A GREAT match with some spots that were sick as fuck and also not contrived. Solid action that kept me glued. I don’t like distraction ending, but this seems to be leading to a potential triple threat, so it’s not all bad.

Match Time: 20:09

Last week, Damage Control gained the Tag Team Titles when Kai hit that inverted codebreaker backstabber upside down triple beam knee to the back move that totally should have a name.

They arrived earlier in a limo.

After a break, Damage Control comes out in a golf cart type vehicle and an assload of pyro.

Also, I’m aware it’s CTRL. I don’t care.

DING DONG! Yes, our Bay Area hero is here. She wanted to do a little homecoming celebration together. She isn’t talking about the crowd, though, she is talking about she and her crew. BOOS to them, and Bayley says they are in the presence of champions since the Sharks cannot get it done.

Iyo thanks Bayley, Bayley says she thanks them for believing in her vision.

Kai says they needed each other. This division needed them. But who they don’t need? Asuka, Bliss, and Belair. Don’t need em. Sure, they used to be in ontrol, but now they are in control of nothing. Asuka was once a fearless warrior, Alexa walks around like she got a lobotomy, and for 300+ day, Belair has been phoning it in because she forgot what it’s like to be pinned until Bayley beat her. Now, there is nothing left for them three to do but go home.

Here comes Belair, and alongside her is Alexa and Asuka.

Belair says they were not intended on crashing the party, but then they had to go and run their mouths again. Belair cant just keep letting them disrespect like that. So now, they’ll have to teach them some respect.

Bayley yells at them as they hop up on the apron. This is why the divison spiraled out of control, Belair is too impulsive. Belair needs to see the long game, the big picture. The next time they fight is when Bayley decides she wants her title, and that’s not right now. Belair has enough accessories, so why is Alexa and Asuka here?

Alexa says keep talking, and Asuka and Belair will become accessories to do what she does to them.

Bayley says Alexa used to be a biter, but that was back in the day. Alexa is merely a shell of the old Alexa.

Alexa says how bout tonight, Bayley vs Alexa?

Bliss with a right hand, and the heels leave the ring.

Theory comes out for his match when we return. When Owens makes his entrance, Theory sends him flying off the apron before he can enter. Owens smacks his head on the barricade, then stands up pissed and rolls into the ring.

Owens asks for the bell and here…we…goooo


Match 2: Kevin Owens vs Austin Theory

Kevin shoots the legs, but Theory gets him cornered and stomps him away. Knee to the face until the ref holds him back. Right hand from Theory. Whip to the ropes, reversed, back elbow from KO. Running senton. Kevin up in th corner, running canno—noooo Theory rolls to the outside. Owens follows and Theory sends him into the barricade back first. He then sends owens head into the announce table. Right hand from Owens. Sends Theory face first into the steps, then the announce table. Theory drapes KO over the apron and drops an elbow to his chest.

We are back and Theory whips Owens hard into the corner, causing him to flip upside down to the mat. Theory with a chin lock from behind. Owens tries to spin into it, but Theory drops him down hard on his head and covers for 1…NO!!! Side headlock again, and Owens keeps his shoulder up, reaching for the sky. Owens turns, hits a stunning DDT to the mat! Owens with a superkick out of the corner! He heads to the top rope! Owens flies off! SENTON! Cover! 1…2…NO!!! Owens to the top rope again, Theory clips the legs, Owens with a right, Theory fights back, they fight at the top rope, back and forth. Owens with a right hand to the face. Theory with a right! KO locks the head. Punches to the side from Theory! Owens tries for the super cool suplex, but Owens cant quite get it. Headbutts from Owens as he says he is Theory’s daddy. Chop to the chest, Owens hops up, spins, moonsault!!!! Nobody home! Standing blockbuster from Theory! Cover for 1..2..NO!!! Fisherman’s neckbreaker! Cover for 1..2..NO!!!! Theory tries again for 1..2… NO!!!! Another pin gets 1..2…NO!!!

Theory looks to grab the briefcase, but

Gargano is here!!! He grabs the briefcase! Theory sees! Owens in the ring! POPUP POWERBOMB! Cover for 1..2….3!!!

Winner: Kevin Owens
A hell of a lot of action here, particularly the last half. Another distraction finish kinda makes me ew, but I’ll be damned if they don’t at least give reason for it.

Recap of Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns when we return.

Afterwards, Butch and Ridge are here. Butch grabs a mic, says it’s fight night, and we better get used to seeing them because they will become the new Undisputed Tag Team Champions.

They needed this win, but didn’t gain it easily. It’s nice to see these guys, as it’s really hard for me to watch Friday night with any intense attention. Sure, it’s on at the bar, but since it’s a Friday, I can’t keep my eyes glued. I love the little nods to Sheamus they do. Solid affair.

Backstage, Johnny Gargano is walking backstage. He is stopped by Alpha Academy. Gable says he cost Theory the match, and this doesn’t bode well with him. He wants to give Gargano a free lesson; he just made the biggest mistake of Gargano’s career, because Theory has strength in numbers.

KO walks by and wonders if there is a problem here. Gable says yeah he does have a problem, but it’s with Johnny. KO says no, if there’s a problem with Johnny, then there is a problem with KO. Gable wants a match between them four. Next week, KO and Johnny vs Alpha Academy. KO says that works out great.

The Judgment Day come out, including Dominik. Rhea whispers something in Dom’s ear.

Judgment cuts a promo that says absolutely nothing. When Dom gets the mic, the crowd boos the hell out of him, so I guess maybe they’re onto something?

Priest, Ripley, and Balor all ask for respect, but the crowd don’t want it. Lol. He is proud to stand alongside his real family.

Finn wants to take a family photo. A ringside photographer obliges.

Tag to Priest. GOOZLE!!! CHOKESLAM to Rey! Tag to Finn. Coup De Grace! Cover for 1..2…..3!!!

Winners: The Judgment Day
I wanna say that with all the moving parts, this wasn’t bad, but this is one of those rare occasions where I feel like the damage may actually be irreparable, as I simply don’t care about The Judgmen Day as a faction, particularly in this never ending feud with Rey. Action wise, when Riddle was in the ring, everyone moved faster. The final moments mattered the most, as a bulk of the first half was rest holds from Finn and getting Rey out of the ring.

Recap of Miz leaving his kids for a night on the town and allowing Dexter enough time to draw an entire portrait of Miz and Maryse.

WE ARE BACK and Miz is PISSED. He says just two days ago, he was celebrating his daughter’s 3rd birthday. It was minion themed, and he couldn’t help but assume Dexter was one of those minions. He ended up punching one of them, and all the kids screamed “You hurt Stuart!” Miz wants to know why. Why Miz? Why him? He wants Dexter to come out now, face to face.

Miz waits. Ciampa stares at the ramp as Miz says of course, this is what he thought. This is the platform, right?

We see a knife cutting through the ring behind Miz. Miz says Dexter is not a mad man, he’s a weak-minded sociopath and the next time he sees Dexter, he’s going to kick his ass.

Miz turns, Dexter pokes the top half of his body out, and pulls Miz down. Ciampa is here to help Miz. Dexter then grabs Ciampa and pulls HIM down. Ciampa clocks him over the head with a mic. Miz looks into the hole, and Dexter pops his head back out, eyes unblinking, piercing. Lol.

Backstage, Dom talks about hearing the stories, and wants to go out and celebrate with Priest. Well I’ll be…

Priest vs Riddle is set for next week.

They walk away, but Finn holds them back, says he wants to handle something alone. AJ Styles is on the phone backstage! Finn walks up, wonders if AJ is trying to avoid him. AJ says they haven’t spoken since he joined Judgment Day, but no they’ve talked.

Finn says he never turned his back on AJ. He has always had AJ’s back. AJ says yeah, true, so what happens? AJ joins Judgment Day and turns his back on people he loves? He wants no part. Finn says AJ knows him. He’s looking for his friend, and it looks like AJ is looking for a fight. Is he? OF course he ain’t. Finn hugs AJ, tells him the offer still stands, then does the TOO SWEET gesture.

Bliss video package before the main event.

Winner: Bayley
We could possibly chock up Alexa’s performance to the story commentary was trying to tell: that she has lost a few steps and is unsure of who she is right now, leading to a more finite character. Still, it’s (maybe) because of this that we got just an ok match. Either way, we’ve got something here.
