Robert stone brand, he’s hysterical. Mecedes wants him to manage her so she can do what she does best- hurt people. She says don’t overstep, cuz I will permanently break both legs. They shake hands. Why are there literally NO other managers available?

He doesn’t need charity- he will take the NA title, he’s not playing chess- Balor/Lumis/Thatch is the next triple threat- hahah its gonna get the FINN RUB
Main event-
Killian Kross vs. David Puddy
My screen’s refresh rate can’t handle this entrance
More and more I’m pretty sure Kross is glacier 2.0; this match will tell me if I’m wrong
Dijak has THE most generic music and he’s amazing. I’m so bummed he’s about to lose this.
Strong lockup to start

Dijak takes over outside the ring, evades punch, Kross hits plexiglass
Kross turns tides with two kicks, DDT
Out of commercial, lazy rest hold as Kross preens more
Dijak yells time to fly and sends Kross flying with a suplex, hits sitdown chokeslam, 2
Dijak is carrying this entire match
Dijak plancha onto Kross, Kross comes back sending Dijak into steps
Kross kicks Dijak’s head off with steps. This match should be a DQ at this point wtf- IS THE OFFICIAL FUCKING HIGH??? DIJAK ISN’T MOVING THIS IS INSANE
Kross carries Dijak into the ring HE’S FUCKING OUT REF THE MATCH IS OVER
Ref lets Kross ground and pound- KEITH LEE IS OUT- FUCK HIM UP KEITH- THIS IS TOTALLY ROCKY 4, Keith wants to stop the match, Dijak says no. God I’m almost in tears, the love between these two men is pure. Kross is literally pinning Dijak and the ref doesn’t do shit.
Kross has Dijak in choke hold- rings the bell, Lee is in, I think Dijak is actually dead. I’m shook. Just shook. STOP LAUGHING SCARLETT, YOU AND YOUR MAN ARE TRASH.
