PLAY BY PLAY
Nia Jax is here!
The fans boo but the Irresistible Force doesn’t care as she goes to the ring. Nia has a mic and says, “Right now, there’s only one thing on my mind: The Women’s Crown Jewel Championship. I want it. And if you haven’t noticed, I usually get everything that I want. The last time I was in Saudi Arabia, I wanted to become Queen of the Ring, and I did. At SummerSlam, I wanted to become WWE Women’s Champion. And I did! Anything and everything that gets in my way gets A-Nia-Lated. Which is exactly what’s gonna happen to that insufferable Liv Morgan at Crown Jewel.
“I will be walking out the first-ever Women’s Crown Jewel Champion, and Liv will be crying on the floor with her disgusting, dirty little-” Wait, Liv interrupts! Or rather, Raquel Rodriguez leads the way for Liv and Dirty Dom. The fans boo more, but Liv tells Nia, “You keep bragging about your accomplishments like you’re special, but you’re not.” Liv also walked out of King & Queen of the Ring successfully, by retiring Becky Lynch to become the GREATEST Women’s World Champion of all time! All thanks to a little help from the most gorgeous man in the entire world, “Daddy” Dominik Mysterio!
The fans really boo now, but Liv says that was just months before SummerSlam. Liv’s held her title longer, so she knows what it takes to become Crown Jewel Champion. And also, if Liv’s memory serves right, she also knows what it takes to beat Nia, too. Last time they fought, Liv won! So if Liv was Nia, she’d stop dreaming now. If anyone’s becoming the first Women’s Crown Jewel Champion, it’s Liv. But then “It’s Tiffy Time!” Tiffany Stratton struts her way out, holding her Money in the Bank briefcase up. Tiff says they can argue all they want, because at Crown Jewel, it’ll be Tiffy Time~! She is taking her briefcase to cash in and become the NEW Women’s World Championship!
The fans cheer and Nia is at least pleased to hear that. She says that’s right, Liv! Liv doesn’t have just Nia to worry about, Liv has- Tiff stops Nia there. Don’t get too comfortable, Nia, Tiff could still cash in on you, too. Excuse me!? Liv says this is great! Nia has to worry about Tiff and Liv! Liv at least has people around her she can trust. Oh, Liv, don’t you get too excited. Because Tiff hasn’t even made up her mind. Plus, they’re both starting to piss Tiff off, so here’s what’s gonna happen! At Crown Jewel, Tiff cashes in, and she’s taking home one of their titles. But hey, there is one thing that could help her make a decision faster…
If Tiff takes Liv’s title, does that mean Dom comes with it? Tiff could use a little dirty in her life. Dom shakes his head, and Liv tells Tiff that it seems that she already has enough dirty in her life. Tiff DECKS Liv! Liv falls out of the ring, Raquel & Dom shield her, and Tiff says Liv is nothing without them! Liv says get a ref, she wants to fight! Will Tiff look to soften Liv up for Nia before Crown Jewel? Or is Tiff doing this all for herself for once?
Tiffany Stratton w/ Nia Jax VS Liv Morgan w/ Dominik Mysterio & Raquel Rodriguez!
SmackDown returns and the fight is on! Liv rains down fists but the ref reprimands. Liv drags Tiff up to TOSS her out! Liv goes out after Tiff to THROW her into barriers! And then Liv brings Tiff around to throw into the Hydration Station! The fans cheer that, who cares about Prime? Liv CLUBS Tiff, nuzzles noses with Dom, then puts Tiff in the ring. Tiff gets up to BOOT Liv down! Tiff pie faces then rains down fists! Liv has the ropes, Tiff lets off, but Tiff kicks Liv again. Tiff THROWS Liv down, then goes corner to corner. Handspring but Liv dodges! Liv SHOTGUNS Tiff, then runs up to BACK BODY BLCOK!

Nia says it IS Tiffy Time, and Tiff says Liv is NOTHING without Dom! Tiff CLUBS Dom, fireman’s carries, but Liv fights free to a CODE BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Tiff stays in this, Liv glares at Nia and they talk trash. Liv runs up, O- NO! Tiff holds ropes to stomp the flatliner, and she TIFFY STOMPS! Nia distracts and slides the briefcase to Tiff! Tiff aims but Liv ducks the cheap shot! Roll up, with tights, Liv wins!
Winner: Liv Morgan, by pinfall
Liv cheats the cheaters, but Nia storms in! Liv DROPKICKS Nia in the ropes, then SMACKS Tiff with own briefcase! But then Nia grabs Liv to HEADBUTT her down! And Nia SMACKS Raquel! And she SMACKS Dom! And SMACK to Liv again! Nia goes up, and up, and A-NIA-LATOR!! Nia sits on Liv like Yokozuna, and then regroups with Tiff. Will nothing stop Nia from taking the Crown Jewel Championship? Will Tiff still stand up to her using the MITB briefcase?
Kevin Owens speaks.
“Randy… I’ve been trying to call you all week. You just won’t answer, so I’m sending this video to WWE in hopes that you will actually see it and listen, because I really need you to hear me. I don’t wanna do this. I don’t wanna fight you. I’ve looked up to you for so long. I still do now, actually. I just don’t understand why you’re making me do this. And I need you to remember something: I really never wanted to hurt you. Now I’m going to. Crown Jewel, I’m gonna hurt you like you hurt me, and it’s your fault, because you did this. You did this to us. I’ll see you Saturday, buddy.” The Prizefighter has spoken, but will he really be that reluctant to tear down The Apex Predator?
The Street Profits w/ B Fab VS Pretty Deadly!
While neither of these teams got to go after the WWE Tag Team Champions, the chase is never-ending. Will Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins show the Profits are still up? Or will Elton Prince & Kit Wilson say #YESBOY to a big rebound win?

Nia and Tiff regroup backstage.
Nia is confused. Tiff thought she was gonna cash in on Nia? No, no, Tiff just wanted Liv to think Tiff might cash in on Nia. It is all just part of the plan. Okay, fine, just- Bayley & Naomi walk in chuckling. How smart, Tiff. Is that lump on her head part of the plan? Nia asks, “Can we help you?” Naomi says yeah. Keep the title warm for her. Then talk to the hand, Tiff. The Glow & The Role Model head out, ready to face Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell. Will Bayley & Naomi find the way to build momentum towards a title match with Nia?
Bayley & Naomi VS Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell!
SmackDown returns as Naomi makes her entrance, followed by Bayley. Then The Poison Pixie & #IndiWrestling make their entrance and the teams sort out. The Way doesn’t even care, they just attack!

Indi drags Bayley into ropes, UPPERCUTS, then tags Candice before a BOOT! Bayley flops down, and Candice goes up to springboard CROSSBODY! Candice smiles and says, “That’s what you get. This is your Role Model right here.” The Way is on top, but SmackDown goes to break.

Winners: Bayley & Naomi, by pinfall
The Poison Pixie may be the Women’s Speed Champion, but that one came at her fast! Will Naomi keep this “glow-mentum” going until she’s once again WWE Women’s Champion?
Roman Reigns is here!
The fans cheer The OTC as he walks out, accompanied by #BigJim Uso. The pyro goes off as Roman raises the one, but we already know that he, Jimmy and Jey Uso will be in a big Six Man Tag match against Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline. Roman & Jimmy go to the ring, and the fans chant “O T C! O T C!” Jimmy has the mic to say he and The OTC are now in your city! Can he keep it 100 with y’all, though? The fans chant, “YEET! YEET! YEET!” And Jimmy tells Big Uce, HIS Tribal Chief, that stronger together is what he would always say. And from the looks of it, they’re not solid even one bit. Roman knows Jimmy loves him, so just hear him out.
The fans already “YEET! YEET! YEET!” and Jimmy wants Roman to just drop the beef with Jey. Jimmy made up with his brother. The fans chant, “Squash The Beef! Squash The Beef!” Jimmy asks Roman, and says he needs Roman, to squash it. Jimmy made up with Jey, so now is time for Roman to make up with him. To make good with their brother! Because if they don’t get right, if they’re not strong like they can be, they will lose to Solo Sikoa and his Bloodline. So just listen, please. Jimmy is just trying to say- Roman holds out his hand for the mic. Jimmy sighs and hands the mic over.
But then here comes Jey! The fans fire up and bounce along as Main Event Jey comes in from the crowd! Jey makes his way to ringside, Roman watching him closely. Jey stands on the corner and the fans bounce along again. Jey then steps inside the ring, grabs a mic, and the fans still sing along, “It’s Just Me, Uce! Day One Ish!” Then the “YEET! YEET! YEET!” returns. Jey paces, but he and Roman lock eyes. The fans again chant, “Squash The Beef!” and Jey takes off the sunglasses. Jey says, “Let’s get one thing clear, Uce. This match… This fight… I only took it to get back at Solo. Because he cost me my championship, and he messing with the family.”
Jey says this here, though, the three of then, it ain’t all the way fixed yet. If he could be honest, Uce, it is taking all he can to even be standing with Roman side by side. Cuz Jey remembers, ain’t forget, what Roman did to Jey, and how he did Jey. Physical damage, emotional damage, mental damage, but Jey still showed up because that is what family does. The fans cheer that! But the ones before them and the ones after them, these three have to show that family is above all. But this round, Uce, Roman won’t be telling Jey what to do, how to do it. He is not a lackey, Uce. He is not the Right Hand no more, Uce. Jey is Roman’s equal now!
The fans really fire up for that! Jey says yeah, all three of them are equals now. Side by side, and they’ll run this like they used to do back in the day. Roman, Jey is telling you right now… If Roman even speaks or treats Jey with the slightest disrespect, he is gone, he is out. And if Roman doesn’t like that, then he can walk, too. Or… Roman can act like a cousin and not like a chief, and they’ll see each other tomorrow. They can do this together. What does Roman say? They gonna do the damn thing or no? Roman takes the mic back from Jimmy, and the fans chant for “O T C! O T C!” Roman shakes his head as he looks down at the mat.
Roman finally speaks, and he says, “YEET!” The fans cheer and Jimmy is all fired up! The fans then chant, “Hug It Out! Hug It Out!” Jimmy raises the one, the fans join in, and then Jey raises the one! The fans fire up and keep the fingers high, because then Roman raises the one! They are united again, and feel even stronger than before! But then will the Original Bloodline be able to bring down Solo and his renegades?
Backstage interview with Motor City Machine Guns.
Byron Saxton is with the NEW WWE Tag Team Champions and asks them about their goals for the SmackDown Tag Division. Chris Sabin says their goal is the same as the one when he and Alex Shelley started this team way back in 2006. That is to be the best damn tag team in- A-Town Down Under walks over and Austin Theory says, “Look what got over here, Grayson. The new tag team champions!” Waller says they know everything MCMG has down even before WWE, and now they’re the champs. And when you’re the champs, you gotta be on a pedestal. Biggest stage, brightest lights, and the best talk show in WWE.
They’re gonna be on Miz TV? Waller laughs that off and says Shelley is new here, but there’s no Miz. He was talking about his show, The Grayson Waller Effect. And what better thing to do than next week, have MCMG on the show. Shelley says sure, see you then. But will MCMG make sure ATDU don’t get to pull any cheap shots on them, both verbally and physically?

Winner: Iyo Sky, by pinfall
The Evil Genius proves she’s just that by waiting out the chaos! Will we see this happen all over again tomorrow? Or will this loss help The StrongEST Duo be ready for anything?
Cody Rhodes laces up the boots,
Randy Orton walks in and asks if Cody’s ready to go. Cody says yes, he’s ready for tonight, and for Crown Jewel. Cody knows Orton has Kevin Owens, but Cody simply asks that Orton leave a little something of KO left for Cody. Orton says that’s the thing, he isn’t sure there will be anything left. Sorry ahead of time. If that’s the case, then Cody isn’t sure what he’ll do. Orton says he’ll think of something. See you out there. Orton heads to gorilla first, but will he and The American Nightmare deal with Imperium before worrying about Crown Jewel? Or will Der Ring General and his lieutenant, Ludwig Kaiser, stand tall even before tomorrow?
SmackDown hears from Andrade, Carmelo Hayes, and LA Knight.
El Idolo says, “LA Knight. Melo. All of you, are in my way. But I feel tranquilo. Because at Crown Jewel, I have the opportunity to beat both of you at the same time, and become the new champion of the United States.” As for H1M, he says, “I can’t think of a better place to become THE United States Champion than in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Now that I think about it, maybe I pin Andrade. Or maybe I pin LA Knight. Or maybe I pin them both because honestly, I’m really like that. LA Knight, you’re gonna pay for taking away my Game 7 moment. You know why? Because I am… HIM. Oh, and Andrade, make sure to put extra ketchup with those fries.”
The Mega Star says we’re talking about two guys coming into this thing, Knight understands that the deck is stacked against him. Doesn’t make a difference to him. As far as he’s concerned, Andrade and Melo got exactly what was coming to them. Does he regret what he did? NAH-NAH! He dropped each of ’em on their head, and that’s how it’ll go at Crown Jewel, #AndStill your United States Champion, YEAH! But in a Triple Threat, will the numbers spell disaster for LA Knight in Saudi Arabia?
Solo Sikoa speaks.
“I can’t believe that I’m sitting right here, talking about a match against Roman and my two brothers. The three men that have one thing in common, and that’s believing that I’m the bad guy. I’m the bad guy? How? Because I went and found family that loved me? That would never hurt me? That would never let me down? Unlike you three. I’m the bad guy because Lil’ Brother made Tribal Chief and the older brothers didn’t? I’m the bad guy because every time Roman needed help, I was always there to help him, but he was never there to help me. I’m the bad guy? No. I’m the Tribal Chief. Come Crown Jewel, the three of you will respect them.
“And you will… ACKNOWLEDGE ME.” Solo has spoken, but will he, Tama Tonga & Jacob Fatu make Roman, Jimmy & Jey bow the knee?
Cody Rhodes & Randy Orton VS Imperium!
The American Nightmare and Der Ring General will battle as champion VS champion to become the inaugural Men’s Crown Jewel Champion, but perhaps to Gunther’s point, there is a lot of collateral damage in Cody’s wake. Randy Orton and Kevin Owens fight it out tomorrow, as well, but will the legacy stay intact? Or will this be where everything starts to fall apart for “The Quarterback of the WWE?”
SmackDown returns again and Orton makes his entrance, followed by Cody. The fans sing along with both songs, “WHOA~ OH~!” The pyro goes off, Cody high-fives fans as he goes down the ramp, even signs autographs and gives hugs, then joins Randy in the ring. Cody climbs the corner because we gotta get the second “WHOA~ OH~!” and round of pyro. The teams then sort out, and Gunther starts against Cody.

Gunther is upset but Cody DIVES to take Kaiser down! Cody glares at Gunther, drags Kaiser up and in, then glares at Gunther again. The fans cheer and SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Cody keeps his eyes on Gunther as he steps in, then brings Kaiser up. Kaiser fires a haymaker! Kaiser wrenches, wrangles Cody, btu Cody turns things around on Kaiser. Cody wrenches Kaiser to a wristlock, then tags in Orton. Orton gets the fans fired up, before he kicks Kaiser low! Orton scrapes laces off Kaiser’s face, then brings him up. Orton hangs Kaiser out to dry and lets him fling right off the ropes! Orton then grabs Kaiser’s legs, to STMOP him in the gut! Orton stomps Kaiser’s leg, then his hand. It’s been a minute since we’ve seen Orton pick apart someone like this, but then Orton tags Cody.
Orton wrenches Kaiser, brings him around, and Cody AX HANDLES the arm! Cody fires forearm son Kaiser, whips him to a corner, but Kaiser reverses. Kaiser runs up to UPPERCUT! And GAMANGIRI!

Cody fires hands on Kaiser, then JABS, JABS, JABS! Flip, flop, fly, BIONIC ELBOW!
Cody goes up and up to SUPER CODY CUTTER!! Kaiser flops over and Cody roars! Cody dragon sleepers, but he has to duck Gunther! Orton is in, RKO for Gunther!! CROSS RHODES for Kaiser!! Cover, Cody & Orton win!
Winners: Cody Rhodes & Randy Orton, by pinfall
Imperium loses to the legacy of Rhodes & Orton, but then Kevin Owens slides in! We didn’t even know he was here! Kevin SMACKS Orton down with a chair! Cody realizes what happens, hops off the corner, but Gunther snatches him with a SLEEPER!! The ref reprimands but there’s no stopping Gunther now! Kevin just looms over Orton while Gunther fights off security while still squeeze Cody’s neck! Gunther drops back into body scissors! Cody flails in a panic, and Nick Aldis tells Gunther to let go! Gunther refuses, and Cody is grasping for ropes, but he’s also fading! SmackDown has to wrap, but will this be how the story goes at Crown Jewel?
My Thoughts:
A very good episode for SmackDown, especially when you consider this was prerecorded. Though, to that point, it makes for an awkward situation with Indi Hartwell. Only three releases were made today, but she was one of them, alongside Baron Corbin and Tegan Nox. So Indi didn’t know until today that last week was her last match. A real shame, too, as it felt like she and Candice were finally being given a chance on main roster. Like I said before, Indi and Candice could’ve been the tag team in a faction with Nia, but I guess they’re only concerned about who could replace Tiffany as the main sidekick.
Because after all, we got a pretty good promo from Tiffany, Nia and Liv to tease Tiffy turning on Nia. Tiffy claims it was a scheme to lure Liv into a false sense of security, but if the opportunity presents itself, maybe Tiffy will try and take down Nia. At the same time, Rhea Ripley is now out with injury, so she can’t exactly feud with Liv. Maybe Tiff cashes in on Liv after all, she gets away from Nia by going to Raw, and Tiff feuds with Liv in Rhea’s place. They did test the waters a couple weeks ago in Tiff & Rhea teaming against Liv & Raquel, and it seems no matter what, fans really like Tiffy Time, so what’s there to stop the move?
Great Fatal 4 Way singles match tonight, great win for Iyo, but that makes me think DMG CTRL is NOT winning the titles back so soon. Go-home math puts it as either Bianca & Jade retaining or another of the teams taking the titles. And of those teams, I’m a bit torn. Lash & Jakara may be from NXT, but that may not be for much longer if they get called up. They could get those belts as a huge surprise, and return to NXT triumphantly before saying their goodbyes. Good promo from Andrade, Melo and Knight, and while the promo doesn’t really add anything, Knight got a brand new custom strap on the US Championship. They’re not gonna make that and then have someone else win so soon. Knight makes it through Crown Jewel, and then maybe someone else takes the title in a month or two.
Great tag match from Profits VS Pretty Deadly, and a great win for Profits. It feels like they’ll be building back up to the titles, but the next opportunity might go to A-Town Down Under. Theory & Waller get on MCMG’s case for being an old team yet new to WWE, and they’re going to put them on their talk show. Shelley & Sabin will get a solid first defense from former tag champs, and this could even add to the break-up of ATDU. Or rather, it needs to, because that story has been a slow burn for a little too long. Gotta do something with it before it burns out and no one cares anymore.
Great stuff again with The Bloodline story, because for one, Jey puts it to Roman that this needs to be a family, not a dictatorship, and Roman accepts that. This moment was one that I think leaked most of all because fans were just too excited not to show these three standing together, but it was also one we all kinda knew was happening. Solo had a very good promo in response, because he really does have a point about Roman not helping anyone else when they were all helping him. A shame that it’s Solo, Tama & Jacob stepping up, though. I guess Loa is good enough to be tag team champion, but not enough to be in a PLE match. At the same time, Solo being in the mix does make us wonder who is really winning. There’s still that scene with Sami from Monday, maybe there’s a swerve on that.
And very good stuff with the build to Cody VS Gunther, as well as the overall Cody Rhodes story. Kevin had a good promo, he also effectively uses the “I’m not the bad guy here” trope like Solo. Great match for the main event, Cody & Orton of course win with Kaiser taking the loss, but the math gets muddy with Kevin going after Orton and Gunther still getting Cody with that sleeper. The math could say Orton wins, but if Kevin’s this new vicious Kevin, he might resort to anything to win. But Gunther, I don’t know, I thought he was going to win the Crown Jewel Championship, but now maybe Cody triumphs as the underdog hero.
Also, turns out the winners tomorrow don’t get the belt, they get a diamond ring like Super Bowl winners. I’m not surprised or upset that this would happen with the giant, gaudy belts Saudi Arabia made for WWE, but I am disappointed. This is the same as the Greatest Royal Rumble Championship, except we never got to acknowledge Braun Strowman won that on Raw or SmackDown. And given we’re talking diamond rings people get to show off, I feel like Heels can use those best. See: MJF in AEW.
My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Liv Morgan is here!
The WWE Women’s World Champion is the inaugural Women’s Crown Jewel Champion, mostly thanks to the two standing by her side, Raquel Rodriguez and “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio. These three go to the ring together, and Liv grabs a mic. Liv welcomes us to Monday Night Morgan, and please, please, please wants a warm welcome for the new Crown Jewel Champion, LIV. Liv shows off that brand new Crown Jewel ring, and says the revenge tour is over. We are now on the Liv Morgan WORLD Tour! The fans are torn on that, but Liv says just this week alone, she defeated Tiffany Stratton, then took out Rhea Ripley for the third time!
Don’t like that? Well, this time Liv made sure Rhea is gonna be gone for a very, very, very long time. Then she traveled halfway across the globe to beat Nia Jax and become the new, first and only Women’s Crown Jewel Champion! The fans chant, “We Want Rhea!” but Liv says too bad! Liv’s done everything she ever said she was gonna do, and has proven she is the GREATEST Women’s Champion of all time~! The fans boo but then Dom has a mic, and they boo louder. Dom says when he wins tonight, he- JADE CARGILL is here!? The fans fire up as the Women’s Tag Team Champion is here, and then here comes BIANCA BELAIR!
The fans fire up as THE WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions step into the ring to step to Liv & Raquel. Bianca grabs a mic to say Liv isn’t the only one who won at Crown Jewel. But hey, don’t forget about that confrontation from last week. Bianca & Jade are tired of waiting. If Liv & Raquel want a piece of the tag team champions, then here they are. The fans like that, but Liv says wow. They were in the middle of a celebration before being interrupted. And then, if Bianca & Jade won, why’re they coming out all angry? Oh… Liv knows why. Is it because Bianca thinks she’s the biggest, strongest, fastest, toughest, roughest, and the best?
Well, the problem with that is… Jade thinks the same about herself. So they can pretend they get along, unlike Liv & Raquel who have a real friendship. The only thing keeping Jade & Bianca together are the titles. Bianca sees what Liv’s up to, and it won’t work. But if Liv wants to put this theory to the test, then why not have the match tonight? Aw, well, Liv doesn’t know. Raquel, what do you think? Raquel says this was more of a celebratory night, so- Here comes Adam Pearce! The fans fire up as the Raw General Manager asks everyone step back a moment. Dom, you, too. They’re not starting Raw like this, everyone needs to calm down.
Liv says yeah, get them outta HER ring! Listen to the boss! And Jade, watch out for the knife Bianca will stab in your back. Oh, sorry, Bianca, you mad? You gonna do something? Well you’re not, so- Bianca SLAPS Liv right down! Pearce says stop it! Liv, no! Pearce says before this devolves into more chaos, he was coming here to make an announcement. What Liv & Raquel did to Rhea last Tuesday was disgusting! And they don’t think there’s some new #1 contender to the Women’s World Championship? Think again! Liv will defend that title, because tonight is a battle royal! The winner will be the NEW #1 contender to Liv’s title!
Raquel says bring anyone on, she’ll stop them! But Pearce says hold on, because it gets bigger than that. This battle royal will also have the tag team champions! And biggest of all, it starts right now! The fans fire up while Raquel & Liv freak out! But here comes the rest of the roster! DMG CTRL may have missed out on the tag titles, but can one of them skyrocket right to the top? Or will someone else win the golden ticket to the Liv Morgan World Tour?

Backstage interview with The New Day.
Cathy Kelley is with Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods. Last week, the War Raiders became the new #1 contenders to the WWE World Tag Team Championships in a win over both The LWO and New Day. It feels like Woods & Kofi aren’t on the same page. Tonight, New Day gets a 2v2 match with Erik & Ivar, how did this match come about? Woods says honestly, the New Day should’ve won. They should be fighting for their WWE World Tag Team Championships. But unfortunately, Chad Gable felt the need to get involved and that led to the War Raiders winning. Woods approached the to explain the truth, the Raiders didn’t like it, so here we are.
Kofi’s face says otherwise, and Cathy asks his thoughts. Kofi says he agrees the War Raiders didn’t win straight up, but it wasn’t because of Gable. Woods asks what’s the problem. Kofi fumbled the ball, Woods picked it up and ran with it. Oh, Kofi fumbled? How? Because he got pinned. Um, there is literal footage of what really happened. Yeah, and it’ll show Woods attempting to neutralize the Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio! The video gets taken over by the Wyatts…! It’s of the Miztourage days! Miz telling Bo Dallas & Curt Axel that he’d make them stars that their legendary families could be proud of.
But now, MIZ IS THEIR CAPTIVE!! He is the serpent with the forked tongue, searching for those he can deceive. He whispers into their ears, laying eggs of false promises and lies. Seek and ye shall fine. Miz says they have this all wrong! Bo wants Final Testament, Miz is NOT with them! This is all one big misunderstanding! Miz wants to forget it all. Bo leans on Miz and laughs. BO never cared about Final Testament. They wanted Miz all along. Miz begs but Miz says he shall crawl on his belly through thorn and thistle, burdened with the pain he inflicted on others, as you beg and plead for mercy, until you return to the ground. For dust you are, and dust you shall return.
Miz is left in darkness and despair, what will it be that saves the Hollywood A-Lister from his sins?
The New Day VS The War Raiders!
Woods & Kofi better get their act together or this will be a repeat performance from last week, as well as the previous times they took on Erik & Ivar 2v2. Can the Power of Positivity still hold it down? Or will the raid only pick up speed towards Judgment Day?
The teams sort out and the two tie up. Ivar powers Woods into a corner, fires body shots, then brings him around. Ivar scoops but Woods slips free to waistlock. Ivar bucks the O’Conner, Woods ducks ‘n’ dodges, then tilt-o-whirls into a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up and Kofi tags in. Woods sits Ivar up for the SPEED COMBO! IMPLODER SPALSH and FIST DROP! Erik runs up, Kofi dodges to DROPKICK! The fans fire up and Woods tags in, to then WERCK- NO, Ivar catches Woods to THROW him into the apron! Kofi gets caught by Erick for the full nelson and KNEE STRIKE! Ivar SPLASHES Woods against the apron!
The fans fire up with the War Raiders as they stand tall, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Ivar grinds Woods down with a chinlock. Woods endures, even as Ivar leans on the hold. Ivar has a neck wrench now, but Woods fights up. Woods fires body shots, but Ivar shoves Woods to ropes. Woods grabs ropes, BOOTS Ivar, then ROCKS Erik! But Ivar HEEL KICKS! Cover, TWO! Ivar tags Erik, and the Raiders haul Woods up. Ivar scoops Woods, SLAMS him down, then Erik scoops Ivar! Erik SLAMS Ivar onto Woods! Cover, TWO! Woods stays in this but Erik stays on him. Erik ROCKS Woods, tags Ivar, and Woods flounders. Ivar stalks Woods, brings him up, but Woods fires elbows.
Woods reaches for Kofi but Ivar keeps Woods back! Kofi reaches out but they’re still fingertips apart! Woods fires more elbows, and more elbows, and then reaches out! Ivar back suplexes, Woods lands out! ENZIGIRI! Ivar wobbles and the fans fire up! Woods hurries but Ivar hooks him! Ivar whops Woods, Woods BLASTS Erik! Woods SUPERKICKS Ivar! Woods and the Raiders are down and the fans fire up! “NEW! DAY ROCKS!” Woods crawls, hot tags to Erik and Kofi! Kofi springboards to AX HANDLE Erik! Kofi CHOPS, and CHOPS, and DROPKICKS! Erik dodges Kofi, TOSSES him a to a corner, but Kofi goes up and up to CROSSBODY!
Erik gets up, he kicks Kofi low, then runs, but Kofi catches him! S O S! Cover, Ivar breaks it! Ivar then runs at Kofi, but Kofi DUMPS Ivar! Kofi builds speed to FLY! Direct hit on Ivar, the fans fire up with Kofi, and Kofi climbs a corner! Kofi leaps, Erik gets under! But Kofi comes back to AX HANDLE! The fans fire up for the “NEW~ DAY~!” BOOM DROP! Kofi fires up more and the fans are with him! Kofi aims from a corner, “NEW! DAY ROCKS! NEW! DAY ROCKS!” But then Woods tags himself in! Kofi is annoyed but Woods says still hit him! But then Erik DECKS Kofi! Woods ROCKS Erik, steps in, but Erik turns the DDT into an URENAGE!
Tag to Ivar, and the Raiders haul Woods up. Feed to Ivar for him to pop Woods up! Erik catches Woods in the waistlock, Ivar springboards, WAR MACHINE!! Cover, War Raiders win!
Winners: The War Raiders, by pinfall
Quarterback Woods called an audible that did not work out, and now Erik & Ivar have even more momentum. Will the raid rampage right through Finn Balor & JD McDonagh? Or are the Prince & Ace more than ready for war?
Sami Zayn is here!
The fans cheer as the Great Liberator, the Master Strategist, the Underdog from the Underground, makes his way to the ring. But this wasn’t his first appearance in Riyadh this week, as Sami showed up during Crown Jewel in an attempt to help one of the Bloodlines. The fans sing Sami’s song, and then Sami welcomes them in Arabic, to the first Monday Night Raw IN Arabia! The fans love it! Sami then says in English that he cannot tell us how proud he is to be in front of HIS people and speak their language on WWE TV.
But that’s not why he’s here tonight. He is here to address what happened with him, Roman Reigns, and The Bloodline at Crown Jewel. But before Sami can elaborate, here comes Main Event Jey Uso! The fans go just as nuts for Jey as he makes his way down the ramp. The bouncing is on, but Jey is in a much more serious mood. The fans “YEET! YEET! YEET!” and Jey has a mic. Jey says before Sami says his part, Jey wants to thank Sami for having his back. Jey watched back the footage of when Sami kicked Roman in the face. Sami needs to be 100% honest with Jey on this: Was that an accident?
Sami looks surprised Jey would even ask, but then here comes Jimmy Uso! #BigJim storms down to the ring, in an even worse mood than Jey. Jimmy asks Jey, “What’s wrong with you? You saw what I saw. Everybody in this whole world at Crown Jewel seen what we saw. We watched Sami Zayn kick OTC dead in the face on purpose.” Jimmy is pissed, Roman is pissed, and Jey should be pissed! They can’t trust Sami! OH, Sami can’t be trusted!? Does Sami need to remind Jimmy of his own track record? Remember this: Before Sami and Jey, it was Sami and Jimmy! They were dawgs, they were brothers, and JIMMY brought Sami into the family!
The fans chant “UCEY! UCEY!” Sami points out that the second things went sour, Jimmy kicked Sami in the face! And then when things went sour for the rest of them, they kicked Roman in the face! And when Jey had a chance to do things on his own, Jimmy kicked Jey in the face. We worrying about Sami? Nah, man. Oh, like Jimmy owes Sami an explanation? Jimmy is NOT the bad guy here! Fans chant for “SAMI USO!” Sami says Jimmy doesn’t get it, does he? Jimmy might not believe this, but Sami doesn’t hate him. He doesn’t. Sami never has. And no, Jimmy is not the bad guy, but he makes bad decisions.
Sami came out for one person: Jey. Sami wanted to make sure Jey was okay. The fans cheer that. Sami says he won’t lie, for a minute there, when it was them all fighting side by side, it felt like old times. It felt special. The fans again chant “UCEY! UCEY!” Sami says for that one minute, it was good. But that’s how long it lasted. It was a minute. Just like every time when it’s the four of them. Sami is not being question, not being put on trial, he is not doing this again. Sami loves the Usos, but he cannot do this again. Sami is out. The fans are stunned as Sami walks away. The fans chant “NO! NO! NO!” but then Jey calls to Sami.
Jey says he is asking Sami, to please come to SmackDown so that all four of them can talk this out like family. Jimmy says Sami AIN’T family! Jey says he was wrong. Just because Sami isn’t blood doesn’t mean he isn’t family. Sami IS family! The fans cheer that! And right now, Jey says Jimmy Uso, he sees Jey Uso, and he sees SAMI USO! The fans love it! Sami tries not to smile, even as the fans “YEET!” Jey says he hopes to see Sami on SmackDown, brother. Sami takes his leave for now, but will we truly have the OG Bloodline back again?
Backstage interview with Seth Rollins.
Jackie Redmond is with The Visionary and congratulates him on his win over Bronson Reed at Crown Jewel. That was a battle there. And it also earned Rollins his spot in tonight’s Fatal 4 Way. Rollins has Jackie “pump the brakes” there. It was a hell of a performance on Saturday, by Rollins. But what earned Rollins his spot is his résumé! The last 20 YEARS of Rollins’ career! And, who Rollins is. We’ll get to who Rollins is in a minute, but let’s talk about who Bronson Reed is here. Rollins will tell us that Bronson is as advertised. Bronson took everything Rollins had, asked for more, and Rollins respects that.
Rollins knows, no doubt in his mind, Bronson and Rollins will do the dance again. But that is the distant future because Rollins has gold on his mind! And tonight, three of the very best today, and Dominik, will duke it out for a crack at Gunther and the World Heavyweight Championship, the title Rollins put on the map! And after Crown Jewel, what Rollins went through, Rollins knows exactly who he is. He is a Visionary, he is a Revolutionary, and you know he is SETH! FREAKIN’! ROLLINS! Jackie wishes Rollins luck, will he need it in a match with so many variables?
Dragon Lee w/ The LWO VS Chad Gable w/ Team American Made!
The Boy Wonder is looking to avenge not just himself from last week’s Triple Threat Tag match, but also to get revenge for what “Master” Gable did to Rey Mysterio’s leg! Will the dragon fly higher than ever before? Or will this victory in Riyadh be American Made?
Raw returns and Gable makes his entrance, Ivy Nile by his side. The bell rings and the fans chant at Gable, “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” Gable and Lee circle, they tie up, and Gable waistlocks to SLAM Lee! Lee lands on his face even! Lee gets up, but Gable picks him up to THROW him away! Gable then gator rolls Lee around, floats around, but the fans rally for Lee.

Lee wrenches out of the hold, but Gable uses the mask to throw Lee down!
The fans boo but Gable soaks up the heat. The ref reprimands about the mask, and Lee runs up to flying headlock takeover! Gable fights up, powers up, but Lee holds onto the singlet! Turnabout is fair play! Then Lee SNAPS the strap on Gable! Gable swings, misses and Lee uses the singlet to SNAP Gable in the butt! Gable swings, misses again, and Lee RANAS! Gable goes to a corner, Lee runs up, but Gable puts him on the apron. Lee blocks a shot to ROUNDHOUSE Gable and SMACK him off buckles! Gable staggers, Lee climbs up, and Lee CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO! Gable stays in this but the fans rally for Lee.
Lee stalks Gable to an apron, but Gable ROCKS Lee! Lee ROCKS Gable! The forearms go back and forth, then Lee V-TRIGGERS Gable! Gable staggers back, Lee runs up, but Gable BACKDROPS Lee to the floor! The fans boo Gable but he soaks up the heat, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and Gable has Lee up top., But Lee shoves Gable into a Tree of WOe! Lee then WOE STOMPS Gable down! The fans fire up and Lee goes to another corner. Lee runs back in, but Gable OVERHEAD SUPLEXES Lee into the corner! Gable stands Lee up to CHOP him down! And CHOP him dwon! And CHOP him down! Gable whips, to then BACKDROP again! Cover, TWO!! Lee survives being literally thrown around, and the fans rally as hard as they can. Gable runs back in at Lee, but Lee dropkicks legs out! Gable hits buckles, but he gets up. Gable runs in again, but into an ELBOW!

SUPERKICK while Gabler’s upside-dwon! TH efans fire up and Lee runs back in, JUMP KICK! Leg sweep! SWINGING DROPKICK! “This is Awesome!” as Lee then takes aim. Shoutout to his hermano, BULL’S HORNS DROPKICK! Cover, TWO!! Lee is frustrated but Zelina coaches him up. Lee drags Gable up, reels him in, but Gable resists the lift. Lee still brings Gable up but Gable slips out! Gable ROCKS Lee, so Lee takes his elbow pads off!

And then Gable has the crucifix, for a CLIFFHANGER DDT!! Gable has feet on the ropes! Zelina shoves them off!! The fans fir eup as Zelina keeps Gable from cheating, but then Ivy catches Zelina into the DIAMOND DRAGON SLEEPER! But wait, here comes Rey!

Winner: Dragon Lee, by pinfall
Ivy realizes she may have messed that one up! But the LWO stands together victorious! Will this huge win help Dragon Lee head for some gold?
Backstage interview with Imperium.
Jackie Redmond is now with Der Ring General, Gunther, and his lieutenant, Ludwig Kaiser. Jackie says things didn’t go how Gunther wanted at Crown Jewel, but what are his thoughts on the match and Cody Rhodes becoming the inaugural Crown Jewel Champion? Kaiser answers first, what are we even doing here? Why is she bothering to ask Gunther questions about the undeserving Cody Rhodes? Cody was nothing but lucky on Saturday! Gunther has Kaiser stand down. Gunther and Cody may disagree on a lot of things, but that wasn’t luck and Cody is not undeserving. On that night, Cody was the better man.
Jackie then asks about the World Heavyweight Championship contender’s match tonight. Gunther says yeah, it is three very capable performers, and Dom. Seth Rollins, that speaks for itself. Damian Priest could make for another difficult match-up. And of course Sheamus. Well, Kaiser knows about that, right? Kaiser thought he’d take care Sheamus. But whoever is the winner tonight, Gunther is still World Heavyweight Champion. And after Saturday, Gunther realized that it is his responsibility to do better. They both have to do better. Gunther heads out, and Kaiser has a lot to think on. Will Imperium still find a way to rule over Raw, no matter who comes at them?
WWE World Heavyweight Championship #1 Contender’s Fatal 4 Way: Seth Rollins VS Damian Priest VS Sheamus VS Dominik Mysterio!
This is a star studded battle of former world champions, and the Judgment Day’s dirty little troublemaker. Dirty Dom may have been SmackDown Tag Team Champion, and NXT North American Champion, but that was always with someone by his side. Dom needed his dad, he needed Rhea Ripley, he needed The Judgment Day as a whole, but can he actually handle business all on his own? Or will he still need to stack the deck to overcome these odds?
Raw returns as Dirty Dom makes his entrance, and is surprisingly on his own. Next out is The Celtic Warrior, which leaves The Visionary to “BURN IT DOWN” last. The fans sing along, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” as Rollins again has the denim-and-leather duster. The bell rings and Priest storms up on Dom. Dom bails out but Priest pursues! Sheamus and Rollins tie up, and Sheamus headlocks for a takeover. Rollins headscissors, Sheamus kips free, then Sheamus headlocks again, but Dom slips back in. Dom bumps into them and shoves Sheamus. Now Sheamus chases Dom! Priest is there as Dom bails out again, but then Rollins goes out the side.
Dom finds himself surrounded, but Sheamus has Dom on the ropes! Priest and Rollins both say have at it! Sheamus winds up for BEATS OF THE BODHRAIN! The fans count along, all the way to TEN, then past that! Rollins rolls Priest up! Sheamus stops beating up Dom to stop Rollins! Rollins fires hands, Sheamus scoops, but Rollins slips free, Sheamus ELBOWS Rollins, Priest ROKCKS Sheamus! Priest reels Sheamus in, Sheamus turns that into a fireman’s carry, but Rollins mule kicks Sheamus! Rollins reels Sheamus in but Priest choke grips Rollins! SOUTH OF- NO, Rollins slips free! Rollins dodges Priest, BOOTS Sheamus, but then dodges Priest again!
Sheamus drags Priest out, they brawl, and Rollins builds speed! Rollins DIVES and he takes them both down! The fans fire up as Rollins now DIVES onto Dom! The fans fire up and Rollins keeps moving! Another DIVE onto Sheamus and Priest! The fans fire up with Rollins and Raw goes to break!
Raw returns again and Dom is standing tall! The fans boo as he gives some Latino Heat. Then Dom slingshot SENTONS onto Priest! Cover, ONE!! Dom stomps away on Priest, then he DROPKICKS Sheamus off the apron! Dom DROPKICKS Rollins on the other end, and then fires hands on Priest. Dom soaks up heat as the fans boo more, then he throws down hands on Priest. Dom tunes out the booing to fire more hands, then he gets space. Dom runs back in, to go up and up to TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO! Rollins slides in but Dom stomps him back out. Dom rains down fists on Priest again, but Priest hits back!
The fans fire up but Dom SUPERKICKS Priest! And then NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Priest stays in this but Dom throws his shirt at Priest. Priest is annoyed as Dom talks trash. Dom fires hands, saying he already beat Priest once. Priest gets mad and he ROCKS Dom! Dom CHOPS! Priest snarls and the fans fire up! Priest blocks a shot, to LARIAT Dom down! And again! Dom dodges one but runs into a FLAPJACK! The fans fire up with Priest and he fires off KICK after KICK! ROLLING ELBOW! HAYMAKER! Dom is down and the fans fire up again! Dom goes to a corner, Priest runs in, BACK ELBOW! FLATLINER!
The fans fire up with Priest as he powers up his arm. Dom rises, Priest runs, but Sheamus pushes Dom down to then clinch Priest! IRISH CURSE BACKBREAKER! Rollins returns, but he gets an IRISH CURSE! Dom runs up, but into an IRISH CURSE! The fans fire up for the Fella, and he puts Dom in a drop zone. Sheamus climbs up, and the fans cheer him on! Sheamus KING KONG KNEE DROPS on Dom! Cover, but Rollins springboards to SENTON onto it! Priest ROUNDHOUSES Rollins! Rollins PELES Priest! Priest rebounds to LARIAT Rollins down! The fans fire up as all four men are down around ringside, and Raw goes to break!
Raw returns yet again and Rollins trades shots with Sheamus! The fans rally as the shots speed up! Sheamus mule kicks, front kicks, then runs, but into a ROLLING ELBOW! Rollins sees Priest and rushes over, but Priest ROUNDHOUSES Rollins first! Sheamus LARIATS Rollins up and out! Priest choke grips Sheamus but Sheamus fights free! Priest ducks an elbow to BELL CLAP! But then KNEE CAP! Sheamus fireman’s carries for the WHITE NOISE! Cover, TWO!! Priest survives and the fans fire up again! Dom is lurking, and he runs up to DROPKICK Sheamus onto ropes! Fans boo but Dom dials it up!
But Sheamus scoops Dom! POWERSLAM! The fans fire up with Sheamus again as he aims from a corner! Sheamus beats his chest, the fans hoot along, BROGUE- SUPERKICK from Rollins! Sheamus tumbles out, but Dom rolls Rollins up! With tights! TWO!! Rollins is free, he kicks low, and he PEDIGREES Dom down!! The fans are fired up again and Rollins takes aim. The singing returns, but then BRONSON REED POSTS SHEAMUS! And he WRECKS Priest! The fans boo as Auszilla won’t leave Rollins alone! Rollins DROPKICKS Bronson first! They brawl, but Bronson CLOBBERS Rollins!
Bronson clears off the desk! The fans are torn, but then Priest ROCKS Bronson! Sheamus KNEE CAPS him! Bronson ends up in the ring, Sheamus chases after Bronson, but Bronson CLOBBERS him! Priest ROCKS Bronson, but then Bronson fireman’s carries Priest! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Sheamus is back up, Bronson gives him a DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Bronson then goes up a corner! The fans boo and Dom watches in horror as we see a TSUNAMI! Then Bronson goes up another corner, TSUNAMI for Sheamus!! Bronson roars, the fans boo, but then Bronson goes after Rollins! Bronson puts Rollins on the desk!
Bronson goes up the barriers, and it’s a sequel from months ago! TSUNAMI through the table!! The fans are torn but mostly freaking out as Bronson has wrecked three former World Heavyweight Champions! And Dom is a vulture! He FROG SPLASHES Sheamus!! Cover, PRIEST BREAKS IT!!! The fans are thunderous that Priest refuses to let Dom steal one! Dom is furious, he dials it up, 619 for Priest! Dom goes up, to FROG- SOUTH OF HEAVEN!!! Priest crawls to the cover, PRIEST WINS!!
Winner: Damian Priest, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the WWE World Heavyweight Champion)
Dom almost won another one with help, but nothing could stop The Punishment! Priest fought through the pain to become a contender, will he fight through that and then some to once again be El Campeon?

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He welcomes us live to Collision in Philadelphia, but he is not alone! Daniel Garcia, The Conglomeration, The Outrunners, FTR, and pretty much ever team in AEW are all here, because we are welcoming in the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions, Private Party! Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy already have drink service going as they strut past La Faccion Ingobernable, The Premier Athletes, MXM Collection, Grizzled Young Veterans and Shane Taylor Promotions (which now includes The Infantry for those who missed last Thursday’s ROH). Quen & Zay go to the ring to join their VIPS in the ring.
Schiavone welcomes them to the ring, and says Private Party turned out one of the most tremendous performances he has seen. The fans chant, “You Deserve It!” and even the other AEW stars clap along. Schiavone says after a seven MONTH reign, The Young Bucks lose so that Quen & Zay become the champs. Quen & Zay say they can’t hear Schiavone, the fans are saying something. “You Deserve It!” Okay, okay, real talk, they love y’all. At the beginning of this year, Private Party came in and said, “New Year, New Champs.” Well, it took them a long, long time, but Philly, we did it! The fans cheer that!
Zay says he even swore on his mom that they were gonna win, and Philly, when a man swears on his mama, you better believe it. Now, Matthew, Nicholas, Young Bucks, Private Party wants to thank you for making them earn this. Because every time they get in the ring with The Bucks, Private Party has gotten better, and better, and better, and they have the titles to prove it! And with that said, you probably wanna know what’s next, right? Well, Philly, here’s what is next. Not shots, no, that’s later. Zay promises. But speaking of shots… They are willing to defend these titles up against anybody and everybody. And they mean everybody!
Quen & Zay stare down FTR as the #TopGuys, and they start shoving! Garcia steps in for Private Party and the Outrunners step in for FTR. Truth Magnum wants everyone to take it easy, take it easy. If they’re anything like Truth, and Truth knows he is, then you came here for one reason and one reason only: To celebrate the five year journey of Private Party! The fans all cheer that! Tell ’em, Turbo! Turbo says what’s in the past is in the past, Bucks are gone, the Party is here. That was their time then. Now it’s Private Party’s time! And the sign outside doesn’t say “FTR” or “Private Party,” or even “Outrunners.” It says A E W! Where the best teams wrestle!
The fans fire up for that! The teams all hug it out because yes, this is about good times, not grudges. And so with that said, the party is never gonna end! Because everyone knows there ain’t no party like a Private Party, and that’s a flex. The fans cheer, but the teams on the stage don’t really care. Will one of those teams come looking to ruin the party?
Mariah May arrives backstage.
“Blow it out your arse.” Well that’s not very nice of The Glamour.
Anna Jay arrives backstage.
“Mariah, you said you couldn’t be beaten? Well I can, I have, and I will. Philly, get ready for your new AEW Women’s World Champion.” The Queenslayer is ready to take the throne, but will she still not be THE Star of the Show?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Renee Paquette is with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens and says they gotta talk the AEW Tag Team Division. A lot has changed, such as the NEW AEW Tag Team Champions being Private Party. The Acclaimed are the winningest team in AEW, what is their take? Bowens says he doesn’t say this often, but from the Scissor King to Private Party, he congratulates them. They’re even proud of Private Party as fellow homegrown AEW stars. BUT! Do not let that fool you. The Acclaimed is the best tag team to ever do it in this company! And they are coming back for those titles.
Caster says THAT’S RIGHT! Two time champs and they’ve been doing this all year. Now, just because it is Private Party and not the Young Bucks, hey, there’s a lot in common here. But what’s not in common is that Quen & Zay do not have the Best Wrestler Alive on their team! And everyone knows that when Acclaimed and Private Party lock up, there is only one outcome possible. And why is that? It’s because EVERYONE loves The Acclaimed! Uh, Caster kinda took Bowens’ line from him, even after cuing him up… Caster wants to get serious. Private Party are still come-up, the fans haven’t really taken to them.
But the fans, they love The Acclaimed. If the fans loved Private Party like they love The Acclaimed, then Quen & Zay would have friendship bracelets comin’ out the wazoo like Caster. And Caster also gets money! Hard earned cash! Wait, does he still have the Hurt Syndicate card? Oh, that’s to Caster’s final point. Private Party does not have the attention of MVP, him begging them to join like he is The Acclaimed. Oh, and as for the answer to that, Caster says, “I dunno. I dunno.” But what Caster does know is that Private Party, when those belts are on the line, it’s time to- Now Bowens interrupts to say “NUT UP, OR SHUT UP!”
Why? Because EVERYONE loves The Acclaimed! There’s some passive aggressive dysfunction going on here. Do Caster & Bowens need to worry about each other before they worry about gold?
Day of the Dead Match: Thunder Rosa VS Harley Cameron!
La Mera Mera did not appreciate this Outcast mocking the face paint that represents this solemn tradition. Will Rosa celebrate those who have passed on by adding Harley to the list? Or will this insane Aussie actually get one over the former AEW Women’s World Champion?
The bell rings and Harley is not intimidated by the display around the ring. Harley shoves Rosa, Rosa SHOVES back! The fans fire up, but Harley knees low. And kicks! And ENZIGIRIS! Harley says SHE is La Mera Mera now! But then Rosa storms up behind her, and says no she’s not~! Rosa THROWS Harley, then Harley comes back. Rosa dodges, arm-drags Harley, and mule kicks! Then ENZIGIRI! The fans fire up with Rosa and she watches Harley go to the apron. Rosa runs, and she WRECKS Harley with a dropkick! The fans fire up more as Rosa brings Harley around. Rosa SMACKS Harley off the apron, then CHOPS!
Rosa brings out a trash can lid, but also a board. Tribute to R. Smooth and a SMACK to Harley! Then SMACK with the trash can lid! Harley writhes, but Rosa SMACKS her again! Rosa drags Harley up to CHOP and knuckle lock. Rosa goes onto the railing, but she does need some help. Fans help her balance, and she tightrope walks, only for Harley to YANK her down! Rosa lands on railing, then Harley throws her down from the railing! Harley CHOKES Rosa, insists she is the new La Mera Mera, and then brings her up to whip into steel steps! Harley brings the board with the lovely panting on it, then goes back for Rosa.
Harley whips, Rosa reverse, and Harley goes through the board! Rosa says SHE is La Mera Mera! The fans fire up and Collision goes picture in picture.
Rosa dumps another painted board onto Harley, then stomps it apart on her! Harley is stuck in wood wreckage while Rosa grabs a trash can. Rosa puts the can in the ring, slides in a few other things, then adds chair after chair. Rosa brings out a TABLE! The fans like that as Rosa puts that in the ring. Rosa goes back for Harley, SAMCKS her off the apron, and Harley falls and flounders. Rosa brings out a chair, and she SMACKS Harley! Harley writhes, and Rosa DIGS the chair into her! Rosa drags Harley up again, SMACKS her off the apron, then POSTS her! Rosa storms up but Harley JAWBREAKERS back! Then RUSSIAN LEG SWEEPS to the floor!
Harley covers, but this isn’t Falls Count Anywhere. Harley puts Rosa in the ring, drags her around, and clamps on with a SEATED COBRA TWIST! Rosa endures, fights up, and fires body shots. But Harley grinds Rosa into a modified abdominal stretch! Rosa endures, fights with fists, and Collision returns to single picture right as Rosa hip tosses Harley! Rosa CHOPS Harley, runs, but Harley LARIATS! Harley runs, but Rosa follows to LARIAT! Rosa runs but Harley LARIATS again! Harley runs, Rosa LARIATS again! Rosa fires forearms, then runs, but Harley dodges! Both women come back, DOUBLE FACEBUSTERS!
The fans fire up while both women are down! Rosa rises, she finds Harley, but Harley fires a forearm first! Rosa hits back! They go back and forth, shot for shot, and then Rosa has the edge! CODE BREAKER! Harley flops back, Rosa drags her to a cover, TWO! Rosa is annoyed but she goes for a chair. Rosa sits that chair up, then adds another. Those chairs face each other, then Rosa goes out to look for more. She brings in the big painted skull board, and she puts that across the chairs like a bridge. Rosa grins and she looks for Harley. Harley SMASHES a pinata on Rosa’s head! And again! And again! The candy is everywhere!
Harley drags Rosa up, suplexes, and Rosa crashes down through the board! Cover, TWO!! Rosa survives and the fans fire up! Harley SMACKS Rosa off a chair, then again, then again! Harley sits Rosa down and again shouts Harley is La Mera Mera! Harley runs, but Rosa dodge! Harley crashes into just chair! Harley hobbles, Rosa has the chair, and she SMACKS Harley on the back! And SMACKS her again! Harley writhes, but Rosa has the trash can! The trash can goes around Harley, and Rosa KICKS, KICKS and KICKS! Rosa treats Harley like a heavy bag, then RAMS her into a corner for more KICKS!
Rosa sits Harley down, then brings a table over! Rosa stands the table up and the fans fire up! The table is more a ramp, and Rosa runs to use it! Rosa FLYING DROPKICKS the trash can! Cover, Rosa wins!!
Winner: Thunder Rosas, by pinfall
La Mera Mera is STILL La Mera Mera! Rosa stands tall, but will she be waiting on the other side of tonight’s AEW Women’s World Championship match?
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy Nair is with Roderick Strong, Mike Bennett & Matt Taven and notes Roddy has his match with Shane Taylor tonight. This counts to MJF’s challenge, but Roddy shouts “SHANE!” Roddy knows Shane is a bad man, but he is just an obstacle on the road to Full Gear. As bad as Adam Cole wants to get his hands on MJF, Roddy wants that even more, because he wants to beat MJF within an inch of his life! Then Adam can finish the job. But enough about MJF, let’s talk about The Kingdom! Big win on Rampage last week, and Adam Cole is better than ever. But before Cole gets his second win on Wednesday against Malakai Black, Roddy needs his first!
Taven agrees. The Kingdom has made the changes that needed to be made. The Kingdom wants those AEW World Tag Team Championships, but tonight is about Roddy, the wrestling legend! But then Brian Cage & Lance Archer walk in. Why is Lexy wasting time with amateurs? They’re on the road to Max? Please. There is a road of devastation The Machine & Murderhawk Monster are on! City after city! Archer tells them all to sit their asses down while they watch a real tag team at work. Because as Archer says, #EverybodyDies! Taven asks who even are those Melvins. Will these two teams be on their own Collision course when it comes to the tag titles?
Kyle Fletcher VS Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes!
The Protostar thinks Will Ospreay is a coward just for not showing up after being hurt so bad he’s bedridden. But will Kyle be able to focus on his own business here tonight? Or will the Commander of the Skies make Kyle his third win in as many days between ROH, Rampage and Collision?
Kyle takes his time with his elaborate entrance attire, acting like he’s Tetsuya Naito fused with Taichi or something. The bell rings and Kyle throws his pants at Komander, to then BOOT him down! The fans boo but Kyle dusts himself off. Kyle paces while Komander flounders. Kyle smirks as he drags Komander up, and he scoops Komander to swing and TOSS! Komander flounders to a corner while the fans boo, and Abrahantes coaches him up. Kyle soaks up the heat, and he storms over to drag Komander up. Kyle CHOPS and Komander sputters as he goes to a corner. Kyle scoops and SLAMS Komander again!
Kyle paces, then looms over Komander. Kyle scoops Komander, puts him in the Tree of Woe, and he pushes on the legs. Kyle then KICKS away on Komander’s chest! The ref counts, Kyle sneaks kicks in while arguing. Kyle soaks up more heat while Komander flops out of the Tree. The fans rally but Kyle drags Komander up. Kyle whips corner to corner, runs in, but Komander dodges! Kyle hits buckles, but he keeps after Komander. Komander ducks ‘n’ dodges him, but springboards into Kyle’s arms! Kyle pops Komander up, but Komander crucifix takedown! TWO, and things speed up! Tilt-o-whirl RANA! DROPKICK!
The fans fire up as Komander has Kyle in a corner. Komander CHOPS, but Kyle gets mad! Komander CHOPS, but Kyle puts Komander in the corner. Komander dodges to CHOP, CHOP, and CHOP! Komander knuckle locks, KICKS, CHOPS, and goes up, up, and around, only for Kyle to SHOVE Komander down! Komander hits railing and the fans boo! Kyle grins then storms out after Komander. Kyle brings Komander up to APRON POWERBOMB! Kyle leaves Komander behind to flex, and fans boo while Collision goes picture in picture.
Komander writhes but is somehow still in this. Kyle taunts the fans, then fetches Komander off the floor. Kyle dusts himself off, drags Komander up, and runs him into railing! Kyle paces while he soaks up more heat. Kyle drags Komander up, puts him in the ring, and then takes his time stepping inside. Komander crawls but Kyle stalks him to then stomp him. Kyle stomps Komander at the ropes, the ref reprimands, but Kyle digs his boots in. Kyle flexes before stepping away, and Kyle mockingly apologizes. Kyle soaks up more heat from the fans, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Kyle has Komander back in the Tree of Woe. Kyle runs corner to corner, but Komander sits up! Kyle goes up but Komander has him for SUPER SLICED BREAD! The fans fire up as Kyle bails out. Komander builds speed to slide, but Kyle slides in! Kyle DIVES and sends Komander into the desk! Kyle throws Komander into the ring, then eh BOOTS Abrahantes just because! The fans boo but Kyle smirks. Komander sees that and is pissed! He goes up and up to ARIHARA MOONSAULT! Down goes Kyle and the fans fire up! Komander checks Abrahantes, and Abrahantes says don’t worry about him, go after Kyle!
Kyle is in the drop zone, Komander climbs ups! But Kyle runs in, so Komander leaps over! Kyle scoops, Komander slips free to mule kick, SUPERKICK, and run! Kyle swings, Komander dodges, but then Kyle blows throw Komander’s lariat! Kyle runs in, into a SPANISH FLY! Cover, TWO!! Kyle survives and Komander is stunned! The fans rally up, Komander aims, and he runs in at Kyle to go up and up and MOONSAULT! INTO BOOTS!! Kyle hauls Komander up, for a LAST RIDE!! Cover, TWO?!? Komander survives, that wasn’t the last one after all! Kyle seethes, and he drags Komander back up.
Kyle underhooks, and then smirks. The fans boo because they know what he’s doing. TIGER- RANA!! Cover, TWO!! Komander almost had Kyle! But Kyle scoops, only for Kmoander to slip free! Kyle hits buckles, Komander goes up and up, POISON- NO!! Kyle blocks, and he flips Komander up, but Komander RANAS Kyle out to the floor! But Kyle lands on his feet and keeps hold! So Komander POISON-RANAS Kyle to the floor!! The fans go nuts, “This is Awesome!” Komander puts Kyle in, but Kyle clings to ropes. Komander goes to the apron, blocks a kick to KICK, KICK, and APRON DESTINO!?!
Komander shoves Kyle into the ring, then hurries up, up and MOONSAULT!! Cover, TWO?!?! Kyle survives and no one can believe it! But Komander hurries to run in again, but into a LARIAT!! Kyle seethes, foams from the mouth like a rabid animal, and he runs corner to corner! GAMANGIRI!! Then Kyle puts Komander up top, climbs, TOP ROPE- NO, Komander slips free! Komander KICKS a leg out, Kyle hobbles, and Komander springboards! FLYING DESTROYER!!! Kyle flops out of the ring and the fans are thunderous! Kyle sits up in a daze but Komander aims from the far side of the ring!
Komander tightrope walks for the DOUBLE JUMP MOONSAULT!! Down goes Kyle but Komander puts him int he ring. Fans are still losing their minds, but Komander goes back up. CIELITO- NO, Kyle hits the ropes enough to trip Komander up! Kyle drags Komander off ropes, for a BRAINBUSTER!! But Kyle won’t let it end here, he wants to do damage! Kyle stands Komander up, runs in, GAMANGIRI!! And then with a sinister grin, Kyle puts Komander up top. Kyle climbs up, for the TOP ROPE BRAINBSUTER!!! Cover, Kyle wins!
Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall
The Protostar cut his hair, cut his ties with The United Empire, and has brought out something truly dark within himself. And now he rains down fists on Komander just because he can! But wait, here comes Mark Davis! The former Aussie Open stares down in the ring, and Kyle dares Mark to do something then. Mark says Kyle’s the one who’s afraid to do something. Kyle leaves, because he’s leaving Mark behind. But will Dunkzilla have to be the one to slap some sense into The Aussie Arrow?
Jack Perry speaks.
“A lot’s changing these days. Some for the better, and some remains to be seen. The only thing that-” Daniel Garcia interrupts by stepping in. Garcia says don’t be scared, he just wants to talk. What he wanted to do was come into Perry’s little hideout, grab him by the throat and push him against the wall again. But then he realized he needed to be nice and try a different approach. Aggression isn’t the best way to communicate with someone like Perry. Because someone like Perry and someone like Garcia, they’re very different people.
Perry was handed everything in his life since he was a kid, up until right now. But Garcia has been dealing with “pretentious pieces of trash like you” his entire life. What would Perry ever know about someone like Garcia? Honestly, he wants to know. Perry says he knows Garcia because he’s been Garcia. Everything Garcia believes in, Perry already believed. Perry already fought for everything Garcia thinks he’s fighting for now, because this was Perry’s dream. Just like it was Garcia’s. And Perry gave his everything to this because he loved it. Because he needed it. But it turned its back on him all the same.
But Perry sees this now for what it really is, and Garcia has seen just as well as Perry what kind of person succeeds here. Garcia has seen firsthand who his heroes really are. And yet Garcia still thinks there’s good and bad? “They” can’t even tell the difference. But Garcia is afraid to be the person he has to be, to sacrifice everything for what he loves, and that is why he is not ready. Perry leaves, but will Garcia come to understand what he’s talking about?
Brian Cage & Lance Archer VS Shaun Smith & Joe Keys!
Kyle just won big for the Don Callis Family, and now it is time for the newest members to do the same. #EverybodyDies, but will there be no team better than these Murder Machines?
The teams sort out and Cage starts against Keys. The bell rings and Cage CLOBBERS Keys! Then he BLASTS Smith! cage whips Keys corner to corner, UPPERCUTS, then GAMANGIRIS! Then GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up with Cage and he tags Archer. Archer bumps Keys off buckles, t hen runs corner to corner to ELBOW! Archer keeps moving, and he ELBOWS Keys again! Keys sputters, but Archer runs to ELBOW him again! Archer then short arm LARIATS Keys down! Keys dodges the next one, hot tag to Shaun! Shaun springboards, Archer dodges, but then Shaun ducks ‘n’ dodges. Archer scoops him for a BOSS MAN SLAM!
Archer drags Shaun up, puts him up top, and he tags Cage before he CLOBBERS Shaun to the floor! Cage drags Shaun up the apron, and deadlift SUPERPLEXES! The fans fire up, but Keys is back! Keys CLUBS Archer, but Archer CHOKE SLAMS him! Cage hauls Shaun up, CHOKE SLAM POWERBOMB!! Cover, Cage & Archer win!
Winners: Brian Cage & Lance Archer, by pinfall
They said they’re on a path of destruction, and that means no mercy! Archer hoists Keys up, Cage RAMS into Shaun! BLACKOUT BOMB for Keys! DRILL CLAW for Shaun!! Archer laughs as he then drags Keys up and feeds him to Cage. But here comes The Undisputed Kingdom! They run Cage & Archer off, is this just a preview of what we’ll get down the line? And we again see Kyle O’Reilly watching. He may be Conglomeration, but he seems proud of his former friends for turning over some new leaves.
Backstage interview with AR Fox.
Lexy is with the Whole Fox’n Show and says he had such a great showing against Ricochet. What is next for him? Fox says he just has to get… Nick Wayne steps in, accompanied by his mom, Shayna, and new ally in Kip Sabian. Nick says, “Sup, Fox? Funny how I’m just now seeing you after all this time has passed.” It’s been a year, year and a half, right? A lot has changed since then. Nick has since learned from his “father,” Christian Cage, that you never, ever forget who wronged you, and to always hold a grudge. Fox’s biggest mistake was jumping him in the Wayne wrestling school last year.
But Nick is a man now. He’s changed! He’s not the little boy Fox used to know. Didn’t he see what they did to Hook? And on Wednesday, Hook is supposed to face Christian, but he might not even show up. Fox tells Nick to hold on. Hook or not, Fox will face Nick next week for Collision. Fox adds, “Don’t sleep on Hook.” Fox leaves, Nick laughs off that warning. But will Nick learn a lesson when he faces Fox 1v1?
Kris Statlander speaks.
“I’ve been replaying that moment over and over in my mind, and it really pisses me off. Mercedes, I’m sorry that I crushed your Brickhouse, that I tore up your safety net. But if you’re everything that you say you are, then me coming for your TBS title at Full Gear should be no big deal. You walk around here like you’re better than everyone in AEW who put in the work day in and day out. Yet, you shield yourself with your entourage as you run away and hide in your private dressing room. You’re afraid. Because you know that I’m locked in, and that the target is you. Be prepared to prove your worth, Mercedes.
“Because last year at Full Gear, I only walked in as the TBS Champion. But this year, I’m walking out the NEW TBS Champion!” Will #BornAgainKristen be the TWO-TIME Face of TBS?
Jon Moxley is here!
The Maniac leads his brutal “Death Riders” in from the crowd. It’s just Wheeler Yuta & Marina Shafir right now, but surely Claudio Castagnoli & Pac can’t be far behind. The fans are torn, but Moxley is amused that he has fans cheering him on at all. Moxley has a mic to say, “We are live in Philadelphia…! The home of Orange Cassidy. Who in three weeks, says he’s gonna ‘cut the head of the snake’ and win the AEW World Championship. Orange Cassidy wants to be the king? Well, he’s got the right idea but it’s not that simple. See, Orange, the game doesn’t begin on November 23rd at Full Gear. The game has already begun.
“The question isn’t whether or not you can slay the dragon in the ring. The question is whether or not you can even make it to Full Gear, with your body and your mind in tact. Orange Cassidy brings the AEW World Championship home to Philadelphia! Wouldn’t that be something? Wouldn’t that be something for you all to be proud of? Philly, I’ve given you something to be proud of. I know Philadelphia better than most. I cut my teeth here, I know what kind of person it takes to make it in Philadelphia. Philadelphia is a city that produces champions!” The fans cheer that!
Moxley says Philly has hard nosed people with grit, guts and determination. People of unshakeable character! Like Wheeler Yuta! The fans are a bit torn on The Decoder, but Moxley says they are honest, hard-working people who do their job. Moxley loves Yuta, he would do anything for Yuta. Yuta understands sacrifice! Yuta understands putting ego aside for the mission, for the goal, for the objective. Yuta understands what it is to fight for something bigger than himself. Wheeler Yuta is a Philadelphia HERO! Wait, Action Andretti makes his way out here? Moxley is intrigued by Action saying he cannot listen to this for another second!
Yuta is a hometown hero? Action is pretty sure Philly thinks Yuta is NOT what Philly is about. From that scruffy beard, he looks like he came from Amish town, straight off a horse and buggy! And if you wanna talk about anybody representing Philly, talk about HIM, Action Andretti! And if there is one thing about Action and his people, when you’re in his city, they ain’t about talking. They’re about action! The fans cheer that! Action is here, by himself, and he ain’t here to talk. he’s here to throw hands with anyone from BCC right here and now! What’s up!? The fans fire up and Yuta says okay, because THE BASTARD attacks!
The fans boo but Pac stomps away on Action! Pac CHOKES Action against ropes! The fans boo but Moxley lets Pac have his fun. A ref is here, and it’s Philly’s own Bryce Remsburg. Action tells Bryce to ring the bell, so the match is on!
PAC VS Action Andretti!
The bell rings, Pac CLOBBERS Action, whips him corner to corner, then back the other way! Action flops down, Pac storms up and he CHOKES Action! The ref counts, Moxley taunts Action, but Pac stops at 4. Action sputters but Pac talks trash. Pac BOOTS Action in the corner, CHOKES him again, then stops as the ref counts. Pac drags Action up to TOSS him out, and then Pac steps out to the apron. Pac looms over Action like a vulture, but Collision goes picture in picture.
Pac drags Action up, brings him around, and CHOPS him against railing! Pac taunts the fans, CHOPS Action again, and then talks more trash before he scoops and SLAMS Action on the floor! Pac soaks up heat, then goes back to Action. Pac refreshes the ring count to then drag Action up. Pac whips Action hard into railing! Pac storms up on Action to bring him up again. Then Pac THROWS Action into railing! Action flounders but Pac leaves him behind. Moxley mockingly coaches Action up, and Action drags himself to the steps. Action drags himself back into the ring, but Pac storms over to him.
Pac CHOPS Action, CHOPS him again, then follows him to a corner. Pac ROCKS Action, digs his boot in, but lets off as the ref counts. Pac drags Action from the corner, paces around him, but Action rises up. Pac drags Action up, reels him in, and snap suplexes! Collision returns to single picture as Action writhes. Pac watches him rise up, then runs in to UPPERCUT! Pac snapmares Action, taunts the fans, then clamps on a headlock. Action endures, fights around, and the fans rally up. Action fights up, but Pac whips. Action reverses, Pac reverses back, btu Action handsprings to BACK ELBOW! The fans fire up while both men are down!
Pac rises, Action crawls to a corner, and Philly is behind their hometown boy. Pac runs in, Action goes up and out to RAM into Pac. Action slingshots up and over, keeps on moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges again, to then DROPKICK! The fans fire up with Action now, and he builds speed to FLY! Down goes Pac and the fans fire up! Action puts Pac in, hurries after, and he climbs a corner to rain down fists! The fans count as Action gets to nine before Pac picks him up! Action slips free, dodges, Pac ducks a kick, but not the ENZIGIRI! Action runs, springboards, FLYING CHUCK! Action mule kicks, CHOPS, BUZZSAWS, and then suplexes for the FALCON ARROW! Cover, TWO!
The fans rally up and Action goes to the apron. But Yuta distracts the ref! Marina JAMS Action in the leg with the briefcase! The fans boo but the ref missed it all! Action drags himself up in a corner, but Pac BOOTS him! Pac puts Action up top, then climbs up, for a SUPER DUPER PLEX! Action sputters but Pac just clamps on the BRUTALIZER!! Action TAPS, Pac wins!
Winner: Pac, by submission
Pac holds on, even after the bell! The fans boo and the ref reprimands but Pac won’t stop! Action is passing out, but here comes Orange Cassidy! Well, sort of. He’s in the crowd and the fans cheer. Cassidy says he has to say something real quick. “Go birds.” The fans cheer that. Cassidy says he loves Philly. So does Yuta. Remember all the times they had here? Remember when Yuta got started training and Cassidy helped him? Remember when Yuta fell on tough times, needed a place to stay, so he slept on Cassidy’s couch? They had a roommate. What was his name? Oh, yeah, Chuck Taylor. Does Yuta remember him?
Cassidy remembers that Yuta. The guy he’s looking at right now, that’s not him. The old Yuta would have never let anyone wrap a chair around his mentor’s neck and CRUSH it! The man in the ring now thinks that Jon Moxley, the guy who wants to BURN AEW down to the ground, cares about him!? Moxley does not care about Yuta, never has, and is just using Yuta. Cassidy needs to show Yuta and everyone else that Moxley is not the man he says he is. How does he do that? By putting a stop to all the false promises! In two weeks, just a few hours up the road via the 95, Full Gear in New Jersey.
Cassidy will bring back the old Yuta, bring back AEW, beat Moxley and become the NEW AEW World Champion! The fans fire up for Cassidy but Moxley and Yuta are both saying it won’t happen. Moxley tells Yuta to go get Cassidy, but Yuta says what does it matter. Moxley SLAPS Yuta and tells him to do it! Yuta reluctantly storms out after Cassidy, with a chair! Cassidy says hold on. He puts his hands in pockets! Yuta is annoyed, but Moxley tells him to just swing on him already! Cassidy says fine, if that’s what Yuta wants. Yuta hesitates, so Cassidy snatches the chair! Cassidy then dodges a punch to ORANGE PUNCH Yuta!
Moxley is pissed and now he hurries out there! Cassidy makes his way up the stands, and the fans cheer! Yuta is punch drunk from the Orange Punch, will Moxley end up like this in just three weeks?
Malakai Black speaks.
“Idle hands do the devil’s work. Have you ever heard that phrase, Adam? It means for those who sit still too long, they are more prone to do bad or evil things. And I have been sitting still and idly by for so long that I have become a shadow. So you and I are becoming relics of an era bygone. And why? Why am I being so cordial, Adam? Well maybe I want you to become the person to end all this for me. To silence these things that I have in my head. Maybe I want you to muffle the noises. Because if you don’t, I will drag you down so deep that the blackest black you have ever seen will not compare to what I will show you.”
Backstage interview with Kyle Fletcher & Konosuke Takeshita.
Lexy is with The Don Callis Family’s Protostar & Alpha, and congratulates Kyle on the win. Kyle stops her there and says he is done talking about the past. Davis, Ospreay, they all wanna drag him into the past when he wants to look to the future. The Don Callis Family is looking into the future, and their future looks like gold! AEW gold at that. Private Party, congrats on becoming tag team champions, but it was only a few months ago when Kyle & Konosuke beat them in a match, so it is time for them to jump back into the Tag Team Division. There is no one Kyle wants to win those belts with than Konosuke, and they can even jump in this Wednesday.
And there is someone else Konosuke wants to get his hands on, right? Konosuke nods and calls out Ricochet in Japanese. Then in English, “Wednesday, I will end you.” Kyle says Ricochet can bring any one he wants, literally anyone, Kyle doesn’t care. The Don Callis Family heads out, will they completely take over AEW?
Lio Rush w/ Top Flight VS Ariya Daivari w/ Mark Sterling!
The Bad Child lost just last night on Rampage, but he is looking to turn things around and speed things up. Will he prove he is the Man of the Hour? Or will Daivari prove that the Premier Athletes Rule?
The bell rings, the fans boo as Daivari holds up the merch shirt, but then Daivari throws it to Lio. Daivari fires off on Lio in a corner, but lets off as the ref counts. Daivari scoops Lio to SLAM him, then says, “ATHLETES!” The fans say, “SUCK!” Daivari whips, Lio holds ropes then BOOTS back! Lio whips, Daivari reverses but Lio springboards to RANA! Lio runs to LARIAT Daivari in a corner, then he fires off hands! Lio stomps, the ref has him back off, but then Lio goes back for more! The ref counts, he has to pry Lio back, and Daivari runs up to LARIAT! Lio bails out, Top Flight has to back Sterling and Josh Woods off.
Daivari fetches Lio into the ring, then drags him up. Daivari fireman’s carries, but Lio slips free. Lio waistlocks, Daivari switches and goes for the full nelson. Lio slips under, ducks ‘n’ dodges ‘n’ redirects! Roll up, TWO! Daivari dragon sleepers for the REVERSE DDT! Cover, TWO! Lio stays in this but Daivari drags him up. Daivari CHOPS, but Lio CHOPS back! Daivari fires a haymaker, Lio fires a haymaker! They go back and forth, then Lio fires hands! Daivari kicks low, but Lio ROCKS him again! Lio whips, Daivari reverses but Lio fires off fast hands! Lio runs, but Daivari follows! Lio ducks then returns to LARIAT!
Lio suplexes for a FALCON ARROW! Cover, TWO! Daivari stays in this and the fans rally up. Lio says it is almost time, and he goes up the corner. Daivari bails out, but Lio just hops down to build speed, and Lio DIVES! Woods takes the hit for Daivari! Lio hurries back in, and he DIVES to take out Sterling! The fans fire up but Daivari whips Lio. Lio swings, RANAS Daivari down, then hurries to put him back in the ring. Lio has Daivari in a drop zone, climbs a corner, but Daivari springs up! Lio jumps over, but Daivari wrenches him to DDT! Daivari slashes his throat and drags Lio up. Hammerlock and- NO, Lio ducks!
Lio shoves Daivari, then rebounds, RUSH HOUR! Daivari falls, Lio climbs, and it’s the FINAL HOUR! Cover, Lio wins!
Winner: Lio Rush, by pinfall
Lio redeems himself from Rampage, but he is still seething. Will Top Flight take the fight to Moxley’s Death Riders for how they did Action?
Backstage interview with MXM Collection and Johnny TV.
Mansoor & Mason Madden POSE, then so does Johnny. MXM are impressed, and Lexy brings up how Johnny was watching MXM’s previous match. Johnny wanted this time so the floor is his. Johnny says little known fact: fashion saves more lives than doctors. And last week, Johnny made a trip to the ER. But Lexy wouldn’t know anything about that, she doesn’t live in Hollywood like Johnny. Johnny has been doing this a long time, he’s seen it all, and he’ll tell them that MXM has “it.” Mason says that means so much coming from Johnny. Mansoor says MXM is the gift that keeps on giving, and receiving. But words like that are a true gift.
Johnny says if they ever wanna collab, feel free to slide into his DMs. Johnny poses, and then he magically slides away! Mansoor says that man knows how to make an exit. Then MXM slowly lower down off screen. But then will MXM join TV in taking AEW by storm?
Roderick Strong w/ The Undisputed Kingdom VS Shane Taylor w/ Shane Taylor Promotions!
We heard the Savior of the Backbreaker speak earlier, and he is looking to get started on his own three match challenge. Will Roddy be able to break big bad Shaney T. to then go after MJF? Or will Roddy learn how to rumble, bad man, rumble?
The bell rings and Roddy circles with Shane. They tie up, Shane powers Roddy back, but the ref counts. Shane lets off slowly, but then BODY SHOTS! Shane talks trash, JABS, JABS, JABS, then stomps away on Roddy! The ref counts, Shane lets off, but the fans rally for Roddy. MJF watches from home and is smirking as Roddy is in trouble. But Roddy fires off shots on Shane, forearms and CHOPS, and he backs Shane down! Carlie Bravo distracts and Shane DECKS Roddy! The Kingdom argues with STP’s Infantry, but Shane hauls Roddy up. Shane puts Roddy in a corner, talks trash, and CHOPS!
Roddy goes to another corner, the Kingdom coaches him up, and he kicks! And CHOPS! Shane TOSSES Roddy, CHOPS again, then talks trash. Shane DECKS Roddy, and Roddy flops out of the ring. STP is there to taunt Roddy but The Kingdom backs them off. Shane pursues Roddy on the outside but Roddy slides inside. Roddy DROPKICKS Shane! Then Roddy fires off haymakers and CHOPS on the outside! Shane shoves Roddy away, slides into the ring, but Roddy pursues. Roddy RAMS Shane, slingshots, but Shane DECKS him again! Shane slingshots Roddy up into a DRAPING STUNNER! Roddy writhes, the fans rally, but Collision goes picture in picture.
Shane stands on Roddy at the ropes! The ref reprimands, Shane steps off, and Roddy sputters. Roddy drags himself up with ropes, but Shane DECKS him! Shane RAMS Roddy into the corner, then RAMS him again! Roddy CLUBS Shane but Shane ROCKS Roddy! Roddy stumbles to a corner but Shane is right on him again. Shane TOSSES Roddy across the way! Roddy flounders to the corner, and Shane runs up to LARIAT! Roddy sputters, Shane gets in his face, and then Shane stands Roddy up, to TOSS him again! Roddy flounders, the Kingdom coach him, but Shane CLOBBERS him in the corner!
Shane talks trash on Bennett & Taven, then goes for Roddy. But Roddy KICKS and fires forearms! Roddy runs, ducks a lariat, but not the SOUTHPAW! Cover, TWO!! Roddy survives and Collision goes to break.

Shane kicks out at 3.01 but that is NOT enough! The Kingdom celebrates with Roddy, and MJF is no longer so smug. Will MJF’s plan backfire to where both Roddy and Adam get three wins in a row? Or will the Wolf of Wrestling find a way to worm out of this situation?

Now, after weeks of trying to bully and belittle her, Mariah must face Anna again, title on the line! Will Mariah’s reign end before she even gets to celebrate it? Or will she keep Anna from being the Star of the Show by any means necessary?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who has the spotlight!

Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Champion)
The Glamour laughs maniacally as she proves she’s still the better wrestler! A technical move takes down Anna, showing she still has much to learn in this ring. Mariah caresses the belt, but then she actually offer a hand? Anna takes it, only for Mariah to leave her hanging. Will anyone ever humble Mariah? Or will AEW always be All About May?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, though they really jammed it full. Very good opening promo with Private Party and a lot of the other teams in AEW. Classic move to have Faces in one spot and Heels in another. I like that there’s some tension between Private Party and FTR because Private Party would of course want to beat another top team like that. But I also like The Outrunners being the peacekeepers here. That contender series is pretty good, too, though why the hell can’t it all just be one night? I mean, I get it, there are a lot of stories going on, some teams need to be open to do those moments. But at the same time, they could’ve easily done this all next Saturday, and then the rest of the build is the teams interacting with each other.
Though to that counterpoint, Top Flight ended up getting got by the BCC, now slowly becoming The Death Riders (Tony Schiavone let that name slip once in his commentary). Moxley does the opposite of what a Heel would do in that he compliments the town they’re in. He compliments Philly for being tough, hardworking and honest, but then tries to put that on Yuta when we’ve all seen Yuta be only two of those things right now. Action stepping up thinking he was fighting Yuta was some good stuff, but it kinda took the match with Pac to get Philly on Action’s side. Pac of course won, but great stuff with Cassidy calling Yuta out for how he changed. Cassidy and Darby have their match with Pac & Claudio on Wednesday, I feel like Yuta’s gonna affect the decision.
Lio VS Daivari was good, though overbooked with Sterling & Woods being around, but like… That was filler. It still works out better when Action got beat up by Pac, but I don’t know, beating Daivari only gets so much these days. On the flipside, Komander and Kyle had an awesome match to mostly help make Kyle look awesome in his newest Heel persona. The jacket is cool, the pants are cool, but then they’re tearaway, hence my comment about Taichi. Kyle gets a great win, and he has a good promo with Konosuke calling out Private Party and Ricochet. I feel like Ricochet is going to bring Ospreay with him just to shock Kyle and piss him off, and then we’ll get an awesome tag match that helps set up the two grudge matches, Ricochet VS Konosuke and Ospreay VS Kyle.
Very good promo from The Acclaimed, and not even because they’re calling out Private Party to get in on the tag title series again. It was good from how they were each passive aggressive to the other. Caster clearly wants to be singles guy but he also seems to think he still needs Bowens by his side. Caster still having the Hurt Syndicate card and simply having an “I dunno” response, there’s gotta be something that happens with The Acclaimed and Hurt Syndicate on Dynamite or something. Caster will say yes, Bowens will say no, they will fight, and no matter the result, Caster will join Hurt Syndicate.
Cage & Archer have a good promo with Undisputed Kingdom, and then of course Cage & Archer annihilate a team to build themselves up. Roddy VS Shane was also a great match, especially with Infantry now Heels and barking at Roddy. Great win for Roddy to start on his three match streak. Good promo from Malakai to call out Adam Cole, but Cole is definitely still winning. I still sense that MJF is going to make Cole and Roddy face each other so that only one can win three matches in a row and get their Full Gear match with MJF. Kyle watching Kingdom continues to be intriguing, I wonder if he leaves Conglomeration to join Kingdom and make it five guys.
And bookending the night with great women’s matches was itself a great move. Rosa VS Harley was a great Day of the Dead match, because it was basically a Day of the Dead themed Street Fight. Great win for Rosa, but I figured she was winning anyway. Harley has made great strides in the ring, though, so kudos to her, too. And then Mariah VS Anna was about equal to their Battle of the Belts match, but I do like that, on the same day we saw Cody Rhodes counter a sleeper to a pin and win, Mariah tried but didn’t win. Mariah still wins with some other roll-up move, and I figured Mariah was going to retain. We even got a Mina teaser before the main event, so clearly they’re getting back to building to Marina VS Mina.
My Score: 8.8/10
