That double underhook DDT… NO WAY! CORA JADE HELPED ROXIE?!? An old friend might be an ally again, but will Cora expected a reward for this?
Fraxiom prepares… with video games?
Axiom knew WWE 2K would be a great way to prepare for next week’s title match. Nathan Frazer says A-Town Down Under is just as annoying in game as they are in real-life. But it won’t go like last week! Axiom agrees, but ATDU wants them angry. They gotta keep their emotions in check. In game or IRL? Both. What? Well, they just won the titles back, Axiom doesn’t wanna lose them already. Frazer agrees. Then don’t be a hothead! He’s not! But then Frazer takes the loss in the game… Oops. Frazer says that’s on Axiom for distracting him. Axiom says it still proves his point. Frazer takes a moment and sees Axiom is right. Wanna go again? Sure!
But while you can rematch instantly in a game, there will be no second chance against Theory & Waller in St. Louis. Can Fraxiom stay on the same page and keep this reign rolling?
Ava Raine talks with CM Punk.
She knows Punk’s mind is on Bad Blood, but she needs him to keep Ethan VS Trick clean. Punk promises, he is right down the middle with this match, and the winner will be deserving. But in steps Lexis King with a Chicago star in his fade. The King welcomes the Best in the World and asks Ava for a minute to talk with Punk. Ava obliges, and Punk asks about that star. Well, Lexis is a star, and they are in Chicago. Out of respect for Lexis’ father, Punk will allow it. How can Punk help him? Lexis says he is just trying to not be like his dad, he’s trying to be a better man. He tried doing that last week, but he could’ve also won.
Lexis could’ve bent the rules, he didn’t, and he lost. Punk saw that, Oro Mensah did get one over on him. So it sounds like there are the two wolves and Lexis has to figure out which one he listens to. Either Lexis wins at all costs, or he fights against the genes he was born with. Lexis appreciates that advice. They fist bump and Lexis heads out. Will Lexis be able to rise above the drama and be the better man?
Lola Vice & Jaida Parker prepare backstage.
Miss Parker tells Vice City to stay in her lane and they will get this W. Lola says no one tells her what to do. Lola takes lead. No, that ain’t happening. They argue over who needs who in this fight, but Kelani Jordan walks in to say they need each other! Save it for Fatal Influence. Jaida says she’ll handle them and Lola can just… Lola says no, SHE will handle them! They head out, and Kelani says goodness gracious. Good thing she’s got a backup plan. Will the NXT Women’s North American Champion need to get involved in order to humble Fallon, Jacy & Jazmyn?
Chicago Street Fight: Wes Lee VS Zachary Wentz!
MSK’s falling out continues to escalate, as No Mercy didn’t prove anything. At least, in the eyes of The Cardiac Kid. Trey Miguel made sure Wes couldn’t cheat his way to a win, but Wes made him pay for it. This is now a battle of revenge, will Zach avenge Trey? Or will Wes prove he was always the best of the Rascalz?
NXT returns as Zach makes his entrance. Wes is already waiting with a kendo stick in hand, but he FLIES out first! Zach dodges, then DIVES as the bell rings! The fans fire up as Zach takes Wes down, rains down fists, but Wes pushes free. Zach RAMS Wes into the apron! And then throws him into barriers! Zach huffs ‘n’ puffs while the fans fire up for “T N A! T N A!” Zach THROWS Wes into his own shopping cart! Zach then pushes Wes over, stands the cart up, and he goes Jackass on Wes as he RAMS that cart into him! Wes is sandwiched between cart and steel steps while Zach paces in anger.
Zach pushes the cart aside, drags Wes into the ring, and the fans say, “We Want Tables!” Zach paces as he hears the fans, so he goes looking under the ring. And instead of a table, he brings out a BIG piece of plywood. But Wes DIVES into the wood, taking Zach down hard! The fans fire up as Wes stomps Zach, then puts Zach in the ring. Wes throws a chair into the ring, and then another, and another, and another! And then another! And another! That’s what, half a dozen? Wes storms into the ring, grabs that kendo stick, and he winds up to SMACK Zach on the back! Zach flounders, but Wes SMACKS him again!
Zach writhes, Wes stands him up, but Zach dodges the strike to SUPERKICK! The stick goes flying so Zach grabs a chair! Zach SMACKS Wes on the back! Wes staggers, clutching an arm, but Zach SMACKS him with another chair! Wes leans against ropes, the fans want that “One More Time!” but Zach runs up. Wes puts Zach on the apron, but Zach has a SLEEPER! The ropebreak won’t matter, but Zach drags Wes over to the apron! When did that plywood and chairs get set up!? But Wes fights free, only for Zach to SLEEPER again! They FALL down through the wood!! The fans lose their minds, and NXT goes to break!
NXT returns and Zach climbs a corner, with Wes stuck in the other behind a trash can! Zach brings out his inner RVD, FULL METAL COAST2COAST!! The fans are thunderous all over again, and Zach drags Wes from the corner. Cover, TWO!! Wes survives, but Zach is too beat up to be upset. Zach wedges a chair in a corner, then sets another chair up by the ropes. Zach goes to Wes, but Wes fires body shots! Wes KNEES low. ROCKS Zach, then whips him. Zach stops himself but Wes SHOTGUNS him into the corner chair! Wes keeps moving, and he tilt-o-whirls, but Zack SLAMS him on the other chair!!
The fans again lose their minds as Wes writhes in agony! Zach pushes Wes to a cover, TWO!! Wes stays in this, too angry to give in. Zach goes outside, finds a kendo stick, tosses as trash can in, and then stalks Wes. Zach SMACKS Wes with the stick! And again! Zach puts the can around Wes and the fans fire up! Zach SAMCKS away on the trash can pinata! Wes falls over, Zach DOUBLE STOMPS the can!! Zach pushes Wes into a drop zone, and he goes up the corner again! SWANTON BOMB!! The can is crashed, Zach covers Wes, TWO!! Wes survives and no one can believe it! Zach drags Wes out of the can while fans cheer “NXT! NXT!”
Zach takes aim as Wes rises, and he runs in to go up the ropes, only for Wes to SHOVE him! The UFO crash lands past the table!! The target zone was missed by a mile, and Wes loves it! The ref checks Zach, but Zach is still moving so he’s somehow still in this. Wes pushes Zach into the ring, and Zach rests on the chair. Wes springboards to DOUBLE STOMP Zach against the chair!! Cover, TWO!!! Zach survives and Wes is beside himself! Wes brings out a steel chain!? “This is Awesome!” as Wes wraps that chain around his fist! But wait, Zach has the other end! Zach has done the same, and they DOUBLE KNUCKLE DUSTER DECK each other!!
The fans fire up as Wes and Zach crawl. Zach goes to a corner, grabs a chair, and then glares at Wes as he rises. Zach storms over, but Wes wants mercy!? Zach says he doesn’t wanna do this either, but he has to! So Wes LOW BLOWS!! And he ROCKS Zach with the steel fist! And again, and again, and again! Wes makes Zach take a seat, then goes up the corner. Wes wraps a leg with steel chain, to FULL METAL METEORA!!! Cover, Wes wins!!
Winner: Wes Lee, by pinfall
Chicago gives this Street Fight a standing ovation! Wes finally proves to Zach, and perhaps himself, that he’s been the better fighter all along. But how will Wes live with himself after going to such lengths against a former brother?
The Miz is in the ring!
Fans boo but the Hollywood A-Lister smiles. Miz wants them to tell him how they really feel. But on that note, he welcomes us to the Most Must-See WWE Talk Show, Miz TV! And we are live in Chicago! Oh, now they cheer. But this is the NXT debut on CW, and we’re all looking forward to later on tonight, THE NXT Championship match. But right now, Miz wants to talk the NXT North American Championship match for next week in St. Louis. His guests are both the champion and the challenger. First, the man closing in on becoming the longest-reigning NXT North American Champion in history, THE RULER, OBA FEMI!
The fans cheer as Oba makes his entrance and goes to the ring. Oba shakes Miz’s hand, and then Miz welcomes The Don, Tony D’Angelo! The fans also cheer as Tony makes his entrance, followed by The Family. Tony is all fired up to be here, and he shakes hands with Rizzo, Stacks & Luca before heading to the ring on his own. Tony joins Miz and Oba, everyone takes a seat. Miz welcomes them both and says he will start with Tony. We’ve seen the preparation, and Tony has admitted to being afraid of facing Oba again. What makes the match different than No Mercy?
Tony says that his entire life, he has been the guy to strike fear in the hearts of others. He’s roughed up some wise guys, fixed a few problems, but Oba dominates in every facet. There is a reason Oba is the most dominant North American Champion. Tony felt that power, that aggression, that explosiveness. But Tony has used this fear as motivation to do the unthinkable. And next week, Tony will stand toe to toe with Oba, dethrone The Ruler, and become the NEW NXT North American Champion! Fans are torn on that but plenty cheer. Miz asks Oba his response.
Oba says Miz has been in this business a very long time. Long enough to know when a man really believes what he’s saying and when he doesn’t. And Oba can say this: Tony doesn’t believe a single word he’s saying. Miz asks if Oba’s sure about that. Oba says he is. Oba will give Tony this: Tony’s had a very successful NXT career up to this point. But a man like Tony has a ceiling. You can stuff as many people as you like into trunks, throw them off bridges, and have whatever side hustle you desire. But the one thing you can never be is North American Champion, because it is OBA’s title! The fans cheer that one, too!
Tony says Oba sits there, talking like he knows Tony. He talks like he knows where Tony’s from. Tony grew up 20 minutes from this building. He grew up on the streets of Chicago! The fans definitely cheer that now. Tony has family in the back, in the crowd, extended, immediate, and even friends who believe and motivate Tony to be the man he is today! Oba tells Tony that they can’t fight for him! Luca, Rizzo, Stacks, NONE of them can fight for Tony. None of these people here can! Next week, it will be just Oba and Tony in the ring, and we all know what happened the last time: Oba BROKE Tony, BEAT Tony, and planted doubt in his mind.
And Oba knows Tony is questioning himself, and we know the answer to the questions. Tony, you cannot beat Oba! Tony gets mad and stands up, but Oba also stands. Miz scoots out of the way and waits to see what happens. The fans wanna see it go down, but Tony says Oba is still just a man. Oba shakes his head and says, “I am inevitable.” Tony frowns, but Oba says Tony is still broken. Miz says the North American Championship is on the line in St. Louis, Oba VS Tony! And from the looks of it, it will be… AWESOME~! Everyone has said their piece, but who backs their words up with actions when we get the rematch?
NXT Media catches up with Cora Jade.
The reporter says Cora sure made an impact in her return, and Cora says yeah, yeah, the whole world is so hypnotized by the debut of Giulia and the hype surrounding Stephanie Vaquer that they forgot about “The Savior of the Women’s Division,” Cora Jade. But she knows everyone thought Giulia- Wait, here comes Roxie. Roxie asks what the heck, but Cora explains. While these two have history, Cora kinda likes who Roxie’s become. Plus, Roxie is still champion. You’re welcome. Well, who knows, maybe common enemies can bring them back together. Roxie heads out, will these two bad girls become the baddest duo yet?
Lola Vice & Jaida Parker VS The Fatal Influence!
Speaking of baddest duos, the combination of Vice City and Miss Parker is perhaps the baddest combo, on paper. But in practice, these two are still rivals and are so obsessed in beating up The Influencers that they can’t even see it’s better to work together than against each other. But at the same time, only Fallon, Jacy & Jazmyn know who’s stepping up to the plate. Which toxic two take the fight to Parker & Vice?
NXT returns and Fatal Influence makes their entrance. Just by who is dressed, it is obvious that the Toxic Cowgirl and the Toxic Rockstar are stepping up, their toxic protege on standby. But Kelani Jordan is on commentary, this must be her backup plan. The teams sort out, and Jaida starts against Jacy. The two tie up, go around, and then break. They tie up again, go around some more, and Jacy puts Jaida on ropes. Jaida pushes Jacy but Jacy pushes back. Jaida headlocks, hits the takeover, but Jacy kips free to SLAP Jaida! Jaida SLAPS back! The fans fire up as Jaida headlocks, but Jacy powers out.

Lola wrenches Fallon, tags Jaida, but Fallon ROCKS Lola! Jaida KNEES Fallon low, whips her to a corner, then runs up.

The fans cheer, and Jaida actually low-fives Lola. Lola clamps onto Fallon’s arm but Fallon fights back. Lola wrangles Fallon to STOMP a hand! Lola fires hands in the corner, Jaida tags in, and Jaida RAMS into Fallon again and again. Lola tags back in, fires more hands, but then Jaida tags back in. The chemistry isn’t quite lasting but Jaida still runs Fallon over! And runs her over again! Jaida wrenches to ARM CODE BFRAEKER!
Fallon hits back, hits Lola, then ROCKS Jaida! Fallon reaches for Jacy but Jaida holds her back! It is a tug-o-war, but Jaida KICKS Fallon’s legs! Fallon JAWBREAKERS back! Both women are down, the fans rally up, and both women crawl! Jacy runs up, so Lola THRUST KICKS her first! Jaida isn’t sure what that was but Lola explains. Fallon CLOBBERS Jaida from behind!

NXT returns again and Jacy has Lola down in a body scissor squeeze. Lola endures, pushes back to a cover, TWO! Jacy holds onto the squeeze, but the fans rally as Lola fights around. Lola tries another cover, TWO! Jacy lets Lola go, runs up, but into a mule kick! Lola TACKLES Jacy, but Jacy turns it around to rain down fists. Jacy KICKS Lola and she goes to a corner.

Fallon stays up, but then drops. Fallon rolls through, pushes free, but DOUBLE LARIATS take both women down! The fans fire up again as both women crawl. Jazmyn storms over to Jaida! Jaida is distracted, and Fallon sends Lola into her! Lola mule kicks Fallon, and then Lola argues with Jaida! Jaida says forget it, she’s done. Fallon CLOBBERS Lola!

Winners: The Fatal Influence, by pinfall
Toxic as they are, they are united, and they used the dysfunction to their advantage. Jacy has a mic to say, “And that is a statement made!” Fallon says their next target is the NXT Women’s North American Championship! So Kelani, come on up and show us she’s a fighting champion! Kelani knew they’d call her out, and yeah, they could go right now. But she didn’t exactly come to Chicago alone. Oh? JADE CARGILL & BIANCA BELAIR ARE HERE?! The StrongEST Duo has shocked everyone, and they help Kelani take the fight to The Fatal Influence! A scoop and SLAM for Jacy, a BOOT for Fallon, and Kelani smiles as those two are double stacked!

The real backup plan pays off, and the Women’s North American Champion stands tall alongside the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions! Will The Standout make sure the Influencers shut up once and for all?
Je’Von Evans speaks.
He still can’t believe it! He gets a match from Randy Orton for St. Louis. And we’re talking the Legend Killer, the Apex Predator, the Viper. That’s like the original Young OG. Randy Orton himself says he was given opportunity after opportunity, that is how he got to where he is today. Randy wants to be the first to give Je’Von such an opportunity. Je’Von says Orton is one of his guys, one of his favorites, but he knows when he goes to Orton’s hometown, he needs to be more than a fan. He gets to face one of his idols. Orton is sure one day, Je’Von could be the next Apex Predator, so this is him testing what Je’Von is made of.
Orton knows the odds are kinda stacked against him, but this could be the match that makes Je’Von THE top prospect in NXT. Je’Von say she will be bringing the best version of himself. Orton admits he has an ulterior motive. He wants to see if he can hit Je’Von with an RKO that knocks everyone’s socks off. Je’Von says all love and respect here, but sometimes a legend has to lose. He’s as ready as he’ll ever be, but will the Young OG eat an RKO?
A new force is coming to NXT.
She’s strong, she’s sturdy, and she’s on her way! Will NXT brace themselves for the change Delta is about to bring?
NXT Championship, Special Guest Referee CM Punk: Ethan Page VS Trick Williams!
All Ego came into NXT out of nowhere, bold and brash as he’s always been, and found his way into taking this title in Toronto for NXT Heatwave. But Trick has scratched and clawed his way back, and was able to #FigureItOut with Pete Dunne. Will the solution to this Ethan Page problem be to Whoop Dat Trick? Or will this new era of NXT still be the Era of Ego?
NXT returns and Trick makes his entrance, followed by Ethan’s. The introductions are made, the belt is raised by the Second City Saint, and we see who truly leads NXT into the future!
The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, but Ethan powers Trick back. The fans rally with “WHOOP DAT TRICK!” while Punk counts, and then Punk backs Ethan off.

The confetti flies as the new era is truly here! Will Trick make this the greatest chapter both in his career and in NXT history?
My Thoughts:
An awesome NXT for the CW debut, but sadly, like with SmackDown on Fox, WWE did not anticipate regional ownership affecting when NXT airs. It doesn’t change the quality of this show, it just annoys me that I’ll have to wait an extra hour for this show to be on. But as I just said, nothing of quality was hurt. I love that we have this new overall color scheme, we can call this the “Silver & Black” era, though there is plenty of yellow and gold still showing up in graphics and the brand new belts. And those brand new belts are looking GOODT! Naturally, HBK & HHH were here tonight, great introduction from them.
Great NXT Women’s Championship match to start us off, with only mild timing issues as this is only Giulia’s second match in NXT and it’s more an issue of slowing down. But Cora Jade’s return being to help Roxie retain is definitely unexpected. I had been wondering if Cora and Roxie would ever reunite, and this could be leading to that, but we’ll have to wait and see. Stephanie Vaquer did say last week that she gets next, and then we got a very good vignette for Delta. That plus if Giulia doesn’t bring up the “controversy” of tonight’s match, Ava Raine herself might, and we get some great matches to see who really has next.
Likewise, the story of Fatal Influence is continuing to build a Women’s North American Championship match. I figured Jazmyn was the odd Influencer odd, and that said third woman would just be a distraction factor in the match. Jaida falls for the usual Face cliche of misunderstanding her rival and ditching her, which is why she and Lola lose. But great move bringing Bianca & Jade in to back Kelani up. While Bianca has already done so much in WWE, and while Jade has AEW experience before coming into WWE, they can be thought of the highest achieving NIL recruits as Bianca was a track & field star at Tennessee and Jade was a basketball standout all before either of them got into pro-wrestling.
So great brawl where Kelani stands tall alongside the StrongEST Duo. The resulting Six Woman Tag either sees Jazmyn eating the pin, or Fatal Influence cheating their way to a win. Whoever pins Kelani is definitely the one getting the title shot at Halloween Havoc, Sunday, October 27th. Which could be a lot of fun if they Spin the Wheel & Make the Deal on it. Though, Wes and Zach basically raised the bar on what NXT and even WWE does for a No Disqualification match. I wish there was picture in picture tonight, especially for that Street Fight, there were spots shown in replay that I would’ve rather seen live. But as I figured, Wes wins tonight so that he and Zach are 1-1, and we can even use Halloween Havoc to settle things once and for all.
Fun promo from Fraxiom, though a little surprised we haven’t gotten more promos of them just hanging out together before. But with how A-Town Down Under stood tall last week, I’m very certain Fraxiom retains. Very good promo from Je’Von and Orton, and Orton hinting at wanting an amazing RKO, you can bet Orton counters either Je’Von’s flying cutter or his twister splash into an RKO. And very good Miz TV with Tony and Oba having their final say going into the match. But with this Rocky 3 inspired story, you can bet Tony finds a way to win. And as I said last week, that mostly just means Oba can then move up to the top title.
Very good promo from Punk with Ava and Lexis, and I like that Punk is helping facilitate Lexis’ Face turn. And great stuff in the main event, especially with Ethan constantly arguing with Punk. Also there’s a hilarious video on WWE’s social media that has Punk trying the classic HBK special guest ref look of the little bike shorts that are a little too tight. Anyway, great work as a ref from Punk, and great win for Trick. It’s as I said where NXT being on a new channel, it just works to have a new champion, and a Face champion at that, lead things. Trick is now a TWO-TIME champion, on the same level as Finn Balor, Shinsuke Nakamura, Karrion Kross, Tommaso Ciampa and Bron Breakker. Ethan probably doesn’t go away, though, as I don’t see anyone else ready to challenge just yet.
My Score: 9/10

Winners: Katsuyori Shibata & Private Party, by pinfall
Five years later and it’s another shocker! Perry taunts Shibata with the TNT Championship, but The Bucks do give applause to Private Party. Will The Elite have to be much more careful if they want to keep their gold?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
Private Party may have won tonight, but they still need to earn their title shot! They’ll be in a Triple Threat against Top Flight’s Darius & Dante Martin and The House of Black’s Malakai Black & Buddy Murphy! The winners will be the NEW #1 contenders, who will get to live the WrestleDream against The Bucks? Plus, other rising tag teams are in action as the Grrrizzled Young Veterans take on The Outrunners! Will Zack Gibson & James Drake make everyone understand they are SSSSOON to be recognized as AEW’s top guys? Or will the Youngest Men Alive show ’em that they ain’t seen nothing yet?
Then, while Wheeler Yuta is preparing to team with Bryan Danielson against former friends in Claudio Castagnoli & Pac, he is going to have a 1v1 match with BEEF! Will Anthony Henry’s second cousin through marriage just be an appetizer before the main course on Dynamite? Darby Allin may have made an Open Challenge for WrestleDream, he has a Collision with Johnny TV! Will Darby show us all how relentless he is? Or will he find he’s just not #TVReady? If you thought last week’s Lucha Libre Triple Threat was something, this week is a Fatal 4 Way of Hologram, Komander, Action Andretti and Nick Wayne!
Plus, Willow Nightingale is targeting Mariah May and the AEW Women’s World Championship, but she takes on The Infantry’s Trish Adora first. Will The Babe with the Power use The AfroPunk as a tune-up for the title match? Lastly, while The Conglomeration is in action against The Learning Tree’s Branches here tonight, they’ll have to turn right back around to face The Premier Athletes, Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari. Will this whole weekend be Freshly Squeezed?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with The Galaxy’s Greatest and notes we haven’t seen Kris in action since her win at All Out. What does she have her sights set on next? Kris says we could all sense that Chicago Street Fight was the end of an era for her. She has been in a group, she has had a manager, and with the anniversary of Dynamite just passing, let’s bring it back to how she started in AEW: on her own. Kris is stronger, more independent, she’s like, a “Born Again Kristen.” We all saw that she is the toughest, the strongest, and- Kamille steps in. The Brickhouse asks if that’s right. Biggest? Toughest? Strongest? Her match is next.
Kamille pushes past Kris, and Mercedes Mone follows. The CEO tells Kris, “You better watch, b*tch.” Mone laughs, did she just put herself on Kris’ radar?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is now with the wacky Aussie and says while she’s in a match tonight with Queen Aminata, does Harley have an update on Saraya after that vicious match with Jamie Hayter? Harley says Saraya is currently incapacitated. No further questions. But what about her match with- NO further questions! Then what about…? Oh, yes, yes, her match. She should say something on that. Harley tells Aminata, “You are in a lot of trouble. RAWR!” That’ll do, right? Sure… Harley heads out, will she take out her frustrations on Aminata tonight? Or is she going to end up “incapacitated” alongside Saraya?
Kamille w/ Mercedes Mone VS Zoey Lynn!
The Brickhouse is The CEO’s big investment, and insurance policy. Will the former NWA World Women’s Champion remind us why she is a former NWA World Women’s Champion? Or can Zoey bring her down with some Angel Dust?
The bell rings and Kamille SPEARS Zoey!! The fans boo but Mone says Kamille has arrived! Kamille drags Zoey up, dragon sleepers, and TWISTING NECKBREAKER! Cover, Kamille wins!
Winner: Kamille, by pinfall
Mone raises Kamille’s hand as they both stand over Zoey Lynn. Between The CEO and The Brickhouse, will no one stop them from taking over AEW?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Renee is now with The Queenslayer, and says she had a tremendous showing in her return to AEW last week. It got a lot of people’s attention, but especially Will Ospreay. Anna says yes, Ospreay tweeted out a compliment on how great she has improved, from footwork to pacing, so she thanks Ospreay for that. He’s not too bad himself. Having one of the greatest wrestlers alive today see your hard work paying off is one of the best feelings ever. So if Ospreay sees it, then you know the AEW Women’s Division is seeing it. So if you don’t take her word for it, and if you don’t take Ospreay’s word for it, just do her a favor and try her.
Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie speak.
The Virtuosa says, “This thing of ours operates according to a code. That those who want respect give respect.” La Wera Loca says, “It’s simple, elegant.” Deonna has shown Taya generosity, and Taya accepted it. Despite early missteps, Deonna remains committed to this thing of theirs, because Taya has earned Deonna’s respect by owning the misstep. Taya says there is much to learn for “I” to become “We.” Deonna says that is what is missing in a place like AEW. These two must teach AEW that they are all bound together by the code. Those that want respect must give respect. And those who refuse get it beaten into them!
Queen Aminata VS Harley Cameron!
The One True African Woman may have Serena Deeb in her sights, and the wacky Aussie may have Jamie Hayter on her mind, they both must focus on who is in the ring with them. Will Aminata prove to the Professor that she doesn’t need the lessons? Or can Harley show Hayter that she’s not the only one who hits hard?
The bell rings, the two circle, and Harley KNEES low! Harley headlocks, Aminata powers up and out, then waistlocks. Harley fights the lift, throws elbows, then runs. Aminata gets around to waistlock and SLAM! The fans fire up while Harley hobbles up. Aminata and Harley circle again, Harley gets around to waistlock, but Aminata wrenches out. Aminata wristlocks, brings Harley down, then steps over to twerk attack! Aminata wrenches more, but Harley kicks low! And KICKS again! And ENZIGIRIS! Aminata wobbles, Harley brings Aminata in and, uh, wait, aren’t The Iron Savages the ones who take us to Tiddy City?
Harley runs, but Aminata ROCKS her! Amianta snapmares Harley, runs, and PENALTY KICKS! The fans fire up while Aminata smiles, and she stalks Harley to a corner. Aminata runs around the world to BOOT WASH! Aminata reminds us she is the one and only, and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Aminata pushes Harley around, brings her up, but Harley bails out. Harley says timeout, but Aminata goes out after her. Aminata storms up but Harley KNEES her low, then THROWS her by her hair! Harley CHOKES Aminata on the outside, but Aminata kicks her away. The ref reprimands but Harley grins. Harley storms up on Aminata, SMACKS her off the apron, and then soaks up heat. Harley puts Aminata in the ring, continues to play coy, then storms up to HIP DROP Aminata. Cover, TWO! Harley is annoyed but Aminata fires body shots. Harley CLUBS Aminata down, then clamps on a chinlock.
Harley grinds Aminata down, but Aminata endures. Aminata fights up, fights back, but Harley knees low again! Harley bumps Aminata off buckles, stomps a mudhole in, but steps off as the ref counts. Harley bumps Aminata off more buckles, then grinds her boot in. The ref counts, Harley steps back, and she drags Aminata up. Harley brings Aminata around to throw her down by her hair! Cover, TWO! Aminata stays in this, but Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and Harley ELBOWS Aminata in the shoulder! And ELBOWS her again! Harley LICKS Aminata, then runs to SHINING WIZARD! Cover, TWO! Harley overcommitted on that deep leg hook, and Amianta survives for it. Harley runs in, but Aminata puts her on the apron! Harley ROUNDHOUSES, puts Aminata in ropes, and AX KICKS her down! The fans boo but Harley aims, to then run and- NO, Aminata blocks the kick to trip Harley up! Harley hits the apron hard, and Aminata brings her around. DOUBLE CHOP! The fans fire up and Aminata puts Harley in the ring. Aminata storms up but Harley fires forearms!
Aminata ROCKS Harley! And DOUBLE CHOPS! Harley falls, jumps back up, but Aminata wrenches and snap suplexes! And LARIATS! Cover, TWO!! Harley survives but Aminata stays cool. Aminata runs in again, but Harley avoids the boot wash! Harley RAMS into Aminata again and again, but the ref counts. Harley lets off, huffs ‘n’ puffs, then runs in. Aminata goes up and over, comes back, and she catches Harley’s crossbody! The fans cheer as Amianta swings, but Harley sunset flips through! High stack, TWO! Aminat ais up, she dodges Harley, and scoops again! Harley tilt-o-whirls but Aminata powers her to a BACKBREAKER!
The fans fire up, QUEEN’S CROWN!! Cover, Aminata wins!
Winner: Queen Aminata, by pinfall
The former #BrainDrain gives Aminata a great win, but then Serena Deeb attacks from behind!! The Professor is pissed, and she SLAMS Amianta’s leg on the apron! Serena grins as she grabs the leg and pulls it against ropes in a HALF CRAB! Aminata taps, but here comes Britt Baker! The Doctor is returning the favor from Wednesday, but Serena bails! The Professor got her shots on Aminata, but will the walls start closing in?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Renee is now with Max Caster, Anthony Bowens & Billy Gunn, and Caster is still sporting the remade jacket. With that, let’s talk MXM Collection. It is hard to keep track of what is going on, but Billy speaks up. He doesn’t mean to correct her, but he is “Hans!” Hans Gunn! But MXM, how stupid are you to not know it was Billy? It was Billy all along! So stupid, trying to embarrass The Best Wrestler Alive, try to embarrass The Acclaimed, with a makeover on Caster’s jacket. Y’know what? Caster likes the lace, how it makes his arms look bigger. And this heart cutout makes his muscles look popping! He looks as handsome as ever!
Bowens says that’s right! Before, they were gonna cut that thing up. But no, MXM just embarrassed themselves. Acclaimed said to nut up or shut up, and they sure shut up MXM real quick. Just like they will do if they get in the ring. Because once The Acclaimed is done with MXM, they will get the makeover of a lifetime. WHY? Because EVERYONE Loves The Acclaimed! When and where will Platinum Max & The Scissor King cut down the Sultan of Suave and the Mahogany Hunk?
BREAKING NEWS for WrestleDream!
After Konosuke Takeshita attacked Will Ospreay and Ricochet on Wednesday, it seems the only way to settle this International Championship scenario is with a TRIPLE THREAT! Will The Alpha finally have gold in AEW? Will the Aerial Assassin finally be done with The Don Callis Family? Or are they both overlooking The One & Only?
Orange Cassidy & Kyle O’Reilly VS “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith!
The Conglomeration has been very busy this week. They were here Wednesday to confront The Learning Tree, and we now have Mark Briscoe VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship at WrestleDream. But speaking of, Jericho is joining commentary to watch his guys, The Redwood & The Bad Apple. Will Freshly Squeezed & The Violent Artist prune these Branches? Or will they be made to respect Chris Jericho?
The teams sort out and Cassidy starts against Bill. The fans rally as Cassidy and Bill stare down, and Bill mocks the hands in pockets. The fans boo, but Bill says show him how it’s done then. Cassidy puts his hands near pockets, but Bill runs up! Cassidy dodges, sunset flips, but Bill stays standing. Cassidy stops trying, and Bill YANKS Cassidy up! Bill whips, Cassidy stops by holding ropes, and then Casidy bails out. Cassidy shakes his head, knowing his limits against a man as big as Bill. Bill mockingly holds the ropes open and calls to Cassidy like a puppy dog. Cassidy steps up, but then rolls into the ring.
The fans cheer as Cassidy lounges on the mat. Bill storms up but then Cassidy rolls back out of the ring. The fans cheer more while Bill gets annoyed. Bill storms out, Cassidy slides in! Bill steps back in, Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges and tags Kyle! Kyle runs up but Bill RAMS him! Kyle drops out of the ring and the fans cheer. Bill is annoyed as he watches Kyle & Cassidy coordinate. They go up, Bill runs up, but The Conglomeration drops back. Bill is getting mad, but The Conglomeration high-five and the fans cheer. Keith says don’t worry, Bill, just cool down. Keith and Bill talk strategy while Kyle finally returns.
Bill tags Keith and the fans rally up. Keith and Kyle circle, but Keith takes a swing on Cassidy! Cassidy avoids it, and Kyel waistlocks to then wrangle Keith. Kyle floats all over, slaps Keith around, then eggs him on. The fans cheer, but Keith frowns. Keith SLAPS Kyel! Kyle storms up, Keith bails out, and the chase is on. Bill is lurking, but Kyel dodges him! BOOT for Keith! But Bill has Kyle with the guzel! CHOKE- NO, Cassidy DROPKICKS Bill! Bill lets Kyle go but he also stays up. Bill frowns, but Kyle BOOTS him, then Kyle FLYING KNEES Keith! Cassidy DIVES and he sends Bill into railing! Kyle pushes Keith into Bill, and then KICKS!
Cassidy “kicks,” Kyle KICKS, and repeat as Rampage goes pictur ein pnicture!
The KICKS and kicks keep going, then it’s just all KICKS as Cassidy gets serious! The Conglomeration puts Keith in, DOUBLE KICK Bill, then Kyle hurries into the ring. Kyle fires knees into Keith, then tags Cassidy. They whip Keith, kitchen sink knee, and basement dropkick! Kyle runs to KNEE DROP, Cassidy runs up, to cover! TWO! Cassidy checks and yes, it was a two count, so Cassidy gives thumbs up. Cassidy brings Keith up, ROCKS him, and tags in Kyle. Kyle climbs up and rains down fists! Kyle goes all the way to TEN, then tags Cassidy back in. Cassidy climbs up, and he rains down fists! Well, just one really. Snapmare, cover, TWO!

Kyle paces around, we get a great shot coming through one of the Pittsburgh University halls, and Rampage returns to single picture. Kyle tags Cassidy, they mug Keith but Keith fights back! Keith suplexes Cassidy, but gets STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE!
Kyle steps up to AX & SMASH! Kyle clinches Keith, Cassidy takes aim, but Bill runs up! Cassidy dodges Bill, Keith breaks free of Kyle, and Cassidy runs at Keith! Keith ducks the Orange Punch to send Cassidy back at Bill for a HAYMAKER! Keith hits an EXPLODER on Cassidy, but Kyle grabs a leg! ANKLE LOCK!! Jericho shouts to roll out, Keith does roll, and Kyle is sent into a HAYMAKER! Keith waistlocks to GERMAN SUPLEX! Tag to Bill and the fans are torn.

Cassidy runs, tilt-o-whirls on Bill, but Bill stops the DDT! Kyle slips in, and he dropkicks Bill’s leg! Bill drops to a knee, but he still holds Cassidy up!

Down goes Bill at the ramp and hard! Conglomeration hurry to get Keith!
ORANGE ANNIHILATION!! Cover, Conglomeration wins!
Winners: Kyle O’Reilly & Orange Cassidy, by pinfall
The numbers game didn’t go how Jericho wanted, and his team is on the losing end! Will this be the same for when The Learning Tree takes on The Sussex County Chicken in Tacoma, Washington? Or will The Ocho still become The Nueve?
Meanwhile, Kyle & Cassidy only have 24 hours to rest, because they have a Collision with The Premier Athletes tomorrow night! Will Pittsburgh be Freshly Squeezed all weekend long?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here, which is interesting as there’s word Rampage is going to be shut down for whatever show AEW puts on Fox Sports 1. Honestly, they should’ve been trying hard the whole time with Rampage but whatever. Kamille probably had the shortest squash match in AEW yet, but it was to make a point after she and Mone got in Kris’s face. Kris’s promo was still rather Heel like, but it’s a bit surprising that she and Stokely Hathaway have just parted ways with no real pomp or circumstance. And pitting her against Kamille and Mone would be quite the way to turn her back to Face. Not that Kris’s attitude needs to change, she’d just be Face by default with those two.
Very good promo from Deonna & Taya, this maybe should’ve been given to us a bit sooner, but it also doesn’t really add much to the story. Good promo from Anna Jay, can’t wait to see what’s next for her. Good promo from Harley to segue into her match, which was a great match. Like Anna Jay, Harley is really improving, but Aminata still gets a great win. But of course Serena attacks Aminata, and then of course Britt Baker saves Aminata. I feel like we could get a tag match of Britt & Aminata VS Serena and who knows, but it’d be a great opportunity for any Heel to get on TV, maybe have someone actually take Serena up on teaching them things.
Great opening Six Man Tag tonight, definitely higher quality than what they usually put on Rampage. And it was rather surprising Shibata & Private Party took the win here, if only because they also announced that Triple Threat #1 Contenders match during it. I kinda though that news undercut what was going on in the match, regardless of who won. But given the feud between House of Black and Top Flight, I feel like Private Party wins out and they get the tag title match. As it stands, it doesn’t feel like Shibata or Private Party win the titles at WrestleDream, mostly because The Elite might cheat, but it’d be so great if Private Party finally won the big one.
And great main event here, even if this feud of Conglomeration and #JerichoVortex is going a little longer than needed. I really hope Jericho VS Briscoe for the ROH World Championship is the blowoff, and hopefully with Briscoe retaining. Not sure what that would mean for either team, but if it’s what we’ve all been hoping, i.e. Jericho mistreating Bill and Bill turning on Jericho, that’d be nice. Bill can maybe get himself going on a title story, too, using even just one win over Jericho as the springboard towards the TNT or Continental Championships.

PLAY BY PLAY
Nashville’s own HARDY is here!
The country music star is in the ring, and he welcomes Nashville to Friday Night SmackDown. Give a warm welcome back to the Phenomenal One, AJ STYLES! The fans fire up as Styles makes his return to SmackDown after four months since Clash at the Castle! Styles high-fives fans as he goes to the ring, with a new song to boot. The fans cheer on Styles while he grabs a mic, and that energy pumps him right up! Styles soaks it in a little longer, then says, “I have missed you guys so much. And it’s only fitting that I’m here in Nashville, Tennessee tonight. This is where it all started for AJ Styles.
“And over the past couple months, I’ve done a lot of things that I regret. Things I may not be forgiven for. But I’m not here to talk about the past. I’m talking about tonight, and rebuilding the legacy of AJ Styles.” The fans fire up for that! Styles knows there are guys who don’t like him, and he doesn’t blame ’em. But they’re also guys who need to be reminded that this is still The House That AJ Styles Built! Wait, Carmelo Hayes makes his way out! Melo tells Styles that after everything Styles has done, it’s no surprise there isn’t a long line of guys to welcome him back. But that’s okay, because Melo has taken it upon himself to do that.
Melo goes to the ring while fans boo, but Melo says he doesn’t need to reintroduce himself. Styles knows who this is. This is H1M, Carmelo Hayes, the man who beat Andrade three times, and the one who’s been holding it down while Styles has been gone. The fans boo but Melo says believe it or not, he’s actually a huge fan of Styles. He loves old timers like Styles! And Melo is sure Styles is going to announce the giant Legends contract he just signed, which he deserves. But if we’re talking things deserved, lets’ talk about Melo for a minute. The fans boo more but Melo says a guy like him, who deserves to be US Champion, not LA Knight and not Andrade.
Styles says if it’s okay with Melo, here’s some friendly advice. Styles has been in the ring with Knight, and Knight is relentless. The fans cheer “YEAH!” and Styles says Knight came to Styles’ house. “YEAH!” Styles and Knight had a match at WrestleMania. “YEAH!” Melo stops Styles there and says he doesn’t need advice. Melo doesn’t take advice… from quitters. The fans boo but Styles says okay, he earned that one. But Melo thinks he’s that good? He is. If he were that good, if Melo was H1M, wouldn’t he be US Champion by now? Melo says if Styles was still so phenomenal, then he’d be WWE Champion now.
The fans chant “He’s Not Him!” and Melo gets annoyed. Styles says how about this. Melo is in gear, Styles is in gear, they’re in the ring, this is Nashville, so why don’t they fight right here and right now? The fans like that idea! Melo puts his sunglasses and says, “Nah, I’m good.” Melo goes to leave, but here comes Knight! The fans fire up as The Mega Star stands on stage, mic in hand, and says, “LEMME TALK TO YA!” Knight says ain’t this a familiar sight! Someone wants to fight Melo, and what’s he do? He wants to run away! But Styles, Knight won’t pretend like they’re friends. They’ve been through it all!
And to be honest, the last time we saw Styles, he was misleading Knight, misleading the world, saying that he was gonna retire, then he made a liar of himself! So Knight has nothing to say to Styles. But look at this. Knight sees Melo, saying he deserves this, he’s H1M! Well yeah, he’s him! As in the guy getting stomped out here tonight! The only question is, there are two options. First: Knight can basically go down there, punch Melo in the mouth four or five times, head out to Broadway, have some drinks and a good night. Or: Styles, well, it seems like he made a challenge to Melo, Melo wasn’t ready to take it, so Knight can go make Melo take it.
So if Melo can beat AJ Styles right here and now, Knight will make a case to Aldis that Melo can get the shot he so thinks he deserves at the US Championship! But regardless, the chances are, Melo gets stomped out, Knight still goes out to have a sip, and when it’s all said and done, tell you what? Everybody’s still saying “L A KNIGHT! YEAH!” Now let’s get a referee to get this done! The Mega Star is calling the shots, but will Melo end up winning that title shot? The ref is here so we’re about to see!
A search is on.
The sirens are blaring and the engines are revving, but just who are we looking for? “Coming Soon…”
Carmelo Hayes VS AJ Styles!
SmackDown returns and the bell rings. Melo and Styles circle, tie up, and Melo throws Styles aside. Melo eggs Styles on but the fans boo. Knight watches from ringside as Styles and Melo reset. They tie up, Styles clinches for a BACKBREAKER! Melo goes to ropes, Styles fires hands and CHOPS! Styles CHOPS Melo again, then whips Melo. Melo reverses to kick and CLUB Styles, then KICK him again! Melo fires hands, then facelocks. Melo puts Styles in a corner to CHOP! Melo pie faces Styles, CHOPS again, but Styles turns things around to CHOP and CHOP and CHOP! The fans fire up and Melo drops to his knees.
Styles whips Melo, Melo reverses to ELBOW him! The fans rally for Styles as he reverses a whip. Styles hurdles, drops, and DROPKICKS! Melo checks his teeth and bails out of the ring. Styles storms up to ropes but the ref has him stay back. Melo rises, Styles eggs him on, and Melo takes his time going to the apron. Styles storms up but Melo slips away again. The fans boo but Melo says he does this on his time. Melo steps in, then kicks low! Melo CLUBS Styles, taunts the fans, then whips. Styles holds ropes, ELBOWS back, then goes up to QUEBRADA! Melo gets under, comes back, CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!
Melo grins as he drags Styles up and reels him in. Melo snap suplexes, covers, TWO! Styles stays in this but Melo drags him up to TOSS him out! The fans boo but Melo paces. Styles rises up, Melo soaks heat from a corner, but Styles is on the apron. Melo storms over, ROCKS Styles, then DECKS him! Styles goes to the floor, Melo slips out and brings him up. Melo RAMS Styles into the desk! Knight stands up to stare Melo down, the fans rally up, and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and Melo has Styles down with a HALF CRAB! Styles endures and the fans rally up. Styles crawls over to the ROOPEBREAK! Melo lets off, but then yanks on the leg! Styles kicks Melo away with the good leg, then kicks him again. Styles rises, fires the Phenomenal Blitz, and that LIRAT! The fans fire up as Styles SLIDING FOREARMS! The fans fire up while Styles grits his teeth. Melo goes to a corner, Styles runs in, and hits a LARIAT! Styles brings Melo out to fireman’s carry, USHIGOROSHI! But on the bad leg! Both men are down, but the fans rally up. Styles goes to a corner, the ref says call it!
Winner: Carmelo Hayes, by referee stoppage
The fans boo, Styles is furious with himself, but injuries can’t be helped. Styles storms off, just barely walking on that leg. But as the announcement is made, Knight gives Melo a B F T! The Mega Star told Melo if he won, he’d talk to Aldis, but Knight is letting Melo know this is about as close as he’s getting to the belt. Will Knight give H1M that title shot just to hit it ‘n’ quit it?
Dumpster Match: Chelsea Green VS Mia Yim!
The Hot Mess said Michin is nothing but trash, but she’s been talking so much trash, she has to be full of it herself. Who will be feeling down in the dumps after this one?
While Chelsea is dressed like a waste management Barbie, Mia is bringing the toys: a trash can full of kendo sticks! The bell rings and Chelsea is already asking Mia to show mercy. Mia does, by throwing her a kendo stick. Now they’re even. Chelsea swings, Mia dodges and she SMACKS away on Chelsea! Then Mia DROPKICKS Chelsea out of the ring! The fans fire up as Mia runs to DIVE! Down goes Chelsea and the fans fire up! Mia pushes Chelsea in the ring, then goes looking for more goodies. Mia brings out a cookie sheet, a chair, and another trash can! And just as fans want, a TABLE! The fans cheer as Mia puts this table in the ring.
Chelsea dives but Mia SAMCKS her with a cookie sheet! Mia puts Chelsea back in, goes up a corner, and then MISSILE DROPKICKS! The fans fire up while Chelsea tumbles out. Mia hurries, and she fireman’s carries! Chelsea clings to the dumpster, slips free of Mia, then SHOVES Mia into the side! Chelsea SUPERKICKS Mia, then STOMPS her into the side! Mia is down but the fans fire up, and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and Chelsea has Mia on the apron. Chelsea storms up to ROCK Mia, and ROCKS her again! Mia wobbles, Chelsea runs, but Mia ducks under! Mia ROCKS Chelsea again and again, then steps in, TORNADO DDT! And then a GERMAN SUPLEX! Chelsea flounders around, but Mia wrenches her for EATE- NO! Chelsea holds ropes to stay up! Chelsea hops on, for a DESTROYER!! Even Chelsea is surprised! Chelsea TOSSES Mia into the dumpster! She just has to close it! Mia blocks the lid! The fans fire up as Mia powers out, and SMACKS Chelsea with a trash bag! And again! And again! Hefty, Hefty, Hefty!
Mia SMACKS Chelsea again, then climbs out of the dumpster. Mia SMACKS Chelsea more, pushes her into the ring, and fans still want the table to come into play. Mia looks, finds the cookie sheet, but Chelsea dodges! Chicken wings, turn, but Mia wrenches out! EAT DA FEET! Mia hurries to put the trash can around Chelsea! Payback for what Nia Jax did weeks ago! Mia goes up top, to SUPER SENTON on the can!! The fans are thunderous for Mia compacting the trash! And then Mia goes to the table! The fans fire up as Mia brings that around, puts it across the dumpster, she wants to go hardcore with this one!
The fans are thunderous again, but then here comes Piper! Piper CLOBBERS Mia while wearing a cowgirl hat and a full hazmat clean suit! Piper says yeehaw, then SENTONS! Then she runs up, CANNONBALL into the dumpster! Mia dodges disaster, and she hurries into the ring! Chelsea crawls out of the can, then runs up to BOOT Mia! Mia wobbles, Chelsea goes out to the apron! Chelsea drags Mia up, reels her in, but Mia fights the lift! Mia fires elbows, blocks a kick, and hoists Chelsea up! POWERBOMB THROUGH THE TABLE AND INTO THE DUMPSTER!! Nashville is going wild as Mia rises up! Mia gets up, out, and CLOSES the lid! Mia wins!!
Winner: Mia Yim
The Head Baddie In Charge just took out the trash! The Hot Mess is gonna need a hot shower, maybe three or four, but she’ll never live down the embarrassment. As for Mia, will she make her way to the top of the Women’s Division no matter who she has to fight, or how she has to fight?
AJ Styles is checked out by medical.
The trainer tests his leg from knee to foot, and while Styles can move the leg, it is very painful. X-rays are going to be needed so Styles will be on his way to a Nashville hospital. Did the Phenomenal One’s comeback get cut short already?
Naomi prepares backstage.
Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill check on sis, and Naomi is ready to go. They know she’s gonna handle Tiffy Business cuz she’s always talking mess. But enough about Tiff, let’s talk about the beautiful titles Bianca & Jade won back. They shine them up, and Jade says after Naomi gets the W, “we” are going to turn it up in ATL! Huh? “We?” Yeah, they ain’t speaking French now. We three that is The Big 3, they ALL get to host Bad Blood! Naomi is all fired up for it! A-Town Stomp! Bayley joins in but that kinda ruins the mood.
The StrongEST Duo heads out, and Bayley says sorry for interrupting. Bayley just wants to go over what they talked about. Bayley will call out Nia and tell her to her face that Bayley wins at Bad Blood. And when Bayley does, Naomi is #1 contender. Bayley better. Bayley promises to bring the title to the after party. They hug it out, Bayley heads for gorilla, but will The Role Model regret calling out The Queen of the Ring?
Bayley heads to the ring!
SmackDown returns and Nashville cheers as the former WWE Women’s Champion gives high-fives on the way out. Bayley gets a mic to say, “In just 24 hours, I have the opportunity to win the WWE Women’s Championship back. So I’m not gonna waste anyone’s time, I’ma get right to it. Nia Jax, I’m calling you out. I’m in your ring, Queen, you can even bring Tiffany. C’mon, I got something to say to your face.” The fans cheer, Bayley says lets go Queen Champ. Is this being on Tiffy Time? But here comes Nia and Tiffany, who is trying to be her own cowgirl Barbie. The two go right to the ring, and grab their own mics.
Nia says if Bayley has something to say, say it straight to her face. The fans boo but Bayley says that’s why she called Nia out. Because for as long as Bayley has known Nia, Nia has never understood the significance of this title or what it stands for. What it means for the fans, for the people like Bayley who grew up loving the WWE, who grew up wanting nothing more than to hold this title. Bayley grew up watching women like Molly Holly, Victoria, Beth Phoenix, Natalya, Trish Stratus, Lita. They all made this title mean they were larger than life, more than human. And that ain’t Nia.
But as much as it pains Bayley to say, there is one thing that those women weren’t. They’ve never had a dominant run like Nia has had. Nia is going on to become one of, if not THE, most dominant women in WWE history. The fans are torn but Nia nods. Bayley says the facts still are, there are two people in the WWE that can take this title from Nia. One is Bayley tomorrow night 1v1 at Bad Blood, which she plans on doing! The other… is Tiffy! The fans cheer that but Tiffy is wary. Bayley says it isn’t because Tiffy’s good enough, it’s the briefcase. The moment Tiffy gets tired of Nia talking down and berating her, Tiffy will smack Nia in the back, cash in, and become the NEW champion! Wham bam, thank you ma’am!
The fans cheer but Tiffy speaks up. Is Bayley saying Tiff isn’t good enough? That the only reason Tiff can win is because of the MITB briefcase? Tiff doesn’t need the briefcase to beat Nia. Nia says, “Um, excuse me?” Tiff realizes she spoke out of turn! She would never! Bayley has Tiff so angry right now! Y’know what, Pam?! Tiff says instead of sitting here and trying to break this duo up, why doesn’t Bayley bow down to the Queen of the Ring? Oh, wow, bow down to Nia? Tiff’s crazy. As much as Bayley doesn’t agree with how Nia conducts herself, Bayley respects how strong and dominant Nis is. Bayley has NO respect for Tiff!
Bayley would rather bow down to a queen than patronize a stupid b*tch!! Tiff gets mad and takes a swing! Bayley dodges and KNEES Tiff down! Nia CLOBBERS Bayley! And then CLOBBERS her again! The fans boo as Nia stands over Bayley, then runs, but Bayley avoids the senton! Bayley storms up on Nia now, and grabs Tiff’s briefcase! Bayley JAMS, CLUBS, and SMACKS Nia! Then RUNNING KNEE! Bayley picks up the belt and the fans cheer as she holds it up. Bayley sets it down on Nia, then leaves. But then Tiff gets up, grabs her briefcase, and stares Bayley down. Bayley says bet, because Tiff starts staring at Nia!
The fans fire up as Tiff thinks about it. The ref is here because Tiff’s match with Naomi is coming up, but is she going to do that? Nia sees Tiff, Tiff hesitates, and fans chant “CASH IT IN!” Tiff hesitates, and here comes Naomi! Will Nashville #FeelTheGlow? Or will it still be #TiffyTime tonight?
Chelsea and Piper regroup backstage.
The Hot Mess has yet to clean up, and Piper has a hard time not gagging from the smell. Pretty Deadly is there, and they almost fall over! What is that smell!? Their eyes are burning! Kit & Elton leave, Piper says don’t listen. A-Town Down Under pass by, and Theory thinks something’s wrong with their cake. Waller says no, mate, it’s Chelsea Green~! Angel & Berto pass by and they gag pretty bad, too. Piper says she’s not, whatever they just said. Aldis sees Chelsea and says sorry about that result, that must stink. Mia did her dirty with that. Sorry, he doesn’t wanna recycle these puns, but can he help her with anything? Other than a shower.
Chelsea is at a loss for words for once, and just storms off. Melo then walks over and tells Aldis he beat Styles “fair and square,” so where’s that deal with Knight? Melo thinks maybe they can fit it on Bad Blood, or even go to WrestleMania. Aldis asks if Melo’s really gonna say that with a straight face. The only thing Aldis cares about right now is checking on Styles. So Melo and Aldis can talk this out next week. Melo smells the lingering stench and wonders if it’s Aldis. Melo leaves, will he get the shot he wants?
Naomi VS Tiffany Stratton!
SmackDown returns and the bell rings. Naomi and Tiff tie right up, go around, and Tiff puts Naomi in a corner. The ref counts, Naomi pushes Tiff, but Tiff SLAPS back! Naomi runs up to THESZ PRESS! Naomi rains down fists, Tiff gets free, but Naomi bumps her off buckles. Naomi brings Tiff to another corner to bump off more buckles. Naomi RAMS into Tiff again and again, then lets off as the ref counts. Naomi HEEL KICKS Tiff, then snapmares so she can SLIDING LARIAT! The fans fire up and Naomi keeps moving. Tiff sits up, into a sliding SLEEPER! Tiff fights up, RAMS Naomi into a corner, and then RAMS her again!
The ref counts, Tiff lets off, then brings Naomi around to whip. Naomi slides under the lariat, taunts with a twerk, then mule kicks! Naomi front kicks, then FACEBUSTERS! Cover, TWO! Tiff survives but Naomi brings her up. Naomi TOSSES Tiff to the apron, has her in ropes, an d then holds her down for the HEAT- NO, Tiff powers out! Naomi KNEES Tiff back, brings her back in, and snap suplexes! Cover, TWO! Tiff is tougher than that but Naomi brings her up. Naomi TOSSES Tiff back out, has her again, but still no Heatseeker! Tiff ROCKS Naomi, HOTSHOTS her, then slingshots to KNEEBOARD! Cover, TWO!
The fans rally while Tiff grows frustrated, and she stalks Naomi to the apron. Naomi ROUNDHOUSES, then runs up, but Tiff LARIATS! Naomi falls to the floor, Tiff goes out after her. Tiff whips, Naomi reverses, but Tiff hops up. Naomi blocks a boot, spins Tiff around and ROCKS her in the back! And KICKS her! Naomi goes up, APRON LEG DROP! Naomi says deuces, and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and Naomi has Tiff as a backpack, for a BACKPACK STUNNER! Both women are down and the fans rally up. Naomi rises, storms up and ROCKS Tiff! Tiff ROCKS Naomi, Naomi KICKS back! Tiff ROCKS Naomi, Naomi fires a flurry in return! Naomi whips, wrenches, and LEG LARIATS! Tiff staggers up, into a DROPKICK! Naomi keeps moving, goes up and around to SLINGSHOT BULLDOG! Naomi kips up, the fans fire up, and Tiff sits up into the sliding SLAP! Naomi then headscissors to SPIKE Tiff! Cover, TWO! Tiff toughs it out but Naomi keeps cool. Naomi brings Tiff up, but Tiff fights the nelson!
Tiff whips Naomi, Naomi KICKS back! And kicks low! FACE- NO, Tiff handstands out! And basement DROPKICKS! Cover, TWO! Tiff is frustrated but the fans fire up! Tiff drags Naomi up, puts her in a corner and then on the top rope. Tiff climbs, but Naomi fires hands! Naomi HEADBUTTS Tiff down, then adjusts. CROSSBODY! But Tiff rolls through! Tiff shows off that Tiffy Strength! Fireman’s carry, but Naomi fights free! Naomi goes to a corner, Tiff blocks boots, but not the rebound ENZIGIRI! Tiff is down, Naomi goes up and up, SPLIT-LEG FLOP as Tiff moves! Tiff goes up and up to PRETTIEST MOONSAULT- NO, Naomi moves!
Naomi and Tiff are in corners, Tiff handsprings in, but Naomi ducks in time! Naomi waistlocks, Tiff fights, but Naomi full nelsons! But Tiff arm-drags free, has the cover, TWO! Naomi ghost pins, NAOMI WINS!
Winner: Naomi, by pinfall
Nashville feels the glow, and that means Naomi is rolling! Will Naomi get that promised title match with Bayley? Or will Nia & Tiffany both have different ideas?
The Bloodline walks ‘n’ talks.
Jacob Fatu says, “I LOVE my Tribal Chief! My Tongan brothers, they LOVE our Tribal Chief. Nashville, Tennessee, oh yeah, they LOVE our Tribal Chief. DIY, Street Profits, Cody Rhodes, hell, even Roman Reigns, will LOVE our Tribal Chief. And when you LOVE our Tribal Chief, you learn to RESPECT our Tribal Chief. And when you RESPECT our Tribal Chief, OH LAWD, you will WORSHIP our Tribal Chief. And if you don’t know how to do none of those three, at the end of the day, you will acknowledge the REAL Tribal Chief, Solo…!” Solo Sikoa steps up and says to acknowledge him.
With that, Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa are sent forward, will they defend not just the tag team championships but the honor of Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline? Or will there be new champions one way or another?
Tiffany returns backstage.
And Nia is there waiting. Nia tells Tiff, “If I didn’t know any better, I would think that you’re trying to tease me on when you’re trying to cash-in. Maybe you should focus on Liv Morgan’s Women’s World Championship match tomorrow night, because that’s a cash-in you would actually survive. Or… You can tell me right now that you’ll never betray me.” Tiff stammers, “Of course not, My Queen! After all, like, you are My Queen.” Nia leaves it at that, will Tiff take Nia up on that idea? Or will Tiff wait and see how things go tomorrow?
WWE Tag Team Championships Triple Threat Ladder Match: The Bloodline VS The Street Profits VS #DIY!
SmackDown returns as “WE ARE~, WE ARE~!” Tommaso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano make their entrance, followed by Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins. The introductions are made, the belts are already overhead, and we see who will be partying on Broadway in Nashville after this!

Tama brings out a chair! We’re doing a real TLC now! Tama storms up on Dawkins, but B-Fab SNATCHES the chair! The fans cheer, because DIY DOUBLE CHAIR SHOT The Guerrillas! They JAM away on Tama & Loa! The fans fire up as DIY gets some payback on The Bloodline! They put Loa on the table, beat him down, and the fans fire up! Ford goes up and the fans are thunderous! Ford aims at Loa as DIY holds him down, SUPER FROM THE HEAVENS, through the TABLE!! The fans are losing their minds, because now DIY clears the desk! Dawkins says get ’em up! Tama fights against DIY but Dawkins ROCKS him!
The fans fire up as DIY & Dawkins mug Tama! The wreckage is cleared, and we get some Shield references! TRIPLE POWERBOMB through the DESK!!! The fans are electric as Tama & Loa are all down! But then DIY BOOT-SUPERKICK on Dawkins! They DUMP Dawkins into the timekeeper’s area, then hurry to get a ladder in place! Gargano and Ciampa both climb! But Ford is there! Gargano runs up, Ford GAMANGIRIS! Then Ford SPRINGBOARDS onto the ladder! Ford and Ciampa fight, but Dawkins returns! Dawkins climbs up beihnd Ciampa, but Gargano climbs behind Ford!
The fans fire up as Dawkins and Gargano CLUB away on Ciampa and Ford, then clinch! Dawkins SUPER BACK SUPLEXES Ciampa down through a ladder!! But Loa is back!? And he TIPS the ladder to DUMP Ford & Gargano down through the other ladder!! The fans are freaking out, and Loa hurries up the ladder! The fans boo as Tama steadies the ladder for his brother. Loa climbs, reaches up, and he brings the clip down! The Bloodline wins!!
Winners: The Bloodline (still WWE Tag Team Championships)
The Guerrillas of Destiny didn’t even need help from Solo Sikoa or Jacob Fatu, they found a way to survive all on their own! Is this proof that no one will ever stop the dominant tyranny that is The Bloodline?
My Thoughts:
A great episode of SmackDown here to feed right into Bad Blood. Country star Hardy showing up just to introduce Styles was kinda weird, but good promo from Styles, Melo and Knight. Knight’s adlib style kinda stalled for a second but he got to the point that Melo could be facing him next. I would think Styles’ injury tonight was kayfabe to give a reason Styles isn’t right back in a title scene, and it gives Melo that false confidence thinking he deserves a title match. I would hope also that Andrade gets back in the mix. He and Melo are tied 3-3, we need “game 7” before either one goes for the title.
Great stuff in the Dumpster Match, and of course Piper got involved. But even with that and last week with Mia standing tall, she won here and that was a great surprise. Chelsea getting made fun of for the stink by the Heel tag teams of SmackDown was pretty funny, too. Good promo from Naomi with Bianca & Jade to now upgrade the hosting duties to The Big 3. I feel like this move could motivate something happening with a trio from Raw like Pure Fusion Collective or something to set up big stuff for next week, or even a tag title match like with Damage CTRL.
Great promo for Bayley, Nia and Tiffany to tease a Tiffy Turn. As I said before, to be different from SummerSlam, Tiff would have to go through with her cash-in, even if she waits for the match to be over and take advantage of a tired winner. Great win for Naomi over Tiff, great promo after where Nia tells Tiff not to cash-in, which could be all the more reason Tiffany does. And then great promo from Jacob Fatu to hype up not just the tag team main event for Bad Blood but the tag team ladder match here tonight.
That main event was an awesome, PLE worthy ladder match, but we should’ve figured Bloodline wasn’t losing the tag titles just yet. It could be a point of storytelling that, in a parallel to Roman Reigns’ height as champion, the leader of The Bloodline needs his faction more than they need him. Roman was always having The Usos save him, just as Solo is having The Guerrillas of Destiny save him. But The Usos were always able to win their tag matches, just as Tama & Loa did here. That parallel can be thrown at Solo to show he isn’t better than Roman, and that can upset him into losing. For that matter, we might still see Tama & Loa try to help tomorrow night at Bad Blood, proving that point.
My Score: 8.9/10
