Pipers Pit Posted July 28, 2023 Author Share Posted July 28, 2023 We see a video recap of last week focusing on Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn being attacked by Pretty Deadly and then Paul Heyman telling WWE Official Adam Pearce that we’ll hear Roman Reigns answer to Bobby Lashley’s Summerslam challenge. JULY WEEK 3 AMWAY CENTER ORLANDO, FL Backstage we see the Bloodline arrive in a stretch Hummer limo. Kayla Braxton is waiting for them and asks Paul Heyman if Reigns has decided to accept or not but they all brush her off and walk into the arena. “Welcome to Friday Night Smackdown! I’m Michael Cole alongside Wade Barrett and tonight we’re all awaiting the answer from Roman Reigns. Will he or won’t he accept the Almighty’s challenge?” “Cole, you of all people have no right to demand anything from the Head of the Table. I’m sure he’ll give his answer on his own time.” "Be that as it may, let’s go to the ring for our opening contest.” CHARLOTTE FLAIR VS ISLA DAWN *Dawn starts strong, knowing she has to take it to Charlotte and it almost works until Charlotte begins lighting her up with chops. *Charlotte targets Dawn’s legs and when she’s weakened enough, slaps on the Figure 8 for the win. RESULT: CHARLOTTE FLAIR WINS BY SUBMISSION Charlotte gets her arm raised and heads up the aisle. Before she exits she turns to give the crowd one more WOOOOOOO. But Asuka has snuck up behind her and when Charlotte turns to leave, Asuka sprays the burgundy colored mist in her face. Charlotte drops, clutching her eyes. Asuka stalks around her like a shark before viciously kicking her in the side of the head. Before Asuka can do more damage, officials force her away. The camera pans and standing near the entrance we see Jake Roberts with a smile at his new protege’s handiwork. “Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time, AJ Styles. AJ, last week we saw Karrion Kross and Scarlett make some pretty serious threats. How do you respond?” “Kayla, Kross and Scarlett like to do a lot of threatening and talking but me? I already prefer fighting. You want a piece of me, Kross? How about at Summerslam we settle this? You wanna call me a hanged man, well I’ll let you in on a secret. If I’m getting hanged, I’m taking you with me!” A graphic is shown telling us Bianca Belair will be on Smackdown next week with a major career announcement. SHEAMUS VS JOAQUIN WILDE *Sheamus bullies Wilde for most of the match but he begins taking his eye off the ball, and Wilde makes him pay by drop kicking him in the back towards the corner. *Sheamus goes high and hits his head off the post. He staggers back and Wilde nails a bridged German suplex for the upset win. RESULT: JOAQUIN WILDE WINS BY PINFALL Butch and Ridge Holland swamp Wilde and once Sheamus has recovered they pick him apart, ending with a Brogue Kick. Barrett comments that the Brawling Brutes aren’t done with the LWO yet! Kayla Braxton approaches Pretty Deadly. “Elton, Kit, last week you attacked the Undisputed Tag Team Champions, and they offered to fight at Summerslam. Are you regretting your actions?” Prince smiles. “Regret? Kayla, Kit and I have the opportunity we’ve been looking for. NXTUK champions. NXT champions. And soon, Undisputed Tag Team champions.” Wilson nods in agreement. “We’ve got them right where we want them and after all, there’s no crying over Spilt Milk.” Bayley is in her dressing room. “Iyo, I tried, I really really tried to get it through your head but you just don’t know your place. You think you’re my equal? Ding Dong, Hello! You’re a sidekick. You’re not on my level. And the next time you get in the role model’s face, you’re going to regret it.” GIGI DOLAN AND TEAGAN NOX VS RONDA ROUSEY AND SHAYNA BASZLER © *Gigi and Nox try their best but Ronda and Shayna are just too tough, brutal, and devastating. *Shayna sends Nox nto the barricade and nearly kicks her head off. *In the ring, Ronda hits Piper’s Pit before locking in the arm bar on Gigi who quickly taps. RESULT: RONDA ROUSEY AND SHAYNA BASZLER RETAIN THE WOMEN’S TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP BY SUBMISSION The Bloodline is in their lounge, everyone is tense. Heyman leans in over Roman’s shoulder. “My Tribal Chief, have you given any thought to Bobby Lashley’s challenge for Summerslam?” Roman looks over his shoulder. “Wiseman, I know the answer.” Heyman nods and backs off as Roman looks straight ahead in concentration. AJ HINKLER AND KYLE FLETCHER VS HIT ROW *Hit Row dominates their opponents with a quick match that ends with Double Platinum. RESULT: HIT ROW WINS BY PINFALL Hit Row don’t have long to celebrate as the Street Profits hit the ring looking for the fight they didn’t get last week but Hit Row isn’t in the mood to fight this week either and head for the hills. A video for Summerslam is shown but halfway through a familiar interlude cuts in before the commercial finishes as normal. BOBBY LASHLEY VS AUSTIN THEORY *These two have a rivalry going back months and put on a very good match with even offense. *Theory does everything he can to overcome his opponent’s power but it’s not enough. *Lashley delivers a Dominator, before rag dolling Theory up to his feet and slaps on the Hurt Lock for the win. RESULT: BOBBY LASHLEY WINS BY SUBMISSION Lashley gets his arm raised but as soon as he turns to the aisle, the Bloodline has hit the ring. Lashley fights them off and for a moment actually is holding his own but the numbers catch up to him. As he puts Jey in the Hurt Lock, Solo Sikoa hits the Samoan Spike from behind. They stomp Lashley before the Usos come off the top with their twin splash. As Lashley lays in a heap…… The WWE Universal Champion comes down the aisle with Paul Heyman leading him down holding the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship over his head. He steps into the ring and has a wide smile as he crouches next to Lashley. “I accept.” Roman stands as the Bloodline raise their fingers in the air as a cohesive unit with Lashley laying at their feet as the show ends.

Kimberly Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 For weeks, both Drew McIntyre & Matt Riddle have each had issues with Intercontinental Champion, GUNTHER. Both men want a shot at the champ at SummerSlam and their mutual desire for revenge against the Ring General and Imperium has boiled over into physical attacks on each other. Monday on Raw, Riddle and McIntyre's attacks reach a conclusion when they go one-on-one in our featured match. At stake is a shot at GUNTHER in Detroit. Who will prevail? Find out on Raw. Last week on Raw, Brock Lesnar appeared to accept the challenge of The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes for Hell in a Cell at SummerSlam. And then the Beast upped the ante by attempting to deliver a F5 to Cody's wife, Brandi. This week on Raw, Cody will have to put aside his anger when he faces Mami's Dom Dom, Dominik Mysterio. Will Rhodes be able to keep his focus? Speaking of Mami, last week Trish Stratus reuinted with Lita and then became the #1 contender for the Women's World Title. Monday on Raw, Stratus will be in action against Emma. Will Rhea Ripley be on hand? Finally, the World Heavyweight Champion Seth "Freakin" Rollins will kick off Monday Night Raw and he is promising to call out his opponent at SummerSlam, Finn Balor. What will happen when the leader of The Judgment Day comes face to face with the champ? Find out on Raw.

Kimberly Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 WWE Raw opens with a video package highlighting the recent issues with Matt Riddle, Drew McIntyre, the Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER & Imperium. The video ends with dual graphics saying in our main event: Drew McIntyre will face Matt Riddle in a match that may decide who will be the #1 contender for the title. Welcome to Monday Night Raw. JULY WEEK 4, 2023 AMALIE CENTER TAMPA, FLORIDA The World Heavyweight Champion, Seth “Freakin” Rollins comes out to open Monday Night Raw. Instead of the usual joking and the pied piper routine with his music, Seth appears to be all business as he gets into the ring. Seth grabs a mic and says that we are 12 days away from SummerSlam but to be honest, the champ isn’t sure if he can wait that long to take Finn Balor apart. Seth says that when this all began, he wasn’t entirely sure exactly why Finn targeted him and just assumed it had to be for the title. But then Seth thought back to 2016. At the very event that Finn Balor will now challenge Seth “Freakin” Rollins, in 2016 those two men met for another title. It was to crown the first ever Universal Champion. And on that night, after an epic back and forth contest, Finn Balor prevailed. Seth says that he is a big enough man to admit that on that night,7 years ago, Finn Balor was the better man. But then something happened, Seth grew as a wrestler and got better…and Finn Balor regressed. He fell back so far that he had to join a group of never weres and surprise, surprise, he isn’t even the most relevant of that group….a woman is. So that is why Finn is doing this. It is the reason for the sneak attacks and the assaults, it’s all about Finn trying to show that he can still be relevant. Finn needs this title to prove that the last 7 years were a fluke, that he hasn’t lost a step..that he’s still a ma…. The Judgment Day as one big group comes out and Seth laughs and says that just proves his point. Dominik welcomes us to Mami Night Raw and then Rhea Ripley starts to rip apart Seth which only makes Seth laugh harder because Finn is, as predicted, hiding behind a woman. Eventually, Seth incenses Finn so much that he tells his family to go to the back and Finn comes down to the ring and meets Seth face to face. Finn tells Seth that the success that Seth has had is not because Seth got better as a wrestler…it’s because Seth got better kissing ass. Opportunity after opportunity was just thrown Seth’s way because Seth sucked up to Triple H first and then to Vince McMahon. And once he became Mr. Becky Lynch, Seth became a made man around this place. Finn tells Seth that it’s ironic that Seth makes fun of Finn for the domination of Rhea Ripley, when Seth Rollins has never actually been in a planned main event at Wrestlemania, he had to interrupt one to have his “wrestlemania moment”. But Seth’s old lady has. In fact, she won her main event…that has to sting. Finn asks Seth how does it feel to be the forgotten one in his own family? “The Man’s Man” is really nothing more than Becky’s Bitc…Seth decks Balor and the two start to brawl. Eventually The Judgment Day come running down and Seth is able to clean house of Dom and Damian, but when Rhea steps into the ring, Seth won’t hit her. Rhea then responds by kicking Rollins low which brings out….The Man Becky Lynch comes running out and tries to get at Rhea who has rolled to the floor. The Judgment Day back away up the aisle while Becky checks on her husband and we go to commercial. COMMERCIAL BREAK Raw returns and we see during the break that Becky and Seth have come to the backstage area and Lynch walks up to Eric Bischoff and demands Rhea Ripley here tonight. Becky says that she knows that Rhea has a date with Trish and that Becky has a date with Zoey at SummerSlam, but tonight The Man has come round and she wants Mami. Eric thinks about it and says that he won’t grant that request, but he will do one better. Later on tonight the World Heavyweight Champion Seth “Freakin” Rollins & The Man Becky Lynch will be partners and they will face, Finn Balor & the Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley in a mixed tag team match!!! RICOCHET VS BRONSON REED W/THE MIZ *Bronson shows surprising speed and early on this looks like a squash, but it becomes a competitive match. After a couple of near falls, Bronson takes over but he can’t put Ricochet down *Ricochet starts a come back and sets up to win the match when Bronson goes for his splash from the top, but Ricochet moved out of the way *Finish sees ref yell at Miz which distracts the ref. Carlito comes from under the ring and sneaks in and does a Backstabber on Reed. Ricochet goes up top and nails the 450 for a pinfall RESULT: RICOCHET WINS BY PINFALL After the match, Carlito and Ricochet go up the aisle with Carlito gloating at having cost Reed a win. Bronson & Miz are seething and this could come back to bite Carlito at SummerSlam. Backstage, Cody Rhodes is putting on his ring jacket. The American Nightmare is in action against Dominik Mysterio, next on Raw. COMMERCIAL BREAK CODY RHODES VS DOMINIK MYSTERIO W/RHEA RIPLEY *A fast paced match and Cody actually shows Dominik some love as Dirty Dom gets some near falls *This goes through two commercials and Dom takes an entire segment in control after Rhea interfered, but then Dom slaps Cody and that sets the American Nightmare off *Cody starts showing a strong vicious streak and when Rhea tries to interfere, Cody actually shoves Dom right into the Women’s World Champ who falls to the floor *Cody then hits the Cross Rhodes for the pinfall RESULT: CODY RHODES WINS BY PINFALL After the match, Cody shows a viciousness as he continues an assault on Dom. Even Rhea looks surprised and concerned as she calls for backup from The Judgment Day. Cody grabs Dom by the neck and drags him to the floor and places his head in a chair and then grabs a microphone. Cody tells TJD that if they come closer, Cody will snap his neck. Cody says that this is a message for Brock Lesnar because he knows that Brock is not here tonight but is watching. In less than twelve days, when Cody and Brock step into Hell, only one man’s career is going to continue. Brock made this beyond personal when he touched Cody’s wife. And The American Nightmare will bring hell upon Brock Lesnar’s soul at SummerSlam. Cody then starts wailing away with a chair on the back of Dominik until he stops and then walks through the crowd toward the back and The Judgment Day checks on Mysterio. COMMERCIAL BREAK Raw returns and we see video taken during the break where Managing Director Eric Bischoff rushes up to Cody and asks him what the hell was he doing? Cody just glares at Cody before walking off. Eric turns around and runs right into Damian Priest who says what just happened out there is bullshit. Priest says that he demands a match next week with Cody Rhodes. Eric says that even though Cody will be walking into Hell in a Cell 5 days later, Damian has a point and the match is made. Next week: Cody Rhodes vs Damian Priest on the go home edition of Raw! NIKKI CROSS VS DANA BROOKE *Dana makes her return to Raw and shows some promise against Nikki but this match is about showing that Nikki is increasingly unstable. After some falls, Nikki rams Dana’s head into a turnbuckle with glee. *The finish comes with Nikki doing a choke like move on Dana for a submission. RESULT: NIKKI CROSS WINS BY SUBMISSION After the match, Nikki Cross looks furious and then starts laughing in the ring before leaving the arena while laughing. Nikki seems to be growing more unstable by the day. We get a video package highlighting the Trish Stratus/Lita/Rhea Ripley saga that played out during Raw last week. The announcers remind us that the match has been made for SummerSlam: Trish Stratus w/Lita vs Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship! We go back to earlier where the mixed tag team match between Seth “Freakin” Rollins/Becky Lynch vs Finn Balor & Rhea Ripley is made. The mixed tag match will take place after this time out. COMMERCIAL BREAK Raw returns to a vignette showing Jinder Mahal who tells us that the Modern Day Maharajah has found his calling after searching through India. And soon, very soon, he will return and Raw will never be the same. SETH “FREAKIN” ROLLINS AND BECKY LYNCH VS FINN BALOR AND RHEA RIPLEY *This match is presented like a marquee match that takes up two broadcast quarters. The World Champ & The Man dominate early and then a brawl takes place before the ref restores order *Finn and Rhea then take over and Becky is separated from Seth as Rhea just works her over and Finn grabs Becky by the hair whenever Becky begins her comeback*Eventually Finn is tagged in and goes to hit Lynch, but Rollins jumps over the ropes and nails Balor and then Becky is up attacking Rhea and a brawl happens again *Finish sees Zoey Stark run down when the ref is distracted and assault Becky from behind on the floor. Stark drops Becky face first on the ring steps. Seth is then dropped from behind by Rhea and Finn is able to go up top and nail the Coup de Gras for the pinfall RESULT: FINN BALOR & RHEA RIPLEY WIN BY PINFALL After the match, Zoey Stark continues her assault on Becky Lynch while Seth tries to go save his wife. But then Seth is jumped by both Finn Balor and Rhea Ripley. Finn and Rhea start attacking the champ and, with Zoey attacking Becky, its a 3 on 2 situation until… Trish Stratus & Lita come out to the arena. Trish looks unsure, but with Lita urging her on Trish seems to have found her old form and charges into battle and attacks Rhea Ripley. Soon a brawl takes place and the World Champ, Becky Lynch, Lita &...yes, Trish Stratus, dispatch of Finn Balor, Rhea Ripley & Zoey Stark. Zoey looks like Trish betrayed her and Becky clearly does not trust Trish, but tonight the Trish Stratus we all know and love returned to Raw! We get a video highlighting all of the issues leading to Drew McIntyre vs Matt Riddle. When Raw comes back, our main event is next - McIntyre vs Riddle live on Raw. COMMERCIAL BREAK Raw returns with a graphic announcing that next week on Raw, Lita will return to action against Piper Niven & Cody Rhodes will face Damian Priest on the final Raw before SummerSlam, and a mystery return to Raw is being promised. DREW MCINTYRE VS MATT RIDDLE *This is an even hard hitting match that is a epic main event for Raw *The match goes back and forth with multiple near falls and both men get ample offense and time controlling the match *The finish comes right after McIntyre kicks out of a Bro-Derek and as Mcintyre is counting down for a Claymore. All 3 members of Imperium hits the ring and swamps both men and the ref has no choice but to throw the match out RESULT: MATCH IS THROWN OUT DUE TO INTERFERENCE FROM IMPERIUM After the match, GUNTHER & Imperium continue their assault and systematically take apart both Riddle & McIntyre. Eventually, Eric Bischoff sends officials out to the ring and pulls Imperium off of their victims. Eric grabs a microphone and says that he wants to thank GUNTHER for this assault tonight because it provides clarity for Bischoff. For weeks, Eric has had to decide who gets GUNTHER at SummerSlam for the Intercontinental Title. Both Drew McIntyre & Matt Riddle have made compelling cases for the opportunity. But GUNTHER just chose because he attacked them both. So guess what? At SummerSlam the Ring General will defend his Intercontinental Championship against them both. At SummerSlam it will be Matt Riddle vs Drew McIntyre vs GUNTHER for the Intercontinental Championship……..oh and one more thing….if Imperium interferes in that match in *any* way, GUNTHER will immediately lose the Intercontinental Championship. Imperium is furious and so is the Ring General, but they have no one to blame but themselves. At SummerSlam, GUNTHER will have to find a way to overcome two men that have all the motivation in the world to kick his ass and he can’t have Imperium as backup! Are the days of the Intercontinental Champion numbered? We’ll find out in 12 days at SummerSlam! Good night from Tampa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipers Pit Posted August 3, 2023 Author Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) Two weeks ago, the Almighty Bobby Lashley laid down a Summerslam challenge to Roman Reigns. Last week, the Tribal Chief accepted....after his Bloodline attacked Lashley. This week the Champion is absent, but Bobby Lashley will be on hand. What kind of payback does he have in store for the Bloodline? Almost a month ago, a heinous attack by Lacey Evans left Bianca Belair blinded. This week Bianca will begin Smackdown with a career-altering announcement that you won't want to miss. In action: Sami Zayn vs Elton Prince Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar vs the Usos Tune in LIVE this Friday night for Friday Night Smackdown on FOX!

Pipers Pit Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 A video from the end of last week is shown were the Bloodline jumped Bobby Lashley after his match and once he was barely conscious, the WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns came to the ring to accept the Summerslam challenge. JULY WEEK 4 SMOOTHIE KING CENTER NEW ORLEANS, LA The show begins with Bianca Belair already in the ring. She looks subdued, her eyes still covered with a wrapped bandage. “I’ve been putting this off, trying to find the right time to tell all my fans in the WWE Universe the biggest news of my career. You see, a few weeks ago Lacey Evans attacked me in my dressing room but before she did that, she tossed in a flashbang and she blinded me. I haven’t seen my friends, my family…I haven’t seen my husband’s face in a month! I’ve been to more doctors than I can count and all of their advice has brought me here tonight.” Lacey Evans walks down to the ring with a big smile. “Bianca, hey it’s Lacey….” she waved at Belair mockingly. “I just wanted to be in the ring when you gave your big announcement to see it with my own eyes….no pun intended, darlin’.” Bianca looks in the direction of the crowd as they boo Evams. “Lacey, I’m glad you’re here actually because as I said, this is all your doing. And as for my announcement, I met with the best eye doctor in the country four days ago and well…” Belair begins to choke up as Evans climbs to the second rope, taunting the booing crowd. Belair goes from looking at the mic to directly looking in Evans’ direction and begins unwrapping her eyes as she talks. “And he told me the best news I’ve ever heard. Not only is my vision back,......” Evans stops taunting and an expression of surprise crosses her face. “.....but there is nothing stopping me from whipping your ass!” Belair runs across the ring to Evans and yanks her down by her waistline before launching everything she had on Evans who does her best to block but Belair is insatiable. Evans tries to escape the ring but Bianca catches her by the hair and brings her back in, lighting her up with several big short armed clotheslines before military pressing Evans over her head and dumping her over the top rope. As the crowd explodes, Bianca swings her ponytail and doesn’t look like she’s done with Lacey Evans yet! Evans forces herself to her feet and retreats down the aisle. We see a replay of what opened the show. Bianca Belair is back and Lacey Evans is in trouble! LA KNIGHT VS GRAYSON WALLER *A great back and forth match between these two, Traditional heel cheating to keep the advantage type of story. *The crowd is really behind Knight and he feeds off it to take control. *Match ends when Knight nails a stun gun on Waller followed by a BFT on the rebound. RESULT: LA KNIGHT WINS BY PINFALL We go to Adam Pearce’s office where he is being screamed at by Bayley in English and Iyo Sky in Japanese. “Alright, alright! There’s only one way to settle this. The two of you will go one on one at Summerslam and I don’t want there to be any whining or excuses…” he looks at Bayley. “...so your match will be two out of three falls.” Iyo appears to like this news very much while Bayley is less enthused and storms out of the office. ELTON PRINCE VS SAMI ZAYN *Zayn, who came out without Owens in his corner, is fired up and takes it to Prince from the opening bell showing why he’s one of the best in the business. *Thanks to some dirty tactics, Prince gains the advantage and holds it until Zayn makes a comeback and hits the Helluva Kick. *As soon as Zayn goes for the pin, Kit Wilson enters the ring and attacks him. RESULT: SAMI ZAYN WINS BY DISQUALIFICATION Pretty Deadly doesn’t have time to double team Sami after the match because Kevin Owens comes running down with a chair and they both quickly ditch out of the ring. We cut to a vignette of a smoky room in which Scarlett sits at a table turning her tarot cards. Karrion Kross stands over her shoulder. “AJ, you want to bring about your demise at Summerslam? That’s music to my ears. I don’t want to ruin the surprise but you need to know what is in store for you. And that simply, is pain. I’m going to hurt you AJ. I’m going to make you wish you never laced a pair of boots. And remember one last thing. Scarlett’s cards never lie. See you in Detroit.” The United States Champion Edge is walking backstage. The WWE Hall of Famer will be in the ring….next! Edge is in the ring and holding a mic. “New Orleans! I stand before you the United States Champion but I feel like I haven’t been given enough opportunities to defend this title. To be a fighting champion. So as the WWE’s ultimate opportunist, I’m going to take care of that. Next week, in this ring, the night before Summerslam, I’m putting this title on the line against whoever wants to…..” Karl Anderson walks out, without Luke Gallows. He enters the ring and steps up to Edge and simply offers his hand, which Edge shakes and completes their unsaid verbal agreement. Cole and Barrett hype next week and what an incredible match that will be. Kayla Braxton is backstage and runs to catch up to an annoyed Paul Heyman. “Mr. Heyman, why did Roman Reigns feel it was necessary to send the Bloodline to assault Bobby Lashley before accepting his challenge?” “Ms. Braxton, if you need to ask that question, you haven’t been paying attention. The Tribal Chief, the Head of the Table, The Reignsing…defending…. …..does whatever he wants, for whatever reason he wants and all you need to worry your pretty little head about, is that at Summerslam, Bobby Lashley walks in without the title, and walks out without the title. THE STREET PROFITS VS HIT ROW *The Street Profits remember the attack Hit Row put on them the last time and are out for revenge. *Dawkins is kept in the enemy corner for a long stretch. *He finally makes the hot tag to Ford who cleans house and ends it with a sky-high frog splash on Top Dolla for the win. RESULT: STREET PROFITS WIN BY PINFALL We go to Asuka’s dressing room which has been re-designed with black walls and snakes writhing on the furniture and floors. Jake Roberts stands next to the champ. “Charlotte Flair, I gave you a clear warning. As a favor to your father, I tried to save you from the Empress of Darkness. But you listen about as good as he does. I’m a patient man and I’m someone who knows how important second chances are. So I’m going to give you another chance. At Summerslam, I invite you to join me as my special guest…in The Snake Pit. And we can come to an understanding. I’m only looking out for you. Trust me.” The camera focuses on Asuka’s completely emotionless face until at the last second, she spits mist at the camera. NAOMI VS MICHIN *An even match that goes back and forth *Naomi is getting the worst of it until she gouges Michin’s eyes. *Naomi hits the Rear View for the win. RESULT: NAOMI WINS BY PINFALL THE USOS VS REY MYSTERIO AND SANTOS ESCOBAR *Great tag action with both teams splitting the offense. *The Usos control the early going but the LWO starts building momentum and finally Rey gets Jimmy in position for a 619. *When he goes for it, Jey distracts the referee who doesn’t see Solo catch Rey mid-move and sling him down to the ringside mat. *Escobar goes after Solo but is quickly double teamed by both Usos. *Mysterio is rolled back into the ring and he walks right into a 1D. RESULT: THE USOS WIN BY PINFALL The Bloodline is ready to continue their attacks when….. Bobby Lashley runs down to the ring. He clotheslines Jimmy, then Jey. He tries to hit Solo, who ducks it, but Lashley runs past and bounds off the ropes for a spear! The Usos pull Solo out to the floor as Lashley and the LWO hold the ring as the show ends.

Kimberly Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) With just 5 days before SummerSlam, the Intercontinental Championship is on the line. At SummerSlam, Drew McIntyre & Matt Riddle will step into the ring in a triple threat match for the Intercontinental Champion, but it could be Dolph Ziggler that they could face. The Show Off has the opportunity when he challenges The Ring General GUNTHER live on Raw. Who will walk into SummerSlam as the Intercontinental Champion? Also, Seth "Freakin" Rollins & Finn Balor will come face to face one more time only 5 days before they collide with the World Heavyweight Championship on the line in Detroit. After how personal this feud has gotten, can both men keep their compuse? After brutally attacking Dominik Mysterio, the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes will face Damian Priest. With just days to go until Cody steps inside Hell in a Cell with The Beast Brock Lesnar, can a rageful Rhodes keep his anger in check? Finally, with days to go before she challenges Rhea Ripley for the Women's World Title at SummerSlam, the WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus will go one-on-one Sonya Deville. Rhea Ripley is sure to be on hand, will sparks fly? This is the final stop before SummerSlam this Saturday! Don't miss Raw LIVE this Monday on USA.

Kimberly Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 In what is becoming a weekly tradition now, schedule update: Raw won't be tonight. This time due to me recovering from a strained neck. Hope to post the show tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipers Pit Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share Posted August 8, 2023 So good news and bad news. Bad news first. Due to a medical issue we're on pause. Should not be long term. Good news, the weather is beautiful today where I live. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
