It’s the Royal Rumble Kickoff Show!
Join Jackie Redmond, Booker T, Wade Barrett and Peter Rosenberg in discussing, analyzing and predicting all of the action tonight!
Backstage interview with Rhea Ripley.
Kayla Braxton walks up to the Women’s World Champion as she is “very deep in thought.” Kayla asks if it’s okay to talk for a second. Rhea says, “Only if it’s for a second.” Kayla says Rhea is watching the ring, what’s going through her mind. Just looking at it, remembering last year when she won it. And wondering who is gonna pull it off this year. Which woman is gonna win the 2024 Royal Rumble match? And, who are they gonna challenge? Because if they choose Mami, they’re just throwing away their golden ticket to WrestleMania. But Rhea wouldn’t put it past them.
Kayla notes Rhea won from number one, so any advice to who ended up number one tonight? Rhea laughs and says, “Good luck, because there’s only ever been one woman to accomplish that, and that’s me. And it’s gonna stay that way.” But Kayla’s been here long enough, time to leave. Kayla agrees and hurries away. Will the winner of the Rumble choose to press their luck by choosing the Women’s World Champion?
Backstage interview with Paul Heyman.
Byron Saxton is with The Wise Man as he holds onto Roman Reigns’ Universal Championship, and Byron says that tonight, Roman Reigns has his back against the wall in this Fatal 4 Way. What kind of mindset is Roman in knowing he could lose the championship without actually losing the match? Heyman says that’s a good question but it’s also only a half-truth. Byron’s better than that. Tell the truth. Welcome to the final night of Roman’s reign. That’s how the WWE wants it, right? WWE doesn’t have a system set up anymore for a champion that last three and a half YEARS! They don’t have a system to promote a dynasty anymore!
WWE doesn’t want the New York Yankees, the Boston Celtics, the LA Lakers or the Dallas Cowboys! They want a champ in, a champ out, and a new replica title while we’re at it! That’s the new system, isn’t it? It isn’t designed for Roman Reigns! For Roman to be a champ going on four years! That is why “this villainous James Bond,” Nick Aldis has put Roman Reigns in this Fatal 4! This practically guarantees Roman loses! Keyword: practically. The last time Roman was put in a situation like this, it was across the bay. And what’d he do then? He stacked Daniel Bryan and Edge, pinned them both.
Now Heyman is not suggesting tonight, Randy Orton, LA Knight and AJ Styles get stacked. But he’s not suggesting they won’t, either. Because in the end, Roman defies the odds. Roman goes past three and a half, heads towards four, and heads to WrestleMania 40 as not only Your Tribal Chief but as reigning! Defending! Undisputed! WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion! And while the panel can sit there and offer predictions, this, ladies, gentlemen and Byron Saxton, is what they call… a spoiler. Heyman heads out, but will his “spoiler” be what gets spoiled by a contender?
Peter Rosenberg takes us on a tour of backstage.
Peter Rosenberg walks over and Grayson Waller & Austin Theory mockingly call him “Sam Roberts.” Wow, nice haircut. Peter corrects them but says it’s okay, he likes them. Theory’s going into his third Rumble, how is he feeling? How is he feeling? He’s Austin Theory! He’s a veteran of the Rumble now. Then has he imparted wisdom on Waller? Yes, and they’re gonna do something special. Something that hasn’t been down in roughly 20 years! Two men are going to win the Rumble, and those men will be Waller & Theory. They don’t care who it is, whether it’s CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Drew McIntyre, or Austin-
No, wait! Waller would never throw Austin out. A-Town Down Under for life! Peter says okay and he heads further along. He’s going along the path to gorilla, and oh, there’s CM Punk! Punk, please wait there, Peter will be right with you! But first, it’s R-Truth! Why is he in the batting cage? Truth says sup, dawg! This is a whole different set of balls. He wants to reenter for a new number. These don’t open like those balls last night. Truth, these are MLB baseballs. What? No, Truth doesn’t play baseball. The Rumble lottery had balls that pop open to get a number. Well, okay. You keep at it, Truth. Judgment Day 4 Life. Gesundheit.
Peter heads out and very exciting for him now. Chicago’s own CM Punk! Punk thanks Peter and he was just Facetiming Larry. Larry misses Punk. Peter points out ten years ago, the last time Punk was in a WWE match, it was the Rumble. Did he ever imagine being back here? No, but that’s the great thing about life and about the WWE. It isn’t the same old Punk, in that he is a bit older. But he’s still the Best in the World. Any nerves? He seems calm. Oh, he is calm, but if he said there were no nerves, he’d be lying. He left because things no longer made him nervous and he needed to fix that. So he is nervous, but he’ll make those butterflies fly in formation.
Then welcome back. Punk appreciates it. They shake hands, and Peter continues through gorilla to get on the runway, and boom, the curtain. The portal to glory! Peter walks out on stage to see the fans and this reminds him so much of the time John Cena came back at spot number 30 and won it all. Can the panel hear him? Booker confirms, they can. Peter says Booker should’ve made his return this year so that he could go on this shorter ramp and not blow himself up before sliding into the ring. Ha ha. But Booker admits, that’s a good point. Peter says hi to the fans, they cheer as we’re nine minutes away from the main show.
St. Pete is ready for history to happen, but there’s still plenty of kickoff show so stick around!
Backstage interview with Triple H.
Kayla says it is intense already, but what is special about the Royal Rumble? What is special about tonight? HHH says it is the fact it begins the road to WrestleMania, and perhaps the biggest WrestleMania of all time this year! 30 men, 30 women, pour their hearts and souls into that ring all for one thing, and that is to live the dream of main eventing WrestleMania 40! That road starts here. On top of that, there are already 40 THOUSAND PLUS screaming maniacs about to blow the roof off of Tropicana Field. So what’s special about tonight? Everything! It all begins here. And like the man said, if you’re gonna come and you wanna rumble, you better be ready.
So then HHH will answer the question with a question of his own: “Are you ready?” Fans fire up but he says, no no, ARE! YOU! READY?!? The Game has set the tone, who will answer by winning it all?
“This place is special.”
Hulk Hogan tells us that he spent most of his life around St. Pete, Clearwater, Florida. “Beautiful to look at, rich with wrestling history. It shaped some of the best. So if you’re gonna waltz down here and kick the hornet’s nest, then you better be ready. And not just any ‘ready.’ Rumble Ready.” Everyone works out to the max, until they’re sweating and panting. Hogan knows what it takes to win, and he also knows that “nights like tonight are when names are made, legacies primed, and tickets punched. Unfortunately for a few, you gotta go through him.” The Fatal 4 Way looms, and everyone loves a prize fight!
“WWE Universe, let ’em hear ya, brother! Clear a path! Because the Royal Rumble is here! Whatcha gonna do when the Royal Rumble runs wild on you!?”
Pat McAfee is here!
Corey Graves is upset but the fans love that Pat is back! He is going to be special guest commentator for the night and Michael Cole is ready to have some fun right alongside him!

Winner: Cody Rhodes, at number 15 (2024 Men’s Royal Rumble winner)
And for the first time in over 25 YEARS, someone goes back to back in the Royal Rumble! Cody points to the sign, the pyro goes off, and The American Nightmare’s story still has a chance! Will he finish it once and for all at WrestleMania? Or will The Tribal Chief have something to say about that?
My Thoughts:
What an awesome Royal Rumble! And that’s even with two different flavors of “Heels surviving” finishes tonight. The US Championship going on before the Universal Championship was quite the surprise, and I would’ve thought the go-home math was in Kevin’s favor. Granted, Kevin gets to stand tall and they could easily make a rematch for WrestleMania, but I didn’t think Logan was gonna be go-home-math proof. As for Roman Reigns, of course the Fatal 4 Way ends up a less than perfect idea from Aldis. The challengers each got to hit their finishers on Roman, only for someone else to break it up, and of course Solo still had to get involved because Roman always needs his henchmen. If nothing else, Orton and Solo are going to have a great feud from here on out.
Great interviews in the kickoff show, and of course Heyman delivers another great promo. To be fair, Heyman is always a great promo. Anyway, great opening with the Women’s Rumble, great returns and even some surprises. These last few years, WWE seems to be working on a working relationship with TNA Impact, given how Jordynne Grace was here, following in Mickie James’ footsteps of being a Knockouts Champion that gets to be on a WWE program. Jade Cargill finally debuting was also great, and she got the honor of eliminating Nia after Nia looked near unstoppable. Jade and Nia is definitely a feud to go with going towards at least Elimination Chamber, maybe even having them both in the Chamber itself.
Bayley winning despite DMG CTRL getting eliminated was a great surprise in itself, as I thought this was Becky’s Rumble to win. Perhaps Becky is going to take the long route, winning the Chamber to be the new #1 contender to Rhea while DMG CTRL’s story plays out. Bayley will surely end up kicked out of the group and then turn her eyes on Iyo’s title. And awesome stuff in the Men’s Rumble. I wish they did more with Jey and Jimmy given how those two opened together, but maybe they wanna hold off on Uso VS Uso for a little longer. And I guess there was no good idea for another Kofi save, since Gunther just gets rid of him.
But we also got great stuff like Andrade’s return, though I hope he and Santos don’t stay at odds, that’s a great combo right there. Great return for Sami, luckily his knee wasn’t that badly damaged (assuming that injury was real at all and not just a way to give him time off). Good return for Ricochet, though it wasn’t like he was going to win either. And yeah, Omos returned. Omos might’ve been a sub for Lesnar since we can’t have Lesnar around right now during the newest round of the sex scandal stuff. But also it made it hilarious when Pat was to enter but he decided to bail because Omos was there. And good stuff with Melo and Bron representing NXT, and great stuff of Gunther and Cody revisiting last year.
Cody and Punk being the last two was a great move. It really made things exciting and unpredictable there, and as such, I actually did not think Cody would win given it was Punk in there with him. Cody gets to go back to back like HBK and Stone Cold, Cody points to Roman, Roman gets mad, that is obviously the match now. This could be a sign that HHH is changing up plans. Maybe Roman isn’t going to break Hogan’s record-setting reign, the number two longest reign of all time, because c’mon, how sad would it be to make Cody lose two years in a row? Cody has to win at WM40 to make WM40 feel like the biggest Mania ever, just as HHH promised.
My Score: 9.2/10

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.

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!

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.

Gacy survives and the fans again declare, “This is Awesome!” Dawkins and Gacy stir, Ford stands and runs in, but Gacy TOSSES him! Dawkins ROCKS Gacy! Gacy tumbles out, Lumis runs in, but Dawkins dodges to SKY HIGH! Tag to Ford, Ford goes up, FROM THE HEAVENS! But he can’t cover! Gacy distracts, Rowans drags Ford out!
The fans boo but Dawkins runs up on Rowan! Dawkins POUNCES Big Red over the barriers! Ford hurries to a corner, GAMANGIRIS Lumis, then climbs again! But Gacy anchors Ford! Ford kicks free, and FROM THE HEAVENS to belly flop! Lumis tags Gacy, and they DRAG THE LAKE!! Cover, WYATTS WIN!
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!

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?
Well first, Dark Order CLOBBERS this new crop of pledges! The fans fire up as the Dark Order gest through about six guys to get at the three they want!

Winners: The Dark Order, by pinfall
Supercard of Honor truly is bigger in Texas, because Negative One is here! Will the legacy of the Dark Order never die?
#MXMTV is here!
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!

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. Tonight, we’re deep in the heart of Texas, so mount up. And welcome to the Lonestar State. Welcome to ROH Supercard of Honor!”

The Prodigy and El Inmortal have already met two times this year: NJPW Best of the Super Juniors; and Global Wars: Mexico. And in both occasions, Titan won out, earning this title opportunity.

Or will JetSpeed and the Hurt Syndicate have something to say about it?
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?
