True redemption from Backlash as Lashley beats Theory the way Theory beat him! But if the All Mighty bleeds, does that mean Styles stands a chance?
Adam Pearce talks with someone on the phone.
How great is the main event? Think about it: AJ Styles VS Bobby Lashley, two former WWE World Champions, and the winner goes on to Night of Champions. This couldn’t have worked out any better. What a main event! But in walks Grayson Waller! Pearce says bye to the person on the phone to say hello to the SmackDown draft pick. Waller, congrats on coming to SmackDown. Waller says SmackDown should be congratulated for picking Waller. Even though it was a little late, but Pearce can make it up to him. Whoever wins tonight in the main event, Styles or Lashley, you put them in the hotseat on the SmackDown debut of the Grayson Waller Effect! That’s viral, right?
Pearce actually agrees, that’s a great idea. It is official! Waller loves it! He can get used to being on Fridays. But then, will Waller’s SmackDown debut be phenomenal or all mighty?
Cameron Grimes VS Baron Corbin!
Speaking of the SmackDown draft picks from NXT, the Cash Money Caveman of Carolina is here to make his in-ring debut, all because the Lone Wolf had to call him “Mr. Irrelevant.” Will Grimes show Corbin just who’s irrelevant here tonight?
But then Corbin gets a mic to say, “Look everybody, it’s Cameron Grimes, SmackDown’s very last pick in the draft.” Corbin is surprised Grimes even showed up. That takes gut all on its own. And Corbin gets it, Grimes is trying to make a name for himself. But in about two minutes, Grimes will be flat on his back, wishing he was back in NXT. Corbin chuckles, the bell rings, and Grimes hits the CAVE-IN!!! Cover, GRIMES WINS!!
Winner: Cameron Grimes, by pinfall
Forget two minutes, that wasn’t even 10 seconds! Corbin loses because he stuck his foot in his mouth, will Grimes go #ToTheMoon here on SmackDown?
Roman Reigns heads to the ring!
The University of Tennessee cheers since The Tribal Chief is actually here! He leads the way for Paul Heyman, Solo Sikoa & The Usos as they stand on stage. The WWE Universal Championship is raised, as are the fingers, for the pyro to go off. But what will the Head of the Table have to say about all things Bloodline? We find out, after the break.
SmackDown returns and the Bloodline has moved into the ring. Roman lifts the belts for the second round of pyro, and the Bloodline raise the fingers. Heyman has the mic, The Bloodline revels in the cheers and jeers for a moment, and then Heyman hands the mic over to Roman. Roman says, “Knoxville, Tennessee! ACKNOWLEDGE ME!” Fans are torn, but plenty chant for “ROMAN! ROMAN!” Roman continues with, “Y’see, that’s what greatness garners. It garners respect. But regardless of reactions or not, this is one thing that must be respected.
“There’s a lot of talk about royal families and families of importance in the wrestling business here, but let’s be honest: there’s only one. Every man in this ring, every man in this ring main evented both nights of WrestleMania. And I know you’re probably saying we’ve only done two nights for so long, but, let’s just say this. We’re the only ones that will ever main event both nights of WrestleMania. And the success, it doesn’t stop there, we just kept pushing along into Backlash. Even when the Tribal Chief isn’t there, somebody’s gotta step up. And who stepped up this time, huh? Solo stepped up!”
Fans are torn again as Roman looks at The Enforcer of the Island. Roman says he must admit, “There was a little concern when we first got Solo up here on the road, because let’s be honest, he’s in the ring with some of the best of all time. Excuse me, not some of the best, the best of all time. And when you get thrown into the deep end, you can either sink or you can swim. And let’s be honest, Solo swims like a shark. If there’s every a problem, he eliminates it. Look at the Riddle problem. Handled, right?” Solo nods, but he brings up Kevin and Sami. That’s how good Solo is! He’s still concerned with that problem!
Roman tells Solo that Kevin and Sami- But then the fans start chanting for “SAMI! SAMI!” and “KEVIN! KEVIN!” Roman says not to worry about that anymore. Those two aren’t a problem. They’re not the problem. But there is a problem. A real problem, an actual problem, but it is not Sami & Kevin. “The problem… are your brothers.” Fans are stunned and the Usos aren’t sure how to react to that. Roman walks over to Jey & Jimmy, and he asks what they thought was going to happen. That they were gonna lose in the main event of WrestleMania and no one talks about it? That they were gonna beg for a rematch and then dedicate it to him for some reason, and then lose?
You dedicate a match to Roman and then you lose!? Roman’s not attached to the tag titles, why are they dedicating something like that to him!? He’s not IN a tag team, he’s the greatest singles wrestler of all time! “We literally have Hall of Fame tag teams in our family, and you dedicate it to me? You disrespect our bloodline and dedicate a tag team championship match to me?” The Usos aren’t sure what to say but Roman says he tried to take some time off, and what do the Usos do? They embarrass him! They misrepresent him, the Bloodline, and the family! They know better than this. APOLOGIZE!
Fans say “NO! NO! NO!” but the Usos look at each other. Roman says don’t look at each other, look at him and apologize! Roman tells the Usos that he doesn’t want anything to come out of their mouth unless it is “I’m sorry” or “I apologize, My Tribal Chief.” The Usos still aren’t sure, and Jimmy starts to chuckle. Roman doesn’t like that, but then the fans are even louder with the “NO! NO! NO!” Roman says he wouldn’t listen to the “idiots.” He’d just apologize. Roman gets closer to Jimmy and says he’d listen up and apologize. Jimmy says this is too much. Oh, so Roman’s just here to make them smile? Are they doing their Goodfellas commercial again?
Roman is here to pop Jimmy, he’s a clown now? He pie faces Jimmy as he asks, “Who’s the clown?” Fans boo and Jimmy scowls. Roman dares him to do something. Heyman gets out of the ring just in case… Fans chant “WHOOP SOME ASS!” But then Jey steps up, to apologize for them both. “We apologize, Uce. Alright?” But if Roman gives them one more shot, they’ll bring those titles back to the Bloodline. Roman says that’s right, those titles will come back to the Bloodline. “Wise Man, fill ’em in.” Heyman returns to the ring, takes the mic back and thanks Roman.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the Tribal Chief has shown up here tonight with a game plan already in hand. The Tribal Chief, this week, authorized me to pull every string, to flex our Bloodline muscle with the Board of Directors, and here it is. The Undisputed Tag Team titles come home to the Bloodline at the Night of Champions! When Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn will lose the tag team championships to…! SOLO… and Your Tribal Chief, ROMAN! REIGNS!” Jey is livid now but he can’t do anything about this! Roman says at Night of Champions, they do what they always do: they represent for The Bloodline.
And Roman dedicates this victory and their reigns to the greatest tag team of all time, Afa & Sika, the Wild Samoans. Jey is still livid, Jimmy is speechless, but their hands are tied as Roman takes the responsibility away from them. Will the Head of the Table have only more gold on his plate after WWE’s return to Saudi Arabia?
Backstage interview with Damage CTRL.
Kayla Braxton is with Bayley, Iyo Sky & Dakota Kai, and Bayley says, “Crushing over Roman Reigns much? Huh? This is supposed to be our interview time. But y’know what, I get it. Roman and I have so much in common. We’re both Grand Slam Champions and we’re both exceptional leaders. Even when things don’t exactly go as planned.” But Bayley tells Iyo not to worry, Bayley will take the blame for what happened at Backlash. She pushed Iyo too hard, and maybe Iyo wasn’t ready yet. Iyo rolls her eyes as Bayley continues to say, “But like Roman, sometimes leaders need to take things into their own hands.
“And that’s exactly what I’m gonna do tonight when Dakota and I exert our dominance and win back the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships! So Kayla, why don’t you go tell Roman that SmackDown belongs to Damage CTRL! HAHA!” The Role Model leads the way, but will DMG CTRL really take control? Or will the champions still be #LivingLarge?
The Usos grumble backstage.
They hear the LWO laughing and Jey gets mad. Is something funny to them? Joaquin Wilde says ain’t nobody speaking to the Usos, they were talking in Spanish and stuff. Jimmy says the LWO must’ve seen what just happened out there and now everything’s funny. How ’bout Jimmy kicks them in the face? Cruz asks what’s wrong with them, they all start shouting, Zelina tries to keep the peace, but then Rey & Escobar walk over. Escobar says it’s not the LWO’s fault that the Tribal Jefe doesn’t love them no more. Now that’s funny. The Usos decide to leave, but what will it take for them to cool off from what Roman did?
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships: Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez VS Bayley & Dakota Kai w/ Iyo Sky!
SmackDown returns as DMG CTRL make their entrance. The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see just who controls the Women’s Tag Division.
The teams sort out and Dakota starts against Raquel. They rush in, Dakota tilt-o-whirls but Raquel easily stands up against the crucifix takedown. Dakota shifts to a sunset flip, still not enough power and Raquel drags Dakota right up! Raquel whips Dakota to the corner, runs in and RAMS into Dakota! Tag to Liv, Liv taunts Bayley and Raquel whips her in to body block Dakota! Then Liv whips Raquel to SPLASH Dakota! Snapmare and basement dropkick! Cover, TWO! Liv keeps cool and Bayley coaches Dakota. Dakota PELES Liv down! And we see Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn, the NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions, watching this match gleefully.
Dakota rolls Liv, TWO, but Dakota Oklahoma Rolls, TWO! Liv trips Dakota, covers, TWO! Dakota ROLLING ELBOWS Liv and Liv sits down in a daze. Dakota struts around, Bayley yells at Michael Cole to talk about it, and Dakota bumps Liv off buckles. Tag to Bayley, she and Dakota bring Liv around to double whip. Liv holds ropes, BOOTS Dakota, then rolls Bayley up! TWO but Liv hurries to whip Bayley. Bayley reverses, Liv goes up and over, but Dakota waistlocks. Liv slips under, dodges the haymaker, but Bayley CLOBBERS Liv! Cover, TWO! Alba & Isla pretend to be surprised while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and both Liv and Bayley are down. Fans rally, both women crawl, hot tags to Dakota and Raquel! The former friends meet again, and Raquel rallies! Dakota ducks a lariat but not the SOUTHPAW! Raquel then scoops to FALL AWAY SLAM! Dakota goes to a corner, Raquel SPLASHES her, then scoops to FALL AWAY SLAM again! Dakota’s in a drop zone, Raquel runs in, but Dakota avoids the Vader! Hot tag back to Bayley! But Raquel choke grips each of them, to DOUBLE CHOKE SLAM!

Winners: Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez, by pinfall (still WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions)
Bayley is stunned! But there’s also a bit of deja vu as the DMG CTRL cheating only backfires on them, just like Backlash! How will DMG CTRL ever live this down?
The Brawling Brutes console Sheamus.
Ridge Holland says not to worry! They can go get some pints. #YESBOY~! Pretty Deadly is here on SmackDown, and they say hey. Well, look at that, SmackDown’s newest tag team, straight from NXT. So who is Pretty and who is Deadly? Hah. Anyway, Elton Prince & Kit Wilson are new to Friday Night SnackDown, and they wanna know how to fill these forms out. They got their names, but the rest is unclear. Like, for example, “Mr. Butch,” did you put primary language as “unintelligible grunts?” Ridge keeps Dunne from rushing them, but then Kit has to ask Ridge if he got confused by all the big words and needed mum to help.
Sheamus holds Ridge back now, Pretty Deadly say “Sorry about that loss.” Sheamus glares as Pretty Deadly walks away, but he does agree to those pints. Ridge’s treat, of course. Will the Brawling Brutes all bounce back soon enough? And will Kit & Elton watch themselves before they end up pretty dead meat?
Bianca Belair is here!
Knoxville cheers for their own as the longEST reigning women’s champion of the modern era makes her way to the ring. Bianca gives kisses to her family in the front row, then gets in the ring for this championship celebration! And look at all that pyro! But uh, then Asuka shows up…? The Empress of Tomorrow did join SmackDown along with Bianca through the WWE Draft, but she also lost to Bianca not too long ago. Asuka enters the ring, and offers a handshake. Fans chant for the EST, perhaps to encourage her. Bianca accepts the handshake, but then gets BLUE MIST!! Asuka is a sneaky one!
Bianca flails and writhes while Asuka laughs and enjoys her handiwork. Fans boo but Asuka blows kisses as she leaves. Refs and medics get Bianca water and towels, but will Bianca make Asuka regret ruining her homecoming?
WWE World Heavyweight Championship Tournament SmackDown Finals: AJ Styles VS Bobby Lashley!

A phenomenal start to SmackDown, and a phenomenal finish to SmackDown, because AJ Styles is heading to the title match! Styles stands by the belt on stage, and the OC rush out to celebrate with him! Will Styles be a phenomenal new World Heavyweight Champion?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown, with great action and great build to Night of Champions. Great stuff in the SmackDown half of the World Heavyweight Championship tournament, especially that first Triple Threat. The constant action and how the opponents were quite literally used against each other reminded me of the Triple Threat of Samoa Joe VS Christopher Daniels VS AJ Styles way back when in TNA Impact. Then the second Triple Threat was really good at playing up the opportunistic finish Theory pulled on Lashley and then flipping it. But ouch, Lashley really did get a bad welt and cut off the steel steps.
Styles VS Lashley was great stuff, but maybe held back by how Lashley got that welt and cut. Styles winning is fine, I’m doubtful anyone was gonna beat Rollins anyway, and you can check my article from Raw on why it’s gotta be Rollins anyway. We also got good stuff in promos to play off these results, like Pretty Deadly taunting The Brawling Brutes to get themselves in their first feud, and Grayson Waller wanting to interview whoever the main event winner was for his own debut. Styles winning in this case also works because he’s already had beef with Waller when Styles did that quick visit to NXT.
I almost busted up laughing at Grimes squashing Corbin, just… wow! Corbin has been the butt of jokes for WWE, but I would not have thought they’d do this to him. But hey, great for Grimes, he deserves to get going somehow. Maybe Grimes can take the US title off Theory. Good promo from Bayley before the really good tag title match, and as I figured, DMG CTRL cheating costs them the win. The big surprise was Alba & Isla watching this match, but who knows, there could be something big in the works. Raquel & Liv will surely beat Sonya Deville & Chelsea Green on Raw, and then maybe Night of Champions gives us Women’s Tag Champs VS Women’s Tag Champs.
Speaking of women’s titles, I’m a little surprised it was Asuka interrupting Bianca’s title celebration and not either Rhea Ripley wanting to do something about how they’re both champions of the other brand, or someone completely different wanting their first shot at Bianca. That said, of course Asuka was gonna mist Bianca, and we’re getting that match one more time around. Bianca has the record for longest reign now, so maybe now she can drop the title? We’ll have to wait and see. But where Rhea is going to face Natalya and surely win, I wouldn’t be surprised if Bianca beats Asuka one more time, and then we get Rhea VS Bianca at some point in the near future.
And of course, the Bloodline story continues to be so very good. I had a feeling Roman was going to put Solo in the tag title situation over at least one Uso, like he sticks it to Jey for talking with Sami in secret, but he instead also inserts himself into this. Once again, Sami is proven right about how Roman was not for the Usos dedicating things to Roman and then losing, but uh, are Sami & Kevin really going to Night of Champions? They’ve been against Saudi Arabia shows, never being on one in any capacity, so was I right to fantasy book a title match on TV that Kevin & Sami lose? Now that fans have been told about Roman & Solo VS Sami & Kevin, that move would feel like a ripoff. I guess that’s another “wait and see” move.
My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Jelly Roll is here!
He says hey to Randy Orton, and Randy says Jelly looks great! Jelly is happy to be here and always enjoys seeing the WWE. What more will the country superstar get to do here tonight live in Nashville?
LA Knight is here!
Nashville fires up for the Mega Star as he heads to the ring, and he grabs a mic to say, “LEMME TALK TO YA! Predictions and spoilers. Two things that are common themes here in the wrestling business, two things that come out of Paul Heyman’s mouth an awful lot.” The fans boo, but Knight says when you think about Heyman, that’s a guy who feels he holds all this power. In some ways, he does. Think about it: Seth Freakin’ Rollins, an honestly desperate man, a man who is a little washed, had to go and make a desperate move like joining forces with Heyman. Then they amassed this group, this “Goon troop of that slop house, Bronson Reed, and then that dog brained Bron Breakker.”
The fans do bark but Knight says don’t do that, Bron is gonna get all excited and start twitching, shaking out the last couple crumbs of his brain that’re left. But Knight will stop joking and get serious right now. Those two men tried to hurt Knight, injure him, get him out of the WWE, all on the orders of Seth Rollins, because he couldn’t do it his damn self! So now in 24 hours, it is Knight, it is Rollins, at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Knight got his hands on Rollins twice. But even dropping him on his head this past Monday is not enough! Rollins, Knight wants your dignity, he wants justice, and if he’s honest, he wants to hurt Rollins!
And hurt Rollins he will! Rollins has all the reason to sit back there with Heyman and his boys saying to himself, “I’m not scared of LA Knight.” Well he ain’t gotta be scared to get his ass kicked! And kicked it most certainly will be! And that’s not a prediction, that isn’t even a spoiler, that’s a damn fact of life, cuz Knight IS the spoiler! YEAH! But then “Ladies and gentlemen…” Paul Heyman makes his introductions, says the fans blew their cue, but that’s okay. Because that is not surprising coming from fans of L A Knight! “YEAH!” Heyman hates when fans do that. But as Seth Rollins’ Oracle, Heyman is blessed with many gifts.
Besides being outlandishly good-looking, Heyman can also see the future. And he sees into the future for Rollins, for Heyman, for Bron & Bronson, and their future is the future of this entire industry! Heyman looks into the future for Knight, and sees absolutely nothing, because Knight has no future. But wait, Solo Sikoa makes his way out here? Solo and the MFT make their way out, and Solo has a mic. “Y’know, some things change, and some things stay the same. Paul Heyman, when you left to Raw, and when you left my family, everything changed. There’s no more Bloodline, no more Tribal Chief, and there is no more Wise Man.”
The fans chant for “O T C! O T C!” Solo ignores that to tell Heyman that if he wants to live to see another day, Solo suggests Heyman leave before the MFT puts his big ass through the table like before! Heyman does indeed retreat through the crowd. Solo then tells Mr. L A Knight, “YEAH!” “NO!” “YEAH!” Knight says listen to the people, they say “YEAH!” Solo says here’s something that changed: He’s the NEW United States Champion, baby! That means the man that beat Knight at WrestleMania, the one everyone is afraid of, the Samoan Werewolf, Jacob Fatu, Solo beat him and he is gone! The fans cheer for “FATU! FATU!” but Solo ignores that, too.
Knight will get the same opportunity Solo just gave Heyman: Knight can leave the ring, leave the arena, and not come back… Or the MFT make it so Knight never walks again. Knight steps to the ropes, but the fans cheer him on! Knight says the fans won’t let him leave, so if MFT wants to make him leave, then they gotta do it themselves! Solo has JC Mateo, Tonga Loa & Tala Tonga flank the apron, Knight dares someone to make a move! But who slides that chair in? JIMMY USO! Jimmy YANKS Loa down, SUPERKICKS him, and Knight swings the chair! Jimmy JAMS JC with a chair, SMACKS him down, and the fans fire up again!
Knight & #BigJim stand tall, but then Tala Tonga is even taller! But Solo has him stand down! The fans boo but Tala listens to Solo. The MFT regroup and Aldis is here! Aldis says Solo is the US Champion and he has new friends, but this is still SmackDown, and Aldis runs the show. Solo would’ve been more concerned with not getting molly whopped by Jimmy but he’s out here starting fights. So if it’s a fight he wants, then let’s give Music City a tag team match! Let’s make it Solo & “that stooge,” JC Mateo against Jimmy Uso & LA Knight! “YEAH!” Will The Mega Star help #BigJim be all tuned up for the huge title match tomorrow night?
Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss meet backstage.
Alexa says, “Hello, your highness.” Maybe Charlotte can take some time out of her royal schedule to be ringside for Alexa’s match? Charlotte tells “Blisster,” that as the shirt says, “We’re Not Friends.” Yes, Alexa remembers. But that’s why she needs Charlotte ringside. Everyone else will have their allies ringside, and if Charlotte wants to have a chance at Evolution, Alexa needs her ringside, too. Charlotte accepts that, but does she look like a cheerleader to her? Oh, Charlotte. You’d be a terrible cheerleader. Not true! She cheers herself on just fine. The “team of convenience” heads out, but will it be Twisted Bliss here in Nashville?
Fatal 4 Way: Roxanne Perez VS Kairi Sane VS Alexa Bliss VS Sol Ruca!
SmackDown returns as The Prodigy makes her entrance, Raquel Rodriguez with her. The Pirate Princess and #TwoBeltsRuca are already present, with Asuka and Zaria, leaving Alexa to make her entrance with Charlotte by her side. The bell rings, Roxie goes right after Kairi, so Sol and Alexa brawl on their end. The fans rally as Roxie HAMMERS Kairi in a corner and Sol whips Alexa. Alexa tilt-o-whirls but Sol turns that to a SPINNING FACEBUSTER! Cover, Kairi breaks it! Kairi stands Olo up, blocks a kick and spins her to ROCK her! And AX KICK her! The fans fire up and Kairi whips, but Sol reverses.
Kairi goes up and RANAS Sol out of the ring! The fans fire up, Kairi builds speed, but Roxie hits a THESZ PRESS! Roxie windmills haymakers, then she drags Kairi up. Roxie wrenches, clinches, but Sol springboards to DOUBLE MISSILE DRPOKICK Roxie and Kairi! Those two tumble out, Sol builds speed as the fans rally, and Sol handsprings to FOSBURY FLOP! Down go all three opponents and Charlotte is as stunned as anyone! Sol smiles as she stands tall, and SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Sol drags Roxie up and into the ring, then runs up to trip her up! Handspring and SUPERKICK! Cover, TWO! Roxie flounders, Sol brings her up to fireman’s carry, but Roxie slips free.

Roxie stomps away on the leg, then hits a KNEE JAMMER! Sol writhes but Roxie runs to tilt-o-whirl RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Cover, TWO! Sol toughs it out but Roxie brings her around for a toehold.

Alexa stands Roxie up but Roxie wrenches and THROWS Alexa down! Roxie stomps Alexa at the ropes in a very Alexa way! Roxie mockingly takes a bow while Alexa flops out of the ring. But then Kairi FLYING KABUKI ELBOWS Roxie! Cover, TWO!
Kairi keeps moving, she BLASTS Sol off the apron, but Roxie waistlocks. Kairi bucks the O’Conner, Roxie ducks the uraken! Roxie ROCKS Kairi, then brings her around to whip. Kairi hits buckles, Roxie runs in and UPPERCUTS! Roxie rolls, returns, but Kairi BOOTS her away! Kairi goes up, SmackDown returns to single picture, and Roxie SLAPS Kairi! Roxie climbs, Kairi CLUBS her, and the two brawl. Roxie CLUBS Kairi, brings her up, but Kairi resists the suplex! Sol & Alexa join in! TOWER OF DOOM! Roxie and Kairi flounder away, and Charlotte sorta cheers Alexa on. The fans rally, Alexa and Sol rise to fire forearms!
The fans duel, Alexa dodges Sol to SLAP, ROCK, and KNEE her! Then BLOCKBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Sol stays in this but Alexa brings her up. Alexa reels Sol in but Roxie SUPERKICKS Alexa down! Roxie puts Alexa on ropes, runs and UPPERCUTS her in the back! Roxie then goes up, up, LIONSAULT! Cover, Sol breaks it! Sol whips Roxie to ropes, but Roxie wheelbarrows, only for Sol to have the arms! SURFBOARD BACKSTABBER! SHINING WIZARD! Cover, TWO! Sol hurries to scoop Roxie, SLAMS her down, then she goes up the corner! Kairi CLIPS Sol’s legs! Kairi climbs up and HEADBUTTS Sol into the Tree of Woe!
The fans rally as Kairi rises up, WOE STOMPS! Cover, Alexa AND Roxie break it! The fans fire up as Alexa and Roxie oddly work together to TOSS Kairi out! But then Roxie rolls Alexa, with tights! TWO!

Winner: Alexa Bliss, by pinfall
Charlotte applauds, and her being Alexa’s backup really did work out. Will the odd couple win the gold the same way on Sunday?
WWE Tag Team Championships: The Street Profits VS The Wyatt Sick6!
The first time around was ruined by the chaos and animosity that is the SmackDown Tag Division. But now, Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins will be facing Joe Gacy & Dexter Lumis with more fair circumstances. Will the Profits stay up? Or will this be their reckoning?
SmackDown returns, and the lights go down! The piano plays and the fireflies come out to play as the Wyatts make their entrance. The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who revels in who they are!
The teams sort out, Gacy starts against Dawkins. They circle, tie up, and Dawkins powers Gacy to a corner. The ref counts, Dawkins backs off at 4, and Ford mocks Gacy with a “crazy laugh.” The fans cheer the Profits on as Gacy and Dawkins go again. They tie up, Gacy powers Dawkins back, but then Dawkins powers Gacy back. Gacy turns things around, Gacy puts Dawkins in the corner, and now Lumis laughs. Dawkins and Gacy reset again, tie up, and Dawkins waistlocks to SLAM Gacy. Dawkins keeps the waistlock, Gacy fights up, and Gacy fires elbows!

Winners: Joe Gacy & Dexter Lumis, by pinfall (NEW WWE Tag Team Champions)
Howdy, Rowan & Nikki celebrate with Gacy & Lumis! They finally have some golden justification for their existence, will this only be the beginning for the Wyatts’ takeover of the WWE?
The other teams of SmackDown are watching.
And they don’t like what they just saw. Motor City Machine Guns & Fraxiom have varying looks of dread on their face, and now DIY walks in. Tommaso Ciampa is shouting, “Stupid! Stupid!” Chris Sabin says Johnny Gargano has some nerve showing his face after what he did last week. Shelley says don’t get too angry, or Gargano will run away again. Gargano says they can’t fix the past, but they need to work together now more than ever! The worst case scenario just came true! Frazer says give it a break. Ciampa says if these idiots- guys had just listened to DIY in the first place, none of this would be happening.
Axiom asks why they should listen to DIY. Ciampa says it’s because they know what’s best! DUH! Frazer says shut up, the Wyatts are the champs. And since it was the Wyatts who cost Fraxiom their shot at the Profits, maybe Fraxiom should get the first shot, right? Andrade y Rey Fenix walk in and asks if they’re talking opportunities. Hey, chicos, after the last few weeks, Fenix & Andrade are now part of this tag division. What?! NO! DIY is freaking out more, the dynamic is ruined! They’re gonna talk to Aldis right now! Andrade says tranquilo! Fenix says adios, amigos. But will El Idolo & The Firebird blaze a trail right to the titles?
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Nashville’s own, Jelly Roll!
The country superstar and WWE super fan performs his hit song, Liar! But then LOGAN PAUL interrupts?! Seriously!? He mocks the fans booing him, saying those boos are for Jelly! Everyone is here to see real WWE superstars! Certainly not to listen to music made for people who have tattoos of their children, but not custody of them! The fans boo that, but Logan tells Jelly that the ring is sacred. And this venue is sacred! Jelly belongs on a stage, not in the ring. And what Logan is more disgusted by is celebrities, influences, personalities, or whatever Jelly is, coming into “our” industry, leeching off of “our” success on a platform that “we” have built!
Clout chasers DISGUST Logan! The fans boo because who is Logan to talk? But Logan says the truth is, the WWE doesn’t need a Jelly Roll, it needs a Logan Paul! The fans boo even more! Logan says he raised the bar for what it means to be a pro-wrestler! And Jelly does what? Why’s he here? Logan is here cuz he belongs here. And breaking news: the WWE loves Logan so much that his podcast, ImPAULsive, has just inked a long term contract with the WWE! Jelly has Logan hold up. Logan must not understand where he is. This is JELLY’s hometown of Nashville, Tennessee! The fans fire up for that!
And just so we’re clear, down here, nobody gives a DAMN about Logan’s podcast! The fans cheer that, too! Jelly and Logan get in their faces, and Randy Orton storms out here shouting, “Outsider? OUTSIDER?!” Orton can’t believe Logan has the BALLS to call Jelly Roll an OUTSIDER, in his hometown!? That is one of the biggest names in country music, in music period, and if anyone is an outsider, LOGAN is the outsider! How about some damn respect?! Orton storms into the ring, tells Logan “you entitled, whiny little b*tch,” everyone back there, from top to bottom, does everything they can do, bending backwards and moving Heaven and Earth, just to make Logan look good!
But wait, someone else is here?! DREW MCINTYRE CLAYMORES ORTON!! Drew says that is what happens when Drew doesn’t hesitate! Logan applauds, security rushes in, and Drew says okay, okay, he’s done! He got what he wanted. Drew leaves, gives security thumbs up on the “great job” they’re doing, and promises that Orton’s ass is all his tomorrow! And then Logan is a vulture, picking the bones! The fans boo but security is too busy with Drew! Jelly is upset, the fans are upset, but then Jelly clamps onto Logan’s curly hair! Jelly stands Logan up, THROWS him down, and the fans fire up! Jelly tells Logan that’s what he gets!
Jelly helps Orton up to his feet, and the fans cheer! Logan wants back in but now it’s Jelly & Orton in his way. Security rushes back up, producers and refs get in there, and Aldis has everyone stand down. Orton hugs Jelly, he loved the throw! Logan says he’s got something for Jelly! Logan takes one of the guitars and SMASHES it against the drum set! Jelly is furious but Logan makes a mess of the entire set-up! Even the speakers and keyboard! “Oopsie~!” The fans boo but Orton has Jelly stand down, Logan’s just throwing a tantrum like the child he is. Will Drew and Logan each get their comeuppance soon enough?
Jelly Roll and Randy Orton regroup backstage.
Orton thanks Jelly for haivng his back but same back to Orton. And Jelly doesn’t trust Logan, so he might join Satruday NIght’s Main Event ot watch. Orton would be honored to have JElly in his codrner! Then he’s got Orton’s back! They shake hands on it, will #JellyRKO be standing tall in ATL?
Aleister Black VS Ron Killings!
The Dark Father didn’t appreciate The Truth going after Kit Wilson just to call out John Cena, but the Black Mass was supposed to be the end of it. However, Aleister should know better, because Ron Killings is driving now. Will Aleister be able to handle The Truth, the whole Truth, and nothing but the Truth? Or will he make Ron Killings #FadeToBlack?
The bell rings and Truth dodges a boot to LEG LARIAT! Then he runs in and SPLASHES at the corner! The fans rally, Truth brings Aleister in and suplexes, but Aleister slips free! Aleister spins, sweeps the legs, then he brings Truth up to fire fast hands! It is a strike fest but the ref backs Aleister off as Truth is in the corner. Aleister kicks low, whips, but Truth hits the SPINNING ELBOW! The fans fire up as Aleister bails out, and Truth says, “What’s up?” “WHAT’S UP!” Truth runs, but Aleister KNEES low! Aleister whips Truth out of the ring, then goes up, out, and ASAI MOONSAULTS! Truth dodges! Truth then RAMS Aleiste rinto the POST!
Truth puts Aleister in the ring, “Who’s driving now!?” The fans fire up, but Truth grabs a chair! Truth isn’t playing around, but Aleister stands on the chair! Then he KNEES Truth in the mouth! Aleister takes the chair, the ref says don’t do it, and then he takes the chair away! Truth O’Conner Rolls, TRUTH WINS!
Winner: Ron Killings, by pinfall
The fans cheer but Aleister is furious! Truth is crazy like a fox, but Aleister is a wolf! He stalks Truth to the back, will he get vengeance one way or another?
Aleister Black follows Truth!
But Damian Priest steps in! Priest gets it, Aleister is mad, he lost, but he has to let it go! Aleister calms down, and says fine, Priest is right. Okay, just take it easy. But then JUMP KNEE! Aleister beats up on Priest with KICKS, and then a BLACK MASS! Priest falls, Aleister looms over him, and Aleister says now he can let it go.
Wade Barrett is in the ring.
And he is already joined by WWE Women’s Champion, Tiffany Stratton, and her Hall of Famer friend and challenger, Trish Stratus. Wade says in 48 hours at WWE Evolution, we have a dream match on our hands for the title! He has a few questions, and he starts with champion Tiffany Stratton. Tiffy, what made you choose THE Trish Stratus as your opponent? Tiff says it should be obvious: She already beat Charlotte Flair, Nia Jax, Bayley, and at Evolution, why wouldn’t she want one of the greatest of all time? Tiff gave Trish this match because once Tiff wins, she’ll be the GOAT. Well, yes, this is perhaps THE GOAT.
But there is certainly pressure on Trish’s shoulders. How is she preparing to face the top woman of today? Trish says yes, there is pressure. But the one who should be feeling it is Tiff. Tiff said it herself, she needs to beat Trish to become the GOAT, something Trish already is. The fans cheer that! So when Trish wins at Evolution, she leaves with the title while Tiff leaves with nothing. On Sunday, Trish does what she’s been doing for 25 years, and that is deliver Stratusfaction! The fans cheer that, and Tiff says sure, she’ll let Trish relive her glory days. But things are different now. This is Evoltuion for a reason.
And Tiff knows all about Trish’s accomplishments, she saw the VHS tapes. Oh, cute. Did she hear about VHS on TikTok? Look, Tiff, Trish built the division, solidified it, and is still delivering for it! The fans cheer that, too! Trish loves Tiff, loves what Tiff is doing as champion, but on Sunday, Trish becomes the EIGHT-TIME Women’s Champion! WAIT, Naomi is here! The fans fire up for Miss Money in the bank, and she just wants to remind us all… That it don’t matter- JADE ATTACKS! Jade Cargill will not let Naomi talk, she throws hands! Producers rush out here once again, and Jade shouts, “ON SIGHT! ON SIGHT!”
Naomi gets up and throws hands back! The brawl is on, but these two will go NO HOLDS BARRED at Evolution! Will Jade make sure Naomi has nothing left to even think about cashing in? As for Tiff and Trish, will their friendship end because of ambition?
Solo Sikoa & JC Mateo w/ MFT VS Jimmy Uso & LA Knight!
The Usurper of the Table used his entire “family tree” to take the US Championship from Jacob Fatu, but now he’ll have to answer to Big Brother Jim! Will the Imperial Unit keep Solo at 100%? Or will Jimmy and the Mega Star keep it 100 and build momentum going into Saturday Night’s Main Event?
SmackDown returns as Knight makes his entrance to join Jimmy in the ring. That leaves Solo and the MFT to make their entrance. The teams sort out and Solo starts against Knight. They circle, but Loa takes as wipe! Solo CLOBBERS Knight int he distraction! Solo CLUBS Knight, talks trash, then whips Knight, only for Knight to NECKBREAKER! Knight stomps a mudhole into Solo, “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight stops as the ref counts to tag Jimmy in. Knight runs, taunts JC, and he KNEES Solo! Jimmy does the same before he HIP ATTACKS!

Solo soaks up more heat, looms over Jimmy, and he HEADBUTTS Jimmy down! Solo stalks Jimmy to the ropes, CHOKES him on the ropes, and even CLAWS Jimmy’s face! Jimmy endures, Solo stops as the ref counts, but that lets JC CHOKE Jimmy! Knight protests but the ref misses it. JC tags in, then he whips Jimmy to a corner. JC runs up to ELBOW Jimmy! Jimmy flops down and JC tags Solo back in. Solo looms over Jimmy, drags him up, but Jimmy fires hands!
Solo reaches out but Jimmy keeps him back! Jimmy fires hands, reaches out, but Solo whips him away into buckles!

And wait, Paul Heyman is still here!? He has the Rollins phone! Heyman tells Knight to calm down, he’s not doing anything. TALA BOOTS KNIGHT!! BUT JIMMY ROLLS SOLO! JIMMY & KNIGHT WIN!
Winners: Jimmy Uso & LA Knight, by pinfall
Jimmy hurries away as MFT pursues! But Solo blames Heyman because he TOLD Heyman to stay outta here! Heyman is worried now that Solo’s anger is aimed at him. But Knight gets Solo with B F T!! The fans fire up and Knight tells Heyman to watch his ass! But Knight should take his own advice! BRON BREAKKER is in the ring!! Knight turns around, into the SUPER SPEAR!! BRONSON REED IS UP TOP!? TSUNAMI!! The fans are torn as Bronson shouts that this is THEIR WWE! Security rushes out here for the third time tonight, but Heyman has the monsters stand down. Will Knight even be able to stand up to face Rollins?
As for Jimmy, will he give Solo some tough love by taking the United States Championship from him? Or will Solo’s new brothers in arms stop at nothing to make sure he keeps it?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown as the go-home to the big Atlanta weekend, and not a lot in the way of “Go-Home Syndrome” other than a big Gunther VS Goldberg recap package at the hour mark. There was also confirmation that some rumors out there are right: Jelly Roll is getting involved for an in-ring program. Logan interrupting his concert was a touch surprising, but SummerSlam is coming and that is very much a PLE worth Logan Paul’s time/paycheck. Drew getting the jump on Orton was good, too, that adds to Orton VS McIntyre for SNME, and I feel like we’re getting Orton & Jelly VS Logan & Drew, but maybe not cuz I don’t see Drew caring for Logan’s stuck-up personality. But maybe it’ll be just like Logan teaming with Cena, where the blame for the loss is put on Logan.
Aleister VS Truth was a rather short match but it was a good win for Truth to get one over on Aleister. And clearly the real feud is Aleister VS Priest after Aleister beats Priest down like that. Those two can have a great couple of matches building towards SummerSlam and some sort of title opportunity, and there might even be potential for them as allies should the fight “help them find respect for each other.” The two just work so well aesthetically together, it wouldn’t surprise me if they tried that for a stretch.
Great tag title match, a little surprised it wasn’t the main event, but considering what we got from Knight, Heyman, and Solo’s “Family Tree,” it makes sense in retrospect. The Wyatts winning was certainly the right move to me, they certainly needed something like this, and at least they did it using Heelish numbers game tactics. The rest of the tag division being upset about it, and being upset with each other, was good stuff, and certainly an interesting move for Andrade & Fenix to stick together as a team. Also it kinda fits that Los Garza wasn’t present, they already have tag titles so what do they need to worry about the Wyatts for right now?
Speaking of Knight, Heyman and “MFT,” great promos from everybody, and great brawl to set up the tag main event. Lots of overbooking with how Loa & Tala were ringside and then Heyman returned after that warning from Solo. Heyman of course brought Bron & Bronson with him for that, so while Jimmy & Knight win the match, the go-home math for each of their SNME matches are very different. Jimmy got the win and ran off to “stand tall” because Solo will retain the title. Knight gets beat down because some how, some way, he’ll likely win against Rollins, but that’s all to smokescreen Rollins attempting a cash-in on Gunther VS Goldberg a la WrestleMania 31.
Very good promo from Tiff and Trish but it didn’t really add anything, and it didn’t go very far with Naomi showing up. Jade going after Naomi was really good, too. I can’t be sure who wins between Jade and Naomi when it is No Holds Barred, but whatever damage Jade does to Naomi is reason enough for Naomi not to cash-in on Sunday. And of course Tiff beats Trish, they’re just doing this for another great generational battle like Tiff VS Charlotte was. Charlotte and Alexa had a good promo before the great Fatal 4 Way, and great win for Alexa through it. The math now says she and Charlotte aren’t winning on Sunday.
As I’ve said before, Roxie & Raquel losing would certainly fast track things in the Judgment Day’s newest dysfunction, but with Liv Morgan out for some time, they might try to stretch things out. That makes me think Roxie & Raquel retain and feud with Kabuki Warriors 2v2 on Raw until Liv is closer to her return.
My Score: 8.8/10

#MXMTV is here!
Mansoor, Mason Madden, Johnny TV & Taya Valkyrie are all here, and dressed for Texas! Taya says “Hello, Arlington, how are you? Yes, I’m gorgeous, I know. And oh, I did not come alone. We are MXM TV! Pure talent, pure class, chaos, and violence! And while you all sit here in your filth, depressed and underdressed, we came here with a life-changing announcement!” Johnny takes the mic to say that before they change everyone’s lives, there is business to take care of. Mansoor & Mason were just competing in the Land of the Rising Sun, in the squared circles of Japan, where they are now regarded as the most legendary of legends in Japanese history!
So let’s welcome them back to ‘Murica with a standing ovation! The fans do applaud, and Johnny says okay, nice to see their slimy rear-ends weren’t stuck to their chairs. They stood on their hooves. But are they stupid? He means cheer! He will put this mic in that guy’s mouth! They just don’t give these jackets away! These jackets are for stars! Let’s hear it, ladies and gentlemen! The fans cheer a bit more, Mansoor says he appreciates Johnny’s enthusiasm, but you can’t expect ignorant “gaijin” to understand! MXM Collection did in fact catwalk the King’s Road, they mastered Strong Style, and they got these sweet, sweet Ribera jackets.
Because when MXM jackets, they jacket together! What? Uh… The fans chant “Jacket! Jacket!” Mason says Strong Style and jackets weren’t the only things they got over there. They also learned that the fans over there actually smell alright! It is all the ignorant, disgusting mutants here filling their noses with filth! So MXM Labs have come up with a new concept: Perfume! They cue up a commercial? “Beneath the surface, something stirs.” “A piercing glance that turns hips.” “A heat that makes you touch tips.” “A gaze that feels like a drop in a puddle.” “Because deep down, everyone wants to be planted and watered.”
“MXM Collection presents: Seed. Let it grow inside you.” Fans chant for “SEED! SEED! SEED!” MXM TV says again, “Let it grow inside you. Seeeeed~!” Well, okay. Will anyone care to buy MXM TV’s Seed?

Zero Hour – The Von Erichs VS The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling!
While Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara defend their ROH World Tag Team Championships during the main show, Marshall & Ross look to double down on that big win over Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese. But of course Smart Mark has the mic to say that everyone already knows who they are. The fans boo, but Sterling brings up the saying, “Everything is bigger in Texas.” And as he looks around this arena, that saying truly means everyone in Texas is just really fat. This crowd looks like someone put wrestling shirts over bags of milk. And despite the fact that they hate being in Texas, and double hate being back in the stupid, nerdy eSports Arena, they will give Texas the thrill of a lifetime.
When he says, “Athletes!” you say, “Rule!” and NOTHING ELSE! Hands in, boys. Ohh…! “ATHLETES! “”SUCK!!” GOTTEE! But now, the Von Erichs make their entrance and the fans cheer!

Marshall storms in but Ross rolls Daivari! The ref misses it all again! The ref is late to the count, ONE! Daivari stomps Ross, then he tags Nese. The Athletes mug Ross with fast hands! Nese fires off haymakers, then he kicks and whips Ross to ropes. Nese ELBOWS Ross down! The fans boo, Marshall gets the fans rallying, but Nese covers. TWO, but Nese clamps on a chinlock. Ross endures, the fans rally more, and Ross reaches out.
Ross rises up, fights his way over, but Nese KNEES low! Nese then sucker punches Marshall! But Ross LARIATS Nese inside-out! Both men are down, but Ross has no one to tag! Nese tags Daivari, Daivari CLOBBERS Ross! The fans boo but Daivari shouts, “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Daivari turns Ross for a NECKBREAKER! Daivari goes up, up, and MAGIC CARPET RIDE FLOPS as Ross moves! The fans fire up as both men crawl, hot tags to Nese and Marshall! Marshall rallies on the Athletes with big right hands! Marshall fire sup, the fans are with him, and he LARIATS Daivari in a corner! LARIAT on Nese in a corner!
Marshall runs up, Daivari ELBOWS him away! Daivari goes up, but Marshall DROPKICKS him down! Marshall runs to CANNONBALL Nese! Cover, TWO! The fans boo but Marshall says time to go up top!

Shane Taylor Promotions arrives.
Big Bad Shaney T. himself is fired up seeing The Infantry roll up in their Jeep. They’re ready to be new tag team champions! This is it, the night they have been waiting for! Tonight, Infantry shows why they are THEM. And if they need any more incentive, Shane shows off the big money in the briefcase. But he snaps it shut, telling them that they only get it after the win. But that’s more than enough for them! Arlington, Run Or Hide, STP is outside! Will Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo finally have some gold? Or will the Sons of Texas ride off into the sunset as conquering heroes?
“It’s been a long road…”
“…to a wild frontier. Where those who fight with honor can strike it rich. Thought fighting without can be a means to an end. This land has been ruled with an iron fist, but change is in the air. While tales of honor spread far and wide, one story has been told more than most. That of the legend, and legend in the making. Then there is the outlaw with a heart of gold, and gold around his waist, who returned for what he never lost, and found he is still The Most Wanted. Tonight, we’re deep in the heart of Texas, so mount up. And welcome to the Lonestar State. Welcome to ROH Supercard of Honor!”
Hechicero w/ Rocky Romero VS Michael Oku w/ Amira!

Hechi has the toehold, Oku rolls, grabs a leg, but Hechi steps over. Oku still holds on, drop toeholds, and he floats to a headlock. Hechi powers up, pries free, and Hechi wrenches to a hammerlock. Hechi also has the chinlock but Oku pries free. Oku flips, UP KICKS, and the fans sing for Oku. Rocky says stop with the singing! Oku and Hechi circle, feel things out, and they knuckle lock. They move around, Hechi hits a takeover, then he hooks an arm to turn Oku over.

Backstage interview with Red Velvet.
Lexy Nair is with The Chef, and notes that earlier this week, news broke that Velvet is not cleared to compete due to injury. With that, there will be an Interim ROH Women’s World TV Champion crowned tonight, so what are her feelings on that? Velvet says Supercard of Honor was supposed to be another night where she showed everyone exactly why she IS the ROH Women’s World TV Champion. But life had other plans. She is injured, can’t compete tonight, but trust her, no one is more frustrated than her. She was supposed to prove to everybody that her reign wasn’t just built on moments, but on grit.
And yes, with all that said, a new interim champion will be crowned. Whoever that is, they better wear the belt with pride, with honor. But don’t get it twisted: Your countdown to losing that title to Velvet has only just begun. Velvet will watch this match very closely. In fact, she’ll do it from ringside! The Chef heads out, who will get cooking in her place?
