PLAY BY PLAY
Cody Rhodes is here!
Tulsa, Oklahoma is fired up for The American Nightmare as he is STILL Undisputed WWE Champion! The fans sing along with the song, “WHOA~ OH~!” and Cody gets his pyro. Cody high-fives fans and signs autographs. Cody then goes to the ring, “WHOA~ OH~!” and gets more pyro before he gets the mic. The fans cheer more, and Cody hears them out. Then he asks Tulsa, “Whadda we wanna talk about? I don’t want to delve into the past, I want to do something perhaps unexpected in this moment. As wonderful, as epic, as truly grand as SummerSlam was, all eyes are what’s on what happens next.
“This right here, if you play our game, is the North Star of the industry. It is the Undisputed WWE Championship.” The fans cheer that! Cody says he has been thinking about who he would like to defend his championship against, at Bash In Berlin! “This guy-” Solo Sikoa interrupts! The fans boo but Cody smiles through the disrespect as the man who would be Tribal Chief makes his way out here, Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa flanking him. Solo has a mic to tell Cody that he’ll stop Cody right there. Solo doesn’t care what Cody wants to talk about, or what the people want to hear. “Shut your mouths, Tulsa!”
What Solo wants to talk about is SummerSlam. Solo says if not for a certain someone, SOLO would be champion! So before Cody says or does anything else, Cody WILL give Solo a rematch for the title. The fans boo but Cody says he didn’t wanna talk about the past. But if Solo wants to, then let’s talk about SummerSlam! The very SummerSlam where Solo could NOT get the job done on his own, and he even caused Jacob Fatu to get hurt! The same SummerSlam where he set Roman Reigns on a warpath because Solo is cosplaying as Tribal Chief! The same SummerSlam that Cody beat Solo right here in the damn center of the ring!
That means Solo absolutely, 100%, unequivocally DELUSIONAL if he thinks he has claim to a rematch! The fans fire up with that! Cody asks Solo what else does he want to talk about. The Bloodline storms up to the ring, but wait! In steps Kevin Owens, with chairs! The fans are thunderous as Cody & Kevin take swings! The Bloodline backs off, and Solo says he’ll deal with this later, after he finds Roman Reigns. Cody says he’ll be waiting for it! But then Cody has the music stop so he can talk with Kevin. He doesn’t wanna make this awkward, but he wants to talk with Kevin about something. Kevin steps back into the ring and the fans rally up.
Cody tells Kevin that he is sure this will be awkward, uncomfortable, and Kevin might even say no. But earlier, before Cody was interrupted, he was talking about who he’d like to face for the championship. So Kevin… Cody would like to face you. The fans fire up and Kevin has a mic to say as much as he appreciates that, he doesn’t deserve such a match. He doesn’t. Title matches needed to be earned, but Kevin hasn’t earned it. Look at his singles record lately. He appreciates the offer, but he’s not the guy. The fans rally for Kevin that “You Deserve It!” Cody knows Kevin can hear that. Cody feels Kevin does deserve it.
Cody hasn’t forgotten, the people haven’t forgotten, all the sacrifices Kevin has made. When Cody needed someone by his side, Kevin was in the trenches with him. Kevin is still The Prizefighter in the prime of his career, and he may be Cody’s close friend, but Cody is ready to talk with Nick Aldis and tell Aldis all the reasons Kevin should face Cody at Bash In Berlin! Cody is pretty sure Aldis will see what Cody sees, what all the fans see, and hopefully after that, the only thing left to say is, “I’ll see you at Bash In Berlin.” Kevin is humble but Cody wants to reward that, will we see these two battle for the gold in Germany?
WWE Tag Team Championships #1 Contenders Match Qualifier: A-Town Down Under VS The Street Profits w/ B-Fab!
Jacob Fatu’s injury does bring into question who even are the champions right now for The Bloodline. But with that in the background, the top teams of SmackDown are going to battle their way through a mini-tournament! Will Austin Theory & Grayson Waller be one step closer to getting those belts back? Or will Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins show they want the smoke?
SmackDown returns as Byron Saxton interviews The Profits at gorilla position. We know The Bloodline are the new tag team champions, and that Ford & Dawkins are eager to get- B-Fab stops him there. “Tez & Dawks are way more than eager. They’re motivated, determined, and on point.” Ford says Bloodline is shaking in their boots. Sure they won the titles, big congrats. But ever since the REAL Tribal Chief showed back up on the scene, those guys can’t get it together. So you better believe The Profits will take full advantage. Dawkins says it has been three YEARS, and they are back on the road to gold. A-Town Down Under just happens to be in the way.
B-Fab says The Profits are up, and #WeWantTheSmoke! The team makes their entrance, are they going to get fired up on that path back to the top?
The teams sort out and Dawkins starts against Theory. They circle, Waller grabs at Dawkins but Dawkins DECKS him for it! Theory CLUBS Dawkins, fires hands, and Waller gets up. The ref counts, Waller tags in at 4, and Theory sends Waller in to ELBOW Dawkins! Waller CLUBS Dawkins, tags Theory, and now Waller whips Theory, only for Theory to whip Waller at Ford! Waller slides to trip Ford and send him into barriers! But Dawkins DECKS Theory now! Dawkins fires hands in the corner and the fans fire up! Dawkins whips corner to corner, runs up and CYCLONE SPLASHES! Dawkins whisp again, but Theory dodges this time, and Dawkins POSTS himself!
Waller tags in, he mocks the fans with the drop steps. Waller runs, slides, and LARIATS Dawkins down! ATDU tell B-Fab to join their team, but Ford FLIES in! The fans fire up as Ford takes down both Theory and Waller! The Profits stand tall, the fans rally with “We Want The Smoke!” and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and Dawkins reverses a whip. But Theory drop toeholds him into buckles! Then he goes to the apron, slingshots and somersaults, SHOTGUN DROPKICK! Theory says that’s all day! Waller tags in and Theory is a bit surprised, but Waller says to do a combo move. Theory fireman’s carries Dawkins, Waller goes up, but Dawkins slips free! Dawkins shoves Theory at Waller, Waller leaps over, but into a HAYAMKER! Dawkins then catches Theory for a FALL AWAY SLAM! The fans fire up while ATDU and Dawkins are all down! Dawkins crawls, hot tag to Ford! Ford goes up to CROSSBODY Waller!
Ford DECKS Theory, LARIATS Waller, and then dodges Waller to run and LARIAT! Theory is back up but Ford FLAPJACKS him! Waller back suplexes, Ford lands out! Ford hits a BIG back suplex, then kips right up! The fans are thunderous, and Ford flexes before the STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Waller stays in this but Ford goes up top! Ford aims, to FROM- NO, he has to bail out as Waller moves! Waller CLBOBERS Ford into the corner! Tag to Theory, DOUBLE ROLLING ELBOW!! Cover, TWO!! Ford survives that nasty sandwich but Theory stays on Ford. Theory suplexes Ford slips free and ELBOWS Theory!
Theory distracts the ref, and Waller drags Ford out of the ring! Ford dodges to SUPERKICK! Dawkins runs up to POUNCE Waller into the timekeeper’s area! The fans are thunderous again but Theory reaches for Ford! Ford GAMANGIRIS him away! Ford hurries in, but Theory fireman’s carries! Dawkins tags in, and Dawkins saves Ford from A-Town Down! Ford goes up as Dawkins Electric Chair Lifts Theory! BLOCKBUSTER DOOMSDAY!! Cover, Profits win!!
Winners: The Street Profits, by pinfall (advance to the #1 contenders match)
The fans are erupting for Ford & Dawkins because they got that smoke! They’re moving on to the next round, will they soon have those golden tickets to a title match?
Cody and Kevin talk with Aldis.
The champion wants the SmackDown General Manager to make the match but the Prizefighter keeps insisting someone else should get this shot. Cody says Randy Orton went over to Raw to get a World Heavyweight Championship match, how is this different? Kevin says it’s because Randy deserves it. Plus, the King of the Ring controversy. Kevin doesn’t feel he deserves it. Aldis says it is a moot point because he’s waiting to discuss a championship match with… Roman Reigns. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What? Aldis has to be kidding. He’ll give a match right to Roman?
Kevin says he’s man enough to know he doesn’t deserve this match, but Roman? Well, Roman was champion for 1,316 days. Kevin says it doesn’t matter how long he was champion! Four years, but so many times during those four years, Kevin had Roman beat! Cody had Roman beat! A LOT of people had Roman beat! But Roman always had someone watching his back. And Kevin gets it, a champion does whatever it takes to keep the title, but seriously? Rematch clauses haven’t been used in YEARS. Kevin sure never got his rematch, so why does Roman? Get the hell out of here with that.
Let’s talk about someone who deserves this match more than Roman Reigns. Go to the locker room, open the door, and just look inside! Aldis says no need, he sees a guy right here. Cody sees it, the fans see it, and now Aldis sees it. Bash In Berlin, Cody VS Kevin, it’s official. Kevin says he really will see Cody in Berlin. Seems Cody got what he wanted for Kevin after all, will these two tear it up for a huge Summer finale in Germany?
Tiffany Stratton talks with production.
She wants pink balloons, a pink carpet, and everything needs to be perfect for Queen Nia’s celebration next week. Y’know what? Let her handle it. She brings out her pink clipboard and writes down everything she just said. And then “Yes, Girl~!” Pretty Deadly walks in to say this party sounds so good. She’s got the pink and the pizazz, though Elton Prince would’ve gone with a fuchsia but that’s just him. Kit Wilson suggests that when Pretty Deadly wins the WWE Tag Team Championships, she can be their party planner, too. Oh, wait! Pretty Deadly the Musical! They’re casting, what is her vocal range?
Because they need like a Sabrina Carpenter meets One Direction. Tiff says she’s busy, gotta go. And here come Chelsea Green & Piper Niven. And The Hot Mess says, “Well aren’t you just the prettiest princess at the state fair.” So are these Tiff’s plans for Nia’s celebration? Because if the party is anything like Tiff’s abysmal outfit, she should let the classy ones take over. Doesn’t Chelsea have a ladder to fall off of? Uh, well, Nia doesn’t even like pink! If Tiff was really Nia’s friend, she’d know that. These two see through “Tacky Time” and know it is a ploy to get close to Nia and cash in! “Fibbany!” Oh my goodness, they really are right!
Chelsea really is arrogant, oblivious, and delusional! She can do it all! Tootles. Tiff flips her hair at Chelsea, and Piper helps her cool off. Mean Girls fighting Mean Girls, who will end up the Queen Bee of SmackDown when the dust settles?
Jade Cargill w/ Bianca Belair VS Alba Fyre w/ Isla Dawn!
After the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match last week was thrown out because of one Blair Davenport, The Storm is coming to wash away the Firekeeper in 1v1 action. Will the StrongEST Duo just have to take the long way back to the titles? Or will something wicked this way come once again?
SmackDown returns and the Unholy Union makes their entrance. The bell rings, the fans rally up, and Fyre kicks low! Jade just scowls as she circles with Fyre. Fyre gets around to waistlock, but Jade wrenches out and knuckle locks. Jade overpowers Fyre with just one hand, then gives her a Straight Arm Lever! But fyre slips free to sunset flip! Only for Jade to PUNCH her down! The fans fire up and Jade drags Fyre right up, to ROCK her again! Jade runs in at a corner, Fyre dodges! Fyre SUPERKICKS, but Jade still comes back! Fyre wrenches and TORNADO DDTS! Cover, TWO! Fyre rains down fists on Jade!
The fans rally, Jade fights up, but Fyre ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, for an IRON OCTOPUS! Jade endures but she drops to a knee! Isla reaches out but Bianca runs over there! Isla backs off, and Jade powers out to gut wrench SLAM! Fyre flounders to a corner, Jade runs up to ELBOW her! And then SUPERKICK! Jade chicken wings Fyre for JADED! Cover, Jade wins!
Winner: Jade Cargill, by pinfall
One champion down, and Bianca stands tall with Jade! Will nothing stop Jade & Bianca- WAIT! Blair jumps in again! She and Isla fire off on Bianca & Jade while the fans boo! Fyre gets up to help out, but here comes Naomi! Now things are even, and Naomi dodges Blair to DECK Isla! Naomi BOOTS Blair, and REARVIEW for Fyre! THESZ PRESS and fast hands for Blair! Fyre & Dawn drag Naomi up, but now Jade BOOTS Fyre! And Bianca pops Dawn up for a SPIENBUSTER! Naomi runs, DROPKICK for Blair! Blair flounders, Naomi LARIATS her up and out! Blair tumbles, Fyre & Dawn help her up!
The fans fire up as #TheBig3 are reunited, will they make sure this spooky trio does a lot more than just #FeelTheGlow?
LA Knight is here!
Tulsa is immediately fired up for the NEW WWE United States Champion and that new take on his theme song. The Mega Star is so fired up himself, he almost falls off the corner when he first hops up there. Knight then gets a mic, and after hearing the fans, he says, “LEMME TALK TO YA!” SummerSlam has come and gone, and with all the answers, one question still remains. They ask Knight, it had to feel extra sweet to beat Logan Paul in his hometown, right? “YEAH!” The fans chant, “You Deserve It!” Knight says who deserves it? Logan deserved getting stomped out and that’s what he got, YEAH! “YEAH!”
But Knight didn’t care about winning in Logan’s hometown. Knight only cares about that he stood over there (on stage) not too long ago, and he said they can call him what they want, but sooner or later, you will call him, “Champ.” And at long last, he has arrived! The fans cheer that! Knight says he is a FRESH United States Champ. Why? Because he makes it that way! So what’s that mean? He understands that this belt makes him a marked man. But understand something, he’s been that since he walked into SmackDown! All this means is the game is the same. SummerSLam, Knight hits it ‘n’ quits it, and on to the next.
And with the next, he’ll hit it ‘n’ quit it! And what’ll he do with the next one after that? Hit it ‘n’ quit it! Knight cannot stop his kevorka, he can’t stop being US Champion, with everybody saying, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!” But wait, here comes The Emperor of Lucha and his Legado Del Fantasma. Santos has a mic to tell Knight, “Congratulations. Felicidades. Hey, I mean it. I mean it!” The fans boo but Santos tells them they suck, and that Knight sucks! But seriously, truly, it’s not every day a guy like Knight finally gets his taste of gold. But let’s be honest, this whole “LA Knight as a champion” thing? Nah, Santos doesn’t buy it. Not a good fit.
Knight’s time in the spotlight will be good, but it will be a fleeting moment. His chase, his grind, his battle, and ultimately, his glory will be nothing but an opening act to Santos’ reign. You listen up to this: that’s not just the truth, but a fact of life! Because Santos is the one that deserves to be THE United States champion, with everybody saying, “ES-CO-BAR! SI!!” The fans boo Santos’ lame ripoff, and Knight says he wasn’t listening to a damn thing Santos said because Tulsa was saying Santos sucks. The fans cheer that!
But that word, “deserve.” What Santos deserves is getting the brakes beat off of him one more time! Santos has to be sick of getting that from Knight, but Knight will do it again if he has to. But if we’re talking about what everyone knows, from Knight to Santos to Tulsa, to get a shot at the title, Santos has to earn it. A certain someone will be out here in a minute, but if it’s that guy, Santos or someone on Santos’ goof squad, ain’t none of them are taking this title off Knight. Not because they’re not good enough, but because Knight won’t let ’em! With everybody saying, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!!” Mic drop from The Mega Star, and here comes El Idolo!
Andrade is just as hungry to get a championship back around his waist, and if he settles things with the leader of Legado, that’s just icing on the cake. Will this be Andrade’s time? Or will Santos earn one more shot at Knight? We find out, after the break.
Giovanni Vinci speaks.
In Italian, he tells us, “The best part about the past… is that it’s behind you. There are no losses, only lessons. Nobody should think success is a given, but I know it is my destiny. I have become the man I was always meant to be. A Man who knows no limits and accepts no shortcuts. Skiing the Italian Alps, or speeding on the track, I do it with style. Soon, I will bring that same relentless drive to SmackDown. Veni, Vidi, Vinci!” When and where will The Pride of Italy make his return?
WWE United States Championship #1 Contender’s Match: Andrade VS Santos Escobar!
SmackDown returns and this match is already going! Santos powers out of a headlock but Andrade runs him over! The fans cheer, things keep moving, and Santos hurdles. Andrade rolls off Santos’ back to rebound and LARIAT! The fans cheer and Andrade stalks Santos. Santos goes to the apron so Andrade PLANCHAS! Down goes Santos and the fans fire up! Andrade stands Santos up, puts him in the ring, but Santos distracts the ref! Angel & Berto trip Andrade up, then SUPERKICK him down! Angel & Berto put Andrade back in for Santos to KNEE down!

Santos climbs up after Andrade, fires hands, but Andrade hits back! They’re on the very top now, for a SUPER- NO, Andrade fights with body shots! They go to the second rope, Andrade SUPER SUNSET BOMBS!! Both men are down, Tulsa is thunderous again, and SmackDown goes to break!
SmackDown returns as Santos grinds Andrade down with a CAMEL CLUTCH! Andrade endures, fights up, and the fans rally. Andrade fires body shots, runs, and CLOBBERS Santos!

Santos wags his finger, but Andrade goes up, up and ASAI MOONSAULTS! Down goes Santos and the fans are thunderous!
Elektra Lopez is worried as Andrade puts Santos in. Andrade climbs again, and he CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO!! Santos is still in this, to La Madrina’s relief.

Melo grins as he gives Santos the assist. Santos insists he is going to own this game, but will he just fail to stop LA Knight again? And as for Melo, is he going to make Andrade deal with H1M in one more match?
WWE mourns the loss of Kevin Sullivan.
An innovative mind who helped shape the landscape of pro-wrestling, Kevin burst onto the scene in the 1970s and never looked back. Tough and stout from the bad streets of Boston, his “dark and manic behavior” made him into a sinister presence, and a “Taskmaster” for the business that he loved. A major villain to some of the greatest heroes, such as Sting, The Road Warriors, Dusty Rhodes, and even Hulk Hogan, he was also a creative mind behind the scenes, remembered for his innovation, dedication, and profound love for the industry. He was a man ahead of his time, a great friend, and a loving family man. His passion for the craft and his impact on those around him will never be forgotten.
DIY walk ‘n’ talk.
Tommaso Ciampa says he and Johnny Gargano knew coming to SmackDown meant walking into Bloodline territory, Bloodline Rules. They seem to run things a little differently around here. And last week in Cleveland, they stole those tag team titles. Johnny Wrestling lost in his hometown, in front of his family and his two-year-old son, and that is something they will never forget. So they are going to show they will do whatever it takes to get back their WWE Tag Team Championships. That starts with Pretty Deadly. This isn’t a musical, this is Day One of the DIY Redemption Story! Tulsa, it’s game time!
A-Town Down Under visits Aldis’ office.
Waller calls to “Nichoals~” as he and Theory step in. Did Aldis have a good time at SummerSlam? Because THEY didn’t! They get attacked by Jelly Roll for absolutely no reason, then Aldis sends them to Monday Night Raw to save that show but also work on their day off, and then they had to qualify for a tag title match? That’s ridiculous! Apparently, if you complain in here, you get whatever you want, so that’s what they’ll do. Theory says that seems to be how simple it is around here. Like, you just ask for Waller VS Kevin Owens, and it happens. Whoa, wait, who and Kevin Owens?
Aldis stands up and says that’s a great idea! Thanks, Theory! Next week, Waller VS Kevin, 1v1! Waller asks what Theory was doing. Theory says trust him, he’s got Waller’s back like Waller has his. Right, yeah, of course. Kevin, what a ridiculous idea, Nick- Wait, where’d he go? Waller is left alone, but will Theory really help him bring down The Prizefighter?
WWE Tag Team Championships #1 Contenders Match Qualifier: #DIY VS Pretty Deadly!
SmackDown returns and #YESBOY, Pretty Deadly makes their entrance. The teams sort out and Gargano starts against Kit Wilson. They tie up, go around, and Kit puts Gargano in the Pretty Deadly corner. Elton Prince tags in, but Gargano dodges Kit. Pretty Deadly runs up but Ciampa jumps in. The teams have a standoff, Pretty Deadly take a swing! DIY dodge, fire hands, then whip. Pretty Deadly reverses but DIY avoid the dropkicks! Then Gargano TOSSES Elton while Ciampa has Kit by the legs. Ciampa CATAPULTS Kit up and out onto Elton! The fans fire up, DIY build speed, but Pretty Deadly DOUBLE UPPERCUT!
Pretty Deadly say “Pretty Deadly, The Musical~! Yes Boy~!” But then DIY DOUBLE DROPKICK them down! Then DOUBLE PLANCHA! The fans fire up with DIY as they clap and pat themselves on the back, and Smackdown goes to break.

Winners: DIY, by pinfall (advance to the #1 contenders match)
Pretty Deadly want a musical but Ciampa & Gargano got a revival! They’re coming for those titles, but will they make it through The Profits to get there?
Solo Sikoa is at gorilla position.
Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa report in. They’ve been waiting all night on Roman Reigns, but he’s still not here. Solo says don’t worry, Roman will be here. The Bloodline goes to the ring, because they’re going to wait on THE Tribal Chief. However, Solo still wears the red ula fala, so clearly he still questions Roman’s right to the throne. Solo, Tama & Loa raise up the ones, as well as both tag team titles, and if Roman is still to appear, we’ll see him appear, after the break.
SmackDown returns once more as Solo has the mic. He tells Tulsa, Oklahoma, “ACKNOWLEDGE ME!” The fans boo, there’s some censoring going on, and fans also chant, “WE WANT ROMAN!” Solo tells Roman Reigns, “In case you haven’t noticed, I’m the Tribal Chief now.” The fans boo that in disagreement. But Solo says if Roman calls himself The Tribal Chief and he wants the ula fala back, then come take it from Solo! The fans are rowdy as Solo waits, and yes! Here comes THE Head of the Table, the ONE TRUE CHIEF, Roman… Reigns! Tulsa is electric as Roman stands on stage, and the pyro is unleashed!
Roman stares down Solo, Tama & Loa, and then he steps forward. Solo tells his men to step up, so Tama runs up, to get a LARIAT! Roman beats Tama down but Loa rushes in! Roman RAMS Loa into steel steps! The fans are thunderous as Roman pulls the steps apart, to JAM Loa up! And then SLAMS the steps on Tama! The fans are losing their minds for the “O T C! O T C!” Now Roman only has Solo left to deal with. Roman steps up to the apron, and Solo takes off his suit jacket. Chief stares down chief and the fans are thunderous! Roman runs up, and he fires hands on Solo! The fans are electric but Solo BOOTS Roman!
Solo runs, into a SUPERMAN PUNCH!! The fans are erupting as Roman aims from a corner! All together, “OOOAH~!!” But Loa & Tama get Solo outta there! But Solo forgot the ula fala! Roman steps over to it, picks it up, and the fans are electric again, until Tama & Loa CLOBBER Roman! They beat Roman down, and Tama hurries to get the ula fala back to Solo. Loa RAMS Roman into the corner again and again, and then Tama hypes him up. Loa runs, into a SUPERMAN PUNCH! SUPERMAN PUNCH for Tama! Roman glares at Solo, reloads in the corner, “OOOAH~!!” SPEAR for Loa!!
The fans are thunderous all over again as Roman stands tall. Roman steps outside, and he grins as he sees another target. “OOOAH~!” and Roman runs in, to SPEAR Tama through barriers!! The fans are going nuts, Roman grabs a chair, and he brings it back to Loa! To SMACK him on the back! And again! And again! And again! Solo watches as Roman tees off on Loa! Solo taunts Roman with the ula fala because that is what Roman wants! Roman JAMS the chair into Loa again and again and again! Solo still insists HE is the chief, but he’s without his henchmen. There can only be one, and will THE one be none other than Roman Reigns?
My Thoughts:
A great follow-up episode to SummerSlam here, and Tulsa was definitely the right crowd for it. Tulsa was pretty much red hot from start to finish, especially for Roman’s return. Really good opening segment from Cody to give Bloodline an excuse to be out there, which was then an excuse for Kevin Owens to be out there. It’s fitting that while Randy is going for the World Heavyweight Championship on Raw, Kevin gets a match with Cody for the Undisputed WWE Championship. And I do appreciate that Roman Reigns was used as the way to goad Kevin into accepting this opportunity. With the match made, I feel there is a strong possibility Kevin turns Heel through feelings of being undeserving, yet also his desire to become champion again.
And Solo Sikoa of course called out Roman tonight. Roman put himself on a new power level as he soloed Solo & The Guerillas of Destiny. We’ve still got a ways to go before Survivor Series WarGames 2024 and what is most likely Bloodline Civil War, but Solo’s Bloodline will certainly have split focus because of the tag titles. We got great tag team matches to head towards a contenders match, but quite the surprising move to have both Face teams win out. ATDU complaining to Aldis and being self-aware that complaining gets stuff was a good promo, and I feel like maybe, just maybe, Theory is setting Waller up and we’re closer to the ATDU break-up.
DIY has another solid walk ‘n’ talk promo, a great main event with Pretty Deadly, and now that we’re getting DIY VS Profits, that is very intriguing. Now, we saw Loa holding onto the tag title in Jacob Fatu’s place, so maybe The Bloodline is going to play some kind of Freebird Rules here? That’d make sense on some level, and honestly, we do need Guerillas of Destiny VS DIY and Guerillas of Destiny VS Street Profits to happen. Also, may I say that as logical as it was for Kevin and Randy to help Cody at SummerSlam, the way DIY was talking tonight, why couldn’t DIY have gotten involved? They have beef with Bloodline, they want the tag titles, they could’ve been a nice surprise for “Team Cody” that night.
That same logic is clearly going on in the other title stories on SmackDown. Jade of course beat Fyre in quick fashion, but of course Blair rushed out there to help Fyre & Dawn beat up Jade & Bianca, and then Naomi rushed out there to help Jade & Bianca. As we’ve been seeing on both Raw and SmackDown, the Women’s Division is forming up factions, we’ll definitely get a Six Woman Tag over here to parallel the Six Woman Tag building on Raw. And after a great promo from Knight with Santos, we got an awesome match of Andrade VS Santos. Good of Corbin & Crews to clear out Angel & Berto, but also it made sense for Melo to screw Andrade over. We’ll definitely get more out of all those match-ups, and Knight VS Santos will be a great first defense for Knight.
And while I was sure some sort of championship celebration was advertised for tonight, it seems they’ll worry about it next week. That gave Tiff a good promo to have with Pretty Deadly but also Chelsea & Piper. Between these interactions and Tiff being aimed at the title thanks to the MITB briefcase, it feels like Tiff could end up a Face (or essentially a Tweener) and take that title at some big event and the fans would be more than accepting of it. But maybe we get a tag match of Nia & Tiff VS Chelsea & Piper first, that feels like a really good match.
My Score: 8.7/10

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! Hobbs even gets Konosuke to back down with a glare. Hobbs brings Cage up to fire forearms, then he tags Davis. Davis & Hobbs double whip and DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up as Davis stalks Cage to a corner. Davis CHOPS Cage, and CHOPS again! And CHOPS again! Cage sputters but Davis scoops to SLAM Cage down! Then ELBOW DROP! Cover, ONE! Cage stays in this but Davis bumps him off buckles.
Tag to Hobbs and he brings Cage out. Hobbs and Davis reel Cage in, fans chant “AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE! MEAT MEAT MEAT!” but Konosuke makes the save!

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.

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!

Holiday Bash returns and Willow CANNONBALLS, but Harley dodges! Willow hits only buckles and she hobbles after Harley. Harley kicks, KNEES, and ENZIGIRIS! Harley roars, runs, and SHINING WIZARDS! Cover, TWO! The fans fire up but Harley grows frustrated. The fans rally while Harley waistlocks, but Willow switches! Harley kicks free to switch back, but Willow ELBOWS Harley back! 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 drags Komander off the ropes, suplexes, but Komander slips around! SLEEPER! Big men still have to breathe, but Brody RAMS Komander into the buckles!

Komander bobs ‘n’ weaves, kicks, mule kicks and ENZIGIRIS! Brody wobbles and the fans rally up! Komander knuckle locks, CHOPS, and he goes up and up and jumps around! But Brody breaks the grip and DOUBLE CHOPS Komander to the floor! The fans bark it up and the ref checks Komander while Rampage goes picture in picture.
Brody storms out after Komander, who is somehow still in this. Brody drags Komander up, and he whips Komander hard into railing! Brody revels in the DC dogs barking, and Brody stands Komander up. Brody CHOPS Komander off his feet, then refreshes the ring count. Brody drags Komander up, and whips him hard into railing! So hard, in fact, that Komander goes up and over! Brody hurries to haul Komander back up, and he suplexes Komander to the floor! Komander writhes more while Brody refreshes the count again. Brody goes back to Komander, scuffs him, and brings him back up.
Komander KICKS Brody, CHOPS, but Brody CHOPS him down! Brody revels in the noise from DC while he stands on Komander’s neck! The ref reprimands, Brody steps off and rolls into the ring. Brody again refreshes the count so he can fetch Komander. Brody puts Komander in the ring, covers, TWO! Komander is still in this but Brody is more amused than anything.

Another direct hit and Komander feels so close to his first points in the C2!
Komander hurries to get in the ring, but then slides out to start a new ring count. Komander climbs again while Brody rises. Komander watches Brody slide in, then tightrope walks to CIELITO LINDO!! But that was on Brody’s back! Komander pushes Brody but that’s a lot of dead weight to push! Brody sits up but Komander KICKS him! Komander roars, the fans fire up, handspring- TORTURE RACK! 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

Solo Sikoa is here!
The fans boo as the “Undisputed” Tribal Chief leads the Samoan Werewolf and Good Bad Guy to the ring. Roman Reigns put out the challenge for Tribal Combat, and on January 6th, in Los Angeles, for the first-ever Monday Night Raw on Netflix, it will happen! But first, Solo and his Bloodline go to the ring, and the fans chant “O T C! O T C!” Solo tells them all, “ACKNOWLEDGE ME.” The fans boo instead, as expected. Solo lets that slide, and he says, “Roman Reigns sat on his little boat with The Wise Man and decided to challenge me on January 6th to a Tribal Combat match for the ula fala on Monday Night Raw, the debut on Netflix.”
The fans “WHAT?” Solo says instead of saying that, the fans should ACKNOWLEDGE HIM. The fans boo more, but Solo says shut your mouths and listen to what THE Tribal Chief has to say! The fans continue to boo and they continue to chant, “O T C! O T C!” Solo tells Roman that if he wants Tribal Combat, if he wants to take THE Tribal Chief to war, then let’s do it! Solo will leave his Bloodline behind, “WHAT?” Roman will leave his behind, “WHAT?” They’ll leave the Wise Man behind. “WHAT?” Jimmy and Jey, too. So listen and listen carefully: On January 6th, Solo walks in and walks OUT as THE Tribal Chief!
The fans boo more but Solo says on January 6th, he will STILL be the Head of the Table! He will STILL be YOUR Tribal Chief! And he will STILL have the ula fala! So Roman, after Solo beats your ass in LA, Roman can go back out on his little boat, sail off to the Island of Irrelevancy, and Roman can finally ACKNOWLEDGE SOLO. But wait! Drew McIntyre is here!? The Scottish Terminator has already hit Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso and Sami Zayn, but let’s not forget Solo was chief among those who screwed McIntyre out of the world championship. Solo has Jacob Fatu & Tama Tonga stand down as McIntyre goes to the ring.
McIntyre grabs a mic but Solo tells him, “I gotta admit, I was very happy when you kicked my brother, Jimmy, in the face last week. Yes, I was very, very happy. But you better have a damn good reason why you’re interrupting me.” McIntyre says he’ll make it quick because it causes McIntyre physical pain to be this close to Solo and not beating Solo within an inch of his life. You like what McIntyre did to Jimmy? What about Sami and Jey? McIntyre wants to know, when Solo lies in bed at night, is he asking when McIntyre is coming after him? Because Solo is the one that cost McIntyre the title at Clash at the Castle.
Solo is the one who caused McIntyre’s family the pain and misery that caused him more pain and misery! But Solo also stood up to Roman Reigns. The only one to have the balls to stand up to Roman! The rest of them acted tough, acted like they were going to do something, but Roman snapped his fingers, didn’t change one bit. McIntyre’s heart says jump Solo, but McIntyre’s head says he and Solo have the same goal. So here’s what McIntyre is thinking: McIntyre can start working through the hit list, taking out more and more OG Bloodline members, and Solo does one thing for him: Take out Roman for good.
The fans boo but McIntyre says once all that business is finished, then he and Solo can settle theirs. But then JIMMY yanks McIntyre out of the ring! And CRACKS him with the crutch! And again! And then he runs up to CLOBBER McIntyre! McIntyre goes running into the crowd, Jimmy does his best to pursue, but now here comes LA Knight, Apollo Creed & Andrade! The Bloodline has a Six Man Tag on their hands, will Knight even let Solo make it to LA?
Six Man Tag: The Bloodline VS LA Knight, Apollo Creed & Andrade!

Andrade is frustrated now as Jacob survives again! Andrade thinks on what to do, and he brings Jacob up. Andrade fires forearms but Jacob grabs Andrade’s neck! Andrade fights free and fires more shots, but Solo sneaks a tag!

It seems Drew McIntyre isn’t the only one who is surprisingly on Solo’s side. The sinister samurai made sure to strike from the shadows to screw over Knight, will Knight make sure Nakamura comes to regret it? As for Solo, he is rolling towards the Raw Netflix debut, will he not need his Bloodline to retain the ula fala?
Backstage interview with Motor City Machine Guns.
Byron Saxton is with Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin ahead of the emotional grudge match. Shelley takes on his former friend, student, and the man who betrayed MCMG to take those WWE Tag Team Championships. That man is Johnny Gargano, so what thoughts are flowing through Shelley’s mind? Shelley says it is one thought: Payback. Sabin says they’ve known Gargano almost 20 YEARS, and only now does Gargano let the mask fall away to show us the truth. Shelley says it cuts a lot deeper when it’s someone you considered a little brother. Shelley tells Johnny that he makes sure Gargano knows he made the BIGGEST mistake of his life.
Sabin asks Shelley if he’s ready to do this. Shelley says this is something he has to do alone. He wants to see if Gargano is man enough to do the same. Sabin says okay, let’s get warmed up. Shelley wants a 1v1 shootout with Johnny Wrestling, but will Gargano do anything but do this himself?
SmackDown shares footage from after Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Byron Saxton was with Chelsea Green & Piper Niven and said before anything else, congratulations. Chelsea pats herself on the back, Piper pats Chelsea a bit, too, and Byron takes her back through the closing moments. Unpretty-Her on Michin, the bell rings, and we hear Lilian Garcia say the words, “AND NEW Women’s United States Champion, Chelsea Green.” What went through her mind? Chelsea takes out her gum and puts it in “Bryan’s” hand, and then tells him that she always knew this would happen. He might be surprised, and that’s so cute, but she wasn’t. She’s been doing this for ten YEARS, and worked her entire life to be an overnight success.
This is Chelsea’s time! Red, white and Green! Say it with her, Bryan! #RedWhiteAndGreen. So then, let’s talk the historical significance. Chelsea will now go down in the history books as the FIRST-EVER Women’s US Champion, so how does she’s now synonymous with the likes of Harley Race, the first-ever Men’s US Champion? She would say, “Duh.” She’s in the books where she belongs. Probably should’ve been three years ago, but she was released. It should’ve been way back in 2015, but she wasn’t hired. So now is the time. NOW IS THE FREAKIN’ TIME!! Yes, it is her time. What does a Chelsea Green reign look like going forward?
Chelsea says it looks like she’s going to Disneyland, so she’s got a plane to catch. Can they wrap this up? Of course. Have fun in Disneyland. Yes, well-deserved. Piper calls for champagne. Will we never hear the end of this now that Chelsea has gold to go with the ego?
Kevin Owens speaks.
“What happened after Saturday Night’s Main Event was not my fault. There’s a lot of people to blame for it. Cody Rhodes, the referees, Nick Aldis, WWE Management, they’re all to blame. I was screwed out of winning that championship. What happened to me is a travesty, a tragedy! I should be standing here Undisputed WWE Champion, but I’m not. But I took this (the Winged Eagle belt) because I deserve it. And I’m not giving it back until I get what i want. Everyone needs to understand, you can only push a man so much until they snap. But the good news is, I haven’t snapped yet.
“It can all get so much worse, trust me. You don’t want me to snap. So Cody, Nick Aldis, WWE officials, what happens next is on all of you.” The Prizefighter has said his piece, will he hold the championship hostage until his demands are met?
DIY talks backstage.
Ciampa gets it, Gargano’s known MCMG a long time. So it surprises Ciampa that Shelley is so dumb! He wants this grudge match but he can’t win the tag titles back in a singles match. So what’s he doing? Gargano says Shelley wants his payback, that’s obvious. But Shelley wants to challenge Gargano’s manhood?! Gargano is all man! He made a kid! Yeah, Papa John, Daddy Ciampa, of course they made kids. But Shelley did specify that he wants to do this on his own, so Ciampa knows what that means, right? Ciampa has to stay backstage, too. Gargano will handle business by himself. He’s not some naive 18-year-old kid with a dream anymore! Dream came true!
Gargano will go remind Shelley that he’s Johnny Freakin’ Wrestling! So Ciampa can just relax right back here. Ciampa says go get him! Ciampa won’t even move a muscle from here, you can trust him. Can he? Or is this all another facade to lower everyone’s guard?
It’s an all new Grayson Waller Effect!
A-Town Down Under is already in the ring, and fans boo as Austin Theory & Grayson Waller show off the abs. Waller then welcomes us to the Grayson Waller- And Austin Theory…! Effect. The hottest show keeps getting hotter cuz Waller gets scoop after scoop, lads. And tonight is a big scoop! A big, BIG scoop! The first transfer from Raw to SmackDown, it’s the Monster of All Monsters, BRAUN STROWMAN! The fans cheer as Braun makes his way to the ring, and he’s coming out as Santa Braun! Or perhaps, Strowman Claus? Either way, Braun throws free merchandise to the fans, what a gift for Christmas!
Braun empties the bag and then goes to the ring. Turns out, nothing for Waller & Theory! Waller sits behind the desk and thanks Braun for coming. And how nice of Braun to help all the poor here in Hartford. The fans boo and Braun asks if Waller’s really starting this like that. Is he really trying to piss Braun off already? No no no! Braun is right, it really is nice. And this is big! The biggest acquisition in SmackDown history! On the biggest talk show in WWE history! Braun says it doesn’t get any bigger than this, baby! The fans cheer and Waller says before we start, he knows how this goes, sometimes.
Waller just wants us to know that he invested a lot of money into the new set. Maybe we continue to spread Christmas cheer and have a civil conversation. No damage. Well, if Waller runs his mouth, then Braun can promise he’ll wear Waller out using all the stuff in here. Waller says he’s a bit surprised Braun agreed to this. If no one has said before, but Braun is a little intimidating. But the more Waller thought about it, the more it made sense. Even Braun sees the sense in associating with ATDU! The fans boo and Braun says he threw up a little bit in his mouth, and that get a good laugh.
Waller says okay, but SmackDown’s a bit scary right now. Bloodline is going wild, people are getting attacked backstage, and you don’t wanna be alone in the car park. Sorry, parking lot. Braun asks if Waller knows who he’s talking to. No, he didn’t mean anything by it. Waller just figures, it’d be a good idea if Braun looked after Braun for once. And that means setting up the ultimate alliance. Braun Strowman & A-Town Down Under as the same team! They’d be untouchable! The cunning and intelligence of Waller & Theory, Braun’s strength. Get it? Brains & Braun. Braun says he already told Waller to watch his mouth! Does Waller want his set shoved up his-
Wait! Carmelo Hayes makes his way out here! Braun sighs and Melo says no, no, no, cut this out. Melo has a bone to pick with Braun. Aldis thought he was going to humble Melo by setting him up against Braun. Everybody here knows that that wasn’t fair. But newsflash, Nick Aldis, you can’t humble greatness! Melo might lose, but he’ll never quit. So Braun, “you big ugly dumb Santa Claus b*tch,” let’s run this thing back right here, right now! Cuz now, Melo’s ready! Braun says if Melo didn’t learn his lesson last week, Braun will remind him what the Braun Strowman Effect is! Waller & Theory run away as Braun grabs the fake palm trees!
Braun CHUCKS trees at Melo but Melo just laughs. Will Melo not miss the game winner in this rematch? Or will Braun be the one to humble H1M?
Braun Strowman VS Carmelo Hayes!
SmackDown returns and the bell rings. Braun chuckles at Melo wanting to tie up. They do tie up but then Melo slips around to KICK the leg! Braun just brushes that off as he and Melo circle. Melo uses the ropes and even the ref as a shield so Braun backs off. Melo comes back, taunts Braun, then drops back to ropes. The ref wants Braun to let off, and Braun does, but then Melo sucker punches him! Melo talks smack, then whips, but Braun blocks! B raun shakes his head, whips Melo, but Melo ducks ‘n’ dodges ‘n’ slides out. Melo says safe! Melo says he’s smart, but then gets spooked as Braun storms up to ropes!
The ref has Braun stay back, and Melo gets cocky again. Braun signals to the fans that he’s taking a lap and the fans fire up. Braun goes outside, builds speed, but Melo runs! Melo slides into the ring, Braun gets on the apron, but Melo KICKS him! The fans boo but Melo hits the FADE AWAY! Braun flounders, Melo CLUBS and KNEES and repeat! Braun SHOVES Melo out of the ring! Braun shakes it off then storms back up on Melo. Braun YANKS Melo up by his hair! And then he TOSSES Melo across the way! The fans fire up and Braun drags Melo up again. Braun whips, Melo dropkicks the legs out! Braun falls, Melo runs, FADE AWAY, but into Braun’s hands!
Braun pops Melo up, but Melo SPIKE-RANAS! Braun sputters and Melo soaks up heat. Braun rises up like the monster he is! Melo turns around, Braun runs up, but Melo DUMPS Braun out! Melo BOOTS Braun away, then gets cocky again. Melo goes out the side and he runs up a la Braun. But Braun BOOTS Melo right down! The fans fire up and Braun looms over Melo. Braun drags Melo up, whips him at steps, but Melo goes up! Melo leaps, but into Braun’s arms! We’re at 7 of 10 as Melo slips free! Melo SLAPS Braun! Braun grabs Melo by the neck and TOSSES him into the ring! We’re at 10!! MELO WINS!
Winner: Carmelo Hayes, by count out
Talk about rope-a-dope! Melo steals this win by getting the better of Braun’s anger! Braun scowls at smart-aleck Melo, and he storms in! Melo runs out to the crowd and into the night, but Braun pursues! Will Melo #GetTheseHands one way or another?
Nia Jax and Candice LeRae talk backstage.
They’re both excited for the tag title match tonight, because Nia can become a double champion. Tiffany Stratton walks in and Nia says there she is! Tiff wishes them luck tonight, and cannot wait to be there ringside when the ref raises their hands. Nia gets a guilty look on her face and Candice tells Tiff that they were talking… It’s best if Tiff stays in the back. But hey, she can take some notes if she wants. And if she wants to help, she can prepare champagne, balloons and maybe even streamers. They’re gonna need all that after the big win. So Tiff should get on that while Candice & Nia strategize.
Tiff looks to Nia but Nia just says, “Thanks, Tiff.” Tiff leaves, Nia shrugs off the guilt and says she and Candice are ready. Candice is sure Tiff will have the most beautiful party ready for them. Will the Irresistible Force & Poison Pixie succeed in taking the tag titles for their own? Or will it be Bianca & Naomi having that champagne to celebrate?
Melo returns backstage.
And he’s on high alert knowing Braun is still hunting him down. Melo bumps into Legado Del Fantasma, and then Braun storms up! Braun asks where Melo went. Santos Escobar says screw that, he’s no snitch. Braun says not telling is gonna get Santos worse. Angel steps in and says Melo went that way. Braun thanks Angel and storms off after Melo. But then Pretty Deadly asks Braun to please read through their script. Braun slaps the script down and says he doesn’t care about their stupid musical! But then Melo SMACKS Braun with a chair! And SMACKS him again! Melo talks trash before heading out, but Braun gets back up.
Braun is angrier than ever, and he still hunts Melo down! Is there going to be nothing left of H1M after Braun #GetsTheseHands on him?
Johnny Gargano VS Alex Shelley!
Longtime friendships thrown away in order to get ahead is practically cliche in pro-wrestling, but to think Johnny Wrestling would be the kind to do that. Will Shelley make Gargano regret ever treating 20 YEARS like it was nothing?
The bell rings and Gargano runs up! Shelley dodges to fire hands, then he bumps Gargano off buckles. Shelley stomps a mudhole in, then stands Gargano up to dig his forearm in! The ref counts, Shelley lets off, then he climbs up to rain down fists! Gargano YANKS Shelley down! Shelley flounders, Gargano CHOPS Shelley to a corner, then he mocks the MCMG hand pointing. Gargano CHOPS Shelley, ROCKS him, then wrenches him to whip corner to corner. Gargano runs up but Shelley ELBOWS him away! Shelley goes up to FLYING KNEE! And then he CLOBBERS Gargano! The fans fire up as Shelley drags Gargano up.
Shelley wrenches, hammerlocks, but Gargano elbows free! Gargano brings Shelley around to schoolboy ROUNDHOUSE! Shelley sputters, Gargano brings him up, and Gargano says he’s no longer the student. Gargano ROCKS Shelley, stomps away, but stops as the ref counts. Gargano soaks up heat, then shakes out his left hand before he runs up. Shelley puts Gargano on the apron to HOTSHOT! Gargano falls, Shelley aims, and Shelley slingshots to stomp Gargano’s bad hand! Gargano staggers away, but runs back up on Shelley, only for Shelley to jump the sweep! SUPERKICK! Then FLYING KNEE!
The fans fire up while Gargano goes down, and Shelley says that’s what Gargano gets while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and Gargano has Shelley in a clinch. Gargano fires body shots, then he hits a JAWBREAKER! Gargano goes to a corner, Shelley runs up, but Gargano BOOTS back! Gargano runs up and slips around Shelley to SLINGBLADE BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Gargano is frustrated but he stalks Shelley to the apron.

But wait, here comes Sabin! Ciampa violated the deal first so Sabin’s not letting him do worse!
Gargano climbs up while Sabin chases Ciampa off, but Shelley SHOVES Gargano! CROSSBODY! Gargano rolls through, and pulls tights! Gargano wins!!
Winner: Johnny Gargano, by pinfall
Distraction tactic and pulling the tights? Gargano has no shame! But he and Ciampa have the WWE Tag Team Championships, so is that all that matters?
Backstage interview with Bianca Belair & Naomi.
Byron Saxton is at gorilla with The EST & The Glow, and before they head to the ring, he wants to recap the crazy couple of weeks. The mysterious attack on Jade Cargill, the big win at Survivor Series in WarGames, and now they can solidify themselves as WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Bianca says these past few weeks have been rough to say the least. And while you can trust Bianca will find out what happened to Jade, you best believe they won’t be stripped of the tag titles. That’s just what the culprit wants and Bianca isn’t going down without a fight. Thankfully, Bianca has a friend who always has her back.
Naomi says yeah, she’s got her back forever! And she can never turn down a good “snatch ‘n’ drag.” But she also knows how important these titles are to Bianca & Jade, and they’re just as important to her. Naomi will go out there and do everything she has to in order to keep the titles. Bianca holds out Jade’s belt to Naomi, but Naomi says no. Not until she’s earned it.

Tiff’s hesitation costs Nia, and that means Naomi has earned that title belt! Bianca personally hands it to her and the two celebrate together. Will they hold onto the titles all the way ’til Jade is back in action? Or will a team come along that outshines even the StrongEST Glow?
My Thoughts:
A great episode of SmackDown here, though I think it was also prerecorded. They were in Hartford last week, weren’t they? And I thought that was prerecorded given how Jimmy Uso’s promo was received… But speaking of, good stuff from Bloodline to open. McIntyre calling a true with Solo was a bit of a surprise, but I suppose we should’ve seen that coming with how McIntyre is a Heel and often a hypocrite. Jimmy going after McIntyre was also good stuff, he can clearly still be a factor even with a bad toe. Very good Six Man Tag, too, but I should’ve known Nakamura would interfere and cost Knight’s team. Good win for Solo, and we’ve still got a couple weeks before Raw on Netflix, so the go-home math will still sort out with the first SmackDown of 2025.
Very good promos from MCMG and DIY, and of course Ciampa still went out to ringside despite the “promise” he made. And of course Gargano cheated, but that adds heat to the coming tag title rematch. They might even put that on the first SmackDown of 2025 to hype it up. Especially as I think it’s going to be the first THREE HOUR SmackDown. NBC is willing to do that knowing Raw is going to Netflix, meaning SmackDown will get more time to do more great things, which works with all the belts we’ve got now.
Good stuff with Braun and the Grayson Waller Effect, but of course we set up more between Braun and Melo. Clever move for Melo to win by count out, and of course Melo gets cocky for it. Braun was almost classic Braun with how he shrugged the chair shots off backstage. We’ll of course get one more Braun VS Melo, and maybe someone from Legado or Pretty Deadly screws Braun over given how he treated them. Very good promo from Chelsea after her big win on Saturday, and I’m sure she’ll be celebrating this win in both kayfabe and real-life through the holidays, ready to start her first title feud on January 3rd.
Very good promo from Kevin Owens, but I feel like he had to contradict himself here from what he said during the Raw on Netflix “kickoff show” on Wednesday. Kevin said then that he’s going to act as the defending champion with the holiday house show tour, but he said here he isn’t the champion since he got screwed. Either way, he’ll really play up how he is somehow the victim in all this, making the return of Cody Rhodes all the better. We’ll surely get one last match of Cody VS Kevin, maybe with a big stipulation on it, and then we’ll have a moment of (more than likely) Cody holding up both Winged Eagle and corporate logo championships.
And of course, very good stuff in the two main Smackdown women’s stories. That promo from Nia, Candice and Tiff was really good because you kinda feel for Tiff being treated as the odd one out. And then very good promo right before the match with Bianca & Naomi. I like Naomi wanting to earn the belt, and we got a great tag match. Nia surely got busted open “hard way,” aka legitimately, that post surely has edges you gotta watch out for. But Tiff showing up was of course for the briefcase distraction, not cashing in. Tiff hasn’t been pushed that far yet, that might come with the Netflix debut. But Naomi & Bianca of course retained the titles, that’ll cue up Jade making a return to identify her attacker, and it might be Naomi after all…
My Score: 8.8/10
