It’s the Money in the Bank Kickoff Show!

Join Jackie Redmond, Matt Camp and Peter Rosenberg in discussing, analyzing and predicting all the action happening across the pond.

 

Kayla Brackston is backstage.

Kayla is outside Roman Reigns’ locker room, hoping to get a word with the Tribal Chief. Granted, he isn’t the one who answers the door, but tonight being Money in the Bank, anything can happen. Kayla knocks, but of course, it is the Wise Man who answers. Kayla asks Paul Heyman that of all the years they’ve worked together, she’s never seen him so stressed. Is the Bloodline Civil War- Heyman looks up and she stops there. Heyman says, “I’ve never seen him like this.” Heyman has tears in his eyes as he says he made a suggestion for a game plan to Roman and Roman says he will throw Solo the scraps. And even Heyman will get a scrap of the Usos’ carcasses.

Heyman has been in this business 40 years, has known the Usos since they were 4 years old. Heyman knows what they’re all capable of. Tonight, we will not see the Tribal Chief, the Head of the Table. Tonight, we see a warrior who was trained by the Wild Samoans themselves. It’s not gonna be enough for Roman to prove that the Usos are not the greatest team in history. He will wipe them off the face of the WWE, expunge their names from the history books… And the next family role call, they will not be welcomed. The beating Roman vows to put on the Usos will violate the terms of “sports entertainment.”

There won’t be any fun to be had to watch this. Heyman apologizes to the world for what they’re about to see. It will be smashed, stacked, pinned, and shipped out of the WWE… permanently. And there’s nothing Heyman can do to stop it. Heyman returns into the private suite, is this Civil War about to be more than just a title?

 

MITB Productions presents:

“London. Good to see you again, old friend. It’s been quite some time, hasn’t it? Well, things are about to get really interesting. You see, this is a high stakes, high risk, high reward situation we have here. And as they say, time is money. So, I suppose we ought to get to it.” Opportunity is the mission. But there are many eyes on the prize. The Judgment Day is approaching, and a battle for the future of a Bloodline is upon us. Who’s in? Who’s out? And who’s prepared to be shaken and stirred? This is MITB in the UK.

The Punisher heads out, will he take his shot here tonight?

 

WWE Intercontinental Championship: GUNTHER VS Matt Riddle!

JOHN CENA is here?!

London goes nuts over this surprise appearance! The sixteen time world champion shows off the G.I. Joe inspired gear and he slides into the ring. Cena gets the mic, and says, “Surprise! I think I’m the one that’s surprised. Cuz I’m used to hearing you sing ‘John Cena Sucks.’ You flipped it around, you were like, ‘My time is now!'” Cena wants us to look around. Did they know that this is the first Premium Live Event in London in over 20 YEARS! He feels the energy, hears the noise, and asks himself, “What the hell took us so long to spend some time in London?” Fans cheer that, and then chant for “CENA! CENA!”

Then it hit Cena. It isn’t up to him, but it is up to the decision makers. Fans boo those decision makers. Cena says those guys don’t know how to feel about London. Fans boo again but Cena says this isn’t anything we don’t know. The managers think this is a “hostile environment.” That sometimes the fans are a distraction. And that the fans even try to take over the shows. Fans cheer that! See that? The managers don’t know what they’re talking about! The fans are the voice and the heartbeat of the show. They aren’t taking over the show, they ARE the show! Fans cheer that, too!

Cena goes back to why he is here. Fans chant “WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK!” Cena says he is here on behalf of them. He knows the world is watching, and he wants the world to know that the London fans are underappreciated. He is here to say that he is big on respect. And he is here because all these fans, over these 20 years, have earned his respect. They chant “THANK YOU, CENA!” Cena says another thing the managers don’t get it is that superstars allow the fans to speak up. But how much fun does that make a night like this? Fans cheer, chant, and they care. In Cena’s mind, there is not a more exciting audience than in the UK.

So Cena is here to advocate WrestleMania in London. The fans go wild! Cena says that struck a nerve. He isn’t here for #OneMoreMatch, but that when people hear the trumpets, it means something. He wants to give the audience, to show the world and the decision makers what we already know. Take a moment right now, let ’em see, let ’em feel, let ’em hear what Mania London would sound like! The fans go wild again, but wait. Here comes Grayson Waller. Waller says, “Wow. John Cena. It’s an honor, mate.” The fans chant “Who are ya?” Waller would introduce himself, but everyone knows the Aussie Icon!

So Waller hopes Cena doesn’t mind him interrupting. Waller has respect for Cena, and loves everything about him. Jorts are awesome! Waller is a man of style. The movies? Fans tell Waller to shut up, but Waller wants Cena to know he’s a fan of the movies. Cena’s performance in Fast 9 moved him. Waller says what he loves most is the whole Hustle, Loyalty, Respect. Which is why it saddens Waller to see him out here like this. He’s here for these people? And WrestleMania: London? You gotta be kidding, lad! We all know this is a hole. The people cheer who they’re supposed to dislike, hate the people they’re supposed to like, it’s all “cutting edge~!”

Nevermind the fact that it’s the Summer, the last few days have been cold and rainy. If Mania is going overseas, it should be somewhere beautiful. Good weather, nice beaches, good looking girls in swimsuits. If Mania goes international, it should be… in Australia! Aw, he thought Brits had manners. But Waller can see it now: Mania Australia! “AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!” Fans boo. Waller says don’t stress, h e thinks he could get Cena a spot on that show. He knows things haven’t been going so well for Cena. Last we saw Cena, he lost to Austin Theory. And before that was Roman Reigns. and uh, The Fiend at another WrestleMania. That was meta.

But the people here are simple. They only remember the last thing they saw. Fans cheer Cena and tell Waller to shut up. Oh, this is supposed to be classy England? Well all Cena needs is a viral moment, and Waller knows viral moments. Let Waller be Superman now. Cena’s helped so many and done so much, let Waller help Cena help himself save his career. Think about it! The biggest Grayson Waller Effect of all time! With John Cena as the guest! At WrestleMania Australia! Fans boo all of that. Waller isn’t asking the fans, he’s asking Cena. That’d be the Waller rub for Cena. Fans say “NO! NO! NO!”

Cena says no Mania London, and then go to Australia, to get a “rub” from Waller? Uh, yeah. Cena will pass. But wait, hold on! Waller stands in Cena’s way and says no one says no to him. Say again? No one says no to Grayson Waller. How about him hanging out with his friends? Cuz Cena and his friends were saying Mania should be in London! Waller DECKS Cena! And CLUBS away on him! Fans boo even harder now as Waller JABS Cena! Waller throws off his shirt, shows off the drop step, but Cena fireman’s carries! ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT! Waller bails out and Cena says you can’t see him. So will we get WrestleMania 41 in London?

 

Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Becky Lynch VS Trish Stratus VS Zoey Stark VS Bayley VS Iyo Sky VS Zelina Vega!

The Man doesn’t want to say #ThankYouTrish, she wants vengeance on Trish and her new protégé. But there’s also the Role Model, the Evil Genius and La Muneca to worry about if she wants to finally check off the briefcase on her Big Time Bingo card. Will Becky pull off a huge comeback for the summer? Or will another snipe this opportunity and aim for the top?

Iyo jumps up, kicks Stark into Trish, and then goes up the ropes!

WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Seth Rollins VS Finn Balor!

Seven years, this has been stewing in the background. Seven years, one man got better while the other got bitter. That bitterness has become a poison, and the Prince is the snake that’s spitting it. Will he bring down the Visionary not just to become champion, but to avenge the past? Or will nothing stop Seth Freakin’ Rollins from being the workhorse of the WWE?

Fans of course sing “WHOA~ OHH~ OHHHH~!” for Rollins as he makes his entrance. Rollins revels in it for a good dozen rounds, and then steps into the ring. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly better after these seven long years!

The bell rings and the two stare down. The fans fire up, sing Rollins’ song, and that makes Rollins smile and Finn frown. They rush in, Rollins TACKLES Finn and rains down fists! Finn turns it around to throw hands, but Rollins turns it back around! Finn kicks Rollins away, then kicks those bad ribs! Finn CLUBS Rollins again and again and throws shots on those ribs, only for Rollins to RAM him into a corner! Rollins DUMPS Finn out, then builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit into the desk!

Rollins avoids the double stomps! Roll up, but Finn avoids THE stomp.

Rollins kicks low, underhooks, but Finn trips Rollins to DOUBLE STOMP! Fans fire up while Rollins goes to ropes. Finn stomps Rollins more, and springboard stomps! The ref counts, Finn lets off, and he stalks Rollins to ropes. Finn fires off more body shots, then drop toeholds so he can hammer Rollins on the back. Finn clamps on a chinlock and he stretches Rollins, to then drop an elbow! Cover, ONE!! Finn snarls, he stands Rollins up but Rollins CHOPS and fires forearms! Finn clinches, knees low, and bumps Rollins off buckles! Rollins falls back, fans rally, and Finn throws body shots into Rollins.

Rollins bails out, fans sing for him, but Finn goes out to drag him around. Finn KICKS Rollins against the desk! And again! And again! The ref reprimands, the ring count starts, but Finn soaks up the heat. Finn puts Rollins in and then hurries after him. Finn RAMS Rollins into a corner, and again, and again, and again! Finn throws more body shots on Rollins’ ribs, then whips him corner to corner. Finn runs in to RAM Rollins again!

Finn whips back the other way, but Rollins BOOTS Finn! Rollins DISCUS LARIATS! Fans fire up while both men are down! Rollins and Finn rise, the fans sing for Rollins again, and Finn storms up. Finn fires forearms but so does Rollins. They go back and forth, they trade body shots and now uppercuts! Rollins ROCKS Finn over and over and over and fans fire up! Rollins knees Finn low, then gives him Kawada Kicks! Finn wobbles, Rollins reels him in, BACKBREAKER! Rollins runs to KNEE Finn down! Fans fire up as both men are on the mat again.

WAIT! HERE COMES PRIEST!! Will he use it now?! Or is he just teasing? Rollins watches Priest closely, fans want him to “CASH IT IN! CASH IT IN!” But Finn rolls Rollins up! TWO!! SUPERKICK from Rollins! Both men fall, and Finn flops out of the ring. Rollins watches Priest and asks if he’s gonna do it. Fans still want it, but Priest just stands by the timekeeper’s area. Priest takes a seat to keep Rollins distracted. Finn SHOTGUNS Rollins into barriers! And RAMS him into the corner of the desk! And then climbs up to COUP DE GRACE to the floor!! Just like a few weeks ago on Raw!

Fans are thunderous as Finn goes up the steel steps to COUP DE GRACE again!!! Finn puts Rollins in, takes aim, SHOTGUN!! Rollins hits buckles, ends up in the drop zone, and Finn climbs up! But Priest stands up!? Now Finn is distracted. COUP DE- NO, Rollins dodges! CURB STOMP!!! Cover, Rollins wins!!

Winner: Seth Rollins, by pinfall (still WWE World Heavyweight Champion)

The Punisher seems to show no remorse for costing Finn, but why did he do it at all? Will he still go for it tonight? Rollins is watching, but Priest stands still. Finn argues with Priest over what just happened, is Finn’s bitterness only going to get worse now?

 

Kayla Braxton interviews Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn.

The Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions are in the VIP skybox and are enjoying the show. Could Kayla get a quick word from them? Fans cheer seeing Kevin & Sami, and she congratulates them for the win last night on SmackDown. Kevin says it has been great being here in London. Big things have been happening, such as their title defense, and everything tonight in MITB. And the crowd has been electric to say the least. Yes, and there is one more match left to go. These two are surely watching closely as the Bloodline Civil War is here. Sami says yeah, it is a match that has been personal for him, one he’s been waiting to see for a long time.

Fans chant for Sami, and he says that tonight is the night Roman gets exactly what’s coming to him! Fans like the sound of that! Will Sami be proven right as we see Tribal Chief and Enforcer of the Island take on their own family?

 

Bloodline Civil War: Roman Reigns & Solo Sikoa w/ Paul Heyman VS The Usos!

These last three years, the Tribal Chief and his cousins have gone from fighting each other to fighting together to dominate the WWE. But Roman’s ego, his anger, and his paranoia have pushed things too far, and now Jimmy & Jey are taking a stand. Will they win, even if it means taking down their own blood? Or will Roman prove he is the ONLY one worthy of being Head of the Table?

Roman of course has the pyro when he raises his finger, and then he, Solo and The Wise Man continue to the ring. Then Roman holds up the Undisputed Universal Championship belt for more pyro. The introductions are made, the stakes are raised, and we see who really runs things.

Jey says it’s go time, Uce! The ref wants this to settle down to 1v1, the teams sort out and fans chant “F YOU, ROMAN!” Roman is upset by this, but he tells Solo to handle this. Solo starts against Jimmy, the bell rings, and fans fire up. Jimmy stares down with Solo, fans rally for the Usos and even sing for “OH~ SOLO SIKOA~”, and that all upsets Roman more than the other chant. Jimmy and Solo circle, tie up, and Solo shoves Jimmy away! Solo glares at Jey but Jimmy shrugs it off. Jimmy goes over to Jey and they talk strategy. Jimmy and Solo reset, Jimmy grins at Roman over the chants, and he ties up with Solo again.

Solo scoops to SLAM Jimmy, and he roars! Jimmy scrambles away and fans boo. Roman soaks up the heat while Solo dares his brothers to come back and bring it. Jimmy and Jey talk strategy again, and Jimmy circles with Solo again. They approach again, Jimmy gets around and CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! But Solo ROCKS Jimmy, CLUBS him, then CHOPS him! Solo whips, Jimmy reverses but Solo holds ropes. Solo BOOTS back, but Jey ENZIGURIS! Jimmy UPPERCUTS Solo, tags Jey, and Jimmy RAMS Solo to a corner for Jey to forearm smash! Solo staggers away, and fans rally for “UCE! SO! UCE! SO!”

Jey eggs Solo on, but then Roman shouts, “SOLO! NO!” Jey says listen to “Daddy,” but fans sing “OH~ Roman’s a Wanker!” Roman demands a tag, Solo is conflicted, and then Solo stares Roman down. Solo tags Roman in, and fans boo. Roman smirks as he and Jey circle. Jey throws off the armbands and even takes off the shirt, he’s getting serious now! Fans fire up as Jey and Roman circle. Fans rally behind “JEY! JEY! JEY!” and that angers Roman. They tie up, go around, and Roman headlocks. Roman mocks Day One, but Jey powers up and out. Roman runs Jey over, and he says, “The ONLY One! You understand?!”

Roman pie faces Jimmy but the ref keeps Jimmy back. Jey kicks Roman, throws hands, and backs Roman down. Jey whips, Roman reverses and ELBOWS Jey down! Roman says Jey’s got nothing. Roman threatens Jimmy and even the ref to back off, and Roman throws hands. Fans taunt Roman with  more singing, but Roman bends Jey against ropes. The ref counts, Roman lets off, and Roman brings Jey around to HEADBUTT! Jey flops to the apron, but then back into the ring. Roman soaks up the heat, says this is too easy, and he brings Jey up. Roman whips, Jey holds ropes, and Jey ELBOWS back!

Jimmy tags in, and Roman bails out before the superkicks! Roman takes a breather but the fans boo. The fans chant “TRIBAL WANKER!” Solo reinforces Roman. Heyman asks if Roman wants his sons sitting at the Usos’ table. That’s what they’re trying to take from Roman! Roman is Head of the Table! Roman is now motivated, Jey tags back in. They circle again as fans keep chanting and taunting. Jey and Roman tie up, Roman clinches to put Jey in the corner and he fires off haymakers! The ref counts, Roman tells him not to touch him. Roman cools off, goes back to Jey, and ROCKS him! Jey UPPERCUTS back!

Jey puts Roman in the corner to rain down fists! Fans count as Jey goes to seven, but Solo runs in! Jey DECKS Solo, but Roman UPPERCUTS Jey! Jey flounders and fans boo but Roman tells the fans to shush. Roman stomps Jey at the ropes again and again, lets off as the ref counts but threatens the ref. Solo CHOKES Jey behind the ref’s back! Fans continue to taunt Roman, but Roman tags Solo in. Solo waits on Jey to get up, and he HEADBUTTS Jey down! And again! And again! Solo taunts Jey, then clamps on a claw! Jey endures as Solo digs his fingers into the shoulder, and the fans continue to rally with song.

Jey fights up, throws body shots, and JAWBREAKERS back! Hot tag to Jimmy and he baits Solo in. Solo runs into buckles, then DOUBLE GAMANGIRI! Jimmy goes up, Solo ducks the jump, Jimmy keeps moving but Solo CLOBBERS him! The ref checks Jimmy as Solo looms over him. Roman says Solo’s win is his win, but Jimmy stirs. Jimmy is somehow still in this, so Solo paces. Fans sing, “If you hate Roman, stand up!” and everyone stands up! Roman is upset again, tells everyone to sit down, but Solo stalks Jimmy to a corner. Roman sits down, because he doesn’t hate himself.

Roman tells Heyman this is the dumbest place, the fans are all idiots. Solo rains down fists on Jimmy, the ref has him back off, but Solo goes back in for more! Fans then change it to “If you hate Roman, sit down!” The fans all sit back down, so Roman stands up. Roman tells Solo to end this, and Solo goes to the corner. Solo runs corner to corner, to HIP ATTACK! Solo roars and fans boo but Roman grins. Solo looms over Jimmy as he crawls, and Jimmy drags himself up. Solo HEADBUTTS Jimmy back down! Jimmy ends up on ropes, and Solo CHOKES him! The ref counts, Solo lets off at 4, and Solo tags Roman.

Roman goes around the way, soaks up the heat, and runs in to DRIVE-BY DROPKICK! Jimmy falls over and Roman soaks up more heat. Roman goes in, covers, TWO! Roman is annoyed by that but he looms over Jimmy. Fans go back to “F YOU, ROMAN!” and “TRIBAL WANKER!” but Roman stomps Jimmy around. Jimmy goes to a corner, and Roman stands him up for the point-blank LARIATS! Roman lets off to run, and he BOOTS Jimmy down! Cover, TWO! Tag to Solo, he storms up on Jimmy as Jimmy sits up in a daze. Solo clamps that claw into Jimmy’s shoulder now! Jimmy endures and fans rally up.

Jimmy fights up, throws body shots, and shoves Solo away, Roman tags in. Jimmy tosses Solo, and Roman runs in to keep Jimmy from Jey! Jey and Jimmy still reach out, but Roman reels Jimmy in! Jimmy lands out of the back suplex, slides under, but Roman grabs a leg! Jimmy fights, kicks Roman away, but Solo trips Jey! Fans boo and the ref reprimands but Roman clotheslines Jimmy in the corner! Fans boo more but Roman soaks it all up. Roman tosses Jimmy out, but the ref keeps him from going out. Solo CLOBBERS Jimmy instead! Fans still taunt Roman but Roman fetches Jimmy into the ring.

Roman goes to a corner while Jimmy goes to the other. Roman raises the finger, then locks ‘n’ loads. Roman aims, runs in, but Jimmy ducks! Jimmy CROSSBODIES Roman and himself out of the ring! They hit the floor and the fans chant for “USO! USO!” Jimmy drags himself up and into the ring, then crawls for his corner. The fans rally and Jey reaches out. But Roman gets in, too, hot tags to Jey and Solo! Jey fires off hands, shoutout to The Rock with that one! Solo whips, pops up but Jey lands on his feet to mule kick! UPPERCUT! Solo blocks a kick but not the DRAGON WHIP! Solo goes to a corner and fans fire up again!

Jey runs in but Solo puts him on the apron. Jey GAMANGIRIS back! Jey goes up, CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Jey keeps focus and fans rally up again. Solo is in a corner and Jey goes to the opposite. Jey gets fans to join in on “UCE! SO!” Jey runs in, HIP ATTACK! Jey holds up the finger and fans fire up as he goes again. But Solo fireman’s carries Jey! Jey fights free, shoves Solo, Roman sneaks a tag. Solo runs back in but Jey dumps him out. Jey clotheslines Roman out anyway! And Jey DIVES! Direct hit into the desk! Jey gets back in, to build speed and DIVE on Solo at the ramp! Fans fire up as Jey just keeps going!

Jey DIVES but into a SUPERMAN PUNCH!! Roman gets back in, he reloads, SUPERMAN PUNCH! Roman says it’s done now, but fans boo. Roman is rabid as he aims at Jey, “OOOAH~!” But Jimmy tags in! DOUBLE SPEAR from the Usos!!! Cover, Solo breaks it in time!! Fans are thunderous as Solo saves his Tribal Chief and all four men are down! “This is Awesome!” as the teams regroup. They all stand and the fans rally as hard as they can. The ref wants this to go back to 1v1, but Roman shakes his head. Jey says this is it. The brawl is on! Jey throws hands with Solo, Roman throws hands with Jimmy!

Jey and Solo go outside, Roman ROCKS Jimmy! Jey POSTS Solo, Jimmy UPPERCUTS Roman! Roman ROCKS Jimmy, Jimmy kicks, but Roman blocks! Roman ducks the Dragon Whip to SUPERMAN PUNCH! Cover, TWO!! Roman is shocked and fans fire up again. Roman gets mad, he storms around and tells the fans to shut up, he’s tired of them.

Fans are thunderous again for the USO SPLASH into the GUILLOTINE!!! Roman has Jimmy caught!!

Fans fire up as Jimmy endures and fights the hold. But he’s fading!! The ref checks, but Jimmy gets a second wind!! Jimmy fights up, lifts Roman up, and he RAMS Roman into the corner!

Solo roars and he drags Jimmy up! SAMOAN SPIKE!! And then Solo grabs Jey, Roman nods, “OOAH~!” SPEAR SPIKE COMBO!!! Solo drags Jimmy onto Jey to stack them like Roman wanted. And now the ref’s back! Fans call BS, but THE USOS KICK OUT!??!? Roman is shocked and London is loving it!! Heyman has no idea what to say about this, either, other than try again. Solo looks at his brothers, and then at Roman. Roman is distraught, so Solo rains down fists on Jey! The ref reprimands, he isn’t the legal man! But Roman gets back into things and he rains down fists.

Solo kicks Jimmy out, then whips Jimmy into steel steps! Roman tells Solo to clear the table, they’ll finish this now. Solo does as told, and then Solo SUPERKICKS Jimmy onto the desk. Solo then clears commentary out of the way so he can go up the barriers. Solo nods to Roman, runs in and FLYING SPLASHES onto just desk!!! Jimmy dodges in time and now Solo is the one taking out! Roman is freaking out again, Jey SUPERKICKS him! Roman SUPERMAN PUNCHES, but Jey SUPERKICKS again! Roman SPEARS!! Cover, TWO!??! With a sneaky low blow a la Roman! That’s karma right there!

Fans are thunderous for “USOS! USOS!” as Roman clutches his island of relevancy. Jey tells Roman this is what happens. Tag to Jimmy, and they SUPERKICK! And SUPERKICK! And DOUBLE SUPERKICK!! Roman flounders, Solo returns, but he gets DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for Roman!! Tag back to Jey and he goes up top, to USO SPLASH!!! Cover, USOS WIN!!!

Winners: The Usos, by pinfall

London is electric and even the Usos need a second to let this sink in! Without them protecting him, Roman loses! He is pinned for the first time since December of 2019!! The fans sing “We’ve Been Down Since! Day One Ish!” because the Usos are the ones! Jey tells Jimmy to let Roman soak in this for a moment. Roman is completely at a loss for what just happened, is he about to lose the title of Tribal Chief?


My Thoughts:

An awesome MITB, and as John Cena’s promo would say, a large part of that was because of the UK crowd. They were rowdy the entire three hours and 40 minutes, with great chants and the like. Cena wanting Mania London, Waller wanting Mania Australia, both sound great to me, an American. I especially like they idea of London because just like with MITB here, it’s done and I still have the evening to do whatever else I want. But also it seems like Waller and Cena now have a feud building, they could probably have it for SummerSlam to give Waller more time for his leg to recover, and for Cena to get into match shape.

Great move opening with the Men’s MITB, but boy was it rough with some of those spots. No ladders broke despite people falling on them, but maybe WWE decided it’s safer this way? The table spot could’ve been done better, but imagining a spot and doing it in reality are always different. I would think Logan is okay, he can still feud with Ricochet on Raw or LA Knight on SmackDown over how Logan and Ricochet parallel in athletic ability while Logan and Knight parallel in mic abilities. And it was great stuff for Knight and Priest to be the last two in the ring at the end, as they were certainly my top two choices.

Priest winning made sense given the story they ended up telling tonight during Seth VS Finn. Great match out of Seth VS Finn, but a little surprising Priest came down to the ring to mess with both men. It ended up “costing” Finn, and now Finn and Priest are going to end up more divided. This could/should be the perfect opening for Finn to bring in JD McDonagh. They kick Priest out, Rhea & Dom probably side with Finn with how Finn can spin Priest being the real traitor, and then Priest can be face in his feud. And since the MITB briefcase can now be used on any champion, Priest could aim for Heel Gunther or Heel Austin Theory and their midcard titles. Even though that’d technically be a letdown from aiming for the top titles.

Speaking of the Intercontinental Championship, great stuff out of Gunther and Riddle, but with Riddle’s beat up foot, it makes sense Gunther used that to beat him. Drew McIntyre returning to confront Gunther was awesome stuff, and I suppose McIntyre VS Gunther for that title could happen at SummerSlam since they just need a month to build it. Priest could cash in during that, maybe not, but McIntyre feels like the one guy right now who could take that title off Gunther. Gunther is great, but he set the record for this “era,” and while he’s just a month away from passing Randy Savage at 414, he’d have to go another 40 days past that, aka 70 days from today to surpass Honky Tonk Man, which is also past Payback in September. I suppose Gunther could do it, but will he?

Really fun stuff out of the Undisputed Women’s Tag Team Champions, but I did NOT expect Shayna to turn on Ronda like that. Apparently, where Ronda was wearing a Majin Vegeta cosplay outta DBZ, Shayna was cosplaying a Warhammer 40K character known for betrayal. I suppose the nerdiest among us would’ve realized this was coming, but Ronda is apparently not that nerdy since she went with a DBZ reference. Raquel & Liv winning was still good stuff, and they can be the ones going all around Raw, SmackDown and NXT to defend these belts while Ronda VS Shayna is headed for SummerSlam.

Also good stuff out of Cody VS Dom, but it was surprising we didn’t see more cheating from Dom, and no Brock Lesnar at all. Maybe Lesnar will attack Cody on Raw this Monday to set up things for SummerSlam, but it just seemed like missed opportunity here. Judgment Day goes 1-2 on the night, there will be a lot of tension on Raw, all the more reason to bring in new guy McDonagh. And great stuff out of the Women’s MITB. Good team work stuff from DMG CTRL and Trish & Zoey for most of the match, but just as I was hoping, push came to shove with Bayley and Iyo. There wasn’t a full on fallout, but how clever for Bayley to almost cost Iyo, and then Iyo uses the cuffs to trap Becky and Bayley in the ladder. Iyo can get in on what’s building with Charlotte, Bianca and Asuka, but there’s half a chance Bayley costs Iyo to make her the one woman who hasn’t cashed in successfully. Actually, I hate that, why’d I have to think that?

But pretty sure everyone loved how the main event went! What an awesome tag match, with great story, and more of that rowdiness from the UK crowd. Roman does a great job playing off the crowd so he had plenty to work with here. And I love that as the Usos survived being spiked, speared and stacked, with Roman losing hope, Solo looked like he was questioning Roman’s ability to lead. It all feeds into the Usos saying they’d rather have Solo as Tribal Chief than Roman, and that is great stuff. And as such, Usos winning was the right move, this pushes things towards SummerSlam. Whether it’s a match for the Universal title or just for the spot as Tribal Chief, it’ll be awesome stuff.

My Score: 9.1/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 5.8.2025

We get to see Alicia Fox in action and a dog collar match! Definitely an odd combination, so let’s see what happens!

Published

on

As I feel like I say every week, the best parts of TNA are on NXT. I really can’t tolerate Dreamer and Delirious’ idea of creative. This shows have been slapdash early 00s MTV humor and nonsense angles. We open the show with Trick Williams, so of course you know he’s gonna be a dick and Hendry’s gonna try and get even.

At least this spawned an interesting concept with the TNA Heavyweight Championship being defended on NXT Battleground. So it’s nice that Hendry and TNA are getting exposure, but honestly it’s only Hendry, and the constant milking on the TNA side of “hearing from Hendry” is making me ill.

I feel like I’ve seen Johnny Gobs all over since Nekrogoblikon came out with new music. Not mad at it, just didn’t have that on my Bingo card.

 

Ratings:

  • Rosemary vs Lei Ying Lee – Lei wins via Thunderstruck – *
  • Great Hands vs Aztec Warriors: Aztec Warriors win via Laredo Driver + Arabian Moonsault – * 1/2
  • Trey Miguel w/Wentz vs Mustafa Ali w/Tasha & Hands: Ali wins via Crucifix Blade Runner – ** 3/4
  • Victoria Crawford vs Brittnie Brooks: Victoria wins via Flying Axe Kick – Squash
  • Dog Collar Match: International Championship Match: Steve Maclin (c) vs Eric Young w/Northern Armoury: Maclin retains via KIA – ***

Results:

Hey look, Trick comes out and does exactly what I said. He’s arrogant, he’s basically doing his own version of a Ric Flair promo. I do like the line about having two girls, one named Lexis who drives a Mercedes and Mercedes who drives a Lexus. It’s that right balance of dumb and clever to make me chuckle. Hendry of course comes out with his game face on, security tries, fails, and Hendry gets a measure of revenge.

Rosemary vs Lei Ying Lee – Lei wins via Thunderstruck

Okay even though I don’t mind Xia as a wrestler anymore, Brookside is on commentary and she’s…awful. She’s like an Arianna Grace with no charisma. Her little integrity shtick got lame halfway through the word the first time she said it.

This match goes about how you expect which is why it’s not much to discuss. Rosemary does her usually brawling, biting and using the 5 counts with the Upside Down. But as expected, she tries to use the Brass Knucks, Xia comes off of commentary to stop her from using the weapon, and Lei catches her with Thunderstruck. I guess this was supposed to keep the Xia angle with some heat, but it’s really dumb. I don’t want to see any more of this Angel vs Demon, which one will turn crap. It’s boring, it’s cliche and for babies.

At least Lei Ying Lee is gorgeous and one hell of a wrestler. Hopefully she gets away from Rosemary and Xia soon.

Great Hands vs Aztec Warriors

Laredo and Octagon take early turns on Jason Hotch, Octagon even pulls off some rope acrobatics like he thinks he’s Rey Fenix. Hands try to take a few shortcuts, but the actions stays quick, the Cali crowd is behind the Luchadors. Stereo Tijeras, Five Hole Dive from Laredo into an Asai Moonsault from Octagon. Laredo Driver into Handstand Arabian Moonsault, and Aztec Warriors win handily.

After the fact Ali attacks the Aztec Warriors, Tasha and the Hands are trying to calm down Ali but then the Rascalz run out. Maybe we’re getting an early start to the Trey vs Ali match. 

Image

Trey Miguel w/Wentz vs Mustafa Ali w/Tasha & Hands

Hopefully this is something worth actually typing about instead of WCW Thunder level of rushed throwaway trash.

They trade early chops, but Ali is pissed, no sells Trey and rocks him with a Forearm. Trey tries to Baseball Slide through the legs and roll into a Sunset Flip, but Ali rolls through, comes up with Trey and Powerbombs him moving immediately into Ground and Pound. Ali goes for a Reverse Powerslam, but Trey escapes it, tries to use his quickness, trips up Ali for a second as he goes to the apron and then he catches Trey in the ropes and hits the Draping DDT off the apron. Outside In Neckbreaker from Ali into a Standing Tornillo.

Ali throws Trey into the ropes, Trey tries something but Ali catches him, flips him vertical and then Dragon Suplex looks nasty. Ali heads back to the apron, wants the Outside In Rolling Neckbreaker, but Trey catches him with a Cutter! Trey puts a little Shake Rattle and Roll together, Ali tries to block the last one so Trey hits the ropes and lands a Lionsault. Ali powders and eats a Dive, Trey throws him back in, Meteora! 1-2-kick out! Trey gets a little frustrated but tries a front facelock, they trade cradles, Ali throws him to the ropes, Trey tries that Rewind Tiger Feint, but Ali hits a Missile Dropkick. Ali tells the Hands to finish things but Wentz comes out flying. Ali drives Wentz into the post, throws Trey back in and mouths off to Wentz. When he turns he eats Trey’s Knee Slide Tornado DDT.

Tasha distracts the ref, Hands attack Trey with a Double Choke Bomb on the Apron and Ali kills Trey with Crucifix Blade Runner.

Hardys come out to talk, they get a solid pop from the crowd, but nothing interesting gets said. The old “we let you down” promo and they’re trying to get across a fandom nickname of “Diehardyz” and that’s corny. They punctuate their part before the Nemeths of course come out with some Obsolete and Delete references. Ryan starts talking and gets booed loudly, so that’s nice, they both play in it well. Ryan makes some goofy faces, Nic and him poke fun at the Hardys and the fact that Jeff can’t come to Canada because he’s prohibidabido. 

So Santino comes out, says next week Jeff and Nic will have a singles match, so Matt will get a tag match against the Nemeths with a partner of his choosing. Kind of a stock standard promo, but the Nemeths and Santino made it fun. 

Huh, coming back from commercial there’s a video package from WWE showing the last time Jeff Hardy and Nic Nemeth had a match. 16 years ago. 

Victoria Crawford vs Brittnie Brooks

Brittnie is Chris Bey’s girlfriend and Alicia was always one of my favorites.

Victoria clocks Brittnie early, but Brittnie fires back, Victoria gets annoyed, hits her beautiful Northern Lights Suplex Hold for only a two. Victoria drives Brittnie into the corner, Brittinie tries to fight out, but Victoria catches her with a Tumbling Headscissors Take Over and then a Flying Axe Kick. Victoria’s gorgeous self wins, and Victoria looked pretty decent in the squash.

Masha comes out, attacks Victoria, so Tessa makes a save. Santino makes a tag match next week Blanshard and Crawfish vs Slamabitch and a partner of her choosing. Robert Stone overrides Santino and picks her partner for her and chooses Nikkita Lyons. 

Dog Collar Match: International Championship Match: Steve Maclin (c) vs Eric Young w/Northern Armoury

EY sandbags in the corner at the bell and then catches Maclin with an opportune yank of the chain and then starts a little dirty boxing and chain choking. Cardona is out on commentary because there’s a number 1 contender match next week for the International title. EY grinds the chain across Maclin’s face and the bridge of his nose, and he’s bleeding 40 seconds into the match.

Maclin powders but since it’s a dog collar match the jabronis get involved immediately. Maclin is bleeding like his last name is Rhodes, the jabronis get in some pot shots and EY just whips him with the chain, uses the post, just goes for classic deliberately paced hardcore brawl tactics. Maclin does manage to get a small flurry, EY does the Flair Corner Flop, then EY and the jabronis eat a SCUD before we go to commercial.

We come back, Maclin is back to getting murdered, and now all the potential number 1 contenders and either on commentary, the ramp or in the back watching a monitor. Even Mance Warner looks a little concerned and horny at the same time with the blood. Maclin is so bloody he looks like a post explosion scene from The Boys. Maclin fires, whips EY in the ropes, grabs him mid run, Headbutts him a few times, Jumping Thesz Press into the Ground and Pound with some chain whips. Jabronis come in and eat a Busakiu and Backbreaker, EY tries to take advantage but EY eats an Olympic Slam. Another Busaiku for EY, Jar Headbutt connects! EY kicks out at two, then powders but Maclin follows and wraps the chain around his neck and starts throwing EY around by the throat. Dorks fly at Maclin, he deflects them, but EY yanks the chain and Maclin falls off the apron. EY throws him back in, another two count. EY heads to the top, Maclin crotches him, bald Jabroni eats a Powerbomb, hair Jabroni heads a Buckle Bomb. EY slips the Tree, so Maclin puts the jabronis in the corner, Stacked Tag Em and Bag Em, Nerds get Caught in the Crosshairs!

EY sees the chance, kick to the gut, Piledriver! 1-2…KICK OUT! EY calls for the Macho Elbow but Maclin gets up, pulls him off the top with the chain and KIA! Maclin retains!

 

Overall Score: 4/10

A generally disappointing episode. The first hour felt like WCW Thunder written by Meth addicted Racoons. But the second hour starting with Mustafa, turned out to be okay. I’ve always enjoyed Alicia Fox aesthetically and she wasn’t bad in the ring, Mustafa being edgy is cool, Ryan Nemeth is a treasure, Tessa is still great and the dog collar match was decent.

So a mixed bag definitely. Rosemary is honestly useless anymore. She only gets a pop because of the gimmick, but her storylines have sucked, her matches aren’t great and this whole Infantile Sting knockoff of trying to stick to her morals and integrity and not do the mean things. Aztec Warriors are basic lucha stuff with no gimmick beyond the fact they’re luchadors. Lastly, the Trick Flair opening segment was okay at best but really just just paint by numbers.

It’s a sad turn of events when my favorite wrestling program anymore is WWE main roster stuff. Yikes…2025 is weird.

Toni Storm is here!

Or rather, she’s still here given just last night, the TIMELESS AEW Women’s World Champion won a Fatal 4 Way Eliminator. And now she’s in the special box seat “balcony” with mic in hand. Detroit cheers and she blows kisses before saying, “So many men have taken a shot at me in here, I’m feeling like Abraham Lincoln. I will never forget my first. It was messy, it was sweaty, and painful. But I only wanted more. Once a month, once a week, twice a week, I was hooked. But then, it only became more risky. One at a time, then two at a time. And three at a time! Incorporating random objects, all the while being watched by perverts.”

The fans cheer being perverts but then Toni says, “One day, it will not end well for me. It will break my body and soil my soul. But in the end, I know it’s what I was born to do. And if you think I was referring to sexual intercourse, then get your minds out of the gutter!” Toni takes a moment before she continues, “Because the best bang could not compare to fighting for this!” She holds up the title and the fans cheer more! “I am not waiting for a Hayter or a CEO. So next week, line up the next batch of slop tarts, because baby wants to binge!” The fans also like the sound of that! Toni says spit on it and sit on it, and let’s get TIMELESS~!

The fans applaud and Toni takes a bow. Beach Break just got that much bigger, but who will take their shot at The Tramp that is The Champ?

 

Backstage interview with Paragon.

Lexy Nair is with Adam Cole, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly to ask them about the 2 Out of 3 Falls last Saturday. Roddy says that to say they’re disappointed is an understatement. He and Kyle are one of the best teams on this planet, and they thought it’d be like riding a bike. But it has been a bit more difficult than they thought. Kyle agrees that they’re frustrated and disappointed, but what they aren’t doing is taking anything away from themselves. They’re the Paragon and they’re still one of the best tag teams out there. And any other day, any other time, 99 out of 100, Kyle & Roddy win that match.

Cole agrees, and he knows that was tough last week. But they are one of the best teams in the world. There will be plenty of chances to prove that this year. But in step the Grizzled Young Veterans and Zack Gibson says say that again. He can’t believe Paragon has the nerve to stand here sulking and complaining. Honestly, this three are three of the best ever. The problem is, they’ve gone soft! They’ve forgotten what it is to fight for their sport. So any time they’re ready, GYV will remind them what that’s like. Kyle & Roddy say why not. GYV will be the first time that gets stomped on Paragon’s way back to the top!

GYV laugh that off then take their leave. But when and where will Liverpool’s Number One & Mr. Mayhem take on the Savior of the Backbreaker & the Violent Artist?

 

Ricochet VS Angelico w/ Serpentico!

The One & Only just got a big win last night alongside the Young Bucks, but now he looks to get a win on his own. Will Ricochet make Detroit #OuttaThisWorld two nights in a row? Or will tonight belong to Spanish Announce Project’s South African Stud?

The bell rings and the fans rally as Angelico and Ricochet circle. They feel things out, circle more, then Angelico leaves Ricochet hanging by smoothing his hair. Ricochet says ha ha, more bald jokes. Ricochet waistlocks, the fans chant, “He Has Hair!” but Ricochet hammerlocks and snapmares to then ghost pin, TWO! Ricochet taunts Angelico that this is professional wrestling, not modeling. Angelico trips Ricochet to cover, ONE! Angelico has a cording hold and he keeps Ricochet from the ropes. Ricochet wrenches, but Angelico gets the cording hold back! Ricochet endures, reaches out, but Angelico arm-drags him to the mat!

The fans cheer more, but Ricochet kips up. Angelico wrangles him back down! Ricochet claws at Angelico but Angelico polishes the bald head! The fans cheer and Angelico keeps on the arm. Ricochet fights up again, but Angelico wrangles him back down! Angelico gives Ricochet more polish, then stands him up to wrench and cording hold. Ricochet throws a body shot, flips up and over, but Angelico switches arms for a modified Cobra Twist! Angelico holds up his hand and the fans cheer, but Ricochet fights free and bails out. The fans boo but then Angelico sneaks up to clamp on shoulder claws!

Ricochet fights back, and he THROWS Angelico to the floor! Ricochet skins the cat, then TORNILLO PLANCHAS! Ricochet takes down Angelico, taunts Serpentico, then goes storming off to grab a chair! Ricochet chases off #SNAKEMAN, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Ricochet gets up on the barrier to soak up more heat, and he even flicks sweat off his bald head! Ricochet puts Angelico in the ring, stalks him to ropes, then CHOKES him! The ref counts, Ricochet backs off, and Serpentico coaches Angelico. Angelico sputters but Ricochet brings him up for a snapmare. Ricochet digs his knee into Angelico’s back as part of the chinlock. Angelico endures, fights up, and fires body shots. Angelico is free, runs the ropes, but Ricochet DROPKICKS him down! Ricochet taunts the fans, covers Angelico, TWO! Angelico is tougher than that but Ricochet covers again, ONE! And again, ONE! And again, ONE!!

Ricochet throws a fit and SLAPS Angelico down before arguing with the ref. The ref defends the count, so Ricochet just stomps away on Angelico’s back! Ricochet taunts the fans, goes back to stomp Angelico and kick him around, then he kicks Angelico to the ropes. Angelico rises to BODY BLOW! And JAB! Ricochet staggers back, Angelico fires more shots! Angelico runs, KICKS the backdrop away, then runs again, only for Ricochet to FLAPJACK him off ropes and JUMPING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Angelico survives and Collision returns to single picture. Ricochet storms his way to a corner while the fans boo.

Ricochet aims and 450- NO, he has to bail out as Angelico moves! Ricochet comes back but Angelico dodges again, Ricochet hits only buckles! Angelico swings, Ricochet dodges and shoves to TIGER WALL KICK! And SOBAT! KNEE! But Angelico KNEES in return! Ricochet rebounds to V-TRIGGER! ROLLING- NO, Angelico clinches for a LIFTING FLATLINER! The fans fire up while both men are down! A standing count starts, Ricochet and Angelico stir, and they rise at 5 of 10. Angelico counters a punch and then fires haymakers! Angelico whips, Ricochet reverses, but then Ricochet catches the leap!

Angelico fights Ricochet’s clinch with elbows, then whips, but Ricochet reverses, Angelico LEAPING LARIATS! And LEAPING LARIATS again! The fans fire up and Angelico storms up to Ricochet. Angelico whips, Ricochet reverses, but Angelico reverses back! COBRA TWIST, and the HEAD SLAPS! The fans fire up as Angelico just takes Ricochet to task! Ricochet sputters and staggers around, Angelico kicks and Canadian Racks! YOYO SLAM, into a hammerlock and HALF CRAB! Ricochet endures, reaches out, but Angelico gets the other arm! Ricochet kicks with his free leg and has the ROPEBREAK! The fans boo but Angelico lets go.

Ricochet goes to the apron, Angelico storms up, but Ricochet HOTSHOTS him! And then FLICKS the ropes at Angelico to hit down low! Ricochet then springboards and FLYING LARIATS! The fans boo but Ricochet runs for a STANDING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO! Ricochet just keeps going, dragon sleeper for the VERTIGO!! Ricochet rolls back, locks ‘n’ loads, and SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall

Ricochet made sure Angelico was done before he got the 1-2-3, and now he gets the mic. “Go ahead. C’mon, I can’t hear you! I can’t hear you!” The fans boo and taunt him more and Ricochet says he welcomes it all! Their boos mean NOTHING to him, because he sees what they cheer for. And c’mon, if you cheer for the Detroit Lions, that means you’re dumb as hell. If you were smart, if you had any amount of common sense, you’d be cheering for him! The fans keep taunting him with “They’re Not Bald!” But Ricochet says the Eagles won the Super Bowl, what’re they talking about? They should be cheering him, because he’s been here less than a year and he’s beaten most of the favorites!

Brody King, Will Ospreay, Mike Bailey, Kevin Knight, Mark Briscoe, Swerve Strickland, and even Kenny Omega! All of them are AEW legends, and Ricochet beat them all! But wait, speaking of legends… Ricochet points out the living legend, Zach Gowen! Ricochet remembers growing up, watching wrestling, he was a huge fan of Zach Gowen. Huge fan. He remembers when big Brock would beat him up and down the arena, that was awesome. But the thing is, Daddy Gowen used to be on this side of the barriers, but now he’s on the other side of them. What happened, Zach? Doesn’t have a leg in the fight anymore?

Ricochet laughs at his own offensive joke, and then asks where that fire is now. He pushes Zach around, security rushes in and Ricochet says he wasn’t doing anything! They’re just talking! Then he BOPS each and every guard! They like that? Ricochet THROWS one guy into railing! Ricochet does his own commentary as he sends another one into the steel steps! Then he puts the third one in the ring, and says Zach might like this. The fans boo but now Ricochet brings out THE SCISSORS! Ricochet cuts this guy’s hair up! But Zach jumps into the ring!! The fans cheer as Zach snatches the scissors from Ricochet!

The fans cheer as Zach asks what is wrong with Ricochet! Ricochet says sorry, sorry! But then he KICKS Zach’s leg out! And then SPIRIT GUN!! The fans boo even more but Ricochet isn’t done with Zach. He takes Zach’s prosthetic leg away! The fans boo as loud as they can as Ricochet leaves with the leg! Ricochet isn’t just humiliating Zach Gowen, he’s committing a crime! Ricochet holds the leg up as a trophy, then mockingly limps with it. Will anyone ever humble the ego that is #OuttaThisWorld?

 

8 Man Tag: The Don Callis Family VS The Outrunners, Bandido & AR Fox!

Don Callis himself dared Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd to find a friend so they could settle things with Roppongi Vice and the Family, but the Outrunners did better than that! They found TWO friends! Will the Most Wanted ROH World Champion and the Whole Fox’n Show help the Youngest Men Alive humble Callis’ cronies? Or will Trent Beretta, Rocky Romero, Lance Archer & Kyle Fletcher use them to take out all of their frustrations?

Callis of course joins commentary while the teams sort out. Callis calls tonight “Don Callis Championship Wrestling,” and says Detroit boos him and his Family because it is a city of losers. Kyle Fletcher starts against Bandido and the fans fire up. Kyle and Bandido circle, the fans rally up more, and they tie up. They go around, Kyle puts Bandido on the ropes. The fans rally for Bandido and he dodges the chop to CHOP! Kyle swings, Bandido dodges and headlocks. Kyle powers up and out, Bandido RAMS him, but Kyle rebounds to RUN Bandido over! Kyle flexes, the fans boo, but then Turbo flexes and the fans cheer.

So Kyle BOOTS Turbo off the apron! Kyle runs, Bandido dodges, hurdles, but Kyle leaps over. The fans tell Callis off while things keep moving. Bandido slips around to tilt-o-whirl RANA! And then DROPKICK! Kyle falls against ropes, Trent tags in, and Trent CLOBBERS Bandido! The fans boo, Trent rains down fists, and the ref reprimands. Trent stops to tag in Rocky. Roppongi Vice mugs Bandido, then they DOUBLE BACK SUPLEX! But Bandido lands out, tags AR Fox, and Fox BOOTS Rocky! And BOOTS Trent! Fox goes up, up, and CANNONBALLS! The fans fire up but here comes the Murderhawk Monster!

Trent is back, but he runs into a DOUBLE HIP TOSS! The fans fire up with The Outrunner as they run at the corners! BACK ELBOWS in stereo for RPG Vice! Then Outrunners trade, more ELBOWS in stereo! Then a feed to the BULLDOG LARIAT COMBO! The fans fire up while The Outrunners wind it up!

Archer stands on Truth in the corner and laughs while Collision goes picture in picture.

Archer stalks Truth tot he Callis corner. Rocky tags Archer in and they mug Truth. Archer bumps Truth off buckles, then whips him corner to corner hard! Truth falls to the mat, Archer puts him back in the corner, and Archer looms over him. Truth rises up to fire CHOPS, but archer eggs him on! Truth fires haymakers, then runs, only for Archer to DECK him! Tag to Trent and Trent stalks Truth while Archer TOSESS Turbo! Trent CHOKES Truth, CHOPS him, then talks trash. Trent winds up to CHOP again! Trent brings Truth over to bump off buckles, then he tags in Rocky. RPG Vice mugs Truth, whips him to a corner, and Kyle joins in.

Rocky runs up to ELBOW Truth, then Trent adds an ELBOW of his own! Kyle runs to forearm SMASH! Archer runs in and ELBOWS Truth down! Rocky covers, TWO! Truth survives the onslaught, but Rocky wrenches an arm. Tag to Kyle and Kyle KICKS then arm! Kyle mocks Truth reaching out for his corner, then stomps Truth down. Kyle stalks Truth to the ropes, mockingly holds Truth’s hand out, then scoops and SLAMS him in a snap! Kyle taunts Bandido, then he brings Truth up. Truth fires hands, but Kyle scoops and SLAMS again! Collision returns to single picture and he BLASTS Truth’s corner! Bandido avoids the shot and shouts at Kyle!

Kyle taunts Bandido, but Truth fires hands! The fans fire up but Kyle BOOTS Truth! Kyle suplexes, but Truth counters with a cradle! TWO, and Kyle is up, only for Truth to juke! Hot tag to Bandido! Kyle kicks but Bandido deflects and waistlocks. Kyle switches, shoves and runs up, but Bandido SUPERKICKS! Bandido goes up, up, and TORNILLOS! Down goes Kyle and he bails out! RPG Vice attack Bandido from behind! RPG Vice double whip, Bandido grabs ropes and he BOOTS them back! The Outrunners are in and they stereo ATOMIC DROP! RPG Vice tumble up and out of the ring! Archer runs in, Bandido holds the ropes down, but Archer doesn’t fall for it!

Archer ROCKS Bandido, but the Outrunners DUMP him out! The fans fire up as the Callis Family regroups by the ramp. Fox returns, and he coordinates with Bandido! Whip and pop-up, SUPER CANNONBALL!! The fans fire up as Fox hits a strike! And then The Outrunners form a staircase! Bandido runs to step, step, and ESCALARA CONJILO!! The fans are thunderous as Bandido puts Kyle in!

Then Fox wrenches Trent, catches the leg, and FISHERMAN BUSTERS! Archer grabs Fox, shoves him back, but Fox returns to DRAPING DDT!

Fox sees Rocky, Rocky kicks first, then Rocky whips. Fox reverses, Rocky is in the corner, Fox hits an A-LIST LARIAT! Kyle runs up but Fox ELBOWS him away!

BREAKING NEWS for Beach Break!

After the assault and humiliation that we saw earlier tonight, Zach Gowen is going to make his return to wrestling! Will Zach get revenge on Ricochet for taking things too far?

 

Jon Moxley speaks.

“So, we’re through the obligatory preamble, casualties on both sides. Last night, you took out my number one lieutenant. Now I could vow revenge and talk about all the things I’m gonna do to Samoa Joe once I get him inside that steel cage. But that would be rather rote, and probably mostly untrue. What do we know? The consensus is Samoa Joe is gonna kick my ass. And yeah, there’s nobody on the planet better at getting their ass kicked than me. The question isn’t whether Joe will beat me up. The question is, how long can he do it? Five, eight minutes? Ten? 20? 25? I’ve got all night.

“I know you don’t think very much of me, Joe, but you are one of the guys that I have genuine respect for. You are the embodiment of a champion. But you’re not the AEW World Champion, I am. And I know that no matter what happens to me inside that steel cage in Chicago, no matter what Hell is put on me, no matter what I am put through in that steel cage, I know I have been through worse. I have been through the kind of Hell, I have weathered the kind of storms, I have faced down the kinds of demons that would keep these kids up at night. So I don’t need to be feared or respected by you or anybody else. I just need you to show up.

“I don’t get along with the rest of the world because I am not like the rest of the world. And believe it or not, next week, there is nowhere else in the world I would rather be than locked inside a steel cage in Chicago with the AEW World Championship hanging in the balance, with the baddest man in pro-wrestling, Samoa Joe. I didn’t build my foundation on sand. When the storm comes through, the only thing that matters is who is the last man standing.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will he ultimately be the baddest man in AEW?

 

Anthony Bowens w/ Billy Gunn VS Lee Johnson w/ Blake Christian!

The Pride of Pro-Wrestling is ready to prove he’s worthy of all the opportunities before him, but that means having others step to the plate. #BigShotty thinks he can get a hit off the 5 Tool Player, but will he be able to go yard? Or will he just get Molly Whopped and sent back to the dugout?

The bell rings and the fans rally behind Bowens. Bowens and Lee tie up, Bowens wrenches and wristlocks, but Lee wrenches back. Bowens slips through, wrenches and hammerlocks, then he spins and snapmares Lee to an Oklahoma Roll! TWO, and Bowens tries a cradle, TWO! Lee is up to headlock back, but Bowens powers up and out. Lee goes up and over, baits Bowens into a waistlock, but Bowens switches. Lee switches, then he shoves Bowens! “You’re nothing!” The fans boo and Bowens scowls.

The perfect combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, the look, and The It Factor. And I am in a really good mood, so y’know what? Billy, throw ’em up! Detroit, throw ’em up! And make some noise!” And they SCISSOR FINGER~! For old time’s sake, Bowens embraces the old gimmick. But will nothing stop Bowens from making himself a contender?

 

The Gates of Agony are here!

Detroit cheers as Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona walk out to the ring, but they grab mics so they can talk. Kaun calls out Bryan Keith & Big Bill. “You think you’re gonna walk through these Gates unscathed, unburned, and redeem yourselves in the eyes of Chris Jericho?” The fans boo and Kaun says, “Hell no, Paradise has to be earned. And these Gates right here? They’re gonna stop you in your tracks.” Liona says, “And this time, we’re not doing it in a parking lot! Y’know why? Because we’re in Detroit!

Daniel Garcia VS Dax Harwood w/ Cash Wheeler & Stokely Hathaway!

For the longest time, Red Death respected FTR and FTR respected him. But after FTR selfishly betrayed Adam Copeland and put themselves ahead of everyone else, Garcia could not stand by and do nothing.

Garcia bails out, Dax pursues, and Dax brings Garcia around.

Dax talks trash on the fans, then reels Garcia in. Garcia fights the lift again, trips Dax up, and then CATAPULTS Dax into the POST! The fans fire up while Dax falls in a heap!

My Thoughts:

A great Collision, but it apparently caught a bit of the Go Home Syndrome. There were quite a few recap packages I skipped but clearly they are working to hype Beach Break for next. Moxley’s newest promo was alright, didn’t really add much, because as I said just last night, Moxley surely finds a way to retain with help from The Death Riders. I will say, it made a lot of sense for the remaining Death Riders to cost Willow. Marina and Willow still have beef, and I’m still hoping on my idea from last night: Shayna Baszler shows up, teams with Marina, we get Shayna & Marina VS Willow & Kris. Let’s up the ante and get another classic Street Fight Tag out of Kris & Willow.

Great promo from Toni Storm to open the night, and good to hear Skye Blue is back. Another Fatal 4 Way Eliminator makes me wonder if one of the mystery entrants ends up taking the loss. There was also that spider during Kris VS Willow, which I believe is a teaser for Thekla. Thekla could easily jump into the Fatal 4 Way and get close to winning, but who knows. And as I said last night, not sure why they’re holding Athena back from doing much of anything right now. With Supercard of Honor now delayed to July to coincide with All In: Texas, Athena should really be getting involved more on AEW TV so people don’t forget she exists.

Very good stuff with Bowens VS Lee, and I appreciate the albeit lazy way they changed Bowen’s logo so that it doesn’t resemble the Shane Taylor Promotions’ STP. Bowens of course wins, but his promo after was pretty much the same as his other ones. At least he did one last scissoring with Billy. Bowens is unfortunately not going to get a title story right now with all the champions preoccupied in something else. Though honestly, I feel like there is a way for Okada VS Bowens to be a great match, and then someone violates the Continental Rules so that Okada loses without really losing. Best way I can think of is Swerve is hunting The Bucks, they go ringside, and since Bucks are associate with Okada, that’s a violation on his part, and it adds more heat to whatever big thing Double or Nothing has planned.

Great stuff from the Don Callis Family in all their matches. I wasn’t expecting a big 8 Man Tag, and I’m a little disappointed Brody King wasn’t one of the participants, but maybe that’s the next phase. Great showing from the Faces, especially AR Fox. Fox is in a similar boat to Bowens where he certainly deserves title opportunities but TK just isn’t seeing how to write it. But between that and the dominance Konosuke & Alexander over Dark Order, it feels like the Don Callis Family get their comeuppance with Hangman & Ospreay winning next week.

Ricochet VS Angelico was rather outta nowhere but it was still a great match. It was also clearly a vehicle so Ricochet could start beef with Zach (Zack?) Gowen and give us a Beach Break match between them for the real deepcut long time wrestling fans. Much like Bowens and Fox, I feel like Ricochet is waiting on a title to be freed up from story so he can go get those titles. Such as Paragon now feuding with Grizzled Young Veterans for a minute, which in a way keeps Adam Cole isolated. TK should’ve just given us Ricochet VS Cole for the fun of it because Ricochet VS Cole would be incredibly fun stuff. They could even revisit their NXT history if they wanted to.

Great stuff with Gates of Agony and Learning Tree, that was much better than last week’s. I really hope this gives us a Tornado Tag match. For that matter, why aren’t we getting that in the story of Anna Jay & Harley Cameron VS Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford? Good promo from those teams to hype up… just Anna VS Megan… It’d make Beach Break Collision feel all the bigger but whatever, maybe they feel Ford still isn’t up to speed after that Fatal 4 Way last night. But doing a chaotic tag match could help iron out some of that so that Ford can just focus on what she is good at with the gymnastics and throwing hands.

And awesome stuff with Garcia VS “Dax the Axe” in the main event. And yeah, I didn’t put it in myself, but they’re really committing to that as Dax’s ring name right now. Great to see Menard helping Garcia, and even Nigel standing up for himself against Dax. A “No Contest” result was a little odd but I suppose that’s like saying it is a draw where no one goes over. But with the Faces standing tall, maybe Nigel steps in and teams with Garcia right now for Double or Nothing so that Garcia teaming with Cope is the All In moment.

My Score: 8.8/10
