Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for June 11, 2026

Mike Santana retains the TNA World Championship against Eric Young. During the match, Eric Young knocks out the referee, and Santana has to revive the referee after hitting Eric Young with Spin the Block. Eric Young hits a low blow, then grabs the TNA World Championship to use as a weapon despite TNA President Carlos Silva's pleas. He hits Santana with the title, then hits Santana with a piledriver. Santana somehow gets his hand on the bottom rope. Young then puts the World title in the center of the ring, then Ricky Sosa shows up for the first time since Eric Young took him out. This gives Santana enough of a breather to roll Eric Young to win and retain. After the match, Eric Young runs to the back to go after Ricky Sosa, and TNA President Carlos Silva is about to personally hand the TNA World Championship to Santana only for "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth to show up with the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Trophy. Instead of cashing in on Santana, he helps Santana up, then takes the microphone and says that while he could pick the bones and cash in, he is a man of his word, and he will call his shot at Slammiversary. Nemeth says he does not want tricks, traps, excuses or an asterisk next to his name, and issues the challenge for Slammiversary to Santana, who is handed the TNA World Championship by Carlos Silva. Both Santana and Nemeth have a staredown, then shake hands.





Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Tasha Steelz, Special Agent Zero). Mustafa Ali gives "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth a round of applause for calling his shot at Slammiversary against Mike Santana, calling it "idiotic, but honorable." He says that while he lost to KC Navarro, Navarro lost his uncle earlier this week. He talks about how Navarro called his uncle a fighter until the bitter end, then says Navarro will do the same thing and lose to him. He then distastefully gives condolences to Navarro's family for the loss of Navarro's uncle as well as Navarro himself.

Before the next match, The Personal Concierge George Iceman introduces Mr. Elegance as a future TNA champion, "the spawn seed of the gods," "a titan amongst men with a body composition of 1% body fat," and "the opposite of all of you pigs." When Elijah makes his entrance, Elijah mentions AJ Francis trying to take his likeness and silence his voice as well as his fans', then says that is not going to happen. All of a sudden, a lawyer shows up and tells Elijah that he has been served. Mr. Elegance shoves Elijah into the lawyer and beats Elijah in mere seconds with an inside cradle. Mr. Elegance beats Elijah. After the match, AJ Francis mocks Elijah for losing the match just like he lost the rights to his image and will lose the lawsuit he just got slapped with, then boasts about making a lot of money while the fans cannot do anything about it. Elijah clotheslines AJ Francis out of the ring, then beats him up and takes it into the crowd as he goes. Meanwhile, Mr. Elegance celebrates his victory in the ring until Lei Ying Lee shows up and beats him up. Xia Brookside then gets in the ring and attacks Lei Ying Lee, and Brookside goes for Darkside only for Lei Ying Lee to fight back and hit Warrior's Way. Lei Ying Lee then goes up tot he top rope only for Brookside to escape.



As per the Bioflex Injury Report: The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) are out of action following last week's Wicked Garden match. Trey Miguel's condition continues to improve, and he could return to the ring in six to eight weeks. Moose has officially been cleared for in-ring action following his backstage attack.

Backstage, KC Navarro is met by "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth, who tells Navarro to do what he does. Navarro says he appreciates everything Nic has done for him, and appreciates that Nic did for Mike Santana. "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth shows up and says Nic should have cashed in, but Nic says he let everyone know that they will see who the better man is at Slammiversary. Santana says it is no secret that he trusts no one in the locker, yet he respects what Nic Nemeth did for him. He then says that he will win at Slammiversary, and that Nemeth will be shaking his hand. Navarro then asks The Nemeths and Santana to have his back. Nic is happy to do that, but Santana is led to the trainer's room by security, and a jealous Ryan says "I'm the baby brother, okay?"

The System (Eddie Edwards and Cedric Alexander) beat Leon Slater and Fabian Aichner. After the match, Fabian Aichner has to save Leon Slater from The System, and Bear Bronson gets in the ring. Aichner has Bronson up on his shoulders only to be attacked by Brian Myers. Suddenly, Moose shows up, and when he gets in the ring, everyone runs off. Moose says he is back and that it is time to put an end to this, and at Slammiversary, it will be him versus Eddie Edwards.



We hear from Director of Authority Santino Marella. He says that while he and Indi Hartwell won, everyone can go on with their lives. He also hopes that Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo and Arianna Grace come back with a better attitude. Indi Hartwell shows up and says she wants a rematch with Elayna Black, saying that the disqualification does not sit well with her. Indi's rematch is granted.

The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) head to the ring. Vincent says he warned that in the Wicked Garden, the vines do not let go, then says history was made when The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hard) met "the lily of the valley." He says it is beautiful and delicate, but poisonous beneath, and that he put it in Jeff Hardy's mouth to prove that even legends decay. Vincent says that for thirty years, The Hardys have survived ladders, tables, cages and time itself. He then states that when The Hardys entered the Wicked Garden, they were classified as obsolete. Dutch says last week was historic, as the soil of the Wicked Garden was fed well, and watching Jeff Hardy convulse to the truth left tears in their eyes. Dutch says The Hardys became the past while The Righteous have become tomorrow. Vincent then states that since they have beaten The Hardys in the Wicked Garden, there is only one thing left to hardest: the TNA World Tag Team Championships. Suddenly, Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up, and admits while that The Righteous give him the creeps, they are right, and it earned them a potential tag team title match. He says The Hardys have a rematch clause, and the titles will be defended in a three-way ladder match at Slammiversary. Vincent says that The Hardys are gone and that they are in control, but the lights go out and "Broken" Matt Hardy's laughter can be heard. When the lights come back on, a giant orange ladder is in the center of the ring. The Righteous are spooked. "Broken" Matt Hardy's theme then plays.



Before the next match, The Personal Concierge George Iceman demands respect for The Elegance Brand (Ash by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, M by Elegance) from "the filthy degenerates" in the crowd.

Allie, Rosemary and Mara Sadé beat The Elegance Brand (Ash by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, M by Elegance) in a six-Knockout tag match that sees an Ash by Elegance voodoo doll introduced into the proceedings.



Mustafa Ali retains the TNA International Championship against KC Navarro by submission with the Sharpshooter. After the match, Mustafa puts Navarro back in the Sharpshooter, then Nic Nemeth rushes to the ring. Mike Santana soon backs him up after a comedic shoulder shrug, and they eventually clean house and overpower Special Agent Zero. Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Tasha Steelz, Special Agent Zero) soon surrounds the ring, but back off just as immediately. All of a sudden, Mustafa Ali gets in the ring with the International Championship as a weapon, and Nemeth clocks him with a superkick out of nowhere. Nemeth then hits Santana with the Danger Zone to end the show.



Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!



Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for June 11, 2026

Before the next match, "Smart" Mark Sterling states that The Premier Athletes (Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari) are not playing around anymore and that the lawsuits are coming for anyone who either attack him, cheats to win against them or smell like "spoiled deli meat and bad life decisions." He also threatens to sue anyone who breathes in their general directions. Despite not being allowed to take part in the pre-match cheer, The Premier Athletes are told that they suck.

Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) beats The Premier Athletes (Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari).

Backstage, we hear from Angelico, who says that while he may have bit off more than he can chew, nineteen years of experience and training from Negro Navarro not only speaks differently, but makes him a dangerous man. He then mentions his ROH World Championship Proving Ground Match with Bandido.

Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, "The Captain" Shawn Dean, "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo) beats Los Colons (Eddie and Orlando Colon) and Serpentico in a six-man tag match.

Mason Madden beats Terry Yaki. After the match, Mansoor states that Mason won so handily that the crowd deserves dessert in the form of him in a bonus match. Mansoor then throws out an open challenge to "any uncultured swine in the back," and after Mansoor says that he will win the match in two minutes, the open challenge is answered by Ace Austin.

Ace Austin beats Mansoor.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Sam Letourneau interviews "The Real Deal" Zayda Steel and Red Velvet. Zayda says that The IInspiration (Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay) are seasoned veterans in tag team actions, but Red Velvet says there is nothing about them that is seasoned. Red Velvet has a strategy for their match, then provides Zayda with some red velvet cake-inspired ring gear.

"The Real Deal" Zayda Steel and Red Velvet beat The IInspiration (Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay).

Action Andretti beats Soleil after using the referee as a human shield.

Backstage, Sam Letorneau interviews Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) and Christopher Daniels. Dante says they will keep driving through the competition, even after Ariya Daivari busted his nose. He says that the students became the teachers and that Daivari is "sharp as a marble." Darius says that they are reacking up wins but still treading water, and they need a goal. Christopher Daniels, understanding their frustration, says the tag team division is in disarray, and tells La Faccion Ingobernables (Sammy Guevara and The Beast Mortos) to step up and defend the tag team titles. He says that it does not matter who Top Flight have to go through, as they will eventually stand across from La Faccion Ingobernables and become tag team champion.

Billie Starkz beats Robyn Renegade.

Backstage, Action Andretti says Soleil showed what he was made of and impressed him, but it was not enough. He says he embarassed Soleil like he did QT Marshall and Lio Rush, then says he is not the same man anymore and is not smiling and pleasing anyone because he does not trust anyone. He has learned that nice guys finish last, and that he has no problem being the bad guy, because it is time to put himself first.

Eddie Kingston and Ortiz beat The Workhorsemen (JD Drake and Anthony Henry).

Bandido beats Angelico in an ROH World Championship Proving Ground Match with a hurricanrana into a sit0down pin.

Summer Blockbuster - Collision recap for June 11, 2025

Collision begins where Dynamite ends, with "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada going up to the top rope and hitting Kenny Omega in the abdomen with an elbow drop. Christopher Daniels suddenly shows up and tells Don Callis and Okada to get out of the ring as Kenny Omega is placed on the stretcher. As Daniels is focused on Okada, Callis threatens the medical team with the steel baton, which allows Okada to hit Omega in the abdomen with another elbow drop, this time from the ring apron as Omega is on the stretcher. Kenny Omega spits out blood from the resulting internal bleeding, then Okada and Don Callis run backstage to a waiting silver-colored SUV, which speeds off as soon as Callis and Okada jump into it.

Adam Cole guests on commentary for the next match.

"The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher beats Anthony Bowens after Lance Archer beats Billy Gunn up on the outside, which distracts Bowens and allows Fletcher to hit the brainbuster for the win.



We see a video package painting MJF as an American hero before his match against Mistico at Grand Slam Mexico.

Carlos Cabrera is in the ring. He talks about the collaboration between AEW and CMLL for Grand Slam Mexico, then introduces Atlantis, who comes out to the ring with his son Atlantis Jr. All of a sudden, Stokely Hathaway and FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) show up, and proclaims that FTR are the only two living legends here before mocking Atlantis for his age and stating that Atlantis is scared due to everything that FTR has done in the last few weeks. Stokely lists the acts that FTR have performed in the last few weeks and calls Nigel McGuinness a "pill popper" who hopes that he will wake up in 2002 "when he was last revelant." He also brags about FTR causing Daniel Garcia and Adam Copeland to disappear from AEW in recent weeks, stating that Garcia will soon have an OnlyFans link and that Copeland's brain is "sizzling like a Fajita at Chipotle." Stokely mentions that FTR do not yet have a match at Grand Slam Mexico, but do not care how they get it. Dax takes the microphone, stating he is excited about the AEW-CMLL partnership and says Atlantis is "the oldest professional wrestler" in Mexico. Dax introduces FTR and Stokely, then asks questions of Atlantis and - much like with Templario and Atlantis Jr. - refuses to let him answer. After two answer, Atlantis punches Dax, starting a brawl. Adam Cole gets in the ring and fights FTR, but he gets jumped by Hechicero and The Don Callis Family ("The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita, "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher). Templario and Bandido also join in to even the numbers, but as FTR and The Don Callis Family get the upper hand, Brody King shows up and rights them all. Adam Cole, Bandido, Templario, Atlantis, Atlantis Jr. and Brody King soon clean house and leave Dax Harwood as the last bit of opposition in the ring. Atlantis makes it clear he wants Dax, and he chases Dax all over the ring and into the crowd as he gets a piece of him.



Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews The Learning Tree ("The Redwood" Big Bill and "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith). Big Bill says they have cracked skulls and stacked wins with Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona). Bryan Keith thanks Big Bill for having his back, then Big Bill demands another tag team to challenge, then the Workhorsemen (JD Drake and Anthony Henry) - who have not been seen in over a year - show up, and JD Drake says that they accept their challenge. Big Bill says that if they want their skulls cracked, "then by all means."

Mercedes Moné has a steak dinner at ringside for the next match. Before the next match can begin, however, Julia Hart and Skye Blue attack "Timeless" Toni Storm before the bell. Skye Blue gets ejected, and Mercedes Moné laughs at Toni Storm as the AEW medical team checks on Toni. Despite the pre-bell attack, Toni Storm yells "Ring the bloody bell already!" as soon as she gets back in the ring.

"Timeless" Toni Storm beats Julia Hart after avoiding a top rope moonsault and pinning Julia Hart with a small package. After the match, Mercedes Moné confronts Toni Storm, then sniffs her and tosses her to the match. Mina Shirakawa shows up to save Toni, and Mercedes briefly retreats before going after Mina. She throws Mina out of the ring, then raises up the AEW Women's World Championship before telling Toni to kiss it goodbye and pressing Toni's face against the center plate of the championship.



Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Ricochet. Ricochet says he is looking for the perfect group of individuals to make his dreams of championship gold a reality, then Lee Johnson and Blake Christian show up wanting to ally themselves with Ricochet.

Mark Briscoe, Tomohiro Ishii and Willow Nightingale beat MxM Collection (Mansoor and Mason Madden) and Taya Valkyrie in a mixed trios match.



In backstage footage from last week after Fyter Fest, Kris Statlander says that since Willow Nightingale is done with her, she is done with Willow Nightingale. She says there is nobody like her on the roster and says this is not good for anyone else, then Wheeler Yuta shows up and says he had to make tough choices to get where he is at, then says he is there for her for advice. He also tells Statlander to stop thinking about Willow Nightingale and what others think about her, and make her own decisions. Statlander walks past Willow, then has a brief staredown with Marina Shafir as they cross paths, much to the delight of Wheeler Yuta.

She accepts Mercedes' challenge for Grand Slam Mexico, then punches Mercedes in the face.

Backstage, "Hangman" Adam Page is met by The Young Bucks. Prince Nana overhears everything in the background as Matthew says they were not aiming for Swerve Strickland, then tells him to "stick the landing" and bring the AEW World Championship back to them according to plan. Hangman says there is no plan, and tells The Young Bucks to stay out of his, Swerve's and Will Ospreay's business. Hangman says there is no plan, and tells The Young Bucks to stay out of his, Swerve's and Will Ospreay's business.

Here are the highlights for tonight's Dynamite and Collision!



Summer Blockbuster - Dynamite recap for June 11, 2025

At the start of the show, Christopher Daniels tells "Hangman" Adam Page that he will be fighting both The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Marina Shafir) and The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) at the same time at All In Texas, and while he has friends in the locker room, Hangman should make some allies of his own. As Hangman walks away, The Death Riders (Claudio, Yuta, Shafir) follow.
Will Ospreay vs. Swerve Strickland ends in a 30-minute time-limit draw. After the match, Swerve says he and Ospreay are among the best because AEW is where the best wrestle, and that the only way to prove one is the best is to finish a match. He says he knows what kind of man Ospreay is and that he knows Ospreay wants to beat him, then proposes the match continues in sudden death overtime. All of a sudden, The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Marina Shafir) show up, and when Swerve confronts Claudio, The Young Bucks (Nicholas and Matthew Jackson) show up and attack Swerve from behind before hitting him with the EVP-Trigger. Prince Nana confronts The Young Bucks only to Superkick him, handcuff Swerve to the corner and Superkick Swerve repeatedly. The Death Riders retreat as The Young Bucks produce the custom-made Nike cleats that Swerve used at Anarchy in the Arena, but Ospreay gets in the ring and takes the bullet - and the Superkick - for Swerve. The Young Bucks leave as the fans chant "Fuck the Bucks!" and AEW medical checks on Ospreay.





Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada. Don Callis shows up before Okada can speak, then asks why Okada is facing Kenny Omega and not one of his own family members when his family has had a better six months. When Callis puts his hand on Okada, Okada almost breaks it until Don Callis' family shows up, then Okada lets go and calls Callis a bitch before walking away.

Backstage, MVP shows the rest of The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, MJF) attacking an unmasked Komander.

Mistico beats Blake Christian. After the match, The Hurt Syndicate arrives, and MJF congratulates Mistico on both winning tonight and impressing him before giving him a match next week at Grand Slam Mexico and looking forward to ripping his mask off. He says that Mistico will not just get any man; he will get the patriot, as he will dust off the red, white and blue and call himself an American hero once again. The MJF-style American flag suddenly unfurls and the red, white and blue streamers shoot out as patriotic music plays, then MJF gets in the ring only for Mistico to take the microphone, laugh at him, and cuss him out as he tells him he will see him next week. When MJF finds out what Mistico just said, MJF says that Mistico will always be "sloppy Sin Cara" to him and that he is about to get dropped. MJF strikes only for Mistico to block and hit back, then Lashley and Shelton gang up on Mistico. As MJF is about to rip Mistico's mask off, "Speedball" Mike Bailey, "The Jet" Kevin Night and Mascara Dorada show up and take The Hurt Syndicate out as they watch the entrance ramp. MVP swings at Speedball with his cane, but Speedball is able to avoid it. We then see AEW crew members removing the streamers. This starts the next match.



The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, MJF) beat "Speedball" Mike Bailey, "The Jet" Kevin Knight and Mascara Dorada in a trios match after MVP hits Speedball in the back. After the match, The Hurt Syndicate go back on the attack, then MJF unmasks Mascara Dorada in the ring while MVP attacks Speedball with his cane. Mistico returns and takes down MJF, taking him down and putting him in a Fujiwara Arm Bar before retreating as Lashley and Shelton go after him.

"Hangman" Adam Page is attacked by The Death Riders (Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli) while bound and gagged on the stage. Marina Shafir watches, briefcase in hand, as Jon Moxley heads to the ring and Claudio and Yuta continue to pin Hangman to the mat. Moxley apologizes and says he wants to make sure that he and Hangman have a real conversation, as Hangman's head is all over the place and he is focused on everything but himself. He says he wants Hangman focused because this is "do or die" for him. Claudio hits a few knees as Moxley admits that he has watched Hangman for a long time and has found him "complicated." Moxley says that Hangman has been searching high and low for something, then tells Hangman that he has four weeks to find it, step up and become the man that everyone wants him to become. He tells Hangman that if he is not prepared, then he can "pack [his] shit and get the hell out." Hangman headbutts Moxley, and Claudio and Yuta get back on the attack before wrapping a metal folding chair around Hangman's neck. All of a sudden, The Opps (Samoa Joe, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata, Powerhouse Hobbs) run out to the ring, and The Death Riders flee as Powerhouse Hobbs frees Hangman. Hangman says he has come too far for this, and says he would ride through Death itself to take the World Championship. He says that if he finds one member of The Death Riders tonight, he will have their heads. Hangman then leaves through the crowd.



Anna Jay and Tay Melo beat Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford after Penelope Ford demands the tag to take out Tay Melo only for everything to go wrong, with Tay Melo countering and Anna Jay holding Megan Bayne back from the ring apron.



We see a video package chronicling the rivalry between Kenny Omega and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada.



Tony Schiavone moderates the contract signing for the Winner Takes All Match for the AEW Continental Championship and the AEW International Championship between "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada and Kenny Omega in the ring. Okada is introduced first, followed by Omega. It is revealed that between the Continental Championship and the International Championship that are both on the table, there is a third championship covered in a black mantle between the two. This championship - known as the AEW Unified Championship, which has a plate with Kenny Omega on it on one end and a plate with Okada on it on the other - is unveiled. Okada signs the contract, then Omega mentions their last match from seven years ago. Omega says he does not recognize his past self, then says that they will do this one more time and leave it all in the ring before signing the contract. Omega offers to shake Okada's hand, and Okada obliges, then both men have the closer staredown before Don Callis suddenly shows up. Callis tells Omega he should be ashamed of himself and that the match should involve a member of his own family instead of Okada, but Omega has enough of Callis and says he has beaten everyone Callis has thrown at him. As Omega says there is not one trick that Callis can pull to stop that, Callis says he has one Omega did not know about. Okada then hits Omega from behind with the Continental Championship, then Callis produces a steel baton. Callis holds Omega down as Okada strikes Omega in the abdomen with the steel baton, and the fans chant "You sold out!" before Okada strikes Omega one more time and the AEW medical team checks on Omega, who is clutching at his abdomen. A stretcher is brought out, and Omega has to be placed on the backboard and the stretcher and then wheeled out as the show ends.

Kelani says she has won many gymnastics championships in her life, but nothing compares to becoming the first-ever NXT Women's North American Championship, and says that while it was a fight on Sunday, she will remember this for the rest of her life. She also says that with no prestige or legacy to uphold with her title, she has to make one herself, and she will prove day in and day out in the ring that no one can "do it like 'Lani." Jaida Parker shows up and says all Kelani Jordan proved is that she can scurry up a ladder like a squirrel, then namedrops "Michin" Mia Yim as she says she will be the next Women's North American Champion before she is suddenly attacked by Michin.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes heads to the ring. Rhodes says "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles has been a lot of things throughout his career, then says that he will add quitting to him to his career on Saturday. Suddenly, Trick Williams shows up. Trick says that he and Cody have had similar journeys, huge mountains to climb and huge chips on their shoulders to get to where they are now, and now that they have their championships on the other side of the mountain, everything feels different now. He says that instead of chasing something, they have what they chased, and now people are attacking them. He then asks Cody how he deals with all this. Cody says that even though they have conquered similar mountains, there is another mountain for Trick to climb. He then says he does not want to get ahead of himself, then says General Manager Ava has allowed him to reveal his next challenger for the NXT Championship. Cody announces that the next challenger will be decided in a 25-man over-the-top-rope battle royal, and some of the people in the match may come from different locker rooms. Trick stops Cody as he leaves, saying that July 4th is around the corner, and asks him if he is coming to the cook-out. Cody says yes, and both men hug before Cody's theme is played.

Roxanne says she has upheld her promise to protect the NXT Women's Championship and that there are levels to this and nobody is on hers. She says that the fans are just finding out what she has always known, then asks General Manager Ava to head to the ring. Ava shows up and congratulates Roxanne, but says it is about what one does as champion, not what one says. Roxanne says that Ava makes everything about her, and says that she will find a way to win against whoever she puts in line for her and that there is nobody who will take her title. Suddenly, Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx show up. Jacy, who is wearing "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes' mask on top of hers, says Roxanne has been taking credit for the entire women's division and that Roxanne lost her innocence as well as her memory, as she was a reason people tuned in to NXT before Roxanne's rise. Jazmyn says the last few weeks have made Roxanne forget that the biggest threats to her title reign are right under her roof, then Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson show up. Lash says Meta-Four has been making history every single week, and Jakara says since Roxanne wants to take credit for what they are doing, they are going after her and not Kelani Jordan. Lola Vice shows up and says that while Roxanne proved she was different at NXT Battleground, so did she, and her fists do not lie. She says it is only a matter of time and that only Roxanne is on her level. When Jakara tells Lola to shake her ass to the back of the line, Lola kicks Jakara in the head, starting a brawl, and Lola stands tall with Roxanne in the ring to end the show.

After the match, the referee sees Lamont's chain on the mat, thinks Country Rock used it to win, then awards the win to The L.A. Hustlers by reverse decision.

The Pinnacle head to the ring. Dax Harwood says Stadium Stampede did not go their way and that the match were not made for men like him and Dax Harwood, and while they and Proud 'n Powerful had similar starts, Proud 'n Powerful lost their edge while they did not and he has a family and a bank account, and for that, they had to end their careers and take food off of their families' tables. Harwood says he does not have a family and does not care about Santana's or Ortiz's, even after Santana and Ortiz have never won the tag team titles in two years and are happy with being a footnote in someone else's history. Shawn Spears says that Sammy Guevara is a "glorified indy wrestler" and not a hero, and that The Pinnacle are what professional wresters are supposed to look like. Wardlow says that Jake Hager is obsessed with him and needs him because he brings out the best in him in all of their matches, then says he is all for it and that in one week, he will prove that Hager is always in his world.

Callis tells Schiavone to stop insulting Kenny Omega, saying that he and Omega have overcome a conspiracy to take the AEW Championship off Omega, then calls Jungle Boy a one-hit wonder. Omega says that he should sell the match like Jungle Boy is a worthy contender, but he cannot bring himself to say anything disparaging about Jungle Boy because he sees a young Kenny Omega in him. He says that Jungle Boy will be a champion like him one day, but he and Callis agree that Jungle Boy does not have the guts to get in the ring with Omega. Suddenly, Jungle Boy shows up. Omega says that he has known Jungle Boy to be a promo guy, and says that he has nothing to say because he does not have the guts and because nobody is better than him on the microphone. Omega then gives Jungle Boy five seconds to say something, and Jungle tells Omega he talks way too much. Omega swings at Jungle Boy, but Jungle Boy ducks and the two men brawl. Jungle Boy goes for the Snare Trap, but Jungle Boy wisely rolls out of the ring when The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) show up.



We hear from Jade Cargill and Mark Sterling. Sterling says the monetization plan is in full effect and that Cargill is making 43% more money as it is ensured her family is fed for a long time to come. Cargill then says that the women's division cannot keep her out of their mouths, and says she is successful because she is "that bitch."



Backstage, Scorpio Sky says he and Ethan Page gave Darby Allin an opportunity to pick a partner who would not do all the work for him, but he could not even get that right and now wants to fight them alone.

That special guest is Drew McIntyre, who is also accompanied by the "pest of the world" Shane McMahon. McIntyre and Shane show up with Elias, and after Shane demands that ring announcer Greg Hamilton give him a proper introduction - which he gets - Shane announces that Elias is the special musical guest for this edition of Miz TV. After Elias plays on his guitar briefly, Shane says he did what he said he would do: beat Roman Reigns for the three count in the middle of the ring. He says that Roman should not be ashamed, for he lost to the best in the world. Elias briefly plays guitar again, then Miz asks Shane if he knows that his accomplishments are tainted before giving him a brief recap of his wins from the last several months. Shane tells Miz to do his job, and Miz responds by showing Roman's post-match interview from Super ShowDown. Drew responds by stating that Roman always lets his emotions get the best of him and that it will be his downfall at Stomping Grounds, and that when he destroys his opponents, he enjoys it. He also says he has a weapon in the form of the Claymore, and at Stomping Grounds, he will kick Roman's head off. Miz tells Drew that his potential is being squandered by being with Shane, and says that when Shane doesn't need him anymore, he will stab him in the back, and if he doesn't believe it, he should remember what happened to him. Shane chalks it up to holding resentment towards him, and says he has Roman's number just like he has The Miz's: zero, as neither Miz or Roman have beaten him. Miz tells Shane that he is not special and a talentless hack who won the lottery by being born a McMahon, and Shane says Miz has the DNA of a "baked potato" in the form of his dad. Miz stands up, but is stopped by McIntyre, and Shane says that if Miz wants another piece of him, they can do it right here, right now. Shane tells Miz he has his match if he can beat Elias and Drew McIntyre tonight, and if he can beat both of them, then he can have another shot at him. He then declares that it all starts right now.

Backstage, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville try to force Mandy Rose's magazine cover on Ember Moon, then Sonya slaps the smartphone out of Ember Moon's hand after she confronts them for what they did to Carmella last week.



"The New" Daniel Bryan and Rowan show up. Daniel Bryan says they are in for a real treat tonight, because "the planet's tag team champions" are putting their titles on the line against the "Yolo County Tag Team Champions" AJ Kirsch and Dave Dutra. After announcing that it is a title unification match, Daniel Bryan isn't able to say much else before Heavy Machinery (Tucker and Otis) show up. Tucker says that they are still ducking their challenge, and Otis calls them "elitist cowards." Tucker says they are blue collar solid, and Otis says they like to have "a damn good time." Tucker says that if they faced them, they would become tag team champions. Daniel Bryan tells Heavy Machinery they haven't earned anything, and tells them to earn it against the "Yolo County Tag Team Champions."

Heavy Machinery (Tucker and Otis) beat AJ Kirsch and Dave Dutra.



Backstage, R-Truth talks to Carmella about the trouble he has gone through with the WWE 24/7 Championship recently, but R-Truth has to hide. He hides in a box, but he is locked in. Carmella finds out her match is up next, and she has to leave. Jinder Mahal shows up and finds out that R-Truth is locked, and pretends to be Carmella so he can help R-Truth and also himself to the 24/7 Championship.

Sonya Deville beats Carmella following the distraction from Mandy Rose.



Backstage, Alexa Bliss is met by Nikki Cross, who is told by Alexa that there were a ton of bad things said after Nikki Cross unintentionally got involved in last night's match, and that she has gotten Nikki a match with Bayley to get back at her. She tells Nikki to see the faces of people who bullied her in the past when she sees Bayley's face, and not to hold back.



The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) show up, with Big E showing up for the first time in two months. Xavier Woods says today is a very important day, for today is the real return of Big E, who is in the ring with them. Big E says he is back, and says that if he had a title run for every return, he'd beat Charlotte Flair. Woods says that The New Day is back together and that they have a match that they will end quickly so he can get back to E3. That match is against Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler, all of whom have beaten by Kofi, who says that he will beat Ziggler again in a steel cage at Stomping Grounds. After Kofi says that Ziggler will not be able to run away from him at Stomping Grounds, Ziggler shows up. Ziggler says that while Kofi earned everything he has gotten, he betrayed him, the fans and himself, and the only reason Kofi is still champion is because Xavier Woods helped him out at Super ShowDown. After Ziggler states that even Kofi has to admit it should have been him, he states that there will be nothing or nobody to save Kofi when they are locked in the steel cage and the world finds out that Kofi could never beat him. Kofi mentions that Ziggler kicked Woods in the face first, and asks him if he thought he would not retaliate. Suddenly, Owens and Sami show up. Sami says that if there is one thing he and Owens cannot stand, it is injustice, and finds it odd that nobody is crying for justice after Woods kicked Ziggler in the face. He then goes on to say that the fans do not care about justice and have no morals or ethical code, and all that matters is who they like and don't like. He then says they don't care, for they are about righting wrongs. He then says that they will right the wrongs and that they also enjoy every opportunity they get to beat up The New Day. Big E says The New Day enjoyed Seth Rollins smashing a steel chair on him last night. Sami says that if it were someone else wearing a referee's shirt, there would be suspensions and firing, but because it was him, everyone cheered, and for that, the fans are hypocrites. Ziggler then says the biggest hypocrite of all is in the ring wearing the WWE Champion, but Big E says the WWE Championship is not about any of them, but about a man who will walk into the fire to prove he is the best at what he does. Kofi says that Ziggler might have said he took the coward's way out, but he will kick ass and take Ziggler's name at Stomping Grounds to remain WWE Champion.



Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Bayley. She has no problems with Nikki Cross, but if she wants to get caught up in Alexa Bliss' rumors, so be it. After she beats Nikki Cross, Stomping Grounds will be a moment Alexa Bliss won't forget.

We hear from Aleister Black, who says that there is so much conflict but so little resolution within SmackDown Live. He says he offers both in the form of a fight, but nobody has come to his door. He then asks someone to open a door, then yells through the door that the door is wide open, and begs someone to pick a fight with him.



Bayley beats Nikki Cross.



Backstage, Jinder Mahal is carrying a crowbar as a referee is with him. They look for the box with R-Truth in it, and believe they have to go to Los Angeles to find him on Raw. Meanwhile, the box with R-Truth in it is being carried by a forklift. Carmella shows up, but has no idea where R-Truth is.



Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Apollo Crews, who says that he is not here as an afterthought. Suddenly, Zelina Vega shows up and says that Andrade is still in a bad mood and suggests not provoking him unless he doesn't want a match ever again. After Zelina Vega leaves, Chad Gable is suddenly seen behind Apollo Crews taking notes.



The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) beat Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and Dolph Ziggler.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for June 11, 2018

The Raw participants of both Money In The Bank Ladder Matches are on top of ladders in the ring at the start of tonight's show. General Manager Kurt Angle then shows up. Angle talks about both Money In The Bank Ladder Matches that will be taking place this Sunday, and calls these Ladder Matches "the most grueling match in WWE history" before saying that the briefcase that allows for an instant championship cash-in is worth it. Suddenly, Constable Baron Corbin shows up, now with a shaved head and business causal clothing, and announces he represents the Commissioner and is here to see Raw runs smoothly. Angle wants to see both the men's and women's Money In The Bank Contracts come to Raw, and Corbin says that if they do not, there will be repercussions. Alexa Bliss says she may be hurt, but she will still win the women's contract. This soon leads to an argument between Alexa Bliss, Sasha Banks and Ember Moon. Natalya, when asked by Angle if she is ready, says she is ready to take the contract and hopefully cash in on "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey. The women argue again, then Kevin Owens says the odds against him are unfair. As he demands the briefcase be the same height for everyone and thanks Corbin on his new haircut, Braun Strowman threatens to beat Owens up before taking the contract on Sunday. Alexa Bliss screams to get Strowman and Owens to show up, then says she predicts Strowman will win the men's match. Sasha Banks predicts Finn Balor to win the men's match, and Balor predicts Sasha will win the women's match. Everyone then argues again before Strowman screams. Strowman then says that on Sunday, somebody is going to get these hands.



Natalya beats Ember Moon, Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks in a Fatal 4-Way Match with a Sharpshooter to Alexa Bliss.



Backstage, Finn Balor is lacing his boots when Kevin Owens shows up with a small bowl of olives. He says they should have a plan for the men's Fatal 4-Way Match tonight, but Balor is hesitant after last week. Owens says they have a lot in common: they are fierce competitors, they are former Universal Champions, and neither of them got their title rematch. He says that if Braun Strowman wins the contract and cashes in, he would be Universal Champion forever. He proposes that they and Bobby Roode all work together to take out Strowman, saying it does not have to be every man for himself; instead, it can be every man against monster.

Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre beat Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango). After the match, Ziggler says the tag team battle royal loss was a fluke and that he and Drew have put it behind them. He and McIntyre then use Breezango as examples that they are not just hype, and they tell all the teams in the back to take a good look, because the show starts and ends with them. McIntyre says he and Ziggler will save the tag team division by taking every other team out.



Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Roman Reigns, who is not surprised that Jinder is challenging him six days before Money In The Bank. He says Jinder is an idiot, and that he is not in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match because of him. He says that Jinder has earned everything coming to him, and now it is time to have some fun and deliver a receipt that is paid in full.

Before the next match, Jinder Mahal says he challenged Roman Reigns tonight to prove that Roman is not as unstoppable as he is, and while he is a multi-time champion who has main evented multiple WrestleManias, the winds are changing and he can see what the people cannot. At Money In The Bank, he sees Roman suffering, out of breath and unable to keep up with him, and he sees Roman being defeated after dishing out Khalass after Khalass. Suddenly, Roman Reigns shows up. Jinder then tells Roman that he has heard everything Roman said earlier, and says his failures are clouding his judgement. He then says that when he made the challenge, he didn't say he was the opponent, and announces that Roman's opponent is The Great...Sunil Singh.

Roman Reigns quickly beats Sunil Singh. After the match, Jinder Mahal rushes into the ring and hits Roman Reigns with the Khalass.



The B-Team (Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel) beat Heath Slater and Rhyno. After the match, Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt are seen clapping for The B-Team on the TitanTron. Matt says The B-Team's celebration is worthy of "a standing, broken O," then Bray says they are here. The arena goes dark, and Bray and Matt appear on the stage when they come back on. Matt congratulates The B-Team for proving themselves as contenders to the Raw tag team title, but tells them to beware, for they are all-knowing. Bray says The B-Team are surrounded by the woken and the fireflies, and that they are always watching them. He says The B-Team's insides are burning like the river Styx, and that is fear he placed in them to remind them they bought the ticket and they will have to ride. Matt says the game is now afoot, and when they are done, they will eat and delete The B-Team.



Backstage, Elias says he will do his best, though tonight's performance will be tough for him as he is not used to performing in front of Arkansas hillbillies.

Elias is in the ring. He tells everyone to remember this moment right now, as he is a once-in-a-lifetime performer and he is in his final moments before he becomes the WWE Intercontinental Champion. At Money In The Bank, Seth Rollins will know that WWE stands for "Walk With Elias." He then tells everyone to silence their cellphones and hold their applause so that he may perform. He says it is hard for everyone to contain their excitement when he is performing, but he demands everyone shut their mouths. He then sings about Seth Rollins and proceeds to mock him, then verbally trashes Little Rock, Arkansas. Elias then says he was not going to do this, but he has something to show everyone. He then reveals a custom-painted Fender guitar with his name and the WWE Intercontinental Championship that was given to him by John Mayer. He then announces that next week, he will perform the best song of his career with the Intercontinental Championship around his waist. Seth Rollins then shows up and sends Elias out of the ring, and asks Elias when he will get some guts and stop being a coward. He tells Elias he is not hard to find and that he is in the middle of the ring every night begging for a fight, and that all he had to do is ask. He then says the worst part of it all is that he wanted to like him, as he is talented. He then looks at the custom-made guitar, which has been left in the corner in the ring. Elias begs Rollins off from the stage, but Rollins takes a closer look. He picks up the custom-made guitar and looks at it, saying it looks nice. He then asks the audience if they got a good look at it, and says that he would hate for the guitar to go to waste. He then holds a charity auction for the guitar in the middle of the ring, and Elias tries to bid on the guitar to get it back. Rollins apologizes to Elias and lays the guitar down, saying he does not want to hurt it as the craftsmanship is nice. He teases stomping on it, which scares Elias half to death. Elias begs Rollins not to destroy the guitar, and Rollins says that while he can't play an instrument, he knows a song with three words to it: Burn It Down. He asks the Little Rock crowd to chant it, then curb stomps the guitar. Rollins then mockingly plays the guitar, much to the irritation of Elias.



Backstage, Kevin Owens tries to get Bobby Roode to work together with him and Finn Balor in tonight's Fatal 4-Way Match to stop Braun Strowman from winning.

Backstage, The Riott Squad (Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan) trash a hallway before cutting a man's tie off with a pair of scissors.

Ruby Riott beats Bayley following the distraction by Sarah Logan. After the match, Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan hold Bayley down, and Ruby Riott draws an "R" on Bayley's stomach before hitting Bayley again.



Backstage, Natalya meets with "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey. Natalya asks Ronda to never take her eyes off Nia Jax, as she wants her to be ready.

Jonathan Coachman moderates the face-to-face meeting with Nia Jax and "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey. Rousey is introduced, followed by Nia Jax. Nia Jax says she and Ronda are very competitive outlets, and while walking down the red carpet is one thing, it will get intense in the ring. She pushes Ronda's buttons to see how she would react, and while Ronda is beautiful and talented, she is still very new to the WWE. She admits that Ronda's success came from MMA, and that there are things in the UFC that one cannot do in WWE. She then promises to show what she is all about on Sunday. Ronda says she can improvise, and that she will improvise her arm off. She is confident, but she has earned the right to be confident despite being in only one WWE match. Nia Jax admits Ronda's first match was impressive, though it was in a tag match against Commissioner Stephanie McMahon. She says that she has been here a while and that she has been grinding, and that she is Raw Women's Champion because of that. If Ronda wants to take her arm on Sunday, she will take her reputation, because they will be calling her "the baddest woman on the planet" when she is done. Nia says she knows she can beat her, and that is why she challenged her, for in the end, she is just not ready. Ronda gets up from her chair and asks "Not ready?" She then says she is used to people telling her she was not ready and proving those people wrong. She then says she was born ready and takes her jacket off. Nia Jax gets up and lifts up the Raw Women's Champion, then tries to attack her. Ronda blocks her forearm, but Nia Jax headbutts her. Nia Jax continues to hold Ronda, who then puts Nia in an armbar. Nia tries to block it while Ronda tries to lock it in, and Nia tries to pick Ronda up and powerbomb her. Ronda wrestler back down to the mat, and Nia starts tapping out while on her knees.



Backstage, Curt Hawkins watches No Way Jose and his conga line dance by.

No Way Jose beats Curt Hawkins. During the match, Curt Hawkins shows up out of nowhere from the crowd and tries to get an upset win on Jose with a schoolboy pin, but Jose kicks out and beats Curt Hawkins, bringing Hawkins' loss streak to 201.



Backstage, Finn Balor talks with Bobby Roode. Roode suggests they listen to Kevin Owens, but at the same time they keep an eye on him. Finn says he'll do that as well as keep an eye on Roode.

WWE crew members set up an obstacle course around the ring as we see a video featuring Big Show and Special Olympics powerlifter Katie Millar as part of WWE's partnership with Special Olympics.

Renee Young interviews Sami Zayn on the stage. Sami says he has challenged Bobby Lashley to an obstacle course because he legitimately asked Lashley if he was ever in the United States Army. He then says that despite people sending proof, he cannot legitimize these claims. As a result, he has set up an Army-style obstacle course with a tire flip, low crawls, a wall jump consisting of three wooden walls, monkey bars and a rope climb, and all the while, he says Lashley will fail and that he is better at this than Lashley will be. He then says that when Lashley fails, it will prove that Canada has the best military in the world and not the United States. Lashley then shows up, and says everyone is tired of hearing Sami and that he will beat the obstacle course before beating Sami on Sunday. A coin is tossed, and Bobby Lashley goes first on the obstacle course. Sami says the timer starts on his count, and Lashley powers his way through the obstacle course in 42 seconds. He is then blindsided by Sami Zayn. Sami Zayn hits Lashley with a Helluva Kick, then referees and officials check on Lashley while Sami is held back.



Backstage, Kevin Owens formulates a strategy against Braun Strowman with Finn Balor and Bobby Roode. Finn says they have not agreed to anything, then Braun shows up and says he has a great idea: all three of them teaming up on him.

Braun Strowman beats Kevin Owens, Bobby Roode and Finn Balor in a Fatal 4-Way Match despite being frog splashed through the commentary table from the top of a ladder by Kevin Owens as well as taking everyone else's finishers.
