Keep Refreshing For The Latest Results

It’s the last Monday of September, my birthday is coming up, and spooky season is upon us! The most wonderful time of the year! What scary movies are we watching!?!?!

Who knows…maybe I’ll take some time off to recalibrate.

It’s Monday…you know what that means.

We startin off with some hotness, as Bianca Belair’s music hits, and out she comes with Asuka and Alexa Bliss by her side.

We get a preview of the card tonight, and it’s lookin good. Bianca has a mic as we cover what happened last Monday in the main event.

Bianca speaks directly to Bayley, telling her she cant fight her battles alone. If Bayley wants her title at Extreme Rules, good luck because Bliss and Asuka will be by her side to make sure it stays one-on-one.

Bayley is out with her homies, saying this will never be about her vs Bayley. It’s bigger than that. Bianca has been groomed for this position; hand picked and trained. But them? They groomed themselves. Bayley trained herself, wanting to do this since she was 12. She said she was going to take over, and that’s what she’s doing. Yes, Bianca is thriving and accomplished a lot, but she was picked and placed and chosen.

Bianca: “Girl…uh uh.”

Bianca says nothing was handed to her. She’s been showing up and showing out while Bayley has been rehabbing. Bianca is sorry Bayley got injured, but not sorry that Bayley came back to her being champion, and she is not about to downplay her accomplishments to meet Bayley at her level.

Bayley says ten months ago, she wasn’t able to walk. She taught herself how to walk again, and run. And she pinned Bianca at Clash, so all she has accomplished is because Bayley was not here. She tells Bianca to fall in line like everyone else.

Bianca says Bayley was here when she main evented Mania. She remembers KODing Bayley on top of a ladder. She gets why Bayley came back with some friends. She cant do it alone.

Bayley does not want to talk about the past. She has a great idea, now. At Extreme Rules…she wants a ladder match.

Bianca is down, and wants some action against Iyo.

Iyo calls for a ref.

Looks like here we go.

Earlier today, Sami Zayn and Solo arrive in a suburban.

Match Time: 18:26

Dakota and Bayley check on Iyo as Bianca stands tall and proud.

It’s a shame we didn’t get to see Dakota hit the spinning over the head blockbuster double knee inside out smash to the back move that most definitely doesn’t have a name.

BACKSTAGE, Rey is with Patrick to talk about how Dom wanted to get hit in th face with the chair. Rey goes super sentimental and says there is nothing like the feeling of holding your newborn and envisioning the type of person they’ll become. He will always love his son, but he wont fight him under any circumstances. But last week, while holding the chair, he wondered what happened to the kid he raised. He knows deep down inside, that’s not his son, it’s Rhea manipulating his heart and mind. But tonight, he faces Rollins, so he is focused on that.

Miz is backstage with security that looks about as good as a comic-con in Ohio.

Seth has some mic time before his match, saying he should be US Champion, but there is only one reason why he is not. The entire world thinks the upcoming match is Riddle’s type of match. He has concluded that he is Seth Freakin Rollins, so it doenst matter what kind of match it is. He’s done it all and won em all.


Match 2: Seth Rollins vs Rey Mysterio

We come to the match already goin down and Rollins has a boot to the face of Rey. Seth is already bleeding, it appears, as Rey drove Seth face first into the steps.

Rey gets sent to the outside, and out comes Dom with a chair. He stares Seth down as a QR code shows up on the screen. Dom walks over to Seth, smiles at him, and stares down at his father with a chair in hand.

We come back to Dom chillin in a seat on the outside of the ring as Rollins attempts to hit the Three Amigos.

STOMP TO REY! Seth, instead of pinning, locks in a Peruvian Neck Tie! Rey is out and the ref calls it.

Before AJ can leave the ring, the music of Judgment Day comes on, and out comes the purple people eaters.
