During Bianca Belair’s homecoming to WWE, she and the fans were interrupted out of their Rocky Top reunion when Naomi arrived wanting Belair’s forgiveness. Naomi has been trying so hard to talk to Bianca that when she landed in Tennessee, she went over to Belair’s parents’ house, but no one was there, so she let herself in.
I gotta tell you, Naomi seemed to have lost the plot a little bit, especially when she threatened to put Bianca and her mother in a wheelchair because Belair went on to say that she wants nothing to do with Naomi.
Naomi vs. Jade Cargill vs. Nia Jax – Women’s Triple Threat Money in the Bank Qualifying match
Although this is a Triple Treat match, Nia Jax felt like the third wheel between Naomi and Jade, who’s eyes were fixated on each other. Naomi’s upper hand was discarded the moment Cargill regained momentum with a fall away slam. Cargill was on a roll, squashing both challengers in the corner, then moving out of the way, so Jax could crash into Naomi. Jade took that opportunity to deliver a couple of Super Kicks to Nia.
Later on, Jax was able to get a hold of Naomi for a super Samoan Drop form the second rope. Lucky for Cargill, she saved the match with a frog splash. Cargill dropped Nia for a near fall, then she noticed Naomi and got kicked for it. Jax utilized Cargill’s superplex into a powerbomb to eliminate both girls. While she was looking to annihilate her opponents, Naomi moved, so Nia could squash Jade, then she took the opening by rolling Nia for the win.
Winner: Naomi
JC Mateo vs. R-Truth
Truth may have dodged a bullet in the corner, but Mateo was too strong to avoid when he tried to plant him with one of John Cena’s moves only for JC’s weight to come crashing down on him. JC amazed me when he performed a standing Moonsault. My eyes actually popped out of their sockets. Any leeway Truth tried to give, JC had an answer as his challenger collapsed with him on his back… again. Mateo beat Truth with one final move being Tour of the Islands.
Following the match, Solo Sikoa and Mateo initiated further ruthless action by dismantling Truth. Fortunately, he had a friend in Jimmy Uso. It didn’t go well… Apparently, Sikoa has been trying to convince Jimmy to rejoin the Bloodline, and JC may have ruined his plans.
Winner: JC Mateo
One of the best Tag Team matches I’ve seen thus far was between the Street Profits and Fraxiom last week. Due to the ongoing annoyance that is DIY and Motor City Machine Guns materializing out of nowhere whenever they saw fit, Nathan Frazer believed that they didn’t have a fair shot at those titles because of that. Tommaso Ciampa believed that the Profits, the Machine Guns and Fraxiom have soiled the Tag division that they built. During that moment of silence, the Wyatt Sicks took out everyone. We’re here!
Rey Fenix & Je’Von Evans vs. Los Garza – Tag Team match
Fenix and Evans have been on a tear during most of the match against Humberto and Angel. Legado del Fantasma hasn’t been doing very well since Zelina Vega left, and Elektra Lopez returned. Angel ventured to finish Je’Von with a unique powerbomb, however, it wasn’t enough. I almost forgot to mention that NXT North American Champion Ethan Page was at commentary tonight to watch his Worlds Collide opponent, Evans.
Je’Von went flying from an incredible height right in front of Page and Santos Escobar at ringside. Annoyingly so, Ethan took out Rey by sending him over the announcement desk, so Evans delivered a Super Kick as punishment. Some time later, Santos had the referee confused as Ethan shoved Je’Von off the top, so Los Garza could perform an MTY for a victory.
Winners: Los Garza
Zelina Vega vs. Alba Fyre
The numbers game that is Chelsea Green’s Secret Hervice have tripped Zelina down multiple times to give Alba the upper hand as she delivered a Super Kick. Vega nearly got Fyre with the Meteora from the top after dealing with so much unbalanced combat. While she was looking for the Moonsault, Zelina missed. Alba was able to connect with a Swanton.
Vega found herself on the outside surrounded by Green and Niven. Chelsea’s nose looked horrible when she removed the protective mask to hit Zelina with, only she accidently hit Piper instead. Zelina ran back inside the ring to deliver a Code Red to Alba and win.
Winner: Zelina Vega
The follow-up to the Steel Cage match that Damian Priest won versus Drew McIntyre, he still wants the same thing he’s always wanted since arriving to the blue brand. He looked to challenge Jacob Fatu for the US Championship in the near future, and hopefully, without the intervention of the Bloodline. Priest genuinely respects Fatu, so he’ll be here waiting.
Andrade vs. Jacob Fatu vs. Carmelo Hayes – Men’s Triple Treat Money in the Bank Qualifying match
Fatu was doing very well, which is why The Miz grabbed hold of his ankle to prevent him from doing anything else knowing that Carmelo Hayes is in this match. Jacob took him out easily. Hayes knocked Fatu with a Code Breaker, then Andrade added to that with a Poison Rana. Later on, the Samoan Werewolf had both men lined up, yet he ended up crashing through the barricade because they spilt just in time.
Jacob got back up, somehow, as he yanked Andrade and Carmelo from the top, allowing them to plummet down to the mat. He continued with a flatliner to Andrade. After his Moonsault, for some reason, Solo encouraged him to do it again. He could have gone for the cover… All that weirdness, including JC Mateo ordering Fatu around, led to Jimmy showing up and slam Mateo’s head against the commentary desk. Andrade shoved Jacob away, so he could finish the job with the Message to Hayes.
Winner: Andrade
As we conclude the night with John Cena, Jey Uso, Cody Rhodes and… arg, LP talking about this upcoming Tag Team match at Money in the Bank. Rhodes made it clear that he won’t hesitate to crack Cena open like he should have done back at WrestleMania 41. Maybe then, he’d still have his Championship now. Nevertheless, we have other problems to deal with.
While everyone was Yeeting the second time, Cena finally made his appearance with his backwards Championship around his waist. This is an issue between Cena and Rhodes, so why bring Uso and Paul into it? John has been doing a lot of questionable things lately, but the worst thing he’s done is compliment Logan for being the embodiment of hustle, loyalty and respect…. that’s when I knew he went too far this time.
Logan was talking way too much, saying that Jey Jey got lucky at Saturday Night’s Main Event. The way I see it, he lost, that’s it. End of the goddamn story. Rhodes only showed up because John showed up, otherwise, the match would have stayed one-on-one with Uso and Paul. The fact that this blonde idiot reckoned that Jey needed Cody to win, when all this nonsense happened because Cena showed up first, is sloppy of him.
Paul was the one who needed help. He’s a fool for applauding John for basically calling him a blight to wrestling. Wow. Dumbass. Anyway, the powder keg was lit up and a brawl was underway. Uso and Rhodes sent both their asses running.
