PLAY BY PLAY

Oba Femi is here!

London cheers as “O~BA!” struts his way to the ring. They keep cheering, and Oba says they are wonderful in London tonight! The fans cheer that, and Oba continues by saying as much as he would love for them to chant his name all night, which gets them to keep going… Oba says settle down now. “Since I was born, alright, I’ve been backed by destiny. And she’s been very kind to me. It’s because of destiny that I was led here to the WWE. It’s was destiny that allowed me to slay the Beast, it was destiny that has brought me this far in this tournament.” The fans cheer, and Oba says, “Good news: Destiny is still on my side, she is still kind to me.

“So this weekend at Night of Champions, destiny will take me to new heights as I become your NEW King of the Ring!” The fans cheer that, too! Oba says, “But then what happens when I become king? I’m still faced with another dilemma. I have the opportunity to challenge a champion of my choosing, and it’s down to only two options, really. So do I go after the WWE Championship?” The fans kinda boo that idea. “Or do I go after the World Heavyweight Championship?!” The fans love that idea! They chant for “O~BA!” and “O T C!” Oba says they have a ways to go, but then Jey Uso makes his entrance!

The fans sing along with Day One Ish and YEET as Main Event Jey makes his way down the stands. Jey takes a moment before he makes it to the floor level and does his own strut to ringside. Jey daps it up with Michael Cole & Corey Graves, then he goes to the ring. Jey YEETs with the fans, but he’s still a much more serious and locked in Jey Uso. Even so, the fans chant, “Run It Back! Run It Back!” Jey thinks about it but Oba says let’s put an end to it right now. But then Jey does run it back, just to mess with Oba! The fans YEET again, and Jey says Oba must’ve forgot! Jey’s HIM! Matter o’ fact, Main Event Jey Uso is now in your CITAAAY~!

Jey says Oba’s counting JEy out already. But he’s used ot that. Guess what, Uce, they counted him out when he won the Royal Rumble. YEET! They couldn’t him out when hge won the World Heavyweight Championship. YEET! They count him out when he shakes arenas, thinking he can’t win KOTR. They count him out because they don’t think he can beat Oba! YEET! But look, though, Jey will do what he do. H e’ll silence the haters and shock the world. And on Saturday, Jey will climb this mountain, wear that crown for the king that he is, Uce! And at SummerSlam, he takes it to Cody Rhodes! Jey guarantees that he will be WWE Champion, Uce!

Night of Champions, this your warning shot! BLAOW! The fans are torn between “YEET!” and “O~BA!” Oba says that’s his warning shot? Then at Night of Champions, Jey is shooting for real. Piece of advice: When you shoot, don’t miss. Because if you do, Oba will destroy you! And if you don’t, Oba will STILL destroy you! Because at the end of eh day, Jey’s not the family member Oba’s really worried about. Take your stupid bullets, give them to your cousin, courtesy of The Ruler, Oba Femi! The two have said their piece, but who will win the war for the crown?

Adam Pearce is on the phone.

But then LA Knight walks in and asks who he’s talking to. Is it Roman Reigns? Maybe Jacob Fatu? Pearce says no, it is not, and he asks what is wrong with Knight. Knight says nothing’s wrong, he just wonders if The Bloodline has compromising photos of Pearce, because he’s letting them get away with anything! Fatu knocks around Eric Andre- And he paid a fine for it! Oh, did he pay one for what he did to Knight? Knight’s handling business with Jey & Jimmy, but Jacob comes out with his little claw, and suddenly that’s what’s going on. Jimmy steps in and asks what Knight’s problem! Knight is here talking about Jacob, let’s talk about Knight!

Jimmy’s the only one in The Bloodline who’s got even a little bit of respect still for Knight, trying to keep Jey and Jacob from smashing in his head, and what does Knight do? He hits Jimmy in the back with a chair! Knight says sorry about that, but it’s collateral damage. Ain’t no collateral damage! Knight says no, Jimmy got in there, that’s how it went down! Pearce has them stop arguing, Knight tells Pearce to shut up! Pearce asks who Knight think he’s telling to shut up and Knight says HE’S telling Pearce to shut up! Pearce says if Knight wants to run his mouth, then time to put his money where his mouth is! Knight VS Jimmy, tonight in London!

Knight says that’s a terrible idea. Instead, it’s Jimmy VS Knight in London! That’s the same thing! Knight says whatever, he wasn’t listening because he doesn’t care what Pearce has to say. The point is, Jimmy and Knight, 1v1! Does Jimmy want that or not? Jimmy says it’s a great idea. How does Pearce feel about it? Well, he thinks it’s a great idea. YEAH! Knight storms off one way, Jimmy the other, and Pearce needs a drink. But will LA win big in the UK? Or will #BigJim stand tall like Big Ben?

WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships: Brie Bella & Paige VS Bayley & Lyra Valkyria!

London is definitely happy to see this match! But while the Women’s Division has been on #ScreamMode, will this still be their house? Or will The Role Model & Morrigan finally get the gold?

Raw returns as Jackie Redmond is with #BayLyra at gorilla. She notes that in mere moments, they are having their title match with Brie & Paige. This is an opportunity that Lyra made happen, how is she feeling? Lyra says this is the one. They’ve had no look all year, because of the obstacles on the road to WrestleMania. But now it happens here in London, they NEED this! This is the one! This is their time! Bayley say’s they’ve been the best tag team in this division for far too long, and tonight, the whole world is gonna find out that they have trust! Friendship! The fact Lyra got them this match, it is all or nothing!

BayLyra secret handshake and high-ten before they make their entrance. The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who is truly the best!

The teams sort out and Paige starts against Lyra, who ENZIGIRIS at the bell! Whip to the corner, SHOTGUN, then Lyra tags Bayley. Bayley runs up to ELBOW Paige, then she reels her into a cradle! TWO, and Bayley facelocks. The fans sing for Bayley, Bayley says this is HER house, but Paige SLAPS her down! Paige kicks her to the corner, bumps her off buckles, then tags Brie. Brie sends Paige in but Bayley goes up and over! Only for Brie to CODE BREAKER! Paige & Brie DOUBLE BULLDOG! Cover, Lyra breaks it! Paige protests but Lyra helps Bayley up. Paige runs in, Lyra THROWS her out! But then Paige catches Lyra in ropes!

Winners: Brie Bella & Paige, by pinfall (still WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships)

Bayley was fingertips away, but she couldn’t make the save! Truly they were so close and yet so far! Will anyone ever deactivate #ScreamMode? As for Bayley and Lyra, they regroup, and Bayley asks Lyra if she’s good. Lyra feels dejected but Bayley says they’ll get another chance. They ARE the best! Bayley brings Lyra up and the fans cheer. They hug it out, but then LYRA TOSSES BAYLEY?!? Lyra fires off on Bayley and stomps her down! Lyra WINDMILLS away on Bayley, then SLAPS Bayley! And SLAPS her again and again! The fans boo more as Lyra THROWS Bayley into ropes! Refs and producers rush out here to stop Lyra losing her mind!

The fans boo, but The Morrigan herself realizes she went off on Bayley after being the one trying to make this team work. But then she drags Bayley up, NIGHTWING DRIVER!! Lyra steps on Bayley, tells producers to leave her alone, and then she storms off into the night. Lyra has truly snapped, what is Bayley to do about this?

Raw returns as Lyra returns backstage.

Jackie asks what the heck! Lyra pushes past Jackie but she wants to keep asking. Lyra glares at Jackie, then storms off into the back. What IS going on with Lyra?

Chad Gable is here!

London cheers as the American Made Man heads to the ring, and he high-fives the fans along the ramp before getting fans to clap along with the song. “Keep on running! Keep on running!” Gable then grabs the mic to say, “OH, the energy! London, the energy!” The fans cheer “GA~BLE! GA~BLE!” Gable nods and says he loves it. he wants to keep this up all night, but he’s here for something very serious and close to his heart. Gable has had one hell of a month, starting with losing his mask down in Mexico. The fans applaud, and Gable says after that match, he realized the mask wasn’t the only thing he’d lost over the last year or two.

He lost his self-respect, his reputation, his dignity, and some friends. Now, Rey Mysterio made Gable realize it is never too late to right the wrongs, so that’s what he’s here for tonight. He wishes to invite a few people out here to do just that. So, Otis… Could you bring Maxxine & Tozawa and join Gable in the ring? The fans cheer, and indeed, the Alpha Academy make their way out here. The fans cheer, and the three join Gable in the ring. Gable thanks them for coming out here. Maxxine, since the day you joined Alpha Academy, the potential was obvious. She was so dedicated, hungry to learn, and all she wanted to do was be the absolute best she could be.

And she did it! She did something Gable has yet to do, and that’s win a singles title. The fans cheer, and Gable admits the way he treated her was pathetic, embarrassing, and that’s on Gable. Tozawa, the heart of a lion, the heart the size of a giant, the definition of fighting spirit, and Gable tried to hold Tozawa down. The way he treated Tozawa was pathetic and embarrassing and undeserved, that’s on Gable. And of course, the fans know “O~TIS! O~TIS!” Gable tells Otis, he is by far and without a doubt the most loyal friend any human on this planet could ever have. He means that. Otis would’ve taken a bullet for him or jumped in front of a car for Gable.

Gable doesn’t say this cuz it’s a cliche or anything, he means this with every fiber of his being. They’ve been friends for 20 YEARS, and he misses Otis. They trained at the Olympic Training Center together, they were tag team champions together, Otis even moved right up the street from Gable, and has held Gable’s girls in his arms when they were born. The fans applaud, and Gable says he threw that all away. Selfishly, Gable wanted the Intercontinental Championship more than he wanted friendship, and that’s Gable’s fault. Now, the three of them don’t owe him a thing, but he owes them something, and that’s what he’s here to do.

He wants to look all three of them in the eye to say… “I’m sorry.” The fans cheer as Gable offers a handshake. Otis thinks on it long and hard, and the fans cheer him to forgive Gable. Otis looks to Tozawa, to Maxxine, then paces a bit more. And dammit, he- Maxxine steps in the way!? She takes the mic to tell Gable that there was a time she believed every word out of his mouth, but she can finally see clearly. And she sees that everything about Gable is a lie! The fans boo but she says she knows! She understands they want to give him! And the Alpha Babes have the biggest heart, she knows they wanna forgive him. But she doesn’t!

Does Gable not remember when he made Maxxine get on her knees and BEG him not to hurt Tozawa? Or how about the time when she had to stop Gable from whipping Otis?! She remembers it all! And they all remember when he left them high and dry, broken in a million pieces. And where was he? Chasing his own dreams, because it’s always been about Gable. This apology is for him, too! But the best part of this is… When Maxxine achieved Gable’s dream, she finally realized, they didn’t need him then, and they don’t need him now! The fans boo but Maxxine says they’re gonna leave him then way he left them: ALONE.

Maxxine shoves the mic back into Gable, then leads the way out. Tozawa follows, but Otis lingers. The fans cheer Otis, but even he steps away. Gable is saddened, but perhaps he understands. What will it take to make things right?

Rey Mysterio finds Dragon Lee backstage.

The luchadores hug it out, and Rey wants Dragon to keep in mind what Ethan Page & Rusev did last week. The way they took Rey’s mask off, do him a favor. Teach Ethan respect for Lucha Libre! Penta then steps in, and he tells Dragon this is his night. He will show Ethan the truth of Lucha Libre, and that he has #CeroMiedo. Dragon says yeah, he’ll do just that. The Boy Wonder heads out, but will he be able to humble All Ego?

Dragon Lee VS Ethan Page!

Raw returns with Ethan already in the ring, and Dragon makes his entrance. The bell rings and the two run up! Dragon dodges to then RANA, and DROPKICK! Ethan bails out, but Dragon FLIES! Down goes Ethan at the ramp and the fans fire up with Dragon! Dragon leaps from the barrier to AX HANDLE, then he CLUBS Ethan. Dragon puts Ethan in the ring, climbs up, and leaps, but Ethan gets under! Ethan then LARIATS Dragon down! Ethan punches, stomps, and ELBOW DROPS! The fans boo Ethan but he snarls as he stomps Dragon to a corner. Ethan bumps Dragon off buckles, then stands Dragon up.

Dragon fires body shots, CHOPS, but Ethan ROCKS Dragon! Ethan stomps Dragon, then brings him back up. Ethan fireman’s carries, Dragon slips free, and Dragon BOOTs the lariat! Dragon SHOTEIS, then sits Ethan down in the corner, swinging DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Dragon then runs corner to corner, HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! The fans cheer as Dragon keeps after Ethan. Dragon puts Ethan in a corner to CHOP! Dragon hoists Ethan up top to GAMANGIRI! The fans chant “ETHAN SUCKS!” but Ethan grabs Dragon’s mask! Ethan turns the mask so Dragon can’t see! Then Ethan BOOTS Dragon down!

The fans boo Ethan but he just scowls, and Raw goes to break.

Raw returns again as Dragon fires body shots. Ethan ROCKS Dragon, ROCKS him again, then again! The ref counts, Dragon turns things around to CHOP, CHOP, CHOP! Ethan turns things around to ROCK Dragon again and again! The fans boo but Ethan runs up. Dragon BOOTS Ethan, he runs up to fire shots, but Ethan KNEES low! Ethan runs up, Dragon dodges, SNAP GERMAN! Ethan stands up but into a SUPERKICK! And V-TRIGGER! Then Dragon uses the ropes to TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO! Ethan survives but barely! The fans rally behind Dragon as he rises up and goes to a corner. Dragon aims as Ethan rises.

Ethan stands, Dragon runs up, but into a BOOT from Ethan! Cover, TWO!! Dragon survives that shot right to the face! Ethan is frustrated and he argues with the ref, but the ref defends the count. The fans sing for “Dragon, Dragon Lee~!” Ethan stands Dragon up, but Dragon blocks the buckle bump to ROCK, SMACK, and ROUNDHOUSE Ethan! Dragon goes up, but Ethan ROCKS him again! Ethan climbs, but Dragon trips him up! Ethan is in the Tree of Woe, for the WOE STOMPS! Cover, TWO! Ethan survives but the fans rally as Dragon builds speed! But Ethan ROCKS Dragon first! The fans boo but Ethan drags Dragon to the apron.

Ethan fireman’s carries Dragon, Dragon fights free, and he V-TRIGGERS again! Ethan falls back, Dragon leaps to RANA Ethan into the desk! Dragon gets back in the ring, he builds speed again, and he DIVES! Dragon hits Ethan and the desk!! The fans go nuts, but Dragon hurries to get Ethan back in the ring. Dragon takes aim, takes off the elbow pad, DRAGON BLADE!! Cover, TWO?!? Ethan survives but Dragon reels Ethan in. Ethan flops down, and then LOW BLOWS by standing up! The fans boo but Ethan uses a loophole! FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Cover, Ethan wins!

Winner: Ethan Page, by pinfall

Ethan grins as he got away with one, and then uses the “Ego Plex” to finish this! But will this win give All Ego want he wants in the shot at the WWE Intercontinental Championship? Or will he only get what he deserves?

Backstage interview with The Vision.

Jackie Redmond is with Logan Paul, Austin Theory & Bron Breakker, who are set to defend the WWE World Tag Team Championships tonight in the O2 Arena. Theory says isn’t it obvious? Everyone is after The Vision. But Seth Rollins will be handled by Bron Breakker this Saturday in the cage. And then there’s The Street Profits. But they don’t know respect, they don’t know the line. When it comes to the future and who is building it, it is Bron Breakker, Logan Paul & Austin Theory. They don’t know sacrifice! Y’know who does? Logan Paul! Just look at his arm! Logan shows off the arm brace and says if it were up to him, he’d take this off and beat the Profits with it.

But to be honest, none of that matters, cuz he’s healing faster than any human being has ever healed in the history of human healing! And if he were a betting man, which he is, he would have all his money on The Vision tonight. These guys have it covered. And if Rollins thinks he’s gonna be a problem, after what Bron Breakker does to him… Bron says Seth will be no problem. They handle business by retaining the titles, and Bron rips Rollins’ head off on Saturday. The Vision fist bumps and heads out. Will The Vision have no problems with The Architect & Profits? Or are they not seeing things clearly?

Sol Ruca speaks.

“As most of you guys know, I am a thrill seeker. But I’m not just a thrill seeker inside of the ring. I find the thrill in everything that I do. I love putting myself out there. I love learning new things. I love challenging myself and pushing myself past my comfort zone. I love failing, I love getting back up, and I love making a fool of myself because trust me, I’ve done that countless times. But it’s that feeling that I get when I get back up and I prove everyone wrong, that is what drives me. I am unapologetically myself, and all you guys need to know about me is that I am Sol Ruca, your Women’s Intercontinental Champion.”

Jackie Redmond is in the ring.

And she has London welcome the Queen of the Ring finalist, Iyo Sky! The fans cheer as The Genius makes her entrance. Iyo looks to the crown, then high-fives the fans along the ramp as she goes to the ring. The fans cheer Iyo and Jackie congratulates her on making it to the finals, where she’ll face Women’s World Champion, Liv Morgan. How excited is Iyo for the match? Iyo says she feels extremely grateful to have gotten here! And she cannot wait to face Liv for the crown. Last week, she beat Raquel Rodriguez, so this Saturday, she will beat Liv Morgan to become THE QUEEN~! The fans cheer that!

But then here comes trouble! Liv Morgan struts out on stage, mic already in hand, so Jackie lets Iyo have her mic. Liv tells Iyo, “Aww, cute little Iyo. You must have forgotten who you’re dealing with, because I am THE Liv Morgan!” Liv does a little spin and Liv says she is the GREATEST Women’s World Champion of ALLLLLLLLLL~ TIIIIME~! Iyo covers her ears to tune that out. Liv says Iyo is not beating her on Saturday. Everyone knows Liv is so much better! Everyone knows that Liv is so much more talented than Iyo! The fans boo but Liv says she is the face of this division, and all she’s missing is the crown.

Liv joins Iyo in the ring now, and Liv says when she wins on Saturday, she not only makes history as the first Women’s World Champion to also win Queen of the Ring, but she gets to embarrass Iyo’s best friend, Rhea Ripley, when Liv wins at SummerSlam and takes her title again. Iyo asks if Liv is sure that crown can fit on that big head of hers! Liv sure is arrogant. The fans cheer Iyo for that, but Liv says shut up! Iyo says, in Japanese, that she and Rhea would have to be real stupid to lose to Liv! Liv DECKS Iyo! The fans boo but Liv throws Iyo to the apron! Iyo GAMANGIRIS back! And springboards in, MISSILE DROPKICK!

The fans fire up as Iyo kips up and does the crazy dance! Liv is sent into retreat, but will this be how it looks on Saturday? Or will the Night of Champions belong to Judgment Day?

Jey talks with Jimmy backstage.

Jey daps it up with #BigJim, and Jey asks if Jimmy needs help with LA Knight. Jimmy says nah, he’s got Knight. Jey just needs to focus on King of the Ring. But then in steps Jacob Fatu. Jey asks where he’s been at, and matter of fact, why was Fatu on SmackDown talking to Solo? Fatu says he don’t answer to Jey’s punk ass. These are orders from the OTC, Solo needed to hear it. Well how’d that go? Cuz they all know Solo doesn’t take orders well. Kinda like Fatu. Fatu says none of that matters now. The only thing that matters is that Solo got the message. So now what? Now, we sit and we wait.

For what, Uce?! Solo might be on his way right now! What’s the play? Fatu says let Solo cross that line. He won’t like what he finds. Fatu heads back out, the Usos talk real quick, but what will happen should the prodigal son return?

Dominik Mysterio & JD McDonagh storm into Danhausen’s lab!

They demand to know where their money is! Danhausen asks them, “What money?” Duh, the money they gave him! JD’s the guy Danhausen robbed last week, because Danhausen took the 100 GRAND he put down on the table and just ran, without cursing Oba Femi! Danhausen says he didn’t steal it, he spent it! He bought this tippy bird toy, and that equipment. $100,000 in one week, and all he got is THAT? Yes, it’s for his experiment! Well, then let’s make this easy. Give them the $100,000 or they’re taking his… whatever that is. Oh, they’re threatening to rob Danhausen? Then he has something for them. YOU! ARE! CURSED! OH NO~!

Dom says JD is un-curse-able! Yeah, JD will show you what he thinks of that curse! JD touches “the experiment” and gets SHOCKED! Dom helps JD up, JD looks around, and Danhausen is gone! Will the Very Nice, Very Evil Overlord continue to outwit everyone in the WWE?

LA Knight VS Jimmy Uso!

The Mega Star ran his mouth again but he doesn’t care, he’ll have his mouth run a marathon if it means getting justice for himself. But will he get that for himself here tonight? Or will #BigJim make Knight shut that mouth for once?

Raw returns as Jimmy makes his entrance. The bell rings and Knight throws hands with Jimmy! The fans fire up as the shots keep going, and Knight gets the edge! Jimmy kicks low, CHOPS, but Knight CHOPS back! Jimmy UPPERCUTS, then he TOSSES Knight out. Jimmy then leaps from the apron, but Knight BODY SHOTS! Knight brings Jimmy up but Jimmy sends him into barriers! Then CHOPS in return! The fans cheer, Knight kicks low, and Knight throws more haymakers! Jimmy HEADBUTTS back! Jimmy follows Knight around the way, refreshes the ring count, then SMACKS Knight off the steel steps!

Knight staggers around the way, rolls into the ring, but Jimmy drags him back out. Jimmy says Knight asked for this! But Knight blocks the bump off the desk to SMACK Jimmy off it! And again! And again! “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight winds up, and SMACKS Jimmy off the desk again! The fans cheer while Jimmy staggers away. Knight brings Jimmy around, puts him in the ring, and brings him up to SMACK him! Knight whips, Jimmy reverses, but Knight turns to NECKBERAKER! Cover, TWO! Knight huffs ‘n’ puffs as he stalks Jimmy, then stomps a mudhole. Knight whips Jimmy corner to corner, runs up, but into a BOOT!

Jimmy goes up, up, UCE IN THE WIND! Cover, TWO! Jimmy is annoyed but he keeps after Knight. Jimmy whips Knight, Knight reverses, but Jimmy DUMPS Knight out! Knight blocks the kick, spins Jimmy, but the DRAGON WHIP knocks Knight down! Jimmy goes out after Knight again, but Knight RAMS Jimmy into the apron! Knight storms after Jimmy, whips him, but Jimmy reverses! Knight hits barriers hard, and Raw goes to break.

Raw returns as Knight and Jimmy are on the apron. Knight storms up to CHOP Jimmy! Jimmy SUPERKICKS back! Jimmy reels Knight in, and suplexes onto the apron! A bit double-edged for Jimmy, but Knight writhes from taking the worst of it. Jimmy covers, TWO! Knight survives but goes to a corner. Jimmy takes aim, runs corner to corner, but Knight dodges the hip attack! Knight ROCKS Jimmy, Jimmy UPPERCUTS back! Knight kicks and DDTS! The fans fire up while both men are down! Knight and Jimmy stir while the fans rally up again. Jimmy rises, Knight follows, and Jimmy storms up, only for Knight to throw hands!

The fans cheer as Knight JABS, JABS, JABS, then DISCUS LARIATS! Knight whips, Jimmy reverses, but Knight ducks ‘n’ dodges to LEAPING LARIAT! Knight then slips around, clinches, RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans rally as Knight waits, and he scoops Jimmy. Jimmy slips free but Knight ELBOWS him! Knight runs, but into a SAMOAN DROP! Cover, TWO! Knight survives again and Jimmy grows frustrated. The fans rally up as both men stand, and Jimmy mule kicks! And ROCKS Knight with a right hand! Knight swings, mises, but slips free of the Samoan Drop, only for Jimmy to ENZIGIRI! Knight goes to a corner, Jimmy runs up, but Knight dodges!

Knight scoops Jimmy for the POWERSLAM! The fans fire up again and Knight spells it out, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!” ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Jimmy toughs it out but Knight brings him up. Knight torture racks, but Jimmy fights free! Jimmy dodges a lariat to SUPERKICK! Cover, TWO! Knight survives once again, but Jimmy rolls away to the corner. Jimmy thinks on what he has to do, and he climbs up top. “This is Awesome!” as Knight trips Jimmy up! Knight climbs, but Jimmy ROCKS him! But then Knight springs up after Jimmy! BUT SOLO IS HERE?! Knight says get outta here! Jimmy SHOVES Knight down!

Solo goes to the apron, and he smiles at Jimmy. SAMOAN SPIKE!! Solo leaves and Knight is confused! Solo promised on Friday to stick it to the Bloodline, so Knight figures whatever. B F T! Cover, Knight wins!

Winner: LA Knight, by pinfall

Knight still can’t make heads or tails of why Solo would do this, but perhaps that’s Solo telling Roman that he’s not coming home. Will the Samoan Werewolf have to handle this on behalf of his Tribal Chief?

Backstage interview with The Street Profits.

Jackie is now with Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins and says tonight, they have the chance to become FIVE-TIME tag team champions! But they gotta get through The Vision to do it. Are they ready? Oh, you know they ready! Theory tried to take Dawkins out but he didn’t get the job done. And unlike Theory’s boy, Logan Paul, Dawkins is 100%! And unlike Theory, they’ll get the job done. Ford says like Dawkins said, they will not only take the tag titles, but they will show the world that The Vision is impaired. Because in this historic O2 Arena, the London bridge will go down! See what he did there?

Because The Profits are FOREVER up, and they want the smoke! The main event is still to come, who leaves London with the gold?

Backstage interview with Bayley.

Jackie catches up with the dejected Role Model as she’s being looked at by medical. Jackie knows it’s been an emotional night, but did Bayley see this coming? Does Bayley have anything to say about what Lyra did? Bayley says she has to ice up. Bayley leaves, will she ever be alright emotionally speaking?

Raquel and Roxanne talk in the clubhouse.

La Ruda asks The Prodigy if she heard how Iyo was talking about her. Raquel keeps getting so close, she can’t keep letting these opportunities slip away! Roxie agrees, it should be Raquel VS Liv in the finals. But they can be happy for Liv since Liv beat Charlotte! If only they had something to celebrate tonight. Dom & JD step in and Dom has JD be careful. JD introduces himself to the group but Dom says no, they know who he is. Roxie says medical should check him. Liv hurries in and asks if they saw what Iyo did to her! Liv vows to humiliate Iyo for it, because she IS the greatest Women’s World Champion!

Raquel shouts over Liv and Liv asks what. Raquel says they all know she’s gonna win on Saturday, but can she not see the rest aren’t doing so well? Dom got that money stolen from him, JD got electrocuted, and both Roxie and Raquel though t it was gonna be Liv VS Raquel at Night of Champions! Liv says right, but everything is under control. She will be the NEW Double Champion, and then Raquel can go after Sol Ruca! Sol Ruca can’t handle Big Mami Sexy! Raquel will be the NEW Women’s Intercontinental Champion! And Daddy Dom, they’ll get that money back! But meanwhile, Dom & JD can focus on getting the Men’s IC off Penta.

What about Roxie? Oh, uh… JD almost passes out! They gotta get him to medical! Liv leaves with Dom & JD, leaving Roxie hanging on ideas. Is Judgment Day (not) fine for the summer?

Exclusive interview with Seth Rollins.

Corey Graves is with the Architect and brings up that when Rollins returned at Elimination Chamber in February, he made it crystal clear that he was going to destroy what he had created in taking out The vision. Fast-forward to now, has he taken any real steps toward that goal? Rollins says the short answer there is yes, but the long answer is a little tricky. This hasn’t gone as planned. WrestleMania didn’t work out, Backlash wasn’t his night, and truth is, he isn’t sure he’d be here talking to Corey if not for The Street Profits.

If Montez Ford hadn’t checked Rollins when he needed it, if Angelo Dawkins wasn’t giving him grace when he needed it, Rollins doesn’t know if he’d be here. And here we are, Rollins is one moment away from finishing his mission. Corey says in the interesting of playing devil’s advocate, Rollins steps inside a steel cage with Bron Breakker. There is a real possibility Rollins doesn’t walk out of Riyadh with his hand held high, and to be honest, a chance he doesn’t walk out of there at all. Rollins takes a moment, and says he does know that. He knows the risks, he knows a lot can go wrong in a situation like this, it really can.

But sometimes, when you have a problem, you gotta find a way around it, and Rollins is an expert at that. Sometimes, you gotta put all your chips on the table and find out who you are. The last time he won the World Heavyweight Championship, it wasn’t in the most upstanding way, because he found a way around the problem. It didn’t tell him who really was, nor was it who he wanted to be. Bron, Steel Cage, this is going to tell Rollins and the world just who Seth Rollins is. If Rollins can beat Bron, then he can put The Vision behind him and move on to his real mission of regaining the world title he never truly lost.

The Architect is ready to #BurnItDown once and for all, but will he be the one demolished in Saudi Arabia?

Adam Pearce talks with Chad Gable.

The Raw GM knows it was hard to hear that from Maxxine, but they can move on from that with some title opportunities. Gable says he has been talking to Penta, and Pearce says so has he. But then Judgment Day steps in and Dom says Gable’s not getting an opportunity before him. JD brings up medical, Dom says he’ll be fine long enough for this. Gable doesn’t deserve anything! He couldn’t even get forgiveness from his loser friends! But speaking of apologies, where’s one for Dom? What? Well, Gable’s apologizing to luchadores, and since Dom is the King of Luchadores, Gable offended him worst of all!

And Pearce, too! What’s he gonna do about Danhausen stealing all Dom’s money? Uh, your money, your problem. Gable says DOM is the one who sent Gable on that trip to Mexico in the first place! That’s what Gable gets for listening to a dumbass.  But if Dom wants an apology, try and beat it out of him. Nice try, but the King of Luchadores doesn’t just hand out matches with him. So next week, it’ll be Gable VS JD! Is JD good with that? Huh? Doctor? Go to medical. Dom ushers JD along, Liv following after, and Gable shakes hands with Pearce. Will The American Made Man make the Irish Ace pay for The King of the Luchadores’ arrogance?

WWE World Tag Team Championships: Austin Theory & Bron Breakker w/ Logan Paul VS The Street Profits!

In his infinite wisdom, Paul Heyman made sure there was a “Freebird Rule” in the tag title contracts of The Vision, allowing the Unpredictable Badass to defend these belts alongside The Pressure. But will Bron be able to focus on The Profits when he has Seth Rollins on the horizon? Or is this where Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins take it all back?

The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who reigns on high!

The fans tell off Logan Paul while the teams sort out, and then The Vision just attacks! The fans boo as Bron stomps Dawkins and Theory stomps Ford! Theory bumps Ford off buckles, digs his knee in, and Bron mocks the pump. Theory drags Ford up, ROCKS him, then whips corner to corner. Ford goes up and over, cartwheels and handsprings, then he JUMP KNEES Theory! Tag to Dawkins, they whip and DROPKICK! Cover, ONE, but Dawkins brings Theory up. Dawkins wrenches, tags Ford, and they whip to RUN Theory over! Then the BACK SUPLEX SPLASH! Cover, TWO! The fans still tell Logan off and The Profits like it.

Ford ROCKS Theory, Theory KNEES low, then Theory tags Bron. Ford fires off on Bron right away, but Bron headlocks. Ford powers up and out, hurdles, but Bron builds up speed to LARIAT! Dawkins runs up, but Bron catches him for an EXPLODER! The fans either bark or boo, but Raw goes to break.

Raw returns as Bron mocks Ford while he crawls around. Bron stands Ford up, bumps him off buckles, then tags Theory. Theory BODY BLOWS Ford, then brings him around to taunt Dawkins. Ford BODY BLOWS, but Theory clamps onto an arm! Ford fires hands, reaches for Dawkins, and repeat! But Theory CLUBS Ford, then sucker punches Dawkins! Theory brings Ford over, The Vision mugs him while the ref is busy with Dawkins! The fans boo but The Vision gets away with it all. Theory stands Ford up to snapmare, then he stomps Ford down! Theory then clamps on a chinlock and he grinds Ford down.

The fans rally as Ford endures, but Theory leans on the hold. Ford fights up, the fans rally, and Ford rises to BACK SUPLEX! The fans cheer while both men are down!

LOGAN GIVES THEORY THE ROPEBREAK! But the ref saw that armbrace, he knows Logan did it! The ref EJECTS Logan! The fans cheer while Logan throws a fit! London sings “Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye~!” as Logan goes up the ramp. Ford hot tags back to Dawkins, and he has Theory back up! Theory freaks out, Ford climbs again, but Bron SHOVES Ford down! Dawkins drops Theory so he can fire hands on Bron! He ROCKS Bron with that right!

But then Theory CLOBBERS Dawkins! Theory tags Bron, Bron goes to the apron, and FLYING BULLDOG onto the desk!! The fans again duel between barks and boos while Raw goes back to break!

Raw returns once again as Theory and Dawkins are down. They crawl, Theory tags Bron first and he CLOBBERS Dawkins!

The Vision DOUBLE ELBOWS Dawkins down, then Theory covers, TWO! The fans rally for The Profits but Theory clamps onto Dawkins with a chinlock. Dawkins endures, fights up, the fans even chant for “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” Dawkins fires body shots, but Theory CHOP BLOCKS! Tag to Bron and they split the wishbone!

Bron mocks Dawkins’ pain, then he brings Dawkins up. Dawkins fires body shots, Bron eggs him on, so Dawkins SLAPS him! Bron ROCKS Dawkins, Dawkins ROCKS Bron, repeat!

The brass knuckles are still left behind on the apron, so Theory hurries to grab them! But then SETH ROLLINS is here! Bron has his eyes locked on the ramp, and he brings the straps down, but surprise! Rollins jumps in from the crowd side! He takes the knuckles and CRACKS Theory!! The fans sing “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” as Bron goes after Rollins! But then the ANOINTING and FROM THE HEAVENS!! Cover, PROFITS WIN!!

Winners: The Street Profits, by pinfall (NEW WWE World Tag Team Champions)

Bron is stunned! Rollins took advantage of the obsession, and now The Profits have the titles again! Is this a sign that The Vision is falling apart? Or is this just fuel on the fire for Bron against Rollins?

My Thoughts:

A very good Raw, especially as the go-home to Night of Champions. A little surprised we didn’t see Roman Reigns here but I suppose he did not feel compelled to show up when he isn’t defending his title on Saturday. But The Bloodline still did a good job without him, with Fatu still getting attitude with Jey and telling them to handle LA Knight. Very good promo from Jey with Oba to hype up their KOTR match, and very good promo from Jimmy with LA Knight to set up their match. Solo Sikoa coming through on his promise already was a bit surprising, and makes me wonder if LA Knight ends up in a rehash of MFT where it’s Knight, Solo, and Royce Keys. I’d rather have my idea from Friday where Solo caves, and it’s Bloodline VS the Bullet Club Judgment Day MFT hybrid.

Speaking of Judgment Day, great stuff with their growing dysfunction. Liv confronting Iyo doesn’t go her way, and her throwing a fit later getting on Raquel’s nerves is a nice detail. Granted, the go-home math now says Liv finds a way to win, perhaps setting up the very double championship match she wants. Liv deflecting so that Raquel thinks about the Women’s Intercontinental Championship was also clever. Dom & JD had a good promo with Danhausen, and you can’t go wrong with getting zapped as part of comedy. JD likely loses to Chad Gable next week, as I bet the electric shock will linger through that match.

Gable had a very good promo with The Alpha Academy, that was very powerful stuff for Gable to bring up the long standing friendship he’s had with Otis, and I don’t recall them bringing it up before. But at the same time, powerful stuff from Maxxine to not accept the apology. Whether your agree or disagree, that is a very realistic reaction for Maxxine to have. But same goes for Tozawa following her lead, and for Otis being hesitant. Surely this comes to a point where Otis forgives Gable and we can start on the road to combining Alpha Academy and American Made. Maxxine is herself definitely still joining The Vision, she even hinted at it in some ways with what she specifically said when rejecting the apology.

Great match from Dragon Lee VS Ethan Page, but Ethan used a very clever cheat with the mask turning, as well as the “inadvertent” low blow. Ethan and Gable are each in a good position towards the Men’s Intercontinental Championship, we might even get Gable VS Ethan to name a contender. Great Women’s Tag Team Championship match, though maybe a bit quicker than I expected. Maybe it was just the commercial break taking a piece out of the match for viewing audiences but still. Good win for Paige & Brie so Paige can win in her homeland, and then I did not see it being Lyra going Heel. But that was half of why it was effective. We’d been seeing Bayley with her other sides, though not for a long time, and then it’s Lyra who snaps. Their feud will be great, and certainly culminates at SummerSlam.

Then great story with The Vision and their many enemies. Good promo from Rollins to help frame the steel cage match as a blowoff, but hard to say if he wins now that he and Joe Hendry cost The Vision the tag titles. Great for The Profits to be champs again, though, they definitely needed this. Hopefully this helps spice up the Raw Tag Division a bit, that division has been needing something of its own rather than costarring in the various faction stories.

My Score: 8.8/10
