VENUE: Michelob Ultra Arena (Mandalay Bay) CITY: Las Vegas, Nevada CAPACITY: 10,000 ANNOUNCE TEAM: Tom Phillips & Aiden English

The new TERMINUS video intro that plays to ‘THE OTHER SIDE’ by Alter Bridge …. HUGE pyro explodes from the stage as the camera pans the capacity crowd of 11,000 strong inside the Michelob Ultra Arena inside the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada …. Welcome to Terminus!!!


We are welcomed to the show …. We get a recap of the Terminus Summer Sizzler show that took place here in Las Vegas last week ….

Roman Reigns comes out to start the show …. He cuts a promo on the Rock and says that he will face the Rock at the Sizzler show in LA on the 1st …. Reigns says that he is allowing The Rock to step foot on his island of relevancy ….  

Here comes the Rock now and we get some back and forth, which leads to brawl …. Rock has Reigns set up for the People’s Elbow, but Reigns pops up and takes Rock out with a spear!  Reigns isn’t done there as he takes Rock to the floor and puts him through the announce table with a Rock Bottom!!!! ….

Reigns tells Rock that he’s got his match, but Reigns hasn’t named his conditions …. Coming to the island of relevancy comes with a cost, so if Rock loses, he has no choice but to acknowledge Reigns as his tribal chief!


MATCH 1: SHINSUKE NAKAMURA vs. KENNY OMEGA ———— GFW Next Gen title match:
CM Punk comes out to do commentary and talks about his 30 minute and 60 minute draws with Kenny Omega …. During one point in the match Omega ends up on the floor after taking Nakamura out with a dive and he gets face to face with Punk …. Back in the ring, Kenny avoids the Kinshasaa and scores with a V trigger followed by the One Winged Angel!  The ref counts, but Punk pulls the ref out of the ring right before the 3, resulting in the DQ finish ….

POST MATCH - Omega is pissed and asks if it’s because Punk knows that he can’t beat him …. Omega says he’s been all over the world, leaving a trail of 5 star matches everywhere he goes …. What has Punk done except claim to be the champion of a dead organization!  Punk wants Omega at the Sizzler again with no time limit, and Omega accepts ….


IN THE BACK -

FTR is with Dan Lambert for a promo  …. They brag about winning the GFW titles from the Steiners and now they are collecting belts …. The next belts they want are the WORLD tag team titles …. The lights flicker and when they come back on they are standing face to face with the House of Black! ….

FTR back off but here are the Briscoes …. They want a one on one title shot …. This leads to the Briscoes vs. House of Black tonight ….


Up next, ‘American Dragon’ Bryan Danielson comes out and cuts a promo on Shawn Michaels …. Danielson says he dominated the entire match but slipped on a banana peel and HBK got lucky …. It won’t happen again ….

HBK comes out to a big pop and says it sounds like Danielson wants to fight again …. HBK accepts …. HBK says the best in the world shouldn’t  slip on a banana peel …. It will be Danielson vs HBK tonight ….


MATCH 2: ASUKA vs. TEGAN NOX ———— Womens Match:
Tegan gets some offense in early, but Asuka hits a spin kick to the head that legit Ko’s Tegan!  Asuka wins via ref stoppage ….

POST MATCH: Beth Phoenix appears on the big screen … she has been big game hunting Asuka for 3 YEARS!  She asks if Asuka is woman enough to accept her challenge for the Sizzler, and Asuka accepts …. She says Beth is not ready for Asuka!!!!


IN THE BACK -

AJ Styles promo … he is disappointed about losing the US title to WALTER, but he is gonna keep moving forward …. He wants to face ‘Hangman’ Adam Page …. Kurt Angle comes out and says AJ lost the US title so I guess he is failing upwards …. Angle deserves another shot at Page …. AJ reminds Angle that he lost too!  Both guys are interrupted by Dan Lambert, and with his is of GFW champion JEFF COBB!!!!  

Lambert puts Cobb over and talks about the dominant run he has been on lately …. He says he is more athletic than AJ and a better wrestler than Angle …. Angle and AJ both take exception …. Lambert says everyone in the back is tired of the same people getting the same opportunities, but none of them have the balls to say it …. Well, Lambert has HUGE balls …. So he issues a challenge for a 3 way match at the Sizzler …. Winner gets the next crack at Page, and the other 2 step aside ….


Bourne Boujee are out and bragging again, this time about beating Ripley & Liv Morgan at the Sizzler …. Ripley comes out and confronts them, leading to a singles match ….


MATCH 3: RHEA RIPLEY vs. ALIYAH ———— Womens Match:
Bourne helps Aliyah get the advantage, but Ripley battles through it …. Ripley hits the Riptide on Aliyah, but Bourne comes in to break up the pin resulting in a DQ ….

POST MATCH: Bourne Boujee double team Ripley, when Tessa Blanchard makes her return and evens the odds!  Tessa helps Ripley clear the ring, leaving them face to face …. Ripley points at the womens title and says she’s coming for it at the Sizzler ….


MATCH 4: THE BRISCOES (Mark & Jay) vs. HOUSE OF BLACK ———— Tag Team Match:
After a long and hard-fought battle, Black sprays the black mist in the face of Jay, taking him out of the match …. Mark is left alone against both guys, and falls victim to Dante’s Inferno for the 3 count ….


Dvorack’s 9th symphony sounds in the arena and brings out United States Champion WALTER along with Imperium …. WALTER says he’s the most dominant competitor in the IWA, but he is still being overlooked …. Meanwhile someone like MJF makes a mockery of the X-Division …. It’s a disgrace that someone like MJF can enjoy such a long title reign just by running his mouth …. Well, when Der Ring General talks, you listen! …. MJF represents everything that is wrong in this business …. Lots of talking, very little skill …. It is time for WALTER to silence all the talking.  I have my opportunity to be X-Division champion and bring honor back to that championship, and MJF has the very unfortunate position of being in my way ….



MAIN EVENT: ‘Heartbreak Kid’ SHAWN MICHAELS vs. ‘American Dragon’ BRYAN DANIELSON ———— Singles Match:
These two battle it out up the aisle and around ringside before the bell even rings!  Danielson takes advantage, but it is more evenly fought that the Sizzler match which Danielson dominated …. HBK starts to dominate this one and sets Danielson up for Sweet Chin Music, but Austin Theory is here and tries to interfere!  HBK takes him out with Sweet Chin Music, but gets hit with the Busaiku knee from Danielson for the 3 count! ….

POST MATCH: Theory holds HBK while Danielson slaps him …. Danielson goes out and gets a chair, and he is going to Pillman-ize the arm of HBK but out of the crowd comes Marty Jannetty!!!!  Jannetty hits the ring with crazy fists, driving Danielson and Theory off and making the save for HBK …. HBK and Jannetty hug it out as the show ends ….

I think Roman is underestimating Rock

Omega has faced some of the very best since winning the Nex-Gen title.....but with Heyman in Punks corner, it may be more than even he can handle

Looks like House of Black could be the roadblock that keeps FTR away from the world champions

Beth vs Asuka??? NICE!!!

Lambert telling it the way it is to AJ and Angle

Thats a nice win for House of Black.....this team needs to be pushed to the moon

MJF hasnt been champion for over a year for no reason, but how will he get by Walter

Hmmmm......Marty helping HBK? Does this mean we may be getting the Rockers in the fed after all these years?

Good show
