The Usos are here!
The Cajundome erupts as Jimmy & Jey make their way to the ring! The Usos get the mics, fans chant “UCE! SO! UCE! SO!” and Jey says, “Ey ey! The Bloodline-” Jimmy stops him there and they both smirk. “Aight, aight, aight. The USOS are now in your city!” Jimmy is feeling good. He’s feeling real good! Yo, Jey, how you feeling? Fans chant “UCEY! UCEY!” Jey says if he’s 100 right now, they about to fight family, Uce. Family don’t do that. Family is supposed to lift each other up, get each other’s backs, and make sure from the bottom to the top, everyone’s taken care of. From day one ’til the end.
Jimmy has Jey calm down. Because to him, it sounds like Jey made the absolute perfect choice. Fans cheer that! The Usos say they love each other, and they even still love Roman Reigns. They do! For three years, they were in the trenches together, Uce. Jey did anything Roman told him to do. He tells ’em jump, they jump high. He tells ’em go low, they go low. They’ll forgive him. But where Roman messed up is when he disrespected the Usos. The Usos were raised on respect. Respect is huge. It isn’t about falling in line. When they did, they became the most dominant faction in the WWE. But that was with respect.
Once Roman started showing the Usos they weren’t worth nothing, well guess what? Yo ass is stuck on the Island of Relevancy all alone! Roman and… the biggest snake of ’em all! Real talk, this ain’t even sound like Roman. But what they can’t forgive is the ones on the outside. The ones who are outside the circle. Sounding like rats. Follow the rats, they lead to snakes. And the biggest snake is that dude, Paul Heyman! For 40 YEARS, Heyman wanted to claim the utmost respect for the family. For 40 YEARS, he loved and respected them. But how could you take orders from a man that was trying to put a wedge between two brothers?
Fans cheer that, and Jey tells Heyman, “Now we gotta get all y’all. Now, we gonna go to London, and we gonna go to war with our family. A civil war in the Bloodline. So that being said, though, you’re looking at the best tag team in the game.” Jimmy says “Talk to ’em.” This for real! Y’all looking at the best tag team in the world! Ain’t no singles competition. Solo Sikoa, Roman Reigns, on July 1st in London in the O2 at Money in the Bank, it’s LOCKDOWN! Solo Sikoa, Roman Reigns, welcome to the Uso Penitentiary!! Fans are all fired up with the Usos! Will they bring down the rest of the Bloodline faction so as to rebuild from the ashes?
Rey Mysterio VS LA Knight!
Naturally, The King of Lucha Libre didn’t take kindly to the Mega Star’s disrespect last week, or that LA Knight cheated Santos Escobar in their 1v1 match. Will Rey dial it up and humble Knight? Or will LA be rolling into the UK with momentum?
SmackDown returns and Knight makes his entrance. Fans fire up with the bell and it seems the Cajundome loves LA Knight. Knight makes sure Rey hears it, then kicks and bumps Rey off buckles! Knight RAMS into Rey, and RAMS him again! Rey flounders away but Knight CHOKES him on ropes! The ref counts, Knight lets off and whips Rey corner to corner hard! Rey bounces off buckles and fans echo Knight’s “YEAH!” Knight stomps Rey, whips him, but Rey ducks ‘n’ dodges to DROPKICK Knight away! Rey storms up but Knight YANKS him onto ropes, to CHOKE him again! The ref counts, and Knight goes to the apron.
Knight KNEES Rey into the ring, then slingshots to SHOULDER TACKLE! Cover, TWO! Rey is still in this but Knight stalks Rey to ropes. Knight whips Rey, Rey KICKS Knight! Rey runs, slides under Knight and tilt-o-whirls to RANA Knight into a corner! Fans rally as Rey climbs up on Knight to rain down fists. Fans count but Knight stops things at five. Rey grabs ropes to deny the slam, and he RANAS Knight into ropes! Rey dials it up, 619! Fans fire up as Rey climbs, but Knight bails to the apron. Rey then runs to WRECK Knight with a dropkick! Rey builds speed as fans fire up, and Rey SLIDES to SPLASH! Knight sputters and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and Knight whips Rey into a corner, then hits a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Rey is hanging tough but Knight drags him up. Knight reels Rey in, lifts, but Rey fights the bomb to RANA Knight into the corner! Rey then goes to the apron and climbs up the corner. Knight staggers up, into a SEATED SENTON! Rey keeps moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges to springboard CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Rey keeps cool and fires forearms. Knight shoves Rey, Rey comes back, but into a scoop and POWERSLAM! Knight sets up, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!” MEGA ELBOW! Cover, TWO!
Knight is annoyed as Rey survives again, but Rey’s a Hall of Famer for a reason. “This is Awesome!” as Knight whips and Rey holds ropes. Rey elbows Knight then QUEBRADAS! Knight catches Rey, swings him, but Rey hits a DDT! Cover, TWO! Rey is frustrated but he rallies fans up. Knight staggers, Rey CLUBS him and kicks, then ENZIGURIS! Knight ends up on ropes! Rey redials, but Knight blocks the 619 this time! Knight drags Rey up and pops him to a fireman’s carry, but Rey slips free! Rey dodges, springboards, but the wheelbarrow is turned into a waistlock, BIG back suplex, but Rey lands on his feet! But Knight kicks low, B F T!! Cover, Knight wins!!
Winner: LA Knight, by pinfall
The Mega Star just brought down a WWE Grand Slam Champion Hall of Famer! Knight trumps king, but then he goes after Rey’s mask! Fans boo that, but here comes Santos Escobar! The LWO’s second in command runs off Knight, will Escobar avenge this during the MITB ladder match?
Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman walk the halls.
Ridge Holland almost runs into Solo and tells him where he’s going. But then Solo hits him with a SAMOAN SPIKE!! The Enforcer tells Ridge he’s not in the mood. Heyman calls Roman Reigns, will there be consequences for this attack?
Adam Pearce and Sheamus find Ridge Holland.
Pearce has refs go get Heyman, and Sheamus tells Pearce to give him Solo! Hold on, Pearce will handle it with Heyman. Not good enough for Sheamus. Sheamus heads out, is this going to turn into Fight Night real fast?
Sheamus goes to the stage!
He knows Solo is here, “ya bleedin’ rat!” If Solo wants a fight, Sheamus will give him a fight! Get in the ring tonight and you’re in for the fight of your bleedin’ life! Will the Celtic Warrior make it so Solo can’t even go to MITB?
WWE & NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship Unification: Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler VS Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn!
While everyone else is fighting for the briefcases, the Baddest Women on the Planet and the Unholy Alliance are fighting to be THE team in the Women’s Division! Who walk out of here as the first-ever UNDISPUTED Women’s Tag Team Champions?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and only one team walks away with them all!
Raquel Rodriguez is ringside, still holding a grudge against Ronda & Shayna for what they did to her friend and tag partner, Liv Morgan. The teams sort out and Alba starts against Shayna. They tie up, but Shayna KICKS and CLUBS and SLAPS Fyre around! Fans boo but Shayna taunts Isla. But then Alba hits back! Shayna KICKS, whips, but Alba holds ropes. Alba elbows Shayna, Isla tags in, and Alba puts Shayna in the ropes for Isla to KNEE! Alba then brings Shayna around, and feeds her to the TARANTULA! SUPERKICK! Isla covers, TWO! Shayna scrambles away and Isla taunts her. Ronda has Shayna calm down, and holds out a hand.
Shayna tags Ronda, fans boo but Isla is amused. They tie up but Ronda kicks! Isla still comes back but into a SAYANAGI! And another! And another! Ronda rains down fists, talks trash, but Isla KICKS her in the face! Isla CLUBS Ronda, facelocks, but Ronda powers her back. Alba tags in, Isla feeds Ronda to a trip! Isla even drops with Ronda to taunt her. Alba spins Ronda around to ROCK her with a right! Alba gets in to cover, TWO! Alba drags Ronda up, tags Isla, and they mug Ronda. Another tag, Isla runs to BLAST Shayna and Alba GOURD BUSTERS Ronda! Isla runs in to METEORA! Cover, Shayna breaks it!
Isla ROUNDHOUSES Shayna outta the ring! Alba whips Ronda but Ronda reverses. Ronda runs in, misses in the corner and Alba KICKS the legs out! Raquel likes what she sees as Alba hoists Ronda up in an Electric Chair! But Shayna SHOVES Isla off the corner! Ronda POISON-RANAS!? Fans boo but Ronda slaps her legs into working while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and Ronda has Alba down in a straitjacket leglock combo. Alba endures, fights out and fires off fists! Ronda kicks her away, blocks a kick, and trips Alba to an ANKLE LOCK!

Winners: Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler, by submission (NEW Undisputed WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions)
Fans boo but there’s nothing they can do as Ronda gets the mic to call out “Rrrrraquel!” Where’s Raquel going? She and Louisiana aren’t good at even one language, let alone two, but what is Raquel even doing here at all? Raquel smiles and goes to the ring. Fans cheer as Raquel gets a mic to say, “I am here, because I want a rematch for the titles that we never lost.” We? Who’s that? Shayna remembers she and Ronda tore everyone apart limb by limb. So who is “we?” LIV MORGAN IS BACK! Fans fire up as she goes right to the ring!
Liv joins Raquel as they step in, then step up to Ronda & Shayna. The undisputed champs head out, but will they be undisputed for long? Or will Rodriguez & Morgan once again be #LivingLarge?
SmackDown presents an all new Grayson Waller Effect.
The Dynamite from Down Under, the Aussie Icon, the Moment Maker is already in the ring, and the Cajundome boos. But Waller welcomes us to the hottest talk show in the WWE, and speaking of hot, he is looking for a green card. Waller is the hottest new superstar in all of the WWE, so it is fitting that tonight, his guests are the hottest tag team in the WWE! Welcome Kit Wilson & Elton Prince, Pretty Deadly! #YESBOY~! The new #1 contenders head to the ring, and the Cajundome continues to boo. Waller welcomes them, and says he “rolled out the red carpet,” as it were. Guests like them need more than just standard chairs, he has director chairs for them!
Thanks so much, Grayson. And they wanna let him know that his show is their favorite. So much better than the KO Show! So much! Fans boo but Waller says that is true. To be honest, it is nice to finally have guests with style and good manners. As we all know, Americans don’t have manners. But let’s move on to the two of them. They’ve been on SmackDown maybe two months, and yet so much success already! So much so, that next week on SmackDown from their home country of London, England, they face Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships! That’s wild!
Kit says that’s right! THEIR home! Shoutout to the Royal Family. This is big. They’re not taking it lightly, they’re taking it pretty deadly seriously. This is two men that one the main event of WrestleMania Night 1. But what annoys Pretty Deadly is that the champs aren’t giving them the same level of respect! Elton doesn’t feel like Kevin & Sami are giving Pretty Deadly their flowers. The fans chant “SHUT UP!” and that upsets Elton, but Kit keeps him calm. They do breathing exercises, “Yes boy, yes boy, yes boy.” Elton says the champs came out and were surprised Pretty Deadly were #1 contenders!
Sorry, but what’s so surprising about a team that has won WWE gold before? A team that won titles on their debut? A team that UNIFIED tag team championships before? Elton doesn’t see what is confusing or surprising there. KO & Sami can carry on, see if their giant egos can fit together into one team. But in their case, “Mi brain,” “Su brain.” They’ve been on the same page the last three years, from joining the WWE to today, and will be for the next ten years when they’re running the tag division! Fans boo but Waller does bring up something. This is a very honest show, so he has to say something. HE’S NOT SURPRISED!
HAH! That’s their guy! Waller says they could keep going on about Kevin & Sami, but maybe they should talk last week. Last week, Pretty Deadly were the ironmen of that match! They didn’t beat one team, they didn’t beat two teams, they beat FIVE of the best teams in all of the WWE, in one match and one night. Truly inspiring. Yes, the ironmen of Friday Night SnackDown! They do need to be honest, too. That was a match where they didn’t know if they could continue. They beat five teams! It was grueling! Exhausting! There were times they didn’t think they could go on, but they did through blood, sweat and tears!
With every fiber of their beings, they won that match! The Brawling Brutes are a great team, and they lasted all the way until the end, just like Pretty Deadly. But but but Pretty Deadly beat them! Fans boo but Kit brings up the LWO. Waller says, “Viva la Raza! Whatever that means.” Kit says great shirt, great team, but… Pretty Deadly beat them! The OC, two big, tough guys, a couple of Good Brothers, but… Pretty Deadly beat them! Hit Row, and before it even begun, Pretty Deadly beat them! And of course, the SmackDown Sweet Hearts, The Street Profits- ARE HERE! Fans cheer as Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins have mics.
Ford asks Dawkins if Pretty Deadly said their names. They did. Aren’t Pretty Deadly so cute showing off their chests? But it’s fine, the boys are back, which means Waller gonna have season two. Congrats! But since Pretty Deadly haven’t been properly introduced to the smoke, the Profits are the ones to do so. Cuz the Profits are up, and #WeWantTheSmoke! Ford & Dawkins look to prove Pretty Deadly did nothing, but will they succeed? Or will Kit & Elton be red hot going into their homecoming at MITB?
The Street Profits VS Pretty Deadly!
SmackDown returns and the teams sort out. Ford starts against Kit and Ford mocks the outfit. Kit tosses his hair, but Ford mocks that, too. They tie up, Ford headlocks and hits a takeover. Kit fights around, fights up, but Ford hits another takeover. Ford taunts Elton while grinding Kit on and off. Kit fights up, wrenches out and headlocks back. Ford powers out, RAMS shoulders, but neither man falls. Ford makes the pecs dance, then headlocks. Dawkins tags in as Kit powers out, and Dawkins runs Kit over! Kit goes to a corner, Dawkins storms up and fans fire up. Dawkins brings Kit up but Kit pulls ears! Kit ROCKS Dawkins!
Kit wrenches Dawkins, tags Elton, and they double whip. They run Dawkins over with double shoulders, then say “YES BOY!” They run, and LEG DROP SPLASH COMBO! Cover, ONE!! Dawkins upsets Elton but Elton drags Dawkins up. Elton fires forearms, whips corner to corner, but Dawkins reverses and runs in. Elton BOOTS Dawkins, goes up, and leaps, but into a RIGHT HAND! Tag to Ford, the Profits whip and DROPKICK Elton! DROPKICK for Kit! Elton staggers up, Ford bobs ‘n’ weaves and BACKHANDS! Elton wobbles, Ford mocks him and rips off the shirt! Fans fire up, Elton rushes in, but Dawkins dumps him out!
Ford puts on the top! Ford might be a size too big. He and Dawkins both FLY to take out Pretty Deadly! Fans fire up with the Profits and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and Kit has Ford up top. Ford elbows Kit away but Kit CLUBS Ford! Kit climbs up, CLUBS away on Ford’s neck, then soaks up the heat. Kit stands Ford up, tells him he’s got nothing, and he HEADBUTTS Ford! Kit stands Ford up to SUPER BACK- CROSSBODY! Ford turns it around and both men are down! Both men crawl for their corners and the fan rally, hot tags to Dawkins and Elton! Dawkins rallies on Pretty Deadly! DROPKICK for Elton! Dawkins whips but Elton reverses. Dawkins hurdles to FLYING ELBOW! Dawkins runs corner to corner to CYCLONE SPLASH! ENZIGURI!
Dawkins underhooks, for the SILENCER! Cover, TWO! Dawkins keeps focus, brings Elton back up, and scoops him. Ford tags in but Elton fights free. Dawkins runs back in, POUNCE PLEX COMBO! Cover, Kit breaks it! But then Dawkins POUNCES Kit! Elton and Ford rise, and Ford reels Elton in! ROCK BOTTOM!! Ford flexes and fans fire up! Tag to Dawkins, he goes after Elton as Ford climbs. Dawkins Electric Chair Lifts but Kit SHOVES Ford! Elton slips off, rolls Dawkins up, feet on the ropes with Kit’s help! Pretty Deadly wins!
Winners: Pretty Deadly, by pinfall
The Dandy Highwaymen just stole another big win! They’re inflating their stats and their egos, but will Kit & Elton be popped by Kevin & Sami?
Charlotte Flair VS Lacey Evans!
The Queen is preparing for the Empress of Tomorrow, so she gets back in action in the Cajundome! But will she be overlooking the Model Soldier here tonight? Or will the Figure Eight beat the Cobra Clutch?
SmackDown returns and Lacey makes her entrance. The bell rings and fans “WOO~!” Charlotte and Lacey circle, tie up, and Charlotte headlocks. Lacey pulls hair, powers out, but Charlotte runs her over! Fans “WOO~” again and Charlotte dusts herself off. Things speed up but then Charlotte steps on Lacey. And then BOOTS her down! Charlotte eggs Lacey on, CHOPS her, and CHOPS her again! And CHOPS again! Lacey wobbles around as the CHOPS keep going! “One more?” CHOP! Charlotte brings Lacey around, scoops her, but Lacey slips free! Lacey RAMS Charlotte into a corner, then throws her by her hair!
Fans boo but Lacey soaks it up. She tells the fans to respect and salute her, but the fans keep booing. Lacey MOONSAULTS, but has to land on her feet as Charlotte moves! Lacey runs back in, but into a BACKBREAKER and BUCKLE SHOT! Charlotte slaps Lacey around, then brings her out and she asks the fans to salute her. Fans cheer and salute, and Charlotte scoops for a FALL AWAY SLAM! And then Charlotte tranquilos! Shout out to her El Idolo! Charlotte then aims, runs in, and BOOTS Lacey back down! And then she has a leg, brings Lacey around and steps through, FIGURE FOUR! Then FIGURE EIGHT! Lacey taps, Charlotte wins!
Winner: Charlotte Flair, by submission
Charlotte holds on to make Lacey pay, but Asuka slides in! SLIDING KICK!! Asuka dances around, throws her shoes at Charlotte, then rains down fists! Fans boo but Charlotte can only guard as Asuka fires off from all sides! Asuka mockingly salutes, then holds up the new WWE Women’s Championship. Asuka leaves Charlotte behind, laughing all the way. Charlotte may have beaten Asuka in the past, but will she not be ready for this Asuka?
Adam Pearce is on the phone.
Yes, he’s waiting for her to arrive right now. And here she is. Bianca Belair steps in and says he wanted to talk. Yes, he is thinking about the title match of Asuka VS Charlotte next week, and it brought him back to what she said. Yes, she said what she said about being ringside. Well, what happens if Asuka or Charlotte try to take a shot at her? What if they provoke her? Uh, those two should be focused on each other. Bianca just wants to be ringside so she makes sure no one else cuts the line. But if they come for her, she’ll defend herself. As she should. And that’s the problem.
He knows she’s not gonna like this, but there’s just too much at stake. He is barring Bianca from ringside. Trust him on this! She will have her opportunity the moment that match is done to challenge the winner face to face. Oh, like last time? She should trust him like she did then? Pearce sighs, Bianca leaves, but what can either of them do about the title match next week in London?
Solo Sikoa w/ Paul Heyman VS Sheamus!
The Enforcer lashed out on Ridge Da Fridge, and now the Celtic Warrior is coming for revenge! SmackDown is Fight Night after all, but who survives this close to the Bloodline Civil War?
SmackDown returns and Sheamus makes his entrance. The bell rings and fans rally up as the two circle. They tie up and throw hands! Fans fire up as Sheamus bumps Solo off buckles, then body shots and uppercuts! Sheamus throws more hands in another corner, and he fires the fans up. But then Solo UPPERCUTS in return! Solo fires off his own heavy hands, lets off as the ref counts, and Sheamus mule kicks! Sheamus UPPERCUTS, whips, but Solo reverses. Sheamus KNEES Solo, runs, but Solo avoids the Brogue! Solo bails out and fans boo but Sheamus paces. Sheamus goes out the side, storms up on Solo, and CLOBBERS him!
Fans fire up with Sheamus and he brings Solo around. Sheamus stomps Solo’s right hand! Sheamus puts Solo in the ring, but Solo stomps Sheamus in return. Solo drags Sheamus up, puts him in a corner and ROCKS him in the back with a forearm! And another! Solo RAMS into Sheamus’ back, and again, and again! The ref counts, Solo lets off and Heyman has an evil smile. But then Sheamus throws elbows and uppercuts! Solo and Sheamus trade haymakers, Sheamus gets the edge and whips corner to corner. Solo reverses, runs in, but Sheamus BOOTS him down! Sheamus then skins the cat to the top rope!
Fans fire up and Sheamus leaps, FLYING LARIAT! Cover, ONE!! Solo is hanging tough but Sheamus keeps cool. Sheamus stalks Solo to ropes, but Solo blocks the buckle bump to throw body shots! Solo CHOPS, ROCKS and CHOPS Sheamus again. Fans rally for Sheamus, Sheamus eggs Solo on, but Solo fires off fast hands high and low! The ref counts, Solo lets off and stalks Sheamus to another corner. Sheamus elbows Solo! And kicks low! Sheamus whips, Solo reverses, but Sheamus blocks hip toss to LARIAT! Fans fire up and Sheamus grins at Heyman. Solo goes to the apron, and Sheamus grabs him!
Sheamus has Solo stuck on the ropes but Solo resists. Solo elbows Sheamus, and again, and again! Sheamus staggers away, but comes back to KNEE Solo in the ropes! Sheamus goes out to join Solo, fireman’s carries, and then tucks Solo in, but Solo fights free! Solo POSTS Sheamus, then trips him up! Sheamus lands hard on the apron, and Solo fireman’s carries, to SAMOAN DROP to the floor! Solo seethes and Heyman smiles while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and both men are down in the ring. Solo rises and shakes his head. Fans rally for Sheamus, but there are chants of “SO~LO!” Solo watches Sheamus go to a corner, mocks the pounding of the chest, and he runs corner to corner, but into a LARIAT! Fans fire up again as both men are back down! Heyman is shocked, and Sheamus rises again. Fans rally up and Sheamus crawls after Solo. Solo stands, throws a haymaker, and then another. Sheamus staggers around, Solo throws another shot! And another! Sheamus throws them back! Fans fire up as Sheamus backs Solo up!
Sheamus whips, Solo reverses but Sheamus comes back with another LARIAT! And then a clothesline in the corner, a whip corner to corner, and another clothesline! Sheamus scoops Solo to POWERSLAM! Fans fire up while Sheamus grits his teeth. Sheamus hobbles up, clinches Solo, and hits an IRISH CURSE BACKBREAKER! Solo goes to the apron and the fans fire up. Sheamus glares at Solo, and gives a look to Heyman. Heyman scowls and Sheamus goes to the ropes. Fans fire up for BEATS OF THE BODHRAIN! A bit slower temp, but much harder hits! Sheamus then speeds up and goes to TEN!
Fans fire up while Heyman frowns. Sheamus aims from a corner and the fans echo “BROGUE! BROGUE! BROGUE!” as Sheamus pounds his cheat. Sheamus runs, into a SUPERKICK! But he comes back with a KNEE!!

Fans boo while Sheamus flops and flounders on the floor! Solo drags Sheamus to the barriers, sits him up against them, and then goes to the far side. The ref tells him no, but Solo runs in to HIP ATTACKÂ through the BARRIERS!! The ref hurries to check both men, and Solo stands up. Fans lose their minds, and the ref waves this off! Solo wins!!
Winner: Solo Sikoa, by referee stoppage
The Enforcer of the Island just wrecked the Celtic Warrior! Medics rush over, as does Adam Pearce. But then Solo shoves the medics aside, SAMOAN SPIKES one, and Pearce tells him to stop! Solo doesn’t listen, he drags Sheamus from the wreckage! But here come the Usos! The fans fire up as the Usos grin at Solo, and the three brothers rush in! The 2v1 brawl is on, SUPERKICK! SUPERKICK! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Jimmy & Jey knock down their little brother and Heyman is shocked again! But then the Usos spot Heyman and walk up to him. Heyman backs away, wanting mercy, but Solo gets back up. DOUBLE SUPERKICKS again!!
The fans fire up with Jimmy & Jey, because they’re not done! They each take a corner, for the DOUBLE UCE!! Solo suffers for the sins of the Tribal Chief, but Heyman puts in a call. Will the Head of the Table have a response on the last SmackDown before Money in the Bank?
My Thoughts:
A really good episode for SmackDown, especially since it was like an early go-home given next week’s episode will be in London as like a preshow to MITB. But speaking of all that, a disappointing note was that there were some last minute changes that removed one MITB build match to put in another. I get Charlotte needed a tune-up that would also give Asuka an opening to attack, but not planning ahead to have that already on the card seems like an oversight. And removing Bayley VS Shotzi with the MITB spot on the line seems rather lame. But of course, the WWE only gives reasons for changes if they want to.
Bianca and Pearce had a good promo to make a point of a ringside ban so Bianca won’t affect Charlotte VS Asuka. But it also feels like they could’ve put this on next week before having Charlotte VS Asuka happen. Good women’s tag title match, but of course Ronda & Shayna win. I do like that Liv is back so she and Raquel can start a feud with Ronda & Shayna for the Summer. I would think this leads to a match at SummerSlam, since they’ll only need a month to build after MITB. At the same time, I would hope Ronda & Shayna visit all brands, including NXT, to be what the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions were supposed to be when these belts were created.
Really good Grayson Waller Effect with Pretty Deadly, and I actually appreciate Pretty Deadly perpetuating the revisionist history of them toughing out the gauntlet match. Great tag match from them and Street Profits, and that win gives Pretty Deadly the momentum going into the tag title match, which I’m sure they will lose despite being in their hometown. Kevin & Sami have plenty of teams still to face, and as big as SmackDown in London will be, free TV is not where the undisputed tag titles are changing hands. As for Street Profits, who knows where they go from here. Is it time for friendly break-up so Montez Ford can be US Champion?
Another disappointing change was having no Triple Threat of Dunne VS Escobar VS Knight, but Rey VS Knight was still a great match. Of course Knight wins to build momentum, but it’s still anyone’s guess as to his chances in the ladder match. And I didn’t see Dunne anywhere at all tonight, so it seems that might’ve factored into the change. Solo going after Ridge was an interesting move, but it did set up a great main event. A referee stoppage was a clever move, and then of course the Usos go after Solo. The Usos had a great promo, too, but who knows how MITB’s Bloodline Civil War match goes. I’m still hoping the Usos get through to Solo and he breaks away from Roman, but maybe they stretch that part of the story to SummerSlam.
My Score: 8.7/10

Hangman Page is here!
Mexico City fires up for the Blackhat Cowboy as he makes his way into Arena Mexico for the first time! Hangman has a mic to say, “Hola! Mi nombre es Hangman.” And he asks they excuse his Espanol, it isn’t the best. But Hangman knows that like most White people, he’ll do his best. His familia used to grow tobacco, and they were hard workers. And they had employees who were hard workers, from right here in Mexico City. Those men were also like family! He is thankful that the people of Mexico have invited AEW into their home tonight! The fans cheer, and Hangman thanks them for the collaboration of AEW & CMLL. This is the best pro-wrestling in the world!
Hangman continues by saying that he also wants to make it known about AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley, that while Hangman is not wrestling tonight, and that he is not allowed ringside later tonight for the main event… He will find Moxley after! And Excalibur apologizes, the last part definitely can’t be translated for the sake of the broadcast. The fans still cheer Hangman on, they wanna see that #CowboyS*it. Hangman adds that once again, he is thankful for letting them be here in Arena Mexico. Now, let the action begin! The fans cheer as Hangman heads out, will The Cowboy get his hands on The Maniac before the night is over?
14 Man Tag: Hechicero, Volador Jr, Dax Harwood & The Don Callis Family VS Adam Cole, Brody King, Daniel Garcia, Bandido, Templario, Atlantis Sr. & Atlantis Jr!
Well, they always say, “Card subject to change.” Cash Wheeler is not able to make it, but Lance Archer and “The Predator,” Volador Jr, take his place! Then on the other side, the OG Atlantis jumps in! Will things only end up crazier to start off Grand Slam?
As Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway make their way out, #BigStoke has a mic and he has them cut the music. Stokely has some good news and some bad news. Bad news: Due to circumstances beyond his control, Cash Wheeler cannot be here tonight. That’s the bad news. The good news is, one half of FTR is here tonight in the great Dax the Ax! And hey, Stokely has been working on his Espanol all day. “Grassy ass, thank you!” Still messed it up… But with that, the rest of Team Rudo make their way out, starting with Volador, followed by the Don Callis y Hechicero.
On the other side, ROH World Champion Bandido leads the way for his team, followed by Templario and the Atlantis father and son. Then Brody King and Daniel Garcia follow, saving TNT Champion, Adam Cole, for last! The fans join in for the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” These massive teams sort out, and Bandido steps up against the Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita. The fans fire up behind the Most Wanted while he and Konosuke circle. They approach, Konosuke trips Bandido and things speed up. Bandido stays low, then hurdles, but Konosuke leaps over.

The ref counts again, Briscoe stops at 4, and he whips corner to corner. Okada reverses but Briscoe goes up and out.

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

Mistico goes up, up, and he tightrope walks to FLYING ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Mistico then hits a CODE RED! Cover, TWO! MJF bails out but Mistico builds speed! Mistico handsprings to fake MJF out! MJF thinks he’s smooth for running away, but then MVP tells him to focus on Mistico, not on the fans. MJF says he knows, and he eggs on Mistico. Mistico runs out there to chase MJF, but then the Hurt Syndicate stands in the way!
The fans boo, Mistico wags his finger, and he tells them to part. MJF runs up to ROCK Mistico first! The fans boo but MJF high-fives his guys. MJF says, “Easy! Too easy!” MJF puts Mistico in the ring, smirks while the fans call him more names. MJF swivels his hips, then runs up, but Mistico dodges the knee drop! Mistico runs up to RANA! The fans fire up and Mistico has MJF in a corner. MJF wants mercy, but Mistico says nope! Mistico runs up, but MJF YANKS him into buckles! MJF stomps away on Mistico, then goes to the other end to stand on the corner. MJF soaks up heat as he does the Pledge of Allegiance!
The fans boo, and MVP again reprimands MJF, he needs to be about business, not about trolling! MJF goes back to Mistico, drags him up, and he brings Mistico around, but Mistico JAWBREAKERS! Mistico runs, hops on, but MJF stops Code Red to reel Mistico in! POWER BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Mistico survives, MVP says this is still fine, and Grand Slam goes picture in picture. MJF sits Mistico up, and he pulls at the mask! MJF’s lucky this is an AEW based event, CMLL rules say this is tantamount to a disqualification! MJF rips at the eyehole, then clamps on a chinlock. MJF grinds Mistico down but Mistico endures.
Mistico fights while the fans tell MJF off again. Mistico rises up, fires body shots, then runs to ROCK MJF! Mistico fires forearms but MJF throat chops! MJF TOSSES Mistico out, distracts the ref, and the Hurt Syndicate attacks! BARRIER BACKBREAKER from Shelton! Shelton shoves Mistico back into the ring, MJF covers, TWO! Mistico is still in this but the ref is a bit suspicious of the Hurt Syndicate. MVP defends their innocence, and MJF puts Mistico on ropes. MJF CHOKES Mistico, the ref counts, and MJF stops at 4. This lets Lashley CHOKE Mistico and throw hands! The Hurt syndicate gets away with more, and MJF covers, TWO!
MVP tells fans to callete, they saw nothing! MJF stalks Mistico, stomps him on the foot, then has him on the ropes. MJF stomps him more, then soaks up heat. MJF drags Mistico up, scoops and carries him, then SLAMS him down! MJF huffs ‘n’ puffs while Grand Slam returns to single picture. MJF sits Mistico back up, runs the ropes, and then just steps up to pelvic thrust! The fans boo and Mistico is pissed now! MVP says no more trolling, MJF, he’s already told him that! MJF ROCKS Mistico, but Mistico eggs him on! MJF ROCKS Mistico, CLUBS him again and again, but then Mistico blocks to fire off forearms! And KICKS, SOBATS and KICKS!
The fans fire up with Mistico, but MJF BITES Mistico’s mask! MJF whips, Mistico reverses, then he ducks ‘n’ dodges to handspring and BACK ELBOW! The fans fire up and Mistico aims from a corner. But MJF runs up! Mistico dodges, runs back in, but MJF puts him on the apron. Mistico GAMANGIRIS! The fans fire up, Mistico springboards, CROSSBODY!

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

MJF covers his ears to block out the chants for Mistico, but then he drags Mistico to a corner. MJF calls his shot, goes up the corner, but Mistico springs up! GAMANGIRI! GAMANGIRI! And GAMANGIRI!!

The fans are electric as Mistico survives! “ESTA LUCHA!” as MJF and the ref argue now. MJF then runs up to LOW BLOW Mistico!??!
Winner: Mistico, by disqualification
Typical MJF throws a tantrum with that blatant breaking of the rules! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but then MJF SHOVES the ref down! That’ll be a fine, but MJF just rains down fists on Mistico! Lashley & Shelton join in! The fans boo as the Hurt Syndicate mugs Mistico! Then MJF threatens to do it! He grins, and he grabs Mistico’s mask! MJF SNATCHES it away!! The fans are furious as MJF holds up his trophy, and then puts it on! MJF flips everyone off while wearing Mistico’s mask, but here come Bandido, Templario y Titan!

The fans fire up as Hurt Syndicate turns around, DOUBLE MISSILE DROPKICKS from #JetSpeed! MJF freaks out, and he gets DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for it! The Hurt Syndicate hurries away, Bailey gets Mistico his spare mask while MJF retreats wearing the real one. Mistico still won this match, but will he and his amigos make sure to get some payback?
4 Million Pesos Fatal 4 Way: Ricochet VS Mascara Dorada VS Holo.grm VS Lio Rush!
The One & Only is still looking for someone, anyone, to be worthy of following him on his journey to gold. Maybe having an extra $210K will help that? Or will someone else cash in big with a Grand Slam?
The bell rings and the four watch each other. Ricochet tries to bond with Bryce Remsburg over being bald but Bryce isn’t having it. Ricochet and the others all approach center, but then Lio says forget this. Lio goes to a corner to soak up heat, and Ricochet talks it over with the luchadores. They all step up and Lio sees he is surrounded. Lio says hold on, let’s take it easy. But then Ricochet sucker punches Dorada! Ricochet stomps away on Dorada, Lio DECKS Hologram and stomps him, too! The fans boo but Ricochet and Lio soak up the heat. They shake hands and trade luchadores. Then they coordinate, and they run corner to corner to trade again, LARIATS in the corners!
Lio then feeds Hologram to Ricochet for another LARIAT! Lio runs in and LARIATS Dorada! Feed to Ricochet’s LARIAT! The fans boo but Ricochet & Lio soak it up. Ricochet & Lio get the luchadores up and out of the ring, then they mock the fans clapping. Ricochet & Lio both build speed, but the luchadores are back! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Dorada sets up, Hologram runs, and Dorada pops Hologram up for an ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! Lio is sent away, Hologram dodges Ricochet and Dorada SUPERKICKS Now Hologram returns the favor so that Dorada can ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG Ricochet!
The fans fire up as Ricochet tumbles into Lio at the corner. Dorada runs and rolls off Hologram’s back so Hologram can SPLASH both Ricochet & Lio! Then Dorada runs in for a CYCLONE SPLASH! Then Dorada gives Hologram a boost so he can DOUBLE DROPKICK Ricochet & Lio outta the ring! That leaves Hologram and Dorada to square off.

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

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

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