**According to Adam Pearce, Gunther has been fined and suspended indefinitely.
Wade and Joe are taking care of the announcer’s desk, and Mark Nash is taking care of in-ring announcing duties.
I am still reading rumours that the draft is coming soon.
The show this week is in Fort Worth, Texas.
Tag Team Titles on the line in a T.L.C match with Street Profits, Motor City Machine Guns and #DIY
John Cena is on his way to the ring, preparing for another promo filled with the usual heel nonsense. The atmosphere is dark, and the crowd is letting John know they are not happy. Thanks to Mark for the rude introduction. Just as John attempts to speak, Randy’s music hits, and John does not look impressed. Randy sarcastically tells John that he needs to have some kids. It seems like Creative has gone off the rails with this storyline, as John just told Randy that he is trying to erase three generations of his family.
Nathan Frazier/Axium have been called up to SmackDown, having their first match against Los Garza. (Losing the titles at Stand and Deliver has allowed them to be called up) Nathan/Axium got the win in impressive style.
Tiffany Stratton is on her way to the ring. Cutting a promo, waiting to see if she will have a match at Backlash. OK, Jade Cargill just walked out. Jade, telling Tiffany to prove herself, “Let’s have a match right now”. They were both ready to go. Tiff asked for a ref, and here we go. This is going to be interesting. As Wade commented, I am surprised about this match, both had tough matches at Mania, and are a little beat up. This is turning into a good match. Here comes Naomi to spoil what was a good match. Nia Jax has been cleared, returning to go after Tiffany.
The new United States Champion, Jacob Fatu, is on his way to the ring with Solo Sikoa. (Fatu’s mask at Mania was made by the same company that made Bray Wyatt’s Fend mask.) Solo running his mouth that it was he who brought Jacob to the WWE, Solo said that it was he who made Jacob. Here comes L.A. Knight, who won’t surprise me to see a match at Backlash. Seriously, Drew McIntyre’s music hit. No one is sure what is going on. It could be interesting. Drew wants a match with Jacob.
Nick just came out, the winner of the match between Drew and Knight will be the #1 contender for the United States Title.
Chelsea Green puts the Women’s United States title on the line against Zelina Vega. Of course, Chelsea’s goons are at the ringside, so this won’t be an even match. Chelsea’s goons got tossed. Finally, Zelina with the win, so deserved. It was time for a title change.
The Miz is throwing a temper tantrum. Ok, just went dark, but here comes Aleister Black, making his return. (Aleister was in AEW) Miz wants a challenge; he has got one. (Aliester is married to Zelina Vega) Miz got knocked out.
Bianca has 2 broken fingers.
L.A. Knights match with Drew McIntyre. Solo hit Knight with a spike, looking like it will help Drew get the win. WHAT?? Damien Priest just showed up. Taking Drew out with his match being stopped. Knight was yelling at Damien, but Jacob just took both of them out.
The ring is being set up for the Table, Ladders, and Chairs match for the SmackDown Men’s Tag Team title.
Next Friday, The Miz will face Aleister Black.
The T.L.C. Match has been nasty, to say the least. All 3 teams are just trying to destroy each other. That is Tomasso Ciampa (he shaved his beard) with Johnny Gargano. Street Profits, #DIY and Motor City are going all out, will leave it all in the ring. OMG, Ciampa was hanging on to the belts when Angelo Hawkins speared him from a ladder through a table. Montez Ford in a three-way fist fight, on top of the ladder, getting rid of DIY and Motor City to get the titles for the win. This could have gone any way. These teams put their bodies on the line to deliver an amazing match.
