Where the hell is Houston’s Restaurant? Thank goodness Michael Ornelas’s has nothing else to do and can inform us with his Fine Dining Podcast!
Y’all, it’s hot!
A nice recap of the dissolution of The Judgment Day.
We are LIVE and Rhea Ripley is here!
After a warm welcome, Rhea says she has had a lot of time to think about what happened at Summerslam. She has relived it every day since and felt every emotion possible. She felt embarrassed, heartbroken, but right now she is just feeling pissed the hell off. She addresses Dominik directly, saying he stabbed her in the back. Thing is, it just wasn’t deep enough. As for Liv, she cannot run forever.
Liv Morgan laughs somewhere in the background, and after some scanning, we see her and Dominik Mysterio in the crowd. Liv says hello as Rhea holds the ropes to welcome them into the ring. Liv says Dom has some things to get off his chest.
Dom tries to speak, but he gets shat on by the crowd. Rhea says don’t worry, she loves this, but she wants to hear him out. She loves hearing excuses. He says he finally got a girl that gives him tendies, lets him play video games, lets him be him. She also did something Rhea could never do – finally helped him beat his deadbeat dad.
Rhea says she’ll say something Dom has never heard – she is proud of him. Proud of all he’s accomplished the past few years. Watching him grow into the man he is is one of her biggest accomplishments. He finally did something for himself and won gold. They accomplished so much. The thing is, when it comes to Rey, Rhea really just wanted him to beat him on his own – to have no excuses.
He is making his own decisions, that’s great, but it will be the last one he makes.
Liv starts talking, saying there is only one thing she said that is true, and it’s that Dom is a man and he is all Liv’s. Rhea has nothing. Look at her. No family. No Dom. No title.The division is hers. Everything Rhea loved.
Rhea tells her that she is coming for it all, and nothing will stop her. It’s nice that Liv loves the sound of her own voice because they now always know where they are.
Liv is like huh?
Damien Priest shows up behind them!!!! Priest beats Dom’s ass all the way into the concessions area while Rhea makes her way up the steps and attacks Liv. Priest takes Dom down the steps towards the ring, chasing him down the steps. Right hand from Priest! Dom is in the ring, he tries to run out, hits Priest with a right hand. Priest with a GOOZLE!!!! But Carlito is here to attack! Priest sends him outside! Priest stands tall!

Backstage, Pearce is on the phone. In comes Drew McIntyre with a hello. Pearce says Punk isn’t here due to travel issues. Drew doesn’t care. He is wondering why Orton has a title shot. Oh, he was screwed a few months ago? Orton was waiting for the right moment, and he’s going to strike on his turf? He’s been screwed over and over. Drew says he will take care of this. Pearce says whoa, hold on. Drew says trust him. He is one of the veterans around here. Drew will be on his best behavior.

We get an empty arena interview with Pete Dunne and Jackie Redmond.
Pete is quick to explain that he was never under Sheamus’ wing. He never elevated him. Pete elevated Sheamus. Sheamus went on a run of a life time with him. What did this get him? A terrible nickname and a front row seat to The Shemaus Show. If they were really under his ring, what happened to Ridge? Where is he?
Jackie brings up “Butch,” and Pete says don’t say that name. He never wants to hear that again. He is not Butch, he is the Bruiserweight. He’s an 18 year vet, and if he’s gotta shut Sheamus up to never hear that name again, that’s what he’ll do.

Isla and Alba attack! They stand tall.
R-Truth is backstage with The Miz. He says he wanted to make it up to The Miz and got him a title match against Bron Breaker. We see the screen and it’s not Breakker, it’s Bronson Reed. Miz freaks out. Here comes Randy Orton to point out that Bron was the guy that killed Seth. He hypes Miz up, and Miz says he’s go this and leaves. Truth asks Orton if he thinks Miz has a chance, and Orton just walks away.
Randy Orton is here to talk to us. 20 years ago, he became the champion for the first time. He became the youngest champ in history 20 year ago. He says at The Bash, history will repeat itself when he becomes a 15 times World Heavyweight Champion.
Gunther is quick to interrupt. He is out lookin dapper with his title.
Orton wants us to take a picture of this moment because the title is coming home to him soon. Gunther agrees, we should take a picture. Orton is one of the greatest, and he will lose at The Bash. Gunther wants to be honest, Orton should be THE greatest of all time. The most natural and physically gifted talent this industry has ever seen. Unlimited potential, and he wasted it. Gunther calls this a new era, the era of The Ring General. In his era, there is no room for wasted potential. IN the future of his era, Orton will not play a role anymore.
Orton stops him, says he never claimed to be perfect. He is the most unpredictable WWE superstar of all time. He is not cursed, he’s gifted. He has done it his way the entire time, and he will always do it his way, the American way. He has 5 kids, a hot ass smokeshow of a wife, and the cherry on top is that he is a 14 – soon to be 15 time WWE World Champion. So, again, he appreciates Gunther’s opinion, bu he thinks he’s done pretty damned good for himself.
Gunther predicts that he will give Orton the beating of a lifetime. Because of this, Orton will never be champion again. If you wonder why he is so sure, let’s be honest – when it really matters, Orton always screws it up. It must come naturally, because his grandfather was a screw up, his father was a screw up, and Orton is the biggest screw up of them all.
This seems to tiger Orton, as he drops the mic and seethes at the mouth.
Drew McIntyre’s music hits and out he comes.
Gunther is distracted for a split second, and Orton hits him with an RKO OUTTA NOWHERE!!!
Drew removes his shirt, looking to possibly attack, but it’s CM Punk to attack from the crowd!!!!!! GLASGOW KISS TO PUNK!!! Drew removes his belt, looks to whip Punk! Punk dodges it and grabs the belt. He whips Drew across te back, another to the gut. Into the ring and Punk hits him in the chest then slaps him with the belt a few more times, chasing him out of he ring then into the crowd with some belt shots.
CM Punk is walking backstage looking for Drew. He sees Gunther walk by pissed off. He is stopped by Cathy, who says she was on the same flight as Punk so there was no travel issues. Punk says it was a lie, he wanted to get his hands on Drew. The bracelet, the names on the bracelet are what matters. He can keep the bracelet, but Drew is not allowed to speak his wife’s name, his dog’s name, without the repurcussions. This will not stop till he gets his hands on Drew. He’ll call Punk a hypocrite, but this is a man who says he hates his guts but wants to stay attached, yet runs from a fight. Punk is glad he is here, and he thinks he just figured out a way to make everyone happy…
The Miz vs Bronson Reed
Miz tries to start first with some kicks and rope work that results in him running into a brick wall that is Bronson Reed. Elbow drope from Reed. He hits the ropes and just rolls onto and through him.
We come back and Miz is flying off the apron onto Reed.

Miz sends Reed to the corner, hits a clothesline!
Springboard into a crossbody, but Reed catches and sends him to the shoulders! DVD!! Reed to the top rope, and the crowd is fucking HYPED! TSUNAMI!!! COVER!!! 1..2..3!!!

Winner: Bron Breakker
Ok, that ending was just a tad bit laughable. I don’t recall any move that Sami does that would look like that, with him just flying into a prone position for no good reason. Everything before that was good , and we continue to make Bron look great.
