PLAY BY PLAY

Rhea Ripley walks to gorilla.

And Mami tells the cameraman to follow her. The fans fire up as Rhea makes her way out on stage and down to the ring! Rhea is intensely serious as ever, and we all know why. She got screwed out of the title at Bad Blood, and she even got some semblance of revenge last Friday Night SmackDown. Rhea grabs a mic to call out Liv Morgan! “I’m not done with you or Raquel Rodriguez. No, because this doesn’t end until I get back what I never lost, and that is my Women’s World Championship! So Liv, Raquel, if you’re done running and hiding, then get down here into my ring so I can whoop your asses!”

Instead of Liv or Raquel, we get Tiffany Stratton! Speaking of Friday, Miss Money in the Bank was there when Rhea wrecked everyone, and now Tiff steps into the ring. Tiff says, “Not who you were expecting, Rhea? I’m here because I have a very important message from the WWE Women’s Champion, Nia Jax.” The fans boo already but Tiff tells Rhea to stay out of Nia’s business, or else she’ll have a problem. A big problem! Rhea tells Tiff that she gets she thinks this is “Tiffy Time” but it’s not! Cuz Rhea doesn’t have time for this. Either Rhea gets her hands on Liv, or Raquel, or Rhea “welcomes” Tiff back the Rhea Ripley way.

Tiff starts shoving Rhea, they argue, but then Raquel & Liv CLOBBER them both! The fans boo, what’d Tiff do to them? Raquel still SLAMS Tiff down, and she saves Liv from Rhea. Raquel BOOTS Rhea down, and Liv picks up the MITB briefcase. Liv CLOBBERS Tiff with it! Then she slam dunks it onto Tiff! Raquel gives Liv the Women’s World title to raise over her head. Will no one stop Judgment Day now that Ricky Desperado is watching Liv’s back?

 

Rhea finds Adam Pearce backstage.

And she tells the Raw General Manager that she wants Liv & Raquel, TONIGHT! Pearce says got it, he already talked with them. But… He can’t let her fight them alone. It has to be a tag match or not at all. Rhea says she doesn’t need a partner, doesn’t want a partner, and who would she even get? It can’t be Priest! But then Tiffany storms in, asking what the heck! Is this how Pearce treats his guests? Nick Aldis would never treat her like this. Pearce has a lightbulb moment. What about Tiff? Rhea already has a headache, but she says fine. Tiff asks what that means. Oh, she’ll figure it out. Tiff is flustered, but will she and Rhea make it work against Liv & Raquel?

 

WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships: Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill VS Damage CTRL!

The StrongEST Duo just got these titles back via a Triple Threat featuring the Unholy Union and their opponents here tonight. Will Bianca & Jade prove no team can touch them? Or will the Evil Genius & Pirate Princess have a foolproof plan to be back on top?

Raw returns and we see Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson watching ringside. They just had their shot on SmackDown, are they scouting this match for another try? DMG CTRL makes their entrance now, all fired up to take control. The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who is truly the B E S T team!

The teams sort out and Iyo starts with Jade. They tie up, and Jade SHOVES Iyo down! Jade flexes, Iyo comes back and slips around. Iyo headlocks but Jade fights the takeover. Jade powers up but Iyo slips free. Iyo runs, handsprings, but Jade dodges. Jade runs up but Iyo DROPKICKS her! Jade rebounds to CLOBBER Iyo! Jade drags Iyo up, gets the fans chanting “E S T!” and tags Bianca in. The StrongEST double whip, double hip toss, and then DOUBLE SLAM Iyo! Cover, TWO! Bianca stalks Iyo, runs in at the corner and RAMS Iyo! And RAMS her again and again! The fans duel as Bianca picks Iyo up, but Iyo sunset flips!

Bianca stays up, and deadlifts Iyo into a suplex! Iyo slips free, runs, and Kairi tags in! Iyo redirects Bianca, Kairi shoves her, and Iyo trips her! Kairi AX KICKS, then snapmares! Iyo and Kairi coordinate, DOUBLE BASEMENT DROPKICK! The fans fire up, and Kairi sucker punches Jade! Kairi goes out, Iyo slides at Jade. Jade dodges to SUPERKICK! But Kairi is up top! SUPER CROSSBODY! The fans fire up with Kairi as she storms around the ramp, and Raw goes to break.

Raw returns, Iyo has Bianca down in a crossface, but Bianca powers it back to a cover! TWO! Iyo lets go in time to ROCK, SHOTEI, SHOTEI and SHOTEI! Bianca staggers, Iyo runs to victory roll, STOMP 182! Iyo fires up, brings Bianca around, and underhooks the arms. But Bianca backdrops free! Iyo lands out on her feet! Iyo then runs up, Bianca bypasses and SPEARS! Both women are down and the fans fire up! Iyo and Bianca crawl, hot tags to Kairi and Jade! The fans fire up but Kairi dodges the boot to URAKEN! And CHOP! And CHOP! And CHOP again! Kairi whips, Jade blocks to reverses! Jade scoops, Kairi slips around to a SLEEPER!

The fans fire up as Kairi squeezes tight! Jade gets a second wind to THROW Kairi away! Jade runs in at the corner, but into a BOOT! Kairi goes up, leaps, but Jade catches her! SWINGING BACKBREAKER! Kairi writhes, Jade brings her around, and the fans fire up for the lift! POWERBOMB! Cover, Iyo breaks it! Bianca runs up to TOSS Iyo, and then Jade tags Bianca in. They get Kairi in position, handspring and scoop, DOMINATOR FLOP as Kairi moves! Jade is angry now, and runs up, only for Kairi to DUMP her out! Tag to Iyo and Iyo springboards in! MISSILE DROPKICK on Bianca! Iyo kips up, and the fans fire up!

Kairi runs, she and Iyo combine, POP-UP INSANE ELBOW!! Cover, TWO!?! Bianca survives and DMG CTRL can’t believe it! Iyo fires herself back up, goes right up top, and OVER THE MOONSAULT FLOPS as Jade saves Bianca! But Kairi LEAPS at Jade! Jade stops the rana, she and Bianca SLING Kairi into barriers! Meta Four gets at them, and Iyo QUEBRADAS! Down go the champs! Jakara & Lash says that’s what they get! Iyo puts Bianca in, but now Meta Four has to bark at Iyo! They grab Iyo’s hair, and Lash SUCKER PUNCHES her! The ref missed that checking on Bianca!! Bianca brings Iyo up, suplexes, and she shifts to a torture rack! KISS OF DEATH!! Cover, Bianca & Jade win!!

Winners: Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill, by pinfall (still WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions)

Meta Four may not like Bianca & Jade, but they handed them this win! Will DMG CTRL have to teach Lash & Jakara a lesson after this?

 

Finn Balor & JD McDonagh walk ‘n’ talk backstage.

The WWE World Tag Team Champions find Adam Pearce, and note he wanted to talk with them. Finn says good timing, because he wants to talk a rematch with Damian Priest. Uh, no, that’s not what this is about, they misunderstood. Finn says no, Pearce is misunderstanding. When is the rematch with Damian? Finn wants it and he wants to know when! Pearce says no, this has nothing to do with Priest, and everything to do with the obligations these two have as tag team champions! AKA defending them! But they defended these just last month. That’s the thing, Pearce gave Judgment Day time to resolve things with Priest and-

Finn says it’s not resolved! Pearce says yes they are! And now, there will be a tournament to determine new contenders to the titles. Does it look like they care? Pearce says they better. JD says he is really starting to dislike Pearce. The rest of Judgment Day walks in and asks when’s the match with Damian. Finn says it’s a no go. Finn storms off, but Liv says at least we can all focus on keeping the titles. True. And Liv makes formal introductions to Raquel. Carlito is a bit lovestruck. Will things really turn out alright for The Judgment Day? Or will they all get their just desserts soon enough?

 

Team American Made speaks.

Chad Gable quotes the Webster’s Dictionary definition of greatness: “The quality or state of being excellent in size, skill, achievement, or power.” Brutus Creed tells Merriam Webster, “you idiot, how about next time, just look at a photo of American Made. HAHAHA!” Ivy Nile says America is the land of opportunity, so everyone in that locker room has the opportunity to get their teeth kicked in by the greatest athletes in the world. And Julius Creed adds that they are sick and tired of entitled degenerates looking for handouts! Gable says this country needs a hero. All of the WWE Universe needs a hero.

And it is Gable’s pleasure to tell us all that Team American Made will be those heroes! They will put the team on their back and show the world what it is to be American Made!

 

Bron Breakker speaks.

“Everybody wants to know… Why? Why did I turn my back on Jey Uso? It’s really not all that complicated. See, Jey, you lucked into the biggest lottery of your entire life a few weeks ago when you beat me for the Intercontinental Championship. So what’d I do out of respect? I march down to the ring, I shake your hand, and tell you congratulations, out of respect. And what did you do? Throw it back in my face as if I’m not gonna see it! Not once did you say that you respected me. Not one time did you say that you respected me as a champion, and that one day, you would be the kind of champion that I am, which we all know you won’t.

“See, we’re not the same, Jey. We’re not a couple second, third generation superstars carrying on our family’s legacies. Because I’m doing this on my own. I don’t need my family’s help. I don’t need the name. I don’t need them here. Because one day, when I surpass them in success, they can give me the stamp approval. The same amount of respect I have for them, they’ll have for me. Not like you. You’ve been sucking off your family’s legacy for the past 14 years. And finally, when your cousin is on top of the mountain, you all of a sudden decide that you wanna do it on your own now. You wanna get fed, too.

“You wanna do it on your own, Jey? You wanna do it on your own? Well you’re gonna take this ass kicking on your own, too! Because I’m coming back for my Intercontinental Championship. And the beautiful thing is, Jey, you’re family… cannot save you… from me!” The Badass is ready to break Main Event Jey, will Kofi Kingston be an appetizer?

 

Raw shares a conversation from last Saturday.

Adam Pearce sat down to talk with Bronson Reed, and Pearce says it might be hard to believe, but he appreciates Bronson’s time. The reason for this meeting is simple. Pearce wants to make sure- Bronson stops Pearce there, and says let’s just get to business. Pearce says okay, he’ll give Bronson credit. He has made a name for himself in a short period of time. Everyone knows Pearce gives the roster the leeway they want to handle things how they want, and sometimes there’s chaos, it gets wild, and Pearce takes the heat for that. But what Bronson’s been doing with Braun Strowman, even in Last Monster Standing, he throws refs around, goes through barriers, putting fans at risk!

Pearce cannot have that. Bronson says sorry if he crossed some line. But in a match like that, no one can stop him. If not for Seth Rollins, Bronson would’ve been the Last Monster Standing. So when is Pearce making the match? Oh, so it’s like that? Pearce isn’t even thinking about that until he and Bronson are on the same page. Bronson says all the destruction, all his Tsunamis, it was all to get to the main event. Isn’t that the level of ambition he wants? Of course! Then make the match and there’ll be no trouble. Bronson just wants the spotlight. He wants the 1v1 with Rollins to show he is a top guy here in WWE.

So it is that simple? Bronson’s a man of his word now? Pearce wants to make sure they’re on the same page. He will talk with Rollins. Bronson says Pearce is smarter than he thought. Imagine that. Pearce says they’ll talk again soon. Bronson says not to keep him waiting too long. When and where will the Colossal Aussie get his match with The Visionary?

 

WWE World Tag Team Championships #1 Contenders Tournament Opening Round: Otis & Akira Tozawa w/ Maxxine Dupri VS ???

The tournament Pearce promised begins, and it is the Alpha Academy that starts us off! But who against? We’ll have to wait and see, after the break!

Raw returns and… the WAR RAIDERS are back! That’s right, Erik & Ivar have moved past being just Vikings, and might be closer to machines at this point! Will they still bring the raid all the way to the tag titles?

The teams sort out, Ivar starts against Otis. The bell rings, Ivar BOOTS Otis, whips him, but Otis reverses. Ivar rolls off Otis’ back, then cartwheels past him! Otis dodges and he LARIATS Ivar down! The fans fire up, and Otis tags Tozawa. Otis whips Tozawa in to RAM Ivar! But Ivar shoves Tozawa! Tozawa dodges, but Erik tags in! Ivar scoop SLAMS Tozawa, then Erik scoop SLAMS Ivar onto Tozawa! The fans fire up and Erik brings Tozawa up. Feed to a KNEE from Ivar, then feed to a KNEE from Erik! Tozawa falls, Maxxine is worried, but Erik tags Ivar. Erik BLASTS Otis, then Ivar SPLASHES Tozawa!

Ivar feeds Tozawa to a FOREARM from Erik! Ivar covers, Otis breaks it! The fans cheer and Otis CLOBBERS Erik! Otis rips the shirt away and the fans fire up more! Otis hits the CATERPILLAR- HEEL KICK from Ivar! Ivar tags Erik, but Tozawa MISSILE DROPKICKS! Tozawa runs, but into THOR’S HAMMER! Ivar then hits a SEATED SENTON on Otis! Tozawa hits Ace Ten MAO! Erik tags Ivar and Ivar goes up. Erik hauls Tozawa right up, and feeds him to a RAIDER SPLASH!! Cover, War Raiders win!

Winners: The War Raiders, by pinfall (advance to the next round)

The Alpha Academy just felt the Fallout from Erik & Ivar returning, will no one survive this tournament?

 

Adam Pearce meets with Seth Rollins.

Pearce thanks Rollins for his time, and Rollins says he saw that meeting with Bronson. So is the match made or what? Pearce says yeah, Bronson wants the match as much as Rollins, it’s Pearce who is hesitant. Here’s why: Rollins has had six matches this year, and he hasn’t been 100% for any of them. Bronson put Rollins on the shelf, and- Rollins sees where this is going. Injuries happens. Yeah, but there’s injuries, and then there’s injuries, and Pearce knows Rollins gets what he means. Rollins says hey, when you sign up for this business, you know it’s part of the game. And you fight through injuries to get to the top! To run the jungle!

Rollins also knows Pearce knows that upstarts like Reed are going to come in, try and make a name off someone else. It’s what Pearce did, it’s what Rollins did, it’s what Reed is doing. So to be honest, there’s a reason Rollins runs Raw, that he is at the top. Bronson’s forgotten, maybe Pearce has, too. Rollins has slain a beast, conquered kings, and you know what sounds nice? Hunting a monster. Rollins needs this fight, to bring out the best in him. It’s how he stays sharp and stays on top. Rollins wants this fight because Reed tried to put him on the shelf for good. But he also needs this fight if Pearce wants the best version of Rollins for Raw. Just think about it.

Rollins heads out, what will Pearce decide?

 

Cody Rhodes is here!

The fans sing along with the song, “WHOA~ OH~!” as the Undisputed WWE Champion makes his way to the ring. Cody even shakes hands with Wade Barrett and Joe Tessitore before grabbing a mic and going into the ring. The fans cheer more, and Cody says there’s a lot of people in here tonight. Let’s say hey to the friends up there, over there, and down here. What’s the old saying? To know where you’re going, you have to know where you’ve been. As much as Cody wants to have his eyes on the future, he prides himself on being a pro-wrestling and sports entertainment traditionalist.

That means he is immensely proud to be standing in a city that has such rich history and rich roots in this business! Whether it was Sam Mushnik wrestling at The Chase, or everyone here tonight for Monday Night Raw! There has been some more recent history, though… Something very special happened in this building not too long ago. Something that genuinely changed Cody’s life for the better. Cody says yes, it was here in St. Louis, when we all first heard, “We Want Cody.” The fans cheer that! And Cody is sure someone will call him a politician for it, but there is nothing political about what is next. It is simple: Cody thanks you all very, very, very much!

And with that in mind, St. Louis, Missouri…! “What do you wanna talk about?” But then GUNTHER makes his way out here! Der Ring General, the World Heavyweight Champion, goes right to the ring, and has a mic to say, “Ladies and gentlemen, the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes.” The fans do cheer that, and Gunther says usually, he would come out here and dress his opponent down, speak about some uncomfortable truths. But to be honest, there is not much negative to say about Cody. Because in fact, this company, this business, this sport, is in a boom period like never before, and it is all built on Cody’s back.

Cody makes every town, every country, every continent. He is truly the quarterback of the WWE. The fans chant “Thank You, Cody!” Gunther then says there is not many people in the WWE he respects, but he fully respects Cody Rhodes. Though, if he thinks about it, there might be one thing. Cody just loves to be everyone’s darling, doesn’t he? See, the thing is, because of that, Cody is in that mess with his old friend, Kevin Owens> Kevin realized everyone’s friend is no one’s real friend. So Gunther expects Cody to sort out that mess, because in Saudi Arabia, Gunther wants the best version of Cody Rhodes.

Cody says what Gunther thinks is his greatest weakness is actually his greatest strength. And Cody isn’t surrounded by friends, surely Gunther has seen what’s happening. But one champion to another, Cody has seen what happens when Der Ring General throws everything in his arsenal at his opponents, and they keep coming back. What happens is Gunther gets uncomfortable. What happens is, as seen firsthand at WrestleMania, Gunther breaks. Gunther does his best to smile that off but Cody says he could return the favor. Gunther is a champion, a workhorse, and there is great respect.

But Gunther thinks he is in deep waters? His feet are still touching the bottom of the pool. Gunther has never been 1v1 with Cody. The fans cheer that! Gunther says that’s fair, and spoken like a true secondary champion. Oh, there it is, there’s the dig. Cody expected that but he should’ve realized Raw is Gunther’s house now. Gunther really h as become intimidating, frightening, a beast. What’d he just say? “Secondary champion?” Let’s not forget that Cody defeated the most dominant champion in WWE history. And Gunther, Cody has already slain a frightening beast. Cody drops the mic to offer a handshake.

Gunther chuckles, considers the handshake, and then accepts. The fans applaud, and Gunther says yes, good luck to Gunther. Gunther heads out, and Cody leaves it at that. Crown Jewel is on the horizon, but who will be the BEST champion of all?

 

Raw shares footage from after last week’s Raw.

Kofi says if Woods was getting beaty up, you know Jey would be the first one out there. Woods says yeah, but Kofi also said Woods is the QB. He calls the play. But has that been happening? Tension is growing within The New Day, will it all fall apart at this rate? Or can Kofi show Bron Breakker he can’t just do what he wants to who he wants?

 

Dragon Lee speaks.

“The last year has been one of the most exciting and fulfilling times in my life. Not just coming to WWE, but becoming a champion and having the honor of joining the legendary LWO. It hasn’t all been easy. But with every setback, I’ve become stronger, wiser, and better than before. I remembered that I am capable of exceeding my greatest expectations, that my heroes look at me as their equal. That I belong, and not even the sky is my limit. Dragon Lee was destined to fly.” The Boy Wonder is ready to get back in action, will he strike gold once again?

 

Bron Breakker VS Kofi Kingston!

Raw returns and the Big Bad Booty Nephew makes his entrance. The bell rings and Kofi runs up to DROPKICK Bron! The fans fire up and Kofi SPLASHES in a corner! Kofi fires off forearms, the ref backs him up, but Kofi SPLASHES again! Bron flounders, Kofi runs, but Bron RUNS him over! The fans bark it up, and Bron seethes as he storms around. Bron drags Kofi up, puts him in a corner, and whips corner to corner hard! Kofi bounces off buckles, tumbles back, and Bron paces. The fans bark more, and Bron drags Kofi up again. Bron puts Kofi in a corner, to then BODY BLOW! Kofi goes to another corner, Bron storms up to whip corner to corner hard!

Kofi again falls after hitting buckles, and Bron mocks “New, Day Rocks. New, Day Rocks.” Bron stalks Kofi, drags him up, and whips again. Kofi goes up and up to DROPKICK back! The fans fire up, and Kofi dodges Bron, hurdles, but Bron dodges Kofi to CLOBBER him! Kofi tumbles to the apron, Bron kicks him down, and Bron fires up while Raw goes to break.

Raw returns again and Bron has Kofi with a chinlock. Bron grinds Kofi down while the fans rally up. Kofi fights up to his feet, fires body shots, and is free of the hold. Kofi fires more shots but Bron CLUBS Kofi down. Bron says it’s done, and he run sin, only for Kofi to dodge! Bron POSTS himself, and he flops to the apron. Bron staggers up, but Kofi CHOPS! And CHOPS! And DROPKICKS! Bron staggers around, Kofi runs but Bron dodges. Bron whips, Kofi goes up and up, CROSSBODY! Cover, ONE! Kofi PENALTY KICKS back! Kofi fires up, gets moving, “NEW~ DAY~” BOOM DROP! Bron sputters and Kofi goes to a corner.

The fans fire up and clap along, “NEW! DAY ROCKS! NEW! DAY ROCKS!” Kofi spins, but Bron ducks the kick! Waistlock, GERMAN SUPLEX! Kofi lands out, clinches, S O S! Cover, TWO! Bron survives, but he grits his teeth from taking that rolling shot. Kofi brings Bron up, but Bron RAMS him into a corner! And again! And again! Bron tells the ref to shut up with the count, but then Kofi SWING KICKS! Kofi goes up the corner slowly, and leaps, but into Bron’s arms! OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! The straps come down and the fans fire up. Bron builds speed, SPEAR!! Cover, Bron wins!

Winner: Bron Breakker, by pinfall

Kofi tried to get even with Bron, but he couldn’t survive that 20+ mile per hour tackle. Bron looms over Kofi, but here comes Woods! Woods won’t let Bron bully Kofi, and the fans cheer. Bron leaves, Woods checks on Kofi, but then Bron runs in and CLOBBERS Woods! Bron aims, but here comes Jey! Jey slides in, ducks ‘n’ dodges to SUPERKICK! Bron staggers, Jey says here’s respect for him! SPEAR! Jey is all fired up and Bron retreats while the fans “YEET! YEET! YEET!” Jey helps Kofi up, but then Bron returns! SUPERKICK again! Jey was ready this time! YEET! Will Jey show Bron more of that “respect” when these two go one more round?

 

Rhea gets ready for her match.

Priest checks on her, and says she looks ready. Want him out there? Nah, it’s fine. It is Tiffy’s time to stand on the apron and watch. But has he put thought into what they talked about? Priest says yeah, but still… Rhea tells him hey, he already destroyed all the Judgment Day boys, he already got his revenge on Finn. it is time he gets back what he was robbed of. That is fair. Priest says as long as Rhea has beef with the Judgment Day, he has beef. So just tell him and he’s there. But yeah, time for Priest to once again be El Campeon. Rhea says there we go. They fist bump and Priest tells her to do her thing, go handle those girls. Rhea says she will. But will Tiffy be the big problem in that formula?

 

Jey goes back to the locker room.

And when he opens the door, Jimmy is there?! Jimmy asks if Jey’s got a second, but Jey turns right around and leaves. Well, Jimmy figured that’d be the reaction. Can the brothers Uso hash things out for the greater good of the family?

 

The Miz VS R-Truth!

The Awesome Truth is once again no more, all because the Hollywood A-Lister got fed up with it all. Will he take all his frustrations out on one of the major sources? Or is the truth of the matter that Miz is just selfish?

Raw returns and The Miz makes his entrance. The bell rings and Truth gets the fans to join in on, “WHAT’S UP?!” Miz is not for the good times, even as Truth breaks it down and offers a handshake. The fans boo as Miz refuses it! But then Miz takes it, but does NOT join in on the secret posing. The Wyatts add their little something to this, and then wait, Karrion Kross & The Final Testament are here? Miz gets distracted by them, and Truth uses that to roll him up! Truth wins!!

Winner: R-Truth, by pinfall

Truth celebrates with Miz, still thinking they’re friends! Truth is Truth, but he really needs to work on that memory problem. Kross shakes hands with Truth, but then sicks Authors of Pain on him! They TOSS Truth in for Miz to hit a SKULL CRUSHING FINALE!! The fans boo as Miz just scowls at his former friend. The fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” but Miz doesn’t even flinch. Is Miz starting to see things Kross’ way?

 

Jimmy looks for Jey.

Jimmy goes room to room, door to door, but then finds Jey on his way out. Jimmy says please, just hear him out. Jey says he already said no. Now get out of his face. Jey leaves, but Jimmy doesn’t look ready to give up on his twin. What will it take for Jimmy to make up for the past?

 

Rhea Ripley & Tiffany Stratton VS Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez!

“Unlikely allies” is a classic trope, but this might be pushing it. Mami and Tiffy are polar opposites, but can they hold together long enough to get past the Women’s World Champion and her heavy hitter? Or will Judgment Day continue to deny Rhea her retribution?

Raw returns and “It’s Tiffy Time~” as Miss MITB makes her entrance to join Rhea. Then Liv & Raquel make their entrance together, and the teams sort out. Rhea starts with Liv, the two circle, and then Liv dodges Rhea to SLAP her! Liv laughs, but then Rhea blocks her punches! Rhea HEADBUTTS Liv and the fans fire up. Rhea lifts Liv to atomic FACEBUSTER! Rhea runs to basement DROPKICK! Liv flounders, Rhea taunts Raquel, then runs in, but Liv dodges! Rhea keeps Liv from running away by pulling hair! Rhea scoops her but Liv slips free, shoves Rhea, and tags Raquel! Liv grins as now Mami once again meets Big Mami Cool.

Rhea says if Raquel wants to go, let’s go! But then Tiff tags in! Rhea is upset but Tiff says tootles. Raquel swings, Tiff dodges and handsprings over! The fans cheer and Tiff asks, “What time is it?” Tiff goes Matrix to dodge, but then Raquel grabs her! Raquel whips, Tiff holds ropes and DUMPS Raquel out! Rhea runs up but Tiff says don’t, she is not legal! Now Tiff does things by the rules? Liv tags in, and Raquel hoists her up to BOMB SENTON onto Rhea and Tiff! The fans boo but Liv laughs, and Raw goes to break.

Raw returns and Liv hits a suplex on Tiff! Liv gives some Latina Heat, then CLOBBERS Tiff! Cover, TWO! Liv says okay, and she drags Tiff up. Liv puts Tiff in the corner, stomps her, then digs her boot in. The ref counts, Liv steps away, and Raquel taunts Tiff before tagging in. Raquel whips Liv in to back body block! Liv sends Raquel in to SPLASH! Raquel grins as she brings Tiff up with a scoop, and then pops her into a suplex! Cover, TWO! Tiff toughs it out but Raquel drags her up. Raquel CLUBS Tiff down, Rhea coaches Tiff angrily, but Raquel ROCKS Tiff! And DECKS Tiff! and then brings Tiff back up to scoop, for a BACKBREAKER!

Raquel pushes on Tiff in the backbreaker rack! Tiff endures and the fans rally up for her. Tiff fights, kicks at Raquel, but Raquel dumps her over. Raquel then UPPERCUTS Tiff down, then adds a KICK! Cover, TWO! Raquel suplexes, Tiff slips free, but she misses the tag! Raquel drags Tiff away, but Tiff BOOTS her! Hot tags to Liv and Rhea! Rhea rallies on Liv and the fans fire up! Rhea kicks, stomps a foot, SMASHES Liv off her knee, and LARIATS! Then she DROPKICKS Raquel for the hell of it! Liv JAWBREAKERS, leaps, but Rhea stops that to FLAPJACK Liv! Rhea runs to KNEE Liv in the face!

Rhea deadlifts Liv right into RIPTIDE!! Cover, Raquel breaks it! Raquel saves Liv like always, but Rhea TOSESS her out! Rhea says fine, and tags Tiff! Tiff goes up, Rhea CLBOBERS Raquel! Those two brawl, but Liv avoids the Prettiest Moonsault! Both Liv and Tiff are down, Rhea and Raquel still brawl, but wait! NIA CLOBBERS RHEA & RAQUEL! The Queen of the Ring is here, and she helps her Princess Tiffy up. But then Rhea brings Nia around to HEADBUTT! And scoop!? But Liv CHOP BLOCKS a leg out! Rhea falls, Liv KICKS away at her, but Nia is back up! Nia YANKS Liv back, ROCKS her, and fireman’s carries! SAMOAN DROP!

Nia runs, to drop the LEG! The fans actually cheer Nia! Nia isn’t done there, though! She puts Liv in the drop zone, for the A-NIA-LATOR!! Tiff says that’s her queen! But then Nia says look! Do it! Oh yeah! Tiff gets her briefcase! Tiff goes to the ref, and she wants to cash in on Liv! But wait! Dom runs out here and saves his girlfriend! Tiff & Nia tell them all it is only a matter of time! Tiffy Time! Will Crown Jewel see Nia and Tiff both leave with championships? Or can Liv find a way to survive it all?


My Thoughts:

A very good Raw, but it was a little too obvious they recorded this right after last week’s episode. There were a lot more promos, especially for a two-hour show. It was almost like a bad go-home episode rather than a follow-up to anything. However, still very well-done promos, such as Pearce with Bronson and then Pearce with Rollins. Rollins VS Bronson is definitely going to be big, just not sure if it’ll be Crown Jewel big. Good promo from Pearce with Finn & JD to help set up this tag team tournament, that tournament is going to be great stuff. We saw the return of the War Raiders tonight, and they got a really good match from Otis & Tozawa. Erik & Ivar will definitely be top choices in the tournament. Honestly, they’ll probably win the whole thing.

Good promo from Team American Made, but it didn’t add too much to anything. I’m sure they’ll be in the tag team tournament, maybe go to the finals, but again, I’m thinking Erik & Ivar win out. Good promo from Dragon Lee, hopefully he will get going on the Raw roster, but hard to say in what way. Great stuff in the Intercontinental Championship story, from a really good match between Bron and Kofi to Woods and Jey each making a save. Jey VS Bron 2 is on its way, I just hope they don’t hot potato this back to Bron now that they’re also building to Jey reuniting with Jimmy & Roman.

Very good Women’s Tag Team Championship match tonight, and I suppose on some level, Lash & Jakara being the reason Bianca & Jade retain makes up for how SmackDown went. Feels like Lash & Jakara will be having a tag team match here on Raw next so DMG CTRL can get even with them. I really hope we get something big for the women’s tag titles at Survivor Series, with all the brands fighting for them since these are THE traveling titles in the WWE. Then because of the Triple Threat or Fatal 4 Way nature, Jade & Bianca can lose without being beat, and at least one of them can get going towards the WWE Women’s Championship.

The Miz and Truth being a very short match was only slightly disappointing, because it was mostly hilarious. And between The Wyatts flashing their symbols right as the match began, and The Final Testament showing up, this further teases Miz & Final Testament VS Wyatt Sick6 in some huge 8 Man Tag match. Good promo from Cody and Gunther, and clever stuff for Gunther to swerve us on not giving Cody any grief. That said, it wasn’t much different from what Gunther’s done before, or what anyone facing Cody’s done with Cody. In the end, we all know the Crown Jewel Champion story is just Saudi Princes throwing money at WWE so why not just go and do it.

Though, it is rather strange that the men’s build is not as fiery as the women’s. Rhea had a good promo to help bring about the “can they coexist?” tag team main event. This was definitely a test run for Tiffany on Raw or even Tiffany as Face. There are plenty of fans who really like Tiffany, and she can easily go Face with that, especially with how Nia’s been bullying her. But great interaction between Tiff and Rhea, very good match with Liv & Raquel, and Nia showing up was also a great touch. I liked Nia reminding Tiff she has the MITB briefcase, and this was a nice tease of Tiff cashing in at Crown Jewel. Nia & Tiff are coming out the lesser of two evils against Liv & Raquel, Crown Jewel could be a lot of fun just on the women’s title match.

My Score: 8.6/10

AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Will Ospreay VS Ricochet!

Wait, are the fans throwing white streamers or is that… No, yeah, it’s toilet paper! Ospreay laughs at the fans basically calling Ricochet crap. Ricochet throws the toilet paper back! The bell rings and we’re on the clock. The fans fire up for Ospreay as he and Ricochet circle. The fans also sing, “F HIM UP, OSPREAY, F HIM UP!” Ricochet shrugs that off, he and Ospreay tie up, and then Ricochet rolls. Ospreay shoots in, waistlocks, but Ricochet switches. They go around, Ricochet gator rolls with Ospreay, then floats to a headlock. Ricochet wrenches, hammerlocks then headlocks again. Ospreay powers up and out, Ricochet runs him over, but Ospreay kips up!

The fans cheer and Ospreay smiles as he and Ricochet reset. They tie up, go around, and Ricochet wrenches to a wristlock. Ospreay rolls, wrenches and wristlocks, but Ricochet spins and wrenches to hammerlock. Ospreay reaches back, headlocks and hits a takeover. Ricochet rolls to a cover, TWO! Ospreay holds onto the headlock but Ricochet powers up and out. Ospreay runs Ricochet over, Ricochet bails out, and then Ospreay handsprings to fake Ricochet out! The fans cheer as Ospreay superhero lands out, and Ricochet is annoyed. Ospreay holds ropes open for Ricochet, but Ricochet goes around the way to step in on his own.

The fans boo Ricochet being a bad sport but Ricochet ignores that. Ospreay and Ricochet knuckle lock, then Ricochet kicks low! And CHOPS! Ricochet whips, Ospreay reverses, but Ricochet rolls off Ospreay’s back! Things keep moving, Ospreay avoids the handspring to then duck ‘n’ dodges and RANA! But Ricochet handsprings through! The fans fire up, and Ospreay arm-drags Ricochet down! The fans cheer while Ricochet endures the grind. Ricochet fights up and puts Ospreay on ropes. The ref counts, Ricochet and Ospreay slowly let g o, and Ricochet SLAPS Ospreay! Ospreay CHOPS Ricochet!

Ospreay takes a swing, Ricochet ducks under to roll back and RANA! But now Ospreay handsprings through! Ricochet dodges to waistlock but Ospreay bucks the O’Conner. Ricochet arm-drags Ospreay down, but Ospreay headscissors back! Ricochet pops free but Ospreay arm-drags! Ricochet headscissors, Ospreay pops free, and Ospreay handsprings, but Ricochet catches him! Ricochet then THROWS Ospreay into the Tree of Woe, and Ospreay falls down! The fans boo while Ospreay bails out, but Ricochet FOSBURY FLOPS! The fans boo but Ricochet takes the toilet paper to wipe himself, then he SMOTHERS Ospreay with it!

The fans boo that literally disgusting act of disrespect, but Collision goes picture in picture.

Ricochet taunts the fans, then drags Ospreay up. Ricochet puts Ospreay in, soaks up more heat, then KNEE-BOARD SENTONS! Ricochet swaggers to taunt the fans more, then he goes back to Ospreay. Cover, ONE!! Another cover, TWO! Ricochet taunts the fans more, then goes back for Ospreay. Ricochet stands Ospreay up to CHOP, and Ospreay goes to a corner. Ricochet RAMS into Ospreay, RAMS him again, then snapmares to UPPERCUT in the back! Cover, TWO! Ospreay stays in this but Ricochet drags him into a motorcycle stretch. Ospreay endures while Ricochet digs a knee into the back. Ospreay fights up, fights with elbows, then runs, but into a DROPKICK!

Ospreay is down in a daze but Ricochet has to shake out the stars in his own head. Ricochet covers, ONE! Ospreay then uses that one to flip off Ricochet. Ricochet RAMS Ospreay in the back! Ricochet then clamps on with a chinlock, and he digs his knee into Ospreay’s back. Ospreay endures, even as Ricochet JAMS Ospreay. Collision returns to single picture as the fans rally for Ospreay again. Ospreay fires up, fires hands, but Ricochet RAMS him into a corner. Ricochet runs up, RAMS into Ospreay, then goes to the apron. Ospreay takes a swing but Ricochet dodges and gets around him to GERMAN SUPLEX! Ospreay lands out!

Ospreay runs, handsprings, NEURALIZER KICK! The fans fire up while both men are down! Ospreay goes to the apron, takes aim, and he springboards to PIP PIP CHEERIO! Down goes Ricochet, Ospreay covers, TWO! Ospreay stays focused and the fans rally up. Ospreay drags Ricochet up, CHOPS him, then CHOPS him again! Ricochet staggers, Ospreay runs, but Ricochet TIGER WALL KICKS! Forearm, SOBAT, and Ricochet runs, but into a POP-UP, and STYLES- NO, Ricochet sits up, slips free, and he underhooks Ospreay for a FACEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ospreay survives but Ricochet goes up.

Ricochet has to double clutch, the fans let him hear it, but Ricochet still MOONSAULTS! Ricochet lands out as Ospreay moves, and Ospreay runs up, but into an ELBOW! Ricochet handsprings, but into a pop-up, Electric Chair, spin around, STYLES CLASH!! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives and Ospreay is surprised. Ospreay pulls on the elbow pad and the fans fire up! “This is Awesome!” as Ospreay aims, but Ricochet bails out! The fans boo but Ospreay storms after Ricochet. They’re both on the apron and Ospreay goes up a corner. Ricochet anchors Ospreay first! Then Ricochet has the Electric Chair Lift!

Ospreay fights free, fights off a nelson, then he KICKS Ricochet! Ospreay runs, but into a pop-up APRON DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! The fans chant “You Still Suck!” but Ricochet adds a SHOOTING STAR PRESS! Ricochet puts Ospreay in, then springboards to 450 SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Ospreay survives, but then Ricochet AX KICKS! Dragon sleeper, inverted suplex, VERTIGO! Cover, TWO!? Ospreay survives and Ricochet is shocked! Ricochet snarls and he aims from a corner. The fans rally for Ospreay but Ricochet loads up. SPIRIT- NO, Ospreay ducks under! Ospreay gets up, Ricochet blocks a kick!

Ricochet V-TRIGGERS, then he reels Ospreay in! But Ospreay fights out of the bomb, but then Ricochet returns the favor! Ricochet suplexes, into STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE! Ospreay springboards for the OSC- CUTTER FROM RICOCHET!! Ricochet hurries to get Ospreay up, powerbomb into fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! SPIRIT- HIDDEN BLADE!! Both men are down and the fans are thunderous! Ospreay and Ricochet both slowly sit up and the fans rally as hard as ever. Ricochet and Ospreay stare down, talk a bit of trash, then stand up. Ospreay draws a line in the sand and dares Ricochet to step up.

Ricochet steps right up, they stand toe to toe, literally! They start firing forearms! The fans cheer Ospreay, boo Ricochet, and Ricochet wobbles! But then Ricochet comes back with forearm after forearm! Ospreay wobbles, but he grins as he rises and roars! Ospreay fires a flurry on Ricochet, then ROCKS him! Ricochet flops over, Ospreay hauls him up! But Ricochet grabs at the ref! Ospreay kicks Ricochet’s arm away, but then Ricochet RAMS Ospreay into the ref! The fans boo but then Ricochet hurries to HOOK KICK! And VERTI- NO, Ospreay slips free to underhook! STORM BREAKER! Cover, but the ref is down!

The fans count, Ospreay would’ve won twice over! Ospreay calls to the ref, the ref sputters around, and Ospreay goes up. But then Ricochet kicks the ref into ropes! Ospreay gets tripped up and the fans boo more! Ospreay is confused as to what happened, but SPIRIT GUN hits the mark!! Cover, RICOCHET WINS!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Ospreay earns 0)

The One & Only got away with murder, but there’s nothing that can be done now! Ricochet has NINE points, will he be headed to Worlds End?

 

Adam Cole heads to the ring!

The fans cheer as the Panama City Playboy returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom, and yes, they join in for the “BOOM~!” and the “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY~!” Cole grabs a mic, but he keeps his eyes on the ramp. That’s because we all know who’s next. MJF makes his entrance, but with a handful of security guards in front of him first. And not even AEW security, that’s his own personal security. MJF grabs a mic and has them cut his music. The fans boo but MJF tells them, “If I wanted your help, I’d ask for it. Sit down and shut up.” The fans tell MJF to STFU, but MJF shrugs that off.

MJF tells Cole that MJF is frustrated. It’s because for the past few months, MJF has had to listen to Cole say MJF is Cole’s biggest enemy! If memory serves, and MJF’s memory always does because unlike the fans here, he isn’t a complete moron… Didn’t Cole turn on MJF? But then does Cole realize he has bigger enemies out there? Like spray tan, cracks in the floor, gusts of win, and maybe… a cavity. Because last MJF heard, Cole’s dentist isn’t seeing him anymore. Cole was already staring daggers into MJF, but now he’s pissed. MJF has Cole calm down, and he tells the fans to shut up so he can shoot straight.

When MJF was the longest-reigning and greatest AEW World Champion of all time, Cole was nothing more than MJF’s cute little sidekick. That ate Cole up inside. Cole wanted to be MJF. Cole wanted #TripleB. But the sad truth is, Cole had many opportunities to win the title before MJF got anywhere near it. It’s almost like when it comes to Cole being elite enough to become world champion, just like his “s*itty little ankle,” Cole blows it. MJF laughs at his own joke, and then tells the fans he is talking, it is not that complicated. But this is why MJF doesn’t buy the hogwash that Cole turned on MJF because MJF would turn on Cole first.

Cole turned because he, like all these shmucks, is jealous of MJF. And who can blame Cole? MJF is rich, handsome, funny, entertaining, and then look at Cole. For crying out loud, Cole used to be ADAM COLE BAYBAY. Now, he’s just a crack baby! Cole asks if MJF is done. Was that the last line? Because it felt like MJF practiced that for two weeks in front of a mirror. But MJF killed it, really. Cole could come back with childish comments to hurt MJF’s feelings, but he won’t. Cole could mention MJF has had two surgeries on that fake head of hair of his while only in his 20s, which is hilarious, but he won’t.

Cole could talk about how MJF pulled some strings to get his girlfriend hired, like the real politician he is, but Cole won’t go there. Cole could talk about how every single time MJF enters a room, everyone waits for him to leave because he is loud, obnoxious and annoying as hell. But Cole won’t go there. Because Cole is not like MJF. They are nothing alike. That is why the friendship was ruined. Because, MJF, the truth is you say Cole is a failure, but in virtually every wrestling company Cole has worked for, he is the longest-reigning champion in so many!

In this very building, Cole bled BUCKETS against Kyle O’Reilly, wanting to prove he was one of the best in the world, and that is exactly what he did! Does Cole have regrets? Sure. Are there things Cole wishes he could take back? Absolutely. But Cole does NOT regret turning on MJF. The only reason it drives MJF insane is because Cole beat MJF to it. That’s MJF 101: Get close to someone, then turn on them. It’s what MJF does. Cole just did it better than MJF, and MJF knows it.

But Cole has been thinking, trying to understand what’s going on in MJF’s head, and he finally figured it out. MJF is terrified of having anyone close to him, because he feels it is a weakness. That hit a chord? Because not only does MJF act like a child, he thinks like a child! MJF knows in his heart that he was going to be the one to turn on Cole first! DAMN RIGHT HE WAS!!! MJF realizes he let the cat out of the bag. MJF says congrats, Cole, he solved the mystery! A regular Scooby-Doo! Great job, Adam.

But you want the truth? Here it is. The fact of the matter is, last year at Worlds End, MJF had every intention on stabbing Cole in the back that night. Cole just got lucky. When #BetterThanYouBaybay started, MJF didn’t give a damn about Cole. Cole was nothing more than a pawn. But MJF will admit, he did eventually start to care. For the first time in MJF’s life, he cared about someone else. Fans mockingly go, “Aww…” But MJF says that is just when Cole became a liability. And since Cole’s “a fragile little freak,” him jumping off that ramp and exploding his ankle made him a distraction!

Distractions, liabilities, emotions, there are no room for those when all you should be concerned with is maintaining the world championship! But Cole doesn’t get it, does he? Last year was a fluke. Cole ain’t the Devil, he just beat the Devil to it. But this year, Worlds End, December 28th, the same show where Cole tried to end MJF’s world, MJF ENDS Cole!! MJF throws down the mic and the fans are torn. Cole smirks and says MJF ends things then? Well, how about Cole ends this? COLE DECKS MJF! The guards rush in, but Cole fights them off! MJF sends more but Cole SUPERKICSK! And SUPERKICKS! And SUPERKICKS!

But then MJF LOW BLOWS Cole! MJF tells the fans to shut up! MJF takes out the Dynamite Diamond Ring! But then The Kingdom rushes out here! MJF runs away from Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but he vows this ends at Worlds End. We have one week left, is that the last week Cole has in AEW? Or will MJF finally lose the one thing he has left in that diamond ring?

 

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.

Lexy Nair is with the #BornAgainKristen and brings up her trying to make amends with Willow Nightingale last night, as well as making the save when Harley Cameron & Penelope Ford were beating Willow up. Kris says what she and Willow have to discuss is between them. But as far as her and Penelope go, they’ve got a lot of history, and if Ford wants a fight, Kris will give her a fight. Then speaking of history, Kris still has her eyes set on the TBS Championship, can she tells us more on that?

Kris says she looked back on 2024 and she had a downward spiral that started with losing that title. Maybe if she wins it back, Kris will right her wrongs. On that note, Mercedes Mone, you don’t have an opponent for Worlds End so here Kris is. Let her know when you’re ready for round two. Kris heads out, will she prove to everyone that she is still the Galaxy’s Greatest?

 

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.

AEW returns and Lexy is now with Freshly Squeezed. In exactly one week, he will compete against three other men for the AEW World Championship. There are a lot of combustible elements at play, and Cassidy says yeah, we saw that on Dynamite. Jay White, Hangman Page and Cassidy can’t exactly have a conversation. So really, Cassidy wants them to listen. “Between now and Worlds End, Jon Moxley can run and hide. He can hide behind his goons, he can run away in a pickup truck. But when that bell rings in seven days, he has nowhere to go. He will be in the ring with us. Us three. And you both know that we need to remove Jon Moxley from the equation.

“We can. We’ve done it. And after that, us three, we can fight for the AEW World Championship and one of us will become the AEW World Champion. Just something to think about. See you guys on Dynamite.” Cassidy is ready to remove the Maniac from the throne, but will the Switchblade and Cowboy listen to reason?

 

Kris Statlander VS Penelope Ford!

As Kris just said, she’s calling out The CEO in hopes of one more TBS Championship match. But will the Superbad Girl be more like the Grinch for Kris this Christmas?

The bell rings and the fans rally as Kris circles with Ford. They tie up, Kris powers Ford to a corner, then throws Ford back into the corner! The ref counts, Kris lets off, but Ford shoves her! Kris ROCKS Ford, TOSSES her, then runs up on her. Kris whips, drops down, then hurdles over. Kris CLOBBERS Ford and the fans fire up as she flexes. Kris drags Ford up, reels her in, and suplexes, and she holds Ford up! The fans cheer and Kris goes all the way to TEN, but Ford slips into a SLEEPER! Kris pries the hold open and she brings Ford around for another suplex! The fans fire up as Kris holds Ford up for five before the SLAM! Cover, TWO!

Kris drags Ford up, whips her to the corner, but Ford goes up, only for Kris to Electric Chair Lift! Kris climbs, Ford fights with fists, and she shoves Kris down! Ford steadies herself, then hits a FLYING BLOCKBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ford is frustrated but she storms up on Kris. Ford bumps Kris off buckles but the fans rally behind Kris. Ford stomps a mudhole, but she lets off as the ref counts. Kris goes to the apron, but Ford jumps up to drop KNEES on her! The fans boo but Ford soaks up the heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Ford brings Kris around to THROW her into railing! Ford soaks up more heat, then drags Kris up and RAMS her into the apron! Ford refreshes the count, then stalks Kris around the way. Ford whips Kris into the steel steps! Kris falls over in a heap but Ford drags her up into the ring. Ford covers, TWO! Kris stays in this but Ford kicks her around. Ford CHOKES Kris on the ropes, thrashes around, but lets off as the ref counts. Ford drags Kris up and whips her to ropes, then LARIATS as Collision goes to break.

Christmas Collision returns and Ford CHOKES Kris on the ropes again! The ref counts, Ford lets off and Kris sputters to the apron. Ford runs and goes up, up, and KNEE DROPS on only apron! Kris then SHOTGUNS Ford off the apron! The fans fire up and Kris brings Ford up, to THROW into railing! Kris puts Ford in the ring, the fans fire up, but Ford kicks low. Ford reels Kris in, but Kris suplexes, FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ford flounders to a corner but Kris has the fans rallying behind her. Kris runs up to UPPERCUT! Kris goes side to side but Ford dodges the knee! Ford hits a FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!

Ford wasn’t quite perfect there but she watches Kris go to a corner. Ford runs corner to corner, handsprings, but Kris catches her! The fans fire up as Kris GERMAN SUPELXES, but Ford lands out! but Kris goes Matrix to dodge! So does Ford! STUNNER! Ford runs, Kris does her best to follow, but Ford hops up for a POISON-RANA! Cover, TWO!! Kris survives and the fans fire up! Ford is beside herself, but she drags Kris to a drop zone. Ford goes up top, and MOONSAULTS BUT FLOPS as Kris moves! Kris hurries to deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX! And then GERMAN SUPLEX again! The fans fire up as Kris scoops to tuck Ford in! STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!

Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall

Ford gave Kris quite the fight, but Kris came out on top! Wait, here comes Mone! Kris did call the CEO out, so Santa Mone says, “Ho, ho, ho ho ho! New York Citaaaay~! Please say hello to your C E O! Kris, after the year I’ve been having, I was planning on taking Worlds End off. I was planning on going to the Ritz in Boston.” The fans boo Boston, but Mone says since it’s the holidays, Mone feels like being nice. She already beat Kris once anyway, so she’ll just beat her twice! At Worlds End, you see that money changes everything, because Mone is the greatest TBS Champion of all time!

The challenge has been accepted, and Mone is looking to be busy before the New Year. Will Kris make her regret it?

 

Big Boom AJ & Big Justice return to the ring.

They’re getting Christmas Collision ready to bring the BOOM, but out comes Chris Jericho, who is still ROH World Champion after overcoming Matt Cardona last night at Final Battle. And he has Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey with him as he asks if AJ has a permit for being here tonight. Did they talk with Mayor DeBlasio? Because they certainly didn’t run this past Jericho. Do they know who he is? Big Justice says yeah, he knows! “You’re a JACKASS!” Jericho is taken aback, but the fans agree with Justice. The Bad Apple says this is why dumbass kids should be sitting and not heard. Jericho says yeah!

And if being a jackass means he’s the King of New York, then Jericho’s the biggest jackass! And besides, Jericho talks for everyone here saying we do not want AJ & Justice here! The fans boo, they disagree with Jericho. But Jericho says they don’t even have Costcos in New York! New Yorkers shop at bodegas. Fans are torn, because they kind of agree. Jericho says his favorite is the Walgreens a few blocks over in Flushing. And speaking of Flushing, that’s where AJ & Justice belong: in the toilet! This is the Hammerstein Ballroom, the House that Jericho built! The fans boo that, it’s the House that Hardcore built.

But Jericho says there’s no time for goofy gimmicks like BOOM~, or bandit masks, or scissoring! Scissor me, Bad Apple~! But then wait! The Acclaimed is here! Well, Anthony Bowens is, at least. Bowens pushes past The Learning Tree and he joins AJ & Justice in the ring. Bowens has the music cut, and he tells Jericho that he doesn’t get why Scissor King is catching strays, but you caught his attention. Jericho is trying to intimidate a man in a walking boot and an 11 year old child while spouting nonsense about being the King of New York. Why doesn’t Jericho do what he has asked so many others in the past: SHUT THE HELL UP!

The fans cheer but Big Bill says, “As the Learning Tree always says, when a man tries to silence another man, he’s probably afraid of the truth.” The fans do cheer Big Bill because he is from New York. Bowens says he has no idea what that means, Bill. But he does know we’re live on TNT, Christmas Collision, Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City! So Chris, why not walk your ass to this ring and get it whipped by the Scissor King?! Jericho says if Bowens wants him to do that, then not tonight. Jericho waves bye, but AJ says hold on, listen up. We know Jericho is running scared, but we know at some point, Bowens will get to bring the-

Bowens stops the Boom? Because he wants to scissor! AJ says okay, and they SCISSOR BOOM~! But is that true? Will Anthony Bowens be the one to tear down the Learning Tree and be a champion?

 

Backstage interview with The Vendetta.

Lexy is now with Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie, and they’ve got a hot streak going. Deonna’s message  last week was ominous, but who was it for? Taya says there are so many options. Everyone deserves a slice of The Vendetta. There’s Mercedes, Mariah, Toni Storm, even Lexy could get some, so watch your back. Speaking of Toni, she stumbles in and apologizes for interrupting. She just wants to say hi to everyone, hello. Oh, Deonna, a pleasure. Deonna says she knows who Toni is. R-Really? So cool! Taya says she’ll make a guess: Toni has a tattoo on her leg, a little duck with a knife through it.

Wow, how’d Taya know? Deonna says no no no, she is not doing this again. She does not get what sick crap Toni’s up to, but she is already done with it. So for Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street, Toni VS Taya! Taya says she’ll make Toni forget everything! Toni nervously thanks The Vendetta, and says this is a big opportunity to face someone like Taya. Toni leaves, Deonna and Taya sigh, and Lexy has no idea what to say. Is Toni’s mind unraveling before our eyes? Or is there still a bit of Timeless inside Toni Time?

 

AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Shelton Benjamin VS Daniel Garcia!

This showdown was inevitable, but it’s even more fitting after The Standard of Excellence beat up the TNT Champion just because he stood up to the Hurt Syndicate. Will Shelton continue to bring the pain? Or will he not survive Red Death?

The bell rings and Garcia goes right at Shelton! Garcia fires hands but Shelton RAMS him into the corner! Shelton fires hands but Garcia turns things around to fire more shots! The ref counts, Shelton shoves Garcia back, but Garcia runs up to fire hands! Shelton shoves Garcia again, but Garcia gets under the lariat to waistlock. Shelton fights the lift but Garcia shoves him to SLAP! And CHOP! Shelton just grins and he picks Garcia up again! Shelton TOSSES Garcia away and Garcia goes to ropes. Shelton brings Garcia back up, scoops and SLAMS him, then brings him up again. Scoop SLAM! Shelton drags Garcia up and puts him in a corner.

Shelton whips corner to corner hard and Garcia falls! The fans sing, “We Hurt People!” Shelton drags Garcia around, stomps him around, then TOSSES Garcia out hard! Garcia sputters but Shelton storms outside. Shelton brings Garcia up but Garcia fires hands! Shelton RAMS Garcia into the apron, then railing, then back to the apron! And repeat! Garcia falls in a heap and the fans fire up. Shelton grins as he drags Garcia up, to then THROW into steel steps! Shelton leaves Garcia behind and the ring count climbs on Garcia. Garcia drags himself up at 7 but Shelton goes out after him again.

Shelton puts Garcia in the ring, then grabs at him. Garcia grabs ropes but Shelton stomps him. Shelton stands Garcia up to DECK him! The fans cheer but Shelton brings Garcia up again. Garcia fires a forearm, then he CHOPS! Shelton eggs Garcia on, so Garcia CHOPS! Shelton grins, Garcia CHOPS, but Shelton DECKS him again! The fans duel but Shelton whips Garcia to ropes, for a BIG backdrop! Garcia flounders and Collision goes picture in picture.

By the end of 2024, I said I was gonna get my hands on you, and that’s what I did, courtesy of the most dangerous man in AEW. Whose house?!” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve is still aiming for Lashley’s head, will he and Lashley have it out at Worlds End?

 

AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Mark Briscoe VS The Beast Mortos!

After getting a couple shockers, The Sussex County Chicken could easily jump up to the front of the block with one more! But will he #ManUp and bring down the menacing minotaur? Or will The Beast be a massive spoiler for Briscoe?

PLAY BY PLAY

Tony Schiavone is in the ring!

Schiavone welcomes out the Blue League’s current points leader, Kyle Fletcher, and of course… Don Callis. But they’re not alone as the rest of the Don Callis Family makes their way out to the ring. Wait, shouldn’t Brian Cage be in New York for Final Battle…? Well anyway, Schiavone says there’s a lot of gold and- Callis takes the mic, and he says, “I have something important to say.” The fans boo and Schiavone excuses himself as Callis says the Don Callis Family are the TRUE One Percenters of professional wrestling! They prove it each and every day!

Murder Machines: The most feared tag team in the world! “Don Callis’ favorite wrestler,” Kyle Fletcher, shows every day why he is THE One Percent! He beat Will Ospreay! He beat Kazuchika Okada! And now, he’s gonna beat Daniel Garcia and win the Continental Classic! Callis hands the mic over to Kyle and Kyle says it might be true that last Saturday wasn’t the best day for Kyle, but anyone watching that match saw the clear bias from the officials in this company! The fans boo as Kyle claims there is an agenda in AEW to see the Don Callis Family NOT succeed. But it doesn’t matter, it changes nothing!

Kyle WILL be the winner of the 2024 Continental Classic. That brings Kyle to Daniel Garcia. “You wanna talk about restoring the feeling, Daniel? I couldn’t care less about your feelings! All I speak are facts! And the fact is, I am the hottest young prospect in this industry, and I will be the future of this whole place!” The fans boo more but Callis says one last thing he wants to say, is when you’re the One Percent, you’re not like the other 99! They are not like all of these fans! They are not like “the boys in the back,” like Mark Davis & Will Hobbs, “a couple of scab workers!” They’re not even in the same business, Hobbs!

And Callis has waited to get Hobbs on a PPV so that the world could watch why they call Konosuke Takeshita “The Alpha.” And Hobbs, YOU are not in the same business as Konosuke, and you find that out at Worlds End! But speaking of, here comes the Powerhouse! Will he and Dunkzilla finish things with the Don Callis Family? Or will the AEW International and ROH World TV Champions get even for last week?

Konosuke Takeshita & Brian Cage w/ Don Callis VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs & Mark Davis!

The teams sort out and Konosuke starts against Hobbs to give the DC fans a preview of Worlds End. Hobbs and Konosuke step up, talk trash, and then the forearms go back and forth! The fans cheer for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” and Hobbs ROCKS Konosuke! Hobbs even shouts “MEAT!” before he whips Konosuke. Konosuke ducks ‘n’ dodges but then so does Hobbs! Hobbs SPINE- NO, Konosuke flails free and Hobbs says it was that close. Konosuke says to cool off while he paces on the outside. Konosuke steps back into the ring, but he tags to Cage. The fans stay fired up for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Cage and Hobbs circle.

Hobbs and Cage DOUBLE LARIAT! Neither man falls, so they DOUBLE LARIAT again! And again! And again! Cage kicks low, shouts, “Who Betta Than Cage?” But then Hobbs CLOBBERS him! Hobbs even gets Konosuke to back down with a glare. Hobbs brings Cage up to fire forearms, then he tags Davis. Davis & Hobbs double whip and DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up as Davis stalks Cage to a corner. Davis CHOPS Cage, and CHOPS again! And CHOPS again! Cage sputters but Davis scoops to SLAM Cage down! Then ELBOW DROP! Cover, ONE! Cage stays in this but Davis bumps him off buckles.

Tag to Hobbs and he brings Cage out. Hobbs and Davis reel Cage in, fans chant “AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE! MEAT MEAT MEAT!” but Konosuke makes the save! Konosuke swings, Hobbs dodges, so the elbow DECKS Davis! Hobbs ROCKS Konosuke, Cage ROCKS Hobbs! Cage clinches, Konosuke returns, KNEE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP COMBO! Cage covers, TWO! Cage rains down fists, the ref reprimands, but Cage steps off. Cage drags Hobbs up, bumps him off buckles, and tags Konosuke. The Callis Family stomps a mudhole into Hobbs, but then Hobbs CHOPS Konosuke! Konosuke snarls, and he CHOPS in return!

Konosuke ROCKS Hobbs, climbs up, and he rains down fists! The fans count but then Konosuke BITES Hobbs on the forehead! The ref counts, Konosuke lets off, and Hobbs sputters on the ropes.

Davis SENTONS but onto knees! Davis writhes, Cage tags Konosuke! POWER- NO, Davis stops the knee! Davis takes a swing but Konosuke ducks that, to BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! High stack, TWO!! Davis survives and Konosuke snarls, but Rampage goes picture in picture.

Konosuke rains down fists on Davis, but lets off as the ref reprimands. Konosuke tags Cage and Cage drags Davis up. Cage ROCKS Davis, whips him into a corner, and Davis hits buckles chest first! Cage RAMS into Davis, and RAMS in again, then CHOPS! Davis staggers but Cage whips him to ropes. Davis reverses, to dosido with Cage, only for Cage to CLOBBER Davis! Cage BOOTS Davis down, covers, but Hobbs breaks it! Cage gets mad and the ref reprimands Hobbs, then Cage soaks up heat from DC. Cage stalks Davis to a corner and fires haymakers! The ref reprimands but Cage DECKS Davis! Cage soaks up more heat while he flexes.

Holiday Bash returns to single picture while Davis crawls. Cage storms over but Davis fires hands! Davis CHOPS, CHOPS, but Cage JUMP KNEES! Cage whips Davis, Davis cartwheels and swings on Cage! Cage blocks, waistlocks, but Davis switches! BIG back suplex! The fans fire up as Davis rises and reaches out! Davis crawls, as does Cage, hot tags to Hobbs and Konosuke! Hobbs LARIATS Konosuke, LARIATS again, then runs up to LARIAT in a corner! Cage runs up but he’s send into Konosuke! Hobbs SANDWEICHES the Family!

Cover, Davis blocks Cage, but Cage SHOVES Davis onto the cover! Cage then TOSSES Davis out, and he goes back for Hobbs. Hobbs TOSSES Cage! Hobbs grins as he has Konosuke alone. The straps come down, and Hobbs runs up, only for Konosuke to dodge!

Konosuke runs, Cage tags in, and Konosuke BOOTS Hobbs in the corner! Cage runs up to UPPERCUT, GAMANGIRI, and then GERMAN SUPLEX! Hobbs flounders, Cage hauls him up, PUMP HANDLE FACEBUSTER!!

Winners: Konosuke Takeshita & Brian Cage, by pinfall

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

 

Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.

Renee Paquette is with the Babe with the Power who is in action later tonight. But first, Renee wants to congratulate Willow to making it to the finals of the inaugural International Women’s Cup. She heads off to Tokyo very soon, how is she feeling about it? Willow is very excited. Inaugural WrestleDynasty, one step closer to the inaugural International Women’s Cup winner, and so it is mind boggling after how- Kris Statlander steps in. Kris tells Willow that there is a lot she should say, but for now, she’ll say good luck at the Tokyo Dome. #BornAgainKristen takes Willow by surprise, will Willow win tonight and have momentum going to the New Year?

 

Lio Rush & Action Andretti VS Myles Hawkins & Goldy!

The dysfunction in Top Flight Airlines led to The Bad Child & The Sight to See winning over Darius & Dante Martin, meaning they’re next up to face Private Party. Will this be little more than a tune-up for Lio & Action?

The teams sort out, Lio starts against Myles, but then Lio handspring kicks Goldy off the apron! Myles back suplexes but Lio lands out and then dodges! Myles falls out of the ring, Action handspring kicks him down! Lio DIVES onto Goldy! Action DIVES onto Myles! The fans fire up as Action puts Myles in fast. Lio joins Action and they mug Myles.

Action runs up, Goldy dodges, but Lio LARIATS Goldy on the other side! Myles whips Lio but Lio hits RUSH HOUR! Action torture racks Myles for a NECKBREAKER! Lio covers, Lio & Action win!

Winners: Lio Rush & Action Andretti, by pinfall

Fast win for this furious duo, but “Oh my gosh, is that Private Party?” Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make their way out here and DC fires up! The AEW World Tag Team Champions call for “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” Lio & Action get their shot in the near future, but wait! Dante & Darius make their way out here? Private Party looks to the tunnels, but Lio & Action CLOBBER them from behind! Dante, Darius & Leila don’t worry about the champs, they stare Lio & Action down. Lio & Action hold up the belts, then throw them at the Martins. The refs keep this from getting any more physical, but will Lio & Action take those belts from Quen & Zay soon enough?

 

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.

Renee is now with the “multifaceted” Harley and notes she’s in action against Willow Nightingale tonight. Harley says yes, she IS multifaceted. She wants us to appreciate ALL her facets! Renee says yes, but she has yet to earn a singles win in AEW. Fine, ruin her fun. But then Harley asks if some person off camera is gonna say anything or just stand there. In steps Penelope Ford, and Mrs. Superbad says yes, she was simply observing. But Ford couldn’t help but notice that she and Harley share a lot of similar… facets. Harley asks how much Ford’s cost. Uh, no, not those…

Ford meant that she hasn’t had such a good 2024, either. So from The Bad Girl to the… Harley doesn’t have a good nickname yet. Well, don’t worry about it. Ford will watch Harley’s back and Harley will watch Ford’s. Wait, is something on Harley’s back? No, Harley… Just good luck. FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAMERON! No, she was being nice to you, Harley. Right, don’t feel the wrath of Harley Cameron. There is nothing on your back, Harley, stop scratching. Wait! W-What? Nothing, sorry. But will Harley be feeling Willow’s wrath instead?

Willow Nightingale VS Harley Cameron!

The bell rings and the fans rally as the two tie up. Harley pushes but Willow digs in her heels to SHOVE Harley down. Harley comes back, she and Willow reset and tie up again. Willow puts Harley in a corner, the ref counts, and Willow lets off. DC duels between Willow and Harley, and Harley wants a Test of Strength. Willow accepts the knuckle locks, but then Harley kicks low! Harley runs, wheelbarrows, but Willow turns that into a BIG back suplex! The fans cheer as Willow runs, DIVING BODY PRESS! Cover, TWO! Willow bumps Harley off buckles, then fires LARIAT after LARIAT! The fans count al the way to TEN!

Willow brings Harley out with a smile, and scoop SLAMS her! Harley flounders, Willow storms up on her for another scoop and SLAM, right as Rampage goes picture in picture.

Willow storms around while Harley staggers up. Willow scoops Harley again, then carries her around to put her in the Tree of Woe! Willow stomps a mudhole in, then lets off to run up! But Harley BOOTS her while upside-down! Harley gets free, ELBOWS Willow, then runs to knee her low! Harley runs with Willow to HOTSHOT BULLDOG! Willow is stuck in ropes, and Harley AX KICKS her! Harley then headscissors Willow to CHOKE her in the ropes! The ref counts, Harley lets go at 4, and Harley soaks up cheers and jeers from DC. Harley stomps Willow, then drags her to the outside. Harley SMACKS Willow off the apron!

Harley RAMS into Willow again and again, but Willow CLUBS Harley! Harley ROCKS Willow, whips her to ropes, and ELBOWS Willow down! Harley soaks up more cheers and jeers while Rampage goes to break.

Holiday Bash returns and Willow CANNONBALLS, but Harley dodges! Willow hits only buckles and she hobbles after Harley. Harley kicks, KNEES, and ENZIGIRIS! Harley roars, runs, and SHINING WIZARDS! Cover, TWO! The fans fire up but Harley grows frustrated. The fans rally while Harley waistlocks, but Willow switches! Harley kicks free to switch back, but Willow ELBOWS Harley back! Willow fireman’s carries, storms around, but Harley pops up! Harley fires down elbows, then victory rolls, TWO! Willow escapes and ROCKS Harley! Fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO!

Harley survives but Willow roars! The fans fire up as the straps come down! Willow gut wrenches for the BABE WITH THE POWER BOMB!! Cover, Willow wins!

Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall

Willow faced the wrath of Harley Cameron and she prevailed! But then PENELOPE FORD goes after Willow! The fans boo but Ford did say she’d back Harley up. They both beat up on Willow, but here comes Kris! Kris Statlander storms the ring, Harley & Ford run away! Willow is again surprised, but the fans want these two to “Hug It Out! Hug It Out!” Kris says no, she doesn’t feel like it’s the right time. Kris lets Willow have the ring, is this proof that the #BornAgainKristen isn’t just a nickname?

 

Team Triple J speaks backstage.

Standing alongside Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, as well as Jeff & Karen Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt says, “They’ve asked us to look back and reflect on 2024, and Jeff, guys, what an incredible series of moments we’ve had in 2024.” The group agrees. From Wembley Stadium to Double J being in the Owen Hart Cup, some true career highlights that he will cherish forever. But Jarrett doesn’t like looking in the rearview mirror, he likes to look ahead. Next week, he’s not bringing resolutions, he’s bringing a game plan for 2025! What does the Last Outlaw have in store for himself and the team in the New Year?

 

AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Brody King VS Komander!

While the rest of Gold League stands at 6 points, these two men are struggling to keep up. Will the King of Death join that traffic jam at the front of the block? Or will the Commander of the Skies be a spoiler for Christmas?

The bell rings and we’re on the clock. Brody and Komander circle while the fans bark it up. There are fans who sing “OLE~ OLE OLE OLE~” for Komander as the two tie up. But then Brody picks Komande up with both hands, and puts him on the to rope. Brody pats Komander on the shoulder, and the fans bark more. Komander hops down, not intimidated by Brody’s size.

But Brody breaks the grip and DOUBLE CHOPS Komander to the floor! The fans bark it up and the ref checks Komander while Rampage goes picture in picture.

Brody storms out after Komander, who is somehow still in this. Brody drags Komander up, and he whips Komander hard into railing! Brody revels in the DC dogs barking, and Brody stands Komander up. Brody CHOPS Komander off his feet, then refreshes the ring count. Brody drags Komander up, and whips him hard into railing! So hard, in fact, that Komander goes up and over!

Komander tunes up the band, runs corner to corner, but Brody SLAPS him first! Brody runs but Komander dodges, Brody POSTS himself! Komander is on the apron and he runs up, to SHOTGUN Brody to the floor! Brody sputters, Komander climbs the corner, and the fans are thunderous! Komander springboards to ARIHARA MOONSAULT! Another direct hit and Komander feels so close to his first points in the C2!

Komander hurries to get in the ring, but then slides out to start a new ring count. Komander climbs again while Brody rises. Komander watches Brody slide in, then tightrope walks to CIELITO LINDO!! But that was on Brody’s back! Komander pushes Brody but that’s a lot of dead weight to push! Brody sits up but Komander KICKS him! Komander roars, the fans fire up, handspring- TORTURE RACK! Brody flips Komander around, GONZO BOMB!! Cover, Brody wins!!

Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Komander earns 0)

If it wasn’t clear before, this was a painful punctuation mark, Komander is mathematically ELIMINATED from the semifinals. However, Komander’s final C2 match is Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street against Claudio Castagnoli! Can Komander be the biggest spoiler of this entire tournament? Can Brody prove to everyone in the Gold League that the House Always Wins?


My Thoughts:

A great Rampage here for Holiday Bash, though some clear redundancies from last week’s Winter is Coming edition. We got another group Don Callis Promo, and we barely got anything different from Callis and Kyle. The tag match’s only changes were Cage switching in for Archer, even though Cage is in reality defending his ROH World TV Championship in the Hammerstein Ballroom for Final Battle, and then the Callis Family wins this time so Hobbs and Konosuke can be even going towards Worlds End. Now, Konosuke could very well retain the International Championship at Worlds End because NJPW is totally open to Konosuke Takeshita VS Shingo Takagi being Winner Takes All, AEW International and NEVER Openweight titles on the line together.

Lio & Action of course won their match, but the real purpose was to get a confrontation out of them, Private Party and OG Top Flight, Darius & Dante. Good stuff, and it teases anywhere between a Triple Threat to Lio & Action VS Darius & Dante Round 2. Very good promo from Triple J to set up for something, anything really, for 2025. Fight for the Fallen can even be the start of whatever that plan is as part of the “mother of all streams.” And good stuff with the women’s division tonight. Ford & Harley makes a natural duo now given their names, and Willow and Kris could possibly reunite now that Kris is a Face again. That wouldn’t really make up for the weird fumble in the middle where Tony Khan just wanted Kris to get away from Stokely, but hey, this story itself could be really well done.

And great stuff out of Brody VS Komander, really got the drama going before the end. I mean, we all knew Komander was out of the running before tonight, and was most certainly taking the loss here, but Komander got to really show some grit. And now, five people at 6 points going into the final round, they’re really adding great drama to Gold League. Collision tomorrow and then Dynamite Miracle on 34th Street will be some great stuff, but I still think Ospreay should be one of the semifinalists, the second spot can be whoever they want.

My Score: 8.8/10
