WWE Raw 7-21-25

 

Punk yammers for a bit, then Gunther does. Naomi threatens Vaquer for a bit before RUSEV CRUSH is out to face Sheamus again. Rusev hits him with a high kick and a teep kick mid-ring entrance for 2. Brogue turned into a powerbomb for 2 by Rusev. Brogue hits for 2.5! Sheamus dives into a machka kick for 2 and he gets the Accolade but Sheamo gets the rope and gets called a STUBBORN MULE! Rusev tries to use a shillelagh but Shemus brogues him to win. 


New Day is out and Kofi's jacket is fire, Creeds and the LWO are in this too. DOUBLE NORTHERN LIGHTS BY JULIUS! LWO steals it from Woods. Iyo and the Kabuki Warriors chat for a bit and Vaquer is back there with them.  Becky and Lyra are out and bicker and the women's IC is up between them again before Lyra and Bayley team up in a foregone conclusion tag match. Becky takes out Lyra and AJ takes out Dom and the Tejana bomb beats Bayley. Sami vs. Kross is up and Kross wins it after a nasty exploder. AJ fucks around and finds out by getting beaten up by Dom with a single shot backstage to set up Summerslam. Stephanie vs. Iyo is up. 


Tons of fast cradles for a while and I love all the unique counters and transitions. Devil's Kiss on the apron then mid-ring then an avalanche inverted suplex by Vaquer! Chelsea and the Secret Hervice attack! Naomi attacks AND FINALLY RHEA IS HERE! Roman yammers on for ages and he and Jey brawl with Heyman's guys and I guess that's a Summerslam tag.

AEW Dynamite 7-16-25




​Okay, so on Max, I got sub ads, a medicine ad, and get a live feed starting with a guy in a Liger suit in the crowd and Tony Schiavone shaking Hanger's hand. He thanks the fans for the YOU DESERVE IT chant but says they deserve this, they deserve a champion that is proud of the company and the fans deserve to see the belt. He thanks everyone who fought Mox, like OC, the Opps, Danielson, and Darby. He thanks Will Ospreay and...maybe Swerve soon here!? A SWERVE CHANT! He doesn't know if Swerve helped for himself, AEW, or maybe he decided to help Hanger - but he's thankful. 


ALL IN TEXAS recap. Matt and Nick arrive IN AN UBER and have to get their own bags. Fletcher has a perfect Tokyo Dome theme now. Fletcher vs. Dorada is up and Dorada hits a springboard SSP! 450 hits for 2! MASSIVE overhand chops from Dorada! Taz brings up Dorada doing more moves now in this match than he ever did in his career. LAWNDART JONES, Helluva kick and the sheer drop brainbuster wins it! He wants Dustin and the title Dustin chats us up on Collision. The Bucks are annoyed at Marina not being a fan of them anymore RICOCHET AHAS ON THEM! 


MVP wants SOMEONE TO TAKE THE TAG TITLES FROM THEM - PLEASE. Bucks, Hechicero, and Josh Alexander are out AND THE BUCKS GET NO PYRO! They do get a replay of the ALL IN finish and now no theme either. Jet Speed, Bandido, and Brody King. Kight hits a double-pulled springboard crossbody on the Bucks! X knee and 21 Plex to Nick, but Hechicero chokes him out clean! 


Cope is out and does his intro and the fans sing the song. He says he didn't come down to save Christian, who threatened to cripple him and take over his family. He brings up wanting to be trios champs with FTR while he's in WWE and then they're glorified Edgeheads and FTR wants to blame everyone else. Big Stoke is out and gets a SHUT THE FUCK UP chant he says it's like the Hathaway family reunion and if Cope hits FTR, he's fired. He also had FTR and himself send angry e-mails to TK. Cope can't touch FTR, but he didn't say anything about himself and eats a spear! 


Mark Briscoe cut a money promo on MJF and it's time for the women's 4 way with Thekla, Aminata, Statlander, and WILLOW! Queen's apron PK gets 2 on Kris. Thekla kicks Queen during the head to the ass move to Willow. OVERHAND CHOP BY QUEEN SENDS THEKLA INTO A TREE OF WOE but she sats up into a spider usplex! Crabwalk spear to Kris! Discus lariat from Kris to Willow! Doctor bomb to Thekla, but Kris pulls the ref out! Queen neckbreaker hits and a double stomp to Thekla gets 2. Mist from Julia and Thekla stomps her to win it! 





TIMELESS Toni Storm is here! We get a cool live-action Sin City effect throughout this and Luther was hurt and reattachment surgery BUT HER TITS ARE POINTING TO THE FUTURE! Billie and Athena interrupt and Toni says that if Athena is able, SHE'LL BEND HER OVER THE TABLE BECAUSE SHE IS TIMELESS! Toni vs. Starkz is next week. Callis wears the International and Continental belts and Okada has the IWGP V3-styled Unified belt. GODDAMN HERE IS SWERVE LOOKING SLICK! That'll be a good one. Nice party match main event with Page beating Claudio with a jackknife cradle off the Neutralizer. Mox jumps him. Darby shows up in the rafters and HE EATS A BUCKSHOT!

WWE SNME 7-12-25 - Goldberg's Retirement Match

 

WWE is now selling Brock's shirt again and WWE has a Jimmy John's sponsorship for SNME...Drew vs. Orton starts things off after Jesse hypes up the Goldberg match and Goldberg working at 58...jeez it makes Jesse feel even older. Orton avoids a diving lariat and lands a powerslam. Claymore gets 2 for Drew and Orton hits an RKO after Drew bickers with Jelly Roll. SLIDING CLAYMORE TO MR. ROLL! Jade and Naomi brawl to hype up the NHB match on Evolution tomorrow. Aldis has a troubleshooting official for their match - THE NEW REFEREE IS BIANCA BELAIR! And her dress!


Jimmy Uso is out to face Solo for the US Title. Jimmy dive hits and the spinning Solo gets 1. BIG JIM eats a post shot but lands an apron German. Solo wins thanks to Talla and JACOB IS BACK AND KILLS DUDES! Cole talks about the flooding in Texas hurting Goldberg's friends and some of Cole's too and he also lost his father in law 3 weeks ago. Yeesh. JELLY chats with Orton and says he's underestimated. Seth vs. Knight is up and Knight bonks him around the announce table. Lot of nothing and Knight wins after Seth hurts his knee off the lionsault...but he eats the BFT and Knight wins it so it feels like Seth is cashing in, which is what I'd do after a Goldberg win.


Gunther vs. Goldberg is up with LIL NATICH! DOUG DILLENGER BANGS ON THE DOOR! Goldberg was 90% intro and...can almost do that and walks like Chuck before his last Tito fight. If they were planning a cash-in, I'd have Breakker do it and beat Goldberg with the spear in Atlanta and say Heyman had power of attorney for the case. Goldberg shoves him down and shoulderblocks him. and a MASSIVE CHOP gets no reaction. Goldberg is like Nash in that he's sticking to the middle of the ring and GUNTHER NEARLY EATS A SPEAR but Gunther escapes. We're getting more of a regular match than I expected - especially with how Goldberg has looked. Barricade spear misses for an ad break.


Gunther works the knee, but gets overconfident with a kick and eats the chokeslam. Backdrop out of the Gunther powerbomb and GUNTHER AVOIDS THE SPEAR AND ROBINSON EATS IT! Gunther takes the knee brace off of Goldberg and smacks Gage around before A SPEAR FROM BILL! JACKHAMMER but he can't cover and a new ref gets in for 2.5! RNC IS LOCKED ON BY GUNTHER! AND HE ESCAPES WITH HIS TITLE and hey, if you weren't going to a cash-in, this was as perfect a match and finish as you could ask for. Wonky ad break after it.


MADE IN GEORGIA...and we still have a Goldberg promo. And he gets 30 seconds to thank folks.

Slingshot into sunset flip ankle bar! HEADSPIKE HITS FOR THE WIN FOR HECHICERO!

Pure title is up with Lee Moriarty vs. Blue Panther and we get a hype video with Panther beating him in Mexico. Panther dominates with WACKY LUCHA SUBMISSIONS! Lee uses up TWO ROPE BREAKS! Border City Stretch WINS IT IN THE ROPES BECAUSE BLUE PANTHER IS OUT OF ROPE BREAKS. THIS RULED! BLUE PANTHER PUTS THE BELT ON LEE. Wow! Tag title time with the sons against the infantry. 

Wacky Superman intro for Sammy and he has an outfit for Dustin and he's in winter green as the Green Natural. Dustin gets a cannonball and a ball kick and TAYLOR BELTSHOTS HIM! Sammy dives onto Shane! 2 count off the belt! DESTROYER BY DUSTIN! GAMENGURI AND A SPRINGBOARD CUTTER BY SAMMY! Reckoning and the swanton wins it! Dustin's had enough of their shit and wants a Zero Hour match with Shane Taylor! 8MAN TAG IS SET FOR ZERO HOUR! Titan vs. Nick Wayne is up for the TV Title. Kip Sabian crotches Titan after a STRAIGHTJACKET MUTA LOCK nearly wins it and Wayne's World GETS IT. Cage hugs him! Women's 4 way is up!
