It’s Monday…you know what that means

The Judgment Day is here! Damien Priest wants us to all rise. Finn Balor congratulates The Creed Brothers. They earned their shot. The biggest match of their careers. The biggest night of their lives. For them, though, it’s just another night at the office, because they are stepping in the ring with the only two-time undisputed champs. Rhea Ripley says they ran 2023, and they will run 2024. Dominik Mysterio tries to talk, but the crowd hates him. R-Truth’s music hits, says they left him, he didn’t know they were opening the show up. He does it his own special way, but JD McDonagh asks what he’s doing here.

Truth says he’s in Judgment Day now, dawg. He was initiated last week. He aint one to complain, but they kind of crossed the line a little bit. A lot of those licks hurt. Physically and emotionally. He tells DP he knows he didn’t mean it when he said he didn’t like Truth. He saw it in his eyes. This breaks Priest. Lol.

JD tells Truth to get out of the ring if getting hurt is what he’s worried about. Truth says it looks like everyone is looking for a fight. Rhea wants to beat up Ivy, Finn and DP wanna beat up on The Creed Brothers. He needs somebody to beat up on.

He stares at JD. JD doesn’t back down. JD gets his first chant ever. Truth says he sees all the trees and lights. There is a lot of animosity between him and JD, so let’s squash the beef so they can all be a happy family. But let’s do a Miracle on 34th Street Match.

JD says that match was already scheduled, it’s already happening. Truth says they better go now, because 34th Street is a long ways from here.

He asks Siri for directions. JD tells him he is not in Judgment Day. Truth says this match is a Loser Leaves Judgment Day Match. Lol.

JD says absolutely not, but Priest is about to interject. Rhea stops him, Priest says it’s a good idea. JD says he’ll need a Miracle to beat him tonight.

Nia Jax is here, and thankfully, before she can say a single word, Becky Lynch comes out with her hand held high. Nia leaves the ring as becky leaves. Becky wonders where she’s going. She knows Nia has something to say, so let’s get to it.

Nia says as much as she’d love to break becky’s face again, she has more important matters – she is entering the Rumble. Becky says we don’t care, this is true. Becky says she came here looking for a fight. Nia says they have never fought because we are afraid of what she would do to Becky. Let’s face it, Becky is the money maker of the company, and if they went one-on-one, that would end. Becky is the size of Nia’s leg.

Becky says she is the money maker because she will fight anyone, any time, anyhere. It’s not us preventing this, it’s Nia. Nia’s entire existence has been on the back of someone’s name – first her cousin’s, now it’ Becky. Her only claim to fame is that she broke the nose of the greatest to ever do it. Prove her wrong, face her right here and now.

Nia demands a ref, says let’s do this. A ref comes running out, Nia walks down the ramp, ready, then does the ol bait and switch. Seeing how badly Becky wants it, she’s not going to get it. This will happen on her terms. It’ll happen in San Diego, her hometown. Day One.

Seth Rollins is here and he is home!

He says he is feeling more motivated than ever after last week. Wait till you see what he does in 2024. That starts with Day One, when he defends his title against Drew McIntyre.

This brings out the big Scot. Seth removes his jacket to reveal an even more ridiculous shirt. Drew McIntyre circles him. Seth tells him that he hasn’t forgotten the headbutt from a few weeks ago, so tread lightly.

Drew tells him he is not here to fight. He has the match set. He’s here to tell Seth he is proud of ihm, though. There are so many people kissin arse when it comes to CM Punk, but not Seth. He told Punk the truth, how it needed to be said, and that’s a real leader. Drew says it probably feels really good, Seth being at home. He recalls going home not long ago. He started to feel guilt, see his family members getting older, his pops getting older and after 16 years, he questioned for the first time ever if it was all worth it. He thinks Seth can relate. There is someone he shares his life with, his wife is in the same position he is, all the way across the world sacrificing the time with her family. Seth has been part of those convos, like missing weddings, not letting fans down, missing funerals. His mom, her dad, Drew wanting to be there, but they say don’t you dare come home, keep chasing the dream – then certainly they aren’t here anymore. He’s gotta know the hurt he has caused his family wasn’t for nothing, and he is willing to hurt Seth for everything. He’ll do whatever it takes to get the title at Day One.

Seth says here’s the thing, we don’t really know how to feel about Drew. He wants to believe Drew, but as of late, Drew’s actions and words don’t line up, so he doesn’t know whether to believe or call Drew out on his crap. He will say this, though. He respects Drew. He found a way back, worked his way into another chance, and he’s done it. He wants to know, though, as much as Drew needs this, what makes him think the outcome will be any different. He’s not the same person? Does this mean he’s willing to cheat? To hurt people? To take shortcuts? The only person stopping Drew from being a champ is Drew. He is looking Drew in his eyes this week and he will tell him, he pities Drew. Merry Christmas, Drew.

Seth leaves the ing, and of course, Drew tries to attack. Seth with a Superkick! Seth hits the ropes, suicide dive to Drew! He mounts Drew and beats him down a bit but Drew shoots him into the barricade. Seth’s head hits the screen. Drew grabs Seth and beats him down across the barricade. Drew screams that he doesn’t look like a man that needs Seth’s pity. Drew grabs Seth by the legs and hits an Alabama Slam onto the steps! Ouch, that looked painful.
