SPEAKER_00 0:32

Look at that fake threadberry scum.

SPEAKER_04 0:33

Look at all that. I'm too poor for a real one. That's that's what's going on there. Uh a little unity. Little bling happening there.

SPEAKER_01 0:44

Hey.

SPEAKER_04 0:47

What's going on, y'all? We are so happy that you are back here joining us on our wonderful little corner of the internet. And who are we? We are none other none other than your latest and greatest and hopefully your favorites wrestling podcast in the land. That's right. That is the section eight wrestling podcasts. I am kills at Wills. I am Billy. And today, tonight, whenever it is you are tuning in, we are going to do what we always do, which is give you the WWE Weekly Wrestling Recap. That is Monday Night Raw.

SPEAKER_03 1:22

But first, we're gonna woo!

SPEAKER_04 1:26

Chuck it over to my man, Billy.

SPEAKER_03 1:28

He's gonna give us the Friday night SmackDown Rundown. Let's go, William.

SPEAKER_00 1:36

On through this, but we on chapter two. We are, kids, we are in Europe. We are in London specifically. One more, there we are. We are in London, England. Run down. SmackDown, they were there for Raw. And they were over there to go to Saudi Arabia the next night for the champions. But before that, pit stop in London.

SPEAKER_04 2:01

Yup.

SPEAKER_00 2:02

SmackDown kicks off with our US champion Trick Williams and Lil' Yahoo coming to the room. Trick. Whoa, that trick. Uh he was not in attendance the week before because he was off getting married to Last Legend. Uh so everybody did that. A little round of applause. Congratulations to the two of you. Uh so we talk about that, talking about his match because he wasn't there. He didn't see who won the match, but he found out Ricky Saints beat Carmelo Hayes to face him at Night of Champions. So with that being said, Ricky Saints comes out, they're a little back and forth with each other, and Ricky ends up getting a cheap shot on Lil Yachty. And then Lee. As Trick turns his back and kind of checks on Lil Yachty, uh, Ricky slides back in, hits Trick, slides back out, and there we go. So uh Ricky Saints is the one standing tall with a little bit of momentum heading into Knight of Champions.

SPEAKER_04 2:56

Well, alright. Going to the Knight of Champions turning in the right direction. There you go, Ricky. All right.

SPEAKER_00 3:01

Uh so we cut to the back. Um I forget who was conducting the interview. It was, I think it was Jackie. Uh, but she was talking to Alexa Bliss, uh, who this is about to be in a match with Miss Tiffany Stratton. Uh to take on Meechin and Bfab. Which takes The Baddies. So that goes right in the first match, the two Alexa and Tiffy taking on Mechin and Bfab. All right. Uh with no Charlotte to even the odds, Jade ends up interfering in the match. Um, and Bfab picks up the win. Oh, B Fab gets a win. That's what I'm talking about. Bfab hit her little finisher. It's kind of like uh the X Factor, but it was like a neck breaker into like an X Factor kind of thing. I don't know. Some sort of finisher, so she ends up getting the victory. Uh they start to corner Tiffy, and then Chelsea Green comes out to help, uh, running down the ramp with a kendo stick in hand, hits B Fab, and then goes to slide in the ring, but does a thing like where a dog tries to run through the doggy door with a stick, and it's just so the kendo stick got stuck on the ropes and like flew off back towards the ramp, so she's unarmed at the moment.

SPEAKER_02 4:14

Oh no, oh no, Chelsea.

SPEAKER_00 4:16

Yeah, so great. Uh, but she ends up coming out and ends up saving the day after all. Look at that. Look at Chelsea Green.

SPEAKER_01 4:23

Chelsea Green!

SPEAKER_00 4:24

Tiffany was very happy to see her and gave her big hugs like thanks for the help, and that was the match.

SPEAKER_04 4:30

Well, we might have a little friendship forming.

SPEAKER_00 4:32

I have a feeling we might see a three-on-three match coming up soon between the three of them and the baddies and Jade.

SPEAKER_02 4:37

Alright, cool.

SPEAKER_00 4:38

Alright, so next up we cut to the back where Solo Sokoa is talking to Tala and Tama Tonga. Um long story short, they were not pleased that Solo came out when they asked him not to. They lost their tag team belts. Um so basically, Tala said the elders left them a message, I don't know who the elders are in question, but basically told them to leave solo. Oh, Tala Tanga and Tamatanga are no longer with the MFT, and Solo is on his own. Well, there we are. Well, there we are in tons of that. Uh next up, we see Jay Cargill. She runs into Nick all this and demands that she have a match with Chelsea Green later on and to book it, and that's what happens. All right.

SPEAKER_04 5:30

More wrestlers just calling their own shots.

SPEAKER_00 5:33

Pretty much love it. Uh, which brings us to our next match. It has Ray Phoenix defending his Triple A cruiserweight championship against Nathan Fraser. Oh, okay. Yeah. So he fought Axiom a few weeks ago in s uh in Spain, and now he's fighting uh Nathan Fraser, kind of kind of hometown for him too, in London. Okay. It was a fantastic. And again, hashtag bring back the cruiserweights. Bring back the cruiserweights, man. Uh they have the guys, they have the talent. Just give them the belt.

SPEAKER_04 6:05

Or, I mean, there is a triple A cruiserweight belt. Just starting to see. This is the second time we've seen it on SmackDown matchup. Just start, just put that into rotation, man. Like, you know, put it into rotation.

SPEAKER_00 6:14

And I'm fine with that too. I just want to take more of these cruiserweights because these guys are always scrappy. They always seem like they're hungry and they always just want more.

unknown 6:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:23

So they always deliver great matches. Yeah. Uh so in the end, it was high flying, lots of fun. Nathan Frazier actually had a few very close pinfalls where I actually thought he was going to win. But in the end, Ray Phoenix and still AAA cruiserweight champion. It was probably my match of the night. Uh go back and check it out. Uh, afterwards, uh, Ray Phoenix kind of did a bow like a like of out of respect just for being a hell of a match.

SPEAKER_02 6:50

There you go. That's what's up. Ray Phoenix is great, man. I love Ray Phoenix.

SPEAKER_00 6:54

Next up, we see uh WWE tag team champions, R Truth and Damien Priest. They're talking to Byron Saxon in the back saying that now that they defended their titles, you know, what's next? And Damien Priest is like, well, all these other tag teams are around, we just want to see what's out there, and then we hear somebody yell Priest and Truth, out come the War Raiders. Oh, the War Raiders have not been seen on WW TV for a bit. They've been holding it down at Triple A for a minute. So now that Priest and Truth don't have any opponents, the War Raiders are like, hey, you got gold, we have gold, let's put it all on the line.

SPEAKER_02 7:31

A boy.

SPEAKER_00 7:32

Yeah. So R Truth, uh, after talking about what they have next plans for for the clubhouse in the judgment day that they're not a part of, um basically he turns into Scott Hall for some reason, and he's like, Oh, you want the match, huh? And he like flicks a toothpick at him, he's like, whoa, blah, blah, blah. Like, kinda I don't know, it's kind of weird, but it's just truth being truth, and it was great. So basically, uh, long story short, we don't know when, we don't know where, but it will be titles for titles, I'm assuming at SummerSlam.

SPEAKER_04 8:02

Okay. Yeah. Uh, I mean, I wonder if it if it's hmm, I wonder if they might even stretch that out to Triple A. Uh they had another triple A, their triple mania is coming up. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 8:16

So yeah, either one of the shows. But it'll be definitely one of the pay-per-view shows in its own.

SPEAKER_04 8:21

The War Raiders actually beat, actually won the titles off of Pagato and Psycho Clown, and they're involved in this really crazy like storyline and triple A. It's actually pretty pretty cool.

SPEAKER_00 8:32

The War Raiders are a lot of fun.

SPEAKER_04 8:33

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 8:34

Like I said, they have been on TV for a bit, so if you go back and watch any of their matches, Eric and Ivar, they knew like big men should not move.

SPEAKER_04 8:41

Right.

SPEAKER_00 8:42

They're a lot of fun to watch.

SPEAKER_04 8:43

They are. They are, indeed. Indeed.

SPEAKER_00 8:46

Uh so next up, we see uh LA Knight pull up and she runs into him, and he's she's like, Well, we heard you were coming, but why are you on SmackDown? Because he's a raw guy. And he's like, Well, you're just gonna have to find out like the rest of them, yeah. And then he heads out to the room. So LA Knight is there to confront Solo Sokola, because Solo's been getting involved in his affairs, trying to kind of get him on his side to take on the bloodline, and LA Knight's like, no, I just don't want to do that. Uh so yeah, Solo just comes out, he's like, Join me, help me take on the bloodline, and he's like, Ah, not gonna happen.

SPEAKER_01 9:19

No, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:21

Uh and then he leaves. So once again, Solo Soko is alone in the ring. Uh next match, we get one half of the women's tag team champions, Paige. Uh also a homecoming for her.

SPEAKER_02 9:36

A little home game. Yep.

SPEAKER_00 9:37

Going up against JC Jane, the leader of Fatal Influence.

SPEAKER_02 9:40

Ugh. JC Jane.

SPEAKER_00 9:42

Yeah. Uh let me just say it's it's a fine match. JC Jane really shines. Uh she she's we're gonna be seeing a lot of her in the game.

SPEAKER_04 9:53

As we should, yeah, man. She's great.

SPEAKER_00 9:55

Long so short, Paige ends up getting another roll-up and the win.

SPEAKER_04 9:58

As she should.

SPEAKER_00 10:00

I I don't know why Bree and Paige get nothing but roll-up victories. Um, Paige is actually a legit wrestler.

SPEAKER_01 10:07

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 10:07

Um, so I don't know why they're not having her do a little more. But here we are.

SPEAKER_01 10:12

Here we are.

SPEAKER_00 10:14

So after that, we see uh Los Garza. They are looking for Dan Housen because the Knicks won.

SPEAKER_02 10:24

They did.

SPEAKER_00 10:25

So apparently Los Garza put money on the Spurs, the Spurs lost, so he owes them money.

SPEAKER_04 10:31

That's not how that works, but okay.

SPEAKER_00 10:33

So Dan Housen's in the lab. He's checking out his newest experiments, Kit Wilson and the Miz, who have a roguelike white streak in their hair.

SPEAKER_02 10:41

Oh boy.

SPEAKER_00 10:42

Uh Matt Cardona walks in and he's uh basically checking on him. He's like, Yeah, I'm fine. He's like, Yeah, ever since I got shot last week, I've been wanting to say woo and all that kind of stuff. He's like, ah, it's fine. So then Dan Housen disappears. Uh, and it cuts to them going to the ring. Dan Housen comes out with Miz and Kit, and they are walking like the walking dead. Kit's walking like into the barricade, the Miz is just yelling, whoo, rah, and awesome. It's like there's they're those old toys where you pull the string like Woody in the Toy Story, where he says phrases. That's basically what Kit Wilson and the Miz are about. Wow. Yep. Uh so they're going out there, Dan Housen's like, check out my new experiments, they're great. He's hosting Miz TV. He's like, hey, the Miz, how do you feel about me hosting your show? And he's like, Awesome. So they're just having a whole lot of fun.

SPEAKER_02 11:30

Good lord.

SPEAKER_00 11:30

So Los Garza come out and they kind of clear the ring a bit. Uh Miz and Kit Wilson are helpless, basically. So Matt Cardona comes out. So we have two on two. Nick August comes out and says, We're gonna make this a match. Since there are four of you who can kind of fight of the six. So Matt Cardona and Dan Housen take on Angel and Birdo of Los Garza. And it's a match that you expect Dan Housen to be in. Uh Matt Cardona was the like the muzzle, like the actual, the straight guy, if you if you want to do it. Dan Housen gets tagged in. Miz and Kit Wilson are just kind of wandering around and doing whatever. Uh Dan Housen ends up cursing Birdo, I believe. So the sparks fly off the post and he flips off, and your winners are Dan Housen and Matt Cargo.

SPEAKER_04 12:20

Still undefeated, Dan Hausen. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:26

So good. After that, we cut to the back. We see Tala Tonga and Tama Tonga uh walking out with their suitcases. They run into Finn Balor, one of the newest members of SmackDown. And Finn's like, hey man, it's good to see you because him and Tama apparently have some history going back to it.

SPEAKER_04 12:40

Yeah, they they they teased that a little bit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:43

Yeah. So he was like, it's good to see you kind of on your own and following yourself. Uh, you know, we used to we had stuff in the past, blah, blah, blah. And then Tom was like, We did. And Shinsuke was also in my past. And we saw how that ended. Uh-huh. And then they walked away. So we could be seeing Tom and Finn Balor in the future.

SPEAKER_04 13:03

You know, d I remember uh in in the middle or some out of last year when Triple H told us, don't worry, Finn Balor fans, 2026 is gonna be his year. We're in July. Still waiting on that. Still waiting on that. And then people would say, Well, what about WrestleMania? I would I would counter with, well, that was the demon.

SPEAKER_00 13:22

That was the demon, and it was announced before we saw the demon. So anyway. So hopefully we get more Finn Balor on SmackDown. He's not even in matches. Like he's not just showing up backstage.

SPEAKER_02 13:35

Correct. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:37

Yeah. See, we're we're on we're thinking like, give us more Finn Balor.

SPEAKER_04 13:42

More Finn Balor, please. Please. Like he like you said you would. Yeah, you promised.

SPEAKER_00 13:51

Next up, uh the next match is the aforementioned, one of my favorite words. Yeah. Match between Jade Cargill and Chelsea Green. This match was okay. It was a very slow match.

SPEAKER_02 14:04

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 14:04

Um, so it didn't look like there was a lot of running. It was more kind of walking briskly and like still kind of do like running spots and uh it just wasn't the cleanest of matches. Um but Chelsea is still fun to watch. Yes. Uh still a blast. Okay. Uh Jade ends up getting the win and continues her beatdown of Chelsea Green, which brings out Tiffy and Alexa Bliss. It's Tiffy time in the baddies. So they all come out and they beat each other up, and Jade and the baddies stand tall in the end.

SPEAKER_04 14:39

Okay. Jade and the baddies going going getting a heavy Jade putting her uh putting her foot down before not a champion.

SPEAKER_00 14:47

So in her best little new looking outfit, it's all yellow.

SPEAKER_04 14:50

There you go. There you go.

SPEAKER_00 14:52

Uh we see Royce Keys. He offers luck to Solo in the back. Alright. He's like, you know, Jacob's coming for you. He's like, okay. Are you gonna help me like I helped you? He's like, good luck, man. And he just walks out.

SPEAKER_02 15:07

Cool, cool. Good talk. Good talk.

SPEAKER_00 15:10

So we'll throw it into our next match, which is uh this match we've been hearing about for the last couple weeks. It's Julia versus Keanu James. So this is once again another kind of uh hometown return for Julia as she was born in London. As but she's Japanese and Italian and whatever, but she was born in London. Uh so they announced it a few weeks ago, ever since uh Keanu thought that Julia screwed her out of the Queen of the Ring tournament.

SPEAKER_04 15:40

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 15:40

Uh and then they turned on each other. So we get this match. This match was great.

unknown 15:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 15:45

Both women looked fantastic. The match was a lot of fun to watch. But in the end, Julia is your winner.

SPEAKER_04 15:53

These two should have fought when Julia was still the United States champion. Agreed. Yeah, it should have been a thing.

SPEAKER_00 15:59

But the highlight of that segment, it's not the match. It was, in fact, Blake Monroe finally making her grand entrance.

SPEAKER_04 16:11

Well, also makes sense that in London. That that makes sense. They probably should have just waited for this then. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:17

But like a month ago, we started seeing like Vinny, it's like she's coming, and then the last couple weeks, uh, she's been cutting video packages. Uh the last one was about Julia.

SPEAKER_04 16:27

Yeah, she's mad at this person, then she's mad at this person. Yeah, the last person she turned to the diary and everything as well. Yeah, the last person she turned her her eye towards was Julia, yes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:37

So she has finally graced us with her presence.

SPEAKER_04 16:39

Well, alright, PlayFunro. Come on, bring it, girl.

SPEAKER_00 16:43

Which brings us, kids, haters, to our main event segment of the evening. Segment. Yeah, segment. It is WWE champ Cody Rhodes, heads on out. But before he even speaks, he gets the big pop, he gets all the pyro, it's his pyro. The people chanting.

SPEAKER_04 17:15

Gets to be gets to be the politician.

SPEAKER_00 17:18

Before he gets to speak a word, Sammy Zayn's music hits.

SPEAKER_03 17:23

Let's go!

SPEAKER_00 17:25

So Sammy comes out, apologizes for his faulty ref stint uh a couple weeks ago. Cody tells him to stop playing the victim. All he does is play the victim.

SPEAKER_04 17:34

I mean, I mean, Cody's not wrong. Not wrong. There's a reason why we keep things like this handy for old Sammy because yeah, man, he just hee he last real good guy is apparently the last fake victim.

SPEAKER_00 17:51

So it also Cody also brings up, he's like, I don't even know how you're friends with Kevin Owens, because at least that guy has held this before. And it's like, oh Sammy's like, don't bring up Kevin Owens. You can't tell him Kevin Owens. Uh so he's like, the only reason Sammy says the only reason Cody is champ is because of him, and the only reason he will not be champion anymore is because of him.

SPEAKER_02 18:16

Which I thought was a good one. That is so.

SPEAKER_00 18:18

Yeah. Because he had a fast count on Gunther, so Cody retained. But he's also saying he's gonna win the championship. So it was it was a very good line, it was very well delivered.

SPEAKER_02 18:27

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 18:27

Uh so after that, Gunther is tired of all the squabbling. So he comes out and he calls Sammy basically a non-factor. Uh he's like, he will face the king of the ring, uh, whoever that may be, and then Jay Uso's music is sure.

SPEAKER_02 18:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 18:45

So he comes out, uh he says, you know, uh, I'll take on Cody, because you know you're easy to find. Sammy, whatever. Like, even if you're honorary oose, like I'll still take you on if you're champ. He's like, but actually, I kind of want Gunther to do it so I can beat him like I beat him at WrestleMania. So then a little brawl ensues. Uh I think Jay kicks Gunther. Sammy hits somebody, he gets thrown out. Gunther gets super kicked by Jay and Cody, so they stare off for in the Super Kick party. Pretty much. So they're staring at each other for a bit. Um, and then Oba Femi comes out.

SPEAKER_01 19:26

Oh! Mm-hmm. Oh man.

SPEAKER_00 19:32

Oh, he comes out, gets his full-on entrance, makes it down to the apron. He's standing there, him and Jay are kind of looking at each other. Oh, let's see. Jay and Cody stare down, Oba makes his presence felt. Jay kicks Cody and stares down Oba. Gunther gets in the ring, then hits Jay, and then stares at Oba. Sammy hits Gunther with the title, then stares at Oba. Then Cody comes in, crossroads Sammy, holds the belt, stares at Oba. And that's a high-based. Well. Well, a lot of a lot of hits and stare downs.

SPEAKER_04 20:08

Stare at Obes.

SPEAKER_00 20:10

Because after Knight of Champions, there were a lot of like it could be this guy going against this guy. There were a lot of different variables and whatever.

SPEAKER_04 20:20

Lot of different lot of different timelines, a lot of different ways we could go. Well, that was the SmackDown before uh Knight of Champions. Thank you, billion. Very well done. Appreciate it. Appreciate it, man. So check this out, y'all. If we we did a review for Knight of Champions, we did a prediction and then we did a review for Knight of Champions. So if you want to stop here, go watch Knight of Champions, and you can jump on back because we're going to talk about the Monday Night Raw after Knight of Champions.

SPEAKER_01 20:48

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.

SPEAKER_00 20:57

Comments down below, Chase. Anyway, let's take a look at Roll, please.

SPEAKER_04 21:02

Also, real quick, I know everybody's kind of like, man, Kills, what you doing rocking all that AEW kind of looking stuff. Look, also, what happened in the weekend before Monday Night Raw, there's a little thing called Forbidden Door. I went and got myself some gear from a man MJF, and uh I I rocked it because it's new. And hey, when I get some new WWE stuff for new whatever, I'm gonna rock that too. So we just go ahead and do it.

SPEAKER_00 21:26

Yeah, you also thing called Forbidden Door. That little thing was six hours long, kids.

SPEAKER_04 21:31

That little thing was it was it was actually one of their big things. We're gonna talk about it. We're gonna have a whole big old thing. We'll get on that later. We're talking about Monday Night Raw, which took place in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Bing Oba comes out to the ring because he is your um uh uh King of the Ring winner, and there's a choice to be made. Uh, he's got to choose a champion to fight. Muck Lesnar. Standard Champion comes on out. Lesnar comes on out now. It's been speculated we thought he was going to come out and ruin the day and this and that, but no, he comes out now, comes out now wearing track pants and not jeans because he's tired of ripping those pants. He comes out and he basically says that he doesn't watch the show billion. Mr. Heyman watches the show, so Mr. Heyman's been telling me that, man, you talk an awful lot. I mean, it turns out you can also cut a pretty good promo, which I can't do because that's you know, that's why I have Mr. Heyman do that.

SPEAKER_00 22:23

I love that Brock was cutting this promo himself too.

SPEAKER_04 22:26

That was great. So yeah, he he comes out and says, Well, look, man, you've been calling me this, you've been calling me a coward, you've been calling me a bitch, but look, you talk shit, you get hit, and he kicks Oba in the penis and he attempts to leave. And Oba goes, Hey man, nah. Uh, me and you at SummerSlam. And Brock goes, Haha, cool, one step further, hell in a cell at SummerSlam. You go on ahead and let me know. Uh yeah, he accepted.

SPEAKER_00 23:01

Yeah. And again, that's something else that we called a couple weeks ago. We're like, this match is it's gonna be in some sort of cage or something, and it's hell in a cell, and they are not it is not gonna hold us too. At least I hope it doesn't.

SPEAKER_04 23:13

We have not had a hell in a cell since Drew NCM Punk. Uh Hell in a Cell used to have its own pay-per-view, so this is actually kind of big. I still wish it was last man standing, but that's okay. We figured it would be some kind of stipulation for round three, and here we are. Uh Pierce is talking to Paul Heyman backstage, and Paul Heyman's like, yo, man, you need to make this match official. Like, how could you not make this official? Austin Theory comes up and he's like, Hey, Paul, I didn't even know you were here, and Heyman's like, well, now you know. And like, totally ghosts is him and walks off. So, like, I don't know what's going on.

SPEAKER_00 23:44

Can I just say real quick before we can say too quick Paul Heyman thing? Uh I love when Paul and Brock got out of the ring before Oba called him out. Uh, he's like, that was a good promo.

SPEAKER_04 23:59

That was a great promo. That was great. Uh Oba comes up talking to Pierce. He's mad, of course. How could you be? How could you not be? And Oba says that he is willing to forego his championship shot so that he can have a match, so he can accept Brock's challenge.

SPEAKER_00 24:15

Because he's like the title's not going anywhere. So apparently it's uh kind of a money in the bank thing at this point where he can kind of cash it down any money wants.

SPEAKER_04 24:23

Which look I know. However, we get there at this point. Uh by the way, I wouldn't be doing my job, Billy, if I didn't tell you and the rest of the people at home that, hey, all, it has been one hundred and seventy-seven days since Oba Femi vacated an NXT title, and he is not a champion of any kind uh at this point. So just to keep just to put it. But he is King Oba. He didn't win King of the Ring, and he will be taking on Brock Lesnar in SummerSlam at Hell in the Cell. So we'll see. This brings us to our first match of the night. It is all ego, Ethan Page against the the the the new wonder against Father Time, Rey Mysterio. Um Ethan Page threatens the take off the mask again, because that was the big thing. Last week, Ethan Page took off Ray's mask. Uh Ethan Page does this big backdrop onto the top onto the top turnbuckle uh to Ray. That was a Yeah, that was a really, really good move. Um that was awesome. Uh it's a it's a really good match. These two are really great. Ray Mysterio gets the win. It's a clean win, it's a straight-up victory. Uh Ray takes it over Ethan. So there you go. Boom. Point made. We shoot backstage. JD, JD and Dom go into Danhausen's lab. Now, they're still looking for this supposed $100,000 they gave to Danhausen. Um, and so uh Dom's like, oh, okay, you know what? Maybe we should take something to try to lure Danhausen out, try to bring him to us. So they take, all we see is them taking uh a thing off the wall. It says New York Knicks on the back. So you know it's some kind of gift from the New York Knicks. So what's funny about this whole thing is when they come in, JD tells Dom, hey, don't touch anything. You remember what happened last time. Then before they leave, JD goes, hey, we should wreck the place. Like I thought you said Don't touch anything. So um we leave it at that. Uh we cut to a promo, we are in the ring, uh, say his name, and he appears. I'm a leaving. Uh he is gonna put on a concert uh in honor of the Street Prophets winning the tag team champions. They they want all the smoke. Uh a little cheers to the to the street profits, man. Good for them.

SPEAKER_00 26:42

Welcome back.

SPEAKER_04 26:46

Uh um and since Logan Paul's not there, Joe Hendry puts his target of the song to Austin Theory. Austin Theory comes out, he doesn't like that. Austin Theory says, hey man, you're gonna have to put the titles up next week, and Braun's gonna be back. But you know, I want to fight Joe Hendry right now. Which brings us to our next match. It is Joe Hendry versus Austin Theory. Joe Hendry wins. He beats him clean. It's an okay match. Uh yeah, uh Theory needs work, not not so much in the ring. He's good in the ring. He needs he's something really good in the ring. He just needs a better He needs to be he needs to be looked at the way that they're looking at Braun and Trick and Oba and like he needs to be in this crop of he needs to be pushed. He's really good in the ring. But this brings us to a promo. Um Raquel basically makes herself a match against Maxine Dupree because she's like, yo, I should be going after the Intercontinental title. Like, what are we doing here? And it's like, you know what? Uh you you you're right. And so she her and Maxine are going to be fighting for a number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship match later. Um Liv wants to make sure that things are set and she's worried about Eo coming for a title. Liv, of course, trying to make everything about her, and you could tell the tensions between the the judgment day and and her, and that's a whole thing. EO Sky comes on out. She is your queen of the ring, and the the the the one person that billiam got right from gate to gate, he called it. Nailed it, he knew it. He's the big winner. Uh EO comes out and says, I'll beat Liv again and be the champion. Liv Morgan comes out and she basically says, You got lucky because I got cursed by Danhausen. That's the only reason you beat me. Oh, right.

SPEAKER_00 28:34

We didn't even mention that at Night of Champions. Dan Housen's cursed by the channel.

SPEAKER_04 28:36

Dan Housen, yeah, yes. Danhausen comes out and then Liv comes out and then Danhausen basically curses her and then she slaps him. But yes, Liv got Liv got cursed, and she's basically like, now I don't respect you. And I'm gonna beat you at Judgment Day. Uh because I'm the greatest women's champion. Um Judgment Day comes out, but Eo fights them off, but it's a it's a numbers game. You know, um rest of the rest of the judgment day gone and get her. Liv puts EO in a submission, and security has to come and get her off. And so now we have to build this thing for about five more weeks. So we'll see how they one up each other and get y'all ready for Liv vs. EO.

SPEAKER_00 29:25

Yeah, I like how Liv's uh using the single Boston crab uh now. Like she has a submission and she's using it, so it's cool.

SPEAKER_04 29:32

And Liv Morgan can can run run in them heel boots, man. She does not miss a beat. Got it. Uh this brings us to our next match. It is a run it back match from last week. It's LA Knight. Yeah. Yeah. Versus Big Jim. Jimmy Uso. Uh Jay comes out with Big Jim. He decides to sit and do commentary. Uh he's he's trying to start this Justice for Jay campaign because he believes Oba tapped out. Uh Jay on commentary is as funny as you think Jay on commentary would be. Uh uh LA Knight uh at one point Jay basically goes like, see, LA Knight, man. See, LA Knight LA Knight thinks he's all cool with the fam. He can't just, you know, he can't just ride up to the barbecue, man. He can't come to the cookout. Cole, you you're invited. So LA Knight, LA Knight does this whole thing where he's like, okay, Jay, you better not get involved, you better not do anything to blah blah blah. And then at one point he like fakes like he's gonna throw Big Jim into him, and then he actually kicks him. So of course that prompts Jay to try to get involved. LA Knight takes him out, Big Jim takes advantage, so the winner is Jimmy Uso. Uh the Usos try to jump LA Knight, but Solo Sakola comes out and takes out Big Jim. So we have some dissension going on here. And we're in the uh we get a recap of a little playback from at the end of Night of Champions. Apparently, Nick Aldous and Gunther got into it heavy, and we are told that Nick Aldous is on administrative leave till further notice. Gunther was sent home, and Adam Pierce is going to be running Monday Night Raw and SmackDown till further notice.

unknown 31:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 31:18

Cool. Great. Uh backstage the Ooshers are talking to Jacob. Jacob reminds us that he uh uh said he was going to acknowledge the tribal chief, not Big Jim, and definitely not Jay's punk ass. He wants to make that very, very clear. Not Jay's punk ass. Not his punk ass. Jay says he's gonna go to SmackDown. He's gonna go talk to Sola Sakoa, he's gonna go handle it. And Jay says, Well, I'm going with you, because I want to talk to Sami Zayn, because I need to talk to him about my title shop. Huh. And Jacob's like, alright, whatever. So then we get a little video package. Uh Lyra is emo now. We can tell by the new little hair. She's all the shoveled. And all that. And, you know, she does make a kind of an interesting kind of thing where she goes, Yeah, Bailey's been on the on the borderline of snapping and going off, and no one says anything, and I lose my cool one time, and everybody's ready to throw, you know, bury me, burn me, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So, yeah, Lyra, Lyra is not happy about about the flax she's been getting, Billy.

SPEAKER_00 32:22

I'm happy about the heel turn.

SPEAKER_04 32:24

I am happy about the heel turn. Uh, Chad and Maxine are talking backstage. Maxine's kind of walking and she kind of stops and she's going, hey, you know, I I I I I still meant everything I said, but I could have handled it better. And uh Chad's like, hey, you have a match to go worry about. Go handle that. We'll we'll settle that up at a later time. That brings us to our number one contender match for the women's intercontinental title. It is Raquel Rodriguez first Maxine Dupree. There's really nothing to write home about. Raquel Rodriguez wins as she should because what are we doing with Maxine Dupree? That's nothing. That's right. Sure. Uh Danhausen checks his lab, says, dang, every people jacked it up, and they took my New York Knicks jersey, and Liv Morgan comes in. She goes, You better fix things with the judgment day, or we're gonna make your life difficult. So uh this brings us to a match. It's Chad Gable versus J.D. McDonough. Don comes out with uh with the Danhausen jersey. Um there's a standing Spanish fly by JD McDonough, which is always so good. Like just straight, it's a running and then a turn into a flipped Spanish fly. JD McDonough's great. We have a moonsaul reverse, moon a moonsault reverse into an ankle lock by Chad. That was really good. We have an almost it's you know, when you when they do a Spanish fly on the top rope, is you know, they stand m you know, most times the stand the person stands next to you and it's just so flip. This the way that JD did this, it started like a belly-to-belly and then like turned into a Spanish fly. That was really good. This was the match of the night, honestly. Chad Gable versus JD McDonough. This was really entertaining. Uh Dan Housen does come out with a briefcase. And for anybody who's watched Saturday morning cartoons and have paid attention to Dan Housen to this point, we all know what's in the briefcase, but you know, we have to play this out. The winner is Chad Gable. Uh, because he brought drops he puts the he puts the briefcase down. Dom chases him off, and JD's like, Where are you going? Chad takes advantage. Um I'm not even going to talk about Chad Gable's music. Oh, well, here, here's what I will say. In AEW, there's a guy named Will Ospreay, and it's spraying. I think they're trying to do that with this Gable thing. They're trying to get this clap going. It's just a cable. Like it's so terrible. It's so genetic.

SPEAKER_03 34:48

America, Gable! Gable come to save the mother. Dang. America, Gable.

SPEAKER_04 35:02

That's what it that's what it is for now. That's what we're doing now. Needless to say, Dan Houser gets his jersey back. They open up the briefcase. Of course, it's like an acme poof of smoke. Does get attacked by Raquel, though, and she gets the jersey back. So the judgment day do have the jersey. Uh backstage Maxine is kind of nursing her wounds. Austin Theory comes up and he's just like, So if you're willing to forgive Chad, then maybe this isn't gonna work out. And he walks away and she's like, But, but, but Austin. And then Tizal and Otis come up, they're like, What's up, babe?

SPEAKER_03 35:37

And she's like, It it doesn't things are complicated.

SPEAKER_04 35:41

And then she walks off. Cool.

SPEAKER_03 35:45

That brings us to our main event promo of the evening.

SPEAKER_04 36:04

Everybody put your ones up. It's not acknowledgement day, but when you're Roman Reigns, you're the champ. Every day is acknowledgement day. The OTC comes out with Jacob Fatou. Of course, Atlantic City.

Seth freaking Rowland comes out and he basically just comes out as like, yeah, I've I've come to collect. Um and Roman Reigns is like, oh, you're looking for a title shot. What you talk about, son? You're in the back of the line now. And Seth hits him with, Oh man, when it comes to you, I'm always in the front of the line. I mean, because I mean I I've owned you anywhere we've decided to go for the last 14 years. Should we talk about WrestleMania 41, where I beat you and stole your wise man? Should we talk about WrestleMania 40 where because of my distraction I helped Cody beat you? Should we talk about WrestleMania 31, the greatest cash-in of all time, where I made your main event and made it null and void because I took that shit. Like, I'm the guy that's I'm always in the front of the line when it comes to you. And we need to settle this, man. You've done it all. You've done everything there is to do, damn near in this in this business, except beat me. And I'm gonna put a little stamp on it, a little little cherry on top. I'm getting uh Father Time is undefeated. You're getting older, I'm getting older. There's not that much time left for us to do this, so this is the time to do this, so it's gotta be done. And so Set uh so Seth throws out that challenge and Roman's like, You're right, you know. Uh uh uh Um That's that's one of the first times in the long time you've actually spoken the truth. Because you're right. I don't I don't want to beat you. I need to beat you. It's like Ronnie Austin. Yeah. So at SummerSlam There you go. It's going down, everybody. We're gonna get this nice, wonderful, full circle complete moment that's been coming ever since Seth Rollins hit Roman Reigns in the back with that chair with a Dean Ambrose looking at him like, What we're gonna get it, and that was raw, and that was the week.
