Fox Den Sports

Money in the Bank 2025

Taking place in Los Angeles

Announcing tonight will be Michael Cole, Pat McAfee and Wade Barrett. Alicia Taylor is taking care of ring announcing duties

*MATCH 1 — Women’s MITB Ladder Match — Alexa Bliss, Newcomer Roxanne Perez, Naomi, Newcomer Stephanie Vaquer, Newcomer Guilia, Rhea Ripley. My pick is Rhea (from my hometown of Adelaide); don’t count out Alexa (she is from my birthplace of Columbus, Ohio). Rhea has had a hint of red added to her gear. Everyone seems to be gunning for Rhea to get her out. (The Doc checking on Naomi and Rhea)Rhea is finally out from under the pile of ladders, and she is ticked off. I can hardly believe I’m writing this, but Naomi has obtained the briefcase. (They have put the briefcase on a heel.)

*MATCH 2 — The Men’s Intercontinental Title on the line with Dominic Mysterio (Liv is with him)defending against Octagon from Triple A. No surprise, with help from Liv, Dom keeps the belt.

*MATCH 3 — Lyra Valkyria defending the Women’s Intercontinental title against Becky Lynch. (In heel mode) This match will get ugly. Becky is going to push Lyra to a new place, but will she be willing to go? If any belt changes hands, it will be this one. I’m not sure why they would do a belt change, unless the suits want it on someone who is a bigger name? Alicia never got the announcement finished when Lyra went after Becky. Lyra has been 140 days as champion. This has been an amazing match; they have been given the time to tell the story. Becky, holding the tights, steals the win. It was a hell of a match. (The heel did what she needed to, getting the win.) Lyra has nothing to be ashamed of; she did amazingly. Becky is demanding all 4 sides of the ring. Becky demanded that Lyra put the belt on her. Once done, Lyra with a post-match beatdown of her own.

*MATCH 4 — It’s the men’s turn for their Money in the Bank (MITB) ladder match. Seth Rollins is out first, although I thought he would come out last. The other competitors include Penta, El Grande Americano, Andrade, Solo Sikoa, and L.A. Knight. The very first MITB match took place in Los Angeles in 2005. I’m hoping L.A. Knight wins, but I also like Penta; however, I have a feeling Seth will take it. I will be glad when the El Grande storyline concludes because I find it a bit boring. So far, it’s been a good match, but Seth has taken a nasty landing, and I’m not sure if he will recover. Of course, Seth is in the spotlight. Chad just added a medal plate to his mask, which is turning this match into a chaotic scene, much like the women’s match did. Now, Seth is climbing the ladder. Oh no, here comes Braun and Bronson! I told you it would be Seth who wins. WHAT? Here comes Jacob/JC to the ring. After what Jacob heard, will he still help? (Remember, it’s all legal.) Jacob just turned on Solo! Fatu just put Solo through a ladder, which then bent under the impact. There are bodies and ladders scattered all over the place. Well, Seth has the fireball ladder and is on his way up, but here comes L.A. Knight. This was to be expected. Seth grabs the briefcase! I’m more intrigued by Jacob Fatu turning on Solo Sikoa than by the match itself.

WrestleMania 42 returns to Las Vegas.

Nikki Bella returns to RAW this coming Monday night.

*MATCH 5 — Main Event — Tag Team Match with Cody Rhodes/Jey Uso facing John Cena/Logan Paul. You know from the start that this match will not be pretty. Cody is on his way to the ring. Jey Uso is heading to the ring through the crowd. Logan Paul is out with a selfie cam. John Cena will be the last out. The sooner John loses the belt, the happier I will be. The belt is going to have to be taken off John before the end of the year. I am thinking it could happen at SummerSlam or Survivor Series. Jey keeps trying to get to Cody, but he just can’t quite make it. John and Logan are too busy yelling at each other to give Jey the chance to make the tag. Cody just got out of the way as Logan was in mid-air, landing on John. I told you this would get nasty. Turned out to be Jey Uso with a spear on the table. Someone with a spear on John, Holy Cow, it’s R-Truth. Truth just took out Cena. Thanks to the little bit of help, Cody Rhodes/Jey Uso with the win.

SmackDown in Bakersfield.

The final show before Money in the Bank tomorrow.

Joe, Wade, and Mark are taking care of the announcers’ table and ring duties.

Seth Rollins and his merry band of Idiots (Paul, Bronson and Braun) accompany him to the ring. Seth is having his normal temper tantrum. According to Seth, it doesn’t matter if you are on RAW or SmackDown; he has warned not to get in his way. Seth said no one would get in their way to stop them, well, Solo Sokia, Mateo, and Jacob Fatu just walked out. Now, there is a match, Braun Brekker facing Jacob Fatu. I would love to see that.

Jimmy Uso with a sneak attack. Jimmy is in a match shortly with J.C. Mateo. It has been J.C. keeping Jimmy down, not allowing Jimmy a window to get a spark. (Random thought — (Would Jacob turn on Solo at some point?) Well, what a beautiful mistake. Solo got the Ref’s attention, Jacob on the apron, J.C. tried a sneak attack, but Jimmy moved out of the way, taking Jacob off the line. Jimmy rolls up J.C. for the win. (hehe)

Piper Niven in a Bakersfield Brawl against Zelina Vega. The only way to win is by pinfall. (street fight rules) The numbers game is always working against Zelina. With help from Guilia, Zelina gets the win. Not Guilia turns on Zelina.

Aleistar Balck cut a promo wanting to face Shinsuke Nakamura.

L.A. Knight in the ring, cutting a promo for MITB tomorrow. Knight is waiting for Aleister Black to arrive in the ring for their match. It’s been a fairly even match until Seth Rollins just stuck his nose in where it didn’t belong. Seth tried to stomp Knight again, but Black got in the way. They took out Black and went after Knight to ensure he was 100% for tomorrow.

The King and Queen of the Ring tournaments return soon. The finals are in Riyadh at Night of Champions. The winners of those titles will get a championship match on their respective shows at SummerSlam.

It’s Tiffy Time. Tiffany Stratton is on her way to the ring. Here comes Rhea to the ring. (There is a 6-woman tag match with those taking part in the Women’s MITB ladder match tomorrow) Rhea is always in the ring, and joining her are Stephanie Vaquer and Alexa Bliss, facing Roxanne Perex, Naomi and Guilia. (I really can’t stand Roxy anymore.) Roxy is finding out what Rhea is all about. Roxy tried to tag out and Naomi jumped off the apron, leaving Roxy to Rhea, Alexa and Steph.

NXT, The Great American Bash will take place on July 12 in Atlanta

Solo and J. C. basically trash-talked Jacob Fatu, but he heard everything that was said.

Penta/Andrade facing American Made in tag action. Penta/Andrade with the win, but here comes Seth and his idiots once again. It’s the Seth Rollins version of Bloodline. At least for me, getting bored with the storyline already. Paul is throwing another one of his classic temper tantrums. The universe is booing.

Well, here comes Cody to the ring. Jey is also on his way to the ring.

Cody/Jey are facing John Cena/Logan Paul. They have a tag match at MITB tomorrow. Of course, a pre-match beatdown. I don’t even have the telly sound on. I can’t wait for this match to be over tomorrow. Those two think they are so special. Time for John Cena to go for good. Logan Paul will NEVER hold the world title.

See you tomorrow for Money in the Bank

NXT in Orlando

Vic, Booker T, Corey and Mike Rome are taking care of the announcer’s table and ring duties.

Things will be interesting today with Jacey Jade now holding the NXT Women’s Title. (title changed hands as Stephanie Vaquer moved up to RAW)

Ja’von Evans is in the ring with Laredo Kid, Ethan Page getting in the ring, complaining about everything wrong right now. Ethan tried to leave, but Sean Legacy just walked out. It turned into a big mess.

Chase University is facing Dark Street. This match will be ugly. If Chase can pull off the win, it will be amazing. (My opinion, it’s time Dark Street had a loss) Dark State with the win.

Myles Borne is facing Charley Dempsey. If Myles wins, he is out of No Quarter, but if Charley wins, Myles has to stay. There are three three-minute rounds. Myles got the 1st fall. Charley with a cheap shot at the end of round 2, Charley gets the first pin of round 3, it’s tied at 1 fall each. Myles Borne with the pin with 13 seconds left to get his freedom.

Tyra Mae Steel (who just won the LFG, making her debut) is facing Arina Grace. Needless to say, it was Tyra Mae with the win. She will be interesting to watch as she grows in NXT.

Jacey Jade, the new Women’s NXT title holder. Fatal Influence is with her. Bragging about how everyone never supported her. The locker room is coming at her from all sides. All hell has broken out. OMG, Guess who just showed up? Mariah Mae, who just left AEW.

Ricky Saints is out due to the match with Ethan Page. The injury is real, and no word on how long he will be out.

Dragon Lee, Ja’von Evans, Laredo Kid, and Sean Legacy in a tag team match facing Ethan Page along with Vanity Project. I don’t think the Vanity Project realise what they got themselves into. This is getting ugly. Ethan Page has the perfect teammates for now. That match fell apart, got to give credit to the Ref for keeping it going. Dragon Lee, Ja’von, Kid and Sean with the win. It was a great match, you need to watch it or you will miss something special.

Oba Femi is putting the NXT Men’s title on the line against newcomer Jasper Troy. This will be the match to watch. Jasper is as tall as Oba and also built similarly to Oba. We could see a title change.

Main Event is here with Mike Santana facing Trick Williams for the Men’s NXT Title. Trick has got an attitude about winning the belt. You can see his frustrations starting to get the better of him. We have interference all over the place. Thanks to Mike getting betrayed by friends, Trick keeps the title at least for now.

RAW in Tulsa, Oklahoma

Going home show on the way to Money in the Bank.

Cole, Pat, and Alicia, as always, are looking after the announcer’s table and ring duties.

The final 2 spots for the MITB matches will be decided today.

CM Punk is heading to the ring. OK, Sami Zayn is on his way to the ring. Sami just told Punk that everyone needs him to win tonight.

This is the final triple threat match for a chance to participate in the Ladies’ Money in the Bank Ladder match. The competitors are Liv, Ivy Nile, and Stephanie Vaquer, which is significant because it’s why the Ladies NXT Championship changed hands. I have a feeling that Stephanie will come out on top and secure the victory. It’s an even match so far, but I am hoping that changes. Stephanie pinned Ivy for the win. Liv copped a face full of steps to be eliminated.

Tag Team action with J.D. McDonagh/Finn Balor facing the War Raiders. Oh, geesh, the New Day at ringside. Jessica just tossed New Day from the ringside. Thanks to Roxanne Perez for showing up and helping. Finn and J.D. with the win.

Lyria Valkeria is in the ring, cutting a promo for her match with Becky Lynch for the Women’s Intercontinental Title.

Jay Uso/Sami Zayn are on the way to the ring for tag action facing Bron Brekker/Bronson Reed. I have no clue how this one will end. Hoping for Jay/Sami, but stranger things have happened. Seth Rollins showed up, hitting Jey with a stomp. They had Sami pinned on the announcer’s table set up for Bronson to hit a splash, but Punk with a chairshot, saving Sami.

Kairi Sane is facing Raquel in singles action. Liv is at the ringside. Of course, Liv got involved, but it was Iyo who came out to help Kairi get the win.

**MAIN EVENT — The Men’s final qualifying match for MITB with A.J. Styles, CM Punk, and El Grande Americano (Chad Gable). This is for the final spot up for grabs. You know that Seth will interfere to make sure that Punk does not make it to the PLE. Right now, it’s been a pretty even match, with all three having chances at a pin. Well, Bronson Reed and Bron Brekker showed up, trying to take out Punk. How in the heck did Chad pull that off? What a rubbish match in my book.

It’s the post-match beatdown with everyone trying to take out the others. It’s the RAW version of Bloodline.

SmackDown in Tennessee

This should be another interesting show with Money in the Bank next weekend.

Jim Ross is recovering from Surgery. Early reports are sharing that they got all the cancer.

Joe, Wade and Mark are taking care of their regular duties.

Bianca Belair is on her way to the ring. She still has her left hand bandaged due to her broken fingers. It was a great welcome until Naomi came out. Naomi wants to fix the friendship. Jade Cargill just showed up, going after Naomi, but here comes Nia Jax. This will be interesting

Jade Cargill, Nia Jax and Naomi are in a triple-threat MITB qualifying match. Naomi is refusing to get into the ring. I can see it now, Naomi will let Nia and Jade do all the work and fly in at the end to try and steal the win from Jade. It’s becoming a two-on-one as Nia and Naomi work together on Jade. If this had been a singles match, Jade would have just won if it wasn’t for Nia. Once again, the ladies have taken to the stage to open the show, giving it their all. Holy cow, Naomi gets the win. Did not see that one coming.

R- Truth is on his way to the ring. He is facing J.C. Mato, who no doubt will have Solo Sokia in his corner. This match won’t last long. R-Truth did get to shine for a split second, but in the end, it was Mato with the win. The post-match beatdown started, and Jimmy came out with a chair, trying to help Truth. Mato took out Jimmy, which Solo is not happy about, as he is trying to get Jimmy back to the bloodline.

Street Profits are on the way to the ring. I can’t see this ending quietly. Well, Fraxiun is on the way to the ring. (In my book, they are owed a match.) Well, let’s throw the Motor City Machine Guns in the mix, now it’s #DIY with Candace LaRae. Well, the Wyatt Sick have returned once again.

Las Garza in tag action facing Rey Fenix, Ja’von Evens in his first visit to SmackDown. (Testing the waters with Ja’von visiting SmackDown) Ethan Page is at the announcer’s desk. This is going to be interesting. Las Garza has Ja’von cut off from getting to Rey. Ja’von finally got the window he needed, making it to Rey. (The Men are keeping up with the ladies in this match.) Ja’von just wiped everyone out. Thanks to the help from Ethan Page, Las Garza gets the win.

Zelina Vega is in singles action against Alba Fire. (Chelsea has a broken nose.) It’s a three-on-one match in one way, which should be interesting to see how long before the others get involved. HAHA, Chelsea tried to hit Zelina with her facemask, but Zelina ducked with Piper taking the hit. Zelina with the win. (Another good solid match from the ladies.)

Damien Priest is on his way to the ring, sporting a left eye shiner. (I have read that Drew will be off for a bit.) He cut a promo. Damien has the Men’s United States title in his sights. They met at the top of the run, and nothing was said, but they did acknowledge each other.

Men’s triple threat math for MITB, with Jacob Fatu, Carmello Hayes and Andrade. With The Miz at ringside, this is going to get interesting. Hayes and Andrade have the right idea; do all that you can to keep Jacob out of the match. Jacob was full steam to take out Hayes and Andrade, with Mike( ring announcer) barely getting out of the way. Jacob came up empty, is still down in the timekeeper’s area. Carmello is going for a table. Jacob finally got back in the ring. Oh no, Fatu is going to get ticked off, Solo and Mateo are at the ringside. Thanks to the help from Jimmy Uso, Andrade gets the win. Mateo had gotten on the apron, also telling Mateo what to do. (The so-called bloodline is getting interesting.)

I don’t blame Jacob for losing his temper. Solo showed up, telling Jacob that he was just trying to help. Jacob looked straight at Solo and told him in no uncertain terms that he did not need his help.

Cody returned at Saturday Night’s Main Event, and he is now on his way to the ring. Jey Uso is on his way to the ring to join Cody. Well, here comes the spoiler in John Cena. Here we go, John Cena, the bully. Of course, Logan Paul is on his way to the ring also. The 4 will meet in a tag team match at Money in the Bank. (I have it on mute, not wanting to hear the crap) Well, I knew it would end with fists flying. It would be Cody/Jey standing tall in the end.

NXT in Orlando

There will be plenty of fallout from Battle Ground, with Trick Williams beating Joe Hendry for the TNA World Title.

The battle between Ricky Stacks and Ethan Page, I hope, will end today with the Men’s North American Title on the line.

Vic, Booker T, Corey and Mike Rome taking care of thier regular duties.

The Men’s North American title is on the line. Mike Rome tried to announce the match, but he had to get himself to safety as Ethan and Ricky went at each other. Mike announced the match from outside the ring, with the match starting immediately. It will not be pretty. Eva came out, told the ref to let them go at it, and she wants a clear winner. This has totally fallen apart. Ricky/Ethan went rolling over the announcer’s table, forcing the boys to scramble, (took Booker a few minutes to get his headset working again. (What a match to open with.) Well, playing dirty gets you a title belt win. I can’t stand Ethan Page.

Mike Santana (from TNA) in singles action, facing Travion Heights from No Quarter Catch Crew. Trvion has the strength, but Mike is holding his own. (NXT have upped their game, RAW needs to catch up) Another great match, thats 2 out of 2 so far, with Mike getting the win.

Tony is having a chat with Luca. Talking about Trust.

Trick Williams is on his way to the ring. Makes me wonder if Trick is turning heel. Trick is saying he is not appreciated in NXT. Mike Santana has just arrived at the ring, mic in hand. Mike is calling Trick out; the Universe is getting behind Mike. Next week, Mike has a TNA title match against Trick.

The Ladies are taking over as Jiada Parker takes on Tatum Paxley. Jiada is good, but her trash-talking can get her in trouble. That didn’t take much time. Jiada with the win but copped a post-match tackle from Thea Hail.

LFG Season 1 will feature Jasper Troy, who is on the way to the ring for his first match in NXT. Jasper is facing Dante Chen. Jasper with the win. He has good speed, size and strength. Oba is giving Jasper a fair warning.

No Quarter Catch Crew is having a chat. Myles Bourne wants to go out on his own, but Charlie Dempsey says he is not ready. Myles begs to differ. If Myles wins their singles match, Charlie has to let him go.

Oh crap, Ethan Page is in the ring, having a brag. Ja’von Evans at the ring, barely letting Ethan get a word out. Ja’von just told Ethan he will be defending the North American title against him at World’s End. Larido Kid from AAA just came out through the crowd, he is also coming for the title. It’s a triple Fatal-4 way, Rey Fenix has just come out also through the crowd.

The Ladies are returning to the ring as they are in the Main Event with Jacey Jade from Fatal Influence facing Stephanie Vaquer for the NXT Women’s Title. Jacey will have Fallon and Jazymyn Nix in her corner. I don’t think that Lola Vice will be too far away. (Lola will be Steph’s tag partner at World’s Collide) Fallon is not looking too impressed. Steph was not waiting; she dropped the belt and her ring dress, charging the ring. Lola was needed as the female tag team from AAA came out to disrupt the match, but that didn’t last long. The crowd is showing their appreciation for the ladies. Fatal Influence is falling apart. Jazymyn has walked away. It was a set-up. Thanks to Fallon and Jazymyn, Jacey Jade is the new NXT Women’s Champion. Needless to say, everyone is stunned. Including Mike Rome.

(This has me wondering though, is the draft close, with the title change, is Steph on her way to the big dance? Only time will tell.

RAW in Tampa

It’s Memorial Day in the USA Thank you to all who are serving, those who have served and those who have gone ahead.

THANK YOU

Jim Ross is having cancer surgery. We send our best to Jim during this time.

No title changed hands at the Main Event show, but I know there will be fallout today

The usual cast of characters, with Cole, Pat and Alicia taking care of their regular duties as always.

Recap of Saturday Night’s Main Event. (Bronson Reed has returned, joining Seth.)

**Money in the Bank on June 7, in Los Angeles

Paul Heryman with his band of heels, Braun Brekker, Seth and joining them is Bronson Reed. Seth is playing the I know what is best for the locker room. The Universe is letting Seth know they are not happy. Seth is bragging that he will win the M.I.T.B briefcase. He will do exactly what he says, and no one will stop him.

It’s a Men’s M.I.T.B Men’s qualifying match with Penta, Chad Gable and Dragon Lee. It’s been quiet until Penta got thrown into the announcer’s desk. Thanks to a little help from outside, which is all legal in a triple threat match, Penta is going to M.I.T.B

This should be good, Roxy in Judgement Day swooning over Dom, and Liv walks in. She is off to get herself a spot in a MITB qualifying match.

Akira Tozawa is facing Rusev. This will not last long and will be very ugly. Rusev refused to let go, and Shamus came to the rescue. Shamus and Rusev had some good battles when Rusev was around the first time.

Triple threat match for the World Tag Team titles on the line, with New Day defending against The War Raiders and Creed Brothers. It’s on for young and old, and the bell has not rung yet. Ref finally got the bell rung, but he keeps losing control of the match. Once again, a tight hold steals the titles for the New Day.

Jey Uso is on his way to the ring. (Pat teaching Cole how to Yeet on beat) Oh nuts, here comes Gunther.

Liv Morgan is facing Kairi Sane (minor repackage to her pirate character) in singles action. Liv is being her usual bratty self. I can see Raquel getting involved, and Iyo showing up to help Kairi. Liv has been dominant in the match, but Kairi is holding her own. It has been a good match. Both have had their chances to win at points along the way. Well, it was Roxy who came to help, with the argument between Raquel/Roxy, it helped Kairi get the pin, winning the match. (I had read that it was a possible storyline with Roxy joining the Judgement Day, going after Dom, getting rid of Liv)

Vic Joseph is taking care of interview duties for Jackie Redmond, sharing that Trick Williams won the TNA World Title.

Lyria is in the ring, cutting a promo. She is ticked off. There is a rematch for the Intercontinental title at Money in the Bank. You know that Becky would be around. Becky is playing the frustrated wrestler who should have everything handed to her.

Men’s qualifying MITB match with Seth Rollins, Sami Zayne and Finn Balor. This match will be wild for sure. It’s been insane so far. Sami is holding his own, but just as someone is close to getting a pin to win the match, it’s broken up. Sami was so close, but Seth just managed to get his shoulder up. Sami had the win until Bruan Brekker pulled Sami out of the ring. Seth gets the win, thanks to a chair stomp on Finn, who had slid the chair in to help Finn.

A hit and run by CM Punk gets the last word of the night.

BattleGround — NXT

The Show is in Tampa

Booker T, Vic and Corey are at the announcer’s desk with Mike Rome taking care of the ring announcing duties.

I have no clue what to expect today; anything can happen. When you least expect something to happen, it usually does.

Money in the Bank will take place on June 7th in Los Angeles.

**MATCH 1 — The ladies are kicking off the show with Sol Ruca defending the Women’s North American Title against Kelani Jordan, with Zaira in Sol’s corner. This match is getting exciting right from the start—don’t blink, or you might miss something action-packed! Kelani has really been putting in the effort, and it’s showing in the ring. WOW, Sol is delivering some impressive aerial moves; you have to see the highlights of this match. It has been an incredible opening bout. No matter what one competitor does, the other always finds a way to kick out. Zaira just got tossed out for trying to save Sol. Holy cow, what a match! I have to give huge credit to Kelani for her performance. In the end, Sol successfully defends her title. Both women left everything in the ring!

**MATCH 2 — 6-man tag team match with The Culling (Shaun Spears/ Brooks Jensen, Niko Vance) facing Hank/Tank/Jason Briggs. This match could go either way. It’s going to get ugly. It got ugly and fell apart, but in the end, it was Hank, Tank and Josh Briggs with the win. Post-match beatdown.

**MATCH 3 — It’s the fight for the leader of the family as Tony D’Angelo faces off against Stacks for the right to lead the family. I really want Tony to win this. This match will get ugly, nasty, whatever word you want to insert. Tony could have finished off Stacks, but for some reason, he stopped. I would not trust Stacks. Stacks looked for the crowbar, and it was missing. Stacks said he was sorry, begging for forgiveness. Thanks to Luca showing up, with a low blow from Stacks, he steals the win.

**MATCH 4 — It’s the Women’s Title match with Jordyanne Grace facing the current title holder, Stephanie Vaquer. This is more evenly matched than I expected. Jordyann had her moments, and now the swing has shifted to Steph. Steph and Jordyanne both get so close, but it’s not quiet there. Steph just threw Jordyanne threw the ringside barricade. Another great women’s match. They are giving everything they have. That was a hell of a match, the girls have left it all in the ring with Stephanie hanging onto the title.

Ricky Saints is on the way to the ring for a chat with Sarah Schreiber. North American Title will also be defended by World’s Collide. I know Ethan Page would show up; he just can’t stay out of anything.

Vic is having a chat with Myles Bourne. Myles was very open about his hearing challenges.

**MATCH 5-The NXT Men’s Championship is on the line as the current champion, Oba Femi, defends his title against Myles Bourne. I really hope Myles can pull off a win, but given Oba’s size and strength, he will have to push himself to the limit to make it happen. This marks Oba’s sixth title defence. So far, it’s been mostly Oba in control, with Myles managing to shine at moments, but he needs to find a way to gain an advantage. I’m on the edge of my seat right now! Myles finally found an opening and is doing everything he can to turn the tide in his favour. (My heart is pounding!) Oba ultimately retains the title, but credit goes to Myles Bourne for holding his own in the match and pushing Oba to his limits. After the match, Oba stopped, turned back, and gave Myles a nod of approval.

**MAIN EVENT — Joe Hendry, who holds the TNA world title defending against Trick Williams. I can’t see this title changing hands, but anything is possible. Trick has gotten a little too full of himself; he won’t be happy until he is holding a title. So far, it’s a pretty even match, but don’t count Trick out yet. Trick has a bad habit of letting his frustrations get the better of him. What the hell just happened?? Trick Williams just beat Joe Hendry for the TNA World Title. I am really surprised this happened. I can’t see him holding the title long, but who knows? At this point, I never saw this ending coming.

SmackDown in Georgia

The show is heading to Tampa, where Saturday Night’s Main Event is taking place.

Joe, Wade as always taking care of the announcer’s desk with Mark doing the ring announcing.

Zoey Stark is facing a complete knee replacement after her in-ring mishap during her match on Monday during RAW.

Kevin Owens still has not had surgery yet, as they are still working on the best plans to help Kevin.

Tiffany Stratton is in the ring, cutting a promo. Alexa Bliss is on the way to the ring. This should be interesting. Alexa just gave Tiffy fair warning that she is coming for her and the title if she wins the case. Charlotte is on her way to the ring, dressed and ready for a match. I have a feeling it’s against Alexa because she is also dressed and ready to go. (The universe is letting her know they don’t like her, guess you could call Charlotte is heel) Tiffy just said, Alexa and Charlotte are vintage, but Tiffy is the upgrade.

Giulia, Charlotte and Zelina Vega are in a triple threat match to qualify for M.I.T.B This has actually been a good match; each of the ladies has had their time fighting for the pin, no one has been dominant. They are giving the ladies the time they deserve. “This is awesome “, chants have broken out. Holy Cow, Charlotte was in the figure 8, trying to get Zelina to tap out, but it was Giulia hitting a jump from the top rope, landing on Charlotte’s repaired knee, taking her out, giving Giulia the chance to hit a Northern Lights on Zelina for the win.

Chris Sabin from Motor City Machine Guns in singles action facing Tomasso Ciampa (he looks strange without the beard) of #DIY. Chris has been able to shine a little, but it’s all been Ciampa. With help from Johnny’s wife, Candace LaRue Tomasso, the win.

Damien Priest/Drew McIntyre are still going at it. They have a steel cage match at Saturday Night’s Main event. Even security can’t get them split.

Chelsea Green, Alba Fire, Piper Niven are heading to the ring. Alba and Piper are in tag action facing Michin/B-fab. in tag team action. You know that Chelsea will get involved, hoping that Zelina will come back out if Michin/B-Fab need help. Zelina just evened the numbers. It fell apart a little, but Michin/B-Fab with the win.

J.C. Mateo/Jacob Fatu in tag action against Rex Fenix/Jimmy Uso. Jacob said earlier that he does not trust J.C. or Solo. This could get interesting. Solo wants Jimmy back in the fold, but who knows? Thanks to Solo sticking his nose in, Jacob/J.C. took the win.

R-Truth is in the ring, talking about his match with John Cena. The title is NOT on the line. He is cutting a promo that is kinda fun, but he is also being serious.

Men’t qualifying match for M.I.T.B with Aleistar Black, Shinsuke Nakamura and L.A Knight in triple threat action. This can go any way. It would be interesting for a single match between Aleister and Shinsuke. Knight throws Black out of the ring, stealing the win.

SmackDown Tag Team Titles on the line as the Street Profits defend the belts against Axium/Nathan Frazier, known as Fraxiom. It started out with the Profits in control of the match, but Nathan finally got going. Street Profits have slowed things down. Just as Fraxiom get going, Profits shuts down the speed. It keeps getting closer for Fraxiom, but just not quite there. Nathan saves the match. OMG, now it’s Montez with the save. (This is one of the best Main Events yet.) #DIY came to the ring, but Motor City Machine Guns showed up. What the HELL, it just went dark, but the lights just came back on with Wyatt Sick returning. It was an amazing match until the Wyatts showed up. This just got really interesting. Question — with Alexa Bliss now on SmackDown also, will she join the Wyatts?

NXT in Orlando

Battle Ground on May 25 in Tampa

Vic, Booker T, and Corey are taking care of the announcer’s desk, with Mike Rome handling the Ring announcer’s duties.

Ricky Saints is on his way to the announcer’s table.

Ja’von Evans is taking on Sean Legacy along with Ashante Adonis. Triple threat rules. What a hell of an opening match. Of course, Ethan Page has to show up and spoil things. Thanks to Ethan Page, Sean Legacy gets the win.

Lola Vice is taking on Fallon Henry later tonight.

Lola Vice is in the ring waiting for the arrival of Fallon Henry. It’s been a pretty even match. Lola and Fallon have not really made a big enough mistake for the other to take advantage of.
