LA Traffic is my third favorite thing in this world. Justin Watry is a close second.
We are five minutes late to the show, and I come to with Jon Moxley and Hangman Adam Page just goin at it against one another. Security is trying to rip them apart, and are eventually successful, but not before they each get their licks in.
After asking, I learn that Moxley essentially came out to say no one was on his level, only for Hangman to come out and challenge that notion. Jon’s retort – that we all remember what happened last time these two went at it – grew the ire of Hangman, and thus, the rumble went down.

Bryan extends his hand for a shake. Dax denies him, walks away, then shows he was just joking, turns and shakes the hand of Bryan.
BACKSTAGE, Ricky Starks is with Tony Schiavone. Ricky gets a title shot at Winter is Coming. Ricky is also entering himself in the Battle Royal next week. He will make a judgment call right now; he’s going to win. He is coming for everything MJF has. The title, the ring, his spot. Everything he has, Starks is owed that just as well.
WE are back and Hangman is being ushered out backstage by some security, only for Jon to run up on him and attack some more! More security comes, and we head to Renee for more.
She is backstage with JAS AND BCC. They have agreed to no physicality.
Menard talks first, tells Claudio that when he loses to Jericho next week and is forced to join JAS, he can be anything he wants – even a yodeler.
Claudio is asked what it means to win the title. He says it proves he can win the big one.
Hager brings a hat out of the fanny pack and offers it to Claudio.
Claudio is sick of this. He is the best, he will beat Jericho, he goes off on JAS and damn near breaks a chair. He leaves.
Garcia says the BCC is falling apart. Yuta says he is done with all of this shit. The only reason they are not dead to him is because he wants the ROH Pure Title. He wants a title shot at Final Battle. He’s also down for a tag match against Hager and Garcia.
I enjoy that they’re trying to keep the humor a live, but there’s a time and a place, this was not it.
We are back to the ring and loks like newcomer AR Fox is getting a TNT Title shot.

Joe with e mic! He welcomes us all to a new and glorious era, for he is the one true king of television.
Wardlow is on the tron! He hopes Joe is enjoying playing the role, because Wardlow is coming for what is his. This isn’t Joe’s world, it’s Wardlow’s World.
A multi-part Hobbs video package starts with its first part here.
William Regal is here! Must know that Moxley is no longer in the building.
He enters the ring, and there is a blanket covered table.
Regal grabs the mic, is ready to bless us.
He introduces MJF, and out comes YOUR World Champ! Regal gets a hug, then he turns to us. He says when he is holding the mic, we keep our mouths shut. STFU chant starts as he begins to try and
MJF says Regal read him an e mail. Regal told him in an e mail that MJF hsas become weak. He sees all the potential in him to become the greatest villain of all time. However, said previously, he has much to learn. He says in order to win the title you must not grab the dynamite ring, you must instead grab the brass one.
After this e mail, they met behind closed doors, and MJF admits that Regal is a genius. At Full Gear, he told him, do not use the ring, use the knucks. He didn’t want him to beat Jon Moxley; he wanted to leave Jon Moxley with a lesson in the form of an emotional scar, so that he would never forget the day that he was outsmarted by MJF.
Lets talk about The Firm, now. To be honest, eh, he kind of respects them. They saw a weakness in him and attacked like sharks. He would have done the same, and even if he harbored resentment, does he seem like the type to chase anyone down? Effort is for poors like all of us. He is above that. Speaking of things he is above…let’s talk about this belt.
When he became our champion, he made a promise to himself that he would make change around here. Out with the old, and in with the new, and whenever he looks at the current title, he kind of wants to gag in his mouth. It needs an upgrde. It reminds him of the people who held it before him, and we can all agree that none of them are on his level. This is why this version of the title, is garbage.
He tosses it out of the ring.
Regal unveils the new title. It is a Burberry patterned leather with similar plates. Wow. Lol.
No one deserves to be recognized as World Champion except for him. No overhyped pieces of trash we push for, not fake tough guys like Eddie Kingston, he’ll never be champion. Fake tough guys like Ricky Starks…he’s a fake star, and the worst of the worst? Fake wrestlers like Bryan Danielson. Compared to MJF, Danielson couldn’t wrestle him out of a paper bag. No offense Regal, some people just cant be helped.
Speaking of those who cant be help, he has a message for HIS locker room. As long as he is in this company, they will never know what it feels like ot be on top, because he will be a champion for a long, long time. All the way until the bidding war of 2024. He will make more money in a day than any of these white trash disgusting hicks will see in their lives. He just prays to god the right Khan foots the bill, and he aint talking about Tony….he’s talking bout his boy Jolly Ol Saint Nick, and his other boy Trips.
If he is being completely transparent, come January 2024, he doesn’t even know if it’s a wrestling company that wins, because he is getting tired at looking at the fans on a weekly basis. Maybe Hollywood wins.
He is not deaf; he knows there is an interesting amount of us over the moon when he became champion, but this happiness will soon turn to resentment, because we are fickle. Soon, he will hear about MJF being boring and repetitive. He’s a coward. TO them? Great. Because every single week, we will tune in praying to God someone will take the title (Triple B) away. The title will be defended very rarely, and he will wrestle very rarely. In order for us poors to see him defend this title, we will have to pay. He will have a reign that will make Bruno roll in his shitty little grave.
Ladies and gents, we are now in the era of MJF, and his reign of terror has just begun.
Wait, he almost forgot…
He brings the brass knucks out, and tells Regal that without them and without Regal, none of this was possible. Everyone respects Regal. For 40 years, he has given it all. From the bottom of MJF’s heart…
MJF CLOCKS REGAL FROM BEHIND WITH THE KNUCKLES!!!!!
Nice.
MJF: “You say I had much to learn, and yet you’re the one who made a deal with the devil.”
He then quotes Regal’s letter to him years ago and signs off as the world champion.
Bryan runs down in shorts and a towel on his shoulder. He checks on Regal as MJF leaves through the crowd. Commentary calls this bad news.
Tony: “Something needs to be done about this piece of shit.”
Next match is Starks vs Ari, but Ethan Page and Stokely come out with Matt Hardy.
Hardy shoots forward and does his Delete thing, so Stokely tells him to get his ass to the back. Page reminds him that he owns Matt, and he will help him win next week. Page is calling it now, after Winter is Coming, Page is going wo whip MJF’s ass when he is tired with Ricky. He will win the ring, and Ricky will watch and cry…if you even make it.
Ari attacks from behind!
Match 2: Ricky Starks vs Ari Daivari
Ricky kills Ari with a spear and a Ro Sham Beaux.
Winner: Ricky Starks

Tony is backstage with Britt and Jamie.
Britt says yes, speaking of big win, Steelers beat the Colts.
Jamie wonders why they don’t have a sit down with her, but have one with Saraya later tonight. Tony says ok, next week then.
Match 3: Anna Jay vs Willow Nightingale
Lockup! Willow with a tackle off the ropes. Willow rolls over, hits another shoulder, flexes on em. She grabs Anna, short clothesline. Another. Anna blocks a third, turns into a back suplex.

QT wants some mic time. He demands a title shot against Orange Cassidy. OC is bored with this, says ok, you got it. Lumberjack Match, sure. Let’s do it.
WE are back to the ring where Jade makes her entrance wearing…I must say…a hell of a fit.
Jade says we all know why she is here, but she must set the record straight. She made the baddies. She says who stays and goes. She got rid of the trash last week, so she is confused as to why these two girls were chillin with her. She looks to Leila and Red Velvet. She is done playing games. She got the title back for herself. Understand; to stand next to her is a blessing. SO either they get in line or they can step. They are eating off of her, this entire company is eating off of her. She is the brighteset. Stand her next to any wrestler and the regular consumer would say she is the star. No one has her body, her face, her aura. She puts asses in seats.
WE got some baddies in the crowd. Jade says she is the real deal, she makes careers. Speaking of careers – Lil Bow Wow is a joke.
Bow Wow is on the tron. He says Jade deserves all the flowers. Congrats on her win. He’s done with talk but that title she got…does something to him.
