Memphis Thing - Memphis Wrestling recap for April 19, 2025

Dustin Starr interviews The Righteous Path (Reverend Ash Taylor, Brother Bruce, Morrow, Sister Asa) at the announce desk. Reverend Ash Taylor says he has been thinking about the last seven days and has been met with nothing but disappointment, and blames everything on Brother Bruce and Morrow, stating that he was the one member who was closest to the tag team titles. He asks Morrow where he was when The Twins of Salem (Jackson Crowley and Abel Booker) put him through a table, then slaps him. Brother Bruce gets in front of Reverend Ash Taylor only to get slapped as well, then yells at Sister Asa for running away, "scared like a child." Morrow stops the Reverend from slapping Sister Asa, and Brother Bruce says that Reverend Ash Taylor has been overstepping for the past year, and while he has had his back and has been his right-hand man since day one, he has been caging a monster, and calls him "nothing but a fake-ass reverend." Reverend Ash Taylor tries to beg Bruce off, but Bruce punches him in the face. Bruce and Morrow surround Reverend Ash Taylor in the ring and slam him down into the mat, then Morrow takes the collection plate and stomps it. Bruce, Morrow and Sister Asa then enter the face locker room, signifying a face turn.

We hear from Sycho Simon, who talks about he tried to dance with the devil in the pale moonlight only for the devil to fail to show up, because even he knows that he rules Memphis Wrestling. He asks what it feels like to put someone through a table and braek bones in half, and says he is the one everyone should worry about. He then says it will be over soon.
