The Great American Bash cookout is on!
Everyone eats up, enjoys music and good times, until Lexis King takes over the playlist. What trash is this? Hank ‘n’ Tank apologize. They were hoping Eddy Thorpe would DJ tonight, but unfortunately… Lexis says Eddy “unfortunately” won’t be scratching records with his beep boop lame excuse for music, because The King broke Eddy’s hand. So they’re gonna listen to old school rock ‘n’ roll, because no one here would know music if it slapped them in the face! But speaking of Eddy, he storms in! Hank ‘n’ Tank say no no no, no fighting during the party. Show Lexis to the exit. Bye bye!
And now it is TIME! The Bodacious Belly Boys Big Time Wing Off~! Robert Stone & Stevie Turner show up now, and Stone says if this was machete, he’d finish it off in a heartbeat. Stevie says she can totally eat more than Stone. Tank says they gotta do it! Stone VS Stevie! Stone says no, he shouldn’t, but then Stevie asks if he’s chicken! Scared she’s gonna kick his ass at this? No! Then let’s do it! The party is fired up now! On your marks, get set… HONK HONK! They chow down, and Ava Raine can’t even that these are her assistants. Who comes out the chicken champion of NXT? We’ll check in later on to find out.
Ethan Page is in medical?
He asks the medics make the ice baths just one degree warmer than usual. He has really sensitive skin. But then in steps Nathan Frazer says, “Good luck tonight, champ.” Ethan asks if Frazer just wished him luck. He doesn’t need luck, especially with how talented he is. But Nathan might need a smidge of that luck given his tag partner, Axiom, got pinned by MSK. Yes, that did happen. But Ethan knows about getting pinned, right? That won’t be happening tonight! But hey, maybe they should wait and see who even walks out of The Bash with their title. Instead of wishing someone luck, maybe Nathan should worry about where his partner even is right now.
Ethan laughs and Nathan laughs that off. But Ethan does have a point… Will Axiom make it to the show in time for the showdown?
NXT Women’s North American Championship: Kelani Jordan VS Tatum Paxley!
Speaking of championships, this is the first of three title matches! And while the Gym Princess likes to be a Standout, she probably didn’t want the kind of attention twisted Tatum shows. Will Tatum toy with Kelani and take the title for her own? Or will we see that no one does it like Lani?

Charlie Dempsey talks with Myles Borne.
This thing with Kendall Grey is embarrassing, to where Myles doesn’t wanna talk about it. Wren Sinclair walks in and asks where Tavion is. Did he get trunked, too? Sure, he lost to Tony D last week, but c’mon. No, Tavion is in Japan for the N1 tournament. Oh, right, Japan. Wink wink. Is that the new term for WHAM WHAM, SLAM, “Mistakes won’t be tolerated!” No…! Stop. Tavion really IS in Japan. Sure… But tonight, she’ll take on that girl who keeps picking on Myles. And Myles hopes she takes it to her. Then when Wren wins, she’s in the group? How ’bout no? But then in walks The D’Angelo Family.
Tony says looks like “Mini Don” is in a tough spot. Doesn’t Dempsey have a No Girls Allowed policy? But what about this? Tony will sweeten the pot: If Wren wins, Charlie gets a shot at the Heritage Cup next week. What does he say? The others are for it, so Charlie accepts. Oh, sorry, what did he say? Wren isn’t sure she heard him. Wow, she can’t hear him either? Myles… But Wren puts it together: Charlie’s Heritage Cup match depends on Wren’s match with Kendall. The stakes are real high, Charles, she isn’t sure she has it. Fine! When Wren wins, she’s in the group, too. But only because she’s the ticket to the Cup.
Oba Femi pushes his way through, and he seems to be headed for Ava’s office. What will The Ruler have to say to the GM? And now we see Frazer on the phone, trying to call Axiom, but then Axiom walks in right behind him. Where’s he been? Axiom was giving Frazer space. But hey, let’s do the thing, right? Yeah, glad to see Axiom finally show up! Time to strategize! The Undeniable Hard-Hitting Truths hurry, but will they be ready in time for the main event?

Refs and producers rush in to stop the brawl! Is Trick going to “figure it out” in round two? Or will The Bruiserweight just have to teach him the same lesson over again?

Backstage interview with The Rascalz.
Kelly Kincaid is with Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz & Wes Lee, and of course Wentz & Lee are suited up as MSK. Trey looks left out. But what does the journey to this tag team championship match mean to them? Wentz says it has been 852 long days since they had those titles. Tears, frustrations, wishing this day would come. The thing is, Wes- well, they never thought this moment would come, and it is hard to put into words how much it means to them. With Trey & Wentz, they are… Wes gets emotional, but he says he has had some dark days. One day, MSK are the Tag Team Champions, blazing their own trail. And then the next, Wes is all by himself, having to figure this out by himself.
Wes was fortunate enough to have been North American Champion and have an amazing run. But this right here, standing next to his brothers, is by far the best moment of his career. Now NXT is all about moments, so it will take a lot of effort to win tonight. But at the same time, this is their night. Trey says together, they are the Rascalz. But tonight is about MSK. And that’s all night, and all day! The dynamic duo is back at it again, will they once again be NXT Tag Team Champions?
Lola Vice speaks.
“Tenacity? Si. Passion? Definitely. Next level competition? You know it. Fists and hips that don’t lie? Obviously. Tearing the house down? Always. But mercy? Nope. Para nada! There’s No Mercy here.” NXT No Mercy arrives in Denver, Colorado September 1st! Watch only on Peacock.
The Great American Bash cookout continues!
Hank is serving up the ranch dressing, everyone is playing cornhole, and wait, who is that? Jaida Parker tells Brinley Reece that that is Dion Lennox, obviously. Does she know nothing? But in steps Ashante THEE Adonis, trying to say Adonisly, all you need is right here. Brin tries not to laugh, and Jaida says she is not worried about Ashante or anything else besides THE NXT Women’s Championship. Because Miss Parker’s got next. Oh, no no no. Lola Vice says she’s got next. Ashante says yummy, muy caliente. Lola says she was this close to winning at Heatwave. Jaida knows that, but that means Lola got her turn. Jaida wants hers.
But in steps Tyson Dupont. Can we all at least agree that last week, Thea Hail VS Roxanne Perez was fire? And he’d love seeing that again. Jaida says no one was asking for “meatball’s” opinion. But then in steps BJ Ray to say they can all get that title shot, cuz they’re all smoke shows. Lola BODY BLOWS Ray! Then Jaida & Sol set him up for a TRIPLE BOMB through the table! Hank ‘n’ Tank know they said no fighting, but that was awesome!
Joe Hendry VS Joe Coffey w/ Gallus!

This is a new classroom, but they cannot give up. They have to fight harder! Now listen, Ridge has pulled his very last favor with Ava. Next week, they get a tag team championship match with the winners of tonight’s main event!
HOLY ISH!! Now that IS great news! Duke & Chase are ready to go! Oh, uh, sorry, Ridge should’ve been more clear. The formation will be Ridge & Chase this time. Ridge wants to prove himself by bringing gold home. They’ve gotta win, Ridge’s gotta win, and if anyone deserves it, it’s Mr. Chase. They ALL deserve it! Tag team titles or bust! Thea says Ridge is a hero! Riley and Duke don’t look as confident. But will this be the Cinderella story in the making? Or will it be a tragic ending once again for the underdog Chase U?
The Great American Bash cookout continues!
Shawn Spears finds Brooks Jensen. Spears vouched for Jensen, he swayed Ava’s decision, so maybe- Maybe what? Jensen owes Spears his career now? No. But he does owe him an open mind. And if he gives Spears the drink, then Spears can show him he doesn’t need it. Hank ‘n’ Tank walk over and remind the guys, no animosity. Spears & Jensen head out, no alcohol on hand. But is Spears still going to be a bad influence of his own?
Meanwhile, Brin, Carlee & Kendal talk about how deep and competitive the NXT Women’s Division is right now. Everyone wants to fight for a chance. Speaking of competitive, are Stevie and Stone okay? Looks like they might’ve overdone it on the barbecue wings… Roxanne Perez walks in and says oh, look! Girls she hasn’t beat yet. Bye. Stone hears them talking and has an idea. Okay, good. Spit it out then. For every woman who hasn’t had a title opportunity yet, it will be a big contender’s match. He’ll go tell Ava. He can’t, he’s covered in sauce! Also, BOP! Stevie hurries away, and in step The Good Brothers.
Gallows & Anderson don’t approve of the menu. Oh, is Tank thinking what Hank’s thinking? Yeah, The Good Brothers are the only ones to complain about the food and drinks at all tonight. Well, Big LG, what do you expect from a Hank ‘n’ Tank party? Okay, they said no fighting at the party, but party’s over! Hank ‘n’ Tank throw hands with the Good Brothers! The rest of the guests fire up, but will we see these big boys all have it out in the ring soon enough?

High Stakes: Wren Sinclair w/ The No Quarter Catch Crew VS Kendal Grey w/ Carlee Bright!
The deal was struck with The Don, and this match is more than just a match. If Wren wins, not only is she NQCC 4 Life, Charlie Dempsey gets his chance to take the Heritage Cup back. But if she loses, there’s no telling what she’ll say and do… Will the NQCC make sure Wren gets that W? Or will Kendall throw everyone for a loop?

Kendal hops around, flips through and hits an arm-drag into an armbar! Wren stacks to a cover, TWO! Kendal hits a fireman’s carry takeover, and she has the top wristlock.

Kendal goes up, over, to the far corner, then goes up to CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Kendal arm-drags Wren right down to a wristlock! Wren scuffs Kendal, fights up, and grinds forearms in. Kendal whips Wren to a corner, runs up, but Wren goes up and over! Wren CLOBBERS Kendal, then runs to BASEMENT BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! The fans rally, Wren clamps on with another hammerlock. Wren wants the other arm but Kendal resists. Wren shifts to a leg, has a modified BOW ‘N’ ARROW, and she pulls Kendal back! Kendal endures, Carlee is concerned, but Wren sits up to have the traditional BOW ‘N’ ARROW!
Myles says see? Wren’s good! Dempsey admits that, but Kendal pops free to a cover, TWO! Wren storms up on Kendal, whips, but Kendal reverses to hit a NECKBREAKER! Both women rise, and Kendal CLOBBERS Wren! And CLOBBERS her again! And then clinches to OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Wren bails out, Kendal storms out and Myles stays back.

The ref reprimands, Kendal storms up, but Wren waistlocks.
Kendal breaks free, tackles Wren, and jackknife bridges! Dempsey reaches out but hesitates! TWO for Wren! Wren has the prawn hold, TWO!! Wren DECKS Kendal!! Kendal flounders, Wren storms up on her! DIRTY DEEDS! Cover, Wren wins!!
Winner: Wren Sinclair, by pinfall (officially joins the NQCC)
Well what do you know? Maybe the NQCC has just needed a woman’s touch! She throws up the clutch hand sign, Dempsey does it reluctantly, but now Dempsey has his shot at Tony D. Will Dempsey make the most of this opportunity and bring the cup back to the crew?
Je’Von Evans speaks.
“Y’all really wanna know more about me, don’t you?” Je’Von had his family, teachers and everyone telling him he needed a back-up plan in life. They wanted him to go to college, and no disrespect, because that is great advice, just not for him. Wrestling was always the goal! And then, he got signed just last November! Ever since then, like, it’s been going crazy. The first WWE superstar he met, Matt Bloom, aka Lord Tensai, aka A-Train. That guy is BIG. Je’Von remembers walking up and asking how he got those tattoos off his face. Bloom just laughed it off and took a picture with Je’Von. That was 2013. Now, he’s Je’Von’s coach! Wait, can they cut him revealing he was Tensai?
The producer asks where Je’Von sees himself in 10 years. To when? Je’Von can’t even think that far! He only turned 20 in April, so he doesn’t even know where he is now. But he does k now he is gonna be growing up in front of our eyes. So sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride with him. The Young OG has a bright future, will we see him become the future of the WWE?
NXT Media catches up with Oba Femi.
How’d the meeting go with Ava? He says it was very exciting and productive. Because next week, Oba is defending his North American title. Against who? Against whoever is brave or stupid enough to step up to him. Oba wants to find out- Tony D walks in and says the real scoop is he beats Charlie in the Heritage Cup match and there’s nothing Charlie can do about it. The Don is laughing now, but will the NQCC have the last laugh? As for Oba, who will try to take the throne away from The Ruler?
NXT Tag Team Championships: Nathan Frazer & Axiom VS MSK!
This is the moment of truth in many ways! While Frazer & Axiom are all about #NeverSlowDown, they are still arguing about staying in their lane. And while this is the Rascalz Reunion Tour, it is also a chance for Wes Lee & Zachary Wentz to win back these titles. This is going to be fast and furious for sure, but who comes out golden on the other side?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who makes this must-see!
The teams sort out and Wes starts against Axiom. They circle as the fans rally up. The two tie up, Axiom hits a headlock takeover then wrenches an arm. Wes rolls, but Axiom wrangles him.

Tag to Wes, Zach keeps going on Frazer! Wes drags Frazer out to cover, TWO! Zach was being a bit extra but Wes stalks Frazer to ropes. Frazer grabs ropes while Wes grabs his legs.

Frazer & Axiom hold up their belts while NXT goes picture in picture.
Frazer & Axiom put the belts back on the podium, then they put Wes back in the ring. Axiom covers, TWO! Wes grits his teeth as he stays in this, but Axiom whips him to the corner. Wes uses that to BLAST Frazer! Wes then goes up and over Axiom, rolls, hot tag to Zach! Axiom rushes over, Zach KICKS Axiom in the ropes! Zach steps in to CODE- NO, Axiom stops that to throw Zach back. But Zach fires fast hands, kicks, and then ENZIGIRIS Axiom down! The fans fire up with Zach and he CHOPS Axiom against ropes. Zach whips, Axiom reverses, and Axiom DROPKICKS Zach down! Axiom drags Zach over, tag to Frazer.
Frazer CLUBS Zach, then snap suplexes! Cover, ONE! Frazer is annoyed but he drags Zach around to have a HALF CRAB! Zach endures, crawls forward, but Frazer shifts into an STF! Frazer pulls Zach back with the crossface, then shifts to just the facelock. But Zach powers up to back suplex free! Frazer lands out, he back suplexes high and hard! Cover, TWO!

MSK was so close time and again, but they could not take those titles back! #Fraxiom stands tall, but they also show respect to MSK. They all shake hands and hug it out, and now the champs have to turn right around for next week’s match. Will Frazer & Axiom still be golden after taking on Mr. Chase & Yorkshire Grit?
As for The Rascalz, they tell Wes it’s fine. They gave it their all, they can always go for the belts again. The fans chant, “Thank You, Rascalz!

Wes bends Trey’s bandaged finger, then RAMS him through barriers!! Wes snarls and he takes aim at Zach.
Wes runs up to METEORA Zach against the steps!! The fans tell Wes off but something about that was cathartic for the Cardiac Kid. But what does this turn to the dark side mean for Wes’ future?
My Thoughts:
An awesome finale for this year’s Great American Bash, great story progression in just about every segment tonight. The Great American Bash barbecue party segments were all a lot of fun, and clearly we’re getting more Eddy VS Lexis, Good Brothers VS Hank ‘n’ Tank, and perhaps a battle royal to determine Roxanne’s challenge for No Mercy. Now, what would be awesome is if one of these new signees to NXT, like Stephanie Vaquer, Giulia or Delta, debut through this match and win it all. That would make for a big title match at No Mercy, but there is the need to have something big for NXT moving to CW in October, so maybe it won’t be one of those big names.
Another element from the party promos is Spears talking with Jensen. Spears may want to influence Jensen to be sinister, but you gotta appreciate the element of Spears wanting what’s physically best for Jensen, aka cutting back on the alcohol and being sober. Another good promo from Je’Von, and the fact we’re getting more feels like NXT is really investing in The Young OG. Je’Von has shown ability, personality and charisma beyond his years, I wouldn’t be surprised if they really are planning on making him a centerpiece for this next generation. And same for Lola, her getting to give the No Mercy commercial promo means she’s an important piece to NXT moving forward, too.
Additionally, very good promo from Chase U to set up a new tag title opportunity. And I figured there’d be a change in the line-up. Ridge & Riley didn’t work, Chase & Duke failed this past time, so Ridge & Chase is certainly a logical combo they’d try. Personally, I thought they’d do Ridge & Duke to double the size and strength, but story wise there is definitely something to it being Ridge & Chase. Maybe Ridge can’t help but cheat to win this one, all the more reason I feel like he and Duke should’ve been the combo since they’ve argued over that before. At the same time, maybe Duke and Riley coast the team since they gave that look to each other during the promo.
Speaking of the tag titles, we got great promos tonight from both teams. Frazer again concerned about Axiom’s divided attention, though it didn’t really hurt them in the end. Wes being emotional talking about his team could actually have been some foreshadowing of that ending. That tag match was awesome, and I suppose Frazer & Axiom winning made sense, they’re the full NXT tag team, a TNA team wasn’t getting these titles. And Wes’s betrayal of The Rascalz, motivated by what he feels was a betrayal by them first, was a shocking ending, but could also spur a story for them that crosses over between both NXT & TNA.
Great stuff from the No Quarter Catch Crew and D’Angelo Family. Wren is getting to show some real fun personality, and cool plug that Tavion is in NOAH’s N1, the parallel to NJPW’s G1. I also like how Kendal & Carlee are at least getting TV time, though they’re being fed to others. I like that Wren wins her way into NQCC and gets Dempsey a title match. Good promo in The D’Angelos interrupting Oba. The Heritage Cup match could probably go either way, but I’m personally thinking Wren helps Dempsey win the cup so he truly accepts her. As for Oba, an Open Challenge could be a doorway to another TNA star showing up in NXT for a real awesome match.
Great Women’s North American Championship match from Kelani and Tatum, and the fans are becoming big fans of Tatum. I’m sure I said this before, but I appreciate the long term booking of Alba & Isla being right about Tatum having a twisted side. And just as I thought Wendy and Tatum were gonna be a team, Wendy beats Tatum down and is basically going to be Kelani’s next opponent. I have a feeling Kelani makes it through Wendy, but that’s if the match happens on TV. There’s a likely chance No Mercy sees someone dethrone Kelani, but I suppose we’ll have to wait and see who gets that shot.
Great opening match from Trick and Dunne, and I was surprised Dunne won. At the same time, that is a great way to propel Trick’s story, because he and Dunne can go even harder, maybe add a stipulation or something, as they both fight to prove they’re worthy of the NXT Championship. Ethan VS Oro was also great, probably Oro’s best match since signing with WWE, and that’s going back to NXT UK. But in the end, Ethan retains and calls out both Dunne and Trick. Makes me think they might do a Triple Threat. I was kind of hoping while Ethan was bragging, someone would show up, but there really isn’t anyone else primed for a shot.
Unless it’s Joe Hendry! Hendry VS Coffey was a very good match, and of course Gallus got involved, but of course Hendry won out. Hendry saying he wants to hang out in NXT more makes me think he might actually just join NXT as soon as his TNA contract is up. And I am sure so many fans would go nuts over seeing Hendry win the NXT Championship. That’s either NXT Chicago for the CW debut, or at the end of this year at NXT Deadline. I guess that still depends on where Trick’s story goes, but it would be some good stuff to see Hendry and Trick face each other as two of the most popular Faces at this level.
My Score: 9.1/10

It’s the WrestleMania Countdown Show!
Join Joe Tessitore, Wade Barrett, Corey Graves & Big E on discussing, analyzing, and predicting the action we’re about to see Sin City!
What WrestleMania Moment is your favorite?
42 years of history and spectacle, it’s hard to choose just one. Hulk Hogan VS Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan VS The Rock, Eddie Guerrero winning the WWE Championship, the entire Undertaker’s undefeated streak. But it doesn’t really matter which moment is your favorite or if they’re all your favorite, because the Grandest Stage of Them All means so much to all of us. The magic, the memories, the legacy, it’s WrestleMania!
The Las Vegas Mass Choir sings God Bless America.
WrestleMania: The Ultimate Stage.
Lin-Manuel Miranda says, “It’s something you can’t really explain, that feeling when the lights come on. The crowd roars, and you realize there’s no bigger stage than this. No brighter lights, no higher stakes, no louder crowd, and no second takes. It happens once, and it’s forever. Cuz memories are made in this ring, and we, you and me, the fans, we get to be there for moments we’ll never forget. We were there when the Irresistible Force met the Immovable Object. We were there when it seemed impossible, until it happened. When legends took their final bows. When Seth shocked the world. When Cody finished his story and made his dad proud.
“And years from now, decades from now, our kids will tell their kids that we were alive and we were there when Punk fought Roman for the title. When La Primera confronted La Guerita. When the Voices tried to squash the Nightmare. When Jade and Rhea stood face to face. When Oba stepped onto this stage, the biggest stage of them all, for the very first time. There’s no way to know exactly what drama lies ahead, but we know we’re here for the pops and the surprises, the memories that will last a lifetime. We are here, we are alive, no second takes. Lights up, the curtain’s about to rise. Welcome to WrestleMania!”
JOHN CENA is here!
Las Vegas fires up for The GOAT as he walks out on stage in his nicest suit. Cena says he knows, don’t worry, they’re not gonna run. Cena walks down the ramp, waves to the fans, and goes to the ring. The fans chant his name while he gets the mic, and Cena is already a bit emotional. “Wow, I didn’t expect that. Thank you so much. Sorry, uh, long time fan, long time performer, first time host, how am I doing so far? It’s undeniable that this year’s Road to WrestleMania has been chaos. It has been unpredictable. And from every side, from both in here, hell, back there, and out here, it has been very, very vocal.
“One could say it’s… Michael Cole, is it polarizing? Yes, polarizing. Now I see why I got the hosting gig. This is the moment I love the most. Especially on the Road to WrestleMania. We’re all in here for the same reason: Because we know the time to talk is up. The time to deliver is NOW! And we are all here with one thing on our minds: Who tonight will step up and deliver?” The fans cheer for that! Cena says it is such a great honor, ladies and gentlemen, and everyone watching around the world, WELCOME TO WRESTLEMANIA! The pyro goes off as the fans cheer, and it’s about to begin!

ESPN Hour – Unsanctioned Match: Jacob Fatu VS Drew McIntyre!
At first, The Samoan Werewolf was after the Scottish Terminator because Drew was the #1 suspect in the whodunnit. But as Drew kept finding ways to screw Fatu out of golden opportunities, this got more and more personal, and more and more violent!

Once in range, Fatu DIVES on Drew at the ramp! The bell rings as Fatu throws Drew into barriers, smacks him off apron, and repeat! Then Fatu POSTS Drew! Fatu keeps Drew on his feet to then THROW over barriers and into the timekeeper’s area! The fans fire up as Fatu goes looking under the ring. Fatu brings out a TABLE! And then another TABLE! The fans cheer as Fatu is going double or nothing already, as he also adds a couple chairs! Then a couple more! And a couple more! Drew crawls his way over but Fatu KNEES him down! Fatu then brings out the toolbox! Fatu grins as he dumps out the tools, then threatens Drew with the box!

Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes VS Randy Orton w/ Pat McAfee!
The American Nightmare didn’t realize what he was doing telling The Viper he could be “the best” version of himself for this match. The Apex Predator unleashed that 2009 Randy Orton, and maybe even a little more, and apparently all with Pat coaching him up. But will this form of Randy Orton earn that 15th world championship? Or will Cody make sure Randy (and Pat) can’t “save” the WWE?
Pat McAfee makes his entrance first so he can flip off fans and tell them off, just as they do to him. Then Orton makes his entrance, with fans still singing along to Voices. Pat even joins Orton in doing the iconic pose from the corners. The tron then changes things up from the Mad Max wasteland to a Marvel’s Ironman style vault, or perhaps even Batman’s Bat Cave. The many phases of Cody’s career, from being just a rookie in green, to being the “Dashing” Cody Rhodes, to even Stardust, and now, the American Nightmare. And from below rises IRON CODY! “Wrestling has more than one royal family.”
The fans cheer and sing along with Kingdom as Cody unzips the golden jacket to show off the title, “WHOA~ OH~!” The ramp is so long, we get the second “WHOA~ OH~” and pyro before Cody’s even truly ringside. Cody still high-fives the young fans up front, and of course holds up his daughter, before going to the ring. The introductions are made, with Pat interrupting. “Listen up, you disgusting pigs! Make some noise for the man who stands at 6’5″, 275 pounds! A depiction of perfection in professional wrestling! When he walks outta here tonight, he’s gonna show each and every one of you fat ass bums what greatness looks like as he becomes a FIFTEEN TIME WORLD CHAMPION~!”
The fans are torn as Pat says this is the man who saves the business tonight, RRRRANDY… ORRRRTOOON~! The fans do still cheer, then Alicia Taylor gives Cody his intro. The belt is raised, and if wrestling has more than one royal family, then we’re about to see who reigns supreme!

The fans go nuts as Jelly tells Cody to go do this 1v1!
Cody returns to the ring, but where is Orton? Orton realizes what just happened to Pat, and producers hurry out here, leading the way for the stretcher. The fans cheer and sing, “Hey hey hey, goodbye~!” Pat is put on the stretcher and is wheeled up the ram. Pat gives a thumbs up, then a middle finger. Orton sighs and shakes his head, then storms his way into the ring. The bell finally rings and the fans cheer. Cody and Orton stare down while the fans duel. They run up, tie up, and go around. They go along the ropes, around in corners, and back to center. They break, circle again, and tie up again. Orton headlocks but Cody endures the grind.

Cody goes up and over, but Orton is ready! Cody ducks the lariat, kicks and RHODES UPPERCUTS! Orton comes back, Cody dodges, and Cody SNAP POWERSLAMS! The fans are torn as Cody uses the move taught to him by Orton. Orton slowly rises, Cody springboards, but Orton catches him to the BACK2BACKBREAKER! Orton hobbles from that move, was that double-edged given his past back injury? Orton pokes Cody in the eyes to slow him down, then snapmares for a chinlock. The fans rally as Cody endures, fights up, and powers up to hit a BIG back suplex! Orton writhes and bails out, very angry right about now.

Orton ROCKS Cody, Cody ROCKS Orton, but Orton rebounds to kick low! Cody ROCKS Orton again, but Orton ROCKS Cody again! Cody fires a flurry, ROCKS Orton again, but Orton ROCKS Cody! The fans are starting to favor Orton, but Cody uses an eye poke! Orton RKOS the ref!! Orton and Cody are both stunned! All Orton saw was blonde hair and he struck! But speaking of, Cody senses Orton sneaking up, and he blocks the low blow! Cody LOW BLOWS Orton!!
The fans are going nuts as Cody, busted open in his own right, is doing what he has to! Cody goes up, up, and SUPER CODY- RKO!!! Orton strikes again, but now the ref can’t count! But wait, is that PAT?! In a neck brace and a ref shirt?!? Pat slides into the ring and counts, TWO?!?!? Cody survives and no one knows what to make of this! Well, the fans do know, “Ref, You Suck!” Pat isn’t sure what to do but Orton stands up. Pat says beat that ass, but Orton RKOS Pat!! The fans cheer that, but then Cody snatches Orton! CROSS RHODES!!! Cover, CODY WINS!!
Winner: Cody Rhodes, by pinfall (still Undisputed WWE Champion)
The moment Orton lost focus, he lost the title! In Pat’s defense, he was trying to help. But Orton grabs the belt to CLOBBER Cody with it!! The Viper may not have his 15th reign, but he looks at the belt in his hands, then looks down at Cody. Orton tosses the belt aside, just as he has the friendship with Cody! ORTON PUNT!!!! Vegas is erupting as Orton really has gone back to 2009!! Orton holds up the belt again, standing over Cody, a sinister smile on his bloodied face. Night one didn’t end how Orton wanted, but will he make sure this story with Cody meets a violent end?
My Thoughts:
A very good first night for WrestleMania 42, a lot of fun, and a lot better than the build was giving us. Though, given they televised the first hour and have only further commercialized Mania, there were also a lot of ads. And anyone on ESPN Unlimited, chances are you dealt with weird streaming problems where ad breaks made the thing skip back almost entire segments. As far as I could tell from the live crowd, they all enjoyed a large part of the show, except for how we ended on Orton standing tall but not champion. I’m a little surprised by that, given Pat being such a big part of the story. Jelly obliterating Pat and the desk was great, though.
But perhaps there’s more to this given Cody was using Heel tactics to counter Heel Orton, and how Orton turned on Pat already. Will “the powers that be” behind Pat now want to punish Orton? Is Cody going to actually turn Heel? Cody at least proved to Stephanie McMahon that Cody could do what he has to in order to beat “this Randy Orton.” Orton also ended up with kayfabe back problems outta nowhere, and I can’t be sure if that was supposed to protect Orton in the loss or what. Orton and Cody getting bloody was a nice touch, though. Even if you don’t factor in Pat, a lot of the problem is WWE didn’t factor in how fans would react to Orton doing these “2009 Orton” things to Cody, because the fans loved it from the moment Orton turned on Cody at the contract signing.
The televised hour was really good to get the ball rolling. Not sure The Vision needed a 9-way split screen… I figured Knight & Usos would win the Six Man Tag, but that wasn’t how I expected it. I did appreciate them turning the “misunderstanding causing dysfunction” around on Theory & Logan. Kudos to Speed hitting the SUPER frog splash, Speed might have himself a future in WWE. Fatu VS Drew was a very good Unsanctioned match, but obviously they weren’t going to go as far as anything AEW would do/has done. Maybe they should’ve bled here, too? Either way, great win for Fatu, but I’m not sure what’s next. Will Drew demand a rematch? Or will we finally learn who knocked Fatu’s teeth out last year?
Very good match from Rollins VS Gunther, on its way to great, though ironically that was partially because of the brawling they did before the match. Bron Breakker showing up was only a little surprising, as it was bound to happen, I’m just not sure it needed to happen to affect Rollins VS Gunther. It does protect Rollins in losing to Gunther, but did he need it? Gunther’s Gunther, Rollins can lose to him fair and square, and then Bron spears Rollins inside-out outta nowhere. Rollins VS Bron is now set, and I’m pretty sure Gunther cashes in that favor with Heyman to get his fight with Lesnar.
Very wonderful news from Bianca Belair, it turns out her hand wasn’t why she wasn’t back in the ring yet. John Cena did a good job “hosting” the show, but I don’t think WWE knows what that means anymore. Cena should’ve gotten to join commentary for the main event at least, not just give us the attendance numbers. And even then, just under 51K is not what I expected, but considering they had 60K last year… Well, WWE never acknowledges failings, so guess they’ll just move on like it’s all good.
Honestly, I think the overall best stuff was in the Women’s Division tonight. Well, I’m still not going to be a fan of Heels needing help to win when they can just cheat on their own, but of course Roxie & Raquel helped Liv out, and that gave Judgment Day their WrestleMania moment together. I feel like Vaquer will/should demand her rematch and we get that for Backlash, but in a match that actually stops Judgment Day from interfering. Great Intercontinental Championship match, though it ended up more about Becky’s beef with Jessica Karr than with AJ Lee. But speaking of Heels cheating on their own, Becky does just that, and boom, she’s champ again. I think that makes her and AJ tied in 1v1, so there’s gotta be a tiebreaker at some point.
And how great to see the Women’s Tag title match bring back Paige. A shame for Nikki and her foot but she at least got to be part of the win. Great ring gear for everyone, too, such as Bliss being a moth to pay tribute to Bray and The Irresistible Forces being Demolition. Can’t wait to see what’s next for Paige & The Bella Twins, but I feel like Paige won’t be on the same page as The Bellas for long if Nikki recovers completely and wants to be champion with Brie. But Paige back in the WWE is great in itself, can’t wait to see where she goes from here.
My Score: 8.8/10

Andrew’s JCW Strangle-Mania Results & Match Ratings: 4.18.2026
Grab yourself a Faygo, paint your face and punch sister, JCW Strangle-Mania is invading your brain!
You’re not reading this wrong! Lunacy popped up on my YouTube a few weeks ago, and what can I say, this reminds me of public access ECW Hardcore TV. It’s a bit campy, edgy and is unapologetically Juggalo.
Cokane, J-Rod, Big Al, Facade, and Kerry Morton have definitely intrigued me. On top of the established names like RVD, Nic Nemeth, Mr. Anderson and even Vince Russo has been refreshing.
Plus for somewhat legit reasons, Vampiro is having his retirement match tonight against PCO and Big Vito. So while I don’t know what to expect…I’m anticipating fun with a side of Faygo.
Ratings:
- St Claire Monster Corporation (Kongo Kong, Mr Happy, Beastman) vs Rock N’ Roll Express & Juggalo George South: AARP Trio win via Smashing Fat Dudes Together – (-**) – Yes that’s Negative 2
- Kamikaze Chaos Match: Mickie Knuckles vs Kerry Morton: Kerry wins via…Weapons – * 1/2
- The Outbreak (Abel & Jackson) w/Barnabas the Bizarre vs Brothers of Funstruction (Yabo & Ruffo): Outbreak win via As Above, So Below – ** 1/2

Results:
Violent J opens the show, as he is want to do since he’s come back into part ownership. The Duke of the Wicked keeps it short and sweet since everyone’s been waiting. Smart move.
We move to a backstage segment with Jasmine St. Claire bitching at Vince Russo. There’s a stipulation of, if her Monster Corporation doesn’t win, they disband. She sort of alludes to the match, but it’s not an awful segment.
St Claire Monster Corporation (Kongo Kong, Mr Happy, Beastman) vs Rock N’ Roll Express & Juggalo George South
The monsters attack the ancient trio combine for probably 180 years old. Mr. Happy gets pushed away, George South and Ricky try to control Kongo Kong, but…oh no the Arm Wringers are working. I wasn’t sure at first, but Kongo is in the geriatric corner and isolated with frequent tags…not so quickly. Mr Happy gets tagged in, accidentally Lariats Kongo cause he’s silly.
Beastman just brings himself in and things are breaking down in Lucha level lack of rules. The big boys Monster Mash in the middle because Big vs Old mean everyone is slow. This match is in such slow motion it might be in reverse and Happy gets thrown into his own team because he’s a comedy goof who things its a game. This is…was complete crap.
I guess the pile of shit match got out of the way early. In the famous words of Roan from Grandia II…”Yikes”.
Kamikaze Chaos Match: Mickie Knuckles vs Kerry Morton
Special guest referee Claude aka Brian Zane. Kerry comes out with two white girls dressed like Geisha because he’s a Japanese Legend now.
After an Incel flavored misogynistic promo, he jumps Mickie before the bell, but she turns it around. Gives him the old Kitchen Sink and dumps him outside. Mickie tries to Dive, but Kerry has a perfectly timed Trash Can to her dome. He’s now grabbing chairs, doors, more trash can pieces. He’s building the kitchen just for Mickie. Since he takes forever, when he gets in Mickie grabs his balls and then hits him with a Brainbuster as he sells amusingly. After a few trash can lid shots, Kerry goes to grab Mickie…but you know, it doesn’t work the same for women. She snaps his fingers with her Kegel Grip. He grabs more weapons, cuts Mickie open, but Mickie continues to aim for Kerry’s dick including she just bites his…well…you know. Kerry is about to get Ass Attacked over and over, then uses a Trash Can to keep his face receiving her can.
Kerry goes to grab something but Mickie shoves her thumb up Kerry’s ass. Then she has Claude smell it and help him build the next prop spot. Kerry hits her with a few things, puts her on the gimmick pile, but thinks better than jumping onto it. Claude however rebuilds it and Kerry tries to rub his crotch in her face…which is dumb. So she Headbutts his crotch, he falls through the gimmick pile. Claude gets to a two count and then sneezes.
Kerry hits Claude with a V Trigger accidentally. Saito Suplex, German and then a Northern Lights Suplex from Mickie, but Claude is dead, so no referee for the count. Kerry manages to turn things around, Suplexes Mickie through a door, beats her across the skull with the pieces but she fires, Donkey Kick to the back of her head, and he pins her with his crotch in her face. Claude is miraculously alive, and counts the three.
Not a good match, but kinda fun in how despicably shit it was.
The Outbreak (Abel & Jackson) w/Barnabas the Bizarre vs Brothers of Funstruction (Yabo & Ruffo) vs BackSeat Boyz (Tommy & JP Grayson)
Oh look, Ruffo found Yabo. Glad he’s not sleeping with the fishes yet.
The clowns bounce a balloon off the zombies…and the zombies fire and attack, so they start brawling. Jackson and Yabo start throwing hands, before Ruffo and Abel get involved again. The tornado aspect continues, there’s no control and Violent J walks out. Tells them to expect the unexpected.
BackSeat Boyz come down, T Gimmick the zombies, the clowns face off with them and BackSeats do a little dance, before the clowns make them pay with stereo Manhattan Drops and then a coconut crunch. Zombies are back up, slides under legs, stereo Slingblades, Corner Attacks of Splashes and Uppercuts, the Clowns flop out after the punishment. BackSeat is back in, but the zombies were winning until an Eye Rake, but then Tommy eats an Assited Flatliner. Outbreak wants As Above…but BackSeat stop it, hit the Street Sweeper! They want to T Gimmick Jackson, but Ruffo and Yabo Balloon the Boyz. Hulk Hand Uppercut rocks JP, Rubber Chicken Assisted Big Boot lays out Tommy.
Rubber Chicken Tickle doesn’t work on zombies so they dispose of Ruffo, hit Yabo with As Above, So Below and out favorite cocaine alcoholic zombies win the match!
The Outbreak had some cocaine on them and do celebratory cocaine! Barnabas is beside himself.
JCW American Title: Facade (c) vs Mecha Wolf vs Ninja Mack vs Disco Ray w/The Ring Rat vs Boogie Boarding Mikey Avalon
Well if you score based on looks, you’d think only Mecha, Mack or Facade should win this match.
Disco Ray starts his dance, trying to get the vibes rolling, everyone is playing along until he gets to Facade who just flips him off and shoves him. So everyone dogpiles Facade because he’s a dick, then we get a test of strength, but Ray is just vibing and dancing. Mecha clears the other three, but Ray’s hips don’t lie and he Splits under a lariat, hits one of his own, wiggles out cinque and drops Mack, Mikey Avalon eats a Flip, Flop and Fly with tambourines. Ray is having fun, but Facade returns to the match and ends Ray’s fun.
Ray tries to Irish Whip Facade, he does a Neck Bridge in the corner for about a minute. Ray gets Up and Overed, Avalon eats a kick after a Matrix, Mecha eats a Disaster Kick from Facade and then goes for an Escalara, but Ninja Mack cuts off Facade. Mack is taking too long to so his Cartwheel Corkscrew Splash and Avalon just gets involved. Avalon Sabu’s a Boogie Board at Facade and then a Scoop Slam with the board.
Avalon uses a Surfboard Stretch, with a Surfboard. Mecha Wolf clocks Avalon and spikes Ninja Mack. Frog Splash from Mecha, but Disco makes the save. Ray connects on a Neckbreaker, but Ninja Mack flies out of nowhere with an Uppercut, Facade with a Rope Walk Dropkick but Mecha hits a Busaiku Knee and everyone is down. Side Slam from Avalon, but Mecha Powders. Cannonballs for all from Avalon. Mecha Muta Mist to Avalon, Ninja Mack Superkick, Mack hits a Sasuke Special on Mecha! Ray tries some rope run, but Facade counters it into a cradle, Ray hits Panic at the Disco but Facade kicks out.
Ring Rat doesn’t want to give Ray the chair, she turns on Ray with a Low Blow. Facade has the chair, Facade Sabu’s the chair, sets it up, Triple Jump Moonsault for the Sabu reference, Facade retains. Not executed well, but neither were most of Sabu’s moves and then we see the Ring Rat walk up the ramp to Steven Flowe.
The Green Phantom comes out…oy vey. Oh and it’s literally just him walking around the crowd and then he leaves.
JCW Women’s Title Tag Match: Katie Forbes Guest Referee: Big Al (c) & Dani Mo vs J-Rod & Nyla Rose
Oh, this is where Nyla is now. I haven’t heard her name in so long I thought she died.
J-Rod and Al start, a few strikes exchanged, Saito Suplex from Big Al and then an Air Raid Crash, for a near fall. Al tags in Dani, a delayed splash and another near fall. Dani keeps J-Rod in the corner with some kicks, a Snapmare to send her out, and then a few more kicks and lariats. Big Al asks for a tag, Dani says no, but when Dani gets close enough Al tags herself in and it gives J-Rod time tag out to Nyla.
Nyla lands one corner Splash, Al moves from the second, but Nyla just grabs Al and tosses her across the ring. Dani tags herself in, flies at Nyla and gets caught and slammed down. Nyla walks Dani to the heel corner, tags out to J-Rod and corner Shoulder Thrusts, quick tags are leaving Dani isolated and eating punishment. The heels are working together better than the tumultuous babyfaces. GAHD Damn J-Rod is gorgeous. Sorry it’s 5:30 in the morning and I haven’t slept. I’m distracted and my filter is slipping.
Quick tags continue, Nyla is now in but Dani manages to fight back. Crescent Kick from Dani, Code Red and…only a two count! Dani wants the Moonmist Twist, Nyla stops it, drops Dani and tags out to the Gorgeous Gladiator. Dani eats Snake Eyes and then a Big Boot but only two again. Corner Hip Attacks, J-Rod walks Dani out of the corner with her draped over her shoulders, Samoan Drop. Big Al breaks up the pinfall, Katie admonishes Big Al so Nyla walks in Double Chokeslam while the referee isn’t looking. J-Rod pins Dani…1-2-3! Alice expected Dani to kick out and the fact she didn’t, Al is frustrated.
I’m a big fan of J-Rod, Alice and Dani, but some of the spots were awkward and that finish fell flatter than a pancake.
Good Brothers & KENTA vs RVD w/Bill Alfonso, Willie Mack & 2 Tuff Tony
RVD walking down about to ask KENTA to pick a hand. Between Tony and RVD…god damn these entrances are taking forever.
Karl and Tony are gonna start, but he holds up a finger to grab his bottle of…Kettle One…or whatever that is. He polishes the bottle off and then ties up finally! Tony shoots off the ropes, eats a Shoulder Tackle so Karl tags in Gallows because of a the size discrepancy. Tony takes another swig from his bottle, and I get the liquid courage gimmick, but Tony is old, slow and wrestles like shit. Can we just get him out to someone who can go?
Thank Christ, Tony tags in Willie and now we might see some wrestling. Willie wants to test power, they run into each other a few times and no one gives. Gallows tries to Lariat Willie, Willie ducks and hits Gallows with the Gamengiri. Gallows tags out, KENTA points at RVD, and we get Rob Van Dam versus KENTA.
KENTA acts like they’re about to tie up, ducks it and goes to his corner chuckling. Rob lands a punch, KENTA is bleeding, RVD wants Rolling Thunder but Karl drags him out. Now is a shitty brawl but KENTA looks a bit out of it. The vibe seems like Rob connected with KENTA and hard wayed him. Willie hits a Stunner, KENTA with the Busaiku, RVD with a kick, RVD hits the Van Daminator on Gallows. Tony hits the Meteorite on Gallows, RVD goes up, 5 Star Frog Splash, RVD wins!
This was a pile of shit. RVD breaks KENTA’s nose on the second real move of this slog, they do something stupid for a few minutes before someone just said go to the finish.
4 Way Elimination: JCW Lunacy World Championship: EC3 Special Guest Referee: Cokane (c) vs Nic Nemeth vs Caleb Konley vs Matt Riddle
Can this match be decent? Please? Like give me one. Nemeth comes out in Juggalo paint.
Caleb mouths off a little, everyone gangs up and chucks him out. Riddle starts throwing Knees, Cokane rolls through the turnbuckle, Rebound Big Boot, but a big Lariat miss and Riddle hits a few Gutwrench Suplexes, Senton, and works over Cokane. Caleb runs in, dispatches Riddle, tries to keep Cokane on the back foot but a Blue Thunder Bomb stops Caleb. Cokane pulls out straws and wants to use them like the MASADA Skewer spot, but Caleb fights him off. A little more jockying for position, Cokane tries his rope walk, but Caleb trips him up, Cokane crashes and Caleb kicks Cokane to the outside. Nemeth comes in hot, Splash, Rude Awakening, FameASSer for two!
Cokane wants a Cokeslam, Super Kick says no, Riddle hits a Cutter, wants a Tombstone, but no. Caleb hits a Low Blow on Nemeth, Burning Hammer, and Caleb eliminated Nic Nemeth first. Riddle hits an Exploder, Senton, PK, but Cokane comes in, Drop Step, Wrist Control, Rip Cord Knee, Fisherman Buster and Riddle is rolling. Floating Bro on both men and Riddle looks like the favorite at this point. Tombstone locomotion, Riddle hits a Gotch variation of the Brostone. Another Low Blow on Riddle from Caleb, another Burning Hammer, and Riddle is gone.
Caleb runs Cokane into the corners, Chop exchanges between the remaining two guys turns into punches. Backfist from Caleb, and then a Superkick, Caleb wants the Shotei, but hits EC3 accidentally. Cokeslam gets countered. Cokane gets thrown into the ropes, he’s wiley like a crackhead, eventually we get a Lethal Injection. Cokane goes for his cocaine, but Steven Flowe shows up again to play DARE officer and say no to drugs. LOW BLOW from Caleb! Burning Hammer number three! EC3 stops his count at two. EC…can’t count to three.
Ethan is putting his foot down with all the Low Blows. Cokane sits up, finds more cocaine, COKESLAM! 1-2-3! Tony Khan must’ve given Cokane the back up stash. Good call.
While Cokane retaining isn’t a bad idea…EC3 makes a cocaine angel in the middle of the ring afterwards, is funny. These matches have all been either garbage or depressing.
Vampiro’s Retirement Match: Vampiro vs PCO vs Big Vito
Vamp walks out with J and Shaggy, gives Dark Carnival WCW flashbacks. Vampiro cuts a promo at the beginning of the match about the first time he met ICP in WCW. Let’s assume it’s a real retirement, he deserves a moment to wax poetic before the match. He then goes around the horn with a comment about PCO and Vito as well. But again, it’s okay, its a retirement angle. Vamp’s little comedic way he cuts a promo while still being poignant and cool, helps land the show. Now lets hope the match isn’t garbage.
PCO and Vamp are throwing chops while Vito doesn’t mind not being hit. Vito tries to hit the ropes and Double Lariat, but they level Vito and keep slugging. PCO rocks Vamp, Splashes him in the corner and then Kicks Vito in the stomach and throw him out. Vamp bounces PCO’s face off the post, Vito goes after Vamp, they fight into the crowd and Vito rocks Vamp, Vamp hits a random dude in the crowd, and the guy seems like a good sport. PCO returns to the brawl going after both guys, but Vito turns things around on PCO and fights Vamp back to the ring.
Vamp is flipping people off, absorbing the hits just to talk shit to the crowd and his opponents. It’s obvious that Vampiro is enjoying himself. Vito calls Violent J into the ring since the Dark Carnival stuck around for support. Vito kicks J, starts throwing down Forearms and then Shane Mercer slides in, the Mercer-Nary. Shane wraps his fist in a chain, Vito holds J, J ducks, Shane levels Vito. J and Shaggy gang up on Shane to take him out, now PCO starts beating on Vito. Fist to the head, Leg Drop, and Vampiro is content watching for a little bit. Vamp breaks the next pinfall attempt, goes for his own but Vito kicks out and Vito goes for a Crossface. PCO’s foot comes down to break up the submission, then his stomps on Vampiro, Vito tries to sneak a cover but not yet.
French Canadian Frankenstein with a few Forearm Shots and a short Lariat to send Vito to the ground. PCO lays strikes into PCO, but Vito shoves PCO out of the way to kick Vampiro himself. Two more instances of Vito shoving PCO away, and PCO is allowing it, but after the third shove, PCO catches Vito in a Chokeslam. Spinning Back Kick by Vamp on PCO, Nail in the Coffin! The Driver looked bad, the finish was odd, but Vamp is nearly 60 and battling Alzheimer’s. I’m not mad. Vampiro wins his retirement match!
Overall Score: 4.5/10
Well Spring Break started late and went long, so Strangle-Mania started like 66 minutes late. So I sit here, past 7am Eastern…and it’s not for Wrestle Kingdom…weird times man. But yeah, wrestling content, this was garbage. Anything that had a chance to be cool was either marred with short cuts or cut short because of an errant punch. Now I will say, a card with the Rock N’ Roll Express, George South, KENTA, RVD, Nic Nemeth, Nyla Rose and professional Zombie wrestlers…was not on my BINGO card this year. So there’s aspects of this show that were fun, the commentary booth was unhinged, J-Rod winning the title is the correct decision. She’s gorgeous, great physique, solid wrestler and going to be on the new American Gladiators, so it’s free publicity baby. The Kerry Morton match was also completely inane, but wonderfully so. There is a soft spot in my heart for Self Aware Comedic Hardcore.
Vampiro’s retirement was nice, sentimental, and a feel good moment since Vito ate the pin.
Like I said, there was no real wrestling to be extrapolated from this show, but there was some entertainment. I’m not gonna rate the show highly because the matches were almost all bad or barely passable. But being a little delirious from being up for like 32 hours with no sleep…I didn’t fall asleep. So at least the show wasn’t boring.
Maybe I’ll start covering Lunacy on Fridays (I cover TNA that’s also on Thursday, so JCW will have to take the tape delay backseat). But yeah, Cokane retaining, Steven Flowe going full heel and stealing the Ring Rat with Caleb Konley getting screwed by EC3. There’s some interesting possibilities for the weekly show.
