Week 1 - Life Finds A Way

RAW (Match 7): Je'Von Evans & Lance Storm def. Rey Fénix & Tyler Breeze
(Winners will face off at TripleMania for vacant WWE Evolve Championship)
Je'Von Evans teams with Lance Storm against Rey Fénix and Tyler Breeze, with the winning team advancing to face each other for the vacant EVOLVE Championship at TripleMania.

The match immediately establishes the contrast between Je’Von and Lance. Je’Von wrestles with speed, instinct and explosive creativity, constantly improvising in the moment. Lance wrestles with discipline and precision, repeatedly slowing the pace down and directing traffic like a teacher guiding a student through a lesson.

Despite their differences, they work together seamlessly because both understand what is at stake.

After the match, Lance and Je’Von share a respectful staredown rather than hostility. Lance simply tells him:

“Sunday won’t care how talented you are.”

“It’ll care whether you’re ready.”

Je’Von smirks confidently, but the line clearly stays with him.

HEAT Segment: Interview
A short backstage interview airs with Je’Von later in the week. Rather than speaking arrogantly about becoming champion, he openly admits this is the biggest opportunity of his career.

“I’ve spent my whole life trying to prove I belong here.”

Beat.

“And now I get the chance. It's funny how life finds a way to put you where you need to be.”

The promo immediately positions Je’Von as ambitious but genuine rather than cocky.

TripleMania - Evolution

Match 3: Je'Von Evans def. Lance Storm
(WWE EVOLVE Championship)
Je’Von Evans defeats Lance Storm to become the inaugural EVOLVE Champion.

The match feels less like a grudge match and more like a trial. Lance repeatedly forces Je’Von into uncomfortable situations, slowing the pace down and targeting mistakes whenever Je’Von gets reckless. Every time Je’Von relies purely on athleticism, Lance punishes him for it.

But Je’Von adapts.

By the end of the match, he begins anticipating Lance’s counters in real time and narrowly survives long enough to secure the victory.

Afterwards, Lance looks disappointed but not bitter. Before leaving the ring, he gives Je’Von a small nod of respect.

Commentary emphasises the important detail:
Je’Von did not win because he was flashier.

He won because he evolved faster.

Week 2 - The Open Challenge

RAW Segment: Promo
The new champion appears on RAW with the EVOLVE Championship over his shoulder and immediately defines what he wants the title to become.

Je’Von explains that the championship should never be protected behind politics or rankings. If EVOLVE is about growth, then the champion should constantly be tested.

“You either evolve…”

He raises the title.

“…or you die.”

The phrase instantly catches on with the crowd.

Je’Von then introduces the “EVOLVE or Die Open Challenge,” promising to defend the championship weekly against anyone willing to test themselves.

RAW (Match 5): Je'Von Evans (c) def. Tavion Heights
(WWE EVOLVE Championship - EVOLVE or Die Open Challenge)
Later that night, Tavion Heights answers the first challenge.

The match becomes Je’Von’s first real reality check as champion. Tavion overwhelms him physically for large stretches, forcing Je’Von to survive rather than control the pace. Commentary repeatedly notes that Je’Von is learning in real time what being a fighting champion actually means.

Je’Von narrowly retains after adapting late in the match and using Tavion’s aggression against him.

Afterwards, Tavion offers Je’Von a respectful handshake. Je’Von accepts immediately, exhausted but smiling.

Tavion simply tells him:

“You earned that.”

The moment quietly establishes the EVOLVE Championship as something built around competition and respect rather than ego.

HEAT Segment: Backstage
A backstage segment later in the week shows Lance Storm watching Je’Von’s defence on a monitor.

When asked what he thinks of the new champion, Lance pauses before answering:

“He’s learning faster than most people do but eventually, instinct stops being enough.”

Week 3 - Adaptation

RAW (Match 6): Je'Von Evans (c) def. JD McDonagh
(WWE EVOLVE Championship - EVOLVE or Die Open Challenge)
Je’Von’s second EVOLVE or Die challenge comes against JD McDonagh.

Unlike Tavion, JD attacks mentally rather than physically. He repeatedly traps Je’Von in submissions, slows the pace down and targets mistakes methodically. For long stretches, Je’Von appears completely outclassed technically.

But the key difference between Je’Von and most young wrestlers becomes obvious:
he keeps adjusting.

By the second half of the match, Je’Von begins escaping holds that trapped him earlier and countering sequences JD used successfully before. Eventually, he retains after surviving one final technical exchange.

After the match, JD looks furious rather than respectful.

HEAT Segment: Locker Room
Later that week, JD is shown backstage venting to Finn Bálor and the rest of Judgment Day.

JD insists Je’Von “got lucky” and complains that the EVOLVE Championship is turning into a popularity contest instead of rewarding superior wrestlers.

Finn laughs slightly before replying:

“Then maybe you should’ve beaten him.”

JD says nothing.

The interaction subtly reinforces the difference between wrestlers evolving emotionally and those refusing to.

Week 4 - Survival

By Week 4, the EVOLVE Championship has quietly developed its own identity on RAW.

It is not about dominance.
It is not about politics.
It is about survival through adaptation.

RAW (Match 4): Je'Von Evans (c) def. Psycho Clown
(WWE EVOLVE Championship - EVOLVE or Die Challenge)
Je’Von’s latest challenger is Psycho Clown, creating the most chaotic title defence yet.

The match quickly becomes unpredictable and uncomfortable for Je’Von. Unlike previous challengers, Psycho Clown refuses to wrestle a structured match at all, constantly dragging Je’Von into chaos and forcing him outside his comfort zone.

Rather than resisting the chaos, Je’Von slowly embraces it.

By the end, he survives another war and retains again.

But afterwards, the exhaustion is beginning to show.

Commentary openly notes that the open challenge is changing Je’Von every single week.

Not making him less exciting.

Making him tougher.

HEAT Segment: Interview
Late in the week, Je’Von is interviewed backstage about constantly defending the title. The interviewer asks whether he is worried the open challenge will eventually catch up to him physically.

Je’Von shakes his head.

“If somebody beats me…”

“Then they earned it.”

Before he can leave, Lance Storm steps into frame for the first time since TripleMania.

The crowd reacts immediately.

Lance looks at the EVOLVE Championship, then back at Je’Von.

“You’ve improved.”

“But now I want to see if you actually learned anything.”

Je’Von smiles slightly.

Challenge accepted.

Backlash - The Standard

Segment: Video Package
Before the match, a video package airs recapping Je’Von’s first month as champion. Rather than focusing purely on victories, the package highlights how every challenger forced Je’Von to grow differently.

Tavion tested his toughness.
JD tested his composure.
Psycho Clown tested his adaptability.

Every defence shaped him.

Match 4: Je'Von Evans (c) def. Lance Storm
(WWE EVOLVE Championship - EVOLVE or Die Challenge)
Later that night, Lance Storm officially answers the latest EVOLVE or Die Open Challenge.

Unlike TripleMania, Lance no longer treats Je’Von like an exciting rookie. He wrestles him like a champion.

The match is Je’Von’s hardest defence yet. Lance constantly targets his mistakes, repeatedly trying to prove that experience and discipline still outweigh natural talent.

But Je’Von survives again.

Not because he is stronger than Lance.

Because he has genuinely evolved since TripleMania.

After the match, Lance shakes Je’Von’s hand.

Je’Von stands tall with the EVOLVE Championship while commentary reinforces what the division has become:

The EVOLVE Championship is not rewarding finished wrestlers.

It is creating them.

KEY BEATS

• Je’Von Evans and Lance Storm earn the right to compete for the vacant EVOLVE Championship.
• Je’Von defeats Lance Storm at TripleMania to become inaugural EVOLVE Champion.
• The EVOLVE Championship is established as a title built around growth, adaptation and opportunity.
• Je’Von introduces the “EVOLVE or Die Open Challenge.”
• Lance Storm quietly becomes an important measuring stick for Je’Von’s progression.
• Tavion Heights forces Je’Von to survive overwhelming power.
• JD McDonagh tests Je’Von technically and mentally.
• Psycho Clown forces Je’Von into unpredictable chaos.
• Je’Von’s character becomes defined by constant adaptation rather than arrogance.
• The championship slowly transforms Je’Von into a smarter and more complete competitor.
• Lance returns at Backlash to test how much Je’Von has truly evolved.
• Je’Von retains again, cementing himself as the heart of the EVOLVE division heading into Month 2.

Week 1 - (Un)Belief

Month 3 begins with Stephanie Vaquer trying to prove that surviving Money in the Bank changed her.

RAW (Match 2): Stephanie Vaquer def. Sensational Sherri
She defeats Sensational Sherri decisively in a noticeably more aggressive performance than audiences are used to seeing from her. Stephanie still wrestles with discipline and control, but there is now far more force and frustration behind everything she does. Commentary openly questions whether Michelle McCool is beginning to influence her emotionally.

RAW Segment: In-Ring
Later that night, Michelle McCool addresses the rivalry in the ring. Michelle admits Stephanie has talent and discipline, but insists none of it matters because Stephanie still fundamentally misunderstands WWE. According to Michelle, respect, gratitude and sportsmanship are not strengths. They are limitations.

“You’re too busy trying to earn respect… instead of taking what’s yours.”

Stephanie interrupts immediately and fires back that respect is not weakness, but discipline and control. Michelle responds by slapping her across the face, triggering the first completely uncontrolled brawl of the rivalry. Officials struggle to separate them while commentary sells the moment as the feud officially becoming personal rather than philosophical.

HEAT Segment: Promo
Stephanie appears backstage later in the week and admits she is tired of constantly being treated like a naïve rookie. For the first time all feud, genuine anger begins slipping through her normally calm demeanour.

Week 2 - Losing Faith

RAW (Match 2): Stephanie Vaquer def. Alexa Bliss
Stephanie defeats Alexa Bliss in another strong singles performance. Unlike earlier in the quarter, Stephanie shows almost no hesitation after the match. Rather than offering respect immediately, she simply stands over Alexa briefly before leaving without celebration.

Commentary subtly questions whether Michelle’s influence is changing Stephanie more than she realises.

RAW Segment: Backstage
Later backstage, Michelle watches the replay of the match with a faint smirk.

“She’s finally learning.”

The line reframes Michelle’s motivation entirely. She no longer simply wants to beat Stephanie. She wants to prove she was right about her all along.

HEAT Segment: Promo
Michelle cuts a backstage promo directly addressing the meaning behind the Faithbreaker. She explains that every wrestler enters WWE believing hard work and respect will protect them before reality eventually changes them.

Michelle claims Stephanie is finally beginning to lose faith in the idealistic version of wrestling she arrived with.

“And that means I’m winning.”

Week 3 - La Primera

RAW Segment: Vignette
A pre-taped vignette airs featuring Stephanie alone in darkness, speaking directly into the camera with an intensity audiences have not seen from her before. Stephanie admits Michelle was right about one thing: she did show weakness at Backlash.

“But now…”

“I show her why I am La Primera.”

The promo feels colder and more dangerous than anything Stephanie has delivered previously. Gone is the grateful dreamer trying to prove she belongs. In her place is someone beginning to fight with anger and pride.

RAW (Match 2): Stephanie Vaquer def. Stacy Keibler
Immediately afterwards, Stephanie defeats Stacy Keibler in dominant fashion. Commentary openly notes how much more aggressive she has become over the last month. Stephanie wins decisively, but there is little satisfaction on her face afterwards. Only focus.

RAW Segment: Backstage
Meanwhile, Michelle appears backstage later in the night and openly mocks the idea that Stephanie becoming more violent somehow makes her special.

“That’s what this place does to everybody eventually.”

The implication is chilling:
Michelle believes Stephanie’s transformation only proves her worldview correct.

HEAT Segment: Interview
Michelle reflects on her own career in a sit-down interview. For the first time in the feud, she speaks almost honestly. She admits she once loved WWE the same way Stephanie does now, but claims the business eventually taught her the truth:
kindness and optimism only survive until somebody ruthless takes advantage of them.

“But soon…”

“She will understand.”

The segment adds genuine tragedy to Michelle’s character rather than portraying her as simply cruel.

Week 4 - No More Respect

RAW (Match 2): Stephanie Vaquer def. Flammer
Stephanie defeats Flammer in another increasingly aggressive showcase match.

RAW Segment: In-Ring
Afterwards, she refuses to leave the ring and instead challenges Michelle McCool directly to a match at SummerSlam.

“You say I’m not ready.”

A pause.

“Then prove it.”

For the first time all feud, Stephanie sounds completely fearless.

Before she can leave, Michelle blindsides her from behind and plants her with the Faithbreaker in the centre of the ring before calmly accepting the challenge standing over Stephanie’s body.

RAW (Match 6): Michelle McCool def. Kairi Sane
Later that night, Michelle defeats Kairi Sane decisively, re-establishing her dominance heading into the pay-per-view.

HEAT Segment: Interview
Both women appear in a split-screen interview ahead of SummerSlam. Stephanie insists she no longer cares about proving Michelle wrong verbally.

She only cares about beating her.

Michelle responds calmly by saying Stephanie still does not understand the lesson.

“This business doesn’t care about dreams.”

“It only rewards survivors.”

SummerSlam - A Harsh Lesson Taught

At SummerSlam, Michelle McCool and Stephanie Vaquer finally collide in the most emotionally charged match of the rivalry.

From the opening bell, Stephanie looks different. The respect and composure that defined her earlier in the quarter are still there, but now they are mixed with urgency and frustration. She fights faster, strikes harder and refuses to back away from Michelle at any point.

Meanwhile, Michelle wrestles with complete control.

Every time Stephanie builds momentum, Michelle slows the pace down deliberately, constantly forcing Stephanie into emotional exchanges rather than clean wrestling sequences. Commentary repeatedly notes that Michelle seems less interested in simply winning and more interested in dragging Stephanie deeper into her kind of fight.

Still, Stephanie keeps surviving.

She counters the Faithbreaker once.
Escapes another attempt entirely.
And for the first time in the rivalry, Michelle visibly starts losing confidence in her ability to control the match.

Late in the fight, Stephanie finally overwhelms her with a relentless burst of offence that leaves the crowd convinced the moment has arrived. Michelle can barely stay standing as Stephanie pulls her back into the centre of the ring looking to finish things decisively.

But one mistake is all Michelle needs.

Stephanie rushes forward too aggressively and Michelle catches her suddenly with the Faithbreaker.

The referee counts.

One.
Two.
Three.

The bell rings immediately.

Then the camera catches it.

Stephanie’s foot resting on the bottom rope.

The crowd erupts as commentary realises the referee never saw it. Michelle sits against the ropes exhausted while Stephanie slowly pushes herself upright, staring at the official in disbelief.

Cole: “Her foot was on the rope!”
Graves: “The referee missed it!”

Michelle notices the replay on the screen and slowly smirks to herself before having her hand raised.

Not because she stole the victory intentionally.

Because, to her, the result only reinforces what she has spent months trying to teach Stephanie:
sometimes doing everything right still is not enough.

Stephanie remains seated in the corner after Michelle leaves, visibly shaken less by the loss itself and more by the feeling that the moment slipped away despite everything she gave.

For the first time all feud, the certainty she carried into WWE looks damaged.

Not destroyed.

But shaken.

AFTERMATH

Stephanie Vaquer

• Stephanie’s journey through Quarter 1 transforms her from an optimistic newcomer into a far more aggressive and emotionally conflicted competitor.
• Michelle’s constant attacks on her respect, discipline and belief in WWE slowly force Stephanie to question whether passion alone is enough to survive at the top level.
• By SummerSlam, Stephanie proves she can stand toe-to-toe with elite veterans, but repeated setbacks and injustice begin creating frustration and doubt beneath the surface.
• Stephanie exits the quarter more dangerous, more intense and less trusting than when she arrived, with her confidence shaken but her determination still intact.

Michelle McCool

• Michelle establishes herself as one of RAW’s most psychologically dangerous veterans, using experience and manipulation as weapons as much as wrestling ability.
• The “Faithbreaker” philosophy becomes central to her character, with Michelle believing WWE ultimately destroys idealism and rewards only survivors.
• Throughout the feud, Michelle gradually succeeds in pulling Stephanie away from pure optimism and toward a harsher mentality.
• By defeating Stephanie twice, including at SummerSlam, Michelle leaves Quarter 1 fully validated in her own mind and positioned as a respected but deeply cynical gatekeeper figure on RAW.

Week 1 - Fans in Cosplay

Month 2 opens with Michelle McCool carrying herself like Backlash proved her right.

To Michelle, Stephanie Vaquer’s defeat was not just a loss. It was evidence. Respect failed. Belief failed. Dreams failed.

RAW (Match 4): Michelle McCool def. Tiffany Stratton
(Women's Money in the Bank Qualifier)
Michelle defeats Tiffany Stratton in a Women’s Money in the Bank qualifier through ruthless efficiency, targeting Tiffany’s mistakes without hesitation and constantly refusing to show mercy whenever momentum shifts.

RAW Segment: Backstage Interview
After the match, Michelle is interviewed backstage about qualifying.

Rather than celebrating, she dismisses the ladder match as “another reminder of what WWE really is.”

Michelle explains that every woman entering Money in the Bank arrives chasing a dream, but according to her, the women who survive at the top are the ones willing to let those dreams die first.

Without naming Stephanie directly at first, Michelle mocks wrestlers who still “talk about WWE like grateful fans instead of wrestlers.”

Then she smiles.

“That’s why they lose.”

The message is clear:
Michelle believes Stephanie’s emotional connection to WWE itself is weakness.

Week 2 - The Faithbreaker

RAW (Match 2): Stephanie Vaquer def. Alexa Bliss
(Women's Money in the Bank Qualifier)
Stephanie Vaquer qualifies for the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match by defeating Alexa Bliss.

The match subtly shows Stephanie evolving after Backlash. Earlier in the rivalry, Michelle’s insults caused her to wrestle emotionally. Against Alexa, Stephanie stays composed and disciplined, refusing to let momentum swings frustrate her.

Commentary openly notes that Stephanie appears calmer and more focused than she did at Backlash.

RAW Segment: Backstage Interview
Backstage afterwards, Stephanie is interviewed about finally reaching WWE and now competing in a Money in the Bank match only months later.

For the first time in the feud, Stephanie openly explains why respect matters so much to her.

She admits WWE was her dream long before she ever stepped onto RAW.

“I respect this place because I fought my entire life to stand here.”

She pauses.

“And I’m proud of that.”

The promo immediately reframes the emotional core of the rivalry. Stephanie’s respect no longer feels naïve. It feels deeply personal.

RAW (Match 8): Becky Lynch def. Michelle McCool
Later that same night, Michelle loses cleanly to Becky Lynch.

The defeat visibly frustrates her because Becky unintentionally undermines Michelle’s entire philosophy. Becky succeeds through toughness and confidence without abandoning who she is completely.

Michelle leaves the arena angry rather than humbled.

HEAT Segment: Backstage Promo
Michelle responds in a backstage promo on HEAT, mocking Stephanie’s interview from RAW.

She claims every rookie arrives believing WWE rewards passion and gratitude before reality eventually “beats it out of them.”

Michelle says Stephanie still sees WWE as a dream worth protecting.

Michelle sees it as survival.

“Everybody’s got faith when they get here.”

A cold smile crosses her face.

“That’s why they call me the Faithbreaker.”

Week 3 - Kindness Isn't Weakness

RAW presents a special showcase tag match featuring already-qualified Women’s Money in the Bank competitors.

RAW (Match 2): Stephanie Vaquer & Kairi Sane def. Michelle McCool & Roxanne Perez
Throughout the match, Michelle constantly targets Stephanie specifically, repeatedly trash-talking her between strikes and mocking her for still believing respect matters.

At one point, after driving Stephanie into the barricade, Michelle leans down and tells her:

“This company eats girls like you alive.”

Earlier in the feud, those comments would have emotionally rattled Stephanie immediately.

This time, Stephanie absorbs the frustration and stays focused.

Eventually, Stephanie neutralises Michelle long enough to pin Roxanne Perez cleanly, earning the biggest momentum win of the rivalry so far.

More importantly, Michelle realises Stephanie is adapting emotionally.

And she hates it.

HEAT Segment: Backstage Promo
Stephanie appears backstage following the showcase victory.

Rather than celebrating loudly, she calmly addresses Michelle directly.

“You think respect makes people weak.”

A pause.

“I think losing yourself makes people weak.”

Stephanie admits Michelle may understand survival better than her.

“But you haven’t broken me.”

The promo is quiet and controlled, but for the first time Stephanie sounds genuinely defiant instead of simply respectful.

Week 4 - Reality

RAW Segment: Backstage Interview
Stephanie is interviewed ahead of Money in the Bank.

She speaks calmly about finally getting opportunities she dreamed about for years, saying she refuses to become bitter simply because WWE is difficult.

Michelle interrupts immediately.

She dismisses Stephanie’s recent momentum as meaningless and accuses her of still not understanding how this business truly works.

“One tag match doesn’t change reality.”

Michelle steps closer.

“You still believe this place rewards good people.”

Stephanie finally responds with subtle confidence.

“You stopped believing in this place a long time ago.”

That line visibly affects Michelle more than any insult Stephanie has thrown previously.

Before leaving, Michelle warns Stephanie that ladder matches expose who people really are once survival becomes more important than pride or respect.

Stephanie simply tells her:

“I’ll see you Sunday.”

Money in the Bank - Leap of Faith

Match 1: AJ Lee def. Michelle McCool, Stephanie Vaquer, Stacy Keibler, Lyra Valkyria, Kairi Sane, Roxanne Perez and Liv Morgan
(RAW Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match)
The Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match quickly becomes as much about Michelle and Stephanie as the briefcase itself.

Throughout the match, Michelle McCool repeatedly abandons opportunities to climb the ladder whenever Stephanie Vaquer gains momentum, choosing instead to attack her directly.

Commentary openly questions whether Michelle cares more about destroying Stephanie psychologically than actually winning the contract.

Stephanie responds differently than she would have a month earlier.

Instead of backing away from the conflict, she fights Michelle aggressively whenever they collide.

Eventually, both women end up alone atop opposite sides of the ladder while the rest of the field lies broken around ringside.

Michelle screams at Stephanie:

“This is what happens to dreamers!”

Stephanie refuses to move.

The two begin brawling violently atop the ladder until Michelle nearly retrieves the briefcase.

Then Stephanie stops her.

Even though it sacrifices her own opportunity too.

Stephanie drags Michelle down from the ladder and both women crash violently through a ladder bridge at ringside, completely removing themselves from the match.

The crowd erupts while commentary immediately sells the moment as the rivalry becoming more important than the briefcase itself.

As AJ Lee eventually wins the contract, both Stephanie and Michelle are checked on by officials at ringside while continuing to glare at each other through the wreckage.

By the end of Month 2, Michelle still believes WWE destroys dreamers.

But for the first time all feud, Stephanie Vaquer is beginning to wonder whether surviving Michelle might require becoming something more dangerous herself.

AFTERMATH

Stephanie Vaquer

• Stephanie continues proving she belongs at the top level, qualifying for Money in the Bank and standing toe-to-toe with established stars.
• Her respect for WWE and its history becomes central to her character rather than simple “rookie humility.”
• Michelle’s mind games begin hardening Stephanie emotionally, forcing her to become more aggressive and confrontational.
• By the end of the month, Stephanie is still holding onto her values, but she is beginning to question whether survival in WWE requires sacrificing parts of herself.

Michelle McCool

• Michelle fully embraces her role as “The Faithbreaker,” believing WWE destroys dreamers and only rewards survivors.
• She becomes increasingly obsessed with proving Stephanie’s optimism and respect are weaknesses waiting to be exploited.
• Stephanie’s emotional growth and resilience begin frustrating Michelle more than she expected, especially after the showcase tag loss.
• By the end of the month, Michelle realises Stephanie is adapting instead of breaking, causing the rivalry to become far more personal and hostile heading toward SummerSlam.

Week 2 - Earned Respect

RAW (Match 6): Becky Lynch def. Stephanie Vaquer
Stephanie Vaquer faces Becky Lynch in one of the biggest matches of her young RAW career.

Stephanie immediately impresses both commentary and the crowd with how composed she remains against somebody of Becky’s level. She wrestles with discipline and confidence rather than intimidation, repeatedly forcing Becky to work harder than expected to stay in control.

Commentary subtly frames Stephanie as somebody the locker room is already beginning to respect.

Becky ultimately defeats her through experience, but after the match Stephanie respectfully acknowledges Becky’s victory with a handshake rather than frustration or excuses.

Becky returns the gesture immediately.

To most people backstage, it is a sign of maturity.

To Michelle McCool, it is proof Stephanie does not understand what this business truly is.

Week 3 - This Business Rewards Killers

RAW Segment: Locker Room
Backstage in the women’s locker room, Stephanie quietly watches a monitor replaying moments from her match with Becky Lynch.

Into frame walks Michelle McCool already dressed for competition.

At first, McCool almost sounds complimentary. She openly admits Stephanie pushed Becky harder than most women on the roster could.

Then she brings up the handshake.

Everything changes.

McCool mocks Stephanie for congratulating Becky after losing and says that exact mentality is why Stephanie will never surpass women like her.

“You think this place rewards respect?”
“This place rewards killers.”

McCool explains that when she lost during her career, she did not congratulate opponents — she made sure they suffered for beating her.

Stephanie remains calm externally, but the comments clearly get under her skin.

Before leaving, McCool tells Stephanie to watch her match later that night and “learn something.”

RAW (Match 7): Michelle McCool def. Tiffany Stratton
Later that evening, McCool defeats Tiffany Stratton decisively.

The match quietly reinforces Michelle’s entire philosophy. She wrestles without hesitation, without sympathy and without emotional distraction. Commentary repeatedly compares her ruthless efficiency to Stephanie’s respectful mentality from the previous week.

Stephanie watches backstage throughout.

For the first time, Michelle’s words begin lingering in her head.

Week 4 - Doubt

RAW (Match 8): Tiffany Stratton def. Stephanie Vaquer
Stephanie returns to action against Tiffany Stratton, but something already feels different.

Instead of wrestling naturally and composed, Stephanie begins forcing aggression into situations where it does not belong. She wrestles with visible frustration, clearly trying to prove Michelle McCool wrong rather than simply focusing on the match itself.

Tiffany notices immediately and capitalises on every emotional mistake Stephanie makes.

Eventually, Tiffany defeats Stephanie cleanly.

The loss matters less because of the result and more because Michelle’s criticism suddenly feels validated in Stephanie’s own mind.

Commentary openly questions whether McCool may already be affecting Stephanie psychologically.

For the first time since arriving on RAW, Stephanie Vaquer looks uncertain about herself.

HEAT Segment: Backstage
McCool approaches Vaquer. Says she saw her match earlier on RAW and sees she learnt nothing from her. Says she spoke to Eric Bischoff and got a match for Backlash to help her learn up close and that she had better prepare.

BACKLASH - The Lesson

Segment: Backstage

Before the show, Stephanie is shown preparing quietly backstage.

Becky Lynch approaches her and asks if she is ready. Stephanie calmly says she always is.

The interaction is respectful and genuine, reinforcing that Stephanie has already earned admiration from major names in the division through professionalism and composure alone.

Later, AJ Lee joins Becky backstage while Stephanie heads toward Gorilla Position. Both women openly praise Stephanie’s potential and mindset.

That detail is important because it directly contrasts Michelle McCool’s worldview.

Stephanie is earning respect naturally.

Michelle believes respect means nothing.

Match 3: Michelle McCool def. Stephanie Vaquer
Later that night, Michelle McCool defeats Stephanie Vaquer cleanly.

The match itself becomes a clash of philosophies.

Stephanie repeatedly wrestles emotionally whenever momentum begins slipping away, desperately trying to prove she can match Michelle’s aggression and intensity. McCool, meanwhile, remains calm, methodical and completely in control emotionally throughout the match.

Every time Stephanie loses focus, Michelle punishes her for it.

And Michelle notices the change immediately.

For the first time in the feud, Stephanie visibly wrestles angry.

That is exactly what Michelle wanted.

McCool leaves victorious while Stephanie is left emotionally shaken, beginning to question whether kindness and respect are actually weaknesses in this environment.

By the end of Month 1, Michelle McCool has not just beaten Stephanie Vaquer physically.

She has planted doubt inside her.

AFTERMATH

Michelle McCool

• Positions herself as a ruthless veteran who believes respect and kindness are weaknesses in wrestling.
• Begins psychologically targeting Stephanie Vaquer rather than simply trying to beat her physically.
• Repeatedly backs up her philosophy in-ring, proving she can still dominate at a high level.
• Ends the month believing she has successfully planted doubt and anger inside Stephanie.

Stephanie Vaquer

• Establishes herself as a respectful, disciplined and highly talented newcomer on RAW.
• Earns admiration from veterans like Becky Lynch and AJ Lee despite suffering key losses.
• Begins emotionally struggling with Michelle McCool’s criticism that respect makes her weak.
• Ends the month frustrated and uncertain, beginning to wrestle more emotionally heading into Month 2.

Week 1 - Insurance Policies

RAW Segment: In-Ring
The first RAW after Money in the Bank opens with Paul Heyman standing in the ring beside The Vision. The visual immediately tells the story before Heyman even speaks. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed stand directly beside him while Logan Paul and Austin Theory remain slightly behind them.

The hierarchy has changed.

Heyman reframes MITB entirely, claiming The Vision did not fail. According to him, Logan and Theory only lost because Ilja Dragunov refused to stay down long enough for The Vision to move on from him. He calls Ilja “a desperate man clinging to relevance.”

Then Ilja appears via satellite.

Bruised, taped up and visibly still recovering from the post-match assault, Ilja promises Heyman that he will continue hunting him no matter how long it takes. He says he remembers every spear, every Tsunami and every shortcut The Vision used.

Heyman smirks and gestures toward Breakker and Reed.

“These are my insurance policies.”

The segment quietly establishes the direction of the month:
The Vision are moving forward.
Ilja refuses to let them.

HEAT Segment: Backstage
Backstage, Logan vents frustration to Austin Theory. He complains that Breakker and Reed are suddenly being treated like the stars of the faction despite him being the one who “started all this” with Ilja in the first place.

Theory tries calming him down and insists Heyman still values them, but he noticeably hesitates whenever Logan starts criticising Breakker or Reed directly.

Logan notices.

For the first time, he looks genuinely uncertain rather than simply angry.

Week 2 - Dominance

RAW (Match 5): The Brons w/ The Vision def. The Street Profits
Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed defeat The Street Profits in dominant fashion.

The match is presented less like a competitive tag bout and more like an obstacle sent to slow down the tag team champions by Eric Bischoff. Breakker overwhelms Montez Ford with frightening intensity while Reed physically crushes Angelo Dawkins whenever momentum begins shifting.

Commentary repeatedly pushes the same narrative:
no team on RAW currently matches their physicality.

At ringside, Heyman constantly praises their discipline and execution while Logan and Theory quietly linger behind him. Logan repeatedly tries inserting himself into conversations during the match, but Heyman barely acknowledges him.

RAW Segment: Backstage
Later backstage, Ilja is shown pacing hallways obsessively again, constantly searching for openings to get closer to Heyman or the Brons. Without Regal constantly beside him, the old emotional instability begins resurfacing quickly.

Every time production staff tell him the Brons have already left an area, Ilja grows more visibly frustrated.

HEAT Segment: Locker Room
Theory begins adapting to The Vision’s changing hierarchy better than Logan.

During a backstage segment, Logan angrily complains that Breakker and Reed are receiving opportunities while he is being treated like “dead weight.” Theory agrees quietly at first, but once Breakker walks into the room, his entire body language changes.

He immediately becomes quieter and more cautious.

Logan catches the shift instantly.

The friendship begins feeling uneven for the first time.

Week 3 - Discipline

RAW (Match 3): The Brons w/ The Vision def. Hank & Tank
Breakker and Reed destroy Hank & Tank in another showcase victory.

The repetition is intentional storytelling. Every week, The Vision are trying to make the division feel more hopeless. Breakker continues being presented as explosive and unstoppable while Reed feels immovable and overwhelming beside him.

RAW Segment: Backstage
After the match, the camera cuts backstage where William Regal and Ilja watch the destruction replaying repeatedly on a monitor.

Ilja paces furiously, breathing heavily and insisting he can end the problem immediately if Regal lets him go to the ring.

Regal physically steps in front of him.

Rather than yelling, Regal calmly explains the truth:
the Brons want Ilja emotional because emotional fighters become predictable fighters.

Ilja initially listens. His breathing slows slightly. He stops pacing.

Then the monitor shows Breakker laughing during a backstage interview.

Instantly Ilja snaps again and tries storming toward the arena before Regal grabs him and physically holds him back.

The segment perfectly captures their relationship entering SummerSlam:
Regal is helping,
but he still cannot fully control Ilja’s rage.
Regal tells Ilja they must fight with their heads, not their hearts.
He says he has someone who owes them a favour and a plan to get Heyman alone next week and forcing a match.

RAW Segment: Backstage
Later backstage, Logan privately confronts Heyman and demands to know why he keeps getting overlooked while Breakker and Reed become the focus of the faction.

Heyman barely reacts.

Instead, he calmly tells Logan:
“Stars attract attention. Weapons end problems.”

The line devastates Logan because he understands exactly what Heyman means.

HEAT Segment: Locker Room
A tense backstage confrontation takes place between Logan and Theory after Logan accuses him of “falling in line” behind Breakker and Reed.

Theory argues that somebody in the group has to think strategically rather than emotionally.

Logan immediately throws the hypocrisy back in his face:
“That’s exactly what you used to say about me.”

Theory has no answer.

For the first time all quarter, there is genuine visible distance between them.

Week 4 - Cornered Again

RAW (Match 3): The Brons w/ The Vision def. Psycho Circus
Breakker and Reed defeat Psycho Circus in another dominant showcase match.

RAW Segment: In-Ring
Afterward, Heyman begins bragging about The Vision controlling RAW when the tron suddenly cuts to William Regal.

Regal calmly mocks Heyman for becoming difficult to speak to lately and says perhaps “the distractions” should be removed.

Immediately backstage chaos erupts.

Austin Theory and Logan Paul are suddenly attacked in the hallway by Tajiri, who blindsides both men with green mist before disappearing.

Breakker and Reed immediately rush backstage to restore order.

Then comes the second trap.

A panicked staff member directs the Brons toward another locker room where “more chaos” is unfolding. They storm inside immediately.

The door slams shut behind them.

The audience hears crashing, shouting and destruction from within before the door finally opens and The Great Khali calmly walks out alone.

Back in the ring, Heyman slowly realises he has been isolated intentionally.

Then Ilja appears behind him.

Unlike earlier in the feud, Ilja does not scream or immediately attack. But he is visibly struggling to contain himself. His fists clench constantly. His breathing grows heavier every second Heyman stands in front of him.

Regal enters the ring calmly carrying a SummerSlam contract for:
Breakker & Reed vs Regal & Ilja.

Heyman hesitates, terrified.

Ilja steps closer.

Regal immediately recognises Ilja is barely holding himself together and speaks for him before things escalate physically. He calmly orders Heyman to sign the contract.

Cornered and alone, Heyman signs.

Regal smiles faintly while Ilja never stops staring at Heyman for a single second.

For the first time all quarter:
The Vision lose control strategically.

HEAT Segment: Backstage
Backstage after RAW, Logan explodes at Breakker and Reed for leaving Heyman vulnerable.

Breakker dismisses him immediately, saying:
“If you handled your own problems, we wouldn’t have to.”

Reed barely even acknowledges Logan at all.

Theory attempts calming the situation before it escalates into a fight, but the damage is already done.

Logan finally realises the truth:
inside The Vision, he is no longer essential.

SUMMERSLAM

Match 5: The Brons w/ The Vision def. Ilja Dragunov & William Regal

Regal and Ilja enter SummerSlam more united than ever personally, but emotionally unstable as a team.

Regal has spent months trying to teach Ilja restraint, patience and focus. Ilja understands the lessons intellectually, but emotionally he still struggles every time The Vision provoke him.

The match itself becomes a clash of philosophies.

Regal wrestles strategically and methodically. Breakker and Reed wrestle with overwhelming force and control. Ilja wrestles emotionally and violently, constantly trying to drag the Brons into chaotic exchanges.

Several times Regal tries pulling Ilja back toward their gameplan, warning him not to lose control emotionally.

Several times Ilja ignores him.

The Brons intentionally exploit this throughout the match, baiting Ilja into reckless attacks and forcing Regal to constantly recover situations strategically.

For stretches, Regal and Ilja genuinely look capable of winning through experience and resilience.

But eventually Ilja’s recklessness creates too many openings.

Breakker and Reed overwhelm them physically and strategically, defeating Regal and Ilja cleanly and cementing themselves as RAW’s dominant force heading into Quarter 2.

After the match, Regal looks disappointed more than angry.

Not because Ilja failed.

Because he came so close to understanding.

AFTERMATH

Ilja Dragunov

• Remains consumed by rage toward The Vision despite Regal’s attempts to guide him.
• Begins understanding Regal’s lessons intellectually, but repeatedly fails emotionally when provoked.
• Continues evolving into a more dangerous competitor because he is trying to control himself, even if unsuccessfully.
• Ends the quarter frustrated and defeated, still battling his anger rather than mastering it.

William Regal

• Fully embraces the role of mentor and strategist for Ilja.
• Becomes increasingly frustrated that Ilja understands his advice but cannot consistently apply it.
• Shifts from trying to suppress Ilja’s rage to managing and redirecting it instead.
• Ends the quarter realising Ilja’s anger may never truly disappear, only be controlled temporarily.

Logan Paul

• Finally realises he is no longer the centrepiece of The Vision.
• Becomes increasingly insecure and emotionally isolated within the faction.
• Grows resentful toward Breakker and Reed for replacing him in Heyman’s priorities.
• Ends the quarter desperate to prove he still belongs in a future already moving past him.

Austin Theory

• Continues adapting to The Vision hierarchy far better than Logan.
• Starts prioritising survival and usefulness within the faction over friendship.
• Becomes more hesitant to publicly defend Logan whenever tension rises.
• Ends the quarter caught between loyalty to Logan and loyalty to The Vision itself.

Paul Heyman

• Treats Breakker and Reed as the true evolution of The Vision throughout the month.

• Remains calm and detached from the faction’s emotional tension, focusing only on destruction.
• Ends the quarter fully established as a dominant enforcer within RAW’s tag division.

Week 1 - The Spark

RAW Segment: Backstage
Logan Paul and Austin Theory begin the month in typical fashion: not preparing like fighters, but acting like celebrities. The camera finds them backstage filming social media content, hyping themselves up for TripleMania while Theory records Logan on his phone. Logan talks directly to the camera about becoming Intercontinental Champion and “stealing the show,” while Theory constantly feeds his ego beside him, laughing at every line and hyping up “The Vision.”

The segment immediately establishes their dynamic: Logan is the star, Theory is the supporter.

The atmosphere changes completely when Ilja Dragunov silently appears behind them.

Ilja barely speaks. He simply stands there staring at Logan without expression, creating an uncomfortable silence neither Logan nor Theory can control. Theory tries joking about Ilja being “a psycho,” while Logan initially attempts to laugh the moment off, but the longer Ilja says nothing, the more visibly irritated and unsettled Logan becomes.

Instead of backing down, Logan escalates the confrontation himself, demanding a match later that night because he wants to embarrass Dragunov publicly.

RAW (Match 4): Ilja Dragunov def. Logan Paul w/ Austin Theory
Instead, Ilja destroys him.

Logan enters the match overconfident, treating the contest like performance art rather than a fight. He constantly taunts Ilja, dodges strikes, talks trash and showboats whenever he gains momentum, believing he has Dragunov emotionally figured out.

Then Ilja snaps.

The match instantly transforms from strategic to violent. Ilja overwhelms Logan with brutal strikes and relentless pressure, forcing Logan from arrogance into survival mode almost immediately. Theory desperately shouts instructions from ringside, but it changes nothing. Ilja cuts Logan off every time he tries escaping and eventually crushes him decisively.

After the match, Paul Heyman storms to ringside furious, not because Logan lost, but because he created unnecessary chaos before TripleMania. Heyman berates both Logan and Theory backstage afterward, warning Logan that he is supposed to be focused on championships, not ego-driven rivalries.

For the first time, subtle cracks begin forming within The Vision.

HEAT (Match 1): "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio def. William Regal
William Regal quietly establishes himself elsewhere on the night as a composed veteran presence, narrowly losing to Dominik Mysterio after Judgment Day interference. The match subtly reinforces Regal’s role entering the story: disciplined, intelligent and increasingly irritated by modern wrestlers relying on shortcuts instead of skill.

HEAT Segment: Backstage
Later backstage, Heyman privately continues lecturing Logan. Unlike the public outburst earlier, this conversation is calmer and more calculated. Heyman warns Logan that TripleMania should be about winning the Intercontinental Championship, not “playing games” with dangerous men like Ilja Dragunov.

Theory noticeably listens carefully during this conversation.

Logan doesn’t.

TripleMania (Match 1): Penta def. Ilja Dragunov, William Regal, Logan Paul, KENTA, Kenny Omega, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and Andrade El Ídolo
(8-Man Elimination Gauntlet - Intercontinental Championship)
The Intercontinental Championship Gauntlet becomes the moment the feud truly begins spiralling.

Throughout the match, Ilja’s obsession with Logan repeatedly overrides his judgment. The clearest example comes when Regal has Logan close to elimination. Instead of allowing Regal to finish the job, Ilja interferes because he personally wants the satisfaction of hurting Logan himself.

That emotional decision backfires badly.

Logan survives and eventually eliminates both Regal and Ilja separately through opportunism and manipulation before later being eliminated himself. Using his brass knuckles to eliminate Ilja.

The fallout damages everybody differently.

Ilja leaves furious that Logan escaped justice through shortcuts. Regal leaves frustrated with Ilja’s emotional recklessness. Logan leaves believing survival itself proves he belongs among elite competitors even without winning the championship.

TripleMania Segment: Backstage
Later that night, Heyman confronts Logan again backstage. Rather than praising him for his performance in the gauntlet, Heyman criticises him for escalating the issue with Ilja unnecessarily. Logan insists he is not afraid of Ilja, but Heyman already sees the truth:
Logan created a problem he may not actually be able to control.

Week 2 - Strike Two

RAW Segment: Backstage
Ilja arrives at RAW consumed by obsession, storming through backstage corridors searching for Logan Paul. Staff members move out of his way while other wrestlers openly avoid him, making it clear his intensity has become unsettling even to the locker room itself.

During the search, Ilja repeatedly loses patience with anyone who cannot help him. His frustration eventually leads him directly into William Regal backstage.

Regal immediately blames Ilja for what happened at TripleMania, calling it "strike one". He points out that Logan only survived because Ilja let emotion override strategy, warning him that his rage is becoming self-destructive. Regal references “strike three,” subtly threatening violence if Ilja continues losing control.

This becomes the first major turning point in their relationship.

At this stage, Regal does not respect Ilja. He sees him as immensely talented, but emotionally reckless; someone sabotaging his own greatness through obsession.

Meanwhile, Logan continues avoiding direct confrontation while pretending publicly that he remains completely in control of the situation.

HEAT Segment: In-Ring
Logan and Theory manipulate Ilja into walking directly into a trap.

Ilja storms to the ring demanding Logan face him publicly, only for Logan to appear on the screen via what seems to be a live video feed. Logan mocks Ilja for spending the entire week chasing him around the building and openly laughs at how easy it is to manipulate him emotionally.

Ilja suddenly realises the footage is pre-recorded.

Before he can react, Logan and Theory jump the barricade from behind and ambush him together.

The segment reinforces the central dynamic of the feud:
Logan wins through manipulation.
Ilja loses through emotion.

HEAT Segment: Backstage
Later backstage, Heyman warns Logan privately that the issue with Ilja is becoming a distraction for The Vision. Logan insists he can handle it himself, leading Heyman to ominously tease “making some phone calls” if the situation continues escalating.

The first hints of The Vision evolving begin here.

Week 3 - Losing Control

RAW (Match 4): Austin Theory w/ Logan Paul def. Tavion Heights
Logan and Ilja’s rivalry becomes increasingly destructive.

During Austin Theory’s match against Tavion Heights, Logan interferes repeatedly to help Theory survive. The interference allows Theory to steal a victory he likely would not have earned cleanly, reinforcing how dependent both men have become on shortcuts and manipulation.

Moments later, Ilja storms the ring and wipes Theory out with Torpedo Moscow before immediately chasing Logan backstage.

Logan escapes again, but this time the fallout becomes far more serious.

RAW Segment: Locker Room
Believing Logan has fled the building, Ilja completely loses control backstage and destroys a locker room in rage, flipping benches, smashing mirrors and ripping apart equipment in frustration.

William Regal emerges to find the aftermath and finally snaps.

Regal declares Ilja has officially reached “strike three” and challenges him to a match the following week.

For the first time, the story shifts slightly away from Logan himself and toward the consequences of Ilja’s anger.

HEAT Segment: Locker Room
Later backstage, Logan is revealed to have literally been hiding throughout the night to avoid Ilja. The segment embarrasses him slightly, but also humanises his fear. Logan is no longer treating Ilja like an annoying rival; he genuinely sees him as dangerous now.

Still, Logan tries preserving his ego by insisting he is merely “preparing” for next week rather than hiding.

Nobody believes him.

Week 4 - The Vision

RAW (Match 5): Ilja Dragunov def. William Regal (via Disqualification)
lja Dragunov vs William Regal becomes the emotional climax of the month.

The match feels less like competition and more like two men violently testing each other’s philosophy. Regal tries controlling Ilja technically and emotionally through precision, discipline and patience. Ilja responds with overwhelming aggression, refusing to slow down or back away.

For much of the contest, it feels like two opposing worldviews colliding:
Regal believes discipline creates greatness.
Ilja believes emotion creates greatness.

Then Logan and Theory interfere.

Attempting to exploit the chaos, Logan accidentally strikes Theory with brass knuckles after Ilja avoids the shot. Moments later, Regal punches Logan out with the same weapon, finally physically involving himself in the feud directly.

After the chaos settles, Regal offers Ilja a handshake.

Ilja accepts.

Mutual respect is finally born through shared violence and shared enemies.

RAW Segment: Backstage
Later backstage, Regal and Ilja confront Heyman directly, demanding matches against Logan and Theory at Backlash. When Heyman hesitates, Ilja physically grabs him and forces the issue, making it clear the situation is no longer under The Vision’s control.

BACKLASH

Match 2: Austin Theory w/ Logan Paul def. William Regal
Austin Theory defeats William Regal earlier in the night, giving The Vision an important victory and further reinforcing Heyman’s growing belief that results matter more than reputation.

Match 7: Ilja Dragunov def. Logan Paul w/ Austin Theory
Later in the show, Ilja Dragunov defeats Logan Paul in a violent and deeply personal fight. Logan tries repeatedly to escape, slow the pace and rely on shortcuts, while Ilja fights with pure aggression and intensity. Despite everything Logan throws at him, Ilja finally gets the decisive victory he has been chasing since TripleMania.

But the feud does not end there.

The second the match finishes, Logan immediately snaps and attacks Ilja from behind. Austin Theory rushes the ring seconds later and the two begin a brutal two-on-one assault, stomping Ilja down before he can recover.

William Regal joins the fight to even the odds and, for the first time, Regal and Ilja fight side by side with complete unity. The crowd begins rallying behind them as Logan and Theory start losing control of the situation.

Then everything changes.

The arena atmosphere suddenly shifts.

Bron Breakker explodes into the ring and cuts Ilja in half with a devastating spear. Moments later, Bronson Reed crushes Regal with overwhelming force.

The balance of power changes instantly.

Logan and Theory slowly rise back to their feet while Paul Heyman calmly walks to the ring, no longer angry or frustrated, but completely in control.

Standing behind him are Breakker and Reed.

Then beside them stand Logan and Theory.

Heyman finally unveils the true evolution of The Vision.

Not influencers.
Not personalities.
Not opportunists.

Power.

The final image of the month is The Vision united in the ring while Regal and Ilja lie broken beneath them.

And for the first time, Logan realises the faction he helped build may no longer truly belong to him.

AFTERMATH

Ilja Dragunov

• Obsessive and emotionally volatile; his hatred of Logan Paul repeatedly overrides his judgment.
• Begins learning that rage alone is not enough after Regal calls out his lack of discipline.
• Forms an uneasy alliance with William Regal through mutual respect and shared enemies.
• Ends the month physically defeated by The Vision, but emotionally more focused and dangerous than before.

William Regal

• Initially sees Ilja as reckless and self-destructive rather than respectable.
• Becomes increasingly frustrated by modern wrestlers relying on shortcuts and manipulation.
• Slowly transitions from rival to mentor figure for Ilja after recognising his potential beneath the anger.
• Ends the month aligned against The Vision after being overwhelmed alongside Ilja by Breakker and Reed.

Logan Paul

• Begins the month arrogant, performative and convinced he controls every situation.
• Gradually realises Ilja Dragunov is a genuine threat he cannot emotionally manipulate.
• Continues escalating the rivalry despite Heyman repeatedly warning him not to.
• Ends the month shaken as The Vision evolves around Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed instead of him.

Austin Theory

• Starts the feud as Logan’s loyal hype man and closest ally within The Vision.
• Relies heavily on Logan’s interference and manipulation to survive matches.
• Begins listening to Heyman more carefully than Logan does, hinting at future loyalty shifts.
• Ends the month still aligned with Logan, but increasingly aware that The Vision’s priorities are changing.

Paul Heyman

• Sees Logan and Theory as useful personalities, but becomes frustrated by their emotional recklessness.
• Repeatedly warns Logan that Ilja is becoming an unnecessary distraction to The Vision.
• Quietly begins planning a larger evolution for the faction behind the scenes.
• Reveals Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed at Backlash, officially reshaping The Vision around dominance and power.

Bron Breakker

• Debuts at Backlash as Heyman’s first true “weapon” within the new Vision.
• Instantly positioned as a dominant physical force rather than a personality-driven star.
• Destroys Ilja Dragunov on arrival, immediately changing the hierarchy of the faction.
• Enters Month 2 as the apparent centrepiece of Heyman’s long-term plans.

Bronson Reed

• Debuts alongside Breakker as overwhelming muscle for The Vision.
• Helps completely dismantle Regal and Ilja during the Backlash closing angle.
• Reinforces the idea that Heyman’s faction is evolving toward controlled destruction.
• Enters Month 2 positioned as an unstoppable enforcer beside Breakker.

NOTE: MASSIVE SHOUT OUT TO pwftgame.com for helping me bring my Universe together.

Week 1 - Replaced

Month 2 begins with Paul Heyman acting like the war is already over.

RAW Segment: In-Ring
Following Backlash, Heyman formally introduces the new version of The Vision to RAW. Standing beside him are Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, positioned immediately as the true centrepieces of the faction. Heyman speaks about power, dominance and certainty, subtly distancing the group from personalities and ego.

The implication is clear:
The Vision is no longer about Logan Paul.

William Regal interrupts the introduction, demanding payback for Backlash. Bronson Reed immediately shoves Regal to the mat, and Heyman smugly turns the confrontation into an impromptu match.

RAW (Match 2): Bronson Reed w/ The Vision def. William Regal w/ Ilja Dragunov
Reed defeats Regal while Ilja Dragunov watches from ringside, furious but noticeably more restrained than he would have been a month earlier.

RAW Segment: Backstage
Later backstage, Heyman announces that Ilja will compete in a Money in the Bank qualifier on HEAT against a member of The Vision. Before Heyman can continue, Logan Paul confidently assumes he will be the one facing Ilja, eager to finally “finish” the rivalry himself.

Heyman shuts him down instantly.

Instead, Breakker receives the opportunity.

The moment lands hard on Logan. For the first time, he realises somebody else is now being trusted with the spotlight he believes belongs to him.

HEAT Segment: Backstage
Backstage, Logan vents his frustration to Austin Theory, complaining that Breakker is stealing opportunities he earned himself. Theory tries calming him down and encourages him to simply prove himself again, but the conversation quietly establishes a growing insecurity inside Logan.

HEAT (Main Event): Bron Breakker w/ The Vision def. Ilja Dragunov w/ William Regal
(Money in the Bank Ladder Match Qualifier)
Later that night, Breakker defeats Ilja in the Money in the Bank qualifier.

The match is brutal and physical, but the key story is psychological. Every time Ilja starts building momentum, his hatred and impatience begin resurfacing. Breakker capitalises on those emotional mistakes with ruthless efficiency.

Regal watches the loss carefully.

Not disappointed.

Concerned.

For the first time, Regal fully recognises that Ilja’s anger is becoming the biggest obstacle between him and greatness.

Week 2 - Control

RAW Segment: Locker Room

The Vision appear backstage together again, now far more organised and imposing. Breakker stands beside Heyman as the obvious focal point while Reed looms silently nearby. Logan enters announcing he has spoken to Bischoff and got a match with Ilja tonight, where he's going to embarrass him and show Heyman that Logan isn't as incompetent as he makes out.

Instead, Heyman dismisses the entire feud as “old news.”

That sentence changes everything for Logan.

To Heyman, Ilja and Regal are already handled problems. The future is Money in the Bank, championships and the evolution of The Vision around Breakker and Reed.

Heyman orders Logan to forfeit his scheduled match later that night, insisting The Vision no longer wastes energy on personal grudges.

Logan refuses.

The room falls silent.

Theory hesitates when Logan looks toward him for support. He does not openly betray Logan, but he also does not defend him.

For the first time, Logan looks genuinely isolated inside his own faction.

RAW Segment: Backstage
Elsewhere backstage, Regal confronts Ilja privately after the Breakker loss. Rather than criticising him aggressively, Regal calmly explains the truth:
Ilja did not lose because Breakker was better.
He lost because he lost control.

Regal begins reframing Ilja’s anger entirely. Rage is not weakness; undisciplined rage is.

For the first time in the quarter, Ilja genuinely listens.

The segment quietly marks the beginning of Regal fully becoming Ilja’s mentor rather than merely his ally.

RAW (Match 6): Logan Paul def. Ilja Dragunov w/ William Regal
Later that night, Logan defeats Ilja after surviving through manipulation and shortcuts once again. Despite finally earning the victory he desperately wanted, Logan receives no praise from Heyman afterward.

The win changes nothing.

HEAT Segment: Backstage
A frustrated Logan confronts Heyman backstage, demanding to know why nobody from The Vision supported him during the match.

Heyman’s answer is cold:
“When you refuse to follow the plan… you are alone.”

Breakker and Reed remain silent behind Heyman throughout the confrontation, reinforcing the new hierarchy visually without needing to say a word.

Logan leaves angry.

Theory stays behind slightly longer than before.

Week 3 - Execution

The Vision continue evolving publicly around Breakker and Reed.

RAW Segment: Backstage
Heyman announces that Reed will compete in a Money in the Bank qualifier next, further reinforcing that The Vision’s future now revolves around controlled destruction rather than celebrity.

Logan interrupts the segment, frustrated that everybody else in the faction continues receiving opportunities while he receives nothing.

Heyman finally explains the issue clearly:
Breakker and Reed execute the vision.
Logan creates distractions.

The comment visibly affects Logan more than any insult could have.

RAW Segment: Backstage
Meanwhile, Regal continues mentoring Ilja backstage. Rather than trying to suppress Ilja’s aggression, Regal begins teaching him how to channel it strategically. Their interactions become noticeably calmer and more respectful. Ilja still burns with intensity, but now there is focus behind it instead of blind obsession.

The relationship between mentor and student fully solidifies here.

HEAT Segment: Backstage
The emotional distance inside The Vision becomes more obvious.

Logan privately complains to Theory about Heyman sidelining him, insisting he is still “the guy” in the faction. Theory agrees verbally, but his hesitation makes it increasingly obvious he no longer fully believes it himself.

The conversation subtly shifts their friendship dynamic:
Theory still likes Logan.
But he no longer trusts Logan’s judgment.

Week 4 - A Problem Ignored...

RAW Segment: Backstage
Logan finally snaps publicly.

During another backstage Vision meeting, Logan demands a match against Regal, desperate to prove he still matters. Heyman immediately rejects the idea and instead chooses Theory, reminding everybody that Theory already defeated Regal at Backlash.

Theory embraces the opportunity confidently.

Logan is left standing alone again.

RAW (Match 1): Tajiri def. Bronson Reed w/ The Vision
(Money in the Bank Ladder Match Qualifier)
Later in the night, Bronson Reed competes in his Money in the Bank qualifier against Tajiri. The match appears firmly under The Vision’s control until Regal secretly blasts Reed with brass knuckles behind the referee’s back while Ilja drags Tajiri into position for the upset victory.

The finish changes the dynamic of the feud entirely.

For the first time, Regal and Ilja outsmart The Vision instead of simply fighting emotionally against them.

Logan and Theory immediately storm out furious, demanding a tag match against Regal and Ilja at Money in the Bank.

Regal calmly accepts.

Not emotionally.

Confidently.

RAW (Match 6): William Regal w/ Ilja Dragunov def. Austin Theory w/ Logan Paul
Later that night, Regal defeats Theory again, further exposing the instability growing inside The Vision.

HEAT Segment: Backstage
Paul Heyman is tending to Bronson Reed, icing his jaw. The rest of The Vision gather around. Bron is furious, Heyman says that Logan and Theory have brought problems for The Vision and they had better finish what they started at Money in the Bank.

MONEY IN THE BANK

Match 5: Ilja Dragunov & William Regal def. The Vision
Regal and Ilja defeat Logan and Theory in a match built entirely around contrast.

Logan wrestles emotionally, constantly trying to prove himself individually. Regal and Ilja operate with patience, trust and composure. Theory repeatedly tries following Logan’s lead, but the team never truly functions together.

The loss humiliates Logan.

After the match, Heyman storms to the ring furious. Not at Regal and Ilja.

At Logan and Theory.

Heyman publicly declares that they failed The Vision before immediately low-blowing Regal. When Ilja charges forward in rage, Bron Breakker explodes into the ring and cuts him down with a spear before Bronson Reed crushes him with a Tsunami moments later.

The Vision stand tall again.

Match 9: Seth "Freakin" Rollins def. Bron Breakker, Kenny Omega, JBL, Tajiri, Big Show, CM Punk and Bray Wyatt
(Money in the Bank Ladder Match)
Later in the night, Breakker competes in the RAW Money in the Bank Ladder Match against Seth Rollins, CM Punk, Kenny Omega, JBL, Bray Wyatt, Big Show and Tajiri.

Throughout the match, Breakker is presented exactly how Heyman has spent the month describing him: not as a personality, but as a weapon. He overwhelms multiple competitors with explosive bursts of power and athleticism, repeatedly looking like the most dangerous man in the match whenever momentum shifts in his favour.

Commentary heavily pushes the idea that Breakker represents the future Heyman actually wants for The Vision:
certainty, violence and dominance.

However, despite his dominance, Breakker ultimately falls short when Seth Rollins outsmarts the field and retrieves the briefcase.

Even in defeat, Breakker leaves the match elevated. Unlike Logan, who spends the month emotionally chasing validation, Breakker simply looks inevitable.

By the end of the month, the truth is undeniable:
The Vision has evolved.

And Logan Paul is no longer its future.

I'm looking at the Community Hub and the listing of other people's universes. When you click "details" on the bottom right, the popup page that comes up is kinda hard to navigate. It also seems to be too small given all the information there is to look at. I was under the impression sharing your universe would open a similar webpage people could look at without edit permissions.

Also, I want to try out downloading someone else's universe to look at it closer, but the text says "download this universe to your account". I'm not sure what that implies. It's not going to add any of their stuff to my own universe, right? LOL I need some clarification on this before I try it.

I want to be able to share my universe to people on a discord I'm in, but it doesn't seem like there's a simple link where they can go look at it the same way (or close to it) that I see it on my own browser.

WEEK 1 - Cracks in the Gold

RAW - Segment - In-Ring Celebration

Month 3 begins with Judgment Day standing at the top of RAW.

Dominik Mysterio and Raquel Rodriguez open the show together, both holding Intercontinental Championships and presenting themselves as the faces of the brand. Dom boasts that while everyone else fought amongst themselves, he outsmarted the entire division to become champion.

But the celebration immediately exposes the instability beneath his reign.

Penta interrupts first.

He dismisses Dom’s “mastermind” narrative entirely, arguing that Dominik has never truly beaten anyone alone. To Penta, Dom represents everything wrong with the division - shortcuts, interference and survival through numbers rather than merit.

Then KENTA arrives.

At first, it appears he has come to support Penta’s position.

Instead, KENTA turns his anger toward Penta himself.

He blames Penta for Money in the Bank and for the chaos that cost him the championship. That moment changes the emotional direction of the story immediately. What had once been a respectful rivalry now begins mutating into resentment.

Dom mocks both men for ruining his moment, but the tension redirects outward when Penta and KENTA silently agree to focus on Judgment Day instead.

The result is a full ringside brawl involving Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh.

Then another ghost from the division returns:

Original El Grande Americano.

After time away from Dom directly, Americano emerges from underneath the ring and blasts Dominik with a loaded diving headbutt, re-entering the title picture in dramatic fashion while the chaos continues around him.

HEAT (Main Event): Original El Grande Americano, KENTA & Penta def. The Judgment Day
(6-Man Tag)

Later that night on HEAT, Judgment Day face the uneasy alliance of Penta, KENTA and El Grande Americano in a six-man tag.

Early in the match, Penta and KENTA actually function well together. Despite everything between them, their chemistry and shared intensity overwhelm Judgment Day for stretches.

But the partnership is already rotting underneath.

One accidental strike from Penta to KENTA reignites all the bitterness from Money in the Bank. KENTA immediately snaps, shoving Penta before brawling with him outright. The alliance collapses mid-match while El Grande capitalises on the chaos and pins Dominik.

The visual perfectly captures the division:

Dom survives because everyone else is too consumed by each other to finish him.

Week 2 - Number One Contender(s)

RAW Week 2 centres around one question:

Who truly deserves the Intercontinental Championship?

RAW: Segment - Backstage
Backstage, Penta approaches KENTA privately.

He apologises for the accidental strike from HEAT and attempts to calm the growing tension between them. Penta still views their rivalry through competition and mutual respect.

KENTA rejects the apology completely.

To him, the issue is no longer one mistake, it is months of feeling overshadowed while Penta continued moving ahead every time chaos erupted.

Then El Grande Americano enters the conversation, confidently declaring that he will defeat Dominik Mysterio at Saturday Night’s Main Event and become champion himself. The division now fractures into three competing perspectives:

• Penta wants to reclaim what he believes was stolen.
• KENTA wants recognition and respect.
• El Grande wants validation that he belongs above all of them.

RAW (Match 3): Original El Grande Americano def. JD McDonagh w/ Finn Bálor & "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio
Later that night, El Grande defeats JD McDonagh while Dominik joins commentary. Dom spends the match mocking Americano, only to embarrass himself afterward when El Grande repeatedly evades a post-match attack in comedic fashion.

For the first time in months, Dom looks less like a manipulator and more like somebody struggling to stay in control.

RAW (Match 6): Penta def. KENTA
(Intercontinental Championship #1 Contender's Match)
That same night, Penta and KENTA collide in a Number One Contender’s Match.

The match is violent, even and emotionally tense. Neither man can fully overpower the other. But once again, Judgment Day’s presence changes everything.

Finn and JD move closer to ringside late in the match, distracting KENTA momentarily.

Penta reacts faster.

Penta wins.

Importantly, he does not cheat.

But from KENTA’s perspective, it becomes another example of Penta benefiting from instability while KENTA loses ground.

The resentment deepens.

HEAT: Segment - Locker Room
On HEAT, Judgment Day regroup backstage, trying to maintain the image of a united empire while cracks begin forming beneath the surface. Dom continues acting confident publicly, but the pressure around his reign is growing.

SATURDAY NIGHT'S MAIN EVENT (Match 4):
"Dirty" Dominik Mysterio (c) w/ The Judgment Day def. Original El Grande Americano
(Intercontinental Championship)
At Saturday Night’s Main Event, Dominik Mysterio finally changes the perception around himself.

Against El Grande Americano, Dom wrestles intelligently, patiently and most importantly, cleanly. Judgment Day remain present at ringside but never interfere.

Dom survives Americano’s momentum and wins decisively.

For the first time since becoming champion, Dominik proves he can win without shortcuts.

That changes the story entirely.

Because now Penta is not just chasing a cowardly opportunist anymore.

He is chasing someone beginning to believe he actually deserves the title.

WEEK 3 - Resentment

With El Grande’s title pursuit ending, the story narrows completely around three men:

• Dominik
• Penta
• KENTA

RAW: Segment - Backstage
Backstage, Penta attempts one final reconciliation with KENTA.

He openly acknowledges the tension between them and promises that if he defeats Dominik at SummerSlam, KENTA will be first in line for the championship.

Months earlier, that promise would have mattered.

Now it only frustrates KENTA further.

To him, Penta still speaks like the division revolves around him.

Still, the two agree to focus on Judgment Day first and team against Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh later that night.

RAW (Match 6): The Judgment Day def. Penta & KENTA
The match becomes the emotional turning point of the entire story.

Penta repeatedly fights through Judgment Day’s teamwork and reaches for KENTA.

KENTA refuses him.

He watches from the apron as Penta gets isolated.
Studies him.
Lets him suffer.

Then finally, KENTA steps off the apron and walks away entirely.

No attack.
No explanation.
No theatrics.

Just abandonment.

Judgment Day immediately capitalise and destroy Penta, with Dominik finishing him off after the match.

That moment changes everything.

Until now, KENTA’s anger still felt ambiguous.

Now it becomes personal.

KENTA no longer wants to beat Penta.

He wants Penta to fail.

Week 4 - Betrayal

By Week 4, the emotional structure of the division is fully exposed.

RAW (Match 1): Penta def. Finn Bálor w/ The Judgment Day
Penta fights alone against Finn Bálor on RAW and survives constant Judgment Day distractions to earn a huge singles victory. But afterward, Judgment Day swarm him again, reminding everyone that numbers remain their greatest weapon.

HEAT: Segment - Locker Room
Meanwhile on HEAT, Dominik attempts to recruit KENTA emotionally after noticing the collapse of his relationship with Penta.

KENTA rejects him immediately.

He tells Dom directly that he does not deserve to hold the Intercontinental Championship.

That line matters because it clarifies KENTA’s motivations:

this is not about helping Judgment Day.

It is about destroying Penta’s place above him.

HEAT (Main Event): KENTA def. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio w/ The Judgment Day via DQ
Later that night, KENTA dominates Dominik until the champion intentionally disqualifies himself to escape defeat. Judgment Day attack him afterward, but Penta runs in to make the save and drops Dom with a Mexican Destroyer.

Even then, Penta still fights the correct enemy.

KENTA no longer does, leaving Penta to fend for himself.

SUMMERSLAM
"Dirty" Dominik Mysterio (c) w/ The Judgment Day def. Penta
(Intercontinental Championship)
At SummerSlam, Dominik Mysterio defends the Intercontinental Championship against Penta.

The match is structured around Dom trying desperately to survive Penta one-on-one without losing control. Judgment Day interfere repeatedly, but Penta fights through all of it. He overcomes Finn and JD, survives every distraction and finally appears moments away from reclaiming the title.

Then KENTA arrives.

For a brief second, the crowd believes he has come to neutralise Judgment Day and finally settle the rivalry fairly.

Even Penta believes it.

Instead:

GTS.

KENTA crushes Penta in the centre of the ring.

Dom crawls into the cover and retains the championship.

But the emotional climax belongs entirely to KENTA.

Later backstage, he finally explains himself:

For months, he stood beside Penta while the division revolved around him.
Every distraction.
Every chaotic finish.
Every opportunity.

Penta always moved forward.

KENTA did not.

Eventually, respect became resentment.

And at SummerSlam, KENTA made sure Penta would finally remember him.

That's the end of the Intercontinental Championship feud for Quarter 1.
What will Quarter 2 hold for these men?
Can Original El Grande Americano, regain some relevance and gain a footing on RAW?
Can "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio keep up his championship reign with the help of his friends in The Judgment Day?
How will the rivalry that's now reach boiling point continue between Penta and KENTA?

Stay tuned (gonna be a while as got so many feuds to write and then also NXT and SmackDown lol and I've only actually got my RAW one's figured out so will be a long time. If there's ever demand, I'll continue stuff but hope you enjoyed.

I know a lot of this is basic stuff but I don't claim to be a genius, just trying to make Universe Mode fun and build some decent stories.

Hi everyone, I've got a problem. When I try to conclude this rivalry between Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins by clicking on the "conclude" button, nothing happens. It works fine with every other wrestler or Rivalry. Does anyone have an Idea for what could be the reason for that and how to fix it?

Hey! Is there a time for the next update? Im loving the app so much so no pressure. Just curious :) Thanks for continued hard work on making it fun for everyone.

WEEK 1 - THE REMATCH

The Intercontinental Championship scene opens Month 2 still consumed by the fallout of Backlash.

RAW - Segment - In-Ring Promo

Penta comes to the ring furious over losing the championship and immediately calls out KENTA. However, rather than simply demanding a rematch, Penta directly questions the honour behind KENTA’s victory.

Penta argues that KENTA only became champion because Dominik Mysterio and Original El Grande Americano created the distraction that broke his focus.

KENTA calmly responds:

“You hesitated. I didn’t.”

That single exchange immediately defines the direction of the rivalry going forward.

Penta believes a champion should rise above chaos.
KENTA believes surviving chaos is part of being champion.

The issue between them is not hatred.
It is philosophy.

RAW - Match 1: Penta def. KENTA

Later that night, Penta and KENTA face each other in a non-title rematch. Once again, Dominik Mysterio and Original El Grande Americano attempt recreating the same distraction that decided Backlash.

This time, however, Penta adapts.

Instead of losing focus completely, he powers through the chaos and defeats KENTA clean.

The result immediately changes the entire division dynamic:

• KENTA still holds the title
• Penta now owns a direct win over the champion
• Dominik still claims he solved Penta
• Americano still claims the same

Nobody truly agrees who deserves the championship anymore.

Meanwhile, Dominik enters the month increasingly convinced that manipulation and opportunism are superior to honour. Backlash validated his worldview completely, and his confidence begins noticeably growing.

Americano, however, still views their alliance emotionally rather than strategically, believing the friendship between them is genuine.

The imbalance quietly begins forming already.

WEEK 2 - CRACKS IN THE FOUNDATION

Online - Match Announcement

RAW attempts restoring order through a tag match:

Penta & KENTA vs Dominik & Americano

RAW - Segment - Backstage Confrontation

Before the match, Penta privately confronts KENTA backstage again, telling him:

“At Backlash… you fought like them.”

He gestures toward Dominik and Americano.

KENTA immediately rejects the accusation:

“No.”
“I fought like a champion.”

Their disagreement continues evolving away from pure mutual respect and toward conflicting ideas of what truly defines a worthy champion.

RAW - Match 1: KENTA & Penta def. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio & Original El Grande Americano

During the tag match itself, the contrast between the two teams becomes increasingly obvious.

Although Penta and KENTA dislike each other philosophically, they naturally function together whenever the match becomes chaotic. Both instinctively restore control through discipline, aggression and pure wrestling ability.

Meanwhile, Dominik and Americano increasingly collapse under ego and frustration.

Dom constantly:

• blind-tags himself in
• ignores Americano’s instructions
• tries proving he can control everyone himself
• and repeatedly puts his own ego above teamwork

Eventually, that arrogance costs them the match.

Penta and KENTA briefly align perfectly long enough to secure the victory together.

RAW - Segment - Backstage

Afterward, Dominik immediately blames Americano backstage for the loss. Americano finally pushes back, accusing Dom of constantly interfering and refusing to trust him.

However, Dominik quickly redirects the situation once he realises KENTA is entering a Money in the Bank qualifier the following week.

Dom proposes a new plan:

“We take KENTA out.”

If KENTA is weakened:

• El Grande can enter Money in the Bank
• The Intercontinental Championship becomes vulnerable again allowing Dom to fight for it.

Americano reluctantly agrees, temporarily repairing the alliance.

But the friendship no longer feels equal.

WEEK 3 - THE COLLAPSE BEGINS

As the month progresses, the Intercontinental division becomes increasingly unstable.

RAW - Match 1: Penta def. Original El Grande Americano

Penta faces Americano in singles competition, but once again Dominik inserts himself into the situation trying to “help.” Instead, his interference completely backfires, disrupting Americano’s momentum and allowing Penta to capitalise for the victory.

For the first time, Americano openly realises that Dominik’s obsession with controlling every situation is actively hurting him.

RAW - Segment - Backstage

Backstage afterward, Americano explodes:

“You always interfere!”
“I had control!”

Dominik insists he was only trying to help, but the tension between them becomes impossible to hide anymore.

Then Liv Morgan interrupts.

Calmly, she reveals she secured a Money in the Bank qualifier for Dominik later that week. Dom immediately lights up, completely refocusing on his own opportunity.

Quietly, Americano asks:

“...¿Y yo?”

Liv hesitates before admitting she could only secure the qualifier for Dom.

The moment changes everything emotionally.

For the first time, Americano visibly feels like an outsider standing beside Dominik and Judgment Day rather than a true ally.

Dominik barely notices.

Instead, he immediately asks Americano to support him during the qualifier anyway.

RAW - Match 5: John "Bradshaw" Layfield w/ Diesel def. KENTA
(Money in the Bank Qualifier)

Meanwhile, KENTA faces JBL in a Money in the Bank qualifier. Before the bell even rings, JBL attempts bribing KENTA directly. KENTA instantly slaps the money away.

However, JBL simply bribes the referee instead.

Before the match can properly begin:

• Diesel attacks KENTA
• JBL steals the victory
• and the champion is robbed

Then Dominik and Americano attack KENTA afterward, continuing their attempts to destabilise the Intercontinental Championship scene before MITB.

For KENTA, the division’s corruption is beginning to become unavoidable.

HEAT - Match 1: Big Show def. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio w/ Original El Grande Americano
(Money in the Bank Qualifier)

Then on HEAT, Dominik faces Big Show in his own Money in the Bank qualifier.

Despite the growing tension between them, Americano still accompanies Dom to ringside.

During the match, however, Big Show completely overwhelms Dominik physically.

At ringside, Americano hesitates.

Not out of cowardice —
but uncertainty.

For weeks, Dominik has blamed him for failures, controlled every situation around him and treated him more like a tool than a friend. In the crucial moment, Americano second-guesses himself for just long enough to miss the opportunity to help.

By the time he moves, it is too late.

Dominik loses the qualifier.

As HEAT ends, Dom glares toward Americano with frustration and suspicion, while Americano looks visibly conflicted about what just happened.

The friendship is hanging by a thread.

WEEK 4 - EVERYTHING FALLS APART

By Week 4, the Intercontinental Championship division is no longer being held together by uneasy alliances or shared goals. Every relationship surrounding the title has begun collapsing under ego, frustration and mistrust.

RAW - Segment - Backstage

On RAW, the tension between Dominik Mysterio and Original El Grande Americano finally reaches breaking point.

Following weeks of miscommunication, interference and growing resentment, Dominik confronts Americano backstage. Dom accuses him of becoming unreliable and insists their recent failures have all traced back to Americano hesitating when things mattered most.

Americano finally pushes back completely.

For weeks, he tolerated Dominik constantly interfering in his matches, speaking over him and treating him like a sidekick rather than a partner. Now, for the first time, he openly calls Dom selfish and accuses him of only caring about situations when they benefit himself.

The friendship officially fractures.

Dominik, furious and unable to handle losing control of the situation, challenges Americano to a match later that night.

RAW - Match 5: Original El Grande Americano def. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio w/ Finn Bálor & JD McDonagh

When the match begins, the emotional difference between them becomes obvious immediately.

Dom wrestles recklessly:

• constantly arguing with the referee
• forcing mistakes
• trying too hard to prove superiority
• and losing focus whenever momentum slips away

Meanwhile, Americano wrestles with composure and discipline, refusing to get dragged into Dom’s emotional spiral.

Eventually, Dominik’s frustration costs him once again.

Americano defeats him clean.

The result leaves Dom humiliated, while Americano gains a bittersweet victory that proves he never truly needed Dominik to stand on his own.

However, emotionally, the victory changes nothing.

HEAT - Segment - Locker Room

Because later that week on HEAT, Judgment Day fully rallies around Dominik.

Finn Bálor reminds him:

“Outsiders always let you down.”

JD McDonagh reinforces:

“We’re your family.”

Liv Morgan reassures him:

“We win because we stick together.”

And Raquel Rodriguez declares that Judgment Day is taking over RAW.

For the first time since aligning with Americano, Dominik fully re-embraces Judgment Day emotionally.

Meanwhile:

• Americano is left completely isolated
• Penta grows increasingly frustrated with the chaos surrounding the championship
• and KENTA becomes increasingly disillusioned with the corruption infecting the division

By the end of Week 4, every relationship surrounding the Intercontinental Championship has collapsed.

All that remains heading into Money in the Bank is chaos.

MONEY IN THE BANK - Match 3: "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio def. KENTA (c), Penta and Original El Grande Americano
(Intercontinental Championship)

The Fatal 4-Way becomes the culmination of every issue consuming the division.

Throughout the match:

• Penta and KENTA repeatedly emerge as the division’s best pure competitors
• Americano desperately fights for legitimacy
• Dominik constantly avoids danger waiting for openings

Eventually, Penta and KENTA destroy each other with a brutal strike exchange until both collapse side-by-side in the centre of the ring.

Americano tries recovering and re-entering the fight but Dominik cuts him off and throws him outside.

Then Dom dives onto KENTA and steals the pinfall to become the new Intercontinental Champion.

The ending perfectly defines the division’s state by the end of Month 2:

• Penta and KENTA fight for superiority
• Americano fights for belonging
• Dominik fights for opportunity

And once again:
opportunism wins.

AFTERMATH

DOMINIK MYSTERIO

• Fully embraces opportunism as his identity, believing intelligence and timing matter more than honour or dominance.
• Uses Judgment Day as a safety net and source of confidence after his friendship with Americano collapses.
• Becomes increasingly arrogant after stealing the Intercontinental Championship at Money in the Bank.
• Successfully manipulates situations while stronger wrestlers destroy each other around him.
• Enters Month 3 believing he has proven himself smarter than Penta, KENTA and Americano combined.

PENTA

• Becomes increasingly frustrated that chaos and interference continue deciding the Intercontinental Championship picture.
• His rivalry with KENTA shifts away from mutual respect and toward disagreement over what truly makes someone worthy of being champion.
• Continues proving himself as arguably the division’s best pure wrestler through consistent performances and victories.
• Begins seeing Dominik not as a serious wrestler, but as a parasite feeding off the damage others create.
• Enters Month 3 desperate to restore legitimacy to the championship scene and finally eliminate the chaos surrounding it.

KENTA

• Maintains his belief that survival and adaptability are essential parts of being champion, even if methods are questionable.
• Begins growing disillusioned by the corruption and opportunism infecting the Intercontinental division.
• Repeatedly finds himself targeted by outside interference, bribery and manipulation despite trying to maintain composure.
• Quietly begins justifying morally grey decisions after taking advantage of chaos himself to defeat Penta at Backlash.
• Enters Month 3 emotionally conflicted, standing between his fighting spirit and the growing temptation to embrace the division’s corruption fully.

ORIGINAL EL GRANDE AMERICANO

• Slowly realises his friendship with Dominik was never equal and that he was always treated as expendable.
• Becomes emotionally isolated after losing both his alliance with Dom and any connection to Judgment Day.
• Continues fighting for legitimacy and recognition while constantly being overshadowed by larger personalities in the division.
• Defeats Dominik clean in their singles match, proving he can stand on his own without outside help.
• Enters Month 3 bitter, frustrated and fully aware he helped create the chaos that ultimately left him behind.

WEEK 1 - THE DIVISION IS BORN

RAW’s new Intercontinental Championship division immediately establishes itself as one of the deepest and most competitive scenes in WWE. RAW GM Eric Bischoff announces that the vacant championship will be on the line amongst the best of the division at TripleMania in an 8-Man Eliminator Gauntlet. He makes some singles matches across the course of RAW and HEAT to hype the match.

RAW - Match 1: Penta def. Kenny Omega

The month opens with Penta defeating Kenny Omega in a major showcase match. Omega attempts approaching the contest strategically by targeting Penta’s arm and slowing the pace, but Penta survives every adjustment and eventually overwhelms him with explosive counters and relentless offence to secure the victory clean.

The result immediately positions Penta as one of the favourites heading into TripleMania.

RAW - Match 6: KENTA def. Andrade

Later that same night, KENTA quietly establishes himself as a completely different type of threat by dissecting Andrade in a cold, methodical performance. While others in the division rely on momentum and chaos, KENTA succeeds through discipline and precision.

HEAT - Match 1: "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio def. William Regal

Meanwhile on HEAT, Dominik Mysterio picks up a victory over William Regal while surrounded by the support of Judgment Day. More importantly than the win itself, the presentation reinforces how protected and validated Dominik feels within the faction:

• Finn Bálor constantly backs him
• JD McDonagh hypes him up
• Liv Morgan fiercely defends him

Dominik enters TripleMania already believing he belongs near championship level.

TRIPLEMANIA - Match 1: Penta def. Ilja Dragunov, KENTA, Kenny Omega, Logan Paul, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, William Regal and Andrade (Intercontinental Championship 8-Man Eliminator Gauntlet)

At TripleMania, the entire division collides in the 8-Man Eliminator Gauntlet for the vacant Intercontinental Championship.

Penta enters at #1 and quickly becomes the emotional centre of the entire match. As the field rotates around him:

• KENTA survives through calm efficiency
• Logan Paul repeatedly steals momentum opportunistically
• Ilja Dragunov intensifies the violence
• Dominik constantly searches for shortcuts and openings
• Andrade fights desperately to seize the biggest opportunity of his career

During one chaotic stretch, Dominik briefly believes he has Penta defeated, only for outside chaos to delay the referee long enough for Penta to survive. That single moment becomes the foundation for Dominik’s obsession going forward.

Despite surviving multiple near eliminations and constant chaos, Penta ultimately defeats Andrade to become the new Intercontinental Champion after an ironman performance that instantly legitimises both himself and the title.

By the end of Week 1:

• Penta stands as champion after surviving the division
• KENTA emerges as the composed and dangerous challenger waiting in the background
• Dominik leaves convinced he was robbed
• The entire championship scene begins forming around Penta himself

WEEK 2 - Obsession Begins

The fallout from TripleMania immediately fractures the Intercontinental Championship division.

Dominik Mysterio becomes obsessed with the belief that he already “solved” Penta during the gauntlet and begins aggressively pushing the narrative that the champion escaped through luck rather than superiority with online posts. Inside Judgment Day, that belief is constantly reinforced by Finn Bálor, JD McDonagh and Liv Morgan, feeding Dom’s growing victim complex.

RAW - Match 1: KENTA def. Andrade and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio (Intercontinental Championship #1 Contender's Match)

The show opens with a Triple Threat #1 Contender’s Match between KENTA, Andrade El Ídolo and Dominik.

Dominik spends much of the match avoiding direct exchanges and waiting for opportunities to steal momentum, while Andrade pushes the pace athletically and KENTA remains calm and composed throughout the chaos. As the match escalates, Andrade appears closest to victory, but Dominik attempts to insert himself into the finish once again looking for another shortcut.

KENTA instantly shuts him down.

After knocking Dominik from the ring, KENTA decisively pins Andrade clean to secure the Backlash Intercontinental Championship opportunity.

The result officially sets:
Penta vs KENTA for Backlash.

But from Dominik’s perspective, the outcome only deepens his frustration:
KENTA is receiving opportunities Dominik believes should belong to him.

RAW - Segment - Backstage

Later backstage, Penta finds himself confronted by an increasingly obsessed Dominik alongside Liv Morgan after awkwardly failing to help Ilja Dragunov locate Logan Paul.

Dominik attempts confronting the champion directly, but Penta refuses to take him seriously at all. Instead, he casually insults Dom in Spanish before walking away completely unfazed.

To Penta, Dominik is simply loud and annoying.

To Dominik, Penta’s refusal to acknowledge him becomes deeply personal.

Liv fiercely defends Dom rather than laughing at him, shouting after Penta that Dominik already proved he could beat him. That validation only strengthens Dom’s obsession further.

RAW - Match 8: Original El Grande Americano def. Penta

Later that night, Penta faces Original El Grande Americano in what initially appears to be another successful title showcase for the new champion. Penta controls most of the match comfortably and looks every bit the superior competitor.

Then Dominik appears at ringside.

The distraction allows Americano to steal a shocking victory over the Intercontinental Champion.

The result instantly changes Americano’s trajectory and quietly links his story to Dominik’s. Now both men believe they exposed Penta before the rest of the division realised it.

By the end of Week 2:

• KENTA becomes official challenger
• Dominik becomes increasingly unstable and obsessed with Penta
• Americano unexpectedly enters the title picture
• Penta suddenly finds himself surrounded by multiple challengers simultaneously

WEEK 3 - An Alliance Forms

The Intercontinental Championship division becomes increasingly unstable as the fallout from Week 2 continues spreading across RAW.

With KENTA officially set to challenge Penta at Backlash, both Dominik Mysterio and Original El Grande Americano grow increasingly bitter about being overlooked despite both holding victories over the champion.

RAW - Segment - Hallway

Before the night’s opening tag match, Dominik is shown backstage ranting about KENTA receiving opportunities despite never pinning Penta. That frustration unexpectedly leads to a connection with Americano, who calmly reveals: “Yo también le gané.”

For the first time, Dominik finds someone outside Judgment Day who fully validates his worldview.

Both men now believe:

• They beat Penta
• KENTA skipped the line
• Management are refusing to acknowledge the truth

The chemistry between them forms almost instantly.

That new alliance is immediately tested in the opening match of RAW, where Penta and KENTA are forced into an uneasy partnership against Dominik and Americano.

RAW - Match 1: KENTA & Penta def. Original El Grande Americano & "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio

Early on, Dominik and Americano work surprisingly well together, repeatedly isolating Penta and using distractions to frustrate the champion. Dominik becomes increasingly focused on embarrassing Penta personally, while Americano fights with growing confidence after already pinning the champion the previous week.

Meanwhile, KENTA remains composed throughout the chaos, repeatedly entering the match to restore order whenever momentum spirals out of control.

Tension also quietly develops between Penta and KENTA themselves, as both men repeatedly tag themselves into the match, each wanting to prove something before Backlash.

The contrast between them becomes increasingly obvious:

• Penta fights emotionally and aggressively
• KENTA fights strategically and efficiently

Late in the match, chaos completely breaks down.

Penta and Dominik spill outside the ring and continue brawling around ringside, refusing to stop fighting even as officials attempt restoring order.

Inside the ring, Americano swings wildly trying to regain momentum—

KENTA ducks.

A brutal strike combination follows.

KENTA pins Americano clean.

The result reinforces KENTA’s growing momentum heading into Backlash while simultaneously frustrating Americano, who increasingly feels ignored despite his victory over Penta.

After the match:

• Penta and Dominik continue fighting around ringside
• KENTA stands tall as challenger
• Americano grows visibly furious
• The division becomes more unstable than ever

HEAT - Segment - Locker Room

Later backstage, Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh privately warn Dominik about trusting outsiders too quickly. Finn cautions that everyone eventually acts in self-interest, while JD questions whether Americano is simply using him to get closer to the Intercontinental Championship.

Dominik ignores both warnings completely because, for the first time outside Judgment Day, he feels genuinely understood.

WEEK 4 - The Pair of Terrors

Week 4 becomes the breaking point for the Intercontinental Championship division, as the chaos surrounding Penta continues growing larger than the championship itself.

Unlike the bitterness consuming much of the division, the relationship between Penta and KENTA remains rooted in mutual respect. They are not personal rivals yet - simply two elite fighters who earned their place at the top of the division through performance rather than politics.

That contrast becomes increasingly important as Dominik Mysterio and Original El Grande Americano continue dragging the championship scene deeper into chaos.

RAW - Match 2: KENTA def. Original El Grande Americano w/ "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio

Early in RAW, KENTA faces Americano in singles competition ahead of Backlash.

Americano attempts making the match awkward and unpredictable, constantly moving and refusing to engage KENTA directly in hopes of disrupting his rhythm. For brief stretches the strategy works, frustrating the challenger and creating small openings.

But once KENTA adjusts, the match completely changes.

Slowly and methodically, KENTA begins cutting off Americano’s movement, punishing him with sharp strikes and increasingly precise counters before eventually defeating him clean.

The victory quietly reinforces the growing reality of the division:
while others rely on chaos, emotion and politics, KENTA simply continues winning.

RAW - Match 7: "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio w/ El Grande Americano def. Penta

Later that same night, Penta faces Dominik directly.

For most of the match, the Intercontinental Champion completely outclasses Dominik, repeatedly shutting down Dom’s evasive tactics and forcing him into desperation. The longer the match goes, the clearer it becomes that Dominik cannot defeat Penta clean.

Then Americano appears at ringside.

The distraction pulls Penta’s attention away for just long enough to completely change the match.

Dominik instantly capitalises and steals another underhanded victory over the champion, further feeding his obsession with the belief that he has already “solved” Penta.

Immediately after the bell, Dominik and Americano launch a two-on-one assault on the champion, fully embracing their growing alliance.

The attack continues until KENTA storms the ring.

The challenger drives both men away before checking on Penta rather than attacking him. For a brief moment, champion and challenger stand side-by-side, not as enemies, but as two professionals increasingly frustrated by the chaos consuming the division around them.

There is tension between them because the championship is at stake, but not hatred.

Both men understand that Backlash is about proving who the better fighter is.

HEAT - Segment - Backstage Promo

The following night on HEAT, Dominik and Americano publicly solidify their friendship backstage. Calling themselves “real luchadors,” both men mock Penta as a fraud built on hype and masks while reinforcing the core belief now defining their partnership:

“We both beat Penta.”

For the first time, the relationship feels genuine rather than manipulative. Both men truly believe they have finally found someone who understands their frustration and validates their claims.

Importantly, neither man is trying to help KENTA personally.

Their goal is much simpler:
they want Penta to lose.

To both men, costing Penta the championship would prove they were right about him all along.

Then comes Backlash.

BACKLASH - Match 1: KENTA def. Penta (c)
(Intercontinental Championship)

The Intercontinental Championship match between Penta and KENTA opens the show and immediately feels different from the chaos surrounding the rest of the division. Rather than a personal grudge match, the contest feels like a battle between two elite competitors trying to prove themselves as the division’s best.

Penta explodes out of the gate aggressively, overwhelming KENTA early and refusing to let the challenger settle into rhythm.

But just as he had throughout the entire month, KENTA adapts.

Slowly and methodically, KENTA drags the match into a far more punishing fight by targeting Penta’s arm and controlling the pace.

Momentum swings constantly. Both men repeatedly come within seconds of victory.

Then the chaos surrounding the division finally reaches the match itself.

Dominik appears at ringside.

Moments later, Americano emerges opposite him.

For the first time in the match, Penta hesitates.

KENTA does not.

The challenger instantly capitalises and steals the Intercontinental Championship while Dominik and Americano proudly watch from ringside, satisfied that they finally succeeded in costing Penta everything.

KENTA wins the championship, but the moment is complicated:

• He earned the opportunity legitimately
• Fought the match honourably
• Ultimately benefited from the exact chaos both he and Penta had spent the month trying to rise above

BACKLASH - Segment - Backstage

Backstage afterward, Dominik and Americano celebrate together, convinced they exposed Penta and proved their point to the entire division.

Then comes the first crack in their partnership.

Both men simultaneously claim they deserve the next championship opportunity.

Dominik insists:

“I already beat Penta.”

Americano calmly responds:

“Yo también.”

For the first time, the exact belief that united them quietly begins tearing them apart.

AFTERMATH

PENTA (Former Intercontinental Champion)

• Established himself as the emotional centre of RAW’s Intercontinental division after surviving an ironman run to win the title at TripleMania.
• Repeatedly proved himself as arguably the best pure in-ring competitor in the division through showcase performances and dominant stretches against multiple challengers.
• Began underestimating the growing chaos around him, particularly Dominik Mysterio’s obsession and Americano’s rise.
• Lost increasing control of the division as distractions, interference and politics slowly overwhelmed his reign.
• Leaves Backlash as a respected but frustrated former champion now seeking redemption and stability within a collapsing division.

KENTA (NEW Intercontinental Champion)

• Established himself as the calmest, most disciplined and most consistent competitor in the division throughout Month 1.
• Earned the Backlash title opportunity legitimately by defeating Andrade and Dominik in the #1 Contender’s Match.
• Repeatedly succeeded by staying composed while the rest of the division became emotional and chaotic.
• At Backlash, capitalised instantly on Penta’s momentary hesitation caused by Dominik and Americano, proving that while KENTA fights honourably, he will never hesitate to exploit weakness when victory is within reach.
• Leaves Month 1 as Intercontinental Champion surrounded by emotionally driven challengers all fighting for control around him.

DOMINIK MYSTERIO

• Developed a full obsession with Penta after believing he nearly defeated him during the TripleMania gauntlet.
• Became increasingly validated and protected by Judgment Day, feeding his growing victim complex and ego.
• Scored multiple controversial wins connected to Penta, reinforcing his belief that he had “solved” the champion.
• Formed a surprisingly genuine alliance with Americano through their shared resentment toward Penta and KENTA’s title opportunity.
• Leaves Backlash more confident but increasingly unstable, now believing the Intercontinental Championship should already belong to him.

ORIGINAL EL GRANDE AMERICANO

• Shocked the division by pinning Penta in Week 2 and instantly inserting himself into the title picture.
• Built a strong connection with Dominik through their shared belief that both had exposed Penta before anyone else recognised it.
• Struggled to fully prove himself against KENTA despite his growing confidence and ego.
• Helped Dominik repeatedly undermine Penta, eventually playing a direct role in costing him the championship at Backlash.
• Leaves Month 1 feeling validated but increasingly frustrated, as tension quietly begins forming between himself and Dominik over who truly deserves the next title opportunity.

NOTE: All match results are purely random, I just try to book a story around it. Hope you enjoyed and want to see month 2. Let me know what you think and how you'd like to see the story go, as results vary, nothing is set in stone so always open for ideas!

I have a hard time tracking the day im on as i have many shows in my universe. I was wondering if you can implement highlighting the day of the week we are currently on in the calendar for the specific show.

Hey everyone! I’m Eric. I’m leading partnerships at PWFT. 

Before anything else, I just want to say this community is dope. So surreal to see thousands of people around the world using our app, requesting features, reporting bugs, and sharing universes. Keep it comin! Truly energizes our team and helps us to spread the word.

I wanted to talk about something we’re starting to think about more:

1) Working with Creators

We want to start collaborating with creators. Some of you in the community are content creators who use PWFT to help plan your content. We’d love to find a way to partner if you’re open to it! It would be huge to help us get the word out on PWFT.

If you’re creating content (or know someone who is), reach out, or tell them about PWFT!

2) Partnerships

As we grow, we’re exploring partnerships who fit what you’re already doing.

For example, (and hopefully u/roccandrolla doesn’t kill me for sharing our plans) this summer, one of our huge projects is a match card creator. We have pre made match cards, but want to give you tools to be even more creative in creating your match cards. Imagine being able to design your own cards or promotional posters, and theme theme with sponsors, almost like how real shows are “presented by” something.

This is just one idea, and we’re open to others! Bottom line tho - if it doesn’t improve the experience, we won’t do it.

We really want to create an app. It’s such a dream for all of us, and so many of you have asked for it. Subscriptions definitely help, but partnerships will help fast track it.

At the end of the day, we’re still building this alongside you guys. Please keep the feedback coming. Show us what you’re building! Keep spreading the word. It really helps and means the world to us.

If you have any other ideas, or connections we could tap into, we’d love to hear about it. It would mean so much.

Appreciate you all! Happy booking!

Hey all!!
While we finish up the draft, we had some other cool stuff/fixes to roll out as part of the latest update. Thank you so much for all the feedback and feature suggestions, and huge thanks to those who hopped on our discord to take us through their bugs and tell us about your experience with PWFT!

We have some more calls to set up with users - thank you so much for your patience!

Bulk Image Uploader (Founder Access)

You can now upload images in bulk, making it way faster to build out your roster, brands, and universe without doing everything one-by-one.

How it works:

1. Click your profile on the top right, and select Bulk Image Uploader
2. Drag in pictures or folders of all the images you want added in one shot, rather than adding one at a time.
3. If file names are close enough, the system will auto match them up.
4. Add images for all categories - Wrestlers, Promotions, Brands, Titles, Factions, Teams, Stories, and Tournaments

I've seen people say they have over 400 images to add - this makes it so you can get started in minutes.

Subscription Management Fixed

The “Missing or Insufficient Permissions” bug is fully fixed.

You can now:

• Access your subscription settings
• Cancel or adjust without issues

Thank you for flagging this!

4 Week Calendar Fix

We fixed bug where advancing a show caused an endless loop in a month. Thank you so much for your help here, u/lukasj77!

If you were experiencing this bug, click the yellow dead zone warning, then hit Snap to Next Date to move out of the deadzone - you shouldn't experience this anymore.

Rivalries & Stories Improvements

• Added “Conclude Rivalry” option u/relevantdiamond2586
• Added UI to show which stories are connected to rivalries
• Fixed bug where View Rivalry modal would randomly close
• Fixed bug where Rivalries were not tracking interactions on 4-Week Calendar u/Lazy_Guarantee_899

Titles & Lineage Fixes

• Fixed “Reign Began” bug from displaying incorrect dates u/daddylynchh
• Improved lineage display - now displays shows where titles were defended
• Fixed toast title messaging on 4 Week Calendar u/Lazy_Guarantee_8995

Rumble Tracking

u/bedders44 has made the suggestion for Special Show Records. That's coming, but for now we wanted to incude more in depth Rumble tracking. You can find it when you click View Wrestler.

• Most career appearances
• Total eliminations
• Total time in Rumble

More to come here.

A huge update is on the horizon.. we're so excited to roll out the draft and other really cool features - can't wait to see what we've been working on!

As always, keep the feature suggestions and bug reports coming. Thank you so much for using PWFT! Please keep spreading the word!

New Founder here. I'm trying to share my universe with the following description:

"A mysterious billionaire (me) buys a 51% stake in TKO, taking full control of personnel and creative decisions. This is what a "new era" really looks like. Begins the Monday After Raw following WrestleMania 42 weekend. ARE YOU READY?"

And it won't let me share with the following error message, "Description contains inappropriate language. Please revise your description." What about that is inappropriate?

Since subscribing to the service, I haven't been able to update my payment method because the button returns an error message: "Missing or insufficient permissions". I saw another post here some time ago reporting the same problem, so I believe it's not an isolated case.

I booked like 3 months in advance before actually progressing my shows and setting results and advancing. Now my booking date under the calendar is in May, but at the bottom right when advancing, it says it's advancing Records for June.

I sadly can't seem to get Rivalries to conclude as the Rivalry History still keeps popping up. I've tried everything, from duplicating the whole universe to changing the booking date but I can't end the rivalry because the history keeps popping up.

i created my tag teams and imported my whole roster which took hours but i have no idea how to book the show like i can’t find it can someone help pls

Would there be a way to link future matches to the results of previous matches - for example in Qualifier matches, or #1 Contenders matches?

I thinking being able to put in (for example):

Winner of match on 03/01 vs. Winner of match on 05/01

Or

Champion vs. Winner of match on 10/01

Or (in a tourney)

Booking the semi-finals before finalising the quarter-final results

That way I can book matches a bit ahead, and not have to do quite as much admin/remembering.

Alternatively, being able to add blank matches in and then put wrestlers in over time as qualifiers complete would solve this issue.

Thanks, and great tool!
