Then. Now. Forever. Together!

We’re in Des Moines! NASCAR is in Iowa this week too, will we see some drivers tonight? I can hope! We look back at SummerSlam’s Night Two main event, where Roman Reigns beat Seth Rollins and they mentioned this other guy I’d never heard of. Bean Amberson, something like that.

We see Roman Reigns walk through backstage and then through the entranceway. The ones go to the sky! The ageless Lilian Garcia is ring announcing tonight, and Michael Cole & Corey Graves are our hosts. My Internet goes out at this point and now I’m a few minutes behind. After some crowd milking, Roman asks Iowa to acknowledge him. He’s the Tribal Chief and a man of his word, he calls his shot & delivers. He said he was going to win the Rumble and save this place, that’s what he’s done. He beat the old man at Mania and owned the whole summer. Last night he beat Seth Frickin’ Rollins. He knows in these parts it stings a little bit. He’s their boy and his brother, and they might have found some peace. He can only acknowledge so much, but he doesn’t mind if the fans do. They sing Seth’s song while Roman conducts.

LA Knight’s music hits! The Megastar makes his way to the ring fresh off of beating Roman’s Bloodline cohorts at SummerSlam. LA wants to talk to us, he congratulates Roman on winning at SummerSlam and still being World Champion. Congrats on doing it by his damn self, but he’s still a fraud. He’s been calling Roman’s name for months, and he puts the Bloodline between them. He beat all of them, so now he wants a shot. Last time they fought wasn’t a fair match, this time he wants what Seth got last night, no Bloodline BS. They can do it tonight, next week, Money in the Bank or even WrestleMania, the only answer that matters is YEAH.

Roman asks who LA’s talking to. He only sees one fraud. He doesn’t come out saying he’s a megastar and wear a Wal-Mart watch on his wrist. Roman shows off his watch. Roman points out that all he’s done is win a six-man tag team match. He hasn’t won a tournament or battle royal or any big match. You don’t get a title shot by bitching and moaning. LA can waste his cousins’ time, but not his, so go back to the back of the line. Roman begins to leave, but LA gets back on the microphone. LA says that Roman is so much cooler when he’s not standing right in front of him. He earned a shot when it took Roman and 38 people to beat him. All he’s done is use others to shield him from LA. LA says Roman sucks, he’s not on LA’s level. He’s everything you wished you could be but you couldn’t. When Roman can learn to grow a pair, LA will smack him back to factory settings. The uncrowned champion of the world says LA KNIGHT YEAH! LA exits the ring and Roman doesn’t look too happy.

Cole & Graves throw us to a video chronicling Oba Femi beating Brock Lesnar in Hell in a Cell on Sunday night.

Oba Femi is WALKING! Chad Gable is WALKING! Judgment Day is WALKING!

Je’Von Evans vs. Ethan Page: Evans is all hyped up. Headlock by Page, shoulderblock and some jumping jacks. Evans bounces through an armdrag and gets kicked in the midsection. Kick by Evans, then he bounces into a rana and dropkick. Page goes outside, and Evans dives out to follow him! High crossbody in the ring by Evans. Evans teases something on the ropes, but the pause leads to Page kicking Evans out of the ring and to a rare Raw picture in picture!

Page punches Evans around the ring, back inside and Page elbowblocks him down. Backbreaker by Page gets two. Page whips Evans hard into the corner. Evans fights back with some punches before Page hits him with a back suplex for two. Rear chinlock by Page, Evans tries to rise out of it a couple of times and finally does as we go back full screen.

Evans is sent back down and stomped on by Page. Page targets Evans’ back & kidneys. Page kicks and slaps at Evans, who gets mad and punches back. Page is sent into the corner and kicked in the spine. Springboard clothesline by Evans, who takes his shirt off & goes for the cutter, but Page knocks him off the ropes! A cobra clutch into a cradle suplex gets two for Page. Page goes for the Egoplex, Evans rolls him up for two and then presses him down. Page sent outside, he trips Evans and pulls him outside back-first into the announce desk. Evans responds by bouncing Page off the desk & ringpost, then clotheslining him over the barricade. Evans runs around ringside and dives over the barricade onto Page, but I think he got more of the barricade than Page. Back in the ring, Evans hits the Red Dot kick for two. Page breaks up the Cutter again and rolls him up with his feet on the ropes. The referee sees it, so it doesn’t count. Page hits the Confidence Breaker and a big powerslam, both get two. Page dumps Evans out and tries to expose the turnbuckle. The referee sees him and stops the tomfoolery, after some arguing Evans pops up, leapfrogs both Page & the referee before hitting the OG Cutter for three!

Winner: Je’Von Evans (12:36 via pinfall)

Big Cass is here! He hits Evans with a big boot! Big clothesline! Cass drags Evans around by his hair, then bear hugs him before suplexing him down. Cole says it’s the East River Crossing. Cass leaves while the referee checks on Evans.

Roman dresses down Jimmy, Jey & Jacob for losing tonight. These things don’t work when they lose! Solo should be doing his orders right now! LA Knight shouldn’t be talking shit to him. Why are Jacob & Royce Keys family? Royce isn’t family, he’s just one of the boys. Jimmy offers that they can get LA tonight, Roman says that they’ve had their chance. Leave that fool to him! Roman leaves and LA appears, having overheard the conversation. He makes fun of them since they can’t do anything about it and heads out of the building.

Jacob Fatu & Royce Keys chat. Royce tells him to think about all the times they’ve fought before. He still rolls with him and they’re family. Jacob says that Royce is just one of the boys, and he’ll take him on tonight in a street fight. Jacob bets he’ll dogwalk Royce’s ass.

The female members of Judgment Day make their way to the ring. We see clips of Liv Morgan beating IYO SKY at SummerSlam with some help from her friends. Liv doing the “all time” gimmick is bad enough, but I watched Collision the other night and heard two people saying the same thing. Every champion claiming that they’re the greatest champion of all time means that no one is the greatest champion of all time. I’m just saying. Liv says the fans can stay mad, but she’ll give IYO props since she was the only woman brave enough to challenge her. Liv sees no more challengers and says she’ll be the longest reigning so & so. Liv takes a moment to talk about her best friend & sister (lots of family talk so far on this show) Raquel Rodriguez. Roxanne will embarrass Sol Ruca and show why the Judgment Day runs Raw.

Roxanne Perez (w/Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez) vs. Sol Ruca: We join this match already in progress. Some of that chain wrestling going on, Roxanne reaches the ropes and goes outside to confer with her pals. Roxanne lands a forearm, then kicks Sol away. Back in the ring, Roxanne goes for a headscissors, Sol goes for a slam, then they exchange near-falls. Cartwheel into a kick by Roxanne. Roxanne beats & kicks Sol in the corner. Ruca catches a kick, trips Perez down and punches her on the mat. Sol whips Roxanne into the corner, then misses in the corner. Sol spins Roxanne around and drops her before slapping her. Dropkick from Sol gets two. Sol puts Roxanne in the surfboard! Roxanne slips out. Gets mule kicked by Sol after a cartwheel! Roxanne goes outside, and Sol follows her with a moonsault! Sol tries to cartwheel on the ropes and Roxanne makes her slip as we go to commercial.

Both women are down as we return. Strikes exchanged. Sol wins, hits some kicks and an elbowblock. Sol elbows Roxanne in the corner, then Germans her across the ring. Kip up! Running knee strike gets two for Ruca. Sol lifts Roxanne, Roxanne gets a rana for two, Sol rolls Roxanne up for two, Roxanne blocks the X-Factor and goes for Pop Rox, but the X-Factor hits this time. Sol knocks Raquel off the apron, then goes for the Sol Snatcher. Liv blocks that and the referee calls for the bell.

Winner: Sol Ruca (7:25 shown via disqualification)

Roxanne hits Pop Rox & Raquel hits the Tejana Bomb on Sol. Then…Becky Lynch’s music hits? Sure enough, the Man is in Iowa. She & Seth live there, right? I’m not up to date on these things. Becky says she already made the IC title famous, and her work there is done. She came for Liv to make sure it’s not another 100 days before defending the title again. All Liv has done is become a glorified valet. A women’s champion should be fighting, not just flirting. Liv has had the worst title reign of all time. It’s not just Becky, it’s everybody saying it! Things are about to get a whole lot worse for Liv. Liv suggests that Becky should be at home being a mommy to her daughter. Becky is in Liv’s face because she’s jealous of her. Becky’s time is over and Liv’s is now. She hits her catchphrase again and leaves the ring. Liv isn’t even the best women’s champion in her group, or the best women’s champion that’s slept with Dominik Mysterio.

Stephanie Vaquer’s music hits! Stephanie is back and dressed in black! Liv tries to run away, but Stephanie mounts and punches her. Raquel & Roxanne gets punched down. Liv gets put down and leaves the ring. Becky walks up to Stephanie, Stephanie tells Becky to stay out of her way. Becky asks “or what”, they stare and then exchange some words.

Cole & Graves throw us to a Brock Lesnar highlight video set to Godsmack’s “I Stand Alone”. They did this after WrestleMania too, right? I’m not complaining because I like the song. They added a part covering SummerSlam. Paul Heyman is shown after the video ends watching the television. Oba Femi appears and says he didn’t get to thank Brock in person, so he’ll ask Paul to do it for him. Paul says it would be a pleasure, and congratulates him. They shake hands. Oba walks off, we’ll hear from him next!

We see some SmackDown highlights from SummerSlam. Baron Corbin won the US Championship & Chelsea Green won the Interim WWE Women’s Championship. Good for them!

The lights dim and Oba Femi’s music hits!

Oba struts down to the ring dressed in white while the fans chant his name & bark. Oba says that words can’t even describe the things that transpired. He & Brock battled in Hell in a Cell and came out with newfound respect for one another. He thought that Brock knew that he was The One after WrestleMania. He thought Brock came back out of jealousy, but it was all a test. He needed to find out if he chose right. Oba Femi proved at SummerSlam that he could swim and hold his breath. He emerged victorious and passed the test, and now the beast can rest. Oba’s destiny is clearer than ever, but sometimes when the path is the clearest that he misses the path. Oba will forge his new way and lead a new generation and new crop of talent. The old gods will fall, and if anyone has a problem they will answer to him.

Cole & Graves talk while Oba exits the arena. When Oba poses, the Vision’s music hits. Bron Breakker stares Oba down while Austin Theory & Maxxine Dupri try to make their way to the ring. Bron seems locked in on Oba while Austin & Maxxine are locked in on each other. Bron will wrestle Joe Hendry next!

Bron Breakker (w/Austin Theory & Maxxine Dupri) vs. Joe Hendry: Bron keeps looking at the entranceway and ignores Hendry. Bron finally turns around and clotheslines Hendry down. Hendry rolls outside and Bron keeps looking at the entranceway. Austin tries to get Bron’s attention and gets sent into the ringpost. Bron tries the spear but Hendry leapfrogs it! Hendry sends Theory over the announce table. Hendry rolls into the ring and Bron spears him for the three count!

Winner: Bron Breakker (1:39 via pinfall)

Bron keeps that whole thirty-thousand yard stare thing going while leaving. Theory then attacks Hendry and punches him down in the corner. Tozawa appears and gets Theory off of Hendry. He ranas Theory over and boots him to the floor. Tozawa rips his Alpha Babe shirt off, probably about time he got rid of that.

JACKIE REDMOND welcomes Big Cass and asks her “why Je’Von?”. Cass takes the microphone since he’s a tall guy and Jackie can’t reach that high. It took him eight years to get back here. Evans was just in the way. He’s here to stack bodies. Evans will be the first and won’t be the last. Back in the old days I would make a sly reference to Cass & backstage interviewers, but I’m pretty sure we get sued for stuff like that now.

Jacob Fatu works out and gets ready for his street fight later tonight.

The Fact of the Night is Chad Gable winning the Intercontinental Championship from Penta last night. We see visual evidence supporting this fact, so I guess I can believe it. How come they didn’t include the awesome celebration with the root beer mascot?

Chad Gable makes his way out to the ring in his wrestling gear to do the clap and address his public. The fans say that he deserves it. Gable loves that energy. Last night was the greatest moment of his career. Everyone is saying that he deserves it. He tries to earn everything he gets, and he thanks everyone that says it to him. He thanks Penta for being a fighting champion and continuing to cement his legacy as potentially the greatest luchador in the history of the business. He thanks the fans for sticking with him for ten years. They stuck with him when he came close, when he was Shorty G, and when he promised he would overcome and become a singles champion. He tells his kids that when they make a promise they better bust their ass and make sure it comes true. He did the same at SummerSlam and is proud to be our Intercontinental Champion.

Penta’s music hits! Penta enters the ring and tells Chad that he deserves to be champion. Last night they stole the show, tonight he gives Chad some flowers. Chad has changed and now he has his respect. Chad is a true luchador and one of the best wrestlers in the world. The Judgment Day music hits and Dominik Mysterio & JD McDonagh comes out. JD doesn’t want to hear this soppy crap about Chad being a real luchador. Dom is the king of the luchadores, the AAA Mega Champion and the greatest Mysterio of all time. JD wants to know why these fans cheer for these guy. JD reminds Chad that he lost his mask to El Grande Americano, and asks Penta what that makes him. Dom says that Chad is keeping his title warm, they’re collecting all the gold and can end his journey at any time since they’re done playing around. Chad asks if he heard “any time”, and right here in Des Moines would be good! Dom accepts the challenge and Penta does the Zero Miedo deal. A referee is running down and we’ll have a match next!

Chad Gable & Penta vs. JD McDonagh & Dominik Mysterio: We join this match in progress, Gable & Dom are in the ring now and Gable hits a butterfly suplex for two. Overhead throw by Gable gets two. Gable dragon screws Dom out of the corner and tags Penta in. Penta does the handstand into the dropkick, then Gable throws Dom over into the corner. Penta kicks Dom down. JD knees Penta in the back and the Judgment Day take over. JD punches & kicks Penta in the corner. JD hits a vertical suplex for two. Penta kicks JD and hits a reverse slingblade. Dom tags in and they double team Penta in their corner. Penta gets the tag to Gable and he hits a double clothesline off the top. Superkicks send JD & Dom outside, and Penta hits a tope con hilo! Gable hits the Angle Slam on Dom for two. JD headbutts Chad on the floor and suplexes him down. We go to commercial!

JD slams Chad down and moonsaults him for two as we return. Gable hits a headbutt and both men are down. Dom & Penta tag in, Backbreaker to JD, and the Penta Driver gets two on Dom after JD breaks it up. Penta superkicks Dom in the corner. Chad tags in, moonsaults and catches Dom’ ankle for the anklelock! Dom keeps fighting it and Chad hangs on until JD hits a headbutt. Penta sends JD outside, kicks him and hits a Mexican Destroyer on the floor! Hopefully that’ll be the last of JD here. Dom gets the ringbell hammer and puts it in his boot! He goes for the 619, Chad catches it and pulls the hammer out! Penta hits Dom with the IC belt, and Gable hits Dom with the Chaos Theory for the three count!

Winner: Chad Gable & Penta (8:13 shown via pinfall)

Cole says Dom brought it on himself and Graves agrees. They throw us to a video recap od CM Punk beating Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam with help from Randy Orton.

Bron Breakker walks up to Paul Heyman. Bron says that Oba got in his way and he’s going to do something about it. Paul says he should, and he doesn’t know where Oba is. Bron thought that Oba was Paul’s new best friend. While all this was going on Adam Pearce was talking to Lyra Valkyria about something or other. They were pretty far in the background so it’s tough to tell.

Street Fight: Royce Keys vs. Jacob Fatu: Keys & Fatu trade shots right away. Keys drives Fatu into the corner and shoulderblocks him before getting elbowed. Fatu with some shots, he misses a splash in the corner and gets run over by Keys. Fatu hits a running elbow on Keys and then clotheslines him over the top. Fatu dives onto Keys and knocks him off the announce desk. Keys whips Fatu knee first into the ring steps, then looks under the ring. He starts to pull a table out, but Fatu smacks him and pushes the table back under the ring. Fatu bounces Keys’ head off the desk and the ringpost. Fatu tells Keys he has no choice but to do this. Fatu runs into a clothesline on the floor. Keys lifts Fatu and hits a running powerslam through the barricade as we get a pizza graphic! Keys gets a table and puts it in the ring as the pizza graphic goes away. Fatu drives Keys back first into the ringpost and tosses him over the announce desk. Fatu now looks under the ring and finds some chairs to throw in. He punches Royce a few times and throws some more chairs in the ring. Keys is back and he hits a flying clothesline on Fatu before sending him into the steps. Keys finds some more chairs to throw in. Fatu in the ring now, he knocks Keys to the floor and grabs a chair. Keys has a kendo stick and hits Fatu with it repeatedly. Keys props the table in the corner, Fatu gets control of the kendo stick and hits Keys with it. Fatu sets two chairs up and goes for the suplex, Keys ends up doing it through the chairs instead for two. Fatu hits the implant DDT on the chairs for two. Fatu throws some chairs on top of Keys. Fatu goes up top but Keys throws a chair off his head. Keys hits a powerslam off the second rope through the chairs for two! Fatu superkicks Keys and runs into a spinebuster! Keys puts his straps down and runs towards Fatu, who hits a pop up Samoan Drop through the table! Moonsault by Fatu, then a Tongan Death Grip! Keys passes out in the hold and the referee calls for the bell!

Winner: Jacob Fatu (13:17 via referee stoppage)

Fatu keeps the hold on while the bell keeps ringing and a horde of referees come out to finally break it up. After Llilian announces the winner, Jacob reapplies the death grip and reminds Royce he told him it was family business. Keys is bleeding from the mouth while Fatu hits the ass smash in the corner twice. Fatu wraps a chair around Keys’ neck and more officials come out. Adam Pearce tells him to calm down. Fatu appears to leave, then changes his mind and hits Keys again! Keys slumps over and the chair falls off of his head. Roman Reigns’ music hits! Roman stands in the entranceway and raises his one to the sky. Jacob does so as well as Keys coughs some blood into the camera.

Rey Mysterio is backstage to meet Roman. Rey, in his capacity as AAA General Manager, wants to run something by Roman. They walk off as our live event comes to an end. So long for now!
