Vince McMahon returns to Raw!

The Chairman is in Cincinnati and heads right to the ring to welcome everyone to the show! And tonight will be one for the ages! It will be one no one can forget! Why? Because Vince is here! But so is the BIG DOG! Roman Reigns returns to Raw just like he promised on social media! And clearly, Vince is not happy about it. Roman is meant to be a SmackDown superstar now, so he shouldn’t be here. Plus, the last time Roman and Vince were in the same arena, Roman gave Vince a Superman Punch! Roman joins Vince in the ring again, but Vince threatens Roman that if he hits Vince again, the police will arrest him! And again, Roman shouldn’t be here when he’s on SmackDown.

Roman tells Vince to watch his tone. Roman is on SmackDown, but Raw has been Roman’s home for a long time. He promises to leave this place better than he found it, but then the McMahon Family promise the fans are the authority. Apparently that was a lie, because what have the McMahons done? They’re running around abusing power. Roman says it’s over, because he doesn’t listen to them or their orders. He listens to the WWE Universe. So Roman can just show up and fans will like it? Cincy seems to, and that’s reason enough. But Vince says that won’t happen, so don’t even go there. There’d be anarchy if that happened! But wait, is that… Daniel Bryan!? Another SmackDown star, on Raw?!

The Planet’s Champion walks right down the ramp and grabs himself a mic before stepping into the ring. Vince is having a nightmare, isn’t he? What’s Bryan doing here? Bryan says that “ever since the travesty” at Wrestlemania, where he was robbed by Kofi Kingston, Bryan has spent his time in solitude. Fans cheer for Kofi which only annoys Bryan. Bryan says he was meditating, searching for answers that only leaders of the world could understand. So when Bryan heard “The Big Dog” was going to show up here, Bryan figured he and Vince could have a conversation. But wait, here comes the WWE Champion!! SmackDown’s Kofi Kingston is here, too!? What is going on?!

Fans are loving having Kofi here. Kofi wants to celebrate with the people a bit. And yea, the Superstar Shake-Up happened, but if Bryan has a problem, he didn’t need to go to the McMahons. “Forget the McMahons, come to me.” Because Kofi is the W, W, E, World, Heavy, weight, CHAMPION~! Bryan is fine with that. Kofi is “an undeserving champion” who should have never gotten that title shot! Kofi’s 11 year journey was so hard because he was just a novelty act! “And yet, here I am!” And there’s nothing Bryan can do about it! Vince shouts over everyone, he has an epiphany! Perhaps there should be a Wild Card Rule! The Shake-Up is always great, but there really should be three members from SmackDown who can show up on Raw and vice-versa so that no one can tell what’ll happen! Vince is a genius!

So was this Vince’s “plan” the whole time? That’s fine by Kofi, but he just knows he saw Roman tweeting about showing up. And without Big E and Xavier Woods, Kofi had a free Monday so he just figured he’d show up, too. Why let Roman have all the fun? Bryan wants them to stop, Mondays aren’t fun. Bryan isn’t here for fun, he’s here for his WWE Championship! Fans boo and Bryan shouts for them to shut up. But here comes Drew McIntyre! The Scottish Terminator says that if Vince can’t get this under control, and if no other superstar has a pair, then he’ll take care of this himself! This is not SmackDown Presents Raw. Kofi and Bryan should be so lucky that McIntyre hates Roman more. Roman thinks he can do what he wants? That the rules don’t apply to him?

Roman was put on SmackDown so he could avoid McIntyre then punch his boss in the face! Roman’s an egomaniac and McIntyre vows to Claymore him back down to Earth! Well it didn’t really work out at Mania so go ahead and try. Wait, Vince has another genius idea: a Wrestlemania Rematch! No, two Wrestlemania rematches! And the second one is for the WWE Championship! Vince pats himself on the back for being so brilliant, but wait! Is that AJ Styles!? The Phenomenal One keeps Vince from leaving because he has something to talk about, after the break.

Raw returns and AJ Styles stands alone with Vince.

Okay, Styles, what’s up? “What are you doing?!” Styles can’t understand what’s going on. Styles finally joins Raw in the Shake-Up, but then SmackDown stars are showing up just because? Well there’s an explanation now: the new Wild Card Rule! Seriously? How convenient. Styles spent years making SmackDown the House that AJ Styles Built, and now that he finally sinks his teeth into Raw and the Universal Championship, Seth Rollins’ best friend shows up! Is that how it’s going to work? Because if so, maybe Styles should go to SmackDown and brings more of his friends. No, it’s three possible invitations between Raw and SmackDown, for the excitement. But speaking of exciting, here comes Seth Rollins!

The Architect storms right to the ring but Vince keeps the peace. Rollins is still pissed about Styles sucker punching him in the contract signing. And then Styles talks about SmackDown being his show? The show that’s been around 20 years and over 1000 episodes? That show was fine before Styles and is still fine without him. But this isn’t even SmackDown, this is Monday Night Rollins! Styles knows where he is. And he knows what he did. Rollins should try to be a good sport. But what did he do? He rejected the handshake and shoved the title in styles’ face. If Rollins isn’t gonna treat Styles like a man, Styles will be the man who kicks Rollins’ ass! And Styles gave him a Phenomenal Forearm through that table.

And nothing will change at Money in the Bank. Well, maybe something. Because when Styles hits the Phenomeanl Forearm again, he’ll be Universal Champion. Vince says these two should compete tonight! But not 1v1! As a tag team! Vince will find a team to face them! But Rollins refuses. Vince says he has no choice. Because this is another brilliant idea from Vince McMahon! Vince says their match is up next! Will Rollins and Styles find a way to work together? Or will they burn each other down even before MITB?

 

Seth Rollins & AJ Styles VS ???

Vince McMahon’s handpicked team for the Architect and the Phenomenal One is… The Rocky Mountain Machine, Bobby Lashley, with the former acting GM, the former Golden Gloves champion, the former WWE United States Champion, the former Mr. Money in the Bank, and “Cincinnati’s Favorite Son”, Baron Corbin!

The Miz waits for Shane McMahon outside his office.

Will the A-Lister give The Best in the World quite the welcome to Cincinnati?

 

Sami Zayn’s back on Raw!

What will the Critic of the Critics have to say about the WWE Universe now? Find out after the break.

Raw returns and Sami wonders what fans will complain about now. We got Roman Reigns, we’ll get Kofi VS Bryan for the title, so what is there to dislike? Sami heard the fans and it sounded like they liked it. Sami liked it, too. But the difference is that when Sami enjoys something and fans enjoy something, is that after things wear off, the fans are still them. They’re still stuck with that “miserable person that you see in the mirror”, all the time! Because fixing yourself is hard. Sami put in hard work to fix himself, but complaining is easy! And that’s why fans do it! It’s the easy way out, and the fans are just cowards. Fans boo and call Sami “Boring! Boring!” but Sami can hear the critics tomorrow-

BRAUN!! The Monster Among Men storms his way out and Sami figures the talking is over. Sami takes off his jacket and hat, and then runs away! Strowman doesn’t let him get away, though, but then Sami goes through the WWE Universe. Strowman keeps his eyes on Sami, and finds an intersection. Sami runs even faster but Strowman keeps chase! They go past commentary and into the backstage area! Will Strowman catch up to Sami and shut him up?

We cut backstage during entrances to see Strowman is almost upon Sami! Sami throws what he can in Strowman’s path, but gets a dead end garage door! Sami pulls on the chain but it isn’t enough. He tells Strowman this has nothing to do with him, but then the door opens. Sami crawls but Strowman catches him like a horror movie! Strowman yanks Sami up, scoops him, and throws him in the dumpster! “Who’s the coward now?” But then Strowman hears the garbage truck coming. The truck grabs the dumpster Sami was in, and starts lifting! It dumps the dumpster into the back!! Is Sami going to get compacted?!

Natalya and Naomi find envelopes in their lockers.

The Sassy Southern Belle, Ms. Lacey Evans, invites them all to ringside for her match later tonight. “Formal ringside attire required.” Who is she to tellt hem how to dress? This is so tacky. And if she tries sucker punching them, she’s gonna get Naomi’s left and right. Dana Brooke also has an invitation. This is because they’re all in the Women’s MITB, isn’t it? She must be planning something. And do the envelopes smell like peach cobbler? Who does that? Lacey has got to go.

 

The Miz still waits.

Shane hasn’t arrived to Raw, but Miz seems willing to wait all night if he has to.

 

Ricochet VS Robert Roode!

The One and Only is one of eight men in the Men’s Money in the Bank match, for now. He wants to prove he’s better than The GLORIOUS One by putting that spot on the line! Will Ricochet lose his own gamble and be out of a golden opportunity?

Raw returns as Roode makes his entrance. The bell rings and Roode powers Ricochet right to a corner. Roode stomps a mudhole into Ricochet but then backs up not to be disqualified. He still comes back for more stomps, but then backs off again. Roode CHOPS Ricochet then whips him corner to corner. Ricochet goes up and over and speeds things up. He slides off Roode’s back then tilt-o-whirl headscissors Roode down. He dropkicks Roode, too, then runs back in. Roode puts him on the apron but Ricochet shoulders back. Ricochet springboards but Roode shoves him down! Roode goes after Ricochet to bump him off the apron. Roode throws Ricochet in to slam him off the apron!

Cover, TWO!

Roode grows frustrated with Ricochet as he stalks him to another corner. He drags Ricochet up and puts him on the top rope. Roode CHOPS Ricochet and climbs up, but Ricochet fights him off. Roode falls into the drop zone, and Ricochet hits the 630 Senton! Cover, Ricochet wins!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall; keeps his spot in the Money in the Bank match

The King of Flight flies high and stays in the ladder match! But will he ascend to even greater heights by becoming the new Mr. Money in the Bank?

 

Rey Mysterio and Dominique walk and talk backstage.

They’re both feeling great, because now the King of Lucha Libre is getting a WWE United States Championship match! Mysterio pinned Samoa Joe last week and now the match has been made for MITB! Dominique heads out, but Samoa Joe is stalking him!! What will the Destroyer do to the Son of Mysterio!?

 

Raw returns to Joe talking to Dominique.

Joe is actually glad to be meeting Dominique face-to-face. There’s a saying in the business, “If you show up here, show up like you’ve been here.” But Dominique’s been here before with Papa Rey and “Uncle” Eddie. Dominique was so excited to celebrate with Rey. That means he and Rey made an effort to humiliate Joe. Dominique defends that’s not why, but Joe says he’s not done talking! Take this message to daddy: Mysterio may have been the better man last week, but Joe is actually very excited to defend the title at MITB. Joe lets Dominique leave, but how will Mysterio take his message?

 

Lacey Evans VS Allie Katrina!

The Sassy Southern Belle sent invitations to this match so that everyone could see what she does tonight. Of course, she really wants The Man to be watching this closely, but will Becky “Two Belts” Lynch even care?

And to everyone’s surprise, Naomi, Dana and Natty actually show up! But not just them, here comes The Goddess! Alexa Bliss joins in watching this match. The bell rings and Lacey throws her opponent to the corner! Lacey then thrashes and chokes her opponent, but stops at the ref’s count of 4. Then she boots her opponent back down! Lacey dabs the sweat off with a handkerchief before hitting the swinging bronco buster! She then drags Katrina up for the Woman’s Right! Cover, Lacey wins!

Winner: Lacey Evans, by pinfall

Well, the Model Soldier did what she wanted to in showing off to the rest of the Raw Women’s Division. She also picks up the mic to thank them for coming to “such a classy event.” Though she expected RSVP’s, but oh well. Now as to why she invited the “nasties” out here, is because they all deserved a front row seat to see what a lady is capable of. It’ll be the same at MITB when Becky Two Belts loses it all, courtesy of the Woman’s Right. Now one of these four might become Ms. MITB. Hopefully they’re all smarter than they look. Because if they have the audacity to cash in on Lacey, they’ll quickly regret it. “Because y’all will come up short, just like The Man”- But speaking of, here comes Becky!

The Champ Champ swaggers down the ramp ad puts her belts down to bring the fight! She throws hands on Lacey! Lacey runs away but Becky won’t let her get away! Cincy is fired up as Becky throws her around the ring. Dana, Natty and Naomi cheer Becky on as she goes for the Disarm-Her! Lacey escapes but just barely. Will Lacey be able to stay classy against Becky when they finally have it out for the Raw Women’s Championship?

 

Daniel Bryan paces.

The Planet’s Champion seems to be plotting. “Kofi Kingston’s constant shilling as WWE Champion”, from pancakes to merchandise, is a threat to our very existence! That is why Bryan has no choice but to remove Kofi as a role model for both the WWE Universe and the human race! Kofi is not a champion nor a role model, he is pretending! Bryan vows to reclaim that title and be what he was born to be: the Planet’s Champion.

 

The Usos stake out the Raw Locker Room.

Jimmy & Jey sneak around looking for something. Or perhaps someone?

 

The Viking Raiders VS Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder!

Erik & Ivar have been bringing the fight to the Raw Tag Division since arriving! But the Major Brothers aren’t going to be seen as underdog champions any longer! Will Hawkins & Ryder take down their biggest threats? Or will they only go through a painful Viking Experience?

The bell rings, and Ryder 7 Hawkins are ready for the bumrush! They dodge and dropkick the Vikings then throw Erik out to focus on Ivar. Hawkins tags Ryder and Ryder throws forearms and headbutts. Tag to Hawkins and he does the same. Ryder tags back in and they keep mugging Warbeard Ivar. Ivar shoves and swings but misses. Hawkins tags in and the Major Bros combine for a Russian Leg Sweep STO! Cover, ONE! Tag to Ryder and Hawkins dropkicks Ivar in a corner. Broski Boot from Ryder and cover, TWO! Tag to Hawkins and he runs in, to a seated senton! Ivar roars and drags Hawkins over to the corner. Tag to Erik and the Vikings give Hawkins a knee to a knee! Cover, ONE!

Erik keeps on Hawkins with an armlock but Hawkins fights out. Hawkins hits Ivar but Erik back suplexes. Hawkins lands out to tag in Ryder! Ryder rallies on the raiders! He gives knees to Erik and then a missile dropkick! Ryder runs in for a big forearm smash and then more forearms. Erik shoves him away, but Ryder dumps Ivar out. Hawkins clobbers Ivar with a clothesline! Only to get a knee from Erik! Ryder wrecks Erik and puts him in, but then the Rough Ryder is denied! Shotgun knees! Tag to Ivar, and they go after Ryder with Thor’s Hammer! Cover, The Viking Raiders win!

Winners: The Viking Raiders, by pinfall

Erik & Ivar just put down the Raw Tag Team Champions! Does that mean they’ll be competing for those titles sooner rather than later?

 

Raw presents a new episode of Firefly Fun House!

Bray Wyatt’s back, everybody! Now today is going to be a very special day. But, what’s going on with Mercy the Buzzard? Burp~! What’s he got there? Nothin’. C’mon, man, we’re all friends here. Back off, Bray, he said it was nothin’. What is he trying to hide? None yo’ damn business, Abby! Now go back to sleep, you old hag. Bray keeps the peace between the pals and wants to see what the fuss is about. He reaches in but Mercy snaps at him. Bray grabs… RAMBLING RABBIT?! Or what’s left of him… Mercy hated that rabbit. The rabbit was trying to force his world views on Mercy. Oh boy… It’s perfectly okay to express yourself. Whether it’s painting a painting, flying a kite, or ripping a rabbit to shreds. They can forgive him just like Bray was forgiven. In fact, Mercy should be rewarded! Does he mean…

Yes! Picnic time! And remember, Fireflies. He’ll always light the way, you just have to let him in. Bye~! See you next time~!

Uh…

 

Seth Rollins speaks.

“It doesn’t matter if that forearm was an accident or whether you did it on purpose”, AJ Styles made his point perfectly clear when he just walked away! But the next time Styles walks away from Rollins is with two black eyes and a broken face! The Architect has sent his ultimatum, but will the Phenomenal One heed the warning?

 

Drew McIntyre VS Roman Reigns!

The new Wild Card Rule allows this crossover of Raw VS SmackDown to happen, because of how “brilliant” Vince McMahon is. Either way, this unfinished business will be settled between Scottish Terminator and Big Dog one way or another! Will Roman roll on towards his MITB fight with Elias? Or will McIntyre prove he’s truly Raw’s new alpha male when he settles the score from Wrestlemania?

But Elias still has Roman, and brings him up for McIntyre. CLAYMORE!! The Drifter helps the Scottish Terminator stand tall, but will Roman make them both pay?

 

Shane is still running away!

He hides around a corner and Miz goes right past him. Shane smirks and breathes easy but Charly Caruso asks what’s going to happen at MITB in that steel cage. Shane slips away but the camera crew follows. Does Shane regret making things so personal with Miz now? Shane goes to his limousine, but Miz is there with the CHAIR SHOT!

Raw looks back to #Kofimania.

“All I ever wanted was a chance, man.” “Kofi Kingston is nothing more than a B+ Player.” The battle of Bryan and Kofi was back and forth, and every time Bryan thought he’d put Kofi away, Kofi proved tougher than thought possible. And of course, the Trouble in Paradise finally makes Kofi THE WWE World Champion! Will Bryan get revenge for that Wrestlemania Moment? Or will Kofimania continue on towards MITB and Kevin Owens?

 

The Good Brothers VS The Revival!

Raw returns as these two teams sort out. Scott Dawson starts against Karl Anderson. Raw reviews the infamous #ShaveYourBack video footage, and The Usos appear! The #TopGuys are riled up but the Usos think the “hottest tag team” should try… “Ucey Hot”! Sweat activated antiperspirant. That means it should kick in about… Now? Now. Getting a little itchy there? Little hot under the collar? Or just hot under the undies. The Revival can’t stop, so the Usos offer water to wash them off. Dash & Dawson scoot and crawl like dogs with worms and even the Usos are surprised how effective that was. The Revival get the water to pour on themselves, but they were supposed to drink it. The water just makes it worse!

Now the Revival are running laps around the stage from that burning sensation. Guess they won’t be having that match with Anderson & Gallows after all. Will the Usos pay for their pranking ways?

No Contest

 

Kofi Kingston speaks.

“So Daniel Bryan doesn’t think that I am a champion?” But the thing is, these last 11 years, a lot of people thought that. Bryan won’t be the last one. Many thought Kofi as WWE Champion was impossible, but he showed the world the truth! The impossible IS possible! Bryan is going to correct the course of history? No! Kofi will do that when he retains the title and sends Bryan’s whining behind back where he came from! An dthen everyone will know why Kofi is THE WWE Champion, Babyyyyyy~!

 

No Way Jose VS Lars Sullivan!

The Fighting Fiesta and his conga line go around the ring, but the Leviathan isn’t in a partying mood! And it’s another SmackDown star on Raw! Will the party be over for good after Lars gets through with Jose?

Lars goes after the conga line first! He beats up the hot dog, the tie dye guy, and the green guy! Jose attacks Lars but is thrown into the crowd! Lars runs over the conga line guys again, then stands up the hot dog for a FREAK ACCIDENT onto the barriers! Lars is even more violent than usual as he takes the man in the cape and throws him into the post! The green guy in the kilt gets thrown into the ring! Lars stalks him to a corner, but Jose returns with haymakers! They do nothing to Lars, but Lars’ one hand clobbers Jose. Lars then shoves the green kilt guy out, before giving Jose the Leviathan Bomb! The Mile High Monster is seemingly unstoppable, who won’t he destroy?

No Contest

 

Raw celebrates Naomi’s joining the Boys & Girls Club Alumni Hall of Fame!

Naomi is the first woman from the WWE to join this wonderful group’s list of great members.

 

Vince tries to explain something.

The Wild Card Rule is not being violated because Elias and Shane don’t count. Only three are allowed, and anyone who violates that will be suspended or fired. Anyway, Vince is interrupted by Lars! He decides to bump the Wild Card Rules to four superstars. That’s all Lars needed to hear to spare Vince his wrath.

 

WWE Championship: Kofi Kingston VS Daniel Bryan!

Raw hasn’t had the world title defended here in three years, and it’s thanks to the Wild Card Rule that we’re getting it! Who wins this massive Wrestlemania rematch to then move on to Money in the Bank?

Introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we begin!

Kofi and Bryan tie right up and Bryan puts Kofi in a corner. Bryan gives Kofi “No Kicks” then runs corner to corner for a dropkick! And another! But Kofi clotheslines Bryan before the third! Kofi clotheslines Bryan out then builds speed to FLY! The Trust Fall wipes Bryan out! Kofimania is running wild in Cincy while we go to break!

Raw returns again, and Bryan throws EuroUppers on Kofi. Bryan then gives more No Kicks and wrenches Kofi into a headlock. Kofi powers out and things speed up. Kofi hurdles Bryan then elbows him down! Cover, TWO! Kofi drags Bryan up to snapmare and run for a Penalty Kick. Then Kofi rebound springboards for the splash! Cover, TWO! Kofi keeps his cool while bringing Bryan up. He wrenches Bryan to a corner to CHOP and uppercut him back. Kofi whips corner to corner but Bryan reverses. Bryan runs in for a monkey flip, but Kofi lands on his feet! Kofi runs back in but Bryan tosses him out! Bryan goes out to fetch Kofi and hammerlock the arm. He throws Kofi shoulder first into the post!

Bryan brings Kofi up again for another hammerlock, and throws him into the other post! Fans boo as Bryan puts Kofi in the ring. Bryan aims from the corner to kick the arm! Kofi writhes while Bryan soaks up the heat. Bryan drags Kofi up but Kofi fights back with the good arm. Cincy is on Kofi’s side as he fires off strikes! Kofi has Bryan in the corner and rains down rights. The ref backs Kofi off and Bryan boots Kofi back! Bryan whips Kofi corner to corner but gets a swing kick! Kofi springboards but into a butterfly suplex! Into an armbar! Kofi resists by locking hands, but Bryan shifts to the Lebelle Lock! Kofi fights out with a kick! Both men slowly stand and then speed things up, double crossbodies collide! They’re both down as we go to one last break!

But Kofi climbs up quick and LEAPS onto Bryan! Kofi wipes Bryan out but also himself! Kofi gets up to put Bryan in the ring then climbs up again. Bryan stands and Kofi crossbodies to Bryan’s back! Cover, TWO! Kofi keeps his cool while he brings Bryan up again. Kofi whips Bryan but Bryan reverses, to reel Kofi in for another Lebell Lock!

Bryan pulls back hard while fans rally for Kofi! Kofi endures but he’s stuck in the middle of the ring! Bryan rakes the eyes and nose but Kofi rolls around. Kofi gets a ropebreak with his legs! Bryan lets go at 4 but he grins because the damage is done. Fans rally again but Bryan gives Kofi more No Kicks! Bryan targets that arm with each one, but Kofi wills himself to his feet. Kofi throws haymakers and kicks of his own! He backs Bryan to a corner but backs off to run in. Bryan dodges the splash and back suplexes, but Kofi lands on his feet. Kofi dodges and hits a leaping lariat! Kofi drops the Boom Drop!

Fans fire up as Kofi takes aim from a corner. “New! Day Rocks!” echoes out as Kofi runs and spins, but into a dropkick! German Suplex with a bridge! TWO, and Bryan can’t believe it! Bryan takes aim from the corner now, mocking the Yes Movement he killed. Bryan runs but misses, but then dodges Kofi! He goes after the arm again but Kofi fights the hold off. Tilt-o-whirl, into Trouble in Paradise!! Cover, Kofi wins!!

Winner: Kofi Kingston, by pinfall; still WWE Champion

And Kofimania still lives! Kofi hoists the title up over his head in celebration! But he still has Kevin Owens on the horizon, will the dream live on through Money in the Bank?

 


 

My Thoughts:

Well, this was a Raw. You could practically feel Vince’s desperation to make Raw exciting, only for it to fail about half the time. AJ Styles practically speaks for me when he asks Vince what the heck is going on, wondering what the point of the Superstar Shake-Up even was now. Vince even has to explain things to someone on the phone (I assume Stephanie or HHH) because things were being booked to not go the way the “Wild Card Rule” works. I would almost think Vince was being self-referential making himself look like a crazy person saying he’s brilliant yet losing control. It’s just all very odd.

Plus, Vince wasn’t really thinking outside the box tonight. Styles and Rollins paired together, against Lashley and Corbin, who seems to be Vince’s other favorite wrestler now, it takes some of the drama out of that story. I fear this is Corbin’s claim to a Universal Championship at Extreme Rules, as leaked local advertisements have spoiled. Ricochet puts his MITB spot on the line but obviously he doesn’t lose it, because what’s the point of announcing entrants before making people compete for them? Though honestly that would’ve been something actually shocking from tonight. Speaking of shocking, surely they aren’t writing Sami off so soon. Strowman lets him get compacted, but I imagine Sami, with lots of casts, limps out next week only to get destroyed again.

And then we just get squash matches and filler! Lucha House Party squashes local jobbers just because, and Lacey Evans squashes a local jobber just because there was no other woman to be squashed! With Sasha Banks dissatisfied, though perhaps justifiably, the four women in the MITB ladder match are the only other women on Raw. At best, this teases four possibilities for Lacey’s next feud after she loses to Becky. Becky’s attack on Lacey wasn’t even much, this was just so Becky could shut Lacey up now when it’s almost a given she’ll do it at MITB. Then we get two No Contests in a row. Lars’ makes sense, he gets to maul Jose and some random guys. But Usos pranking the Revival is even more juvenile than #ShaveYourBack. This is just Vince trying to bury the Revival for even suggesting leaving, which can be its own rant article!

Oddly enough, the truly good things involved the now SmackDown stars. Roman VS McIntyre was a great match, even if you factor in Shane and Elias disqualifying McIntyre. Shane’s guys stand tall but this is just so Roman can get payback on the way to MITB. Miz going after Shane was great, even if Shane runs away. I had been sensing crossover involving Shane’s two stories, so maybe the one good thing of Wild Card Rule is that Miz shows up tomorrow and helps Roman. That would be an interesting move because it would bring Miz and Roman full circle from that one Miz TV segment years ago. Then Kofi VS Bryan was a great rematch even though it was shorter. But obviously Kofi wins because titles don’t usually change on TV, and he still needs to face Kevin Owens.

My Score: 7.5/10

Attitude Of Aggression #350- The Big Five Project: Royal Rumble ’97

The Big Five Project returns as the Attitude Era hits its stride with Stone Cold Steve Austin winning his first Royal Rumble Tune in!

Published

on

Attitude of Aggression

On this special 350th Episode of the show, the Big Five Project returns as we enter the year PC Tunney has been looking forward to for a very long time. 1997 is here and so to is the Attitude Era. More or less anyway. We begin what will surely be an epic run of episodes here on the Big Five Project with Royal Rumble ’97. It was a night that saw the WWE return to a stadium as over 61,000 fans packed the Alamodome in San Antonio to see the boyhood dream come true all over again as Shawn Michaels reclaimed the WWF Championship from Sycho Sid. But it was also the night that saw “Stone Cold’ Steve Austin capture the first of his three Royal Rumble wins, and the most controversial of all of them as Austin was eliminate, but the refs never saw it. Austin’s victory would set off a wild chain reaction of events that would completely shift the landscape for WrestleMania XIII. In reality, the entire evening was a who’s-who of huge players in WWF at the time, even if they still were not quite fully aligned with the gimmicks that would launch the industry into the stratosphere. It was an epic night in every sense of the word so come with us deep into the heart of Texas and celebrate as the Attitude Era begins to hit its stride with Royal Rumble ’97!

PLAY BY PLAY

The Death Riders speak.

It was after AEW Dynamite on Wednesday that Jon Moxley said, “Every time I step into the ring with Kyle O’Reilly, I can’t find a way to win. It’s been failure after failure after failure. Kyle O’Reilly has tapped me out, twice. Ipso facto, Kyle O’Reilly will be the new Continental Champion. You might think. But the Jon Moxley of six months ago is not the same as Jon Moxley of today. Who I will be tomorrow is better than who I am today. Logic and strategy would dictate that I should stay as far away from Kyle O’Reilly as I can. Because there’s no doubt about it, Kyle, you have my number.

The thing about this Continental Championship, it’s good bait. All the dragons I wanna slay come right to my door. I will do what I’ve done for 22 years surviving in this business, Kyle: I’m gonna find a way.” The Maniac heads out, and Claudio Castagnoli steps forward to tell Brody King that Brody always brings the bark. But if he steps in the ring with Claudio in the Owen Hart Tournament, he better bring the bite. Pac then says, “Nobody gets special treatment. It doesn’t matter who you are, Death Riders against the world.” Daniel Garcia says yeah, let’s get it! Yuta repeats, “Against the world.” Marina Shafir tells the world, “Bring it, you p*ssies!”

 

AEW World Trios Championship Eliminator: The Conglomeration VS Lee Moriarty & The Infantry w/ Shane Taylor Promotions!

Well speaking of Kyle O’Reilly, he, Orange Cassidy, and the returning Mark Briscoe are going to put STP to the test! #TAIGASTYLE is still ROH Pure Champion, but Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo are upset after losing the ROH World Six Man Tag titles. Will STP take out their frustrations as they rumble, bad man, rumble? Or will the Violent Artist, Freshly Squeezed & Sussex County Chicken simply send #THEM home emptyhanded?

The trios sort out and Briscoe steps up against #BadNews&Tattoos. The fans are behind Briscoe as he and Bravo circle. They approach, Bravo kicks low, and he flips everyone off.

The fans cheer Cassidy while Lee stumbles. Lee tags Dean, and now The Captain steps to Cassidy. Dean says go ahead, put the hands in the pockets.

Cassidy tries again, but the CARLIE CROSSOVER hits, then a feed to the SLINGSHOT SPEAR! Lee drags Cassidy to the apron, the ref is still distracted, Shane Taylor hits a GUILLOTINE LEG DROP! The fans boo but STP has taken control while Collision goes to picture in picture!

Lee drags Cassidy up, puts him in the ring, and Dean covers, TWO! Dean drags Cassidy up, whips him to ropes, then BODY BLOWS! Cassidy falls in a heap but Dean soaks up heat. Dean stomps Cassidy, drags him up, then bumps him off buckles. Dean tags Bravo to send him in for the SPLASH! Dean adds a SPLASH, then scoops while Bravo goes up, KNEE DROP SIDEWALK SLAM COMBO! Cover, Briscoe breaks it! Bravo is upset, but he CLUBS Cassidy. Cassidy fights the suplex, Bravo CLUBS him again and again, then suplexes through! Cover, TWO! Cassidy toughs it out but Bravo drags Cassidy over to the corner.

Dean tags in, The Infantry stomps away on Cassidy, but the ref counts. Dean stops to kneel on Cassidy, then steps off again. Cassidy throws “shots” on the leg, but Dean stomps Cassidy down! Dean then BLASTS Briscoe & Kyle! The ref reprimands but that just lets Bravo CHOKE Cassidy! The ref reprimands Bravo now as Collision returns to single picture. Dean asks, “Is this camera on me? B! B! C!” BRONCO BUSTER CAPTAIN! Dean bounces, Bravo says if you see Cap in that corner, yo’ ass is a goner! Dean drags Cassidy up, tags Bravo, and Dean sends Bravo in for the SPLASH!

The fans fire up but Bravo hurries to anchor a foot! Cassidy reaches out, reaches out, but Bravo drags him back! Cassidy BOOTS Bravo away, Lee tags in, and Lee BOOTS Briscoe down! The fans boo but Cassidy swings! Lee blocks the lariat to wrench Cassidy into the COBRA TWIST! The fans boo, the ref keeps Kyle back, and STP links up on the twist! Four men strong and they make Cassidy suffer! The ref sees that, Dean lets go to defend his innocence, but that causes him to fall onto Bravo! Cassidy powers up to HIP TOSS free! Hot tag to Kyle! Kyle BOOTS Lee, KICKS him, then fires off a strike fest! LEG SWEEP!

Lee flounders to a corner but Kyle runs up to forearm SMASH! Kyle wrenches and ELBOW BREAKERS, then cravats for some knees! Snapmare and a PENALTY KICK! Cover, TWO! ARMBAR! The Infantry attacks Kyle! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but Bravo drags Lee to safety. Bravo tags in, then he tags Dean. Bravo jukes around Kyle, lifts him up, BACK SUPLEX NECKBREAKER COMBO! Cover, TWO!

ORANGE PUNCH for Shane! Kyle FLYING KNEES Shane down for good measure! Briscoe uses the chair to FLY! Down goes STP!! The fans are thunderous as Kyle gets Dean in, and Briscoe is up top! FROGGY-BOW! But that’s not all! Dean staggers into the kick, the underhooks, and JAY DRILLER!! Cover, Conglomeration wins!

Winners: The Conglomeration, by pinfall (denies Shane Taylor Promotions a title opportunity)

When it rains, it pours for STP! Will they just have to regroup and refocus taking over ROH? Will The Conglomeration continue to #ManUp here in AEW?

 

Will Ospreay speaks.

It was also after Dynamite that The Aerial Assassin told Samoa Joe, “My apologies for not getting back to any of your messages, been a little bit busy training and getting myself ready for The Owen. Surprised to see you there in the opening round, mate. It’s gonna be a tough one. But if you can just bear with me for a hot second while I explain to you… Six months of my life got taken away from me, mate. Six months, I’ve been sitting in front of a TV screen, watching AEW, looking at it, trying to get my strength back in my arms, rushing to get back. That’s six months of frustration, six months of anger. And then I finally had my kill shot on Dynasty, and I lost.

“And ever since then, man, I’ve been struggling with my matches. Doc even stopped one for my own safety. I’m annoyed that I didn’t get revenge on Jon. But I’m more upset at the idea that I can’t be the guy that AEW put their trust in once upon a time. Regardless of how I feel about Jon, regardless of how I feel about The Death Riders, there’s nothing that I can say that’ll make people ever understand. But Jon Moxley is the Ace, he’s a soldier for this place. And while his methods might be sick, there are people who stand up to see him get elevated. So what could it happen with him in my corner?

“Joe, I’ve got nothing but respect for ya. Everything that you’ve done in this industry. Mate, you were in the match that made me want to become a pro-wrestler. But no one, no one, is stopping me from winning The Owen. And I find it very poetic that the man takt took away my old life has given me a second chance of capturing the world championship.” The Billy Goat is ready to become something more, but will Samoa Joe make sure Ospreay goes Double or Nothing and loses?

 

Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.

Lexy Nair congratulates them on their win tonight, and brings up that Moxley has accepted Kyle’s challenge. Kyle says yes, Moxley is right, Kyle has his number. But facing Moxley has been the biggest test of Kyle’s career, so what’s one more test? This Wednesday, it’s a title eliminator, and after Kyle makes Moxley submit again, he is putting all his chips in and goes Double or Nothing! Briscoe says damn right, Kyle. And speaking of Dynamite, Tommaso Ciampa, Briscoe put it plain and clear, but he hasn’t heard a word from Ciampa! If Ciampa’s scared, he should just say it! Cassidy says Willow needs to say something.

Willow says sure, okay. Great job, guys, really. But for her, Double or Nothing, it will be TRIPLE or nothing, because she has THIS bad boy, the TBS Championship! But she’s also coming for The Owen, and the World Championship! As for tonight, Red Velvet may have beaten Willow to qualify for The Owen, but that won’t happen tonight. Welcome back to AEW, time to meet the Comeback Killer. Lexy says by the way, that match is next. Willow fires up, hurries off to make her entrance, but will she be ready to cook with The Chef?

AEW TBS Championship: Willow Nightingale VS Red Velvet!

Before making her entrance, the ROH Women’s World TV Champion tells Willow, “The Comeback Killer,” that she’s still salty that Willow is in The Owen and Velvet is not. Tonight, she takes out all her frustrations every time she stirs it up and punches Willow in the face. Yeah, Velvet beat Willow before. And in fact, she’ll beat Willow for that TBS title right now!

The introductions are made, the teal belt is raised, and we see if The Babe with The Power is still the Face of TBS!

The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, Willow powers Velvet to a corner, and the ref counts. Willow backs off, and she flexes as she fires the fans up. The two reset, tie up, and Willow SHOVES Velvet away. Velvet is frustrated as she comes back and resets with Willow again. Velvet then slips around Willow, waistlocks, but Willow wrenches out. Velvet wrenches back, top wristlocks, but Willow stays up. Velvet kicks and TRIPS Willow, then steps over to LEG DROP on the arm scissor! The fans rally as Willow rolls and stacks Velvet, TWO! Willow gut wrenches, but Velvet slips through! Willow ducks, but the superkick still scuffs her!

Willow says okay, okay, and she resets with Velvet. The fans rally behind Willow as she offers a handshake. Velvet accepts, but then arm- NO! Willow stops the arm-drag, and the next one, then whips Velvet to RUN her over! Willow fires up, the fans cheer, and things keep moving. Velvet runs up to CALF KICK! Willow flounders to a corner and Velvet storms up on her. Velvet fires body shots, then stomps Willow down. The ref counts but Velvet does the splits as she digs her boot in! The fans are torn but Willow pushes the foot away. Velvet runs back up, but Willow dodges to LARIAT again and again! The fans count all the way to TEN!

Willow short arm- NO, Velvet ducks the shot, but Willow ELBOWS her! Willow fireman’s carries, Velvet sunset flips, but Velvet avoids the hip drop! Ghost pin, TWO! Willow FISHERMAN SUPLEXES! A deep bridge, TWO! Not quite perfect but Willow shrugs that off. Willow runs, but Velvet avoids the senton! Velvet hurries to STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Velvet snarls while Willow bails out. Velvet pursues, runs up, and ROCKS Willow! Velvet DOUBLE CHOPS Willow, then CLUBS away on Willow! Velvet reels Willow in, talks trash on the fans, but Willow suplexes instead! Willow stalls then SLAMS Velvet on the floor!

The fans cheer as Willow flexes and high-fives, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Willow drags Velvet up, puts her in the ring, then CLUBS her on the back. Willow stands Velvet up but Velvet fires hands. Willow CLUBS Velvet again, then scoops to SLAM! Willow pushes Velvet down to SENTON! Cover, TWO! Velvet toughs it out but Willow stirs it up. Willow stands Velvet up to CHOP, Velvet CHOPS back, but Willow ROCKS her! Fireman’s carry, AIRPLANE SPIN! Willow goes around and around, then back the other way! Willow then SAMOAN DROPS! Willow says that’s how you stir it up! Cover, TWO! Velvet survives but Willow reels her into a KOJI KLUTCH! Velvet endures, even as Willow puts on the pressure, and Collision goes to break!

Collision returns as Willow has Velvet in a corner. Willow runs corner to corner, but Velvet slips to the outside! Willow ROCKS Velvet first, then goes outside to fireman’s carry! But Velvet fights free! Velvet ROCKS Willow, Willow ROCKS Velvet, and Velvet sits down! Willow fires the fans up, then lines up her shot. Velvet stands up, Willow runs, but Velvet dodges! Cannonball crashes ‘n’ burns!! Willow writhes and clutches her back, but she’s somehow still in this! A ring count starts, Velvet rolls in before 3, but Willow rises up at 5. Willow hobbles her way over, rolls into the ring, but Velvet SUPERKICKS her down! Cover, TWO!

The fans rally as Velvet brings Willow up. Willow shoves Velvet, Velvet counter punches! And counter punches! Velvet fires a flurry, but Willow slips around to waistlock. Willow ducks the elbow but Velvet DDTS! Willow goes to ropes, Velvet runs up, DOUBLE KNEES! The fans fire up while Velvet yanks the ropes. Velvet wheelbarrows to BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Willow survives and Velvet is frustrated. Velvet brings Willow up to ROCK her, then she runs the ropes, but into a SPINEBUSTER! High stack, TWO! Willow frowns as she scoops Velvet, RAMS her into a buckle, then OKLAHOMA- NO, Velvet DDTS free again!

The fans fire up as Velvet dragon sleepers, STRAIGHT OUT THE- NO! Willow stops Velvet to POWERSLAM through! The fans fire up as Willow gut wrenches, BABE WITH THE POWER- RANA! Velvet puts Willow back on ropes, and DOUBLE KNEES again! Velvet snaps Willow back, but Willow is up! Wheelbarrow and- FULL NELSON SLAM! Cover, TWO!! Velvet survives but Willow keeps on her. Willow ROCKS Velvet, Velvet ROCKS Willow, repeat! Willow rebounds to LARIAT! Both women are down again and the fans fire back up! Velvet rolls away to a corner, but Willow rises up! Willow runs in, Velvet dodges, but Willow BOOTS her!

Willow goes up but Velvet CHOPS! Velvet climbs up after Willow, SUPER VICTORY THROW! The fans fire up as Velvet then STIRS IT UP!! Cover, TWO?!? Willow survives and Velvet is shrieking in anger! The fans rally and duel as Velvet demands Willow to get up! But then Willow ducks the heel kick, and the buzzsaw! Shove, dodge, and POUNCE!! PERIOD! The fans fire up with Willow and she drags Velvet back up. Willow gut wrenches, BABE WITH THE POWER BOMB!! Cover, Willow wins!

Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)

Red Velvet brought the fire, but she couldn’t cook Willow! Willow is now rolling towards Double or Nothing and her match with Alex Windsor, but will she then head for her second Owen Hart Cup win?

 

Backstage interview with Sammy Guevara.

Lexy Nair is with The Spanish God and brings up how he called out Darby Allin just last night at Supercard of Honor for the AEW World Championship. But just like last night, Sammy hushes “Chica” Lexy, and says, “Everybody’s Favorite Pillar is about to talk, so zip it and listen. Darby, I don’t need to call my shot against you because I looked through the history books, and history’s on my side. I’ve beaten you not once, not twice, not three times, I’ve beaten you four times. When I look at the history books, I’m a three-time TNT Champion while you, you’ve only held that belt twice.

“So I’m gonna beat you tonight like I’ve beaten you before. I’m gonna stamp my ticket to Double or Nothing, and MJF, I know you’re watching, you sociopath. I’m gonna beat you next week and I’m gonna shave you BALD! But don’t worry, I’ll give you a nice little fade. Because I am the best! I am the best wrestler, I am the best talker, I am the best this planet has! I’m the Spanish God, dammit! I’m number one, I’ve been here since day one, and there’s only one way this is gonna go: With me as the NEW AEW World Champion! Darby, your time is up, and my time is now. Because I am Numero Uno. That means ‘number one.'”

Sammy heads out, but is his big head only going to get in the way tonight?

 

Backstage interview with Darby Allin.

Collision returns and Lexy is now with said AEW World Champion. She brings up the five title defenses in 21 days, an AEW record! But tonight is number six against someone Darby’s known for a long time in Sammy Guevara. Darby says when he showed up today, he asked if anyone had seen MJF yet. Then he thought, “What a stupid question. Of course he’s not gonna be at Collision.” MJF is not a company man, he only cares about himself. And those same people asked back, why is Darby back? Why is Darby defending his title again? Double or Nothing is next Sunday, why is Darby risking losing this? Because Darby loves this!

And if there’s anyone in this company as crazy as Darby, it is Sammy Guevara. Darby loves it! Darby realizes this could all end tonight, and Speedball wants his match on Wednesday? Well, if Darby walks out here tonight, then on Dynamite, it’s Showtime! Darby thanks Lexy then heads back out. Will the Relentless Reign be an unstoppable one? Or is this one Collision Darby will not walk away from?

 

Something’s going on backstage!

Tommaso Ciampa is CHOKING Mark Briscoe out! The Psycho Killer SMACKS Briscoe off road cases, and says how dare Briscoe call him out! Their brawl now moves onto the stage! The fans boo as Ciampa fires hands on Briscoe as they go down the ramp! Ciampa whips, Briscoe reverses, and Ciampa hits barriers hard! Briscoe stomps away on Ciampa, the fans fire up, and Briscoe whips Ciampa into more barriers! Briscoe throws a chair into the ring, then he drags Ciampa up and in. Ciampa bails out, but Briscoe DIVES! Down goes Ciampa, and Briscoe just throws another chair into the ring! Briscoe CLUBS away on Ciampa, then brings him up.

Ciampa BODY SHOTS, but Briscoe sends Ciampa into the steel steps! Briscoe puts Ciampa in the ring, stomps him, then positions the chairs. Briscoe reels Ciampa in, underhooks, but Ciampa fights the lift! Ciampa then LOW BLOWS Briscoe! The fans boo but Ciampa just scowls. Ciampa then grabs a chair, and he SMACKS Briscoe on the back! Briscoe writhes, the fans boo, but Ciampa just stalks Briscoe to a corner. Ciampa DIGS a chair into Briscoe’s bad shoulder! The fans boo but Ciampa soaks up heat. Ciampa then brings Briscoe up, bumps him off buckles, and hoists him up top. Ciampa CHOPS, Briscoe sputters, but Ciampa gets the chairs!

Ciampa wants to recreate what put Briscoe on the shelf the past month! Ciampa JAMS Briscoe up with a chair first before putting it side-by-side with the other. Ciampa then climbs up, soaks up heat, and vows to end Briscoe once and for all! But then Kyle & Cassidy rush out here! Ciampa runs away from The Conglomeration, but he warns them all that he’ll get them for this! Briscoe grabs a mic to shout at Ciampa, “You ain’t nothin’ but a punk, son! You wanna do it like that? Sounds like to me Wednesday night, the only right thing to do is to make this ANYTHING GOES! NO DISQUALIFICATIONS!” The fans like the sound of that!

The Psycho Killer may have just stepped into it! Will there be nothing stopping Briscoe from doing anything he wants to Ciampa?

 

Samoa Joe & Anthony Bowens VS Jay Lethal & Lee Johnson w/ Blake Christian!

What a rich history of honor here, as two icons of ROH meet again here on Collision. The Samoan Submission Specialist helped build The Franchise Player’s foundation, and now both men mentor new proteges. But will The Lethal Twist see The Opps are #NeverLacking? Or will Lethal & Johnson make up for how Supercard of Honor went sour?

Winners: Samoa Joe & Anthony Bowens, by submission

The 5 Tool Player shows the power of Joe’s teachings, but he also gets the mic to say, “For the last year, I have been confused. But I have found solace and clarity in the fact that i Have found a group of men, The Opps, that understand everything I do for this business, everything I do for AEW, and everything I do for you!” The fans cheer, and Bowens continues by saying everywhere he goes, he represents the fans, because he is the Pride of Pro-Wrestling! He is your hero! And to be honest, for everything that he does, he deserves a standing ovation! Joe certainly applauds, and the fans here in Salisbury join in!

Bowens says if you’re asking what this change of attitude is about… This man, Samoa Joe, has been teaching Bowens all he needs to know: choices have consequences; and if you don’t like the way the table is set, you flip that table over and you choose violence! The fans cheer, and now Joe speaks on the mic. “Oh, Ospreaaaay~…! Do you understand what I do for my friends? But unfortunately, decisions have consequences, and you chose a different road, Will. So allow me to say this: I am truly beyond honored that you consider facing me a dream match.” The fans cheer that, but Joe says it’s just unfortunate that when he gets Ospreay in the ring, “it’ll be nothing but a nightmare.”

Joe & Bowens have made it clear that no matter who, no matter where, and no matter what, The Opps will not show mercy. Will nothing stop The Opps from taking it all here in AEW?

 

Backstage interview with #Brodido.

Lexy Nair is with Brody King & Bandido, and wants to talk the Owen Hart Tournament. Brody is set to face Claudio while Bandido is up against Swerve Strickland. Now, if they both win their matches, that pits them against teach other in the semifinals. But what they also needs to talk about is last night, Supercard of Honor, Bandido retained the title, only for Swerve to attack. Brody tells Swerve that he warned him about what would happen if Swerve messed with the people Brody cared about! Next time Brody sees Swerve, he’ll- Bandido stops Brody there, and says no, no, hermano. Bandido loves you, but this is Bandido’s battle, and Brody needs to respect that.

So Bandido tells Swerve that this is a battle Swerve will not win! Swerve may be the Most Dangerous, but Bandido is the Most Wanted! And after Double or Nothing when Bandido beats Swerve, Swerve won’t be a danger to anyone anymore! Both sides of Brodido have spoken, but will either of them knock down Swerve’s House? Or will Swerve’s thirst for power be satiated with the Owen Hart Cup?

 

AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship Eliminator 5 Minute Challenge: The Divine Dominion VS Allie Katch & Kaia McKenna!

Megan Bayne & Lena Kross established just how dominant they are in the first 5 Minute Challenge last week, yet it seems two more poor souls want to test their might. Will Allie & Kaia at least last longer than the previous team? Or will The Megasus & Aussie Amazon score the fatality?

The teams sort out, Megan starts against Allie, and the bell rings. We’re on the clock as Megan and Allie circle, then tie up. Megan powers Allie to the ropes, then CHOPS!

They send their opponents into each other, then DOUBLE LEAPING LARIAT! The fans fire up as Lena & Megan focus on Allie, DIVINE INTERVENTION! Cover, Divine Dominion wins!

Winners: The Divine Dominion, by pinfall (denies Allie Katch & Kaia McKenna a title match)

It was only one minute and 50 seconds this time, they’re only getting stronger! Will no duo ever remove Megan & Lena from the mountaintop?

 

AEW hears from the four fighting for the AEW Women’s World Championship.

Kris Statlander says, “At Double or Nothing, I face three women, one who I hate, one who I respect, and one who I’m still not sure about.” The hated one, Thekla, says there’s only one way this ends when she’s up against dumb b*tch after dumb b*tch after dumb b*tch. The respected one, Jamie Hayter, says she had the title stripped away from her and it’s eluded her ever since. And the uncertainty, Hikaru Shida, says even though it is every one for themselves, she knows she and Kris will be on the same page, just like always! Kris says y’know who really has her back? Kris herself! That’s all she needs! Jamie warns Thekla that she’s gonna find out, unfinished business is her favorite kind!

Thekla says Double or Nothing, the Toxic Spider destroys New York! A Fatal 4 Way of epic proportions await, will there be nothing left after the dust clears?

 

Backstage interview with Athena and Mina Shirakawa.

Lexy Nair is with the ROH Women’s World Champion and the Fighting Gravure Idol, and thanks them for accepting the No Physicality Agreement. They are on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Tournament, this has gotta be a tough one. Athena says maybe, maybe not, but the facts are this: Athena has been the ROH Women’s World Champion for over 1252 DAYS, and has left of dozens of bodies in her wake. Pretty sure Mina’s one of them. Mina says last year at All In, Athena broke Mina’s hand. Athena says so what! Last year at Death Before Dishonor, she kicked Mina’s ass all over the arena! Why does Mina think this match will be any different?

Mina laughs and says last night at Supercard, when she locked in the Figure Four on her opponent, she dreamt it was Athena. Athena says Mina is dreaming of her! So flattered! But she hopes Mina has the best dream tonight: Mina’s dead body in a ditch, next to her precious Toni Storm! Mina tells Athena that Mina has dreamt of winning The Owen and the AEW Women’s World title, while ending Athena! She can’t dream anymore, because now she will live it! Athena says sure, sure. They argue, but Lexy keeps them from getting physical! Will the Fallen Goddess be unstoppable even in AEW? Or will The Owen will be about #MinaNow?

 

Backstage interview with Lio Rush.

Nigel McGuinness tracked down The Problem Child, and walks over. Lio says hey, Nigel! Good to see you! He saw Nigel put in that work last night, he did great. He did really good. Nigel appreciates that, that’s what he wants to talk about. Specifically, what happened between Lio and his former tag team partner, Action Andretti. Action cost Lio the ROH World TV Championship, what is Lio’s response? Lio says it’s all fine! It’s fine! These things happen, Nigel. Losses happen, friends get upset. It’s fine. It’s fine. Lio keeps saying that, and Nigel says that is the official response. Lio again says it’s good to see Nigel.

But then Lio takes off his sunglasses to show off those creepy eyes. He smiles, and that black goo drools out… Lio continues to say it’s fine, but is it anything but fine? Or should Action learn to sleep with one eye open?

Backstage interview with Anna Jay.

Lexy Nair is with the Queenslayer and commends her on that great return match against Willow Nightingale a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to stop the Comeback Killer. Anna gives all the respect to Willow, her moves hurt. Maybe Anna dove into the deep end, but she didn’t drown. So while Willow is still TBS Champion, maybe Willow isn’t quite the Comeback Killer. Anna came back, is still here, and there is still a lot left for them to do. And by that, she means her and Tay Melo! The besties reunite, and Tay says if Anna is back, and she is back, then there’s one thing they gotta do.

Anna tells if they wanna find out what that is, #JustTryUs! TayJay is back again, but are they going to fight their way right to the Divine Dominion’s tag titles?

 

AEW World Championship No Count Outs: Darby Allin VS Sammy Guevara!

The Relentless One may have gotten MJF to accept the Double or Nothing challenge, but he is always up for a fight! The Spanish God still has the ROH World Tag Team Championship around his waist, but he wants even more gold to show off to his wife and daughter! Who gets what they want tonight to then head for Queens, New York?

As he makes his entrance, Sammy brings a table out from under the ring and sets it up ringside, planning ahead for the wild fight he and Darby are about to have! The introductions are made, and Darby kneels down with the belt, only for Sammy to STOMP him into it!! The ref reprimands, the fans boo, but Sammy holds up the belt as if he’s already won it! Sammy puts the belt aside, the bell rings, and Sammy KNEES Darby right outta the ring! Sammy THROWS Darby into railing, THROWS him in again, then goes back to his table! Sammy puts the table by the stage, then he drags Darby up. Sammy THROWS Darby into more railing! And more railing!

Sammy grabs a ladder and he brings it over to his table! The ref reprimands, there are no count outs but there are still disqualifications! Sammy doesn’t seem to care, he still stands his ladder up near that table. Sammy then lines up a shot, and he JUMP KNEES Darby back down! “I’m gonna be the world champion! Me! Not him!” Sammy drags Darby up, puts him on the table, and he rains down fists! Sammy climbs the ladder, goes to the very top, and reminds us that he’s loco! SUPER SWANTON BOMB through the table!! The fans go nuts as Darby and Sammy are both down in the wreckage!

The ref checks both men, and Sammy sits up first. Sammy drags Darby up with a headlock, brings him to the ring, and Sammy covers, TWO!! Darby survives and Sammy is furious! Sammy drags Darby up, torture racks, and GO TO- NO, Darby blocks and turns Sammy over! SCORPION DEATH LOCK!!! Sammy endures, reaches out, but Darby is looking dizzy! Darby falls over?!

Sammy is frustrated as Darby survives again. Sammy clamps on with a chinlock, not quite a bulldog choke, but Darby is still sputtering for air. The fans rally as hard as they can, and Darby rises up to fire body shots! Darby runs, but Sammy SUPERKICKS! Darby falls, Sammy covers, TWO!! Darby scrambles away but Sammy stalks him, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Sammy digs his boot into Darby’s face at the ropes, but the ref counts. Sammy stops, talks some trash, then stalks Darby to a corner. Sammy drags Darby up, whips him corner to corner hard, and Darby flounders out of the ring. Sammy pursues, drags Darby up, and he talks more trash on the fans. Sammy stands Darby up to ROCK him, then push him around. Sammy drags Darby up and THROWS him into railing! Sammy talks more trash, then walks around commentary so he can take a headset and tell everyone what he’s doing as he does it! He stomps Darby, taunts him, then has to go follow Darby around the way.

Sammy follows Darby into the ring, stands him up, but Darby fires hands! Sammy KNEES low, KNEES again and again, then ROCKS Darby! Darby falls over, but Sammy CHOKES Darby on the ropes! The ref counts, Sammy stops, and Darby coughs and sputters again. Sammy has the legs, he puts Darby under the ring, CATAPULT GUILLOTINE! Darby writhes and coughs again, but Sammy steps out to the apron. Sammy looms over Darby, drags him up by his chain, and Collision returns to single picture. Darby fights the suplex, then blocks a kick to FLIP Sammy! Sammy lands on his feet, but Darby SHOTGUNS Sammy down!

The fans fire up as Darby rises again! Darby has his second wind and he builds speed to DIVE! Into a CUTTER on the floor! Sammy puts Darby back in, Sammy springboards in, but into a REAR NAKED CHOKE!! Darby catches Sammy now and the fans fire up! Sammy flails, reaches out, but Darby pushes him down with his body weight! Sammy still endures, crawls forward, and reaches the ROPEBREAK! Darby lets go and the fans rally up again. Fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but this has to end somehow. Darby sees Sammy on the apron, and he goes to the corner! Darby climbs, but Sammy rolls to the far side.

Darby hops down, waits on Sammy to stand, and he runs up, but into an eye poke! Sammy hoe up, and he APRON DOUBLE STOMPS Darby down! Cover, TWO!!

Sammy goes out after Darby, and he brings out the other table! The fans rally as Sammy brings it over to set up by ringside. Sammy makes sure it is angled just right before he puts Darby on it. The fans boo, but then Sammy goes to the corner! Sammy climbs, reminds us again that he’s loco, and Sammy SUPER 630s only through the table!! Darby avoids disaster, then he puts Sammy back in! COFFIN DROP!!! Cover, DARBY WINS!

Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)

As if his reign wasn’t wild and reckless before, Darby just doubled down with Sammy here tonight! And yet, he’s now set for a showdown with Speedball in Portland! Will no one and nothing stop Darby Allin from doing this again and again? Or is he about to write a check his body can’t cash?


My Thoughts:

A great Collision that not only fed Double or Nothing but did a great job following up ROH Supercard of Honor, assuring fans that ROH does matter after all, despite the lack of building contenders and therefore new champions. I mean, Athena is STILL champion, even when Survival of the Fittest was the best way to dethrone her while protecting her. But good interaction from Athena and Mina ahead of their Owen Hart Cup match, and if Athena is going to still be champion even now, she might as well just be a finalist already. On the other end, it’d be great if Willow also got to the finals to potentially be a two-time Queen of Harts.

Speaking of Willow, great promo with Conglomeration, great match with Red Velvet, but with Velvet still the ROH Women’s World TV Champion, it makes sense that Willow retains her title. Great Six Man Tag from Conglomeration VS Shane Taylor Promotions, and The Conglomeration’s win helps them build momentum towards all their stories. Very good promo from Kyle, very good promo from Death Riders, and I feel like Kyle should at least last the 20 minute time limit to earn his title match with Moxley for Double or Nothing. Meanwhile, Cassidy & Roddy are NOT winning against FTR, FTR has to settle things with Cope & Christian first.

Ciampa going after Briscoe, that whole brawl, and then Briscoe upping the ante for Dynamite, that No Disqualification match is going to be awesome. Very good tag match of Joe & Bowens VS Lethal & Lee, with a good win for The Opps. Very good promo from Joe & Bowens after, and a very good promo from Ospreay, too. Joe VS Ospreay could be a show stealer, but I would think Ospreay wins so that his story with The Death Riders can be part of the Owen Cup. TayJay being back together is great, and I can see them going right at Divine Dominion and easily lasting the five minutes to then earn their title match later on.

Great Six Man Tag of Davis & Dogs VS Rascalz, but with Stadium Stampede looming, naturally Davis & Dogs won to bring momentum for their team. I’d expect The Demand to have their own tune-up for the three-hour super show go-home next week, but they might’ve announced that tonight if that were the case. Very good promo from Lio Rush to further this Jekyll & Hyde/Smeagle & Gollum type of gimmick for him. For those who didn’t watch Supercard (or haven’t read my article on it), Action Andretti turned on Lio Rush and partially blamed Lio’s new dark side for it. RIP CRU, we hardly knew you, but Action VS this Lio is going to be great stuff between AEW and ROH programming.

And of course, another insane instant classic from Darby Allin as he and Sammy use No Count Outs to get hardcore. Good bit of selling from Darby to tease his body giving out on him, but naturally he wins out. They might do a similar spot during his match against Speedball on Wednesday to make it seem MJF has a chance of taking the title at Double or Nothing.

My Score: 8.9/10
