Rhea Ripley - vs - Bianca BelAir - vs - Mandy Rose

This match features some of Shimmers newest talent, but it never has a chance to get started because Shimmer Champion Rosemary comes out and attacks all 3 ladies!!!!

Mandy Rose shoves Ripley into Rosemary to buy herself time to escape and she runs for her life to the back .... Rosemary lays out Rhea Ripley with the Red Wedding, then tries to hang Bianca BelAir over the top rope by her own ponytail!!!!

Naomi comes out of the back to make the save for her partner, then she grabs a mic and tells Rosemary she’s gonna snatch her bald!  Rosemary replies with ‘sounds like fun, see you later tonight ....’

IN THE BACK - we get a word with Paige about her match tonight against Priscilla Kelly .... Paige says this isn’t about Kelly, and she doesn’t really dislike her .... she knows what it’s like to be manipulated by Winter and always have her in your ear pulling the strings .... she knows that deep down she’s just a tortured soul .... Paige promises that tonight she’s going to set her free ....


Ember Moon - vs - Cherry Bomb

Really good match .... the crowd is split and we get a handshake to start .... the match starts with a series of near falls ending with a standoff which gets a nice reaction from the crowd .... from there they get more aggressive as Ember uses some pretty stiff strikes on Cherry .... Cherry catches Ember with a code breaker out of nowhere but Ember rolls to the floor ....  Cherry with a dive but Ember stops her with a Superkick as she flies through the ropes!  Ember goes up top for the Eclipse but Cherry cuts her off with a forearm, then climbs up with her .... TOP ROPE HURICANRANA!!!!  1 ... 2 ... Noooo!!!!  Ember catches Cherry with a shotgun dropkick in the corner, then her cartwheel flip into a forearm!  Cherry is down and Ember climbs the ropes .... ECLIPSE!!!!  1 ... 2 ... 3!


PROMO -

We get a promo saying Asuka is coming to Shimmer ....




This brings out United States Champion Charlotte along with Nia Jax .... Charlotte is tired of all this press that Asuka is getting .... SHE is the queen of Shimmer and SHE is the one that should be getting all the press ....

Out come the Shimmer tag team champions Peyton Royce & Billie Kay .... they talk about how Royce pinned Charlotte last week, and she wants a title shot .... Jax takes the mic and accepts on Charlotte’s behalf, which pisses Charlotte off!  Jax walls off, and Charlotte stares a hole through her ....

This is a War and surprisingly Winter does not interfere .... these two beat the hell out of each other .... Kelly kicks out of the Ram-Paige, but Paige survives the ‘Trapped in Sin’ from Kelly .... Paige locks on the Scorpion Crosslock and Kelly refuses to tap out, instead she passes out!  Paige is declared the winner ....

Naomi attacks at the bell .... Rosemary dumps her outside and tosses Naomi into the ring steps .... Rosemary with elbow strikes, and follows with a big boot .... Naomi starts firing back, and they spill to the floor again .... They brawl, but Naomi posts Rosemary and takes control and nails her with the Rear View on the ramp!  Back inside Naomi hits a cross body for 2 .... Naomi locks on the slay-o-mission!  Rosemary fights out, then hits an XPLODER and both are down .... Rosemary goes for a spear but Naomi leap frogs and then hits her kicking flurry .... She goes for the split-legged moonsault but Rosemary with the KNEES!  Spear by Rosemary, then she scoops her up and drills her with the Red Wedding!  Rosemary retains the Shimmer title ....

Afterwards, Rosemary holds up the title and looks at the camera, saying all of Shimmer will suffer for what happened to her at Glory ....

Allysin Kay is asked why she helped Paige last week .... Kay says she and Paige aren’t friends, but this is business .... she claims that she wants to bring class to Shimmer .... ‘Pinkies Up!’


Toni Storm & Sasha Banks - vs - Premier Athlete Brand (Santana Garrett & Laurel Van Ness)

Banks and Storm work well as a unit against an established team .... Storm continues to shine, and she has quickly become one of the crowd favorites in Shimmer .... this is Storms moment, pinning Santana after hitting the Strong Zero piledriver ....

Banks raises Storms hand afterwards, but Storm says there is still unfinished business between them .... Storm wants a title shot, and Banks does too .... so Storm proposes a match between them .... Banks doesn’t just want a match, she wants a ‘Best of 5 series’!  Storm agrees and the two shake hands ....

(Champion) Charlotte w/ Nia Jax - vs - Peyton Royce w/ Billie Kay ~~~ United States title match

Royce performs well against Charlotte, and there are moments where it looks like we will have a new champion .... they battle back and forth and Charlotte sells for Royce like her dad did back in the day .... Royce hits the spin kick for a close near fall, but Jax reaches in and pulls the ref out of the ring!  Royce and Billie Kay attack Jax!  Jax fights both of them off and crushes Kay with an avalanche splash against the ring post!  Royce hits a baseball slide from inside the ring on Jax, but Charlotte uses the distraction to hit the Natural Selection from behind!  Charlotte goes right into the Figure 8 and Royce has no choice but to tap out ....

Charlotte celebrates with the title as the show ends ....
