The takeover goes both ways.
The Undisputed Era talked big on the other brands, but then The OC gave them a taste of their own medicine!

The Women’s WarGames match heated up, the Bruiserweight got beat down, and the Prince drew battle lines. What is going to happen next?!
NXT Cruiserweight Championship: Lio Rush VS Angel Garza!
This is what’s next! And what’s first on the docket for tonight. The Man of the Hour tried being respectful to his number one contender, but instead of a handshake, he got a slap across the face! Will Garza climb to the mountain top of the Cruiserweight Division tonight? Or will the Living Piece of Gold keep his piece of gold around his waist?

Controversy for the Cruiserweights! Lio wins because the referee missed the ropebreak! Lio leaves with the gold for now, but will this be grounds for a rematch?
There’s been an attack backstage!
Rhea Ripley and Tegan Nox have been attacked, but there’s no culprits in sight. Is this the work of Shayna Baszler and her own WarGames team? Or a stealthy retaliation from Raw or SmackDown?
The Queen of Spades wreaks havoc on all brands!
She’s already bullied and beaten woman after woman on NXT, but she’s made herself known to both The Man, Becky Lynch, and Bad Bad Bayley. Will she receive any retribution before Survivor Series?
Xia Li VS Aliyah w/ Vanessa Borne!
Things are about to get spicy in Full Sail! But can she beat one half of #BorneBougie as an audition to Team Baszler?
The bell rings and Aliyah circles with Xia. Vanessa swipes but Xia sees Aliyah coming. She waistlocks but Aliyah uses a pull of the hair in the standing switch and she throws Xia down by said hair.

Winner: Xia Li, by pinfall
She was just too spicy for Aliyah. In fact, she may have done some serious damage to Aliyah’s face. Xia shows no concern for the bougie bullies, and celebrates her win. Will she be moving up the ranks right into WarGames? Or will she be waiting just outside the gates?
Finn Balor is here!
The Prince is back and he made sure to make it clear this is rrreeeal. And despite how Finn hurt Johnny Gargano really bad, fans still follow his every move. Finn takes up the mic and wonders, “This is it? This is NXT now? What happened to this place?” What happened to the business? The business Finn loves! NXT was great but now it’s a joke! The Heart of NXT, Johnny Wrestling? He’s all sore from something that happened three weeks ago! Finn built this place, and then he leaves and “a bunch of little boys moved in.” All these babies want sympathy for getting hurt? Don’t get Finn started on Matt Riddle. Finn dropped him last week and he hasn’t been seen since. So Finn begs someone to get in the ring with him.
But it IS Matt Riddle who gets in the ring! Riddle and Finn brawl, and fans chant “BRO! BRO!” Finn boots Riddle back and the brawl continues, but Riddle kicks Finn out of the ring. Finn hits back but Riddle sends him into railing and kicks him over! Finn flounders away and Riddle tells him, “Keep running, bro!” The “putz” can’t run forever. But then the Undisputed Era appears! They’re all just as riled up over things that have happened between them and Riddle. Cole tells Riddle, “Wrong place, wrong time.” They want to use Riddle as a punching bag over the OC, but here comes Ciampa and Keith Lee! The WarGames team assembles but Cole shouts, “How stupid can you guys be?!” Were they not watching SmackDown and Raw?! The Undisputed Era is the most dominant force in the WWE! Lee says “We don’t give a DAMN!” But please, get in this ring to have it out.
No? They don’t want to get in? Then shut up and let Lee give them some appreciation. Yes, Adam Cole beat Daniel Bryan. And yes, he stood up to Seth Rollins. But here’s the thing! Right here, right now, is he going to stand up to Lee? Roderick Strong shouts for Lee to shut his mouth! This is Adam Cole, BAYBAY! The most successful champion these last two weeks who deserves a night off! So instead, “you big dummy,” if Lee wants a fight, it’ll be against Strong! Lee isn’t that picky, and he draws the line. Fish says Roddy will cross that line happily! Referees hurry out to keep things from breaking down, but it sounds like the challenge has been accepted. And as soon as the rest of their teams are away from the ring, Lee YANKS Strong into the ring! This battle of the strong and the limitless begins after the break!

Cathy Kelley has updates on tonight’s goings-on.
Tensions are running high after the two separate attacks on women involved in the WarGames match. Is it a Raw, SmackDown or even another force within NXT doing this?
Meanwhile, GM William Regal has made a match for WarGames, Finn Balor VS Matt Riddle! The Prince and the Bro will settle their own beef, but that does mean Team Ciampa will need a new fourth man to replace him. Dijakovic was already big, but is there going to be an even bigger addition to Ciampa’s team this close to facing off with The Undisputed Era?
Killian Dain VS Pete Dunne!
The Beast of Belfast took offense just from the Bruiserweight walking all over his exit. But then it escalated when Dunne snapped Dain’s fingers.

Will Priest use both the Bruiserweight and Big Damo to #LiveForever?
Backstage interview with Mia Yim!
Just moments away from the ladder match with Io Shirai, and yet her team has been taken out. It feels like Mia is looking over her shoulder every few minutes. But this was expected from Raw and SmackDown. NXT is the main roster, so she dares anyone to come at her. She was the newest member to the team, now she’ll get her team the advantage they need. But then Dakota Kai walks in. She knows things are crazy, so Dakota just wants to let her know there are no hard feelings. Mia was chosen fair and square. If anything goes down, Captain Kick has the Blasian Baddie’s back. That ladder match main event is next!
Speaking of ladder matches…
For the Men’s WarGames advantage, it is Adam Cole and Dominik Dijakovic stepping up for their teams! The NXT Champion leads his team by example, but will he get past the towering titan that just joined up with Team Ciampa?
Ladder Match: Io Shirai VS Mia Yim!
Not only is this to gain an advantage in the first-ever Women’s WarGames match, this is also NXT’s first Women’s Ladder Match! Who climbs to the top to put their team on top come TakeOver?
The bell rings and the two go right at each other! They brawl, but Shirai grabs hair to biel Mia down. But then Mia gets Shirai with a back suplex.

Shirai pushes the ladder the rest of the way but Mia anchors her feet, to bring her into a wheelbarrow. There’s a second ladder sticking out from under the ring, so Mia facebusters Shirai onto it!
Mia wobbles her way back to the ring and goes back to the first ladder. But Shirai’s in fast and clubs Mia down! Shirai throws Mia out to then go to the first ladder. Mia grabs it it, and yanks ladder to bring Shirai into ropes! Mia makes a bridge with the ladder and then drags Shirai out, to whip at the ladder! Shirai ducks, to BOOT the ladder into Mia!

Mia fights it off, the suplex struggle continues, and it’s Mia who Suplexes Shirai onto the ladder! But that’s double-edged, and both women are writhing as NXT goes picture in picture!
Shirai and Mia clutch their damaged backs, but Mia heads for the ladder. Mia manages to stand, but it’s hard to lift that ladder with a bad back. She manages to prop it up in the corner first, then goes back to Shirai. She stomps Shirai around then drags her up. Mia whips Shirai but Shirai reverses, Mia stops herself in time to mule kick Shirai back. Shirai blocks being bounced off the ladder, to throw Mia into the rungs! Mia is up against the steel, and Shirai goes corner to corner, into a shotgun dropkick! Both women are down again! Shirai and Mia stir slowly, and head for each other. Shirai throws a forearm on her knees, but so does Mia. They brawl on the mat, putting everything behind the forearms. NXT returns to single picture as Shirai gets the edge! They both stand, and Shirai kicks low to SHOTEI! Mia is down, but crawling while Shirai staggers.

Mia kicks Shirai more, then drags Shirai up, only to be shoved into the ladder! Shirai tips the ladder over, because she has more devious plans for it. She puts Mia in the ladder, to use it to NUTCRACK THE BACK! Shirai scrapes Mia out and ditches this busted ladder for a fresh one! Shirai brings that into the ring while Mia writhes. Shirai stomps Mia down then kicks the useless ladder out of the ring. Shirai has the new ladder, but Mia brings her in, Protect Ya Neck! Mia hurries for the ladder, brings it up, but her back is making that hard. Shirai springboard dropkicks the ladder into Mia’s face!! Mia is immediately busted open! Shirai has drawn first blood, and a lot! But Shirai doesn’t care about that, she wants the ladder.
Referees and medics check on Mia while Shirai stands the ladder up with her own body. Shirai has the ladder up after some work, then climbs. But Mia doesn’t care about a busted face, she yanks Shirai off the ladder! And climbs it herself! Shirai hurries after her, GERMAN SUPLEX! Mia crashes down and Shirai is furious!

She shoves the ladder over, Mia crashes through the forgotten ladder!! Full Sail loses their minds as the NXT UK Women’s Champion is helping Io Shirai! Is she the fourth woman?! Shirai reaches the top, has the briefcase, she and Team Baszler win!!
Winner: Io Shirai; Team Baszler has the WarGames advantage
Who would’ve expected NXT UK would get involved in NXT USA’s historic moment? But thanks to the Lethal Lass, Shayna Baszler and her team have a huge advantage! Speaking of, Bianca Belair and Shayna herself are now in the arena! The Queen of Spades now has the Evil Genius, The EST and KLR on her team. Did this team just go from vicious to lethal?
But wait! Baszler gets blindsided by Bayley! SmackDown’s champion is here for payback on Shayna, and she uses her new move to SMASH Shayna into her own championship belt! Bayley runs off before Shayna’s team can get at her, but did she just plant her flag in Full Sail’s soil?
My Thoughts:
An amazing episode to build up WarGames! But also, just a great episode overall. That was a great NXT Cruiserweight Championship match, on level with a TakeOver match. I wouldn’t be surprised if the controversy at the end is their way of bringing this back around for TakeOver to perhaps even open the night. We also got a pretty solid match for Xia Li VS Aliyah, and Aliyah may have legit lost a tooth or cut her lip on that last kick. It was also smart positioning on the card to get the things not directly related to the TakeOver build out first so the rest of the night could just be fluid WarGames build. Finn VS Gargano won’t happen, and it was good Heel work to make Gargano sound wimpy for sitting out because of his neck. And now we’re getting Finn VS Riddle instead and that match is going to be just as stellar as Finn VS Gargano. But this also means a new fourth man for Ciampa, so someone could come out of left field for a huge opportunity.
Dijakovic was a great choice for the first “fourth man,” he and Lee are going to be amazing in that match. Dijakovic VS Cole next week in the ladder match will be great, too, and could go either way, regardless of what we saw in tonight’s Women’s Ladder Match. Strong VS Keith Lee was great, and since Lee won clean, another North American Championship match for these two is going to be great, and can feed further into the story of Undisputed Era trying to hold onto their titles. At this rate, it doesn’t sound like it’ll be #WinnersTakeAll so there’s a lot of build to be done after WarGames for those title stories. Swerve VS Reed was a great match, I wonder if Swerve is that new fourth man after that big win. And I really liked that Priest attacked Dain before a match ever began. I am really thinking a triple threat of Dunne VS Dain VS Priest should be at least the post-TakeOver episode to give us something just truly amazing to watch.
The women’s division story of the night was great, too. The mystery attacker started feeling like it was going to be Dakota Kai given how she seemed so scorned by both teams. In fact, even with her assuring Mia she was on her side, that still didn’t convince me she was innocent. Shirai VS Yim in that ladder match was amazing! NXT always finds ways to freshen up match types we’ve seen forever. Shirai was part of NXT’s first Women’s Steel Cage match and made it fresh, and then she made this first Women’s Ladder Match brutal. Mia legit getting busted open, definitely not planned but it ups everything about this main event, especially Mia’s determination to keep fighting. Dakota turned out not to be the assailant, since she didn’t go after Mia. I did not expect Kay Lee Ray, I honestly thought it was going to be Heel Toni Storm. This is actually for the better, as Toni will still one day return to NXT UK the hero, and now Team Baszler has two champions!
And then a perfect reveal as to the real attacker from the night, it was Bayley, Shayna! It was Bayley all along!! Shayna gets comeuppance from Raw and SmackDown, Bayley invades as I felt she should, and it all reminds us that Shayna really does need to worry about Bayley and pulling double duty Survivor Series Weekend. I am so pumped for that four-day weekend that is Survivor Series Weekend 2019!

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?

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?
WWE Tag Team Championships: The Street Profits VS Motor City Machine Guns!
After over four YEARS without gold, Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins finally have belts around their waists again. But will the champions go away after only a few weeks? Or can the Profits be up here in Sin City?
SmackDown returns and Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin are already in the ring as The Profits make their entrance. The introductions are made, but MCMG strike first with DROPKICKS at the ropes! The Profits tumble, MCMG take aim again, STEREO PLANCHA! The fans fire up, Sabin SMACKS Ford off barriers and then puts him in the ring.

Sabin reverses, Dawkins hurdles, and then Dawkins FLYING UPPERCUTS! The fans fire up with Dawkins, and he runs to CYCLONE SPLASH! Tag to Ford, then Dawkins Electric Chair Lifts! Ford is up top, BLOCKBUSTER DOOMSDAY! Cover, Shelley YANKS Ford away!
Dawkins whips Shelley, Shelley reverses and TOSSES him out! Shelley builds speed, DIVES into a haymaker! The fans fire up while Dawkins snarls, and SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Dawkins goes back to the Profits corner from the outside, and Shelley returns to the MCMG corner. Sabin tags Shelley, Ford tags Dawkins, and the two throw hands! Shelley climbs up in the corner to rain down punches! Ford runs up as Shelley reaches nine, but Shelley ELBOWS him down! Dawkins runs up but Shelley mule kicks! Shelley whips, Dawkins reverses, and Dawkins FLAPJACKS Shelley hard! Shelley sputters while Dawkins paces. Dawkins covers, TWO! Dawkins drags Shelley up, brings him over, then fires fast hands in the corner! Dawkins DECKS Shelley, drags him back up, and snapmares him for Ford’s slingshot SENTON!
Ford stares Sabin down, goes back to Shelley, and he drags Shelley up, only to get a JAWBREAKER! Shelley runs, sunset flips, but Ford rolls through to PENALTY KICK! And then SPLASHES! Cover, TWO! Shelley stays in this and crawls away to ropes. Ford drags Shelley over, tags Dawkins, and they stomp Shelley. Ford YANKS Shelley’s leg, Dawkins stomps Shelley more, then Dawkins stays between Shelley and Sabin. Dawkins scoops Shelley to SLAM him! Cover, TWO! Dawkins stalks Shelley, clamps on with a chinlock, and he grinds Shelley down. Shelley endures, fights up, and throws knees! Dawkins ROCKS Shelley!
Shelley flounders, Dawkins CLUBS him, and then Dawkins RAMS Shelley in a corner! The ref counts, Dawkins lets off, and he brings Shelley over to bump off buckles in the Profits’ corner. SmackDown returns to single picture as Dawkins runs up, but Shelley dodges the cyclone! Ford tags in, slides between Shelley and Sabin, then grabs a leg. Shelley BOOTS Ford away, hot tag to Sabin! Sabin dodges Ford, DROPKICKS Dawkins, then BOOTS Ford! Sabin goes up, and he FLYING RANAS Ford! Sabin keeps moving, and he goes to the apron to PENALTY KICK Dawkins! Sabin goes up the corner again, and he MISSILE DROPKICKS Ford!
Sabin tags Shelley while the fans fire up. Sabin runs in, Ford puts him on the apron, but Shelley LARIATS! Shelley clinches, Sabin goes up, MISSILE DROPKICK FALTLINER COMBO! Cover, TWO! Ford survives, but Shelley drags him up and brings him around. Shelley bumps Ford off buckles, tags Sabin, and Shelley Electric Chair Lifts Ford! Sabin climbs but Ford fights free! Ford sends Shelley into Sabin, then ENZIGIRIS Shelley! Hot tag to Dawkins! Sabin leaps over Ford, but Dawkins is there, POUNCE SAIDO COMBO! Cover, TWO!

The fans are thunderous, but JOHNNY GRAGANO LEAPS IN FROM THE CROWD! DIY attacks, and the match is ruined!
Winners: The Street Profits, by disqualification (still WWE Tag Team Champions)
Tommaso Ciampa grabs the belts, then he POSTS Dawkins! And he KNEES Shelly down! DIY is committing grand larceny but they claim they’re still the rightful champions! The fans boo, will Nick Aldis have to serve some justice?
Nick Aldis is on the phone.
Speaking of the SmackDown General Manager, he’s clearly already addressing the issue with DIY, only to be interrupted by Chelsea Green. The WWE Women’s United States Champion has her Secret Her-vice with her as she assumes Aldis witnessed last week’s travesty. He witnessed that count out loss, if that’s what she means. That IS what she means. And she has a complaint to file. Oh, tell him something he doesn’t know. Chelsea has Alba & Piper serve Aldis with the document. Aldis looks it over, and Chelsea assumes he will rectify the injustice. Aldis tells Chelsea that yes, she is right. There was an injustice, time to take action.
In fact, the three of them are supposed to be in a Six Woman Tag tonight. Forget that, because we’re handling this “injustice.” Zelina Vega will face Chelsea Green again! Great idea! What a stand-up champion! But hey, it’s a singles match, so let’s just have it be only Chelsea at ringside. Thank you. Aldis leaves, Chelsea freaks out and wants him to get back here, but what’s done is done. Will Chelsea just have to make sure she doesn’t lose two weeks in a row to La Muneca?
DIY is running backstage.
They’re trying to get away with these belts, but Aldis and security stop them! Aldis wants them to hand the belts over, DIY says they’re not playing games, but Aldis says DIY are not the champions. DIY insist they ARE the champions, but then the Profits run up! Followed by MCMG! Aldis and security keep this from breaking down! Aldis has everyone stop. DIY can do this the easy way or the hard way. DIY hand the belts over. Aldis says he is sick of dealing with this. Next week, the belts will be on the line, and high overhead. It will be a TABLES, LADDERS & CHAIRS MATCH! All three teams like that, but who wins when it’s all about TLC?
Randy Orton is here!
The fans sing along with Voices as The Viper makes his way to the ring. Orton takes a long look at the WrestleMania sign before he poses on the corner. Orton then grabs a mic to say, “Ladies and gents, as of now, I do not have an opponent for WrestleMania 41.” The fans boo, but Orton says he and the wife have been in Vegas, doing the appearances, walked The Strip, met the WWE Universe, thousands of you have approached him. He’s seen it in your eyes, he feels it in the air, there is an excitement for this year’s WrestleMania like none other! Orton’s father was in the very first Mania. Then 20 years later, Orton debuted at Madison Square Garden.
Orton’s mother got to witness his debut. Mania means something to him. And his legacy has a lot to do with his longevity. So there is no way in hell he is just sitting out this year’s WrestleMania! If Orton competes this weekend, it will be the 20th time he has competed at WrestleMania! This WrestleMania means so much to him, so here’s what he’ll do. He is just going to throw this out there to “the universe,” and let the fans decide! Orton will show up on Sunday, boots tied up, gear on, and just the right amount of baby oil on his skin… Fans like that! Orton promises to be locked, loaded and ready to deliver.
Because he’s not just doing this for himself! Orton is doing this for the fans, for his family, for the guys in the back! But as far as “the boys in the back” are concerned, if anybody wants to test themselves, he dares them to step up! Anybody on The Strip, if you’ve got wrestling boots, or even just catch wind that The Legend Killer needs an opponent, he is challenging you to step up! He will be there on Sunday, Allegiant Stadium, in the ring, ready to go! But know this: You will be met with, you will fall victim to the three most dangerous letters in sports entertainment, R K O! Who will then step up to this RKOpen Challenge?
Backstage interview with Damian Priest.
Byron Saxton is with The Archer of Infamy and notes that this situation with Drew McIntyre has reached a boiling point. Earlier today on the WrestleMania Kickoff Show, they got into it, and- Priest stops Byron there. He knows Byron is doing his job, but Priest is done answering questions. This is now a direct message to Drew McIntyre, “the same guy who didn’t bother to show up to SmackDown tonight. The same guy who has been trying to convince the world that he’s some kind of victim. Drew, you are not a victim, man. Not yet. You’re mistaken if you think this is about me beating you in a match. You’re not ready for this fight. The world isn’t ready for this violence.
“You’ve tried really hard to paint me as some type of bad guy. Good. I’m gonna beat you so bad, you’re gonna wish you were future endeavored, again. At WrestleMania, I’m bringing the punishment, and I’m gonna bury you.” Priest has put the Scottish Warrior on notice, is he about to terminate the terminator?
The shadowy force approaches…
More smoke and flashes of images. “Accept damnation… Reject forgiveness…” Then the numbers appear, 4.25.25. We have one week left to wait, will SmackDown fade to black?
Chelsea Green VS Zelina Vega!
The Women’s US Champion is very upset that she lost by count out, but maybe she should’ve just left the issue alone. Now she has to face La Muneca again, and could end up losing even worse. Will Chelsea end up complaining even more after tonight? Or will she find a way to even the score?
SmackDown returns as Chelsea makes her entrance. The bell rings and Chelsea tries the skirt trick from last week! Zelina dodges it, then runs up, but Chelsea catches her for a back suplex! Zelina lands out, but Chelsea SLAPS her! Chelsea talks smack, but Zelina runs up again! Chelsea catches her for a LIGHTNING SPIRAL! Cover, TWO!

Chelsea refreshes the ring count this time, argues with the ref about it, then goes out to fetch Zelina. But Zelina DUMPS Chelsea into the timekeeper’s area! The fans rally, Zelina crawls away, and Chelsea drags herself back to ringside. We’re at 7 of 10, then 8! Both women spring in at 9! The fans cheer as the two stare down. Chelsea and Zelina warn the other, and then the forearms fly! Vegas is on Chelsea’s side for whatever reason but Zelina fires a flurry! Then she dodges and comes back to CLOBBER Chelsea!
Zelina LARIATS! Then she blocks a kick, ELBOWS Chelsea, and stalks her to the ropes. Zelina dials it up, but Chelsea BOOTS her first! Chelsea covers, TWO! Now Chelsea argues that count wasn’t fast enough! Chelsea puts Zelina up top, climbs up after her, but Zelina fights the suplex!

And now that’s a definitive victory on the Women’s US Champion! Will Zelina look to make this 3-0 when she goes for the title?
LA Knight VS Solo Sikoa!
The Mega Star got the drop on Tama Tonga, and now he looks to remove one more variable before facing the dangerous Samoan Werewolf. Knight has the mic to say, “LEMME TALK TO YA! I dunno if you just saw what was on the screen, but what happened last week, I call that inspiration. Because week after week, Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, they like to use numbers, they like to use sneak attacks. If you wanna sneak, then I got the sneak! And sneaking’s what I did. So outta the equation is Tama Tonga, and next on the list, Solo. Which means tomorrow at WrestleMania, it’s just me and it’s Jacob Fatu
“Now I understand Jacob Fatu’s a force, the man’s a monster, and he’s destroyed everything in front of him. Ain’t ever seen anything like him, right? But Jacob, you don’t understand! Because with that same energy, I walked into this place, turned the world upside-down, and stand here, TWO-TIME, most matches, most wins. And what that means is this is the title of titles. We never seen anything like you? NAH NAH! You ain’t ever seen anything like me!” The fans cheer, and Knight says when Jacob grabbed the belt last week, Knight could be cliche and say that’s the closest Jacob will get to being champ.
But Knight ain’t a dummy. Knight can look at Jacob and see that some day, some where, chances are, Jacob will be a champion. If that’s US Champ or something else, who knows. But the chances are, that while Knight’s here in the city of chance, he ain’t talking chance, he’s talking guarantees. The guarantee tonight is that Solo’s gonna walk out here and eat one. Then tomorrow night, Knight guarantees Jacob eats a BFT, courtesy of the man they call The Mega Star, with everybody saying, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!!” With that, Solo makes his entrance, truly solo without Tama or Jacob. Knight then rushes out to start the fight!
The fans fire up as Solo and Knight trade hands back and forth, the Knight gets the edge! “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight RAMS Solo into the apron, stalks him to the steel steps, but Solo YANKS Knight into the steel! The ref reprimands but this isn’t a match yet! Solo THROWS Knight into the steel steps, and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and they’re back on the outside as Solo stands Knight up. Solo takes a swing but Knight fires counter punches! “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Solo UPPERCUTS, then scoops Knight, to RAM him into the POST! Knight writhes on the floor, Solo refreshes the ring count, and Solo hauls Knight up for an APRON BACK SUPLEX! Knight flounders into the ring, Solo stalks after him, and Solo pushes Knight to a cover. TWO, and the fans rally behind Knight. Solo stays focused and he stands Knight up again. Solo suplexes, Knight lands on his feet, and Knight hits a NECKBREAKER! Both men are down and the fans rally up.
Knight stands to kick and punch away! Knight whips, Solo reverses, and Solo kitchen sink knees! Solo taunts the fans, then he FALLING HEADBUTTS Knight! And FALLING HEADBUTTS again! Solo taunts Knight, then has Knight at the ropes for a HIP DROP! Solo is going after those ribs, and he mockingly spells it out, before he HIP DROPS onto knees! The fans fire up while Solo sputters. Knight crawls his way to a corner, drags himself up, and the fans rally. Knight fires more punches, “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight ROCKS Solo, runs, but then has to dodge a lariat to LEAPING LARIAT in return!
Knight kicks and DDTS Solo, then rolls back! The fans fire up for the athleticism, and Knight goes up a corner, only for JACOB FATU to shove him down!
Winner: LA Knight, by disqualification
The fans are torn as the Samoan Werewolf is now attacking Knight! Jacob stomps away, then storms around, but BRAUN is here!! The Monster of All Monsters is back, and he runs through Jacob & Solo to then DOUBLE CROSSBODY them! Knight LARIATS Jacob up and out of the ring! Aldis is here, and he can see Jacob doesn’t wanna wait. Since no one can keep their hands to themselves, is Vegas thinking what he’s thinking? Let’s make a tag team match, and it starts right now! The fans fire up as Aldis pulls a Teddy Long, but will Jacob & Solo be able to soften Knight up with #OneBigSOB in the way?
LA Knight & Braun Strowman VS Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu!
SmackDown is picture in picture as this sorts out. Knight and Solo start to continue where it left off. Knight kicks, JABS, JABS, JABS, and then whips. Solo reverses, but Knight grabs ropes. Knight BOOTS Solo, but Jacob CLOBBERS Knight! Braun protests, the ref keeps him back, and Solo soaks up the heat. Solo tags Jacob, Jacob stomps Knight, then glares at Braun. Jacob stomps Knight more, drags him up and whips him hard into a corner! Knight sputters but Jacob HEADBUTTS him down. Knight flounders against the ropes, but Jacob CHOKES him! The ref counts, Jacob lets off at 4, and then Jacob brings Knight up.
Knight fires body shots, but Jacob HEADBUTTS him back down! Jacob says, “I LOVE YOU, SOLO!” Solo says see? The team’s just fine. Jacob whips Knight hard into the corner, then he tags Solo. Solo RAMS into Knight, ROCKS him, and Knight falls back into the corner. Solo fires body shots, brings Knight out, but then whips Knight back into the corner! Knight drops to his knees, but Solo brings him up to whip into the corner again! Solo tags Jacob, Jacob glares at Braun, then runs and SPLASHES Knight! Jacob CHOKES Knight, the ref counts, and Jacob stops at 4. But then Solo CHOKES Knight behind the ref’s back!
SmackDown returns to single picture, the fans boo and Braun protests, but Solo gets away with it all. Jacob stares Braun down, but Knight kicks low! Knight ELBOWS Solo, kicks Jacob, repeat! Jacob runs up but Knight DUMPS him out! The fans fire up, Knight crawls, hot tag to Braun! Braun CLOBBERS Jacob! And CLOBBERS him again! Braun BLASTS Solo, then runs to SHOTGUN Jacob outta the ring! The fans fire up with Braun, and he gets on the tracks! STROWMAN EXPRESS for Solo! And then Jacob! Jacob hits steel steps as he falls! The fans fire up with Braun and he puts Jacob in the ring.
Braun storms in, keeps moving, but Jacob LEBOWS him away! Jacob then dodges to SUPERKICK! Jacob runs, and he LARIATS Braun down! Jacob hauls Braun up to then DDT back down! And SENTON! Cover, TWO!

Braun throws body shots, but Solo DECKS him! Tag to Jacob, he stomps Braun, then clamps on with a chinlock. Braun endures the neck wrench, fights up, and the fans fire up as Braun picks Jacob up! SIDEWALK SLAM!
Braun and Jacob are both down but the fans rally back up! Braun and Jacob crawl, hot tags to Solo and Knight! Knight CLOBBERS Solo, then slips around to RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Knight BLASTS Jacob for good measure before he scoops Solo and POWERSLAMS! Knight goes up, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!” BOX JUMP ELBOW DROP! Cover, JACOB BREAKS IT! That senton squashes Knight, but Braun POUNCES Jacob out of the ring! The fans fire up as Braun gets back on the tracks! STROWMAN EXPRESS is sent over the desk!! Jacob goes to the ring, but Knight WRECKS him with a dropkick!
Knight returns, but Solo mule kicks him! SAMOAN- NO, Knight dodge the spike to B F T!! Cover, Knight & Braun win!
Winners: LA Knight & Braun Strowman, by pinfall
Knight survives the night thanks to some help from Braun, but Jacob is back on his feet! Will nothing stop the Samoan Werewolf from taking the Mega Star’s gold?
SmackDown shares a snippet of Wade Barrett’s interview with Tiffany Stratton.
Like with The Queen, Charlotte Flair, Barrett sat down with the WWE Women’s Champion. She is someone who has risen to superstardom in record time, learning on the job, and we had quite the “learning experience” during that interview segment in Chicago. Barrett was there with Tiff and Charlotte, and it created a ton of buzz around this match, but perhaps for the wrong reasons. To put it mildly, that interview went off the rails. What happened there? Tiff says she feels over the last couple of weeks, she has been bullied and taken advantage of. That split screen interview before, there was a moment of discouragement, like Tiff isn’t made for this.
It was a moment of panic, but Tiff turned that feeling into motivation. She went back to the drawing board, did some research, and she made sure that she and Charlotte being face to face, Tiff would be prepared. She felt her moment, and came at Charlotte with a killshot. Tiff beat Charlotte at her own game and gave her a taste of her own medicine. Charlotte doesn’t have to like Tiff, but she will respect her now. Barrett says given this level of animosity, as well as the title on the line, this feels like a must-win for both sides. But what happens if Tiffy Time ends at WrestleMania? Tiff will say first, that won’t happen.
When the bell rings, she is fully aware this will be a fight. This will be one of the hardest matches she’s had to go through. She will channel that discouragement and make it motivation. She will stand up to Charlotte, she will stand up to a bully, and at WrestleMania, she will walk both in and out as champion. Barrett says this is certainly one of the most hotly anticipated matches this weekend, and wishes her luck. Luck aside, will Tiff have the skills to surpass one of the greatest to ever do it?
Six Man Tag: Team American Made VS Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee & Rey Fenix!
Chad Gable & The Creeds may not have won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, but their apparent amigo, El Grande Americano, made sure Rey Fenix didn’t win it, either. Will this WrestleMania SmackDown still be American Made in the end? Or will this incredible trio of lucha libre power show El Grande what he’s in for?
SmackDown returns as American Made make their way to the ring. The teams sort out, and Brutus starts against Fenix. The two circle, and Fenix JABS Brutus!

Cody Rhodes is here!
Las Vegas sings along with the song, “WHOA~ OH~!” and the pyro goes off. The Undisputed WWE Champion takes in the huge crowd here in the T-Mobile Center before going down the ramp and high-fiving the front row. Cody goes to the ring, gets another “WHOA~ OH~” and pyro, then grabs the mic. The fans are a bit torn now, which takes Cody by surprise. But he still smiles and holds up the belt one more time before… being interrupted by John Cena! Cody smirks and the fans sing, “John Cena SUCKS~!” Cena sports the Las Vegas edition of his farewell tour merchandise, and he goes to the ring with “The Last Time is Now” towel draped behind him.
Cena steps into the ring, grabs himself a mic, and again the fans are torn, just the flipside of how they were for Cody. “Let’s Go, Cena!” “CENA SUCKS!” Cena paces, Cody lifts his mic, but Cena tells him, “Shut your mouth, kid. This is gonna be my 20th WrestleMania, my 12th title match at WrestleMania. I know just as well as anybody that right about now, you can get lost in all the noise, all these voices. There is one voice you should listen to, and that’s the one coming from the man looking you in the eye. Sunday is the last time I will ever compete in a WrestleMania ring. No one has ever had the courage to end their career the way I have.
“And there is nothing you can possibly do to prepare to face a man who knows he’s going to die. What I’m doing is so unprecedented, they don’t think it’s real. They don’t believe it. They think I’m going to come back, because everyone always comes crawling back. ‘There’s no such thing as a wrestling retirement! There’s always one more match!’ The reason there isn’t a wrestling retirement is because every other wrestler is a scared, insecure loser. Every other wrestler needs these people! Needs these people to care about them, to post about them, to talk about them, because the second they get away from this, they’re left alone, by themselves, with their pathetic lives, so they come crawling back as a shell of themselves.
“I have love, joy and mirth in my life, I don’t need a single damn one of you.” The fans boo but Cena says the only reason he is here is to take that title away from Cody and all of the fans forever! Don’t say he didn’t warn you, because he did. When Cody Rhodes won the title last year, everyone raised him on their shoulders, giving him watches and saying, “Good job, champ!” When Cena had his moment alone with Cody, like a man to his face, Cena didn’t say, “Good job, champ.” He said, “Every day you hold that, it gets heavier.” And on Sunday, it finally becomes too heavy for Cody to hold, Cody will LOSE.
The fans are torn, but Cena continues by saying Cody will lose because he cares about the fans! “You people do not write history! Winners do.” Cena is here tonight because he wanted to share one more thing with Cody before Sunday. When Cena won at Elimination Chamber, he knew it’d be impossible to beat Cody in a match at WrestleMania. And in one moment, Cody changed all that. Cody changed all that with what he said to The Rock. See, kid, The Rock just gave Cody a choice: Do you wanna do what the fans think is right? Or do you wanna win? And in the moment Cody made his choice, not only did Cena realize he could win, he also realized that this Sunday, Cody doesn’t stand a chance.
The fans are torn again, but Cena says on that night, Cena also realized that the one thing left for him to do was do what Cody couldn’t: Prove to the fans that they don’t matter. See, all of this? All this noise? These people will always make up their own version of the truth that they want to believe, and when you stop caring about that and stop caring about them, you can start accomplishing anything you want in life! But Cody is too weak to understand that. The fans boo, but Cena says that in order to beat Cena, Cody must choose. Does he do what the fans think is right? Or does he win? Cody, you are strong, you are tough, and you are driven, but you are also scared, insecure and naive.
Cody says he wears the suit because he wants to be somebody. He has the tattoo because he wants to be somebody. Cody didn’t need the suit or the tattoo, because on Sunday, Cena will make Cody into somebody. Somebody who finally realizes that to become a winner, you gotta sever all ties with the losers in your life. Or… Somebody who had a chance to be a winner, and blew it. And in that very moment, Cody will realize he is to the captain, not the quarterback, but just a kid in a man’s world, who doesn’t have the balls of the Last Real Champion. Cody says okay, okay, “the noise,” huh? Cena’s always gotta say something.
The fans duel, and Cody says how this crowd feels about Cena… Cena says wow, this is who Cody fights for. This matters to him? Cody says that Cena claims he doesn’t bury talent, because he IS talent. Well, Cody knows a graveyard of talent that would disagree, but this isn’t about them. This is about WrestleMania. Cody wants to ask a question: Does Cena know the guy who handed him the mic? No, of course not. Nor this person, or anyone backstage. This is a different WWE. When this was Cena’s WWE, Cody worshipped him! The fans worshipped him! But since The GOAT hasn’t shown up since Elimination Chamber, Cody will offer some perspective.
Cena called Cody underwhelming? Well guess what? Cena is overrated! And overbearing! And more importantly, out of touch and out of time. Cena’s face is melting wax, he has a stack of dimes for a neck, has spindly ass legs, is paler than Sting at Starrcade ’97, and is sanctimonious! Cena has comments about Cody being an errand boy when the whole world has watched Cena saunter out on the Oscar stage buck ass naked for the people he runs errands for now! And BAH GAWD, Cena, it is 2025, and Cena still can’t wrestle!! The fans are going nuts, and there are plenty of chants for both sides. Cena frowns and says, “Idiots.”
The fans sing for “Cody! Cody Rhodes~!” and that just annoys Cena more. Cena says they’re just like Cody. They don’t know what they want. And on Sunday, in order to beat Cody, Cena doesn’t have to wrestle. Cena pokes Cody in the eyes! Then he fireman’s carries, and hits an ATTITUDE- NO, Cody slips free! CROSS RHODES!! Cena’s punchline backfires, and Cody stands over him, title in hand! Will the American Nightmare keep the dream alive by keeping the title away from Cena? Or will Cena still hit the jackpot on reign number 17?
