PLAY BY PLAY

Jey Uso is here!

And like before, he comes on through the concourse with the WWE Universe, and says, “Hey, Uce! Please hit my music! Uh, uh, YEET!!” Memphis fires up and sings along with that Day One Ish! Then they get their bounce on with Jey while he heads down the bleachers and to ringside. And much like in Cleveland, they bounce along as Jey’s on the corner! Jey keeps it going and the fans are with him! They might just YEET all night if they could! Jey grabs a mic and the fans chant for “One More Time! One More Time!” Jey says aight. MORE YEET! Jey finally says, “Main Event Jey Uso is now in your citaaay~!”

Jey hears the “YEET!” continue, but he says he has had a hell of a week. He got a lotta love. “YEET!” From his family. “YEET!” From his friends. “YEET!” And from the fans. “YEET!” Your 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble Winner! “YEET!” The fans now chant, “You Deserve It! YEET!” Jey says okay, but he’s here to pick a champion to main event with at WrestleMania. On Monday right, he had the Ring General, Gunther. So it is only right that he pulls up on Smackdown to be face to face with the WWE Champion. So Memphis, help him welcome his dawg, The American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes! The fans now fire up as Cody makes his entrance!

The fans sing along with Cody’s song, “WHOA~ OH!” and we get the pyro! Cody high-fives fans as he heads down the ramp, then he steps into the ring to join Jey.  Cody and Jey hug at the second “WHOA~ OH~!” then Cody grabs a mic. The fans chant between “CODY! CODY!” and “YEET!” Cody tells Memphis, and Main Event Jey Uso, “I think I know what you wanna talk about.” We get a look at the WrestleMania sign, and Jey tells Cody, “Uce, you know why I’m here, right? You do. I got two choices to make, Uce. Just two. I can stand across from you on the Grandest Stage of Them All, WrestleMania. That’d mean a lot to me.

“Or… I can stand next to you, you still WWE Champ, and me the NEW World Heavyweight Champ.” The fans like both ideas! Cody says that’s quite the choice to make. He spoke to his doctor this week after that ladder match, and he was told that there’s fluid in his elbow that needs to be drained, a hip that is out of alignment, a bunch of lower back medical jargon he wasn’t really paying attention to. Cody’s doctor is a nice guy, but he’s not the WWE Champion. And one of the things that the doc left out is a good diagnosis: how good Cody’s heart is, how absolutely 100% proud Cody is of Jey Uso winning the Royal Rumble!

The fans cheer, and Cody says he knows this is Jey’s choice. But that sign there, having fought for it, having his choice taken from him and then fighting to get it back, that is Jey’s sign to point out this year. This is Jey’s WrestleMania! They’ve had some good moments in this ring together. They won tag team gold together. They had a libation or two. This arena is right off Biel Street… They could do that all over again, y’know what he’s saying? But Jey, as much as Jey has this choice, Cody has to go to WrestleMania. And for this title reign to be complete, he has to not only be in the main event, he has to win.

So if Jey chooses Cody, they’ll make a memory here tonight and have some absolute fun, because it’ll be the last time. Does Jey feel Cody on that? Cody and Jey shake hands, but wait! Jacob Fatu & Tama Tonga are here! The Samoan Werewolf and Good Bad Guy go to the ring, but Cody & Jey stand their ground. Tama grabs a mic to say, “Shh… YEHYEHYEHYEHYEH! YEH YEH YEH YEH!” Jacob adds a “Yeeeeah. Okay. First off, Cody Rhodes! Last year, you took that title from my family. But as of now, Cody, my family needs that title back. Which that takes me to you, Jey Uso. Big cousin! Mr. Yeet Man! Mr. 25 Royal Rumble winner!”

Jacob tells “Big Cousin” to not get it twisted, keep it 100. If it is anyone that brings that title back to the family, it sure to Hell ain’t gonna be Jey’s ass! Tama storms up but Jey SUPERKICKS him! So Jacob SUPERKICKS Jey! Cody fires hands on Jacob! But Jacob WRINGS Cody’s bad arm out! And then BODY CHECKS him! The fans boo but Jacob hammers away on Cody in the corner! Jacob throws off his jacket, goes to the far corner, but Jey SUPERKICKS him! Cody hurries to springboard, CODY CUTTER! Jey & Cody then DOUBLE LARIAT Jacob up and out! Tama & Jacob regroup to retreat, but surely this isn’t the end of things between Rhodes and these rogues!

In fact, Nick Aldis makes it official during the break! Cody & Jey VS Jacob & Tama in a massive tag team match! Will the American Nightmare & Main Event Jey look to YEET Jacob & Tama out of the way on this Road to WrestleMania?

 

Women’s Elimination Chamber Qualifier: Bianca Belair w/ Naomi VS Piper Niven w/ Chelsea Green!

The StrongEST Glow may not have won the Women’s Royal Rumble, but they are still WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. However, Bianca is still joining the chase for a world title shot! Will Bianca break into the Elimination Chamber and head for WrestleMania? Or will the “Secret Her-vice” take the lead on going for more gold?

The bell rings, the two storm up, but Bianca slips around Piper to wrench and torture- NO, Piper fights free, scoops, but Bianca fights fere! Bianca goes to a corner, Piper runs in, but Bianca dodges! Bianca RAMS into Piper again and again, then lets off to fire up Memphis. Bianca says kiss this, then she RAMS Piper again! Bianca climbs up, the fans count along as she rains down fists! But Piper slips out at 5, and she uses the braid to pull Bianca down! Piper then uses the braid to reel Bianca in for a short arm LARIAT! The fans boo but Piper stalks Bianca. Piper bumps Bianca off buckles, then RAMS into her now!

The ref counts, Piper stops at 4 to push Bianca down. Piper talks trash, then runs up, but Bianca DUMPS Piper out of the ring! Chelsea is upset but Bianca WRECKS Piper with a dropkick! Bianca then brings Piper around, only for Piper to RAM her into the LED apron! Then she SPLASHES Bianca against the LED apron! The fans boo but Piper SENTONS Bianca on the floor! Piper soaks up the heat while SmackDown goes picture in picture.

Piper drags Bianca up, Bianca fires body shots, but Piper SMACKS her off the top of the apron. Piper puts Bianca in, stalks her, but Bianca fires forearms! Bianca runs, RAMS Piper, but Piper rebounds to CLOBBER Bianca! Piper soaks up more heat before she covers, TWO! Bianca is tougher than that, but Piper clamps on a chinlock. Bianca endures, fights up, then Bianca fires body shots. But Piper scoops, to SLAM Bianca! Bianca goes to a corner while Piper taunts Memphis. Chelsea cheers while Piper storms up on Bianca. Piper climbs up, and now she rains down fists! Piper really puts heat on them, but Bianca slips out at 5!

Bianca pries Piper from the corner in an Electric Chair, then SLAMS her onto the buckles! Piper sputters, Bianca gets space, and Bianca runs back in to RAM Piper again! Bianca climbs up, and she rains down more fists! Bianca gets to nine but Piper slips out again! Piper goes after the braid like before, but Bianca backflips through!

Bianca then runs and SPEARS Piper down! High stack, TWO! Bianca is sent into buckles and she falls in a heap! Piper runs corner to corner, and she CANNONBALLS into Bianca! Piper goes up, up, and Chelsea cheers, but Bianca CLUBS Piper on the back!

Piper fires back and Bianca staggers away. Bianca runs up, but into an URENAGE! Piper goes up again, Chelsea says finish this! VADER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Bianca survives again and Piper is growing frustrated. Chelsea is frustrated, too, but the fans rally for “E S T! E S T!” Piper brings Bianca up, scoops, but Bianca slips free! Bianca goes to a corner, dodges Piper, and then has Piper in the ropes to BOOT her into the post! Piper is dazed, Bianca hoists her up, torture rack! The fans are thunderous for the KISS OF DEATH!! Cover, Bianca wins!

Winner: Bianca Belair, by pinfall (advances to Elimination Chamber)

Naomi celebrates with Bianca, and now this might be the strongEST, the toughEST, the roughEST, the fastEST Elimination Chamber match ever! But will Bianca win big for her and her team?

 

Nick Aldis welcomes Kayden Carter & Katana Chance to SmackDown.

The transfer window has closed, and the party girls are now officially part of the blue brand. They’re excited, but then Carmelo Hayes steps in. Aldis apologizes to KC Squared as they step out, and Melo says unless this meeting is about the Elimination Chamber, maybe giving H1M a bye like Cena got, there’s nothing to talk about. Oh, but there is something to talk about. Aldis had a phone call with Adam Pearce, and Pearce wants Melo to have a match with a Raw superstar who’s in town tonight. Aldis accepted that request. Melo says no, they’re not doing this anymore. Aldis tried it with Strowman, he tried it with Priest, Melo’s not into that.

But knock knock, they’re here. And it’s Akira Tozawa! He will be Melo’s opponent after how Melo cost him his spot in the Royal Rumble. So that deserves this match. Melo says he’s changed his mind anyway, this is perfect! Melo has been wanting to wrestle Tozawa, and it’ll be a layup. Tozawa says more like airball. What was that? Who does Tozawa think he is? Tozawa will see an airball! Melo heads out, Tozawa says he’s a problem. Will the Alpha Academy’s Stamina Monster find a way to humble H1M when others couldn’t?

 

#DIY is here!

Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa are still WWE Tag Team Champions, only because The Street Profits cost the Motor City Machine Guns in the Best 2 Out of 3 Falls match. Though, Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins would then attack Gargano & Ciampa afterward, so clearly it wasn’t to help them. What will DIY have to say about it all? We find out, after the break.

SmackDown returns and the fans boo DIY while they grab mics. Gargano starts by telling Memphis to give it up one time for your TWO-TIME WWE Tag Team Champions~! The fans boo, but Gargano says they beat MCMG not once but twice at the Royal Rumble. That means officially, this is THE best tag team in the world! Everyone knows that the BTTITW is D I Y! And Ciampa says with that, it is safe to say that the chances of MCMG ever holding these titles again are officially dead. RIP. But that’s hard, because DIY has nothing but respect for MCMG, two indie legends! 11 years ago, they were DIY’s favorites.

So tonight, Memphis, everyone here and watching at home, please stand up. Please, they’re serious. This is for MCMG. Take your hats off, bow your heads in silence. Silence! The fans boo instead, but “YES BOY~!” Pretty Deadly is here! Elton Prince has a mic to say, “Wow, wow, wow. What a lovely sentiment that was.” Kit Wilson says they were just back there watching, having fun- Ciampa says they’re interrupting a moment of silence! But Elton says they felt it was important for them to remind DIY of all the help Pretty Deadly’s given them to keep the titles! Ciampa says what is important is that you respect this moment of silence!

The fans boo more, but now Aldis walks out here. He apologizes for interrupting, but after everything DIY has pulled, they have no business making demands about those titles. That’s Aldis’ job! As for Pretty Deadly, they don’t deserve a title shot, but they can earn one. How about Pretty Deadly VS DIY in a non-title match. If Pretty Deadly wins, they’ll be in line for a title shot. And that match? It starts right now! Ciampa & Gargano are furious! They’re not dressed to compete at all! This is unprofessional! But will DIY just have to put up or shut up? We find out, after the break!

#DIY VS Pretty Deadly!

SmackDown returns, the match is already going, and Ciampa has Elton in a headlock. Elton powers up and puts Ciampa in a corner, but the ref counts. Elton backs off, but Ciampa THRWOS Elton down by his hair! Ciampa stomps Elton in the corner, then taunts Kit before he tags Gargano. Gargano whips Ciampa in, but Elton ELBOWS Ciampa back! Elton then DUMPS Gargano onto the apron! Gargano falls to the floor, Elton TOSSES Ciampa out to join him! Elton crawls, the fans fire up, but Gargano grabs Elton’s legs! Elton KICKS Gargano away, hot tag to Kit! Kit rallies on Johnny Wrestling with big forearms!

Kit whips, Gargano reverses, but Kit UPPERCUTS Gargano down! Ciampa is on the apron but Kit TOSSES him in! Kit stomps away, the fans fi reup, but Gargano runs up! Kit catches him for a SIDE EFFECT! Ciampa runs up, Kit waistlocks but Ciampa elbows free! Kit yoyos to LARIAT! The fans fire up and Kit tags Elton. #YESBOY! Kit & Elton run to the corners to UPPERCUT Gargano & Ciampa! Then Kit & Elton trade, UPPERCUTS for Ciampa & Gargano! They go again, but while Elton UPPERCUTS Ciampa, Gargano dodges Kit! Gargano then sends Elton at Kit, but Elton gives Kit a boost, DRY MARTI-KNEES! Elton covers, Ciampa breaks it!

Ciampa drags Gargano to their corner, then tags himself in. Kit runs up but Ciampa trips him! Ciampa POSTS Kit, but Elton dodges his haymaker! Elton UPPERCUTS, and fans actually cheer Pretty Deadly on! Ciampa ROCKS Elton, Elton ROCKS Ciampa, repeat! Elton UPPERCUTS again, but Ciampa still fires forearms! They go back and forth, then Ciampa CHOPS! Elton roars and eggs Ciampa on! Ciampa HEADBUTTS, ROCKS, and BOOTS Elton! Elton goes to the corner, BOOTS back, but Gargano is there to grab hair! Elton DECKS Gargano! Ciampa O’Conner Rolls Elton, holding ropes! But Kit BOOTS Ciampa! Elton has Ciampa, with ropes! PRETTY DEADLY WINS!!

Winners: Pretty Deadly, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contenders to the WWE Tag Team Championships)

Just as DIY stands for, you gotta do it yourself! That’s just what Pretty Deadly did here, and they’ve got their shot at the titles! Will we be saying #YesBoy to NEW tag team champions?

 

The Miz talks with Andrade backstage.

The A-Lister admits to El Idolo that he was impressed last week. Andrade has great in-ring ability. With that ability and Miz’s expertise, Andrade could learn so much. Andrade says he did learn! He learned how to beat Miz. Miz tries to laugh that off, but Andrade leaves. Cody walks past and Miz says just the guy he wanted to see! “Can you believe this young crop of talent? They don’t have the respect for guys like us. These guys, they would never have our backs. Don’t you worry, we’re old school. I’ll always have your back.” Cody says he doesn’t need that. Oh, well, okay, Miz gets it. Road to WrestleMania, very exciting, very unpredictable.

Miz knows how it was last year. It was Cody’s story. The entire world was behind Cody Rhodes! But now, you heard ’em. It’s Jey’s story. Miz gets Cody wants to be a good guy, be Jey’s friend, but we know what this title does to friendships. Kevin Owens, for example. Miz is just saying, what if Jey Uso does choose Cody? Is Cody still gonna be Jey’s friend? Because to be honest, Jey VS Cody in the main event of WrestleMania is one hell of a story. Miz heads out, and we see Shinsuke Nakamura lurking in the shadows. What is going to happen as this Road to WrestleMania takes more twists and turns?

 

Men’s Elimination Chamber Qualifier Triple Threat: Jimmy Uso VS LA Knight VS Drew McIntyre!

With spots filling up fast in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match, SmackDown is giving #BigJim, The Mega Star, and the Scottish Terminator a huge opportunity. There will be even more qualifiers on Monday, so who will represent the blue brand in Toronto?

Before the match, McIntyre grabs a mic to say after he was eliminated from behind by a coward, he want to the back very angry, he may’ve torn some things up, said some things, then he got in his car. He drove from Indy back to Nashville, slept in his own bed, full of rage. And when he woke up in the morning, he suddenly had clarity. He had an epiphany. He got out of his huge bed in his huge house, alongside his hot wife, looked in the mirror and said, “By God, you are jacked and handsome, Drew McIntyre.” But then why is he so angry? He realized, it is a product of his environment. Raw is a toxic workplace! They all stab you in the back, they all have egos!

If you’re a good person just telling the truth, you’re apparently the bad guy. That bald idiot, Adam Pearce, has no idea what he’s doing! McIntyre needed a solution, and that’s when he got a call on his phone. Nick Aldis was calling. They’ve known each other since they were teenagers, and Aldis told McIntyre that he wants McIntyre on SmackDown. Aldis promised no more BS, McIntyre can finally be unleashed, Drew can be Drew 100%. So why is McIntyre here? He’s here for Cody Rhodes. Not even specifically Cody, but what Cody has, what was stolen from McIntyre, what should’ve been his all along: THE Undisputed WWE Championship!

The fans are torn, but here comes Jimmy! #BigJim has a mic to say, “Is it me? Tell me it’s not just me.” But every single week, McIntyre comes out here, lives in the past, and he sounds like… Like an angry ex-girlfriend. Drew complaining, “They stole it from me~!” Homie, nobody stole nothing from you, you lost it! And now he’s standing out here, acting like he doesn’t have to earn his spot! Drew has to get through Jimmy, he has to get through LA Knight, and Jimmy’s here to earn his. Drew says yeah, that’s cool. A couple weeks ago, Drew would be angry at what Jey had to say. Oh, Jimmy, sorry!

Jimmy laughs that off, and Drew says it has been 20 years, he still can’t tell them apart. But Drew says it must eat Jimmy alive that, with how he and his twin brother are so similar, just as talented, that maybe Jimmy would be where Jey was, if he’d just said YEET first. Jimmy says that’s funny. But remember who is in front of you. This is Big Bruh, Big Jim! If he wants to say yeet, he can say it. Watch! YEET! If he wants to say NO YEET, he can. Watch! NO YEET! So reminder, Jimmy’s got to get his, punch his ticket, go to Vegas, cash the chips, and get his! So yeah, there is a difference. Jey clocked his. Where’s Drew’s?

So if Drew wants to go to Mania, he’s gotta go through Big Jim! Then he’s gotta get through Elimination Chamber! But Jimmy doesn’t live in the past. He’s here in the present, ready to kick Drew’s ass! Jimmy Uso is going to WrestleMania, Uce! Mics drop, but the Mega Star finally joins in! And he of course has a mic to say, “Let me go and get right to this. Jimmy Uso, Big Jim, whatever you wanna call yourself, I ain’t got any love for you. You’re the main reason I didn’t become WWE Champion just a little over a year ago. So I ain’t got any love for you, but I ain’t gonna complain about it, I’m gonna make good on it tonight.

“But… If I could for a second, I do need to say this. In my life, in my career, I wanna be somebody who affects good change before I die. So I’m gonna speak to all the men, all the boys here in Memphis tonight and around the world. I mean this from the bottom of my heart: If something arises in your life that hits you in the feels and you have to cry, let it out. It’s good for your mental health, it’s good for you, it doesn’t make you any less of a man.” Memphis cheers that! Knight says with that, there is a line where it becomes too much. There are there guarantees in this life: Death, taxes, and Drew McIntyre crying like a damn baby!

Knight says BAH GAWD, Monday through Friday, every single week, Drew just cries! Knight’s pretty sure he heard someone back here say it was “Drew McIncryer.” But to get the silliness out of the way, what we’re talking bout is WrestleMania, and Elimination Chamber, and Knight giving Drew and Jimmy something real to cry about. And that is Knight giving them both three just like that, all their dreams getting dashed, and so it goes. Oh, wait, Knight forgot to get his stuff in. Memphis, tell ’em whose game this is: “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!!” The fans are fired up and this one couldn’t be any more intense! But will it blow the roof off the place? We find out, after the break.

SmackDown returns, the match is already going, and Jimmy & Knight are actually working together to stomp a mudhole into Drew! “YEAH! NO YEET! YEAH! NO YEET!” but then Jimmy TOSSES Knight! Knight stays on the apron, RAMS into Jimmy, but Drew runs up! Knight slingshots to SHOUDLER TAKCLE Drew! Knight stomps away on Jimmy in a corner, “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Drew SLAPS Knight, so Knight SLAPS Drew! They scrap, Drew wants a sleeper but Jimmy HEADBUTTS him, then HEADBUTTS Knight! Jimmy CHOPS Knight, CHOPS again, then whips him to a corner. Knight reverses, Jimmy goes up and over, and he mule kicks Knight!

Jimmy pops ‘n’ locks and UPPERCUTS Knight! Drew CLOBBERS Jimmy, stomps away on Knight, then soaks up the heat from Memphis. Drew stands Jey up to CHOP him! Jey ends up on ropes, Drew storms up to whip him, but Jimmy ducks ‘n’ dodges to fireman’s carry and SAMOAN DROP! Cover, but Knight breaks it! Knight stands Jimmy up but Jimmy UPPERCUTS first! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Jimmy pops ‘n’ locks again, but Knight dodges the shot to scoop and POWERSLAM! Knight fires up, the fans are with him, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!” Knight runs, into a GLASGOW KISS HEADBUTT!

Drew snarls as he stands over Knight, then he stalks Knight to the ropes. Drew stands Knight up to reel him in, for a BROKEN ARROW! Perhaps a shot at Damian Priest just because? Drew BROKEN ARROWS Jimmy, too! Drew storms up to stomp Jimmy’s hand! Jimmy staggers to a corner but Drew CHOPS him! Drew whips Jimmy corner to corner hard, then he goes to Knight. Drew clinches to OVERHEAD SUPLEX Knight across the way! The fans are torn but Drew soaks up the cheers and jeers. Drew brings Jimmy around to whip, but Jimmy reverses to TOSS Drew out! Jimmy then DIVES, down goes Drew in front of the desk!

But Knight WRECKS Jimmy into the desk! Knight then brings Drew up to DRIBBLE him off the desk! “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Jimmy storms up but Knight counter punches him! And now Knight DRIBBLES Jimmy off the desk! “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight brings Jimmy around for one more big SMACK! Knight stands on the desk, the fans fire up with him, and SmackDown goes picture in picture.

Knight drags Drew around by his legs, stomps him low, then goes to Jimmy. Knight puts Jimmy in the ring, then along the apron. Knight CLUBS Jimmy in the chest, then storms up on Drew. Drew kicks low, then POSTS Knight! Drew goes back to Jimmy, pulls him against the ropes, and ROCKS him with a right! Drew goes looking under the ring, and he brings out a TABLE! But then seeing the fans cheer, he puts the table back under! The fans give thumbs down but Drew stomps Jimmy. Drew stomps Jimmy to a corner, stomps him more, then paces around. Drew shakes his head at those booing him, and then he drags Knight up from the apron.

Drew TOSSES Knight into the ring, stalks him to ropes, and scoops him, only for Knight to slip free! Knight shoves Drew into buckles, then hits a JUMPING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Drew stays in this but Knight stomps him. Jimmy CHOPS Knight, Knight CHOPS Jimmy! They CHOP back and forth, then Knight fires a haymaker! And another! And another! Jimmy goes to a corner, Knight bumps him off buckles. Knight brings Jimmy around, but Jimmy fights the suplex! Jimmy wrenches out, ROUNDHOUSES Knight down, but Drew fires knees on Jimmy! Jimmy UPPERCUTS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again!

Jimmy whips, Drew reverses, but Jimmy goes up, only for Drew to KICK him out of the air! Cover, TWO! Knight is also there, but maybe a split second late. Drew TOSSES Knight out either way, then he hoists Jimmy up top. SmackDown returns to single picture, CHOPS him, then catches his breath. Drew climbs, fires hands, then brings Jimmy up to the very top! But Jimmy fights the superplex! Jimmy trips Drew and Drew lands bad on his claymore! Jimmy HEADBUTTS Drew into the Tree of Woe, but Knight ROCKS Jimmy! Knight stomps away on Drew, but Jimmy ROCKS Knight! But Knight SPRINGS right up!

But then Drew sits up! SPIDER GERMAN SUPERPLEX COMBO!!! The fans are thunderous as all three men are down! “This is Awesome!” as Drew, Knight and Jimmy all stir. Drew crawls over to bring Knight up, and he CHOPS! Knight CHOPS! Drew CHOPS! The CHOPS go back and forth, then Drew kicks low! FUTURE- NO, Knight wrenches out to kick and DDT! Knight goes up the corner, “L! A! KNIGHT!” DOUBLE JUMP ELBOW DROP! Cover, Jimmy breaks it! Jimmy was faster on that save than Knight was earlier, but all three men are down again. Jimmy drags Knight into a facelock, then brings him up.

Jimmy fireman’s carries, but Knight slips free! Knight kicks, but no BFT as Drew SPINEBUSTERS Knight! Jackknife bridge, TWO!! Knight survives but then Drew dodges Jimmy! NECKBREAKER! Drew kips up and the fans are torn. Drew aims at Jimmy from a corner, then gives the countdown! “THREE! TWO! ONE!” SUPERKICK from Jimmy! Jimmy LARIATS Drew up and out! Knight fires hands on Jimmy! Knight whips, Jimmy KICKS back, but then Knight blocks the next one! Only for the DRAGON WHIP to find him! SUPERKICK! Knight falls into the drop zone, Jimmy climbs up top, USO SPLASH!! Cover, DREW YANKS THE REF OUT!

The fans boo but Jimmy grabs Drew! Drew fights back but Jimmy HOTSHOTS! Jimmy SUPERKICKS Drew onto the desk! Jimmy goes up the corner again, to USO SPLASH Knight, only to get knees! Knight cradles, TWO!! Jimmy survives, but Drew is back! Knight kicks Jimmy, CLAYMORE BFT COMBO!!!! Cover, DREW WINS!

Winner: Drew McIntyre, by pinfall (advances to Elimination Chamber)

The Scottish Terminator takes down two targets at once, and now he’s going to fight for a golden opportunity! Cena, Punk, McIntyre, who else will be in this massive match?

 

Backstage interview with Damian Priest.

Byron Saxton is with The Punisher and says after seeing Drew qualify for the Elimination Chamber, what is his reaction? Priest says Drew’s having a good day today. Because if he wasn’t, he’d be complaining on the internet about it by now. But that aside, Priest is going to go to that same match and eliminate Drew just like he did in the Royal Rumble. But Braun Strowman steps in to say while he appreciates Priest’s enthusiasm, he’s putting the wagon before the horse. Priest has to qualify for that match, and next week, Priest is in the ring with two of the biggest and baddest the WWE has to offer.

Priest gets that. Braun and Priest have both walked out of WrestleMania as champion. And Jacob Fatu probably will walk out of Mania as champion one day. But Priest is taking out the both of them so he can go on to WrestleMania and face a current champion. Braun says Priest is overlooking the fact that he’s not in the ring with two normal human beings. He’ll be in there with a wild animal, and also with the Monster of All Monsters. Priest says he isn’t overlooking anything. Punisher, Samoan Werewolf and #OneBigSOB, who will be the baddest man on SmackDown after that Triple Threat?

 

Kevin Owens speaks.

In another video from his car, the Prizefighter says, “I’ve been through a lot, me and you, over the years. A lot. But I don’t think we’ve ever been through like what happened on Saturday. You see these scars? These stitches? These scars I’m always gonna have on my face? And the trauma that you can’t see but that I can feel. In my neck and my spine, the pain I’ve been in all week, and that I’m still experiencing right now, it’s probably never gonna go away. Not completely. I’m gonna have to live with that. And it’s all your fault. Because, Sami, you stood there and watched while Cody tried to end my career. Worse, y’know, I think he was actually trying to end my…

“And you stood there and did nothing. And then later on, I watched the Royal Rumble match, and what do I see but you rushing to the aid of Roman Reigns because someone’s beating him up in the corner. But me? For me? You did nothing! You’re a horrible friend. You’re a disgusting human being. And I’ll never forgive you. Never. But I am gonna make you pay. You’re gonna pay.” The Prizefighter’s bitterness has turned on the man he called a brother. What won’t Kevin do to destroy Sami Zayn once and for all?

 

Carmelo Hayes VS Akira Tozawa!

After being the very first man eliminated in this year’s rumble, Melo took his anger out on whoever was next. It was just bad luck for The Stamina Monster that it was him. But now, will Tozawa take his anger out in return? Or will Melo dunk on the Alpha Academy just to get his L back?

Melo has a mic as he makes his entrance, and he tells Tozawa that Tozawa is not talking about airballs looking like a Cody Rhodes that got left in the dryer too long. Because when Melo shoots, he don’t miss. When he’s in Memphis, they call him Ja Melo-rant! But the big difference between H1M and Ja, is that if there’s an all star team, Melo would be selected. The fans boo but then Tozawa WRECKS Melo with a dropkick! The fans fire up as Tozawa sends Melo into the apron, then into the barrier! Tozawa puts Melo in, the bell rings, and Tozawa runs up, but into an ELBOW! Melo seethes, then runs up, but into a BOOT!

Tozawa goes up and FLYIGN RANAS! Melo tumbles out but Tozawa hurries to PLANCHA! Down goes Melo, Memphis fires up with Tozawa, and he brings Melo up while SmackDown goes to break.

Cover, Melo wins!

Winner: Carmelo Hayes, by pinfall

Melo Don’t Miss, but it does help that he wasn’t up against towering opponents this time. But will this just be the first win in a new streak for H1M?

 

R-Truth helps Akira Tozawa backstage.

Truth says just like his childhood hero, John Cena, would say, you just never give up! But then Truth sees someone else, and he DROPS Tozawa! Truth says hey to Jey Uso! Truth congratulates Jey, and says he always say Jey as a king. Now he’s King of the Ring! Uh, Truth, he won the Royal Rumble. Oh, that, too! Jey asks what happened to Tozawa, and Truth says Tozawa yeet’d on himself. What? Truth goes back to help Tozawa, and Cody walks in. Cody asks Jey how he’s feeling about WrestleMania. Jey says he would like to go face to face with Cody, but he’s got the personal beef with Gunther. Jey says he’s undecided right now.

Jey heads out, and that news doesn’t seem to help Cody. Will things be sorted out by the end of tonight?

 

Charlotte Flair is here!

Memphis has a warmer reception for The Queen than Cleveland did as she struts out to the ring. She already visited Raw on Monday and even NXT on Tuesday, so she’s finishing out her post-Rumble week with the blue brand. Charlotte has someone hold ropes open for her before she steps into the spotlight. Charlotte hears the fans “WOO~!” while she grabs a mic. “Hi, Memphis~. So what’s it gonna be tonight? Do you love me?” Fans cheer that! “Or do you hate me?” Fans boo that? “See when you boo, you know what I hear? Money~!” Charlotte says the fans can’t make up their minds, but that’s fine, because it means she lives rent free in all of our minds.

Charlotte is wrestling’s obsession! Her looks, her championships, her last name, and everything Charlotte Flair! And she knows what we’re thinking: The fans think that she thinks that just because her last name is “Flair,” that she’s just better than everyone. But that’s not the only reason she thinks she’s better! Did you actually think she was going to be gone for 14 MONTHS and not win the Royal Rumble? That she was not going to make history? Charlotte entered the Royal Rumble on February 1st, 2025, with 29 unserious women! There was no way she was going over the top rope.

So here’s the thing: She became the first-ever TWO-TIME Women’s Royal Rumble winner! She punched her ticket to WrestleMania! So here we are on her time. She wants to feel inspired. She went to Raw and saw Rhea Ripley. She went to NXT to see if Giulia would “inspire” her. And now she’s here on SmackDown to see if Tiffany- is here! The fans cheer as Tiffany Stratton heads to the ring, title on her shoulder. Tiffany joins Charlotte in the ring, grabs a mic, and the fans chant, “TIFFY TIME! TIFFY TIME!” Tiff says first off, Charlotte, congratulations and welcome back. Honestly, nobody and she means nobody, is a bigger Charlotte fan than Tiff.

And honestly, Tiff thought WWE couldn’t even survive without Charlotte. Charlotte got hurt, and then everyone cared! For like a day! And then Tiff came along and the sales were up, buildings were selling out, and WWE’s been hotter than ever. And guess who’s at the top of that? Tiffy! Charlotte twitches and asks if Tiff said something. Sweetie, you speak when Charlotte says you can speak. And if you think there are not other women claiming to be on top, Tiff should get in line. Tiff says no, she has been in line. The moment she debuted on TV, Tiff was compared to Charlotte. Tiff is a Charlotte wannabe! Tiff is the next Charlotte Flair!

So Charlotte better pick Tiff. Because on Tiff’s first WrestleMania, she’ll beat Charlotte! Then she’ll no longer be the “next Charlotte Flair,” she’ll be the one and only Tiffany Stratton! The fans like the sound of that! Charlotte says when she was in the ring with Rhea, she saw a kid. Looking at Tiffany, Charlotte sees a child begging her to make a start out of her. So tell you what, Tiffy? If you want Charlotte to choose you, get on your hands and knees and BEG her! Wait! Here comes Nia Jax! The Irresistible Force has Candice LeRae by her side, and a mic in her hand. Nia says this blondie back ‘n’ forth is really cute and all…

But it is a little premature. Right, Candice? Yes! And why is that? Because Nia will be champion again. That’s right! Okay, okay, Nia just spoke with Nick Aldis, and they agreed that instead of Nia facing five other women in the Elimination Chamber, Nia just has to face one next week. Nia steps up into the ring, and yes, she and Tiff are going 1v1 for the WWE Women’s Championship that Tiff stole from Nia! So Charlotte, if you wanna be Women’s Champion at WrestleMania, you’ll have to go through Nia. Charlotte says this just got interesting. She’ll stick around and watch next week, and see what happens.

But now, ALEXA BLISS makes her entrance! Nia may have her title rematch, but Lil’ Miss Bliss is ready to fight the Poison Pixie for a spot in the Elimination Chamber! Will things get a lot more twisted in Toronto? We find out, after the break!

Women’s Elimination Chamber Qualifier: Alexa Bliss VS Candice LeRae!

SmackDown returns and the bell rings. Bliss and Candice slowly circle, tie up, and Bliss headlocks. Candice powers up and out, Bliss goes Spider-Woman int he ropes, then CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO! Candice and Bliss both slowly stand, and Candice steadies herself. They circle again, tie up, and Candice knees low! Candice soaks up heat, but then Bliss choke grips! S T O! INSULT2INJURY! Bliss then waits on Candice, clinches, and fans fire up for SISTER- NO, Candice slips free to EDGE-O-MATIC! Cover, TWO! Candice CLUBS Bliss down, pushes her around, then pushes her to a cover, TWO! Bliss is still in this and the fans rally.

Candice stalks Bliss, cravats and snapmares, then NECK SNAPPERS! Cover, TWO! Bliss is still in this and Candice grows frustrated. Candice CLUBS Bliss, pushes her down, and has knees in her back bow a modified Bow ‘n’ Arrow. The fans rally as Bliss endures, but then Candice flips her over. Bliss fires body shots, but Candice RAMS her into buckles! Candice RAMS Bliss again, throws body shots, but lets off as the ref counts. Candice storms back up on Bliss, KICKS her in the side, then stands her up. Candice RAMS Bliss, stomps a mudhole into her, then lets off to soak up heat. Candice goes back to Bliss but Bliss drop toeholds her into buckles!

The fans cheer, Bliss climbs the corner, but Candice ROCKS her first! Candice climbs up, brings Bliss up to join her, but Bliss fires body shots! Bliss CLUBS Candice, then HEADBUTTS her down! Bliss stands on the very top, but Candice goes to the apron. Bliss hops down, but Candice hits her with an APRON FLATLINER! Candice does a rather DIY self-applause while SmackDown goes to break.

SmackDown returns as Candice has Bliss in a motorcycle stretch. Bliss endures as her arms are pulled back and Candice digs her knee in. The fans rally for Bliss, she fights up, but Candice uses her forehead for leverage. Bliss pries free, JAWBREAKERS Candice, but Candice CODE BREAKERS in return! Cover, TWO! Bliss stays in this and the fans rally up again. Candice seethes and storms up on Bliss. Candice kicks Bliss and slaps her around. Candice says Bliss came back when no one wants her here. Candice pie faces Bliss, but Bliss snarls. The fans fire up and Bliss shrieks! Bliss rallies on Candice with shoulder tackle after shoulder tackle!

Bliss hits a THESZ PRESS, rains down hands, then blocks a kick to spin and SLAP, ROCK, and DROPKICK Candice down! The fans fire up with Bliss and Candice goes to ropes. Bliss runs up to DOUBLE KNEE, then she YANKS Candice down! BLOCKBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Candice goes to the apron, Bliss storms up to her, but Candice has her in the ropes! HOTSHOT NECKBREAKER! Bliss staggers away, Candice goes up, MISSILE DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! Bliss survives, and the screen glitches with some familiar imagery… Candice is frustrated, but she storms back up on Bliss. Candice cradles Bliss, Bliss turns it, and now they roll and roll and roll!

The fans cheer as this cradle rolls around and around, falls apart, and both women stand up in a daze. Candice ENZIGIRIS, then runs, but into a clinch! Bliss wipes her lips, then shifts into the SIDEWINDER DDT! Cover, Bliss wins!

Winner: Alexa Bliss, by pinfall (advances to Elimination Chamber)

Things got twisted in the end, and now Bliss goes from surprise return to a big name in the Elimination Chamber match! Will Bliss be able to bring down Bianca, Liv, and whoever else joins them?

 

Backstage interview with Chelsea Green & Piper Niven.

Byron is with the Hot Mess and her Secret Her-vice, congratulating Bliss on entering the Elimination Chamber match. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for his guests at this time. But Chelsea does have a chance next week, if she beats Naomi. Chelsea says it isn’t “if” but when she beats Naomi. She’ll beat Naomi, beat all those “nasty girls” in Elimination Chamber, then she, her Secret Her-vice, and her motorcade will sail off into the sunset that is WrestleMania, where Chelsea will become a double champ! But then Mia Yim & B-Fab walk up and have Chelsea hold on. Because speaking of eliminations, Chelsea eliminating B-Fab is not in the back of her mind, but the front.

Mia says Chelsea might make it into the Chamber match, but she might not be US Champion. Stop stalling. We all know the inevitable. Piper says the inevitable will pound Mia’s face in! But then Zelina Vega walks by, looks at the US Championship, and thinks yes, that could work. So since she’s on SmackDown now, maybe Zelina gets her own shot at the title? Piper asks what is going on! Chelsea says Piper was supposed to get a bigger security detail, so get it already! But so many people hate Chelsea! Are the walls closing in on the Hot Mess and her title reign?

 

The Street Profits speak.

Angelo Dawkins says, “What? You thought you was gonna win the tag team championships and not see us? Motor City, we wouldn’t even be in the position right now if you didn’t give our opportunity away! DIY, your days are numbered, cuz we coming for you. Every time the Street Profits get close to the tag team titles, somebody just wants to show up. Somebody wants to appear outta nowhere! Somebody just wants to screw us over! Well no more! Life’s a crutch, and y’all can finally say y’all saw me walk around with this thing!” Dawkins tosses the crutch, and Montez Ford is fired up!

Ford says he loves that! The passion! He sees it! He feels it! He knows it! And congrats, everybody, you officially pissed off the Profits. But you know what they don’t like? All these strangers coming in here, making shots like they’ve been here the whole time. How many brothers and tag teams are we gonna see turn on each other, just to see them mend back together because they know the grass isn’t greener on the other side? So sad. Profits always run together, stay together, and this violence will be televised. May God have mercy on your souls, because the Profits want the smoke. Will that smoke come from the Profits burning down their enemies?

 

Backstage interview with Motor City Machine Guns.

Byron is with Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin, and with the Rumble come and gone, we just heard some “harsh comments” from the Profits. Has MCMG had a chance to process? Shelley says yes, they had a chance to process everything. What happened at the Rumble? It’s just what The Profits said. But if this is their backyard, then come and kick MCMG out! Sabin says that was the biggest match of their career, and they had DIY beat. They would be tag team champions now! But then in steps Los Garza! And Angel says no, no, no. Not so fast! MCMG needs to stop complaining and get over it!

Berto says time to let it go. MCMG lost, just let new teams step up to the plate. Wow, funny they’re talking about stepping up. Because last week, when MCMG needed Los Garza to step up, what’d they do? They walked out! Shelley says Los Garza couldn’t take the heat, so they got out of the kitchen. Now, if they wanna step up to MCMG, then by all means! Elektra Lopez steps in and asks if they’re looking for a fight. Santos Escobar steps in and says he understands their frustration, he really does. No one is more upset with The Profits than Legado Del Fantasma. The reason being is the Profits started this whole mess attacking Los Garza for no reason.

And if you remember, that on top of all the other opportunities ripped away, puts Legado in a really frustrated state. So if it’s a fight you’re looking for, you’ve got it. Los Garza VS MCMG next week, be prepared. Santos leads his team away, will Angel y Berto finally get up the ranks to go after the gold?

 

Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso VS Jacob Fatu & Tama Tonga!

The American Nightmare wants to know who he’ll be facing at WrestleMania, and Main Event Jey Uso is still working out that decision. The Samoan Werewolf wants to make it real easy for both of them by tearing down “Big Cousin” Jey and tearing Cody apart! Will Jacob be the only one getting what he wants? Or will Cody & Jey make sure Jacob & Tama just get what they deserve?

SmackDown returns and Cody makes his entrance once again, “WHOA~ OH~!” Then Jacob & Tama make their entrance. The teams sort out, Tama starts against Cody, and the bell rings. The fans rally behind Cody and he kicks Tama low. Cody reels Tama in, suplexes, but Tama slips free. Tama shoves Cody away, then tags to Jacob. Jacob and Cody circle, then Jacob fires up.

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 2.6.2025

Can the Nemeths take the titles off of the IWCs favorite tag team Fraxiom?

Published

on

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.

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.

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.

PLAY BY PLAY

Blake Christian VS Adam Priest!

The “Vanilla Baby” is looking to keep his win streak alive, and maybe even go for some gold. But will Blake continue to act like he isn’t All Heat? Or will Priest pry the truth out of this Christian?

The Code of Honor is not upheld as Blake flips Priest off! The bell rings, and Priest takes that finger and bends it! The fans cheer as Priest waistlocks, but Blake switches. Blake half nelsons, snapmares, and then SLAPS Priest in the face! Blake eggs Priest on and Priest storms up, but Blake hits a headlock takeover. Priest fights to a headscissors and he squeezes tight. Blake kips free, arm-drags, then avoids Priest’s arm-drag! Blake lounges on the ropes, the ref reprimands and the fans boo, but Priest runs up. Blake BOOTS Priest, rolls him up, TWO! Blake whips Priest, Priest reverses to drop down then arm-drag!

Blake hits a headlock takeover, and he traps Blake’s arm. The fans cheer while Priest grinds Blake down. Blake headscissors, Priest kips free, and then Priest ducks a punch to SLAP Blake in return! The fans cheer and Priest storms up on Blake. Blake bails out, the fans chant, “Let’s Go, Blue Pants!” and Priest gives a thumbs up. Blake storms up but Priest catches him in the ropes! Priest UPPERCUTS Blake, whips, but Blake blocks! Priest tries again but Blake ROUNDHOUSES! Blake throws Priest into the ropes, then he hits a basement 619! The fans boo but Blake springboards to FLYING LARIAT Priest down!

Blake taunts the fans as they boo more, then Blake stalks Priest to the apron. Blake goes up a corner, but Priest anchors Blake’s legs! Blake CLAWS Priest’s face, then waits for Priest to crawl into the ring, GUILLOTINE LEG DROP! Cover, TWO! Priest survives and the fans fire up for him! Blake TOSSES Priest out to the floor, then hurries out to put him against railing. Blake grinds Priest’s head into the railing, then dares the fans to cheer Blue Pants now. Priest elbows free, but Blake hits low! Blake snap suplexes Priest to the floor! The fans rally but Blake stalks Priest. Blake fires haymakers, pushes Priest in, but fans continue to cheer on Blue Pants.

Blake wrenches an arm to top wristlock, then he throat chops! The fans boo, the ref checks Priest, but Blake was good at hiding that cheap shot.

It’s a bridging crossface! Priest TAPS, Blake wins!

Winner: Blake Christian, by submission

Blake served Priest a #VanillaChokeZero and clearly Priest can’t stand it! Blake doesn’t care if you don’t like the taste, will he still get win after win until he’s golden?

 

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

While the Ivy League MVP, Perro Peligroso & the Diamond in the Rough rejected Jacked Jameson, these three did seem to like his idea of a fighting fraternity. Will Griff & Vance keep their winning ways going? Or will The Parea show their power?

The Code of Honor is not kept as Griff & Vance slap away The Parea’s hands. The teams sort out, Griff starts against Eli, and the bell rings. Griff and Eli tie up, then Griff throws Eli right down! Eli gets up in a huff, circles with Griff, and they tie up again. Griff waistlocks, Eli reaches back to headlock, and Eli grinds the hold. Griff powers up and out but Eli goes up and over! Eli atomic drops, talks some smack, then wrenches. Tag to Aeros and they double whip. Aeros sends Eli in for a SPLASH! Then Eli gives Aeros a boost on the BACK ELBOW! Eli snapmares Griff while Aeros talks smack on Vance. Aeros then basement DROPKICKS Griff! Cover, ONE!

Aeros clamps onto Griff, wrenches the arm, then tags Eli. Aeros feeds Griff to Eli’s scoop and SLAM! Eli fires the fans up before doing a Greek two-step. But wait, Jacked Jameson appears? And he tells Eli to take this seriously, bro! Eli asks what Jameson is doing out here, as does the referee. Jameson argues with Aubrey but that lets Vance reach out and SLAP Eli! Griff then BOOTS Eli down! Griff rains down forearms on Eli, then TOSSES him tot he floor! Tag to Vance, then Griff BLASTS Aeros! Vance sends Eli into railing! And then more railing! And then even more railing! The fans are torn but Vance sends Eli back into railing!

Griff hops down and he helps Vance mug Eli! Aeros protests but Vance ROCKS Eli before he slides into the ring. Jameson gets a cheap shot in! Well, it’s clear he still wants to be part of the team. Eli drags himself into the ring but Vance is right on him! Vance suplexes, and he holds Eli up for a count of TEN before the SLAM! Vance taunts Aeros with his own two-step! Vance drags Eli up, bumps him off buckles, then tags Griff. Vance sends Griff in for a LARIAT! Griff CHOPS Eli, sits him down, then taunts Aeros. The refs tops Aeros, and that lets Vance CHOKE Eli! Griff CLUBS Eli, then he tags Vance.

The frat boys mug Eli and the fans rally up. Eli fires body shots but Vance CLUBS him down! Vance says he shut that down real quick. Vance scoops Eli to SLAM him, then says “SUCK IT!” Vance runs to then casually ELBOW DROP! Vance puts Eli in the corner, tags Griff, and the mugging continues. Griff scoops Eli to then flex with one arm! Griff SLAMS Eli, covers, TWO! Griff facelocks Eli to keep him down. The fans rally, Eli endures, and Aeros coaches Eli up. Eli fights up, fires body shots, then BACKDROPS free! The fans rally as Eli and Griff crawl, hot tags to Vance and Aeros! Aeros LARIATS Vance! And ELBOWS him!

Aeros fireman’s carries Vance, but Griff makes the save! Vance dodges Aeros, Griff ROLLING ELBOWS him! Vance DISCUS LARIATS Aeros down, then covers, the frat wins!

Winners: Griff Garrison & Preston Vance, by pinfall

Whether or not they needed the help, Jameson did play a part in this. And at least for now, they’re letting him flex with ’em. Will this new quartet soon take over ROH?

 

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. Sammy powers up and back suplexes, but Mansoor lands out! Sammy runs, Mansoor follows then RUNS Sammy over!

The fans are torn but Mansoor then fakes the run to POSE! Mansoor runs for real, but Sammy is up, he hurdles then backflips over to RUN Mansoor over! Now Sammy hits a POSE! Mason is furious but the fans like it. Sammy then runs, but Mansoor stays low and hurdles. Mansoor backflips, but Sammy lets him FLOP! Sammy then runs to run Mansoor over again! 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?

 

ROH Women’s World Television Championship: Red Velvet VS Robyn Renegade!

While waiting on LEGIT Leyla’s return, The Chef continues to cook opponent after opponent. Will she serve up another L here in Daily’s Place? Or will this Renegade run away with Red’s gold?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who has the sweeter Homecoming!

The Code of Honor is upheld, if just barely, and the bell rings. The two circle, tie up, and Velvet headlocks. Robyn powers up but Velvet thrashes!

Velvet goes to another corner, Robyn runs up again, and Robyn blocks a boot, to then DECK Velvet! Velvet flounders against ropes and Robyn storms up on her. Robyn CHOKES Velvet, the ref counts and the fans boo. Robyn talks trash, then lets off at 4. Robyn stalks Velvet to a corner to CHOP! Velvet DOUBLE CHOPS! Robyn ROCKS Velvet, Velvet ROCKS Robyn, and Robyn CLUBS Velvet! Robyn whips corner to corner, but Velvet reverses! Robyn goes up and over, then DROPKICKS Velvet down!

Velvet bails out, the fans are torn but Robyn soaks up both cheers and jeers. Robyn eggs Velvet on, Velvet takes her time with that 20 count, but Robyn builds speed! But Velvet catches Robyn in the apron skirt! Velvet fires hands and a DOUBLE CHOP! The fans fire up and Velvet CHOPS Robyn down! The ring count restarts, but Velvet steps on Robyn to get on the apron. Robyn flops out of the apron skirt while Velvet leaves her behind. Robyn springs in at 10 of 20, so Velvet stomps away on her! Velvet “kicks dirt,” but Robyn rolls her up! TWO, and both women hurry up! Velvet CALF KICKS Robyn down! Cover, TWO!

Velvet is annoyed but she clamps onto Robyn with a chinlock. Velvet grinds Robyn down into a cover, TWO! Robyn stays in this but Velvet kneels on her for a sneaky choke! The ref sees it, though, and he counts. Velvet steps off at 4, then runs to DOUBLE KNEE Robyn against ropes! Velvet CHOKES Robyn now, then lets off to say she’s the champ because she’s gorgeous, smart and- Robyn rolls her up! Robyn puts her feet on the ropes! The ref sees that and stops the count! Velvet grins as she escapes that one, then she rolls Robyn up! But Velvet reaches out for the ropes, and the ref easily sees that! No count and Velvet apologizes.

Velvet lets Robyn up, but Robyn body shots! Robyn whips, Velvet reverses, but Robyn slips around. Robyn half nelsons for the FACEBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Velvet survives and Robyn grows frustrated. Robyn drags Velvet up, reels her in, and lifts, but Velvet turns the back suplex into a crossbody! Cover, TWO! Robyn escapes, fires a body shot, then puts Velvet in the ropes! Robyn KNEES Velvet, then DOUBLE STOMPS her down! Velvet slumps out of the ropes, Robyn covers, TWO!! Velvet survives and Robyn is frustrated. Velvet flounders, Robyn brings her up, but Velvet swings! Robyn ducks that, waistlocks, then ducks an elbow, but Velvet hits a DDT!

Both women are down and the fans fire up! Velvet slowly rolls away, and a standing count starts. Both women sit up at 6, go forehead to forehead, then Robyn ROCKS Velvet! Velvet ROCKS Robyn, but Robyn DECKS Velvet! Robyn tells Velvet to stay down, then says Velvet is nothing! Velvet stands, Robyn grabs her by the hair, but Velvet ROCKS Robyn! The fans fire up as Velvet ROCKS Robyn again! Then Velvet fires body shots! Velvet has Robyn in the corner and treats her like a punching bag! The ref counts, Velvet HAMMERS Robyn down, then she tells Robyn to respect the champion! Velvet cools off, but Robyn BOOTS her!

Robyn pump handles Velvet and lifts, but Velvet slips through! Dragon sleeper, STRAIGHT OUT THE KITCHEN!! Cover, Velvet wins!

Winner: Red Velvet, by pinfall (still ROH Women’s World Television Champion)

Robyn brought the fire but she was still the one that got cooked! Velvet holds up her title, then leaves fans hanging on the high-fives. Will Velvet keep serving up those L’s forever?

 

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?

The teams sort out, and in this kind of Fatal 4, only two teams are legal. Daivari starts against Truth, and the fans rally up. Truth and Daivari circle, tie up, and Daivari pulls hair to put Truth in the corner! Tag to Nese and the Premier Athletes mug Truth! The ref counts, Nese & Daivari let off to try again. “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Jacksonville still won’t play along, but Truth CHOPS Nese! Truth fires off, but Nese shoves him back! Truth storms back up, but into a throat chop! The ref reprimands, but Nese hits Truth with the HOTSHOT BULLDOG! Truth staggers away, Reynolds tags in, and he WRECKS Nese with a dropkick!

Daivari runs up but Reynolds ROCKS him, then whips him into railing! Reynolds puts Nese in, goes up the corner, and he CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO! Nese scrambles, Gibson tags in, but Reynolds drop toeholds and basement dropkicks him! Tag to Uno and Dark Order whips Gibson to the corner. The fans chant “Athletes Suck!” but Sterling says no they don’t! Anyway, Uno sends Reynolds in and he LARIATS Gibson! Reynolds feeds Gibson to Uno’s JAWBREAKER, then Reynolds hits a BACKBREAKER! Feed to the DDT! Cover, Drake breaks it! The Premier Athletes storm in, too, but The Outrunners go after them!

The fans fire up as things turn into a brawl between all four teams! Uno has Drake, Reynolds has Gibson, Truth has Daivari and Turbo has Nese! The Dark Order and Outrunners coordinate, and they all climb up! They all rain down fists! The fans fire up as all four corners go up to TEN, for FORTY total! Then they send GYV and Premier Athletes into each other! The fans cheer as things settle back down, and Uno has Gibson. Uno bumps Gibson off buckles, then he tags Reynolds. Dark Order has Gibson, and Uno runs, only for Nese & Daivari to trip him! Reynolds is upset but Gibson KNEES him down! Nese tags in off Gibson, and Nese stomps Reynolds down.

Nese drags Reynolds up to TOSS him out, then Nese argues with the ref. That allows Mark Sterling and Josh Woods to mug Reynolds on the outside! The fans boo but Daivari puts Reynolds in. Nese covers, TWO! Reynolds toughs it out but Nese drags him up. The Outrunners get the fans to chant “ATHLETES SUCK!” again, but Daivari tags in. Daivari stomps away on Reynolds, drags him up, and says you’ll see who sucks! Daivari back suplexes, but Reynolds lands out! Uno tags in, and he fires off hands and CHOPS on the Athletes! But Daivari kicks low! Daivari and Nese whip Uno to the corner, then Daivari runs up, but into an ELBOW!

Nese runs up on Uno but he gets an ELBOW! Uno then grabs them both, bumps Daivari off the buckle, then bumps Nese off it! Uno alternates between them, Sterling protests, but then Uno gives them a meeting of the minds! The fans cheer and Uno whips Daivari. Daivari reverses, Truth tags in! Truth fires hands on Daivari! The fans fire up, Truth snapmares Daivari then runs to drop a knee! Truth brings Daivari up, whips, but Daivari reverses! Drake gets a cheap shot in, but Truth DECKS Drake! Daivari ROCKS Truth, but Gibson tags in! Gibson short arm LARIATS Truth! The fans boo, but Gibson hits a BIG back suplex! Cover, TWO!

Gibson keeps Truth down with a chinlock, and he grinds Truth down. The fans rally as Truth endures. Truth fights up, fires body shots, but Gibson CLUBS Truth down! Gibson then DECKS Uno, talks trash on Turbo, and he brings Truth up. But Truth fires body shots! Truth reaches for Turbo but Gibson holds him back! Gibson tags Drake, GYV whips Truth to the corner! Drake back elbows, Gibson LARIATS, then Drake WHEEL KICKS! Cover, NEse & Daivari break it! They and GYV argue, but they’re letting Truth slip away! The fans fire up but Nese notices! Nese drags Truth back, but Truth BOOTS him into Gibson!

Drake and Daivari attack Truth, and they end up working together! Daivari puts Truth in a corner to CHOP! Then he and Drake double whip Truth to the other corner. Daivari runs up, Truth dodges the splash and then LARIATS Drake! The fans fire up as Truth crawls for his corner! Hot tag to Turbo!

Truth joins in, and he says, “Turbo Floyd! You sonova b*tch!” They shake hands, and then DOUBLE ELBOW DROP on Drake!

Reynolds tosses Nese & Daivari out, then builds speed, but Sterling stands in the way! Uno grabs those papers from Sterling, to THROW them at him! The fans fire up and Mr. Brodie would be proud! Uno then holds the ropes open. Reynolds builds speed to DIVE! Reynolds wipes out the whole Premier Athletes team! The fans fire up, but then GYV give Uno some MAYHEM IN MOTION! 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
