Punishment Martinez VS Shane Taylor!

Two of the literally biggest men in ROH do battle on Supercard of Honor Weekend to prove who is the superior monster. The Notorious Hitman has #Knockouts4Everybody, but will that keep him from being sent #SouthofHeaven?

The bell rings but no Code of Honor between these two. Taylor talks trash at Punishment, but the Reincarnation of the Purple Mist is ice cold as Taylor calls for a test of strength. Fans chant “Punishment! Punishment!” which Taylor notices. He shrugs it off and eggs Punishment on, and they tie up. Taylor knees low but he can’t push Punishment back. Punishment bridges back then powers up, but Taylor trips him to a cover. ONE, ONE, then Punishment kip-up and turns Taylor around. Punishment steps over, gets a headlock then shifts to the back and tries jumping onto Taylor’s shoulders, but Taylor slips out and shoves him away. They collide, Taylor staggers back but rebounds on the ropes to hit back, Punishment also rebounds to rock Taylor with a right hand!

Taylor checks his teeth, and they both smirk. Taylor hits back, but Punishment stands up. Punishment throws hands but Taylor evades, then Taylor throws hands but Punishment evades. Both men go evasion for evasion and we have a stand-off. Fans applaud while the two circle. Taylor gets a body shot but Punishment gets a back elbow. Punishment goes to whip but Taylor blocks and reverses. Punishment evades Taylor’s attacks, but his crossbody is caught! Taylor pops Punishment up on his shoulder but Punishment slips out, to then shove Taylor at the ropes. Punishment wants the hip toss but Taylor blocks that, too, so Punishment ducks the clothesline to give one of his own. Taylor stays standing, so Punishment boots him. Taylor is still standing as he retaliates with a swift left! Punishment stays standing, but Taylor whips him and follows, evades another boot, then clotheslines Punishment out of the ring.

Taylor sees Punishment still on his feet so he builds speed! Punishment hops up onto the apron, only to get blasted off it by Taylor! Taylor keeps moving, but he runs into Punishment’s roundhouse! Taylor staggers while we go to break.

ROH returns just as Taylor throws Punishment with a Fall Away Slam!

Then he adds a cannonball in the corner! And a cannonball from the apron! The Hitman topples Punishment over! He drags Punishment up into the ring, then climbs up to the top. Punishment gets up and rocks Taylor with a right, then throws him down in a Falcon Arrow! Cover, TWO! Punishment is not bothered, he takes aim at Taylor from across the ring. He runs corner to corner and leaps, but his splash is caught by Taylor! Taylor carries Punishment to the center of the ring, but Punishment slips out and boots him back into the corner. Punishment runs in, big corner splash hits this time, and so does the roaring forearm.

Punishment hits Taylor again, then whips him corner to corner. Taylor reverses and scoops Punishment up, but Punishment again slips out. Punishment ear-claps Taylor but Taylor hits back with a back elbow. Both men stagger, but Punishment grabs Taylor around the throat. Taylor takes advantage of Punishment’s bad eye to break free and rock him with a knee. Punishment goes down, Taylor shoves him back and gives him another knee! Taylor drags Punishment up, whips him, and choke slams Punishment!

Taylor essentially steals Punishment’s move, then runs for the big splash! TWO, and Taylor can’t believe it. Taylor stands up while Punishment is slowly stirring. He loads up, but Punishment boots away the punch to then SUPERKICK and spinning roundhouse Taylor out of the ring! Punishment sees Taylor is still on his feet, but dazed, so Punishment builds speed and FLIES!

The fans fire up for Punishment and he drags Taylor up and into the ring. Punishment enters and sees the attack coming, he spins Taylor around for HIS South of Heaven Choke Slam!

Cover, Punishment Martinez wins!

Winner: Martinez, by pinfall

But Punishment is not one for having his hand raised by a referee, Todd Sinclair barely gets away from Punishment’s wrath. Who else will suffer the wrath of Punishment on his path towards the ROH World Heavyweight Championship?

Coleman’s Pulpit returns!

The Most Versatile Man in this Sport Today has the most exciting episode ever! He finally gets a guest he’s been after for so long, it’s Jay Lethal!

As originally seen on February 5th via ROH’s YouTube channel, Coleman sits down with Lethal, but Lethal lets Coleman know that he’s not a big fan of the Pulpit. Coleman gets people on here just to ask ridiculous questions and say ridiculous things, all to poke and dig at them. Lethal won’t let that happen, he’s only agreed to do this show because the ROH administration asked him to, and because Coleman agreed to only ask two questions. Better make those questions count. Coleman is too busy being excited about having Lethal on the show. Who cares about all his other guests? All Coleman sees is a ratings boom! Coleman checked Lethal’s Wikipedia page, and has all this material. Lethal reminds him, only two questions, so make them good.

Coleman starts with how Lethal lost the ROH World Heavyweight Championship in August, 2016. Lethal’s goal in 2017 was to get it back, and the same for 2018. Is that Lethal’s goal in 2019, too, seeing as how Lethal still doesn’t have the ROH WHC back? First off, Lethal’s goals are none of Coleman’s concern. But yes, Lethal wants that title back, which is something Coleman will never know anything about, acting like this. Lethal has beat wrestlers Coleman can only dream of beating. Coleman has read the Wikipedia page, so he knows Lethal’s resume.

Lethal brings up that Jay Briscoe was undefeated for two years before Lethal beat him. Lethal won a double-header on PPV, never before seen in ROH. He even came back from a brutal beating that hospitalized him, and was humiliated when he was shaved bald on TV, all for the ROH world title. And Lethal won’t change a thing, because that title means you are the greatest in the world, no matter what. Coleman respects Lethal, and he remembers seeing those moments, especially the one with the hair. That was rough, since Lethal was losing anyway. Lethal doesn’t like Coleman’s tone, so Coleman moves on to his next question.

Lethal wrestled Ric Flair, who cares. He wrestled Sting, who cares. Kurt Angle, not bad. Coleman finds what he was looking for! Lethal’s relationships: he dated AJ L– Don’t go there. Coleman laughs it up even as Lethal slaps the papers away. This is why Lethal didn’t want to be on this “garbage” talk show. It will never get the ratings Coleman wants with how he tries to humiliate his guests. Lethal is furious with Coleman’s laughing fit, but Coleman “apologizes”. Lethal takes off his mic and storms out. Coleman is still highly amused with himself as he closes the Pulpit, “the place where I find out the truth, and the truth will help you, see you later. Ratings!” He may be all laughs now, but will Coleman be feeling good about this after he and Lethal have their match tonight?

SoCal Uncensored’s Frankie Kazarian speaks.

The Heavy Metal Rebel speaks to Hiromu Takahashi of Los Ingobernables de Japon. Once upon a time, the Ticking Timebomb was an ally of The Addiction, “fighting the good fight”, and learned many things from them. In this business, it’s called “getting a rub.” But now he’s in Japan, blowing up, successful and doing it all right, but he brings a stuffed animal to the ring? Daryl the Cat has the “marks” entertained, but not Kaz! Kaz thinks Daryl is stupid and “sucks”! After Kaz beats Hiromu 1v1, he’s going to take Daryl and shove him down Hiromu’s throat! Hiromu may be the ticking timebomb, but Kaz is the “gun you can’t unload”. Who will be left standing when these two explosive elements collide?

Jay Lethal VS Caprice Coleman!

The Franchise Player of ROH gets a chance at payback over the humiliation The Ambassador of the Grind attempted on his talk show! Who will have the last laugh before Supercard of Honor?

But Coleman doesn’t wait for the bell, he attacks Lethal from behind!

Lethal goes down while the bell rings, and Coleman goes out to attack Lethal again. Lethal hits back! They brawl on the outside among the streamers, and Lethal gets the edge with a chop and haymakers. Lethal snap suplexes Coleman to the floor! Coleman fights back with chops of his own, then stalks Lethal around the corner. Coleman gives another sharp chop. The referee tries to get this back in the ring but the two keep brawling. Lethal chops Coleman again and again, and again! He hits Coleman with a European Uppercut, then brings him around to sit him in a chair. Lethal gives another chop and Coleman spasms. Coleman hits back then chops back, but Lethal comes back with more chops, this brawl gets wild! Lethal kicks and gives Coleman a jackhammer suplex to the floor!

Fans fire up while Lethal looms over Coleman. They finally go inside the ring, but Coleman rolls quickly back out. Lethal follows but Coleman is on him with a kick and haymakers. Coleman brings Lethal around and whips, Lethal reverses, but Coleman uses the post to swing back around to dropkick Lethal down! Coleman composes himself before grinding his boot into Lethal’s neck. He drags Lethal up but Lethal pushes him into the apron before giving him another sharp chop. Lethal brings Coleman around for more chops, but Coleman hits back again. Coleman chokes Lethal at the apron but Lethal powers out and kicks Coleman low before putting him back in the ring. Coleman tries to swing out and dropkick Lethal again, but Lethal evades to enziguri Coleman down!

Lethal gets back in the ring while Coleman staggers, he builds speed, but Coleman gets out of the way. Lethal slides out and pursues, they both go back into the ring, and Lethal throws Coleman out onto the apron, for the triangle dropkick! Coleman tumbles down and Lethal builds up speed, to DIVE!

The Franchise is in control while we go to break.

ROH returns to Lethal still in control of Coleman. He brings Coleman up into a corner and chops again. Lethal whips but Coleman reverses, but Lethal boots Coleman back and knocks him down with the calf kick. Cover, TWO, but Lethal keeps his cool. He whips Coleman but Coleman holds the ropes. Lethal tries again but Coleman breaks free and throat chops Lethal. Coleman hits the STO, covers, TWO! Coleman catches his breath, a little frustrated, and puts Lethal in a chinlock on the mat. He grinds and squeezes Lethal but fans build to a rally.

Lethal works his way to his feet and fights out of the hold, but Coleman clubs him down with a double ax handle. Coleman grinds his foot into Lethal and holds on until the count of 4. He brings Lethal back up and whips him to ropes, but Lethal kicks Coleman away and then unloads more of those chops! Lethal calls for it, runs and handsprings, but into the cobra clutch and Russian leg sweep! Coleman holds on as he rolls it over to a cobra crossface!

Lethal endures as Coleman wrenches back. Lethal drags himself towards ropes, but Coleman wrenches back, so Lethal rolls the hold, only for Coleman to roll it back! Coleman wrenches as deep as he can, but Lethal powers up to his feet. Coleman swings Lethal out and avoids Lethal’s retaliation to hit a cravat cutter! Cover, TWO! Lethal rolls but Coleman brings him up.

Coleman whips but Lethal holds onto ropes, so Coleman unloads an overhand chop. Coleman tries again, but Lethal still holds on, so Coleman chops him again. The whip is denied a third time, and now Lethal dares Coleman to give him the chop. Coleman chops and chops, then Lethal turns it around to chop away on Coleman! Coleman pokes Lethal in the eyes. He whips Lethal corner to corner, then runs in, but Lethal avoids it. Coleman tumbles but lands on his feet, only to stagger backwards into Lethal’s torture rack lift. Lethal bends and stretches Coleman in the “Lethal Rack”, but Coleman rakes his eyes again. Coleman wrenches and heel kicks Lethal, but Lethal avoids the jump kick and the clothesline to handspring, LETHAL INJECTION!

Cover, Lethal wins!

Winner: Lethal, by pinfall

The Franchise shuts Coleman up with this victory right here. Between Supercard of Honor’s ROH World Tag Team Championship match with The Ace, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and the coming ROH Masters of the Craft special, can Lethal gain momentum that will take him back to the ROH World Heavyweight Championship?

The WOH Championship participants speak.

Kelly Klein knows “Mayu Iwatani is a tremendous addition to the Women of Honor Championship Tournament. Her list of accolades and accomplishments speak for itself.” Mayu Iwatani responds with that as a member of Stardom, she is excited to be part of this tournament to crown the very first ROH Women of Honor Champion. But Kelly wants to know if anyone thinks that Mayu or anyone else is going to step into her ring, the ring Kelly has dominated for over two years, and stop her? Mayu vows to win and “build the value of the belt” by defending it both in America, in Japan, and around the world. Kelly tells Mayu that she is definitely a star, but she is the next star Kelly will “knock out of the sky.” Mayu recaps her defeating HZK and Deonna Purrazzo, so in this third round, Kelly Klein, “I kick your ass.”

Meanwhile, the newest recruit to the WOH Division, Tenille Dashwood, puts the spotlight on herself as she admits the competition has been tough. That’s exactly why she came to ROH: “to work my way to becoming a champion and to show the world exactly how good I am.” Her opponent, Sumie Sakai, is so happy to fight for a chance at the WOH Championship in this tournament. She swept Oeda Tai, Hana Kimura and Kagetsu, while Emma defeated Stacy Shadows and Brandi Rhodes. They meet in the semifinals, and while they respect each other, Tenille lets everyone know she’s going to do everything she can to advance. Sumie “always loved wrestling in Japan”, but coming to ROH changed her life. She gets a bit emotional as she vows to win this tournament.

Which one of these four will make it to the finals and win it all at Supercard of Honor?

Triple Threat: Cody VS Christopher Daniels VS Matt Taven!

Before The American Nightmare settles things with The Cleaner, before SoCal Uncensored takes on Flip Gordon & The Young Bucks, and before The Kingdom tries to kill the conspiracy, the three big factions in ROH pit their leaders against each other! Or at least a self-proclaimed leader in Cody. Which captain will capture a win for their team going into New Orleans?

Wait a minute, who is this Cody is bringing out with him? Is that a new Bury the Bear? Cody snatches a mic and has the music stop so the formal announcement can be made: Apparently, this is Burnard the Business Bear. Hopefully Cody knows who is in the costume this time. Fans chant “Bear Up!” while things settle down with a commercial break.

ROH returns with the ring of the bell, and the three men watch each other closely as they circle. Taven and Daniels corner Cody, but Taven kicks Daniels! He tries to swing on Cody right after, but Cody sees that coming, and counters with the headlock and punch. Cody whips Taven, Taven ducks the punch but runs into Daniels’, and then Cody gets his. Taven bounces between Daniels and Cody as they punch him back and forth. The cycle ends with Cody kicking low and dropping down for the uppercut, then Daniels hits Taven with a back suplex. Daniels clotheslines Taven out of the ring, and now we revisit the feud of two former ROH world champions.

Cody and Daniels circle, tie up, and Cody gets the headlock. Daniels powers out and things speed up, they collide shoulder to shoulder but neither man falls. They run and collide with clotheslines, but again neither man falls. They trade forearms back and forth while Taven climbs up to the top rope, Taven flies in to missile dropkick them both down! Daniels and Cody roll out of the ring while Taven embraces the cheers and jeers. Taven sees Cody coming and bumps him away, then sees Daniels and does the same. Cody and Daniels are together, Taven builds speed, but Cody and Daniels get clear of his wrecking ball dropkick. Taven avoids Daniels’ clothesline and Daniels runs into Cody’s punch. Cody sees Taven running in and throws him with a back drop!

Daniels tries to get back in the ring but Cody yanks him back out for an overhand chop. Cody puts Daniels back in the ring then shakes hands with Burnard before reentering himself. Cody kicks Daniels, suplex, and he holds Daniels up before dropping him with a gord buster. The American Nightmare flexes, then keeps on Daniels with punches. He whips Daniels but Daniels reverses, Cody dodges to then DIVE on Taven!

Taven goes down but Daniels goes to the apron. Daniels kicks Cody away before hitting the Arabian Moonsault!

Daniels wipes Cody out but Taven pounces by pushing Daniels into a post! Taven picks up his walking stick, gives it a kiss, and swings at Cody but Cody ducks and retaliates with a kick. Cody puts Taven in the ring and picks up that walking stick for himself. Referee Todd Sinclair stops Cody from using it, which Cody protests. Cody turns around into Taven’s spinning bicycle kick! Taven drags Cody up and whips him to the ropes, but Cody sunset flips, only for Taven to roll through and hit a Shining Wizard! Why? “Because I’m Matt Taven!” Taven sees Daniels returning, so he hits Daniels with the triangle jump enziguri, the Kick of the King! Cody goes after Taven but Taven dodges and unleashes a strike fest, then Moonlight Drive!

Cover, TWO, but Taven keeps his cool. Daniels returns and shoulders in, then slingshot schoolboy roll. Taven rolls through but Daniels kicks out a leg, to then club him from behind with a clothesline! Cody is up but Daniels hits him with the atomic drop and STO! Daniels fires up and takes aim at Cody, but he hits Taven with a forearm smash first. Daniels whips Taven corner to corner, but Taven puts Daniels on the apron. Taven roundhouses Daniels down, then builds speed to FLY!

Direct hit to Daniels, and fans fire up, but then Cody runs over and FLIES, too!

Cody takes both Daniels and Taven out with one crossbody! The American Nightmare is all smiles while Burnard cheers him on, we go to break.

ROH returns once more as Cody jumps up and over Taven in the corner. Taven runs back out but into Cody’s powerslam! Cover, TWO, and Cody’s frustration grows. He rallies the fans before getting Taven with the takedown. Cody gets the Figure Four, and puts on the American Deathlock!

Taven’s bad knee is the target, but he endures as he crawls for ropes. Daniels returns, and uses the Best Moonsault Ever to break it!

All three men are down, but Daniels crawls to a cover on Cody, only for Taven to break it. Taven goes after Daniels and the two brawl with haymakers. Taven gets the edge, then whips but Daniels reverses. Daniels swings but misses, then runs to match pace, double crossbodies collide! Burnard coaches Cody back up while fans rally. Cody clears his head while Daniels and Taven get to a corner. Taven whips but Daniels reverses, Daniels runs in but Taven evades and rolls him up. Taven gets his feet on the ropes! TWO, and Taven argues with the ref. Daniels rolls Taven, TWO, and now he argues.

Taven knees low, loops around for Climax, but Daniels denies it. Daniels kicks Taven and goes for the double underhook, but Cody slips in the ring to hit the Beautiful Disaster kick! Taven revives and springboards, but Cody ducks to send the Kick of the King into Daniels! Cody throws Taven out then kneels in the Terminator pose. Some fans boo because that’s Kenny Omega’s thing, but other fans start up the drums. Cody rises, then builds speed, but Daniels tries to roll Cody up. Cody bucks Daniels off, then grabs him in the dragon sleeper while Taven slowly climbs up. Cross Rhodes hits!

But so does Taven’s frog splash!

Taven covers them both, Taven wins!!

Winner: Taven, by pinfall

No conspiracy here, Taven simply outsmarted two former world champions. The ROH world title is the only title Taven hasn’t held, can this big win help him leap over this Kingdom Conspiracy to complete the Grand Slam? And when Taven and Cody have a rematch at Masters of the Craft, who will draw First Blood?!

My Thoughts:

A pretty good extra go-home for Supercard of Honor, but it also builds itself as a go-home to the Honor Club special, Masters of the Craft. Punishment Martinez and Shane Taylor of a good match to lead into Martinez VS Ishii, which is of course a stiff match-up itself. Lethal does a solid side story match with Coleman that could be the beginnings of something. Lethal VS Jonathan Gresham is going to be a great match just on technique, and I hope it really adds to Gresham’s story. I really want to see him revive the ROH Pure Wrestling Championship.

The WOH Championship Tournament recap and promos were solid, and helps frame the semifinals and finals for Supercard. Then the Triple Threat main event was great, so much story on top of great action, and this new “Burnard” character could add an odd new dimension to “Bullet Club is (Not) Fine”. Burnard could be anyone, and when that reveal happens, it could be Bullet Club’s brand new member who bolsters Team Cody in this civil war. Taven winning was a real surprise, I thought it was going to be Cody. However, Taven is growing as a star Heel, like the ROH equivalent of The Miz or something. After this Kingdom Conspiracy story wraps up, I could see him challenging Dalton Castle, but maybe only winning through cheating to finally get the Grand Slam.

My Score: 8/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Kevin Owens is here!

The fans fire up as the Prizefighter heads to the ring, but it turns out, he’s not alone! SAMI ZAYN is here, too! The best frenemies reunited on SmackDown, so they’re rolling together here on Raw! Fans sing Sami’s song and then cheer for “SAMI! SAMI!” Kevin says, “I think they like you.” Fans then chant for “KO! KO!” Sami says, “Sounds like they like you, too, pal.” Kevin appreciates them cheering, and Sami says it feels really, really, really good to come out here on the same page with Kevin again. And he didn’t get a chance to say this last week, but Sami says he gets it.

After Elimination Chamber, for weeks Sami came up to Kevin, talking about not being friends and working together, he had it wrong. He thought of it as a business transaction, and that’s not how they’ve done this. They’ve needed each other their whole careers, whether as friends or enemies, they’ve always used each other to get to the next level, and they did it as brothers. Kevin says Sami is right about that, but here’s something Sami might not understand. For 20 years, Kevin’s been Sami’s biggest fan. Whether fighting each other or fighting alongside each other, Kevin’s been Sami’s biggest fan. Whenever he would be asked who is the best wrestler he’s been in the ring with, he’d say Sami Zayn.

So for the last six months, it was frustrating to see Sami in the Bloodline, being held under Roman’ Reigns’ thumb, when the truth is, Sami is better than all of them! He outgrew the Bloodline right away! Kevin knew it, the Bloodline knew it, and the FANS knew it! Kevin couldn’t take seeing Sami stay under Roman. But Sami got through to Kevin, and Kevin realized it was time to get over that and take down the Bloodline together. Sami says they both know what comes next. They look to the WrestleMania sign! And here come the Usos! Jimmy & Jey glare right at Sami & Kevin, and they have mics of their own to speak their minds.

Fans boo but Jey says, “Look at ’em! You see what I see?” Jimmy sees ’em, Uce. That right there is a backstabber! Sami, what you whispering about? Kevin’s Sami’s biggest fan, they like you, too! You two are just gonna backstab each other! They’re the kind of family that cuts at each other’s throats! Sami says they’re gonna talk about family with cutthroats and backstabbers, we all know it is Jey’s dream to get back at Roman Reigns! Jimmy says Sami’s the only one dreaming! Wake up! The two of them staring at the Mania sign like something’s gonna happen there. Nothing’s gonna happen there. NOTHING!

Kevin says let’s just cut to the chase. We all know where this is going, what they’re thinking. And by the sound of it, the fans are thinking the same thing! There’s only one way to settle this, and only one place to do it: The Grandest Stage of Them All! Jimmy & Jey as brothers VS these brothers, Kevin & Sami, for the Undisputed Tag Team titles at WrestleMania! Fans chant “YES! YES! YES!” Jimmy says the Usos are the greatest team in the world! Kevin & Sami don’t deserve anything! They’ve been on the same page for three minutes. The Usos have been down since day one! There won’t be a title match at WrestleMania!

Jey says, “To be honest, though… This might be our one shot to put this, uh, Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens problem in the dirt. So yeah! Brother VS Brother at WrestleMania! WE ACCEPT!” In fact, why wait? The Usos rush the ring and the brawl is on! Kevin has Jimmy. Jey has Sami, but Jimmy POSTS Kevin and Sami TOSSES Jey! Jimmy then runs in to TOSS Sami! Sami throws hands, the Usos mug Sami, but Kevin CLOBBERS Jimmy into the timekeeper’s area! Now the Canadians mug Jey! They put Jey in the ring, Jey runs, into a SUPERKICK! And then Sami sets up, HELLUVA- NO, Jimmy bails Jey out!

Fans boo but the Usos regroup and grab chairs! But refs rush out, and a SUV pulls up backstage. The rest of the Bloodline arrives! Solo Sikoa & Paul Heyman get the door for the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns! Kevin & Sami dare the Usos to do something, but the Usos retreat to regroup with the Bloodline. But the match is made all the same! Will the Bloodline stand or crumble in Hollywood?

Austin Theory VS Montez Ford!

The Now United States Champion didn’t like all the jokes made at his expense, and he took it out on Angelo Dawkins. But will he be able to do the same to the other half of the Profits? Or will A-Town go down this close to WrestleMania?

Raw returns and Ford makes his entrance. Dawkins sees him out to the ramp then falls back, as Ford did for Dawkins last week. The bell rings and Theory circles with Ford. Fans chant, “We Want The Smoke!” Ford and Theory tie up, Theory headlocks, but Ford powers up. Theory holds on tight, but Ford tries again. Ford gets free, but Theory runs him over! Theory does the running man then says, “All Day.” Fans boo but Theory talks trash on Ford. Ford ties up with Theory, headlocks back, but Theory powers out. Ford leaps over Theory, then CLOBBERS him! Fans fire up while Theory is dazed. Ford says, “You Can’t See Me!”

Ford stalks Theory, but Theory throws body shots and haymakers! Theory CHOKES Ford on the ropes! The ref counts, Theory lets off, but Theory storms up to bump Ford off buckles. Theory stomps away on Ford, the ref counts, but Theory lets off at 4. Fans boo but Theory soaks it all up. Theory then brings Ford up, but Ford turns things around and gives all those stomps back! Theory dodges the haymaker to kick and whip, but Ford reverses and follows to LARIAT! Theory stands, Ford clotheslines Theory up and out! Fans fire up, and Ford TOSSES Theory over the barriers! Fans fire up more as Ford celebrates with them and Raw goes to break!

Raw returns again and Theory has Ford up top, but Ford fights back with body shots! Ford ROCKS Theory, Theory holds onto ropes to stay up, but Ford CLAWS his face then DECKS him! Ford stands up to CROSSBODY! Both men are down and fans fire up! Theory and Ford stand, Theory storms up but Ford counter punches! And again! Ford rallies with big clotheslines, then he dodges to UPPERCUT! Ford hits a BIG back suplex, to a handspring, “You Can’t See Me!” STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Theory survives but Ford has the fans behind him. Ford waits on Theory to stand, and then clinches, but Theory elbows free!

Theory brings Ford in, Ford wrenches out and ROCKS Theory! Theory rebounds to BOOT! Ford ENZIGURIS in return! Theory staggers, but he still fireman’s carries! Ford slips free to DDT! Theory bails out and sputters, but Ford kips up to then FLY!! Direct hit at the ramp and St. Louis is thunderous! Ford puts Theory back in, climbs up the corner, and FROM THE HEAVEN- NO, Ford has to roll through as Theory moves! Somersault SHOTGUN! Theory calls his shot, fireman’s carries, A-TOWN DOWN!! Cover, Theory wins!

Winner: Austin Theory, by pinfall

One miscalculation from Ford and Theory pulls out the victory! But as close as this was, will Theory find himself struggling against the living legend that is John Cena?

Theory gets the mic to say, “He didn’t believe in me, and now he does. And John, you don’t believe in me. But at WrestleMania, you will!” Theory points to the sign, will WrestleMania belong to The Now?

The Bloodline regroups in the private suite.

The Usos sit with Roman, and he says that wasn’t the best start to the night. Are they good? They’re good. Well, it looked like they took a beating. Well, yeah, a few shots. But y’know what? Nothing can hurt Jimmy or hit him harder than being torn away from his brother. Nothing! And then having to sit here and answer to it like it’s his fault! Is Jimmy standing up to Roman? “I will never forgive Sami Zayn for this.” At Mania, the Usos got him. Roman sure hopes so. He really does. “Wise Man!” “Yes, My Tribal Chief?” “Bring me Adam Pearce.” “Yes, My Tribal Chief.” Heyman heads out, as do Jimmy and Solo, but Roman tells Jey to stay.

Jey sits closer with Roman now, but what will the Tribal Chief have to say to him?

Raw returns as Roman and Jey continue to sit.

Roman says, “It’s been a minute. Haven’t seen you. Haven’t heard from you. I got to beg your brother to get some answers. And now you’re back, making decisions. In order to make decisions, you gotta be part of the Bloodline. Are you with us? Are you Bloodline? Are you still my family?” Jey says he is with Roman. He is Bloodline, Uce. The two look at each other, eye to eye, and Roman says, “I hope so. So I’ma let you do you. I’ll see you later.” Jey nods and goes to stand up, but then Roman puts a hand on his knee. “I love you.” Jey goes, and Heyman returns. “My Tribal Chief.” “Yes, Wise Man?” “Did you find out the answers you were looking for?” Roman says yes.

BREAKING NEWS for WrestleMania!

As first announced on SmackDown, there will be two Fatal 4 Way Tag Team showcase matches! While the women’s division is competing for their spots, the four men’s teams are decided! The Street Profits VS The Viking Raiders VS The Alpha Academy VS Braun Strowman & Ricochet!

Backstage interview with Adam Pearce.

Byron Saxton is with the WWE Official, and asks for some insight about this showcase matches. Yes, this is a great opportunity to showcase the best tag teams in the men’s and women’s divisions, and- Chelsea Green asks to talk to the manager. Hi, Chelsea, it’s him, Pearce. Then Chelsea wants him to know that she just made matching gear for herself and her tag team partner, Carmella, but Carmella isn’t available tonight! Yes, he knows, so- So he’ll have no problem to agreeing to this new tag partner she found, someone who has no love lost for Bianca Belair and Asuka. In comes Piper Niven!

Chelsea introduces Piper, and says she will help Chelsea destroy the competition. Talk to whoever you have to in order to make this official. For what feels like the thousandth time, Pearce is the one. He is the general manager, he makes things official, and he- Well if he’s so official, then go ahead and make it official that these two are in the Women’s Fatal 4 Way Showcase! That’s what he was in the middle of doing! Oh! Finalizing? Do you know who she is?! She is Chelsea green, she is a star, and you do not want to make her angry. Don’t make her go on social media and at WWE to put her on blast. Or worse, walk him! Put her in! ‘Kay, bye.

Pearce sighs, but at the very least, Chelsea and Piper are going to see if they’re a worthy duo against the EST and the Empress of Tomorrow.

It’s a tale of the tape!

“WrestleMania has played host to some of the biggest collisions in WWE history. And this year, two titans are set for a colossal showdown.” Brock Lesnar has used his natural physical gifts for roughly 20 years. He is 6’3″ and 285 pounds, with a wingspan of 81 inches, Lesnar has the ultimate tools to deliver suplexes and the F5. So it is no surprise that he has achieved so many accolades: seven-time WWE Champion, three-time Universal Champion, two-time Royal Rumble winner. He even dominated the octagon to become UFC Heavyweight Champion. It is clear that Lesnar is capable of decimating anyone he’s faced.

But he’s never faced someone like Omos. The Nigerian Giant’s sheer size made him a spectacle upon arrival. 7’3″, 416 pounds, making him dwarf even Khali, Kane and the Undertaker. The 87 inch reach gives him a foot of advantage over the average boxer, and his 14.5 inch hands are twice the size of a normal man’s. Omos has already cemented himself as a force of nature in the WWE. These two have all the components to overwhelm the ordinary competitor, but they’re both far from ordinary. This will be a battle unlike any other, on the only stage big enough to contain them!

Omos w/ MVP VS Mustafa Ali!

If that tale of the tape wasn’t enough for you, then prepare to see the Nigerian Giant in action! Will the Beacon be broken this close to WrestleMania?

The bell rings and Ali tries to reason with Omos. Ali believes in positivity now, and he will win with a smile on his face. Omos SHOVES Ali all the way to the corner! Omos talks trash on Ali, then CLOBBERS him! Ali flounders and Omos roars. Dolph Ziggler is watching backstage, he is not impressed by Ali’s overenthusiasm. Omos drags Ali up to MOUNTAINTOP SLAM!! Cover, Omos wins!

Winner: Omos, by pinfall

MVP gets the mic and says the Nigerian Giant fears no man, animal or beast. But Brock Lesnar will learn to fear the Nigerian Giant at WrestleMania! But will The Beast be able able to build Suplex City on the huge foundation that is this mountain?

Security knocks on Logan Paul’s door.

Logan Paul and his entourage head out, and Miz walks over for a handshake. Miz was hoping to go over the questions for tonight, since Logan will surely want have him, this year’s host of WrestleMania, as his guest on ImPAULsive TV tonight. Yeah, no, hard pass. Logan leaves Miz hanging and heads to gorilla, but will he regret showing up on Raw tonight?

Logan Paul heads to the ring.

Fans are torn as “the Maverick” is ready to host the Raw debut of his talk show. “EY YOOO, ST. LOUIS~! Ladies and gentlemen, let’s get a little ImPAULsive, shall we?” Logan knows last week, Seth Rollins said that the fans don’t want Logan here. Well too bad because tonight, you’re in HIS house! ImPAULsive TV, baby! Boo all you want, but here’s the reality, y’all. He doesn’t have to be here. He doesn’t. He’s made his millions off his name and his brands, but he’s here because he loves it. He hears you, and sadly, y’all don’t love him. Maybe two people do: his dad, who he dragged to St. Louis, and that kid who had the “Drink Prime” sign. Much love, kid.

But the rest of y’all, no matter how many times he gets on the mic for their entertainment, no matter how many of these “superstars” he beats up, the fans will never respect him. But guess what? He doesn’t care! It isn’t his fault you DORKS refuse to see the amount of talent standing in front of you! Logan is a 360 degree entertainer, there is nothing he can’t do, there is no seat he can’t fill, there is no person on this roster he can’t compete with. Whether you like him or not, yes, he IS that good. That’s why he didn’t invite anyone to be his guest tonight. Because he can do it all! And did you think any of his celebrity friends would come to a place like St. Louis?

“Two words: Get real!” They’d be outta here quicker than the St. Louis Rams! Oh, sorry, the LA Rams! In fact, he’s looking to joining the Rams back in LA when he challenged “your hear,” Seth Rollins, to a match at WrestleMania, April 1st, Logan’s 28th birthday. Happy birthday to himself, he gets to kick some ass. But jokes aside, the match will be great. Rollins is top three in the business. But Logan was talking with his brother, Jake, and Jake made a good point. It is hard to be afraid of a guy named “Seth.” Seths are nice guys. Seth Rogan, Seth Curry, though he’s not as good as Steph Curry, but hey.

And maybe, if Rollins hadn’t started this beef, they could’ve been friends! But now, Logan just wants to see himself knock Rollins out again. Actually, can we do that? Can we get a replay of him knocking Rollins out? It was two weeks ago, Rollins gave Miz a superkick and then Logan hit his One Lucky Punch. Do you guys like Rollins? Let’s see that again. Oh, so good! Rollins looked so dumb. Okay, one more time! Put some production value on it. BOP! SMACK! WHAM! Beautiful! Like watching Picasso paint. Logan could see that all day! But then Logan’s mic gets cut? Logan isn’t sure what’s going on here. Did the production team not get the mics right?

Fans cheer that Logan can’t be heard, but he just trades mic. But wait! Rollins is in the production truck! He “apologizes” to “Mr. Paul” about that. He isn’t sure what’s wrong. Logan’s audio isn’t working, the video isn’t working. What could the problem be? HAHAHAHAHAHA! Now the real question, Logan, is how on Earth are we gonna save this terribly awful episode of ImPAULsive TV? Any ideas? OH! Rollins has one. HAHAHAHAHA! “BURN IT DOWN~!” See you soon, Logan! HAHAHAHA! Rollins struts all the way from the truck to gorilla, in a leopard print outfit, too. Logan mocks the fans singing as tone deaf.

Rollins heads to the ring and fans sing more, “OH~ OHH~ OHHHH~!” Logan says St. Louis can’t keep a football team and they can’t keep a tune. And Rollins’ outfit is stupid. Rollins stands with Logan in the ring as fans sing, has the mic, but then TACKLES Logan! The two brawl, spill out of the ring, and Rollins throws hands! Refs rush in, as does Adam Pearce! Fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” and the two get loose! They COLLIDE, and then Rollins TACKLES Logan over the announce desk! Logan scrambles away, but Rollins trips him on the desk!! Logan lands hard, Rollins wants more, but security drags him away!

Rollins rips up Logan’s set, and hurries up the corner! He SUPER CROSSBODIES onto the security! But Logan hits ONE LUCKY PUNCH!! Logan laughs more than Rollins and he takes his leave. Logan says that’s another one, so third time will be the charm. Will Logan get another lucky punch at WrestleMania? Or will Rollins finally burn this “tourist” down?

Dominik Mysterio w/ Damian Priest VS Johnny Gargano w/ Dexter Lumis!

“Ex-Con” Dom keeps pushing his father, Rey, to fight him, but Rey has not caved in. Will the “pathetic, punk-ass kid” take out his frustrations in this match tonight? Or will Johnny Wrestling slap some sense into one smartass before handling another at Stand & Deliver?

The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, Dom gets around but Gargano wrenches to a wristlock. Gargano avoids the body shot to WRING Dom’s arm, then wrenches it again. Dom headlocks, Gargano powers out, and things speed up. Gargano hurdles, drops and CLOBBERS Dom! Dom flounders but Gargano puts him in a corner. Gargano climbs up to rain down fists! Fans count as Gargano goes WAY past ten! Gargano lets off and fans fire up, but Dom kicks Gargano in the ribs! Dom RAMS into Gargano in the corner, Gargano pushes past, but Dom whips him corner to corner. Dom runs in but Gargano goes up and over to schoolboy KICK!

Dom staggers, Gargano RANAS him out of the ring! Fans fire up, Gargano builds speed and DIVES! Direct hit at the ramp! Fans fire up but Gargano clutches his ribs. Gargano stands, Priest coaches Dom up, but Gargano brings Dom around. Dom RAMS Gargano into steel steps! Dom then RAMS Gargano into the barriers! Fans cheer Gargano on but Dom fireman’s carries to SNAKE EYES! Gargano falls to the mat and Dom soaks up the heat as Raw goes to break.

Raw returns and Dom taunts Gargano while tearing away the rib tape. Dom drags Gargano up, gives some Latino Heat, then suplexes for Uno Amigo! And then Dos Amigos! Fans boo but Gargano fights the third! Gargano suplexes Dom into buckles! Both men are down and fans rally up for Johnny Wrestling. Gargano stands, he fires hands on Dom, blocks a kick, then spins Dom to CLOBBER him! Gargano rallies with more clotheslines, then he ducks ‘n’ dodges to OVERHEAD Belly2Belly! Fans fire up and Dom goes to the apron. Gargano avoids the shoulder to KICK Dom! But Dom HOTSHOTS Gargano!

Dom hurries up to SLINGSHOT- NO, Gargano avoids the senton! SLINGSHOT SPEAR! Cover, TWO! Dom survives but Gargano keeps his focus. Dom wants mercy now? Fans boo and Gargano storms up, but Dom sends him into buckles! Roll up, feet on the ropes! The ref notices in time and calls off the count! Dom argues with the ref, but Gargano SUPERKICKS Dom down! Cover, TWO!! Dom survives and Priest is relieved. Gargano drags Dom up, Dom throws body shots, but Gargano ROCKS Dom with a forearm! Dom ROCKS Gargano back, the forearms go back and forth! Gargano gets the edge, but Dom drop toeholds him!

Fans boo but Dom dials it up, only for Gargano to duck the 619! DISCUS LARIAT! Scoop and LAWN DART! Gargano aims from the corner, SUPERKICK!! Cover, TWO!!! Priest is relieved again but Gargano puts Dom up top. Gargano CHOPS and ROCKS Dom, then climbs up after him. Gargano CHOPS away on Dom, then stands him up. Dom throws body shots in return just as furious! Dom CLUBS away on Gargano, then SUPER GOURD BUSTERS! Dom adjusts to FROG SPLASH onto Gargano’s back! Cover, DOM WINS!

Winner: Dominik Mysterio, by pinfall

Priest celebrates with Dom, and Dom pulls it out on an NXT Triple Crown winner! But Dom isn’t done, as he gets the mic. Fans boo, but Dom says, “Last Friday night on SmackDown, my good for nothing father denied my challenge once again to a match at WrestleMania. But you know what, Jefe? I’m not gonna stop until I get what I want. And at the end of the day, I know that this Friday night on SmackDown in las Vegas, the entire Mysterio family will be there live. So I believe that’s the same family that blocked my number, kicked me outta the group chat, and wanted nothing to do with me. But that’s okay, because the Judgment Day group chat is much better.

“But I think I figured out a way to get you to accept my match, and that’s gonna be when I say hi to mom and ask for her permission for you to face me at WrestleMania. That’s if you have the balls to get them out of her purse.” Dom insults his father, but will he regret dragging the rest of the family into this?

The Usos and Solo talk backstage.

Then Heyman walks over and asks if they’re waiting on the Tribal Chief. Because he’s waiting on them to go to the jet. The seafood has been delivered. Shrimp, lobster, mahi mahi. Roman is so proud of all of them, they can take the rest of the night off and indulge. So they can go eat? Okay! Wait, not Solo. Roman needs to talk with Solo. Solo walks back into the suite with Heyman, and Jey says aight. No mahi mahi for Solo. Will the Usos not be needed for what Roman has planned later tonight?

Edge speaks.

“If you push me, I will not just resist. I will throw you through a wall. Finn, I am a hostile man. I keep it caged so I can be the man I’ve become so I can function in society. But inside the cage… Well, that’s caged no more. I won’t apologize for it, I won’t fight it, I will lean into it, I will revel in it, I will savor it. Finn, you have no idea what I’m capable of inside Hell in a Cell, you have no idea what goes through your soul when that steel door slams shut behind you. But I do. I’ve been baptized inside the cell by the Deadman himself! The cell has become my one friend, my partner, my cathedral of pain. It rewards me for the streak that runs through me.

“You cannot become what you need to become by remaining what you are. Finn, you and I are two men who clearly understand that, so I grasped what you meant when you said that Hell couldn’t handle your demons.” Edge laughs, and says, “The scriptures, they say, ‘Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil!’ Well, I never have. Because I’m the evil in the valley. So leave Finn at home. Bring your demon… To meet the devil. He’d like to meet him.” Edge has a sinister smile, what will happen when the Rated R Superstar and the Prince unleash it all in one final battle?

Rhea Ripley heads to the ring.

Judgment Day is coming for WrestleMania, and that includes the Eradicator going after the SmackDown Women’s Championship. Rhea gets the mic and has the music cut. Fans rally for “MAMI! MAMI!” and Rhea is amused. “Last Friday, Charlotte, she said that I needed to be a champion. She said that I needed to be a star. And y’know, I actually agree with those statements. But the one thing I don’t agree with is living in the past. Charlotte doesn’t wanna accept her future, and that is why she keeps talking about what happened three years ago at my first WrestleMania, when we stepped into the ring one-on-one for the first time.

“Back when I was trying to make a name for myself and earn respect. Now Charlotte, she thinks that she’s the leader of the Women’s Division. But leaders, they actually respect others. And Charlotte, after that match, I knew that you didn’t respect anyone. I knew that you didn’t respect me. And to be honest, I don’t think that you ever will. Because I make you question the respect you have for yourself. When you hear the name ‘Rhea Ripley,’ you question everything. Don’t ‘What’ me, you’re all pathetic.” Fans boo but Rhea smiles. Rhea says that she brings out all the deepest insecurities that Charlotte tries to mask as confidence.

Rhea says that Charlotte knows that every single time they’ve gone to war, Rhea’s gotten up and kept going, because that is what she does. And what Charlotte does is try to keep people down. But not her! Charlotte, you have to admit that it is time. “You’re done! You’re washed. It’s over. It’s over and you have to go home, where you mean absolutely nothing. Because without the WWE, you are nothing.” Fans boo but Rhea says she doesn’t care about Charlotte’s insecurities, or if she respects Rhea. “Because at WrestleMania, I will become a champion, and I will be the biggest star here in the WWE!”

“And Charlotte~… My little Charlotte, when you see me holding your crown above your head… You’re gonna know that all your insecurities are true. I don’t need you to respect me. But you will fear me.” Wait, Damage Control is coming out here now? Bayley tells Rhea, “Earlier, when you were talking about leaders, I was waiting for you to mention my name. Because, Rhea, I do respect you. We all respect you! Anyone that puts Charlotte Flair in her place has the utmost respect from Damage Control. But um, if you needed any tips on how to beat Charlotte, you could’ve just asked your Role Model, because I did beat Charlotte in my first WrestleMania.

“And I’m pretty sure you saw what we did to Trish Stratus! We-” Rhea cuts Bayley off there and says she doesn’t need any help from them. Well, Bayley thought Rhea might say that. Because Rhea has gotten so cocky! Rhea this, Rhea that, everyone is talking about Rhea dominating the roster! Well guess what/ Raw is THEIR show, so DMG CTRL will show her what Bayley means. Rhea laughs. This is HER show? Mate, Rhea isn’t ring ready, but if one of them wants to get her out of her ring, go ahead. Um, well, ding dong, guess Bayley will be the one, since she’s dressed. Then bring it.

Pearce is backstage, he tells the ref to make this official now. The ref rushes out, Bayley VS Rhea is ready to go, after the break!

Bayley w/ Damage CTRL VS Rhea Ripley!

Raw returns and the bell rings for this match to begin. Rhea and Bayley circle, tie up, and Bayley waistlocks. Bayley ducks the elbow, gets a leg, but Rhea gut wrenches! Bayley fights free, goes after an arm, but Rhea shoves her away. Bayley shoves Rhea, and she says, “You think you’re so strong and cool, huh?!” But Rhea shoves back! Bayley pie faces Rhea, but Rhea just gets mad! Bayley wants her to take it easy but Rhea fires off in the corner! Rhea whips corner to corner, Bayley hits buckles hard, then Rhea runs in and fires off more forearms! Rhea whips Bayley into the corner again, runs in, but is put on the apron.

Bayley ROCKS Rhea and HOTSHOTS her! Kai & Sky fire up as Bayley runs side to side to SHOTGUN Rhea off the apron! Rhea staggers, Bayley runs in, but Rhea blocks the daredevil dropkick! Rhea shoves Bayley away, but Bayley grabs an arm to YANK Rhea into the post! Rhea staggers, Bayley storms up, but Rhea SHOVES her into barriers! Rhea goes up, and she CANNONBALLS onto Bayley! Kai & Sky back off, Rhea puts Bayley in the ring, and Rhea pushes Bayley to a cover, TWO! Rhea stalks Bayley, CLUBS her on the back, but Bayley throws body shots. Rhea blocks boots, carriers Bayley out to then RAM her into the corner!

Rhea snapmares, and KAMI-GOYES!! Cover, TWO!?! Bayley survives and Rhea is annoyed, but Rhea drags Bayley up to whip her to ropes. Rhea ROCKS Bayley in the back! Rhea dusts herself off and says this is HER ring. Rhea shoves and CLUBS Bayley again! Bayley staggers, Rhea whips her again, but Bayley ROCKS Rhea back! Bayley CHOPS away on Rhea, puts Rhea in a corner, then runs in, only for Rhea to catch her! Atomic FACEBUSTER! Rhea runs, stomps, and then drags Bayley up. Bayley fights the pump handle, Sky distracts, and Kai claws Rhea’s face! Bayley trips Rhea, high stacks, feet on the ropes! TWO!!

Rhea survives DMG CTRL playing a bit of number games a la Judgment Day, but Bayley hits a SAIDO! Cover, TWO! Wait, here comes Becky Lynch! The Man leads the legendary Lita and Trish Stratus out, with a HUGE bag of popcorn between the three of them. Is the Big Time trio just here to watch the show? We’ll see, after the break.
