The Bloodline arrives backstage.
The Wise Man, the Enforcer, and “Big Jim” Uso are in the building, and will surely elaborate on what The Final Boss did to the American Nightmare last Monday Night Raw in Chicago.
Randy Orton & Kevin Owens VS Pretty Deadly!
While the Viper and the Prizefighter are both going after Logan Paul and the United States Championship at WrestleMania, they’re more than happy to team together again if it means humbling Elton Prince & Kit Wilson. The two tasty dishes are friends to Austin Theory, and so that makes them distant friends to the Maverick. Will #RKKO make examples out of Pretty Deadly? Or will there be quite the shocking upset in the Mohegan Sun Arena?
The teams sort out and Kevin kicks Kit! The bell rings, Kevin fires off fists at the ropes, then whips. Kevin ELBOWS Kit down, SENTONS, then covers, TWO! Kevin drags Kit up, facelocks, and he tags in Randy! The fans fire up but Kit gets away to tag in Elton. Elton and Orton circle and the fans rally for “RANDY! RANDY!” Randy and Elton tie up, Orton puts Elton in the corner, and he throws body shots. Orton HEADBUTTS, then climbs up to rain down fists! The fans count along, Orton goes to nine, then whips Elton to the opposite corner. But Kit “tags” and shields Elton! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Orton DECKS Kit!
Elton TOSSES Orton out, and Kit POSTS Orton! Orton staggers back, Elton SMACKS Orton off the desk, then Elton gives Orton a DESK BACK SUPLEX! Orton writhes from tasting his own medicine and Pretty Deadly soak up the heat while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and Orton fights up from a chinlock. The fans rally up as Orton reaches out, but Kit brings him around. Orton powers up to hit a BIG back suplex! The fans fire up as both men crawl, hot tags to Elton and Kevin! The fans are thunderous as Kevin dodges, CHOPS then fires off forearms and haymakers! Kevin whips, Elton reverses but Kevin KICKS back! Then LARIATS! Elton staggers up, into an atomic drop! And DDT! Cover, TWO! Elton stays in this but the fans fire up as Kevin climbs! But Kit runs up! Kevin DECKS Kit, adjusts and SWANTONS onto knees! Double-edged but then Kit YANKS Orton down!
Orton ROCKS Kit, DECKS him, then brings him around! Orton SMACKS Kit off the desk, then clears it all off! The fans fire up but Elton CLUBS Orton first! The fans boo, Pretty Deadly mugs Orton, and LOGAN PAUL slides out from under the ring!! The fans boo as Logan BRASS KNUCKLE SUCKER PUNCHES Kevin!!! Cover, Pretty Deadly wins!!
Winners: Pretty Deadly, by pinfall
Logan helps his mutuals all because it’d screw his enemies! Orton can’t believe what happened, but he doesn’t realize it was all the ImPAULsive Influencer! The replay shows the evidence, and now The Viper is even angrier. But wait, Logan went to hide back under the ring… Orton makes his way out of the ring, and lifts the apron skirt! Found him! Orton throws hands on Logan! The fans fire up and Orton SMACKS Logan off barriers! Logan staggers over to the desk! Orton SMACKS Logan off the desk, rains down fists, then climbs up to join Logan! The fans fire up even more as Orton drags Logan up!
But then Pretty Deadly return to CLOBBER Orton! Logan’s friends make the save, then they put Orton in the ring. They haul Orton up but Kevin’s recovered! STUNNER for Elton! RKO for Kit! Orton and Kevin look at Logan, and Orton rushes out after him! Logan runs away into the crowd but he eggs Orton on. Orton pursues, they head for the stage area, but there’s Kevin! Logan panics and goes backstage, but his challengers pursue! Logan keeps talking trash because that’s what he does best, then he takes off in his Corvette! Logan won’t be able to just run away at WrestleMania, are his days as US Champion numbered?
Iyo Sky speaks.
“Bayley started Damage CTRL because she was lost. It was never about helping new talent. She saw an opportunity to latch onto us and get into the spotlight again. The only reason Bayley wanted us to succeed was so she could take the credit. She’s a narcissist who loves to claim she’s a victim. And now… You all feel sorry for her? Your hypocrisy disgusts me! However, I know Bayley played a role in me becoming champion. But! I made Bayley relevant! Dakota and I felt obligated to keep her around. But our patience wore thin. We got tired of her. We outgrew Bayley. So I did what needed to be done.
“There was a time when I saw Bayley as my friend. And I’ll regret that for the rest of my life. She’s an embarrassment and a tragedy to this company. I hope after WrestleMania, I never see her again.” Iyo stands up from her seat, but BAYELY CLOBBERS HER!! The Role Model and Evil Genius brawl, and Bayley THROWS a light at Iyo! Then throws lights ON Iyo! Bayley rains down fists, Iyo kicks her away, but then Bayley TACKLES Iyo through the backdrop! The film crew rushes in to stop the brawling but it is clear the bitterness between them has reached its peak! Will nothing stop Bayley from taking control back from Iyo?
Nick Aldis is in the ring.
The SmackDown General Manager says, “Ladies and gentlemen, we have a monumental piece of business to take care of, but before we do that, a quick question: Who’s ready for WrestleMania?” Mohegan Sun cheers and Aldis says he loves hearing that. So then, ever since he came aboard as SmackDown GM, he has had one singular, definitive goal: Make SmackDown the number one show in ALL of pro-wrestling, all for the fans, the WWE Universe. And Aldis firmly believes the acquisition of this superstar takes him one giant step closer to that goal. So please welcome the newest member of the SmackDown roster… JADE CARGILL!
The fans fire up as “A storm… is coming.” Jade makes her entrance under mist and spotlight before all the lights come back up. Jade high-fives fans as she makes her way down the ramp, and even signs a fan’s sign. She stands with Aldis in the ring and signs on the dotted line. Then Aldis hands over the mic so Jade can say, “Hell, if you asked me, Nick, it’s about damn time.” The fans cheer that! And since they finally put pen to paper, Jade wants to make herself crystal clear. “We have one of the best female rosters in the world!” Fans also cheer that! Jade adds, “But… they’re not Jade Cargill. They’re not the headline, they are not a once in a lifetime superstar!”
And Jade will give us “another weather update. The storm… has arrived!” Statuesque with a rock solid confidence, will nothing stop Cargill from carving a path through SmackDown?
Backstage interview with DMG CTRL.
Kayla Braxton is with Dakota Kai, Kairi Sane & Asuka to say it has already been an eventful night for the SmackDown Women’s Division. Iyo got attacked by Bayley and Jade Cargill is officially SmackDown- Dakota interrupts to ask, “Jade? Jade?! What has Jade done besides stand there? And Bayley? Bayley is going to be embarrassed next week, at WrestleMania, thanks to Iyo. But do you know what the best part of SmackDown’s gonna be tonight? It’s gonna be when I beat Bianca in the middle of that ring! She was not even a thought in our minds, and yet she decided to reinsert herself back into our business by helping Naomi.”
Dakota says Bianca went through two years of DMG CTRL beatdowns. She wants to call herself the strongest, the fastest, the roughest, the toughest, maybe if she were the smartest, she would’ve never gotten involved in DMG CTRL business. Dakota leads the way out, but will she be able to bring down the EST? Or will Bianca get even for Naomi?
Isla Dawn & Alba Fyre find Nick Aldis backstage.
The Unholy Union is rather… normal as they ask the SmackDown GM for some help. Isla wants to talk entrance graphics, music, etc. but Alba has her move her motormouth on. Aldis says they can talk later then. But then AJ Styles finds Aldis. Did Aldis make sure LA Knight won’t be here tonight? Like Aldis told Styles before, he asked Knight not to be here tonight. Styles says Aldis should’ve told him not to. The Phenomenal One storms off, will he have to worry about the Mega Star finding him in the Mohegan Sun?
Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship Ladder Match Qualifier: The Street Profits VS A-Town Down Under!
Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins punctuated their story with the Authors of Pain with a win, while Austin Theory & Grayson Waller managed to sneak one past the Good Brothers. But only one team is going to be in the Tag Team Six Pack Ladder Match, and we see Bobby Lashley & B-Fab with the Profits at gorilla. All week, they’ve been getting ready. Tonight, they cash in on those golden tickets! Grab your future with your own hands, then get those titles. They’ve even got champagne waiting! Ford & Dawkins secret handshake and head out. Will they handle business as we enter the homestretch to WrestleMania?
We get a shot of the Judgment Day backstage watching this, certainly scouting both teams. Ford starts against Waller and the bell rings. Waller kicks low, headlocks, but Ford wrenches and headlocks. Waller powers out, Ford grabs ropes to stop himself. Ford ELBOWS Waller away, but Theory anchors Ford! Waller LCUBS Ford, then throws hands. Tag to Theory, and Waller reels Ford in. Theory helps out to double suplex, but Ford lands out! Tag to Dawkins, but Ford still ROCKS Theory! Waller JABS Ford! Waller builds speed, slides, but Ford dodges and Dawkins runs in to POUNCE! Waller ends up on Corey Graves’ lap!
The fans are thunderous and the Profits are up while SmackDown goes to break!
SmackDown returns as Waller has a cravat on Dawkins. Dawkins endures the neck wrench, fights up as the fans rally, and Dawkins throws body shots. Waller throws knees then DECKS Dawkins! Waller goes up the corner, goes along the rope, but Dawkins stands! Waller leaps but into an EXPLODER! The fans fire up while both men are down! Dawkins and Waller crawl, hot tag to Theory! Theory drags Dawkins back, but Dawkins rolls and sends Theory away! Dawkins then dodges Theory, hot tag to Ford! Ford GAMANGIRIS Theory, then springboards in to FLYING ELBOW! Ford DECKS Waller, then CLOBBERS Theory!
Ford keeps moving, dodges Theory again to LARIAT! The fans fire up with Ford as he hits a BIG back suplex! Kip up, point at the sign, and STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Ford drags Theory over, tags Dawkins, and Dawkins Electric Chair Lifts! Ford climbs, for the BLOCKBUSTER DOOMSDAY! Cover, Waller breaks it! Waller drags Ford up to TOSS him out, but Dawkins DECKS Waller! Theory rolls Dawkins, TWO! Theory goes to the apron, Dawkins runs up but into a HOTSHOT! Theory somersaults n, into the SKY HIGH! Tag to Ford and the fans are thunderous! One more point at the sign, but OH NO! The Final Testament just wiped out Lashley & B-Fab!
Karrion Kross says this is good stuff, but it is very unprofessional to be drinking on the job, Bob. As for the Profits, Kross knows they’re busy, Mania is important, but you’re missing the party! Kross & Scarlett leave Lashley & B-Fab, and Dawkins is concerned. Ford says he can go help, then takes aim, FROM THE HEAVENS onto knees!! Theory covers, A-Town Down Under wins!!
Winners: A-Town Down Under, by pinfall (advance to WrestleMania)
The Final Testament didn’t even have to touch the Profits to mess them up! But then AOP CLOBBER them anyway!! The fans boo as Akam & Rezar mug Ford & Dawkins! LARIAT for Ford while Rezar CHOKES Dawkins against ropes! Kross then storms out here to join his soldiers. The fans boo harder as the AOP get the Profits up, for the SUPER COLLIDER!! Kross grins as he and his hellions have wrecked The All Mighty’s team all in one night. Wait! Lashley is storming his way out here! Kross tells AOP to stand down, and they let Lashley get in the ring. Lashley still CLOBBERS Kross! The AOP go after Lashley now!
The fans boo as Ellering and Scarlett coach their men on to mug Lashley. Then they set Lashley up for the KROSS HAMMER!! Kross wants Lashley to understand! Nobody goes to WrestleMania without Kross’ say! Lashley has failed! Is this the true ending of this story between these forces of nature?
Legado Del Fantasma heads to the ring.
While Angel Garza y Humberto Carrillo will be in action, this moment is going to be about Santos Escobar thanking Dominik Mysterio for his help last week! Is Dirty Dom somehow bridging the gap between Legado and Judgment Day? We’ll have to see, after the break.
SmackDown returns, Santos has a mic and he says he “hates to be that guy,” but he told you so~! And he wants us to remember and never, ever forget, especially the little kids with Rey Mysterio masks, that it was Santos who put Rey on the shelf for months! And Santos knows he didn’t get the amputation like he wanted, but he got the next best thing. Santos got to beat Rey in the center of this ring! Fans boo but Santos says Rey is the greatest luchador of all time. Or at least, he was. Santos says he outsmarted Rey! And all it took was one little phone call. One call to a man that despises Rey just as much as Santos does!
And with that, here comes Dominik! The fans boo as Dom struts his way to the ring and stands with Legado. Dom shakes everyone’s hand and then gets a mic. The fans boo even more but Santos tells them to shut up. Santos apologizes to Dom for them, then says from the bottom of his heart, thank you y gracias. And, an apology. Santos knows they didn’t see eye to eye at first, but now, he can say this to Dom’s face. “You were right.” They hug! The fans boo more as Dom starts to speak. Dom tells them all to shut up so he can speak! Santos adds to that, but the booing doesn’t stop. Dom huffs and puffs as they only get louder!
Dom says he will do everything in his power “to make that deadbeat’s life a living Hell!” See what you did, Rey? You always turn your back on everyone who loves you, and Santos will be damned if he lets a deadbeat, good-for-nothing father like Rey- REY IS HERE! The fans fire up as he and the Latino World Order is here! Zelina, Carlito, Cruz y Joaquin all head to the ring, and the five of them stand across from Dom y Legado. Rey has a mic of his own to tell Dom, “What a shame. A real shame. I truly believed that I was done fighting you, son.” The fans chant for the “L W O! L W O!” and that annoys Santos.
Rey says now that Santos has dragged Dom into this and Dom wants to be a part of it, Rey realized that this moment, both of them in front of him, the two men he despise the most, is truly divine intervention. And here’s why: Rey now has the opportunity to beat some respect into both of them! The fans cheer and Rey will put out this challenge: Dom y Santos VS Rey and a partner of his choosing! The fans like the sound of that! The fans also hope it’s Carlito. Rey adds on that it’ll be at WRESTLEMANIA! Dom asks, “Which one of these dorks is gonna be the one? The one from the Lollipop Guild? The one with the hair? Or the non-Latino?”
Uh, it’s the newest member of the LWO, actually. DRAGON LEE!! The fans are thunderous as The Boy Wonder makes his return to SmackDown! Santos and Dom both sigh that Rey once again picks his surrogate son. Legado turns to go, but then Lopez and Zelina get into it. Lopez tells Zelina she’s just “a puny little troll,” so Zelina SLAPS her for it! Dragon steps in to stop the fight but Santos BOOTS Dragon down! So Rey DECKS Santos! Dom DECKS Rey! Carlito DECKS Dom! The rest of the teams fight now! LWO TOSS Legado to then ENZIGIRI them off the apron! But Lopez and Zelina brawl on their way out!
Santos DECKS Cruz, DECKS Joaquin, and then he and Dom fight with Rey and Carlito! Rey TOSSES Santos, Dom DECKS Rey! Rey’s on ropes, dials it up, but Carlito TOSSES Dom out! Then Dragon Lee FLIES out onto them all!! The fans are thunderous as the LWO has already won the first round! Will Angel y Humberto be able to rebound in time for their WrestleMania qualifier?
Naomi finds Bianca Belair backstage.
Naomi says hi to BB and they hug. Naomi just wants to wish The EST well against Dakota. And if DMG CTRL tries something, Naomi has Bianca’s back like Bianca had hers. Bianca appreciates that. And after they talked last week, Bianca realized that she can’t be mad at Naomi for doing what Bianca was trying to do the past two years, and that’s take out DMG CTRL. But at this point, it isn’t even about Bayley. Naomi’s here, and if there’s any time to take DMG CTRL down, it’s now. Naomi gets that. They’re in this together, they’re getting DMG CTRL one way or another, and it starts with Dakota. They don’t want none!
Who’s the roughest? Bianca! Who’s the toughest? Bianca! Who’s the strongest? Bianca!! You gonna snatch ’em? Snatch ’em and drag ’em! Naomi shows off she’s got EST in her hair! Bianca is all fired up now! Will Bianca put Dakota in her place on the homestretch to WrestleMania?
Judgment Day talks backstage.
Dom hasn’t made it back yet and Rhea wants to know what is going on with him. WrestleMania is the biggest show of the year and they’re not communicating! Did any of the boys know Dom was gonna go out there? No, he never said a word. Wait, wait, Dom didn’t even tell Rhea about this? That’s odd. Is there something Rhea needs to tell them? Rhea isn’t sure but then Dom walks in. Rhea asks him what’s going on, and again reminds him that they just talked about communication. Dom tells Mami that he’s sorry, he just wanted to make the team proud and handle business. Finn asks if there’s anything else he needs to tell them.
Yeah, he needs to go see the doctor. JD knows where to go and leads the way. Priest says this Mania is way too important for not only them as a group, but also as individuals. Rhea asks if that’s something Priest is trying to tell her. Finn says hold on. The only thing that needs to be said is that the biggest WrestleMania ever will belong to the Judgment Day! That they can all agree on. But by “The Judgment Day,” will Dirty Dom still be part of the picture?
Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship Ladder Match Qualifier: New Catch Republic VS Legado del Fantasma!
Tyler Bate & Pete Dunne were so close to beating the Judgment Day when it was 2v2. And now they’re one step away from getting quite the wild second chance. Will the Big Strong Boi & Bruiserweight be heading to Philadelphia? Or will Angel y Humberto prove even beat up, they’ve got a fighting chance?
SmackDown returns and the match is already underway. Dunne runs in but Humberto dodges, so Dunne just BLASTS Angel! Dunne runs at Humberto again but Humberto puts him on the apron. Angel then SHOTGUNS Dunne off the apron! Angel drags Dunne up, puts him in, then drags him to tag in Humberto. They sit Dunne up, whip and LARIAT! Humberto fires up and he drags Dunne up for kicks. Humberto CLUBS Dunne, tags Angel back in, and Angel KNEES Dunne low! Judgment Day tunes in as Angel puts Dunne on ropes. Angel CHOPS, Dunne snarls as he sits down, and Angel soaks up the heat.
But Dunne gets Angel’s fingers! Dunne bends them, but Angel ROCKS Dunne with a right! Angel runs up but Dunne sidesteps to SNAP GERMAN! Hot tag to Bate! Bate CLOBBERS Angel, BLASTS Humberto, but Angel runs back up. Angel blocks a boot but not the KNEE, and Bate goes up to FLYING UPPERCUT! Humberto storms in but Bate catches him, EXPLODER! Bate kips up, STANDING SHOOTING STARS, then covers, TWO! Bate runs to BLAST Angel, then he dodges Humberto to tilt-o-whirl RANA! Legado regroups on the outside but Dunne STOMPS the hands off the apron! Then he BUZZSAWS Humberto!
Bate goes up and up and uses Dunne for the boost, CANNONBALL onto Legado! New Catch Republic stands tall and Mohegan Sun fires up as SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and Legado double whip Bate to then POP-UP, but Bate RANAS Angel! Bate then dodges Humberto, hot tag to Dunne! They dodge and GAMANGIRI Humberto, then work together, REBOUND LARIAT GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO!! Cover, TWO!! Dunne snarls, tags Bate back in, and they have Humberto in a corner for TOP BINS! Humberto staggers, Bate reels him in for a fireman’s carry. But Angel manages a tag as the AIRPLANE SPIN starts! Angel waits, and he SUPERKICKS Bate! Then he SHOTGUNS Dunne! Humberto steadies himself, he sunset flips and deadlifts Bate for a POWERBOMB!
Angel goes up to LIONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Bate stays in this and the fans rally up! Angel is frustrated but he tags Humberto back in. They get Bate up, SUPERKKICK for Bate and SUPERKICK for Dunne! Humberto CHOPS Bate to the corner, puts him up top, tag to Angel. Angel y Humberto both climb, both trophy lift, SUPER PRESS SLAM!! Angel hurries to cover, Dunne STOMPS it apart! Humberto runs in, Dunne dodges, SATELLITE DDT! Angel KNEES Dunne down! Then KNEE for Bate! Angel hauls Bate up and in, looks to the sign, but Bate slips free! Bop up, BANG! Tag to Dunne, and NCR hit the BIRMINGHAMMER!! Cover, NCR wins!
Winners: New Catch Republic, by pinfall (advance to WrestleMania)
And with that, our Six Pack is complete! Or perhaps it’s really a dirty dozen. But in the end, will Bate & Dunne make sure the Judgment Day is no longer undisputed?
Paul Heyman speaks.
“‘By orders of The Tribal Chief.’ When you hear those words, you know something is about to happen. What do you think happened to Cody Rhodes on Monday? The Final Boss took out Cody Rhodes. Why? By orders of The Tribal Chief.” Jimmy Uso adds that b these orders, Jey won’t make it to Mania. It will be lil’ bro VS lil’ big brother, Solo Sikoa! By order of The Tribal Chief. Solo tells Jey, “I’ll see you next week. I’m gonna miss you. But I gotta take you out. By orders of the Tribal Chief.” Will Main Event Jey’s Road to WrestleMania be stopped right at the goal line?
WWE honors National Medal of Honor Day.
Retired Navy SEAL, PO Mike Thornton, shares his story. Vietnam, October 1972, his unit was sent on a reconnaissance mission. They ended up in the wrong place, ended up in a three hour firefight, then had to retreat. His team captain got hit in the temple, but Thornton didn’t leave him behind. He saved the captain’s life, and earned his Medal of Honor. On behalf of the WWE and The Chairshot, thank you, PO Thornton for your service.
AJ Styles heads to the ring.
The Phenomenal One checked with Nick Aldis about LA Knight, and as far as anyone knows, Knight isn’t here tonight. What will Styles have to say about this grudge’s increasing intensity? We’ll find out, after the break.
SmackDown returns and Styles has a mic to say, “It’s been a little over a week…” He stops because fans are chanting “YEAH! YEAH!” Styles says these fans are the reason Knight came to Styles’ house and assaulted him in his own front yard! “YEAH!” Well yeah, Styles should’ve had Knight’s ass locked up in jail for what he did, and make him miss WrestleMania! But Styles has bigger plans! He wants the biggest spotlight possible for Knight, and that’s WrestleMania. “YEAH!” Styles says he will expose Knight for the “overachieving, under talented piece of trash that he is!” And yeah, Aldis asked Knight not to be here. But Styles guarantees that Knight’s here.
So, LA Knight, are you gonna walk out here from the ramp? Is this it? Then come on. Styles waits, daring Knight to show up. Knight could be anywhere! He could be up in the bleachers with the idiot fans, or even a camera man! Styles gets up in the cameraman’s face, slaps his hat off, but it isn’t Knight. Styles dares the guy to do something, then tells him to get out of the ring. At least he’s better looking than Knight, but that ain’t saying much. The fans boo but Styles asks if they’re disappointed. The fans start chanting for “L A KNIGHT! L A KNIGHT!” and then someone jumps the barriers! Security stops the guy and Styles says he knew it’d happen!
Wait, this is just some crazy guy who wanted to get near Styles! The security guards drag the rando away, and Styles asks if they’re done with the games. Knight, fi you can hear Styles, are we done here? Because Styles won’t be playing games at WrestleMania! Wait, the security guard who stared behind takes off hsi hat and takes off a wig! It’s LA Knight!! The Mega Star fires off on the Phenomenal One, gets him in the ring, and CLOBBERS him! Then he stomps a mudhole in, “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight runs corner to corner to KNEE WASH, “YEAH!” Knight then goes out to get himself a chair!
Knight gets in the ring, aims, but Styles runs away! No chair shot, and Styles even flees into the crowd! Knight leaves it at that, but he does get a mic. Knight gets on the desk as the fans are thundeorus, and Knight takes off the security shirt to show off the new merch. “AJ, you talk about I’m trash? You gotta be the biggest piece of human walkin’ waste I have ever seen!” “YEAH!” So Knight puts it like this: run, hide, do everything you need to. But at the end of the day, at WrestleMania, Knight is not gonna ask you, and he’s not gonna tell you, because you will KNOW whose game this is, with everybody saying, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!!” “You damn right, YEAH~!”
The grudge match has just kicked it up another notch! Will Knight win big on the Grandest Stage of Them All?
Tiffany Stratton speaks.
The Spoiled Rich Girl quotes Paris Hilton of all people in saying, “Some girls are born with glitter in their veins,” and says that Paris meant Tiffany. Everyone thinks life is so much easier when you’re an insane athlete, have a gorgeous complexion, have perfectly pearl white teeth and are a main event talent. But carrying the burden of perfection is not as easy as Tiff makes it look. To her adoring fans on SmackDown, she vows to always look hot and to spare your eyes from the uggos. But two words for you: lip filler. Everyone will find out exactly what #TiffyTime is all about. Tootles!
Bianca Belair VS Dakota Kai!
The EST knows this isn’t a rerun or a remake but a direct sequel to her two year saga with DMG CTRL. But then, does that mean Bianca will make it through to stand tall in the end like she has before? Or will #CobraKai add to Bianca’s lowlight reel instead?
SmackDown returns as Dakota makes her entrance, surprisingly without DMG CTRL. The bell rings and the two rush in! Bianca TACKLES Dakota, rains down fists, but Dakota turns things around to give those back! Bianca pushes Dakota away, TOSSES her across the way, then runs up to RAM her in the corner! Bianca brings Dakota around to TOSS her again! And then runs in, but into a BOOT! Dakota goes up and over to roll Bianca up, TWO! Dakota swings, but Bianca blocks, spins and suplexes! Bianca rolls through to suplex again! And then she rolls through to suplex again! The fans fire up but Dakota knees free!
Dakota is on the apron, Bianca runs up but Dakota dodges, then KNEES her into the POST! Bianca tumbles to the floor, Dakota talks smack, and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns once again as Dakota knocks Bianca down then covers, TWO! Dakota clamps on with a chinlock and she grinds Bianca down. Bianca endures, fights up, and she carries Dakota to RAM her into buckles! Bianca RAMS her again and again, gets free, but Dakota runs up. Bianca spins her around to suplex! Bianca keeps Dakota up to then SLAM her down! Dakota staggers around, Bianca kips up, and the fans fire up. Bianca runs in to RAM Dakota, then she climbs up the corner! The fans cheer as Bianca rains down fists! Bianca goes all the way to TEN! Then ELEVEN, but Dakota slips free to YANK the braid!
The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Bianca backflips free! Dakota runs, but into a tilt-o-whirl GUTBUSTER! Dakota staggers back up, runs up, Bianca sidesteps and just throws Dakota down! And around, and then down again! Bianca just ragdolls Dakota! Then she handsprings and MOONSAULTS, but Dakota moves! Bianca belly flops, and Dakota grabs the braid again! The ref reprimands, but Bianca uses the tug-o-war to handspring! Dakota dodges, runs in, but Bianca ELBOWS her back! Bianca then hurries to chicken wing! GlamEST SLAM! Then the handspring and MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO!
Dakota shows she’s got toughness, too, but Bianca keeps her cool. The fans rally, Bianca stalks Dakota, and Bianca chicken wings again! Lift and- NO, Dakota victory rolls to send Bianca into buckles! Dakota puts Bianca in the ropes, to then GUILLOTINE STOMP! Cover, TWO!! Bianca survives as the toughEST, and Dakota grows frustrated. Dakota waits on Bianca to rise, scuffs her with a kick, but the fans rally behind “E S T! E S T!” Dakota kicks Bianca around, taunts her, then kicks her again. Bianca snarls, blocks a kick, and she throws Dakota down! Bianca CLUBS Dakota, drags her up, then ROCKS her with a forearm!
Dakota gives a forearm back so Bianca throws another! The forearms go back and forth, harder and harder, and Dakota rebounds to ROCK Bianca! Bianca rebounds to DECK Dakota! Dakota gets up but Bianca fires more shots! Dakota shoves Bianca, Bianca blocks a boot but not the SCORPION KICK! Bianca staggers to a corner, Dakota goes Around the World! But Bianca dodges the boot! Bianca torture racks but Dakota holds ropes! Bianca puts Dakota on the apron, runs in, but she avoids the knee! Dakota’s knee hits POST! Dakota hobbles, and Bianca goes after her at the corner! They both throw clubbing shots but Bianca still climbs.
The fans rally and Bianca drags Dakota up to join her! Deadlift SUPERPLEX!! Both women are down and the fans fire up again! Both women slowly rise, and Bianca SPEARS outta nowhere! Then torture rack! KISS OF DEATH!! Cover, Bianca wins!
Winner: Bianca Belair, by pinfall
AND NOW DMG CTRL ATTACKS! Asuka & Kairi beat up on Bianca, even using an umbrella! But here comes Naomi! The fans fire up as Naomi dodges Asuka to THESZ PRESS Kairi! But then Asuka CLUBS Naomi! Naomi ROUNDHOUSES Asuka! Naomi gives Asuka some shots now! The fans fire up, but Kairi CLUBS Naomi with the umbrella!! Then SLIDING DOUBLE SHOT! Bianca is up and goes after Kairi! Bianca DECKS Kairi, DECKS Asuka, but Dakota is up! The numbers are in DMG CTRL’s favor as always! The fans hope Bayley can find her way out here, but instead, it’s JADE CARGILL!
The fans fire up as The Storm, in a new outfit, makes her way out. DMG CTRL don’t sweat her but maybe they should! Jade gets in the ring, and she BOOTS Asuka! And then she blocks Dakota’s boo to POP-UP POWERBOMB! Kairi jumps on but Jade throws her off, gets her around, and she gives Kairi her own GlamEST SLAM! “Cover,” and Jade gets her three count! The Storm just wiped out DMG CTRL all by herself! Naomi and Bianca stand side by side with Cargill, are they going to make DMG CTRL feel very jaded this WrestleMania season?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown, lots of great go-home type stuff with just one week left before WrestleMania. Great tag match for Orton & Kevin, even with Logan cheating them, but that adds to the US Championship match. Logan gets his shot on Kevin but then runs away from Orton, bit of a wash for the math, but as I’ve been saying, the nature of the Triple Threat can keep everyone strong no matter who wins. Still thinking Logan finds a way to retain by playing Orton and Kevin against each other, though. And good promo from Bloodline with Heyman helping Roman take credit for what The Rock did to Cody but also setting up Jey’s go-home match with Solo next week, which will be great stuff.
Great stuff with LWO and Legado, and I really like the seed that is being planted with Dom and Judgment Day. Could Dom be leaving Judgment Day to join Legado? The tag match will perhaps figure that out. Just Rey & Dragon VS Dom & Santos isn’t quite as big as I thought, but we’re definitely getting Zelina VS Lopez on the side. And I like that the uncertainty with Dom has again stirred up all the other uncertainties within Judgment Day. It’s kinda funny thinking Dom is the linchpin to that group. Anyway, great tag matches in the tag title story, and of course Final Testament is why Profits don’t win. That should also be a big grudge match set up for Mania, maybe they’ll put something together next Friday.
As for the teams that got in, I am pretty confident A-Town Down Under isn’t winning. There’s speculation that they could split the titles back to Raw and SmackDown belts with strange shenanigans, and I honestly wouldn’t mind that as it’s really tricky for these “undisputed” tag teams traveling between brands. New Catch Republic would therefore be the SmackDown winners and maybe Awesome Truth are the Raw winners to really make Judgment Day agonize in the Mania aftermath. Also, with Priest talking about individual success, him losing all his belts would definitely compel him to desperately cash-in on (I would assume) the World Heavyweight Championship one more time.
An odd thing tonight, though, was Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn not being spooky scary. I don’t want this to be a sign of them ditching gimmicks, but clearly it just wasn’t clicking on main roster after waiting a little too long to have them go after the tag titles and then basically being jobbed out anyway. But then great segue from their moment to Styles confronting Aldis and then calling out Knight. Great moment for LA Knight to run Styles off, but if he’s gonna win at Mania next week, Styles has to get Knight back next Friday to turn the math around.
And great stuff in the big DMG CTRL story. Bayley going after Iyo right at the end of her vignette promo was great, that doesn’t happen enough in WWE, or wrestling in general. And with Jade Cargill “signed” to SmackDown now, I really like that she’s joining Naomi and Bianca against the rest of DMG CTRL. That is going to be a great Six Woman Tag, certainly on the Mania card to make Jade’s first WWE match as big as possible, and I would think we’re gonna see Jade, Bianca & Naomi win. We might even get stereo GlamEST Slams, aka double Jaded, as the finish. And whether Bayley wins or loses, you can bet Jade is gonna go right to the women’s title scene.
My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring!
Schiavone welcomes out the Blue League’s current points leader, Kyle Fletcher, and of course… Don Callis. But they’re not alone as the rest of the Don Callis Family makes their way out to the ring. Wait, shouldn’t Brian Cage be in New York for Final Battle…? Well anyway, Schiavone says there’s a lot of gold and- Callis takes the mic, and he says, “I have something important to say.” The fans boo and Schiavone excuses himself as Callis says the Don Callis Family are the TRUE One Percenters of professional wrestling! They prove it each and every day!
Murder Machines: The most feared tag team in the world! “Don Callis’ favorite wrestler,” Kyle Fletcher, shows every day why he is THE One Percent! He beat Will Ospreay! He beat Kazuchika Okada! And now, he’s gonna beat Daniel Garcia and win the Continental Classic! Callis hands the mic over to Kyle and Kyle says it might be true that last Saturday wasn’t the best day for Kyle, but anyone watching that match saw the clear bias from the officials in this company! The fans boo as Kyle claims there is an agenda in AEW to see the Don Callis Family NOT succeed. But it doesn’t matter, it changes nothing!
Kyle WILL be the winner of the 2024 Continental Classic. That brings Kyle to Daniel Garcia. “You wanna talk about restoring the feeling, Daniel? I couldn’t care less about your feelings! All I speak are facts! And the fact is, I am the hottest young prospect in this industry, and I will be the future of this whole place!” The fans boo more but Callis says one last thing he wants to say, is when you’re the One Percent, you’re not like the other 99! They are not like all of these fans! They are not like “the boys in the back,” like Mark Davis & Will Hobbs, “a couple of scab workers!” They’re not even in the same business, Hobbs!
And Callis has waited to get Hobbs on a PPV so that the world could watch why they call Konosuke Takeshita “The Alpha.” And Hobbs, YOU are not in the same business as Konosuke, and you find that out at Worlds End! But speaking of, here comes the Powerhouse! Will he and Dunkzilla finish things with the Don Callis Family? Or will the AEW International and ROH World TV Champions get even for last week?
Konosuke Takeshita & Brian Cage w/ Don Callis VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs & Mark Davis!
The teams sort out and Konosuke starts against Hobbs to give the DC fans a preview of Worlds End. Hobbs and Konosuke step up, talk trash, and then the forearms go back and forth! The fans cheer for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” and Hobbs ROCKS Konosuke! Hobbs even shouts “MEAT!” before he whips Konosuke. Konosuke ducks ‘n’ dodges but then so does Hobbs! Hobbs SPINE- NO, Konosuke flails free and Hobbs says it was that close. Konosuke says to cool off while he paces on the outside. Konosuke steps back into the ring, but he tags to Cage. The fans stay fired up for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Cage and Hobbs circle.
Hobbs and Cage DOUBLE LARIAT! Neither man falls, so they DOUBLE LARIAT again! And again! And again! Cage kicks low, shouts, “Who Betta Than Cage?” But then Hobbs CLOBBERS him!

Cage BOOTS Davis down, covers, but Hobbs breaks it! Cage gets mad and the ref reprimands Hobbs, then Cage soaks up heat from DC. Cage stalks Davis to a corner and fires haymakers! The ref reprimands but Cage DECKS Davis! Cage soaks up more heat while he flexes.

Cage blocks, waistlocks, but Davis switches! BIG back suplex! The fans fire up as Davis rises and reaches out! Davis crawls, as does Cage, hot tags to Hobbs and Konosuke!

Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.
Renee Paquette is with the Babe with the Power who is in action later tonight. But first, Renee wants to congratulate Willow to making it to the finals of the inaugural International Women’s Cup. She heads off to Tokyo very soon, how is she feeling about it? Willow is very excited. Inaugural WrestleDynasty, one step closer to the inaugural International Women’s Cup winner, and so it is mind boggling after how- Kris Statlander steps in. Kris tells Willow that there is a lot she should say, but for now, she’ll say good luck at the Tokyo Dome. #BornAgainKristen takes Willow by surprise, will Willow win tonight and have momentum going to the New Year?
Lio Rush & Action Andretti VS Myles Hawkins & Goldy!
The dysfunction in Top Flight Airlines led to The Bad Child & The Sight to See winning over Darius & Dante Martin, meaning they’re next up to face Private Party. Will this be little more than a tune-up for Lio & Action?
The teams sort out, Lio starts against Myles, but then Lio handspring kicks Goldy off the apron! Myles back suplexes but Lio lands out and then dodges! Myles falls out of the ring, Action handspring kicks him down! Lio DIVES onto Goldy! Action DIVES onto Myles! The fans fire up as Action puts Myles in fast. Lio joins Action and they mug Myles.

Action runs up, Goldy dodges, but Lio LARIATS Goldy on the other side! Myles whips Lio but Lio hits RUSH HOUR! Action torture racks Myles for a NECKBREAKER! Lio covers, Lio & Action win!
Winners: Lio Rush & Action Andretti, by pinfall
Fast win for this furious duo, but “Oh my gosh, is that Private Party?” Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make their way out here and DC fires up! The AEW World Tag Team Champions call for “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” Lio & Action get their shot in the near future, but wait! Dante & Darius make their way out here? Private Party looks to the tunnels, but Lio & Action CLOBBER them from behind! Dante, Darius & Leila don’t worry about the champs, they stare Lio & Action down. Lio & Action hold up the belts, then throw them at the Martins. The refs keep this from getting any more physical, but will Lio & Action take those belts from Quen & Zay soon enough?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is now with the “multifaceted” Harley and notes she’s in action against Willow Nightingale tonight. Harley says yes, she IS multifaceted. She wants us to appreciate ALL her facets! Renee says yes, but she has yet to earn a singles win in AEW. Fine, ruin her fun. But then Harley asks if some person off camera is gonna say anything or just stand there. In steps Penelope Ford, and Mrs. Superbad says yes, she was simply observing. But Ford couldn’t help but notice that she and Harley share a lot of similar… facets. Harley asks how much Ford’s cost. Uh, no, not those…
Ford meant that she hasn’t had such a good 2024, either. So from The Bad Girl to the… Harley doesn’t have a good nickname yet. Well, don’t worry about it. Ford will watch Harley’s back and Harley will watch Ford’s. Wait, is something on Harley’s back? No, Harley… Just good luck. FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAMERON! No, she was being nice to you, Harley. Right, don’t feel the wrath of Harley Cameron. There is nothing on your back, Harley, stop scratching. Wait! W-What? Nothing, sorry. But will Harley be feeling Willow’s wrath instead?
Willow Nightingale VS Harley Cameron!
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two tie up. Harley pushes but Willow digs in her heels to SHOVE Harley down. Harley comes back, she and Willow reset and tie up again.

Willow bumps Harley off buckles, then fires LARIAT after LARIAT! The fans count al the way to TEN!
Willow brings Harley out with a smile, and scoop SLAMS her! Harley flounders, Willow storms up on her for another scoop and SLAM, right as Rampage goes picture in picture.

Holiday Bash returns and Willow CANNONBALLS, but Harley dodges! Willow hits only buckles and she hobbles after Harley. Harley kicks, KNEES, and ENZIGIRIS! Harley roars, runs, and SHINING WIZARDS! Cover, TWO! The fans fire up but Harley grows frustrated. The fans rally while Harley waistlocks, but Willow switches! Harley kicks free to switch back, but Willow ELBOWS Harley back! Willow fireman’s carries, storms around, but Harley pops up! Harley fires down elbows, then victory rolls, TWO! Willow escapes and ROCKS Harley! Fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO!
Harley survives but Willow roars! The fans fire up as the straps come down! Willow gut wrenches for the BABE WITH THE POWER BOMB!! Cover, Willow wins!
Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall
Willow faced the wrath of Harley Cameron and she prevailed! But then PENELOPE FORD goes after Willow! The fans boo but Ford did say she’d back Harley up. They both beat up on Willow, but here comes Kris! Kris Statlander storms the ring, Harley & Ford run away! Willow is again surprised, but the fans want these two to “Hug It Out! Hug It Out!” Kris says no, she doesn’t feel like it’s the right time. Kris lets Willow have the ring, is this proof that the #BornAgainKristen isn’t just a nickname?
Team Triple J speaks backstage.
Standing alongside Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, as well as Jeff & Karen Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt says, “They’ve asked us to look back and reflect on 2024, and Jeff, guys, what an incredible series of moments we’ve had in 2024.” The group agrees. From Wembley Stadium to Double J being in the Owen Hart Cup, some true career highlights that he will cherish forever. But Jarrett doesn’t like looking in the rearview mirror, he likes to look ahead. Next week, he’s not bringing resolutions, he’s bringing a game plan for 2025! What does the Last Outlaw have in store for himself and the team in the New Year?
AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Brody King VS Komander!
While the rest of Gold League stands at 6 points, these two men are struggling to keep up. Will the King of Death join that traffic jam at the front of the block? Or will the Commander of the Skies be a spoiler for Christmas?
The bell rings and we’re on the clock. Brody and Komander circle while the fans bark it up. There are fans who sing “OLE~ OLE OLE OLE~” for Komander as the two tie up. But then Brody picks Komande up with both hands, and puts him on the to rope. Brody pats Komander on the shoulder, and the fans bark more. Komander hops down, not intimidated by Brody’s size. Komander then dodges Brody, DROPKICKS him, but Brody CLOBBERS Komander on the return! Brody eggs Komander on and then scuffs him. Komander gets mad and CHOPS! Brody grins and eggs Komander on. Komander CHOPS, but Brody wants more!
Komander fires up to CHOP, but Brody CHOPS Komander down! The fans fire up and Brody grins. Komander sputters, Brody paces, and Brody drags Komander up. Brody CHOPS Komander again! Brody bumps Komander off buckles, CHOPS again, and Komander flounders away! Brody stalks Komander to the corner, CHOPS him again, and Komander falls over! Brody hauls Komander up, whips him, but Komander goes up and over! Komander ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Brody BACKDROPS Komander! The fans bark while Komander writhes, and Brody drags Komander up. But Komander fires body shots and a CHOP!
Brody KNEES low and Komander drops. Brody CHOPS Komander again! Brody asks, “Are you done?!” Brody whips Komander, but Komander ducks ‘n’ dodges to then springboard, but Brody catches Komander with ease! Brody pops Komander up, but Komander pops free, sunset flip, ONE!! Brody drags Komander up and CLUBS him! Komander wobbles, Brody ROCKS him again! Brody drags Komander off the ropes, suplexes, but Komander slips around! SLEEPER! Big men still have to breathe, but Brody RAMS Komander into the buckles! Brody swings, misses, and that bad hand hits post! Komander fires KICKS on the legs!
Komander bobs ‘n’ weaves, kicks, mule kicks and ENZIGIRIS! Brody wobbles and the fans rally up! Komander knuckle locks, CHOPS, and he goes up and up and jumps around! But Brody breaks the grip and DOUBLE CHOPS Komander to the floor! The fans bark it up and the ref checks Komander while Rampage goes picture in picture.
Brody storms out after Komander, who is somehow still in this. Brody drags Komander up, and he whips Komander hard into railing! Brody revels in the DC dogs barking, and Brody stands Komander up. Brody CHOPS Komander off his feet, then refreshes the ring count. Brody drags Komander up, and whips him hard into railing! So hard, in fact, that Komander goes up and over! Brody hurries to haul Komander back up, and he suplexes Komander to the floor! Komander writhes more while Brody refreshes the count again. Brody goes back to Komander, scuffs him, and brings him back up.
Komander KICKS Brody, CHOPS, but Brody CHOPS him down! Brody revels in the noise from DC while he stands on Komander’s neck! The ref reprimands, Brody steps off and rolls into the ring. Brody again refreshes the count so he can fetch Komander. Brody puts Komander in the ring, covers, TWO! Komander is still in this but Brody is more amused than anything.

Another direct hit and Komander feels so close to his first points in the C2!
Komander hurries to get in the ring, but then slides out to start a new ring count. Komander climbs again while Brody rises. Komander watches Brody slide in, then tightrope walks to CIELITO LINDO!! But that was on Brody’s back! Komander pushes Brody but that’s a lot of dead weight to push! Brody sits up but Komander KICKS him! Komander roars, the fans fire up, handspring- TORTURE RACK! Brody flips Komander around, GONZO BOMB!! Cover, Brody wins!!
Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Komander earns 0)
If it wasn’t clear before, this was a painful punctuation mark, Komander is mathematically ELIMINATED from the semifinals. However, Komander’s final C2 match is Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street against Claudio Castagnoli! Can Komander be the biggest spoiler of this entire tournament? Can Brody prove to everyone in the Gold League that the House Always Wins?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here for Holiday Bash, though some clear redundancies from last week’s Winter is Coming edition. We got another group Don Callis Promo, and we barely got anything different from Callis and Kyle. The tag match’s only changes were Cage switching in for Archer, even though Cage is in reality defending his ROH World TV Championship in the Hammerstein Ballroom for Final Battle, and then the Callis Family wins this time so Hobbs and Konosuke can be even going towards Worlds End. Now, Konosuke could very well retain the International Championship at Worlds End because NJPW is totally open to Konosuke Takeshita VS Shingo Takagi being Winner Takes All, AEW International and NEVER Openweight titles on the line together.
Lio & Action of course won their match, but the real purpose was to get a confrontation out of them, Private Party and OG Top Flight, Darius & Dante. Good stuff, and it teases anywhere between a Triple Threat to Lio & Action VS Darius & Dante Round 2. Very good promo from Triple J to set up for something, anything really, for 2025. Fight for the Fallen can even be the start of whatever that plan is as part of the “mother of all streams.” And good stuff with the women’s division tonight. Ford & Harley makes a natural duo now given their names, and Willow and Kris could possibly reunite now that Kris is a Face again. That wouldn’t really make up for the weird fumble in the middle where Tony Khan just wanted Kris to get away from Stokely, but hey, this story itself could be really well done.
And great stuff out of Brody VS Komander, really got the drama going before the end. I mean, we all knew Komander was out of the running before tonight, and was most certainly taking the loss here, but Komander got to really show some grit. And now, five people at 6 points going into the final round, they’re really adding great drama to Gold League. Collision tomorrow and then Dynamite Miracle on 34th Street will be some great stuff, but I still think Ospreay should be one of the semifinalists, the second spot can be whoever they want.
My Score: 8.8/10

Solo Sikoa is here!
The fans boo as the “Undisputed” Tribal Chief leads the Samoan Werewolf and Good Bad Guy to the ring. Roman Reigns put out the challenge for Tribal Combat, and on January 6th, in Los Angeles, for the first-ever Monday Night Raw on Netflix, it will happen! But first, Solo and his Bloodline go to the ring, and the fans chant “O T C! O T C!” Solo tells them all, “ACKNOWLEDGE ME.” The fans boo instead, as expected. Solo lets that slide, and he says, “Roman Reigns sat on his little boat with The Wise Man and decided to challenge me on January 6th to a Tribal Combat match for the ula fala on Monday Night Raw, the debut on Netflix.”
The fans “WHAT?” Solo says instead of saying that, the fans should ACKNOWLEDGE HIM. The fans boo more, but Solo says shut your mouths and listen to what THE Tribal Chief has to say! The fans continue to boo and they continue to chant, “O T C! O T C!” Solo tells Roman that if he wants Tribal Combat, if he wants to take THE Tribal Chief to war, then let’s do it! Solo will leave his Bloodline behind, “WHAT?” Roman will leave his behind, “WHAT?” They’ll leave the Wise Man behind. “WHAT?” Jimmy and Jey, too. So listen and listen carefully: On January 6th, Solo walks in and walks OUT as THE Tribal Chief!
The fans boo more but Solo says on January 6th, he will STILL be the Head of the Table! He will STILL be YOUR Tribal Chief! And he will STILL have the ula fala! So Roman, after Solo beats your ass in LA, Roman can go back out on his little boat, sail off to the Island of Irrelevancy, and Roman can finally ACKNOWLEDGE SOLO. But wait! Drew McIntyre is here!? The Scottish Terminator has already hit Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso and Sami Zayn, but let’s not forget Solo was chief among those who screwed McIntyre out of the world championship. Solo has Jacob Fatu & Tama Tonga stand down as McIntyre goes to the ring.
McIntyre grabs a mic but Solo tells him, “I gotta admit, I was very happy when you kicked my brother, Jimmy, in the face last week. Yes, I was very, very happy. But you better have a damn good reason why you’re interrupting me.” McIntyre says he’ll make it quick because it causes McIntyre physical pain to be this close to Solo and not beating Solo within an inch of his life. You like what McIntyre did to Jimmy? What about Sami and Jey? McIntyre wants to know, when Solo lies in bed at night, is he asking when McIntyre is coming after him? Because Solo is the one that cost McIntyre the title at Clash at the Castle.
Solo is the one who caused McIntyre’s family the pain and misery that caused him more pain and misery! But Solo also stood up to Roman Reigns. The only one to have the balls to stand up to Roman! The rest of them acted tough, acted like they were going to do something, but Roman snapped his fingers, didn’t change one bit. McIntyre’s heart says jump Solo, but McIntyre’s head says he and Solo have the same goal. So here’s what McIntyre is thinking: McIntyre can start working through the hit list, taking out more and more OG Bloodline members, and Solo does one thing for him: Take out Roman for good.
The fans boo but McIntyre says once all that business is finished, then he and Solo can settle theirs. But then JIMMY yanks McIntyre out of the ring! And CRACKS him with the crutch! And again! And then he runs up to CLOBBER McIntyre! McIntyre goes running into the crowd, Jimmy does his best to pursue, but now here comes LA Knight, Apollo Creed & Andrade! The Bloodline has a Six Man Tag on their hands, will Knight even let Solo make it to LA?

The sinister samurai made sure to strike from the shadows to screw over Knight, will Knight make sure Nakamura comes to regret it? As for Solo, he is rolling towards the Raw Netflix debut, will he not need his Bloodline to retain the ula fala?
Backstage interview with Motor City Machine Guns.
Byron Saxton is with Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin ahead of the emotional grudge match. Shelley takes on his former friend, student, and the man who betrayed MCMG to take those WWE Tag Team Championships. That man is Johnny Gargano, so what thoughts are flowing through Shelley’s mind? Shelley says it is one thought: Payback. Sabin says they’ve known Gargano almost 20 YEARS, and only now does Gargano let the mask fall away to show us the truth. Shelley says it cuts a lot deeper when it’s someone you considered a little brother. Shelley tells Johnny that he makes sure Gargano knows he made the BIGGEST mistake of his life.
Sabin asks Shelley if he’s ready to do this. Shelley says this is something he has to do alone. He wants to see if Gargano is man enough to do the same. Sabin says okay, let’s get warmed up. Shelley wants a 1v1 shootout with Johnny Wrestling, but will Gargano do anything but do this himself?
SmackDown shares footage from after Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Byron Saxton was with Chelsea Green & Piper Niven and said before anything else, congratulations. Chelsea pats herself on the back, Piper pats Chelsea a bit, too, and Byron takes her back through the closing moments. Unpretty-Her on Michin, the bell rings, and we hear Lilian Garcia say the words, “AND NEW Women’s United States Champion, Chelsea Green.” What went through her mind? Chelsea takes out her gum and puts it in “Bryan’s” hand, and then tells him that she always knew this would happen. He might be surprised, and that’s so cute, but she wasn’t. She’s been doing this for ten YEARS, and worked her entire life to be an overnight success.
This is Chelsea’s time! Red, white and Green! Say it with her, Bryan! #RedWhiteAndGreen. So then, let’s talk the historical significance. Chelsea will now go down in the history books as the FIRST-EVER Women’s US Champion, so how does she’s now synonymous with the likes of Harley Race, the first-ever Men’s US Champion? She would say, “Duh.” She’s in the books where she belongs. Probably should’ve been three years ago, but she was released. It should’ve been way back in 2015, but she wasn’t hired. So now is the time. NOW IS THE FREAKIN’ TIME!! Yes, it is her time. What does a Chelsea Green reign look like going forward?
Chelsea says it looks like she’s going to Disneyland, so she’s got a plane to catch. Can they wrap this up? Of course. Have fun in Disneyland. Yes, well-deserved. Piper calls for champagne. Will we never hear the end of this now that Chelsea has gold to go with the ego?
Kevin Owens speaks.
“What happened after Saturday Night’s Main Event was not my fault. There’s a lot of people to blame for it. Cody Rhodes, the referees, Nick Aldis, WWE Management, they’re all to blame. I was screwed out of winning that championship. What happened to me is a travesty, a tragedy! I should be standing here Undisputed WWE Champion, but I’m not. But I took this (the Winged Eagle belt) because I deserve it. And I’m not giving it back until I get what i want. Everyone needs to understand, you can only push a man so much until they snap. But the good news is, I haven’t snapped yet.
“It can all get so much worse, trust me. You don’t want me to snap. So Cody, Nick Aldis, WWE officials, what happens next is on all of you.” The Prizefighter has said his piece, will he hold the championship hostage until his demands are met?
DIY talks backstage.
Ciampa gets it, Gargano’s known MCMG a long time. So it surprises Ciampa that Shelley is so dumb! He wants this grudge match but he can’t win the tag titles back in a singles match. So what’s he doing? Gargano says Shelley wants his payback, that’s obvious. But Shelley wants to challenge Gargano’s manhood?! Gargano is all man! He made a kid! Yeah, Papa John, Daddy Ciampa, of course they made kids. But Shelley did specify that he wants to do this on his own, so Ciampa knows what that means, right? Ciampa has to stay backstage, too. Gargano will handle business by himself. He’s not some naive 18-year-old kid with a dream anymore! Dream came true!
Gargano will go remind Shelley that he’s Johnny Freakin’ Wrestling! So Ciampa can just relax right back here. Ciampa says go get him! Ciampa won’t even move a muscle from here, you can trust him. Can he? Or is this all another facade to lower everyone’s guard?
It’s an all new Grayson Waller Effect!
A-Town Down Under is already in the ring, and fans boo as Austin Theory & Grayson Waller show off the abs. Waller then welcomes us to the Grayson Waller- And Austin Theory…! Effect. The hottest show keeps getting hotter cuz Waller gets scoop after scoop, lads. And tonight is a big scoop! A big, BIG scoop! The first transfer from Raw to SmackDown, it’s the Monster of All Monsters, BRAUN STROWMAN! The fans cheer as Braun makes his way to the ring, and he’s coming out as Santa Braun! Or perhaps, Strowman Claus? Either way, Braun throws free merchandise to the fans, what a gift for Christmas!
Braun empties the bag and then goes to the ring. Turns out, nothing for Waller & Theory! Waller sits behind the desk and thanks Braun for coming. And how nice of Braun to help all the poor here in Hartford. The fans boo and Braun asks if Waller’s really starting this like that. Is he really trying to piss Braun off already? No no no! Braun is right, it really is nice. And this is big! The biggest acquisition in SmackDown history! On the biggest talk show in WWE history! Braun says it doesn’t get any bigger than this, baby! The fans cheer and Waller says before we start, he knows how this goes, sometimes.
Waller just wants us to know that he invested a lot of money into the new set. Maybe we continue to spread Christmas cheer and have a civil conversation. No damage. Well, if Waller runs his mouth, then Braun can promise he’ll wear Waller out using all the stuff in here. Waller says he’s a bit surprised Braun agreed to this. If no one has said before, but Braun is a little intimidating. But the more Waller thought about it, the more it made sense. Even Braun sees the sense in associating with ATDU! The fans boo and Braun says he threw up a little bit in his mouth, and that get a good laugh.
Waller says okay, but SmackDown’s a bit scary right now. Bloodline is going wild, people are getting attacked backstage, and you don’t wanna be alone in the car park. Sorry, parking lot. Braun asks if Waller knows who he’s talking to. No, he didn’t mean anything by it. Waller just figures, it’d be a good idea if Braun looked after Braun for once. And that means setting up the ultimate alliance. Braun Strowman & A-Town Down Under as the same team! They’d be untouchable! The cunning and intelligence of Waller & Theory, Braun’s strength. Get it? Brains & Braun. Braun says he already told Waller to watch his mouth! Does Waller want his set shoved up his-
Wait! Carmelo Hayes makes his way out here! Braun sighs and Melo says no, no, no, cut this out. Melo has a bone to pick with Braun. Aldis thought he was going to humble Melo by setting him up against Braun. Everybody here knows that that wasn’t fair. But newsflash, Nick Aldis, you can’t humble greatness! Melo might lose, but he’ll never quit. So Braun, “you big ugly dumb Santa Claus b*tch,” let’s run this thing back right here, right now! Cuz now, Melo’s ready! Braun says if Melo didn’t learn his lesson last week, Braun will remind him what the Braun Strowman Effect is! Waller & Theory run away as Braun grabs the fake palm trees!
Braun CHUCKS trees at Melo but Melo just laughs. Will Melo not miss the game winner in this rematch? Or will Braun be the one to humble H1M?
Braun Strowman VS Carmelo Hayes!
SmackDown returns and the bell rings. Braun chuckles at Melo wanting to tie up. They do tie up but then Melo slips around to KICK the leg! Braun just brushes that off as he and Melo circle. Melo uses the ropes and even the ref as a shield so Braun backs off. Melo comes back, taunts Braun, then drops back to ropes. The ref wants Braun to let off, and Braun does, but then Melo sucker punches him! Melo talks smack, then whips, but Braun blocks! B raun shakes his head, whips Melo, but Melo ducks ‘n’ dodges ‘n’ slides out. Melo says safe! Melo says he’s smart, but then gets spooked as Braun storms up to ropes!
The ref has Braun stay back, and Melo gets cocky again. Braun signals to the fans that he’s taking a lap and the fans fire up. Braun goes outside, builds speed, but Melo runs! Melo slides into the ring, Braun gets on the apron, but Melo KICKS him! The fans boo but Melo hits the FADE AWAY! Braun flounders, Melo CLUBS and KNEES and repeat! Braun SHOVES Melo out of the ring! Braun shakes it off then storms back up on Melo. Braun YANKS Melo up by his hair! And then he TOSSES Melo across the way! The fans fire up and Braun drags Melo up again. Braun whips, Melo dropkicks the legs out! Braun falls, Melo runs, FADE AWAY, but into Braun’s hands!
Braun pops Melo up, but Melo SPIKE-RANAS! Braun sputters and Melo soaks up heat. Braun rises up like the monster he is! Melo turns around, Braun runs up, but Melo DUMPS Braun out! Melo BOOTS Braun away, then gets cocky again. Melo goes out the side and he runs up a la Braun. But Braun BOOTS Melo right down! The fans fire up and Braun looms over Melo. Braun drags Melo up, whips him at steps, but Melo goes up! Melo leaps, but into Braun’s arms! We’re at 7 of 10 as Melo slips free! Melo SLAPS Braun! Braun grabs Melo by the neck and TOSSES him into the ring! We’re at 10!! MELO WINS!
Winner: Carmelo Hayes, by count out
Talk about rope-a-dope! Melo steals this win by getting the better of Braun’s anger! Braun scowls at smart-aleck Melo, and he storms in! Melo runs out to the crowd and into the night, but Braun pursues! Will Melo #GetTheseHands one way or another?
Nia Jax and Candice LeRae talk backstage.
They’re both excited for the tag title match tonight, because Nia can become a double champion. Tiffany Stratton walks in and Nia says there she is! Tiff wishes them luck tonight, and cannot wait to be there ringside when the ref raises their hands. Nia gets a guilty look on her face and Candice tells Tiff that they were talking… It’s best if Tiff stays in the back. But hey, she can take some notes if she wants. And if she wants to help, she can prepare champagne, balloons and maybe even streamers. They’re gonna need all that after the big win. So Tiff should get on that while Candice & Nia strategize.
Tiff looks to Nia but Nia just says, “Thanks, Tiff.” Tiff leaves, Nia shrugs off the guilt and says she and Candice are ready. Candice is sure Tiff will have the most beautiful party ready for them. Will the Irresistible Force & Poison Pixie succeed in taking the tag titles for their own? Or will it be Bianca & Naomi having that champagne to celebrate?
Melo returns backstage.
And he’s on high alert knowing Braun is still hunting him down. Melo bumps into Legado Del Fantasma, and then Braun storms up! Braun asks where Melo went. Santos Escobar says screw that, he’s no snitch. Braun says not telling is gonna get Santos worse. Angel steps in and says Melo went that way. Braun thanks Angel and storms off after Melo. But then Pretty Deadly asks Braun to please read through their script. Braun slaps the script down and says he doesn’t care about their stupid musical! But then Melo SMACKS Braun with a chair! And SMACKS him again! Melo talks trash before heading out, but Braun gets back up.
Braun is angrier than ever, and he still hunts Melo down! Is there going to be nothing left of H1M after Braun #GetsTheseHands on him?
Johnny Gargano VS Alex Shelley!
Longtime friendships thrown away in order to get ahead is practically cliche in pro-wrestling, but to think Johnny Wrestling would be the kind to do that. Will Shelley make Gargano regret ever treating 20 YEARS like it was nothing?
The bell rings and Gargano runs up! Shelley dodges to fire hands, then he bumps Gargano off buckles. Shelley stomps a mudhole in, then stands Gargano up to dig his forearm in! The ref counts, Shelley lets off, then he climbs up to rain down fists! Gargano YANKS Shelley down! Shelley flounders, Gargano CHOPS Shelley to a corner, then he mocks the MCMG hand pointing. Gargano CHOPS Shelley, ROCKS him, then wrenches him to whip corner to corner. Gargano runs up but Shelley ELBOWS him away! Shelley goes up to FLYING KNEE! And then he CLOBBERS Gargano! The fans fire up as Shelley drags Gargano up.
Shelley wrenches, hammerlocks, but Gargano elbows free! Gargano brings Shelley around to schoolboy ROUNDHOUSE! Shelley sputters, Gargano brings him up, and Gargano says he’s no longer the student. Gargano ROCKS Shelley, stomps away, but stops as the ref counts. Gargano soaks up heat, then shakes out his left hand before he runs up. Shelley puts Gargano on the apron to HOTSHOT! Gargano falls, Shelley aims, and Shelley slingshots to stomp Gargano’s bad hand! Gargano staggers away, but runs back up on Shelley, only for Shelley to jump the sweep! SUPERKICK! Then FLYING KNEE!
The fans fire up while Gargano goes down, and Shelley says that’s what Gargano gets while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and Gargano has Shelley in a clinch. Gargano fires body shots, then he hits a JAWBREAKER! Gargano goes to a corner, Shelley runs up, but Gargano BOOTS back! Gargano runs up and slips around Shelley to SLINGBLADE BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Gargano is frustrated but he stalks Shelley to the apron.

But wait, here comes Sabin! Ciampa violated the deal first so Sabin’s not letting him do worse!
Gargano climbs up while Sabin chases Ciampa off, but Shelley SHOVES Gargano! CROSSBODY! Gargano rolls through, and pulls tights! Gargano wins!!
Winner: Johnny Gargano, by pinfall
Distraction tactic and pulling the tights? Gargano has no shame! But he and Ciampa have the WWE Tag Team Championships, so is that all that matters?
Backstage interview with Bianca Belair & Naomi.
Byron Saxton is at gorilla with The EST & The Glow, and before they head to the ring, he wants to recap the crazy couple of weeks. The mysterious attack on Jade Cargill, the big win at Survivor Series in WarGames, and now they can solidify themselves as WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Bianca says these past few weeks have been rough to say the least. And while you can trust Bianca will find out what happened to Jade, you best believe they won’t be stripped of the tag titles. That’s just what the culprit wants and Bianca isn’t going down without a fight. Thankfully, Bianca has a friend who always has her back.
Naomi says yeah, she’s got her back forever! And she can never turn down a good “snatch ‘n’ drag.” But she also knows how important these titles are to Bianca & Jade, and they’re just as important to her.

Tiff’s hesitation costs Nia, and that means Naomi has earned that title belt! Bianca personally hands it to her and the two celebrate together. Will they hold onto the titles all the way ’til Jade is back in action? Or will a team come along that outshines even the StrongEST Glow?
My Thoughts:
A great episode of SmackDown here, though I think it was also prerecorded. They were in Hartford last week, weren’t they? And I thought that was prerecorded given how Jimmy Uso’s promo was received… But speaking of, good stuff from Bloodline to open. McIntyre calling a true with Solo was a bit of a surprise, but I suppose we should’ve seen that coming with how McIntyre is a Heel and often a hypocrite. Jimmy going after McIntyre was also good stuff, he can clearly still be a factor even with a bad toe. Very good Six Man Tag, too, but I should’ve known Nakamura would interfere and cost Knight’s team. Good win for Solo, and we’ve still got a couple weeks before Raw on Netflix, so the go-home math will still sort out with the first SmackDown of 2025.
Very good promos from MCMG and DIY, and of course Ciampa still went out to ringside despite the “promise” he made. And of course Gargano cheated, but that adds heat to the coming tag title rematch. They might even put that on the first SmackDown of 2025 to hype it up. Especially as I think it’s going to be the first THREE HOUR SmackDown. NBC is willing to do that knowing Raw is going to Netflix, meaning SmackDown will get more time to do more great things, which works with all the belts we’ve got now.
Good stuff with Braun and the Grayson Waller Effect, but of course we set up more between Braun and Melo. Clever move for Melo to win by count out, and of course Melo gets cocky for it. Braun was almost classic Braun with how he shrugged the chair shots off backstage. We’ll of course get one more Braun VS Melo, and maybe someone from Legado or Pretty Deadly screws Braun over given how he treated them. Very good promo from Chelsea after her big win on Saturday, and I’m sure she’ll be celebrating this win in both kayfabe and real-life through the holidays, ready to start her first title feud on January 3rd.
Very good promo from Kevin Owens, but I feel like he had to contradict himself here from what he said during the Raw on Netflix “kickoff show” on Wednesday. Kevin said then that he’s going to act as the defending champion with the holiday house show tour, but he said here he isn’t the champion since he got screwed. Either way, he’ll really play up how he is somehow the victim in all this, making the return of Cody Rhodes all the better. We’ll surely get one last match of Cody VS Kevin, maybe with a big stipulation on it, and then we’ll have a moment of (more than likely) Cody holding up both Winged Eagle and corporate logo championships.
And of course, very good stuff in the two main Smackdown women’s stories. That promo from Nia, Candice and Tiff was really good because you kinda feel for Tiff being treated as the odd one out. And then very good promo right before the match with Bianca & Naomi. I like Naomi wanting to earn the belt, and we got a great tag match. Nia surely got busted open “hard way,” aka legitimately, that post surely has edges you gotta watch out for. But Tiff showing up was of course for the briefcase distraction, not cashing in. Tiff hasn’t been pushed that far yet, that might come with the Netflix debut. But Naomi & Bianca of course retained the titles, that’ll cue up Jade making a return to identify her attacker, and it might be Naomi after all…
My Score: 8.8/10
