Monday Night RAW 11-4-2024

As the opening video package ends, pyro explodes on the stage as the crowd in Oklahoma City is erupting in cheers. The cameras pan through the crowd, showing off various signs reading things like “Goolia”, “My Mom is nWo Elite!”, “T.B.T.T.I.T.W.” and more. After doing a pan of the Paycom Center, the cameras settle in on the commentary table where we see the team of Michael Cole and Wade Barrett.



MICHAEL COLE: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another rip-roaring episode of Monday Night RAW! After last week we’ve got a slew of action heading your way that’ll be sure to peak your interest!

WADE BARRETT: That’s right, Cole! We’re going to find out if Britt Baker can deal with the consequences of attacking the nWo Elite last week along with her buddy Rhea Ripley! Tonight Britt Baker goes toe-to-toe with Ember Moon in what surely promises to be one of our top interests for the evening!

MICHAEL COLE: Let’s not forget that The Best Tag Team In The World laid out a challenge and tonight we find out if they will remain as the WWE Tag Team Champions or if Meta-Four can defeat them and become the new WWE Tag Team Champions!

WADE BARRETT: It’s certainly going to be a heck of a night, Cole! I can’t wait to see who becomes the number one contender to the WWE Intercontinental Championship either! Ricky Starks and Stephanie McMahon have arranged for one lucky superstar to be able to catapult themselves into that opportunity tonight in a battle royal!

MICHAEL COLE: Gigi Dolin is stepping up against our Women’s Intercontinental Champion as well. A win for her here could really set her up for the future, Wade!

WADE BARRETT: After that loss last week, a win over the Women’s Intercontinental Champion is desperately needed to keep her in the game here on Monday Night RAW. There’s so many female superstars chomping at the bit that you have to imagine if she can't recover here it’s going to set her progress back quite a bit!

MICHAEL COLE: And while Naomi put Gigi in the rearview, tonight she looks to do the same to Blair Davenport! A tough loss last week for Blair as well, Toni Storm made her tap out faster than any superstar I’ve seen in recent times be able to!

WADE BARRETT: Toni is a no-nonsense type of competitor, Cole! I don’t know why that would surprise you, she’s been adamant about getting to the top of the division for quite some time!

MICHAEL COLE: Well, let’s not wait any longer, Wade! The show must go on, let’s get to the action!

”Superkick Party” plays over the P.A. system and the crowd immediately turns their attention to the top of the ramp, raining down boos on the nWo Elite members that appear through the curtain. For this moment, it’s John Cena, Nick Jackson and Matt Jackson that appear and start making their way down to the ring.

MICHAEL COLE: Here we go again, Wade. I think I speak for the majority of the WWE locker room and these fans in saying we are tired of seeing these guys.

WADE BARRETT: Perhaps so but last week, this is the group that laid out Mankind and had some harsh words for the WWE locker room.

MICHAEL COLE: What are they going to do out here tonight? The same thing they’ve been doing for months now? Threaten the WWE and then follow it up with no real actions?

WADE BARRETT: No real actions? Again, Cole, they attacked Mankind last week. They put you in the hospital earlier this year.

MICHAEL COLE: Aside from a few moments, these guys have been all talk. This is a group that claimed to win every championship in WWE before January 1st, 2025. What do they have to show for that?

WADE BARRETT: Dakota Kai.

MICHAEL COLE: Dakota Kai, that’s it! These guys have been all talk and I, for one, am done hearing it!

WADE BARRETT: They’re going to put you back in the hospital.

MICHAEL COLE: I’d like to see them try!

The Bucks and Cena are in the ring and asking for microphones from the ringside crew. The music fades as the Jackson Brothers and John Cena are booed mercilessly before they even say a word.

NICK JACKSON: What’s the line? Last week was only just the beginning?

MATT JACKSON: I think that’s the line, yeah.

NICK JACKSON: Last week’s attack on Mankind was only just the beginning. We did what others couldn’t and we put Mankind down for good.

MATT JACKSON: A fifty-nine year old man! Think about that! This is a man who should be at home, cashing his social security checks and pension payments. Not making a mess week in and week out in our ring.

JOHN CENA: Mankind is a blight upon WWE. He is everything that’s wrong with this place. He was to be made an example.

NICK JACKSON: But an example of what? What have we been coming out here and saying repeatedly to the WWE locker room? What are the threats that have continuously fallen on deaf ears?

JOHN CENA: We are here to terminate the WWE. Piece by piece. Mankind was the next domino that fell but you’ve already seen what happens when you stand in the nWo Elite’s way.

NICK JACKSON: Has anyone seen The Patriarchy since we dealt with them?

MATT JACKSON: Mercedes Moné has missing posters out for her, for goodness sake!

JOHN CENA: How are these warnings not being taken seriously? All we’ve done is destroy people and make them disappear.

NICK JACKSON: Hell, there are people that have disappeared at our hands that you don’t even know about.

Matt puts his hand up to stop Nick from going any further.

MATT JACKSON: So, what’s next? Maybe it’d be more direct to ask who is next?

NICK JACKSON: Is that a Goldberg quote?

MATT JACKSON: No, because we’re going to actually follow through on our threats. I’m not going to mince words any longer and get directly to the point.

MICHAEL COLE: A welcome change.

MATT JACKSON: Survivor Series is right around the corner. A Premium Live Event practically made for a matchup of the most dominant force in this place and them following through on their threats.

JOHN CENA: What he’s beating around the bush to saying is that we are challenging the WWE locker room to a match at Survivor Series.

MATT JACKSON: I was getting there…

JOHN CENA: A four against four match with stakes higher than this place have ever seen. An opportunity to guarantee your future.

NICK JACKSON: Before we get to what’s on the line, we want to see who will step up. Who is going to stand toe to toe with the most Elite group that’s ever existed in WWE?

MATT JACKSON: You see, what’s on the line in our Survivor Series match would make the locker room pour out and fall over one another to be in this match. But we want people to be in this match because they want to defend WWE. We want them in this match because they want to stop us. We want a challenge. We want people who want to be in this match.

JOHN CENA: So we’re going to hold off on telling you all what’s actually on the line in our Survivor Series four on four match but I’m going say this. I don’t expect anyone to step up and get in the ring with us. Because each and every person in that locker room knows what happens when you step in that ring with us. That’s why no one came to Mankind’s aid last week and helped him when he was getting his ass beat by - -

The lights in the arena go out and the crowd starts to cheer, not even knowing what to expect but they’re just tired of hearing the nWo Elite.

MICHAEL COLE: I’m not sure what’s happening here, but I appreciate the nWo Elite being interrupted!

The arena is shrouded in darkness as Mankind appears at the top of the ramp, silhouetted by a faint, flickering light. His shredded shirt is smeared with the black “nWo Elite” spray-paint, a cruel brand of humiliation that hangs from him like a banner of war. He stands there, breathing heavily, the tension in the air thick enough to cut with a knife. The crowd watches in hushed anticipation as he lifts the microphone to his lips, his voice low and dangerous, trembling with restrained fury.

MANKIND: You think I’m finished, don’t you? You think this torn flesh, these beaten bones, this…

Mankind holds up the spray-painted shirt with disgust.

MANKIND: Paint you tried to burn into me, means I’m broken? No… no, you don’t understand at all.

NICK JACKSON: Look at you! You’re still covered in the paint from last week! Did you even bathe?

JOHN CENA: I already put you down once, Mankind, and I’ll have no problem personally doing it again.

He yanks off the shredded, painted shirt, revealing a stark white dress shirt underneath. He holds up the ruined fabric, staring down at it with seething contempt, his voice raw and venomous.

MANKIND: You wanted to take credit, didn’t you, Cena? You wanted to say you ended me. That your little pack of scavengers… your “elite”… finally put Mankind to rest. But you don’t get to end what you never understood. You can paint your name on my back… but I am not yours to claim. I am not yours to control. I AM A NIGHTMARE THAT CRAWLS OUT OF THE SHADOWS...a monster that refuses to die.

JOHN CENA: That’s not your choice. You will be ended when we decide to end you. You think you can rise from the ashes like a Phoenix? Flying directly towards the sun for some kind of career rebirth?

Mankind tosses the tattered, spray-painted shirt to the ground, crushing it under his boot as he steps forward, his voice rising with intensity.

MANKIND: There is no sunshine for me… only darkness. Only an endless, gnawing emptiness that drags me back from the edge again and again. I am the destruction I have lived with every single day. I don’t care what it costs. I don’t care if I walk into that ring at Survivor Series alone.

MATT JACKSON: What?! Are you accepting the challenge?

Mankind paces like a caged animal, his voice laced with venom and pain.

MANKIND: You tried to take credit for breaking me. But I built this pain. I crafted every scar, every wound, every fractured piece of this soul and if you think you’re ready for the darkness you’ve awoken… you’re more of a fool than I thought.

He stops, staring down the ramp with eyes blazing, his words dripping with a chilling promise.

NICK JACKSON: You can change your clothes all you want, Mankind. We’ll beat you down and spray paint any clothes you want to walk out here with. A suit, a dress shirt, a leotard. It doesn’t matter. We will beat you until you’re covered in scars!

MANKIND: I may wear your scars, but I will NEVER wear your brand. I don’t need teammates. I don’t need allies. All I need is to get my hands on you, one by one, until there’s nothing left of this “elite” but blood and regret.

The crowd roars, caught up in the sheer intensity of Mankind’s words as he steps closer to the edge of the ramp, his face twisted with fury.

MANKIND: I am the monster you failed to kill. The nightmare that keeps coming back. So, bring your army, bring every ounce of strength you think you have. Because once that bell rings, I’m going to rip you apart… and you’ll find out just how much darkness one man can unleash. At Survivor Series, when that bell rings, I will be ready to tear you all limb from limb. I accept the challenge on behalf of Team WWE, teammates be damned, you will have to deal with me.

With a final, chilling stare, Mankind throws the microphone to the ground, leaving the shredded shirt in his wake. He glares down the ramp, his white dress shirt glowing ominously under the lights. The Bucks and Cena stare up at him as his music hits. The crowd is going absolutely nuts.

MICHAEL COLE: Well there we have it, Wade. Team WWE has their first team member and it’s Mankind!

WADE BARRETT: Can’t say I’m a huge fan of the choice but it’s probably the right choice. The man has a serious vendetta against the nWo Elite.

MICHAEL COLE: It shouldn’t be difficult to find teammates for anyone wanting to take on Cena and the Bucks.

WADE BARRETT: They haven’t even said what’s on the line in their match yet though. That may change some minds.

MICHAEL COLE: Well with the news of Mankind taking on this challenge against the nWo Elite you have to wonder if it’s a smart decision on his part.

WADE BARRETT: Of course it’s not smart, but at least he’s got the balls to take on the nWo Elite which isn’t something many of our superstars can say they’ve done!

MICHAEL COLE: Well if we want to talk about smart decisions, we can certainly attest to the team of Mickie and Fallon being a good one! Those two will be taking on Ash and Tiara next to try and get themselves a victory here tonight!

”Elegance Personified” begin to play over the P/A system as a flash of lights hits the stage when Ash by Elegance, Tiara James and The Personal Concierge appear to the disapproval of the crowd. Both ladies are dressed to kill and tonight they pose for the crowd before they make their way down the ramp.



SAMANTHA IRVIN: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall! Making their way to the ring, accompanied by The Personal Concierge, Elegance Enterprises, Assshhh by Elllegaaaance and Tiiiarrra Jaaameees!

MICHAEL COLE: This pair feeds off each other’s praise for one another, both ladies have the looks most women would die for and their moves in the ring are deadly!

WADE BARRETT: I think these two have what it takes to make for a great tag team, Cole! As much as I love Mickie and Fallon, I can’t decide which team I would like to see more challenging in the future for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships!

As they get to the ring The Personal Concierge assists both ladies up the stairs before making his way up to hold the ropes open for them. Tiara and Ash pose for the fans but seem to be blissfully unaware of the hate the crowd sends their way with their boos. “Hardcore Country” hits the P/A system of the arena and the crowd comes alive with cheers now! Both of the ladies in the ring scrunch up their noses at the sound though. Mickie and Fallon joyfully begin to dance onto the stage though and hold their heads high as they put their cowboy hats up into the air to the delight of the crowd!



SAMANTHA IRVIN: And their opponents, making their way to the ring, Boots & Belles, Miiickiiie Jaaameees and Falllooon Hennnleeey!

MICHAEL COLE: Mickie takes Fallon under her wing, and you can tell these two are serious about teaming up because they have thrown their hat into the mix for two weeks in a row in tag team competition!

WADE BARRETT: The legend and the rookie are certainly doing their best to establish themselves as a team! This week they’ve got a test in another new team, Elegance Enterprises! I’m just excited to see this division heating up!

Mickie and Fallon slap a few hands on their way down the ramp with smiles on their faces. Both ladies thankfully recovered well enough after the attack on them last week after Ripley and Baker saved them.

---

Ash looks to clock Mickie, but she avoids it and connects with a low dropkick to Ash! As Ash falls to the mat, Mickie comes in with another low dropkick, this time to the side of her head, and makes the cover, 1…2…Ash kicks out! Mickie makes a quick tag, bringing Fallon into the match for the first time! Mickie and Fallon work together, laying into Ash with a series of kicks before they lift her up and nail a dual gutbuster! Fallon makes the cover, 1…2..Ash kicks out again! Tiara looks angry on the apron as her partner is isolated from making a tag. Fallon lays in a few kicks before she sends Ash into the corner and makes a tag back to Mickie. Both women lay into Ash with another series of kicks before they toss her out of the corner, and Fallon climbs to the top rope before she nails a diving leg drop onto Ash. She goes for the cover, 1…2..Ash barely gets the shoulder up!

MICHAEL COLE: Ash might be regretting her decision to start this one!

WADE BARRETT: Tiara certainly must be worried about her partner! She’s been ganged up on by this pair of thugs!

Fallon gets back to her feet and heads to the corner, lining up with Ash once again. Ash struggles to her feet as Fallon charges in, and Ash counters with a HIP TOSS! She cartwheels her way to the front of Fallon and then delivers a kick straight to the nose of her opponent! Fallon gets to her feet close to the opposition’s corner, and Ash comes in for a running clothesline, but Henley rolls under it! Ash makes the tag to her partner, however, and brings her in for the first time in this match! Fallon makes the tag to Mickie, and the two women come face-to-face talking smack!

MICHAEL COLE: It’s James vs. James, Wade!

WADE BARRETT: Mickie and Tiara don’t look like family to me!

Tiara looks serious as she cranks her neck and comes forward with a forearm shot, but Mickie ducks it! Mickie fights back with a couple of her own and keeps Tiara off balance. Mickie spins around and nails a roundhouse kick to the gut of Tiara! She grabs her around the back of the neck and springboards off the ropes with a bulldog before she makes the cover, 1…2…Tiara kicks out! Mickie grabs her up and goes for another kick, but her right leg is caught. Tiara drives an elbow sharply down on the knee as Mickie screams in pain! Tiara whips around and nails an enzuigiri that rocks Mickie! Tiara picks Mickie up onto her shoulders and drops back SAMOAN DROP! Mickie rolls out of the ring to catch her breath after having the wind knocked out of her.

MICHAEL COLE: Rough landing by Mickie!

WADE BARRETT: Tiara certainly showing her worth here to Ash!

Tiara goes to work though as she follows Mickie out of the ring and grabs her and tosses her into the barricade! Mickie tries to get back to her feet but gets tossed shoulder first into the ringpost by Tiara! Mickie stumbles her way around the outside, and Tiara grabs her by the hair and bounces her face off the announce table! Tiara talks her trash as Mickie still tries to collect herself, but it’s to no avail as Tiara isn’t done yet. She grabs Mickie by the hair and once again tosses her; this time she goes back first into the ring steps as they break apart on impact!

MICHAEL COLE: Tiara is not playing around!

WADE BARRETT: Elegance Enterprises wants to get their name in that Tag Team Championship hat sooner rather than later!

Tiara grabs Mickie off the floor and rolls her into the ring now, slides in, and goes for the pin, 1…2…Mickie barely gets the shoulder up! Tiara begins to throw a fit as Ash tries to rein her in and calm her down from the corner. Both women speak for a moment before she points at Mickie and commands Tiara! Tiara walks up to Mickie, grabs her by the hair, pulls her up to her feet, picks her up, and slams her down with a spinebuster, TOP TIER TAKEDOWN! Tiara makes the cover, 1…2…Fallon dives in and breaks it up as she shoves Tiara off! Fallon now nails a backfist to Ash and knocks her off the apron! She spins around and picks Tiara up, spins her upside down, and scoop slams her to the canvas as the crowd cheers her on! Fallon begins to go to check on Mickie, but her feet get pulled out from underneath her as she lands on her face and gets pulled out of the ring by a now-recovered Ash, who throws a slap that echoes in the arena as Fallon falls to the floor and clutches at her face with both hands!

MICHAEL COLE: Fallon saved her partner, but she needs to save herself now!

WADE BARRETT: I think Ash really leveled her with that slap!

Tiara and Ash share a wink before she grabs Mickie again and this time brings her up onto her shoulders and drives her down with a shoulder-carry gutbuster, HUMBLE HER! Ash gets back on the apron and reaches out as Tiara makes the tag to her! Ash slowly makes her way to the top rope and does a pose for the fans before she flies off and nails Mickie with Rarified Air! Ash hooks the leg, and Tiara laughs as Fallon desperately tries to find the ring, but we can now see why, as it appears she was blinded with some sort of powder during that slap from Ash! 1…2…3!



SAMANTHA IRVIN: Here are your winners, Elegance Enterprises, ASH BY ELEGANCE AND TIARA JAMES!

MICHAEL COLE: Ash cheated! She blinded Fallon with some sort of powder!

WADE BARRETT: She just wanted to clean her up a bit, Cole! That’s not cheating! She was just helping her out!

Ash and Tiara make their way out of the ring as they celebrate with The Personal Concierge, who has a bottle of bubbly in hand and two champagne flutes. Both women hold their glasses as he pours them a generous helping, and they clink them together before taking a drink. Ringside attendants tend to Mickie and Fallon, toweling off Fallon's eyes as they attempt to remove as much powder as possible. Both ladies from Elegance Enterprises just laugh their way backwards up the ramp only to turn around and spot the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Shotzi Blackheart and Abadon, standing at the top of the stage. Both teams stare at one another as The Personal Concierge gets shoved in front of Ash and Tiara to protect them from any oncoming possible threat.

The camera cuts to the backstage area where we see Carmella walking down a hallway, stopping outside of a closed door. The sign next to the door reads “Stephanie McMahon” on it. Carmella lets out a light sigh and brings her hand up, knocking on the door. Stephanie calls from inside and tells whoever it is to come into the office. Carmella enters and closes the office door behind her.

STEPHANIE MCMAHON: Carmella, great to see you.

CARMELLA: Hello Mrs. McMahon-Helmsley. I hope I’m not interrupting.

STEPHANIE MCMAHON: Carmella, when I took this job, I knew the consequences of it. The main one being that I would have a number of guests on a weekly basis.

CARMELLA: That makes sense.

STEPHANIE MCMAHON: So I assure you, you’re not interrupting. I am curious as to the reason for this visit though. Your husband is the world champion now, I would assume that you wouldn’t have many requests of me.

CARMELLA: Well, about that…

Stephanie has a paper in one hand and a pen in the other. As Carmella tries to gather her thoughts, Stephanie’s interest is piqued and she puts the paper and pen down, giving Carmella her full attention.

CARMELLA: …I’m not exactly with Corey anymore. I mean, I am with him. We’re still together. He’s just asked for a professional separation where I’m no longer his manager.

STEPHANIE MCMAHON: Oh?

CARMELLA: Yeah, but I still have the desire to be out there and be managing. That’s the reason why I’m here.

STEPHANIE MCMAHON: Go on.

CARMELLA: I think I’ve found someone that needs a little management in his life…Joey Janela.

Stephanie furrows her brow.

STEPHANIE MCMAHON: You’ve got to be kidding me.

CARMELLA: I’m afraid not. I think we can both agree that the ending to Janela’s match at Halloween Havoc wasn’t exactly something the company should feel good standing behind.

STEPHANIE MCMAHON: Well, I think an argument could be made that Janela should not have lost the match in the manner he did.

CARMELLA: Right and I think Joey should be compensated for the poor officiating during that match.

STEPHANIE MCMAHON: We do have the Intercontinental Championship battle royal tonight. I could get him in that match if we can get some paperwork signed real quick.

CARMELLA: No, not the Intercontinental Championship. I was thinking about something…bigger.

Stephanie tilts her head at this comment.

STEPHANIE MCMAHON: You mean?

CARMELLA: Yes, a WWE Championship match against Corey Graves. I mean, look at it. My client...

She stops herself and chuckles.

CARMELLA: Listen to me, already calling him my client. Joey has a tremendous record since joining WWE earlier this year and it would be a great show of support to the WWE locker room if he was given the opportunity. Think about it. Joey Janela. Corey Graves. Main event at Survivor Series. I can see their faces on the marquee now.

STEPHANIE MCMAHON: Can you?

CARMELLA: You don’t?

STEPHANIE MCMAHON: I’ll be honest with you. Joey Janela isn’t exactly a face we are looking to promote. Just from a pure aesthetic standpoint. He can, however, wrestle and you are correct in saying that the ending of his match at Halloween Havoc isn’t a great look no matter how much I think Ricky Starks makes for a great Intercontinental Champion. I think you have a point in saying he deserves an opportunity, and I really can’t find any fault in your logic. That being said, I think you’ve got yourself a match for Survivor Series. Joey Janela and Corey Graves for the WWE Championship.

CARMELLA: That’s great to hear, Stephanie. Thank you so much.

Carmella gives her a big smile and turns, leaving the office and closing the door behind her as the scene fades back to the arena.

MICHAEL COLE: What in the world!? We have ourselves a world title match for Survivor Series!

WADE BARRETT: Carmella has pulled all the right strings and got Joey Janela a world title match!

MICHAEL COLE: Corey Graves is not going to like this one bit!

WADE BARRETT: He’s going to have to deal with it, Cole!

We cut the backstage area to find Byron Saxton in the interview area.

BYRON SAXTON: Ladies and gentlemen. Tonight, there will be an 8-Man Number One Contender Battle Royal for the Intercontinental Championship. My guest at this time is one of the participants. Please welcome…Bobby Roode.

The crowd boos as Bobby enters the interview area to join Byron

BOBBY ROODE: Byron. I am a man of the cloth. Doing years’ worth of research, work, and divinization for our Lord. Please call me Pastor Bobby.

BYRON SAXTON: My apologies. Pastor Bobby, please shed some light on your thoughts about your match tonight.

BOBBY ROODE: Byron. Tonight is step one of the Lord's Kingdom taking over this dark place known as the WWE.

BYRON SAXTON: By the Lord's Kingdom…you mean the church you and the Glorious B's started, right?

Bobby Roode's restrained pearly white smile transforms into a look of disgust. As if catching himself in the moment, Bobby playfully chuckles.

BOBBY ROODE: O ye of little faith. Fear not, Byron. After The Glorious B's capture the Intercontinental Title, our Lord's gospel will go far and wide. And no one will be able to stop us.

Suddenly, Tommy End walks into the shot, surprising both Byron and Bobby. The crowd cheers loudly, and Byron is caught between the two men as Tommy gives a look of pure hate in Bobby's direction.

BOBBY ROODE: Tommy End. It was a pleasure to formally meet you last week. And since our previous interaction. I had Bishop Corbin do a little digging up on your past.

Byron's expression changes to one of curiosity. Tommy's doesn't change at all.

BOBBY ROODE: And Tommy, I'm sorry to inform you that not only have you broken the first commandment, but you have also broken the fifth one as well. For you see, how can you honor parents that you never had in the first place?

As Roode finishes his last word, the rest of the Glorious B’s walk into the shot. The crowd boos even louder than before. Tommy's anger is now mixed with shame as he looks at the floor. Father Martin shows up. The Glorious B’s back away with grins of contentment.

FATHER MARTIN: Thomas. Pay no mind to those charlatans. They speak only lies.

Tommy knocks Father Martin's hands off his shoulder and turns away from the cleric.

TOMMY END: Where were you last week, priest?

FATHER MARTIN: I was there Thomas. You didn't see me. You didn't even want me around, but I was there. I saw what they did to you, Thomas, those men are pure evil. Tonight, you mustn't fight evil with evil.

Tommy turns around and grabs Father Martin by his shirt, shocking the old priest into silence. Tommy's face is nose to nose with Father Martin.

TOMMY END: Leave the arena and stay out of my business, priest.

Tommy lets go of Father Martin. The old priest looks hurt but nods his head in obedience. He walks away as Tommy stands there alone as the cameras fade back to ringside.

MICHAEL COLE: A rather tense exchange between Tommy End and Father Martin!

WADE BARRETT: I’m not sure why Father Martin keeps trying to save Tommy End, it’s clear to me that End thinks he’s just fine and wants no part of anything Father Martin is offering!

MICHAEL COLE: He’s optimistic I guess, Wade! Someone else who’s feeling optimistic is Naomi, who got an impressive win over Gigi Dolin last week and she looks to continue the momentum here tonight against Blair Davenport!

The lights in the arena go out and “Glow” by def rebel featuring Billy B begins to play and the crowd begins to cheer as Naomi dances out to the top of the ramp.



SAMANTHA IRVIN: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Already in the ring, Blair Davenport! And her opponent, making her way to the ring, The Glow Star, Naaaooomiii!

MICHAEL COLE: Naomi is looking as fierce and energetic as ever here tonight, Wade!

WADE BARRETT: She had a bit of a rough start here in the new era, but things took a turn for her last week with that victory over Gigi Dolin and it’s clear that she’s feeling confident!

With a burst of energy, Naomi leaps into the air and then runs and slides down the ramp on her knees. Standing up and continuing to dance to the beat of the music as she slaps hands of the fans in the front row. Getting to the bottom of the ramp, Naomi jumps up onto the apron and then grabs the top rope, launching herself over and into the ring, dancing in the center as the lights come up! Taking off her jacket and shades, Naomi hands them off to the ringside attendant before turning to look at Blair Davenport with a smile.

---

---

Naomi and Davenport face off, circling each other for a moment as each woman sizes the other up. Finally, Davenport comes charging in with a lariat that would take Naomi’s head off, but Naomi ducks it! Before Davenport can spin around, Naomi jumps up and takes her down with a cutter! The Glow Girl kips up and hits the ropes, and comes charging back in with a dropkick that floors Davenport once again!

MICHAEL COLE: Hard hitting offense from Naomi to open it!

WADE BARRETT: Davenport may be out of it!

Indeed, Blair Davenport is seeing stars as Naomi gets back to her feet. She hits the rope once again and leaps into the air, landing hard on Davenport’s midsection while doing the splits! Naomi turns and locks Davenport in the headscissors chokehold she calls the FTG! Davenport tries to rip herself out of it, but Naomi locks it in and she’s forced to tap!



SAMANTHA IRVIN: Here is your winner, NAAAOOOMIIIi!

MICHAEL COLE: What a win by Naomi here! She’s really made a statement to the women’s locker room here!

WADE BARRETT: I may not be a big fan of the “Glow,” Cole, but I’ll admit that she brought the thunder to the Paycom Center!

Naomi stands in the center of the ring, beaming as the official raises her hand in the air and the crowd cheers. As “Glow” begins to play, she begins to dance and pump her fist along to the beat while Blair Davenport rolls out of the ring and walks towards the back, cursing her defeat.

“Celtic Invasion” by CFO$ plays, causing the crowd to explode into cheers as Becky Lynch walks out from the back.



SAMANTHA IRVIN: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome The Man, Beckyyy Lyyynch!

MICHAEL COLE: Honestly, Wade, I'm surprised that Becky is here tonight after what happened to her last week!

WADE BARRETT: Becky is tough but whatever she has planned for tonight is probably not the best idea!

Becky heads straight to the ring, noticeably placing a hand on her midsection as she enters the ring. Becky grabs a microphone as her music fades out.

BECKY LYNCH: Let's cut to the chase, Jamie Hayter you tried to end my career last week by slamming a door on me. While you may have succeeded in injuring me, you failed at ending my career so why don't you get your ass out here and try again?

WADE BARRETT: I told you, Michael, that whatever Becky had planned probably wasn't gonna be a good idea.

“Teenage Nosferatu Pussy” hit and the crowd boos as Jamie Hayter comes out.



MICHAEL COLE: It looks like Hayter is here to finish what she started last week.

In the ring, Becky is motioning for Jamie to come into the ring, but instead, Jamie stops on the ramp and pulls a microphone out of her pocket.

JAMIE HAYTER: I think it’s cute that you’re trying to act so tough when I know for a fact that you’re more hurt than you’re letting on. Some people would say that’s a show of toughness.

The crowd starts cheering in response to Becky’s perceived toughness.

JAMIE HAYTER: To me, that isn’t a show of toughness. It’s only a show of stupidity, because you’re too stupid to realize that you had your time and now it’s over. It’s my time now. Everyone knows you didn’t earn a damn thing here, and everyone knows that my hard work is the reason why this company is running as well as it is. The fact that everyone else gets rewarded for everything I do makes me sick.

The crowd boos Jamie in response while she makes her way to the ringside area.

JAMIE HAYTER: I’m the one that’s always tirelessly out there promoting this company and I’m the one that fills these seats, yet I don’t get rewarded for it. The only people that ever get rewarded are lazy bitches like you and everyone else that has sought my downfall.

Jamie climbs up onto the apron.

JAMIE HAYTER: The Jamie Hayter Revenge Tour is now in full effect, and you are the first victim. When I get done with you, you won’t be coming back.

Jamie says as she enters the ring and comes face to face with Becky, glaring into her eyes.

JAMIE HAYTER: I will put you in a wheelchair for the rest of your life.

Becky chuckles a bit before speaking.

BECKY LYNCH: You know you remind me of someone. You remind me of me. You see, you claim that I didn't earn anything, but if you honestly believe that then you don't know me very well. There was a time when I was in a similar position as you, someone who had some success but hadn't reached the top and I was frustrated. Then one night, I looked my best friend in the eyes after she became champion and as I looked at her, someone who unlike me had reached the tippy top, someone who had been champion multiple times, everything that happened in my career ran through my mind.

Becky pauses for a bit as she remembers what happened.

BECKY LYNCH: Then I knocked her upside the head and on that day, I made the decision to let my frustrations fuel me. I used my frustrations to my advantage and the rest is history. The difference between me and you, Jamie, is that while I used my anger to capitalize and succeed, you fail to use your anger and you fail at your goals every single time.

Jamie gives a visibly false smile and then punches Becky in the face.

MICHAEL COLE: Uh-oh. Here we go!

WADE BARRETT: A punch from Jamie is enough to knock anyone out cold!

Becky responds with a punch of her own and the two start trading punches! The crowd goes crazy but soon starts booing as officials come into the ring and start separating the two!

MICHAEL COLE: The crowd is not happy but thank goodness for the officials coming out and putting a stop to this!

Becky soon breaks away from the officials holding her back and lands a punch on Jamie before being restrained again. Now more pissed than before, Jamie breaks away from the officials holding her and takes advantage of an opening by kicking Becky in her injured ribs. Jamie follows it up by jumping onto Becky with a Lou Thesz Press and starts repeatedly punching Becky in the face.

MICHAEL COLE: A Lou Thesz Press from Jamie? That’s unusual.

WADE BARRETT: Yeah, but you know she’ll do anything to destroy her enemies. She’ll resort to anything to destroy those that have sought her downfall!

The officials try to pry Jamie off of Becky, but she won’t budge. More officials come out and the extra help proves to be enough to pull Jamie off of Becky. As she’s being pulled away, Jamie manages to break free again and punts Becky hard in the ribs, forcing the air out of Becky’s body before finally being pulled away.

MICHAEL COLE: Another shot to the ribs!

Jamie leaves the ring with officials following her to make sure she doesn't attack Becky again. As Jamie is making her way up the ramp, Becky’s voice is heard.

BECKY LYNCH: HEY!

Jamie turns around and the camera cuts to Becky sitting in a corner of the ring with a microphone in hand while the other is clutching her ribs. As Becky starts to speak again, the struggle to breathe and speak is noticeable.

BECKY LYNCH: You…me…Madison Square Garden…Saturday Night's Main Event!

The crowd cheers loudly as Becky's music plays again.

MICHAEL COLE: Becky Lynch has laid out the challenge for this Saturday, and I'm sure Jamie Hayter has no problem with that!

WADE BARRETT: This is a bad move on Becky's part, Jamie Hayter is one of the most dangerous women in the sport today and she has made it her mission to end Becky's career.Not to mention that Becky's ribs will be nowhere near a hundred percent come Saturday Night's Main Event!

Our cameras are backstage with Byron Saxton, who is once again, on the hunt for…

BYRON SAXTON: Intercontinental Champion Ricky Starks!

Saxton spots Starks before the cameras do, the champ is chit chatting with some of the makeup artists when he hears his name called. Ricky turns and pulls his sunglasses off, a big sigh coming out once he realizes it was Byron.

RICKY STARKS: Not this again.

BYRON SAXTON: I wanted to ask you about a few things—

RICKY STARKS: I bet you do. The only problem is, I already know what you’re gonna ask me. You’re gonna ask me about Jelly Janela’s foot on the ropes at Halloween Havoc when you should be asking me about tonight's Battle Royal.

BYRON SAXTON: Well, yes—

RICKY STARKS: Look at my shirt. Do I look like a zebra? Do I dress like a referee? It’s not my job to help that tub of lard. Foot on the rope or not, his shoulders were down for three. The decision hasn’t been overturned, nor will it… Sounds like it’s not such a big deal as you’re making it.

BYRON SAXTON: But it brings to question the legitimacy—

RICKY STARKS: You wanna question somebody? I’ve got the perfect person.

Ricky stares over Byron’s shoulder, and when Byron turns to look? He’s met with the intimidating Megan Bayne, arms crossed and a glare that could end a life.

RICKY STARKS: It’s about time you’re here.

Megan simply steps to the side, looking off screen - - and Byron gets the hint immediately. He leaves the scene, which prompts Ricky to do what he does best and complain.

RICKY STARKS: Can you believe him? Questioning my reign? Nobody else has made this title feel as important as I have, nobody has had more people dying to get a hold of them and I’ve only been Champion for what, a few weeks? Ridiculous.

Of course, Ricky doesn’t expect a reply from the mainly mute Megan. So when he gets one, he’s caught by surprise. Even more so when he realizes who it is.

STEPHANIE MCMAHON: Don’t worry, Ricky, I’ll have a chat with Byron about making sure he puts some respect on your name.

Ricky turns his head to the left, locking eyes with Stephanie. A big smile grows on his face.

RICKY STARKS: Thank you! But, come to think of it, I think we should be more worried about him putting some respect on your name. I mean, he’s questioning your decision to keep me as champion too. It’d be a shame if others started to get ideas from Byron of all people.

Stephanie tilts her head slightly as she thinks this over.

STEPHANIE MCMAHON: You know what? You’re right. I think my conversation with Saxton is about to get a lot more serious.

RICKY STARKS: Glad I could be of assistance. I just don’t see how someone can question you. I mean, look at all the good you’ve done since taking over. A shining example right here, of course.

Ricky taps his Intercontinental Championship, giving a slight nod as he does. There, he comes to the realization that Bayne hasn’t taken her eyes off Stephanie since she approached.

RICKY STARKS: Sorry, where are my manners? I know you two obviously know of each other, but it’s always been a dream of mine to introduce one goddess to another.

Ricky gives a slick smirk as he motions to each “goddess” while he says their name.

RICKY STARKS: Megan Bayne, you know Ms. Stephanie McMahon. Ms. McMahon, you know Megan Bayne - my new muscle. Can’t be too careful with all these people lined up, looking for me.

Stephanie gives Megan a nod.

STEPHANIE MCMAHON: Megan, good to see you.

Stephanie turns her attention back to Ricky.

STEPHANIE MCMAHON: I assume that I’m not one of the reasons for this new arrangement?

RICKY STARKS: Au contraire, you’re one of the few who is actively welcome into the stratosphere of Ricky Starks. We had to have you on the list. A personal request of mine, of course.

Stephanie smiles.

STEPHANIE MCMAHON: I’m honored. So, how are you feeling about everything?

Ricky raises an eyebrow, a smirk on his face.

RICKY STARKS: The battle royal? Pffft, have you seen the line up? Orange Cassidy? The Boring B’s? May the Lord forgive me for what I’ll do to any of them. I’ll do my best to keep it TV appropriate if they make it that far.

Stephanie smirks.

STEPHANIE MCMAHON: And I take it you’re not concerned about Damian Priest?

RICKY STARKS: Damian… Priest? Mister ‘I’m gonna stay in the shadows’? I mean, the guy’s already told the world that Ricky Starks overshadows him. Doesn’t seem like there’s much to worry about unless I need to find black eyeliner within a 100-mile radius of this hellhole. Or a formidable opponent.

Stephanie chuckles.

STEPHANIE MCMAHON: Fair enough. Well, I probably shouldn’t take up much more of your time, I’m sure you’re trying to get ready to go out for commentary. If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go to catering to get something to eat.

RICKY STARKS: Save me a plate. I know I’ll be hungry after running circles around Cole and Barrett out there.

Ricky then moves his head, signaling for Megan to follow. As he walks off, he stops to look back and leave Ms. McMahon with some final words.

RICKY STARKS: Until next time, Stephanie…

As he addresses the boss by her first name, Ricky leaves the lasting image of his smiling face on the screen. We fade out as he turns and continues walking, Megan Bayne in tow.

MICHAEL COLE: Well, here we go. We are about to find out who the next challenger for the Intercontinental Championship will be as we have eight men all vying to take on the champ. And speaking of the champ, joining us on commentary for this match is going to be the Intercontinental Champion himself, Ricky Starks!

WADE BARRETT: Finally, a decent commentary partner!

RICKY STARKS: Wade, you flatter me! I’m here to get a firsthand look at the man who will lose to me at a time to be determined later.

MICHAEL COLE: Well, be that as it may, we’ve got quite the collection of talent here.

RICKY STARKS: The collection can’t be that talented if I’m not in it!

”Glorious” hits the P.A. system and while you would expect the whole group to appear, only Baron Corbin comes through the curtain, and he starts to make his way down to the ring.



SAMANTHA IRVIN: Our next contest is an eight man over the top rope battle royal, and he winner will be the number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship! Introducing first, representing the Glorious B’s, Barrrooon Corrrbiiin!

MICHAEL COLE: The muscle of The Glorious B’s. We saw Corbin take John Cena to the limit a few weeks ago but come up short there!

WADE BARRETT: This guy has a little mean streak in him though. Not very church-like if you ask me!

RICKY STARKS: This guy wrestles in a vest? That’s a look if I’ve ever seen one but I’m not gonna lie. I like it. Sleeves just hold a man back!

MICHAEL COLE: Do they?

WADE BARRETT: Ricky, Cole doesn’t understand because he has no muscles in his body.

RICKY STARKS: We need to get that man in the gym!

”Glorious” continues to play as Corbin gets into the ring. Bo Dallas is next out and gives a thumbs up to the crowd. Of all the Glorious B’s, he seems to at least be the most popular for what that’s worth.



SAMANTHA IRVIN: Introducing next, also representing The Glorious B’s, Booo Daaallaaas!

MICHAEL COLE: Here comes another member of The Glorious B’s in Bo Dallas.

RICKY STARKS: This guy is a little kooky, isn’t he?

WADE BARRETT: I think he’s been through a lot. Not sure about being kooky.

RICKY STARKS: Who are we to call out kooky people, Wade?

WADE BARRETT: Isn’t there a bible verse about glass houses or something?

RICKY STARKS: I don’t believe that was in the bible, no.

Bo steps into the ring as Corbin shakes his head at him. “Glorious” continues to play on the P.A. system and now Pastor Bobby Roode appears at the top of the ramp, holding his arms out to his side before he makes his way down to join his cohorts.



SAMANTHA IRVIN: Introducing next, also representing The Glorious B’s, Bobbyyy Roooooode!

MICHAEL COLE: And now comes the leader of The Glorious B’s to join this match!

RICKY STARKS: How many of these guys are there?

WADE BARRETT: Just the three.

MICHAEL COLE: The B’s will undoubtedly have the numbers advantage in this one. I’d be surprised if anyone else but one of these three won this match.

”Glorious” finally fades out as the arena darkens. “Punishment” by Def Rebel hits and there’s a number of fans cheering as Damian Priest appears at the top of the entrance ramp.



SAMANTHA IRVIN: Introducing next, making his way to the ring, The Punisher, Daaamiaaan Priiieeest!

MICHAEL COLE: Priest had a good win last week over Tommy End but The Glorious B’s got involved in that as well.

RICKY STARKS: Wait, so the guy named ‘Priest’ is not in the religious group? How does this make any sense?

WADE BARRETT: He makes a good point!

MICHAEL COLE: Priest has the size advantage in this match but he’s going to have to overcome the numbers disadvantage he’ll find himself under.

”Unscripted Violence” starts to play and Jon Moxley starts walking in through the crowd instead of using the entrance ramp. Fans smack him on the shoulders as he passes them.



SAMANTHA IRVIN: Introducing next, making his way to the ring, The Purveyor of Violence, Jooon Moooxleeeyyy!

MICHAEL COLE: We’ve not seen a lot from Moxley since his back and forth with Carlito. Though to be fair, we haven’t seen a lot of Carlito since then either.

WADE BARRETT: Moxley is a dangerous man. He can’t be counted out in this one.

RICKY STARKS: You say Corbin has a mean streak in him. This guy Moxley is a living mean streak.

MICHAEL COLE: This type of match could play right into Jon Moxley’s hands.

”Superkick Party” hits and the crowd immediately starts to boo as Matt Menard appears at the top of the ramp.



SAMANTHA IRVIN: Introducing next, making his way to the ring, representing the nWo Elite, Daddy Magic, Maaatt Meeenaarrrd!

MICHAEL COLE: Any time there’s a member of nWo Elite involved, I have to worry about the outcome of the match.

WADE BARRETT: I think this is a little different. The nWo Elite don’t seem entirely on board with Menard’s inclusion into the group.

MICHAEL COLE: That is true. They don’t seem to care much about him or this match.

RICKY STARKS: This guy is just trying to fit in. It’s kind of sad if you look at it. Guy needs some friends.

WADE BARRETT: Maybe The Blueprint should reach out to him.

RICKY STARKS: I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that.

”Where is My Mind” starts to play and the crowd cheers as a very nonplussed Orange Cassidy appears at the top of the ramp. A small puff of smoke goes off from pyro that never really fully went off.



SAMANTHA IRVIN: Introducing next, making his way to the ring Orrrange Caaassidyyy!

MICHAEL COLE: Can we call this the wildcard of the match?

RICKY STARKS: There’s nothing wild about this guy.

WADE BARRETT: Hands in his pockets. Stumbling down the ramp. Is there anything this guy can do?

MICHAEL COLE: You guys might be in for a surprise if you count Orange Cassidy out.

”The Devil Made Me Do It” starts to play and while Tommy End would usually opt for a more prolonged entrance, he makes his way down the ramp with tempo and pace and looks focused to take the fight to The Glorious B’s.



SAMANTHA IRVIN: And introducing last, making his way to the ring, The Beenderman, Tommyyy Ennnd!

MICHAEL COLE: Tommy End has that look in his eyes, guys.

WADE BARRETT: Maybe the quickest I’ve ever seen End move!

RICKY STARKS: Now this guy just straight up freaks me out!

End rolls into the ring and makes a beeline for the corner with The Glorious B’s in it as the referees on the outside call for the bell.

---

---

We are officially underway and Tommy End is going right at The Glorious B’s who had all congregated in one corner of the ring. End went right for Bobby Roode and was delivering strike after strike to him while Bo Dallas tries to pull him off. Corbin puts his hands up and backs away from it all, watching them go at it. Jon Moxley streams across the ring and grabs Tommy End from behind, pulling him away from the B’s. Moxley swings End around and over the top rope, where Tommy lands on the apron! Moxley rears back with a big right fist and goes to drive it into Tommy End but End quickly raises his leg up and drives a kick right into Moxley’s face. Moxley stumbles back away from the ropes and End comes back into the ring between the ropes, grasping his arms around Moxley and sending him up and over the top rope with an exploder suplex where Moxley splats onto the floor, eliminating him!

SAMANTHA IRVIN: Ladies and gentlemen Jon Moxley has been eliminated!

MICHAEL COLE: That’s huge! End just eliminated Moxley!

WADE BARRETT: Moxley appeared like he was almost trying to help the B’s out but End was having none of it!

RICKY STARKS: Little surprised by that one. Thought Moxley had some moxie. You see what I did there?

MICHAEL COLE: No.

End turns his attention back to Bo and Roode, who is still recovering in the corner. As End reaches them, Bo steps up and tries to stand in between End and Roode but before Tommy can make a move, he’s blindsided by Baron Corbin and taken down. On the other side of the ring, Damian Priest has got Matt Menard staggered. Orange Cassidy is trying to just not be involved in any capacity. Booby Roode appears to have his bearing back and starts helping Baron Corbin with Tommy End. Priest and Menard are fighting with one another still as Menard tries to get back into this one. Menard reaches up and pokes Damian Priest in the eye, blinding him. Priest can’t see anything and starts reaching out blindly for Menard who has ducked down onto the mat to get away from Priest. Orange Cassidy never sees it coming though as Priest has some blurred vision but not full vision. He isn’t sure who Orange Cassidy is, but he rushes towards him, driving a big boot into Cassidy’s face, knocking him through the middle rope and to the floor! He is not eliminated because he did not go over the top rope.

WADE BARRETT: He’s out!

RICKY STARKS: Is he?

MICHAEL COLE: He is not. Cassidy got knocked through the middle rope to the floor. You have to go over the top rope and out.

Cassidy is laid out on the floor as Priest rubs his eyes to get his vision fully back. Before he can turn back around, Menard grabs him from behind, trying to rush him towards the ropes and over the top. Priest has too much balance still and keeps his feet on the mat. Menard tries to lift him up but Damian brings a back elbow into the side of Menard’s head, knocking him back. Priest turns around and Bo Dallas is rushing at him with his arms clasped over his head. He smacks Damian with an ax handle smash. Priest doubles over and Bo wraps his arm around Damian’s head. He points up to the sky as he takes off, looking to his Priest with a bulldog but as Damian is brought forward, he lifts Bo up and they rush towards the ropes where Priest hoists him up and over to the floor, eliminating him!

SAMANTHA IRVIN: Ladies and gentlemen, Bo Dallas has been eliminated!

Priest has no time to react though as Menard again grabs him from behind, rushing him towards the ropes and trying to take him up and over but again, Priest is just too tall for that. Again, Damian hits Menard with a back elbow, knocking him back. On the other side of the ring, Tommy End brings a knife’s edge chop up into Bobby Roode’s neck, knocking him back and causing him to grasp at his throat. Baron Corbin grabs End by the hair and spins him around towards him but as he does, End hits Corbin with a back heel kick to the face! Corbin is knocked back and draped on the ropes. End rushes at him but Corbin bounces back, drilling Tommy with a huge lariat clothesline, taking both men down with its impact. Orange Cassidy has crawled his way back up to the ring apron and is using the ropes to pull himself back up to his feet. But before he can get up there, Matt Menard bounces off the ropes that Cassidy is standing at and knocks him back off the apron to the floor below. Menard looks back to see Orange Cassidy toppling to the floor and as he turns around, he’s goozled around the neck by Priest! Damian lifts him up and drops him down hard with a chokeslam! Priest knows he can’t go for the pin in this match, so he bends down to pick Menard up, but as he does that, Roode comes in and takes out the back of Priest’s leg with a chop block from behind!

RICKY STARKS: Take out the big guy’s legs! Smart move!

MICHAEL COLE: Part one of the process. It has to end with him up and over the top rope.

WADE BARRETT: He knows the rules, Cole!

RICKY STARKS: I know the rules!

MICHAEL COLE: I’m just reminding you! We’ve already had confusion about Orange Cassidy getting knocked out of the ring.

Roode grabs Priest from behind, lifting him up and falling back with a back body drop. Tommy End is still working on Baron Corbin in a corner, his hands pressed up against Corbin’s face, just shoving as hard as he can. End grabs Corbin and clasps him, looking for another exploder suplex but Roode nails him from behind now, forcing him to release his hold on Baron. Menard comes rushing in and smacks Roode from behind with an axe handle smash of his own. Roode goes down to both knees and holds his arms out. Menard grabs Roode by the head and rushes him towards Damian Priest, who just got back to his feet. Roode’s head is driving right into Priest’s midsection, doubling him over and knocking Roode down as well! Damian stumbles back into the ropes and drapes his arm over the top rope. As Menard comes rushing towards him, Priest brings his boot up and stops Menard with a kick right to the face. Now it’s Priest rushing towards Menard, looking for a stiff clothesline but Menard ducks under it and Damian goes past him towards Tommy End. Tommy ducks and lifts Priest up and over the rope where Damian lands on the apron! Priest tries to climb back up to his feet and as he does, Tommy End is up and driving his foot into Priest’s face with Black Mass! Priest is knocked back and lands on the floor.

SAMANTHA IRVIN: Ladies and gentlemen, Damian Priest has been eliminated!

Before Tommy End can celebrate what he’s done, he’s drilled from behind by Matt Menard, knocking End over the ropes and onto the apron. Menard rushes towards the corner and climbs up the turnbuckles, mounting himself up on the top rope. He takes off with a flying crossbody and drills Damian Priest, who had just got to his feet on the outside! But Menard places his feet on the floor and gets up to this feet, looking to roll back into the ring but the referees stop him.

SAMANTHA IRVIN: Ladies and gentlemen, Matt Menard has been eliminated!

WADE BARRETT: He eliminated himself!

RICKY STARKS: This is why he has no friends!

MICHAEL COLE: A huge misjudgment there from Matt Menard, eliminating himself in his excitement.

WADE BARRETT: Shades of Mil Mascaras!

MICHAEL COLE: We are only down to a few men left now.

Tommy End is still on the outside of the ring on the apron. He looks down, confused at what Matt Menard just did. He gathers himself though in time to see Bobby Roode rushing towards him, trying to eliminate him. End pulls down the top rope and Roode topples over it and to the floor next to Menard and Priest! All the men have continuously landed on Orange Cassidy on the outside, who is still not eliminated.

SAMANTHA IRVIN: Ladies and gentlemen, Bobby Roode has been eliminated!

End is lying on the apron now and rolls under the bottom rope, but he’s immediately met by Baron Corbin. Corbin is the last man left in the ring now and he pulls End up to his feet. Baron lifts End up and slams him down with a bodyslam. Baron backs into the ropes, bouncing off of them and dropping an elbow drop onto End. Baron stands up and holds his arms out to his side, showing off to the crowd. Roode is still on the outside, screaming at Corbin to go get End and finish the match. Corbin swipes his hand towards Roode as if telling him he doesn’t care. As Baron reaches End, he bends down to pick him up but End swings his foot up and strikes Baron in the head, knocking him back. Baron holds his face as Tommy springs up to his feet. Tommy bounces off the ropes and comes rushing towards Corbin, taking flight and hitting him in the face with a spinning back heel kick. Corbin is knocked back and into the ropes. Corbin realizes where he’s at after that and ducks down, lying on the mat so as to not give End a way to eliminate him.

RICKY STARKS: A bit cowardly but also a bit smart. Don’t even give End an opportunity to eliminate you.

WADE BARRETT: An interesting strategy but as you said, a smart one.

End tries to pull Baron off the mat but he’s using all his strength to stay lying down. Tommy finally gives up and just starts stomping the downed Corbin. The strategy backfires and now he’s taking repeated kicks to the midsection and head area. Corbin uses the ropes to pull himself back up to his feet. Tommy End has his hands resting on his knees behind Corbin, waiting for him to stand up fully. Before Corbin can turn around, he sees Bobby Roode trying to climb up on the apron near him. The referees are trying to stop Roode but End feels the need to take matters into his own hands. He goes over towards Roode, who immediately jumps off the apron and back to the floor as before End can realize what just happened, he’s grabbed from behind by Corbin and lifted up and over the top rope to the floor!

SAMANTHA IRVIN: Ladies and gentlemen, Tommy End has been eliminated!

WADE BARRETT: He’s done it! He’s won this one!

RICKY STARKS: What a match!

MICHAEL COLE: Hang on guys! Hang on! Orange Cassidy isn’t eliminated! And Baron Corbin doesn’t see him!

Sure enough, Orange Cassidy, who was never eliminated from the match, is back up on the apron behind Baron Corbin. He pulls the elbow pad off on his “Orange Punch” arm and looks out to the crowd, nodding his head. Cassidy steps through the ropes and is back in the ring. Before Baron can turn around, Orange goes to rush towards him with an Orange Punch but Cassidy doesn’t move! OC looks down to see Bobby Roode holding onto his leg, not letting him move. Orange kicks at Roode, trying to get the grip broken free but before he can get Roode off of him, Baron Corbin grabs him from behind and lifts him up and over the top rope to the floor! It’s over!



SAMANTHA IRVIN: Here is your winner, BARRROOON CORRRBIIIN!

MICHAEL COLE: Dammit! The Glorious B’s just had the numbers advantage. What were Tommy End and Orange Cassidy supposed to do!?

WADE BARRETT: The B’s did what they had to do. Let’s not hate on them for having an advantage.

RICKY STARKS: Well, Baron Corbin just punched his ticket for a punch in the face from Ricky Starks!

MICHAEL COLE: Now that one I get.

WADE BARRETT: Corbin almost seems a little surprised to get help from Roode there, but a win is a win.

Roode rolls into the ring, holding the back of his neck as Corbin nods at him. A referee enters the ring and holds up Corbin’s hand as the winner of the match as Roode points at Corbin, celebrating the win for The Glorious B’s as the cameras fade out to commercial.
