Seth Rollins is here!

Brooklyn fires up for the NEW WWE World Heavyweight Champion as he leads the way for Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed. Rollins wears the title around his waist, Bronson even still has the “Shoe-la Fala,” and they’re all smiling ear to ear after they pulled off The Ruse of the Century. Rollins hugs all his guys in turn, then revels in Brooklyn singing his song, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” The fans also bark for Bron, but there also still those that chant, “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” Heyman laughs before he gives his usual introductions. “And let’s be clear about the evidence that is before you. I am The GOAT!”

The fans boo but Rollins applauds. Heyman says he’s not just the Greatest Of All Time, he is your “humble Oracle. Humbled by the fact that I stand here tonight in the presence of the future of WWE, the big dog who patrols our yard, Bron… Breakker.” Fans do bark for Bron again, and Heyman continues. He is “humbled by the fact that I stand here tonight in the same ring as the Tribal Thief, the owner of the Shoe-la Fala, BIG Bronson Reed! Now at this point, I would be introducing you to the champ, The OTC, Roman… Reigns!” The fans do indeed chant, “O T C! O T C!” Heyman says Roman hasn’t been champion for a year and a half now, has he?

Heyman would be standing here and introducing us to the champion of the world, the Best in the World, C M Punk. The fans do indeed chant, “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” Heyman says Punk wasn’t champion long enough for them to even put the side plates on! All you fans were part of it! Saturday night, not only did Punk have one of the greatest title matches with Gunther, but there he was, thanking the fans for chanting his name, bringing him back to WWE after a decade, and Punk thought he would be married to this title forever. But there he was, Seth Rollins “crashed the wedding and stole the honeymoon with the title, and she was good!”

The fans are a bit torn on that metaphor, but Heyman says they’ll do this proper. “Ladies and gentlemen, the reigning, defending, undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World… SETH! FREAKIN’! RRRRROLLINS~!” The fans are again torn, but the mic is handed over to Rollins, and the fans again sing, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” Rollins tells Brooklyn, “Shame on you!” The fans boo but Rollins says shame on ever single one of them who turned their backs on him after he won the main event of WrestleMania! Shame on those who taunted Rollins with chants of “C M Punk~!” The fans do that again, actually.

Rollins says shame on those who for months taunted Rollins with chants of “O T C!” The fans do that, too. Rollins says here is a lesson: Never, EVER doubt Seth Freakin’ Rollins again! Is Roman the champion? No! Is Punk the champion? NO! Rollins IS the World Heavyweight Champion! And shame on every single one of them who turned their back on Rollins. Rollins has been a marked man for months. Shame not on just those in the crowd and those at home who turned their backs on Rollins, but shame on every single person in that locker room who made it their mission to stop Rollins from successfully cashing in his Money in the Bank contract.

Rollins says everyone back there thought they were so smart. They thought they were so clever, that they were gonna stop him at every single turn. Need Rollins remind you that he always has a Plan B. And this Plan B was top secret. He told two people in the entire world, one was his beautiful, incredible, Intercontinental Champion of a wife, Becky Lynch! The other was his Oracle, Paul Heyman. And together, they achieved what they set out to achieve. They have ABSOLUTE POWER! And there is nobody who can stop them! This IS the past, the present, and the future! This IS the way forward! This IS… The Vision.

But then L A KNIGHT is here! The fans fire up as The Mega Star goes right to the ring, then grabs a mic. The fans cheer Knight on, and he smiles and says, “First of all, uh, congratulations, Visionary. Congratulations, Oracle. Congratulations, morons. But LEMME TALK TO YA!” Brooklyn says “YEAH!” Knight says right now, he isn’t here for a fight. He just wants to answer some questions, because he knows these four left a lot of people wondering. People were thinking, “Wow, Seth Rollins, he had the MITB briefcase, so why would he have to fake an injury? Why would he fake the injury when he already had the case?”

And Knight will tell ya why! Rollins wasn’t faking to get the title. No, Rollins was faking to get outta something else. Let’s rewind our minds a bit, Saturday Night’s Main Event, Knight said he wanted Rollins’ dignity and to hurt him. And what’d Rollins do? Rollins faked an injury and Knight couldn’t hurt him the way he wanted to. So to Rollins’ credit, he got up, ate the BFT, Knight got the 1-2-3. And that is where things get interesting. Because, uh… At this point, Rollins pulled the wool so far over everyone’s eyes, he even blinded himself. Visionary with no vision, even The Oracle didn’t see this coming.

Because see, Knight was off enjoying some time off, taking his time, a vacation, and he tunes into SummerSlam. He sees what Rollins did and told himself, “I gotta get to Brooklyn!” The fans cheer that! So now, Knight is here, looking at Rollins with one thing in mind: Knight was the last man to beat Rollins, and he’ll make damn sure to be the next one to beat Rollins. The only difference being now, is that Rollins has given Knight the ammunition. Last time, Knight wanted to hurt Rollins real bad, and he still wants to hurt Rollins.

The only difference now, Knight will hurt Rollins way worse than before, because he’ll take that World Heavyweight Championship off Rollins, giving him another short reign! And there’s no better place than here, and no better time than now! Rollins and his crew laugh that of a bit, and Rollins says Knight’s got guts. Knight wants to come into Rollins’ ring, challenge him for his World Heavyweight Championship… You don’t think Rollins has the guts? That h’s got the balls? That they should fight here tonight in Brooklyn for the world title!? Seth Freakin’ Rollins VS LA Knight!? The fans say, “YEAH!” Rollins says, “NO.”

Rollins and his crew go to leave, but then Adam Pearce walks out saying, “Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen… Hello, Brooklyn! Pardon the interruption, Seth, I just need to get a couple things off of my chest. normally, I would not make a world championship match with zero promotion. But normally, Seth, normally a WWE superstar have his medical team lie to my medical team week after week after week. Normally, Seth, a World Heavyweight Champion wouldn’t lie to his General Manager, and certainly wouldn’t lie to the WWE Universe! What I’m saying, Seth, is to hell with normal!

It WILL be Seth Freakin’ Rollins VS LA Knight, and it will be for the World Heavyweight Championship! And listen closely, this is my favorite part: It will be tonight in Brooklyn! Oh, and uh, I almost forgot. Since you stole a great moment from the people at SummerSlam, it is only fitting that I steal something from you. Hey, Bron, Bronson, you boys are BANNED FROM RINGSIDE! And all of that is official!” Brooklyn is all fired up, as is Pearce. Knight says it’ll be B F T, 1-2-3! Will we get another NEW World Heavyweight Champion just 48 hours after SummerSlam Saturday?

Judgment Day arrives together.

Dominik Mysterio brags about how he “handled AJ Styles.” No better way to celebrate a 20 year anniversary! Finn Balor says they never doubted him for a second. But he does ask the ladies how they’re holding up after their tag title loss. Raquel says they’re fine. Roxie, let’s go regroup. The ladies head out, and Dom asks what the LWO is doing in his hallway. Uh, his hallway? Yeah! Show some respect to the champ, the King of Luchadores! Dragon Lee says if Dom wants to earn his respect, give respect. Or maybe they can have a match tonight. Dom says he’s on! Then see you out there. Will Dragon Lee get one over on the would-be King of Lucha?

But then in steps AJ Styles! He tells Finn & JD to back up. He isn’t gonna slap Dom around. Yet. But what Dom did last night… Styles says it was clever, with the boot and all. But here’s the thing. Styles is still coming after that title. As long as Dom has it, that means Styles is after Dom. Dom will run out of tricks, and just know that move for move, hold for hold, Styles is one of the best. Dom’s time is running out. Just wanted you to know. Styles heads out, will Judgment Day have to watch their backs from now on?

Sheamus VS Rusev!

The Celtic Warrior got even with the Bulgarian Brute in their previous match-up, but then Rusev attacked Sheamus during his match with Grayson Waller to say they’re not done! It is going to be an intense tiebreaker, but will The Fella win another banger? Or will the Son of Thunder strike Sheamus down once and for all?

Raw returns as Sheamus makes his entrance, but then Rusev’s right on him the moment he’s in the ring! The bell rings, Rusev rains down fists then stomps Sheamus to a corner. Rusev fires more hands, but Sheamus turns things around to fire those back! They brawl, Rusev TACKLES Sheamus, and Rusev rains down more fists! Sheamus turns things around to return those hands! They stand, Rusev ROCKS and whips Sheamus, but Sheamus blocks hip toss to LARIAT! The fans fire up and Sheamus waits on Rusev. Rusev stands and Sheamus LARIATS him up and out of the ring! The fans cheer, Sheamus goes to the apron, and Sheamus leaps, into a KICK!

Sheamus sputters, and Rusev whips Sheamus into barriers! Rusev then puts Sheamus back in the ring, eggs the fans on, then runs corner to corner. Sheamus BOOTS Rusev away, then goes up, only for Rusev to YANK Sheamus down, for an EXPLODER! Rusev seethes, watches Sheamus writhe, and then runs up to SLIDING FOREARM Sheamus in the back! Sheamus snarls and sits up to fire body shots. Rusev BOOTS Sheamus down! Rusev soaks up the heat and brings Sheamus back up. Rusev drops elbows, CLUBS Sheamus down, then steps on Rusev’s face. The ref counts as they’re in the ropes, and Rusev steps off.

Rusev drags Sheamus up, UPPERCUTS, then follows him to a corner. Sheamus fires a forearm! Rusev fires back! The fans rally as the shots go back and forth, but then Rusev KNEES low! Rusev goes up a corner, but Sheamus rises! Sheamus BODY SHOTS and the fans fire up! Sheamus climbs up to join Rusev, and he fireman’s carries! SUPER WHITE NOISE! Both men are down and the fans fire up while Raw goes to break.

Raw returns again and Rusev aims to KICK Sheamus in the chest! Sheamus stays up so Rusev KICKS! And KICKS! Sheamus is still on his knees but he is egging Rusev on! Rusev snarls and BOOTS Sheamus! And BOOTS, and BOOTS! Sheamus eggs Rusev on more, the fans fire up, so Rusev roars! Sheamus blocks the kick! Sheamus fires body shots! And a clinch, IRISH CURSE BACKBREAKER! The fans fire up while Rusev writhes, and Sheamus grins as he rises up. Sheamus runs to CLOBBER Rusev! Rusev tumbles out of the ring but Sheamus drags him up! The fans fire up and Sheamus hooks Rusev up in the ropes! But Rusev HOTSHOTS Sheamus!

The fans boo but Rusev hurries back in. Sheamus runs up, and Rusev ducks the boot! Sheamus tumbles to the apron, he ROCKS Rusev, and he still hooks Rusev up! The fans fire up but Rusev resists! Rusev turns around to SMACK Sheamus off the post! Sheamus falls to the floor and Rusev goes out the side. Rusev snarls and runs up, but Sheamus scoops! POWERSLAM on the desk! Rusev falls in a heap and the fans fire up again! Sheamus refreshes the ring count, then he drags Rusev up again, only for Rusev to RAM Sheamus into steel steps! The steps slide while Sheamus falls in a heap! Sheamus gose to the barriers, Rusev runs up,b ut Sheamus DUMPS him over!

But wait, Rusev grabs Sheamus! BEATS OF THE BODHRAIN against the barrier! But Rusev stops at 5 just to mess with teh fans! But then Sheamus has Rusev! BEATS OF THE BODHRAIN PROPER!! And Sheamus goes to TEN! But so does the ring count!! It’s a DRAW!

Double Count-Out Draw

The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Sheamus doesn’t care! He hauls Rusev back up to drag to ringsider! But refs and producers rush out here as Rusev pulls the steel steps apart! Sheamus pushes people aside, and Rusev RAMS Sheamus down! And then he grabs Sheamus’ shillelagh from the corner! Rusev shows it off, but then Sheamus BROGUES Rusev down! The fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” and it’s a lot harder to separate these two than others anyway! The fans fire up, Rusev is fuming and Sheamus is still going! They both get loose, DOUBLE LARIATS collide! Neither falls so the hands fly!

The fans fire up, but then the two behemoths are separated again! The record now reads one win, one loss, and one draw! When and where will these two have it out to finally settle the score?

The New Day is backstage.

They’re still in mourning over the tag division, and Xavier Woods’ hat has only gotten bigger. Grayson Waller finds them and asks what was up with last week. Where were they when he was up against Sheamus? Oh, wait, he knows where they were! They were back here, watching, because he needed to learn a lesson. Waller gets that now, that’s just what veteran wrestlers do. He appreciates that. Kofi says he knows Waller is on cloud nine after dropping Theory, but they are still grieving. They make look like “the epitome of perfect chocolate decadence,” but their hearts, souls and minds are still hurting. They’re just not in the state of mind to fight anyone, and especially not Sheamus.

Waller understands. New Day says they might not be in the right state of mind until they win back their WWE World Tag Team Championships. And it is all HIS fault! That bald tyrant who refuses to give them what they deserve! Waller parts the tassels on Woods’ hat to say he’s got this. Waller goes to Pearce, and says they need to talk now! Uh, did Sheamus scramble Waller’s brain? He has to wait, Pearce is literally talking with Penta right now. Waller doesn’t care! He’s here on behalf of The New Day, the 14 time world tag team champions! Respect the grieving process and give “us” the tag title rematch! Who cares about this luchador anyway?

Pearce keeps Penta back, and tells Waller to do us a favor. Tell New Day that “baldie” will give them their match when they’ve earned it. And speaking of matches, Penta wanted one tonight. So Waller has earned it! Esta bien? Bien! Penta tells Waller to listen. CERO! MIEDO! Penta leaves, and Waller says no stress, see you then. Waller reports back to New Day that Pearce might give them something next week, hard to hear over the shine on that bald head. But will the Grayson Waller Effect have no effect on the man with zero fear?

PENTA VS Grayson Waller!

Raw returns after Waller makes his entrance. The bell rings, the two circle and the fans rally up behind Penta. Penta and Waller circle, tie up, and Waller pushes Penta away. Waller says he’s “Big G!” The two tie up, Penta waistlocks, but Waller breaks free to do drop steps just to show off. The two tie up again, Waller headlocks, but the fans rally for Penta. Penta slips out to headlock in return. Waller powers up and out, Penta jumps the dropdown, Waller hurdles, but Penta swaggers as he steps on Waller. The fans cheer, Waller runs up, but Penta dodges a lariat to RANA! Waller bails out, the fans fire up, but now The New Day makes their way out here.

Waller smiles as Kofi & Woods walk down the ramp. Waller says those are his guys! Waller wants to high-five but New Day walks past him. Waller runs in at Penta, Penta blocks a kick and spins Waller to SOBAT! Penta whips Waller to a corner, GAMANGIRI! Penta sits Waller down, Waller bails out, and Waller drags Penta out! Waller SMACKS Penta off the desk! Waller runs into the ring, slides back out, and he LARIATS! New Day likes that, and they like Waller starting a “New! Day Rocks!” chant. The fans say “New! Day Sucks!” instead, and Raw goes to break.

Raw returns again and Waller has Penta in a cravat. Waller throws knee after knee into Penta, then wrenches and whips Penta. Penta KICKS Waller! Then he mule kicks a leg out! Penta runs to SLING-DOG! Waller staggers up, Penta scoops to BACKBREAKER! The fans fire up with Penta, he runs in and GAMANGIRIS Waller! Penta sits Waller down, headstands, and DROPKICKS! Cover, TWO! The fans rally, Penta pump handles, but Waller fights free and ROCKS Penta with a right hand! Penta swings but Waller wrenches and fireman’s carries, DARKNESS FALLS! Cover, TWO! Penta survives and Waller seethes.

Woods says Maggle has a lot of opinions on how wrestlers can be successful when Maggle isn’t one. Waller goes up the corner, goes along the ropes, and grins as he BALLER ELBOW FLOPS! Penta rolls Waller up, TWO! Waller swings, Penta half nelsons then pump handles! Waller fights free again, but Penta SUPERKICKS! Waller SUPERKICKS! Penta BOOTS back! Waller JUMP KNEES! Penta and Waller DOUBLE LARIAT! The fans fire up as both men are down! Kofi applauds and Woods talks Waller up. The fans rally up while Waller goes to the apron. Penta storms up but Waller HOTSHOTS him!

Waller runs, somersaults, but into the SUPERKICK! Penta runs up, Waller pops him up, but Penta makes it a DESTROYER! Cover, Penta wins!

Winner: Penta, by pinfall

Woods says he’ll admit, that was good. But Kofi says Waller is still putting in the work and climbing the ranks, as he should be. But will it be Penta who finds himself primed for a golden opportunity instead of “Big G” and the New Day? Kofi & Woods get in Penta’s face, then help Waller up. Woods gets in Penta’s face, so Penta SHOVES Woods into Kofi! Then he DUMPS Kofi out! And he TOSSES Woods out! Penta snatches up Woods’ ridiculously big hat, and puts it on! Penta swaggers in the hat, then THROWS it like a Frisbee at Woods! Penta then FLIES and wipes out The New Day! “Grieving” or not, will New Day learn a thing about respect?

Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss are backstage.

They walk ‘n’ talk about their gear being color coordinated and whether or not that was on purpose, but then Sheamus and Rusev run on through! Sheamus sends Rusev into road cases! Rusev send Sheamus into road cases! They brawl, security and refs and producers all rush in, and the NEW WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions just shrug that off. But will Queen & Lil’ Miss Bliss get to the bottom of their not-friendship?

Charlotte & Alexa head to the ring.

The Queen gets her entrance music and tron first, followed by Lil’ Miss Bliss getting hers. They then strut to the ring together, then they grab some mics. The fans “WOO~” and cheer, and even chant, “You Deserve It!” Charlotte says that might be her first, so thank you, Brooklyn. After SummerSlam, it feels amazing to be champion again! No, really, it does. Alexa says she thinks Charlotte means they are champions again. The fans applaud, and Charlotte says yes, okay, it feels nice to do something as “we” and not just “me.” But if Alexa would stop hitting Charlotte in the head, they could be… whatever. Y’know? Like, let’s not put a label on it.

What was Charlotte gonna say, though. Fans want them to “HUG! HUG! HUG!” Alexa is sure Charlotte was gonna use “The F Word.” Well, Alexa is such a pain in the A-Word. That’s right she is! And as long as they have the titles, they’re stuck together. Charlotte says they’ll have these belts for a long time, because Charlotte is the 14-time world champion, two-time tag champion, two-time NXT Women’s Champion… And how many times has Alexa been champion? Is Charlotte serious right now? Yeah, it’s Flair Math. How many times was Alexa champ? Uh, the Raw, the SmackDown- It doesn’t matter! No one’s Charlotte.

But wait! Judgment Day storms out here! Roxie & Raquel have mics, and Raquel says c’mon! Please! Who would wanna be friends with Charlotte? Not Raquel. Not Roxie, either. And no one cares that those two wanna be friends. No one! Because all that actually matters is that all the gold comes back to Judgment Day. The fans boo that, and Raquel says she gets they’re not getting an automatic rematch. But Raquel & Roxie didn’t come out here to not get those belts back tonight. Alexa says that was quick. is Charlotte thinking what Alexa’s thinking? Yes, because if there’s one thing they can agree on, it’s that they never back down from a challenge.

That’s why the tag titles WILL be on the line tonight, and they’ll kick some A-Word! Here, now, in Brooklyn! The fans cheer, and Adam Pearce returns. He wants everyone to take a breath. The fans boo but Pearce says no, listen, he gets it. Raw After SummerSlam, Brooklyn, New York, but he said he normally likes title matches to have time for promotion. But then whatever, tonight’s not normal! That match is official, and it starts right now! Pearce tags in a ref and it is go time! Will the “not friends” hold together to stay champions? Or will Judgment Day be golden again?

Iyo Sky talks with Asuka & Kairi Sane backstage.

The Genius felt so close to winning the world title again, and so frustrated that she didn’t. The Empress says it’s okay, she and the Pirate Princess can help. Iyo thanks them for that, but no thanks. She’ll figure it out on her own. Kairi says okay, but just know that they’ve got her. Rhea Ripley then steps in and asks to talk to Iyo. Asuka & Kairi says yes, talk to “your friend.” They head out, and Iyo asks what Rhea wants. Rhea says she heard about Iyo talking to Pearce about a 1v1 title match. Iyo points out that she didn’t get pinned at SummerSlam. Rhea smirks and says she respects Iyo as a former champion.

So beat Naomi, because there’s nothing Rhea wants more than to finally beat Iyo to win back the Women’s World Champion. Rhea turns to go, but Iyo has Rhea hold on. Iyo says Rhea still won’t beat her. Rhea lets the teasing slide, but will Iyo have just the plan to dethrone Naomi? Or will even a Genius have to #ProceedWithCaution?

Bayley is backstage.

She asks if anyone has seen Lyra Valkyria, but so far nothing. Only for Lyra to find her first. Bayley wants to apologize but Lyra won’t hear it. Lyra doesn’t care what Bayley was trying to do, because now Lyra can never challenge Becky again. Bayley knows, she understands, but Lyra says no she doesn’t! Look at them! Lyra needs to get out of the “Bayley Vortex.” Neither of them is a champion. Lyra screws things up for Bayley, Bayley screws things up for her, it’s just not a good fit. They’re not friends, they’re not enemies. Lyra just wants Bayley to stay out of her life. Lyra leaves, what is Bayley to do if she can’t make this up to her?

Dominik Mysterio VS Dragon Lee!

Dirty Dom celebrated “20 years” in the WWE with a very clear tribute to both Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero when he managed to overcome AJ Styles with some trickery. But will he be able to lie, cheat and steal his way out of this one? Or will Dom already have a win over the Boy Wonder going into TripleMania 33’s AAA Mega Championship Fatal 4 Way?

Styles helps Lee stand up, but will the Phenomenal One be the one to serve justice?

Backstage interview with Sami Zayn.

Jackie Redmond is the Underdog from the Underground, and she congratulates him on the win over Karrion Kross at SummerSlam. Kross talked a lot about defeating Sami, but also exposing him. How good does it feel to prove Kross wrong? Sami says it hasn’t been about proving anyone wrong, per say, he isn’t like that. But the part of the match that keeps replaying is where he had the steel pipe in hand. Clearly, Kross & Scarlett would’ve liked if Sami had used it. There might even be fans who would’ve liked it. Sami won’t sit here and say that’s not who he is, because truthfully, he did. He did want to use it, and knows it would’ve felt really good to get Kross back.

It is hard to explain. But it isn’t about who Sami is, but about who he wants to be. And he wants to be world champion. And he will be a world champion! But he wants to do it the right way. Kross is in the rearview, all eyes on the prize, and- SHEAMUS AND RUSEV RUN INTO SAMI! The brawl is still going!?! Refs, security, producers, they all try, but then Sami gets in there! Rusev DECKS Sami!! Sami is furious, but off go Rusev and Sheamus! Is Sami going to let that go and focus on his goals? Will Sheamus and Rusev not stop brawling until the show is over?

Becky Lynch is here!

The Man has a new theme but she is still WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion after Bayley accidentally cost Lyra in the No Holds Barred match. The fans are torn, but Becky grabs a mic to say, “Ding dong, Lyra is gone! She will no longer be getting any opportunities at the opportunity title so long as I am the gatekeeper of opportunities, which is for as along as I am the champion, which will be for a very, very, very long time! Now… Now, it is time to open the floor to new competitors. Competitors who understand what it is to step in the ring with me. Who understand that they are stepping in the ring with the greatest female wrestler of all time.

“And it’s not just me saying it, it’s other people saying it, Sports Illustrated says it. But that will not be tonight. We will not be opening the floor tonight. Physically, I’m fine. I’m fine. But-” Nikki Bella is here?! The fans cheer on #FearlessNikki as she goes right to the ring! Nikki has a mic to say, “What up, Brooklyn? Oh, hey, Becky. I was just listening to you back there, and I have to say, everything you had to say, you are so right. Becky Lynch really is one of the greatest of all time.” Becky says no, THE greatest. Nikki says she is so proud of Becky. She remembers when they first met, and Becky had such great potential.

It was superstars like Becky that showed Nikki it was okay to step away because the Women’s Division was in such great hands. Becky thanks Nikki for that, that means so much, Becky has always respected Nikki. Nikki thanks Becky, but then she says… Becky turned out to be a disappointment. Yeah, the same hands Nikki left the division in are the same hands that have stabbed so many people in the back! Becky is supposed to be raising a generation, but she is literally handcuffing them. Nikki came back to test herself, because this is the best Women’s Wrestling has ever been. But what she’s trying to figure out is…

Why did Becky come back? Becky could’ve stayed away. Was she really that jealous watching women like Lyra kill it? Or was Hollywood not what Becky hoped? Becky says do not talk to her about Hollywood! She is a featured player in the hottest movie of the summer, Happy Gilmore 2, available now on Netflix! And wait, wait, Becky remembers seeing Nikki on set there, too. Wasn’t she supposed to be in it? Oh, wait, Nikki’s role got cut. Why is that? Because Becky’s reach is far beyond the ropes! Becky takes credit for getting Nikki’s part cut! There is only room for ONE star, and that’s not Nikki! Nikki says she is so sick of this! She isn’t buying it!

Nikki is only hearing blah blah blah. Becky is a liar, just like her husband! The fans fire up there! Nikki says there’s a difference here, though. We all bought Seth’s lies. No one buys Becky’s BS. Because Nikki sees right through Becky. She is still the same insecure, scared little girl that came into the WWE. Oh, okay. Do not talk about her and her hot husband like that. Becky and her hot husband are the greatest wrestling couple of all time. The fans cheer that, oddly. Becky then asks wasn’t that once Nikki and… Oh, wait, Nikki can’t see him anymore! The fans go nuts for that one! Nikki smiles and nods, even she has to admit that was good.

Becky brings up that also, remember this: When Becky came up, she came up to combat Nikki’s era! So don’t talk about how Becky handles hers. Well, it isn’t Becky’s era! And in Nikki’s era, Becky was too scared to face Nikki 1v1. So how about this? In THIS era, that isn’t Becky’s, put that Intercontinental Championship on the line against Nikki! The fans cheer that, too! Becky is a bit flustered, but she tells Nikki that the reason they never went 1v1 was because BOP, sucker punch! The fans boo but Becky gets outta there! That was a big time cheap shot, but will The Man find a way to hold the diva down?

Backstage interview with Naomi.

Byron Saxton is with the WWE Women’s World Champion, and says credit where credit is due. Naomi called her shot, said she’d beat two of the biggest names in Rhea and Iyo, and just last night, she pulled it off. How does she feel about that win? Naomi feels great! Not sure about everyone else, but she warned them. She warned them not to be shocked when she walks out as champion. And now everyone looks stupid, and that ain’t Naomi’s fault. Now to clear out some rumors and confirm some things swirling around. Next week on Raw, Naomi will defend her championship against Iyo Sky. And if she wants to get dragged again-

But in steps Stephanie Vaquer, and La Primera tells Naomi to callete. Whether it is Naomi or Iyo Sky, Vaquer has the shot at Clash in Paris. Then the Women’s World Championship will belong to her. Naomi says it most definitely will be Naomi. And at Clash, Naomi will take Vaquer’s horns and shove them so far up her behind, Vaquer will be leaving Paris with a limp. Naomi then takes off on her scooter, laughing like a villain. Will no one be able to stop Naomi now that she’s on top?

WWE has a medical update on Gunther.

Der Ring General wasn’t just bloodied on SummerSlam Saturday. He suffered a septal hematoma and orbital blowout fracture. Gunther will be out of action until further notice. When and where will WWE see Gunther again?

Becky returns backstage.

But Natalya, Maxxine Dupri & Akira Tozawa confront her. The BOAT asks what the heck that was! Natty knows both her and Becky were friends, but what Becky just did to Nikki was wrong. Wrong? Sorry, but they’re the ones coming at her 3v1, four if you count Nikki, and it’s rather cowardly. Becky did nothing wrong. Then how about a match next week? Becky says yeah, challenge accepted. Then see you next week. No, Natty, not you. Becky’s facing Maxxine! W-What? Yeah, see you next week, sweet cheeks! Becky blows a kiss and leaves, but isn’t choosing the rookie over the legend the cowardly move?

WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Seth Rollins w/ Paul Heyman VS LA Knight!

Saturday Night’s Main Event was the beginning of “Plan B,” aka the Ruse of the Century, but in a twist no one really saw coming, handing The Mega Star that win gave him the lineal right to challenge for the championship! Will this be the night LA Knight has been dreaming of? Or will the Visionary, the Revolutionary, Seth FREAKIN’ Rollins have a contingency even for this?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who makes an escape from New York as champion!

The bell rings and the fans rally up already. Knight and Rollins talk a little smack, then Knight DECKS Rollins! Knight fires hands in the corner, “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” The ref counts, then he backs Knight off. Knight brings Rollins up but now Rollins fires hands! Rollins kicks low, stomps away at the ropes, but the ref counts again. Rollins stops at 4, huffs ‘n’ puffs while the fans are torn, and he whips. Knight reverses to LARIAT! Knight snap suplexes, then covers, ONE! Rollins is tougher than that but Knight is right on him. Knight drags Rollins up to ROCK him, then scoop and- NO, Rollins slips free to wiastlock.

Knight bucks the O’Conner, and he runs up to NECKBREAKER! Cover, ONE! Knight stomps Rollins, bumps him off buckles, then whips corner to corner. Knight runs in and LARIATS! Knight then whips Rollins, but Rollins KICKS him away! The fans sing for “L A, L A KNIGHT~! L A, L A KNIGHT~!” Rollins runs up on Knight but Knight TOSSES him up and out! Knight goes out after Rollins, chases him, and Rollins uses the ref as a shield! Heyman pleads with Knight, Knight shoves him aside, and he blocks the sucker punch! Knight then uses the corner as a shortcut to get after Rollins! Knight SMACKS Rollins off the desk!

The fans rally up, Knight grins, but Rollins RAMS Knight into the apron! And then THROWS him into barriers! Rollins hoists Knight up to hang him out to dry on barriers! The fans rally as Rollins climbs up, GUILLOTINE DOUBLE STOMPS! Knight flops to the floor, Rollins snarls, and the fans lose their minds while Raw goes to break.

Raw returns and Rollins has Knight in the ring. The fans cheer for “C M PUNK!” but Rollins mocks the night-night pose. Rollins CHOPS, but Knight CHOPS back! And CHOPS, and CHOPS, and CHOPS again! Knight then fires haymakers, “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Rollins kicks low, underhooks the arms, but Knight BACKDROPS free! The fans fire up while Rollins staggers to a corner. Knight runs up, but into a BUCKLE SHOT! Rollins climbs a corner, but Knight is right up after him! The fans fire up for the SUPER DUPER PLEX! Even Heyman feels that one! Knight crawls to a cover, TWO! Rollins survives and Heyman can breathe easy again.

Knight crawls to the ropes, drags himself up, but so does Rollins. Rollins aims and CHOPS! Knight CHOPS back! Rollins ROCKS Knight with a haymaker, so Knight ROCKS Rollins! Rollins JABS, Knight JABS, then they throw haymakers! They go back and forth, “BOO! YEAH! BOO! YEAH!” Then Knight has the edge, “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” DISCUS LARIAT! And a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Knight whips Rollins hard into the corner, then JUMPING NECKBREAKERS! Cover, TWO! Rollins is still in this and Heyman is again relieved. Knight goes to Rollins, drags him up, and the fans rally up again.

Rollins JAWBREAKERS! Knight staggers, Rollins runs up, but Knight scoops to POWERSLAM! ELBOW DROP onto knees! Rollins gets Knight up, and BUCKLE BOMBS! Knight staggers, Rollins runs up, but Knight dodges! Knight torture racks for a BURNING HAMMER! Cover, TWO!! The fans fire up while both men are down! “This is Awesome!” as Knight rises. Knight looks around, thinks on what he must do, and he points to the title. Knight then waits on Rollins to rise up. Rollins rises up, the fans rally again, and Knight spins Rollins! B F- NO, Rollins rolls Knight! TWO, but Knight avoids the stomp!

Knight storms up, but Rollins kicks low! Rollins underhooks, but Knight wrenches out! Kick and DDT! Knight kips up and the fans fire up! Knight goes up a corner, spells it out, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!” BOX JUMP ELBOW DROP! Rollins staggers to his feet, but he again avoids a BFT! The fans boo as Rollins bails out, and Knight runs up! Knight WRECKS Rollins with a dropkick, and Rollins goes over the desk! Maggle and Corey have to get outta the way! Knight storms over, drags Rollins up, and SMACKS him off the desk! And again, and again, and again! “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight finishes dribbling, then he TOSSES Rollins over the desk!

The fans fire up, Knight refreshes the count, and Knight drags Rollins up again. But Rollins lifts his head to “inadvertently” low blow! Rollins grins but the fans duel, “Let’s Go, Rollins!” “Rollins Sucks!” But Rollins drags Knight up to POST him! Rollins rains down fists, the ref tells them to get in the ring, and the count climbs. Rollins lets off of Knight to rolls into the ring. Rollins rolls back out so the count is refreshed. Rollins thinks on what he can do, and he starts pulling up the padding! Rollins has exposed bare concrete! Rollins POSTS Knight, then reels him in! Rollins says if Knight wants to hurt him, he’ll get hurt so that Knight will never walk again!

Rollins lines up a shot, waits for Knight to rise, but C M PUNK LEAPS IN!! Punk attacks, that’s a disqualification!

Winner: Seth Rollins, by disqualification (still WWE World Heavyweight Champion)

Punk fires off on Rollins, knocks him into the Hydration Station and the title pedestal! Everything is a mess but Punk keeps throwing down hands on Rollins! Rollins gets free, rolls into the ring, but Punk pursues! The fans fire up as Punk smothers Rollins! Knight YANKS Punk away from Rollins, and Knight argues with Punk! Punk pushes past Knight to go after Rollins, but Bron SPEARS him down!! Knight fires off on Bron now, but Bronson CLOBBERS Knight! Bron TACKLES Knight, Bronson rains down fists, and Bron goes after Punk again! Auszilla puts Knight in the ring to drop an ELBOW! Bron puts Punk in the ring, too!

The fans boo but Bron has Bronson set Knight up. Bron builds speed, and Bron SPEARS Knight! The fans bark for Bron, and now Rollins wants his! Bronson sets Knight up, Rollins runs in, CURB STOMP!! Now they go after Punk! They drag Punk into position, and Rollins gives him a CURB STOMP!! The fans boo but Rollins holds up the World Heavyweight Championship! Will nothing stop WWE from looking more and more like The Vision? But wait! ROMAN REIGNS is here?!? Rollins wants Bron & Bronson to stand in the way as The OTC heads down the ramp! SUPERMAN PUNCH for Bronson! And haymakers for Bron!

The fans fire up as Roman DECKS Bron, then THROWS him into steel steps! The fans fire up as OTC eyes Visionary, and Roman steps up to the apron. Rollins eggs Roman on, but then he runs away! The fans boo as Rollins backs down from Roman, but Bron is up! Roman TACKLES Bron first! Roman rains down fists, but Bronson is in! But Roman TACKLES him, too! Roman rains fists on Bronson, but the CURB STOMP takes Roman out!! Rollins uses his behemoths as decoys again, and they all get to beat up on Roman now! Rollins helps Bron to his feet, fires him up, and sets Roman up! Bron huffs ‘n’ puffs and roars!

Bron builds speed to SPEAR Roman down!! Then Bronson goes right up top! Roman is in the drop zone, TSUNAMI!! And he goes up top again! TSUNAMI!! And then he goes up a third time! Refs and producers rush out here, but Bronson just hits a third TSUNAMI!! Pearce is raging but there’s nothing he can do about what just happened! Rollins says HE has the power now! And Bronson steals Roman’s shoes again! Will The Vision have everything they want in the WWE and then some?

My Thoughts:

A great Raw to follow up the great SummerSlam weekend. Great stuff with Sheamus VS Rusev, taking the disappointing double count-out and turning it into a brawl that just would not stop. Bumping into Sami during his promo is an interesting detail, too. Sami wants the world title, but is he about to get sidetracked by this? And we still don’t have confirmation on Kross’ future in the WWE, and I personally hope he stays. There is potential for him, HHH just needs to see it (though he apparently didn’t wanna hear it during the post-show stuff). As for Sheamus and Rusev themselves, I said last time that they should go No Disqualifications with this one, maybe an Ol’ Fashioned Donnybrook at that.

Good Judgment Day stuff, though the group promo was rather quick. Roxie & Raquel of course went right after Charlotte & Alexa, and I was surprised they had the title match already. Great win for Charlotte & Alexa, I was a little worried they were gonna hot potato things. But now, Charlotte & Alexa have their first defense in the books, anything can happen now. Then Dom had a good promo with Dragon Lee to set up their match tonight. Great stuff from them, and I did not think THREE El Grande Americanos would get involved. I’m thinking Gable has returned as El Grande Americano Tres, but it’d be wild if that was Tyler Bate so that he AND Dunne can be involved in this weirdness together.

Styles of course went after Dom again, surely we’ll get a rematch of them down the line. Dom, Dragon Lee, Kaiser Grande and Vikingo are going to have a great AAA Mega Championship Fatal 4 Way, and then no matter what, Styles gets Dom for like Clash in Paris. Speaking of Clash, very good promos to hype up the Women’s World Championship story for that. Naomi VS Iyo next week will be awesome stuff, but I feel like Naomi retains. Then Rhea and Iyo can settle their score while Naomi focuses on Vaquer. Rhea will surely get her first win against Iyo, setting her up to face the Women’s World Champion for Crown Jewel Perth so that Rhea can win the title in front of her family and friends.

Great promo from New Day and Grayson Waller, and I really appreciate Woods’ hat was so comically oversized. Very good bit with Pearce and Penta there, too. Very good match from Penta VS Waller but of course Penta won. Penta having the interaction with New Day and coming out on top, I wonder if somehow, they get Fenix and Penta together as the Lucha Brothers so we can get New Day VS Lucha Brothers. Not only is that a dream match there, it can lead to Lucha Brothers VS Finn & JD for the world tag titles. And it’s not like Penta and Fenix can’t be singles champions on their own, but maybe we can get a Two Brothers Power Trip.

Good promo from Lyra and Bayley, but it seems like they’re going the other direction. Bayley didn’t confront Becky, so it sounds like Bayley defaults to feuding with Lyra in order to get a chance at any other title. Great promo from Becky with Nikki to clearly set things up for Clash in Paris. While taking shots at someone’s love life is a bit cliche, Becky really got Nikki with that line about Cena. Nikki’s also a special case because she and Cena were so public with the relationship, from WWE TV to Total Divas. Becky getting that and the sucker punch on Nikki was good, as was Alpha Academy confronting Becky. Poor Maxxine is gonna be fodder for Becky, but I bet Nikki comes back for revenge after the match.

And of course, great stuff with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship story. Great opening promo from Heyman, Rollins and LA Knight. Pearce really got energized from this moment, cuz he not only gave us the world title match but he gave us that women’s tag title match and all that. Rollins VS Knight was great, but I figured CM Punk would show up to go after Rollins. It may have cost Knight the title but it saved him from that concrete curb stomp. Great brawl, though, and I’m a little surprised Roman waited until the credits played to show up. Bigger surprise was Roman getting beat down so bad, but word has it he’s off to film Street Fighter’s new live action movie. That would on some level explain Jey’s absence, Jey would’ve turned the tide.

But Jey or no Jey, Rollins’ group, which might finally be named “The Vision,” has to stand tall or else they aren’t a serious threat. And if Roman is out, Knight can stand in, and then it is Knight, Punk and Jey who have to put differences aside to stand against The Vision in a Six Man Tag. Then someone, likely Punk, will come out as Rollins’ next challenger to have a match at Clash in Paris and even Crown Jewel Perth.

My Score: 8.9/10
