Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 13, 2025

The Vision (Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed, Paul Heyman) head to the ring to start tonight's show. Rollins introduces The Vision as his vision, and he says that while tonight is about, he wants to admire the greatness that is standing in this ring that he has assembled in Paul Heyman, who he took in in during his hour of need, becoming the certified greatest and becoming blessed in his presence; Bron Breakker, who came to him with whispers of potential and have flourished into everything Rollins thought he could be and more to become the undisupted future of the industry; and Bronson Reed, who was on the shelf six months and received all of Rollins' knowledge about Roman Reigns to destroy and embarrass Roman and become the new tribal chief. Rollins then asks who the greatest World Heavyweight Champion is and why is it him, then quotes Heyman by stating that there are levels to this and that there is no one on his level. He states that the difference between him and the greatest of his generation is that he has not needed anyone to get his success, which leads to the crowd chanting "Bullshit!" Rollins says Roman Reigns needed The Shield and The Bloodline while "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes needed him to beat Roman while he never needed anybody, then states that he does not need The Vision and that he beat CM Punk, won the World Heavyweight Championship and trounced Cody with one good arm on his own. He concludes by states that he has chosen the men in the ring with him and that the men in the ring with him have chosen him before pyrotechnics go off at the top of the entrance ramp.



Backstage, Rusev encounters Penta. Rusev says he, not Penta, should be facing "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, then says he will allow it because General Manager Adam Pearce has told him that he will face the winner of tonight's match. He tells Penta he has not forgottten the kick from last week, and tells him to pray. Penta leaves, then "Dirty' Dominik Mysterio shows up, notices Rusev, and wisely turns around.

"Dirty" Dominik Mysterio retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Penta. During the match, Rusev shows up, but Penta hits him with a dive over the top rope. Dominik uses his championships to hide the ring bell hammer, and drops one of the championships in the middle of the ring to hit Penta with the hammer on his way back hide the hammer in his boot to use it as part of the 619, and hit a frog splash from the top rope to retain.



Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews LA Knight. Knight says CM Punk is not his partner tonight and he might get punched in the mouth and pin, and regardless of who he has to pin, tonight is about #1 contendership for the World Heavyweight Championship and going 3-0 against Punk, who suddenly shows up and tells Knight he will never pin him and become World Champion. Knight tells Punk he needs to accept the "is-ness" of him and that he will become champion, then leaves.

Backstage, Asuka chews out Kairi Sane for losing. Kairi apologizes, but says she can fix this by talking to Iyo Sky. Asuka tells Kairi to fix the dishonor she caused her by facing Rhea Ripley and reminding everyone that she is in charge. Kairi then shows the bruise on her forehead and says that it came from helping Asuka, but Asuka slaps her in the face.

UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski and UFC Welterweight Champion Jack Della Maddalena are seen in the crowd.

Rhea Ripley beats Kairi Sane. During the match, Asuka gets on the apron, but Iyo Sky takes her down. Kairi tries to take advantage with a schoolkid pin, but Rhea kicks out and hits the Riptide for the win. After the match, Asuka attacks Iyo from behind on the outside and throws her into the ring post, but Rhea boots her off the apron. Rhea clears off the commentary table to put Asuka through it, but Kairi hits Rhea from behind with a shinai, allowsing Asuka to hit Rhea with a DDT on the commentary table.



We see footage of officials and Iyo Sky helping Rhea Ripley to the back.

Backstage, Jimmy Uso tells "Main Event" Jey Uso he will take down "Big" Bronson Reed, then mentions Roman Reigns. Jey says that Roman has told them that there is only one way to go - his way - then says Roman looked out for himself and that they should do the same. Jey says he appreciates Jimmy Uso going after The Vision (Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed, Paul Heyman), but he cannot make the same mistake he made in Paris by looking out for Roman. Jimmy tells Jey to handle his business while he himself handles his own.

"Big" Bronson Reed beats Jimmy Uso. After the match, Bron Breakker shows up to celebrate with Bronson, then runs into the ring and hits Jimmy with a Spear. He soon hits another one after Bronson holds Jimmy in place, then Bronson rips the tape off Jimmy's ribs for a third Spear from Breakker. Breakker is halfway around the ring on the outside for the Spear when "Main Event" Jey Uso shows up, superkicks Bronson and fends off Breakker. Bronson hits a corner splash on Jey's shoulder, but Jey sends Bronson out of the ring with another superkick. Afterwards, Jey chastises Jimmy for needing his help.



Backstage, Lyra Valkryia talks with Bayley, wanting to know if she can trust her against The Judgment Day (Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez), because if she cannot, then this match will be "a one-time thing." Bayley says she is great, but Lyra feels like she is getting the runaround again.

Theo and Nathan Saidden from the upcoming Netflix series "Son of a Donkey" are seen in the crowd.

Bayley and Lyra Valkyria beat The Judgment Day (Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez) after Lyra slaps Bayley in the face to get her to focus.



Backstage, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins talks with Paul Heyman, saying that the last six months have been nothing but smiles but are nothing compared to the next six or twelve months will be. He then says he senses something big is on the horizon before "Big" Bronson and Bron Breakker shows up. Rollins congratulates them for dealing with The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) and for creating the greatest weekend in his professional life and for their growth in the last six months, even going so far as to eclipse both his marriage and the birth of his child, and lets them know that this is the mountaintop and the rarified air that they have worked for and that they are close to taking the next step. Rollins says that he is on cloud nine and that there is absolutely no one who can knock him off that mountaintop.

Survivor Series WarGames: San Diego is live on ESPN and Netflix on November 29th!

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce asks referee Eddie Orengo to find an update on Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky when "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles shows up and says Crown Jewel was amazing. Pearce says that Styles and John Cena created a moment in time when "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio shows up and asks where his moment is. Pearce is clearly not in the mood as Mysterio says he is the only person defending his championships around here, which gives Styles the idea to tell Pearce that Finn Balor and JD McDonagh should be defeinding the World Tag Team Championships, too. AJ Styles asks Pearce for a match with him and Dragon Lee against Finn and McDonagh for the World Tag Team titles, and Pearce makes it official for next week. All the while, Dominik does not want this match to happen, and he has to let Finn and McDonagh know after Pearce asks him who will be breaking the news to them.

Jackie Redmond interviews Stephanie Vaquer on the stage. Vaquer says she feels blessed to be the first woman to win four titles in a year in WWE, then Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez show up. Raquel tells Vaquer she is getting emotional over a title she should have never won. Vaquer says that Raquel lost tonight and that the bad night she is having is not her problem, but Roxanne says it would have been her problem if she got the match that she deserved, as she is the last woman to beat Iyo Sky and that she should be Women's World Champion and Women's Crown Jewel Champion. Vaquer tells Roxanne she does not care who she has beaten, because she will never beat her. She then tells Roxanne that if she wants to face her, then she should do something about, but Roxanne says she will do that on her time, not Vaquer's. Vaquer tells Roxanne she will be waiting.



A combined 40,503 people have attended tonight's show as well as Crown Jewel and last week's SmackDown.

CM Punk beats "Main Event" Jey Uso and LA Knight in a Triple Threat Match to become #1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. After the match, The Vision (Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed, Paul Heyman), and Breakker hits Jey Uso with a Spear before running halfway around the ring to do the same to LA Knight. The Vision soon surround the ring, and Breakker and Bronson soon gang up on CM Punk before Breakker hits Punk with a Spear. Bronson then hits Punk with a Tsunami before Rollins tells Punk that he will never be World Heavyweight Champion. The Vision celebrate in the ring after Punk is tossed out of the ring, but all of a sudden, Breakker hits Rollins with a Spear, much to the shock of both Heyman and Bronson. Breakker and Bronson then look at each other, and Breakker asks Bronson "Do you wanne be...or not? It's your call." Bronson then drags Rollins to the corner for a Tsunami. Breakker then grabs Heyman and asks him the same question, then holds up the World Heavyweight Championship as Heyman raises both Bronson and Breakker's hands. (Shortly after the show ends, it is reported outside of WWE that Seth "Freakin'" Rollins has been seen outside of the arena after the show with his left arm in a sling following a fan picture taken with Rollins makes the rounds on social media. It is soon reported after that Rollins is legitimately injured.)

Championship Gold - Championship Wrestling recap for October 13, 2024

Note: This is a replay of the 12th episode of Championship Wrestling ever, from December 3, 2010.

Before the next match, "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce shows up, saying he is here to cry "injustice" after the NWA Board of Directors has forced him to defend the NWA World Heavyweight Championship against Willie Mack, as he has already beaten Willie Mack fair and square and the fans do not deserve another main event from him. He says that the fans should get on their feet and bow before greatness, as he is "the Scrap Daddy." Suddenly, "Skullkrusher" Rasche Brown shows up, and Adam Pearce suddenly backpedals and backs out of the ring.

"Skullkrusher" Rasche Brown beats Rico Dynamite.

Backstage, Jonny Loquasto interviews Austin Aries while advertising the next TV taping at the Showcase Theatre at 615 North La Brea Avenue on December 8th. Aries says the fans should be there to get a chance to see "The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived" and has travelled the world and picked up championships everywhere he has gone. He then says it may be their only chance due to him being the hottest free agent, and says the fan should line up early. He then says he will not be at Pink's Hot Dogs due to being "the spectacular, vascular vegetarian."

We hear from Los Luchas (Zokre and Phoenix Star), who say that they want to beat the other teams in the tag team division to get tag team gold.

We hear from Willie Mack, who talks about he got started training at the age of 14 and waiting until he graduated from high school to take his career further. He talks about how he was in foster care and got emancipated before living with his father and helping him out. He says the toughest thing about his career is his living situation, due to his father's age, and he hopes that he will have other people helping him out. Willie Mack says he will be world champion because he has what it takes to win the title and make it his own. He says Adam Pearce has been a good champion, but he will do him a favor and put his ten pounds of gold in his luggage. He also says that his mother is looking down from him in Heaven and has been watching him every step of the way, and he knows that he is making her proud.

Navajo Warrior beats Nick Madrid. After the match, David Marquez interviews Navajo Warrior, who says that The Tribe (Navajo Warrior and Hawaiian Lion), and says the only time anyone pays attention to them is when they want to levy fines and threaten suspensions against them. He says that as they speak, Olivia is at NWA headquarters fighting this, then says that The Tribe has made a statement before and will make an even bigger statement now.

We hear from "Hollywood Rockstar" Joey Kaos, who talks about how he came up the hard way and had to claw and scratch his way into the business, and now that he is in NWA, he is focused on the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and showing what he can bring to the table. He talks about how he got his break in XPW after treading water for a year-and-a-half and becoming their Television Champion for eighteen months. He says he is looking for competition, which is why he is here, and that he plans to shine. As for why he attacked Joey Ryan, it is of nobody's concerned, and that only Joey Ryan should be the one thinking about why he attacked him and joined Peter Avalon. Kaos says Joey Ryan will have a lot to answer for when they meet in the ring, as he only got a small taste of what he is all about, and that he will find out why he is simply the best.

Colt Cabana is the special guest referee for the next match, saying that he will give Willie Mack the fair shot that he did not get from "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce.

Willie Mack vs. "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship with Colt Cabana as special guest referee ends in a no-contest. "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce retains the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. During the match, it is revealed that Scorpio Sky has been attacked backstage. At one point, Pearce tries to get himself counted out, but Cabana puts a stop to that by threatening to award the championship to Willie Mack if he does not get back in the ring, and Pearce is forced to comply. Shortly after this, Willie Mack inadvertently knocks Pearce into Cabana as Cabana is on the apron trying to get back in the ring. Pearce then tries to use the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, but Cabana stops him. Pearce spits in Cabana's face only for Cabana to punch him out, but Willie Mack only gets a near-fall. Pearce then shoves Willie Mack into Cabana, knocking Cabana down, then tries to use the championship as a weapon again, knocking out Cabana before doing the same to Willie Mack. Pearce then goes for the ground and pound on Cabana, and when two other referees show up, Pearce punches one and scares the other out of the ring. When Colt Cabana gets back up, Pearce hits him with the championship one more time.

We hear from Ortiz, who says that he fought so hard for Proud 'n Powerful (Mike Santana and Ortiz) to work because Mike Santana believed in him, but in the end, Santana stood next to him, not with him.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Kelly Kincaid interviews Axiom.

He talks about pushing Butch to a time-limit draw, and that he would love to have another match with him. As for his match tonight against Riley Osborne, he knows Riley has had only a few matches in NXT LVL UP and that he is talented, he will have to wait a little bit longer for another victory.

Axiom beats Riley Osborne. During the pinfall, however, Riley is able to kick out before three, but Axiom gets the win anyway.



Layin 'da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for October 13, 2023

John Cena heads to the ring to start tonight's show. John Cena heads to the ring to start tonight's show. As Cena introduces everyone to tonight's show, Roman Reigns shows up with Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman. Roman tells Cena that if he is going to open his show, he had better do it the right way, then demands that the fans acknowledge him. He then says the fans are chanting for a coward and that Cena only arrived and called himself the greatest of all time only because he took his leave, then says he is the greatest. Roman then says they have done this before and handled it, and that they will do this again. He then gives Cena a choice of leaving or being forced to leave. Cena says there is a lot of anticipation for what is about to happen, and says that WWE is unpredictable and SmackDown even less so, and with both of them in the ring, it is impossible to tell what will happen next. He then tells him that he is going to acknowledge him, not fight him, over being champion for 1,138 days. He says that respect and that accomplishment is earned, and he is not here to fight him because he has not earned it. Cena then tells Roman that he knows someone who has: LA Knight, who heads to the ring. Cena tells Knight it is his time and hands him the microphone, then Knight asks Roman "Ya pissin' your pants yet?" before stating that he is standing in his way and introducing himself to Roman, telling him things have changed since he left. Roman says he is proud of Knight getting the fans to chant his name after a few months, then wants to know what makes Knight think he can be in the same ring as him. As Knight tells him that speaking like that gets one spoken about in the past tense, Knight explains himself only to be attacked from behind by Jimmy Uso. Knight takes care of Jimmy Uso, then stands up to Roman, who leaves with the rest of The Bloodline. Roman then sics Solo on LA Knight, who then stands on the apron before leaving, saying it is him and Knight tonight. Knight dares Solo to get in the ring so he can turn him upside down and use him as a mop.



Before the next match, Elton Strong gets out of his wheelchair on the stage.

Pretty Deadly (Kit Wilson and Elton Prince) beat The Brawling Brutes (Butch and Ridge Holland) after Elton Prince fakes a knee injury, allowing Kit Wilson to get the cheap shot on Ridge Holland from the ring apron and Elton Prince to win with a schoolkid pin.



Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Carlito, who has now returned to WWE and SmackDown. Carlito says there is only word to describe him: cool. Bobby Lashley shows up and welcomes Carlito back, saying his return was nothing short of amazing, then says the last time he saw him was when he was beating him up, which was a long time ago. Carlito then proposes his first match back in WWE being against Lashley, then he is attacked from behind by The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford). Officials, including Adam Pearce, stop things before they get worse.



Backstage, The Latino World Order (Rey Mysterio, Santos Escobar, Zelina Vega) and Dragon Lee check on Carlito when Bayley shows up calling what is going on "a pity party." Zelina confronts Bayley, and this leads to an argument and WWE official Adam Pearce putting Bayley and Zelina in a match that will happen next.

Backstage, Roman Reigns talks with Jimmy Uso, who says he is playing Roman's playbook and is calling an audible if something does not look right. Roman tells Jimmy that the longer "Main Event" Jey Uso has the tag team titles with "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes is a bigger slap in the face to their legacy, and that Jimmy needs to take care of it.

Bayley beats Zelina Vega following the distraction from Iyo Sky. After the match, Iyo Sky and Bayley gang up on Zelina Vega, then Charlotte Flair runs into the ring, forcing Iyo and Bayley to retreat.



LA Knight vs. Solo Sikoa is official for later tonight.

Triple H heads to the ring. Triple H says he has Adam Pearce - who has had a successful in-ring career and has done an incredible job as an official on both shows in the last three years - in the ring, and thanks him for the thankless job he has succeeded at so far. He then says that he does not have to do this job alone and that he will no longer be alone, and that WWE official Adam Pearce is the new General Manager of Raw. Before Triple H can announce who the General Manager of SmackDown is, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio shows up and says The Judgment Day were screwed out of the tag team titles and is frustrated that "Main Event" Jey Uso and "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes are defending "their" titles. Somehow, Triple H is able to hear Dominik Mysterio, then says Dominik is yelling at the wrong people and that he should be talking to SmackDown's new General Manager: "The National Treasure" Nick Aldis, who suddenly shows up on the outside and enters the ring. Nick Aldis shows up and shakes hands with Triple H and Adam Pearce, then says he is happy to have this position and see some friendly competition between Raw and SmackDown, then mentions the deal that Cody Rhodes made to move Jey Uso to Raw. Dominik then says that Cody and Jey are the problem, but Aldis says he will deal with them later. Dominik threatens to slap whoever has been moved to SmackDown and make them respect him, then Kevin Owens shows up and hits Dominik with a Stunner. Backstage, Roman Reigns is furious that Kevin Owens is on his show, Jey Uso is on Raw and Jimmy Uso is on his couch drinking his water when he should be making the play. Jimmy Uso and Solo leave Roman's dressing room.





We see a video package for Dragon Lee.

Backstage, Chelsea Green and Piper Niven proposes to new General Manager Nick Aldis new women's tag team titles with Italian leather to replace the current ones that are supposedly cursed. Aldis dismisses them, then meets with Charlotte Flair and tells her that she will go one-on-one with Iyo Sky following what happened last week with Damage CTRL (Bayley, Iyo Sky, Dakota Kai) distracting the referee, saying that things are going to change around here. Aldis leaves, then Charlotte runs into Triple H and Jade Cargill. Charlotte says she knows who Jade is. Jade Cargill says "It's my pleasure," to which Charlotte replies "Oh, it will be."



"Main Event" Jey Uso and "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes retain the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Championships against Grayson Waller and Austin Theory.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for October 13, 2022



The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) beat Shera and Raj Singh in the BTI Match.

"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Alexander says that in the weeks leading up to Bound For Glory, Eddie Edwards referred to their match as "a war," and almost a week later, he can agree that their match was indeed a war. He then tells Eddie that war is over and that he is beaten but not broken, and still Impact World Champion. Alexander says he stands as World Champion and as the heart and soul of Impact Wrestling, and as he admits he is not perfect and has made mistakes, he has learned from his mistake of letting his guard down when the next challenger was waiting to call their shot. He says that instead of waiting for that person to call their shot, he calls them out in order to clear the air and asks some questions, and calls out Bully Ray, who shows up. Alexander welcomes Bully Ray back to Impact Wrestling and says that his reputation precedes him before telling Bully that he is a student of the game who has studied wrestling his whole life and that the Bully Ray he knows would capitalize on any opportunity. He says that he kneeled in front of him bloodied and beaten, but Bully Ray did not call his shot, and he wants to know why. Bully Ray says he would have done that, considering everything he has ever done, including in Impact, and that he has been in Impact longer than he has been anywhere else. He says that he stabbed everyone in the back including his own brother, but he did other great things in Impact and that he did it all. He then says he must "do it right" and that he must be honorable. Alexander says that Bully Ray is the last person in the business he can trust, but Bully Ray says he is not stupid and that everyone will tell him that and that everyone has tried to stab him in the back, too. He says that he has to do this the right thing against Alexander, as nobody has a good word to say about him. Bully says that he wants to leave a good taste in people's mouths about what he did for the business, and that he will not screw him like Moose did. Bully Ray tells Josh Alexander that he will see him coming a mile away and that he will look him in the eye and maybe shake his hand, as he is serious about doing this right. Suddenly, Steve Maclin shows up. Maclin says that this is the first time he and Alexander are out here together, and while they do not see eye-to-eye, there is not a thing that Bully Ray can do or say to make him trust him. Maclin then asks Bully Ray how he got into the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Match and who he had to politick to get into it, as he is more dangerous behind-the-scenes than in the ring and will do whatever it takes to get what he wants. Maclin even mentions Bully Ray waiting a year to turn his back on the company and reveal himself to be the leader of Aces and Eights, then says that he himself does not stab in the back and comes straight forward. Maclin talks about how he has beaten two former world champions twice and asks how many more former world champions he has to beat before Moose suddenly arrives. Moose gives credit to Maclin where credit is due, then tells him to sit this one out as he is standing in the presence of world champions, and to watch how world champions conduct business. He then considers Bully Ray's actions and refusal to call his shot "shocking," and that he modeled what he does in Impact on what Bully did. Moose then calls Bully "a scumbag," then says he likes scumbags because he himself is a scumbag. Moose says he always looked at Bully Ray as "savage and despicable" and willing to do anything to win a match, and that Alexander and his family know just how dangerous he can be because he learned from Bully Ray. He then tells Alexander that what he has done in Impact in the last two years have been very impressive, and that only two men have pinned him in that ring and that he is one of them and did it in ten seconds. Suddenly, Bobby Fish shows up and says nobody around the ring is "spilling lies," and says that Moose has turned himself into "a total scumbag" and that Maclin is calling Bully Ray "a locker room politician" before asking where the lie is. He then addresses Bully Ray, saying that he is a scumbag with the resume he rolled out with, yet Josh Alexander "did not scumbag him." Bobby Fish then says he is geared up and wanting to know if Alexander will challenge him tonight in his hometown. Alexander says there is a lot of talk and even more unanswered questions, then accepts Bobby Fish's challenge.



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley). Sabin admits they are not tag team champions, but that is because Honor No More (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) cheated. Shelley says they cannot turn back time, but they can get another shot at the tag team titles from Scott D'Amore. On the way to Scott D'Amore, Heath and Rhino show up and tell The Motor City Machine Guns that they have gotten a shot at the title next week in order to fulfill a promise to become tag team champions by the end of the year. Heath also tells the Machine Guns that they deserve a title shot, but it will be against them and not Honor No More.

Killer Kelly beats Tasha Steelz in a no-disqualification match with a Killer Clutch with a chain.



Backstage, Johnny Swinger and Zicky Dice brag about being in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Match when Dirty Dango shows up and calls what Swinger and Zicky are wearing a fashion violation. As things get tense between them, two yellow-hoodied men are being held back by security when Sami Callihan beats up the men in the hoddies and tells them he is coming for Eric Young after what happened in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Match.

Backstage, Scott D'Amore congratulates Josh Alexander for going to war with Eddie Edwards and coming out as champion, and after telling Alexander that he has Bobby Fish, he tells Alexander to take what Moose and Steve Maclin said into consideration. He tells Alexander that he was the one who injected that poison into the company when he hired Bully Ray and Devon in 2005, and that whatever Bully Ray does will be in his own interest. D'Amore tells Alexander to keep his head on a swivel as there is no telling where Bully Ray will come from, and that this mindset must start tonight.

Trey Miguel beats Alex Zayne, Kenny King, Yuya Uemura, Laredo Kid and Black Taurus in a six-way X Division match.



Backstage, Frankie Kazarian is met by "Speedball" Mike Bailey, who thanks him for the match. He says that he did not expect to lose the X Division title, but Kazarian gave his all and he won, and that they both brought the best out of each other. As Mike Bailey and Frankie Kazarian shake hands, Trey Miguel shows up and mentions his six-way match victory and says his sights are also set. Kazarian says both men's futures are bright, but it is yet to be seen if they can beat him for the title.

"The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw and VXT ("The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo and Chelsea Green) beat The Death Dollz (Rosemary, Taya Valkyrie, Jessicka) in a six-Knockout tag team match.



Backstage, Tommy Dreamer and Bully Ray meet up in the locker room. Dreamer says a lot of people are talking about how Bully cannot be trusted and wishes people knew the guy who did some much for him. He says that Bully Ray has a lot of doubters and haters and that he should do the right thing, as they both know that Bully Ray changes when he sees gold and tells him not to make him look like a fool. Bully Ray asks Tommy Dreamer if he has ever made him look like a fool, especially if Dreamer got him his first shot, then says that if he expects anyone to trust him, it is Dreamer, and says he will do it the right way. Dreamer asks Bully Ray if he wants to prove everyone more time, and Bully Ray asks if they want to team up, to which Dreamer replies "Why not?"

Honor No More meets backstage. Maria Kanellis-Bennett says their message was built on adversity, and in the last week, they may have had their fair share of it, but their message remains the same. He says that when one succeeds, they all succeed, and that the tag team titles are a symbol of success. Matt Taven then takes offense to Scott D'Amore not shaking his hand in the last ten months while wondering why Heath and Rhino have a title shot. Mike Bennett asks where Eddie Edwards is, then says Eddie may be gone for the moment and that he will come back when he is ready. He says it is up to them to carry the message and retain the tag team championships.

Matt Cardona beats Bhupinder Gujjar in his first match in months as Brian Myers heads to the ring.



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Mickie James, who says Jordynne Grace proved why she is a dominant champion when she defeated Masha Slamovich, and that if she is still champion, she cannot wait to face her. She then says there are still other women on the roster to take on, and as she has respect for Mia Yim taking her to another level, VXT ("The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo and Chelsea Green) and "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw show up. Purrazzo tells Mickie James that she only respects losers while she is a winner, and Chelsea Green reminds Mickie that she beat her and that she should respect the three of them. Chelsea then says Mickie James had a pity party before coming back to make everything about her with "The Last Rodeo," but Mickie says Mia Yim earned that respect and proposes she and Chelsea have a match if Chelsea thinks she can beat her again. Purrazzo says that they have a tag team title rematch to worry about and decline, and Mickie James tells them to come back and see her after they lose that rematch.

We see footage from earlier tonight of Juice Robinson, Chris Bey and Ace Austin. The three of them agree that a match against Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer would be just "too sweet."

"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander retains the Impact Wrestling World Championship against Bobby Fish. After the match, Frankie Kazarian shows up and congratulates Alexander on his victories against Eddie Edwards and Bobby Fish and says Alexander and Eddie both went to war.

Hiromu Takahashi beats Mark Briscoe by referee stoppage when Mark Briscoe injures his elbow rolling out of the corner very early in the match.

Before the next match, The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian) show up not dressed to wrestle. Kazarian wishes everyone a happy Friday the 13th, and says there are "some very scary looking ladies in the building." They also announced that they are not dressed to wrestle as they are not going to wrestle. Kazarian then recalls the crowd cheering him when he pretended to join Bullet Club, and says the fans are only here to drink, throw streamers and get themselves over. As a result, they are not wrestling tonight because the fans do not deserve to see them wrestle tonight. As they leave, Daniels says they are not dressed to wrestle, but that they do not need to be to beat Best Friends (Trent Barretta and Chuckie T). After asking the crowd if they want to see that, he tells them to "eat a dizz" as they are not wrestling tonight and the fans can all go to Hell. Shortly after The Addiction leaves, The Dawgs (Rhett Titus and Will Ferrara) show up, and talk about how every time the Cleveland Browns come to town, they kick the Pittsburgh Steelers' asses and how the fans will have something in common with the Steelers as none of them want anything from The Dawgs. Titus then says this is why they will beat Best Friends tonight, and that nobody wants anything from them.

Best Friends (Trent Barretta and Chuckie T) beat The Dawgs (Rhett Titus and Will Ferrara). During the match, Will Ferrara pulls out a chain, but Cheeseburger runs in, takes it away from Ferrara and proceeds to jump on the apron and distract Rhett Titus.

Kazarian is clotheslined out of the ring, while Daniels is at the mercy of both teams in the ring and falls victim to a double choke slam from Best Friends. Afterwards, Best Friends hands the ROH World Tag Team Championships back to The Motor City Machine Guns.

Bully Ray shows up. He talks about how he concussed at Death Before Dishonor, and says he does not know what his future is and that he does not know if he will ever wrestle again. Last week, he got a call from the Ring of Honor executives telling him not to show up and take care of himself, and he considered it for a little while until he found out what towns the Global Wars tour would be in and realized that there was no way he was not going to show up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The fans chant "E-C-DUB," and he finds it interesting that the fans would chant that, as the Golden Dome is nearby and that passionate wrestling cities like Pittsburgh will always mean something to him. In 1996, he wrestled for the very first time in Pittsburgh, and remember when Troy Palomalo jumped over the guardrail and Speared him. He feels that it was necessary to show up and make eye contact with the fans, and says that you will not meet a lot of wrestlers who appreciates the fans like he does. He says that Pittsburgh has always been a great town for him regardless of where he was working at the time, and that this is his first time in Pittsburgh with ROH and it tops all the other times he has been here. He hopes that he gets to see the fans again one day, but he does not think it will happen. In case this is the last time, he thanks the fans and says "it's been a hell of a run."

Before the next match, "The Villain" Marty Scurll says that since they are in "Bullet Club country," they might as well make it a little more interesting and make it a title match. The match is officially made a math for the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships under "Bullet Club Rules."

Bullet Club ("The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, "The Cleaner" Kenny Omega, "The Villain" Marty Scurll) retain the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships against CHAOS (Toru Yano, YOSHI-HASHI, "The Aerial Assassin" Will Ospreay) after Toru Yano submits to Marty Scurll's Chickenwing.

Juicy Joey shushes Karen Jarrett, but Karen stops laughing and says Joey has forgotten who he is talking to and that she is here to talk about the women main eventing tonight, and says Joey, Kenny and half the men in the back cannot even hold a candle to them. He tells them to take their shirts and head to the back, because there is only one "Double J" and it is not Juicy Joey. Joey says something to Karen, but Karen slaps him and Kenny. Amber Gallows then kicks Joey in the face before grabbing the top rope and dropping down when Kenny charges at her.

Nick Aldis is irritated with the fact that Chris Mordetzky brought his personal life into everything, and says that he will use it against him again. Chris Mordetzky, on the other hand, sees nothing wrong with this and he and Mickie James go way back. Jarrett says Mordetzky is a main-event man who can go bell to bell and is also an arrogant prick. Nick Aldis says that Mordetzky did not have to bring Mickie James into this, but he did. Mordetzky calls Nick Aldis a great British wrestler with a great body and great ring skills, but calls him "a poor man's Chris Adonis." Jarrett and Nick Aldis also bring up Chael Sonnen lighting the fire between Adlis and Mordetzky, and even Jarrett says that Aldis is furious about this. Aldis says Mordetzky is trying to get into his head, and says that because of this, he is in Mordetzky's head.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 13, 2014

Dean Ambrose shows up to start the show. He wants to beat Seth Rollins down so bad that Rollins will wish he never met him, but he has to deal with John Cena first. He also thinks Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are protecting their "golden boy," Seth Rollins, as well. Ambrose plans to grab the contract at his match against Cena at Hell in a Cell and beat the crap out of him with it. John Cena shows up, and tells Ambrose to shut up and prepare for his match in two weeks, as his instability will ruin his opportunity. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon show up, and Stephanie puts Cena and Ambrose in a triple threat tag team match against The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) and Gold & Stardust (Goldust and Stardust), and Triple H makes a standard bet that Cena and Ambrose can't coexist for this match.

John Cena and Dean Ambrose beat The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) and Gold & Stardust (Goldust and Stardust) in a triple threat tag team match.

Saturday Morning Slam Masters - Saturday Morning Slam recap for October 13, 2012

Santino Marella guests on commentary this week.

The Miz beats Justin Gabriel after dodging a springboard moonsault to hit the Skull Crushing Finale (which is called the "Crushing Finale" to avoid giving the episode a TV-PG rating in America).

On The 3rd Degree, the WWE Superstars mention what their favorite Superstar entrance themes are.

We meet Jim Johnston in WWE's recording studio, who briefly describes his job as composer of WWE Superstar entrance themes past and present before playing a few themes on guitar. He gives the advice of not pre-deciding what to do if you go into music, and to get as good as you can so more opportunities can pop up in the future.

Justin Gabriel tells us: Don't try this. He also talks about how he tore every single in his left arm after performing the 450 Splash at WrestleMania.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for October 13, 1997

Eric Bischoff, "Macho Man" Randy Savage - in a neck brace - and "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan show up to start the show. It is noted by commentary that Hogan has shown up without the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in his possession. Bischoff announces the premiere of Hogan's new movie Assault on Devil's Island on TNT on October 28, and asks the fans not to sneak signs advertising the premiere to WWF shows as "they would really hate that." Bischoff then Interim WCW Commissioner "Rowdy" Roddy Piper has a lot of gall to force The Outsiders (Scott Hall and Kevin Nash) to defend the tag titles tonight and to allow Diamond Dallas Pag eto injure Savage last week. Hogan calls the injury to Savage inexcusable, and that Piper should be preventing injuries and not causing them, but the nWo will soon take care of this. Hogan then says that Piper now has the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in his possession, and says Piper's use of the word "icon" is one reason for him to destroy him. He knows that Piper will be in the building tonight, and he will take the World title back while the nWo will drop Diamond Dallas Page like a bad habit.

Before the opening bout, it is announced before the match that Disco Inferno vs. Jacqueline will not be for the WCW World Television Championship due to a ruling by the Nevada State Athletic Commission stating that a mixed gender match cannot be for a male-dominated title, therefore making the bout a non-title match.

Eddie Guerrero retains the WCW Cruiserweight Championship against Psychosis, who is no longer accompanied by Sonny Onoo.

Mike Tenay makes another report on lucha libra and the masked luchadores, this time on the Mexico City mask-masking workshop of Victor Martinez, the meaning of the mask in lucha libre, and what it means to lose one's mask in lucha de apuestas, or "bet matches."

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Interim WCW Commissioner "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. Piper says he has two orders of business to take care of right now: telling Eric Bischoff he's the boss and calling what happened to "Macho Man" Randy Savage justice. He then focuses on "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, saying he doesn't deserve the WCW World Heavyweight Championship after what he did to it, and that he has put it in good hands where he won't find it. He also has one more piece of business that is very important: admitting that he was right about The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) and forcing them to put the tag team titles on the line tonight or they will be stripped of the titles and made "more nakeder than the day they were born."

We see a performance by The Nitro Girls.

Steve "Mongo" McMichael beats Steven Regal. After the match, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Debra McMichael and addresses rumors that Jeff Jarrett is no longer part of World Championship Wrestling, confirming that Jarrett has left the company and has a new partner. Mongo shows up and says that he warned her about Jarrett and that when two snakes get in to bed together, one bits the other sooner or later. He then tells Debra to go back home and get back in the kitchen where she can really be a star. Okerlund says Mongo has won by default, but Debra says she has a plan and a big surprise for Mongo at Halloween Havoc as she always gets her way, and tells him that a dead snake can still bite.

This Saturday on WCW Saturday Night: Glacier and "The Cat" Ernest Miller! Alex Wright! Rey Mysterio Jr.! Steve "Mongo" McMichael!

We see some pre-recorded from Sonny Onoo, where he says he has been unable to teach Ultimo Dragon some respect with the luchadors, and now he has the real deal in the form of Yuji Nagata. Thanks to "a little friend in the WCW office," Nagata and the Dragon will square off at Halloween Havoc, and he will recollect the debt that he can never pay. We the hear from Yuji Nagata briefly.

Yuji Nagata beats Chris Jericho with the Reverse Figure Four Leg Lock, which Nagata calls the Nagata Lock.

We see Raven near a crib, and he makes the following statement: "My earliest memories are not of anything specific. They're more like memories of feelings as opposed to events. Feelings of abandonment, feelings of loneliness, feelings of sadness. They say our destiny is formed in those earliest moment, that our fate is determined at this critical juncture. The chosen begin their paths toward greatness; the ill-fated are doomed from the beginning. The unfortunate devour themselves in search for annihilation. You see, we are all prisoners of our own nature, locked in a certain pattern of behavior. I could no sooner change the path that I've been placed upon than I could stop a swallow from migrating or a salmon from spawning. So it is written. So it shall pass. Quoth the Raven, nevermore."

Bill Goldberg beats Scotty Riggs. (This is the first match in which Goldberg comes out to the entrance that he will best be known for, which was originally used by other former WCW talents, including former Bad Company member Pat Tanaka.) Raven, Perry Saturn, and an unknown man who is just as grungy-looking as the other two are seen in the front row before the match. We learn that Goldberg's finisher, which he has used to finish off his first three opponents, is known as the Jackhammer.



We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

Pyrotechnics signal the start of the second hour.

Before the next match, Scott Hall and Syxx show up, the latter wearing Kevin Nash's half of the tag team titles as per "Wolfpack Rules." Scott Hall says WCW is acting real tough with a hand-picked referee in "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko and Lex Luger together, saying they couldn't beat him on their best night. He also says that The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) have challenged them knowing that Kevin Nash is at home from knee surgery, but being the working men they are, they will still defend the tag titles against The Steiners.

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat The Wolfpack (Scott Hall and Syxx, with the latter replacing Kevin Nash due to "Wolfpack Rules") for the WCW World Tag Team Championships after Scott Hall drags the referee out of the ring and knocks him out only to be distracted by "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko. Zbyszko counts the pinfall for The Steiner Brothers to take the tag titles away from the nWo.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

Before the next match, it is announced that "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko is an assigned official at World Championship Wrestling and The Steiner Brothers' (Rick and Scott Steiner) tag team title win is official, and that if Eric Bischoff - who no longer has the power to instantly reverse such decisions - wants to challenge the results, he will have to go through Interim WCW Commissioner "Rowdy" Roddy Piper.

Dean Malenko beats Rey Mysterio Jr. after Eddie Guerrero shows up and rips Rey's mask off his face.

Diamond Dallas Page says he doesn't know what success is as he hasn't reached his goals in or out of the ring. He doesn't measure his goals the way other people due, including "the Hogans and the Savages," like how big his house is or how expensive his car is. He and Kimberly live in the same house, he still hangs out with the same guys and he still works out at the Power Plant to keep his edge. He's the same person, only more focused, as he can't afford not to be more focused. He has respect for what Interim WCW Commissioner "Rowdy" Roddy Piper has done as Interim WCW Commissioner, noting he has a lot of his plate and that he appreciates what he did for him last week as it could have gotten ugly. He mentions the rules for his match against "Macho Man" Randy Savage at Halloween Havoc, saying "no rules" makes a man think as he knows what a savage Savage is and how much he hates him. More than anything, he knows how much he's going to be hurting after the match. He would be lying if he wasn't the least bit nervous, but it keeps him coming back to the Power Plant as it keeps him focused and reminded of where he comes from. He is not looking past Halloween Havoc as he cannot afford a negative thought in his head, as negative breeds negative and positive breeds positive. Halloween Havoc is the only thing he can afford to think about.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Interim WCW Commissioner "Rowdy" Roddy Piper again. On the subject of the tag team title match from earlier tonight, "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko has been sanctioned as a referee for Halloween Havoc, and the decision for that match stands. He knows that the nWo says tradition bites, and tells them reality bites, too before screaming "Hail the Steiners!" He says that "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan are getting ready for the cage match of the century as Eric Bischoff and "Macho Man" Randy Savage shows up. Bischoff confronts Piper, calling him an "interim junior wanna-be commissioner" and that he will pay for "the felonious assault that he was an accomplice in" to Savage last week as he tells him he couldn't fill his slippers. He also demands that Hogan be given the World title back and The Wolfpack (Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Syxx) be given the tag team titles back. Piper immediately goes into battle mode, wrapping his belt around his fist, but Konnan, Buff Bagwell, Vincent and Scott Norton show up to outnumber him. All of a sudden, a man in a Sting mask and brown wig slowly walks to the ring only to strike Piper with his baseball bat before taking the mask off to reveal it was Hogan in disguise all along. The nWo then gang up on Piper.

We see a video package for "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair vs. Curt Hennig for the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship at Halloween Havoc.

Scott Norton beats Ray Traylor after Vincent distracts referee Mickey Jay and Buff Bagwell hands Norton a can of spray paint to use as a weapon. During the match, Billy Kidman shows up with a grungier look and joins Raven, Perry Saturn and the as-of-yet unnamed third man in the front row. After the match, Bagwell, Norton and Vincent stomp on Ray Traylor before Norton spray paints "nWo" on Traylor's back.

Disco Inferno reverses a roll-up and grabs the tights to retain the WCW World Television Championship against Alex Wright despite the distraction from Jacqueline.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

Diamond Dallas Page beats Curt Hennig for the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship...or does he? During the match, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair tries to get involved in the match but is stopped by WCW security. He somehow manages to get his hands on Hennig just as referee Randy Anderson counts three and chases him out of the ring.

Interim WCW Commissioner "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and referee Randy Anderson return with the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship, and Diamond Dallas Page is awarded the win. and the nWo rushes in to attack both Page and Piper, with Eric Bischoff joining in on the fun last. "Macho Man' Randy Savage hits Page with a top rope elbow drop, revealing that his neck is not hurt. Sting is also seen in the audience at the end of the show, but it is revealed to be yet another man in a Sting mask, followed by another...and another...and another. Multiple people dressed as Sting approach the ring, and they are all attacked by the nWo, and as they get beat up, more and more men dressed as Sting show up, but one of them is the real one underneath a Sting match, much to the surprise of The New World Order. He hands Piper the WCW WOrld Heavyweight Championship as the nWo runs out of the ring.
