GOAT AND GOAT?
- Charlotte Flair comes out and says that once things changed, Trish Stratus hit the bricks and did something different.
- Charlotte throws to a video package, but it ends up being a Trish highlight and she’s not thrilled.
- Trish is here.
- Trish says that Charlotte is the embodiment of everything that she fought for. She wants to prove to her kids and the fans.
- Trish uses Harley Race’s bright lights quote. EMOTION.
- The crowd didn’t react to this very well, but I thought it was pretty good.
- Charlotte WOOs Trish and gets slapped in the fizzace.
- Trish made more contact in this promo than she did in last night’s match.
Ziggler ATTACK
- Dolph Ziggler does a Goldberg entrance, complete with backstage walk.
- This is pretty good, and Ziggler is enough of a little shit to make it work.
- Rey Mysterio gets attacked and taken out. I don’t think this match is going to happen.
- Officials come out to help Mysterio, but Ziggler kept with the beat down.
- Ziggler just beating up Mysterio works. What does Ziggler winning do? We know he’s not beating Goldberg. Ziggler gets stronger, Mysterio doesn’t get beaten, and they can actually do this match after Summerslam with a built-in reason.
- Dolph Ziggler didn’t even want to wrestle for a lot of this year and is having some of his biggest marquee matches of his career.
- Ali makes the save, so they’re gonna wrestle. Welp.
Dolph Ziggler defeated Ali
5/10 (short)
- The match starts, and I guess that’s just how it happens.
- We come back from a picture in picture break to see Ali hit a nice kick, but get clotheslined.
- Superkick, that’s a wrap.
- I like the occasional short match, but won’t like Alex being sad about this on the podcast.
Roman Reigns
- Reigns apologizes to Joe. Humility is a babyface move, and Reigns’ character showed that in apologizing to Samoa Joe.
- He says he’s going to get answers.
Ember Moon vs. Natalya Double Countout
N/A
- Ember and Natalya really go at it.
- Ember does a nice dropkick into the barricade, but gets thrown into the apron.
- Ember screams. Such is life.
- Sharpshooter applied by Natalya, and it’s a double countout.
- Jessika Carr reffed this match.
