PLAY BY PLAY
Rhea Ripley is here!
Austin, Texas fires up because Mami’s headed to the ring! Rhea has a smile as she steps into the ring, and she revels in the cheers of the crowd. She then gets a mic to say she’s had a lot of time to think about exactly what happened at SummerSlam. The fans boo, knowing what happened. Rhea says she has relived it over and over, every single day since, and has felt every single emotional you could feel in a situation like this. She has felt embarrassed, felt heartbroken, but right now, she is feeling… pissed the hell off! The fans cheer in agreement!
Rhea tells Dominik Mysterio, who the fans boo, that he stabbed her in the back. And this is probably something Dom’s heard before, but it just wasn’t deep enough. And then there’s Liv Morgan. Liv ran away with Rhea’s title, but she can’t run forever. This is Rhea Bloody Ripley, and it is time to remind everyone just who the hell she is! But wait, Liv is laughing from somewhere. We look up to see Liv and Dom at the very top of the bleachers. Liv says hi to Rhea, but fans boo her and Dom. Liv thinks Daddy Dom has something he’d like to say. The fans boo already and Liv covers Dom’s ears so he can’t hear it.
Dom tells Rhea, “Do you know why I left you for Liv?” Rhea tells everyone to calm down, she loves all this, but she does want to know what he has to say, because she also loves hearing excuses. Dom starts again but the fans boo harder. Dom says he dumped Rhea for Liv because he is a MAN, and he deserves to be treated as one! The fans chant “YOU SUCK!” at Dom. Dom says Rhea tried to change him instead of letting him be himself! does she know how embarrassing it was for her to be bossing him around? For him, a grown man, to be calling Rhea “Mami?” Now he has a girl who calls him, “Daddy!” Rhea wants to barf.
Liv gets him chicken tendies whenever he wants! She lets him play video games all he wants! And she lets him be himself! And she did something for Dom that Rhea could never do! Finally helping him beat his “deadbeat dad,” Rey Mysterio! Rhea says y’know what? She’ll say something that he hasn’t heard in a long, long time. “I’m proud of you.” She’s proud of everything Dom has done the last couple of years. Watching him grow into the man he is today is one of Rhea’s biggest accomplishments. In fact, Dom finally did something for himself, and he won gold! They did so much together.
But the one thing is, when it comes to Dom’s dad, Rhea really wanted Dom to figure out how to do that on his own, so that there’d be no asterisks. If Dom’s gonna act like a man, Rhea would be proud of him. The problem is, that’s the last decision he’s ever gonna make. Liv says oh please! There’s only one thing Rhea’s said that is true: Dom is a MAN, and he is all Liv’s~! Just look at Rhea! She quite literally has NOTHING. No family, they’re all in Australia, and the family she had in Judgment Day was taken by Liv! They’re Liv’s now! Dom is Liv’s. The title is Liv’s! The fans chant “SLOPPY SECONDS!” at Liv. Liv says she’d take that all day every day.
And this DIVISION is Liv’s! Everything Rhea loved is hers! Rhea laughs and asks if Liv is done. Please shut the help up. Liv thinks she’s taken everything? No. She took a lot of things. A lot of the weak links. But what Liv did wrong was leave Rhea standing. And as long as Rhea is standing, she’ll keep coming after Liv! You’re gonna have to KILL Rhea to stop her! And it is quite flattering that Liv loves the sound of her own voice. Because now we know where you are. W-We? DAMIAN PRIEST steps up behind Dom! Dom turns around, and freaks out! Priest THRWOS Dom into the wall, Liv runs down the steps!
The fans fire up as Liv finds herself trapped! Priest meanwhile beats up on Dom in the bar section of the arena! Liv jumps onto Priest! Dom still DECKS Dom! Rhea is here and she cashes Liv outta the building! Priest ROCKS Dom, and they head down the bleachers! The fans are thunderous as Priest keeps hitting Dom to keep him moving! They end up on the ground level, then he CLOBBERS Dom to ringside! Priest puts Dom in the ring, Dom begs for mercy, but Priest drags him up! Dom hits Priest, so now Priest is pissed. Choke grip, but CARLITO attacks! Carlito whips, Priest reverses and ELOBOWS Carlito down!

The fans boo as those two run away to rejoin the others. When and where will Rhea get her hands on Liv?
The still technically Alpha Academy warms up backstage.
They’re getting ready for that Texas Tornado Tag match, but in steps Ivy Nile. She wants to talk with Maxxine, so they go off to the side. Ivy doesn’t think Maxxine should be out there. The boys are going through a lot, they all just need to hash this out. Maxxine says she can’t just abandon Otis & Tozawa, they’re her family. Ivy says she’ll talk with Chad Gable. Maybe Maxxine can join the group. No, Maxxine is sticking with her boys. Ivy had a feeling she’d say that. The Diamond Pitbull lets Maxxine stick with Otis & Tozawa, but will Ivy ever see things their way?
Bo Dallas speaks.
“Everything is coming full circle. It’s been heavy lately. A lot of emotions. Especially last week in Baltimore. That’s where it all started. The Wyatt Sick6 had their debut where it all began. He was there. Something’s happening, man. Something big. The work isn’t done.” The TV screen turns on, and there’s a message. “The work must continue. Other doors shall be opened.” Bo says, “My life for you. My life for you. My life… for you! My life for you!” Uncle Howdy says back, “There you are…” What work are the Wyatts carrying on? And who will step through those “other doors?”
Xavier Woods finds Kofi Kingston and Odyssey Jones hanging out.
Kofi cheers Jones on as he “gets that pump on,” and Woods says what’s up. He wanted to talk about tonight. Kofi does, too! After Jones had their back last week, tonight, they can return the favor! Jones’ in-ring debut, babyyy~! Woods likes that, and Kofi says they can be ringside! They head out, and despite that smile, Woods seems unsure. Will the New Day be stronger than ever? Or is Karrion Kross going to be right after all?
Odyssey Jones w/ The New Day VS Vincent Winey!
Raw returns and it’s time to #SoundTheAlarm! Is this going to be the beginning of Jones’ Odyssey? Or will the NXT prospect return to Orlando with a W?
The bell ring sand Winey rushes Jones! Winey fires off hands in the corner, but lets off as the ref counts. Jones snarls as he rises back up. Winey runs back up, but is sent into buckles! Jones SPLASHES then TOSSES Winey! New Day cheers, and Jones runs up to LARIAT Winey in the corner! And LARIAT again, and again, and again! The fans count along, Jones goes all the way to TEN!

Jones keeps moving, he SPLASHES in the corner! Jones scoops Winey, but Winey slips free and kicks the legs! Winey runs, but into a BLACK HOLE SLAM! Cover, Jones wins!
Winner: Odyssey Jones, by pinfall
Winey ran into “Journey’s End” and Jones’ debut is victorious! Kofi is all hyped up, Woods is a little less so, but here comes The Final Testament! The fans boo as Karrion Kross shouts, “Timeout! Timeout! Is this another day for The New Day? I mean, really. Or is this another day of more lies and misdirection? Because at first glance, we can clearly see Kofi Kingston is using Odyssey Jones to replace Big E.” The fans boo that implication! Kross wants Austin, Texas to show him some respect! And no, Woods, you surely see the truth. The truth is, Kofi is going to use Odyssey to replace Woods!
The fans chant, “NEW! DAY ROCKS! NEW! DAY ROCKS!” Woods gets a mic to tell Kross, “Are you not tired of this? Are yo not tired coming out here, week after week after week, doing your absolute best to drive a wedge between us? It’s not gonna work!” So let’s just fast-forward to the part where we find out who steps up! Kofi has a bigger and better idea! A tag match just means the odd one out gets involved, so let’s get EVERYONE involved! SIX MAN TAG! The fans like that idea! Kofi says Final Testament VS ya bois, the NEW~ DAY~ and… Odyssey Jones! What does Kross say?
Kross says the devil’s work is never done, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! Then there it is! New Day VS The Final Testicle- Testament! Why? BECAAAAAUSE~! NEW! DAY ROCKS! NEW! DAY ROCKS! Kross and The Authors of Pain are not bothered, are they still going to write that Final Chapter for The New Day?
Adam Pearce is on the phone.
He wants to talk with “both of them” and make it official by the end of tonight. He thanks whoever this is, then is visited by Drew McIntyre. Well, look at the time, Pearce doesn’t have time for this. CM Punk didn’t make it tonight, he had travel issues, and frankly, there isn’t anything Pearce can do to help Drew. Drew says that hurts. He isn’t a man that cares about Punk at all. Punk is the past, Drew is looking to the future. Drew would like to know why Randy Orton, a SmackDown superstar, is getting a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. Pearce says Drew and everyone knows why.
Oh, right, Orton got “screwed.” But then he did nothing but sat there. People started to wonder what’s going on, and then Orton became Cody Rhodes’ bodyguard. But Drew knows Orton, Orton is a snake in the grass. And he thinks he can strike on Drew’s turf just cuz he got screwed the one time? Drew has been screwed time and time again. But y’know what? He’s wasting his breath. Drew will do Pearce a solid and take care of it. No, no, the last time someone said they were gonna do something, Bronson Reed destroyed Seth Rollins. Drew isn’t Bronson. Trust the veteran! He’ll be on his best behavior. Scouts honor.
Drew leaves, Pearce needs a drink. Was the Scottish Terminator ever a scout? And will he still “take care of it” in his own brutal fashion?
Texas Tornado Tag: Otis & Akira Tozawa w/ Maxxine Dupri VS The Creed Brothers!
The Alpha Academy is looking to finally settle things with Master Gable’s new teammates under American Made, and they’re going to do it the Lone Star way! Will the Dozer and the Stamina Monster prove they don’t need Gable anymore? Or will Julius & Brutus prove that Gable should’ve been with them all along?
Raw returns and Team American Made makes their entrance. But Gable’s video message reveals he is in Paris, France! Gable claims he just needed to get away and experience some “culture.” Especially after all the running away from The Wyatt Sick6. He is a man of intellect! But he also watched The Olympics, did some recruiting, and realized he needs to get back home to take care of business. In the end, Gable always has been and always will be #AmericanMade.
Back to the ring, the bell rings and the brawl is on! Otis throws hands on Julius while Brutus SMASHES Tozawa down! Otis LARIATS Julius up and out, then he CLUBS Brutus! Otis hoists Brutus up for a BIG back suplex! The fans fire up, Tozawa DIVES onto Julius, but Julius catches him to OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Julius kips up, but Otis fires hands on Brutus! Julius slide sin to CHOP BLOCK! The Creeds mug Otis, the fans boo, but the mugging continues in a corner. The Creeds fire forearms and knees, but the fans rally for Otis. The Creeds drag Otis back up, and whip corner to corner hard! Otis hits buckles then falls to the mat!
The Creeds step on Otis for a cocky cover, TWO! Julius drags Otis up so Brutus can ROCK him! The mugging continues in a corner, then Julius climbs up to rain down fists! The fans chant “YOU SUCK!” but Brutus & Julius stomp away. Tozawa drags himself up slowly, and Otis SHOVES the Creeds away! Tozawa climbs up to DOUBLE CROSSBODY! The Creeds fall, and Tozawa says use him! Otis fireman’s carries Tozawa, to CLOBBER Julius, then CLOBBER Brutus! Air Plan Spin CLOBBERING for Brutus! The fans fire up and Tozawa wants to get going, but Otis says hold on. Otis lifts Tozawa to THROW him onto the Creeds!
The fans fire up as The Creeds fall and Otis takes a bow! Tozawa joins Otis in the ring so the Academy can stand tall, and Austin cheers as Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and while Tozawa is in the ring, the Creeds mug Otis outside! Otis RAMS Brutus into the apron but Julius ROCKS Otis! Then POSTS him! Tozawa hurries out there but the Creeds start clearing the desk. Julius drags Otis up, Brutus helps him, and they bring Otis to the desk, only for Tozawa to CANNONBALL! Julius catches him!? And BARRIER BOMBS him!! Tozawa is down on the ground, Otis is on the desk! Julius puts Tozawa in, covers, TWO! The fans fire up as Tozawa stays in this for the Academy, but The Creeds haul him up. They double whip, then DOUBLE- DDT!! Tozawa turns things around on The Creeds!
The fans fire up and Maxxine says she loves Tozawa! Then Otis rises up! The fans are thunderous as Otis storms in! Those hips are moving! Otis runs through the lariats to DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE! Otis CLBOBERS Julius, CLOBBERS Brutus, then dodges Julius to CLOBBER him! SPLASH on Brutus in a corner! Brutus slumps down but Julius CROSSBODIES! But into a OWRLD’S STRONGEST SLAM! Otis rips off the shirt, and he starts up the CATERPILLAR~! ELBOW! Cover, Brutus breaks it! Brutus swings, Otis counter punches! And short arm LARIATS! The fans fire up as Otis drags Brutus up to fireman’s carry.
Julius JUMP KNEEDS Otis down! Brutus STANDING MOONSAULTS! Julius STANDING SHOOTING STARS! Cover, Tozawa breaks it! The fans fire up again but Brutus SMASHES Tozawa! The fans boo but The Creeds haul Tozawa up. Brutus has Tozawa way up, but Tozawa SUPER STEINERS! Then he KICKS, spins, slides under and SPIN KICKS Julius! The fans are thunderous as The Creeds bail out! Tozawa DIVES! Not the cleanest but he still hits Julius! Tozawa puts Julius in, and he goes up the corner! Austin fires up, but Brutus CLUBS Tozawa! Otis stands to CLUB Brutus! Julius CLUBS Otis! Julius Electric Chair Lifts Otis!?
The fans are losing their minds already as Brutus stands! But Otis grabs Brutus! SUPERPLEX CHAIR DROP COMBO!! And Tozawa stands! SUPER SENTON onto Julius!! All four men are down and Maxxine is all fired up! Austin is losing their minds all over again, and the teams regroup. Julius has as bloody cut on his hand, and Otis shouts to Tozawa! It’s TIME! But then IVY NILE ATTACKS MAXXINE!?! Ivy SMACKS Maxxine off the desk, then FLAPJACKS her onto it! Maxxine chose The Academy, so Ivy is making her pay! DIAMOND DRAGON SLEEPER!! Otis asks what Ivy’s doing but she’s tortuting Maxxine!
Julius CLOBBERS Otis! Tozawa waistlocks Julius but Brutus rolls Tozawa up! Julius adds on, double cover! THE CREEDS WIN!
Winners: The Creed Brothers, by pinfall
The tiny titan stands with her boys, and the fans chant “YOU SUCK!” Is Gable going to bring out the very best, and very worst, of this Diamond Mine?
Jackie Redmond has a sit-down interview with Pete Dunne.
It was before the show, in the empty stands, where Jackie met with The Bruiserweight. She gets to it: Obviously he has been at odds with Sheamus recently, leaving many fans confused. When Dunne came up from NXT, Sheamus took Dunne under his wing. Dunne says c’mon. He was never under Sheamus’ wing, and Sheamus never elevated Dunne. Sheamus held Dunne under his thumb, and Dunne elevated Sheamus. Dunne gave Sheamus the run of his lifetime, but what did that Dunne? A terrible nickname and a front row seat to The Sheamus Show.
So Dunne asks back: If Sheamus was really about the boys, what happened to Ridge? Jackie says Dunne clearly has resentment for how things ended in The Brawling Brutes and that nickname, “Butch.” Dunne tells her not to even say that name. NEVER say that name again. For two years, Dunne had to swallow his pride and let Sheamus “little brother” him. Dunne is NOT Butch, he’s the Bruiserweight! He’s an 18 YEAR veteran of wrestling. If Dunne has to shut Sheamus up so he never, ever hears that name again, then that’s what he’ll do.
Jackie appreciates the honesty in this. She thanks him for his time, but will Dunne make sure it’s his time now? Or will The Fella have something to say about that?
Adam Pearce talks with Bronson Reed in his office.
Despite the very well done recap package, Pearce tells the Colossal Aussie that none of this is good. Seth Rollins is out for who knows how long with cracked ribs and internal bruising. Bronson’s lucky all he got was fined. Bronson tells Pearce that Pearce didn’t give him opportunities, so he had to make one on his own. Pearce doesn’t wanna hear that. But Bronson warned Pearce he’d make an impact. So what better way than to demolish everyone’s favorite, Seth Freakin’ Rollins? But hey, he’ll give Pearce a second chance. Go find Bronson someone tonight, or… Bronson will go find his “next victim.”
Bronson smirks and leaves things up to Pearce. What is Pearce to do about these dangerous men on his roster?
Damage CTRL speaks.
In Japanese, Iyo Sky says, “It seems as if everybody forgot who DMG CTRL is. DMG CTRL changed this business! DMG CTRL controls the future! Even now, though we’ve been cut in half, DMG CTRL is still the most dominant force int he history of the WWE Women’s Division! Tonight, we remind the world and take another step to regaining the Women’s Tag Team Titles!” Kairi Sane tells Sonya, Shayna & Zoey, “You seem to be confused, so let us make it simple. The only way you challenge us is when you attack us from behind. What you did to Dakota WILL be repaid tenfold. You took something from us. For that, we’re going to take something from you. We’re going to take away your dreams.”
Iyo adds that rest assured, so long as DMG CTRL runs Raw, Sonya’s team will NEVER achieve DMG CTRL’s glory.
Sonya’s side responds.
“We want to make one thing perfectly clear: DMG CTRL is done. And there’s a new era. The Pure Fusion Collective. We are going to destroy one by one, like we already have. First, taking out Zelina Vega. Second, destroying Katana Chance. And third, leaving Dakota Kai sitting at home a broken mess. So you have once choice: Sit down, show us some damn respect, and get ready.” Shayna Baszler says they should already BE Women’s Tag Team Champions again. Shayna made Jade Cargill tap at Clash at the Castle, and the whole world saw it. But that’s okay. They ripped through the division once, and they’ll rip through the division again, limb by limb.
Zoey says after tonight, they will be THE most dominant force in the WWE Women’s Division. Wanna step up? Then shoot your shot.
Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn are here!
The Unholy Union has heard all this talk and wants to watch in person! Who will come out of this ready to face them for the titles? We see, after the break.
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships #1 Contenders Match: Iyo Sky & Kairi Sane VS Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark w/ Sonya Deville!
Raw returns and DMG CTRL makes their entrance, followed by the newly named Pure Fusion Collective. The teams sort out and Evil Genius starts against Submission Magician. They rush in, Shayna gets around and ripcords, but Iyo ducks ‘n’ dodges then handsprings! Shayna avoids that but Iyo tilt-o-whirls to RANA! The fans fire up as Iyo tags Kairi. They whip Shayna, then drop, redirect, and confuse Shayna a bit to CHOP, dropkick, and then DOUBLE DROPKICK! The fans fire up but Sonya protests. Kairi has Shayna in a corner, goes corner to corner, and SLIDING D! Shayna sputters, Kairi climbs up, and the fans cheer!
Kairi leaps, FLYING KABUKI ELBOW! Cover, TWO! Shayna scrambles away to the outside, where Isla & Alba sit. They mock Shayna, and Kairi goes out to whip. Shayna reverses to put Kairi in first, then she ROCKS Kairi! Tag to Zoey and Shayna hauls Kairi up. BACKBREAKER and LARIAT! Zoey says that’s a homerun for sure. Alba & Isla don’t think so, but The Hunter says those belts are coming back home while Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and Kairi fights up out of a chinlock, and she RAMS Shayna into buckles. Shayna crawls away, comes back, but Kairi dodges! Shayna hits buckles, but she hurries to intercept Kairi! Shayna suplexes, Kairi DDT counters! The fans fire up while both women crawl! Kairi and Shayna reach out, hot tags to Zoey and Iyo! The former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions meet, and Iyo rallies on Zoey with SHOTEI after SHOTEI! Then a DROPKICK! Zoey staggers up, Iyo whips, but Zoey reverses. Iyo holds ropes, then baits Zoey in. Iyo slips out to the apron, ROCKS Zoey then GAMANGIRIS!
Shayna runs up but gets a HOTSHOT! Iyo then springboards to MISSILE DROPKICK them both! The fans fire up as Iyo kips up! Iyo gets the fans even louder, and then she starts up the SHINKANSEN! Cover, TWO! Zoey survives the Bullet Train but the fans rally for Iyo. Iyo underhooks, but Zoey fights the lift! Zoey wrenches out, waistlocks, and GERMAN SUPLEXES! Tag to Shayna, and Zoey hauls Iyo up for a fireman’s carry. Shayna KNEES Iyo, keeps moving, and Zoey ROLLING DEATH VALLEY DRIVERS, so that Shayna can SLIDING KICK! High stack, but Kairi breaks it! The fans fire up, and Kairi TOSSES Zoey out!
Zoey is on the apron, Kairi runs up but Zoey DUMPS her out! Zoey tags in, but Iyo RAMS Shayna! Iyo dodges Zoey, reels her back in, and TIGER BACKBREAKER!! Iyo steps on Zoey, goes up and up and yet Sonya gets on the apron! Shayna SHOVES Iyo down, but Kairi YANKS Shayna down! URAKEN for Shayna! Zoey SUPERKICKS Kairi! Iyo SHOTGUNS Zoey down! Alba & Isla are very entertained, but then Zoey shoves Iyo onto Alba. Iyo moves, so the SUPERKICK hits Alba! Isla is stunned, Zoey smirks, but Iyo SHOTEIS! Iyo puts Zoey in, steps on her on the way to the corner, and she goes OVER THE MOONSAULT!! Cover, ISLA ATTACKS!!
No Contest
The fans boo as the Unholy Union beats up on everyone! They POST Iyo, then GOURD BUSTER Shayna! Isla KNEES Shayna down, Alba BOOTS Sonya! Then a BOOT for Kairi! BACKSTABBER and SWANTON for the Pirate Princess! This match gets thrown out, no contenders from the Raw side, will this only make things easier for a team from SmackDown? Or does it not matter when messing with wicked witches like these two?
The Miz sulks.
R-Truth walks over and asks what’s up. He hates seeing Miz like this. Is this because Miz didn’t have a match in his hometown of Cleveland for SummerSlam? Or because they lost to “The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express” last week? Miz says it was A-Town Down Under. Wow, them, too? Truth will cheer Miz up, though. He talked with Pearce, and Miz has a title match! Intercontinental Championship match against Bron! Bron Breakker? Yeah! Wait, doesn’t he have a match against Sami Zayn tonight? Truth didn’t know about that. But look! The graphic is up! Miz sees it, and he tells Truth that’s not Bron Breakker, that’s Bronson Reed!
Oh… The guy who killed Seth? YES! Oops. Randy Orton walks over and asks what’s wrong. Truth says Miz has a match with Bronson Reed tonight. Wow, isn’t that the guy who killed Seth last week? YES! Oh… Well, Miz is awesome! One of the most decorated WWE superstars of all time! ALL TIME! A Grand Slam Champion, twice, and Miz main evented WrestleMania against John Cena and won. Miz has this! Randy really thinks so? He knows so! Miz has got this! Miz fires up, hurries off to get ready, and Truth asks if Randy really thinks Miz stands a chance. Orton says nope, not at all. Oh…
The Viper heads out on his own, what will he have to say about his World Heavyweight Championship match with Gunther? We’ll find out, after the break.
Randy Orton heads to the ring!
Austin, Texas fires up as The Viper makes his way out, and they even sing along with Voices. Orton of course does his signature pose on the corner, which the fans love to see. The fans then cheer on “RANDY! RANDY!” as he gets the mic. Orton asks them, “How you doin’, Austin, Texas?” The fans cheer, and Orton says here’s a little history. Twenty YEARS ago, this month, Orton won the world title for the very first time. Orton became the youngest world champion in history on that night 20 years ago. And in a few short weeks, Bash In Berlin will see history again as Orton becomes a FIFTEEN-TIME world champion!
The fans cheer for that idea, and Orton wants to continue, but he is interrupted by THE World Heavyweight Champion, Gunther! Der Ring General, the King of the Ring, struts his way down to the ring, then steps in to get himself a mic. Fans chant “R K O! R K O!” but Orton says, “Ladies and gentlemen, take a picture. Remember this moment in time, remember the atmosphere. Because in a few short weeks, I’m gonna beat this guy, and then his Friday nights aren’t gonna be free anymore, and Monday Night Raw is gonna be my new home.”
Gunther says Orton is right, the fans should take a picture to memorize this moment. This is Randy Orton! One of the greatest of all time! The fans again chant “R K O! R K O!” Gunther says let’s be honest. Instead of that, Orton should be THE greatest of all time. The most natural and physically gifted talent this industry has ever seen! Unlimited potential! And Orton took all of that… and wasted it. Gunther tells Orton to look at him so he can understand: this is a NEW era! This is Der Ring General’s Era! The fans boo, but Gunther says in his era, there is no room for anyone who wastes their potential.
In the future of this era, Orton will not play a role. Orton stops Gunther there. Orton never claimed to be perfect. He has made mistakes. He made a lot of them, really. He’s made more mistakes than just about everybody else in that locker room. But here’s the thing: Orton owned up to his mistakes. Orton changed course. Maybe Gunther forgot who he is talking to. Let Orton remind Gunther just who he’s talking to. This is Randall Keith Orton, the most unpredictable, most violent, most controversial YET successful WWE superstar in the history of the game! Fans fire up for that!
So Gunther wants to say this is a curse? No, you’ve got it all wrong. Orton looks at that as a gift. Now, Gunther can have his opinion, but Orton’s done it his way the entire time. And he’ll always do it his way. The American way! Orton has five beautiful kids, a hot as hell wife, and the cherry on top is that he is a soon to be 15-time WWE World Champion! So again, Orton appreciates the opinion, but he thinks he’s done pretty damn good for himself. The fans cheer that, but Gunther just smirks. That is all good, Randy, but Gunther got stuck on that “unpredictable” part. Gunther thinks it is the other way now. Orton seems very predictable.
So here’s a prediction from Gunther. First: Gunther will give Orton the beathing of his life in Berlin. Second: Because of that beating, Orton will never be World Heavyweight Champion again. And if anyone wonders why Gunther’s so sure, let’s be honest. When it really, really matters, Orton finds a way to screw it up. No, listen to him. Gunther doesn’t wanna throw this like an insult, because it just comes naturally to Orton. Orton’s grandfather was a screw-up. Orton’s father was a screw-up. And Orton himself is the biggest screw-up of them all! The fans tell Orton to do it, “R K O! R K O!” Orton stares Gunther down, but here comes Drew McIntyre!
The fans are torn as The Scottish Terminator makes his way out, mic in hand. The fans chant “C M PUNK!” at McIntyre, Gunther gets distracted, and an RKO OUTTA NOWHERE!! McIntyre throws his shirt off, but PUNK IS HERE?! Punk attacks from the crowd side and fires hands! But McIntyre HEADBUTTS Punk down! McIntyre takes off his leather belt and winds up! But Punk dodges the lashing to fire off more hands! Punk wants the bracelet but he has to kick low! Punk has the belt to LASH McIntyre! And LASH him again! They go into the ring, Punk CLOBBERS McIntyre! McIntyre sputters, but Punk LASHES him again and again!
McIntyre bails out but Punk pursues! Punk LASHES McIntyre into the crowd and McIntyre runs away! The fans fire up with Punk as he holds up McIntyre’s belt! Will Punk make sure there’s more where that came from?
Backstage interview with Sheamus.
Jackie Redmond is now with The Celtic Warrior and hopes to get his reaction from Dunne’s words earlier. Dunne has a lot of resentment towards Sheamus over the Brawling Brutes and the nickname, “Butch.” Sheamus says yeah, he can understand a lot of mysteries: how the Pyramids were built; if aliens exist; Bigfoot’s name and address. But the one thing Sheamus can’t figure out is why Dunne has this beef. All Sheamus tried to do was raise that angry little Englishman up, and yet Dunne blames Sheamus for Dunne falling off the radar? Sheamus was out six months in traction, not knowing if he was ever coming back, and Dunne’s mad at him?
The ironic thing is, Dunne is making himself relevant again off Sheamus’ name. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. But then Ludwig Kaiser calms walking in. He put Sheamus through a banger, right? Well, then don’t make the mistake of thinking this is over. Because it’s not. It is far from it. Kaiser vowed to put an end to The Celtic Warrior, got it? Sheamus does. He gets that the Brogue to Kaiser’s skull must’ve damaged his brain. But if Kaiser wants to go again- DUNNE ATTACKS! And with a shillelagh again! Dunne beats down Sheamus while Kaiser watches. Kaiser lets Dunne do it for him, but security rushes in!
Dunne is pulled back, and Sheamus drags himself up with the road case. But Dunne CLUBS Sheamus’ hand!! The Fella’s fingers might’ve just been broken! Will Sheamus have his metaphorical hands full with all these thundercats gunning for him? Or is 15 years in the WWE going to be his limit?
Backstage interview with CM Punk.
Cathy Kelley catches up with The Best in the World to bring up that the word was, he wasn’t here because of travel issues. And yet, Cathy is pretty sure they were on the same flight together, and she experience no delays. He admits Cathy isn’t wrong. Punk was on that plane, sat near her, but he simply used a little white lie to lure McIntyre into a false sense of security. McIntyre run away from Punk, and he could give the Olympics Track & Field stars a run for their money. But hey, Punk lied just to get his hands on McIntyre. McIntyre still has the bracelet that has the names Punk’s wife and dog on it.
And it isn’t about the bracelet. McIntyre can keep it, really. But it’s the context. It’s the names that are on the bracelet that matter. McIntyre is to keep the name of Punk’s wife out of his mouth, and he is not to speak Larry’s name without consequences. Punk is glad he came to Austin. He’s flown farther to put a beating on McIntyre. We saw Punk go to Glasgow just to do that. This won’t stop until Punk gets his hands on McIntyre. McIntyre might call Punk a hypocrite for lying and showing up when least expected, but this is a man who claims he can’t stand Punk yet stays attached to him. McIntyre has the bracelet, yet runs from a fight that he started!
Punk is glad he’s here, because he just figured out a way to make everybody happy. Punk holds up the leather belt, and Texas should know what this means. Will we all have to strap in for what’s coming next?
The Miz w/ R-Truth VS Bronson Reed!
Well, the mix-up aside, The Hollywood A-Lister is still going to do his best as the David to Bronson’s Goliath. Will Miz be able to topple the Colossal Aussie? Or will he get washed away by a Tsunami just like Seth Rollins?
Raw returns and Truth does his best to fire Miz up. We spot Mark Henry and his son, Jacob, in the crowd! Texas cheers for their World’s Strongest Man and surely, the Strongest Son in the World! But now, Bronson makes his entrance. The bell rings, Bronson runs up, but Miz BOOTS! Bronson doesn’t fall so Miz takes a swing! Bronson blocks the punch and TOSSES Miz to the corner! Bronson runs up but Miz dodges to fire haymakers from all sides! Bronson shoves Miz away but Miz kicks, KICKS, stomps a foot and knee lifts! Miz whips but Bronson blocks and reverses! Miz goes up and over, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Bronson CLBOBERS him!
Truth is worried, especially as Bronson ELBOW DROPS! And then SOMERSAULT SENTONS! Bronson snarls while Miz bails out. Truth helps Miz stand, but then Bronson aims from the apron! Bronson runs up, Truth moves, FLYING SHOULDER TACKLE CLOBBER Miz! Bronson roars, the fans boo, but Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again as Miz fights up in a chinlock. Miz fires body shots, then throws haymakers! Bronson shoves Miz, Miz rebounds, but Bronson scoops him. Miz slips free, goes to ropes, and then he DUMPS Bronson out! Miz runs and WRECKS Bronson with a dropkick! Then he aims to PLANCHA! Direct hit and Bronson staggers around! Bronson gets in the ring, Truth coaches Miz up, and Miz RAMS into Bronson! Miz HOTSHOTS Bronson, the fans rally, and Miz slips under to get moving. Miz ducks ‘n’ dodges and tilt-o-whirl DDTS! Cover, ONE??! Miz can’t believe it but Bronson’s just that big and tough!
The fans rally for Miz as he stands, and Miz KICKS! Bronson just gets mad! He eggs Miz on so Miz KICKS! And KICKS! Miz winds up, but Bronson blocks the kick to pop Miz up! Miz slips free, and dodges in the corner! Miz comes back to A-LIST LARIAT! Bronson staggers, Miz GAMANGIRIS from the apron! Miz springboards, but into Bronson’s arms! Fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Bronson goes up the corner and the fans freak out! TSUNAMI!! Cover, Bronson wins!
Winner: Bronson Reed, by pinfall
Well, Orton was right that Miz wasn’t gonna win out. But he did do his best to- NO, WAIT! Bronson is going back up! Truth runs in to say no! Truth moves Miz out of the way, so Bronson just CROSSBODIES Truth!! Truth is now Bronson’s target as Bronson climbs! TSUNAMI!! Truth sputters and coughs, this is looking like what happened to Rollins! Because Bronson goes back up! Refs rush in to say no but again, that was just like last week! TSUNAMI!! Adam Pearce storms out here to tell Bronson to stop the rampage! Bronson says screw it, and he hits a TSUNAMI!! Truth sputters and coughs, but Bronson goes back up!
The refs move Truth out of the way and Pearce tells Bronson that enough is enough! Bronson pounds his chest, King Kong ain’t got nothing on him! But as dangerous as Bronson is, he still stands down. Only to go around the way to the other corner!! TSUNAMI!!! Bronson almost takes out the producers with Truth!! Pearce is furious, and he tells Bronson that if he does not stop, he is suspended! Bronson says fine, and he leaves. Auszilla has already destroyed Rollins and Truth, what more will he do until he’s the one battling for gold?
Wait, the fans are telling Bronson, “ONE MORE TIME!” So Bronson does as they want, and he’s right back up top! TSUNAMI!!! Will no one ever stop this force of nature?
Sami Zayn prepares backstage.
Jey Uso walks over to say YEET! Let’s go! Jey says all Sami has to do is be Sami Zayn. Go get that title back, dawg! Sami says it won’t be that easy, he has to beat Bron Breakker. Jey says Sami already beat Bron. Yeah, but now he has to do it twice. Then Sami will just beat Bron again, and then beat him again! And then after that, Sami & Jey are going after those tag team titles. And then they’ll beat Judgment Day again! YEET! Is Sami ready? C’mon, dawg. Are you ready!? Sami says you know he ready! Secret handshake and Sami is ready! But is he ready enough to defeat the Big Bad Booty Nephew twice in one night?
BREAKING NEWS for Bash In Berlin!
After all the back and forth, the running around and brawling, it will be a Mixed Tag Team Match! “The Terror Twins,” Damian Priest & Rhea Ripley VS WWE’s Bonnie & Clyde, Dominik Mysterio & Liv Morgan! Will Dirty Dom and his new lady finally face the punishment they deserve?
Judgment Day speaks.
Finn Balor scowls as he looks at the screen. “We are the Judgment Day. No leaders. No egos. No Rhea. No Damian.” Dom laughs at the nickname, “Terror Twins.” Those two losers are a joke. No couple in the WWE, or in the world, compares to Dom & Liv. And Liv says in a few short weeks, this “Judgment Day Revenge Tour” makes a stop in Berlin to make Rhea & Priest pay for putting their hands on the most gorgeous man in the world. “Oh, and Damian. Watch out. Because Backstabber Balor’s about!” Judgment Day has put their former friends on notice, but is it Finn and the gang that should watch their backs?
BREAKING NEWS for next week’s Raw!
After things got out of hand and the champs ruined the match, they’ll just have to face BOTH teams! Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn are now in a TRIPLE THREAT against DMG CTRL and the PFC! Will Iyo & Kairi take control of the Women’s Tag Division once again? Will it be Shayna & Zoey that finally regain the belts? Or will the Unholy Union just win this Triple Threat like they did at Clash at the Castle?
WWE Intercontinental Championship Best 2 Out of 3 Falls: Bron Breakker VS Sami Zayn!
Money in the Bank went to Sami Zayn. SummerSlam went to Bron Breakker. So now, on this Texas sized Raw, it is a Texas sized tiebreaker! How hard will both men have to go if they want to be THE Intercontinental Champion once and for all?
Bron does a walk ‘n’ talk and says whenever someone does this stuff, they talk about how great they are, or what they’ll do to somebody. That’s not Bron’s style. Bron will do things the ol’ fashioned way. The “actions speak louder than words” way. So excuse him, but he’s a badass, and he’s gonna do what badasses do. “Football guy, Pat McAfee… We got any dogs barking in Austin? Hit my music.” The music hits, and Bron makes his entrance, with plenty of dogs barking for him. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who’s truly the top dog!
The bell rings for round one, the two rush in and Bron KNEES low! Bron RAMS into Sami again and again, then lets off to fire forearms. Sami fires counter punches! Bron knees low again, headlocks, but Sami powers up and out. Sami drops then hurdles, then he TOSSES Bron up and out! The fans fire up, Sami builds speed, and Sami FLIES! Down goes Bron though Sami had a rough landing, too. Sami still stands up and Austin fires up, but Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Bron CLOBBERS Sami! Cover, TWO! Sami stays in this but Bron stays on Sami. Bron ROCKS Sami with a right and Sami falls over. Bron drags Sami up to say the title isn’t going anywhere! Sami won’t take it from him! Bron is on Sami in the ropes but the ref counts. Bron lets off, then he brings Sami up to whip. Sami KICKS Bron back, then ELBOWS him! Sami runs, Bron dodges and comes back, to POWERSLAM Sami! Cover, TWO! Sami survives and Bron grows frustrated. The fans rally and duel, and Bron drags Sami up. Sami fights the lift so Bron CLUBS away. Bron tries again, Sami slips fere of the bomb!
Sami kicks low, then knuckle locks. Sami CHOPS, CHOPS and CHOPS! Sami goes up and up and FLYING TORNADO DDT!! Cover, TWO!! Bron survives but the fans fire up! The fans rally up, Sami rises first to reel Bron in. BLUE THUNDER- NO, Bron fights that and throws hands. Bron runs up to ROCK Sami! Bron whips, Sami goes up but Bron catches him! GERMAN SUPLEX! A hard landing for Sami and he goes to a corner. Bron runs in to LARIAT, then runs again! Another LARIAT! Bron keeps moving, but Sami follows! HELLUVA KICK!! Cover, Sami scores!!
Bron: 0; Sami: 1
The fans fire up as Sami scores first, much like he did at MITB! But can he do it again? Bron bails out, Sami pursues, and he CHOPS Bron. Sami whips, Bron reverses but Sami goes up the barrier, to QUEBRADA, into Bron’s arms! Bron runs to LAWN DART Sami into the timekeeper’s area!! Fans lose their minds while Sami is down on the ground, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and the fans are dueling as Bron has Sami up top. Bron climbs up, brings Sami up, but Sami fires a HEADBUTT! Bron staggers back, but then he runs right back up! SUPER STEINER!! Cover, TWO!! Sami survives and Bron is beside himself! The fans bark while Sami flounders. Bron shouts, then trophy lifts! BREAKKER SLAM!! But Bron doesn’t cover, he backs up and roars! Bron runs in, to SPEAR!! But Bron isn’t done here, either! The straps come down, and he runs, runs, and SPEARS!! Cover, Bron scores!
Bron: 1; Sami: 1
We’re all tied up, and it all comes down to this! That is, if Sami’s still in this. The ref checks Sami while Bron paces. Sami is still conscious, so Bron storms over to cover. Sami ghost pins! TWO!! Sami almost snatched that one away! Bron UPPERCUTS Sami down for it! Sami flounders out, falls onto the desk, and Bron storms up. Bron SMACKS Sami off the desk! Bron sits Sami up, slides into the ring, but that’s just to refresh the count. Bron aims from the apron, to FLYING LARIAT onto and over the desk!! The fans are thunderous as Bron rises again! Bron leaves Sami behind to the mercy of the count.
The fans rally, and Sami stirs at 5 of 10. Sami flops off the desk at 7! Sami crawls, we’re at 9! Sami springs in at 9.99!! The fans are going nuts and Bron is pissed! Bron storms over to Sami, hoists him up top, and then climbs up again. Bron brings Sami to the very top, but Sami blocks the suplex! Sami fires body shots, then CLUBS away on Bron! The fans fire up as Sami adjusts to SUPER SUNSET BOMB!! Cover, TWO!!! Bron survives and Sami is beside himself! The fans rally and duel as hard as they can while Sami and Bron both flounder. Sami drags himself up with ropes, Bron runs in, and Sami clinches! Bron fights it with elbows!
Bron OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY SUPLEXES! The fans bark, Bron runs in, Sami leaps over! Bron hits buckles, Sami rolls him up! TWO!! JUMP KNEE from Bron!! Sami crawls, Bron staggers up, and Bron builds speed again! But into a BOOT!! Cover, TWO!!! Bron is still in this and no one can believe it! “This is Awesome!” as Sami drags Bron to the drop zone. Sami hurries up top, but Bron rises. Bron runs right up again! Sami HEADBUTTS Bron away! And then AX HANDLE into a SPEAR!!! Cover, Bron wins!!
Winner: Bron Breakker, by pinfall (still WWE Intercontinental Champion)
A Texas sized main event, and it took Texas sized stamina to win out! Bron just had one more shot to give than Sami, and now he is the top dog! Will anyone ever stop Bron from making this his era? Or will he just break opponent after opponent until there’s no one left?
My Thoughts:
Another awesome Raw here, with really wild stuff. Great opening segment with Rhea calling out Dom & Liv, as well as with Dom & Liv responding. Great bit with Priest showing up outta nowhere, and great brawl that helped segue into Priest VS Carlito. Priest of course won that, but of course Judgment Day came back around to attack. Though that seemed silly when you consider Rhea was chasing Liv the whole time. And while Judgment Day had a good group promo later, that also seemed a little redundant. But hey, a Mixed Tag is happening and I’m all for that. You can bet Priest pins Dom in that, but it will definitely set up Rhea VS Liv for Bad Blood all the same.
Very good stuff in this New Day VS Final Testament story, such as Woods being only partly excited about Odyssey Jones hanging around. Jones of course won his match tonight, and The Final Testament of course had to stir the pot. I appreciate Kross went with what I thought last week, accusing Kofi of making Jones the new Big E. And while Kofi does interrupt Woods, Kofi has a point: you can’t keep it 2v2 because Final Testament has five members, they’ll just interfere. The Six Man Tag will definitely be a make-or-break moment for New Day. Either New Day wins because Woods accepts Jones, or Woods screws New Day over to be his own man, just as Kross wants.
Good stuff in the Alpha Academy/American Made saga. Gable’s promo from France was good, but that Texas Tornado Tag was awesome. Fans love Otis, fans love Tozawa, but Ivy of course joins The Creeds and turns on Maxxine. This could definitely be a Mixed Six Tag, giving American Made another win before potentially circling back to the Wyatts. Another great promo from Bo, and it does help that the Wyatts now have a mission in mind. Obviously, part of that should be going after championships, and I’m not even sure it has to matter who they’re challenging because everyone should be afraid of The Wyatt Sick6.
Very good promos from Damage CTRL and the new “Pure Fusion Collective.” Not the best name for them, sounds a bit like a Yu-Gi-Oh card, but the tag match was great stuff. And with Alba & Isla “ruining” it, Triple Threat is a great move, that is going to be an awesome match next week. I feel like Alba & Isla find a way to retain, they’ve got a big story building on SmackDown that, for the most part, do need the titles. Now, that does damage DMG CTRL and PFC a bit, but it just doesn’t feel like things change. Granted, I’m not sure Jade & Bianca win the titles back, that’d be too easy, too.
Very good promos from Dunne and Sheamus, though Dunne really only reiterated what he said on NXT. And of course Dunne attacks Sheamus. They’ve gotta have more than just a regular match but we’ll wait and see. Great stuff with overlapping a segment with Randy Orton and Gunther to one with McIntyre and Punk. Orton hitting the RKO here is already an indicator that he won’t win at Bash In Berlin, he’ll just give Gunther an awesome defense. Punk’s promo explained what was already clear from on screen: Punk tricked McIntyre, and now they’ll have a Leather Strap match. Punk had a bloody Dog Collar match in AEW with MJF as a blowoff, you can bet this strap match with McIntyre will be awesome.
Great promo from Truth and Miz to set up Miz VS Bronson because of the clever misunderstanding. Miz VS Bronson went about as expected, and if not for Truth taking the Tsunamis for Miz, I would’ve thought Miz would turn on Truth over this being the last straw. Maybe Truth taking all that damage for Miz will make Miz feel bad and Awesome Truth will stay together a little longer. And then awesome stuff with the Intercontinental Championship. Good promo from Jey firing Sami up, and awesome match with Sami and Bron. I was actually surprised Sami took the first fall, but that is a good parallel to their feud to this point.
Bron winning out makes sense, though. Sami and Jey really can move on to feuding with Judgment Day, backing up Priest and Rhea when numbers start to get the better of The Terror Twins. And Bron himself can take on anyone and everyone as more a Tweener. The fans really like Bron, so they’ll likely bark and cheer him on whether it’s Bronson Reed or Pete Dunne or Chad Gable. Sheamus might have the edge on Bron, though. Maybe Dragunov will challenge Bron for Bash In Berlin, I’m pretty sure the European crowd still loves Dragunov. But even then, I think Bron retains.
My Score: 9/10

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

As Kris just said, she’s calling out The CEO in hopes of one more TBS Championship match. But will the Superbad Girl be more like the Grinch for Kris this Christmas?

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

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

Claudio steps back down, and he runs into the timekeeper’s area! BACKPACK SENTON through the table! The fans lose their minds again while Claudio leaves Darby behind in the wreckage.

Cover, TWO! Ghost pin, TWO! Claudio is up, but Darby sunset flips! Claudio stays up, and DOUBLE STOMPS! Claudio deadlifts Darby to then TOSS him out of the ring!

Darby survives and shocks Claudio! Claudio argues with the ref but the count was fair! Darby’s just that tough! Claudio goes back to Darby and ripcords him into the RICOLA~ BOMB!! Cover, TWO!?!?! HOW?!? Claudio goes outside, and he brings out something from under the ring. He also has a chair! The ref takes the chair from Claudio, but Claudio has BRASS KNUCKLES! BRASS KNUCKLE PUNCH!!! Cover, CLAUDIO WINS!
Winner: Claudio Castagnoli, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Darby earns 0)
The Swiss Superman screws over Darby, but then he gets that chair back. But wait, Ospreay slides into the ring! And HE has the brass knuckles that Claudio tossed aside! Ospreay dares Claudio to do something, but Claudio simply leaves. Does this mean Ospreay’s ready to ride against the Death Riders with Darby? Or will we see a Miracle on 34th Street send Ospreay and Darby to Worlds End?

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

The fans cheer for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” and Hobbs ROCKS Konosuke! Hobbs even shouts “MEAT!” before he whips Konosuke. Konosuke ducks ‘n’ dodges but then so does Hobbs! Hobbs SPINE- NO, Konosuke flails free and Hobbs says it was that close. Konosuke says to cool off while he paces on the outside. Konosuke steps back into the ring, but he tags to Cage.

Hobbs and Cage DOUBLE LARIAT! Neither man falls, so they DOUBLE LARIAT again! And again! And again! Cage kicks low, shouts, “Who Betta Than Cage?” But then Hobbs CLOBBERS him!

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

Cage RAMS into Davis, and RAMS in again, then CHOPS! Davis staggers but Cage whips him to ropes. Davis reverses, to dosido with Cage, only for Cage to CLOBBER Davis! Cage BOOTS Davis down, covers, but Hobbs breaks it! Cage gets mad and the ref reprimands Hobbs, then Cage soaks up heat from DC. Cage stalks Davis to a corner and fires haymakers! The ref reprimands but Cage DECKS Davis! Cage soaks up more heat while he flexes.
Holiday Bash returns to single picture while Davis crawls. Cage storms over but Davis fires hands! Davis CHOPS, CHOPS, but Cage JUMP KNEES! Cage whips Davis, Davis cartwheels and swings on Cage! Cage blocks, waistlocks, but Davis switches! BIG back suplex! The fans fire up as Davis rises and reaches out! Davis crawls, as does Cage, hot tags to Hobbs and Konosuke!

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

Winners: Lio Rush & Action Andretti, by pinfall
Fast win for this furious duo, but “Oh my gosh, is that Private Party?” Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make their way out here and DC fires up! The AEW World Tag Team Champions call for “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” Lio & Action get their shot in the near future, but wait! Dante & Darius make their way out here? Private Party looks to the tunnels, but Lio & Action CLOBBER them from behind! Dante, Darius & Leila don’t worry about the champs, they stare Lio & Action down. Lio & Action hold up the belts, then throw them at the Martins. The refs keep this from getting any more physical, but will Lio & Action take those belts from Quen & Zay soon enough?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is now with the “multifaceted” Harley and notes she’s in action against Willow Nightingale tonight. Harley says yes, she IS multifaceted. She wants us to appreciate ALL her facets! Renee says yes, but she has yet to earn a singles win in AEW. Fine, ruin her fun. But then Harley asks if some person off camera is gonna say anything or just stand there. In steps Penelope Ford, and Mrs. Superbad says yes, she was simply observing. But Ford couldn’t help but notice that she and Harley share a lot of similar… facets. Harley asks how much Ford’s cost. Uh, no, not those…
Ford meant that she hasn’t had such a good 2024, either. So from The Bad Girl to the… Harley doesn’t have a good nickname yet. Well, don’t worry about it. Ford will watch Harley’s back and Harley will watch Ford’s. Wait, is something on Harley’s back? No, Harley… Just good luck. FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAMERON! No, she was being nice to you, Harley. Right, don’t feel the wrath of Harley Cameron. There is nothing on your back, Harley, stop scratching. Wait! W-What? Nothing, sorry. But will Harley be feeling Willow’s wrath instead?
Willow Nightingale VS Harley Cameron!
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two tie up. Harley pushes but Willow digs in her heels to SHOVE Harley down. Harley comes back, she and Willow reset and tie up again.

Willow fireman’s carries, storms around, but Harley pops up! Harley fires down elbows, then victory rolls, TWO! Willow escapes and ROCKS Harley! Fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO!
Harley survives but Willow roars! The fans fire up as the straps come down! Willow gut wrenches for the BABE WITH THE POWER BOMB!! Cover, Willow wins!
Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall
Willow faced the wrath of Harley Cameron and she prevailed! But then PENELOPE FORD goes after Willow! The fans boo but Ford did say she’d back Harley up. They both beat up on Willow, but here comes Kris! Kris Statlander storms the ring, Harley & Ford run away! Willow is again surprised, but the fans want these two to “Hug It Out! Hug It Out!” Kris says no, she doesn’t feel like it’s the right time. Kris lets Willow have the ring, is this proof that the #BornAgainKristen isn’t just a nickname?
Team Triple J speaks backstage.
Standing alongside Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, as well as Jeff & Karen Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt says, “They’ve asked us to look back and reflect on 2024, and Jeff, guys, what an incredible series of moments we’ve had in 2024.” The group agrees. From Wembley Stadium to Double J being in the Owen Hart Cup, some true career highlights that he will cherish forever. But Jarrett doesn’t like looking in the rearview mirror, he likes to look ahead. Next week, he’s not bringing resolutions, he’s bringing a game plan for 2025! What does the Last Outlaw have in store for himself and the team in the New Year?
AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Brody King VS Komander!
While the rest of Gold League stands at 6 points, these two men are struggling to keep up. Will the King of Death join that traffic jam at the front of the block? Or will the Commander of the Skies be a spoiler for Christmas?
The bell rings and we’re on the clock. Brody and Komander circle while the fans bark it up. There are fans who sing “OLE~ OLE OLE OLE~” for Komander as the two tie up. But then Brody picks Komande up with both hands, and puts him on the to rope. Brody pats Komander on the shoulder, and the fans bark more. Komander hops down, not intimidated by Brody’s size.

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