We are in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett are on commentary. 

CM Punk heads to the ring. He asks if it's great to be champ on a Monday night in New Mexico or what? Punk thanks his wife and the fans. He says he doesn't get here without them and says to give themselves a round of applause. He thanks Jey Uso and says he hopes they can be friends. He says he didn't come here to make friends but to make money and be champ. He says now he's champ. 

He says he needs to hold onto the title as long as he can. He says there good thing is that Seth Rollins isn't hanging around with an MITB briefcase ready to cash in on him. Punk then swings the title around like Seth and says it's for him. He says he wishes him a speedy recovery but says he will put him back on the couch if he comes after him. 

He says he knows there's a line already and says he knows The Vision is coming for his gold. He says he wants to be a fighting champ as there is a lot of people he wants to punch in the face. He brings up AJ Styles and says he earned a title shot. He says Jey Uso could take it and he's looking for Finn Balor. He brings up Sheamus then John Cena. He says Cena only has a few dates left and tells him if he wants some, come get some. He says anyone who wants it or deserves it, get in line because the champ is here.

Logan Paul comes out. Punk isn't pleased and tries to tell him to go to Smackdown. He says Ilja Dragunov's open challenge is perfect for him. Punk yells "Noo" as Logan talks. LP says he's a ferrari and Punk is a used Honda Civic. LP says he has earned a title shot. 

Paul Heyman comes out with The Bron's. Heyman rips LP and says Bronson Reed is in the front of the line for pinning Roman. He says the front of the line belongs to Bron Breakker. He says LP is in the line just to get in line. Heyman says LP is in the wrong place at the wrong time and tells him to get to steppin', now. 

LP says if you snooze you lose and says he was here first. He says Heyman should have hustled. Bron says Heyman brought everyone 2 weeks to live after dropping Seth Rollins in the dirt. Bron says he's not waiting anymore. Bron says nothing is standing in his way but some guy keeping his belt warm and some dumb@ss youtuber. He tells them to get out or he will whip them like a dog. 

Punk tells LP it's time to fight and to fight with him or get out of the ring. LP gets out and The Bron's get in his way. Bron shoves him and LP hits his head off the LED ring skirt. Punk is 2v1'd. LP gets in and goes after The Bron's. He then is 2v1'd. Bron hits a big overhead throw on LP. Bron top rope splashes LP.

Adam Pearce and a ref open balls out of a tumbler to see who will be in Cena's tournament.

CM Punk runs into Jey Uso in the back. Jey says something in his heart tells him to help Punk out. Jey says if he was champ, they'd come after him. He asks Punk to let him help him. Jey says they can get rid of The Vision tonight. Punk says he will get his gear on. They then pound fists.

Thoughts: It was a good match with everyone taking some hard shots and them keeping it competitive. They also furthered whatever they are doing here with Lyra and Bayley as a team.

The Warriors surrounded Lyra then Flair and Bliss come out to save her.

The Judgment Day talk in the back. RP says Raquel will face Vaquer for the women's title next week. Dominik Mysterio comes in and complains about Rey. He asks where Judgment Day was.

Thoughts: It was an entertaining bout as expected with a lot of flying and shenanigans with Dom and Sheamus. I enjoyed this and it was pretty much what it looked like it would be. Lee had a good showing and this did more for him than The LWO stuff did.

Nikki Bella talks to Vaquer in the back. She apologizes and says it's her fault. Steph says she's ready for Raquel and not to worry about it. Bella says she will cheer her on and wishes her luck.

Thoughts
: It was a lame finish to an okay match. It wasn't anything too out of the ordinary. The faces got overpowered and thrown around while the faces made their comebacks. At least The Bron's didn't lose here for a change. Punk and Jey were much better here than on SNME but Punk looked like he was hurting a little here.

Bron is sent into the steps after. Reed is put on the commentary table. Bron running flying spears Jey outside. Reed splashes Punk against the rails. Jey is held for a spear from Bron. Reed top rope splashes Jey. Punk grabs a chair and the heels run. The heels grab chairs. Logan Paul then comes down with his brass knucks. Paul then drops Punk with a brass knuckles shot.

Logan Paul gives Heyman his brass knuckles after and Heyman approves.

Overall thoughts: There wasn't a ton happening storyline wise here outside of Logan Paul returning and maybe making friends with The Vision. We had a lot of solid wrestling though with the Tag Title match and The Kabuki Warriors matches being good. The main was acceptable and okay but not much else. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 as it was an okay show, mostly thanks to the wrestling.
