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

Jon Moxley & PAC w/ The Death Riders VS Orange Cassidy & Jay White!
It was last Saturday that the AEW World Champion and his band of rogues almost poisoned Freshly Squeezed, if not for FTR saving him. And it was last Wednesday that Pac & Wheeler Yuta almost got one over on The Switchblade, if not for Jay White’s top tier toughness. But will tonight be the night The Maniac & The Bastard destroy their enemies once and for all? Or will unlikely allies be able to win another battle in this war for AEW’s soul?
The teams sort out and while fans cheer on Cassidy, White works to convince him that White should start. Cassidy isn’t so sure, but then he warns White! White turns around and he DECKS Pac first! Moxley runs up but Cassidy SHOTGUNS him down! The fans fire up as Cassidy kips up and DIVES onto Pac! White slides out to SMACK Moxley off the desk! White fires hands, SMACKS him off the desk again, then CHOPS! Cassidy sends Pac into railing, the fans fire up more, and Cassidy ROCKS Pac! White CHOPS Mox, then RAMS him into the apron! Pac is sent into more railing! Moxley is sent into railing!
The fans fire up but Pac whips, only for Cassidy to reverse! Pac hits more railing! Fans on the other side count along as White rains down fists on Moxley’s head! White stops at nine so he can BITE Moxley’s head! The fans fire up and Cassidy DECKS Pac! White CLAWS Moxley’s back, and Cassidy CLUBS Pac. Pac and Moxley stumble into each other, so White and Cassidy trade! White sends Pac into railing while Cassidy does the same with Moxley!

The fans boo but Pac stomps Cassidy again, then digs his boots into Cassidy’s face! The ref counts, and we get a glimpse of The Patriarchy up in a skybox! Captain Charisma is clearly in no rush to cash in his Casino Gauntlet contract, or else he’d be much closer to the action.
The fans boo as we see Christian Cage on the tron, but in the ring, Pac tags Moxley. Pac & Moxley drag Cassidy up to mug him, and Moxley CLAWS at Cassidy’s face! The ref counts, Moxley stops at 4, and fans boo more. Moxley kicks and stomps Cassidy, then talks trash, but Cassidy springs up to SUPERKICK! The fans fire up while both men stagger around!

Moxley flips off Kansas City because clearly they boo him, and then he goes out after White in the crowd. White fights back! They brawl out there, but Moxley ROCKS and TOSSES White back to ringside. Moxley puts White in the ring, storms up on him, and paces around. Moxley stomps White’s hand, then tags Pac. They mug White, then Pac riles up the fans. Pac stomps White around, taunts the fans, but the fans rally up.
Pac BLASTS Cassidy off the corner! Pac goes back to White but White CHOPS him! Pac BOOTS White back down! Pac then CHOKES White by kneeling on his neck! The ref counts, Pac steps off to taunt Cassidy, then Pac drags White up to snapmare him to the corner. Tag to Moxley and he’s already up top! Moxley jumps down to STOMP White! Christian Cage is still watching intently as White fights from below. White CHOPS but he’s the one that falls over! Dynamite returns to single picture as Moxley puts White in another corner, and Moxley climbs up to rain down fists! The fans do count along, and Moxley goes PAST TEN to FIFTEEN!

The ref defends the count, and White rises up to CHOP! Pac eggs White on so White CHOPS again! Pac SOBATS and White falls! Pac mockingly asks, “Is this it?!”
Pac paces while White sputters and crawls. Pac drops down to have a headlock on White. The Patriarchy talks, and Christian has Nick Wayne, Mother Wayne & Kip Sabian head out, but for what purpose? White endures, fights around, and reaches out for a ROPEBREAK! The ref counts and Pac lets go, and then the ref makes sure Marina Shafir & Wheeler Yuta stay back.

Moxley HEADBUTTS White, then short arm LARIATS! Cover, TWO!
Moxley clamps onto White’s legs to tie them up in a reverse deathlock! Moxley throws down crossface forearms, but White BITES Moxley’s hand! The ref reprimands, Moxley gets free and tags Pac.

Winners: Jon Moxley & PAC, by disqualification
This isn’t Cowboy S*it, this is BULL, because Hangman just handed Moxley the win! Granted, Hangman’s raining down fists on Moxley, but Cassidy is upset. Cassidy brings Hangman off but Hangman shoves him away! Hangman rains fists back down on Moxley, CHOKES him even, but now Cassidy is pissed! Cassidy drags Hangman away from Moxley, but Hangman punches Cassidy! So now Cassidy and Hangman are brawling! The fans are torn but Hangman ROCKS Cassidy! So White goes after Hangman! These rivals brawl it out, a score still to be settled, but then Hangman gets loose! Cassidy runs up, Hangman ducks, ORANGE PUNCH hits White!
Hangman swings, misses, ORANGE PUNCH for Hangman! BLADERUNNER for Cassidy!! The Death Riders are amused, because their enemies are doing their dirty work for them! And now the Death Riders attack Cassidy, White and Hangman! The fans boo but Moxley kicks Hangman out of the ring while Yuta digs his boots into Cassidy. Pac & Marina beat up White, the fans tell off Yuta, but Moxley has his crew head out. Will nothing and no one stop this literal reign of terror?
The Most Wanted is back!
The little western town sees Bandido arriving, and the sheriff’s men are ready for a fight! They tell Bandido that he’s wanted, so he’s under arrest. They can do this the easy way, or the hard way. What’s it gonna be? Bandido hops off his horse, puts his hat and cape aside, and so the hard way it is. The sheriff has his men apprehend Bandido, but Bandido TIGER WALL KICKS the sheriff, DOUBLE DROPKICKS his men, then kips right up! Bandido says bring it, so the sheriff runs up! Bandido BACKDROPS him away, grapples with his biggest man, and that guy fireman’s carries Bandido! He claims that reward is all his!
But Bandido slips free, SHOVES the man into the railing, and then with a finger gun, he says BANG! Bandido runs up, pommel horses off the big guy to DROPKICK the sheriff, and then he hits the BLACKJACK 21 GERMAN SUPLEX on the big guy! Bandido stands tall after the shootout, but where will we see him next?
The Death Riders regroup backstage.
Moxley says, “I’m a marked man. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. Being a marked man is the only way to live, it’s the only way to feel alive! The only way to live is with a knife to your throat, with the dynamite stick burning down to the end of the wick. That is the only way to live and I wouldn’t have it any other way!” Moxley says these guys, their problem is their egos! They wall want that next title shot! Moxley mockingly runs around arguing with himself, “I want the next title shot! No I want the next title shot!” That’s the problem! YOUR EGOS RUN YOUR LIVES! EGOS RUN ALL ELITE WRESTLING!!
Moxley says none of this is about him, it’s about his people. They do not fight flesh and blood. He’ll give all three of them an “early Christmas gift.” Worlds End in Orlando, Florida, the AEW World Championship, FATAL 4 WAY!! Moxley heads out, Death Riders following, and the champ just raised the stakes on himself! Will The Maniac be able to win his own gamble? Or will there be a NEW AEW World Champion one way or another?
Christian Cage speaks.
Still up in the skybox, Captain Charisma tells Kansas City, “As I literally and figuratively look down on you, sit down and shut your mouths while I conduct my business!” The fans boo, but Christian continues. “So it’s a four way match at Worlds End, huh? Well, I have a problem, a very- SHUT UP!” Fans boo more but Christian says he has problem with every person in that match. Jay White cost Christian the world title at Full Gear, and so did Hangman Page when he didn’t live up to his end of the bargain. And while Orange Cassidy is just a pissant that gets on Christian’s nerves, Moxley is the real problem because he has what Christian wants.
The fans boo more but Christian says if Moxley happens to make it out of that match still the champion, know that Christian very well might be waiting on the other side. And if he is, then this time, Christian will not miss. Christian will send Moxley back into a tailspin, send him back to rock bottom, and Moxley will hear that little voice in his head saying, “It’s okay, Jon, do it. It’s okay, Jon, you earned it. Have that drink.” Christian vows to send Moxley back to rehab, and he will then rehab the world title! Until then, do not ever forget that Christian is THE face of TBS then, now and forever, and he is the reigning, defending, undisputed NEXT AEW World Champion!
The fans boo more but Christian adds one more thing. “Kansas City, before I leave, I just wanted to say… Go- HOOK!?” Hook SMASHES the door window with his arm that’s in the cast! It’s in that cast because of last week’s Con-Chair-to! Christian freaks out, runs away and goes to the bleachers, but Hook drags him back! Hook fires off on Christian in the skybox, and he dribbles Christian off the side of the cabinets! The fans fire up as Christian has no one to help him! REDRUM!! Christian flails while Hook drags Christian out into the crowd, and then goes to dump him over the balcony!! Christian flails and fights free!
Christian runs away but Hook keeps after him! Hook SLIDES Christian across the kitchen counter! And then does it again, right into a wall! Kip & Nick return to fight Hook, but Hook THROWS Kip into the table! And he KNEES Nick low! Christian has run for it but Hook pursues! Kip & Nick hurry after, will The Patriarchy regret getting on the bad side of the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil?
AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Claudio Castagnoli VS Will Ospreay!
The Swiss Superman is leading this block after demolishing Ricochet and cheating Brody King. But while he’s on his third, The Aerial Assassin is on his second. Can Ospreay bring down Claudio and tie things up with him? Or will all the Death Riders be unstoppable?
The bell rings and both men run right in! SPANISH FLY from Ospreay!! Cover, TWO!! Claudio gets up and out but Ospreay builds speed! Ospreay handsprings to SASUKE SPECIAL! Down goes Claudio and Kansas City is already thunderous! Ospreay high-fives a fan and puts Claudio back in. Springboard, PIP PIP CHEERIO! Cover, TWO! The fans sing for “Ospreay~ Ospreay Ospreay Ospreay~!” and he calls his shot! Ospreay springboards, but into an UPPERCUT! Cover, TWO! Claudio drags Ospreay by his legs, but Ospreay flips and twists for a victory roll! TWO, and Claudio kicks low! Gotch lift, but Ospreay backdrops free!
Claudio lands on his feet, UPPERCUTS, but Ospreay HOOK KICKS! Both men are down and the fans are thunderous again! A standing count begins, the fans rally for Ospreay, and both men rise at 5 of 10. Ospreay fires a forearm, Claudio give sit back, and they go back and forth. Ospreay rises with a shout and the fans fire up! Ospreay fires another forearm, but Claudio wrenches to hit an ELBOW BREAKER! Ospreay still ROCKS Claudio, the forearms go back and forth, and Ospreay fires a flurry! Claudio hits another ELBOW BREAKER! And another! But Ospreay fires more shots! Ospreay whips, Claudio reverses and WRINGS Ospreay into buckles!
The fans boo while Ospreay bails out, and Claudio goes out after him. Claudio CLUBS Ospreay, and then pulls the steel steps from the corner. Claudio goes to Ospreay but Ospreay CHOPS, and CHOPS! But Claudio hits another ELBOW BREAKER! Claudio whips Ospreay at the steps, but Ospreay leaps up, onto and then off the steps! Ospreay quickly turns back around and he DROPKICKS the steps into Claudio! Claudio hobbles away and the fans fire up with Ospreay. Ospreay runs up the steps to leap, but into Claudio’s arms! FLAPJACK off the railing! Claudio refreshes the count, then shakes out his leg before going for Ospreay.
Claudio UPPERCUTS Ospreay down, then has the legs! Claudio swings Ospreay into the steps! The fans lose their minds while Ospreay writhes! Claudio then tips the steps over to be on their side. Claudio again refreshes the count because he wants to keep putting the hurt on Ospreay. Claudio puts Ospreay inside the steps, and he pulls Ospreay’s arm through a gap in the frame! Claudio pulls Ospreay into that frame, then climbs up to trap Ospreay’s arm on top of the steps! The fans boo, the ref says don’t, but Claudio STOMPS Ospreay’s hand! Ospreay flops out of the steps, and Claudio pushes them over! Ospreay narrowly avoids being crushed!
Ospreay goes into the ring, Claudio pursues, but Ospreay CHOPS, and CHOPS, and CHOPS! Claudio TOSSES Ospreay out but Ospreay ROCKS Claudio from the apron! Ospreay springboards, but into another UPPERCUT! Cover, TWO!! Ospreay survives but Claudio isn’t even annoyed as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Claudio grabs Ospreay’s legs, steps through, and he turns Ospreay over for the SHARPSHOOTER! Ospreay endures but Claudio sits deep on that hold! Ospreay reaches out with his good arm, pushes up as best as he can with the bad one, and he crawls forward, only for Claudio to drag him back! Claudio sits deep again, but Ospreay still endures! Ospreay pushes back up, fights forward, but Claudio reaches back to get the arm! CROSSFACE! And he rolls Ospreay away from the ropes, too! Ospreay endures all over again, but he has Claudio’s wrists in his face, blinding him to where ropes are! Ospreay fights, even as Claudio pulls him back!
Ospreay endures, Claudio pulls him back again, but Ospreay uses that o cover! TWO, and Claudio now shifts to the legs! Ospreay CLUBS away on Claudio’s legs, but Claudio still turns over, back into the SHARPSHOOTER! Ospreay endures this painful technical innovation as Claudio again sits deep on the legs and back! Ospreay fights, the fans rally, but Claudio does not let Ospreay gain an inch! Ospreay powers up to turn and tuck, and he slips under as Dynamite returns to single picture! Ospreay fires fists from below, Claudio knuckle locks, but Ospreay lifts Claudio! Claudio leans back but Ospreay uses that to spring up, springboard, and FLYING RANA!
The fans are thunderous and Ospreay gets moving! Handspring, NEURALIZER KICK! Both men are down and Kansas City fires up again! Ospreay runs up to BOOT Claudio in a corner! And then he reels Claudio in, but Claudio fights the suplex! ELBOW BREAKER! The fans sing for Ospreay again but Claudio reels Ospreay in. But it’s Ospreay who suplexes up and over! The fans fire up and Ospreay sets up, STANDING SKY TWISTER! Cover, TWO! Claudio stays in this and Ospreay grits his teeth as the fans fire up. Ospreay then takes off the elbow pad, gives a wink, and he aims from a corner. HIDDEN- BOOT from Claudio!
Claudio has the straitjacket, RICOLA- NO, Ospreay slips free, and he wraps Claudio up in the IRON OCTOPUS! Claudio endures, fights around, and goes to the ROPEBREAK! Ospreay lets go, but Claudio ELBOWS him! And he WRINGS the arm! Claudio runs to DOUBLE STOMP Ospreay! Claudio then deadlifts Ospreay into the GUT WRENCH PLEX! Cover, TWO! Ospreay survives, “This is Awesome!” Claudio is a bit frustrated now but he watches Ospreay go to a corner. Claudio runs corner to corner, but Ospreay BOOTS him! Ospreay goes up but Claudio UPPERCUTS! Claudio then climbs up, and goes to the very top!
Ospreay fires body shots, and he HEADBUTTS Claudio down! The fans fire up while Ospreay wobbles, and Ospreay resets up top! LEAP OF- NO, Claudio moves, Ospreay lands out, UPPERCUT!! Cover, TWO!! Claudio is firmly frustrated now as Ospreay survives. Claudio scuffs Ospreay but the fans boo. Claudio kicks Ospreay but Ospreay gets mad! Ospreay sits up, Claudio kicks the bad arm, and Claudio eggs Ospreay on. Ospreay stands to fire a forearm! Claudio hits an ELBOW BREAKER! Ospreay fires a forearm! ELBOW BREAKER! Forearm! UPPERCUT! ELBOW! UPPERCUT! ELBOW! ELBOW BREAKER!
Claudio fires a flurry of UPPERCUTS, then runs, but Ospreay dodges and springboards! OSCUTTER!! But Ospreay can’t cover from the pain in the bad arm! Claudio rolls out to the apron, but so does Ospreay. Ospreay drags Claudio up, puts him back in, and he aims from a corner! HIDDEN- POP-UP UPPERCUT!! Cover, TWO!!! Ospreay survives and Claudio is furious! Claudio drags Ospreay up, runs, and LARIATS him inside-out!! Cover, TWO?!? Ospreay survives so Claudio hurries to Gotch lift! But Ospreay trips him, jackknife bridge! OSPREAY WINS!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Claudio earns 0)
Even Claudio is shocked! Ospreay serves him his first L this year, but Claudio is a sore loser! He CLOBBERS Ospreay, and hits the NEUTRALIZER!! Claudio storms off, but he comes back with a chair! WAIT! Here comes Darby Allin! And he has the baseball bat! Claudio runs away, he doesn’t want this one! The Relentless One makes sure Ospreay stays safe, because next week, Dynamite’s Holiday Bash, we get Will Ospreay VS Darby Allin! With Ospreay at 6 points and Darby at 3, will the dynamic of this Gold League change rather quickly for the holidays? Or will Ospreay make sure he’s headed for Worlds End?
Backstage interview with Ricochet.
Renee Paquette is with The One & Only, and she says he is 1-1 in the Continental Classic right now. He had an incredible win over Komander last week on Rampage, but tonight is about Brody King, who is also 1-1 right now. How is Ricochet preparing for a man like Brody? Well, see, this is why Ricochet came to AEW. This scenario is why! It’s the level of competition. And nothing brings that out quite like the Continental Classic. So tonight, ya boi Ricochet drew Brody King, and we’re seeing this for the first time anywhere! Brody’s big, bad and scary, perhaps one of the toughest guys in this entire tournament.
But do you know one thing Brody is not? He’s not Ricochet. And while both men are 1-1, after tonight… Ricochet glances at MVP’s business card…!? Ricochet says tonight, he’s holding all the cards! Ricochet heads out, but will he make the C2 #OuttaThisWorld?
A car pulls up backstage.
And reaching out is a hand adorned with the Dynamite Diamond Ring on the pinkie. It’s Maxwell Jacob Friedman! MJF is in KC, surely to watch the match between Adam Cole and Kyle O’Reilly. Will the Wolf of Wrestling have an effect on that match’s outcome?
Backstage interview with Matt Cardona.
Renee is now with “The Complete” Cardona, and brings up the incredible reaction he got when he arrived in AEW/ROH last week. Cardona says he’s #AlwayZReady, but given what we saw on Rampage last Friday, does he feel ready for Chris Jericho? Cardona says it is great to be back in AEW, and everyone was shocked about it. But who wasn’t shocked? Cardona himself. He’s been saying it for years, he is always ready, it even says so on his T-shirts. But for the past five YEARS, he has busted his ass to reinvent himself, going from “Indy Guy” to “Deathmatch King,” and at Final Battle, December 20th, the biggest opportunity of his career is against Chris Jericho.
On Rampage, Jericho and Bryan Keith laid him out, sent him a message, and he’s glad they did. Now he knows what he is in store for in New York City, but he isn’t gonna wait! Cardona calls out Keith for a match this Friday on Rampage! Cardona is always ready, but is Keith? As for Jericho, he better watch so he can get a taste of what’s in store for Final Battle! Will Cardona take a bite out of the Bad Apple before returning home to the Big Apple?
Dynamite Diamond Ring #1 Contender’s Match: Adam Cole VS Kyle O’Reilly!
It has been quite the tangled web of a roller coaster ride when it comes to the Ballad of the Brochachos. But after MJF relapsed into being the Scum of the Earth, the Panama City Playboy couldn’t keep himself from pursuing MJF. However, from the perspective of The Violent Artist, that same pursuit is what got Roderick Strong hurt. Will Kyle stop Cole from reaching MJF for his own good? Or will Cole have to be the one that hurts a friend to finally have vindication?
Before Kyle steps through gorilla, Renee is there to ask him about this match. These two are good friends with so much history between them, how has Kyle prepared himself for tonight? But before Kyle can answer, The Kingdom’s Matt Taven & Mike Bennett walk over. Taven tells Kyle that they don’t have to do this. Didn’t Kyle himself say a couple weeks ago that MJF is just playing them all? They’re all looking like idiots fighting each other when “that Melvin” isn’t even here! Bennett tells Taven to relax, and says the match is happening. Bennett knows Kyle is gonna go out there and fight, but he hopes Kyle remembers, they’re all family in the end.
Kyle says yeah, they are. But Kyle adds that they all should’ve thought about that before letting one of their brothers get hurt. Kyle gives a shrug before heading out, will Kyle take out his frustrations on Cole?
Cole steps forward and offers a handshake. Kyle slaps the hand, hard to say if that was respectfully or disrespectfully. The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, Cole wrenches an arm, then wristlocks. Kyle spins, drop toeholds, and he floats to a facelock. Kyle then floats to a waistlock but Cole fights up. Cole switches, the fans duel, and Kyle wrenches out to wristlock. Cole goes to the ROPEBREAK, and Kyle lets off cleanly. They circle again and tie up.

Kyle drags Cole up to wrench an arm, and he hits an ELBOW BREAKER! Kyle still holds onto that arm, and he wrenches for another ELBOW BREAKER! And then another wrench, a snapmare, and Kyle ties Cole up in a Figure Four seated COBRA TWIST! Cole endures being turned into a pretzel, but Kyle let shim up to wrench and kick! Kyle wrenches again as Dynamite returns to single picture, and Cole fires off forearm after forearm! Kyle fires another strike fest and Cole hobbles to a corner. Kyle runs up to forearm SMASH!

Kyle survives and Cole is shocked! Cole rises, waits on Kyle, and Kyle stands into a 52 FAKE OUT! Then a fireman’s carry, but Kyle slips free! Kyle suckers Cole in, steps up and over, and kitchen sink knees hard! Cole bails out, Kyle goes to the apron, FLYING KNEE! The fans fire up as Kyle puts Cole back in, and then Kyle climbs!

Cole rolls to a cradle! COLE WINS!!!
Winner: Adam Cole, by pinfall (advances to Worlds End)
The Wolf of Wrestling tried to weasel out of a match with Cole, and now he runs away like the coward he really is! But will Cole soon shine with that Dynamite Diamond Ring as the ultimate revenge on MJF? As for Kyle, Taven & Bennett have also joined them out here, and Cole wants that handshake. Kyle sighs, and bails out. Is Kyle letting this grudge against MJF ruin his friendship with Cole? Or is there something more to this frustration?
FTR speaks.
The Top Guys are backstage again, and Cash Wheeler says, “So as we were saying last week before we had to go stop an attempted murder… Asheville, North Carolina, January 1st, Fight for the Fallen, one of the most important shows, one of the most meaningful shows, that we’ll ever be a part of. Hurricane Helene hit Asheville, it hit the western North Carolina area, it washed away cities, it washed away towns, it washed away communities. And now, with the help of you, with the help of AEW, with the help of Fight for the Fallen, we get to help build Asheville up from the ground up. Because nothing is gonna stop North Carolina, come hell or high water.”
Dax Harwood adds that January 1st might be the biggest night in AEW TV history. Because for the first time ever, Dynamite will be simulcast from TBS and streamed on HBO Max. For the first time ever, AEW comes to Asheville, NC, and for the first time in five YEARS, FTR is bringing pro-wrestling back to their city. So a big event needs a big match. And what FTR suggests is that FTR shows up that night and has that big match. But before we get there, there was a miscommunication last week with The Death Riders. Dax & Cash don’t have a problem with them.
But if they’ve got a problem with FTR, then this Saturday night, on Collision, FTR will be in that ring. Moxley, Claudio, Yuta, Pac, show up, have a conversation with them. See you there. #TopGuysOut. But will Dax & Cash even make it home to Asheville if they start picking a fight with the Death Riders?
Chris Jericho speaks.
With Bryan Keith behind him, The Learning Tree says, “Hi, guys~! It’s Chris Jericho, The King of New York here, and this is a New York Minute. Earlier today, I was on the Staten Island ferry, going from Washington Heights to the meat packing district, and I heard about Matt Cardona’s challenge to Bryan Keith. Matt, apparently you’re not happy that we left you laying like a discarded Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle action figure, also from New York, last week on Rampage, and you wanna challenge Bryan Keith!? Huh?! You wanna try and send a message to the King of the Big Apple by taking a bite outta the Bad Apple?”
Keith says he’ll take a bit outta Cardona, “dumbass!” Jericho says that makes it official. Cardona VS Keith on Rampage, with Jericho on commentary. But wait! There’s more. Tomorrow night on ROH, available on WatchROH.com, you can see Jericho and Cardona have their contract signing to make their title match at Final Battle official. See? Cardona’s getting everything he ever wanted. But be careful what you wish for. As Mayor Bloomberg once said, “New York City is where potential is realized, and where dreams are made.” But there’s a big difference between dreams and delusions.
But Cardona’s delusional if he thinks he’ll walk out of the Hammerstein Ballroom and Final Battle the NEW ROH World Champion! AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN! You are NOT ready for Jericho, NOT ready for The Nueve, and NOT ready for Bryan Keith. Keith says Cardona made a mistake. He put his crumby hands on the King of New York, so Keith’s gonna make him pay the damn price. That’s a Learning Tree lesson for you, Cardona. Jericho signs off, this has been a New York Minute. Thanks, guys~!
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
Winter is Coming, but only after coverage of the NBA on TNT wraps. That means an EARLY start time for the West Coast, so you better be ready! With that said, there will be MORE Continental Classic action as Blue League leader, Kyle Fletcher, goes up against Mark Briscoe. Can the Sussex County Chicken bring down The Protostar? Or will the Aussie Arrow hit the mark and be an unstoppable 4-0? Plus, Kazuchika Okada is back in action as he takes on The Beast Mortos! Will the Rainmaker make up for some lost ground? Or will the menacing minotaur drag him down into the dungeon?
Sit-down interview with Darby Allin.
Tony Schiavone met with the Relentless One before the show began, and brings up how he hasn’t really spoken to anyone since Full Gear’s ending and that wild car crash into the Death Riders’ truck. Does Darby feel his efforts to topple Jon Moxley failed? And if so, is his quest over? Darby says the quest is never over. When Darby thinks about Moxley, The Death Riders, and everything they’re doing to this place, they are slowly chipping away at what makes AEW great. Darby saw them put Bryan Danielson’s neck in a chair and essentially end his career. And thinking back to that, Darby thinks to how Bryan was the backbone of this place.
And Darby gets why the younger guys don’t wanna get involved. For many, this is the first time they’ve made a real living off of pro-wrestling. But the problem is, if they don’t do anything about this, it’ll just keep happening. People think Darby is reckless, impulsive… Darby punches himself and immediately draws blood! Darby says this does not bother him. Blood, pain, violence, that doesn’t bother him. What bothers him is if no one does anything about it. Schiavone understands, and says all of this is going on during the Continental Classic, the most important time of year for AEW.
Darby says that when he thinks on the C2, it is “everything that’s right” with AEW. People going out there, putting it all on the line for the love of the game, and for the love of AEW. Darby needs to win this tournament because it represents AEW. It represents the passion of AEW. And Darby isn’t stupid, he knows there’ll be collateral damage along the way. But Moxley thinks everything is so wrong in AEW and that it needs to be saved. But Moxley failed to remember that this is the company that gave his career a second shot. This is the company that let Sting go out on his own terms. This is the company that took a chance on Darby.
So Moxley keeps telling himself all these lies again and again and again. “But nothing fools you better than the lies you tell yourself, Jon.” Darby has called out The Maniac, but will he be able to focus on Will Ospreay and their Continental Classic Holiday Bash?
AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Brody King VS Ricochet!
Speaking of kings, The King of Death and the King of Flight are about to collide in a critical match for both men! They’re both 1-1 with 3 points, and only one can keep pace with Will Ospreay. Will Brody keep Ricochet grounded? Or will the C2 be #OuttaThisWorld?
The bell rings and we’re on the clock. Brody and Ricochet circle while fans bark. The two tie up, Brody SLAMS Ricochet down, and Ricochet backs right up to a corner.

Ricochet flounders along the ropes, Brody CLUBS him down, and then he digs his boots in at the corner! The ref counts, Brody steps off, and Ricochet sputters some more. Brody comes back, stomps a mudhole into Ricochet, then grabs the legs.

Brody then brings Ricochet up to suplex high and hard! And then SENTONS! Cover, TWO! Ricochet survives the onslaught but Brody stays on him. Brody ROCKS Ricochet and Ricochet staggers on noodle legs. Brody brings Ricochet up to ROCK him again!
Ricochet stumbles about, Dynamite returns to single picture, and the fans bark again. Brody CHOPS Ricochet, eggs him on, so Ricochet musters up what he can. Ricochet fires forearm after forearm but Brody shoves him! Ricochet ducks and handsprings, but into a GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up and Brody covers, TWO!

Ricochet runs up but Brody SWATS the kick! And he spins to LARIAT Ricochet! Cover, TWO!!

Brody escapes and runs back up, only for Ricochet to V-TRIGGER! Ricochet drops back to a corner, Brody runs up again, but into another V-TRIGGER! Ricochet tries to fireman’s carry!?

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Brody earns 0)
Ricochet overcomes the biggest and meanest obstacle in his way, and now he is tied with Will Ospreay and Claudio Castagnoli! But given Ricochet lost to Claudio in the opening round, how much harder will he have to fight to become a finalist?
Private Party speaks.
Marq Quen says, “Good evening, everybody. We are your AEW Tag Team Champions, Private Partaaay~! And welcome to The Vault.” Isiah Kassidy says, “What happens in The Vault stays in The Vault.” Winter is Coming, and you know what that means! Santa is coming to town! But in step Lio Rush & Action Andretti, and they say this is rather interesting. What do Quen & Zay say to letting them have a taste of some of that? Oh, okay, Zay’s got ’em! All he had to do was ask. No, Action wasn’t talking about the shots. Lio says they want the gold on the table. That’s what they want this year from Santa Claus.
Well, Zay will tell ’em what HE wants from Santa. This year, a nice, thick, juicy a- And here comes Leila Grey & Top Flight! Leila wants to have a little chat after last week. Zay notes Santa came early this year. Darius & Dante ignore that to have that chat. Darius, remind Dante again, how many tag team matches have Action & Lio won to actually earn a tag title shot? Darius is pretty sure it was ZERO. Dante takes a sip of the good stuff while Private Party says, “Ooh~!” Lio asks Action to remind him who got eliminated from the battle royal. Action says let’s think. Oh, it was Darius & Dante! OOH~! The two sides argue, and Private Party has them both stop.
Zay says he has a perfect solution! Y’all can just face each other at Collision: Winter is Coming, and the winners can face the champs for the titles. That is good for them all. Lio offers a handshake and says, “No hard feelings, right?” Darius takes the handshake, pulls Lio in close, but pats him on the back. Leila leaves with the Martin brothers, and Zay says, “Thank you, Santa.” But then with the table set for Top Flight VS Bad Child & Sight to See, who will get their shot at Private Party?
Backstage interview with both Anna Jay and Mercedes Mone.
Renee welcomes both The Queenslayer and The CEO one week ahead of their AEW TBS Championship at Holiday Bash. Mone says, “Kansas Citaaaay~! Missouri or Kansas, Renee? Y’know what? It doesn’t matter! Just say hello to your C E O.” Renee thanks them both for being here, and for agreeing to no physicality. Mercedes has now defended the TBS title ten times, and today marks Day 200 as champion. But before getting into that match, Renee wants to talk Sunday, December 15th. In Long Beach California, it will be NJPW Strong Style Evolved, where Mone defends the NJPW Strong Women’s Championship against Hazuki.
Mone says Renee is doing so good today, she is so proud. But she’s also really proud of Anna. Anna has been doing so well. Mone loves how gutsy Anna is, and how she went to Japan to train. Mone went to Japan, too. And Mone loves that Anna believes in herself, it is so cute. But Mone says Anna is only 26 and just getting started. By the time Mone was 26, she was a FIVE-TIME CHAMPION. And now she’s the greatest TBS Champion of all time. So next week on Dynamite, Mercedes shows Jay there is a price to pay when you mess with Mone. Anna tells her hold on, Mone is not going anywhere.
They may have agreed to no physicality, but they also agreed to a face-to-face. Mone is going to stay and listen to Anna. Mone is a living legend, and Anna does admire what Mone does in the ring. And Anna is aware she’s going into this the underdog. But that’s fine. Anna has been underestimated her whole life, her whole career, and she keeps proving people wrong. So go ahead, underestimate her, too. Because when Mone makes the first mistake, Anna will capitalize on it, because all she needs is 1-2-3 to shock the world and become the NEW TBS Champion. Anna leaves, Mone says we’ll see about that.
Confident as she is, the walls are closing in. Will Mone make it through the holidays with both belts still in her possession? Or will Christmas be cold when you don’t have any gold?
AEW Women’s World Championship: Mariah May VS Mina Shirakawa!
They met in Japan’s World Wonder Ring Stardom and not only became tag team partners, but became best friends. But in the world of wrestling, we all know friendship can only last so long when both friends want to be the best in the world. The Glamour betrayed the Fighting Gravure Idol out of paranoia, but claims to still love her. Will this newest chapter in Mariah’s twisted story have a “happy ending” for her? Or will Mina make May pay?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who ends the night on top!
The bell rings and the two run up on each other! They start throwing hands and the fans fire up! Mina HAMMERS away on Mariah, but Mariah shoves her back! Mariah SLAPS Mina! Mariah talks trash, too, but Mina SLAPS back! The fans fire up as Mina SLAPS, SLAPS, and fires more shots! Mariah cowers in the ropes but Mina keeps after her with hammer fists! The ref counts, Mina lets off, but then she SOBATS! Mina whips, dropkicks Mariah’s legs, then grabs a leg to kick away on it! The fans cheer Mina as she kicks and stomps Mariah around, then hits a KNEE JAMMER! The fans cheer and Mina drags Mariah around.
Mina steps through to have a FIGURE FOUR! Mariah hurries and rolls under the ropes, but Mina holds on! Then they fall to the floor! But Mina still holds on!

Mina drags Mariah up while the fans rally, only for Mariah to wrench and whip Mina into the steel steps! Mariah brings Mina up to whip hard into railing! The fans boo, and we see Thunder Rosa in the front row! She holds up a sign that reads, “Mariah May??? You May Not!!!” Rosa herself says, “YOU SUCK! You’re not my champion!”
Mariah is mad, and she runs up to SHOTGUN Mina! Mariah stomps away on Mina, but the ref counts. The ref has to pull Mariah back at 4, and Mariah goes to the ring. Mina crawls and Mariah mocks the shimmy and shake. The fans boo but Mariah slaps her knee, both because she thinks she’s funny and to get it working again. Mariah then goes to the apron, takes aim, and as Mina rises, Mariah runs up! But Mina blocks the kick! Mina trips Mariah, brings her to the corner, and she SLAMS the leg against the post! The fans fire up and Mina ties those legs up! Mina stares Mariah down, and shouts “B*TCH!” before hitting the HANGING FIGURE FOUR!
The fans fire up while the ref counts, and Mina lets go at 4! Mariah screams in pain, but Mina shows no mercy as she SLAMS the leg into the post again! The fans fire up and Mina feeds off that energy while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Mina storms back over and stalks Mariah. Mina drags Mariah up to hook the leg, SHIN BREAKER! Mariah writhes but Mina kicks her around. Mariah goes to the ropes but Mina brings her back up. Mariah CLUBS Mina to stop the lift, and then she hits a SAIDO! Mariah grins while Mina flounders, The Glamour has her confidence back. Mariah then rains down fists on Mina! The ref reprimands about closed fists but Mariah lets off to hobble around. Mariah soaks up the heat from Kansas City, then mocks their crying. Mariah throws her armbands at Mina, stomps her around, but Mina throws them back!
Mariah kicks Mina, snapmares her, and she runs to SHOTGUN! Cover, TWO! Mina stays in this but Mariah storms around. Mariah soaks up more heat, then kicks Mina around. Mina goes to a corner, Mariah stands her up and she CHOPS! Mina staggers away to another corner, but Mariah is right on her at the ropes! Mariah CHOKES then stomps away, then CHOKES Mina again! The ref counts, Dynamite returns to single picture, band Mariah drags Mina up. Mariah snapmares Mina, steps over, and throws down fists! Mariah gives Mina one last kiss, then runs, but Mina dodges! FLYING CHUCK!
The fans fire up and Rosa cheers Mina on as she stands Mariah up. Mariah breaks free but mina still ROCKS her first! Mariah hits back, so Mina hits her again! Mariah ROCKS Mina but Mina ROCKS Mariah! The shots keep going, the fans cheer Mina on, but Mariah gets the edge! Mariah grins, runs, but Mina ROLLING ELBOWS! Mina runs, but into a HEADBUTT! But Mina URAKENS!

Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Champion)
It was a gritty battle, but it took the move of a different former friend to finish this! But even so, Mariah is still champion, or as Rosa’s second sign puts it, “You are NOT My Champ!!!” But wait! IS THAT TONI STORM!? And now Rosa has a sign that says “W T F?!” Because yeah, while this isn’t Timeless, this is STILL TONI STORM!! She’s gone back to her original identity, and everyone is going wild! Are we about to get one hell of a sequel to All In?
My Thoughts:
A great start to what is now Winter is Coming Week in AEW. And the only weak point for tonight might be the time constraints on the women’s match. It was great to make it the main event, and for what time they had, they made the most of it, but if you’re going to make it the main event, I feel like it needed more than 10 minutes. But at the same time, it seemed rather clear Mina was losing. Mina is already Rev-Pro Women’s Champion, she wasn’t going to become the other double champion in AEW. Plus, with Rosa wanting next AND Toni Storm returning, that’s big story stuff for Mariah. Also, it is incredibly clever for Toni Storm to return as rock ‘n’ roll Toni after “Timeless Toni” said she’d retire from wrestling. We all knew this was coming so great to see it happen.
Speaking of the double champion in AEW, good promo from Mone with Anna Jay, but as I said last week, Mone’s going to have two title defenses in one week. Either Mone has a great week by retaining both titles, or she could have a really bad week by losing both titles, it really depends on the plans for WrestleDynasty. I’m leaning towards Mone having a great week because I don’t think she’s going to lose at Strong Style Evolved, and I’m not so sure she loses on Holiday Bash. Mone is more likely to lose her TBS title at Worlds End, maybe even to Kamille once Kamille’s arm is all healed up. Also, I assume that was just a kayfabe injury to lead to the breakup we got.
And to my earlier point of time constraints, I feel like we got a few promos we didn’t really need, despite them still being good promos. For one, Bandido having his Hollywood Western fight scene. Again, really fun and very well made, and maybe it was to help some people learn/remember who Bandido is, but I thought last week’s “Most Wanted” was enough to let us know he’s on his way back. The other was Private Party with all of Top Flight. Given we had Top Flight arguing it out last week, we knew they were going to have a match, Dante & Darius VS Action & Lio. But that promo seems a bit redundant now with this one, setting up that same match, but now with actual stakes. AEW’s been a thing for five years and they still can’t iron out disjointed storytelling?
Though at the same time, they’re not good with pacing out stuff like this Jericho VS Cardona build. They obviously do it to get people to watch ROH Thursdays, and maybe the sooner they get that cable TV deal the better. If Rampage really is going away, they should just make ROH replace it, but keep it on Thursdays because I don’t need overlaps with SmackDown and how that is going to be three hours in 2025. But either way, good promos from both Cardona and Jericho, and we’ll get a very good contract signing segment and good tune-up match for Cardona on Rampage. Though again, what weird pacing since Rampage is being recorded right now yet ROH was more than likely last Saturday…
Really good stuff with this Death Riders story tonight. That was a great tag match to open, though rather long, especially with Hangman “ruining” it. If he was gonna do that, cut things down by 5 minutes because why would Hangman wait until the match was getting hot to go after Moxley? But to Moxley’s point right after with his ranting promo, the egos kept the other three guys from becoming a super team that the Death Riders would’ve certainly lost against. But hey, that Fatal 4 Way is gonna be awesome, and Christian Cage might get in on that. Though, great promo from him and great attack by Hook. I’m a little surprised we didn’t get a follow-up on that tonight.
Very good promo from Darby, though maybe another spot that could’ve been another night for sake of time. Darby still got his point across, and I think this was his best paced promo, no rushing through lines to get them out. Depending on how Worlds End goes, I feel like we could get a really good “Can they coexist?” 8 Man or even bigger, where Darby, White, Cassidy and Hangman work together to fight Moxley, Claudio, Yuta & Pac. They could even do a Stadium Stampede/Anarchy in the Arena (I forget if there’s any real difference other than what kind of venue they do it in), and that could even give us the return of Bryan Danielson for him to tip the scales in favor of “Team AEW.”
Good stuff in the Cole VS MJF story, though I’m not sure we needed the tease of MJF showing up before the match. Clearly The Kingdom weren’t watching the show because Taven didn’t even think MJF was there, but I guess that’s the writing trope known as “dramatic irony,” where the audience knows something ahead of the characters. Not a good execution of it but it still counts. And great match of Kyle VS Cole, but there’s something kayfabe suspicious about the timing of Kyle being down for the count and MJF sneaking out there, only for Kyle to then recover and roll Cole up. Could Kyle have been turned to the dark side by MJF? Or, what is now the dark side after the still rather clunky double turn. I still want Cole to get that diamond ring to stick it to MJF but Kyle could screw him over…
And of course, great stuff in the Continental Classic tonight, even though it was just two matches. Claudio VS Ospreay was awesome, and fitting that Ospreay would win to stay near the front. Darby watching Ospreay’s back was good, but also a reason Darby’s promo tonight could’ve waited for Collision. And Ricochet adds some intrigue by showing he still has MVP’s card. I almost thought The Hurt Syndicate would walk out there after he won, but maybe they’re waiting for Ricochet to take control of Gold League so that no matter what, the Syndicate has someone going to Worlds End. Plus, that’d be a big moment should Ricochet go to Worlds End, win the whole thing and become NEW Continental Champion with MVP, Lashley & Shelton backing him.
My Score: 8.8/10
