BREAKING NEWS for King & Queen of the Ring.
As Triple H himself announced the other day, there are now stakes even bigger than just the crowns! The new King & Queen of the Ring will also be #1 contenders, with world title shots waiting for them at SummerSlam in Cleveland, Ohio! With the stakes raised, who will be even more motivated than before to win it all?
Queen of the Ring Semifinals: Nia Jax VS Bianca Belair!
The Irresistible Force pushed Jade Cargill’s buttons and got her to lose both her cool and the match, which is why Nia is the one facing The EST here in the semifinals. Raw’s Lyra Valkyria is watching from ringside, will she see Nia get one over on the other Women’s Tag Team Champion? Or will Bianca avenge Jade and take on The Morrigan in the biggest match of their careers?
The bell rings and the fans fire up for the “EST! EST!” Nia ties up with Bianca, and Nia powers Bianca back with size and strength. But Bianca digs in her heels and pushes back! Only for Nia to throw her down! The fans boo but Nia soaks it up. Nia TOSSES Bianca to a corner, runs up and SPLASHES! Then Nia TOSSES Bianca the other way! Nia runs in to SPLASH again! Bianca sputters but the fans rally, only for Nia to scoop. But Bianca slips around to a SLEEPER! Nia endures, RAMS Bianca into buckles again and again, and gets free. Nia is mad now, and she storms up on Bianca. Nia THROWS Bianca but Bianca handsprings through!
Nia runs up, Bianca ELBOWS her back! Bianca goes up, says kiss this, and then backflips up and over! Bianca BOOTS Nia, then RAMS her! Nia stays up, Bianca runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges and RAMS Nia again! Nia staggers around, Bianca runs up to RAM her again! Nia is in a corner, Bianca RAMS into her! Bianca climbs up, the fans fire up and Bianca rains down fists! The fans count but only get to five before Nia dumps Bianca to the apron. Bianca ducks a lariat to bump Nia off buckles! Bianca dribbles Nia for five, then climbs up! Bianca finishes those fists from earlier, and gets all the TEN, then keeps going! Bianca goes to TWENTY!
Nia ROCKS Bianca in return, though! And she uses the braid to THROW Bianca away! Nia runs, Bianca jumps up and over, and Nia POSTS herself! Bianca then PLANCHAS! Down goes Nia and the fans fire up! Bianca stands tall as SmackDown goes to break!
SmackDown returns and Nia has Bianca down in a cobra clutch! Bianca endures and the fans rally, but Nia throws her down! Nia takes Bianca’s tiny little tiara and puts it on herself like she’s already the queen. But Bianca kicks Nia, DROPKICKS Nia, then brings her up. But Nia HEADBUTTS Bianca down! The fans boo but Nia looms over Bianca. Nia drags Bianca around by the bad leg, turns her over, and has a STRETCH MUFFLER! But Bianca sits up, sunset flips, but Nia stays up! Only for Bianca to avoid the hip drop! Ghost pin, TWO! Bianca CROSSBODIES, but Nia catches her! Pop-up and SAMOAN DROP! Cover, TWO!
Bianca survives and the fans fire up! Nia storms up on Bianca, drags her up, but Bianca throws hands. Nia shoves her to a corner, runs in, but Bianca slips out to the apron. Bianca RAMS Nia, HOTSHOTS her, then goes up the corner! CROSSBODY, and this time Nia falls! Bianca bounces off Nia and has to crawl back to the cover, TWO! The fans rally up while both women are down. Bianca slaps her bad leg, hobbles up, but Nia runs up! Bianca counter punches! And counter punches again, and again and again! But Nia sweeps the legs! LEG DROP on the bad knee! The fans tell Nia, “YOU SUCK!” as she puts Bianca in the drop zone.
Nia climbs, but Bianca gets under her! And somehow, someway, carries and POWERBOMBS Nia down!! Cover, TWO!! The fans are thunderous, “This is Awesome!” even Lyra is impressed. Bianca rises, as does Nia. Bianca hobbles over, brings Nia around, and wants to torture rack?! Nia fights free, CLUBS Bianca down, then SMASHES that knee! Nia kicks Bianca around, has the leg, and DDTS the foot! Nia drags Bianca back to a drop zone, goes up the corner, but Bianca rises again! Bianca CLUBS Nia on the back! And the corner helps with the torture rack! KISS OF- NO, the leg gives out! Nia runs to SENTON!
Nia drags Bianca back to the drop zone, for the A-NIA-LATOR!! Cover, NIA WINS!
Winner: Nia Jax, by pinfall (advances to the finals)
The strongEST, the fastEST, the roughEST, the toughEST isn’t invincible, and Nia pushed her to those limits! While medics check Bianca’s knee, Kayla Braxton interviews Nia, congratulating her on advancing to the finals. Nia will have one match left- Shut up, Kayla! Nia tells Lyra, “You see that? That’s Bianca Belair. I just bust through Bianca Belair!” Nia has Kayla follow her to ropes as Nia says she also busted through Becky Lynch and Rhea Ripley! And she’s gonna do the same to Lyra. And thanks to HHH, SummerSlam will see Nia become Queen AND champion! And it all starts tomorrow when she busts through Lyra.
The Irresistible Force is ready and looking nigh unstoppable. But can The Morrigan bring about a massive change of fortune when the crown is on the line?
Grayson Waller & Austin Theory talk backstage.
They’re getting ready for a first-ever Grayson Waller Effect emanating from Jeddah, but will they be ready for the Mega Star, L A Knight, as their special guest? We’ll find out, after the break.
Bianca gets ice on the leg.
Tiffany Stratton walks up to say, “Better luck next time, loser.” Tiffy struts away and Bianca scowls, but Byron Saxton walks over to interview. he knows that loss has to sting, but does she care to share her feelings? Bianca says it’s no surprise she’s disappointed, she really, really wanted the crown. But she took her knee to the limit and- now Candice & Indi walk over to mock Bianca’s “widdle knee.” But Candice is also taking credit for being the one that hurt Bianca’s knee so that someone more deserving could win the tournament. You’re welcome! Bianca stands up, Indi mocks her, trying to go one leg against four.
But then Jade steps up! What’s happening here? Candice has Indi stand down and they leave. Jade says it seems like those two want their wigs split. Bianca agrees with that. Jade will go talk to Aldis about this. Bianca says bet. Will the strongEST storm blow away the Poison Pixie & #IndiWrestling?
It’s the Grayson Waller Effect!
We get a QR code ass the “Friday Night Sensations,” the WWE Tag Team Champions, Grayson Waller & Austin Theory, are being introduced. Waller welcomes us to a championship edition of the Grayson Waller Effect with his special cohost, Austin Theory. The fans taunt them with “S T D! S T D!” Waller says they know they’re the best! Shut up already. Theory says moving on, some here might call this man a Mega Star. Allow Theory to introduce to us one of the most talented, most entertaining superstars on SmackDown today- CARMELO HAYES?! Well, A-Town Down Under isn’t complaining but they weren’t talking about HIM.
Melo has the mic to say thanks for that great introduction, but he had to stop them. It sounded too much like him. The problem is, they missed a few details. For one, SmackDown’s first round draft pick. The hottest new star here on SmackDown. And most important… he’s HIM. Theory tells “HIM” that he forgot what happened the last time they met. Oh, hey, Theory, Melo knows. Let’s put that aside. Guys like them gotta stick together. Waller agrees, actually. Melo is a way better guest than LA Knight. yeah, Knight sucks. And Melo’s doing things the right way, he’s getting that Waller Rub. Right, and they get the ratings! Win-win!
But these veterans, they gotta learn from the new generation! Theory says yeah, look at Lashley. Where’s the advice now? The only thing he gave the Profits was how to lose to A-Town Down Under! Yeah, guys like Lashley and Corbin are all selfish, jealous and egotistical! Speaking of egos, Melo calls out LA Knight. That guy’s the worst! Nothing worse than a vet who hasn’t accomplished anything that wants to talk all this talk. But the fans are thunderous for “L A KNIGHT! L A KNIGHT!” Theory says he thinks everyone is talking about that LOSER! The guy who can’t win the big one? YEAH~! The one who got drafted late? YEAH~!
But let’s do this, then. Leave the fraud in the back and have some real stars- WAIT! Here comes L A KNIGHT! Knight makes his way down to the ring as the fans go nuts! And Knight starts chucking the plants and props out of the ring! Knight gets himself a mic while the fans chant for him. Knight says, “LEMME TALK TO YA!” Waller says no way is he talking! Does he know how much it cost to get those plants? Knight says he doesn’t remember asking those two a damn thing! But he’ll keep this short and sweet because he’s got better things to do. “YEAH!” Knight says Melo is poking a mean dog with a sharp stick. “YEAH!”
You keep knocking at his door, this mean dog is gonna bite the hell outta HIM. “YEAH!” And it won’t take Melo very long ot figure out exactly whose game this is, with everybody saying…! “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!!” But then Melo sucker punches Knight! Melo fires off, but Knight fires back! But then ATDU help Melo mug the Mega Star! So here come the Street Profits! Montez & Dawkins DECK Waller, LARIAT Theory, and fire off on Melo! The Profits TOSS Melo out and stand tall with Knight! Will we get a Mega Star Six Man Tag outta this? We’ll have to wait and see after the break!
Blair Davenport speaks.
“Everybody wants to talk about ‘living your truth. Embracing who you are and that anything is possible.’ It’s embarrassing. Truth is, you’re weak. You’re lazy. And the reason bad things keep happening to you is because you allow it. You’re not successful because you’re not good enough. So while you cry about being overlooked, Blair Davenport has already taken your spot. Does that hurt your feelings? Well come and do something about it.”
Six Man Tag: LA Knight & The Profits VS Carmelo Hayes & A-Town Down Under!
As Teddy Long might say, HOLLA HOLLA! The teams sort out and Melo starts against Ford and the fans fire up. The two circle, tie up, and Melo wrenches to a wristlock. Ford wrenches through, wristlocks, but Melo spins to wrench back. Ford rolls, handsprings, and wrenches back! Melo rolls, wrenches, wristlocks, but Ford rolls to arm-drag! Melo staggers up, Ford runs, but Melo dodges. Ford goes up and over in the corner, Melo hits buckles as Ford flips! Then Ford DROPKICKS Melo down! Ford swaggers and the fans fire up. Ford tags Dawkins, Dawkins goes up, and he AX HANDLES the arm! Dawkins wrenches Melo but Melo kicks low.
Melo headlocks, Dawkins powers up but Melo spins that around. Melo hurdles, drops, but Dawkins handsprings! Dawkins gets under Melo for a FLAPJACK! The fans fire up and Dawkins fires up with them! Dawkins wrenches, tag to Knight, but Melo runs away! Tag to Theory and the fans rally behind Knight. Knight and Theory circle, tie up, and Knight wrenches to YANK, YANK and YANK! “YEAH! YEAH!

YEAH! A big win over the WWE Tag Team Champions and the self-proclaimed next big thing, will Ford, Dawkins & The Mega Star tear them all down?
Cody Rhodes crosses paths with Randy Orton.
The American Nightmare wishes The Viper good luck tonight, and Orton thanks him for that. Orton has to make it through Tama Tonga tonight and then Gunther tomorrow, but is there a chance we see Legacy VS Legacy at SummerSlam?
Cody Rhodes is here!
Jeddah fires up for the American Nightmare and sings along with the song as he makes his way to the ring, “WHOA~ OH~!” Cody gets his pyro, gets in the ring, and gets the mic as the fans chant his name. But before he can say anything, Logan Paul makes his entrance! The United States Champion swaggers down to the ring, mic already in hand. “Hey Cody, bad news bears, brother. You got played. For the third time I’m walking down the aisle in Saudi Arabia with a championship in my sights. And unfortunately this time, you’re the victim.
“Because tomorrow night, brother, I’m walking outta here with the Undisputed title on my shoulder–Yeah, the one you’re holding right now–as well as the United States Championship.” The fans boo but Logan says he has some facts for Cody. While Cody may have the edge in experience, Logan is smarter. All that bleach must be getting to Cody’s brain. Cuz here’s one thing Logan does know: He certainly is a better athlete, better entertainer and better performer. And for anyone who thinks he needs cheap tactics, you’re wrong. We all saw him hand over his brass knuckles to Michael Cole, and we have his word he’ll not use them.
Cody says maybe Logan is smarter. Cody isn’t an idiot, though. And his experience would lead him to believe that Logan is just a scared little kid. The fans like that one! Cody says Logan is afraid someone will see him as a fraud in the WWE. A YouTuber pretending to be a pro-wrestler. The fans chant “YES YOU ARE! YES YOU ARE!” But Cody says he doesn’t believe that. He’s seen how good Logan is. But he also has Impostor Syndrome. And standing face to face here, Cody’s gut leads Cody to believe that Logan has a spare pair of knuckles on him right now. Oh, so is Cody calling Logan a liar? This is what he means by Cody being stupid!
Call Logan what you want but he’s no liar. Michael Cole has the knuckles, not Logan. No need to accuse him. The fans chant “LIAR! LIAR! LIAR!” Logan says they’re as dumb as Cody. Cody says fine, we’ll give Logan a chance to prove himself. Logan is a man of his word, giving his only brass knuckles to Cole. So then senior official, Ryan Tran, is here. Let’s make this official. Ryan, come frisk Logan. Logan says hold on, is this TSA? Ryan still asks Logan to T-pose. Well, fine, Cody first though! Champ privilege. Cody says fine, and he lets Ryan pat him down. Logan wants every crevice. Ryan says Cody is clean, and the fans cheer.
Logan says fine, nothing to hide. Do what you gotta do, Ryan. Ryan pats Logan down, but that’s a pretty puffy jacket. and pants. Wait! Speaking of the pants…! Surprise! In that pocket are BRASS KNUCKLES! Okay, okay, Logan doesn’t know how those got there! He borrowed these pants from his brother! He doesn’t wear Prada, he’s from Ohio! But the fans chant “LIAR! LIAR!” Logan says fine, he wasn’t being 100, but now he is. He said he wouldn’t use them in the match tomorrow. Those were for self-defense. But now Cody has them, those are illegal, someone do something! Logan backs out of the ring while Cody holds the knuckles up.
The fans boo but Logan tells them to shut up! Nothing changes! Logan does NOT need those to beat Cody! He’s better than Cody, is taking everything from him, so keep those. Logan will beat Cody fair and square! Okay, then. One more thing: Cody says those knuckles are the difference between them. These titles are a crutch for Logan and everything he’s done in his careers. It’s another way to get clicks. But this title is Cody’s whole life! It’s all Cody’s ever wanted to be. Every ounce of blood, every drop of sweat, every cheer from the fans, it is the thing people love and hate about the Rhodes family! They’re as real as real gets!
The fans fire up behind Cody and Cody says that Logan brought up Cody is just saying the same thing as others. Cody will say something new then. Cody doesn’t think of Logan as a YouTuber. Cody sees Logan as a pro-wrestler, as a WWE superstar. But until Logan stops treating this part-time and dedicates his heart and soul and respects this ring, Logan will never, and he means NEVER, be on Cody’s level! He will NEVER be Undisputed Champion! And Cody will beat this “kid” so badly, Logan will regret ever having stepped in this ring. Cody puts Logan in his place emotionally, but will he do that physically?
Backstage interview with Randy Orton.
Byron Saxton is with The Viper and says a couple weeks ago, Orton had a very direct message for Tama Tonga. Tonight, it is Tama who stands in his way of the finals. Orton says ever since Tama came to WWE, he has proven he is vicious, unhinged, unpredictable. Unfortunately for Tama, this is Randy Orton. Orton has made a name for himself by being vicious, unhinged and unpredictable. Now, the Bloodline has the numbers, but time and again through Orton’s career, he has overcome the odds. Tonight is no different. It won’t be any different when Tama sees it coming, and still gets hit with the three most dangerous letters in WWE: R K O!
Bayley is heading to gorilla.
The Role Model passes by Michin and they both say hi. Bayley will catch Mia later, she’s got some business to attend to. Bayley then passes by Nia, and Nia says hi. Nia also says keep the title clean until SummerSlam. Bayley scowls and moves past Nia, will she worry about “Queen Nia” after cleaning up the Hot Mess?
Backstage interview with The Pride.
Kayla Braxton is with Montez Ford, Angelo Dawkins & B-Fab as they’re all fired up. Great win over the WWE Tag Team Champions, and clearly they’re feeling good. Ford says they’re fantastic. No noe likes losing. Waller & Theory talking about the smoke, well the Profits are the smoke! And then in step DIY! Ciampa & Gargano celebrate with the Profits, and nothing but respect. But the agenda is DIY as the next tag team champions. But what Ciampa loves about The Profits, they are always so optimistic. This red Solo cup is always half full, right? But like Gargano said, DIY is after those titles. If they gotta go through Profits, then so be it.
Ciampa dumps out the drink, and cup’s empty now. DIY leaves, will the Profits make them pay for that one?
Bayley VS Chelsea Green w/ Piper Niven!
SmackDown returns and Chelsea makes her entrance, Miss P following alongside. The bell rings and then Chelsea DECKS Bayley! Chelsea bumps Bayley off buckles, soaks up the heat, then runs in, only to be put on the apron. Chelsea SLAPS Bayley, goes up, and leaps to MISSILE DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! Chelsea is upset already but she drags Bayley up. Bayley throws body shots, JAWBREAKERS free, and then goes to a corner. Chelsea says this is her moment! Chelsea runs, slides and trips Bayley! Chelsea spins Bayley around to BOOT her! Bayley dangles off the apron, Chelsea says thank you, and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and Bayley throws forearms back and forth with Chelsea! Bayley gets the edge, then LARIATS Chelsea down! And LARIATS again! Bayley gest around to SAIDO! Chelsea flounders to a corner, Bayley storms up and reels her in, TWIST- NO, Chelsea shoves her away! Chelsea then runs up to ZIGZAG! The fans boo but Chelsea hits a ROUGH RYDER!! Cover, TWO!! Chelsea is shocked that her hubby’s move didn’t finish this! Chelsea hurries to a corner, takes aim, runs up again, but Bayley POWERBOMBS her! Bayley then rolls Chelsea to her feet, hooks her up, and ROSE PLANTS her! Cover, Bayley wins!
Winner: Bayley, by pinfall
But then Piper SPLASHES in!! The fans boo but the Scottish Viper pushes Bayley to a corner. Piper checks on Chelsea, then runs in, but Bayley BOOTS her! Bayley BOOTS again, then throws hands! The fans fire up as Bayley ROCKS Piper, whips, but Piper blocks! Piper whips Bayley to scoop and SCRAPBUSTER! Piper says you like that? Then SENTON! And another SENTON! Chelsea says keep going! Bayley stirs, Piper SENTONS again!! The ref reprimands but the damage is done! Will Piper get to Bayley before Nia does?
AJ Styles talks with Nick Aldis.
The Phenomenal One says he won’t take up too much of Aldis’ time, he knows he hasn’t been the easiest to deal with. Styles just wants to say that we saw what happened in France. he and Cody tore the house down, and Styles was one second away from beating Cody. Same for how close he was to beating Orton in KOTR. So before Styles makes any rash decisions, he just wants one more chance. Whoever comes out on top between Cody and Logan. Please. And Aldis, Styles needs this. Please. Aldis knows Styles wants to be WWE Champion, and Styles knows how much respect Aldis has for him. If you’re asking personally, 100% yes every day of the week.
But professionally, Aldis can’t just give Styles what he wants. That chance he’s asking for has to be earned. And that takes time. Styles says Aldis knows he doesn’t have time! Aldis tells Styles, that’s not something he can help Styles with. He’s sorry. Styles sighs and leaves, what will it take for the Phenomenal to be Undisputed?
Andrade speaks.
“I am not here to tell you I am a third-generation luchador, and that this is in my blood. No. I am here to show you. I am not only the luchador from Mexico. No. It is easy to say, ‘I was born to do this.’ But because I have been judged my entire–yes, my entire life. They have criticized me, they have insulted me, and they have tried to control me. But limiting expectations doesn’t control my destiny. I control my destiny. I know who I am. I know what I want. And now on SmackDown, I show everyone who Andrade El Idolo is.” When and where will we all see Andrade start to take over?
Legado Del Fantasma watches this backstage.
Humberto says he can’t stand Andrade. He should’ve just stayed on Raw. Angel says he isn’t so sure. Andrade has skills, he could be a valuable addition. Elektra Lopez says to keep it smart. Santos Escobar agrees. Let bygones be bygones and think about the business. Santos says the smart money is that Andrade’s skills will make all the difference. Will the Ungovernable really join up with The Emperor of Lucha for the benefit of them both? Or will this be the LWO drama all over again?
The Bloodline prepares backstage.
Tama Tonga is snarling and ready, but The Wise Man talks to Solo Sikoa. Solo knows Tonga Loa isn’t here tonight, right? Yes, he knows. And that’s because they couldn’t get him “across the border.” Solo knows that, too. Heyman says he can’t get the Tongans here because they can’t clear customs! As soon as Loa gets a background check…! These are very dangerous men Solo is recruiting! Solo knows. Heyman says there’s reason the Tongans weren’t brought into The Bloodline in the past! Heyman just asks that until Roman- Solo says until Roman Reigns returns, SOLO is in charge. If Heyman has any problems, they’re up to him to fix it.
Heyman accepts that. And he says this respectfully, but the problem regarding Tama Tonga- What problem? Tama scares Heyman and Tama says, “You know why Solo recruited me? Because I am THAT dangerous!” And tomorrow, the crown comes back to The Bloodline. “By orders of The Tribal Chief.” Tama & Solo head out, but what is The Wise Man to do about this?
King of the Ring Semifinals: Randy Orton VS Tama Tonga w/ The Bloodline!
The Bloodline has always been after power, but this time, it feels different. They already took out Kevin Owens back at Backlash, and The Viper vows vengeance! Will Orton strike Tama down and head on to the finals tomorrow? Or will Solo Sikoa’s MFT avoid an RKO to be one step away from the crown?
SmackDown returns as The Good Bad Guy makes his entrance, Solo & Heyman following. The bell rings and Tama rushes Orton with fast hands! Tama fires off body shots and haymakers in a corner, then follow Orton to another corner for more! The fans rally for Orton but Tama just hammers and HEADBUTTS him again and again! The ref backs Tama down, and Orton kicks back! Orton scoops Tama for a FALL AWAY SLAM! That’s a new one for The Viper! Orton gets Tama up, POSTS him, and then brings him around, to POST in the other corner! The fans fire up, Orton drags Tama out to POST in a third corner!
Orton won’t let off, he UPPERCUTS Tama, UPPERCUTS again, then UPPERCUTS again! Orton climbs up, and the fans count along as Orton throws down hands! Orton goes all the way to TEN, then hops down to TOSS Tama out! Orton goes out after Tama, SMACKS him off the desk, then DESK- NO, Tama slips out of the back suplex to CHOP BLOCK a leg! Then he RAMS Orton into steel steps! Orton falls, clutches a knee, and Tama soaks up the heat while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and Tama grinds Orton’s leg into the mat. Tama then drops knees on the knee! The fans rally for Orton, we see Gunther watching from the crowd, and Tama goes up a corner. Tama FROG SPLASH FLOPS as Orton moves! The fans fire up while both men are down! Orton rises, hobbles over, and the fans are thunderous as he has Tama in the ropes! But Tama slips in to CLUB the leg! Tama trips Orton, stomps the leg, then DDTS the foot! Orton clutches the knee, but Tama CLUBS Orton in the chest again and again. Tama clamps on a SLEEPER and he grinds Orton down. Orton endures and the fans rally up.
Orton stands, Tama becomes a backpack and Orton drops to a knee! Tama squeezes tight but the fans rally up more. Orton fights back up, RAMS Tama into buckles, but Tama holds on! Orton stays up, and RAMS Tama into buckles again! Tama lets go, and he CHOP BLOCKS again! Orton clutches the bad leg, and Tama clamps on with another SLEEPER! The fans rally for Orton as hard as they can as he endures again! Orton stands, face turning red, and Tama thrashes the hold! Orton sets his jaw, gets his bad leg working, and he BACK SUPLEXES Tama down! The fans fire up as Orton is free of the sleeper!
Orton clutches the bad knee, Solo coaches Tama, and both men rise. The fans fire up as Orton waits on Tama. Tama runs up, but into a LARIAT! And another LARIAT! Orton ducks a lariat to SNAP POWERSLAM! Orton still clutches the bad leg, but he rises up again, and he puts Tama in the ropes! The fans fire up for the- NO, Tama DUMPS Orton out of the ring! Still no vintage Orton as Tama goes out after Orton now. But Orton pokes Tama in the eyes! Orton reels Tama in, DESK BACK SUPLEX! And Orton isn’t done there! ANOTHER DESK BACK SUPLEX! The fans fire up as both desks get a taste, but Orton isn’t done there!
Orton drags Tama back up, puts him in the ring, and he looms over Tama. Tama goes for the bad leg but Orton fights him off! Orton shoves Tama, Tama returns to RAM into Orton, but Orton stuffs that! Orton puts Tama in the ropes! DRAPING DDT! The fans are thunderous as Tama finally feels that one! Solo is looking worried because Orton hears those voices! Solo takes off his jacket and gets on the apron! RK- NO, Tama shoves Orton away! Orton sees Solo and DECKS him first! But Tama rolls Orton! TWO!! R K O!! Cover, ORTON WINS!
Winner: Randy Orton, by pinfall (advances to the finals)
And with that, the Viper avenges The Prizefighter! But speaking of prizes, Orton is now in the finals, and he will face Der Ring General! But Solo CLOBBERS Orton!! The fans boo but Solo stomps away on Orton! BUT KEVIN OWENS IS HERE?!? Kevin slides in, dodges Solo and fires off haymakers! The fans are thunderous as Kevin kicks and- NO, Solo gets away from the Stunner! Kevin defends Orton from The Bloodline, will Orton thank Kevin by winning it all tomorrow night? Or will Der Ring General still become Der King of the Ring?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown as the go-home for King & Queen of the Ring, mostly because it didn’t have go-home recap packages all over and had action that of course affected KQOTR directly. HHH making the tournament about winning title opportunities was also a great touch, it’s really what such a tournament should’ve always been about so that the winners wouldn’t get lost in the shuffle after. And with something bigger on the line, things get a bit more unpredictable. Nia winning over Bianca made sense given Bianca’s bad leg, and now we get Face VS Heel as Lyra is the underdog against Nia. But good pivot for Bianca & Jade to have a tag title match with Candice & Indi now, all the more reason to get up early here in Mountain Time Zone.
Very good promos from Orton and The Bloodline tonight ahead of that great main event. I really like Heyman’s way of putting over The Guerrillas of Destiny and how dangerous they are by kayfabing Loa’s absence as like he’s a flight risk or something. And with it being Gunther the opponent, Orton winning here makes sense. Great return by Kevin Owens, though, definitely setting up Kevin VS Solo at the least, given how we already got #RKKO VS Bloodline. Orton VS Gunther is going to be awesome stuff, and it could also go either way given the winner gets a shot at a top title.
Really good Grayson Waller Effect segment because it turned into a Six Man Tag, and that Six Man Tag was great stuff. Great win for Knight & Profits, we’ll definitely get Knight VS Melo 1v1 later. Profits are in the tag title mix, but so are DIY, and the way Ciampa dumped out Ford’s cup, it almost feels like DIY is on the verge of turning Heel. Either way, Profits VS DIY will be great stuff, and the winner of that match will give Theory & Waller a run for their money. At the same time, maybe Melo takes the place of Logan Paul in a Six Man Tag against The Pride once Lashley is healthy.
Good promo from Blair Davenport to hype her SmackDown debut, and good promo from Andrade to do the same. I do like that Legado is considering recruiting him after all, which was what I was hoping for in the first place, I’m just not sure it happens after Andrade joined Rey the last time. Good match from Bayley VS Chelsea, and of course Bayley wins, but it also feels like Piper is definitely being set up for a title match at Clash at the Castle. Assuming Nia becomes Queen and will challenge at SummerSlam, I would think Bayley retains in Glasgow, despite Piper being the hometown girl. But it would work out as Face Bayley’s always been good at being the underdog. And she’d definitely be the physical underdog in facing Nia right after “surviving” Piper.
Good promo from Styles with Aldis, with Aldis basically turning Styles down. Styles hinted he might make a desperate move, could he “ruin” Cody Rhodes VS Logan Paul? Cody and Logan had a great promo segment together with the second pair of brass knuckles being found and confiscated. Cody VS Logan will be a great match because again, Logan is a great in-ring performer. Before, when it was Winner Takes All, it naturally felt like something wonky had to happen to keep someone from losing a belt. But even with it just being the Undisputed WWE Championship on the line, they’re probably going to protect Logan even in losing so that he doesn’t owe Cody a US Championship match in return. Therefore, Styles just can’t let things go, he goes after Cody.
My Score: 8.8/10

MJF arrives backstage.
Renee Paquette is there to bring up tonight’s main event is Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW World Championship. If Darby Allin wins, MJF will then have to sign a contract for Title VS Hair at Double or Nothing. Darby has made it clear that if MJF doesn’t sign said contract, Darby will never allow MJF to face him for the title again. We all know how important the title is for MJF, but is MJF willing to put his hair on the line for it? MJF just chuckles and moves on, but he notices the very bald Rick Knox, Bryce Remsburg, and the head of security, David Aponte. And then various bald members of the production staff…
And then even Christopher Daniels & Sonjay Dutt are there! Daniels and Sonjay chuckle before moving on, and then MJF sees John Silver flexing. Brandon Cutler, some arena staff, and even Tommaso Ciampa, all bald. Then last but certainly not least, Ricochet! He tells MJF that don’t worry, he’ll look great. Just not as good as Ricochet. AHA~! MJF storms off, will he have no choice but to choose between gold belt and chrome dome?
10 Man Tag: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks VS Tommaso Ciampa, David Finlay, Clark Connors & FTR w/ Stokely Hathaway!
While we know the AEW World Tag Team Championship match will be a conglomeration of I Quit Match and New York Street Fight, THE Conglomeration will be waiting on the other side for their own tag title match. And let’s not forget that Matt & Nick Jackson want their own shot at those titles again. With that, can Freshly Squeezed work together with C&C and The Bucks?

Another star-studded 10 Man Tag, and it was a huge win for all the hungry contenders. Christian doesn’t wanna celebrate, but he does signal that he and Cope will be champions. Will putting their tag team legacy on the line be enough to take the gold? Or will Double or Nothing be the last night that team reeks of awesomeness?
Will Ospreay continues to train with The Death Riders.
They’re outside this time, Claudio Castagnoli playing some wall ball with Marina Shafir and Pac. Daniel Garcia says, “Tonight is the night that we’ve all been waiting for: The Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay, is cleared and back on Dynamite. And rumor has it, the kid’s been working real hard and he’s got some new tricks up his sleeves. So Young Boy Billy, tonight you gotta show me something, c’mon.” Garcia gets a quick turn in on wall ball while cameras move over. Ospreay is maintaining a neck bridge while Jon Moxley uses Wheeler Yuta as a living dummy to show just how to push and pull and bend and twist on the various chinlocks and headlocks.
Use the right arm to push against the head, then snake in the left arm for the sleeper. Pry and shoot. Moxley asks how Ospreay feels. Ospreay lets off the bridge and says honestly, the best he’s felt in forever. Moxley asks if Ospreay remembers the night he won the Best of the Super Juniors. Yeah, 2019. AKA a lifetime ago. Ospreay was carefree, flew like a bird, for no other reason than that’s just what birds do. So simple back then, chasing that feeling, like no other feeling in the world. Can’t really grab it in your hands for more than a few seconds. The joy of doing it. Then everybody comes in and tries to make it so overcomplicated.
Years pass, life happens, a family starts, responsibilities show up, bad things happen, bad choices catch up to you, and it’s all weight on your shoulders. You feel like you can’t fly. But Moxley will tell you something: Nothing is different. Nothing has changed. All those things are still gonna be there, but you can still fly. You’re just more dangerous now. You’re a bird of prey. So tonight, when you got out there, don’t go out there to protect anything. Not your neck, your image, your reputation, or what you’ve built in your career. Go out there to give something. Moxley checks on Yuta and says dammit, if you’re gonna snap a headlock, snap the headlock!
Moxley storms off to instruct his pupil, but will Ospreay use everything he has been taught to great effect? Or will he have to fold against Ace Austin?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“You wanna face Jericho in a match of my own design, Ricochet? A spectacle so innovative, so imaginative, it cannot be contained, it can only be witnessed. Well, be careful what you demand, because you’ve made a few enemies yourself, Ricochet. And now a match designed specifically to settle scores without any, and I mean AAANY~, limitations has gotten even bigger.” Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate were just looking for two more, but “Jungle” Jack Perry said he can bring four: himself, The Young Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! Jericho tells Ricochet that this is no longer what he designed, but it is a devil’s dance of destruction! Ricochet’s destruction!
Ricochet got what he wanted, now can he handle it? Bald. The first-ever SEVEN VS SEVEN Stadium Stampede, who will even survive?
Ricochet & The Demand respond.
They stand with Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family and Ricochet says we all know Jericho does a lot of talking out of his ass while The Demand gets things done. Just like Davis did when he defeated Jack for the AEW National Championship at Fairway to Hell. Hold it with pride, Davis, Ricochet knows you’ll do it well. Davis says he’s got this. Ricochet says Davis has joined the dream team, but he’s not the only one. Because compliments to Ricochet’s golfing buddy, Don Callis, look who else he’s sending: Andrade El Idolo! Gracias, amigo. But it doesn’t stop there, the train keeps rolling. Ricochet was just approached by two guys who have an ax to grind with the superkick sidekicks.
These two wanna fill out the last two spots, so who is Ricochet to say no to The Dogs? Finlay & Connors storm in, and Finlay says to put it simple, they will fight The Bucks in the streets, in the ring, but guess it’s fighting at Double or Nothing! If they want violence, if they want carnage, if they want chaos, who better than The Dogs?! The Dogs bark and Liona roars, but will these seven stand tall in the Big Apple?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS BK Westbrook!
JetSpeed has a lot of momentum on their side, and as stated last week at Fairway to Hell, they’re looking to grab up all the gold they can. Will Speedball keep on rolling towards his own golden opportunity? Or will #Supastud prove his own worth?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two step up. Bailey bows in respect, offers a handshake, but Westbrook goes to roll Bailey up! Bailey stays on his feet, then steps over to sit down on a cover, TWO! Westbrook ducks a Penalty Kick, avoids the moonsault, and the sweep! Bailey dodges, Westbrook tiger feints through the ropes, but Bailey handsprings up and over! The fans fire up as Bailey ducks an elbow to whip. Westbrook goes up, around, but kinda fumbles his tumble. The fans cheer and jeer him for his attempt, but Westbrook blocks the boot! Westbrook FLIPS Bailey, springboards in, but Bailey dodges! TIME ADVENTURE!
Bailey pushes Westbrook down, goes up the corner, and the fans fire up for the ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: Mike Bailey, by pinfall
Another fast ‘n’ furious finish, and Bailey’s on a hot streak! But now, the other side of JetSpeed looks to keep it up! But just who is Kevin Knight defending the TNT Championship against? It’s… BRIAN CAGE!? The Machine finally returns to action, and he has the Don Callis Family with him! Will Cage be able to ground Knight and take this title back to the family?

Cage RAMS into Knight, stands him up, then RAMS again! The ref counts, Cage CHOPS, and the fans cheer. Bailey rallies the fans but Archer coaches Cage, and Cage whips Knight hard into the corner! The fans are torn as Cage hauls Knight up. Cage ROCKS Knight, CHOPS him, then CHOKES him on the ropes! The ref counts, Cage stops at 4, then Cage stalks Knight. Cage stands Knight up, whips him to the corner, then runs in, only for Knight to BOOT! Cage still LARIATS!
Cage hauls Knight up, whips him to ropes, but Knight grabs ropes. Knight DUMPS Cage out, then DROPKICKS him down! Cage sputters, the fans fire up, and Knight builds speed to DIVE! But he bounces off Cage! Cage then fireman’s carries, APRON F5! Knight sputters but Cage goes up the steps to soak up cheers and jeers, all while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Knight survives and Cage is frustrated, but Cage decides to write Knight off. Cage drags Knight up, reels him in, and suplexes, DRILL- NO, Knight slips free to waistlock. But Cage ELBOWS Knight, whips, but Knight jumps up! SATELLITE- NO, Cage goes for ropes! Knight HOTSHOTS Cage for it! Then Knight springboards back in, MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up while both men are down! A standing count starts while the fans rally up. Cage goes to a corner but he runs up on Knight. Knight bobs ‘n’ weaves, fires off shots, then fires a flurry of haymakers! But Cage grabs and TOSSES Knight to a corner!

Knight aims, MOTHERSHIP UFO SPLASH!! Cover, KNIGHT WINS!!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
The Machine was out for 14 months and yet no ring rust to be found! However, The Jet is just #2Fly2Stop! Bailey brings mics into the ring to say, “Congratulations to The Jet on a hell of a win!” Knight says much appreciated. But like he said, they’re red hot right now! And Brian Cage, welcome back! Cage took Knight to his limits, but The Jet is still standing as TNT Champion. But Knight can’t get over how last week, he couldn’t get the job done becoming #Jet2Belts. Bailey says forget last week. Knight IS a future AEW World Champion! Bailey says he knows it, and everyone here knows it! The fans cheer that!
Knight says he appreciates the support from Bailey and Ashville. Bailey is always in his corner, Knight is always in Bailey’s. And if Bailey keeps it up, he’ll be singles champion, too. Bailey says yeah, Knight got him thinking. Tonight, Darby VS Takeshita, BAILEY WANTS NEXT! Bailey says Takeshita was his greatest rival in Japan, but they’ve yet to have a singles match in AEW. And Darby, as much as Bailey wants to see MJF go bald…! Bailey is coming for Darby’s AEW World Championship! JetSpeed daps it up, will they become a 2 Fly 2 Man Power Trip?
AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!
This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!
“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.
“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!
“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?
Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!
We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?
The bell rings and the fans cheer Ospreay as he stares down with Ace. Ospreay offers a handshake, Ace accepts, and the fans cheer the sportsmanship. They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to wristlock. Ace rolls, handsprings, and wrenches, but Ospreay rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Ospreay hammerlocks, Ace rolls to kip up and wrench to then armlock. Ospreay endures the grind, fights around, and he arm-drags Ace down. Ace endures, fights around, and rises up. Ace shoots through to waistlock but Ospreay switches. Ospreay hits the headlock takeover, Ace headscissors, but Ospreay kips free.
The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back. Ace has Ospreay down for a knuckle lock cover, ONE as Ospreay gets his arm up. Ace pushes it down, cover, ONE as Ospreay gets the other arm up. Ace tries again, ONE as Ospreay bridges!

Ace KICKS the leg, CHOPS Ospreay down, then brings Ospreay back around. Ace rains down ELBOWS on Ospreay before he clamps on another chinlock. Ospreay endures as Dynamite returns to single picture, and the fans rally up.
Ospreay fires body shots, Ace puts him in the corner, but Ospreay BOOTS him away! Ospreay is on the apron, he springboards back in, PIP PIP CHEERIO! The fans fire up with Ospreay as he watches Ace rise up. Ospreay ducks a shot, atomic drops, then KNEES, ROUNDHOUSES, and STANDING SKY TWISTERS! Cover, TWO! Ace survives that quick string of moves, but Ospreay brings him back around. Ospreay wrenches, ELBOW BREAKERS, then KICKS the bad arm! And KICKS again! And again! But Ace blocks one to ROCK Ospreay! Ace whips, Ospreay handsprings, NEURALIZER KICK!
The fans fire up while Ace bails out! Ospreay has the fans shouting “OI! OI! OI!” as he takes aim. But Ace avoids the plancha! Ospreay blocks the kick, only for Ace to handstand out of the sweep! Ace avoids another sweep, but Ospreay avoids the kick! Ace avoids yet another sweep by going up and over the corner! Ace WRECKS Ospreay with a dropkick, then aims to PLANCHA after all! Down goes Ospreay and the fans fire up! Ace drags Ospreay up, but Ospreay puts him int he ring! Ace rewinds to headscissor, but Ospreay pops Ace up to SUPERKICK the arm out! Ospreay then climbs up, takes aim, and BLINDSIDE FOREARM!
The fans fire up as Ospreay springboards, OSCUTTER! Cover, TWO! Ace survives and Ospreay is stunned! Ospreay just shakes it off, goes to the corner, and takes aim. Ace slowly rises up, but he ducks the Hidden Blade to DOUBLE STOMP! Ospreay sputters, Ace falls back, and now Ace takes aim. Ace runs corner to corner to A-LIST LARIAT! Then he LARIATS again and again! Ace hoists Ospreay up top, then slips outside to ENZIGIRI! Ospreay wobbles, Ace gets space, and Ace runs up! FLIPPING RANA! The fans fire up as Ace is ready to deal the winning hand! But then Ospreay pops Ace up, and gets him in position! STYLES- NO, Ace pops free!
Ace trips Ospreay, steps through, ties up the legs, TRAILER HITCH BRIDGE! TWO!! Ospreay escapes, but Ace KNEES, KICKS, and fireman’s carries! Ace tucks Ospreay to then swing him out, AIR RAID FLATLINER! Cover, TWO!! Ospreay survives and Ace is beside himself! “This is Awesome!” as Ace stalks Ospreay to a corner. Ace ROCKS Ospreay again and again, then hoists Ospreay up top. But Ospreay fires shots in return! Ace ROCKS Ospreay, goes up, but Ospreay pushes on Ace’s arm! Then he HOTSHOTS the arm as he drops down, and he tucks Ace in! CHEEKY NAN- NO, Ace dodges! Ace RAMS low, springboards in and FLYING- LIGER BOMB!! Cover, TWO!!
The fans fire up as Ace survives again! Ospreay roars, the fans are with him, and he ROCKS Ace! Ace ROCKS Ospreay, and repeat! They go back and forth, then Ospreay KICKS! Ace fires another forearm, Ospreay kicks, then Ace CHOPS! They go back and forth again, but Ace CHOPS and ROKCS, until Ospreay fires Kawada Kicks! CHOP! Ace HEEL KICKS! Ace shakes out the bad arm, runs up, but Ospreay dodges to then ROLLING ELBOW! And HOOK KICK! Then the underhooks for the STORM- NO, Ace pops free, then goes to a corner. Ospreay runs up but Ace goes sideways! Ospreay hits buckles, Ace hits the FLYING CHUCK!
The fans fire up as Ace shuffles the deck, and runs up for the0 NO, Ospreay BACKDROPS Ace, but Ace lands on his feet! HIDDEN BLADE!! Ospreay isn’t done with just one, he aims from the corner and… Ace flops over! The fans boo but Ospreay shows no mercy. He just runs up to PENALTY KICK the bad arm! Then a FLYING ARMBAR TAKEDOWN!! Ace TAPS, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission
That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.
Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.
Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.
Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!
MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.
So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?
AEW now announces the Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament brackets!
Double or Nothing will see Willow Nightingale, the reigning Queen of Harts, take on Alex Windsor, while we will see Persephone VS Hazuki, Skye Blue vs Sareee, and Mina Shirakawa VS Athena! Champions from around the world are gathering for this tournament, but who will be headed to Forbidden Door, and then All In: London?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is now with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Willow Nightingale. Renee commends Cassidy on his part in the 10 Man Tag victory. But it seems that there is even more business to attend to. Cassidy says yes, the team has a shot at THE AEW World Tag Team Championships. It doesn’t matter who it is, they’re getting their shot, but the thing is… They still haven’t decided on which two will be. Kyle says Cassidy & Roddy should go for the gold, but Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! Thank you.” Kyle says of course. But that’s cuz he’s got gold to chase for himself!
The same man that put Kyle on the shelf for months is the man that Kyle submitted twice, and will submit again. Jon Moxley, Continental Champion, when are we doing this? Willow says speaking of gold, she is still the TBS Champion. But she is also in the Owen Hart Cup. She won this tournament before, she’ll do it all over again, so that she can have all the gold for herself at All In: London. She knows she can, and she will! Then Conglomeration has it all in order? Cassidy says hold on, there’s something missing. They should do a Word of the Day. Why haven’t they done one in so long? Roddy shouts for “MAAARK~!” And yes, Mark Briscoe returns!
The Sussex County Chicken is all fired up, and he says the Word of the day is reunification! For Mark Briscoe is back with his boys and his girls, The Conglomeration! But he’ll put this plain and simple: Tommaso Ciampa! Next Wednesday, Briscoe’s after your ass, son! You hear him? But before that, Saturday Night Collision is in HIS hometown, Salisbury, Maryland! That’s just 4.4 miles from where Briscoe originated on this earth! They’re gonna conglomerate and it’s gonna be a a hell of a time! Are you ready!? Willow and Kyle are fired up, Briscoe goes wild, and the team heads out. Cassidy admits, that was a lot of yelling.
But while The Conglomeration is ready to go Double or Nothing, will they soon have even more gold in the collection? Or are these high and lofty a little too much even for them?
Six Woman Tag: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds VS The Triangle of Madness!
With the news of both the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way for Double or Nothing, and the Owen Hart Cup brackets, this trios match is about much more than just settling scores! Will the Shining Samurai be just as sharp as Jamie Hayter going into that title match? Or will Thekla, Skye Blue & Julia Hart continue to bring them down by any means necessary?
The trios sort out and Jamie steps up against Thekla as both a rematch from their 1v1 title match, and a preview of what’s to come in the next. They circle, but then Skye CLOBBERS Jamie! Julia steps in, but so do Shida and Windsor! The Triangle throws hands on Shida & The Birds, then triple whip. But all three reverse, a BOOT for Thekla, a DDT for Skye, and a BACKBREAKER for Julia! The fans cheer as The Triangle bails out! Shida goes out to keep after Skye while Windsor goes after Julia. Jamie gets Thekla back in the ring while Shida and Windsor have the Sisters of Sin in the corners of the barriers. The fans cheer as they all rain down fists!
Windsor, Jamie & Shida all go to nine, then wind up for TEN! The fans cheer again while Thekla sputters. Jamie snap suplexes, but Skye ROCKS Shida! Jamie stomps Thekla, Windsor SLAMS Julia off barriers, and Jamie stomps a mudhole in the corner. The ref counts, Jamie lets off, but Skye and Windsor meet while tightrope walking the barriers! Skye and Windsor trade shots, they wobble a bit, then Skye DECKS Windsor! Skye keeps from falling into the crowd, but Jamie gets her! Windsor joins in and the Birds double gorilla press, SNAKE EYES off the apron! The fans fire up, but Thekla is up top! SUPER CROSSBODY onto The Birds!
The fans fire up again and Thekla is feeling it while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Thekla stomps Windsor, CLUBS Jamie, then helps Skye. But Shida runs up, only for Thekla to ELBOW her down! The Triangle has control again, they ROCK Jamie and Shida and Windsor, then send them all to the desk. The Triangle CHOP again and again and again! Then they wind up, but feint chops to SMACK all three off the apron! The Triangle soaks up the cheers and jeers before putting Jamie back in the ring. Thekla brings Jamie up, snapmares her down, then basement SUPERKICKS! Cocky cover, TWO! Thekla drags Jamie to the corner, tags Julia, and Julia runs up to LARIAT! Then she goes side to side to ELBOW Jamie down!
Julia snapmares Jamie to a cover, TWO! Julia is annoyed but she rains down fists. The ref reprimands, Julia stops, but then she sucker punches Windsor! And Shida, too! Julia then drags Jamie over, bumps her off buckles, and tags in Skye. Skye stomps Jamie around, then digs her boot in! The ref counts, Skye stops at 4, then she brings Jamie up. Jamie fires forearms and CHOPS, but Skye THROWS Jamie down by her hair! The ref reprimands again but Skye rains down forearms. Skye snapmares Jamie, mule kicks her, then covers, TWO! Skye frowns but she stomps Jamie down. Skye tags Julia while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Skye whips Jamie into Julia’s grasp, and Skye BLASTS Shida & Windsor while Julia tags Thekla. Julia has Jamie in the TARANTULA, and Skye sends Windsor in for Thekla’s HANGING HEADSCISSORS! Skye runs up to DOUBLE SHOTGUN The Birds! The fans are torn but Thekla says that’s how the Triangle does it, baby! Thekla then aims to MISSILE- NO, Jamie gest under! Thekla lands out, but Jamie BOOTS her down! Jamie looks at Shida, Shida is hesitant, but Shida tags in! The fans cheer as Shida sends Theknla to the corner, then JUMP KNEES! Shida keeps moving, she BLASTS Skye! Julia ROCKS Shida back!
Julia storms in but Shida kicks her and whips her into Thekla! Shida KNEES them both in the corner! Then Shida puts Thekla sideways in the corner, reels Julia in, and she snap suplexes Julia into Thekla! The fans fire up as Shida then suplexes Thekla high and hard! Cover, TWO! Shida stands Thekla up, Thekla swings but Shida ROCKS her first! And ROCKS her again! Thekla wobbles, swings, but Shida catches Thekla for another forearm! Shida runs the ropes but Thekla mule kicks! Thekla SMACKS Shida, then she dodges a boot to DECK Shida! Thekla talks trash on Shida, then drags her up to tag in Julia.
Julia tags Skye, then tag back to Thekla. The Sisters of Sin hit the DOUBLE GOURD BUSTER and DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Thekla hits the bridge, and she aims for the SPIDER SPEAR! Cover, but The Birds CLOBBER The Sisters of Sin onto it! The fans fire up a Windsor DECKS Skye and Jamie HEADBUTTS Julia! The Birds drag Shida to safety, Windsor tags in, and she CLOBBERS Thekla! Windsor CLUBS away, then fires the fans up. Jamie steps in, BOOT RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP COMBO! Basement LARIAT! And then Windsor lifts! Jamie runs up, but Skye trips Jamie! The fans boo but Skye sends Jamie into steel steps!
Thekla sends Windsor into buckles! Tag to Julia before Shida runs up, TAMASHII KNEE on Thekla! Skye SUPERKICKS Shida! Jamie is back to clinch and HAYTBREAKER! Julia runs up, slips around, SOLE FOOD! Julia kips up, but Windsor is there to whip Julia to ropes! Skye tags in before the SPINEBUSTER! Skye SUPERKICKS Windsor, then brings her up! Skye hops on, CODE- NO, Windsor pops free! Skye SUPERKICKS again, but Windsor HEADBUTTS! The fans fire up as Jamie joins in again, and they DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Then they set Skye up, and Jamie says let’s try this again!
Jamie runs the ropes, but Thekla slides in, BELT SHOT on Jamie!! No question that the ref saw that! The Triangle is disqualified!
Winners: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds, by disqualification
The Toxic Spider doesn’t care about this win, she just wants to do damage! Skye gets Windsor in a DRAGON SLEEPER! The ref stops Thekla from sing the title belt again, so Thekla just takes off her own belt! And she LASHES Windsor while Skye holds her down! More refs rush out here, but Julia MISTS the newbie in the face! Julia stomps away on Jamie, not caring about fines or consequences, either! The fans boo, and Shida is bailing on the Birds? Shida cares more about her chances in that Fatal 4 Way than anything else. But then Willow, Mina, and even Thunder Rosa rush out here! They chase The Triangle off with belts of their own!
The fans cheer as The Babe, the Fighting Gravure Idol & La Mera Mera save the day. But will Jamie make sure Thekla and Shida pay for this at Double or Nothing?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita!
They say “card subject to change,” and that is true even for the best in the world. Kazuchika Okada’s real family takes priority, but his Don Callis Family brother was more than happy to step up for this opportunity. Will The Alpha already have two belts by the time he and The Rainmaker battle over the International Championship? Or will Darby truly be relentless in his pursuit of being the best fighting champion in AEW history?
The introductions are made, THE belt is raised, and we see who goes to Double or Nothing on top!
