Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for June 17, 2026

Lexy Nair interviews MJF and The Don Callis Family. MJF says that the AEW World Championship is the only world title that matters and that he is the best in the world, then mentions everyone he is teaming with - "The Jet" Kevin Knight, Andrade el Idolo, Jake Doyle, Kazuchika Okada, and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher - and says he is better than all of them. He then says that while everyone else he has mentioned is a star, Mark Briscoe is not, and that he hates Mark because the fans only like him because his brother died and because he is delusional enough to think he can take his title. Don Callis says that his family will be bringing the power tonight, and as he lists who will be in the ring tonight, Andrade wants nothing of a partnership with MJF. Don Callis tells Andrade that he will be a great world champion, "but for now, do the match."

Kenny Omega beats Tony Nese. After the match, Kenny Omega takes the microphone, but he is interrupted by Zack Sabre Jr., Mikey Nicholls and Bad Dude Tito before he can even speak. Omega gets out of the ring and slides the microphone over to the threesome and he walks to the ramp and is soon joined by Jack Perry and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson). Sabre then kicks the microphone back to Omega. Omega addresses Sabre, noting that he has gotten his message loud and clear and that both men have something the other want. He knows Sabre wants to beat him, but he wants to beat Sabre.

Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) beats The Death Riders (Jon Moxley and Daniel Garcia).

Backstage, we hear from "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada. Fletcher says they will be in tonight's main event and Forbidden Door's steel cage match, but they will still be bringing the International Championship back to The Don Callis Family. Okada agrees, As they wonder who will stand across the ring from them, they soon reveal who will not be: Tomohiro Ishii, who the two of them have laid out.

Backstage, we hear from Tommaso Ciampa. Ciampa says he has just one reason to hate Chris Jericho, yet he did not always hate him; he used to respect him. He admits he hates what Jericho is now, and wants this Jericho out of his world. He then says that if Jericho still has it in him and considers him worthy, then they can dance. He says the ball is in Jericho's court, and that he should not drop it.

The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay) are met by Adam Copeland and Christian Cage before they can head to the ring, and this leads to a brawl between the two teams that makes its way to the ring. Finlay saves Connors before Copeland and Christian can both rush at him, then Christian says that after what happened a couple of weeks ago, most people are expecting him to say something unsavory about a family member. He then says that even he has standards, and by that, he has never come cross another tag team who are named after their mothers. He also says that if Finlay thinks he is a gift to wrestling, then his father should have let him run down the inside of his leg. Copeland says The Dogs have been on a winning streak lately and why he is jumping and mocking them in order to make a name off of their backs, then says that he and Christian are The Dogs' learning curve. Copeland lists the tag teams they learned and picked intangibles from, then says that at Forbidden Door, he and Christian will use their old man strength, knowledge and grumpiness to make sure they walk out of their house as "housebroken little pups."

Backstage, we hear from Thekla. She says that she did everything Starlight Kid did in Japan, and while Starlight Kid became a hero, she was kicked out and had to go it on her own. Thekla says she does not have to worry about being anybody's favorite wrestler like Starlight Kid does, and tells Starlight Kid to stay in Japan, because she runs AEW on the other side of the forbidden door.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Brodido (Brody King and Bandido). Bandido is excited that they have beaten The Death Riders (Jon Moxley and Daniel Garcia), and Brody King proved that they are still the best tag team in the world. Bandido then declares for the AEW Continental Championship at Forbidden Door. Garcia and Moxley show up, and Moxley tells Bandido that if he wants a shot at the Continental Championship, he will have to go it alone. Bandido says he is ready, and Moxley says "Shoot your shot, compadré."

Tony Schiavone introduces Will Ospreay followed by Swerve Strickland for a face-to-face meeting. Before introducing Swerve, Schiavone mentions that Ospreay has recently tied the knot with Alex Windsor, who has agreed to postpone the honeymoon so that Ospreay can chase the AEW World Championship. Swerve then shows up with Prince Nana, who makes fun of Schiavone's suit before telling him to get out of the ring and handing the microphone to Swerve. Swerve says it has been a year and that he has been keeping an eye on him, then says Swerve has changed and that he does not like it. Ospreay asks if they have a problem, to which Swerve says yes, as he finds it weird that Ospreay is hanging around Jon Moxley. Ospreay says he has not forgiven or forgotten what Moxley did to him, and that he had to let it go. He says that he and Moxley are training partners, and his neck feel great and his ground game is better. Ospreay mentions everything that happened at All In Texas last year and how Swerve did not help out with taking the AEW World Championship off of Jon Moxley. He asks why Swerve did not help, then smacks the microphone before stating Forbidden Door is bigger than an explanation. He says that Forbidden Door is Swerve's redemption, but it is his destiny. He says that this is the semi-finals for his World Cup and he wants to kick the winning goal at Wembley Stadium, and that Swerve is standing in the way of his dream and will not hesitate to end it. Ospreay says he will end Swerve if he has to, but Swerve says "Not if I do it first." Swerve mentions Ospreay saying that last year was "Hangman" Adam Page's time and how he agreed with him and fought alongside him, then asks where Hangman is now. He says that everything they did off Ospreay's word was for nothing, and that he will not just step aside for him. Swerve says he is done stepping aside to let people take opportunities he deserve and letting veterans step on his time. Swerve says he has made a career out of throwing Molotov cocktails at the system, as has Ospreay, and that the two of them have changed the conversation on what pro wrestling before and they will do it again at Forbidden Door. Swerve then says his victory is certain, as Ospreay has not beaten him in ten years, and when he goes over him to Wembley and wins the AEW World Championship again, Ospreay can challenge him again and get beaten again. He says that Ospreay is not better than him on his worst day with a fragile neck, and Ospreay punches Swerve. Prince Nana hands Swerve a chain, and The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia, PAC, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) show up. Swerve tells Ospreay that he really ahs changed before leaving with Prince Nana on the ramp.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Chris Jericho. Jericho proposes that he and Tommaso Ciampa meet face-to-face and get serious on Collision.

Backstage, Jon Moxley tells Will Ospreay that words cannot hurt unless one lets them and not to lose control or focus as Ospreay is about to jump Daniel Garcia for mentioning what Swerve Strickland said earlier.

Before the next match, Mark Briscoe says he has heard it all before and that he has some partners in Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong and that Tomohiro Ishii will be back. Kyle O'Reilly mentions that if anyone gets disqualified, they are out of Forbidden Door. Briscoe says that they will have to do things by the book, then introduces someone who wants to get their hands on "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher: "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita. Takeshita says he hates both Fletcher and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, then Briscoe introduces someone who is not fond of MJF or Kevin Knight: Darby Allin, who says that they will win tonight before Mark Briscoe takes the AEW World Championship.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

After the match, MJF and the The Don Callis Family goes on the attack, then MJF tells Andrade to get Briscoe up so he can hit him with the Dynamite Diamond Ring. Andrade only does it when Don Callis tells him to, and Mark Briscoe gets dropped by MJF to end the show.

He talks about how his family is splintered, then says he wants trust and loyalty out of Luca Crusifino and is getting neither. He then demands Crusifino enter the ring so they can discuss things. Crusifino shows up and sys he is telling D'Angelo the truth about how Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo took him to the desert, dropped him off, and saying it was his lucky day. D'Angelo asks if he can trust Crusifino. Crusifino says yes. Crusifino says he should have struck Stacks when he had the chance. D'Angelo demands to know if Crusifino is with Stacks, but before Crusifino can answer, Stacks show up with his own men. Stacks says D'Angelo has the truth, but is afraid to admit it. He then asks Crusifino if he has ever questioned his loyalty, then says there is a reason he saved him in the desert: because Crusifino would never be good enough to be D'Angelo's consigliere. At this point, Stacks and his men are on the apron, and they go on the attack. In the brawl, Crusifino inadvertently hits D'Angelo as he aims for Stacks. D'Angelo is angry.

Backstage, Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and KC Navarro) meet with Trick Williams. AJ Francis tells Trick that KC Navarro is not medically cleared for tonight's match, and AJ replaces him with Wes Lee. The High Ryze (Wes Lee, Tyson Dupont, Tyriek Igwe) show up, and Wes Lee mentions their history. Trick acknowledges it and apologizes for slapping Wes, then everything is good between Trick and Wes for tonight.

At Chase University, Andre Chase finally ticks Kale Dixon and Uriah Connors off in the classroom, and that leads to Dixon and Connors leaving.

She says that WWE has always been her dream, and now that she is here, the division is all hers. She says "The Glamour" turns heads, raises the bar and defines what it means to be a star, and that the spotlight is finally on her. Monroe produces her own pen and signs the contract, then Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx) shows up. Jacy wants to know why Ava is "kissing the newbie's ass" and that Fatal Influence have run the women's division all year and have not received one celebration for it. Jazmyn mocks the attention Blake Monroe is getting and says she is delusional for thinking she can take what they built.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for June 17, 2024

Seth "Freakin'" Rollins heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Rollins says he has seen and done it all and got into the business not to be one of the best, but the very best of all time, and he cannot do that without getting back the World Heavyweight Championship. He says that Money In The Bank is only a few short weeks away and that he knows how to climb a ladder pretty well, and he is familiar with the contract and how it is the fastest way to get back in the mix for a shot at the title. Suddenly, Damian Priest heads to the ring and welcomes Rollins back, and admits that he wanted to cash in the Money In The Bank contract on Rollins, and while it did not happen, he still did okay, then tells him that this is his show now. Rollins says he likes where Priest is coming from, especially after he nearly lost a leg on Saturday, then says that the two of them are a lot alike as they both made their names in groups and have won Money In The Bank and bided their time until WrestleMania. He then says that the difference between them is that he "grew a set," and realized that he had to stand on his own two feet to be the best, then asks Damian Priest what kind of champion he wants to be. Priest mentions being Rollins' first title challenger and admits that Rollins was the better man that night, then says things have changed, and proposes a match for the World Heavyweight Championship at Money In The Bank. Rollins thinks this is a trap, but Priest tells him that The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Priest, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh) does not know he is even out here, and asks Rollins if he wants the match or not. Rollins accepts. Rollins then tells Priest that while he is around, the show will always be "Monday Night Rollins."

In backstage footage from earlier today, General Manager Adam Pearce is met by Alpha Academy (Chad Gable, Otis, Maxxine Dupri, Akira Tozawa). Gable demands a rematch against Sami Zayn for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, but Pearce wants him to earn his way back into a title shot. Gable says he is a leader and deserves to be at the front of the line, then tells Pearce to find someone worthy for him. Pearce says he has the perfect opponent for him, then Gable chews out Tozawa.

Chad Gable finds out that his opponent is Braun Strowman.

Braun Strowman beats Chad Gable. After the match, Chad Gable demands that the rest of Alpha Academy (Otis, Maxxine Dupri, Akira Tozawa) get in the ring. Tozawa is the first to get chewed out, but despite her injuries, Maxxine stands between the two of them. Gable responds by taking Maxxine's crutch and tossing it out of the ring, then forcing her to leave the ring. He then chews out Tozawa again before slapping him. Otis hears the slap, then confronts Gable. Otis shoves Gable into the corner, then walks away and helps Maxxine and Tozawa to the back after taking one last look at an angry Gable.

We find out that Finn Balor had taken Liv Morgan's hotel room key and placed it on the table last week.

Backstage, The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Damian Priest, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh) and Carlito agree that they have to get rid of Braun Strowman. As Finn Balor tells Damian Priest says that he has his back, Priest says he knows that Finn has been acting strangely, and wants to know where his head is at. Finn says that he will be cashing on "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes if he wins the Money In The Bank briefcase. Meanwhile, Dominik is looking for his purple cow vest, but cannot find it.

Iyo Sky beats Kiana James and Zelina Vega in a Triple Threat Match to qualify for the women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match after Liv Morgan shows up wearing "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio's purple cow vest, which distracts Zelina Vega.

Sami Zayn heads to the ring. Sami says he is proud to walk out tonight still Intercontinental Champion, and says that Chad Gable did not make that easy. He says everything started because he beat Gable in a wrestling match, but now, it is over because he beat him in a wrestling match. He says that as far as he is concerned, he is moving on from Chad Gable, but he is lying if he said he could move on from the rest of Alpha Academy (Otis, Maxxine Dupri, Akira Tozawa), as it reminds him of his time in The Bloodline and what he has learned from leaving it. He says that he and "Main Event" Jey Uso did not leave until they were ready, and when Alpha Academy is ready, they will leave Chad Gable. Sami then says he is ready to defend his title against anybody and everybody, then Bron Breakker shows up. Bron Breakker says it is obvious why he is here and what he is capable of, as he has left a bunch of bodies since he showed up and Sami is next on the list, as he is taking the Intercontinental Championship. As Sami asks Breakker if he really wants the title, Sheamus shows up and says he has chased the Intercontinental Championship for five long years, and says he should get the title shot. Sheamus says that he respects Sami, but when the opportunity arises, he will be taking the title, but Bron Breakker interrupts Sheamus and threatens to kick his ass for being in his way. Sheamus says he gets where Bron Breakker is coming from, but Bron Breakker has "no skin in the game" and is still "the new kid." He then tells Breakker to get to the back of the line before he makes him. Sami says the two of them need to sort things out, and says he will talk to General Manager Adam Pearce as the fans are here to see them fight it out, not talk it out.

We hear from Dragon Lee, who talks about how Carlito took him out like a coward, and says that he will finally get his revenge. He says that Carlito will learn that when you mess with the dragon, you will get burned.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews The Unholy Union (Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn). Alba Fyre says they are still on the high of their championship win, which is everything they have worked for, but Isla Dawn says the celebration is over and the hard work starts now, and they will take out everyone who gets between them and their titles. "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark show up, and Shayna says that they had them beat not once, but twice, and Zoey says that they are keeping their titles warm and that they are coming for the titles.

Carlito beats Dragon Lee. During the match, Liv Morgan shows up wearing "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio's purple cow vest, and this time, Dominik sees her wearing the vest. Zelina Vega attacks Liv, and Rey Mysterio and Joaquin Wilde brawl with Dominik and JD McDonagh. This distracts Dragon Lee, and Carlito gets the win with the Backstabber in the corner.

We see backstage footage from Clash at the Castle where CM Punk is watching the World Heavyweight Championship match when he borrows a referee's shirt from Jessica Carr.

We see strange images as we see Drew McIntyre backstage.

Backstage, Chad Gable chews out the rest of Alpha Academy (Otis, Maxxine Dupri, Akira Tozawa) when Otis packs up and leaves. Otis says he is done, then Maxxine Dupri and Akira Tozawa leave with him. Gable says they are done when he says they are done, then he expels them all. Gable then promises that he will win Money In The Bank and cash in like Otis never did to become a world champion.

Drew McIntyre heads to the ring. McIntyre is hung up on CM Punk as he tries to figure out what to say, then says "I can't do this anymore. Screw this company. I quit." General Manager Adam Pearce shows up and tries to reason with him McIntyre as he heads to the back.

In backstage footage from during the break, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque tries to reason with Drew McIntyre, but Drew McIntyre says he is done.

Katana Chance and Kayden Carter beat Damage CTRL (Dakota Kai and Kairi Sane) after Lyra Valkyria shows up and distracts Damage CTRL.

Backstage, Iyo Sky once again tells Dakota Kai and Kairi Sane that Damage CTRL (Dakota, Iyo, Kairi) has to change or that she will change it herself.

Sami Zayn watches from ringside for the next match.

Sheamus beats Bron Breakker by disqualification after he is attacked from the outside by Ludwig Kaiser. After the match, Sheamus and Kaiser brawl on the outside, then Breakker hits Sheamus with a Spear. Officials have to get Breakker to head to the back. Afterwards, Kaiser goes back on the attack on Sheamus, then he backs up to the ramp and tries to injure Sheamus' leg on the ring apron only for Bron Breakker to head Kaiser off at the pass and Spear him. Sami Zayn then gets in Bron Breakker's face, and both men have to be kept separated by officials.

Backstage, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio finds Liv Morgan, who is wearing his purple cow vest. Liv says Dominik can have it back if he can take it off of her himself. When he does, he gets caught by Damian Priest, who tells him to get the vest and go to the clubhouse. Dominik gets his vest and leaves, then Priest tells Liv to leave Dominik alone, as he wants nothing to do with her. Liv laughs and says that Dominik has everything to do with her, then leaves.

We hear from Karrion Kross and Scarlett backstage. Kross mentions the feud going on between Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar) and The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) and how The New Day beat him up two-on-one, then - thanks to Scarlett - proposes The New Day to a one-on-one match with no seconds at ringside. He then insinuates that Kofi will answer as he wants Woods in the back, anyway. We then hear from The New Day, who say that Karrion Kross has done nothing since becoming NXT Champion and is in no position to give them advice. Kofi then accepts the challenge, since Kross wants to namedrop him.

Backstage, we hear from "Main Event" Jey Uso, who is surrounded by fans as he says that he needs to qualify for the fans and cash in to become World Heavyweight Champion.

"Main Event" Jey Uso beats Finn Balor and Rey Mysterio in a Triple Threat Match to qualify for the men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match. Before the match, it is announced that Drew McIntyre has deleted all of his social media accounts. During the match, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh and Carlito attack Rey, but they get chased out through the crowd by Braun Strowman. Near the end of the match, Finn is able to hit Rey with the Coup de Grace, but Jey hits Finn with the Uso Splash afterwards to get the win and qualify. After the match, the lights go out little by little, Bray Wyatt style. A door opens, and a life-size Sister Abigail/Abby the Witch crawls out. She crawls towards a lit lantern, then stands and points backwards towards the door. Some security guards are laid out as a man in a rabbit mask - representing Ramblin' Rabbit - with a sledge hammer with the word "Help" on it is seen. The gorilla position is is ruins, and a figure in a buzzard skull mask - representing Mercy the Buzzard - sits nearby as people are laid out. Another person in a pig-shaped gas mask - representing Huskus the Pig - is seen, and Chad Gable is seen laid out. We then see Uncle Howdy, who looks at the carnage as the other masked beings join him. Uncle Howdy then makes his way towards the crowd, then picks up the lantern.

Collision Course - Collision recap for June 17, 2023

At the start of the show, CM Punk heads to the ring in his first AEW appearance since All Out 2022, with a pair of boots around his neck and a red bag in his hand. CM Punk says that he is tired of being nice after being gone for ten months with a torn tricep, but he is still here, and as long as he is, this is the professional wrestling business. He calls it "a business for grown-ups" and not a popularity contest he would have lost a long time ago, then admits that 15-year-old him never would have guessed he had no idea he would sell out so many venues as a professional wrestler. He tells the fans to tell him when he is telling lies (which he does a few more times during his promo). Punk says he is tired of being nice and that he got here on the backs of passionate fans, and he has never fit in more in any place other than professional wrestling, and says he loves the fans and that the fans love him because he has never compromised. After stating that the fans made it possible, Punk admits there are people who hate him for the same reason the fans love him, and that his presence makes people uncomfortable because he is the truth and the truth make people uncomfortable. He tells the fans to call him what they want, love him, hate him, cheer him and boo him and that people hate him because they know he is right, and that he is a genuine article in "a world of counterfeit bucks." Punk then says that the king is back and that he has a lot of things to get off his chest, then asks why he would change when he will always speak truth to power, be himself and never compromise. He says that he has become older and wiser in his years, and sorry that the only people softer than the fans are the wrestlers they like, and states that he is holding what is inside his red bag only because he won his dog collar match and that it is his until someone pins or submits him for it. Punk also says that until there is someone who can fill his boots, his boots will be staying on his feet.

"Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn says tonight is such a special occasion that he got a new scissoring outfit, then says that The Acclaimed are about to get back on track in the Trios title picture. Bowens says there will be more time to do that because AEW stands for "Acclaimed Every Wednesday" and "Acclaimed Every Weekend," then says that they will stick around for Dynamite this week. He then proposes making history with the first "Collision Scissor" in Chicago. Schiavone and The Acclaimed then scissor in the middle of the ring.

He also says that D'Amore cannot put his feelings and emotions for other people aside. He says that since he barely knows the talent and sees them as numbers on a spreadsheet, it is easier for him to deliver the bad news. As for the representative that is showing up, he is not worried. Callis says that whoever is being sent to the arena is more than likely going to thank him for taking care of a problem that should have been taken care of a long time ago in Sami Callihan, calling Callihan "a liability to the company."

Rampage tells Coffey that he knows what he is up against, and Dragunov says he is in the mix because it is neither man's playground. The three of them agree that they have had similar upbringings and have become the three most dominant competitors in NXT UK because of it. Coffey asks Dragunov is he left a piece of himself in the ring against Walter, then says their match will become even more violent and that he will leave them both laying.

Noam Dar then says that Devlin was robbed of the NXT Cruiserweight Championship, and Devlin says that just because somebody can climb up a ladder faster does not make them the better man. Devlin says that when he comes back to America, he will be coming after both Santos Escobar and the NXT Cruiserweight Championship. Noam Dar says that he is there if Devlin needs his help, then decides to pay it forward and allows Devlin to make his own SPRNVA Sessions exclusive. Devlin tells the fans that he is back and that he is not hard to find if anyone wants to take a crack at him. Noam Dar then plugs his shirt again to end the show.

Next week: Teoman vs. Oliver Carter!

We see Timothy Thatcher teaching a few students the Fujiwara Arm Bar and the double wrist lock.

In footage from earlier today, Adam Cole and Bobby Fish do some "in-house therapy" with Roderick Strong. Kyle O'Reilly plays the doctor, and Strong talks about what Dexter Lumis did to him and Fish. After some ink blot tests that remind Strong of Lumis and the trunk of the car Lumis stuffed him in, Doctor O'Reilly says that Strong must face "the trunk." Strong ends up running away.

Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Adam Cole. As Cole says that he will always be NXT Champion, Keith Lee shows up and tells him that his time as champion is limited and that he will take the title from him, not Karrion Kross. Cole walks away after Lee takes the hourglass nearby and throws it to the ground, smashing it to pieces.

Adam Cole shows up. Cole says he has been NXT Champion for 381 days, and that he has not taken one of those days for granted because he is one of the best in the business. He says many have tried to take him down and failed, and says that one must earn a title shot against him. He says that Karrion Kross has a long way to go before he steps into the ring with him following what happened last week, then tells Keith Lee that he has his eye on the North American title much like Lee has his eye on the NXT title. Cole entertains the idea of holding the North American title for just as long and being a double champion, then Keith Lee shows up. All of a sudden, Johnny Gargano shows up shortly after Keith Lee does. Gargano says he doesn't care about moments anymore; he only cares about results, and he pinned Keith Lee last week. He says he is coming after the North American Championship, then asks why he should stop there and says it is time for the title reign he deserves. Gargano wants to make history by winning the NXT title while Candice LeRae wins the Women's title, making them the first married champions. Keith Lee then makes light of what happened last week with LeRae, then Finn Balor shows up. As Finn Balor says he has never held the North American title, Gargano makes light of his accomplishments before Finn Balor says he cuts to the front of lines before telling Keith Lee he will take his title before doing the same to Adam Cole. As Balor calls Cole a "transitional champion," Cole says Balor shows up, becomes king for a little while, then he passes him by. As Balor shows Cole where he will punch him, General Manager William Regal shows up on the TitanTron. Regal says that next week, Keith Lee will defend the North American title against Gargano and Balor in a Triple Threat Match, while Cole will defend the NXT Championship against the winner on July 8th.

Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Keith Lee, but Lee is soon confronted by Candice LeRae. Lee points ahead as if to warn LeRae that someone is behind here, and it is revealed that Mia Yim is behind LeRae. Mia Yim and Candice LeRae brawl, and referees have to break it up.

In footage from moments ago, Damien Priest finds the tires on his black sports car slashed, then Cameron Grimes drives up, makes fun of Priest and speeds away.

Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza show up. Escobar says he is known as the best lucha libre artist ever, but when you wear a mask, that is all the world sees. He says that was him for 20 years, but when he made it to NXT, he knew the book of El Hijo del Fantasma would come to an end. Escobar says his father knew he would be a leader, not a luchador, and says he will make Wilde and Mendoza leaders as well. After saying he is a leader of leaders and that he will leave a legacy, Drake Maverick shows up and confronts the three of them, saying he has more guts than brains. It is not long before he is overpowered, however, and while Maverick fights back behind the barricade, Escobar smacks him in the back with a monitor before driving him through a table with the Phantom Driver.

In footage from during the break, Drake Maverick is placed into an ambulance by medical personnel.

After the match, Io Shirai shows up and attacks Bayley and Sasha before declaring she is the real champion in NXT.

Everyone behind the barricade has to hold everyone back.

Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara. Jericho says he "juiced" Orange Cassidy due to his popularity and how he does not care about anything, and says that he has the gall to interrupt them twice. Guevara and Jericho says there is nothing about that and that they beat him to a pulp just like they will to Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent) because they are more than "best friends" and that blood is thicker than orange juice.

Tony Schiavone announces that Hikaru Shida will defend the AEW World Championship against Penelope Ford at Fyter Fest. Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. tells Schiavone that she is a conspiracy victim with a broken leg, and that this announcement has gotten him in "deep shit" with TNT and cost him an interview with "the face of the women's division." She then tells Schiavone that they are on a "friendship time-out." When Britt Baker tells Reba to get her out of here, Big Swole is behind the wheel instead, and she drives off in the Role's Royce with Britt Baker after asking "Where to, Doctor?", much to the shock of Britt Baker.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson show up. Rhodes says that the air is a little thin and that it has been lonely as of late, what with The Elite and The Nightmare Family seemingly feeling fractured, then hands the microphone to Arn. Arn says that with age comes maturity, and maturity comes wisdom, and that one must listen to the voice of reason inside one's head. Arn says he knows Cody knows he can beat Jake Hager, but timing is everything and the timing is just not right. He then says that Cody has an opponent that is more than qualified and very talented, but at the same time is one that Cody can hone his skills on. That opponent is Ricky Starks, who is the hottest free agent on the market and has heard of Cody's open challenging, seeing it as a way to get his foot in the door and ascend his career. He talks about how he has had three dollars to his name at one point and that all he had was work ethic and grit, and says he is ready to go the distance.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes retains the AEW TNT Championship against Ricky Starks. Cody shakes Starks' hand after the match.

The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) beat Superbad Squad ("Superbad" Kip Sabian and Jimmy Havoc).

Later, FTR (Dax Hardwood and Cash Wheeler) show up, forcing The Butcher and The Blade to keep their distance. Later still, Havoc brings in a mallet, allowing Penelope Ford to use a wet floor sign as a weapon. Near the end of the match, The Butcher and The Blade and FTR have a confrontation, but the match still keeps going until The Bucks get the win. After the match, The Butcher and The Blade attack The Bucks, then FTR attacks The Butcher and The Blade, with The Butcher receiving a double superkick followed by the Goodnight Express before The Bucks and FTR hit stereo spike piledrivers on The Blade and Jimmy Havoc.

We hear from Tazz, who says that he and Brian Cage were watching the show last week when they see Jon Moxley saying he will shut him up and pop Cage's head like a pimple. He says that he took the "miserable son-of-a-bitch" gimmick decades ago, and Cage tells Moxley that he brought it all on himself and that he wishes Fyter Fest was right now, as he does not know what to do most to Moxley.

We hear from Jon Moxley, who tells Brian Cage that he is the judge, jury and executioner in AEW who makes heads roll and that hurting people in the ring is the only thing that keeps his demons at bay. He tells Cage to beat him if he can, and to survive if he is the "miserable son-of-a-bitch" who can survive the deep waters he will drag him into.

Next week: Sammy Guevara vs. Matt Hardy! Mr. Brodie Lee and Colt Cabana vs. Sonny Kiss and "The Bad Boy" Joey Janela! Wardlow vs. Luchasaurus in a Lumberjack Match!

Raw Deal - Raw recap for June 17, 2019

Elias is in the middle of the ring to start tonight's show. He says that Anthony Davis told him he is a piece of garbage and wanted to be with other pieces of garbage, and to do that, he had to go to a place where people are more toxic than the air. Elias then takes his jacket off to reveal a black-and-white striped tanktop, stating that Baron Corbin picked him to be the special guest referee for his match against Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship at Stomping Grounds. Right after this, Seth Rollins shows up from behind and smashes a steel chair into his back multiple times. Rollins then takes the microphone and says that after all he has been through with Brock Lesnar, he is done playing games, and calls his attack on Elias the first and last warning to anyone who sides with Corbin as well as what awaits them if they do. After Rollins leaves, The Miz shows up for the next match and puts Elias in the Skull Crushing Finale. When Bobby Lashley shows up, he hits Elias with a Spear. Cesaro then becomes the third man to enter for the next match and puts Elias in the giant swing while The Miz counts in the corner. Ricochet arrives next and hits Elias with a Codebreaker, then Braun Strowman shows up and plants Elias with a running powerslam.

Samoa Joe watches the next match from ringside.

Strowman responds by Biel Tossing Ricochet into Lashley before shoving Cesaro into the Mini-Tron on his way out. After the match, Samoa Joe gets in the ring and assaults Ricochet from behind, but Ricochet gets the last word.

Becky Lynch shows up. She wastes no time calling out Lacey Evans, saying she has to listen to her every week about what she deserves and stating that she will give her exactly what she deserves when she comes into striking distance. She also says that since Lacey Evans likes to curry favor, she will do the fans a favor by kicking her ass all over Los Angeles, California. Lacey Evans shows up and says nobody cares and that Becky Lynch has it all wrong again. Becky gives Lacey a choice between talking as slow as humanly possible or getting her ass kicked again. Lacey tells Becky she may have a flawless image, but she has been through things Becky cannot comprehend. Becky says that since they are in Hollywood, Lacey can give a performance where she tugs on the fans' heartstrings. Lacey reminds Becky - and the fans - that she is a real United States Marine and can do a lot with dignity and grace that she brings to the ring, as it is what the women's division deserves. Becky tells Lacey she knows her story, and says it makes it harder to understand why Lacey does what she does and that Lacey is "a steaming pile of trash." Lacey says the women's division needs a legitimate, confident classy lady like her, not Becky. She then says that she cost Becky one of her championships before as she slowly enters the ring, and Becky immediately runs up to Lacey and hits her with a Bexploder Suplex.

"The New" Daniel Bryan and Rowan show up. Bryan says he understands why he needed to be brought in as a wild card tonight, as Los Angeles, California and Raw both suck. He states it is no secret that Los Angeles is the smog capital of the world and is filled with ignorant and impotent people, and says that he and Rowan are here to lift people above the fog while educating and exciting them. Tonight, he will excite the fans by destroying Seth Rollins and proving that one-half of the planet's tag team champions is better than all of Raw and that they are the greatest tag team in history. After Daniel Bryan tells the people of Los Angeles to prepare to be excited, The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik) suddenly show up and stare at Daniel Bryan and Rowan before heading to the ring.

At the VIP Lounge, Heath Slater show up to talk business with Shane McMahon, saying he needs more money. Shane says Slater has guts, but tells him the answer is no. However, since he walked in like a man, he will let him walk out like a man. Outside of the VIP Lounge, Slater is met by Drew McIntyre, who tells him that it kills him to see him like this. He drops some money, and when Slater picks it up for him, he attacks Slater, and Shane McMahon and The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) have to hold him back.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn show up to host The Kevin and Sami Show. They announce tonight's guest, Baron Corbin, who shows up. Sami calls his and Kevin's show "a safe working environment" compared to the rest of WWE, and therefore he is withdrawing any eligibility from being Baron Corbin's hand-picked referee. Kevin Owens does the same in solidarity with Sami. The subject of who will be Baron Corbin's hand-picked referee, Corbin says he had a lot of options and that he picked someone who was born to count to three: EC3. EC3 shows up, but he is soon nailed with a steel chair from behind by Seth Rollins. After showing frustration with Seth Rollins, Corbin says it's back to the drawing board before The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) show up. After Big E drapes his cape over EC3, Sami Zayn tells The New Day that they are not even part of tonight's show and that they should leave, but Kofi Kingston says he is the WWE Champion and he and his guys go where they want. Kevin Owens warns Kofi Kingston that he will be losing the WWE Championship to him the next chance he gets, but Kofi reminds Owens that he lost at Money In The Bank and that it will be him and Dolph Ziggler in a steel cage, where he will still retain the WWE Championship. Corbin proposes to Sami and Owens that they give The New Day a beating back to SmackDown Live. Xavier Woods considers that a challenge, and if a referee were here to sanction the match, it is on. The New Day then pick up EC3 and move him up and down to get him to sanction the match, then ask him to sanction the match. Kofi does his best ventriloquism to get EC3 to sanction the match in Weekend At Bernie's fashion, and the match is on.

In the trainer's room, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles is met by Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson). Styles talks about Gallows & Anderson's debut three years ago, but tells them that while they have made a lot of money, they have gotten comfortable.

Anderson says that if he wants serious, then he should watch when they beat The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) tonight.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) beat Baron Corbin, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in a two-out-of-three falls. The New Day get the first fall after Woods pushes Sami's shoulders to the mat as Sami pulls Xavier away from The New Day to keep him from tagging out of the match. They then score the second fall after Corbin inadvertently clotheslines Sami, causing Owens to confront - and superkick - Corbin before he and Sami walk out on him.

In the locker room, Nikki Cross is met by Alexa Bliss, who brings her a coffee mug with a note inside, which is an invitation to a tag team title match vs. The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce).

Paul Heyman shows up. He admits that he is not comfortable being out here following Seth Rollins hitting other people with steel chairs, even though he is not a physical threat to Rollins. He states he will not be the special guest referee at Stomping Ground, and that he does not want to be. He says that he would respectfully decline the position, given that everyone who has accepted the position has been beaten with a steel chair, then states that the Los Angeles Lakers and Seth Rollins both "traded away their balls." He says that the Lakers traded their balls for a "playmate for Lebron James" and that Rollins traded his balls for a steel chair, and says that Brock Lesnar knows how to swing a steel chair pretty well himself. Heyman states that if Rollins is here and has a formidable opponent tonight - which he is and does - then Lesnar may or may not be here. He then states that nobody knows when Lesnar will cash in and strike, not even Rollins.

Backstage, Baron Corbin speaks with Eric Young, who says he will think about being special guest referee for Corbin. He is then met by Seth Rollins, and tells him that he has turned down the offer.

Roman Reigns shows up. He admits that Super ShowDown was not a good night, and while excuses are not entertaining, him whipping somebody's ass tonight is. Roman then gives Shane McMahon the opportunity to face him on his own one-on-one tonight. Shane appears on the Titantron, and after Greg Hamilton gives him "the proper introduction," he tells Roman he should not be ashamed of losing to the best in the world. As for Roman's offer, the answer is no, and Shane says he should be more concerned with Drew McIntyre, who tells Roman he is not out there beating him up because of Shane McMahon, and at Stomping Ground, he will not stop him from destroying him. He then tells Roman that he wants Roman to come home to his family disfigured, and Roman leaves through the crowd and heads to the VIP lounge as Drew continues to speak. Roman then fights off The Revival in the back, then makes his way to the VIP lounge and confronts Shane and McIntyre before punching McIntyre and cornering Shane. Roman and McIntyre brawl, and Roman puts McIntyre through a table before chasing Shane through the crowd. When Shane looks for Roman, Roman finds him and pummels him.
