PLAY BY PLAY
Seth Rollins is here!
And though he’s still WWE Universal Champion, the #Monsterslayer isn’t Raw Tag Team Champion after he and Braun Strowman lost to Robert Roode & Dolph Ziggler. Rollins picks up the mic and loves Knoxville, Tennessee for being loud! Clash of Champions was a great night, though not really for #Braullins. It no longer matters who is to blame, they lost the tag titles. Then facing each other for the Universal Championship, there’s something everyone needs to know about Strowman. “He is very large. He is very strong, and last night,” Strowman took Rollins to his limits. But in the end, Rollins put Strowman down with the Curb Stomp. But he had to keep stomping a second, a third and then even resort to the Pedigree and a fourth stomp! Rollins admits he doesn’t have to worry about a rematch. Because he couldn’t even celebrate before being attacked! Fans chant “Yowie Wowie!” as Rollins can only describe his assailant as The Fiend.
The Fiend hit Rollins with both the Sister Abigail and the Mandible Claw. Rollins eventually came to when the lights were on and Bray Wyatt was gone. But that’s fine, because now he and Bray will go 1v1 at Hell in a Cell! Yowie wowie indeed. But Bray’s here in his Firefly Fun House! And oh my lucky stars, the Universal Champion and Bray’s “future best friend,” Seth Rollins! Good to see him here. And good to see he’s okay. Really? Bray’s sick and needs some help, but- Ramblin’ Rabbit interrupts. RUN, SETH, RUN! Bray shuts Ramblin’ up before saying there’s no need for name calling. But mistakes happen. Rollins should know, after all. He’s made a lot of mistakes. And yet he’s been forgiven! But just as Bray said last week, friends forgive, but The Fiend never forgets. That’s why The Fiend “said hello” last night. And who knows. He might even have more to say tonight. Rollins glares at Bray on screen, but Bray just smiles and laughs. “See you in Hell!”
Rollins watches the shadows as the Firefly Fun House theme still plays. When and where will Bray send his next message?
Braun Strowman is storming backstage.
The Monster Among Men is in an even worse mood as Charly Caruso asks him a question. What is Strowman planning to do tonight? To make sure whoever is in that ring #GetsTheseHands! Who will be the victim of Strowman’s rage?!
The NEW Tag Team Champions head to the ring!
The GLORIOUS Show-Offs, Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode, are feeling on top of the world after getting the better of Strowman & Rollins at Clash of Champions. But they’re not alone, because the new SmackDown Tag Team Champions join them! The Revival managed to beat the New Day’s Big E and Xavier Woods, making Woods suffer a submission right to his still recovering knee. And now, the four champions meet in the ring to have a #TagTeamSummit. Roode says that when he and Ziggler decided to become a team, no one believed it. Not the fans, not the locker room, not even Michael Cole. And Cole thinks he knows everything. “But take a good hard look at greatness!” The NEW– BRAUN!! The Monster Among Men did say he’d go after whoever was around, and that’s four tag team champions!
The Revival try but fail to take Strwoman down, Strowman JABS Dawson then throws Dash. Ziggler runs at Strowman but Roode retreats! Strowman runs Ziggler over and sees all the tag champs outside. Strowman goes out to run Dawson over! Then Dash! Then Ziggler! Roode runs away again because he has to worry about Rollins! But is this just the beginning of a new chapter for #RoodeDolph VS #Braullins?
The Women’s Tag Team Champions sipping some coffee.
Alexa Bliss doesn’t like going “I told you so,” but she did say they’d beat Fire & Desire. And they did. “Out like yesterday’s trash.” And speaking of trash, Sasha Banks trashes what she can’t have. She said the tag titles meant nothing to her, but Bayley forgives her? Typical. But “Sasha Smurf” and Bayley will see what real friends are like. Cheers to that. But will the current champs be able to survive a match with the original champs?
Six Man Tag: The OC VS Cedric Alexander & The Viking Raiders!
The Phenomenal United States Champion faced and beat the former Cruiserweight Champion, but then proceeded to beat him down with help from his Good Brothers. But now Styles, Gallows & Anderson will once again take on Alexander, Erik & Ivar! Will the OC still be feeling #TooSweet? Or will a new age be born of the raid?
The teams sort out, and Styles starts against Alexander in another go from the last few weeks. Alexander fires off furious strikes on Styles! Styles goes to a corner and the ref keeps Alexander back. Alexander dodges Styles’ retaliation to retaliate more! That enziguri takes Styles down! Alexander whips but Styles reverses, only for Alexander to throw a big knee back! And a Penalty Kick! Styles is rocked but the #EbonyLion is fired up! Alexander has Styles in the corner and fires off, before he tags to Erik. Alexander feeds Styles to Erik’s big knee! Erik roars in Styles’ face, bu Styles flounders to tag in Anderson. Anderson runs in but gets run over! Erik whips, Anderson dodges, but Anderson gets caught. Ivar tags in, Erik slams Anderson, then Erik slams Ivar on Anderson! Cover, TWO!
Ivar drags Anderson up and grinds Anderson’s arm down. Anderson endures, but Ivar clubs away. Tag to Erik, but Anderson gets away. Tag to Gallows, and he stands up to Erik. Erik dares him to bring the fight, so Gallows kicks and clubs away. Erik forearms back! Erik knees Gallows back then whips him corner to corner. Gallows reverses but Erik goes up and over and shows his agility! But his knees miss in the corner, and Gallows throws him out of the ring. Gallows is kept in, so Styles throws Erik into the barriers, and Anderson hits a shotgun boot! The OC takes control as Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Anderson has Erik in a chinlock on the mat. Erik endures and fights his way up, but Anderson knees low. Anderson hits Alexander just because, but then gets Ace Ten Mao! Both men are down, but heading for their corners. Hot tag to Ivar! The Warbeard rallies on the Good Brothers, and flattens Gallows with a splash! Styles baits Ivar in but Ivar still hits the seated senton! Cartwheel clotheslines takes down Anderson! Tag to Alexander and his springboard clothesline hits Anderson! Gallows breaks the cover, then throws Ivar down with the Gallows Choke Slam! But Erik throws Gallows with an exploder! Anderson hits a neckbreaker on Erik, but Alexander mule kicks. Alexander whips, Anderson reverses, but Alexander handsprings to Neuralizer! Anderson wobbles but Styles tags in. Alexander whips Anderson, Anderson reverses but gets a back elbow! Styles springboards, PHENOMENAL FOREARM! Cover, The OC win!

Alexander stands as Styles climbs, but Alexander trips Styles up! Alexander throws big hands and has Styles wobbling. Alexander hops up, throws more fists, and goes way past 10! Fans fire up with Alexander as he sits Styles up, for a SUPER STEIN- NO! SUPER STYLES CLASH!! Styles gets the better of Alexander again! The OC may not be standing tall, but they did win the brawl. Will they continue to run roughshod over Raw?
The FABULOUS Truth got a tour of Tennessee, and the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame.
Truth’s seen some great Halls of Fame, but this one is outstanding! But, he needs something cleared up. The giant ball up top could crush them! How do they dribble it? They don’t… But Carmella recaps the accolades of the University of Tennessee, from 8 national championships, alumni like Candice Parker, and don’t forget the coach, Pat Summit. It’s KAAANE~! Or rather, Mayor Glenn Jacobs. But just between them, how tall were those girls to play with that giant basketball? Nevermind, some mysteries are best left unsolved. Also, Truth only now recognizes who this is. Larry Byrd! No, Truth, it’s Glenn Jacobs. But this is an honor to have the WWE 24/7 Champion in their presence. If Truth has some time, Mr. Jacobs has a limousine waiting for them. Wow, a presidential ride. Any secret service? No… That’s fine. Let’s go!

The Lone Wolf pulls victory from the jaws of defeat! And he goes to the throne, just as he predicted. What will King Corbin do first in his newest reign of terror?
The Street Profits are hype!
King Corbin won’t ruin the mood, because today is Maria Kanellis’ baby gender reveal party! Everyone is so excited to hear the news about the newest Baby Kanellis! Another girl? Mike’s first baby boy? We find out later tonight!
Raw returns to the Baby Gender Reveal party!
Montez Ford gathers everyone around to prepare for the big news. Such a beautiful day to celebrate life! And here is the mother of honor! Maria thanks everyone for being here, and it’s time to reveal the gender of her baby. It’s… A BOY! The bet pool is complete, and Mike has himself a boy! But Maria says we all know who the father is. It’s Ricochet. WHAT?! The One and Only says this is a lie to fire Mike up! Ricochet would never! Well, not ever, just- Mike SLAPS Ricochet! And everyone is upset with Ricochet. Mike and Ricochet will settle things in the ring, but will that clear up the truth? Also Angel Dawkins almost thought Maria would point him out. WHAT?! No no no no, no way he’d do that. But maybe they can have a baby on a pole match? How about Maria on a pole? Isn’t that how they got in this mess in the first place? OOOOH~!
Mike Kanellis VS Ricochet!
Maria’s husband didn’t even bother dressing to have this match, he wants to fight! Ricochet keeps trying to explain Maria was lying, but Mike isn’t listening. Will Ricochet make Mike listen in this match?
The bell rings, and Ricochet dodges Mike’s angry punches. Mike dares Ricochet to fight him, but Ricochet keeps dodging. Mike SLAPS Ricochet again, but Ricochet keeps his cool. So Mike DECKS Ricochet and stomps him out! The ref pulls Mike off Ricochet and Ricochet SUPERKICKS Mike! Ricochet throws forearms and shoulders Mike in the corner. Ricochet bumps Mike and kicks him away. Ricochet springboards and clotheslines Mike down! RECOIL! Cover, Ricochet wins!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
Mike didn’t listen to reason, but he needs to stop listening to Maria. Who else will Maria implicate in the mystery of the Kanellis Baby Daddy?
Raw checks in with Firefly Fun House!
Bray looks at his collection of pictures. Bonjour, Fireflies! Bray is busy as a beaver adding to the Wall of Friends! But… Something is missing. Don’t you agree? Bray will go find some more friends. Who will Bray, or more likely The Fiend, go “say hi” to next?
Maria is ashamed of Mike.
What will it take to motivate him? Of course Ricochet wasn’t the father! But maybe if Mike felt humiliated, he’d man up to defend their child’s honor. But no. So since Ricochet isn’t the father, maybe Maria should reveal the real father. That man is… The real father of her second child is… RUSEV!? The Bulgarian Brute returns, but also without Lana. And Rusev goes to the ring, but Mike wants Rusev to stop. Mike is having an awful day, and now this. Mike doesn’t want to fight. If this is all true, then… At this point, Mike is defeated. Congratulations. Mike goes to run for it, but Rusev cuts him off! Rusev chases Mike, and Mike falls over the steel steps! Rusev runs him over with a lariat! He drags Mike up to throw hard into the barriers! Then into the LED apron! Then into more barriers!
Mike slumps down but Rusev drags Mike up. Rusev throws Mike into the timekeeper’s area! That spot is getting busy tonight… Rusev drags Mike up and into the ring, and stomps about. Mike flounders to his feet, the bell rings to make this a match!
Rusev VS Mike Kanellis!
MACHKA KICK! But Rusev isn’t done asserting dominance as an alpha male. He drags Mike, “RUSEV, CRUSH!!” ACCOLADE!! Mike taps, Rusev wins!
Winner: Rusev, by submission
Maria walks away, leaving her husband for dead. This baby mama drama aside, is Rusev going to dominate like he did in the past?
Raw checks back in with Truth’s tour of Tennessee!
There’s still so much to see as they arrive at the University of Tennessee’s football stadium! The Home of the Volunteers is amazing! Who do they volunteer for, though? Salvation Army? No, Truth, the football team is nicknamed, “The Volunteers.” So no Santa Clauses ringing bells? Mayor Jacob says the football team is great, but what makes Knoxville great is the teachers and firefighters and police officers. In fact, here’s someone Truth should meet. Officer Burns is here and Truth shakes his hand. Wait is he a regular officer or Robocop? A regular officer as sworn in by Major Jacobs. Oh sweet. Carmella, the President sworn in someone as a police officer. And not just that, Burn is also a referee. Wow, working two jobs. Truth has another obligation. Thanks, Mr. President but uh, gotta go! Truth turns and runs into the goal post!
Jacobs and the referee hurry over, Jacobs covers Truth, Jacobs wins!
Winner: Mayor Glenn Jacobs/Kane, by pinfall;Â NEWÂ WWE 24/7 Champion
“I still got it!” Jacobs/Kane says as he runs off with the gold. Will Truth be able to get that title back from a politician? Or will he run into a lot of red tape before getting back at the Big Red Machine?
Rey Mysterio VS ???
The King of Lucha Libre is still going, encouraged by the hopes and dreams of his son, Dominic! But he’s going up against the Swiss Cyborg, Cesaro! And Cesaro has a mic to speak to Rey. “You shouldn’t have listened to your son, Rey.” Cesaro swears to beat the hell out of Dominic the day he finally enters the ring. Mysterio takes offense, and he dropkicks Cesaro off the apron! Then fires off at the ramp! Mysterio throws Cesaro in and the match finally begins, and Cesaro UPPERCUTS Mysterio down! Cover, TWO!
Cesaro takes his jacket off and snap suplexes Mysterio up and over. He drops elbows on Mysterio then covers, ONE! Cesaro throws more uppercuts then chokes Mysterio on the ropes. Mysterio grits his teeth as he catches his breath and fans are on his side. But Cesaro whips Mysterio corner to corner hard! Cesaro drags Mysterio up for more European Uppercuts then stomps him in the corner. Cesaro gut wrenches Mysterio to bring him up, but Mysterio huricanranas Cesaro into a post! Cesaro falls out of the ring and Mysterio runs to DIVE, into another uppercut! Cesaro shakes out the bad arm before he drags Mysterio up. Cesaro looks to end Mysterio rather then the match, and he suplexes Mysterio up. Mysterio fights free and shoulders back! Mysterio kicks Cesaro then runs, to 619 Cesaro in the back!

Mysterio bucks Cesaro off, springboard moonsault to a tornado DDT! Cover, TWO! Mysterio keeps his cool, he’s been through tough matches before. He tilt-o-whirls but Cesaro slips out to BOOT Mysterio down! Cover, TWO! But right into a crossface! Mysterio endures but rolls it back to a cover, ONE! Cesaro catches the kick but gets the enziguri! He wobbles, and Mysterio dials it up! But the 619 is caught! Fireman’s carry, pop-up, trophy lift to gutbuster drop! Cover, TWO!! Mysterio still lives and Cesaro is growing angry.

Cesaro flounders and Mysterio climbs, leaps into a powerbomb, to hit a DESTROYER! Cover, Mysterio wins!!

And the lucha libre legacy continues! Mysterio stops the Swiss Superman from stopping him, but can he keep up the pace?
Bray puts the last nail in the wall.
And his newest addition to the Wall of Friends: Seth Rollins. Bray smiles, but the Fiend is lurking. Will Rollins have to be careful when in the ring with the GLORIOUS Robert Roode?
The Authors of Pain are ready to write a new chapter.
Rezar and Akam reintroduce themselves. “No one has seen us in a match since before WrestleMania.” “There’s a very good reason for that: we haven’t had a match since before WrestleMania.” They’re fighters. They’ve fought their whole lives. So they are here to fight, but no one wants to get hurt. Neither man could make a living in MMA because everyone else was too afraid to fight them. And now the WWE is full of men too afraid to fight them. The tag team division is soft. None of them are men. None of them are man enough to fight. None of them have the manhood to fight. SO this is a warning. The AOP will be the future of the WWE Tag Team Division. And that future will be written in pain. With the WWE Draft coming soon, will both brands be too afraid to recruit these hungry warriors?
Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross VS Sasha Banks & Bayley!

Winner: R-Truth, by pinfall; NEW WWE 24/7 Champion
But Kane grabs Truth by the throat! Truth says he shouldn’t want to do that. This belt is like his job: 24/7! Truth begs the President Mayor Superintendent of Administration to spare him. Kane lets Truth go, and decides to enjoy the show. After all, it is Raw. This is home! But Truth admits, he’s still got it.
Becky Lynch responds to Sasha already!
“The Man and the Boss went to war, and I loved it.” Becky told Sasha this was a cat ‘n’ mouse game. But good ol’ Sasha, brought in a chair, then cried all day long that she got beat with it. Becky even got a $10 THOUSAND fine, but Becky won’t worry about that. She’s after Sasha, and like a cornered rat in a cage, they’ll have their Hell in a Cell match. Becky will break Sasha down.

The Architect became a Monster Slayer, but he is also the Fiend’s “friend.” Will Rollins be able to focus on the GLORIOUS half of the new Raw Tag Team Champions? Or will Roode benefit from Bray Wyatt holding Rollins’ attention?
The bell rings and Rollins circles with Roode. They go around, Roode wristlocks but Rollins wrenches to a hammerlock. Roode reaches back to headlock but Rollins cranks on the arm. Roode elbows out to get the headlock, but Rollins powers out. Roode runs Rollins over but then things speed up. Rollins hip tosses then arm-drags Roode, and Rollins has the armlock. Roode gets up and pulls hair to put Rollins in the corner. The ref counts but Roode knees low and CHOPS hard. Roode whips Rollins but Rollins reverses to scoop for a slam. Rollins drops a knee on the run, then Penalty Kicks Roode in the back! Rollins brings Roode up to whip but Roode reverses to hit a GLORIOUS Kitchen Sink knee. Rollins is reeling, and Roode is on him in the corner for shoulders. The ref counts and Roode lets up to throw body shots instead.
Rollins staggers out of the corner but Roode CHOPS him again. Roode whips but Rollins kicks him away. Rollins clotheslines Roode out hard, then builds speed. But Ziggler is in his way! Rollins chases Ziggler around the ring, but Roode swings on Rollins, only to get sent into the apron! Rollins hops up to leap for a flying knee! Down goes Roode, and Rollins brings him back into the ring. Ziggler is lurking and taunting, but Rollins ignores him, only for Roode to blast him off the apron! Rollins his barriers, and then Ziggler gets a cheap shot! Ziggler laughs while Rollins is reeling. Roode suplexes and hangs Rollins out to dry on the barriers! Rollins is in trouble as Raw goes to one more break.
Raw returns once more, and Roode squeezes Rollins with a rear bearhug. Rollins gets up and elbows out, then CHOPS! Rollins runs but into a tilt-o-whirl backbreaker! Cover, TWO! Another try, TWO! Roode keeps his cool as he drags Rollins up and throws him out. Rollins gets serious now,but he gets a SUPERKICK from Rollins! Roode hurries out but Rollins fights back with haymakers and CHOPS! Rollisn throws Roode into the barriers! Then into the ring, to dodge Roode and hit a Slingblade! Rollins suplexes but Roode slips out to throw Rollins out. Rollins stays on the apron and shoulders in. Rollins springboards, but Roode dodges the knee, for a spinebuster, only for Rollins to slip out! Falcon Arrow! Cover, TWO! Both men are down but stirring. Rollins sits up first as fans rally with “Burn It Down!” Rollins goes to a corner and climbs up top, but Roode stops him with a haymaker.
Roode throws more hands before climbing up. Roode stands Rollins up but Rollins resists, and then slips under! Rollins goes corner to corner for a BUCKLE BOMB! Mule kick, CURB STOMP! Cover, Ziggler interferes!!
Winner: Seth Rollins, by disqualification
Ziggler rains down rights on Rollins! Then rakes his eyes! Before throwing more rights! But Rollins fights back! Rollins and Ziggler scrap all over the ring, but here comes The OC?! They want to assert dominance but Rollins fights them all! SUPERKICK from Ziggler! Roode & Dolph have helped The OC, so the OC will help them. MAGIC KILLER for Rollins! Styles drags Rollins up, and he wants the Clash! Styles HITS Styles Clash! But that’s still not enough, all five men stomp away on Rollins. They mug Rollins with big hands and kicks, each getting a turn. Ziggler SUPERKICKS Rollins down again! But wait, is that… KANE!? The Big Red Machine is here, and he decimates #RoodeDolph! Then he hits Anderson, Styles and grabs Gallows for a CHOKE SLAM! Anderson staggers up and so does Styles. They both get grabbed, for a DOUBLE CHOKE SLAM!
Knoxville cheers on their monstrous mayor as he stands tall! But wait! Just before Kane can summon his hellfire, the lights start going out! And it is… THE FIEND IS HERE! Kane tries to fight but The Fiend has him in the Mandible Claw!! The Fiend smothers the monster!And then, he eyes Seth Rollins! Rollins crawls to a corner as The Fiend creeps closer…! The Firefly Fun House theme gets warped a dozen different ways. Will Hell in a Cell the beginning of Rollins’ end?
My Thoughts:
Well that was quite the Raw to follow Clash of Champions with. It wasn’t perfect, had some parts that dragged, like the Lacey VS Dana match. It just seems rather odd that they’re trying to make Lacey VS Natty the Raw Women’s B Story. Lacey should’ve moved on from Natty to take on Sarah Logan. Now that would be something, since Sarah can come in as a Face to match the Viking Raiders, and it’s a perfect culture clash since Sarah being a country girl and modern day viking, she is definitely not what Lacey would consider a “lady.” Then there was just classic Vince cringe in how supposedly, Rusev is the new baby daddy and Mike is just a broken man. And not even in a way that can be compelling. Corey straight up called him a “beta cuck” on commentary. Rusev looks incredible, at least, but this just kinda sucks for Mike, and it’s going to be really hard to sell Mike climbing back up to beat him to somehow win Maria back.
Cutting those things out, everything else was pretty good. It was great to see Kane back on TV, and it’s great that he can lay claim to being one of the many 24/7 Champions, but naturally Truth gets it back, mostly because he’s the best 24/7 Champion ever already. He really does still have it, especially in the comedy department. Then he gets in on the story of Rollins as he goes against Roode, Ziggler and the OC. The OC are rolling, but I wonder if they get moved around in the Draft. Perhaps the Draft can put them on SmackDown so that they can bring Finn back into the fold, and also just so they can perhaps have programs with The New Day on a regular basis. But while Kane decimates them and #RoodeDolph, it was actually a perfect move for The Fiend to go after him. I thought for a moment, the Fiend would weirdly save Rollins since Rollins is a “friend,” but this was just as good. Fiend creeping on Rollins and the Fun House theme getting demented was perfect to end the show on, and I personally do hope The Fiend takes the title at Hell in a Cell as WWE moves deeper into the Fall.
There was slight disappointment in the King of the Ring results, but that finals match was great! Fans are really getting behind Gable, but in the end, we have King Corbin. I suppose it’d be almost too cliche by now for Corbin’s ego to cost him, so at least now he has something no one can take away from him. Though, I can’t see how this is going to help, either. The midcard titles are both held by Heels, and the Universal Championship is called for. Will the Draft move King Corbin to SmackDown for him to not win the world title? If Gable had won, he would’ve gone to SmackDown to be crowned and then challenge Nakamura for the Intercontinental Championship. But maybe someone steps up to Corbin during that coronation ceremony and we have Corbin’s first meaningless feud as king. Mysterio did good against Cesaro tonight, but I feel like his age is starting to catch up to him, because that wasn’t as fast of a match as I expected. I’m thinking with NXT coming to TV, his story with Dominic can get going so that we see Dominic’s WWE debut alongside Mysterio soon.
The story of the NXT Horsewomen is going great, though slightly off target of what I expected. Bliss-Cross VS Bayley & Banks was a really good match, though I hope Alexa’s bad leg is more kayfabe than shoot. Bayley and Banks win to stay strong going towards the next phase with Charlotte and Becky, respectively, but I was really hoping there would be a Women’s Tag title curve ball thrown in. For now, Becky VS Banks II at Hell in a Cell IN the Cell is going to be great, and I expect Charlotte and Bayley will have their own great rematch probably outside of the Cell. I suppose the Women’s Tag titles can circle back to the IIconics since they’re the only other Heel tag team on the main roster, but clearly Vince’s lack of concern for the Women’s Tag Division is showing.
My Score: 8.3/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Nick Aldis is in the ring.
The fans already chant for “RANDY! RANDY!” while the SmackDown General Manager says, “Ladies and gentlemen, last week on SmackDown, we witnessed a number of important moments, a number of memorable moments, a number of viral moments. Well, folks, I’m here to address one moment in particular. I wonder if you can guess which one that is.” The fans cheer, and Aldis says he has been instructed to “maintain my professionalism,” so he will do just that. With that said, Aldis would like to invite out Randy Orton. The fans cheer that, and then here comes The Viper! Seattle sings along with Voices as Orton goes to the ring.
The fans again cheer on “RANDY! RANDY!” while he looks up at the WrestleMania sign. Orton has a mic, and he tells Aldis, “I can tell by the look in your eyes, Nick, that you took last week very, very personally. Now hear me out, you can’t expect me to believe that you didn’t see yourself eating an RKO at some time in your future after last year, a year or so ago, the same thing happened. I paid a fine, and what’d I do, Nick? I paid double on that fine in case something like last week would happen again. It happened again, I paid in advance, and I think that we are even.
“The reason why I really wanted to speak to you, Nick, is because of the fact that there is not a match on the table at WrestleMania 41 for me.” The fans boo that, but Orton tells Aldis, “This is a very important WrestleMania for me. This will be my 20th time competing at WrestleMania. I need this to happen. I need you to do your job, I need you to make me an opponent. And I can guarantee you that I will be in Vegas. I will be all warmed up, ready to go, I will have my gear on, and I need you to give me a match. I don’t care what it takes. Maybe you lose the suit for a night and you gear up, too?” The fans like that idea!
Orton says whatever it is, he needs a match at Mania. Aldis asks if Orton really thinks this is about the money, about that 100 grand. Aldis knows Orton knows that WWE is doing record business, and Orton is a major part of that. Aldis is fortunate to be part of that. He busted his ass for 20 YEARS just to be here in this company. The fans are a bit torn on that, but Aldis says he doesn’t need Orton’s money, he needs Orton’s respect. The fans chant “R K O! R K O!” Orton says Aldis needs his respect, but funny enough, he’s got it. But if Aldis doesn’t deliver on a match for Orton next week, he can’t promise he’ll apologize to Mickie James for what he’s gonna do.
The fans are intrigued, but then Solo Sikoa makes his way out here?! Solo has Tama Tonga by his side, and a mic in hand. Solo tells Mr. Aldis, “Can you please tell Randy to get outta the ring, stop embarrassing himself. Okay? Don’t nobody wanna hear you cry, Randy. ‘Oh, I’m not going to WrestleMania~! I don’t have a match!’ WHO GIVES A CRAP!?” The fans boo but Solo says it is over for Orton! And does he know why? Because he’s the past. And next week, LA Knight is going to end up in the same boat as Orton. Because at WrestleMania, the Samoan Werewolf, Jacob Fatu, is walking out as the NEW United States Champion!
And Orton…? Orton will be sitting at home all alone. Orton says he’ll be “all alone?” That’s funny. What’s funnier is that Solo has the balls, him and “YEYEYEYE” Tama combined, to come out here and interrupt Orton while he’s talking. While Orton is, for the first time in his career, being diplomatic about business. The balls! The voices have been knocking, and the fans know why! He has all this pent up aggression! So what they’re saying now is for Solo & Tama to get in this ring so Orton can show how to whoop two Samoans’ asses! Seattle is all fired up, but Solo & Tama do go to the ring. Orton watches, then he CLOBBERS Tama!
Solo gets in, Orton fires kicks and UPERCUTS! Tama steps in but gets caught! Only for Solo to CLUB Orton! The fans boo as Tama & Solo mug Orton in the corner! But here comes LA KNIGHT! YEAH!! The US Champion fires hands on Tama, but then Solo storms up! Knight gives Solo some shots, too! Orton gets Tama, and now Orton and Knight take it to the rogues! Knight BOOTS Solo out, Orton UPPERCUTS Tama! Solo & Tama regroup outside, but Solo has Tama stand down. Knight grabs a mic to say, “Again, and again, and again, it’s the same damn thing with you guys! But I tell you what, you speakin’ my name? NAH NAH!
“You talking about WrestleMania? I hope your boy, Jacob, is watching, cuz what I just did is I took my name outta your mouth, and I put my fist in it! YEAH!” The fans fire up, and Knight says he knows Orton didn’t get enough. Knight knows Knight didn’t get enough! So if they can’t get it, then if they’ve got a tingle in their loins, it is them two and these two! Aldis, how do you feel about that? He does feel good about that! The fans like it, too! Knight says that’s a YEAH! That means y’all gonna fall to the Viper and the Mega Star, with everybody saying, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!!” Then will there be a BFTÂ and an RKO in Solo’s near future?
Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez are ringside.

Liv & Raquel are no longer happy as the “not a real team” just won this gauntlet by going wire to wire! But Bayley & Lyra aren’t backing down, will they take those titles at WrestleMania?
Charlotte Flair attacked Tiffany Stratton in the parking lot!
Caught on film by a fan, The Queen’s apparent response to last week’s comments is to try and end #TiffyTime before WrestleMania! Charlotte has since been escorted off the property, suspended for the night. How violent is the WWE Women’s Championship match going to get with tensions running this high?
Damian Priest is here!
Seattle fires up for The Archer of Infamy as he makes his way to the ring. The news went out today that Priest and Drew McIntyre will have a WrestleMania match, and it will be a Sin City Street Fight! WAIT, McIntyre attacks Priest from behind! McIntyre throws Priest around, then throws down fists! McIntyre DRIBBLES Priest off the LED board again and again! Producers, referees, and security rush out here, and the one-eyed Scottish Terminator grins as he lets off of Priest. The fans are torn while Priest is helped to his feet. Priest can barely stand but security helps him to the back while McIntyre just watches from the ring.
McIntyre grabs a mic to ask, “Are we starting to see clearly now? Society only moves as fast as its slowest member, and it took a few people awhile to catch up. But everybody can see as plain as day, Drew McIntyre only tells the truth, and every action is justified! Including dropping his stupid ass!” The fans are torn, but McIntyre storms around some more. “That parasite has benefitted every time I was screwed. He would never face me like a man, until this week, when he agreed to face me face to face cuz I’ve got one eye. Then he challenged me to a match at WrestleMania! A Sin City Street Fight, cuz I’ve got one eye!
“And y’know what? I still accepted, cuz that’s the kind of man that Drew McIntyre is!” The fans are torn on that, but McIntyre says this is a match a year in the making. Priest wants to live forever? Well, McIntyre will make it so no one forgets Priest, because he’ll give Priest the beating of a lifetime at WrestleMania! There is more! Seattle, you wanna know a little secret? They do! “Wolverine here’s got some good news.” McIntyre takes off the eye patch, he’s just fine! McIntyre says he’s 100% cleared, and that means at WrestleMania, Priest is 100% screwed! But speaking of, Priest storms his way back out! Security wants him to stop, but he just CLOBBERS them all!
Priest runs to the ring, and he CLOBBERS McIntyre! The fans fire up as Priest throws hands, then he puts McIntyre in the ring for more! McIntyre shoves Priest, Priest dodges and LARIATS! Priest then runs and ELBOWS McIntyre in a corner! Then he LARIATS McIntyre up and out of the ring! Priest goes out, brings McIntyre up, and SMACKS him off the steps! Producers and refs get in there, but Priest tells them to back off! McIntyre CLAWS Priest’s eyes! McIntyre grabs the steel steps and pulls them apart! He CLOBBERS Priest with them! Priest is down, refs and producers step in, but fans are losing their minds over that impact!
McIntyre seethes, and he pushes people aside to get Priest up! McIntyre brings Priest to the steps, underhooks, FULL METAL FUTURE SHOCK!!! Double-edged but McIntyre just feeds off that pain! McIntyre looms over Priest, looks him in his glossy eyes, and yanks away Priest’s necklace! McIntyre holds up the Rosario, is McIntyre going to pray he can do this all again in Sin City?
DIY critique last week’s match.
Johnny Gargano points out when Tommaso Ciampa’s head hits bare steel. That is an illegal use of turnbuckle, back and to the left, DIY got screwed! Gargano blames Charles Robinson the referee, he blames Nick Aldis, he blames everybody else! Ciampa says all those guys are just puppets! DIY is NOBODY’S puppet! This is all a CONSPIRACY! A conspiracy to screw DIY out of the titles! Pretty Deadly watches this, they whisper, but they “agree” that DIY is absolutely… out of their minds! Since losing the titles, DIY has gone crazy! Ciampa asks if they’re blind! Are they not seeing what they’re seeing!? Back and to the left!
Elton Prince says just look at all this. They’ve stepped in a rabbit hole. Desperation is not a good look on DIY. Kit Wilson says for them, #NoBoy. They head out, and Motor City Machine Guns step in. Chris Sabin asks if they heard the word, “Conspiracy.” DIY is ridiculous. But keep coping, because while DIY is worried about last week, MCMG is focused on next week. MCMG gets their shot on WrestleMania Eve SmackDown against The Street Profits. Alex Shelley says they worked their asses off to get here, they won the tag titles in three weeks, only for DIY to screw MCMG out of them, so no… No conspiracy, this is karma.
MCMG heads out, DIY continues to obsess, but will the only truth be that MCMG and The Profits are going to bring the smoke?
Rey Fenix VS Berto w/ Legado del Fantasma!
The Immortal Firebird made his WWE debut last week, but not everyone was impressed by the elite level of lucha libre Fenix put on display. However, if Berto is to impress Santos Escobar, he’ll have to do this alone as Santos y Angel are heading back to the back! Will Berto show his own impressive lucha libre? Or will he learn what it is to #ANIMO?
SmackDown returns as Fenix makes his entrance. The bell rings and the two circle. The fans rally, the two tie up, and Berto headlocks. Fenix powers up but Berto holds on tight. Fenix rolls Berto, ONE, but Fenix ghost pins, TWO! Fenix kicks low, fires hands, then runs, but Berto LARIATS! Berto snarls while fans boo, but Berto CHOPS! Berto whips, Fenix reverses, then somersaults, but Berto catches Fenix to a fireman’s carry! Fenix fights free, clinches, HEADBUTTS, and then drags Berto down, rolls him around, ghost pin! TWO! Fenix SOBATS, KICKS, but Berto ducks a roundhouse to ENZIGIRI!
Berto puts Fenix in a corner to ROUNDHOUSE! The fans boo but Berto stomps a mudhole. The ref counts, Berto stops at 4, but then he digs his boots in. The ref counts again, Berto steps off at 4, and he whips corner to corner. Fenix stops himself short, ELBOWS Berto back, then goes u, only for Berto to SHOVE him to the apron! Fenix tumbles, Berto builds speed, and Berto FLIES! Down goes Fenix and Berto is all fired up! Seattle boos but Berto talks trash on Fenix, and SmackDown goes picture in picture.

Berto drags Fenix up and suplexes, but Fenix knees him into a cradle, TWO! Both men stand, Berto BOOTS Fenix down! Berto cools things down but Fenix bails out. Berto pursues, eggs the fans on, then he storms up to GAMANGIRI Fenix against barriers!
Fenix sputters, but Berto looms over him. Berto drags Fenix up, puts him in the ring, then covers, TWO! Berto clamps onto Fenix’s arms for a motorcycle stretch. Fenix endures, fights around, but Berto just powers him back down. Fenix still fights, fires body shots, but Berto ROCKS him! Berto whips, Fenix KICKS, and Fenix runs, only for Berto to scoop and BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Fenix stays in this and Berto grows frustrated. Berto paces, then he scuffs Fenix. SmackDown returns to single picture and the fans rally up. Berto whisp Fenix to a corner, runs up, but into a BOOT! Berto comes back, Fenix dodges, Berto hits buckles!

Winner: Rey Fenix, by pinfall
Two weeks in a row, two fast ‘n’ furious matches in a row, and Fenix is on a hot streak! Santos returns to help Berto to his feet. Santos says that’s alright, but now he sees what Fenix is all about. Santos shows Fenix respect by helping him to his feet. Fenix is wary about this, but Santos wants Berto to shake Fenix’s hand. Berto does that, though rather reluctantly. Los Garza storms off, Santos shakes Fenix’s hand, but are there strings attached to The Emperor of Lucha showing respect?
Backstage interview with Roxanne Perez.
Byron Saxton is outside Nick Aldis’ office as he talks with The Prodigy. What exactly brings Roxie to SmackDown tonight? She says since Ava Raine won’t give her an answer on Stand & Deliver next Saturday, Roxie is taking things into her own hands. As the runner-up to this year’s Women’s Royal Rumble, Roxie would gladly compete for the WWE Women’s Championship, seeing as how she’s a real professional. Roxie is 23 years old and ready to steal the show, as clearly Tiffany Stratton can’t handle the pressure. But Tiffany storms in and asks if Roxie is seriously talking trash. Roxie should be the last person to do that.
The way Tiff sees it, Roxie could learn something from her. Uh, what could Roxie possibly learn? How to put on a fake little “helpless Tiffy” act? Roxie saw through Tiff before, and she knows Tiff’s true colors. Let’s just hope it doesn’t cost Tiffy the title. Well at least Tiff’s not the one coming to SmackDown begging for a match. Roxie says she’ll gladly watch Charlotte rip Tiff’s little Barbie head off. Aldis steps out of his office and wants them to calm down. Roxie will gladly take Tiffy on before Charlotte does. Tiff says if Roxie wants a fight, then Tiff will gladly share the spotlight Roxie so desperately wants, tonight! Right, Nick!?
Aldis says hold on. It has been quite a day. He will consider it. But in the meantime, they both need to cool off. Tiff storms off, Roxie mockingly waves tootles. Will we get Princess Tiffy VS Prodigy Roxie this close to WrestleMania Weekend?
WWE takes a look at the friendship of CM Punk and Paul Heyman.
They first met back in 2005, when Punk first walked into OVW. The Wise Man knew that Punk wasn’t the “next [insert name here],” he was the first CM Punk. He knew even then that “This was the guy.” And once the fans saw it, the whole game would change. Punk knows he owes his whole career to Heyman. The Paul Heyman Guy would becoming WWE Champion, prove he was Best in the World, and everything else Heyman predicted. Heyman has been a friend, teacher, mentor, brother even, and Heyman says he admires Punk more than anyone else in this entire industry. But then in 2013, Punk felt he had to leave.
Punk guarded himself from a lot of people he met and became friends with in the WWE, and Heyman was no exception. And after 10 years away (a few of those years in another company), it was the second coming of the Second City Saint. WarGames, the WrestleMania main event Triple Threat, and now the favor… These two are back together again, whether Roman Reigns or Seth Rollins like it or not. But we also saw how Rollins almost ended that all just last Monday Night Raw. How will the Visionary saying Heyman owes him something derail Punk’s WrestleMania moment?
Chelsea Green checks on the Secret Her-vice.
They’re in medical, and she shouts through the door that she needs them to get better right now because she is literally about to wrestle up next. Zelina Vega smiles as she walks by, and mocks the tears. Zelina says the gauntlet match was so hard on Chelsea’s girls. Now she’ll have to do this all on her own like a grown-up! What’s she ever gonna do? Well, time to see what kind of champion Chelsea really is. Bye~! Zelina makes her way to gorilla, Chelsea panics and says she needs Piper & Alba, no matter what condition they’re in! Is The Green Administration about to fall apart at the seams?
Chelsea Green VS Zelina Vega!
SmackDown returns as Chelsea makes her entrance, alone. The bell rings and Chelsea throws her puffy skirt at Zelina! Chelsea TACKLES Zelina, throws down hands, then dribbles Zelina off the mat! Chelsea lets off to shout for Piper & Alba, but they’re not coming. Zelina rolls Chelsea up, TWO! Chelsea DROPKICKS Zelina down! Zelina tumbles out, Chelsea pursues, and THROWS Zelina into the barriers! Chelsea drags Zelina up, fireman’s carries, and SNAKE EYES Off the desk! Chelsea puts Zelina in the ring, shouts for her security detail, but the ring count is climbing! But it’s TEN as Chelsea slides in! Zelina wins!!
Winner: Zelina Vega, by count-out
The fans boo, but Chelsea is angriest of all! She let her anger get the better of her, and now she’s lost! Zelina says next time, it’s for the title! Will we have a change of administrations in the near future?
Legado regroups backstage.
Santos tells Angel that he cannot say this enough! That was the kind of performance he needs out of Legado! But Berto, you said Fenix was a flash in the pan, and a flying lizard? All Santos has to say right now, he’s extremely disappointed in Berto. Santos tells Angel that they’re going to go find Fenix and properly congratulate him on a job well done. Angel pats his cousin on the shoulder, but he follows Santos. But then Andrade steps in and he tells Berto that was a good match. Andrade offers a handshake, but Berto doesn’t take it. Andrade knows Berto is upset. Fenix is a great wrestler, but so is Berto!
Andrade says Berto has heart, so he should keep his head up and be proud. Berto tells Andrade to mind his own business. Berto storms off, but could El Idolo be right about Santos not appreciating his team?
Naomi speaks.
“Leech. Scum. Opportunist. There are so many words that describe you, Jade. But the one word that fits you to the core, is snake. Had I not pushed you off that ledge and onto that windshield, HAHAHAHAHAHA…! I know that it would’ve eventually been me. Once I got you out my way, I took my rightful place as champion. Bianca and I grew an even stronger friendship. But now that you’re back, Bianca won’t even LOOK at me! But it’s okay. Because there’s no more of this fake loyalty. I’m doing what’s best for me, and I’m gonna get mine. At WrestleMania, I strongly advise you to proceed with caution.”
Jade Cargill responds.
“Naomi, you thought that you could weather the storm by ducking ‘n’ dodging me. But now, the moment is here. Time has run out. I’m not just angry. I’m pissed. You came at me because you thought you knew what was best for me? You don’t. You tried to take me out because of your own insecurities. Lemme ask you this: What happens to a star when it starts to fade? They try to steal the shine from someplace else. That is what this is about. The Glow is fading. And Naomi, you’re trying to stay relevant in each and every way. That is what this all is about. You were jealous that I came in with so much star power, so much aura, so much glow.
“And this WrestleMania, I’m not a rookie anymore. I’m your biggest threat. Because a storm is coming.” Jade and Naomi have drawn the battlelines, who will survive when they put it all on the line?
Cody Rhodes is here.
Awaiting him in the ring are various iterations of THE WWE Championship, from the earliest blue leather strap, to the “Winged Eagle,” to the Undisputed WWE Championship of the early 2000s, to even the Spinner Belt that John Cena first created… The fans sing along with Cody’s song, “WHOA~ OH~!” and Cody gets his pyro. Cody continues to the ring, he high-fives the front row, and “WHOA~ OH~!” we get the second pyro. Cody steps into the ring with his Undisputed WWE Championship, then places it on a pedestal in the center. Cody picks up a mic while the fans cheer, and Cody gets the fans to get a bit louder.
The fans sing “CODY! CODY RHODES~!” and Cody revels in it. Cody then says the fans have him all flustered. He thanks Seattle, they’ve always been good to him. Whether it is the sold out arena here tonight, or when Cody was in Defy. “Now, this is the tangible definition of realized potential. It is the denotation of excellence, the metric that stands. This right here (the current Undisputed WWE Championship) simply says, ‘You are the best wrestler in the world.'” The fans cheer that! Cody says he is blessed to be able to carry this and its mighty weight. But it won’t always be Cody. That is what WrestleMania has become.
This is not just a match between two men. It is about the right to keep this title at home. It is about the next 20 champions. Whether that is one of Shawn Michaels’ NXT kids watching WrestleMania intently, or WWE ID talents! Maybe there’s a young man in Seattle here tonight, wanting to grow up and wear this one day! It is about those champions! Then there is one man trying to take all of that away. The fans boo, because that man is John Cena. The fans duel, “Let’s Go, Cena!” “CENA SUCKS!” Cody continues by saying, “John Cena has neglected to make Seattle part of his farewell tour.” The fans boo that!
Cody says Cena will be on SmackDown for Las Vegas. It would be cowardice on Cody’s part to rebuttal Cena’s remarks from London. One thing Cena said that stuck with Cody is that Cena referred to the placement of Cody’s tattoo. Cena claimed that Cody’s neck tattoo makes him a “common fan.” The fans boo that, but Cody says, “So what?” Cody has this tattoo for the same reason he wears the suit. It isn’t because Cody thinks he’s somebody, it is because Cody wants to BE somebody! Cody goes down the line with the titles now. “Is that somebody who can sell out the world’s most famous arena 188 times to the rhythmic chants of his own name?
“Is that somebody who can sit up each and every night, even with broken ribs, and become WWE’s Phenom? Is that somebody who can set the world ablaze with Latino Heat?” The fans chant “EDDIE! EDDIE!” but then Cody comes to the Spinner Belt… “Or is that somebody who can carry a company on his back through good times and bad for 10 years? John Cena… John Cena looks at this and considers it a bad thing. I don’t. I see it as a man who was trying to break the wheel. A man who was trying to find himself. Does that sound familiar?” Cody brings up how Cena claims Cody doesn’t know himself, doesn’t present himself authentically.
“Here’s what I do know, John: I’m the WWE Champion and you are not!” The fans cheer that! Cody says Cena is always teaching and preaching. Maybe this is the one time Cody can teach Cena something. Something that Cody saw his father, Dusty, struggle with as a career Babyface, and it is very simple. “John, they are allowed to love somebody else. Hell, I call myself the Captain here, but I’m part of a roster that has CM Punk, Randy Orton, Jey Uso, Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, just to name a few! We make each other better!” The fans fire up for that! Cody says he found himself with the unenviable task, but it is in his nature to want that task.
Cody has to halt history with Cena’s record setting title win so that we can have history at all. Cena is a man of his word. Cena says he’s leaving, he means it. He says he’ll take the title into retirement, he means it. So here’s some honesty from Cody. Cody will tell Cena the same things he told Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns: “I do my best work when I’m backed into a corner. I don’t flinch, I fight, I wrestle. That’s right, John, the bell is gonna ring! And when it does, and this is over, I leave you to this ring to have your moment. Your moment to say goodbye.
“It would be clever for me to tell John, ‘Your time is up, my time is now.’ But John, you’ve known your time is up for quite some time, and that’s why you did what you did. And one day, MY time will be up soon. But until then, this is timeless. And THIS stays home. This stays with US!” The fans cheer as Cody holds up the title. Will nothing, not even a desperate and angry John Cena, stop Cody now?
Backstage interview with The Street Profits.
Byron Saxton is with Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins and brings up that next week, WrestleMania Eve SmackDown, they defend their WWE Tag Team Championships against Motor City Machine Guns. How are the Profits feeling about that showdown? Ford says Profits, Motor City, Vegas, WrestleMania Weekend. They like MCMG. But they saw that video where MCMG said they don’t care about the gold jewelry, the checks, the grills, the reality shows. But quite frankly, you can’t care about things that you don’t have. But what else don’t they have? These titles.
Dawkins says MCMG has been all over the world, 20 years, but save the congratulations for the “IWC glazers.” Because the Profits run this division! But then The Miz & Carmelo Hayes step in. Melo says, “Run this division? Y’all run this division into the ground. Yeah, MCMG, they road warriors. Y’all gassing them up. You wanna talk about a real road warrior? Let’s talk about The Miz!” Ford & Dawkins chuckle, but Miz asks if someone said a joke. Because the only joke he sees is the tag division being headed by these two clowns! Melo wants Miz to calm down but Miz says no, let him cook!
As talented as The Profits are, the mere fact those titles aren’t on WrestleMania is a slap in the face to every superstar that has held those titles, including Miz! Miz is a NINE-TIME Tag Team Champion! Time to put The Profits on notice and revive this tag division! Miz wants number ten, and he has the hottest prospect by his side! A true one-of-one, Carmelo Hayes! Together, they are Melo Don’t Miz, and they are AWES-H1M! And they most definitely want the smoke. Ford has Dawkins hold back. The Profits are focused on MCMG next week, but will they be seeing Miz & Melo soon enough?
Tiffany Stratton VS Roxanne Perez!
From words being thrown last week to fists being thrown before the show even began, it has been quite the week for the WWE Women’s Champion. But will she show this is still #TiffyTime? Or will The Prodigy prove she’s ready to do more than just stand and deliver?
SmackDown returns and Roxie makes her entrance. The bell rings, Roxie shoves Tiff, but Tiff shoves back. Tiff blocks the slap, but Roxie pulls hair! Roxie has Tiff in the corner, the ref counts, but Roxie lets off at 4. Tiff shoves Roxie down! Roxie gets up, Tiff headlocks, but Roxie pulls hair again. Roxie powers up and out, but Tiff runs her over! Tiff says it’s still her time, then runs, but she cartwheels over Roxie’s dropdown. Then she goes Matrix to avoid the lariat! Roxie rolls to headscissor and roll-up! TWO, and Roxie headlocks. Tiff powers up and out, but Roxie throws her down by her hair! The ref reprimands but things keep moving.
Tiff drops down but now Roxie cartwheels over. And Roxie SLAPS Tiff! The fans boo, but Roxie takes a bow. Tiff smiles, then SLAPS Roxie! Tiff THROWS Roxie down by her hair, arm-drags her around, then kicks low. Tiff reels Roxie in, the fans duel, and Tiff asks, “What time is it?” Snap suplex time! Tiff stomps Roxie, drags her up, and snap suplexes again! Cover, TWO! Roxie is tougher than that but Tiff stalks her to the ropes. Tiff drags Roxie in, Roxie grabs the apron skirt! The ref reprimands, Roxie lets go, and the ref fixes the skirt, allowing for Roxie to CLAW Tiff’s eyes! Roxie then POSTS Tiff! Tiff falls to the apron but Roxie goes out after her!
Roxie bends Tiff’s arm against a crossbar, then STOMPS! Tiff clutches her elbow and the fans boo, but Roxie says, “That’s how The Prodigy does it!” Roxie grins while SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Roxie storms after Tiff, puts her in the ring, then grabs the bad arm. Roxie wrenches the arm, THROWS Tiff down, then drops a KNEE on the elbow! Tiff clutches her arm, Roxie talks trash, and Roxie CLUBS Tiff down. Roxie grabs the bad arm, wrenches it, then UPPERCUTS! Roxie wrenches and whips Tiff to a corner, runs up and UPPERCUTS! Roxie wrenches and wrangles Tiff for a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Cover, TWO! Roxie keeps on Tiff by twisting the wrist and pulling on the arm! Tiff endures, Roxie mockingly claps using Tiff’s hand, then Roxie YANKS on the arm! Cover, TWO! Tiff toughs it out and goes to ropes.
Roxie storms up on Tiff, CHOKES her on the ropes, but stops as the ref counts. Roxie drags Tiff around, pushes her onto the ropes, then CHOKES her again! The ref counts, Roxie jumps to STOMP Tiff down! Roxie stalks Tiff, drags her around and wrenches the arm. Roxie hammerlocks then NORTHERN LIGHTS! Cover, TWO! Tiff stays in this but Roxie stays on her, and she YANKS the arm again! Roxie pulls on the arm but Tiff still endures. Tiff fights up, stacks Roxie, TWO! And it’s back to the straight armbar! Tiff fights up again, stacks, and deadlifts Roxie for a POWERBOMB! Both women are down, but Tiff crawls to the far side.
Tiff shakes out the bad arm while SmackDown returns to single picture. Tiff runs up to LARIAT Roxie! And LARIAT again! The fans fire up as Tiff handsprings corner to corner for a BACK ELBOW! Roxie sputters, Tiff whips, and SPINEBSUTER! High stack, TWO! Roxie stays in this but Tiff stays focused. Tiff drags Roxie up, reels her in, band manages a Canadian Rack! Roxie arm-drags free, then grabs the bad arm! Tiff rolls Roxie up first, TWO! Roxie runs, but into a SKY HIGH! Cover, TWO! Roxie survives again and Tiff grows frustrated. Tiff drags Roxie onto ropes, then runs, but Roxie avoids the hip attack to UPPERCUT!
Roxie THROWS Tiff down, steps on her as she goes to the corner, then she makes sure Tiff is in the right spot. Roxie goes up, LIONSAULT, but onto knees! Tiff saves herself, then goes up, up, and- NO, Roxie anchors a foot! Tiff kicks free, but Roxie climbs up to SUPER RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Roxie runs, HANDSPRING KNEE DROP! Cover, TWO!! Tiff survives and Roxie is furious! Roxie drags Tiff up, talks trash, then SOBATS! Roxie hops on, but Tiff pops free! Tiff then cartwheels to Alabama Lift, and she swings Roxie around, but Roxie victory rolls it! TWO, and Tiff has it, TWO! Roxie runs, tilt-o-whirls, LA MYSTICA! CROSSFACE!!
Tiffy endures, fights around, reaches out, but Roxie kicks off the ropes to turn things! But Tiff uses that to fireman’s carry! ROLLING SENTON! Tiff goes up, PRETTIEST MOONSAULT EVER!! Cover, Tiff wins!
Winner: Tiffany Stratton, by pinfall
Roxie tried to swoop in and ruin things for Tiffany, but Tiff- WAIT! CHARLOTTE FLAIR IS STILL HERE?! She drags Tiff out of the ring and THROWS her into barriers! The fans boo but Charlotte POSTS Tiff! Charlotte SLAPS Tiff, drags her up, and TOSSES her over the desk! Security rushes out here but Charlotte jumps over the desk! She shoves Wade Barrett, Wade tries to tell her this is going to get her fired! Charlotte doesn’t care, but Wade keeps her from getting after Tiff again. Charlotte instead stands on the desk again, soaking up the heat from Seattle. Will The Queen be a witch in her attempt to take back the throne?

LA Knight & Randy Orton VS Solo Sikoa & Tama Tonga!
The Mega Star & The Apex Predator got just a taste earlier tonight, and now they want to have the full course! Will Knight & Orton use the BFT and RKO to serve up an L? Or will the would-be Tribal Chief and his Good Bad Guy make the WWE United States Champion easy pickings for The Samoan Werewolf?
SmackDown returns and Knight makes his entrance to join Orton in the ring. Solo & Tama then make their entrance, and the teams sort out. Knight starts against Tama and the fans rally up. Solo distracts, Tama attacks! The fans boo as Tama fires hands, but the ref counts. Tama RAMS into Knight again and again, then backs up to taunt Orton, “YEYEYEYEYE!” Tama runs in and SPLASHES! Tag to Solo, he smirks at Orton, and Tama feeds Orton to an ELBOW! Solo drags Knight up, bumps him off buckles, then fires hands.

The fans fire up and Orton already hears the voices! Solo rises, but Tama gets in! Orton RK- NO, Tama shoves Orton into Solo’s SAMOAN DROP!
Tama BLASTS Knight, then he storms out while SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Orton tumbles out of the ring, and Solo waits inside. Tama CLOBBERS Orton, the ref reprimands, but Tama tags in. Tama drags Orton up, to LARIAT him down! Tama paces, then he drags Orton back into the ring. Tama runs to SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Orton stays in this but Tama grabs a leg. Tama drags Orton over, tags Solo, and they split the wishbone! Orton writhes, but Solo smirks as he paces between Orton and Knight. Solo puts Orton on the ropes to CHOKE him! Solo stops to taunt Knight, and this distracts the ref so Tama can BOOT Orton down! Orton sputters, but Solo taunts him to go tag Knight.
Orton crawls, Solo SLAMS Orton’s arm off the mat, then stands him up to HEADBUTT! Orton goes to a corner, Solo fires body shots and haymakers, but Orton eggs him on! Solo rains down fists, but Orton just gets up. Orton kicks low, fires hands, then HEADBUTTS! That wasn’t smart… Orton wobbles, and Solo HEADBUTTS Orton down!

Solo clamps on a chinlock and grinds Orton down again. The fans rally and Orton rises up!
Orton stands, but Solo HEADBUTTS him in the back again and again! Solo squeezes tight, but Orton still reaches out! Knight reaches out, but Solo pulls Orton back! The fans rally even harder, but Solo HEADBUTTS Orton again! Solo holds onto the chinlock, but Orton powers up to hit a BIG back suplex! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Orton and Solo crawl, hot tags to Tama and Knight! The fans fire up as Knight rallies on Tam with LARIATS and ELBOWS, and then a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Tama flounders to a corner but Knight stomps a mudhole! The ref counts, Knight stops at 4, then he runs corner to corner, KNEE WASH!
Solo is back in, but Knight dodges! Solo hits buckles, then gets a JUMP NECKBREAKER! Tama is up, but Knight scoops him for a POWERSLAM! The fans fire up as Knight spells it out! “L! A! KNIGHT!

Orton then goes for Solo but Solo drags him out of the ring! They brawl on the outside, then into the crowd! The fans fire up as Orton CLUBS away on Solo! Solo hits back, the fight moves towards the stage!
Tama and Knight are still in the ring, the fans rally up, and both men rise up. Tama staggers into Knight, and a B F T!! Cover, Knight & Orton win!
Winners: LA Knight & Randy Orton, by pinfall
It indeed was an RKO and a BFT that served up an L to Tama & Solo, but wait! JACOB FATU slides in outta nowhere! SUPERKICK for Knight!! The fans are torn but Jacob runs to SENTON! Jacob HEADBUTTS away on Knight, then looks at the US Championship. Knight flounders to a corner, Jacob runs in and HIP ATTACKS! Jacob is geeked up and the fans fire up! Jacob has Knight down at center, and he goes to a corner! BEST MOONSAULT EVER!! The fans fire up as Jacob holds up the championship! But then he goes back up, BEST MOONSAULT EVER!! And then, as credits roll, ANOTHER BEST MOONSAULT EVER!!
Jacob Fatu brings out his usual viciousness, and Knight is sputtering for air. Will this be the scene on WrestleMania Saturday? Or can the Mega Star somehow survive the Samoan Werewolf?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown here, especially this close to WrestleMania. It also acts as a partial go-home with WrestleMania Eve SmackDown kicking off the huge weekend in Las Vegas. I believe the Andre the Giant Battle Royal will be that night, as has become the tradition. I really hope they actually use that to make someone into a big deal, it’s becoming more a formality than anything at this point. Good promos from the male tag teams tonight, such as DIY claiming conspiracy and Melo Don’t Miz claiming The Profits aren’t good enough as champions. Profits VS MCMG will be a great match, I just hope there isn’t interference that decides it.
The Women’s Tag Gauntlet was awesome stuff, and I’m actually surprised Lyra & Bayley won. Not only that, but that they ran the table. But at the same time, I did sense the Women’s Intercontinental Championship could be dragged into this. Liv & Raquel wanna go for the Two Woman Power Trip, I feel like a shot at Lyra’s title could be made through this story, too. The gauntlet also did a good job of plugging other stories, like Natty being upset with Maxxine and the Secret Her-vice being unable to help Chelsea. The count-out loss seems like they were trying to fit the match within the time constraints, but at least Zelina has her win.
Great promos from Naomi and Jade to hype up their grudge match, and great stuff with McIntyre turning the face-to-face into a blindside attack. Good promo from McIntyre, and I’m a bit surprised he played his hand here with the eyepatch reveal. Even so, that “Sin City Street Fight” is going to be great stuff, and it’s hard to say who wins that. Awesome match from Fenix and Berto, and that was probably Berto’s best showing in a long time. Santos praising Fenix and belittling Berto, then Andrade there to encourage Berto, this Legado story could take some intriguing turns, but I don’t see Fenix joining Legado.
They did a good job turning around last week’s awkward and even controversial worked shoot from Charlotte and Tiffany into something here tonight. Good promo and great match from Roxie and Tiffany, and a good win for Tiffany. Charlotte showing up was a given, though, even if they hadn’t played the “she was suspended” card. Charlotte gets some good Heel heat here, and presuming this is the final segment, this has to indicate that Tiffany retains at WrestleMania. And with Roxie showing up tonight, that also signals she is joining SmackDown per her call up. She’ll make a great addition to refresh the division, and maybe even go right for the top title to feud with Tiff.
Great promo segment from Cody. I really liked them putting the classic belt designs out there for Cody to use as visual aides, especially Cena’s spinner belt. Cena being here for the WrestleMania Eve SmackDown, who knows what’ll happen. Maybe we even get The Rock to really pour on the star power. Still hard to say what’ll happen in the title match, but I feel like Cena should win so that the story for the rest of the year is everyone desperately trying to get the title off Cena, even when Cena has The Rock’s backing. “Fighting against authority” has always been a strong, effective theme for WWE stories, so why not keep that going?
And of course, great stuff in both the US Championship story and the developing Orton WrestleMania match story. Good opening promo segment with Orton and Aldis to reference back to Orton paying $100,000 on a $50,000 fine. Solo & Tama coming out to confront Orton while also hyping up Knight VS Jacob was good stuff. Knight showing up to make the save was fitting, and we got a great main event tag match. Given how Orton and Solo brawled away to the back, that’s gotta be a frontrunner for the Mania match now. That’s a good match of multi-generation superstars, honestly.
Jacob having the last word with his trio of moonsaults on Knight, this might’ve been them giving away that Knight retains, but I kinda hope they go the other way. Not that Knight isn’t popular or a isn’t a good superstar, but Jacob might be on his way to equal popularity, and it’s clear he’s a better wrestler from everything he’s been doing in the ring. Plus, then there can be more tension between Jacob and Solo over who brought this title to the family and who is the alpha in the group.
My Score: 8.8/10
