One of the ringside workers tells Montana that Zilla is not here, then all of a sudden, Rey Fenix shows up. Fenix says he is happy to see Montana again, and that he is here to find out who he is defending the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship against after the match, and says that if anyone costs him a title shot, he is ready for them, too.

Grayson Waller heads to the ring. Grayson says that for weeks, he has been begging for someone to try to end his takeover, but instead of one of those "TikTok tough guys" trying to do something, he has to deal with Zilla Fatu. He says that Zilla made a big mistake and that he is not scared of him or his family before mockingly stating that he is happy Zilla is here because the ankle monitor is off and he can finally roam free. He claims that Zilla cost him #1 contendership for the NXT Championship, then says he is the #1 contender before Tony D'Angelo says that he has beaten all challengers for his title and will continue to do so. Cruz Montana suddenly shows up, and he reminds Grayson that he was on his back looking up at the lights before Zilla jumped him. He then proposes that he and Grayson finish their business, then he and D'Angelo can go toe-to-toe for the NXT Championship.

Stone then announces that Zilla's first match is an NXT Championship match as per his contract. Zilla says that the Triple Threat Match for the NXT Championship is a Fatal 4-Way as security goes from just holding Grayson back to also holding D'Angelo and Montana back.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 18, 2025

Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker and "Big" Bronson Reed head to the ring to start tonight's show. Paul Heyman says he is too humble to accept a statue for everything he has done for the wrestling industry, then proclaims that the ring is full of the greatest right now, and that Seth Rollins deserves more credit than he does for bringing them all together. Before Rollins can utter a syllable, "Main Event" Jey Uso shows up from out of the crowd, and has some kids say "Yeet!" into the microphone because he is tired of hearing everyone in the ring talking and threatening his family. After Jey warns Breakker that he is messing with "a real one," Rollins manipulates Breakker into taking this as Jey disrespecting his family to the point that Breakker almost leaps out of the ring to get to Jey. Breakker has to be held back, and Heyman says that back in the days of ECW, this would be settled in a certain type of match, but Jey says that the only rules he needs are Extreme Rules.

Backstage, Iyo Sky is met by The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane). Asuka apologizes for last week, and Iyo accepts her apology. Kairi tells Iyo to let her know if she needs their help tonight. Iyo Sky says he is glad they have his back, but he must win on her own tonight just like Asuka did before her.

Iyo Sky beats Raquel Rodriguez after countering the Tejana Bomb with a hurricanrana into the corner. After the match, Roxanne Perez and Raquel attack Iyo Sky when Rhea Ripley shows up and fights them both. Rhea and Iyo quickly clean house.

Backstage, Rhea Ripley apologizes to Iyo Sky as The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) show up to see if Iyo is all right. Asuka takes offense to Rhea helping Iyo, and Iyo finally has enough of the arguing, goes off on them, and walks off. Asuka tells Rhea to stay out of their business, and Kairi is upset again.

Penta beats Xavier Woods with the Mexican Destroyer.

In footage from after TripleMania XXXIII, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio tells El Hijo del Vikingo that he will see him at Worlds Collide before Rey Mysterio shows up and embarrasses Dominik.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Becky Lynch. Becky says Natalya attacked her, not the other way around, and that she gave Maxxine Dupri a chance at her title. She says that afterwards, she was forced to defend herself against Natalya, who she says does not belong in the same ring as her.

An irate General Manager Adam Pearce puts both Sheamus and Rusev in a Good Old Fashioned Donnybrook Match at Clash in Paris for one final match.

Backstage, "Main Event" Jey Uso meets with CM Punk. Punk says they have to work together, as Jey is outnumbered, but Jey says he wants to do this alone and does not want to owe anyone any favors. Punk tells Jey that he has his back.

General Manager Adam Pearce is in the ring, where he introduces Naomi. Naomi heads to the ring, and Adam Pearce gives her the floor. Naomi reveals through her appearance on "What's Your Story?" with Stephanie McMahon that she is pregnant. Adam Pearce says that everyone is happy for her, then Naomi says this is not her first time relinquishing a title, and while she handed it over the first time, this time she is not "handing [him] shit," then tells him to get out of the ring. Pearce makes the wise decision to leave the ring. She then says that the women's division should be thanking Jimmy Uso, as she was about to walk the women's division like a dog and put everyone in the ground. The crowd chants "You deserve it!" before Naomi declares that The Bloodline continues, which leads to an "OTC" chant. Naomi then lays her custom Women's World Championship in the middle of the ring as the crowd chants "Baby Uso" and gives the women's division nine months and change to do what they want with it before she comes back to pick up where she left off. She then advises whoever has the title when she comes back to proceed with caution.

During the match, "Big" Bronson Reed pulls the referee out of the ring after Jey Uso hits an Uso Splash, and as he beats up Jey Uso, LA Knight shows up and fights both Bronson and Breakker until Seth "Freakin'" Rollins shows up and shoves Knight into the barricade. CM Punk shows up, and he and LA Knight team up to take out Seth "Freakin'" Rollins until Rollins knocks Punk into Knight - who is on the ring apron taking care of Bronson Reed on the outside - off the apron and through a table. As Breakker and Jey Uso go at it, Breakker is about to hit a Spear on the outside when Roman Reigns suddenly returns. Breakker looks around for Roman only to fail to find him, and when he goes for the Spear anyway, Roman hits Breakker with a Spear out of nowhere followed by a Superman Punch on Bronson. Jey Uso then splashes Bron Breakker through a table for the pin and the win.

As Escobar says he will get revenge once he is fully healed, Theory shows up.

The Impact Plus Flashback Moment of the week is Christian Cage beating Jeff Jarrett for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship on Feb 13, 2006.

It's time for Locker Room Talk. Tonight's guest is Tennille Dashwood after Johnny Swinger mentions Swinger's Palace. We find out that Tennille Dashwood is on the set of All About Me, and that Madison Rayne is the guest for tonight's show. Tennille says that she allied herself with Madison because she and Kaleb have been looking for a partner, and while it happened a year ago and it did not work out, Tennille thinks it can work out now. It is mentioned that Madison Rayne was Tenille's first tag team partner, and Tennille notes that this situation has gone full circle before saying that her range and Madison's experience make them "the influence." Kaleb and Swinger then have an argument after Kaleb states they don't have to take crap from Scott D'amore anymore.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander. Alexander says he intends to be the face of the company going forward, and while Christian Cage may be the new Impact World Champion and became a legend here, he will not be carrying the Impact banner as Jake Something shows up. Alexander says he is not concerned about how big and strong he is, and Jake Something says he will give a reason to be concerned and pay attention by approaching Kaleb and Scott D'Amore as they argue, wanting a match. Kaleb, saying he is medically cleared even though he isn't, is wanting a match, and D'Amore puts Kaleb in a match with Jake Something and makes it a no-disqualification match, much to the horror of Kaleb.

Christian Cage heads to the ring. He says it is good to be back in the Impact Zone after nine long years as Impact World Champion, and even though he wrestles for AEW, it was an honor to take the championship from Kenny Omega and bring them back where it belongs. He talks about how he left WWE in 2005 and took a chance on himself, which lead to Impact taking a chance on him and allowing him to up his stock and compete in the main event for championships, which is all he ever wanted. Christian says this is surreal for him, and he thanks the fans, who chant "You deserve it!" He says that talking about history in Impact has made him realize that this is not about his history anymore and that he had some talks with Scott D'Amore, and as much as the TNA World title means to him, he says it is time to retire it. He says that it is about the future, and that the Impact World Championship represents that future, which means a lot for the locker room. He then says the Impact World Championship will be the biggest prize in the company. Christian then says that the TNA World Heavyweight Championship's lineage will be emblazoned in his and Impact's souls forever, then hands the title off and relinquishes it once and for all. As Christian gets down to business, Brian Myers and Sam Beale show up. Beale carries a notebook with "Christian Not My Champ" written on it as Myers states he is the #1 contender and that he has killed it on Impact for the past year. Myers proclaims that the Impact World Championship belongs to him tomorrow night, and Christian tells Myers it took him long enough to get out of Matt Cardona's shadow before mocking him and Beale. Myers proclaims that the Impact World Championship belongs to him tomorrow night, and Christian tells Myers it took him long enough to get out of Matt Cardona's shadow before mocking him and Beale. He goes on to say that while Myers is the most professional wrestler, he is the best professional wrestler. This leads to a staredown between Myers and Christian. Myers fails to cheap shot Christian with Sam Beale, who gets rocked with a right by Christian.

He says that AEW's roster is full of loud-mouth wanna-be tough guys who couldn't wrestle their way out of a wet paper bag if their lives depend on it, and says the fans are here so they aren't in their mom's basements or on the dark web.

Paul Wight then prepares to make an announcement, but he is cut off by QT Marshall, who shows up with Nick Comoroto and Aaron Solow. Marshall says that in AEW, people don't say things to hype the fans up just to let them down, and while The Factory forgives him, there is a reason Tony Khan hired him as an announcer and not as a wrestler. He also says that he hoped they would not go down this road, but now they have, then says he is privy to information that others do not know about via his backstage producer role and puts up some X-rays showing three different medically implanted devices in his hip and a photo of a 14-inch scar on Paul Wight's hip from attempts to "restore the quality of life Paul Wight once had."

He says it is time to prove who is on top of the food chain.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for August 18, 2018

Chris Sabin beats Scorpio Sky. After the match, Alex Shelley says that he and Sabin have been a tag team for about twelve years, and when they came to ROH many years ago, their goal was to make it to the top of the mountain, and they did it. Alex Shelley says he feels he does not have much left to offer to pro wrestling as a whole, and that The Motor City Machine Guns are no longer needed. Shelley says he has come to this conclusion after having his teeth put back into place a third time, as a visit to the dentists makes you wonder how you got there. He says that this may be either retirement or a "see you later," and asks Chris Sabin to validate everything and prove they were the best tag team in professional wrestling for a period of time. The crowd chants "Thank you!", but Shelley says he should be saying that to the fans, and says he and Sabin's individual talents were what made them a great tag team in addition to the fans. Shelley then asks Sabin to fulfill his potential however he can and become a great singles competitor, hopefully by starting with the ROH World Television Championship. As Shelley and Sabin hug, Punishment Martinez shows up and pulls both men apart before driving Sabin face-first into a steel chair. He is about to do the same to Shelley when Scorpio Sky runs back into the ring with a steel chair, driving Martinez out.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for August 18, 2016

"The Cowboy" James Storm comes to the ring. He asks referee Brian Hebner to come to the ring, and Brian Hebner does. He wants to know what happened that caused him to lose. We get video footage of the very beginning of the match from when Jeremy Borash left the ring. He says that he should be World champion, and the crowd chants "You screwed Storm!" before he demands a rematch against Lashley for the World title. Billy Corgan shows up, and says the ref's decision is final and that games are won and lost in the fourth quarter and not the first, but Storm says this is pro wrestling and not football, and demands his rematch. Billy Corgan says "maybe it's not your damn luck, and you just can't win the big one." Storm takes a toolbox from underneath the ring, empties it, takes a hammer, and says he built TNA and that he can tear it down too as he smacks the top rope with the hammer. Security moves into place, and Storm says this is proof that "rock stars need security." He tells Billy he views him as nothing but a rock star, and tells him that unlike AJ Styles, Bobby Roode and Austin Aries, he stayed in TNA because he believed in the company. He then calls Corgan a "stupid son-of-a-bitch." A member of security tries to subdue Storm, but Storm hits him with the hammer. He then tells Billy he's beaten up a lot of people, but he's never beaten up a rock star, and if their paths cross again, he's going to cross a wish off of his bucket list because he's going to "smash [Billy's] pumpkin." Storm leaves the ring and heads to the back, and Billy tells Storm that he is suspended from TNA indefinitely.

Ethan Carter III is in the ring, and calls out Drew Galloway so he can give him an answer to his challenger from last week. Galloway shows up. EC3 says his answer will surprise Galloway, but Galloway thinks that EC3 will answer no because he's screwed him out of the World title three times and won't make it right. EC3 tells him his challenge is accepted. Suddenly, his challenge is accepted. Suddenly, Aron Rex enters the ring. He tells Galloway and EC3 that the entire universe has been watching Impact Wrestling because the two of them have been making waves with the kind of wrestling he and the people grew up with.
