Pipers Pit Posted March 7 Author Share Posted March 7 (edited) 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!

Pipers Pit Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 (edited) 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!

Kimberly Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Raw's Judgment Day Has Arrived?

What does The Judgment Day have in store for Raw? Find out, Monday. Don't miss Raw LIVE this Monday on USA! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Smackdown Managing Director Adam Pearce and the Usos are here! They exit their car and head towards the arena doors but come to a sudden stop. Stephanie McMahon and a host of police stand in their way. She tells Pearce that he seems to be lost. He demands that the Usos get the Unified Tag Team Championship match they earned but she just shrugs with a smirk and says she can’t help him, the champs are exclusive to Raw. Before Steph goes inside, she tells the officers if they try to get in, to arrest them. When she leaves, Pearce and the Usos think about it, but end up getting in their car and leaving, furious at not being able to enter. DECEMBER WEEK 3 PECHANGE ARENA SAN DIEGO, CA The Judgment Day come to the ring and they all have the same gripe. People around here seem to forget who runs Monday Night Raw. People seem to forget who is the most dominant faction in the WWE. People forget at their own peril. Tonight they will make a statement and remind everyone how dangerous Judgment Day is. Priest steps up and says if he has the guts, there is one guy in the back who he wants to fight tonight. And that guy is Seth Freakin Rollins. Priest is sick of the costumes, of the attitude, and most of all that God awful song. Tonight he shuts Rollins up for good! COMMERCIAL BREAK CANDICE LARAE VS RONDA ROUSEY Ronda looks to be in a very poor mood and she takes it out on Candace, peppering her with punches, before she quickly slings her with a judo throw, and hooks in her arm bar which gets a quick submission. RESULT: RONDA ROUSEY WINS BY SUBMISSION Ronda refuses to release the hold as the bell rings. The referee can’t get her to let Candace go. Finally, Raw Managing Director Stephanie McMahon runs down to the ring and forcibly forces her to break the hold. Ronda just grins at McMahon and leaves the ring. Stephanie checks on Candace while keeping her eyes on Rousey. A video replay of Bronson Reed’s brutal attack on Cody Rhodes is shown. Vic Joseph says that Cody was taken to a local hospital after the show and they found he suffered bruised ribs, but thankfully not broken. We immediately go to the Miz in his locker room. He’s all smiles. He says that he did Cody a favor last week because he helped him finish the story. Sure, it wasn’t the ending Cody wanted but it’s an ending nonetheless. Bronson Reed almost put him through the mat. He tells Cody to be smart and to stay home for good. His wife and daughter need him. COMMERCIAL BREAK CHAD GABLE VS RANDY ORTON Gable is a fantastic athlete and his technical skills are some of the best in WWE but that doesn’t help when you’re up against the brutality and sadistic tendencies of the Viper. Orton controls throughout the match, toying with Gable before he ends it with an RKO. RESULT: RANDY ORTON WINS BY PINFALL We catch sight of Maria Kanellis and Rex Steiner talking backstage. We can’t hear what is being said, but Maria is clearly flirting and Steiner isn’t exactly rejecting it. Maria is continuing her search for the man to satisfy all her needs, is the nephew of Big Poppa Pump that man?!? Priest is warming up for his match tonight as Balor, Mysterio,and Mami psyche him up. COMMERCIAL BREAK LITA AND TRISH STRATUS VS PIPER NIVEN AND SHAYNA BASZLER Heels control the match until Lita gets the hot tag. She makes a comeback for her side until Piper crushes her in the corner and the heels take over again. When Lita has a chance to tag out, Shayna runs across the ring and takes Trish out. Piper keeps up the attacks until she misses her avalanche in the corner. Lita finally tags out, and Trish is a blur around Piper, finally knocking her down with a dropkick off the second rope. Shayna breaks up the pin and now it’s a four woman brawl. Shayna goes for a kick to Trish but hits Piper, knocking her down. Lita tags herself up and hits her moonsault for the win. RESULT: LITA AND TRISH STRATUS WIN BY PINFALL Lita and Trish Stratus celebrate their win but both are well aware that next week they’ll be opponents. There is a slight tension between them. The fatal fourway is next week, who will get a shot at the Women’s World Title at Day One? Byron Saxton is standing by the Intercontinental Champion Gunther. Saxton asks him why he fired Imperium after all they did for him but Gunther cuts him off and says that first, HE is Imperium. Second, in answer to his question, they are no longer needed. They were fortunate to be allowed to be with Gunther for as long as they were, but they never elevated themselves. They never improved. Gunther is not into charity chases, so he cut his losses. The fact is, he should have known better because no one is capable of living up to Gunther’s standards…except himself. And Gunther has an announcement to make…. the Ring General is officially declaring for the Royal Rumble! COMMERCIAL BREAK INDUS SHEER W/JINDER MAHAL VS DIY Indus Sheer’s power helps them control the match but it fades as DIY make their comeback. Mahal gets on the apron and eats a double superkick, and a few moments later, Veer falls victim to Meeting in the Middle. RESULT: DIY WINS BY PINFALL Seth Freakin Rolins is walking backstage. He takes on the Judgment Day’s Archer of Infamy….next! COMMERCIAL BREAK DAMIAN PRIEST VS SETH FREAKIN ROLLINS Priest comes out without Judgment Day and shows he doesn’t need them as he controls the match early on, targeting Rollins’ back with powerful attacks. Seth makes a comeback, going to the top and hitting a cross body on Priest that gets a two count. At this point Priest gets some moral support. Rollins is distracted several times and as one member on the outside engages the referee, someone else is able to take a cheap shot. But Seth digs keep, attacking all three men going from one to the other. He puts Priest down with a big Falcon Arrow but there is a kickout at 2. Seth is feeling it and waits for Priest to get in position for a curbstomp when Rhea climbs in the ring, and hits a blatant low blow from behind causing the end of the match. RESULT: SETH FREAKIN ROLLINS WINS BY DISQUALIFICATION All four members of Judgment Day are in the ring and beating the hell out of Seth, even Rhea is taking shots at him. The crowd is booing heavily, but then pops big time. The Champ is here! Cena runs down and slides in, taking on Balor, then Priest, then Dom, but when he comes to Rhea he pulls his punch. She dares him to hit her and this distraction is enough to allow him to get swamped. Judgment Day is back on top as they raise their arms over the fallen Rollins and Cena as the show goes off the air. The Judgment Day kicked off Monday Night Raw asserting their dominance. And they end the night having proven their point. What will happen next week now that The Judgment Day has proven that they still own Raw? Good Night from San Diego!

Pipers Pit Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 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!

Pipers Pit Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 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!

Pipers Pit Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 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.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimberly Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 A video from last week is shown focusing on the main event of Seth Rollins versus Damian Priest and the eventual aftermath which had the whole Judgment Day leaving both Rollins and World Heavyweight Champion John Cena down and out. DECEMBER WEEK 4 MODA CENTER PORTLAND, OR The show begins with the World Heavyweight Champion backstage. He says last week he tried to the right thing and paid the price. Well, no good deed goes unpunished but he’s tired of Judgment Day and the way they think they rule the roost. Last time he checked, he’s holding the World Heavyweight Champio…… Finn Balor walks into the scene and says that title belongs to him. Seth Rollins cost him that title and he’s never gotten a rematch. Cena asks are you challenging me or are you just here to bitch and moan? Balor says he wants his rematch…next week at Day 1. Cena says he’ll see him in the ring. The scene ends with a silent staredown. JD MCDONAGH VS BRONSON REED McDonagh has been undefeated since his debut on Raw, but that comes to a crushing end. Reed is a monster and dominates the match, withstanding any offense from the smaller JD. It ends with a top rope Tsunami. RESULT: BRONSON REED WINS BY PINFALL Zoey Stark is working out backstage when Liv Morgan walks up. She tells Zoey that she wants a rematch and Stark scoffs….until Liv slaps her. There’s fire in Stark’s eyes as Liv tells her she’ll be in the ring. As we go to commercial, Vic Joseph says he hopes Liv knows what she’s getting into! COMMERCIAL BREAK ZOEY STARK VS LIV MORGAN Liv shows resilience in this, as she did in their last match. The crowd is definitely behind her but when Zoey catches her with a knee under the chin the match flips and her own mean streak takes over. She hits Z-360 but Liv gets her foot on the rope. Liv is trying to get up, which only infuriates Stark more and she hits her finisher again, dragging Liv to the middle and getting the win. RESULT: ZOEY STARK WINS BY PINFALL Drew McIntyre and Rex Steiner are backstage with a friendly argument about how can bench more when they both quiet. The Viking Raiders and Valhalla approach and she challenges the two of them for battle tonight. McIntyre asks Steiner if he has plans. Steiner says no, and they both agree to see the Raiders later. Stephanie McMahon is backstage talking to some staff when Ronda Rousey comes up, interrupting their conversation. Ronda informs Stephanie that her contract is up at WrestleMania and she wants a new one. In fact, she wants to be the highest paid superstar on all of Raw, male or female. Stephanie tells Ronda she’ll have to think about it and walks away while Ronda stares daggers at her back. COMMERCIAL BREAK OTIS VS DAMIAN PRIEST Otis shows off his power early, both angering and frustrating Priest. Otis overplays his hand though, going to the second rope but missing a huge elbow drop. Priest escapes it in time, and with Otis now prone, he picks the big man apart. Priest goes for a pin but Otis powers out. Priest seems to realize he’s not getting him up for a Razor’s Edge, so instead he climbs to the top and perches until Otis gets himself up. Priest jumps off and hits a big clothesline similar to Kane, which Graves refers to as the Bullseye. That’s enough to put Otis down for three. RESULT: DAMIAN PRIEST WINS BY PINFALL Priest can’t even get his arm raised before Shinsuke Nakamura appears on the tron. Nakamura cuts a winding promo with Japanese subtitles as Priest watches on but behind him he doesn’t see the real Nakamura enter the ring. Priest feels eyes on his back and when he turns, Shinsuke kicks him in the temple, dropping him to a knee. A moment later Priest is flat on his back thanks to a Kinshasa. Nakamura smiles down at Priest as the commercial break begins. COMMERCIAL BREAK When the show returns, Damian Priest is rampaging through the back hallways until he finds Stephanie McMahon. He demands a match with Nakamura next week at Day 1 and he wants it to be no disqualification. She agrees to grant the match but she says it needs to be one on one, so no Judgment Day. He agrees and storms off. Kevin Owens and Zami Zayn are hanging out backstage with the New Day. Kofi finally breaks up the good time, asking when he and Woods are going to get a shot at those titles. Owens looks annoyed but Zayn calms him and tells their friends if they want a shot, how about we start off 2024 with a bang? They all agree, even Owens, and the match is made. DREW MCINTYRE AND REX STEINER VS THE VIKINGS RAIDERS W/VALHALLA A brutal tag match which is very physical. The action in the ring is just as bad as the fighting on the outside. McIntyre gets double teamed for several minutes until Steiner makes the tag and takes over. With the momentum flipped, Steiner and McIntyre operate smoothly and the Vikings are on the short end of the stick. McIntyre blindly tags himself in, with a look of surprise from Steiner, and ends the match hitting the Claymore on Erik. RESULT: DREW MCINTYRE AND REX STEINER WIN BY PINFALL As the victors celebrate their win, they seem to be debating who was more responsible for the win. COMMERCIAL BREAK The New Day is walking backstage in a great mood when Carlito approaches and makes his return to Raw. Carlito says that he has business to talk about with Big E. He says he came back to the WWE after his injury this past summer to do what Big E did, win a title. Man to man, he’s asking for a chance at that Intercontinental Championship next week at Day 1. Big E considers for a moment then sticks out his hand which Cartlito shakes. The challenger walks off but Big E looks seriously at his future opponent. Big E will defend his Intercontinental Championship against Carlito next week! Vic Joseph and Corey Graves hype the upcoming main event. Lita, Piper Niven, Shayna Baszler, and Trish Stratus fight it out to determine who faces Becky Lynch next week. One of these four women has a date with destiny, who will it be? We’re all about to find out, the final main event of 2023 is…next. COMMERCIAL BREAK LITA VS PIPER NIVEN VS SHAYNA BASZLER VS TRISH STRATUS It’s a free for all to begin with as all four women pair up but there is still a bond with Lita and Trish and they work as a team, until Trish tries to get a schoolgirl rollup on Lita with a two count. Lita looks surprised but Trish tells her she’d have done it too. That marks the end of the teamwork. Shaya and Piper have no loyalty either and soon friend and foe are all battling in and out of the ring. Piper begins taking over with her size and strength and hits an avalanche in the corner on Trish. With Lita and Shayan fighting outside, Piper goes for the pin, but Trish kicks out at the very last millisecond. Now Piper’s mad and she goes to the top. Trish disrupts the plan and then hits an amazing and ring shaking superplex. But before she can go for the pin, Lita is back in the room after running Shayna into the post and grabs Trish, throwing her out of the ring and making the cover on Niven for the three count. RESULT: LITA WINS BY PINFALL AND WILL FACE BECKY LYNCH NEXT WEEK AT DAY 1 FOR THE WOMEN’S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP We go backstage, where Becky Lynch is watching Lita’s celebration on a monitor. Rhea Ripley walks up behind her and questions if Becky has it in her to do what’s needed to be done next week and put her friend and mentor down, so they can have their match at Royal Rumble. Rhea smiles and leaves Becky, who looks angry….and conflicted. Next week on Raw, will we kick off the new year with a new Women’s World Champion? It’s Lita versus The Man Becky Lynch at Day 1. What a way to kick off the new year!!! Good Night from Portland! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipers Pit Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipers Pit Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 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.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipers Pit Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipers Pit Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
