WWE mourns the loss of “Mo,” Robert Lawrence Horne.
Adam Pearce is in the ring.
The Raw General Manager welcomes Sacramento to Monday Night Raw, and he brings up last week. He is here to provide a physical update on Seth Rollins, but seeing a car pull up into the back cuts him off. And though the World Heavyweight Championship is visible, that’s not Seth Rollins, that’s BRON BREAKKER! The fans either boo or bark as the Badass leads Auszilla and The Oracle into the arena! The Vision, if that’s even who they are without The Visionary, make their entrance. Lilian Garcia gives the introductions as Bron, Bronson & Heyman head for the ring. They step inside and Pearce says this is a good thing.
Pearce wants everyone to hear this directly from here. Pearce knew Rollins was banged up coming out of the classic with Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel. But we won’t know how badly because of what Bron & Bronson did. Here’s some news: What they did forced Rollins to have major surgery; what they did forced Rollins to stay home for quite while; what they did forced Pearce to announce that as of right now, he must hereby STRIP Rollins of the World Heavyweight Championship. Fans are torn but Bron has a big smile on his face. Pearce says don’t get too caught up on that, we will crown a NEW World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event!
Oh, and since CM Punk won the #1 contender’s match last week, he still gets his part in that match. But who he faces will be decided the old fashioned way! An Over-the-Top Battle Royal, the winner facing Punk, and the winner in Salt Lake City becomes THE World Heavyweight Champion. And where does that battle royal take place? TONIGHT IN SACRAMENTO! The fans cheer that! Now, the title no longer belongs to Rollins, and it sure as hell doesn’t belong to Bron, so he needs to hand it over. Bron chuckles, and Heyman hands him a mic. Bron says, “And what if I don’t?” Pearce steps forward but Heyman says hold on.
Heyman takes Bron aside to talk this over. Bron says he was just asking an honest question. Bron wants some respect! Peaerce says okay, fine. “Bron, respectfully, I’m gonna need you to hand over the championship. Respectfully.” Bron chuckles again, and while fans chant for “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” Bron leans in and tells Pearce to say “please.” Pearce sighs, and manages to say, “Bron, respectfully, I’m gonna need you to hand over the World Heavyweight Championship now… please.” Bron grins, the fans boo, but he says, “That wasn’t so hard, was it?” Bron hands the belt over to Heyman, who then hands it to Pearce.
Pearce leaves with gold in hand, and Heyman has the mic now to say, “Before we move on with the show, somebody smarten me up to this. Why is everyone so mad at us? I get it! Hey, I also watch Unreal, I understand, we’re the bad guys, we’re the villains, we’re the Heels. It’s easy to point at us and go ‘boo~!’ But what’d we do to deserve all that? I fail to understand. The Vision had nothing to do with Seth Freakin’ Rollins. I didn’t leave The Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, and betray my best friend, CM Punk, for Seth Freakin’ Rollins. I pulled that move at WrestleMania because Bron Breakker IS the future of WrestleMania!
“I pulled those moves at WrestleMania because deep in my heart, I always knew that Bronson Reed weas better than Roman Reigns! Bronson Reed proved that in Perth, Australia. It was Tribal Thief over Tribal Chief.” The fans chant for “O T C! O T C!” Heyman says he chose Vision over Bloodline. And there was Seth Rollins, pointing to the future with his one good arm. Seth Rollins couldn’t shoulder the responsibility to lead The Vision into the future. He’s not a visionary, not a revolutionary, he’s not the workhorse of the Shield, he’s not the leader of The Vision, “he’s a bum shoulder b*tch!” The fans boo that!
Heyman says they’re setting the record straight: Winners write history. These are winners! Rollins was no longer main eventing WrestleMania, that spot was taken by Bron. Heyman claims he is an “older, kinder, gentler Wise Man, Oracle, Advocate,” but Bron & Bronson conspired to take that aw ay from Seth Rollins! They pulled the trigger, they had the ambition, the need, the intensity, to become WrestleMania main eventers! The fans boo but Heyman says we’re not being revisionist, this is a revision of the future! Heyman thanks everyone for their indulgence, for affording him this time, and oh yeah, by the way… “Welcome to Monday Night Raw.”
Heyman drops the mic on that one, but is anyone going to stop Bron and Bronson from taking the golden ticket to the world title match here tonight?
Judgment Day meets in the clubhouse.
Raquel Rodriguez tells Roxanne Perez to focus. If she beats Stephanie Vaquer tonight, she has a claim to THE Women’s World Championship. Finn Balor says they all have their work cut out for them tonight, huh? Dominik Mysterio walks in and says what’s up, but Finn isn’t so happy. Dom asks what’s wrong. Is it because they’re in Sacramento? JD McDonagh says Dom just had to open his mouth, had to talk to Pearce. Now JD & Finn have to face Styles & Lee. Dom says he didn’t say anything, other than it’s not fair he’s the only champion defending his title week to week. They’re complaining about AJ & Dragon? Dom beat AJ twice already, Finn & JD can’t handle him?
Finn says of course they can! They’re the WWE World Tag Team Champions! They’ll handle Styles & Dragon like they do every team around here! JD says Dom will have to handle Rusev alone while JD & Finn clean up Dom’s mess. The Irish Ace & Prince head out, Roxie says Dom doesn’t need to worry. JD & Finn will be fine, Dom is still killing it as double champion, just as they want. Dom says yeah, thanks. Raquel says enough of this, focus up. Roxie has her own important match. Roxie knows that. But will tonight (not) be alright for The Judgment Day?

The Usos meet backstage.
Jimmy asks Jey if he’s supposed to acknowledge him now or something. Jey says he gets why Jimmy’s mad. What Jey said last week wasn’t right. Jey wasn’t mad at Jimmy, he was mad at himself for making the same mistakes in Paris. All he knows is, Big Uce Roman isn’t here tonight.

Because when they get in that ring tonight, Jimmy’s going in on everybody! And that includes Jey. Jey says okay, win it then. But are they good? Yeet.

The Kabuki Warriors speak.
Asuka says Rhea Ripley got what she deserved during the Japan tour. Remember who ruined your trip home! It was Asuka! Kairi Sane applauds, and Asuka says they broke Iyo’s spirit and Rhea’s nose. Kairi says Rhea tore this family apart! So that’s why she has to pay! Asuka shouts at Kairi, but with good news. Kairi showed she’s finally got what it takes. Kairi showed she can be ruthless, just like Asuka, and that’s exactly what they will be! They will need a new challenge, though. They need gold around their waists again. This is a warning to the entire Women’s Tag Division! The Kabuki Warriors are back! Will no one be ready for Asuka & Kairi?
Paul Heyman impatiently waits outside Adam Pearce’s office.
Pearce mockingly asks “Pauly” where he’s been, it’s been like 45 minutes. Heyman says very funny. Pearce says he just had production change a graphic. Oh, wow, a graphic change? Really? Does Pearce understand what kind of week Heyman’s had? Uh, does Heyman understand what kind of man Pearce is? But this graphic pertains to Heyman specifically. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed had to come off the graphic for the battle royal. W-Why? Because Bron & Bronson are officially out of the battle royal. And Pearce is sure Heyman will want them back in the battle royal. But tell you what: SAY PLEASE.
Heyman sighs and asks, “Mr. Pearce, sir, if you would please take it into your kind consideration to put Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed back into the battle royal, please.” Now, that wasn’t so hard, was it? Yes, Heyman enjoyed it. And he enjoys doing business with Pearce. Pearce says okay. He will consider it. The answer is NO! And then he SLAMS the door in Heyman’s face. Heyman sarcastically says this day is just getting better and better. Then he turns around and sees Becky! Hi, Becky… Becky steps closer, and he says he understands how she must feel. Heyman had no choice in the matter. Bron & Bronson conspired against Seth because of the injured shoulder.
Heyman, however, got down on his hands and knees and he got in between them all. Heyman put himself in physical jeopardy, until that jeopardy was reality and he had no choice. Becky is the breadwinner in the family now, and what is the number one rule about feeding their children? Survive the day. Heyman survived last week. Unfortunately, Rollins did not. Heyman is sorry about that, but there is still a Vision that includes The Man. And then it is win-win! She can have her hot house husband, and an adorable Oracle on the road. No need for an answer right now, just think about it. Becky grabs him by the tie and pulls him in close!
“Listen to me, you penguin faced pr*ck. Your snake oil salesman crap doesn’t work on me, okay? I don’t like you, I have never liked you, I have never trusted you, but neither did my husband. But unlike the people whose coattails you’ve rode on, he didn’t need you, he used you. He knew that you were gonna turn on him. He was actually a little surprised it took you so long. But don’t worry. When he comes back, he’s not gonna hurt you. You’re nothing to him, okay? And you’ll be nothing without him. But all the people that you love in this business, all the people you surround yourself with, whatever new nepo baby you decide to attach yourself to…
“He’s gonna kill them. But he’s not gonna kill you. You’re just gonna wish that he had.” Becky leaves Heyman with that to dwell on, but when and where will The Visionary become the Architect of Heyman’s demise?
Stephanie Vaquer VS Roxanne Perez w/ Raquel Rodriguez!
La Primera is truly La Primera as she is the WWE Women’s World Champion AND 2025 Women’s Crown Jewel Champion! But The Prodigy still thinks she can be better than the best, and looks to prove it here tonight. Will Roxie win herself a shortcut to the top? Or will Vaquer be nigh unstoppable now?
Raw returns and Roxie makes her entrance, Raquel by her side. The bell rings and the fans rally for Vaquer as she and Roxie circle. They approach, but Roxie dodges and taunts Vaquer.

Roxie pulls hair again but Vaquer pushes on the wristlock. Roxie rolls, rolls, and rolls until she’s free. The fans boo but the two reset.
Vaquer calls a knuckle lock, Roxie obliges, and they tie up. Vaquer stands on Roxie’s hand, twists the other arm, and has the motorcycle stretch. Roxie turns but Vaquer UP KKICKS! Roxie rebounds, Vaquer trips her and covers, ONE! Vaquer has the arm again, but Roxie KNEES low! Roxie waistlocks, SLAMS Vaquer, and she taunts the fans.

Adam Pearce talks with Lyra Valkyria.
The Raw GM and Morrigan are both happy about that victory Lyra & Bayley had over Judgment Day. Lyra says she and Bayley are making a great team, but Lyra has goals of her own. When you get right down to it, she and Bayley are very different people. For example- Bayley walks in and cheers Lyra on. Bayley says hey to Pearce, and says they’ll talk later. But Lyra, Bayley feels great! She hasn’t slept since last week’s big tag team win. It felt so good! Lyra admits, it did, but- But Bayley wants to talk first, she has an idea. Maybe more a surprise. She knows Lyra’s birthday is coming up so she just wanted to do something great for Lyra.
Lyra says Bayley didn’t have to, but the real surprise would be Bayley telling Lyra what she’s going to do. No, then it wouldn’t be a surprise! Just wait. Next week, though, okay? Okay? Okay! See you later! Lyra is worried, but will Bayley surprise Lyra by having something thoughtful for her?
Bron & Bronson grumble in the private suite.
They both are upset they’re now not in the battle royal. Maybe they go to Pearce’s office, leave him laying, and steal his shoes. Bronson likes that idea. Heyman walks in, says hey, and Bron says he is having a hard time understanding. They came here with the world title. It was taken from them. And now, they don’t even have a spot in the battle royal to get back what belongs to them? Please, please, please, help them understand. Heyman smiles and says there was this rookie in 2002. The rookie’s name: Brock Lesnar. Lesnar could’ve eaten through the entire roster his very first night, but he didn’t, because he listened to Heyman.
And within five MONTHS, Lesnar was up against The Rock, who he beat for the title. Then, there was this “Best in the World” rebel in 2012 who was such a pain in the ass backstage that they were gonna throw him out the door as a champion after 100 days. But that punk listened to Heyman, and he got 434 days instead. How many WrestleMania main events did “Big Dog” Roman get? Who remembers the Big Dog at all? But Roman Reigns listened to Heyman, and everyone remembers the reign of The Tribal Chief. It is not just about who you can slaughter. It is about the backstage maneuverings and the politics that come with it.
Heyman asks if they wanna see the vision of the future of the WWE, then the two can just look in the mirror. That’s the future. Bron says yeah, guess they’ve got a lot to learn. But also a lot of people to hurt. Bronson agrees on both counts. Will both men stay patient as things unfold?
Stephanie Vaquer and Nikki Bella regroup backstage.
Vaquer thanks Nikki for the save out there. Roxie & Raquel will never beat Vaquer, they couldn’t take it. Nikki knows, she wasn’t gonna let sore losers jump people. Nikki just wants to say that she is very proud of Vaquer. Vaquer’s only been here for a few months, but she took the division by storm, and taken the division tot he next level. Now she’s champion! Being a former champion and being Vaquer’s friend, Nikki just wants her to know that puts a target on your back. Everything changes once you’re a champ. Be cautious, anyone can take you out. Nikki wishes back when she was a champ that someone was watching after her.
Vaquer says she owes Nikki, Nikki thanks her, and funny she says that… Because Nikki is sure she just made some enemies, and now she might need to take Vaquer up on that sooner than later. Vaquer says Nikki has her back, she’ll have Nikki’s. The two hug it out, will they both need each other to take on Raquel & Roxie?
The Usos are in the concourse!
Sacramento is all fired up as Jey asks them to please, please, play his music! Oh yeah, uh uh, YEET! The Usos enter together but it might come down to Uso VS Uso in the end. Will this battle royal belong to YEET? Or will someone else be meeting CM Punk in Salt Lake City?
WWE World Heavyweight Championship #1 Contender’s Battle Royal!
The Usos are joined by Sheamus, and surely the Celtic Warrior is gonna make this one a banger! But will he make himself a contender? We find out, after the break.
Raw returns and now we have Kofi Kingston, Grayson Waller, Ivar, Akira Tozawa, the returning Otis, Rusev, Dominik, Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, and the NEW World Tag Team Champions, AJ Styles & Dragon Lee. But wait, El Grande Americano is also here! Then PENTA makes his entrance and the fans fire up for “CERO! MIEDO!” Last but not least, it’s L A KNIGHT, YEAH! The fans fire up again, but wait! CM PUNK is here! He’s not joining the battle royal, but he does want to see who he will face in Salt Lake City on November 1st. The fans sing along with Cult of Personality and join Punk in saying, “It’s CLOBBERIN’ Time~!”
Punk joins commentary for this, and the bell rings. The brawl is on as Americano goes right after Sheamus, and the rest seem to swarm on Otis and Ivar! Otis and Ivar EXPLODE out, and they fire LARIATS on each other! The others brawl it out, Ivar cartwheels to dodge but Otis LARIATS him! Otis LARIATS Dom, ELBOWS Kofi, DECKS JD, and FLAPJACKS Waller! Then he scoops Kofi to POWERSLAM him! Then he SPLASHES Waller in a corner! Waller falls, and the fans fire up as Otis rips his shirt off! “This is Awesome!” but then Rusev gets in Otis’ face! They fire hands, Rusev KNEES low, and ROUNDHOUSES Otis!
Otis stays up, Rusev ROUNDHOUSEES again! But then Otis CLOBBERS Rusev! And LARIATS! Otis then runs up, but Rusev DUMPS him out and ELIMINATES him! The fans boo but Tozawa winds up! Tozawa CHOPS, but Rusev isn’t bothered! Tozawa rips his shirt off now, but Rusev BOOTS him down! Rusev TOSSES Tozawa and ELIMINATES him! Rusev then fires hands with Penta for their grudge! Rusev ROCKS Penta, Jey fights off JD, and Rusev stomps a mudhole into Penta. Americano and Dragon brawl in a corner, Dragon clings to ropes, but Finn goes after Americano. Finn also goes after Dragon for the tag title match earlier.
Dom avoids being thrown out, so Jimmy fires hands with Finn. Jey goes after Finn, they brawl, but Dragon hits Finn & JD! Jimmy has Dom up but Dom fires elbows! Dragon is on the apron, he RAMS Finn and GAMANGIRIS JD! Then he springboards, but Finn & JD SHOVE him down to ELIMINATE him! The fans boo but that’s payback for the tag titles. Penta ENZIGIRIS Rusev to the apron! Rusev fights back, JD sits Styles down, but Penta goes up and out after Rusev! The fans fire up as Rusev suplexes! Penta fights free, ENZIGIRIS again, but Dom BLASTS them both! DOUBLE ELIMINATION for the Double Champion!
Dom taunts Rusev and Penta while the fans go wild, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again as Jimmy dodges Ivar in the corner. Jimmy runs up, but into a SEATED SENTON! Styles DROPKICKS Ivar, but then Ivar SEATED SENTONS him, too! The fans fire up for Ivar as he and Sheamus now meet. The forearms fly and the fans fire up again! Ivar runs, but Sheamus mule kicks! Sheamus fireman’s carries, but Ivar is too much to lift! Ivar CLUBS Sheamus, runs up, but Sheamus DUMPS Ivar out! Ivar lands safe on the apron! Ivar scoops Sheamus?! Sheamus slips free to KNEECAPPER! And then he fireman’s carries after all!? APRON WHITE NOISE!! Ivar falls, Sheamus ELIMINATES him!
The fans fire up for Sheamus as he gets back in the ring. Dom fires hands on Kofi, Americano tries to dump Jey out, but Jimmy ROCKS Americano first! Americano throat chops him for it! And he reaches into his singlet for the metal plate! The mask is now loaded, and Americano turns around. Jey throws a haymaker, but that hurts his hand! The same as Jimmy punches! The fans boo but Americano runs, into a ONE AND DONE!! The plate now backfires, and the Usos TOSS Americano out to ELIMINATE him! The fans cheer as the field is thinning out. Dom runs, but into an IRISH CURSE BACKBREAKER!
Sheamus drags Dom up, scoops him, but JD & Finn save Dom! The Judgment Day mugs Sheamus, “This is Awesome!” as Styles rushes up to fire hands on JD & Finn! Finn & JD mug him in return, then work to dump him out! Styles clings to the ropes, Sheamus DUMPS and ELIMINATES JD! Finn stays safe, but not really as Sheamus has him for BEATS OF THE BODHRAIN! Sheamus goes all the way to TEN, SHOVES Finn down, and ELIMINATES him! JD is back up, but Sheamus gives him BEATS OF THE BODHRAIN! Finn drags Sheamus over, Kofi DUMPS Sheamus out and ELIMINATES him!
The fans boo but Sheamus is just as mad! He fires off on Finn & JD! Refs hurry over to get them all out of here, and Styles TOSSES Dom out to ELIMINATE him! But wait, no refs to call it, so Dom can slide back in! Dom TOSSES Styles to the apron! Styles fights off Dom, gets in the ring, NO eliminations here! Dom gets to stay in the match while Raw goes back to break.
Raw returns once more and while Kofi is after Styles in a corner, Jimmy throws hands on Knight, and Jey tries to shove Dom out. They are our final six as the fans rally up. Dom fights free, then he fires hands on Jey. Kofi TOSSES Styles, but Styles skins the cat back in! Kofi runs up, Styles BOOTS him! Styles CHOPS Kofi, Knight bumps Jimmy off buckles, and Jey bumps Dom off other buckles. The fans rally, Styles whips Kofi to a corner, and Styles runs up, but into a SWING KICK! Kofi goes up, up, and AX- NO, Styles dodges the ax handle! Styles waistlocks, Kofi ELBOWS him, and Kofi runs up to MONKEY FLIP Styles away!
Knight fights Jimmy off with elbows, Kofi runs up on Styles, but Styles DUMPS Kofi out! Kofi stays on the apron, RAMS Styles, and slingshots, but into a fireman’s carry! And then Styles DUMPS Kofi onto the top rope! Kofi gets stuck, Styles BLASTS him down and ELIMINATES him! The fans fire up again, and now Knight throws hands on Jimmy, “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight whips, Jimmy reverses, but Knight KICKS back! Knight runs up, Jimmy fireman’s carries, but Knight slips free to REVERSE DDT! Knight rolls back, goes up the corner, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!” BOX JUMP ELBOW DROP OVER STYLES to hit Jimmy!
The fans fire up but Styles storms up! Knight goes for BFT but Styles denies it! Styles kicks, reels Knight in, but Knight flails and kicks free of the Clash! Knight trips Styles, turns him around, REVERSE CRAB! Jey SUPERKICKS Dom, Punk pokes fun at Knight using a submission in a battle royal, but then Jey SUPERKICKS Knight! Jey sees Knight on the ropes, he runs up, but Knight DUMPS JEy out! Jey says on the apron, ROCKS Knight, but Knight ROCKS him back! “YEET!” “YEAH!” and repeat as the shots go back and forth! Knight ROCKS Jey again, and again, and again! Jey wobbles, dangles, but he holds onto the ropes!
Jimmy SUPERKICKS Knight! Jimmy helps his brother back into the ring, the fans cheer, but Styles springboards in! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS hit first! Jimmy TOSSES Styles to ELIMINATE him! Knight runs up, Jimmy dodges, but then Knight deflects the kick! Torture rack, but Jimmy fights free! Jimmy runs up to LARIAT Knight! They both end up in the ropes! Jey is conflicted, but he SHOVES Knight and Jimmy out to DOUBLE ELIMINATE them!! Now it’s just Jey and Dom! The fans fire up as Dom slithers around. Jey and Jimmy stare down, but they did say it was every Uce for themselves. But Dom runs up to DROPKICK Jey onto ropes!
Dom dials it up, but Jey TOSSES Dom up and out! JEY WINS!!
Winner: Jey Uso (advances to Saturday Night’s Main Event)
Jimmy is frustrated, and even Punk points out how Jey threw his brother away to get this win. If Jey’s that cutthroat, then Punk’s got his work cut out for him in Salt Lake. Will Saturday Night’s Main Event Jey Uso become the NEW WWE World Heavyweight Champion? Or will CM Punk prove he is still the Best in the World?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Raw as a return to the US but also to head for the Saturday Night’s Main Event. As many had guessed, last week’s attack was to help write Rollins off for a time, as well as vacate the title. Great stuff with Pearce and the Vision, and I like that Pearce stood up to them by banning them from the battle royal. Equally great promo from Heyman with Becky as she promises Rollins will have his revenge, and another great promo with Heyman keeping Bron & Bronson calm by telling them to be patient. I almost thought they were going to “ruin” the battle royal, but no, they behaved themselves and are surely going to wait and see who wins at SNME.
The battle royal needing some guys to pull double duty was interesting, but I suppose they couldn’t call in some SmackDown talent last minute, so they had no choice. It did also help give us some fresher interactions, like Sheamus returning to eliminate Judgment Day and then brawl with them. Good to see Otis back, but Alpha Academy being eliminated by Rusev is a great revisit to their feud earlier this year. Jey and Jimmy had a very good promo before the match to set it straight: every Uce for themselves, even though Jimmy did do more saves for Jey than Jey did Jimmy. But Jey winning out made a lot of sense, Jey’s Heel-ish turn is some great stuff, and Jey VS Punk will be a great match.
Styles & Dragon VS Finn & JD was an awesome tag match, one of the best matches any of these guys have had all year. I was genuinely surprised that Styles & Dragon won, but it is certainly the right move. This adds tension within the Judgment Day and gives the Raw Tag Division a fresh coat of paint. Kofi interacting with Styles in the battle royal, I could see New Day getting over their mourning to challenge Styles & Dragon. Dom VS Rusev was really good, and of course Dom cheated to win. If anything, the cheating is ironically the best part of the match because Dom is showing some ingenuity. I still think we need a Triple Threat of Dom VS Rusev VS Penta to settle this.
And then great things from the Women’s Division tonight, such great stories up and down the card. Great promo from The Kabuki Warriors to help address Rhea’s broken nose, which will of course keep Rhea out of action for just a moment. Kabuki Warriors calling out the tag division, I wouldn’t mind seeing them find their way to challenging Charlotte & Alexa. #Charlexa has gotten past a bit of their dysfunction by this point, Asuka & Kairi are starting on that path with how Asuka is controlling and abusive, and the match would be great stuff either way.
Bayley teasing a “great surprise” for Lyra is interesting, but it might also relate to a tag title opportunity, even though Lyra was implying she wanted to move up to the world title. Lyra might upset Bayley by saying that, and then Lyra has to fight the Three Faces of Bayley or however they choose to do it. Vaquer VS Roxie was a great match, and a great win for Vaquer. Nikki showing up for the save was a good surprise, and I almost thought she was going to use her friendship to get a world title match out of Vaquer. Maybe that happens after they have whatever tag match with Roxie & Raquel. Becky VS Maxxine was a great revisit of their previous match, and Maxxine still got to look great in front of her hometown. But in the end, Becky of course won out so that the gold goes hand in hand with her intimidating Heyman and vowing that the Power Couple will have their vengeance.
My Score: 9/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Rhea Ripley AND Iyo Sky are here!
Albany, New York fires up as Mami & The Genius are both here on SmackDown following the chaos on Raw. Because at Survivor Series, Rhea said it herself: WARGAMES! Rhea & Iyo each get a mic and the fans cheer them both on. Rhea says, “Since I’ve been out with a broken nose, the Kabuki Warriors, they’ve been causing a little bit of chaos. And now that they’ve managed to get their hands on the Tag Team Championships, they think they’re pretty much untouchable.” The fans boo, but then Rhea says throw Nia Jax & Lash Legend into the mix, which the fans boo also… “And now they think they are untouchable again because they have the ‘numbers advantage.'”
But the funny thing about numbers is you just end up with more enemies. Iyo says, “A lot of enemies. But they always catch up to you. And now, there is nowhere to hide! WARGAAAMES~!” The fans cheer as Iyo & Rhea go wild for that. Rhea says, “And y’know what? We’re not going in alone. So I would like to introduce two of our teammates: Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss!” The fans cheer as the former tag team champions make their way out to the ring, Charlotte in a modern art suit with her pyro, and then followed by Alexa in her goth preppy fusion. #Charlexa stands with Rhea & Iyo in the ring, mics also in hand.
The four hug it out and the fans “WOO~!” Alexa says if the Kabukis wanna play dirty, fine. If Nia & Lash wanna jump in, too, great! And they can get all four at once, it is so on! Those four started this fight, these four will end it! The very second Rhea said, “WarGames,” Alexa knew they were in. Right, Charlotte? The fans “WOO~!” and Charlotte says, “Lexi, I can’t do this. I can’t pretend anymore.” What? “Look, Rhea. I don’t like you.” The fans boo and Iyo is shocked. Charlotte says she doesn’t trust Rhea, and she thinks Rhea is a snake. But Rhea doesn’t like or trust Charlotte and probably thinks she’s the snake, and Charlotte doesn’t blame her.
There is too much history here, too much bad blood. Just because they have the same enemies doesn’t change that. Charlotte cannot look past it. Alexa is Charlotte’s friend, she trusts Alexa. So if Alexa wants to do this, that’s fine. But count Charlotte out. What!? The fans boo as The Queen steps away, but Alexa calls after her. Charlotte goes up the ramp, Alexa apologizes to the others and tries to figure out why Charlotte did this. Can Alexa get Charlotte to change her mind before it’s time to go to war?
Jey Uso is in the concourse!
And he asks them to please, please, play his music! UH UH, YEET!! The fans fire up and bounces along as Main Event Jey Uso makes his entrance, ready for The Last Time Is Now! But will it be Albany, New YEET? Or will the Hollywood A-Lister put all that fire from last week to good use?
The Last Time is Now Tournament Opening Round: Jey Uso VS The Miz!
SmackDown returns and the fans continue to YEET, and then they want the encore! But instead, The Miz makes his entrance. The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, but Miz KNEES low! Miz CLUBS Jey, then talks some trash. The fans rally for Jey but Miz brings Jey around. Jey blocks the buckle bump to fire off haymakers, “YEET! YEET! YEET!” Jey whips, Miz reverses, and Miz hits a kitchen sink KNEE! The fans boo but Miz soaks up the heat. Jey goes to ropes, Miz storms up on him, and Miz fires haymakers of his own! Miz soaks up more heat as he backs p, then he runs in, but Jey turns lariat into backslide! TWO!
The fans fire up as Jey stands, but Miz blocks a kick! Miz spins Jey, the DRAGON WHIP hits! Miz ends up on the apron, but he slides under Jey to sunset flip! TWO, and Miz catches Jey now! Jey fights the Finale with ama r-drag, but Miz avoids the superkick! So Jey LARIATS Miz up and out! The fans fire up and “YEET!” Jey builds speed and DIVDSE! Miz is send into the desk! Albany fires up while Jey snarls and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and Miz stalks Jey. The tide has turned and Miz storms up, but Jey ELBOWS him away! Jey goes up, but Miz kicks the legs out! DRAPING CODE BREAKER! Then a DDT! Jey gets spiked! Miz covers, TWO! Jey survives and Miz is stunned! Miz snarls as Jey sits up, and then Miz KICKS! And KICKS! And KICKS! The fans say “YES! YES! YES!” to the It Kicks, and Miz winds up, only for Jey to duck the buzzsaw! POP-UP NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Miz survives and crawls to a corner while Jey shakes his head. The fans rally as Jey goes to the other corner. “UCE! OH! UCE! OH!” Jey runs up, but Miz dodges!
Miz runs up and SHOULDER TAKCKLES! And SHOULDER TACKLES! Miz parodies John Cena with the SPIN-OUT BOMB! The fans fire up as Miz says when his hand goes up, your mouths go shut. “You Can’t See Me!” FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE! The fans are torn as Miz now fireman’s carries Jey! But Jey fights free, shoves Miz, SUPERKICK! Then a fireman’s carry in return! Miz slips free, SKULL CRUSHING FINALE!! Cover, TWO!?! Jey survives and everyone is shocked, especially Miz! Jey flounders, stands, and goes to a corner. Albany is thunderous for Jey but Miz storms right up on him.
Miz puts Jey up top, then climbs up after him! Miz full nelsons again! But Jey fires elbows! Then he fireman’s carries Miz! The fans are thunderous as Jey hits a TOP ROPE RACK DROP! Then he gest moving, SPEAR!! Jey doesn’t stop there, he goes up the corner again! USO SPLASH!! Cover, JEY WINS!
Winner: Jey Uso, by pinfall (advances to the next round)
Albany YEETS again as Jey stays alive in the tournament! But who else will join him, Sheamus, and Rusev on the road to Washington, DC?
Ilja Dragunov talks with Nick Aldis.
The Mad Russian Dragon is glad he gets to have another Open Challenge, but then in walks Tommaso Ciampa. The Sicilian Psycho hopes Aldis is explaining to “our so-called fighting champion” how to respect the rules of an Open Challenge. Aldis says the champion has every right to dictate the rules how he sees fit, but Johnny Gargano asks if Ilja has the right to call his best friend a jackass. Candice LeRae asks if Ciampa looks like a jackass! Enough with calling him a jackass! The only jackass here is Ilja denying the one man answering the challenges! Make it make sense! Well, they were just discussing this, so listen very carefully!
When Ilja took on the legacy of the United States Open Challenge, Ilja promised to do things the right way. And the right way mean sto not give opportunities to… jackasses! But to fight warriors who are willing to fight with respect and honor. And there is nothing honorable about Ciampa. So tonight, Ilja will give this opportunity to a man who fights with honor, and someone Ilja respects. Oh no, seriously?! AXIOM steps in! Ciampa accuses Ilja of cowardice, but Axiom thanks Ilja for this opportunity. Aldis wishes them both the best of luck, then moves on, only for Paul Heyman and Bronson Reed to be waiting outside his office.
Heyman smiles, a big contract folder in hand, and he asks Aldis, “How’re you doing? We need to talk to you for a minute.” Aldis says please, step inside. These three go into the office to talk, but what exactly about?
SmackDown returns and…
Aldis calls in extra security for his office. He tells Heyman that before The Vision is escorted from the building, what can he do for them? Heyman says that’s awfully dramatic, Aldis. But this is the WarGames agreement, which allows Heyman to “take any talent that is under WWE contract across all brands. Tha tincludes SmackDown, your brand. My heads-up to you, you’re welcome.” Any talent across all brands? Yes, thank you for coming all the way to Albany to confirm what was already in the paperwork. This could’ve been an email, Heyman. So unless there’s anything else to discuss, he would like to ask them kindly to leave. Because The Vision will NOT be disrupting Aldis’ show.
And security steps in on cue. Heyman says oh goodness, look who it is! Cody Rhodes steps in, and Heyman says, “It’s the golden goose who’s being afforded all this protection.” Cody asks, “Mr. Heyman, what do you wanna talk about?” Heyman wants to talk about Cody getting involved with Vision business on Raw. Cody doesn’t know about this golden goose stuff, but he saw on Raw that they were putting his friends in the fire, which means he was next through the flames, but Heyman already knew that. But this is Friday Night SmackDown, and the business of today… is right here. “And if you’re not here to fight, then you should leave.”
Bronson says he’ll fight. Cody asks Aldis to make the match: Bronson Reed VS Cody Rhodes… TONIGHT! Aldis says that works, but Heyman asks why they’d give this away and not make it a title match? Cody says fine, book it. Aldis gets worried now, but Cody says, “BOOK IT!” Then it is official. Cody VS Bronson for the Undisputed Championship. Heyman smiles and thanks both Mr. Aldis and “Champ” Cody. Did Cody just get goaded into losing the gold? Or will the American Nightmare find a way to slay the Colossal Aussie?
WWE Untied States Open Challenge: Ilja Dragunov VS Axiom!
Speaking of titles, The Czar didn’t appreciate the Sicilian Psycho getting salty all over again, so he again passed on Ciampa to face Axiom. But will Ilja be able to deny the Undeniable Truth? Or will Axiom finally have singles gold on SmackDown?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. They feel things out, Axiom rolls to wrench and wrangle Ilja. Axiom has the armlock but Ilja fights up. Ilja wrenches in return, then cording holds for a HIP TOSS! Cover, ONE, but Ilja holds onto the arm. Axiom kips up, slips around, and spins Ilja to snapmare and headlock. Ilja slips out to armlock in return and the fans cheer the technical exchange. Ilja knuckle locks to straight arm lever and SLAM Axiom! Axiom fights up but Ilja wrenches him again. Ilja whips Axiom to a corner, but Axiom dodges the lariat! Axiom waits on Ilja and he says it was that close. Ilja and Axiom reset, knuckle lock, and Axioim headlocks.
Axiom hits the takeover but Ilja keeps his shoulders up. Ilja CLUBS at Axiom from below, then fights up. Ilja powers up and out, Axiom RAMS him, but Ilja RUNS Axiom over! Cover, ONE, and Ijoa gets moving! Axiom trips Ilja up, but Ilja blocks the hip toss! Ilja slips through but Axiom fights the backslide! The fans rally as the two fight for control, and then they spin around. Ilja ROCKS Axiom with a forearm! Axiom ROCKS Ilja! Ilja BOOTS Axiom down! The fans rally, but Axiom catches the hammer into the ARMBAR! Ilja fights to stack, and he deadlifts Axiom! Axiom lets go, but Ilja ducks the enzigiri to SLAP Axiom down!
The fans rally and Axiom dodges to then DROPKICK back! Ilja staggers, Axiom GAMANGIRIS him up and out! The fans fire up while Ilja sputters, and Axiom takes aim. Axiom runs, GOLDEN- NO! Ilja stops the triangle moonsault as he CLUBS Axiom on the back! Axiom is stuck up top, Ilja CHOPS him! Axiom kicks at Ilja, Ilja CHOPS, and repeat! The fans rally as these two brawl on the apron. Ilja HEADBUTTS Axiom right back into the ring! Then Ilja climbs, aims, and SUPER SENTONS! Cover, TWO! Axiom survives, Ilja is a bit surprised, and SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Ilja snarls as he rises up, and he paces around Axiom. Axiom slowly sits up, Ilja fires up, but he turns around into a CHOP from Axiom! So Ilja CHOPS Axiom right off his feet! Cover, TWO! Ilja keeps close and brings Axiom up to CHOP again! And again! And then HEADBUTT! And CHOP! HEADBUTT! CHOP! Ilja then reels Axiomi in for a BIG suplex! Cover, TWO! Ilja still keeps axiom down with a facelock. Axiom endures, fights around, and he wrenches out to headlock back. Axiom waistlocks, Ilja bucks the O’Conner, but axiom kips up, into a CHOP! Cover, TWO! Axiom survives again but Ilja stays focused.
Ilja puts Axiom in a corenr, CHOPS him, and Axiom flops against the ropes. Ilja drags Axiom back up, whips corner to corner, and Axiom hits hard! Ilja runs up to KNEE low, then he runs side to side to BOOT WASH Axiom right outta the ring! Ilja roars and the fans cheer. Ilja goes out to BOOT Axiom, then follows him around the way. They go back into the ring, Ilja brings Axiom around, and Ilja waistlocks, only for Axiom to fight the lift. Axiom switches, Ilja fights the lift, and Ilja wrenches out to HEADBUTT! And HEADBUTT! And then Gotch lift POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Axiom is toughing it out bu tIlja is not deterred.
Ilja clamps on with a rear bearhug and he squeezes tight, Axiom endures so Ilja ELBOWS him down! And ELBOWS again and again and again! Ilja just HAMMERS away on Axiom, then clamps back on with another bearhug. Axiom still endures, fights back to his feet, but Ilja GERMAN SUPLEXES! Ilja holds on, drags Axiom back up, and SmackDown returns to single picture. Fans chant for “One More Time!” and Ilja GERMAN SUPLEXES! Ilja still holds on, Albany wants another, so Ilja drags Axiom up. Axiom switches, but Ilja again bucks the O’Conner! Axiom kips up, but he ducks the chop to NORTHERN LIGHTS!
The fans cheer while both men are down! The fans rally as Ilja stands, and he swings, but Axiom CROSS COUNTERS! Ilja falls back, Axiom goes to a corner, but Ilja storms up. Axiom BOOTS Ilja down, hops up the corner, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Cover, TWO! Ilja survives and Axiom grows frustrated but the fans rally up. Axiom rises, Ilja roars to give him more, so Axiom KICKS! And KICKS! Ilja wants more so Axiom KICKS, KICKS, and KICKS! Ilja blocks to SLAP, ROCK, boxing elbows, and BOOT! Axiom falls and the fans fire up again! Ilja powers up, runs, CONSTANTINE- NO, Axiom catches him to an ARMBAR!
Ilja fights, ends up in a TRIANGLE HOLD, but he works to stack Axiom! Axiom fights that off, but Ilja deadlifts Axiom again! POWERBOMB! Axiom flounders, Ilja snarls, and Ilja aims from the corner. Ilja powers up, the fans rally, H-BOMB FOR- NO, Axiom uses that to spring up and MOONSAULT DDT!!! Cover, TWO!?! No one can believe what they saw, nor that Ilja survived! “This is Awesome!” as Axiom has Ilja in a corner. Axiom ROCKS and CHOPS and hoists Ilja up. Ilja fights back with SLAPS and Axiom staggers. But then Axiom GAMANGIRIS! Axiom goes up after Ilja, but Ilja fires RIDGE HAND CHOPS!
Ilja and Axiom go to the very top, but Axiom hits the SUPER DUPER SPANISH FLY!! And then GOLDEN RATI- NO!! TORPEDO MOSCOW!! AND H-BOMB FOREARM!! Cover, Ilja wins!!
Winner: Ilja Dragunov, by pinfall (still WWE United States Championship)
It was all in a blink of an eye, but Ilja snatches victory from the jaws of defeat! Another instant classic is under Ilja’s belt, and he shows respect to Axiom for giving him this fight. The fans cheer that, but who will be next to challenge The Mad Russian’s reign?
R-Truth meets with Nick Aldis.
Truth knows last week that it was a heavy load, and Truth’s load was lost in the shuffle, but he is imploring to Aldis as employee to boss, please put Truth in the John Cena tournament. Aldis tries to tell Truth again, but Truth says don’t worry, he shined up his (lottery) balls so they’ll look real nice on TV. All he asks is Aldis handles them with care. Aldis again tries to get it through to Truth but Truth says just take his balls. FINE! Aldis takes them, and then Chelsea Green walks in. She asks if she heard John Cena’s name dropped. She did. Then speaking of legends, she has no idea why SHE didn’t get pyro when she won the Women’s US Championship.
But putting a pin in that, when is her championship celebration happening tonight? Aldis goes to say it’s not but she says that’s right, he CANCELLED it! She’d all of it prepared and ready to go! But all will be forgiven if this “injustice system” that is WWE would just give her a celebration next week, with pyro. Yes, he can make that work. Just for right now, hold onto these for him. Aldis hands Chelsea the Truth balls, and Alba says they do look nice. But will The Hot Mess really get everything she demand- er, wants?
SmackDown shares footage from the break.
As Axiom was on his way back up the ramp, Tommaso Ciampa attacked him! The Psycho Killer took out all his anger out on Axiom, only for Frazer to chase him off! Ciampa is only showing everyone Ilja is right about him, but will Ciampa not stop until he gets his opportunity?
Sami Zayn is here!
The fans cheer and sing along with the song as #BigMatchSami heads to the ring. Sami gets a mic and asks, “How we doing tonight, Albany? We good?” The fans cheer, and they chant for “Sami! Sami!” Sami takes a moment before he says, “I gotta tell ya. Since I’ve come to SmackDown, there have been some extremely high highs, and some extremely low lows. As soon as I came over to SmackDown, the first thing I said I would do is I said I would beat Solo Sikoa for the United States Championship.” The fans cheer that, and Sami says he did do that! He got to do amazing things with that title, like wrestle John Cena in his last match on SmackDown!
Sami got to go toe-to-toe with the best talent SmackDown has to offer week in and week out. The fans cheer again, and Sami says that was all great. But he won’t lie, the last four weeks have been extremely challenging. he has had to watch from the sidelines, hurt and not medically cleared, as Solo & MFT run roughshod every single week! The fans boo, and Sami says he’s had to sit and watch, unable to do anything, while MFT attacked Sami’s friends, those Sami liked and respected. And Sami gets it, Aldis told him not to get involved, don’t get hurt, and so Sami did. He sat back week after week. But he is here to tell us that that ends TONIGHT!
The fans cheer and Sami continues by calling out Solo! He knows Solo has a problem with him, and he sure has a problem with Solo, so let’s deal with it face to face! Solo & MFT make their way out here, and Solo has a mic in hand. Solo tells Sami, “You really think you knwio who you are, huh? You think you know, but you don’t. I know the real Sami, I know the real you. Yeah. He’s pathetic, a liar, desperate, and when you’re desperate, you do desperate things, which makes you so damn selfish!” The fans boo, but Solo says Sami only cares about Sami! Sami doesn’t care about the guys in the back, or even the fans here in Albany.
The fans boo, but Solo says for himself, what he cares about is his family. Solo cares about the men standing behind him and their loyalties to him. Unlike Sami! Sami knows nothing about loyalty when it comes to family. In fact, watch who you’re talkinga bout before he gets in there and kicks Sami’s ass! Don’t forget, Sami, you’re still wounded. The fans boo as MFT now flanks the ring, and Solo says this can end very badly for Sami. Solo could drop Sami right here and now, but he won’t. He will wait until Sami is 100% and medically cleared. Then once that happens, understand this: Solo is coming after you!
The fans boo, but Sami says, “Well, the good news for you, Solo, is you’re not gonna have to wait very long. Because as of tonight, I am officially 100% medically cleared! So if you wanna do something about it, go ahead and do something about it right now!” Sami calls Solo’s bluff, so Solo takes off the jacket But then Sami says before that, Solo needs to know this: Sami didn’t come here alone. And just as he says that, Rey Fenix, Shinsuke Nakamura & Motor City Machine Guns all YANK MFT off the apron! The brawl is on and the fans fire up! Solo panics, Sami shrugs, and Solo takes a swing! Sami fires counter punches!
The fans fire up as Sami fires off on Solo in a corner! Sami stomps a mudhole, then he goes to the far corner! The fans fire up, but Talla gets Solo outta the ring! The fans boo but then JC Mateo CLOBBERS Sami! JC, Tama & Loa all mug Sami, but Sami’s friends get them! They TOSS the Guerrillas and even LARIAT Loa up and out! The fans fire up as now Fenix goes up, up, and TORNILLO CROSSBODIES MFT! Fenix regroups with Sami and friends! Will Sami and his team soon cut down Solo’s “Family Tree?”
Cody Rhodes prepares backstage.
Jey Uso says hey and Cody congratulates him on the win in the tournament. Jey says he just heard about Bronson’s title shot at Cody tonight. It might get a little slimy, so Jey’s got his back. Of course! Cody and Jey shake hands on that again, and then Jimmy Uso steps in. #BigJim says hey, Uce. Any time you can get your hands on The Vision sounds like a party to Jimmy, so count him in, too. They shake on that, and Jimmy says he spoke with Punk earlier. Count him in for WarGames, too! The three shake hands, The Usos head out, but will Cody be able to fire the first shot in that war? Or will a Tsunami end the reign of the American Nightmare?
Solo Sikoa argues with Nick Aldis backstage.
Solo demands that with Sami 100% healthy, he wants a match with him tonight! Aldis says first, there’s no more time on the card, that can’t happen. And second, Solo clearly has more enemies than just Sami. So how about this? In two weeks, SmackDown before WarGames, it’ll be MFT VS Sami, Fenix, Nakamura & MCMG in a 5v5 Survivor Series style Elimination Tag! Now if you’ll excuse him. Aldis leaves, and there’s a Wyatt Sick6 glitch on screen. And in fact, Uncle Howdy is lurking in the shadows. Will the Wyatts be watching that 10 Man Tag very, very closely?
The Last Time is Now Tournament Opening Round: LA Knight VS ???
The Mega Star knows what this tournament is all about, and he knows everyone wants to be John Cena’s final opponent, but what he doesn’t know is who will be his first round opponent! We’re all about to learn that in the matter of moments, but will it not matter when this is LA Knight’s game? Or will what you don’t know actually hurt you?
Everyone waits and watches the stage. “WOO! WOO! WOO! YOU KNOW IT!” It’s Matt Car- well, no, he’s ZACK RYDER again!? Long Island Iced Z returns to the WWE, but will he prove he’s #AlwayZReady? The bell rings, the fans cheer and “WOO WOO WOO!” Knight and Ryder circle, Ryder gets the “WOO WOO WOO!” going hotter, and the two tie up. Ryder rolls Knight, TWO! Ryder says it was that close, and Knight says yeah, okay. They go again, tie up, and now Knight wrenches Ryder to YANK, YANK, YANK the arm! “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight wrenches, Ryder ducks, but then Knight switches.
Ryder bucks the O’Conner, but Knight avoids the Rough Ryder! Knight returns, but Ryder tosses him out! The fans cheer as Ryder smiles, and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and Ryder whips corner to corner. Knight hits buckles hard, then drops to his knees. The fans cheer Ryder as he pushes Knight to the corner, then whips him again. Knight reverses and BACKDROPS! The fans fire up while Ryder flounders, then he goes to the apron. Knight storms over, Ryder ROCKS Knight first, and then Ryder goes to supelx! Knight supelxes but Ryder slips free! Knight dodges to JAB, JAB, and JAB! “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Then ROLLING ELBOW! Knight clinches to RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Knight whips, Ryder hits buckles hard, and Knight hits the JUMP NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO!
Ryder survives but Knight nods. Knight brings Ryder up, kicks low, then fires hands. Knight bumps Ryder off buckles, then whips him to ropes. Knight scoops, Ryder slips free, and Ryder ROCKS Knight! And CHOPS! And ROCKS! And then whips, but Knight reverses. Ryder turns backdrop into FACEBUSTER! Big forearm in the corner, and Knight sits down! The fans pump their fists with Ryder, “WOO WOO WOO! YOU KNOW IT!” BROSKI BOOT! Cover, TWO! Knight survives but the fans rally up as Ryder aims from a corner. Ryder hooks Knight’s arms, turns him, but Knight RAMS Ryder into buckles! Dragon sleeper, REVERSE DDT!
The fans fire up while both men are down! Knight then rolls back to his feet and the fans cheer. Knight goes up the corner, and he spells it out, “L! A! KNGIHT! YEAH!” BOX JUMP ELBOW- NO, Ryder moves, runs up, ROUGH RYDER!! Cover, TWO!! Knight survives and the fans are shocked! Ryder is also surprised, but he hurries to watch Knight. “This is Awesome!” and Ryder reels Knight in, Knight wrenches out and kicks, B F- NO! Ryder rolls Knight up, TWO! Knight runs up, but into KNEES! Ryder goes up, up, RADIO SILENCE into a POWERBOMB!! Then Knight hauls Ryder up, B F T!! Cover, KNIGHT WINS!
Winner: LA Knight, by pinfall (advances to the next round)
YEAH! Knight didn’t care who it was gonna be, he fought and won his spot in the second round! Knight, Jey, Sheamus, Rusev, who else will advance in this historic tournament?
Alexa Bliss, Rhea Ripley & Iyo Sky talk backstage.
They still can’t get their heads around why Charlotte just walked out on them. Charlotte also isn’t texting back or anything. Rhea knew they had beef, but she thought Charlotte would put it all aside like she did. Tonight just shows they gotta now find two more people for the team. Alexa says she has someone to call, Iyo says Charlotte was their best bet, though. But then Asuka, Kairi, Nia & Lash all attack! The brawl is on, Rhea HEADBUTTS Kairi down, but Lash DECKS Rhea! Then Nia sends Iyo into Lash’s KNEE! Lash then sends Iyo into a road case! And then same for Rhea! Security rushes in, Asuka says okay, okay, they’re good.
Nia says bye, losers~! The Irresistible Four just did a lot of damage. Will they even need a fifth woman to finish off what’s left of Rhea, Iyo and Alexa?
Jade Cargill VS B-Fab!
The Storm finally reigns on the mountaintop of WWE, and she is not playing nice with anyone. Will she strike down someone who was once a friend? Or will B-Fab truly be fab when she gets a win on the champ?
SmackDown returns, B-Fab makes her entrance, Michin staying backstage to let her handle things on her own. The bell rings and Jade dares Fab to try something. They tie up, Fab goes for a leg, but Jade spins her around. CHOKE- NO, Fab slips free and DROPKICKS! And DROPKICKS! Jade is in a corner, Fab runs up, HEEL KICK! Fab fires ELBOW after ELBOW, then fires up! The fans rally, Fab runs up, but Jade blocks the boot! Jade DECKS Fab with a forearm, then drags her right back up. Jade scoops Fab to FALL AWAY SLAM! Jade kips up, fires up, and the fans are with Jade on this one.
Jade waits on Fab, brings her around with the guzel, CHOKE SLAM! Jade tells Fab to stand down, but then she brings Fab up anyway. Jade revels in the cheers, then lifts Fab to POWERBOMB! Jade paces while she tells Fab to stay down, but Fab manages to sit up. Jade says fine, and she brings Fab up again. Fab fights, Jade lifts, POWERBOMB! Jade stands over Fab as she tells her to stay down, but the fans want to see that “One More Time!” Jade drags Fab up, has the chicken wings, and then JADED! Cover, Jade wins!
Winner: Jade Cargill, by pinfall
Jade mockingly checks her imaginary watch, and she says this is who she is! Michin is here now to make sure B-Fab is okay, but then Jade tells them both to get outta here. Mia is upset Jade would be like this just because she’s champion now. Jade tells Mia to know her place, then SHOVES her down! The fans boo but Mia wants after Jade! The ref keeps them apart, Jade steps out, and she smirks as she leaves. Jade says she is #ThatB*tch then, now, and forever, so just keep ’em coming.
Nick Aldis announces the final four first-round entrants.
“Last week on SmackDown, four superstars were selected at random to compete for the most prized career-altering opportunity: To face the Greatest of All Time, John Cena, in his final match at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Tonight, fate will once again decide the superstars that will compete in The Last Time Is Now Tournament. First up, it’s a former first-round draft pick, Carmelo Hayes, taking on The Vision’s own Bronson Reed. And finally, the high-flying luchador, Penta, will go one-on-one with The Prince, Finn Balor. The only thig I have left to say, gentlemen, is good luck.” No Truth, but will the vision be clear as we approach December 13th?
Backstage interview with Carmelo Hayes.
Cathy Kelley is with H1M and brings up him going on record as to how he idolized John Cena growing up and would love this opportunity to go 1v1. What would a win in the opening round mean for him? Melo says first, he has to address this Miz situation. “Mike, you might’ve won the battle, but the war’s just begun. I will see you when I see you. And John Cena… The GOAT, the Last Time Is Now Tournament, you got a long line full of heavy hitters, killers, all wanting to be the one that’s gonna put you down, all wanting to be the one that’s gonna hang your jersey from the rafters. And respectfully, John, I’m one of ’em.
“50% of people might overlook me, 50% of people might think I can get the job done, but 100% of me knows that if I get that shot, I won’t miss.” But then in steps Bronson Reed. He tells Melo that he’s gonna end Cody Rhodes, then he will end John Cena after he ends H1M next week. Bronson heads out, Heyman nods towards Melo, and then The Oracle follows. Will Auszilla be taking it all on the road to the end?
Aleister Black speaks.
“Fear, Damian? That’s so silly that even you don’t believe that. No, no no no. You threw me on top of a table. You tried to throw me through things. And then you took the bottom part of the steel steps, and you tried to crush my head. The only person that fears anything is you. Fear of what we have made you become.” Zelina Vega says, “We said that we would force you to break your code. We said we would corrupt you. And I think we did exactly that.” But enough about him. They have their eyes set on greater things. That brings them to the entire locker room. Namely, those who hold world titles.
Aleister left fear behind the day he stepped foot back into the WWE, and he has become the one thing no one wanted him to become: everyone’s enemy! Does that mean the Dark Father is watching tonight’s main event very, very closely?
Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes VS Bronson Reed w/ Paul Heyman!
The American Nightmare and The Colossal Aussie are both preparing for WarGames, and while it is Cody, Punk & The Usos at four against Bronson, Bron Breakker & Logan Paul at three, this could still tip the scales back in The Vision’s favor. Will a Tsunami wash away the reign? Or can Cody escape from New York with the gold?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who can carry that weight!
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, Bronson shoves Cody to a corner, but Cody dodges! Bronson hits buckles, Cody fires hands, then kicks to RHODES UPPERCUT! Cody runs to ROCK Bronson, but then Bronson responds with a BODY CHECK! And ELBOW DROP! The fans boo but Bronson covers, ONE! Cody shows toughness and goes to the outside, but Bronson runs in around the way! BODY CHECK! The fans boo, Bronson snarls, and SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Bronson drags Cody up, HEADBUTTS him, then stalks him around the way again. Bronson storms in after Cody, but Cody BODY BLOWS! Cody fires a forearm, but Bronson HEADBUTTS him down! Bronson raises the one but the fans don’t acknowledge their Tribal Thief. Bronson whips and CLOBBERS Cody! Cover, TWO! Bronson drags Cody into a chinlock and leans on the hold, but Cody fights around. Cody reaches out, fights to his feet, and fires body shots. The fans rally as Cody ROCKS Bronson, but Bronson scoops to SLAM Cody! Bronson snarls again, but Cody avoids the elbow drop! Cody rises up, goes to a corner, but Bronson SPLASHES!
Cody sputters against the ropes but Bronson CHOKES him! The ref counts, Bronson steps off at 4, and Cody sputters again. Bronson storms up and ROCKS Cody! Bronson puts Cody in another corner, BODY BLOWS, then whips corner to corner hard! Cody staggers, falls over, and Bronson drags Cody back up. Bronson has a chinbar, and he stretches Cody with the chinlock. Cody endures, fights back up, and SmackDown returns to single picture. The fans rally but Bronson CLUBS Cody, then back suplexes! Cody lands out, ducks a haymaker, and springboards! BEAUTIFUL DISASTER KICK!
The fans fire up and Cody rises, but so does Bronson. Cody JABS, JABS, JABS, then flip, flop, and fly! BIONIC- NO! Fireman’s carry, JAGGED EDGE! Cover, TWO! Cody survives but Bronson goes up! The fans freak out for the TSUNAMI, but it FLOPS as Cody moves! Cody hurries to springboards again, SUPER CODY CUTTER!! Cover, TWO! Cody fires up and the fans are with him! Bronson is outside, Cody runs and DIVES, but into a forearm! Cody stumbles and staggers o the outside, Bronson runs up, but Cody TOSSES him into the timekeeper’s area! The fans fire up again and Cody refreshes the ring count.
Cody clears off the desk! HE even topples the belt pedestal! But BRON BREAKKER FLYING SHOULDER TACKLES!!
Winner: Cody Rhodes, by disqualification (still Undisputed WWE Champion)
Logan Paul is here, too! They mug Cody, SMACK him off the desk, then put him back in the ring! Was this the real plan all along? The fans boo as Bron rains down fists, then Logan gets his turn! Bron rips his shirt away and wants Logan to set Cody up. Logan does as told, but THE USOS hurry out here! Jey & Jimmy said they’d have Cody’s back, so they get in the ring to brawl with Logan and Bron! The fans fire up, but Bron shoves Jimmy! Jimmy SUPERKICKS Bron! Jey joins in, DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Bron falls, Logan runs up, DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Then the ONE D!! That’s one and done for The Maverick!
The fans fire up as now Jimmy decides to GET THE TABLE! The fans are thunderous as Jimmy puts that in for Jey, Jey sets it up, and the fans are all fired up! Logan is put on the table, the Usos go to the corners, but DREW MCINTYRE SHOVES JIMMY! Isn’t he suspended!? Jey runs up, but he gets a GLASGOW KISS HEADBUTT!! The fans boo as Drew saves Logan’s bacon! Aldis storms out here, asks what the hell Drew is doing here, and Heyman claims this is per the WarGames contract! Heyman could recruit anybody under WWE contract, even suspended superstars! Drew sets the table up in a corner, and he drags Jey Uso!
But Jey breaks free to SUPERKICK! The fans cheer as Jey now lines up a shot, but Drew KICKS first! Bron returns to SPEAR Jey through the table!! Jimmy is back to throw hands, but Logan uses ONE LUCKY RIGHT to knock Jimmy out! The fans boo, but now Cody is back! He throws hands on Drew and Logan, but a CLAYMORE takes Cody out! Drew throws off his shirt, he stares down with Bronson, and then Drew puts Cody in the drop zone! Drew step on Cody before the TSUNAMI hits!! The fans are either booing or desperately calling for CM Punk, but it is clear The Vision was thinking ahead.
Drew takes the contract from Heyman and they shake hands on the deal. The numbers are even, but will the odds be in The Vision’s favor now that they have a Scottish Terminator on their side?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown here, with quite a lot of surprises and big moves as perhaps a response to the sinking ratings and sinking interest. Charlotte not automatically being onboard with the team-up was certainly surprising, but given that 4v3 ambush backstage, that will surely compel Charlotte to join up. She’ll see it’s not about her and Rhea getting along so much as as it is them getting to beat up on their enemies, as we knew going into this. Then I would think they still bring in Stephanie Vaquer and Nikki Bella as the fifth members for each side, to help build the title story on top of everything else, jus as I said on Monday.
Obviously Cody wasn’t going to lose the Undisputed Championship tonight, but that was a great move to bolster the show’s card and give an excuse for all the Men’s WarGames build tonight. Logan & Bron being here to help Bronson was a given, and Heyman using a unique WarGames contract to bring Drew McIntyre onboard was certainly a clever move. As I figured on Monday, Jimmy Uso was a natural addition to Team Cody, or maybe it’s Team Punk. And I would certainly think Roman Reigns will also be a natural addition to this match, but I’m curious as to the fifth man for The Vision. Would Lesnar really want to be in WarGames? Well, granted, he’d be the last person to enter the match and “clear house,” but he’d still have to get in there.
Great stuff with the US Championship, such as Ilja continuing to troll Ciampa. Ilja VS Axiom was awesome, through I swear I heard one drunken idiot slurring the word, “BORING~!” That person is the kind of American fan Gunther (and therefore Zack Sabre Jr.) was talking about, IYKYK. But in the end, I figured we’d get more DIY VS Fraxiom, and maybe after that, Ciampa finally gets his match with Ilja. Great promo from Sami with Solo, and great ambush from Team Sami on MFT to set up their own 5v5. I figured that if they weren’t doing the WarGames, they’d get to do the traditional Survivor Series match, and the go-home SmackDown continues to be a substitute for the kickoff show, but in the best way possible.
Another hilarious promo with Truth and Aldis, and Chelsea joining in so we can hype up a celebration certainly teases someone interrupting. Either Giulia is going to crash the party to demand a US Championship rematch, or they plug NXT Gold Rush by having Thea Hail & Joe Hendry get the better of them ahead of the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championship match. I’m leaning more towards the former, they’ll build the tag match plenty on NXT. And speaking of Truth, a shame he doesn’t get in on the final part of the bracket, but Melo VS Bronson and Penta VS Finn will be great matches. With Bronson busy with The Vision’s story, I would hope Melo wins, and it’d be great if they teased a Boston VS Boston showdown.
Jade of course beat B-Fab tonight but that was pretty good for what was basically a squash match. Michin probably gets a match with Jade next, and likely loses that. Jade’s first title defense could be Survivor Series to basically be a buffer between the WarGames matches but also to just get one on the books. There’s a lot on hold for right now with the WarGames matches having a lot of great contenders involved, but I would think we get some Charlotte VS Jade build on the other side of Survivor Series.
And of course, great matches for the Last Time is Now tournament. Jey VS Miz was a great match, and Miz hitting Cena’s moves was an appreciated reference. But I figured Jey would win, they wanna tease a rematch of the Royal Rumble finalists from earlier this year. Matt Cardona was a great surprise, though him being Zack Ryder was perhaps even more surprising. People have been talking about Knight being punished and that he was being set up to lose, but if commentary is talking about that concept, then you know that is not the case. Great win for Knight, great showing for Cardona/Ryder, and here’s hoping Ryder gets to do more in WWE from here on.
My Score: 8.9/10

Coverage
Andrew’s TNA Live! iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 11.13.2025
With a month off, does TNA come back hot or with 87% talking and a show that should’ve been an email?
So last week was the definition of a filler episode with nothing really to speak of except for validating the Dani Luna versus Indi Hartwell match tonight. This is the first real iMPACT! episode since Bound For Glory and…it’s probably opening with Mike Santana talking. TNA needs to stop following the cookie patterns of WWE and you know…start with something interesting after nearly a month off. But let’s listen to talking…
Rascalz vs. The System at #TNATurningPoint!?@TheMooseNation @Myers_Wrestling @TheEddieEdwards @MrsAIPAlisha @DirtyDangoCurty @TheBadReed @ZacharyWentz

Ratings:
- Dani Luna vs Indi Hartwell: Dani wins via DQ – ** 1/2
- Jason Hotch w/Order 4 vs Cedric Alexander: Cedric wins via Lumbar Check – ** 1/4
- TNA Knockouts Championship: Heather by Elegance w/ M & Personal Concierge vs Kelani Jordan (c): Kelani retains via One of a Kind – (-*) – yes that’s Negative 1
- TNA World Championship: Mike Santana (c) vs Ryan Nemeth: No Contest – NXT Attacks
- TNA World Championship: Mike Santana (c) vs Kaz: Kazarian wins via Roll-Up – * – TITLE CHANGE!!!
Results:
Oh look, it does open with Mike and the crowd gives him the “You Deserve It” and it’s a sparse few minutes and Mike starts his promo in Spanish, so that’s a good way to make people ignore the show in three minutes. I understand Spanish, but let’s be honest, the bulk of people who watch are whiter than copy paper, so the whole “Champ is here in Orlando, for Puerto Ricans, and others…blah blah” is not a smart way to open after a month with no real content. So after Santana says nothing in two languages, Ryan Nemeth comes out to Nic’s music because Nic isn’t there. Ryan tries to talk some shit and go for a cheap shot, Santana catches his hand, emasculates him and then tells Ryan he’s going to tell Santino to make a match between the two of them tonight, and he’s going to drop Ryan. So we’ve got a squash match to look forward too and maybe Nic showing up at the end for a beat down.
Kelani is going to have to go through Heather tonight and M tomorrow at Turning Point. So we get another crappy promo from heel Kelani, giving her free title defenses. Yikes…this is bad, I do kinda like the gimmick of Xia translating for Lei since Xia, Lei and Mara crash the interview. But it just makes me angry that one of those three don’t have the belt. Kelani ain’t worth a damn.
After the commercial we get Santino, Ava and Arianna to promote Gold Rush. And then they showed a video package of it, so a complete waste of 4 minutes aside from noting that Arianna got a chant from the crowd. She’s gotten herself over decently to the TNA crowd.
Dani Luna vs Indi Hartwell
It has been 30 minutes and we get the first match…sheesh.
Indi with back to back Double Legs, Dani is getting worked over, Dani tries a Sunset Flip but Indi stops it and drops an elbow. Dani eats Chops, tries to Whip Indi to the corner, Up and Over and Indi takes Dani down and goes back to the chops. Dani finally blocks a Scoop Slam, but Indi blocks the attempted German Suplex so Dani drives her into the corner and finally gets some offense in. A bit of a botchy looking rope straddle where Indi had to lift herself back up to eat the Lariat. Big Power Whip bouncing Indi out of the corner, sliding Lariat for a near fall.
Jaw Jacker by Indi but she misses the Yakuza Kick, gets hung up, Dani tries to turn it into a Powerbomb but a Frankensteiner Counter and a few strikes forces Dani to powder. Indi tries to throw her into the steps, Dani stops herself and turns back into the Spinebuster. Indi to the top as Dani crawls into the ring and eats a Diving Elbow to the back for a near fall. Dani counters Hurts Donut, Shotgun Kick levels Indi. Dani is on the outside looking for a weapon, throws out the Time Keeper, grabs the chair, Indi catches Dani in the Small Package for 2. Indi grabs the chair and lays into Dani.
Indi…has no facial expressions to make sense of this. This is stupid, poorly acted by Indi but the crowd is eating it up like morons. That was the most boring “take out your aggression” I’ve ever seen. Indi cuts some mid ahh promo in the back about an NoDQ match or something at Turning Point and now The System comes out to guess what? If you said TALK, you’d be correct! Assuming this isn’t a rib, the most interesting thing to come from this is Dango announcing he’s retiring after Genesis, but then The Rascalz music hits.
They say they should give the people what they want, and Dezmond Xavier returns to The Rascalz for a 4 on 4 match. They never mentioned Dez by name, but that is the implication. So with JDC retiring and Dez potentially returning, at least that’s interesting.
Jason Hotch w/Order 4 vs Cedric Alexander
Shoulder tackles and a quick Cruiser style start, Hotch powders mid running to pose and act smart so Cedric Dives to wipe out Jason and hits the Flatliner in the middle of the ring for a near fall. Cedric tries to continue and Hotch pulls the tights to send Cedric through the ropes, Skyler takes a cheap shot. Hotch with the Irish Whip, Cedric puts the brakes on, so Hotch hops the ropes and trips up Cedric, but Cedric comes back when Hotch continues, Dropkick to the back of the head, Lumbar Check attempt, but nope, back and forth, Hotch tries the Chaos Theory but Cedric blocks the Suplex, they throw into the corner, Hotch hops the rope, wants the Gamengiri, but Cedric blocks it and backs up, Rolling Neckbreaker from Hotch gets countered into a Lumbar Check! Cedric wins!
Order 4 attempted beat down, but Hardy Boyz make the save, Swanton on Ali is teased but they pull Ali out for foreshadowing.
TNA Knockouts Championship: Heather by Elegance w/ M & Personal Concierge vs Kelani Jordan (c)
Well talk about mental gymnastics to try and make this match make sense, and list this under “who asked for this” – because I’d rather drink bleach in traffic than watch this match.
Color by numbers powder moment, commercial break immediately and I can feel the coma sinking in. Kelani with a bad kick, Heather with a bad Hip Toss right off the commercial…Christ, end this. Lei, Xia and Mara are watching from the back and they look as bored as I do Heather with a clunky Drop Toe Hold into a Hesitation Dropkick for two. Jaw Jacker from Kelani…I wonder how the Patriots and Jets game is going. Hmm, 14-7 for the Pats, closer than expected.
Heather and Lani do a dumb strike exchange since there’s no hatred, heat or fire in this match, Kelani with a Cartwheel move, Facebuster, all near falls, locomotion Cradles into a bad Super Kick. Heather botches a Satellite DDT, this is one of the worst matches I’ve seen all year. Sloppy, slow, clunky and botchy. One of Kind is hit, no one is surprised. This was a waste of 10 minutes.
Great, now we sit through an Elijah concert for prolly about 10-15 minutes since the Ryan vs Santana match isn’t gonna be a real match. I like Elijah, he’s actually a pretty good singer and the gimmick is fine. But this episode has been complete garbage, so more non-wrestling on the wrestling variety show is too much.
Ali comes out to interrupt and challenge Cedric and Hardyz, Elijah wants to pick the fight, but Ali cracks him in the face with the mic and then guitar shot on the injured triceps. Meh.
TNA World Championship: Mike Santana (c) vs Ryan Nemeth
Ryan grabs a mic and yells at the crowd because they won’t cheer for him, and Santana lets happen because Santana isn’t taking the seriously. Ryan even tries to ask the referee to make them cheer. Eventually the bell rings and Ryan attacks immediately, punches into an Irish Whip and Dropkick. Ryan tries the Whip again, but Up and Over, Santana catches the foot, Ryan shakes his head when Santana berates him and drops him, throws him to the other corner, Cannonball! Ryan wants to Spin the Block, but Nic’s Music Hits, he’s carrying the trophy but someone attacks Nic.
Then a bunch of NXT people spill out of the crowd and attack. Charlie Dempsey, Lexis King…and others. I think Robert Stone is directing traffic for NXT. But this…this is what the show was hinging on, an Invasion/Overrun angle? Bad booking is bad, ya know?
TNA World Champuonship: Mike Santana (c) vs Kaz
Kaz’s music hits, he calls his shot, Fade to Black, but Santana Kicks out. Frankie tries the Chicken Wing, Santana slams him into the corner, wants Spin the Block, but the beatdown stops him from being able to execute the move, Roll-Up, and Santana…loses. Frankie Kazarian is the new World Champion.
Overall Score: 3/10
There was something interesting with Dango being on the retirement tour, The Rascalz bringing Dez home and Lei Ying and Xia’s gimmick is endearing. Plus like I said in the rundown, I enjoy Elijah’s musicianship, but I don’t appreciate a Wrestling Show basically no wrestling. Is it variety? Sure, but it’s a wrestling show first. So a show that has 3 squash matches and a 5 minute X Division match that could’ve been much better with time…the wrestling was forgotten tonight. A month off and they lost the plot on the rebound. Ugh…I’ve had diarrhea more enjoyable than this.
The Invasion/Attack is corny but Kaz managing to pull off the Cash In, is…okay I didn’t see it coming, but it doesn’t save the show being awful.
