PLAY BY PLAY
AJ Styles is here!
The fans are torn as the Phenomenal One makes his way to the ring. Last week was Styles’ return after three MONTHS of being away after what The Bloodline did to him, and he is going to start his revenge tour against Solo Sikoa later tonight. But for now, Styles gets a mic to say, “Randy Orton wants Roman Reigns at the Royal Rumble. LA Knight… wants Roman Reigns any time, any place, anywhere. And I don’t blame either one of them. And I don’t give a damn about Randy Orton or LA Knight.” The fans boo but Styles wants us to understand: Styles is number one when it comes to getting his hands on Roman Reigns. Styles wants Roman at the Rumble.
But here comes LA Knight! The fans fire up as The Mega Star has his own mic, and he takes off his sunglasses to say, “LEMME TALK TO YA! I ain’t gonna come out here and argue with ya about who gets Roman Reigns first. If it’s Randy Orton, if it’s you, NAH NAH! Cuz there’s nothing to argue about. You gotta consider something right now. After what happened to me at Crown Jewel, I tell ya what. You can have Roman Reigns… after I get him first.” The fans say “YEAH!” Knight will put it like this: Roman Reigns is gonna get Knight first with everybody saying “L A KNIGHT, YEAH!!” But considering what happened last week, the first one on Knight’s list damn sure better be Styles!
Oh, Knight forgets so easily that he stepped over Styles’ dead body to get his match with Cena against The Bloodline, then got his title match at Crown Jewel. Knight joins Styles in the ring as Styles says if anyone gets in his way, he’ll drop them, too. So here comes Randy Orton! The Viper makes his way out here, a mic of his own in hand. Orton can appreciate both Knight and Styles and their issues with Roman Reigns & The Bloodline. But… Roman Reigns & The Bloodline put Orton on the shelf for 18 MONTHS. Now Orton enjoyed being at home, but he was missing his second home which is this ring.
So Orton will tell Styles and Knight, nothing will get in his ring. But then Knight stops Orton there. No disrespect, but to point something out, The Bloodline took Styles out, and The Bloodline took Orton out. But does anyone remember them taking Knight out? NAH NAH! So that makes Knight bulletproof. Orton and Styles fell, so that means they can take all they want out on The Bloodline, but Knight gets Roman Reigns! Nick Aldis walks out here to have these three calm down. He wants to have their attention for just a moment. This is in fact a situation we find ourselves in.
As Aldis sees it, they all have a legitimate claim at Roman Reigns, so he’ll give them a legitimate opporutnity to earn that shot at Roman Reigns. So in two weeks, SmackDown: New Year’s Revolution, it will be AJ Styles VS LA Knight VS Randy Orton in a Triple Threat #1 Contender’s Match! The winner moves on to face Roman Reigns at the Royal Rumble. The fans like the sound of that! Styles says fine, whatever it takes to get at Roman. See you two at New Year’s Revolution. But if anyone gets close to this ring during Styles’ match with Solo, he takes them out, too. The Phenomenal One, The Mega Star or the Apex Predator, who will win out to face the Head of the Table?
8 Woman Tag Holiday Havoc: Damage CTRL VS Bianca Belair, Shotzi Blackheart, Mia Yim & Zelina Vega!
Bayley, Iyo Sky, Asuka & Kairi have issued their mission statement to take over the ENTIRE WWE Women’s Division, but standing in their way is perhaps the wildEST quartet yet! Will Bianca, Shotzi, #Michin & La Muneca deck the halls when they deck DMG CTRL? Or will the Role Model, Evil Genius & Kabuki Warriors be having the Happy New Year?
SmackDown returns as DMG CTRL makes their entrance. The bell rings and the eight all brawl! No disqualifications, no count-outs, no tagging needed, it’s just pinfall or submission to win! As such, most of the brawling spills out to the outside, Shotzi sending Bayley into barriers, and Bianca stomps a mudhole into Iyo in a corner. Fans fire up, Dakota can only watch as Bianca whips Iyo corner to corner. Iyo reverses, Bianca goes up and over, then Bianca wrenches and reels Iyo in to suplex! Iyo slips free, pulls the hair, but Bianca uses that to reel Iyo in. Iyo ducks, dodges, handsprings, and the two stand off.
Iyo taunts Bianca, Bianca runs in, but Iyo dodges, drops, but Bianca handsprings to DROPKICK! Bianca kips up, fans fire up, and Bianca eggs Iyo on. Iyo runs in but Bianca wrenches to a stalling suplex! Cover, Bayley breaks it! Bayley stomps Bianca, kicks her out of the ring, but Shotzi is back to BOOT! And Shotzi has a big present box! Shotzi opens it up, and she got a chair for Christmas! Shotzi sets that down but Bayley DECKS her! Bayley stomps Shotzi, takes the chair, and she sits it up in a corner. Bayley brings Shotzi over, but Shotzi fights the suplex to wrench and whip. Shotzi drop toeholds, but Bayley keeps from hitting chair!
Bayley fires forearm son Shotzi, but then Shotzi gets around and wheelbarrows, victory roll! TWO, and Bayley swings. Shotzi blocks to CHOP! And then Shotzi knuckle locks to go up and up and FLYING ARM-DRAG! Bayley staggers, Shotzi ENZIGURIS her down! Shotzi grabs the chair, brings it around, and then runs to use it as a step, for the BALLPIT SENTON! Fans fire up while Bayley bails out. Shotzi slides her chair out, then coordinates with teammates. Mia gets up to open the ropes, so that Shotzi can DIVE! She takes out Bayley AND Iyo and they almost hit presents! Mia & Zelina now coordinate, but the Kabuki Warriors SMACK them with kendo sticks!
Asuka hits Zelina, Kairi hits Mia, then they soak up the heat. But Bianca & Shotzi return, they have kendo sticks, too! SMACK for Asuka and SMACK for Kairi! Fans fire up, Dakota panics, but then Bianca & Shotzi head out to go looking for goodies under the ring. They find a TABLE! The fans are loving this, but Bayley & Iyo attack first! Bayley & Iyo lift the table, and use it to CLOBBER Shotzi & Bianca! Fans boo as DMG CTRL dances and cheers, and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns in time for Bianca & Mia to DOUBLE SUPERPLEX Bayley onto present boxes! But then the Kabuki Warriors DOUBLE SUPER BACK SUPLEX Shotzi!! They’re all down and the fans are thunderous! Dakota coaches DMG CTRL, Iyo has Zelina on the outside. But Zelina turns suplex into DDT to the floor! Asuka stands, roars, “This is Awesome!” as Mia and Asuka dodge kick after kick. Asuka SOBATS, KICKS, and URAKENS! Mia blocks the buzzsaw to POWERBOMB Asuka! But Iyo springboard MISSILE DROPKICKS Mia down! Cover, Bianca breaks it! The fans rally, Bayley is back, but Bianca slips under to sunset flip! TWO!
Bianca kicks Bayley low, tosses her out, but Iyo rolls Bianca! TWO, and Iyo SHOTEIS! Iyo runs, Bianca kicks her, then has a present box! BOP, and the box is stuck on Iyo’s head! Iyo staggers around blindly, Bianca Electric Chair Lifts and Shotzi is up top! MERRY CHRISTMAS DOOMSDAY!! Cover, Asuka breaks it!! Asuka tosses Shotzi out, pursues, and Kairi smashes open a new box. She gets a trash can lid! TRASH CAN URAKEN for Shotzi!! Then Kairi sends Shotzi into a tree! But Zelina has a chair! She SMACKS Kairi! But Dakota PIES Zelina!! Zelina is furious, it’s all in her hair! But then Asuka BLUE MISTS Zelina!! That’s all in her EYES!
Asuka swaggers around, taunts Zelina, and Bayley CLOBBERS Bianca! Bayley TOSSES Bianca out, then coordinates with the others. Asuka stomps Bianca, Bayley joins in, and they call for the others. Kairi staggers up and over, pushes a tree down so she can stomp away on Bianca. Bayley sets the table up and calls for them to get Bianca in. The Kabuki Warriors feed Bianca to Bayley, and then decide to see what’s in the big boxes. They open it up, and SURPRISE! It’s Isla Dawn! And from the other box, Alba Fyre! It’s a Nightmare Before Christmas as these two beat up on the Kabuki Warriors!
Kairi gets put in the Gory Especial, for SOMETHING WICKED! Bayley is freaking out, but she hurries to go after Bianca. Bianca ELBOWS Bayley, but Bayley clinches in return! Bianca fights Bayley2Belly, torture racks, and KISS OF DEATH! But Iyo is up top, OVER THE MOONSAULT!! But Mia reels Iyo in, EAT DA FEET! Iyo ends up on the table, Mia goes to the corner! Mia climbs, and Mia SUPER SENTONS through the table!! Cover, Mia’s team wins!
Winner: Bianca Belair, Shotzi Blackheart, Mia Yim & Zelina Vega, by pinfall
DMG CTRL can’t believe it! The EST and team takes the win, with a little help from the spooky scary Fyre & Dawn. Will this all ruin things for DMG CTRL in 2024 already?
The Bloodline meets in their private suite.
Jimmy Uso says he knows what it is to be under pressure. You gotta be able to call the hot route, the audible. Right? Hands in, Solo on three. Roman Reigns is confused by all that. And he asks The Wise Man about this SmackDown General Manager. It’s Aldis. Nick Aldis. Then bring him to Roman. “Um, My Tribal Chief, if I could have a moment of your time to brief you on this Nick Aldis…” No, no. Bring him to Roman. Yes, My Tribal Chief. Heyman heads out, but will nothing Roman does intimidate the GM?
NXT North American Championship: Dragon Lee VS Pete Dunne!
The Boy Wonder made it through Charlie Dempsey AND Joe Coffey on NXT this past Tuesday, but he continues his series of defenses right here on SmackDown. Will Dragon Lee continue to reign through the holidays? Or will the Bruiserweight go from former NXT UK Champion to new NXT North American Champion?
SmackDown returns and Dunne makes his entrance. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who has a Feliz Navidad!
The bell rings and the two circle. The fans rally as the two tie up, and Dragon wrenches to a wristlock. Dunne rolls, kips, rolls again and wrenches. Dragon cartwheels, headlocks, but Dunne powers out. Dragon anticipates and victory rolls, TWO! Dunne hits a FLYING ARMBAR TAKEDOWN! Dragon stacks to a cover, TWO! Dunne avoids a boot, Dragon avoids a boot, and both men block kicks! They both let go quickly and fans applaud the standoff. The two reset, then Dunne DECKS Dragon! Fans applaud, Dunne drags Dragon up and wrenches to then wrangle Dragon down. Dunne grinds his elbow into the shoulder, then he drops knees on the elbow!
Dunne bends the arm, and the fingers, and he tortures Dragon! Dunne then stands to stomp the arm! Dunne CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS Dragon, then whips. Dragon ducks ‘n’ dodges and RANAS! Dunne goes to a corner, Dragon JUMP KICKS, leg sweeps, COMBINACION DRAGON! Dragon drags Dunne up, reels him in but Dunne gets free. Dunne CHOPS again, runs up, but Dragon pops him up and SUPERKICKS him upside-down! Dunne tumbles out, fans rally up and Dragon builds speed. Dragon DIVES into a GAMANGIRI! Dunne drags Dragon out now, and he APRON X-PLEXES! Dragon writhes and Dunne seethes while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and Dunne again tortures Dragon’s arm and fingers! Dunne goes piggy by piggy, but Dragon gets the ROPEBREAK! Dunne lets go to stomp Dragon’s arm! Dragon bails out, Dunne pursues, and Dunne stands on Dragon’s hands, to STOMP them on the apron! Then he ASAI- NO, Dragon dodges the moonsault! Dunne hurries back up, but into a FLYING RANA! Fans fire up, Dragon puts Dunne back in and Dunne goes to a corner. Dragon takes aim, runs corner to corner, BULL’S HORNS! Shoutout to his hermano, and Dragon reels Dunne in. But Dunne slips free of the bomb to TYLER DRIVER 98!! Cover, TWO!!
The shoutout to the Big Strong Boi wasn’t enough and Dunne grows frustrated. The fans rally, Dunne glares as Dragon stirs. Dunne sits Dragon up to CHOP! Dragon CHOPS back! Dunne CHOPS, CHPOS and CHOPS, but Dragon fires up! Dragon CHPOS, BOOTS, and ripcords, but Dunne ROCKS him with a forearm! Then an ENZIGURI! Dragon is right back to V-TRIGGER! Dunne stays up, Dragon runs in, but into a SNAP GERMAN! Dragon flounders up, but he sidesteps to SNAP GERMAN! But Dunne STOMPS the hands, BUZZSAWS, and then X-PLEX, that Dragon lands out of! Then he slips through to SIT-OUT POWERBOMB!! Cover, TWO!!
Dunne survives, the fans fire up, and “This is Awesome!’ Dunne goes to a corner, Dragon runs up, but Dunne BOOTS him! Dunne goes up, Dragon trips him up! Dragon has Dunne in the Tree of Woe then climbs up. But Dragon gets the fingers! Dunne SNAPS those! But Dragon still WOE STOMPS!! Dragon shakes out the bad hand, gets his fingers reset, and then runs in, but into a POP-UP FOREARM!! Dunne hauls Dragon up, pump handles and BITTER- DESTROYER?!? Dragon turns things around at last second, then runs in! OPERACION DRAGON!!! Cover, Dragon wins!!
Winner: Dragon Lee, by pinfall (still NXT North American Champion)
A fiery match between young stars, and Dragon shakes Dunne’s hand in respect. Will Dragon continue his win streak between both SmackDown and NXT? What will it take for Dunne to feel like himself again?
Paul Heyman returns to the suite.
The Wise Man smiles as he brings SmackDown General Manager, Nick Aldis, to The Tribal Chief. Roman has Heyman leave them, and then Aldis takes a seat. Roman asks Aldis how he knew Roman wasn’t talking to him. Well, Aldis wouldn’t care if he was. Very good. Roman says, “You booked the Triple Threat match?” Aldis did. And Aldis booked Solo VS Styles? He did. Those are pretty good ideas. Y’know what would’ve been better? If Aldis had ran it all by Roman first. See, Roman is the Tribal Chief, Head of the Table. Everything goes through him. Aldis needs to understand that. Adam Pearce did.
Well now Roman is just trying to hurt Aldis’ feelings. Roman has forgotten that Aldis is an executive. He doesn’t have feelings. But while on the subject of Pearce, Pearce was a middle management type. Aldis is a general manager type. The buck stops with Aldis. Aldis is the sharp end of the stick on SmackDown now. And speaking of Solo… He’s a big boy. He took care of John Cena! In a way that no one, not even Roman Reigns, did. So Aldis is looking forward seeing Solo VS Styles, just like Aldis is so looking forward to the Triple Threat match, and to the winner of that match facing Roman Reigns at the Royal Rumble for the Universal Championship.
But Aldis appreciated the invitation. He looks to more productive dialogue, and to getting to know each other better. Roman is seething, but has he been put in his place for once?
WWE United States Championship #1 Contender’s Tournament, Semifinal: Kevin Owens VS Carmelo Hayes!
Even with a broken freakin’ hand, the Prizefighter was able to KO Austin Theory Live. But now, for the first time ever, he faces… HIM. Will Kevin #JustKeepFighting his way into the finals? Or will even Kevin see that Melo Don’t Miss?
SmackDown returns as Melo makes his entrance. But Logan Paul has a new video message. Melo impressed Logan, but now he’s against the disgusting Kevin, who shouldn’t even have advanced because we all saw him cheat. “Where is your integrity?” The Maverick has his opinions, but will he have to eat his words one way or another tonight? The bell rings and the two tie up. Kevin powers Melo to ropes, lets off, and the two reset. They tie up, Kevin trips Melo and then has a headlock. Melo moves, Kevin slips around to a waistlock then a facelock. Melo trips Kevin now, but Kevin headlocks again.
They keep moving, Kevin waistlocks but Melo slips under to wrangle Kevin. Kevin has the ROPEBREAK, Melo lets off, and the two reset again. Fans rally, the two circle, and they tie up.

The OC finds AJ Styles backstage.
Mia is happy to have Styles back and she gives him a hug. Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows are also back, and Machine Gun points out they haven’t heard a thing from Styles. They didn’t think he was coming back. Is he good? Styles has Mia let him go, and he isn’t sure. Are they good? Styles leaves, the others aren’t sure what to make of that. Did something change about the Phenomenal One over these past three months?
Karrion Kross speaks.
“I know the power of words. How they lead to actions. We set the hour glass in front of the Bloodline. They were warned their implosion was coming, and we saw how that played out. I took away Drew McIntyre’s temperament, and he spiraled out of control. I took away Rey’s patience to such a degree, that he struck his own son in front of his mother. And just for fun, I took away Shinsuke Nakamura’s honor, and look at him now. But even the greatest proclamation is soon to be forgotten without a scribe. Without… authors.” Scarlett asks if we see the vision. Who are these giant silhouettes by Karrion’s side? Perhaps we’ll find out sooner rather than later.
WWE United States Championship #1 Contender’s Tournament, Semifinal: Santos Escobar VS Bobby Lashley!
The Emperor of Lucha vows to take what he feels is rightfully his, but he has to make it through The All Mighty. Logan Paul likes both guys, but do either of them think they really have what it takes to take the title? Logan says that is rhetorical, they don’t stand a chance. But will Logan again have to eat his words watching this one?
SmackDown returns as Santos makes his entrance. The bell rings and Santos rushes in, but Lashley CLOBBERS him! Lashley drags Santos up, whips him corner to corner and runs in to RAM him! Fans rally up, Lashley brings Santos around and bumps him off buckles. Lashley fires off hands, then clinches to OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Fans fire up, Santos flounders, and Lashley stalks him to ropes. Lashley drags Santos up, puts him in the corner, then TOSSES him across the way! Santos flounders, Ford & Dawkins joke that’s a homerun. But then Santos HOTSHOTS Lashley away! And GAMANGIRIS!
Santos heads up a corner, to leap, into a choke grip! Lashley TOSSES Santos up and out! Santos scrambles, practically afraid of Lashley’s incredible strength, and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and Santos builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit with the Arrow from Hell and down goes Lashley at the ramp! Fans rally for Lashley but Santos leaves him behind. The ring count starts, Lashley is dazed from the damage done during the break. Lashley gets back in the ring as the Profits coach him, but Santos KICKS away on a leg!

Security rushes to stop this masked interloper, gets him away, but Santos drops down to KICK Lashley! Santos runs up, but Lashley still hits the MILE HIGH SPINEBUSTER!! But then someone else in a mask CLOBBERS Ford! Dawkins rushes that guy, but he gets a JUMP KNEE from the first masked man! They mug Dawkins, Lashley storms after them, but Santos ENZIGURIS! Roll up, with tights! SANTOS WINS!!
Winner: Santos Escobar, by pinfall (advances to the finals)
Just who are these two fiends that helped Santos steal Christmas like the Grinch? IT’S GARZA & CARRILLO!! Santos celebrates with his new amigos, and claims this is his NEW family! Is this the beginning of un legado nuevo?
Backstage interview with Pete Dunne.
Cathy Kelley says tonight didn’t go his way, and Dunne says yeah, but he did what he always does, and that’s bring the fight. Dunne commends Dragon for bringing the fight, too, but then Pretty Deadly come walking in, singing carols. “On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me~… One~ lonely Buuutch~!” Dunne fires off on them both! Dunne RAMS Elton into a road case, fires off on Kit, but security rushes in! Aldis has them all stop! Aldis tells Dunne that they don’t fight back here, they fight in the ring. If Dunne wants Pretty Deadly, then he has to find himself a tag partner for New Year’s Revolution.
Dunne accepts that, but just who will join the Bruiserweight in going after Elton & Kit?
Logan Paul speaks, again.
“Y’know, I thought this tournament would lead me to facing the best WWE had to offer. But instead, it’s between a guy who cried over Rey Mysterio, and the other who won’t take his shirt off when he’s in the pool. Are you serious? Santos, you’re not in my league, brother. And Kevin, you look like if Reddit was a person. Let’s be honest with ourselves, boys. You’re both battling to see who’s gonna get pinned by the greatest and most relevant US Champion of all time. So please, boys, enjoy this temporary clout, because that is the only thing you’ll be getting from me.” Logan blows them a kiss, but the finals happen at New Year’s Revolution. Who wins out so they can shut Logan up?

My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown as their own go-home to the holidays and New Year’s Revolution. Great opening promo with Styles, Orton and Knight to establish the Triple Threat #1 Contender’s match, and really good stuff with Bloodline and Aldis. Aldis is definitely going to be that Face authority figure that stands in opposition to Roman, which is great stuff. Great main event match of Styles VS Solo but should’ve figured someone would disqualify that one. Great brawl, though, that then turned into the contenders brawling with each other. Orton VS Knight VS Styles is going to be great stuff, but I would think Orton wins with the Triple Threat keeping Styles and Knight strong in the loss.
Another big detail of the story is that Styles is at odds with The OC now. Or at least, he and Anderson are tense. Not sure what’s going to come of that but it’d be a shame if The OC had to continue on without Styles when factions are forming all over SmackDown. Kross’ promo suggests he’s got sidekicks now, and I’m pretty sure it’s going to be the return of The Authors of Pain. In fact, that information is probably out there on other sources right now. Which is great for AOP, they really should’ve been doing things all along. And also, Garza & Carrillo are back on SmackDown and teaming with Escobar, just as I anticipated.
Garza & Carrillo helping Santos win was a logical way around Santos having to beat Lashley, and in essence carries over the feud Lashley & The Profits were having with The LWO over to this new take on Legado Del Fantasma. We also got great stuff out of Kevin VS Melo, but I figured Kevin was gonna win this with Melo having more to do in NXT first. Only Logan Paul would need three promos in one night, but he’s just riling Kevin up to win the whole thing. Kevin VS Logan will be great stuff for the Royal Rumble, but I don’t think Logan’s losing that title just yet. But it is fitting that Logan has his titanium reinforced hand and Kevin has his special cast. It’ll be loaded right hand VS loaded right hand, first to get a clean shot in wins.
Great North American title match from Dragon VS Dunne, but the crowd sure was sleepy in the first half. It probably stems from how this episode was recorded right after last week’s episode, so they really were a tired crowd for once. But Dragon retaining makes sense, he’s got to carry this belt in NXT, too. And Dunne brawling with Pretty Deadly, I hope the New Year’s Revolution tag match is the call-up for Tyler Bate. If Bate isn’t gonna be a champion in NXT again, he and Dunne should reform British Strong Style and not just beat Pretty Deadly but get in on the tag title chase. Bate & Dunne VS Finn & Priest would be some great stuff.
And a great opening match with the Holiday Havoc 8 Woman Tag. It was just the right amount of wild action, and we got a surprise visit from the Wicked Witches of SmackDown! Fyre & Dawn have been waiting on a chance at the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships, they aren’t gonna let Asuka & Kairi jump the line, so that’ll be a great match to determine contenders on SmackDown’s end. And Mia getting the pin on Iyo, she gets her title match, but I am pretty sure Iyo retains. With Charlotte Flair out with injury and Bianca already having had her shot, this might be a nice holdover on the way to the Rumble, where Iyo doesn’t even necessarily need to defend the title, she can help the others go for their own titles per the DMG CTRL mission statement last week.
My Score: 8.8/10

Join Renee Paquette, RJ City & Jeff Jarrett in discussing, predicting and analyzing all the action about to happen in Glendale, Arizona!
Backstage interview with Ricochet.
Lexy Nair asks the One & Only how he feels going into not just AEW’s first Stretcher Match, but his own first stretcher match against the unpredictable Mark Briscoe. Ricochet says Lexy is smarter than Renee Paquette & Tony Schiavone combined, but that’s not saying much. That said, this is his first Stretcher Match, but while some say Mark is unpredictable, Ricochet says Mark’s brainless. Speaking of brainless, there have been a lot of discourse online about the rules of a Stretcher Match, so allow Ricochet to explain.
Rule one: Ricochet incapacitates Mark long enough to place his dumbass on a stretcher. Ricochet then rolls said stretch up to the lovely ambulance the local hospital has supplied for them. Ricochet puts the stretcher in the ambulance, close the doors, and Mark immediately receives the best medical care possible for the beating Ricochet just put upon him! Um, what’s rule two? Rule two is that there ARE no rules, outside of rule one. AHA~! Ricochet heads out, but will he make this Stretcher Match #OuttaThisWorld? Or will he fail to #ManUp against the Sussex County Chicken?

This was a wild way to wrap the Buy-In, and the ROH World Champion stands tall with his amigos! How much more madness will we see as AEW goes Double or Nothing?
The tradition continues…
Some events leave a mark. Fewer make history. Even fewer change history. But this event did it all! And though this is the seventh, luck will have nothing to do with it. Wills will be tested, violent acts will be committed, and legacies will be solidified. “With dreams of glory… and just plain anarchy!” Tonight, a mark will once again be left on the world. Because once again, AEW goes Double or Nothing!
2025 Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Finals: Mercedes Mone VS Jamie Hayter!
The CEO may be down to #ThreeBeltsMone, but she still feels entitled to this tournament’s legacy, the trophy with Owen’s name on it, and the title shot that comes with it.

Hayter survives that whiplash and the fans rally up. Mone drags Hayter up to bump her off buckles.
Mone goes corner to corner and METEORAS to the back! Hayter sputters but Mone soaks up the cheers and jeers with her CEO dance. Mone runs in, but Hayter dodge! And then she hits a BIG back suplex!

FTR w/ Stokely Hathaway VS Daniel Garcia & Nigel McGuinness w/ Matt Menard!
Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler may be the best tag team in wrestling today, but they are quickly becoming the worst two guys in AEW!
