Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for November 29, 2019
Roman Reigns shows up to start tonight's show. Roman talks about Thanksgiving being about family, good health and happiness and how he only had one of those things this time last year, and thanks the fans for their support over the past year. He also talks about SmackDown winning the men's Survivor Series match on Sunday, and thanks Ali, Shorty G and Braun Strowman for their teamwork. He then brings up King Corbin, calling him "that one dummy on the team." He says that "the dummy" should be thanking him, and brings out King Corbin so he can thank Roman and apologize. Corbin shows up and says he eliminated two people before he betrayed the team and got him eliminated, and accuses Roman of being selfish and having ulterior movies, because he was going to be sole survivor and get the job done. Roman tells him he didn't get the job done, then gives him a chance to do it tonight by facing him in a match. Corbin says Roman does not have him fooled, then says he had a very good Thanksgiving while Roman had a crummy one. Corbin then says he doesn't have to put on a fake smile, eat the same food as Roman, and live in a place where the food is worse than the football. He then tells Roman to fight someone else who won on Sunday - Robert Roode - and get wheeled out on a stretcher.
Roman Reigns beats Robert Roode despite the constant interference and distractions by Baron Corbin and Dolph Ziggler. After the match, Ziggler attacks Roman, and while Roman fights back, the numbers game catches up in the form of Roode and Corbin. Roode then grabs Corbin's staff and tries to bash his head in, but Roman dodges it and Superman Punches Roode. Roman, seeing that the staff dented the steel chair his head was on, goes after Roode and Spears him through an announce table. Roman then smacks Ziggler over the guardrail with some steel steps as Ziggler confronts him, then tumbles another announce table on top of Roode.
It's time for Firefly Fun House. He says that he is thankful for the WWE Universal Championship, and after thinking that "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt should have a title of his own, he asks the kids if they want to see him face Daniel Bryan again. He then says that he can make Daniel's wish come true and change his life for the better if Daniel lets him in.
We see a silhouette state that SmackDown used to be a land of opportunity with fierce opponents, but now all he sees are a bunch of misfits and cowards. He says that nobody on the brand is like him, and says it is the time to return and break down everyone and everything in his way of making SmackDown his. The silhouette is then revealed to be Sheamus, who has not been seen in months.
Mustafa Ali beats Drew Gulak.

Sasha Banks and Bayley show up. Sasha says they are not here for a "rah rah" speech, and Sasha says she did not choose her team, because if she did, her team would have won with her eyes closed. Bayley calls the SmackDown women's team's loss an embarrassment, then says SmackDown lost because the entire locker room let her and Sasha down. Sasha says that the weak link of her team is the rest of the team, and looks down on the rest of the team while Bayley says they would have won if Lacey Evans didn't keep sipping her tea. Lacey suddenly shows up and says she is not in the mood for lip from Sasha and Bayley, saying she wouldn't trust them to lead the chicken dance at a garden party. She then says that if Bayley and Sasha want to hide behind excuses for their failures, then it is time for a woman with class, style, confidence and sophistication who wouldn't tap out under pressure to take over the SmackDown women's division. When Lacey makes fun of Bayley tapping out to "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler, Sasha confronts Lacey only to eat a Woman's Right.
Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Daniel Bryan when Bray Wyatt suddenly shows up on the nearby monitor for a remix of the "Muscle Man Dance' song. Daniel Bryan is then seen thinking about whether or not to take Wyatt's challenge.
Before the next match, Mandy Rose makes fun of Nikki Cross' appearance, saying she looks like "a cold plate of Thanksgiving leftovers."

Suddenly, Elias shows up and says he has returned from a journey, then plays his guitar to sing that he has returned while taking a dig at Drake Maverick.
The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) show up. Big E talk about his and Kofi Kingston's Thanksgiving, then talk about Black Friday and how they have decided to open for business with an open challenge for the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships. Suddenly, Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro show up, and Sami says it makes him sick to his stomach when The New Day romanticize "a holiday for the gluttonous masses" that symbolizes "imperialistic evil" while trivializing Black Friday. He then says it is time that the SmackDown tag titles were held by men who can see through the nonsense in the form of Nakamura and Cesaro tonight.
The Ne Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) retain the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships against Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro after Sami Zayn is ejected from the match for attempted interference after attempting to use THe New Day's pancake tray as a weapon.
It is announced that Robert Roode is being medically evaluated as footage from earlier tonight of Robert Roode being taken away on a stretcher is played.
Daniel Bryan shows up. He mentions "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt's challenge as well as what The Miz told him earlier, and says that he felt changed during his match against Wyatt, not because of Wyatt, but because of the fans. He says that the fans' passion and voice reminded him who he should have been this whole time, and while he has said on numerous occasions that the "Yes! Movement" is dead, the fans brought it back to life. Through the fans, Daniel Bryan states that he accepts Wyatt's challenge. Suddenly, Bray Wyatt shows up on the TitanTron. Wyatt says that this energy is exciting, then tells Daniel Bryan tells The Miz is right when he says he will be changed and his mask will be taken off. He then says it is only fair, as he helped build The Firefly Fun House. After asking Daniel if he remembers - as "The Fiend" certainly does - he then introduces a new member of the Firefly Fun House. The arena lights go down, then turn red. The Fiend comes out from underneath the ring and grabs Daniel before putting him in the Mandible Claw before dragging Wyatt into the depths with him and ripping his hair out.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for November 27, 2019
The NXT locker room celebrates their Survivor Series victory to start the show, then The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) shows up. Cole says the only reason NXT was successful over the weekend was because of them, and that everyone else in the locker room did absolutely nothing. Cole says that they dominated at both War Games and Survivor Series because they are the "iron men" of the brand, and while everyone else is taking the night off, they will successfully defend the NXT Tag Team Championships because that is what they do. Tommaso Ciampa, having had enough, interrupts, saying that they are confident for four men who got beaten at War Games, and that everyone else is seeing what is going on except them. He states that War Games is the beginning of the end for The Undisputed Era, and while The Undisputed Era has all the gold, the decline will continues when The Undisputed Era lose the tag team titles. Ciampa tells Roderick Strong that his days are also numbered, and that "Goldy" will soon be coming home now that "Daddy" has gone to war and won. He then tells Cole that he will find out what he is in for, as there is not one member of The Undisputed Era that is no longer in his way. Suddenly, Finn Balor shows up and tells Ciampa he is standing in his way, but Ciampa reminds him of his "The business watches me" statement, then proposes that they have a one-on-one match. Keith Lee tells Finn Balor that he is confident that Ciampa can beat him, then dares O'Reilly and Fish to get in the ring because it is "basking season."
The Undisputed Era (Kyle O'Reilly, Bobby Fish, Roderick Strong) retain the NXT Tag Team Championships against Keith Lee and Dominik Dijakovic after Keith Lee shoulder blocks Adam Cole - who is running towards the ring - into the first and second rows near the ramp. During the match, Bobby Fish is injured after being tossed into Kyle O'Reilly from the ring to the outside by Keith Lee, and he is replaced on short notice during the commercial break by Roderick Strong, who is still in street clothes.

As she brags that she has held the NXT Women's Championship for over a year, Rhea Ripley shows up, but Baszler, Duke and Shafir walk away as Ripley walks out of the ring.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for November 27, 2019
Soul Train Jones (formerly Virgil) is in the ring at the start of tonight's show. After a marching band plays and people in costumes dance, he introduces everyone to the greatest celebration in wrestling history before introducing Chris Jericho to the ring. Jericho celebrates everyone to his own celebration, where he finally get his "thank you" from the AEW executive team and the brass at the TNT network. He announces that some people will have coupons underneath their chairs for 50 cents off his new T-shirt, then introduces the official "A Little Bit Of The Bubbly" wine, now on sale at LittleBitoftheBubbly.com. Jericho celebrates with a little bit of the bubbly along with Soul Train Jones, then introduces The Inner Circle to the ring. Santana, Ortiz and Sammy Guevara show up with a bottle of Jericho's wine and a basket containing various items. Guevara thanks Jericho, and says he is excited for tonight. He mentions the various gifts, but says the gift that he has in mind is priceless. He removes the veil off what looks like a statue and reveals a plastic cut-out of Jericho hugging Guevara, which Jericho likes. Inside the basket is some cold rub, a photo, a pair of flip-flops, a bottle of beer, and a bandanna that makes him "an honorary Boricua." Jericho then asks where Jake Hager is. Hager shows up with a goat named "Chris Jeri-Goat." Everyone then starts opening presents, starting with a big box with Chris Jericho holding the AEW World Championship on the wrapping paper. Inside the box is Jericho's father Ted Irvine. Irvine says it is great to be back in New York City, but Jericho reminds him they are in Chicago, Illinois. Irvine brags about how the New York City always beat the Chicago Blackhawks, whom he calls "wimps." Irvine then gifts every member of The Inner Circle custom-made New York Rangers jerseys as the crowd chants "Rangers suck," then Jericho pulls out a "thank you statement" from AEW and TNT. Instead of reading it himself, he asks ring announcer Justin Roberts to read it, causing the crowd to chant "You can't read." Roberts reads the statement, then Jericho says he didn't like Roberts' tone and proceeds to beat him up along with The Inner Circle. All of a sudden, three members of the matching band show up and attack The Inner Circle.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 25, 2019
The show starts with Seth Rollins holding a town hall meeting with the Raw locker room around ringside. Rollins admits that NXT mopped the floor with Raw, and says that he hates this because he has been a fan of Raw throughout his life, and seeing what it has become breaks his heart. He says that Raw is better than that, and that last night, everybody on the show's locker room sucked. He says that the show has gone from the A-show to the C-show and that Raw needs to plant its flag and become great again, and that he believes in Monday Night Raw. He asks anyone who wants to speak up to do so, then calls Randy Orton "the weak link." Randy Orton simply walks away if Rollins asks him if he has anything to say, and Rollins tells him to get out while he keeps sticking his neck out for the brand. Charlotte Flair also walks out when Rollins questions her family pedigree and leadership. Rollins calls out AOP (Akam and Rezar) for not being at Survivor Series, and they too walk away. He then calls out Rey, saying that he too let everyone down by losing to Brock Lesnar like he did while he beat him twice. Rey then walks away, as does the rest of the roster. Rollins says that he is trying to motivate them and that he is the only person with the guts to say what he wants to say. Suddenly, Kevin Owens is the only one left, and he is on the ring apron. Rollins tells Owens - who he calls "Mr. NXT" - that he loves the show and eats, sleeps and breathes it and wants it to be the best show that it can be, and that it is not about him. He then says Owens just shows up and does nothing while calling Owens "a lazy piece of crap." Rollins tells Owens that he only wants his spot and that he will never be him, and he steps back to say that he is coming from a good place. Owens just gives him a Stone Cold Stunner and leaves.
Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Seth Rollins, who says he is trying to do the right thing, then says Kevin Owens will learn the hard way when he meets him in the ring.

(Styles, Gallows, Anderson) have done before mocking Ricochet for not showing up in time to save Humberto. Ricochet accuses Styles of cowardice, then challenges Styles for the United States Championship. Styles refuses, stating the match was signed for Humberto and Humberto alone, then Randy Orton shows up. Orton says that Humberto may not be able to compete, but he can, as the fans would love nothing more than to see him RKO Styles right through the canvas. He then challenges Styles for the United States Championship. Styles says that the last time they squared off, it was at WrestleMania, and he beat him. He then says he has nothing to prove against two men he has already beaten. Suddenly, Drew McIntyre shows up, and says that he knows a guy that he has never faced and has never had a singles title opportunity who beat a "monster among men" and a United Kingdom Champion last night. McIntyre then challenges Styles for the title, but Styles says that he is sore from working out in the gym. Rey Mysterio shows up, saying he stepped in and out of a fight with Brock Lesnar and he is not complaining. After telling Styles that he is making excuses, then challenges Styles for the United States title. Styles tells everyone that they are entitled, and declines "on principle alone." Ricochet then proposes that he, McIntyre, Orton and Rey have a Fatal Four-Way Match to decide who faces Styls. Styles is not happy about the idea, but Gallows and Anderson are okay with the match. Styles reluctantly says all four men are on.

Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Kevin Owens. Owens tells Seth Rollins that he has heard every word he has had to say as well as what he had to say about him, then says the biggest difference between them is that he has always known who he is during his entire time in WWE. Owens says he has always dug his heels in the sand and refused to change into someone who he is not, for he is Kevin Owens and he is okay with that. He then says Seth Rollins has tried to be what the company wants him to be, but has become a whiny, insufferable prick. Owens tells Rollins that the first Stunner was nothing, and that the next one will turn "Monday Night Rollins" into "The Kevin Owens Show."

(Styles, Gallows, Anderson) have done before mocking Ricochet for not showing up in time to save Humberto. Ricochet accuses Styles of cowardice, then challenges Styles for the United States Championship. Styles refuses, stating the match was signed for Humberto and Humberto alone, then Randy Orton shows up. Orton says that Humberto may not be able to compete, but he can, as the fans would love nothing more than to see him RKO Styles right through the canvas. He then challenges Styles for the United States Championship. Styles says that the last time they squared off, it was at WrestleMania, and he beat him. He then says he has nothing to prove against two men he has already beaten. Suddenly, Drew McIntyre shows up, and says that he knows a guy that he has never faced and has never had a singles title opportunity who beat a "monster among men" and a United Kingdom Champion last night. McIntyre then challenges Styles for the title, but Styles says that he is sore from working out in the gym. Rey Mysterio shows up, saying he stepped in and out of a fight with Brock Lesnar and he is not complaining. After telling Styles that he is making excuses, then challenges Styles for the United States title. Styles tells everyone that they are entitled, and declines "on principle alone." Ricochet then proposes that he, McIntyre, Orton and Rey have a Fatal Four-Way Match to decide who faces Styls. Styles is not happy about the idea, but Gallows and Anderson are okay with the match. Styles reluctantly says all four men are on.
Rey Mysterio beats Ricochet, Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre to face "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles for the WWE United States Championship tonight. During the match, The O.C. ("The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson) show up to get a closer look at the match, and near the end, Gallows and Anderson yank Orton out of the ring and throw him into the barricade on the outside.

Randy Orton runs out and fights off Gallows and Anderson, then tries to fight off Styles. Styles leaps over him, but after a 619, Orton hits Styles with an RKO and Rey wins the match and the title.
Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Kevin Owens. Owens tells Seth Rollins that he has heard every word he has had to say as well as what he had to say about him, then says the biggest difference between them is that he has always known who he is during his entire time in WWE. Owens says he has always dug his heels in the sand and refused to change into someone who he is not, for he is Kevin Owens and he is okay with that. He then says Seth Rollins has tried to be what the company wants him to be, but has become a whiny, insufferable prick. Owens tells Rollins that the first Stunner was nothing, and that the next one will turn "Monday Night Rollins" into "The Kevin Owens Show."
Asuka beats Charlotte Flair. During the match, Charlotte chases Kairi Sane into the crowd after one interference attempt too many. Later in the match, she comes back, and she is able to distract the referee so that Asuka can spit green mist into Charlotte's face and win the match.

She says that Rusev's actions are proof that he should be fired and sent back to Bulgaria. She says she will be okay despite the traumatic experience as well as what has happened to Bobby Lashley.
Seth Rollins vs. Kevin Owens ends in a no-contest. During the match, AOP (Akam and Rezar) show up and stare down both men. When Owens attacks Rezar, however, both Akam and Rezar smash Owens' head into the ring post multiple times, then finish him off before focusing their anger on Rollins. Rollins dares them to fight him, but they leave. Rollins then hits The Stomp on Owens twice to end the show.

At the start of the show, the SmackDown roster is addressed by SmackDown's men's Survivor Series team.

She calls out Raw's women's team, and Raw's women's team (Charlotte Flair, Sarah Logan, Asuka, Kairi Sane, Natalya) shows up. Charlotte thanks SmackDown for opening the door - even though they would have kicked it down, anyway - and proposes to Sasha they go one-on-one for old times' sake. As the Raw and SmackDown teams argue, NXT's women's team (Rhea Ripley, Candice LeRae, Tegan Nox, Mia Yim and a quietly revealed without fanfare Toni Storm) show up. Rhea Ripley states that NXT has guts, and decides to put herself in the proposed match. A series of verbal arguments turns into a brawl between all three sides.

Backstage, King Corbin tells Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode they will lead by example, and says that when NXT shows up, they will let NXT beat up Roman Reigns and his partners in their six-man tag match so they can do it again themselves. Suddenly, Sami Zayn shows up. Corbin tells Ziggler and Roode that Sami is annoying, and Sami dares Corbin to call him annoying to his face before his entrance music hits.
Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Bayley. Bayley says she is prepared, as she is the only person to win all of the current women's titles.

She says that Baszler only attacks when her back is turned, and that she is waiting and ready for her when she is done hiding in the shadows.
Before the next match, Sami Zayn says King Corbin will not show up because she is afraid of him and Shinsuke Nakamura, just like everyone else. He then says the one word Corbin cannot call him is "annoying," and says the one word that does describe him is "stud," for as big of a stud he is, Nakamura is bigger to the point that he has given him a brand new Intercontinental Championship. He and Nakamura then trade belts, saying that this is the only way to take the title off Nakamura, then he and Nakamura make fun of Roderick Strong's name.

Daniel then says he is here to summon "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt, and says that while he does not care what goes on in his mind, Bray does not know what goes on in his. He calls out Bray so that they can have a face-to-face meeting before Sunday. He also says that if talking doesn't have fun, then they can fight. As Daniel keeps talking, the lights go out. When they come back on, nothing has happened. Daniel is undeterred, and continues to call Bray out. Instead, he gets The Miz. Miz says that it has become clear that unlike Daniel, he is a professional, and says he had to hold back after being disrespected on his own.

Before the next match, Kona Reeves says it is typical of the people not to know when they have real talent in their presence, and that is why he thought it would be beneficial if he hopped on a jet to compete in NXT UK. Reeves go on to say he knows a lot about Trent Seven, then say that the fans for idiots for cheering for him, as he is out of shape, out-of-date and not exemplary of what a Superstar is. He plans to show him that twisting his mustache does not make him a star and give him a taste of what it is like to be in the ring with "The Finest." After the match, Trent Seven is shocked by the sudden appearance of Eddie Dennis in the front row as he high-fives the crowd.
In footage from earlier today, Radzi interviews Ilya Dragunov, who says that Alexander Wolfe - who trained him - tried to trick him into joining Imperium (Walter, Fabian Aichner, Marcel Barthel, Wolfe), but he always made decisions for him and disrespected him. He plans to prove that he is the only one in charge of his own future when he steps out of Wolfe's shadow.
NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool II is live on the WWE Network on Sunday, January 12th, and is already sold out within two hours of tickets being available.
A-Kid beats Jack Starz by submission.
In footage from earlier today, Radzi interviews Jinny and Jazzy Gabert. Jinny gives the women's division credit for their talent, but says that they are "little girls." Jinny says that she is championship material, and that Piper Niven will have to overthrow her as queen, as she has never pinned her.
Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake) show up. Gibson says they should be NXT UK Tag Team Champions, and that the only reason they are not is a stipulation to their match at NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff that cost them the titles. He states that Grizzled Young Veterans is a great tag team capable of bouncing back, as they had Flash "Morgan" Webster and Mark Andrews beaten until Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang) and Imperium (Walter, Fabian Aichner, Marcel Barthel, Alexander Wolfe)showed up and got the match thrown out. Gibson then says that there have been no consequences for both teams' actions, and demands that the powers that be pay attention and listen to them, as they were on the way to making the NXT UK tag team titles the most venerable in WWE. He then says that the titles are depreciating in value as they do not have it, then talks about the Bill Shankly statue in front of Shankly Gates in Anfield, saying they want to make the people happy. Gibson demands that General Manager Johnny Saint make the people happy and give Grizzled Young Veterans the tag title shot they deserve, as NXT UK needs them in the match and the world will be talking about them.
We hear from Jordan Devlin, who places a highlight reel of himself before saying he is an "inspirational leader of men" in NXT UK before A-Kid will not succeed solely on Tyler Bate's endorsement when he beats him next week.
Ridge Holland beats Oliver Carter in his debut. Marty Jones is seen in the front row before the match. Ashton Smith checks on Oliver Carter after the match. (Holland is best known as former professional rugby player Luke Menzies.)
"The Kiwi Buzzsaw" Travis Banks says that Joseph Conners is "out of order." Ligero says that Conners robbed him of the victory and the fans out of a fair fight. Conners says he is happy he was able to leave a good impression on everyone.
In footage from during the break, Ashton Smith talks with Oliver Carter, saying they need a win to go places. Suddenly, Noam Dar shows up and insults both of them, but Smith decides to play Dar's bluff and challenges him to a match. Noam says he doesn't need friends, and that he will face Ashton Smith on his time.
Next week: Jinny vs. Piper Niven!
Alexander Wolfe beats Ilya Dragunov following the involvement of the rest of Imperium (Walter, Fabian Aichner, Marcel Barthel). After the match, Imperium attacks Dragunov, but Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang) runs in and fends them off. When Gallus stands tall in the ring, and when Walter tries to retrieve the WWE United Kingdom Championship, Joe Coffey grabs it, saying the title will soon be his.

Jericho then announces that next week, he will finally get the congratulations he deserves from the higher-ups at AEW, TBS-Time Warner and TNT, then says the celebration will be in Chicago, Illinois because it has more sports teams, which makes it better than Indianapolis, Indiana. Jericho says it will be the greatest celebration in AEW history, then calls Indianapolis a "dump of a city" before leaving. Suddenly, SoCal Uncensored (Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, Scorpio Sky) show up. Scorpio says it is admirable and that it takes "a paragon of virtue" to come out and apologize, and says he has proven that and more, then says Jericho forgot to mention him giving him his first loss with the tag team titles on the line. Scorpio says he partied hard all week, and that not only did his Twitter DMs blow up, but his high school crush Melody is finally going out with him next week. He thanks him, then apologizes for embarrassing him. Jericho says he was not embarrassed, then says that Melody gained a lot of weight since high school. Scorpio says "I like big butts and I cannot lie," then Jericho tells Scorpio he is not even in his league. Jericho then says he will rectify the loss in a match where Scorpio cannot pin him from behind. Daniels says they need time to prepare, but Jericho says that the match will take place next week during his celebration. Frankie Kazarian tells Scorpio Sky not to mention the AEW World Championship out loud in front of Jericho, which results in Jericho making the match officially for the AEW World Championship. Both men shake hands, but Scorpio Sky holds on. Scorpio tells Jericho he has been waiting 15 years for his shot at a world title, and next week, he will turn "Le Champeon" into "Le Bitch." This starts a brawl between SoCal Uncensored and The Inner Circle, who soon show up in force. The Inner Circle get the upper hands at first, and when Michael Nakazawa and Brandon Cutler try to even the odds, Jericho easily overpowers them. Jericho then hits Scorpio Sky with the Judas Effect after Hager whips Scorpio Sky Jericho's way, then Marko Stunt and Jungle Boy fight Jericho only to get leveled.

Backstage, General Manager William Regal welcomes Becky Lynch back to NXT as Becky heads to the ring to start tonight's show.

She says that while Triple H sent an open invitation, she was coming anyway. She says that Bayley is crying like a little girl with an old woman haircut about being unappreciated and overlooked, and says that she destroyed all the "Bayley Buddies" except for "the blue-haired one that is holding her back," and while Bayley may be a champ, she is the champ. As for "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler, she introduced herself at SmackDown, but she is here in NXT to remind Baszler of who she really is, as she does not need to hide in the shadows or attack from behind. She says that Baszler can bring Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir if it makes her feel safe, then asks Baszler what she will do about her being on her brand. Suddenly, Rhea Ripley shows up and says "So, you're the man...let's see if you have a set of balls." A referee shows up, and this starts a match.
