PLAY BY PLAY

Seth Rollins is here!

Perth sings along with the song, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” as The Visionary, the Revolutionary, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion and THE 2025 Men’s Crown Jewel Champion leads the way for The Oracle, The Badass & Auszilla, all while wearing a yellow-and-black plaid ensemble of pants, shirt, and even long coat. The Vision stands in the ring and they revel in the singing, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” The fans even bark for Bron Breakker. Then they shift to, “Seth is a Wanker!” “No, He’s Not!” Paul Heyman has the mic, and he hands it to Seth so he can tell Perth, Australia, “Welcome to Monday Night Rollins!”

The singing returns, which amuses Rollins. “And in case you wankers don’t know…” The fans cheer for that turnabout… “I am the Crown Jewel Champion! I am the World Heavyweight Champion! I am a Revolutionary! I am a Visionary! I am…” “SETH! FREAKIN’! ROLLINS!” The fans cheer themselves for that, and Rollins says, “And this is The Vision. This is MY Vision! And while tonight is about me, I’m gonna take a moment ot recognize the greatness that is standing in this ring. The greatness that I have assembled!” The fans do applaud that. Rollins says, “First, his name is Paul Heyman! My Oracle! A Wise Man forsaken by his Tribal Chief, betrayed his best friend!

“You (Paul) came to me in a moment of need, I took you in, and with my Vision, together, we have solidified you as the undisputed GOAT! Sir, I am a blessed man for being in your presence.” Rollins and Heyman hug and the fans do applaud. The fans then taunt Rollins, “Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!” Rollins kisses Heyman on the forehead and says ain’t no shame in that! That’s love! Rollins then moves on to Bron, and the fans bark. Rollins barks, too, and he wants a twitch. Bron chuckles, and he takes off his sunglasses so he can tweak out! Rollins says six months ago, there were whispers about potential.

Bron came to Rollins, and with Rollins’ Vision, Bron has flourished and become everything Rollins thought he could be and more. Bron is the undisputed future of this industry! And then… The fans cheer as Rollins goes to “Big Bronson Reed!” Auszilla! Six months ago, he was on the shelf. He couldn’t have beat Roman Reigns. The fans sing for, “Bronson, Bronson Reed~!” Rollins says Bronson couldn’t have beaten Roman six months ago. But with Rollins’ Vision, he gave Bronson every bit of knowledge he had about Roman. Not only did Bronson beat Roman, he DESETROYED and EMBARRASSED Roman Reigns! Bronson is the NEW Tribal Chief! HAHAHAHA!

The fans are a bit torn but plenty do ACKNOWLEDGE Bronson. Rollins then says that brings him to… “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” Rollins says no, Perth. He has some questions here. Two questions. He knows they’re not very smart but he’ll try anyways. “Who is the greatest World Heavyweight Champion of all time? And why is it ME? HAHAHAHA!” Roman Reigns likes to say there are levels to this game. Well, at this very level, there is nobody on Rollins’ level! The fans boo but Rollins says the difference between him and all the other greats of his generation is that Rollins hasn’t needed anyone to get his success!

The fans boo that hypocrisy and even call BS, but Rollins says he’s spitting straight facts! Roman Reigns needed The Shield, he needed The Bloodline! Cody Rhodes needed Rollins to beat Roman Reigns! Rollins has never needed anybody. He doesn’t need Bronson, Bron, or Heyman! He beat CM Punk and Roman Reigns on his own! He won this world title on his own! He TROUNCED Cody Rhodes with one good arm, ON HIS OWN! Those are facts! Rollins doesn’t need these men, he has chosen these men, and they have chosen him! Because Rollins IS a Visionary! He IS a Revolutionary! He is the Greatest to Ever Do It! Seth FREAKIN’ ROLLINS!

Mic drop, title raise, and lots of pyro for THE Crown Jewel Champion! But while they were all victorious on Saturday, will The Vision still succeed in taking over everything in the WWE?

Penta heads to gorilla.

And Rusev finds him first. Rusev says Penta shouldn’t be fighting in this match tonight. Rusev beat Penta, and then “Baby Boy” Dom cheated Rusev out of the title. But yet, Penta is getting this title match. But Rusev will allow it, as he already talked to Pearce so that he will get the winner of tonight’s match. And if happens to be Penta, do not think Rusev forgot about that kick last week. So here’s some advice: Pray. Penta just calls Rusev an idiot and leaves. And then Dom walks by, sees Rusev, and goes the other way! Will Dirty Dom survive the frying pan only to end up in the fire? Or will the Man with Zero Fear be the one to deal with the Son of Thunder?

Backstage interview with LA Knight.

Jackie Redmond is with the Mega Star, and brings up last week where Knight pinned former World Heavyweight Champion, Jey Uso. Tonight, Knight gets an opportunity to do it again, but in a Triple Threat to name a #1 contender. The only difference this time is that CM Punk isn’t a teammate, he’s an opponent. How much confidence can Knight take from last week? Knight says first, he’s glad Jackie knows how these matches work. LEMME TALK TO YA! Yeah, Punk is not a partner, Punk might get himself punched in the mouth, Punk might get himself pinned, just like Jey did last week.

But whether Knight has to pin Jey or pin Punk, this match isn’t for the #1 contender spot, it might as well be FOR the World Heavyweight Championship. As Knight sees it, he goes on, him and Rollins, and he’ll be 3-0 against Rollins, and of course CM Punk steps in… Punk says he heard his name, so why not? Plus, Knight’s wasting Jackie’s time, talking about the past. Knight ain’t gonna pin Punk and he ain’t gonna be World Heavyweight Champion. Last week was real cute, Knight stealing one from Punk. Not gonna happen this week. Knight says fair enough, but here’s what Punk needs to do. Punk needs to accept that the “is-ness” that is Knight, and Knight is what is.

And what else is, is Knight means being World Heavyweight Champion, and there’s nothing Punk, Jey, or anyone else can do about it. As a matter of fact, when Knight looks back here, that’s where Punk’s headed! YEAH! Knight heads out, Punk is speechless, but who will have the last laugh at the end of the night?

Kairi Sane sulks and despairs backstage.

But then she hears Asuka coming and she does her best to stand at attention. Asuka tells Kairi to come, come, come. Kairi steps closer, and Asuka says at Crown Jewel, Kairi lost that match! Right? R-Right. Rhea & Iyo still have disrespect for them! Yes, Asuka-san! Kairi is so sorry! But…! Kairi grabs Asuka’s hand, but Asuka says no touch. Kairi lets go, and promises, she can fix this! She’ll talk to Iyo- Asuka says what? Iyo? No, Kairi needs to fix this mess she made for Asuka. Because tonight, Kairi’s facing Rhea Ripley! Kairi will destroy Rhea, and that will make everyone realize that Asuka is in charge.

Asuka turns to go, Kairi pleads with “nee-san,” but again she’s touching Asuka! Asuka shakes Kairi off, but Kairi shows the big bruise on her forehead Rhea left! This is because Kairi tried to help and- ASUKA SLAPS KAIRI!! Asuka tells Kairi that she’s gonna fix this, or else. Asuka leaves, and Kairi is in shock. How much longer is the Pirate Princess going to stay the Empress’ puppet?

Rhea Ripley w/ Iyo Sky VS Kairi Sane w/ Asuka!

Raw returns as Kairi makes her entrance, Asuka right behind her. The bell rings and the fans rally behind Mami, but also they tell Asuka off for how she’s treating Kairi.

The Usos talk backstage.

Jimmy is taping up, ready to fight Bronson Reed tonight. Jimmy promises to get him, he’ll represent. But check this out, and he’ll say this one more time. They helped The Tribal Chief out, and it’s still their fault? They’re still getting blamed for that? Jey says Roman said it himself: It goes one way, and that’s Roman’s way. All Roman ever does is look out for himself. Maybe the Usos should do the same. Jimmy asks what Jey’s talking about. That doesn’t even sound like Jey. Jey says he appreciates Jimmy going after The Vision, but Jey’s got his own Triple Threat match. Jey can’t make the same mistake in Paris, sticking his neck out for Roman, because it’ll cost him the world title.

Jey got hurt, so he won’t make the same mistake. He can’t, Uce. Oh, so what? Jimmy takes a guess: Jimmy’s on his own tonight? Jey thinks #BigJim can’t handle #BigBronson? No, that’s not what he meant. Then good, Uce! Jey can handle his business while Jimmy handles his. Jimmy storms off, Jey is beside himself, but is the OG Bloodline only falling further apart thanks to Seth Rollins?

Bronson Reed VS Jimmy Uso!

Big Jim doesn’t even wait for the bell, he throws hands as soon as he’s in the ring! The fans fire up, Bronson BODY BLOWS in return, and then he CLUBS Jimmy! Bronson says, “You know who you’re messing with?” Bronson BODY BLOWS Jimmy again, then whips. Jimmy grabs ropes, DUMPS Bronson out, and then goes out to storm up, UPPERCUT! And CHOP! But Bronson kicks low! Bronson scoops, Jimmy slips free, and Jimmy POSTS Bronson! The ring count climbs but Jimmy SMACKS Bronson off the desk first! Jimmy winces, his ribs still hurting from Saturday, but he still BOOTS Bronson! And CHOPS!

Jimmy CHOPS, the fans “WOO~,” but Bronson blocks a whip to reverse it. Jimmy BOOTS again, then goes up, CROSSBODY! But into Bronson’s arms! WORLD’S STRONGEST SLAM! Bronson rips Jimmy’s jersey away to show off the rib tape. The fans are torn but Bronson ELBOW DROPS! Jimmy sputters, Bronson paces, and Raw goes to break.

Raw returns again and Bronson drags Jimmy up in the corner. Bronson whips corner to corner hard, then watches Jimmy flounder around. Bronson soaks up cheers and jeers, then SENTON FLOPS as Jimmy moves! Jimmy goes to a corner, Bronson runs in again, but Jimmy sends him into the buckles! Bronson falls back, the fans rally up, and Jimmy sits up. Jimmy nods as he rises up, and he UPPERCUTS Bronson! And UPPERCUTS! Jimmy then ducks to mule kick! And UPPERCUT! Bronson wobbles, Jimmy tries to fireman’s carry, but his ribs won’t let him! Bronson fireman’s carries, Jimmy slips free!

Bronson blocks a kick but not the DRAGON WHIP! Jimmy then GAMANGIRIS in the corner! Bronson sits down, Jimmy goes corner to corner, HIP ATTACK! Cover, TWO! Bronson stays in this but Jimmy hurries up the corner. USO IN THE WIND! Cover, TWO! Bronson is tougher than that, but Jimmy still tries to fireman’s carry!? He manages it!? But then he falls over under Bronson’s weight! SENTON! SENTON again! Bronson goes up the corner! TSUNAMI!! Cover, Bronson wins!

Winner: Bronson Reed, by pinfall

Jimmy’s heart wanted to keep fighting, but his body could not! Bronson gets another win over another Bloodline member, but now Bron is out here. And he decides he wants a piece of #BigJim! Bron slides into the ring and he SPEARS Jimmy back down!! Bronson then sets Jimmy back up, and Bron SPEARS Jimmy again!! The fans either boo or bark while Bronson kicks Jimmy out of the ring. Bron goes out the side, he wants to recreate Saturday! BUT JEY RUSHES OUT HERE! Despite what he said, Jey can’t just abandon his brother! SUPERKICK on Bronson! Bron TACKLES Jey! But then Jey fires haymakers!

Jey TOSSES Bron out, but Bronson SPLASHES Jey! Jey is down, Bronson drags him up, but Jey SUPERKICKS! Bronson falls out of the ring! The fans fire up as The Usos regroup. Jimmy thanks his brother, but Jey is still upset that it had to come to this. Bron & Bronson leave it alone, and Jey tells Jimmy to get it right. Will Main Event Jey Uso still have what he needs to win tonight’s Triple Threat?

Bayley & Lyra Valkyria warm-up backstage.

Lyra hopes Bayley is good for this. She feels great! No jetlag even! No, Lyra doesn’t want Bayley acting like it’s nothing. Lyra still isn’t sure if she can trust Bayley. Bayley asks what she means, and Lyra says Judgment Day is (almost) always on the same page, and when Lyra & Bayley are good, they are great. But let’s be real, sometimes… They’re just a bit off. And unless Lyra can count on Bayley and she knows exactly what to expect out there… This might be the last time they team. Bayley thinks Lyra’s kidding. She knows Lyra knows they’re great together! They won that tag gauntlet, remember? Okay, let’s go!

Lyra is still worried about Bayley’s… mood… But can Morrigan & Role Model hold it together long enough to overcome The Prodigy & Big Mami Cool?

Bayley & Lyra Valkyria VS Roxanne Perez & Raquel Rodriguez!

Raw returns as The Judgment Day makes their entrance together. The teams sort out, Lyra starts against Raquel, and the fans sing, “HEEEEY~ HEY, BAYLEY~! HOO, HAH!

Roxie fights that with the headlock, but Lyra powers out to sweep the leg, and basement DROPKICK! Cover, TWO!

The fans rally as Lyra holds onto Roxie with an armlock. Roxie fights around, fights up, and pulls hair to drag Lyra to the corner. Tag to Raquel and Judgment Day mugs Lyra. The fans rally but Raquel taunts Bayley. Lyra fires forearms on Raquel! Raquel blocks a kick, reels Lyra in, back suplex! Lyra lands out, tag to Bayley! Raquel runs up, Bayley ROCKS Raquel, then Lyra feeds Raquel to the corner. Double kick combo, then a RAM and a KICK and an ENZIGIRI! Raquel goes to the corner. Roxie runs in, but Bayley dodges!

Winners: Bayley & Lyra Valkyria, by pinfall

Lyra celebrates with Bayley, because somehow, someway, they figured out how to use that madness to their advantage! Will this lead them to the tag titles they were always promised?

The Vision regroups backstage.

Heyman sings, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” for Rollins and he says this is why he loves Heyman. The last six months, nothing but smiles. And y’know what? The last six months are nothing compared to what the next six months. Heck, the next 12, 18, the entire future is special. Rollins can feel it, he can sense it. Something big is on the horizon. “I don’t know when, I don’t know how, but I feel it.” Then Bron & Bronson walk in and Rollins is so proud! Masterful work! They’re so sick of The Usos, and… He loves them, man! Seeing their faces, seeing what they’ve become, feeling all the energy here from this weekend, and he means this… This is the most incredible weekend of his career.

He means that from the bottom of his heart. The birth of his child, then marrying his wife Becky, and then, seeing how much Bron & Bronson have grown. Those are his proudest moments. He means that. He just wants to take a moment to let them all know, this IS the mountaintop. This IS the rarified air. Breathe that in! It’s incredible. Very few men understand what this is like, and you guys are here. The crazy thing is… Rollins feels like they’re just this close to taking the next step. He’s on cloud nine right now, and there is absolutely nothing that’ll knock him off the mountaintop. If Seth Rollins is on top of the world now, how much higher will he get as The Vision continues on?

Adam Pearce talks with the refs.

He wants updates on Rhea & Iyo, so Eddie Durango says he’ll get on that. AJ Styles steps in, he and Pearce shake hands. Styles says Crown Jewel was amazing. It would’ve been even better if he’d won, but hey, it is what it is. John Cena is a legend. But so is Styles. Pearce wants to thank Styles, and while the world is saying it, he wants to say it, too: Cena and Styles created a moment in time. Dom walks over, saying blah blah blah, moment in time! What about Dom? He’s the ONLY Double Champion, and Styles knows nothing about that. Pearce tells Dom that they’re trying to do business here. If Dom is dropping a hammer on someone, do it another time.

Dom says he has no idea what Pearce means. But also, why is Pearce making Dom face Rusev next week? Is Dom the only champion working? Did Dom cheat Rusev? Dom again doesn’t know what he’s talking about. But then Styles says, “Cheater McGee’s got a point.” Dom is the only one defending his title. So maybe JD McDonagh & Finn Balor should defend their tag titles. In fact, it should be against Styles & Dragon Lee! Dom tries to say that’s not what he meant, but Pearce says that’s a great idea, Dom! And y’know what? Why not do it next week? What an awesome idea, Dom! Such an inspiration! He’s the man! Now, should Pearce let them know? Or will Dom do that first?

Dom says he is the man, and he will let them know! Dom says this ruined his day. Dom storms off, Pearce and Styles fist bump. But will the Irish Ace & The Prince NOT be okay having to defend their gold in the Golden State?

Jackie Redmond is on stage.

And she asks we welcome out the WWE Women’s World Champion, and the 2025 Women’s Crown Jewel Champion, Stephanie Vaquer! Perth fires up as La Primera makes her entrance. She gets pyro and flames, and Jackie congratulates Vaquer on defeating Tiffany Stratton to become the second-ever Women’s Crown Jewel Champion! An incredible weekend that continues an incredible year for Vaquer, and though it’s only been 48 hours, how does she feel? Vaquer says in Spanish and English that she is happy and blessed! She is the first-ever woman in WWE history to win four major titles in one year!

The fans cheer, as indeed, from both NXT Women’s & Women’s North American Championships to then the WWE Women’s World and now Women’s Crown Jewel Championship, that is a unique grand slam of its own. But someone interrupts! Raquel leads the way for her and Roxie as they storm back out here. Raquel “congratulates” the champion. But Stephanita, why’re you emotional over a title you never should’ve won? Vaquer says she knows they lost and are having a bad night, but that is not her problem. Roxie says of course not! But it would be if Roxie got the match that she deserves! Everyone forgets Roxie was the last woman to beat Iyo Sky!

Roxie should’ve been at WrestlePalooza, she should’ve become Women’s World Champion, and she should be Women’s Crown Jewel Champion! Vaquer tells Roxie that she doesn’t care Roxie’s beaten before, because she’ll never beat Vaquer! If she wants to fight, stop crying and do something about it! Oh, she will! But on her time, not Vaquer’s time. Then Vaquer says she’ll wait for Roxie en Infierno. The battlelines have been drawn, when and where will La Primera and Prodigy battle it out?

Jey Uso is in the concourse.

The fans are ready, and Jey asks that they please, please, play his music! UH UH, YEET!! And that means it is time for the main event! Perth is ready to make this YEETstralia, but will Jey once again be #1 contender? Will it be The Mega Star’s game tonight? Or will the Second City Saint have his rematch with his most hated rival?

WWE World Heavyweight Championship #1 Contender’s Triple Threat: LA Knight VS CM Punk VS Jey Uso!

The fans finish singing Cult of Personality for Punk, then the bell rings. Perth is thunderous for Punk already as he and the others circle, Punk hits Knight, then Jey, but they hit back! Knight CLUBS away on Punk, kicks Jey, ROCKS Jey, then stomps, “YEAHN! YEAH!” Punk turns Knight around to throw hands, then’ shouts “YEAH!” Fireman’s carry, but Knight fights free! Jey SUPERKICKS Punk! The fans are torn but Jey sees Punk go outside. The fans chant for Punk again but Jey says, “YEET!” Jey builds speed but Knight LARIATS! “YEAH!” Then Knight WRECKS Punk with a dropkick! “YEAH!” The fans fire up but here comes Jey! Jey DIVES and takes out Knight!

The fans fire up but Jey checks his head from hitting the desk. Main Event Jey is in control as Raw goes to break.

Raw returns and Knight SMACKS Punk off the steel steps, “YEAH!” Then again! Then Knight THROWS Punk into the crowd! Knight storms in, Jey fires hands, Knight returns fire! “YEET!” “YEAH!” “YEET!” “YEAH!” But Punk is back, DOUBLE CROSSBODY off the top! The fans fire up as Punk stands back up! Punk runs to SHINING WIZARD Knight in one corner, then he runs, but Jey dodges! Mule kick, UPPERCUT, and a kick, but Punk blocks! Punk spins Jey but Jey DRAGON WHIPS! Now Jey has targets in the corners! “UCE! OH! UCE! OH” HIP ATTACK for Knight! HIP- NO, Punk BOOTS Jey first!

Punk LARIATS Jey, then spins him for a NECKBREAKER! SHINING WIZARD for Knight again! SHINING WIZARD for Jey! BULLDOG LARIAT COMBO! The fans fire up and Punk stomps around and shakes the ropes! Punk says time for bed! He scoops Knight to SLAM him, then he goes up a corner. MACHO ELBOW! Right on the Slim Jim logo! Now Punk fireman’s carries Knight! Knight flails, slips free, and REVERSE DDT! Jey runs up, Knight kicks him first to DDT down! Jey sputters, Knight puts him and Punk side-by-side! Knight goes up, spells it out, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!” DOUBLE BOX JUMP ELBOWS!! Cover on Punk, TWO! Cover on Jey, TWO!

The fans fire up again while all three men are down, and Raw goes back to break.

Raw returns again and Jey ROCKS Punk! “YEET!” Punk winds up to JAB Jey! Jey ROCKS Punk! They go back and forth, Jey gets the edge, then he pops, locks, puts some stank on it, but Punk fireman’s carries! Jey slips free, Knight DOUBLE LARIATS them both! The fans fire up as Knight stomps away on Jey in the corner, “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight runs corner to corner to KNEE Jey! But Punk ROCKS Knight!

USO SPLASH on Knight!! Cover, TWO!!

The fans fire up as all three men are down again! Punk goes to a far corner, Jey goes to the ropes, and Knight crawls. The fans hope these three “Fight Forever!” but someone has to become #1 contender somehow! Jey rises, he aims at Punk, but Punk KICKS the spear away!

Winner: CM Punk, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship)

The Best in the World just snatched victory away from Main Event Jey! But while Punk celebrates, here comes Seth Rollins & The Vision! Bron Breakker breaks out of the pack to SPEAR Jey Uso!! Bron tweaks, the fans bark, but Punk stands his ground. Bron grins, but he runs around the way to SPEAR Knight!! The Mega Star is down again and Bron kips right up! One man wiped out two contenders, but now he and Bronson are eyeing the number one! The fans still chant, “Seth is a Wanker!” as Rollins finally reaches ringside. Bronson storms in, he and Bron go after Punk! Punk fights 2v1 but he loses that numbers game!

The fans boo as Bron & Bronson mug Punk, then set him up for a SPEAR!!! Rollins smiles as he steps into the ring, and Bronson puts Punk in the drop zone. Bronson goes up, up, and TSUNAMI!! The fans boo but Rollins is loving it! Rollins stands over Punk with the world title, and tells Punk that he will NEVER be World Heavyweight champion again! Rollins is the King of WWE! This is HIS title, this is HIS ring, this is HIS company! Punk is a dead man! But the fans say Seth is still a wanker. Punk wants Bron & Bronson to get rid of the trash, and Bron drags Punk out of the ring. Rollins talks more trash on Punk, then stands with his guys.

The Vision stands tall, world title in Rollins’ hand. The fans sing, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” for Rollins as he gloats on and on. But then BRON SPEARS ROLLINS!!! Heyman is shocked and yet the fans are loving it! Why would Bron do this to Rollins!? Rollins sputters and coughs, but what about Bronson? The Badass and Auszilla stare down, and Bron says they can do this one of two ways. So Bronson drags Rollins to the drop zone!! TSUNAMI ON ROLLINS!! Heyman is freaking out over this mutiny, but Perth is thunderous! Bron tells Heyman that HE can do this one of two ways. What does The Oracle say?

Bron snatches the title away from Rollins, and Heyman raises Bron’s hand in victory! The Vision is NO LONGER Rollins’, because the undisputed future wants to be the now! But what will happen now that Bron is leading the pack?

My Thoughts:

An awesome Raw to follow up a great Crown Jewel, and what a wild way to move things forward from Rollins winning the Men’s Crown Jewel Championship. To be fair, that opening promo of his made me think they were going to turn on him right there, but then they got through that and the promo of Rollins sharing his appreciation and pride in them, and only then does Bron decide to absolutely destroy him. Perhaps Rollins’ arm took more damage than we thought? But great Triple Threat from Punk, Knight and Jey, and Punk winning here was a bit of a surprise, I really thought Knight was winning this, with the expectation of losing again at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

But instead it’s Punk, and now with Vision turning on Rollins, who knows if that complicates the title situation, this is quite intrigue. Same goes for how Jey and Jimmy are at odds because Jey wants the world title that badly. Yes, he still helped Jimmy, but he was telling Jimmy himself that Jimmy’s gotta get better at doing things on his own if Jey’s to do things on his own. We might end up with Jimmy and Jey fighting to give them a do-over on the Uso VS Uso match at WrestleMania a couple years ago that didn’t work out like they wanted.

Everything else from tonight was also amazing stuff, and next week’s Raw is really stacked for it. Dom VS Penta was great, but Rusev costing Penta should’ve been expected. Dom gloating about it getting Finn & JD dragged into a match is great, Styles & Dragon Lee VS Finn & JD is going to be a great match, but I don’t see a title change happening. Becky VS Maxxine was announced, that’ll be a great match but again, I don’t see a title change yet. Bayley & Lyra had a great promo together, and a great match with Roxie & Raquel. I love that Lyra found a way to use Bayley’s rage to their advantage, and Bayley going off on Raquel & Roxie was great. I still want to see this Bayley interact with Charlotte and Alexa, to of her better rivals.

Roxie & Raquel trying to ruin Stephanie’s moment was a little surprising, but whether it’s Vaquer VS Roxie or Vaquer VS Raquel, we’re gonna get great stuff for the title. And then so much of this Kabuki Warrior story continues to be amazing. You could hear the fans reacting to Asuka slapping Kairi, that’s proof this story is not just working, but that it’s perhaps the best thing going. Rhea VS Kairi was a great match, and a great win for Rhea. But Kairi and Asuka standing tall after definitely means we’re getting another tag match. And while both Rhea VS Asuka and Iyo VS Asuka are going to be great matches, the best moment will be Kairi finally standing up to Asuka, the fans will go nuts for that.

My Score: 8.9/10
