PLAY BY PLAY

Ladies and Gentlemen, Elias.

The Drifter is in Cincy, and on Starrcade! Fans are mixed as Elias introduces himself and begins to play. Fans do get into the music, though, and start clapping along. “And I’ve got question for everybody here tonight. Who wants to Walk With Elias?!” Cincy does! And surely everyone wonders, can it get any better? No, it can’t, sorry. But that’s why this is just the start. Right now, welcome a special guest who was at the very first Starrcade and is here now… The Nature Boy, Ric Flair! The two-time WWE Hall of Famer heads to the ring! Ric has his own mic as he joins Elias to a great ovation from the fans.

Ric doesn’t know about the fans, but Ric has been dying to Walk With Elias! WOO~! 35 years ago, Ric was honored to be in front of a crowd at a Starrcade, and he’s honored again to be in front of a crowd at this Starrcade. Elias figures the only thing left is to sing together. This is Ric’s request from Elias’ album, so please silence phones and hold applause- Wait, Nia Jax comes out? As does Tamina, Mickie James & Alicia Fox. These four are scheduled for a 4v4 fight during the show but they’re entering early. Elias likes this interruption, especially when Nia says she and her friends want to walk with him. Well alright. Foxy, calm down over there. Women love to walk with Elias, and Ric loves women in general. And now that they’re all here, let’s all perform together. Foxy, seriously, tune in.

Elias begins playing, and everyone claps along. Alicia has unique dance moves but Mickie digs it. Nia sings along but she’s a bit out of tune… Fans don’t like that. Nia says she refused a record deal to be a superstar, okay? She’s amazing. Elias says that Nia should’ve done what she was supposed to do a minute ago: shut your mouth! Elias and Ric would do that for them but that’s not how this works. So for now, Elias will bring out some friends of his to do it for them.

Eight Woman Tag: Sasha Banks, Bayley, Ember Moon & Dana Brooke VS Nia Jax, Tamina, Alicia Fox & Mickie James!

Yes, The Legit Boss, Huggable One, War Goddess and solo statistician are friends with Elias, and are anything but friends to the four women on Nia’s team. Will they help Elias make Nia and company #DriftAway? Or will the #FaceBreaker treat them like she did Becky Lynch?

The teams sort out and Ember starts against Mickie James. Fans rally behind Ember but Mickie is only annoyed by it. They tie up and Mickie gets the arm. Ember reverses and wrenches, but Mickie cartwheels through. Mickie throws Ember down by her hair but Ember kips up and arm-drags Mickie away. Ember brings Mickie up but Mickie kicks and kicks. Mickie runs but Ember follows to springboard and crossbody! Cover, TWO! Ember keeps on Mickie, tag to Dana. They work together to double suplex Mickie. Dana covers, TWO! Dana whips Mickie and handspring back elbows in. She then scoops and slams Mickie, to drop a handspring moonsault! Cover, TWO! Dana keeps Mickie down and tags in Bayley. Fans fire up but Mickie gets away. Mickie grabs onto Tamina, and tags her in. Fans fire up for Bayley as she circles with the Daughter of Superfly.

Bayley ducks Tamina’s lunge and fires off hands, but Tamina knees her low. Tamina puts Bayley in a corner, then hits a back elbow. Tamina whips Bayley to another corner but Bayley dodges! Bayley runs in for a big knee! She keeps going, but Tamina puts her on the apron. Bayley hotshots Tamina away, then gets a waistlock. Tamina bucks her off and tags Nia, the Samoan Dynasty bulldoze Bayley! Nia soaks up the heat as she covers, TWO! Nia brings Bayley up for a headbutt, then tags Mickie. Mickie stomps away on Bayley, then tags Alicia. Alicia stomps Bayley then snapmares her. Alicia wraps on a thrashing chinlock, but fans rally up. Bayley fights up but Alicia wrangles her back down. Alicia thrashes around more but Bayley still endures. Fans continue to rally and Bayley feeds off the energy.

Alicia puts Bayley in her corner and tags in Nia. Nia teases a headbutt, but wraps her in a chinlock. Fans keep rallying, but Nia throws Bayley down before blasting Ember and Dana. Sasha protests, and Bayley fights back! But Nia scoops Bayley. Bayley slips out and blasts Tamina, then throws Nia into Mickie! Alicia tags in but hot tag to Sasha! Fans explode for The Boss as she rallies on Alicia! She blocks a kick to give a knee! Sasha hits double knees, then double knees again! Cover, but Tamina breaks it. Ember gives Tamina an Eclipse! Mickie hits a flying seated senton, but Dana hits a crossbody! Nia runs Dana over, but then misses Sasha in the corner. Bayley climbs up, Macho Elbow to Nia’s back! But Alicia rolls Sasha, to end up in a Bank Statement! Alicia taps, Sasha’s team wins!

Winners: Banks, Bayley, Moon & Brooke, Banks by submission

Elias’ friends help shut up and shut down Nia’s team! Big things are coming for Bayley and Ember in Mixed Match Challenge, will this momentum help both of them through the Playoffs? And what of Sasha and Dana, will they find themselves back in the title hunt?

Samoa Joe speaks on WWE Starrcade.

“It’s said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result.” Some would say Joe is going insane, because he and Styles have done this over and over again. Lately even Joe must admit the results are basically the same. But that wasn’t right. Maybe he’s not insane, maybe it’s Styles. Because every time they’ve done this, Styles has last a bit of himself each time. Styles is the one expecting a different result each time but he never gets it. So now Joe, who has had a lot taken from him, will be the one taking everything from Styles.

The definition of insanity isn’t doing things over wanting a different result, the definition is being arrogant enough to take Joe on in a cage and expecting to walk out at all. Joe wants Styles to enjoy the time he has, because Starrcade is where Styles is finally put to sleep.

It’s time for a Starrcade edition of Miz TV!

The Most Must-See WWE Talk Show comes to Cincinnati! Miz is honored to be part of this legendary program, that featured classic matches like Ric Flair VS Harley Race, Greg “The Hammer” Valentine VS “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, and even “The Total Package” Lex Luger VS “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes! That match was for the United States Championship, and that same title will be on the line tonight! Therefore, welcome the challenger, Rey Mysterio! The King of Lucha was at the last WCW Starrcade in 2000, but judging by that neck brace, he is still suffering from the attack by the vicious Viper, Randy Orton. And welcome the champion, Shinsuke Nakamura! The King of Strong Style is in far better shape, because he only competes when he deems someone is worthy of his title. And with Mysterio back in WWE, Nakamura has wanted nothing more than such an opponent!

The three sit in the chairs, and Miz hopes the fans are done singing Nakamure’s theme. Miz says it’s nice to see Mysterio is all covered up again, after what Orton did to him. Orton used a chair on that throat! So why isn’t Mysterio home healing? Mysterio says it’s because Starrcade holds a special place in Mysterio’s heart, something Miz wouldn’t understand. This was where Mysterio saw his heroes for the first time. The Nature Boy, the American Dream, The Icon Sting, and someone else who means so much to Rey: Eddie Guerrero! Fans love and miss Eddie, too. Mysterio says it’s so important to be part of history as he becomes the NEW US Champion at Starrcade.

“Uh oh, Shin. He’s name dropping, he’s ready, he’s motivated. The WWE Universe is behind him.” How does Nakamura feel playing spoiler to that at Starrcade? Arcade? No, Starrcade. Oh, Starrcade. That’s the event here and now! Does he not know Starrcade? Nakamura knows what Starrcade is, but he just doesn’t care. Nakamura doesn’t care about Starrcade or about Mysterio. Though he did love watching Orton beating Mysterio up. Miz chuckles, because he also liked it. Mysterio tells Miz to shut up. Miz blames Mysterio for their Survivor Series loss. Really? Miz was team captain and also got beat, so he shares the blame. And when Mysterio’s hand goes up, YOUR mouth goes shut! As for Nakamura, he loves watching Orton beat Mysterio up? Then let’s see you do it right now.

Miz says before we get to that, don’t use his catchphrase against him! Nakamura attacks Mysterio from behind! The Miz calls for a ref so this match can start!

WWE United States Championship: Shinsuke Nakamura VS Rey Mysterio!

Nakamura rips the neck brace off but the referee backs him off quickly. The ref checks on Rey, Rey wants it and the bell rings. Now Nakamura goes after Mysterio with knees! Then he suplexes Mysterio for a gordbuster! Nakamura mocks Mysterio’s pain, but also aims from a corner. Mysterio stands and he gets Nakamura with a victory roll! TWO, and Nakamura swings a kick. Mysterio ducks but gets the other kick! Nakamura drags Mysterio over to a corner and puts him up top. Nakamura backs off, Top Shelf Knee! Mysterio is down on the apron, but Nakamura follows him out. Nakamura scoops but Mysterio slips out. Mysterio kicks Nakamura down then baseball slides! Nakamura hits barriers, and Mysterio gets on the apron.

The Miz checks on Nakamura, and Mysterio leaps after Nakamura, but Nakamura dodges and sends that seated senton onto Miz! Then Nakamura hits Mysterio and puts him in the ring. Nakamura takes his time getting in but Mysterio goes out to shoulder in. Mysterio swing kicks Nakamura away then springboards, seated senton! Mysterio keeps moving, gets a waistlock and then shoves Nakamura. Nakamura runs back but into a dropkick! Nakamura’s on the ropes, and Mysterio builds speed, but Miz drags Mysterio out! Miz attacks by throwing Mysterio into barriers!

Winner: Rey Mysterio, by disqualification; Shinsuke Nakamura retains the WWE United States Championship

Miz feeds Mysterio back to Nakamura and the two of them beat Mysterio down! But here comes the Bulgarian Brute, Rusev! Rusev goes after Miz with haymakers! And clotheslines him out! Then he goes after Nakamura, and throws him out! Lana follows, and she takes a mic. “Cincinnati, you wanna see a tag match?” It’ll be Miz & Nakamura VS Mysterio & Rusev! Fans like the sound of that, and that is what we’ll get! And it makes for a great “Rusev Day! Rusev Day!”

The Miz & Shinsuke Nakamura VS Rey Mysterio & Rusev w/ Lana!

The Miz and Nakamura approach, but Miz leaves Nakamura high and dry against Rusev! Nakamura scrambles away but Miz and Nakamura don’t care. They start up the ramp, but Mysterio and Rusev chase them down! Mysterio drags Nakamura back, and Rusev goes after Miz. The bell rings but the brawls continue. Mysterio and Rusev coordinate to whip Nakamura and Miz into each other. Mysterio dropkicks Nakamura out, and then Rusev heps Mysterio headscissor Miz to ropes! Time to dial it up, but Nakamura blasts in! The ref makes Rusev exit, and Nakamura goes after Mysterio in a corner. Nakamura gives Mysterio Bad Vibrations! They’re made worse by that bad neck. Nakamura then cravats Mysterio and brings him over, for a knee drop! Cover, TWO! Nakamura keeps Mysterio from Rusev and tags in Miz.

Miz laughs it up as he mocks Machka. Miz kicks Mysterio in the ribs but fans are thunderous for “Rusev Day!” Mysterio fights back, then runs, but into a boot! Miz continues to mock Rusev and Machka, then drags Mysterio over. Nakamura tags in and he splits the wishbone with Miz. Nakamura grinds his foot into Mysterio but stops at 4. Miz gets in cheap shots!

Mysterio hits Nakamura, then headscissors Miz into Nakamura’s gut. They’re both on the ropes, DOUBLE 619!! Machka Kick for Miz! Cover, Rusev & Rey win!

Winners: Rusev & Rey Mysterio, Rusev pinning

Mysterio may not have gotten the title off Nakamura, but he and Rusev still make Starrcade a ravishing Rusev Day! Will this win help both Mysterio and Rusev in the hunt for Nakamura’s title? Or will Shinsuke give them both a #Knee2Face in the near future?

Steel Cage Match: AJ Styles VS Samoa Joe!

The Phenomenal One is angry from having lost the WWE Championship to the “New” Daniel Bryan, but the savage and sadistic mind games The Destroyer played are still fresh wounds themselves. Will Styles be able to keep focus on Joe and the steel? Or will Joe finally get one over on the Face that Runs the Place?

Both men enter the cage and the bell rings. They go right at each other, and Joe throws hands and headbutts! Joe elbows Styles down, then brings him up for another headbutt. Fans rally behind Styles, but Joe throws Styles at the steel. Styles stops himself and hits Joe back. Styles kicks Joe’s bad leg, then goes to throw Joe at steel. Joe stops himself but Styles chops him. Styles fires off more but Joe turns it around to CHOP Styles hard! Joe stalks Styles then drives in a knee. Joe runs, but into a dropkick! Styles is on Joe with a buckle bump, then rams in his shoulder. Fans start dueling as Styles snapmares Joe. Styles kicks Joe in the back, and then drops an elbow on his head.

But Joe trips Styles up to catapult him! Styles hits steel, then Joe SUPERKICKS and sentons! Cover, TWO!! Joe grows frustrated, because this may very well be the insanity he spoke of earlier.

Joe drags Styles up but Styles gets him with the Calf Crusher! Styles has Joe and no ropebreaks will help here! Joe endures, taps, Styles wins again!

Winner: AJ Styles, by submission

Joe said it himself, doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result is insanity. And perhaps Joe is realizing it now, as Styles gets him again. Will Joe ever get a win on The Phenomenal One? And as for Styles, has he finally put Joe away for good? Will this win help him reclaim the WWE Championship at TLC?

My Thoughts:

A pretty fun little special. Last year’s WWE Starrcade wasn’t “televised” so it was really great that they realized to do it this year. An hour seemed pretty short for the aired edition, because we know the actual show was likely closer to two. This final cut worked well, one part Raw and two parts SmackDown. Elias was good, Ric was a bit too excited to be out there with the women, but the Eight Woman Tag was still pretty solid. It was basically something you’d see on Raw, and because this was essentially a house show (aka filler) the Faces win so fans can be happy. Miz TV transitioning into the US Championship match that then became a tag match (holla holla) should’ve been expected. At the same time, I bet this means Nakamura defends against Mysterio and Rusev at TLC, with the build to it implying who wins.

Samoa Joe’s promo of “the definition of insanity” was really good, and it really frames his story with Styles. Styles wins again because it’s filler, he’s the Face and he needs to still look strong going towards his rematch with Daniel Bryan. That aside, it was a really fun cage match, and maybe this kayfabe convinces Joe to try for the US Championship regardless of who has it. If Mysterio gets it, Orton will surely be up first, but if Rusev gets it or Nakamura keeps it, I’d love to see either of them VS Joe on the road to Royal Rumble, or even Wrestlemania.

My Score: 8/10

WWE Tag Team Championships: The Street Profits VS Motor City Machine Guns; win and
Six Man Tag: Team American Made VS Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee & Rey Fenix; win(s).

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!

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 as both men dangle off the apron! Both men stand on the apron, and Kaiser CHOPS! Dunne kicks a leg out, STOMPS Kaiser’s hands, then BOOTS him! Kaiser hooks the rope with his legs!

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?
