Memphis Thing - Memphis Wrestling recap for December 13, 2025

Dustin Starr interviews Diana Taylor at the announce desk to start today's show. Diana is glad to have the women's championship back where it belongs, and says that Nyxx lost it so easily that she did not deserve it. As Diana states that there is nobody in the back who can touch her for the belt, Main Event Money (Main Event Bradley, CJ Money, Mama Money) shows up, and Main Event Bradley states that the only reason Diana is a three-peat champion is because Mama Money was not involved. He calls Mama Money the best women's wrestler in Memphis Wrestling and declares that Mama Money will win the women's title and bring more money to Main Event Money. Diana says that she knows how Main Event Money works and that she has her own friends: Xya Wolfe and Raven Black. Bradley says he feels like beating up women today, and challenges them to a six-person tag match.

Diana Taylor, Xya Wolfe and Raven Black beat Main Event Money (Main Event Bradley, CJ Money, Mama Money) in a six-person tag match.

Dustin Starr interviews "The Gift" Ray Sanders at the announce desk. Sanders says that the last time he and Simon were in the ring, he piledrived him into chairs in front of friends and family. He says that Simon has been suspended, then rips his neck brace off and says he is looking for a fight. He says he has faced lions, tigers and bears his whole life and has been in all kinds of matches, and he has even beaten Aaron Roberts, and he is not scared of Simon. Simon may have put him down, but he will get back up and face him again. He announces that Matchmaker King Cobra has made it official, and next week, it is him and Simon in a no-disqualification match for the Heritage Championship.

We see a vignette for Major Curtis, who is looking for new soldiers for his platoon in the WrestleCenter. He has somebody do 25 push-ups, then says he will return next week.

"The Gold Standard" Eli Knox guests on commentary for the next match.

"Cold Hearted" Colton Cage retains the Memphis Wrestling Junior Heritage Championship against "The Ember" Shawn Aries. After the match, "The Gold Standard" Eli Knox tells Colton Cage that he has only survived him before demanding another title shot. Colton Cage says Eli Knox had his respect, but he threw it all away, then wants to know what Eli Knox has and demands he put something on the line. Eli Knox is left speechless.

The L.A. Hustlers (Notorious Bradley and Ruffshot Lamonte) vs. Muddy Waters (Gio Savage and RJW) ends with The Slaughterhouse (Reverend Ash Taylor, Jagged James, Nasty Nick) beating up both teams. Reverend Ash Taylor demands that they either get The Modern Day Monsters, or else this keeps happening.

"The Problem" Aaron Roberts beats "The Chosen One" Zay Washington by disqualification after Washington hits Roberts with a low blow in full view of the ref after Roberts catches Justin Case's chain. Washington then wraps the chair around Roberts' head and runs him into the ring post before Justin Case handcuffs Roberts to the ring. Washington gives Roberts more of a beating, and Justin Case slaps Roberts in the face. Senior referee David Knight has to call for help and check on Roberts. Justin Case and Zay Washington leave, but Washington returns for one more cheap shot on Roberts.
