PLAY BY PLAY

Cody Rhodes is here!

Milwaukee, Wisconsin fires up for The American Nightmare, and of course they sing his song! “WHOA~ OH~!” and the pyro, then Cody continues to the ring. He isn’t in a suit, but you can tell the Undisputed WWE Champion is all business tonight given what Kevin Owens has been up to lately. The fans fire up more as Cody grabs the mic. Cody tells Kevin Owens, “You have crossed quite the line. I know you are back there. Would you please come out here right now?” The fans fire up again while Cody watches the stage. No response, so Cody tells Kevin to get out here, RIGHT NOW! Instead of Kevin, we get Nick Aldis.

Aldis knows Cody is angry, because so is Aldis and so are the fans. Randy Orton, one of the greatest ever, is laid up with severe cervical trauma after coming back from having his back fused together! Aldis understands this is a very different situation. Kevin used a piledriver, a move banned in the WWE for a reason. We don’t want this generation ending up in wheelchairs in 20 years. No one knows better than Aldis how long it takes to get to the WWE. And yeah, they do whatever it takes to make the paydays and win the titles, but they do NOT cross that line. Kevin did cross that line, that’s all there is to it.

So the fact is, until they can figure this out, Aldis cannot have Kevin here. The fans boo and Cody sighs. Aldis is making a martyr of Kevin Owens. This is what Kevin wants! This isn’t exactly a man who drives a Lamborghini, the message of fines will not hit like Aldis thinks. Let Cody handle this. Kevin is self-righteous, indignant and an ass- Aldis wants Cody to stop before he says something he’ll great. The fans say it for Cody. Aldis says this isn’t about money. This is about the roster knowing that Aldis knows, if you give someone an inch, they’ll take a mile. And the next thing we know, the inmates are running the asylum.

Bottomline: Kevin cannot be here until they resolve the issue internally. The fans boo again and Cody repeats, “Internally…” Cody wants Aldis to be real with him for a moment. Cody knows in Aldis’ position, he has to be objective and dispassionate, but Cody knows what is under that suit. Aldis is a former wrestler, still a wrestler in his heart, and a good man. So put yourself in Cody’s shoes here: Imagine you were in that ambulance, calling Orton’s wife and family, saying, “I don’t know if his neck is broken.” And when they ask, “Why?” the only answer is that, as Kevin is telling everyone, “It’s because of me.”

WrestleMania 40 is the highlight of Cody’s life. A moment in that ring, he was on Orton’s shoulders. Then when Orton set him down, he looked Cody in the eyes and said, “Hey, Code Man, I’m proud of you.” The fans cheer that. And as much as Cody loathes that nickname, it is still a moment he will treasure forever because that is what Orton means to Cody. But now Orton is on the shelf again, time taken away, time he might not even have, and all because of Cody!? If Cody cannot handle his business in a WWE ring, what’s he to do? Buy a ticket to a show? Go to Kevin’s house? Knock on Kevin’s door and beat his ass in his front yard?! Is that what he’s supposed to do!?

Cody knows that that is not what Aldis wants from the WWE Champion. That is not how Aldis wants Cody representing the brand. But this ball is in Aldis’ court, and Cody won’t be waiting very long. Cody drops the mic and heads out, what will it take for him and The Prizefighter to settle this?

 

Jimmy Uso is on the phone.

Sporting the new OG Bloodline shirt, Jimmy tells Roman Reigns that he’s got this, Uce. Jimmy ends the call, and he meets up with Jey & Sami, also wearing the OG Bloodline shirt. Jimmy explains that Roman’s on his way and wants them all to meet in the same room together to go over their WarGames game plan. Okay, but they still need their fifth man, bruh. Sami says hold on. He has one more person to ask, and it’s worth a shot. He’ll catch the Usos later. Jimmy doubts Sami again, but will the Honorary Uce come through?

 

WWE Women’s United States Championship Tournament Triple Threat: Bayley VS Candice LeRae VS B-Fab!

It was big news last week when Nick Aldis announced the WWE Women’s Division was getting a brand-new belt, and now we begin the journey to crowning the first-ever WWE Women’s United States Champion! Will the Role Model lead the way to making history again? Will the Poison Pixie look to have more than just the Women’s Speed Championship? Or will B-Fab be fab when she beats two top stars in one go?

SmackDown returns as Candice makes her entrance, joining Bayley in the ring, leaving B-Fab for last. The bell rings and the three watch each other. They approach, and Candice dropkicks Bayley’s legs out! Candice HAMMERS Bayley, B-Fab goes after Candice, but Candice SLAPS B-Fab! B-Fab DECKS Candice! And LARIATS! And then she scoops Candice, holds her up with one arm, and the fans fire up for the SLAM! B-Fab runs to SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! B-Fab rains down fists on Candice, the fans rally, but Candice kicks free. Candice then RAMS B-Fab, CLUBS her, and stomps her.

Candice drags B-Fab up, reels her in, but B-Fab wrenches out to HOOK KICK! Bayley is up, she RAMS into B-Fab, but B-Fab blocks the buckle bump. B-Fab mule kicks Candice, lines up a shot, and DOUBLE LARIATS Bayley and Candice! The fans fire up while B-Fab brushes herself off, and SmackDown goes picture in picture.

B-Fab waits and sees Candice get up. B-Fab fires off on Candice, puts her in a corner and stomps away. B-Fab then digs her boot in, then lets off to snapmare. B-Fab pushes Candice to a cover, TWO! Candice stays in this but B-Fab stays on her. But then Candice CLAWS B-Fab’s face! Candice ELBOWS Bayley off the apron, covers B-Fab, TWO! Candice rains down fists on B-Fab, then soaks up the heat. Candice bumps B-Fab off buckles, snapmares her, then NECK SNAPPER! Jackknife bridge, but Bayley breaks it! Candice bails out but Bayley pursues. Bayley drags Candice up on the apron and HOTSHOTS her in the ropes!

Candice falls to the floor, but Bayley goes after her. Bayley rains down fists over her own, and fires up as she stands by the belt. Bayley storms up on Candice, puts her in the ring, then pushes her to a cover. TWO, but Bayley runs to basement UPPERCUT! And then ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Bayley is a bit annoyed, but she stalks Candice to ropes. Candice drop toeholds Bayley onto ropes! Bayley sputters, Candice runs and DROPKICKS Bayley in the back! Cover, TWO! Bayley toughs it out and bails out of the ring. Candice runs to WRECK Bayley with a dropkick! B-Fab is there to YANK Candice down!

B-Fab puts Bayley in, runs up to RAM her in the corner, then backs up to LEG LARIAT! B-Fab whips Bayley side to side, runs up, but into a FLAPJACK HOTSHOT! Bayley drags B-Fab up, puts her on ropes now, and gives her another HOTSHOT! SmackDown returns to single picture as Bayley snapmares B-Fab, goes up a corner, and MACHO ELBOWS to the back! Cover, Candice breaks it! The fans fire up while all three women are down! Bayley and Candice rise first, and Candice CLUBS Bayley! Bayley hits B-Fab, B-Fab hits Candice, Candice hits Bayley! The shots go around in a circle, but then Bayley and B-Fab mug Candice!

Candice shoves them both away, all three run up, TRIPLE LARIATS! Or is it more like, double double? The fans fire up all the same as all three women stir. The three rise, and Candice hits a STEP-UP SENTON CODE BREAKER COMBO!! Cover on Bayley, TWO! Cover on B-Fab, TWO! Candice is frustrated but she hurries to a corner. Candice climbs up, but B-Fab is right after her! They brawl, and Candice SHOVES B-Fab to the mat! Bayley goes up to ROCK Candice now! Bayley climbs, CLUBS away on Candice, then brings her to the very top! The fans fire up as B-Fab adds on! TOWER OF DOOM! CROSSBODY from Candice! B-Fab breaks the cover!!

The fans fire up again but Candice HAMMERS away on B-Fab! Candice runs, leaps, but B-Fab catches her! SWINGING FACEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Candice survives and B-Fab is frustrated. Bayley has B-Fab but B-Fab kicks her low! B-Fab turns Bayley, TWISTING FACEBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! B-Fab is beside herself, but she hurries to straitjacket. Bayley fights free, clinches, BAYLEY2BELLY!! Candice TOSSES Bayley and goes for B-Fab, but B-Fab cradle counters! TWO!! Candice scrambles to BOOT B-Fab down! Candice lines B-Fab up for the LIONSAULT FLOP as B-Fab moves! And then Bayley POSTS Candice!

But B-Fab hits the CROSSOVER! And the BOOKEND!! Cover, Candice drags B-Fab up! B-Fab TOSSES Candice, BOOTS her, and goes back for Bayley. B-Fab resets with a wrench, but Bayley ducks the hook kick to high stack! BAYLEY WINS!!

Winner: Bayley, by pinfall (advances to the next round)

B-Fab can’t believe it, but Bayley is all fired up! The first-ever WWE Women’s Grand Slam Champion could soon become the first-ever FIVE-STAR Champion! But that means making it through a semifinal round, will Bayley make it to Saturday Night’s Main Event?

 

The Women’s US Championship Tournament Bracket is revealed!

We just saw Bayley win her Triple Threat, and she waits the winner of Bianca Belair VS Chelsea Green VS Blair Davenport! Then we see Jade Cargill VS Mia Yim VS Piper Niven, and Naomi VS Tiffany Stratton VS Elektra Lopez round out the field. Will Naomi be shining with gold for the holidays? Or will Nia Jax make sure to A-Nia-Late Naomi once and for all?

 

Sami Zayn is talking with LA Knight.

The Honorary Uce seems to think the Men’s United States Champion might want to help, but it looks like that’s the opposite of what he wants. The Mega Star is heading to the ring, to hold an OPEN CHALLENGE! Who will answer the call of LA Knight? We’ll find out, after the break.

 

The Street Profits regroup with B-Fab.

Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins tell her it’s alright that she didn’t win tonight. She’ll get it next time. Speaking of next, The Profits are going for the tag titles, they’ll get this done. B-Fab wishes them luck as they head out, but Chelsea Green & Piper Niven walk in. They mockingly saw, “Aww…” Did “B-Flop” really think she was going to win the tournament? So cute. But don’t be sad, Fab, it was a good shot. Not everyone is championship material. But Chelsea & Piper are. So when one of them becomes the inaugural Women’s US Champion, they’ll let B-Fab hold the title. How about that? Just kidding.

Okay, “Trash Can Chelsea,” you both are right about one thing. Only one of them can be the champion. So what happens should they meet in the finals? Well, while you’re worried about B-Fab, they should be more worried about something else. They don’t know what she means but in walks Mia Yim! And Michin has a kendo stick! She doesn’t need a match to fight, so is there a problem here? No, Michin, except you. Mia steps, Chelsea flinches. Chelsea says she and Piper are gonna go strategize. They leave, and Mia tells B-Fab hey, you win some, you lose some. B-Fab’s got people watching her back, but will Michin make sure “Lil’ Miss P” can’t watch Chelsea’s?

 

LA Knight heads to the ring.

All this gold on the line tonight, clearly that has the Mega Star’s juices flowing! The fans cheer him on as he grabs a mic to say, “LEMME TALK TO YA!” Knight has been around the world and ay-yai-yai, everyone’s looking for this title! Knight has come and gone, still your United States Champion! “YEAH!” And apparently, that caught some eyes. Sami Zayn wants Knight to join the Bloodline Civil War? Let’s be honest, that ain’t Knight’s fight. He doesn’t need that, he doesn’t want that. As far as he’s concerned, if the whole Bloodline destroyed each other, he’d be just fine with it, YEAH!

Knight has his own investment, and that is the US Championship. But this isn’t the Logan Paul Show, we aren’t just defending this title two times a year no more. “YEAH!” The fans boo and Knight says that’s more than fine. But while Knight’s here with this title, he will be the man. Here’s what we do: The LA Knight US Championship Open Challenge, YEAH! And wait, here comes Santos Escobar! Knight is annoyed but the Emperor of Lucha is accompanied by Legado Del Fantasma. And the entire LDF steps into the ring, keeping Knight guessing on who’s really accepting the challenge.

Escobar grabs a mic now and he tells Knight, “Lemme tell you something. Why can’t you say something cool? Something interesting? Something that has a ring to it? Shut up, Milwaukeeans! Milwaukeeans? Really? It sounds like you’re from a different planet!” The fans boo more but Escobar says what’s cool is “ES-CO-BAR! SI!” Knight chuckles at the parody, but Escobar says Knight must be disgusted of hearing himself speak. Maybe the Milwaukeeans aren’t, but Escobar sure is, so Escobar is going to shut Knight up. Elektra Lopez has the unique opportunity to become the first-ever Women’s United States Champion.

So Escobar is thinking on top of that, why not bring THE US Championship back home to Legado? Knight stops Escobar there. Knight appreciates the ambition, he hears everything Escobar is saying, but he feels “this goof,” Humberto, staring a hole into him. Humberto is looking at Knight like Knight’s covered in barbecue sauce, maybe Berto’s just hungry. But see, Knight and Escobar, been there, done that, Knight won. But Berto can have an opportunity of a lifetime. See, just a few nights ago, right here in this building, Giannis scored 59 points! The fans cheer that. Escobar says that was all luck.

Knight says he might not hit 59, but he’ll get three the hard way as Berto gets dropped on his head! Berto can get beat like his “daddy” here. But the only one who can call Knight “Daddy” is Mamacita Elektra! YEAH! The fans fire up for that. So while Elektra’s calling Knight “Daddy” and Berto is screaming “Uncle,” everyone will be saying, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!!” Escobar is furious, but he lets Berto CLOBBER Knight! The fans boo and the ref rushes in, but the match is made, for after the break.

WWE United States Championship Open Challenge: LA Knight VS Humberto Carillo w/ Legado Del Fantasma!

SmackDown returns and Knight fires CHOP after CHOP on Berto! Berto ducks one to ROCK Knight! Berto whips Knight to a corner, runs in, but Knight puts Berto on the apron. Berto ROCKS Knight right back! Berto goes up top, but Knight jumps up right after him! Berto SHOVES Knight back down! Berto MISSILE DROPKICKS! Cover, TWO! Knight stays in this but Berto rains down fists! Berto soaks up the heat from Milwaukee, then he clamps onto Knight with a seated cobra twist. Knight endures, the fans rally, and Knight fights up. Knight fires body shots, but Berto UPPERCUGTS! Berto whips, Knight reverses, but Berto holds ropes.

Knight runs up, blocks a boot, and he LARIATS Berto and himself out of the ring! The fans fire up and Knight has Legado back off. Knight SMACKS Berto off the desk again and again! The fans fire up for the dribbling, “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight stops to then SMACK Berto one more time! Knight puts Berto in the ring, kicks and DDTS! Cover, TWO!! Knight stays calm as he brings Berto back up. Knight whips, Berto slips free of the scoop to O’Conner Roll! TWO, but Berto springboards, BASEMENT GAMANGIRI! Cover, TWO!! Knight survives, Legado grows frustrated, but Berto hurries to put Knight in a drop zone.

Berto climbs the corner, MOONSUALT into a BOOT! Angel freaks out while Knight scoops Berto, POWERSLAM! ELBOW FLOP as Berto moves! Berto DROPKICKS Knight in a corner! Berto hurries to put Knight up top, and he CHOPS! Berto climbs, brings Knight up, but Knight fires body shots! Knight HEADBUTTS Berto down, adjusts position, and the fans fire up for the “L! A! KNIGHT!” MACHO ELBOW! The fans fire up as Knight spins Berto for the B F T!! Cover, Knight wins!

Winner: LA Knight, by pinfall (still WWE United States Champion)

Knight tells Escobar that’s what he gets, and he blows a kiss to Lopez because that’s what she likes! Legado goes into retreat, but someone new appears! SHINSUKE NAKAMURA?! He ELBOWS Knight down, then hits a KINSHASA!! The fans boo but Nakamura is like a specter in the night! The King of Strong Style is now a sinister samurai, will this ronin slay the Mega Star to again be champion?

 

The Usos talk backstage.

Jey says they’re in trouble, Uce. Still no fifth man in the WarGames, they gotta tighten up! Jimmy asks why Jey’s after him now. Jimmy is the one who said earlier that- Sami walks in. Sami shakes his head and says it isn’t looking good. Jimmy knew that. Well, where is Roman? They gonna talk or what? Yeah, Roman said to meet him in this room. Then let’s go talk to him. Jey opens the door, the three walk in, and The OG Bloodline meet. Will they have a plan for how to find a fifth? Will they also have a plan for how to overcome Solo Sikoa’s fearsome faction?

 

SmackDown returns and…

Wait, Roman isn’t in here? He said he was gonna be here. Sami says it’s not looking good. Oh, now Roman walks in. Roman takes a seat in the big armchair, and Sami asks who’s gonna tell him. Okay, no one? Sami will just say it: They tried Raw, they tried SmackDown, they got nothing. There is no one The Bloodline hasn’t dropped, no one who wants to work with them. So sorry, there’s no fifth man. Jey tells Roman… He has to make “the call.” But then Solo Sikoa and his Bloodline are headed to the ring! The “Undisputed Tribal Chief” leads Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa to the ring, and the OGs are seeing this on their TV.

Roman gets up and he leads the way out of this room, ready to confront Solo’s side. Solo goes to the ring, he raises the one to the sky, joined by his rogues, and the fans all boo. Solo then grabs a mic, and while fans boo, he tells Milwaukee, “ACKNOWLEDGE ME.” The fans boo harder but wait! Here comes the OG Bloodline! The fans fire up for OTC as he leads the way for Jimmy, Jey & Sami. They get the pyro while they stare down Solo, Jacob, Tama & Loa. The fans fire up as the OGs head down to the ring! The line in the sand is drawn, and then the hands start flying! The fans fire up more as Roman has Solo, Usos have Guerrillas and Sami has Jacob!

The OG Bloodline turns the tides on Solo’s side! Jey FLIES to wipe out Tama, Loa and Jimmy! Jacob DECKS Sami, CLOBBERS Roman, and the fans boo. Jaco then hurries outside to SUPERKICK Jey! And SUPERKICK Jimmy! The Samoan Werewolf roars, and Solo grabs Sami! Solo wants to make Sami pay for swerving him twice! SAMOAN- SPEAR from Roman to Solo!! The fans are thunderous as Roman and Sami nod. Then Sami builds speed to FLY onto Tama & Loa! But that leaves Roman and Jacob! The fans are electric as these two stare down. They circle, the fans cheer on “O T C! O T C!” BUT BRONSON REED ATTACKS?!

The fans boo as now The Colossal Aussie gets involved!? Werewolf and Auszilla stare down, but then Bronson SPLASHES Roman in a corner! And Jacob adds a HIP ATTACK!! The fans boo but somehow, someway, Solo got a BIG ally in this fight! But now Sami & The Usos are back! Tama & Loa join in, it’s another brawl, but Jaco b SPLASHES Jimmy in a corner! Tama CLUBS Sami, Bronson gives Jey a DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Then Sami is fed to a LARIAT from Bronson! The fans boo but Jacob gives Sami the BEST MOONSAULT EVER! And Bronson is up top to TSUNAMI Jimmy!! The fans boo but now they want Roman!

Loa CLUBS Roman, and then whips, but Roman reveres! Loa is sent into POST! Roman brings Loa up to TOSS him over barriers, only for Tama to CLOBBER Roman! Tama puts Roman in the ring, but Roman SUPERMAN PUNCHES Tama! Roman avoids Bronson, SUPERMAN PUNCH for Jacob! SUPERMAN PUNCH for Bronson! But SAMOAN SPIKE for Roman!! Solo stands over Roman, and he tells Jacob to finish this! Jacob puts Roman in the drop zone, BEST MOONSAULT EVER! Bronson wants his turn! Bronson puts Roman back in the drop zone, goes up top, TSUNAMI!! The fans boo and producers shout for them to stop!

The OG Bloodline is down and out as Bronson stands over the former Undisputed Champion. Jacob adorns Solo with the ula fala, and Solo says this is what happens when you mess with the REAL Bloodline! Solo has two Guerrillas, a Werewolf and now a kaiju, is there nothing to stop his Bloodline from dominating the WWE?

 

Kevin Owens speaks.

“I showed up to the arena in Milwaukee earlier, and I was turned away. I was told that I’m not welcomed and that I had to leave. Because of what I did to Randy Orton last week. But what I did to Randy Orton last week was, I did my job. All I did was do what they asked me to do, because Randy showed up, called me out to the ring, and then I showed up. And now I’m in trouble because I put Randy Orton on the shelf? That is absolute nonsense. It’s not fair. But guess what the best part is? Just now, a few minutes ago, I got a call from Nick Aldis asking me to be at SmackDown in Salt Lake City next Friday.

“Why? Because the little golden boy, Cody Rhodes, wants me there! OH MY GOD, Cody wants me there!? I have to be there, right?! Can’t disappoint Cody Rhodes! Well you know what, Cody? I shouldn’t show up. But I will. I’ll be there. Not for you. Not for Nick Aldis. Not even for the WWE, because they hardly deserve me at this point. I’m gonna show up next week for myself. Because I happen to love Utah. The mountains, the fresh air, all that stuff. It’s good for me. But everyone needs to remember one thing. When I show up next Friday, I’m just doing what you all want me to do. I’m just doing my job.”

 

WWE Tag Team Championships: The Motor City Machine Guns VS The Street Profits!

Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin are truly one of the most decorated tag teams in wrestling, but they’re going up against the WWE Triple Crown that holds it down. Will Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins prove this is their comeback season? Or will the Profits go belly up against the Guns?

The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who’s really the best!

The teams sort out, Sabin and Ford start, and the two circle. The fans rally as the two tie up, and Ford puts Sabin in a corner. Ford lets off, but then stomps Sabin and CLUBS him down. Ford whips Sabin, but Sabin sunset flips! Ford sits on the cover, TWO as Sabin finishes the sunset. TWO, and Sabin blocks a kick. Sabin flips Ford, Ford lands on his feet, and the fans fire up for the standoff. Sabin offers a handshake, but Ford smirks. Ford runs up, but Sabin arm-drags! And arm-drags again! Sabin has the armlock, brings Ford up, tag to Shelley. The MCMG double whip, atomic drop, dropkick to the legs! DREAM SEQUENCE!

The fans fire up while Shelley covers, TWO! Ford toughs it out but Shelley covers again. TWO, and a third cover, TWO! Shelley wrenches Ford’s arm, but Ford pushes free. Ford then blows past Shelley to LARIAT on return! The fans fire up while Shelley bails out. Tag to Dawkins, and he runs in from the outside! Dawkins POUNCES Shelley over the desk! The Profits are up and ready to be champs again, but SmackDown goes to break.

SmackDown returns and Shelley fights out of the Profits’ corner. But Dawkins catches Shelley to RAM him into the corner! Dawkins then runs up, but Shelley dodges! Dawkins hits buckles, Ford tags in, and Ford anchors Shelley’s leg! Shelley BOOTS Ford away, hot tag to Sabin! Sabin dodges Ford, DROPKCIKS Dawkins, then BOOTS Ford. Sabin goes up to FLYING RANA!

The fans fire up with MCMG as Sabin goes back to the ring. Ford is in a corner, Sabin runs up to ELBOW! Tag to Shelley and Sabin feeds Ford to the clinch. Sabin climbs, MISSILE DROPKICK FLATLINER COMBO! Cover, TWO! Ford survives but Shelley drags him back up. Shelley wrenches an arm, for an ELBOW BREAKER! Tag to Sabin, MCMG mugs Ford, and Sabin fireman’s carries. Ford fights free, tags Dawkins, and then runs up to BLAST Shelley! Sabin ROCKS Dawkins, ROCKS Ford, but Dawkins POUNCES Sabin into the GERMAN SUPLEX! Cover, TWO! Dawkins says keep going, and he tags Ford in!

Ford climbs, Dawkins lifts Sabin, but CIAMPA SHOVES FORD!!!

Winners: The Street Profits, by disqualification (MCMG retain the titles)

Ciampa attacks Dawkins, then POSTS him! The fans boo as the Sicilian Psycho ruins this match! Ciampa stomps away on Ford, then rains down fists! Shelley pulls Ciampa back but Gargano is here now! Gargano wants everyone to stop, and he wants Ciampa to calm down. Ciampa says okay, sorry. But then he SHOVES Gargano?! Ciampa says he’s doing this for DIY! Ciampa storms off saying they talked about the titles! Ciampa wants the titles, DIY should have the titles, but they don’t have the titles! Gargano hurries after Ciampa while MCMG apologize to the Profits. Dawkins DECKS Shelley! The fans boo but it seems The Profits are as frustrated as Ciampa.

MCMG regroups, unsure what to make of any of this. But it’s not like they aren’t familiar with having targets on their back in the form of gold. Will they just have to be quicker on the draw next time?

 

Bayley finds Naomi backstage.

The Role Model says, “There’s my main event! The living legend!” Bayley is so excited to watch Naomi win the title. Naomi thanks Bayley for that, and congratulates Bayley on her own win in the Women’s US Championship Tournament. Bayley thanks Naomi, and they could be a couple champions! But before getting too carried away, Bayley brings up watching Monday Night Raw, and Bayley wants Naomi to watch out for Iyo Sky. We know we can’t trust her. We know the past beef- Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill walk in. And Bianca says, “Trust? Well, well, well…” But no, The EST won’t get into the beef she and Bayley have because it’s not about them.

Bianca says this is about their girl, Naomi, and her title match tonight. And Jade says they got this. If anyone wants to try Naomi, she knows Jade & Bianca have her back. They’ll snatch and drag! Bayley says okay, she’ll catch Naomi later. Bianca, Jade and Naomi power up as the Big 3, but can’t there be room for more?

 

WWE Women’s Championship: Nia Jax VS Naomi!

This moment has been building for a month, though not without some footnotes and disclaimers. But a win is a win, and the Queen of the Ring owes Naomi this title match. Will the Irresistible Force be able to A-Nia-Late another contender? Or will she and the WWE Universe all #FeelTheGlow?

SmackDown returns and Nia makes her entrance. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who sits upon the throne!

Nia is tougher than that, but Bianca & Jade are cheering Naomi on from backstage.

Tiffany Stratton is watching, too, as Nia whips and ROCKS Naomi! Nia whips Naomi out of the ring, then soaks up more heat. The ref starts the ring count, and Naomi climbs up. Naomi RAMS into Nia, slingshots up and over to sunset flip, ONE!! Nia LARIATS Naomi right down! Cover, TWO! Nia is annoyed and tells the ref to shut up already. Nia clamps on a chinlock and grinds Naomi down. Naomi endures and the fans rally up. Naomi fights to her feet, Nia whips, but Naomi slides under the lariat!

Nia survives but Milwaukee rallies behind Naomi. Naomi brings Nia up but Nia RAMS her into a corner! Nia gets space, but Naomi runs up! But into a POP-UP SAMOAN DROP! The ref almost gets taken out as collateral!

The fans boo but Nia eyes the corner. Nia puts Naomi in the drop zone, then goes up the corner! But Naomi hurries to SHOVE Nia over! Nia tumbles to apron then floor! Naomi hurries up the corner, and she SUPER CROSSBODIES! Down goes Nia and “This is Awesome!” Wait, Raquel Rodriguez & Liv Morgan are beating up on Bianca & Jade! The fans boo as Judgment Day has wiped out the StrongEST Duo! The ref is checking Naomi and Nia, and both are okay to continue. Naomi drags Nia up and into the ring, but here comes Tiffany! The ref is busy with Nia as Tiff sucker punches Naomi! LEG DROP by Nia!!

Nia drags Naomi to the drop zone and Tiff cheers her on. Nia goes up, but Naomi rises! ENZIGIRI!! Nia wobbles, Tiff worries, but Naomi climbs up! Only for Nia to scoop! SUPER POWER- ARM-DRAG?!?! Cover, TWO!!! Naomi can’t believe how close she was, and neither can Milwaukee! Tiff calls to the ref, but Naomi runs her off! And then BAYLEY shows up! Bayley ROCKS Tiff, then THROWS her into barriers! Naomi dodges Nia, rolls her up, TWO!! Nia is up, Naomi POSTS her! Naomi has Nia down, then she goes up! SPLIT-LEG MOONSAULT!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Nia survives and Bayley is just as stunned!

Naomi grows frustrated, unsure what she has to do. Naomi just goes back up and the fans cheer her on. But then Candice POSTS Bayley! Naomi is distracted, Nia gets her for a SUPER SAMOAN DROP!! And then, A-NIA-LATOR!! Cover, Nia wins!!

Winner: Nia Jax, by pinfall (still WWE Women’s Champion)

It took a lot of factors in this one, but again, a win is a win! But then Candice and Tiff are adding on with stomps to Naomi! They stand tall with their Queen of the Ring, will nothing stop this twisted trio from running SmackDown?

 

The OG Bloodline regroups.

Roman Reigns sits in his armchair, but he also looks at his phone. Jey said to make “the call.” But to who? Roman says, “Call… The Wiseman.” Roman is ready to talk to Paul Heyman again! But then the phone responds, “The number you have reached is not in service.” What?! Heyman changed his number? Is the OG Bloodline truly without hope?


My Thoughts:

A great SmackDown, really jampacked with action that also moved stories along. There was still promo stuff, of course, such as Cody Rhodes arguing with Nick Aldis to get at Kevin Owens. You’ve got to appreciate Cody bringing up all the same wrestler tropes Randy Orton and Triple H had in their feuds. And good response from Kevin in his car, and their confrontation next Friday could definitely become a brawl that then sets up Cody VS Kevin Part 2, some kind of No Disqualification match at Survivor Series. They can even make it a wild opener to get the energy going for the night.

Great stuff with the Men’s United States Championship, with Knight putting Legado Del Fantasma in their place both physically and verbally. Berto got a good showing but of course Knight won. Nakamura making his return here was great stuff, and this new, darker persona for him is already working just on looks. Now, it’d be a shame if Nakamura were to lose here, but the custom strap on Knight’s title only just happened so I can’t be sure of Nakamura’s chances. Maybe Nakamura and Knight have a back and forth of matches before Knight drops the belt at like Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Speaking of which, that’s a great place for this Women’s US Championship story to culminate. Great Triple Threat match with B-Fab looking good even in the loss. B-Fab also had a good promo with Chelsea, Piper and Michin to hype up the rest of the opening round. All Triple Threats makes it so we could get some “unlikely” winners, like Piper helping Chelsea win over only for Piper to not make it out of her own. At the same time, it’d be a shame for Blair Davenport to return and not get anything. But there are a lot of great combinations possible through this tournament, can’t wait to see who wins it all.

And we got great integration of all the women’s division stories as we head for Survivor Series. Liv & Raquel attacking Bianca & Jade, Tiff & Candice screwing Naomi over while beating up Bayley, we have our Women’s WarGames all set right there, just as I knew since Monday. Bayley distrusting Iyo but Bianca distrusting Bayley, it’ll be pretty clear the Heel team wins, especially given what we’ll get in the Men’s WarGames. But first, great stuff in the tag title match and story as Ciampa “ruins” it all and even gets mad at Gargano. Profits are also going Heel in their own way as they don’t care for any of the other teams.

To keep things fresh while using the same contenders, I feel like Profits, DIY and MCMG need to have something more like an Elimination Triple Threat. There was already the ladder match with Tama & Loa, so they can’t just do that again so soon. Given of how popular and how talented all these teams are, maybe they can even come up with something new just for this, to really make it feel special. At the same time, it feels like DIY is about to fall apart with Ciampa going Heel and not happy with Gargano not going Heel with him here. Then Gargano and Ciampa can feud as they both build up to be singles title contenders.

And of course, great stuff with The Bloodline story. LA Knight was definitely gonna say NAH NAH to joining The Bloodline story, Sami talking to him seemed more like an excuse to give us the US Championship segment. At the start of the night, it seemed like Roman was still stuck in his ways, sitting in the big chair without really caring what the others were doing. Great brawl with Solo’s Bloodline, some real wild stuff, and with Seth Rollins being asked on Raw, Bronson Reed joining this story on Solo’s side oddly makes sense. For one, it’ll get Rollins to join in on OG Bloodline’s side so he can get at Bronson, which will probably be discussed on Raw.

Secondly, Bronson Reed is Samoan Australian, and all Solo needs to have someone on the team is that they’re mean and Polynesian. As if Jacob Fatu wasn’t dangerous, Bronson really brought the chaos and the destruction to the OG Bloodline, so that really puts the pressure on the OG Bloodline. And then what a great double tease: they give us Roman calling Heyman, which got the crowd fired up, only to have the automated message and number not in service that brought us all down. Roman certainly sold his defeated look, but Heyman’s return will be an awesome moment. Especially if Heyman’s the one who brings someone to the team that can tip the scales back in the OG Bloodline’s favor.

My Score: 8.9/10

MJF is here!

Phoenix is a bit torn over the Scumbag opening the night, but he and the Cowboy are set to have their face to face, with a strict No Physicality Order in effect. As such, Hangman Page makes his entrance next. The fans are ready for some #CowboyS*it as the two stare down from opposite corners. MJF throws his gum at the fans, which they boo, and then he grabs himself a mic. “I don’t speak Poor, I’m talking, thanks. The year was 2019. The first-ever event in the history of this event was Double Or Nothing. The first match in the history of this company was the Casino Battle Royal. The winner would have the opportunity to go on and become the inaugural world champion.

“I had the match won. It was the biggest opportunity of my life, and you screwed me. You cheap shotted me like a gutless little worm. So you know what I did? I had to scratch and claw my way back to the top. And I did so by beating some of the biggest names professional wrestling has to offer. Think of your favorite wrestler; yeah, I beat ’em! Though, looking down at my beautiful~ Dynamite Diamond Ring, I’m struggling to remember who I beat the first time I won this bad boy. Oh, that’s right, it was you. I then proceeded to go on to become a six-time Dynamite Diamond Ring Champion.

“I main evented, headlined and won the biggest wrestling event of all time in Wembley Stadium. I am a former International Champion, the best and longest reigning AEW World Champion of all time, the greatest wrestler on God’s green Earth, and do you know why, Hangman?” Fans tell MJF to STFU but MJF says it’s because he’s Maxwell Jacob Friedman, and he’s better than you, and you know it. MJF smiles and soaks up the heat from Phoenix, but then Hangman takes his turn. Why is MJF talking like Hangman doesn’t know who he is? Hangman knows exactly who MJF is and what MJF has done.

MJF is 28 years old, and already has a history making wrestling career. Hangman will give MJF that, and MJF should be proud of himself. But when MJF listed all of his accomplishments, he sounded angry about them. All of that, and MJF can’t be happy. Is it because there’s something that MJF still hasn’t been able to win… from the fans? MJF tells Hangman to shut his mouth! MJF calms down, and says no, you think he cares about the fans? He doesn’t give a damn about them! The fans boo but MJF tells them to shut up! MJF thinks it’s funny that the hypocrites who is redeemable and who is not.

Hangman has had everything handed to him on a silver platter, because these shmucks woke up and just decided Hangman’s the main character? The fans cheer that! Really? A guy who drank another man’s blood? A guy who attacked innocent veterans in the locker room? A guy who stabbed a syringe through another human’s face? The guy who was low down and vile enough to burn another man’s house down to ashes? Yet HE is the good guy!? MJF mocks the cheering, and says yay~, Hangman’s the hero! Just ask the fans! To them, Hangman did nothing wrong. But these morons will chant Cowboy S*it at the top of their lungs… Oh, and there they go!

Do you feel that, Hangman? Do you feel all warm and fuzzy? Everyone loves Hangman Adam Page! But MJF has a question for him: After everything Hangman has done… Does Hangman love Hangman? Did Hangman love himself after ending the career of his mentor, Christopher Daniels? After he absolutely demolished that worthless, talentless, jobber hack? Hangman tells MJF, “Don’t you dare! Don’t you DARE! Christopher Daniels is ten times the man that you will ever be! And if I could rip out my spine and give it to him, I would do it in a heartbeat!” The fans cheer that!

Hangman says Daniels’ 32 year career, flew 100 times around the globe, and if there’s a wrestling company that mattered in their lifetime, Daniels gave a part of his life to it! He went down fighting! Fighting for his life! Daniels died a warrior’s death! Hangman knows CD, and he knows Daniels would not have had it any other way. The fans cheer that, too. Daniels took care of pro-wrestling, even when pro-wrestling didn’t take care of him. Daniels is the best of us. And men and women like Daniels is why MJF and Hangman are even in this ring, don’t you ever forget that. The fans cheer that, and they chant for “FALLEN ANGEL!”

MJF scoffs at that, but Hangman says that selflessness, self-awareness and humility of Daniels that MJF doesn’t understand. MJF doesn’t have the stomach for it. If MJF’s career ended tonight, and if he doesn’t wipe that s*it eating grin off his face, it just might… But if MJF’s career ended tonight, what would the fans say about him? Would they say MJF is a credit to their sport? To this world? Or would they say he was an opportunist and a selfish coward? A man who took every shortcut he could, chasing all the power and glory that he thought would win their admiration.

MJF asked why, after everything Hangman has done, the people care about him. Hangman will not be as arrogant to say he understands it, or to put words in their mouths, but he will speak for himself. Hangman knows what is right, he knows what is wrong, and he tells the truth about it. In five years, he’s probably lied 100 times, but never once has he lied to the fans! And if Hangman has had a problem, he has faced it head on eye-to-eye. He didn’t run from it, didn’t hide it, and everything he has had, he worked for. The AEW Tag titles, the AEW World title, and a family that through all of this stood by him unconditionally! Believe him, it was not easy!

MJF has spent five years cheating, scheming his way to the top, and anyone that stood in his way, he told them he was better than them. And Hangman hopes that for once, for MJF’s own sake, there is a small part of him that is wondering, “Is it true?” Because it’s not. Deep down, Hangman thinks MJF knows that. MJF seethes, then smirks, then laughs. MJF asks, “Are you a child?” Oh, sowwy Hangman, sowwy fans, did he not win fairsy-squarsy on his way to the top? Oh no~! Hey, newsflash, dips*its, the history books don’t give a damn how you get the job done. MJF earned everything. Can’t say the same for Hangman.

Because whether Hangman cares to admit it or not, before the doors of this company even opened, the powers at be decided they were going to prop Hangman up. He was their golden boy, their chosen one. Hangman walked in at 2019 with all the buzz and propaganda in the world. Wanna know what MJF came in with? All MJF needed was a scarf and a mic! Hangman has earned NOTHING! MJF walks better, talks better, looks better, dresses better, and IS better! Name one thing Hangman does better than MJF. NAME IT! Hangman says, “I am real.” The fans cheer that, and the mics drop. They’re face to face, but they have to remember the No Physicality Order.

MJF looks to the fans, then he says Hangman can be the main character all he wants. MJF has no problem being the bad guy. Another mic drop, and then the jackets come off! Security hurries up to the apron to tell them remember the order. Hangman dares MJF to do something, but MJF stands down. But then he SPITS at Hangman! The fans boo as we see the saliva hanging from Hangman’s hair…! Hangman bolts at MJF but MJF bolts outta the ring! MJF smirks, having turned his level headed choice into a cowardly move. Hangman DECKS security guard after security guard, then hammers away on one poor soul!

Someone pulls Hangman back, and Hangman almost swings on them, until he sees it’s Christopher Daniels! Hangman calms down, and Daniels tells Hangman this is what he was fighting for this whole time. Hangman knows who he is, so don’t listen to MJF. Understood? Hangman nods, and he heads out. When and where will The Cowboy get his hands on the Devil of AEW?

 

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.

Renee Paquette is with Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong, and notes Roddy is in the Revolution International Championship Series, facing Orange Cassidy. With the PPV around the corner, how does he expect this to shake out? Roddy shouts “ORRRANGE! Cassidy. Man, I feel like we’re gonna do this forever. We are destined to dance forever. And I get it, you’re friends with my pal over here, Mr. Kyle O’Reilly. But that’s not gonna stop me from destroying you tonight, going on to next week to beat Takeshita, and going on to Revolution to defeat Kenny Omega.”

Renee brings up the conflict of interest for Kyle with The Conglomeration, but Kyle says The Conglomeration is not so much a stable as it is a lifestyle. They love to hang, they love to conglomerate, and yeah, Orange is Kyle’s boy. But Roddy’s gonna have to break that back. Cole adds that regardless of who is friends with who, Roddy whoops Orange’s ass. And that is Undisputed. The Kingdom is ready, but will they run the Revolution? Or will things be Freshly Squeezed here tonight?

 

Six Man Tag: The Patriarchy VS The Opps!

Christian Cage has been avoiding this fight, but now he has no choice to stand alongside his “sons,” Nick Wayne & Kip Sabian against the opposition. Will Captain Charisma, The Prodigy & Mr. Superbad survive Samoa Joe, Hook & Katsuyori Shibata? Or will this be the end of The Patriarchy?

Dynamite returns and The Opps make their entrance. They’re #NeverLacking, and they even get pyro! The fans cheer, the trios sort out, and Shibata starts with Kip. The bell rings, the fans rally up, and Shibata feels things out with Kip. They knuckle lock, Kip kicks low, then Kip wrenches to a wristlock. Shibata wrenches back and he has the wristlock. Kip rolls, kips up, but Shibata trips him to a top wristlock. Kip keeps his shoulders up, fights to his feet, then slips through to hammerlock. Shibata switches that onto Kip, but Kip switches and kicks low. Kip headlocks, Shibata powers up and out, but Kip RAMS Shibata.

Shibata brushes himself off, but Kip headlocks. Shibata powers up and out, then kitchen sink knees! The fans cheer while Shibata drags Kip up. Tag to Joe, the fans really fire up, and they stand Kip on the ropes to CHOP, CHPO, and CHOP! DOUBLE MACHINE GUN CHOPS! They double whip, then trip Kip, and then Joe SENTONS! Kip sputters, Nick runs in, but Shibata trips him! And Joe SENTONS! The fans cheer, Christian is worried, but Kip tags him in! Christian steps in, stares Joe down, but then quickly tags out to Nick! Some father figure… Joe snatches Nick and bumps him off buckles! Joe CHOPS Nick, but Shibata keeps Nick standing.

Joe CHOPS again, and the fans fire up! Joe winds up to CHOP again! Tag to Shibata and he drags Nick up, for a CHOP! Nick tries to get away but Shibata puts him back in the corner. Shibata CHOPS Nick again, and again! Tag to Hook and the fans cheer again. Nick freaks out but Hook CHOPS! And CHOPS! Nick falls, Hook tags Shibata back in, and Shibata drags Nick up to snapmare. Shibata chinlocks and he squeezes tight. Then he KICKS Nick in the back, runs, but Mother Wayne distracts the ref. Christian gets a cheap shot in! Shibata DECKS him for it! Kip DECKS Shibata, Nick BLASTS Hook, and Nick hauls Shibata up.

Nick snap suplexes, covers, TWO! Mother Shayna coaches her son, and Nick ROCKS Shibata with a haymaker. Shibata drops to a knee, Nick stays on him, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Nick brings Shibata over, tags Kip, and they mug Shibata. Kip snapmares Shibata, KNEES him in the back, then clamps onto the arms. Shibata endures, so Kip KNEES him again. Kip pulls on the arms in a motorcycle stretch, but Shibata still endures. Shibata fights up, powers around, but Kip snapmares him to rain down forearms! Kip cradles for the cover, TWO! Kip KICKS Shibata int he back, brings him up, but Shibata snap suplexes first! And then he KICKS Kip! Shibata brings Kip up, but Kip CLAWS Shibata’s eyes! Kip bumps Shibata off buckles, tags Christian, and Christian fires hands on Shibata.

Christian CHOPS, ROCKS, and repeat, then stomps Shibata down. Christian rains down more fists, then lets off as the ref counts. Christian snapmares Shibata, flexes, then ELBOWS Shibata int he head. Christian CLAWS Shibata’s eyes, pushes him down, steps on Shibata’s face, then tags Nick. They mug Shibata, then Nick puts Shibata on the ropes. Nick CHOPS, then wrenches Shibata for a BIG back suplex! Cover, TWO! Nick brings Shibata up, brings him back to the corner, tag to Kip. They mug Shibata some more, then Kip fires forearms. Shibata DECKS Kip! Shibata kicks Kip, Kip RAMS Shibata into the corner, and Chfristian tags in.

Christian & Kip mug Shibata, then Christian puts Shibata on the apron. Chrihstian pulls Shibata through the ropes, CHOKES him, then stops to DUMP Shibata back in. Cover, TWO! Christian hurries to tag Nick back in, the mugging continues, and Nick swaggers around. Nick stands Shibata up, ROCKS him with a left, then puts him in a corner. Nick fires haymakers and body shots, then Dynamite returns to single picture. Tag to Kip, they double whip Shibata, but Shibata SPEARS Kip! Nick runs up, Shibata hits an ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up while Shibata crawls, but Kip CLOBBERS him! The fans boo but Kip rains down fists!

Kip drags Shibata up, he and Nick double whip again, but Shibata grabs ropes. Shibata BOOTS Kip, then BOOTS Nick! Shibata WRECKS Kip with a dropkick, then tag to Hook! Hook LARIATS Nick, LARIATS Kip, then gets Kip for a T-BONE PLEX! Christian runs up, into a T-BONE PLX! Hook LARIATS Christian up and out! Hook LARIATS Nick in a corner, then NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Hook stands Nick up, but Nick fights the exploder! The fans rally for Hook but Nick hooks a leg! FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Shibata BOOTS Nick! Kip MISSILE DROPKICKS Shibata! Joe LARIATS Kip!

Christian aims, runs up, but Joe fireman’s carries Christian! Christian slips free, hooks the arms, but Joe TOSSES him up and out! Joe then DIVES! Direct hit into Christian and the fans are thunderous! Hook has Nick in a corner, but Nick goes up an dover to victory roll, and holds ropes! TWO!! Hook escapes but Nick ROUNDHOUSES, then goes up, up, and WAYNE’S- REDRUM!! Hook as Nick, Shibata has Kip, Joe scares Christian away! The father lets his sons suffer, Nick is OUT! The Opps win!

Winners: The Opps, by submission

Joe, Shibata and Hook stand tall while Christian clings to his Casino Gauntlet contract. Will the AEW World Championship be all that matters to The Patriarch?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Revolution!

After everything said and done between them, MJF and Hangman Page will have their grudge match! Who will win in this Battle Los Angeles?

 

Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.

Renee is with the ROH World Champion and brings up how Jericho vowed to show Bryan Keith how it was done. He went to confront Bandido, but uh, did he accomplish what he set out to do given he just got pinned by Bandido at ROH Global Wars? Jericho says Renee should wipe that smirk off her face. What makes her think she can talk to Jericho like that? Renee isn’t sure what he’s getting at, but Jericho asks what makes her think he can’t have her thrown out of the building? He can, y’know! If not for him, Renee wouldn’t have a job. No one in AEW would have a job if not for him!

The truth is: No Chris Jericho, no AEW! That is a fact, not pro-wrestling rhetoric! Yet instead of getting treated with respect like the living legend he is, he gets nothing but vitriol and disrespect. Why is that? Is he too nice? Maybe the Learning Tree needs to give a history lesson. Jericho is The Nueve, that means nine in Spanish. As in a nine-time world champion, in multiple companies and multiple countries. Jericho is the guy walking down the street in Brisbane just a few days ago, and fans were asking to take pictures. Then Bandido is the guy you hand the camera to so he can take their picture.

Jericho tells Bandido got his biggest win ever, congrats. Jericho will give Bandido his chance at the ROH World Championship this Saturday on Collision. The bounty no longer means anything. Bandido gets his chance to beat Jericho, but Jericho gets his chance to prove that everyone is too comfortable around Chris EFFIN’ Jericho! Jericho storms off, but will he regret gambling with The Most Wanted?

 

Street Fight: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS “Big Bill” Morrissey!

Speaking of grudge matches, these two have gone back and forth with their brawling! They’ve fought backstage, fought in the parking lot, and even took this fight to Australia over the weekend with Global Wars! But it’s gotta end somehow! Will the Book of Hobbs’s next chapter have him chopping down a Redwood? Or will the skyscraper from New York stand tall over the Powerhouse from California?

Hobbs makes his entrance first, then he storms up on Bill during his entrance, only for Bill to BOOT him from over the top rope! The bell rings, fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” and Bill storms out after Hobbs. Bill CLUBS away on Hobbs, then brings him into the crowd! Hobbs fires a body shot, sends him into a guard rail, then takes a fan’s beer can to SMASH Bill in the face! Bill ELBOWS back, UPPERCUTS, then UPPERCUTS again! Bill HAMMERS away on Hobbs, then talks smack on the fans. Bill ROCKS Hobbs, but Hobbs ROCKS Bill! The haymakers go back and forth, and Hobbs brings Bill around to CLUB away!

The fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” again, and Hobbs pushes Bill to ringside. Hobbs LARIATS Bill over railing! The fans fire up, Hobbs high-fives a few, then he goes to get Bill on his feet. Hobbs RAMS Bill into railing, revels in the M”EAT! MEAT! MEAT!” and then runs up to CLOBBER Bill! Bill slumps over the railing, but Hobbs gets space. Hobbs runs in, but Bill CHUCKS a sound mixer!? Hobbs falls, clutching his leg, but Bill takes the keyboard to SMACK Hobbs on the back! Fans chant “OVER HERE! OVER HERE!” in hopes the action heads their way. Bill goes looking under the ring, and he brings out a monkey wrench!?

Bill winds up, but Hobbs dodges! Wrench hits steel steps, but Bill takes aim again. Hobbs dodges and the wrench hits railing! Bill still tries, but Hobbs ducks and the wrench hits POST! That’s strike three and Bill is disarmed of the wrench! Hobbs grabs a chair to JAM Bill up! And SMACK him on the back! Now that was a base hit! The fans want more, so Hobbs SMACKS Bill again! The fans fire up and Hobbs brings Bill up. But Bill CRAKS Hobbs with the monkey wrench!! Bill gets his own base hit, the ref has a standing count on Hobbs, but the fans want tables. Bill tells them STFU and shove it! The fans boo but Hobbs is up at 9.5 of 10!

Bill brings steel steps around, then he goes back for Hobbs. Hobbs is busted open, but Bill BOOTS him right back down! Bill drags Hobbs over, then CHOKE SLAMS him on the steel steps! Hobbs sputters, the fans boo, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Bill enjoys seeing Hobbs’s blood on him, and even uses it like lipstick! Bill swaggers like Jagger, tells the fans to shove it, then Bryan Keith appears! Keith and Bill high-five, then they work together to haul the other steel steps around. They get it onto the stage, then they bring out more plunder from under the ring. Oh, look! A table! They set that in the ring while Hobbs sputters to his feet. Dynamite returns to single picture while Bill sets up the table. The fans rally for Hobbs as he leans against the apron. Bill stands the table up in a corner, but Hobbs drags himself into the ring. Hobbs has the trash can, and he SMASHES it on Bill’s face!

The fans fire up as Hobbs winds up again, and he SMASHES Bill again! Bill flounders, Hobbs rips his shirt away, and the fans fire up for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs storms up on Bill, scoops him, but Keith is in! Hobbs drops Bill to PUNCH the chair! Keith panics, apologizes, but Hobbs CHOKE SLAMS him through the table! The fans fire up again, but Bill BOOTS Hobbs again! Hobbs tumbles to the ramp, Bill goes out after him, and fans chant “MEAT FOREVER!” Hobbs scoops Bill!? And POWERSLAMS him on the ramp! Hobbs then looks around, and he finds Bill’s backpack. Hobbs CLOBBERS Bill with the backpack!

Hobbs grins, and he dumps out the BRICKS that were inside! Hobbs then stalks Bill to the stage, where Bill put the steel steps! Hobbs ROCKS Bill with a right, ROCKS him again, and Bill is also busted open! The fans fire up as Hobbs fires off punch after punch! Hobbs stands Bill up to ROCK him, but Bill UPPERCUTS! Hobbs ROCKS Bill, Bill UPPERCUTS Hobbs, repeat! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs wobbles, but he kicks low! Hobbs brings Bill over, SMACKS him off the steel steps, and then DRIBBLES him off it! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs winds up to SMACK Bill off the steps again!

The fans are thunderous as Hobbs goes up the steps, and he drags Bill up to join him! Hobbs pops Bill up, to  SPINEBUSTER down through barbed-wire tables!! The fans are thunderous and losing their mind! The count begins, Bill is still down at 5, just struggling to get out of the barbed wire! We hit TEN, Hobbs wins!!

Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by TKO

The fans cheer as Hobbs is the Last Big Meaty Man Standing! Will this vindication be more than enough for the Book of Hobbs to turn the page?

Renee is now with The Don Callis Family’s Murder Machines, and brings up how they upstaged the Hurt Syndicate last week. That was a rather bold statement. Brian says yeah, bold indeed. But take a look at them! It is easy for them to do! The Murderhawk and The Machine have something to say, because they have business with the Hurt Syndicate. But big surprise, they’re nowhere to be found. Archer says word is, Hurt Syndicate will be at Collision. So if they wanna put on their big boy pants, the Hurt Syndicate can talk with the Murder Machines about those AEW World Tag Team Championships.

But in the end, Cage & Archer will take them, and #EverybodyDies. Then will MVP, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin accept the challenge this close to Revolution?

 

BREAKING NEWS for AEW in Phoenix!

Phoenix’s own Justin Roberts tells the fans here that if they hadn’t heard, AEW will be returning to Phoenix very soon, and with a PPV! AEW is going Double Or Nothing in Arizona on May 25th, 2025!

 

Toni Storm is here!

Phoenix fires up as AEW is once again Timeless! For once again, and for a historic FOURTH time, Toni Storm is the NEW AEW Women’s World Champion! Luther helps Toni into the ring, and Toni grabs herself a mic. The spotlight is on her as the fans chant her name. Toni smiles, and says, “This whore you all adore… This slut you can’t rebut… This tramp is your NEW CHAMP!” The fans cheer again, and Toni continues. “On the other side of the world, in front of friends, family and former lovers, I faced the Woman From Hell. A woman… who broke my heart, took my title, and ruined my soul. Mariah May, you SICK B*TCH!”

But Mariah, Toni says she is also so proud of her. Because Mariah gave Toni the fight of her life, and then Toni won with her Small Package. “They say the best things come in small packages, but darling, you should’ve won protection, because I railed you with the biggest package there’s ever been!” Toni says Mariah has been defeated, exiled, and compromised to a permanent end. And now, it is time for a cheap plug. Toni stars in the new film, Queen of the Ring, in theaters starting March 7th, do enjoy. The fans cheer that! As for the championship, if Toni is going to be the best, then she needs to face the best.

Toni says women of wrestling, lend her your ears. Because whether you are here just to stick your chin up, your tits out, or you’re someone like Kris Statlander, Willow Nightingale, or even Wendy bloody Richter… If you want to go face to face, tit to tit or even lip to lip, Toni is not hard to find, darling! “For God is a woman, and her name… is TIMELESS~…!” Toni drops the mic, picks up the belt, and takes a bow. The fans all cheer, Toni blows a kiss, and fade to black. Who will answer this call and come for Toni Storm’s gold?

 

Gabe Kidd is coming to Collision!

That’s right! This Saturday on TNT, witness The Mad Man bring Strong Style to AEW! Who will be as #WarReady as this War Dog?

 

Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.

AEW returns as Renee is now with The Babe with the Power, and as Renee starts to bring up last week, Willow speaks up. She got one minute of precious TV time, and Renee’s husband of all people interrupts to have Marina attack her. Willow’s 2025 is already off to a terrible start. Willow tells Moxley, Marina, and the Death Riders that she is- OH WAIT, here comes Marina! Willow and Marina brawl, but Marina uses the briefcase on her! And then she send Willow into a road case, then KICKS her down! Moxley steps in and tells the cameraman to follow him. Things head to the stage, and the fans are torn as Moxley grabs a mic.

Moxley goes to the ring, Marina, Yuta and Claudio in tow, and Moxley tells Phoenix he’s gonna ask a question. “Do you know just who in the hell I am?” The fans certainly do, but Moxley says he’s the champion of the world, that’s who! That means this is his mic, that’s his camera, this is his ring, this is his arena, and you’re sitting in his seats! So nobody comes into his house and lays down some challenge to him like they’re somebody! He doesn’t care even if it’s the Rated R Superstar! And he’ll tell ya, Adam Copeland is NOT here! He’s still on his ass in Australia, facedown in the dirt! Cope made a challenge, but Moxley about popped Cope’s head off his shoulders with his bare hands!

So if Cope shows up at Revolution, Moxley will finish the job! WAIT! Jay White is here! The Switchblade storms out and tells Moxley to hush. White sees it is 4v1, but wait! The Bastard slither sin from the shadows! White says fine, more the merrier! But wait! COPE IS HERE!? Moxley is a bit surprised, but he figures he’ll still keep his promise. Except Cope slithers in from the crowd side! Cope CLUBS Moxley down then HAMMERS away! The Death Riders are stunned, White gets Pac for a BLADERUNNER to the stage! Cope fights off Yuta and Claudio, then SPEARS Yuta! Claudio has Cope, but Cope shoves free!

White is there to clinch Claudio, BLADERUNNER into the SPEAR!! So is that a Spear Runner? Cope then finds SPIKE! She didn’t make the trip to Brisbane, but she’s here in Phoenix! White also gets a chair, and Cope takes a swing! Moxley and Marina run away, get into the crowd, but Cope pursues! Will Cope chase Moxley all the way to LA? Cope grabs a mic, and he shouts for Moxley! “This isn’t your arena. These aren’t your seats. These aren’t your people! They’re MY people!” The fans cheer that! Cope tells Moxley that he’s probably halfway to the hotel, hostel, or whatever bridge he lives under. But he knows Mox will see this.

Mox is a COWARD! No nuts, no guts, no spine! He needs his goons, but guess what? As of now, Cope takes them out one by one by one! When we get to Revolution, it will be man to man, and Cope will kick Moxley’s ass! The fans are ready, will the Road to Revolution be nothing but Rated R?

 

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.

Renee welcomes in The CEO, and Mone says, “Phoeniiiix~! Say hello to your C E O! It feels so good, Renee. And Renee, I don’t want any interruptions, no surprises, and no damn puppets, you hear me?” Renee says of course, no puppets. Just congratulations for the great win at Grand Slam Australia. This makes Mone 14-0 as a TBS Champion, and it feels like there is no stopping the Money Train. Mone agrees, there IS no stopping the Money Train. And Harley learned first hand that there is a price to pay when you mess with Mercedes Mone. Then being just over two weeks away from Revolution, Momo Watanabe gave some comments in Australia.

Footage plays and Lexy Nair interviewed Momo Watanabe to bring up how she won the International Women’s Cup. That means Momo can challenge any Women’s Champion she wants from CMLL, Stardom, ROH and AEW. Momo was clearly scouting competition, has she made a decision? Yes, Momo has chosen Mone and the TBS Championship. She will see Mone at Revolution to put a stop to the Money Train. Mone asks what the hell!? She just said no surprises! But if Momo wants to face Mone for the title, then show up to Dynamite next week and say that to her face! Mone has answered a challenge with a challenge, will The Dark Peach oblige?

 

Kris Statlander VS Megan Bayne!

The #BornAgainKristen may have just crossed paths with her physical equal in The Megasus. Tall, strong, ready to get the action on, will Kris show Megan she’s still The Galaxy’s Greatest? Or will Kris be made to bow down?

The bell rings and the fans rally up. Kris and Megan step up to be face to face, then they slowly circle. They tie up, go around, and Megan puts Kris on ropes. They go along ropes, Megan again has control, but she lets off slowly. Then she ROCKS Kris with a forearm! Megan runs, Kris follows, and Kris RAMS Megan! Megan doesn’t budge, so Kris dares her to do that. Megan runs, RAMS Kris, but Kris stays up. Kris brushes herself off, Megan dares her to go, so Kris runs. Megan kicks low, runs, and she runs Kris over! But Kris is right up! The fans cheer, and Kris ROCKS Megan! Megan avoids the leg sweep to BOOT Kris!

Kris avoids a senton to somersault SENTON, then STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Kris keeps moving, and she basement DROPKICKS! Megan staggers, Kris CHOPS, and CHPOS, and CHOPS! Kris climbs up, rains down fists, but Megan brings her off the corner at 5! Kris fights free, but Megan ducks the roundhouse! Kris avoids the boot and ROUNDHOUSES after all! Megan staggers, the fans fire up, and kris runs at the corner. Kris blocks a boot, uses that to get under Megan for an Electric Chair, but Megan fights free. Megan sends Kris into the corner, runs up, but Kris dodges! Kris goes corner to corner, but Megan SPEARS!

The fans fire up while Megan stands back up, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Megan revels in the cheers and jeers, then drags Kris up. Megan bumps Kris off buckles, then RAMS into her again and again! The ref counts, Megan lets off, then she stalks Kris along the ropes. Megan pushes Kris into a corner, then CHOPS her! Megan whips Kris corner to corner, runs corner to corner, and SPLASHES! Megan then underhooks to BUTTTERFLY SUPLEX! Kris flounders, Megan stalks her to ropes, and Megan drags Kris back for a cocky cover. TWO, but Megan stays cool. Megan waistlocks for a REAR BEARHUG! Kris endures, fights up, and pries at the hold. Kris elbows again and again until she’s finally free.

Kris runs, but Megan clinches! OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Kris flounders away, and Megan storms up on Kris. Megan stands Kris up, then clinches, another OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Kris flounders, Megan stalks her, and Megan stands Kris up again. Megan short arm LARIATS, then drags Kris up again. Another short arm LARIAT! And another short arm LARIAT! Megan CLUBS Kris, has her in a drop zone, then goes up the corner. But Kris ROCKS her first! Kris goes up to SUPERPLEX! And roll through! But Megan hits the FALCON ARROW! Both women are down, but they’re still in this as Dynamite returns to single picture.

Megan and Kris rise up, and they throw hands! Kris and Megan DOUBLE LARIAT, then DOUBLE LARIAT again! They both roar, and DOUBLE LARIAT again! Kris kicks a leg out, then runs, but Megan BOOTS her first! Megan runs, but Kris DISCUS LARIATS! The fans fire up and Kris suplexes, GOURD BUSTER! Kris runs to SCISSOR KICK! Cover, TWO! Megan survives and Kris seethes but the fans fire up. Kris storms up on Megan, brings her around, and gut wrenches! Megan slips free, then ROCKS Kris! Megan waistlocks to deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up again while Kris goes to the apron.

Megan storms out after Kris, brings her up, and fires a forearm! And another! And another, another, another! Megan winds up, but Kris ducks that to APRON BACK SUPLEX! The fans are thunderous as Kris pushesget Megan in. Kris fires herself up, but Megan rises?! And she goes up the ropes to DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX Kris!! Megan roars, hauls Kris up to the top rope, and she CHOPS! Megan climbs, she and Kris brawl, and Kris gest the edge! Kris ROCKS Megan and Megan falls! Kris adjusts her position, but Megan distracts the ref while Penelope Ford rushes out here! Ford SHOVES Kris off the top!

The fans boo the Superbad Girl as she hides under the apron! Megan fireman’s carries, “BOW! DOWN!” F5!! Cover, Megan wins!

Winner: Megan Bayne, by pinfall

Just as Megan helped Ford with Thunder Rosa, Ford just helped Megan with Kris! Ford rains down fists on Kris while the fans boo more! But here comes Rosa! And she has a chair! La Mera Mera wants after them but Megan & Ford get in her face first! Ford and Rosa fight over the chair, but the ref steps in to settle this down. Megan & Ford leave, Rosa TOSSES the chair at them, will these four settle things soon enough?

 

Backstage interview with Max Caster.

Renee is now with Platinum Max and brings up his series of open challenges. He is 0-2, is he starting to reconsider his strategy? No, Renee, he is not. The strategy isn’t the problem, it’s how “Hangperson” was chasing him around the arena. That’s not what the open challenge is about. It’s about going eye to eye with the Best Wrestler Alive! And look into his eyes. He’ll tell you this right now, the open challenge will continue this Saturday on Collision, and he expects whoever answers to look him in the eyes, shake his hand, and get beat! Because Caster will prove to him and everyone else that you can’t be better than the best.

Renee wishes Caster luck, Caster thanks her and shows off his certificate. But just who will answer when Caster puts out the call?

 

Ricochet is here!

And he’s still wearing the stolen robe that belongs to Prince Nana. Phoenix boos the One & Only, but he grabs the mic to say, “Really? That’s what we gonna do? That’s how we gonna act, huh? Y’know what? That’s okay, because I would be angry and bitter, too, if I had to live in Phoenix, Arizona. It’s basically a poor man’s Las Vegas.” The fans boo but Ricochet says lucky for him, he has a helicopter waiting to lift him outta here when he’s finished. Because much like Kevin Durant, Ricochet is trying to get outta this boring ass town ASAP! The fans boo more, but Ricochet says fine, “You do you.” Ricochet will do Ricochet.

Because since the fans are acting like ungrateful animals, Ricochet will speak directly to the people at home. He knows they can hear him loud and clear, huh? Yes you can! But he needs them to understand that all the fans, all the booing, it doesn’t matter! None if it does! Because when you boo a winner, you boo into a void of nothing, and baybeh, Ricochet is nothing but a winner! Ricochet proved it two weeks ago when he pinned Swerve to the mat, 1-2-3! But in reality, Ricochet has been proving it from the moment he stepped foot in AEW! Let’s be real, Ricochet has been whooping the asses of all the favorites!

Ricochet whooped Swerve’s ass, Ospreay’s ass, Darby Allin’s ass, Komander’s ass! The fans chant for Swerve’s House, but Ricochet says that everyone here and plenty of you at home will never understand is that winners always have something to show for it. And oh does Ricochet have something to show for all of his success! Ricochet models the Embassy’s robe, the fans boo more, but Ricochet says check this. He is not content to just wear this. No, he came to AEW to wear championships. Ricochet will not be just another name on the roster! Ricochet will be the main name on this roster! He came to win, and more importantly, he came to win gold.

Ricochet says that is where his sights are set for 2025. He wants to be a champion here in AEW! Oh, wait, wait, let’s correct that. Ricochet will be a champion in AEW, because he’s too good looking not to be. But wait! Swerve is here! Phoenix fires up as Nana walks out first, sips his coffee, then shakes his head. Ricochet looks around, surely the Realest is lurking. Nana gets in the ring first, though, and has his own mic. Nana tells Ricochet he knows what he’s thinking. But this isn’t that. Nana wanted to take this time to talk to Ricochet one on one, so Swerve isn’t here right now. Nana knows they’ve been beefing these last couple of months, and he isn’t sure where that is going.

But one thing that Nana does know is that Ricochet is wearing something that doesn’t belong to him. Three DECADES, Nana has been in this business. In the ring, outside the ring, closing major deals, making champions, and heck, making history! And that robe has a lot to do with it. That robe right there represents pride, represents integrity, and represents those that Nana has walked through, and that we’ve lost. But one thing about that robe is that anyone who is wearing it has honor. Anyone that wears it has been bestowed the opportunity to be great. And Nana never gave Ricochet that opportunity.

Ricochet, honestly, if you’re still that happy-go-lucky guy, that winner that he always says he is, that humane individual, then just give the robe back. The fans chant “GIVE IT BACK! GIVE IT BACK!” Ricochet says Nana wants the robe back, is that all? Yeah, okay, sure. Take it from him. Ricochet stares Nana down, but then he asks what’s wrong. Is Nana gonna cry? That’s okay, we all have emotions. Nana ain’t getting the robe back. AHA~! Ricochet leaves, and Nana shakes his head. Nana tried doing this with diplomacy, will he have no choice but to let Swerve do things his way?

 

Revolution International Championship Series: Orange Cassidy VS Roderick Strong w/ The Undisputed Kingdom!

After Kenny Omega & Will Ospreay defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher at Grand Slam: Australia, The Cleaner made it clear that he wants The Alpha 1v1, the title on the line.

Cassidy fights up, but Roddy wrangles him back to the mat. Cassidy fights back up, reaches out, and he SLAPS the hold apart! Cassidy drops, wheelbarrows, but Roddy half nelsons. Cassidy slips free, standing switches, and snapmares! Then he has Roddy for the photo op! Thumbs up, and then ghost pin! TWO! Roddy swings, Cassidy dodges, and Cassidy “CHOPS!” The fans lose their minds but Roddy asks, “Really?” Cassidy shrugs, then dodges Roddy’s back elbow!

Cassidy headlocks, Roddy powers up and out, but Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges. Cassidy then bails out, and he hugs Kyle! The fans cheer The Conglomeration reunion, but then Cassidy looks at Cole. Cole stares daggers at Cassidy, so Cassidy slowly turns, hand up to block Cole from view. Cassidy rolls into the ring, but Roddy is right on him! Roddy headlocks, Cassidy powers up and out, but Roddy CLOBBERS him! Things keep moving, Roddy hurdles to then slide out, and he hugs Kyle! AND Cole! But Cassidy DIVES onto Roddy! The fans fire up and Cassidy puts Roddy back in. The fans chant, “One More Hug!”

Cassidy says why not. He hugs Kyle! The fans cheer, Cassidy goes up, then leaps, into a DROPKICK from Roddy! The antiair takes Cassidy down, but Roddy puts him in a corner. Roddy CHOPS, then he stalks Cassidy. Roddy CHOPS Cassidy again, but Cassidy bails out. Cassidy paces while he catches his breath, then he rolls back in. But Roddy stomps away at the ropes! The ref counts, Roddy stops to haul Cassidy up, and Roddy uses the ropes to SLINGSHOT POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Roddy keeps Cassidy down with a chinlock, then shifts into a GROUND COBRA TWIST! Cassidy endures, fights up, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Cassidy stands, but Roddy fireman’s carries Cassidy for a HOTSHOT on the ropes! Cassidy falls back and sputters while Roddy flexes. Roddy drags Cassidy up, whips him to a corner, and Cassidy hits buckles hard! Roddy storms up on Cassidy, drags him up, and scoops for a BACKBREAKER! Cassidy writhes, Roddy drags him up, and brings him into a CAMEL CLUTCH! Cassidy endures, fights to get his arms free, but Roddy pulls the arms back into place. Cassidy still has one arm free as he endures being bent back. Cassidy gets the other arm free, but Roddy keeps on the stretch. Cassidy slips out he back, rolls Roddy up, TWO!

Roddy DROPKICKS Cassidy right down! Cover, TWO! Cassidy survives and even shakes his head. Roddy drags Cassidy up, gives him a hug and puts him in a corner. To CHOP! Cassidy drops to his knees, but Roddy brings him back up. Roddy suplexes, Cassidy blocks, but Roddy CLUBS away! Roddy suplexes, Cassidy flails! Roddy CLUBS away, suplexes again, but Cassidy cradle counters! TWO!! Roddy escapes, and he LARIATS Cassidy down! Roddy drags Cassidy into a leglock, and he goes for the chinlock! Cassidy endures the Angelito Stretch, then fights up, pries the hold open, only for Roddy to KNEE him low!

Roddy puts Cassidy in a corner, then up top. But Cassidy BOOTS back! Cassidy adjusts position, but Roddy GAMANGIRIS! Roddy climbs up, gut wrenches, but Cassidy clings to the ropes! Cassidy fires body shots, then Dynamite returns to single picture. Cassidy ROCKS Roddy, he drops back, and Cassidy goes to the apron. Roddy runs up, Cassidy RAMS him, ROCKS him, then SLINGSHOT DDTS! The fans fire up while both men are down! Cole & Kyle coach Roddy, the fans rally, and Cassidy rises first. Cassidy goes to a corner, comes back for Roddy, but Roddy CHOPS! Cassidy shakes his head, and comes back.

Roddy CHOPS again, but Cassidy is just getting angry! Roddy CHOPS him down, but Cassidy’s right back up! Cassidy is pumping up, and he puts his hands… IN HIS POCKETS! Roddy CHOPS, and CHOPS, and CHOPS! Cassidy dodges, ducks ‘n’ dodges, then SHOTGUNS Roddy down! And kips up! The fans fire up for Cassidy, and he goes corner to corner, only for Roddy to put him on the apron. But Cassidy bumps Roddy off buckles! Then goes side to side for another buckle bump! And then back again for a third! Cassidy climbs while Roddy staggers, and Cassidy FLYING LARIATS! Cassidy gets moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges, tilt-o-whirl-

NO, Roddy slips free, suplexes, STUN- NO! Roddy stops the Stun Dog Millionaire to half nelson, but Cassidy swings to ARM-DRAG! Cassidy then ducks ‘n’ dodges, tilt-o-whirls, and DDTS!

And with that, Dynamite is Freshly Squeezed! The Undisputed Kingdom heads out, Tony Schiavone steps in, and Schiavone says Cassidy is back and better than ever. It will be live from coast to coast when AEW is in San Diego, and Cassidy will go 1v1 with Takeshita for the title, winner going on to Revolution. If Cassidy wins, he’ll become the greatest International Champion in AEW history! But before Cassidy can speak, The Don Callis Family makes their way out here. Callis has a mic to say he has something important to say.

Mark Davis & Konosuke Takeshita flank Callis as he tells Cassidy, “I guess you’re gonna go tell everyone you’re the greatest International Champion of all time. But to me, you’re nothing but a red-headed hippy! You’re nothing but a loud mouth punk! GET HIM!” Callis sends Konosuke & Davis to go after Cassidy!

Phoenix fires up for Omega & Orange as Omega holds up the belt, the fans like how that looks! But Cassidy looks at the belt, wanting to have it back. Who makes it through this Revolution International Championship Series as THE champion?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite here to follow up the Australia specials and move things towards Revolution. Great promo segment to open with MJF and Hangman, and MJF has his “Heel making a good point” moment saying how the “forgiveness” is rather hypocritical. To be fair, Kevin Owens has made a similar argument recently, but it’s still valid in all of pro-wrestling where some Heels can never truly go Face. Anyway, good stuff to set up their match at Revolution, including that moment Hangman has with Daniels. And as I said last week, Hangman VS MJF should be seen as an unofficial #1 contender’s match, the winner aimed at the world title going towards AEW Dynasty in April.

Speaking of the world title, good stuff with Willow and Marina brawling again, leading into Moxley’s promo that then led into Cope & White getting after the Death Riders again. I really thought Cope was going to up the ante on the title match, but he instead implies he’s going to use the next two weeks, the next four AEW shows between Dynamite and Collision going into Revolution to have matches with Claudio, Yuta and Pac in whatever order, and take them off the board. I would think Jay White and even Willow are part of that, maybe even The Gunns as they rejoin White in the Bang Bang Gang, which could be some really good stuff that branches off into other matches.

Really good Trios match from Patriarchy VS Opps. The Opps have a good theme song, but maybe a little too chill. That aside, The Opps of course won and it was of course Nick Wayne taking the loss. I still think we should get Joe VS Christian, and then that’s a smokescreen where Christian loses only to come back and cash-in on the world title. It’s gotta happen, it’ll help shake things up, and again, how can we ignore a new Cope VS Christian feud? Very good promo from Toni Storm to leave it up in the air who her next feud is with, and pretty good promo segment with Mone and Momo to set up their feud. But now that Momo said TBS Championship, pretty sure Mone wins.

Toni did name drop Kris, and Kris Statlander has yet to challenge for the world title, so maybe she moves up after what we’re getting with her, Rosa, Ford & Bayne. Great match from Kris VS Megan, but I should’ve figured Ford would get involved to screw Kris over. And naturally, Ford would beat up Kris and that’d cue Rosa to make the save. But how did they botch that so badly? The irony is this was a botch where next to nothing happened when clearly something should have. It feels like someone between Ford and Megan forgot what they were to do, because the easy option would’ve been for them to slip out of the ring, but it just ended up awkward. The tag match will be good, and we can still do singles matches after, but this was a bad hiccup.

Jericho had a good promo to call out Bandido, and I didn’t think the ROH World Championship would be happening now. With that, there might be shenanigans that help Jericho win, which is a shame. Good promo from Cage & Archer to call out The Hurt Syndicate, and we’ll surely get a confrontation on Collision that then makes the tag title match for Revolution. That’s gonna be some big meaty men slapping meat there, much like tonight’s Street Fight. Though, AEW really needs to clarify how their rulebook works. Given the ten count, this was really a Last Man Standing match disguised as a Street Fight. But naming conventions aside, still great stuff, and Hobbs getting the win works so that he can move on, perhaps to a title match of his own.

Very good promo from Ricochet with Nana, and you can bet the robe will be the apparent prize in whatever rematch we get from Ricochet and Swerve. And knowing Swerve, he and Ricochet could have one killer No Disqualification style match. Good promo from Caster to play off his Open Challenge losses like they were for other reasons other than Caster isn’t the Best Wrestler Alive. And y’know what? They mentioned Gabe Kidd showing up for Collision, so why not two birds with one stone? Gabe should answer the challenge, beat the snot out of Caster, then call out just about anyone he wants, because he’s Gabe Kidd.

Very good promo from The Undisputed Kingdom, but what a copout on The Conglomeration not really being a thing anymore. Did they not want to put in the time to do a quick promo where The Conglomeration disassembles? I did like how Cassidy hugged Kyle and felt awkward around Cole, though. But still a great main event from Cassidy VS Roddy, and Cassidy winning makes a lot of sense. For one, The Kingdom can still do a feud with The Death Riders over the trios and world titles, but also, Cassidy really did establish the International Championship. Good stuff with Don Callis Family going after Cassidy, then Omega making the save. It’s also a good tease of Omega VS Cassidy for the first time since Omega was world champion, but we’re definitely getting Omega VS Takeshita at Revolution.

My Score: 8.8/10
