Cody Rhodes speaks.
“NXT: the Ellis Island of sports entertainment. Where fresh new talent grows into superstars. Where familiar faces go for a shot in the arm. Tonight, this cutting-edge brand turns the page to a familiar chapter. A tag team tournament rich in tradition, prestige and honor: The Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. The art of tag team wrestling is about to take center stage, culminating in Clarksville, Tennessee at Vengeance Day. Eight teams are about to embark on a journey, but only one will survive, earn a future tag team title match, and the privilege of having their names engraved on the Dusty Cup forever.
“This tournament represents the man it’s named after. The hunger, the drive, the dream, to be remembered forever in the annals of time. For these eight teams, it’s not about finishing the story, it’s about creating their own.” The American Nightmare has set the tone, but who will set the pace? The opening round begins tonight, after the break!
Trick Melo Gang meets up backstage.
Melo finishes up a phone call and says he has good news. Trick isn’t sure he wants to hear it. Because Melo might tell him one thing and do something totally different, just like he did last week. Melo knows he said he’d stay in the back, but when HBK put out that tweet about a former NXT Champion coming here, he just worried who it was gonna be. Melo takes titles, not chances. So thankfully, Trick beat Waller all by himself like he said. But Melo wants Trick to understand, that since Trick asked for his help, it is Melo’s responsibility to make sure Trick succeeds. So Melo wants to holler at Trick about something real quick.
Trick says he understands where Melo’s coming from, and Trick did get the W. What’s Melo got? Well, we don’t know how long Ilja Dragunov’s gonna be out recovering, right? Right, no idea. But Trick will be ready. Of course! But Melo figured that while they wait, he’d pull some strings, and uh… They got the eighth spot in the Dusty Cup, baby! Let’s talk about it! Trick isn’t sure, though. He wants to stay locked in for his match with Dragunov. Okay, okay, but Melo feels this will keep him locked in and focused. Trick still isn’t sure. But Melo says good news: he DOES know! They’ll take this whole thing, win the cup AND the tag titles, and then we get Triple Crown Melo and Two Title Trick!
Cuz that’s all it is, and that’s all it’s gonna be! They shake hands and Trick Melo Gang is ready! Will this detour on the road to the top be good for these two? Or just for… HIM?
The bracket is set!
With Trick Melo Gang getting that eighth and final spot in the opening round, we have: Trick Melo Gang VS Edris Enofe & Malik Blade; Chase U VS The LWO; Nathan Frazer & Axiom VS Hank ‘n’ Tank Ledger; and this match up next…
2024 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, Opening Round: Bron Breakker & Baron Corbin VS Gallus!
There’ve been many an “odd couple” in tag team wrestling history, but the Big Bad Booty Nephew and Mr. No More BS is definitely one that sounds good on paper, but might not work in practice. Will Corbin regret not staying a Lone Wolf? Or will he prove to be #MeanerThanEvil running with a pack?

Somehow, someway, these two alpha males made it work as a duo! Will they keep this going until they’re added to the history books?
Tiffany Stratton goes to work on the Henley farm.
Per the deal made in last week’s match, Fallon Henley won and now Daddy’s Little Rich Girl has to work. No sign of her yet, though. As expected. That’s why Fallon got here early. Little Tiff Tiff is finally getting dirty under those pretty fingernails. Oh, here she is now. Tiffany arrives like cowgirl Barbie, and almost trips in her little high heel boots. She also almost throws up from the smells. Fallon tells Tiff she’s late. Tiff knows. She had to make sure she had the perfect outfit. She’s not seriously wearing that to work on a farm, is she? Fallon had stuff ready for her. EW, she’s not wearing flannel!
Just because Tiff got stuck in this “disgusting situation,” does NOT mean she can’t look good doing it. She’s good. Well, fine by Fallon. Let’s get to work. Tiff breathes through her mouth but that doesn’t do any better. And her heels are still having a hard time on the barn floor. How is she struggling already? The real work hasn’t even begun. Oh, Tiff? No, she’s perfectly fine. Right… Anyway, they’re gonna muck the stalls, feed the horses, and- Uh, sorry, she doesn’t speak “ranch.” What does “mucking the stalls” even mean? It means cleaning them. Then they’ll clean the saddles, the bridles, wash the horses, and if Tiff sees any dumpings-
Dumpings?! Yes. As in droppings. Poopy. Yeah, horse s*it. If you see it, pick it up and throw it away, okay? Tiff is freaking out already. We’ll check in on them later to see if Tiff survives even the first hour.
Lyra Valkyria is here!
The fans cheer the NXT Women’s Champion as she stands in the ring, and she says we all saw the start of the show, right? The opening recap package showed that she and Blair kicked the crap outta each other at New Year’s Evil. But despite being in the deepest Women’s Division the WWE has to offer, Lyra is confident she’ll finish 2024 as she started it: as your NXT Women’s Champion! Fans cheer that. Lyra continues to say that the thing about Blair is, she’s not going anywhere. Wherever this title goes, Blair will follow. So the question really is, “Who am I gonna face in four week’s time at Vengeance Day?”
Well, we’ll all find out next week, because Lyra spoke with Ava Raine. Ava said they’ll hold a 20 WOMAN BATTLE ROYAL! Fans like the sound of that! Lyra says there’s a twist, though. Because when it gets down to the final four, the match turns into a Fatal 4 Way! The winner of that Fatal 4 will face Lyra at- Lola Vice interrupts. She tells Lyra, “You’re only standing in this ring because your weird little friend, Tatum Paxley, saved your ass last week. Unfortunately for you, I still have my contract. Which means I could cash this baby in whenever I want.” Lyra says yeah, yeah, anytime, anywhere. Lyra gets it.
But what happened? Lyra thought when Lola came in here with her MMA background and all the hype, that Lola would be the one to turn this place upside-down. All we ever see Lola do is talk and talk and talk and talk about what she’s going to do. So what is it, Lola? Maybe she’s confused. Maybe Lola doesn’t know what Lyra’s here to do, but it sure ain’t watching Lola shake her arse on Instagram! Lyra is here to FIGHT Lola, the cage fighter! And see these people? Some of them don’t like Lola. A lot of them do, though. But one thing we can all agree on is that everyone wants to see the match happen!
The fans cheer that, but Lola says, “Callete, la boca.” Everyone LOVES Lola, she can’t help it! They’re like sheep! They follow Lola’s every move. Pero, she can’t blame them, they love the Latina Heat. Oh, really? Where’s the Latina Heat? Cuz the only place Lyra sees it coming from is Elektra Lopez. La Madrina, the one who held Legado Del Fantasma together. Lyra is wondering, when is Lola gonna break it to Lopez that she has no interest in using that contract to get a Women’s Tag Title match? Lyra says she’ll make it easy! Just have the match here and now! Get a ref out here! A ref hurries, Lola squares up, but Lopez SUCKER PUNCHES Lyra!
Fans boo as the lethal Latinas beat down Lyra! Lyra gets up, fights back, and she TACKLES Lopez! Lola CLUBS Lyra, drags her by her hair, but TATUM appears! Tatum ROCKS Lola, Lyra fires off on Lopez, and it’s a lot like last week! Lola & Lopez retreat, Lopez says it will be the two of them against Lyra and Tatum, anytime, anywhere! Tatum says she’s up for it! She and Lyra will never be separated! They belong together! Uh, since when did Lyra agree to that? But will a tag match be what it takes to settle this?
Meta Four watches the Country Strong break-up.
They sarcastically act like it’s so sad. Jakara Jackson says, “They break up, we get stronger!” They all cheer that, but Josh Briggs walks in. Real cute that Meta Four’s adopted the bear claw fist bump. Noam Dar says hey, Josh. Lash Legend “apologizes” that Briggs had to see that, seeing as how Meta Four is the group that caused the break-up. Briggs says, “You think we broke up cuz of you guys?” Well, duh! This is a safe space, let it out! Briggs tells Dar to get his head out of his ass. The trio all had different goals, it was mutual. And if not for Captain Sidekick, Oro Mensah, we all know Briggs had Dar’s number.
In fact, Briggs wants a rematch. Dar laughs at that, because Briggs lost by disqualification! And Oro is upset that he’s being called a sidekick. Well if Oro has a problem, then they can handle it in the ring! Briggs storms off, is he going to show he’s Country Strong all by himself? Or will the numbers still win things for Meta Four?
Ava Raine meets with Luca Crusifino.
The Legal Eagle is using photo evidence that he had a ropebreak, and he should not have lost. Ava says she’s not a ref, she can’t do anything about a bad call. And she’s waiting for another meeting, but promises to pass the concerns along. Luca says fair enough, and he heads out. Dragon Lee arrives and apologizes for not making it last week. Ava says that’s okay. But Dragon likes that the LWO handled things, and assures Ava that his work visa issues are out of the way. He’s back, ready to go. That’s great! Because in steps Lexis King. And the Drama King of NXT says that’s great. If there’s no mas visa issues, then the open challenges are back on the table. Or is he wrong?
Dragon says he was gonna issue one, but yeah, he’s always ready. And so is King, amigo. So much so, he had a contract drafted up so they don’t have to waste time waiting. Just sign on the dotted line. Dragon says bet, and he signs. Dragon promises his reign will continue to set records, starting tonight. Then it’s official. See you later, cabron. What did he call King? Don’t worry about it. But now that there’s more gold on the line, will King get his crown one way or another? Or will this truly be the Year of the Dragon?
Josh Briggs VS Oro Mensah w/ Meta Four!
A battle of former NXT UK Tag Team Champions comes to the forefront as both men want to prove they’re their own man. Well, at least one of them is. But will Oro being a sidekick actually come in handy for him? Or will not even having backup stop a Clothesline From Hell?
The bell rings and Oro fires off, but Briggs fires in return! Oro kicks a leg, ROCKS and CHPOS, but Briggs scoops and SLAMS! Then ELBOW DROPS! Cover, ONE!! Oro gets loose but Briggs brings him up. Briggs CLUBS Oro, scoops him again, but Oro fights free with elbows. Oro shoves but Briggs runs Oro over! Fans fire up, Briggs whips Oro corner to corner, then runs in to SPLASH! Briggs whips, wrenches, but Oro fishhooks! Then JUMP KNEES! Oro runs, but Briggs scoops for a SIDEWALK SLAM! Oro bails out, Briggs pursues, and Lash distracts the ref so Dar can get in the way. Briggs storms in after Oro, but Dar anchors a leg! Oro SUPERKICKS Briggs!
Fans boo as Meta Four gest away with that one. Oro CLUBS away on Briggs, puts him in a corner, but Briggs fights the snapmare. Oro CHOPS, CLUBS and BLINDSIDE FOREARMS! Cover, TWO! Oro storms up but Briggs throws body shots. Oro UPPERCUTS, clinches, but Briggs powers out. Oro dodges a boot, sweeps the legs, then BLINDSIDE LARIATS! Cover, TWO! Briggs is still in this but Oro throw down fists, then CHOKES Briggs! Briggs pushes Oro away but Oro drives in a knee! Cover, TWO! Briggs sits up but Oro CHOPS him! Briggs CHOPS back! Oro fires a forearm, but so does Briggs!
Briggs whips, Oro dodges and Briggs hits buckles! Oro clotheslines, clotheslines, and stomps a mudhole! Briggs puts Oro on the apron, only for Oro to claw the eyes! Oro dribbles Briggs off buckles, the ref counts, and Oro lets go at 4. Oro springboards, and RIDER KICKS! Cover, TWO!! Briggs is still in this and Oro argues the count. Fans rally for Briggs as Oro drags him up. Oro KICKS Briggs, KICKS and KICKS, but Briggs just scowls. Oro runs up, but Briggs blocks, to CHOKE SLAM!! Briggs aims from a corner, roars, but Jakara distracts the ref! Dar grabs at Briggs, but Briggs gets free as Oro runs in! Oro hits buckles, Briggs hits the CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL!!! Cover, Briggs win!!
Winner: Josh Briggs, by pinfall
For once, one is greater than four! Briggs glares Dar down, Dar says okay then. Will Supernova 11 end up giving Briggs that rematch one way or another?
NXT checks back in at the Henley farm.
Tiff pushes a wheelbarrow of hay, struggles to unload it, struggles to walk in those heels with a bucket of water, struggles to hose down a stable, and, well, just struggles in general. And Fallon smiles. Tiff says she’s done. Can they sit down? Her feet are killing her! Nope, that was just the start. But then a horse did “the thing” again, time to wash her. Fallon says that’s all you, Buttercup. Don’t call Tiff “Buttercup.” She didn’t. She was saying the horse’s name. Tiff does not wanna, but she is gonna. Tiff, meet Buttercup. And here’s a bucket and sponge. Have fun. Tiff asks Buttercup be nice to her.
Tiff puts her hat on a hook, and gets her hands in the water. She carefully dabs and wipes Buttercup, and is almost in tears by the end. She pouts her way back to Fallon and says no she’s done. She needs a shower, new clothes, and to be disinfected. She hopes Fallon enjoyed the show. Yeah, it has been a long day, hasn’t it? But Tiff can’t put a clean horse in a dirty stall. Why not? They’re filthy animals to begin with, and sleep on the hay, right? Yeah, no. Time to muck some stalls. Tiff says muck this. But here, look! A pink rake, just for her. Get to mucking. Tiff sees the absolute mess. To be continued!
NXT Tag Team Championships: Tony D’Angelo & Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo w/ Adriana Rizzo VS Out The Mud w/ SCRYPTS!

NXT Anonymous is watching.
The students of Chase U are talking, all very worried about the status of the school. Jacy Jayne & Thea Hail are there to explain Jacy’s plan. “We all know Chase U is in crisis mode right now. Attendance is down and this place is going under fast. And I get you guys and the entire student body have been trying to come up with the money, but it’s just not good enough. But I have an idea that is going to save the university from debt. I just need you guys to do exactly what I say, and we’ll be up and running and back on our feet in no time, okay?” Jacy shows the rest of her plan from her phone, instructing everyone on their part, but just what is this plan?
Backstage interview with Oba Femi.
Kelly Kincaid is with the NXT Men’s Breakout Tournament winner, and congratulates him on the win. It has only been a week, but does he have an idea when he wants to use his title match contract? Oba says this contract means that he can become NXT Champion whenever he wants. And just like the tournament, every superstar will crumble under his feet. And because he is “backed by destiny,” he could wait to cash-in at Stand & Deliver, or he could- be interrupted by Lexis King. King sarcastically congratulates Oba on the win, and says we all know if it wasn’t for Trey Bearhill, it would’ve been King VS Oba in the finals. And well, who knows what would’ve happened then.
But in the end, Oba earned his title contract from the tournament, while King earned his title shot with Dragon Lee with his own contract, and he’s getting that title tonight! So just keep plugging away, Oba. Because King is looking at the future NXT Champion in Oba Femi, while we see the next North American Champion in Lexis King, “The Face of Tuesday Nights.” After King wins, drinks on him, Kelly. King heads out, and Oba says if that match is in tonight’s main event, he might just have to watch. Is Oba going to change plans upon seeing King take on the Lucha Dragon?
Gallus throws a fit backstage.
Wolfgang is shoving stuff and Joe says to dust off. The game is done, they couldn’t have prepared for Bron & Corbin actually working together as a team. Joe then spots “family man” Ridge Holland walking by. Joe says that interview last week was “very touching.” Ridge really poured his heart out. Ridge says not to worry about him, worry more about Gallus. Oh, sorry, does Ridge not know how to act when someone isn’t scared of him? Joe has no fear. In fact, Ridge should be afraid of what Joe is capable of doing to him. Ridge knows how tough Joe is, okay? But look at him. There’s no fear in his eyes, either.
Joe says Ridge should’ve just stuck to being a Brawling Brute. Because now that Ridge is back in NXT, who knows how long Ridge will last! In fact, Gallus can take care of that. Gallus heads out, will Ridge show them a thing or two about Northern Grit?
Gigi Dolin VS Cora Jade!
The Toxic Avenger and the #GenerationOfJade have battled before, but the tables have turned since then! Now Cora is the obnoxious, self-centered, and toxic entity in the locker room, will she make NXT all about her? Or will Gigi put Cora in her place once and for all?
NXT returns as Gigi makes her entrance. The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, go around, and Cora wrenches to wring Gig, but Gigi rolls through.

Cora dusts herself off, storms back up on Gigi, and she stands Gigi up. Gigi throws body shots but Cora CLUBS Gigi down. Cora brings Gigi up, whips, and LARIATS! Fans boo as Cora looms over Gigi. Cora pushes Gigi around, talks trash, and says she runs NXT. But Gigi ROCKS her! And ROCKS her again! And again! But Cora YANKS Gigi into ropes! Fans boo again as Cora runs, and she ELBOWS Gigi in the back! Gigi goes to a corner, Cora runs in to SHINING WIZARD!

Cora hits buckles, hurries after Gigi, but Gigi ROCKS her, UPPERCUTS her, and fires off a strike fest! Fans fire up as Gigi roars and CLOBBERS Cora! And CLOBBERS her again!

Cora sneers and fans boo, but Gigi ends up jaded. Will Cora make all of NXT feel the same way as the year rolls on?
OTM regroups in the parking lot.
Nima says they got played! They shouldn’t be leaving without the tag titles. Price says they really need to do something about that. But then they spot Jaida Parker. She says OTM needs to realize, this is The D’Angelo’s environment, open your minds up. So what’s she getting at? Jaida says where she’s from, they see that stuff coming a mile away, and yet OTM fell for it? They’re better than that. She’s right. She knows she’s right! So first thing’s first, who got that rizz? No one speaks up, and that’s what she thought. She’s just saying, she’s the missing piece. So what’s up? OTM is in agreement, let’s talk business.
2024 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, Opening Round: Nathan Frazer & Axiom VS Hank Walker & Tank Ledger!
The Jersey Island Rocket keeps putting his foot in his mouth backstage, riling up pretty much anyone and everyone he talks about. But the Undeniable Truth is still willing to be Frazer’s friend, and they’re looking to take the Dusty Cup in a flash! Will these two prove to be a truly dynamic duo? Or will Hank ‘n’ Tank have that breakout moment they’ve been waiting for?
The teams sort out and Hank starts against Axiom. They tie up, Hank throws Axiom down, but axiom gets up to throw hands. Hank whips Axiom away to a corner, runs up, but Axiom goes up and over. Axiom keeps moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges, tilt-o-whirls, but Hank throws him away to then BOOT him down! Fans fire up, Hank hauls Axiom up, and back suplexes. Axiom lands out on his feet, dodges Hank again and DROPKICKS him! Hank staggers, Axiom runs up but Hank whips him away. Frazer tags in, Axiom dodges Hank to dropkick legs out, then Frazer headlocks. Hank powers out, and he SPLASHES Frazer in the corner!
Tank tags in, he and Hank SANDWICH Frazer! Fans fire up for the working men as Tank goes for Frazer’s legs. Frazer kicks Tank away, goes to ropes, but Tank YANKS him up! Frazer lands on his feet to PELE! Hot tag to Axiom, he runs to ROCK Tank! Frazer ROCKS Tank! Axiom LARIATS and Frazer DDTS! Axiom covers, TWO! Axiom keeps an eye on Hank but goes back for Tank. Axiom KICKS Tank in the ribs! Tank sputters, Hank coaches him up, and Axiom aims again. Tank blocks the kick! Axiom SLAPS free! Tank runs up, blocks the roundhouse, and then runs. Hank tags in., gets Axiom up, and TOSSES him into buckles!
Hank scoops to SLAM Axiom down! Fans fire up with Hank again, he hauls Axiom up to CHOP, then he tags Tank. Hank swings, Axiom counter punches, but Hank still scoops and SLAMS! Tank slingshots to SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Axiom hangs in there but Tank drags Axiom up. Axiom CHOPS, Tank gut wrenches to the Canadian Rack! Axiom fights free, dodges Tank and he GAMANGIRIS Hank! Axiom goes up and over Tank, tags in Frazer! Frazer fires off on Tank with forearms, runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, and then CLOBBERS Tank! Fans fire up and Frazer CHOPS Tank in a corner!

Winners: Nathan Frazer & Axiom, by pinfall (advance to the next round)
It was fast and furious, but the high-flyers make it through to the next round! They’re going to face Bron Breakker & Baron Corbin in the next round, will the super friends make it through the two alpha males?
NXT returns to the Henley farm.
Tiff pep talks herself, and promises she will erase every smell from this horrible day from memory. Fallon and her family all have a laugh. Does Tiff not realize she will now have to move that wheelbarrow with it that full? It’s what she gets for talking bad on Fallon. And look how dirty she got. Though, she is lasting longer than Fallon expected. She wouldn’t be a bad addition. Tiff encourages herself, but the more she talks, the more she smells and she almost throws up. And then she gets a bunch of it flung onto her. Fallon says Tiff is all done. How did it feel to do real work and eat her words?
Tiff says this is NOT real work. This was hell! The worst day of her life! Because for one day, she felt what it was like to be Fallon, smelling like disgusting horses and living her repulsive life. Tiff pities Fallon because Fallon enjoys this literal crap. Something is seriously wrong with Fallon if she thinks this is any way to live. But Tiff finished, did everything Fallon asked of her, and did it despite every fiber of her being. Fallon speaks up but Tiff says no, she is leaving! Then she steps into a big pile of poop, falls over and lands right in a water trough. Fallon says she was just gonna say Tiff missed a spot. But yeah, Tiff’s free to go.
Fallon and the family leave Tiff to throw a tantrum in the water. Will Tiff ever live this down?
Malik Blade & Edris Enofe talk backstage.
They’re feeling like it’s Christmas all over again, because next week can’t get here fast enough. Their roll in the Dusty Classic is just getting started! They’ll get their names on that Cup! They’ve had their starts and stops, but this year, there ain’t no stopping them now! What’s crazy is, everyone talks about their opponents, Trick Melo Gang. That’s cool and all, because those two have been the talk of NXT all 2023. But Malik & Edris will put an end to that! Everybody knows Trick Melo Gang ain’t on the same page, but Malik & Edris are reading the same book. They’ve been friends just as long as Trick Melo Gang!
But Edris knows exactly what they need to turn their careers around, and it’s this tournament! Hey, hey, guys! Who’s ready to change their lives? Uh, hey, Brandy Reece, right? #BrandActive. What’s up? Brandy asks if they want to, but is sure they do. She isn’t getting any vibes from them, but let’s get started with stretches! Because when you stay active, you’ll have six packs just like that. Um, okay, Brandy, but they’re covered on that. WOW! Okay, impressive. But if they need a program, hit her up. Okay, bye. Brandy heads out, will the only program Malik & Edris need be winning in the Dusty Classic?
NXT North American Championship: Dragon Lee VS Lexis King!
The Boy Wonder, the Future of Lucha Libre, is back and getting right back on his open challenge series. Will he put the Drama King in his place at the same time? Or will the self-proclaimed Face of Tuesday Nights actually slay the Dragon?
NXT returns and King makes his entrance. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who truly sits on the throne!
The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, King powers Dragon to ropes but Dragon turns it around. The ref counts, Dragon lets off with a pat on the shoulders, and the two reset. They tie up again, King powers Dragon to a corner, the ref counts again, and King lets off. The fans chant “LEXIS SUCKS!” Dragon catches King to a headlock takeover, but King pulls on the mask! King headscissors, Dragon kips free, but King grabs an arm. King wrenches, hits an ELBOW BREAKER, then wristlocks. Fans rally, Dragon rolls, and he hooks a leg. King fights that off, but Dragon trips King up. Dragon has a toehold but King body scissor clutches! TWO!
King headlocks, Dragon powers up but King hits a takeover. The fans rally for Dragon and he fights up. Dragon powers up and out, King runs him over, and King soaks up the heat. Things speed up, King rolls over Dragon’s dropdown but Dragon runs. King drops, hurdles, Dragon leaps over, and then Dragon dodges to DROPKICK! King ends up in a corner, the fans fire up and Dragon runs in. But King puts Dragon up top, to DROPKICK Dragon to the floor! Fans boo but King builds speed, but Dragon avoids the wrecking ball dropkick! King gets tangled up a bit, gets himself free, and TREY BEARHILL is here!
Refs are holding big bad Bearhill back, King tells him to go away, but Dragon FLIES and takes King out! Fans fire up and NXT goes picture in picture.
Dragon looms over King as Bearhill is escorted away. Dragon CLUBS King, but King RAMS him into steel steps! Then BOOTS him down! King refreshes the count, storms up on Dragon, and whips him into barriers! King looms over Dragon, sits him up to KICK him in the back, then puts him in the ring. King covers, TWO!

The bell rings, Dragon fires off on Oba and the fans fire up! Oba shoves Dragon, catches Dragon, but Dragon ENZIGURIS! Dragon whips, Oba blocks! Oba whips and CLOBBERS Dragon! Then SHOT PUT BOMB!! Fans are thunderous as Oba aims, runs corner to corner, but Dragon SUPERKICKS!! Dragon hurries after Oba, TORNADO DDT! Dragon crawls to the cover, TWO! Oba is tougher than that, and the fans fire up as he rises to his feet! Dragon runs in again, OPERACION- NO!! Oba blocks that to pop Dragon up, into the POP-UP POWERBOMB!! Cover, OBA WINS!!
Winner: Oba Femi, by pinfall (NEW NXT North American Champion)
From Breakout Tournament winner to champion in just ONE WEEK, The Ruler now reigns!! The Year of the Dragon ends, is this now the Year of Oba?
My Thoughts:
A great NXT, with a wild ending that I didn’t think we were gonna get. Lexis King calling out Dragon Lee with his own stupid title contract as a sad approximation to the Breakout Tournament contract was actually a very clever in-character move. And then of course he doesn’t win, he’s got his own feud with Trey Bearhill still to do, and just isn’t ready character wise for a title. Oba cashing in for the fastest turnaround on a Breakout contract AND winning were both incredible surprises. But at the same time, perfect spot for Oba, this helps Dragon go back to SmackDown full-time, and it really freshens up that midcard picture for the New Year.
Great farm work vignettes from Tiffany and Fallon throughout the night, and it all went about as expected: Tiffany couldn’t hack it but she brushed it off like it doesn’t matter anyway, and then karma bites her as she ends up covered in poo and water. She and Fallon will surely go after each other in that 20 Woman Battle Royal, costing each other the title shot in the end. Speaking of, I like that idea of 20 Woman Battle Royal that turns into a Fatal 4. Great promo from Lyra and Lola and Lopez, and another brawl that Tatum gets involved in. The resulting tag match could go either way, but don’t expect a cash-in. I’m thinking Lyra upsets Tatum by rejecting her and then that ends up the Vengeance Day title match since it’s also kinda Valentine’s Day themed.
Great opening stuff with Blair and Lyons going from brawling to having the match. I guess there was supposed to be a part in there where they actually stopped fighting long enough to change into ring gear, but that seems silly to me. Blair winning out was fine, and if they’re in the 20 Woman Battle Royal, they probably also cost each other the title shot. Gigi VS Cora was also really good, and I should’ve figured Cora would win this one. Gigi probably costs Cora in the battle royal, and they have a rematch. At least one of these grudge matches is gonna happen at Vengeance Day, and perhaps under special stipulations.
Good promo from Briggs with Meta Four to set up Briggs VS Oro, and great win for Briggs. Briggs is still aiming for that Heritage Cup, and as much as I’d love for Briggs to win it with like a knockout clothesline, I can’t be sure the chances of Dar losing the Cup. And speaking of cups, great start to the Dusty Rhodes Classic. Great win for Bron & Corbin over Gallus, and I think fans were chanting “A-holes! A-holes!” in odd support of Bron & Corbin. Frazer & Axiom also have a great match and great win over Hank ‘n’ Tank, but it seems a shame Bron & Corbin VS Axiom & Frazer is already happening next round.
Good promo from Gallus with Ridge Holland, guess Gallus is moving on from Gacy. NXT Anonymous watching Jacy meet with members of Chase U’s “student body” is interesting, not sure why they couldn’t just introduce that as a camera in the room, but I guess if it’s framed by NXT Anon, it is meant to be like a secret is revealed. Now everyone knows, or is at least led to believe, Jacy has a shady plan to fix things. Great tag title match, though maybe one false finish too many. I forget what OTM’s finisher is, but there’s half a chance Tony buried it tonight. But in OTM’s defeat, they are adding Jaida Parker as a female member, that’s good for all parties involved.
And then there’s a nice new wrinkle in the Trick Melo Gang story. Melo of course wants to keep Trick close by having them go for the tag titles together, which I always felt like they should’ve tried for before. But now it’s because Melo is being two-faced. Malik & Edris had a good promo responding to that news that was confusingly sidetracked by the debut of Brandy Reece (at least I think that’s the name), who also confusingly has the newest fitness guru gimmick. HBK is doing a great job, don’t get me wrong, but this is a bit too old school of a move from him, unless Brandy really does wanna be like the modern day Simon Dean or whatever.
But back to the tag tournament, I feel like Trick Melo Gang is going to make it through the first round, only to implode against the winners of Chase U VS LWO. Which is a shame for Malik & Edris, they really do deserve something finally. Maybe they’ll surprise us with Malik & Edris getting the win and that adds tension to Trick Melo Gang’s already damaged friendship, getting us that much closer to Melo snapping and revealing he did attack Trick. But at this point, if we’re waiting until Dragunov VS Trick for Vengeance Day, is Trick VS Melo gonna be like the go-home or something? Or maybe Melo forces things into that Triple Threat he wanted a couple weeks ago after all.
My Score: 8.9/10

The Dark Angel starts her Double Header to start the show, and Miss Parker is ready to take her shot on goal! Will Jaida get out the mud with this one? Or will she learn that La Primera don’t play, either?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and both title and history are on the line!
The bell rings and the fans duel already. The two tie up, go around, and Jaida knees low! Jaida wrenches, wristlocks, and YANKS the arm.

Jaida endures, crawls back, and reaches out to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Vaquer lets go, but Jaida runs up. Vaquer dodges, comes back, and tilt-o-whirls to a roll-up! TWO, Vaquer dodges Jaida and sits her down for body scissors! Gedo Clutch, TWO! Jaida escapes that one and the fans fire up. The two reset, circle again, and tie up. They’re in a deadlock, but Jaida powers her way to a facelock. Jaida CLUBS Vaquer, headlocks, then THROWS Vaquer down! Jaida wraps on the body scissors, but Vaquer pushes back to a cover, TWO! Jaida CLUBS away on Vaquer, rolls her over to a cover, TWO!
Jaida facelocks, drags Vaquer up, but Vaquer wrenches free. Vaquer whips, Jaida reverses, but Vaquer RANAS! Jaida tumbles to a corner and the fans fire up. Vaquer runs up and LARIATS, but Jaida fires a forearm! Vaquer CHOPS, SOBATS, and whips corner to corner. Jaida goes up, over, and HIP DROPS! Jaida caught Vaquer with that one and the fans fire up! Jaida talks more smack before she rains down fists, and NXT goes picture in picture.
Jaida lets off of Vaquer to clap back at the Vaquer fans. Jaida whips Vaquer to a corner hard, then scoops for a BACKBRAEKER! Vaquer writhes, Jaida drags her back up, and Jaida whips Vaquer to then ROCK her! Jaida whips Vaquer and CLUBS her, then she brings Vaquer around for a snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Jaida stays on Vaquer with a facelock, and snap suplexes again! Cover, TWO! Jaida is annoyed, but she whips Vaquer, only for Vaquer to fire off forearms! Vaquer dodges a lariat, ROCKS Jaida again and again, but Jaida knees low! Jaida stands Vaquer up, runs and BLOCKBUSTERS! Cover, TWO!

Jaida digs her knee in more but Vaquer still endures. Vaquer fights back up, only for Jaida to CLUB her back down! Jaida whips Vaquer to a corner, then whips her back in!

Jaida staggers away, Vaquer springboards in and CROSSBODIES! Direct hit, and the watch party loses a few guests, such as Jordynne Grace. The fans fire up as Vaquer runs and dials it up, 619!

Winner: Stephanie Vaquer, by pinfall (still NXT Women’s Champion)
Jaida is beside herself, but she let someone else get in her head before the end. Refs rush out here to keep Jaida from going after Jordynne. The bottom line is that Vaquer still has the top title in the NXT Women’s Division. But FATAL INFLUENCE ATTACKS! The fans boo as Fallon, Jacy & Jazmyn mug Vaquer, wanting to soften her up for the main event! Jacy drops a SENTON, then another SENTON! Then a third SENTON! The fans boo as hard as they can, but will NXT once again be under the Influence?
Trick Williams paces backstage.
But he spots someone walking in and says he doesn’t wanna hear any of that, he doesn’t have time for it today. But Je’Von Evans says, “Deadass, I didn’t like how you pushed me to the side last week. I was focused on Dark State, and I was trying to tell you and Oba that-” Trick says Je’Von still doesn’t get it! Just because they’re from the Carolinas, they’re supposed to be brothers? Trick told him once and he’ll tell Je’Von again, the focus is on Stand & Deliver and the NXT Championship. Je’Von knows Trick’s obsessed with Oba, he’s been that way for the last four months! How is Trick focused so hard on Oba that he couldn’t do what Je’Von did and just drop him?
Trick says be real. Je’Von only dropped Oba because Oba was focused on Trick. Oh, really? Well, if Trick keeps on doubting Je’Von, then Je’Von will just keep on shocking him. Trick said Je’Von would never be champion, but tonight, Je’Von proves Trick wrong again. Trick says yeah, Je’Von has potential, good for him. Randy Orton said Je’Von’s got potential, there’s all these “cosigns,” but there’s a difference between having potential and having the title. Everybody can’t hold that title in the air. Je’Von says he thought Trick was mad before. But that title has really changed Trick into someone else.
Trick says it’s a champion thing, dawg. That’s something Je’Von doesn’t understand. Well, after tonight, Je’Von will. The Young OG heads out, but will he take the Drama King’s throne as Heritage Cup Champion?
The NXT Women’s Division Watch Party continues.
As the others murmur about how the opening match ended, Ava says she needs to go check on Vaquer. But Lash Legend says, “SKRRT! Excuse me, Miss Mayor.” Ava says, “Yes, Lashes?” Lash needs to check into why Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley have a title match with the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions when it should be the Meta Girls. Ava tries to start, but Gigi says maybe it’s because Ava is tired of giving Lash & Jakara opportunities and they lose. Ever think about that? Tatum says first, Gigi & Tatum will beat Ash & Heather By Elegance, and then they’ll bring those TNA titles to NXT!
Jakara says whatever, she and the Bougie Bully have been a real tag team a lot longer than anyone else in this room. Zaria steps up but Sol Ruca has her calm down. Lash tells them both to sit back down. Jakara says you don’t send girls to do a woman’s job. They ran up on Ash & Heather but Gigi & Tatum went and took their shot. Oh, “took their shot,” huh? Please, Miss Jackson. If you’re about the action, Gigi & Tatum will show them something. Lash says don’t even go there. The Meta Girls head out, telling Ava to fix this. Ava has a lot on her plate, but will Gigi & Tatum show they can make an impact?
Sit-down interview with Ricky Saints.
Vic Joseph sits down with The Absolute and says he has been waiting for this moment ever since Ricky arrived over a month ago. Ricky has already had some big moments, but there are those in the locker room that say Ricky doesn’t belong. It’s Stand & Deliver Season, tensions are high, is that all white noise or motivation? A bit of both. Ricky thinks it is funny, as there are superstars back there that have had a head start on him. And it wasn’t until he actually showed up that the decided to up their game. Vic and the fans are finding out just how confident Ricky is as a performer. And confidence can scare people.
That is what Ricky has been dealing with all his life. So coming here and getting that is nothing new to Ricky. Then where does Ricky find that inner confidence? Ricky says when he was breaking into the business, he was living out of his car. There were times he didn’t know how he was going to eat for that weekend. He didn’t know if he’d have money for food or clothes. But at the end of those days, the only thing he actually had was his confidence. The confidence in the fact that he was going to get out of that situation. That is why he’s sitting with Vic right now, in NXT and the WWE. It is because of that confidence.
Ricky wears the scars and battle wounds as pride. But wait, Shawn Spears interrupts? Vic tries to explain this is an exclusive interview, but The Chair Man says he is going to take it from here. Vic steps aside and Spears tells Saints to relax, he’s just sitting down. Spears says they’ve known each other a long time. Ricky says too long. Then why does Ricky think Spears didn’t ask Ricky to join The Culling. Because Spears knew Ricky would say no. Spears knew Ricky would say that, and tells Ricky that he’s wrong. Remember that conversation in Philly? How many times has Spears had to talk Ricky off the metaphorical ledge?
How many times did Ricky not believe in himself? All the advice he’s given over the years. The reason Spears didn’t offer is because, sadly, Ricky is still the same man he left over a year ago. Nothing’s changed. This arrogance is a plague everywhere Ricky goes. All he does is create a long line of enemies, and it is all his fault. Wow, what’s really weird to Ricky is that Spears doesn’t get how if he wants to be number one here in not just NXT but in WWE, it’s that he’s going to make enemies. Spears has heard that same thing, “You wanna make friends? Or do you wanna make money?” That is Spears’ point with Ricky!
Look at Spears! He is a champion in the WWE, with three of his best friends, family even, right by his side. Ricky says they’re the only reason he has that title. And Ricky is going to be the one to take it from Spears. Oh, so Ricky wants the North American Championship? Is he sure? Even though they both know what the outcome’s going to be? Do not add Spears to your long list of enemies, Ricky. You know what they are capable of. Jensen, Niko & Izzi step in, but Spears has them stay back. Spears tells Ricky that in case it doesn’t work out, he can always go back to… Oh, no, never mind. They both know Ricky burnt every bridge.
The Culling leaves, and Ricky says he’ll just have to win then. Will Spears still be so high and mighty when Saints comes marching in?
Other superstars finish watching the interview.
Wes Lee’s guys, Tyriek Igwe & Tyson Dupont, cannot believe this. What is Ricky doing? He can’t be for real. Wes says no, he is. It’s “Ricky ‘Everything is About Me Once I Walk Through the Door’ Saints.” But in time, he’ll realize he ain’t the guy around here. But don’t sweat it, it’s almost time for their match. Let’s get it. The Wes Side heads out, Ethan Page puts his coat up, and Kale Dixon tells Uriah Connors that Ricky is pulling an Ethan Page. That’s what All Ego did, didn’t he? That’s gotta suck. Ethan says two more words, and Kale will get knocked out again. Uriah steps up for Kale, but then Andre Chase steps in.
Chase tells Ethan, “What the hell is your problem? You know that’s not how we handle things here.” Oh, and this isn’t a classroom, professor, this is the real world. Yeah, and Ethan knows better. Kale & Uriah are young and inexperienced. Oh, then Chase better teach them that their words have consequences. Actually, Ethan forgot that their dead-end university is closed. Oh, is that how Ethan feels? Yeah! Then maybe Chase should teach them about sensitive tough guys like Ethan who can’t handle the truth. Ethan says, “We’ll see.” Ethan heads out, Chase tells Kale & Uriah that he’ll handle this. And seeing how eager they are, Chase lets Kale & Uriah follow.
Kale & Uriah are excited to see Mr. Chase handle business, but will All Ego stomp all over the name of Chase U?
Hank ‘n’ Tank walk ‘n’ talk.
They’re riled up from last week, being talked down to by Wes, but forget about last week. Right here, right now, these two will prove they’re not just two individuals. They are two minds intertwined! Nobody is more connected than the Bodacious Belly Boys! What does Motor City Machine Guns say to that? Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin are waiting and they like the energy. Hank ‘n’ Tank have got this! One time for the boys! HONK HONK! MCMG wants to see Hank ‘n’ Tank bring out that it factor, will this be the night they level up? Or will Ty & Ty show them what it takes to evolve?

Ava Raine checks on Vaquer.
Vaquer is being iced and taped up from that attack earlier, and the NXT GM says she should’ve known better. Is Vaquer sure she can defend the North American Championship tonight? After what Fatal Influence did, Ava- Vaquer stops Ava there. Vaquer is the double champion, and she will keep her word to Ava, to the NXT Women’s Division, and to her home country of Chile. Vaquer IS La Primer. Fallon will still get her title match. Okay, but is Vaquer sure? They can always reschedule. Vaquer says she’s sure, thank you. Vaquer heads out with both belts in hand but ice wrapped around her waist. Will Vaquer still make history by successfully pulling off the double header?
Backstage interview with Fraxiom.
Sarah Schreiber is with the NXT Tag Team Champions and brings up that the last time we saw them, they were battling it out with The Hardy Boyz at Roadblock. What was it like for Axiom to go home to Spain and push Der Ring General, Gunther, to his limits? Axiom says that was a dream come true. Axiom pushed the WWE World Heavyweight Champion to his limits in front of Axiom’s home crowd. His friends, his family! That’s a moment he’ll never forget. Nathan Frazer says him, too, amigo. Because Frazer didn’t get invited to that. But hey, it’s Stand & Deliver Season, and-
Axiom stops Frazer there. They talked about this. It was all meant to be a big surprise for everyone, and… Frazer has a big mouth. So- Oh, what is that supposed to mean? Does Axiom think Frazer was going to tweet it out or something? Well, he’s kinda done something like that before… Hey, maybe if Frazer was there, Axiom would’ve beat Gunther! Okay, what is that supposed to mean? Wait, as Fraxiom argue, someone pulls up. It’s OBA FEMI! And The Ruler does not look happy. Axiom gets out of there, and Frazer is unsure where he’s going. Frazer follows, will the dysfunction start up all over again?
NXT Heritage Cup Championship: Lexis King VS Je’Von Evans!
The Drama King continues to talk a big game, but perhaps changing the rules from British Rounds to First Fall might come back to bite him. Will this Cup still be Lexis’ prized possession? Or will the Young OG shock the world by adding his name to the Heritage Cup legacy?
NXT returns as Lexis makes his entrance. The introductions are made, the trophy is raised, and we see if this is still Lexis’ way and Lexis’ life.
The bell rings and the two approach. Lexis takes a swing, Je’Von dodges, and Je’Von asks if Lexis is still mad about last week. Lexis runs up, Je’Von headlocks, and Je’Von thrashes the hold.

Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley VS Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson!

JOHN CENA IS HERE!
Glasgow erupts with boos just like Brussels did last week, and then “JOHN CENA SUCKS~!” Cena wears the custom Scotland “The Last Time is Now” merchandise, and fans show their Cody Rhodes signs. Cena goes to the ring, grabs a mic, and the fans boo again. Cena hears those boos, and then says, “Is something on your mind? Seems like you have something you want to say to me.” The fans keep booing, and there’s still dueling even now. Cena says yeah, they’re ready to do their worst tonight, aren’t they? It’s because they finally understand what is going on. Cena has turned the spotlight onto the fans, and now they know that he can pick apart any one of these random ticket holders to shreds!
Cena knows they know that no one is safe! Cena put a clueless kid on blast! His poor, pathetic face was everywhere! WWE posted it! And you all loved it. The fans tell Cena off, and Cena just smiles. Cena says who is better: him, the one guy who actually tells the truth; or all the fans, whose collectively best idea is to use profanity! The fans are the ones who loved to watch and rewatch and meme up a poor, defenseless kid getting destroyed! Cena doesn’t need to single out anyone here, because they are ALL horrible people! No, tonight, the fans get to find out how Cena makes them pay for the abuse they have put him through.
For 25 YEARS, Cena has listened to their lies and their noise! But he didn’t waste that time being mean, he paid attention. Fans tell Cena to STFU, and Cena says, “You make this so easy. While you were chanting profanity at the top of your lungs, I’ve been paying attention. I’ve been learning from you, quizzing you, studying you, testing you, prodding you, rewarding you for playing along with your stupid, curse ridden nursery rhymes. And in doing so, you have told me every single thing about your. You know nothing about me, I know more about you than you.” The fans boo, but Cena says the truth is, “Your life is sad!
“Because this is the best it’s gonna get. This is all you have! But to me, you have been nothing more than an experiment. You have been rats in a cage. Oh, you don’t believe me? Pick out any moment in my career, and I’ll tell you what I learned from you. When I bled, you thought I was tough. When I spoke, you were inspired. When I was edgy, you were excited. When I was vanilla, you were bored. When I was loyal, you were loved. When I was selfish, you were disrespected. When I speak in rhythmic tones, you say, ‘What.’ You make this so, so simple. You will always tell me everything about yourselves, because you so desperately want to matter.
“And the most important thing you ever told me was in April 2005. It was the day I gave you my greatest idea. I gave you the WWE Spinner Championship! And just like right now, you ate me alive. All you have to do is google, ‘Negative comments about the spinner belt.’ You all told me loud and clear how stupid I was, because I changed your championship into a toy, and the championship is not a toy. The championship is a symbol of the center of all this, and the toy belt I made for you disrespected tradition and disrespected your legacy. Listen closely, because that was the biggest mistake you ever made.
“In that one single moment, you were vulnerable enough to tell me what means the most to you in this life. And now that I know that… I am going to ruin wrestling. I am going to ruin wrestling for every fan, for every wrestler, for everyone. At WrestleMania, I make history by winning a 17th (world) championship. And I finally force you to forget the name of the fun machine, jet-flying WOO~, Ric Flair. You will forever say the name ‘John Cena.’ But even worse… I’m going to win that championship, the center of every superstar of this entire business, of every fan in this building, I will win that championship and retire with it. I am taking it home with me!
“And leaving all of you to create a brand new toy belt, because the real one comes home with me! I will be the LAST REAL CHAMPION in WWE! Revenge is best served cold, and I pay you back by ripping your heart out and forcing you to watch as I just walk away with your memories, and your traditions, and your dreams, and there is nothing you can do to stop me!” But wait! Here comes Cody Rhodes! Glasgow fires up and sings along, “WHOA~ OH!” Cody gets his pyro, high-fives the fans, and joins Cena in the ring. Cody grabs his own mic, the fans cheer, and Cena just glares the entire time. Cody raises the belt and the fans cheer again.
The fans sing “CODY! CODY RHODES~!” Cody then lifts the mic to say, “I’m sorry, what’d you say? You said you were going to take this away from them? Don’t you think you need to take it away from me first? Admittedly, I made a mistake last week. I looked at you, I talked about Old John, I talked about New John, I didn’t look hard enough. Hearing it, seeing it now, you are clearly sincere, you are clearly angry, and you are clearly willing. Perhaps you’re the most dangerous John Cena has ever been. But you have made a massive mistake. And the mistake was not hitting me upside the head with this at Elimination Chamber.
“Oh, no, no. The mistake was saying what you just said in front of these lovely people while I was in the building!” The fans cheer and sing for “CODY! CODY RHODES~!” Cody asks Cena if all that bothers him. Because it doesn’t bother Cody. What bothers Cody is that he didn’t unpack their history. But Cena should know well enough just how hard Cody fought just to hold this title ONE time, just to validate ONE name! And if Cody understands Cena right, Cena is saying that the timeline of all pro-wrestling hangs in the balance because of Cena’s vanity? Cena wants the title, right? He wants to take it?
Cody sets the belt down on the mat, and says he’ll give Cena that chance right now. The fans fire up as Cody takes off the tie, and dares Cena to take it! The mics drop, Cena prepares to draw as the two square up, but then Cena steps back. The fans boo as Cena leaves, not giving Cody the satisfaction of doing things his way. Cody picks up his mic again and shouts, “JOHN!” Cena turns around, comes back down the ramp, and the fans cheer as Cody dares him to bring it! Cody’s jacket comes off now, the fans fire up more, but Cena shakes his head and leaves again. Cody tells Cena, “one thing, John. I cannot let you do it. I cannot have that on my conscience.
“Right now, I need you to see me, I need you to see all of them, and I need you to understand that your psychotic need to take this does not outweigh OUR right to keep it!” The fans cheer that! Cody says the champ is no longer standing there, the champ is standing in the center of this ring! And Cena walking away empty handed, that is how he walks away from WrestleMania, and that is how he walks away from the WWE! The fans cheer as Cody says the champ is here! But will Cena use whatever means he has to in order to carve his name into eternity?

Main Event Jey put Austin Theory away so fast, you’d blink and miss it. Theory & Waller want revenge, but who’s joining Jey tonight? Why none other than JIMMY Uso!

The Usos are in trouble while Raw goes… Well no, another not ad break?
Theory taunts the fans, the fans boo, but Theory taunts Jey. Theory drags Jimmy onto ropes to CHOKE, but he stops at 4. Waller gets a cheap shot in as Theory argues with the ref!

The Judgment Day is backstage.
Raquel Rodriguez stretches, and she says she’s missing something. Liv Morgan says, “Imagine how you’d feel with one of these on each shoulder by the end of the night.” Liv has Raquel hold up the title belt and Raquel likes that idea. Dominik Mysterio & Carlito walk in, and Dom says Finn hasn’t talked with any of them since last week. Liv says typical Finn. She loves the guy, but he is always more concerned about his own problems. Dom gets that, he just wishes things went different last week. Liv says it’s fine, things are turning around for the better. Liv beat Jade Cargill just last Friday, and Raquel will become the NEW Women’s Intercontinental Champion! #DoubleChamp!
And just because Finn didn’t win last week doesn’t mean they have to give up on the Men’s IC title. Liv wants Dom to talk with Adam Pearce, and Carlito interrupts by saying Liv’s right. Now it’s time for Carlito to go for the gold. Um, yeah… But also, Dom should go talk with Penta again. Dom says Finn is already against that idea, but Liv says Finn was against Liv joining, and look how that turned out? Dom has the brains, he should just trust himself. Liv says she and Raquel are going to go, Dom wishes them luck. Carlito says yeah, they brought him in, too, and look how that turned out. Okay but can he share his apples? Nope.
The Judgment Day is doing what they want, but not really consulting all members on that. Will things really work out for the better? Or are they just one move away from everything falling apart?
Lyra Valkyria prepares for her match.
Bayley is there to give her a fist bump of encouragement before she heads to gorilla. Lyra also passes by Adam Pearce talking with the LWO. Is the Raw General Manager going to help Dragon Lee get a fair fight with Chad Gable? Or could “El Grande Americano” still make an appearance?
The rich and illustrious history of lucha libre…
… is filled with legends like Blue Demon, The Guerrero Family, and Mil Mascaras. But one star shines brighter than all the rest: El Grande Americano! Hailing from the Gulf of America, El Grande Americano was raised to be the ultimate luchador. He quickly rose to the top of the industry, and for decades was the face of Lucha Libre. But after being blackballed by his jealous enemies, he disappeared without a trace. Now, the legend has returned to bring honor and glory back to this beautiful sport! He is an icon! He is a trailblazer! He is… El Grande Americano!”
Adam Pearce talks with The LWO.
Rey Mysterio asks just what the Hell is that video. That is the introduction to the newest member of the Raw roster… That’s ludicrous! It’s all just Chad Gable! Gable steps in and says they’re wrong. He also coughs and wheezes a bit. Gabel says he knows there are physical similarities, but he is not Grande Americano. He also doesn’t have the energy to argue right now, he got sick on the way over. Sadly, he cannot compete tonight. He has a doctor’s note. Pearce reads it, and it is legit. Rey cannot believe this. But whatever, it’s okay. They’ll just see Gable in the parking lot! Pearce has Rey stand down, and Gable says whoa now. Let him finish.
Gable suggests that Lee should take on the new guy, Grande Americano, and see what he’s got. Rey & Lee are still incredulous, but Pearce says his hands are tied. Rey says he gets it. Lucha libre tradition is about not backing down. Lee says whether Americano is Gable or not, Lee will take the match. Then it’s official! Lee glares at Gable, and Rey says Gable’s a jackass. The LWO walks out, Gable says he can’t believe Pearce is going to let them talk to him like that, but Pearce can’t believe Gable needed a doctor’s note. Gable coughs as if on cue, but will the Boy Wonder still get a big win here in Glasgow?
WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship: Lyra Valkyria VS Raquel Rodriguez w/ Liv Morgan!
The Morrigan has been undefeated in title matches ever since winning the tournament, but she is quite literally up against her biggest challenge yet. Will Lyra still fly high this close to home? Or will Big Mami Cool become Double Champ Rodriguez?
The introductions are made, Lyra’s belt is raised, and we see who holds the #ShinyShiny!
The bell rings, the two circle, and they feel things out. Lyra dodges Raquel, then gets around to waistlock. Raquel THROWS Lyra off with ease but the fans boo. Lyra brushes herself off while Raquel tells the fans to shut up. The two tie up, Lyra goes for a leg, but Raquel gut wrenches to SWING Lyra around, and then THROW her away! The fans boo but Liv applauds. Raquel drags Lyra up with both ands, then THROWS her into a corner! Raquel runs up, Lyra dodges and headlocks! Raquel powers up and out, Lyra goes up, but Raquel catches her! Lyra holds on, Raquel yanks her from the corner, but Lyra slips free.
Lyra dropkicks legs out, then she gets under Raquel. Raquel fights the Northern Lights to gut wrench and Gory Especial! Lyra sunset flips, but avoids a stomp! Lyra headlocks again, but Raquel powers up and out again. Lyra ducks ‘n’ dodges, wheelbarrows, and victory rolls Raquel out of the ring! The fans fire up with Lyra and Lyra builds speed, but Raquel stops the dropkick! Raquel drags Lyra out but Lyra RANAS her into the desk! Liv panics, Lyra waistlocks, and Lyra puts Raquel in the ring. Lyra hurries up the steps, Liv coaches Raquel, and Raquel stands. Lyra leaps, into a BOOT! The fans boo but Liv cheers, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Raquel has Lyra on the ropes to CHOKE her! Raquel steps off as the ref counts, and Raquel drags Lyra up. The fans rally for Lyra, but Raquel reels her in to suplex. Raquel SLINGSHOT JACKHAMMERS! Cover, TWO! Lyra survives and Raquel is frustrated, but Liv coaches her to keep going. Raquel pie faces Lyra, drags her to a drop zone, and then goes up the ropes. Raquel soaks up the heat before the VADER- FLOP! Lyra dodges, goes up a corner, and the fans fire up again! TURN OF FORTUNE!! Cover, TWO?!? Raquel survives that flying leg drop and Lyra is shocked! The fans rally as Lyra fireman’s carries!
Raquel kicks and flails, slips free, then shoves Lyra to a corner. BLINDSIDE LARIAT! Raquel goes up, VADER SENTON! Cover, TWO! Lyra survives and Raquel grows frustrated. Liv coaches Raquel and she drags Lyra up again. The fans rally, Raquel bumps Lyra off buckles, and then Raquel puts Lyra up top. Lyra BOOTS the haymaker away, then she fires forearms! Raquel wobbles, Lyra adjusts, and Lyra CROSSBODIES, but into Raquel’s arms! Raquel pops Lyra up to a suplex, but Lyra DDTS! Cover, Liv gives Raquel the ROPEBREAK! The fans boo and Lyra knows something is up! Lyra glares at Liv but Liv just taunts Lyra.
Lyra hurries to bring Raquel up again, fireman’s carry, but Raquel powers out. Raquel shoves, Lyra dodges the boot and WRECKS Liv with a dropkick! But Raquel drags Lyra into a scoop, but Lyra slips around to victory roll! LYRA WINS!!
Winner: Lyra Valkyria, by pinfall (still WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion)
Lyra couldn’t outpower Raquel, but she did outthink her! But now Liv attacks from behind! The fans boo as Liv & Raquel mug Lyra, but here comes Bayley! The Role Model ROCKS Liv, then gives her a HOTSHOT in the ropes! Bayley fires haymakers on Raquel but Raquel knees low! Raquel hoists Bayley up, but now Lyra saves Bayley! And together, they grab legs and DUMP Raquel up and out! The fans fire up as Bayley & Lyra send Judgment Day into retreat! But will Lyra thank Bayley by giving her a title match?
Jimmy & Jey regroup backstage.
Jimmy asks Jey what’s up, and that for the last couple of weeks, Jimmy sees Jey is all up in his own head. Jimmy doesn’t get it. Last week, Jey was hitting that dive for 15 years, and then he becomes a joke! A meme even! What’s with him? Tonight, that killshot was right there, but Jey’s out here slipping. Jey keeps this up, he will not win at WrestleMania. Jey knows that! Jey knows. But everyone reminds him every week. He ain’t beat Gunther, he’s 0-3! But you know what else? He doesn’t know if he can beat Gunther. Jimmy says he can’t?! Jey gets up, Jimmy keeps him from going off somewhere.
Jimmy says Jey can’t beat him. Not this Jey Uso. The Jey that Jimmy knows, the Right Hand Man, that’s the Jey that can! The one that become Main Event Jey, that’s the Uce we need! The one that won the Royal Rumble, THAT’S the Jey we need! Understand him? Jimmy then spots someone off to the side. Jimmy says he’s got Jey on this. Jimmy confronts Gunther! Gunther grins as he walks over, and Jimmy says Gunther VS Jimmy next week! Wow, really? Sure. So long as Jimmy doesn’t trip and fall like his brother. Jimmy SLAPS Gunther for that one! The Usos head out, Gunther leaves it at that. But then Gunther grins. Is Gunther going to make Jimmy an example to Jey?
Adam Pearce is in the ring.
The Raw GM says, “We are officially on the Road to WrestleMania!” The fans cheer that, and Pearce shows the contract for the WWE Women’s World Championship match between Bianca Belair and Iyo Sky. Last week, Rhea Ripley came out here, thought it was appropriate to start a fight, to pick a pen up off the ground, and to scribble her signature onto the contract, as if that makes anything official. Pearce assures us, and he wants this to be crystal clear, Rhea Ripley is NOT in the title match. Glasgow boos, Pearce says they can do that all they want, but the match is Iyo Sky VS Bianca Belair!
Furthermore, the signature Rhea put down means nothing, because Miss Ripley already knows that she has a rematch. A rematch Pearce has tried to get Rhea to settle down on for weeks now, that in the meantime, Bianca won the Elimination Chamber and the right to call herself THE #1 Contender. So that is the issue here. Bianca earned hers, Rhea is owed one, but Rhea seems to want it on her time. Pearce ain’t doing it that way, so therefore- Iyo interrupts! The fans cheer the Evil Genius as she has both belt and mic in hand while heading to the ring. Iyo tells Pearce, “I don’t care about contracts. Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, it doesn’t matter who it is.
“I’ll take on BOTH of them! Because… I am the Women’s World Champion~!” The fans like that, and Pearce says he appreciates her being a fighting champion. But if you’d just let him- Nope, Bianca interrupts! The fans cheer the EST as she has her own mic to say, “Oh, girl, uh-uh, hold up, hold up! No, Pearce, you are right, I earned that #1 Contender’s spot. And I… went through Elimination Chamber to get to WrestleMania. So I am not about to let Rhea headbutt her way into this match! If she did not earn it, then she does not deserve it.” Pearce agrees, so if everyone- NOPE, Rhea interrupts!
The fans fire up as Mami makes her way out, and Pearce is beside himself. Rhea has a mic to say, “Honestly, I don’t give a damn about WrestleMania. And I don’t care who I have to go through to get MY title back. All I want is my rematch.” Oh, now she wants that? Pearce has been talking about it for weeks! Bianca says if Rhea wants her rematch, well, she already waited three weeks, so she can wait three more. Then she can get her rematch after WrestleMania, with Bianca. Yeah, she said what she said. Iyo says hold on, but Rhea pushes her aside. The fans boo, but that’s the last straw for Iyo!
Iyo runs up but Pearce gets in there! Pearce shouts “ENOUGH! ENOUGH!” He’s glad they’re all out here, because he was going to give his solution, if they’d just give him a second! NEXT WEEK, Rhea gets her rematch! Then the winner faces Bianca at WrestleMania! Ladies, thank you, have a very nice Monday. Pearce storms off, Bianca and Rhea still argue, but Iyo says bet! She leaps over Bianca to DDT Rhea! Bianca ROCKS Iyo, torture racks, but Iyo fights free with an arm-drag! Rhea BOOTS Bianca, gets around Iyo, but Iyo lands out of the back suplex! SHOTEI! Bianca chicken wings Iyo! Iyo victory rolls Bianca at Rhea, and Bianca LARIATS rhea!
Iyo dodges Bianca again, HOTSHOTS from the apron, then goes up the corner! She FLYING RANAS Rhea on the ramp! Bianca is up, Iyo takes aim, and the fans cheer Iyo on as she springboards! Bianca dodges, torture racks again, KISS OF DEATH to the outside, onto Rhea! Bianca holds up the belt, but will this be how WrestleMania ends? Who will it even be against after next week’s rematch?
Dominik finds Penta backstage.
Dirty Dom asks if Penta has a second to talk. Penta nods, and Dom says he knows Penta is good, but he could be great. Dom is willing to offer Penta a spot in the Judgment Day, and then maybe things will go Penta’s way. Penta wants to speak but Dom says hold on. Penta could be Intercontinental Champion tonight. Just think about it. Dom heads out, Penta looks like he’s already decided. Will the Man with Cero Miedo really need allies like The Judgment Day?
The New Day barge into Adam Pearce’s office.
He’s already exasperated as Kofi Kingston tells him that The New Day is the greatest tag team on Planet Earth! Xavier Woods says that means they deserve a shot at the WWE World Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania. Oh, are they really asking for a title match at WrestleMania? No, they are DEMANDING one! Wow, really? Do they watch the show? Guess not, or else they wouldn’t be coming in here and demanding a title match just because they’re the New Day, greatest team of all time! Instead, they’d want a chance to prove it, and ask for a match. When they’re ready to do that, come back and see him. For now, get out, and don’t let the door hit you where the Good Lord split you!
New Day tells Pearce to check his blood pressure. They leave, but Bianca barges in. There is way too much going on! Who is she facing at WrestleMania? Pearce says it’ll be clear next week after Iyo VS Rhea. And now, Bianca won’t just be sitting ringside to watch, she’ll be the one in that ring calling it right down the middle! That’s right, Bianca is now the special guest referee!! The EST doesn’t know how to referee! Well, she has a week to figure it out! Now bye, drive save. Bianca storms off, Pearce is losing his cool, but what will this mean for the Road to WrestleMania?
Dragon Lee VS El Grande Americano!
The LWO doesn’t care one way or another if “The Big American” luchador is Chad Gable or someone else entirely, because they just want payback for the interference that’s been happening week after week. Will the Boy Wonder shine brighter than this supposed lucha legend? Or will we all be saying “UH GRACIAS~!” after tonight?
The bell rings and the fans rally. The two tie up, “Grande” waistlocks but Lee switches. Grande switches back, trips Lee, and then rolls to facelock, float, and armlock. The fans sing “OLE~, OLE OLE OLE~!” while Lee fights up. Gable- Er, Grande steps over, arm-drags, and then soaks up the cheers and jeers. Grande runs up to CHOP, then whip. Lee reverses, runs in, but Grande puts him on the apron. Lee jumps up but Grande DECKS him! “GRACIAS~!” Grande then builds speed, but Lee is back to RANA! Grande tumbles out, Lee builds speed, and Lee DIVES! Direct hit and down goes Grande!
The fans fire up, Lee puts Grande in the ring, and then clamps on a GROUND COBRA TWIST! Lee grabs at the mask, the ref reprimands, and Lee stops. Grande throat chops! Grande whips, Lee reverses to kick low and reel Grande in. But Grande RANAS free! Grande FLYING HEADBUTTS, then covers, TWO! The fans again sing, “OLE~, OLE OLE OLE~!” Grande goes to the apron with Lee, then he fires a forearm. Lee V-TRIGGERS, then runs up, but into an EXPLODER to the floor! Both men have a hard landing but the fans fire up while Raw goes to break.
Raw returns as Grande has Lee in an inverted Gory Especial! The fans rally as Lee sits up, and he rains down fists! Lee victory rolls Grande, TWO! Grande stands, ducks ‘n’ dodges, FLYING HEADBUTT into the V-TRIGGER! Grande ends up on the apron, Lee goes out the side. Lee drags Grande up to the top rope, the fans rally, but Grande fires body shots. Lee drops back, but he ROCKS Grande! Grande is in the Tree of Woe! Lee goes up, aims, APRON WOE STOMPS!! Grande flops to the floor but even Lee clutches a knee from that landing. The ring count starts and the fans rally. Both men are down at 5 of 10, but slowly rising.
Lee and Grande hear 8, and they spring in at 9! The fans cheer, and Grande fires a CHOP! Lee fires a CHOP! The CHOPS keep going, harder and harder, then Grande CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS! Grande runs, Lee dodges and CHOPS! And BOOTS! Grande ROCKS Lee! But Lee dodges to snap GERMAN SUPLEX! Grande flounders, Lee fires up, SUPERKICK! Grande falls again but Lee takes aim! Lee runs in, but Grande OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY SUPLEXES him into the corner! Lee is in a heap, Grande covers, TWO!! Lee survives and the fans fire up! The fans again sing “OLE~, OLE OLE OLE~!” as Grande climbs!
Grande aims to MOONSAULT, but he has to roll through as Lee dodges! Lee runs in, swings through the lariat, and he gets Grande up for a LIGER BOMB!! Cover, TWO!! Grande survives but Lee vows to end it! Lee brings Grande up, puts him up top and CLUBS him! The fans declare “This is Awesome!” as Lee climbs. Grande is back in the Tree of Woe, but he sits up to pull at Lee’s mask! Grande UNMASKS Lee!! Lee falls, covers his face, and Grande sits up! The fans boo, but Grande gets after a leg! ANKLE LOCK!! The fans boo, Lee can’t fight while also covering his face, so Lee TAPS! Grande wins!
Winner: El Grande Americano, by submission
A controversial way for a luchador to win a match, but it seems El Grande Americano is willing to do anything! Will we ever get to the bottom of this not so mysterious mystery?
CM Punk is here!
Glasgow fires up and sings along with Cult of Personality as the Second City Saint makes his way out here. Punk says, “IT’S CLOBBERIN’ TIME~!” and continues down to the ring. What will he say in the fallout of Friday Night SmackDown’s brawl in Bologna? We find out, after the break.
Raw returns and Punk has the mic while fans chant “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” Punk says, “Is it great to be alive on a Monday night in Glasgow or what?” The fans cheer that! Punk says that unfortunately while he’s happy to be here, always great to spend quality time with Glasgow, he is not in a good mood. He’s pissed off, but it’s hard to stay mad hearing an ovation like that. Punk says he’s also a little tired, very jetlagged, hasn’t slept well, mostly because of the uncertainty of his Road to WrestleMania. By the way, he apparently has a match now. Did you see the nice graphic? It’s beautiful.
But what Punk wants, he’s not getting. Or is he? Punk says what he wanted was win the Royal Rumble. he didn’t. Then it became what he needed to do, and that was win Elimination Chamber. But because the more things change, the more they stay the same, he work with children. The undisputed heavyweight champion of being a diaper piss baby is Seth Rollins, and he screwed Punk at Elimination Chamber. That doesn’t get Punk to what he wants. For two people, it is clearly personal, but for Punk, it’s just business. It has become simple math: the two men that want to stand in Punk’s way of getting what he wants have go tot go.
Seth Rollins takes it personal because he’s been crying ever since Punk came back to the WWE, because the magnitude of Punk and the shadow he casts belittles everything Rollins is about. Roman Reigns takes it personal, which Punk acknowledges, because Roman sees in real-time that his Wise Man isn’t just his Wise Man. So while it’s personal for the, it is business for Punk, and it’ll be business on Friday in London. It’ll be a good ol’ fashioned contract signing. The fans boo but Punk asks why. Because they wanted it here, right? The fans cheer that! Well, so did Punk, which is why Punk’s here!
Punk can’t wait to get his hands on the contract, read the fine print, and see if the contract gets Punk any bit closer to what he wants… or if it’s just another rug pull from the Powers That Be. So Seth, Roman, fuel up the jet. Since you couldn’t grace them with your presences here in Glasgow, see you in London! But before you put pen to paper, listen to two things and understand them very well. One: neither of you have defeated Punk without the other one’s help, because you can’t! And two: Punk brought them into the WWE, so he cannot wait to be the man to take them both out of it! Punk drops the mic, will he be the one that ends The Shield’s story?
Logan Paul speaks.
Via his Instagram, The Maverick tells AJ Styles, “Congrats, you’ve been added to the list of people whose downfall I’ve been preying on. What you did to me in Madison Square Garden is unforgivable. I’m in London on March 31st, Monday Night Raw, I wanna see you face to face. Bring your A Game, bring your soccer mom haircut, I’ll see your b*tch ass there.” Logan ImPAULsively called out The Phenomenal One, will he be the one to regret it?
Backstage interview with Bron Breakker.
Cathy Kelley is with the badass Intercontinental Champion and notes that he puts that title on the line in the main event, against one of the fastest rising stars in Penta. Earlier tonight, Dom approached Penta to join Judgment Day, is Bron at all concerned that Penta could be bringing backup in an onslaught of new friends? Bron says that’s Penta’s business, it is none of his concern. But as far as tonight, Bron will beat Penta in the center of that ring, then retain this title for one reason: The dogs are barking in Glasgow! Bron barks it up, then heads for gorilla. Will the Big Bad Booty Nephew not worry about the numbers and just go for the win? Or will he learn that #CeroMeido is math he can’t ignore?
WWE Intercontinental Championship: Bron Breakker VS PENTA!
Raw returns as Penta makes his entrance, followed by Bron’s. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is really the biggest badass!
The bell rings and the fans bark as Bron stares Penta down. They slowly circle, tie up, and Penta waistlocks. Bron pries at the grip, wrenches out to wristlock, and the fans duel. Penta wrenches, wristlocks, and headlocks in return, but Bron powers up! Bron shoves Penta away, but then Penta dodges to KICK a leg! And KICK it again! Penta whips, Bron ducks ‘n’ dodges, then builds speed to LARIAT! The fans bark for Bron while Penta flounders to a corner. Bron runs up to RAM into Penta! And RAM again! And again! The ref counts, Penta sputters, and Bron brings Penta up. Bron whips, Penta ducks ‘n’ dodges and RANAS!
Brun tumbles into the ropes then out of the ring! The fans fire up and Penta goes up, up, and- JUMP KNEE from Bron! Penta falls to the floor and Bron grins. The fans bark while Penta sputters to the desk. Bron aims for that FLYING LARIAT! Bron and Penta crash onto and over the desk! The fans bark more while both men are down! The ref checks on both men, but Dom & Carlito come out here? The fans boo, is Dom just assuming Penta’s decision? We’ll have to see, after the break.
Raw returns again and the fans rally as Penta fires body shots. Penta CHOPS, but Bron just frowns. Bron ROCKS Penta, eggs him on, but Penta CHOPS! Bron frowns again, then he ROCKS Penta! Penta comes back with a flurry of forearms! The fans fire up, Penta runs, but Bron ROCKS him again! Bron runs, but Penta SUPERKICKS! Bron wobbles, Penta runs up, but into another KNEE! Bron runs, runs, and- SUPERKICK from Penta! Both men fall and the fans fire up! The fans rally while Bron and Penta slowly rise. Penta has Bron first, reels him in, but Bron shoves Penta away. Penta comes back and KICKS Bron!
Penta then gets around Bron to mule kick a leg! Penta runs to SLING-DOG Bron down! Bron flops out, the fans fire up, and Penta builds speed to DIVE into an UPPERCUT! Bron hurries back in, fireman’s carries Penta, but Penta pops up to BACKSTABBER! Cover, TWO! Carlito says that alone proves Penta is Judgment Day material, but Penta calls his next shot. Bron rises, Penta runs in, DEST- NO, Bron stops that to make it a fireman’s carry, then a military press! GUT BUSTER DROP! Cover, TWO!! Penta survives, Bron is a bit surprised, but the fans still bark. Bron vows to end this and he goes to a corner.
Bron aims, Penta rises, and Bron runs in, into another SUPERKICK! Penta then GAMANGIRIS in the corner! Penta puts Bron up top, climbs up after him, but Bron shoves him down. Bron fires hands, then he hoists Penta up! Bron fireman’s carries Penta, but Penta fights free! Penta hops down to the apron so he can jump up and RANA Bron off the corner! Bron tumbles out, Penta builds speed, and Penta FLIES! Dom & Carlito love the tope conjilo, and Glasgow says, “This is Awesome!” Penta drags Bron up and into the ring, then takes aim again. MEXICAN DESTROYER!! Cover, TWO!! Born survives and Carlito is shocked!
The fans rally as hard as they can, and Dom coaches Penta up. Penta tells Dom to watch himself, then he drags Bron up. Penta pump handles Bron, but Bron fights free! Penta goes to a corner, BOOTS in return, and then goes up. Bron anchors Penta, Penta CLUBS away on Bron, then ROCKS him! Bron staggers away, but he springs right up top to SUPER STEINER! Cover, TWO! Penta survives the “Breakkensteiner” and Bron is frustrated. The fans rally up as Bron brings down the straps! The fans bark as Bron takes aim from the corner. But Dom gets on the apron! Carlito grabs Bron, but Bron TOSSES Carlito!
Bron runs and he SPEARS Carlito! The fans fire up, the ref reprimands Judgment Day, but Dom CHOP BLOCKS from behind! The ref catches it, the match is over!
Winner: Bron Breakker, by disqualification (still WWE Intercontinental Champion)
The fans boo but Dom rains down fists on Bron! If Dom is trying to get Penta to join up, he sure messed up that! The fans tell Dom off, but Bron ROCKS Dom with haymakers! FINN BALOR SMACKS BRON WITH A CHAIR! The Prince is here after all, and he SMACKS Bron again! Penta doesn’t even realize what happened, and then Finn glares at Dom?! Finn decides to give Dom the chair, and Dom JAMS it into Bron again and again! Penta understands now that Judgment Day screwed this up for him, but Dom offers him the chair? The fans say “NO! NO! NO!” but Penta still takes the chair. Dom says take Bron out, Cero Miedo!
Penta aims, but while Dom is encouraging Penta to do it, Finn is upset with Dom about it! Penta throws the chair at Dom to SUPERKICK into his face! Finn is even more upset because he knew this would happen. Finn CLOBBERS Penta, stomps away on him, and the fans boo more. Finn grabs the chair again, and he SMACKS Bron back down! Bron tumbles out, and Finn tells Dom he’s too stupid to be making decisions. Finn goes up, and he gives Penta a COUP DE GRACE! Judgment Day has no new members and no new gold, but will Finn get Dom to understand that they can still run Monday Night Raw?
My Thoughts:
Another great Raw, especially with this Glasgow crowd. Cena continues to be the perfect “Justified Heel” with another great promo, and it is amazing that he uses the Spinner Championship as the cornerstone of all of this. I almost thought he was going to say he would remake the spinner belt using the current title’s design. But at the same time, it’s good enough that he vows to retire that belt with his retirement so that whatever comes next will only ever be second place. Or third, given how there’s the WWE World Heavyweight Championship again. And Cody had a good retort again, but Cena is the one bringing the better promos.
While there was speculation that Glasgow would get to believe in Joe Hendry tonight, I knew it just makes sense in story that Jimmy would be the mystery partner for Jey. Very good match from Usos VS ATDU, very good win for the Usos, and a great promo where Jimmy lights that fire in Jey before slapping Gunther. Gunther VS Jimmy is going to be really good, and this fits a bit more of what I was hoping we’d get in the build. Gunther and Jimmy can tear it up while Gunther still wins out, a real example set for Gunther VS Jey at Mania, but also incredible motivation for Jey given he’ll be watching his brother get beat up.
Very good promo from Punk, a touch better than Rollins’ last week, but both boil down to hyping up what’s happening on SmackDown this week. Great stuff with this Chad Gable/El Grande Americano stuff. That video package was like 90% AI generated images, 10% Photoshop, but I guess that adds to how Grande Americano’s legacy is fake and it’s just Gable. Lee VS Grande Gable was great stuff, and what a wild way for Grande Gable to win with Lee’s mask coming off. Rey will surely want his own match with Grande Gable, and I feel like this has to come down to a Mask VS Mask match so that when Grande loses, he is exposed as Gable all along.
Great promo stuff for the Women’s World Championship, as Pearce puts his foot down and has them do things his way. No Triple Threat, at least not yet, as we instead get Rhea VS Iyo one more time, but Bianca being the Special GuEST Referee is of course going to create shenanigans that then compel a Triple Threat. New Day complaining and demanding a title match is good stuff, too, and I would think Pearce is going to put New Day into a big contenders match. Honestly, all tag teams on Raw should be put in that: New Day, A-Town Down Under, Alpha Academy, Creed Brothers, LWO’s Wilde & Del Toro, winners face War Raiders.
And the Judgment Day were once again a great throughline for Raw. Good promo from the group to set up things for tonight while also keeping the dysfunction in mind. Lyra VS Raquel was a great title match, great win for Lyra, and good stuff with Bayley making the save. I feel like we might get a tag match of Lyra & Bayley VS Liv & Raquel before we get Lyra VS Bayley for the title. I still feel like they could escalate and make it more than just 1v1 for WrestleMania, as Liv can even get herself in on the Intercontinental Championship, but we should also really get others like Shayna Baszler, Zoey Stark and even Natalya going again or else they’re signed for no reason.
And of course, awesome stuff with the Men’s Intercontinental Championship. It plays up the Judgment Day drama of Finn and Dom each trying to be the mastermind, but everyone wanting titles. Bron is still great in the ring but his character isn’t getting much other than “bark bark.” Even if he went back to talking a lot like Uncle Scott Steiner, that would be a bit more fun. But right now, he’s just this obstacle that the others are trying to get past while also dealing with their own stuff. Judgment Day standing tall because of Finn’s surprise appearance certainly cues up at least a Triple Threat of Bron VS Penta VS Finn, but maybe Dom gets himself in that match to “improve Judgment Day’s odds,” which just pisses Finn off and creates the real fallout in the group.
My Score: 8.9/10
