WWE Raw 5-19-25 - HAPPY MAY 19

 Kairi returns! But first, Logan Paul is out and I'm really tired and just not in the mood to deal with him. GUNTHER GETS A WORLD TITLE SHOT IN PHOENIX and Gunther admits that Logan has skills he can learn, but IF LOGAN PAUL BEATS JEY USO, HE WILL BE DISPRESPECTED AND ASK PAT HOW I FEEL ABOUT BEING DISRESPECTED BY A NON-WRESTLER AND PAT AT LEAST HAD A HEART! Jey attacks Logan and meets with Heyman after Penta's entrance. Penta and AJ against Finn and JD. 

Carly cheapshots Penta over the ropes to earn his paycheck. Calf slicer and JD dives ONTO FINN ACCIDENTALLY SOMEHOW to break it up. Sacrifice to Finn and Finn gets a victory roll for 2. AJ forearms Carly and Penta hits a destroyer on the floor. Grande hits a headbutt and Balor wins it! Becky vs. Nattie vs. Roxanne is up. This double sharpshooter is somehow dumber than both the other double sharpshooter and the double pop rox. Lyra jumps Becky and Becky loses to the Pop Rox. Wow the valiant heel couldn't overcome the odds.

Sheamus is out BUT FIRST WE GET BACKSTAGE STUFF with Tozawa vs. Otis being set up and New Day in a triple threat tag next week. So many things happened between the entrances and the match that I FORGOT SHEAMUS VS. WALLER WAS THE MATCH. Jesus. 

Rhea vs. Zoey vs. Kairi is up and Zoey blows her leg out doing the sniper dropkick! That's a bad one too - she's screaming. Rhea hits a fallaway on Kairi for 2. Prism lock to Kairi! Kairi hits a corner forearm and misses a missile dropkick in some weird way for Rhea to make it almost look like offense for 2. Clonking-style headbutt from Rhea and Riptide ends it. RUSEV IS GOING TO CRUSH. Bron vs. Jey is up. Finn brings Roxanne into the clubhouse for some "help". She gives Dom tendies and Carlito an apple and he's like actually enjoying it. Jey vs. Breakker. is up and Bron hits his inverted Steiner bulldog to the table before eating a nasty landing on his left hip off the pop-up Samoan drop. BREAKKENSTEINER gets 2. Jey eats a beatdown and Sami saves alongside Punk.  A walk and brawl during an HHH graphic and Logan lays out Jey, still with Paul's mouth bleeding.

AEW Collision 5-17- Beach Break

 

This isn't a totally loaded show, but it's got some big stuff including a Mongo tribute. Megan Bayne w/ Penelope Ford vs. Anna Jay w/ Her Fat Ass and Harley starts the show. Megan runs wild and Tony shouts out JR and his cancer diagnosis. Anna eats a bearhug but avoids an apron senton. Anna avoids the F5 with elbows and Anna low-bridges her over. Anna hits a blockbuster but Bayne gets a falcon arrow due to Anna wanting a suplex and that gets 2 - nice spot. Anna turns the F5 into a DDT for 2. Penelope removes the buckle pad and brawls with Ford before a dropkick and schoolboy using the buckle gets 2 for Jay. Electric chair powerbomb into a second powerbomb-position into an F5 wins it - this was way better than expected.

Corner cannonball to Rock ends it. OUTRUNNERS ARE HERE WITH SOME BABYFACE FIRE! GYV bitches about the Paragon to their faces. 

Blake Christian's tron would make a fun wallpaper and I love his '80s World Class mid-carder robe. Him versus Bailey should be fun. Speedball is out in his red and gold gear - his best looking stuff by far. Moonsault fallaway slam hits to START THE MATCH for Speedball before a basement moonsault and rapid-fire kicks. VADER BOMB KNEEDROP HITS! Corkscrew kick wins it. Anarchy hype vid airs.

New theme for Dynamite and it starts off with Hanger! He asks why they cheer for him but he appreciates it. He hoped to feel closure in the cage, but he felt nothing. The fans ask why and he says he doesn't know why. He got no closure and lashed out at others and calls out Swerve. Ospreay comes out and marks out for the Hangman era of the Dark Order but he lost his way but NOW HE HAS HIS SMILE BACK. But this year isn't about Hangman's redemption - it's about his ascension!
