WWE mourns the loss of Sid Eudy.
Known by his nicknames of Sid Vicious, Sid Justice and even “Sycho Sid,” he was bad to the bone, and made his initial impact in WCW. His 6’9″ physique and fierce demeanor made him the perfect muscle for the Four Horsemen. It also set the stage for his WWE debut in 1991. Eyes wide open, imposing size, and unmatched intensity, Sid rose to the top quickly, going toe to toe even with Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 8, and main-eventing against The Undertaker at WM 13. Sid backed up his athleticism with mind games, won multiple world championships over nearly 30 years. But despite his menacing presence in the ring, Sid was known for his kind heart outside it.
A devoted family man, Sid will be remembered as a man of strength, kindness and love. He was a larger than life star who stood out in an era of larger than life characters, with a legacy that will live on forever.
The Judgment Day is here!
Providence, Rhode Island boos as Finn Balor leads the way for JD McDonagh, Carlito, Dominik Mysterio & Liv Morgan as they head down to the ring. They huddle up first, then break for the WWE World Tag Team Champions and Caribbean Cool to roll in first. Then Liv & Dirty Dom nuzzle noses before they hop onto the apron. The fans boo more as the group gets the mics. Liv starts by welcoming us to Monday Night Raw, and telling us to ALL RISE for The Judgment Day! Prince Finn says let’s remind everyone what Judgment Day is all about! Roll the tape!
We see replay of last week, when Dom was almost demolished, but Liv saved him. Then the rest of Judgment Day beat down “Terror Twins,” Damian Priest & Rhea Ripley, doing a lot of damage this close to Bash In Berlin. Carlito says now that was cool. JD tells Priest & Rhea that that beating was a long time coming! Finn agrees, and says let’s make one thing clear: They’re not the bad guys around here! It’s Priest & Rhea! If you ask this Judgment Day, Priest & Rhea betrayed them, and they got what they deserved!
And by the way, last week was just a preview of what happens at Bash In Berlin! Liv says she almost feels she should thank Rhea. If Rhea wasn’t so selfish, self-centered and egotistically, none of this could’ve happened. And at Bash In Berlin, when they stand over the lifeless, pathetic bodies of Priest & Rhea, hopefully they finally realize Dom & Liv are always on top. Dom starts but the fans boo even louder now. They even chant “DOM YOU SUCK! DOM YOU SUCK!” Carlito and Dom tell them all to shut up so Dom can talk!
Dom finally manages to say that Liv does things for Dom that Rhea has never done! Like help him beat his deadbeat dad, Rey Mysterio. With Liv’s full support, Dom is now entering the Intercontinental Championship Contender’s Tournament! And he will win the whole damn thing! So everyone will see why he is El Jefe! Especially Damian Priest and- WAIT! Here comes Rey! And he’s brought the Latino World Order! Dragon Lee returns, alongside Joaquin Wilde & Cruz Del Toro, and they storm right down to the ring! Rey gets a mic so he can tell his son, “Have you looked in the mirror recently? You’re a lost soul! You need help! You’re outta control, son!
“At least when you were with Rhea, one of you had a set! And it sure wasn’t you. Someone needs to put you in your place.” Dom laughs and asks if that’s gonna be Rey. Dom already beat Rey, and then he disappeared for weeks. Rey says Dom just had to go there. Dom’s always been a jackass, but now that he’s hanging out with wera Liv, he’s an even BIGGER jackass! Liv says no one talks about the Women’s World Champion like that, especially not some deadbeat. Dom, go get him! Yeah, Dom hit Rey! Rey would love to smack that stupid mustache off his face! The fans fire up for that!
Dom tells Rey he’d like to see Rey’s old ass try. JD runs up but Rey DECKS him! And the brawl is on! Liv gets back as the boys all throw hands! The LWO DUMPS out Judgment Day, and then Dragon builds speed to FLY! Direct hit on all of Judgment Day! Are Dom and his pals about to learn why you don’t mess with the LWO?

Backstage interview with The Miz.
Jackie Redmond is with The Hollywood A-Lister and notes his part in the Intercontinental Championship Contender’s Tournament. That title is one Miz has held an impressive EIGHT times, but this opportunity comes on the heels of a rough couple of weeks. What is Miz’s mindset going into tonight? Miz says it was good, until Jackie had to bring that up. Miz has had a bad time. Awesome Truth lost the tag titles, Miz didn’t get to complete in Cleveland for SummerSlam, and Bronson Reed crushed R-Truth. When Miz tries to avenge Truth, Bronson gives Miz a Tsunami. It feels like whenever Miz tries to do what’s right, it goes wrong.
But tonight, he can right those wrongs because tonight, he has a chance to get one step closer to the title HE made matter! The title that if he wins, he could tie for the most reigns ever! He’s talking about THE Intercontinental Championship. But in steps Bronson Reed. And he tells Miz that Miz came after him because he took out Truth. Truth came after Bronson because Bronson took out Seth Rollins. And now Miz has gone and gotten Braun Strowman involved. Bronson has lost track of all the people he has to maim. So once he maims the Monster, and he will, Bronson is coming back to finish Miz.
Bronson smiles and leaves, will Miz be able to survive these dog days of summer to make it to the Fall? Or will he just fall here tonight?
The New Day meets up backstage.
Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston know tonight is a big night! But Kofi asks, weren’t they doing matching green? Woods says he hit up Johnny and asked to put some special flare on it. Well alright, all good. But Kofi is glad they talked last week. The best thing about The New Day is that when they have an issue, they talk it out like grown men! You just don’t see that in wrestling! Emotionally mature grown men are rare, but that is why they’re going on ten years! They are the best! They communicate, just like with that tag last week. Odyssey Jones was closer, the footage shows it, they talked it out, it’s all good.
So like tonight, Kofi and Woods each have a shot at becoming #1 contender to the Intercontinental Championship. The best part is that they don’t have just one shot, they have TWO~! They can bring the title to the house of ya bois, the NEW~ DAY~! They swivel it out, “Hey~, we want some New~ Day!” Will Woods and Kofi make it through to the Fatal 4 Way finals? Or will the odds not be in their favor?
Iyo Sky & Kairi Sane VS Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark w/ Sonya Deville!
While neither Damage CTRL nor The Pure Fusion Collective came away with the tag titles last week, the chase never ends. Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn will be going to Berlin to face Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill, which team here will “welcome” the champs when they get back?
Raw returns and Cathy Kelley is at gorilla with PFC. Cathy paraphrases Sonya from a few weeks ago that the entire women’s division is on notice now that this group is together. What impact do they feel they’ve made already? Sonya says, “Oh, I dunno, Cathy. Why don’t you ask all the people sitting at home about what kind of impact we’ve made?” First there’s Dakota Kai. She might never walk again, let alone wrestle. Or ask Zelina Vega, with how Shayna owns her arm. Zoey says better yet, ask Kayden & Katana, who are now sitting at home, broken both mentally and physically. Oh wait, Cathy can’t, because they’re so pathetic that they didn’t even show up for work. How’s that for impact?
Shayna says after tonight, add Iyo & Kairi to the list. DMG CTRL, you wanna step up? Then shoot your shot! These three head to the ring, will they tear down the Sky Pirates limb by limb?
The teams sort out and Zoey starts against Iyo. They tie up, Zoey headlocks but Iyo powers out. Iyo drops, Zoey rolls, and they go again. Zoey ducks, handsprings over, but Zoey back suplexes! Iyo lands out, kicks low, and fires off forearms! Iyo whips, Zoey ducks ‘n’ dodges, Shayna tags in! Iyo runs up but Shayna DUMPS her out! Zoey taunts Iyo while Shayna taunts Kairi! The ref is distracted so Sonya KNEES Iyo down! The fans boo but PFC is in control while Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Shayna drags Iyo from the corner. Iyo kicks free, then basement ENZIGIRIS Shayna down! The fans rally, Iyo and Shayna crawl, hot tag to Kairi! She runs up to step on Shayna and BLAST Zoey! Then Kairi DECKS Shayna! And DECKS her again! URAKEN! Shayna falls over, Zoey runs up! Kairi dodges, URAKEN! The fans fire up with the Pirate Princess, but Shayna kicks low! Shayna whips, Kairi goes up and then gets Zoey, RANA SNAPMARE COMBO! The fans fire up again and Kairi aims at the corner. Kairi marches to then run in, DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE! Then a SLIDING D for Shayna!
The fans fire up as Kairi climbs, and she FLYING KABUKI ELBOWS Shayna! Cover, TWO! Shayna stays in this but Kairi stays on her with a headscissor squeeze! Kairi holds onto an arm but Shayna fights around. Shayna gets through the leg guard to deadlift Kairi, and SPINEBUSTER! Then AKNLE LOCK! The fans rally, Kairi endures, and Kairi turns over to BOOT Shayna! Zoey tags in, Shayna KNEES Kairi down! Zoey springboards, MISSILE DROPKICK! Cover, Iyo breaks it! Shayna runs up to fire hands, then she whips. Iyo stops herself, DUMPS Shayna out again, but Zoey SUPERKICKS! SUPERKICK for Kairi, too!
Zoey puts Kairi up top, SLAPS her, then climbs. Kairi hits back with body shots, but Zoey throws some of her own. ZELINA VEGA ATTACKS SONYA! The fans cheer as La Muneca gets payback on Sonya! Kairi HEADBUTTS Zoey down, and Iyo SHOTGUNS Shayna! Kairi and Iyo coordinate, In-SANE ELBOW and an ARIHARA MOONSAULT!! Cover, DMG CTRL wins!
Winners: Iyo Sky & Kairi Sane, by pinfall
The Sky Pirates are flying high, and PFC just got a reminder that their “victims” are now just their enemies. Will PFC soon learn what it is to be bullied?
Bo Dallas speaks.
Another video from the Wyatt Sick6, and Bo says, “I stopped to marvel at all our accomplishments. Nearly stepped on a serpent. We won’t make that mistake again. The false prophet continues to reveal himself to the world. Masquerading as a loving shepherd while marching his lambs into the mouth of wolves! A bond forged in the tears of the innocent is NOT a family. It’s a blasphemy!! Chad… We have given you chance after chance, inflicting fear and suffering. And yet, you refuse to remove the scales from your eyes. Your arrogance is like a beast, risen from the sea. We must cut off the head so the blood of the damned rains down, washing away the sins of the wicked.
“I accept your challenge. Your… ‘invitation.’ This is more than a reckoning. This… is a purge! There you are…!” Will Uncle Howdy make sure Gable learns this lesson?
Drew McIntyre is here!
Providence boos The Scottish Terminator as he makes his way out to the ring, CM Punk’s stolen friendship bracelet clear on his wrist. McIntyre gets a mic to mock CM Punk with, “Boy, is it great to be alive in Providence, Rhode Island on a Monday night or what?” McIntyre smirks while fans boo, and he says he can keep going. he knows the whole routine because Punk is so predictable! Punk then talks about his favorite subject, CM Punk, for the next ten minutes or more. Then he’ll say how hot the industry is, how WWE is selling out shows around the world, as if he were part of it instead of sitting on his arse for 8 YEARS while the rest of them did the work!
And then Punk gets sentimental, where he tells a story about how “Lil’ Timmy flew 239 THOUSAND miles from the Moon to worship his Lord and Savior, CM Punk.” McIntyre then sits down cross legged like Punk to say, “Do I have your attention now?” No, this isn’t a bit, this isn’t him being cute, this is McIntyre doing what he always has, and that is telling the truth. And the truth is CM Punk is SCARED of Drew McIntyre! The fans don’t believe him? McIntyre has known since the Royal Rumble and SummerSlam! Punk keeps attacking from behind, every opportunity that he gets! And why? Because the fans keep chanting his name every single week!
The fans chant “C M PUNK!” even now, and McIntyre just smirks. Do any of them know what an enabler is? No, of course they don’t, so let him explain. “An enabler is someone that encourages someone to do something that is detrimental to their well-being! Like handing an alcoholic a drink, every time you chant Punk’s name, he gets this big ego! He gets full of himself, he makes dumb decisions like challenging me to a Strap Match!” Then when Punk sobers up, he realizes McIntyre is going to kill him! And McIntyre will. But that will be on all of you who chanted his name. Every time McIntyre lashes Punk, that’s on them.
If you chant for Punk, every scar put on Punk’s body, the fans will have to live with it. The fans continue to chant but McIntyre just sighs. They have chosen nostalgia over the warrior who has always been there for you during the dark times. But he forgives you, because you know now that you do. McIntyre says it’s funny how this “fifty cent piece of trash” causes Punk so much emotional damage. And it is ironic that the weapon Punk chose to fix to McIntyre’s wrist will now inflict so much physical damage. Because McIntyre will lash him again, and again, and- CM Punk is here! The fans fire up and McIntyre is ready, but Punk attacks from behind, with the strap!
Well, McIntyre did say it himself… Punk goes after McIntyre, he wants to either put on the strap or take off the bracelet! McIntyre ROCKS Punk first, then SMACKS him off steel steps! McIntyre SMACKS Punk off the desk, fires off hands, and then just hammers away on him! McIntyre lets his hair down, gets the strap, and he seethes as he looks it over, McIntyre runs up, btu Punk TOSSES him onto the desk! Punk LASHES away with the strap, then punches with leather bound fist! The security rushes out here, the fans boo, but McIntyre bails! Punk starts LASHING the guards! Punk TOSSES them, then LASHES the last one!
The fans are all fired up, and Punk glares at McIntyre in the crowd! Punk attacked from behind but he isn’t afraid, he’s enraged! Will nothing stop Punk from beating McIntyre down and tagging the corners? Or will his rage get the better of him like it has before?
Braun Strowman speaks.
“‘Big’ Bronson Reed. You think you’re a somebody because you put Seth Rollins on the shelf? You talk about how you’re gonna bully me? Let me remind you that I’m not a child and this isn’t the playground anymore. Because when you step foot in that ring with me tonight, you’re gonna find out why they call me The Monster of All Monsters.”
Jey Uso is in the concourse.
The fans are all fired up as Main Event Jey the new IC Champ is coming soon. So hey Uce, please, hit his music! And oh yeah, uh, YEET! The fans fire up as Jey makes his entrance through the stands, and everyone in Providence bounces with him. Will this Triple Threat be just step on in Jey finally having himself a singles title? Or will he have a hard time getting past both Kofi and Kross?
WWE Intercontinental Championship Contender’s Tournament Triple Threat: Kofi Kingston VS Karrion Kross VS Jey Uso!
Raw returns and Kross makes his entrance first, accompanied by his femme fatale, Scarlett. Then Kofi makes his entrance, the bell rings, and Kofi runs up to fire off on Kross! Jey watches Kofi fires off and stomp away, then he storms in. Jey pushes Kofi back, so that he can stomp Kross! The fans “YEET! YEET! YEET!” Kofi pushes Jey back, and the former rivals say YEET, and they stomp Kross together! The fans cheer, Kofi & Jey let off, then Jey whips Kofi in to DROPKICK! Kross bails out, so Jey rolls Kofi up! ONE!! Kofi goes to a corner, Jey whips, but Kofi reverses. Jey goes up and over, keeps moving, but Kofi drops, hurdles, then hurdles again!
Kofi ELBOWS Jey down, the fans fire up, and Kofi covers. TWO, and the fans rally. Kofi brings Jey up, mule kicks, and the fans clap, “NEW! DAY ROCKS!” Kofi wrenches, whips, but Jey ducks ‘n’ dodges. Kross trips Jey up and then LARIATS him! Kross says NO yeet, but Kofi DROPKICKS Kross! Kofi climbs the corner and the fans fire up for the SUPER TRUST FALL! Direct hit on Kross AND Jey, and the fans fire up while Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and Kross grinds Jey down with a chinlock. Jey fights up, fires body shots, then blocks to counter punch! The fans “YEET! YEET! YEET!” as Jey fires more hands! Jey then pops, locks ‘n’ ptus some stank on the HAYMAKER! Kofi runs up, blocks a kick and spins Jey, but Jey DRAGON WHIPS Kofi down! Jey sees Kross and Kofi in corners, “UCE! OH!” HIP ATTACK for Kofi! But Kross SUPERKICKS Jey! NO yeet! Kross runs up on Kofi but Kofi BOOTS him! Kofi goes up and up and CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO!

Winner: Jey Uso, by pinfall
YEET! Main Event Jey moves on to that huge Fatal 4 Way in two weeks! Who else joins Jey in that match? And can Jey still find his way to a title opportunity?
Gunther speaks.
Via Instagram, Der Ring General let us know he is part of the WWE Europe tour run-up to Bash In Berlin, and over there, the people recognize his greatness. But do not misunderstand, Gunther’s focus is still aimed at Saturday. As much as SummerSlam went down in history as the day that Gunther saved this great sport, Bash In Berlin will be remembered as the day where Randy Orton finally met his match. And Der Ring General will leave Berlin still World Heavyweight Champion. But what will The Viper have to say in return? We find out next, because Orton is headed to gorilla!
Randy Orton heads to the ring!
Raw returns as Providence fires up for the Apex Predator. Orton steps in the ring, does his iconic pose on the corner, then gets a mic. Orton smiles as the fans cheer him on, and he says for almost the entirety of his career, he has listened to the voices in his head. But it seems as of late, the voices he listens to now are each and every one of the fans. He thanks them, they cheer, and Orton says he wants to thank them for singing along to his music. Orton would be remised if he didn’t say that it means the world to him. Even if it took them 15 years… But still, thank you. The fans cheer again, and Orton smiles.
“Providence, listen to this. I have won a lot of titles throughout my career. But there’s one title, one world title in particular, that I loved most, and it’s the World Heavyweight Championship. Now the reason for that, is that is the first world title that I won. And I am the youngest man in history to have his name engraved on that belt.” The fans cheer that, and Orton says 10 years ago, he was given the honor, the privilege, to unify the two world titles WWE had at the time. And in that moment, Orton retired that World Heavyweight Championship, his name once again engraved upon it.
Now a year ago, this NEW World Heavyweight Championship was born, but Orton wasn’t here. He was at home, recovering from spinal fusion surgery, and he didn’t know if he’d ever make it back here. But Orton knew that if God allowed him to compete and perform again, then he would deo everything in his power to one day make sure his name was engraved on this World Heavyweight championship! This Saturday in Berlin, Orton gets his opportunity. A new World Heavyweight Championship, a new title, and a new legacy. The fans chant “You Deserve It!” Orton takes a moment to soak that in.
Orton continues by saying he does know he’ll be stepping into enemy territory in Berlin. He also knows he will be facing a living legend to Europe. Gunther is a European legend. But Orton also knows that he will be facing a man whose head is shoved so far up his own ass that Gunther has no idea that he’ll be facing the most dangerous, decorated, controversial yet successful this business has seen in almost 20 years. The fans cheer that! Orton then says that he grew up in front of each and every one of these fans. Orton signed to the WWE at 19 years old. The fans have watched him grow up, be humbled over and over again, and learn from his mistakes.
Eventually, Orton had to step out from behind the shadows, take out each of those shadows one by one, and earn every ounce of respect that comes with his name! When Gunther first stepped in, he was already a 30-something, egotistical little pr*ck! That might be the one thing that these two have in common. But the difference is that Orton was humbled. Gunther has never been put in his place. But this Saturday, that happens! All this title match ever had to be about was the title. That’s all! But Gunther had to make it personal. He talked about Orton’s family, and all the demons in Orton’s past he had to overcome.
And yeah, Orton has faced his share of them. Each one of those demons was tougher than Gunther ever was. Orton beat those demons just like he’s gonna beat Gunther and become a FIFTEEN-TIME World Champion! And if you’re curious at all as to how Orton will do it, he’ll use the three most dangerous letters in sports entertainment: R K O! The Viper has responded to Gunther’s ultimatum with one of his own, but who will back up those words with a definitive victory?
Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn speak.
“All we’ve been told is that Jade & Bianca are an unstoppable force.” “Two mega powers, superheroes come to life, ready to demolish the tag division.” But then, why does The Unholy Union still have the belts? Everyone likes to roll out the red carpet for Jade & Bianca, from media to interviews, but what good does that do when the bell rings? They scoffed at Alba & Isla going into Clash at the Castle, saying these two didn’t have a chance. But look how it turned out! Just because everyone wants Jade & Bianca to be the best, doesn’t mean it’ll happen.
So in Berlin, Alba & Isla prove the doubters wrong, prove Jade & Bianca for the frauds that they are, and then walk out still your WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions! Will these wicked witches make their predictions a reality? Or will the StrongEST Duo prove a Triple Threat is far different from going 2v2?
Bronson Reed VS Braun Strowman!
These behemoths have said their parts, now it is time to see them fight it out! It is a kaiju monster movie come to live, will Auszilla use a Tsunami to wash away the Monster of All Monsters? Or will “Big Bronson” find he’s not as bad as this One Big SOB?
Raw returns as The Colossal Aussie makes his entrance. The bell rings, the two run up, and Braun SHOTGUN DROPKICKS! Braun fires off hands in the corner, lets off as the ref counts, then he goes after Bronson in another corner. Braun BODY BLOWS, CLUBS, and CHOPS Bronson! Braun bumps Bronson off buckles, then whips him corner to corner! But Bronson comes back to CLOBBER Braun! The fans fire up, Bronson runs in and SPLASHES Braun! Bronson shoves Braun down, then HEADBUTTS him! Bronson runs to STEAMROLL SENTON! Braun flounders to a corner but Bronson goes after him.
Bronson RAMS into Braun again and again, but lets off as the ref counts. Bronson HEADBUTTS Braun, CLUBS him, then stands him up to CHOP! Braun just puts Bronson in the corner, to CHOP! The fans fire up, Braun gets moving, and he CROSSBODIES?! Bronson falls, Braun fires up, and Providence fires up as Braun watches Bronson. Bronson stands, Braun runs in again, but into a BOOT! Bronson goes up, to CROSSBODY back!! Braun bails out, Bronson catches his breath, these big men are going hard! Bronson BOOTS Braun down, then gets a wild idea to build speed! TITAN SIZED TOPE!!

WWE Intercontinental Championship Contender’s Tournament Triple Threat: The Miz VS Xavier Woods VS Pete Dunne!
The A-Lister is most certainly synonymous with the WWE Intercontinental Championship, but he has a hard road back to that title picture. At the same time, New Day still has their shot at it, and The Bruiserweight is looking to get himself some gold once again. Will Dunne be the one to #FigureItOut?

The Bruiserweight did indeed #FigureItOut, and now New Day has NO shot at the gold. Will Dunne also have what it takes to win that Fatal 4 Way? Who else will join them out of this star-studded Raw roster?
Backstage interview with Bron Breakker.
Jackie Redmond is with the champion, and this tournament is officially underway. Surely he has been watching, what does he make of the field so far in Jey Uso and Pete Dunne? Bron says bravo. Great work by both guys. Jey Uso, yeet. Dunne, hard fought win for the Bruiserweight. But he also heard last week, Jey was namedropping Bron. Jey better watch his mouth. Because there has never been a member of Jey’s family that’s beat a member of Bron’s! Jey is not gonna be the one to do it. As for Dunne, beating Bron for the title? C’mon. Don’t think so.
To whoever wins this tournament, Bron promises them that he is “that dude, that dog,” THE Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion, “and the worst is yet to come.” The Big Bad Booty Nephew puts everyone on notice, but will he be the one to eat those words?
American Made gets a workout in.
Chad Gable finishes up a bench press, and he tells Uncle Howdy, “You call me a false prophet? I’m not the one that hides behind a mask. I’m not the one who sends my family to do my dirty work every week while I sit back and watch. That’s all you, Howdy: Completely false. But I know the man behind the mask. And tonight, the bell’s gonna ring, the lights are gonna go on, and everyone’s gonna find out that you’re just an ordinary guy. And you’re gonna tap out just like an ordinary guy, and you’re gonna find out that you’re dealing with someone that is anything but ordinary. I’m a genius! A master! An Olympian! And the guy that’s gonna lead The Creed Brothers and Ivy Nile to greatness! Tonight, you’re gonna find out that Chad Gable is American Made.”
Gable is ready to have it out with Bo Dallas, but will this genius find he still has much to learn about himself?
Damian Priest & Rhea Ripley speak.
The Punisher says, “So The Judgment Day gave us an explanation. They explained why they stabbed us in the back. And they think we’re the bad guys. You damn right we’re the bad guys.” The Eradicator says, “It never felt so good to be so bad! And I mean, you guys made us the villains that you can’t live without.” Priest says they wanna play victims, but they won’t have to play at Bash In Berlin. Priest & Rhea will make Dom & Liv the victims. They didn’t become the most destructive forces in the WWE by being good. And at Bash In Berlin, the Terror Twins show no mercy. They will be the devils that are coming to end Judgment Day!
With as angry and determined as Priest & Rhea are, will Dom & Liv even make it back to the States? Or will they make sure not to go in there without some back-up?
BREAKING NEWS on next week’s Raw!
Raw will be live from Denver, Colorado, and the WWE Intercontinental Championship Contender’s Tournament continues! In one Triple Threat, we see Bronson Reed take on Sheamus and Ludwig Kaiser, plenty of animosity between all those men. In the other Triple Threat, Dominik Mysterio will take on Dragon Lee and Ilja Dragunov! Can Dirty Dom survive two dragons at once? Or will he be burned and left out of the Fatal 4 Way?
Chad Gable VS “Uncle Howdy” Bo Dallas!
While Ivy Nile & The Creed Brothers see him out to the stage, they leave this in the hands of “Master Gable.” Will Gable be able to bring Bo Dallas back to reality? Or is he the one in denial and needs someone to slap some sense into him?
The lights go down, the fireflies come out, and the fog rolls in as the piano plays. Gable watches the eerie light as Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Sick6 step out! Howdy picks up the lantern, and continues to lead the way. Then he blows the lantern out, the lights come back on, and Gable is clearly worried as he stands by the Hydration Station. Gable slowly returns to the ring, the fans rally behind Howdy, and the bell rings. They tie up, go around, and Howdy cravats for knee after knee! Then Howdy makes Gable waltz with him! Gable gets mad, he CLUBS, throat chops and KNEES low! Gable says he’s not afraid of Bo!
Gable runs, but Howdy LARIATS him down! Howdy runs up, but Gable ELBOWS him away! Gable runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but runs into a POWERSLAM! And then Howdy CLOBBERS Gable! Howdy slithers up and Gable scrambles out of the ring! The fans fire up, Howdy says, “YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH~!” Bo has the spirits of Bray and Harper with him while Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Gable blocks a kick to DRAGON SCREW! Howdy writhes, Gable goes up a corner, and Gable DIVING HEADBUTT FLOPS as Howdy moves! The fans rally, both men rise, and Gable fires a hand! Howdy hits back! Gable and Howdy trade shots, the fans rally up, but Gable gets the edge. Howdy just snarls and ROCKS Gable! Howdy runs up, but Gable clinches, to OVERHEAD SUPLEX Howdy to the floor! Gable then goes up the corner, and he SUPER FLYING LARIATS! Down goes Howdy and the ring count starts. Gable rolls in at 4 of 10, but fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” Gable frowns, and he goes out to run in at Howdy! Howdy BACKDROPS Gable!
The fans fire up and Howdy runs to HIP ATTACK Gable against barriers! Howdy refreshes the ring count, then goes back to Gable. Howdy drags Gable up, TOSSES him over the desk, and Gable lands on an armchair! Howdy clears off the desk! The ring count is climbing, so Howdy refreshes it. Howdy then drags Gable up onto the desk, the fans fire up, but Gable wrenches! OLYMPIC SLAM on the desk! Both men flop down, the ref checks and Gable wants the ref to call it! Howdy is somehow still in this so Gable hurries into the ring. The count climbs, and Howdy stirs at 4 of 10. Gable wants the count go go faster, and we’re at 7!
Howdy rises at 8, and rolls in at 9! Gable stomps away at the ropes and corner! Gable lets off, then drags Howdy up to the top rope. Gable climbs up after Howdy, stares him down, then fires fists! The fans boo, but Howdy grabs Gable by the face! “There you are!” Gable ROCKS Howdy again! Gable brings Howdy up, for a SUPER BELLY2BELLY!! Gable crawls to the cover, TWO!! Howdy survives and Gable is frustrated! The fans rally, Gable stalks Howdy and drags him up. GERMAN SUPLEX! Gable holds on, he drags Howdy up again, for another GERMAN SUPLEX! And then a third GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans boo but Gable brings the straps down!
Gable waits on Howdy and Howdy rises in the corner. Gable runs up, CHAOS- NO, Howdy bucks that, and spider walks! Gable freaks out, runs up, but into an URENAGE! Cover, TWO! Gable survives, but Howdy keeps his focus on him. Howdy signals for something, and he runs up to ELBOW Gable in a corner. Howdy whips Gable corner to corner hard, and Gable falls right back! The fans fire up as Howdy stomps Gable, then bumps him off buckles. Howdy fires elbow after elbow, and he gets the fans fired up again. Howdy reels Gable in, suplexes, to put him on ropes for a MAGIC SCREW! Gable writhes and the fans fire up for Howdy!
Howdy waits on Gable, clinches, but Ivy is here! The ref is distracted, as is Howdy, and Gable spins free to trip Howdy! ANKLE LOCK!! The fans boo but Howdy fights his way to the ROPEBREAK! Gable drags Howdy back, but Howdy rolls to send Gable into the ref! Gable is stunned, but he shrugs and goes after Howdy. Howdy clamps on a MANDIBLE CLAW!! Gable is smothered, but here come The Creeds! Julius & Brutus drag Howdy out to THRWO him into barriers! The fans boo more but the Creeds mug Howdy! No ref means no law, but Howdy just laughs!? Because here comes HIS family!
The lights go down, then come back up, and surprise! LUMIS LEAPS IN! He takes out Julius, so Gacy & Rowan go after Brutus! The fans fire up as the Wyatts TOSS The Creeds and brawl into the crowd! Rowan choke grips Julius, but Ivy jumps onto Rowan’s back! Rowan still BOOTS Julius, then just keeps going, with Ivy as a backpack! Gable gets Howdy back in the ring, hurries up a corner, and MOONSAULTS, but has to land out! Gable stands, into the clinch! SISTER ABIGAIL!! Cover, Howdy wins!
Winner: Uncle Howdy, by pinfall
The Wyatts are triumphant and the fans in Providence all cheer! But is this the end of their story with Gable and American Made? Or is it just the beginning of a new chapter?
My Thoughts:
A great Raw to be both the go-home to Bash In Berlin but also to set up things for beyond that. Great stuff from Judgment Day’s story to open tonight, especially with us finally getting more of the LWO back in action. I was even just wondering where they’d been in this story, and they return to give Judgment Day a great 8 Man Tag. Though, I figured Judgment Day would win out since Dom & Liv need momentum going into the Mixed Tag Match. Priest & Rhea of course showed up to go after them, too, and they also got momentum by beating up JD and Carlito. I would think the math is still in favor of Priest & Rhea winning in Berlin, presuming Rhea is to get a title rematch with Liv.
Zelina also made a great return as she gets a shot on Sonya during the great tag match. Iyo & Kairi get a great win off that, they might be poised for a title opportunity soon. Good promo from Alba & Isla to hype up the tag title match on Saturday, but there’s also SmackDown to give Jade & Bianca something. As I’ve been saying, it just doesn’t feel like Bianca & Jade get those belts back, there are opportunities for both of them to go for the WWE Women’s Championship and even compete against each other. And there are more women’s tag teams on Raw for the moment, it just makes sense this is the show these titles would be featured on. That said, hopefully WWE balances the shows and gives the champs more of a reason to be on both shows.
Very good promo from Gunther and equally good promo from Orton, but nothing brand new to share and nothing that changes the math. Orton will look great as always, but Gunther’s going to retain because he also has a long list of opponents he can still face. Great promo from McIntyre with him copying Punk and calling him out, for Punk to then of course go after him. Punk stood tall here, but he also did lose at SummerSlam, so it’s hard to say what happens with the Strap Match. But I would think Punk finds a way to win, to then compel these two to escalate further for the tiebreaker at like Bad Blood. For one, that’d be a big match for bringing Bad Blood back, like if it were Last Man Standing or Hell in a Cell.
Good promos from Bronson and Braun before their literally huge match tonight. In the ring was really good stuff, and then for things to go all the way to the parking lot, and them crushing that car, that was awesome. And honestly, with the idea of Bronson getting up and walking away on his own, I really thought he was going to attack Miz, either during or after the Triple Threat. That did not happen, maybe that’s if Bronson doesn’t win his Intercontinental Championship Contender’s Triple Threat. Though, it’s a shame he and Sheamus can’t both be in the Fatal 4, that’d be some good stuff alongside Jey and Dunne.
Speaking of, both Triple Threats tonight were awesome. Good promo from Woods and Kofi, which also helped feed the dysfunction growing in New Day. Woods chose not to be a Green Lantern(?) with Kofi, but that passive aggressive behavior is moot when neither guy moves on. Jey was definitely moving forward given how things were feeling from when Jey said Sami was taking time off. Great for Dunne to move on, he needs a little something to do right now. The final Triple Threat of Dom VS Dragon VS Dragunov is going to be an interesting one. Depending on how Bash In Berlin goes, maybe Dom is in rough shape. Plus he might cancel out with Dragon Lee if Judgment Day and LWO start feuding again. Plus, Dragunov is great, he also needs things to do.
And great main event out of Gable and Howdy. Very good promos from both to hype up the match, and naturally things got overbooked with American Made and Wyatts showing up to brawl. Great win for Howdy, but I’m pretty sure Gable will make excuses to force a rematch, probably with a No Disqualification style stipulation, and something fitting of Bray Wyatt’s own stipulation matches. Well, maybe not, the Pitch Black match was more cool visually. Unless they do a Firefly Funhouse type thing to make Gable come face to face with his WWE career up to this point like Bray did to Cena.
My Score: 8.8/10

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

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

“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 goes out after Darby and drags him up again. Claudio scoops and then POSTS Darby! And POSTS him again! Claudio TOSSES Darby aside, rolls into the ring, but only to refresh the count. Claudio then drags Darby by a leg and brings him over. Claudio SWINGS Darby into steel steps!! Claudio puts Darby in the ring, stands him up, and runs to LARIAT! Darby flips through the air! Claudio covers, TWO!! Darby survives and Claudio is frustrated. The fans rally for Darby but Claudio rains down HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Then Claudio tucks the arms, RICOLA- CODE RED!! Cover, TWO!! Claudio escapes in time!
The fans rally while both men are down again. Darby and Claudio slowly rise, and Ricochet watches, very amused as Darby is his next opponent in the round robin. Darby crawls to a corner, climbs up, but Claudio UPPERCUTS! Claudio HEADBUTTS Darby, then climbs up again. Claudio brings Darby up and suplexes, but Darby fights around! SUPER SCORPION DEATH DROP!! The fans are thunderous for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” as Darby rises up. Darby climbs to the very top, COFFION DROP onto knees! Claudio saves himself, then he hauls Darby up. Straitjacket and RICOLA~ BOMB!! Cover, TWO!?!?
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 teams sort out and Konosuke starts against Hobbs to give the DC fans a preview of Worlds End. Hobbs and Konosuke step up, talk trash, and then the forearms go back and forth! 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. The fans stay fired up for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Cage and Hobbs circle.
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 stays in this but Davis bumps him off buckles.

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

Konosuke rains down fists on Davis, but lets off as the ref reprimands. Konosuke tags Cage and Cage drags Davis up. Cage ROCKS Davis, whips him into a corner, and Davis hits buckles chest first! 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!

The straps come down, and Hobbs runs up, only for Konosuke to dodge!
Konosuke runs, Cage tags in, and Konosuke BOOTS Hobbs in the corner! Cage runs up to UPPERCUT, GAMANGIRI, and then GERMAN SUPLEX! Hobbs flounders, Cage hauls him up, PUMP HANDLE FACEBUSTER!!

The Alpha slam dunks on Dunkzilla, and now he has 8 days to prepare for the Powerhouse! Will Konosuke hold onto his International Championship against Hobbs? Or will taking that title be the perfect payback?
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.

Action runs up, Goldy dodges, but Lio LARIATS Goldy on the other side! Myles whips Lio but Lio hits RUSH HOUR! Action torture racks Myles for a NECKBREAKER! Lio covers, Lio & Action win!
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 bumps Harley off buckles, then fires LARIAT after LARIAT! The fans count al the way to TEN!

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
