Steve Notes 9/21/20- LIVE SOON!

Oh dear. Retribution is here. They’ve been offered contracts? They have new masks and face paint. Mia’s face is hardly even covered up and she has some like war paint stuff on. Dijak looks like dollar store Bane. Mia drops a promo first, then Dijak, they seem to be anti-capitalist. 

Hurt business is out, they look to throw down, but they’re swarmed by the Retribution B-Team Squad. 

Jerry Lawler is on commentary. Bleh.

Kevin Owens Show

Intro- he says 2020 has been pretty weird, he never figured he’d invite Shane to his show- Lawler calls him the best in the world, although that’s a bit of a dated reference

They talk their history a bit, but KO says its water under the bridge, its about promoting Raw Underground

Shane: Battle of the behemoths- he talks up DK- he introduces Dabba Kato- can’t help but think if this dude was brought in in 1992 he woulda main evented wrestlemania immediately. 

KO tells DK that they’re gonna meet again at some point, then he SLAPS him, then introduces BRAUN.

Lee goes for a Spirit Bomb again, Drew gets out of it, hits Claymore, then Randy Orton attacks with a chair. DQ. Orton takes a chair to Drew’s jaw, then punts Lee. 

Orton promo I’ve never walked away from a world title match and I don’t plan to anytime soon

BUt this isn’t a normal world title match, is it? He opens ambulance door- I took a ride in this a few weeks ago, because I got 3 claymores- on the ride to the hospital, I was fading in and out and I was thinking THIS is what it feels like to be taken out by the legend killer- this is what christian, Hbk, etc all felt like when I kicked them in the skull- as I came to, I smiled because I remembered exactly what I am capable of. I remembered what it takes to become WWE champion. 

**1/2

Asuka interview, asked if Zelina or Mickie is a bigger threat-

Cedric: when you send a statement to HB, they send one back tenfold. Also, Apollo, I don’t give a damn about ur kids.

Seth promo

Wwe.com posted a series of photos from the Mysterio family this week, and I noticed something- he puts a picture on the tron- look at Dominik, look at Rey- it doesn’t seem possible- he had someone do some investigating

The Mysterios come out- we intend to give you a beating just like murphy- seth says hes grown to respect them- he’s inspired by them, they overcome adversity together- thats why they deserve the truth- he has the results of a DNA test- we need answer to the question who is your father? The truth is- Rey Mysterio. YOU ARE NOT THE FATHER! Maybe it’s not Dom thats not your son, maybe it’s aliyah that’s not your daughter- Rey, Aliyah, what was going on when you touched Murphy? Rey says he raised his kid to be caring and compassionate. Seth, she’s just 19 years old, she’s naive, knows nothing about our world. Aliyah walks off. 

Seth says he just came out to inform, he didn’t mean to drive a wedge between the mysterio family- I’m sorry.

This was quick- Nia started out, tagged in Shayna, she tapped Lana out
