PLAY BY PLAY
Jey Uso is in the pavilion!
The fans are all fired up with “YEET! YEET! YEET!” and Jey tells ’em, please hit his music! YEET! Jey and son Jace dap and then Jey heads out into the crowd. The fans all bounce along, and while Jey’s shirt is golden, it seems he’s added some blue to the Intercontinental Championship. Jey even gets pyro! Fans then chant “You Deserve It!” and Jey takes a moment to soak that in. Jey has a mic to say, “The Intercontinental Champion, Main Event Jey Uso, is now in your citaaaay~!” Jey has this title, he’ll fight every week for it and fight anyone for it, YEET. “YEET!” Jey paces, collects his thoughts, and says he appreciates y’all, and loves ‘yall.
He thanks them for rockin’ with Jey, for having his back through all the years. He loves y’all, YEET. This is very special for Jey. He walked to the ring with his first singles title, his son, Jace, behind him. It has been a long hard road to get here, Uce. The family made it hard for him. Roman Reigns made it hard for him. Jey’s whole life, he’s just a twin. His wrestling career, he’s just a twin. They didn’t know him but now they know. “YEET!” Jey takes another moment, and says that his biggest fan, though, out of all of him and his brothers, is their mom. Jey spoke to his mom, and she said, “Go out there and show ’em who you are. Go out there and get it!” The fans cheer that!
Jey went out there, he got it, and Mama, we did it! YEET! But wait! Here comes Bron Breakker! The fans are torn as the Badass Son of a Dog Faced Gremlin steps into the ring, mic in hand. Bron eyes the championship, and he tells Jey he is not out here to ruin the fun or crash the party. Bron is here because of the respect he has for the championship. We all know the lineage of that title goes back a long way. And after battling it out with Jey, Bron now has the same amount of respect for Jey, too. Bron told the world how much that title meant to him, how it was his “family,” and that the one who deserved it most should walk away with it.
On that night, Jey was the better man. The fans applaud that respect. Bron promises he won’t spear Jey, attack him or anything. He just felt it should be him as the first one as a colleague to offer congratulations. Bron offers a handshake, and fans aren’t sure about it. Jey accepts the handshake, and the fans applaud. Bron turns to leave, but Jey tells him that there are some dogs in Indiana, Uce! Bron smiles, and takes his leave. Jey is holding the gold, but who will be next to step up? What will Bron aim for next now?
Dominik & Liv hang out by the low rider.
They really like the car, but then Dom gets a call from Finn. Dom heads off, JD & Carlito walk over and Liv explains about the call. Dom asks if Finn’s okay, and Finn says yeah, just some travel problems. But he wants Dom to tell Liv that the business they had is all taken care of. Okay, see you soon. Dom walks back over to the group and explains Liv’s just stuck. The group heads inside, they are roasting outside. But will the heat cause Dom, JD & Carlito to melt down against The LWO?
Xavier Woods VS Rey Mysterio!
While The New Day are on hard times, Woods has been letting it really affect him. He’s lashed out verbally against Kofi Kingston and the LWO, but now he’ll have to put up or shut up! Will Woods prove he is deserving of more by taking down a former world champion? Or will the King of Lucha Libre humble him just a little bit?
Raw returns as Woods makes his entrance alone and in a serious mood. Woods still high-fives fans on the way to the ring, but he’s locked in on Rey. The bell rings and Woods circles with Rey. They feel things out, tie up, and Woods goes after an arm. Woods wrenches and wristlocks but Rey uses ropes to flip through. Rey whips, Woods reverses then drops, hurdles and DROPKICKS! Cover, ONE! Rey’s tougher than that, but Woods HEADBUTTS him! Woods ROCKS Rey, whips him into buckles, then hoists him up for a back suplex. Rey lands out, RAMS Woods into buckles, then runs, but into a BOOT! Woods runs, Rey dodges, and Rey goes up to RANA!
The fans fire up as Woods staggers. Rey RAMS Woods again, runs, and tilt-o-whirl RANAS! Woods bails out but then Rey BOOTS him from the apron! Rey then aims to WEST COAST POP! Woods is down after the seated senton, but Evansville fires up as Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Woods ROCKS Rey! Rey ROCKS Woods! Woods ROCKS Rey! Rey KICKS Woods, so Woods mule kicks back! Woods waistlocks, but Rey fights the lift. Rey fires elbows, fights free, but Woods reels him back in! Rey ELBOWS free and runs, and arm-drags Woods out of the ring! Rey then goes to the apron to ASAI MOONSAULT! Down goes Woods and the fans fire up! A ring count starts while both men are down, and the fans rally. Rey stands at 4 of 10, puts Woods in at 5, then aims from a corner. The fans rally up more and Rey leaps, SEATED SENTON! Rey keeps moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges, springboard CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!
Woods stays in this and Rey is annoyed. Rey calls his shot, the fans chant “6 1 9!” and Rey RAMS into Woods. Rey rains down fists, the fans count along, but Woods stops him at 3! Woods electric chair lifts, but Rey fights with fists! Rey shifts, slips free, and he ripcords to RANA! Woods ends up on ropes! Rey dials it up, 61- NO, Woods ducks the call! Woods scoops, but Rey fights it! Rey has a dragon sleeper, but Woods SNATCHES the m ask away!! Woods is shocked, but then he rolls Rey up! WOODS WINS!!!
Winner: Xavier Woods, by pinfall
The fans boo, and even Woods comes to terms with the line he just crossed. Woods says he didn’t mean to, but what else was he to do? What is going on with Woods right now? And can he get right before it’s too late?
Lyra Valkyria warms up backstage.
But then she’s visited by Pure Fusion Collective. Sonya Deville says she and Shayna Baszler were looking for her. Sonya was thinking about Lyra’s very big match against Zoey Stark. Right, Shayna? Shayna raises an eyebrow at Sonya putting her hand on her shoulder. Sonya removes said hand and says it’s just very unfortunate that Lyra will be all alone out there. No Natalya and, uh, who’s the other one? Zelina. Right, her. Lyra will be alone. But Sonya will be there, and Shayna will be there. Not that Lyra has to worry. Shayna doesn’t bite. Unless Sonya tells her to. Sonya & Shayna leave, giving Lyra a lot to think about. Can The Morrigan still overcome, even facing a stacked deck?
The runes return.
“The shadows grow long. Prepare yourselves.”
Woods returns backstage.
He still can’t process what he just did, but Kofi Kingston walks over. Woods says hey, he appreciates Kofi let him handle that by himself. Kofi says no worries. But did that just happen on purpose? No! Never! Woods respects Rey too much, Rey’s the best. But Woods was also hoping Kofi would congratulate him first. Kofi says yes, congratulations on a win over a Hall of Famer. But speaking of opportunities, maybe this isn’t the right time to say this, but Jey just offered Kofi a chance to face him for the Intercontinental Championship! Next week on Raw! Woods says yeah, he’ll be by Kofi’s side as he climbs the mountaintop, again.
Kofi says no no, hey, Woods won’t be by his side. Because Kofi told Jey thanks, but it should be Woods going for the gold! Jey agreed! WHAT!? Well, yeah, Kofi promised Woods is the QB, he should be the play caller, but Kofi felt this was the right move. Woods says yeah, he loves Jey, but he can beat Jey, too! Woods can be Intercontinental Champion! Yes, he can! New Day is fired up, and Woods says to focus on tonight. Kofi has Chad Gable, and while Kofi let Woods go alone, you know American Made will be out there, so Woods will be there to make sure it is all good. Kofi says he loves that. Time to go 2-for-2! And why?
BECAAAAUSE~! NEW! DAY ROCKS! NEW! DAY ROCKS! Uh, was that Karrion Kross watching in the background? Is he disappointed the seed of dysfunction has yet to take bloom?
Lyra Valkyria VS Zoey Stark w/ Pure Fusion Collective!
The Morrigan was able to take down PFC with Zelina Vega & Natalya by her side, but now she’s alone while La Muneca & The Queen of Harts are on promotional tours. Is this an impossible situation for Lyra? Or can she survive Sin City Stark and her reinforcements at ringside?
The bell rings and Sonya gives Zoey a final pointer. Zoey nods and runs right in! She RAMS Lyra into the corner, fires shots, but Lyra dodges to arm-drag! Lyra has the armlock, but Zoey pulls hair. Zoey whips, trips and kicks, but Lyra blocks. Lyra waistlocks, shoves, hurdles, but Zoey handsprings over the dropdown! Lyra runs Zoey over, covers, ONE! Lyra headlocks, but Zoey hits a BACKBREAKER! Zoey roars and the fans boo, but Zoey whips Lyra to ropes. Lyra holds ropes, hurdles Zoey, and Zoey tumbles out! Lyra runs to WRECK Zoey with a dropkick! Now Lyra roars and the fans fire up while Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Zoey has Lyra in a corner. Zoey CHOPS Lyra, the fans “WOO~,” and Zoey says one more! Zoey winds up, but Lyra BOOTS her! Lyra fires forearms and the fans fire up with her! Zoey swings, Lyra dodges and CROSSBODIES! Lyra keeps moving, she DECKS Zoey, DECKS her again, then SOBATS! KICKS! RAMS! And KICKS! Lyra dodges, runs back, and RANAS! Zoey tumbles, Lyra runs up to ENZIGIRI! Zoey falls over, Lyra covers, TWO! Zoey shows her toughness but Lyra drags her up. Only for Zoey to HEEL KICK! Lyra wobbles, Zoey whips her to a corner. Zoey runs up, but Lyra puts her on the apron! Zoey GAMANGIRIS!
Lyra staggers, Zoey aims, springboard, MISSILE DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! The fans fire up as Lyra stays in this, but Zoey stays on her! Zoey HAMMERS away on Lyra, then drags her up. Z 3- NO, Lyra blocks the knee, reels Zoey in, LEG TRAP GERMAN SUPLEX! Zoey flounders, Sonya gets on the apron, but Lyra DECKS her! Shayna distracts the ref now, and Zoey waistlocks. Lyra switches, O’Conner, but the ref is late to the count! TWO! Lyra hits ropes, and then Zoey distracts the ref so Sonya can KNEE Lyra into the ring!! Z 360!! Cover, Zoey wins!
Winner: Zoey Stark, by pinfall
Well, just as Sonya said, PFC springs into action when she says so. It was basically a 3v1 win in the end, but PFC isn’t done! They drag Lyra up, but wait! Kayden & Katana are back! Katana has a face brace but she still TACKLES Zoey! Kayden DECKS Sonya, but Shayna drags Katana up! So Kayden gets in, and Katana snapmares free! SUPERKICK for Shayna! Sonya gets back up, but Katana sweeps the legs! SUPERKICK from Kayden! The fans fire up as the party girls are getting serious! Katana goes up while Kayden double stacks Sonya & Shayna! KEG STAND SPLASH!! A two-for-one and the fans fire up for KC Squared!
Lyra celebrates with her girls, are they going to make sure PFC regrets ever bullying the Raw roster?
Adam Pearce talks with WWE Security.
The Raw General Manager knows that there will be no stopping Braun Strowman and Bronson Reed, but they must contain them to ringside. CM Punk walks by, he’s headed to ringside next. What does The Best in the World have left say just days before Bad Blood?
Backstage interview with Lyra, Kayden & Katana.
Jackie Redmond notes they’re fresh off this return, and Lyra is very, very thankful they’re back. Katana asks if we saw what PFC did to her face. They broke her nose, so they’re getting what’s coming to them! Everyone around here may think these three are the “nice guys,” but that ends now! And once they’re done with PFC, they will get back their WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships! But then The Unholy Union walks in, mocking this sweet little reunion. But they’ve been gone for months, what makes them think they can just cut the line? The titles belong to Alba & Isla, so they better think twice.
Kayden says shut your mouths! Lyra keeps KC Squared from fighting here and now, and Unholy Union leaves. Who will have next against Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill?
The Cell lowers…
Adam Pearce is in the ring with security as the steel structure descends from the rafters to surround the ring. Pearce says, “Ladies and gentlemen, part of my professional responsibilities that I take very seriously is the delivery of our main events and our special attractions. And on Saturday at Bad Blood, I plan on delivering one hell of a special attraction. CM Punk and Drew McIntyre will go to war inside the unforgiving steel structure you see surrounding this ring, and I can assure you that after Hell in a Cell, their war will be over. Because it has to end! But to get to Saturday, we have to make it through tonight.
“And that means there will be NO physical battle between Punk and Drew McIntyre tonight in Evansville. There can’t be! However, however, I have granted both competitors to fire off one last parting shot in their very bitter war of words. Please join me in welcoming our competitors for Hell in a Cell this Saturday. First, the Best in the World, C M PUNK!” The fans fire up as Punk makes his way out. Punk looks at the Cell, back in its classic silver and not painted red. Punk takes a moment to feel the gravitas of this structure, then steps inside. Punk even climbs up a few feet on one side just to test it.
Punk then steps in to the ring, and he shakes Pearce’s hand before locking his eyes back on the stage. Pearce then introduces the opponent, the Scottish Warrior, Drew McIntyre! The fans boo as McIntyre makes his way out. McIntyre stares Punk down before going to the steel steps. McIntyre touches the chain link, then steps into the ring. Security forms a wall between the two men, but Punk and McIntyre still stare down. Pearce says they have their time to speak, “Any last words?” McIntyre says he’ll go first. The fans chant “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” McIntyre asks if we wonder why he’s wearing a black suit.
McIntyre says this is out of respect. Not for Punk, because he has less than zero respect for Punk. It is out of respect for Punk’s wife. Because after this Saturday, she’ll have to feed Punk, bathe Punk, might even divorce him. And also, this is a tuxedo. Because for the rest of the world, it’ll be a celebration that Punk’s not coming back this time! Punk’s been back less than a year, injured for four months of it, and he’ll be gone all thanks to McIntyre! McIntyre says if Punk doesn’t wanna talk, then he can talk all day. The fans have been watching and listening these 10 MONTHS, and even after all the evidence, they still chant his name! “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!”
McIntyre says brings up last Tuesday, Roxanne Perez the NXT Women’s Champion, saying how she looked up to Punk, got into wrestling because of him, and then spent a few days with him. That’s when she realized how awful Punk is! The people need to open their eyes, look in a mirror, and realize who the idiots are around here! The fans boo, but McIntyre says he sees Punk’s hate burning in him. Punk may have nothing to say, and McIntyre is glad. Once upon a time, McIntyre wasn’t even a blip on Punk’s radar and yet Punk hated him, so McIntyre hates Punk. Punk taught McIntyre how to hate!
There was a time in McIntyre’s life when there was no room for hate, only love. Punk taught McIntyre that hate is a powerful weapon when used correctly, but dangerous if you hold onto it for too long. So that is why lucky for McIntyre, Saturday, Hell in a Cell at Bad Blood, that hate will die with Punk! The fans boo but McIntyre drops the mic. McIntyre turns to leave, chuckling to himself, but now Punk grabs a mic! “Throughout my entire career, people have called me a lot of things. Best in the World. Second City Saint. Voice of the Voiceless. Tonight, I am voiceless, because I have nothing to say to a piece of garbage like you.”
Except that Punk is filled with so much rage when he looks at McIntyre, he can’t go home. Punk’s been living out of a hotel for four WEEKS, so that he doesn’t subject his wife to the man this has all turned him into! McIntyre, “you SOB,” has turned Punk into the boogeyman that the critics called him, but that is who Punk needs to be Saturday to send Mcintyre home to Scotland, in a box! Punk wants McIntyre to remember and never forget that he prayed for all of this, and it happened.
And Saturday, when McIntyre is locked in the Cell with Punk, and Punk has taken everything from McIntyre, and he is gripped with panic, crawling and begging, he will look up as Punk wipes the blood from McIntyre’s eyes so McIntyre can see. It isn’t God or the Devil he’s praying to. McIntyre will be praying to C M PUNK!! Punk drops the mic, the ultimatums have been issued, but who follows through to tear the other to shreds at Bad Blood?
Backstage interview with Braun Strowman.
Cathy Kelley is with The Monster of All Monsters as we are moments away from Last Monster Standing. After the damage induced and endured, is Braun feeling trepidatious going into this match? Braun says he doesn’t even know what “trepidatious” means, but he is not nervous. Braun will remind us all why he IS the Monster of All Monsters when he is the Last Monster Standing. Then any insight to- Wait, The Miz steps in. Miz asks Cathy to give him a moment with Braun. Cathy moves aside and Braun asks what’s up.
Miz says that last week, he had his match with Bronson, and Bruan interrupted. But wait, R-Truth is back! They’re both surprised to see him, and he isn’t sure why. Well, it’s because Truth took FIVE Tsunami splashes from Bronson Reed. Oh? Truth doesn’t remember that. Well, okay… But Braun has his massive match, he can talk with Miz later. He has problems that Miz & Truth started that he’ll go finish. Braun heads out, Truth wishes Andre good luck, and Miz asks what Truth is doing here. Truth says he works here. Yeah, but, why didn’t he call Miz and tell him he was coming? Truth doesn’t know.
But what Truth does know is that he’s been watching Raw, and he doesn’t like how Kross has been picking on Miz. Miz defends Kross isn’t picking on him but Truth says Kross sure has. But look. Truth texted Pearce, and he got Awesome Truth a match. He did? Yep! It’s them versus Aeop. Aeop? Y’know, they got the wizard and the witch with them. Oh no, does he mean A O P? Huh? AOP, Authors of Pain! Oh, is that how you say it? What books have they written? Truth, they’re a tag team! Yeah, but The Awesome Truth is back, and that’s the truth! Truth hugs Miz, Miz says it is good to have him back. But are they both going to need time off after facing Akam & Rezar?
Backstage interview with Sami Zayn.
Cathy Kelley is with the Underdog from the Underground, and says after weeks of rejections from Gunther, what will it take to get that World Heavyweight Championship match? Sami says the rejection isn’t what hurts, it is the disrespect. Though, you think Sami would be used to it because from when his career started all the way to main eventing WrestleMania, there have been doubters and haters who say he doesn’t belong or isn’t good enough. You think it wouldn’t bother him, but it does. And anyone who says it really doesn’t are either lying to you or lying to themselves, and Sami isn’t interested in doing either.
So Gunther saying he wont’ give Sami this shot because he’s not on the level, that hits a sore spot. But Sami won’t lose sleep over it, either, because he knows how good he is, and he knows he is good enough to be THE World Heavyweight Champion! Sami tells Gunther to watch this, because you can keep running your mouth, running away, ducking and dodging Sami, but Sami doesn’t go away that easy. Sami is coming and he won’t stop until he gets that chance. Sami thanks Cathy for the time, and heads out. What will it take for Sami to have his moment?
Six Man Tag: Judgment Day VS The LWO!
While The Prince is off handling some kind of business, his boys are looking to handle business here tonight! Can Dirty Dom, The Irish Ace & Caribbean Cool burn down Dragon Lee, Cruz Del Toro & Joaquin Wilde? Or will things only get worse for Judgment Day this close to Bad Blood?
Raw returns as The LWO makes their entrance. The teams sort out and JD starts against Cruz. They circle, Tie up, and JD headlocks. Cruz powers up and out but JD runs him over! Things get moving, and Cruz arm-drags, arm-drags, but then JD avoids one! But then Cruz avoids an elbow drop! Cruz whips JD to a corner, runs up, and he blocks a boot! Cruz puts JD in the ropes to then jump out and GAMANGIRI! Cruz then goes up to CROSSBODY! Tag to Wilde, but JD RAMS him into the corner! JD RAMS into Wilde again and again, then tags Carlito. Judgment Day double whip but Wilde crisscrosses them up!

The fans fire up as Dragon has targets in the corners! JD ELBOWS Dragon! JD goes up, but Dragon SHOVES JD!
JD keeps from falling off the corner, that leg is at risk, but Dragon drags JD into a Tree of Woe. Dom runs up, Dragon drop toeholds him into JD! Then he drop toeholds Carlito into Dom! The fans fire up as Dragon has all three men stacked! Tag to Cruz, Cruz goes up, to go COAST2COAST!! The fans fire up and Cruz drags JD to a cover, TWO!! JD survives, and Dom drags him to safety.

The fans boo, and FINN IS HERE!?
Finn SHOVES Wilde off the corner! Then JD hits DEVLINSIDE!! Cover, Judgment Day wins!!
Winners: The Judgment Day, by pinfall
The Prince’s call was a fake-out to take everyone off guard! Will Finn have an even sneakier plan in store for Damian Priest at Bad Blood?
Raw returns and Judgment Day is still celebrating in the ring.
They’re all huddled up, talking out something, and then they get the mics. Finn says, “Damian, I heard what you said last week. That you’re gonna rip out my heart? Amigo, you of all people should know, I don’t have a heart! And at Bad Blood, I’m gonna prove to the world that it was you that needed us! It was YOU that needed ME! And that The Judgment Day never needed Damian Priest.” The fans boo, but Liv takes a turn. She says she’ll prove she is a homewrecking, manstealing, heartbreaking, title taking, GREATEST Women’s World champion of all time! And Rhea, at Bad Blood, Daddy Dom will-
UH OH! Here comes Mami! Rhea has a mic of her own, and she tells Liv, “I was with Dom for a very lon gtime, so I know all about his dirty little secrets. Fella,s if you could please bring the shark cage for dramatic effect. One of them secrets, Dom, is that you are extremely–and when I say ‘extremely’, I mean extremely–claustraphobic. So at Bad Blood, when you’re locked inside this shark cage, crying, soiling yourself, cleaning yourself up with your brand new merch, you’re gonna have the best seat in the house to watch your little girflriend realize that when she’s in tehre all alone, that she is just not as good as ME!”
The fans fire up, and Rhea says Dom will watch her win back the title she never lost! But as for tonight, they’re done talking. PRIEST IS HERE! He CHUCKS Carlito, DECKS JD, and then TOSSS Finn to a corner! Priest fires off, Dom & Liv slip away, but Rhea runs up! HEADBUTT for Liv! BOOT for Dom! Rhea throws Dom into barriers! Rhea drags Dom back up, and brings him to the stage! Finn fights back against Priest, but Rhea THROWS Dom at the cage! And again! Liv runs up, but Rhea dares her to try something! Liv runs away instead! Rhea grins, and she goes back for Dom! Rhea kicks Dom, CLUBS her, and then opens the cage!
The fans fire up but Dom begs for mercy. Rhea says nope, get in there! Rhea pushes the door, Dom holds it open, but Liv CLOBBERS Rhea! Rhea fights Liv off, but Dom escapes the cage! Liv and Rhea scrap, but Rhea throws her shoe at Liv! Priest RAMS Finn into a corner! Priest ROCKS Carlito, choke grips JD, but then Finn SLINGBLADES! And then a SHOTGUN! Priest hits buckles, but he still BLASTS Carlito! Finn gets Priest with the EYE OF THE HURRICANE! The fans boo as Finn & JD beat Priest down! Dom returns, the Judgment Day stands Priest up for another SHOTGUN! Priest flounders and Finn goes up!
The fans boo as Finn hits a COUP DE GRACE!! But he’s not done! Finn goes back up, Judgment Day holds Priest down, COUP DE GRACE!! But Finn goes up again!? COUP DE GRACE!!! Judgment Day stands over Priest, will Finn make sure the Punisher never walks again? As for Rhea and Liv, will we finally get a fair fight as Dom dangles overhead?
Sheamus speaks.
The Fella looks at his shillelagh, and says the only thing worse than getting cracked with a cricket bat… is getting hit by a man who he used to call a brother. A man who was his friend. A man Sheamus basically created, and a man he still calls “Butch.” These past few weeks, Sheamus thought he’d knocked some sense into “The Loserweight,” but that sense was lost. Pete Dunne’s gone too far and he is about to find himself on the wrong side of Fight Night. Sheamus knows what Dunne is capable of. He’s vicious, and dangerous. But if he wants to play rough, let’s play rough. One final banger!
So bring the bat, bring the shrug, and whatever you want, because they’ll settle this like they would back across the pond, in a match Sheamus created: The Donnybrook! So what do you say, Butch? The Celtic Warrior has called out his former brawling brute, who will win the brutal battle?
WWE mourns the loss of Pete Rose.
Damage CTRL speaks.
Iyo Sky says last week, she and Kairi Sane beat The Unholy Union. That adds to the list of teams they’ve taken down on their way back to the top. Bianca Belair said next time, she would be ready, but neither her nor Jade Cargill are ready for DMG CTRL. Kairi brings up that Jade says they stand on business, but DMG CTRL doesn’t plan on letting those two stand at all. DMG CTRL plans on making them fall! DMG CTRL challenges The StrongEST Duo for the tag titles, and DMG CTRL vows to take over WWE again. Iyo says they haven’t been the same since losing the titles, so the only way to transform DMG CTRL is to get those belts back!
DMG CTRL is still the most dominant force in the history of the Women’s Division! Iyo is in Bianca’s head already, and now she’ll be living rent free forever when she & Kairi take those titles back! The Evil Genius & The Pirate Princess have issued their challenge and their warning, will Bianca & Jade accept one while ignoring the other?
Kofi Kingston w/ Xavier Woods VS Chad Gable w/ American Made!
While Woods went after Rey over misunderstandings, there’s no twisting this one. Kofi wants to shut the obnoxious Olympian over his disrespect of The New Day’s struggles. Will the Power of Positivity prevail? Or will Gable give Kofi a loss that’s 100% American Made?
Raw returns and The New Day makes their entrance. The bell rings and the two circle. Gable lunges in to then lift and SLAM Kofi, then he waistlocks to gator roll Kofi around! Kofi avoids the bridging cover once, but not twice, TWO! Gable hits a headlock takeover, but Kofi headscissors. Gable kips free, Kofi headlocks for the takeover but Gable headscissors. Kofi kips free, but Gable runs him over! The fans boo but Gable and team soak it up. Gable runs, Kofi hurdles, but then Gable catches him to a GERMAN SUPLEX! Kofi lands out!? Gable runs up, and he MONKEY FLIPS! Kofi lands out again!
The fans fire up and Kofi DROPKICKS Gable down! Kofi then runs to IMPLODER SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Gable bails out and American Made is there. The fans rally for Kofi and he builds speed, but Gable CLOBBERS him in the ropes! Gable then drags Kofi out, GERMAN SUPLEX to the floor! American Made stands tall, and Gable has a bloody cut already, but Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and Gable hits a DIVING HEADBUTT! Cover, TWO! Kofi stays in this and Gable grows frustrated. The fans rally, Woods is also a bit frustrated, but Gable puts Kofi in a corner. Gable CHOPS Kofi, whips corner to corner, but Kofi goes up and up to MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up and so does Woods! Kofi and Gable rise, and “NEW! DAY ROCKS!” echoes out. Gable stands, but into DOUBLE CHOPS! And DOUBLE COHPS! And then a DROPKICK! Kofi runs to then leap, but Gable catches him! EXPLODER! Gable watches Kofi go to a corner, then waits on him. Kofi stands, into CHAOS TH- NO! Kofi victory rolls! TWO!

Kofi TRUST FALLS Gable and the Creed Brothers down! The fans fire up, Kofi puts Gable in, but Julius takes a swing! Woods CLOBBERS Julius! Kofi hurries into the ring, but Gable kicks low! Ivy is on the apron, but Kofi dodges Gable! Woods trips Gabler, but Kofi was also spinning!
The fans are torn as Woods messes up Kofi’s timing! Gable waistlocks Kofi, to CHAOS THEORY!! Bridging cover, GABLE WINS!!
Winner: Chad Gable, by pinfall
Woods is beside himself! He thought he was doing the right thing given American Made was trying to cheat, but he just screws over his best friend! Woods apologizes, but how can he make this up to Kofi? Will Woods winning the Intercontinental Championship be some semblance of redemption?
Backstage interview with Bronson Reed.
Jackie Redmond notes that Seth Rollins being at the Baltimore Ravens game is a good sign he’s on the mend from the brutal attack committed by her guest at this time, BIG Bronson Reed. And does this potential return affect Bronson’s attention going into this Last Monster Standing main event? Bronson says no. In fact, congrats to Rollins! Bronson hopes Rollins comes back, because Bronson took MONTHS from his career, and next time, he’ll take YEARS. And apologies to Braun in advance for exposing him for the man that he is. Because BRONSON is the Last Monster Standing! The Colossal Aussie is ready, but will the rest of the world not?
Pearce does one last talk with his people.
He knows there’s no telling what will happen, but security is ready to step up if something goes wrong. He also needs the referees and medics to be ready at a moment’s notice. And now Gunther walks by. Der Ring General seems to have something to say, after the break.
The Wyatt Sick6 send another message.
“WE SEE YOUR INTENT. ANGER FESTERING INTO RAGE. DO NOT GO DOWN THIS PATH. IT ENDS IN YOUR DEMISE. REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE. YOU KNOW BETTER. DO NOT FORCE OUR HAND. HEED OUR ADMONITION.” QR code. And then a doll…. Who is this message for? Will they even know it’s for them? Or is it already too late?
Gunther heads to the ring.
The fans boo as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion walks out, fresh from a brutal battle with Ilja Dragunov last Saturday in Columbus, Georgia. The bad news from that is Ilja Dragunov is now injured with a torn ACL, which will require surgery and be gone anywhere from six to nine months. As for Gunther, he grabs himself a mic and while fans boo, Gunther says life as World Heavyweight Champion has been fantastic. He loves every aspect of being THE World Heavyweight Champion! Being the top guy, the money, the luxuries, the amenities. But there’s one thing he just hates about his life, and that is the insult of dealing with Sami Zayn every week!
Gunther could not ask for anyone more annoying than Sami. Sami comes out week after week- And he does so now! Sami has a mic to tell Gunther, “If you find it so annoying dealing with me every single week, there’s a very, very easy way to put an end to all of this once and for all. And all you’ve gotta do… is give me what I keep asking for, and put your Heavyweight Championship on the line one-on-one! But you won’t do it, will you? You won’t do it! And I know why. And deep down, Gunther, I think you do, too. So why don’t you just tell me, right here to my face, tell me in front of everyone, tell me right now why you won’t do it. Admit it!”
The fans cheer Sami but Gunther says, “I tried to tell you, I tried to beat it into you. You’re just not on my level.” The fans boo but Sami says if he isn’t on Gunther’s level, why is he the one that won at WrestleMania? The fans cheer that! Sami says Gunther thinks he’s so much better, but Sami’s the one who did it! Gunther beat everyone else! Future Hall of Famers, former world champions, everyone that stepped to Gunther got knocked down, except Sami! Sami pinned Gunther!! Gunther thinks he’s so much better, and that is why it drives him crazy. Gunther knows that if it was Sami VS Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship, Gunther is scared it’ll happen again.
Gunther does his best not to get flustered, but the fans rally behind Sami. They tell Gunther, “You’re A Coward!” Gunther tells Sami that Sami is right. Gunther is afraid. But not of Sami! Gunther is afraid for his own reputation. After all those legendary things Gunther did with the Intercontinental Championship, losing to the better man would’ve been no problem. But losing to SAMI has been the biggest embarrassment of his career! Gunther was so busy embarrassing Sami in front of his own family, that eventually it is what Sami did to Gunther.
Gunther was so confident he’d win, he flew his whole family over. But Gunther didn’t parade them around like Sami does just to gain sympathy. But once it was all done, Gunther went to the back and had to look his father in the eye. Gunther’s father asked him, which Gunther first says in German, then translates: “Son, I flew all the way from Austria to Philadelphia, just to watch you lose to that bum, Sami Zayn!?” So yeah, Gunther doesn’t expect Sami to understand. Sami’s family is used to seeing Sami fail. His family doesn’t expect anything anymore. But Gunther’s family excepts everything from him! He is the golden goose! He is SPECIAL!
And, Gunther is something Sami will never be: World Heavyweight Champion. The fans boo but Sami says Gunther’s right about one thing. Sami’s family has seen him lose, get knocked down many, many times. So what does Sami do? He picks himself back up and keeps moving forward! Now what did Gunther do when he came up short? He CRUMBLED! After Sami beat Gunther, did Gunther ever ask for a rematch? Nope. Did he ask Pearce? Nope! He tucked tail, and he hid! Gunther disappeared off TV for MONTHS! Gunther didn’t show his face here because he couldn’t show his face here! And all because Daddy made Gunther feel like a loser!
Well now, Gunther is showing his dad that his son is also a coward! Gunther CLOBBERS Sami! Gunther is furious and he stomps away on Sami! The fans boo but Gunther takes off his jacket. Gunther drags Sami up, puts him in a corner and shouts in his face! Gunther then winds up, but Sami fights back! The fans fire up, Gunther shoves Sami, but Sami clinches! Gunther fights the lift, but Sami tries and tries, then hits the CORNER EXPLODER! The fans fire up and Sami goes corner to corner! But Gunther catches Sami into a SLEEPER! Sami fades, but Gunther then spins Sami around, hoists him up, GENERAL BOMB!!
Sami sputters while fans boo. Gunther says if Sami wants the title shot so bad, then he’s got it! The fans cheer, because at least Sami gets what he wants! But after this beating, will that title match be absolute violence? Or will it be just the chance Sami needs to climb the mountaintop?
The Awesome Truth VS The Authors of Pain w/ The Final Testament!
R-Truth is back, and back to his old ways of getting Miz into some deep… water. But can Truth & Miz survive a run in with Akam & Rezar? Or will this be the Final Chapter for the former tag team champions?
Raw returns and AOP makes their entrance. Truth & Miz get fans to cheer them and boo AOP, but then the teams sort out. Truth starts against Rezar, and he fires off shots at the bell! Rezar shoves truth, but Truth ducks ‘n’ dodges to shoulder tackle! Rezar stays up, so Truth keeps moving! Truth throws more shoulders, but Rezar runs up! Truth gets around, to SPIN OUT BOMB! The fans fire up and Truth says “You Can’t See Me!” Shoutout to Cena with the FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE! Truth fireman’s carries, but that’s a lot of beef! Rezar hoists Truth up to DOMINATOR! Rezar talks trash but fans boo.
Kross keeps talking to Miz, being that little devil on his shoulder, but Rezar stomps Truth. Tag to Akam, and the AOP mugs Truth. The fans rally for Truth, but Akam drags Truth up. Akam tags Rezar back in, and the AOP mugs Truth some more. The ref reprimands but Rezar covers, TWO! The Albanian Psycho HAMMERS Truth, tags the Punjabi Powerhouse, but Truth slips free of the back suplex! Turth DUMPS Rezar, CALF KICKS Akam, and the fans fire up as he crawls! Hot tag to Miz! Miz fires up… to BOOT TRUTH!?!? The fans boo but Kross is laughing like it’s the funniest thing ever! Kross brought out Miz’s villain side, and Miz is leaving Truth!!
Truth is stunned, more from the betrayal than the shot, but Akam drags him up! Tag to Rezar, WHAT A RUSH!! Cover, AOP wins!
Winners: The Authors of Pain, by pinfall
The fans still boo Miz, but Final Testament stands tall as they truly ended a tag team! Will the AOP be in line for those World Tag Team Champions by any means necessary?
Backstage interview with Imperium.
Cathy Kelley is with Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser, and she says that it seems Sami got under Gunther’s skin. What Sami said got Gunther to give him that world title match, which now happens next week. Gunther repeats, “Under my skin? Yeah, it-” But then Bron Breakker walks in. Bron eyes the world title, then says sorry. Just wanted to see it for himself. Gunther chuckles and tells Kaiser, “He really is a badass.” Bron says yeah, that’s right. And you’ll see sooner than you think. Bron leaves, Gunther and Kaiser don’t seem to take him seriously. But if Gunther doesn’t take Sami seriously, will he lose another title to the Underdog from the Underground?
Last Monster Standing: Bronson Reed VS Braun Strowman!
These human kaiju have been battling across these United States, but it all comes down to this! They’ve broken a car, a commentary desk, and even parts of the backstage area, will anything be left intact as we determine who is THE Last Monster Standing?
The bell rings and Braun CLOBBERS Bronson! Then he whips Bronson, but Bronson ducks ‘n ‘dodges and CLOBBERS Bruan! Braun bails out, but Bronson goes out the side. Bronson runs up but Braun sends him into steel steps! The steps go flying but Bronson is down! The ref counts, but Braun pulls the steps apart. Bronson stands at 5 of 10, so Braun RAMS him with the steps! Bronson stays up, so Braun RAMS him again! Bronson leans on the commentary desk to stay up, so Braun puts the steps down. Braun drags Bronson up to the top of the steps, to CHOKE SLAM him through the desk!!
The fans are thunderous already as a standing count starts. Bronson stirs at 4 of 10, pushes himself up at 5, and stands at 6! Bronson says it’ll take more than that, and Braun says there’s more where that came from! The monsters are gearing up, but Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Bronson SAMOAN DROPS Braun in the ring! The count starts but Braun stirs at 2. We also see a bunch of chairs gathered together outside the ring. Bronson waits on the apron, and Braun drags himself up with ropes to stand at 6. So Bronson reels him in! Braun fights the suplex while the fans already freak out! Braun HEADBUTTS Bronson, runs, and he DECKS Bronson! Bronson falls onto the chairs!! The chairs are all bent up from that impact and the fans again lose their minds! Braun leans on ropes to stay standing, and Bronson stirs. Bronson clears the chairs out, he crawls to the ramp, and manages to stand at 6.
Braun storms up behind Bronson, and he CLUBS Bronson on the back! These behemoths go up the ramp and to the stage, and Braun whips. Bronson reverses to send Braun into the LED boards! Bronson finds a chair, brings it over, but Braun ROCKS him first! Braun grabs the chair to SMACK Bronson! And SMACK him again! They go around to the tech area! Braun SMACKS Bronson on the road cases! Braun then climbs up, hauls Bronson up, but Bronson CLAWS Braun’s face! Bronson then fireman’s carries, to DEATH VALLEY DRIVER down through spare tables!!! The fans lose their minds again and the ref checks both men.
The count is on both men as they’re down in the wreckage. Bronson stirs at 4, rises at 5, and he stalks Braun. Braun sits up at 6, but he stands at 8! Braun stalks Bronson, and CLOBBERS him over barriers! The fans fire up while Braun catches his breath. The count is on Bronson, he stirs at 3. Braun climbs over barriers to stalk Bronson, and Bronson stands at 6. Braun whips Bronson into steel steps, and Raw goes to break!
Raw returns once more and Bronson runs up to CLOBBER Braun through barriers! The fans fire up, and Bronson pushes the pieces of barrier around. Braun is still down at 5 of 10, and then 7. Braun pushes himself up at 8, so Bronson runs in again! Bronson CLOBBERS Braun through MORE barriers!! The front row is just barely safe from that impact and the fans lose their minds again! Bronson staggers up, Braun crawls, and now producers hurry out here to check on fans while also working on the barrier. Bronson drags Braun up and into the ring, and security helps with the barriers. Bronson says bet, and he goes up a corner!
Bronson aims to TSUNAMI!! Braun sputters, but with no ref to count, Bronson shouts at him! The ref wants to make sure the front row of fans is alright first, so Bronson says fine, and he goes up again! TSUNAMI!! The fans are torn but Bronson has to shout at the ref to get his attention. Bronson storms in, CLOBBERS security, and tosses them into the ring! Bronson drags the ref over, but now Pearce gets mad! Pearce tells Bronson to not disrespect officials, but now Bronson grabs Pearce! Security has to stop Bronson, but BRAUN is up top?!? ONE BIG CROSSBODY!! The fans are going nuts as Braun bowls down a dozen men!!
The ref recovers, and he sees both monsters are down. “This is Awesome!” as the count begins. Bronson is already up at 3?! Braun sputters, his own dive taking the most out of him. Braun rises at 6, then drags himself up to stand at 8! The fans fire up as now Braun rips his shirt away! Braun storms up on Bronson, pushes him into the ring, tells the ref to watch this time, and he climbs back up! The fans are thunderous, but Braun’s big lungs need more air. Bronson CHUCKS a chair at Braun!! Braun wobbles up top, and Bronson climbs! The fans anticipate what’s coming, and so does Braun, so he fires body shots!
Bronson CLUBS away on Braun in return, then roars! Bronson hauls Braun up to the very top, SUPER DUPER PLEX!! And the ring falls apart!! Braun, Bronson, all the security guards and even the ref are down on the floor, but Evansville is giving a standing ovation! But someone still has to stand to win! The ref sits back up, and he counts! Bronson stirs at 3, but who is this coming out? SETH ROLLINS?!? The Visionary aims at Bronson, CURB STOMP on the steel steps!!! Seth FREAKIN’ Rollins just got his revenge, and Braun stands first!! BRAUN WINS!!
Winner: Braun Strowman
Bronson talked trash and he just found out what happens! But now that Rollins IS back, is he going to make Bronson regret ever targeting him?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Raw as the go-home to Bad Blood, though it felt a bit talkier than usual. I suppose that’s because they also needed to hype up next week’s big episode, which will only be two hours because of the deal made with NBC/USA Network and all that. For one, good opening promo from Jey, especially since he got to have that moment with his son before his entrance. Given that, I believe Jey’s pauses were about being emotionally overwhelmed by this moment, which is totally understandable. He and Bron have a good moment together, and it was a very subtle way of them both officially moving on from that feud.
Good interweaving of New Day’s story into the Intercontinental Championship scene at this point. Great matches of Woods VS Rey and Kofi VS Gable, and with very clever “controversial” endings. Woods accidentally snatching Rey’s mask to get his win was so good, and what great timing with Woods tripping Gable when he didn’t have to. Jey VS Woods is going to be really good because maybe more and more of this Heel behavior comes out, which Kofi will take offense to, and that alone is why Woods loses to give Jey a solid first defense.
Great promos from Sami and Gunther, with them both using the other’s family as a point of weakness. Gunther losing his cool and giving Sami’s match from there was a good detail. The only thing is, Bron having his interaction with Gunther tonight almost gives away Sami isn’t winning next week. As great as it would be for Sami to finally have a top title, hard to say it happens here if they’re teasing Bron VS Gunther. And great promo from Sheamus to set up what I was hoping for in the Donnybrook. For just being two hours, next week’s Raw is going to be big just off that and the two title matches.
Also a good promo from DMG CTRL to call out Bianca & Jade, that’ll be a really good match, but hopefully the previous cases of bad timing will be fixed. Maybe it’s that Kairi just keeps wanting to do Joshi Strong Style and that’s not what Bianca or Jade are ready for. Good stuff from Lyra with PFC and then KC Squared, and I do appreciate the meaner attitudes from Kayden & Katana. Not that they have to suddenly be just as rough and tumble as PFC or DMG CTRL, but as The New Day has over the years, there’s a time to be positive and fun and there’s a time to kick ass. And with Unholy Union getting on their cases and PFC still needing comeuppance, it’s time to kick ass.
Very good stuff with Judgment Day, and clever move with Finn’s phone call lowering our guard. But between the Six Man Tag win and Finn standing tall over Priest, Priest is definitely winning that match. Though that would likely mean Rhea doesn’t beat Liv for the title, because there’s still a way to cheat even with Dom stuck in the shark cage. Also Dom took some wild bumps tonight but I’m sure he’s fine. I can’t be sure what either result really means, as I don’t think this feud ends just yet. Maybe Rhea has no choice but to let someone else challenge Liv after this, but Rhea could still find an outside way of helping that person since Liv always has Dom helping her.
Very good promos from McIntyre and Punk tonight to cap off the build to their Hell in a Cell blowoff. Though, I will say that while Punk said he has nothing to say to “garbage” McIntyre, he obviously did. Kind of that trope of “I’m speechless” but then the person keeps talking anyway. Good stuff, didn’t really change the math, and the math has been pretty dead even for a few weeks. McIntyre won at SummerSlam, Punk won at Bash in Berlin, this could really go either way depending on who they want moving up to the world championship as we head for Crown Jewel, Survivor Series, and so on.
I still like the idea of McIntyre losing and being so pissed that he has to be sent to SmackDown. McIntyre then becomes a fresh challenger to the US and WWE Championships, mostly the US because that’s the title McIntyre hasn’t held yet. And then great stuff in this larger (pun kinda intended) story of Bronson Reed and Braun Strowman. It seems Truth returning to encourage “Andre the Giant” and getting Miz in a match with other giants like AOP was the last straw. I didn’t think Miz would turn on Truth during the match, but I suppose that saves time of Awesome Truth losing, then Miz making it seem like he’s consoling Truth only to turn on him.
Kross broke up this team easier than he has New Day, but it was a good detail for him to be watching New Day from afar. I suppose we can get Truth VS Miz from here, and chances are Kross goes for another target. Bronson VS Braun was awesome stuff, and everyone could just feel that this was going to be the newest “ring breaking superplex” spot akin to Lesnar VS Big Show, Big Show VS Mark Henry, and Big Show VS Braun Strowman. Bronson getting in on that is a great honor, and then what a great moment for Rollins to return. Rollins costs Bronson, that’s their feud going forward, and who knows what Braun does aside from maybe help Truth against Miz for what Miz did tonight.
My Score: 9/10

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
