It’s the Money in the Bank Countdown Show!
Join Michael Cole, Wade Barrett, Big E & Jackie Redmond in discussing, analyzing and predicting all the high stakes action here in Toronto!
Michael Cole interviews Seth Rollins.
Cole said it has been a few eventful months while Rollins was away. Rollins says you are always a bit nervous coming back, but he was welcomed with opened arms. Don’t get him wrong, he enjoyed his time off with his family, but there’s nothing like the energy from the fans. That is where Seth comes alive. Cole asks how the family is feeling. Becky Lynch has stepped away from WWE after losing the title, taking care of their daughter, how is The Man feeling? She’s great. Rollins can’t speak to Becky’s future, her plans, but she and the little one are great. Their daughter is now three years old and running the show.
Cole says this is an emotional weekend WrestleMania was. Walk us through the night one main event and that great tag match. It was cold, first of all. Then there was this bigness, but also Rollins felt at home, that he was where he was mean tot be. Adrenaline got him through the night, the result wasn’t what they wanted, but it set the table for night two. Yes, and less than 24 hours, Rollins kicks off Mania, has to turn right around from his grueling tag match. How was his mindset for such a big match? Rollins remembers sitting, and while Mania has been two nights for awhile, he has never had to go back to back before.
Usually there is this breath you take and you go, “Whew, we did it.” But then he realized no, he had to come back the next night. it was going to be an uphill battle for sure. Cole says many times it is back to back nights, but Mania is where you leave it all out there. And doing that in the main event of one and the opener of the other, why’d Rollins choose to do that? Rollins says he had a duty to the World Heavyweight Championship, to give it a presence at Mania, and he wasn’t about ot vacate. And there’s always a puncher’s chance you win. McIntyre could’ve made a mistake, but he didn’t until after.
But why get in the business of The Bloodline? Why does Rollins do that? Rollins says it felt important. To move things forward, they needed to end Roman’s reign. Rollins was willing yo sacrifice his own well-being to do some good. And fortunately, he was right. Then fast-forward to the end of that night two. Roman’s obsession with Rollins cost him. How did that feel? It was a catharsis. If Rollins could just tip the scale, get a chair in there, that’d make Roman lose his focus and Cody could win. A bittersweet story for Rollins, but at least Cody got to #FinishHisStory. There might’ve been envy there, but Rollins was very happy for Cody.
And after that, for the first time in 12 years, Rollins felt he could rest. He got the surgery and he was okay. The interview will continue so stay tuned.
Backstage interview with Sami Zayn.
Cathy Kelley says it’s already been quite the week for the Great Liberator. He had a great night on Thursday with his comedy show, but now he must gear up for his Intercontinental Championship match against Bron Breakker, how is he handling having to deal with such different undertakings? Sami says it has been hard. The last ten days even have been difficult. These are really different things to prepare for. A comedy show takes one mindset, it was a lot of fun, but now he has to prepare for the lion’s den. Sami is aware of the physical threat Bron poses. But the comedy show is done, it is almost time, adrenaline is kicking in with some nerves, too.
Sami doesn’t wanna sound overconfident, but he doesn’t see him leaving his home country without this title. Cathy thanks him for his time, and sends it to Jackie Redmond.
Backstage interview with Bron Breakker.
Jackie says Bron has been a wrecking ball since coming to Raw, but perhaps going into this match, Sami has the experience edge. What is his response? Bron says of course Sami has that advantage, he’s been all over the world for quite some time. But Sami’s never been in the ring with an athlete like Bron. Someone among the top athletes to ever live on this planet, will be here in Sami’s home country. That’ll just make it sweeter when Bron takes that title and becomes the NEW Intercontinental Champion. Jackie thanks Bron for his time, will Sami’s 90 day reign come to a fast yet brutal end?
Shawn Michaels joins the panel!
The fans fire up for HBK and Cole says HBK has a huge weekend, too, as NXT Heatwave is tomorrow night. NXT and Toronto have had a great relationship, and DIY even won the WWE Tag Team Championships here last night. HBK says Heatwave is big, all title matches. Trick Williams is setting a new standard as he defends the NXT Championship in a Fatal 4 Way against Toronto’s own Shawn Spears, another Canadian in Ethan Page, and the Young OG, Je’Von Evans. Roxanne Perez defends her NXT Women’s Championship against Lola Vice. Plus, the NXT Tag Team Championships and both North American titles are also on the line.
Cole notes how impressive Oba Femi is, and HBK says that is proof that the NIL system is working. Oba has been doing this for just a year, but he is already so impressive, so dominant, and is only getting better. HBK loves Wes Lee, Wes was a fantastic champion, but he has his work cut out for himself against such a behemoth as Oba. Things are only heating up in Toronto, will we see someone melt under the spotlight?
Backstage interview with Jey Uso.
Cathy Kelley is with Main Event Jey Uso and says this is his first MITB match. Monday, Jey said he was confident he’d walk away with the contract, how would that change his trajectory? Big time! He could get his first singles title. But tonight is the night. No more talk. He’s gonna snatch the YEET-case and become Mr. Mon-YEET in the Bank! YEET! Jey is ready to win it all, will he pull it off?
It’s part two of Michael Cole interviewing Seth Rollins.
Cole has The Visionary talk now on El Campeon, Damian Priest. The two of them have one thing in common, in that they’re the only men to cash-in during WrestleMania. How would Rollins rate Priest’s performance since wining the world title? Rollins remembers his first run. It is very different imagining your first run and then actually having that run. Is Priest just a transitional champion? Who knows if there’s such a thing. Yes, McIntyre believes in such things but he’s also a bitter, bitter man. Priest has done well, but when you look at the title defenses against Jey Uso and against Drew McIntyre, Priest needed help. Priest may not have wanted the help, but it is what it is.
Priest has done an admirable job but Rollins feels very confident going into MITB. So much so, there is the gentlemen’s agreement: Rollins loses, he can no longer challenge while Priest is champion; Priest loses, he must leave Judgment Day. Rollins says he sees potential in Priest. But many times, you have to step out on your own, away from what is safe and comfortable, to reach that potential. Rollins knows from coming in with The Shield, it is great o have those you can depend on. But that legacy is not your own. Priest needs to create his own legacy. Win, lose or draw, Priest learns something about himself, he will learn to stand on his own two feet.
Speaking of legacies, Cole wants to talk Rollins’ legacy. The World Heavyweight Championship for Rollins meant fighting every single night. He’s come back and reset. Has he reexamined what he wants now? Let’s be honest, this could be his final big run. Rollins chuckles and says he feels he’s just hit his prime. But yes, there is more behind him than ahead of him. He has thought about his legacy, and he is back to win that world title to add to his legacy and build upon everything he’s done. Then what if he doesn’t beat Priest tonight? He hadn’t thought that far yet. He feels very confident in himself, he really does.
He’s lost as many titles as he has won. If he can’t, then he reevaluates and figures out how to move forward. But he put that pressure on himself because that is when he does his best work. Winning gives us Rollins VS Gunther at SummerSlam. That is a dream match for Rollins, he hopes that is everyone’s dream match, and Rollins has wrestled just about everybody. If and when Rollins gets his title back, he will be very excited to face Gunther at SummerSlam. Cole thanks Rollins for his time and wishes him luck in moving that legacy forward. Will The Visionary, The Revolutionary, Seth Freakin’ Rollins, find a way to #BurnItDown once again?
Backstage interview with Tiffany Stratton.
Cathy says The Center of the Universe has defied expectations as a new superstar, but is she at all concerned about the other five competitors tonight? Tiff says she is most certainly NOT concerned. The others should be worried about her as the most gifted superstar, and that will be on full display when she climbs the ladder, grabs the briefcase, and makes it Tiffy in the Bank. Tootles. Tiff heads out, Cathy spots LA Knight and hopes for an interview. Will WWE have to accept that it is #TiffyTime?
Backstage interview with LA Knight.
Cathy has caught up with The Mega Star and says even Knight feels Jey Uso is the favorite going into this. But does that change Knight’s confidence in himself at all? First and foremost, LEMME TALK TO YA! Here’s the thing. MITB is upon us, you talk about last night, Knight saying Jey is a favorite. Knight has eyes and ears, but he knows the fans will go “YEAH!” and yeah, they’ll “YEET!” The fans are pulling for both of them neck and neck but that doesn’t matter. Knight walked in, told us on day one, even last night, the fans can say this and that, the superstars can say this and that. But Knight has been MONEY since day one!
He’ll get that briefcase because no one else can, with everybody saying “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!” Confident as always, will we soon see a Mega Star in the Bank?
Trish Stratus is here!
Toronto’s own gets a hero’s welcome and she has the mic to say she isn’t really sure what to say. Other than, you’re welcome. It is so good to be home! And she is so excited that she gets to be the one to welcome us all to a night that will change WWE forever. Welcome to Money in the Bank! And singing the Star Spangled Banner, many who have given Trish many a great introduction, WWE’s own Samantha Irvin. A wonderful job from Samantha, and to sing O Canada, the Ontario native, Ryland James. Another wonderful job, and now, time for the show!
WWE presents: “The Heist.”
“Okay, here’s how the story goes so try and keep up. And I mean all the way up. Cuz up here is what everyone wants. And to get it, it’s more than just a classic smash ‘n’ grab. You gotta battle your way up, fly your way up, climb your way and crash your way. Do anything your way, past five other superstars. Cuz you get this, and you might get one of these. And lemme tell ya, everyone wants one of those. But be careful, because everyone will wanna piece of you, too. So stay sharp, stay focused, because one wrong step, and it’s a one way ticket to Oh… My… God! Whoever said money isn’t everything never had the money.”
Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Drew McIntyre VS Jey Uso VS Chad Gable VS LA Knight VS Andrade VS Carmelo Hayes!
The Scottish Terminator is pissed that CM Punk screwed him over at WrestleMania and then again at Clash at the Castle, so he will destroy everyone in his way!

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Sami Zayn VS Bron Breakker!
The Great Liberator is no stranger to being an underdog. At WrestleMania, Sami had to face Der Ring General, a man who was unstoppable for 667 DAYS, but Sami stopped him! However, the Big Bad Booty Nephew also has a win over Gunther under his belt. Does that mean Bron will take this belt from Sami? Or can the underdog find a way to survive this hungry dog?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who has true strength!
The bell rings and the fans rally for Sami as he circles with Bron. The fans sing “OLE! OLE OLE OLE~!” and then the two tie up. Bron TOSSES Sami away and the fans are torn between booing and barking.

Sami staggers up, Bron storms over, but Sami CHOPS! And CHOPS!

Both men are down on the outside and fans bark it up again!
The ring count returns, and Bron sits up at 4 of 10. Bron drags Sami up and in at 5, then vows to end this. The fans boo but Bron takes aim. Sami stands, Bron runs in, but Sami BOOTS him! Sami reels Bron in for a BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Bron stays in this and Sami is beside himself! Sami snarls, drags Bron up, but Bron RAMS him into a corner!

Bron gets space, runs up, goes up and up, SUPER STEINER! Cover, TWO! Sami survives and the fans fire up!
Bron grits his teeth, clutches a knee, he had his own hard landing. “This is Awesome!” as Bron huffs ‘n’ puffs. Bron throws down fists, then he stalks Sami to ropes.

Another heroic win from behind by Sami and Toronto celebrates! Will Sami continue to knuckle up and knock off powerful opponent after powerful opponent?
Trish Stratus is back!
The host of MITB stands on stage and the fans again cheer. “As your hostess with the mostess, I have a question for you guys: Are we having fun?” The fans cheer again! Trish says a lot of special things have happened already tonight, and she’s had a lot of special things happen here in this very arena. Two-time Women’s Champion, retirement match, a match against Charlotte Flair. And there was the one time when she was a mystery partner for a certain someone. Who was that again? Oh yes, please welcome the SIXTEEN TIME WWE CHAMPION, JOHN CENA!! The fans go nuts as yes, THE John Cena is back in Toronto!
Cena holds up the towel, and it now says, “The Last Time is Now.” Cena nods, because it is the hard truth. But he still runs and slides into the ring like always! The fans are thunderous, hitting those triple digit decibels, and Cena gets a mic. Cena says they are in a singing mood here tonight! It sounds like Toronto showed up to sing. The fans chant for “CENA! CENA!” Oh, course correction: they came here to make some noise! But why is Cena here? Well, he is officially announcing his retirement from the WWE. The fans boo, they don’t wanna hear that! Cena says he hears a mixed opinion out there right now.
There are a lot of questions, too, right? Like, why here? He wants to talk about that, why it is Toronto. And Canada in general. And just Canadians in general. See, Cena’s been doing this a long time. Over TWO DECADES. Cena has seen waves of prosperity like we have right now. WWE is the hottest ticket in town, no doubt. But he has also seen tremendous hardship. No one knows your name, no one wants to be your friend, and only the most hardcore fans stand by your side. So in all those years, one of the most important and impressive things Cena has learned, is that whether the WWE Universe is hot or cold, Canadians always show up.
The fans cheer that! Cena says they need to make that noise for themselves, because they built this to what it is today, which makes this the perfect place to say what he’s gotta say. But then, why now? Because it is Money in the Bank! The ultimate symbol of opportunity! And this farewell doesn’t end tonight. It is filled with opportunity! Raw makes history when it moves to Netflix! Cena’s never been part of that, that is history, and he will be there! And along with that historic first, there will be unforgettable lasts. The 2025 Royal Rumble will be Cena’s last. The 2025 Elimination Chamber will be Cena’s last.
And Cena is here to announce that yes, WrestleMania 2025 in Las Vegas will be Cena’s last WrestleMania. He knows, that is a lot to take in. A lot m ore questions out there, so he is telling us now, he kicks off tonight’s press conference to field any and all questions having to do with his retirement. Do not miss that. But in the theme of opportunity, he takes advantage of this opportunity here. He wants to say, “Thank you.” The fans chant “Thank You, Cena!” Cena smiles, and says what an incredible gesture. He thanks them back. Thank you for letting him play in the house that they built for so many years.
Cena thanks us all for always giving our voice, because it is loud, and our honesty because it is brutal. And most of all, thank you for allowing him to be here tonight. Let the whole world know that they are planning something unforgettable, including a return to Toronto to kick some ass! SO… If you are watching at home or are one of the insanely loud Toronto fans, or if you’re a WWE Superstar, if you want some and hurry up and get some! The last time is NOW! Cena has given us his deadline, how epic will his in-ring finale be?
Judgment Day hangs out in the clubhouse.
Finn Balor tells El Campeon that tonight is MITB, and that means one thing: Time to PUNISH Seth Rollins! Priest agrees, and tells the guys that McIntyre or not, everyone stays out of this. No one gets involved. And that includes Finn. Finn says they’ve got him. Priest heads out to handle business, and Finn mutters, “Whatever you want, boss.” Will Priest return to the clubhouse still El Campeon? Or will he be the one punished for betting it all?

Priest slaps Rollins around and the fans boo.
Rollins fires back! The fans fire up as the forearms go back and forth! Rollins fires a flurry, but Priest roars! So Rollins SLAPS him! Priest is pissed, and he KICKS the superkick! Then he KCISK and KICKS and KICKS Rollins from all sides! Priest winds up, but Rollins SUPERKICKS! Priest rebounds to SPIN KICK! Rollins rebounds, into a SPIN KICK! Priest choke grips, SOUTH OF- NO, Rollins pops free! Rollins has the underhooks, but Priest back drops free! But Rollins is right up! CURB STOMP!! Rollins hurries to cover, TWO?!? Priest survives and Rollins can’t believe it! “This is Awesome!” as Rollins refocuses.

WrestleMania, Clash at the Castle, and now Money in the Bank! Three times McIntyre has tried to become World Heavyweight Champion, and all three times, he lets CM Punk get the better of him! The problem is, Priest’s win means this is also Rollins’ loss! El Campeon has a clear path to SummerSlam now, still leading Judgment Day forward. Will Gunther have his work cut out for him in Cleveland? And speaking of this being Rollins’ loss, he is pissed at Punk! Will Punk have two dangerous men aiming for his head now?
Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Iyo Sky VS Lyra Valkyria VS Zoey Stark VS Naomi VS Tiffany Stratton VS Chelsea Green!
The Evil Genius was last year’s Miss MITB, and we saw her take down The EST to become WWE Women’s Champion. Will it be even sweeter this year when she could go after Bayley? Or will history be kept from repeating itself when someone new brings down that golden ticket?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Then everyone but Chelsea go out to get a ladder. The Hot Mess tries to jump for it but no, that’s why ladders are involved.

Chelsea CLUBS Naomi, RAMS her into steps, then stomps away! Chelsea and Tiff work together because it’s table time! They set one table up, making sure it is just right. Then they get the second table, and again make sure it is just right. But Zoey has the ladders up! Lyra and Zoey race up the rungs, but they slap and forearm each other! Iyo SPRINGBOARDS to a ladder! They all meet at the top, so Chelsea and Tiff hurry to join in!
They brawl, a ladder bridge is established, and we know from the men’s match how those work… Chelsea SLAPS, Iyo SLAPS, they brawl! Iyo SMACKS Chelsea off a buckle but Chelsea ELBOWS back! Cheslie runs, but Iyo FLAPJACKS her off the bridge! Zoey trips Tiff, to CATAPULT her into a bridge! Lyra is up at the top of a ladder! Zoey hurries to drag her back down but Lyra kicks her away!

The tables Tiff & Chelsea set up! Tiff takes the briefcase and WINS!!
Winner: Tiffany Stratton (2024 Miss Money in the Bank)
Just as Chelsea got over her fear of heights, she was sent crashing down to Earth quite literally! Tiffany is now The Princess in the Bank! But will she use this golden ticket to truly become The Center of the Universe?
Backstage interview with Trish Stratus.
Jackie Redmond is a big fan, and it has been electric here. What does Trish make of the crowd? Trish says it is because the fans are so great. Tiff says shouldn’t they be talking to her, the NEW Miss MITB? Maybe “Trishy” should be saying something to her? Never mind, Tiff is already the talk of the internet and her win has gone viral. Trish says don’t get ahead of yourself, and don’t be too arrogant. It is what happens when you cash in that determines if you’ll be a Hall of Famer, like Trish, or just another flash in the pain. Tiff says isn’t it a shame that Trish’s time is long gone? And Tiffy Time has only just begun. Tootles!
Six Man Tag: Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton & Kevin Owens VS The Bloodline!
The American Nightmare, The Viper & The Prizefighter all know what it is to fight The Bloodline that is the Samoan Dynasty in WWE. However, that was all with Roman Reigns in charge. Solo Sikoa claims that HE is the Tribal Chief, the Head of the Table, and the one calling the shots from now on. But will Solo, “Right Hand Man” Tama Tonga, and “Samoan Werewolf” Jacob Fatu really dominate SmackDown and the WWE? Or will Cody, Randy & Kevin #JustKeepFighting until this tyranny is gone for good?
The fans sing along with Randy’s theme, but also with Cody’s, “WHOA~ OH~!” And even as the singing continues, Kevin just glares at The Bloodline. Orton coaxes Kevin to go to the corner, and he does.

Winners: The Bloodline, by pinfall
Cody, Randy & Kevin did #JustKeepFighting, but this more brutal, more ruthless, more remorseless Bloodline still dominated. Solo is adorned with the ula fala once again, but now that he has pinned THE WWE Champion, will Solo soon be adorned with the title?
My Thoughts:
An incredible night for Money in the Bank, and so much has been set up not just for SummerSlam but for even beyond that in some cases. For one, John Cena with not just the surprise appearance, but a surprising announcement. Like Bryan Danielson in AEW, Cena has given us his notice of retirement. One last year for Cena, I never thought I’d see the day. Well okay it had to happen at some point but it’s still surreal. If he chooses to be in the Royal Rumble match itself, he’ll surely have a good showing, but I can’t be sure he wins it. Same for Elimination Chamber. Though, maybe he’ll just focus on building dream 1v1 matches for each event, going big for his retirement match in Vegas.
Great Intercontinental Championship match for Sami and Bron, and the go-home math from Raw of course indicated Bron was losing. However, I’m rather surprised it was so clean cut. I would’ve thought they’d want to protect Bron with either controversy or a “Dusty Finish.” But instead, Sami straight up stops the powerhouse and moves on to SummerSlam with this title. Maybe Bron forces a second match, maybe Sheamus gets a shot to see if he can finally complete the ultimate WWE checklist. Oddly enough, John Cena’s never had that Intercontinental Championship either, and Cena helped get Sami going on main roster… Sami could return the favor by helping see Cena off into the sunset…
Great stuff in both Money in the Bank Ladder matches, but I feel I need to plead with the entirety of pro-wrestling when it comes to ladder matches. Between the two tonight in WWE and then AEW having the TNT Championship ladder match, these ladder matches are getting scary. I really thought Lyra broke her arm tonight when she landed awkwardly on the ladder, and then I thought Zoey concussed herself when she landed awkwardly right after. In the Women’s match, I had been saying that story wise, Tiffy having the briefcase while palling around with Nia Jax made a lot of sense. But hearing Toronto be so fired up for Chelsea, I kinda wanted her to win. Tiffy Time is happening, we can’t get away from it, and there’s a chance Tiffy picks the bones of Bayley after Nia does a lot of damage.
Speaking of which… Great stuff in the men’s match, also still painful to watch, but I knew the go-home math had it right. Jey and Knight stood tall last night, so they weren’t getting it. Therefore, McIntyre winning the briefcase was the logical move. And while Rollins VS Priest was going great, the ref did basically save Priest from that kickout botch, and then we go with a Triple Threat so that CM Punk could once again screw McIntyre over. As redundant as it was, a lot of people figured that’s where the story was going so why not just do it. But I do appreciate that they’re doubling down because now we can circle back to Rollins hating Punk, and maybe we get a Triple Threat or something for SummerSlam.
And now with no Mr. MITB, the top champions are safe, and we got a great Six Man Tag main event. Jacob is big, Jacob is fast, Jacob is strong, he should get a title for himself at some point. But with it technically being 4v3 because of Loa, Bloodline of course won. I will say, Loa needs to work on his cliche Heel tactics. His low blow started as a punch to Kevin’s butt and then became a proper low blow, but hey, a dirty win for the Heels was of course happening. Solo gets his pin on Cody, he’ll be getting his title shot at SummerSlam, and then maybe, just maybe, Roman Reigns returns to confront Solo over this claim to the Head of the Table.
My Score: 9.2/10

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?
Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
AEW returns and Lexy is now with Freshly Squeezed. In exactly one week, he will compete against three other men for the AEW World Championship. There are a lot of combustible elements at play, and Cassidy says yeah, we saw that on Dynamite. Jay White, Hangman Page and Cassidy can’t exactly have a conversation. So really, Cassidy wants them to listen. “Between now and Worlds End, Jon Moxley can run and hide. He can hide behind his goons, he can run away in a pickup truck. But when that bell rings in seven days, he has nowhere to go. He will be in the ring with us. Us three. And you both know that we need to remove Jon Moxley from the equation.
“We can. We’ve done it. And after that, us three, we can fight for the AEW World Championship and one of us will become the AEW World Champion. Just something to think about. See you guys on Dynamite.” Cassidy is ready to remove the Maniac from the throne, but will the Switchblade and Cowboy listen to reason?
Kris Statlander VS Penelope Ford!
As Kris just said, she’s calling out The CEO in hopes of one more TBS Championship match. But will the Superbad Girl be more like the Grinch for Kris this Christmas?

Ford gave Kris quite the fight, but Kris came out on top! Wait, here comes Mone! Kris did call the CEO out, so Santa Mone says, “Ho, ho, ho ho ho! New York Citaaaay~! Please say hello to your C E O! Kris, after the year I’ve been having, I was planning on taking Worlds End off. I was planning on going to the Ritz in Boston.” The fans boo Boston, but Mone says since it’s the holidays, Mone feels like being nice. She already beat Kris once anyway, so she’ll just beat her twice! At Worlds End, you see that money changes everything, because Mone is the greatest TBS Champion of all time!
The challenge has been accepted, and Mone is looking to be busy before the New Year. Will Kris make her regret it?
Big Boom AJ & Big Justice return to the ring.
They’re getting Christmas Collision ready to bring the BOOM, but out comes Chris Jericho, who is still ROH World Champion after overcoming Matt Cardona last night at Final Battle. And he has Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey with him as he asks if AJ has a permit for being here tonight. Did they talk with Mayor DeBlasio? Because they certainly didn’t run this past Jericho. Do they know who he is? Big Justice says yeah, he knows! “You’re a JACKASS!” Jericho is taken aback, but the fans agree with Justice. The Bad Apple says this is why dumbass kids should be sitting and not heard. Jericho says yeah!
And if being a jackass means he’s the King of New York, then Jericho’s the biggest jackass! And besides, Jericho talks for everyone here saying we do not want AJ & Justice here! The fans boo, they disagree with Jericho. But Jericho says they don’t even have Costcos in New York! New Yorkers shop at bodegas. Fans are torn, because they kind of agree. Jericho says his favorite is the Walgreens a few blocks over in Flushing. And speaking of Flushing, that’s where AJ & Justice belong: in the toilet! This is the Hammerstein Ballroom, the House that Jericho built! The fans boo that, it’s the House that Hardcore built.
But Jericho says there’s no time for goofy gimmicks like BOOM~, or bandit masks, or scissoring! Scissor me, Bad Apple~! But then wait! The Acclaimed is here! Well, Anthony Bowens is, at least. Bowens pushes past The Learning Tree and he joins AJ & Justice in the ring. Bowens has the music cut, and he tells Jericho that he doesn’t get why Scissor King is catching strays, but you caught his attention. Jericho is trying to intimidate a man in a walking boot and an 11 year old child while spouting nonsense about being the King of New York. Why doesn’t Jericho do what he has asked so many others in the past: SHUT THE HELL UP!
The fans cheer but Big Bill says, “As the Learning Tree always says, when a man tries to silence another man, he’s probably afraid of the truth.” The fans do cheer Big Bill because he is from New York. Bowens says he has no idea what that means, Bill. But he does know we’re live on TNT, Christmas Collision, Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City! So Chris, why not walk your ass to this ring and get it whipped by the Scissor King?! Jericho says if Bowens wants him to do that, then not tonight. Jericho waves bye, but AJ says hold on, listen up. We know Jericho is running scared, but we know at some point, Bowens will get to bring the-
Bowens stops the Boom? Because he wants to scissor! AJ says okay, and they SCISSOR BOOM~! But is that true? Will Anthony Bowens be the one to tear down the Learning Tree and be a champion?
Backstage interview with The Vendetta.
Lexy is now with Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie, and they’ve got a hot streak going. Deonna’s message last week was ominous, but who was it for? Taya says there are so many options. Everyone deserves a slice of The Vendetta. There’s Mercedes, Mariah, Toni Storm, even Lexy could get some, so watch your back. Speaking of Toni, she stumbles in and apologizes for interrupting. She just wants to say hi to everyone, hello. Oh, Deonna, a pleasure. Deonna says she knows who Toni is. R-Really? So cool! Taya says she’ll make a guess: Toni has a tattoo on her leg, a little duck with a knife through it.
Wow, how’d Taya know? Deonna says no no no, she is not doing this again. She does not get what sick crap Toni’s up to, but she is already done with it. So for Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street, Toni VS Taya! Taya says she’ll make Toni forget everything! Toni nervously thanks The Vendetta, and says this is a big opportunity to face someone like Taya. Toni leaves, Deonna and Taya sigh, and Lexy has no idea what to say. Is Toni’s mind unraveling before our eyes? Or is there still a bit of Timeless inside Toni Time?

Julia Hart speaks.
“Jamie, Jamie, Jamie. I’m no coward. What you call tricks, I call advantages. I suggested that you watch your back. I gave you all the warnings. So I’m not understanding why you feel the need to call me classless and sneaky. I thought I was being more than reasonable. I know you’re strong, but are you smart? Are my ‘tricks’ too much for you? I guess we’ll find out January 1st, Fight for the Fallen. But remember: The House Always Wins.” The Princess of the Black Throne is ready, but will she learn Hayter Hits Hard?

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!

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.

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

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!

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
