I talk about a LOT of stuff-sports, politics, current events, etc. And I have a zero tolerance policy for ****ty people. Try me if you think I'm joking. ESPECIALLY if you send me a DM without asking. #BlueIsTheWay #WelcomeToTheRebellion
Paul isn't saying ANYTHING about the Oba/Bron match, except that both need to win and neither can afford to lose. #WWERaw
Cathy's talking to The Man about Stephanie, who wants to know why she helped her out last week. She adds that she does not need her help. "I don't owe you anything." Becky: You DO owe me something. Stephanie: That title belongs to ME. #WWERaw
Hendry with the delayed vertical suplex on McDonagh. Dom with a suplex for a 2. LOVE Wade referring to Dom as "Latino Cheat". Joe with a DOUBLE SLAM of Dom & JD! THEN flies over the rope to take them out AGAIN! Seconds later, Dom with the frog splash to win it for his team. #WWERaw
Spinning kick from Evans, then a springboard crossbody. JD gets plugged by Je'Von...and then JD gets involved one too many times and wipes out Je'Von leading to the match being tossed. BUT SOMEONE SAID HIS NAME! Adam restarts it as a tag match! #WWERaw
Dom attacks Je'Von before the bell, but Evans recovers nicely. JD DISTRACTS and that allows Dom to get the upper hand but only earns a 1. Evans takes flight over the top rope and later gets a 2. JD then gets an attack in that allows Dom to get a 2. #WWERaw
Dominik Mystero heads to the ring to face Je'Von Evans. Well, Cleveland's about to get BOUNCY! #WWERaw
"I didn't understand that OTC stood for One Tremendous Coward. While you're rethinking things it's time to call you out!" But backstage, Jacob is gloating over attacking Solo. LA arrives, but Roman hits a Superman punch from behind....then another Lola Vice vignette. #WWERaw
"You will serve this family and legacy...and you let that slip for LA Knight? I get that, but he's not family. So let's talk about..." Well, YEAR! He wants to talk to ya! "You've been recycling stuff from 3 YEARS ago. You're referencing The Rock. My man, you're doing things the WRONG way." #WWERaw
Roman's now here and he has the mic. "Being the only champ that matters is a burden. EVERYONE wants what I have. I should be celebrating, and talking about Rey & Penta and showing them respect because they're doing likewise. No more whining about this title. And that brings me to Solo." #WWERaw
Roman is here! And he spots Jacob, who briefs him on what happened at the outset. "Jacob, Royce is YOUR problem. Handle him. Everything else, leave to me." #WWERaw
The ref notices Ethan's exposes turnbuckle...and seconds later, Lee hits Operation Dragon for the W and he'll face Chad for the IC belt in 2 weeks. #WWERaw
Ethan has the early edge, but Dragon with the wrecking ball dropkick in the corner for a 2. Next up: Air Dragon takes flight to take out Ethan on the floor. 2 count for Dragon minutes later after some back & forth. Knee strike from Dragon ON THE APRON! ETHAN TO THE DESK! BUT NOT TWICE! #WWERaw
Dragon: You have a big mouth but you say very little. Why not show your skills to Cleveland TONIGHT? Chad: That sounds like a good match to get done NOW. How about whoever wins faces me in Mexico City? They agree. #WWERaw
And no, it's not Ethan Page. "I see what's going on here. Fighting champ gives a title shot to an untitled luchador. You want a challenge, fight me." Chad: You're going to get a shot, but you're on the list....right below Honky Tonk Man. Ethan: Stop being a charity case, Chad. #WWERaw
"We're coming to Mexico City for the first time in 15 years. And I'll defend this belt then. Dragon Lee, come on down!" And so he does. "That match with Rey, brother, was awe-inspiring." Dragon: It's my honor to step in the ring with you. Chad: Adam let me determine who I'd wrestle. #WWEraw
Chad Gable heads to the ring. "Thank you for that welcome. When I won the IC title, I thought I had made it but I don't feel like that. NOW the work begins to define my legacy. I started it with that match with Rey a few weeks ago. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the AAA fans in Mexico." #WWERaw
Lyra comes in and DISTRACTS! Sol from going for a Sol Snatcher...that allows Raquel to hit the Tejana Bomb for the win; she retains. Lyra stands there, pleased with her work. #WWERaw
Springboard crossbody from Sol and she gets a 2...then a modified tarantula. Seconds later, Raquel with a crossbody on the floor. Running know from Sol out of the corner earns a 2. Sol flips over the ropes and powerbombs Raquel the second time she tries it. #WWERaw
Before the match even starts, Jacob heads to the ring and tells Royce and his team that he's going to dog walk all of them(and yes, they censored THAT word). Raquel gets right into the attack, but minutes later Sol uses acrobatics to fly over the ropes to take out Raquel. #WWERaw
Coming to you from an undisclosed location, it's #WWERaw ! We begin with Royce Keys and OTM laying waste to the Usos...but here comes Jacob Fatu! Joe & Wade are at the desk. They censor Jey bleeding. But we get the ball rolling with Sol Ruca challenging fRaquel Rodriguez for the women's IC title.
SO LONG SCREWIE! See you in St. Louis! (All hail the Cardinals & Sty. Louis City SC!) Raise your shield! Roll the credits! We have to go! Everyone raised enough havoc for one week! Three, even! #Svengoolie #ForTheLou #AllForCITY
That's all for #WWENXT. #NXTHeatwave is on Sunday afternoon. The fallout in 7. We are OUT!
Grayson says he'll conquer his demons. Tony: I don't give a damn if this is Grayson 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0. You'll do what you've always done...be a disappointment. Cruz: I know #WWENXT was dysfunctional....but now that I'm here...I LIKE it. I came here to throw.
Kendal seems to be calling out Liv for lacking in defending her title. Kelani runs smack on them....as does Zaria. Kali: Last I remember, I BEAT both of you. Now we get Grayson Waller. "Ladies....great to look at, hard to listen to you. You USED to be the highlight until I returned." #WWENXT
Reverse roundhouse kick from Fenix....but EK is still plugging away. Goodbye Amigo from Fenix, then a crossbody for a 2. Fenix wins with a Mexican Muscle Buster. #WWENXT
EK with a reverse moonsault onto Rey, who's on the floor, as we go to break. #WWENXT
And as you could guess, the crowd chants ONE FALL! before Mike Rome does the ring intros. #WWENXT
In order: Robert Stone tells one of the refs to be on guard during the summit...asks Keanu "what's up with THAT?" re his match...and puts Shiloh into a match with Naraku next week. EK Prosper faces Rey Fenix for the AAA Cruiserweight title NEXT! #WWENXT
