The show kicks off with a recap of the Uprising PPV and the monumental moments that occurred, including The Acclaimed’s victory in the ladder match, Roman Reigns’ triumph, and Rhea Ripley’s shocking alliance with Reigns.
Michael Cole: “What a night Uprising was! And now, the powerful duo of Roman Reigns and Rhea Ripley stand at the top, but what about the House of Black? How will Malakai Black and his men respond after losing to Roman Reigns?”
Excalibur: “We’re set for an explosive episode of Fury tonight! And speaking of explosive, Roman Reigns is in the building with Rhea Ripley. We’re about to hear from the new power couple of AYW!”
Segment 1: Roman Reigns and Rhea Ripley Promo
Roman Reigns’ music hits, and the crowd erupts into a mixed reaction as Reigns, with the AYW World Championship draped over his shoulder, makes his way to the ring. By his side is Rhea Ripley, smirking as the dominant duo stands tall. Reigns grabs the mic, looking confident.
Roman Reigns: “I told all of you that this is my era. AYW belongs to me. And with Rhea Ripley by my side, no one is going to take this championship away from me. Not Malakai Black, not anyone.”
Rhea Ripley: “You see, I’ve always known what it takes to be at the top. And now, standing beside the greatest champion in the world, we’re unstoppable.”
As the crowd reacts, Malakai Black’s theme plays for a moment, but nothing happens. The arena’s atmosphere shifts as Reigns and Ripley exchange a wary glance.
Michael Cole: “Is Malakai trying to send a message?”
Excalibur: “This isn’t over, not by a long shot!”
Reigns shakes his head, smirking, and raises the championship in the air as they leave the ring, confident that no one can stop their reign.
Match 1: Chad Gable vs. Komander
The action kicks off with an intense match between Chad Gable and the high-flying Komander. Gable demonstrates his technical prowess, countering Komander’s flips with suplexes and submissions.
Nigel McGuinness: “Gable’s technical skills are second to none! But can he handle the high-flying spectacle that is Komander?”
Komander gets some offense in, dazzling the crowd with a 450 splash, but Gable counters with an impressive German suplex into the turnbuckle. Gable locks in the Ankle Lock, forcing Komander to tap out.
Winner: Chad Gable
Post-match, Gable grabs the mic.
Chad Gable: “Bryan Danielson, I know you’re doubting yourself. You’re wondering if you should retire. But I’m here to tell you, don’t quit. Don’t run away from this. Face me next week on Fury and prove to yourself that you still belong in this ring!”
Backstage Segment: Christian Cage and Bronson Reed
In a dimly lit backstage area, Christian Cage approaches the massive Bronson Reed, looking stern.
Christian Cage: “Bronson, Uprising was a success, but there’s still chaos to fix. I need you to take care of some unfinished business tonight. Go fix it.”
Bronson simply nods, a wicked grin forming on his face.
Michael Cole: “What does Christian mean by that? And what’s Bronson Reed planning?”
Match 2: FTR vs. Authors of Pain
Two powerhouse teams collide in an all-out war. FTR looks to utilize their technical and tag-team mastery, but the sheer power of AOP makes it difficult. Akam and Rezar dominate early, using their brute strength to wear down Dax and Cash.
Excalibur: “Authors of Pain are manhandling FTR! Can FTR come back from this?”
FTR mounts a comeback after Cash Wheeler dodges a charging Akam, sending him shoulder-first into the ring post. FTR hits AOP with their signature Big Rig for the hard-fought win.
Winners: FTR
Segment: Cody Rhodes Explains Helping The Acclaimed
Cody Rhodes enters the ring, looking a bit battered from Uprising, but still determined. He grabs the mic, explaining his actions.
Cody Rhodes: “Some of you are wondering why I helped The Acclaimed. The truth is simple – I respect them. They fought with heart, and if there’s one thing I respect, it’s heart. Sometimes, you have to step in for the future of this business. That’s exactly what I did.”
Just as Cody begins to exit, Bronson Reed blindsides him from behind, crashing him through the barricade with a brutal splash.
Michael Cole: “What the hell?! Bronson Reed just took Cody out!”
Match 3: Thunder Rosa vs. Skye Blue
A high-paced women’s match between Thunder Rosa and Skye Blue. Rosa’s technical ability and experience give her the edge early on, but Skye counters with her youthful energy and speed. Despite a strong showing from Skye, Rosa locks in a Peruvian Necktie, forcing her to tap out.
Winner: Thunder Rosa
Backstage Segment: Cody Being Taken to Hospital, Bronson Reed Attacks Again
In the back, Cody is being loaded into an ambulance, clearly hurt from Bronson’s earlier attack. Just as the EMTs are about to close the doors, Bronson Reed appears again, shoving the medical staff aside and smashing the ambulance doors off with sheer force. He drags Cody out and delivers another devastating splash, leaving Cody motionless.
Excalibur: “This is absolute carnage! Bronson Reed is a force of destruction!”
Match 4: Brody King & Buddy Matthews vs. Street Profits
Brody King and Buddy Matthews of House of Black face off against the Street Profits in an intense tag match. Montez Ford tries to use his agility to outmaneuver the brutal power of Brody King, but the unrelenting style of House of Black proves too much. Matthews and King isolate Angelo Dawkins, allowing King to hit a Gonzo Bomb for the win.
Winners: Brody King & Buddy Matthews
After the match, Malakai Black steps into the ring and grabs a mic.
Malakai Black: “Reigns, you’ve only delayed the inevitable. Soon, you will fall, just like everyone else.”
The lights flicker, and House of Black vanishes into the darkness, leaving their ominous message hanging in the air.
Backstage Segment: Willow Nightingale and Britt Baker
Backstage, Willow Nightingale and Britt Baker engage in a heated conversation about who should be next in line for the AYW Women’s Championship.
Willow: “I was one of the last standing in the battle royale. I deserve a shot.”
Britt Baker: “Deserve? No one deserves anything in this business. You take what’s yours. But if you want to prove yourself, how about we settle this in the ring next week?”
Willow smiles, clearly up for the challenge.
Match 5: Darby Allin vs. Anthony Bowens
A fast-paced match between Darby Allin and Anthony Bowens. Bowens uses his power to control Darby early on, but Darby’s resilience and refusal to stay down frustrates Bowens. After a flurry of offense, Darby hits the Coffin Drop for the win.
Winner: Darby Allin
Backstage Segment: Braun Strowman and Samoa Joe Show Respect
Backstage, Braun Strowman and Samoa Joe are seen exchanging mutual respect, despite their rivalry.
Braun: “We went to war at Uprising. But that doesn’t mean we’re done yet.”
Joe nods. “Respect earned, but we’re not finished. Not by a long shot.”
Backstage Segment: Christian Cage and Jon Moxley
In another part of the arena, Christian Cage approaches Jon Moxley backstage. There’s a strange vibe as Christian attempts to recruit Moxley to his cause.
Christian Cage: “Jon, you’re a lone wolf, but think of the destruction we could cause together.”
Moxley smirks but doesn’t give a clear answer. The tension builds as the seeds of a potential alliance or conflict are planted.
Main Event: Jon Moxley vs. Braun Strowman
In a brutal, hard-hitting main event, Jon Moxley and Braun Strowman tear each other apart. Braun’s sheer size and strength give him the early advantage, but Moxley’s tenacity and ruthlessness allow him to mount a comeback. Moxley counters a Running Powerslam into a Paradigm Shift, securing the victory.
Winner: Jon Moxley
After the match, Samoa Joe storms the ring, attacking Moxley in support of Strowman. Just when it looks like Moxley is in trouble, Bronson Reed rushes out, fighting off both Joe and Strowman. The ring descends into chaos as Bronson takes down both men.
As the dust settles, Christian Cage appears on the stage, staring at Moxley. Moxley slowly realizes that Christian sent Bronson to save him, leaving the crowd in suspense as the show fades to black.
Nigel McGuinness: “Wait, did Christian Cage just save Moxley? What is going on here?”
Michael Cole: “It looks like Christian’s plans run deep! This is far from over!”
