[HOUR ONE]

(Note: This event streamed live early Monday morning in the U.S. You can read a full report of the already completed show by Jason Powell over at ProWrestling.net now if you’re eager to catch up. Otherwise, our complete report will be updated soon.

-Michael Cole introduced the show as they showed scenes of Perth, Australia. He said it was the final night of a big weekend. Then he threw to a lengthy four minute video recap of Crown Jewel including some corporate sports headliners reacting to the big happenings.

-They showed the arrivals of C.M. Punk and L.A. Knight, then Jey Uso signing photos backstage, and Rhea Ripley walking backstage.

-They cut to a wide shot of the arena as Cole said 13,737 were in attendance.

-Seth Rollins’s music played and he made his entrance, accompanied by Bronson Reed, Bron Breakker, and Paul Heyman. Seth said, “This is my Vision and, while tonight is about me, I want to acknowledge the greatness that is standing before me in this ring, the greatness that I have assembled.” He turned first to Paul Heyman who was teared up. When he introduced him, fans said Heyman’s name and cheered a bit. He said he was betrayed by the Tribal Chief and he came to him in a moment of need. “I took you in, and with my vision, together we have solidified you as the undisputed GOAT. Heyman bowed his head toward Seth. “Sir, I am blessed man for being in your presence,” Seth said. Heyman and Seth hugged. Heyman kissed Seth’s cheek. Fans chanted, “Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!” Seth paused and then kissed Heyman’s forehead. Fans popped. “Ain’t no shame, baby. Ain’t no shame in that!” Seth said. Fans cheered.

Seth turned to Breakker. Fans barked. Seth asked Breakker to do his signature head jerk. They laughed. Breakker did it. Fans popped. Seth said Breakker flourished and “became everything I thought you could be.” He said he is “the undisputed future of this industry.” He turned to Reed. Fans said his name along with Seth and cheered. Fans sang “Bronson, Bronson Reed!” Seth said he couldn’t have beat Roman Reigns six months ago, but he passed along all his knowledge and he had about Reigns. “Not only did you beat Roman Reigns, you destroyed Roman Reigns, you embarrassed Roman Reigns. You are the new Tribal Chief!” he said. Reed threw his hand up.

Fans chanted, “C.M. Punk!” Seth said he had two questions for Perth. He said he knows they aren’t very smart, but he’s going to ask them anyway. He asked who was the greatest World Champion of all time “and why is it me?” He said Reigns likes to talk about there being “levels.” He said what’s special about him is that he didn’t need anyone to achieve what he has. Fans chanted, “Bullshit! Bullshit!” Seth said he is going to spit some straight fact at you. He said Reigns needed The Shield and The Bloodline. He said Cody Rhodes needed him to beat Reigns. He said he doesn’t need Reed, Breaker, or Heyman. He said he beat Punk and Reigns at WrestleMania on his own and he “trounced” Cody “with one good arm on my own.” He said he doesn’t need anybody. He said he has chosen the men in the ring “and they have chosen me because I am a visionary, I am a revolutionary, and I am the greatest to ever do it. I am Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins!” He held the mic up and the crowd joined in saying his name.

(Keller’s Analysis: That whole segment went about 14 minutes. It was, as often is the case with Seth, a mixed bag. I wanted to watch it on 1.5 speed because he stretches out everything he says with a slow cadence and pauses between phrases. Second, he needlessly broke character like this was some sort of out-of-storyline side event, playing into the crowd wanting him to kiss Heyman. His song and his catch phrases continue to undo some of the heel heat he builds up with the stronger aspects of his promo. The strength and more intriguing aspect of his promo was how much he made it about himself and bragged up himself as the leader of The Vision. I don’t recall him leaning into it to that degree. I mean, he was basically flaunting in the faces of Heyman, Breakker, and Reed that he is superior to them and they’re fortunate to have him in their presence. I don’t know what their end game is, but it’s hard to imagine we’re supposed to think that Heyman, Breakker, and Reed don’t have inner thoughts of resentment toward Seth and his self-centered bragging. And I also hope everyone involved realizes how Seth is coming across.)

-They went to Cole and Wade Barrett at ringside. They reacted to Seth’s speech, and then shifted to a recap of the set-up for the Dominik Mysterio vs. Penta match.

-They cut to Penta backstage. He crossed paths with Rusev. Rusev said he already beat Penta and he said Dom cheated him out of his title, yet Penta gets a title match. He said he is allowing it only because he already talked to Raw G.M. Adam Pearce and he promised him the winner. He said he hasn’t forgotten about the kick last week. “So I have one piece of advice, he said. “Pray.” Dom was in the background, and when he saw Rusev, he slowly backtracked. “Smart move, Dom,” said Cole.

(1) DOMINIK MYSTERIO vs. PENTA – Intercontinental Title match

Dom’s ring entrance took place followed by formal ring introductions. Fans sang, “Dirty, Dirty Dom!” The bell rang 28 minutes into the hour.

WWE star Bayley launching ‘passion project’ to help women’s wrestlers

blank

WWE star Bayley is launching a new initiative to give back to the industry and help other women’s wrestlers improve.

On social media today, Bayley revealed that she will be holding a free three-day seminar for women’s wrestlers in Orlando, Florida from December 4-6. There are limited spaces available and the seminar is only open to wrestlers who already have experience. Bayley asked interested applicants to email her at “Lodestonewomen@gmail.com” — with Bayley telling them to send basic info and some of their past matches.

“I am very excited to share with you a passion project that I’ve been thinking about for a long time now, and I’m finally just going to go ahead and do it,” Bayley said. “I’m going to be running a free three-day, all-women’s wrestling seminar on December 4, 5, and 6 in Orlando, Florida for experienced women only.

“And, yes, I said free, which means all you gotta do is get yourself from wherever you live to Orlando, Florida. You don’t have to worry about accommodations or transportation to and from the seminar. I will be taking care of that. But there are limited spaces available, and you do have to be approved by your Role Model.”

While this is her first time doing this, Bayley said she hopes to hold more free seminars in the future.

Bayley has mentioned that opening a wrestling school is a dream of hers, and she would like to do that while still an active wrestler. She is a multi-time former champion for WWE and a respected leader in the locker room.

In her current WWE storyline, we’ve seen Bayley question her confidence and identity amid teases of turning heel.

Bayley Drops Confusing Response To WWE Star’s Recent Reunion

blank

Bayley’s confusing response to this WWE star’s recent reunion.

For the past few months, fans have been witnessing a major character shift in Bayley. Displaying dual character personalities and other instabilities, The Role Model’s recent social media activity left fans confused.

Recently, on the September 22nd episode of Raw, Bayley snapped after Roxanne Perez attacked her former ally, Lyra Valkyria. However, after defeating Perez, she displayed similar aggressive behavior toward the former women’s intercontinental champion.

Although her entire character and nature changed when she left a confusing message on X(Twitter) after NXT. On the September 23rd episode of NXT, Lyra Valkyria reunited with her former partner, Tatum Paxley, in a backstage segment. Seemingly jealous of Valkyria’s friendship, the 36-year-old wrote,

Speaking of, I just called you!!!! Now I understand why you didnâ€t pick up. Always working!

With tension rising between Valkyrie and Bayley, fans can expect the two to soon clash inside the ring.

Bayley Gets Honest About Her Original Heel Turn

Last year, in an interview with The Pro Wrestling Experience, Bayley discussed her original heel turn in WWE, where she evolved from her ‘hugger’ personality.

“When I became a bad guy, I felt like I lost a genuine connection with fans. It was like they donâ€t know how they feel about me or whether they still want to like me or what it was. It was a genuine disconnection. Sometimes I still think about like, man, I wonder if I never would have done that, where I would be now, or if I would be better or if I would be worse off.â€

“But then I think about times like during the pandemic. I donâ€t know if that character would have been able to last through the pandemic and have the type of success that I did then. I always credit them allowing me to have that moment and them allowing me to explore my growth because I didnâ€t feel that what I was doing at the time was going to extend my career any longer. I knew I needed to turn that page and just make something different happen.â€
