PLAY BY PLAY
“Main Event” Jey Uso is in the ring!
New Orleans cheers as #TheRealChief is here, and he has the mic to say, “Hey, hey! Main Event Jey Uso is now in your city!” But then here comes ROMAN REIGNS! Jey stares at the stage as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion leads Paul Heyman & Solo Sikoa out. Fans are torn but plenty still throw up the ones with Roman for the pyro. Roman smirks as he continues down the ramp, Heyman holding on tight to the red lei that represents being Tribal Chief. Heyman holds it up as Roman steps into the ring. Roman smiles as he raises the belt for the second round of pyro. Jey stays in the corner while Heyman hands Roman the mic.
Roman hears the fans chant “USO! USO!” but Roman says, “Nawlins…! ACKNOWLEDGE ME!” Fans are torn but the “USO!” chant returns. Jey steps forward and Roman says, “You wanna know what you like the Usos? Because of me!” Fans boo but Roman tells Lil’ Jey he must’ve forgot that The Tribal Chief was scheduled to appear, and that means the Tribal Chief opens up his show. Lil Jey is forgetful, but Roman will remind him. Why do you think they called Jey the Right Hand Man? Because Roman made him that! Why does you think he’s Main Event Jey Uso? Because Roman made him that!
Fans boo more but Roman says that now that Jey doesn’t have any of that, he’s trying to do what Roman does, he’s trying to be Head of the Table. Jey thinks he’s the face of the WWE? Does Jey think he’s Tribal Chief now? Jey shakes his head, and says no, he never wanted any of that. Roman rolls his eyes but Jey says he’s serious. All Jey did for Roman was watch his back. Do what family do. Jey supported Roman! He was Roman’s right hand man for three YEARS! Through the mud, through the trenches, no questions asked, cuz he believed in Roman! He believed Roman could lead this company, and more importantly, lead the family.
“But you broke this family. And now I gotta do what I have to do, Uce.” Roman broke the family, broke the Bloodline, and he broke Jimmy! And it is all Roman’s fault! Roman laughs and tells the fans to shut up, but they boo him. Jey says it IS that way, though. Roman says he won’t take that blame, that’s on Jey. That’s Jeys’ fault! Jey’s jealously brought this on Jimmy! As soon as Jimmy got hurt, what’d Jey do? He asked for a title match! Because Jey is selfish! Backtrack to three years ago. The only reason Jey became the Right Hand Man is because Jimmy was hurt. If Jimmy wasn’t hurt, Jey didn’t have a chance! Jey took that from Jimmy!
Roman says Jey doesn’t even get it! Jey is gonna be all alone. Jey screwed his twin brother. His younger brother loves and respects Roman more than he does Jey. So when Roman beats Jey, Jey’s done! Outta here! Wiped off the face of the earth! No longer part of the history! DONE! As the Wise Man might say, let’s turn every stone, let’s think hypothetically. Let’s just say Jey actually beats Roman. That means Jey takes the Universal title, the leil, and everything from Roman. Roman will no longer be Tribal Chief cuz of Jey. But in the end, Roman will always be Roman. So that means he can do whatever it is he wants!
But Jey… Nah, Jey ain’t got anybody. He’s got nothing! The fact Jey still wants to do this blows Roman’s mind. He doesn’t get it! Lil Jey can’t beat Roman, so what is going on in his mind? Cuz Roman can’t understand how Jey thinks he can beat Roman! Fans are riled up, Heyman is laughing, but the “UCE! SO! UCE! SO!” chants echo out. Jey tells Roman, “It’s because I already beat you. I pinned you. I’m the only one to do it. And at SummerSlam…” Jey steps in real close and puts a hand on Roman’s shoulder. “I’ma beat you again.” Fans fire up and Roman is scowling. Jey’s confidence is not shook, will he tear down Roman Reigns, ego and all?
Jey is feeling good backstage.
And then he comes across Grayson Waller. Uce, Waller loved the passion! It was so invigorating! It gave Waller an idea. Win or lose at SummerSlam–and just between them, Jey’s gonna lose–but afterwards, how about the Grayson Waller rub? Be on Waller’s talk show! The Grayson Waller Effect, with special guest: Lil Jey! How’s that sound? Great, right? Jey laughs it up with Waller, then UPPERCUTS Waller! Waller just never learns, does he?
WWE United States Championship Invitational Finals: Santos Escobar VS Rey Mysterio!
The Emperor of Lucha Libre won the first Fatal 4 Way qualifier, and then went after Austin Theory for trying to keep the King of Lucha Libre from winning the second. Then Escobar would beat Theory that same night in non-title action! Can Escobar beat his mentor and role model to get another shot at The Now? Or will Mysterio prove he is still the best luchador today?
SmackDown returns as Escobar makes his entrance. The two shake hands to show there is respect, and they say that tonight, they give it their all. The bell rings, the two circle, and they tie up. Escobar waistlocks and rolls Rey up, ONE! Escobar holds onto Rey, Rey wrenches out, but Escobar trips him. Escobar hits a spinning toehold, then ties Rey up in a deathlock! Escobar rolls Rey around, has the Butterfly Deathlock now, but up in the skybox is Theory. Theory is watching, big bucket of popcorn on hand. Rey moves around but Escobar inside cradles, TWO! The two say it was that close, and they reset.
The two knuckle lock, Escobar wrenches and wrangles Rey with a top wristlock. Rey fights up, Escobar shoots to a waistlock to SLAM Rey down! Rey kips up, spins out, but Escobar dodges the punch to KICK a leg! Rey SLAPS Escobar! Rey wants Escobar to bring it, so Escobar SLAPS back! Escobar headlocks. Rey powers out, things speed up, and Rey dropkicks legs out! Escobar ends up on the ropes, but he hurries out before Rey can dial it up. But then Rey FLIES out onto Escobar! Direct hit and fans fire up with Rey as SmackDown goes to break!
SmackDown returns again and Escobar runs in at the corner but is put on the apron! Rey ROCKS Escobar, HIP TOSSES him in, and fans fire up! Escobar gets up, Rey runs back in, but now Escobar puts Rey on the apron! Escobar ROCKS Rey but Rey ROCKS Escobar! Rey goes up, FLYING SEATED SENTON! Things keep moving, springboard CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Fans fire up as Escobar stays in this. Theory is munching popcorn but he isn’t amused. Rey drags Escobar up, whips him to ropes, but Escobar reverses. Rey dodges but Escobar CLOBBERS him! And CLOBBERS him again!
Rey goes to a corner now, Escobar runs in but is put on the apron again. But this time, Escobar GAMANGIRIS Rey! Escobar climbs up, leaps, CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Fans rally as Rey hangs tough. Escobar rises, Rey follows, and fans rally while Theory keeps on munching. Rey flops over, Escobar storms over, but Rey KANGAROO KICKS! Escobar gets annoyed, he blocks the next kick and he spins Rey around! Rey keeps Escobar back with a monkey flip to a sunset flip! TWO!! Escobar escapes and both men look at the other. Fans rally up, Rey runs in, and Rey shoves to then follow. Tilt-o-whirl BACKBREAKER from Escobar! Cover, TWO!
Escobar is seeing firsthand how tough Rey is, which is why Rey is a Hall of Famer. Fans rally up, Escobar pushes Rey over and gets the legs to CATAPULT! Rey goes up the corner! Escobar grabs at Rey but Rey fires hands! Escobar CLUBS Rey, Electric Chair Lifts, but Rey grabs ropes! Rey RANAS Escobar out, but he holds on! Escobar still has Rey up, but Rey SPINNING RANAS! Escobar hits the apron! Fans fire up as Rey hurries in and builds speed! Rey SLIDING FLOPS as Escobar moves! Escobar builds speed, ARROW FROM HELL! Direct hit and fans fire up, but Theory acts unimpressed as SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns yet again, and medics are checking Rey. Escobar keeps fans rallying for “L! W! O!” Flashbacks suggest that maybe Rey took a harder fall than originally thought from the Arrow from Hell Tope. The ref goes out, and she calls it. The announcement is made, Rey cannot continue, so Escobar wins by default!
Winner: Santos Escobar, by referee stoppage (NEW #1 Contender to the WWE United States Champion)
Escobar is frustrated, he wanted to have a true classic with his mentor. He and Rey hug it out, and now Rey wants Escobar to take that title off Theory. Escobar beat Theory last week, will he do it again in two weeks for the gold?
Backstage interview with Bianca Belair.
Kayla Braxton is with The EST and says we are just eight days away from SummerSlam. Bianca will be in a Triple Threat for the WWE Women’s Championship, where is her mind? The numbers don’t favor anyone in a Triple Threat, but Bianca stays ready so she doesn’t have to get ready, and oh… Here come Sonya Deville & Chelsea Green. And Chelsea says, “Did I just hear ‘numbers?'” Normally, math isn’t her thing, but Triple Threat is three. Try this number: 11. Sonya loves that number. Cuz that’s the number of days the two of them have been tag team champions. For that matter, that’s the number of days they’ve gone without a celebration!
Chelsea says that is very insulting. They are the best women’s tag team ever, after all. Champ Chelsea asks Champ Sonya, “Y’know what really gives me the ick?” “The fact that Bianca Belair is no longer champion but the attention’s still all on her?” They laugh about that, and much like on Raw, Chelsea says if SmackDown isn’t about Bianca, it’s about Charlotte, and if it’s not about Charlotte it’s about Bianca. But hey, Champ Sonya, who is Chelsea being? She strikes a pose, and Sonya says that’s Charlotte! Bianca says don’t be disrespectful. First off, you’re already interrupting Bianca’s interview.
But if you wanna keep on talking, let’s have our own Triple Threat! This is three, since they’re so good at math! Oh, relax, Bianca, relax. But then in steps Charlotte! Now that’s four. And look at these bullies! Gossiping behind Charlotte’s back no less. She can’t let Bianca get outnumbered, she needs to be 100% for SummerSlam. So wanna tag up against the new champs? Bianca repeats, “Tag with you? Girl I love you, but girl, uh-uh!” Well that makes Charlotte just wanna team up more. She’s gonna go find Adam Pearce. Tootles. Whoa, wait, what? The Queen and EST head out, and the tag champs are trying to catch up. Will the number 11 end up bad luck from now on?
Hit Row is here!
Top Dolla, B-Fab & Ashante THEE Adonis are in the ring, and Adonis says Dolla should spit somethin’ for ’em. “But make sure you say it really, really slowly so they can understand.” B-Fab says that’s a good idea. Do it letter by letter or something. Dolla says he only needs two bars to get it live. Two words for Louisiana: ROLL TIDE! HEY~! Fans boo but wait! L A KNIGHT is here! Fans explode as The Megastar makes his way down to the ring, ready for a match! But first, “LEMME TALK TO YA!” Knight hears the “YEAH~!” echo out, and he wants us to wait a minute. He knew Will Smith was in the game, but who knew Uncle Phil became a rapper.
Who hotta than Top Dolla? A lotta lotta, YEAH! And what was that he said before they got back on air? New Orleans is corny? But he isn’t sure, the way B-Fab’s been going, she might have a tingle in tha loins, she might be HORNY! YEAH~! Knight steps into the ring and says business before pleasure, and business is with “Shante.” So tell you what, a lot of people claim to be undeniable and inevitable. Knight LIVES it! And that means tonight, Adonis can be the next go get dropped on his head, with everybody saying “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!!” Will the Megastar be the one dropping bars when he drops Adonis?
LA Knight VS Ashante THEE Adonis w/ Hit Row!
The bell rings and the two approach. Dolla storms up to the apron and that distracts Knight, and Adonis attacks! Adonis fires off hands, body shots, and haymakers! Knight staggers, Adonis CLUBS Knight to ropes and then CHOKES him! Dolla says LA is gonna get beat in a New York minute! Adonis lets off as the ref counts, fans rally for Knight, but Adonis CHOKES Knight again! The ref counts, Adonis lets off, but then he HOTSHOTS Knight! And then B-Fab distracts to Dolla can get a cheap shot in! Adonis covers, TWO! Adonis puts Knight in a corner, UPPERCUTS, then he runs corner to corner, but misses the splash! Knight hits the NECKBREAKER!
Fans are all fired up but Dolla gets on the apron! Knight DECKS him! Adonis runs in but into a scoop and POWERSLAM! Fans fire up again and they spell it out! “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!” BIG ELBOW DROP! Kick and B F T!! Cover, Knight wins!
Winner: LA Knight, by pinfall
And it was a good night for LA Knight, and he is gaining momentum! Will it only be a matter of time before he wins the big one?
Adam Pearce finds Jey backstage.
Pearce says after what happened earlier, Waller has been beating down the door looking for a match with Jey. Oh, well, Waller has been running his mouth. Jey will make it nice and quick. Yeet. Pearce says it’s official then. Main Event Jey will take on the Aussie Icon, will Waller be a nice tune-up for facing the Tribal Chief?
The Street Profits are having a good time.
Montez Ford thanks Bobby Lashley and says they really appreciate this. Lashley appreciates them meeting with him again. Last week, he also talked with Trick Williams & Carmelo Hayes, those guys had a lot of great things to say about the Profits. As they should, since they’re stars. These two should be treated as such, and they should dress like stars. Lashley and Ford slowly look over at Dawkins, who is swirling his wine while in sneakers and a hoodie. Oh, what? Him? Especially him, man! What do they got against sweats? Nothing! But um… Here’s something a little more fitting.
Lashley calls in some assistants, and courtesy of the All Mighty, a whole new wardrobe! Well thank you, fam! Are the Street Profits going to be rolling in style now that they’re with Lashley?
Bianca Belair & Charlotte Flair VS Sonya Deville & Chelsea Green!
The EST & The Queen are both going to be facing The Empress of Tomorrow in just eight days, and that match will surely be every woman for herself. However, can they hold it together here to humble the Complaint Department?
SmackDown returns as Bianca makes her entrance to join Charlotte, then Champ Sonya & Champ Chelsea make their entrance. The teams sort out and the bell rings as Chelsea starts against Bianca. The two tie up, go around, and Bianca headlocks. Chelsea powers out but Bianca runs her over! Fans fire up with Bianca and she says kiss this. Bianca runs, Charlotte sneaks a tag and then Charlotte BOOTS Chelsea! Charlotte says bye to Bianca as she then wraps Chelsea in a headscissors. Charlotte dribbles Chelsea off the m at like that! Then she THRWOS Chelsea, turns over, and THRWOS Chelsea again!
Charlotte kips up and fans “WOO~” with the Queen. But Chelsea BOOTS back! Charlotte GAMANGIRIS, then she brings Chelsea out. Bianca tags in, she takes the handoff and wrenches Chelsea’s arm. Chelsea stomps a foot and wrenches back! Fans rally for Bianca and she scoops to SLAM Chelsea! Chelsea scrambles away to tag Sonya! Sonya runs in, into a scoop and SLAM!

Bianca has Sonya in a corner, she climbs up, and she rains down fists! Fans count along but Chelsea storms in at 5! Bianca backflips up and over Chelsea! Then whips Chelsea out of the ring! Sonya runs in to BOOT Bianca! Even Charlotte felt that one! Cover, TWO! Bianca is hanging in there as SmackDown goes to break.

Fans fire up as Bianca crawls! Hot tag to Charlotte!
Fans fire up as Charlotte climbs and DOUBLE CROSSBODIES! Fans fire up even more as she CHOPS away on Chelsea! The “WOO~!” echoes out with every CHOP! Charlotte then scoops and carries Chelsea around, for a FALL AWAY SLAM! Charlotte kips up and the fans fire up with Charlotte again! Charlotte handsprings in to LARIAT! Cover, TWO!! Chelsea survives but Charlotte is amused. Charlotte storms after Chelsea but Chelsea holds ropes. Chelsae ELBOWS Charlotte, tags Sonya, and then Cheslea runs in. SPEAR from Charlotte, and she dodges the knee! Roll-up, TWO!! Charlotte scoops to a FALL AWAY SLAM!
Sonya staggers up, Charlotte trips her! Step through but Sonya BOOTS Charlotte into buckles! Bianca returns and tags back in! The EST rallies with big shoulders and a dropkick! And then a kip up! Fans fire up as Bianca reels Sonya in, BIG suplex! Fans fire up and Bianca runs in to RAM into Sonya! Bianca climbs up, and she rains down fists! Bianca goes all the way to TEN, then keeps going! But Sonya slips out at 12 to YANK Bianca down by her hair! The ref reprimands, Sonya whips, Bianca dodges, but Chelsea tags in! SPINEBUSTER for Sonya, then HANDSPRING, but Chelsea trips her!

Winners: Charlotte Flair & Bianca Belair, by pinfall
The team was dysfunctional the whole time, and yet they somehow won! Bianca is upset, but now she doesn’t have to worry about getting along anymore. Will she beat Charlotte AND Asuka in one match? Or will it be the other way around?
Bayley finishes watching this backstage.
She laughs, it is so embarrassing seeing other people try. But then Iyo Sky walks in. She asks Bayley why she ditched her last week. They talked about this! Bayley didn’t leave Sky, she was going to get the keys from the valet so Sky wouldn’t have to wait. Everyone knows how long that all takes, right? Sky doesn’t accept that. But Bayley admits that after Shotzi’s creepy video, it was best they got their things and left. And good thing they did, right? Cuz Sky’s stuff was fine, but Shotzi got to Bayley’s.
Speaking of… Bayley opens her backpack to find a message on construction paper. It has magazine clippings of eyes and smiling mouths, and in very ransom-letter style, “Bayley! See You Soon!” The green hair taped to it makes it clear Shotzi sent it. SEE?! Sky agrees, this is bad. But then in walks Asuka! And she says “Iyo-chan, Iyo-chan.” She will face two of the best ever at SummerSlam in Charlotte and Bianca. But you can’t even get past Shotzi! Iyo-chan, Iyo-chan, Iyo-chan! If she is thinking about cashing in, Asuka will make sure she regrets it forever! Forever, forever, FOR! EVER!
Sky tells “Asuka-nee-san,” Sky does respect you, but it won’t matter who wins at SummerSlam. Because Sky will be leaving as the NEW WWE Women’s Champion! So be careful, nee-san! Sky laughs, and Bayley tries to do the same taunt but Asuka scares her off. With all this chaos going on, who comes out on top in the end?
BREAKING NEWS for SummerSlam!
As if the Biggest Party of the Summer wasn’t big enough, now there will be a MEN’S BATTLE ROYAL on the card! Superstars from both Raw and SmackDown competing for dominance!
Adam Pearce is on the phone.
He is talking with someone about said battle royal, and has them picture it: The SummerSlam Battle Royal, sponsored by Slim Jim. And yes, he is working on who is in it by next week. But in walks LA Knight! Pearce finishes his phone call and Knight wants to talk with him. “After last week’s debacle, you’re looking at what? SummerSlam, the United States Championship? The biggest misstep not having the one guy, the biggest rising star in WWE history, not having that match. Let’s make that right. I tell ya how we do that! The Slim Jim Battle Royal? You wanna make that mean something? Then there’s only one man who can be in that and you’re looking at him. We’re talking about L A Knight.”
But then Sheamus steps in! And what’s the crack? The Brawling Brutes heard Knight blabbing all the way from Bourbon Street. Pearce, tell Mr. Catchphrases that the battle royal can’t go on just promos. You gotta fight like your bleedin’ life depends on it. And when it comes to promos, the Brutes here have a line of their own. It goes BANGER! AFTER BANGER! AFTER BANGER! AFTER BANGER! Knight says the only thing getting banged is Sheamus upside his head courtesy of Knight! Pearce says here’s this: they’re both officially in the battle royal! And next week, we see who walks into SummerSlam with momentum.
So wait, next week is Knight VS “This marble mouth?” Sheamus says YEAH! The Celtic Warrior heads out, but will he be ready for Fight Knight?
Backstage interview with Grayson Waller.
Cathy Kelley interrupts Waller warming up to ask that now he has the match, is he concerned that he has provoked Jey? Provoked?! Waller did nothing to deserve that cheap shot! He was just trying to be a good bloke, promote his show, and that’s what he gets. But that’s okay, cuz Jey’s gonna pay! Jey’s so stressed about Roman Reigns and the Bloodline, and the biggest match of his career at SummerSlam. So he ain’t ready for the Grayson Waller Effect. The 21st Century Success Story thinks he can bring down #TheRealChief, but will he be the one getting got?
Karrion Kross w/ Scarlett Bordeaux VS Karl Anderson w/ The OC!
To ruin the Phenomenal One’s chances of becoming champion, Mr. Doomsday went after his Good Brothers! And while AJ Styles wants to break Kross for it, the Machine Gun wants the first shot! Will Anderson make sure to leave Styles something to mop up? Or will Anderson #FallAndPray?
SmackDown returns as The OC is backstage, hyping Anderson up. Styles says they have his back, but then Karl says he appreciates that. But this tonight is personal. He needs them to let him do this on his own. Styles says okay, and the OC throw up the Too Sweet. Will Anderson really be okay riding solo when Kross always has Scarlett?
The bell rings and Anderson UPPERCUTS! And fires off haymaker! The ref counts, Kross shoves Anderson away but Anderson dodges his haymaker to CHOP! Anderson fires off forearms and CHOPS, but Kross TOSSES Anderson! Anderson UPPERCUTS back, and UPPERCUTS again! And again! Anderson CHOPS but Kross knees low. Kross runs in, but into BOOTS! Anderson goes up and leaps, FLYING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Anderson grows frustrated but he fires off on Kross in a corner! The ref counts, Scarlett doesn’t like this, but Anderson claws at Kross! The ref backs Anderson off and checks Kross.
Scarlett trips Anderson up behind the ref’s back! Anderson glares at Scarlett but Kross KICKS Anderson’s leg out! Fans boo but Kross runs in to clothesline !AN elbow! And ROLLING ELBOW! Kross eggs Anderson on, then reels him in, while calling out Styles! DOOMSDAY SAIDO!! Kross throws off the elbow pads and he winds the hands of time. Anderson stands up, KROSS HAMER!! Anderson flounders, Scarlett wants Kross to end this! Kross pump handles, lifts, and then spins Anderson for a DDT!! The Final Prayer! Cover, Kross wins!
Winner: Karrion Kross, by pinfall
The devious duo celebrates, but then Kross wraps on the KROSSJACKET!! Kross shouts for Styles to look what he did! But here comes Styles & The OC!! They run Kross & Scarlett off! Styles dares Kross to fight now! Kross & Scarlett retreat, but this battle isn’t over. When and where will Styles settle this with Kross?
The Bloodline is in the private suite.
Roman sits and stews while Solo is stoic. They then hear the music hit, and are ready to watch the main event. Will Jey humble Waller before he goes to humble the Head of the Table?
Jey Uso VS Grayson Waller!
SmackDown returns and Waller makes his entrance. The bell rings and the two circle. Fans rally up for “UCE! SO! UCE! SO!” Waller and Jey tie up, and Jey powers Waller to ropes. The ref counts, Waller complains, but Jey lets off at 3. They reset, tie up again, and Waller headlocks. Waller grinds the hold but Jey powers up and out. Waller runs Jey over, runs again but Jey drops to then CLOBBER Waller! Waller flounders to a corner, and fans “UCE! SO!” with Jey. Jey storms up but Waller dropkicks legs out! Jey hits buckles and Waller stomps a mudhole in! The ref counts as Waller digs his knee in, but Waller lets off at 4.
Waller stomps Jey then CLUBS him! Waller drags Jey up, HEADBUTTS, but that hurts Waller more! Never headbutt a Samoan! Jey scoops to SLAM Waller! Jey then stomps Waller down! Fans rally and Jey eggs Waller on. Jey clamps onto Waller’s head, CLUBS away on him, and he brings Waller up. But Waller knees low! Waller CLUBS Jey, jams his knee in again and again, then smothers Jey into the mat! Waller says he does what he wants! The ref reprimands, Waller lets off, and Waller blocks a kick! But the DRAGON WHIP hits! Waller goes to a corner and sits down! Fans fire up and Jey grins. “UCE! SO! UCE! SO!”
Jey aims, but here comes Roman! At least, his music hits. Jey is skeptical, but then Roman, Heyman and Solo all appear! Jey shakes his head, turns around, into a LEG LARIAT! Waller takes control as Roman watches on, and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns once again, and Waller has Jey in a cravat neck wrench. Roman has taken a seat at ringside, Heyman watching Roman while Solo watches Jey. Jey endures, fights up, and the fans rally. Waller shakes his head but Jey throws body shots! And then JAWBREAKERS free! Waller staggers, goes to a corner, and Jey hoists Waller up! Jey climbs up after him, they brawl up top, and Waller ROCKS Jey, then DECKS him! Waller goes along the ropes, KOBE! ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Jey is still in this and Roman is annoyed. Waller rains down forearms on Jey, then shouts, “You wanna disrespect me?!”
Waller scuffs Jey, and Roman is amused. Jey goes to ropes, he smirks back at Roman, and he dodges the Leg Lariat to mule kick! And UPPERCUT! Roman isn’t happy anymore as Jey fireman’s carries! But Waller slips free, shoves Jey, and SPINEBUSTERS! Roman’s happy again. But then Waller, continuing to call out The Rock past social media, takes off the elbow pad! Roman is actually very amused as Waller runs to do the People’s Elbow but misses! Jey then fireman’s carries to SAMOAN DROP! Fans fire up and join in on “UCE! SO!” Jey runs in but Waller avoids the hip attack! Waller somersaults, but into a SUPERKICK!
Fans fire up with Jey and he stares Roman down. Jey then sees Waller go to the other corner, and Roman scowls as Jey runs in, TO SPEAR!!! Fans are thunderous as Jey uses Roman’s own move! Jey asks what’s up, Uce?! Jey then goes up top, aims, USO SPLASH!! Cover, Jey wins!!
Winner: Jey Uso, by pinfall
Roman is no longer amused. Main Event Jey takes ownership of that nickname, but here comes Solo! Solo attacks Jey and stomps away on him! Solo shows the thumb, and Roman gives the nod. Solo drags Jey up, for the SAMOAN- NO, Jey dodges! SUPERKICK!! Roman gets up now and runs in, but Jey blows past Roman! SPEAR!!! JEY SPEARS ROMAN!!! Heyman is stunned as Jey drags Roman into the drop zone! Jey climbs up, but Solo returns to SHOVE Jey down! Jey hotshots off ropes, and Solo drags him up! URENAGE!! Solo drags Jey up again, prepares the thumb, and Roman stands up.
Fans boo as Roman shakes out the cobwebs. Roman is all fired up, and he coordinates with Solo! “OOAH!!” SPEAR SPIKE COMBO!! Fans boo as the Tribal Chief and his Enforcer stand tall over Jey, with Roman holding up both title and lei. “You want this, huh?! This is what it’s all about!!” Jey wants it, but he can’t handle it! Fans boo more, and they chant “YOU GOT PINNED! YOU GOT PINNED!” Roman is furious hearing that, and he has Solo get Jey back up! “OOOAH~!!” SPEAR SPIKE COMBO AGAIN!! Fans boo even harder but Roman just soaks it all up as he holds both prizes up. Will Solo help Roman destroy Jey once and for all at SummerSlam? Or can Jey still find a way?
My Thoughts:
A great episode for SmackDown, a lot of stuff paved for SummerSlam and even past SummerSlam here. As always, great stuff from the Bloodline, and good bookending of the night. That opening promo segment was great with Jey have such a great line to leave it on. Waller getting smacked for talking smack was great, and naturally that turns into the main event match. Jey wins but Roman stands tall, but we still have the go-home next week to figure into the “math.” I hope that by Roman rubbing in that Jey is alone, Jimmy makes a great return at SummerSlam to help Jey, mostly to counteract Solo’s involvement.
The US Championship contender’s match was off to an awesome start, so it is a shame Rey goes down with what was at least a concern of a concussion. Escobar VS Theory rematch in two weeks is going to be great stuff, but it is interesting that we’re not getting a US title match on SummerSlam. Instead, we’re getting a battle royal. Now, I do understand that being a battle royal, it gets a lot of people on the Premium Live Event to get them paid, and that can be where a lot of midcard stories have it out. We know Knight and Sheamus are in it, and Knight VS Sheamus will be great. I bet we also get Bronson Reed, Nakamura, Ciampa, Miz, maybe even Gargano, just a lot of guys who need to be on our screens more.
Great little moment with Lashley & The Profits as we get closer and closer to the New Yet Not Hurt Business faction. And with Melo & Trick involved, is this a sign that Melo doesn’t win at Great American Bash so that he and Trick can jump right into this faction with Lashley & The Profits? That’d be a great tradeoff for Trick Melo Gang. Melo has had NXT’s top title and North American title, and the tag division is getting too crowded for Trick Melo Gang to get those titles to make Melo a Triple Crown Champion. Instead, they can help Lashley’s new group conquer the tag division while Lashley is top title guy, and heck, Profits can be singles guys now so that one of them (probably Ford) gets the US title.
Kross borderline squashes Karl Anderson, which is a shame for Karl, he’s better than this but apparently that’s only when he’s not in WWE. Kross angers Styles, they might be in the battle royal, they probably have a grudge match post-SummerSlam where it’s like No Disqualifications or a Steel Cage, meaning Scarlett still interferes but Mia Yim counters her again. Either way, Styles should win and move on to a title. There’s also a lot of potential for faction matches, like OC VS LWO, OC VS Theory & Pretty Deadly, or OC VS Brawling Brutes. Now only one of those is Faces VS Heels, but anything could happen.
And great stuff in the women’s division for tonight. Chelsea & Sonya put their feet in their mouths as they have been going, but at least they’re traveling champions. Great match with them against Charlotte & Bianca, with a nice little twist on the usual “can they coexist?” cliché. And great stuff from DMG CTRL and Asuka backstage. Shotzi continues to creep Bayley out without even having to be there, can’t wait for Shotzi to strike in person. And nice interaction between Asuka and Iyo to further play off their history, as well as Japanese honorific culture. The whole thing about “-chan” was to demean Iyo, but even “nee-san” (older sister) was meant to taunt Asuka. The Triple Threat in itself will be hard to call, Iyo having MITB could make it even more exciting, that could be a show stealing segment.
My Score: 8.7/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Cody Rhodes talks with Nick Aldis backstage.
They shake hands, but the SmackDown General Manager tells the WWE Champion there’s been a change: Cody’s out of the Six Man Tag match. What? Why would Aldis do that? It is out of Aldis’s hands. Wait, Solo Sikoa shows up to do what he did, but they can’t do the Six Man Tag that they advertised? How is this out of Aldis’s hands? Who do they need to talk to so they can do the match? Aldis says there’s no one either of them can call, if you smell what’s cooking. This is coming from The Final Boss, and The Final Boss wants to see Cody in the ring tonight. What business could The Great One have with The American Nightmare?
Drew McIntyre VS Jimmy Uso!
The Scottish Terminator rubbed it in Big Jim’s face that only one of them is going to Elimination Chamber in Toronto, which Big Jim was able to brush off. But McIntyre harping on how only one Uso is going to WrestleMania was a step too far. These two look to have it out, but is Jimmy just playing into McIntyre’s hands? Or will McIntyre get embarrassed by “the other Uso” this close to that big time match?
Speaking of, Jimmy has a message for Drew as he heads to gorilla. “Everybody know you’re going to Elimination Chamber, right? But Big Jimmy got a question for the Big Easy: Will Drew go onto the Elimination Chamber and win that? Will Drew go onto WrestleMania and win that? Ey, Drew, I think we got an answer for you, Uce. The answer is…” “NO YEET!” Jimmy makes his entrance, the bell rings, and the fans rally behind Jimmy. Jimmy and Drew jaw, and then Drew raises his hands, to say UP YOURS! But Jimmy ROCKS and CHOPS away! Drew puts Jimmy in a corner, Jimmy dodges to CHOP!
Jimmy climbs and he rains down fists! The fans count, Drew dumps Jimmy tot eh apron at 5, but Jimmy GAMANGIRIS! Jimmy goes up, CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Jimmy hurries to CHOP, then he whips. Drew reverses to send Jimmy to the corner. Jimmy BOOTS back, goes up, and leaps, but into a clinch! OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Jimmy flounders to a corner, Drew runs up to SPLASH and OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Jimmy flounders again, the ref has Drew hold on, and Jimmy bails out. Drew storms out to get Jimmy and he whips Jimmy HARD into barrier! The fans boo but Drew looms over Jimmy.
The ring count starts, Drew mockingly calls him “Jey,” then puts Jimmy in the ring. Drew says NO MANIA for Jimmy. Drew stands Jimmy up, ROCKS him, then runs up, only for Jimmy to put him on the apron! Drew blocks a superkick, but not the DRAGON WHIP! Drew drops, Jimmy DIVES! Down goes Drew and the fans fire up! Jimmy grins, goes back to the apron, and then aims. But Drew stops the Penalty Kick to THROW Jimmy down! Drew then has Jimmy in the Reverse Alabama Lift! REVERSE ALABAMA SLAM onto the steel steps! Drew stands on the desk to say “NO YEET!” while SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Drew revels in the heat from New Orleans, then he leaves Jimmy behind. The ref checks Jimmy, he’s able to continue, so a ring count starts. Drew paces while Jimmy stirs. Jimmy drags himself up using the desk, then lunges in at 9! Drew is annoyed but he rains down fists! Drew stomps Jimmy, then eggs him on. Jimmy rises as the fans rally, but Drew is right on him in the corner. Drew winds up, but Jimmy counter punches! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! And whips, only for Drew to reverses. Jimmy goes up, but Drew KICKS him out of the air! Drew then hauls Jimmy up, snap suplex! Cover, TWO!
Drew says okay, Big Jim. He clamps onto Jimmy with a top wristlock and grinds the arm. Jimmy fights up, fireman’s carries, but Drew elbows free. Drew bumps Jimmy off buckles, then hauls him up to the top rope! Drew CLUBS Jimmy on the back, climbs up, then CLUBS Jimmy more. Jimmy fires elbows and Drew drops back. But Drew runs up to CLUB Jimmy again! SmackDown returns to single picture as Drew CLUBS away on Jimmy again! Jimmy keeps taunting “Jey,” then drags him up. Jimmy fights the back suplex! The fans rally, Jimmy fires hands and a HEADBUTT! Jimmy SMACKS Drew off the post!
Jimmy rises to USO IN THE WIND! Down goes Drew and the fans fire up! A standing count starts while both men stir on the mat. They both stand at 5, and Drew swings! Jimmy counter punches, then fires more shots! Mule kick, UPPERCUT, but then Jimmy dodges Drew! SAMOAN DROP! Cover, TWO! Drew is tougher than that, but Jimmy hurries to a corner. Jimmy aims as Drew goes to the other corner, “UCE! OH! UCE! OH!” Jimmy runs, but Drew FLYING HEADBUTTS! The Glasgow Kiss stuns Jimmy, and Drew hits a SPINEBUSTER! Jackknife bridge, TWO! Jimmy shows his own toughness, and the fans rally behind him.
Drew paces, then he stalks Jimmy. Drew stands Jimmy up, reels him in, but Jimmy fights the underhooks! Jimmy wrenches, UPPERCUTS, but Drew ROCKS Jimmy back! Jimmy UPPERCUTS, Drew HAYMAKERS! Drew whips, Jimmy reverses and Drew ends up on the apron! Drew ROCKS Jimmy first, then climbs the corner! FLYING- SUPERKICK! Jimmy runs to SPEAR! Cover, TWO!! Drew survives, Jimmy’s spear doesn’t hit quite like The Tribal Chief’s. Jimmy goes to the corner, climbs up, and the fans rally up. USO- NO, Jimmy rolls through as Drew moves! Drew dodges a lariat to NECKBREAKER!
Both men are down, the fans rally, and Drew kips up! Drew scowls as he aims at Jimmy. “THREE! TWO! ONE!” CLAY- SUPERKICK!! Jimmy hits first! GLASGOW KISS returns! Drew reels Jimmy in, “This is your WrestleMania! This is as close as you get!” Drew shouts Jimmy is nothing, then ROCKS him with forearm after forearm! GLASGOW KISS! Another Reverse Alabama, but Jimmy victory rolls it! JIMMY WINS!!!
Winner: Jimmy Uso, by pinfall
Drew is furious, but his own ego caught him there! But then Drew CLOBBERS Jimmy! The fans boo Drew being a sore loser, but he puts Jimmy back in the ring! Drew rains down fists, then he DRIBBLES Jimmy off the mat! The ref reprimands, the fans boo, but Drew says that was Jimmy’s Mania Moment! Drew will win the Chamber, he will go to Mania, and he will win there! Jimmy means NOTHING to Drew! Drew puts Jimmy up against the post, then takes aim! The fans boo, but refs and producers rush out here! They swarm Drew to keep him from going after Jimmy again. Drew says fine, fine, then takes his leave.
Producers help Jimmy to his feet, but then Drew BLASTS through the refs! CLAYMORE for Jimmy!! The Scottish Terminator hits his target, then laughs as he actually leaves. Will McIntyre make this his Road to WrestleMania?
A car pulls into the parking lot.
And out steps Solo Sikoa. Solo heads inside, and he finds Jacob Fatu & Tama Tonga waiting. Solo tells them that last week with Tama, that was an accident. Jacob says yeah, it’s all good, Uce. But keep it 100: If it wasn’t an accident, Solo wouldn’t be standing here right now. Well, good! Glad to see we’re all on the same page. Solo says he will be in the corner during the match for Jacob & Tama. Uh, no, Solo, no disrespect, but Jacob & Tama have been running things on SmackDown these past couple weeks. So tonight, it’s Jacob & Solo running the play? Yadada mean? Yeah, of course. And that right there, Jacob, is exactly why Solo loves him.
Solo says he’ll be back, he has to talk with Nick Aldis. Solo heads out, but will he really just step right back into place from before he lost the ula fala?
Carmelo Hayes is backstage.
R-Truth calls out to Melo, and says for the first time ever, Truth VS Melo! What’s Truth talking about? Duh, they have a match. No, Truth, Melo knows. But they had a match last week. Truth says he has never met Melo in his life, but they have a tag match tonight. What? No, they don’t. Who even made this match? Him. Truth, they are not going through this H1M who’s on first thing again. Melo is H1M. No, him made the match. The Miz!? Miz says he’s H1M. So now there’s two of you? No no no! Melo is H1M, this is The Miz! Yeah, #MeloDon’tMiz! NO! That’s not a thing! Tonight, they are. Who’s Truth’s partner?
Truth says he’s got a guy. A Louisiana legend! In fact, he just got here, so Truth’s gotta go. Laters. Miz says he has been workshopping this, and the fans love it. Think about it: Melo Don’t Miz! Melo Don’t Miz! And we are…! Melo shakes his head. Truth steps in and says Miz just wants Melo to say, “Awesome.” Miz offers a fist bump, Melo says no. Will Melo wish he had missed tonight’s show? Or will Miz actually help H1M get another win?
Zelina Vega speaks.
“My whole life, people have taken one look at me, and they try to define me. My size has never stopped me before. It never stopped me from becoming tag team champion. Or my personal favorite, the history-making first-time-ever Queen of the Ring. That’s me. Make no mistake about it, I’ve never had it easy. I had to scratch and claw to get anything around here. But this is a fresh start. Because I have something to prove. And my dreams are a lot bigger than your measuring stick. It ain’t over until Zelina Vega says it’s over.”
The Miz & Carmelo Hayes VS R-Truth & ???
Miz makes his entrance but Melo kinda steps all over it. So he already missed his cue… But who did Truth find to team with him in the Big Easy? We’ll see, after the break.
SmackDown returns and Truth makes his entrance. “What’s up?” Well, more like who is his partner? He’ll tell us! His tag team partner is a local legend, born and bred right here in New Orleans! Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Louisiana Knight! Wait, he means L A Knight! Yes, Louisiana abbreviated is LA, but that’s not… Oh, Truth… Truth gives Knight a Po’ Boy and some Mardi Gras beads, so Knight embraces it. The teams sort out, and Truth calls out him! Does he mean Miz or Melo? Well, Melo says he is H1M, so that’s who starts. The fans cheer on Knight while Truth and Melo tie up. Melo KNEES low, whips, but Truth reverses.
Melo springboards, FADEAWAY JUMPER! Melo makes his free throw, but Truth drop toeholds! Truth headlocks, Melo powers up and out but Truth whips! Melo turns hip toss into lateral press, TWO! Truth has a ghost pin, TWO! Melo trips to cover, ONE! Truth trips to cover, ONE! Melo runs up, Truth does the splits, and then hits a BIG hip toss! The fans fire up, Truth counts, Melo gets up at TWO, but Truth was just goofing. The ref explains to Truth that he is the ref, not Truth! Melo is annoyed, he runs up on Truth, but Truth wrenches him around! Melo pulls hair but Knight tags in. The fans fire up as Knight fires hands!
Knight ROCKS Melo, whips Melo, but Melo reverses! SWINGING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Knight drags Melo up to tag Truth back in, and Truth ROCKS Melo! Melo staggers, but he refuses to tag! Truth arm-drags Melo, then grinds the arm. Melo insists he’s got this, then arm-drags free. Truth staggers up, he and Melo bump heads! Truth staggers around more, and he tags Miz?! Truth forgot The Awesome Truth isn’t a thing anymore! Again! Melo BLASTS Truth off the apron, the fans boo, but Miz tags himself in! Melo is annoyed, but Miz goes to fetch Truth while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again, and Melo has Truth. Truth ROCKS Melo, but Melo holds onto the wristlock! Truth reaches for Knight, Knight reaches for Truth, but Melo holds on. Truth takes a swing, but into an O’Conner Roll! TWO and Melo BLASTS Knight! Truth rolls Melo up, TWO! Melo kicks low, calls his shot, but Truth suplexes for a STUNNER! The fans fire up while both men are down! Truth and Melo crawl, hot tags to Miz and Knight! The fans fire up as Knight rallies on Miz! “YEAH! YEAH!” Knight whips, Miz reverses, but Knight lEAPING LARIATS! Knight TOSSES Melo in for good measure!
Knight stomps a mudhole into Melo, “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” LARIAT for Miz! KNEE for Melo! Knight scoops and POWERSLAMS Miz! Knight keeps running, JUMP ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Knight stays on Miz as he brings Miz up. Knight ROCKS Miz, then ROCKS him again! Knight whips, Miz grabs the ropes. Miz KICKS, then takes a swing, but into a back suplex! Miz lands out, tag to Melo! Miz ELBOWS Knight, but Knight scoops! Miz tilt-o-whirls through, Melo SUPERKICKS Knight down! cover, TWO! Knight stays in this but Melo says he’s got this!

The fans fire up again, but NAKAMURA ATTACKS KNIGHT!
The fans boo, but the sinister samurai then POSTS Knight!! Nakamura slithers away while Melo keeps the ref’s attention! Truth sees Knight is down, Melo runs up, but Truth dodges! Miz tags in, full nelson, and a FIRST 48 FINALE COMBO?!? Cover, Miz & Melo win!!
Winners: The Miz & Carmelo Hayes, by pinfall
Well, what do you know? Nakamura aside, Miz and Melo made it work! Okay, they’re both trying to hog the spotlight, but is there a future for Melo Don’t Miz? Will Knight only have more of a reason to take that title off Nakamura now?
Charlotte Flair speaks.
“The GOAT… doesn’t have to call themselves The GOAT. Now, I have crafted a legacy that no one, I mean no one, can touch. And I’m back.” The Women’s Royal Rumble Winner chose Tiffany Stratton, but will The Queen take back her throne? Or will WWE always be on #TiffyTime? Speaking of…
Tiffany Stratton VS Candice LeRae!
The WWE Women’s Champion may have gotten past Nia Jax, but now she knows Charlotte Flair is waiting for her at WrestleMania, and is going to be teaming with Trish Stratus in Toronto! Will she be in Tiffy Top Shape for that Tiffy Trishy dream match? Or will the Poison Pixie be quite the problem all on her own?
Before the match, Tiff grabs a mic while the fans cheer. Tiffy says, “I know, I know. You know it, you know it, and you know it. Ever since I won this title, everybody’s just been so obsessed with me. And last week, I had Nia Jax beat, until Candice LeRae decided to interfere and help her little meal ticket. And at Elimination Chamber, Trish Stratus and I make sure the Unstoppable Force comes to a definitive end!” The fans cheer that, but Tiff says enough about them. Let’s talk Charlotte Flair. The fans boo that name, but Tiff says Charlotte took her sweet old time, grabbed a chair, grabbed a mic, and she looked down on Tiff.
Charlotte chose Tiff as her WrestleMania opponent. In that moment, Tiff’s dream came true! And as she lied down there and looked up at Charlotte, she realized the rumors are true: No one loves to kick a girl when she’s down quite like Charlotte Flair. So at WrestleMania, Tiff isn’t coming for Charlotte’s legacy; that’s all Charlotte’s. Tiff is coming for the spot Charlotte desires the most: The number one spot as the top girl in the WWE! But here comes Nia & Candice to interrupt. Nia has a mic to tell Tiffy, “I Have to say, this is really cute. Like, it’s really cute that you actually think you were gonna beat me last week.”
Doesn’t Candice think that is cute? Candice says yes, it is so~ cute. And Tiff wouldn’t even be standing there if not for little Trish Stratus~. Exactly! And it’s even cuter that Tiff is out here talking about Charlotte when she wont’ even see WrestleMania! Because after Nia & Candide destroy Tiff at Elimination Chamber, Nia is coming back for her WWE Women’s Championship. Nia & Candice step up to the ring, and Nia says Tiff won’t even see the Grandest Stage of Them All. Tiff tells Nia to just give it up. This title isn’t even hers anymore. And once Tiff beats Candice tonight, Nia won’t have anyone to do her dirty work anymore!
Candice tells Tiffy that while they’re meant have a match right now, she and Nia are feeling impatient. Nia says they should just get rid of Tiff right now! But the ref steps in and says not gonna happen! Tiff VS Candice will, after the break.
SmackDown returns and Candice has Tiffy down with an armlock. Tiff fights up as the fans rally, but Candice wrenches to wristlock. Tiff spins through, goes to ropes, then up the corner to flip and arm-drag! The fans fire up as Tiff rallies on Candice! DROPKICK, and Tiff snarls! Tiff goes to the corner, and Charlotte makes her entrance? The Queen chooses to be fashionably late all so everyone looks at her, including Tiffy. Tiffy handsprings, but Candice dodges! Candice runs up to UPPERCUT, then she snapmares and NECK SNAPPERS! Jackknife bridge, TWO! Candice clamps onto Tiffy with a top wristlock.
The fans “WOO~” as Charlotte now chooses to join commentary. Tiff fights up, has the ROPEBREAK, but Candice CLUBS away on her! Candice backs off, runs up, but Tiff drop toeholds her to ropes! Tiff runs, HIP ATTACKS, and Candice flops back! Cover, TWO! Tiff stays on Candice with a whip, but Candice reverses. Candice CLOBBERS Tiff, covers, TWO! Charlotte corrects Tiffy’s words earlier: Charlotte isn’t the “top girl,” she is THE woman in WWE. Candice HIP DROPS Tiff but the fans rally up. Candice scuffs Tiff, then grinds an arm to drop a knee on the elbow! And another knee drop! Tiff endures and the fans rally up.
Candice keeps on that arm, thrashes it around, but Tiff fights up. Tiff fires body shots, then shoves Candice to Alabama Lift her! Candice sunset flips, Tiff rolls through, TIFFY STOMPS! Cover, TWO! Tiff is frustrated and Candice bails out. Tiff goes to the apron, goes up the corner, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS! Direct hit on Candice and Nia, and Tiff almost stuck the landing! The fans fire up with Tiff and she goes into the ring. Tiff points to the WrestleMania sign, and then at Charlotte, but SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Tiff waits on Candice, Candice slides in, and Tiff stomps her down! Candice bails out, Nia is there to coach her, but Tiff lets the ring count start. Candice gets on the apron, Tiff kicks her, but Candice RAMS Tiff! Candice CLUBS Tiff, has her in the ropes, and hits a NECKBREAKER HOTSHOT! Candice climbs, aims, and leaps to MISSILE DROPKICK Tiff down! Cover, TWO! Candice is frustrated but this is why Tiff’s a champ. The fans rally, but Candice stomps Tiff! Candice scowls at the fans, stalks Tiff, then brings her up. Tiff fires body shots, then she rolls Candice up! TWO, and Candice CLOBBERS Tiff! Cover, TWO, into a ghost pin! TWO!
Candice escapes to hit a CODE BREAKER! Both women are down, but Candice scowls again as she crawls over to Tiff. Candice rains down fists, Nia tells fans to shut up, and Candice steps on Tiff’s face. Candice huffs ‘n’ puffs, pushes Tiff around, then scuffs her. Tiff rolls Candice up again, TWO! Candice DECKS Tiff! Cover, TWO! Charlotte is stoic on commentary as Candice drags Tiff up and puts her in a corner. Candice fires hands, then backs off. Candice runs up to ROCK Tiff again! Candice then runs, but Tiff dodges! SmackDown returns to single picture, and Tiff rallies with LARIAT after LARIAT! The fans fire up, Tiff handsprings, BACK ELBOW!
Tiff then reels Candice in for a SKY HIGH! High stack, TWO! The fans rally for Tiff, Nia coaches Candice, but Charlotte still seems nonplussed. Tiff and Candice rise, and Candice runs up. Candice puts Tiff on the apron, but Tiff ROCKS her! Tiff bumps Candice off buckles, then goes up, but Candice ROCKS her back! Candice climbs up, and she fires hands on Tiff! Tiff fights the suplex! Tiff DECKS Candice, then adjusts position, to SANTON- FLOP! Candice ghost pins, TWO!! Tiff escapes, but Candice hits the step-up SENTON! And then a LIONSAUL FLOP! Tiff hurries to fireman’s carry, ROLLING SENTON! And then PRETTIEST MOON- NO, Nia drags Candice out of the ring!
The fans boo, Nia tells them to shut up, but Tiff is on the apron! Nia swings, Tiff cartwheels over, and then she DROPKICKS Nia! Tiff Alabama Lifts Candice, to ALABAMA SLAM her into barriers! Tiff stares down Charlotte, tells her just wait for Mania, then she puts Candice in the ring. Tiff goes to the corner, PRETTIEST MOONSAULT EVER!! Cover, Tiff wins!
Winner: Tiffany Stratton, by pinfall
Charlotte gives moderate applause, but Nia CLOBBERS Tiff from behind! The fans boo, but Nia just drags Tiff to a corner. Nia goes up, but wait! Trish is here!! The fans fire up for the legend as she rushes into the ring! Trish avoids a haymaker to CHICK KICK! Then THESZ PRESS for Candice! And then a SPINEBUSTER! Trish helps Tiff to her feet, but Nia grabs them both! Trish fires fast hands on Nia! Candice CHOP BLOCKS Trish! Tiff is still dazed, Nia HEADBUTTS her back down! Nia & Candice mug Trish, and then Nia HEADBUTTS Trish! Trish & Tiff are side by side, and Nia drags them into the drop zone! A-NIA-LATOR!!
The fans boo but there’s nothing can be done! Nia grins as she helps Candice away, will these two trash Trish & Tiff in Toronto? Charlotte steps into the ring, stands over Tiff, and points to the WrestleMania sign. Will The Irresistible Force & Poison Pixie unwittingly do the dirty work of The Queen of Flair?
Cody talks with Damian Priest backstage.
Priest asks why Cody’s boy, The Rock, is here tonight. Cody says given the time of year, his guess is as good as anyone’s. But tonight will surely be eventful. Cody congratulates Priest on entering the Elimination Chamber. Priest says what’s wild is, last year, they both walked out as champions. What sucks is that this year, only one of them can. Now, Priest is man enough and he respects Cody to say that after Chamber, he’s coming for that title. Cody says he wouldn’t have it any other way. Cody heads out, but what business does The Rock have tonight?
Braun Strowman steps in, and he tells Priest that congrats on winning, and good luck in the Chamber. But let’s be honest, Braun had Jacob dead to rights last week. If not for Solo Sikoa, things would look a lot different next week. Priest chuckles and says take it easy, he’s sounding like Drew with the excuses. But it is what it is, Priest just beat Braun to the punch. But that was last week. Tonight, Solo and Jacob, two of the baddest men in the business. Priest & Braun handling business? Oh, they’re handling business. The only business Braun cares about is getting his hands on those two. Priest says Braun definitely will.
Braun heads out, will the Monster of All Monsters and the Archer of Infamy make sure Solo & Jacob #GetTheseHands? Or will the rogues run roughshod all over SmackDown once again?
Backstage interview with Naomi & Bianca Belair.
Byron Saxton is with the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions and brings up last week’s SmackDown, the security footage led us to believe Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez were the ones behind Jade Cargill’s attack. Now, hold on, Saxton. They don’t think, Naomi knows they were. Fair enough. But this Monday, they can get their revenge when they defend the tag titles against Liv & Raquel. How ready are they for this match? Bianca says so ready! They have been waiting for months for an update. Jade has been recovering, she hasn’t been able to call or text, so the GlowEST took matters into their own hands to get revenge.
Bianca & Naomi will handle Liv & Raquel, then move on to Elimination Chamber, where one of them is gonna win to face Rhea at WrestleMania. Not only will you #FeelTheGlowEST on Monday, but Liv feels it tonight! #Let’sGLOW! The champs head out, but will they clear their Road to WrestleMania of any other distractions?
Alexa Bliss speaks.
“When I was away, there was a lot of… change that happened in me. But when I look around, I see this place is still the same. The names and faces may be different, but the desperation and insecurity remains the same. You’ll see Toronto when I turn the Elimination Chamber into something of a playground of my own. I know the Chamber. I love the Chamber. I’ve won the Chamber. And for the other five women, it’s gonna be a Hell like they’ve never experienced before. Need I remind you, this is my division, and I am in charge.” Bliss smiles and says, “See you soon.” The film comes off the reel, but will things get twisted in Toronto?
Naomi w/ Bianca Belair VS Liv Morgan w/ Raquel Rodriguez!
The Big Easy is all about having fun, and they’re fired up for Naomi’s entrance. But wait! Liv & Raquel don’t wait, they attack Bianca & Naomi while the lights are still down! They mug Naomi, but Bianca drags Liv out of the ring! Then Bianca storms in to fire off on Raquel! The fans fire up, but Liv returns to CHOP BLOCK Bianca! Raquel hauls Bianca up for a TEJANA BOMB!! Naomi runs up, fires more hands, but Liv brings Naomi around. Naomi fires hands on her, but Raquel throws her down! Liv runs up, OBLIVION!
Liv & Raquel stand tall, the refs rush out here, but clearly the singles match isn’t happening. Will we be getting something even meaner and nastier between these four on Monday?
The Rock arrives!
His truck pulls into the parking lot, but we’ll see him in the ring, after the break!
SmackDown returns and…
Aldis is chewing out Liv & Raquel for the attack. He doesn’t know what they get away with on Raw, but they can’t pull that crap here. Now get the hell out of his building. Liv & Raquel just laugh that off, but then Chelsea Green & Piper Niven walk in. Chelsea says have no fear, Chelsea & Piper are here to sub in for Bianca and Naomi at Elimination Chamber. Aldis sighs, and says they’re not missing the Chamber. What? But Chelsea had an outfit picked out! This is a travesty to not have the greatest Canadian export since maple syrup on a Canadian PLE! Does he know who she is? The first-ever, longest reigning, tallest, shortest, prettiest, richest, tannest, sparkliest, oldest, youngest Women’s US Champion! Piper asks what this is aboot, eh?
Aldis says this is them testing his patience. They need to pack their gear and whatever else they want, because they’ll be in action next week on SmackDown in Toronto. And oh, it’ll be a good one. Wait, they need more details! At least an e-calendar notification? Aldis is leaving Chelsea in the dark on what’s coming, will she absolutely hate it?
The Rock heads to the ring!
Wait, what is this New Orleans related remix? The Final Boss steps out on stage, he shows those goosebumps, then continues down the ramp, shaking hands with fans. The Rock hits his signature pose on the corner, but then takes the long way around to pick up a fan’s phone for them before going back into the ring. The fans all cheer for “ROCKY! ROCKY!” and he grabs himself a mic. He waits as the fans continue to chant his name, and then he says, “Ahh, you feel it, don’t you? You feel it. The Rock has got chills up and down his body because you know, on a Friday night, for the Final Boss to get inside his bird and fly all the way here, you know that I’m dropping some ish on you tonight!”
The fans fire up and The Rock smiles. Rock says, “Let’s get this show on the road.” The fans anticipate what’s coming but he says hold on, he’ll do it. “FINALLY! The Rock has come back…” “TO NEW ORLEANS~!” Rock smiles, and he adds, FINALLY, WrestleMania is coming back to New Orleans!! The fans are thunderous to hear that! WrestleMania 30, WrestleMania 34, and now WrestleMania 42!? Yes, next year, 2026, LIVE from the Superdome! One of the greatest cities on Earth in New Orleans, Louisiana! The pyro goes off to commemorate the occasion, and the logo is already on the tron! Rock smiles at that, then he smiles at the WrestleMania 41 Vegas logo.
The fans are losing their minds, as we now know April 11th and 12th, 2026, the Big Easy has the Grandest Stage of Them All. Rock says you damn right holy ish! Oh when the saints go marching in…! Oh how I’d love… Wait, no, this ain’t singalong with The Final Boss! Sit there, shut up, and let The Final Boss sing the song! The fans are torn, but Rock says he sings! Oh how I’d love, to be in that number~! Oh when the saints go marching in~! Okay, that’s good enough. You got him, that was a great duet. The Rock is singing with the largest collection of STD’d trailer trash he has ever seen! The fans can’t believe Rock would do that to them!
Rock says now, dropping this news wasn’t the only gift he was going to drop on us. The Final Boss came here to call somebody out. The Rock will call out a man who he respects, who he admires, and who we all admire. That man is our WWE Champion, the one and only, Cody Rhodes. The fans cheer as The American Nightmare makes his entrance! They sing along with the song, “WHOA~ OH~!” and we get Cody’s pyro before he goes to the ring. Cody gets his second “WHOA~ OH~!” and round of pyro, then he steps inside to join The Rock. The fans cheer Cody on, so he holds up the title and the fans cheer even more.
Cody grabs a mic, but Rock says, “That feels good, doesn’t it? I mean, that’s gotta feel amazing, right? They love you, man.” Cody tells NOLA, “I love you, too.” Rock says this is crazy. Pretty much no one knows this, but since after WrestleMania last year, they’ve actually become good friends. No, it’s true, they have. Last time they were together was the Raw Netflix debut. Rock gave Cody his flowers, told Cody he has carried the company like the incredible champion that he is, so thank you, Cody. Rock meant it, and that night, they went to the back, drank tequila for two hours and had a great ol’ time.
They chopped it up, had a blast, but Rock wants to call Cody out here for something important. Here’s the thing… The fans get a bit rowdy as they wait, and Rock says Cody is a great champion. A great WWE Champion. Cody knows that. Again, they’ve become good friends, so over the months, they’ve texted. Even their moms became good friends! Look! Mama Johnson & Mama Rhodes together after WrestleMania 40! It is a pleasure becoming Cody’s friend. But Rock wanted this face to face to tell him a few things. One: Cody has been a great champion, but he needs to understand. Yes, The Rock, The Final Boss, is on the Board of TKO. And TKO owns WWE.
The Rock is the Director of the Board of TKO. Don’t boo that! The Rock’s good friend, Ari Emanuel, who owns everything Endeavor, The Rock joked with Ari, “Can you believe that you own The WWE?” Ari says he doesn’t own the WWE, The Rock does. Rock said no, no, he doesn’t know if he owns the WWE. But The Rock knows he is the most powerful… Cody, you are a great champion. But Rock wants Cody to be something more. Rock wants Cody to be something more than just our champion. Rock wants Cody to be his champion. The fans don’t like where that’s going.
Cody says he did not expect them to become friends, nor their moms to become friends, nor the tequila. Cody didn’t have that on his bingo card. But becoming The Rock’s champion? The Rock of all people should know, Cody is the people’s champion. The fans cheer Cody more, and Rock says yes! Cody is their champion! Of course! The Rock is also The People’s Champion, he loves that about Cody. This is their universe, they were both born into this business. But Rock means something even bigger than just this. Rock knows Cody’s goal is to bring as much joy and happiness to everyone around the world, as many as possible.
The fans cheer, and Rock says that’s Cody. Cody is that guy, and everyone knows it. Cody is on social media, Instagram, millions of followers. Millions, and millions! The Rock has half a BILLION. That’s not a flex. But The Rock is the most followed American man in the world, that’s what he wants for Cody. Rock wants Cody to be even higher. If Cody becomes The Rock’s Champion, he will open doors to possibilities Cody never even imagined. If Cody becomes The Rock’s Champion, every dream he has ever had can come true. Every dream of Brandi’s, of their daughter’s. Think about how Rock brought them to the premiere of Moana 2, in Hawaii.
Thank you, by the way, for making that cross a BILLION dollars, fans, Rock loves you. Rock has met the Rhodes family, they’re amazing. But imagine it: Cody’s daughter’s children, their dreams, long after Rock and Cody are gone, all those dreams can come true. Rock just needs Cody to be his champion. The fans say don’t do it! Rock tells Cody to just think about it, though. Rock is a very lucky man, he has it all. Cody also has it all. They’re very fortunate. They’re Mama’s Boys, they’re Girl Dads, they’re lucky men. Fans say don’t do it, Rock tells them to shut up or he’ll slap the syphilis off their face! Rock is trying to have a moment here, shut your mouths!
The one thing that Rock has never had, that he wants more than anything, is a brother. And that is what Cody can be. Last year, WrestleMania, Rock’s goal was to face his cousin, Roman Reigns, for the title. Cody knows, the fans know. Rock talked with his friend, HHH. He talked with Nick Khan, who is his friend. They are also Cody’s friends. Rock knew it wasn’t in the plans, but they talked about moving Cody aside to make what was best for business: Rock VS Roman, WrestleMania 40! What’d Cody do? Cody pitched a b*tch fit! Cody told The Rock he ain’t doing it, and he stood up to The Rock. And y’know what else? Cody SLAPPED Rock!
No one does that and gets away with it. But that is why Cody is special. That is why Cody should be Rock’s Champion. And that is why Rock will take Cody from where he is to a level so far above. Rock will make sure every dream, every desire, for generations to come, it all comes true. Rock’s dad, Cody’s dad, Soul Man & American Dream, they are looking down right now. They were friends, Cody and Rock are friends, Cody should be Rock’s Champion. He doesn’t need to answer Rock tonight. He can think about it, talk with his wife and daughter, as will The Rock. Then Cody can think about it. Meet Rock in Toronto on March 1st to give him the answer.
Fans still say don’t do it, but Rock says it is okay. Before he leaves, this has been an amazing night, this is a hot crowd, thank you all very much. But before he leaves, Rock wants us to know this: The one thing Rock wants more than anything in this world… is that. Wait, the title? Cody’s title? The fans’ title? This is all this is about? No no no no! Brother… Rock doesn’t want the title. He wants Cody’s soul. The fans duel, “NO! NO! NO!” “SELL YOUR SOUL!” Rock pats Cody on the cheek and says see you in Toronto. The Rock leaves, giving Cody a lot to think about. Rock does give one last glance back at Cody, then smirks.
What will The American Nightmare choose: His integrity? Or his aspirations?
WWE Tag Team Championships: #DIY VS Pretty Deadly!
Did Tommaso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano got these titles thanks to Kit Wilson & Elton Prince? #YESBOY! Did they survive a couple title defenses thanks to Kit & Elton? #YESBOY! But when Pretty Deadly needed DIY, was DIY there for them? #NOBOY! So now, Kit & Elton are looking to give Ciampa & Gargano their comeuppance! Will we finally get another #SidePlateCheck? Or will Ciampa & Gargano remember for themselves, that if you wanna be champions, you gotta do it yourself?
But as DIY make their entrance, they have mics, and Johnny Wrestling tells NOLA, “Give it up one time for your TWO-TIME WWE Tag Team Champions…! The BTTITW (Best Tag Team In The World), D I Y~!” The fans boo instead. Ciampa says there is no denying that tonight has been electrifying. Gargano says this is a hot crowd. But please, if we could be somber for a second. Guys, this is serious. Two weeks ago, Pretty Deadly embarrassed DIY, and now reluctantly, DIY will return that favor by crushing their hopes and dreams of ever becoming WWE Tag Team Champions. So please, let us all rise to our feet… Yes, you in the LSU jersey, stand up.
Ciampa thanks Wade Barrett, and asks for everyone to remove their hands and bow their heads for a moment of silence for Pretty Deadly, beginning… now. The fans boo instead! And then Pretty Deadly make their entrance! The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who really needed who in this broken relationship!
But then DIY jumps Pretty Deadly! The ref reprimands, DIY whip but Pretty Deadly reverses! DOUBLE DORPKICKS! Then DOUBLE LARIATS send DIY up and out! The disco ball hasn’t even stopped spinning! The fans cheer while DIY throw a fit! They regroup, cool down, and go back to the ring. Gargano distracts Elton, Ciampa CLOBBERS him, and the bell rings. But Elton fires hands on Ciampa! Elton whips, Ciampa reverses and he pulls hair! The ref reprimands, Ciampa throws Elton to the apron and KNEES him down! Tag to Gargano and he aims, SUPERKICK! Elton goes down in a heap, DIY cheers themselves on, and SmackDown goes to break!
SmackDown returns, Gargano tags in, and DIY hits the BACK SUPLEX BOMBO COMBO! Cover, TWO! Elton stays in this but Gargano tags Ciampa back in. Gargano sends Ciampa in, but Elton ELBOWS him away! Gargano runs in, but Elton puts him on the apron! Gargano goes after Kit, but Kit blocks the kick! Kit BOOTS Gargano down, but then Ciampa BOOTS Kit! Elton dodges Ciampa to come back, DOUBLE CROSSBODIES collide! Elton and Ciampa are down, sputtering and writhing, and the fans rally up. Elton crawls, Kit rises, hot tags to Kit and Gargano! Kit rallies on DIY with big forearms! Kit whips, Gargano reverses, Kit UPPERCUTS!
Kit UPPERCUTS Ciampa in a corner, then LARIATS! Kit runs to LARIAT Gargano! Kit pushes Gargano down, kicks him and hits a TWIST- NO, Gargano slips through to ROCK Kit! Kit yoyos, DOUBLE LARIATS! The fans fire up, Kit tags Elton! They get Gargano up, but Gargano BOOTS Elton! Gargano ELBOWS Kit away, then runs up on Elton! Elton dodges, then gives Kit the boost, DRY MARTI-KNEES! Cover, TWO!! Gargano survives but Ciampa is in! Elton fireman’s carries Ciampa, but Ciampa slips free! Ciampa whips, Elton reverses, Kit UPPERCUTS Ciampa! Elton shows off his strength with the GOTCH LIFT PLEX!
Tag to Kit, but IN COME THE PROFITS! Ford SHOVES Kit down, Dawkins mugs him!!
Winners: Pretty Deadly, by disqualification; DIY retain the titles
Not again! Just like they did Motor City Machine Guns, The Profits make sure no one else takes these titles off DIY! URENAGE from Ford to Elton! Dawkins keeps hammering away on Kit, and then Ford POSTS Elton! Dawkins fireman’s carries Kit, to POST him, too! Looking like the All Mighty with that one! Gargano fires forearms in return, but ends up int he POUNCE GERMAN SUPLEX! Then Ciampa runs up into a FLAPJACK! Ford goes up top, then flies in FROM THE HEAVENS!! Direct hit on Ciampa! But wait! MCMG rushes out here, wanting their payback! The Profits brawl with MCMG, but Ford TOSSES Shelley to the apron!
Ford runs up, Shelley goes to kick, but Ford blocks it! Ford LARIATS Shelley down, Dawkins hits Sabin with THE BIG ENDING! The fans are torn as Dawkins whips Sabin, Profits get him for the REVELATION!! And if there’s been any revelation, it is that Ford & Dawkins don’t just want the smoke, they want to burn down the tag division to get it! Will nothing stop them once they’re back in action?
Kevin Owens speaks.
“You got what you wanted, huh? You got your match. You couldn’t, uh… You couldn’t just take the punishment that you deserved, that I’d already given you, and let it go. No, you… You wanted me and you to go again. You wanted to fight me, you want to hurt me, you want to end my career, which would hurt my family, by the way. Which is truly despicable. But what about your family, Sami? Huh? Have you thought of them? What about your family, huh?” Kevin reveals he is right outside the Zayn home! Kevin peers inside to watch Sami, his wife, and his son!
Kevin asks Sami via the video if Sami knows what he’s about to put them through, when they have to watch Kevin end Sami’s career. And what happens then, eh? When Sami can’t provide for them, and everything they have, like this nice house, the shelter, the security, the peace they have, when it’s all gone? And why? What for? Because Sami’s too proud? Because Sami’s selfish? Sami IS selfish. Because Sami is making Kevin do this to Sami’s family. Kevin will never forgive Sami for that. He’ll see Sami in Toronto. “But remember… You asked for this. It’s all your fault.” As if Kevin’s delusions aren’t already grand, will he continue to blame everyone else but himself?
Damian Priest & Braun Strowman VS Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu w/ Tama Tonga!
Elimination Chamber is on the horizon, and the Road to WrestleMania makes for strange bedfellows. Priest, Braun and Jacob were fighting each other just last week, but Solo’s return really threw things for a loop. Can Priest & Braun give Solo and the Samoan Werewolf their punishment? Or will everything (not) be fine in Solo’s Bloodline?
SmackDown returns as #OneBigSOB makes his entrance. As Solo, Jacob & Tama head to gorilla, we hear from Solo. “Tonight, we handle business. And it starts with Braun Strowman & Damian-” Jacob interrupts with, “Man, c’mon, DP! C’mon, Braun! I thought we did this! So tonight, we about to even up the score. If you ain’t know, I’m all gas, no brakes with it! See, since we touched the scene, we been dropping bodies like bread crumbs! Yadada mean!? FA-TUUU~! Hit my music!” The rogues enter to Jacob’s theme, is this alone proof he’s the new alpha? Or will the match be the last nail in that coffin?
The teams sort out, but Jacob stares down both Priest and Braun. NOLA seems to acknowledge Jacob, but Solo convinces him to stand down. Solo starts against Priest, the bell rings, and the two tie up. They go around, Priest powers Solo back, but Solo powers Priest back. They break, stare down, and Solo talks some trash. Solo shoves Priest, Priest shoves back. They circle again, tie up, and Priest puts Solo in a corner. The ref counts, Priest lets off at 4, but Solo stomps Priest’s foot! Solo throws hands, then a HEADBUTT! Priest staggers, but then he ROCKS Solo! And ROCKS him! And HEADBUTTS! That was a mistake!
Solo shakes his head to HEADBUTT Priest! Priest goes to a corner, Solo throws haymakers and body shots on repeat! The ref counts, Solo lets off and says see? Solo and Jacob as one! But Priest THROWS Solo to the corner to fire off haymakers of his own! Priest ROCKS Solo, the fans fire up, and Priest whips., Solo reverses to UPPERCUT! Solo talks smack but Priest ROCKS him again! Tag to Braun and the fans fire up! Braun stares Jacob down, tells him to shove it, then runs up to SPLASH Solo! Braun stares Jacob down again, goes back for Solo, and hits another LARIAT! Braun scoops, Solo slips free, but Braun runs up!
Solo ELBOWS Braun away, tags to Jacob, and Jacob runs in, but Braun dodges! Braun CROSSBODIES! Jacob is right up, but Braun BOOTS him right back down! Solo runs in but Braun TOSSES him! Priest hurries after Solo, Braun CLOBBERS Jacob! LEAPING LARIAT for Solo! Braun then gets on the track, STROWMAN EXPRESS SMACKS a chair out of Tama’s hand! The Good Bad Guy thought he was being sneaky! But then Jacob CROSSBODIES Braun into the timekeeper’s aera! The fans go wild as Jacob rises up, and SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Jacob hauls Braun up, drags him around the way, HEADBUTTS him, then brings him over to SMACK off the desk! Braun staggers, but he ROCKS Jacob in return! And THROWS Jacob into steel steps! Braun drags Jacob up, puts him in the ring, but Jacob SUPERKICKS Braun! Braun falls into the corner, Jacob HIP ATTACKS! Jacob’s all geeked up, then he tags in Solo. Solo soaks up some heat while Jacob HIP ATTACKS Braun again! Solo puts Braun on ropes to CHOKE him! The ref counts, Solo stops at 4, but Jacob gets a HEADBUTT in! Braun flounders, Solo taunts him and eggs him on, but Braun CHOPS him!
Solo HEADBUTTS Braun right down! Solo rains down fists, then lets off so he can put Braun on the ropes. Solo CHOKES Braun again, stops as the ref counts 4, and Jacob gets another cheap shot in! Solo tags Jacob in, then he HEADBUTTS Braun again and again! Jacob runs to BODY CHECK Braun! Jacob fires up, Braun flounders to ropes, but Jacob rains down fists! Tag to Solo, he soaks up heat from NOLA, then he stomps away on Braun! The ref counts, Solo lets off, then he keeps Braun from Priest by anchoring a leg. Tag to Jacob and Jacob climbs up, FROG SPLASH! Jacob roars while Braun writhes!
Jacob looms over Braun but he glares at Priest. Priest gets heated, but Jacob fires hands on Braun as SmackDown returns to single picture. Braun stands, but Jacob HEADBUTTS him again! Jacob runs for another BODY CHECK! And then a SENTON! Cover, TWO! Braun stays in this and he goes to a corner. Jacob snarls, tags Solo in, and the fans boo. Solo runs corner to corner to HIP ATTACK Braun! Solo grins as he copies Jacob’s geeking out. Tag back to Jacob and fans cheer! Jacob aims, runs, and HIP ATTACKS! Jacob keeps going, but Braun BOOTS from below!! The fans fire up while both men stagger to their feet.
Braun SPINEBUSTERS Jacob! Both monsters are down, the fans rally up, and they crawl, hot tags to Solo and Priest! Priest fires hands on Solo, then whips. Solo reverses but Priest SHOUDLER TACKLES Solo! Priest runs to BACK ELBOW! Jacob is back, but Priest dodges to WHEEL KICK! Priest then waits on Solo, but Solo catches Priest! Priest elbows free, but Solo SUPERKICKS! But Priest JUMPING ROUNDHOUSES! Solo comes back, Priest ROCKS him first! Solo swings, but into the FLATLINER! Cover, TWO! Solo survives but Priest puts him in a corner. Priest whips corner to corner, then runs, only for Solo to put him on th eapron!
Solo takes as swing, Priest dodges and ROUNDHOUSES! Priest then knuckle locks with Solo, goes up top, and he tightrope walks for some OLD SCHOOL! The fans fire up and Priest powers up the arm! Priest runs, but Solo ducks the Comebacker! Priest fights the fireman’s carry to BELL CLAP, ROUNDHOUSE, and then he reels Solo in! But Tama is on the apron! Priest DECKS Tama, but Jacob HOTSHOTS Priest! Solo hits the URENAGE! Cover, TWO!! Priest survives and Solo is stunned! Solo snarls, looks to his taped-up thumb, then he drags Priest up. The fans boo but Solo taunts the fans now. SAMOAN- NO! Priest grabs Solo!
But Jacob runs in! Priest ROCKS Jacob, ELBOWS Solo, then he dodges, so Jacob’s SUPERKICK hits Solo! An accident just like last week’s shot to Tama, but Jacob doesn’t seem as upset by it. Priest TOSSES Jacob, then CLOBBERS Solo! STROWMAN EXPRESS CLOBBERS Jacob & Tama!! Priest brings down the straps, the fans are thunderous, and Priest grabs Solo by the neck! SOUTH OF HEAVEN!! Cover, Priest & Braun win!
Winners: Damian Priest & Braun Strowman, by pinfall
Just as Solo thought it’d be like before, he and Jacob were not on the same page! Priest is rolling towards Elimination Chamber, will this be just what he needs to go back to WrestleMania?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown here, but with some interesting moves after the sudden change in plans with The Rock showing up. Naomi and Bianca had a good promo to hype up what was meant to be a full match of Naomi VS Liv, but word had already come out before the show that things were being cut for time. But at the very least, they did the right thing of making it a brawl that adds heat to the tag title match on Monday. Also, hilarious how Chelsea & Piper thought the beatdown on Bianca & Naomi was so bad that they would need to be pulled from the Chamber. I also can’t wait to see what happens on Toronto SmackDown.
As for The Rock, I do appreciate he used his authority to kayfabe change more things, all so he could have his promo with Cody. I also appreciate Rock blending his different roles and even different sides, both Heel and Face, to A) bring the news of WM42 being in NOLA, and B) recreate the Corporate Champion/People’s Champion story from the Attitude Era. That was some wild stuff he was saying to Cody. I’m sure quite a few people will try and talk with Cody next week in the go-home. Heels will say do it because they’d love to have what Rock can give, Faces will say not because Cody’s better than that. But naturally, Cody is not going to become The Rock’s Champion, causing Rock to turn on him and really up things going into WrestleMania 41 and perhaps even beyond.
Good stuff in the Elimination Chamber related stories. Jimmy VS McIntyre was great stuff to open, and how fitting that McIntyre loses to Jimmy after talking all that trash about Jimmy and Jey being the same. Jey got McIntyre with something quick, Jimmy got McIntyre with something quick, McIntyre’s ego is obviously his weakness. And at the same time, McIntyre of course destroys Jimmy after because that’s his other personality trait. Priest had good promos with Cody and Braun, and we got great stuff from Solo’s Bloodline. Naturally, we got a miscommunication spot to help finish, we’re really close to Solo VS Jacob, I can feel it. Priest & Braun get the win, mostly because Priest isn’t winning in the Chamber when you’ve got Punk and Cena in there.
Very good stuff with Tiffy Time, from the promos leading into the match to Charlotte being ringside just to watch. Nia & Candice of course get the better of Tiff & Trish, because Tiff & Trish are definitely winning the tag match in Toronto. Charlotte just seems to enjoy trolling Tiff with her presence, so Charlotte probably shows up in Toronto to then confront Tiff after the match. I expect the seven weeks after Elimination Chamber to really heat up, as will Charlotte’s involvement, where she’ll get more active verbally and physically. Also, hell, Rock should go full Corporation and have Charlotte be his Corporate Women’s Champion because of how established she is.
Hilarious stuff from Truth tonight, as always. Truth and Melo having their “who’s on first” again was good stuff, and of course Miz gets in on this story, too. Truth & Knight VS “Melo Don’t Miz” was really fun, but yeah, should’ve figured Nakamura would get involved, too. Melo & Miz making it work could also be really fun, and while Knight VS Nakamura is a rehash, I really hope they find a way to up things. It feels like we’re getting the same with the tag titles as Profits “ruined” that great tag match from DIY and Pretty Deadly, then brawled with MCMG to still come out on top. Last year had a ladder tag title match, so why not do one for these titles this year?
Speaking of escalating, Kevin filming a promo outside Sami’s house was some really well done stuff, as expected of someone as good as Kevin and in such a story as him and Sami. Their match should main event, it needs time to breathe, as it could be just as, if not more violent, than the Chamber matches. What a powerful closing moment we could have if it’s a bloody Kevin and Sami, and one of them is standing over the other, triumphant yet mournful because it was their best friend in the world that they just brutalized.
My Score: 8.9/10

Andrew’s TNA LIVE! iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 2.20.2025
So the first live episode got fairly positive praise from everyone; will this continue the trend?
Filming at Full Sail seems to have set the stage nicely this week! Going into a Live episode we got Moose and The Hardy Boyz on NXT, as well as Jordynne Grace’s involvement with Steph and Giulia giving a little shine to TNA happenings since she’s newly WWE.
This episode should be interesting, we finally see Lei Ying Lee (fka Xia Li) back in action, Rascalz take on Tyson and Tyriek, Tessa should be seeing some action as well…so generally interesting happenings for the second Live iMPACT! of 2025. Let’s see how this one goes down!
No matter where @ManceWarner and @stephdelander go, @TheSamiCallihan WILL FIND THEM!

Results:
Oh yeah, and another Hendry concert is…cut off by a commercial, LOLTNA. First Hendry is cut off by AXSTV’s new Anime Hour bumper, and now Primo and Epico are showing up in TNA. I definitely didn’t have this on my BINGO card. The crowd starts chanting “Where’s Carlito”, which they do acknowledge and play off of well. Oh they’re using their shoot names of Orlando and Eddie now…but before they attack the lights go out and we get another guitar strum! ELIAH/ELIAS/EZEKIEL/EBENERZER/EMERY/EL VAGABUNDO – shows up to back up Hendry. Okay I can apologize away the redundant concert since it played into an Elijah debut. The crowd is immediately popping and chanting “This is Awesome” 10 minutes into the show.
Tyson & Tyriek w/Wes Lee vs The Rascalz w/Ace Austin
Treehouse bros take it to the bigger men quickly, a few fast dives, a little MCMG style tandem strikes, Tyson fires and tries to take them out but they Low Bridge him. Tyriek comes in and they try similar things but Tyriek manhandles them both and throws them out of the ring, Trey is the first one back up and Tyriek and Tyson take his damn head off with his Corkscrew Running Euro Upper. Trey finally manages to flip out of the manhandle, tags in Wentz and Wentz goes for the hot and spicy cleaning house spot. Corner to Corner Knee Lifts for both big men, a Rolling Snapmare, into a Superkick for Tyson and Standing Shoot Star on Tyriek but only for two because Wes feints like he’s going to interfere.
Tyson and Tyriek pull off a tandem Assisted Backdrop Driver, but Wentz breaks it up, Tyson gets knocked out, Wentz hits the Tornillo, Wes tries to interfere again after Trey gets perched on the corner buckle but Ace runs around and trips Wes at the last second causing him to faceplant on the apron, Trey hits the Meteora, Wentz hits a Swanton from the other side of the ring and Trey gets the pinfall victory.
It was fast paced, all gas no brakes, but it didn’t overstay its welcome, so it was pretty fun all things considered.
After the match Wes grabs a mic, complains a little but challenges them to a 6 man match as Sacrifice. So we’re THAT’S where we’re getting the expected 3v3.
Fir$t Cla$$ comes out with an entourage of hot chicks and probably influencers or something. The “First Class Penthouse” , Gabby AF, Mafiosa Valentina, and Carolina are apparently known in their own way. Gabby I know was the awful one who did something for Impact a last year and sucked, but she’s part of the Busted Open Network I believe so that’s why she’s around. Two of them look like Noelle Foley and Frank the Clown…oh they actually are. Look at that. I do love KC Navarro as the Hype Man, they have this whole set up of AJ being mad that they haven’t gotten more Tag Title shots, so TNA placated him with his own Piper’s Pit and he’s *pregnant pause* totally happy with that. He says he loved Piper and hated Hogan before it was cool.
This is actually quality content and AJ is cutting a nice promo in this segment. They introduce their first guest, the greatest performer in TNA history, many whole say he’s Phenomenal with a whole lot of style….it’s A-J-Francis.
.@AJFrancis410 is GOING OFF!

Lei Ying Lee vs Rosemary
Things were slow until Rosemary took her into a corner quickly, hit the Upside Down, and we get a lot of Lei trying to avoid Rosemary’s offense. Rosemary goes for a Spear in the corner and Lei forward rolls, starts connecting with a bunch of right hands, backs Rosemary into the corner, goes for 10 Count Punches, pulls her out, Airplane Spin TKO for only a two count. Rosemary tries As Above So Below, Lei shrugs it off, Rosemary tries to go after Lei anyway and eats Thunderstruck! Lei Ying Lee wins!
After the match Rosemary catches Lei on the ramp and hits the Green mist in the eyes. Match was far too short and so many of Lei’s set up moves look better than her finish. We’ve seen Kofi Kingston do it for years so it’s not bad, just the current Knockouts Division are awful and don’t take the move well.
Eric Young and the jabronis come out, EY cuts a very basic power crazed psycho kind of promo, gets the “What” chants from the crowds. EY is trying to recruit Maclin even though Maclin made his line in the sand last week. EY tries to spin it as maybe he took out Josh FOR Maclin instead of in spite of his trust. This really doesn’t seem interesting at all, but that’s probably because I hate the two Jabronis EY is with.
NoDQ Match: Leon Slater vs JDC
I really don’t have any interest in Slater. He’s got no personality beyond “flippy guy with a British accent”.
Dango immediately powders, grabs a chair and goes to swing on him but misses. So Leon is making JDC look dumb by dodging the post chop, using the chair to shield himself from a punch by JDC, and then clapping Dango’s fingers between the chair. So typical System match, look inept for the first few minutes, then take advantage of something to take over. Oh look, Leon takes too long setting up the table, Dango gets in a few pot shots, tries to whip him into the table but Leon leaps over it, and then leaps back over to clobber Dango. Dango is still trying to recover so Leon hits his over the corner post con hilo, and the crowd appreciates it but I’m not interested. Leon panders to the crowd after the big spot and then eats an X-Plex into the chair from Dango.
JDC throws Leon back in, goes for a pinfall that’s only a two and we cut to a commercial. Coming out of the commercial JDC is in control with a Kendo Stick until he isn’t, Leon counters and takes the keno stick, brutalizes Dango a few times then comes off the ropes with the kendo shot for 2. Leon goes for another table, and again, at least the crowd is receptive to this match. Leon sets it up, looks for something off the apron but Dango stops him first until he eats a dropkick to fall onto the table, Leon hits the Swanton 450 through the table on the outside. Does it look cool? Sure. Do I care about dumbass moves? Nope.
Oh thankfully the rest of The System comes out to stop the pinfall, Shield Bomb Leon through the first table, and roll him back in for Dango to win.
The Hardy Boyz come out to try and make the save, but the numbers are against them, so Oba Femi’s music hits! Oba cleans house but doesn’t get his hands on Moose, so they’re at least building the eventual clash between Moose and Oba.
The crowd starts a “Tessa, we comin for you” chant before she even starts talking. Tessa is actually playing off the crowd well, Santino’s music hits and Tessa thinks he’ll help her out with the crowd and Santino calls bullshit basically. Santino says if Tessa doesn’t wrestle next week, she’s fired and Masha’s music hits. Masha decides to step in for Tessa’s enhancement talent match.
Masha Slamovich vs Mila Moore
Jobber tries to attack Masha early but Masha stops her, rocks her and Requiem ends the match.
Masha stares down Tessa, and then Cora Jade attacks from behind and hits Jaded.
Ryan Nemeth comes out to his Abyss music remix. What will Mokuba say today? “MYYYY BIIIGG BBRROOOOTTHHHEEEEER” he repeats at least 4 times and it’s hilariously cringe. He announces that Nic will return at Sacrifice, he literally just came out to give a PSA.
Elijah & Joe Hendry vs The Colons
Hendry starts with Eddie, after a brief tie up it seems like Hendry reads the room and points at Elijah and the crowd wants him in. So Joe tags in Elijah, a little back and forth, Shoulder Tackle from Elijah, Rope Walk with Elijah lays out Eddie and a tag to Joe allows for a quick tandem knockdown, but Eddie powders as the Walking and Talking Duo hold the ring going into the final commercial break.
We come back and Hendry is bouncing Orlando off the ropes as he return a strike, but Orlando is obviously losing, eats a Euro Upper, and then gets walked around in the Stalling Suplex for posterity. Eddie tries a sneak attack but gets caught and Sack of Shit, into Kip Up, turn and then Orlando with the ambush! A few quick short cuts and an Irish Whip/Dropkick combo gives the Colons a near fall. Hendry does get locomotion variation cradles, but eats a Dropkick to stop the attempt at momentum. Orlando stays on Joe, but Joe finally starts to fire up as the crowd starts to get behind him. Euro Uppers make some space, but a Snapmare says no.
Eddie gets tagged in and a quick Leg Sweep into a Front Chancery keeps Eddie in control. As Joe tries to get back up, Eddie turns it into a Guillotine, but finally the Suplex counter connects for Hendry! Simultaneous tags! Elijah bulls over Orlando, catches a Leap Frogging Orlando with the Manhattan Drop as Orlando retreats to a corner, Stinger Splash into Spinebuster for two. Elijah tries to keep up the attacks but Orlando finds a few ways to make space, launches himself from the middle rope and eats the Jumping Knee! Eddie breaks up the pinfall, Hendry takes Eddie out and Elijah hits the Tombstone Piledriver for the win!
Overall Score: 6/10
Well there were more live hiccups than the first episode, and this felt both more epic and less epic at the same time. Elijah and the Colons debuting was a nice way to kick things off, Oba Femi showing up for the save was fantastic. There were a few decent matches, but also a lot of really short and rushed matches. Tessa played off the crowd well, but Masha really is useless on the mic. Lei Ying Lee needs to framed stronger, her matches have done nothing to show off her ability. It just proves that the Knockouts don’t know how to sell a kick to the head because they all take it in the shoulder and fall in corny ways.
Viva La Sam could be something fun if the next 3 weeks are just hand cam footage of him being like “I’m Sami Callihan and I’m gonna kick Mance Warner’s ass”, Elegance Clique getting the rematch with a stipulation is nice to see and while I like Fir$t Cla$$, that segment went a little long for a cornball swerve payoff. It’s one thing to placate the Influencer squad especially when we’ve seen Logan Paul and Ishowspeed do so well in WWE…but these are like Z Tier Influencers that no one cares about. These kind of dorks stream on Kick because they aren’t relevant enough for Twitch, not because they chose Kick over it.
So yeah, the low lights were pretty low, and the highs were a little fleeting, but at least they were pretty fun. Not a bad show, just clunky with noticeable issues and Masha shouldn’t be allowed to speak English anymore. She’s such a charisma vacuum when she’s not rambling in Russian.
