  1. Don't forget our survey!!! 2k23 (allcounted.com) A video recap of last week is shown with Adam Pearce announcing his plan for the new WWE Tag Team Championship culminating at New Years Revolution. It ends with Pearce informing Paul Heyman that at NYR Roman Reigns will defend his title against Keith Lee. DECEMBER WEEK 4 COW PALACE SAN FRANCISCO, CA The Brand opens the show, coming down to the ring. McAfee brags on United States Champion Logan Paul, who he claims John Cena is afraid to face, as heard on the world renowned Pat McAfee Show. He then turns his attention to Austin Theory and Grayson Waller who in just 2 weeks will be the new WWE Tag Team Champions. Tonight they have all respect for Pretty Deadly, they’re a hell of a team, but the Brand….is the Brand. As for the other bums, well, they’re lucky to be in the match. DREW GULAK VS SOLO SIKOA Solo is in a bad mood and poor Gulak pays the price. Drew tries to actually wrestle Sikoa but that doesn’t last long as Solo makes him pay with numerous power moves. Working like a smaller Umaga, Solo flies around the ring, even hitting a diving headbutt off the second rope. Match comes to an end after a Samoan Spike. RESULT: SOLO SIKOA WINS BY PINFALL Adam Pearce is in his office when Keith Lee enters. They shake hands and Lee just wanted to thank Pearce for the opportunity next week. Pearce says he can’t wait for the match but he tells Lee that he doesn’t want the Bloodline ruining it, so Lee ought to leave the arena. Lee smiles but shakes his head. He says that if they want to find him, he’s hard to miss, before leaving the room. In their dressing room, Elton Prince and Kit Wilson are psyching themselves up for their match tonight. They’re extremely confident that they will win because really, who is more beautiful than them? R-TRUTH VS KARRION KROSS W/SCARLETT Truth is a very entertaining person. That does him zero good against a maniacal Kross who brutalizes him for several minutes, hitting his trifecta of the elbow smash, Saito suplex, and finally locks on the Kross Jacket for the win. RESULT: KARRION KROSS WINS BY SUBMISSION Kross and Scarlett are about to walk out of the ring when…. LA Knight walks out from the back, mic in hand. He runs them down as the Addams Family on Wish. Knight says he isn’t in the mood to play cards. He doesn’t like Go Fish, he doesn’t like Old Maid, he doesn’t like blackjack, though he may make an exception for strip poker if Scarlett is in the mood. Kross is incensed as Knight continues. He says it’s good that Kross looks pissed off because Knight is pissed off and maybe if Kross plays his…cards right….they’ll come face to face in the Royal Rumble and then everyone will let Karrion know who’s game it is….L…A….Knight, YEAH! Charlotte Flair is backstage and when the camera pans a little to the right she’s standing face to face with Cora Jade. Jade asks Charlotte if she’s a fighting champion or if she’s afraid, which Charlotte laughs off. She says in many ways she respects Cora for the challenge because not many people would do that after they were utterly embarrassed at Survivor Series. Cora is not in a mood to be lectured and raises her voice asking if it’s a yes or a no. Charlotte leans in, with a grin and says it’s a yes. Cora returns the grin, thanking the champ before he headbutts her in the face. Charlotte is stunned and Cora takes advantage going on the attack, hitting Charlotte with everything she can get her hands on. Charlotte looks dazed as Cora locks on a crossface on the floor. Charlotte is locked in and as officials rush in, Cora won’t give it up until Charlotte taps. As Cora gets up and backs off with her hands up she tells Charlotte next week is the beginning of the Generation of Jade! Bayley is in a great mood as she runs up to Naomi and Tamina who were talking quietly. They look a little annoyed at her arrival but she doesn’t recognize it. She tells them it will be her pleasure to end what they began on Superstars when she finishes what’s left of Zelina Vega. Naomi tells her that’s good and they wish her well. Bayley holds up a finger and after glancing at each other, Naomi and Tamina do the same. When Bayley leaves Naomi can only say, “What. The. …....” before we go to commercial. BAYLEY VS ZELINA VEGA Bayley picks the bones of a still hurt Zelina but her overconfidence is her undoing. When Bayley misses a running elbow drop, Zelina fires back and puts Bayley on her heels. Bayley tries to hit a Rose Plant but Zelina reverses it into a belly to back suplex, followed by a springboard moonsault for the win. RESULT: ZELINA VEGA WINS BY PINFALL Zelina can’t even take a moment to celebrate before Naomi and Tamina hit the ring. Soon, Bayley is joining in, but the crowd pops a moment later….. Iyo Sky and Michin run down to the ring and now it’s three on three. Naomi and the Bloodline are sent from the ring and this looks far from finished. Ilja Dragunov and Pete Dunne are in their locker room. There isn’t any talking or boasting. They’re silent, but exchange a few glances. They look ready to go. THE STREET PROFITS VS AOP W/WILLIAM REGAL The Street Profits look like they have something to prove after being left out of the qualifiers and early on it works as they use quick tags to keep Rezar on the defense, something he’s not used to. That works until Rezar ducks a double team and floors both Ford and Dawkins with a double clothesline. Akam gets the tag and that is when the wheels come off. With Regal giving commands from the outside, AOP begin to decimate the Profits. When they hit the Last Chapter on Dawkins, Regal orders them to do it again. After the second, he allows them to end the match. RESULT: AOP WIN BY PINFALL Michael Cole and Wade Barrett explain how we go to this new WWE Tag Team Championship and how these teams made it through the qualifiers. The main event is next! PRETTY DEADLY VS PETE DUNNE AND ILJA DRAGUNOV VS AUSTIN THEORY AND GRAYSON WALLER The match has one man of each team legal and there is an early alliance between Pretty Deadly and the Brand. Dunne and Dragunov pay the price for that but eventually the Brand are the ones to turn on their newfound friends. Their backstabbing does nothing but allow Dunne and Dragunov to recover. When they hit the ring they begin beating the hell out of all four opponents. As Ilja hits a series of snap suplexes, Dunny has Prince in the corner, virtually tearing his fingers apart with joint manipulation. Waller goes to the top but Dragunov crotches him and hits a big superplex. Dunne tags in and hits a package driver but Theory breaks it up. Meanwhile, Pretty Deadly have climbed to opposite corners and hit a double fist drop on Waller. Prince makes the cover, but Dunne kicks him squarely in the head, then throws him into the corner. Dunne tags his partner in and whips Prince to the ropes right into a Torpedo Moscow that gets the win. RESULT: PETE DUNNE AND ILJA DRAGUNOV WIN BY PINFALL Dragunov and Dunne have done it! The Usos come out from the back and the show ends with both teams in a staredown. Next week…New Years Revolution. We’ll have new tag champions….but who will it be?
  2. Who Will It Be? Following a series of qualifiers last week, we have a triple threat main event to decide who will face the Usos at New Years Revolution for the new WWE Tag Team Championship. While Pretty Deadly have the long-time chemistry and Theory and Waller have the Brand to fall back on, Ilja Dragunov and Pete Dunne have only themselves to rely on. Which of these teams will move on and will the Usos play a role in that decision? Cora Jade challenged WWE Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair to a submission match for the title next week. Charlotte promised on Superstars to give an answer. Will the Queen say yes, or will she leave Jade in her rearview mirror? Managing Director Adam Pearce told Paul Heyman last week that Roman Reigns will defend his WWE Undisputed Universal Championship next week against Keith Lee. Heyman has let it be known he and the champion will be absent this week while Reigns trains, but do the Bloodline have a plan to deal with Lee before the match ever happens? All this and more, this Friday Night*, LIVE on Fox! *Show will be posted this Wednesday!
  3. Don't forget our survey!!! 2k23 (allcounted.com) DECEMBER WEEK 4 OREGON CONVENTION CENTER PORTLAND, OR Becky Lynch arrives at the arena. She looks to the cameraman who’s running to meet her. She says Rhea tried her best to get into her head but it didn’t work. She’s trying to divide and conquer because she knows that when her enemies are united she’s a lifetime away from this title. Tonight she’ll meet her challenger face to face. As respected competitors, not enemies. Sorry Rhea. A spotlight video of Zoey Stark is shown. CORA JADE VS GIGI DOLIN Jade loves to deal out punishment and Dolin seems intent on taking it, refusing to stay down, and even begging for more with a wild look in her eye. Cora does as she requests and connects with a kick to the temple when Dolin is on her knees. She muscles up the limp Gigi and hits the Jaded DDT for the win. RESULT: CORA JADE WINS BY PINFALL Naomi and Tamina are seen lying in wait and a moment later we see why. Zelina Vega walks past, and they ambush her. Tamina holds the smaller Zelina while Naomi both attacks and badmouths her. When she’s satisfied, Naomi gives a nod to Tamina who lifts Zelina up from her double underhook and delivers a Glam Slam onto the floor. Officials run in and stop any more attacks, while checking on Vega. RAQUEL RODRIGUEZ VS VALHALLA Valhalla is like a wild animal but Raquel has the height and power to deal with her. Rodriguez muscles Valhalla around who does a good job of selling the power moves she’s put through. Raquel ends it with a Tejana Bomb. RESULT: RAQUEL RODRIGUEZ WINS BY PINFALL Kelly Kinkaid welcomes WWE Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair. She asks her about the challenge Cora Jade made last week about a submission match at next week’s New Years Revolution. Then she asks if Charlotte watched Cora’s match earlier. Charlotte smiles, and says she heard the challenge and she can’t believe that she has to say out loud that Gigi Dolin is not Charlotte Flair. Nobody is Charlotte Flair. This Friday she’ll give her answer to that poor little girl, but until then, she can keep wondering. BIANCA BELAIR VS BAYLEY Bianca hasn’t forgotten about Bayley’s cheap win on Smackdown and begins the match hot by using her power to make Bayley back off, begging for a time out, which Bianca is not in the mood to grant. She keeps up the pressure, whipping Bayley with her ponytail. This keeps up until Bayley uses Bianca’s own momentum against her and helps throw her out of the ring. Bianca is angry at herself for allowing it to happen but as she begins to climb back into the ring, an arm reaches out from under the ring and grabs Bianca’s ankle, pulling her down and then under the ring. The referee didn’t see what happened but as she makes her ten count, we see who was responsible. Asuka climbs out from under the ring on all fours with a devilish smile as the count reaches ten. RESULT: BAYLEY WINS BY COUNTOUT. We go to the back where Becky Lynch stands face to face with Lita. Becky says Rhea thinks she doesn’t have it in her to do what needs done at Day 1. Lita says they both know that isn’t true, but Lita isn’t planning on being another title defense, she plans to leave Raw as the Women’s World Champion and then beat Rhea at the Royal Rumble. Becky says she wouldn’t have it any other way and offers her hand which Lita shakes. “May the best woman win.”
  4. As we've done in a few of our other projects, we'd like to ask you, our readers, to take a very short survey. We're always trying to make this a better experience for our readers, and we can't do that without your input. We're not kidding when we mention brutal honesty. If you think we suck at this, tell us, but tell us WHY. If you enjoy something we'd like to hear that too. Thank you ahead of time for your participation. This survey will close at the end of the month on March 31st. 2k23 (allcounted.com) So that this doesn't get buried under posts, I'll be posting the survey link on top of upcoming shows.
  5. A video of last week of Adam Pearce telling the Usos they’ll go to Raw to get their title shot and then being denied by Stephanie McMahon is shown. DECEMBER WEEK 3 RESCH CENTER GREEN BAY, WI The show begins with Adam Pearce in the ring. He says last Monday was not a good day and he is aware of all the concern about the Unified Tag Team Championship. He is also aware of the threats being thrown around by some people which really isn’t a ‘wise’ move. But after speaking with WWE Officials he has a solution, and he’d like the Usos to come out. Jimmy and Jey come out and let Pearce know they better hear what they want to hear. He tells them that a few weeks back they earned a title match. Unfortunately, it seems Stephanie McMahon pulled a fast one and there’s nothing that can be done about it. The Unified Tag Team Championship is a Raw exclusive now. So after much thought, he’s decided that Stephanie can take those belts and shove them up her….well, you know. Smackdown, the A show, will not be beholden to the whims of the B show. The Usos seem surprised at this. Pearce motions to ringside and they hand him two black sacks. Pearce says in two weeks, Smackdown will celebrate the turn of the year with a special event, New Years Revolution. And at that event the Usos will fight for these…. The Smackdown Tag Team Championship. Now, who will they fight? That will be determined over the next two weeks as eight teams will attempt to qualify for a fatal four way next week, and the winner of that fatal fourway will face the Usos, and those matches start right now! THE ROUGH RIDERS VS AUSTIN THEORY AND GRAYSON WALLER W/PAT MCAFEE Storm, being the ring veteran, takes over early and shows his two younger opponents the business end of an offensive flurry. When Grimes gets in, it continues until McAfee calls his men outside for a conference. What the referee doesn’t see, is that McAfee hands something to Waller who immediately drops Grimes with one bunch before tossing the item back to Pat. The Brand keeps control and Theory ends it with A-Town Down. RESULT: AUSTIN THEORY AND GRAYSON WALLER WIN BY PINFALL The Brand celebrates for their questionable victory, but what’s done is done, and they’re moving on to the fatal fourway. Kayla Braxton welcomes her guest, Cora Jade. Cora says that while most imbeciles would say her title match with Charlotte was a failure, they didn’t see what she saw. She saw fear in the eyes of Charlotte Flair. She saw the champion acknowledge that she was moments from taking that title away. And like the taste of a fine wine, Cora wants another sip, but this time, she wants to make it interesting, she wants to offer something to Charlotte that is irresistible. Cora wants a submission match. Come on Charlotte, don’t you want to hear me scream in agony? Don’t you want me to say that I can’t take it anymore? New Years Revolution. What do you say, champ? Backstage the Street Profits approach Adam Pearce and want to know why they’re not part of the qualifiers tonight. Pearce says to be honest, they lost their qualifier a few weeks ago to the Usos. If they’d won, they’d have gotten the bye at New Years’ Revolution. He says they’re one of the best teams on the roster so keep getting wins and their time will come. When he leaves they’re disappointed but determined. THE GOOD BROTHERS VS ILJA DRAGUNOV AND PETE DUNNE A hard hitting affair with some spots of quick move for move when Anderson is in. The Good Brothers hold the advantage until Dragunov tags in and he pushes Gallows to the edge with a count of two and a half. That ends when Ilja runs right into a boot to the mouth. Anderson and Gallows keep up their attacks and are setting up for the Magic Killer when…. Carmello Hayes hops the barrier and jumps onto the apron. They drop Dragunov and both turn their attention to Hayes. This allows Dunne to tag back in. He dropkicks Gallows in the back and sends him over the top. Anderson charges but Dunne ducks a clothesline and hits a bridged german suplex for the win. RESULT: ILJA DRAGUNOV AND PETE DUNNE WIN BY PINFALL Carmelo Hayes is all smiles as he backs up the aisle and the Good Brothers look like they want to kill him. In their dressing room, Bayley, Naomi, and Tamina are talking strategy about tonight….actually Bayley is doing all the talking and going beyond the match how the three of them could run this division. She almost feels like she’s been adopted already into the Bloodline. She tells them she’ll be back and they can keep planning. When she leaves, Naomi and Tamina share a silent confused expression. THE LWO VS PRETTY DEADLY Fast paced and high energy attacks have Pretty Deadly on the ropes early on, but an unseen low mule kick from Prince allows Wilson to tag in and from there Pretty Deadly shows what it can do as a well oiled machine. Wilde falls to Spilt Milk and that gets the 123. RESULT: PRETTY DEADLY WIN BY PINFALL Kayla Braxton catches up to Paul Heyman backstage and asks him if he’s satisfied with Adam Pearce’s announcement about the new Smackdown Tag Team Championship. Heyman says he’s never satisfied because the Tribal Chief is never satisfied. However he’s analyzing the situation. He walks into the Bloodline Lounge. In their locker room, the OC is fuming. AJ stops his pacing, and swirls on the camera. He says Carmelo Hayes must think he was cute tonight but he won’t be smiling in two weeks at New Years’ Revolution because AJ is personally going to wipe that smirk off his face and it will be ... .phenomenal! THE BRAWLING BRUTES VS THE AOP W/WILLIAM REGAL A pure wrecking ball of a match. Both teams just beat the hell out of each other. It isn’t long until all four men are in the ring, ignoring the referee’s warnings for two of them to get out. When Sheamus and Akam shove him down at the same time, he calls for the bell. RESULT: DOUBLE DISQUALIFICATION (BOTH TEAMS ELIMINATED) We see MVP and Omos backstage. It’s a close shot, so all we see of Omos is equal to MVP’s height. MVP says he is happy to announce that Smackdown will be taking a ‘giant’ leap in 2024. Because he has secured a very lucrative contract for his man and right now he’d like to allow everyone to see what every man in that locker room will be dealing with. The camera pans up to an angry Nigerian giant growing down at it. BAYLEY, NAOMI AND TAMINA VS BIANCA BELAIR, IYO SKY, AND ZELINA VEGA An even match that sees both sides control large sections with double and even triple teams. Bayley is always careful to tag out when Bianca tags in. But that doesn’t stop the EST from showing off in the match. She scoops up Tamina with a big power slam and awaits her to get up for the KOD when…. Asuka appears on the tron, staring blankly, as a thick black liquid spills from her mouth. Bianca is transfixed, allowing Bayley to tag in and hit a surprise Rose Plant on Belair. She makes the cover and Naomi and Tamina stop Iyo and Zelina from breaking it up. RESULT: BAYLEY, NAOMI AND TAMINA WIN BY PINFALL Backstage, Adam Pearce is approached by a smiling Paul Heyman. Heyman says after careful review, the plan for the Usos is acceptable. Pearce says he’s happy to hear that and he’s happy to see Heyman because he has another announcement for New Years Revolution. Heyman’s smile fades as he asks what that is. Pearce tells him that in two weeks, LIVE on Fox, Roman Reigns will be defending the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship….against Keith Lee. Pearce leaves the scene as a scowling Heyman takes out his phone. “Call……Roman….Reigns.”
  6. Hell to Pay Smackdown Managing Director Adam Pearce and the Usos were turned away at Raw after Pearce promised the brothers would get their earned shot at the Unified Tag Team titles. Now the Bloodline’s Wiseman has declared that Pearce is out of time and excuses. The Tribal Chief has given Heyman permission to settle the issue. Pearce maintains he has an announcement coming that will shake up Smackdown and WWE but will it be enough to save him from the Bloodline’s wrath? Since losing her chance at the WWE Women’s Championship at Survivor Series, Cora Jade has been on a quest to get another shot. She says she has an offer that Charlotte Flair can’t refuse. What is it? We’ll find out this week. Ahead of her match with Bayley next week on Superstars, Bianca Belair will team with Iyo Sky and Zelina Vega this week against Bayley and the Bloodline’s Naomi and Tamina. With the Empress of Darkness looming over her, can the EST focus or will her nightmares come back to haunt her? All this and more, this Friday Night*, LIVE on Fox! *Show will be posted TONIGHT!
  7. DECEMBER WEEK 3 MICHELOB ULTRA ARENA LAS VEGAS, NV We begin in the ring with Kelly Kinkaid and her guest, Bianca Belair. She asks Bianca how she is, following that…disturbing attack by Asuka. Bianca says she’s still having nightmares and she won’t lie, she was scared more than any point in her life. But…. “Blah, blah, blah!” Bayley comes out and says that nobody cares about what happened to Bianca. In fact, nobody cares about her at all. What people do want to know is, why isn’t Bayley being interviewed right now? Bianca says if she wants to be interviewed maybe they can have a match next week and then Kelly can interview Bayley from her hospital bed. Bayley laughs it off before cheap shotting Bianca with a right hand then quickly leaves the ring. Bianca holds her cheek, with fire in her eyes. A replay of a moment ago is shown and we hear that Sonya DeVille has agreed. Next week we’ll see the continuation of the long rivalry between Bianca Belair and Bayley. RONDA ROUSEY VS NATALYA These two are very familiar with each other and early on, it’s an open and equal match but Rousey shows her stripes, attacking Natalya relentlessly over the official’s warnings. She rams Natalya into the ring post shoulder-first several times before locking in her arm bar which gets a quick submission. RESULT: RONDA ROUSEY WINS BY SUBMISSION Much like Monday night, Rousey refuses to release the armbar and Natalya is screaming in pain. It takes almost half a dozen referees and officials to get her to break the hold, but there is no amusement on Ronda’s face, only a scowl. BLAIR DAVENPORT VS MICHIN Davenport gives Michin a fight from the opening bell, and both try a few pin attempts but can’t put the other away. Davenport sends Michin to the outside, and while the referee counts, they brawl around ringside, ending in the timekeeper’s area. Sensing an opportunity, Blair ties one of the power cables around Michin’s ankle in a knot and slides back in. Michin can’t get free, and falls victim of the ref’s count. RESULT: BLAIR DAVENPORT WINS BY COUNTOUT A spotlight video focusing on the Genius of the Sky, Iyo Sky is shown. RHEA RIPLEY VS ROXANNE PEREZ Perez never gives up but sometimes retreat is the better part of valor. Ripley shuts down any hopes Roxanne had with a boot to the face halfway through the match. From there, Rhea relishes dealing out punishment before she hits the Riptide and stacks her opponent for the win. RESULT: RHEA RIPLEY WINS BY PINFALL Rhea isn’t satisfied. She picks up Perez by the hair and flings her out of the ring. Mami follows, giving Roxanne a few stomps before she picks her up and delivers another Riptide, this time through the announcer’s table. Graves closes the show saying whoever wins at Day 1 better ask for a tank for christmas because they’re gonna need it at the Royal Rumble!
  8. DECEMBER WEEK 2 DUNKIN DONUTS CENTER PROVIDENCE, RI The show begins with Adam Pearce in his office and Paul Heyman is in the middle of what seems to have been a long diatribe. Heyman, on behalf of the Tribal Chief, demands to know what Pearce is going to do about what happened on Raw. When will the Usos get the Unified Tag Team Championship match they earned? Pearce finally has had enough and shouts down Heyman saying he’s working on it and he’ll have a plan by the end of the show. We go to Gorilla, where William Regal and the AOP are standing by. Regal says that since their return, he and the AOP have left a trail of destruction and people sometimes ask why. The answer to that question should be obvious. They enjoy it. They enjoy dealing out punishment, they enjoy the screams of their opponents. Some people would call them sadists, but you can call them whatever you like. The important thing is, there’s nothing you can do about it. LWO VS AOP W/WILLIAM REGAL Regal’s prediction of punishment comes to pass early and often in this. Del Toro and Wilde have all the speed and quickness but it doesn’t help when two bruisers like Akam and Rezar and demolishing them. The match comes to an end following the Last Chapter. RESULT: AOP WINS BY PINFALL We find Butch and Ilja Dragunov in the back. He thanks Dragunov for helping him last week and they discuss the respect they gained for one another during their best of five series of matches. Ilja tells Butch he was happy to help then says he’ll see him in the ring later for their tag match. Butch stops him and says Butch isn’t his name. Ilja is surprised and says that’s what Sheamus and Holland have been calling him forever. He shrugs and says they never asked what his name was. Dragunov leaves him with a bit of advice….”be yourself.” Kayla Braxton is backstage with Keith Lee. They discuss his match last week with Solo Sikoa which ended in a countout. He says he thought Solo was a fighter but apparently he does what he’s told like a good little boy. Well, maybe they’ll meet again…in the Royal Rumble and if they do, there’s no place Solo can run. SHELTON BENJAMIN VS LA KNIGHT A good back and forth match and Shelton shows he’s still a great in ring performer but Knight overcomes any difficulty, takes over, and ends it with some Blunt Force Trauma. RESULT: LA KNIGHT WINS BY PINFALL Knight is celebrating in the ring when the lights go off, and when they come back on…… Karrion Kross and Scarlett are standing at ringside. She slowly places an hourglass on the apron, as Knight and Kross lock eyes as we go to commercial. When we come back from break all four members of the Brand are face to face with the Street Profits. There is a lot of back and forth trash talk but when Montez and Paul get face to face an on-the-spot challenge for the United States Championship is made and accepted. We have a title match later tonight! PRETTY DEADLY VS PETE DUNNE AND ILJA DRAGUNOV A solid tag match which goes back and forth. Wilson and Prince use their tag experience to their advantage but they’re up against two guys who love to fight and the match goes from tag team action to just a brawl. Half of the action spills to the outside, and while the referee is focused on Dragunov and Prince in the ring…. Sheamus and Ridge Holland run down to the ring and attack Butch, running him into the ring post. Wilson gets back in the ring and together with Prince turn the match in their favor, hitting Spilt Milk on Dragunov for the win. RESULT: PRETTY DEADLY WINS BY PINFALL As Pretty Deadly celebrates, Sheamus and Ridge Holland back up the aisle with big smiles. Kayla Braxton is with Carmelo Hayes. He says last week the OC beat him like a dog but he was raised to give better than he gets. AJ….Good Brothers…this ain’t over by a long shot and it won’t be over until he pays them back for each kick, each punch, every ounce of pain they made him feel. He is HIM, and they will know it. DAVE COLE VS OMOS W/MV Omos wins this one quick and easy as you’d expect. He does use a new finisher however, an elbow drop off the second rope. RESULT: OMOS WINS BY PINFALL We are shown a darkened room. Asuka has her back to us, standing in the corner, slowly banging her forehead into the wall, as Jake Roberts sits on a chair, watching the footage from inside the dumpster last week. We see Bianca being dumped in, the lid slamming shut, and then the sound of the snakes and Bianca screaming. Then it loops and plays again. Roberts turns to us with a sly grin. He says that Bianca has gotten a small taste of the darkness. She felt the forked tongues, the slippery scales as they slid over her. It’s only the beginning. MONTEZ FORD VS LOGAN PAUL © W/PAT MCAFEE A showcase of quick action, Paul and Ford really steal the show and show off what they can do. Neither is shy from going off the second or top rope. At one point half way through the match, Ford nearly scores a win following a Blockbuster off the second rope but Paul kicks out at the last second, to McAfee’s relief. Paul pulls it together and begins leaning more on boxing skills, busting Montez up in the corner with shots to the body. Montez makes a comeback, and pushes Paul to the brink again. At this point, McAfee gets on the apron, drawing the referee, allowing Paul to hit a blatant right hand for the win. RESULT: LOGAN PAUL RETAINS THE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP BY PINFALL Adam Pearce walks up to the Usos outside the Bloodline Lounge. He tells them he does not like how the Bloodline has operated over the last years, but they earned a tag title match. Jimmy demands to know when it will happen and Pearce tells them they’ll get their answer on Monday night because they’re going to Raw, and he’s coming with them!
  9. Blindsided On Monday, Raw Managing Director Stephanie McMahon signed the Unified Tag Team Champions to exclusive contracts, locking them away from Smackdown. Now her Smackdown counterpart Adam Pearce must find a way to respond. Last week, Ilja Dragunov stopped the Brawling Brutes from beating down their former partner Butch. This week the two former enemies join forces in tag action versus Pretty Deadly. MVP has made it known he intends to get Omos off the Free Agent list. A few weeks ago he was seen talking to Adam Pearce and this week, his Nigerian Giant will be in action. Will the largest Free Agent on the market find a home soon on the blue brand? To end last week’s show, Bianca Belair was assaulted and locked in a dumpster by Asuka and Jake the Snake Roberts. This week, the Empress of Darkness and her nefarious mentor will address their actions. All this and more, this Friday Night*, LIVE on Fox! *Show will be posted TONIGHT!
  10. DECEMBER WEEK 2 DENNY SANFORD PREMIER CENTER SIOUX FALLS, SD The show begins with Zoey Stark and Liv Morgan in the midst of a backstage fight. Officials pull them apart as Sonya DeVille enters the scene. She tells them if they want to fight they can do it later tonight in the ring. They both seem to like that idea. Kelly Kinkaid is standing by with Trish Stratus and Lita. She congratulates them on making the fatal four way but they say that’s two weeks away. They’re both free this Monday night so since Shayna and Piper want to get frisky, how about we have a little tag team match this Monday on Raw? They end it by telling their two would-be opponents they’ll see them there. CHARLIER EVANS AND STEVIE TURNER VS NAOMI AND TAMINA The Bloodline Sisters, as Graves calls them, dominate the match, with Naomi supplying the quick action, and Tamina the power. Naomi hits the Rear View on Evans which sets up Tamina for a Superfly Splash. RESULT: NAOMI AND TAMINA WIN BY PINFALL A video highlighting The Man Becky Lynch is shown, ending with her holding up her title. LIV MORGAN VS ZOEY STARK The earlier fight has not cooled down and these two really go eat each other without any fear or hesitation. As much punishment as Zoey dishes out, Liv keeps getting up, to the point that Zoey gets angry, screaming at her to stay down when she keeps kicking out. Liv staggers to her feet, and slaps Zoey in the face. Irate, Zoey kicks Liv in the stomach, then scoops her up and delivers the Z-360. RESULT: ZOEY STARK WINS BY PINFALL A replay of what happened on Smackdown between Bianca Belair and Asuka is shown. LYRA VALKYRIA VS ASUKA W/JAKE ROBERTS Valkyria puts up a good fight but Asuka cuts her down with a stiff looking spinning kick to the head. She toys with her opponent in between strikes, allowed momentary grins when she causes pain. When Roberts gets the signal, Asuka hits the DDT, then immediately moves to the Asuka Lock for which there is no escape for Lyra. RESULT: ASUKA WINS BY SUBMISSION Asuka gets her hand raised and gives a bow to Roberts, who points at Valkyria who’s trying to get up. Asuka runs over and puts her back in the Asuka Lock. As the referee tries to get her to break it, and Roberts laughs outside the ring, the show goes off the air with a closeup of Asuka.
  11. Thank you! Gonna try and fix it. edit: let me know if that's better
  12. A recap video is shown of the Smackdown matches at Survivor Series. DECEMBER WEEK 1 BARCLAYS CENTER BROOKLYN, NY The show begins with Paul Heyman already in the ring. He says he’s never been one to say he told you so, but…oh, who is he kidding, of course he is. So…he told us so! The Bloodline walked into War Games, not even knowing who their fourth opponent was and they walked out with their arms raised and their finger in the air. Once again, the Bloodline has remained at the top of the mountain. It doesn’t matter if it’s Bobby Lashley or Rey Mysterio or Edge or Kevin Owens or Sami Zayn or John Cena or….Cody Rhodes… or take your pick. Roman Reigns, the undefeated, undisputed, WWE Universal Champion and his Bloodline will always rise to the top. So that begs the question what’s next, or with respect to Bill Goldberg, who’s next. The short answer is we don’t know and ladies and gentlemen, we don’t care. Put whoever you want in that ring and the result is the same to the point I believe WWE Management must be insane because the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Bloodline enters, Bloodline handles its business, Bloodline leaves triumphant. And that, is not a prediction, it’s a spoiler! Bianca Belair is backstage looking everywhere for Asuka and asking people if they’ve seen her. When nobody gives her any help she continues her search. MICHIN VS ISLA DAWN Michin, fresh off that double countout with Cora Jade on Superstars is still in an aggressive mood and quickly overcomes Isla with both technical and brawling prowess. She ends it with Seoul Food. RESULT: MICHIN WINS BY PINFALL Backstage, Kayla Braxton is standing by with WWE Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair. She asks Charlotte about the aggression she showed at Survivor Series and Charlotte says that was just rising to the challenge. Cora Jade is a fantastic talent with a long career ahead of her but she thought this was her time. She was wrong. It is the Queen’s time until the Queen says otherwise. And everyone around here, whether they’re new or old, better learn to love it! Adam Pearce is in his office when the Usos enter. They want to know why they haven’t gotten the Unified Tag Team Championship match they earned weeks ago. Pearce says he shares their frustrations, he’s tried to schedule Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn for weeks but there have been…complications. He’ll hopefully have an answer for them next week. AJ STYLES W/THE GOOD BROTHERS VS CARMELO HAYES As advertised, this is a generational matchup and does not fail to deliver. Styles and Hayes go move for move, hold for hold.Just when one gains control, the other flips the match around with their athleticism. Styles uses his friends on the outside to build momentum and lines up for a Phenomenal Forearm but when he soars, Hayes dropkicks him out of the air. Hayes sees opportunity and goes to the top, signaling it’s time for Nothing But Net. The Good Brothers have seen enough and Gallows gets on the apron and shoves Hayes off the top causing a disqualification. RESULT: CARMELO HAYES WINS BY DISQUALIFICATION The OC all converge on Hayes and begin a beatdown. The Good Brothers rough him up before hitting the Magic Killer. Then they hold him up on his feet for Styles to hit a Phenomenal Forearm. With Hayes sprawled out on the mat, they exchange a ‘too sweet’ over his body. Backstage an angry Butch finds his former compatriots. He wants to know why they betrayed him at Survivor Series. They laugh it off and Sheamus says he’ll get answers in the ring. They walk off through the curtain and Butch is ready to explode. Michael Cole says we have an impromptu match right after the break! BUTCH VS RIDGE HOLLAND W/SHEAMUS Though former friends, there is no love lost in this match as Butch and Holland lay into each other from the opening bell. Butch is a wild man, taking out his anger and frustrations from the betrayal a week before. Holland fires back with brute force and at ringside, Sheamus gets in a few shots as well. As Holland builds momentum, Butch stops him cold with a series of forearms to the face, then gets a two count on a crucifix. Butch it up quick and knees Holland under the jaw before hitting the Bitter End for the win. RESULT: BUTCH WINS BY PINFALL Butch is in trouble as both his former friends are beating the hell out of him. That is until….. Ilja Dragunov, the man who went to war with Butch, runs down the aisle and breaks up the beatdown. After a few moments it’s the Brawling Brutes who are sent from the ring. Dragunov and Butch have a moment together and it’s Butch who offers his hand of thanks which is shaken. It appears he has a new friend. Kayla Braxton is with LA Knight. He says finally getting the pack of jackals known as The Brand off his back feels a thousand pounds lighter. But now it’s time to look ahead. We have the Royal Rumble, we have WrestleMania, and there is a lack of gold around his waist. Before he can continue…. Scarlett walks up to them, and focuses on Knight. She hands him an envelope and tells him that a man who makes himself an island, is surrounded by sharks. She walks away and he opens the envelope showing what was inside it. He and Kayla both look unnerved. LACEY EVANS VS IYO SKY Lacey has been a thorn in the side of Iyo for weeks now and it finally comes back to bite her. While holding an early advantage, Evans loses control of the match and then Sky shows why she’s one of the best with a constant flow of offense which ends with a huge moonsault for the win. RESULT: IYO SKY WINS BY PINFALL A pre-taped vignette of The Brand is shown, with Pat McAfee in a neck brace. He says that the elite never let a fluke get them down and now it’s about focusing on The Brand and what’s ahead in 2024. They have the United States title, and it’s time for more gold so everyone is on notice! KEITH LEE VS SOLO SIKOA W/PAUL HEYMAN These two go right at each other and don’t hold back. Lee shows off in his first televised match in years and does what few have been able to do with Solo, which is anything he wants. But that doesn’t mean Sikoa is a victim, he’s far from it. He gives as good as he gets and has Lee looking down and out following a running splash followed by a running knee. Solo muscles Lee up on his shoulders for a Samoan Drop but Lee escapes and hits a standing drop kick which knocks Solo out of the ring. Sikoa is enraged but Heyman stops him from getting back in, whispering something in his ear. Solo takes a moment to nod and follows Heyman back up the aisle, leaving Lee the winner once the referee reaches ten. RESULT: KEITH LEE WINS BY COUNTOUT Bianca explodes out of the arena, looking around the parking lot and spots Jake Roberts smiling at her as he leans against a wall. Bianca makes a beeline for him, demanding to know where Asuka is. He keeps smiling, telling her that darkness is never hard to find. Asuka, who had been crouched beside a dumpster, springs into action, blindsiding Belair and ramming her into the dumpster. As Asuka kicks and stomps, Roberts opens the lid on the dumpster and Asuka puts Bianca in it. They slam the lid and padlock it closed. A camera inside the pitch black dumpster catches Bianca groaning in pain, demanding to be let out and then we hear it. A hiss….then another…and another. We can’t see the snakes but we can hear them. The show ends with a shot of the dumpster, Asuka and Roberts long gone, and a frantic Belair screaming to be let out and pounding on the inside.
  13. ‘Don’t say I didn’t tell you.’ The Bloodline has survived yet another challenge to their dominance, coming out on top at War Games. This week their Wiseman will open the show with more spoilers about what lays ahead for the Tribal Chief. War Games saw the return of the Limitless Keith Lee who began the match across from the Bloodline’s enforcer Solo Sikoa. In this week’s main event these two powerhouses will meet a continuation of what they started Saturday night. Survivor Series also saw Michin walk away from the OC after weeks of being fed up with their actions. We’ll see her in action this week versus Isla Dawn, while the OC’s leader AJ Styles meets Carmelo Hayes in a generational first-time matchup. Finally, Bianca Belair has been wanting to get her hands on Asuka since Crown Jewel. Last week the devious Jake the Snake Roberts told Bianca Asuka will be present this week. What will happen when the EST and the Empress of Darkness finally go face to face? Don’t miss all the action LIVE this Friday night* on FOX! *Show will be posted Monday
  14. DECEMBER WEEK 1 ALASKA AIRLINES ARENA SEATTLE, WA A recap of Stephanie McMahon’s dual announcements on Raw concerning the women’s division is shown. Backstage, Ronda Rousey is in the middle of beating the tar out of Indi Hartwell. Indi is down and Ronda continues to throw punches until four officials separate her and force her away. CORA JADE VS MICHIN This is a fight from the opening bell. Michin and Jade both have some lingering personal frustrations and take it out on one another, spotlighted by a cannonball by Jade off the apron. They continue to fight until the referee reaches a ten count. RESULT: DOUBLE COUNTOUT Kelly Kinkaid is standing by with Piper Niven. Piper says that her entire career people have never given her the respect she deserves so now she’s going to take it. She has qualified for the fatal fourway and she will be the one to take the Women’s World Championship from Becky Lynch. Then she’ll beat Rhea Ripley and everyone will know who to fear. TEGAN NOX VS JORDYNNE GRACE Grace shines in this, using an incredible power game and athleticism to overwhelm Nox. After she spends several minutes punishing Tegan’s back, she ends the match with a sit down powerbomb. RESULT: JORDYNNE GRACE WINS BY PINFALL A spotlight video of WWE Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair is shown. CHELSEA GREEN VS SHOTZI Shotzi as always puts up a valiant fight, but Chelsea is too much in this contest, using a couple underhanded tactics to keep the advantage and ending it with an Unprettier which Graves calls the “I’m Prettier.” RESULT: CHELSEA GREEN WINS BY PINFALL Before the show ends, the final two Raw fatal four way qualifiers are hyped. Trish Stratus will take on Nikki Cross and Shayna Baszler will go up against Natalya, this Monday on Raw!

  18. Following John Cena, Big E and the New Day, and Charlotte Flair fielding questions, Chief Content Officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque sat down to address the assembled media. “Chicago never disappoints, does it? Okay so quick housekeeping notes. First off some great matches on the pre-show with Shin and McIntyre and then how good is Dolph and how much of a future does Wes Lee have? I think that kid is gonna be a big deal for a long time to come. As for the main show, what can I say? You go from seeing Cora Jade hang with Charlotte Flair, you have a brutal personal grudge match with Cody and Randy, you have Big E come back and if you thought that crowd popped, you shoulda seen the boys and girls backstage. We managed to keep that one under our hat. Two great War Games matches. Dom hanging with John, another guy who’s gonna be a top star for the next couple decades. I know I’m leaving some guys out here but everyone busted their ass and I’m proud as hell of them. We’re fortunate not to have any major injuries. Cody needed some stitches but he’s gonna be okay. Business wise, we had a full house with 18,211. I don’t have much else to go over so we’ll turn it over to you all for questions.” (48 HOURS FOR ANY OF YOU TO ASK THE CCO WHATEVER YOU WANT! )
