Brock Lesnar is here!
And much to Michael Cole’s surprise, that means The Beast wants his special interview NOW! Cole says they can do this backstage, but Lesnar picks him up and carries him into the ring! Toledo, Ohio cheers as Maggle looks like a sack of potatoes! And Lesnar treats him about as nicely! The fans boo as Lesnar dumps Cole into the ring, stands over him, and then stands him up. But then Corey Graves gets in the ring and reasons with Lesnar to show Cole some mercy. But LESNAR JUST PICKS COREY UP! F5!! The fans go nuts as Lesnar has just turned this interview into an assault! “JOHN! I’M COMING FOR YOU! It’s D-Day tomorrow, John, and I’m coming for blood!”
Lesnar storms out of the ring, paces around a bit, then he CHUCKS the Prime Hydration Station! Then he pulls the steel steps apart! The refs and producers try to stop Lesnar, but he picks Corey up to F5 HIM AGAIN!! Lesnar dares someone else to bring the fight, and the more vicious fans in Toledo want that “One More Time!” But Lesnar doesn’t do what fans what, he does what he wants, so he just leaves Corey be. Will things be far worse for John Cena tomorrow at his first, and last, WrestlePalooza?
SmackDown returns and…
Corey Graves is still down. Refs and producers help him out of the ring, and Michael Cole is very concerned for his broadcast partner and friend. As for Lesnar, he crosses paths with Paul Heyman! The Oracle is back, flanked by Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed. Lesnar tells Heyman, “We should talk.” Lesnar then takes his leave peacefully, right before Nick Aldis arrives. Aldis tells Heyman he’ll just say it: Tonight is not the night. There is a contract signing for the WrestlePalooza main event, THE Undisputed WWE Championship, and Aldis needs two signatures on that contract. What he doesn’t need are any more problems.
Heyman says Aldis misread their intentions. They are here to broker peace between Mr. Breakker, Mr. Reed and The Usos. Where would they be? The Usos are not here, they’re already in Indianapolis. But something tells Aldis that Heyman already knew that. What? Heyman? How would he know such things? To be honest, Aldis is one of the best General Managers Heyman has ever seen. But since they are here, they will simply enjoy the show. Nice suit, by the way. Heyman leads the behemoths away, will things be comparatively calm the rest of the night?
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships: Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss VS Chelsea Green & Alba Fyre!
The Queen & Lil’ Miss Bliss made it through their NXT Homecoming last Tuesday night, proving that the Women’s Division is the backbone of not just NXT but of all the WWE! However, will #Charlexa make The Hot Mess and “Secret Slaygent A” bow down? Or will we all have to pledge allegiance to the Green Administration?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see whose teamwork will make the dream work!
The teams sort out and Charlotte starts against Chelsea. The fans “WOO~” as the two circle, and then they tie up. They go around, Charlotte arm-drags Chelsea, then dodges her. But Chelsea just sucker punches Alexa! The fans are torn, but Charlotte BOOTS Chelsea! Charlotte tags Alexa, and Toledo cheers for Ohio’s own as she SENTONS! Then Alba runs in, only for Charlotte to RUN her over! Alexa SENTONS again and the fans fire up! Alexa brings Chelsea up, but Chelsea RAMS her into the corner! Tag to Alba, but Alexa fights them off! Alba trips Alexa, Chelsea DROPKICKS! Then Alba spins Alexa to SMACK her off the POST!
The fans boo, the ref reprimands but Chelsea & Alba salute while SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Alba has the ref keep Charlotte back before she SMACKS Alexa off the apron. Alba then drags Alexa up to CLUB her down. Alba puts Alexa on the ropes, CHOKES her, then lets off as the ref counts. They argue, but that lets Chelsea CHOKE Alexa! Alba drags Alexa from the ropes to stand on her hair and pull the arms! The ref reprimands, Alba stops, and she drags Alexa over. Tag to Chelsea, they whip Alexa to KNEE, SUPERKICK, and SUPERKICK! Cover, TWO! Alexa survives but Chelsea taunts Charlotte. Chelsea then drags Alexa up, bumps her off buckles, and then bumps her off more buckles. Then motorcycle CURB STOMP!
Alexa sputters against buckles but Chelsea taunts Charlotte. Oh hey, The Miz joins commentary! Alexa rolls Chelsea up! TWO, and Chelsea CLOBBERS Alexa! Chelsea enjoys the cheers and jeers from Toledo before she tags in Alba. They double suplex Alexa, to DOUBLE GOURDBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Alba tells the ref to watch Charlotte, then she drags Alexa away. But Alexa fires body shots! Alba snapmares and KNEES Alexa for it! Alba clamps on a chinlock, KNEES Alexa again, then brings her up. Alba CHOPS Alexa, argues with the ref, then CHOPS again. Tag to Chelsea, and Chelsea sends Alba in, only for Alexa to BOOT her!
Chelsea runs up, but Alexa ROCKS her! SmackDown returns to single picture as Alexa fires mores shots, then KNEES Chelsea down!

And the besties best the Green Administration! Will this combination continue to be a winning one all the way through the Fall?
B-Fab talks with The Street Profits backstage.
She knows Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins are upset, but they’ve been together for a long time. They’re like brothers! And just like brothers, there’ll be moments where they don’t see eye to eye, and that’s normal. But if tag team gold is still what they want, they gotta get past whatever this is and get back to what’s best for them. They all know that it’s only a matter of time before- Mia Yim apologizes as she interrupts, she needs to talk with B-Fab about next week’s tag match with Giulia & Kiana James. Sorry, can’t miss out on talking with Aldis. B-Fab says okay. She tells the Profits to just talk this out, then she heads out with Michin.
Dawkins and Ford look at each other, and they both want to talk. Ford says it’s okay, they both know they’ll always be good. And they can talk to Aldis next about how to get back to their tag team championships. They secret handshake, and Ford heads out. But then Bo Dallas creeps in. Bo wants Dawkins to understand, “Your brother doesn’t wanna hear what you have to say. But I will listen.” Ford storms back in and gets right in Bo’s face! Why does Bo keep running his mouth?! What is he trying to prove!? HUH!? Bo says he is just here to guide lost souls on a quest to find the right path. Bo laughs, but then Erick Rowan attacks the Profits!
Bo says, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.” He and Rowan leave the Profits down and out, but can the Profits get back up? Or will they no longer want the smoke?
R-Truth is running an ESPN stand…?
He claims he’s gonna help everyone understand how get WrestlePalooza tomorrow. But then Los Garza walk in, and he says amigos, por favor, habla Ingles. Oh, sorry. But they just wanted to know what exactly he’s selling here. Merch? Photos? What? No, this is the Genius Bar, he’s a tech guy! An Appologist! He’s showing gals and guys how to use ESPN Unlimited to watch WrestlePalooza. Muy bien! Where can they get it? The app store, Google Play, your smart TV. Just type in ESPN and download. Or even scan this QR Code! Oh, but what if they already have ESPN on their cable? If they’ve already got ESPN on cable, just use your cable log-in and it’s in the app.
Now, most big providers already got this taken care of. You just go in and watch. Scan away. But what if they don’t have cable? Touché! But HAH, you can just go to stream.ESPN.com and sign up for ESPN Unlimited. Ooh~! Now, amigos, let’s run along while Truth teaches a Zoom class how a microwave can be a Wi-Fi hotspot! Gracias.
Fraxiom VS ???
The Undeniable Truth and Jersey Island Rocket- GET ATTACKED BY BRON & BRONSON! The fans boo but so much for Heyman claiming they’re just here as fans! Heyman storms his way out here, mic in hand, and he says, “Ladies and gentlemen… My name is Paul Heyman. You know who they (Fraxiom) remind me of? The Usos. Down, out, victimized, and flat on their backs. Hey, Jimmy & Jey.” Heyman tells them in Samoan and then translates that it will be a WrestlePalooza spoiler! Tomorrow night, the Usos will hear- FRAXIOM DOUBLE MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up as the tables have turned!
Axiom DIVES to take out Bron! Frazer DIVES to take out Bronson! They keep going, Axiom DIVES onto Bronson and Frazer DIVES onto Bron! The fans fire up with Fraxiom, and Aldis walks out to say, “So much for just being here to enjoy the show. More of that trademark Paul Heyman honesty, I see. But it looks like you’ve got your hands full. And if you come to my show and you start a fight, you better finish it. So it’s gonna be The Vision VS Fraxiom, and it’s gonna be right now!” The fans cheer that! But will Frazer & Axiom be able to blast past the big bad Bron-Brons? Or will they be examples to the Usos, just as Heyman promised?
Fraxiom VS Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed w/ Paul Heyman!
SmackDown returns as the match is already going, and Bron clinches with Axiom. Axiom fires body shots, but Bron KNEES low. Bron puts Axiom up top, throws hands, then climbs up. Bron says Axiom’s down for, but Axiom fights Bron off! Bron comes back to ROCK Axiom, then he fireman’s carries. But Axiom slips free and reaches for Frazer! Bron keeps him away, lifts Axiom up, and THROWS him1 the fans bark it up, and Heyman is on the phone all excited. Bron headlocks, Axiom powers up and out, but Bron builds speed to CLOBBER Axiom! The fans either boo or bark but Bron drags Axiom up.
Bron puts Axiom in the corner, tags Bronson, and they mug Axiom. Bronson HEADBUTTS Axiom, brings him up to scoop and SLAM! Then SENTON! Axiom sputters but Bronson talks trash. Bronson drags Axiom up, tags Bron back in, and the mugging continues. Bron brings Axiom around, suplexes hard, then he sucker punches Frazer! The fans boo but Bron brings down the straps. Bron barks, builds speed again, but the DROPKICK hits first! The fans fire up while both men are down! Bron and Axiom crawl, but Bron drags Axiom away. Axiom BOOTS free, hot tags to Bronson and Frazer! Frazer ROCKS Bronson with forearm after forearm, but runs into a firema’ns carry!
Frazer slips fere, dodges Bronson, and goes to the apron to HOTSHOT! then springboard and MISSILE DROPKICK! SUPERKICK! Bronson is down, Frazer is up, FROG SPLASH! Cover, TWO! And with some serious power! But Frazer goes up again, PHOENIX- NO, Bronson dodges, pop-up, JAGGED EDGE!! Bronson isn’t done, he puts Frazer in position! But Axiom GAMANGIRIS Bronson up top! The fans fire up as Axiom goes up! But Bronson SHOVES Axiom into a SPEAR from Bron!! Then TSUNAMI on Frazer!! Cover, The Vision wins!
Winners: Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed, by pinfall
Heyman grabs the mic to stop “John Cena’s b*tch,” Mike Nash from announcing the winners. Because as he was saying before he was so rudely interrupted, “Ladies and gentlemen, your winners…!” But then The Usos interrupt on the tron! Jey says, “There they go, lookin’ dumb!” Jimmy says, “I see ’em. The Usos are not on SmackDown. Cuz right now, The Usos are in Indaay~!” Jey says that’s right! They all over Sportscenter! All over ESPN! Tomorrow night is The Usos VS The Bronnies! It’s fourth quarter, The Bronnies down by two, and like their man Haliburton said, cough cough, they gonna choke!
Tomorrow night, you against the Day Ones! The best damn tag team ever! They lock it down like the 49ers defense! Welcome back to the Uso Penitentiary! The fans cheer that! Will Jimmy & Jey make sure they YEET Bron & Bronson right outta Indiana?
Nia Jax is here!
Toledo is a bit torn seeing the Irresistible Force as she struts to the ring. Nia just smiles as she grabs a mic, and says, “You knwo what I’m sick of? Well, I mean, yeah, I’m sick of being in this disgusting town, Toledo, Ohio, you’re right. Aw, did I hurt your feelings? Y’know what I’m sick of? It’s this Women’s Division. It is embarrassing that these women continue to call themselves the alpha females. Let’s get one thing clear: I am THE Alpha Female of this Women’s Division! And it’s definitely not Tiffy~! It’s Tiffy Time! It’s Tiffy Time! It’s Tiffy Time~!” Nia mocks the catchphrase and says Tiff is so annoying.
That’s why Nia put her in a Tiffy Timeout! That’s why she couldn’t make it to NXT Homecoming. But y’know what? Jade Cargill… If Nia could trade appearances with anyone in this divisoin, it’d be Jade. Jade looks incredible! But if she could trade in-ring ability with anybody, ti’d be Nia, cuz let’s face it, Jade could use it. Aw c’mon, guys! Jade is great. She looks fantastic! Until she gets in the ring. Then she gest A-Nia-Lated! Nia is dominant, Nia is the alpha, and she’ll crush any storm, any Tiffy Time, any damn time! But wait, Tiffany is here! The fans cheer and Tiff says, “You wanna know what everyone is actually sick of? You running your mouth about me!”
Tiff says Nia needs to quit obsessing over her and acting like she’s in charge. No one wants Nia near this title! And as for Jade, she can take the cape off, she’s not a superhero and she’s not gonna save anything. But since they’re both so committed to acting delusional, Tiff will show them why she’s the one and only WWE Women’s Champion! And there is nothing they can do or say about it! Mic drop from Tiff, but refs rush out to stop this from turning into another brawl! But then here comes Jade! The Storm is in Toledo, and she storms her way up, to DECK and BOOT security! She pushes past Tiff to get at Nia!
The fans fire up, but more security rushes out here! Aldis says everyone needs to stop! Another step, another punch, and there will be severe consequences! He knows they all wanna tear each other apart, so he’ll give them the chance to do that! Next week, Friday Night SmackDown, the title is on the line in a Triple Threat! Tiff, Nia and Jade can all agree to that! But will Orlando be left standing after these forces of nature collide?
Truth continues to teach people how to use ESPN Unlimited.
He’s even helping Rey Fenix and Motor City Machine Guns now. His neck might be busted, but his phone ain’t. He goes through the instructions again, such as the places to download it from, the places to log in, and how to even use stream.ESPN.com and get the Unlimited Plan. Now, WrestlePalooza is coming! Now time to download A Discovery of Witches off his toaster! Sabin is partial to The Great British Baking Show himself. Chef’s kiss! Run along, y’all! And then he puts the phone in his toaster!
WWE United States Championship: Sami Zayn VS Carmelo Hayes!
He’s no longer the Underdog from the Underground, he’s #BigMatchSami! And as such, he keeps the tradition of giving golden opportunities to young stars going! But will Sami keep things going for his second full defense? Or will he lose this title to H1M?
SmackDown returns and Miz is pumped for Melo while Sami makes his entrance. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who makes their shot count!
The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, Sami wrenches to wristlock. Melo rolls, wrenches, wristlocks back, but Sami spins through. Sami wrenches and WRINGS Melo, and the fans cheer. Melo fights up, Sami headlocks, but Melo powers up and out. Things speed up as Melo hurdles, but then Sami comes back. Melo ducks and DROPKICKS! The fans cheer and Melo waits on Sami. Sami rises up, storms up, and they tie up. Melo puts Sami on the ropes, lets off slowly, then ROCKS Sami with a right! Melo windmills as he CLUBS away on Sami, then headlocks. Sami powers up and out, drops down, then hurdles to then DECK Melo!
Sami brings Melo up to bump Melo off buckles, then he climbs up. Sami rains down fists, but Melo slips out at five to trip Sami up! Sami falls to the apron, but he HOTSHOTS Melo back! Sami slingshots but into a KICK! Melo then hits a FADE AWAY GUILLOTINE LEG DROP! The fans fire up and Melo flexes, and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and Melo rains down fists! Miz cheers Melo on but the fans rally for Sami. Melo stands Sami up, whips him to ropes, then ELBOWS him down! Melo runs to drop the leg, brother! Cover, TWO! Miz is frustrated for Melo but Melo says he’s got this. Melo waits on Sami, then throws forearms at the ropes. Then he CHOPS, CHOPS, and ROCKS again! Melo fires off more shots, then he whips Sami. Sami goes up and over, then comes back to LARIAT! The fans fire up for Sami while he goes to the corner. Sami ELBOWS Melo, goes up, and AX HANDLES! The fans rally up and Sami storms back over.
Sami CHOPS Melo in the corner, climbs up, and he rains down fists! Fans count along and Sami goes PAST TEN, to maybe about TWENTY! Sami then shakes the ropes and the fans fire up! Sami goes up again, brings Melo in, TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO! Melo survives but is dazed, and Miz can breathe again. Sami hurries up a corner and the fans cheer again. But Melo runs in! Sami leaps over, then scoops, MICHINOKU DRIVER! Cover, TWO!! Melo survives and the fans are dueling! Sami stalks Melo, brings him up, and suplexes, only for Melo to slip free. Melo waistlocks, Sami switches, but Melo switches back.
The switches continue, Sami goes to ropes, but Melo bucks the O’Conner to KNEE Sami down! Melo then hurries to the corner! Melo climbs lines up his shot, FROG SPLASH but onto knees! Melo stumbles to a corner, and Sami aims! HELLUVA- SUPERKICK from Melo!! Both men are down, Miz rallies for Melo, and SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Melo reaches out, he and Sami stir, and they go to opposite ends. Sami drags himself up, Melo storms over, and Melo SLAPS! And SMACKS! And then he whips Sami, but Sami reverses. Melo ducks ‘n’ dodges, then tilt-o-whirls, LA MYSTICA! Cover, TWO!! Sami survives and Melo is seething! Melo argues with the ref, but it was still NOT three. Melo stands Sami up, ROCKS him with a right, but Sami fires back! They go back and forth, and Sami CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Sami whips, Melo reverses, but Sami turns the First 48 into a POWERBOMB! Cover, TWO!! Melo survives and Sami is stunned!
Sami rises while Melo writhes, and Sami stalks Melo to the ropes. Sami and Melo trade forearms again and again, then Sami gets the edge. Sami whips, Melo ducks ‘n’ dodges, but then so does Sami! DOUBLE LARIATS wipe both men out! SmackDown returns to single picture as Sami rises first, and “This is Awesome!” Melo breaks free to SUPERKICK! Sami staggers away to a corner while Melo leans on the ropes. Melo runs up, but Sami clinches! But Melo fights the lift! Melo fires elbows, then goes to the corner. Sami runs up, Melo puts him on the apron, and then SLINGSHOT APRON DDT!! Sami writhes, clutches his wrist, and Melo goes up!

Melo springboards, FADE AWAY DDT!! And then Melo aims from the top rope! NOTHING BUT- NO, Sami dodges!
Sami BOOTS Melo, then BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! Cover, SAMI WINS!!
Winner: Sami Zayn, by pinfall (still WWE United States Champion)
It was certainly Sami’s toughest test yet, but he still found a way to win! Miz is not satisfied with the “moral victory” of pushing Sami this far, will Melo just have to work that much harder to get a title?
Kit Wilson talks with Nick Aldis.
One half of Pretty Deadly claims that toxic masculinity is a disease! But then in steps Damian Priest. The Archer of Infamy demands to know where Aleister Black is. Aldis knows he’s upset from losing last week- Priest says to hell with losing! Everyone around here wins and loses! Priest’s problem is Aleister attacked during the entrance! That he used one of the refs as a shield, like a coward! If Aleister wants the REAL Priest, then fine! He’s got him! No more good guy, no more bad guy. If Aldis doesn’t give Priest another fight with Aleister, then he and everyone else is gonna be dealing with the Punisher!
Kit says this is what he’s talking about! A man with a fragile ego that can’t handle the cards he has been dealt! So what does he do? He lashes out in hyper-masculine, overtly aggressive ways. Maybe it is time Priest looks in the mirror, because he is TOXIC! Priest grabs Kit and THROWS him through a wall! Give him Aleister!! Priest storms off, Aldis makes a call. He needs medical… But will the Archer of Infamy have his target? Or will he simply #FadeToBlack?
Solo Sikoa speaks.
“You’re the only loyal soldier that I have left. You’ve been with me from the start of The Bloodline, and you’ve never betrayed me. Tonga Loa. You’ve shown me love, and you’ve sacrificed your body for it. You’re the son of Haku, the most dangerous man on the planet. So that makes you dangerous. You brought gold to this family. And I love you for that. I owe it to you to make you a champion. I let you down. But if you trust me, and as long as you’re part of My Family Tree, your loyalty will be rewarded.” Loa puts his hand on Solo’s shoulder and says, “I love you, Solo.” Solo nods, but is that true? What happened to Talla Tonga and JC Mateo?
Nick Aldis is in the ring.
The SmackDown GM has the mic to say, “Ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow night, we present to you WrestlePalooza, a landmark night in the history of the company and this industry. And the main event of WrestlePalooza will be the match for the Undisputed WWE Championship. At this time, allow me to introduce to you the challenger, Drew McIntyre!” Toledo boos as the Scottish Terminator makes his way to the ring. Drew gets his pyro, then grabs a mic. The fans boo more, but he smiles, only for Cody Rhodes’ entrance to interrupt him. The fans cheer the American Nightmare and sing along with the song, “WHOA~ OH~!”
Cody gets his pyro, he high-fives and even hugs some fans, then goes to the ring. We get the second “WHOA~ OH~!” while Cody stares Drew down. Cody then sets the title down on the table and grabs himself a mic. The fans cheer Cody on, he smiles before asking Drew, “Before we sign that, question for you, Drew: Do you know what happened on this very day 15 years ago? You and I, we won the WWE Tag Team Championships! Right? Do you know who was backstage talking about that? Nobody! And I think you know why. The world doesn’t revolve around you, it doesn’t revolve around me, your story, my story, it’s not. It’s THEIR story!” The fans cheer that!
Cody says it is very simple. The fans don’t need to know all the lore. They just pay their hard earned money to watch two guys, two of the best, come out here and fight! Cody understands who Drew is, he gets it. In the past, Drew won the Royal Rumble. In the past, Drew won the WWE Championship. In the past, Drew slayed the Beast! Drew is 6’5″, 280 pounds, he is the Scottish Warrior! But lately, the Scottish Warrior has just been a Keyboard Warrior. The fans like how that sounds. Cody says go ahead, Drew, we all know he has his phone on him. Go ahead, bring it out, let’s get viral with a post on social. “Get one over on Cody,” as it were.
Drew’s always b*tching and moaning and whining, so just give it all to Cody here and now. Because this will be the last time Drew gets one on Cody. Go ahead, have at it! Drew indeed puts something together. “Thank you, Cody!” Oh, what’s that supposed to mean? It means what it says. Thank you, Cody. All Drew has wanted was a legitimate shot at this title, no outside interference, no one screwing Drew over, and Cody won’t let any of that happen. Cody is the ultimate company guy! Cody is a fighting champion! And honestly, Cody doesn’t think for himself anymore, does he? Cody thinks about the “bigger picture.”
Cody does what’s best for the WWE, the stock, the sponsors, the names on the marquee. Cody is the Corporate Champion! The fans boo but Drew says that used to be a bad thing. Drew kicked Cody through the desk, put him out for five weeks. But instead of stomping Drew’s head out in return, Cody is talking Drew to death! And Drew understands. Cody can put personal issues aside, he isn’t willing to jeopardize the main event of WrestlePalooza tomorrow. Drew was in Cody’s chair five years ago, Drew gets it. But reality check: They will turn on you, move on to the next flavor of the month, and Cody will be stuck sitting in this chair telling himself, “My God…! Drew was right!”
The fans boo but Cody says okay, let’s say Drew is right. Let’s say tomorrow, WrestlePalooza, it is a great night for Drew, until he’s wrong. But then guess what? All those accomplishments, the legacy of this “content creator” he’s become. No, his legacy will not be the man who lost to Cody on their ESPN debut for THE Undisputed WWE Championship! Cody signs his part, pushes the contract to Drew, and Drew signs his. Aldis takes the contract now that it is finalized, and then Drew GLASGOW KISS HEADBUTTS Cody!! The fans foo, Aldis reprimands, but Drew TOSSES the table! Cody falls out of the ring, Drew goes after him, and Drew beats Cody up!
Drew SMACKS Cody off the desk! But then he takes aim again! Flashback to a month ago, but Drew stops himself?! Drew knows he can’t win the title if he sidelines Cody again, so he tells Cody that the match will happen. Then Drew takes what means the most to Cody! Drew pushes Cody down, turns to leave, and he soaks up the boos. Aldis still reprimands, but CODY FLIES! Down goes Drew at the ramp! Cody fires off hands on Drew, Aldis tries to stop this, as do refs and producers! The brawl continues, the two are separated, but Cody gets loose! They fire off hands again, more refs get in there, but then Drew BOOTS Cody down!
Drew STOMPS Cody on the face! Drew says that will be all until tomorrow. Drew tells Cody to sleep tight with the title, because after tomorrow, it’s coming home with Drew! Will the start of the ESPN Era be the end of Cody’s story? Or can Cody be victorious at the end of WrestlePalooza?
My Thoughts:
A very good SmackDown as the first-ever go-home to the first-ever ESPN Unlimited Premium Live Event, WrestlePalooza. And they made sure everyone knew that with the R-Truth promos. Now, it was meant to be six matches on the show, but the WWE Women’s Championship Triple Threat was clearly pushed back to next week to make sure Tiffany Stratton would be 100% by then. Good segment from her, Nia and Jade to set it up, though, and while it is on TV now instead of a special event, there’s still a chance Jade could take the title by pinning Nia over Tiff. Either way, it feels like this can also be a story that branches out to Crown Jewel: Perth.
Damian Priest and Kit Wilson had a good promo, especially with Priest putting Kit through a wall for being so annoying. I don’t think Kit will want a match with Priest, but even if we do, Aleister will probably just attack Priest again. Priest VS Aleister needs to be some No Disqualification style match given the heat here. Good promo from Solo, but are we to believe that MFT has randomly downsized? Are JC Mateo and Talla Tonga hurt? I know I wanted JC to break away from MFT to give us more of the Jeff Cobb fans know from outside WWE, but this is a rather disappointing way to go about it. Hopefully Talla and even Tama Tonga stick by MFT so that at least we’re getting Guerrillas of Destiny hanging together.
Good stuff with Lesnar changing things up on a whim, and wow, kudos to Corey Graves for taking two F5s when he’s been on the sidelines for quite a long time. The Miz jumping in was a nice move, too, since they’re in Ohio, he’s from Ohio, and he could also be there to watch Carmelo VS Sami. Great match from Melo VS Sami, probably Melo’s best since being drafted to SmackDown, but I figured Sami would win to keep the Open Challenge streak going. Can’t wait to see who Sami gets next, and I would think Melo’s next move is to feud with Miz. They’re not doing the tag title story again, despite what Miz’s character wants.
As such, it feels like The Profits and the Wyatts are going to do one more round, and it’ll truly be the make-or-break for the Profits. The promo backstage was good, and it also helped plug Mia & B-Fab VS Kiana & Giulia. We should also remember that The Wyatts started beef with AAA’s Pagano y Psycho Clown, those two could show up and get payback. Great tag title match from Charlotte & Alexa VS Chelsea & Alba, but of course #Charlexa won. Not sure there’s a team on the main roster that can take those titles from them, but at least #Charlexa has great chemistry and a lot of fun, with the fans getting behind them for it.
And with Lesnar “shaking things up,” quite the surprise to see Heyman & The Bron-Brons here. Great match with them and Fraxiom, but with that, the Bron-Brons winning made sense. They’ve got momentum now, and will likely lose to The Usos since this is the reunion of the Usos. Plus, depending on how the finish goes, it can build to Jey bringing out that Tribal Chief style attitude that he’s been getting lately, adding further intrigue to the story. Because let’s be fair, something needs to spice this up, we can’t just be having another Bloodline-adjacent WarGames thing this year, we need something new.

MJF arrives backstage.
Renee Paquette is there to bring up tonight’s main event is Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW World Championship. If Darby Allin wins, MJF will then have to sign a contract for Title VS Hair at Double or Nothing. Darby has made it clear that if MJF doesn’t sign said contract, Darby will never allow MJF to face him for the title again. We all know how important the title is for MJF, but is MJF willing to put his hair on the line for it? MJF just chuckles and moves on, but he notices the very bald Rick Knox, Bryce Remsburg, and the head of security, David Aponte. And then various bald members of the production staff…
And then even Christopher Daniels & Sonjay Dutt are there! Daniels and Sonjay chuckle before moving on, and then MJF sees John Silver flexing. Brandon Cutler, some arena staff, and even Tommaso Ciampa, all bald. Then last but certainly not least, Ricochet! He tells MJF that don’t worry, he’ll look great. Just not as good as Ricochet. AHA~! MJF storms off, will he have no choice but to choose between gold belt and chrome dome?
10 Man Tag: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks VS Tommaso Ciampa, David Finlay, Clark Connors & FTR w/ Stokely Hathaway!
While we know the AEW World Tag Team Championship match will be a conglomeration of I Quit Match and New York Street Fight, THE Conglomeration will be waiting on the other side for their own tag title match. And let’s not forget that Matt & Nick Jackson want their own shot at those titles again. With that, can Freshly Squeezed work together with C&C and The Bucks?

Another star-studded 10 Man Tag, and it was a huge win for all the hungry contenders. Christian doesn’t wanna celebrate, but he does signal that he and Cope will be champions. Will putting their tag team legacy on the line be enough to take the gold? Or will Double or Nothing be the last night that team reeks of awesomeness?
Will Ospreay continues to train with The Death Riders.
They’re outside this time, Claudio Castagnoli playing some wall ball with Marina Shafir and Pac. Daniel Garcia says, “Tonight is the night that we’ve all been waiting for: The Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay, is cleared and back on Dynamite. And rumor has it, the kid’s been working real hard and he’s got some new tricks up his sleeves. So Young Boy Billy, tonight you gotta show me something, c’mon.” Garcia gets a quick turn in on wall ball while cameras move over. Ospreay is maintaining a neck bridge while Jon Moxley uses Wheeler Yuta as a living dummy to show just how to push and pull and bend and twist on the various chinlocks and headlocks.
Use the right arm to push against the head, then snake in the left arm for the sleeper. Pry and shoot. Moxley asks how Ospreay feels. Ospreay lets off the bridge and says honestly, the best he’s felt in forever. Moxley asks if Ospreay remembers the night he won the Best of the Super Juniors. Yeah, 2019. AKA a lifetime ago. Ospreay was carefree, flew like a bird, for no other reason than that’s just what birds do. So simple back then, chasing that feeling, like no other feeling in the world. Can’t really grab it in your hands for more than a few seconds. The joy of doing it. Then everybody comes in and tries to make it so overcomplicated.
Years pass, life happens, a family starts, responsibilities show up, bad things happen, bad choices catch up to you, and it’s all weight on your shoulders. You feel like you can’t fly. But Moxley will tell you something: Nothing is different. Nothing has changed. All those things are still gonna be there, but you can still fly. You’re just more dangerous now. You’re a bird of prey. So tonight, when you got out there, don’t go out there to protect anything. Not your neck, your image, your reputation, or what you’ve built in your career. Go out there to give something. Moxley checks on Yuta and says dammit, if you’re gonna snap a headlock, snap the headlock!
Moxley storms off to instruct his pupil, but will Ospreay use everything he has been taught to great effect? Or will he have to fold against Ace Austin?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“You wanna face Jericho in a match of my own design, Ricochet? A spectacle so innovative, so imaginative, it cannot be contained, it can only be witnessed. Well, be careful what you demand, because you’ve made a few enemies yourself, Ricochet. And now a match designed specifically to settle scores without any, and I mean AAANY~, limitations has gotten even bigger.” Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate were just looking for two more, but “Jungle” Jack Perry said he can bring four: himself, The Young Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! Jericho tells Ricochet that this is no longer what he designed, but it is a devil’s dance of destruction! Ricochet’s destruction!
Ricochet got what he wanted, now can he handle it? Bald. The first-ever SEVEN VS SEVEN Stadium Stampede, who will even survive?
Ricochet & The Demand respond.
They stand with Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family and Ricochet says we all know Jericho does a lot of talking out of his ass while The Demand gets things done. Just like Davis did when he defeated Jack for the AEW National Championship at Fairway to Hell. Hold it with pride, Davis, Ricochet knows you’ll do it well. Davis says he’s got this. Ricochet says Davis has joined the dream team, but he’s not the only one. Because compliments to Ricochet’s golfing buddy, Don Callis, look who else he’s sending: Andrade El Idolo! Gracias, amigo. But it doesn’t stop there, the train keeps rolling. Ricochet was just approached by two guys who have an ax to grind with the superkick sidekicks.
These two wanna fill out the last two spots, so who is Ricochet to say no to The Dogs? Finlay & Connors storm in, and Finlay says to put it simple, they will fight The Bucks in the streets, in the ring, but guess it’s fighting at Double or Nothing! If they want violence, if they want carnage, if they want chaos, who better than The Dogs?! The Dogs bark and Liona roars, but will these seven stand tall in the Big Apple?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS BK Westbrook!
JetSpeed has a lot of momentum on their side, and as stated last week at Fairway to Hell, they’re looking to grab up all the gold they can. Will Speedball keep on rolling towards his own golden opportunity? Or will #Supastud prove his own worth?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two step up. Bailey bows in respect, offers a handshake, but Westbrook goes to roll Bailey up! Bailey stays on his feet, then steps over to sit down on a cover, TWO! Westbrook ducks a Penalty Kick, avoids the moonsault, and the sweep! Bailey dodges, Westbrook tiger feints through the ropes, but Bailey handsprings up and over! The fans fire up as Bailey ducks an elbow to whip. Westbrook goes up, around, but kinda fumbles his tumble. The fans cheer and jeer him for his attempt, but Westbrook blocks the boot! Westbrook FLIPS Bailey, springboards in, but Bailey dodges! TIME ADVENTURE!
Bailey pushes Westbrook down, goes up the corner, and the fans fire up for the ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: Mike Bailey, by pinfall
Another fast ‘n’ furious finish, and Bailey’s on a hot streak! But now, the other side of JetSpeed looks to keep it up! But just who is Kevin Knight defending the TNT Championship against? It’s… BRIAN CAGE!? The Machine finally returns to action, and he has the Don Callis Family with him! Will Cage be able to ground Knight and take this title back to the family?

Cage RAMS into Knight, stands him up, then RAMS again! The ref counts, Cage CHOPS, and the fans cheer. Bailey rallies the fans but Archer coaches Cage, and Cage whips Knight hard into the corner! The fans are torn as Cage hauls Knight up. Cage ROCKS Knight, CHOPS him, then CHOKES him on the ropes! The ref counts, Cage stops at 4, then Cage stalks Knight.

But he bounces off Cage! Cage then fireman’s carries, APRON F5! Knight sputters but Cage goes up the steps to soak up cheers and jeers, all while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Knight survives and Cage is frustrated, but Cage decides to write Knight off. Cage drags Knight up, reels him in, and suplexes, DRILL- NO, Knight slips free to waistlock. But Cage ELBOWS Knight, whips, but Knight jumps up! SATELLITE- NO, Cage goes for ropes! Knight HOTSHOTS Cage for it! Then Knight springboards back in, MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up while both men are down! A standing count starts while the fans rally up. Cage goes to a corner but he runs up on Knight.

The Machine was out for 14 months and yet no ring rust to be found! However, The Jet is just #2Fly2Stop! Bailey brings mics into the ring to say, “Congratulations to The Jet on a hell of a win!” Knight says much appreciated. But like he said, they’re red hot right now! And Brian Cage, welcome back! Cage took Knight to his limits, but The Jet is still standing as TNT Champion. But Knight can’t get over how last week, he couldn’t get the job done becoming #Jet2Belts. Bailey says forget last week. Knight IS a future AEW World Champion! Bailey says he knows it, and everyone here knows it! The fans cheer that!
Knight says he appreciates the support from Bailey and Ashville. Bailey is always in his corner, Knight is always in Bailey’s. And if Bailey keeps it up, he’ll be singles champion, too. Bailey says yeah, Knight got him thinking. Tonight, Darby VS Takeshita, BAILEY WANTS NEXT! Bailey says Takeshita was his greatest rival in Japan, but they’ve yet to have a singles match in AEW.

AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!
This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!
“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.
“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!
“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?
Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!
We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?

They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to wristlock. Ace rolls, handsprings, and wrenches, but Ospreay rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Ospreay hammerlocks, Ace rolls to kip up and wrench to then armlock. Ospreay endures the grind, fights around, and he arm-drags Ace down. Ace endures, fights around, and rises up. Ace shoots through to waistlock but Ospreay switches. Ospreay hits the headlock takeover, Ace headscissors, but Ospreay kips free.
The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back.

The fans fire up with Ospreay as he watches Ace rise up. Ospreay ducks a shot, atomic drops, then KNEES, ROUNDHOUSES, and STANDING SKY TWISTERS! Cover, TWO! Ace survives that quick string of moves, but Ospreay brings him back around. Ospreay wrenches, ELBOW BREAKERS, then KICKS the bad arm! And KICKS again! And again! But Ace blocks one to ROCK Ospreay! Ace whips, Ospreay handsprings, NEURALIZER KICK!
The fans fire up while Ace bails out! Ospreay has the fans shouting “OI! OI! OI!” as he takes aim. But Ace avoids the plancha! Ospreay blocks the kick, only for Ace to handstand out of the sweep! Ace avoids another sweep, but Ospreay avoids the kick! Ace avoids yet another sweep by going up and over the corner! Ace WRECKS Ospreay with a dropkick, then aims to PLANCHA after all! Down goes Ospreay and the fans fire up! Ace drags Ospreay up, but Ospreay puts him int he ring! Ace rewinds to headscissor, but Ospreay pops Ace up to SUPERKICK the arm out! Ospreay then climbs up, takes aim, and BLINDSIDE FOREARM!
The fans fire up as Ospreay springboards, OSCUTTER! Cover, TWO! Ace survives and Ospreay is stunned! Ospreay just shakes it off, goes to the corner, and takes aim. Ace slowly rises up, but he ducks the Hidden Blade to DOUBLE STOMP! Ospreay sputters, Ace falls back, and now Ace takes aim. Ace runs corner to corner to A-LIST LARIAT! Then he LARIATS again and again! Ace hoists Ospreay up top, then slips outside to ENZIGIRI! Ospreay wobbles, Ace gets space, and Ace runs up! FLIPPING RANA! The fans fire up as Ace is ready to deal the winning hand! But then Ospreay pops Ace up, and gets him in position! STYLES- NO, Ace pops free!
Ace trips Ospreay, steps through, ties up the legs, TRAILER HITCH BRIDGE! TWO!! Ospreay escapes, but Ace KNEES, KICKS, and fireman’s carries! Ace tucks Ospreay to then swing him out, AIR RAID FLATLINER! Cover, TWO!! Ospreay survives and Ace is beside himself! “This is Awesome!” as Ace stalks Ospreay to a corner. Ace ROCKS Ospreay again and again, then hoists Ospreay up top. But Ospreay fires shots in return! Ace ROCKS Ospreay, goes up, but Ospreay pushes on Ace’s arm! Then he HOTSHOTS the arm as he drops down, and he tucks Ace in! CHEEKY NAN- NO, Ace dodges! Ace RAMS low, springboards in and FLYING- LIGER BOMB!! Cover, TWO!!
The fans fire up as Ace survives again! Ospreay roars, the fans are with him, and he ROCKS Ace! Ace ROCKS Ospreay, and repeat! They go back and forth, then Ospreay KICKS! Ace fires another forearm, Ospreay kicks, then Ace CHOPS! They go back and forth again, but Ace CHOPS and ROKCS, until Ospreay fires Kawada Kicks! CHOP! Ace HEEL KICKS! Ace shakes out the bad arm, runs up, but Ospreay dodges to then ROLLING ELBOW! And HOOK KICK! Then the underhooks for the STORM- NO, Ace pops free, then goes to a corner. Ospreay runs up but Ace goes sideways! Ospreay hits buckles, Ace hits the FLYING CHUCK!
The fans fire up as Ace shuffles the deck, and runs up for the0 NO, Ospreay BACKDROPS Ace, but Ace lands on his feet! HIDDEN BLADE!! Ospreay isn’t done with just one, he aims from the corner and… Ace flops over! The fans boo but Ospreay shows no mercy. He just runs up to PENALTY KICK the bad arm! Then a FLYING ARMBAR TAKEDOWN!! Ace TAPS, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission
That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.
Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.
Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.
Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!
MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.
So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?
AEW now announces the Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament brackets!
Double or Nothing will see Willow Nightingale, the reigning Queen of Harts, take on Alex Windsor, while we will see Persephone VS Hazuki, Skye Blue vs Sareee, and Mina Shirakawa VS Athena! Champions from around the world are gathering for this tournament, but who will be headed to Forbidden Door, and then All In: London?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is now with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Willow Nightingale. Renee commends Cassidy on his part in the 10 Man Tag victory. But it seems that there is even more business to attend to. Cassidy says yes, the team has a shot at THE AEW World Tag Team Championships. It doesn’t matter who it is, they’re getting their shot, but the thing is… They still haven’t decided on which two will be. Kyle says Cassidy & Roddy should go for the gold, but Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! Thank you.” Kyle says of course. But that’s cuz he’s got gold to chase for himself!
The same man that put Kyle on the shelf for months is the man that Kyle submitted twice, and will submit again. Jon Moxley, Continental Champion, when are we doing this? Willow says speaking of gold, she is still the TBS Champion. But she is also in the Owen Hart Cup. She won this tournament before, she’ll do it all over again, so that she can have all the gold for herself at All In: London. She knows she can, and she will! Then Conglomeration has it all in order? Cassidy says hold on, there’s something missing. They should do a Word of the Day. Why haven’t they done one in so long? Roddy shouts for “MAAARK~!” And yes, Mark Briscoe returns!
The Sussex County Chicken is all fired up, and he says the Word of the day is reunification! For Mark Briscoe is back with his boys and his girls, The Conglomeration! But he’ll put this plain and simple: Tommaso Ciampa! Next Wednesday, Briscoe’s after your ass, son! You hear him? But before that, Saturday Night Collision is in HIS hometown, Salisbury, Maryland! That’s just 4.4 miles from where Briscoe originated on this earth! They’re gonna conglomerate and it’s gonna be a a hell of a time! Are you ready!? Willow and Kyle are fired up, Briscoe goes wild, and the team heads out. Cassidy admits, that was a lot of yelling.
But while The Conglomeration is ready to go Double or Nothing, will they soon have even more gold in the collection? Or are these high and lofty a little too much even for them?
Six Woman Tag: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds VS The Triangle of Madness!
With the news of both the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way for Double or Nothing, and the Owen Hart Cup brackets, this trios match is about much more than just settling scores! Will the Shining Samurai be just as sharp as Jamie Hayter going into that title match? Or will Thekla, Skye Blue & Julia Hart continue to bring them down by any means necessary?
The trios sort out and Jamie steps up against Thekla as both a rematch from their 1v1 title match, and a preview of what’s to come in the next. They circle, but then Skye CLOBBERS Jamie! Julia steps in, but so do Shida and Windsor! The Triangle throws hands on Shida & The Birds, then triple whip. But all three reverse, a BOOT for Thekla, a DDT for Skye, and a BACKBREAKER for Julia! The fans cheer as The Triangle bails out! Shida goes out to keep after Skye while Windsor goes after Julia. Jamie gets Thekla back in the ring while Shida and Windsor have the Sisters of Sin in the corners of the barriers. The fans cheer as they all rain down fists!
Windsor, Jamie & Shida all go to nine, then wind up for TEN! The fans cheer again while Thekla sputters. Jamie snap suplexes, but Skye ROCKS Shida! Jamie stomps Thekla, Windsor SLAMS Julia off barriers, and Jamie stomps a mudhole in the corner. The ref counts, Jamie lets off, but Skye and Windsor meet while tightrope walking the barriers! Skye and Windsor trade shots, they wobble a bit, then Skye DECKS Windsor! Skye keeps from falling into the crowd, but Jamie gets her! Windsor joins in and the Birds double gorilla press, SNAKE EYES off the apron! The fans fire up, but Thekla is up top! SUPER CROSSBODY onto The Birds!
The fans fire up again and Thekla is feeling it while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Thekla stomps Windsor, CLUBS Jamie, then helps Skye. But Shida runs up, only for Thekla to ELBOW her down! The Triangle has control again, they ROCK Jamie and Shida and Windsor, then send them all to the desk. The Triangle CHOP again and again and again! Then they wind up, but feint chops to SMACK all three off the apron! The Triangle soaks up the cheers and jeers before putting Jamie back in the ring. Thekla brings Jamie up, snapmares her down, then basement SUPERKICKS! Cocky cover, TWO! Thekla drags Jamie to the corner, tags Julia, and Julia runs up to LARIAT! Then she goes side to side to ELBOW Jamie down!
Julia snapmares Jamie to a cover, TWO! Julia is annoyed but she rains down fists. The ref reprimands, Julia stops, but then she sucker punches Windsor! And Shida, too! Julia then drags Jamie over, bumps her off buckles, and tags in Skye. Skye stomps Jamie around, then digs her boot in! The ref counts, Skye stops at 4, then she brings Jamie up. Jamie fires forearms and CHOPS, but Skye THROWS Jamie down by her hair! The ref reprimands again but Skye rains down forearms. Skye snapmares Jamie, mule kicks her, then covers, TWO! Skye frowns but she stomps Jamie down. Skye tags Julia while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Skye whips Jamie into Julia’s grasp, and Skye BLASTS Shida & Windsor while Julia tags Thekla. Julia has Jamie in the TARANTULA, and Skye sends Windsor in for Thekla’s HANGING HEADSCISSORS! Skye runs up to DOUBLE SHOTGUN The Birds! The fans are torn but Thekla says that’s how the Triangle does it, baby! Thekla then aims to MISSILE- NO, Jamie gest under! Thekla lands out, but Jamie BOOTS her down! Jamie looks at Shida, Shida is hesitant, but Shida tags in! The fans cheer as Shida sends Theknla to the corner, then JUMP KNEES! Shida keeps moving, she BLASTS Skye! Julia ROCKS Shida back!
Julia storms in but Shida kicks her and whips her into Thekla! Shida KNEES them both in the corner! Then Shida puts Thekla sideways in the corner, reels Julia in, and she snap suplexes Julia into Thekla! The fans fire up as Shida then suplexes Thekla high and hard! Cover, TWO! Shida stands Thekla up, Thekla swings but Shida ROCKS her first! And ROCKS her again! Thekla wobbles, swings, but Shida catches Thekla for another forearm! Shida runs the ropes but Thekla mule kicks! Thekla SMACKS Shida, then she dodges a boot to DECK Shida! Thekla talks trash on Shida, then drags her up to tag in Julia.
Julia tags Skye, then tag back to Thekla. The Sisters of Sin hit the DOUBLE GOURD BUSTER and DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Thekla hits the bridge, and she aims for the SPIDER SPEAR! Cover, but The Birds CLOBBER The Sisters of Sin onto it! The fans fire up a Windsor DECKS Skye and Jamie HEADBUTTS Julia! The Birds drag Shida to safety, Windsor tags in, and she CLOBBERS Thekla! Windsor CLUBS away, then fires the fans up. Jamie steps in, BOOT RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP COMBO! Basement LARIAT! And then Windsor lifts! Jamie runs up, but Skye trips Jamie! The fans boo but Skye sends Jamie into steel steps!
Thekla sends Windsor into buckles! Tag to Julia before Shida runs up, TAMASHII KNEE on Thekla! Skye SUPERKICKS Shida! Jamie is back to clinch and HAYTBREAKER! Julia runs up, slips around, SOLE FOOD! Julia kips up, but Windsor is there to whip Julia to ropes! Skye tags in before the SPINEBUSTER! Skye SUPERKICKS Windsor, then brings her up! Skye hops on, CODE- NO, Windsor pops free! Skye SUPERKICKS again, but Windsor HEADBUTTS! The fans fire up as Jamie joins in again, and they DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Then they set Skye up, and Jamie says let’s try this again!
Jamie runs the ropes, but Thekla slides in, BELT SHOT on Jamie!! No question that the ref saw that! The Triangle is disqualified!
Winners: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds, by disqualification
The Toxic Spider doesn’t care about this win, she just wants to do damage! Skye gets Windsor in a DRAGON SLEEPER! The ref stops Thekla from sing the title belt again, so Thekla just takes off her own belt! And she LASHES Windsor while Skye holds her down! More refs rush out here, but Julia MISTS the newbie in the face! Julia stomps away on Jamie, not caring about fines or consequences, either! The fans boo, and Shida is bailing on the Birds? Shida cares more about her chances in that Fatal 4 Way than anything else. But then Willow, Mina, and even Thunder Rosa rush out here! They chase The Triangle off with belts of their own!
The fans cheer as The Babe, the Fighting Gravure Idol & La Mera Mera save the day. But will Jamie make sure Thekla and Shida pay for this at Double or Nothing?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita!
They say “card subject to change,” and that is true even for the best in the world. Kazuchika Okada’s real family takes priority, but his Don Callis Family brother was more than happy to step up for this opportunity. Will The Alpha already have two belts by the time he and The Rainmaker battle over the International Championship? Or will Darby truly be relentless in his pursuit of being the best fighting champion in AEW history?
The introductions are made, THE belt is raised, and we see who goes to Double or Nothing on top!
