PLAY BY PLAY
The Judgment Day is here.
Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley & Dominik Mysterio head to the ring together, but no Finn Balor with them, just like last week. Granted, The Prince is preparing for his match with the American Nightmare, but this feels more like Finn still being upset with how things have gone in regards to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Either way, Rhea Rhea gets the mic to greet us to Raw, “The place that the Judgment Day runs. I know that lately, things haven’t been going our way.” Priest says to be honest, Finn should’ve walked out of SummerSlam the WHC. And last week, together, the Judgment Day should’ve won their match.
Clearly, communication has become an issue. But as long as Priest is Senor Money in the Bank, they will always dictate what goes on around here! So tonight, Finn will handle Cody Rhodes, as he should as one of the most dominant superstars of all time! But he should be out here telling you that himself. Don’t get it twisted, the Judgment Day isn’t breaking up. They’re all smarter than that. But Finn should be here. Rhea says this is not the time or place. Priest says no, they can’t pretend, the fans know something is up. There is something wrong in the Judgment Day, and it’s Finn!
Dom, back him up! They’re a familia! The three of them are here, so where’s Finn? Wait, is that JD McDonagh making his way out? Priest tells him, “Dude, I see you have a mic in hand so clearly you have something to say, but dawg, be careful what comes out your mouth.” McDonagh says he doesn’t mean to interrupt nor does he want to disrespect the most dominant faction on not just Raw, but in the entire WWE. McDonagh enters the ring to say he has a message for them from Finn. Finn said to tell them to not worry about Finn and McDonagh. Worry about the real targets: Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn.
McDonagh took out Sami, but through some miracle, the others made it through. The Judgment Day- Rhea tells JD that they do NOT take orders from anyone. Especially people that aren’t part of the group! Dom tells JD that- Oh wait he gets booed. Dom says they have this on lockdown. Mami is the most dominant champion in the WWE, Priest is a future world champion, and Dom is still NXT North American Champion! And Dom just found out that Canada’s part of North America, so that makes Dom the champ of this “dump” too! So just head to the back and let them handle business.
McDonagh says that is fine. No disrespect, just delivering a message. McDonagh leaves and Rhea says here’s a message to deliver to Finn: Tell him they need to talk. But as Rhea was saying- WAIT! Here comes Sami Zayn! And he brawls with McDonagh! Fans fire up as Sami gets the edge! Fans chant for “SAMI! SAMI!” and the Irish asks for help from the Judgment Day! They don’t give it! Sami DECKS McDonagh, then steps up to the apron. Priest tells him they’re good, for now. Sami goes after McDonagh again, but McDonagh SLAMS that bad arm into the post! And then hammerlocks, to POST it again!
Sami falls over, the Judgment Day leave this behind, is this about to be a match? We find out, after the break!

Chelsea Green meets with Adam Pearce.
Pearce wants her to take a breath and just hear him out. But she has worked way too hard to be WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion! Then let him just say it! As we all know, Sonya Deville was injured a few weeks ago when facing Charlotte Flair & Bianca Belair. And as we all know, Sonya tore her ACL and will be out for several months at least. So all apologies, but he has no choice- STOP! Don’t say it. This is so predictable. She worked too hard to just throw these titles away! If she was manager, she’d do such a better job. She is gonna call her lawyer, call HIS manager, and even Human Resources! No one should be doing what he is doing!
Then what is he supposed to do in this situation? She surely has a ton of ideas, so lay them on him. Well, actually… She would hold auditions! Chelsea’s Got Talent: Auditions for her next tag team partner! Then they will defend the titles and- A knock on the door? Please, come in. It’s KC Squared, Kayden Carter & Katana Chance! And they heard about what happened to Sonya. They figured with Chelsea here, as soon as she- PIPER NIVEN ATTACKS!! She blasts through KC Squared and says she’s the new partner. Well, Chelsea was going to take auditions, so if you want, leave your name and number, maybe your Instagram handle, and-
No, you’re not understanding. Piper snatches one of the belts, and says she IS the new partner. Now go! Piper pushes Chelsea along, and it seems we have a possible match-up while we’re at it. Will Kayden & Katana be able to take the titles now that the Hot Mess has the big bad Piper the Viper on her side?
Backstage interview with Cody Rhodes.
Byron Saxton is with the American Nightmare and brings up his match with Finn, and a “loose cannon” at that. Well you have to be a loose cannon to a degree to get anywhere in this business. Cody admires Finn, who was a leader in Ireland when he started his career. He was a leader in Japan, and now leading the Judgment Day, a group vying for supremacy on not just Raw but the WWE as a whole. But he isn’t the only leader. Damian Priest, Mr. MITB, that is an alpha dog. Rhea Ripley, a bonafide star! And… Dirty Dom. He’s, uh… Well, submissive? But a champion and dangerous none the less.
The group is dangerous, they’ve tried taking out Sami Zayn and have taken out Liv Morgan and Kevin Owens. Tonight, Cody will be ready for Finn. Cody hasn’t wrestled in Canada in years. He has friends here, he will make it count, and he will be ready for the Judgment Day. Cody heads out, will there be something Cody won’t be ready for tonight?
Imperium heads to the ring.
While Der Ring General will be facing Chad Gable in a defense of the Intercontinental Championship, Ludwig Kaiser & Giovanni Vinci have to handle their own business. Who will they use to make the mat sacred?
Raw returns and Gunther stands on the desk, mic in hand. Fans boo but Gunther grins. “On the journey of building the legacy as the best Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion of all time, Der Ring General has arrived in Winnipeg! And as a European, I’m always looking forward to coming to Canada. But after walking around the streets this morning and looking at all your faces, I really understand why they call this place the Armpit of Canada.” Fans boo but Gunther says he is here to address the next #1 contender for this title, Chad Gable. Fans cheer, and Gunther says he has to be honest, that was an impressive victory.
In general, Chad has worked hard for years. A former Olympian, and perhaps the best athlete the WWE has to offer. But Gunther achieved more in a year than Chad has his whole career! C’mon! You all believe he is a threat, that he will be the one that finally dethrones Gunther. RIDICULOUS! At the end of the day- “SHOOOOOOOOOOOOSH~! Please. A THANK YEW~!” Fans cheer as the Alpha Academy heads to the ring. Chad says two weeks ago, they put time on the clock and Gunther bet Chad couldn’t last five minutes, but then he did! Chad beat Gunther at his own game. But it’s funny, because now Gunther is on the clock!
Gunther is just weeks away from setting the all-time record for longest reigning Intercontinental Champion. Just one thing stands in his way, and that is a guy that’s been waiting for an opportunity for ten YEARS! That’s been working for a chance for ten YEARS! That is Chad nipping at Gunther’s heels, chasing him down, and coming to take that title, buddy! But lucky for Gunther, he’ll get that for another 24 hours. Tonight, it is Chad VS Vinci. So get that big, beautiful BALD head in the ring to catch a free lesson from Master Gable, A THANK YEW~!” Ludwig says nein nein nein! First off, Giovanni Vinci is the cream of the crop that the WWE has to offer.
Secondly, Chad, Vinci is going to prove that tonight when he embarrasses Chad. Just like Ludwig absolutely EMBARRASSED your freak of a friend, Otis, just last week. So eventually, Madame Maxxine… You will have to understand that you should surround yourself with some European elegance. Look at you, look at Ludwig, and look at them together. This is what Ludwig would call an A+ aesthetic. Maxxine rolls her eyes but Ludwig says the Alpha Academy is a sinking ship! But don’t worry, Ludwig is here, reaching out his hand to her. Take it and let him save you, or let that 360 pound anchor drag you down until you become what they already are: an absolute embarrassment!
Maxxine SLAPS Ludwig! Fans cheer and Chad says A THANK YEW~! Gunther is upset his guys just got punked like that, but will the Pride of Italy tear down this American Alpha?
Chad Gable w/ The Alpha Academy VS Giovanni Vinci w/ Imperium!

Gunther gets on the mic to shout that this is NOT how things end tonight! If this town is the Armpit of Canada, then Otis is the Armpit of Humanity! If Otis thinks this is fun, we’ll see how fun it is when Gunther scrubs his dumb face all over that mat! Gunther wants a match, right NOW! Fans fire up for that and the tree trunk says “OHHHH YEAAAH~!” Will Gunther regret taking on the human wrecking ball that is Chad Gable’s number one guy?

Rhea says ENOUGH! This is what everyone wants! They wanna see them crumble! But they are now the most dominant faction in the WWE. But no one is scared cuz why? Look at them right now! They’ve done so much right now! Rhea is Women’s World Champion. Priest is Senor MITB. Dom is North American Champion. But they’re losing their killer instinct.

McIntyre takes a moment, but then Matt Riddle walks over to say what’s up! He’s sorry for interrupting but he just feels a certain kinda way right now. Riddle wants to fix things. When you’re down, it’s always good to have a solid bro pick you up. And here is a solid idea! He wants start a new tag team! The Viking Raiders put out an open challenge, and Riddle accepted! And, bro, and, hear him out. Would McIntyre be Riddle’s partner?
Think about it, Bro! There’s all sorts of names! EdinBro, GlasBro, and all wearing kilts! That’s just the tip of the iceberg, too! McIntyre stops Riddle, and says if Riddle can’t find a partner by the match, McIntyre will consider it. So you’re saying there’s a chance? Riddle is all hyped, but will he get the Scottish Bro-rior as his new teammate? Will he get anyone to join him?
Indi Hartwell speaks.
“Most of my life, if you asked me, ‘Who is Indi Hartwell?’ I struggled to find the answer. But I’ve learned that it’s not the mountain we conquer, it’s ourselves. Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will, and I’m done with doubt. I was put on this Earth to achieve greatness, to live my purpose, and to do it courageously. I came from Melbourne, Australia for this moment, right here, right now. I am Indi Hartwell.” #IndiWrestling is going to take on the Eradicator, will she survive Rhea’s brutality?

Shinsuke Nakamura is here!
The King of Strong Style heads to the ring, feeling good about his cheap shot Kinshasa on Seth Rollins last week. Michael Cole will look to get answers, what will Nakamura have to say? We’ll see, after the break.
Raw returns and Cole is in the ring with Nakamura and gives him a proper introduction. But Nakamura, you’ve known Rollins your entire career. They’ve had tremendous respect for each other. So why on Earth did Nakamura attack Rollins like that? Nakamura says in Japanese, “I was fed up! Of various things. Maybe… Even of myself. So I asserted myself! Because I want my true nature!” And then in English, “I want the World Title.” Well, that said, did he need to hit Rollins in the head? Naze? Naze naze? (Why? Why why?)
Nakamura continues to rant in Japanese, “Because it’s the quickest way to prove yourself! I want more! I’m not satisfied! I can go higher! I’ll be who I want to be so…” Back to English, he will be World Heavyweight Champion. But here comes Rollins! Fans sing for the Visionary as he struts out in a white lace suit. Nakamura smirks and Rollins says Cole did a good job but he’ll take it from here. WINNIPEEEG~! Welcome to Monday Night Rollins! And then Rollins looks at Nakamura. Fans still sing, “OH~ OHH~ OHHH~!” Rollins tells Shinsuke he has to hand it to him. Last week, Nakamura played that to perfect. He set Rollins up and he knocked Rollins down.
But all in the name of the World Heavyweight Championship? That seems too obvious! Nakamura is not telling us the entire truth! Rollins says that in case you can’t tell, Rollins ain’t hard to find. In fact, every single week, Rollins stands right here in the center of this ring, dressed to the nines, world title around his waist, with the entire world singing his song! “WHOA~ OHH~ OHHH~!” And in case Nakamura wasn’t aware, Rollins is a fighting champion. And as such, up until last week, he had the utmost respect for Nakamura. If he wanted a shot, all he had to do was ask. But Nakamura didn’t ask! He just kicked Rollins in the face, and for a week, we’ve wanted to know why! #WhyShinsukeWhy!
Rollins is less concerned about why he got kicked in the face, and with more concerned on how he can get even. Rollins does have a surprise for Shin, though. Shinsuke wins. Because it occurred to Rollins that the best way to get what he wants is to give Nakamura what he wants. If that ambush was a challenge, then CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! HAHAHAHA! Fans love it! King of Strong Style VS The Visionary for the World Heavyweight Championship! Nakamura smiles, and Rollins says just name the time and place and Rollins will be there to kick Nakamura’s ass!
“So now that we both have what we want, why don’t we give the people what they want? How about you grow a set, you shake my hand like a man, you get the hell outta my ring, and you let Winnipeg sing my song?” The fans sing, Rollins offers a handshake and Nakamura takes it. Then pulls him in to whisper something to Rollins. Rollins seems rather stunned, just what did the King of Strong Style tell him? Nakamura leaves, Rollins tries to fathom what he just heard, and then he turns around into a KINSHASA!! Two weeks in a row! Will the third time be the charm when these two have their match?
Backstage interview with The Miz.
Byron is with the A-Lister and asks him about that altercation last week with LA Knight. Miz asks Byron what he means by that. Oh, how Miz “verbally tore down” LA Knight, showing he isn’t just better on the mic but in the ring? Um, no, Knight hit the BFT then shook your hand. Miz did NOT shake Knight’s hand, because Knight doesn’t deserve that. But is Byron an LA Knight guy now? Buying the merch? That after Knight beat Top Dolla last Friday, Knight’s a somebody now? Yeah. DON’T SAY “YEAH!!” Miz says that next week, Miz will beat a “somebody!” Someone here who is faster and stronger than anyone Knight has ever faced in his entire career!
And who knows, Miz might even show up on SmackDown. Or not. Either way, you know what it’ll be? Yeah. Er, uh… Awesome? Yeah… Miz storms off, will he one-up the Mega Star?

Ludwig goes on and on in German about how the frustrations with Alpha Academy, but Gunther tells him enough! He has heard enough. Tonight was an EMBARRASSMENT! Giovanni, what are we to do with you? Ever since coming to Raw, he has been a disappointment. And as for Ludwig, he neglected all his responsibilities out there because he was too focused on some girl! What’s going on with that? Which is more important? Tell Gunther. Ludwig apologizes, it should’ve never happened. And it will never happen again! Ludwig will make sure, he will go to Adam Pearce- NO. You will not, GUNTHER will.
Because like always, Gunther will sort this out himself. If Gable wants the title, he’ll have to take it off Gunther next week. The title match has a date, will Der Ring General end all the questions by his own hands?

And no run-ins, no outside interference, no count-outs! STEEL CAGE!! Trish & Zoey are angry again, but is this Big Time feud finally going to have an ending?
Cody Rhodes VS Finn Balor!
As we saw last week, The American Nightmare wants after the World Heavyweight Championship himself, but there are many obstacles in his way. One of those is The Prince himself, who Cody pinned in last week’s Six Man Tag main event. Will Cody pin Finn again? Or will a truly united Judgment Day shine through and be back on top?
Raw returns and Finn makes his entrance, surprisingly alone. The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, go around and along the ropes, then a corner, then back to center. The two break and fans rally. Cody and Finn circle, feel things out, and Finn gets around to a waistlock then headlock. Cody powers up and out, things speed up and Finn turns hip toss into hip toss! Cover, ONE, but Finn clamps onto an armlock. Finn grinds the arm, Cody fights up but Finn wrenches to wristlock. Fans rally, Cody cartwheels and he wrenches back to a hammerlock. Finn endures, elbows free, and shakes out the other arm.
Finn facelocks, but Cody suplexes first! And he holds Finn up for a count of TEN before the GOURDBUSTER! Finn staggers, Cody headlocks but Finn powers out.

Fans boo more but then Finn COUP DE GRACES from the steel steps! Finn says they’re the Judgment Day, and you don’t mess with them! Then they clear off the desk! They slam the hood on Sami, then drag Sami up. Finn grins as he feeds Sami to Priest, for a RAZOR’S EDGE through the desk!!! And then Finn goes back to the corner, aims at Cody again, COUP DE GRACE!!! That killer instinct seems to be just fine now! The Judgment Day all stands together, will no one else stand a chance?
My Thoughts:
A really good episode for Raw, but just one rather confusing move. Becky VS Trish finally happening again, and it had a good start, but a double count-out draw? And then Stark gets involved anyway after the ringside ban was lifted, it just seems they don’t want this feud to end. And not because it’s some barn burner, but like they are waiting on something. Is the WWE trying to convince Lita to rejoin the story? I have been saying they should do that, so hopefully it happens next week. Also, why is it, in the year 2023, WWE still thinks steel cage matches are good blowoff stipulations? Stark isn’t gonna be stopped by the cage, so it’ll have to be Lita that stops her.
On to the good stuff, really good promo from Chelsea Green, KC Squared and Piper Niven. Chelsea is going on her third tag partner now, hopefully this one has some stain power. We’ll get good matches from Chelsea & Piper VS Kayden & Katana, and I would think Piper helps Chelsea hold onto the belts. And for all the quick hype on Indi from her vignette promo to her talking with Raquel and Candice, that wasn’t as much of a match as I expected. But Candice got after Rhea, too, maybe Rhea VS Candice is next week for a slightly longer match. And then Raquel should be good by then so that we can move this towards Payback.
Great stuff from Imperium and Alpha Academy. Great promo, especially Maxxine slapping Ludwig. Great match from Chad VS Vinci, and then a great match from Otis VS Gunther right after. Chad and Gunther are both rolling into the Intercontinental Championship match that is now happening next week on TV, not at Payback. But given that, all the more reason to make me think Gunther retains. Maybe they muddy the finish so that Gable will be owed a rematch since Payback is not even 20 days away. Then they can go as wild as they want in a match that is the difference between Gunther breaking or not breaking the Honky Tonk record.
Good promo from McIntyre with Riddle, and it both is a lot like the RKBRO origins, but also rather different. I almost thought McIntyre was gonna turn Heel right on Riddle during the promo, but they had a really good tag match with the Viking Raiders. And they also had a great promo with New Day, who were going all Montgomery Riverfront Brawl cosplay tonight. They set up a tag match and that is going to be awesome, I can’t wait to see what comes of it. And also, the New Day always pointing out stuff from SmackDown, it makes me think they’re chomping at the bit to have a Survivor Series match with teams from SmackDown.
Good promo from Miz calling out LA Knight, and being annoyed by even just the word “yeah.” It sounds like he’s gonna try and take on Omos or something just to prove a point, and then fail. Such a good promo segment from Nakamura and Rollins. I like that Nakamura is calling back to the last time he was Heel, because I think the last time he was Heel, he did most of his promos in Japanese to troll us Muricans. I think I did a decent job of understanding, given all the NJPW and anime in my life. Point being, there was definitely more to what Nakamura was saying than just “I want the world title.” And good instincts of Rollins to sense that out, too. What’s really curious is what Nakamura said to Rollins in that whisper, can’t wait for Rollins to expound on that.
And of course, great stuff from the Judgment Day tonight, and I like the further integration of JD McDonagh into the story. Not quite the mess of mutual friendships clashing as we’re seeing in AEW, but a very good version of it with Finn being friends with the Irish Ace but still being friends with Judgment Day. Good match from Sami and McDonagh, and actually a good surprise that Sami wins because it spurs the promo backstage and how that feeds into the main event. Cody getting the win because of the haplessness from Judgment Day was downright hilarious to me, but McDonagh helps the group stand tall.
I fully expect Finn to argue that McDonagh should actually be part of the faction, and because of the help McDonagh gave, that wins the others over. And then at some point, there still comes the betrayal where Finn & McDonagh turn on Priest, maybe even keeping him from successfully cashing in so that Finn will have a clear path to the world title. Though of course, not really because Priest will want revenge. If they go that route. They could easily stick together longer, McDonagh being an option for Judgment Day taking the Intercontinental Championship or even the tag titles.

Zero Hour – Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara & Holo.grm VS The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling!
“Smart” Mark stops Arkady Aura from even starting as he introduces his team of Josh Woods, Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari.

Teammates and friends turning on each other is nothing new to pro-wrestling, but this right here might be The Galaxy’s Greatest Breakup. The Babe with The Power is the one who decided that she and Kris, the women who’ve been in the most Street Fights in AEW history, should end this in a Street Fight, but will she come to regret that?

Both women drop to their knees, leaning on each other, and the fans fire up!
Kris and Willow stand, and then Kris gut wrenches! TOMBSTONE!! And then using the chain, Kris CHOKES Willow and pulls her back!! Willow flails, she TAPS, Kris wins!!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by submission
Willow wanted this fight, but she could not win this fight! Stokely finally returns to celebrate with Kris, and she holds up the chain as her trophy. However, will Kris not be done with Willow while Willow is still CMLL Women’s World Champion?

Sammy stays in this but Uno stays on him. Uno drags Sammy back to stomp a leg! Tag to Silver, and Silver stays between Sammy and his team. But Sammy fires hands! Silver wobbles, Sammy fires more shots, and Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns as Reynolds back suplexes, but Sammy lands out! Uno back suplexes, Sammy lands out! Sammy ELBOWS Silver, dodges the rest, hot tag to Dustin!

The fans boo but Silver has Hologram on ropes! Silver gets moving, Dark Order TRIPLE KICK COMBO! GERMAN SUPLEX! Silver fires up, the fans are torn, and we see The Premier Athletes all watching. Reynolds & Uno get Hologram up for Silver to run, but Hologram avoids the pendulum! Dustin & Sammy DUMP Silver, Hologram dodges Evil Y Reynolds, and he gives Sammy a boost to MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Sammy & Hologram go to the apron! They SUPERKICK Uno & Silver, then go up the corners! DOUBLE ASAI MOONSAULTS!! Direct hits, and then DESTROYER for Reynolds!
Dustin calls to Sammy, Sammy goes up to FLYING CUTTER! Hologram goes up to 450 SPLASH!! Cover, Team Texas wins!
Winners: Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara & Holo.grm, by pinfall
A great debut on Rampage for Hologram, a great win overall for the ROH World Tag Team Champions, will they keep this going until they’re dripping with gold?
The Bang Bang Gang speaks.
Juice Robinson says here’s the thing about the AEW Trios Division: You need momentum on your side. You ain’t gonna get the job done with a win here and there. You need to string ’em together, snowball effect. W after W after W! Austin says chill. They all want W’s, but there is something serious to address. Austin still doesn’t have a nickname! They’ve got Fully Cocked Colten Gunn! Rock Hard Juice Robinson! And… What do they have for Austin? Colten thinks on it. But in steps The Cage of Agony. Bishop Kaun says he has an idea: Ass Boy Austin! Oh, clever, clever. No right, here’s one: Runner Up in the Top Prospect Tournament!
Wow, that was a long time ago, Kaun. Not relevant. The Machine says there has to be a better one. Kaun has it now: Nepo Baby. What? Like he’s got a famous mom or something? Kaun says okay, no, this is the best: Former AEW World Trios Champion. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s just everyone here right now. Colten says that’s tough talk coming from the team that lost the ROH World Six Man titles to them. Cage says hey, Colten, you might be a “body guy” compared to the rest of this roster, but stepping to The Machine, watch your tone. Shake weights don’t count, Cage. Cage says the only reason Bang Bang Gang won cuz they had six guys at the time!
Nowadays, the three Bang Bang Gang won’t beat The Cage of Agony. Then let’s find out! If you’re not down with that, they have two words for ya! GUNS- Wait! The Cage of Agony block the finger guns! They clap their hands and say, “Gates, OPEN!” Toa Liona roars, Juice roars back, sorta. Will the Collision Cowboys be able to bring down these three behemoths? Or will they be caught inside The Cage of Agony?
BREAKING NEWS!
Lexy Nair says for the Zero Hour, there will be a TRIOS TRIPLE THREAT! Standing by are two of the three teams, Top Flight Crew’s Darius, Dante & Action, and Shane Taylor Promotions with Beast Mortos. But then the third team can be heard coming as Roderick Strong shouts “BEEEEAST!” Roddy thought Mortos was Kingdom! Shane says Mortos followed the money, so can he help them? Matt Taven says Mortos hasn’t learned the value of a dollar! Mike Bennett says Shane can’t help them, but they can help Shane, because surprise, guess who the third team is? Yeah, it’s The Kingdom. And there’s a BIG winner’s purse put on this one.
Not that it’s going to more matching outfits, Top Flight. The Kingdom leaves, Action says check it. In the end, it doesn’t matter whose side The Beast is on, it won’t be the winning side. And Top Flight IS. They will fly home with that guac. CHACHING~! So buckle up. Lee Moriarty has Shane and Mortos calm down. Will #TAIGASTYLE have just the plan to come away with that big money cash prize?
Friday Night Fashion Fight: The MXM Collection VS The House of Black!
It’s hard to say there are any rules outside the norm for this match, other than to dress to impress. Will Mansoor & Mason Madden prove that no matter what, they’re always the best dressed in the locker room? Or will Brody King & Buddy Matthews give them a makeover involving bruises, lacerations and hospital gowns?
Wait, who is this weirdo in the trash bag and oversized wood sandals? Why is he being carried out here? These are the judges for this Fashion Fight?! Well, what do you expect from modern fashion these days? Anyway, the teams sort out, and the Iron Chic starts against the Aussie Juggernaut. The fans bark for the House of Black, and Mansoor dodges Buddy. Mansoor struts, POSES, and calls for a score. Tens across the board! Buddy scowls, waistlocks, Mansoor switches, but Buddy switches. Mansoor switches again, shoves, and POSES! Another score of tens across the board! Feels like they’re a bit biased, though…
Buddy and Mansoor tie up, Mansoor waistlocks, Buddy switches, but Mansoor ELBOWS free! Mansoor runs, sunset flips, but Buddy stays up! Buddy drags Mansoor up, TOSSES him, then blocks a boot! Buddy swings on Mansoor but Mansoor stays in the ropes! The ref counts, Buddy lets off, and the judges give Buddy all threes! Yeah, definitely biased. Mansoor headlocks, Buddy powers out, and they RAM shoulders! Buddy doesn’t budge, and he headlocks for a takeover! Mansoor headscissors, Buddy kips free, then he avoids the sweep. Buddy headlocks, Mansoor powers up and out, but Buddy CLOBBERS him!
Mansoor gets up, Buddy blocks the kick and FLIPS Mansoor! Mansoor scrambles away, asks for a score, and Buddy gets a total of 4! Mansoor says he is still better than Buddy, and he tags Mason in. The Mahogany Hunk calls out the King of Death, and the fans bark it up! Buddy tags Brody, and Mason is all fired up! Brody stares Mason down, but then Mansoor tags in? Mansoor steps up to Brody, says eat this, and CHOPS! But Brody doesn’t budge! The judges still give all tens! But Brody CHOPS Mansoor! Mansoor falls, the judges can’t hep but admit, that was a seven. Mansoor RIPS that seven, and finds the “YOU SUCK” one among them!
But then Mansoor turns around, and Brody CROSSBODIES them all!! That’s a ten, as in, a STRIKE! The fans fire up as Brody holds up the ten! Mason runs up but Buddy FLYING KNEES him down! Mason is in a daze, Buddy holds up the ten, and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Brody drags Mansoor up to run and RAM him into railing! Brody CHOPS Mansoor against apron, Buddy says ten! The fans cheer, “TEN! TEN! TEN!” Brody kicks Mansoor into the ring, drags him up, and CHOPS! TEN! Mansoor stings, he feels more like a two right now. Buddy tags, he drags Mansoor up and CHOPS him down! TEN! Mansoor bails out, the House pursues, and they put Mansoor back in. But Mason ancohrs Buddy! Buddy kicks Mason, but Mansoor DRAPING DDTS Buddy!! Tag to Mason, and he SENTONS! Anmd ELBOW DROPS! And covers, ONE!! Mason snarls, he tags Mason, and MXM double whip.
MXM DOUBLE ELBOW, POSE, but no judges to score it. DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Mansoor drags Buddy up, tags Mason in, and MXM mugs Buddy. Mason whips Mansoor in, but Buddy BOOTS him! Buddy goes up and over Mason, but Mansoor lifts Buddy! Mason runs, HIGH KICK SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Mason stares Brody down, drags Buddy up, and puts him on ropes. Mason CHOKES Buddy, lets off as the ref counts, and Mansoor hip attacks! Mansoor says kiss this, and Mason tags him in. MXM regroup on the apron, finger boop and DOUBLE HIP ATTACK! Buddy sputters as MXM clap them cheeks!
MXM go again, but Buddy mores! Mansoor takes the worse of that, and Buddy BLASTS them both off the apron! Mansoor hurries back in, and he CLOBBERS Buddy! Mansoor drags Buddy up, brings him over, and Mason steps in. MXM whips Buddy to the corner, then shake their booties. Rampage returns to single picture, Mansoor runs in, but Buddy BOOTS him down!

Winners: The House of Black, by pinfall
Talk about “Brutal fashion,” this was a victory as beautiful as it was vicious! Brody & Buddy proved #TheHouseAlwaysWins, but will they win their way back to title opportunities?
Will Ospreay speaks.
“I have been asked all day today, ‘How you feelin’, Will? You feelin’ alright?’ I dunno how you feel when you’ve taken a Poison-Rana on the stage and a brainbuster on some stage carts, mate, but yeah, hunky dury. I’m feeling great. I’m feeling great to cut these ties that bind myself to Pac. That’s history, right? See, Pac, everybody might know you as The Bastard right now, or maybe they know you as The Man Gravity Forgot. I know you as a UK backyard wrestler. You see, I could say words to you right now that’d perk your ears up that no one else knows. I could say stuff like Steve Farrow. I could say stuff like NAW.
“Because I’ve walked in your shoes. When I walked into that territory that you left, they’d say, ‘Man, you’re good. You ain’t Pac.’ They said the same thing on the UK independents. They said, ‘You’re good, but you’re not Pac.'” Ospreay made them all eat their words, and then he walked on the bridge Pac built, from England to Japan. Pac paved the way for him and Ospreay is thankful. But when Ospreay walked in there, they also said, “You’re good, but you’re not Pac.” Ospreay has been chasing Pac, and five years ago, Pac was Dragon Gate Dream Gate Champion, and Ospreay was NEVER Openweight Champion, and they didn’t get a decision. It was a 30 minute time limit draw.
You think Ospreay is satisfied with that? Nah, bruv! Ospreay’s still been chasing Pac! And here it is. Without even realizing it, Ospreay has lapped Pac. When Pac hit that rana, and Ospreay heard that crappy northern accent, “Don’t you underestimate me.” You thought Ospreay forgot? Nah, bruv. Ospreay could never forget Pac. Not all the work Pac’s done, not all the history they have. No one has forgotten about Pac. He just has been in this position so many times, we’ve lost faith. Wanna change it? Then there’s 24 hours left, bruv. These two may not have had their Wembley Moment together, but who walks away having won THE moment?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage as part of the go-home night to All Out, though they of course accommodated the bleed over from Collision. Good stuff, already talked about it all for the Collision article, and I also touched on Moxley & Marina jumping The Outrunners with that article, too. It was easy heat for Moxley & Marina beating up on The Outrunners, who just had their big moment, but Moxley touched on not celebrating mediocrity and being humble in victory. Darby Allin will probably respond by saying this is just Moxley being a bully. Anyway, good win for Aminata, and Deeb watching her sets up how they’ll be feuding soon enough.
Good promo of Bang Bang Gang and Cage of Agony, and they’ll have a very good match, probably naming the winners the #1 contenders to the World Trios Championships. More than I can say for Premier Athletes. What business do Nese, Daivari & Woods have watching Dustin & Sammy like they’re gonna get any of the ROH titles off them? Nese, Daivari & Woods lose to all sorts of established names, Dustin, Sammy & The Von Erichs will be no different. But still a really good, really fun Six Man Tag of Dustin, Sammy & Hologram beating Dark Order. Dark Order really is a trio that should’ve been given more, but oh well.
Good promo segment from Kingdom, STP and Top Flight, with another of these kayfabe’d money prize matches happening just because. Like, title opportunities not being won here? I know Roddy is waiting to go after the FTW Championship, but why not have him & The Kingdom try to move up from ROH titles to AEW titles in this match? Though, Top Flight might be right. They won that $3000 trios royale thing a year or so ago, they might win this one so that they keep making money and building their budget for more airline pilot gimmick gear.
And while I was expecting a fashion show themed Street Fight, I suppose judges giving scores was good enough of a gag for this match. The fashion themed Street Fight would’ve probably been better, though. But the House of Black would’ve won out anyway, so best to do it in a standard rules match. And then a great promo from Ospreay to properly frame this feud with Pac. I do wish they would’ve let this be the All In match but whatever, this will still be a show stealer of a match for All Out. But as I said for Collision, and even Dynamite on Wednesday, Pac has been standing tall so the math favors Ospreay retaining the title.
My Score: 8.7/10
