PLAY BY PLAY
Seth Rollins is here!
St. Paul, Minnesota fires up as The Visionary struts his way out in a very unique referee uniform. Are those puffy shoulders? Well, either way, Rollins goes to the ring while fans sing “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” Rollins tells St. Paul, “Welcome to Monday… Night… Rollins!” St. Paul cheers, and Rollins says he is our host for this evening’s events. Oh, St. Paul, HAHAHAHA! “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” Rollins says he is a Visionary, he is a Revolutionary, and he is Seth FREAKIN’ Rollins! The fans cheer, and Rollins says SummerSlam is just FIVE days away. Five days from the highly anticipated contest of Drew McIntyre VS CM Punk.
“And we are here tonight to lay out some rules and regulations for that contest. So without further ado, St. Paul, let’s bring out these two morons. How ’bout it? HAHAHAHA!” First is the Second City Saint, the Best in the World, CM Punk! Punk goes to stage left and high-fives the front row. Punk then goes to stage right and gets up on the road cases so he can see the fans over there. Punk blows a kiss, hops down, and finally tells us, “It’s CLOBBERIN’ time!” Punk goes down the ramp, high-fiving fans as he goes, and even high-fives the front row all along ringside. Then he steps into the ring with referee Rollins.
And now the Scottish Terminator makes his entrance! The fans boo as McIntyre takes his time walking down the ramp and into the ring. Punk keeps his eyes on McIntyre while they both get mics. St. Paul chants for “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” Rollins says alright, alright, alright. There is a lot of tension here, and we’re talking rules and regulations, but we gotta get something out of the way first. This comes directly from Adam Pearce, and he says these two are NOT to even lay a finger on one another or the match for SummerSlam is off. One step further, if they touch Rollins at all, the match for SummerSlam is off.
Punk goes out of the ring to sit at commentary but Rollins tells him hey! McIntyre says he has self-control, Punk doesn’t need to be a coward. Punk isn’t scared of McIntyre or Rollins. Punk is worried about what he’ll do himself, so he’ll just be calm, cool and collected over here. Rollins say she knows Punk likes calling the shots, acting like he’s in charge, getting his way, but that is not how this is going to work, and it is not how SummerSlam will work. Rollins didn’t have to be the ref, but he volunteered since these two idiots scared off every other official back there. But hey, Rollins can go back there, take off the ref shirt, hand it to Pearce, and the whole thing’s off!
The fans boo, they want to see the match. Rollins tells Punk that he does want to see these two fight! The fans cheer that! Rollins knows McIntyre wants it, and he knows St. Paul wants it! So if Punk wants this fight, he better get his ass back in Rollins’ ring. Oh there he is, the boot-licking office boy! Punk is sure Rollins loves that he can lord this over him so enjoy it while he can. McIntyre says Rollins shouldn’t listen to Punk. Just listen to McIntyre. They don’t always like each other, but their relationship is a professional rivalry. Sometimes McIntyre’s an arse, sometimes it’s Rollins. But they just want what is best for the future of the WWE.
But Punk is not what is best! Rollins said it himself, Punk is a cancer! “Corporate Man Punk” is poisoning the minds of NXT after all the hard work of the true workhorses. And Punk is gonna screw it all up. Remember that on Saturday, Punk is the real enemy. Rollins says McIntyre is an idiot, has said a lot wrong in his life, but if there’s one thing he’s right about, is that if anyone hates Punk as much as McIntyre, it is Rollins. The thing McIntyre is overlooking is that if there’s anyone that hates McIntyre as much as Punk, it’s also Rollins. So if these two wouldn’t mind shutting up, he will get to the rules for what will be a violent masterpiece at SummerSlam!
The fans cheer, and Rollins says there is only one rule for this match. There is only one regulation! McIntyre and Punk will listen to EVERYTHING Rollins has to say! He calls the shots, he is the boss, he is the law. He counts to three when he wants. They tap out when he says they tapped out. If there’s a ring count to be done, who knows? There might not be a count, there might be a 10 count, there might be a 20 count, there might be a MILLION count! Disqualifications? Eh. Referee’s discretion. The bottom line is, if either of them get out of line, they’ve got a problem with Rollins or his rules, he’s not someone they can push around.
No, Rollins is a spiteful little bastard, and he will put their heads in the dirt! Punk says this is a hat on a hat. The way Rollins dresses, he probably likes that. Hopefully, Rollins officiates better than he dresses. Punk doesn’t believe a word of this, he thinks Rollins will be biased. If he does call it down the line, fine. If Rollins screws Punk, fine, Punk will deal with that Saturday. But one think Punk doesn’t want Rollins to do, hating each of them equally, then don’t help Punk. Punk has never needed Rollins’ help, doesn’t want it, and will never listen to Rollins.
McIntyre says Punk is worried about the wrong guy right now. Worry more about the 6’5″, 280 pound man he’s screwed over and over again! The fans cheer that! McIntyre says he hates Punk, can’t stand him, he’s like a Charles Manson type who has poisoned even the fans! They chant Punk’s name at McIntyre even at the supermarket! McIntyre has spent 7 MONTHS saying what he’s had to say. McIntyre just wanted to rough Punk up a bit at the Royal Rumble, and ended up injuring him. That was for seven months without even trying. Punk screwed McIntyre at WrestleMania, then in Scotland.
So what’s happening on Saturday? Right now, McIntyre is chill. The real enemy is the bell. When it sounds, McIntyre will violently assault Punk. McIntyre will blacken both eyes, break his jaw, and McIntyre says Rollins will have to find compassion in his soul because McIntyre isn’t stopping until Punk’s heart does. In Cleveland, that’s a stadium. McIntyre will make so much money doing something he’d do for free. Punk smirks while the fans still cheer him on. Punk says for 10 YEARS, he was absent from WWE, and the fans chanted his name. They sing Rollins’ song, they chant Punk’s name, McIntyre is the third wheel here!
The one positive from “Punk Derangement Syndrome” is that they are in his orbit. They breathe the air that Punk produces. Hopefully, McIntyre enjoyed the last 7 months. Because hurting Punk was the best thing to happen to McIntyre, but it was also the worst thing to happen to him. For all McIntyre’s accomplishments, for how big and tall he is, for how mean and strong he is, he’s STUPID, and he dumbs himself out of positions! Punk may be an enemy, but not his worst. McIntyre is his own worst enemy! And he’ll just dumb himself out of this again. Punk isn’t as big, as tall, or as fast, but he has MORE HEART!
You know what else Punk has? Punk also has the people! What does McIntyre got? McIntyre shows off the bracelet. The very one he stole from Punk. And Punk storms right up to McIntyre, but he can’t touch him. McIntyre tells Punk he has no idea what’s coming on Saturday. But could that be the same for McIntyre?
Someone trashed the Judgment Day clubhouse!
JD McDonagh says this is worse than R-Truth and jelly rolls. Carlito says they broke the PS5! Dominik asks who did this, but Rhea says duh! Read the literal writing on the wall! Liv Morgan is pissed! But hey, they can rebuild all this. But Liv can’t undo the damage Rhea’s gonna do, especially after this. Carlito asks if they are getting a new PS5. Dom says not the time. Dom and Carlito leave and Rhea asks why Carlito’s still coming around. JD says Carlito does leave a certain smell, and Rhea tells him she will end him if he jokes around. But will there be no laughing when Mami finally gets her hands on Liv?
Raw returns and…
Judgment Day is still cleaning up the mess. Dom found one black rose not all smashed. Damian Priest walks in and figures it was Liv who did this. Priest then tells Finn that while they talked before, Priest still feels he should be out there when Finn faces Gunther. Finn says no, Priest needs to focus on SummerSlam. Gunther didn’t just insult Priest last week, he insulted everyone in The Judgment Day. While they fix up the clubhouse, Finn will take care of Gunther, alone. They can also take care of Sami & Jey, right? Priest says they already took care of Sami & Jey. They’re going backwards, dealing with issues they don’t need to.
Rhea says she’s been saying the same. Well, okay, then let the others handle it. JD will handle it right now! Priest says fine, go ahead. Dom says it should be Carlito and Sami. Carlito says way ahead of you. He’ll go talk with Adam Pearce. Caribbean Cool heads out, but will he be able to take down the Intercontinental Champion?
The Creed Brothers w/ Chad Gable VS Otis & Akira Tozawa w/ Maxxine Dupri!
Julius & Brutus rather surprisingly replaced the tree trunk and the Stamina Monster in “Master Gable’s” Alpha Academy, but now they’ll have it out in the ring! Will Gable’s new students make an example out of the old? Or will Otis & Tozawa prove they no longer need Gable’s drama?
We return to the ring as Gable leads The Creeds to the ring for their entrance. The teams sort out and Otis starts against Julius. The bell rings and Julius runs up to ROCK Otis! Julius fires off, puts Otis in the corner, but Otis fights back! Julius CLUBS Otis, Brutus tags in, and the brothers mug Otis. The fans rally for Otis but Brutus tags Julius back in. They double whip but Otis breaks the double clothesline to CLOBBER both Creeds! Brutus tumbles out, Otis tags Tozawa. Tozawa climbs, Otis ROCKET LAUNCHES him at Julius! Cover, TWO! Maxxine cheers Tozawa, but Julius suplexes Tozawa while sitting down!
Julius tags Brutus, and Julius GUT WRENCH SLAMS Brutus onto Tozawa! Cover, TWO! Brutus drags Tozawa, suplexes, but Tozawa kicks free! Tozawa SOBATS, spins, slides under, then SCREW KICKS! The fans fire up, Tozawa runs in, but Brutus puts him outside! Tozawa GAMANGIRIS, goes up and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Brutus tumbles out. Tozawa builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit and down goes Brutus! Tozawa hurries to put Brutus back in! Tozawa climbs, but Julius drags Brutus out! Tozawa drops down, but Brutus gets in to LARIAT! The fans boo, Gable fist bumps The Creeds, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Brutus hoist Tozawa up. Tozawa fights the fireman’s carry, but Brutus keeps him from the corner Brutus whips, but Tozawa SATELLITE DDTS! The fans are thunderous as Otis rises up! Hot tags to Julius and Otis! #FreeOtis rallies on Julius with LARIAT after LARIAT! Then he rolls past Julius to BLINDSIDE LARIAT! Otis ELBOWS Julius in a corner, then POSTS him! Otis says “SUCK IT!” then he revs up the- NO, Gable gets on the apron! Otis swipes at Gable, Julius runs up, but Otis catches him! POWERSLAM, and off comes the shirt! Free souvenir for a fan, and then the CATERPILLAR ELBOW hits!
Otis isn’t done, he goes up the corner! But Brutus CLUBS him first! Brutus climbs, the fans boo, but Otis TOSSES Brutus away! Gable gets up but Otis DECKS him! The Creeds mug Otis and go up top together! The fans boo but they hit a DOUBLE BACK SUPLEX! Cover, The Creeds win!
Winners: The Creed Brothers, by pinfall
Gable’s new number one guys come through for him, but now they sit Otis up! Gable gets in Otis’ face and says GABLE is the only reason Otis was ever anything! Tozawa gets in, Brutus DECKS him! Gable has an ANKLE LOCK on Otis! Maxxine JUMPS on Gable! Gable shrugs Maxxine off, and says Maxxine should’ve also listened. But then Maxxine SLAPS Gable! The fans fire up and Maxxine stands her ground! Gable storms up on her, but then the lights start turning off! Maxxine gets the boys outta there, because the fireflies are out! The piano starts playing and Gable’s group is on the defensive!
The fog rolls in, the light shines, and here come the Wyatt Sick6! Ramblin’ Rabbit, Mercy the Buzzard, Huskus the Pig Boy, they all storm down to ringside. They get up on the apron, they stare Gable & The Creeds down, and the fans fire up again! Masks off, and reveal! It’s Erick Rowan, Dexter Lumis & Joe Gacy! Gable turns around, NIKKI CROSSBODY! Down goes Gable, and then Gacy & Lumis DOUBLE CHOKE SLAM the Creeds! Lumis runs, gets a boost from Gacy, POP-UP BOMB SENTON COMBO! The fans are losing their minds as now Rowan has a go! DOUBLE CROSSBODY from the Wyatt OG!
And then, as Gable stumbles his way up the ramp, trying to run away, “There you are~!” Uncle Howdy, or rather Bo Dallas, stands in his way! Gable runs away through the backside of the stage, and Bo laughs into the night. They’re here, who have they to fear?
Carlito returns to the clubhouse.
So did he get the match? Yes, it is official. When is Carlito’s match with Sami then? What? No, the match is Dom VS Sami. What?! No, Carlito was supposed to handle Sami! Oh, Carlito thought Dom… Oops. Rhea says fine, Dom can handle Sami. And now that Carlito is free, he can take Jey, right? Carlito says he’d have to oil up but- Rhea says this is Carlito’s mess, time to clean it up. Carlito sighs and says he’ll go back to Pearce. Rhea says good. And Carlito has to handle Jey alone. Carlito sighs again then leaves. Is Carlito ever gonna catch a break?
Sheamus VS Bronson Reed!
The Celtic Warrior already had a run-in with the Colossal Aussie, but clearly the fighting is far from over! Will Sheamus be able to deliver another banger against Big Bad Bronson? Or will this be when he’s washed away by a Tsunami?
The bell rings and the fans rally for the big meaty men! They RAM and RAM then fire haymakers back and forth! Sheamus gets the edge, whips corner to corner, but Bronson reverses. Bronson runs in, Sheamus dodges and Bronson hits buckles! Sheamus jumps on for a SLEEPER! Bronson RAMS him into buckles, then ROCKS him! And CHOPS him! And CHOPS again! Sheamus dodges the next chop to body shot and UPPERCUT! And UPPERCUT! Sheamus reels Bronson in but Bronson HEADBUTTS! Bronson whips, Sheamus KICKS then runs, to LARIAT Bronson up and out! The fans fire up with The Fella!
Sheamus goes out to then climb up! SUPER FLYING LARIAT takes down Bronson! The Fella is even more fired up, and then he runs up, but Bronson SAMOAN DROPS him onto the desk! Bronson roars, the fans boo, but Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Sheamus fights up while in a chinlock. Sheamus fires body shots then UPPERCUTS! Sheamus runs, but Bronson LARIATS him down! Bronson looms over Sheamus, talks trash on him, then stands him up. Bronson says Sheamus ain’t got it anymore. But Sheamus gets mad!

Sheamus then aims to FLYING- NO, Bronson dodges the lariat to fireman’s carry! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO!! Sheamus survives and the fans fire up! Bronson snarls, thinks on what he has to do, and he drags Sheamus to a drop zone. Bronson climbs, the fans rally for Sheamus, and Sheamus rises! Sheamus fires haymakers on Bronson! Sheamus climbs, brings Bronson up, and that feat of strength alone is wild! But now, SUPER WHITE NOISE!! Cover, TWO?!?
The fans cannot believe it! Bronson survives that landing, and both men are down! Bronson rolls away, Sheamus pushes himself up. Sheamus sees Bronson on the apron, and Sheamus storms up on him! Sheamus clamps on for BEATS OF THE BODHRAIN! Sheamus goes all the way to TEN, then goes past that for SIXTEEN before the ref backs him off! Bronson flounders, gets stuck in ropes, but the ref manages to free that leg. Sheamus powers up, but here comes Pete Dunne! SHILLELAGH SHOT?!?! The ref missed it all but the fans saw it! The fans boo but Bronson grins as he goes to the corner!
Bronson climbs, Dunne is hiding, and the TSUNAMI hits!! Cover, Bronson wins!
Winner: Bronson Reed, by pinfall
The Bruiserweight gives Bronson the assist, then just shrugs. Dunne’s starting trouble wherever he’s going, will it all catch up to him soon enough?
Damian Priest speaks.
“There’s been a lot of talk about my past. How I was raised, how I lived on the street. And all this talk is coming from the one guy who has no understand, has no idea of what that’s like. Here’s a guy, Gunther, who grew up with ‘Here you go’s.'” You want the best training? Here you go. A group of people to tell you how great you are? Here you go. But what Gunther doesn’t have is what could never be handed to him: heart. Gunther says Priest is street trash? That translates to him being a Puerto Rican badass, so yes, he is! To Priest, Gunther is just some feat of European ingenuity. AKA, Gunther’s an a-hole!
The WWE ring is about salvation, for people to forget about their past. But this Saturday, it becomes the streets, and Gunther’s ass is gonna get mugged. Priest will rob Gunther of this idea that he can take the world title from Priest. Priest lived to fight for everything he got, and now he’s willing to die for everything he has. Is Gunther? Welcome to Priest’s neighborhood, “General.” El Campeon is ready to bring out The Punisher, will the King of the Ring survive?
Bron Breakker speaks.
“I don’t care to talk down on Sami Zayn. Hell, I don’t even dislike Sami Zayn. He’s at the top of his game, at the top of his profession: stand-up comedy. See, at Money in the Bank, I didn’t take him seriously. I thought I was fighting a stand-up comic, I put my hands behind my back. I didn’t take him seriously, and y’know what? That’s on me. Rookie mistake. But it made me realize the difference between me and Sami Zayn. See, Sami Zayn has already accepted the fact that he’s going to lose at SummerSlam. There’s nowhere for Sami to run any longer, because he’s preparing for a life after WWE. Preparing for a life after Bron Breakker.
“Sami Zayn and Friends? Hahaha… You’ve seen it. They promote it every single week here on Monday Night Raw. And while you, Sami, tell jokes for your preparation, I’ve been in the gym, hungry, training, like a dog. Redefining the words effort, attitude, and toughness. And it’ll be on full display this Saturday at SummerSlam, when the joke is on you, and the Intercontinental Championship will be on me.” Cleveland is all about the Dog Pound, will Bron leave Sami black ‘n’ blue in the home of the Browns?
Carlito VS Jey Uso!
Finn Balor says there’s a mess to be cleaned up, so Caribbean Cool has to do his part. Will he spit in the face of Main Event Jey? Or will Jey just YEET Carlito right back to the clubhouse?
Raw returns and Carlito makes his entrance. The bell rings and Carlito runs up on Jey! Jey dodges to SUPERKICK! Cover, TWO! Carlito is still in this but also in a daze. The fans rally while Jey bails out. Fans “YEET!” with Jey and he builds speed to DIVE! Down goes Carlito, the fans “YEET!” more and Jey drags Carlito up. Jey puts Carlito in the ring, brings him back up, and ROCKS him with a right hand. Jey fires more hands, the fans “YEET!” and Carlito sits down. Jey lets off to “YEET!” Jey storms back up but Carlito POSTS him! Jey flops to the apron, Carlito drags him up and onto ropes, for a DRAPING NECKBREAKER!
Jey flounders, Carlito soaks up the heat, then covers, TWO! Jey is still in this, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and Carlito has Jey down with a motorcycle stretch. Jey fights up, stomps Carlito’s foot, then mule kicks! And UPPERCUTS! Jey runs, but into a fireman’s carry! T K O! Cover, TWO! The fans rally up, Jey goes to a corner, and Carlito frowns. Carlito runs in corner to corner, but Jey dodges the splash! Jey ROCKS Carlito again and again, “YEET! YEET! YEET!” Jey pops, locks ‘n’ puts some stank on the HAYMAKER! Carlito staggers, into a kick! Carlito blocks, spins Jey, but the DRAGON WHIP hits! Carlito flops to a corner, Jey throws off the armband, then says “UCE! SO! UCE! SO!” Jey runs in, Carlito puts him on the apron!
Jey GAMANGIRIS Carlito, goes up, and leaps, but Carlito dodges! Jey keeps moving, but Carlito SPINEBUSTERS! Cover, TWO! Carlito rains down fists on Jey, but lets off while the fans boo. Carlito goes to a corner, and he grabs his green apple! The fans are torn as Carlito takes a big bite. Carlito chews it up, but Jey rolls Carlito up! TWO!! Jey dodges Carlito, then SPEARS! The apples go flying, Jey covers, Jey wins!
Winner: Jey Uso, by pinfall
Carlito just makes more of a mess with those chunks of apple everywhere! But will Dom at least do better against Sami? Or will this problem the Judgment Day has only grow bigger and bigger?
Backstage interview with Zelina Vega.
Jackie Redmond is with La Muneca, and notes that Zelina won big over Zoey Stark, despite the bad arm. Jackie has to ask, how is the arm? Zelina feels better now. But she was lucky to have Lyra, Katana & Kayden backing her up. But at the same time, “Team Forehead” had to stack the deck against Zelina. Zelina needed that, though. What was done to Zelina created her, and reminded her of just who the hell she is. Zelina Vega is a threat in this division, and they know it. But then Shayna, Zoey & Sonya walk over. A threat, huh? Well, it took three women to beat Zoey so… Where are they now?
Sonya says let’s se who is a threat. But Zelina fires first! That only gets her mugged, and then Shayna grabs the bad arm! Shayna BOOTS the arm against the wall! Producers and refs hurry over, did Shayna just reinjure Zelina’s arm back to zero percent? Will The Morrigan & KC Squared make Sonya’s squad pay for it?
Raw returns as Zelina is checked by medical.
Lyra, Kayden & Katana are also there, and they promise they’ll get payback. Will Zelina be out of action much longer this time?
Backstage interview with The Miz.
Cathy Kelley is with The Hollywood A-Lister, and he has a very special announcement regarding SummerSlam. The Miz says that’s right! Live from Cleveland, SummerSlam will be hosted by The Miz! That’s right, he is hosting in his house of Cleveland, Ohio! R-Truth walks in and asks what’s up. WWE brought back In Your House? That’s what’s up! No, Miz is just saying Cleveland is “his house,” it’s just a saying. Doesn’t Miz live in LA, though? Yes, but he grew up in Cleveland. Then how is he going to host SummerSlam in his house, in Cleveland? No, he just is hosting SummerSlam. Whachu talkin’ bout, Miz?
Miz is in Cleveland, hosting SummerSlam, simple as that. Okay, then he has to have party favors, hors d’oeuvres, and Truth will bring ice. No, Miz isn’t doing any of that. Then he’s a bad host. Miz isn’t a bad host! Truth says he’s got this, #SayLess. So no hors d’oeuvres? NO! There are not hors d’oeuvres. Who even wants hors d’oeuvres? Truth and Cathy do. Okay fine, Miz will bring hors d’oeuvres. Is Miz going to be in over his head trying to host SummerSlam in his hometown?
Xavier Woods VS Karrion Kross w/ The Final Testament!
The New Day has been through quite a lot, but Woods is still standing! Will he use all that Power of Positivity to hold it down? Or will Doomsday make him #FallAndPray?
But as Kross steps in the ring, he also grabs a mic. Kross says he has something he wants to address. Kross was just notified that Kofi Kingston reinjured his shoulder during the Japan tour, and that’s why he’s not here tonight. Does anyone really believe that? Kross thinks Kofi’s skipping town because one: the whole world isn’t revolving around him anymore, it’s revolving around Woods, and Kofi can’t stand that; and two: no one wants to be in the hellhole of Minnesota. The fans boo but Kross says he’ll give Woods a way out of this beating. Just a couple things. One: Woods needs to join The Final Testament! And two: Tell the kids at home that the Power of Positivity was always a lie.
The fans boo but Kross says one more thing, it is important to Kross. Woods needs to tell Kofi that he should’ve retired after losing the WWE Championship after just six seconds. Woods DECKS Kross! The bell rings and Woods rains down fists! Kross pushes free, Woods runs up to LARIAT Kross up and out! Woods builds speed, and he WRECKS Kross with a dropkick! The fans fire up with Woods as he storms up on Kross, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Kross has Woods down with a SLEEPER! The fans rally, Woods fights up and fires body shots! Woods CLUBS Kross, CLUBs him more, but Kross knees low! Kross whips Woods to a corner, runs in, and LARIATS, ELBOWS and ROLLING ELBOWS! Kross says Woods is dead! Kross brings Woods up for an EXPLODER! Woods flounders, Kross soaks up the heat, and then he covers, TWO! Kross says Woods should’ve just joined him. He says New Day is dead, and Woods is the worst King of the Ring ever! Kross is trying to help Woods, “you piece of trash!” But Woods fires haymakers and CHOPS!
Woods CHOPS, JABS, and repeat! The fans fire up as Woods just keep son firing shots! Woods whips, Kross reverses but Woods ducks ‘n’ dodges to slide and ROLLING ELBOW! The fans fire up, Woods runs in at the corner, forearm SMASH! Woods then brings Kross out, but Kross wrenches and fireman’s carries! Woods slips free, O’Conner Rolls, TWO! Woods ends up in ropes, Akam gets a cheap shot! The fans boo but Kross pump handles for a scoop, only for Woods to slip free! SUPERKICK! Kross staggers, swings, but Woods dodges to DIVE onto Akam! Woods gets payback, then he baits Rezar in! Rezar runs up, but is sent into POST!
Woods hurries back up, he GAMANGIRIS Kross down! Woods goes up, and MACHO- FLOPS! Kross laughs as he avoids the elbow. Then FINAL PRAYER! Cover, Kross wins!
Winner: Karrion Kross, by pinfall
Scarlett celebrates with Kross, and the rest of The Final Testament steps inside. They all stand over Woods, but will they ever convince him to stand with them?
Backstage interview with Sami Zayn.
Jackie is with the Great Liberator, noting that while he’s moments away from facing Dominik Mysterio, he is also just days away from defending the Intercontinental Championship against Bron Breakker. What is his reaction to Bron’s comments from earlier tonight? Sami says it’s funny Bron thinks Sami is going to lose this match just because he’s got a comedy show the night before. But if Sami remembers correctly, he did that in Toronto and he still beat Bron. Bron even said it himself that Bron lost because he took it as a forgone conclusion that he was just gonna destroy Sami and get the title, just like that. Bron underestimated Sami.
And clearly, Bron isn’t doing that anymore. Sami knows Bron will take every chance to jump him from behind. Even last week, when Sami finally gets a moment, shares a moment with his Uce, his dawg, Jey Uso. Reunited in the ring, and yet again, a cheap shot from Bron. So spear after spear, fine. Bron’s young and hungry, that’s fine. But this time around, Sami’s attitude is different, too. This isn’t about teaching the young guy about respect, or teaching him some lesson. This is about kicking his ass at SummerSlam! And as far as Judgment Day goes, Sami will handle business right now. Sami heads out, will he be rolling into his next defense?
Liv Morgan speaks.
“Do you know how it feels to have your heart ripped out? It takes your breath away. It feels like you can barely even breathe. I would’ve done anything for you, Dominik. I put you on a pedestal. I treated you like the man I thought that you were. But you’re not a man.” Liv burns the pictures of them together (mostly just screenshots from Monday Night Raw). Liv says Dom is just Rhea’s little b*tch. She wants to take back every tear that she wasted on Dom, but she can’t. So all she can do now is make his and Rhea’s lives a living hell. At SummerSlam, Liv will complete her revenge tour when she beats Rhea and leaves Dom with whatever’s left of Mami.
Meanwhile, Liv will be standing in the ring, with her arm raised as she hears those three little words: “Women’s World Champion. Watch me.” Hell hath now fury like a woman scorned, is Dom going to regret choosing Rhea’s side?
Dominik Mysterio VS Sami Zayn!
Raw returns and Dom makes his entrance alone. The bell rings and the two step forward. Dom sidesteps the tie-up to soak up heat on the corner. The ref has Sami stay back, Dom hops down, and the two feel things out. Dom kicks low, wrenches to wristlock, but Sami spins and wrenches to WRING Dom out! Sami clamps onto the arm, drags Dom up, but Dom powers Sami to a corner. Dom throws hands, stomps away, but Sami hits back with haymakers! Sami whips, Dom holds ropes then bails out. The fans boo but Dom wants a timeout. There are no timeouts, and Sami chases Dom! They go around the ring, into the ring, then Sami hurdles to TOSS Dom out!
The fans fire up as Sami mule kicks from the apron. Then Sami ARABIAN PRESS SAULTS! Down goes Dom and the fans fire up while Raw goes to break!
Raw returns again and the fans rally, but Dom stomps away on Sami! The fans chant “DOM, YOU SUCK!” but he CLUBS away on Sami. Dom wraps on a chinlock, leans on the hold, but Sami fights up. The fans rally, Sami RAMS Dom into a corner, then RAMS him again and again. Sami is free of the chinock, btu Dom elbows him back. Dom then hops up to TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO! The fans rally, Sami goes to ropes, but Dom fires hands. Sami shakes his head, Dom throws body shots then another haymaker. Dom whips, Sami goes up and over, then LARIATS! The fans fire up as Sami goes to a corner.

The Wyatt Sick6 share another video.
This week’s “session” has Dexter Lumis in the chair. “A man just looking for mercy. They built their empire next to the sea, and laughed as they watched you drown. But there’s freedom in sinking. Look at what you’ve become! Tell me, brother… Tell me. What should they do when the buzzards start circling? What should they do?” Lumis looks at the camera, and says “RUN!” Will there be no mercy for those Lumis and the Wyatts now target?
Chad Gable & The Creeds talk with Adam Pearce.
Gable says once again, he is doing everyone’s jobs. He figured out the identities of the other members of the Wyatt 6. Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, and Erick Rowan. Pearce says he knows that, they’re all still under WWE contract. Oh, okay, so then they can compete? Generally, that’s how that works. What is Gable’s point? His point is that next week, on Raw, he and the Creeds VS “those three freaks” in a Six Man Tag. Pearce hopes they’re sure that’s what they want. It is. Make it happen. Then consider it official. Gable & The Creeds head out, and Pearce says, “Be careful what you wish for.” The Wyatts may be disturbing, but is Gable the one that’s crazy wanting this fight?
Rhea Ripley speaks.
“Liv Morgan. You wanna burn and break things that don’t belong to you. You so badly, so badly wanna be the victim in your little revenge tour fantasy. But that’s all it is: a fantasy. The reality is, that this Saturday at SummerSlam, your little revenge tour, it comes to an end. There’s no more running, there’s no more hiding, there’s no more manipulating. You thought that I was brutal the last time I attacked your shoulder? But that’s what happened after I warned you multiple times to stay out of my business. Now, now you’ve not only taken three months of my career by injuring my shoulder, touché by the way, but you’ve taken my championship.
“You’ve tried to manipulate my family, MY Latino Heat. You so badly want me to be the demon in your little fantasy dream. But at SummerSlam, it’s time that I get MY revenge.” Mami has spoken, will she demolish what is left of Liv’s broken heart?
Six Woman Tag: Lyra Valkyria, Kayden Carter & Katana Chance VS Sonya Deville, Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark!
Lyra’s learning how to let loose thanks to the party girls, but this isn’t about having fun. The Morrigan & KC Squared want to humble the newest bullies on the block. But will they avenge Zelina Vega? Or will Deville and her dangerous new crew ruin everyone’s good time?
Raw returns and Sonya’s squad makes their entrance. The trios sort out, Sonya starts against Lyra, and the two tie up. They go around, Sonya pulls hair but the ref reprimands. Lyra chinbars, but so does Sonya. Lyra powers Sonya into a headlock, but Sonya powers up and out. Lyra slides under to RAM Sonya, then she reels Sonya in, Sonya wrenches out, then ROCKS Lyra! Sonya KNEES Lyra, whips her to the corner, then tags Shayna. They mug Lyra, then Zoey tags in. Shayna wrenches to hold Lyra up, and Zoey MISSILE DROPKICKS! Cover, TWO! Zoey drags Lyra up, scoops but Lyra slips free.
Lyra sends Zoey into buckles, then wrenches to WRING her out! Lyra clamp onto the arm, brings Zoey over, and tags in Katana. Katana tags Kayden, Lyra sends Zoey into the corner, then sends Kayden. Kayden SPLASHES, then she and Lyra set up so Katana can run up, PARTY IN MOTION! Zoey flops out of the ring, Katana helps Kayden go up and out to the apron! Lyra tags in, Kayden dodges Zoey to SUPERKICK! Then Lyra runs to WRECK Zoey with a dropkick! The fans cheer as Lyra, Kayden & Katana are vibing, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and Lyra fights out of a chinlock. But Sonya RAMS her into the corner! Sonya fires hands, tags in Shayna, and they mug Lyra. Shayna stomps away, Sonya tags back in. Sonya drags Lyra up to fire body shots again and again, then lets off as the ref counts. Sonya runs up but Lyra BOOTS her! Lyra ELBOWS Shayna, ELBOWS Zoey, then goes up and over Sonya as she returns! Lyra hurries but Sonya grabs her legs! Sonya drags Lyra back, Lyra BOOTS her away, hot tag to Kayden! Kayden runs up dodges Shayna, and DECKS Kayden! ROUNDHOUSE for Sonya, leg trip for Shayna! BUZZSAW!
Kayden CLOBBERS Shayna again and again, and the fans fire up! Kayden brings Shayna up for fast hands but Shayna shoves her back. Kayden runs back up to ROCK Shayna! Kayden whips Shayna, Shayna reverses, but Kayden wheelbarrows. Victory roll, and SUPERKICK! The fans fire up as Kayden storms up on Shayna. Kayden springboard LEG DROPS! Cover, TWO! Kayden runs side to side, but Shayna dodges! Shayna KNEES Kayden down, and she tags in Zoey! Zoey reels Kayden in, ALLEY- RANA! Kayden then baits Shayna and TOSSES her! Zoey SUPERKICKS but Katana tags in! Kayden ELBOWS Zoey while Katana tags Lyra.
Kayden gives Katana a lift, then a TOSS, CODE BREAKER! Lyra is there to gut wrench and POWERBOMB! Cover, Shayna breaks it! Sonya adds a KNEE! Zoey covers, Kayden SUPERKICKS her! Katana jumps in, KC Squared TOSS Shayna & Sonya! They drag Lyra to safety, then Kayden tags in. Kayden drags Zoey up, tags Katana back in. Katana goes up, but Sonya trips Kayden! No After Party yet, and Shayna gets on the apron. Katana BOOTS her away, but then Zoey gets up! Zoey grabs at Katana, but Katana turns toss into victory roll! TWO!! Zoey KNEES Katana, then drags her up! Z 360!! Cover, Deville’s crew wins!
Winners: Sonya Deville, Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark, by pinfall
A dangerous trios indeed, but wait! Damage CTRL is back! The Japan tour has reinvigorated them, and now Iyo Sky, Kairi Sane & Dakota Kai storm the ring! DMG CTRL dodges Deville and her team, to then BOOT, DROPKICK and DECK them all! The fans fire up, and Iyo goes up top! ARIHARA MOONSAULT onto them all!! Iyo then joins Kairi & Dakota in the ring to stand tall. Just who runs Raw? Perhaps these trios will have to fight it out and find out!
Gunther speaks.
Sometime before the show, Der Ring General went to the empty bleachers to say, “Last week, I offered Damian Priest the easy way out for the second time in a row. And his reaction was a reaction of a weak man. A reaction of a man who doesn’t have control over his own emotions. But that’s okay. Damian Priest doesn’t have to pretend anymore, because I exposed him for what he is: an emotional wannabe that abuses this great business as a cure for his childhood trauma.” Gunther says as far as tonight, Finn Balor is someone he used to look up to. Finn used to be one of the greatest pro-wrestlers in the world. And he still is, as he is World Tag Team Champion.
But let’s be honest. They both know Finn was destined for much greater things. But ever since he decided to surround himself with “those Judgment Day weirdos,” Finn became just like them: street trash. It will be Gunther’s pleasure tonight to find out how much of that old Finn Balor is still left. And as for Priest, know this: Gunther will never forgive Priest for abusing this great sport to cover up his pathetic existence. After SummerSlam, Priest and the rest of the world will forever remember the day when Der Ring General “saved this great sport and the World Heavyweight Championship.”
Backstage interview with Damage CTRL.
Cathy catches Iyo, Kairi & Dakota as they return backstage, and brings up that quick brawl out there with “the group that claims to be in control of Raw” while they were away. Iyo gets upset and says in Japanese that DMG CTRL are the ones who run Raw! Kairi adds her own comments in Japanese, and that WWE belongs to DMG CTRL. Dakota says the only reason Sonya and them have been “running the place” is because DMG CTRL was gone. Now that they’re back, it is time to reestablish a certain order of things. In fact, how about this? Dakota calls out Sonya for a match next week! Let’s see how long that little social club lasts after Dakota cuts the head off the snake.
DMG CTRL heads out, is #CobraKai going to leave Deville snakebit when Raw rolls into Baltimore?
Judgment Day regroups in the clubhouse.
Between Carlito and Dom each taking a loss, Rhea says, “What did you expect?” Carlito wants to point out that he was left alone out there but then they helped Dom. Rhea says she said this was gonna happen. JD says they can’t let Jey & Sami walk all over them. Finn says hold on, Rhea is right. They got themselves into this mess together. Let’s wait until after SummerSlam to get out of the mess together. Rhea says yeah, time to focus. And she’ll just put it out there… If Finn does need help with Gunther, they’ve got him. Just say the word.
Finn asks how many times they gotta go over this. At SummerSlam, Rhea is going it alone against Liv, and Priest is going it alone against Gunther. So tonight, he’s gotta step up and go it alone. Unless they don’t think he’s good enough. No, it’s not like that. Their problem is Gunther. They don’t trust that Gunther won’t try something stupid. But as his brother in arms, Priest knows Finn can handle Gunther. Go out there and show him who Finn Balor is. Finn says as Priest’s brother, he’ll soften up Gunther for Priest on Saturday.
They fist bump, JD helps Finn prepare, and the team is confident. But will the Prince be able to put a dent in the King of the Ring? Or will he be made into an example?
Finn Balor VS GUNTHER!
Raw returns and the two circle. They feel things out, tie up, and Gunther hits a headlock takeover. Finn headscissors, Gunther kips free but Finn goes for the headlock.

He throws Gunther into the Prime hydration station! Gunther and cart tumble, Gunther tries to get away, but Priest HAMMERS him on the barriers! The Punisher is giving Gunther what he deserves already, but will Gunther still get what he wants at SummerSlam?
My Thoughts:
A great Raw as the go-home for SummerSlam here, but with quite a bit more prepared for next week’s aftermath episode. Great tag match of Otis & Tozawa VS The Creeds, with Gable of course cheating to help the now Heel Creeds. At the same time, great appearance by Wyatt Sick6, great team combo from Lumis and Gacy, and I again enjoyed Gable being arrogant, thinking he figured out some secret that the Wyatts gave up willingly. As I figured, a Six Man Tag is happening and it’ll be next week, not at SummerSlam. That is fine, as being a kickoff show match doesn’t seem big enough for the in-ring return of Gacy, Lumis & Rowan.
Good match from Kross with Woods but of course Final Testament had to interfere. I want the blowoff, the match that determines if Woods joins Final Testament or stops them, to be a pure 1v1 match but that probably isn’t happening, given they might want to give Kofi a triumphant return. Though, perhaps such a return ends up exactly why Woods joins Kross, because on some level, it proves Kross is right. I do feel like it’d be the more intriguing story if, after all this time, New Day stopped being a team. Woods doesn’t even have to join Kross, he just has to see he doesn’t need Kofi anymore.
While Sonya’s group hurting Zelina seems a bit unnecessary, we got a very good Six Woman Tag. Good win for Sonya’s group which really needs a name, but also great return for DMG CTRL, with a look that hearkens back to Lucha Underground’s Black Lotus Triad, aka the one-off of Iyo & Kairi teaming with Mayu Iwatani to beat up on Pentagon Jr. Dakota VS Sonya will be good stuff, and really, should be Dakota’s win so DMG CTRL’s return is even stronger. Then we can do other singles matches, some tag matches, and of course the eventual Six Woman Tag. Though I wonder if Lyra & KC Squared get involved for a triple trios thing.
Sheamus VS Bronson was a great rematch, but I was just wondering when Dunne would show up. I didn’t think he’d use a shillelagh, though. Great win for Bronson, he could use this to go after whoever wins the Intercontinental Championship after SummerSlam. As for Dunne, he and Sheamus might end up having a Donnybrook match. It’ll hearken back to when The Brawling Brutes were a thing, it’d help bring out Dunne’s motivations in this feud, and it’d just be a lot of fun seeing them go all out, smashing up a tiny bar or some wood barrels.
As for SummerSlam build, a very good though rather long opening promo segment. Rollins didn’t go as crazy with his ref outfit as I was expecting, but the leather pants, zebra stripe boots and puffy shoulder shirt is still good stuff. And I do like that his rules will be very lax, bordering on No Holds Barred because he just wants to see McIntyre and Punk beat each other to a pulp. Now, it’d be rather cliche if like, Punk upsets Rollins somehow and Rollins screws him out of this, but it would be fitting of the story. Punk warned Rollins, that felt like foreshadowing, and what a great way to transition feuds than for Punk to want after Rollins now.
Judgment Day was of course a great throughline on the night. Liv bashing up the clubhouse, and the PS5, while also having her promo with the trash can fire, was good stuff. Rhea’s response was also good, can’t wait to see how their title match goes down. Very good promos from Priest and Gunther to call each other out, and it is intriguing how Finn seems to be the one insisting on “Stand on your own, handle the business,” even though they in no way had to have Carlito lose to Jey or Dom lose to Sami. I’m still hoping to see that Judgment Day Civil War type break-up, Finn bringing JD & Carlito with him to join Liv, so that the real business they need to handle is, “Who is better Judgment Day?”
Sami and Jey got great momentum off those matches, but we also got a good promo from Sami and Bron. Bron going after Sami but being run off, that go-home math has to mean Sami loses. I’m still a little surprised Sami won at MITB, so I think this is when Bron wins. Bron’s promo does have a point about “life after Bron,” because Sami and Jey could move over to go after the tag titles since this thing with Judgment Day is heating up. And then, if Survivor Series brings back Brand VS Brand, Sami & Jey are champs on Raw but Bloodline’s Tama & Jacob Fatu are champs on SmackDown… It isn’t quite a WarGames of Bloodline Civil War, but it’d be pretty good all the same.
My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY
MJF is outside…?
“‘Hangman Did Nothing Wrong,’ that’s what you people like to say. But I disagree. See, what you decided to do, Adam, is decided to poke and prod the Devil. What I did to your boy, Christopher Daniels, friend, that was light work. See normally, I like to play with my food before I eat it. But Hangman, you got me feeling hungry. You got me wanting to take a bite out of that cute, blue-eyed baby face of yours. You got me wanting to prove a point to your s*itty little mark fan club! So you wanna call me out, Hangman? You wanna find me? You wanna fight me? I ain’t hard to find! I’m in the streets of Sacramento!”
If Hangman wants to talk Buckshots, MJF has a bullet with a name on it, and it reads, “HANGMAN! HANGMAN! HANGMAN! You wanna shoot, Cowboy? Well then saddle up, mother effer, and let’s ride!!” The Scumbag is on one tonight, but will he regret lighting that fire inside of Adam Page?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
Standing by the table that’s already set up, Schiavone notes we have an irate MJF. But tonight, it is time for the contract signing for the rematch at AEW Revolution, which is also a #1 Contender’s match to the AEW World Championship. First welcome out, alongside Prince Nana, SWERVE STRICKLAND! The Sacramento Memorial Auditorium is now “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” as The Realest heads to the ring, Nana doing the signature Swerve When I Drive dance. The fans fire up as Swerve steps in and takes his seat at the table. Schiavone welcomes out now Swerve’s opponent, Ricochet!
The fans boo as The One & Only walks out, not wearing the Embassy robe, but still wearing a backwards baseball cap to represent the Philadelphia Eagles. Ricochet goes to the ring, shows off the hat, then takes his seat across from Swerve. The fans chant “You Suck! You Suck!” at Ricochet but Schiavone has them get to business. Each man will have a chance to comment before signing. Schiavone points out that Ricochet isn’t wearing the Embassy robe that he stole months ago. Where is it? Ricochet says don’t worry about where his robe is, and don’t worry, we’ll all see it again on Sunday. It is in good hands, getting some, uh, upgrades, if you will.
Nana gets made and steps up, but Swerve holds him back. Ricochet says for Swerve to get “grandpa” under control until something really does happen to the robe. The fans boo, but Ricochet says we’re all excited. Swerve has done plenty of contract signings before, right? But none of them really ended well for him either. Ricochet showed up, he’s here, so now no one has to worry about Swerve’s house being burned down again. Ricochet laughs but the fans boo at his rude joke. Swerve leans in and says just sign the contract. Ricochet says of course, of course, but he’s a superstar, and superstars need time to shine before they sign.
But don’t worry, Swerve. You’re lucky. You’re lucky Ricochet is even here, is even humoring the rematch, because Ricochet should be done with Swerve! Swerve is the one that started this, that stuck his nose in Ricochet’s business. Swerve and all his little fans chose to mock Ricochet. Get it right! Swerve chose to mock and bully and embarrass Ricochet! And what happened? Even in the face of all that, Ricochet still beat Swerve. Yeah, that’s right! Ricochet won! That’s why Swerve mad! Because Ricochet won. Then just sign the contract. Oh, don’t worry, Ricochet will. The fans again chant “You Suck! You Suck!” at Ricochet.
Ricochet tells Swerve that now, Ricochet is one step away from achieving his goal of becoming AEW World Champion! So yeah, he’s more focused than ever! Ricochet is focused on Jon Moxley, he is focused on Adam Copeland, and he is focused on being exactly who he was always supposed to be: THE AEW World Champion! The fans boo, but Ricochet finally signs on the dotted line. Ricochet says, “Now don’t let Prince Nana down.” Swerve tells Ricochet to shut the hell up! The fans cheer that! Swerve says Ricochet is SO annoying! He is an entitled, self-righteous little p*ick, isn’t he?! Ricochet says no he’s not.
Swerve says yeah, he did start this, all to expose Ricochet for the cowardly fraud that he is! And on Sunday, that is exactly what Swerve’s gonna do. Does Ricochet think some low blow victory means something? He thinks that’s impressive? Ricochet stole the Embassy robe, he stuck Swerve with scissors and left him a bloody mess in the middle of the ring. But the biggest mistake Ricochet made is he left Swerve breathing. And with Swerve standing here, it will be Swerve breathing down Ricochet’s neck until he ends Ricochet! Ricochet mocks how scary that sounds, but Swerve says, “Awakening the Most Dangerous Man in AEW is a mistake that you’re gonna learn to regret to live with.”
The fans cheer on “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve says this Sunday, Revolution, Swerve carves his path back to the AEW World Championship. Not just by running through Ricochet, but by putting Ricochet in the ground. And there will only be two things Ricochet will be remembered for. One of them is that Swerve briefly revived Ricochet’s career. The other is Ricochet’s ring announcer wife. Ricochet gets mad while the fans go wild! Swerve signs his part, so it is now official! Swerve wants Ricochet to do something now, but then Ricochet brings out the scissors! Swerve stops that, and shows he has HIS OWN SCISSORS!
Swerve JABS Ricochet in the face with his scissors! The fans are fired up for “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” while Ricochet flounders, blood pouring from his forehead! The contender’s match is Sunday, but there’s still tonight’s “Road to Revolution” tag match! Will Ricochet get his revenge alongside The Rainmaker? Or will Swerve’s House release the Hounds of Hell as he and Brody King stand together?
8 Man Tag: Will Ospreay, “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, Orange Cassidy & Mark Briscoe VS Bryan Keith, Mark Davis, Brian Cage & Lance Archer!
It’s a star-studded start here in Sacramento as the Aerial Assassin conglomerates with The Powerhouse, Freshly Squeeze & The Sussex County Chicken! They’re taking on some common enemies as The Bad Apple is joined by The Don Callis Family’s Dunkzilla & Murder Machines! Will Ospreay and his team make it to Revolution? Or will Keith and the boys collect on that bounty after all?
Dynamite returns as the rest of Ospreay’s team makes their entrance. Then Bryan Keith makes his entrance, followed by the whole Don Callis Family, Callis himself included. The teams sort out and the fans fire up as Ospreay starts against Cage. Callis is on commentary and says all these fans are idiots, but Ospreay BOOTS Cage at the bell! Ospreay fires forearms, then whips, but Cage blocks! Cage whips, Ospreay ducks ‘n’ dodges to RAN- NO, Cage stops that! Fans tell Callis off while Cage THROWS Ospreay away! Cage storms up on Ospreay, scoops him, and uses him for bicep curls before a POWERSLAM!
The fans boo while Cage flexes. Cage puts Ospreay in a corner to fire LARIAT after LARIAT, then he short arm LARIATS! The fans boo more but Cage flexes. Cage drags Ospreay up, reels him in, and puts one out before he lifts. But Ospreay slips free, ducks ‘n’ dodges, and he RANAS this time! Then he BOOTS and SAIDOS! The fans fire up with Ospreay as he drags Cage up. Tag to Mark Briscoe and he fires an UPPERCUT! And a CHOP! And a forearm! And repeat! Briscoe whips, Cage reverses, but Briscoe slides under to REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUT! And then UPPERCUT! UPPERCUT! The fans fire up for “DEM BOYS!”
Briscoe whips, Cage reverses, but Briscoe goes up and over to then Crane Stance and KICK! Briscoe whips, Cage blocks, so Briscoe CHOPS! Briscoe fires a flurry of forearms, then runs, but Cage BACKDROPS, only for Briscoe to land out!? The fans fire up, Cage turns around into a headlock! Cage slips out to waistlock, but Briscoe breaks free to PELE! Cage staggers to the corner, Briscoe storms up to go up, and he rains down fists! The fans count along, all the way to TEN! Briscoe tags Ospreay back in, he goes up to rain down fists! Ospreay goes to TEN, then tags Hobbs! The fans fire up as Hobbs climbs up, and he rains down fists!
Hobbs gets his TEN, then he tags in Cassidy! Sacramento is thunderous as Cassidy goes up, and he hits ONE! Cassidy is as fired up as Cassidy can be, but then Cage CLOBBERS him! The fans boo but Cage snarls as he whips Cassidy to a corner. Cassidy goes up and out, ducks a shot, and he buckle bumps Cage! But Cage stops Cassidy from taking him side to side! Cage swings, Cassidy ducks and RAMS low! Cassidy slingshots, but Cage blocks the blockbuster to make it a JACKHAMMER! Cage tags Archer and the Murderhawk looms over Cassidy. The fans rally for Freshly Squeezed, but Archer stands Cassidy up to ROCK him!
Cassidy wobbles, but Archer keeps him standing. Archer stands Cassidy up again to ROCK him again! Cassidy wobbles, but says hold on. He puts his free hand in his pocket! Archer reels Cassidy in, Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges, then goes again, but Davis stands in the way! Archer ripcords Cassidy for the HELLICOASTER!

Adam Copeland VS Wheeler Yuta!
The Rated R Superstar promised Jon Moxley that he’d eliminate the Death Riders one by one, until there was no one to stand between him and The Maniac. Pac was first, then with Willow Nightingale’s help, Claudio Castagnoli and Marina Shafir fell on the same night. The Decoder is the last line of defense, will even he be the victim of a Con-Chair-To? Or does Yuta have what it takes to cope with the situation?
The bell rings and the fans fire up for Cope. Cope and Yuta step up, tie up, and Cope powers Yuta to a corner. The ref counts, Cope lets off at 4, and then backs up. The fans tell Yuta, “Get a Haircut!” but he ignores that while brushing hair out of his eyes. The two tie up again, Cope puts Yuta in another corner, but he again backs off as the ref counts. But then Cope blocks Yuta’s kick! Cope lets off, oddly being a good sport with Yuta. They tie up, and then Cope trips Yuta! Yuta is annoyed and he resets with Cope.

Yuta then goes back to Cope, goes out to the apron, and he stands on Cope’s neck! The ref counts, Yuta stops at 4 again, then he puts Cope in position for a GUILLOTINE LEG DROP!

Winner: Adam Copeland, by pinfall
The Decoder was good, but Cope had his own solution to the puzzle! But now the question is… What will Cope do to Yuta? Cope has a mic, and he shakes Yuta’s hand?! Cope tells Yuta, “This is what respect feels like.” Cope choosing to take a more diplomatic approach here, knowing that what Moxley puts Yuta through is torture enough. Will we see there’s still a shred of dignity inside The Decoder? Oh, wait, speaking of Moxley, he storms out from the crowd! Moxley is upset with Yuta and that handshake, he wanted Yuta and Cope to murder each other! Moxley pushes Yuta around, and says Yuta better not be listening to Cope’s crap.
The fans boo as Moxley bullies Yuta more, pushing and pie facing him around! The fans now chant for Yuta to stand up to Moxley! Yuta does, by pushing past him! Moxley tells Yuta to get back here, then storms to the back to follow him. Moxley says fine, keep walking! If Moxley sees Yuta again…! Moxley grumbles about Cope being a master manipulator, then he talks to Cope through the camera. “Congratulations, Cope, you did it! I’m all alone! I’ll be all alone at Revolution. Defenseless. I’ll be like a sheep. You think you can just pick me off that easy? That’s what you think? Alright, you win, man. You win. You got to me!
“You pissed me off. You distracted me. You’ve wasted my time. You’ve brought out the worst in me, Copeland. You’ve successfully rattled my cage. Congratulations. But the bars were there for your safety. Now you’ve got me all alone, just like you wanted. What’re you gonna do with that, huh? What’re you gonna do to me on Sunday at Revolution? Nothing, that’s what you’ll do. You’ll do NOTHING! Rated R Superstar? You deserve to get your ass beat! And I’m gonna enjoy doing it! I’m gonna enjoy every second of beating your ass, because you deserve it and because I want to. Cuz it’s gonna make me feel good.
“Respect? You’re trying to show this kid about respect with a handshake? No. This business… There is no respect in this business! There never has been! I seem to be the only guy who gets that! You get respect one way in this business: when people know that you are willing to pull the trigger. And you pulled the trigger on me one, two, three times. Sunday at Revolution, I only gotta pull the trigger once.” Moxley storms off, but is he playing right into Cope’s hands? Or will there be no end to The Maniac’s reign of terror?
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd meet by the Tower Bridge. Truth says this is their shot, and it may never come again. Turbo says yeah, but they’re ready to win those AEW World Tag Team Championships. WIN! We then get an Outrunners music video, “You Are Not Alone,” supposedly released… in 1987? And the video is of course a training montage straight outta Rocky. Will the Youngest Men Alive have the eye of the tiger as they take on The Hurt Syndicate?
MJF is still outside.
And it would seem he’s waiting for Hangman to come find him. MJF yells, “Hangman! Where you at, bud?” MJF says this is so typical. Renee Paquette walks up to MJF and says he’s obviously waiting for Hangman, but what’s the game plan? MJF says it doesn’t matter, because clearly Hangman isn’t going to show. Your cowboy is a gutless, yellow-bellied coward! And this Sunday, MJF will prove Hangman is not the main character. AEW’s main character, whether you like it or not, is MAXWELL! JACOB! FRIEDMAN! M J F! Wait, that longhorn-adorned R1T is pulling up… And it’s not stopping!! MJF and Renee run for it!
Hangman pulls over, gets out of the truck, and shouts, “Why you running, dumbass?! Get back here!!” Hangman stalks MJF, enters the building, and spots him! Hangman CLOBBERS MJF, they brawl onto the stage, and the fans fire up as Hangman throws MJF into railing! Wait, that’s not MJF! It’s just some guy in a matching suit and scarf! The guy pleads with Hangman, MJF made him do this! What?! MJF then CLOBBERS Hangman from behind! The Scumbag is the real coward, needing a decoy! MJF then THROWS Hangman into the apron! MJF drags Hangman in through the ropes, for a HEAT- NO, Hangman throws MJF away!
MJF’s leg buckles, Hangman takes aim! Slingshot, BUCK- LOW BLOW!! MJF hits Hangman first, then puts Hangman back in the ropes. The fans boo but MJF hits the HEATSEEKER!! MJF takes off his belt, takes off his button-up shirt, and reveals his T-shirt that reads “MJF DID NOTHING WRONG.” The fans boo because that’s just not true. MJF rains down fists on Hangman, security rushes out here, but MJF DECKS each guard, one after the other! MJF then brings out the Dynamite Diamond Ring, puts it on his pinkie, and- HANGMAN TACKLES HIM! The fans fire up as Hangman rains fists down in return!
MJF gets loose, DIAMOND PUNCH!! The fans boo but MJF gives the ring a kiss. MJF then goes out and grabs a mic. “You people love when your precious cowboy burns things, don’t you? Let’s see how you hypocrites feel when I do it.” MJF looks under the ring, and he brings out LIGHTER FLUID! MJF brings that over to Hangman, and he squirts it all over Hangman! The fans boo, but then MJF produces a lighter! Refs, security, producers, they ALL rush MJF! They tackle MJF to get that lighter away from MJF, and then get MJF away from Hangman! MJF shouts, “LEMME PROVE MY POINT!” MJF has gone completely insane!
Security carries MJF away kicking and screaming, but what will happen when he and Hangman face off at Revolution? Will the Devil of AEW actually burn The Cowboy alive?
Backstage interview with Ash Avildsen.
Lexy Nair is with the writer and director of the new film, Queen of the Ring, and asks what he can tell us about the movie. Ash says it is based on the true story of Mildred Burke, a small town single mother that pioneered Women’s Wrestling when it was illegal all over America. It has been an honor for him to bring her story to the screen, to work with all the great people here in AEW, from Tony Khan to Jim Ross, who told him about the original novel, and also introduced him to this leading lady. In steps Timeless Toni Storm! Toni says yes, “Mr. DeMille,” that is true, she is starring in the film as Clara Mortensen, “a vivacious vixen, captivating champion, and gorgeous gal.”
Clearly, it was a stretch for Toni. It is a great film, but her only regret is that her nude scenes were cut from the picture. Ash perfectly plays along as he says, “Now, now, darling.” As wonderful as those scenes were, it still had to be PG-13 so that families could come out and see the picture. Toni is box office gold, she may or may not be living healthily as part of his private collection on Mulholland Drive. Lexy says either way, Toni also has a sit-down interview with Renee Paquette and her challenger, Mariah May. Toni says that is also correct. “Mr. DeMille” shouldn’t watch this one. Things could get ugly.
In the meantime… Chin up, tits out, and watch for the Queen of the Ring, in theaters this Friday, March 7th! And now… We pose! Toni gets her close-up from Ash Avildsen, will Queen of the Ring and Revolution make for back to back blockbusters this weekend? Or will it still be All About Mariah?

Say hello to your C E O!” Renee says this Sunday at Revolution, Mone will be facing Momo Watanabe with the TBS title on the line. Mone and Momo met before, but- Mone says she beat Momo. Look, Momo is legit. She is one of the best in Japan, and has beaten some of the best, just to get her shot at Mone. But Mone is the greatest TBS Champion of all time? And there’s no what? Uh, no stopping the Money Train? That’s right, Renee! That’s right!
But before that, AEW Collision will see Momo Watanabe facing Serena Deeb. Does Mone have any predictions for that match? Predictions? We’re talking Serena Deeb here. The Professor of Pro-Wrestling!

Caster makes sure Justin Roberts introduces himself properly, then he copies MJF with his, “Cut my music, cut my music.” The fans boo but Caster says Sacramento is “lookin’ live at the Best Wrestler Alive. And we all know Platinum Max is the most talked about wrestler in AEW. Whenever I’m in the ring, I hear all the Maximaniacs talking! People over here are saying one thing, people over there are saying another thing. But tonight, I want us to all get on the same page. Try to follow along. Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!”
What happened to his sense of rhythm? That is way too awkward of a chant. The fans prefer to boo anyway. Caster says alright, that was a good effort. We’re not gonna get it right on day one. They call this Sac Town for a reason: They’re all a bunch of ball bags! The fans boo, but Caster says no worries, there’s business to attend to. Let’s see who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive!

Sit-down interview with Toni Storm & Mariah May.
As promised, Renee sits down between the AEW Women’s World Champion and her challenger, these former friends turned bitterest of enemies. Renee welcomes us in, thanks them both for agreeing to this talk, and for agreeing to no physicality. Except Mariah immediately SPITS at Toni! Renee is rather startled, and Toni flatly says, “It’s nice to know you still care.” Renee asks Mariah, “What the hell is wrong with you!?” Mariah says, “Me?! It’s her! Look at what she made me do! Look at what she made me do to someone that I love! Sitting there like you’re the victim. You started this! You created all of this!”
Renee says NO, Mariah did this! Mariah came into Toni’s life, she started this! Mariah says she made it all work! All of it! But this is all because of Toni, all because of them together! Toni is nothing without Mariah. That title is nothing without Mariah! Toni survived in Australia, but there will be no surviving at Revolution, because they will both go down together. Is Toni proud of Mariah because she’s a “sick b*tch?” Well, then she’ll be the sickest Toni has ever seen! She is the Woman From Hell, and she will drag Toni down there with her, because deep down, Toni knows that Mariah did it better! Toni is still stern and stoic.
Mariah creeps a little closer, leaning on Renee a bit as she asks, “Isn’t this what you always wanted? A trilogy with your greatest costar, and it’s back where we first shared a ring together, at Revolution. We can have a Hollywood Ending, the one we always dreamed of.” Toni says, “You do not deserve the dignity of death. I sentence you to a lifetime of mediocrity. Your life will continue, your career will continue, and it will be good, but never great. People will like you, but never love you. Because the star that you are will not compare to the monster that you’ve become. So you will dwindle, be replaced, and be forgotten.
“Then one day, many years from now, someone will ask, ‘Whatever will happened to Mariah May?’ She found out what happens when you try to kill God.” Mariah throws her chair aside, she and Toni both stay up, and Renee says she simply prays neither of them gets seriously injured. Both Mariah and Toni tell Renee, “Pray for her.” Win, lose or draw, this WILL be the finale of a true classic! But will it be a tragic ending? Or will it be timeless?

Or will Swerve’s House and the Hounds of Hell whet their appetites for destruction just days before Revolution?
The teams sort out and Swerve starts against Okada. They circle, the fans rally behind “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” and the two feel things out. They knuckle lock, Swerve wrenches and hammerlocks, but Okada switches that onto Swerve. Swerve headlocks, then clinches, but Okada puts Swerve in the corner. The ref counts, Okada lets off, and then fakes the chop. Okada pats Swerve on the shoulders, lets him out of the corner, and Ricochet keeps his distance. Swerve and Okada reset, but then Okada backs off to offer Ricochet the tag. Swerve says do it! Ricochet says sure, why not. Okada tags Ricochet in, the fans boo, but then Okada attacks!
Okada and Ricochet mug Swerve, Brody storms in, but the ref has everyone stand down! Ricochet eggs Brody on, but Brody BLASTS Okada! Brody goes out to fire off on Okada and the fans fire up! Swerve fires off on Ricochet, too! Brody sends Okada into railing! Swerve whips Ricochet corner to corner, then back the other way! Swerve runs up, blocks Ricochet’s boots, and he TOSSES Ricochet up and out! Swerve then goes after Ricochet on the outside! Brody sends Okada into more railing! Sacramento is thunderous as Brody holds up a fan sign, and Swerve makes Ricochet take a seat. Swerve then coordinates with Brody.
Brody whips Swerve at Ricochet, and Swerve KNEES Ricochet against the railing! He almost takes out the camera feed with that! But Okada runs up, only for Swerve to dodge! Okada BOOTS Ricochet, then Swerve ROCKS Okada! Okada sits on Ricochet’s lap, and Swerve even barks along as Brody runs in! Brody CROSSBODIES them both against the railing! The fans are thunderous while Ricochet cries in pain! Swerve pushes Okada down, Brody drags Okada up, and then Brody scoops Okada. Swerve has Ricochet, and Swerve hoists Ricochet onto Brody’s other shoulder! Brody carries both men around as Swerve goes up!
Swerve runs, DOUBLE STOMP SLAM COMBO! The fans are thunderous as Brody puts Ricochet in the ring. Swerve and Brody coordinate again, Brody whips Swerve to UPPERCUT Ricochet! Swerve snapmares Ricochet for Brody to SENTON! Then Swerve goes up, FALLING UPPERCUT! Swerve hits the Griddy and Sacramento is loving it! Swerve even “buries” Ricochet in a shallow grave. Swerve drags Ricochet up, whip, but Ricochet reverses. Swerve grabs ropes to avoid the superkick, then he BOOTS Ricochet down! Swerve DECKS Okada for good measure before he somersaults, into a CODE BREAKER! The fans boo but Ricochet covers, TWO!
Ricochet stomps away on Swerve, taunts Brody, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref reprimands Ricochet but he focuses on Swerve in a corner. Ricochet digs his boot in, the ref counts, but Ricochet stops at 4. Ricochet argues with the ref about all of Swerve’s extracurriculars, then stands Swerve up. Ricochet UPPERCUTS Swerve, puts him in the corner, and he CHOPS! Ricochet keeps Swerve up, tags in Okada, and they mug Swerve. Okada TOSSES Swerve out, then goes out to bring him around. Okada SMACKS Swerve off the steel steps! And then does it again! Okada taunts the fans, flips them off, then goes back to Swerve. Okada stands Swerve up, but Swerve grabs and bends Okada’s fingers!
Swerve ELBOWS Okada, but Okada kicks low! DDT to the floor! Okada refreshes the count while Ricochet mocks Swerve. Okada drags Swerve up, puts him in the ring, and then keeps him from Brody. The fans rally as Okada stands Swerve up, for a DDT! Cover, TWO! Okada tags Ricochet, Ricochet swaggers around, then he KNEES Swerve in the back! And KNEES him again! Swerve goes to ropes, Ricochet taunts Brody, then he CHOKES Swerve! The ref counts, Ricochet stops at 4, then he drags Swerve around. ROPE GUILLOTINE! Swerve sputters, the ref reprimands, but Ricochet just soaks up the heat.
Ricochet drags Swerve around to then go up, out, and KNEE-BOARD SENTON! Ricochet struts around, does his own Griddy, then tags Okada. Okada drags Swerve up, puts him in a corner, then ROCKS him with a forearm. Swerve fires back, Okada ROCKS him again, and Dynamite returns to single picture. The forearms go back and forth, but Okada UPPERCUTS Swerve. Okada whips corner to corner, then runs in, but Swerve dodges the elbow! Okada hits buckles, but he keeps Swerve from Brody by pulling hair! Swerve blocks a kick, slips under and around to then hit a BACKBREAKER! Swerve shoves and DROPKICKS Okada down!

Okada leaps over Brody, comes back to BOOT, then UPPERCUTS! Okada runs, but Brody roars and LARIATS! Both men are down and the fans fire up again! Okada and Brody crawl, hot tags to Ricochet and Swerve!

Winner: Ricochet & Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall
Another dirty, underhanded tactic takes the win away from Swerve! Will Ricochet use this exact same strategy to win at Revolution? Or will cheating The Most Dangerous Man in AEW end very, very badly?
My Thoughts:
An awesome episode of Dynamite here, especially as a go-home to Revolution. For one, great stuff from MJF and Hangman, such as Hangman making good on his promise to go after MJF with his truck. Very clever stuff with the decoy, and then a very good brawl. MJF threatening to light Hangman on fire was also wild, but a clever direction to take this. Obviously he wasn’t gonna pull it off here, but I’m sure MJF will try it at Revolution. Jack Perry once got set on fire with proper precautions, I wonder if they’ll actually do it for MJF and Hangman.
Great 8 Man Tag to do a lot in the Don Callis Family story at once. While Ospreay’s team wins, them getting beat down does help muddy the go-home math. Obviously Cassidy & Briscoe are going to help Big Boom AJ win against #MXMTV on Sunday, so they have to be figuratively on the ropes here. Davis being reluctantly part of what happened to Ospreay makes me think Davis will ditch the Don Callis Family and help Ospreay win the cage match. And with word Jeff Cobb could be joining AEW in the near future, I feel like the United Empire will finally get going in AEW as a trio to start.
Cope VS Yuta was not at all the match I expected, but clearly that was per Cope’s plan. Cope wants Yuta to understand that he doesn’t have to be alongside Moxley anymore, and for the moment, it seems to have worked. Yuta could still stick by Moxley’s side given Jay White is sticking by Cope’s, but I guess we’ll wait and see. White answering Caster’s open challenge was good stuff given it also did two birds with one stone: Caster continues to lose because of his ego, and White got a win that he can carry to the other side of Revolution.
Very good tag match from Kris & Rosa VS Megan & Ford, and it makes sense the Heels would win this given Megan has already become quite the force here in AEW. Depending on how things go with titles, Megan could easily be in line for at least the TBS Championship. Mone had a very good promo to not only hype her match with Momo on Sunday, but to add a little something to Collision. In fact, Collision is being taped tonight right now after Dynamite so that everyone can rest up before Revolution. Mone on commentary for Momo VS Deeb will be good stuff, but I would think Momo wins. The go-home math will then favor Mone winning on the PPV.
I loved that Outrunners vignette, because it was very on-brand for their 1980s throwback gimmick. But as much as fans love them, and as awesome as it would be for them to pull off the upset, I don’t see Truth & Turbo winning the tag titles just yet. It just seems that we’re going to get Lashley & Shelton VS Archer & Cage first, given how the Hurt Syndicate purposefully made sure Archer & Cage lost the tag match. Though who knows, maybe Archer & Cage are why Truth & Turbo win as payback for that very screw job last week.
Great stuff in the AEW Women’s World Championship story. For one, Ash Avildsen playing along with Toni was a really fun promo. Then, Toni Storm and Mariah May probably gave us AEW’s best sit-down interview promo ever, because of how expectations were subverted from start to finish. Mariah spitting at Toni was her way around the No Physicality Agreement, and then Mariah was rather, uh, bipolar with how she talked to Toni. First she was upset, then she was almost pleading with Toni, because somewhere in that twisted mind, there’s still love there. Toni being completely stern that whole time was also a great way to play it. Their Hollywood Ending Falls Count Anywhere really could go either way, but I’m leaning towards Toni retaining.
And awesome stuff from Swerve and Ricochet tonight. Their contract signing to open was really good, especially with Swerve countering Ricochet’s shiny gold scissors with pitch black scissors. I am pretty sure Ricochet’s “upgraded” Embassy robe will be all about himself, but I would think they’d use a different robe as well, like a stand-in stunt robe or something just so they don’t actually do anything to the Embassy robe. The tag match main event was rather outta nowhere but it was still awesome stuff, and it also serves multiple go-home math equations at once. The Heels stand tall, Ricochet pinning Swerve, because I’m pretty sure Swerve wins at Revolution. Okada VS Brody could still go either way, but it’d be a great honor for Brody to not just beat Okada but to win the title.
My Score: 9/10

Jordynne Grace talks with Ava Raine backstage.
The Juggernaut knows the NXT General Manager knows, but there is unfinished business between her and Roxanne Perez from Battleground. Ava does know that, and given how she interrupted Grace- Cora Jade interrupts and says this is crazy! Because Ava told her she had time to talk today. Yes, but Ava and Grace were just finishing up. Grace says maybe Cora is just here to protect her BFF. Cora says what Grace is not gonna do is act like she knows Cora. Because FYI, Cora and Roxie are NOT BFFs anymore. But Cora is here to thank Ava, because Ava just set up a match of Cora and Grace’s best buddy, Masha Slamovich, for the TNA Knockouts Championship.
Oh, and when Cora takes the title, she’ll take it to places neither Grace nor Masha ever did. Wow, Cora and Roxie are perfect for each other. Uh, Cora will hold Grace’s hand when she says this: an NXT superstar holding the TNA title will make it more important than it has ever been. Especially when that person is Cora. Grace tells Cora that the day she wins the Knockouts title is the day Grace retires. Then start packing now! Ava has them calm down, because she knows where this is going. Ava isn’t even mad about it, because they can settle it in the ring. Cora said exactly what she thought. Bye-bye, Jordynne~! Bye~!
Cora heads out, but does she understand what she’s gotten herself into? Or will the Generation of Jade not even make it to her match with Masha?
Trick Williams talks with Ava Raine.
Trick is not letting it end like this. They all heard what Eddy Thorpe said last week, he will fight Trick anytime, anywhere! Ava says that’s not how this works, but then in step Uriah Connors & Kale Dixon. They heard Ava got a new office, so they got her a gift basket. Trick says now is not the time. Come back later with the package. Okay, thanks, bye. Kale says, “Calm down, brochacho. We’re just here to give Ava a gift.” Trick asks, “Did I stutter? I said come back with your package. Go bother Mr. Chase or something.” Wow, Trick is gonna talk about Chase like that? Facts: Trick is literally the reason Chase U got put on the line in the first place!
Trick shoves Kale right up against the wall! Trick is NOT playing with your punk ass! They’ll find out tonight, while Ava makes up her mind about Trick VS Eddy. Trick storms off, Kale and Uriah says, “In honor of Mr. Chase.” But is Kale biting off far more than he can chew? Or will the last class of Chase U find a way to Whoop Dat Trick?
Kelani Jordan VS Jaida Parker!
These two have argued, fought, snapped at each other, and just can’t stand each other. Will this match finally put things to rest?
NXT returns and Kelani makes her entrance. The bell rings and the fans rally. The two tie up, go around, and then break. Jaida shoves Kelani, Kelani shoves back, and they tie up again.

Jaida wants another! HIP-NOTIC into the steel steps!! Kelani staggers back up, staggers over to Jaida, and puts her in the ring. “This is Awesome!” as Kelani climbs up the corner again. Jaida stands to ROCK Kelani first! Jaida climbs, but Kelani ROCKS her!
Kelani HAMMERS away, and Jaida falls into the drop zone! 450 FLOP!! HIP-NOTIC!! Cover, Jaida wins!!
Winner: Jaida Parker, by pinfall
Kelani flies high, but she crashes ‘n’ burns! Miss Parker says she’ll be at Roadblock watching Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer. #ClockIt! The champions are surely taking note of this rising contender, but will it be the Beautiful Madness or La Primera when Jaida takes her shot on goal?
Backstage interview with The D’Angelo Family.
Kelly Kincaid is with The Don, as well as Adriana Rizzo, Luca Crusifino & Stacks. Kelly says the last time Tony was in this building, he was driven from the top rope onto a steel chair, all by Shawn Spears. Tony says first thing’s first, welcome back Kelly, it is good to see her again. But Tony’s mother always told him, “If you got nothing good to say about a woman, say nothing.” Now, Tony has a lot to say about Izzi Dame. But he is sure our friends at CW will respect his decision to just say, next question. Fair enough. How is Tony’s back? Is this too soon for a return?
Tony says he understands Stacks’ concern for his back. About going out there in this condition. And it is Stacks’ call when Tony’s not around. But Tony’s here. And while clearly Spears is putting together a “little family” of his own, understand this: There is only ONE family in NXT, and that’s the D’Angelo Family. The Don may not physically be 100%, but he is 100% focused. Will nothing The Chair Man does stop Tony from being the North American Champion?
NXT checks in on the Roadblock Press Conference.
Oba Femi is at the podium, and the first question is, after having a few defenses now, what is it like to defend his title while also representing NXT against a wrestler from a different company? Oba says holding the title and representing the brand is not something he takes lightly. But Moose is a five star athlete, and we will witness two Nigerian titans go head to head for the first time. But this match is one Oba cannot afford to lose. Because if he does, we’d have a TNA wrestler running around with the NXT Championship around his waist. Oba will not allow it.
The second question is the size difference between Oba and Moose, given they have similar builds. Oba says you all saw the match with Lexis King last week. Moose is big, like Oba, and he is no slouch. That man can go. But one thing holds true: Oba has faced men smaller than him, equal in size to him, and even a few somehow bigger than him. But Oba hits first, and he hits hard. When he gets his hands on Moose, Moose will wish he never left the NFL. Oba says no more questions, but he will leave us with this: At The Theater in Madison Square Garden, Oba will walk in and walk out the NXT Champion, and still The Ruler.
The Hardy Boyz are here!
While their NXT in-ring debut was last week, this is the first time Matt & Jeff have been here in Orlando’s NXT Arena! The fans are all fired up as the Hardy Boyz go to the ring, and they chant, “Welcome Home! Welcome Home!” Jeff & Matt take a moment to revel in that. Jeff says, “Man oh man oh man! The last few weeks have felt surreal! It feels so good to be here in NXT! And it feels so damn good to be back home in the WWE!” Matt thanks the fans, and he says he feels the love. Coming home to WWE, to be on NXT for the very first time, and to be able to face a top team like No Quarter Catch Crew, it was exhilarating! It was amazing!
And Matt must tell us, they’ve been all over. Millions and millions of miles! But the positivity of the NXT locker room is off the charts! Something special is happening here in NXT! Jeff says amen, the fire in the eyes are alive, and the hunger is infectious. The Hardys looked Fraxiom in the eyes, and Jeff has to say, he saw the same fire that took him and Matt to unimaginable heights in this business! Wait, Hank ‘n’ Tank come out here? The fans are a bit torn, but Tank apologizes. They mean no disrespect! They actually came out here to say, “Thank you.” Yes, thanks for showing us all what it means to be a tag team!
Hank ‘n’ Tank just want some advice. Because who better to ask than the GOATS? Hank says he and Tank have been feeling like they’ve missed something. Something to take them to the next level. What do they gotta do? Matt says they know who Hank ‘n’ Tank are, they enjoy Hank ‘n’ Tank’s work, and they respect Hank ‘n’ Tank. But they’re young, strong, big, and hungry! But sometimes, to make someone notice you, you gotta break the norm. Yeah, Jeff says sometimes, you gotta take things to the extreme! Oh, extreme? Like tables? Like ladders? Like chairs? Oh my! No no no! It’s more than that!
It’s about getting outside your comfort zones and going past your perceived limits, beyond what you are. Matt says look at Hank ‘n’ Tank. They have the same hunger as the Hardys had in 1998 when they debuted in WWE! And when they first went extreme, it wasn’t about TLC. It was about taking risks, and bet on themselves, and step to challenges that seem impossible and make them possible! Wait, wait, wait, here comes Josh Briggs & Yoshiki Inamura! The Bullhead Brawler says he hates interrupting a Hardy Party, but he’ll be blunt with them. Hank ‘n’ Tank need to remove their lips from the Hardy Boys’ asses! They see what you’re doing!
Briggs wants everyone to listen, but the fans just boo. Briggs tells Matt & Jeff that they can give Hank ‘n’ Tank all the advice under the sun, but it’s a waste of breath. If Hank ‘n’ Tank want advice then stop playing damsels in distress. The Hardys ain’t giving Hank ‘n’ Tank a title shot, Briggs & Inamura are taking it! If Hank ‘n’ Tank got a problem with that, then do something about it! It’s THEIR turn! Hank asks Tank if he’s thinking what Hank’s thinking. Tank says extremely! They DOUBLE DIVE onto Briggs & Inamura! The fans fire up as these four big boys brawl to the back, but wait! Someone sneaks in behind the Hardys!
But Matt says, “Fraxiom! I knew you’d come~! HAHAHAHAHA!” Yep, Axiom & Frazer are there! Axiom says what a dream match: The greatest tag team of today VS the greatest tag team of all time. In just seven days. Make sure to bring your best. The fans chant “DELETE! DELETE!” Frazer says they most certainly will. And next week, they put the discussion to bed. Time to find out who is truly the best tag team today! Then see you in New York City. The Hardys hold up their belts, but will they still have those belts after battling Fraxiom in the Big Apple?
Jordynne Grace VS Cora Jade!
The Juggernaut wants to make an impact on NXT, and while she wants payback on The Prodigy, she’ll warm up using Roxie’s former best friend. But will Cora prove she can be TNA Knockouts Champion by taking down a former champion? Or will Cora be the one jaded?
Masha is in the crowd and smiles at Cora. Cora tells her to shut up and sit down. The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, Grace headlocks for the takeover, but Cora fights up. Grace hits another takeover, but Cora fights up again. Grace hits a third takeover, and Cora gets frustrated. Cora pulls hair, wrenches out, then headlocks in return. Grace powers up and out, blocks a boot, but Cora gest around to roll Grace. Grace rolls through to fireman’s carry! Grace RAMS Cora into the corner, RAMS her again, but Cora slips free. Cora whips but Grace reverses! Cora hits buckles, the fans fire up, and Grace whips to CLOBBER Cora!
Grace runs to LARIAT, then she dares Cora to get up. Cora stands, Grace atomic drops her, then shoves her for a scoop and tilt-o-whirl SLAM! Cover, TWO! Cora stays in this but Grace stays focused. Grace brings Cora up to LARIAT Cora front and back! Cora sputters, Grace winds up, but Cora dodges! Only for Grace to scoop and SIDEWALK SLAM! The fans fire up as Grace watches Cora go to a corner. Grace runs up to UPPERCUT, but then Cora pulls hair! Cora THROWS Grace into buckles! The fans boo but Cora runs corner to corner, and BOOT WASHES Grace! Cover, ONE!! Grace is tougher than that, but Cora pushes her around.
Cora SMACKS Grace off the mat, but the fans rally for Grace. Cora stands Grace up, reels her in, but Grace blocks! Grace shakes her head, wrenches free, and CHOPS! CHOPS! CHOPS! Grace runs, but Cora follows to ROCK Grace! Cora KICKS the legs out, then runs to IMPLODER- NO, Grace avoids the stomps! Cora drags Grace up from the apron to fire KNEES in the ropes! Cora then shoves Grace down, mocks her, and soaks up the heat while NXT goes picture in picture.
Cora drags Grace up and through the ropes, CLUBS away on her! Cora runs to then DROPKICK! Grace flops into the ring, Cora covers, ROPEBREAK! Cora HAMMERS away on Grace, then lets off. Grace drags herself up, Cora kicks low, but Grace hits back. Cora whips Grace, Grace reverses, and Grace scoops for a POWERSLAM! Grace goes up to VADER FLOP! Cora stomps Grace down, then SMACKS her off the mat! Cora soaks up the heat while she cleans off her hands. Cora goes up and IMPLODER STOMPS! Cover, TWO! Grace is still tougher than that, but she slaps some fire back into herself. Cora paces, brings Grace up, but Grace fights the lift!
Grace RAMS Cora into a corner! The ref has Grace back up to check Cora. Grace eggs Cora on, but even the ringside physician checks Cora. Grace paces while she waits and NXT returns to single picture. Cora is still being checked on, and she has to call it. Grace wins by stoppage!
Winner: Jordynne Grace, by referee stoppage
Not quite a knockout, but this is the difference between a Juggernaut and everyone else. Will Cora be alright to still challenge Masha at Sacrifice? Is this an example to what’s in store for Roxie?
Video interviews with Ethan Page and Je’Von Evans.
All Ego and the Young OG are naturally in separate locations as Vic Joseph, Booker T & Corey Graves begin this interview ahead of their New York Street Fight next week. How did we get to this moment? Ethan says it goes back to December. Ethan had no path back to the title, yet some 20-year-old kid comes to the ring to give him a pep talk. Je’Von, look at you. Full of joy and energy, all because he’s in the WWE, living his best life. Meanwhile, it took almost Je’Von’s entire life for Ethan to just get to the WWE! And on top of that, Je’Von is gonna talk to Ethan about being a husband and father!?
That was the moment when Ethan realized, “Maybe it’s not All Ego, maybe I became All Soft.” And he snapped. Was it jealousy? Damn right! It is jealousy! Je’Von, listen to Ethan, because he means every single word of this: If Ethan could break Je’Von’s jaw again, he’d do it in a heartbeat! Ethan is the most dangerous he has ever been in his entire career. And NXT is silly enough to give Ethan a match with Je’Von, where there are no rules?! Absolutely none?! Je’Von says exactly, there won’t be any rules in New York! Je’Von hasn’t been able to talk for three months because of Ethan. Ethan took Je’Von’s smile, his joy, everything.
Je’Von has loved the WWE his whole life, and this situation has made him see it in a different way. Like last week, what was he doing? Rocking! What was Ethan doing? Running! But guess what? Next week, ain’t no running in New York! For three months, Je’Von had to deal with Ethan. It made Je’Von realize that there will be guys like Ethan trying to hold guys like Je’Von down, and he puts this on everything he loves, and even on his mama. Je’Von will not be held down no more. No one takes his joy, and no one takes his smile, straight facts! Then any last words before next week?
Je’Von and Ethan both want to speak, but they both get mad over the other interrupting. Ethan vows to end Je’Von’s career! Je’Von says Ethan messed up. But who will have the last word when these two get to cut loose in The Theater?
Trick Williams VS Kale Dixon w/ Uriah Connors!
Whether or not Trick is at fault that Chase U was collateral damage with Ridge Hollands is only for historians to decide. But Mr. Chase isn’t exactly going to be the one teaching that class… Will Chase U be avenged? Or will Kale learn first hand why you don’t get on Trick’s bad side?
NXT returns and Trick makes his entrance. Kale and Uriah have one last pep talk, then the bell rings, TRICK SHOT!! Trick rains down fists on Kale, the ref has Trick back off, it’s OVER! KNOCKOUT!!
Winner: Trick Williams, by referee stoppage
Trick isn’t done, though, as he grabs a mic and calls out Eddy Thorpe! “You just saw your whole life flash before your eyes! You want me? Come out here and see what it’s about then, dawg!” And here comes The Alpha Wolf! Trick is ready, but then Eddy is in the perch! Eddy grins as he says Trick has really been struggling with not being the man around here anymore. But Trick still walks around here like he is, right? Even though they both know it should be EDDY dammit! Eddy beat Trick at Vengeance Day, but it looks he’s gotta beat it into Trick and the fans that Eddy IS the man. And it has to be definitive.
So in two weeks, Eddy VS Trick! They do this in NXT UNDERGROUND! Trick says if Eddy wants him in two weeks, he’ll see his punk ass in the Underground! The fans like the sound of that! But when there’s no ropes and no holding back, who will make it out in one piece?
ROXIE ATTACKS GRACE!
The Prodigy clearly used a chair and whatever else is backstage to take down the Juggernaut! Roxie says, “Welcome to NXT!” But refs rush in to stop Roxie! Roxie drops the chair, leaves Grace behind, but has she only added fuel to the fire?
NXT checks back in on the press conference.
Moose now takes the podium, and he has one last question. He has competed in a lot of big matches in TNA, but where does his match with Oba rank in his career? Moose says he is a prizefighter and always fights for the biggest prizes. So when the NXTNA collaboration was official, he knew there was one match he wanted. Moose was patient, waited, and when the right opportunity came to cross over, here we are. If he’s being honest, there is no match bigger in this relationship than Oba VS Moose. And he gives credit where credit is due, Oba has been one hell of a champion in NXT. And he will be a major player in the WWE for many, many years.
And he can be the Ruler of NXT, he just won’t be NXT Champion. Because next week, Moose leaves Roadblock with TWO titles, as your dual TNA X-Division & NXT Champion. Moose will be the Face of Both Franchises. Moose heads out, and Ava takes the podium. The NXT GM says Roadblock is shaping up to be the biggest show in NXT history. And based on what’s happened the past couple of weeks, including tonight, Ava can announce now, Roxanne Perez VS Jordynne Grace will happen for The Theater in Madison Square Garden. Alright, they’ll wrap this up with one final question just for her.
A hand shoots up, and it’s Fallon Henley of the Fatal Influence. Fallon says they are all “dying” to know why Fallon hasn’t gotten her rematch for the Women’s North American Championship. First it was Karmen Petrovic, and now Giulia is getting her shot? What about Fallon!? Ava says they can talk about this later. Fallon says NO, they talk about this now! Ava says no, she’s got the main event to watch, but Fallon will not let her leave! Ava does leave, Jacy & Jazmyn also complain, but if there’s one person not under The Influence, it’s the Final Boss of NXT. But what will Ava say about Fallon’s rematch?
Ricky Saints crosses paths with Ridge Holland.
Ricky offers a fist bump as he introduces himself, and Ridge says he knows who Ricky is. Big win in his debut last week. But it didn’t move Ridge. Ricky doesn’t belong. Oh, okay. Well, guess what? Get used to seeing a whole lot of him. Ricky moves on, only to cross paths with Shawn Spears. Spears smiles, and says this revolution will be televised, when Spears wins the North American Championship. Spears keeps smiling as he leads Izzi Dame, Niko Vance & Brooks Jensen on. Will The Chair Man be in charge? Or will he just have to FOGEDABOUTIT?
NXT North American Championship: Tony D’Angelo VS Shawn Spears!
From day one, The Don said he would run NXT. And though many doubted him, he backed up his word, and just look at him now! Though, perhaps the painful truth The Chair Man brings tonight is that he will do exactly the same thing. Will Spears finally have the gold he has been hunting? Or will nothing stop The D’Angelo Family from being THE family in NXT?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who really runs things around here!
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Tony and Spears stare down, then Spears throws a shot! Tony counter punches, fires more shots, then whips. Spears reverses, Tony ducks but Spears hits a THESZ PRESS! Spears rains down fists, Tony gets away to a corner, but Spears CHOPS him! Tony just snarls at him! The fans fire up as Tony puts Spears in the corner! Tony CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS, then fires haymakers! Tony whips, Spears reverses, but Tony comes back to LARIAT! The fans fire up with Tony while Spears’ team freaks out. Tony drags Spears up and puts him up top! Tony climbs up, then he fires hands!
Spears throat chops, Tony staggers back, and Spears hops down. Spears knees low, HEADBUTTS Tony, then he whips. Tony reverses but Spears KICKS Tony away! Spears runs, Tony dodges and SUPERMAN PUNCHES! Cover, ONE!! Spears stays in this but Tony stays cool. Tony stands Spears up to ROCK him, then he follows Spears to a corner. Tony hoists Spears up top, climbs up, and he throws more hands. The fans rally, but Jensen, Izzi & Niko all bark! The ref tells them to get down, but Tony tells his people to stand down. This is his fight, not theirs. Stacks and the others understand, and then Tony hits a SUPERPLEX! Cover, TWO!
Spears is still in this, but the fans are still behind Tony. Tony stands up while NXT goes picture in picture.
Tony drags Spears up, throws hands, then stalks Spears to another corner. Tony RAMS into Spears again and again, then brings Spears out for more shots. Tony fires the fans up before he gives Spears that hockey scrum! Spears sputters, Tony paces, and Tony tells Spears’ team to back off. Tony goes up to Spears in the corner, and rains down fists! Spears slips out before 5 and trips Tony up! Tony gets stuck in ropes, and Spears hits a DRAPING BACKSTABBER! Tony writhes, Spears storms up, and Spears stomps away on him! The ref has Spears back off, and Spears hobbles a bit as he soaks up the heat.
Spears goes back to Tony, drags him up, and scrapes laces off Tony’s face! Tony sputters and flounders, but Spears drags him around to scrape him again. Spears goes out, grabs his chair, but the ref stops him from bringing it in! This isn’t that kind of match! Spears says fine, and he drops the chair. Then Tony BLASTS Spears down! Tony goes out to drag Spears up and SMACK him off the apron! Tony puts Spears in, runs up, but Spears SUPERKICKS! Tony staggers, Spears hits a CODE BREAKER! NXT returns to single picture as Spears covers, TWO! Tony stays in this and Spears grows frustrated, both “families” coach their leaders on.
Spears drags Tony around, STOMPS his face, then taunts The D’Angelo Family. Spears STOMPS Tony again, then paces around. Tony writhes, Spears drags him up by his hair, and he HIP DROPS Tony down! Spears drags Tony up by his straps, and HIP DROPS him again! The fans rally for Tony, but Spears clamps on with a CAMEL CLUTCH! Tony endures as Spears pulls him back, and the fans rally up. Tony gets his arms free, stands up, and he fires body shots! The fans rally more as Tony fires more shots. Tony whips, Spears reverses, and Spears wrenches to dragon sleeper! BACKBREAKER! Tony writhes and the fans boo.
Spears stalks Tony, drags him up again, and says, “Your family’s done! You hear me?!” Spears says Tony will have nothing, because he is nothing! Tony grabs Spears by the face! The fans fire up as Tony says how’s this for nothing!? They start throwing hands, and Tony gets the edge! Tony whips, CLOBBERS, and DECKS Spears! Then BELLY2BELLY! Spears flounders while the fans fire up with Tony! Tony runs corner to corner, but Spears dodges! Tony stops short, comes back, SPEAR on Spears! Cover, TWO!! Spears survives and Tony grows frustrated, but the D’Angelo Family coaches him up.
Tony goes out, drags Spears up, but Spears RAMS Tony into the apron! The ring count climbs but Spears puts Tony in the ring. Spears goes up the corner, AX- NO, Tony body shots first! Tony reels Spears in, but Spears keeps Tony from getting a leg! Spears trips Tony, ties up the legs, SHARPSHOOTER! Tony endures as Spears sits way back! Spears keeps Tony from the ropes, but Tony powers up! Tony pushes up as the fans rally behind him, and he powers out!! Spears is shocked, but Tony says bring it! Tony blocks a kick, reels Spears in, FOGEDABOUTIT! Cover, ROPEBREAK!! Izzi helped with that one!!
RIZZO TACKLES IZZI! The fans fire up as now the brawl is on! Things spill into the ring, only for Luca to LARIAT Niko up and out! Then Stacks LARIATS Jensen up and out! The ref ushers Stacks out, but then Spears SHOVES Stacks into Tony, AND TONY FALLS ON THE CHAIR!! The fans lose their minds, Stacks freaks out, and Stacks goes to check on Tony. Spears storms out, tells Stacks to move, and says, “So much for family!” Spears puts Tony in the ring, fireman’s carries, and hits C4!! Cover, TWO!??! Tony survives and shocks everyone! Stacks is relieved that he didn’t just cost The Don his gold.
The fans are thunderous for “NXT! NXT!” as Spears drags Tony around. Spears rains down fists, even as the fans rally up. Spears brings Tony up, fireman’s carries again, but Tony fights free! “This is Awesome!” but Spears still THROWS Tony! Tony handsprings through!? Tony staggers, comes back, SPINE- NO, the back gives out!! Spears cradles Tony, SPEARS WINS!!
Winners: Shawn Spears, by pinfall (NEW NXT North American Champion)
The air comes out of the building as Tony literally crumples under Spears! It looked like The Don was going to pull off the comeback, but it was his literal back that fell apart. Is this proof that Spears was right all along?
My Thoughts:
A great NXT that was also part go-home to Roadblock, but WWE needs to decide the marketing on Roadblock already. They put “WWE Roadblock” on the posters and press conference podium, but the graphics and video packages have been using “NXT Roadblock.” I’ll personally go with the latter because duh, this is still very much an NXT only event. And as I expected last week, we are getting Jordynne Grace VS Roxanne Perez, but not quite how I expected. Grace and Cora had a good promo, and were having a great match until an apparent injury to Cora’s face, or possibly even concerns of a concussion because she seemed pretty rattled. Roxie attacking Grace was certainly still the plan, that’s good stuff to lead into next week.
Great tag match from Sol & Zaria VS Chelsea & Piper, and what a great image of angry Chelsea with her bloody nose. But also, a great win for Sol & Zaria. As I wondered last week, we could see Sol & Zaria build up towards the tag titles, but we could also see Sol get in on the Women’s US Championship story now since she pinned Chelsea. Great match from Kelani VS Jaida, and a great win for Jaida. Naturally, Jaida calls out Giulia and Vaquer, wanting the winner and both those titles. Fallon & Fatal Influence had a good promo as part of the press conference promos, and it makes me wonder if Stand & Deliver sees either a Double Header or a Triple Threat Winner Takes All…
The press conference stuff is always a little cheesy, but it at least gave Oba and Moose a reason to give last promos before Roadblock. As I said last week, I don’t see Oba losing the NXT Championship, and despite all we saw tonight, I don’t see The Hardy Boyz losing the TNA World Tag Team Championships. They had a good promo segment with those other teams, but I’m surprised the fans booed Hank ‘n’ Tank for interrupting. Hank ‘n’ Tank VS Briggs & Inamura will be good stuff, as will Hardys VS Fraxiom. I’m sure Hank ‘n’ Tank VS Briggs & Inamura will be an unofficial contender’s match, but with that, I feel like Briggs & Inamura should win.
Great interview promo from Je’Von and Ethan, and that New York Street Fight is going to be awesome. Ethan has done damage to Je’Von, he won at Vengeance Day, so this has to be Je’Von winning for vindication. Good stuff with this “Crashed Out” Trick, as he gets in Kale’s face and then demolishes him in the ring. I feel like all this needs to light a fire back inside Mr. Chase so we can get Chase U or Chase Tech or whatever for this new era. Trick VS Eddy in NXT Underground is going to be awesome stuff, and I have no idea who wins that. And we got more of a cameo from Ricky Saints and Ridge Holland, but that certainly teases something for down the line.
And great stuff from Tony D VS Shawn Spears. When Tony survived C4 the first time, I was sure he was going to retain, but that false finish was just to lower our guard, and then what a surprise for Spears to win. I do like how Stacks was also a factor in things, possibly planting seeds for a D’Angelo family meltdown. The D’Angelo Family story started in NXT 2.0, so it was naturally goofy, but it has really become the hidden treasure of NXT, so whatever comes next is going to be really compelling stuff.
My Score: 8.8/10
