____________________________

Raw Results:
  • Triple H and Shawn Michaels opened the show to talk about Super Show Down and the beatdown they recieved after the main event. Michaels said he'd honored his retirement agreement for 8+ years based on a respect he now felt did not exist. Triple H asked him,"Are you ready?" and they announced the tag match between DX and The Brothers of Destruction in Saudi Arabia, revealing they were wearing DX gear underneath.
  • Lashley defeated Kevin Owens in a singles match where the crowd was firmly behind Owens and booing Lashley, including every time Lio Rush got on the mic and tried to get them to cheer. After Lashley won he beat down Owens and smirked as he and Rush left as the crowd booed. One would ASSUME this was a heel turn.
  • The Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia will have a WWE World Cup in which four members of Raw and four members of Smackdown will compete to be "the best in the world". John Cena is already announced as in the match.
  • Finn Balor and Bayley were being interviewed backstage when Lashley and Rush showed up to brag about beating down Owens. Rush called Lashley "too sweet" and Balor was not impressed.
  • Elias did a concert and made fun of John Cena's hair and the accents of Australians. He tried for some cheap heat with a shot at the Chicago Cubs, then left when Ronda Rousey showed up.
  • Ronda Rousey and the Bella Twins defeated The Riott Squad, with Brie and Liv Morgan playing up tension from Liv's recent concussion. After Rousey submitted Ruby Riott, she was attacked by the Bellas and intially fought them off before they were able to overwhelm her 2-on-1 and slam her into the steel steps and ring barricade. Crowd booed the Bellas heavily.
  • Balor and Bayley defeated Jinder Mahal and Alicia Fox, with Balor getting the pin on Jinder.
  • Dolph Ziggler was trying to fire up BRAUN! and Drew, but Drew shut him up by reminding him that he is NOT the one in charge AND he's the one who took the pinfall on Saturday. BRAUN! shut them down both up and reminded them that the only reason they're around is to make sure HE wins the Universal Title.
  • Heath Slater wanted Baron Corbin to add him to the Battle Royale tonight for a spot in the WWE World Cup, but Corbin declined, saying that Slater just wasn't any good. The crowd was not happy about that, the man has kids!
  • The members of the Battle Royale turned out to be various jobbers "representing" other countries, with Baron Corbin representing America. Corbin destroyed all the jobbers except for the fully masked/covered up Conquistador, who spent the match outside the ring. When Corbin realized he still had Conquistador to deal with, he went to attack, and Conquistador hit three German Suplexes and an Angle Slam to elim....
  • Wait a minute....


  • :aaa:

  • THAT'S NOT CONQUISTADOR!
  • Kurt Angle was revealed as the man behind the mask, now a member of the WWE World Cup. The crowd went nut. Absolutely banana.
  • Angle told Charly Caruso he was technically still on vacation, and left with a wink.
  • Ember Moon defeated Nia Jax by countout after Jax charged Moon outside the ring and hit the video board. The crowd booed the finish, and Ember teased attacking Jax before giving her a hug.
  • Trish Stratus came out to answer Alexa Bliss' allegations from last week that she big-leagued her as a child, pointing out that the math didn't add up. Bliss and Mickie James came out to talk trash, with Mickie James wanting to tag with Alexa against Trish. Trish said that wasn't a bad idea, and she had her own tag partner in mind.
  • Lita came out to a big pop and together they chased off Bliss and James.
  • The Shield did one of their old style promos, with Dean saying all three of them were the bad guys, Reigns saying it didn't matter where they fought, and Rollins saying their group was the one true constant in WWE.
  • Bobby Roode and Chad Gable defeated The Ascension in the latest in a round of endless matches involving 2 or more of the 4. Postmatch, The Authors of Pain ran down and murdered both teams.
  • Ronda Rousey vs. Nikki Bella for the Raw Women's Championship at Evolution was made official, as was the tag between Trish/Lita and Alexa/Mickie.
  • Paul Heyman came out and did a promo about how Brock is at home and not watching the show, because he is not a team player and only cares about himself. He will return in Saudi Arabia, defeat BRAUN! and Roman to regain the Universal Championship, and go back to being the Champ while doing whatever the hell he wants, whenever he wants. The Shield's music played so Heyman cleared out.
  • The Shield and BRAUN!, Drew and Ziggler had a far superior match to their Australia one. The crowd was hot and everybody looked great. At one point, Ziggler took a beating before BRAUN! destroyed The Shield and then read Ziggler the riot act about all the crap he pulls and his failure to pull his weight. Drew got in BRAUN!'s face and the crowd went wild at the thought, before The Shield broke it up by starting to fight them all again.
  • Drew pinned Ambrose at the end of a wild final act to a pretty wild match, with everybody getting laid out at ringside and Ambrose getting caught by Drew after hitting a DDT on BRAUN! on the outside of the ring.
  • BRAUN! Drew and Dolph celebrated on the ramp, while The Shield were left fuming in the ring. Dean stormed out leaving behind Roman and Seth watching him go, confused.
____________________________

Smackdown Results:
  • After the commentators hyped up the WWE World Cup matches tonight, the show opened with the Smackdown Women's Title rematch between Charlotte Flair and Champion Becky Lynch. Becky would be stripped of the title if she was DQed (boos from the crowd, and Becky was cheered clearly and loudly over Charlotte during the ring introductions.
  • Becky Lynch retained her title against Charlotte in a long, pretty drat good match in which they beat the poo poo out of each other and continued to sell the idea that their dislike of each other was building to white-hot hate. After a long match, Becky tried to leave with the belt but Charlotte threw her back into the ring, and Becky almost got DQed after knocking Charlotte into the ref and getting caught brandishing the belt at Charlotte. The match descended into a straight up brawl between the two until both were counted out because they were too busy kicking each other's asses outside the ring. They continued to fight up the ramp, Becky initially getting the best of Charlotte until she recovered and hit a Spear on Becky and sent them both through the led panels. Charlotte was really selling the damage done to her arm throughout the match.
  • Samoa Joe vs. Jeff Hardy in the WWE World Cup ended on a referee stoppage, the ref refusing to let Joe - whose leg was still screwed up from the beating he took from AJ Styles in Australia - continue. Joe was livid but unable to do anything about it, unable to even stand. Jeff Hardy is now in the WWE World Cup.
  • A video played highlighting all of Randy Orton's many accomplishments across his career.
  • Evolution reunites on Smackdown 1000 next week, including Batista!
  • A recap of the end of Becky/Charlotte aired, with the commentators proclaiming that Charlotte was fine and would be in the Mixed Match Challenge after Smackdown. Paige then appeared to announce that Charlotte and Becky would face off one last time time for the title at the Evolution PPV, in a Last Woman Standing Match.
  • MizTV's guests were AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan, who had a lot of fun at Miz's expense (calling him the two minute man, making fun of how quickly Bryan beat him in Australia). AJ put over Joe while pointing out that he kicked Joe's rear end, and Miz tried to stir poo poo up between them which they ignored, making fun of him more. Things started to pick up between the two when Bryan got fired up about how he hadn't returned to fight the likes of Kane, Miz or big cass but the very best, and that was AJ. They got in each other's faces, but then went back to mocking Miz.
  • Miz lost his poo poo and (quite rightly) pointed out that all the matches he won against Bryan were largely as a result of kicking his rear end/while Bryan's win came as the result of a sudden small package (also his shoulder was up, and the ref was out of position, and it was Miz's birthday!). He told AJ it was his fault that the WWE Championship no longer headlined PPVs, and whoever won at Crown Jewel, Miz wanted to face them next.
  • Miz and Bryan did guest commentary during AJ Styles vs Shelton Benjamin, with Miz spitting fire and in a fury while Bryan just chuckled and mocking that Miz didn't know the difference between a roll-up and a Small Package, nobody taking him seriously because he always lied and cheated, and how his "knockout" of Bryan came via the use of Brass Knuckles. About halfway through the match, the commentary (and the crowd) finally started paying attention to Shelton and AJ and putting over Shelton. AJ defeated Shelton with the Phenomenal Forearm.
  • Aiden came to the ring to show the director's cut of "One Night in Milwaukee" which he claimed to have gotten a six figure offer for. This time the video didn't pause and we saw Lana say she wanted him.... to know how much she and Rusev appreciate what he does and how glad they are to have him around. In the video, Aiden then reaches for Lana before it paused again. Rusev came out and Aiden said that they all knew what would happen next on the video, but he would destroy it if Rusev kicked Lana to the curb and reunited Rusev Day.
  • Lana joined Rusev, and Rusev told him to play the full video. English declined, so Lana offered to do it herself, because English got hacked (his password was i:love:rusev). In the video, Aiden reaches for Lana and she recoils all,"Uhhh dude, you misunderstood...." and leaves the room.
  • "CREEEEP!" screamed one dude in the crowd, and a small chant of,"CREEP!" started up. English admitted that yes nothing happened between them, but if Lana ever got tired of Rusev Days, she could call him to enjoy an Aiden Night. Rusev charged and initially got hands on English, but he was able to escape.
  • Next week on Smackdown 1000, Shinsuke Nakamura will fight for a spot in the WWE World Cup.... AGAINST REY MYSTERIO :derp::supaburn::derp:
  • Randy Orton defeated The Big Show to get into the WWE World Cup. This was Big Show's first match back since his cage match against BRAUN! and he looked good and was well recieved. Orton did thumb the eye on Big Show to survive, and hit the RKO as Big Show stumbled around trying to get his vision back.

Smackdown results belated added to the OP. I really dug the Charlotte/Becky match and how the last few minutes it was just a straight up hateful brawl between the two of them.


Holy gently caress, Becky is so goddamn cool.

I really do wonder how much longer WWE can coast by on the fact that nobody "legit" takes them in any way seriously. They're making billions exploiting their employees and are now connected on the world stage and have direct links to the loving President of the United States, but it still seems like actual reporters/investigators just kind of dismiss the idea of looking into them beyond human interest stories since pro-wrestling is so low rent.

Rovert shouldn't back down on this. He should keep up his journalism, even if it lands him the same fate as this actual journalist. Especially, even.

Dude. The guy was tortured, murdered and dismembered, even as an obvious joke this is a bit much.

The FBI are gonna investigate this fully, but they only have an hour to do so and they're not allowed to talk to anybody involved in the case, and nobody is allowed to see their finished report.

lmao Naomi hasn't done poo poo since they did this either.

Remember how it looked like Bayley had won that and it felt like it was something to do with her Sasha feud, then Naomi just came in and threw her out to win out of nowhere with no storyline around it whatsoever. I mean, it did get a pop at least, so there's that I guess.
