PLAY BY PLAY

CM Punk is here!

Ottawa, Canada fires up as the Second City Saint makes his way to the ring. And not only is it #ClobberinTime, but Punk is in a great mood after making sure Drew McIntyre failed his cash-in on the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Punk gets a mic and says it has been so long since he’s been here! “Is it great to be alive on a Monday night in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada or what?” The fans cheer, and Punk says surprise, surprise, he’s got a lot to get off his chest and to cover. But surprisingly, the first thing he wants to do is recognize someone he has shared a lot of hours in this ring with. Someone Punk once insulted as the New York Yankees.

Congratulations, John Cena, on your retirement. The fans chant “CENA! CENA!” and Punk says he doesn’t know what the future holds, but he’d love to lace ’em up with Cena one more time before he goes. But let’s not do tricks on it, Cena isn’t here tonight but Punk is. Another guy who isn’t here tonight is Drew McIntyre. Punk wanted to come out, lift up the apron skirt to see if McIntyre was hiding under there. But that million dollar body with ten cent brain got himself suspended. If you don’t know, here’s a video. McIntyre had a meltdown after MITB went off the air, and he not only shoved referees, but he elbowed Adam Pearce!

Pearce was pissed, Wade Barrett had to help stop McIntyre from tearing into Pearce more, and there was the suspension. Punk says the ratings just took a dip because McIntyre was on TV. But hey, Punk wants to get his hands on McIntyre, too. McIntyre shouldn’t be shocked that when you pick a fight with Punk, Punk brings the fight to you. You should not be shocked that their are consequences to your actions. Philadelphia, McIntyre blew it because there are consequences to his actions, and you are looking at them! CM Punk is the consequences to all McIntyre’s stupid actions!

If Punk’s gotta fly to Glasgow, pop out a bowl of haggis, he’ll do it. Punk did it, McIntyre blew it again, and we all saw what happened. McIntyre promised to the world he’d win MITB and cash in the same night, but Punk promised that McIntyre would never be champion again so long as there is air in Punk’s lungs. Promise: kept! And if you thought what happened at MITB was bad, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Punk is here to say he wants after McIntyre, but he can’t do that if McIntyre gets suspended. There are consequences for Punk, too. He got fined $25 THOUSAND for interfering at MITB. But if he says himself, money well spent!

McIntyre got fined DOUBLE cuz he’s the Scottish Keyboard Warrior and kept posting online. Punk wants to ask Pearce, please lift McIntyre’s suspension, Ottawa wants to see Punk get after McIntyre! A match, a fight, a brawl in the parking lot, the cheap seats, hard cam side, PUNK WANTS DREW! But instead, he gets Seth Rollins! The fans fire up as The Visionary makes his way out here so Punk goes from ring to commentary. Michael Cole does ask what Punk expected. Rollins ended up collateral damage because of Punk’s actions. Punk says Rollins’ entrance takes too long. Does anyone like this?

Punk sits cross-legged on the desk while Rollins gets a mic. The fans sing “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” as Rollins glares at Punk. Rollins wants to get this straight. NOW Punk will sit on the sidelines? C’mon, Mr. Center of Attention, Rollins knows you love the spotlight, so join him in the ring. Or is he afraid Rollins will kick his ass? The fans fire up and Punk says okay then. Punk goes to the ring as fans chant for him. Punk gets his mic back to say he isn’t sure everyone here remembers the last time these two were face to face. Rollins surely does, but Punk did warn him that that was the only time Rollins could speak disrespectfully, so he better watch what he says.

What? Rollins? Disrespect the best int he world? No! Rollins is here because Punk can help him understand. Actions have consequences, so why does that apply to everyone except Punk? Rollins understands a lot of things: officials made a mistake, that happens. McIntyre can cash in, that was his right. What Rollins can’t wrap his head around is that Punk decided to do the one thing Rollins said not to do. WHY did Punk stick his nose in Rollins’ business? Oh, Rollins’ business? Yes, the world title is his business. Well since Rollins wants an answer, Punk wasn’t in Rollins’ business, he was handling his own.

Oh yes, of course. Punk says hold on, a husband and father like Rollins should understand. Yeah, and Punk isn’t even trying to be disrespectful. McIntyre has a bracelet with the names of Punk’s wife and dog on it! It may not mean anything to Rollins, it may just be 15 cents retail, but it was the intent. And Punk will get his pound of flesh. But he sees it. He hears it. Punk has no quarrel with Rollins. Punk was just handling his business. If he messed things up for Rollins, Rollins can’t be world champion or whatever his pipe dream is- Pipe dream!? Hey, Punk is apologizing, pay attention. Legitimately! Punk hesitates, Rollins says obviously this isn’t Punk’s forte.

Punk says he is sorry. He apologizes. He didn’t mean to screw anything up for Rollins, he’s just blind with rage. Rollins gets like that, too, so Punk is sorry. But because it’s Rollins, Punk isn’t that sorry. Rollins grins and says Punk always has an excuse. No, he has an answer. Still, Punk always has something. This is gaslighting! Punk’s probably never ever sincerely apologized because nothing’s ever his fault. Punk’s so sly, crafty, King of Propaganda. But he’s also gotta be the dumbest smart guy Rollins has ever met in his life! The fans are torn, but Rollins says Punk has most of this figured out, except for one thing that’d actually make him the hero here.

Punk does not realize the world does NOT revolve around him!! So look, Punk can be a selfish bastard anywhere else. Punk can burn bridges wherever else. Rollins will let that slide, because he’s above Punk. And he doesn’t just mean in height right now. Rollins is willing to let the selfishness slide, until Saturday. Because if not for Punk, Rollins would be World Heavyweight Champion. The fans seem to see it that way. Rollins says he is out of shots now. The fans sing for Rollins as he tells Punk it isn’t just a pipe dream. Maybe for Punk, but not Rollins. For Rollins, being World Heavyweight Champion is the most important thing.

So now that Punk took from Rollins, Rollins will take from Punk. Punk wants after Drew so badly, he doesn’t care about collateral? Well too bad, because that won’t happen on Rollins’ watch. Rollins could hit Punk here and now, but Punk’s fragile little body isn’t 100%. But Rollins promises this: When Punk is cleared, he won’t even be able to say “Drew McIntyre” before Rollins puts him back on the shelf. “Actions have consequences.” Rollins mic drops Punk but Punk just smirks. There are consequences, but who will be the one to pay the ultimate price?

 

Adam Pearce talks with someone backstage.

The Raw General Manager says he’ll try. He is sorry for not returning any messages but he was a bit busy with Punk and McIntyre. But what is the problem? Dominik Mysterio says the problem is that he doesn’t want to tag with Liv Morgan! But she was the one who said he’d be happy about this. Plus, Rey & Zelina are good with it. Of course they are! Dom doesn’t wanna tag, he doesn’t want the match. Oh but Dom wanted to stick his nose in the Women’s World title matches? That wasn’t Dom. Pearce says who cares if Dom is unhappy, the match is happening. Happy Monday. Pearce leaves and Liv finds Dom.

Dom asks why Liv is doing this to him! Liv is doing this for him. She’s making this up to him by helping Dom show who the real Daddy Mysterio is. Now, let’s go get ready for our match! Fine, just make sure they win. Of course! Now let’s go talk strategy. Well, as long as there are chicken tendies and/or nuggies… Dom is a reluctant partner in the Liv Morgan Revenge Tour, but will Liv get him to come around? Or will the LWO put an end to this twisted romcom?

 

Jey Uso VS Chad Gable!

While neither man became Mr. Money in the Bank, there’s no end to the title chase. Will Main Event Jey prove he’s worthy of golden opportunities? Or will “Master” Gable SHOOOOSH all the haters?

Raw returns and Gable makes his entrance. Gable has some rib tape given the bad landings and Spear he took on Saturday. The bell rings, the two tie up, and Jey wrenches to a wristlock. Gable rolls, bridges, and handsprings, to then wrench and headlock, spin and drop toehold! Gable SLAPS Jey around, but the fans boo as he lets off. Gable eggs Jey on, Jey stands up, and the two stare down. Gable kicks, Jey blocks to UPPERCUT! “YEET! YEET!” But Gable gets around to waistlock and SLAM! Gable fires off crossface forearms! The fans boo but Gable whips. Jey blocks the hip toss but then Gable blocks back!

They go back and forth with hip toss counters, and then Jey TOSSES Gable out of the ring! The fans fire up and Jey builds speed, to DIVE! But Gable catches Jey for an OEVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Jey has a rough landing and Raw goes picture in picture.

The ref checks, Jey is somehow okay, so Gable drags him up. Gable SMACKS Jey off the desk! Pat McAfee says something to Gable but Gable drags Jey to the ring. Gable puts Jey in, to SLAM a leg into the post! Jey clutches his thigh but Gable slides in. Gable rains down fists on Jey, but lets off as the ref counts. Gable drags Jey up to upt the bad leg through ropes, and he pulls! The ref counts, Gable lets off to then stomp Jey down. Jey writhes, Gable sneers again, and he drags Jey by a leg. Gable steps through, KNEE JAMMER! Then another KNEE JAMMER! Then Gable YANKS the bad leg! Jey writhes more while Gable seethes.

The fans give thumbs down to Gable but he drags Jey up. Gable bumps Jey off buckles, puts his legs through ropes again, DRAPING DRAGON SCREW! Jey clutches his knees but Gable drags him around. Gable puts the bad leg on ropes, for a HIP DROP! Jey writhes but Gable steps through. Gable has a standing toehold on the bad leg and pushes on that knee joint. Jey endures, kicks with the free leg, but Gable keeps on the pressure. Jey kicks and kicks and gets free! Jey throws hands on Gable, but Gable hits back. Jey ROCKS Gable, Raw returns to single picture, and “YEET! YEET! YEET!” Jey backs Gable down, whips, but Gable reels Jey in!

Gable turns Jey to Canadian Rack! DOMINATOR! Gable snarls and goes up a corner. The fans boo but Gable aims, to DIVING HEADBUTT! Just enough of a hit, and Gable covers, TWO! Jey survives but Gable says to get up! Gable then waistlocks, but Jey bucks the O’Conner. Gable comes back but Jey TOSSES him up and out! Then Jey DIVES! Direct hit at the ramp and the fans fire up! Jey hurries to put Gable in, climbs a corner, and CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO! Gable stays in this so Jey fires hands! “YEET! YEET! YEET!” Jey pops, locks, takes off the shirt, and ROCKS Gable again! Gable stays on his feet, blocks a kick, but not the DRAGON WHIP!

The fans fire up as Gable goes to one corner, and Jey backs down to the other. Jey runs in, HIP ATTACK! Jey pushes Gable to the drop zone and goes up, only for Gable to trip Jey up! Jey falls from corner to mat and Gable grabs the leg! ANKLE LOCK!! Jey endures, but the lights start turning off! Gable panics and looks around, and everyone knows what this means! Jey SPEARS Gable! Cover, Jey wins!

Winner: Jey Uso, by pinfall

But now the fireflies are coming out…! Jey says bye, and he gets outta there! And now, the fog rolls in and the piano plays… Gable wakes up as the spotlight turns on, and the fans are losing their minds already. Heeere’s Abby! Gable shakes his head and backs away. Gable hurries out of the ring, goes up the ramp, and gets far away from here. As for Abby, she turns around, and she has another package to deliver. She puts the package down in front of Pat. Pat asks if Cole’s gonna get this, and Cole says nope. Surely then, another VHS message has been sent. What will the Wyatt Sick6 have to say tonight?

 

Backstage interview with Sheamus.

Both Jackie Redmond and The Celtic Warrior just saw what we all saw, and he says that was weird. Jackie hopes we’ll get clarity on that tonight. But as for Sheamus, she has to congratulate him. He reaches 15 YEARS as a WWE Superstar, and he’s already done so much! What’s next? Yeah, 15 years and he’s done it all. Well, almost. It takes that many years to truly understand the business. All these young Thundercats, they think they can take shortcuts, but they can’t. Truly, it takes years before you go out there and put on banger after- Wait. Bronson Reed steps in, and he asks if Sheamus is done.

Bronson doesn’t get why we’re talking about Sheamus’ 15 years when it ended with Sheamus losing. Really, they should be talking about Bronson! He is the one with a match tonight because he is the future. Sheamus is just stuck in the past. Wow. Big bloody Bronson, a crybaby. Who would’ve guessed? And surely if Bronson was watching Sheamus’ career these past 15 years, he’d know what happens when you interrupt him. Bronson and Sheamus will settle this in the ring like proper fellas. Bronson says fine, he’ll fight Sheamus any time. Just not tonight. First, Sheamus can watch what Bronson does to Sheamus’ pal, Pete Dunne.

Bronson heads out and Sheamus frowns. Is the Colossal Aussie about to demolish Dunne? Or can the Bruiserweight find a way to stop the Tsunami?

 

Bronson Reed VS Pete Dunne!

Raw returns as Auszilla makes his entrance, followed by Dunne’s. The bell rings and the two tie up. Bronson headlocks, CLUBS Dunne right down, and then eggs Dunne on. Bronson fireman’s carries but Dunne shifts to an ARMBAR! Bronson goes to the ROPEBREAK, Dunne lets go, and then Dunne BOOTS from a corner. Dunne ENZIGIRIS Bronson, keeps moving and he CLOBBERS Bronson outta the ring! The fans fi reup and Dunne PLANCHAS! Direct hit but Bronson still stays up! So Dunne ASAI MOONSAULTS! Then Dunne goes up to the corner, another ASAI MOONSAULT! Bronson finally falls, the fans fire up, and Raw goes to break.

Raw returns and Bronson has a chinlock on Dunne. The fans rally, Dunne fights up and he bends Bronson’s fingers! Dunne fires CHOP after CHOP but Bronson HEADBUTTS! Dunne ENZIGIRIS, but Bronson LARIATS! The fans fire up as Bronson lines up a shot. SENTON misses as Dunne moves! Dunne runs up to STOMP the hands! BUZZSAW! Then ENZIGIRI in the corner! And a GAMANGIRI! Dunne pushes Bronson, goes up, and he DOUBLE STOMPS an arm! Bronson staggers, Dunne BUSAIKU KNEES! Cover, TWO! Bronson stays in this but Dunne grabs an arm. Dunne bends the fingers again!

Dunne isolates the arm, and he STOMPS it! Bronson clutches the arm, Dunne wrenches it, but Bronson powers out. Bronson runs up, blocks a boot, but Dunne kicks and kicks with the other leg! Bronson gets mad and he reels Dunne in for a BUCKLE BOMB! And then a SITOUT POWERBOMB! Cover, TWO!! Dunne survives and the fans fire up! Bronson is mad now and he goes to a corner. Bronson climbs and the fans know what this means. But so does Dunne, and he gets up to GAMANGIRI! Bronson wobbles, Dunne climbs up, and Dunne bends the fingers! But Bronson HOTSHOTS Dunne on ropes! Then TSUNAMI!! Cover, Bronson wins!

Winner: Bronson Reed, by pinfall

Dunne almost tore Bronson’s arm off, but Bronson still crushed Dunne’s body. And now Bronson wants to do it again! Bronson drags Dunne back to the drop zone, but here comes Sheamus! Sheamus storms right into the ring, Bronson goes after him! The fans fire up as Sheamus takes the fight to Bronson! Bronson HEADBUTTS, Sheamus KNEE CAPS! Dunne GAMANGIRIS! Bronson wobbles, Sheamus BROGUES him outta the ring!! The fans fire up as the Brawling Brutes- NO, Dunne doesn’t want a hug! Dunne leaves Sheamus behind, Sheamus doesn’t get why.

 

Sami Zayn says hey to Braun Strowman & The Awesome Truth.

They all shake, and Truth even gives the Intercontinental Champion a hug. Truth, Miz & Braun are preparing for their Six Man Tag but Sami’s going to gorilla first. What will Sami have to say about what’s next for him after Money in the Bank? We’ll find out, after the break.

 

Judgment Day talks backstage.

Damian Priest says they got through MITB, let’s move on. Seth Rollins walks over and says he just wants to talk. Priest tells his guys to go handle their business. Finn, JD & Carlito head out, and Rollins looks at the title. “You know it’s better to be lucky than good. And Saturday, you were very lucky. But you were also very good. Most importantly, you kept your word. The boys didn’t get involved. And since you kept your word, I’m gonna keep my word. I won’t come for the title as long as you’ve got it. But as good as you were on Saturday, if you want to keep that thing, you gotta be better at SummerSlam.”

Rollins goes to leave but Priest stops him. Priest says he did keep his word. And he knows Rollins will keep his. But Priest still has a lot to prove. So that gentleman’s agreement? They can throw that out the window. Once Priest is done with Gunther, if Rollins wants another shot, Priest will gladly go to war with him again. Just name the time and place. Rollins offers a handshake, Priest takes it. Rollins heads out, and then Priest gets a phone call. He answers, and asks where they’re at. But who is it that called?

 

Sami Zayn goes to the ring!

Ottawa fires up as the Intercontinental Champion is here, and he holds up the belt for all to see. Sami also gets a mic, and the fans sing “OLE~! OLE OLE OLE~!” Sami smiles and says, “Well first of all… Let me just say what an honor it is to be standing in this ring, in the nation’s capital, representing Canada as a champion.” The fans cheer that! Sami says Saturday in Toronto, Bron Breakker walked into MITB, he brought his power, his strength, his speed, but he made the mistake of walking in thinking that Sami was the underdog. Sami has said this before but must say it again: He is no longer an underdog, he is a champion!

The fans cheer for Sami again, and he says, “And if I can take a second to be not so humble, to be a little un-Canadian… I have been putting in top level performances in this ring nigh tin, night out, year in, year out, to where I have earned a certain amount of respect in this ring. And it is a respect that Bron Breakker did not bring to Toronto. And that is why Bron Breakker found out the hard way that it is one thing to knock me down, it is another thing to try and keep me down! And I say this not just to Bron Breakker, but-” WAIT. Here comes Bron Breakker himself! And he goes right to the ring, eyes locked on Sami.

Bron steps in the ring, and Sami asks what he is here for. Is Bron looking for a fight? Maybe a rematch? Did Bron come out here to say anything or is he just going to keep staring? Sami pushes the mic into Bron and Bron takes it. Bron says he came out here to look in the eyes the only man in this locker room who says they can beat him. And Bron didn’t think it’d be Sami. But Bron’s a smart guy. He knows how this goes. There is no reason for Bron to get a rematch for the Intercontinental Championship. So he’s been thinking, and SPEAR!! The fans either boo or bark as Bron then drags Sami to rain down fists!

Producers and refs rush out to the ring to stop Bron! Bron lets off, only to jump on Sami again! Bron rains down more fists, but the producers drag Bron back! Pearce tells Bron to get out of here! What is wrong with him? But then Bron just takes off and he SPEARS Sami down again!! Pearce has had it with Bron and he’s ejecting Bron from the building! But now Ilja Dragunov shows up! The Mad Dragon has to be held back and Bron mockingly says, “I’m so scared!” Dragunov checks on Sami, already having seen Bron sideline the likes of Ricochet. Will Bron get what he wants by any means necessary?

 

Sami gets checked by the trainer.

Dragunov says look at this! Pearce sees it. Then Dragunov wants Bron. If Dragunov wants Bron, then he’s got him, tonight! The Mad Dragon fires up, will he burn Bron down for what he’s done?

 

Six Man Tag: The Judgment Day VS Braun Strowman & The Awesome Truth!

Liv Morgan got Finn Balor & JD McDonagh the WWE World Tag Team Championships, but that only raised the ire of the Monster of All Monsters. Braun stands with The Miz & R-Truth, will they all take down their common enemies? Or will the Prince, Ace and prospect, Carlito, be able to deny the Awesome Truth?

But as Awesome Truth step into the ring, they get attacked 3v2! So here comes #ONEBIGSOB!! The Judgment Day is running away around the ring! Braun grabs Carlito by his hair and THROWS him into barriers! Then Truth & Miz get Finn & JD! DOUBLE ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENTS! The fans fire up as Miz then PLANCHAS JD down on the outside! Braun feeds Carlito to Truth as the bell rings! Truth ducks ‘n’ dodges to fire those SHOULDER TACKLES! Truth shouts out his hero, John Cena, and he hits that SPIN OUT BOMB! And then the “You Can’t See Me!” Five Knuckle Shuffle! Fireman’s carry, and another ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!

Truth covers, but Finn runs in! Truth moves, the ELBOW DROP hits Carlito! Truth TOSSES Finn, then he dodges JD and TOSSES him! Braun, Miz & Truth stand tall as the fans fire up, and we go picture in picture!

Braun, Miz & Truth watch Judgment Day closely on the outside, and Truth goes out to fetch Carlito back into the ring. Truth ROCKS Carlito with a right, tags Miz, and the Awesome Truth hit a DOUBLE GUT BUSTER! Miz then KICKS, KICKS and KICKS Carlito! The It Kicks fire off and then Miz winds up, to BUZZSAW! Carlito flops over, Miz powers up, “MASSIVE! BALLS!” But Carlito arm-drags free of the full nelson! Miz BOOTS Carlito, DECKS Finn and KNEES JD down! Carlito CLOBBERS Miz! The ref has to restore order, and Carlito smirks at Truth. Finn & JD mug Miz before sending him back in.

Carlito tags JD, he goes up, and JD soaks up some heat before he FIST DROPS Miz! JD runs in to RAM Miz in the corner, then he snapmares Miz down. Tag to Finn and he slingshot STOMPS! Finn soaks up the heat, but Miz fires body shots! Finn RAMS Miz into the corner again, tags JD, and they mug Miz more. JD drags Miz up to snap suplex! Cover, TWO! JD stomps Miz in frustration and then ELBOWS him down. JD whips Miz, drop toeholds him, and Raw returns to single picture as JD drops a leg, brother! Cover, TWO! JD clamps onto Miz with a chinlock, but the fans rally up. Miz fights up, throws hands, but JD DECKS him!

JD CLUBS Miz, brings him over and tags Finn. They mug Miz again, and Finn fires hands. Finn snapmares Miz to KNEE him in the back. Finn clamps on a chinlock but the fans rally up. Miz rises, throws body shots, but Finn knees low. Finn whisp Miz away but Miz kicks Finn! DOUBLE LARIATS collide and both men fall! The fans fire up as they both crawl, hot tag to JD! JD anchors Miz’s leg, drags him back, but Miz hops up. JJD ducks the enzigiri to CLOBBER Miz! JD DECKS Truth and grins at Braun. Braun vows to take JD’s giant head off. Miz dodges JD and reaches out! JD drags Miz back again, but Miz LEAPS, hot tag to Braun!

The fans fire up and JD panics! JD begs for mercy, then he dodges. But Braun CLOBBERS JD on the return! Then he scoop SLAMS JD, hauls him back up, and TOSSES him across the ring! Carlito gets in, Braun ROCKS him! SPLASH in the corner for Carlito, but JD dodges! Hot tag to Finn, Finn leaps in, but JD catches him! CHOKE SLAM!! Cover, JD & Carlito break it! They mug Braun but Braun grabs them both! Braun SHOVES them both, to then CLOBBER them both on the rebound! The fans fire up and Braun sees he’s got people on the tracks! Truth says tag him in! Braun does, and now Truth joins in as Braun’s caboose!

The two go together to CLOBBER Finn! And then they CLOBBER Carlito! JD runs away, Braun and Truth rip up their shirts! Braun high-fives fans, as doe Truth, and they find JD hiding in the timekeeper’s area! JD sees them see him, and he throws chairs! Braun gives chase and JD goes through the crowd! Truth is fired up, “What’s up!?” Truth high-fives everyone, and goes back to the ring, Miz warns him but Finn SHOTGUNS Truth down! Truth falls into Miz, Miz falls, and Finn goes up! COUP DE GRACE!! Cover, Judgment Day wins!!

Winners: Judgment Day, by pinfall

Braun returns to the ring but a little too late! Finn & Carlito regroup with JD, they got the better of Awesome Truth again! Will Miz, Truth & Braun ever live this one down?

 

Pearce talks with Punk.

Pearce knows Punk wants McIntyre back, but he’s half the problem. They want a match, right? But McIntyre is throwing refs around and it’s Punk’s fault. It has to stop. So here’s what Pearce is willing to do. Pearce will call McIntyre, see if he’s in a place mentally to even do business, and they’ll meet. But that means Punk can’t be around. He has to stay home. Punk has already been staying at home. Pearce knows that, and Punk didn’t start this, but he’s also someone who doesn’t back down from a fight. So if Punk stirs up another one, the match, the title aspirations, they’re out the window.

They’ve known each other a long time, so please, go home, pet Larry, and let Pearce handle McIntyre. Punk says okay, he’ll work on getting cleared. Punk leaves, but what terms will McIntyre ask for if they’re to have it out in a match?

 

Liv talks with Dom in the clubhouse.

As good as he is at WWE 2K, they do need to talk about their tag match. She wants to work on double team moves. Dom says he didn’t even want this match, why would he want to do double teams? Liv says they both know Dom wants this as badly as she does. Dom says the only thing he wants that badly is to beat his deadbeat dad. Yeah, that’s what Liv meant. So they need to be on the same page. What? Liv takes the remote, and wants Dom to loosen up. No, he’s fine. Liv says relax. Dom steps back, but falls onto the couch. She says that’s perfect, and she starts stretching his leg out for him! Dom says that isn’t bad…

Liv says yeah, they can do this with or without a match. But then the boys walk in and Carlito says that’s cool. Liv hopes Daddy Dom feels better. Liv leaves and Priest says he doesn’t wanna know what that was. But after all this time, Dom should’ve been done with this. It is not that hard. Carlito says it looks like it is. Carlito, shut up! Dom says Priest is starting to sound like his dad. What? No, Priest is starting to understand Dom’s dad more and more every week. Fine, Dom though the fixed it so he’ll put an end to it, okay? Dom heads out and Priest says Dom’s gonna learn something about consequences.

Finn says yeah, but that aside, what was Priest wanting to tell them? Oh yeah, well… Priest will keep it a secret. Dom’s gonna find out soon enough anyway. Oh~…! Does that mean what it sounds like it means?

 

The third VHS is ready.

Bo Dallas sits in a dark room, a light faintly flashing. “Uncle Howdy” wants to know more about his “family.” Bo’s family… He took those that were discarded, unwanted, and forgotten, and gave them a purpose. And they’re so happy that you remembered them! Because being a glutton for punishment doesn’t make abandonment hurt any less. Joe Gacy is Huskus the Pig Boy! Being forsaken and alone, begging for mercy as the buzzards circle. Dexter Lumis is Mercy the Buzzard! Being lost, overwhelmed. Grief is the price we pay for love. “But now… We must set the captives free. So they need no master.”

Do you think Bo… that they… are sick? “Yes, I do.” Bo smiles, and says, “Then sick is what we’ll be.” They are… the Wyatt Sick6.

 

Gable finds Pearce.

Gable complains that he is avoiding him. Did Pearce see that tape? They’re all talking about Gable! It is clear to an intelligent man like Gable! But what is not clear is why Pearce isn’t dong more about this! Security is lacking and- Pearce calms Gable down, he has an investigation team working on this. But has Gable ever stopped to wonder why he’s the target? Oh, that’s funny, Pearce. Gable will handle everything on his own, huh? He will, but then he expects an apology from everyone here. And maybe a vacation, too? It’s pathetic! Gable storms off, Pearce steps into his office, and Bo is already there waiting… Is Pearce about to get some answers first hand?

 

Damage CTRL speaks.

Iyo Sky says they have lost control. So now DMG CTRL must change. Dakota Kai says they have gotten nothing but disrespect. They are world class talent, so they should not be pushed aside by worthless superstars like Kayden, Katana & Lyra! Tonight, that changes. Tonight, DMG CTRL pushes back and shows what they are truly capable of. Kairi Sane adds that change brings destruction of what was. Tonight, they clip Lyra’s wings, and they dance all over Kayden & Katana. Iyo says because DMG CTRL has lost control, they will take it back! Will they make The Morrigan and the party girls regret ever getting in their way?

 

Bron Breakker VS Ilja Dragunov!

We saw what the Big Bad Booty Nephew has done to Ricochet, Sami Zayn and a few others since coming to Raw, and The Czar wants to be the one that stops him! But will Dragunov break Breakker? Or will Bron once again slay the Mad Dragon?

Raw returns and Bron makes his entrance. The bell rings, Bron dodges Dragunov to waistlock and GERMAN SUPLEX! Dragunov lands hard and writhes around. Bron drags Dragunov up, bumps him off buckles, then digs his knee in. The ref counts, Bron lets off, and he hauls Dragunov up. Bron scoops, Dragunov slips free and GERMAN SUPLEXES! Dragunov holds on, drags Bron up, but Bron switches. Dragunov fights the lift, Bron shoves him,  and Dragunov goes through the ropes, CONSTANTINE- NO, Bron dodges that, dodges again, and he CLOBBERS Dragunov! Bron barks, the fans join in, and Dragunov flounders around.

Bron goes after Dragunov in a corner, fires haymakers, but the ref counts. Bron lets off to stalk Dragunov. Dragunov CHOPS, CHOPS and they brawl hands. Dragunov leaps, but into Bron’s arms! Bron gorilla press SLAMS! Cover, TWO! Dragunov survives but Bron scrapes him out of the ring, and Raw goes to break.

Raw returns again and Bron has Dragunov in a chinlock. Dragunov fights up but Bron puts him in a corner. Dragunov fights free with kicks, then leaps, into a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Dragunov sputters but Bron clamps onto him. Bron CLUBS away on Dragunov’s side, then pulls him in a HALF BOW ‘N’ ARROW! Dragunov endures, pries at Bron’s fingers, and Dragunov stands up. Dragunov HEADBUTTS, HEADBUTTS, and HEADBUTTS again! Bron ROCKS Dragunov, Dragunov ROCKS him back! They go shot for shot, CHOP for CHOP! They fire fast and furious fists and the fans fire up! Dragunov spins to CHOP!

Dragunov CHIPOS a leg, CHOPS the body, but Bron blocks! Bron ROCKS Dragunov, Dragunov waistlocks! Bron elbows free but Dragunov ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up, Dragunov gets moving, RUNNING KNEE! The fans fire up, Dragunov feeds off it! Dragunov goes to a corner, climbs up, but Bron anchors him! The fans rally, Bron UPPERCUTS then climbs. But Dragunov fires body shots! Dragunov slips under Bron, brings him off the corner, and POWERBOMBS him! The fans fire up as Dragunov climbs again! SUPER SENTON!! But it was a bit double-edged given the damage done to his own body! Dragunov still covers, TWO!!

Bron survives, both men are sputtering, and the fans declare “This is Awesome!” Dragunov rises, Bron drags himself up with ropes. Dragunov goes corner to corner, but into a JUMP KNEE! Bron hauls Dragunov up, fireman’s carries, and GUT BUSTER DROPS! Cover, TWO!! Dragunov survives and Bron is frustrated! But both men should remember they’re each tougher than that. Bron hauls Dragunov up to a Canadian Rack, and then RAMS him into a corner! Dragunov ends up on the top rope that way, but he SLAPS back! And SLAPS, and SLAPS! Bron staggers, Dragunov adjsuts, but Bron goes right up!

Dragunov stops Bron’s Steiner to SLAP him again! Dragunov sees Bron go to the adjacent corner, waves goodnight, and goes COAST2COAST only to miss! Bron runs in to LARIAT Dragunov up and out! The fans bark, Bron goes out the side, and Bron builds up speed! Dragunov BOOTS Bron first! The fans fire up again as Dragunov refreshes the count. Dragunov says “UN! BE! SIEG! BAR!” he runs in, but Bron CHUCKS an armchair!!

Winner: Ilja Dragunov, by disqualification

Bron doesn’t care about the win, h e just wants to hurt Dragunov! Bron pushes Dragunov into the ring, the ref reprimands, and Bron stands on Dragunov in the corner! But here comes Sami!! Producers try to stop Sami but he goes after Bron with fast hands! Sami LARIATS Bron up and out of the ring! The fans are thunderous for Sami as he now checks on Dragunov. But Bron drags Sami out to POST him! Bron TOSSES Sami over the desk! Pat & Cole move aside but Dragunov is back for more! Dragunov fires forearms, Bron knees low, then he TOSSES Dragunov over the desk! Producers tell Bron to stop but he stands on the desk to roar!

Sami grits his teeth as he sits up and glares up at Bron. Is Bron going to tear everyone and everything apart until he’s standing tall with the title in hand?

 

Damian Priest speaks.

“You see this championship? You see this name plate? It says the name of the world champ, Damian Priest. And at Money in the Bank, I didn’t ask for McIntyre to try and cash in his briefcase. I didn’t ask for Punk to get involved. I understand the talk about all the controversy. But let me ask you this: in recent memory, what champion has not had controversy or some type of interference surrounding his title reign? Go ahead, tell me, I’ll wait.” No, not Logan Paul. No, not Iyo Sky. There isn’t any. Priest is World Heavyweight Champion. He walked into MITB to go to war with Seth Rollins, and he walked out El Campeon.

That is the past, and now tot he future: Gunther. Priest looks forward to this challenge. But the challenge isn’t Gunther, it is to Priest’s greatness. Priest is going to walk in and out of SummerSlam as champion. If Gunther wants Priest to say this to his face, meet him on Priest’s show next week. And when they’re done, even Gunther will rise for El Campeon. Will Der Ring General answer this challenge and have some words of his own to say?

 

The Final Testament speaks.

Karrion Kross says, “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight, I regret to inform you that Kofi Kingston will not be playing the accordion.” They have a good laugh, and Kross says the legends of the old guard will be the death of this place if left unchecked. “They hold the new blood back through political leverage, as they smile and wave for all the world to worship. They are the true enemy of us all. But one way or another, the old guard will make way for the new. Even everybody’s favorite, John Cena, realized his time is almost up.”

Kross knows Xavier Woods hears this. Woods was always a hell of a talent. He even beat Kross where Kofi could not. And if Woods joins Kross, he can become the man he was always meant to be. Or he can stick with Kofi, and Kross hospitalizes Woods the same way. The New Day is dead. Woods is just the last to realize that. So sayeth the Final Testament. Doomsday is coming, will Woods be able to survive it?

 

Six Woman Tag: Lyra Valkyria, Kayden Carter & Katana Chance VS Damage CTRL!

The Morrigan & KC Squared didn’t really have a problem with Iyo, Kairi & Dakota until Iyo, Kairi & Dakota had a problem with them. Will Lyra, Kayden & Katana solve that problem right here tonight? Or will DMG CTRL once again take control of the Women’s Division?

Raw returns as Lyra makes her entrance, followed by her partners in the party girls. They even let Lyra use one of the smoke guns! The trio then heads to the ring, and Lyra even joins in the dancing. The teams stare down, and then they just brawl it out! The ref reprimands, Iyo & Dakota get Lyra & Katana out, then Kairi stomps away on Kayden. Kairi runs in, Kayden puts her on the apron, but Kairi RAMS into Kayden. Kairi goes up and leaps, but Kayden gets under. Kairi says kiss this then! Kairi runs up, Kayden hip tosses her down!

There’s a bit more dancing, and then Kayden fetches Dakota into the ring. Kayden covers, ONE! Kayden drags Dakota over, tags Katana, and they roll Dakota up, TWO! Katana stays on Dakota but Dakota powers up. Dakota lifts, Katana fights that to whip. Dakota reverses, Katana goes up and over then arm-drags! Katana hurries up the corner, but Iyo & Kairi run up! Katana DECKS Kairi, DECKS Iyo, but Dakota YANKS Katana down! Dakota then drags Katana over, tags Iyo, and Iyo tags Kairi. Iyo scoop SLAMS Katana, so that DMG CTRL can TRIPLE DROPKICK her down! Cover, TWO! Katana stays in this and Kairi is annoyed.

Kairi drags Katana up, puts her against the ropes, and CHOPS! Katana goes to a corner, and Kairi stomps away! Kairi then marches from corner to corner, runs back in, SLIDING D! Kairi kicks Katana to a cover, TWO! Kairi covers again, ONE!! Kairi is losing her cool but she bumps Katana off buckles. Tag to Iyo and she runs in to UPPERCUT! Tag to Dakota and she CHOPS Katana. Dakota snapmares Katana, pushes her to a cover, TWO! Dakota clamps onto Katana with a SLEEPER, and then body scissors! Katana endures, fights up, but Dakota keeps her from her corner. Raw returns to single picture as the fans rally up.

Katana reaches out, fires forearms, and repeat. Dakota still holds on, but Katana hits a CODE BREAKER! Dakota staggers back, Iyo tags in! Iyo STOMPS Katana, DECKS Kayden, then swipes at Lyra. Katana runs up, Iyo catches her! Katana is fingertips away! Iyo throws Katana, kicks and whips, but Katana wheelbarrows! Iyo back suplexes it but Katana lands out! Katana dodges Iyo to hot tag Lyra! The fans fire up as The Morrigan rallies on the Evil Genius! SOBAT! KICK! HEADBUTT! KICK! ENZIGIRI! Iyo flounders, Lyra brings her up to fireman’s carry. Iyo fights free, but Lyra steps over to scoop! SITOUT BOMB! Cover, TWO!!

The fans fire up as Lyra stays on Iyo. Iyo RAMS Lyra into the corner, Kairi tags in! Iyo waistlocks, Kairi runs up, URAKEN! Lyra falls, Dakota tags in. Dakota & Kairi reel Lyra in to DOUBLE USPLEX, but Kayden makes the save! But then Iyo joins in! Katana does, too! It’s a fight for suplexes, and Lyra’s team TRIPLE SUPLEXES! The fans are thunderous as Lyra then drags Dakota up. Katana tags in then she tags Kayden. Lyra hits a FISHERMAN BUSTER! Kayden helps Katana with the KEG STAND!! Cover, but Iyo MISSILE DROPKICKS Katana onto it! Lyra HEEL KICKS Iyo! Kairi is up top, she FLYING KABUKI ELBOWS Lyra!

Kayden SUPERKICKS Kairi! The fans fire up and Kayden CHOPS Kairi. Kayden whips, Kairi reverses and Dakota DUMPS Kayden out! Dakota POSTS Kayden, Iyo and Kairi coordinate! Kairi builds speed and Iyo gives her the BOOST to FLY onto Katana & Lyra! DMG CTRL fires up, and Dakota BOOTS Kayden! Tag to Iyo, she goes up while Dakota puts Kayden in place. OVER THE MOONSAULT!! Cover, DMG CTRL wins!

Winners: DMG CTRL, by pinfall

Kairi says that is what they were talking about! But wait! Zoey Stark, Shayna Baszler AND SONYA DEVILLE jump in! These three are finally working together to go after DMG CTRL! Shayna goes after Dakota, and she STOMPS that arm! Flashback to years ago with those two! Sonya KNEES Kairi down, but Iyo fights Zoey! She gets mugged 3v1! Zoey used to be Iyo’s partner, and she also cost Zoey at MITB! SUPERKICK!! And then ALLEY-OOF!! And then DEVILLE’S ADVOCATE! Just as DMG CTRL thought they were back on top, these three hunters made them into the hunted! Who will really dominate the Raw Women’s Division now?

 

Backstage interview with Rey Mysterio & Zelina Vega.

Cathy Kelley is with the LWO’s King of Lucha and La Muneca, and they are taking on two opponents they know very well. Do they feel Dom’s reluctance tonight could give them an advantage? Zelina says she doesn’t care. If not for Dom, Zelina would be Women’s World Champion. They all know it! Zelina could’ve used the chair, but what would that have proven? That she’s better than her? That Zelina can outsmart Liv? No, that was obvious the moment they each picked up a microphone. But those two are a hot mess, and will be even more of a mess after tonight.

Rey says yes, a very hot mess. And c’mon, it is a pleasure to team with Zelina. Tonight, the LWO will put an end to this story, and they’ll shut Dom & Liv up, and enjoy doing it. Cathy thanks them for their time, but will things go smoothly for them tonight? Or will Liv have some more tricks up her sleeve?

 

Backstage interview with Shayna, Zoey & Sonya.

Jackie Redmond says we saw what they did out there to DMG CTRL. What is this exactly? Are they together as a team now? And if so, what is their intent? Shayna says this is what’s going on, and it’s something that should’ve happened a long time ago. They just set a message to the entire roster just now about who really runs the Women’s Division. Zoey adds that they are done waiting. They’ve been screwed over twice, from Clash at the Castle to Money in the Bank, all by people who can’t even lace their boots. And Sonya hopes Jackie knows what she’s been trying to do here. She’s been trying to help Shayna & Zoey reach their full potentials as the killers they were meant to be.

And now, DMG CTRL is just the start. That was an example of what happens when you think you run something, but you don’t. It is a warning shot to everyone: They are here, and there is not a damn thing they can do about it. But then speaking of Clash at the Castle, in walk Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn. They say, “Blah, blah, blah.” This new trio wants to run their mouths, but… so long as Alba & Isla have the gold, this is their division. Sonya says not for long, honey. Sonya leads her team away, and we can see Chad Gable talking with Ivy Nile & The Creed Brothers. While things are heating up in the Women’s Tag Division, is Gable working on a new team of his own?

 

Gunther speaks.

“Power, dominance, prestige. That is what my name brings to this sport. How did I become the man whose name strikes fear into every ring all around the world? Der Ring General… The greatest and longest reigning Intercontinental Champion of all time. The King of the Ring. And soon to be the World Heavyweight Champion. I was not some child watching this for entertainment. I was not some fanboy desperate to live out a ridiculous fantasy. I learned at a young age that all that matters is life is winning. I saw an opportunity in this sport that lacked a powerful figure. WWE had no choice but to call my name. They needed me, I did not need them.”

He embraced NXT UK as his first brand. And all he saw was children chasing fantasies, desecrating this great sport. That is when Gunther realized… He enjoys making people miserable. He resorted power to the ring with unrivaled dominance. He restored honor and prestige to this great sport. That is what is on the line at SummerSlam. Der King General has spoken, but will he make the World Heavyweight Championship sacred?

 

Mixed Tag: Dominik Mysterio & Liv Morgan VS Rey Mysterio & Zelina Vega!

Dirty Dom’s mouth might say one thing, but his behavior tells a different story. He might be more into Liv than he knows, but will tonight be the last time he has to worry about her one way or another? Or will Liv keep “Daddy” wrapped around her finger a little longer?

Raw returns as The LWO make their entrance. Liv and Zelina start, and Zelina says Dom knows he messed up. Liv pushes Zelina, Zelina shoves back, and then Liv takes a swing! Zelina dodges, fires forearms, and the fans fire up. Liv shoves Zelina again, scoops her, but Zelina slips free. Zelina blocks a kick to ELBOW Liv! Zelina sits Liv up to BOOT her down! Cover, TWO! Liv scrambles away to tag Dom! That means Zelina must stand down, and Rey steps in. The fans fire up as father and son circle. Dom shoves Rey, but Rey keeps cool. Dom calls for a knuckle lock, Rey obliges, but then Dom kicks low! Dom fires hands and Rey goes to a corner.

Dom ROCKS Rey, stomps away, then soaks up the heat. Dom whips Rey corner to corner, runs in, but Rey dodges! Dom hits buckles, Rey fires back! Rey goes up, rains down fists and the fans count Dom slips free at four to TRIP Rey up! Rey hits buckles, Dom whips him to ropes. Rey throws Dom by his greasy mullet! Tag to Zelina so Liv is now legal, but then Zelina wheelbarrows with Rey to FLYING RANA! Dom is sent out, Liv runs in! Liv CLOBBERS Zelina, fires hands, then bumps Zelina off buckles. Liv fires hands, the ref counts, but Liv lets off. Liv runs back in to body block! And then she runs in again. Zelina dodges to RAM into Liv!

Zelina climbs up, she rains down fists! The fans count again, Zelina goes all the way to nine, then FACEBUSTERS for ten! Liv sits back in the corner, Zelina runs in, but Dom stands in her way! The fans boo, but Rey jumps in and dropkicks Dom’s legs out! Dom falls right into Liv’s revenge tour! Dom freaks out and scrambles away! Liv follows and says it’s okay, she isn’t upset. But then Zelina METEORAS Liv from the apron! Rey SEATED SENTONS Dom down! The fans fire up as LWO stands tall, and Raw goes picture in picture!

Zelina & Rey wait on Liv & Dom to get up. Zelina goes out to fetch Liv into the ring, and she CLUBS her down. Cover, TWO! Zelina drags Liv up but Liv knees low! And throws her by her hair! Liv crawls away, hot tag to Dom! Dom runs up, Rey dodges and fires hands! Rey ROCKS Dom, whips him, but Dom reverses. Rey KICKS Dom, eggs him on, then dropkicks the legs out again! Dom lands on ropes this time, and Rey dials it up! But Liv trips Rey! The ref missed that, and then Dom CLOBBERS Rey! Dom stomps away at the ropes, covers, TWO! Dom pushes Rey to another cover, TWO! Dom is frustrated but he looms over Rey.

Dom brings Rey up to fire hands, then he whips. Dom UPPERCUTS Rey down! Cover, TWO! Rey is tougher than that and Dom grows more frustrated. Dom talks trash, drags Rey up, and he whips Rey into the corner. Dom then fires body shots and haymakers on Rey! Dom stomps away, lets off, and Liv CHOKES Rey! Zelina protests but Liv gets away with it. Dom soaks up the heat and Liv cheers him on. Dom goes back to Rey, stomps him more, then goes to the apron. Dom then slingshot SENTONS! Cover, TWO! Raw returns to single picture as Dom stalks Rey to a corner. Dom puts Rey up top backwards, then climbs up.

Dom CLAWS at Rey’s mask! Now that is disrespectful! Dom CLUBS away on Rey with crossface forearms, then he puts Rey in the Tree of Woe. Dom stomps away, Rey falls out of the Tree, and Dom brings Rey up. The fans rally for Rey but Liv cheers Dom. Rey flops down, Dom stomps him again. Dom rains down fists and forearms while the fans boo. Dom covers, TWO! Liv cheers Dom on more and he clamps on a chinlock. Rey endures, fights up, and throws elbows. Rey is free, he runs and slides under, but Dom scoops to MICHINOKU DRIVER! Cover, TWO! Rey stays in this but Dom stalks him to a corner.

Dom kicks Rey around, “kicks dirt,” then drags Rey up. Dom goes corner to corner and back egain, but Rey ELOBOWS him! Rey goes up, but Dom Electric Chair Lifts!

Zelina bumps Liv off buckles, JUMP KICKS, then pushes Liv out. Zelina runs to KNEE Liv down! Zelina runs again, to SPIKE-RANA! The fans fire up with Zelina and she goes up a corner. Latina Heat from Zelina, before the METEORA! Cover, TWO!

Liv is still in this but Zelina drags her up. Zelina CLUBS Liv, hops on, but no Code Red! Liv kicks Zelina low, grins, and then brings Zelina around. Liv suplexes for Una Amiga! Liv gets Zelina up to DOS AMIGAS! And then she waves to Dom, for THREE AMIGAS! Liv gives us some Morgan Heat, and she scuffs Zelina. Liv lines up a shot, ObLIV- NO! Zelina denies the flatliner, and then DOUBLE LARIATS take both ladies down! The fans rally up and both women crawl. Hot tags to Dom and Rey! They run in, Rey ducks ‘n’ dodges to then tilt-o-whirl RANA! The fans fire up with Rey and he runs in, but Dom puts him on the apron.

Dom swings but Rey ROCKS Dom first! Rey goes up, SEATED SENTON! Rey keeps going, he whips but Dom sunset flips! Rey rolls through to BUZZSAW! Rey then LIONSAULTS! Cover, TWO!

Winners: Dominik Mysterio & Liv Morgan, by pinfall

Once again, Liv comes through to help Dom! And he HUGS her!! Liv hops onto Dom and brings him down! Dom is realizing maybe there is something to this. BUT RHEA RIPLEY IS HERE?!?! So Priest DID mean what it sounded like! Mami’s home, and both Dom and Liv are freaking out! Liv gets away from Dom to run away into the night! Rhea lets her go, to get in Dom’s face! She says Dom has some explaining to do. Dom tries to make it all better with a hug, but Rhea pushes past him. Did Dom ruin the best thing he had just to live on the wild side?


My Thoughts:

Another great Raw, and great set up for the turn from MITB to SummerSlam. Great promo segment from Punk and Rollins to establish their part in this story. Or rather, this was them picking up from where things left off before WrestleMania before Rollins lost and took time off. They’re doing such a good job to bring out the complexity of personalities here while referencing continuity in and out of WWE. A lot of what Punk said and what Rollins said can apply back to how Punk got himself in trouble in AEW, and just as much as someone can say “Love it or hate it, this is me,” everyone else can go, “Yeah we definitely hate it.”

But whatever side you take, either Team Punk or Team Rollins, Punk getting Pearce to “undo the suspension” is good story. And while McIntyre and Punk have been at each other the most, Rollins could totally get involved and this becomes a Triple Threat at SummerSlam. On top of that, treat the winner as the next #1 contender since Priest let Rollins off the hook because of all the shenanigans on Saturday. Really good promos from Priest and Gunther to hype up their match, and they’ll have a great face-to-face next week to add on. Priest wants to have a proper 1v1 match with Rollins, but I don’t know, I feel like there’s a chance Gunther wins.

Great stuff with the rest of Judgment Day tonight. Six Man Tag was a lot of fun with Finn, JD & Carlito getting the better of Braun & The Awesome Truth. And then some real saucy stuff with Liv and Dom tonight, because oh man, look who is back! Just as Dom was about to surrender to Liv, Mami’s home and she ain’t happy. We got cut off by Race to Survive: New Zealand again when who really cares, but at least Rhea did the important move of chasing off Liv and rejecting Dom’s hug. She is definitely going to let Dom have it verbally next week, and we’re definitely getting Rhea VS Liv for just an awesome, show-stealing match.

In everything else, we got a really good promo from DMG CTRL to further their story, and we got a very good Six Woman Tag against Lyra, Kayden & Katana. Great win for DMG CTRL out of that, and then what a great surprise in Sonya actually getting Zoey & Shayna on her side. That’s a good trio there, and then good interaction with Alba & Isla. There’s quite a few possibilities for tag title feuds, we might even get another Triple Threat or bigger for SummerSlam to see if Alba & Isla can retain in the same situation they won the titles. Or at least a Triple Threat contenders match of Zoey & Shayna VS KC Squared VS DMG CTRL.

Great stuff in the Intercontinental Championship story. I thought we’d see Sheamus going for the title, but he’s being detoured into a story with Bronson Reed right now. Good win for Bronson against Dunne, and good detail of Dunne not wanting to hang out with Sheamus after the Brawling Brutes fell apart. And it seems Bron and Dragunov might be the ones getting a shot. It’d be really awesome if it was all six, Sami VS Bron VS Dragunov VS Bronson VS Sheamus VS Dunne, but that seems like a lot even for SummerSlam. It would make for a great way to protect Sami while finally giving Sheamus that Intercontinental Championship, though.

And of course, great stuff in the Wyatt Sick6 story. Jey VS Gable was a great match, even with the Wyatts spooking Gable into losing. And then another great promo from Bo Dallas to help us officially know who is who, and why they joined the group. Gable continues to gravitate towards the former Diamond Mine as his potential new “family.” And then Bo showing up in person in Pearce’s office, that was a nice detail. They might even set up the official in-ring debut of Wyatt Sick6, because that’s happening one way or another.

My Score: 8.9/10

Coverage

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 5.8.2025

We get to see Alicia Fox in action and a dog collar match! Definitely an odd combination, so let’s see what happens!

Published

on

As I feel like I say every week, the best parts of TNA are on NXT. I really can’t tolerate Dreamer and Delirious’ idea of creative. This shows have been slapdash early 00s MTV humor and nonsense angles. We open the show with Trick Williams, so of course you know he’s gonna be a dick and Hendry’s gonna try and get even.

At least this spawned an interesting concept with the TNA Heavyweight Championship being defended on NXT Battleground. So it’s nice that Hendry and TNA are getting exposure, but honestly it’s only Hendry, and the constant milking on the TNA side of “hearing from Hendry” is making me ill.

I feel like I’ve seen Johnny Gobs all over since Nekrogoblikon came out with new music. Not mad at it, just didn’t have that on my Bingo card.

 

Ratings:

  • Rosemary vs Lei Ying Lee – Lei wins via Thunderstruck – *
  • Great Hands vs Aztec Warriors: Aztec Warriors win via Laredo Driver + Arabian Moonsault – * 1/2
  • Trey Miguel w/Wentz vs Mustafa Ali w/Tasha & Hands: Ali wins via Crucifix Blade Runner – ** 3/4
  • Victoria Crawford vs Brittnie Brooks: Victoria wins via Flying Axe Kick – Squash
  • Dog Collar Match: International Championship Match: Steve Maclin (c) vs Eric Young w/Northern Armoury: Maclin retains via KIA – ***

Results:

Hey look, Trick comes out and does exactly what I said. He’s arrogant, he’s basically doing his own version of a Ric Flair promo. I do like the line about having two girls, one named Lexis who drives a Mercedes and Mercedes who drives a Lexus. It’s that right balance of dumb and clever to make me chuckle. Hendry of course comes out with his game face on, security tries, fails, and Hendry gets a measure of revenge.

Rosemary vs Lei Ying Lee – Lei wins via Thunderstruck

Okay even though I don’t mind Xia as a wrestler anymore, Brookside is on commentary and she’s…awful. She’s like an Arianna Grace with no charisma. Her little integrity shtick got lame halfway through the word the first time she said it.

This match goes about how you expect which is why it’s not much to discuss. Rosemary does her usually brawling, biting and using the 5 counts with the Upside Down. But as expected, she tries to use the Brass Knucks, Xia comes off of commentary to stop her from using the weapon, and Lei catches her with Thunderstruck. I guess this was supposed to keep the Xia angle with some heat, but it’s really dumb. I don’t want to see any more of this Angel vs Demon, which one will turn crap. It’s boring, it’s cliche and for babies.

At least Lei Ying Lee is gorgeous and one hell of a wrestler. Hopefully she gets away from Rosemary and Xia soon.

Great Hands vs Aztec Warriors

Laredo and Octagon take early turns on Jason Hotch, Octagon even pulls off some rope acrobatics like he thinks he’s Rey Fenix. Hands try to take a few shortcuts, but the actions stays quick, the Cali crowd is behind the Luchadors. Stereo Tijeras, Five Hole Dive from Laredo into an Asai Moonsault from Octagon. Laredo Driver into Handstand Arabian Moonsault, and Aztec Warriors win handily.

After the fact Ali attacks the Aztec Warriors, Tasha and the Hands are trying to calm down Ali but then the Rascalz run out. Maybe we’re getting an early start to the Trey vs Ali match. 

Image

Trey Miguel w/Wentz vs Mustafa Ali w/Tasha & Hands

Hopefully this is something worth actually typing about instead of WCW Thunder level of rushed throwaway trash.

They trade early chops, but Ali is pissed, no sells Trey and rocks him with a Forearm. Trey tries to Baseball Slide through the legs and roll into a Sunset Flip, but Ali rolls through, comes up with Trey and Powerbombs him moving immediately into Ground and Pound. Ali goes for a Reverse Powerslam, but Trey escapes it, tries to use his quickness, trips up Ali for a second as he goes to the apron and then he catches Trey in the ropes and hits the Draping DDT off the apron. Outside In Neckbreaker from Ali into a Standing Tornillo.

Ali throws Trey into the ropes, Trey tries something but Ali catches him, flips him vertical and then Dragon Suplex looks nasty. Ali heads back to the apron, wants the Outside In Rolling Neckbreaker, but Trey catches him with a Cutter! Trey puts a little Shake Rattle and Roll together, Ali tries to block the last one so Trey hits the ropes and lands a Lionsault. Ali powders and eats a Dive, Trey throws him back in, Meteora! 1-2-kick out! Trey gets a little frustrated but tries a front facelock, they trade cradles, Ali throws him to the ropes, Trey tries that Rewind Tiger Feint, but Ali hits a Missile Dropkick. Ali tells the Hands to finish things but Wentz comes out flying. Ali drives Wentz into the post, throws Trey back in and mouths off to Wentz. When he turns he eats Trey’s Knee Slide Tornado DDT.

Tasha distracts the ref, Hands attack Trey with a Double Choke Bomb on the Apron and Ali kills Trey with Crucifix Blade Runner.

Hardys come out to talk, they get a solid pop from the crowd, but nothing interesting gets said. The old “we let you down” promo and they’re trying to get across a fandom nickname of “Diehardyz” and that’s corny. They punctuate their part before the Nemeths of course come out with some Obsolete and Delete references. Ryan starts talking and gets booed loudly, so that’s nice, they both play in it well. Ryan makes some goofy faces, Nic and him poke fun at the Hardys and the fact that Jeff can’t come to Canada because he’s prohibidabido. 

So Santino comes out, says next week Jeff and Nic will have a singles match, so Matt will get a tag match against the Nemeths with a partner of his choosing. Kind of a stock standard promo, but the Nemeths and Santino made it fun. 

Huh, coming back from commercial there’s a video package from WWE showing the last time Jeff Hardy and Nic Nemeth had a match. 16 years ago. 

Victoria Crawford vs Brittnie Brooks

Brittnie is Chris Bey’s girlfriend and Alicia was always one of my favorites.

Victoria clocks Brittnie early, but Brittnie fires back, Victoria gets annoyed, hits her beautiful Northern Lights Suplex Hold for only a two. Victoria drives Brittnie into the corner, Brittinie tries to fight out, but Victoria catches her with a Tumbling Headscissors Take Over and then a Flying Axe Kick. Victoria’s gorgeous self wins, and Victoria looked pretty decent in the squash.

Masha comes out, attacks Victoria, so Tessa makes a save. Santino makes a tag match next week Blanshard and Crawfish vs Slamabitch and a partner of her choosing. Robert Stone overrides Santino and picks her partner for her and chooses Nikkita Lyons. 

Dog Collar Match: International Championship Match: Steve Maclin (c) vs Eric Young w/Northern Armoury

EY sandbags in the corner at the bell and then catches Maclin with an opportune yank of the chain and then starts a little dirty boxing and chain choking. Cardona is out on commentary because there’s a number 1 contender match next week for the International title. EY grinds the chain across Maclin’s face and the bridge of his nose, and he’s bleeding 40 seconds into the match.

Maclin powders but since it’s a dog collar match the jabronis get involved immediately. Maclin is bleeding like his last name is Rhodes, the jabronis get in some pot shots and EY just whips him with the chain, uses the post, just goes for classic deliberately paced hardcore brawl tactics. Maclin does manage to get a small flurry, EY does the Flair Corner Flop, then EY and the jabronis eat a SCUD before we go to commercial.

We come back, Maclin is back to getting murdered, and now all the potential number 1 contenders and either on commentary, the ramp or in the back watching a monitor. Even Mance Warner looks a little concerned and horny at the same time with the blood. Maclin is so bloody he looks like a post explosion scene from The Boys. Maclin fires, whips EY in the ropes, grabs him mid run, Headbutts him a few times, Jumping Thesz Press into the Ground and Pound with some chain whips. Jabronis come in and eat a Busakiu and Backbreaker, EY tries to take advantage but EY eats an Olympic Slam. Another Busaiku for EY, Jar Headbutt connects! EY kicks out at two, then powders but Maclin follows and wraps the chain around his neck and starts throwing EY around by the throat. Dorks fly at Maclin, he deflects them, but EY yanks the chain and Maclin falls off the apron. EY throws him back in, another two count. EY heads to the top, Maclin crotches him, bald Jabroni eats a Powerbomb, hair Jabroni heads a Buckle Bomb. EY slips the Tree, so Maclin puts the jabronis in the corner, Stacked Tag Em and Bag Em, Nerds get Caught in the Crosshairs!

EY sees the chance, kick to the gut, Piledriver! 1-2…KICK OUT! EY calls for the Macho Elbow but Maclin gets up, pulls him off the top with the chain and KIA! Maclin retains!

 

Overall Score: 4/10

A generally disappointing episode. The first hour felt like WCW Thunder written by Meth addicted Racoons. But the second hour starting with Mustafa, turned out to be okay. I’ve always enjoyed Alicia Fox aesthetically and she wasn’t bad in the ring, Mustafa being edgy is cool, Ryan Nemeth is a treasure, Tessa is still great and the dog collar match was decent.

So a mixed bag definitely. Rosemary is honestly useless anymore. She only gets a pop because of the gimmick, but her storylines have sucked, her matches aren’t great and this whole Infantile Sting knockoff of trying to stick to her morals and integrity and not do the mean things. Aztec Warriors are basic lucha stuff with no gimmick beyond the fact they’re luchadors. Lastly, the Trick Flair opening segment was okay at best but really just just paint by numbers.

It’s a sad turn of events when my favorite wrestling program anymore is WWE main roster stuff. Yikes…2025 is weird.

Toni Storm is here!

Or rather, she’s still here given just last night, the TIMELESS AEW Women’s World Champion won a Fatal 4 Way Eliminator. And now she’s in the special box seat “balcony” with mic in hand. Detroit cheers and she blows kisses before saying, “So many men have taken a shot at me in here, I’m feeling like Abraham Lincoln. I will never forget my first. It was messy, it was sweaty, and painful. But I only wanted more. Once a month, once a week, twice a week, I was hooked. But then, it only became more risky. One at a time, then two at a time. And three at a time! Incorporating random objects, all the while being watched by perverts.”

The fans cheer being perverts but then Toni says, “One day, it will not end well for me. It will break my body and soil my soul. But in the end, I know it’s what I was born to do. And if you think I was referring to sexual intercourse, then get your minds out of the gutter!” Toni takes a moment before she continues, “Because the best bang could not compare to fighting for this!” She holds up the title and the fans cheer more! “I am not waiting for a Hayter or a CEO. So next week, line up the next batch of slop tarts, because baby wants to binge!” The fans also like the sound of that! Toni says spit on it and sit on it, and let’s get TIMELESS~!

The fans applaud and Toni takes a bow. Beach Break just got that much bigger, but who will take their shot at The Tramp that is The Champ?

 

Backstage interview with Paragon.

Lexy Nair is with Adam Cole, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly to ask them about the 2 Out of 3 Falls last Saturday. Roddy says that to say they’re disappointed is an understatement. He and Kyle are one of the best teams on this planet, and they thought it’d be like riding a bike. But it has been a bit more difficult than they thought. Kyle agrees that they’re frustrated and disappointed, but what they aren’t doing is taking anything away from themselves. They’re the Paragon and they’re still one of the best tag teams out there. And any other day, any other time, 99 out of 100, Kyle & Roddy win that match.

Cole agrees, and he knows that was tough last week. But they are one of the best teams in the world. There will be plenty of chances to prove that this year. But in step the Grizzled Young Veterans and Zack Gibson says say that again. He can’t believe Paragon has the nerve to stand here sulking and complaining. Honestly, this three are three of the best ever. The problem is, they’ve gone soft! They’ve forgotten what it is to fight for their sport. So any time they’re ready, GYV will remind them what that’s like. Kyle & Roddy say why not. GYV will be the first time that gets stomped on Paragon’s way back to the top!

GYV laugh that off then take their leave. But when and where will Liverpool’s Number One & Mr. Mayhem take on the Savior of the Backbreaker & the Violent Artist?

 

Ricochet VS Angelico w/ Serpentico!

The One & Only just got a big win last night alongside the Young Bucks, but now he looks to get a win on his own. Will Ricochet make Detroit #OuttaThisWorld two nights in a row? Or will tonight belong to Spanish Announce Project’s South African Stud?

The bell rings and the fans rally as Angelico and Ricochet circle. They feel things out, circle more, then Angelico leaves Ricochet hanging by smoothing his hair. Ricochet says ha ha, more bald jokes. Ricochet waistlocks, the fans chant, “He Has Hair!” but Ricochet hammerlocks and snapmares to then ghost pin, TWO! Ricochet taunts Angelico that this is professional wrestling, not modeling. Angelico trips Ricochet to cover, ONE! Angelico has a cording hold and he keeps Ricochet from the ropes. Ricochet wrenches, but Angelico gets the cording hold back! Ricochet endures, reaches out, but Angelico arm-drags him to the mat!

The fans cheer more, but Ricochet kips up. Angelico wrangles him back down! Ricochet claws at Angelico but Angelico polishes the bald head! The fans cheer and Angelico keeps on the arm. Ricochet fights up again, but Angelico wrangles him back down! Angelico gives Ricochet more polish, then stands him up to wrench and cording hold. Ricochet throws a body shot, flips up and over, but Angelico switches arms for a modified Cobra Twist! Angelico holds up his hand and the fans cheer, but Ricochet fights free and bails out. The fans boo but then Angelico sneaks up to clamp on shoulder claws!

Ricochet fights back, and he THROWS Angelico to the floor! Ricochet skins the cat, then TORNILLO PLANCHAS! Ricochet takes down Angelico, taunts Serpentico, then goes storming off to grab a chair! Ricochet chases off #SNAKEMAN, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Ricochet gets up on the barrier to soak up more heat, and he even flicks sweat off his bald head! Ricochet puts Angelico in the ring, stalks him to ropes, then CHOKES him! The ref counts, Ricochet backs off, and Serpentico coaches Angelico. Angelico sputters but Ricochet brings him up for a snapmare. Ricochet digs his knee into Angelico’s back as part of the chinlock. Angelico endures, fights up, and fires body shots. Angelico is free, runs the ropes, but Ricochet DROPKICKS him down! Ricochet taunts the fans, covers Angelico, TWO! Angelico is tougher than that but Ricochet covers again, ONE! And again, ONE! And again, ONE!!

Ricochet throws a fit and SLAPS Angelico down before arguing with the ref. The ref defends the count, so Ricochet just stomps away on Angelico’s back! Ricochet taunts the fans, goes back to stomp Angelico and kick him around, then he kicks Angelico to the ropes. Angelico rises to BODY BLOW! And JAB! Ricochet staggers back, Angelico fires more shots! Angelico runs, KICKS the backdrop away, then runs again, only for Ricochet to FLAPJACK him off ropes and JUMPING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Angelico survives and Collision returns to single picture. Ricochet storms his way to a corner while the fans boo.

Ricochet aims and 450- NO, he has to bail out as Angelico moves! Ricochet comes back but Angelico dodges again, Ricochet hits only buckles! Angelico swings, Ricochet dodges and shoves to TIGER WALL KICK! And SOBAT! KNEE! But Angelico KNEES in return! Ricochet rebounds to V-TRIGGER! ROLLING- NO, Angelico clinches for a LIFTING FLATLINER! The fans fire up while both men are down! A standing count starts, Ricochet and Angelico stir, and they rise at 5 of 10. Angelico counters a punch and then fires haymakers! Angelico whips, Ricochet reverses, but then Ricochet catches the leap!

Angelico fights Ricochet’s clinch with elbows, then whips, but Ricochet reverses, Angelico LEAPING LARIATS! And LEAPING LARIATS again! The fans fire up and Angelico storms up to Ricochet. Angelico whips, Ricochet reverses, but Angelico reverses back! COBRA TWIST, and the HEAD SLAPS! The fans fire up as Angelico just takes Ricochet to task! Ricochet sputters and staggers around, Angelico kicks and Canadian Racks! YOYO SLAM, into a hammerlock and HALF CRAB! Ricochet endures, reaches out, but Angelico gets the other arm! Ricochet kicks with his free leg and has the ROPEBREAK! The fans boo but Angelico lets go.

Ricochet goes to the apron, Angelico storms up, but Ricochet HOTSHOTS him! And then FLICKS the ropes at Angelico to hit down low! Ricochet then springboards and FLYING LARIATS! The fans boo but Ricochet runs for a STANDING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO! Ricochet just keeps going, dragon sleeper for the VERTIGO!! Ricochet rolls back, locks ‘n’ loads, and SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall

Ricochet made sure Angelico was done before he got the 1-2-3, and now he gets the mic. “Go ahead. C’mon, I can’t hear you! I can’t hear you!” The fans boo and taunt him more and Ricochet says he welcomes it all! Their boos mean NOTHING to him, because he sees what they cheer for. And c’mon, if you cheer for the Detroit Lions, that means you’re dumb as hell. If you were smart, if you had any amount of common sense, you’d be cheering for him! The fans keep taunting him with “They’re Not Bald!” But Ricochet says the Eagles won the Super Bowl, what’re they talking about? They should be cheering him, because he’s been here less than a year and he’s beaten most of the favorites!

Brody King, Will Ospreay, Mike Bailey, Kevin Knight, Mark Briscoe, Swerve Strickland, and even Kenny Omega! All of them are AEW legends, and Ricochet beat them all! But wait, speaking of legends… Ricochet points out the living legend, Zach Gowen! Ricochet remembers growing up, watching wrestling, he was a huge fan of Zach Gowen. Huge fan. He remembers when big Brock would beat him up and down the arena, that was awesome. But the thing is, Daddy Gowen used to be on this side of the barriers, but now he’s on the other side of them. What happened, Zach? Doesn’t have a leg in the fight anymore?

Ricochet laughs at his own offensive joke, and then asks where that fire is now. He pushes Zach around, security rushes in and Ricochet says he wasn’t doing anything! They’re just talking! Then he BOPS each and every guard! They like that? Ricochet THROWS one guy into railing! Ricochet does his own commentary as he sends another one into the steel steps! Then he puts the third one in the ring, and says Zach might like this. The fans boo but now Ricochet brings out THE SCISSORS! Ricochet cuts this guy’s hair up! But Zach jumps into the ring!! The fans cheer as Zach snatches the scissors from Ricochet!

The fans cheer as Zach asks what is wrong with Ricochet! Ricochet says sorry, sorry! But then he KICKS Zach’s leg out! And then SPIRIT GUN!! The fans boo even more but Ricochet isn’t done with Zach. He takes Zach’s prosthetic leg away! The fans boo as loud as they can as Ricochet leaves with the leg! Ricochet isn’t just humiliating Zach Gowen, he’s committing a crime! Ricochet holds the leg up as a trophy, then mockingly limps with it. Will anyone ever humble the ego that is #OuttaThisWorld?

 

8 Man Tag: The Don Callis Family VS The Outrunners, Bandido & AR Fox!

Don Callis himself dared Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd to find a friend so they could settle things with Roppongi Vice and the Family, but the Outrunners did better than that! They found TWO friends! Will the Most Wanted ROH World Champion and the Whole Fox’n Show help the Youngest Men Alive humble Callis’ cronies? Or will Trent Beretta, Rocky Romero, Lance Archer & Kyle Fletcher use them to take out all of their frustrations?

Callis of course joins commentary while the teams sort out. Callis calls tonight “Don Callis Championship Wrestling,” and says Detroit boos him and his Family because it is a city of losers. Kyle Fletcher starts against Bandido and the fans fire up. Kyle and Bandido circle, the fans rally up more, and they tie up. They go around, Kyle puts Bandido on the ropes. The fans rally for Bandido and he dodges the chop to CHOP! Kyle swings, Bandido dodges and headlocks. Kyle powers up and out, Bandido RAMS him, but Kyle rebounds to RUN Bandido over! Kyle flexes, the fans boo, but then Turbo flexes and the fans cheer.

So Kyle BOOTS Turbo off the apron! Kyle runs, Bandido dodges, hurdles, but Kyle leaps over. The fans tell Callis off while things keep moving. Bandido slips around to tilt-o-whirl RANA! And then DROPKICK! Kyle falls against ropes, Trent tags in, and Trent CLOBBERS Bandido! The fans boo, Trent rains down fists, and the ref reprimands. Trent stops to tag in Rocky.

Kyle stalks Truth to the ropes, mockingly holds Truth’s hand out, then scoops and SLAMS him in a snap! Kyle taunts Bandido, then he brings Truth up. Truth fires hands, but Kyle scoops and SLAMS again! Collision returns to single picture and he BLASTS Truth’s corner! Bandido avoids the shot and shouts at Kyle!

Kyle taunts Bandido, but Truth fires hands! The fans fire up but Kyle BOOTS Truth! Kyle suplexes, but Truth counters with a cradle! TWO, and Kyle is up, only for Truth to juke! Hot tag to Bandido! Kyle kicks but Bandido deflects and waistlocks. Kyle switches, shoves and runs up, but Bandido SUPERKICKS! Bandido goes up, up, and TORNILLOS! Down goes Kyle and he bails out! RPG Vice attack Bandido from behind! RPG Vice double whip, Bandido grabs ropes and he BOOTS them back! The Outrunners are in and they stereo ATOMIC DROP! RPG Vice tumble up and out of the ring! Archer runs in, Bandido holds the ropes down, but Archer doesn’t fall for it!

BREAKING NEWS for Beach Break!

After the assault and humiliation that we saw earlier tonight, Zach Gowen is going to make his return to wrestling! Will Zach get revenge on Ricochet for taking things too far?

 

Jon Moxley speaks.

“So, we’re through the obligatory preamble, casualties on both sides. Last night, you took out my number one lieutenant. Now I could vow revenge and talk about all the things I’m gonna do to Samoa Joe once I get him inside that steel cage. But that would be rather rote, and probably mostly untrue. What do we know? The consensus is Samoa Joe is gonna kick my ass. And yeah, there’s nobody on the planet better at getting their ass kicked than me. The question isn’t whether Joe will beat me up. The question is, how long can he do it? Five, eight minutes? Ten? 20? 25? I’ve got all night.

“I know you don’t think very much of me, Joe, but you are one of the guys that I have genuine respect for. You are the embodiment of a champion. But you’re not the AEW World Champion, I am. And I know that no matter what happens to me inside that steel cage in Chicago, no matter what Hell is put on me, no matter what I am put through in that steel cage, I know I have been through worse. I have been through the kind of Hell, I have weathered the kind of storms, I have faced down the kinds of demons that would keep these kids up at night. So I don’t need to be feared or respected by you or anybody else. I just need you to show up.

“I don’t get along with the rest of the world because I am not like the rest of the world. And believe it or not, next week, there is nowhere else in the world I would rather be than locked inside a steel cage in Chicago with the AEW World Championship hanging in the balance, with the baddest man in pro-wrestling, Samoa Joe. I didn’t build my foundation on sand. When the storm comes through, the only thing that matters is who is the last man standing.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will he ultimately be the baddest man in AEW?

 

Anthony Bowens w/ Billy Gunn VS Lee Johnson w/ Blake Christian!

The Pride of Pro-Wrestling is ready to prove he’s worthy of all the opportunities before him, but that means having others step to the plate. #BigShotty thinks he can get a hit off the 5 Tool Player, but will he be able to go yard? Or will he just get Molly Whopped and sent back to the dugout?

The bell rings and the fans rally behind Bowens. Bowens and Lee tie up, Bowens wrenches and wristlocks, but Lee wrenches back. Bowens slips through, wrenches and hammerlocks, then he spins and snapmares Lee to an Oklahoma Roll! TWO, and Bowens tries a cradle, TWO! Lee is up to headlock back, but Bowens powers up and out. Lee goes up and over, baits Bowens into a waistlock, but Bowens switches. Lee switches, then he shoves Bowens! “You’re nothing!” The fans boo and Bowens scowls. Lee talks more trash, but Bowens CHOPS Lee off his feet! Bowens stalks Lee to a corner, CHOPS again, and the fans “WOO~!”

Bowens CHPOS again, and again, and again! Bowens then stomps a mudhole into Lee! The ref counts, Bowens steps off at 4, and Bowens apologizes. Lee bails out, Bowens pursues, and Lee tries to apologize. But then Lee bumps into Daddy Ass! Lee looks and sees Billy, apologizes to him now, but Bowens ROCKS Lee! Bowens whips Lee hard into barriers and the fans fire up! Bowens puts Lee in the ring, but Lee kicks low! Lee eggs Bowens on, whips, but Bowens hurdles and mule kicks! Front kicks! FAMOUSER! The fans fire up and Bowens wrenches to lift Lee, SWING OUT FACEBUSTER! Cover, ONE?!?

Billy is annoyed, but then Blake gets on the apron! Bowens backs the Vanilla Babyface off, but then he dodges Lee’s sneak attack! Bowens fireman’s carries, Lee slips free and shoves Bowens to ropes. Billy wants after Blake but the ref keeps him back. Bowens ELBOWS Lee away, but Blake swipes at him! Lee then DUMPS Bowens out! Bowens staggers up, Lee FLIES, and he gets just enough of Bowens to take him down! Then Lee and Blake mock the scissor fingers! The fans boo but Lee puts Bowens in the ring. Lee reels Bowens in, suplexes, but Bowens slips free! Bowens shoves Lee away, runs up, and he blocks the boot! But not the ENZIGIRI!

Lee SUPERKICKS Bowens, runs, but into the Rock, Paper, Scissors, SUPERKICK! The fans fire up and Bowens shows them how it’s done! He puts up the scissors, then shouts for his shot! But Blake gets on the apron! Bowens grabs Blake, Lee rolls Bowens up with tights, TWO!! MOLLY WHOP!! Cover, Bowens wins!

Winner: Anthony Bowens, by pinfall

Blake tried to tip the scales, but then he also storms into the ring! Billy gets in Blake’s way and Blake backs up. Blake  “apologizes,” but then he takes a swing! Billy stops that and TOSSES Blake out! Billy says “SUCK IT!” Bowens grabs a mic to tell Detroit, “What you just saw was the Pride of Professional Wrestling! The perfect combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, the look, and The It Factor. And I am in a really good mood, so y’know what? Billy, throw ’em up! Detroit, throw ’em up! And make some noise!” And they SCISSOR FINGER~! For old time’s sake, Bowens embraces the old gimmick. But will nothing stop Bowens from making himself a contender?

 

The Gates of Agony are here!

Detroit cheers as Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona walk out to the ring, but they grab mics so they can talk. Kaun calls out Bryan Keith & Big Bill. “You think you’re gonna walk through these Gates unscathed, unburned, and redeem yourselves in the eyes of Chris Jericho?” The fans boo and Kaun says, “Hell no, Paradise has to be earned. And these Gates right here? They’re gonna stop you in your tracks.” Liona says, “And this time, we’re not doing it in a parking lot! Y’know why? Because we’re in Detroit! Why not do this right here, right now!?” The fans cheer and Liona tells Big Bill & Bryan Keith, you heard the people! Get out here and fight!

The shirts come off, and here come the Redwood & Bad Apple! They go right to the ring and the brawl is on! The fans fire up as Bill has Kaun and Keith has Liona! Bill hammers away on Kaun in a corner, Liona ROCKS Keith, but Keith roars! Keith runs, only for Liona to LARIAT him down! Bill BOOTS Liona down! Bill goes out after Liona, but then Keith LARIATS Kaun and himself up and out of the ring! Bill and Liona brawl, Linoa shoves Bill into railing and CLUBS him! Keith and Kaun brawl on the floor, Liona SMACKS Bill off steel steps! Liona fires up, the fans are torn, and Liona runs in, only for Bill to send him into railing! In fact, Liona goes over the railing!

Keith staggers but Kaun keeps after him. Kaun brings Keith to the ramp but Keith elbows free! Keith runs but Kaun fireman’s carries! SAMOAN DROP down through tables!! Fans lose their minds, and somehow Liona is up! Liona and Bill now brawl on the stage, even as security and producer Kevin Matthews try to stop this! But there’s no stopping it, and Bill BOOTS Liona! Liona wobbles, but then he roars! Liona SPEARS Bill off the stage and down through tables!! The fans lose their minds all over again! The Gates and the Branches are down around ringside, is the Learning Tree impressed watching this at home?

 

AEW hears from Anna Jay & Harley Cameron, as well as Penelope Ford & Megan Bayne.

The Queenslayer says, “Megan, you really like to pick fights, huh? I don’t care how big you are, how hard you hit, I will wrap my arms around you and make you sleep!” The Superbad Girl says Anna has been gone a long time, and the Megasus says things have changed. There is a new animal in this jungle, and having a pure heart, fat ass and good friends isn’t gonna cut it. But the wild Aussie tells the Megasus, “I bet your back is blown out after the fight that I brought last night!” Anna says don’t say it like.

Skye Blue speaks.

“Next week, Beach Break, AEW is back in Chicago. And so am I. I’m back, and I’m a violent little thing.” The Chicago Skye is dark and brooding once again, but will her future be bright?

 

Konosuke Takeshita & Josh Alexander VS The Dark Order!

Before they take on Will Ospreay & Hangman Page for Beach Break, The Alpha & Walking Weapon are going to make an example out of the Cowboy’s former friends. Will this be the end of The Dark Order once and for all? Or can Evil Uno & Alex Reynolds survive despite not having the Numbers?

“Speedball” Mike Bailey VS Dralistico!

This match came about because La Faccion Ingobernable was upset Kevin Knight’s team won that $400,000 tag match and they decided to make him pay for it physically. LFI essentially screwed The Jet out of a Continental Championship opportunity, but Bailey is going to fight for his friend! Will Bailey start by taking out El Toro Blanco’s brother?

Dralistico hops up onto the barriers so he can soak up the heat. Bailey crawls to the apron but Dralistico shoves him into the ring. Dralistico sits Bailey up, clamps on a GROUND COBRA TWIST, but Bailey endures! Dralistico throws down fists, then tells the fans to shut up!

Dralistico goes back to Bailey, stomps him, then drags him to a drop zone. Dralistico springboards to SWANTON BOMB! Cover, TWO! Dralistico tells everyone to tranquilo, then he stands Bailey up for a HEADBUTT! Dralistico looms over Bailey, stalks him to the ropes, and then KICKS a leg out!

Who will the two mystery participants be? And will anyone be able to score on the Whore We All Adore this close to Double or Nothing?

 

Daniel Garcia VS Dax Harwood w/ Cash Wheeler & Stokely Hathaway!

For the longest time, Red Death respected FTR and FTR respected him. But after FTR selfishly betrayed Adam Copeland and put themselves ahead of everyone else, Garcia could not stand by and do nothing. Garcia dared one of the Top Guys to step up, will he take that Top Guy out? Or will this (emotionally) hurt FTR more than it hurts Garcia?

The bell rings and Dax circles with Garcia. Garcia is also wary of how Cash and #BigStoke are moving around ringside. The fans taunt Dax with “BALD! BALD! BALD!” so it isn’t just Ricochet anymore.

He’s allowed to do that, right? The fans still taunt Dax with “BALD! BALD! BALD!” Dax stands Garcia up, reels him in, but Garcia fights the lift! Dax pulls on Garcia’s hair to then CHOP him! Garcia bails out, Dax pursues, and Dax brings Garcia around.

Dax talks trash on the fans, then reels Garcia in. Garcia fights the lift again, trips Dax up, and then CATAPULTS Dax into the POST! The fans fire up while Dax falls in a heap! Garcia stands, rolls into the ring, but just long enough to refresh the count. Dax is busted open and Garcia is right on that bloody forehead! Dax wants mercy but Garcia only backs off to get space. Garcia puts up his dukes, does his dance, and then runs in for a DROPKICK! Dax hits barriers, but Garcia runs again! Another DROPKICK into the barriers! And then a third DROPKICK into the barriers!

The fans boo as Cash says no more! Garcia seethes, and he still runs up, but Dax LARIATS Garcia down! Cash bought Dax time, and now Dax huffs ‘n’ puffs through his crimson mask.

The fans fire up, Stoke freaks out, and Menard fires off on Cash in a corner! Detroit is all fired up as Collision goes picture in picture!

Cash runs away to the back but Menard pursues! Now things are a bit more even, with Stoke coaching a bloodied and dazed Dax. Dax staggers to his feet, goes over to Garcia, and drags him up to put him in the ring. Dax talks more trash on the fans, then he storms in after Garcia. Dax suplexes and hits a BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Garcia is still in this and Dax grows frustrated. The ref checks Dax while the fans rally behind Garcia. Dax is okay to continue, and he brings Garcia up, only for Garcia to cradle! TWO!!

Detroit tells Dax he done F’d up, but Nigel just puts his headset back on. Nigel says he is a professional, but a professional commentator. Dax is the wrestler, so Nigel will not touch him. Dax SHOVES Nigel down! Nigel is furious but Dax already storms off to find Garcia. Dax puts Garcia in the ring, but Garcia reels Dax in! Dax fights the lift, Stoke barks from the apron! The ref backs stoke off, but Dax LOW BLOWS Garcia!

But now Nigel is storming down to ringside! Garcia fights the lift and Nigel is on the apron! Dax storms up on Nigel, but Nigel RAMS Dax down low! UPPERCUT! But Cash is back!

Menard is back and he LARIATS Cash up and out! The fans fire up as Menard, Garcia and McGuinness stand tall together! FTR kept pushing buttons but they pushed the wrong ones! Will Stoke, Dax & Cash have to fear the repercussions of their actions?


My Thoughts:

A great Collision, but it apparently caught a bit of the Go Home Syndrome. There were quite a few recap packages I skipped but clearly they are working to hype Beach Break for next. Moxley’s newest promo was alright, didn’t really add much, because as I said just last night, Moxley surely finds a way to retain with help from The Death Riders. I will say, it made a lot of sense for the remaining Death Riders to cost Willow. Marina and Willow still have beef, and I’m still hoping on my idea from last night: Shayna Baszler shows up, teams with Marina, we get Shayna & Marina VS Willow & Kris. Let’s up the ante and get another classic Street Fight Tag out of Kris & Willow.

Great promo from Toni Storm to open the night, and good to hear Skye Blue is back. Another Fatal 4 Way Eliminator makes me wonder if one of the mystery entrants ends up taking the loss. There was also that spider during Kris VS Willow, which I believe is a teaser for Thekla. Thekla could easily jump into the Fatal 4 Way and get close to winning, but who knows. And as I said last night, not sure why they’re holding Athena back from doing much of anything right now. With Supercard of Honor now delayed to July to coincide with All In: Texas, Athena should really be getting involved more on AEW TV so people don’t forget she exists.

Very good stuff with Bowens VS Lee, and I appreciate the albeit lazy way they changed Bowen’s logo so that it doesn’t resemble the Shane Taylor Promotions’ STP. Bowens of course wins, but his promo after was pretty much the same as his other ones. At least he did one last scissoring with Billy. Bowens is unfortunately not going to get a title story right now with all the champions preoccupied in something else. Though honestly, I feel like there is a way for Okada VS Bowens to be a great match, and then someone violates the Continental Rules so that Okada loses without really losing. Best way I can think of is Swerve is hunting The Bucks, they go ringside, and since Bucks are associate with Okada, that’s a violation on his part, and it adds more heat to whatever big thing Double or Nothing has planned.

Great stuff from the Don Callis Family in all their matches. I wasn’t expecting a big 8 Man Tag, and I’m a little disappointed Brody King wasn’t one of the participants, but maybe that’s the next phase. Great showing from the Faces, especially AR Fox. Fox is in a similar boat to Bowens where he certainly deserves title opportunities but TK just isn’t seeing how to write it. But between that and the dominance Konosuke & Alexander over Dark Order, it feels like the Don Callis Family get their comeuppance with Hangman & Ospreay winning next week.

Ricochet VS Angelico was rather outta nowhere but it was still a great match. It was also clearly a vehicle so Ricochet could start beef with Zach (Zack?) Gowen and give us a Beach Break match between them for the real deepcut long time wrestling fans. Much like Bowens and Fox, I feel like Ricochet is waiting on a title to be freed up from story so he can go get those titles. Such as Paragon now feuding with Grizzled Young Veterans for a minute, which in a way keeps Adam Cole isolated. TK should’ve just given us Ricochet VS Cole for the fun of it because Ricochet VS Cole would be incredibly fun stuff. They could even revisit their NXT history if they wanted to.

Great stuff with Gates of Agony and Learning Tree, that was much better than last week’s. I really hope this gives us a Tornado Tag match. For that matter, why aren’t we getting that in the story of Anna Jay & Harley Cameron VS Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford? Good promo from those teams to hype up… just Anna VS Megan… It’d make Beach Break Collision feel all the bigger but whatever, maybe they feel Ford still isn’t up to speed after that Fatal 4 Way last night. But doing a chaotic tag match could help iron out some of that so that Ford can just focus on what she is good at with the gymnastics and throwing hands.

And awesome stuff with Garcia VS “Dax the Axe” in the main event. And yeah, I didn’t put it in myself, but they’re really committing to that as Dax’s ring name right now. Great to see Menard helping Garcia, and even Nigel standing up for himself against Dax. A “No Contest” result was a little odd but I suppose that’s like saying it is a draw where no one goes over. But with the Faces standing tall, maybe Nigel steps in and teams with Garcia right now for Double or Nothing so that Garcia teaming with Cope is the All In moment.

My Score: 8.8/10
