PLAY BY PLAY
Cody Rhodes is seething backstage.
The American Nightmare has arrived, but he is in no mood after what AJ Styles did to him last week. Will Cody get some answers before the night’s over?
The Bloodline is here!
Solo Sikoa leads the way for Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa & Paul Heyman as they all head to the ring. Tonight is to be a special night for The Bloodline, but Heyman’s the only one that looks unhappy about it. The Wise Man gets a mic for himself and for Solo, but the fans boo all the same. Solo tells Heyman to go first, and he introduces himself. “As the Wise Man to the Bloodline, it is within my scope of services that at all time, I must set the record straight.” The fans boo but Heyman says that until Roman Reigns comes back… Solo Sikoa sits at the Head of the Table. The fans boo but Solo revels in Heyman’s words.
The fans chant “We Want Roman!” and that annoys Solo. Heyman takes a breath and says with said position that Solo once again ups the ante in the name of family honor. Solo has declared this a “Double Proclamation.” Heyman calls to our attention the man to his right, already anointed by Solo as a fully fledged member of The Bloodline. But from this moment forward, he won’t just be Tama Tonga. He will also be known as “The Right Hand Man.” The fans boo, that cuts out Jimmy Uso! Heyman then calls our attention to the gent- er, man on his left. History is being made in front of our very eyes, but the fans chant “We Want Roman!”
Heyman says from this moment on, the story of The Bloodline will never be complete if you don’t include the fact that a fully fledged member of The Bloodline stands before you in the form of the INFAMOUS Tonga Loa. Solo hugs Loa and makes the acceptance into the fold official. Heyman says with that, Louisville, Kentucky, thank you and goodnight. But then Solo says hold on there, Wise Man. Isn’t he forgetting something? Heyman says Right Hand Man, #InfamousLoa, he doesn’t think he’s missing anything. The fans chant “SOLO SUCKS! SOLO SUCKS!” But Solo says Heyman should thank Tama & Loa for saving him from Kevin Owens.
Heyman says yes, of course. He thanks “Infamous” Loa for saving him from Kevin Owens last week, and he thanks Tama for saving him. Tama leans in a bit, and Heyman corrects himself: Thank you, “Right Hand Man,” for saving him. Tama says they could’ve let Kevin kill Heyman, but they saved him, “by orders of The Tribal Chief.” Heyman then thanks the family. He got here very early today to do what a Wise Man does, doing Wise Man things, and all he has been hearing since he arrived is that Kevin Owens is looking for a piece of any and every single member of The Bloodline. The fans like the sound of that!
And here comes Kevin! The fans fire up as Solo sees Kevin storming out here, wrapping his hands with fresh tape! Solo dares Kevin to bring it, even though he’s standing behind The Guerillas of Destiny as he does. Kevin still rushes in, he TACKLES Tama, but Loa drags him up! Kevin ROCKS Loa, ROCKS Tama, then fires off on Solo! The Guerillas pounce on Kevin, it’s a mugging 3v1! The fans boo but here come The Street Profits! Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins still have a score to settle after last week! Now it’s 3v3! Solo bumps Ford off buckles, The Guerillas mug Dawkins, but they forgot about Kevin! Kevin has a chair!
Kevin SMACKS Solo, JAMS then SMACKS Loa, but Tama CLUBS Kevin! So Dawkins ROCKS Tama, Ford mule kicks, and Kevin SMACKS Tama! The Bloodline bails out and is in retreat! Solo has the Guerillas stand down, what will it take for this to be settled?
The Bloodline regroups backstage.
Heyman is heading for the exit but Solo asks him where he’s going. Is Heyman trying to leave? N-No…! Solo says Heyman better get them a Six Man Tag match tonight! Those fools out there jumped The Bloodline! If Heyman doesn’t get this job done, the main event in their locker room, Heyman VS Tama! Heyman says okay, he’ll go call Aldis. He likes the Six Man Tag idea, too. Wise choice, Wise Man. We get some QR code chaos here, but will it be even more chaotic in tonight’s main event?
Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair VS Indi Hartwell & Candice LeRae!
The StrongEST Duo handled things in Saudi Arabia against #IndiWrestling & The Poison Pixie, but then Indi had to clap back about Bianca hurting Candice. Jade says that was payback, and is willing to give another receipt here tonight. Will Jade & Bianca clear out this problem so they can focus on what Raw is brewing? Or will the tag champs feel the walls closing in?
The teams sort out, Indi starts against Bianca, and the fans rally up. But wait, speaking of Raw, Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn are here! They sneak in from the crowd and distract Bianca, allowing Indi to CLOBBER her! Indi stomps Bianca, whips her to the corner, then stomps away. Tag to Candice, she brings Bianca around but Bianca blocks the suplex! Bianca suplexes, Candice cradle counters, TWO! Wait, now Zoey Stark & Shayna Baszler appear from the ramp side! Candice puts Bianca in a corner, whips corner to corner, but Bianca stops herself to ELBOW Candice back! Bianca goes up, backflips up and over, then runs in to RAM Candice!
Bianca reels Candice in to suplex and hold her up! The fans fire up and then Bianca SLAMS Candice down! Bianca kips up, taunts Shayna & Zoey, then HANDSPRING MOONSAULTS! Cover, TWO! Candice stays in this but Bianca stays cool. Bianca scoops Candice, but Candice slips free! Candice pulls the braid then tags Indi! Bianca DECKS Candice but Indi CLOBBERS Bianca again! Indi calls to Candice for teamwork, and Candice rolls to WHEELBARROW SPLASH COMBO! Indi flexes and mocks Jade while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and Candice has a HALF CRAB, but Bianca powers out of it! Candice runs up but into a BACKBREAKER! All the contenders on the outside are annoyed, but Indi tags in. Indi CLOBBERS Bianca a third time, then she whips Bianca to the corner. Indi runs up but into a BOOT! Bianca ELBOWS Candice down, then hurries past Indi, only for Indi to reel her in! Bianca slips out of the back suplex, dodges Indi, hot tag to Jade! Jade jumps in to rally on Indi! Then Candice gets in, Jade scoops and hits a BACKBREAKER! Jade then gets Indi for a wrench and snap suplex! Jade kips up and the fans fire up!
Jade runs in to SPLASH Indi, then she runs up on Candice. Jade scoops, trophy lifts, then THROWS Candice at Indi! They both go down, and Jade drags Indi up! Jade whips to then FLAPJACK and SUPERKICK! Cover, Candice breaks it! Bianca storms in but gets a JAWBREAKER! Candice whips but Bianca reverses to TOSS Candice! Indi waistlocks, but Bianca runs tot he corner to HOTSHOT Indi! Jade wheelbarrows, Bianca DDTS then BOOST into the STORM PLEX! Cover, Jade & Bianca win!
Winners: Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill, by pinfall
Shayna & Zoey are annoyed, Alba & Isla are unimpressed. And then they all get in to attack! It’s like Raw all over again! The fans boo as the contenders mug the champs 4v2, then toss the champs out! Shayna & Zoey focus on Jade, and send her into steel steps! Alba & Isla have Bianca, and the RAM her into barriers! But then the pairs each take one belt. And so now they all brawl! The fans boo all the same, until Jade gets in! Jade BOOTS Shayna! Bianca TOSSES Zoey, tot hen SPINEBUSTER! Jade blocks a superkick. Bianca blocks a boot! They each get one up, JADED and KISS OF DEATH!
The fans are thunderous as the champs stand tall over all! But will even The StrongEST struggle when it’s about the numbers game?
Cody is still seething.
He paces as he waits for AJ Styles to arrive, but it’s Nick Aldis that walks over first. The SmackDown GM knows how Cody is feeling. Aldis got played, too. But hey, it is not in the company’s best interest for these two to be fighting in the loading dock because someone could get seriously hurt. Cody says someone will get hurt, and it won’t be Cody. Aldis wants Cody not to do this, but Cody says with all due respect, Aldis should know better than anyone. This is about Cody and Styles. Aldis nods and takes his leave. Will Cody get his phenomenal revenge on his terms?
Backstage interview with Apollo Crews.
Sarah Schreiber is with the former Intercontinental & US Champion as he prepares for his match with Angel Garza. Crews says tonight, Garza finds out- OH NO! Legado attacks Crews! Angel & Humberto THROW Crews into railing, and then Santos tells him to watch who he messes with. Referees, security and Aldis hurry in, and Crews needs medical! Aldis is fuming, but then LA Knight steps in and asks, “Where is he?” Aldis gets spooked, calms down, and says if Knight hasn’t noticed, he’s got a lot on his plate after losing a match tonight. Knight doesn’t care, where is he? Oh, surprise, surprise, Logan Paul’s not here again!
It is SmackDown, isn’t it? What else could he be doing? Aldis shows Logan Paul’s social media to Knight, and Knight is upset. Logan would rather play Tetris than be here? Knight’s good at Tetris! Logan could’ve shown up here, played a round with Knight. If you hit the buttons enough, you can fit Knight’s foot right up Logan’s ass! But then Carmelo Hayes walks in and says Knight is still just talking, talking, talking. And he’s upset about a guy who’s not even here. But let’s talk about someone who is here. And that Melo has been cooking Knight the last three weeks. Knight says Melo brings up a good point. Enough talk. There’s an opening for a match now, right?
Well, Knight wonders what they can do about that. Oh, well, he sees two guys here who could maybe fit into that spot. Yeah, let’s fill that spot! Aldis is picking up what Knight is putting down! Tonight, Carmelo Hayes VS LA Knight, 1v1! How about that? Melo says fine, he’ll see Knight out there. Aldis says Melo has a lot to learn, and Knight says YEAH! Will the Mega Star teach H1M a thing or two about respect?
Grayson Waller w/ Austin Theory VS Johnny Gargano w/ Tommaso Ciampa!
The Aussie Icon got caught putting his foot in his mouth saying his own tag team partner would be nothing without him. However, Johnny Wrestling would like to point out, the same could be said about Waller if not for Gargano. Will Johnny prove that when it comes to humbling the haters, you gotta Do It Yourself? Or will he suffer from the Grayson Waller Effect?
SmackDown returns and Waller makes his entrance, Theory by his side. The bell rings and Gargano fires off on Waller! The ref counts as Gargano stomps away in the corner and Gargano lets off. But then Waller sucker punches him! Waller cravats, throws knees in, then KNEES hard as he lets off. But Gargano ducks the leg lariat to roll Waller up, SCHOOLBOY KICK! Gargano then CHOPS Waller in a corner, but Waller kicks back. Gargano CHOPS again! And CHOPS again! And CHOPS again! The fans “WOO~” with every CHOP, then Gargano lets off as the ref counts. Gargano storms back up and he wrenches to whip.
Waller reverses, but Gargano ducks ‘n’ dodges. Gargano tilt=o-whirls, but Waller blocks that to hit a BACKBREAKER! Theory applauds, the fans boo, but Waller drags Gargano up to fireman’s carry. WIDOW- RANA! Gargano turns things around, Waller goes to the apron. Gargano storms over, Waller HOTSHOTS him! Waller then runs to somersault in, but Gargano turns stunner into back suplex! Gargano aims, PLANCHA, but Waller dodges! Waller comes back to slide, but Gargano dodges! Gargano ELBOWS Waller, cravats, and Gargano uses the apron for SLICED BREAD! A rough landing for both men, and SmackDown goes to break!
SmackDown returns as Waller has the HALF CRAB! Gargano endures as the fans rally behind him, and he turns over to kick at Waller with the free leg! Waller tries to turn things back over but Gargano just kicks and kicks and kicks! Waller lets go, but then Gargano avoids the elbow drop! Gargano fires body shots and haymakers, then whips. Waller reverses but Gargano CLOBBERS him! And LARIATS! And ENZIGIRIS! Waller flops back and Gargano runs up, but Waller TOSSES Gargano to the apron. Waller runs up but into the SLINGSHOT SPEAR! Cover, TWO! Waller stays in this but Gargano stays on him with a suplex.
The bad back stops the suplex, and Waller ROLLING ELBOWS! Waller Electric Chair Lifts, but Gargano fights free! Waller makes it a TOWERING back suplex! Then Waller fireman’s carries for the WIDOWMAKER! Cover, TWO! The fans rally as Gargano stays in this. Waller stomps Gargano, talks smack, but the fans continue to cheer on “JOHNNY WRESTLING!” Waller drags Gargano up, but Gargano ROCKS him! Waller hits back, Gargano hits again! They go back and forth, faster and faster, then Gargano fires boxing elbows! Waller mule kicks and AX KICKS, but Gargano SUPERKICKS and BUZZSAWS!
Gargano runs up, but into a JUMP KNEE! Waller and Gargano go to corners, then Waller runs in. Gargano avoids the splash, comes back but Waller pops him up! Alabama Lift, but Gargano swings to a DESTROYER! Both men are down, but Waller flops out of the ring! Gargano is frustrated, but he builds speed. Gargano DIVES, but Waller pulls Theory into the way! Then Waller RAMS Gargano into the apron, then POSTS him! Waller puts Gargano in, aims, ROLLING UNPRETTIER!! Cover, Waller wins!
Winner: Grayson Waller, by pinfall
Theory sits up, checking his chin. The Grayson Waller Effect seems to have side effects, but it still pulls out the win. A-Town Down Under is 1-1 with DIY, will the titles have to be the tiebreaker?
Aldis returns to Cody Rhodes.
Aldis has security, and says AJ Styles has just arrived. This is just a precaution so nothing gets out of hand. Everyone just relax. Cody doesn’t seem to relax much at all, but will Styles have nothing to worry about with Aldis and the guards standing in the way?
SmackDown returns and…
Cody continues to pace while Aldis says think about being professional. There’s a lot going on, Aldis knows that, but that’s not how they should handle this. But then Styles taunts Cody from his SUV! The Good Brothers are also there as Cody storms up but is held back by guards. Styles laughs at Cody, so Cody storms off, down to gorilla! The fans fire up as they know he’s heading right to the stage! The American Nightmare storms out to the ring, no need for his theme song right now! Cody grabs a mic to shout, “AJ STYLES! Get your ass to this ring, RIGHT NOW! We don’t need security, AJ, let’s do this here and now!”
The Phenomenal One’s music does hit, and Styles does make his way out, Gallows & Anderson still with him. But then the security guards hurry out to be a barrier. Styles & The Good Brothers chuckle while Aldis tries to reason with Cody. Styles then taunts Cody, “You think I care what you want? Do you think I care what you want?! What you want is irrelevant to me! Look at ya! You want to fight so bad, you want to fight me so bad! I’ll tell you what, Cody. Give me what I want.” The fans chant “AJ SUCKS! AJ SUCKS!” but Styles says he wants a WWE Championship match at Clash at the Castle! THAT is what he wants!
Cody gets his mic back and says oh, of course. No fight now, a fight at Clash! A shot at the title! YES, that is what Styles wants! Then 100%, Styles has got it! BUT! This won’t just be a regular match, and Cody won’t just beat Styles. Cody will make Styles what he should’ve said last week: I QUIT!! The fans are all fired up as Cody really raises the stakes! An I Quit match for the title? Aldis says if that’s what they both want, then it’s official! Styles is a bit upset by that but Cody storms out to fight through the guards! He TOSSES one guy into steel steps! Cody gets through another layer, TOSSES one guy into the ring, then LEAPS at Styles!
The rest of the guards keep Cody back while Styles laughs at the furious champion. Then Styles CLOBBERS the entire cluster! The OC gets outta there, will Styles be leaving Glasgow as the Phenomenal NEW WWE Champion? Or will Cody make him pay for everything he’s done in the most brutal way possible?
Jade & Bianca leave Aldis’ office.
Byron Saxton is there to ask the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions what their meeting with the GM was about. Bianca says they were having a long conversation with Aldis, because with all these teams coming after them, the champs were curious what their Clash at the Castle match would be. Jade says the champs agreed to a Tag Team Triple Threat! Bianca & Jade VS Shayna & Zoey VS Alba & Isla. It’s crazy that they think two teams can take them down. “Who gonna stop us? Who gonna stop us?” Jade & Bianca head out, will they prove they are truly the StrongEST Duo?
Carmelo Hayes VS LA Knight!
Melo Don’t Miss, and that’s true. He doesn’t miss a chance to step in it when no one was even talking to him. But will he be able to dunk on the Mega Star? Or will this boy from Boston learn not to mess with LA?
The bell rings and the fans fire up behind Knight. Melo talks trash, tells him the fans don’t matter, and the two circle. Melo dodges a haymaker to fire away on Knight! Melo fires off at the ropes, the ref has him back down, and then Melo storms back up. Melo pie faces Knight, so Knight ROCKS Melo with haymaker after haymaker! Melo kicks low, whips corner to corner, but Knight comes right back to LARIAT Melo! The fans fire up, Knight TOSSES Melo up and out, then storms over. Melo trips Knight, drags him out, but Knight ROCKS Melo! Knight brings Melo to the desk to SMACK him off it! “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!”
Knight finally lets off as he hears the ring count climb, but Melo RAMS Knight into the apron! Melo snarls, brings Knight in and whips, but Knight stops from hitting the desk! Melo refreshes the ring count, only for Knight to back drop Melo onto the desk! Melo bounces a bit, then Knight CLUBS away on him! Knight shoves Melo off the desk, the fans fire up with him, and SmackDown goes to break!
SmackDown returns as Knight fights out of a chinlock. Knight fires hands, “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight whips, Melo springboards and FLYING LARIATS! Cover, TWO! Knight is still in this but Melo stays cool. Melo mocks Knight spelling it out, then he goes up the corner. Knight rises, Melo talks some smack, but Knight trips Melo up! Shot denied, Knight fires haymakers again! “YEAH! YEAH!” Knight climbs up, stands Melo up, and the fans fire up. Melo blocks the superplex, sends Knight down, then avoids Knight’s return! But Knight SLINGSHOTS Melo back in! Only for Melo to roll through and to his feet!
Knight runs up to LARIAT Melo! Knight then FLAPJACKS Melo, and stomps away in a corner! “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” The ref counts, Knight lets off at 4 to go corner to corner, KNEE! The fans fire up again and Knight brings Melo up. Knight whips, scoops, but Melo slips free! Melo SUPERKICKS Knight, runs up, tilt-o-whirl for LA MYSTICA! Cover, TWO! Knight survives and Melo is frustrated. The fans continue to rally for Knight but Melo talks smack. Melo drags Knight up, CHOPS him, and he KICKS Knight to ropes. Melo fires off forearms to put Knight in a corner, then CHOPS again! Knight CHOPS Melo down!
Knight gets Melo up, scoops, and hits that SLAM! Then he runs to ELBOW FLOP as Melo moves! The two rise up, Knight hurries but Melo cradles! TWO!! Knight escapes, Melo fires hands! Knight hits back! They go back and forth, and Knight gets the edge, “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight whips, scoops, POWERSLAM! ELBOW DROP! The fans fire up and Knight waits on Melo. Melo slowly rises, Knight cravats, but Melo rolls Knight up! With tights!TWO and Knight has Melo stuck in a package! KNIGHT WINS!
Winner: LA Knight, by pinfall
Melo can’t believe it, but he’s the one who got dunked on! Knight gets a headset from commentary to tell Logan Paul that he can play video games all he wants. Knight wants to play a game. If Logan doesn’t wanna go to SmackDown, Knight will bring SmackDown to Logan! YEAH! Will The Maverick learn just whose game this is?
Tiffany Stratton finds Nia Jax backstage.
Tiffy tells The Queen that second to herself, Nia was Tiffy’s top choice to win the tournament. And knowing there are people gunning for Nia, just know Tiff has her back. The Queen of the Ring, and the Princess of the Ring! No one can stop them! Just think about it, okay? Tootles. Tiff heads out, Nia rolls her eyes, but then turns around into Mia Yim. Nia says “You again? Why don’t you take a page out of AJ Styles’ book and actually retire.” But then Michin SPLASHES Nia with a drink! So Nia TOSSES Mia over a table! They brawl, knock the table over, and security rushes in! Mia says keep Styles’ name out your mouth!!
The Head Baddie In Charge may want after The Queen, but she’s also gunning for the NXT Women’s North American Championship this Sunday. Will Mia return to SmackDown with gold to rival Nia’s crown?
Bayley is here!
Louisville fires up for The Role Model as she makes her way to the ring. Bayley knows Piper Niven is coming for her WWE Women’s Championship at Clash at the Castle, what will she have to say about that challenge? We find out, after the break.
SmackDown returns and Bayley has the mic. She knows we saw the graphic. Next week, Clash at the Castle, Bayley steps into unfamiliar territory when she faces Piper Niven 1v1 for the very first time! That’s insane given how long Bayley’s been here, but- Oh, here comes Piper & Chelsea. The Hot Mess tells Bayley, “You talk such a big game for being such a big ol’ loser!” Chelsea laughs but the fans boo. Chelsea says the only reason they’re booing is because they’re losers, too! But see, Bayley, you were a loser in Saudi Arabia, you were a loser last week, and don’t forget, you had a loser of a tag team partner in glowy Naomi!
And Bayley will be a loser yet again when “Lil’ Miss P” ends Bayley and they both become the NEW WWE Women’s Champion! Chelsea laughs, Bayley mocks the laugh, and brings up how Bayley beat Chelsea pretty easily. But hey, she relates to the mouthpiece thing. Chelsea wants to speak for someone and stand behind someone when that someone is big and strong. But understand something, Chelsea. Piper doesn’t need Chelsea, and unlike Chelsea, Bayley respects Piper. Bayley has watched Piper for a long time. It was during the Mae Young Classic that Bayley sat front row and watched Piper, and immediately Bayley appreciated what Piper could do.
Bayley immediately had respect for who Piper is, so Bayley knows that when they take this to Piper’s home country, this is more than just a title match. Bayley knows what it is to wrestle in front of friends, family and the people you came up in the business with. That means everything. Bayley has been there before, and she has lost in front of everyone she’s loved. So as much respect as Bayley has for Piper, Piper could’ve just asked. But no, she had to jump Bayley from behind, bring her little puppy along, so guess what? Next week, in Piper’s home country, Bayley will have some damn good fun beating Piper!
Chelsea starts barking but Piper takes the mic. Piper tells Bayley don’t worry. She embarrassed Bayley enough last week. And she’s saving beating the brakes off her for next week, in front of her home country. Piper steps into the ring as she says she’s so glad Bayley has this respect for her and her journey. And maybe Piper would take this all to heart, if for how Bayley knows nothing about her journey! The Mae Young Classic was back in 2017. Idiots say what. “WHAT?” Piper says she has been digging and clawing her way out of those trenches, and putting Scottish wrestling on the map since 2008!
So while Bayley walked into a readymade scene, dishing out hugs and high fives, Piper was being a trailblazer! She was making a name for herself, winning titles all over the UK, Europe and even Japan! Bayley, Piper was already a world champion before she even stepped through WWE’s doors. And if Bayley had any idea just how dangerous Piper really was, Bayley wouldn’t dare stand so close. Respect her all you like, it won’t stop Piper from drilling your head into the mat and taking the title off you! But Piper hopes that “respect” Bayley has makes it a little less painful when Bayley’s looking up at the lights, Piper standing over her the NEW WWE Women’s Champion!
Chelsea applauds but the fans boo. Bayley holds up the belt, but will she still be holding onto it after running into this force of nature?
Logan Paul speaks.
“I can’t even believe I have to waste my time with this, but I heard there was a WWE ‘Mega Star’ who’s never won a title that’s looking for me. LA Knight, why don’t you take off those teeny sunglasses and I dunno, take a look around, buddy. I ain’t there! I needed an actual challenge, unlike meeting you, so I came to Los Angeles, your turf, because tomorrow, I’m competing in the Tetris Championships. And I’m coming home with another belt. Something you’re unfamiliar with. And I know you’re stupid, so I’mma make this simple for you, stupid.
“I’m Logan Paul, I compete with the best int he world, real champions. You have done nothing to merit my attention. You are a walking catchphrase in a denim vest, you hillbilly looking ass Aladdin. So let me tell you something, bro. There’s levels to this, and you’re not on mine. So go back to the midcard where you belong. WiTh EvErYbOdY sAyInG~, LO-GAN PAUL, YEAH!” The Maverick throws shade back at LA Knight, but will he come to regret that?
Piper & Chelsea regroup backstage.
Piper is already planning the celebration for after Clash, and Chelsea says they can do pink crop tops, champagne fountain, confetti cannons… Oh, there’s Aldis! He’s finishing a talk with Naomi, and they both notice Chelsea. Naomi heard what The Hot Mess had to say, so fair warning: Keep her name out your mouth! Chelsea says, “Ew, Naomi. Anyways, Nick-” Naomi stops Chelsea there by throwing “ew” back at her! What’s ew is gonna be when they have to pull Naomi back off Chelsea because- Aldis stops the arguing, and says it has been a day to say the least. So he has no time for this. How about this? What about a match next week on SmackDown in Glasgow?
That’s perfect for Chelsea. Naomi says same, and she leaves first. Piper says they need an ice sculpture, get on it. Piper & Chelsea are getting ahead of themselves, but will they #FeelTheGlow next Friday?
Six Man Tag: The Bloodline VS Kevin Owens & The Street Profits!
Solo Sikoa officially welcomed the Guerillas of Destiny to the family, only for The Prizefighter to show up and start swinging! Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford again back Kevin up, will they all #JustKeepFighting until they’ve humbled the interim Head of the Table?
SmackDown returns as The Bloodline makes their entrance. The teams sort out and Dawkins starts with Tama. The bell rings, Tama rushes up but Dawkins dodges! Dawkins JABS, JABS, JABS and JABS! The fans fire up, Dawkins whips, but Tama reverses. Dawkins ducks ‘n’ dodges, then hurdles, then FLYING UPPERCUTS! The fans fire up and Dawkins CYCLONE SPLASHES in a corner! Then ENZIGIRIS! Tag to Ford, they whip Tama to run him over! Ford dares Solo to get in, then he fires off on Tama. Ford ROCKS Tama, RAMS into him again and again, then lets off, before he RAMS in again and again!
Tama CLUBS away on Ford, turns things around and he RAMS into Ford again and again! The ref counts, Tama lets off and he tags in Loa. The Guerillas DOUBLE HEADBUTT, then Loa fires off forearms in the corner. The ref counts, Loa lets off to scoop and SLAM! Tag to Tama and he slingshot SENTONS! Tama stalks Ford, ROCKS Ford, then whips corner to corner. Ford goes up and over, cartwheels and handsprings, then he LARIATS Tama down! The fans fire up as Ford drags Tama up. Tama shoves Ford, Ford ELBOWS back, then he swings on the Bloodline. Tama runs up, Ford DUMPS him out but Solo tags in!
Solo attacks Ford, SMACKS him off the apron again and again, then POSTS Ford! Solo soaks up the heat while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and Solo has Ford in a shoulder claw. Ford fights up to fight free, but Solo keeps him from his corner! Ford throws more hands, but Solo still holds on! Solo whips and SAMOAN DROPS! Cover, TWO! Ford stays in this and Kevin fires the fans up for him! But solo stomps Ford in a corner, goes corner to corner, and HIP ATTACKS! The fans boo but Solo soaks up the heat. Tag to Tama, he storms over, and Tama drags Ford up from the apron. Tama DECKS Ford, then brings him in to UPPERCUT! Tama scoops to SLAM Ford, then sits him up to run and SLIDING LARIAT! Tama sits Ford up, to run and SLIDING LARIAT again! Cover, TWO!
The fans continue to rally up for Ford, but Tama CLUBS away on Ford’s chest! Tama clamps on a chinlock but Ford fights up. Tama CLUBS Ford down, runs again, but Ford avoids the sliding lariat! Tama tumbles all the way out of the ring! The fans are thunderous as Ford flounders over, Tama hurries in to CLOBBER Dawkins! Tama then gets Ford up, back suplex! Ford lands out and ENZIGIRIS! Ford and Tama are both down and the fans are thunderous again! Ford and Tama crawl, hot tags to Kevin and Solo! Kevin dodges Solo to BLAST Loa, then he fires off on Solo with haymakers! Kevin stomps a mudhole into Solo, and the fans are going crazy!
Kevin runs corner to corner, CANNONBALL! Kevin goes up top, SWANTON BOMB! Cover, TWO! Solo survives but the fans are still hot as Kevin watches him. Solo rises, Kevin kicks low! STUN- NO, Solo powers out to SUPERKICK! Kevin SU PERKICKS! Solo LARIATS Kevin down! Solo roars, the fans boo, but Solo has that thumb ready! He stands Kevin up to SAMOAN- NO, Kevin ducks the spike to STUNNER!! Cover, Tama & Loa drag Kevin out! The Guerillas mug Kevin, send him into barriers, then mug him more! But then Dawkins POUNCES Loa! Tama fires off on Dawkins, Kevin goes after him! Those four are the corner, Ford FLIES out onto them all!!
The fans are electric as Ford rises, but Solo SMACKS him with a chair!!
Winners: Kevin Owens & The Street Profits, by disqualifications
Dawkins CLOBBERS Solo for that chair shot, then puts him in the ring! Dawkins fires fast hands from all sides, but Loa gets in to CLOBBER Dawkins! Loa beats down on Dawkins, the fans boo, but Solo has Loa let off. SAMOAN SPIKE!! The fans want “RANDY! RANDY!” to return but is The Viper in any shape for that? Ford returns but the Guerillas attack! They get Ford up, Solo grins then runs, to SPEAR!! A direct reference, and perhaps message, to THE Tribal Chief. But Kevin is still fighting! Tama jumps on, Loa throws hands, and then so does Solo! Kevin is mugged 3v1, and then Solo says bring him over to the desk!
Commentary is told to move so they move. Tama & Loa get Kevin up for Solo, another reference back to Roman Reigns! TRIPLE POWERBOMB through the desk!!! Solo, Tama & Loa stand tall over Kevin, putting up the ones. Is there no stopping this more bloodthirsty Bloodline?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown here, plenty of great stuff set up for Clash at the Castle. Cody wanting a fight with Styles rather than any kind of explanation was a natural response, and of course Styles makes this his way to the title match. But I really like that they’re going with an I Quit match, that is going to be some wild stuff. And good promo bit with Tiffany, Nia and Mia with Tiffy trying to cozy up to the Queen of the Ring while Nia taunts Mia with this Styles stuff. Nia VS Mia will be some good stuff, and there’s a good chance Tiffy ends up having to face Nia because Nia just can’t stand her trying to buddy up with her.
Great promo stuff from Bayley with Piper and Chelsea, but ugh the fans having to “WHAT?” Piper. I’m sure it’s cuz she’s the Heel but it came off like it was cuz of her Scottish accent and these are all Kentucky rednecks. Anyway, Chelsea of course gets herself into trouble with Naomi for a solid match there, and I wonder if Blair Davenport gets involved to start her own feud with Naomi. Great stuff with the Women’s Tag Division, too, with them calling an audible to make Jade VS Indi into Bianca & Jade VS Indi & Candice. Really good win for Bianca & Jade, really good brawl with the Raw teams, and a Triple Threat is probably a bit better than just 2v2 with Alba & Isla. If Alba & Isla aren’t gonna win, at least it won’t be their fault, Shayna & Zoey can take the loss.
Great stuff with Waller VS Gargano, especially with Theory biting the bullet for Waller. The A-Town Down Under break-up continues to progress, I bet it happens during the tag title match with DIY. Crews going from having a match to getting jumped by Legado is technically a shame for Crews but of course Legado was gonna do something like that, knowing Crews would certainly beat Angel 1v1. This could also be used to push a tag match, Angel & Humberto VS Andrade & Apollo, that then brings us to Andrade VS Santos. And great use of that mugging to give us Melo and Knight in a promo and then a match.
Melo looked good but Knight winning made sense since he also called out Logan. Logan had a good response, but a bit dim of him to say Knight should stay in the midcard while Logan is a midcard champion. Yeah, he’s a big name, he gets big attention, blah blah blah. But as the US Champion, he’s gonna run into Knight for the title eventually, and this will make for a big match in Cleveland at SummerSlam. And of course, great stuff with The Bloodline as always. Great promo from Heyman as he reluctantly acknowledges Solo Sikoa is the current Head of the Table, Tama Tonga is the new Right Hand Man, and Loa is basically the new Enforcer.
Great appearance from Kevin & The Profits, awesome Six Man Tag, and I should’ve figured it’d end in DQ, this formation of The Bloodline isn’t losing clean just yet. We can definitely get another Six Man Tag out of this, maybe make it a Street Fight, really go wild with it. Kevin and Solo should also have a 1v1 match to extend things. The fans want Roman back but I’m pretty sure we’re still gonna be waiting a month or so. There’s Money in the Bank, where this vicious Bloodline can try to win the briefcase, and maybe it’s SummerSlam where Roman makes his return, possibly with Jimmy Uso, and they start a real big Bloodline Civil War angle heading towards Survivor Series and what could be another WarGames match.
My Score: 8.8/10

Wait, are the fans throwing white streamers or is that… No, yeah, it’s toilet paper! Ospreay laughs at the fans basically calling Ricochet crap. Ricochet throws the toilet paper back! The bell rings and we’re on the clock. The fans fire up for Ospreay as he and Ricochet circle. The fans also sing, “F HIM UP, OSPREAY, F HIM UP!” Ricochet shrugs that off, he and Ospreay tie up, and then Ricochet rolls. Ospreay shoots in, waistlocks, but Ricochet switches. They go around, Ricochet gator rolls with Ospreay, then floats to a headlock. Ricochet wrenches, hammerlocks then headlocks again. Ospreay powers up and out, Ricochet runs him over, but Ospreay kips up!
The fans cheer and Ospreay smiles as he and Ricochet reset. They tie up, go around, and Ricochet wrenches to a wristlock. Ospreay rolls, wrenches and wristlocks, but Ricochet spins and wrenches to hammerlock. Ospreay reaches back, headlocks and hits a takeover. Ricochet rolls to a cover, TWO! Ospreay holds onto the headlock but Ricochet powers up and out. Ospreay runs Ricochet over, Ricochet bails out, and then Ospreay handsprings to fake Ricochet out! The fans cheer as Ospreay superhero lands out, and Ricochet is annoyed. Ospreay holds ropes open for Ricochet, but Ricochet goes around the way to step in on his own.
The fans boo Ricochet being a bad sport but Ricochet ignores that. Ospreay and Ricochet knuckle lock, then Ricochet kicks low! And CHOPS! Ricochet whips, Ospreay reverses, but Ricochet rolls off Ospreay’s back! Things keep moving, Ospreay avoids the handspring to then duck ‘n’ dodges and RANA! But Ricochet handsprings through! The fans fire up, and Ospreay arm-drags Ricochet down! The fans cheer while Ricochet endures the grind. Ricochet fights up and puts Ospreay on ropes. The ref counts, Ricochet and Ospreay slowly let g o, and Ricochet SLAPS Ospreay! Ospreay CHOPS Ricochet!
Ospreay takes a swing, Ricochet ducks under to roll back and RANA! But now Ospreay handsprings through! Ricochet dodges to waistlock but Ospreay bucks the O’Conner. Ricochet arm-drags Ospreay down, but Ospreay headscissors back! Ricochet pops free but Ospreay arm-drags! Ricochet headscissors, Ospreay pops free, and Ospreay handsprings, but Ricochet catches him! Ricochet then THROWS Ospreay into the Tree of Woe, and Ospreay falls down! The fans boo while Ospreay bails out, but Ricochet FOSBURY FLOPS! The fans boo but Ricochet takes the toilet paper to wipe himself, then he SMOTHERS Ospreay with it!
The fans boo that literally disgusting act of disrespect, but Collision goes picture in picture.
Ricochet taunts the fans, then drags Ospreay up. Ricochet puts Ospreay in, soaks up more heat, then KNEE-BOARD SENTONS! Ricochet swaggers to taunt the fans more, then he goes back to Ospreay. Cover, ONE!! Another cover, TWO! Ricochet taunts the fans more, then goes back for Ospreay. Ricochet stands Ospreay up to CHOP, and Ospreay goes to a corner. Ricochet RAMS into Ospreay, RAMS him again, then snapmares to UPPERCUT in the back! Cover, TWO! Ospreay stays in this but Ricochet drags him into a motorcycle stretch. Ospreay endures while Ricochet digs a knee into the back. Ospreay fights up, fights with elbows, then runs, but into a DROPKICK!
Ospreay is down in a daze but Ricochet has to shake out the stars in his own head. Ricochet covers, ONE! Ospreay then uses that one to flip off Ricochet. Ricochet RAMS Ospreay in the back! Ricochet then clamps on with a chinlock, and he digs his knee into Ospreay’s back. Ospreay endures, even as Ricochet JAMS Ospreay. Collision returns to single picture as the fans rally for Ospreay again. Ospreay fires up, fires hands, but Ricochet RAMS him into a corner. Ricochet runs up, RAMS into Ospreay, then goes to the apron. Ospreay takes a swing but Ricochet dodges and gets around him to GERMAN SUPLEX! Ospreay lands out!

The One & Only got away with murder, but there’s nothing that can be done now! Ricochet has NINE points, will he be headed to Worlds End?
Adam Cole heads to the ring!
The fans cheer as the Panama City Playboy returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom, and yes, they join in for the “BOOM~!” and the “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY~!” Cole grabs a mic, but he keeps his eyes on the ramp. That’s because we all know who’s next. MJF makes his entrance, but with a handful of security guards in front of him first. And not even AEW security, that’s his own personal security. MJF grabs a mic and has them cut his music. The fans boo but MJF tells them, “If I wanted your help, I’d ask for it. Sit down and shut up.” The fans tell MJF to STFU, but MJF shrugs that off.
MJF tells Cole that MJF is frustrated. It’s because for the past few months, MJF has had to listen to Cole say MJF is Cole’s biggest enemy! If memory serves, and MJF’s memory always does because unlike the fans here, he isn’t a complete moron… Didn’t Cole turn on MJF? But then does Cole realize he has bigger enemies out there? Like spray tan, cracks in the floor, gusts of win, and maybe… a cavity. Because last MJF heard, Cole’s dentist isn’t seeing him anymore. Cole was already staring daggers into MJF, but now he’s pissed. MJF has Cole calm down, and he tells the fans to shut up so he can shoot straight.
When MJF was the longest-reigning and greatest AEW World Champion of all time, Cole was nothing more than MJF’s cute little sidekick. That ate Cole up inside. Cole wanted to be MJF. Cole wanted #TripleB. But the sad truth is, Cole had many opportunities to win the title before MJF got anywhere near it. It’s almost like when it comes to Cole being elite enough to become world champion, just like his “s*itty little ankle,” Cole blows it. MJF laughs at his own joke, and then tells the fans he is talking, it is not that complicated. But this is why MJF doesn’t buy the hogwash that Cole turned on MJF because MJF would turn on Cole first.
Cole turned because he, like all these shmucks, is jealous of MJF. And who can blame Cole? MJF is rich, handsome, funny, entertaining, and then look at Cole. For crying out loud, Cole used to be ADAM COLE BAYBAY. Now, he’s just a crack baby! Cole asks if MJF is done. Was that the last line? Because it felt like MJF practiced that for two weeks in front of a mirror. But MJF killed it, really. Cole could come back with childish comments to hurt MJF’s feelings, but he won’t. Cole could mention MJF has had two surgeries on that fake head of hair of his while only in his 20s, which is hilarious, but he won’t.
Cole could talk about how MJF pulled some strings to get his girlfriend hired, like the real politician he is, but Cole won’t go there. Cole could talk about how every single time MJF enters a room, everyone waits for him to leave because he is loud, obnoxious and annoying as hell. But Cole won’t go there. Because Cole is not like MJF. They are nothing alike. That is why the friendship was ruined. Because, MJF, the truth is you say Cole is a failure, but in virtually every wrestling company Cole has worked for, he is the longest-reigning champion in so many!
In this very building, Cole bled BUCKETS against Kyle O’Reilly, wanting to prove he was one of the best in the world, and that is exactly what he did! Does Cole have regrets? Sure. Are there things Cole wishes he could take back? Absolutely. But Cole does NOT regret turning on MJF. The only reason it drives MJF insane is because Cole beat MJF to it. That’s MJF 101: Get close to someone, then turn on them. It’s what MJF does. Cole just did it better than MJF, and MJF knows it.
But Cole has been thinking, trying to understand what’s going on in MJF’s head, and he finally figured it out. MJF is terrified of having anyone close to him, because he feels it is a weakness. That hit a chord? Because not only does MJF act like a child, he thinks like a child! MJF knows in his heart that he was going to be the one to turn on Cole first! DAMN RIGHT HE WAS!!! MJF realizes he let the cat out of the bag. MJF says congrats, Cole, he solved the mystery! A regular Scooby-Doo! Great job, Adam.
But you want the truth? Here it is. The fact of the matter is, last year at Worlds End, MJF had every intention on stabbing Cole in the back that night. Cole just got lucky. When #BetterThanYouBaybay started, MJF didn’t give a damn about Cole. Cole was nothing more than a pawn. But MJF will admit, he did eventually start to care. For the first time in MJF’s life, he cared about someone else. Fans mockingly go, “Aww…” But MJF says that is just when Cole became a liability. And since Cole’s “a fragile little freak,” him jumping off that ramp and exploding his ankle made him a distraction!
Distractions, liabilities, emotions, there are no room for those when all you should be concerned with is maintaining the world championship! But Cole doesn’t get it, does he? Last year was a fluke. Cole ain’t the Devil, he just beat the Devil to it. But this year, Worlds End, December 28th, the same show where Cole tried to end MJF’s world, MJF ENDS Cole!! MJF throws down the mic and the fans are torn. Cole smirks and says MJF ends things then? Well, how about Cole ends this? COLE DECKS MJF! The guards rush in, but Cole fights them off! MJF sends more but Cole SUPERKICSK! And SUPERKICKS! And SUPERKICKS!
But then MJF LOW BLOWS Cole! MJF tells the fans to shut up! MJF takes out the Dynamite Diamond Ring! But then The Kingdom rushes out here! MJF runs away from Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but he vows this ends at Worlds End. We have one week left, is that the last week Cole has in AEW? Or will MJF finally lose the one thing he has left in that diamond ring?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Lexy Nair is with the #BornAgainKristen and brings up her trying to make amends with Willow Nightingale last night, as well as making the save when Harley Cameron & Penelope Ford were beating Willow up. Kris says what she and Willow have to discuss is between them. But as far as her and Penelope go, they’ve got a lot of history, and if Ford wants a fight, Kris will give her a fight. Then speaking of history, Kris still has her eyes set on the TBS Championship, can she tells us more on that?
Kris says she looked back on 2024 and she had a downward spiral that started with losing that title. Maybe if she wins it back, Kris will right her wrongs. On that note, Mercedes Mone, you don’t have an opponent for Worlds End so here Kris is. Let her know when you’re ready for round two. Kris heads out, will she prove to everyone that she is still the Galaxy’s Greatest?

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring!
Schiavone welcomes out the Blue League’s current points leader, Kyle Fletcher, and of course… Don Callis. But they’re not alone as the rest of the Don Callis Family makes their way out to the ring. Wait, shouldn’t Brian Cage be in New York for Final Battle…? Well anyway, Schiavone says there’s a lot of gold and- Callis takes the mic, and he says, “I have something important to say.” The fans boo and Schiavone excuses himself as Callis says the Don Callis Family are the TRUE One Percenters of professional wrestling! They prove it each and every day!
Murder Machines: The most feared tag team in the world! “Don Callis’ favorite wrestler,” Kyle Fletcher, shows every day why he is THE One Percent! He beat Will Ospreay! He beat Kazuchika Okada! And now, he’s gonna beat Daniel Garcia and win the Continental Classic! Callis hands the mic over to Kyle and Kyle says it might be true that last Saturday wasn’t the best day for Kyle, but anyone watching that match saw the clear bias from the officials in this company! The fans boo as Kyle claims there is an agenda in AEW to see the Don Callis Family NOT succeed. But it doesn’t matter, it changes nothing!
Kyle WILL be the winner of the 2024 Continental Classic. That brings Kyle to Daniel Garcia. “You wanna talk about restoring the feeling, Daniel? I couldn’t care less about your feelings! All I speak are facts! And the fact is, I am the hottest young prospect in this industry, and I will be the future of this whole place!” The fans boo more but Callis says one last thing he wants to say, is when you’re the One Percent, you’re not like the other 99! They are not like all of these fans! They are not like “the boys in the back,” like Mark Davis & Will Hobbs, “a couple of scab workers!” They’re not even in the same business, Hobbs!
And Callis has waited to get Hobbs on a PPV so that the world could watch why they call Konosuke Takeshita “The Alpha.” And Hobbs, YOU are not in the same business as Konosuke, and you find that out at Worlds End! But speaking of, here comes the Powerhouse! Will he and Dunkzilla finish things with the Don Callis Family? Or will the AEW International and ROH World TV Champions get even for last week?
Konosuke Takeshita & Brian Cage w/ Don Callis VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs & Mark Davis!

The fans cheer for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” and Hobbs ROCKS Konosuke! Hobbs even shouts “MEAT!” before he whips Konosuke. Konosuke ducks ‘n’ dodges but then so does Hobbs! Hobbs SPINE- NO, Konosuke flails free and Hobbs says it was that close. Konosuke says to cool off while he paces on the outside. Konosuke steps back into the ring, but he tags to Cage. The fans stay fired up for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Cage and Hobbs circle.
Hobbs and Cage DOUBLE LARIAT! Neither man falls, so they DOUBLE LARIAT again! And again! And again! Cage kicks low, shouts, “Who Betta Than Cage?” But then Hobbs CLOBBERS him! Hobbs even gets Konosuke to back down with a glare. Hobbs brings Cage up to fire forearms, then he tags Davis. Davis & Hobbs double whip and DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up as Davis stalks Cage to a corner. Davis CHOPS Cage, and CHOPS again! And CHOPS again! Cage sputters but Davis scoops to SLAM Cage down! Then ELBOW DROP! Cover, ONE! Cage stays in this but Davis bumps him off buckles.
Tag to Hobbs and he brings Cage out. Hobbs and Davis reel Cage in, fans chant “AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE! MEAT MEAT MEAT!” but Konosuke makes the save!

Cage rains down fists, the ref reprimands, but Cage steps off. Cage drags Hobbs up, bumps him off buckles, and tags Konosuke.

Cage ROCKS Hobbs again, Hobbs fires back, repeat! The fans rally for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Cage gets the edge, then whips, but Hobbs KICKS him away! Cage swings, Hobbs bobs ‘n’ weaves, to then hit an EXPLODER!
The fans fire up while Hobbs crawls, hot tag to Davis! Davis fires hands on Cage, “MEAT! MEAT!” Davis DECKS Cage, then whips him to ropes. Cage reveres but Davis picks him up, BACKDROP! Davis SENTONS but onto knees! Davis writhes, Cage tags Konosuke! POWER- NO, Davis stops the knee! Davis takes a swing but Konosuke ducks that, to BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! High stack, TWO!!

Renee Paquette is with the Babe with the Power who is in action later tonight. But first, Renee wants to congratulate Willow to making it to the finals of the inaugural International Women’s Cup. She heads off to Tokyo very soon, how is she feeling about it? Willow is very excited. Inaugural WrestleDynasty, one step closer to the inaugural International Women’s Cup winner, and so it is mind boggling after how- Kris Statlander steps in. Kris tells Willow that there is a lot she should say, but for now, she’ll say good luck at the Tokyo Dome. #BornAgainKristen takes Willow by surprise, will Willow win tonight and have momentum going to the New Year?
Lio Rush & Action Andretti VS Myles Hawkins & Goldy!
The dysfunction in Top Flight Airlines led to The Bad Child & The Sight to See winning over Darius & Dante Martin, meaning they’re next up to face Private Party. Will this be little more than a tune-up for Lio & Action?
The teams sort out, Lio starts against Myles, but then Lio handspring kicks Goldy off the apron! Myles back suplexes but Lio lands out and then dodges! Myles falls out of the ring, Action handspring kicks him down! Lio DIVES onto Goldy! Action DIVES onto Myles! The fans fire up as Action puts Myles in fast. Lio joins Action and they mug Myles. Myles fights back with forearms and CHOPS! Myle runs, but Lio & Action split the difference. Lio spins Myles for Action to mule kick, knee lift and ROLLING ELBOW! Lio fires fast hands, then DECKS Myles! Goldy springboards but Lio & Action dodge! Lio eggs Goldy on, then he and Action split the difference again!
Action runs up, Goldy dodges, but Lio LARIATS Goldy on the other side! Myles whips Lio but Lio hits RUSH HOUR! Action torture racks Myles for a NECKBREAKER! Lio covers, Lio & Action win!
Winners: Lio Rush & Action Andretti, by pinfall
Fast win for this furious duo, but “Oh my gosh, is that Private Party?” Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make their way out here and DC fires up! The AEW World Tag Team Champions call for “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” Lio & Action get their shot in the near future, but wait! Dante & Darius make their way out here? Private Party looks to the tunnels, but Lio & Action CLOBBER them from behind! Dante, Darius & Leila don’t worry about the champs, they stare Lio & Action down. Lio & Action hold up the belts, then throw them at the Martins. The refs keep this from getting any more physical, but will Lio & Action take those belts from Quen & Zay soon enough?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is now with the “multifaceted” Harley and notes she’s in action against Willow Nightingale tonight. Harley says yes, she IS multifaceted. She wants us to appreciate ALL her facets! Renee says yes, but she has yet to earn a singles win in AEW. Fine, ruin her fun. But then Harley asks if some person off camera is gonna say anything or just stand there. In steps Penelope Ford, and Mrs. Superbad says yes, she was simply observing. But Ford couldn’t help but notice that she and Harley share a lot of similar… facets. Harley asks how much Ford’s cost. Uh, no, not those…
Ford meant that she hasn’t had such a good 2024, either. So from The Bad Girl to the… Harley doesn’t have a good nickname yet. Well, don’t worry about it. Ford will watch Harley’s back and Harley will watch Ford’s. Wait, is something on Harley’s back? No, Harley… Just good luck. FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAMERON! No, she was being nice to you, Harley. Right, don’t feel the wrath of Harley Cameron. There is nothing on your back, Harley, stop scratching. Wait! W-What? Nothing, sorry. But will Harley be feeling Willow’s wrath instead?
Willow Nightingale VS Harley Cameron!
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two tie up. Harley pushes but Willow digs in her heels to SHOVE Harley down. Harley comes back, she and Willow reset and tie up again.

Willow faced the wrath of Harley Cameron and she prevailed! But then PENELOPE FORD goes after Willow! The fans boo but Ford did say she’d back Harley up. They both beat up on Willow, but here comes Kris! Kris Statlander storms the ring, Harley & Ford run away! Willow is again surprised, but the fans want these two to “Hug It Out! Hug It Out!” Kris says no, she doesn’t feel like it’s the right time. Kris lets Willow have the ring, is this proof that the #BornAgainKristen isn’t just a nickname?
Team Triple J speaks backstage.
Standing alongside Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, as well as Jeff & Karen Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt says, “They’ve asked us to look back and reflect on 2024, and Jeff, guys, what an incredible series of moments we’ve had in 2024.” The group agrees. From Wembley Stadium to Double J being in the Owen Hart Cup, some true career highlights that he will cherish forever. But Jarrett doesn’t like looking in the rearview mirror, he likes to look ahead. Next week, he’s not bringing resolutions, he’s bringing a game plan for 2025! What does the Last Outlaw have in store for himself and the team in the New Year?
AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Brody King VS Komander!
While the rest of Gold League stands at 6 points, these two men are struggling to keep up. Will the King of Death join that traffic jam at the front of the block? Or will the Commander of the Skies be a spoiler for Christmas?

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