🏆 Rondy Royal Rumble – Week 4 Recap
“To be the man, you gotta beat the man!”
🤼♂️ Any Given Sundae vs. Team Cady
Rob hits a flying elbow. Adam taps out early.
Rob came storming into this match like prime Macho Man, setting the tone Thursday night with Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and the Hawks D tag-teaming their way to 65 points. The crowd popped. The arena shook. The match might as well have ended then.
Adam, meanwhile, stumbled out of gorilla position, flanked by Kenneth Walker and Trey McBride, who were hyped as ring generals... and then delivered just 12 points apiece. His whole squad barely cracked a sweat, each putting up “meh” numbers in the 7–15 range.
By the time Monday Night Raw rolled around, Rob was already backstage in a silk robe, sipping 42-year-old scotch and cutting a promo for Week 5. Not even Ja'Marr Chase could mount a run-in to save Adam from this beatdown.
Both managers are now 2–2, with Adam holding onto the last playoff spot by a thread. Someone cue the dramatic music.
🪓 The BIG Show vs. Tua 3, 4 Concussions
Chris brings the steel chair. The streak is over.
Chris stepped into the squared circle against the undefeated Andy, and it looked like we were heading for a title unification match. JSN got things started Thursday night with 13 points — a jab, not a knockout. Andy smirked. He rubbed his hands together like Vince before a ratings grab, ready to unleash Lamar Jackson and the crew.
Then it turned into a pay-per-view classic. Justin Jefferson threw down 22 points — a big-time body slam. Chris countered with a double-team special: James Cook and Egbuka combining for 42. The crowd was on its feet.
But the finish? Oh, the finish. On Sunday Night Football, Josh Jacobs hit the ropes and came off the top turnbuckle with 31 points, leaving Andy laid out cold in the center of the ring. De’Von Achane and Courtland Sutton tried to rally with 36 on Monday... but it was too late. The ref counted to three.
Chris ends Andy’s undefeated run. Both now sit at 3–1. Let’s call it what it was: a main event.
🦾 X Gon’ Gibbs It To Ya vs. nWo4LIFE
nWo4LIFE Goes Hollywood; Jason Gets Swerved
After getting squashed last week, DJ stormed into this match with fire in his eyes. No intro music, he sprinted straight into the ring. He opened with Bucky Irving, Omarion Hampton, and DK Metcalf, all hitting the mid-20s. The man meant business.
Jason fought back like a seasoned vet — Mahomes dropped 30, and Superfly Jimmy Puka Nacua sailed in with 36. It looked like DJ was heading toward heartbreak city again…
But then, Dak Prescott walked down the ramp on Sunday night and dropped a surprise 33-point promo, bringing DJ within 8. And with Tyreek Hill and the Broncos D in play on Monday night, the comeback was inevitable.
DJ takes the win, jumping into 6th place. Jason falls to 7th. The fantasy gods are clearly heels.
Also, DJ’s locker room was not without drama — Malik Nabers and Tyreek Hill went down with injuries. DJ may have won the match, but he’s limping into next week with a battered roster and a dangerously shallow waiver wire.
🚧 Man DIESEL vs. Tua-Tang Clan
Chad survives the gauntlet. Matt still looking for his pop.
This one was an old-school slugfest — back and forth, no rest holds. Just back to back clotheslines.
Matt unleashed his best performance of the season, with CMC, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Quentin Johnston all posting mid-20s. It was his most inspired match yet — the fans were buzzing. The comeback arc was in motion.
Chad, ever the bruiser, delivered his signature combo: Josh Allen (again) and a breakout performance from George Pickens, who dropped 33 points and threw a steel chair into Matt’s redemption story.
Heading into Monday night, Matt needed Chase Brown to outscore both Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson. In other words: he needed a miracle, a botch, and a double DQ. He got none of it. Chase Brown ghosted, and Chad secured the pinfall.
Chad improves to 3–1 and leads the league in Points For. Matt stays winless, though to be fair, he’s faced the most Points Against in the league. This isn’t a 0–4 team. It’s just a man taking cheap shots every time he climbs the ladder.
💸 Bonus Round
💯 Weekly High Score
Chad grabs the $10 bonus for the second time this season, dropping 167.75 and continuing his run as the league’s statistical powerhouse. Chris and DJ weren’t far behind, scoring 161 and 159, respectively.
🧼 Biggest Blowout
No squash matches this week — all four contests were hard-fought. No new bonus leader.
🏃 A Win’s a Win
No greasy victories either. All winners put up 140+ like professionals. No change here.
☠️ Survivor Pool Watch
What a reversal. After a Week 3 debacle, DJ roared back with 159.55, while Adam nearly sleepwalked into elimination with just 108.8 — his second-worst performance yet.
It came down to the wire. The bottom two were separated by less than 3 points. But in the end, DJ's total of 240.30 just couldn’t catch Jason’s 243.10.
DJ is eliminated. But he goes out swinging.
📉 Final Thoughts
We’ve got three-way chaos at the top: Chad, Chris, and Andy all sit at 3–1 and lead the league in scoring… and in least Points Against. Meanwhile, the bottom four have faced the highest Points Against.
This isn’t the time to get comfortable, or throw in the towel.
The Royal Rumble is just heating up.
Bye weeks are coming. Benches are thin. And no one's safe when the steel cage lowers.
