I will say this, they made it feel like a huge announcement for once. Is it one? I think so, but will other people?

Sadly, it looks like Butcher may never wear the monocle again. MJF is up in a luxury box and he heels the crowd while Shawn Spears tosses popcorn on the crowd. Wardlow has to come out with no music, handcuffed until he gets to the ring.

This is just a hoss fight, with these guys hitting nothing but strikes and power moves. Butcher tosses chairs into the ring and the ref tosses them out. They brawl on the floor.

When they move to the ring, Butcher gets the first power bowm. Wardlow recovers quickly and hits 4 power bombs before covering Butcher for the three count.

We then came back to New TNT Champion Sammy Guevara and Tay Conti and they are getting booed. He tells the people who don’t like him to Be Mad. Scorpio Sky, Dan Lambert and Ethan Page come out to yell at him and they are getting cheered. That’s right, Dan Lambert getting cheered.

JR says what I am thinking: That escalated quickly.

We get another video from the House of Black. They let us know that next week, the sun dies.

Danielle Kamella vs Britt Baker in an Owen Hart Tournament Qualifying Match

At least Danielle got to have an entrance, right? Najee Harris and Pat Freiermuth from the Pittsburgh Steelers accompany her to the ring, nto Rebel and Jamie Hayter.

Kamella gets a slam in before Baker takes over and gets a series of two counts as we go picture in picture. A bit surprised this match will go long enough to have ads in it. Looks like all of Kamella’s offense will be on the small screen.

When we return to full screen, I have read up on Kamella, and she was in the WWE as Vanessa Borne. Kamella attacks Baker with a “Terrible Towel” and the ref breaks it up. Baker takes over and gets in a sling blade, a mule kick, a curb stomp and the lock jaw with a Pittsburgh Steeler’s glove. Kamella ta[ps out.

Winner: Britt Baker

Baker has a mic and says that the women’s division is a disaster without her. She runs down the women’s roster. She says that Jade Cargill called Pittsburgh ugly. Never mind that Baker slammed the city last time she was here.

We get a recap of the feud between Hikaru Shida and Serena Deeb and next week, they will have a Philly Street Fight.

Excalibur then shouts the cards for Rampage and Dynamite at us as fast as the guy from the Micro Machines Commercials.

Marq Quen jumps in as Darby is using his skateboard as a weapon. Blade is getting involved as well. Darby attacks again and Andrade grabs him and tosses him through the barricade as they brawl into the crowd. Sting shows up and runs off Blade and Marq Quen. Andrade and Darby fight behind them and they make it to stairs. Sting gets hit with a chair in the back by Quen, which does nothing. Sting then hits a cross body from the top of the entryway onto everyone.

They go picture in picture right after that, which is perfect.

When they return to full screen, Andrade has Sammy set up in the corner with a chair in front of his face, and Darby is able to kick the chair into Andrade and then hits a destroyer as we see the crazy stuff they did on the small screen. Darby goes for a coffin drop on the floor, and Andrade catches and suplexes him. Andrade kicks Andrade into the coffin and we see the inside of the lid is covered in thumb tacks.
