RAW RESULTS

04/29/2024

Murrey stepped up to the podium, straightening his tie. He gave a warm smile to the reporters and camera crews assembled before him.

“Thank you all for coming today. I’m sure there has been some confusion over the name ‘Murrey Entertainment’ and what the ‘ME’ stands for. I want to clarify that it does not represent my initials alone. The ‘ME’ is for ‘Murrey and Elizabeth’ – my dear business partner.”

He gestured to the impeccably dressed woman beside him, who gave a polite nod.

“Elizabeth and I have built this company from the ground up over many years of hard work. But I must squash any rumors – we are only partners in business. I have been happily married to my wonderful wife for six years now.”

Murrey beamed, briefly showing off his wedding ring.

“Speaking of upcoming events, I’m very excited for Backlash on May 4th. It’s shaping up to be an incredible pay-per-view.

However, after that, WWE will be taking a short break Memorial Day for the upcoming draft. This will allow our superstars a chance to recharge after several straight months of a grueling schedule…”

*audience cheers*

Opening Contest 🌟

Dominik Mysterio vs Drew McIntyre

The bell rang and Dominik Mysterio and Drew McIntyre went right at it. Dominik used his quickness to his advantage, dodging Drew’s powerful strikes. Midway through the match, Rhea Ripley came down to ringside to support Dominik.

This fired up McIntyre, who became more aggressive. He whipped Dominik into the corner with force. But Dominik amazingly kicked out after a Future Shock DDT from the Scottish Warrior.

The fight raged on with both men leaving it all in the ring. In the finale, Dominik caught Drew with a crisp superkick as he came off the ropes. Dominik followed it up with his 619 signature move and a frog splash to pick up the huge win!

Rhea slid into the ring, her face beaming with pride as she went to celebrate with Dominik. But in a shocking turn, Dominik shouted “I don’t need you!” and shoved Rhea backwards. She crumbled to the mat, tears streaking her face.

Dominik just stared down at her with a cold, dead expression. He gave her one last look of disgust and then walked up the ramp, leaving a heartbroken Rhea lying in the ring.

Winner: Dominik Mysterio

I LOVE THIS BAR 🍺🌟

Johnny Lawrence swaggered into the dimly lit bar, his signature red jacket draped over his shoulders. He made a beeline for the pool tables, ready to hustle some poor saps out of their beer money.

As Johnny racked up the balls, he sensed someone sidle up beside him. He turned to see Bobby Lashley’s massive, muscular frame looming over him.

“Hey man, this table’s taken,” Johnny said with an unconcerned smirk.

Suddenly, The Street Profits, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, appeared on either side of the Almighty Bobby Lashley.

“Oh, it’s about to be taken alright…” Dawkins said as Ford flashed Johnny a mischievous grin.

Before Johnny could so much as question their cheesy one-liner, Lashley grabbed him by the collar of his vintage Cobra Kai shirt and effortlessly hoisted him into the air.

“Hey, hey, fellas…can’t we work this out over a couple of brews?” Johnny pleaded, his legs kicking helplessly.

Lashley answered by violently slamming Johnny stomach-first onto the pool table, exploding the rack of balls in every direction. Johnny let out a pained wheeze as all the air was forced from his lungs.

The Street Profits then pounced on the prone Johnny, shoving his face into the table as they pulled his arms in opposing directions, doing their best to rip him apart like a Thanksgiving wishbone.

“Say it louds for the folks in the back! Whose house?!” Dawkins shouted.

“Owwwww! You’re a pussy!” Johnny groaned out as a pool ball ricocheted off his head.

Seemingly satisfied, Lashley, Ford and Dawkins stepped away, allowing Johnny to slump off the table in a heap onto the floor. The trio then grabbed Johnny’s arms and dragged his limp body out of the bar, leaving a path of broken glass, spilled drinks and bewildered patrons in their wake.

Huge Main Event

Non Title

The Rock versus Chris Jericho

The crowd was deafening as The Rock’s electrifying entrance music hit. The People’s Champ soaked in the roaring crowd as he made his way to the ring for this dream match against Chris Jericho.

Jericho was already in the ring, with a grin on his face. As The Rock entered the ring, the two living legends stared each other down in an intense faceoff.

The bell rang and the two immediately tied up, Jericho trying to use his technical prowess against The Rock’s unbelievable strength and power. It was a back-and-forth battle for the ages, with neither man giving an inch.

Midway through, Jericho suckered The Rock in and locked in the dreaded Walls of Jericho submission hold. But the Great One incredibly powered out, planting Jericho with a massive Rock Bottom!

Both men were battered and exhausted as the bout reached a crescendo. In the climactic final moments, Jericho went for his Codebreaker finisher, but The Rock shockingly ducked and caught him with the most electrifying People’s Elbow of all time!

The Rock covered Jericho for the 1-2-3, sending the capacity crowd into delirium.

Suddenly, the cameras cut backstage to Kevin Owens walking towards his locker room. Out of nowhere, Solo Sikoa ambushed him from behind! The Enforcer of the Bloodline viciously attacked, raining down blow after blow on the stunned Owens.

Solo then hoisted Kevin up and drove him face-first through his own locker room door with a bone-crunching Samoan Spike! Officials tried to pry Solo off Owens, but he just shoved them away snarling, leaving Kevin’s lifeless body crumpled in the debris of the destroyed door.

Winner: The Rock

Cheap Pop 🌟

The scene opens in Mick Foley’s office. He’s poring over promotional materials, trying to decide if Backlash should have a Star Wars theme to coincide with May the 4th.

Suddenly, the door bursts open and the old man with wild grey hair storms in.

“Great Scott! You can’t be serious about this Star Wars nonsense!”

Foley looks up, bewildered. “Doc Brown? What are you doing here?”

“Trying to save you from yourself!” Doc replies, snatching up the Star Wars decorations. “Pandering to cheap nostalgia to draw ratings? It’s unconscionable!”

Mick tries to interject, but Doc’s on a roll. “You’re selling out, Foley! Debasing your principles for a cheap pop!”

The screech of tires cuts him off. They turn to see a DeLorean pull up outside, Shinsuke Nakamura behind the wheel wearing a leather jacket and shades.

Doc storms towards the exit. “Some people will do anything for a cheap reaction these days. It’s a disgrace! Very un-American!”

He flings open the door and heads towards the DeLorean, leaving a confused Foley holding the crumpled Star Wars displays.

When Gargano staggers out, King catches him with a massive King’s Landing spinebuster! He goes for the cover…1…2…3!

Declaration for the Draft 📜🌟

“Ladies and gentlemen, I have an announcement to make,” King began. “I am officially declaring myself eligible for the upcoming World of Wrestling draft!”

The crowd erupted in cheers and boos. King raised his hand for silence.

“However, if I am still your NXT Champion by the time the draft rolls around, I will vacate the title out of complete disrespect because I carry this brand.”

King’s words hung in the air as the crowd’s reaction was a mix of surprise and disapproval for his outburst. Suddenly, the opening chords of Brock Anderson’s theme music hit, interrupting King’s moment.

Anderson emerged from the back, storming towards the ring with a look of determination. He snatched a microphone from a stagehand.

“Not so fast, Lexis! You won’t be the champion for much longer because I’m about to end your reign,” Anderson declared. “In fact, I’m leaving the main roster behind. I’m going to be the savior that NXT desperately needs!”

The two superstars stared each other down in the middle of the ring as the crowd went wild, setting the stage for an inevitable collision between the present and possibly the future of the company.
