PLAY BY PLAY
We all are part of history in the making.
Triple H narrates and says, “It’s as real as our ancient yearning. Not merely for a hero, but a villain, as well. Just as they need each other, so do you need them to tell a story. But what of the story of wrestling itself? What if the canvas could speak? Of an ageless carnival with primeval roots that came of age with the most American of institutions: television. As television changed, so did wrestling. And together, they changed America. Truth is, a great swath of American culture of that eternal battle between the Face and the Heel. From ecstasy to humiliation, fame to obscurity, and back again.
“An endless cycle that changed the rules and blurred the lines. Made it harder to distinguish the good guys from the bad. The shoot from the work. The real from the unreal. Because wrestling’s greatest stories, every damn one, has that element of truth. The screens get smaller, but the show gets bigger. Global. From television to streaming, America to the world. Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the all real, ever fantastic, never to end, story of WWE.”
The curtain goes down and HHH is there himself! The fans go wild for The Game, and HHH has the mic to tell the 17 THOUSAND PLUS in the Intuit Dome, “LEMME HEAR YOU!” The fans fire up even more, and HHH says in this moment, and this is THE moment, all of them are being seen and heard by the entire globe! “Show them who you are! Tell them that this is the WWE, and we are louder than anything you have ever seen before!” HHH already knows the answer, but he’ll ask them anyway… “ARE… YOU… READY!?” The fans definitely are! Then welcome to Monday Night Raw, and welcome to the Netflix Era!!
Pyro goes off and the fans are even more fired up than they were two seconds ago! Will this first-ever Raw on Netflix tear the house down?
THE ROCK IS HERE!
Scratch that, they’re gonna BLOW the roof off this place! Los Angeles goes wild as The People’s Champion, The Great One, The Most Electrifying Man in ALL of Sports Entertainment, The Final Boss has arrived on Raw! The Rock high-fives the fans as he goes down the ramp, then he makes sure to shake hands with Michael Cole, Pat McAfee, and leaves his People’s Championship right with his young daughters in the front row. The Rock then goes to the sponsorship covered ring, grabs a mic, and he hears the fans chant his name. The Rock then smiles, raises his legendary eyebrow, and even acknowledges the CHEE-HOO in the crowd.
The Rock says, “Years ago, when The Rock was a little rock, little pebble, and I used to travel these highways all across this country with my dad, WWE Hall of Famer, he’s in Heaven now, The Soul Man, Rocky Johnson, the only way to watch WWE was to either buy a ticket, or you watched it on Saturday morning. You can still buy a ticket, but watching it now is a totally different story. Because right now, around the world, you are watching it on Netflix. And by the way, lemme just take a moment to say that here tonight, in Los Angeles, the Intuit Dome, live on Netflix, we’re making history.
“Tonight is the largest arena gate in the history of the WWE. Congratulations!” The fans cheer that genuine compliment, and Rock says that means FINALLY…! The WWE has come back to Netflix. Okay, he knows everyone’s like, “Wait, no, that’s BS, get to the real one.” Okay, here it comes, and he’ll says it loud and proud. FINALLY… The Rock has come back to Los Angeles! The fans cheer, and he wants to acknowledge some people. When it comes to great partners, you need someone who loves the WWE and loves pro-wrestling and can see the bigger picture. That partner is Netflix. The Rock shouts out the execs up in their skybox.
The fans cheer, but Rock assures them, if this part glitched, he’ll go all Squid Game on them. But now, to acknowledge another man who The Rock has spilt blood with, spilt blood across the country, and ready to do it all over again. This man has carried this company on his back for a year. He has done an amazing job. Cody Rhodes, thank you! The fans cheer as we spot The American Nightmare in the crowd! Cody’s not on the card tonight but you know he was going to be here for this. By the way, Rock wants Cody to tell Mama Rhodes that The Rock said hello.
And lastly, Rock will acknowledge one other man, and that is his cousin, Roman Reigns. The fans fire up for the “O T C! O T C!” The Rock says not only is Roman the Tribal Chief, but he is the ORIGINAL Tribal Chief! And in their culture, let’s get another CHII-HOO~! The fans echo that, and Rock says in Tribal Combat, Rock will be watching, as will the world. The Rock is proudly a High Chief himself, he carries it with pride, respect, and a warrior spirit. He will watch this very closely. Rock loves LA, he loves Netflix, let’s get this show on the road! IF YA SMELLLLLLL~… Wait for it… Rock smirks as the fans fire up a bit more.
…WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING! Mic drop from The Final Boss, but will he be forced to acknowledge a NEW Tribal Chief? Or can Roman take back the ula fala from Solo Sikoa?
Tribal Combat: Roman Reigns VS Solo Sikoa!
Well, we won’t have to wait long to find out! The Bloodline: Civil War has gone through constant battles, and even a 5v5 WarGames match! But finally, it comes down to the leaders of each side fighting for THE title of Undisputed Tribal Chief! Who will the world truly ACKNOWLEDGE?
The introductions are made, Paul Heyman doing his part for Roman, the ula fala is raised, and it is time for the civil war to end!
The fans already chant “F YOU, SOLO!” Solo hands the ula fala over, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and the fans again chant for “O T C! O T C!” The bell rings, and the two stare down. The fans rally as the two circle, but Solo points to the ula fala and Heyman, saying those will both be his after tonight. The two tie up, go around, and Solo pushes Roman back. Roman powers up to push Solo back, and they go around the ring. The fans rally behind Roman as he pushes Solo. Solo pushes back but Roman uses that to TOSS Solo out! The fans cheer, Roman goes out after Solo, and they tie up again. They run into the post, into barriers, and then the apron! Solo POSTS Roman, the fans boo, but Solo SMACKS Roman off the desk!
Solo talks trash, puts Roman in the ring, then storms in after Roman. Solo LARIATS Roman down but the fans boo. Solo soaks it all up, then talks more trash on Roman.

Roman falls over, Solo soaks up the heat, then Solo hops down to go for the steel steps. Solo pulls the steps apart and tells Roman to get up. Roman rises, Solo tells Heyman to watch this. Solo has the steps, and he BATTERING RAMS Roman! Roman falls, clutching his head, but Solo takes a seat while Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and Roman is in the ring, but Solo is bringing a chair! And another chair! Solo stalks Roman, eggs him on, and as Roman stands, Solo runs up to JAM him! The fans boo but Solo SMACKS Roman on the back! Roman writhes, Solo talks trash, and then he SMACKS Roman again! And again! And again! Roman writhes but Solo SMACKS him yet again! Solo raises the one but the fans boo. Solo stalks Roman while Roman crawls, and Solo puts Roman in the corner. Solo rains down fists, and he says he gave Roman everything! He loved him! Solo rains down fists again, and he says he has to take Roman out, for good.
Solo sits Roman up, puts the chair around his head, and the fans freak out already! Solo goes corner to corner while Heyman pleads for mercy. Solo ignores those pleas and he runs in! But Roman dodges! Solo hits only buckles! Roman stands, armed with that chair! He JAMS Solo up now! And SMACKS Solo on the back! And again! And again! And again, and again, and again! Roman SMACKS Solo off the chair now, then does it again! Roman has the other chair, and he’s thinking about it. The fans want tables, but Roman says hold on. Let’s get Rated R first! CON-CHAIR- NO, Solo dodges! Roman loses the chair and Solo LOW BLOWS!
The fans boo but there’s nothing to be done! URENAGE onto the chairs! Cover, TWO!! Roman survives and Heyman can breathe again. Solo seethes, taunts the fans over their love for OTC, and he just dribbles Roman off the mat! Solo has the chair, but throws it aside. Solo goes outside, looks under the ring, and he brings out a TABLE! The fans fire up for that, but Solo hesitates to do anything with the table. Roman hits a DRIVE-BY DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Solo falls and Roman grits his teeth. Roman looks at the table, and he hears the fans cheering him on. Roman puts the table in the ring! Roman sets the table up and the fans rally.
Roman drags Solo up, but Solo SMACKS him with a kendo stick! Solo grins as he gets the better of Roman there. Solo SMACKS Roman again and again, and he talks trash on Heyman. The fans boo but Solo stands Roman up in the corner. Solo climbs up and he CHOKES Roman with the kendo stick! Solo says he loved Roman, but Roman never loved Solo. No matter what Solo did to prove himself! But wait, Roman bench presses the stick away! The fans fire up, and Roman ROCKS Solo! Then he gets under Solo, to POWERBOMB him through the table!!

SAMOAN- NO, Roan ducks the spike! SPEAR!!! The fans are thunderous again and Roman is going nuts! “OOOAH~!” SPEAR!!! Cover, ROMAN WINS!!
Winner: Roman Reigns, by pinfall (UNDISPUTED Tribal Chief)
Heyman steps into the ring, and he kneels to humbly present Roman with the ula fala. Roman nods, but wait, here comes The Rock! The Rock literally just said he’d be watching closely, and now he goes back to the ring so he may stand with Roman. Rock tells Heyman he’ll do the honors. Heyman nods and hands the ula fala to Rock, and Rock turns to Roman. Rock puts the ula fala around Roman’s neck, and the fans cheer as these two chiefs stand tall. Rock then takes off his sunglasses to look Roman in the eye, and he offers a handshake. Roman accepts, they hug it out, and the fans cheer again.
Roman is once again, truly and without question, THE Tribal Chief. He raises the one to the sky and LA joins him. Now that Roman has his ula fala back, what is next for The OTC?
It’s almost time…
Almost time to see what WWE is like with CERO! MIEDO! Get ready for PENTA!
The WWE Superstar watch party is going on!
Byron Saxton is hanging out with Kayden Carter, Katana Chance, Carmelo Hayes, Austin Theory, Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn are having a great time watching all the action.
JOHN CENA IS HERE!
The fans are thunderous as #TheLastTimeIsNow! Cena’s farewell tour begins on the biggest Monday Night Raw ever, but he still pulls off the run down the ramp and the slide into the ring! Cena gets the mic and he says everyone’s talking about it, but you don’t get it until you’re out there. There’s just something different about tonight. And there’s people everywhere! LA shows up, huh? The fans cheer for Cena, and he knows that everyone heard it, but yes, this is the first time in history that Raw is broadcasted around the world at the same time. The difference makers are the fans. The fans chant, “Thank You, Cena!”
Cena says yeah, let the world know! Over the years, he has learned that the fans are very, very smart. And now, the audience has gotten a whole lot bigger. Everyone can see the fans right now. The electricity is felt all around the world! South Korea, Brazil, India, let ’em know, Los Angeles! The fans fire up for that, and Cena thanks Netflix for allowing the world to finally see the experience of MONDAY NIGHT RAW! The fans cheer again, and Cena adds, “Thank you, Monday Night Raw, for allowing me the honor to stand in a WWE ring in Los Angeles, full jorts, for the last time.” Cena could not think of a better place to start the farewell tour than LA.
And it is not just LA’s excitement. Hell, he slept in his car when he was working at Gold’s Gym in Venice. He learned to wrestle at UPW in Orange County. He rented a two-bedroom at 106 and Doredy and that’s 600 feet from here. Inglewood is up to no good! LA is where The Prototype was born! It’s where Cena won his first world title! And for 25 YEARS, LA has allowed Cena the opportunity to perform in this ring. So one last time in the city where dreams are made, he humbly stands before you and thanks you. The fans cheer Cena, and Cena says that’s what this year is about. It is about making moments.
There’s a lot of noise in here, and out of here. A new headline from a new expert on the year ahead. Who does Cena face at Mania, in his last match, etc. Names fly out like Drew McIntyre (fans boo), CM Punk (fans cheer), Logan Paul (fans boo), Gunther (fans are torn), Cody Rhodes (YAY!) and everyone wants to know when on the farewell tour does Cena become a history making, record breaking, SEVENTEEN TIME World Champion? Fans chant, “You Deserve It!” But Cena says to be honest, since they’ve always been honest with him, he just doesn’t see it happening. But that’s okay. The reason is, there’s the streak. Not Gunther’s 666, not Roman’s 1316, not even Undertaker’s 21 years at WrestleMania.
Cena means his 2,446 DAYS since he won a match. But that’s okay, he is at peace with it. That’s why they’re doing this! His time is up, their time is now! The fans aren’t so sure but Cena says hey, we’ll have fun on this final year. But as far as a 17th world title, never gonna happen. But hold on now, wait. Cena forgot where he was, this is the WWE. You should never say never. But maybe not never, but that it would take a miracle. He has a better chance at winning an Oscar, and well… But with a streak like his, he can’t just walk into a main event. The only thing he could do is win Money in the Bank, win the Elimination Chamber, or… win the Royal Rumble!
The fans like the sound of all that! Cena realizes what he’s saying, and says hold on, crazy idea. Maybe he can win the Rumble? The fans erupt, and Cena says okay, okay, it’s a long shot, but… Well, you can’t win the lottery if you don’t play! So he should get in the Rumble, right? His last Rumble! No maybe next year! So the best way to say thanks to the fans is to win the Rumble and make history at WrestleMania! Elephant in the room, it sounds impossible. But if you know Cena, nothing is impossible. And the only time you say “never,” is when you say, “Never Give Up.”
Cena thanks LA. Because now he’s not just going to the Royal Rumble, he’s gonna WIN the Royal Rumble! “YOU WANT SOME? COME GET SOME!!” The fans fire up, can Cena make his last year his best year?
Logan Paul speaks.
The Maverick gets it, you don’t like him. He’s never respected the process or waited his turn. But what really keeps the haters up at night is that he is just so good at this. And now he is dedicating his life to this. No more “side hustle,” no more BS. 100% WWE Superstar, Logan Paul! This is the beginning of the Logan Paul Era.
WWE Women’s World Championship: Liv Morgan w/Dominik Mysterio & Raquel Rodriguez VS Rhea Ripley!
Roman and Solo put an end to their feud, Cena is on his farewell tour, and now, win, lose or draw, the Liv Morgan Revenge Tour comes to an end! Lil’ Liv took almost everything from Mami, but will she be the one to lose it all? Or will Rhea fail to eradicate Liv once and for all?
Raw returns and Rhea makes her entrance. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and one last time, we see who is on top!
The bell rings and the fans fire up as Liv and Rhea stare down. They step up, then they fire hands! The fans fire up as Rhea kicks low, stomps a foot, then KNEES Liv in the head! Liv dodges a lariat but Rhea choke grips her! Rhea lifts Liv to SLAM her back down! Liv tumbles out of the ring, Raquel & Dom go to her side, but Rhea grins as she CANNONBALLS! Down goes Ricky Desperado but Dom gets Liv to safety. Liv gets int he ring, Rhea pursues, but Dom trips her up! The fans boo but Liv KNEES Rhea to the floor! Rhea is on her feet, but Liv goes to the apron. Liv leaps, but Rhea stops the rana!
Rhea lifts Liv to POWERBOMB her on the desk! The fans fire up and Dom panics while Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and Liv has Rhea down in a corner. Liv stomps away on Rhea, the ref counts, and the fans boo! Liv lets off with a scream, but then Rhea YANKS her into buckles! The fans fire up while Liv is dazed. Rhea runs up, but Liv ELBOWS her away! Liv goes up, up, and FLYING FACEBUSTERS! Cover, TWO! Rhea stays in this but Liv stays on Rhea with slaps and SMACKS off the mat! Liv grins as she kicks and scuffs Rhea, then kicks her in the side! The fans rally for Rhea but Liv is amused. Liv steps on Rhea, then DOUBLE CHOPS her on the back! Liv DOUBLE CHOPS again, but Rhea is just getting mad.
Rhea stands, Liv SLAPS her, so Rhea eggs her on! Liv SLAPS and SLAPS, but Rhea blocks one to short arm LARIAT! And short arm LARIAT! And then ripcord and mule kick! Then a FACEBUSTER of her own! Rhea runs to KNEE Liv down! The fans fire up with Rhea and she brings Liv in. Rhea tucks the arms in a double pump handle! Flip and suplex! The fans fire up while Liv flounders away. Rhea runs in at the corner, but Liv dodges! Liv scurries away, comes back, but Rhea stops the wheelbarrow! Half nelson SUPLEX! Liv tumbles, Rhea covers, TWO! Liv survives and Rhea grows frustrated, but Dom & Raquel are relieved.
The fans rally while Dom coaches Liv. Rhea rises, she brings Liv around and pump handles again! Half nelson and RIP- NO, Liv slips free to BACKSTABBER! And then Liv RAMS Rhea into buckles! Liv reels Rhea in for a TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO! Rhea is tougher than that but Liv is still frustrated. Dom & Raquel continue to coach Liv but the fans continue to rally behind Rhea. Rhea rises at the ropes, Liv runs up, but Rhea HEADBUTTS her! Liv tries again, ENZIGIRIS Rhea, and then whips. Rhea reverses to slide under and RIPTIDE!! High stack, TWO?!?! Liv survives and shocks everyone, even Dom & Raquel!
Rhea pleads with the ref but no, that was two. Or at least, it was a 2.9. Dom slides the title into the ring! But Rhea knows what that means! Rhea BLASTS Raquel off the apron, but Liv hits FULL METAL OBLIVION! Cover, TWO?!? Rhea survives and now Liv is shocked! Liv looks to Dom and Dom says just hit her again! Liv hauls Rhea up, reels her in, and manages a snap suplex! Una Amiga, and the fans boo. Dom grins as Liv hits Dos Amigas! Liv hits THREE AMIGAS, and she kicks Rhea around. Liv puts Rhea in a drop zone, goes up the corner, and gives some Latina Heat. The fans boo, but Liv aims, FROG SPLASH! Cover, TWO!!
Liv is freaking out and Dom is beside himself! Rhea crawls, Liv stalks her, and they go to ropes. Liv runs up, but Rhea stops Oblivion! Rhea shakes her head, grins, and blows a kiss goodnight. URENAGE! Rhea then hauls Liv up, pump handles, RIPTIDE!!! But then she flips Liv over, resets, RIPTIDE!!! Cover, RHEA WINS!
Winner: Rhea Ripley, by pinfall (NEW WWE Women’s World Champion)
The fans cheer because finally and for good, Mami is on top! But then Dom sneaks in? What’s he thinking? Rhea turns to see him standing there, and he offers a hug?! What a rat! Snake! Worm! Rhea looks at her title, looks at Dom, and she kisses the title, before she smiles and LOW BLOWS Dom!! The fans cheer as Rhea now hooks Dom up, RIPTIDE!! Dom gets what he deserves and Rhea’s finally leaving him behind once and for all! But now that she reigns supreme, what will be next for Monday Night Rhea?
Wait, The Undertaker’s here?!? And not only that, it’s AMERICAN BADASS TAKER! Rhea grins as she gets to be here for The Phenom’s return! Taker rides by on his motorcycle, goes to the ring and does a quick lap before going back up the ramp. He fist bumps with Mami, and she gets to raise the fist with him! Pyro goes off, Rhea and Taker high-five, and they head out again.
The watch party continues.
The New Day is here, but they’re not as excited as KC Squared or The LWO. Why’re they even here then? Or do they think they can scout Rey Mysterio’s partner for their match next week?
Backstage interview with Adam Pearce.
The Raw General Manager is talking with Bayley, and they shake hands. Cathy Kelley says this is a massive night already, but what else can we expect for the flagship show? But then American Made walks in. Chad Gable says the answer is the continued ascent of him and his elite group of athletes. A former Olympian, a valedictorian, and the man who singlehandedly dismantled The Alpha Academy. He WILL win a singles title, and he will dispel the rumors that he is lacking against luchadores. Give him the best one on the roster! Pearce asks if Gable is sure about that. Gable has never been more sure of anything in his life. Now make it official.
American Made heads out, Pearce excuses himself, he has a call to make. Is Gable going to regret leaving this up to Pearce? Or will Gable show he has no fear?
Travis Scott is here!
The fans go wild as the hit rapper and honorary WWE Hardcore Champion paves the way for Main Event Jey! Los Angeles is ready to YEET, but will Jey smoke the Scottish Terminator like whatever that is Travis has in his hand? Or will McIntyre check another name off his hitlist? We find out, after the break!

Gunther speaks.
“I’ve heard everyone say we’re in a new era. It is a new era, for everyone else. But not for me. All their personal problems, and their emotional outbursts mean nothing to me. I am still where their dreams, their hopes, and their ambitions go to die. I am the light at the end of their tunnel, because I hold the prize they all want. I am the World Heavyweight Champion. I am Der Ring General, GUNTHER!”
Backstage interview with Gabriel Iglesias.
Cathy Kelley is with the world-renowned comedian and longtime WWE fan, and Fluffy is so excited. Cathy says Fluffy’s new special, Legend of Fluffy, debuts on Tuesday, January 7th. What is he most looking forward to here tonight? But then New Day cuts Fluffy off! They don’t understand why no one has let them explain themselves! Where is their time! This is Raw on Netflix, the biggest platform WWE has ever been on! Cathy should talk to the greatest tag team of all time, not this fluffy buffoon! Man, Gabriel liked them better when ethyl had a cereal. But then The Alpha Academy comes by to say Happy new Year to Fluffy!
Gabriel would love to hang out, but he has to get to his amazing seats. Thanks, Netflix! Also, NEW! DAY SUCKS! Cathy says time’s up, sorry! Kofi says no one likes Fluffy, no one’s gonna watch his special!
Heyman and Roman regroup backstage.
The Wise Man says the glory of the Island of Relevancy once again belongs to Roman Reigns. The Head of the Table, the end all, be all! OTC, Tribal Chief! They need a platform from which the whole WORLD can acknowledge him. When can we put that date on the calendar? Roman Reigns says January 27th. Heyman nods and notes that down. Then they walk into the WWE 2K25 room! Is Roman going to grace the cover of the newest WWE video game?
HULK HOGAN IS HERE!
The Mouth of the South, Jimmy Hart, leads the way and waves the star-spangled banner, and LA cheers on the Immortal One! Hogan has a mic already as he stands on stage, and he says, “Well lemme tell you somethin’, brother! Y’know something, Maniacs? I’ve been in this business for over 40 years, and the greatest part of my life was being a part of the great WWE, guys.

Hogan rips his shirt to reveal the “Netflix is Raw” shirt! Get ready to get real with Real American Beer!
CM Punk VS Seth Rollins!
HHH’s monologue was about heroes and villains, Faces and Heels, and how the lines have blurred over the years. And that blurring of the lines is crystal clear when it comes to these two. The Voice of the Voiceless and the Visionary have had it out with their words, but now it’s time to fight it out in the ring! Who proves that they are indeed the Best in the World? We find out, after the break!
Raw returns and CM Punk makes his entrance, “It’s CLOBBERIN’ TIME~!” The bell rings and the fans are fired up already as they either chant for Punk or sing Rollins’ song, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” Rollins and Punk stare down, and Punk smirks as Rollins scowls. The fans are already losing their minds, and then the hands start flying! The fans fire up as Punk gets the edge! Punk backs Rollins down, puts him on ropes for more shots, but Rollins dodges to LARIAT Punk against ropes! And again, and again! But Punk dodges to then LARIAT Rollins up and out! Punk aims, PLANCHAS< but Rollins rolls into the ring!
Rollins builds speed and DIVES! Direct hit and both men hit barriers! The fans fire up, and Rollins clears the announce desk! The fans fire up, but Rollins tells the ref to watch his ring count. No one here wants a count out! The ref says don’t put him in that position then! Rollins seethes and goes back to Punk, to CHOP! Punk tries to turn things around but Rollins reverses that, and Punk hits barriers! Rollins runs up, but Punk TOSSES him over barriers! The fans fire up, and Punk goes up to CROSSBODY! Punk stomps away on Rollins, the ref storms out to tell Punk to watch it, but now Rollins and Punk fire hands!
Rollins RAMS Punk into the barriers, DUMPS him over, then CLUBS away on him! Rollins goes up the barriers, and he AX- NO, Punk body shots Rollins first! And then SMACKS him with the desk hood! The fans are thunderously dueling but the ref reprimands. Punk pushes Rollins into the ring, slides in, but avoids the stomp! Punk fireman’s carries, but Rollins fights free with elbows! Rollins HAMMERS away on Punk, has Punk on the mat, but the fans start booing. Rollins lets off and Punk flounders to a corner. Rollins storms back up and he digs his boot into Punk’s face! The fans duel, the ref backs Rollins off, but Rollins goes back for more!
Rollins digs that boot in, then he argues with the ref! The fans fire up as Rollins gets the ref to ease up. But then Punk BOOTS Rollins! Punk suplexes Rollins to hang him out to dry! Rollins sputters as he goes to the apron, and Punk goes up the corner. Punk brings Rollins up to join him, and fans fire up already, for the SUPER SWINGING NECKBREAKER! Both men are down and the fans lose their minds! The ref checks both men, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and the fans duel as the shots go back and forth. Rollins gets the edge, whips, but Punk reverses. Punk runs in, but Rollins dodges! The knee hits buckles, then Rollins forearm SMASHES Punk! Rollins snarls as he gets space, and the fans fire up again as Rollins eggs Punk on. Punk stands in the corner, and Rollins hits another forearm SMASH! Rollins SLAPS Punk, pie faces him around, then gets in his face. The fans rally, Rollins runs, but Punk follows! SHINING WIZARD in the corner! Then a whip corner to corner for another SHINING WIZARD! Rollins powers out of the Bulldog but Punk LARIATS!
Punk LARIATS again, then SWINGING NECKBREAKER! The fans duel as Punk says night-night! Punk stalks Rollins to the apron, drags him up by his hair, and he NECKBREAKER HOTSHOTS Rollins! Rollins falls to the floor, then Punk PLANCHAS! Down goes Rollins again and the fans fire up. Punk stalks Rollins, drags him up and puts him in, then goes to a corner. Punk climbs, aims, and CROSSBODIES! But Rollins rolls through! Rollins deadlifts Punk and the fans fire up! Rollins even pops Punk up to a fireman’s carry! GO TO SLEEP!? But then Punk tumbles out of the ring! The fans are torn but Rollins still sticks it to Punk!
Rollins goes out the side, hobbles his way over to Punk, and he makes sure Punk hears the fans singing the song. “All of this! I built all of this!” The fans are torn, but Rollins puts Punk in the ring. Rollins slides in, but Punk steals the CURB STOMP!! Cover, TWO!! Both men survive their own moves and the fans fire up again! Punk rains down fists on Rollins, then drags him up. Punk underhooks, but then says night-night! GO TO- NO, Rollins blocks, and again steals GTS!! Cover, TWO?!? Punk survives again and Rollins is stunned! The fans rally up, they duel between the two, Rollins aims, runs up, but Punk avoids the stomp!
Punk bails out, Rollins pursues, and Rollins drags Punk up off the floor. Rollins says Punk is trying to run away like he always does! Rollins SMACKS Punk off the desk, then climbs up on there. Rollins brings Punk up, reels him in, but Punk fireman’s carries! But Rollins fights free! Rollins kicks low, underhooks, PEDIGREE on the desk!! The desk does not break but maybe Punk just did! Rollins clutches his leg, but he drags Punk into the ring. Rollins hurries to underhook again, PEDIGREE!! Rollins turns Punk over for the cover, TWO!! Punk still lives and the fans are thunderous! Rollins is frustrated and he shakes his head.
Punk sits up, he and Rollins stare down again. They both crawl to each other, and they throw SLAP after SLAP! Rollins winds up and ROCKS Punk with a right! Punk hits back, then throws a KNEE! And a CHOP! Rollins fires haymakers again! Rollins ROLLING ELBOWS then turns Punk! But Punk turns through to ROUNDHOUSE! Rollins ends up in a corner, SHINING- NO! Rollins stops Punk to then run and BUCKLE BOMB! Punk falls in a heap, Rollins runs up to CURB STOMP!! Cover, ROPEBREAK!!! The fans are electric as Punk survives by a literal foot! “This is Awesome!” as for the first time in a long time, Raw has overrun!
Rollins drags Punk up again, stands him up in the corner, then hoists him to the top rope. The fans rally as Rollins climbs. The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but this has to end somehow. Punk HEADBUTTS Rollins away! Rollins snarls, now he’s pissed! Rollins leaps right up top, brings Punk to the very top, SUPER DUPER PLEX! And roll through for the- Fireman’s carry!? GO TO SLEEP!! Rollins flounders around, and Punk gets under him for another fireman’s carry! Punk powers through to GO TO SLEEP!! Cover, PUNK WINS!
Winner: CM Punk, by pinfall
And though it isn’t a championship, Punk proves he is still Best in the World! The ref helps Punk stand so he can raise his hand, did this put the punctuation on the story that is CM Punk and Seth Rollins? Or will there still be another chapter in store down the line?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Raw for the Netflix debut, though I’m surprised they only did four matches for three hours. At the same time, we got some great promos for it, such as that cold open from Triple H. The Rock also had a great promo to not just commemorate the moment but to hype up the Tribal Combat match. I figured Tama & Jacob would help Solo, and as such, Jimmy & Sami would help Roman. A great bit with Cody and Kevin getting involved, too, but I kinda expected one more twist, like Hikuleo finally showing up in WWE, or even The Rock turning on Roman. But no, Roman wins and has everything going his way. He might even be on the cover of 2K25.
However, this does lead me to think one of my fantasy booking ideas is still possible. That is to say, Heyman’s favor to Punk. Rollins VS Punk was an awesome main event, and I really liked Rollins arguing with the ref to get the ref to be more lax with the count. Plus, stealing your opponent’s finisher is always a fun spot so I like how it happened a couple different times. Punk winning was only a little surprising, as he now has momentum going towards the Royal Rumble. Heyman’s favor can come in handy here, as Punk can either get a very good spot in the Rumble match, or he just gets a world title match at the Royal Rumble.
And speaking of all that, John Cena had a great promo to officially start the farewell tour and even aim for the Royal Rumble. It might be a bit obvious for him to win the Royal Rumble now, but Cena did mention the Elimination Chamber and Money in the Bank. Though, of the three, the Rumble is the least dangerous, given you could have a bad landing in either the Chamber or off a ladder. And very good promo from Gunther, and he’d be a great opponent for either Punk or Cena on the Road to WrestleMania. They probably could’ve not had Hogan do a promo tonight, it seems LA has not forgiven him for much of anything…
Similarly, I appreciate that Logan Paul’s promo was a vignette, and a short one, because the fans might’ve booed him just as bad. Very good promo from American Made with Adam Pearce, nice cameo by Bayley to tease a Transfer Window moment, and very good stuff from New Day again. I’m pretty sure Gable VS Penta is happening as opposed to Rey & Penta VS New Day. For one, it’d be a bit of a rip on the existing LWO for Rey to go with someone else when he can choose Dragon Lee. We’ll get great matches either way, and Penta’s gonna win. I feel like New Day should win their match with Rey & Lee, so as to build their Heel heat.
Great match from Jey VS McIntyre, but I feel like the crowd was a little tired by that point, and the match itself didn’t quite deliver on all fronts. Great win for Jey, but the ghost pin surely means McIntyre will come back for more. There is a lot of potential to McIntyre beating Jey in the blowoff and moving on to Roman in hopes of keeping Roman from the top titles. And awesome stuff from Rhea VS Liv tonight. Of course Raquel & Dom did their best to help Liv cheat, but awesome win for Rhea, and an awesome moment for her to be side by side with Taker. Bayley’s cameo here could tease Rhea VS Bayley going towards the Royal Rumble, but it really depends on how the Transfer Window sorts everything out.
My Score: 9/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 2.6.2025
Can the Nemeths take the titles off of the IWCs favorite tag team Fraxiom?
Fandango (JDC) made an appearance on NXT television, Joe Hendry was in the Royal Rumble, and TNA got plenty of name drops between all of the WWE programming. So it’s nice to see this partnership is coming off very healthy early on.
Tessa Blanchard WILL NOT be in the Knockouts Battle Royal!

Ratings:
- Tyson Dupont w/Wes Lee & Tyriek Igwe vs Ace Austin: Ace wins via The Fold – ** 3/4
- 10 Knockouts Battle Royale: Rosemary vs Jody Threat vs Dani Luna vs Ash by Elegance vs Heather by Elegance vs Tasha Steelz vs Alisha Edwards vs Jazz vs Savannah Evans vs Xia Brookside: Savannah Evans wins the title shot – ** 1/2
- The Hardy Boyz & Leon Slater vs The System: Jeff wins via Swanton Bomb – ***
- Matt Cardona vs Mike Santana: Santana wins via Spin the Block – ** 1/2
- NXT Tag Team Championships: Kaiba Boys (Nic & Ryan Nemeth) vs Fraxiom (c) : Fraxiom retains via Ryan is an Idiot – *** 1/2
Results:
Joe Hendry comes out to kick off the show with his concert, and he opens with a “We Are The Champions” parody of “Hendry Is The Champion”. Next song is “Joe Hendry Won the Belt” which is pretty solid and a little arrogant, but so is his entire shtick, then he calls the trope and starts up a song with “This Is The Part Where Somebody Cuts Me Off” and that Somebody…is SOMETHING, Jake SOMETHING. Jake says he talked to Santino for a title shot next week…okay.
There’s a backstage interview with Masha, and yeah…she sounds very lame when speaking English. The aura is gone, she’s still a great wrestler but hot damn are her promos like Chinese Water Torture.
Tyson Dupont w/Wes Lee & Tyriek Igwe vs Ace Austin
Collar and Elbow ties ups start things off slow until Tyson takes a cheap shot during a break and then runs Ace over off the ropes. Ace tries the Hip Toss but fails, Tyson counters with one of his own, Ace lands on his feet, rolls backwards, chops at the legs with some Sweep Kicks and then gets a quick 2 with a La Magistral. Ace keeps the strikes and Cradles flowing until Tyson sandbags him during an ill advised Suplex attempt, Ace tries something off the ropes to regain momentum but eats a Pop-Up Powerslam for two! Tyson with back to back Stinger Splashes, Whips Ace chest first into the corner, Ace bounces out and turns around to eats a Corkscrew European Uppercut for another near fall.
Tyson tries to take the fight out of Ace with the Full Nelson, but Ace is energized by the crowd. Ace uses the corner and his knees to break the Full Nelson, almost eats another Pop-Up but Full Extension Dropkick gives Ace new life. Rockstar Kick Combo, Russian Leg Sweep, Click Click Boom for two and Ace keeps chopping at the bigger man with Round Kicks to the lower body. Tyson goes for the Warrior Splash and MISSES! Ace turns that into a Fold off the ropes and wins!
Post match beating and The Rascalz show up for the save.

10 Knockouts Battle Royale: Rosemary vs Jody Threat vs Dani Luna vs Ash by Elegance vs Heather by Elegance vs Tasha Steelz vs Alisha Edwards vs Jazz vs Savannah Evans vs Xia Brookside
Lish decides to mouth off to Jazz immediately and eats The Clamp right off the bat and then hell breaks loose. Cora Jade is on commentary and she’s solid. Lish eliminates Tasha thinking she’s clever and then gets double teamed by Spitfire, so she gets dumped out after her betrayal. Elegance Clique was under the ring but Ash kept her nails visible so Dani pulls her out from under, and Heather was holding on, while Jody gets pulled from the other side. So Dani gets a goofy power spot, Heather gets eliminated, then Dani gets eliminated, Rosemary Spears Jody and eliminates her.
ASH tries to get her, Rosemary and Savannah to attack Jazz and Xia, but Ash doesn’t really attack and Xia and Jazz take control. Ash and Rosemary eliminate Jazz. Xia gets excited and eliminates Rosemary and Ash, Savannah tries to take advantage of the situation but the crowd is all for Xia. Xia manages to get Savannah over the rope to the apron, but Cora gets up off of commentary to distract Xia, Savannah tries a Chokebomb on the apron, Xia fights it off with biting the hand and then eats a headbutt from Savannah to eliminate Xia. So Savannah gets a title shot while Cora Jade mocks Xia for losing.
Eric comes out with the two jabronis and they look even lamer coming out in white hoodies. They look like AEW fans, not professional wrestlers. I love EY leading a group, be it World Elite, SAnitY, Violence by Design or whatever this will be known as…but these dudes are garbage. Steve Maclin interrupts the EY rant, so it should be interesting where Steve lands on this. Maclin asks a great question, why didn’t EY just tell him this was the plan when he knows he earned his trust. Maclin says “As long as they’re with you…I’m not”. So Maclin doesn’t declare himself an enemy, but he just says they’re not cool anymore. Oh and Josh’s music hits. I guess he hasn’t left yet.
Josh is a make-a-wish kid apparently, bald Canadian off, this is like Reptile vs Sub Zero, next week we get EY vs Josh as Josh’s Swan Song. Could be a solid match, so I’m not mad about it…I just hate the jabroni duo.

The Hardy Boyz & Leon Slater vs The System
Leon and JDC start, things get a little weird but JDC tags out to Eddie, Leon has Arm Drags for all and tags in Matt for a little tandem Extreme Elbow into the hyperextended arm action, Matt tags in Jeff for more tandem Arm attacks on Eddie. More Hardy party, Eddie is eating boots like he’s Tony Atlas. Poetry in Motion the classic way, JDC finally gets sick of watching Eddie get dogwalked, but System is getting stacked up and English Poetry in Motion on JDC and Eddie, Moose got knocked off the apron and a commercial break.
Oh look, Moose had Leon in the corner but Leon was fighting out of it. The other System members try to do something but Leon is fighting them all off, looks to fly, but Lish jumps on the apron to block the dive. Leon jumps over Lish and Moose just catches him with an Apron Bomb. Leon beats the 10 count and Moose just jumps on him and tags in Eddie. Kobashi Chops from Eddie, blind tag from JDC, Rocket Launcher into the Forearm for the Slingshot Elbow and JDC tags in Moose to maintain the pressure.
Eddie tags in and wipes out the Hardys, Blue Thunder Bomb, Senton and Down and Dirty from The System, but the Hardys barely make the save to stop the pinfall. Leon counters JDC’s Brainbuster with a Small Package, Leg Lariat from Leon, simultaneous tag and it’s Jeff and Moose. Jawbreaker for Moose, Mule Kick for Eddie, Manhattan Drop on Moose, Jeff is rolling with the classics. He calls for the Twist, JDC and Eddie break it up so it turns into a schmoz as Leon just Slingshots himself into the System. Feint Kick rocks Moose, Hardys take out the others, Leon wanted to go for his Corner Jump but Moose cuts him off with a Pump Kick. Leon dodges the Lights Out as Moose Posts himself, Leon takes out the other members. Plot Twist from the Hardyz, Jeff lets Leon hit the Swanton 450 first, then Swanton Bomb gives Jeff another pinfall victory over Moose.
This better be leading towards a Jeff X Division Championship shot, because that’s two visible pinfalls now.
.@MustafaAli_X had words of wisdom for @TheJasonHotch, @TheJohnSkyler and @RealTSteelz!

Matt Cardona vs Mike Santana
After the typical chicken shit powder into rope retreat, Santana hits a few Chops and starts movin, Cardona tries to powder again but Santana hits the dive to lay out Cardona. He throws Cardona back in the ring, Cardona powders again and trips up Santana on the apron to finally take advantage of things. There is a “We Want Chelsea” chant going as Cardona takes the advantage. Cardona is making more faces at the camera and crowd then connecting with moves that really matter. A few Irish Whips, a Rude Awakening, just very slow and boring since there’s no real tension in this match. Santana counters for a Cradle, Mule Kick after Cardona is back up, a little rope run into the Rolling Buck Fifty, but only for two.
Santana wants to Spin the Block and misses, Enzuigiri from Santana, Cardona tries to catch Santana off the ropes with Radio Silence but Santana turns it into a Spicolli Driver for two! A slow climb up the corner allows Cardona to crotch Santana into the seated position, ReBoot time, Tiger Driver for two. Radio Silence attempt, Santana catches him, Buckle Bomb, Guerrero Frog Splash, SPIN – THE – BLOCK! Santana wins.
NXT Tag Team Championships: Kaiba Boys (Nic & Ryan Nemeth) vs Fraxiom (c)
Little grounded Greco-Roman wrestling between Nic and Axiom, Frazer blind tag does take Nic by surprise as Frazer runs circles around Nic for a while before a Dropkick connects from Nic and tags in Ryan. Stereo Shot to Heart spot from the Nemeths. Ryan’s offense is purposely kinda corny, and it’s funny when Frazer finally bests him you just very audibly hear the “Oh Shit” and Fraxiom do a little tandem action rush, Locomotion Dives from Fraxiom, Nic counters Frazer, catches Axiom’s foot and then makes Axiom kick Frazer. Arianna is on commentary and its hilariously ditzy. She says something like “That’s really awkward, he kicked his friend…”, it’s so…adorable in a vapid way.
Back from commercial, Ryan is trying to fight back against Axiom, but a blind tag from Frazer, a Poison Rana into Double Superkicks and a Running Shooting Star is a very close two. Ryan slips a Suplex from Frazer for a Cradle, only two but it gives Ryan space to tag out and Frazer tags out so Nic is riding the hot tag, Stinger Splash into his 10 Shots to the Heart Elbow drops, but Axiom kicks out. Axiom goes for a desperation something and Nic connects with a FAMEasser for two! Enzuigiri from Ryan actually connects, Nic tries a quick pinfall but nope only 2. Ryan tags in and cuts off Axiom while pushing him back into the Kaiba corner.
Nic is trying to keep Axiom grounded, and tags back in Ryan, and its just classic isolation offense. Nothing flashy, oh, Ryan posts himself Nic blind tags but Axiom tags out. Rope Run Lariats, Slingblade, Frog Splash from Frazer but only two! Phoenix Splash attempt misses, Implant DDT from Nic for…two and a half. Nic tries to lift up Frazer, but the twisting Enzuigiri drops Nic and Frazer tags in Axiom. Axiom comes in deliberately, a few strikes, but Nic counters, Superkick on Axiom, Frazer slips and Nic Superkicks Frazer, Danger Zone and Hollywood Ending in stereo! 1-2-KICK OUT! Ryan tries to whip Nic at Axiom, but Axiom moves, Axiom dodges Ryan but then gets grabbed into an Implant DDT from Nic, Ryan tries something but Axiom and Frazer are rolling, Superplex, Golden Ratio, and Nic makes the save! Ryan is looking for something under the ring, Nic admonishes Mokuba for trying to use a chair, Axiom Dropkicks Ryan into Nic, Nic falls out, Ryan eats the finish and Fraxiom retain!
Overall Score: 6.5/10
Well…I can’t be too angry at all of this. Yes the Battle Royale was dumb and really just put a spotlight on how pathetic the Knockouts Division is right now, but Tessa’s promo was solid, Mance and Steph was a good promo, Hardyz was a good match, main event was a good match…and nothing was really offensive. Yes I hate the Jabroni Squad with EY now, but they didn’t talk, much like usual, they barely exist. Ace and Tyson had a decent opening match and I am a little interested in what Mustafa is building.
Also we get another Jeff Hardy pins Moose moment, so if this doesn’t turn into Jeff getting the X Division title shot then I’m gonna be Brooklyn confused. I have also finally figured out what Arianna Grace’s whole gimmick is, its just Ariana Grande’s character from Victorious and Sam & Cat. Since I didn’t really watch it closely (not really my generation, but AJ did have random Nickelodeon crap on growing up) it didn’t click until we’ve been hearing her talk more during the TNA commentary, and she does the same air headed, vapid yet adorable way of speaking and comes across with a measure of innocence.
But yeah, an okay show if you ignore the Knockouts. At least the NXT partnership will bolster the weakest part of TNA since NXT does truly have the most stacked women’s division at the moment.

Griff Garrison & Preston Vance w/ Cole Karter VS Eli Theseus & Gabriel Aeros!

Backstage “interview” with Athena.
Since Lexy Nair was expelled from MIT, Billie Starkz must now stand in as the interviewer. She says The Fallen Goddess has called an Emergency MEM, and Athena finishes the line, “A Minion Empowerment Meeting.” Athena tells Billie to get it together! It is her job now! But hi, minions~! Forget this one, it is all about her! The Athena World Tour is over, but the Athena World Domination has just begun. Tonight will be no different than any other night of her dominating. Isn’t that right, Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths? Yeah! Tag match! They’ll do great! Uh, no, there is no “we” in this. In fact, Athena got that tag match cancelled.
Athena reminds Billie that Lexy being fired was pivotal in Billie’s development and she meant it. So tonight, Billie will sit there, watch Athena some broad in the face, and learn a lesson! Who is Athena? Tell ’em who she is, Billie! Uh, Athena is the Minion Overlord, American Joshi, the… There’s a whole list. Athena tells Billie to just sit there, shut up, and enjoy Athena’s show. Billie sighs and says, “Got it, boss.” As if Athena wasn’t awful to her before, will Billie ever get the respect she deserves?
ROH Women’s World Championship Proving Ground Match: Athena w/ Billie Starkz VS Carolina Cruz!
The Fallen Goddess is 61-0, and that includes never even letting one Proving Ground match reach the ten minute time limit! Will 2025 look no different than 2024, or even 2023? Or can Carolina get ROH under Cruz Control?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and Athena SHOTGUNS Cruz into a corner! Athena then runs up to back body block, then she goes side to side to forearm SMASH! The fans fire up as Athena whips Cruz to ropes, fireman’s carries, and WASTELAND SLAMS! The fans cheer and Athena tells Billie to pay attention. Athena puts Cruz on the ropes, CHOKES her with a cravat, but stops at 4. Billie says she doesn’t think Cruz can breath, and Athena frowns. Athena KICKS Cruz in the side, and she tells Billie this could be her. Billie says she’s been through this already. Cruz fires body shots!
Athena is more annoyed than anything, but then Cruz rolls her up! TWO, and Athena runs up to S T O! Athena rains down fists, HAMMERS away, but the ref counts. Athena shouts that Posey doesn’t tell her what to do! Cruz flounders while Posey cowers back. Athena CLUBS Cruz, UPPERCUTS her, then whips her to ropes. Cruz grabs ropes and BOOTS back! Athena runs up, Cruz slips around to spin and ROCK Athena! Athena swings, but Cruz slips around, BUBBA BOMB! Cover, ONE!! Athena is mad now, but Cruz fires up! Athena blocks the boot to body shot, slip under, and CHOKE SLAM! Athena sits Cruz up to DECK her! High stack cover, Athena wins!
Winner: Athena, by pinfall (denies Carolina Cruz a title opportunity)
The Fallen Goddess’ devastating right hand takes out another one, and then she expects Billie to add on! Billie says she was told to stay seated so she’s staying seated. Athena sets the belt down and drags Cruz over. Athena tells Billie to just shut up and watch. Athena lines up the shot, but Cruz fights back with body shots! Athena staggers away, Billie hurries off, and Athena SUPERKICKS Cruz! Billie tells Athena she’s done enough, but Athena SWINGS Cruz into the railing, and then does it again, and again, and again! Athena keeps going as she dribbles Cruz’s face off the side! Billie pulls Athena off Cruz but Athena shouts that Billie doesn’t tell her what to do!
Athena tells Billie to just sit down and watch! Billie takes her seat again, but now the ref tells Athena to stop. Athena seethes, but she decides to leave it at this. Athena tells Billie to follow her out, and the two leave. Will Billie ever get out from under Athena’s thumb? Will nothing end Athena’s reign of terror?
Sammy Guevara VS Mansoor w/ Mason Madden!
The Spanish God dealt with Aaron Solo last week, but the line of could-be contenders is long. Up next is the Sultan of Suave on behalf of MXM Collection. Will Mansoor be able to bring down this Son of Texas? Or will Sammy check another name off the list?
For the Code of Honor, Mansoor wants to touch fingertips with Sammy, so Sammy goes to accept. But then Mansoor flips him off! Was he watching Blake earlier? The bell rings, Sammy and Mansoor circle, and they tie up. They go around, Mansoor headlocks, but Sammy powers up and out, only for Mansoor to pull Sammy’s hair! Mansoor hits a headlock takeover, then he grinds Sammy down. Mason tries to start a chant of “Let’s Go, Mansoor! You’re the prettiest!” but for one, that’s a sloppy fit for the rhythm.

Mansoor bails out, Sammy spins and poses, and Mansoor is furious! Mansoor rushes up but Sammy DROPKICKS him back down! Sammy then builds speed and FOSBURY FLOPS! Down goes Mansoor and the fans cheer. Sammy says hi to Luna & Mama Tay, then he CHOPS Mansoor!
Sammy puts Mansoor in, but Mansoor distracts the ref so Mason can anchor Sammy! Sammy kicks free but Mansoor anchors Sammy now! Mason poses while Mansoor trips Sammy up. Mansoor ties Sammy’s legs up in the ropes, for a FIGURE FOUR! The ref counts, Mansoor holds until 4, and Mason talks trash on Sammy. The fans boo but Mansoor drags Sammy from the ropes. Mansoor stomps the legs, then he YANKS one! Sammy writhes, Mansoor says that’s an excellent maneuver! Mansoor has Sammy’s leg for a KNEE JAMMER! Sammy writhes, Mansoor mocks his pain, and even hobbles before he POSES!
The fans boo but Mansoor drags Sammy up, only for Sammy to cradle! TWO, and Mansoor kicks the leg! Mansoor hits a FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Mansoor isn’t quite perfect, but he grabs Sammy’s leg to turn him over, HALF CRAB! Sammy endures and the fans rally up! Sammy powers up, turns back over, and he kicks with his fere leg! Mansoor lets go and staggers away. Sammy rises, Mansoor runs up, but Sammy avoids the sweep to ENZIGIRI! Sammy goes to a corner, Mansoor runs up, but Sammy dodges! Mansoor bounces off buckles, into a torture rack! GO TO- NO! Mansoor blocks the knee and trips Sammy!
Mansoor laces up the legs, step over, STEP OVER SHARPSHOOTER! Sammy endures this innovation, but he fights his way to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Mansoor lets go at 4, and he snarls as he storms up on Sammy in the corner. Mansoor stomps the leg, then fires forearms! Mansoor puts the bad leg around ropes and pulls! The ref counts, Mansoor stops at 4, and Mason chants, “Sammy Sucks! Sammy Sucks!” Fans instead chant “Mansoor Sucks! Mansoor Sucks!” But Mansoor then points out how he has Sammy’s legs open, a la The Natural! The ref says Mansoor can’t do this! Mansoor takes a deep breath, then runs up, but into a DROPKICK!
The fans fire up as Sammy JABS! JABS! JABS! Flip, flop, and fly, BIONIC ELBOW! The fans fire up and Sammy blocks a kick to DRAGON SCREW! Mansoor hobbles for real now, and Sammy KICKS out the leg! And then he KICKS the leg again! Sammy runs up but Mansoor KICKS the bad leg! Mansoor goes up, reels Sammy in, but Sammy fights to SUPER DRAGON SCREW! The ref checks Mansoor and Mason storms in! Sammy dodges and the leg lariat gets caught up on the ropes! The fans fire up as Sammy shakes the ropes, jamming up Mason’s runway! Sammy then CHOPS Mason down! But Mansoor rolls Sammy up! ONE, but Mansoor has the leg!
Sammy cradles, rolls through, and he steps through! FIGURE FOUR! Mansoor flails, Mansoor TAPS, Sammy wins!
Winner: Sammy Guevara, by submission
Mansoor tried to mock Dustin Rhodes, but Sammy showed MXM what he learned from The Natural! However, Mason is back! Sammy spots him so he backs up, only for Mansoor to CHOP BLOCK Sammy’s leg! The fans boo but MXM stomp away! Mansoor drags Sammy up, time to kill him fashionably! CENTERFOLD!! Mansoor covers, Mason counts it, and “three!” MXM declare themselves the ROH World Tag Team Champions, but will Dustin make sure he and Sammy humble them?

Fatal 4 Way Tag: The Outrunners VS The Dark Order VS Grizzled Young Veterans VS The Premier Athletes!
While MXM Collection beat down Sammy, the chase for the ROH Tag Team Championships never ends. Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd, Evil Uno & Alex Reynolds, Zack Gibson & James Drake, or Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari, which duo will- Sigh, of course Mark Sterling has to cut off Bobby Cruise… “Everybody knows that we are The Premier Athletes, and this is Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari. Now folks, we’ve decided to let the people of Jacksonville take part in our pregame cheer. However, based on our history, I must inform you that if you get it incorrect, I will be suing every single one of you!
“So, when I say, ‘Athletes,’ you say, ‘Rule,’ nothing else! Hands in, boys. Ohhh… Athletes!” “SUCK!!” There’s no way Sterling has enough paper and ink to print out that many lawsuits. But will Nese & Daivari find a way to defy the odds? Or will another team be poised for a title opportunity?

And they BLAST Reynolds off the apron! They clinch Turbo for the ENZIGIR, then the ASSISTED SLICED BREAD! Cover, Nese & Daivari break it!
The GYV and Premier Athletes argue, but then they realize, they should take Turbo out first! But Truth jumps in, so the Outrunners stand against everybody! The fans fire up as Truth & Turbo fire haymaker after haymaker! They DECK Nese, DECK Drake, DECK Daivari and DECK Gibson! Gibson gets up, but the Outrunners DOUBLE LARIAT him out! Drake runs up, but he misses the enzigiri! Scoop and TOTAL RECALL!! Cover, OUTRUNNERS WIN!
Winners: The Outrunners, by pinfall
The Youngest Men Alive keep their ROH win streak alive! They took down three top tier teams, but will they be THE team to win some tag team gold?
My Thoughts:
A really good episode of ROH here, clearly part of the AEW Homecoming visit, and was only an hour and 11 minutes. I’m rather surprised there was no ROH Rewind, but that’s either because they couldn’t find a match that best relates to what’s going on right now, or they don’t feel they need it to fill time anymore. Athena was back, and she of course talks down to Billie. I almost thought Billie was going to stand up to her again, and this story can’t go another year. I feel like they kept the ROH Women’s World Championship on Athena given she was going to Japan and would look stronger as champion at WrestleDynasty and the Stardom events, but she really should drop it to Billie at Supercard.
Good match from Blake VS Priest, and I like that the spirit of Blue Pants lives on. Like, Priest gets an introduction, so the fans either don’t listen or they just like that he wore blue pants. Good win for Blake, though, and Vanilla Choke Zero is both a hilarious and clever name, and also a great hold. Good stuff with this growing “fraternity faction” story, Jameson showing up and then helping out, not costing them, is some rather surprising stuff. They didn’t beat Jameson up so maybe Griff, Vance & Karter let him stay as their manager. Still a shame that the Iron Savages are no more, but TK wasn’t exactly building them, so what else was going to happen?
Lee got his win thanks to EJ, but not before Jon Davis had a good showing. Very good match from Sammy VS Mansoor, and while Sammy got a win, I feel like MXM will still get a title shot from what they did to Sammy. Very good Women’s TV title match, especially with a rare Heel VS Heel situation. But naturally Velvet got the win, she’s building momentum while waiting on Leyla. And the Fatal 4 Way was a lot of fun. With Outrunners being very popular, it made sense they’d win here, but I was honestly expecting GYV given they’re Heels and we’re still dealing with Face tag champs. Still good stuff for Turbo & Truth, they might just be in a holding pattern while the ROH and AEW tag title stories are all spoken for.
My Score: 8.6/10
