PLAY BY PLAY
Welcome to WWE commentary, Joe Tessitore!
Rhea Ripley is here!
The Terror Twins didn’t just win against Dominik Mysterio & Liv Morgan at Bash In Berlin, they outright dominated The Judgment Day despite it being two against five. And now, with Denver going wild, Rhea gets a mic to welcome them to “Monday Night Mami~!” The fans cheer and Rhea says it is so good to be able to say that again. And what was even better was when she and Damian Priest absolutely brutalized Dom & Liv! The fans chant for “MAMI! MAMI!” Rhea smiles, and says they’re not done! She and Priest are just getting started! At Bash In Berlin, Rhea pinned the Women’s World Champion, so it is about time she gets back what she never really lost.
So Liv Morgan, if you’re as tough as you pretend to be- Well, well, well, here comes Dirty Dom! Rhea mocks the shiner he’s got in the left eye, and then mockingly waits to hear him talk. Denver boos while Dom tries to say Liv isn’t here. Dom tells the fans to shut up, but Rhea says no one wants to hear him anyway. Just go back to get his little girlfriend before Rhea gives him another black eye! Dom says Liv is not here, she is still recovering from what Rhea did to her. The fans tell Dom, “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” Dom shouts back at them, then says Rhea and Priest took advantage of Dom & Liv! They had jetlag, and had no sleep, though for multiple reasons.
But Dom is here to let us know, Liv WILL accept the challenge! The fans again chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” Dom says that though Liv is banged up, she’s not afraid! Liv’s beat Rhea before, and she’ll do it again! And after Dom wins the Intercontinental Championship, then he and Liv will both have gold! Rhea says she’ll put this in a way Dom will understand: Callete, estupido! The fans cheer, and Rhea says if brave little Liv doesn’t wanna come out here, then Dom can relay a message for her. Rhea will take Liv on any time, any place! Oh, any time? And any place? Mate, don’t make Rhea repeat herself.
But wait, here comes iv! Rhea ELBOWS Liv down, she knew the cheap shot was coming! And then Rhea chases Dom! Rhea grabs Dom by his hair just as he gets through the ropes! But then Liv CLOBBERS Rhea from behind, and Rhea gets caught up in the ropes! Rhea’s leg is stuck, so Liv KICKS away on it! The fans boo, Dom smiles, and then Liv hops down to give Rhea a kiss on the cheek. But here comes Priest! Dom & Liv run, Priest helps Rhea up and out of the ropes. The fans boo as Dom & Liv run away, and between the pain and the cheap shots, Rhea is furious! But when and where will Rhea get her revenge on Liv?
Team American Made gathers at gorilla.
Chad Gable paces, and he says he is sick and tired of this crap! Sick and tired of losing to The Wyatts! Last week did not represent who they are as a team! They have Alpha Academy laughing at them, they will not be put in that position again! No messing around! These three, The Creed Brothers & Ivy Nile, are the best athletes to walk through those ropes in years! And he can tell they are also sick and tired. They are American Made, so go out and show ’em! Brutus TOSSES a table, Ivy fires up, and Gable SLAPS Julius to help him fire up! Will Gable’s new unit demolish his old one to finally move on from the past?
Rhea is being checked by medical.
Well, not really. She is very reluctant about them checking that leg, and Priest asks they give her some space. He says he gets it, Rhea, but she has to let them do their job. He will go to Adam Pearce so he can get a match. Pain needs to come. And while he does that, just let the medics do their job. Priest needs Rhea healthy, okay? Priest leaves, the evaluation continues, will she be cleared so she can continue on her revenge tour?
Mixed Six Tag: Team American Made w/ Chad Gable VS The Alpha Academy!
Raw returns as Maxxine Dupri leads the way for Otis & Akira Tozawa, and they’re just as ready to finish this “family feud.” The trios stare down, neither stepping down, sot he bell rings and the brawl is on! Julius goes after Otis, Brutus goes after Tozawa, and of course Ivy after Maxxine. American Made has the edge, and Julius TOSSES Otis. Ivy TOSSES Maxxine, an Brutus CLUBS away on Tozawa. Brutus CLUBS Tozawa down, tags Julius, and Gable says this is what real athletes look like! The Creeds pinball Tozawa with knees to the sides, then they DOUBLE GUTBUSTER! The fans boo but Julius kicks Tozawa around.
Julius drags Tozawa up, suplexes, but Tozawa knees and knees and knees his way free! Then Tozawa SOBATS, spins, slides under, and SCREW KICKS! Julius wobbles, hot tag to Otis! The fans fire up but Julius runs away! Otis goes out, and he gets moving! Brutus steps in the way but Otis LARIATS! Julius JUJPM KNEES Otis! Gable says this is what he gets! Julius KNEES Otis down, brings the straps down, and then he drags Otis up. The fans rally for Otis but Julius puts him in the ring. Julius fires knees, CLUBS Otis, then whips Otis to a corner. Julius then goes up a corner, pushes Otis out, and CROSSBODIES, but into a POWERSLAM!
The fans fire up while Julius flounders away! Otis glares at Gable, but Ivy tags in! Ivy gets in Otis’ face and dares him to do something. Otis can’t, that’s the rules. So Maxxine hits a THESZ PRESS! She rains down fast hands, Ivy gets free, but Maxxine SHOTGUNS her out! Maxxine tags Otis, Otis runs through the Creeds to CLOBBER them! Tozawa joins in, and Otis fireman’s carries to AIRPLANE SPIN ATTACK! Tozawa is Otis’ weapon as he knocks The Creeds down again and again! Otis lets Tozawa down, Tozawa is a bit dizzy, but Otis gets him focused on the target. Tozawa says no, not him, but Maxxine!
Maxxine says okay, and she climbs! The fans fire up for the SUPER CROSSBODY! Maxxine wipes out Ivy & The Creeds, and The Academy stands tall as Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and Brutus bear crawls. Brutus runs up, Tozawa dodges, and Brutus hits buckles! Both men crawl, but Julius & Ivy YANK Otis & Maxxine! Then Ivy sends Maxxine into barriers! Brutus has Tozawa up, RACK SLAM! Brutus goes up and up to SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO!! Tozawa survives Brutus’ wild athleticism, but Julius tags in. Julius whips, pops Tozawa up, but Tozawa SATELLITE DDTS! The fans are thunderous as Tozawa crawls! Hot tag to Otis! Julius tags Brutus but Otis CLOBBERS him! And then whips for the WRECKER ELBOW! Julius runs up, Otis rolls to dodge! DISCUS LARIAT!
Brutus staggers up, Otis BACKDROPS him! Julius staggers up, Otis BACKDROPS him, too! The fans fire up and Otis SPLASHES Julius in a corner! Julius falls, and Otis rips the shirt! Gable’s furious but here comes the CATERPILLAR ELBOW~! The fans fire up, Otis runs, ducks Brutus to ROLLING CANNONBALL! Cover, Julius breaks it in time! Julius fires hands, puts Otis in a corner, and then he hammers away! Denver rallies for Otis, Tozawa GERMAN SUPLEXES Julius! Brutus runs up, Tozawa DUMPS him out! Tozawa builds speed and DIVES! Direct hit and down goes Brutus! Tozawa keeps going, DIVE, into Julius’ arms!
Julius OVERHEAD SUPLEXES Tozawa! Julius kips up, goes to the apron, but Otis BLASTS him back down! Brutus goes up, he leaps, BRUTUS BALL!! Gable cheers, the fans boo, and Brutus bails out! Otis flounders, he reaches out, Maxxine tags in! She rallies on Ivy! BIG KNEE! Maxxine clinches a leg to FISHERMAN SUPLEX! And a kip up so smooth! LEG LARIAT in a corner, and Ivy falls! The fans fire up for Maxxine as she swivels them hips, and rips HER shirt! Don’t worry, she has her gear on., REVERSE CATERPILLAR, but Gable is on the apron to shout out her! So Maxxine SLAPS Gable! Ivy ROUNDHOUSES Maxxine!
DIAMOND DRAGON!! Ivy has Maxxine caught, Maxxine TAPS! American Made wins!
Winners: Team American Made, by submission
Gable tipped the scales just enough, and now he brags on the mic! “A big round of applause for the greatest fighting family in all of WWE, American Made!” The fans boo and tell Gable he sucks, but he says no, he doesn’t suck! The Wyatts suck! Last week was supposed to be a classic 1v1 match, but of course Uncle Howdy had to get his “freak show of a family” involved! But that’s his fault, because Gable’s seen what it’ll take to beat them, and you’re looking at it right here! Gable calls out Howdy for next week, an 8 PERSON TAG! And in good ol’ American fashion, Gable makes sure this is the end of all of this crap, because it won’t just be any tag match. It will be a STREET FIGHT!
Gable won’t just get rid of the Wyatts for the fans and for the locker room, but they’ll do it for AMERICA! The fans boo this false patriotism. Gable says pick whatever four freaks you want, get them ready for- Uh oh. The lights turn out! And from the stage, with the mysterious light behind him, Uncle Howdy has a mic. “For 375 DAYS, my sanity crumbled. My path is in the void now. The silence is deafening. But I, I can still hear it. My life is no longer mine… So if this is the path that you have chosen, who am I to neglect you and your… undoing? You gambled your very being. And we… will collect the debt.”
Howdy laughs as his family appears from the fog! It is clear which four are coming, but who is Gable going to get as American Made’s fourth man?
Zelina Vega VS Shayna Baszler w/ Pure Fusion Collective!
La Muneca let everybody know she was back when she got a shot on Sonya Deville last week as PFC took on Damage CTRL. But now the inaugural Queen of the Ring will have to take on the Queen of Spades. Can Zelina get another one on PFC? Or will she have to #TapNapOrSnap?
On her way to to the ring, Zelina sees a fan sign. “Michael Trinidad has the best seat in the house. 9-11-01 NEVER FORGET.” Zelina kisses the sign and thanks the fan, now even more motivated than before. Then PFC makes their entrance while we get some recap videos. The bell rings and the two circle. Zelina shows Shayna her arm is 100%, and SLAPS her! Shayna frowns, runs up, but Zelina bails out. Shayna pursues but Zelina slides back in, then BOOTS Shayna as she returns. Zelina arm-drags but Shayna blocks, so Zelina swings around to arm-drag from the other side! Zelina wheelbarrows to arm-drag again!
Zelina runs up, blocks a boot, then wrangles Shayna by her arm! But Shayna avoids the stomp! Zelina almost got Shayna with one of her own tactics! Shayna runs up, Zelina arm-drags again! Shayna ROCKS Zelina, clamps on, and puts her on the top rope. Shayna ROCKS Zelina, climbs up, and she brings Zelina up, only for Zelina to fire hands! Zelina slips down, YANKS Shayna into buckles, then 619s the legs out! Zelina keeps moving, and she SHOTGUNS Shayna out of the ring! The fans fire up as Zelina stands tall, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Shayna has Zelina on the apron. Shayna goes up a corner and drag Zelina up for a HANGING KEYLOCK! The ref counts, the fans boo, but Shayna lets go at 4. Shayna soaks up heat, runs up, but Zelina ELBOWS back! Zelina climbs, leaps, but Shayna catches her! Shayna pops Zelina around to stall and- STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE! Zelina turns things around and then LARIATS! And LARIATS again! Zelina keeps moving, tilt-o-whirl and DDT! Shayna flounders, the fans fire up, and Zelina goes up! MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Another cover, TWO! Zelina grows frustrated, but she says one more time!
The fans fire up, and Zelina runs. She 619s Zoey off the apron! And she METEORAS Sonya for good measure! But then Shayna KNEES Zelina in the ropes! Cover, Shayna wins!
Winner: Shayna Baszler, by pinfall
That knee was a knockout! PFC of course factors into the finish, and now they mug Zelina 3v1! The fans boo, but here comes LYRA VALKYRIA! The Morrigan is 100% again, and she rallies on PFC! She DECKS Zoey, but Shayna clamps on a KIRAFUDA! Zelina goes after Shayna, but this is still 3v2! SUPERKICK for Lyra! SLEEPER HOLD! DEVILLE’S ADVOCATE! then the ALLEY-OOF! Sonya grabs a mic, tells the fans to sit down, shut up, and show some damn respect! Do they know what it feels like to stand here and watch these two on the ground? It is a remind of just how pathetic everyone else is! And she means every single one of the fans!
There is not a man in this audience that can take them home, and there is not a woman in the locker room that can take them period! But if someone wants to step up, then they can shoot their shot. PFC is standing tall, will it only be a matter of time before they stand atop the WWE?
Rhea & Priest regroup.
Rhea’s on a crutch and says she needs to get her hands on them. Priest says he gets it. But it’s nothing serious then? Yeah, this is just a precaution. So how did things with Pearce go? Oh, his part was fine. But Finn Balor, the coward that he is, says he’ll only accept a match if it is in a tag match. It won’t be a mixed, and Priest has no friends anymore so there goes the match. Rhea says that’s not entirely true. Tell Pearce the match is still on, she’ll go talk to someone. Priest says okay. And then he realizes what she means. Let Priest know what he says. Priest heads out, Rhea smiles. Just who could this mystery man be?
Lyra and Zelina regroup backstage.
They’re both mad with this PFC crap. Those three run around, they’ve taken out half the locker room, interfere in matches, but Lyra says it is time to fight back. Zelina agrees. PFC may have the numbers, but she’ll still take that fight week after week after week until they bring PFC down. Lyra has an idea. Raw is in Calgary next week, yeah? She has someone in mind. Well then, who will Lyra’s mystery woman be to even the score with PFC?
CM Punk is here!
Denver fires up for the Second City Saint as he says, “IT’S CLOBBERIN’ TIME~!” Punk high-fives fans as he goes to the ring, making sure not to miss anyone. Punk hears out the fans as they chant his name, and he even drops to his knees. “Real life, never get sick of it. I always wonder, ‘Are they gonna care?’ But I gotta ask, is it great to be alive on a Monday night in Denver, Colorado or what?” The fans cheer, and Punk wants them to get louder! The fans cheer louder, and Punk says they’re celebrating! He can’t wait to get home to his beautiful wife and his lovely dog, but he needed to make a pit stop here in Denver to celebrate with the fans!
Punk wants a show of hands, who saw Bash In Berlin? Pretty much everyone here. That Strap Match was hell, one of the toughest matches Punk’s been in. And he means it when he says it is good to be alive and on the other side of something that was a very ugly and personal issue. Now that the personal is out of the way, guess what? Time to get down to business! Because that is what Punk is: A Business Man, man! When Punk returned to the WWE, he said very famously, he is not here to make friends, he is here to make money! And he’ll get it how he can get it: cash, love, direct deposit. It is 1996, he is Patrick W, and he’ll be paid in gold!
The fans fire up, and Punk says speaking of Bash In Berlin, one other person went through hell. Speaking of gold, there is one other person who had a tough battle and came out on top. That’s right, Punk is talking about Gunther! This is what Punk means when he means business! Gunther put Randy Orton through hell, took one of the best ever to his limit, and then went past it! Congratulations, champ. Nothing can replace the chip on Punk’s shoulder other than that belt. Punk put Drew McIntyre to sleep, and it is time Punk woke up as champion! The fans like that idea! So Gunther, congratulations. Enjoy it. Because “we’re” going to enjoy taking it off of you!
“The goal is gold, the target is Gunther, my name is…” The fans say, “C! M! PUNK!” And Punk says Gunther better get used to hearing Cult of Personality! Let’s celebrate! Hit his music! Cult of Personality plays, Punk is all fired up, but will he be able to dethrone a legend in the making? Or will Der Ring General prove that he is the Best in the World?
Wait, someone trips Punk up while he’s celebrating on the desk! Well it is pretty obvious, that’s Drew McIntyre! McIntyre HAMMERS away on Punk! The Scottish Terminator DRIBBLES Punk’s head, gets in his face and says nothing is over! Wade Barrett gets McIntyre to stand down, trying to make sure he doesn’t jeopardize his career, but then McIntyre jukes him to CLAYMORE Punk off the desk! Denver boos but McIntyre has a thousand yard glare. McIntyre then stands over Punk as Punk stirs. McIntyre drags Punk up, fireman’s carries him, dumps him into the ring, and then storms in. Barrett tries to stop McIntyre but he just gets pushed aside! CLAYMORE!!
The fans boo as hard as they can as McIntyre paces around a sputtering CM Punk. McIntyre grabs Punk’s arm and tells him Bash In Berlin was not the end! This will never be over until Punk is done! McIntyre stomps away on Punk’s face! Producers rush in, McIntyre shoves them back! They tell him to stand down, but McIntyre says he wants the bracelet back! Touch him and he kills you! McIntyre slips the bracelet off Punk’s, erasing the moral victory Punk won in Berlin. McIntyre looks it over, and with an evil smile, he BREAKS the bracelet apart!! McIntyre holds the beads in his hand, and then he MAKES PUNK EAT THEM!!
Producers rush back in, drag McIntyre away from Punk, and Punk staggers to his feet. McIntyre gets loose to CLAYMIORE Punk again!! The beads go flying out of Punk’s mouth!! The producers tell McIntyre enough, and now referees and Adam Pearce run out there! McIntyre hammers Punk, Punk chokes and coughs on whatever beads went down his throat, and only now is McIntyre leaving! Pearce calls for medics and they bring out the stretcher for Punk. McIntyre wants to end Punk once and for all, did he do just that tonight?
Raw returns and…
Adam Pearce has people clear the way for Punk being stretchered to the back. They carefully turn the corner around the stage, then they make it to the parking lot. The ambulance awaits, but MCINTYRE ATTACKS AGAIN! Punk already has blood in his mouth but McIntyre rips the neck brace away so he can CHOKE Punk!! The refs and Pearce pull McIntyre back, but McIntyre gets loose, to GOUGE at Punk’s eyes!! Producers and security finally drag McIntyre away, Pearce helps the rest hurry Punk onto the ambulance! A grudge is a grudge, but is there something truly dark going on in McIntyre’s heart and soul?
WWE Intercontinental Championship Contender’s Tournament Triple Threat: Dominik Mysterio VS Dragon Lee VS Ilja Dragunov!
Dirty Dom narrowly escaped Damian Priest tonight, and he might just turn things around from losing in Berlin. Will Dom be able to slay two dragons at once? Or is he going to get burned one way or another?
The bell rings and the three circle. Dom looks at both opponents, not taking them all that seriously, and then he ELBOWS Dragunov, and ROCKS Lee! Dom BOOTS Dragunov, but Lee ROCKS Dom! Dragunov ROCKS Dom, now Dom pinballs between haymakers! The fans cheer as Dragunov & Dragon TOSS Dom up and out! The fans cheer more, Dragunov and Dragon circle. They tie up, Dragunov headlocks but Lee powers out. Dragunov RUNS Lee over, keeps moving, but Lee dodges a boot to RANA! Dragunov tumbles then bails out, and Lee builds speed! But Dom trips him up! The fans boo but Dom slingshot SENTONS!
Dom WRECKS Dragunov with a dropkick, but Lee kicks and fires hands! Lee runs, but Dom scoops to MICHINOKU DRIVER! Cover, TWO! The fans boo Dom as he flexes, then he goes to Dragunov in a corner. Dom COHPS, but that just pisses Dragunov off! The fans fire up as Dragunov CHOPS Dom off his feet! Dragunov GERMAN SUPLEXES Dom, holds on, and then GERMAN SUPLEXES again! The fans fire up, Dom grabs Dragon, so Dragunov just DOUBLE GERMAN SUPLEXES them! The Mile High City is now Suplex City, and Raw goes to break!
Raw returns and Lee has Dom up top. Lee climbs, fires hands, but Dom hits back! They brawl, Lee gets the edge, but Dragunov CLUBS Lee! And then brings him out to POWERBOMB! H-BOMB FOREARM! Cover, but Dom FROG SPLASHES it apart! Dom then covers Dragunov, TWO! Now Dom covers Lee, Dragunov breaks it! The fans fire up while all three men are down. Dragunov goes to ropes, drags himself up, and Dom dials it up! 61- NO! Dragunov blocks the call, goes out to the apron, and BOOTS Dom down! Then he fireman’s carries to APRON DEATH VALLEY!! Dom sputters, but Lee FLYING RANAS Dragunov to the floor!!
The fans are thunderous as Lee hurries up a corner! Dom is in the drop zone, but here comes Carlito! Caribbean Cool SHOVES Lee down, and there’s nothing that can be done because Triple Threats are No Disqualification! Carlito screws Lee like he has over and over again, but wait! Here comes Damian Priest! Priest storms down and he fires hands on Carlito! He DECKS Carlito, stomps away, and Dom runs up! Dom DROPKICKS Priest, but Priest barely budges! Dom gets scared and runs away! Priest chases Dom into the crowd, and then to the back! The fans cheer, as that leaves things to Lee and Dragunov now!
Dragunov and Lee fire up, and they start firing forearms! The fans rally, Dragunov CHPOS, CHOPS low, then CHOPS again! Dragunov runs, Lee follows and CHOPS! Then BOOTS! Dragunov JUMP KICKS! Lee dodges Dragunov to SNAP GERMAN! Dragunov is right up but Lee SUPERKICKS! Dragunov PELES! The fans fire up as Dragunov goes to ropes for the CONSTANT- NO, Lee slips the special lariat and tilt-o-whirls into a takedown! Dragunov fights up, Lee reels him back in, LIGER BOMB!! Cover, TWO!! Dragunov survives and Lee can’t believe it! But the fans are thunderous, “This is Awesome!”
Dragunov and Lee rise, and Lee runs up. Dragunov puts him on the apron but Lee BUMPS him off buckles, then KICKS him away! Lee goes up and up to MISSILE- CHOP! Dragunov intercepts Lee, then fireman’s carries, CORNER DEATH VALLEY!! Cover, TWO!! Lee survives and the fans fire up again! Dragunov brings Lee up to the top rope then climbs up after him! But Lee fires forearms in return! Dragunov ends up in a Tree of Woe! Lee stands, WOE STOMP!! Lee sits Dragunov up in a corner, runs in, HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! And then, tilt-o-whirl, but Dragunov slips through to cradle!! TWO!!
Lee escapes, runs up and BOOTS! And then V-TRIGGERS the Pele! SUPERKICK! Dragunov rebounds to TORPEDO MOSCOW!!! Cover, DRAGUNOV WINS!
Winner: Ilja Dragunov, by pinfall (advances to the #1 contender’s Fatal 4 Way)
Dom’s promise to go for gold goes up in smoke! Dragon Lee shows Ilja Dragunov respect, and now we’re one step closer the contender’s match! Who wins the second Triple Threat tonight to give us our field of four?
Backstage interview with Adam Pearce.
Cathy Kelley is with the Raw General Manager, and says with Bronson Reed out with illness tonight, there is a massive void in the last Triple Threat match. We still have Sheamus and Ludwig Kaiser, but has Pearce found a replacement for the third? It was an all day process, as you can imagine, because the locker room is coming out of the woodwork. The Intercontinental Championship is opportunity- Wait, Braun Strowman walks in!? The Monster Among Men is taped up heavily on his sides, and he says he heard they’re looking for someone to replace Bronson in the Triple Threat. Well, yeah, but Braun’s not cleared!
Braun gets that, he is a little banged up. Medical said that if he can go, it’s up to him. And he says he can go. Wait, Pearce isn’t even sure how Braun is even standing here, let alone asking for this match. If medical said that, and if Braun can look Pearce in the eyes and tell him he’s good… Braun leans in to say, “I can go. I want this match tonight.” Pearce says that’s poetic. Braun’s in! Braun thanks Pearce and heads out. Pearce says he needs to have a talk with medical. But will the Monster of All Monsters prove he’s a monster by somehow still putting on a banger with Sheamus and Kaiser?
Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair are here!
The StrongEST Duo is once again on top of the tag division as the NEW WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, and that brings them here to Denver! The fans fire up for Jade & Bianca, but they’re going to be ringside while two of their rival teams fight it out for a rematch! Will the Evil Genius & Sky Pirate set sail for the storm? Or will the Unholy Union magically turn things right back around?
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships #1 Contenders Match: Iyo Sky & Kairi Sane VS Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn!
Raw returns as DMG CTRL make their entrance, followed by the former tag team champions. The teams sort out Alba starts against Kairi. Kairi runs up but Alba kicks her low! Alba puts Kairi int he corner, stomps away, then tags Isla. Isla scrapes Kairi on the ropes, then SLAPS her! Kairi just scowls, then turns things around to CHOP! The fans fire up, Kairi runs, but Isla throws her down by her hair! Isla drags Kairi up, suplexes, but Kairi slips free! Kairi whips, Isla reverses, but Kairi goes up and RANAS! Isla tumbles out, Kairi fires up and the fans cheer. Kairi goes to the apron, FLYING KABUKI ELBOW!
Alba runs up. Kairi dodges and URAKENS! Iyo runs over to ASAI MOONSAULT! Direct hit on Alba, and DMG CTRL taunt Bianca & Jade. The fans fire up for that stare down, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and Isla has a wristlock to keep Kairi from Iyo. Kairi fires forearms, reaches out, but Isla reels her in! SAIDO! Kairi tumbles to the corner, Isla runs up, and she ELBOWS Kairi! Isla taunts Iyo, runs in again, but Kairi dodges! Alba hurries to tag in and she stomps Kairi down! Alba suplexes but Kairi DDT counters! Both women are down and the fans fire up! Kairi crawls, finds her way over, hot tag to Iyo! The fans fire up as the Evil Genius SHOTEIS! SHOTES! And DROPKICKS! Isla runs up, but Iyo kicks a leg and SLAPS her! Alba kicks, Iyo blocks, and Iyo sends it into Isla! Alba helps Iyo up, but Iyo runs up, ducks ‘n’ dodges, and then handsprings!
Alba & Isla dodge, but the DOUBLE SHOTGUN takes them down! The fans fire up with Iyo while Alba and Isla go to corners. Bianca & Jade like this as Iyo hits a SHINKANSEN on Alba! Cover, TWO! Iyo is stunned, but she drags Alba up. Iyo underhooks, lifts, but Alba slips up and out! Gory Especial but Iyo BOOTS Isla! Iyo turns things around, to TIGER BACKBREAKER! The fans fire up and Iyo waistlocks Alba, to GERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, Isla breaks it in time! Kairi attacks Isla as Bianca & Jade are getting into this. Kairi TOSSES Isla, then goes up a corner! The fans fire up for the INSANE ELBOW, but Isla pulls Bianca into it!!
Kairi takes Bianca out, and even hits the desk! Jade is stunned, checks on Bianca, and Alba goes after Iyo. Iyo hits back with a SHOTEI! Iyo sees what happened to Kairi, isn’t sure what to do, so she SLAPS Alba again! Jade DECKS Kairi for what happened! The ref missed it but Iyo say, and now she’s mad! But she also stops the roll-up by Alba! Iyo STOMPS Alba, covers, TWO! Isla is there to HOTSHOT Iyo!! Alba tags Isla, they drag Iyo up, for SOMETHING WICKED!! Cover, Unholy Union wins!
Winners: Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn, by pinfall (NEW #1 contenders to the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships)
While the wicked witches used their enemies against each other to take the win, Bianca & Jade storm in to confront DMG CTRL! The ref keeps another fight from breaking out, will DMG CTRL still get their fight with the champs anyway?
Kofi Kingston talks with Pearce.
All Kofi is saying is, Finn & JD haven’t defended the tag titles in over two months. Does Kofi think Pearce doesn’t know that? He’s been trying to get them to talk with him, but things have been crazy here. Kofi just wants to suggest something for The New Day. But wait, Gunther walks past them. Kofi says hey to the champ, and Gunther chuckles. Well, we know Der Ring General’s opinion on New Day, but he continues on to gorilla. What will the World Heavyweight Champion have to say about his big win in Berlin?
The Terror Twins regroup.
Rhea smiles as Priest walks up. Priest was gonna tell her he didn’t get at Dom, but he sees she’s “cheesing.” Did he say yes? Nope. What? Then what did he say? He said YEET! Well, that’s good. Priest and Rhea fist bump and Rhea even does the yeet bounce! Is Priest about to feel real Ucey?
Gunther heads to the ring!
Denver cheers Der Ring General, The King of the Ring, and the World Heavyweight Champion as he makes his way out, having made it through The Viper. Gunther holds up the belt with just a bit of a smirk, then he grabs the mic. The fans are torn, but Gunther says, “Bash In Berlin was the highest grossing gate for an arena show in the history of WWE. And you Denver degenerates have the honor to look at the man responsible for it! Your World Heavyweight Champion, Der Ring General, Gunther!” The fans are again torn, but Gunther continues, “And there’s more to celebrate for me. Because on Saturday, I’ve beaten one of the greatest legends this business has ever seen.”
And yes, Gunther said a lot of personal things before the match. And even though Gunther was right, he only said those things to bring out the greatest Randy Orton of all time. So now, he can stand here in front of the world and claim that he has beaten the greatest version of Randy Orton. The fans are still torn, but Gunther adds, “That’s alright, because at the end of the day, that big weekend was just another chapter in the legacy of the greatest World Heavyweight Champion in history.” The fans boo that, but here comes Sami Zayn! The fans fire up for the return of the Great Liberator, the Master Strategist, and the only man to defeat Gunther on Raw!
Sami says it is crazy to him, listening to Gunther back there, talking about legacy. Because Sami took these last few weeks to think back on his Intercontinental Championship reign. He was thinking about where he’s been and where he’s headed, and then Gunther talking about the legacy of the Intercontinental Championship. Everyone talks of it as the great workhorse title, all the greats that have held it. But what people forget to mention is that the true greats, the greatest of the greats, the legends like “Macho Man” Randy Savage, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and Sami’s hero, Bret “The Hitman” Hart…
All of those guys, every single one of them, they won the title first, then used that to propel them to the next level, the world title. Every single one of them did that, which is also what Gunther did. And now, that’s exactly what Sami is going to do. The fans like the sound of that! Sami is coming after the one title that has eluded him his entire career, THE World Heavyweight Championship! The fans fire up more, and start chanting Sami’s name, but Gunther sighs. Sami is right, all those men he named, including Gunther, they used the Intercontinental Championship as a stepping stone. And after those reigns, they stepped up.
But whenever Sami held the Intercontinental Championship, he always stepped down. That impressive lift of legends he named, Sami’s name is not on it. But Gunther says that’s why the fans really like him! Whenever Sami gets knocked down, he picks himself up, dusts himself off, and returns to the ring. Whenever things don’t go Sami’s way, he picks himself up, he dusts himself off, and he returns to the middle of this ring! And now, Sami is here in front of Gunther to challenge him for the world title. That is very impressive, because when Gunther hears Sami, he hears the passion. When he looks at Sami, he sees the fire in his eyes.
So if Sami wants a shot at this, if Sami really wants the world title more than anything else, Gunther’s answer is no! The fans boo but Gunther grins. Gunther leaves Sami behind, feeling he’s been there and done that, but Sami shouts at him to hold on just one second! Gunther, Sami has watched your entire career, and you’ve never backed down from a fight. So why is Gunther doing it now? Sami thinks that maybe, as great as Gunther has been, and for all the great names he’s already beaten, he knows full well that ever since being in the WWE, Sami is the only guy who has beaten him! The fans cheer that!
Gunther sighs and turns around to look at Sami. Sami says he has Gunther’s attention now, huh? Gunther can run and hide, but make no mistake, Sami is coming after him to become World Heavyweight Champion! Sami has the last word, but will he be able to pull off the same underdog victory as he did at WrestleMania 40? Or will Gunther deny him from even having a shot?
Backstage interview with Jey Uso.
Jackie Redmond is with Main Event Jey, and she says we were just looking at his history with Damian Priest. Have Priest & Rhea given him any advice ahead of next week’s Fatal 4 Way and his potential match with Bron Breakker? Jey says no, but they’ll get through that, YEET. He got his hockey shirt, Colorado Avalanche, YEET! And Jey about to turn up all the way- Oh, Bron steps in now. Jackie steps aside, and Bron reminds Jey, there’s never been a member of Jey’s family to beat up on a member of Bron’s. Jey won’t be the one to do it. So just listen: Keep chasing Mami, keep yeeting, keep doing his thing. Because Bron will give Jey one chance to walk away.
Just drop out of the tournament, and keep chasing Dirty Dom’s sloppy seconds. Because if Jey doesn’t, and he goes after Bron and Bron’s Intercontinental Championship, Jey will lose. Jey chuckles, and takes the sunglasses off. “Thanks for the advice, rookie. But don’t worry about me, I’ma get mine. But you got my attention now, Uce. I’ma win this Intercontinental tournament, I’ma win this Intercontinental Championship, and I’ma beat your ass while I do it. YEET!” The Big Bad Booty Nephew has lit a fire inside Main Event Jey, will he only get himself burned?
WWE Intercontinental Championship Contender’s Tournament Triple Threat: Sheamus VS Ludwig Kaiser VS Braun Strowman!
This match was already gonna be a banger, but now The Celtic Warrior and the Impeccable German must go from preparing for a Tsunami to battling #OneBigSOB! While Braun is taped up like a Christmas present, will he be the one gifting himself a spot in that Fatal 4 Way? Or will another take advantage of Braun’s bravado and move on to the finals?
The bell rings and Kaiser eggs Sheamus, on before bailing out! The fans boo, but Sheamus pursues, and they brawl in front of commentary! The fans fire up, Kaiser gets the edge, but then Sheamus turns that around on him! Sheamus fireman’s carries to ROLLING SENTON on the floor! Braun goes out the side, runs up on them both, and The Strowman Express CLOBBERS both Sheamus and Kaiser! Braun clutches his side, but he drags Sheamus up to POST him! Braun growls in pain, but then he runs at Kaiser! Kaiser moves, Braun CRASHES through barriers! The fans lose their minds while Braun is down, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Sheamus hits Kaiser with an IRISH BACKBREAKER! Kaiser crawls to a corner, Sheamus runs up, but Kaiser dodges and Sheamus POSTS himself! Kaiser has Sheamus dangling out the ring, and Kaiser runs to DROPKICK Sheamus down! The fans boo but Kaiser sees Sheamus has ended up by the steel steps. Kaiser goes out, builds speed, but BRAUN CHUCKS AN ARMCHAIR! The Monster rises and roars, and the fans are thunderous! They’re losing their minds again in Denver, and Braun puts Sheamus in the ring. Braun LARIATS, LARIATS again, then choke grips! CHOKE SLAM! Cover, TWO!
Braun grits his teeth, adrenaline wearing off, but he rips his shirt away! Sheamus flounders to a corner, Braun goes corner to corner, but Sheamus sends him into buckles! Sheamus KNEES Braun to the apron! Sheamus fires hands into the lower back! Sheamus clamps on, and fans fire up for BEATS OF THE BODHRAIN! Sheamus CLUBS all the way to TEN, and some of that tape on Braun’s chest is coming loose! Sheamus lowers his kneepad, to BLAST Braun off the apron! But Kaiser is back to fireman’s carry! ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Cover, TWO! Sheamus survives and Kaiser is mad, but he storms around while fans boo.
Kaiser drags Sheamus up, clinches, SIDE- NO, Sheamus slips free, fireman’s carries, but Kaiser fights free to ENZIGIRI! Kaiser runs, but into a BROGUE!! Cover, TWO as Pete Dunne drags Sheamus away! We knew the Bruiserweight was in Denver from last night on No Mercy, but it seems he stayed just to screw over Sheamus! Dunne RAMS Sheamus into the apron, then SHILLELAGH CRACKS him!! The fans boo but Kaiser smiles. But Braun SPLASHES Kaiser! Then scoop and MONSTER SLAM!!! Cover, Braun wins!!
Winner: Braun Strowman, by pinfall (advances to the #1 contender’s Fatal 4 Way)
The Monster of All Monsters makes good on being “cleared as tolerated,” but it was really Dunne who made all the difference! With the Fatal 4 Way now set, will Braun bulldoze his way to the Intercontinental Championship?
Priest talks with Jey.
Priest appreciates Jey taking this match, but Priest knows they have a past they can’t ignore. Priest wants to talk about it, but Jey tells him, “Believe it or not, I used to be you. No friends, lost your family. But I still respect you, Uce. Plus, man, I ain’t gonna say no to Rhea.” Priest says that’s fair. But this match with lame-ass Judgment Day, this is for Rhea. Jey says wepa, Priest says yeet. Will there be some #MainEventPunishment in store for Finn & JD?
Backstage interview with Pete Dunne.
Jackie catches up with The Bruiserweight to ask him about how he just cost Sheamus a shot at the Intercontinental Championship. Is there anything he wants to say? Yeah, go tell Sheamus that was a message from an old friend. Now Dunne’s on his way to Orlando for NXT, where he will smash Trick Williams. Wait, so is she to tell Sheamus the message is from Butch? Dunne scowls, and tells her to never call him, “Butch.” Dunne storms off, but will he butcher Trick on his way to that #1 Contender’s Fatal 4? Or is karma going to catch up with him one way or another?
Finn Balor & JD McDonagh VS Damian Priest & Jey Uso!
Judgment Day failed to win in Berlin, but they just had to come back for more. And while they put a caveat on this match, he underestimated just how badly people want to beat Judgment Day down! Will Priest & Jey YEET The Prince & The Ace right out of Denver? Or will the WWE World Tag Team Champions be riding high in the end?
Raw returns and Judgment Day makes their entrance. Given everything that’s already happened tonight, it makes sense it is only Finn & JD, for now. The teams sort out and Finn starts against Priest. The bell rings, and Finn runs away and tags JD! Priest is annoyed and the fans boo, but Finn soaks up heat as JD steps in. JD and Priest circle, then JD dodges to CHOP! Priest doesn’t even flinch! Priest BOOTS JD right outta the ring! Finn is absolutely stunned! And then Priest TOSSES Finn into the ring! Finn panics, wants mercy, but then he runs away again! JD returns to KICK and KICK and KICK!
JD whips but Priest blocks! Priest whips and ELBOWS JD down! The fans fire up and Priest drags JD up to TOSS him to the corner. Priest UPPERCUTS, tags Jey, and the fans fire up with “YEET!” Jey runs up to ELOBOW JD! Then PELE! JD falls, Jey covers, TWO! Jey drags JD up but JD JAWBREAKERS! JD drags Jey over, tags Finn, and they mug Jey. Finn fires hands, the ref counts, but Finn soaks up more heat. The fans boo, but Finn stomps away on Jey! Tag to JD and he drags Jey up. JD whips, drop toeholds, and then runs to drop a leg, brother! Tag back to Finn, and he sits Jey up to ELBOW him in the head.
Finn taunts Priest, then drags Jey back up for another ELBOW! Finn rains down fists, taunts Priest more, then drags Jey up. Finn puts Jey on ropes to CHOKE him! The ref counts, Finn lets off, but JD DROPKICKS Jey! The fans boo, Finn taunts them, then he whips Jey. Jey reverses to TOSS Finn! JD runs up, Jey TOSSES him, too! The fans fire up, Priest holds the ropes so Jey can FLY! Direct hit on Finn & JD and the fans fire up while Raw goes to break.
Raw returns once again and JD stomps away on Jey in the corner. Finn soaks up the heat, then tags in, so that he can taunt Priest. Finn goes over to Jey, but Jey ROCKS Finn! Jey ELBOWS JD, ROCKS Finn, repeat! Fans “YEET! YEET! YEET!” as Jey fires more hands on Finn, but Finn RAMS Jey into the corner! Finn RAMS in again and again, then lets off to tag JD. JD stomps Jey, drags him out to snapmare, then tag ton Finn for a slingshot STOMP! Finn tags JD back in, JD ARABIAN PRESSES! Cover, TWO! The fans rally up but JD clamps onto Jey’s arm. JD grinds the arm in a FUJIWARA ARMBAR! The fans rally as Jey endures!
Jey fights up, throws hands, but JD hits back! They go back and forth, “YEET! BOO! YEET! BOO!” Jey gets the edge, “YEET! YEET!” Pop, lock, some stank, but JD HEADBUTTS! But Jey PELES!

Priest aims, choke grips, SOUTH OF- NO, Finn victory rolls to a cover, TWO! Priest stands, UPPERCUTS, but Finn distracts the ref! JD HOTSHOTS Priest! Finn hits an EYE OF THE HURRICANE! Cover, TWO! Priest survives but Finn tags JD. JD brings Priest around to kick low. JD CLUBS Priest, tags Finn, and they double whip. Priest breaks the line, Jey tags in, and Priest DOUBLE LARIATS! Jey is up top, to DOUBLE CROSSBODY! Then he SUPERKICKS Finn!
SUPERKICK for JD! JD rebounds, swings, misses, SPEAR!! Jey takes JD down but he’s not done! The fans fire up as Jey climbs the corner again! Finn distracts the ref, LIV trips Jey!! The fans boo as the Women’s World Champion saves her boys, and Jey falls, clutching his boys! The fans boo but Finn tags in. Finn aims, runs up, SLINGBLADE! Jey flounders and Finn takes aim! SHOTGUN! Jey falls, JD tags in, and Finn goes up! COUP DE GRACE! And MOONSAULT! Cover, PRIEST BREAKS IT! The fans are thunderous, Liv is furious, but the ref tells her to get off the apron! WAIT! Rhea Ripley storms her way out here!
The fans fire up as even with a bad leg, Mami makes her way out. Liv is laughing, this is a joke to her! Liv dares Rhea to try something on her one good leg. Rhea smiles, and she JAMS Liv with the crutch! Liv runs as Rhea tries to hammer her! The crutch breaks up but Rhea still chases Liv on one-and-a-half legs! Liv runs away into the night, but Finn is shocked! Priest tags in, Rhea says “SUCK IT!” Priest DECKS JD, and he BOOTS Finn! Then he brings Finn up, only for JD to make the save!

Rhea cheers as Priest tags in Jey! Jey goes up, fans chant “YEET! YEET! YEET!” for the USO SPLASH!! Cover, Jey & Priest win!
Winners: Damian Priest & Jey Uso, by pinfall
Rhea sings along with the song, because Main Event Jey came through for the Terror Twins! Will Rhea be in an even better mood when she can get her hands on Liv? Will Jey YEET the other three men in next week’s Fatal 4 Way so he can head right for Bron Breakker?
My Thoughts:
A great Raw to follow Bash In Berlin and keep things moving, though mostly building next week’s “Season Premiere” episode, which will be the last one of those on USA Network with the Netflix move happening in 2025. But very good promo from Gunther to follow his win over Orton, and a rather interesting move making Sami Zayn the next challenger. Sami’s argument of “Intercontinental to World Championship” and then Gunther’s counter of “Not for Sami apparently,” good stuff. But it feels like if Gunther “corrected” the controversy of his previous win over Orton, he probably “gets back” that loss from Sami to solidify his world title reign.
And of course, Sami can move up to be challenger because holy crap, McIntyre once again tried to murder CM Punk. Punk had a great promo suggesting he was moving on and going for the championship, and then for McIntyre to completely destroy that notion was great stuff. To be fair, it was a given McIntyre wasn’t letting Punk get away from him yet, the story is 1-1. And just when I didn’t think they would, McIntyre goes and breaks that bracelet! Even with how this is going into a Hell in the Cell territory, this is going to most definitely make the Strap Match look tame. Though to be fair, that’s also because it was the dumb four corners version.
Anyway, very good Mixed Six Tag, though of course Gable had to get involved so that American Made would win. I like the Mixed 8 Person Street Fight, that’s going to be wild stuff. But I suspect that if this feud is to continue, American Made needs to find a way to win. And while there are No Disqualifications in a Street Fight, maybe American Made still cheats by bringing in a new member to have some kind of numbers advantage. Well, I suppose they’re the ones at a disadvantage because the Wyatt Sick6 is five people… Well, one way or another, something has to happen where American Made wins because it feels too soon to end the feud.
Very good match of Zelina VS Shayna, but of course PFC used their numbers to win. Lyra making a return is great, and I’m pretty sure her plan for Calgary is to bring Natalya back to Raw. That’ll be a solid Six Woman Tag, but I wonder if Natty is brought back to then join PFC. There was that one moment like a month or so ago when Natty told Sonya she was onboard, but then they left her out of PFC officially forming and naming themselves. This could be a roundabout way to fixing that oversight. Though at the same time, there’s no midcard title to have a fourth member to take (unless you count the new Women’s Speed Championship).
The Women’s Tag Team Championship contenders movie was really good stuff, but OUCH, Kairi going face first into the desk after quite literally bouncing off Bianca was rough. In that standoff after the match, it was clear Kairi’s eye was red and she maybe had some blood from a broken nose. Hopefully she is okay, DMG CTRL is already without Dakota Kai, they can’t lose more members. But Alba & Isla as the winners, we get one more rematch of them and Bianca-Jade, so that’ll be like a tiebreaker blowoff situation. I feel like they aren’t going to hot potato the belts right back to Alba & Isla, and they’ll surely build up other teams like PFC or Chelsea Green & Piper Niven after this.
Great stuff with Judgment Day throughout the night as usual, but this really is the “lame ass Judgment Day.” They keep losing, even with numbers and interference, what are they even going to do? Dom & Liv setting Rhea up for the sneak attack was good for building the Women’s World Championship rematch while also setting up the main event tonight. Priest making sure Dom lost his Triple Threat was great, and we still got awesome stuff even before then. Dragunov winning is a great move, he alone ramps up that Fatal 4 Way by quite a bit.
And while Bronson unfortunately gets hit with COVID, I do appreciate Braun being his replacement. That’s classic Braun right there. Speaking of classic Braun, it seems Dunne “wasn’t finished with Sheamus.” He screws Sheamus over, Braun is in the Fatal 4, but given how Bron got in Jey’s face, it has to be Jey winning the Fatal 4. Jey being Priest’s teammate tonight was also good stuff, continues to tease the Rhea-Jey kayfabe relationship and fans are having fun with that. Jey wins to get momentum going into the Fatal 4, Rhea has momentum going after Liv, and Priest can gain momentum going into a grudge match with Finn because that’s the endgame there, too.
My Score: 8.8/10

Winners: The Don Callis Family, by pinfall
The Alpha stands tall over Davis as friendly fire takes out Ospreay’s team. But what happens when things divide into 1v1 matches? Will Konosuke still be International Champion after he and Ricochet go #OuttaThisWorld? Will Kyle prove that he IS The Protostar after tearing down Will Ospreay?
Jon Moxley & The Death Riders speak.
“Despite recent discoveries that Orange Cassidy is a snake, coldblooded, uncaring, unmoving, a serpent lurking in the darkest corners of the battlefield, my objective remains the same, my job on Saturday night remains the same. You may be this borderline sociopath, you may be a great guy just like everybody thinks. I don’t care if you’re a great guy. I don’t care what kind of person you are. When the bell rings on Saturday night, and the AEW World Championship hangs in the balance, you are a threat to my people. And I will destroy you.
“There’s so much more going on behind Orange Cassidy’s eyes than any of us could’ve imagined. You may make it to Full Gear with your mind in tact, but your body… For that matter, Darby Allin’s body… Still up for grabs.” Claudio jumps in, speaking in German about what he’ll do to Darby. Then in English, he says, “Tonight, I’m gonna end you.” Moxley pats Claudio on the shoulder. Will The Maniac’s top henchmen do his dirty work for him when they dismantle Cassidy & Darby? Or will it just be fuel on the fire for Freshly Squeezed & The Relentless One? Speaking of…
Darby Allin speaks.
“Claudio, I’m gonna keep this really short. Let’s not forget you’re the one who put the chair around Bryan’s neck and pulled the trigger on his career. Every single one of you Death Riders will have your day. And Claudio, today’s your day.” Will Moxley’s men be dealt with in brutal fashion before he suffers the same?
The Hurt Syndicate arrive.
Renee Paquette waits in the parking lot as an SUV pulls up, and she welcomes Montel Vontavious Porter, Shelton Benjamin & Bobby Lashley to the show. She heard MVP has a surprise in store, what’s he got planned? MVP says yes, there is a special treat for the AEW audience, and that is this announcement: The All Mighty Bobby Lashley will be in action here tonight on Dynamite in Reading, Pennsylvania, prior to his PPV debut on Saturday! Renee asks if MVP is at all concerned to put Lashley in a match- OH NO, Swerve attacks!! Swerve knocks Lashley over, then laughs as he gets away!
Shelton helps Lashley up but that ambush might’ve been with Swerve’s own silver chain. Will Lashley elect not to compete tonight after all? Or is he about to make an example out of whatever poor soul is put in front of him?
Adam Cole is here!
Reading fires up as the Panama City Playboy makes his way to the ring. They join in with the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” Cole grabs a mic to ask, “Who’s ready for Storytime with Adam Cole, Baybay?” Reading sure is ready! Cole wishes so so badly that he could get his hands on MJF this Saturday, but he’s not. MJF did everything in his power to make sure he and Cole didn’t fight on Saturday, and he succeeded. But do you know who else succeeded last week? Roderick Strong did! The fans cheer as Cole says he and Roddy have the exact same goal: Give MJF the ass whooping of a lifetime! And that is exactly what happens at Full Gear!
The fans cheer, and wait, Kyle O’Reilly makes his way out here. The longtime friend of Cole & Roddy makes his way out here, and already has a mic. Kyle isn’t sure if Cole remembers, but 14 years ago, right here in Reading, PA, Cole and Kyle had their second match ever against each other. They’ve come a long way. Being associated with Cole has given Kyle some incredible highs, and some serious lows. And through those lows, Kyle knows Cole better than anyone. Which makes Kyle the only one willing to tell Cole the truth. The truth is, this crusade against MJF has got to end before someone gets hurt.
This obsession, Cole needs to wash his hands of it. His ankle has already been reconstructed, what’s next? Cole has friends willing to take a bullet for him, Kyle included, but Cole has got to stop having his friends fight his battles. Roddy barely makes it out alive last week, and now he wants to fight MJF! He wants to END MJF, all because of Cole. Kyle just doesn’t have a good feeling about any of this. Cole asks Kyle what he’s trying to say here. Kyle doesn’t think Roddy can handle MJF? Kyle asks Cole if he really thinks MJF isn’t already three steps ahead. MJF hasn’t been here for weeks but he’s pulling all the strings.
Cole should know that dealing with MJF is like playing with fire, and Kyle doesn’t wanna see his friends get burned. Cole needs to realize why so many of his friends are willing to go to war for him, and it’s because he is a great leader, an elite pro-wrestler, and a great friend, who doesn’t wanna see his friends get hurt. At least, so Kyle thinks. But Cole has to face facts: MJF is more of an evil bastard than Cole will ever be, and that is a good thing. Kyle drops his mic and walks away. Cole drops his mic, and has a lot to think about. Does Kyle have a point? Can Cole just let Roddy handle MJF and then move on?
Orange Cassidy speaks.
“A little later tonight, I’m gonna make an example out of you, Wheeler Yuta. And I’m gonna show everybody exactly what I’m gonna do this Saturday to you, Jon Moxley. And that’s walk down to that ring and beat you, alone.” But The Conglomeration steps in. Mark Briscoe has Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii with him as he asks Cassidy, “What sense does that make, man?” Moxley said himself, there’s five Death Riders, one Cassidy. Conglomeration has his back, they are here for him. Cassidy says no, no one else needs to get hurt. Get hurt? What’s Cassidy talking about? The Conglomeration are ready to scrap!
PLEASE!! Cassidy is asking them… They don’t have to believe him or even understand him. But just promises him they’ll stay back here. If Cassidy insists, then so be it. Cassidy says there you have it, Jon. Five of you, one of him. Do what you’re gonna do. Because at Full Gear, Moxley’s gonna need all the help he can get. Cassidy is himself wanting the best for his friends, but will that work out for the betterment of AEW? Or is he just playing into Moxley’s hands?
Kris Statlander VS Hikaru Shida!
The #BornAgainKristen bodied the bullies that are Mercedes Mone & Kamille the last time she saw them, but she still needs to tune up for Full Gear.

Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Shida gave Kris a powerful match, but clearly Shida has to iron out her own crisis of confidence. Kris still shows Shida respect by helping her up. But wait, here comes Mercedes Mone & Kamille! The fans boo The CEO & Brickhouse but Mone has a mic. “Readiiiiing~! Say hello to your C E O!” The fans boo instead. Mone asks Kamille if she wants to hear a fun fact about Pennsylvania. The 76ers have had yet another terrible season! Embarrassing~! But shoutouts to Mone’s Celtics for another incredible victory. The fans boo Boston but Mone says another person with an incredible win was Kris Statlander. Mone is rarely impressed by her competition.
Does anyone else want to hear another fun fact? “NO!!” Well, Mone has held the TBS Championship longer than Kris! So at Full Gear, Mone will NOT lose, because she is The CEO, the greatest TBS Champion of all time! And she will NEVER lose this title! Fans tell The CEO to STFU, but Mone tells Kamille go get the job done! She is so pissed off! GO! NOW! Kamille walks up the steps past Mone, but with only one good arm! Mone says hurry up, but Kamille looks at both Shida and Kris. Kamille takes as swing, but Kris blocks to ROCK her! Shida QUESTION MARK KICKS Kamille! Then Kris & Shida TOSS The Brickhouse!
Shida goes out after Kamille, but then Mone goes after Kris! Mone goes for the backstabber, but Kris holds onto ropes! Mone is almost stuck up there, but Kris pops her around! STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER!! The fans fire up as Kris stands tall over The CEO! Will Kris once again become the Face of TBS? Or will Mone find a way to win even without her insurance policy?
The Hurt Syndicate has a cameraman with them.
MVP says hold on, he and Shelton have found Swerve. They go after the man in the big fur jacket, but that’s not Swerve! Swerve gave his jacket to the guy, but MVP & Shelton still beat this guy up for helping Swerve. MVP says they’ll find Swerve later, Lashley has his match up next. And it’ll be a 2-on-1 Handicap?! The All Mighty really IS mad, what poor duo is about to be destroyed?
AEW hears from Jay White and Hangman Adam Page.
“Hangman. You and I are on that same path to that same destination, trying to grasp at that same prize. 2024 still has some time left for The Switchblade to share the spotlight with Hangman once more!” But the Blackhat Cowboy asks White if he knows “Who the hell I am?! I am the Hangman! I am THE man! They named this whole godforsaken PPV after ME!” White says when he makes Hangman TAP, it will be a public declaration! But Hangman says White can’t make him tap, even if his life depended on it! These two vicious gunslingers will write one more chapter in their storied rivalry, but who comes out riding off into the sunset?
2v1 Handicap: Bobby Lashley w/ The Hurt Syndicate VS Joe Keys & Cheeseburger!
The All Mighty thought he’d have an easy night getting in a little warm-up, but The Realest quickly reminded him why he’s the most dangerous man in AEW! Lashley’s now doubling down to make a point, will there be nothing left of Keys & Cheese after tonight?
The bell rings and while the fans rally for Cheeseburger, he and Keys each argue the other should start. Lashley runs up and TOSSES Burger across the ring!

Winner: Bobby Lashley, by submission
MVP & Shelton join Lashley in the ring to celebrate, but then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” The fans fire up, and here comes Prince Nana with a chair! Nana eggs the Hurt Syndicate on so Shelton storms out after Nana. MVP watches the rest of ringside for Swerve, but Swerve slides out from under the ring! The fans fire up as Swerve slips in to CHAIN PUNCH Lashley!! MVP gets on the apron but Swerve DECKS MVP with a chain punch! And then Shelton eats a chain punch! The fans are thunderous as Swerve aims, and hits a HOUSE CALL on Lashley! Swerve hurries to the top rope, and he gives Lashley a KILL STOMP!!
The fans are thunderous as Swerve stands over Lashley! MVP & Shelton get up and get in, but Swerve escapes, chain draped on his neck! Will AEW then, now and forever be whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!”
Backstage interview with Mariah May & Mina Shirakawa.
Renee is now with the AEW Women’s World Champion and her best friend, the Rev-Pro Undisputed British Women’s Champion. They are planning their Championship Champagne Celebration for Full Gear, BUT Friday Night Rampage will feature the two of them teaming up for the first time in just over a year. Mariah says no champion deserves a celebration more than her. Her rise to the top was meteoric, and her reign will be historic. She takes ish and makes it shine, any time and any show, against anyone. In Mariah’s division, you hold this title, or you die.
Mina says yes, Mariah has been working so hard. She came back to tell her she is so very proud. And Mina will give Mariah a celebration she’ll never forget! Mariah says the “H Cup Angel” (Mina) and the “Woman from Hell” (Mariah herself) are going to make Rampage into Glampage. Everyone wants Mina, but Mina wants Mariah. And then… They’ll dance! These two shimmy and shake their way out, will they finally be toasting their victories at Full Gear?
Darby Allin VS Claudio Castagnoli w/ The Death Riders!
The Relentless One told The Swiss Superman that revenge was coming, and here is Darby’s chance! Will Darby avenge Bryan Danielson? Or will he just be the next to fall?
The bell rings and Darby stares Claudio down. Darby takes some deep breaths then circles with Claudio. Darby slips around to waistlock but Claudio flings him off, only for Darby to roll to his feet. They circle again, and the fans rally behind Darby. Darby and Claudio feel things out, tie up, and Darby headlocks. Claudio lifts Darby but Darby thrashes the hold. Claudio throws Darby off, runs up, but Darby uses that to get around and springboard arm-drag! The fans fire up while Claudio bails out, and Darby taunts Claudio with some drop steps.

Fans freak out as Darby hits the floor! Claudio leaves Darby behind while the ring count climbs, but Darby drags himself up at 7. Claudio goes back out after Darby to suplex! Claudio holds Darby up while he marches up the steps! The fans fire up for this feat of strength and balance, and then Claudio TOSSES Darby back into the ring! Darby writhes again while Claudio steps back in. Claudio stalks Darby, talks some trash, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Claudio looms over Darby, then deadlift gut wrenches for a GUTBUSTER! And then another GUTBUSTER! And then another GUTBUSTER! Darby writhes while Claudio stands over him again. Claudio watches Darby crawl towards a corner and stalks him. Claudio drags Darby up, brings him around, and ROCKS Darby with a forearm! Darby pushes Claudio, then CHOPS! Claudio DECKS Darby! Darby tumbles out of the ring! The ref wants Claudio to stay back while Darby drags himself up. Darby is back in before the count starts, but then Claudio DOUBLE STOMPS him! Claudio kicks Darby around, then clamps on with a neck wrench!
Darby endures, fights up, but Claudio powers him down. Darby BITES Claudio’s hand! The ref reprimands but Darby fires off forearms on Claudio. Claudio HIP TOSSES Darby up and out of the ring! Darby hits the floor and flounders around while the ref reprimands Claudio. Claudio again waits on Darby, and then he DOUBLE STOMPS Darby the moment he’s in! The ref counts as Claudio stands on Darby at the ropes. Claudio steps off at 4, brings him around, and clamps on an armlock and chinbar.

Darby truly is relentless, with durability like no other, but it just wasn’t enough against the strength and brutality of Claudio! Will no one stop The Death Riders from running roughshod over AEW?
Backstage interview with Private Party.
Renee is with Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy and brings up that at Full Gear, the AEW World Tag Team Championships are on the line in a Fatal 4 Way. Private Party takes on The Acclaimed, The Outrunners and The Kings of the Black Throne. In such a match, the champs do NOT have to be pinned or submitted to lose their titles, so what is their strategy? Brother Zay says they obviously can’t tell her that, the other teams are watching. But it seems like the odds are against them. Fortunately, the odds have been against them their whole lives, their whole careers, just like against The Young Bucks.
But look what happened: Private Party defied the odds, beat The Bucks, and are your AEW World Tag Team Champions. That is the same thing that happens on Saturday. They leave Newark, New Jersey still your tag team champions. Because there ain’t no party like a Private Party, that’s a flex. Oh, speaking of! It’s AJ & Big Justice! They’re fired up to be here, but Justice wants to know what that face Zay made was last week. Oh, right, this one, with the chin scratching. And AJ says they’ve got a BIG announcement coming up after this! Maybe some double chunk chocolate cookies? BOOM!!
A green Porsche Taycan pulls up to the middle of nowhere.
And out steps MJF. The Wolf of Wrestling tells the hobo to “go get it” as he throws spare change off to the side like birdseed. MVP then sits back and tells Roderick Strong, “You’ve been through so much. The kid who grew up trailer park trash with two abusive alcoholic parents. For crying out loud! Your own mother shot your father right in front of you. That’s traumatizing. And as you know, Roddy, trauma is the result of an overwhelming sense of danger, powerlessness and fear. However, healing is a result of feeling safe, empowered and supported. That’s why you’d do anything for Cole. He makes you feel all those positive things that you lacked.
“It’s why I was no different than you. It’s why I trusted him. Unfortunately, the difference between you and I: Cole for me was a mirage of what I wanted him to be. A fraud, a liar. And whilst Cole is a fraud, I do actually believe deep down, in his narcissistic, sociopathic, frail, feeble frame, is a man who cares about Roderick Strong. This is precisely why upon further contemplation, I am happy you won, Roddy. Because I want Adam Cole to watch a person he cares about suffer! And because of your White trash upbringing, you aren’t intelligent enough to realize that you don’t have a prayer. And I’m sending you back to where you belong. To your grimy little trailer park.
“And after the match, you’ll be in so much physical anguish, you’ll wish your mother hadn’t shot your father, but instead shot you.” As if this scumbag couldn’t stoop any lower, he brings up Roddy’s past to hurt him. But will Roddy make sure MJF’s future is the one full of pain and suffering?
Backstage interview with AJ & Big Justice.
Renee is with the Costco Tiktok sensations and says that in the Full Gear Zero Hour, we will see #BigBoomAJ take on QT Marshall in a match 20 YEARS in the making. AJ says it may have been 20 years in the making for QT, this all started for AJ when QT threw the double chunk chocolate cookies down! Renee says AJ has not been in the ring in those 20 years, is he concerned about how his body will hold up? AJ isn’t worried about that, because he just has one strategy, and that’s the strategy they use each and every day. That strategy is to bring the BOOM~! But hey, there’s another special announcement.
Because when AJ rings QT’s bell, and he Power-Booms QT right in the middle of that ring, there is only one guy they want ringing the bell: Big Justice’s best friend, THE RIZZLER! Time to bring the BOOM~! Will QT be sleeping on the mat for The Rizzler? Will he be skibidi? Fanum Tax? Why are those even words?
Tony Schiavone is on stage.
And he welcomes out The Undisputed Kingdom! The fans cheer as Roderick Strong makes his way out, accompanied by Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. Schiavone brings up Roddy VS MJF at Full Gear, and we just heard all that disgusting stuff MJF had to say. Roddy’s response is that to be honest, he has not slept a wink since last week. IT is finally happening! Roddy feels like a kid on Christmas morning. He finally gets his hands on “MAAAAAX~!” The fans echo that, and Roddy says if MJF was here tonight, and not hiding out there, Roddy would ask him: Is Roddy supposed to be ashamed of his childhood?
Is Roddy supposed to be ashamed of his parents? You don’t think Roddy’s heard that stuff before? His whole LIFE, that is what people brought up! His mom’s an addict, his dad’s an addict, mom shot dad. Good job, Max, you made Roddy feel like he was in elementary school again. And people may look at Roddy’s past and feel sorry for him, but Roddy asks us not to. Because looking at MJF, Roddy feels sorry for him. Understand this, Max. With Roddy’s life, he learned that to get the most out of life, you have to earn it. If you wanna break the cycle, you have to earn it. And that is what Roddy’s done ever since he was a kid!
And now looking at MJF, he’s been spoon-fed everything. And when something doesn’t go his way or something happens and he doesn’t like it, MJF throws a temper tantrum like a baby until that changes. So Roddy wants MJF to do something for him: Look in the mirror and think about all the things that MJF has done to people. The manipulating, the backstabbing, the using. MJF needs to realize, when the bell rings at Full Gear, MJF will pay for all those sins. With every chop, with every punch, with every elbow, with every backbreaker! And when it is all over, Roddy walks to his hotel room for the best night of sleep in his life because he earned it.
Especially because Roddy will know he has broken MJF’s back, and left him humbled! Roddy is all fired up, and the fans are with him! Will MJF finally get what’s coming to him? Or will he give Roddy nightmares for the rest of his life?
AEW shares footage taken from last Saturday night.
First, a recap video of Daniel Garcia thwarting Jack Perry’s attempts to abduct and torture Matthew Menard, as well as the joyride they took in the Scapegoat bus, with Perry as the hood ornament. And now, they have Perry strapped into a chair, the bus headlights as the only source of light. Menard is behind the camera as he asks Perry how he’s feeling. How’d that work out for him, huh? Garcia splashes Perry with water to wake him up, and says “Let’s have a conversation. I’m all ears.” Perry chuckles and says Garcia thinks he’s so much better than him. Look at where they are! Garcia shouts back that he doesn’t wanna be here!
Garcia just wants to wrestle, but AEW is full of savages! Perry tried to take Daddy Magic’s life! And those in power just sit back and watch, pretending that nothing’s going on. So what do they do? Gotta take the power back, right? Perry counters with, “Everybody’s got a code. Everybody cares about right and wrong until it costs them something. Until they have to SACRIFICE!” Garcia gets in Perry’s face, grabs him by the mouth, and says Perry’s always going on about sacrifice but Perry has no idea what Garcia’s had to go through! Perry has NO idea what Garcia’s had to sacrifice to be here!
Garcia knows where Perry wants him to go, but Garcia promises that he’s never gonna go there. Perry smirks, then SPITS in Garcia’s face. Garcia wipes that off his face and says bet. Garcia’s got something for Perry, so just wait right there. Garcia goes to the bus while Perry mockingly asks what he’s gonna do. Menard tells shut up, Jack! Life must be so hard for him! What’s Jack got to be sad about?! Garcia comes back and he has a crowbar! Perry dares him to go ahead. Garcia raises the bar, but he SMASHES up the bus! Garcia throws the crowbar away and Perry laughs. Is that it? Garcia tells Menard they’ll get out of here. What? Where’s Garcia going?
Perry says yeah, walk away. Menard tells Perry that Garcia’s gonna whoop his ass! Just wait! Menard leaves, Perry shouts into the night, but will The Face of TNT soon be the one sacrificed for the greater good?
Renee Paquette presides over the ROH World Championship contract signing.
She welcomes us backstage to the signing for this match, which will happen next week, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, in Chicago. The challenger, Tomohiro Ishii, is on her left, and the champion, Chris Jericho, is on her right. Jericho, as champion, you have the honors to sign first. Jericho smiles and waves as he says, “Hi, guys.” But Renee, you should know better. A champion of Jericho’s caliber does not just sign a contract thrust at his face randomly. He has a whole legal team that needs to approve this contract. Renee says it was sent to said legal team last week. Oh, really? What about today? The now! Jericho lives in the now!
Jericho says he’ll get this checked by his legal eagles one more time. But for now, wait here. Choto matte kudesai. Jericho steps around the corner and then down the hall. He smiles at his own picture on the wall. What a good looking guy. But wait, Ishii has followed Jericho to the hall. Jericho is a bit worried as he keeps moving. Jericho tries to block Ishii’s path but a trash can isn’t enough. Jericho tells staffers that Ishii wants to talk to them. They step in the way but Ishii pushes them aside. Jericho moves faster, pushes more people in the way, but Ishii pushes them aside. Was that RJ City?
Jericho goes up some stairs but Ishii follows. Ishii’s even gaining ground! Jericho goes through a doorway and ends up in the concourse! Fans cheer as Jericho and Ishii keep up their cat ‘n’ mouse game. Jericho decides to go into the stands! Ishii follows, and they head down the bleachers towards ringside! Jericho hurries over railing but so does Ishii. They go into the ring, and now Jericho tells Ishii to stop following him! Jericho wants a mic, a mic is brought, and Jericho says hey, listen, Ishii. Jericho would sign this contract, but he doesn’t have a pen. Ishii has a pen! Oh. Ishii clicks it for Jericho, and pushes it into him.
Jericho takes the pen, looks at the contract again, and still hesitates. Jericho signs his part, and then hands things over to Ishii. But then BRYAN KEITH & BIG BILL ATTACK! It was all a massive set-up! Bad Apple & Redwood beat down Stone Pitbull, and then sit him up! Jericho has the pen ready, but here comes The Conglomeration! Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero rush in, and Mark TACKLES Jericho! Rocky fires off on Bill while Mark CHOKES Jericho! Keith saves Jericho from Mark but Mark fires hands on Keith! The fans fire up, but then Bill SKYSCRAPER- NO, Mark UPPERCUTS Bill first! Rocky adds on!
The fans fire up as The Conglomeration pinballs Bill, and then Ishii CLOBBERS him! Bill tumbles out, but Rocky DIVES! Bill is sent into railing! Keith stands up, into a kick and underhooks! JAY DRILLER! Jericho stands up, Ishii has him, and hits a BRAINBUSTER!! Conglomeration stands tall over The Learning Tree and his Branches, and now Ishii signs his part! The match is now official, and Ishii is looking to take a bite out of Jericho! Will The Conglomeration have the ROH World Championship to be thankful for this year?
Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter.
Renee is with the former AEW Women’s World Champion and notes that last time, we were going to hear from her, only for her to be interrupted by Julia Hart. What is Hayter’s reaction to that? Well, yeah, she isn’t angry, but she is baffled why Julia chose to interrupt Hayter. They’ve never really spoken or interacted, or even wrestled each other. Hayter is just curious as to why Julia felt it was okay to do that. Granted, Julia can do whatever she wants, Hayter moves to the beat of her own drum just as much as Julia. But… if Julia wants to have a chat-
Uh oh, something is happening to the video! Brody King’s message echoes, “It’s time to come home.” Julia Hart walks through the woods. Brody says The House is her foundation. She has seen her rebirth. Now it is time to rebuild. She has woken up stronger, more determined, and more dangerous than ever. Julia aims her arrow to shoot down a target: her past self. Her obstacles are just bull’s eyes. She is the Princess of the Black Throne, and the Keeper of Secrets. She is Julia Hart, and her heart grows harder. She hits her mark, but will she find Hayter Hits Hard?
Orange Cassidy VS Wheeler Yuta!
Freshly Squeezed has been accused of being coldblooded and uncaring, but he got pretty heated as he told The Conglomeration to keep themselves safe tonight. He goes 1v1 with The Decoder, a young man who was once Cassidy’s student, and who left him behind to join the then Blackpool Combat Club. If anyone is uncaring, it is Yuta with how he would then follow Jon Moxley’s lead in the destruction of Bryan Danielson and Chuck Taylor. Who will be the more ferocious fighter tonight, this close to Full Gear?
The bell rings and Yuta SHOTGUNS Cassidy! Yuta follows Cassidy to a corner to CHOP, then ROCK, then CHOP again! Yuta whips corner to corner but Cassidy goes up and out. Cassidy bumps Yuta off buckles, climbs up top, but has to leap over. Yuta comes back but Cassidy catches him to a backslide! TWO, but Cassidy reels Yuta in for a cradle! TWO! Yuta pulls on an ear! But Cassidy arm-drags and wrangles Yuta into the SEATBELT! TWO!! Yuta escapes and the fans fire up as these two stand off. Yuta huffs ‘n’ puffs, but Cassidy shows he wants a grapple. They feel things out, knuckle lock, but Cassidy blocks a kick!
Cassidy reels Yuta in for a headlock, but Yuta powers up and out. Cassidy ducks ‘n’ rolls, tilt-o-whirls, but Yuta suplexes! Into STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE! Yuta tumbles out and fans fire up! Cassidy builds speed to DIVE! Down goes Yuta and the fans fire up again! Cassidy brings Yuta up, whips, but Yuta reverses to reel Cassidy in! Cassidy fights the suplex, but then Yuta fights a suplex. Yuta suplexes, to RAILING BRAINBUSTER!! Cassidy writhes and fans are stunned! Yuta stomps Cassidy, then leaves him behind for the ring count. Cassidy crawls into the ring, Yuta exposes a crossbar, and then he GRINDS Cassidy’s face into the steel!
The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Yuta steps off at 4. Cassidy seethes as he rises up, but Yuta has him at the corner. Cassidy kicks Yuta’s legs out and Yuta falls onto a turnbuckle! Yuta falls back, Cassidy climbs, but Yuta grabs Cassidy first! Yuta drags Cassidy down but Cassidy fires hands. Yuta squeezes the facelock tight, then hits an APRON DDT! The fans boo Yuta while Cassidy writhes, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Cassidy clutches his neck while Yuta waits in the ring. A ring count starts and Yuta eggs Cassidy on. Cassidy reaches up as the count reaches 5 of 10, but he doesn’t sit up until 6. Cassidy hobbles up, stumbles and falls, but springs back to life! He slides in at 9! Only for Yuta to be right on him! Yuta reels Cassidy in, but Cassidy turns that into BEACH BREAK! Cover, TWO!! Yuta survives but Cassidy is too sore to be frustrated. They both sit up, and Yuta crawls his way over to a corner. Cassidy rises, checks his neck, then runs up, but into an ELBOW! Yuta goes up, but Cassidy JUMP FOREARMS! Cassidy positions Yuta just right before he climbs the corner.
Yuta resists but Cassidy still brings Yuta up. Yuta continues to fight the suplex, throws body shots, then shoves Cassidy down. Cassidy rolls back to his feet, runs back up the corner, but Yuta again fights the suplex! Cassidy fires hands, but Yuta fires back! They brawl up top, Cassidy HEADBUTTS Yuta! But Yuta HEADBUTTS back! They both wobble, but then Cassidy BITES Yuta! The ref reprimands, but Cassidy CLAWS Yuta’s back! This is very Moxley of him to do! And then Cassidy hits the SUPERPLEX! Both men are down and the ref checks. They’re both okay to continue, so a standing count begins!
Cassidy sits up, spots Yuta, and heads that way. Yuta sits up, they fire forearms as they stand! Dynamite returns to single picture as these shots go back and forth. The fans fire up for Cassidy but boo Yuta as the shots go faster and faster! Yuta BITES Cassidy’s forehead! Yuta spits then runs, but Cassidy dodges! BODY BLOW! SUPERKICK! Yuta sits down, Cassidy runs, PENALTY KICK! Cassidy slashes his throat, hauls Yuta up, BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Yuta survives but Cassidy seethes. Cassidy rains down fists on Yuta! The ref reprimands about closed fists and hair pulling, but Cassidy doesn’t stop until the ref counts 4.
Cassidy stands, and he throws off the elbow pad! Cassidy aims at Yuta, runs up, but Yuta ducks the punch! GERMAN SUPLEX! Yuta runs to CHOP in the corner! And then a wrench and PAIN THRILLER! The fans boo while Yuta seethes and stands over Cassidy. Yuta sits Cassidy up, for HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! But Cassidy blocks one! And bends fingers, to then SNAP them! The fans fire up as Cassidy SNAPS finger after finger! Yuta swings, Cassidy BOOTS him, then serves up SOLE FOOD! Scoop and MICHINOKU DRIVER! Cover, TWO!! Cassidy is busting out all his best friends’ best moves, but he hasn’t gotten it done!
Cassidy aims, loads up, and ORANGE- NO, Yuta ducks! Orange fights the suplex, switches to O’Conner Roll! TWO, Yuta dodges Cassidy, scoops him, and CROSS LEG TOMBSTONE!! Cover, TWO?!? Cassidy survives and Yuta is furious! The fans are thunderous, but Yuta rains down HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Cassidy grits his teeth but he’s almost a ragdoll! Yuta lets off to then hook the arms, CATTLE MUTILATION!! Cassidy endures as Yuta thrashes him around! Cassidy powers up as the fans rally, and he kicks around to the ROPEBREAK!! Yuta holds on, the ref counts, and Yuta finally lets go at 4!
The ref reprimands Yuta, but Yuta pushes past the ref to go outside the ring. Yuta grabs a chair! Yuta storms into the ring while the fans boo, and the ref says don’t do it! Cassidy dodges the chair shot! Victory roll, CASSIDY WINS!!
Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall
Yuta is in disbelief! Cassidy beat him with a technical move! Yuta snarls but the ref keeps him back. Cassidy did what he promised in beating Yuta, but then he stares his former student down. Is Cassidy going to offer a handshake? WAIT, PAC ATTACKS! The Bastard BOOTS Cassidy down so we’ll never know what Cassidy was going to do! The fans boo more but Pac & Yuta stand on Cassidy. The rest of the Death Riders appear, and Marina Shafir has duct tape! The AEW World Trios Champions stomp away on Cassidy, like vultures picking the bones. Moxley steps into the ring while Marina hands the tape over to Pac.
Claudio puts Cassidy’s hands in his pockets, and then Pac tapes them in! Cassidy is physically bound, and Moxley paces around. Cassidy is pushed around by all the Death Riders, then Moxley DECKS him! Claudio hauls Cassidy back up, the Death Riders keep bullying him, and then Moxley SLAPS Cassidy down! But the bullying continues as they stand Cassidy up. Cassidy “kicks” Moxley! Defiant to the end! But Moxley DECKS him again! Moxley paces around more, then stomps Cassidy right on the face! Moxley leads The Death Riders away, and The Conglomeration finally comes out here.
Mark has scissors to cut Cassidy loose, and the fans boo as The Death Riders still retreat. Cassidy tries to stand up, but he has to use ropes to do it. Even so, Cassidy stands on his own two feet. Moxley eggs on the fans while Cassidy puts his sunglasses on. And then hands up, and then into the pockets! Try as they might, The Death Riders could not break the Freshly Squeezed fighting spirit! Will Cassidy finally become AEW World Champion? Or will Moxley find a way to break Cassidy at Full Gear?
My Thoughts:
A great go-home Dynamite here, though it felt like it contracted Go Home Syndrome. A lot of recap and other promos, but good promos all the same. Good follow-up from last week with Hayter and Hart, that will probably really get going after Full Gear. Good promo from Mariah & Mina to hype up their celebration segment for Full Gear, and with Toni Storm’s announcement of her retirement, you can bet Toni is anything but retired! Toni Storm most assuredly will return very soon, maybe even to ruin the celebration and spark another feud. I still want us to get to Mariah VS Mina but maybe Storm moves things back so that Mariah VS Mina happens in 2025.
Good promo from Private Party to also have AJ & Big Justice show up. The promos didn’t really add much to any of the matches, though. I’m very sure AJ does hit the BOOM on QT to win, and then Private Party finds a way to survive the Fatal 4. Great stuff with Perry, Garcia and Menard, that was another very action movie kind of promo, maybe even like that grittier Batman movie. But with Garcia not sinking to the same lows as Perry, that will be why Garcia loses. Honestly, why not just have Perry blatantly get himself disqualified? What great heat for Perry while keeping Garcia strong in not becoming TNT Champion.
Great promos in this MJF story. I appreciate Cole throwing his support behind Roddy was good, as well as Kyle O’Reilly wanting Cole to just leave it at this. MJF of course insults Roddy over his past while also trashing Cole at the same time, but great response from Roddy. Also I’m not a car guy so it took me a little too long to Google out what car MJF was driving. Anyway, given all these promos, I am very confident MJF wins at Full Gear and then Cole still wants after MJF, only for Kyle to have to fight Cole to make him stop. Then we’ll maybe get Cole VS MJF at Worlds End, or even some time in 2025.
Very good stuff with The Hurt Syndicate, even with them getting jumped by Swerve. Poor Cheeseburger, that’s one fan favorite that got fed to Bobby Lashley. But Swerve getting the better of the Hurt Syndicate again and again tonight, all the more reason Lashley wins at Full Gear. Very good promo vignette from White and Hangman to hype up their grudge match, which still feels it could go either way since they’re tied on the year. And Jericho and Ishii had perhaps simultaneously the most clever and most ridiculous contract signing segment ever. And of course Jericho worked out some sort of trap, only for it to go badly for him and his team. But with that, that means Ishii is losing next week, as I figured he would.
Awesome opening match with the 8 Man, and I liked that they had Hobbs do the “fighting through the pain” angle in the match. Also, great bit with Kyle Fletcher sending Davis into harm’s way so that the Callis Family can get the better of Ospreay’s team. I thought the Faces were going to win here, but the math now says Ospreay finds a way to beat Kyle, and maybe Ricochet takes the International Championship from Konosuke Takeshita. The Continental Classic is coming, and they could easily use that round robin to get Konosuke back to a feud with Kazuchika Okada and they battle for the Continental Championship at Worlds End like we should’ve gotten at WrestleDream.
Awesome match from Kris VS Shida, and I appreciate the crisis of confidence for Shida. Kris gets a great win to go into Full Gear, and then Kris and Shida get the better of Mone & Kamille, so all the more reason Mone finds a way to survive. As for Kamille, I feel like she should ditch Mone for being treated like crap by Mone, and maybe we can get a feud of Mone VS Kamille going into 2025. And of course, plenty of promos from Death Riders and “Team AEW” members. Moxley just kinda went on and on about stuff he’s already said in reference to Cassidy, but I did like Claudio going bilingual in talking trash on Darby.
Awesome matches from those stories, of course. Darby really got thrown around but he continues to show that toughness. Claudio getting the win mostly keeps Darby back so that Darby can build towards a world title match at Worlds End. Cassidy VS Yuta was great stuff, too, with great back and forth of Cassidy wanting to end it quick, having to grit it out with Yuta, and then Cassidy still finding a way to end it with a quick pin. And they did a good job muddying the math. Cassidy wins the match, but the Death Riders beat him down, only for Cassidy to literally stand tall at the end of the show. I still don’t see him taking the world title from Moxley, though, with Darby still in the wings, but this could end up Cassidy’s best match yet.
My Score: 8.9/10

Winners: Shingo Takagi & Yota Tsuji, by pinfall (gain 2 points; Zayne & Taguchi earn 0)
The Funky Sauce was hot, but they’re the ones that got burned! Will they be able to spice things up in the second round? Will Takagi & Tsuji keep the tag league tranquilo?
World Tag League 2024 A Block: Bishamon VS KENTA & Chase Owens!
Hirooki Goto & Yoshi-Hashi once again clash with The Fang & The Jewel, both sides hungry for gold. Will it be Lights Out in the opening round? Or will someone just #Go2Sleep?
The teams sort out but then Bullet Club just attacks! Chase is after Goto and Kenta is after Hashi, and they put each man in corners. The bell rings to get this on record as Kenta TOSSES Hashi.

World Tag League 2024 A Block: Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa VS Gabe Kidd & SANADA!
TMDK has a team in each block, doubling their chances of taking this league. But perhaps burying the lead is the fact that THE IWGP World Heavyweight Champion is joining in the fun! Will The Front Man & The Mullet rock this league right from the start? Or will the Mad Man and the turncoat Cold Skull get this tournament #WarReady?
The teams sort out but Oiwa gets in Gabe’s face. Gabe pushes Oiwa, they start, and they tie up at the bell. The fans rally as Oiwa and Gabe are in a deadlock. They go around at center, then Oiwa digs his heels in to push Gabe back. Gabe turns things around to put Oiwa on ropes, but Red Shoes calls the break. Gable lets off, to then CHOP! Gabe scoops and SLAMS Oiwa, then he goes for legs. Oiwa UPKICKS Gabe, then stands up to scoop and SLAM Gabe! Gabe UPKICKS back, both men get up and go face to face. Then they go forearm for forearm! The fans rally as Oiwa gets the edge, but Gabe CHOPS!
Gabe headlocks. Oiwa powers up and out, and they RAM shoulders! Gabe eggs OIwa on and he runs to RAM Gabe! They both run now, and they RAM shoulders again, and again, and again! Gabe CHOPS then runs, but Oiwa CLOBBERS Gabe! The fans fire up while Gabe bails out. Oiwa eggs Gabe on and Gabe snarls. Gabe shakes the railing in frustration, then he paces around the outside. Gabe cools off, slides in, but then tags Sanada. Sanada steps in slowly, so Oiwa tags in ZSJ. The two rivals circle and the afns rally behind “ZAKKU! ZAKKU!” ZSJ and Sanada feel things out, knuclke lock, and ZSJ rolls to wrench.
Sanada is already frustrated so he kicks ZSJ low! Sanada TOSSES ZSJ out and then Gabe goes after Oiwa! Gabe CHOPS away on Oiwa while Sanada sends ZSJ into railing! And then more railing! Gabe does the same to Oiwa, and Sanada storms up on ZSJ. Sanada CLAWS ZSJ’s back, a definite attitude change showing. Gabe Too Sweets with Taiji Ishimori on commentary while Sanada pushes ZSJ into the ring. Sanada whips ZSJ to a corner, but ZSJ goes up, under, around, and RAMS into Sanada! ZSJ snapmares, Sanada handsprings through, but ZSJ UPPERCUTS him down! Tag to Oiwa and he BLASTS Gabe!
Oiwa goes back to Sanada and stands him up. Oiwa wrenches an arm, YANKS it, then wrenches to YANK it again. Oiwa tags ZSJ and ZSJ brings Sanada around to wrench, step over, and wrangle into a mounted armbar! Sanada endures as ZSJ bends the fingers and isolates the arm, to STOMP it! The fans cheer, ZSJ tags Oiwa, and Oiwa CLUBS Sanada’s arm. Oiwa headlocks for a takeover, then isolates the arm in an short arm scissor! The fans rally while Sanada endures and kicks around.

Gabe stomps Oiwa while Sanada CHOKES ZSJ with a chair! Red Shoes reprimands the War Dogs, but Gabe POSTS Oiwa! Gabe says War Dogs run this, but Red Shoes starts a ring count. Gabe flexes on Oiwa, then drags him up at 7 of 20.
Gabe puts Oiwa in at 10 and Sanada covers, TWO! Oiwa stays in this and the fans rally behind him. Sanada is annoyed but he brings Oiwa up. Sanada CLUBS Oiwa, then bumps him off Gabe’s boot. Oiwa sputters while Sanada tags Gabe in. Gabe drags Oiwa up, mockingly asks where Zack-senpai went, then he UPPERCUTS Oiwa down. Gabe TOSSES Oiwa out, and he BLASTS ZSJ off the apron! Sanada whips Oiwa into railing! Gabe lifts ZSJ bu tZSJ wrenches free to KIMURA! Gabe powers through, to BITE ZSJ on the forehead!

Winners: Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa, by pinfall
Gabe is in shock! He gets right in Red Shoes’ face but Red Shoes says it was a fair count! Gabe then goes after Oiwa to CLOBBER him! The fans boo and Young Lions rush in, but Gabe eggs Oiwa on! So Oiwa obliges and they brawl among the fans! The Young Lions rush in to separate the two, but Gabe gets loose to CLOBBER Oiwa! They scrap, ZSJ joins in, and he pulls the two apart. Gabe kicks a chair in frustration, then goes into retreat. Wait, Oiwa chases Gabe to the ramp and beats him down! Young Lions again scramble in to stop this, but it just heads to the back! Sanada shrugs it off, will the #ColdWarDogs just have to try harder in the next round?
As for the winners, well, they’re no longer ringside so there won’t be any in-ring closing words. Backstage interviews begin, Gabe promises Oiwa will be put in the ground! Will the Mad Man show The Mullet what it takes to be NJPW Strong? As for ZSJ, he gathers himself, and tells NJPW Media that he doesn’t know where The Mullet went. Actually, no, he has an idea: The Mullet must be smashing the s*it outta Gabe. “Roy The Mullet” is the next NJPW Strong Openweight Champion! Oiwa will hit Gabe so hard, his legs will turn into trombones! As for ZSJ, there is something rare happening in this year’s WTL, isn’t it?
Yes, it’s that the IWGP World EFFIN’ Heavyweight Champion is involved, as this should be! The first time the world champion’s been in this tournament in roughly a decade! ZSJ said he was gonna be a different kind of world champion for NJPW, and that he promises to take NJPW back to the top! Now obviously, a conflict of interests, as this tournament is Shane Haste’s & Mikey Nicholls’ to win, but ZSJ won’t give the boys an easy ride. ZSJ is dreaming~ of an all TMDK World Tag League finals! Then who knows, maybe Zack & Roy get the job done.
But ZSJ knows the Tokyo Dome is coming soon. And Shota Umino wants to be ZSJ’s challenger. ZSJ says he will be keeping his eyes wide open for Shota. ZSJ says he’ll have a DOUBLE main event in the Tokyo Dome, it’s in the bag. What about you, Shota? The Front Man heads out, having put the pressure on his challenger, but will all of NJPW soon belong to TMDK?
Here are the A Block standings!
Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa: 1-0, 2 points
Jeff Cobb & Callum Newman: 1-0, 2 points
Shingo Takagi & Yota Tsuji: 1-0, 2 points
Bishamon: 1-0, 2 points
Gabe Kidd & Sanada: 0-1, 0 points
Kenta & Chase Owens: 0-1, 0 points
Alex Zayne & Ryusuke Taguchi: 0-1, 0 points
Shota Umino & Tomoaki Honma: 0-1, 0 points
My Thoughts:
A great start to World Tag League 2024, with just A Block opening things tonight. I will say those tune-up matches were interesting. Even though David Finlay is the Global Champion, it’s Taiji Ishimori that has apparently become Bullet Club’s international ambassador. Taiji brought Robbie X into the group, now he teamed with The Filip Brothers, Tome & Stevie, who knows who else Bone Soldier will recruit. Taiji’s team beating Tanahashi’s team, House of Torture cheating and beating Tanahashi’s friends, this is all putting the pressure on The Ace, meaning The Ace will win out at WrestleKingdom 19.
Shota Umino teaming with Tomoaki Honma, I wonder if this is to hold Shota back somehow. He is apparently still heading for WrestleKingdom and a world title match with ZSJ, so it’s not like Shota needs to win WTL, but I guess NJPW just wants Shota to give the fans a good time alongside a fan favorite like Honma. Also, Callum & Cobb have a fun new shirt for their team-up. I figured Zayne would need to improvise now that #MonsterSauce is no longer happening, and Taguchi was a great surprise choice. But #FunkySauce making its debut against a team as strong as Takagi & Tsuji was a shame because of course LIJ was winning that. Maybe Zayne & Taguchi can pull off a spoiler victory later on, but I don’t see Funky Sauce going that strong.
Bishamon VS Kenta & Chase really was an awesome match, and it is so surprising how Chase has grown in just the past couple years. Great win for Goto & Hashi, though, as they’re clearly the solid utility choices in the tag division. And what an awesome main event, with Sanada bringing out the most Heel stuff he’s done perhaps ever. A bit jarring really, but that’s just kinda old fashioned Heel turns for ya. Great win for TMDK, though, and definitely an unorthodox way of closing by having Oiwa and Gabe brawl all over ringside and into the back.
While ZSJ says it is big for the world champ to be in this tournament, which I do agree with on some level, it also makes some of the A Block action seem secondary. Gabe and Oiwa having their grudge was kinda the main motivator behind this match, and then it’ll be similar when Shota & Honma VS ZSJ & Oiwa happens. There is the added drama of, “What if someone pins ZSJ? Will they get a world title match before WK19?” Maybe Shota solidifies his WK title match by being the one that pins ZSJ in their match, but it all just feels like more flash than substance. No one else is going to pin ZSJ, Oiwa probably takes whatever losses their team will take, so A Block’s story suffers for it.
My Score: 8.9/10
