PAY-PER-VIEW VI: “Crimson Crown”
Location: United Center, Chicago, IL
Theme: “Reign or Ruin” by Bad Omens
An empire in shambles. Alliances at war. The Crimson Crown awaits its next ruler—but at what cost?
Pre-Show Backstage Segment
Lucha Bros cut a cinematic, Spanish-English hybrid promo, declaring themselves unchallenged artists of violence. They announce an open challenge next month. The Street Profits roll in with swagger, proposing they don’t just fight—they fight in a best of 7 series. Penta simply nods, whispering “Cero… Miedo.”
1. Orange Cassidy & Darby Allin vs Powerhouse Hobbs & Carmelo Hayes
The energy kicks off hot. Hobbs and Cassidy play power vs passivity, while Melo and Darby electrify with aerial finesse. Hobbs manhandles both men until Cassidy rallies with his lazy dropkicks-turned-hurricane-DDTs. Melo nearly snatches a win with Nothing But Net on Cassidy, but Darby returns with a Coffin Drop.
Winners: Orange Cassidy & Darby Allin
2. MJF & FTR vs Edge, Christian & LA Knight
A match full of charisma and betrayal. Early on, Edge and Christian work well together—nostalgic double spears and assisted dives. MJF tags in rarely, only to steal heat and momentum. LA Knight dominates the crowd with catchphrases and clotheslines.
Just when Edge sets up for the Spear, Christian betrays him—hitting the Killswitch and walking out. FTR hits the Big Rig on Edge. MJF crawls over for the pin.
Winners: MJF & FTR
Post-match: Christian disappears into the shadows. LA Knight fights alone but gets dropped with a Heatseeker.
3. No Holds Barred
Braun Strowman vs Solo Sikoa
An urban brawl disguised as a wrestling match. Braun and Solo destroy ringside—tables, chains, even the ring steps. Suddenly, Jeff Cobb and Mark Briscoe enter the fight, battling each other to the back.
Solo hits a Samoan Spike wrapped in a chain—but Braun powers up and delivers a brutal Running Powerslam through a pile of chairs.
Winner: Braun Strowman
4. Sheamus vs Sami Zayn
A grounded, hard-hitting contest full of emotional depth. Sheamus brutalizes Sami with knees and Beats of the Bodhran. Sami shows heart—absorbing punishment and countering with a Tornado DDT and the Blue Thunder Bomb.
The end comes after Sami dodges a Brogue Kick and nails the Helluva Kick from the opposite corner.
Winner: Sami Zayn
Post-match: Sheamus nods in respect. Claudio is seen watching from the entrance tunnel.
5. Jacob Fatu Promo / Bobby Lashley Attack
Fatu calls himself the last king standing—“Death Rider, Dangerous Alliance—it doesn’t matter. I end.” But Bobby Lashley, flanked by Shelton Benjamin, hits the ring. Fatu laughs him off—until Lashley SPEARS him and beats him senseless with a chair.
He traps him in the Hurt Lock. Fatu fades, twitching.
Segment ends with Lashley snarling, standing tall.
6. The Usos vs Claudio & Sheamus vs Bron Breakker & Daniel Garcia
Trios chaos. Bron and Garcia use lightning-quick combo suplexes. Claudio goes into Euro uppercut mode. The Usos find their rhythm mid-match with superkicks and tandem splashes.
Bron spears Sheamus off the stage, but Jimmy Uso tags in blind and splashes Claudio for the win.
Winners: The Usos
Post-match: Garcia and Bron beat down The Usos, claiming dominance for the Dangerous Alliance.
7. Triple Threat – McIntyre vs Samoa Joe vs Gunther
A heavyweight clinic. Stiff chops. Nasty elbows. Joe suplexes both men multiple times. Gunther lands a wicked powerbomb on Drew, but Joe locks in the Coquina Clutch. Just before Drew fades, he slings Joe backward into the turnbuckle.
Drew roars, hits a Claymore on Joe, followed by one on Gunther.
Winner: Drew McIntyre
Post-match: Drew screams into the camera: “I’m next.”
8. Roman Reigns’ Open Challenge
Roman Reigns walks out pissed. “Death Riders, Dangerous Alliance—it doesn’t matter. One of you step up and die.”
Jay White appears with Bron Breakker and Daniel Garcia. The trio surrounds Roman. Suddenly, The Usos rush down and start brawling with Bron and Garcia—fighting up the ramp and into the crowd.
Roman Reigns vs Jay White
One-on-one, this becomes a war of strategy. Jay targets Roman’s neck with suplexes and inverted DDTs. Roman fights back with Superman Punches and a Drive-By. A ref bump almost lets Jay use a chair—but Roman counters with a Spear.
Winner: Roman Reigns
Post-match: Garcia returns, low-blows Roman. Bron follows with another spear. Dangerous Alliance stands tall.
Main Event – Steel Cage Match for the #1C World Title
Jon Moxley vs Seth Rollins
Steel. Blood. Legacy. The cage lowers amid red lights. Moxley enters with the World Title dragging behind him, looking like a madman. Rollins arrives in golden gear—his eyes locked on revenge.
The match is absolute war. Moxley uses forks, chairs, and even barbed wire wrapped around his arm. Rollins returns fire with a Phoenix Splash off the top rope, only getting a 2.9 count. Moxley kicks out of a Curb Stomp—twice.
Rollins goes for a superkick—but Moxley dodges and plants him with two consecutive Death Riders, the second onto a chair.
**Winner: Jon Moxley wins
*Post-match:* Moxley climbs the cage, bloodied and broken, but raises the title as confetti falls—not golden, but crimson.
