6-Year Anniversary - Dynamite recap for October 1, 2025

In footage from earlier today, The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) celebrate AEW Dynamite's six-year annivesary at a Hard Rock Café and Casino. Matthew says he has an idea for tonight's ring introduction, while Nicholas is ready to gamble and double his money. After Nicholas finds the high limit slots, we then see him outside of the building near a dumpster, having gambled away all the money in his bag. Matthew mentions his idea for the entrance, then finds out that Nicholas gambled all the money. The screen then transitions to The Young Bucks in the ring, with their chyron calling them "The Broke Bucks" with a message above saying "Account balance: $0.00."



Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

Kenny Omega and Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) beat "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) in a trios match. After the match, Kenny Omega tries to bury the hatchet with The Young Bucks, but he is superkicked in the head by Josh Alexander. All of a sudden, Jurassic Express (Jack Perry and Luchasaurus) shows up, and The Young Bucks are easily overpowered. Alexander tries to fight them, but he gets double-teamed by Jack Perry and Kenny Omega, who then gets upset with Jack Perry. Jack Perry and Kenny Omega get in a physical argument, but Jack Perry goes after The Young Bucks again with a tope suicida, and Luchasaurus joins him as they take the brawl to the back. Omega then says it has been six years and that he has been here since day one, and while he has seen the highest of highs and lowest of lows, he takes pride in the journey itself. He says that friends have been gained and lost along the way, but everyone has shared the experience and he is a better man because of it before looking forward to what happens next. The lights go out, and when they come back on, Omega is suddenly attacked from behind by Andrade el Idolo, who has just returned from WWE. Don Callis gets in the ring and shakes hands with Andrade before raising his hand.





We see a video package showing some of the best moments of Dynamite's six-year history.



Backstage, we hear from Mark Briscoe, who says that tonight is a time of celebration as well as reflection not only for AEW but for himself, as his life has been consumed by MJF for the last six months. He now knows that MJF is all talk and that he told him specifically not to mention Jay Briscoe's name, but he did it more than once, and he showed him that his words have consequences. As for winning the big one, he won big enough to send MJF on a sabbatical, but when it comes to winning championship gold, it is only because of MJF costing him a TNT title shot that he cannot do that. With Hologram injured, it is now up to Orange Cassidy to be champion. Briscoe says that unlike MJF, he can be unselfish and celebrate with his friends, and when Orange Cassidy wins the TNT Championship, he will celebrate with Orange while MJF sits on the couch picking tacks out of his body.

"The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher retains the TNT Championship against Orange Cassidy after Don Callis distracts Orange Cassidy only for Hologram to scare Don Callis off just so he can trip Orange off the top turnbuckle, allowing Fletcher to hit Orange with a brainbuster into the top turnbuckler to retain the title. After the match, Fletcher and Hologram beat up on Orange, but Mark Briscoe and Paragon chase them off. The rest of The Don Callis Family then shows up, and Hologram unmasks to reveal that he looks like Hologram, but is clad in all black and has tattoos, revealing himself to be the evil Hologram clone. The lights then go haywire, even turning red at times.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Mercedes Moné. Mercedes states that next week on Title Tuesday, she will put the TBS Championship on the line against someone local from the state of Florida and make history yet again while approaching the longest TBS title reign in history. She also knows what it takes to be a tag team partner, and is soon approached by Harley Cameron and Mini Moné. Harley thinks they have excellent chemistry, and while Mini Moné agrees, Mercedes says that every time they team up, she loses. Mercedes leaves, and Mini Moné thinks Mercedes is playing hard to get.



"Hangman" Adam Page and The Opps (Samoa Joe and Powerhouse Hobbs) beat The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Daniel Garcia) in a trios match. After the match, Samoa Joe suddenly argues with "Hangman" Adam Page, saying that Hangman has never beaten him, and security has to step in before things get worse. That does not stop Joe from hitting Hangman with a cheap shot, and security has to get into place before Joe leaves with Hobbs.



We hear from Willow Nightingale and JetSpeed ("Speedball" Mike Bailey and "The Jet" Kevin Knight). Kevin Knight wants to challenge one of the members of FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) one-on-one, and Willow says she will be in Knight's corner. Meanwhile, Big Stoke accepts the challenge, but Knight will not know who he will face until the match happens.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Hangman" Adam Page. Hangman admits that he thought that Samoa Joe was angry at him when he dropped his title when he handed it to him, then mentions Joe saying he never beat him. Hangman says he is champion thanks to Joe's help, and if Joe wants a title match, he will get one at WrestleDream. He says that he respects Joe, but if Joe throws another fit towards him again, he will ruin his life.

"Timeless" Toni Storm beats Tay Melo. During the match, it is announced that next week's episode will be Title Tuesday and will air on Tuesday at 8 PM Eastern/7 PM Central. After the match, Toni talks about she stared in awe at Kris Statlander at All Out when she became a glorious champion, and when she went to the back, she wondered who she was without the Women's World Championship. Toni tells Statlander that she is not finished with her and wants a one-on-one match with her, then tells Statlander to name the time and place. Before she says that she is timeless, however, Toni stops short of doing just that.



We see a video package for Eddie Kingston vs. Dralistico on Collision, which has an early start time this week of 7 PM Eastern/4 PM Pacific.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Samoa Joe and Powerhouse Hobbs. Joe questions if he and "Hangman" Adam Page and that he has been so focused on The Death Riders that he has forgotten who he is. He says that Hangman has never been greater than him, and says that while Hangman is "cowboy shit," he is about to introduce him to "a world of deep shit."



Ricochet guests on commentary for the next match.

Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) beat The Swirl ("Vanilla Baby" Blake Christian and Lee Johnson). After the match, Ricochet hits the Spirit Gun on Blake Christian with help from Gates of Agony, then The Hurt Syndicate show up. MVP asks if anyone from Florida is in the crowd, and that leads to an "MVP" chant before admitting he embarrassed himself at All Out and states that he owes an apology to the fans as well as Shelton and Lashley for allowing The Demand (Ricochet, Kaun, Toa Liona) to beat him. MVP feels that he may have lost a step and may not be the wrestler that he used to be, but he can still fight better than The Demand can. He says he does not want to wrestle; instead, he wants a no-disqualification street fight. MVP wants to know if The Demand will meet them in a street fight, and after the fans want it, Ricochet accepts the challenge.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Kris Statlander, who says that after six years, she and "Timeless" Toni Storm have never went one-on-one. Statlander accepts Toni's challenge for WrestleDream, then Harley Cameron shows up and approves of the match.

Backstage, Alicia Atout interviews Don Callis, "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada. Callis says The Don Callis Family goes to the next level when it seems they are down and out, and while he took out Kenny Omega, Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) escaped him. He wants Brodido to face Okada and Takeshita in a tag team match next week. Takeshita is reluctant, but Okada wants the match.

Darby Allin and Kris Statlander beat The Death Riders (Wheeler Yuta and Marina Shafir) in a Tornado Tag Match after Yuta inadvertently blinds Shafir with powder following Shafir going feet-first into thumbtacks, causing Shafir to put Yuta in a sleeper hold before Statlander and Darby get the win. After the match, "Timeless" Toni Storm shows up, and she and Statlander have a staredown followed by a slugfest that security has to stop. As this goes on, Darby whips Wheeler Yuta with a studded leather belt until PAC shows up and attacks Darby. Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli and Daniel Garcia show up as PAC chokes Darby with the belt, and Moxley tells Darby that at WrestleDream, he will have zero chance of doing what it will take to win. He says that at WrestleDream, Darby will say "I quit." PAC then hits Darby with a running clothesline to end the show.

5 Year Anniversary - Dynamite recap for October 2, 2024

We hear from The Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Marina Shafir, PAC, Claudio Castagnoli). PAC says that war is upon them and that "The American Dragon) Bryan Danielson is more than he thinks he is. Claudio says he is still the same guy and says Bryan knows where to find him if he wants to talk. Marina Shafir speaks in Romanian, then Jon Moxley says they will have Bryan's world title belt or else there will be consequences as he also tells Bryan that he has a chance to go out on his shield and be buried in his backyard. He then says that on October 12th, he officially relieves him of duty, and that he is sending Daddy home for good.



Before the next match, Don Callis, wanting to talk with Will Ospreay concerning last week, wishes Will Ospreay the best of luck in the ring before he, Kyle Fletcher and "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita leave to catch a flight.

Ricochet vs. Will Ospreay ends in a double pinfall and a draw with both men's shoulders on the mat as Ricochet is on top of Ospreay...almost. The match is restarted by Tony Khan, but both men are soon attacked by "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita, who hits Ospreay with a knee and Ricochet with Raging Fire. Takeshita then brings the International Championship to the ring and raises it up in the middle of the ring. Will Ospreay retains the AEW International Championship.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Mercedes Moné and Kamille. Mercedes says that while she has been but a small part of AEW's history, she has nevertheless put together a video package of her time in the company, which we then see. Mercedes then says that the best moments in AEW are all about her, then MVP soon shows up agreeing with her and hands her his business card.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Gunns (Austin and Colten Gunn), but Austin is attacked from behind with a metal folding chair by "Hangman" Adam Page. Colten Gunn fights Hangman, but fares no better.

"The Redwood" Big Bill is in the ring. He says that is is not about the destination, but who we become as people along the way in celebration of five years of AEW and that everyone has become better thanks to "The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho. It's time for "TV Time with 'The Learning Tree' Chris Jericho." Jericho heads to the ring with "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith, then takes the microphone. Jericho congratulates AEW on five years and their brand-new TV deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, saying they made a bunch of "experts" look like idiots before saying there would be no TV deal if it were not for him. Bryan Keith starts a "Thank You, Chris" chant. Jericho also states that today is the 34th anniversary of his professional wrestling debut and says that it is such an unbelievable feeling not just being an eight-time world champion, but also mentoring future superstars and getting as much TV time as he can. He then talks about selling out Arena Mexico and beating Mark Briscoe as of late and that it is time to introduce a new era of Jericho, saying "The Ocho" is out and "El Nueve" is in before challenging Mark Briscoe for the ROH World title at WrestleDream. The Conglomeration shows up, and Mark Briscoe heads to the ring. Briscoe says this is between him and Jericho, and Jericho calls Big Bill and Bryan Keith off so that Mark and Jericho are the only two men in the ring. Briscoe says that being a man means not making excuses, and while he could make excuses and state that he had Jericho beaten in New York City, they were in a tornado tag team match where anything was legal, and he is calling it like it is. Mark Briscoe then calls Jericho one of the most influential and finest pro wrestlers in the last four decades, as it works out well for him that Jericho pinned him, as Jericho is in line for a title shot that he personally looks forward to. He says that the word of the day is "consequential," as he will consequentially beat Chris Jericho to retain his championship, but Jericho says Mark Briscoe cannot beat him before stating that maybe his brother Jay Briscoe could have. Jericho then says that Mark will never be as good as Jay was, and Mark Briscoe chops him in the jaw, demands that Jericho keep his brother's name out of his mouth, and tells him that if he wants to go that far, then he will get a Briscoe Brothers-style ass whupping. He then calls the knock down "consequential."



We hear from Darby Allin, who talks about how he was on a bus when he turned around and saw three men taking turns spitting on the back of his head and actually did something about it, and how he was reminded of those three guys when Jon Moxley told him he was not ready to be World Champion. He says he put everything on the line against Moxley and that it should have been him going on to WrestleDream, and while he says he is ready to be the face of AEW, he and the fans are both losing faith in himself and all he can do is face. Darby says he will be at WrestleDream, and puts out an open challenge to anyone in the locker room who wants to make a name for himself, as he has nothing left to lose.



"Hangman" Adam Page beats Juice Robinson after grabbing the referee while Juice has a hold of Hangman from behind, leaving him free to hit a low blow followed by a Buckshot Lariat for the win. During the match, it is announced that Title Tuesday is next Tuesday at 9 PM Eastern/8 PM Central. After the match, Hangman pulls his leather belt off of his tights and chokes and hangs Juice off the side of the ring again. Suddenly, "Switchblade" Jay White shows up for the first time in months and attacks Hangman from behind. Hangman escapes the ring and tries to flee through the crowd, but Jay White catches up to him, chops him multiple times, thumbs Hangman in both eyes, and Spears Hangman through the table that Hangman set up near the crowd.



Backstage, Renee Paquette waits for and gets an interviw with "Scapegoat" Jack Perry as soon as Perry gets out of his van, but "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata shows up and challenges Perry for the TNT title at WrestleDream. Perry says he will think about it and walks away, then suddenly blindsides Shibata and tells him that he accepts.

We hear from "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, who tells Jon Moxley that their match for the AEW World Championship is bigger than the both of them and that they have broken the system that professional wrestling was built on, which is why he challenged "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada. He says that he and Okada both have a win apiece, and while Okada has broken his orbital bone, he has not broken his spirit. He says that his title is on the line for the whole match while Okada's is contested for only twenty minutes, but he would not want it any other way.

Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. beats "The Professor" Serena Deeb with the Lockjaw. During the match, "The Glamour" Mariah May is seen watching from the crowd. After the match, Serena attacks Britt and puts her in the Serenity Lock, but Queen Aminata runs into the ring and fights Serena, who soon flees the ring.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Hook and mentions the attack on his father Taz from earlier today. An angry Hook says he will find who did this and come after them.

We hear from Christian Cage, who says that the fans have not seen anything from him yet after five years, for he is the face of AEW now and forever, the fans' father figure and the next World Champion, and soon enough, he will have it all, hook, line and sinker.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "The Glamour" Mariah May. Mariah May says Willow Nightingale has been "failing up" her way to the AEW Women's World Championship, then Willow confronts her, telling her to say what she has to say to her face. Mariah slaps Willow, Willow slaps Mariah back, and both women have to be kept apart.

Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) beat The Iron Savages (Boulder and Bronson). During the match, Stokely Hathaway is seen watching the match from backstage. After the match, Kassidy says he and Marq Quen promised they would be tag team champs in 2024 and that they meant every word, and that despite the injuries that they have suffered through the year, they will become tag team champions. He says that they beat The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) once and that they can beat them again, then says that they are feeling froggy and they can do it right now. The Young Bucks appear from behind the video screen, and Nicholas says AEW cannot have an anniversary show without the people who built the company. Matthew mentions that they have an overrun tonight and that he has an idea, then says they can put the tag team titles on the line right now before mentioning that they have limited dates and will not waste one of them on Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As The Young Bucks leave, "Scapegoat" Jack Perry shows up and attacks Marq Quen, then The Young Bucks run into the ring and join Perry. Suddenly, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata runs into the ring to even the numbers, and The Young Bucks and Jack Perry flee. Interim Executive Vice President Christopher Danielson shows up and says Private Party has been a thorn in The Young Bucks' side since the beginning of AEW and that he would love to see them piss The Young Bucks off. He then proposes a six-man match between the team of Private Party and Shibata and The Elite (Matthew Jackson, Nicholas Jackson, Jack Perry) on Rampage.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews MVP, who is about to make an announcement when Prince Nana shows up and says MVP talked spicy about him and Swerve, and says MVP forgot he used to be a wrestler and that he will lace his boots up for him. MVP says that sounds like a complaint and that he does not do complaints, then introduces Shelton Benjamin, whom he calls the head of the complaint department. Shelton drinks from Prince Nana's coffee cup, then walks off with it alongside MVP.



"The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson retains the AEW World Championship against "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada with a backslide pin after Claudio Castagnoli and PAC show up to watch from the front row. During the match, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada's AEW Continental Championship was also being defended, but Danielson failed to win the match within the first twenty minutes; therefore, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada retains the AEW Continental Championship. After the match, Okada hits Danielson with another Rainmaker, then blames Claudio and PAC for his loss before storming to the back. Claudio and PAC get in the ring and hold Danielson up for Jon Moxley, who soon shows up and tells Danielson that he is playing for something much bigger for himself and that he is doing what he is doing because he has to. He says that if it were up to him, he would have put Danielson out of his misery a long time ago. All of a sudden, Wheeler Yuta runs into the ring with a hammer and scares The Blackpool Combat Club (Moxley, Claudio, PAC) out of the ring, then Jon Moxley gets back in the ring and looks at Wheeler. Wheeler dares Moxley to give him a reason to hit him, and Danielson attacks Moxley. Danielson and Wheeler fight off The Blackpool Combat Club, who are sent into a retreat, and Wheeler says he is sick of Claudio and PAC treating him like a child, for he is his own man who can make his own decision and fight his own fights. He then says that if they want to go through Danielson next week, they will have to go through him. Danielson then joins in, making the challenge a tag team match.



Here are the highlights from tonight's show!

D'Angelo is accompanied by The D'Angelo Family (Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Adrianne Rizzo, Luca Crusifino) until he walks down the ramp. D'Angelo says that all of his life, he has been the man to spark fear in the hearts of others and solve a few problems doing it, but Oba has been able to do it as of late as he has felt his power, aggressiveness and explosiveness, but he has used this fear as motivation to do the unthinkable. He says that next week, he will face and beat Oba Femi and become the new NXT North American Champion. Oba Femi says The Miz has been in the game long enough to know when somebody believes what they are saying, and that D'Angelo does not believe a word of what he says. He says that D'Angelo has been successful in NXT, but his success has a ceiling, and no matter what he does, he will never be North American Champion, as the title is his. D'Angelo says Oba Femi talks about him like he knows him when he has grown up twenty minutes from tonight's venue in Chicago, Illinois. He says he has family in the back and the crowd, both extended and immediate, who motivate him to be who he is. Oba tells D'Angelo that nobody, let alone his family, cannot fight for him, and it will be just the two of them in the ring. He says that he broke and beat D'Angelo and put doubt in his mind before, and he still cannot beat him. D'Angelo says Oba Femi is just a man, but Oba says he is inevitable while D'Angelo is still broken.



Backstage, Cora Jade says that everyone forgot about her in the hype over Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer. Roxanne Perez shows up, and Cora Jade says that she likes the woman she has become. Roxanne says a common enemy may bring them back together.

After the match, Jacy Jayne says that The Fatal Influence has made a statement, and Fallon Henley calls the Women's North American Championship their next target. Kelani Jordan says she knew she would be called out and that they can go right now, but she did not show up alone. Suddenly, Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair show up, and the three of them clean house.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for October 1, 2021

WWE Officials Sonya Deville and Adam Pearce show up to start tonight's show to announce the picks for the WWE Draft. Half of the roster will be picked tonight, while the other half of the roster will be picked next week on Raw. The first pick for SmackDown is Roman Reigns. The second pick is Big E for Raw. The third pick is Charlotte Flair for SmackDown. The fourth pick is Bianca Belair for Raw.



Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman head to the ring. Roman says that as the back of his shirt says, "We the ones," then tells the crowd to acknowledge him. Heyman tells the crowd they are not loud enough, and they get louder before Heyman calls the fans "Baltimorons" before saying The Demon was exorcised by Roman. He says that like a shark that circles around the island of relevancy, Roman only swims forward, and Roman looks forward to Crown Jewel, which will not be held in Suplex City when Brock Lesnar meets "The Suplexorcist" Roman Reigns. Heyman proclaims that Roman Reigns will smash Brock Lesnar and retain the WWE Universal Championship at Crown Jewel, then Brock Lesnar shows up. Brock and Roman have a staredown, then Roman attacks Lesnar only to get suplexed. The Usos run into the line only to get clotheslined as Roman rolls out of the ring, and Lesnar dares Roman to get back in the ring. Roman teases getting back in the ring, but ultimately decides against it, and that leads to Brock Lesnar grabbing Jimmy Uso and putting him in the F5 before doing the same to Jey Uso.



Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Charlotte Flair. Charlotte demands thanks for being the first overall pick in the women's division before making it clear she is here to dominate SmackDown.

Before the next match, we find out that Riddick Moss is now known as "Madcap Moss" and that he is tasked with making Happy Corbin laugh with jokes.

Happy Corbin beats Kevin Owens following the distraction from Madcap Moss.



The King of the Ring and Queen's Crown Tournaments starts next week on SmackDown and continues on Raw on October 11th!



The second round of WWE Draft picks are decided. #5 is Drew McIntyre for SmackDown. #6 is RKO (Matt Riddle and Randy Orton) for Raw. #7 is The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) for SmackDown. #8 is Edge for Raw.



Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Drew McIntyre. McIntyre says he is proud of what he achieved on Raw and that he is thinking about his past, his present and his future, as he began on SmackDown all those years ago. While he feels like there is unfinished business for him on the blue brand, he says that the blue brand is waiting for someone to flip the table on them. He then says that his future is the Universal Championship.

Edge heads to the ring. Edge comes to the realization that he is the only wrestler here who was on the first episode of SmackDown, and while SmackDown has always been his home, he has been drafted to Raw, which gives him a whole new set of opponents and challenges. This brings him to Seth Rollins, who put him in an ambulance in Madison Square Garden and has since challenged him to another match. He knows Seth knows that he is not 100% and that he has the advantage, but he has to answer the challenge. Edge says he is on the road to 100%, and tells Seth Rollins that he will have to beat him to get him to admit he is better. Seth then appears on the TitanTron and says that Edge is disappointing him with what he is not saying right now. He also says that he tends not to believe a word that comes out of Edge's mouth, then says he is an honest man and reveals that he is at Edge's home. Edge runs to the back and Seth Rollins find out the door is unlocked. Seth then begins to explore the house and starts looking for food in the refrigerator, and decides to have an apple and some orange juice. He then notices the art that Edge's daughters have made. Rollins calls the art "rotten" and says Edge's daughters do not have a future as artists as he closes the refrigerator door, then finds Edge's daughters' backpacks before coming across the study, where a family portrait is on the fireplace mantle. He sits on the couch, then turns on the electronic fireplace before proclaiming the house is so cozy that he could stay all night. Backstage, Edge calls Beth Phoenix, telling him to stay at his brother's house and that he will call Daniel and David and get things settled. (Daniel and David are Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood of FTR from All Elite Wrestling, respectively.)



Before the next match, Carmella calls Liv Morgan a bitch for attacking her before the bell rings and says that this is the last chance Liv will have at destroying her face before having two stage hands put a mask on her. Carmella then gets back in the ring and hits Liv Morgan with a facebuster.



The third round of draft picks are made. #9 is Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss for SmackDown. #10 is Rhea Ripley and Nikki A.S.H. for Raw. #11 is Hit Row (Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, Ashante "Thee" Adonis, Top Dolla, B-Fab) for SmackDown. #12 is Keith "Bearcat" Lee for Raw.



The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) and The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) beat Dolph Ziggler, Robert Roode and Alpha Academy (Chad Gable and Otis) in an eight-man tag team match.



We see a video package of Xavier Woods and Boys and Girls Club as part of WWE's partnership with the group as part of Bullying Prevention Month.

The fourth round begins. #13 is Naomi for SmackDown. #14 is Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio for Raw. #15 is Jeff Hardy for SmackDown. #16 is Austin Theory for Raw.



Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Jeff Hardy. Suddenly, Brock Lesnar shows up and Jeff Hardy walks away. Lesnar apologizes for interrupting, then thanks Paul Heyman for making him a free agent. He says that because of this, he gets to do whatever he wants to do.



Backstage, Roman Reigns asks Paul Heyman if he is good friends with Brock Lesnar, and also asks if they are good friends. He says that if he and Paul are good friends, then that means Paul looks out for him and his family. Roman then yells at Paul Heyman for trying to suck up to him regarding The Usos' (Jimmy and Jey Uso) WWE draft status, then tells him to stick to the plan. He tells Heyman to go to Raw and ensure The Usos are drafted to SmackDown. When Heyman leaves, Roman tells The Usos to go to Raw with Heyman and make it clear that they are to be drafted to SmackDown. He then says that if they are not, then they should "leave [Heyman] for dead" at Raw.

Becky Lynch guests on commentary for the next match.

Sasha Banks beats Bianca Belair. During the match, Bianca inadvertently backflips into Becky Lynch, and after a confrontation with Becky, Becky traps Bianca by the ponytail as she tries to get back into the ring, allowing Sasha to win with a stack-up pin. After the match, Charlotte runs into the ring and lays out both Sasha and Bianca. The show ends with Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch starting at each other while holding their respective championships.

Total Divas Island - Total Divas recap for October 1, 2019

The ninth season - and the show - starts with Ronda Rousey introducing herself.

At Ronda Rousey's house in Browsey Acres, Ronda and her husband Travis Browne take care of animals in a setting opposite of the overstimulating environment of her usual training.



Backstage at Royal Rumble in Phoenix, Arizona, Nattie is nervous about the women's Royal Rumble Match and is trying to take her mind off her late father Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. Nia Jax looks forward to having a match with Ronda Rousey after becoming the most hated woman for punching Becky Lynch in the face. We are also introduced to Sonya Deville and we are re-introduced to Carmella, who says that she has found herself after her relationship with Big Cass, in which she "changed herself for a man," and is now living her best life. Nia talks with Tamina, telling her that Carmella is "fake" and that she does not like her as a worker, and that she just wants to get tonight over with. Meanwhile, Carmella talks to Natalya about Nia Jax, saying that she can't understand why Nia Jax can't stand her. Nia shows up, and Carmella asks to talk with her at some point, but Nia refuses. Carmella catches up with her, and Nia tells her to her face that she comes off as "fake." Carmella's feelings are hurt as Sonya shows up and Tamina is suddenly aghast.





Jon and Trinity show up, their relationship stronger than ever since last season.

Carmella talks with Sonya and Tamina on the elevator, saying she can't understand why Nia Jax would say she is fake. She goes out and tells everyone, who is blown away about this as she is. Meanwhile, Nia Jax talks with Nattie, who tells her that she would be better off lying to Carmella rather than snapping at her and being blunt, something she did with Lana last season.

Sonya mentions her previous relationship with a woman named Ariana, which did not work out, and says she is single again and focusing on work.



Ronda Rousey has her match for the WWE Raw Women's Championship against Sasha Banks, and the women's Royal Rumble Match takes place. Carmella kicks Nia Jax in the mouth and busts her bottom lip, which Nia says she deserves.

Sonya and Mandy Rose watch Nia Jax take part in the men's Royal Rumble.

At Browsey Acres, Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir come over for breakfast, and we are also introduced to Ronda's stepchildren.

In Phoenix, Arizona, Sonya, Carmella and WWE announcer and interviewer Charly Caruso have brunch with the rest of the women. Nia Jax does not show up due to stomach issues. Carmella talks about how she felt during her relationship with Big Cass and how she no longer feels "stuck" and is living life on her own terms. Sonya gives Carmella some pointers, much to the surprise of Carmella. Meanwhile, Charly Caruso tells Trinity and Nattie about rumors that Carmella may be seeing somebody.

At Browsey Acres, Ronda Rousey reacts to pregnancy rumors, and wonders if she is being selfish as she balances work and home. In the end, she says it is her life and her body.



Carmella, Trinity and Sonya go to a restaurant. Sonya mentions that she has had relationships with men, and while she had good emotional connections with them, she found out after kissing a man that she realized she liked women. She almost considers calling her ex-girlfriend Ariana, but Carmella and Trinity tell her she deserves better. Meanwhile, Nattie and Nia Jax talk about Carmella as they meet with the rest of the women for brunch. Nattie has the feeling that the meeting between Nia and Carmella will be pretty bad as she gets to the bottom of why Nia does not like Carmella, and when they show up for brunch, Nia calls out Nattie and Carmella for leaving before the men's Royal Rumble before having an argument with Carmella, who says that she would rather be safe than having a reputation for hurting people like Nia does as Nia accuses Carmella of running away from hits. Carmella mentions that she took hits and had a black eye for a week from her match with Nikki Bella. Both of them end up agreeing to disagree.

Nia heads to the premiere of Fighting With My Family with Brie and Nikki. As they talk in the hotel room, Brie and Nikki mention that they are more focused on family and business rather than wrestling. Nia mentions what is going on between her and Carmella, and mentions that Carmella "talked shit" about her match with Nikki.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 1, 2018

Dean Ambrose shows up to start tonight's show. Charly Caruso interviews Ambrose in the ring, and Ambrose says there is a lot of truth in what Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre said last week, and also brings up Seth Rollins replacing him with Jason Jordan. He admits he has thought about leaving The Shield (Ambrose, Rollins, Roman Reigns), but he has thought about a lot of things, and says there are a lot of possibilities. As for why he has been in The Shield for so long and why he hasn't finally snapped yet, it's because he is waiting for the perfect time to slip the knife right in their back. As far as sticking with Rollins and Roman Reigns at the end of last week's show goes, he says he has done nothing but clean up his brothers' messes. Nevertheless, he still stands by them. He says The Shield is a brotherhood, not a business or a brand, and that they will always ride in to battle together. As Ambrose leaves, however, Acting General Manager Baron Corbin shows up. Corbin pretends to be moved by Ambrose's words before saying it is all a bunch of whining. Ambrose asks if Corbin is a therapist on top of being the world's largest substitute teacher before asking if he is salty about last week. Corbin says his team fell short last week, but since the cops weren't hear to stop The Shield from tearing things up, he counts it as a win. He gives Dean three options: facing Rollins for the Intercontinental Championship, facing Reigns for the Universal Championship, or going one-on-one with Braun Strowman. Ambrose thinks about it for a moment, and Corbin asks if it will be his brothers or his career. Ambrose tells Corbin none of that is happening and demands a match against him. Corbin says this isn't happening, and he goes ahead and makes the choice for Ambrose: Ambrose vs. Strowman, right now.



Braun Strowman beats Dean Ambrose by disqualification. During the match, Roman Reigns shows up and brawls with Strowman, then Seth Rollins shows up and he and Roman sends Strowman out of the ring. Strowman makes his way to the ramp, but he is joined by Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre and Acting General Manager Baron Corbin. Corbin says this is his show, not The Shield's (Ambrose, Rollins, Reigns), and puts Rollins up against McIntyre for later and Roman up against Dolph Ziggler for the next match.



In the trainer's room, Dean Ambrose is met by Seth Rollins. Dean gets angry, and Rollins reminds him it's about the war, not the battle. Ambrose says it's funny as he could be Intercontinental Champion right now.

The next match is almost for the WWE Universal Championship, but Acting General Manager Baron Corbin shows up and announces that Rollins and Reigns' matches tonight are both non-title and that Roman will not be defending the Universal title again until Crown Jewel.

Roman Reigns beats Dolph Ziggler.



"Rowdy" Ronda Rousey beats Ruby Riott with a cross arm breaker.



We see a video package chronicling the events leading up to Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship at Super Show-Down.

Konnor beats Bobby Roode after Viktor pushes Chad Gable off the steel steps, distracting Roode and allowing Konnor to get the win.



We hear from Alexa Bliss in "A Moment Of Bliss," where she talks about heroes as well as how heroes have heroes. Alexa says her hero is Trish Stratus and that she will be facing her at Evolution. She talks about how how she first met Trish Stratus when she was seven years old and asked her for her autograph only for Trish to burp in her face and charge her $50. She then says Trish then tore up her autograph book and stepped on her foot. Alexa then says she cried the entire night, and that when it comes to heroes, Stratusfaction is not guaranteed.



The B-Team (Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel) beat The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) after Bo Dallas gets the knees up to counter The Revival's rocket launcher double-team to get a surprise pin on Dash Wilder. After the match, AOP (Akam and Rezar) blindside The B-Team and hit the Super Collider in the ring.



Backstage, an aching Dean Ambrose is met by Roman Reigns, who wants to know if Dean is all right. Ambrose says he's fine, and says he had Braun Strowman beaten. Roman says he could have also gotten hurt. Ambrose says if he wasn't such a nice guy, he would be WWE Universal Champion right now.

Backstage, Acting General Manager Baron Corbin congratulate AOP (Akam and Rezar) on getting the job done tonight.

WWE takes time to announce that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and display a video package about WWE's partnership with the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Charly Caruso then introduces WWE ambassador Dana Warrior, research Dr. Candice Grzelak, fundraiser Patty Bulger and ten-year breast cancer survivor Jennifer Teeler, who are all in the front row.



Backstage, Dolph Ziggler tells Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman that this is the last night The Shield will be together and that this is their moment. Braun says Dean is "a tough bastard" and that when Dean isn't up against him, he is a winner. He says that he needs winners tonight and tells Drew to win tonight before saying they do not need any weak links and starting at Dolph.

Drew McIntyre beats Seth Rollins after Dolph Ziggler runs into the ring, distracting Rollins and allowing McIntyre to hit the Claymore. After the match, McIntyre and Ziggler take the boots to Rollins. Roman Reigns runs in to even the odds, then Braun Strowman shows up. The distraction allows McIntyre and Ziggler to blindside Reigns, then Dean Ambrose runs in with an ax handle and goes to town. This lasts until Braun Strowman gets his hands on Dean Ambrose and gets him back in the ring. After this, Ziggler, McIntyre and Strowman make easy work of The Shield (Ambrose, Rollins, Reigns).



We see a video package chronicling Samoa Joe vs. "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles in a no count-out, no disqualification match for the WWE Championship at Super Show-Down.

Backstage, Elias throws cashews at a backstage worker, saying he wants almonds. Meanwhile, Kevin Owens helps himself to Elias' spinach.

We see another commercial for WWE 2K19.

Elias and Kevin Owens are in the ring. Elias plays guitar, then Kevin Owens commends Elias on his guitar playing before Elias asks who wants to walk with him. He says there is only one man who is going to walk with him tonight, and that man is Kevin Owens. Owens talks about their match at Super Show-Down against Bobby Lashley and John Cena and says them teaming up makes sense. After saying they have so much in common, Owens says he and Elias are great guys. He then says John Cena teaming with Bobby Lashley doesn't make any sense, and Elias agrees with him, saying it's like having a basketball team in Seattle, Washington. The boos and jeers by the crowd becomes deafening. He says he can get Oklahoma City, Oklahoma having a basketball team, but Seattle makes no sense to him. Owens has to scream over the crowd, and even he has a tough time doing that. Owens says John Cena has been living up to his "you can't see me" catchphrase, and Elias says the last time he saw Cena was at WrestleMania, when he ruined his WrestleMania moment. He says that Cena will not ruin Super Show-Down for them. Elias demands that the light be toned done so that the spotlight stays solely on him. Owens says that every opportunity the people have to see Cena is special, as Cena has a big ego and only performs on a big stage. Elias says that Cena needs to wrestle men like them to stay relevant, as there is nobody in the world like him and Cena needs to be in there to feel like he is the best. Owens say to be the best, you have to beat the best, and he and Elias are the best right now. Owens says that John Cena and Bobby Lashley have no chance at Super Show-Down, then says Elias has to give encore performances all the time as his music is so popular. Owens says he will perform one in the form of a pop-up powerbomb on Cena. Suddenly, Lio Rush shows up and gives Owens and Elias props for taking their Super Show-Down match seriously, then tells Owens not to overlook tonight's match or he will look as foolish as he has made him for the past two weeks. Lio Rush then introduces Bobby Lashley for the next match.



Kevin Owens beats Bobby Lashley after Elias gets Lio Rush in a full nelson, distracting Lashley. After the match, Elias and Owens take the boots to Lashley, and when Lio Rush goes up top to make the save, Elias swats him away like a fly. Elias then helps Owens hit Lashley with a pop-up powerbomb.



Bayley beats Alicia Fox after Finn Balor brings Jinder Mahal's distraction to an end with a Sling Blade.



"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels shows up. Shawn talks about the match between The Undertaker and Triple H at Super Show-Down, saying he has felt a gambit of emotions about the match for the last few weeks and that Sunday will be the last match between them ever. He says that when it all started, he had to book himself a flight to Melbourne, Australia, as he knew this would be a historic moment and that he wanted to witness it as a fan. That was the plan until a couple of weeks ago. Then, it got personal. He says that when The Undertaker put him in a position where he had to make a choice about who he stood behind and believed he would win, everything changed, but he still stands behind Triple H. He says this upset The Undertaker, then says The Undertaker made it personal. He says that if 'Taker has Kane in his corner, then he will be in Triple H's. Shawn warns Kane or anyone else who tries to crowd the ring that he will brush them back courtesy of some Sweet Chin Music. Suddenly, Kane shows up. Instead of being on the stage, however, Kane is behind Shawn, who turned around to a big right hand. The lights then go out and a gong is heard, and when they come back on, 'Taker is standing by Kane. Shawn looks up to see 'Taker perform his throat slit taunt, and he is about to fall victim to a Tombstone Piledriver when Triple H runs to the ring. This leads to a big brawl between Triple H and The Undertaker, and Kane also gets some right hands when he gets involved.

Seth Rollins shows up, saying that Kane may have fooled human resources, but he has not fooled him. He calls out Kane, and Kane shows up on crutches. Kane says any joy he had in coming back to his job was shattered when Rollins re-injured his leg, but Rollins says Kane was the one who started it when he attacked him at Night of Champions. Rollins says he isn't stupid, and that he needs severe psychiatric help. Kane agrees on the second part, but says Rollins needs it, and it appears he has no recollection of him going demonic on Monday night. Kane thinks Rollins is making excuses to get out of his match against John Cena at Hell in a Cell, and thinks that Rollins is the one with the demon. He puts him in a match with The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) against The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von)...and Demon Kane? Rollins says he won't accept the match-up unless Corporate Kane watches from ringside. Kane accepts this caveat.

Roman shows up and climbs up to the ring apron, and Harper and Strowman advance towards him. Roman gets into the ring, and walks up to Wyatt to stare him down. Wyatt tells Harper and Strowman to back off, and he and Roman stare down some more. Roman then says to Wyatt "Hell in a Cell" before leaving.



Corporate Kane sits at ringside for the next match. Not surprisingly, Demon Kane fails to show up.
