Pipers Pit Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 A recap of Fastlane is shown highlighting Charlotte Flair cashing in after her non-title loss and Bobby Lashley and Karrion Kross’ battle which saw Lashley emerge as Roman Reigns’ opponent at Crown Jewel. The package ends with the staredown that closed the show. OCTOBER WEEK 2 ENTERPRISE CENTER ST. LOUIS, MO The Bloodline comes down to the ring and after ordering St. Louis to acknowledge him, Reigns tells us that in four weeks he has a date with Bobby Lashley at Crown Jewel….if….Lashley can make it to Crown Jewel because you see…… Rey Mysterio comes out from the back and says he’s seen enough of Reigns and the Bloodline and what they did to his amigos in the LWO. So tonight he’s here and he wants Reigns. Roman begins to laugh it off until Mysterio asks if he left his cojones on the Island of Relevancy. That changes the champion’s mood and just as Heyman begins to shoot down the challenge, Reigns stops him and says he accepts. The crowd and the announcers pop big time for an impromptu match as we go to break. A replay is shown of what happened before the break between Roman Reigns and Rey Mysterio. Cole tells us that Adam Pearce has made it official and tonight’s main event is a WWE Undisputed Universal Championship match between the Tribal Chief and the Hall of Famer! In gorilla, the Brutes are gathered before Sheamus’ match but they stop Butch as they walk out. Sheamus says that him losing….and shaking the hand of Ilja Dragunov is a very bad look. So he can sit back here and watch how a brawling brute takes care of business and maybe learn something. Sheamus and Ridge leave him behind. SHEAMUS W/RIDGE HOLLAND VS SHELTON BENJAMIN *Sheamus is ruthless in this matchup and doesn’t mind sharing with Holland who gets in a few shots on the outside. Shelton is still a great worker but even he can’t kick out of a Brogue Kick. RESULT: SHEAMUS WINS BY PINFALL A vignette is shown in which there is a black screen for a few moments until the screen turns blazingly white and for just a moment we glimpse the silhouette of a very large man. AUSTIN THEORY W/PAT MCAFEE VS AKIRA TOZAWA *Theory shows off both his talent and his vicious streak in this as he dominates Tozawa and puts him away with A-Town Down. RESULT: AUSTIN THEORY WINS BY PINFALL Kayla Braxton is backstage with Bobby Lashley. Lashley says he knows he has a bullseye on his back with the Bloodline because Roman is afraid of him. Further he says he respects Rey Mysterio and whoever wins tonight, is going to get the best of the Almighty at Crown Jewel. ALBA FYRE VS ZELINA VEGA *An even and open match that goes back and forth but Zelina puts momentum together in the end and finishes Fyre with a running second rope moonsault (Lionsault). RESULT: ZELINA VEGA WINS BY PINFALL Charlotte Flair comes out as she did on Superstars and revels in her championship cash-in at Fastlane. She further says that as a FIFTEEN time world champion she is really sad that she will never break her father’s record because this title isn’t going anywhere. Wooooooooo! THE GOOD BROTHERS VS THE USOS *Good Brothers have it working early on but things fall apart on them mid-way through the match and before you know it, the Usos are in full gear and putting in the work as only they can do. *With Gallows down and out at ringside, they focus on Anderson and he eats a 1D to end the match. RESULT: THE USOS WIN BY PINFALL The camera catches sight of AJ Styles high up in the arena. He looks less than pleased with the outcome of that match as he turns and walks through an exit. A video replay of The Brand’s attack on L.A.Knight at Fastlane in which they reportedly broke his ankle is shown. Kayla Braxton is backstage with The Brand and they’re happy about Theory’s victory but especially what they did to L.A. Knight at Fastlane. Their joy begins to fade when Adam Pearce shows up. Pearce says next week there will be a four way match to find a new opponent for Logan Paul and the United States Championship at Crown Jewel. McAfee demands to know who the four participants are but Pearce says he can find out next week like everyone else. REY MYSTERIO VS ROMAN REIGNS © W/PAUL HEYMAN *Rey starts off with fast offense, hitting and moving to wear down Reigns bit by bit. That works for awhile until the hit and run attacks are met by a stinging right hand. *Reigns seizes control and punishes Mysterio with a series of power moves, using his size and power advantage but no matter what he hits him with, Rey won’t stay down for a three count. *Reigns begins to badmouth Rey as he delivers kicks and stomps, telling him to acknowledge the Tribal Chief and lay down, that it’s over. Mysterio responds with a flurry of offense which puts Reigns on his heels. Mysterio presses his advantage, hitting some of his traditional offense and even a 619! 1 2 Kickout! *Heyman looks like he’s going to have a stroke. Rey goes to the outside and is ready for a West Coast Pop but when he soars, so does Reigns, with a Superman Punch. Now, Roman looks angry and delivers more power moves intent on not just beating his challenger but humiliating him. *Reigns hits a series of big clotheslines before whipping Rey into the ropes. Rey hurdles him but on the return rebound from the ropes, Reigns hits a spear and gets the three count. RESULT: ROMAN REIGNS RETAINS THE WWE UNDISPUTED UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP BY PINFALL The rest of the Bloodline runs down to the ring and are circling Mysterio like sharks and then Roman gives his decree. He wants Rey’s mask. The Usos hold up Mysterio by the arms as Roman moves in to unmask Rey until…. The LWO sprints down to the ring, chairs in hand, and the Bloodline ditches the ring except for Solo who takes a couple hits across the back before he dumps out as well. The LWO has protected their leader’s honor but the Bloodline doesn’t look done with them as the show ends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimberly Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 A video recap of last week’s Raw is shown focusing on Becky Lynch getting attacked by Ronda Rousey, Rex Steiner’s debut victory versus the Miz and the mind games between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton. Welcome to Monday Night Raw OCTOBER WEEK 3 AMERICAN AIRLINES CENTER DALLAS, TX John Cena comes down to the ring and says he couldn’t help but overhear Finn Balor calling him a coward last week. That’s a mighty big insult coming from a guy who can’t keep that title on his shoulder without the help of three people who look like you ordered Scott Hall, Sherri Martel, and Eddie Guerrerro off Wish. Cena says that at Crown Jewel, Finn Balor’s in trouble because you can call Cena a lot of things but you will NOT call him cowardly and WHEN he climbs that ladder and pulls down that 17th World Championship, you’ll all be able to say once again that the Champ is here! Cena leaves the ring and just as he gets to the back of the aisle he passes by Gunther on his way to the ring. The two share a momentary glance before they both go their separate ways. The Ring General defends his Intercontinental Championship right now! DOLPH ZIGGLER VS GUNTHER © *Dolph shows off as he often does and gives Gunther a tremendous challenge but in the end, it’s Gunther’s power which wears down the former World Champion. A series of brutal chops followed by a side suplex allow the champion to punish Ziggler more before ending the match with his patented powerbomb. RESULT: GUNTHER RETAINS THE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP BY PINFALL In the Judgment Day’s locker room Rhea Ripley is not happy. She informs Priest and Dom Dom that she has scheduled a rematch with the New Day and after last week’s fiasco she will personally be in their corner to make sure there are no more…mistakes. ~~~~COMMERCIAL BREAK~~~~ We return from the commercial to find the Viking Raiders and DIY in the middle of a brawl backstage. Graves says things are breaking down early here on Raw. The two teams are eventually separated by a host of officials. CANDICE LARAE VS NIKKI CROSS *Nikki Cross shows her demented side in this by brutalizing the Poison Pixie, including putting her in a Tree of Woe and hitting several running knees. Candice can barely stand and leaves herself open to a running neckbreaker which gets the pinfall. RESULT: NIKKI CROSS WINS BY PINFALL At the announcer’s table they begin to talk about how out of control Nikki Cross is when a staffer brings a small box like last week. They open it to find a pair of eyeglasses. Both announcers look confused as we go into the break. ~~~~COMMERCIAL BREAK~~~~ INDUS SHEER/JINDER MAHAL VS ALPHA ACADEMY *Jinder has his men ready and they use their power game to beat on both members of Alpha Academy. Even Otis can’t overcome these two monsters in the ring and they hit a double spinebuster on him. Gable is taken out by Veer with a running shoulder block, sending him off the apron as the ref counts to three. RESULT: INDUS SHEER WINS BY PINFALL ~~~~COMMERCIAL BREAK~~~~ The Man has come around to Dallas! Becky says she’s always been someone who’d rather fight than talk. And since Ronnie has decidedd that she wants to pick a fight, Ronda Rousey get your ass out here and lets go! Ronda does come out but only comes down to ringside. She says she sent a message last week but Becky must be too stupid to understand it, so Ronda will say it slower this time. That Women’s World Championship will belong to Ronda very soon and there isn’t a damn thing that Becky can do about it. Becky tries to goad Ronda into the ring... Raw’s Managing Director Stephanie McMahon comes out and says there won’t be any fighting tonight because what she sees in front of her are dollar signs. This is a match that the world wants to see and they’ll see it….at Crown Jewel. Becky Lynch versus Ronda Rousey for the Women’s World Championship…only on Peacock! ~~~~COMMERCIAL BREAK~~~~ Drew McIntyre is in gorilla ready to go out for his match when Rex Steiner approaches him and wants to thank Drew for having his back last week. McIntyre says if it pissed off Miz and Reed it was well worth it. Steiner says if he can ever repay the favor he’ll be there. MUSTAPHA ALI VS DREW MCINTYRE *McIntyre takes a few minutes to get his hands on Ali but when he does it’s all but over. He dominates the smaller man as if he’s looking at the Miz every time he hits Ali. He ends it with a Claymore and hooks the leg. RESULT: DREW MCINTYRE WINS BY PINFALL Imperium is walking backstage, all in a good mood from Gunther’s successful title defense when Ricochet approaches. He says that was a great match but he can give Gunther a better one. Gunther considers for a moment and nods, telling Ricochet if he has a death wish, he’s more than happy to help. Corey Graves tells us that next week he has secured a live double interview with both Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton ahead of their rematch at Crown Jewel. ~~~~COMMERCIAL BREAK~~~~ DAMIAN PRIEST AND DOMINIK MYSTERIO W/RHEA RIPLEY VS THE NEW DAY *Rhea keeps her promise by getting involved early and often. New Day is at a complete disadvantage and yet they dig deep and turn the match around. *Mysterio is on the losing end of their comeback as Woods and Kingston show why they’re one of the best teams ever with quick tags and fast action. Finally Priest and Rhea stage a distraction for the ref. While he’s tied up with her, Priest flattens Woods with a boot to the face, and then…. *Finn Balor runs down and hits a Coup d’Grace before rolling out of the ring. Priest ties up Kofi in the corner as Dominik makes the cover for the win. RESULT: DAMIAN PRIEST AND DOMINIK MYSTERIO WIN BY PINFALL The Judgment Day look like they’re not ready to stop their revenge on the New Day when the crowd pops. John Cena slides into the ring and begins fighting all the men of Judgment Day, sending Priest, then Mysterio over the top with clotheslines before turning to Balor who looks uncertain before Rhea steps in front. Balor is taunting Cena from behind her when Kofi and Woods get up and shove Balor towards Cena who scoops him into an Attitude Adjustment. Rhea ditches and pulls Balor out as the babyfaces hold the ring and Judgment Day seeks more revenge. Finn Balor escaped John Cena tonight, but there will be no escaping him at Crown Jewel!! Good Night from Dallas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipers Pit Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 (edited) OCTOBER WEEK 3 AMICA MUTUAL PAVILION PROVIDENCE, RI Kelly Kincaid opens the show and introduces Ronda Rousey. She asks why Rousey attacked Becky Lynch and Rousey says that’s obvious to anyone who isn’t an idiot but since she’s surrounded by them she’ll explain. In all the time she’s been in WWE all she’s wanted is to be the champion. Becky is just a stepping stone, and now she’s gotten what she wanted. At Crown Jewel, she will end the reign of the Man and then she’ll destroy the entire Women’s division and every woman in it. A video highlighting Bayley is shown. LYRA VALKYRIA VS SHAYNA BASZLER *Valkyria puts up a good fight but Baszler’s fighting skills are too much and once she locks in the Kirifuda Clutch it’s all over. RESULT: SHAYNA BASZLER WINS BY SUBMISSION Next week’s main event is announced. It will be Iyo Sky taking on Naomi of the Bloodline. BIANCA BELAIR VS ISLA DAWN *Belair withstands an early barrage from Dawn before she makes a comeback and ends it with a KOD. RESULT: BIANCA BELAIR WINS BY PINFALL PIPER NIVEN VS RAQUEL RODRIGUEZ *Two powerhouses show off their strength with neither gaining an advantage. The action spills out to ringside and Raquel begins to build momentum. *She dodges when Piper charges the post, then backs up Niven with a few right hands. Niven is teetering and is rolled back into the ring. *Soey Stark runs down to the ring and as Rodriguez is climbing back into the ring, she attacks her causing a disqualification. RESULT: RAQUEL RODRIGUEZ WINS BY DISQUALIFICATION Niven and Stark continue their assault on Raquel, leaving her down in a heap. They stand over her with their arms raised as the show ends.

Pipers Pit Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 A video replay is shown of last week’s Universal Championship match that saw Roman Reigns retain against Rey Mysterio OCTOBER WEEK 3 BOK CENTER TULSA, OK The Almighty Bobby Lashley is already in the ring as SmackDown kicks off and says we now know who he’ll challenge at Crown Jewel and the more he thought about it, the more he thinks….why wait? Roman, Tribal Chief, Head of the Table, whatever you call yourself they’ll be calling you FORMER Universal Champion soon enough so just come on down here and let’s get this over with! …… Ladies and Gentlemen! The Wiseman Paul Heyman walks out alone but stays at the back of the aisle. He says unfortunately the Tribal Chief is not here tonight and even if he was here, Lashley doesn’t call any shots against the Head of the Table. At Crown Jewel, it will go down just as it has for over 1000 days so on behalf of the Reignsing, defending, undisputed WWE Universal Champion….the answer is no. Heyman smirks as Lashley just grows more annoyed as we go to break. RIDGE HOLLAND AND BUTCH VS CEDRIC ALEXANDER AND SHELTON BENJAMIN *Ridge starts the match and refuses to tag in Butch, telling him he needs to watch. There is a small opening where Cedric and Shelton have the advantage but Holland bounces back and dominates them both, ending the match with Northern Grit. RESULT: RIDGE HOLLAND AND BUTCH WIN BY PINFALL Kayla Braxton is backstage with Bianca Belair. Bianca admits to being frustrated lately and if Charlotte Flair thinks she needs to earn a title shot, she’ll earn it tonight when she gives Tamina the Kiss of Death! Adam Pearce is in his office with Pretty Deadly. He says he can see they’re still smiling about what they did to the Rough Riders but he has news that will make everyone smile. At Crown Jewel it will be Pretty Deadly versus the Rough Riders in a Bunkhouse Rules match. He wishes them good luck as they protest in futility. R-TRUTH VS OMOS W/MVP *Truth and Omos meet in the middle of the ring, with Truth comically looking up into the face of the giant. Truth simply says ‘you win’, and lays down. Omos seems amused and plants a foot on his chest for the quick victory. RESULT: OMOS WINS BY PINFALL A vignette is shown of Jake the Snake Roberts in the Snake Pit. He tells us that he wants to thank Charlotte Flair for what she did at Fastlane. The WWE Women’s Championship was an albatross, Hindering Asuka’s transformation, her de-evolution into her true self. Now she is free to open her black heart to the true meaning of evil. Roberts says he can’t wait to see her blossom, and when she does, nobody will be ready for her. “Trust me.” BIANCA BELAIR VS TAMINA *Two powerhouses who aren’t able to gain a complete advantage over the other through most of the match. *Tamina knocks Bianca back into the corner with a running knee but when she goes for a running splash, Bianca moves. Tamina hits chest-first and staggers back into a KOD. RESULT: BIANCA BELAIR WINS BY PINFALL Kayla Braxton catches up with Paul Heyman backstage and questions him why he’d turn down Lashley’s challenge. Is the Bloodline scared? Heyman scoffs it off and says if Lashley is so interested in fighting, he can fight Solo next week and then when he doesn’t make it to Crown Jewel he’ll only have himself to blame. Lacey Evans is in her dressing room, pacing angrily. She says she’s had enough of Zelina Vega and all the people like her. Lazy criminals who want to steal off the hardworking tables across America. Next week this ends and after she beats Zelina, she’ll personally deport her back to where she belongs! Backstage AJ Styles is leaning against a wall when the rest of the OC approach asking him where he’s been and what his problem is. AJ raises his voice, saying his problem is he’s surrounded by losers. This is not who they are. They need to get back to what made the OC the most feared faction in the business and if they can’t do it, then they’re out. He storms off leaving them all sharing a look. BAYLEY VS GIGI DOLIN *Gigi’s aggressive style has Bayley on her heels early on but the Role Model settles in and begins to take over the match. *She taunts Dolin as she climbs to the top, signaling she’ll go for a big elbow when… *Iyo Sky runs down and shoves Bayley off the top. The referee calls for the bell. RESULT: BAYLEY WINS BY DISQUALIFICATION Iyo isn’t done. She gets in the ring and mounts Bayley, throwing right hands. Meanwhile…. Dolin gets up and sees what’s happened. Her eyes widen with anger as she grabs Iyo by the hair, pulling her off Bayley and hitting a knee to the back of her head. Iyo is out on her knees and Dolin locks in an STF on the helpless Iyo. Bayley sees the look on Gigi’s face and rolls out of the ring, wanting no part of this as officials try to get her off Iyo. Logan Paul comes down and sits with the announcers ahead of the fatal four way match to name his next challenger. One by one they’re announced. Tben Adam Pearce walks out and says the fourth man is Smackdown’s newest Superstar…. NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR US TITLE ILJA DRAGUNOV VS MONTEZ FORD VS SANTOS ESCOBAR VS CARMELO HAYES *Athleticism and high flying attacks are shown off left and right in this match as all four men go at one another and through the course of the match they’re all paired off. *Half way through the match they go through a series of close falls with the count being broken up at the last second. *Dragunov hits Torpedo Moscow on Escobar but before he can go for the pin, Ford tosses him out of the ring and jumps up to the top rope for a frog splash but Hayes pulls Escobar out of the way and Ford bellyflops the mat. *Dragunov climbs onto the apron and Hayes hits him with an enziguri, Escobar and Hayes brawl for a few moments before Hayes ducks a clothesline with a matrix-like dodge, then dropkicks Escobar out of the ring. By now, Ford is on his feet but Hayes kicks him in the gut and hits a ‘perfect’ Fisherman suplex with a bridge for the 123. RESULT: CARMELO HAYES WINS BY PINFALL Carmelo Hayes climbs the ropes in celebration as Logan Paul stands from his seat and the two lock eyes as Paul holds the United States title up in the air.

Kimberly Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 A video replay of last week is shown highlighting Stephanie McMahon announcing the Women’s World Championship match at Crown Jewel between Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey. After that we see Judgment Day circling New Day when John Cena saves the day. Welcome to Monday Night Raw. OCTOBER WEEK 4 BON SECOURS WELLNESS ARENA GREENVILLE, SC ZOEY STARK VS RAQUEL RODRIGUEZ *Raquel’s strength versus Zoey’s tenacity is the story of the match. It goes mostly Raquel’s way until Zoey clips her knee from behind and then goes to work on it. Mostly grounded, Raquel is open to Zoey’s constant attacks. *Raquel begins to fight back and gets Zoey in position for a Tejana Bomb but the leg gives out, and Zoey connects with a knee under the chin for the victory. As the bell rings she immediately continues her attack. RESULT: ZOEY STARK WINS BY PINFALL Piper Niven hits the ring and joins Zoey in attacking Raquel. The double team doesn’t last long as Liv Morgan runs down to the ring and evens the odds. In a few moments, Piper and Zoey are on the outside looking in and none too happy about it. ~~~~COMMERCIAL BREAK~~~~ Backstage, Byron Saxton is with the Miz and Bronson Reed. He asks how they’re preparing for Drew McIntyre at Crown Jewel but the Miz laughs it off, saying when you look at Bronson Reed it’s clear he doesn’t need to prepare and at Crown Jewel, Drew McIntyre will learn that first hand. SLEX VS REX STEINER *Steiner dominantes a quick and decisive match. He manhandles his opponent with ease, finally ending it with a cross-cross Steinerline. RESULT: REX STEINER WINS BY PINFALL ~~~~COMMERCIAL BREAK~~~~ We go to a live interview with Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes conducted by Corey Graves. Each man is in their own locker room. Orton says that this match didn’t have to happen. Cody just can’t learn from history. He can’t help himself but to live up to his father’s legacy. That’s the difference between them. Orton has surpassed his father, he doesn’t live in the shadow. Cody replies that Randy is making a big mistake thinking he’s the same man he took under his wing in Legacy. That guy doesn’t exist anymore and it wasn’t Stardust or Dashing Cody Rhodes that broke him, it was that shadow. That much is true. But that’s not who he is anymore and furthermore this match is happening because Randy has spent a career believing his own hype and its damn time that someone shows the Legend Killer, the Viper, the Apex Predator and any other name you want to use, that times have changed. Orton just smiles slyly and tells Cody that he better kiss Brandy and Liberty goodbye before he gets on the plane because he may not have the chance to do it after. Cody stands up, calm and gets closer to the camera before telling Randy he better be ready for anything because Cody damn sure will be. ~~~~COMMERCIAL BREAK~~~~ RICOCHET VS GUNTHER © *Ricochet starts off fast with his high octane offense, hitting the champion from various angles and keeping Gunther off his gameplan. That all comes to an end when Gunther chops him mid air. *Gunther punishes Ricochet as he has all his challengers but Ricochet makes an unexpected comeback, ducking a chop and firing back a series of jumping forearms into Gunther’s head and hitting a springboard which gets a two count. *Gunther looks bewildered and angry and when Ricochet goes for it again, he catches the challenger mid-air and rams him into the corner then powerslams him. From there it’s all Gunther and ends with the accustomed powerbomb. RESULT GUNTHER RETAINS THE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP BY PINFALL Byron Saxton meets Gunther in the ring and congratulates him on another tough victory. Gunther scoffs at that description. He says there is nothing tough about it. In fact he’s tired of wasting his time, so he has decided you will not see him until Survivor Series where he will issue an open challenge. Hopefully someone back there will give him a real fight! ~~~~COMMERCIAL BREAK~~~~ A vignette of Ronda Rousey in deep training for her Women’s World Championship match is shown. Rousey uses a mix of weight lifting, judo, and mixed martial arts and looks dominant. NIKKI CROSS AND VALHALLA VS KATANA CHANCE AND KAYDEN CARTER *Chance and Carter have shown their true tag acumen with quick tags and double teams in their career. That goes out the window in this one as Nikki and Valhalla brutalize them throughout the match with little care for their own safety let alone their opponents. *The two wild women show good teamwork and show hints of enjoying what they’re doing. Nikki hits a guillotine elbow off the second rope that gets the win. RESULT: NIKKI CROSS AND VALHALLA WIN BY PINFALL Backstage Drew McIntyre is walking when he stops and we see the Miz. The Miz walks up slowly to McIntyre, and without a word, slaps him hard across the face. Drew’s eyes widen in fury as the Miz turns and takes off running, with McIntyre giving chase. ~~~~COMMERCIAL BREAK~~~~ Raw returns to Vic and Corey hyping up tonight’s main event at the announce table when Corey abruptly stops talking in stunned silence because he sees someone approach the announce table… Maria Kanellis comes up to Cory and beckons him with her finger. Graves grabs a microphone and meets Maria ringside and asks her what she is doing here on Raw? Maria says that when she heard that Stephanie McMahon was in charge around here, she saw her opportunity to come home to WWE and to Raw, because she’s looking. Corey asks Maria what she’s looking for and Maria smiles seductively, runs her finger up Corey’s chest and says “a man”. Graves looks nervous and asks what man. Maria smiles and looks like she is going to kiss Graves, but instead pulls the mic up to her lips and says, “a man who will satisfy ALL of my needs.” Maria Kanellis winks at Corey and waves at Vic Joseph and then walks to the back. Maria Kanellis has returned to Raw and is on a mission for a man to satisfy her…. “needs.” Raw’s main event is coming up right now. JUDGMENT DAY W/RHEA RIPLEY VS JOHN CENA AND THE NEW DAY *All six men are legal early in the match but it settles down into Woods taking a beating in the Judgment Day corner. *Kingston gets the tag and flips the momentum of the match. Working against Priest and Mysterio exclusively. Woods gets back in and continues the offense before tagging in Cena. *Cena is full of energy, whipping Mysterio into the ropes before hitting his patented shoulder block. He sets up for the Five Knuckle Shuffle, but what he hasn’t seen is that Balor tagged himself in on the Irish Whip. *Balor hits a backstabber on Cena, and then rolls him up, grabbing the second rope for leverage and scoring a quick cheap victory. RESULT: JUDGMENT DAY WINS BY PINFALL Cena sits in the ring with a frustrated expression, made worse by the smirk on Balor’s face. Cena knows that he’s to blame for the loss because he allowed himself to lose focus. As the Judgment day heads back up the ramp, the GOAT just watches. Is this a preview of what is to come at Crown Jewel?!? We cut to the backstage as Miz is sprinting and looking over his shoulder. Drew McIntyre is on his heels as the Miz reaches the doors to the arena but they’re locked. He turns, cornered as McIntyre says he’s going to enjoy this. As McIntyre stalks towards Miz….. Bronson Reed runs up from behind and throws Drew into the locked doors head first. He backs up and splashes him against the doors. McIntyre slides down the door onto his rear and looks dazed. Reed takes a running start and charges McIntyre, using his own backstage to smash Drew’s head into the door one more time. McIntyre slumps onto the concrete floor as Reed looms over him and the Miz just smiles. Bronson Reed may have just taken Drew McIntyre out of the picture before Crown Jewel! How in the world can McIntyre survive this fight in less than two weeks? Goodnight from Greenville! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipers Pit Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 (edited) OCTOBER WEEK 4 FREEMAN COLISEUM SAN ANTONIO, TX The Man, Becky Lynch is already in the ring, pacing with a microphone in her hand. She says that she saw the very impressive workout video on Raw of Ronda Rousey but she’d like a closer look so why doesn’t Ronda come on out and we’ll see how impressive she is! Rousey takes no time to head to the ring, sans entrance music and as soon as she slides in the fight it on! It only lasts for a few moments as each woman gets the other in the corner and has a chance to pummel the other. Lynch uses mudhole stomp kicks, while Rousey goes for more traditional right and left punches to the body. Sonya DeVille comes out with a ton of security and they finally break them up but by their expressions, Crown Jewel will not only be for the title, but for personal pride. A replay is shown of the brawl and the breakup as Cole and Graves hype the upcoming Women’s World Championship match. ALBA FYRE VS STEVIE TURNER *Alba Fyre makes some quick work of NXT’s Stevie Turner. Fyre takes pleasure in making the most of her five counts before breaking several choke holds and ends it with a good looking Gory Bomb. RESULT: ALBA FYRE WINS BY PINFALL Kelly Kinkaid is with Lita. The Hall of Famer tells us that she can’t believe how chaotic Raw’s women’s division has been and if she’s being honest, she loves it. It reminds her of a pretty popular bygone era in WWE and it makes her want to get extreme. So much so, that she’d like to get extreme next week. How about it, Shayna? You wanna get extreme? BLAIR DAVENPORT VS CANDICE LARAE *Davenport makes a good showing for herself, putting LaRae in a lot of danger but the Poison Pixie battles back and when the opportunity arises, she hits a dropkick off the second rope followed by a hurricanrana. She hooks the leg and holds Davenport down for three. RESULT: CANDICE LARAE WINS BY PINFALL NAOMI VS IYO SKY *Naomi is in firm control in the beginning of the match and does not relinquish the advantage until Iyo begins to claw back into the match with a series of strikes and kicks. Even then, Naomi uses some underhanded tactics out of the referee’s view to keep her down. *Naomi whips Iyo into the ropes and goes for the Rear View, but Iyo hangs on and then dropkicks Naomi in the back and puts her in 619 position on the ropes. Iyo takes a running jump onto her back and Naomi flops onto the mat. Iyo climbs the ropes and hits her moonsault for the win. RESULT: IYO SKY WINS BY PINFALL Iyo quickly escapes the ring before Tamina, who has run down the aisle, can get in. The announcers remark how Iyo has escaped the Bloodline’s trap, but she seems to have a lot of people gunning her for now.

Pipers Pit Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 A video replay is shown of Paul Heyman setting up tonight’s main event between Bobby Lashley and Solo Sikoa. We then see the debut of Carmelo Hayes and the staredown between him and United States Champion Logan Paul to end the show. OCTOBER WEEK 4 FROST BANK CENTER SAN ANTONIO, TX The Brand comes down to the ring. McAfee says that he thought it was appropriate to come out and to settle everyone down a little. All week long it’s Carmelo this and Carmelo that. Well let us not forget we have standing here three one of ones. Three future Hall of Famers. They are the future, not some rookie who got lucky. Paul takes the mic and says he promised a big announcement and he always delivers. Right now he wants to show his generous side and he wants to give Carmelo Hayes the chance to avoid the biggest mistake of his life. They don’t have to fight for the United States Championship at Crown Jewel. Carmelo can continue his career with more mediocre victories and be happy with that. In fact….. Carmelo Hayes comes out and says he’s not making any mistake, he’s making history. Logan Paul is a hell of an athlete, all of The Brand are great athletes but none of them are…HIM. McAfee says if he’s so sure, then tonight he can take on Austin Theory and Grayson Waller, if he can find a partner. LA Knight comes out and after explaining whose show this is (L….A….Knight's) he says he thought he heard about a chance to punch two of these idiots in the mouth tonight and to inflict some blunt force trauma and he’s alllllways down for that, yeah! The match is set for later tonight! LACEY EVANS VS ZELINA VEGA *The dislike is evident as these two finally clash after weeks of derogatory statements by Evans. She controls the early going with stiff shots and taking liberties with the rules. Vega however digs deep and fights back. *As much as Evans tries to bully her, Vega fires shot after shot, backing Evans into the corner. When the referee tries to break them up, Vega blocks a cheap shot over the ref’s shoulder and continues her offense, slinging Lacey by hair across the room. *Evans is on her heels but Vega doesn’t slow down, hitting the old favorite where she slams Evans’ face into the turnbuckle ten times with the crowd counting in Spanish along with Zelina. Evans staggers to the middle of the ring, punching the air. Zelina bounds off the ropes and grabs Lacey’s hair, planting her face first in the ring, then jumps off the middle of the second rope with a moonsault. She makes the cover and beats Lacey in the middle of the ring. RESULT: ZELINA VEGA WINS BY PINFALL In the Bloodline’s Lounge they’re all assembled. Roman Reigns is solemn and serious. He looks to Solo and tells him that he knows what he has to do tonight. Solo nods while taping his thumb. Cole tells us tonight is going to be nothing but a war. Kayla Braxton is backstage with Gigi Dolin. Kayla asks why she attacked Iyo Sky and Gigi just smiles. After a moment she looks directly into the camera. She says that it wasn’t about Iyo, it wasn’t even about Bayley. It’s about…”her”. “She’s” the problem. “She” is the one who won’t leave Gigi alone. Kayla asks who she’s talking about and Gigi simply says ‘you’ll see.’ ASHLEY VOX VS CHARLOTTE FLAIR © *Flair dominates her ‘credible challenger’ from start to finish, showing a slight nasty streak in attacking her knee until she slaps on the Figure-8 for the win. RESULT: CHARLOTTE FLAIR RETAINS THE WWE WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP BY SUBMISSION In his office, Adam Pearce tells us that next week at Crown Jewel there will be a ten woman battle royal and the winner will face Charlotte Flair at Survivor Series! THE LWO VS THE GOOD BROTHERS *The LWO is high flying and fast offense and that works for a few minutes until Gallows swats Wilde out of the air like a fly. The Good Brothers show a level of aggression which has not been seen in a long time. Barrett suggests that AJ Styles “pep talk” is the reason. *Regardless, Anderson and Gallows dominate the match and end it with the Magic Killer. RESULT: THE GOOD BROTHERS WIN BY PINFALL A vignette is shown in which there is a black screen for a few moments until the screen turns blazingly white and for just a moment we glimpse the silhouettes of two very large men. LA KNIGHT AND CARMELO HAYES VS AUSTIN THEORY AND GRAYSON WALLER *Theory and Waller cheat to hold the advantage early on but when Knight gets the hot tag he changes that in an instant. Knight controls the match and after a few minutes, Hayes tags in and gets in some of his spotlight offense on Waller. *Theory tries to get involved but Knight stops him cold and clotheslines him over the top rope. Left alone, Waller puts on a comeback but Hayes puts an end to that with a kick to the stomach and hitting a bridged fisherman suplex Cole calls the Him-Plex for the win. RESULT: L.A. KNIGHT AND CARMELO HAYES WIN BY PINFALL Knight and Hayes hold the ring and both climb opposite corners to celebrate their victory. Kayla Braxton is backstage with Rey Mysterio. He tells her that he wishes Bobby Lashley well at Crown Jewel but make no mistake….he remembers what Roman Reigns tried to do to him. He tried to steal his mask…his honor and one way or another, he’ll get his hands on Roman Reigns again! Backstage Charlotte is all smiles but that fades when Bianca steps up. Bianca congratulates her on that hard fought victory. Charlotte rolls her eyes and tells Bianca that if she wants a title shot, stop bitching and win the battle royal. The champ walks off and Bianca ends the segment with ‘You bet I will.” A comical vignette is shown of Pretty Deadly preparing for Crown Jewel’s Bunkhouse Rules match by training on a ranch. Typical hijinks ensue with them getting filthy and miserable around the animals, but they persevere and overcome the challenges of the chores. They hug in celebration then quickly separate, aghast at the mess they’re in. BOBBY LASHLEY VS SOLO SIKOA W/PAUL HEYMAN *Power versus power and there is no mercy on either side. They brutalize each other but neither man can gain much of an advantage. Lashey gets a close two count off of a powerslam but Solo kicks out at the last second. *Solo surprises Lashley with a flying shoulder block and wears down the Almighty with a series of strong attacks, before he rears his arm back and swings for a Samoan Spike, but Lashley ducks and puts Solo in the Hurt Lock. Heyman is freaking out when…. *The Usos hit the ring and both attack Lashley causing the referee to ring the bell. RESULT: BOBBY LASHLEY WINS BY DISQUALIFICATION As the bell rings, all three begin attacking Lashley but in a fit of strength, Lashley begins fighting them all off. He spinebusters Jey, military presses Jimmy, and then ducks an attack by Solo and clotheslines him over the top. Lashley turns and locks eyes with Roman Reigns who has come down the aisle. Roman slowly starts to crawl onto the apron, but Heyman runs over and does all he can to pull Roman off, begging him not to do this, to handle it at Crown Jewel. It seems to get through to the Tribal Chief and he backs off, but the look between he and Lashley says it all about their match next week.

Kimberly Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 A recap of last week’s main event is shown which saw World Heavyweight Champion Finn Balor score a cheap win over John Cena. It ends with Corey Graves questioning if this is what we’ll see at Crown Jewel. NOVEMBER WEEK 1 MOHEGAN SUN AT CASEY PLAZA WILKES-BARRE, PA The show opens in the office of the Managing Director, Stephanie McMahon. She says as much as she hates to do it, she has to open the show with bad news. Due to injuries sustained at the hands of Bronson Reed, Drew McIntyre isn’t medically cleared and thus his match at Crown Jewel is sadly cancel….. McIntyre barges in, with an apology but he says he doesn’t give a damn about medical clearance. All he knows is he wants to kick Bronson Reed’s fat head off his shoulders and he will do anything to make that happen. He’ll sign a waiver. He’ll sign it in blood that WWE and Raw aren’t responsible for what happens to him. But he’s asking, begging, pleading right now. He wants Bronson Reed at Crown Jewel and he wants it to be Last Man Standing. Stephanie considers his argument, before standing and offering her hand. She tells him she’ll have the paperwork drawn up immediately. He shakes her hand and leaves the office. VIKING RAIDERS W/VALHALLA VS DIY *The Vikings are in firm control while they double team Gargano but when Ciampa gets the tag he changes that. He goes from one side of the ring to the other hitting running forearms into Erik then Ivar over and over. *Gargano recovers and together knock Ivar off the apron with a double dropkick, then turn their attention to Erik, nailing him with Meeting in the Middle for the win. RESULT: DIY WIN BY PINFALL Byron Saxton is backstage with Lita. He asks her about the challenge she made on Superstars for Shayna Baszler. Before she can answer…. Baszler comes flying into the scene with a forearm to the back of Lita’s head. From there it’s ground and pound, with Shayna asking Lita if she still wants to get extreme. She finally dismounts her with a grin, telling Lita she’ll see her on Wednesday. ~~~~COMMERCIAL BREAK~~~~ John Cena is in his locker room. He beckons the camera to come a little closer, speaking softly. He says he wants to thank Finn Balor for last week. Because it’s so easy to get caught up in the WWE Universe and the goosebumps and the smell of the mat, especially when you’ve been gone more than you’ve been here. But Finn Balor gave him a slap in thare face last week. It reminded him that this is still work. And when you don’t have yourself focused, bad things can happen. Well Finn, bad things are gonna happen to you this Saturday at Crown Jewel, because son you done woke up a sleeping giant. Everyone talks about making history but at Crown Jewel he’s going to do it. John Cena, seventeen-time world champion, and he has Finn Balor to thank for it. RAQUEL RODRIGUEZ AND LIV MORGAN VS ZOEY STARK AND PIPER NIVEN *Raquel remembers the attack last week and begins the match strong, throwing Zoey around and even launching attacks on Niven. Morgan gets the tag and continues working over Stark but Zoey forces her into the corner where Niven tags in. Niven decimates Morgan in the corner with her enormous size advantage. *Stark and Niven tag in and out several times, but Liv has hope. She scoots through the legs of Stark and dives for the tag…but the referee was busy with Niven as a distraction, and disallows it. Niven runs around the ring and yanks Raquel down and runs her into the post. Meanwhile, Stark hits her Z-360 and makes the cover. RESULT: ZOEY STARK AND PIPER NIVEN WIN BY PINFALL Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are backstage just chatting but they stop when they run into Indus Sheer. Jinder begins to run them both down, calling them paper champions and saying they would never risk their titles against his men. Kevin Owens cuts him off and says he has no problem punching any of them in the face. He asks Sami if he’s busy tonight, and before Sami can answer a manic Owens says they’re free so tonight they’ll see them out in the ring. Jinder grins, thinking this was easier than he thought and he leads his men away. ~~~~COMMERCIAL BREAK~~~~ SHINSUKE NAKAMURA VS LUDWIG KAISER W/GIOVANNI VINCI *Kaiser has an early advantage thanks to Vinci on the outside but that turns around quickly when Nakamura begins his strong style attacks. Kaiser doesn't have an answer for it, and when Vinci tries to distract Nakamura but he gets a running knee for his trouble when Shinsuke moves and Kaiser collides with him. *Kaiser spins around and is dropped to his knees with a spinning kick to the stomach. Nakamura moves around behind and hits the Kinshasa for the win. RESULT: SHINSUKE NAKAMURA WINS BY PINFALL Trish Stratus exits the medical room, presumably having checked on Lita, when Shayna Baszler walks up. Shayna taunts Trish asking how extreme the pain is for Lita. Trish says she can find out tonight and slaps Shayna across the face before challenging her to a match tonight. Shayna just runs her hand over the cheek which was struck and grins through her mouthpiece with a nod. ~~~~COMMERCIAL BREAK~~~~ - Cody Rhodes comes down to the ring. He says that since he lost to Randy Orton at Fastlane he’s been replaying that night over and over in his mind and when it comes down to it, he has nobody to blame but himself. He knows Randy Orton, and he should have seen it coming. Cody says he’s talked a lot about finishing the story but there’s another story called Legacy. He wouldn’t be where he is, or who he is, if it wasn’t for Legacy and Randy Orton, but that was a long time ago and he and Randy are different men now. He’d hoped that Randy would face him man to man, but that was too much to hope for. Randy took the easy way out. This Saturday at Crown Jewel, there will be no more easy way outs. Randy Orton is going to have to stand there like a man and fight for a victory because Cody is damn sure coming to fight. Cody reminds us there is only way to kill a viper and that’s cut its head off and sometimes that comes outta’ nowhere. ~~~~COMMERCIAL BREAK~~~~ A video of Women’s World Champion Becky Lynch training for her title defense against Ronda Rousey is shown. Lynch mainly uses crossfit and light weight lifting, a different approach than Rousey used last week. TRISH STRATUS VS SHAYNA BASZLER *Trish uses her speed advantage to hit and run and early on she frustrates Shayna into making mistakes and leaving herself open. Shayna corrects her mistake and lures Trish into making a mistake of her own and pounces. *Shayna shows no mercy as she picks Trish apart, first an arm, then a leg. Shayna is enjoying herself and begins mouthing to the fans, telling them to help their hero. But she turns around right into a Chick Kick, but she catches it and immediately falls to the ground, bringing Trish down with her and grapevining the leg into a submission which forces Trish to tap. RESULT: SHAYNA BASZLER WINS BY SUBMISSION ~~~~COMMERCIAL BREAK~~~~ The announcers run down the four Raw matches for this Saturday’s Crown Jewel. INDUS SHEER W/JINDER MAHAL VS KEVIN OWENS AND SAMI ZAYN © *The champs know they can’t be isolated in the enemy corner and they keep Sanga in their own with quick tags and good double teams. Mahal outside the ring is barking orders and his men react. *Veer enters the ring and drags Sami to their corner and gets the tag. Indus Sheer takes out all their anger on Zayn for several minutes but with the crowd’s support he makes the tag to Owens. *KO is wild, hitting anything near him. He gives Veer a stunner, then Sanga gets one. But he doesn’t see Mahal slide into the ring with a chair and he drops KO with a shot across the back, and then jabs the chair into Sami’s ribs, knocking him down too. RESULT: KEVIN OWENS AND SAMI ZAYN RETAIN THEIR UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP BY DISQUALIFICATION The bell is still ringing as Mahal and his men continue their three on two attack on the champions. Finally KO and Sami are left face down in the ring as Mahal raises the arms of Indus Sheer. We cut to the backstage where all four members of the Judgment Day, including Rhea Ripley are standing over John Cena who has obviously been beaten. Cena tries to get up and they all begin stomping him. Damian Priest picks Cena up by the throat and chokeslams him onto a cargo cart with no give to it. Cena almost rolls off onto the floor but Dominik Mysterio makes sure to get some cheap punches in and then acts like he’s a big shot. With Cena on the floor again, Balor crouches next to him, shoving the title into Cena’s face and telling him he’ll NEVER have this. Good Night from Wilkes-Barre! See you at Crown Jewel! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipers Pit Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 NOVEMBER WEEK 1 ADDITION FINANCIAL ARENA ORLANDO, FL The show begins in Sonya DeVille’s office. She’s with Charlotte Flair and says she wants to inform the WWE Women’s Champion that next week here on Superstars we’ll have the contract signing between her and whoever wins the battle royal at Crown Jewel. Charlotte just smiles and says she’ll be happy to bring some class to this place before she exits the office leaving Sonya with a less than pleasant expression. Thea Hail is backstage very happy and energetic when Naomi and Tamina approach her. They begin to bully her and threaten her when someone behind yells for them to back off. Roxanne Perez walks over and stands next to Hail. She tells the Naomi and Tamina that if they want to talk crap, the four of them can settle it in the ring next week. Naomi and Tamina agree through their laughter and walk off. Hail thanks Perez for the help and she’s assured that next week they’ll make a statement. ISLA DAWN VS COURTNEY RUSH *Rush puts up a fight but Dawn controls the match throughout. After putting Rush down with a spinning backhand, Dawn comes off the second rope with a knee drop to the back of the head, Graves refers to as the Witching Hour. RESULT: ISLA DAWN WINS BY PINFALL Kelly Kinkaid is with Rhea Ripley. She asks Rhea about her match tonight with Natalya but Ripley scoffs and says tonight is just another night at the office for Mami. Show up, eradicate, hand raised. Rinse and repeat. LITA VS SHAYNA BASZLER *An open match and Lita keeps her promise to go to the extreme by hitting three different moves off the second rope early in the match. Shayna is reeling but when Lita goes for the swanton, Shayna hits the ropes and Lita falls awkwardly. *Baszler jumps on Lita like a hungry lion on a gazelle. She ground and pounds for a moment before locking in a dragon sleeper. Lita fights to get to the rope but Baszler cranks her neck back and the referee calls for the bell when Lita won’t submit. RESULT: SHAYNA BASZLER WINS BY STOPPAGE The referee checks on Lita and signals an ‘X’. He’s careful with her neck as medical officials comes to the ring. Lita is crying as they check on her and we go to a WWE Network commercial. We come back from a quick advertisement and Lita has been loaded onto a stretcher. As she is wheeled up the aisle, Rhea Ripley comes out for her match. She smiles at Lita, and gives her a little wave goodbye. RHEA RIPLEY VS NATALYA *Ripley controls the early going but Natalya makes her comeback and gets Mami in the Sharpshooter. Ripley is flailing but finally gets to the rope. She goes to the outside and Natalya follows but its a trap and she gets tripped into the ring post. *Ripley is back in control, and brings Natalya back into the ring. Ripley goes for Riptide but Natalya is fighting her, trying to get free. Rhea delivers three sharp and violent elbows into Natalya’s neck before hitting Riptide and stacking her opponent for the win. RESULT: RHEA RIPLEY WINS BY PINFALL To end the show, Michael Cole and Corey Graves run down the final card for Crown Jewel. This Saturday only on Peacock!
