PLAY BY PLAY
Cody Rhodes is here!
Washington DC fires up for the American Nightmare as he goes to the ring, dressed in a suit but still with the pyro,
“WHOA~ OH~!” Cody then gets the mic to say, “So, Washington, DC… What do you guys wanna talk about?” Cody has an idea. He has a lot of wonderful memories in this arena, and he wants to give us a memory tonight. He will do so when he and his tag partner, Jey Uso, saying it here and now, they are going to win the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships tonight! Fans cheer that, and chant for Cody, before he continues. That’s the immediate future, but there is “The Match Beyond,” WarGames.
So without further ado, Cody introduces his team! Jey makes his way out now and the fans fire up again! Then Sami Zayn makes his entrance, and of course, Seth Rollins makes his entrance! Fans sing “OH~ OHH~ OHHH~!” as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion makes his way out. Rollins joins the team in the ring, though he doesn’t seem to pay Cody any mind. Fans continue to sing and Rollins smiles. Rollins has a mic to say, “You’re too kind, DC.” Cody says they are all here in the ring for one reason: The Judgment Day.
Whether Cody has gotten along with them their whole careers (Sami), just recently become friends (Jey), or… Rollins takes the sunglasses off to stare Cody down. Before Cody can continue, The Judgment Day makes their entrance! Finn Balor tells the boys, “Take a look at these four clowns! They can’t even look each other in the eye. How on earth do ya think you’re gonna beat The Judgment Day at WarGames.” Damian Priest says to get real. Cody’s team are a bunch of randos thrown together. This is a family they’re up against! They don’t realize what they’re getting themselves into. Priest promises, when the cage closes, Judgment Day will finally be done with each and every one of ’em!
Finn chuckles and asks “Seth Freakin’ Rollins, how does it feel to be World Heavyweight Champion? But standing next to Cody Rhodes, the one man that you could never beat?” Speaking of, Priest asks Cody that he could beat these guys in any match he wants, but the one thing he can’t do is be champion! And Finn tells Sami that he may call himself a World Heavyweight Championship level superstar, but after that performance last week, everyone knows that Sami’s nothing but a loser! And Priest says not to forget Main Event Jey Uso. The fans chant “YEET! YEET!” but Priest asks the group a question.
“Can you really trust this guy knowing that he screwed each and every one of you in the name of his Bloodline?” Fans boo but Dom says, “The truth is-” The boos drown him out! JD McDonagh keeps Dom calm, but the booing doesn’t let up. Then the chants of “YOU SUCK!” join in. Sami says the truth is, no one wants to hear Dom talk! Fans cheer that! Sami says they see what’s going on here. Judgment Day is stirring up trouble. They can put the issues aside because this match is about power. All Judgment Day is about is power. And yeah, they managed to get a lot of power when they can cheat and play the numbers game
But at Survivor Series, it is WARGAMES!! And the Judgment Day doesn’t know what they’re in for! Two rings, one cage, and the most BRUTAL match of your lives!! And you find out the hard way that the power here on Raw lies with the four guys you’re looking at right now! Cody says speaking of, he is shocked Judgment Day figured out how to get down here without Mami Rhea. She is their leader, right? No, she’ snot the leader! Oh, so you’re gonna say the Judgment Day has no leader? Well when Rhea isn’t here, the orders must go to Dom. Is Dom the leader? NO! Oh, okay, so then if it’s not Dom, Finn or Priest, then is it McDonagh?
Priest shouts that HE’S the leader! Jey says Cody has Priest all hot. YEET. Priest says at WarGames- Rollins tells him to shut up and tells everyone to shut up! He’s sick of all the talking! Rollins is dressed in the fight! Four have fights, four don’t. Rollins and Sami are dressed for a fight, so maybe they can slap the taste out of McDonagh & Dom! Let’s go! Priest says they ACCEPT! Dom & McDonagh are shocked but Rollins says just get Pearce to make this official! Fans sing “OH~ OHH~ OHHH~!” while the Judgment Day backs away, but is the Punisher overstepping? Or is he about to cost Judgment Day momentum going into Survivor Series?
Seth Rollins & Sami Zayn VS Dominik Mysterio & JD McDonagh!
Raw returns and the match is made! Rollins and McDonagh tie up, McDonagh wrenches but Rollins headlocks. McDonagh powers out but Rollins runs him over. Things speed up, McDonagh hurdles but Rollins turns hip toss into hip toss! Rollins storms up in the corner, whips McDonagh to ropes, then back drops him! Fans fire up and Rollins kicks McDonagh low. But Dom gets McDonagh outta there before a Pedigree can hit. Fans boo but Rollins goes out to get at Dom! McDonagh CLUBS Rollins in the back! And then RAMS him into the apron! McDonagh puts Rollins in the ring, CLUBS him again, and Rollins ends up in a corner.
McDonagh corners Rollins, tags Dom, and fans boo as hard as they can. Dom is annoyed but he stomps away on Rollins. The ref counts, Dom lets off to taunt Sami, then he goes back to Rollins. Dom whips, Rollins reverses and CLOBBERS Dom! Rollins wrenches, tags Sami, and Sami goes up to AX HANDLE Dom down! Sami bumps Dom off buckles, rains down fists in the corner, and fans count all the way to TEN! Sami then bumps Dom off buckles, goes up and AX HANDLES again! Sami brings Dom over, tag to Rollins, and they mug Dom more. Rollins facelocks but Dom powers Rollins to the corner, tag to McDonagh!
McDonagh stomps away on Rollins, the ref counts, but McDonagh lets off to argue with the ref. Fans boo but McDonagh drops a knee on Rollins. Tag to Dom, Dom ROCKS Rollins, reels him in, and snap suplexes! Uno Amigo! Fans boo but Dom hits Dos Amigos! Dom drags Rollins up again, gives some Latino Heat, but Rollins suplexes for a FALCON ARROW! Hot tag to Sami! Sami runs, dodges Dom, and BLASTS McDonagh! Sami fires off on Dom, whips him to ropes but Dom reverses. Sami goes up and over to LARIAT! Fans fire up, but Dom resists the lift. McDonagh helps get Dom out and fans boo again.
Sami and Rollins protest but Dom & McDonagh decide they’re done. They’re leaving, but Sami & Rollins pursue! They attack at the ramp! Fans fire up, Sami RAMS Dom into barriers! Rollins gives McDonagh SNAKE EYES off barriers! Sami CORNER EXPLODERS! Dom flounders up and fans are thunderous for the HELLUVA- NO, Dom ducks and runs away. Sami is annoyed, but McDonagh runs in, Sami dodges, Rollins clotheslines McDonagh up and out. Sami & Rollins coordinate now, and they DOUBLE TOPE! Direct hit and DC is all fired up as Raw goes to break!
Raw returns and McDonagh whips Sami. Sami catches the dropkick to make it a CATAPULT into buckles! McDonagh wobbles, Sami crawls, both men go to their corners, hot tags to Dom and ROllisn! ROllisn BOOTS Dom, clinches and URENAGES! Then a SLINGBLADE! McDonagh runs up, inot am ule kick, front kick and DISCUS LARIAT! Rollins TOSSES McDonagh, then goes after Dom. Fireman’s carry and GUTBUSTER! Then a RUNNING KNEE! Fans fire up for Rollins as he brings Dom in. POWER- NO, Dom fights with fists and McDonagh reels Rollins into the corner. But Sami goes after McDonagh!
Dom has Rollins down while Sami POSTS McDonagh! Rollins kicks back, underhooks, but Dom drops under and gets around, drop toehold! Rollins is on ropes, Dom dials it up, into a SUPERKICK! And then the lift and BUCKLE BOM! Rollins has Dom down and the fans sing, “OH~ OHH~ OHHH~!” But wait, Finn & Priest return from the crowd to attack! And Rhea is here, too!
Winners: Seth Rollins & Sami Zayn, by disqualification
The Judgment Day mugs Rollins, Sami goes out but gets added to that! So Jey & Cody return! They CLOBBER Dom & McDonagh and it is a fierce brawl, just like last week! As such, Adam Pearce and more refs rush out here, but this isn’t settling down! Security rushes out, Jey has Priest in the ring to SUPERKICK! And SPEAR MCDONAGH as he takes the shot for Priest! The producers get involved, and Pearce shouts “ENOUGH! ENOUGH! I told you I’m sick of the games! Another night, another ruined match! Well the championship match tonight is so, and THEY (the fans) deserve better!!” The fans cheer that!
So here’s what we’re gonna do so this doesn’t happen again. Everyone involved in WarGames is BANNED from ringside! And more than that, they need to be out of the building! They’re BANNED from the arena! Rhea shouts at Pearce but Pearce tells her that there’s nothing she can do about it! Will tonight’s main event truly be a fair fight now?
Raw returns as Rhea is shouting!
Mami says, “This is absolute crap, Pearce!” Monday Night Raw NEEDS the Judgment Day, you can’t just ban them! So she’s saying she doesn’t like it? Of course not! “Well frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn!” Rhea doesn’t run Raw, Judgment Day doesn’t run Raw, PEARCE runs Raw! And Rhea may not like it, but she better not sure her pretty little face during tonight’s main event or else- Wait, here comes Zoey Stark! Rhea has no idea what this is about. Zoey says Rhea isn’t as dumb as she looks, but we all know why Zoey’s out here. Pearce says there’s been enough turmoil, but Rhea says shush, she’s had enough out of him. Rhea wants to hear what Zoey has to say!
Zoey gets in the ring with Rhea, and she says we all know that Zoey is inside Rhea’s head. Rhea’s spread too thin, worried about too many things. WarGames, the tag titles, and little Dom-Dom. And now she is worried about her title. Zoey made it through all the women on Raw to earn this match. And if Rhea thinks for one little second that she’s gonna overlook her- Rhea stops Zoey there. Rhea does not overlook anyone. She has been watching Zoey since NXT, and knew that it was just a matter of time before they were standing in this ring. Zoey accomplished a lot her rookie year. She sent Trish Stratus packing!
Zoey even beat The Man, Becky Lynch. And she’s cemented herself as one of the top women here in the WWE. It’s funny, though, because now Rhea thinks about it, Zoey reminds her of herself! Zoey is a future champion. But the only way she’ll win a championship in the WEW is if she’s on the other brand! Because Mami is Always on Top! Zoey chuckles but Rhea says no, she’s not overlooking Zoey or spreading herself thin. Rhea can handle the Judgment Day, the tag titles, WarGames, Dom, politics and this title because she’s RHEA BLOODY RIPLEY! So now that Zoey’s come in here and said her piece, time to get out of Rhea’s ring and let her continue handling business!
Rhea argues with Pearce again but Zoey says she’ll say this. She nearly took that title at crown Jewel, and she WILL become champion at Survivor Series. Rhea rushes Zoey, Zoey DUMPS her out! And then goes up and up, but hops down as Rhea runs away. Zoey says it only takes three seconds! Will the Hunter take down her prey and then take that Women’s World Championship?
Shinsuke Nakamura speaks.
“I’m frustrated. You are blessed with so much privilege. So, I am taking away your choice. The opportunity is mine now. These distractions have not taken my focus off you. Win or lose your next battle, you will only be less than. Not my problem. I will wait, for now. Because SI know it all ends by my hands.” The King of Strong Style has sent his ultimatum, but to who? And is he overlooking the tree trunk that stands in his way? We find out, after the break!
Seth Rollins & Sami Zayn regroup backstage.
Banned from the arena? Dom is one thing, but them, too? Cody finds them and asks Sami if he could have a minute with Rollins. Sami asks if they’re good, and Cody says they are. Sami heads out and Cody asks Rollins if they can talk. Rollins asks Cody what he’s doing. Doesn’t he have to prepare for the tag title match? Yeah, and winning those tag titles is step one to tearing down The Judgment Day. Rollins tells Cody to cut it out, that’s not what this is about. Just ask! Cody says okay, he just needs Rollins for one night. 364 other days in the year, they can hate each other. But for WarGames, Cody and the team needs Rollins. Enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?
Rollins sighs, and says he doesn’t like Cody. He doesn’t know if he ever will. But he respects Cody. If Cody needs them to get along for one night, then at WarGames, Rollins promises Cody, they’re good. Now go win those damn titles. Rollins leaves, and Cody nods. Will this all work out for The American Nightmare and Visionary?
Otis w/ The Alpha Academy VS Shinsuke Nakamura!
Raw returns and Nakamura makes his entrance. The bell rings and fans rally up as the two circle. They tie up, Otis doesn’t budge so Nakamura lets off in frustration. They circle again, Nakamura calls for knuckle locks and Otis accepts. But then Nakamura kicks low, fires off body shots, but Otis doesn’t budge! Otis backs Nakamura down, HEADBUTTS him, then whips! Nakamura reverses to KICK and KICK, but Otis blocks! So Nakamura ENZIGURIS! Nakamura wrenches but Otis holds off the wristlock to scoop and SLAM! Fans fire up and Otis sees Nakamura is in the corner. Otis runs in, HIP ATTACK!
Otis gives Nakamura some GOOD VIBRATIONS! Fans fire up but Nakamura is annoyed. Otis runs back in to SPLASH! Fans fire up as Otis storms around, and then he CLUBS away on Nakamura! Nakamura falls, and the Alpha Academy fires up! CATERPILLAR- NO, Nakamura gets out of the ring! Otis goes out to CLOBBER Nakamura! Fans fire up with The Dozer, Tozawa does his shuffle, and Gable says “SHOOOSH~!” as Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and Nakamura kicks Otis around, then kicks him some more. Nakamura taunts Otis, runs up, but Otis blocks a kick! And he pops Nakamura up to POWERBOMB! Both men are down and the fans fire up! The Academy coaches Otis but Nakamura rises first. Otis runs in, breaks the clothesline and RAMS Nakamura! Then he ducks the roundhouse to run Nakamura over! The fans cheer, Otis hits the WRECKER ELBOW! And another! Otis whips Nakamura to a corner, then ELBOWS him in the corner! And then a LARIAT! Off comes the shirt and Otis will try this again! CATERPILLAR ELBOW! Cover, TWO!!
Nakamura survives and shocks Otis! The Academy coaches Otis again, he stands Nakamura up in a corner. Otis puts Nakamura up top, climbs up, but Nakamura manages to slip under and YANK Otis down! Otis hits buckles, ducks a roundhouse but not the WHEEL KICK! Nakamura fires up and he aims from the corner. “YAO~!” But Otis scoops to WORLD’S STRONGEST SLAM!! Cover, TWO!! Nakamura survives but Otis drags him to a drop zone. Otis goes up, to VADER BOMB, into boots! Nakamura goes up, FLYING KNEE! Otis stays up, roars and runs, but into a kick! Nakamura kicks the legs out, to BLINDSIDE KINSHASA!!
Otis is still awake!? Nakamura runs up to KINSHASA from the front!! Cover, Nakamura wins!
Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura, by pinfall
It took three times what it’d normally take to knock Otis down, but Otis still fell! Will Nakamura reveal who he’s after? He pie faces Gable and says, “Shoosh!” The Academy has to keep Gable back, will he look to take Nakamura on now? Will the King of Strong Style sweep the Academy?
Rollins heads for the exit.
But Drew McIntyre finds him first. McIntyre brings up how Rollins said if McIntyre lost, he’d have no one to blame but himself. And also, that it may be the best thing that ever happens to him. Maybe Rollins is right. But here’s something McIntyre has been wanting to give Rollins since Saturday: a handshake. Rollins is a bit surprised, but he accepts it. McIntyre says Rollins represents the title the way a world champion should. And McIntyre will just do what he always does: work his arse off, fight his way back up, and earn another opportunity. Rollins says McIntyre will, that’s for sure. Rollins then heads out. When and where will the Architect and Scottish Warrior face off again?
Tegan Nox w/ Natalya VS Piper Niven w/ Chelsea Green!
The Welsh Firecracker is back, and she’s been meaning to give the Scottish Viper some payback! Will Nox knock Piper down a peg? Or will she and the Queen of Harts go 1-1 with the Women’s Tag Team Champions?
Raw returns and Nox makes her entrance, Natty by her side. Chelsea is talking a lot of smack even though she’s not in the match and lost to Natty last time. The bell rings and Nox runs up to SHOTGUN Piper! Piper stays up so Nox UPPERCUTS then GAMANGIRIS! Nox keeps moving, and she CANNONBALLS in the corner! Cover, ONE!! Nox hurries up to fire off on Piper, and she backs Piper down to a corner. Piper shoves Nox away, but Nox returns. Piper puts Nox on the apron, HEADBUTTS her, and then steadies herself. Piper drags Nox up, and suplexes hard! Nox writhes, Piper runs up, SENTON! Cover, TWO!!
Nox shows her toughness but Chelsea argues the count. Piper drags Nox around, SLAMS an arm on the mat, then SLAMS it again. Piper stands on the arm, digs her heel into it, then drops knees on the elbow! Piper clamps onto Nox for a COBRA CLUTCH! Nox endures, the fans rally, but Piper leans on the hold. Natty gets the fans fired up more and Nox fires body shots. Piper ripcords and short arm LARIATS! Cover, TWO! Piper is frustrated but Chelsea says she still has this. Piper stomps Nox, Chelsea talks some smack again, and Piper HEADBUTTS! Nox still throws body shots! Nox fires off, then runs, but Piper catches her!
Piper pops Nox around, SHOUDLER BUSTER! Cover, TWO! Nox is still in this and she kicks at Piper. Piper wobbles and falls back, and the fans rally with Natty again. Nox kicks Piper more, but Piper drags her up. Piper chicken wings the arms, GLAM- NO, Nox victory rolls it, TWO! Nox keeps moving to KNEE!! Cover, TWO!! That wasn’t the Shiniest Wizard so that didn’t finish this. Chelsea talks trash right on the apron, and Piper CLOBBERS Nox! So Natty storms up on Chelsea! Natty DECKS Chelsea, Piper BLASTS Natty! Piper turns around, runs at Nox, but Nox avoids the splash! SHINIEST WIZARD!! Cover, ROPEBREAK!!
Piper survives and Nox can’t believe she didn’t see that! Nox drags Piper up, reels her in and says she’ll end this! But Piper back drops! Nox sunset flips, but Piper stays up! HIP DROP FLOPS as Nox moves! Ghost pin, NOX WINS!
Winner: Tegan Nox, by pinfall
And now the tag team champions have lost twice! Will Nox & Natty get their shot at those titles to then shut Chelsea up & shut Piper down?
Backstage interview with The Miz
Jackie Redmond is with the #1 contender to the Intercontinental Championship, and says that with the chance to become NINE-TIME IC Champion, what is driving him to dethrone Gunther? Miz says a bus. He’s worked so hard to earn himself a bus. But he knows she means the match, so he says it is about respect. He wants to restore respect to his legacy for holding that title, a legacy Gunther is trying to diminish with name calling. That Miz is a “sports entertainer, a clown, a joke, get to the choppah!” But Ivar says Miz IS a clown. The Viking Raider says Miz IS a joke, thinking he can make it past Ivar. Ivar promises, Miz won’t even make it to Survivor Series.
Miz says everyone is just pouring on Miz, but- Bronson Reed walks in to say hey, hey, hey. Um, hi, Bronson. You’re kinda interrupting something. Yes, because Bronson has to let them both know that they’re lucky to even be standing. The only one luckier is Gunther for escaping him last time. Escaping him? Ivar poitns out Bronson had his match, and he doesn’t have the title on his shoulders. Oh stand down, big man, before you get sent back a failure to your Norse gods. Valhalla, smarten your boy up. Ivar dares Bronson to do it for them. Oh he so could. Miz slips away as Ivar pie faces Bronson, and then Sarah Logan steps in.
The situation settles down, for now. Will Miz be able to survive the raid? Will the War Beard prove he should be facing Gunther? Or will they all have to worry about a Tsunami coming back around?
Tommaso Ciampa w/ Johnny Gargano VS Ludwig Kaiser w/ Giovanni Vinci!
The Sicilian Psycho is definitely angry that the Impeccable German had to stick his nose in the match between DIY and Creed Brothers. Will Ciampa make Ludwig pay? Or will the Pride of Italy pull his weight and make sure that doesn’t happen?
Raw returns and Imperium makes their entrance. Both teams want at each other but the ref tells them all to back off! Vinci and Gargano stand down, the bell rings, and Ciampa rushes in! Ludwig bails out, Ciampa pursues, but they get back in the ring. Ludwig clinches but Ciampa fires hands and CHOPS! Ludwig kicks low, CLUBS Ciampa, then whips, only for Ciampa to reverse and throw Ludwig out! Ludwig holds onto ropes, Ciampa KNEES him down! Ciampa goes out to SMACK Ludwig off the commentary desk! Ciampa puts Ludwig in, goes after him in a corner and CHOPS! Ciampa then hoists Ludwig up top, but Ludwig pulls ears!
The ref reprimands, Ludwig smothers Ciampa but Ciampa pushes back. Ludwig blocks a kick to shout “NEIN!” and he DECKS Ciampa! Ludwig drags Ciampa up, bumps him off buckles, and then fires hands. Ludwig kicks away on Ciampa at the ropes, but the ref backs him down. Ludwig drags Ciampa up, whips, but Ciampa slides under to CHOP! And JAWBREAKER! Ciampa runs to LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Ludwig hangs tough and clamps on with a chinlock. Ludwig fishhooks free and he CLUBS Ciampa down. Ludwig runs to PENALTY KICK! Ludwig says this is HIS ring, but the fans boo.
Ludwig stalks Ciampa to ropes, whips him but Ciampa KICKS back! Ciampa runs but Ludwig distracts the ref and Vinci hooks a leg! Ciampa is furious but Ludwig DISCUS LARIATS! Gargano points out what happened so the ref EJECTS Vinci! Ludwig is furious with Gargano but now he’s all alone as Raw goes to break!

Ciampa hauls Ludwig up, but Vinci returns to BOOT Gargano! Fans boo, Ciampa is distracted, Ludwig rolls Ciampa up, with tights! Ludwig wins!!
Winner: Ludwig Kaiser, by pinfall
Vinci helps Ludwig out after all, and Imperium stands tall. Will this take the pressure off? Or will DIY make sure to break them personally?
Judgment Day talks backstage.
Dom is upset that Zoey Stark confronted Rhea like that. Who does she thinks he is? Rhea says it’s fine, though. Rhea will handle Zoey. But since Dom & JD are now banned from both ringside and the arena, they need to focus on the tag titles tonight. So maybe… they should see what the fearless leader’s thoughts are. Yeah, didn’t Priest say they don’t make matches for each other? Priest says take it easy. he got hot, said what he said, but he didn’t mean it. Yeah, sure… But Rhea does admit, it does sound good for WarGames. If everyone’s okay, Priest is the man for the job. Finn and Dom are cool. So that’s the plan. Priest is in charge in WarGames.
And what about that other thing they need to take care of? Oh, Finn means JD? Priest asks if they’re really doing this. Rhea says yeah, because JD McDonagh took the shot for Priest. Priest could be in medical and then what becomes of the tag titles? Finn brings up how JD’s proven himself time and time again. Even Dom agrees, time to make him a full fledged member. Fine. Rhea says they’ll go give JD the good news. Priest says hold on. He’ll handle this. JD earned that much. Priest heads out, will the Irish Ace being officially Judgment Day help them take over at Survivor Series?
Xia Li VS Indi Hartwell w/ Candice LeRae!
First, she knocked out The Poison Pixie, Candice LeRae. Then she knocked out The Man, Becky Lynch! Will The Exterminator make it three for three by knocking out #IndiWrestling? Or will Indi be even more Impressive against such a formidable foe?
Raw returns and Indi makes her entrance, Candice by her side. The bell rings and Indi BOOTS Xia down! Cover, ONE! Xia goes to the apron, Indi has her in the ropes to UPPERCUT and BOOT! Xia falls to the floor, Indi goes out and fireman’s carries. But Xia slips free to SHOVE Indi into steel steps! Xia fires up, the ring count climbs, and Xia puts Indi back in the ring. Xia runs up in the corner, stomps away, but the ref counts. Xia JUMP STMOPS, then she lets off. Xia seethes, then stomps away on Indi again. The ref counts, Xia lets off at 4, and then she runs back in. JUMP KNEE, and ELBOW JAB! Xia then snap suplexes Indi, covers, ONE!
Indi hangs tough but Xia just gets angrier. Xia storms up on Indi again, whips her corner to corner hard, then runs in to KNEE Indi again! Another whip, but Indi dodges and the knee hits buckles!

Winner: Xia Li, by referee stoppage
Fans boo but Xia has made another former NXT Women’s Champion into another victim! Will Xia look to do this to the current NXT Women’s Champion, Lyra Valkyria? Wait, speaking of a former champion, HERE COMES BECKY! The Man has a mic tells Xia, “Thank you for hitting me in the head last week. Because now, we’re not gonna wait to do it on your time. We’re gonna do it on MY time! And well, the Man has come around to Washington, DC… And I came here looking for a fight!” Becky runs in, dodges Xia and clinches, but Xia slips free! Xia shoves and runs for it! Fans boo but it seems the Exterminator still does things on her time. But will Xia be ready for The Big Time?
Becky says if that’s how Xia wants to be, then she’s only got seven more days! Because it’s already official! Next week on Raw, Becky VS Xia! Welcome to the Big Time! Will Becky have her revenge on Xia just days before Survivor Series?
The Miz prepares backstage.
And then in walks Gunther. Gunther congratulates “Mike,” because to the surprise of everyone, Miz won. And even though it wasn’t the most decisive victory, face facts: fun and games are over. Miz is now the rightful challenger to what is rightfully Gunther’s. Miz shouts for Gunther to watch the match tonight. Because Gunther doesn’t understand who he is dealing with. Miz does whatever it takes to win, and he does what no one else will to capitalize on moment after moment, for 20 YEARS! There’s a reason Miz has held the Intercontinental Championship EIGHT times. And so at Survivor Series, Gunther learns the difference between “longest reigning” and “greatest of all time.”
Gunther knows exactly who he is dealing with. So good luck tonight. Because whatever happens out there tonight will not compare to the beating of a lifetime Miz receives at Survivor Series. Gunther heads out, will the Hollywood A-Lister make him change his opinions after tonight?
Zoey Stark talks with Shayna Baszler backstage.
Zoey says Rhea has no idea what’s coming for her at Survivor Series. After that battle royal, she feels unstoppable! Unstoppable? C’mon! First off, Shayna should be champion after Crown Jewel, and Zoey knows she had that finish. And second, Shayna almost had Zoey last week in the battle royal. But to admit it, Zoey has been on a roll. So Shayna is looking forward to seeing Zoey beat Rhea. Aw thanks, dude! Zoey knew that was hard for her to say. Raquel walks in and says she still feels some kinda way about the two of them teaming up to eliminate her. But at the same time, Zoey has been showing out, and Rhea will have her hands full.
Zoey thanks Raquel, but then in walks Nia. “Wow…! Oh my gosh. You all are so pathetic.” She mocks their compliments, and says she’s already squashed Zoey. Everyone already knows Nia should’ve been the one facing Zoey, if not for the cowards ganging up on her in the battle royal. And we all know none could beat her 1v1. Then why isn’t she champion? Oh, because no one’s really tested her. No one’s pushed her. But Raquel isn’t afraid. And when they fight, Raquel will beat Nia. Nia says that’s cute, then leaves. Will Big Mami Cool prove Nia isn’t the Irresistible Force as she thinks?
The Miz VS Ivar w/ Sarah Logan!
Raw returns and Miz makes his entrance. The bell rings and the two circle. Fans rally, the two approach and Miz dodges to ROCK Ivar with a haymaker. Ivar shrugs that off, rushes in, but Miz gets around to throw more hands! They go again, tie up, and Ivar TOSSES Miz to a corner to clothesline! Ivar fires off back elbow after back elbow, but lets off as the ref counts. Fans boo but Ivar scowls as he goes back to Miz. Ivar whips, Miz goes up and he BOOTS Ivar away! Miz then FLYING RANAS! Miz clotheslines Ivar against ropes, then runs to clothesline again! Ivar is still up but fans fire up as Miz runs in again.
Ivar BOOTS Miz, runs, but Miz dodges, and he clotheslines Ivar up and out! DC fires up as Miz WRECKS Ivar with a dropkick! Sarah seethes but Ivar RAMS Miz into the apron! Miz sits down, Sarah shouts and Ivar SPLASHES Miz against the apron! Sarah laughs but the fans boo as Ivar stands over Miz. Ivar puts Miz in the ring, storms up on him, and stomps him down. Ivar CLUBS Miz down, but the fans rally up. Ivar scowls as he has Miz on the ropes, but Miz throws elbows and body shots! Miz swings, Ivar gest under to back suplex. Miz lands on his feet, BOOTS back, and runs up, to mule kick! And front kick! And BOOT!
Miz runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, tilt-o-whirls and DDTS! Cover, TWO! Fans fire up as Miz busts out agility moves. Miz shouts “MASSIVE! BALLS!” But Ivar fights the full nelson to RAM Miz into buckles! Miz runs back in, into a SPIN-OUT POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO!! But wait, here comes Bronson Reed! The Colossal Aussie is talking trash on the Viking, and Miz hits Ivar with a TORNADO BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Miz keeps his cool, but then he also sees Bronson. Miz focuses back on Ivar with the fans rallying behind him. Ivar SEATED SENTONS! Miz flops out of the ring, and Bronson grabs a chair!?
Fans boo, Ivar storms out, but Bronson just uses the chair to take a seat. Bronson says Ivar may continue, but Raw is going to break.
Raw returns again and Miz hits the A-LIST LARIAT- Or not! Ivar catches Miz for a BACKBREAKER! And then underhooks, for a TIGER BOMB! Cover, TWO! Bronson is entertained as Miz survives. Ivar goes to a corner while Miz goes to the other. Ivar runs but Miz avoids the Bronco Buster! BASEMENT DDT! Cover, TWO! Ivar survives but Miz stays focused. The fans rally as Miz huffs and puffs and storms up on Ivar. Miz fires off IT KICKS! Fans chant “YES! YES! YES!” Miz fires kick after kick after kick! Then he runs up to BUZZSAW! Ivar stays up so Miz mule kicks! Miz runs, but into a throat chop!
Ivar distracts the ref, Sarah UPPERCUTS! Ivar BOOTS Miz down! Cover, TWO!! Miz survives the trickery, Loki Sarah is not! Fans rally up but Ivar climbs. Miz goes up to GAMANGIRI! And GAMANGIRI again! Miz then hops up to join Ivar, and he hooks Ivar up! Ivar throws elbows to fight the Finale, and he scoops Miz! SUPER POWERSLAM!! Cover, TWO!!! Miz lives and everyone is shocked! Even Bronson seems a bit surprised. Sarah shouts to finish this and Ivar goes to the other corner. Ivar climbs, but Bronson’s presence distracts him again. Miz gets under Ivar to POWERBOMB! High stack, feet on ropes! MIZ WINS!
Winner: The Miz, by pinfall
He did say he’d do anything he had to in order to win! Miz wins big before Survivor Series, will he win even bigger at Survivor Series? But speaking of big and bigger, Bronson CLOBBERS Ivar! Bronson goes up a corner, for the TSUNAMI!! That’s insult on top of injury, or perhaps the other way around. Will Bronson and Ivar have one colossal war of their own?
Damian Priest finds JD McDonagh backstage.
The Irish Ace is still physically sore, but Priest tells him, “Look, man. I’ve been debating this with the crew for awhile now. A part of me doesn’t think you’re ready yet, a bigger part of me still gets really annoyed by you, but tonight… You took one for the team. You took one for me. And that’s somebody I can stand with. Someone I can go to war with.” Priest presents McDonagh his own Judgment Day vest and welcomes him to the team. McDonagh smiles and shakes Priest’s hand. And then in walks Finn to see it is official. Finally! And congrats, JD. But the celebration will have to wait. Finn has JD go find Dom so they can get outta here before Pearce goes nuts.
As for Finn & Priest, they’re gonna show everyone why they are the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships. They clink belts and head out. Will Judgment Day prove they don’t need to stack the deck to win? Or will this all blow up in their faces?
Imperium regroups backstage.
Gunther says in German and then English, “Well done tonight.” Ludwig says thank you, he appreciates it. For him, it was just another Monday night. It was another night where he shows the WWE Universe what Ludwig Kaiser is all about. Gunther says he wasn’t talking to Ludwig. Giovanni, that was beautiful! Great thinking! Get yourself ejected so that those two doofs wouldn’t think he’d come back. Vinci won that for Imperium. Vinci smiles and Ludwig is confused. Gunther frowns at his lieutenant then leaves. Ludwig tells Vinci not to even but Vinci just smiles and shrugs. Vinci leaves, and Ludwig turns around to see Indus Sher!
Ludwig asks what’s their problem, and Jinder Mahal says no problems. Just wanted to see Adam Pearce. But Jinder suggests Ludwig chooses his next move wisely. Ludwig sees Veer & Sanga behind Jinder, then heads out. Are the Modern Day Maharaja and his tigers planning big moves very, very soon?
The Alpha Academy regroups.
They and Diamond Mine are in the gym, and Otis apologizes for letting Coach Gable down. Gable says there’s no reason to apologize, Otis is still the number one guy! Gable is proud of him. As for Nakamura, Gable gets him next week. Julius Creed suggests they just need some new training partners. Maybe they’re like the rest of the Raw Tag Division: they need more Creed. Gable says he is not abandoning the Gable method, a thank yew. Brutus points out that the Creeds are undefeated! And after another win, he and Julius could go for those Undisputed Tag Team Titles! But in rush New Day, and Xavier Woods says, “WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA!”
Do NOT talk about the tag team titles unless you talk about ya bois, the NEW~ DAY~! Didn’t they lose, though? Kofi says that was a 1v1! They’re ELEVEN TIME Tag Team Champions! They all argue, and we pan over to Maxxine and Ivy. Ivy says it always has to be a competition with the boys. Maxxine agrees. And yet, they’re not the only ones who can be champions. Maxxine points out Ivy almost won that Battle Royal last week. And Ivy says Maxxine didn’t do so bad herself, taking out Piper Niven. Right? That basically makes her a champion! Yeah, #GirlMath.
Oh, she knows Girl Math? Maxxine says she and Ivy got off on the wrong foot. Has Ivy ever considered modeling? Like, fitness modeling? Perhaps, but also… But then Akira Tozawa says “SHOOOOOOSH~!” He has the Washington Commanders Legacy Championship on his shoulder, and says he wants to be W! W! E! TAG! TEAM! CHAMPION~! And then the shuffle. That’s naaaaaasty~! Where’d he even get the belt? But will the Stamina Monster help the Academy get to the gold?
Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships: Finn Balor & Damian Priest w/ The Judgment Day VS Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso!
These teams go one more time around before the final battle that is WarGames! But will the Prince & Punisher prove Judgment Day runs Raw? Or will the American Nightmare & Main Event Jey YEET those titles right back in a repeat of Payback?
Raw returns and the champs make their entrance. The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who brings this gold to Chicago!
The teams sort out and Finn starts against Jey. They tie up, Finn headlocks but Jey powers up and out. Finn runs Jey over, things keep moving, and Jey CLOBBERS Finn!

Cody wrenches, tags in Jey, and they mug Finn. Finn goes to an open corner, Jey stares Priest down while fans chant “YEET! YEET!” Finn kicks Jey first!

Jey endures, fans rally up, but Cody grinds Jey down. Jey fights up, and JAWBREAKERS free! Finn comes back but Jey trips him to rain down fists! Finn turns it around to throw hands on Jey! Finn stomps Jey, Cody storms in but so does Priest! We’re brawling again!
Jey TOSSES Finn, Cody TOSSES Priest, and fans fire up as the challengers have control! Cody even SMACKS Priest off the desk! Cody regroups with Jey to hold the ring, and Raw goes to break.

The Scottish Warrior hauls Jey up and into the ring, then takes his leave. Finn covers, Judgment Day wins!!
Winners: Finn Balor & Damian Priest, by pinfall (still Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions)
McIntyre’s grudge just screwed Jey AND Cody! And as McIntyre goes to the ramp, here comes Rhea! McIntyre shakes hands with Mami! Cody and Jey are furious but they can’t do anything about it, because next week is the WarGames Advantage match! Can Cody, Jey, Sami & Rollins at least stick it to Judgment Day by having that in their back pocket?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Raw here, with great build in all the stories, not just the Survivor Series ones. Great stuff from Nakamura VS Otis, with Otis looking great even in defeat. Nakamura’s promo was great, and the mystery of who he’s after is also great. Gable stepping up to face Nakamura next is also great, it just feels logical for the leader of the Academy to face him. Really good promo from Academy, Creeds and New Day, and I like that there seems to be a new women’s tag team forming with Ivy & Maxxine. And good match from Nox VS Piper, not that all the fans were into it. Nox wins, of course, so that we get Nox & Natty as the Raw contenders to the Women’s Tag titles.
Great match from Ciampa VS Ludwig, and Vinci showing back up even after being ejected was good Heel stuff. I like that Gunther felt it was the plan, cuz it sure didn’t look like a plan. But now the dynamic might be changing, with Ludwig as low man on the ladder and Vinci being Gunther’s favorite. Great promos from Gunther, Miz, Ivar and Bronson, and I like that we’re pivoting to Bronson VS Ivar. That is going to be a great match that could go either way. As for Miz and Gunther, Miz is going to have a great showing, but I would think Gunther still wins. And I figured Xia would win with another knockout, and then Becky returns to set up a match between her and Xia. The surprise here is that it is on TV, but at the same time, HHH loves slimmer PPVs so this makes sense.
And then just awesome stuff for the Judgment Day story tonight. Great opening promo from everyone involved in WarGames, it set up that great opening tag of Rollins & Sami VS Dom & McDonagh, and we got a great brawl that “ruined” said match. Pearce’s arena ban on those four was great for a lot of reasons, and it mostly upset Rhea. Rhea and Zoey had a good promo, and then that led to a great promo from Zoey, Shayna, Raquel and Nia. Raquel VS Nia is going to be great, could go either way, but as I don’t see Rhea losing to Zoey, another Face will step up and that’d be Raquel. And that is great, Rhea VS Raquel to revive their NXT rivalry going into the Royal Rumble is great.
McDonagh finally being fully accepted to Judgment Day is great, because there’s been the connection of “JD” as his name but also the faction initials this whole time. Good promo from Cody and Rollins backstage to say truce on this, and good promo from McIntyre and Rollins to say respect. But then that with the ringside ban was all to give us that great shocker where McIntyre costs Jey & Cody! Heel McIntyre is here, hard to say if he’s Judgment Day or just helping them because he hates Jey. I’m leaning towards the latter, McIntyre doesn’t really fit Judgment Day aesthetic. Either way, Jey VS McIntyre will be the next phase, and that’ll be great, too.
And advantage is on the line next week, that’ll go a long way to determining who wins. I’d still lean towards the Faces. If Cody and Jey can’t have the tag titles, they have to get the WarGames win.
My Score: 8.9/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Nia Jax ambushes Rhea Ripley!
The Irresistible Force is here on Raw to face Bayley, but she’s getting her payback on Mami for last week! She dribbles Rhea into the steel chain link fencing again and again, even as security and Adam Pearce rush in! They get Nia to stop, but Rhea is pissed! Will Nia regret riling up Rhea Bloody Ripley?
Jey Uso is here!
Dallas fires up and bounces along as it’s time to YEET! Michael Cole does his best to keep up with the beat as Main Event Jey makes his way down the bleachers. Wade Barrett is subbing in for Pat McAfee (the NCAA College Football Championship is also tonight), and Wade says Maggle looks like a “drunk grandpa” doing the YEET. Jey makes it to ringside, he high fives Maggle, then goes to the ring. But the YEET doesn’t slow down, it just keeps going! Jey grabs a mic and tells Dallas, “Main Event Jey Uso is now in your citaaaaaa~!” The fans cheer and join in with a “YEET!” Jey says this weekend, “YEET!” Saturday Night’s Main Event, “YEET!” Jey takes home the big one!
But then before Jey can continue, GUNTHER makes his way out here! Der Ring General, World Heavyweight Championship around his waist, makes his way right to the ring. Gunther grabs himself a mic while the fans boo. Jey paces but Gunther tells him, “Lemme guess, the next thing you were about to say is you were going to win the World Heavyweight title.” Jey confirms, he is gonna beat Gunther, then hang the title up in his room. Gunther says Jey really is “a funny little man.” But let’s not act like we both know it won’t happen. Last week, Jey was right here in front of Gunther, and he said every morning, he looks in the mirror and bets on himself.
The thing is, Gunther believes Jey. Gunther was looking forward to Saturday to square off with Main Event Jey Uso. Until today, when he saw Jey walking in here acting like that conversation last week never happened. Not after seeing Jey act like a complete DORK! Like he’s the company mascot for the fans! At this point, Gunther doesn’t even care. He could jsut as well get challenged by Jimmy Uso. Jey tells Gunther to not say something about his brother. Gunther says it doesn’t matter what Jey says, he never follows up with his actions! The fans are the only ones naive enough to believe everything Jey says. Gunther does not.
Bet on yourself? Until when? Until Roman Reigns whistles for him? Until Sami Zayn needs him? Until Jimmy needs him? Even Cody needed Jey and Jey showed up! All that makes Jey is a useful idiot, and Jey doesn’t even see it! Jey, your words and your actions do not align. Gunther’s always do! So on Saturday, when the bell rings, Gunther exposes Jey for the flash in the pan that has NO business being even this close to the World Heavyweight Championship. The fans boo but Gunther tells Jey to go. The fans “YEET! YEET! YEET!” but Jey says Gunther’s right again. Everything Gunther just said is true again.
Jey is the mascot of the WWE. And the fans here are his team. The fans are his squad. They ride with him! “YEET!” Slide with him! “YEET!” And they will be with him when he beats Gunther for the world championship! “YEET!” Jey reminds us he respects Gunther. But Gunther will respect Jey, too. Because only one of them in this ring main-evented a WrestleMania, and it ain’t Gunther. But then Gunther DECKS Jey! Gunther stomps Jey, the fans boo, but then Gunther DECKS Jey again! Gunther stands Jey up, but Jey TACKLES Gunther! Jey rains down fists and teh fans fire up! Gunther gets up, but Jey fires more hands!
Jey has Gunther’s shirt over his head for a hockey scrum! Gunther gets free, but Jey SUPERKICKS him down! The fans all “YEET!” while Der Ring General retreats! Jey has the belt and he dares Gunther to come get it! Jey drops it at the ropes, Gunther storms up to the apron, but Gunther stays back. Gunther leaves Dallas with the belt tonight, but will Jey leave San Antonio with it this Saturday?
The New Day walks the halls.
And then they spot someone. “Finally, somebody who understands!” JBL is here! They all shake hands, and JBL loves seeing them. Kofi Kingston says JBL is not just a champion and a Hall of Famer, but he’ll be on commentary tonight for The New Day’s match with that “hypocrite of a locker room leader,” Rey Mysterio. JBL should let New Day know they are the victims of a disgusting smear campaign! Kofi even sweetens the deal with a whole $2. Kofi says JBL understands being in a tag team but having to cut the deadweight to get ahead. And when he did, what happened? He had the greatest success of his career!
Not as great as The New Day, but please, be an acolyte for ya bois! JBL says yes, he does “get it.” Big E, all the muscles and charisma and personality, everywhere they go, the fans love Big E. Everyone chants for New Day, for Big E. You get rid of him, the fans have to pay attention to Kofi & Woods! Wow, okay. Backhanded compliments? Be that way. The New Day heads out, JBL asks if he can keep the two bucks. Will Kofi & Woods finally see who’s really in the wrong? Or will they continue to have a bad day here on Raw?
Backstage interview with Bayley.
Cathy Kelley is with the “busiest superstar” in WWE right now, as Bayley was on Raw, NXTÂ and SmackDown all last week. And she has an announcement to make, so for those who ahven’t heard, could she share? Yes, cat is out of the bag, Bayley is back on Raw officially via the Transfer Window! She started here after her NXT call-up, so it just feels right. But also, she is declaring for the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble! And if you remember, she won the 2024 Rumble, so going back to back sounds really good. She could choose Tiffany Stratton, she could choose Rhea Ripley, or- Nia Jax interrupts.
Nia says Bayley can have Rhea, Nia gets Tiffy. Also, Nia is going to win the Women’s Rumble, not Bayley. Oh, yeah, Bayley did see what Nia did to Rhea earlier. If Nia wants to try that, Bayley dares her. Nia says she’ll see Bayley out there. Nia leaves, but will the Irresistible Force rough Bayley up the same way she did Rhea? Or will Bayley continue to be the Role Model, even after changing brands?
Kofi Kingston w/ Xavier Woods VS Rey Mysterio!
Raw returns and JBL is out there with Wade and Maggle already. The New Day makes their entrance, and they hate their song! They have it turn off, they get the tron to stop, and Woods says they already told the idiots in production that they’re no longer using that stuff! It’s ya bois, the NEW~ DAY~, and Dallas is starting to piss Kofi off! They have been doing this for too long and too well to be disrespected like this. They are walking Hall of Famers, unlike this FRAUD, JBL! JBL, give him that money back! Kofi snatches it out of JBL’s lapel pocket. Woods says Rey’s getting the brakes beat off him by the one and only Kofi Kingston~! BECAUSE NEW! DAY- “SUCKS!”
The fans chant “NEW! DAY SUCKS!” and the bell rings. Kofi and Rey circle, feel things out, and Kofi waistlocks to then headlock, waistlock, and he shoves Rey to a corner. The fans boo but Kofi soaks up that heat. JBL says this is the only time he’ll cheer a “deadbeat dad” like Rey. Rey and Kofi tie up, Rey waistlocks but Kofi switches to SLAM Rey down! Kofi slaps Rey around, and the fans boo as Kofi & Woods soak up the heat. Kofi taunts Rey, Rey and Kofi reset, and they tie up. Rey wrenches, hammerlocks, but Kofi wrenches out. Kofi wristlocks, Rey rolls and kips up, then Rey wrenches to headlock.
Kofi powers up and out, drops down then CLOBBERS Rey! The fans boo but Kofi keeps moving. Rey drops down, blows past Kofi, then tilt-o-whirls to RANA! Kofi staggers up, Rey dropkicks the legs out! Kofi is on ropes, Rey dials it up, but Kofi ducks the 619! Rey then PLANCHAS, but Kofi moves! Rey is on the apron, Kofi YANKS him down! The fans tell Kofi off but he drags Rey up and into the ring. Kofi then fires UPPERCUTS on Kofi, CHOKES him in the corner, then stomps a mudhole in! The ref counts, Kofi steps off, and then Kofi whips corner to corner. Rey reverses, runs up, but Kofi SWING KICKS! Rey GAMANGIRIS in return!
Rey RAMS Kofi, slingshots and SUNSET- NO, Kofi holds on, and he CLUBS Rey down! The fans boo but Kofi brings Rey in! Woods says watch this, “Hall of Famer!” Kofi lifts Rey, Rey pops free, but Kofi stomps away on him! Kofi glares at JBL, then he drags Rey up. The fans boo but Kofi SMACKS Rey off the apron. Kofi then reels Rey in, but Rey RANAS Kofi into the steel steps! The fans fire up as Rey rises, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Kofi has Rey down with an armlock. Rey fights to his feet, the fans fire up, and the forearms go back and forth! Kofi ROCKS Rey, Rey ROCKS Kofi, but then Kofi kicks low! Kofi whips, Rey ducks ‘n’ dodges, then Rey leaps to FLYING FOREARM! Both men are down and the fans fire up again. Woods coaches Kofi while Rey goes to the apron. Rey then goes to the corner, but Kofi hurries over that way. Kofi fires body shots, then he climbs up after Rey. Kofi brings Rey up but Rey fires body shots in return! Rey BENDS Kofi’s fingers, then he HEADBUTTS Kofi! Kofi staggers up, Rey hits the SEATED SENTON!
Rey gets moving, but Kofi ducks the springboard crossbody! Kofi sunset flip, but Rey rolls through, basement DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! Kofi goes to a corner, Rey CLUBS him, and the fans rally. The ref gets between them, but Kofi pokes Rey in the eyes! Kofi leaps, CROSSBODY SPLASH to the back! Cover, TWO! The fans rally for Rey as he stays in this. The fans chant “NEW! DAY SUCKS!” Woods argues with a fan, Kofi aims, TROUBLE IN- NO, Rey dodges, then comes back to RANA! Kofi is on ropes, Rey dials it up! But Woods trips Rey! The ref saw that clear as day! Woods argues with the ref, but the ref EJECTS Woods!
The fans fire up while Woods throws a fit! Rey DECKS Woods! But Kofi CLOBBERS Rey! The fans boo, but Kofi hauls Rey up! Rey victory rolls Kofi onto ropes! Rey redials, 619!! And then the springboard, but onto knees! Kofi covers, TWO!! Rey survives, the fans fire up, but Kofi seethes. Kofi hauls Rey up, clinches, S O- NO! Rey makes the SOS a cover, REY WINS!
Winner: Rey Mysterio, by pinfall
But Woods CLBOBERS Rey from behind! The New Day mugs Rey, the fans boo more, but here comes the LWO! Joaquin Wilde & Cruz Del Toro run The New Day off! The fans boo, Cruz & Wilde check Rey, but then the New Day sneak back in! They drag Wilde out to POST him! Cruz hurries but now New Day retreats for real! Insult to injury here, but will Kofi & Woods continue to be blinded by their own arrogance?
Backstage interview with Team American Made.
Cathy Kelley waits as Chad Gable is arguing with his own people, then says okay, sorry, he was inspiring the team. But yeah, he’s the talk of the whole freakin’ wrestling world the past week, but he is man enough to admit he has a problem. And it all started with losing to Penta last week! It was Dragon Lee before that, and Rey Mysterio before that. Gable asks, “What’re we gonna do her?” But he’s figured it out! He found a man who knows a thing or two about lucha libre, and that man is intelligent with a mustache to match. That man is Dominik Mysterio! While Dom helps Gable with his lucha problem, the team has their marching order.
Ivy Nile says there’s a Women’s Intercontinental Championship with her name all over it. Brutus says those tag titles should’ve already had their names on them, HAHA~! Julius mocks how War Raiders cry about “One more injury~ and we’re done forever~!” Like that’s something to be proud of? No more asking, they’re just taking! They’ll take those tag titles from a team near the end of their career and put them on a team that’s entering their prime. Gable says this team that bleeds red, white ‘n’ blue will have waists wrapped in gold, and it will be glorious. Team American Made heads out, but can Dirty Dom really help Gable clean up his act?
Sami Zayn is here!
Dallas sings his song, and the Underdog from the Underground goes right to the ring. He grabs a mic and thanks Dallas for that, that never gets old. But he wont’ beat around the bush, he’ll just get right to business. Sami spoke with Adam Pearce, and Sami is now officially entered into the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match! The fans like the sound of that! Sami says Rollins told him he’s already helped a lot of others, so time to help himself. Well, Sami thought about that, and thought about what he wants. When he thought about that, it opened a whole bunch of thoughts. Sami pictured what 14-year-old Sami wanted.
Sami thought about what the millions around the world who dream of becoming pro-wrestlers, and the thousands who actually live the dream and get to do it. And then the even smaller group lucky enough to call themselves WWE Superstars. And then the smallest group of all, the hardest to crack into at all, is the upper echelon, the top tier, and that is where Sami is now! The fans cheer, and Sami firmly believes he is as good as everyone else in that group. That group is all in the Royal Rumble, and the only difference between Sami and the others, aka Roman, McIntyre, Rollins, and so on, is that they all have a world title to their name… and Sami doesn’t.
Sami has said it before, he’ll say it again, he’s had a great life, a great career. He doesn’t need the world title to complete him. The fans have supported Sami throughout the years, and believe it or not, that support means more to him than any world title could ever mean! So no, Sami does not need that world title, but DAMMIT, he WANTS it!! The fans love that! Sami says 14-year-old Sami wants that title, and he’s still with Sami! That kid sets foot in this ring every time Sami does. So Sami doesn’t need it, he wants it, so he will TAKE IT! WAIT, Kevin Owens is here!? The fans boo and Sami is certainly stunned seeing SmackDown’s Prizefighter back on Raw.
Kevin, who is still carrying the “Winged Eagle” title, while wearing a Bret Hart merchandise jacket, makes his way to the ring. Kevin grabs the mic, and while fans boo, he looks to Sami. Sami says he knew it was a matter of time before Kevin showed up. How does Kevin wanna do this? Kevin asks what Sami means. Sami knows Kevin. We all saw what Kevin did to Cody over teaming with Roman, so how’s this going down? Aw, is that why Sami thinks Kevin is here? No, Kevin admits, he was upset at first. But he realizes now that Sami teaming with Roman isn’t the same as Cody teaming with Roman.
Sami and Roman had a lot of history, the same as Sami and Kevin. And Roman did terrible things to Sami that Sami overlooked, just as Kevin did to Sami that Sami has overlooked. Or rather, Sami forgave Kevin for those things. Same as him forgiving Roman! Because that is who Sami is: Sami is a good person. And Rollins is right, Sami does a lot for others, especially his friends. And well, Sami is still Kevin’s best friend. A brother even! Kevin is here to tell his brother that he whole heartedly believes Sami can and will win the Royal Rumble. Kevin knows that the Sami he’s known for 20 YEARS will win the Royal Rumble!
And why? Because Sami deserves it! Sami deserves to go to WrestleMania and fight for the WWE Championship, and Kevin knows Sami will do it! Then Kevin and Sami can accomplish one more thing together. Think of everything they’ve done and seen each other do in this business. They main-evented WrestleMania to become tag team champions. But there’s one more thing they haven’t done: main event WrestleMania for THE WWE Championship. And when Sami wins the Rumble, they can do that, so long as Kevin walks away THE WWE Champion. But Kevin knows both of those things are going to happen.
Kevin knows Sami will win the Rumble because Kevin has his back. He does. And Kevin knows he’ll be THE WWE Champion because just like Sami had Roman’s back, he’s got Kevin’s back. Right? Kevin just knows it. Sami is his best friend, his brother, and if Kevin needs him, Sami will be there. Kevin drops his mic and heads out, but Sami is rather confused. Is Kevin suggesting Sami do what it sounds like? What will Sami do on this Road to WrestleMania?
Backstage interview with Sheamus.
Cathy is with The Fella and brings up his Intercontinental Championship match he has this Saturday against Bron Breakker. Why is this title so important to him? Sheamus says many would look at his career, and say he has the perfect backwards WWE career. He was only six months into his career, and he beat one of the biggest names this business has ever seen in John Cena to become WWE Champion. Ironically, the Intercontinental Champioship is what drew Sheamus to the WWE. That title has become an obsession for the past five years, but guess what? The stars are aligned! Saturday Night’s Main Event, Sheamus will bust Bron aside and fulfill destiny!
Sheamus will win the last championship he has yet to win! And for everyone who is watching, Let’s Go, Irish! A quick shoutout to Notre Dame, but then Sheamus spots Bron Breakker. Bron tells Sheamus that this title is Bron’s. This is as close as Sheamus will ever get to winning it. Because on Saturday, Bron beats him and BREAKS him like an old man! So just do us all a favor and retire. Sheamus shoves Bron, but Bron laughs it off and takes his leave. Will the Celtic Warrior finally have his WWE Bingo in another banger? Or will this title still belong to Bron Breakker?

Judgment Day meets with American Made.
The others aren’t so sure about this, but Chad Gable says Dom said he could help with Gable’s luchador problem. Does he have some info? C’mon! Help him out! Okay, okay. Dom has someone who can help Gable. Dom hands him a piece of paper, and Gable asks, “This is the guy?” Dom says it sure is. Gable tells Judgment Day and “JD McDouche” that he’s off to master the dark arts of lucha libre. The others ask Dom what this is all about. Dom says it’s a long story but he and Gable go way back. Okay, fine, but how does this help Judgment Day? Next week is the tag title rematch but Finn is still out of action from last week’s Street Fight!
Liv Morgan says listening to Finn hasn’t really helped them win, has it? C’mon, Liv, this is serious. They’re gonna have to forfeit! Dom says maybe he could sub in. Finn shouldn’t care so long as they get the titles back, right? JD says yeah, that’s a good point. They’ll get this. Liv says yeah, Finn should be fine. And Dom is quite the mastermind now, huh? Liv just hopes this plan goes better than the one he had for her match with Rhea. Hey, didn’t she say she was over that? Yes, she did. Can Dom not take a joke? Okay, okay. Dom does have a plan for Liv, though. And even though she’s not mad, he’ll make it up to her, okay? Oh, he will. Now, let’s go.
Liv & Dom head out, Raquel tells Carlito to stop staring. Will Judgment Day (not) keep it together?
Lyra Valkyria speaks.
“Last week, I walked into Raw ready to become a history maker. And that meant spreading my wings and shedding any dead feathers that made me doubt the heights I knew I was capable of reaching. I took fear, I took doubt, and I used them to become something more. And now that I have this, it’s about what comes next. And what comes next is building a legacy as a valiant, fighting Women’s Intercontinental Champion.” The Morrigan is ready for more, just how high will she soar?
WWE celebrates Martin Luther King Jr.
He had a dream, and that dream lives on in us. May we keep that dream alive so that it may come true every day.
Seth Rollins warms up backstage.
Sami checks with him and knows the match with McIntyre is coming up. But Sami just wants Rollins to know that as a friend, he appreciated the talk they had last week. Rollins knows, and he heard Sami out there. Rollins respects Sami’s choice. It’s about time we got that Sami back. And Sami is almost rooting for that Sami. But push comes to shove int he Rumble, Rollins will throw Sami right over the top rope. Sami says, “Not if I throw you out first.” Sami again wishes Rollins luck, then heads out. Rollins finishes his preparations, but Karrion Kross is watching from afar! Could Mr. Doomsday have his next target in mind?
PENTA VS Pete Dunne!
#CeroMiedo made its debut in the WWE just last week, and it was a massive hit! But now he’s up against a man who feels disrespected left, right, front and back! Will the Bruiserweight take out all his frustrations on the new kid in class? Or will Penta continue to blow the roof off the arenas?

Logan Paul speaks.
“Man, it must suck to be a Logan Paul hater. For years, all of you have wanted me to fail. But you know why it’s never happened, and it never will? Because when I do something, I become the best at it. I became the King of the Internet. I was the only man in history to beat Floyd Mayweather. So what makes you think the WWE will be any different? Look around, dummies. This is my life now. And I will eat, sleep and breathe wrestling until I become the greatest superstar to step into that ring. You can quote me on that. You’re looking at the GOAT, ladies and gentlemen.” The Maverick makes his return next week in Atlanta, will he receive a “warm welcome?”
CM Punk is here!
The Voice of the Voiceless, the Second City Saint, the Best in the World, takes a page out of Jey Uso’s playbook by entering through the concourse and then the bleachers! Dallas fires up as he joins Jackie Redmond in the perch for an interview. Jackie says the fans love chanting Punk’s name, and thanks him for coming out here for this in-arena interview. Punk says before any questions, he has a question for us: “Is it great to be alive on a Monday night in Dallas, Texas or what?!” The fans cheer that, and Jackie says of course it is.
But to the question: There are only so many ways to get to the main event of WrestleMania, something Punk wants to do for the first time in his career. The Royal Rumble is certainly one way, but that is a match he’s never won. And it is shaping to become one of the most stacked fields ever. Punk, Roman, John Cena, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Sami Zayn, and more. So, the question is, what makes this Rumble different for Punk? Punk says, “History.” And he is a maker of history! Just three weeks ago, he main-evented the first Raw live on Netflix, and he beat Rollins, a man favored to win this year’s Rumble.
This business is a fickle one, constantly asking, “What have you down for me lately?” Punk says he makes history! And he’ll do it in two weeks when he walks in, throws 29 other superstars over the top rope. The stakes are much too high, the lights are much too bright, and the pressure is on! And that is when Punk feels alive and when he thrives. No one can beat Punk when he’s at his best and with the people behind him. Jackie brought up Cena, but Punk can’t see Cena throwing him out. Roman Reigns? Roman needed Punk’s help to settle family business at WarGames. And in the Rumble, there are no friends!
Punk has put McIntyre in the dirt, and don’t ask him about Sami. You put HOGAN in the rumble, Punk will throw his old ass out and kill Hulkamania once and for all! February 1st, 60 THOUSAND strong, on the Peacock, live and in living color, Indianapolis, Indiana, Punk will settle scores and cash in debts. He’ll even call in a favor or two if he needs to. On that night, 29 other men are going night-night, and ONE MAN gets his hand raised. One name, three syllables: C, M, PUNK! “CM” might stand for “Confident Man” right about now, but will Punk be unstoppable on this road not just to WrestleMania, but also the road to his dream?
Damage CTRL VS Pure Fusion Collective!
This rivalry went back and forth all over 2024, and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down just because it is a New Year. Will Dakota Kai & Iyo Sky finally kick PFC to the curb for what they did to Kairi Sane? Or will Sonya Deville, Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark put them on the shelf right beside the Pirate Princess?
The teams sort out, the bell rings, and Kai starts against Shayna. Shayna opens with a KICK to the leg, but Kai walks that off. Shayna KCIKS again, Kai gets mad, and the two go again. Kai blocks one kick but not the second KCIK! Shayna runs up, fakes Kai out, then trips her up! Shayna scuffs Kai, then soaks up the heat. Shayna runs back in, but Kai goes up and over to roll her up!

The Genius of the Sky fires SHOTEI after SHOTEI on Zoey! Iyo ROCKS Shayna, then runs! PFC avoids the handsprings, but Iyo blocks a kick!
Iyo sends the foot at Zoey, but she ducks! Iyo SHOTEIS Zoey again! Then she dodges Shayna to GERMAN SUPLEX her away! The fans fire up as Iyo whips Zoey. Zoey reverses but Iyo uses that to DIVE onto Shayna! Iyo hurries up, blocks a shot, then ROUDNHOUSES Zoey! The fans fire up as Iyo climbs, and Iyo MISSILE DROPKICKS Zoey! Iyo handsprings up and the fans are thunderous! Iyo aims from the corner, runs in and SHINKANSEN! Iyo drags Zoey to a cover, TWO! Zoey survives but Iyo goes up. Sonya storms up, but Kai YANKS Sonya down! The fans fire up as Iyo climbs, but Shayna LARIATS Kai!
Zoey YANKS Iyo down, SUPERKICKS her, and then reels her in! ATAXIA!! Cover, TWO!! Zoey is furious, but she tags in Shayna. PFC gets Iyo up, ROLLING DEATH VALLEY, then a SLIDING KNEE! Cover, Kai breaks it! The fans fire up but Zoey TOSSES Kai! Zoey then PLANCHAS, but Kai dodges! Kai goes up to the apron to PENALTY KICK Zoey! Shayna BOOTS Kai, then dodges Iyo! KIRAFUDA KLUTCH!! Iyo flails, but she runs to the ropes! HOTSHOT and Shayna falls back! Iyo hurries up top, the fans fire up, OVER THE MOONSAULT! Cover, DMG CTRL wins!
Winners: Damage CTRL, by pinfall
PFC tried to use the numbers, but Iyo & Kai just used their skills! Will DMG CTRL still take control of Raw? Or will Sonya, Shayna & Zoey figure out a winning formula?
Seth Rollins VS Drew McIntyre!
With the Royal Rumble just down the road, it is this WrestleMania 40 rematch that could determine how WrestleMania 41 looks. The Visionary and the Scottish Terminator look to run it back, but who will be in pole position for Indianapolis?
Raw returns and McIntyre makes his entrance. The bell rings, the fans fire up, and the two stare down. The fans sing Rollins’ song, and Rollins says he’s got two good knees now. No Bloodline, no CM Punk, just them! The two circle, tie up, and McIntyre pushes Rollins to the corner. The ref counts but McIntyre talks smack as he lets off. Rollins shoves McIntyre, McIntyre shoves Rollins! They stare down again, Rollins talks a bit more smack, and McIntyre grins. McIntyre CHOPS, and Rollins likes that!

Will McIntyre use everyone else against each other to ensure he is the one going to WrestleMania?
My Thoughts:
Another great episode coming in at just two hours and 35 minutes or so. I don’t mind things “ending early” compared to the usual three hour run, but I am curious as to how they’re only using two-and-a-half hours. I suppose they have their plan and just go with it. That way, if things go long, they have breathing room for it. But they really could’ve added like one more thing to this and it would’ve been fine, I think. That said, good go-home stuff for Saturday Night’s Main Event, such as a good promo from Jey and Gunther. Though, they didn’t really add more to what last week had, other than that brawl. Jey stood tall, go-home math would suggest he loses.
Sheamus and Bron had a good promo to put the final touches on their build, but as I said last week, this is a rather interesting one. Sheamus really should win that Intercontinental Championship already, but I don’t know if Saturday Night’s Main Event is a “big enough stage” for such a moment. Great stuff with Bayley, Nia and Rhea tonight, especially that match. It seems the Transfer Window is finally putting some actual transfers in, what with Wyatt Sick6 on SmackDown and now Bayley on Raw. Rhea VS Nia on Saturday Night’s Main Event is going to be an awesome title match, but it feels like Rhea will retain to solidify her as champion past the Royal Rumble.
And speaking of the Rumble, Bayley is certainly a top choice to win. For one, it’d be historic for Bayley to not just win back-to-back, but to also be the first woman to have won two Rumbles at all. Very good promo from Punk to hype himself up for the Rumble, and he did mention a favor… Though, it’d be rather Heel of Punk to use a favor from Heyman to basically rig the Rumble or give him protection during it, but it’d also be great continuity as The Shield was to shield Punk. Sami of course declared for the Rumble, but Kevin showing up was a great surprise. And Kevin clearly implies that if Sami helps Kevin cheat the ladder match, Kevin will help Sami cheat the Rumble. Or rather, if Kevin does help Sami win the Rumble, Sami better help Kevin win the ladder match.
Sami also had a good promo with Rollins backstage, with the real fun part being Kross watching from the background. Kross needs a new feud with the Wyatts going to SmackDown, and moving on to names like Rollins and Sami would be some big stuff for him and The Final Testament. Rollins VS McIntyre was a great main event, and classic move having the quick pin win this so that McIntyre is still strong even in defeat. Sami making the save was also a nice touch, as was the Helluva Kick accidentally hitting Rollins. The Rumble has a lot of feuds crossing over, and Kross can add onto what happened here, we’ll get some really good chaos in that match.
Great promo between New Day and JBL to where even JBL, notorious as one of the meanest, most obnoxious Heels of his time, is on Big E’s side. And we finally got New Day back in the ring, but it’s a little disappointing that it wasn’t a tag match. Dragon Lee hasn’t gotten to do much, and he’s doing even less now. It was still a great match from Kofi VS Rey, with Rey getting his own quick pin win. New Day beating Rey up of course brought out the LWO, and I’m sure we’ll get New Day VS Cruz & Wilde next. We can only hope for Dragon Lee’s sake that he gets to be part of the blowoff for this feud. Actually, better yet would be him in the Intercontinental Championship scene.
Penta might also make a great choice for the Intercontinental Championship scene. Penta had another awesome match, as Pete Dunne is always a great opponent. Maybe Penta gets in on the Rumble so he can check that off his bucket list. He doesn’t need to win, he can just have a great showing, and rivalries can spark from those interactions. Lyra had a very good promo but I was hoping for a little more after her winning the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. DMG CTRL VS PFC was a great tag match, and a great win for DMG CTRL. Dakota and Iyo could each make a case for a match with Lyra, but clearly Ivy will be up first. She would make a solid first defense for Lyra, and then Lyra can have rematches from the tournament with Kai and Iyo.
At the same time, PFC might already be thinking about changing up the team with Zoey taking the loss. Good stuff with Judgment Day. Dom and Liv plotting and scheming while being passive aggressive is a fun phase for them. They’re probably plotting on how Liv can win the Women’s Rumble, but it’ll likely backfire and that’ll push the Liv x Dom break-up. Also, you can bet Finn won’t like Dom taking his spot against the War Raiders, especially if they win. That said, I don’t see them winning, Erik & Ivar should definitely be able to handle Dom & JD. It certainly feels more likely the Creeds can take the tag titles than Judgment Day.
I do wonder who Dom recommended to Gable, though. It’d be cool if WWE brought in some other lucha legends, as WWE seems to be expanding their partnerships. WWE is working more closely with TNA now, and I believe TNA still has a working relationship with AAA, especially after AEW moved over to working with CMLL because of the relationship with NJPW. Also a super crossover like NXTNAAA would be a lot of fun to see for WrestleMania weekend.
My Score: 8.8/10

Andrew’s TNA Genesis Results & Match Ratings: 1.19.25
Does TNA Believe in Joe Hendry more than Mokuba Nemeth believes in his big brother?
Hot off the heels of the TNA and WWE working relationship announcement, the Kickoff show already has the first sprinkle of NXT talent with Ashante “Thee” Adonis coming out after Ariana Grace tries to take all of the credit for the partnership. Jake something runs over Ashante, but it’s a good quick nod on free YouTube. Oh it also looks like the ring announcer is McKenzie Mitchel again. I did like her first run in TNA in what was that… like 2016-2018 or 19? She’s got personality, she’s cute and a solid announcer, so nice to see her back.
I’m not gonna run down any predictions on who I think will win, because honestly, I just feel like Hendry needs to win today or it’s been an entire waste of momentum. So lets get to the main show!

Results:
X Division Championship: Moose (c) vs Ace Austin
As soon as the bell rings, Ace jumps on him, forces him into the corner and stomps on him. Moose tries to fight out but Ace stays relentless. Ace has a counter for everything Moose is trying to counter in the early goings. Even when Moose catches him during the apron Handstand Dodge, Ace still has a counter for his counter. It’s not until a rake to the eyes from Moose that finally gives him a moment to start dictating the pace. A huge Irish Whip on the outside through the barricade is what Ace feels…twice. Ace tries to fight back from Moose continuing the momentum, Ace eats a Pump Kick, but blocks Moose’s attempt at a Suplex and counters with his own Vertical Suplex on Moose! JDC gets in the proximity of Ace so Ace kicks him, which delays his springboard, so Moose catches him and bounces him off the apron like a super ball.
Moose lets the count go, Ace barely gets in at 9, Moose throws him corner to corner, is slowing things down and being very deliberate. Ace starts powering through the pain, catches a Pump Kick, dodges a Spear into the corner and puts together a few strikes, Double Stomp, Triangle Kick, wants The Fold but Moose puts the brakes on there. Ace tries to spring off the ropes but Moose grabs him and hits Go To Hell for two! Fighting Spirit spot, Ace starts winning the trade, a Headbutt from Moose stops Ace, Moose flips him over the ropes to the apron, tries a few more things, Ace looks for a Springboard, Moose catches him but Ace slips it for a Frankensteiner. Moose powders to the opposite apron and Ace hits his Inside Out Headscissors sending Moose crashing to the floor. Alisha and JDC try to help up Moose, and while the referee is distracted JDC posts Ace. Moose goes for the Around the World Lights Out, but Ace moves and Moose kills JDC! Ace hits The Fold on the floor!
Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers run down the ramp, Ace sees them so he hits the Fosbury Flop to take them out. Ace is rolling, he goes for the Triangle Kick but Moose counters with Lights Out! 1-2- KICK OUT? Moose sets up for another Lights Out, Ace sidesteps it for the Cradle, kickout, Uranage, Cradle counter, Art of Finesse from Ace but Lights Out to the Spine from Moose! Moose sets up another and lands the Lights Out to retain!
Post Match the System looks to beat down on Ace, but Maniac Marines music hits and they go after Myers and Edwards. Guess the match is now!Â
The System vs Maniac Marines
Steve and Eric beat the hell out of the System members while the referee tries to set the match, it still hasn’t started but we get stereo 10 count punches in the corner, big fists causing Myers and Edwards to powder. This is essentially a Tornado Tag right now because the match hasn’t even started. Okay it eventually starts and Maclin hits the Backbreaker on Edwards and Busaiku Knee on Myers. He looks for a SCUD but Lish grabs the foot which is just enough! Maclin tries to charge anyway but gets caught in the Blue Thunder Bomb and now the match slows down and Eddie is in control.
Maclin absorbs some Chops from Eddie in the corner, no sells a little and fires, Eddie tags out Myers tries to slow things down with a Russian Leg Sweep but Maclin continues to try and rally. Eddie’s back in, shortarm Gowan Lariat into a cocky cover for two. Eddie tries to keep moving but Maclin hits the Vertical Suplex. Maclin is too slow to tag out so Eddie tags out and Myers cuts off Maclin. After a few more quick tags from System members, Maclin finally lands a Lariat to get the simultaneous tag and EY comes in hot. EY does the Flair corner flip, knocks Eddie off the apron, Myers eats a Macho Elbow but only two. Eddie knocks Maclin off the apron, Tandem Tiger Driver for two, EY fights back to level Eddie, Tree of Woe Myers Caught in Crosshairs but Lish gets in the ring! Eddie grabs Eric and distracts the ref, Lish clocks Maclin with either knuckles or a full hand of rings, Spear from Myers is only a two!
System Overload attempt, it’s thwarted by EY, Myers gets crotched in like a Reverse Tree of Woe, so Maclin hits the Caught in the Crosshairs on the back, EY with a Plancha to the outside to take Edwards out and K.I.A. from Maclin means Maniac Marines win!
Knockouts Tag Titles: Elegance Clique (Heather & Ash) w/Personal Concierge vs Spitfire (Dani Luna & Jody Threat) (c)
Elegance duo comes out dressed like Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. They do a Go Eagles chant right before the bell rings to a chorus of Boos.
Even though Elegance Clique throws their pompoms and try a cheap shot, Spitfire just plow through them, literally. Quick tags, some assisted moves, Ash gets away from Spitfire, tags in Heather and shoves her forward trying to take them off guard, but they turn around…grab Heather and a long Tandem Stalling Suplex with a Deep Squat for two. Concierge distracts the referee, looks for a low Dive onto Heather but Ash just kicks Dani in the face, and the referee sees nothing. Heather rolls her back in, Kawada Kicks, Forearm Shiver, trip into a Dropkick to the face! Ash hangs Dani off the apron and Heather hits the Double Stomp from the apron to the floor.
Ash starts choking Dani on the ropes, distracts the referee and Heather paintbrushes Dani with pompoms as Ash goes for a series of pinfall attempts. Quick tags, Dani is in their corner, Cartwheel Back Handspring Elbow from Ash into a Seated Dropkick from Heather. Dani has been getting smacked around for the last 4 or 5 minutes. Ash leans on Dani for a while, but Dani gets a head of steam, comes off the ropes and Shotgun Dropkick gives her space. Jody gets a hot tag, she Sack of Shits them both, Vader Hammers in the corner into a Michinoku Driver, which Ash breaks up with a Meteora. Heather and Ash have a nice tandem move for a two count. Jody tries to fight back, but Elegance stops it, blind tag from Dani, Senton takes out both Elegance Clique members and Dani stalks her prey. Snap Suplex two times on Ash, but Heather stops the third and Jody just tosses Heather out of the ring in a rough way. Jody tries her Double Knees German Suplex spot but Ash moves. Dani with the Shinsuke Nakamura Inside Out German, Pressure Drop and Spitfire retains.
Boo…
Jordynne Grace vs Tessa Blanchard
Grace charges Tessa immediately, and the ref needs to pull her off, but Tessa gets thrown around the ring literally, the crowd is chanting “Fuck You Tessa”, Tessa powders, eats a Dive and then a Jackhammer on the outside! Grace puts Tessa on her shoulders up to the ring, but Tessa finally fights off and flips off the crowd, revels in it for a second, tries the Frankensteiner, but Grace holds on, smashes Tessa into the guardrail twice, looks for the Reverse Bomb on the apron, but Tessa gets out, stomps on Jordynne a few times, hooks Jordynne’s face with the crook of her leg and drives Jordynne’s face into the apron. Unique looking and decent.
Tessa has the correct intensity, pushes into two quick pinfall attempts and starts getting deliberate. Drags Jordynne’s face across the rope, throats Grace, kicks her in the face and Slingshot Elbow is another near fall. Tessa with the Front Facelock, Grace tries to fight out but Tessa holds on and drops her with a Scorpion Death Drop for another near fall. Jordynne fights Tessa off with a few elbows, looks for a Superplex, but Tessa fights off, wants the Avalanche Sunset Bomb, but Jordynne stops it, Tessa kicks Grace’s feet, looks for a Rope Hung Death Drop but Jordynne fights it off and smashes Tessa’s face into the turnbuckles but Tessa hits the Rope Hung Backstabber for two. Tessa looks for Magnum, but Jordynne cuts her off, they fight at the top, Avalanche Sack of Shit! They both sell the exhaustion of the match so far.
They trade blows, two Scoop Slams from Jordynne, Lawn Dart into the Top Turnbuckle! Package Powerbomb for two! Dragon Suplex attempt from Grace, Tessa breaks it, Headlock Takeover, quick counter wrestling, Tiger Destroyer from Tessa! Only for a two count, but still nice. Buzzsaw attempt is shrugged off, Tessa comes off the ropes and eats the Spinebuster from Jordynne for two quick pinfall attempts. Tessa with the Body Scissors and pulls herself up and fights back, Jordynne slaps her around, looks for the Suplex but Tessa slips it and Neckbreaker Counter for a two count! The brawl to the apron, Grace eats a forearm and Tessa hits the Tornillo on Jordynne! They posture on the steps, Tessa wants a move but Jordynne counters her and Spicolli Driver from the stairs to the floor from Jordynne!
More back and forth in the corner, just positioning and counters, it’s like watching chess. Jordynne grabs Tessa for an Avalanche Air Raid Crash, but Tessa fights it and turns it into an Avalanche Crucifix Bomb! After trying a grounded submission Tessa locks in the Octopus, tries to wrench the fingers but Jordynne counters, Rope Assisted German Suplex into a Capture Suplex for 2! Kudome Valentine attempt from Grace but Tessa gets out, Backfist from Jordynne, Tessa bounces off and Cutter gives her a two count! Tessa calls for Magnum, Jordynne dodges it, Tessa rolls through, tries boots but Grace grabs Tessa and hits the around the world Reverse Alabama Slam! Tessa keeps trying to remove Buckle Pads but they’re on good, Tessa reverses out of the Kinikku Buster, hits the Buzzsaw into the partially exposed buckle but Grace grabs the rope. Tessa removes another pad, Bulldog into exposed buckle, Magnum, and Tessa is still sexy.
The turnbuckle pads being on too well made the finish a little flat, but it was a damn good match. There’s also a joke in the match with Tessa coming out wearing Red and Gold (Yellow), so the racism allegations are never going away if she keeps making it easy.
I Quit Match: Josh Alexander vs Mike Santana
There’s intensity but its all just technical tactics to take each other to the ground and grab a limb. But since we just came off of a pretty good match, things can’t start too hot. Every time Santana throws Josh to the outside, Josh scurries back to the ring, he’s playing scared. There’s a “He’s a bitch” chant that pops up. Santana cuts off Josh’s charge with a few well placed boots which sends Josh outside, Tope con Hilo levels the bald man. Santana throws Josh into a guardrail, Yakuza Kicks back to back rock Josh a bit. Fans call for tables and Santana slides one out to a huge pop. Santana sets it up, plays to the crowd, tries a Powerbomb onto the table but Josh slips it and Overhead Belly to Belly sends Santana crashing. A fan can be heard saying “That look like it hurt” to which Santana replies ” It did asshole”. Now Josh is dissecting Santana’s legs to soften him up for the Ankle Lock. Josh goes for the corner spot with the Figure Four around the post after bouncing the knee off the post a few times.
Josh tries to continue but Santana slides out and counters Josh and bounces his face off the post. Josh walks it off a bit as Santana stalks him and then a quick Chop Block has Santana writhing in pain. Josh decides to be a heel and do the Three Amigos instead of the Kurt Angle Germans. Disrespectful bald jerk. Santana gets throated, dropped to the apron on his ass, Low Crossbody but Santana flattens out and Josh goes flying! Santana tries a Dive, but Josh catches him and just drops him spine first on the apron. After a small resilient flurry of slaps from Santana Josh goes for the Germans. Santana brushes off on the third, goes for the Rolling Buck Fifty, gets caught in the Torture Rack, Santana fights off Josh’s shoulders, kicks him into the corner, Senton into the seated Josh. Perches him up top, points at the table, tries something but Josh fights him off, Moonsault from Josh misses and a Death Valley Driver gives both a moment to breathe.
Santana Spin the-BLOCK-ED! Josh sweeps the leg, Ankle Lock and Santana refuses to quit twice but slips the boot ala Eddie Guerrero. Josh pauses a moment, Santana charges and Josh dumps him over the top rope through the table! Santana says he doesn’t quit, Josh looks surprised, so he goes looking for more plywood. He also grabs the bottom set of stairs and throws them into the ring. Scoop Slams Santana into the broken table and continues looking for weapons, like a chair and zip ties. Santana crawls into the ring, Josh steps on the worked on leg and smashes it repeatedly with the chair. Josh goes into Full Mount, rains down strikes, exposes the elbow for Elbow Strikes and tries to soften him up for the zip ties. C4 Spike but Santana raises up like the Undertaker and fires into beating the piss out of Josh. Frankensteiner on Josh into the Frog Splash, Spin the Block! Josh doesn’t quit. Santana grabs the zip ties that Josh introduced, ties the hands behind Josh’s back, Spin the Block 2! Josh doesn’t quit. Santana sets up the steps as a ramp, table in front of Josh in the corner and Cannonballs through the table into Josh! Josh still doesn’t quit off the Jackass stunt. Santana finds a sock filled with quarters and starts beating Josh like it’s a slapjack. Josh still doesn’t quit. Santana tells Josh to bite the curb and is about to Curb Stomp him into the steps and Josh gets scared and quits.
TNA Tag Team Championships: The Hardyz (c) vs The Rascalz
Fraxiom comes out to watch the match, so this nicely sets up a potential early angle between NXT and TNA for the crossover.Â
Trey and Matt start, but it’s a slow Headlock basic counters and feint spots. Jeff and Wentz want to play, so this is very Japanese in giving each member a free chance to interact before any cutoffs or tandems. The crowd likes both men, so this is interesting but more Stalemate spots. Jeff manages a Polish Hammer to tag in Matt and go for a quick tandem move and keep Wentz in the Hardy Corner bouncing his face off buckles in Delete fashion. Tag from Jeff for another tandem Rocket Launcher into the bottom rope and Leg Drop from Jeff. Wentz counters the Twist with a Jumping Knee so he manages a tag to Trey and then a few quick striking double team spots. Quick tag to Wentz, Matt comes in to break it up, drops Matt and Wishbone. Quick Tag, MCMG ACS Rush homage. Wentz Dives onto Matt on the outside, Matt catches him into the Side Effect on the floor! Jeff gets the best of Trey after he’s a little distracted. Manhattan Drop from Jeff, into a tag to Matt and then some double team strikes for a near fall. Delete Head Smashes again on Trey.
Vertical Suplex from Matt for another 2. Matt tags out and Hardys look for more Tandem attacks, Plot Twist but Wentz recovers and makes the break! Trey flips out of Jeff’s arms, tags in Wentz, and Wentz cleans house on both Hardys. Corner to corner, tags back in Trey they hit the Saki Kashima assisted Dropkick on each Hardy and then they dump the Hardys at the feet of Fraxiom. FIVE HOLE DIVE FROM RASCALZ! Misses the Hardys and hits Fraxiom! This builds heat for The Rascalz and Fraxiom as Hardys attack the Rascalz while distracted. Poetry in Motion off the stairs from Jeff!
Facebuster from Jeff for two! Wentz hits a Busaiku Knee on Jeff to stop him from hitting Trey, Side Effect drops Wentz, Enzuigiri from Trey drops Matt and all four are down to catch their breath a bit. Original Poetry in Motion on Trey! Twist of Fate from Matt but countered and Matt is thrown into Jeff who’s selling a knee. Superkick into Feed Em to the Lions! Wentz Dives on Matt but Trey can’t quite make a clean pinfall. Jeff eats a Cheeky Nandos and Top Rope Tiger Feint, Twist of Fates for everyone and Jeff re-NO Trey kicks out! Another Twist but eats a Superkick from Wentz, tries the UFO Cutter on Matt but Matt just throws him to the outside. A Twist of Fate from each Hardy Boy, Swanton Bomb and the Hardyz retain!
Thursday’s Live Show will have Fraxiom vs The Rascalz for the NXT Titles!Â
Raven’s Clockwork Orange House of Fun Match: TNA Knockouts World Championship: Masha Slamovich (c) vs Rosemary
Do Rosemary’s shorts have Pokemon Gym Badges on em? Masha goes for the Staple Gun, it almost gets countered immediately, but she gets the first few clicks of the Staple gun, it actually doesn’t backfire, but she lets Rosemary powder and starts grabbing a few weapons. Masha finally decides to attack Rosemary with a cane, but Rosemary turns things around with the green mist. Slamovich gets some of the mist out of her eyes, chases her into the ring and eats a Drop Toehold into a Chair. Rosemary sets up the table, panders to the crowd and Masha launches herself over the top with a Crossbody, into Rosemary and then through the table! Masha finds her old chain she used to make Killer Kelly submissive and starts choking and dragging Rosemary around the ring and then Sabus the chair at Rosemary for emphasis.
Masha tries to hit the front flip Senton onto a seated Rosemary, but Rosemary moves and Masha hits the chair weird. Rosemary beats her with a chair a few times, looks under the ring, gets giddy and finds Janice! Rosemary swings Janice, breaks it, and then uses the two pieces to block the cane Masha had and then pressed the nail portion into Masha’s back! Rosemary is talking to Janice and goes to the back to find tacks that she spills out on the stage. Rosemary wants a Chokeslam into tacks, Masha counters, misses a Lariat and then eats the Spear into the tacks! Barbed Wire board is set up in the ring, Spicolli…nope! Russian Death Device into the Barbed Wire! Masha goes to the top, Footstomp into the barbed wire but only for 2 again! Masha goes to the outside and grabs a ladder.
A trash can lid gets thrown at Rosemary for good measure, Masha ascends the ladder and then Rosemary pushes the ladder and Masha goes crashing through one of two tables set up on the outside. Rough spot, rough looking, but Masha manages to move enough to break the pinfall since its falls count anywhere. Rosemary now goes full Kevin Steen and makes some chair art for a spot, drags Masha into the ring, sets he on the chairs and goes to the top. Masha sits up as Rosemary climbs, counters the momentum and Avalanche Requiem through the chairs! Masha retains.
Cora Jade’s music hits and sets up nicely after Masha was on NXT.Â
The Countdown Panel starts off with their main event picks they hinted towards and it’s necessary because they have to clean up the ring. Mark Henry picks Joe Hendry, and he better be correct. Ryan Nemeth interrupts with the “my brootthhheerrr” stuff, and Santino calls him “Fuck Face Guy”. It’s all good stuff, and I’m still a big fan of the Mokuba gimmick, but now they ban Ryan Nemeth.Â
TNA World Championship: Nic Nemeth (c) vs Joe Hendry
Simple chain wrestling start until Nic has a few words and then snaps off a Dropkick, does his show off Dolph stuff so Hendry runs him over with a Shoulder Block and then a Knee Lift. Hendry tries his Stalling Suplex but Nic slips it into a Rear Naked Choke! Hendry spins Nic around, walks around with the Stalling Suplex before finally dropping Nic. Ryan Nemeth shows up with a ticket, so he’s sitting in the crowd now. Joe gets distracted just enough for Nic to jump up and hit a delayed DDT. After Nic tries to stretch Joe a little, Hendry goes into locomotion Cradles but Nic drops Joe to take a breather. Nic does his single Shot to the Heart Elbow and he’s really embracing the old Dolph Ziggler show off ego. Ziggler looks for a Rude Awakening after more arrogant moments, but Joe tries to fight it off, so Nic just snaps off a Jumping Neckbreaker.
Joe manages to hit a Cutter off the ropes to try and get some energy from the crowd. Strike exchange happens here, Uppercuts from Joe and Fists from Nic. Joe blocks one fist, throws a few of his own together and a Lariat levels Nic. Sack of Shit into the Kip Up! Counters galore from both men before Nic gets caught in the Pop-Up Powerbomb! Attitude Adjustment for just a near fall. You see moments of Nic trying to cheat or find an angle but he hasn’t done anything overtly heelish yet. Joe is rocking him with chops, perches Nic on the top, looks for the Superplex but Nic fights back, Hendry gets pushed off, Crossbody but Hendry rolls through, holds on and gets his Powerbomb countered into a FAMEasser for two! Nic crawls to a corner, looks to climb for something big, Hendry cuts him off, Avalanche Sack of Shit! Kaz walks out with the trophy as both men sell, but JBL comes out of the crowd and Clothesline from Hell on Kaz. JBL punches Ryan in the face as he comes out to say something. Then Tuxedo JBL leaves after doing his job. Standing Ovation from HENDRY! 1-2-NO! Nic kicks out!
The crowd chants “One More Time” and it fires up Hendry, he does the heel turn and goes full Queen Stomp, tries again, but Nic slips it. Superkick into Danger Zone and it’s….HENDRY KICKS OUT! Nic is tuning up the band, Hendry catches Nic, Sack of Shit, Kip Up, big fire, Standing Ovation! JOE HENDRY WINS!
Overall Score: 7/10
Even if the match quality wasn’t bonkers, mostly all the matches did what they needed to do, were fairly good and a good number of NXT talent showed up to make the Live iMPACT! and TNA really feel like something special right now. I’m an unabashed Tessa fan, so I’m giddy she won and Hendry finally getting the title is the latest they could’ve really dragged this out to, but at least it stops him from becoming Tetsuya Nai-Joe.
I’m not gonna be a hypocrite from previous complaints I made with too many champions being babyfaces, because that’s still bad and proves the next few title defenses could prove volatile. However, I of course just enjoy most of the current champions. So while it doesn’t erase the fact it’s bad, it makes it more palatable for me personally. Now if only PCO destroyed the Knockouts Tags instead of a different irrelevant belt.
Also let’s be very clear, anyone that believes the PCO stunt was a legit shoot doesn’t know wrestling. Everything is a work until it isn’t and then it still could be turned into a work. Don’t be gullible and just anticipate something to be worked out of it one way or the other.
Still though, good show with a lot of hype for the Live iMPACT, so Thursday should be fun! See you there!
