Seth Rollins is here!
The fans fire up as The Visionary makes his way out to the ring, but that knee brace stands out against that volt green suit he’s wearing. The World Heavyweight Champion still high-fives fans and smiles for them as he goes down the ramp. Fans still sing “OH~ OHH~ OHHH~!” as Rollins gets the mic. The fans cheer for Rollins, and even shift to “Thank You, Seth!” as they anticipate what he’s here to say. Rollins takes a moment, and he tells, “New Orleans! Welcome to Monday Night Rollins. And it has been a long week, so, I really appreciate that. Thank you, guys.”
Rollins continues by saying seven days ago, he was in this ring, defending the WHC against Jinder Mahal. Fans boo but Rollins says it’s okay, he beat him. But he jumps off ropes, moonsaults like he usually does, and he just felt his knee kinda go in in a way that it is not supposed to. He did what he does, he finished the match, beat Jinder. He went to the back, sat down, and that was the first time it set in that he might be out for a long time. Earlier that night, he’d spoken backstage about how every single title defense, he only gets better and stronger, so he couldn’t help but feel, sitting there all helpless, that he was a liar.
Fans say no, but Rollins is a bit emotional as he says this was the first time where it was a real possibility that he’d miss WrestleMania. Fans again chant “NO! NO! NO!” Rollins appreciates all that, but they still had to get the MRI, get a look at it, and middle of the week the results came in. They weren’t great. A grade two tear of the MCL, a partial tear of the meniscus, and the docs are saying that even with surgery, we’re talking three to four months. Now if it were up to him, he’d be back next week, stomping heads into the mat because it’s what he loves to do.
But unfortunately, it isn’t just up to him. He can’t just say no, as much as he’d like to. “We don’t really know what the future holds.” So he’s taking it day by day, week by week- And then Imperium interrupts… Der Ring General, Gunther, leads the way as he, Ludwig Kaiser & Giovanni Vinci make their way out to the ring now. Fans boo as the Intercontinental Champion steps into the ring to stand across from the World Heavyweight Champion. Rollins says he has no time for this. If they’re gonna make an example out of him, then just do it. Don’t waste time, just bring it. Gunther says not to worry about Ludwig & Vinci, they have a match later tonight.
What Rollins should worry about is Gunther. Fans boo again but Gunther says he thought and Rollins were avoiding each other, and that today would be a great opportunity to just honestly let Rollins know what he thinks of him. Rollins chuckles and says okay, if that’s the case, should they let him say what he thinks? Fans are torn but Rollins says have at it. Gunther says no reason to be on edge. Just from the beginning, Rollins was in a tough spot. He was labeled the workhorse champion right from the start. He had to be the guy that came out here, every week, and fight honestly for every victory, becoming a champion that brings dignity, respect and honor to a title.
Gunther says Rollins became a champion that everybody can be proud of. Just like Gunther. But now, it pulls on Gunther’s heartstrings to see Rollins like this. And now we find Rollins might not make it to Mania, that honestly makes Gunther sad. Well, see, Gunther, he and his boys should’ve let Rollins finish. What he was about to say is that he doesn’t give a damn what the doctors tell him. He doesn’t give a damn how hard he has to rehab, how hard he has to push his knee, he WILL keep his promise and take this title into WrestleMania! The fans fire up for that! And Rollins will do every single thing in his power to walk out of Mania the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
Fans fire up hearing that, and Gunther says that’s great! Happy to hear it! Because Gunther thought we were gonna see a great champion fall. But now Rollins is proclaiming to do everything it takes to be a champion at Mania. Gunther admires that. Because Gunther would do the same thing if he was in Rollins’ position. And in fact, Rollins reminds Gunther of himself. So from one great champion to another, on Saturday, Gunther will win the Royal Rumble. And then he will choose Rollins as his opponent for WrestleMania! But with all due respect, Gunther will target that knee, that back, and everything that is not 100%, and he will beat Rollins to become WHC!
Fans boo as Gunther smirks at Rollins, and even chant “You Suck! You Suck!” But Rollins says, “I appreciate your honesty, Gunther. Now here’s a little honesty from me. You can challenge me at WrestleMania if you win the Royal Rumble but I want you to remember one thing. Remember who you’re coming after.” Rollins drops the mic and offers a handshake. Gunther says, “You better remember who’s coming after you.” Gunther drops his mic and shakes Rollins’ hand. The challenge is made, but will either man be in that ring in Philadelphia?
Wait, Xavier Woods jumps out from the crowd to CLOBBER Ludwig & Vinci!! Kofi jumps in, too! The New Day gets the jump on Imperium, and Rollins gets out of the ring as quickly as he can so the brawl can get in the ropes! Woods TOSSES Vinci back out, Kofi clotheslines Kaiser up and out!

The refs hurry over to check on all four men. Assuming these four can stand back up, will they only go after each other with even more ferocity?
The Judgment Day talks backstage.
They just finished watching the hype package for Damian Priest VS Drew McIntyre, and Finn is fired up. Rhea can’t believe they’re going to war with Drew. Because it just feels to her that Priest wants to fight everyone. She just talked with Adam Pearce and he informed her that Priest & Finn defend the tag titles against DIY. So she really thinks McIntyre should be the least of their worries. Priest says he isn’t trying to go around fighting everyone! But McIntyre WILL be handled by Priest! And he’s not the one walking around here with a big head just cuz he’s on the cover of 2K24. And he’s also not the one going into Pearce’s office to make matches for the team every other week!
Here’s an idea, Rhea: stop going to Pearce’s office! Priest is gonna go clear his head for his match tonight, but he wants Rhea to understand Judgment Day business is under control. Priest storms out, Rhea complains to the others about what Priest just said. She then tells JD & Dom that DIY should’ve been handled a long time ago! Finn agrees, a long time ago. Rhea is disappointed in them. See? You disappointed Rhea! JD apologizes. And then Rhea turns his attention to Finn. What’s so funny? Why’s he smiling and snickering all the time? Finn says it’s kinda funny. Rhea says nothing’s funny. Priest will handle McIntyre alone.
Which means Finn is ringside for Dom’s match. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen that vicious side of Finn Balor. Oh, she wants vicious? He’ll show us vicious. Finn leads the boys out, will the Prince help Dirty Dom handle biz against The Miz?
Backstage interview with Ivy Nile & Maxxine Dupri.
Jackie Redmond is with them at gorilla position and says we’ve seen the workout videos, Ivy has been training so hard for this Saturday and the Royal Rumble. But she has “Valhalla” Sarah Logan tonight, what would this win do for her? Maxxine says here’s the thing: Lil’ Miss Val ain’t ready for Ivy Nile! She ain’t the Pitbull for nothing! The Creeds then walk in and hype up “big guy” Ivy. She has them calm down and says she’s got this. “Let’s get this barefooted freak.” Ivy heads out, Maxxine following, and Julius scolds Brutus for being too hyper. But will the Diamond Mine’s top dog show Sarah Logan who runs the yard?
Ivy Nile w/ Maxxine Dupri VS Sarah Logan!
Raw returns and “Valhalla is here” as Sarah makes her entrance. The bell rings and Sarah rushes in, but Ivy fireman’s carries! Sarah slips free, claws at Ivy’s face, but Ivy snapmares free and KCIKS her! Ivy whips, Sarah reverses and KNEES Ivy against ropes! Wait, is that Nikki Cross on the ramp? Sarah CLUBS away on Ivy, the ref counts and Ivy flops out of th ering. Sarah goes out to CLOBBER Ivy! Fans boo but Sarah hauls Ivy up to put her in the ring. Sarah then stalks Ivy, sits her up and smothers her into some fishhooks to the mouth. The ref counts, Sarah taunts Ivy as she brings her up, but Ivy fires forearms!
Sarah RAMS into Ivy but Iviy throws mroes hots! Sarah ducks the roundhouse but not the ENZIGIRI! Sarah goes to ropes, bites the ropes, and runs back in.

Sarah hits buckles, Ivy runs in but Sarah puts her on the apron. Sarah climbs up, brings Ivy to the top, and Sarah bends Ivy! But Ivy SMACKS Sarah off the post!
Ivy climbs up, uses the post for balance, and the fans fire up for Ivy’s SUPER BULLDOG! Cover, Ivy wins!
Winner: Ivy Nile, by pinfall
The #Pitbulldog gets Ivy a huge win! Will Ivy fight harder than all of the 29 other women in the Rumble to get the biggest win of her career?
The New Day regroups backstage.
They made it through the medical exam, but Jey Uso walks over to say his bois the NEW~ DAY~ have new ways to get down ‘n’ gritty here in New Orleans. He is hyped up, and then Jackie walks over for an interview. This situation with Imperium is getting more and more intense, where does this end? Woods says first thing’s first, The New Day is sick and tired of people walking into the WWE and thinking at first glance, New Day doesn’t do this. They are not 12 TIME Tag Team Champions for no reason! They are the best tag team today and have been for a decade!
Kofi says people have it confused that because of the unicorns and the pancakes and the cereal, that they can’t get down when the time is right! What you saw out there with them taking out Imperium was an example of what happens when you push them too far and cross the New Day. Jey ain’t the only one planning on winning belts this year. New Day took out the henchmen, it’s time for the big boss! Wait, Damage CTRL walks in in the background, what’re they doing on Raw? But as Kofi says, he is challenging Gunther for that Intercontinental Championship next week, here on Raw! Jey adds, “Yeet!”
Win or lose in the Rumble this Saturday, Kofi is looking to get some gold of his own. He’s held the Intercontinental Championship before, will he take down the longest reigning Intercontinental Champion ever to hold it again?
Nia Jax is here!
The Irresistible Force has come to New Orleans and the fans boo her as she goes to the ring. Nia gets the mic to say, “The first time I came face-to-face with Rhea Ripley, one of the most dominant champions in our history, she got squashed. The first time I went 1-on-1 with Becky, excuse me, ‘The Man,’ Becky Lynch, one of the greatest superstars in the history of this business, she got squashed. Now I know you think I’m coming out here to complain that they were in this very ring last week saying, ‘I wanna face you at WrestleMania, Becky!’ ‘I wanna face you at WrestleMania, Rhea!’ I completely understand!
“Rhea wants to face Becky, who she thinks she can beat. She doesn’t wanna face me, who she knows she can’t beat! And Becky… Becky’s on her path to WrestleMania. And she knows that any path with me in it has her getting squashed again. So this Saturday at the Royal Rumble, I’m gonna kill both of their dreams. I’m gonna go to WrestleMania as-” WAIT! Here comes Becky! The fans fire up as we’ve just entered the Big Time, and Becky says, “Shut up, Nia, ya dope. Congratulations, you beat me. At least that gives you something new to talk about for the next five years.”
Becky gets in the ring with Nia and says what is interesting is, going into the Rumble, she knows she has a big target on her back. But nobody has a bigger target on her back than Nia. And not because she is literally bigger, but because that locker room, they don’t agree on anything. They don’t agree at all, except on one thing: Nobody likes Nia. Fans cheer that! Becky says yeah, Nia pushes them down, throws her weight around, probably injured half of them, and so, on Saturday, Becky isn’t sure what she’ll enjoy more: Winning the Rumble a second time in her career; or watching Nia lose the Rumble.
But wait! Here comes Bayley! “Ding dong, hello, guys! Actually, both of you idiots are gonna lose, ha ha!” Bayley says she wanted to talk to Rhea, but this is almost better. Her two old pals. She tells fans to shut up! Then she says this is quite the reunion here. Nia, long time, no see. But Bayley is here to make one thing absolutely clear: SHE is winning the Rumble! SHE is gonna point to the WrestleMania sign! Because 2024 is the Year of- SHE SHOVES BECKY INTO NIA! Bayley punches away on Becky but Nia puts Bayley in a corner for stomps! Becky runs up to fire off on Nia! Bayley returns, but gets a MANHANDLE SLAM!
Nia storms up to TOSS Becky up and out, a la the Rumble! Then Nia runs to drop the leg, brother! Bayley got squashed now, and Nia grins. The refs rush out here to stop this from getting any worse! But will Nia be able to squash and toss 29 other women to be #1 contender? Or will even she fail to defeat the odds?
The Miz VS Dominik Mysterio w/ Finn Balor & JD McDonagh!
The Awesome Truth tried but failed to bring down The Prince & The Punisher, but the Hollywood A-Lister is looking to avenge R-Truth. Will Miz make this a must-see chapter in his story with Judgment Day? Or will Dirty Dom win this one with help from the boys?
Raw returns and The Miz makes his entrance. The bell rings and Miz circles with Dom. They tie up, Miz powers Dom back but Dom puts Miz in a corner. The fans chant, “We Want Truth! We Want Truth!” but Dom lets off on Miz with a shove. JD says no, they don’t get Truth! Miz storms up on Dom, ties up with him again, and puts Dom back in a corner. Dom fights but Miz keeps him cornered, but then lets off at 4. Miz fakes chop and he gets Dom to flinch! Dom runs up but Miz arm-drags! And arm-drags! Dom avoids the third but Miz avoids a kick to roll Dom up! TWO, and Miz CHOPS! Miz whips, Dom KICKS! But then Miz LARIATS Dom!
Fans fire up with Miz as he taunts Finn & JD. Miz kicks Dom, throws haymakers, and he has Dom in a corner again. The ref counts, Miz lets off at 4, but Dom kicks a leg! Dom throws hands, then TOSSES Miz out! Dom distracts the ref and Finn DECKS Miz! Fans boo but Finn does as Rhea wants. Dom builds speed and DIVES, sending Miz into the desk! Fans boo as Dom flexes, and Finn & JD both flex with him. Dom puts Miz in, gives some Latino Heat, and then slingshot SENTONS! Cover, TWO! Dom stays on Miz with a rain of fists, then soaks up the heat. Fans boo more, but Dom stalks Miz. Dom sits Miz up but fans chant “YOU SUCK!”
Dom ROCKS Miz with a right, but the fans rally behind Miz. Dom throws more fists, Miz stands up, and he CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! Miz whips, then kitchen sink knees! Dom goes to a corner and gets the A-LIST LARIAT! Miz pushes Dom away, kicks at JD, but Dom kicks the ropes! Miz gets jammed up and Dom dumps him out! Dom soaks up more heat as Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and both men are down after a collision during commercial! The fans rally as Dom and Miz stir, and Miz stands up first. Miz counter punches Dom as the fans rally behind him! Dom kicks low, runs, but into a LARIAT! Miz rallies, gets Dom for a dragon sleeper, BACKBREAKER to NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Dom survives the A-List Combination and that helps JD & Finn breathe. But Miz says, “MASSIVE! BALLS!” Finn distracts him, though! Dom rolls Miz up, TWO! Miz has the roll-up, TWO! Miz ducks ‘n dodges to WRECK Finn with a dropkick! Then Miz RANAS JD to join him!

Fans boo as Judgment Day steals this, and then Finn fires off fists! Finn is showing he’s vicious, but here comes DIY! Fans fire up for Gargano & Ciampa rush out there! Ciampa dodges Dom, Gargano SUPERKICKS him! Ciampa RAMS into JD & Finn, then Gargano SLINGSHOT SPEARS JD! Ciampa sends Finn running, so Gargano brings JD up! The Irish Ace is fed to Miz for the SKULL-CRUSHING FINALE! And then Miz sets JD up so DIY can- NO, Finn saves JD and the Judgment Day retreats! Fans boo, but we’re just one week away from DIY VS Prince & Punisher! Will Ciampa & Gargano soon be undisputed?
Backstage interview with Damian Priest.
Speaking of those tag titles, Jackie is with the other half of the Tag Team Champions. This match with McIntyre has been months in the making, so what is his mindset going into tonight’s main event? Priest first congratulates Dom on the win over Miz, just like Priest knew he would. As for McIntyre- Truth barges in. He has Priest’s cut for this week’s sales on the “Tom & Nick Mysterio” shirts. Now, we gotta do something about JD McDonagh, he added Truth on Venmo. Priest has Truth slow down. What Priest has going on is pretty serious. He appreciates Truth’s sense of humor, but not the right time. Oh, right, Truth understands.
Truth hurries out and says he’ll see DP later. Priest gets back to McIntyre. McIntyre likes to talk and “be real,” so here’s some real talk on McIntyre. “The guy talks about when he was the man around here, right? That was at a time when everyone was struggling. Then everyone was back to 100, and what happened? He couldn’t beat Roman, he couldn’t beat Gunther, and now he can’t beat Seth Rollins. And out of pure jealousy, he wants to make sure I don’t become champion.” One way or another, from cashing in or winning the Rumble to on to Mania, Priest will be World Heavyweight Champion.
As far as McIntyre goes, he WILL receive his punishment. Priest heads out, determined as ever, but will Senor Money in the Bank make an example out of the Scottish Terminator? Or will it be the other way around?
Bronson Reed speaks.
“I am fully aware that Jey Uso intends to become a singles champion here in the WWE. But Jey, like I’ve told you, so do I. And that means that eventually, our paths are going to cross. And the sooner, the better. Because nothing will stand in my way. So Jey Uso, face me next week on Raw so you can be made an example of by BIG Bronson Reed!” The Colossal Aussie has thrown down the challenge, will Main Event Jey be ready for a Tsunami?
Chad Gable VS Ivar!
Akira Tozawa pulled off the huge upset when he pinned the War Beard, but then Ivar was a sore loser and smashed Tozawa in return. Will Master Gable make sure Ivar loses a second match in a row? Or will nothing stop the Viking Raider on his way to the Rumble?
Raw returns and Ivar makes his entrance. The bell rings and Gable ROLLING KICKS Ivar! Ivar staggers, Gable shoves him and goes up, to FLYING CLOTHESLINE! Ivar stays up so Gable CHOPS and CHOPS! Gable whips, Ivar reverses but Gable goes up and over. Gable then ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Ivar scoops him for a SPINNING POWERSLAM! Ivar snarls and he CLUBS away on Gable! Ivar then BOOTS Gable, then hauls him up. Ivar back suplexes, Gable lands on his feet and DORPKICKS! Ivar rebounds but Gable avoids the elbow drop!

And then he has the ANKLE LOCK!! Ivar flails, reaches out, claws his way forward, and has the ROPEBREAK!
Gable lets go in frustration, and storms up, but into a SKY HIGH! Cover, TWO! Ivar huffs and puffs and hobbles his way to the corner. Ivar climbs up again, the bad leg slowing him down. Fans freak out as Ivar DOOMSAULTS but FLOPS as Gable moves! Gable hurries to waistlock, and GERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO?!?! Ivar is still in this and fans can’t believe it! But Gable hurries up the corner now, only for Ivar to CHOP him! Ivar ROCKS Gable, he climbs up after him, and he brings Gable up to SUPER- NO, Gable slips around, SUPER GERMAN SUPLEX!!

Winner: Ivar, by pinfall
“Valhalla” helped the chosen warrior, and Ivar is now 2-1 with The Alpha Academy. Will the raid continue on and find its way to WrestleMania?
Cody Rhodes is here!
New Orleans fires up for the American Nightmare as he makes his way to the ring, and sings along with his song, “WHOA~ OH~!” The pyro goes off, Cody continues down the ramp to high-five fans and autograph signs. Cody then gets the mic and hears the fans chanting for him. But then here comes CM Punk! Fans fire up again as the Second City Saint, the Best in the World, makes his entrance, and now the fans sing along with Cult of Personality. Punk says “IT’S CLOBBERING TIME~!” and he high-fives fans on his way to the ring. Punk takes a moment to revel in the cheers before stepping in to be face to face with Cody.
Cody and Punk shake hands, and then Punk gets himself a mic. Punk says that they should just take a moment to enjoy this. They’ve been on very different paths to get to here. Saturday night changes everything, hopefully they’ll still be friends on Sunday morning, but let’s just enjoy this moment. The fans chant for Cody, for Punk, maybe both at the same time, it’s hard to tell. Cody then says, “So, NOLA…! More specifically, CM Punk… What do you want to talk about?” Punk thinks while the fans chant for him again, and he says he wants to talk about Cody’s dad.
Punk doesn’t know if Cody knows this story, but in 2007, Dusty calls Punk on the phone and says he is sending his youngest son to Ohio Valley Wrestler to start his journey as a wrestler. And Dusty told Punk to keep an eye on his boy. Punk wasn’t sure he was the right guy for the job, he surely didn’t know Cody then. But when the American Dream asks you for a favor, you say yes. Fans cheer that, and Punk says it wasn’t a hard job. Punk stayed out of Cody’s way, Cody didn’t get himself into any trouble that he couldn’t talk his way out of, and Cody didn’t fall for the same vices so many others did.
Punk watched Cody grow from a preliminary wrestler into the bonafide, main event caliber superstar that stands before us today. And it might sound a little condescending coming from Punk, but Punk is proud of Cody. Punk brings that story up and Dusty up, because on Saturday, Punk feels like he’s breaking a promise. When the Rumble is happening, when the bell rings, should they cross paths, Punk is not gonna be looking out for Cody, Punk is gonna be looking for him. Punk will do what he has to, from punching him in the face to throwing him over the top rope, because Punk vows to WIN the Rumble and main event WrestleMania.
Fans are torn there, but Cody says Punk isn’t alone in that feeling of talking to Cody but thinking about Dusty. Cody has met countless legends, luminaries and dignitaries in this industry, from Michael Hayes to Bruce Prichard to Triple H to even Mr. Heyman. When they see Cody, they can’t help but see The American Dream. It’s a very large shadow. But Cody knows Punk knows that Cody has done everything in his power to not be in the shadow but to be the light in that shadow, to subvert the expectations on his own last name and be his own man.
Talk about OVW, Punk isn’t lying. Cody showed up there, folk style wrestling only, no matches under his belt, a complete nepotism hire, and there Punk was. Punk had toiled on the indies for 10 YEARS. He could’ve treated Cody poorly, but he did not. Punk treated Cody as a peer, and from then on, they have been friends. That is what makes this all bittersweet. Because in the Rumble, there are no friends. Punk says what about on Sunday? Yeah, there’s no friends in the Rumble. Punk’s been in more than Cody has. But what about Sunday morning? Punk can separate business from personal. Can Cody?
Punk wasn’t born into this but Cody was. Cody grew up in this business, personal to him IS the business. Cody is the son of one of the most legendary pro-wrestlers of all time! And Punk said to start this, they have traveled very different paths. Punk had no famous dads. When Cody showed up to OVW, other people saw Dusty, but not Punk. Punk saw Cody. It wasn’t nepotism to Punk, because where everyone saw Cody being on third base and being afforded all these opportunities that Punk didn’t get because he had to scratch and claw to where he was, he saw the burden of Cody’s last name.
Punk saw how hard it’d be for Cody to get out of that shadow, and congratulations, because Cody has done that with flying colors. The fans cheer that, and Punk says for all the differences, such as Cody in his very nice and expensive suit and Punk in his workout clothes, they’ve had very different paths but have one very similar goal. Punk didn’t have the famous dad, Dusty Rhodes, American Dream, “Son of a Plumber” and global, international heavyweight champion superstar wrestler recognized on the streets, dined with kings and queens. How does the rest of it go? Cody says “Slept in alleys, dined on pork and beans.”
Yeah, Punk didn’t have the famous dad with all that. His dad was just a regular guy, an electrician. So it’s kinda ironic, huh? Punk is more The American Dream than Cody is. Cody says okay, then, “American Dream,” here is what Cody wants to talk about. Let’s talk about “The Pipebomb.” Punk throws the WWE logo off his mic and says go ahead. Cody reminds us that Punk sat on stage, said words, rattled off the formula for a revolution, and inspired countless numbers. There are wrestlers who got in this ring because of that speech. Count Cody as one of them. But then, Punk left. And when Punk left, he really left.
Punk didn’t pass the torch, he just dropped it on the way out. He didn’t care who picked it up, but Cody’s pretty sure Punk knows who did. Cody did. “Everything that you spoke about, I literally did! So where you talked, I walked. And what is actually ironic, that makes me more CM Punk than you!” Fans are fired up hearing all this! Punk takes off the hoody and puts that aside, saying it’s getting hot in here. Cody is more Punk than Punk? Well allow Punk to give Cody the full Road to WrestleMania CM Punk experience. Cody has carried this company on his back for a soul-crushing two years, and he’s right around the corner and he’s handed to cover of 2K24.
Congrats, by the way! On sale pretty soon, huh? And right as Cody’s about to cross the finish line and #FinishTheStory, what’s that in the distance? A much bigger superstar who hasn’t been here in a very long time, coming to take it all away from you! And Punk is talking about himself. Oh, there you go, Punk looking out for Cody. Punk might be right. He talked about the American Dream, so he should know Dusty was Cody’s best friend. Dusty frequently quoted John Wayne, and the one Cody heard the most is, “Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyways.” Punk may be right but Cody has only one direction he can go, and that is forward!
That direction in the Royal Rumble goes through Punk. Cody drops the mic, and then so does Punk. Cody goes to leave but Punk turns him right around! The fans fire up as these two are forehead to forehead, then the two back off. The fans are torn between these two, and both men exit the ring on opposite ends. This could very well be a collision that is destined to happen, will we see it in the Royal Rumble?
Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell VS Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark!
While the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships are being defended this Friday, The Poison Pixie & #IndiWrestling are finding their way into the title picture. But the same can be said of The Queen of Spades & The Hunter! Will Candice & Indi or Shayna & Stark take one more step closer to the gold as we head down the Road to WrestleMania?
Kayden Carter & Katana Chance are ringside to watch this, even though The Kabuki Warriors are coming for them on SmackDown. The teams sort out and Shayna starts against Candice. These two tie up, are in a deadlock, but Shayna trips Candice and then scuffs her. Candice gets up in a huff and she resets with Shayna. They tie up again, Shayna powers Candice back to a corner, but the ref counts. Shayna scuffs Candice again, then trips her to sit her down! Shayna taunts Candice, then runs up, but Candice dodges! Candice feints to trip Shayna now! Candice eggs Shayna on, and Shayna runs up, into an arm-drag!
Candice arm-drags again, and again, then taunts Shayna more. Stark tags in but Shayna says she had this. Stark says no, she’ll get this. But Indi tags in, kicks and JABS and DECKS Stark! Indi puts Stark in ropes, UPPERCUTS her, then runs side to side. Tag to Candice before Indi BOOTS Stark down! Shayna runs up, Indi TOSSES her, and Candice goes up! Indi helps her tightrope walk, to then FLYING RANA Stark onto Shayna! The fans fire up as Candice & Indi stand tall, and Indi copies Kayden’s dance moves as Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Stark CLUBS away on Indi. Stark scuffs Indi around, then runs, to springboard, into a SPINEBUSTER! Fans fire up while both women are down, and Stark crawls. Chelsea green & Piper Niven are watching as hot tags are made to Shayna and Candice! Candice fires off on Shayna, LARIATS then DROPKICKS! Stark runs up but into a kick and ENZIGIRI! Candice UPPERCUTS Shayna in a corner, snapmares her, then runs up, CODE BREAKER SENTON COMBO! Cover on Shayna but Stark breaks it! Indi whips Stark but Stark reverse. Indi is on the apron, Stark SUPERKICKS her down!
Candice TOSSES Stark out, but Shayna grabs Candice for the KIRAFUDA KLUTCH! Candice RAMS Shayna into a corner, but Stark tags in! Shayna carries Candice in the sleeper, but Candice pushes back to roll back! But it won’t count as a cover, Stark is legal! And speaking of, Stark deadlifts Candice up to Z 360!! Cover, Stark & Shayna win!
Winners: Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark, by pinfall
The champs like the teamwork they just saw, and they step into the ring to say they’ll be ready to take them on. But wait! The Kabuki Warriors attack! Shayna & Stark back off to let Asuka & Kairi beat down the champs! The showdown happens on SmackDown, will the party be over for Kayden & Katana?
Backstage interview with Drew McIntyre.
Jackie is with the Scottish Terminator and says before talking about tonight’s main event, which has been fueled by months of animosity, does McIntyre have anything to say about what we saw from Cody and Punk? No. Everything he had to say, he already said to each of their faces. They’re the ones following in his footsteps. He won the Royal Rumble and then actually won at WrestleMania, so he has nothing for them. But he did hear what Priest had to say. Yeah, things weren’t 100% when McIntyre was champion, they weren’t 100% right in the world. But he is sick and tired of people trying to put a negative spin on that time! They needed a hero, he stepped up!
Here’s some names: Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton, AJ Styles. That aside, that was the most proud McIntyre was of his entire career. People have literally come up and told him he saved their lives! But tonight, Priest is not ready to be WHC. You need to be physically and mentally tough enough and Priest just isn’t. Everyone talks about their story, but there’s only room for one Chosen One, and you’re looking at him! McIntyre is ready to tear Priest apart, will he do that and have one less obstacle on his journey back to WrestleMania?
DMG CTRL regroups backstage.
They’re all excited after their ambush on the tag champs. But how is Bayley feeling? Oh, she’s fine. But she feels much better after seeing what happened out there. But then Tegan Nox & Natalya confront them! DMG CTRL thinks they can just show up on Raw and get away with that stuff? Uh, why do they care? Uh, well, why are you here? They all shout and argue, and Adam Pearce storms in to say save it for the Rumble! He asks Nox & Natty to give him a moment with DMG CTRL, and the Queen of Hart says fine, they’re tired of being disrespected anyway.
Natty & Nox leave, and Pearce then says he invited them here for two reasons: promote The Rumble, and promote the tag title match. They were NOT supposed to go into business for themselves! Uh, if he has a problem, take it up with Aldis. Oh, funny. If he can pry Aldis away from staring himself in the mirror, Pearce will do that. Well, then get used to seeing DMG CTRL here. Once Asuka & Kairi win those tag titles on Friday, they’ll be showing up on Raw a lot more, buddy. Bye~! DMG CTRL heads out, Pearce turns around and Indus Sher is there. Jinder steps forward to say they need to talk.
What are Pearce’s plans for him, The Modern Day Maharaja, the most talked-about man of 2024, the man who stepped up to The Rock, and who is responsible for damaging Seth Rollins. Right now is good, right? Pearce says okay, just meet him in his office. Veer & Sanga leave with Jinder, and Pearce says he needs a drink. Will the Raw GM be spotted on Bourbon Street after tonight?
Drew McIntyre VS Damian Priest!
Ever since the uneasy alliance back at Survivor Series, the Scottish Terminator and Senor MITB have been wanting to throw hands against each other. And now, just days before the Royal Rumble, they will have that fight! Will McIntyre’s “jealousy” cost him his momentum going into this Saturday? Or will Priest’s pride be the cause of his fall?
Raw returns and McIntyre makes his entrance. The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two stare down. McIntyre and Priest slowly circle, tie up, and are in a deadlock. McIntyre headlocks, Priest powers up and out, but McIntyre runs him over! Fans fire up as Priest storms up and shoves McIntyre. McIntyre kicks low, headlocks, but Priest powers up and out again. They RAM shoulders, Priest rebounds and he runs McIntyre over! McIntyre gets up to shove Priest, so Priest ROCKS him! Priest stomps a mudhole in the corner, CLUBS away on McIntyre, then lets off as the ref counts. Priest whips, McIntyre rebounds to LARIAT!
Fans fire up as McIntyre fires off on Priest in a corner, then CHOPS! Priest storms around, then ROCKS McIntyre! McIntyre tumbles out of the ring, and Priest goes out around the way. Priest runs in and leaps off the step, but McIntyre catches him! McIntyre hits an OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! McIntyre then puts Priest into the ring, storms in after him, and CHOPS him against ropes! Fans “WOO~!” and McIntyre brings Priest up to ROCK! Priest ROCKS McIntyre back! Priest runs, but McIntyre clotheslines Priest up and out! McIntyre storms out after Priest but Priest mule kicks him! Priest whips, McIntyre reverses, and he clinches again!
Priest claws the eyes and RAMS McIntyre into the post! Priest drags McIntyre up, reels him in, and aims for the desk! BROEKN ARROW on the desk!! The desk doesn’t break but maybe McIntyre just did! Priest stands tall and fans fire up as Raw goes to break!
Raw returns once again and Priest fires shots on McIntyre. Priest talks trash, KICKS and KICKS and UPPERCUTS McIntyre around the ring, then KICKS him more. Priest talks more trash, but McIntyre CHOPS in return! And ROCKS! And CHOPS! McIntyre whips, Priest reverses but McIntyre KICKS the back drop away! McIntyre runs, Priest follows, and he LARIATS McIntyre down! Cover, TWO! Priest clamps onto McIntyre for a chinlock and he grinds McIntyre down. The fans rally, McIntyre fights up, and McIntyre pries the hold away. Priest lets off to CLUB McIntyre in the back!
Priest shoves McIntyre to ropes, McIntyre holds ropes and ELBOWS Priest! McIntyre runs up, DOUBLE BOOTS bring them both down! The fans fire up and McIntyre snarls as he sits up. McIntyre seethes as he runs up to LARIAT Priest! And LARIAT again! Priest gets up, McIntyre clinches him in the corner, OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Then the NECKBREAKER! Both men are down again, but McIntyre kips up! The fans fire up with McIntyre and he aims from a corner. The countdown begins, “THREE! TWO! ONE!” But Priest dodges the Claymore! Priest runs up, but McIntyre ducks the heel kick to CHOP!
McIntyre runs, Priest follows, but McIntyre SPINEBUSTERS! Jackknife bridge, TWO! McIntyre seethes again, clutching his side from the crash on the desk earlier. McIntyre drags Priest up, fireman’s carries, but Priest fires elbows. And then BELL CLAP! Priest whips McIntyre to a corner, shakes the stars out and runs in, but into a BOOT! McIntyre runs in, but into a FLATLINER! Cover, TWO! Priest grows frustrated, but he runs in at the corner to- NO, McIntyre catches the jump elbow! McIntyre can’t hold on long, and Priest fires off KICK after KICK! Priest then spins, into the GLASGOW KISS HEADBUTT!
Priest goes to a corner, McIntyre runs in but Priest puts him on the apron! McIntyre goes right up top to FLYING- NO, Priest dodges! JUMP KICK! Then Priest runs up, tilt-o-whirls, but McIntyre slips free! So Priest suplexes for a BROKEN ARROW! Cover, TWO!! McIntyre survives and bails out of the ring! Priest builds speed and goes up the ropes, to ROLLING KICK!! Fans fire up as Priest then brings McIntyre up, puts him in the ring, but wait! Is that R-Truth? Fans fire up as Truth wants to give Priest his cut, but Priest shoves him down!? Truth realizes duh, put it in the briefcase! McIntyre storms up but Priest ROUNDHOUSES him from the apron!
Priest steps in, springboards, but into a kick! Underhooks and FUTURE SHOCK!! Truth asks what the password is for the briefcase’s lock!

Cover, McIntyre wins!!
Winner: Drew McIntyre, by pinfall
Truth tried to put the money in the bank for Priest, but that all backfired! McIntyre is rolling into the Royal Rumble, will he win his way back to former glory?
My Thoughts:
A great episode for Raw, especially as a go-home to the Royal Rumble. Rollins opens with his announcement, which didn’t seem as heavy as I expected going into this, because Gunther also shows up to call him out for a possible match at Mania. Rollins said “three to four months,” but that could be exaggeration for the sake of making him look John Cena levels of superhuman in a return just in time for WrestleMania. No vacating of the title, too, so the leg must not be in as bad of shape as thought. As great as Gunther VS Rollins would be, I don’t know the likelihood of that, with all the other possibilities in the Rumble match itself.
To that point, we got an awesome promo from Cody and Punk, probably a top contender for promo of the year already. Honestly, all the promos we’ve gotten out of Cody, Punk and McIntyre have been great stuff. Also, we really need Cody VS Punk before Mania, that’d be such good stuff. I’d still lean towards Punk winning the Rumble to go for the World Heavyweight Championship. And in connection to Roman VS Rock in the works, I don’t think Cody even bothers shifting over and using the Elimination Chamber to get at the Universal Championship, he really will just have to wait until some later event.
Great opening match of Imperium VS New Day, and taking the count-out draw and making it into a wild brawl with the table spot. I was hoping they’d announce a Street Fight Tag rematch, but instead, Kofi just straight up wants Gunther and the Intercontinental Championship. Pretty sure Gunther retains, but he and Kofi are going to have an awesome match. Bronson also has a good promo calling out Jey, Jey VS Bronson is going to be great stuff, and Jey beating Bronson is definitely going to set him up for a match with Gunther. Not sure what happened to Pearce’s plans for the IC title, but Ricochet getting a concussion back in December that WWE kept quiet about probably tanked a lot of that. Maybe Ricochet makes a return during the Rumble.
Really good stuff out of Ivy VS Sarah, and great stuff out of Gable VS Ivar. Ivy gets a strong win with a new finisher, though honestly a flying bulldog is a bit riskier than a submission hold. Ivar gets the win because of Sarah, but he and Gable are both going strong into the Rumble that they’re not winning anyway. Really good surprise appearance of DMG CTRL tonight. I like that Bayley interrupts Becky and Nia confronting each other only for her to take the beating so that Becky and Nia are mostly even going into the Rumble. She wants to be Women’s World Champion per the DMG CTRL golden mission, so smart to have her here tonight.
Also good involvement of DMG CTRL going after Kayden & Katana to hype up the tag title match this Friday. I can’t be sure how the go-home math works out here, given how the DMG CTRL story is still heading for Bayley being kicked out. For now, I’ll stick with what I said last Friday that Kabuki Warriors could win the belts, that puts pressure on Bayley, and then when Bayley fails, she gets kicked out. And really good tag match of Shayna & Stark beating Candice & Indi, so maybe Shayna & Stark are the ones waiting for whoever comes out of this Friday’s match for at least a match at Elimination Chamber.
And of course, great stuff in the Judgment Day story tonight. Good little promo of them arguing with the tensions getting high again, and Rhea just kinda snapping at everyone there. Finn & JD of course help Dom beat Miz, but DIY of course runs Judgment Day off. Finn & Priest VS DIY is going to be great stuff, and at this point, it could go either way because Judgment Day looks close to imploding. Truth was again brilliant, and what a brilliant way for him to cost Priest against McIntyre. That main event was awesome stuff even with Truth getting involved, Priest losing adds to both the Judgment Day story and McIntyre’s story. McIntyre is looking strong going into the Rumble, and even though Punk seems like the likely choice, we could and should get McIntyre VS Punk on the way to Mania.
My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Jelly Roll is here!
He says hey to Randy Orton, and Randy says Jelly looks great! Jelly is happy to be here and always enjoys seeing the WWE. What more will the country superstar get to do here tonight live in Nashville?
LA Knight is here!
Nashville fires up for the Mega Star as he heads to the ring, and he grabs a mic to say, “LEMME TALK TO YA! Predictions and spoilers. Two things that are common themes here in the wrestling business, two things that come out of Paul Heyman’s mouth an awful lot.” The fans boo, but Knight says when you think about Heyman, that’s a guy who feels he holds all this power. In some ways, he does. Think about it: Seth Freakin’ Rollins, an honestly desperate man, a man who is a little washed, had to go and make a desperate move like joining forces with Heyman. Then they amassed this group, this “Goon troop of that slop house, Bronson Reed, and then that dog brained Bron Breakker.”
The fans do bark but Knight says don’t do that, Bron is gonna get all excited and start twitching, shaking out the last couple crumbs of his brain that’re left. But Knight will stop joking and get serious right now. Those two men tried to hurt Knight, injure him, get him out of the WWE, all on the orders of Seth Rollins, because he couldn’t do it his damn self! So now in 24 hours, it is Knight, it is Rollins, at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Knight got his hands on Rollins twice. But even dropping him on his head this past Monday is not enough! Rollins, Knight wants your dignity, he wants justice, and if he’s honest, he wants to hurt Rollins!
And hurt Rollins he will! Rollins has all the reason to sit back there with Heyman and his boys saying to himself, “I’m not scared of LA Knight.” Well he ain’t gotta be scared to get his ass kicked! And kicked it most certainly will be! And that’s not a prediction, that isn’t even a spoiler, that’s a damn fact of life, cuz Knight IS the spoiler! YEAH! But then “Ladies and gentlemen…” Paul Heyman makes his introductions, says the fans blew their cue, but that’s okay. Because that is not surprising coming from fans of L A Knight! “YEAH!” Heyman hates when fans do that. But as Seth Rollins’ Oracle, Heyman is blessed with many gifts.
Besides being outlandishly good-looking, Heyman can also see the future. And he sees into the future for Rollins, for Heyman, for Bron & Bronson, and their future is the future of this entire industry! Heyman looks into the future for Knight, and sees absolutely nothing, because Knight has no future. But wait, Solo Sikoa makes his way out here? Solo and the MFT make their way out, and Solo has a mic. “Y’know, some things change, and some things stay the same. Paul Heyman, when you left to Raw, and when you left my family, everything changed. There’s no more Bloodline, no more Tribal Chief, and there is no more Wise Man.”
The fans chant for “O T C! O T C!” Solo ignores that to tell Heyman that if he wants to live to see another day, Solo suggests Heyman leave before the MFT puts his big ass through the table like before! Heyman does indeed retreat through the crowd. Solo then tells Mr. L A Knight, “YEAH!” “NO!” “YEAH!” Knight says listen to the people, they say “YEAH!” Solo says here’s something that changed: He’s the NEW United States Champion, baby! That means the man that beat Knight at WrestleMania, the one everyone is afraid of, the Samoan Werewolf, Jacob Fatu, Solo beat him and he is gone! The fans cheer for “FATU! FATU!” but Solo ignores that, too.
Knight will get the same opportunity Solo just gave Heyman: Knight can leave the ring, leave the arena, and not come back… Or the MFT make it so Knight never walks again. Knight steps to the ropes, but the fans cheer him on! Knight says the fans won’t let him leave, so if MFT wants to make him leave, then they gotta do it themselves! Solo has JC Mateo, Tonga Loa & Tala Tonga flank the apron, Knight dares someone to make a move! But who slides that chair in? JIMMY USO! Jimmy YANKS Loa down, SUPERKICKS him, and Knight swings the chair! Jimmy JAMS JC with a chair, SMACKS him down, and the fans fire up again!
Knight & #BigJim stand tall, but then Tala Tonga is even taller! But Solo has him stand down! The fans boo but Tala listens to Solo. The MFT regroup and Aldis is here! Aldis says Solo is the US Champion and he has new friends, but this is still SmackDown, and Aldis runs the show. Solo would’ve been more concerned with not getting molly whopped by Jimmy but he’s out here starting fights. So if it’s a fight he wants, then let’s give Music City a tag team match! Let’s make it Solo & “that stooge,” JC Mateo against Jimmy Uso & LA Knight! “YEAH!” Will The Mega Star help #BigJim be all tuned up for the huge title match tomorrow night?
Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss meet backstage.
Alexa says, “Hello, your highness.” Maybe Charlotte can take some time out of her royal schedule to be ringside for Alexa’s match? Charlotte tells “Blisster,” that as the shirt says, “We’re Not Friends.” Yes, Alexa remembers. But that’s why she needs Charlotte ringside. Everyone else will have their allies ringside, and if Charlotte wants to have a chance at Evolution, Alexa needs her ringside, too. Charlotte accepts that, but does she look like a cheerleader to her? Oh, Charlotte. You’d be a terrible cheerleader. Not true! She cheers herself on just fine. The “team of convenience” heads out, but will it be Twisted Bliss here in Nashville?
Fatal 4 Way: Roxanne Perez VS Kairi Sane VS Alexa Bliss VS Sol Ruca!
SmackDown returns as The Prodigy makes her entrance, Raquel Rodriguez with her. The Pirate Princess and #TwoBeltsRuca are already present, with Asuka and Zaria, leaving Alexa to make her entrance with Charlotte by her side. The bell rings, Roxie goes right after Kairi, so Sol and Alexa brawl on their end. The fans rally as Roxie HAMMERS Kairi in a corner and Sol whips Alexa. Alexa tilt-o-whirls but Sol turns that to a SPINNING FACEBUSTER! Cover, Kairi breaks it! Kairi stands Olo up, blocks a kick and spins her to ROCK her! And AX KICK her! The fans fire up and Kairi whips, but Sol reverses.
Kairi goes up and RANAS Sol out of the ring! The fans fire up, Kairi builds speed, but Roxie hits a THESZ PRESS! Roxie windmills haymakers, then she drags Kairi up. Roxie wrenches, clinches, but Sol springboards to DOUBLE MISSILE DRPOKICK Roxie and Kairi! Those two tumble out, Sol builds speed as the fans rally, and Sol handsprings to FOSBURY FLOP! Down go all three opponents and Charlotte is as stunned as anyone! Sol smiles as she stands tall, and SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Sol drags Roxie up and into the ring, then runs up to trip her up! Handspring and SUPERKICK! Cover, TWO! Roxie flounders, Sol brings her up to fireman’s carry, but Roxie slips free. Roxie shoves Sol to a corner, runs up, but Sol slips to the outside. Sol springboards, Roxie gets under, but Sol comes back to waistlock and SPINNING- Oh, Kairi gets in, but Roxie’s feet SMACK her in the head! Roxie fights free and CHPO BLOCKS Sol! Roxie stomps away on the leg, then hits a KNEE JAMMER! Sol writhes but Roxie runs to tilt-o-whirl RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Cover, TWO! Sol toughs it out but Roxie brings her around for a toehold.
Roxie stomps away on Sol’s leg, then pushes on the toehold. But Alexa rolls Roxie up! TWO, and Roxie waistlocks. Alexa elbows free, runs up, but Roxie drop toeholds! Roxie steps over, LA MAGISTROL! TWO! Alexa escapes, Roxie runs up to facelock, but Alexa wrenches free. Alexa whips, Roxie swings but Alexa dodges. They dosido and Roxie sunset flips! Alexa rolls through to basement DROPKICK! Alexa stands Roxie up but Roxie wrenches and THROWS Alexa down! Roxie stomps Alexa at the ropes in a very Alexa way! Roxie mockingly takes a bow while Alexa flops out of the ring. But then Kairi FLYING KABUKI ELBOWS Roxie! Cover, TWO!
Kairi keeps moving, she BLASTS Sol off the apron, but Roxie waistlocks. Kairi bucks the O’Conner, Roxie ducks the uraken! Roxie ROCKS Kairi, then brings her around to whip. Kairi hits buckles, Roxie runs in and UPPERCUTS! Roxie rolls, returns, but Kairi BOOTS her away! Kairi goes up, SmackDown returns to single picture, and Roxie SLAPS Kairi! Roxie climbs, Kairi CLUBS her, and the two brawl. Roxie CLUBS Kairi, brings her up, but Kairi resists the suplex! Sol & Alexa join in! TOWER OF DOOM! Roxie and Kairi flounder away, and Charlotte sorta cheers Alexa on. The fans rally, Alexa and Sol rise to fire forearms!
The fans duel, Alexa dodges Sol to SLAP, ROCK, and KNEE her! Then BLOCKBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Sol stays in this but Alexa brings her up. Alexa reels Sol in but Roxie SUPERKICKS Alexa down! Roxie puts Alexa on ropes, runs and UPPERCUTS her in the back! Roxie then goes up, up, LIONSAULT! Cover, Sol breaks it! Sol whips Roxie to ropes, but Roxie wheelbarrows, only for Sol to have the arms! SURFBOARD BACKSTABBER! SHINING WIZARD! Cover, TWO! Sol hurries to scoop Roxie, SLAMS her down, then she goes up the corner! Kairi CLIPS Sol’s legs! Kairi climbs up and HEADBUTTS Sol into the Tree of Woe!
The fans rally as Kairi rises up, WOE STOMPS! Cover, Alexa AND Roxie break it! The fans fire up as Alexa and Roxie oddly work together to TOSS Kairi out! But then Roxie rolls Alexa, with tights! TWO! Alexa clinches, TWISTED- NO, Roxie slips free! Alexa whips Roxie away, Roxie goes up and over! No Pop Rox yet, Alexa ELBOWS Roxie! DOUBLE SOL SNATCHER!!! Cover, Raquel helps with the ropebreak!! The fans boo, but Zaria says watch yourself! Zaria ROCKS Raquel! Raquel scoops Zaria! Asuka runs up, Raquel BOOTS her down, then she gives Zaria SNAKE EYES off the desk! Charlotte THROWS Raquel over the deks!
The fans fire up, Sol is upset, but she turns around into an URAKEN from Kairi! The Cutlass cuts Sol down, Kairi goes up to aim at Alexa, IN-SANE ELBOW into BOOTS! Alexa turns things around to then clinch! TWISTED SISTER ABIGAIL!! Cover, Alexa wins!
Winner: Alexa Bliss, by pinfall
Charlotte applauds, and her being Alexa’s backup really did work out. Will the odd couple win the gold the same way on Sunday?
WWE Tag Team Championships: The Street Profits VS The Wyatt Sick6!
The first time around was ruined by the chaos and animosity that is the SmackDown Tag Division. But now, Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins will be facing Joe Gacy & Dexter Lumis with more fair circumstances. Will the Profits stay up? Or will this be their reckoning?
SmackDown returns, and the lights go down! The piano plays and the fireflies come out to play as the Wyatts make their entrance. The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who revels in who they are!
The teams sort out, Gacy starts against Dawkins. They circle, tie up, and Dawkins powers Gacy to a corner. The ref counts, Dawkins backs off at 4, and Ford mocks Gacy with a “crazy laugh.” The fans cheer the Profits on as Gacy and Dawkins go again. They tie up, Gacy powers Dawkins back, but then Dawkins powers Gacy back. Gacy turns things around, Gacy puts Dawkins in the corner, and now Lumis laughs. Dawkins and Gacy reset again, tie up, and Dawkins waistlocks to SLAM Gacy. Dawkins keeps the waistlock, Gacy fights up, and Gacy fires elbows!

Lumis drags Dawkins over, paces around, then he drags Dawkins to his feet. Lumis whips again and TOSSES Dawkins out! The ref keeps Lumis from pursuing, and same for Gacy, but SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns once again and Lumis has a neck wrench on Dawkins. Dawkins fights up but Lumis CLUBS him down. Lumis waistlocks, Dawkins switches, and they go to ropes.

Winners: Joe Gacy & Dexter Lumis, by pinfall (NEW WWE Tag Team Champions)
Howdy, Rowan & Nikki celebrate with Gacy & Lumis! They finally have some golden justification for their existence, will this only be the beginning for the Wyatts’ takeover of the WWE?
The other teams of SmackDown are watching.
And they don’t like what they just saw. Motor City Machine Guns & Fraxiom have varying looks of dread on their face, and now DIY walks in. Tommaso Ciampa is shouting, “Stupid! Stupid!” Chris Sabin says Johnny Gargano has some nerve showing his face after what he did last week. Shelley says don’t get too angry, or Gargano will run away again. Gargano says they can’t fix the past, but they need to work together now more than ever! The worst case scenario just came true! Frazer says give it a break. Ciampa says if these idiots- guys had just listened to DIY in the first place, none of this would be happening.
Axiom asks why they should listen to DIY. Ciampa says it’s because they know what’s best! DUH! Frazer says shut up, the Wyatts are the champs. And since it was the Wyatts who cost Fraxiom their shot at the Profits, maybe Fraxiom should get the first shot, right? Andrade y Rey Fenix walk in and asks if they’re talking opportunities. Hey, chicos, after the last few weeks, Fenix & Andrade are now part of this tag division. What?! NO! DIY is freaking out more, the dynamic is ruined! They’re gonna talk to Aldis right now! Andrade says tranquilo! Fenix says adios, amigos. But will El Idolo & The Firebird blaze a trail right to the titles?
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Nashville’s own, Jelly Roll!
The country superstar and WWE super fan performs his hit song, Liar! But then LOGAN PAUL interrupts?! Seriously!? He mocks the fans booing him, saying those boos are for Jelly! Everyone is here to see real WWE superstars! Certainly not to listen to music made for people who have tattoos of their children, but not custody of them! The fans boo that, but Logan tells Jelly that the ring is sacred. And this venue is sacred! Jelly belongs on a stage, not in the ring. And what Logan is more disgusted by is celebrities, influences, personalities, or whatever Jelly is, coming into “our” industry, leeching off of “our” success on a platform that “we” have built!
Clout chasers DISGUST Logan! The fans boo because who is Logan to talk? But Logan says the truth is, the WWE doesn’t need a Jelly Roll, it needs a Logan Paul! The fans boo even more! Logan says he raised the bar for what it means to be a pro-wrestler! And Jelly does what? Why’s he here? Logan is here cuz he belongs here. And breaking news: the WWE loves Logan so much that his podcast, ImPAULsive, has just inked a long term contract with the WWE! Jelly has Logan hold up. Logan must not understand where he is. This is JELLY’s hometown of Nashville, Tennessee! The fans fire up for that!
And just so we’re clear, down here, nobody gives a DAMN about Logan’s podcast! The fans cheer that, too! Jelly and Logan get in their faces, and Randy Orton storms out here shouting, “Outsider? OUTSIDER?!” Orton can’t believe Logan has the BALLS to call Jelly Roll an OUTSIDER, in his hometown!? That is one of the biggest names in country music, in music period, and if anyone is an outsider, LOGAN is the outsider! How about some damn respect?! Orton storms into the ring, tells Logan “you entitled, whiny little b*tch,” everyone back there, from top to bottom, does everything they can do, bending backwards and moving Heaven and Earth, just to make Logan look good!
But wait, someone else is here?! DREW MCINTYRE CLAYMORES ORTON!! Drew says that is what happens when Drew doesn’t hesitate! Logan applauds, security rushes in, and Drew says okay, okay, he’s done! He got what he wanted. Drew leaves, gives security thumbs up on the “great job” they’re doing, and promises that Orton’s ass is all his tomorrow! And then Logan is a vulture, picking the bones! The fans boo but security is too busy with Drew! Jelly is upset, the fans are upset, but then Jelly clamps onto Logan’s curly hair! Jelly stands Logan up, THROWS him down, and the fans fire up! Jelly tells Logan that’s what he gets!
Jelly helps Orton up to his feet, and the fans cheer! Logan wants back in but now it’s Jelly & Orton in his way. Security rushes back up, producers and refs get in there, and Aldis has everyone stand down. Orton hugs Jelly, he loved the throw! Logan says he’s got something for Jelly! Logan takes one of the guitars and SMASHES it against the drum set! Jelly is furious but Logan makes a mess of the entire set-up! Even the speakers and keyboard! “Oopsie~!” The fans boo but Orton has Jelly stand down, Logan’s just throwing a tantrum like the child he is. Will Drew and Logan each get their comeuppance soon enough?
Jelly Roll and Randy Orton regroup backstage.
Orton thanks Jelly for haivng his back but same back to Orton. And Jelly doesn’t trust Logan, so he might join Satruday NIght’s Main Event ot watch. Orton would be honored to have JElly in his codrner! Then he’s got Orton’s back! They shake hands on it, will #JellyRKO be standing tall in ATL?
Aleister Black VS Ron Killings!
The Dark Father didn’t appreciate The Truth going after Kit Wilson just to call out John Cena, but the Black Mass was supposed to be the end of it. However, Aleister should know better, because Ron Killings is driving now. Will Aleister be able to handle The Truth, the whole Truth, and nothing but the Truth? Or will he make Ron Killings #FadeToBlack?
The bell rings and Truth dodges a boot to LEG LARIAT! Then he runs in and SPLASHES at the corner! The fans rally, Truth brings Aleister in and suplexes, but Aleister slips free! Aleister spins, sweeps the legs, then he brings Truth up to fire fast hands! It is a strike fest but the ref backs Aleister off as Truth is in the corner. Aleister kicks low, whips, but Truth hits the SPINNING ELBOW! The fans fire up as Aleister bails out, and Truth says, “What’s up?” “WHAT’S UP!” Truth runs, but Aleister KNEES low! Aleister whips Truth out of the ring, then goes up, out, and ASAI MOONSAULTS! Truth dodges! Truth then RAMS Aleiste rinto the POST!
Truth puts Aleister in the ring, “Who’s driving now!?” The fans fire up, but Truth grabs a chair! Truth isn’t playing around, but Aleister stands on the chair! Then he KNEES Truth in the mouth! Aleister takes the chair, the ref says don’t do it, and then he takes the chair away! Truth O’Conner Rolls, TRUTH WINS!
Winner: Ron Killings, by pinfall
The fans cheer but Aleister is furious! Truth is crazy like a fox, but Aleister is a wolf! He stalks Truth to the back, will he get vengeance one way or another?
Aleister Black follows Truth!
But Damian Priest steps in! Priest gets it, Aleister is mad, he lost, but he has to let it go! Aleister calms down, and says fine, Priest is right. Okay, just take it easy. But then JUMP KNEE! Aleister beats up on Priest with KICKS, and then a BLACK MASS! Priest falls, Aleister looms over him, and Aleister says now he can let it go.
Wade Barrett is in the ring.
And he is already joined by WWE Women’s Champion, Tiffany Stratton, and her Hall of Famer friend and challenger, Trish Stratus. Wade says in 48 hours at WWE Evolution, we have a dream match on our hands for the title! He has a few questions, and he starts with champion Tiffany Stratton. Tiffy, what made you choose THE Trish Stratus as your opponent? Tiff says it should be obvious: She already beat Charlotte Flair, Nia Jax, Bayley, and at Evolution, why wouldn’t she want one of the greatest of all time? Tiff gave Trish this match because once Tiff wins, she’ll be the GOAT. Well, yes, this is perhaps THE GOAT.
But there is certainly pressure on Trish’s shoulders. How is she preparing to face the top woman of today? Trish says yes, there is pressure. But the one who should be feeling it is Tiff. Tiff said it herself, she needs to beat Trish to become the GOAT, something Trish already is. The fans cheer that! So when Trish wins at Evolution, she leaves with the title while Tiff leaves with nothing. On Sunday, Trish does what she’s been doing for 25 years, and that is deliver Stratusfaction! The fans cheer that, and Tiff says sure, she’ll let Trish relive her glory days. But things are different now. This is Evoltuion for a reason.
And Tiff knows all about Trish’s accomplishments, she saw the VHS tapes. Oh, cute. Did she hear about VHS on TikTok? Look, Tiff, Trish built the division, solidified it, and is still delivering for it! The fans cheer that, too! Trish loves Tiff, loves what Tiff is doing as champion, but on Sunday, Trish becomes the EIGHT-TIME Women’s Champion! WAIT, Naomi is here! The fans fire up for Miss Money in the bank, and she just wants to remind us all… That it don’t matter- JADE ATTACKS! Jade Cargill will not let Naomi talk, she throws hands! Producers rush out here once again, and Jade shouts, “ON SIGHT! ON SIGHT!”
Naomi gets up and throws hands back! The brawl is on, but these two will go NO HOLDS BARRED at Evolution! Will Jade make sure Naomi has nothing left to even think about cashing in? As for Tiff and Trish, will their friendship end because of ambition?
Solo Sikoa & JC Mateo w/ MFT VS Jimmy Uso & LA Knight!
The Usurper of the Table used his entire “family tree” to take the US Championship from Jacob Fatu, but now he’ll have to answer to Big Brother Jim! Will the Imperial Unit keep Solo at 100%? Or will Jimmy and the Mega Star keep it 100 and build momentum going into Saturday Night’s Main Event?
SmackDown returns as Knight makes his entrance to join Jimmy in the ring. That leaves Solo and the MFT to make their entrance. The teams sort out and Solo starts against Knight. They circle, but Loa takes as wipe! Solo CLOBBERS Knight int he distraction! Solo CLUBS Knight, talks trash, then whips Knight, only for Knight to NECKBREAKER! Knight stomps a mudhole into Solo, “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight stops as the ref counts to tag Jimmy in. Knight runs, taunts JC, and he KNEES Solo! Jimmy does the same before he HIP ATTACKS!

JC DECKS Jimmy with a right hand! JC stands Jimmy up, DECKS him again, then tags Solo. The fans rally as Jimmy fires off on Solo and JC! Jimmy CHOPS, runs, but Solo trips him! Solo drags Jimmy out to SMACK him off the desk!
Solo fireman’s carries, SAMOAN DROP on the desk! MFT soaks up the heat while SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Solo talks trash as he stands over Jimmy on top of the desk. Solo watches Jimmy flounder, then brings him into the ring. Solo watches Jimmy go to the corner, then runs in, HIP ATTACK! Solo soaks up more heat, looms over Jimmy, and he HEADBUTTS Jimmy down! Solo stalks Jimmy to the ropes, CHOKES him on the ropes, and even CLAWS Jimmy’s face! Jimmy endures, Solo stops as the ref counts, but that lets JC CHOKE Jimmy! Knight protests but the ref misses it. JC tags in, then he whips Jimmy to a corner. JC runs up to ELBOW Jimmy! Jimmy flops down and JC tags Solo back in. Solo looms over Jimmy, drags him up, but Jimmy fires hands!
Solo reaches out but Jimmy keeps him back! Jimmy fires hands, reaches out, but Solo whips him away into buckles! Jimmy falls, clutches his face, and SmackDown returns to single picture as Solo tells him he should’ve stayed in the family! Solo runs corner to corner, HIP ATTACK! Solo seethes as he goes corner to corner again, HIP ATTACK misses! Solo hits buckles and both men are down! Jimmy and Solo crawl, hot tag to JC and he drags Jimmy away! JC hoists Jimmy up, and hits a BIG back suplex, only for Jimmy to land out !JC blocks a kick, but not the DRAGON WHIP! Both men are down again and the fans fire up!
Jimmy and JC crawl, Jimmy staggers, hot tag to Knight! The fans fire up as Knight rallies on MFT! Knight throws hands, “YEAH YEAH! YEAH!” Knight whips, JC reverses, but Knight LEAPINGN LARIATS! Knight whips, JC reverses, but Knight dodges in the corner! JUMP NECKBREAKER! The fans fire up again and Knight kicks JC for the B- NO, JC powers out! JC runs up, Knight BOOTS him! Knight dodges Solo’s cheap shot to CLOBBER Solo! JC rolls Knight, TWO! Knight kicks, ROCKS, but JC fireman’s carries !Knight slips free to REVERSE DDT!

And wait, Paul Heyman is still here!? He has the Rollins phone! Heyman tells Knight to calm down, he’s not doing anything. TALA BOOTS KNIGHT!! BUT JIMMY ROLLS SOLO! JIMMY & KNIGHT WIN!
Winners: Jimmy Uso & LA Knight, by pinfall
Jimmy hurries away as MFT pursues! But Solo blames Heyman because he TOLD Heyman to stay outta here! Heyman is worried now that Solo’s anger is aimed at him. But Knight gets Solo with B F T!! The fans fire up and Knight tells Heyman to watch his ass! But Knight should take his own advice! BRON BREAKKER is in the ring!! Knight turns around, into the SUPER SPEAR!! BRONSON REED IS UP TOP!? TSUNAMI!! The fans are torn as Bronson shouts that this is THEIR WWE! Security rushes out here for the third time tonight, but Heyman has the monsters stand down. Will Knight even be able to stand up to face Rollins?
As for Jimmy, will he give Solo some tough love by taking the United States Championship from him? Or will Solo’s new brothers in arms stop at nothing to make sure he keeps it?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown as the go-home to the big Atlanta weekend, and not a lot in the way of “Go-Home Syndrome” other than a big Gunther VS Goldberg recap package at the hour mark. There was also confirmation that some rumors out there are right: Jelly Roll is getting involved for an in-ring program. Logan interrupting his concert was a touch surprising, but SummerSlam is coming and that is very much a PLE worth Logan Paul’s time/paycheck. Drew getting the jump on Orton was good, too, that adds to Orton VS McIntyre for SNME, and I feel like we’re getting Orton & Jelly VS Logan & Drew, but maybe not cuz I don’t see Drew caring for Logan’s stuck-up personality. But maybe it’ll be just like Logan teaming with Cena, where the blame for the loss is put on Logan.
Aleister VS Truth was a rather short match but it was a good win for Truth to get one over on Aleister. And clearly the real feud is Aleister VS Priest after Aleister beats Priest down like that. Those two can have a great couple of matches building towards SummerSlam and some sort of title opportunity, and there might even be potential for them as allies should the fight “help them find respect for each other.” The two just work so well aesthetically together, it wouldn’t surprise me if they tried that for a stretch.
Great tag title match, a little surprised it wasn’t the main event, but considering what we got from Knight, Heyman, and Solo’s “Family Tree,” it makes sense in retrospect. The Wyatts winning was certainly the right move to me, they certainly needed something like this, and at least they did it using Heelish numbers game tactics. The rest of the tag division being upset about it, and being upset with each other, was good stuff, and certainly an interesting move for Andrade & Fenix to stick together as a team. Also it kinda fits that Los Garza wasn’t present, they already have tag titles so what do they need to worry about the Wyatts for right now?
Speaking of Knight, Heyman and “MFT,” great promos from everybody, and great brawl to set up the tag main event. Lots of overbooking with how Loa & Tala were ringside and then Heyman returned after that warning from Solo. Heyman of course brought Bron & Bronson with him for that, so while Jimmy & Knight win the match, the go-home math for each of their SNME matches are very different. Jimmy got the win and ran off to “stand tall” because Solo will retain the title. Knight gets beat down because some how, some way, he’ll likely win against Rollins, but that’s all to smokescreen Rollins attempting a cash-in on Gunther VS Goldberg a la WrestleMania 31.
Very good promo from Tiff and Trish but it didn’t really add anything, and it didn’t go very far with Naomi showing up. Jade going after Naomi was really good, too. I can’t be sure who wins between Jade and Naomi when it is No Holds Barred, but whatever damage Jade does to Naomi is reason enough for Naomi not to cash-in on Sunday. And of course Tiff beats Trish, they’re just doing this for another great generational battle like Tiff VS Charlotte was. Charlotte and Alexa had a good promo before the great Fatal 4 Way, and great win for Alexa through it. The math now says she and Charlotte aren’t winning on Sunday.
As I’ve said before, Roxie & Raquel losing would certainly fast track things in the Judgment Day’s newest dysfunction, but with Liv Morgan out for some time, they might try to stretch things out. That makes me think Roxie & Raquel retain and feud with Kabuki Warriors 2v2 on Raw until Liv is closer to her return.
My Score: 8.8/10

He, Evil Uno & John Silver have had it with how Preston Vance and his new “friends” have treated The Dark Order, so it is time to finally have it out in trios action! Will everyone want to #JoinDarkOrder after tonight? Or will Perro Peligroso, Cole Karter and #WhoTheEffIs Griff Garrison bully their way to the top?

Mansoor, Mason Madden, Johnny TV & Taya Valkyrie are all here, and dressed for Texas! Taya says “Hello, Arlington, how are you? Yes, I’m gorgeous, I know. And oh, I did not come alone. We are MXM TV! Pure talent, pure class, chaos, and violence! And while you all sit here in your filth, depressed and underdressed, we came here with a life-changing announcement!” Johnny takes the mic to say that before they change everyone’s lives, there is business to take care of. Mansoor & Mason were just competing in the Land of the Rising Sun, in the squared circles of Japan, where they are now regarded as the most legendary of legends in Japanese history!
So let’s welcome them back to ‘Murica with a standing ovation! The fans do applaud, and Johnny says okay, nice to see their slimy rear-ends weren’t stuck to their chairs. They stood on their hooves. But are they stupid? He means cheer! He will put this mic in that guy’s mouth! They just don’t give these jackets away! These jackets are for stars! Let’s hear it, ladies and gentlemen! The fans cheer a bit more, Mansoor says he appreciates Johnny’s enthusiasm, but you can’t expect ignorant “gaijin” to understand! MXM Collection did in fact catwalk the King’s Road, they mastered Strong Style, and they got these sweet, sweet Ribera jackets.
Because when MXM jackets, they jacket together! What? Uh… The fans chant “Jacket! Jacket!” Mason says Strong Style and jackets weren’t the only things they got over there. They also learned that the fans over there actually smell alright! It is all the ignorant, disgusting mutants here filling their noses with filth! So MXM Labs have come up with a new concept: Perfume! They cue up a commercial? “Beneath the surface, something stirs.” “A piercing glance that turns hips.” “A heat that makes you touch tips.” “A gaze that feels like a drop in a puddle.” “Because deep down, everyone wants to be planted and watered.”
“MXM Collection presents: Seed. Let it grow inside you.” Fans chant for “SEED! SEED! SEED!” MXM TV says again, “Let it grow inside you. Seeeeed~!” Well, okay. Will anyone care to buy MXM TV’s Seed?

“…to a wild frontier. Where those who fight with honor can strike it rich. Thought fighting without can be a means to an end. This land has been ruled with an iron fist, but change is in the air. While tales of honor spread far and wide, one story has been told more than most. That of the legend, and legend in the making. Then there is the outlaw with a heart of gold, and gold around his waist, who returned for what he never lost, and found he is still The Most Wanted.

Backstage interview with Red Velvet.
Lexy Nair is with The Chef, and notes that earlier this week, news broke that Velvet is not cleared to compete due to injury. With that, there will be an Interim ROH Women’s World TV Champion crowned tonight, so what are her feelings on that? Velvet says Supercard of Honor was supposed to be another night where she showed everyone exactly why she IS the ROH Women’s World TV Champion. But life had other plans. She is injured, can’t compete tonight, but trust her, no one is more frustrated than her. She was supposed to prove to everybody that her reign wasn’t just built on moments, but on grit.
And yes, with all that said, a new interim champion will be crowned. Whoever that is, they better wear the belt with pride, with honor. But don’t get it twisted: Your countdown to losing that title to Velvet has only just begun. Velvet will watch this match very closely. In fact, she’ll do it from ringside! The Chef heads out, who will get cooking in her place?
Interim ROH Women’s World Television Championship Fatal 4 Way: Persephone VS Yuka Sakazaki VS Miyu Yamashita VS Mina Shirakawa!
It is a worldwide wild card match as we see The Goddess of Lucha, the Wrestling Magical Girl, The Pink Striker and the Fighting Gravure Idol battle it out! As Velvet said, this interim champion will be on borrowed time, who steps into The Chef’s shoes?
