I like that boulder….that’s a nice boulder.
After a quick rundown of a few of tonight’s matches, we go live with Drew McIntyre!
Drew wants to know who is ready for a new champion. He wants priest, but he knows where Priest is, there must be a Judgment Day nearby.
Here comes Damien Priest who comes out with Finn Balor and JD McDonagh.
Priest tells Drew he has his shot but he’s still making excuses.Last week, Priest made it personal? Why? Because he played Drew’s game? Drew made it personal by saying he needs Judgment Day to be champion. This title isn’t theirs, it’s his. He’s going into Drew’s territory and put him down, and as much as he loves his crew, he doesn’t need them to be champion. He is champ because he is Damien Priest.
Drew says his title belongs to him, but Priest tells him to give it a rest. He’ll make this real simple – how bout tonight, Drew vs Finn. If he wins, Judgment Day will be barred from ringside. But when Finn wins, he wants them there front and center to have the honor to watch him beat him in his home.
Drew is down.
We head back to last week when Liv cornered Dom like a dom.
Backstage, Liv Morgan tells Dominik Mysterio that she’d like to call him daddy, and offers him her hotel room key.

His briefcase, his peach, his boy Tucky…he lost it all. Gable was there. He is his family. Maxxine is his family. Akira is his family. Without Gable, he is nothing.

Nice.

Sami comes out to cut a promo about what hes going to do after he beats Gable, but Chad Gable comes out with his Academy to cut that shit off quickly.
He says typical Sami, trying to make himself the hero. But he is the hero. He is his Academy’s hero, and will triumph when he takes the title this Saturday.
Sami wonders if Gable really thinks his team is happy. Do they look happy?
They don’t.
Sami asks Tozawa if he’s happy. Is Maxxine happy? Gable stares them all down before they can answer.
Gable doesn’t care, but these people do, and they won’t be happy until they leave gable’s sorry ass once and for all.
