By Richard Trionfo on 2021-07-16 21:56:00

We are in Houston, Texas and your announcers are Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.

Vince McMahon's music plays and he walks like only Vince McMahon can onto the stage.

Vince asks where the hell have you been and he heads to the back.

Match Number One:  Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, and Roman Reigns (with Paul Heyman) versus Edge, Dominik Mysterio, and Rey Mysterio

Jey hits Edge from behind and the referee starts the match.  Edge with a flapjack to Jey.  Dominik tags in and gives Jey an arm wringer and then Rey tags in and he hits a double sledge.  Rey with a wrist lock and Jey with a forearm and Jimmy tags in.  Rey with an arm drag into an arm bar.  Edge tags in and he kicks Jimmy in the arm.  Edge continues to work on the arm.  Rey tags back in and Edge holds Jimmy for a springboard seated senton splash for a near fall.  Dominik tags in and he hits a double jump moonsault for a near fall.  Dominik with an arm drag into an arm bar.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Dominik kicks Jimmy and hits a tornado DDT.  Both men are down.  Jey tags in and so does Edge.  Edge goes after Jimmy on the apron and he swings at Roman.  Edge with a hot shot to Jey followed by a baseball slide to Jimmy and a clothesline to Roman.  Rey tags in and hits a springboard seated senton and then Rey with a satellite DDT and Jimmy breaks up the cover.  Dominik sends Jimmy to the floor and Dominik with a springboard cross body to Jimmy but Roman sends Dominik into the ring post.

Jey with a punch and Rey with a rana that sends Jey into the ropes but Roman blocks the 619 and he runs Rey into the apron and then back into the ring.  Edge spears Roman because Roman was distracted by an announcer standing up.  Rey with an O'Connor Roll for a near fall and Jimmy punches Rey and Jey with a rollup and some help for the three count.

After the match, Jey attacks Rey and sends Rey into the ring post.  Jimmy and Jey work over Dominik.  Edge comes in and hits Jimmy and Jey with a steel chair.  Roman with a Superman punch to Edge.

Roman picks up the chair and he breaks off the cross piece.  Edge with a spear and then he grabs the part of the chair.

Edge puts Roman in the crossface and uses the piece of the chair in Roman's mouth.  Roman is signaling to someone by patting his head (because we know that Roman does not tap out)

Edge stands over Roman with the title belt in his hand and then he puts it back on top of Roman.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Edge and the Mysterios are talking in the back and Kayla ambushes Edge and does not care about the Mysterios.

She asks Edge about being close to winning the Universal Championship.  

Edge says he would hope that making Roman tap out just now makes it easier.  Edge says he has to dip into places he might not want to go.  He has to be a manipulative son of a bitch.

Seth Rollins is laughing off to the side while he looks like Billy Mitchell.  Seth laughs and says that Edge can't beat Roman.  He says that Roman might be the most megalomaniacal but he has your number.  Seth says that he will be Edge's biggest fan and wins the title.  Seth says he will go into Money in the Bank and he will claim the briefcase and he will finish what he should have done 7 years ago when I had my boot on your throat. I would love to cash in against the man who made the Money in the Bank match famous.

Sami Zayn makes his way to the largest stage in Sports Entertainment.  

Sami says that everyone is talking about the Money in the Bank match but they are not talking about how he was excluded.  Fans are back.  There is a new entrance.  Shiny lights.  They are keeping you from focusing on the year long conspiracy against him.

Tonight, for the first time in forever, I have something in my corner that I haven't had.  It is you.  You have seen it all. You have seen me been victimized and persecuted.  I need you to stand up and make your voices heard to know that this conspiracy will not stand.

Sami says he is not surprised.  The Yeehaws of Texas are not on his side.  That is fine.  I don't need you.  I need justice.  If there was any justice in this world, I would be in that ladder match.  If there was any justice, this briefcase would be lowered and I would be handed that contract on a silver platter.  I will not let this show go on for one more minute . . . 

Finn Balor's music plays and he makes his way to the ring.

Sami welcomes back Finn Balor.  Sami takes a swing at Finn and misses.  Finn with an elevated elbow drop and a running drop kick.  Balor goes up top and hits Coup de Grace.

We take a look back at last week's debut of Shotzi Blackheart and Tegan Nox.
