We open with a recap of Undertaker costing HHH the title shot last week and busting Hogan open on Raw the next week.
Opening sequence.
Tag Team Titles: Rikishi/Hurricane vs. Billy and Chuck
Hurricane chokeslams Rico to blow off some steam and Rikishi adds a Stinkface.
Earlier today, Randy Orton was working out when Stacy Keibler came up to hit on him some more. This seems to annoy him, which should probably make him a heel.
Hardcore Holly vs. Randy Orton
Holly gives him an Alabama Slam on the stage to keep this going.
Lance Storm/Kurt Angle vs. Edge/Big Valbowski
Mark Henry/Faarooq vs. Christian/Test
Cruiserweight Title: Tajiri vs. Billy Kidman
WWF World Title: Hulk Hogan vs. Chris Jericho

April 25, 2002
Location: Peoria Civic Center, Peoria, Illinois
Attendance: 8,350
Commentators: Michael Cole, Tazz
Opening sequence.
Maven/Al Snow/Billy Kidman vs. Billy and Chuck/Tajiri
Kurt Angle calls a security guard fat and brags about his new t-shirt reveal later tonight. The shirt is going to list all of his accomplishments so the smallest size available is XXL. If the security guard plays his cards right, he might get one at half price. I could watch this Angle for days.
Randy Orton vs. Hardcore Holly
Angle talks to a photographer about how big his shirt reveal is going to be but Edge is seen replacing it. For some reason the photographer is told to get the shirt in the ring.
Recap of HHH invading Raw and attacking Undertaker.
Mark Henry vs. Christian
Jericho is ready to win tonight because he wants to beat HHH once and for all. See, he only lost at Wrestlemania because of a high fever.
Rikishi/Edge vs. Kurt Angle/Albert
Angle yells at the security guard, who is now wearing a YOU SUCK shirt.
Chris Jericho vs. HHH
Back with Jericho hitting the Breakdown (Skull Crushing Finale) for two as Cole freaks out over Undertaker showing up. Then again, it would be more amazing for Cole not to freak out over something. A neckbreaker and spinebuster give HHH two but Jericho gets the same off a missile dropkick.
Undertaker and Jericho beat on HHH until Hogan makes the save and punches Undertaker into the crowd to end the show.

Night Raw
Date: October 3, 2016
Location: Staples Center, Los Angeles, California
Commentators: Michael Cole, Corey Graves, Byron Saxton
Opening sequence.
TJ Perkins vs. Brian Kendrick
Rating: C. Well ok. Perkins wins the whole tournament and is basically unbeatable but a single rake to the eyes is enough to beat him in less than ten minutes? The best thing here though is having a clear heel and a clear face so we can actually have a story. At the end of the day though, this is likely setting up a third match at the pay per view, despite neither match really warranting a third one.
Braun Strowman vs. Chase Silver
Titus says this is the debut of the Titus Brand. Some forearms to the back have Sami in trouble and a bearhug makes it even worse. Sami comes right back with a clothesline, the exploder suplex in the corner and the Helluva Kick for the pin at 2:48.
Anderson and Gallows vs. Golden Truth
Enzo Amore and Big Cass are in the ring with three breast cancer survivors for the annual Susan G. Komen segment. The three women are given replica WWE Title belts.
Chris Jericho/Kevin Owens vs. New Day
Cue Seth Rollins to the stage for a distraction though and Woods gets in an enziguri. The hot tag brings in Big E. to clean house (and swivel the hips of course) but Owens superkicks him down. Big E. and Owens go to the floor and Jericho gets the Liontamer on Woods, only to have Rollins offer a distraction. A quick Midnight Hour puts Jericho away at 16:25.
We look back at the opening sequence.
Video on Rich Swann.
Rich Swann vs. Tony Nese
Mil Mascaras video as WWE is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month for the second month in a row.
Cesaro/Sheamus vs. Raul White/Mark Carradine
Charlotte and Dana Brooke are on the way to the ring when they run into Bayley. Charlotte laughs at Bayley for thinking she could be in this place someday but says she has to leave so she can go main event the show. Dana laughs at Bayley too.
A long celebration ends the show.

Braun Strowman b. Chase Silver – Powerslam
Anderson and Gallows b. Golden Truth – Magic Killer to R-Truth
New Day b. Kevin Owens/Chris Jericho – Midnight Hour to Jericho
Tony Nese b. Rich Swann – Sitout pumphandle powerslam

For Glory 2016
Date: October 2, 2016
Location: Impact Zone, Orlando, Florida
Commentators: D’Angelo Dinero, Josh Matthews
We open with Matt Hardy and his son Maxell playing the piano. Matt stops to read a story, which serves as our opening recap for all of the matches.
The announcers welcome us to the show.
X-Division Title: Trevor Lee vs. DJZ
The champ is thrown back in and grabs a flapjack, followed by a top rope hurricanrana to make it even worse. They trade dives with Lee getting the better of it but DJZ reverses a German suplex into a reverse hurricanrana. The ZDT is countered with the double stomp but DJZ reverses a suplex into a Canadian Destroyer of all things. Now the ZDT connects to retain the title at 11:08.
Bound For Gold
Celebrity chef Robert Irvine is here to watch Gail Kim be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Maria and Mike Bennett come in to say tonight is about them.
Mike Bennett vs. Moose
Moose fights up again and hits some running clotheslines, followed by a very hard clothesline. Mike comes back with a tornado DDT and a piledriver for two. Even more clotheslines have Bennett reeling but he catches a top rope clothesline in a cutter. That goes nowhere as Moose grabs the chokebomb and hits a discus lariat for the pin at 10:10.
Grand Championship: Aron Rex vs. Eddie Edwards
For the inaugural title and the rounds are now five minutes long instead of three. Feeling out process to start with neither being able to go anywhere in the first two minutes. Eddie snaps off a hurricanrana but gets caught in the Russian legsweep. Rex is sent outside for a big flip dive and both guys are down. A few more shots have Eddie in control and round one ends.
Eddie wins the first round so Rex is much more aggressive to start the second round. Some hard chops have Eddie in trouble and Rex starts in on the knee. Rex grabs an Indian Deathlock and THE LIGHTS GO OUT. Not as in an angle but as in the lights just stopped working. Fans: “PAY THE LIGHT BILL!” They come back on as Rex puts on a modified Sharpshooter for a few moments. Some knees to the back get two and the round ends.
We recap Decay vs. the Hardys in the Great War. Decay took the titles earlier in the year and the Hardys invited them to North Carolina for Final Deletion II. This is a match with unclear rules with the titles on the line.
Tag Team Titles: Hardys vs. Decay
Abyss and Jeff are nowhere to be seen as Rosemary comes in with a Van Terminator of all things to give Steve two on the floor. Back in the ring, Abyss staples Jeff in the forehead. Josh: “Somebody is teeing off on somebody on the other side of the Impact Zone.” Thanks for that information Josh. Matt and Abyss fight to the back with Abyss punching out a referee. Steve and Jeff join them with Decay in control. Jeff tries to reach a bucket labeled “Lake of Reincarnation” but Steve hits him with a music stand.
Matt and Abyss stagger back inside as well with Abyss suplexing Matt on the ramp. Jeff (no longer Willow) crawls back out from under the ring and baseball slides a table into Steve. The Twist of Fate and Swanton get two on Abyss, who brings out the barbed wire board. Matt takes over and adds in the thumbtacks, followed by a Side Effect onto various sharp objects.
We recap Lethal Lockdown with Lashley picking the main event stipulations.
Lashley is tired of people like EC3 being placed in front of him. Tonight is about teaching a lesson.
Knockouts Title: Maria Kanellis-Bennett vs. Gail Kim
Quick recap of Carter vs. Lashley. Carter is the latest person to come after the title and Lashley has promised to treat him like everyone who has come before.
TNA World Title: Ethan Carter III vs. Lashley
Results
DJZ b. Trevor Lee – DJZ
Eli Drake won Bound For Gold last eliminating Tyrus and Jesse Godderz
Moose b. Mike Bennett – Discus lariat
Aron Rex b. Eddie Edwards via split decision
Hardys b. Decay – Swanton Bomb through a table
Gail Kim b. Maria Kanellis-Bennett – Eat Defeat
Lashley b. Ethan Carter III – Middle rope spear
