Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for August 27, 2025

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway head to the ring to start tonight's show. Dax Harwood says that there was "a miscarriage of justice" at Forbidden Door and that people around the world could not celebrate their third AEW World Tag Team Championship win, which immediately leads to "Shut the fuck up" chants. Dax says the illegal man pinned him, then mentions that the man he wants to talk to - referee Paul Turner - is in the ring right now. Dax proceeds to call Paul Turner a failure and brings up his wife and child, and demands that Turner admit he was wrong, reverse his decision and declare FTR the new World Tag Team Champions.When Paul Turner declares that his decision is final, Stokely Hathaway proceeds to directly insult him with FTR joining in, then says Turner wants to appease both the fans in the arena and online. The fans chant "No hoes" before poking him in the chest as he calls him an idiot. Paul Turner pokes back and calls him an idiot back, and as FTR confront Paul Turner, Adam Copeland shows up, looks over his shoulder briefly, and heads to the ring. Christian Cage shows up from the other side of the ring and hits Stokely with the Killswitch, then Copeland gets in the ring where he and Christian brawl with FTR. Referees and security quickly rush in to restore order.Christian then tags the microphone and says his problem was taken care of at Forbidden Door, and now, they take care of Copeland's problem. He also mentions FTR's father and how Cash's father is dead after some initial concern from Copeland. Copeland then challenges FTR to a tag team match against himself and Christian at All Out, and declares that it is time he gets his pound of flesh.



We see a video package of Darby Allin. He see blood dripping from his right ear as he talks about his time on Mount Everest while making a message with his blood and setting it on fire calling out John Moxley and telling him he will take everything from him at All Out.

Jon Moxley beats Daniel Garcia with an inside cradle after Garcia hits him with a piledriver. After the match, Wheeler Yuta says Jon Moxley will not waste his breath answering Darby Allin's challenge and that the answer is no. As this goes on, Moxley and Garcia have a heated argument on the outside.



After the commercial break, Wheeler Yuta is back in the ring with the microphone. Yuta says there is a lot more of the show to go and that he will not leave until he says his piece. He talks about how he is from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and how everything he has done has led to this. He says that it bothered him how little he is respected until he realized that he is a Death Rider and how the fans' jeers mean jack shit. He mentions Will Ospreay's, Chuck Taylor's and Bryan Danielson's injuries, and how he slayed and replaced Danielson until the lights go out. Hook shows up for the first time in months, and Yuta tries to fight him only for Hook to put him in Redrum and hit him with a Superman Punch.



We hear from MJF in backstage footage from Forbidden Door. He talks about how the fans hate him, then says he deserves better than he is treated by the fans and by AEW, as he is the best in the world. MJF says he did Mark Briscoe a favor when he released him and says he should have set him on fire, which he vows he will do when he sees him again. He also gets angry at Tony Khan for making it so that he can no longer cash in his contract whenever he wants and is forced to give advance notice, and that when he finally uses his contract, he will not only take the AEW World Championship from "Hangman" Adam Page, but also Hangman's soul.



Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron beat Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford after Statlander makes Penelope submit. After the match, Megan Bayne goes on the attack, but Statlander holds her own. Willow Nightingale shows up, and Penelope and Megan get out of dodge before Harley plays peacemaker.



Renee Paquette welcomes Mercedes Moné to the ring. Mercedes talks about how she is a history maker and a record breaker before proclaiming that she will smash Ultimo Dragon's record of holding ten championships at one time and that she is coming for more championship gold. On the subject of Alex Windsor, she was not legal when she was in the ring and that she was swatting a bug away, then says Windsor has it out for her and that she will beat her senseless and leave her in a hospital bed if she wants to face her again. Mercedes then proceeds to celebrate in the ring.

We hear from Mark Briscoe in Sandy Fork, Delaware. She says that the 2300 Arena was where it all started for him and his brother Jay, then says she was not able to make it because of his birth of his newest son, Mack Briscoe, then passes Mack off to someone else before calling out MJF. He tells MJF that he will set everything of his on fire like MJF tried to set him on fire, and that he will light him up the next time he sees him. He mentions MJF stating he cannot win the big one, then addresses Kyle Fletcher and the TNT Championship and how they have two wins apiece. He challenges Fletcher for the TNT title in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

The Don Callis Family (Hechicero, "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada) beat JetSpeed ("Speedball" Mike Bailey and "The Jet" Kevin Knight), Bandido and Brody King in an All Star 8-Man Tag Team Match after Speedball lands on his feet while attempting the Ultima Weapon only for Alexander to pin him with an inside cradle.



"Hangman" Adam Page heads to the ring. Hangman thanks Will Ospreay for everything he has done this year as well as for everything he has done for AEW and that he is sorry for what happened to him at Forbidden Door, and he says that Ospreay will be missed while he is gone. Hangman also hopes that Ospreay can come back and challenge him for the AEW World Championship before addressing MJF, who he says had a shot at his title and failed. He says that MJF threw everything and every trick he had at him and failed, and after everything MJF has done, MJF has to give a seven-day notice before challenging again, and says that if MJF signs the contract, he will beat his ass before the ink is dry. Suddenly, Don Callis shows up and says he and Hangman have a long history and that he only won the AEW World Championship from him because he had a weakling defending it. Callis declares he wants the AEW World Championship back in his family, and that he has half of the locker room in his family and that it is only a question of which family member will take it from him. Lance Archer, "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, Rocky "Azucar" Romero and Hechicero show up, and Hangman tries to fight them all only for the numbers game to catch up to him. JetSpeed ("Speedball" Mike Bailey and "The Jet" Kevin Knight) run into the ring to help Hangman, and Don Callis hands a steel baton to Romero, who strikes Speedball in the ribs to turn the tide in the brawl before Kenny Omega shows up and cleans house. Hangman and Omega team up to take down Lance Archer to finish the job before both men celebrate in the ring alongside JetSpeed.



We see a video package for Mina Shirakawa vs. Athena for the Ring of Honor Women's Women's World Championship at Death Before Dishonor.

The Opps (Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata) retain the AEW World Trios Championships against Ricochet and Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) by submission with a Coaquina Clutch from Joe to Ricochet and after MVP shows up and hits Ricochet with his cane. After the match, Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin show up and brawl with Gates of Agony.

After the match, Gabe Kidd runs into the ring in a black hoodie and attacks Darby Allin as Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir show up, but Darby fights back and runs away through the crowd, with Gabe Kidd in pursuit. Darby makes it out of the building fast enough for Gabe Kidd to give up as the show ends.

Karmen Petrovic beats Izzi Dame.

Backstage in the locker room, Charlie Dempsey and Wren Sinclair argue over whose lead to follow, with Wren saying if it was not for her, Dempsey would not have the Heritage Cup. Meanwhile, two of Tony D'Angelo's associates try to meet with D'Angelo, but D'Angelo is too focused on the match tonight.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Jaida Parker. Jaida says that her journey has been whirlwind as of late and that she has her sights set on the NXT Women's Championship, and while she is a little sore, she is still ready for Roxanne Perez. She says that Roxanne is one of the best champions in NXT history, but she is not scared of the spotlight after competing in college soccer and she is "a WWE Superstar who used to play soccer," and that the cheers for her will get louder at No Mercy. Roxanne Perez shows up and forces Sarah Schreiber out of the interview to brag about how she ends everyone's stories in disappointment, then says Jaida has everything, but she is not "The Prodigy," and that there is no one better than her. Jaida threatens to slap the taste out of Roxanne's mouth, then actually does it. She then notices someone off camera and says they can get some too, then leaves. Roxanne then notices the person Jaida noticed, but we do not see them.

The D'Angelo Family (Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Luca Crusifino, Adriana Rizzo) beat No Quarter Catch Crew (Charlie Dempsey, Myles Borne, Wren Sinclair) in a six-person mixed tag match. During the match, the two associates from The D'Angelo Family get in touch with Tony D'Angelo at ringside, and they and D'Angelo head to the back.

Backstage, General Manager Ava confronts "All Ego" Ethan Page for attacking referees last week, and Ethan tries to get himself suspended so he does not have to defend the NXT Championship against Joe Hendry. Ava says that Ethan will be defending the NXT Championship, and that she needs to figure things out.

Zachary Wentz and Wes Lee show up for their face-to-face meeting. Security guards and referees have surrounded the ring before the commercial break. Zachary Wentz says other stables break up, but not The Rascalz, but Wes Lee tells him he is incredibly naive. Wes Lee says he is the bigger star and that Wentz is jealous of everything he has accomplished and is only back to get "the NXT rub." Wes Lee says that they are both on different levels, but Wentz says that no one is prouder of his accomplishments than he is. He says that MSK (Wentz and Wes Lee) was the best tag team in NXT, and while he messed it up, Wes Lee became a star while he became a man. He says that everything motivated him to come back, and Wes Lee admits that while he loves the motivation, the win would only be good for nostalgia. He says that it is not 2022 anymore. Wentz reminds Wes Lee that he was about to quit NXT for the third time when he and Trey showed up. Wentz tells Wes that he always had his back, but Wes Lee says that they are on different levels. Wentz says that Wes Lee has underestimated him despite him wishing Wes success, and now he hopes to fail at No Mercy. Wes tells Wentz to forget everything they have ever done, as he will remind Wentz why he is "a WWE Superstar" while Wentz is "a TNA wrestler," but Wentz says he will beat Wes Lee's ass.



Backstage, Joe Hendry thanks Trick Williams for the assist last week. Trick says that he believes in Joe Hendry, and Joe Hendry tells Trick Williams that when he beats "All Ego" Ethan Page for the NXT Championship, Trick will be his first challenger.

Kelani Jordan heads to the ring. Kelani Jordan heads to the ring. She wants to know what opponent Wendy Choo has in mind for her when Wendy appears on the TitanTron and directs a woman in a black leather hoodie towards the ring. That woman is Rosemary from TNA.

Kelani Jordan beats Rosemary. After the match, Wendy Choo's laughter can be heard, and her face appears on the TitanTron. Suddenly, Kelani is grabbed from behind for a sleeper by Wendy Choo, who soon puts Kelani to sleep. Rosemary hands the Women's North American Championship to Wendy, who holds it up.



Backstage, Meta-Four (Oro Mensah, Lash Legend, Jakara Jackson) is met by Lexis King, who says that nobody wants to hear Oro Mensah's sob stories. He also calls Noam Dar "the real daddy of Meta-Four," and Oro says that is very rich from someone lacking a father figure. Oro and Lexis brawl, and referees have to break the brawl up.

At Chase University, Andre Chase and Ridge Holland celebrate winning the NXT Tag Team Championships, but Duke Hudson expresses regret about himself and Riley Osborne not getting the job done last week. Ridge says that he is still glad to call Chase University his family and that he will not let the NXT tag team titles go. Thea Hail says they will have the reign of all reigns, then Nathan Frazer and Axiom show up. Nathan Frazer and Axiom talk about how they have made each other better, then Frazer says that while there isn't anyone who doesn't love Chase University, Chase U will soon come crumbling down when they take the tag titles back.

Brooks Jensen beats Malik Blade.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Je'Von Evans. Je'Von says that his Joe Coffey does not think he can wrestle, and that Joe Coffey is about to find he can not only wrestle, but throw hands.

Backstage, Hank Walker and Tank Ledger talk about Joe Hendry as well as their online show. OTM (Bronco Nima and Lucien Price) show up, bragging that Jaida Parker will win at No Mercy. This turns into what each team has done lately, and Lucien Price says that when they eliminate Hank and Tank, they will get their shot at tag team gold.

Joe Coffey beats Je'Von Evans after Wolfgang distracts the referee from the ring apron so that Mark Coffey can take a bullet for Joe by eating a top rope cutter meant for him.

At the restaurant, Tony D'Angelo finds out that Oba Femi is in his private dining room. D'Angelo is amazed by Oba Femi, and Oba Femi says that while D'Angelo is a powerful man as "The Don of NXT," he is the ruler of NXT and he does not take disrespect. D'Angelo says that he does not take disrespect either, and says that they can handle things like men. Oba Femi says that he will wait until Sunday to handle things, but D'Angelo says he will prove Oba Femi mortal. Oba says others have tried and failed and that D'Angelo will be no different before leaving.

Joe Hendry heads to the ring for his second NXT concert. Hendry thanks the fans for choosing to spend their evening with him, as he a potentially career-defining opportunity against "All Ego" Ethan Page at No Mercy before thanking the fans for their support. To show his appreciation, he has written another song, this time about Ethan Page. Hendry makes fun of Ethan's hobbies as well as his "Karate Guy" character and a loop of Ethan Page lifting weights in a Bowser costume, then tells Ethan Page to put on some clothes. Ethan shows up just before the end of the song as two referees try to hold him back, saying that the sing-along is done and that Hendry will not embarrass him with out-of-context footage. The crowd continues to chant Hendry's song as a visibly bothered Ethan Page tells Hendry that he knows what is best for the people, which is keeping Hendry out of NXT and away from his title. General Manager Ava shows up and says Ethan Page should be flattered, then says she has things figured out and that because of his attack on the referees last week, their match will have a special guest referee: Trick Williams. Trick shows up in a sleeveless referee's shirt and black shorts as Ethan Page is visibly miffed. Ethan tries to attack Hendry with the NXT Championship, but Hendry ducks and hits Hendry with the Standing Ovation before Trick makes the three-count. As Hendry waves the NXT Championship from side to side, Pete Dunne tells Trick Williams that he will not make it to No Mercy.

Emergence 2023 - The LIVE Results



"Speedball" Mike Bailey beats Alan Angels on the Countdown.



Before the next match, John Skyler states that he and Jason Hotch are from the United States of America and that the Canadian fans should be thanking them and thanking America for without America, all they would have is Tom Green and Nickelback (which leads to a "Nickelback" chant). Jason Hotch says that American protects Canada and that it is the only reason nobody wants to invade "this wimpy little country." Skyler says nobody can protect Joe Hendry and Yuya Uemura from the beating that they will give them. Joe Hendry and Yuya Uemura then head to the ring with their own team entrance under the new team name "JOYA."

Joe Hendry and Yuya Uemura - now collectively known as "JOYA" - beat The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) on the Countdown.



In memory of Windham "Bray Wyatt" Rotunda, 1987 - 2023. In memory of Terry Funk, 1944 - 2023. Both men receive a ten-bell salute at the start of the show.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews JOYA (Joe Hendry and Yuya Uemura). Hendry says it has been a somewhat long and lonesome road in IMPACT, but he cannot be a solo artist his entire life. He says John Lennon needed Paul McCartney, Paul Simon needed Art Garfunkel, and Daryl Hall needed John Oates. Right now, "Joe needs Yuya." When Hendry asks Yuy a question, Yuya takes the microphone and says "Can I get a JOYA?" Gia Miller, initially hesitant, gives them a "JOYA."

In backstage footage from earlier today, it is revealed that Taylor Wilde has been attacked and that she cannot compete, while KiLynn King and Jody Threat are arguing over whether or not Jody attacked Taylor. Director of Authority Santino Marella has Jody Threat replace Taylor Wilde in the four-way match for the Knockouts World Tag Team Championships.

MK Ultra (Masha Slamovich and Killer Kelly) retain the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts World Tag Team Championships against The Death Dollz (Courtney Rush and Jessicka), the team of "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw and Savannah Evans and the team of KiLynn King and Jody Threat in a four-way tag team match.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Johnny Swinger, who says that in a few short minutes, everyone will find out what happens when he's not held back, and says that he has thought about what it takes since he was twelve years old and that tonight means everything, and that he will win the Digital Media Championship tonight the right way.

Kenny King retains the IMPACT Wrestling Digital Media Championship against Johnny Swinger despite Sheldon Jean being ejected and Heath hitting Kenny with the Wake-Up Call as the referee is ejecting Sheldon Jean. After the match, Kenny King and Sheldon Jean attack Johnny Swinger, and referees show up to stop the attack before Tommy Dreamer shows up with security. King then attacks Dreamer completely unprovoked before he and Sheldon Jean leave.

We hear from "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and Time Machine (Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, KUSHIDA) backstage. Shelley says that if Bully Ray, Brian Myers, Moose and Lio Rush want to keep attacking them, they can do it in the ring where the action belongs. He says that they are the four pillars of IMPACT and represent the excellence of the industry, and tonight, they do it in their own back yard. Sabin says he cannot wait to get his hands on Lio Rush and give him a taste of the beating he will give him in the future after Lio ducked him at Slammiversary. Alexander says there is nowhere left to run or hide, and he is excited to make a return to an IMPACT ring against Bully, Myers, Moose and Lio Rush. KUSHIDA says that tonight, there is no escape.

The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) beat Subculture (Mark Andrews and "Flash" Morgan Webster) to become the IMPACT Wrestling World Tag Team Championships! During the match, ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) shows up after Trey Miguel spray paints Mark Andrews in the eyes while Zachary Wentz distracts the referee only to be attacked by The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch), who get taken out by Dani Luna. Despite Webster tagging in, The Rascalz are able to double-team him to win the titles.

Backstage, we hear from Brian Myers, Lio Rush, Moose and Bully Ray. Myers says that tonight is the night and that "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and Time Machine (Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, KUSHIDA) do not have what it takes. Bully Ray states that as of tonight, he is proud to say that Lio Rush is on their side after having done so much for them and that he is proud of him for that as he hugs. Lio Rush says that he is a man of his word and that he has been ready and focused, then asks if he can trust Bully Ray regarding PCO. Bully says he has everything worked out for tonight, then Moose says that they are all great and that they are all scumbags, and tonight, they will show the world why they are the greatest assembly of scumbags ever put together.

Eddie Edwards beats Frankie Kazarian in a Back To School Match at Killer Kowalski's School of Pro Wrestling following the distraction by Alisha Edwards. After the match, Alisha Edwards strikes Kazarian in the back with a Kendo stick before Eddie calls Frankie a disappointment. He then takes the signed picture of Killer Kowalski that Kazarian brought into the building and smashes it over Karazian's head.

SANADA beats Jake Something. Both men shake hands after the match.



Bully Ray, Moose, Brian Myers and Lio Rush beat "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and Time Machine (Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, KUSHIDA) in an eight-man tag team match. During the match, Alexander has Moose in a Sharpshooter when Brian Myers gets on the top turnbuckle and takes out the referee as Moose is tapping out. With the referee down, Moose is able to put Chris Sabin with a table with a Uranage, and Lio Rush is able to put KUSHIDA through a table with The Final Hour. As Bully Ray is about to put Chris Sabin through a table from the entrance ramp, the lights go out, and when they come back on, PCO shows up and beats up Bully Ray, but Brian Myers stops PCO with a low blow before he can choke slam Bully Ray through the table. This allows, Moose, Myers and Bully to hit PCO with a three-man powerbomb through the table, which PCO immediately gets up from to the shock of all three men. After back body dropping Moose and Myers back into the ring, PCO chases after Bully Ray, but he is attacked by a man in a jacket who happens to be Steve Maclin, who has not been seen in months. Alexander sees Maclin and immediately attacks him on the stage, which leads to a brawl that has to be broken up by security officers after Maclin attacks Alexander's surgically repaired left tricep. Alexander is able to get back in the ring and keep going, but Myers eventually shoves Alexander into Shelley, which causes an argument between the both of them before Shelley walks out on the match, allowing Moose to hit the Spear on a distracted Alexander for the win.



We see a vigentte of Jordynne Grace training followed by an advertisement for Victory Road.

Gail Kim guests on commentary for the next match, and Jade Chung is the special guest ring announcer for the next match.

Trinity retains the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts World Championship against "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo with a Code Red followed by Starstruck.

Here is tonight's post-show!



All In 2023 - The Results



Powerhouse Hobbs is in the ring for a contract signing. After stating that he has a contract for a match for next week sitting on the table that Miro has not yet signed and bragging about leaving Miro laying the last time they met, he says that he will be heading back to America because "80,000 of you chavs" do not deserve to see him. Miro shows up, and Hobbs tells him to "sign the goddamn contract." Miro signs the contract, then moves the table to the side and has a staredown with him. Hobbs back up and pretends to leave, but gets back in the ring and starts a brawl. Security moves into place, but Miro soon starts laying everyone out. As Hobbs is held back, Miro says a contract is just wods, and tells him that next week at All Out, redemption is coming and it will looked like a jacked Bulgarian who will break his spine and make him humble. (One of the security uards is, interestingly, Simon Miller from WhatCulture Wrestling.)

Tony Schiavone is in the ring. As he thanks the fans for being in Wembley Stadium tonight for All In on behalf of AEW, Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, Satnam Singh and Karen Jarrett show up. Jeff Jarrett tells Schiavone to get out of the ring and insults him for giving the fans credit for paving the way to the biggest event in history, saying the United States paved the way. He also says that American fans are much better than British fans and that American wrestlers and promoters paved the way for the event, not British wrestlers, even calling World of Sport an "independent local yokel show." As Jeff states that his own family paved the way for the event, Paul Wight and Anthony Ogogo show up with Grado, whom Jarrett has been insulting on X (formerly Twitter). Paul Wight knocks out Satnam Singh with one punch, and Grado hits Jeff Jarrett with some bionic punches before Paul Wight choke slams Jay Lethal and throws Jeff Jarrett into a knockout punch by Anthony Ogogo. Grado then hits Jeff Jarrett with his own guitar.

MJF and Adam Cole beat Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis) to become the ROH World Tag Team Championships after MJF hits both members of Aussie Open with the Kangaroo Kick and MJF and Cole hit Fletcher with the double clothesline.

Mercedes Mone is seen in the crowd.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. Britt says she never thought that she would be in London, England, then states that the women's division has become complacent despite the road that she has paved while she was AEW Women's World Champion, and admits that she too fell complacent and took a back seat assuming someone would rise to the occasion. She then says that there is only one her, and after almost five years after showing up happy to be there, she will walk in a bona-fide star ready and determined more than ever to prove that she is the baddest on the black before she walks out as Women's World Champion and starts a new era.

Hook beats Jack Perry with Redrum to become a two-time FTW Champion. (During the match, Jack Perry knocks on the front windshield as he stays "You see this right here? Real glass! Go cry me a river!" This is a direct shot towards CM Punk shooting down the use of real glass in a segment on Collision, which angered Perry. Perry also had a backstage confrontation with Punk before his match, which leads to both men being ordered out of the venue after their matches and later suspended pending an internal investigation by AEW, which leads to Punk's firing from AEW the day before All Out.)

CM Punk retains the Real World Championship against Samoa Joe with the Pepsi Plunge. (This ends up being CM Punk's last match in AEW, following his suspension and eventual firing the day before All Out.)

Konosuke Takeshita and Bullet Club Gold ("Switchblade" Jay White and "Rock Hard" Juice Robinson) beat Kenny Omega, "Hangman" Adam Page and Kota Ibushi in a trios match after Konosuke is able to roll up Kenny Omega from out of nowhere.

Before the next match, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) comes out to "A Superkick Knocks You Out," a thinly veiled superkicked parody of Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust." (The Young Bucks' entrance gear are also a reference to Freddy Mercury.)

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships against The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson). After the match, FTR extend their hands for a handshake, but The Young Bucks walk away.

Eddie Kingston, Penta El Zero Miedo, Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta), and Orange Cassidy beat The Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta) and Proud and Powerful (Santana and Ortiz) in a Stadium Stampede Match that sees Sue show up with weapons, Penta el Zero Miedo becoming Penta Oscura mid-match and Orange Ciassy beating Claudio Castagnoli with four Orange Cassidy - the last one covered in glas - to get the pinfall.

Saraya beats Toni Storm, Britt Baker, D.M.D. and Hikaru Shida in a Fatal 4-Way Match to become the AEW Women's World Champion! During the match, Saraya's mother Sweet Saraya holds down Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. so that Toni Storm can chop her, but Britt eventually ducks and Toni inadvertently hits Sweet Saraya instead. This leads to Saraya (the daughter, not the mother) to go at it with Toni throughout the match, and as Dr. Britt Baker has Hikaru Shida in the lockjaw, Saraya (again, the daughter, not the mother) spray paints Toni in the face and pins her to become the new champion before celebrating with her family in the ring after the match.

Flash Garments and DJ Whoo Kid perform Swerve Strickland's theme before the next match. Also before the next match, we see footage of Sting and Darby Allin in London, with Sting wearing a coat and a top hat as they walk down an alley. Darby says "It's time, isn't it?", with Sting saying it's not just time, it's showtime. When Sting and Darby to the ring, it is to the tune of "Search and Destroy" by Metallica.

Sting and Darby Allin beat Swerve Strickland and Christian Cage in a Coffin Match.

Before the next match, Fozzy performs "Judas" (and Chris Jericho pays tribute to Freddy Mercury).



Will Ospreay beats Chris Jericho. After the match, Sammy Guevara helps Jericho up, but Jericho gently pushes him away and leaves.

Nigel McGuinness announces that 81,035 fans have attended tonight's event, beating WrestleMania 3's attendance record and making a new worldwide record for a professional wrestling event. (Two weeks later, following a freedom of information request to the local council, it is revealed that attendance at All In was not the reported number of 81,035 and was actually around 72,265.)

The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn) beat The House of Black (Malakai Black, Brody King, Buddy Matthews) to become the AEW World Trios Champions! The "Dealer's Choice" stipulation for this match is a no-holds-barred match. Mercedes Mone is seen in the crowd during and after the match. After the match, The House of Black personally award the trios titles to The Acclaimed, then Anthony Bowens says that he and Max have made good on their promise to bring Billy Gunn back to the top with gold around his waist before The Acclaimed scissor in the ring.

Before the next match, MJF makes a special entrance on a push-platform throne as "The Devil," complete with an orchestral rendition of his theme while vestal virgins worship him from both sides.

MJF retains the AEW World Championship against Adam Cole. During the match, both men pin each other after hitting each other with a clothesline at the same time, and the match is declared a draw. Much like in their last match, Adam Cole takes the microphone and demands five more minutes, but MJF tells him that five more minutes isn't enough and that they are going until they have a winner. Shortly after this, Adam Cole collides with referee Bryce Remsburg, knocking Remsburg down. MJF grabs a chair and thows it to Cole, who then throws it back to MJF before both of them toss it back and forth. Adam Cole flinches and falls down when MJF rears back, then MJF puts the chair around his neck. When the referee comes to, Adam Cole is getting up, and he gets chewed out by Remsburg before MJF goes for a schoolkid pin. Later on, MJF dodges a Panama Sunrise attempt, and Bryce Remsburg ends up being the recipient of the move, allowing MJF to put on his Dynamite Diamond Ring to use it as a weapon. When he tries to use it as a weapon, however, he is conflicted, and he puts it away. Suddenly, Roderick Strong shows up from behind MJF, and he kicks MJF in the groin before telling Adam Cole to finish MJF off. Cole hits the Panama Sunrise follwed by The Boom, but Remsburg is still down and is late to the count. Roderick Strong then demands that Adam Cole hit MJF with the AEW World Championship, for he is his best friend and not MJF. Cole picks up the world championship, but he cannot bring himself to blast MJF with it and throws it out of the ring. Roderick Strong angrily leaves and heads to the back, then Adam Cole picks MJF up only for MJF to win and retain with an inside cradle. After the match, MJF tells Adam Cole not to feel bad and that it could have gone either way, and that he got lucky. He then tells Adam Cole that they still have the ROH World Tag Team Championships as he hands the tag team itles, but when Cole throws his tag title out of the ring out of frustration, MJF goes off and says Cole never cared about him before calling him "a fake piece of shit," then tells him to take the AEW World Championship and just get it over with before turning his back so that Adam Cole can betray him. Roderick Strong shows up again and demands Adam Cole do this, but he cannot bring himself to do it. MJF and Adam Cole then hug it out, and Roderick Strong angrily looks at Adam Cole from a distance alongside The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) while MJF and Cole celebrate in the ring.

Memphis Thing - Memphis Wrestling recap for August 27, 2022

Maria Starr returns to commentary for the first time in weeks.

Dustin Starr interviews Memphis Muscle ("The GunShow" Brett Michaels and "Big Swole" Justin Cole) at the announce desk. Brett Michaels says it felt pretty good to put someone through a table for a change, and Justin Cole says he was sick and tired of being sick and tired and was glad to help Brett out. Justin Cole then asks Brett Michaels to help him out one more time, as he wants a match with The Posse for the Memphis Tag Team Championships. Suddenly, The Posse (Simon and Mr. Chris) shows up. Simon says that if Memphis Muscle puts their hands on them, it will be the last thing they ever do, but Brett Michaels asks The Posse what they can do to him that hasn't been done to him already. Security and officials have to separate both teams.



We hear from Zay Washington, who calls Aaron Roberts out for stabbing him in the back after he won the Internet title and for not returning any texts or calls.

Austin Lane, "The True American" Trace Lee Hunt and Gio Savage beats The Hollywood Clique (Van Viciouss, "Casanova" Colton Cage, Derrick King) with a schoolkid pin from Austin Lane to Van Viciouss when "Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock tosses his cane to Derrick King, who then tosses it back to Blaylock when the referee sees it. After Derrick King says he did what he asked and that Van Viciouss lost again, Blaylock mentions the fan that attacked him last week, saying she had "obesity" disease, then we find out that the two bodyguards for the Clique are named Jake and Elwood (an obvious Blues Brothers reference). Blaylock pays Elwood for saving him last week, then Dustin Starr announces that, as per the Championship Committee, Ray Sanders is no longer a referee for The Hollywood Clique. Dustin Starr then gives Diana Taylor an ultimatum: relinquish the Memphis Women's title, or defend it in two weeks against Cassandra Golden and Nyxx. Blaylock says she will defend it, then says he is mad and that things will change around here.





K-Toomer shows up unexpectedly and says the fans have no idea what exactly is going to happen today, then says he will beat "the sugar honey iced tea" out of Big Kon, then says that they will fight and that they might as well go right now.

Jason Genesis beats Bobby Ford following the distractions and interference by his valet Goddess.



We hear from King Cobra, who says that things are getting really wild in Memphis Wrestling, then dares Mark Anthony to pick on somebody his own size after running roughshod over the trainees. He then says that Money Mark got what was coming to him, and says that there are a lot of similarities between the past and the present in that one never knows what is coming and one never knows who is next.



Dustin Starr interviews Mike Anthony at the announce desk. Anthony says he is his own man and that Pay Up (Big Jack and Bruce) had a job to do and did not get it done, and after Dustin Starr says that Anthony could not get it done like they did, Anthony says Starr's day and the fans' day is coming. He then says he wants a refund and that Pay Up owes him money after failing to take out "The GunShow" Brett Michaels, and Pay Up and Money Mark show up. Mike Anthony tells Pay Up and Money Mark had one job, but Brett Michaels is still walking, breathing and coming after the Memphis Heritage Championship. Money Mark tells Mike Anthony says he has plenty of money and that they can get plenty of things done, but Mike Anthony simply says "You're fired" and demands his money back, as he will deal with Brett Michaels himself. He also says that if they won't give him the money, he will make it back himself because he is the highest paid. Money Mark tells Mike Anthony he will have to go through Big Jack if he wants his money back.



Before the next match, it is reported that Big Kon and K-Toomer are brawling in the VIP area and are now brawling their way to the ring.

K-Toomer beats Big Kon. During the match, Big Kon puts K-Toomer's head through a chair.

Corey Graves and Kevin Owens replace Pat McAfee on commentary this week.

Becky Lynch heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Becky says she is glad to be back and on top, and that she missed the fans. She says that when she had to give up the Raw Women's Championship, it was one of the hardest things to do as she was also giving up an identity. She says she had to work back to where she once was, and while she has a new life and new priorities, and she is deadler than ever now that she has a family to fight for. On the subject of SummerSlam, Becky says she is sorry for absolutely nothing, as she has been in WWE long enough to know that everything is about timing and preparation, and all she needed was an opportunity. Suddenly, Bianca Belair shows up. Bianca says she is not here to make excuses, and tells Becky Lynch that she is not okay with what happened at SummerSlam, as she has been working too hard and too long for Becky to erase it all in twenty-six seconds. She then proposes that the two of them tear it down for the SmackDown Women's Championship tonight, then Zelina Vega shows up and says Bianca has been reduced to crying for a rematch. Zelina tells Bianca that she has embarrassed herself once before and that nobody wants to see that again, and that she should fall back and let her have the match with Becky Lynch. Suddenly, Carmella shows up. Carmella tells both Bianca and Zelina to step out of the way so Becky Lynch faces the most beautiful woman in WWE, then mentions being Sasha Banks' last-minute replacement before Becky showed up. Suddenly, Liv Morgan arrives. Liv says Carmella and Zelina are undeserving of the title picture when they lose week after week, and tells Becky that if she is looking for a contender, she is right here. Bianca tells Carmella, Zelina and Liv that they have lost their minds and that this is all between her and Becky, then asks Becky to give the people the match they want, which is the two of them tonight. Becky says "Nah," and leaves. After Becky leaves, Zelina and Carmella make fun of Bianca, and Bianca punches Zelina. As Carmella attacks Bianca, Liv pushes Carmella out of the ring.

Backstage, Paul Heyman asks Kayla Braxton if she has anything better to do as he waits for Roman Reigns. Suddenly, the door opens and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) come out, saying Roman has not arrived yet. When The Usos ask if Heyman will re-join Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman asks why he would tear down all they have worked to build up and that he did not know Lesnar would be here. When The Usos asks why they were sent back to the locker room, Heyman says Roman sent the order, not him, but The Usos doubt this.



Cesaro beats Chad Gable by disqualification after Otis attacks Cesaro during the Cesaro Swing. After the match, Chad Gable and Otis attack Cesaro, then Otis splashes Cesaro from the middle rope.



Kayla Braxton reports that Roman Reigns is arriving shortly when a white Bentley arrives. Baron Corbin steps out of the driver's seat with a new suit and hat, and asks to be addressed as "Happy Corbin." Corbin says that luck is finally on his side for the first time in months and that he is finally happy.

Happy Corbin heads to the ring. He asks the fans if they ever thought he would have a smile again, saying he thought his career and life was over and at rock bottom, but now, he looks incredible. Corbin also says that he did it all by himself and that he is the happiest man in the world before we see a video package where Corbin goes from rags to riches after taking $35 and getting lucky in the Las Vegas casinos. Corbin then says he was "the mayor of Jackpot City" and says he deserves it after betting on himself, and says he has new expensive clothes and that his wife welcomed him home with roast beef on the table. Corbin says again that he deserves it, then asks the fans to call him "Happy Corbin" before saying that there is something that could make him happier and asks Big E to come to the ring. Big E arrives. Big E says he is happy for Corbin and glad he does not smell anymore, and Corbin makes up for stealing the Money In The Bank contract by buying it for $20,000. Big E declines. Corbin goes for $50,000. Big E declines again. Corbin says Big E might cash in and lose it, and after Big E reminds Corbin that he also cashed in and lost it, Corbin admits he did and puts out one last offer: $100,000. Big E is tempted, but he says "Hell no." He then says he has a list of things Corbin can spend $100,000 on, such as a half-eaten sandwich, a pencil he found outside, and an Arkansas Razorback plushie. Corbin says it is fine, and that he is way too rich and way too happy for this. He then tells Big E to be miserable, cash in, lose and regret not taking the $100,000. Big E tells Corbin he is tired of him and his game and tells him to leave before he slaps him. Corbin leaves.



We hear from Edge, who says he defeated a generational talent in Seth Rollins. He says he does not like having to go to a dark place to find a savage version of himself, as it affected him wherever he went, but he did it. Edge says that the albatross around his neck that is Seth Rollins is over and done with, and that he is now moving on to the WWE Universal Championship. We then hear from Seth Rollins, who says that he has only one thing to say to Edge: congratulations. He says he has had a week to think about things, as it has been a great match and a great victory for Edge while it was a loss for him. He says their match taught him something about himself, and as much as he hates to admit this, Edge has his respect and admiration for what he has done for himself, and says that if he has to fight his way to the Universal Championship, he should be more like him.

He says that Lance Archer's loss has cost them time and that this is his chance to make up for it. Lance says that he will take everyone out, then Roberts says that the battle royal is like a wood chipper: a log goes in, and confetti comes out. As Roberts continues to put Archer on a pedestal, Tazz, "The Machine" Brian Cage and "Absolute" Ricky Starks show up. Tazz says he and Roberts have never crossed path, then says that a member of Team Tazz will win the battle royal.

MJF heads to the ring with his campaign committee. MJF heads to the ring with his campaign committee. Jon Moxley heads to the ring with a copy of the contract for their match from the stands. MJF signs the contract, as does Moxley. MJF says that everyone has seen a contract signing before and that they usually end in conflict, and as much as he would like to slap Moxley in the face for what he did to him, he will not do it. He says that unlike Moxley, he is not an animal and he can separate business from emotion, and tells Moxley to practice social distancing like his hairline. Moxley tells MJF he'll get there one day; he just has to hit puberty first. MJF tells Moxley that he is not a smart man, then says that people have been clamoring for their match before saying he never got the hype for Moxley, as he viewed him as a "one-trick pony." He then realized he was wrong about him and says that Moxley was "good...real good" after Mike Tyson pointed at Moxley and stated he did not want to be in a dark alley with him. MJF says taht nobody would like to be in that kind of danger, either, but at All Out, they will be in a wrestling ring, not a dark alley, and bad neck or not, Moxley will be the one in danger. MJF states he is a pro wrestling prodigy, and states that at All Out, he will systematically and concisely take Moxley apart and use every single part of the ring to his advance with the same steady hands and consistency as a brain surgeon. He then says that Moxley will panic as he is "a glorified goon" and not a wrestler, and that Moxley will not get him outside of the ring and into his territory, which is all he knows after idolizing guys like The Sandman, New Jack and John Zandig. He calls those men "hot garbage," and says he studied the "Ernie Ladds and Tully Blanchards of the world" and has too high of an in-ring IQ for Moxley to handle as he beats Moxley like the dog that he is. He states that Moxley's fans will be calling ASPCA, but it will be too late when he wears "pretty platinum" and becomes AEW World Champion, as the fans deserve better. He then says that if Moxley thinks he is better than him, then says he does not understand why Moxley needs the Paradigm Shift. MJF then questions Moxley's manhood and states Moxley knows he is not man enough to beat him without him, and if he isn't, Moxley might as well tell his wife MJF is single. Moxley stands up, and MJF's lawyer tells him to sit down and sign the paper or else he will sue. Moxley says he does not need the Paradigm Shift, but he does want to dump MJF on his head multiple times. He says that by banning the Paradigm Shift, MJF is only forcing him to get creative on how to hurt him and it only makes the match more interesting. He then signs the contract, but not before telling MJF that nothing MJF says matters and nothing he signs matters. He then tells MJF that at All Out, he is a dead man. MJF screams and calls Moxley an idiot, and his lawyer says this is the stupidest thing he ever did. Moxley then mentions page 17 of the contract. MJF and the lawyer - now suddenly taken aback - look at the contract, and Moxley states that next week, there will be a tune-up match between Moxley and the lawyer, and if the lawyer does not show up, MJF gets no title shot at All Out. The Paradigm Shift will also be legal during next week's match.

The Dark Order show up on the stage with a casket. Evil Uno says he has never been so happy, that Stu Grayson purchased two of the most beautiful vehicles on his dream list and that Brodie Lee bought six of the most exceptional lawnmowers known to man. Evil Uno then states that the casket is there for them to symbolically put Cody to rest, and when they open the casket, 10 is there with a fake Cody Rhodes tattoo and jacket. They then "bury' Cody to bury a prince and make way for a newking. They then bring out Brodie Lee, who shows up with Anna Jay and the AEW TNT Championship. Brodie Lee then has Tony Schiavone join him and The Dark Order in the ring for an in-ring interview. Brodie Lee asks Schiavone to look back to December, when he and The Dark Order were laughed off by the fans, then says he does what he says he will set out to do and that he took the TNT Championship like he said we would. He says that there is a lot of symbolism here, as The Dark Order has buried The Nightmare Family. He says there will be no open challenge, and that "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes will never get the title back. He then introduces Anna Jay as the newest member of The Dark Order. When John Silver sings Brodie Lee's praises, Lee smacks him, then says there is nobody who can touch him and that he is the hottest champion in wrestling. Suddenly, The Natural Nightmares ("The Natural" Dustin Rhodes and QT Marshall) run into the ring and attack The Dark Order, but they are easily outnumbered. Scorpio Sky then shows up and takes on The Dark Order, and he soon has Brodie Lee alone in the ring. Anna Jay slaps Scorpio in the face and Brodie Lee lays him out with a clothesline, then The Dark Order goes back on the attack until Matt Cardona shows up and joins The Natural Nightmares and Scorpio Sky in clearing The Dark Order out of the ring.



Backstage, Dasha interviews "Hangman" Adam Page at the bar. He is soon confronted by The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) for costing them a tag team match, then call him a drunk and a jobber to his face for his actions before kicking him out of The Elite. They then slam the door behind them so hard that the glass on the door shatters.



Before the next match, Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. says that if Big Swole can beat her team in a handicap match, she can have her in any match she wants.

Big Swole beats Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D., Reba and Penelope Ford in a two-on-one handicap match after Reba tries to hit Big Swole with a crutch only to inadvertently hit Penelope Ford.

Kofi Kingston shows up to start tonight's show. He says that Randy Orton likes to slither around the ring and say he is stupid, then asks who got knocked out last week from out of nowhere. He says that they have taken it up a notch, but Orton has taken it personal by involving his family and bringing in The Revival to take down Big E and Xavier Woods, while all he has wanted is to prove that he is the WWE Champion. In the end, Orton was cowering up the ramp with fear in his eyes because he saw the look in his eyes that says that he does not play around when someone messes with his family. Now they have a match at Clash of Champions for the WWE Championship, and he has the chance to prove Orton wrong when he said that he was not ready then and is not ready now. Suddenly, Orton shows up on the TitanTron and says there is nothing he would like better than to show how stupid Kofi, but he will wait for Clash Of Champions. He then mentions that someone has delivered to him a mysterious letter. Orton reads the letter, which tells him to stop hurting Kofi, for Kofi is not stupid and a good man while Orton is being a mean man. He then reveals that Kofi's son Kai wrote the letter. Orton then mentions that he is staying in the exact same hotel as Kofi's family, and while he does not need to be Kai's pen pal, all he has to do is pay him a visit right now. Kofi leaves the ring and heads to the back. Backstage, Kofi finds Orton, and both men brawl. Officials and referees try to separate both men, but Orton DDT's Kofi on the floor. Officials then check on Kofi before calling for a trainer.

Bayley and Ember Moon laugh, and Lacey says that she will prove it in the ring tonight.

Before the next match, The Miz says that Sami Zayn is now Shinsuke Nakamura's spokesperson and that both of them tried to take their frustrations out on him last week, but questions how the two of them share the same philosophy. He then says Sami Zayn could not hack it as a Superstar and that he is clinging onto Nakamura as a result, and says that if Nakamura thinks he needs Sami as a partner and that attacking him is a ticket to success, he has a problem. Miz says he made the WWE Intercontinental Championship the most prestigious championship in WWE and took it to the main event, and that he can do it again. He challenges Nakamura for the Intercontinental Championship at Clash of Champions. Suddenly, Sami Zayn shows up. Sami laughs at Miz's comments about him and Nakamura, then says that he is "a liberator" and that he has liberated Nakamura and made him stronger, faster and better than he has felt in years. He then laughs at The Miz talking about the Intercontinental Championship like it is still his, and says Nakamura is an artist, a poet and the king of strong style while Miz is the "king of soft style." He says he does not expect Miz to understand him, but says it is time some respect was beaten into him. Miz dares Sami to get in the ring and do just that, but Sami says "that's not how it works around here." Miz proposes he leave the ring to beat respect into him. Sami tells Miz he is making a mistake as Miz approaches, and Miz is suddenly attacked from behind by Nakamura as Sami cheers Nakamura on.

At Castle Marmiz, Mike and Maryse work on jigsaw puzzles. Maryse talks about how so much has changed in a year, and says that her life at home has gotten more quiet, and she feels she has gotten bored. After Mike mentions that SmackDown Live is tomorrow and Maryse agrees on going, Maryse finds out she is missing one piece for one of her puzzles, and she immediately thinks Pumpkin ate it. We then find out that Mike took the piece.

At an expensive hotel room in Los Angeles, California, Mike admits that he misses Los Angeles, and he wants Maryse to like Los Angeles so much that she wants to go back, but make it seem like her idea and not his. Meanwhile, Maryse wants to go back to Los Angeles, but she is not quite sure how Mike would handle that, as he seems happy with Austin, Texas and they have just bought a house there. Meanwhile, Mike feels moving to Austin, Texas was a mistake. As Maryse is dealing with lost luggage, Mike tries to cheer Maryse up in the shower.

Mike has rented a Ferrari for himself and Maryse (but mostly for himself). After Mike takes a photo of Maryse near the Ferrari, they go around the city in the car, which Maryse enjoys. When they get stuck in traffic, Mike seems annoyed to Maryse.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 27, 2018

Roman Reigns shows up to start tonight's show. Roman said he told Braun Strowman he would meet him at the start of the show, and he did not win the Universal Championship to hold it; instead, he is here to defend. If Braun doesn't show up, then this match will be the "Shield Workhorse Open Challenge." It doesn't take long for Braun Strowman to arrive, and he laughs at the term "workhorse" after Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins saved him last week. Roman says The Shield is a brotherhood of workhorse, and that nobody tells them what to do. He says they made their choice and know what it's like at the top of the mountain while Braun has no clue, and that while Braun's hands have lifted objects, his hands have lifted every title in WWE. He then tells Braun to step up and have their title fight tonight. Braun says he isn't cashing in tonight, because they and everyone knows that if he did, Ambrose and Rollins would try to save Roman again. Instead, he makes a deal: he will not cash in until September 16th, and all Roman has to do is show up for a Hell In A Cell Match, a place where they have never been before. Roman says that Braun is starting to sound like a monster, and offers his hand. Braun and Roman shake hands, then Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre show up. Ziggler complains about losing the WWE Intercontinental Championship to Seth Rollins after help from Dean Ambrose, saying the title was stolen from him. He says Seth has been playing catch-up since day one, and when he invokes his rematch clause, it will be on his terms as he and McIntyre will prove themselves to the entire world. McIntyre then says Strowman and Roman are a different story. Ziggler says he and McIntyre need a new challenge, and they're it. McIntyre mentions that Strowman and Roman sit at the top of the red brand mountain, but as they sit at the top, the only way to go is "tumblin' on down." Ziggler says they'd be more than happy to have that happen for them tonight. Roman says they sound tough from the stage, but they can get in the ring if they want to do it right now. Suddenly, Acting General Manager Baron Corbin shows up. Corbin tells everyone to settle down, and says this is why Commissioner Stephanie McMahon made him Acting General Manager. He announces Strowman's cash-in at Hell In A Cell is approved. He then makes a match that nobody could have dreamed up and will take Raw to the next level: McIntyre and Ziggler vs. Strowman and Roman. Strowman tells Roman that at Hell In A Cell, he is taking the Universal title, but tonight, Ziggler and McIntyre will get these hands. After everyone else leaves, Baron Corbin brags that he is an improvement over Kurt Angle as a General Manager, and for his third match, he makes one Angle didn't have the guts to make: himself vs. Finn Balor, the man. He says that he has prepared for this match for the last week while Finn Balor has just found out, and that match is next. Balor eventually shows up after Corbin keeps calling him out.



Finn Balor beats Baron Corbin by disqualification after Corbin uses a steel chair as a weapon...almost. After the match, Corbin says he forgot to make this match a no-disqualification match, and restarts the match as such. He hits Finn in the back with a steel chair, then hits End of Days to get the win.

Backstage, Dean Ambrose is met by Jinder Mahal and Sunil Singh. Jinder says he has sensed a great anger in him since his return and that he can guide him to spirituality instead of brutality. As he tries to guide Dean to inner peace, he asks Dean what he sees. Dean says he sees himself kicking Jinder in the teeth and breaking his face and his ribs before Jinder cries in pain. He then tells Jinder to get out of his face.

Seth Rollins shows up. Seth says that lat week was about taking care of some family business, and says The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Rollins, Roman Reigns) prides themselves on being workhorses and fighting champion. This week is Intercontinental Championship business, but since Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre, his dance card is wide open. He then issues an open challenge for the WWE Intercontinental Championship for anyone in the locker room who has the guts. The challenge is answered by Kevin Owens. Owens says he is so glad that Rollins is happy, but since he himself has come back to Raw, his life has been a living hell. He has wished to come back after being moved to SmackDown Live, but since then, things have not been good. He says that Rollins had a good SummerSlam only had his best friend by his side, and says that if he had his friend by his side, he would have beaten Braun Strowman and become WWE Universal Champion right here, right now. Unfortunately, Sami Zayn has been injured at the hands of a brute, and tonight, his awful summer will come to an end when he leaves with the WWE Intercontinental Championship tonight. He then says Montreal, Quebec, Canada would be a better place to win than in Toronto, Ontario, Canada before speaking French, then tells Rollins he is taking his title right now.

Dawson tells The B-Team to hold on to the tag team titles, as they just proved they can take the titles away from them any time they want to.



It is announced that SummerSlam 2019 will take place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Elias is in the ring. Elias plays guitar for the Toronto, Ontario, Crowd, then says everyone is gathered to see who wants to walk with him. He then says the fans will be tested and times will be tough, but as long as they do not stray from the universal truth that WWE stands for "Walk With Elias," they will be okay. Suddenly, Elias has an epiphany, and says that when Drake sang about staring from the bottom, he said that Toronto, Ontario, Canada was the bottom and there is no city lower than it. He says that he has been told that there is no bigger disappointment in life than going from New York City to Toronto, then all of a sudden, Trish Stratus shows up. Elias says things have changed since she left and that he is kind of a big deal, and while Trish is a big fan of his music, she wants him to silence his cellphone, turn off his camera and shut his mouth if he is going to badmouth Toronto. Elias says one of his performances is like the Stanley Cup as Toronto will never see it in their lifetime. Trish says that Elias will never win the WWE Championship in his lifetime. Trish then admits that after she retired and took her place in the WWE Hall of Fame, she never imagined that we would be less than two months from an all-women's WWE pay-per-view and that she would face Alexa Bliss in it. Elias hopes it will be a "swimsuit model pillow fight," but Trish tells him to pack up his guitar, take his floral kimono and scarves and walk up the ramp to the back. Elias says Trish is only here because she wants to walk with him just like thousands of other women, then breaks it to her that he "doesn't date women in their 60s." Trish slaps him for that, then "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey shows up. Natalya soon joins her on the stage, and they both head to the ring for the next match.



Before the next match, Alexa Bliss makes fun of Natalya, Trish Stratus and "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey. She compiments Trish Stratus on the yoga program before telling her all the yoga won't save her from the beatdown she will give her at Evolution. As for Rousey, she failed to break her arm so that she couldn't face her again, and she is not only medically cleared, she is invoking her rematch clause at Hell In A Cell. Alexa tells Ronda to enjoy the moment, because she is taking the Raw Women's title back. As for Natalya, they have a friend that she and Trish know all too well: Mickie James, who joins Alexa and Alicia on the way to the ring.



Natalya beats Alicia Fox with the Sharpshooter after Trish Stratus and "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey force Alexa Bliss and Mickie James to run away through the crowd. After the match, Natalya pays tribute to her late father Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart before she, Trish and Ronda celebrate in the ring.

Corbin brags about beating Finn Balor, but Lashley calls him out for changing the rules on the fly before asking why he was brought in. Corbin says he does not want to be forgotten, and says he has a match right now. As for his opponent, Corbin doesn't know who it is.

Before the next match, Acting General Manager Baron Corbin shows up on the TitanTron and finally remembers the name of Lashley's opponent...or rather, opponents, as it is a 2-on-1 handicap match against The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor).

Next week: The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella) vs. The Riott Squad (Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan)! The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) vs. The B-Team (Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel) for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships!

After the match, Strowman grabs Roman Reigns and beats him up, then directs traffic and has Ziggler and McIntyre go to town on Roman. Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins run in to make the save for Roman, but they are both easily overpowered. All three members of The Shield (Ambrose, Rollins, Reigns) fall victim to running powerslams from Strowman before Strowman, Ziggler and McIntyre celebrate to end the show.
