It’s Monday…you know what that means

As a reminder, the GoFundMe for Larry’s daughters is still active and if you can make a donation, that would be awesome. Thank you so much to everyone who’s done so thus far.

We start with Logan Paul coming down while the replays play of the events leading up to tonight. He calls the crowd brain dead and says he isn’t there for him, he’s there for Ricochet. Last week, he attempted to introduce Ricochet to his audience, who is nothing like this Texas crowd. All he wanted to do was showcase Ricochet’s amazing athleticism and build some hype around SUmmerslam. But he was sneak attacked, victimized, and abused, and while he was down, Ricochet made a spectacle out of the whole thing. So this Saturday, forget about a fight, because he will beat Ricochet in the most viral match in history.

Here comes Ricochet! He asks Logan what’s goin on? Last week, he was in Logan’s livestream, but this week he’s in Logan’s head. They’ve seen this all before, Logan spinning the story. Logan is not the good guy here. He gets the hometown pop. He did say one correct thing, though – their match will be all time. But before that happens, he wants to tell Logan there is a part of him he respects.

Logan says they think alike. This started at the Rumble, when Logan made them go viral.

Logan extends a hand, Ricochet shakes it, and Logan says after the match, the ring announcer will announce him the winner, and that announcer – Ricochet’s fiancé – Ricochet’s girl saying….”And the winner is…Logan Paul.”

Ricochet shoots the legs and attacks with a mount. Logan is up, hits a takeown. Ricochet with a kick, another kick, Logan tries for a clothesline but Ricochet springs back, back up, runs up the body of Logan, Enziguri, to the apron, springboard, and Logan hits him with a sloppy right hand.

Ricochet is out.

That was sloppy but harmless. Match should be fun.

Backstage, Shinsuke Nakamura is elbowing his hand. In comes Tomasso Ciampa to tell him that he is ready to fix this issue. He is ready to fight the entire world. He will beat Shin tonight, then win the Summerslam Battle Royal. Shin tells him the same.

The Judgment Day are in the ring. Damien Priest starts us off by asking us to rise. Rhea Ripley gets some heat when she’s on the mic. Then a Mami chant. She wonders who will stop them. Priest wants to run through a short list of heroes: Kevin Owens. Gone. Sami Zayn. Nope. Seth Rollins. Impossible after the epic beating last week. Liv Morgan. Nobody can stop them. If Sami and Seth decide to show up, He and Dom will make sure they don’t leave the arena whole.

Finn Balor says Seth comes out weekly, acting all insane. It’s an act. He is not insane. Insanity is waking up daily for the last seven years and seein the scars that Seth caused. The career Seth ruined and spoiled. Come Summerslam, he cant erase scars, but he will inflict some. He hopes Saturday causes Seth real insanity.

Dominik Mysterio tries to talk, saying all of JD will have the goodies. He takes a beat, tries to talk again, but to no avail.

Rhea says he’ll bring some pride to the Mysterio name. For anyone who wants to get in their way, run like Raquel Rodriguez, otherwise they’ll be in rehab just like Liv and Kevin Owens.

Here comes RAQUEL RODRIGUEZ! and she means bidness. She heads straight for the ring, slides in, Rhea is waiting, and they meet in the middle. Raquel tosses her in the corner, hits a right, a few more, Rhea fighs back, but Raquel sends her flying by the hair. Clothesline sends Rhea to the outside. Raquel follows, sends Rhea into the barricade back first. Raquel sends Rhea into the post. Another toss into the barricade. Rhea finally attacks the knee and agents come out to stop the onslaught.

Video package for Ronda and Shayna.

We are back, and The Alpha Academy are celebrating.

Here comes Imperium to clown them. Gunther tells Chad Gable he’s not worth their time. Ludwig says Gable couldn’t last five minutes. Gunther thinks this is a good idea, put the clock on the wall. Gable says he’ll last five hours if he wants to. If Gunther wants Gable, leave his crew in the back, and he’ll do the same.

Tommaso Ciampa vs Shinsuke Nakamura

They start slow until Shin goads Ciampa into action. Shin corners him and puts a boot to the chin. Right hand, chop, backbreaker to Shin. Ciampa with a running kick. Boot to the head, again, another, another, Chop to Shin. Another. Whip to the corner, reversed, Ciampa hops up, Shin catches him and hits a knee. Kick to the back. Shinsuke on the apron, grabs the head, chop from Ciampa, so Shin kicks him in the chest. Another kick, another, Ciampa is seated until the final kick sends him down outside. Shin grabs him and sends him back in the ring, then blows a kiss to Graves. Ciampa hits a knee to Shin on the apron! He drapes Shinsuke over the barricade and hits a running knee.

My feed goes out for a bit and we are back to Ciampa sitting Shinsuke on the top rope. A bi chop to Shin is followed by Ciampa hopping up and getting punche for it. Shinsuke flies roll through, big kick to the back of the head from Shin. He lays Ciampa on the ropes and runs with a knee. Cover for 1..2.NO!!! Shin hits the ropes, big knee from Ciampa! Right hand! Knee from Shin.

Roll into a pin from Shin. He might have the tights. 1..2…3!!!

Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura
I missed a chunk here, but it wasn’t as action packed as either of their matches with Bronson, so it might be time to wrap this one up.

The fve minute thing was completely unnecessary and “him making the challenge” doesn’t mean he gets to change the rules. Just a weird way to go about a match that, without the pause would have been great. Was still pretty good, tho.
