PLAY BY PLAY

The American Nightmare is here!

And he’s brought Bernard the Business Bear! Cody and his bear head to the ring while fans chant “All in! All in!” for Chicago will be the site of the explosively popular event of the summer. Cody speaks on “the irony that I go by the American Nightmare, when the last six months has been a complete Dream”, given how he is now (the self-proclaimed) Leader of Bullet Club. A banner six months, and a future senator from the great state of Texas, Cody will also be the future NWA World Heavyweight Champion! “But the world is not enough.”

Cody stands here and says that “the time is now.” He deserves his ROH World Championship rematch. It’ll be bittersweet, because at Best in the World, his personal anniversary, Cody doesn’t get 1v1 with Dalton Castle, but a Triple Threat with his friend, The Villain, Marty Scurll. Cody is sure everyone loves Marty, right? “YES!” And speak of the Villain, Marty’s here!

Scurll joins Cody in the ring with Chicago fans going wild. The streamers rain down on the second third of the coming championship triple threat but Cody smugly sneers. Scurll takes a mic and says “y’know something, Cody? You just love to tell everyone how good you are. But y’know what mate, I don’t have to tell anyone how great I am, because they already know it.” And who knows it better than anybody else? Cody himself. Scurll can tell when he looks Cody in the eyes, that Cody’s intimidated. At Best in the World, Cody is going to find firsthand just how good Scurll is. Fans “Woop Woop!” Even though they’re friends, if Scurll has to go through Cody to get on his first ROH World Championship, “then that’s exactly what I’m going to do.” Gentleman’s handshake?

Scurll offers, but Cody wonders if there’s more to it. Scurll puts down the mic and the umbrella, to offer the handshake. Cody says Scurll’s a good guy, and fans chant “Shake! Shake!” They do shake hands, but then Scurll bends the hand! To give it a pat. He also keeps Bernard on his toes with an umbrella strike feint. The Villain plays mind games already, but will he be the winner in the end?

Silas Young speaks.

The ROH WTV Champion is ready!

“Tonight’s the night.” Silas tells Austin Aries that Aries spent the last few weeks “whining and crying” until he got this title opportunity. But tonight, Aries better have also spent that time researching Silas, because Silas studied up on Aries. After Silas wins, he doesn’t want to hear excuses, he wants to hear Aries say, “Silas Young IS the realest man that ever lived.”

Karen Q VS Tenille Dashwood!

Karen may put the Q in Queens, and she may have been the first woman to give Kelly Klein a loss, but she didn’t go as far in the WOH Championship tournament as her opponent did. Tenille put the spotlight on herself when she came to ROH, but the Aussie All-star wants more. Which woman will rise up to head for a shot at Sumie Sakai’s inaugural reign?

Karen gets annoyed by the streams, and claims, “I’M the only superstar here!” She reluctantly upholds the Code of Honor, and barely at that. Fans boo and the bell rings, and Karen ties up with Tenille. Fans rally as Karen and Tenille go around the ropes, and they end up in a corner. Karen has Tenille but Tenille turns that around, and then they break. Fans keep rallying as Karen rushes out, but Tenille reverses her into a wristlock. Karen rolls and kip-up to reverse back. “Who’s the superstar now?!” Tenille pushes Karen down, then dares her to come back. Karen does, but Tenille sidesteps and trips her up with a tabletop. Tenille then high stack covers, TWO. Karen kicks low, then waistlock, but Tenille standing switches. Karen switches back but then Tenille but then Karen. They go around and around, and fans applaud the exchange.

Tenille smiles, giving Karen credit, but then trips her up with a single leg. Fans cheer but Karen is frustrated. Things speed up and Tenille comes back with a tilt-o-whirl into another leg takedown. Cover, TWO, and Karen scrambles to a corner. Tenille lines it up, but Karen rolls out of the way before getting a Taste. Karen claims she’s “too smart” for that, and narrowly avoids Tenille’s baseball slide. Karen slides into the ring, and throws a shoulder out, but Tenille sees that coming and kicks her back. Tenille then turns Karen around for the hotshot neckbreaker. Fans fire up, but Karen trips Tenille on the apron. Karen has control while we go to break.

ROH returns and Karen has Tenille against the ropes as she rakes the back. Karen throws forearms in a corner, then runs in corner to corner to handspring clothesline! She keeps moving, for a back elbow and then a running roundhouse! Fans fire up, they like this. Karen throws Tenille with an exploder, covers, TWO. Fans rally as Karen drags Tenille over for a knee to the ribs. Karen clubs away with hammer fists, then barks at the referee for reprimanding her. She brings Tenille up, snap suplexes her, then boasts. Fans boo and jeer, but Karen keeps on Tenille in a corner. Karen pushes and shoulders Tenille into buckles, then backs off at 3. She snapmares Tenille and kicks her in the back a couple times. She stands on Tenille’s hair and pulls the arms, letting off at 4.

Karen goes back for more but Tenille kicks her away. Karen trips Tenille and tries to turn her over, but Tenille powers her away. Tenille whips but Karen kicks her away. Karen clubs Tenille, then bounces her off the mat. Karen stalks Tenille to a corner, and drags her up for more forearms. She whips Tenille corner to corner, but Tenille dodges and lets Karen hit buckles, before putting Karen in the Tarantula!

Tenille lets go at 4, then drags Karen back up. She whips but Karen reverses and lifts, for the side slam. Cover, TWO. Karen tries again, TWO. Karen curses in Mandarin Chinese out of frustration, then shouts at the ref the same way. Fans rally and Tenille fights back. Karen hits Tenille down, then whips into a corner. Tenille hits buckles then hits the mat, but Karen keeps on her. Karen whips her the other way and just as hard. Karen drags Tenille up again, and whips for a hat trick. She runs in, but Tenille boots her away. Tenille back elbows Karen, then runs to rally with clotheslines. Tenille brings Karen around and throws her by her hair! Fans fire up with Tenille as she runs corner to corner, and gives Karen a Taste of Tenille!

Cover, TWO! Tenille is surprised, but she keeps focus while fans rally again. She brings Karen up in the double underhook, but Karen trips her up and turns her over for the Spring Roll Crab! Tenille endures as Karen bends her back. Tenille claws and drags herself over while fans rally, ropebreak! Karen lets Tenille go, but comes back with stomps and kicks. Karen goes for it again, but Tenille tucks and covers, Tenille wins!

Winner: Tenille, by pinfall

The spotlight is on her again, but Tenille bails out of the ring before Karen can attack again. Can Tenille keep it #AllAboutMe and reach the top?

Meanwhile, Karen takes her frustrations out on buckles, then confiscates a chair to start swinging it like mad! Karen is having a sore-loser meltdown, but she’s only been back for one match. Will she be able to turn it around towards a title shot? Or is this just a sign of things to come?

ROH recaps the vicious feud forming between Punishment Martinez and Hangman Page.

Part one was 4/27/18, Lakeland, FL, when the Reincarnation of the Purple Mist would blindside and beat down the Problem Solver moments before their scheduled match. Part two was 5/11/18, in Toronto, ON, during the War of the Worlds 2018 tour. Martinez was moments from winning the IWGP United States Championship off Jay White, but Hangman would come out to distract him. This gave White the win, but Martinez would come back for revenge later that night when he attacked Hangman just moments before his own match. Hangman would not leave it for their rematch in Royal Oak, MI, as he attacked Martinez in Detroit, 5/12/18. Between the chair shots and the table smashing, Hangman made it very clear to Martinez that he’s not going away quietly.

Given all of this, it is being made official! Hangman and Punishment will meet again, but in the ring, at Best in the World! Who will win this gritty grudge match? Will either man even be able to walk away?

Another Best in the World match has been made!

Yes, after the brutal beating #DemBoyz Jay & Mark Briscoe gave to Matt & Nick Jackson simply to retain the ROH World Tag Team Championships, management had no choice but to grant a rematch. But it won’t be an easy road for The Briscoes, as they’ll have to defend against Roppongi 3K’s Sho & Yoh next week on ROH 351! Will Jay & Mark #ManUp and make it through one defense to then walk into another against arguably the best tag team in the world?

ROH World Television Championship: Silas Young VS Austin Aries!

The Collector of Belts has come home.

The Greatest Man That Ever Lived has been collecting belts far and wide, from DEFY to Impact to World Series Wrestling, and now he’s come back to grab the belt that he’s never held. But the Last Real Man won’t let go of that belt so easily. Can Silas show the A-Double Level means nothing in today’s Ring of Honor? Or will Aries just add another belt to the collection?

ROH returns as Chicago duels in chants for Milwaukee’s two toughest sons. The bell rings the Silas circles with Aries. They tie up, and Silas powers Aries to ropes but Aries turns things around. Aries backs off and Silas finally takes off his shirt, and throws it at Aries! But Aries catches it!

Fans cheer, and Aries goes to throw it, but changes his mind. He just tosses it on the ground, saying no one wants a Silas Young shirt. Aries circles with Silas again, and ties up. Aries gets the waistlock takedown and floats all around, to then cover, ONE. He puts Silas in the crucifix cover, ONE, but grabs Silas in the facelock! Aries goes for Last Chancery but Silas slides under the ropes. Aries honors the break, and Silas gets away while Aries dares him to be a man. Silas takes his time, so Aries lounges on the top rope. Silas slowly returns, and sarcastically applauds for Aries. They circle again, tie up, Silas gets the hammerlock.

Aries moves around and snapmares but Silas stays on his feet. Silas sweeps the legs and covers, but Aries slips out. Aries sweeps and covers, but Silas slips out. Silas Oklahoma Rolls, ONE, and the fans applaud the standoff. Silas shows no respect as he flicks snot and sweat onto Aries. Aries brushes that off while Silas taunts the fans. They circle again, tie up, and Silas gets another armlock. Aries rolls and handsprings to reverse then put on a headlock. Silas powers out, but Aries goes up and over. Aries runs and speeds it up with a cartwheel to then arm-drag Silas a couple times. He puts Silas in an armlock but Silas headscissors. Aries headstands and pops out to dropkick Silas!

Silas gets to a corner, and Arise gives back the snot and sweat flick. Silas rolls out of the ring in disgust, but Aries lets him catch his breath. The ring count begins, but Silas returns quicker this time. Silas shoves Aries so Aries shoves back. Silas puts on a headlock, but Aries powers out. Aries swings but Silas dodges to then shoulder Aries down. Silas gets big handfuls of sweat from his chest hair, and flicks it all at Aries! Aries SLAPS Silas! Then they brawl with haymakers! Silas gets the edge and whips Aries corner to corner, but Aries reverses and back elbows. Aries snapmares, then climbs up, for the second rope elbow to the neck! Cover, TWO, and Silas rolls to the apron.

Aries goes over, and drags Silas up by that chest hair! Aries bumps Silas off one buckle, then the other, then back again. And again, and again, then ear claps Silas off the apron. Fans cheer as Aries builds speed, but Aries runs right into clobbering hands from Silas. The Last Real Man has control while we go to break.

ROH returns as Silas bowls Aries into barriers. Silas tells the ref, “If you don’t like it, count ’em out.” Silas then bumps Aries off the blue chair, and the ref comes out to stop him. Fans rally for Aries but Silas grinds his boot into Aries’ throat. Silas stalks Aries around the corner, then haymakers him into the ring. He slingshots and stomps on Aries, then covers, ONE. Silas keeps his cool, and drags Aries up for more haymakers. Aries hits back, and they brawl. Silas boots Aries but Aries comes back with a forearm. Aries walks over to Silas in the corner, but Silas boots him right in the face. Silas snapmares into a chinlock to grind and squeeze Aries on the mat.

Fans rally again, and Aries feeds off that energy. Aries fights out, then overhand chops. Aries runs, but into Silas’ backbreaker and lariat! Cover, TWO, and Silas grows frustrated. Silas can’t believe fans are still cheering for Aries. He goes after Aries with a full nelson but Aries stomps and elbows out. Silas goes after the full nelson again, but Aries breaks free again. Silas tries a third time, but Aries runs around and reaches for ropes, but just ends up slinging Silas right out of the ring. Aries stands up but Silas returns, so Aries shoulders him and neckbreaker hotshots Silas down. Aries fires up and fans follow, he builds speed to DIVE!

The “Low-pe” hits and fans fire up with Aries again. Aries puts Silas back in, then climbs up top. He takes aim, and hits the missile dropkick. Cover, TWO!

Aries keeps his cool and stands up as fans rally up again. Aries brings Silas up, but Silas powers him to a corner. Silas rams his shoulder in, but Aries clubs his back. They trade chops and forearms, and Silas rams his shoulder in again. Silas whips Aries corner to corner but Aries reverses. Aries runs but into a big boot! Silas grabs Aries, Full Nelson Knee, then fireman’s carry but Aries slips off. Aries kicks low, suplexes, but Silas slips out and kicks Aries low. Silas lifts Aries up again, but Aries slips out again. Aries kicks low again, lifts but Silas slips out again. Silas kicks and lifts, but Aries slips out and onto the apron. Aries tries to suplex but Silas lands on his feet, so Aries lifts Silas in the fireman’s carry. Aries gives Silas a Death Valley Driver to the apron!!

The champion goes down and we go to one last break.

ROH returns once more, and Aries puts Silas in the ring. Cover, TWO! Aries grows frustrated, but he feels he’s getting closer. Fans rally again, Silas crawls to a corner, and Aries runs in, but the dropkick is caught into a fireman’s carry! Silas hits the rolling senton, then headstands for the Plunge! Cover, ROPEBREAK! Silas is shocked, but fans say “This is Awesome!” Silas goes out and grabs his belt, wanting to use it. The referee grabs the belt to stop Silas, but Aries rolls Silas up! TWO, but into Last Chancery!

Silas endures as Aries wrenches him back. He reaches, and gets a ropebreak. Aries is in disbelief now, and so Aries grabs one of his belts. The ref confiscates that belt, too, and then Silas rolls Aries! TWO, and Aries throws hands. Silas returns them and it’s a Milwaukee brawl in Chicago. Fans are on Aries’ side, but Silas keeps pace. They go back and forth, back and forth, then Aries gets the edges. Aries chops and chops, then runs, but the Discus Fivearm is caught into the fireman’s carry! Silas’ spin takes out the referee! Aries escapes again, and hits the Fivearm! Fans fire up, Aries runs and hits the dropkick. Aries climbs up and takes aim, but wait! Out comes Beer City Bruiser, but with Kenny King in pursuit!

The two pals of the two Milwaukee men brawl it out on the outside, but that gives Silas the opening to knock Aries off the top! Aries goes down, and Silas wakes the referee up. Kenny King has finished with Bruiser, but Silas wants to use his belt! Kenny sees that and snatches that belt away. Silas screwed Kenny out of the ROH WTVC before, he’s not letting Silas do it to his friend. Kenny swings on Silas and clobbers him with the gold!

Aries stands up, and Kenny is all fired up. Cover, Aries wins!!

Winner: Aries, by pinfall; NEW ROH WTV Champion

The Belt Collector is victorious, and the Last Real Man is beside himself. Fans chant “You Deserve It!” but wait, a second referee comes out and talks it over with the primary ref. They then talk to the ring announcer, and it seems a change has been made… “Ladies and gentlemen, your attention please.” Because senior referee Todd Sinclair is using his authority as backstage monitor, Austin Aries has been disqualified via interference from Kenny King. Therefore, the decision is reversed, and the real winner, and STILL ROH World TV Champion: Silas Young!

New Result: Silas Young wins, by disqualification; still ROH WTV Champion

If you’re Austin Aries, this is a travesty. But if you’re Silas Young, this is a triumph of justice. Either way, a rare instance when the head referee changes the decision on the field.

Aries and Kenny argue with Todd Sinclair, but Sinclair says Silas retains. Aries doesn’t accept that, so he kicks Sinclair in the balls! Kenny tries to stop Aries but now Aries is choking Sinclair! The Greatest Man That Ever Lived is furious, but taking it out on an official won’t help his chances of staying in ROH. Kenny tries to talk reason into Aries, but fans tell Sinclair “You Deserved It!” Aries still has three other belts, and Kenny reluctantly touches the Impact title to hand it back to him. The good friends high five, but then Aries kicks KENNY in the balls!! Aries is NOT okay with Kenny costing him the title, and he gives Kenny the Greatest Brainbuster! The Greatest Man is not so great, as he puts Kenny in Last Chancery!

Aries leaves his “friend” out cold in the ring, and has fury in his eyes. Will Aries ever return to ROH? Will he pay for betraying the K I N G, who was only trying to help? And what about Jay Lethal’s big announcement!?

My Thoughts:

A solid night for ROH from start to finish. The divide between Bullet Club is growing as Marty Scurll is already questioning the abilities of the “new leader”. He toys with Cody already, this is going to be a fun few weeks leading into Best in the World. Win or lose, these two having a feud all their own will also be great. Karen Q VS Tenille was a great match for WOH, and just as commentary said, this was a great showing for Karen’s return. Karen’s sudden tantrum was a nice touch to her character, and I bet this will become a recurring thing for her when she loses. Tenille moves up in the rankings, as she should, but I sense she’ll have a #1 contender’s match with the likes of Kelly Klein or Mandy Leon before challenging Sumie Sakai.

Great video package for the Hangman VS Martinez rivalry and coming grudge match. That match is going to be intense, and could easily count as a contenders match for the World TV or World Heavyweight title. Young Bucks VS Briscoes at BitW is going to be great, because I’m pretty sure Briscoes get through Roppongi 3K one way or another. Silas VS Aries was incredible, practically worthy of a PPV in itself. The story elements were great, too, and what a way for Aries to turn Heel in the ROH kayfabe. I’m pretty sure this means Aries returns for more matches, namely against Kenny King, but given the link made by Don Callis between ROH and Impact, we could be seeing even more crossover matches between those promotions. The only downside is that I might have to start watching Impact… Or at least start following Ja’ Von’s Impact coverage.

My Score: 8.5/10

PLAY BY PLAY

WrestleMania SmackDown’s going commercial free for the first hour!

Solo Sikoa & Tama Tonga pull into the parking lot.

Solo lets his Right Hand Man handle the bags, but LA KNIGHT ATTACKS! The Mega Star goes after Tama, SMACKS him off some other car, and then SLAMS the door shut on Tama’s hand! Knight gets away before Solo returns, is the WWE US Champion making sure Jacob Fatu can’t stack the deck here in Las Vegas?

Seth Rollins is here!

The Visionary surprises Las Vegas as he’s already here ahead of WrestleMania! Rollins struts his way out in a black ‘n’ white tuxedo with golden roses painted on it, and the fans sing along, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” as he goes to the ring. Rollins revels in the cheers before grabbing a mic. The singing continues, and Rollins tells Las Vegas, “It ain’t Monday, it’s Friday, but I thin it still works. Welcome to Friday Night Rollins~!” The fans cheer and Rollins says he is our host! He is a Visionary, he is a Revolutionary, he is SETH! FREAKIN’! ROLLINS! The fans cheer, and Rollins looks to the WrestleMania sign.

The singing returns, but there are also chants of “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” Rollins decides to reference said CM Punk by sitting cross-legged in the middle of the ring! Rollins even tosses the mic sleeve aside, but now the fans chant for “O T C! O T C!” Rollins says we’ll get to him in a minute. Let’s start with that guy who they were chanting for first. The fans chant “C M PUNK!” again, and Rollins says yes, that’s the reason that guy came back to wrestling, right? Because all the fans chanted his name for ten long years! That’s why Punk came back, right? Except, when CM Punk came back to the ring, it wasn’t a WWE ring.

So did Punk came back because the fans were chanting his name? Or because someone wrote him a big fat check? Rollins says when Punk burned that bridge, like he does every other bridge, Punk did finally come back to the WWE. But was it because of the fans chanting his name? No. It was because they wrote him another big fat check. Some fans actually chant, “BIG FAT CHECK! BIG FAT CHECK!” Rollins adds, “Tell me when I’m tellin’ lies. CM Punk likes to pretend he came back for all of you. CM Punk doesn’t care about you. CM Punk doesn’t care about the WWE. He’s a liar, he’s a fraud, he’s a coward…

“And say what you will about Roman Reigns, Mr. OTC…” The fans chant for “O T C! O T C!” and Rollins says Roman doesn’t even pretend to care about the fans! Roman doesn’t even pretend to care about the WWE! And you can believe that. The OTC only cares about the OTC. Roman Reigns is in the Roman Reigns business. Mr. Private Jet, Mr. Limited Schedule, Mr. Handpicked Opponents. The fans sing “Roman! Roman Reigns~!” Rollins says yes, Roman loves that. He loves when you love him. But Roman knows nothing of sacrifice. Punk knows nothing of sacrifice. Rollins knows EVERYTHING about sacrifice!

But funny enough, this story all started 12 years ago, all with Paul Heyman. That’s the truth. Heyman brought Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose into the WWE to be a shield for CM Punk. Every single night, Rollins sacrificed everything he had in this ring to be that shield. Did he get any of the credit? Absolutely not. “Everyone in the back” wanted the cameras and spotlight on Roman Reigns. It was always about Roman Reigns! Roman Reigns was the next John Cena! Roman Reigns was the next cash cow! Look at Roman, put the spotlight on him! Every single year, this went along.

And in the background, after CM Punk had gone away, taken his ball and gone home, Rollins heard little echoes of “C M Punk” chants. Meanwhile, Rollins was making every show, in the ring every night, sacrificing everything that he had! The fans do cheer that, and Rollins says it all came to a head last year, in the main event of WrestleMania, a knee hanging on by a threat, Rollins’ stepdad at home, dying of cancer… But Rollins was there at the very end to be a shield to make sure Roman Reigns LOST! The fans do cheer that, too! They even chant, “Thank You, Seth!” and sing, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” Rollins soaks it all in before continuing.

“This story between us started 12 years ago, when Paul Heyman brought myself and Roman Reigns into the WWE. And it ends tomorrow night, in the most important Triple Threat match in the history of this industry. And I promise you, I will do exactly what I have done for the past 12 years. I will lay it all on the line. I will sacrifice everything that I have to make sure that this business, this company, this industry, moves forward in the right direction. That’s not a prediction, that’s a spoiler. HAHAHAHAHAHA~!” Rollins has issued his mission statement. Will the Architect finish the story that he’s been writing for over a decade now?

2025 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal!

The tradition to honor the Eighth Wonder of the World continues! Who will make it through the star-studded field to immortalize themselves on the giant trophy?

The bell rings and the brawl is on! The fans fire up for this chaos as LWO brawls with Legado del Fantasma, Pretty Deadly is after A-Town Down Under, and Carlito finds himself the odd man out so he just smiles and watches it all happen. Carlito brings out his apple, but R-Truth takes it and takes a bite out of it! The fans cheer, Carlito is confused, but then Carlito CLUBS Truth into SPITTING the apple at Miz! Carlito whips, Truth reverses and TOSSES Carlito to ELIMINATE him! The fans cheer and Carlito is stunned! Truth tosses what’s left of the apple to him!

Fenix sends Berto up, out and ELIMINATES him! Angel runs up, but Fenix puts him on the top rope!

Angel shoves Fenix away, but he’s kinda stuck. Fenix SHORYUKENS! Angel falls out, Fenix ELIMINATES him, too! Santos says what’s wrong with these guys! Pretty Deadly mugs Tyler Bate, they stomp his hands and give him the Scott Hall fingers. Then they RAM Tyler into the corner, and Kit Wilson UPPERCUTS! Then Elton Prince UPPERCUTS! #YesBoy! DRY MARTI-KNEES! But then A-Town Down Under TOSS Pretty Deadly to DOUBLE ELIMINATE them! But then New Catch Republic goes after them! Kaiser kicks at Dunne, Dunne blocks, and Tyler says Bop up, BANG!

Andrade kicks at Kaiser, but then Santos is on Andrade!

Andrade takes a swing, but santos shoves him into Fenix! Andrade apologizes, but Santos KNEES Andrade down! Santos uses that as a reason for Fenix to trust him, not Andrade! Fenix says okay. But then he TOSSES Santos and ELIMINATES him! Fenix knows a snake when he sees one, but Santos respects Fenix’s own trickery. Wait, Otis picks up Tozawa and AIRPLANE SPINS! Tozawa is a human weapon to clear out space! Otis then ROCKS Andrade, scoops and SLAMS him, then picks Tozawa up again to CHUCK at Julius! But Julius catches Tozawa, hands him off to Brutus, and while Julius JUMP KNEES Otis, Brutus TOSSES and ELIMINATES Tozawa!

Otis is mad now, and he CLOBBERS The Creeds! The fans fire up, then Otis runs to DOUBLE LARIAT The Creeds and himself up and out of the ring, TRIPLE ELIMINATION!! Otis realizes his mistake, but the fans still cheer him on. Miz goes after Nakamura, Kross is after Fenix, and Dragon Lee has Chad Gable! Otis RAMS Julius into the steel steps in frustration! Andrade TOSSES Waller and ELIMINATES him! But then Theory picks Andrade up! Andrade fights free, TOSSES Theory, and he ELIMINATES him, too! The fans fire up for El Idolo, and then he turns around to see Gable. Gable is surrounded by Andrade, Fenix, Dragon Lee, Cruz Del Toro & Joaquin Wilde!

He fights LWO, Wilde RAMS Nakamura from the apron and goes up, but Nakamura KICKS Wilde to the floor and ELIMINATES him!

Dunne DUMPS Kaiser to the apron, but Kaiser pulls Dunne’s hair!

SmackDown shares a snippet of Wade Barrett’s interview with Charlotte Flair.

The full interview will be part of tomorrow’s Countdown to WrestleMania 41, but Barrett says The Queen and Tiffany Stratton have clearly made things personal as of late. There have been numerous verbal attacks, as well as physical. Oh, you don’t say? Yes, Charlotte was even sent home from the arena last week, for her to ultimately show up anyway and attack Tiffany. Charlotte notes that wasn’t the first time something like that happened. Barrett wants to know: why is it this has gotten so nasty so quickly? Charlotte takes a moment, and says she doesn’t love it. They have moved past it. But she has a chip on her shoulder, and if she looks deeper at Tiffany, she can see there’s a chip on Tiff’s shoulder, too.

Charlotte doesn’t love it, but the people are invested now, so if there’s anything that matters most to Charlotte, it’s that people tune in not only to see her, but to see her VS Tiffany Stratton on the biggest stage. This is how we got there, but at the end of the day, getting people invested in something is what this is about. It can be ugly sometimes, but that’s just how you get tougher. The Queen is certainly putting Tiffy to the test, but will it still be #TiffyTime after WrestleMania?

Rhea Ripley is here!

Las Vegas fires up as Mami’s in town ahead of her Mania Moment, the Women’s World Championship Triple Threat. Rhea goes to the ring, grabs a mic, and she says, “Sunday, it marks my sixth WrestleMania. Yeah. And each time, I’ve walked into some sort of championship match. But honestly, this one… This one is probably the most important to me. Because it’s true, I let myself get distracted by Bianca Belair, and I lost my Women’s World Championship right before WrestleMania. That’s my bad. So I could, I’m not going to, but I could be coming out here right now to talk about the last few weeks, complain, moan, make excuses, but nah, I’m not gonna do that.

“Because there’s no point in talking about the past anymore. Sunday, I get back what I want, and I do what I have to do.” The fans cheer that! “Rhea Bloody Ripley is walking OUT of WrestleMania your THREE-TIME Women’s World Champion!” The fans really like that! But then wait! Here comes the current champion, Iyo Sky! The Evil Genius high-fives fans as she goes to the ring to step to Rhea. Iyo has a mic, but Bianca Belair interrupts already! The EST struts her way to the ring, struts past Rhea & Iyo, and grabs a mic of her own. The fans boo, but Bianca brushes that off to say, “Y’all two thought y’all was gonna come to SmackDown, drop my name, and I wasn’t gonna show up?”

Bianca says she was definitely showing up tonight! Because tonight might be her last night on SmackDown for awhile, because at WrestleMania, Bianca walks out the champion! The fans boo more, but Bianca says after what they put her through, she isn’t letting this go any time soon. Wait, is that Naomi!? The Glow gone dark has a mic as she makes her way out here to say, “Hey, B. So, you finally decided to show up to SmackDown. And you ain’t even gonna try and talk to me?” Bianca signs but Naomi says she’s filled up the voicemail box, called her like crazy, texted her, and Naomi knows Bianca got ’em cuz it says, “Delivered.”

Naomi approaches the ring and asks if their friendship means so little to Bianca. Naomi didn’t even wanna do this and have everyone in their business, she wanted to handle it in private. But since Bianca’s gonna go ignore her- Bianca says they’re not doing this, Naomi knows why Bianca isn’t responding because Naomi knows what she did. Bianca said what she said last time, and she meant it. So no, they’re not doing this right now. Oh, Bianca cares about Jade that much? Bianca says it’s not even about Jade! Naomi says Jade wasn’t there for Bianca like Naomi was! And tomorrow, Naomi finishes what she started with Jade! And after that-

Well, why wait? Here comes Jade Cargill now! The Storm storms her way to the ring, and she goes right for Naomi! Naomi runs away, Bianca wants Jade to calm down. Jade says Bianca is choosing Naomi over her now. Rhea says no, Jade, this isn’t about you. This is about- NAOMI SHOVES JADE INTO RHEA! Jade DECKS Naomi! Rhea and Bianca brawl just because, and Iyo stays back. Jade has Naomi on the outside, Rhea and Bianca spill out the side, and producers, refs and security rush out to stop this! Iyo decides to get in on this by going up top! OVER THE MOONSAULT onto the cluster!

The fans are thunderous for Iyo, Naomi scurries away from Jade, and a lot is going down this WrestleMania Weekend! Who will have their Mania Moment and shine in the spotlight?

Team American Made finds Rey Fenix backstage.

Chad Gable mockingly says, “Look who it is! The new luchador! What, you lasted to the final three tonight before you lost? Yeah, that was a good night, through. Not as good as El Grrrande Americano! Tell me, how’d it feel to get eliminated by the greatest-” Dragon Lee storms in and tells Gable to shut up. Gable gets no respect from real luchadores. Dragon and Fenix stand together and Dragon says Grande will lose at WrestleMania. Don’t talk to Gable about WrestleMania! And don’t talk to him about El Grande! But then Rey Mysterio steps in! Rey tells Gable that Grande is gonna learn about real lucha libre.

Gable says Rey doesn’t tell Gable what Grande’s gonna learn! And Rey sure ain’t teaching it! Rey says Gable sounds like he’s still in fight mode. There’s three of them, and three of Rey’s side. Why not a Six Man Tag here tonight? Brutus laughs, but then Gable frowns. Julius says they’re serious. Fenix tells Rey that he likes this idea. The luchadores go to talk with Nick Aldis, will the King of Lucha Libre build some momentum before he faces El Grande Americano?

Tommaso Ciampa grabs the belts, then he POSTS Dawkins! And he KNEES Shelly down! DIY is committing grand larceny but they claim they’re still the rightful champions! The fans boo, will Nick Aldis have to serve some justice?

Nick Aldis is on the phone.

Speaking of the SmackDown General Manager, he’s clearly already addressing the issue with DIY, only to be interrupted by Chelsea Green. The WWE Women’s United States Champion has her Secret Her-vice with her as she assumes Aldis witnessed last week’s travesty. He witnessed that count out loss, if that’s what she means. That IS what she means. And she has a complaint to file. Oh, tell him something he doesn’t know. Chelsea has Alba & Piper serve Aldis with the document. Aldis looks it over, and Chelsea assumes he will rectify the injustice. Aldis tells Chelsea that yes, she is right. There was an injustice, time to take action.

In fact, the three of them are supposed to be in a Six Woman Tag tonight. Forget that, because we’re handling this “injustice.” Zelina Vega will face Chelsea Green again! Great idea! What a stand-up champion! But hey, it’s a singles match, so let’s just have it be only Chelsea at ringside. Thank you. Aldis leaves, Chelsea freaks out and wants him to get back here, but what’s done is done. Will Chelsea just have to make sure she doesn’t lose two weeks in a row to La Muneca?
