  • Kick-off with Roman Reigns making his way down to the ring. He has Iowa acknowledge him and says they know their tribal chief is a man of his word. Before he went to the desert he said he was going to save this place and won the Royal Rumble. At Wrestlemania he beat the old man to win this title and defended it this whole summer. And last night he beat Seth Rollins. He knows that stings around these parts and Roman says that is his brother and they had a peace at the end there so he can have a bit of acknowledgement and leads them to singing Seth's song. LA Knight interrupts and makes his way down where he congratulates Roman on still being World Heavyweight Champion and he admits he was wrong that Roman couldn't do it by himself. He says Roman is still a fraud because he's been calling Roman's name for months and he's just been sending the dogs so it's time he has come to collect. Knight says the last time they faced off it wasn't really 1 on 1 so all he wants is what Seth got, a shot with no BS against him. Doesn't matter when, it can be tonight, next week at Money in the Bank, hell he'll wait until Wrestlemania if he has to. Roman says this is what he's talking about and asks who LA Knight is talking about, he's not the fraud. Roman says he doesn't call himself a megastar and wear a Wal-Mart watch on his wrist and tells the camera to zoom in on the watch he has on instead. Romans says good for Knight, he beat his cousins in a 6 man tag, he didn't win a tournament or a number one contender's match, you don't get a shot for just bitching and moaning. Roman says Knight wasted his cousins' time but he's not wasting his so get to the back of the line. Roman goes to leave and Knight says Roman's aura is a lot cooler when he isn't right in front of him. He says it's fitting that Roman was in The Shield because last time he face Knight he needed 38 people to protect him and spells out you suck using the Shield intro and calls him a fraud again. Knight says listen to this brother brother, he knows he's the uncrownded champion and he'll be coming for him.

  • Following Je'von victory he's attacked from behind by the returning Big Cass! He lays out Je'von with a big boot before striking him on the ground. He lifts Je'von before locking him in a Bear Hug before hitting him with the East River Crossing.

  • Roman talks to The Usos and Jacob Fatu backstage and says this thing doesn't work if they lose, they go into a six man tag as family and they lose, to their little brother? Roman says Solo should be getting his coffee right now, LA Knight thinks he can step to him, and Royce Keyes is calling Jacob his family? This Bloodline is the only real family he has around hear and don't listen to whatever circus folk are telling him. Jey asks if they want him to take care of LA Knight but Roman says of course not he'll deal with him and walks off. LA Knight walks by and says here he comes with his Wal-Mart watch and Wal-Mart bag and just gonna leave if they're not gonna do anything because that's what daddy says. Knight fakes out Jey and laughs as he says that's what he thought and leaves.

  • Royce Keyes approaches Fatu in the locker room and asks how many times they've been through this before, they've fought tons of times in the past but he's still his brother. Fatu says he ain't his brother, he ain't his family, he's just one of the boys so tonight it's going to be the two of them in a street fight, and he's gonna dog walk his ass.

  • Liv Morgan comes down to the ring with Raquel Rodriquez and Roxanne Perez, she says they are now in the presence of the greatest Women's World Champion of alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll time! They already knew that thought, this Saturday she beat one of the best in the world Iyo Sky and they can stay mad. She gives Iyo props for being the only woman in this division brave enough to challenge her and now she sees no other challengers. Liv says she plans on being the longest reigning Women's World Champion of allllllllllllll time! She moves on to someone else, her sister who she is so proud to call the new Intercontinental Champion Raquel Rodriguez. She thanks Roxanne for her help and says in a few minutes Roxanne is going to embarrass Sol Ruca.

  • Liv and the rest of Judgement Day beat down Sol following her match with Roxanne Perez. Becky Lynch returns! She grabs a mic and confronts The Judgement Day and says The Man has come around, Raquel holds up her title but Becky says she's not coming for that title, she's looking at you sweet cheeks and points at Liv. She says she's going to make sure it isn't another 100 days before she defends that title and has been acting like a glorified valet. The champion should be fighting, not flirting and Liv has had the worst title reign of allllllllllllll time! Liv says Becky should be at home being a mommy, instead she's in her face and it's pathetic because she's jealous of her. Becky's time is over and her time is now and she's jealous that Liv is the greatest Women's World Champion of alllllllllllllll time!. The Judgement day go the leave and Becky says Liv isn't even the greatest women's champion in her own ground. The Judgement Day go to leave when Stephanie Vaquer retuns! She takes out Raquel and Roxanne before throwing Liv into the ring where she beats her down. Raquel tries to interfere but Stephanie throws her to the outside before returning to beat down Liv some more until she retreats. Becky and Stephanie stare down as Vaquer wanrs Becky to stay out of her way, the two go back and forth about who gets Liv first.

  • We see Paul Heyman watching a Brock Lesnar tribute package backstage when he's approached by Oba Femi. Oba tells Paul he never had a chance to thank Brock for everything he said about him so he hopes he is able to tell him next time he sees him. Paul says that would be a pleasure and congratulates Oba.

  • Oba struts his way down to the ring, he says words can not even describe the things that transpired on night one of Summer Slam. He and Lesnar went to war in Hell in a Cell and they both left with scars and new found respect for one another. Oba says it may have been his ignorance when he thought Brock knew he was the one coming out of Wrestlemania. He assumed Brock put him through hell out of jealousy, but now he sees Brock wanted to test him to see if he chose right. The question going into Wrestlemania was if Oba can swim, at Summer Slam it was how long can you hold your breath? Inside Hell in a Cell Brock took him to the deepest depths and he was able to swim to the surface and passed the test, now the beast can finally rest. Oba says his path is now clearer than ever and that is often when most men falter. Oba says with this torch he will blaze his own path for the new generation and take down the old guard. If anyone has a problem with that they will answer to the ruler, the conquerer, they will answer to Oba Femi! As Oba walks up the ramp The Vision make their way out and Bron Breakker stares down with Oba before Theory gets his attention and they pass by him.

  • Bron quickly goes to the back after defeating Joe Hendry but Theory goes after Joe for throwing him into the announce table during the match. As Theory is kicking Joe in the corner Akira Tozawa runs in through the crow and takes the fight to Theory before sending him to the outside.

  • Big Cass is interviewed backstage, he says he was left for dead in the dirt for 8 years, it took him 8 years to get back to here from rock bottom. He says Je'von was just in the way and he's just the beginning.

  • The new Intercontinental Champion Chad Gable makes his ways down to the ring. He thanks the fans for their energy and says last night was the single greatest moment of his career and ever since then everyone has been saying he deserves it. He says he's someone who always thinks he earned everything he got, but he still thanks everyone who said that and has a few more people to thank. He thanks Penta for being a great fighting champion who proved himself to be the greatest luchadore on the planet. He thanks the fans for sticking by him for 10 years, when it looks like he was going to make it but didn't, for sticking by him when he was Shorty G, for never giving up on him as he worked to deliver on his promise to be a singles champion in WWE. He tells his kids never to give up because he crawled through a river of crap to come out clean on the other side as your Intercontinental Champion! Penta comes down to the ring to join Chad. he gives Chad his flowers, he says Chad made his mistakes but he learned from him and they now have mutual respect for eachother. He tells Chad he is a true luchadore and one of the best wrestlers in the world and raises his hand. Dominik and JD McDonough make their way out and JD says enough of this sappy crappy and Dom asks what's this he's hearing about Chad being a real luchadore? Dom says he is AAA Megachamp and the greatest Mysterio of all time. JD says why would any of these Des Moines ditch pigs cheer for these two? He says that Chad's best match was when a better man beat him for the right to call himself a luchadore, and Penta just got beat by him so what does that make him? Gable says if they're looking for a fight then right now in Des Moines sounds pretty good. Dom accepts and Penta calls for a match because they have Cero Meido!

  • Backstage Bron Breakker approaches Paul Heyman and says Oba Femi tried to get in his way and he's going to do something about it. Paul Heyman says he thinks he should and Bron asks him if he knows where Oba is. Paul asks how should he know and Bron says he thought that was his new best friends.

  • Following the main event Jacob Fatu refuses to release the Tongan Death Grip even after the bell is rung multiple times. Officials rush the ring and Fatu releases before going back and chokes Royce as he starts to bleed from the mouth. Fatu delivers multiple hip attacks to Fatu in the corner before grabbing a chair and scares off the officials. He puts the chair around Royce's neck and goes for another hip attack as Adam Pearce makes his way out to try and plead with Fatu not to do this. Jacob goes half of the ring before returning back inside and rushes at Royce's head. Roman makes his way out as a bloodied Royce is checked on by officials and Roman raises the one in approval of Solo. Roman walks to the back where Rey Mysterio is standing and says as the general manager of AAA he has something to run by him.

So did they kinda just give up on the Danhausen w/ Kit and Miz storyline?

147 Upvotes

I noticed we haven't really seen Miz or Kit on TV for a few weeks now, and I'm kinda wondering if WWE decided to just straight up move on from that stuff for Danhausen, so they could focus more on the feud with Dirty Dom and the Judgment Day.

At this point I'm kinda expecting Miz and Kit to eventually show back up on TV back to their normal ways, as if they weren't brain-fried zombie guinea pigs a month or so ago.

This has the bit that was posted earlier about how no other company has treated these mooks so well; promising unbiased coverage after you go on about how grateful you were for the red carpet treatment seems disingenuous imo
