PLAY BY PLAY
Grayson Waller w/ Austin Theory VS Cameron Grimes!
Last week, A-Town Down Under was standing up for Logan Paul (since no one else was gonna), and they couldn’t take a joke from the Carolina Caveman. Will Grimes feel that Grayson Waller Effect? Or will he cause a Cave-In in Cornhusker Country?
But wait! As Grimes makes his entrance, THE BLOODLINE attacks him!! Jimmy Uso & Solo Sikoa mug Grimes while Paul Heyman makes his way to the ring. Waller & Theory are laughing and enjoying this while fans boo and refs rush out. Security follows but Jimmy & Solo clobber them all! Producers and Nick Aldis storm out next, but this is clearly the Bloodline’s response to Roman Reigns being put in a Fatal 4 Way as punishment for his own actions. A-Town Down Under clears out of there for Heyman to take the ring. Heyman would appreciate it if the jeers were directed elsewhere. “We’re not the bad guys here.”
“The bad guy is that villainous James Bond wannabe right there, Nick Aldis. Nick Aldis put YOUR Tribal Chief in a Fatal 4 Way match at the Royal Rumble, where it’s practically guaranteed that the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship of the World will be lost by Roman… Reigns.” Aldis storms up to the ring while Heyman says that this doesn’t make Jimmy the bad guy, this doesn’t make Solo the bad guy, and it certainly doesn’t make Roman the bad guy, let alone Paul Heyman into the bad guy. The bad guy IS Aldis. Nick…! Aldis! Aldis snatches the mic!! Fans fire up while Heyman keeps Solo back.
Aldis tells Heyman, “First of all, disabuse yourself of the notion that this is a conversation between two equals, because it isn’t. The Fatal 4 Way match at the Royal Rumble? That’s a done deal. This is the second match in as many weeks that have been ruined by the Bloodline. It will not happen again. And the Bloodline, you can’t ruin the main event of tonight’s show, because tonight in Lincoln, Nebraska, The Bloodline are IN the main event of tonight’s show.” Fans like the sound of that! Lincoln, you’ve braved the cold, so tonight, you will get the Phenomenal AJ Styles teaming with L A Knight “YEAH!” and Randy Orton…
And they will be facing all THREE members of The Bloodline, Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso, and Roman… Reigns! Fans REALLY like the sound of that! Heyman is halfway between grinning and frowning, and he tries to take the mic back. Aldis holds on tight, so Heyman leans in. “You know as well as I know Roman Reigns is not here in Lincoln, Nebraska tonight.” Fans boo but Aldis says “Oh… You’re right! Roman Reigns has once again started something that he doesn’t seem to want to finish. So, the Bloodline, you have until the main event of tonight’s show to find a third man if you’d like. And if not, well then I guess it’s a 3-on-2 handicap match. Good luck, Mr. Heyman.”
It’s about to pop-off in Cornhusker Country! Will Jimmy & Solo suffer for the arrogance of their Tribal Chief? Or will they pull of a miracle of finding someone who doesn’t hate their guts?
The Bloodline regroups backstage.
Jimmy hopes Solo heard what just happened out there. Two against three because ain’t nobody teaming with them, Uce! They gotta find someone? Heyman says don’t worry, he let Roman know, he’s on hold. But don’t worry, there is a locker room full of people kissing up to Heyman, wanting to join the Bloodline. Relax, Heyman will find them somebody. Don’t worry. Jimmy says he IS worried, though! Solo, you worried? Solo is stoic as he says, “I never worry.” Will Solo start worrying if it still ends up 3v2 tonight?
Cruz Del Toro & Joaquin Wilde w/ Zelina Vega VS Angel Garza & Humberto Carrillo w/ Santos Escobar!
The new era of the Latino World Order has been marred by the arrogance and betrayal of the Emperor of Lucha Libre. But Santos says there is a natural order: the weak are consumed by the strong. The new era of Legado Del Fantasma is here, will they do to Cruz & Wilde what has already happened to Rey Mysterio? Or will Santos’ new familia let him down, too?
SmackDown returns and Santos has joined commentary. The LWO makes their entrance, La Muneca by their side. Santos claims they can’t call themselves LWO anymore. HIS team is LWO: Legado World Order! The teams start brawling, the bell rings, and Wilde dodges Humberto to clothesline Humberto and himself out of the ring! Cruz SHOTGUNS Garza down, and then he fires off hands. Cruz CHOPS Garza, Garza shoves back, but Cruz ducks ‘n’ dodges and RANAS! Fans fire up with Cruz as he talks trash on Garza. Cruz fires off on Garza in a corner, lets off to run in, but Garza pops him up. Cruz lands on the ropes to springboard MISSILE DROPKICK!
Garza scrambles but Cruz sends him out. Humberto returns but Cruz TOSSES him out! Wilde joins in and the fans fire up. LWO FLIES to take out Garza & Humberto! The fans fire up again and Santos admits, that wasn’t bad. But he taught them everything they know, just not everything he knows. Cruz puts Garza back in but Garza kicks low. Garza calls to Humberto, tags him in, and they mug Cruz. Humberto whips, follows, but Cruz arm-drags! And arm-drags again! Humberto fights up, tags Garza, and they whip Cruz. Humberto hurdles, Cruz ducks ‘n ‘dodges, but Garza holds the ropes open, sending Cruz to the floor!
Fans boo but Santos laughs as his former amigo flounders. Humberto sits Cruz on the apron for Garza to PENALTY KICK back down! Santos says nothing’s stopping his guys, and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and Cruz fires haymakers on Garza! Garza shoves, blocks a kick, then slips around to hook Cruz up in a Gory Especial! Tag to Humberto and he slingshots, GORY BOMB CUTTER! Then the Chancery to basement dropkick! Cover, TWO! Fans boo but Humberto stomps Cruz. Humberto swipes at Wilde but Wilde gets away, so Humberto goes back to chinlock Cruz. Cruz endures, fans rally up, and Vega coaches Cruz up. Cruz fights up to JAWBREAKER free! Hot tag to Garza and he drags Cruz back. Cruz hops up, slips out of the back suplex, and ducks under to hot tag Wilde!
Fans fire up as Wilde rallies on Garza! DROPKICK! Fans fire up more and Wilde fires off haymakers. Wilde whips, Garza reverses but Wilde ducks ‘n ‘dodges and goes up, around, and backslides! Garza rolls through but into a SOMERSAULT DDET! Cover, Humberto breaks it! Cruz whips, Humberto reverses and tosses Cruz out! Wilde dumps Humberto out! Wilde goes up the corner, but who is he aiming for? Garza trips him up, so it no longer matters! Santos enjoys seeing that as Garza CHOPS Wilde! Garza calls to Humberto, tags him in, and they both climb up. They DOUBLE ROCKET LAUCH Wilde!
Garza whips Cruz into steel steps! Humberto MOONSAULTS but lands through as Wilde moves! Humberto rebounds, sunset flips, and deadlifts to SPINNING BOMB!! Cover, TWO!! Wilde survives and even Santos has to admit, that’s impressive. The fans fire up, Humberto drags Wilde up and tags Garza. Humberto Electric Chair Lifts but Wilde POISON-RANAS free! Garza SUPERKICKS Wilde to a corner, runs in, but only gets POST! Humberto staggers his way over, but Cruz MISSILE DROPKICKS him down! Cruz then runs, goes up and up and ESCALARA TONRILLO!! Direct hit at the ramp and the fans are thunderous!
But wait, here comes Carlito! Santos was just waiting for this! He dares Carlito to come get him, but Carlito BLINDSLIDES him from the crowd!! Caribbean Cool beats up on Santos all over ringside, then TOSSES him over barriers! The brawl spills into the crowd and the fans love it! The teams are rather stunned by this, but then Wilde wheelbarrows Garza! Garza blocks, sits on the cover, and holds ropes!! LEGADO STEALS THE WIN!
Winners: Angel Garza & Humberto Carrillo, by pinfall
Even with Carlito being an ace up the sleeve, Garza & Carrillo run away with the victory! Will Santos’ new familia take down the LWO by any means necessary?
Nick Aldis meets with Carmelo Hayes.
Aldis says Melo impressed a lot of people during his run in the United States Championship Contender’s Tournament, including Aldis himself. Melo says blue does look good on him. But since he’s here, he’ll shoot his shot. The Royal Rumble is- Wait, A-Town Down Under interrupts, telling Aldis they need to talk. What is with these shenanigans? What kind of show is Aldis running here? Waller wins by forfeit, right? Right? Aldis says he was in the middle of something. Oh, what is Melo even doing here? Need more of the Waller rub? Melo asks Waller what he’s doing here. Melo’s beaten Waller so many times already.
Theory says it’s a fluke. Melo isn’t on Waller’s level. Oh, yeah, that’s true. Melo’s on the level above Waller. And Melo is getting real sick of Waller, so maybe they should run it back. Waller says he’d love to, but he just wrestled, he needs his cool down. But Theory is hungry tonight, he can do this. Aldis likes that idea. It is a done deal. Melo says it’ll be A-Town Down Bad tonight. Theory & Waller head out, cocky as ever, but will they feel rather deflated after facing… HIM?
The LWO regroups backstage.
They are upset about how things just went down with Legado, but then Heyman, apple in hand, says hey to Carlito. Heyman doesn’t want Carlito to think of this like Eve temping Adam with an apple or anything, but Carlito teaming with The Bloodline… That’s cool. Carlito chuckles and says yeah, Carlito is looking for a fight. But with Santos Escobar. But thanks for the apple. Heyman says that was supposed to be a package deal! Well, will this snake have to look elsewhere to find his naive target?
Logan Paul speaks.
Still sporting the black eye Kevin Owens gave him, the Maverick United States Champion tries to get Kevin’s attention on the tron. Logan “apologizes” for not being live tonight, but he never goes to Nebraska and he was busy. With his lawyers. Because this black eye isn’t just a black eye, it’s evidence. Turns out, that cast on Kevin’s hand is a liability. Not just for Logan but for their match. Because if Kevin thinks he can just stroll into the Royal Rumble with that cast- Or no, with that weapon, then Logan won’t just beat Kevin in the match but in the court of law. Logan will run Kevin’s pockets so deep, Kevin will forget he’s wearing pants.
Logan wants Kevin to consider this: Yes, Logan is ready for the fight, but is Kevin ready for a fair fight? Little cheater cheater, pumpkin eater. Because if Kevin is still wearing the cast by the time their match is up, consider the match cancelled. See you soon, KO. Hypocrisy aside, is the Prizefighter going to have no choice but to go into that fight with one hand metaphorically tied behind his back?
Tyler Bate meets Pete Dunne backstage.
They sit down in the lounge area, and while the Big Strong Boi has his chai latte with oat milk, he hands the Bruiserweight standard black coffee. Dunne thanks him, and they cheer. Just like old times, isn’t it? Bate thanks Dunne for the call, he knows Dunne’s been having a rough go of it. Dunne says he can handle things on his own, he just couldn’t have a tag match without a tag partner, y’know? Bate wants Dunne to just admit it already. Dunne had a smile when he saw the Big Strong Boi debuting on SmackDown. And he also has to admit that they had fun breaking Pretty Deadly’s fingers and kicking their heads in.
Bate knows Dunne, they’ve been friends for years. Dunne is trying to find himself, but Bate can help. Shut up, mate. Okay, okay, here’s an idea. They can work on some mindfulness techniques. Breathing exercises, meditation, yoga. Bate knows Dunne loves it. Dunne tells Bate to slow down. Don’t make him regret giving Bate the call. But yeah, it was a good laugh kicking Pretty Deadly’s heads in. But that was a one and done. The Brawling Brutes are also the past. They can each focus on themselves in the New Year, okay? Bate says this is their chance, though! They can finally show the world what British Strong Style is about! Unbelievable Tekkers!
Bate wants Dunne to remember, “Make a name for yourself.” Who told Dunne that? So look inward and ask yourself, “Who was that guy? What is that name going to be?” Well…? “Butch” opens his mouth, but what does he say?
Bianca Belair VS Bayley w/ Damage CTRL!
The EST wants to become the next WWE Women’s Champion, and she is still fighting her way through Iyo Sky’s team- Er, Bayley’s team, to get what she wants. But as such, will the “team leader” be the Role Model for DMG CTRL? Or will nothing stop Bianca from getting back to the gold?
SmackDown returns as Bayley makes her entrance, Asuka, Iyo, Kairi & Dakota following behind. Bianca says they just had to bring all five to handle her. The bell rings and the two circle while the fans rally for “E S T! E S T!” Bayley laughs at that, then ties up with Bianca. Bianca powers Bayley to a corner, Bayley turns things around and the ref counts,. Bianca powers Bayley all the way to the opposite corner! The ref counts, Bayley pulls hair to get out, then rolls Bianca up, TWO! Fans boo but Bayley says she almost had Bianca there. The two reset, circle again, and they tie up.

Bianca goes to a corner, Bayley clotheslines her down! The fans boo, Bayley whips corner to corner but Bianca reverses and reels Bayley in, SPINEBUSTER!
Fans fire up while both women are down! DMG CTRL rallies and cheers Bayley as she goes to ropes. Bianca stands, and she runs Bayley over! And runs her over again! And DROPKICKS! Then kips up! Then runs in at the corner to RAM into her! Bianca climbs up and she rains down fists! The fans count along, but Bayley trips Bianca at four! Bayley has Bianca in the ropes, to run and KNEE her out of the Tree of Woe! Then a cover, but the ref says they’re in the ropes! Bayley says she saw it, okay?

TWO, Bayley runs but Bianca follows, to SPEAR! Fans fire up and Bianca dares DMG CTRL to do something. Bianca then torture racks, to KISS OF DEATH!! Cover, Bianca wins!
Winner: Bianca Belair, by pinfall
DMG CTRL is stunned! Though, is that a smirk on Asuka’s face? Just what is going on within the group? Is Iyo Sky gonna have to handle Bianca herself now?
Kevin Owens speaks.
“Logan, buddy, I heard everything you had to say, unfortunately. Because I don’t really like hearing you talk at all. But I see what you’re doing, and I get it. Look, if you wanna call this a liability and an unfair advantage for me, this cast, you can do that. But we both know that’s not what it is. If this is an advantage for anyone, it’s you, because I have a broken. But unfortunately for you, it’s not going to keep me from being at the Royal Rumble. But again, after seeing your face, and that bruise, that black eye, everything, I understand what you’re trying to do, I get it.
“So how about this? I think we need to talk about this whole thing, the lawsuit, and whatever you’re threatening, let’s talk about it face to face. Next week, on SmackDown. Where you get to have the biggest honor of your miserable career: by being a guest on the Kevin Owens Show. What do you say? I hope to see you there. Never thought I’d say I hope to see Logan Paul…” The Prizefighter invites the ImPAULsive Influencer to his show, will they come to an agreement? Or just to blows?
DMG CTRL regroups backstage.
Iyo Sky complains in Japanese that Bayley messed this up. But then Bayley asks them what was going on out there. Dakota has Bayley go off to the side to explain that the ref was looking right at them. What were they supposed to do? Bayley just wanted a little help. Yeah, but they didn’t wanna cause a disqualification. Dakota just thought Bayley would be good to face Bianca on her own. This plan for DMG CTRL to have all the gold includes Bayley winning the Rumble on her own. Yeah, but Dakota knows they’re stronger together, right? Yes, but… Look, forget it. It’s done, let’s look ahead. Bayley’s got this! She’s still got the Rumble to win, okay? It’s all good.
But while Bayley was talking with Dakota, we can clearly see Iyo, Asuka & Kairi talking among themselves. What are the three joshi thinking as it pertains to Bayley as “leader” of DMG CTRL?
Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits are here!
And they’re skipping the suits and rolling up in style tonight! They have no suit jackets and they’ve rolled up their sleeves as they storm to the ring. The All Mighty gets the mic and paces around as he says, “AOP and Karrion Kross, last week, y’all tried to take us out. You thought jumping us from behind was gonna get you the upper hand? Oh, no, that just got you into a fight that you can’t win. See, because when we have an issue with somebody, we will confront them face to face, and we settle things. We don’t take the cowardice approach. We don’t go lurking in the darkness or hiding in the shadows. We walk down to this ring, we roll up our sleeves, we clench our fists, and we get ready to fight!” Fans like the sound of that!
Lashley tells Kross that if he and his boys wanna settle this issue with them, then come down here and they can all do it right here, right now! The lights go down, and then Paul Ellering is on stage! He then points to the tron, and a video plays. Kross says that for the last several years, his purpose has been to show the world just how corrupt it really is. Scarlett says he does that by breaking people, on the inside. But now they will just break people on the outside. Lashley is a lucky guy. For now he and his “embarrassing” Profits are at the top of the list. “To be deconstructed.” And who better than two of the most dangerous men this world has ever known?
Akam, Rezar, the Authors of Pain, and “the most sadistic and inhumane person this world has ever had the displeasure of knowing,” Paul Ellering. They are “The Final Testament.” The video ends with the words, “The End is Near.” Lashley & The Profits still stand their ground, but will they all be made to #FallAndPray?
Paul Heyman is stressing out.
The Wise Man seems to have come up empty on his promise. But then Pretty Deadly walk over and address “Lord Heyman,” that they have a proposition. Th-th-they… stammer a lot, but they get out that they are the best tag team on SmackDown, and heard Heyman was looking for people. They could be a team, “a fantastic shower of physical excellence,” all for Heyman. They’d make a great team for Heyman. They shoulder lean and Heyman hopes they realize that only one person teams with Jimmy & Solo against Styles, Knight & Orton. Oh, right, uh… Hmm… Elton “remembers” Kit has something to do, and Kit “remembers,” too.
That’s a real shame, if only this was last week. They acknowledge everything Heyman does, they bid him adieu, and hurry away. Heyman is so frustrated, almost in tears. Will Heyman find someone, anyone, to help Jimmy & Solo?
Lashley & The Profits return backstage.
They’re still looking for a fight, so Heyman walks over! Heyman says he and Bobby have known each other a long time, right? He is sorry about the treatment Lashley’s getting from Kross, but as a friend, please, Heyman wants to do Lashley a favor. Lashley can work out that frustration alongside Jimmy & Solo against the three “shmucks,” Styles, Knight & Orton. Lashley says yes, they have known each other a long time. But the only time Lashley wants to be in the ring with the Bloodline is when he’s standing across from Roman Reigns. Lashley & the Profits head out, and Heyman struck out again.
Carmelo Hayes VS Austin Theory w/ Grayson Waller!
Melo may not be the one facing Logan Paul for a title, but he’ll be damned before he lets A-Town Down Under try and look down on him. Melo may be going for tag titles with Trick Williams on NXT, but will he show he can go solo here tonight?
SmackDown returns and Theory makes his entrance, Waller by his side. The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, Theory puts Melo in a corner, but the ref counts. Theory talks trash, pie faces Melo, and he says he runs SmackDown. Melo frowns, and he headlocks and grinds the hold. Theory pries free, headlocks back, but Melo powers up and out. Fans rally behind Melo as he CHOPS Theory! Theory brushes that off, but Melo headlocks again. Theory lifts but Melo hits a flying takeover. Theory headscissors, Melo kips free, both men stare down for half a second, then tie up again.
Melo headlocks, Theory powers up and out. Melo ducks the lariat, hurdles and ducks, to then DROPKICK! Theory falls over and the fans fire up! Melo says Theory’s about to find out about HIM. Theory stays in the corner and the ref keeps Melo back. But then Theory cheap shots Melo and CLOBBERS him! Fans boo but Theory drags Melo up to scoop him, only for Melo to slip free. Theory bucks the O’Conner, goes out to the apron, but Melo BOOTS Theory as he rams in. Then FADE AWAY! Fans fire up while Theory flounders, and Melo SLINGSHOT APRON DDTS!! Melo is all fired up and so are the fans as SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and Theory has Melo in a chinlock. Melo throws body shots to get free, then JAWBREAKERS! Theory staggers to a corner, Melo runs up but Theory drop toeholds him into buckles! Theory then somersault SHOTGUNS Melo down! Waller taunts Melo as he bails out, but backs off so Theory can fetch Melo. Fans boo but Theory soaks up the heat. Theory puts Melo in the ring, high-fives Waller then hurries up. Theory brings Melo up, aims for the outside, but Melo fights the suplex! Theory throws body shots, tries again, but Melo fights the suplex again! Theory throws more hands, but Melo suplexes him using the ropes!
Fans fire up and Waller has no idea what to make of what he just saw. Melo goes to the corner and drags himself up. Theory runs in, Melo ELBOWS him away! Melo then wrenches, cravats, KNEE SMASH and then atomic drop! And a CHOP! Fans fire up as Melo haymakers and CHOPS on repeat! Melo ROCKS Theory, whips, but Theory reverses, only for the FLYING CLOTHESLINE to hit! The fans fire up, Melo tilt-o-whirls, LA MYSTICA! Cover, TWO! Theory survives but Melo keeps his cool. Melo sees Waller slide in but Waller bails out. Theory runs up, Melo punches him first, but Theory kicks low.
Theory whips, Melo arm-drags to a cover, TWO! Theory ghost pins, TWO! Melo bobs ‘n’ weaves but Theory ELBOWS him! Theory reels Melo in, Melo wrenches out to SUPERKICK! And FIRST- NO, Theory blocks the First 48 to put Melo up top! Melo throws hands, Theory keeps him on the top rope but Melo BOOTS him away! Fans rally for Melo but Theory come right back, ARABIAN PRESS FLY!! But that was a ROUGH landing for Theory! The ref checks both men, and the ref calls it here.
No Contest
Theory took himself out with that hard landing, perhaps trying too hard to prove himself worthy of bigger and better. Will Theory be alright to get back in the ring? Will Melo have to find another way to prove himself Rumble ready?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
After an exchange on social media, the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships are on the line as Kayden Carter & Katana Chance make their way to SmackDown to face Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn! Will the party be rolling even through #Hotlanta? Or will the Wicked Witches finally take those titles back? And speaking of championships, Roman Reigns will return so that he, AJ Styles, LA Knight and Randy Orton can all sign on the dotted line to make their Universal Championship Fatal 4 Way official! Will the Tribal Chief still be the Head of the Table with three men coming for his throne?
The Bloodline regroups.
Jimmy says he never doubted the Wise Man for a second! Who did Heyman get? Jimmy, Solo and…? Heyman says he interviewed every member of this locker room this evening, and there is not one man here worthy to stand beside The Bloodline! Auditions are over! No more! No more tryouts, no more people talking to Heyman. He has full faith in Jimmy & Solo! He is NOT worried! Jimmy says he IS! Solo steps over and says he’s not. The Enforcer looks ready to handle all three on his own, so Jimmy says if Solo ain’t worried, he ain’t worried! NO YEET! But will Solo & Jimmy have no chance when the numbers aren’t in their favor?
3v2 Handicap Match: AJ Styles, LA Knight & Randy Orton VS Jimmy Uso & Solo Sikoa!
But wait! Just as The Viper makes his entrance, Solo & Jimmy attack! They want to even things out their own way! SUPERKICK! SAMOAN SPIKE!! Fans boo as Orton sputters and refs rush out! Did The Bloodline just turn this into a 2v2? We’ll see, after the break.
SmackDown returns and it seems Orton is out of action for tonight. Even so, The Phenomenal One makes his entrance, followed by The Mega Star. The teams sort out, Styles and Knight arguing, so Jimmy CLOBBERS Knight! Styles fires off on Jimmy, but the ref stops him so Jimmy fires off on Knight. Jimmy UPPERCUTS Knight, whips him to ropes, but Knight turns things into a NECKBREAKER! Cover, ONE!! Knight brings Jimmy up, ROCKS him, then tags Styles. They double whip, double ELBOW, then Styles drags Jimmy around to bump him off buckles. The fans rally as Styles CHOPS Jimmy, then bumps him off more buckles.
Styles CHOPS, the fans cheer him on, and Styles tags Knight back in. They mug Jimmy, Knight fires haymakers then stomps and JABS on repeat. The fans chant “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” with every stomp! The ref counts, Knight lets off at 4, and he puts Jimmy in the ropes to CHOKE! The ref counts, Knight lets off to go side to side, and he STRADDLE ATTACKS, “YEAH!” Cover, TWO! Knight tags Styles, they mug Jimmy more, then Styles snapmares to run and SLIDING FOREARM! Cover, TWO! Styles and Jimmy stand, Jimmy UPPERCUTS! Styles wobbles, Jimmy CHOPS him down! Jimmy runs, into a DROPKICK!
Jimmy staggers up, and Styles clotheslines him up and out! Fans fire up as Jimmy slumps on the floor, but Solo gets in! The ref reprimands, Knight runs in, but solo catches him to a choke grip! But Styles & Knight both kick low, then JAB! CHOP! JAB! CHOP! “YEAH! WOO~!” echoes out as they fire off on Solo again and again! These two are working together on common enemies, and they DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE Solo up and out! Fans fire up for the Phenomenal Mega Stars as SmackDown goes to break!
SmackDown returns again and Solo clamps onto Styles with a shoulder claw! Styles endures, the fans rally up, and Knight coaches Styles up. Styles fights up, throws body shots and then haymakers. Styles runs, into an ELBOW! Styles flounders to an open corner, and Solo rains down fists! The ref counts, Solo lets off and he goes to the far corner. Solo runs back in, to HIP ATTACK! Fans boo more but Solo watches Styles flounder to ropes. Solo CHOKES Styles on the ropes, the ref counts, and Solo lets off. Styles flounders, Solo stalks him and CHOKES him on more ropes!

Knight storms over but Jimmy strikes a defensive stance. The ref has Knight back off and tells Jimmy to get on the corner. Solo tags Jimmy in, they split the wishbone on Styles!

Orton, Styles & Knight drag Solo over, and here’s a message to Roman! SHIELD TRIPLE BOMB through the table!!
The fans are thunderous as the Mega Star, Phenomenal One and Apex Predator all stand tall together! Meanwhile, Heyman makes a call to Roman Reigns. Will the Tribal Chief find a way to survive when the odds aren’t in his favor?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown here, great stuff from the Bloodline as always. Them “ruining” Grimes VS Waller was a pretty good way to respond to the Fatal 4 Way news, but kudos to Aldis standing his ground as GM and making the main event. Great promos from Heyman failing to find people to join Jimmy & Solo, but of course Solo & Jimmy go after Orton in hopes of keeping it to 2v2. But in the end, Orton makes the comeback at the right time and his team still wins out. Great ending brawl and the bomb through the desk. But the Fatal 4 really lends itself to Roman pitting the other three against each other, and he’ll definitely start dividing them as soon as next week’s contract signing.
Melo getting a match out of Waller & Theory bragging was a good move, but that Arabian Press going wrong was definitely NOT planned. Really bad timing for something like that to happen, A-Town Down Under was finally starting to blend. Maybe they’ll adjust and give us Grimes VS Waller “as intended” next week. Great tag match out of LWO and “Legado World Order,” with Santos on commentary really trying hard not to be happy watching. He’s clearly still great friends with Cruz & Wilde and just likes seeing them do well alongside Garza & Carrillo. Great addition of Carlito going after Santos, and we’re definitely getting a Six Man Tag from this.
Speaking of Six Man Tag matches, really good promos from Lashley and from Kross to hype up their trios going head to head soon. I also really like Lashley telling Heyman that he wants to take on The Bloodline, that can be a great faction feud on like the other side of WrestleMania or something. As for Kross’ faction being named “The Final Testament,” that is a fitting name given all this apocalyptic theming that also ties into the “All Mighty” and “Profits/Prophets” religious theming. Pretty sure Final Testament wins the first round because AOP is on their return push, but there might also be the split of 2v2 AOP VS Profits and 1v1 Kross VS Lashley that really determines who gets ahead in title match races.
Bianca Belair is definitely getting the title shot after that great match with Bayley. And a great detail of the DMG CTRL dysfunction in how, for being Heels, DMG CTRL chose not to behave like Heels so as to gaslight Bayley and cost her that match. Dakota being the intermediary between Bayley and the rest of the team, this is all adding fuel to the fire of DMG CTRL kicking Bayley out, putting all the blame on Bayley and making her feel like the weak link. If Charlotte wasn’t hurt, I’d think she and Bayley then end up allies being that they’re the NXT Horsewomen and all that, but Bayley will probably end up all alone right now because Charlotte’s hurt. And Sasha Banks is asking for a lot of bank to get her to come back, so don’t count on that return any time soon.
My Score: 8.8/10

As Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway make their way out, #BigStoke has a mic and he has them cut the music. Stokely has some good news and some bad news.

Okada is on Briscoe with another DDT! Cover, TWO! Briscoe toughs it out and Okada is annoyed. Okada stalks Briscoe to a corner, but Briscoe kicks low!

Another message sent to not just Kenny Omega but to anyone who would dare defy them. Will Okada go from Continental Champion to Unified Champion after going All In?
MJF w/ The Hurt Syndicate VS Mistico!
The Scumbag only ever does or uses something when it benefits him, and being extremely patriotic for the United States only seems to happen when he wants to stick it to someone not from the United States. MJF waves Ol’ Glory while he, MVP, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin walk down to the ring, but will he have to wave the white flag of surrender here tonight? Or will MJF somehow screw over the arguably greatest and most beloved man in CMLL?
In fact, to counter MJF being an American idiot, Mistico takes off his Sin Cara mask to reveal the colors of Mexico’s flag and therefore the colors of his people. He also has Me Muero as his theme, and the fans all know that one! The bell rings and the two circle while the fans rally behind Mistico. The two tie up, MJF SHOVES Mistico away, and then MJF soaks up the heat. MJF mockingly claps and then says up theirs! MVP tells MJF to worry about Mistico, not the fans. The fans tell MJF off and MJF tells them to shut up. MJF and Mistico tie up, Mistico SHOVES MJF, and Mistico eggs MJF on! MJF gets up, he and Mistico circle again, and they tie up. MJF kicks low and grins.
MJF brings Mistico around to headlock but Mistico fires body shots. Mistico powers up and out, then CHOPS! Mistico winds up and the fans rally, and he knuckle locks before he CHOPS again! Mistico goes up, up, and he tightrope walks to FLYING ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Mistico then hits a CODE RED! Cover, TWO! MJF bails out but Mistico builds speed! Mistico handsprings to fake MJF out! MJF thinks he’s smooth for running away, but then MVP tells him to focus on Mistico, not on the fans. MJF says he knows, and he eggs on Mistico. Mistico runs out there to chase MJF, but then the Hurt Syndicate stands in the way!
The fans boo, Mistico wags his finger, and he tells them to part. MJF runs up to ROCK Mistico first! The fans boo but MJF high-fives his guys. MJF says, “Easy! Too easy!” MJF puts Mistico in the ring, smirks while the fans call him more names. MJF swivels his hips, then runs up, but Mistico dodges the knee drop! Mistico runs up to RANA! The fans fire up and Mistico has MJF in a corner. MJF wants mercy, but Mistico says nope! Mistico runs up, but MJF YANKS him into buckles! MJF stomps away on Mistico, then goes to the other end to stand on the corner. MJF soaks up heat as he does the Pledge of Allegiance!
The fans boo, and MVP again reprimands MJF, he needs to be about business, not about trolling! MJF goes back to Mistico, drags him up, and he brings Mistico around, but Mistico JAWBREAKERS! Mistico runs, hops on, but MJF stops Code Red to reel Mistico in! POWER BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Mistico survives, MVP says this is still fine, and Grand Slam goes picture in picture. MJF sits Mistico up, and he pulls at the mask! MJF’s lucky this is an AEW based event, CMLL rules say this is tantamount to a disqualification! MJF rips at the eyehole, then clamps on a chinlock. MJF grinds Mistico down but Mistico endures.

Winners: The Death Riders, The Young Bucks & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
The Problem is always a factor, but this isn’t done as Yuta & The Bucks beat up on Joe! Then the Bucks SUPERKICK Swerve! Moxley has a SLEEPER on Swerve, then feeds him to the SUPERKICKS! Moxley puts the SLEEPER back on, but HERE COMES HANGMAN!! The Cowboy told us about the ringside ban, but also mentioned that once the match was over, it was fair game! Hangman storms out here, unintentionally saving Swerve, and he glares at Moxley. The fans fire up as Hangman throws off his jacket and rushes the ring! Moxley stands his ground, the two get face to face, and now go fist for fist! Yuta gets in but Hangman DECKS him!
Moxley kicks low! Moxley whips but Hangman goes to the apron! Moxley waits, Hangman slingshots, but then Moxley dodges! BUCKSHOT on Matt! Well, it did hit a Buck, and Nick asks wtf! Hangman says he told them, they stay out of his business or else! But now Moxley has the briefcase! Only for Hangman to spot him first. Moxley is frozen in place, and now The Opps & Ospreay get in the ring! The Maniac decides discretion is the better part of valor, and The Death Riders are in retreat. But there’s no running from what’s coming! 24 days remain before All In, will they be the last 24 days Moxley has as champion?
My Thoughts:
Awesome night for AEW’s first show in Mexico, even with things going about how I expected. For one, Mone of course won the title, because why else would they even do this match if not to give her one more belt? Though, what’s wild is that she picked up another belt without much hype or press from AEW. I guess European Wrestling Alliance hopes this gets them some attention. But good stuff with Toni Storm’s noir video and the sneak attack. And I would hope Toni retains the title at All In to keep Mone from going Ultimo Dragon just yet.
Cash Wheeler and Claudio Castagnoli both had travel issues, so I understand subbing people in. But did a 12 Man Tag really need to become a 14 Man Tag for it? And seeing as how I don’t cover CMLL’s own programming, I have NO idea why Atlantis Senior & Junior are getting booed. Is it a “Cena Wins LOL” situation where Junior is winning too much? That’s the only thing I can really think of offhand. But naturally, the Faces of that match won, as The Don Callis Family was rolling last week and needed humbling. I would think we still get Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher 2 now, and maybe Kyle wins the title so that the Don Callis Family has something.
Although, Callis seems to be bringing Okada into the fold for whatever reason, so he could end up bringing the “Unified” Continental & International Championship to the family. Okada VS Briscoe was great, and naturally Okada got the win. Mistico VS MJF was great stuff, up until MJF gave up and gave Mistico the win there. I know MJF loves getting heat, but him being the first man to snatch Mistico’s mask away like that is some HUGE heat. Also, I think I said it way back during some feud Penta had in AEW, but are masks really sacred if they’re willing to let them get ripped, stretched, and even yanked away? Or has that been lucha libre kayfabe all along? Either way, great stuff with JetSpeed and the other luchadores showing up, lots of matches set up with that.
Great Fatal 4 Way, and great win for Hologram to stay undefeated, but I will again criticize needing to do money prizes for these things. They should’ve set Hologram up for a title match twice over by now but TK is apparently making Hologram his top undefeated guy. Like if Goldberg was more than just big and strong and could actually do stuff… Also, while they obviously didn’t work together the entire time, I just feel like Ricochet having Lio Rush & Action Andretti become his crew (what with them being CRU and all) is the right move. Or perhaps this story of finding a faction is going to be an ongoing gag that no one likes Ricochet and would never follow him.
Then a great 10 Man Tag main event, though a little redundant considering Anarchy in the Arena was only a few weeks ago. Still good stuff for everybody, especially Mortos since he got to sub in for Claudio. Of course Marina gets involved so that the Heels win, but great stuff with Hangman going after Moxley. Hangman did a great job in his promo speaking Espanol to show respect to the fans. Naturally, Moxley gets away, that’s his whole thing. I really hope Ospreay, Swerve and The Opps keep the Death Riders and Bucks at bay so Hangman doesn’t get screwed over at All In. It’d be garbage if, after all this time and energy, it doesn’t pay off with Hangman as the triumphant hero.
My Score: 9/10
