PLAY BY PLAY
Filling in for Joe Tessitore is Vic Joseph!
“Tess” is on “special assignment,” but Wade Barrett doesn’t mind having his old NXT compatriot here for SmackDown.
Cody Rhodes is here!
The American Nightmare is in America’s capital city, and Washington, DC is fired up to see him! They sing along with the song, “WHOA~ OH~!” We get the pyro and the Undisputed WWE Champion hugs and high-fives fans as he goes down the ramp. Cody goes to the ring, we get the second “WHOA~ OH~!” and pyro, and the fans fire up even more! The fans cheer Cody on as he grabs a mic, and then he holds up the title to fire the fans up more. Cody lets things settle down, then he asks Washington, DC, “What do we wanna talk about?” How about the Road to WrestleMania is going through Elimination Chamber.
Last Monday, the giant news that Cody’s friend, Jey Uso, “YEET!” has selected Gunther to wrestle for the World Heavyweight Championship. Now, all eyes are fixed on the Elimination Chamber, and who will wrestle Cody in the main event for THE Undisputed WWE Championship. Cody ponders who it will be. Fans chant “C M PUNK!” but Cody says maybe it’ll be the natural athlete, Logan Paul. Fans boo that name hard. Cody asks what about his friend, the Voice of the Voiceless, CM Punk? The fans cheer that name! There is also Drew McIntyre, who gets a mixed reaction, and the Greatest Of All Time, John Cena.
Fans definitely cheer Cena, and Cody says it definitely won’t be Solo Sikoa. Solo has not qualified for the Chamber, who is not in any qualifier to come, and knows that when it comes to this ring, 1v1, how it is with him and Cody. And Cody thinks that Samoan Spike last week wasn’t really for Cody. But hold on, here comes Drew McIntyre! The fans are still torn seeing the Scottish Terminator in person as he smirks and gets his own pyro. McIntyre goes to the ring, keeps his eyes on Cody, then grabs a mic for himself. Cody keeps his eyes on McIntyre while fans either boo or say “DREW~!” McIntyre then tells Cody, “‘Also, Drew McIntyre.’ That’s all I get?”
Cody says okay, that is fair. This is WrestleMania season, everyone has a lot on their mind. Does McIntyre want that one more time? How about we do this one more time? Cody says this is for Drew. “And also, DREW! MCINTYRE~!” The fans are still very torn, but McIntyre says he’s also someone who won the Chamber, once as a champion. A multiple time world champion, Royal Rumble winner, Mr. Money in the Bank. Accolades aside, is this the same Drew McIntyre who just last month stood in this ring and hugged Cody, because he was worried Cody was going to a dark place, and then Cody tried to fight him?
Is this also the McIntyre that when he was handling business with Sami Zayn, Cody attacked? Is that the McIntyre Cody thinks of? McIntyre says he didn’t want things to go this way, but Cody made it personal, so McIntyre will have to remind Cody just who Drew McIntyre is. Oh, is that so? Cody can count on one hand the men who have defeated him since his WWE return, and McIntyre is one of them. Cody did not forget. Wait, here come Jacob Fatu & Tama Tonga! The Samoan Werewolf has the mic as he leads the way down to the ring. They join Cody and McIntyre in the ring, and DC chants for “FATU! FATU!”
Jacob says, “Ey yo, Drew! You already got your spot in the Chamber. Now see me? I’m all gas, no brakes tonight. So when it comes to Priest and Braun, I’m ’bout to DOG WALK they ass! And when I get done running through those two, then I’ll earn my way into the Chamber. And after that, I’m gonna WrestleMania with it!” The fans like the sound of that. Jacob says then when he’s done with WrestleMania, he’s bringing that title back home to his family, where it should’ve never left…! McIntyre smirks and says, “Y’know what I think? I think this is something that people wanna see. I think people wanna see a psychopath and a werewolf throw down int he Nation’s Capital right now!”
The fans cheer, but McIntyre says it won’t happen here, he has his spot. Cody, Jacob wants to talk to you. McIntyre takes his leave, smirking as he goes. Cody and Jacob stare down now, even as Jacob circles around Cody. Cody tells Jacob to just say when. But here’s when: After Jacob qualifies for The Chamber, and after he defeats everyone in there, then Cody and Jacob can fight over this title! The fans rally and duel, but then we see something on the tron! A vehicle pulls into the building, and it’s SOLO SIKOA! The former chief is all in white, but Jacob tells now, now, Cody. If anyone talks to Solo, it’s Jacob first! That’s family business.
Cody says Jacob can get the first word, but he’ll get the last. Jacob & Tama head out, will they do anything but acknowledge Solo?
SmackDown returns and…
The Good Bad Guy & Samoan Werewolf are searching backstage. Tama asks a stagehand if he’s seen Solo, and he directs Tama further down the hall. But then Jacob CLOBBERS the guy anyway! Will Solo only get worse when his former henchmen find him?
Women’s Elimination Chamber Qualifier: Naomi w/ Bianca Belair VS Chelsea Green w/ Piper Niven!
It was just last week that The EST beat the “Secret Her-vice” to qualify for the Women’s Elimination Chamber match, and now The Glow looks to do the same to The Hot Mess! Will both Women’s Tag Team Champions be in the big match? Or will the Women’s United States Champion chase even more gold?
Wade Barrett interviews Trish Stratus at ringside, and welcomes the living legend back. Trish returning to the Rumble blew the roof off the place, so #ThankYouTrish! But now to look forward. In Trish’s hometown of Toronto, it will be the Elimination Chamber event. Is she going to make an appearance there, too? Trish says it was great to bring some Stratusfaction to the Royal Rumble. And entering at Number 25 was a great way to kick off her 25th anniversary as a WWE superstar. And to answer the question, the Chamber is one of the most exciting events, it is where the Road to WrestleMania is finalized, and yes, it is in her hometown this year.
So Trish will be there. The thing is, will she be watching from a seat? Or a suite? Trish keeps us guessing, but here comes Chelsea. The bell rings and Naomi slips around Chelsea to O’Conner Roll! TOW, and Naomi rolls Chelsea up, TWO! Chelsea swings, but into a crucifix takedown! TWO, and Chelsea throws a fit! Chelsea SLAPS Naomi, rolls her up, TWO! Chelsea drags Naomi up, whips, but Naomi slides under the lariat! Then she MULE KICKS, ROUNDHOUSES, and AX KICKS! Then a LEG DROP! Cover, TWO! Chelsea scrambles away, Naomi storms up to SPANK her!

Chelsea keeps cool as she stalks Naomi to ropes. Chelsea CHOKES Naomi more, then lets off as the ref counts. Chelsea has Piper help with her eyelashes, then she digs her boots into Naomi! The ref counts, Chelsea lets off, then she RAMS into Naomi! And again! And again! Chelsea puts Naomi up top, CHOPS her, then tells fans to take pictures of this. Chelsea climbs up, then blows kisses.

Sami Zayn speaks.
“So, I have not been doing great. I know people have been waiting for an update, and I apologize for not getting one out sooner. But I’m sure most of you have heard by now that my neck is not doing too well. There’s been some nerve damage, and I’m seeing specialists and this and that. Um… But I think the last couple of weeks have been particularly tough, just trying to come to terms with everything that’s happened here with Kevin and myself. Cuz yeah, y’know, it’s almost become a joke, how many times Kevin has turned on me, or maybe I’ve turned on him, or whatever. It almost seems like an inevitability of our relationship.
“But this one was different. I know that, and Kevin, I know you know that. We both know exactly what you were trying to do with the Package Piledriver. That wasn’t about trying to get ahead or sending a message, that was trying to end my career. And for what? That’s what I keep struggling with. Over what? Over a wrestling match? Over me not helping you win a wrestling match? You didn’t see me sprinting out there, with tears in my eyes, checking on you as you lay there motionless? Bleeding? Me screaming at the doctors, ‘Is he okay? Is he gonna be okay? Get him some help!’ Because to me, that’s being there for someone. That’s what I thought being there for someone is.
“For you, it’s, you know, I should’ve pushed Cody Rhodes off the ladder, helped you cheat to win a match. So, I guess we just look at things differently there. But look, the long and short of it is, I dunno when I’ll be cleared. But when I am, Kevin… Me and you are gonna go again. And I’m telling you now, it’s not gonna be fun. I’ll see you soon.” Sami has given The Prizefighter his response, when and where will we see these two tear it up again?
Motor City Machine Guns VS Los Garza!
Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin were screwed out of the WWE Tag Team Championships by The Street Profits, but that grudge will have to wait, as Angel y Berto want to settle things with them first. Will Los Garza make Legado proud? Or will MCMG reload and be ready for The Profits?
SmackDown returns and Legado makes their entrance. Santos Escobar sees his hermanos to the ring and says they’ve got this. Angel and Sabin start, the bell rings, and Angel kicks low! Angel CLUBS Sabin, whips him, but Sabin ducks ‘n’ dodges! Shelley sneaks a tag, Sabin victory rolls and then holds Angel up, Shelley PENALTY KICKS Angel while he’s upside-down!

Winners: Motor City Machine Guns, by pinfall
Los Garza brought that fire, but they couldn’t burn down Motor City! Will Sabin & Shelley make sure Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins feel some of that heat?
Damian Priest speaks.
“I don’t need to tell you who I am. That’s what the last four years of living on Raw were for. I made it to the top. I ain’t taking a back seat to nobody on SmackDown. You could be a friend, an enemy, but that bell rings, I don’t know yo’ ass. I don’t need a leader, I don’t need a crew. This is me and only me, cuz that’s all I’ve ever needed. Y’all better be ready for punishment, because anarchy has arrived.” Will the Archer of Infamy be able to shoot down two monsters at once? Or will one of them survive and enter the Elimination Chamber?
Jacob & Tama are still searching.
And now Jacob is just shouting for Solo to show himself, we all know he’s here! Jacob is throwing stuff around, but then there he is. Jacob asks Solo what the hell is going on, and what the hell this is! He’s been trying to talk to Solo for a minute. Solo says listen, he needed time off. Ever since losing the ula fala to Roman, he has not been himself. Solo let them down, and he let the family down. Do they have any idea how that feels? But he is okay now. He is ready to go, ready to take over this business, just like they did before. The only way they do that is together as one. But it starts with Jacob winning his qualifier, winning the Chamber, and then bringing that title back to the family.
Does Jacob have Solo’s back? Jacob turns to go but Solo grabs his arm. Solo tells Jacob, “I love you, Jacob.” Jacob doesn’t say anything back, and even Tama is surprised. Tama leaves without a word, going with Jacob. Is this all a little too late from the would-be Tribal Chief?
Shinsuke Nakamura is here!
The King of Strong Style has been a sinister samurai, lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike. He puts his helmet aside to grab a mic, and he says in Japanese, then translates to English, “Four weeks, I have waited. Four weeks, I have watched from the shadow, praying for a worthy challenge. A warrior to test me!” However… No warriors are here on SmackDown! No one is worthy! No one rises above this sickness. Just the same weaklings consumed with the approval of the mindless- WAIT! LA Knight is here! The Mega Star has a mic of his own, and he tells DC, “LEMME TALK TO YA!” “YEAH!”
“Look at ol’ Shin here, playing Two Lies and a Truth!” Nakamura says he’s been hiding in the shadows. “YEAH!” That’s the truth, Nakamura’s been hiding. But then he was praying for a contender? And that he was looking for a test? WRONG! Biggest bunch of BS that Knight’s ever heard! Last time they were in this ring, Knight planted Nakamura in the mat and the three count was there. But then all it took was half the Isles of Samoa and Tonga to take that way from Knight. And since then, Knight’s beat every cross-eyed halfwit that’s stepped to him on a quest to come back for that championship.
But you wanna talk about tests for the title? The test right now is looking at you, standing here, and Nakamura, you’ve already failed that test, with everybody saying- “AWESOME~!” The Miz is here!? From Mega Star to Hollywood A-Lister, Miz says the fans still go for that shtick, huh? He has to admit, he was wrong, and he’s not wrong very often. Miz said Knight was a flash in the pan, but here we are, the fans are eating out of the palm of Knight’s hand. It just kinda proves one thing: the fans aren’t educated. DC boos Miz but Miz says yeah, yeah, they’re not smart. They’re basic, basic, basic.
Miz sees what Shinsuke sees, and that is that Knight and nobody else is worthy. Y’know who is? Oh, hold on, Miz, Knight has this one. Miz is gonna say himself, right? Or that he is a Grand Slam Champion, former US Champion, that he beat Cena in the main event of WrestleMania, hehe~! But talk about the same old shtick! Miz has been using that for 10 years now, and it has been about that long since Miz was relevant. But Knight also has to say, he is happy to see Miz here. Knight forgot Miz was even on SmackDown! Knight was sure the fans wanted to forget. So here, take a page out of Cena’s book, and start a farewell tour, because we’re all ready to see Miz go away.
The fans chant “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” and “GO AWAY!” Miz fakes being sad as he says, “You all want me to go away?” Miz fake sobs and says he can’t believe he’s crying on national television! But on Knight’s PSA, he said it was okay for men to cry~! Knight smirks as Miz play sit up, and that’s not bad. Miz is right, Knight said it was okay. When it rises to that occasion. But it is just like Miz to miss the point. The point was, there is a line where you go too far. And if we’re talking about crybabies, at the very TOP of that list of all time crybaby B*TCHES, it is Miz and McIntyre neck and neck! The fans cheer that!
Miz says at least he’s been at the top. He’s been at the top over and over, and why does he tout that resume? Because guys like Knight don’t measure up! When the dust settles on The Miz’s career, his resume stands alone. Can Knight say the same? Or will he crumble when fans stop chanting his name and we see there’s nothing below the surface? Knight is NOT on Miz’s radar! And if Cena can call his shot, then Miz can call his! He wants his shot at the US Championship! The fans boo that, but Miz says he came to Smackdown with new purpose: elevate a title and forge his way to WrestleMania! And Knight will be the guy on the outside looking in, just like he has his entire career.
Knight laughs that off and asks if Miz said “Not on my radar.” Miz mentioned something Knight said just last week, so Miz must be watching everything Knight does. Thanks for that, appreciated. But when Miz talks about the idea of, why does Knight deserve the shot? Well, the man who was the champ before Knight, you look at the man who’s champ now, put their total title defenses together, and you get a HUNDRETH of what Knight was doing! He was defending that baby every single week! The fans cheer, and Knight says what that means, as much as he wants the title, that title NEEDS him! Knight makes that thing shine!
But Miz? Man, you ever met yourself, Miz? You SUCK! Miz is the most impotent dork! Is this man championship material? NAH-NAH! Miz takes a swing, but Knight catches him! Miz slips free of the BFT then he goes to the ramp! Miz throws off his jacket, gets back in the ring, but then stays back. Nick Aldis hurries out here and tells everyone to hold on. These guys make friends everywhere they go, don’t they? But it seems obvious to Aldis that Knight and Miz want a fight, and that Nakamura is looking for a challenger. So DC, you picking up what Aldis is putting down? “YEAH!” They thinking what he’s thinking? “YEAH!”
Then how about tonight, Miz VS Knight, and really, it’s right now. Now that is must-see! But who will be saying “YEAH!” to a US Championship opportunity in the near future?
LA Knight VS The Miz!
SmackDown returns and the match is underway. Knight whips, Miz reverses, but Knight dodges and Miz hits buckles! Knight stomps a mudhole, “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight stops as the ref counts, then he runs corner to corner to KNEE Miz down! Nakamura is still watching from ringside as Knight covers, ONE! Knight drags Miz up to whip, but Miz KICKS! Miz CHOPS, whips, but Knight goes up and over! Knight then scoops for a POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! The fans rally behind Knight while he watches Miz rise up. Kick and B F- NO, Miz powers out again! Miz then FLAPJACKS Knight onto ropes!
Knight flops back, and Nakamura is not impressed as Miz CHOKES Knight on ropes. The ref counts, Miz stops, but then Miz CHOKES Knight again! Miz even fishhooks Knight’s face! Miz stops to run and STRADDLE ATTACK! Knight flops back again, but Miz stomps Knight. Miz runs to basement BOOT! Cover, TWO! Miz clamps onto Knight with more fishhooks, then he throws down elbows! Miz clamps on a chinlock now, but the fans rally as Knight endures. Knight fights up, throws body shots, then swings, but into the dragon sleeper! A-LISTER COMBINATION! Cover, TWO! Knight survives the backbreaker to neckbreaker and the fans rally.
Knight goes to a corner, Miz is annoyed, but Miz storms up to bring Knight around. Knight counter punches again and again! But Miz throat chops! Miz runs but Knight DUMPS him out! Knight runs to WRECK Miz with a dropkick! Nakamura steps aside for Miz to hit the desk! Knight then DRIBBLES Miz off the desk! Knight makes sure to glance over at Nakamura with each one! Then Knight winds up, and he SMACKS Miz off the desk one more time! Knight tells Nakamura to try something. Miz YANKS Knight into the desk! And then THROWS him into steel steps! Miz snarls while SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Miz refreshes the ring count to then drag Knight up. Miz scoops Knight to hit SNAKE EYES off the barriers! Miz soaks up heat from DC, points to the WrestleMania sign then points at Nakamura. Miz stalks Knight into the ring, swaggers over, then kicks him down low! Knight goes to a corner, Miz stomps him, then argues with the ref about the ropebreak count. Miz brings Knight up, reels him in, and he mocks the fans, before he spells out “M! I! Z! YEAH!” Suplex, but Knight lands out to NECKBREAKAR! Cover, TWO! Knight whips, Miz reverses, kitchen sink knee! Miz basement BOOTS! Cover, TWO!
Knight survives and Miz grows frustrated. Miz stalks Knight, HIP DROPS him, then reels him into a CAMEL CLUTCH! Knight endures, Nakamura still isn’t impressed, but Knight fights up. Knight has Miz as a backpack, and he RAMS Miz into a corner! Knight then whips corner to corner, but Miz reverses! Miz runs up to kick low again! Miz whips, Knight reverses, but Miz puts Knight on the apron! Miz then slides under to YANK Knight down! Miz steals some popcorn from a fan! After having a snack, Miz puts Knight back in the ring. Miz soaks up heat, SmackDown returns to single picture, and Miz hauls Knight up.
Miz hits a back suplex, Knight lands out! Knight back suplexes but Miz fights free! Miz swings, Knight dodges, and Knight LARIATS! Knight then pushes Miz to a corner, Miz hits buckles, JUMPING NECKBREAKER! Knight whips, scoops, and POWERSLAMS! Then the ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Miz survives and maybe now Nakamura seems to care? Knight scoops Miz, Miz slips free, and Miz puts Knight in a corner. Knight BOOTS Miz, goes up, but Miz YANKS Knight down! Knight hits buckles, Miz hits the A-LIST LARIAT! Then FLATLINER! Cover, TWO! Knight survives, the fans rally, but Miz waits on Knight.
Knight sits up, ducks the buzzsaw, and he fireman’s carries! Miz fights free, full nelsons, but Knight slips down! Victory roll, TWO! Miz has it, TWO! Miz is sent into buckles! Knight rolls Miz, Miz rolls through, BASEMENT DDT! Cover, TWO! Knight survives again and Miz is frustrated. The fans rally harder for Knight, but Miz stands up and calls for the end! But Knight fights the Finale to RAM Miz into a corner! Knight fires elbows again and again, then gets space. But Miz BOOTS him! Miz runs up, into a scoop, but Miz slips free, into a B F T!! Knight goes to the corner, and he caps it off with the “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!!” DOUBLE JUMP ELBOW DROP!! Cover, Knight wins!
Winner: LA Knight, by pinfall
Knight tells the samurai that they’re going to have their fight next, but then Nakamura steps into the ring! Nakamura dares Knight to come for the title now! Knight tells Nakamura to bring the fight, and the two go face to face. They talk some trash, but then Nakamura backs down. Will nothing keep Knight from getting his revenge on Nakamura? Or will nothing stop the King of Strong Style’s reign?
Nia Jax and Candice LeRae talk backstage.
But then in steps Alexa Bliss. She just wants to say hi, and to wish Nia luck against Tiffany tonight. Surely she’ll do better than Candice. Nia has Candice stand down, and says Nia will be fine. She’s familiar with former friends betraying her. Oh, funny Nia says that. Because Lily and Alexa were just talking about how if Nia wins the title back tonight, and then Alexa wins Elimination Chamber, there’s a chance they’ll be facing each other again. Wyatt Sick6 imagery flashes on screen… and Alexa says how fun would it be for them to have another WrestleMania match? Okay, good luck!
Alexa leaves, Nia & Candice say that was rude. But will something a bit more…twisted… happen on this Road to WrestleMania?
Miz returns backstage.
Andrade finds him and tells Miz he watched that match. If Miz wants, Andrade can teach Miz something. Just let him know. El Idolo heads out and Miz doesn’t appreciate his words being thrown back at him. But then Carmelo Hayes walks in, and he says it’s too bad. Guys like Andrade don’t respect talent like him and Miz. Yeah, Melo is right! Melo & Miz should show them! They can team up! Team Melo Don’t Miz! Uh… No. Melo moves on, Miz feels even more foolish. But will the A-Lister figure out his own road to WrestleMania?
Carmelo Hayes VS R-Truth!
While Melo Don’t Miss, Truth tends to miss the point in more ways than one. But will Truth show H1M what’s up? Or will Melo look like a Wizard here in DC?
The bell rings and Melo fires fists on Truth right away! The fans boo but Melo ROCKS Truth, whips him, but Truth turns hip toss into HIP TOSS! What’s Up!? Truth fires hands, then whips, but Melo ducks ‘n’ dodges to springboards, FADEAWAY LARIAT! The fans boo but Melo shoots his free throw.

Melo shoves Truth, Truth ducks but Melo reels him in, BLINDSIDE LARIAT! Melo goes up the corner again, takes aim again, and Truth finally stands, for NOTHING BUT NET!! Cover, Melo wins!
Winner: Carmelo Hayes, by pinfall
Melo tried to tell Truth that he is H1M, and maybe it’ll sink in after this. Will Melo keep hitting game winners like that until he’s a champion?
The Street Profits speak.
Angelo Dawkins says, “Well, well, well well well. It seems like we ruffled a few feathers. I dunno what y’all mad for, we was just telling y’all the truth. If anybody should be mad, it should be us. We promised each other we’d never let grudges consume us. But we blame y’all for making us a liar. SO… When I’m fully cleared, Pretty Deadly, Los Garza, Motor City, DIY, y’all get in our way, we put you in the dirt!” Montez Ford fires up, and he says, “Yes! I love that! The passion! But you know what? They gon’ know. They gon’ know, they gon’ know, they gon’ know this frustration that’s been burning deep within us for years.
“Just showing up like everything’s fine, like everything’s happy, when it’s NOT OKAY! Nothing is okay! It’s finally gonna be shown to the world. My Lord, have mercy on all their souls. Because nothing changed, because we want the smoke.” When and where will The Profits get that smoke by burning down the reset of SmackDown’s Tag Division?
Backstage interview with Pretty Deadly.
Byron Saxton is with Kit Wilson & Elton Prince, and brings up The Profits’ hitlist of tag teams. This is one of those teams, and last week, they secured a victory to earn a tag team championship match with DIY. How do they feel going into next week’s match? Elton says they feel exquisite! Like two tasty snacks! Kit says with that said, MCMG, Profits, DIY, know that Pretty Deadly is done being underestimated. But then DIY walks in and Gargano says “No, boy, no.” Ciampa tells Byron to exit, and DIY talks with Pretty Deadly. Gargano wants them to understand, they are disappointed. Didn’t they have something special here? And Pretty Deadly threw it all away.
Elton says they didn’t throw anything away, they just stood up for themselves. And for what? A cheap victory? Pretty Deadly caught DIY with their pants down! Uh, they were wearing pants. Exactly! That’s Gargano’s point! You’ve seen Gargano’s ring gear, he doesn’t wear pants. They weren’t ready. Ciampa says DIY was good to Pretty Deadly. But now, next week is on them. So their dreams of becoming the next WWE Tag Team Champions are dead. And after next week, DIY will give Pretty Deadly a proper moment of silence. DIY heads out, Pretty Deadly isn’t intimidated. Will Kit & Elton finally bring back the #SideplateCheck?
Kevin Owens speaks.
“So you’re not doing good, huh? I’m not doing good. Because in the last six months, I was stabbed in the back and had my heart broken by three guys I loved, three guys I considered brothers. Three guys I would’ve taken a bullet for! And Sami, now you… You sit there and talk about the pain you’re in, how your neck is hurt. You have no idea. You don’t know what real pain is. But, um… I’ll show you. Yeah, I’ll show you. You say you wanna go again, me and you?” Kevin has a frustrated laugh and says that’s great, perfect. They’ll do that. And he can’t think of a better place than where it all started for them: Canada.
Cleared or not, Kevin doesn’t care. Toronto, Elimination Chamber, come find him. Then Sami will know pain. The challenge has been made, will nothing stop these best frenemies from tearing each other apart once and for all?
WWE Women’s Championship: Tiffany Stratton VS Nia Jax w/ Candice LeRae!
Miss Money in the Bank cashed in and put WWE on #TiffyTime, but the Queen of the Ring wants to turn the clock back to when it was her time. Will the Irresistible Force be unstoppable on this Road to WrestleMania? Or will Tiffany survive a Valentine’s Day massacre?
SmackDown returns, and we see Charlotte Flair is watching from backstage as Tiff makes her entrance. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see whose time it really is!
The bell rings and the two tie up. Nia picks Tiff up to RAM her into the corner, then RAMS her again and again! Nia soaks up the heat as she lets off, then goes back to Tiff in the corner. Nia TOSSES Tiff across the way, then runs up to SPLASH in the corner! Tiff sputters but Nia TOSSES her, only for Tiff to cartwheel through! Tiff then goes Matrix, kips up, and then drop- NO, Nia is too big for the drop toehold! Nia whips Tiff, POP-UP HEADBUTTS her down, then covers, TWO! The fans rally for Tiff but Nia pie faces her.

Tiff goes to the ropes, the fans rally, but Nia CHOKES Tiff by sitting on her! Nia steps away while the fans boo, but Nia stalks Tiff around the ring.
Nia stands Tiff up but Tiff fires forearms! Nia SHOVES Tiff to a corner, scoops her, and SLAMS her! Nia runs to drop a LEG, brother! Cover, TWO! Tiff survives and Nia seethes, but DC continues to rally. Nia stands Tiff up, POSTS her again, and Charlotte is stoic as she watches this. Nia goes out to HIP ATTACK Tiff against the post!

SmackDown returns again and Nia has Tiff down with a COBRA CLUTCH! Tiff endures, fights up, and JAWBREAKERS free! Tiff fires forearms, then runs, but Nia pops her up! Tiff fights the bomb with fists, then slips around, SUSNET FLIP BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Nia survives that rough landing, but Tiff SLAPS her down! Tiff and Nia both stand, Tiff fires a forearm, then shoves, for a SKY HIGH!? Cover, TWO! Tiff hurries to TIFFY STOMP!! Cover, TWO!! Nia survives again and Tiff grows frustrated. DC rallies behind Tiff and she drags Nia up. Tiff fires forearms but Nia shoves her away. Tiff runs up, handsprings, but into an URENAGE!
Candice applauds, Nia says time’s up! LEG DROP, brother!! Cover, TWO!! Tiff survives again and Nia is beside herself! Charlotte seems nonplussed as Nia hauls Tiff up.

Nia drags Tiff to a drop zone, then she goes up, up, and grins as she SUPER LEG DROPS!! Cover, TWO?!?! Tiff survives and no one can believe it, least of all Nia! Charlotte is somehow still stoic as she watches this continue, but SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and Nia runs up, only for Tiff to POST her! Nia tumbles out of the ring, and Tiff climbs a corner! How very Charlotte of Tiff to ARIHARA MOONSAULT! Direct hit and the fans are thunderous again! Tiff puts Nia back in the ring, then she climbs up, for a SWANTON BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Nia survives, Candice is relieved, but Tiff and DC cannot believe it! Nia drags herself up with ropes, Tiff storms up to her, and Tiff fireman’s carries?! But Nia’s too big! SPLAT! Nia grins, and she DRIBBLES Tiff off the mat! Nia slaps Tiff away, she wants her to feel this! Nia puts Tiff in the drop zone, then grins as she goes up the corner.
But Tiff gets under Nia! Nia holds onto ropes, and she HEADBUTTS Tiff down! But then Tiff flounders away before the A-Nia-Lator lands! The fans fire up as Tiff still has a chance! Tiff fires forearms, but Nia fireman’s carries! Tiff slips free, ducks a lariat, then hits a SKY HIGH again!! Tiff fires up and she goes up, up, and CANDICE ATTACKS?!
Winner: Tiffany Stratton, by disqualification (still WWE Women’s Champion)
Candice just cost Nia the title, but now it’s about getting even with Tiff! Candice holds Tiff in place for Nia to SPALSH in the corner! Nia puts Tiff back in the drop zone, then A-NIA-LATES her!! Nia tells Candice to grab a chair and the Poison Pixie does Nia’s bidding! The chair is put in, but TRISH STRATUS gets in there! She CHUCKS Candice, then SHOVES Nia down! The fans are thunderous for the Hall of Famer, but Candice storms back in! Trish fires off on Candice, but Nia is back! Nia SPLASHES Trish!! Producers, refs, and security rush out here, but the damage has been down to Trish. Nia isn’t done with Tiff, though! LEG DROP!!
The fans boo but Nia grins. Will the evil queen and her little pixie sidekick still take over the WWE? Wait, speaking of queens, Charlotte finally makes her way out here! She ignores Nia as she goes to the ring. Someone holds the ropes open for Charlotte and she steps inside. Charlotte walks past Tiff to grab a mic, and then she stands over Tiff while fans either “WOO~” or boo. Charlotte sees the chair, she picks it up, and she uses it to take a seat. Charlotte tells Tiffy, “Wake up~! Tiffy~! Blink if you can hear me, Tiffy. Wake up, Tiffy~. It’s still Tiffy Time~. Sit up if you can, Tiffy.” Tiff still seems rather dazed, but Charlotte tells her, “The Queen chooses you. I’ll see you at WrestleMania.”
Mic drop and card set, it is Queen of Flair VS Princess Tiffy! But who will reign supreme when these two meet in Sin City?
Nick Aldis is on the phone.
And he is not happy. But he tells whoever this is that he has to handle other business, they’ll talk again later. Aldis hangs up, and he welcomes in Bianca & Naomi. He thanks them for taking this time. To get to it, there has been a development in the Jade Cargill situation. Finally! What is it? Aldis says an anonymous tip came in, which includes a video, seemingly recorded on cellphone. Not sure who sent it or how they got this footage, but he’ll share it with us now. It plays on the screen, and it is as Jade is being loaded onto the ambulance. While Bianca & Naomi were rushing out there to check on Jade, we pan over and… LIV & RAQUEL!?
It was Judgment Day all along! Naomi says she knew it! She told us all, and yet people wanted to say it was her! Bianca calms Naomi down and says she also knew it was never Naomi. Thank you, Aldis, for showing what we already knew. Aldis says hold on, we don’t really know if it was Judgment Day. They need to talk with Adam Pearce, no jumping to conclusions. Who even needs to make that call? Bianca & Naomi will go to Raw, see Liv & Raquel, and handle this themselves! Now, everyone else owes them an apology. The WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions head out, will their title match be two birds with one stone?
Tiff returns backstage.
Byron is there, and he apologizes for bothering her after everything she just went through out there. But on top of what Nia did, Charlotte now chose Tiff for WrestleMania. What is her reaction? Tiff says trust her, Charlotte will know it’s #TiffyTime. But it’s a little hard to focus on WrestleMania after what Candice & Nia did. But then in steps Trish Stratus! Trish knows Tiff has a big problem with Nia & Candice after her. So Trish was just thinking, maybe Trish & Tiff VS Nia & Candice in Toronto for Elimination Chamber? Tiff asks if that means it’ll be Tiffy & Trishy Time in Toronto. Yeah, that’s what Trish is saying.
Tiff is all for this! Will TS Squared make sure Nia & Candice learn a thing or two about respect? Or will Nia & Candice add defeating a living legend to their accolades?
Jimmy Uso is watching backstage.
He’s fired up for Jey Uso calling out Gunther for WrestleMania, but then the mood is ruined when McIntyre steps in. McIntyre says pretty cool, huh? Charlotte VS Tiff for WrestleMania, Jey VS Gunther for WrestleMania, and imagine if Jimmy had won last week. How big would that be, huh? Both brothers fighting for the top titles on the Grandest Stage of Them All! Not that it’ll happen now because McIntyre won his spot in the Chamber, will win that, then beat Cody for the title. YEET-Mania running wild while NO YEET Mania will have his feet up on the couch at home.
But hey, here’s some advice. McIntyre used to be just like Jimmy, all angry and what not. Jimmy is angry now, right? McIntyre can see it in his eyes. So here’s the advice: Sure, Jimmy’s career has gone really, really, really, really, really, really down the toilet, but hey, he married up! Jimmy walks away, McIntyre asks “Jey” if it was something he said. Oh, sorry~! He meant- SUPERKICK!! Jimmy gets McIntyre right in the face! No YEET! Jimmy leaves McIntyre behind, but will McIntyre make sure he regrets that?
Braun Strowman walks ‘n’ talks.
“Look, I know I’ve got my hands full out there tonight. I’m in the ring with a wild animal and a former world champion, but I think people forget that I’m a former world champion myself! And it’s been five damn years since I’ve held gold! So tonight, I run through Fatu, I run through Priest, and then I run through Elimination Chamber! Cody Rhodes, I hope you’re watching, cuz I’m coming for you!” The Monster of All Monsters is ready, but will Priest and Fatu #GetTheseHands? Or will they be able to bring down #OneBigSOB?
Men’s Elimination Chamber Qualifier Triple Threat: Damian Priest VS Braun Strowman VS Jacob Fatu!
SmackDown returns and the Samoan Werewolf makes his entrance, followed by The Punisher’s. The bell rings and these three titans stare down. The fans rally and duel as each man watches the other two. Braun BOOTS Jacob, then TOSSES Priest! Jacob comes back, Braun dodges and Priest ELBOWS him away! Braun comes back to SPLASH Priest! Jacob LARIATS Braun but he stays up! Jacob goes to fireman’s carry, but Braun CLUBS him! Jacob UPPERCUTS back, then Priest UPPERCUTS! Priest & Jacob DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE Braun out of the ring! The fans fire up as now Priest and Jacob stare down.
Jacob and Priest circle, then Priest eggs Jacob on! The haymakers start flying fast and furious and the fans fire up! Jacob HEADBUTTS Priest, ROCKS him, then CHOPS him! Priest goes to ropes, Jacob whips, but Priest reverses. Priest JUMP ELBOWS Jacob, but Jacob is right up! SPLASH in the corner, then a BODY CHECK! Jacob is all geeked up, the fans are with him on that, then he tells Priest to “get your punk ass up!” Jacob scoops and SLAMS Priest, covers, TWO! Priest stays in this but Jacob throws hands. Priest ROCKS Jacob in return! Jacob UPPERCUTS in return! Priest ROCKS Jacob again! Braun runs in, and he CROSSBODIES them both!
The fans fire up as Braun LARIATS Priest up and out! Then he LARIATS Jacob up and out! Braun rips off his shirt and the fans fire up more! Braun storms around, waiting on the other two, but SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Braun storms out of the ring, brings Jacob up, and throws him into barriers! Braun stalks Jacob, fires body shots on him, then a HEADBUTT! Priest runs up to CLOBBER Braun! Priest fires an UPPERCUT on Braun, pushes Jacob into the ring, then Priest goes after Jacob with a SUPERKICK! Jacob wobbles, Priest reels him in, BROKEN ARROW! Cover, Braun breaks it! Braun looms over Priest, stands him up, and then HEADBUTTS him down! Braun aims from a corner, then runs corner to corner, SPLASH on Jacob! Jacob flops down, Braun sees Priest literally on the ropes, and he storms over that way.
Braun whips Priest corner to corner hard, and Priest falls over. Jacob is back in, but Braun whips him to the corner. Jacob reverses and Braun hits buckles hard! Braun now falls over, then falls out of the ring. Priest stands, Jacob BOOTS him down! Jacob goes to the apron, and he AX HANDLES Priest into the desk! Jacob stands Priest up, but Priest blocks the desk smash! Priest then SMACKS Jacob off the desk! And does it again! Priest drags Jacob into the ring, storms over to Braun, and Priest whips Braun into a POST! Braun falls over in a heap, Priest storms up the steel steps, and Priest stalks Jacob to a corner.
Priest stomps Jacob, stands him up, then whips him back into the corner! Priest goes corner to corner and back again, but Jacob dodges! Priest hits buckles, slumps down, and Jacob snarls. SmackDown returns to single picture as Jacob revels in the cheers and jeers. Jacob starts a “FA! TU~!” chant a la “UCE! OH!” but Braun drags him out! Braun RAMS Jacob into barriers! Braun fires hands, then he runs, only to be sent into steel steps! Braun’s knees hit the steel, then he falls over! Jacob brings the steps up to BATTERING RAM Braun down! The fans fire up and Jacob goes back to Priest in the ring.
Priest fires up as he stands tall! Jacob throws hands but Priest fires back! Priest KICKS, KICKS, and ROLLING ELBOWS! Then he winds up to ROCK Jacob! Jacob staggers, but Priest ROCKS him again! Jacob roars, runs up, but Priest dodges, to then WHEEL KICK! Jacob flounders to a corner, Priest runs up, STAGE DIVE ELBOW! Braun is on the apron, Priest SUPERKICKS him down! Priest runs up, Jacob puts him on the apron! Priest ROUNDHOUSES in return! Priest then knuckle locks with Jacob to go up, up, and OLD SCH- NO, Braun grabs Priest by the neck! Jacob HEADBUTTS Braun, and then he YANKS Priest into a SAMOAN DROP!!
Jacob DIVES onto Braun?!? Braun falls onto the desk, Jacob goes up, SWANTON BOMB on Priest! Cover, TWO!!

But Priest fights free to BELL CLAP! Jacob SUPERKICKS in return! Jacob puts Priest up top, CHOPS him, then CHOPS again! Priest wobbles, Jacob climbs, but Priest CLUBS away on Jacob! Jacob HEADBUTTS in return! Jacob goes to the very top, brings Priest up to join him, but Braun joins in!? TITANIC TOWER OF DOOM!! The fans lose their minds while all three men are down!
Priest writhes and crawls to the far side, but Jacob isn’t far behind. Priest flops out of the ring, Jacob sits in the corner, but Braun rises! Flashback to Saturday Night’s Main Event in January, Jacob runs up but Braun CLOBBERS him! And LARIATS! And then a whip and BACKDROP! Braun keeps moving, he has Jacob on the apron, but Jacob UPPERCUTS! But Priest is back to clinch Jacob! FLATLINER onto the desk! That desk really is reinforced, but then the STROWMAN EXPRESS BLASTS Priest up and over the desk!! Braun drags Jacob up, choke grips, and he CHOKE SLAMS Jacob on the desk!! Again, definitely reinforced!
Braun isn’t done with Jacob, though! He tosses Jacob into the ring, but Jacob SUPERKICKS! And SUPERKICKS! Then speaking of SNME, HIP ATTACK!! And then HIP ATTACK!! Braun sputters, the fans want more, so Jacob goes back to the far corner. Jacob runs in, HIP ATTACK!! But Jacob isn’t going to leave it at that! Jacob goes out to grab a chair, brings it to the ring, and he slips the chair around Braun’s neck! The ref reprimands but there are no disqualifications to stop Jacob! “FA! TU~!” But Braun BOOTS Jacob first!! Braun uses the chair to SMACK Jacob on the back! And SMACK him again! Jacob goes to another corner, Braun JAMS him again and again and again!
Braun returns the favor now, and he puts the chair around Jacob’s neck. Braun says eye for an eye, and in this case, head for a head! Braun roars, but SAMOAN SPIKE from outta nowhere!!! Solo just helped Jacob here! BEST MOONSAULT EVER!!! BUT WAIT! Here comes Cody Rhodes! The American Nightmare will not stand by, he brawls with Solo! And POSTS him! Cody fires more hands, but then TAMA TONGA attacks! Cody lost count of these rogues, and Tama holds Cody up for Solo! Solo takes aim, but Cody slips free, SAMOAN SPIKE hits Tama!!!

Priest TOSSES Jacob over barriers, Cody grabs Solo! CROSS RHODES to the floor!! Priest hurries after Braun, but Braun scoops?! Priest slips free, then dodges Braun to POST him! Choke grip, and Braun goes SOUTH OF HEAVEN!!! Cover, PRIEST WINS!!
Winner: Damian Priest, by pinfall (advances to the Elimination Chamber)
Cody made sure justice would prevail, and it is the Archer of Infamy that stands tall! Priest and Cody stand together, but they both look to WrestleMania. They shake hands, but there’s also still one spot for the Men’s Elimination Chamber left. Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, who joins this line-up of heavy hitters?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown that built so much, not just Elimination Chamber but also WrestleMania. Great opening promo from Cody with McIntyre to tease that possibility for Mania, and then bringing in Jacob was great stuff. Plus, Solo showing up for everyone to see, that was also good stuff. Jacob & Tama searching for Solo, confronting him about just leaving, and Solo’s explanation was all good, logical stuff. Good little promo from McIntyre with Jimmy for McIntyre to rub it in Jimmy’s face that everyone else in the family is doing stuff and not him. Also good superkick from Jimmy. McIntyre VS Jimmy will be a great tune-up for McIntyre going into the Chamber, as I don’t see McIntyre winning the Chamber.
Priest and Braun had very good promos to help hype the Triple Threat main event, and that was an awesome main event. And that even includes the overbooking where Solo helped Jacob, only for Cody to counter that and it all to go sideways for Solo. Jacob falling for the usual misunderstanding cliche was good, and I would think Jacob VS Solo is a Mania match. Priest winning to get into the Elimination Chamber was the right call, he can even spin off into something with McIntyre, as was teased in the Rumble. Honestly, as I’ve been saying, we need big things for the Men’s US Championship, which we got a hint of tonight.
Nakamura had a good promo for Knight and Miz to then “interrupt” and bridge off into their own promo battle. It was a very good promo, but I think there was some adlibbing to stretch for time. Still a great match from Knight VS Miz, and of course Knight wins to set up the rematch of Nakamura VS Knight. But there is some great intertwining of stories going on: Andrade and Miz; Miz and Knight; Knight and Melo; Melo and Andrade; now maybe even Melo and Miz given that backstage interaction. We need Nakamura, Knight, Melo, Andrade, Miz, and maybe there’s one more person they can add for a Six Pack Challenge.
Similarly, the tag division on SmackDown is building up. Very good promo from Profits to call everyone out, and then a great match from MCMG VS Los Garza. A shame Elektra Lopez got let go so now Legado is just Santos y Los Garza. That aside, MCMG of course gets another great win, so it might be a Fatal 4 Way: MCMG, Pretty Deadly, Profits and DIY. Then any team could win and all losing teams would stay strong so that feuds could continue past Mania and towards Backlash.
Very good match from Naomi VS Chelsea, and a fitting move for Naomi to win. That combined with the “new evidence” promo adds some more intrigue to the tag title story. After awkward technical difficulties where apparently Aldis wasn’t really in control of the screen, we are given our first real red herring, aka a clue meant to direct us to the wrong culprits. Liv & Raquel have yet to commit a sneak attack without taking credit or making it clear it was them, and it’d just be lazy saying it is them now that they’re challenging for the tag titles. I still think the moment we need is Jade returning during a tag title defense, she reveals it’s either Bianca or Naomi, Liv & Raquel win the titles because of that distraction. Then we get big stuff from Jade, Bianca and Naomi going into WrestleMania.
Great stuff with the women’s championship, like Alexa Bliss talking with Nia but also giving a Wyatt Sick6 tease. Alexa’s return story obviously needs to steer into that direction, mostly to help Wyatt Sick6 stay afloat. Plus, there’s plenty of history for Alexa and Nikki Cross to bring up. Nia VS Tiff was an awesome match, and I suppose the disqualification was the best way to end it to keep both Nia and Tiff strong. Trish being here tonight, Elimination Chamber being in Toronto, of course Trish was going to get in on a story. Trish & Tiff VS Nia & Candice will be a lot of fun, but I would think Candice takes the pin.
I’m a little surprised Charlotte didn’t tease her decision for another week, but Charlotte choosing Tiff makes sense. For one, Tiff brought up being called “the next Charlotte,” but also, Jey Uso chose Gunther, meaning Jey chose Raw. So now the Women’s Rumble winner has to be on SmackDown by default to keep the balance. And Charlotte VS Tiff will still be a great match. The Chamber now gives Rhea her challenger, and while it was rumored WWE wants Rhea VS Bianca, that depends on the Jade whodunnit story. We can’t just go back to Rhea VS Liv, so the winner should either be Bayley or Alexa for something fresher.
Though, that’s kinda funny to say when we once again build to Kevin VS Sami. Of course, that feud is an exception because Kevin and Sami are great promos, as we got tonight, and are awesome in the ring. And while they’re gearing up towards more a fight than a match at Chamber, you can bet WrestleMania has Kevin VS Sami in an attempt to steal the show from everybody. The only thing bigger would be if it was a ladder match a la their classic Ladder War match in ROH. It doesn’t even need to be a ladder match, it could just be a No Disqualification match so they can bring out whatever they want and do whatever they want.
My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY
John Cena is here!
Lexington, Kentucky sings, “JOHN CENA SUCKS~!” as he makes his way out in the University of Kentucky white ‘n’ blue. Cena goes to the ring, and while the fans duel, “Let’s Go, Cena!” “CENA SUCKS!” Cena signals to Mark Nash to give the proper introductions: Please welcome the Greatest of All Time, the Never Seen Seventeen, gracing Lexington with his presence one last time, he is the Last Real Champion, JOHN CENA! The fans boo as Cena holds up the belt. Cena then grabs a mic and says, “Wrestling’s Mount Rushmore… is John Cena, John Cena, John Cena, and John Cena.” The fans boo but Cena says, there have been great wrestlers and great talkers.
But no one in the past, and certainly no one in the present nor the future, is comparable to him. And the very reason Cena will always outmaneuver the fans is not because he never gives up. It is because he is smarter than us. “You Can’t See Me, but you all wanna be me.” And whether watching at home or being mesmerized in this very arena, Cena is always 1000 steps ahead because everyone is worried about here and now, when he had already “won” this title over a year ago. Cena announced his retirement early so that he could have an extra six months to scout his potential opponents.
Cena knew anyone could enter the Rumble, so he did. And he knew that if he lost in the Rumble, he could use his seniority to enter the Elimination Chamber. And he knew that in the Chamber, Rollins and Punk would melt down to give Cena an easy win. Plus, Cody Rhodes was so focused on The Final Boss, Cena just had to seize the moment, shock the world, and become unpredictable. Then all he did was use Cody’s obsession with everyone’s love to guarantee the WrestleMania win. Cena used the fanfare and love of the 25 year rivalry to get a match in Randy Orton’s hometown, all to lull Randy into a false sense of security.
Cena put R-Truth in the Saturday Night’s Main Event so that all the fans would care, and the fans took the bait! While the fans tried to save Truth, Cena made friends with Logan Paul, just to eliminate him as a threat, and all to size up his next opponent in CM Punk. The fans boo but Cena says he used Punk’s rebellious nature and sociopathic self-confidence to back him into a corner. The fans cheer for Punk, but Cena says if Punk wants to take the title, he has to admit that he is a hypocrite! And Cena doesn’t even have to worry about Mr. Money in the Bank, Rollins will never cash in on Cena while he holds this!
Cena knows Rollins wants Cena to leave with the Undisputed title, Rollins becomes your only champion! Cena is the greatest for a reason! The fans boo but Cena says while they’ve been busy using their pathetic brains to come up with fake stories like if Cena “sold his soul,” all Cena has to do is put the math in his favor. He wins before the matches even start! In 25 years, he crunched every number, solved every puzzle and cracked every code. And thank God Cena doesn’t need the fans’ appreciation, because they won’t realize how good he is until three years after he’s gone! This is the greatest moment of their lives, but to Cena, they are just a mathematical equation.
And the math says that there is no one ever worthy enough to earn the right to hold the Undisputed title ever again. But wait, here comes Cody Rhodes! Lexington sings along with Cody’s song, “WHOA~ OH~!” as the American Nightmare makes his way to the ring. Cody gets his pyro, high-fives fans in the front row, then steps up onto the corner for the second “WHOA~ OH~!” and pyro. Cody throws his track jacket to the crowd as a free souvenir, then he grabs himself a mic. The fans cheer as Cody and Cena are face to face again, and then Cody gets the fans to fire up a bit more. Cody takes a moment, then asks Cena to go over what he just said.
Cena claims to be 1000 steps ahead because he’s so smart? No, no, he isn’t just smart! Cena’s a genius! It is unfortunate that everything Cena’s said has come true: Rollins and Punk melted down, Cody was distracted, and they all took their eyes off the prize. The homefield advantage was used against Randy, and the Mount Rushmore being all Cena, sure. But here we are, some sort of 25 year master plan, and there’s this variable that he didn’t account for, and it is simple. Cena laid out his whole story since his return, but why didn’t he include the simple fact that this past Saturday, he was looking up at the lights when Cody pinned him in the middle of this ring?!
The fans cheer, and Cody says he isn’t part of Cena’s plan, Cena is part of Cody’s. So “John Rushmore,” where does that leave the two of them? Well it isn’t just the two of them, because here comes Randy Orton! The fans fire up as The Viper goes right to the ring, gets right in Cena’s face, then pushes past him to grab himself a mic. Randy is back a month after Backlash, and he tells anyone and everyone that had a pulse and was watching Backlash knows Orton had Cena BEAT! Down and out, dead to rights, and about to remove Cena’s head from his shoulders! Until somebody out there decided to come and save John Cena.
Orton realizes now that he has to do whatever it takes. It doesn’t matter what or who it is he has to go through to get his fifteenth. Even being in the King of the Ring Tournament. Cody, Orton loves you like a brother, you know that… But if Orton has to put Cody’s ass down to get to Cena, he won’t hesitate to do it! But wait! Here comes LA Knight! Lexington fires up for The Mega Star as he already has a mic to say, “LEMME TALK TO YA!” “YEAH!” LA Knight says all week long, he’s heard the whole world saying #WeWantLAKnight! “YEAH!” Knight knows what they want, and he knows for damn sure what none of the other guys in the ring want, and that’s Knight walking down there.
So, why don’t we take a walk? Knight understands what this is as he defiantly walks down there. He is looking at the WEW Establishment! “YEAH!” Knight is the sore thumb sticking out here, and that’s how he likes it, YEAH! “YEAH!” But you gotta understand something. Cena, you have this great little master plan, BAH GAWD, it is genius. But Knight knows damn sure that the plans didn’t include Knight, YEAH! So let’s go ahead and throw the plan on it’s head. KOTR is around the corner, which means Knight has a shot at Cody, Orton, and Cena, all on the way to taking what is his! “YEAH!”
So unbreakable as Knight is walking in here, he’s gotta drop a viper, a nightmare, and if he has to drop “a genius balding b*tch John Cena,” he’ll do it to be WWE Champion, with everybody saying, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!!” Cena chuckles and steps out. The fans boo as Cena goes back up the ramp, but then R-TRUTH GETS HIM! Or, well, Ron Killings gets him! And he rains down furious fists on Cena right at the ramp! Security rushes out there, as do producers, and the fans boo. Cena kicks free as it takes everybody to hold Killings back! Will Cena even make it to Night of Champions with the walls closing in?

Jacob Fatu walks ‘n’ talks backstage.
“Lexington, Kentucky. The United States Champion is here. Hell, the United States Champion is America’s Most Wanted, and I’m coming live and direct inside The Rupp Arena! YADADADADADADA mean?!” The Samoan Werewolf is all fired up, but what more will he say on how Saturday was the night he broke free from Solo Sikoa? We find out, after the break.
SmackDown returns and…
Fatu heads to the ring! Lexington cheers the Samoan Werewolf, and he grabs the mic to say, “Lexington, Kentucky! Let’s keep it 100! Just because you’re family don’t mean that you can go behind their back and try to snake ’em. Just because we both come from the same bloodline don’t mean that they can take all the credit for your hard work! So Solo says I wouldn’t be nothing if it wasn’t for him. Solo says Jacob Fatu would be nothing if it wasn’t for him!” The fans boo that, and Fatu says this is why he had to remind Solo at MITB what happens when you don’t get in where you fit in! The fans cheer that!
So now, it is Fatu against the world! Cuz Fatu is all gas, no brakes with it! YADADA MEAN~?! But wait, Solo Sikoa is on the tron, sarcastically applauding. Solo says that’s it, Jacob, tell ’em how you feel. Solo leans in close and asks Fatu if he’s done getting it all off his chest. At MITB, Fatu could’ve made the biggest mistake of his life. And Solo can forgive him for that. One year ago, when Solo visited Fatu in Sacramento, Fatu was doing nothing. NOTHING. No one wanted Fatu around until Solo brought him here to the WWE. Solo made Fatu into a WWE Superstar, put money in his pocket, put him in the position for success, and even made him a champion!
This is all because of SOLO, you stupid…! Solo holds back, and he says next week, Solo will be in the ring with open arms, willing to take Fatu back. But there is something Solo needs from Fatu. He needs those four words from him: I Love You, Solo. And just remember… Solo brought Fatu into the WWE, and he can take him out of it. Yadada mean? Solo leaves Fatu to think on this ultimatum, but is it already obvious what Fatu will say to Solo next week?
Nick Aldis meets with The Secret Her-vice.
“Special Slaygent” Piper informs the SmackDown General Manager that Chelsea Green needs to speak with him. But Chelsea isn’t here in the room…? She’s on the phone. And Chelsea apologizes, she had an impossible time finding a flight to get her to Lexington, so can they postpone her Fatal 4 Way until next week? Aldis says no, they’re not postponing anything for little ol’ Chelsea. But if her Secret Her-vice is here… Alba is ready for competition, right? So then Alba will take Chelsea’s place! Perfect! Chelsea says no, she will filibuster and- Oh, sorry, no, Aldis authorized it, he doesn’t care what Chelsea has to say, so Alba has to go get ready now.
Alba grumbles that she has to change from her security suit to her wrestling suit. Chelsea complains and complains, but then Zelina Vega steps in. Zelina takes the phone and hangs up on Chelsea so she can talk with Aldis. She wants Giulia now! Well, she’s not here tonight. Oh, that’s convenient. Aldis says he understands that Zelina wants after Giulia after last week. Zelina says first of all, she’s been snatched unawares much harder by much better. Second, don’t worry about the girl that does the sneak attacks, worry about the girl that gets up after every beating. One sneak attack isn’t gonna scare her, she is THE Women’s US Champion!
So next week, Zelina will confront Giulia, because she doesn’t need to pretend or hide. The smallest girl with the biggest mouth is gonna make Giulia look stupid! Zelina storms off, will the Beautiful Madness learn not to get on La Muneca’s bad side?
Queen of the Ring Tournament Fatal 4 Way: Jade Cargill VS Nia Jax VS Piper Niven VS Mia Yim!

Just as it looked like she was done for, Jade snatches this win away for her own! The Storm is in the semifinals, will she make quick work of The Prodigy, Roxanne Perez?
Naomi watches this backstage.
She’s not exactly pleased that Jade is advancing, but she’s also the one holding the Money in the Bank briefcase. Naomi heads for gorilla, what will she have to say about her huge victory? We find out, after the break.
SmackDown returns and…
Lexington fires up as Naomi heads to the ring! “Yes, I see some o’ y’all looking real surprised! Real shocked! Real stupid! I dunno why, because I told y’all I was done accepting scraps. I took what I deserve, and look at me now. Miss Money in the Bank! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” The fans are torn, but Naomi says what’s really funny is the entire time, when she was trying to beat Nia Jax for the WWE Women’s Championship, y’know who was there with a briefcase to stop it? Y’know who distracted her? Who bashed her in the head?! It was Tiffany Stratton. “Too Nice Naomi” just let it happen. But the Naomi now aini’t lettin’ nothing sliding! She’s here for payback!
And when Naomi CLOCKS Tiffy Time in the head with this briefcase, it’ll feel so good when Naomi becomes the NEW WWE- Well, here comes Tiffany herself! The fans cheer as Tiff goes to the ring, and she grabs a mic to say, “You talk a big game, Naomi. So why don’t you just do it? Just cash in and take my title… right now.” The fans chant “DO IT! DO IT!” Tiffy says see, she’s still the same ol’ Naomi: all talk and no action. That is why Naomi never beat Nia. But please, prove us all wrong! The fans cheer, Naomi snarls, and she says, “Do I look stupid to you?! Do I look like Booboo the Fool? I ain’t gonna cash in on you now. I’ma cash in when you least expect it.”

Nick Aldis meets with the SmackDown Tag Division.
He thanks the Street Profits, Motor City Machine Guns, Fraxiom & DIY for coming to discuss the Wyatt situation. Johnny Gargano interrupts, saying this is a big decision. DIY feels this is a huge opportunity… for Fraxiom. Everyone else says they knew DIY would pull that. Fraxiom says they’re not afraid, but Tommaso Ciampa says if nothing else, the Street Profits should step up as the champions. Angelo Dawkins says bet, they’re already ready. Aldis suggests they all let him finish his explanation. Taking all this into account, MCMG are the veterans, so they will set the tone. They get the Wyatts tonight.
The others applaud and Dawkins says yes, set that tone. Will Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin be able to have an impact on the Wyatt Sick6? Or will the Motor City Machine Guns have no effect on what goes bump in the night?

The chaos is back and it is on top as Lumis & Gacy break the Machine Guns. Will they tear through the rest of the division until they’re the champions?
John Cena encounters Jimmy Uso backstage.
Cena and #BigJim stare down, and Cena asks if Jimmy has seen R-Truth. No, he hasn’t. Then has he seen Ron Killings? Listen, man… Jimmy ain’t seen either one of ’em. Cena says he knows Jimmy and Truth are close. So let Killings know that Cena’s going back to the ring, and he wants Killings to meet him there. Cena heads out, will Ron get the message? Will Cena get the Truth, the whole Truth, and nothing but the Truth?
SmackDown returns and…
“JOHN CENA SUCKS~!” as he goes right back to the ring, just as he promised. And he tells everyone to shut up! Cena paces and says, “There is a level of disrespect that I can tolerate. R-Truth, you just crossed the line!” The fans chant, “We Want Truth!” and Cena frowns. Cena says for once, he agrees. There is a time to talk and there is a time to fight, so Truth, get out here so they can fight! BUT WAIT! CM PUNK is here instead! Cena is stunned and maybe even a little scared to see Punk here on SmackDown. Punk goes right to the ring as the fans cheer, and he grabs himself a mic before sitting on the top rope.
The fans cheer Punk on even more and Punk asks, “Is it great to be alive on a Friday night in Lexington, Kentucky or what?” The fans cheer that! And Punk asks Cena if he said something about disrespect. Cena is tired of being disrespected? “John, these people are tired of being disrespected! But now, CM Punk has a microphone, and I think you can trust when I say that we have yet to begin the reach the levels of disrespect that we are capable of.” Punk says for old time’s sake, he’ll give Cena a chance, the benefit of a doubt. Maybe Punk’s empathy is too much, too Obi-Wan talking to Darth Vader, hoping to see Anakin still in there.
So Punk will give Cena a chance in front of this legendary wrestling town. “Stop what you’re doing, let these people celebrate who and what you are, let them put you on a pedestal on your way out. Let them celebrate the sacrifices you have made for them and this business. Give them a happy ending!” Punk steps back and Cena steps up. Cena asks, “Why? Why would I waste my time?” The fans boo, but Cena says the people don’t matter, this place doesn’t matter, basketball doesn’t matter, horse racing doesn’t matter! THIS Undisputed Championship is the only thing that matters! So Cena is to eat crow to the same idiots wearing his shirt but singing Punk’s song? Fat chance!
Punk says okay, okay, let the record show that Punk and Lexington gave Cena an out. But now, let’s do it Cena’s way. Let the disrespect being. Ironically that is the Punk way! When the static hits and Cult of Personality plays through sold-out arenas, everyone knows it is about to get real. And ladies and gentlemen, watching and working at USA Network, it’s about to get real. Here’s the truth Cena wants so badly. The saying goes, “You tell a strong man a lie to offend him.” That’s why it pisses Punk off when Cena calls him the hypocrite. Conversely, you tell a weak man the truth and that offends him.
Fans chant, “We Want Truth!” Punk says the truth here is… Cena can’t beat Punk. When Punk is at his best, Cena never could. And now Cena wants to ruin wrestling? Well, Punk is going to take it upon himself to save it. Bare with Punk, because as always, he has a lot to get off his chest. That other thing about sociopathic confidence? Punk takes that as a compliment. Because it is that confidence that brought Punk to the mountaintop time and time again. Especially when people like Cena say they wanna see it but claim Punk didn’t have it. But Punk is not as confident as Cena, because Punk would never dress like a toddler who looks like he struck out at T-Ball.
The fans laugh, Punk says he wants that stricken from the record, because y’know who that sounds like? That sounds like the PG John Cena. Which is ironic, because right now, y’know who Cena sounds like, saying he’s gonna ruin wrestling, take the strap and go home… That sounds like C M PUNK! And yes, that is ironic. Cena is stealing Punk’s best material. Punk won that title, he left with the title, and Cena is trying to follow in those footsteps. Punk did it! He said he would and he did, and Cena couldn’t stop him. Cena thinks challenging Punk at Night of Champions is going to stop him? “John Boy, just like old times, here’s CM Punk to make your title run interesting.”
Here comes CM Punk to make John Cena’s retirement tour interesting! Watchable! Get the rocket fuel to fuel that private jet! Punk would go to MARS to beat Cena’s ass! Punk will follow Cena to Hell to prove he is better than Cena! But here’s more truth, it isn’t all bad. Cena IS a GOAT, but so is Punk. Punk beat Cena in Chicago, he beat Cena in Boston, and he will beat Cena at Night of Champions. Cena is the “Goat” that Punk will spit-roast and sacrifice to the gods of wrestling! Legends who actually belong on the Mount Rushmore! Terry Funk, Harley Race, Bret Hart, Eddie Guerrero! The AUDACITY of Cena to put himself on that mountain once, let alone all four times. What a joke.
The fans cheer but Cena smirks. Punk says here’s more truth: You can’t see me? No, Punk sees through him, and always has, and that’s the truth. Punk leaves Cena with that, and then KILLINGS STRIKES AGAIN!! And he puts Cena in the STF!! Punk mockingly says, “I’m sorry~! But the Truth hurts!” Cena suffers his own signature submission but security rushes out here! The fans boo as they drag Killings off Cena and Cena scrambles away! Cena hops and hobbles on one good leg, are the bridges he burned going to take them down with him?
Backstage interview with Alexa Bliss.
Byron Saxton is with Lil’ Miss Bliss at gorilla, and notes that she took a tough loss at MITB. What is the mindset going into the future? Alexa says she’s won MITB, cashed in, made history, so she isn’t rattled. Tonight, she reminds everyone of who she is, and will be one step closer to becoming Queen of the Ring. But then in steps Charlotte Flair. And she says, “Sweetie, did you say, ‘Queen?’ There’s only room for one queen in this division. WOO~!” Charlotte makes her entrance first, but both she and Alexa will have to fight their way into the next round. Will it be either of them that moves forward? Or are they overlooking the Poison Pixie and the Firestarter?
Nick Aldis finds R-Truth/Ron Killings backstage.
Aldis asks Truth what the hell he’s doing, he can’t just keep jumping Cena like that! What’s Aldis supposed to do? Truth says he wants a match with Cena next week. Next week? Yeah. Done. Killings says he’s driving now! Will he run Cena right off the road?

And the push-up into the FIGURE EIGHT! But Candice LIONSAULTS it all apart!! Alba SUPERKICKS Candice! Charlotte is up, Alba spins her around, Gory Especial, GORY BOMB! Cover, ALEXA BREAKS IT!

Charlotte lets go of Alba and is in disbelief! But Alexa smiles as she snatches this win right out from under Charlotte’s nose! Charlotte may call herself the queen, but will Alexa be the one to wear the crown?
Cody heads to gorilla.
And he crosses paths with Punk. Cody says they can’t run away from each other forever. Punk says he knows. But good luck tonight. After Night of Champions, we’ll see who’s chasing who. Cody moves on, but will he move on in the tournament? Or will the American Nightmare’s nightmare of losing that Undisputed Championship only get worse?

Winner: Cody Rhodes, by pinfall (advances to the semifinals)
Lexington cheers and sings with Cody’s song as he comes out on top! We know Sami Zayn and Randy Orton are one semifinal match, but Raw will determine the other! Sheamus, Rusev, Bronson Reed, or MAIN EVENT JEY USO, who survives to then meet Cody in the next round?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown with a lot of action from doing all the SmackDown Fatal 4 Ways in the King & Queen of the Ring tournaments. And each Fatal 4 Way was great, because Fatal 4 Ways always lend themselves to fast, chaotic action. Great opening promo from Cena with Cody, Orton and Knight to help segue into the first match, but also great stuff with R-Truth going after Cena. Orton winning was a bit of a surprise, and makes for a very interesting match with Sami Zayn. I suppose Sami going hard against Orton and finding a sneakier way to win could go with how Karrion Kross has been working to bring that side out of Sami.
Jade winning her match made sense, as Piper is still just Chelsea’s sidekick and Mia isn’t quite at that QOTR top title level. It also puts her in line with Naomi’s story of being Miss MITB, because Naomi can mess Jade over in a title match just as much as she can Tiffany. Very good promo from Naomi with Tiffany to tease a cash in, but also set up Tiffy VS Nia one more time. Chelsea also had a hilarious video call promo, and good on Aldis to stand up to her by putting Alba in the match instead. Alexa winning was only a little surprising, as she’s on that return push. And it makes for a fresh match-up no matter who from Raw wins the final Fatal 4.
Awesome main event Fatal 4 but I figured Cody would win, as it makes for a unique match-up of Cody VS Jey. Jey being put in was a bit of a surprise, but perhaps the wrestlers we’re waiting to return (Roman Reigns, but maybe even Ilja Dragunov) just aren’t ready yet. And given Bronson & Bron screwed Knight over, Knight will surely show up on Raw again to keep that feud going. Sheamus and Rusev have their own story, so Jey is the default choice. I almost feel like they should’ve flipped the brackets so that it would give us Orton VS Cody and Sami VS Jey in the semifinals, but those combos probably serve for stronger finals matches.
Very good stuff with the tag division, but MCMG VS Gacy & Lumis could’ve been a bit better. Part of the problem that comes with the Wyatts being gone away so long is that there might be some ring rust. Lumis & Gacy were on point, but they needed time to coordinate some things first and that slowed the overall pace down. The Wyatts won, of course, and will likely deal with Fraxiom next, what with DIY volunteering Fraxiom and Profits ahead of them. Then, Cena and Punk had a great promo, with it mostly being Punk tearing into Cena. Surprisingly, no allusions to Punk’s incendiary comments from years ago, but that’s very Punk of Punk.
And Killings going after Cena again was great stuff. Cena VS Killings will be a great match next week, and Cena probably rubs it in that he’s using one of his precious final appearances was used to beat Truth again. Though, to build Killings up, I would think they find a way for him to win that “isn’t definitive,” like a count out victory or some kind of disqualification. I was hoping for an R-Truth celebration at Saturday Night’s Main Event akin to Lex Luger over Yokozuna, but maybe that happens next week.
My Score: 9/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 6.12.2025
DO SOMETHING WITH JASON HOTCH AND KC NAVARRO – that is all.
So Against All Odds…was barely passable and that’s only with Xanax. The Knockouts title match was awful, the 4 Man “Home Town Man” was stupid and the only good part was remixing the old Jerry Lynn & AJ Styles “Born in the USA” theme for Home Town Man. Maclin needs to stop having brawls, they’re boring, give him a bump guy. Kaibas and Rascalz was underwhelming. Santino vs Robert Stone was funny, Elias vs Trick was too chalk and lame. IInspiration (IIconics) returning was big news at least. Hendry losing to Kaz was also obvious since Kaz hasn’t won a match in forever.
The show dragged, and as much as I usually like Masha’s wrestling ability…her last 3 title matches have sucked and its not her opponents fault. Killer Kelly returning is sexy though…I mean, good. Yes, good. Saving the best for last, Mustafa Ali vs Jason Hotch was the best match of the show, and really damn good in general. Workrate was great, Tasha and Skyler being conflicted and popping for Hotch when he was doing well was great character work. Hotch looked amazing in the loss, if they don’t capitalize on it, that would be a huge screw up from TNA.
Not really sure what kind of shows we’ll be getting, and I’m not excited.

Ratings:
- The IInspiration vs Missa Kate & Brittani Brookes: IInspiration wins via Idolizer – ** 1/2
- Jason Hotch w/Jon Skyler vs Leon Slater: Leon wins via Swanton 450 – ** 3/4
- 8-4-1 Knockouts Match: Tessa Blanchard, Xia Brookside, Dani Luna & Rosemary vs Killer Kelly, Indi Hartwell, Jody Threat & Tasha Steelz: Indi wins via Hurts Don’t It – ** 3/4
- Indi Hartwell vs Killer Kelly vs Jody Threat vs Tasha Steelz: Kelly wins via Hurts Don’t It – ***
- Fir$t Cla$$ vs The Hardy Boyz: Hardyz win via DQ – ***
Results:
Santino opens the show informing Santana of a suspension, kicking Robert Stone out and recapping his victory party before introducing the IInspiration for their first match back.
The IInspiration vs Missa Kate & Brittani Brookes
A bit of talking and pandering from IInspiration, they’re dominating the jobbers and there’s not much to discuss here. They do the IIconics Pose and actually keep the control. Cassie pulls off some kind of Butterfly Facebuster which looks cool, Jess comes in and the Jobbers cheat a little to take over. Jess tags in Cassie and Scorpion Kick, decent comeback, corner Hip Attacks, Neckbreaker, Jumping Kick to the Head into Fisherman’s Suplex Hold for 2. Idolizer (Magic Killer variant) is hit and IInspiration win, and didn’t look bad. Cassie (Peyton) is still the better wrestler of the two, but neither looked bad.
Jason Hotch w/Jon Skyler vs Leon Slater
I don’t hide the fact I heavily dislike Slater. He has no personality, he’s all flips, no ability to talk…he’s boring. He’s ROH Will Ospreay or Flip Gordon, does flippy crap to pop morons but he’s a worthless character. Since he wants to become the Youngest X Division champion, and they’ve talked about for like the last 7 months…sadly it’s probably going to happen.
Chain wrestling start and Hotch already looks like the better wrestler. Hotch is on his SANADA in LIJ arch where he looked great losing to the leader, falls back in line but then he hits a Spinning Overhead Kick for a near fall, so I’m not allowed to finish my thought because Hotch is fun to watch. Leon is such a bad wrestler…he held the rope and looked back to take a forearm shiver, the nerd had to watch it to sell it. Man’s not talent.
Hotch has Leon in an Arm Iso Cravat, Leon tries to fire and then Hotch keeps him down. Leon counters a Slingshot Suplex into his own Final Cut to get space to breathe. Double sell, Leon leap frogs, then rope runs, Lariats and Lethal Injection from Leon for 2. Hotch is so fluid, dodges the corner attack, rope assisted side kick, Outside In Neckbreaker for a near fall! Hotch will probably lose, but he looks like the better wrestler by miles. Heavy Irish Whip counter from Leon, into Blue Thunder Bomb. Leon goes to the top, Hotch cuts off, Leon dodges, hits the Knife Edge Chop and they wrestle on the apron, Front Kick from Hotch sends Leon into the post, Double Stomp onto the apron, Hotch wants a finish but counter, Cradle trades and then Hotch gets caught by a Leg Lariat, Swanton 450, selling from Leon was spotty and bad during this whole match.
Fun moments but the wrong kid died…

8-4-1 Knockouts Match: Tessa Blanchard, Xia Brookside, Dani Luna & Rosemary vs Killer Kelly, Indi Hartwell, Jody Threat & Tasha Steelz
Dani and Jody start, so at least there’s a measure of story telling, but I still detest Jody. Sloppy counter wrestling start, Jody stops herself from punching Dani and tags in Tasha. Tasha pauses and jaws to her team and gets Back Body Dropped by Dani, Dani tags in Xia and Tasha pokes her eyes immediately and lights up Xia. Xia fights back, Rope Assisted Headscissors, Crossbody and near fall. Xia tags in Rosemary and Rosemary looks at her like death, then Rosemary goes after Xia, but a Codebreaker from Tasha gives space to tag in Kelly. Kelly kisses Rosemary and then they brawl in full mount. I’m not sure if I clicked the orange website or TNA…oh there’s a Lariat…it’s wrestling again.
Jody doofus tags in, the crowd wants Indi, no one wants Jody and Rosemary Upkick, Drop Toe Hold, Tessa tags in, works over Jody, Jody tries to go to the top, Victoria Crawford fka Alicia Fox trips her, Tessa gets the momentum back, a bunch of distraction and Tessa tags in Dani. Then Dani tags out to Rosemary. Whip, Rosemary misses the Spear, Tessa tags herself in and they’re keeping Indi out of the ring. Tessa crashes and burns as Jody dodges and fights back. Rosemary tags in, Indi gets the tag. Bunch combo, Spinebuster, Dani breaks the pin and now signature spam spot.
Indi is the last on to hit her moves, Hurts Don’t It takes out Rosemary after Tessa just walks out.
Indi Hartwell vs Jody Threat vs Killer Kelly vs Tasha Steelz
Commercial happened and we’re back and it’s Indi vs Jody. Jody takes her down with a Shoulder Tackle, Jody hits the Exploder, and Indi finally stalls some of the offense, Indi throws Jody into the ropes and Jody takes it bad. Jody Drop Toe Hold, looking for her Knees into German spot, but Kelly pulls her out, Tasha tries to pick the bones but Kelly comes in and attacks Indi. Tasha and Kelly have a heel agreement to gang up on Indi. Kelly goes for the pin, so hells are arguing, throw forearms, Kelly with the Double Overhooks, Headbutts, Angel’s Wings gets hit from Kelly but Tasha kicks out. Jody Crossbody takes out both heels.
Jody and Indi team up and 10 Count Lariats on the Heels, pop spot for the crowd since Indi is in the driver’s seat, Simultaneous Lariats each other and everybody down. Mickie James Bulldog from Tasha but Jody pushes her off, Indi tries the Cradle for two. Indi misses the Boot, eats a German. Tasha hits the Mickie Bulldog, but Jody kicks out. Indi grabs Tasha, Hurts-nope. Tasha wanted Blackout, Indi says no, Hurts Don’t It, but Kelly takes out Indi and steals the pinfall. Kelly wins.

Fir$t Cla$$ vs The Hardy Boyz
AJ charges before the bell, Hardyz dodge and Lariat AJ to the floor and work over KC with their usual Arm Bar Extreme Elbow, Delete Arm Breakers and Back Elbow Hardyz combo. AJ tries to get back in and the Hardyz attack, Poetry in Motion, AJ is back to the outside. Commercial break time, I wonder if the heels will be winning coming back…OH no, Jeff is still isolating KC. Pleasantly surprised I suppose.
Arm Wringer, simple offense, Jeff tags in Matt, Stalling Tandem Suplex and Matt covers, only 2. Matt with Short Arm Shoulder Tackles, close quarters forearms and the Rocket Launcher into the middle rope followed by a Leg Drop onto the apron, KC keeps kicking out but he’s getting dog walked. Stomps into Splash, KC needs to tag out, but Jeff stays on him, AJ finally pulls out Jeff, KC flies into Jeff and tags out. Finally AJ gives KC a break and bends Jeff back in a Bow and Arrow Stretch. Jeff tries the comeback, AJ pulls the hair to throw him down, stomps his face and AJ is manhandling Jeff as KC is sucking wind. Little Bro deserves a big break.
Tennessee Whiskey from AJ, connects and “Money, Money, Money”. AJ gets a little distracted trying to one up Matt, Jeff hits two Twists, and tags in Matt, so Delete Face Smashes and AJ is getting rocked. AJ reverses the Irish Whip, but Back Elbow from Matt into a Middle Rope Side Effect. Trick Williams comes out to attack the Hardyz. Hardyz win via DQ, but then Hendry and Elijah come out for the save. System is out…old school TNA donnybrook.
Overall Score: 5.5/10
The ring work was mediocre at best, but nothing miserable. Cassie and Jess look like they never missed a beat, take that for what you will if you loved or hated the IIconics. Trick solidifying his alliance with First Class makes for interesting cross promotion. If Fir$t Cla$$ ends up with the NXT Tags while Trick is the TNA Champ…that’s…a pretty neat visual I ain’t mad at. Yes I’m bias because KC is awesome, but AJ has done good work in TNA, so he deserves some flowers. Tessa keeping Victoria Crawford in the Robert Stone ejection is wonderful. I’ve always loved Alicia Fox and teaming her with Tessa is very interesting for the obvious reasons I don’t need to mention again, just search Twitter, you’ll understand.
Sami looks like a doofus getting sideswiped, Jay-SANADA Hotch is the best thing TNA has right now for home grown talent. Slater is still useless but oooo he can flip…I hate no personality flip-tards. Indi getting screwed sets things up nicely to not push her too quick to the top of the card, but she’s very over. The lack of Lei Ying Lee is annoying since I really don’t think the poor match was her fault. Also, putting her in a throwaway tag match against the Elegance girls next week? TNA really doesn’t know what to do with Lei, do they? She’s been mishandled the entire time since debut.
So even with my nitpicks, there were a lot of building blocks in the show. Hell Tessa insulting Gia is also probably something brewing…but I’m glad we didn’t lose Gia when we lost Ace. Gia is the best backstage interviewer since Lauren Brooke. So very middle of the road show, either things will get slightly better going to Slammiversary, or it’s the calm before the storm. We…shall see.
