Hears “Obsession” by Animotion playing in the distance

Do you hear that? That sound means that we have a certain Saturday event upon us. More to the point, we will have ourselves a Saturday Night Main Event!

Tonight’s show is all about titles, title contention, and revenge, as we have an, as of this moment, four match offering from the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada!

…Okay, so it doesn’t hit the same way as Lance Storm saying Calgary…Alberta…CANADA! But, somehow, it works!

The WWE Women’s World Tag Team Titles will be defended tonight, as Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky, otherwise known lovingly as RHIYO, will face the Judgement Day’s Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez. We’ll find out who is the new #1 contender for the WWE Undisputed Title and its brand new and fully deserving Drew McIntyre. In one corner, we’ll have The Viper, Randy Orton! In another corner, we will have The Archer of Infamy, Damian Priest! In another corner, let’s talk about the future of WWE in Trick Williams (and we really need Booker T just for his entrance)! And in the fourth corner, we have the hometown kid in Sami Zayn!

Elsewhere on the card, Cody Rhodes will be looking for revenge on Jacob Fatu after he cost him his second WWE Undisputed Title reign. And in a match that I am looking forward to, we’ll see AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura perhaps for the last time in their respective careers. Granted, we shouldn’t expect New Japan level work, but I have high hopes, nonetheless.

So, how is everyone on this S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night? I’m full of false hope, perhaps false or otherwise, after the Flyers handled the Avalanche in Denver. Just as much so after the Pacers shocked the Thunder in OKC. Now, if only the Eagles were shite and the Phillies weren’t offseason losers.

But enough about me and enough about you, let’s get ready for this Main Event on Saturday Night!

Then!

NOW!

FOREVER!

TOGETHER!

Tonight, we are LIVE from the Centre Bell in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, home of the NHL’s Montreal Canadiens. The voice of the WWE, Michael Cole, and the man who brings us some BAD NEWS, Wade Barrett, will be calling the action tonight!

Stephanie McMahon is happy to be our host tonight. Unfortunately, Joe Tessitore is stuck in an airport, as the US is facing some of its worst weather in decades. But here in Montreal, it’s minus-7 degrees! She takes a page from her husband’s playbook and asks ARE WE READY.

Cut to May 11th, 1985, when SNME first became a thing. And a cut to the here and now, as we get a look at the matches we will be seeing tonight. We see wrestlers walking, texting, and meeting up in lieu of their matches tonight. I want to shutout Damian Priest for wearing a Type O Negative shirt.

Jacob Fatu is walking in the back hallway. He says even on his worst day, he still brings it. Cody Rhodes, I am going to kick your ass! From EBT to WWE!

Welp, that answers my question lol.

Jacob Fatu vs. Cody Rhodes

Fatu attacks Rhodes as soon as he enters the ring. Rhodes knocks down Little Naitch! Refs are here to check on him as Rhodes and Fatu keep fighting. Cody sends Jacob from the ring, but Rhodes attempt to fly ends up with a punch to the face. Security is here now, and as in every other company, they are utterly useless. Fatu knocks out some of them, jumps to the top, and hits a Senton onto the rest of the pile on the floor.

Fatu starts walking up the ramp, being ushered away by refs, but Rhodes is back and he brings Fatu down to the ring. Rhodes clotheslines Fatu out the other side of the ring. Rhodes takes off and hits the suicide dive, knocking Fatu up and over the announce table. Jamie Noble is here as he tries to talk Rhodes down, but Cody clotheslines Fatu into the crowd. More security and officials try to keep the men apart, but this is a losing battle. Rhodes shoves a WM barrel into Fatu to slow him down. Fatu comes back with a back body drop, causing Rhodes to go splat on the ground. Fatu stomps on Rhodes and shoves some more security away, but like the Terminator, Rhodes has risen!

Rhodes slams Fatu into the cable box as the fans chant THIS IS AWESOME. I’m guessing the people trying to keep them apart don’t agree lol. Rhodes brings Fatu up the steps, but Fatu slams Rhodes into the way. Both men are in the annex. Rhodes grabs a trash can and hits anyone that is in his way without prejudice. Fatu knocks down Cody and then proceeds to chokeslam one of the Security dorks through a merchandise table! Rhodes throws a beer in Fatu’s face and then he slams Jacob’s face on the counter as the employee’s corpse.

Back down the steps we come, as the fans chant CODY RHODES. It looks like Nick Aldis is here as he follows everyone down the steps and back to the lower bowl. Rhodes and Fatu take turns knocking out security before they go back to fighting each other. Drew McIntyre is here! He throws Fatu through a table! He hits Rhodes in the dick and he powerbombs him through another table! See, you don’t need security, officials, Noble, or Aldis, just bring out the Scottish Psycho!

Drew makes his way back to ring side and he enters the ring. Cole wants to know what he is doing, and Barrett tells him to be quiet lol.

COMMERCIALS!

Apparently, WWE2k6 will have a Monday Night Wars mode. I contend that Wrestling Bios (who is also a fellow Ryan) did it better. Hands down.

In the back, McIntyre grabs his title and walks in the hallway. Cathy Kelley stops him in the back and says what he did deserves an explanation. Drew says you want to step to him and run your mouth, that’s what will happen to you. Now, MOVE!

From an angry man to Rhea BLOODY Ripley and my future Ex-Wife Iyo!

Vaquer takes Raquel over the barricade, and she dives over it and wipes her out on the floor!

In the ring, Perez covers Sky, but she only gets a two. Morgan screams for the pin, which she gets, but she doesn’t realize that Ripley got the blind tag! Morgan hits Oblivion on Sky, but Ripley with a running knee strike to Morgan! A Riptide and a high stack from Rhea and the champs retain!
WINNERS: Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky (Still Champions)
TIME: 13:15
THOUGHTS: Not surprised that this match was great. They even incorporated Rodriguez as a means to bring Vaquer back to even the odds. Anytime Iyo Sky wins, I am happy!

We head back to Stephanie McMahon. She runs down what has happened so far tonight and lets us know that it is now time for the main event. She says someone came home to a hero’s welcome, and we see Sami Zayn meeting fans outside in the frigid Montreal night. Stephanie that match starts right now, but it appears that is factually in accurate.

COMMERCIALS!
