The Raw Women’s Champion has answered the open challenge and Full Sail is happy she did!

WarGames history is being made!

That’s because a Women’s WarGames match is finally happening!

Shayna says everyone was picking a fight with her so bad, it has led to this. Rhea says that in Chicago, they’ll lock it down. The brawls we’ve had so far will not compare. Shayna equates it to a “two year old’s tantrum” but Rhea won’t be cutting in line in front of the Evil Genius, EST or KLR. Rhea says Shayna just thinks she has a tough team, but the Shiniest Wizard, Mrs. Wrestling and the Head Baddie have shown what tough means. Io Shirai is manic over this historic match! WarGames isn’t about friendships, it’s about risk versus reward. But it’s Rhea’s team that’s locked inside with Shayna’s, and her fearsome foursome hold the keys to the entire future of the NXT Women’s Division. “let’s make some history, and let’s go to war.”

Winners: The Viking Raiders, Erik pinning

This is one match Full Sail is happy to see the invaders win! The Raw Tag Team Champions had a victorious return, but will they continue that warpath through Survivor Series?

 

Cathy Kelley has big news!

The massive melee between Pete Dunne, Killian Dain and Damien Priest is going to come to a head at WarGames in a Triple Threat match, and the winner will be the #1 Contender to THE NXT Championship, at Survivor Series! But if you asked said champion, Adam Cole believes this is just “bad timing” for them. This run Cole is on is unstoppable. He will arrive at Chicago champion and vows to leave as champion. Who between Bruiserweight, Beast of Belfast and brutal Archer of Infamy will be the one to go after the cocky leader of the Undisputed Era?

 

Ladder Match: Adam Cole VS Dominik Dijakovic!

The Undisputed Era is the faction that practically brought WarGames back, as they’ve been part of the first two. The third time is no different, but it does help if the Undisputed Era can have the advantage. With Team Ciampa still not complete, can Cole put a nail in the coffin by winning this match? Or will the Croatian Colossus climb up higher than ever before to make sure their future fourth man will have an even bigger impact?

Dijakovic clutches his own bad leg, but Cole takes it and swings it into the post! And again! And again! Cole shows no mercy to Dijakovic as NXT goes picture in picture.

Cole watches Dijakovic writhe while going for the big ladder by the ramp. Cole puts this ladder in, but then sees Dijakovic get up. Cole BOOTS Dijakovic down, and then folds up the standing ladder.

NXT!” as Cole heads up the standing ladder. But Dijakovic clamps his hand on again! Cole hammers back but Dijakovic still CHOKE SLAMS Cole onto the first ladder!! Fans chant “MAMMA MIA!” as Cole writhes in agony!

Dijakovic is up and he heads up top. Cole hurries to anchor a foot, but Dijakovic hops down to torture rack. Cole fights with fists, and then gets to the ladder! He is already halfway up and reaching for the briefcase! Dijakovic yanks Cole off, but Cole uses it for a PANAMA SUNRISE! Full Sail is fired up all over again as Dijakovic flops out of the ring. Cole sees his opening and scurries up top! Cole is almost there but Dijakovic returns! Dijakovic clubs Cole down and has the torture rack, FEAST YOUR EYES! But that turns out double-edged for Dijakovic’s bad leg! Fans rally up and Dijakovic hobbles up. The ladder bridge helps him get up part of the way. Dijakovic has to hop rather than climb, but Cole returns! Cole gets up and they both grab at the briefcase! Cole uses the case to SMASH Dijakovic in the head! And then Dijakovic falls through the ladder bridge!! Cole unhooks the briefcase, COLE WINS!

Winner: Adam Cole; The Undisputed Era have WarGames Advantage

And he didn’t even need the Undisputed Era to help him! Now Cole, Strong, Fish & O’Reilly will have the leg up on Dijakovic, Tommaso Ciampa, and Keith Lee. The Undisputed Era come out to celebrate with Cole, but the SmackDown superstars have regrouped. As have the Raw superstars, which include Zack Ryder and the Street Profits! The Undisputed Era is surrounded, and the fight is on! SmackDown and Raw put the Undisputed Era down, and then go after each other! But then more NXT superstars appear! This is a lot like what Raw was like! But wait, is that Drew McIntyre?! He gives Dijakovic a CLAYMORE!! And he says “SUCK IT!”

But Keith Lee gets in, and McIntyre turns around for a SPIRIT BOMB!! But Ivar circles with Lee now. But instead of brawling with each other, they both see the chaotic crowd of other superstars outside the ring. These two behemoths build speed and they BOTH FLY!! The Limitless One and the Warbeard bowl over Raw, SmackDown, and NXT! Cole pops out, grinning that he’s the last one standing. But then he turns around, and it’s SETH ROLLINS! SUPERKICK! Full Sail erupts with both cheers and boos as Rollins stomps “Burn It Down!” Rollins aims at Cole, but here comes Ciampa! The Psycho Killer is here, because this is Daddy’s Home. Rollins wants Ciampa to bring the fight, and Ciampa goes to the ring. But then he doesn’t get in, he gives Cole the PSYCHO KNEE! The Blackheart settles things with his enemy first, then gets in the ring with Rollins.

Fans feel “Seth’s Not Cool!” as he and Ciampa stare down. Rollins and Ciampa throw hands! Ciampa knees low, runs, but into a forearm! Rollins runs but into a back elbow! Ciampa sees Fish coming but gets him with Willow’s Bell, his draping DDT! NXT goes off the air, but thankfully WWE YouTube has the rest!

Roderick Strong gets in, but gets a Fairy Tale Ending! Rollins adds the CURB STOMP! Fans are cheering, and suddenly some think, “He’s the Fourth! He’s the Fourth!” Rollins leaves without confirming or denying, and Ciampa waves him good-bye. Rollins says “See you Sunday,” as he assumes Ciampa will lead Team NXT into the 15-Man Elimination match. If Rollins isn’t the surprise fourth man, then who is? It seems we won’t find out until WarGames has begun!

 


 

My Thoughts:

THIS is what a go-home should be! NXT may be pulling double duty for Survivor Series Weekend this year, but you’d think they’d done this before. Everything was smooth, nothing was outright filler, and it all works out so that the math keeps all three brands strong without weird finishes and inexplicable camera cuts. Becky starts things off with straight fire, her match with Rhea was great, and in this situation, an attack to end the match makes a lot of sense. Shayna doesn’t like Becky, she doesn’t like Rhea, of course she and her Horsewomen will take advantage of both women being down. Then later in the night, another great match for KLR and Dakota, but naturally the UK Women’s Champion wins to help Team Shayna. That brawl of all the women was great, and Nikki Cross is a Full Sail favorite so it was great for her to just wreck shop with that trash can lid. I really liked that Kairi and Shirai got a moment, too. Maybe that plays into the match, and either Kabuki Warriors defect to NXT or Shirai joins them. Either way I want them all to reunite now that they’re all Heels.

The men also had great parallels to such action, and played off it so it wouldn’t be an exact copy. Ricochet wrecking Kona Reeves was great, because it just felt like a set-up. Reeves wasn’t going to last against Riddle, and the match we got instead was great. The parallel being that superstars from SmackDown, or more specifically, Team Sami, attacked. The difference was them being thwarted and Riddle still getting a win. His brawl with Balor was great, their match is going to be an instant classic. We got an amazing match for The Revival and reDRagon, a rare Heels VS Heels. With talk of Revival still wanting out, why can’t they defect to NXT and be the new Gallows and Anderson for Finn? Then we got a great surprise match, Viking Raiders VS Forgotten Sons. Forgotten Sons may have red hot go-away heat, but they can put on a great match. Raiders win so that NXT isn’t pulling away in the race, and this ups things for the tag champions triple threat.

I am glad to hear that we are getting that triple threat of Dain-Dunne-Damien, and glad to know it will be to give Adam Cole a challenger. I still feel like WWE is having NXT do too much if it’s going to be Cole VS one of them at Survivor Series after a literally brutal match for WarGames. Hell, after what Cole just went through in the ladder match, I’m surprised his leg is okay. My guess is Dunne wins as the one Face in it all, and we can at least tease history being made, Dunne becoming first man to hold both WWE United Kingdom and THE NXT Championship in his career. Cole VS Dijakovic was great, because again, this match parallels Mia VS Shirai from last week, in concept at least. The execution was great, I was really impressed they didn’t parallel the interference. But then it all came out with yet another triple threat brawl to end the show.

I really expected A) Ciampa to be accompanied by the fourth man, or B) offer Rollins that spot after fighting off Undisputed Era. I feel like being in WarGames would’ve gotten Rollins his cool edgy quality back but no, Rollins needs to be able to compete at Survivor Series against NXT as enemies. Unless he defects, which is seemingly less likelier by the moment. My money is on Velveteen Dream being the fourth man because he’ll want revenge on Undisputed Era for (kayfabe) taking him out of action. And I would still hope NXT doesn’t directly copy and paste WarGames match competitors for the 5v5v5 matches, certainly not in the men’s. Use that match to highlight superstars still really great but not all banged up to hell. Now that Riddle isn’t in it, he can be on Team NXT with Ciampa, and perhaps get some NXT UK guys if possible so that it keeps continuity with the invasions. Walter getting in there with Strowman from SmackDown and McIntyre from Raw would be so good!

My Score: 9.2/10

PLAY BY PLAY

It’s the WrestleMania 41 Night 1 Countdown Show!

Join Michael Cole, Pat McAfee, Wade Barrett & Big E in discussing, analyzing, and predicting all the action set for the first night of WrestleMania’s Las Vegas weekend!

 

Rey Mysterio speaks.

“This is lucha libre. Born int he streets of Mexico, perfected in the ring. Masked warriors, high flying chaos, pure adrenaline. For nearly a century, lucha libre has redefined wrestling. A cultural force inspiring generations. And now the whole world is watching AAA and WWE. Taking lucha libre higher, faster, farther, together. The future flies here.” WORLDS COLLIDE: WWE, NXT & AAA!

AAA executives and various luchadores join the panel!

Michael Cole is honored to have Rey Mysterio, the LWO, Legado Del Fantasma, Andrade, Rey Fenix, Penta, Stephanie Vaquer and AAA’s El Hijo del Vikingo here, as well as representatives of the AAA lucha libre company, as WWE is now officially making an acquisition deal with Mexico based company, Fillip. So joining us are AAA CEO & GM Dorian Pena, AAA President Marisela Pena, Fillip co-founder, Alberto Fasja Cohen, and WWE’s HHH. To start with Dorian, what does this mean to AAA given they’ve created some of the best talent over the last 30 years? Dorian says it is a huge honor because it is the beginning of a new chapter for wrestling.

For three decades, Dorian’s uncle, Antonio Pena, founder of AAA, as well as Dorian’s late father and the vision of his mother, Marisela, they’ve kept this tradition going for 33 years. To be finally here with all this talent, they feel so very proud. The fans cheer for “LUCHA! LUCHA!” Cole asks now from a business standpoint, what does this mean? Cohen says the opportunity was there, they took it, and it has really been years in the making. This partnership is something he’s wanted for a long time. To have the support of the Orland family, it will be an amazing thing for years to come. Cole is excited because some of the top wrestlers on the planet will finally be seen globally.

Now, to HHH, it was perhaps a decade ago that HHH had the idea of bringing under all these groups under on umbrella. When will we get to witness all this? HHH says he’ll get to that in a second. Before any of that, he just wants to take Ms. Marisela, as well as Dorian and Alberto. He has nothing but respect for what they created, and nothing but respect for lucha libre. Some of the greatest stars have come out of AAA, have been in the WWE, have been seen around the world. The impact of lucha libre, especially the cultural, resonates through generations. It cannot be understated, and WWE looks to further that tradition for the sake of everyone who loves it.

HHH promises that WWE will take that to a new level. There was even an article in the LA Times that spoke to the power and popularity of lucha libre. With that in mind, HHH remembers back to 30 years ago, sitting in his apartment with Brian Pillman Sr. and others, watching the very first Worlds Collide take place. So it is HHH’s honor to announce that 30 years later, live from The Forum in LA, June 7th, Worlds Collide will take place again! The fans love that news! And if you don’t think that is exciting, then look no further to who is at this desk here today. The greatest of all time, Rey Mysterio!

The fans chant “6 1 9! 6 1 9!” and Rey appreciates that. HHH brings up the unbelievable Rey Fenix, the full LWO, as well as Penta, Dragon Lee, Santos Escobar and the Garzas. Then of course one of the most spectacular luchadores of all time, Andrade Almas, and THE NXT Women’s Champion, Stephanie Vaquer. And now, combine that with the current AAA talent like the one and only Vikingo, it is as Rey said in that video. This show is going to be incredible, because starting now, the future flies here!

 

Jackie Redmond interviews Rey Mysterio.

Jackie is honored to have the #GLOAT, Greatest Luchador of All Time, and she can’t imagine an announcement like this without him. She thanks him for being here, especially after what we saw last nigh ton SmackDown. How is he feeling? He wishes he could say he’s feeling great. Spiritually, he is. But physically, it is unfortunate he suffered an injury at the hands of American Made. He is no longer cleared to compete. So he can’t face El Grande Americano tonight? No, not with the clearance. But he has a substitute! Lucha will still be put on the map tonight, because Rey Mysterio nominates Rey Fenix! The fans fire up as now the Immortal Firebird gets to have his WrestleMania debut!

Jackie congratulates Fenix on this moment, but also asks Rey Mysterio to think back to when he was a young man of 14 starting on his journey. What would 14 year old Rey would say? Rey got choked up hearing this news. Thinking back to skinny little 14 year old Rey Rey, he had so many things in his way, no one believed he could be a wrestler. But when he finally made his way at about 17, there is one man who encouraged him, and that was Konnan. The fans have a mixed reaction to that name, but Rey says Konnan brought Rey to the founder of AAA, and that was 1992. Now it is full circle as WWE and AAA are working as one.

If you’d told Rey that in 1992, that’s crazy, let alone Rey being in the WWE himself. So this is such a great time for lucha libre, for wrestling, and for the fans that make this possible. He can’t even stop there! His first PPV was in 1994, Worlds Collide. So to be part of that again here in 2025 is unbelievable. Jackie thanks Rey for his time, and wishes him well. But then, will Fenix avenge the King of Lucha against the would-be greatest, El Grande Americano?

 

Backstage interview with the New Day.

Byron Saxton is with Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston ahead of their WWE World Tag Team Championship match with the War Raiders. Byron says he still has respect for The New Day and what they’ve accomplished, but facts are facts. It has been over four YEARS since they’ve held tag team gold, and they’ve never won at WrestleMania. If they lose tonight, what does that do to the stock of New Day? Woods says Byron probably thinks because he’s won his fantasy football league three years running, he can be a head coach in the NFL? NO. This is the greatest tag team to ever exist, TWELVE reigns, and now they’re gonna make it lucky 13!

Woods vows that New Day will win big in Vegas and walk out the champions! Kofi says how dare Byron bring this negativity on their auras. Does Byron know what they do when they come to Vegas for the tag titles? Y’know what happened the last time? Facts are facts, they WON, and celebrated on The Strip! So instead of casting all this negative energy, take that energy and use it to appreciate the greatness that stands before him! Also, take this cheap ass suit, and his cheap ass questions, and like everyone else, drop down before them, raise your hands to the heavens, and THANK GOD for the New Day!

New Day storms off, talking trash more, and Byron thanks God that the interview is over. But will Woods & Kofi end the reign of Erik & Ivar? Or will they run into Ragnarök once more?

 

An incident has occurred backstage!

Bayley is down! Lyra Valkyria, security, and Adam Pearce all check with her. Bayley says it is her shoulder, and then Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez mockingly ask what happened. Lyra assumes it was them, Pearce asks if it was them, and Liv denies it. They are just now arriving! But guess Bayley won’t be competing tomorrow? That’s fine, they’ll take a forfeit win. No, there WILL be a match tomorrow, so get your minds right. Oh, what? They’ll have a 2v1 now? They’ll take that. Lyra says she can go for that. Pearce says no, she can’t fight this alone. But she has 24 hours to find a new partner. Lyra is stunned, but can the Morrigan turn her fortunes around?

 

Jelly Roll sings God Bless America.

 

Every legendary story has heroes… and villains.

HHH says, “These days, it can be hard to tell which is which. You think by now you’d know the whole story. This is just the beginning. All the history, all the legends. This time, right here, it’s the realest it’s ever been ever. Look around. We’re everywhere. Vegas is about to find out how real this s*it can get. You know what I like about legendary stories? Sometimes, they’re true. So tonight, who’s it gonna be? Heroes? Or villains?”

Triple H is in the ring!

The CEO, the Hall of Famer, the Game, is here and the fans cheer him on. HHH has a mic to say, “It is my distinct honor to welcome you to Las Vegas, where for the first time ever, right here, right now, all of you are being seen by the entire globe, live, now! So with that said, WELCOME TO WRESTLEMANIA!” The pyro goes off on the massive WWE Casino stage! But what fireworks will we see in the ring here tonight?

 

Salvatore Ganacci is here.

He isn’t just a world renowned artist and producer, but he’s repping for both Fatal Fury AND Main Event Jey Uso!

WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Gunther VS Jey Uso!

Der Ring General has certain been the villain of this story, looking down on Main Event Jey Uso, then absolutely brutalizing his brother, Jimmy, in front of Jey and the world. Jey has the people on his side, and even makes his entrance with the Las Vegas Raiders cheerleaders, aka the Raiderettes. Jey wears a brand new vest to show he IS the main event, no matter where he goes, but will he soon be the champion? Or will Gunther be like Thanos and make his victory inevitable?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Jey can YEET Gunther once and for all!

The bell rings and the fans fire up as Jey and Gunther slowly circle. They stare down, the fans fire up more, and then the two circle a bit more. They tie up, are in a deadlock, and they go around. Gunther puts Jey on the ropes, then in the corner. The ref counts, Gunther and Jey clinch, but then Gunther CHOPS! Jey DECKS Gunther! The fans fire up as Gunther bails out! Gunther sees what he’s really dealing with this time, and the fans fire up behind Jey. Gunther slowly steps back inside, circles with Jey again, and the two tie up. Gunther headlocks for the takeover, and he grinds Jey down. Jey endures, keeps his shoulders up, and fights to his feet.

Jey powers up and out, but Gunther runs him over! Jey gets up to run Gunther over! Gunther gets up to CHOP! Jey staggers but ENZIGIRIS! Gunther bails out again, Jey tells him to get back in here. Gunther paces around the outside, then steps back inside. The fans “YEET! YEET! YEET!” as Jey and Gunther reset. They tie up, and Gunther KNEES low! Gunther then UPPERCUTS, and whips Jey to the corner. Gunther runs up but Jey dodges! Jey scoops but falls over under Gunther’s weight! Gunther covers, TWO! Gunther stays focused as he looms over Jey. Gunther puts Jey on the ropes to CLUB him in the chest!

The ref counts, Gunther lets Jey off the ropes to whip him across the way. Jey ducks ‘n’ dodges, scoops and SLAMS! The fans fire up again as Gunther flounders. Jey runs up to GAMANGIRI! Jey then hurries up top, but Gunther CHOPS Jey off the corner! The ring count now starts on Jey and Gunther soaks up the heat. Jey sits up at 5 of 10, drags himself up, and he rolls in at 7. Gunther stomps Jey down, drags him back up, and UPPERCUTS him back down! Gunther paces around Jey, stands him up, and CHOPS! Gunther CHOPS Jey again, and CHOPS again! Gunther whips Jey corner to corner, runs up and CHOPS again!

Jey sputters, Gunther soaks up the heat, and then Gunther whips the other way. Jey comes back to SPEAR! Cover, TWO! Gunther survives but Jey has evened things up! Both men are down and the fans fire up again. Jey throws hands, but Gunther pushes him back. Jey throws hands, but the ref keeps Jey from going after Gunther in the corner. Gunther uses that to CHOP! Gunther drags Jey up, but Jey fireman’s carries! SAMOAN DROP! The fans fire up as Jey goes up top. Gunther CHOPS Jey first! Gunther climbs up after Jey, for a SUPERPLEX! Jey rises up, but Gunther SHOTGUNS him down! Gunther drags Jey up, and POWERBOMBS! High stack, TWO!

Jey survives and Gunther grows frustrated. Gunther looms over Jey, shakes his head, and then drags Jey back up. Gunther talks trash, then SLAPS Jey down! Gunther hauls Jey up again, but Jey RANAS free! Then SPEARS!! Jey hurries up the corner, USO SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!! Gunther survives again and Jey is beside himself! Gunther bails out, Jey crawls to the ropes, and Gunther grabs the belt? Gunther wants to just leave?! The fans boo and Jey protests but the ref keeps him back. Jey builds speed and DIVES but into a BELT SHOT! The ref missed all that as he avoided getting hit! Gunther goes up, GUNTHER SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!?!?

The fans are thunderous as Jey survives, but Gunther rains down HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! SLEEPER!! Jey is caught but the fans rally as hard as they can! Jey crawls, reaches out, but Gunther squeezes as tight as he can! Jey reaches out, Gunther grabs that arm and uses it to turn Jey away! Jey still fights around, reaches out with a foot, but Gunther shifts to a BULLY CHOKE! Jey still has the ROPEBREAK! Gunther lets go in frustration but the fans rally even harder. Gunther tells Jey to give up, because it isn’t happening! Gunther KNEES Jey into the corner again and again, then CHOPS! Gunther paces while the fans boo.

Jey rises up, and he eggs Gunther on! Gunther CHOPS Jey, and then Gunther CHOPS him again! Gunther CLUBS Jey down, then paces. Jey UPPERCUTS Gunther! Gunther wrenches, CHOPS, then CHOPS him down! Gunther holds onto the wristlock, soaks up the heat, and then drags Jey back up. Gunther scuffs Jey, taunts him, but Jey stands to CHOP Gunther! Gunther CHOPS Jey! Jey HEADBUTTS Gunther! Gunther CHOPS! Jey ROCKS! Gunther ROCKS! Repeat! The fans fire up as the shots keep going back and forth! Gunther LARIATS but Jey stays up! Jey LARIATS but Gunther stays up! Now LARIATS go back and forth!

Jey UPPERCUTS, but Gunther BOOTS! Jey LARIATS and down goes Gunther! The fans fire up again as both men rise. Jey nods, but Gunther clamps on the SLEEPER!! Jey slips around to GERMAN SUPLEX! Gunther flounders and Jey grits his teeth. Both men go to the corners and rise again. They both run in, and Gunther’s SHOTGUN hits first! Gunther reels Jey in, but Jey slips right out of the bomb, to POWERBOMB GUNTHER! The fans fire up and Jey aims, to SUPERKICK! Gunther wobbles, drops to his knees, and Jey aims from the corner! Gunther rises, into a SUPERKICK! And a SPEAR!! Jey hurries to climb back up!

The fans are thunderous as Jey aims, USO SPLASH!! But he bounces off the cover, so he just goes right back up! USO SPLASH!! Another roll, and another climb! Vegas is electric as Jey hits a THIRD USO SPLASH!!! Gunther flounders around but Jey keeps his eyes locked on target! Jey drags Gunther into a SLEEPER!!! Jey puts on the body scissors, GUNTHER TAPS!!! JEY WINS!!!

Winner: Jey Uso, by submission (NEW WWE World Heavyweight Champion)

Las Vegas YEETS as hard as they’ve ever YEET’D before! Jey not only avenges Jimmy, he not only dethrones Gunther, but he does it with a submission! And speaking of Jimmy, he is here to celebrate with his brother! This is now the YEET Era, long may Jey reign!

 

WWE World Tag Team Championships: The War Raiders VS The New Day!

Erik & Ivar took these titles back in the cold of December, but they have been keeping the fires burning ever since. Meanwhile, Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods were so cold to Big E, and have been nothing but radioactive ever since. What will be the fallout of this war between world class tag teams?

BASEMENT CROSSBODY against the apron! Ivar puts Woods in, tags Erik, then Ivar climbs. Erik TOSSES Woods for Ivar’s FLYING ELBOW! Cover, TWO! Woods survives being squashed again and again, but Erik waits on Woods. Erik runs up, but Kofi saves Woods!

The fans fire up as Erik builds speed, but Woods UPPERCUTS him! Woods fires hands, then he throws Erik into barriers! Then Woods puts Erik in the ring, tags Kofi, and Woods puts Erik through the ropes. Kofi goes up to DRAPING SENTON onto the apron! Erik flops to the floor but Kofi puts him back in the ring. Kofi covers, TWO! Kofi rains down fists, then he stomps away on Erik. The fans boo the New Day, and Erik fires body shots! Kofi fires back, mule kicks, then FAMOUSERS! Cover, TWO!

Cover, LIMIT BREAKER ELBOW breaks it!! Kofi covers Ivar now, TWO!! Ivar survives that sudden turnaround and the fans rally up. “NEW! DAY SUCKS! NEW! DAY SUCKS!” Woods tells them to shut up!

Jade Cargill VS Naomi!

The Big 3 looked ready to take over the WWE, but in the shadows, a bitter paranoia grew, and it drove The Glow into taking a dark turn. She tried to end The Storm, but The Storm has come back with a vengeance! Will Jade leave Naomi far more than just Jaded tonight? Or will everyone learn to #ProceedWithCaution around Naomi?

As part of her entrance, Naomi rips her way through caution tape along with a new theme song. As for Jade, she gets Jim Cantore to report on the storm that’s hit Las Vegas! The bell rings and the two tie up, for Jade to SLAM Naomi down and rain down fists! Jade whips Naomi to a corner, stomps away on her, but the ref counts. Jade UPPERCUTS Naomi, TOSSES her across the way, and the fans rally up. Jade runs in and RAMS Naomi! And RAMS her! And RAMS her again!

The fans are torn but Naomi leaves Jade behind on the outside.

Naomi soaks up cheers and jeers but Jade is up at 5 of 10. Naomi DROPKICKS her back down! Naomi goes out, stalks Jade, and she SMACKS Jade off the steps! Then Naomi goes up to the apron, BLOCKBUSTER to the floor! Naomi drags Jade up again, puts her in the ring, and then stalks Jade. Jade sits up, but into a SPIKE HEADSCISSOR! Cover, TWO! Jade stays in this and Naomi is frustrated, but she talks trash on Jade. Naomi throws down hands, then fires a flurry of forearms! The fans rally up for Jade but Naomi sits her up, to KICK her back down! Naomi soaks up more cheers and jeers, then she drops a leg! Cover, TWO!

Naomi stays on Jade with a headlock, and even traps an arm for a unique clutch combination. The fans rally, Jade fights up, and Jade fires body shots! Jade lifts, Naomi slips free and CHOP BLOCKS! Naomi runs, but into a scoop! And BACKBREAKER! Both women are down and the fans fire up! Jade rises and she rallies on Naomi, to then FLAPJACK and SUPERKICK!

Cover, TWO! Naomi survives but Jade isn’t done with her!

The Hall of Fame Class of 2025 is on stage!

The fans cheer for the Immortal Moment of Bret Hart VS Stone Cold Steve Austin, as well as Typhoon and the family of the late-great Earthquake, Michelle McCool, and of course… TRIPLE H! The Game makes his entrance again, and the fans cheer as he shakes hands with all the legends and friends on stage.

 

Triple Threat: CM Punk w/ Paul Heyman VS Seth Rollins VS Roman Reigns!

Triple H opened the night mentioning legendary true stories, and this is certainly an epic tale. It was 12 years ago that the Second City Saint and The Wise Man brought in a shield to keep him on top as Best in the World. But after the Hounds of Justice broke free of their leashes, things fell apart. And not just because the Architect betrayed the Big Dog, but because CM Punk left. But now, Punk is back, and if you believe Rollins, things are only getting worse because of him. Heroes, villains, or just men with their own agendas, that’s for history to decide. This battle is not just a grudge match but a match that decides the future of WWE’s identity. Who wins and finishes this story?

Rollins is ready to #SailIntoTheBlack as he wears an all black robe with a wild collar, and then uses a flamethrower! The tron changes to reflect how Rollins is ready to #BurnItDown, but then the lights go out…? Because surprise, Rollins took off the black robe to reveal his shining white suit underneath! The fans sing “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” and they max out the sound level meter! But then Roman Reigns makes his entrance and the singing changes to chants of “O T C! O T C!” The Tribal Chief needs nothing more than to lift his finger and set off the pyro before going to the ring. Overhead, the extra trons show off the many legends of the Anoa’i Dynasty as Roman walks past.

Roman gets his second round of pyro, and that leaves one last entrance. “Don’t let these tattoos fool you, I’m a great man of discipline. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t do drugs. I’m straightedge.” CM Punk repeats the words from one of his very first WWE vignettes. “My addiction is wrestling.” This Fire Burns, “you don’t have the fire inside that I have. I have won championships, I have made friends, and I have made enemies. Tonight is MY night. Tonight is MY main event. Pressure is my playground. My fire has always been burning. My addiction is wrestling.” The fans chant for him, and Punk makes his entrance to Living Color playing Cult of Personality LIVE!

The fans sing along, Jelly Roll and George Kittle rock out, and Punk even joins in to get a selfie video with the band. Punk then kneels down, Heyman by his side, to say, “IT’S CLOBBERIN’ TIME~!” The song wraps up and the fans chant for “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” even harder now as he stands on the corner. Heyman is technically in Punk’s corner, but he stands about halfway between Punk and Roman, communicating his conflicted feelings about this situation. Roman also finds himself in an awkward situation, because who is he supposed to hand the ula fala to? He simply sets it in the corner, as he is not happy with Heyman.

The bell rings and the fans fire up already! Rollins smirks, Punk grins, but Roman frowns as they all stare down. Rollins suggests he and Roman could work together for a minute, but Roman shakes his head no. Punk says y’know what, they should settle this. Punk goes outside to talk with Heyman for some “advice,” but Punk is already playing mind games. Rollins tells Roman that Punk doesn’t deserve to be here, he shouldn’t be here, so they can get rid of him together. Roman UPPERCUTS Rollins down! Roman bumps Rollins off buckles, then off more buckles! Roman climbs up, rains down fists, and the fans count along.

Punk jumps in and CLUBS Roman at eight of ten. Punk then CHOPS Rollins! Punk CHOPS Rollins again, then goes back for Roman. Punk KICKS Roman, but Roman ROCKS Punk! Punk ROCKS Roman, ROCKS him again, then whips. Roman LEAPING LARIATS Punk down! Then he LEAPING LARIATS Rollins down! Roman LARIATS Punk up and out of the ring! The fans fire up as Roman sees Rollins is on the apron. Roman goes outside, runs in around the way, and hits a classic DRIVE-BY DROPKICK! Roman snarls, and he SMACKS Punk off the apron! And SMACKS him again! Roman asks Heyman, “Is this your guy?!”

Roman whips Punk but Punk reverses to POST Roman! The fans fire up and Rollins DIVES! Direct hit and Roman hits barriers! Rollins then RAMS Roman into more barriers! And then into the steel steps! The steps go tumbling away and the fans sing for Rollins. But then Rollins looks across the way to see Punk. They both run up, and they brawl! The fans fire up and Punk THROWS Rollins into barriers! Rollins still drags Punk down, they scrap, and Rollins kicks Punk away. Punk comes back, the brawl continues, and Punk LARIATS Rollins into the crowd! The fans fire up as Punk hops up onto the barriers, to AX HANDLE Rollins down!

Punk grabs a chair and JAMS Rollins with it! And SMACKS him with it! That memorabilia just got even more valuable! Rollins uses a stanchion to JAM Punk up! And then Rollins uses the trash can to SMACK Punk! Punk falls, the fans rally and duel, and Rollins SMACKS the can on Punk’s back! And then on the back of Punk’s head! Rollins sits Punk up, tells him he’s done, but Punk kicks low! Punk reels Rollins in and snap suplexes Rollins onto the trash can! Rollins writhes but Punk brings him back up. Punk fires hands, Rollins fires back, and they brawl further along the way. Rollins shoves a trash can into Punk, but Punk CHUCKS it at Rollins’ head!

Punk brings Rollins back towards ringside and the brawling continues. But Roman finds them, and he FLIES into the crowd! The fans lose their minds as Roman wipes Punk and Rollins out! Roman rains down fists, then he TOSSES Punk onto the Hydration Station! Roman drags Rollins up to TOSS him onto Punk! Both men flop to the floor, and now fans want tables! Roman looks at the special edition announce desks and says let’s do it! He clears off the Spanish announce desk, drags Rollins up, and he SMACKS Rollins off the steel steps! Roman grabs the prop Prime bottle to SMASH it on Rollins’ back!

Roman puts Punk in the ring, SMASHES Rollins with the Prime bottle prop again, then he ROCKS Punk. And ROCKS him again! And HEADBUTTS! Punk kicks Roman’s bad leg! Punk CHOPS Roman, puts him in the ring now, then hurries to a corner. Punk mocks the “OOAH~” and runs, but Roman picks Punk up! Roman has a fireman’s carry for a SAMOAN DROP! Rollins springboards in, but into an UPPERCUT! Roman snarls and the fans cheer on “O T C! O T C!” Roman raises the one to the sky, then locks ‘n’ loads! The fans fire up as Roman aims, but Punk dodges the superman punch to SWINGING NECKBREAKER!

Rollins is up, Punk storms over, but Rollins RAMS him! Rollins slingshots, but into the fireman’s carry! Rollins fights free, shoves Punk at Roman, so Punk SHINING WIZARDS Roman! Rollins runs up, but Punk CALF KICKS! Punk grins as he has targets in both corners. Punk runs at Rollins, SHINING WIZARD! Punk runs at Roman, another SHINING WIZARD!

Heyman says that is his Tribal Chief! He had to! Heyman presents the chair to Roman, and Roman stands up so he may take it. Heyman acknowledges Roman Reigns, and Roman SMACKS away on Punk! The fans are torn again, but Heyman reminds Roman that Rollins is still here! Look! The perfect parallel! Do it, My Tribal Chief! Roman nods, and he has Heyman step aside. Roman winds up as Rollins stands, but HEYMAN LOW BLOWS ROMAN!?!? Rollins saw that on the tron, and Heyman picks up the chair to present to his NEW Paul Heyman Guy! Rollins’ favor with Heyman presents itself at the most opportune time!

The fans sing “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” Rollins aims at Roman as Heyman watches from the corner. Rollins winds up, and SMACK to the back!! Then CURB STOMP!!! Cover, ROLLINS WINS!!!

Winner: Seth Rollins, by pinfall

The more things change, the more they stay the same! Rollins said Heyman was a snake, but it seems Rollins is very much the same! Rollins sits cross-legged a la Punk, and Heyman says he ACKNOWLEDGES his Chief Visionary! Rollins and Heyman leave both Roman and Punk behind, will they both #BurnItDown until all that’s left is Rollins’ vision for the WWE? As for Roman and Punk, what do either man do now that they have been abandoned by The Wise Man?


My Thoughts:

An incredible WrestleMania Night 1, and just a great night in a vacuum. But a three hour preshow with not even one match? That’s a waste in my opinion. I do appreciate the story beat of Bayley being taken out and Lyra needing a new partner, even if it seems like a headscratcher in the moment. Best bet is perhaps Lyra’s new partner is for a big return, i.e. Becky Lynch. Becky joining Lyra could change the math so that the Faces win the titles to then go to NXT. It adds more elements of drama and intrigue given it is Tatum Paxley & Gigi Dolin lying in wait. Tatum likes Lyra, but Lyra looks up to Becky, Tatum could get jealous and be very aggressive towards Becky.

Jey VS Gunther opening the main card may disappoint some people because of how Jey is the Royal Rumble winner and this was a world title match, but it was still an awesome match. Jey also got to clap back at the haters/doubters, because while he did use all his signatures, he also showed the grit to hang with Gunther, and then wins with a submission. I think that was Jey’s first submission win ever, and that is a great way to really stick it to Gunther, who also prides himself on his own grit. Either way, the story was going the way of Jey winning because of how Gunther looked down on him and then brutalized Jey’s brother. This is great for Jey, and I can’t wait to see what’s next.

New Day VS War Raiders was great stuff, and what a clever cheat for New Day to win. New Day are already obnoxious as Heels right now, they’re gonna be insufferable now that they’re champs again. Jade VS Naomi was great, especially with the total remake of Naomi’s character. I honestly didn’t realize that was a paper banner until Naomi tore through it, it looked almost like a screen. Naomi and Jade brought out some new stuff, and Jade got a great win here. From here, I suspect Jade moves up to a title shot, but I also feel like Naomi won’t let this grudge go without some bigger, crazier match.

Great stuff with LA Knight VS Jacob Fatu, though I really am surprised Solo stayed out of this. At the same time, it was pretty clear Jacob was going to win, so maybe Solo felt he didn’t need to interfere. Great win for Jacob, can’t wait to see where the story with Jacob and Solo goes from here. Rey Mysterio unable to compete was a bummer for him, but Rey Fenix and El Grande Americano gave us an awesome match on short notice. El Grande’s vignette was hilarious because the narrator clearly spoke over Chad Gable to be the voice of El Grande. And the sepia tone mariachi entrance was also a riot, loved it.

Grande cheating to win was fine, he is the Heel after all. And given Fenix’s moveset, the loaded mask was the perfect counter. Here’s hoping that Rey Mysterio is healthy enough to face Grande for Backlash. Also, what awesome news about the acquisition of AAA for WWE to make big collaborations from here on, starting with the Worlds Collide special. Not sure why it’s in the afternoon but I can’t be sure what’s going on in June that they’d need to do that. Either way, it’ll be great to see El Hijo del Vikingo have a match with some WWE stars. Let’s just hope Vikingo stays healthy, it’s well known that he’s been injured a few times the past 12 months because he goes too hard, too fast.

For how rough the build was in the middle, aka that worked shoot promo, Tiffany VS Charlotte was great stuff in the ring. They visually did the “anything you can do, I can do better” by having very similar ring gear, and it all contrasted well with how gritty they got at parts. I think Tiff even legit chipped a tooth… But in the end, Tiff winning is the right call. Tiff is the young up-and-comer, she’s proven she can hang in the ring, and more or less can hang on the mic, and the fans still love Tiffy Time. Charlotte can work to try again, or move on to a different title like the Intercontinental or even Women’s World Championship, because nothing’s keeping her from moving to Raw.

And then an awesome main event. Great entrances for all three men, and we got great action as well as great use of continuity between these three men. Heyman of course plays a part in this, and while I saw Heyman joining Rollins as a possibility, I did not think they’d go through with that. But what a powerful image for Heyman to betray Roman like that and stand with Rollins. Rollins and Heyman as a duo is going to be must-see stuff, and I’m pretty sure their next step is to go for a top title. I am glad that this mostly ends with Roman having no Wise Man, because I’ve been wanting to see Roman try to find his own way on his own since this thing with Roman, Heyman and Punk started.

My Score: 9.4/10

PLAY BY PLAY

It’s the Stand & Deliver Countdown Show!

Join Megan Morant & Sam Roberts in discussing, analyzing and predicting all the action we’re about to see in Sin City!

 

The D’Angelo Family meets backstage.

Tony D asks the others how they’re feeling, and both Luca & Stacks say they’re good to go. Rizzo says it is time to show the world that The D’Angelos still run the streets. Tony says they made it out of that brawl healthy, but Dark State is dangerous. The D’Angelos know the mission, they do this as a family. Luca goes to tape up, and Stacks says this reminds him of the time they took it to the Bondettos. That was a good fight. Stacks apologizes for Tuesday but Tony says that’s behind them. Stacks had a good reason, and they’ll make it through as a family. The Don and The Underboss hug it out, but will no one be safe against Dark State?

 

Interview with Hank ‘n’ Tank.

Blake Howard says what a ride it has been for both men. But how’d they become best friends? Oh, it is a long tale that goes back in time. The NIL, Next In Line, was the bridge for college athletes to enter the WWE. Tank signed up, Hank made the transfer from security to the ring, and together, they fought their way while learning their way. Then from friends to a team, take us on that ride. Hank feels the fans have been on that ride with them from the very beginning. Tank appreciated the Street Profits reminding them to just be who they are and it’ll take them all the way. They remembered being on the gridiron, being security guards, and used that work ethic to get them this opportunity.

Speaking of, they got through that grueling gauntlet, and now they’re right up against Nathan Frazer & Axiom. How do you game plan for two men who themselves have dominated for nearly a year? Hank says you can’t take away anything from those two, given how talented and athletic they are. But you can’t help but notice moments in every match where there’s just a bit of indecisiveness. There’s just something they don’t have that Hank ‘n’ Tank do. You gotta have the sixth sense, the continuity, being on the same page. And Fraxiom just… Doesn’t have the jiggle in the middle. They don’t have the Belly Boy Wrestling. Time to bring some beef back to those belts!

Blake says this could be the moment we get smash mouth wrestlers back on top. What would winning these titles ultimately mean to Hank ‘n’ Tank? Tank says Blake just said it, it’s how the gold is on the line, in the palm of their hands. Tank would be lying if he said there wasn’t a tingling in the loins. They’re gonna be in Vegas! Some people run from the tingle, but no, this is opportunity. They will take that opportunity and run with it together, knowing there are only two truths in this world: “We hit first, we hit last!” They’re coming down the road, doing 35 over 85, and you can hear ’em coming with a HONK HONK! Then will the team that truly never slows down be the one that wins?

 

Countdown Show – WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship #1 Contenders Fatal 4 Way Elimination Match: Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson VS Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley w/ Shotzi Blackheart VS Jacy Jayne & Fallon Henley w/ Jazmyn Nyx VS Roxanne Perez & Cora Jade!

NXT has the best women’s division in wrestling today for a reason. There’s so much depth that these eight women are all worthy of this opportunity. But just like Lyra Valkyria & Bayley went through a gauntlet, the team that outlasts the rest will have the golden tickets to the titles! Who will be meeting the champions, whoever they will be, on next week’s NXT?

Las Vegas: the sights, the sounds, the glitz and the glamour.

But before this ostentatious oasis took over the desert, there were humble foundations with not so humble dreams. Pioneers staked their claim to make dust into gold. And almost a century later, that thirst for gold is strong as ever. New pioneers forge their own paths of fortune here on the Vegas Strip. For some, that means claiming the top spot. For others, it means taking your first steps into preeminence. Some fortunate few hit the jackpot early, leaving others to cope with envy. Out here, every gamble risks dealing with the house. Just like the pioneers forever changed this desert skyline, it is time for NXT to blaze a new trail in Sin City. Who will Stand & Deliver in Las Vegas?

 

NXT North American Championship: Ricky Saints VS Ethan Page!

The Revolution has come to NXT, and it is Absolute! But will he still be a champion? Or will All Ego tear down this saint here in Sin City?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who hits paydirt to open the show!

That was an absolute banger, and Saints is still golden! Will Ricky continue to revolutionize NXT? What must All Ego do to be back on top?

 

NXT Tag Team Championships: Nathan Frazer & Axiom VS Hank ‘n’ Tank!

The saying goes that styles make fights, and these two teams certainly have different styles and friendships. Fraxiom may be dysfunctional at times, but they always come together and make it work. But the big belly boys bring the noise as they are two men with one mind. But will it be HONK HONK here in Las Vegas? Or will the NXT Tag Division #NeverSlowDown?

The fans are thunderous for “NXT! NXT!” and Axiom KCIKS, SUPERKICKS, runs, but Tank CLOBBERS him! Frazer SLINGBLADES Tank! Frazer goes up, PHOENIX- NO, he has to roll through as Tank dodges!

Fraxiom was on the same page, but Hank ‘n’ Tank were a well-oiled machine! The big belly boys nearly break themselves, but they have their breakthrough moment! Hank ‘n’ Tank show respect by offering handshakes. Fraxiom push those aside, so they can hug it out! The baton has been passed, how far can Hank ‘n’ Tank run with these titles?

 

Backstage interview with Penn!

Yes, Penn from Penn & Teller is here, and he is very excited for this time of year. He’s been a Vegas native for a long time, people love their magic show. Some don’t believe they can do magic, and those kind are annoying. Lexis King steps in and says he’s one of those guys! It’s all a ruse! Smoke ‘n’ mirrors! You can fool the simpletons of Vegas, but Lexis is an intellectual. Oh, is he? Well, that Heritage Cup looks nice. Maybe they can keep it safe in this cage? Oh, he gonna turn it into doves or something? King plays along, putting the cup in the cage.

But then there’s a noise inside the cage! Tada! Teller is ready to YEET! Stop that! Give him back the Cup! Will Lexis learn to believe and not be such a muggle?

Las Vegas gives this a standing ovation, because this is going to be one to remember! Trick’s reign is still the past, and Je’Von’s future is still far off. Will The Ruler always be The Ruler of NXT?


My Thoughts:

A truly amazing Stand & Deliver here, from start to finish. For one, it’s been a long time since the WWE has given any “Premium Live Event” a match in the preshow. The Fatal 4 Way tag match was great stuff, though I’m a little disappointed Roxie & Cora are out just because Roxie is selfish again. But I guess Roxie and Cora can feud now as part of Roxie’s departure from NXT. Gigi & Tatum winning is great, though, as that perhaps does keep the women’s tag title match for WrestleMania in question. Gigi & Tatum are Faces, so you would think they challenge the Heel team of Liv & Raquel. But given Tatum’s history with Lyra, that’d be a fun match up there, too.

Ricky VS Ethan was great stuff, especially as the opener to the main card. Great stuff with Ethan working on Ricky’s back and Ricky fighting to overcome that. Great win for Ricky, and I suspect we still see Eddy Thorpe and/or Wes Lee come back around for the next feud with this title. Battleground: Tampa is a month away, we can really build to something good with either Eddy or Wes. Fraxiom VS Hank ‘n’ Tank was an awesome tag match, and certainly the best for Hank ‘n’ Tank, especially with their win. Fraxiom can now move on to either do singles title stories or even be called up, and Hank ‘n’ Tank are going to be a lot of fun as the tag champs.

That Six Pack Ladder Match was awesome stuff, even better than the last one of these we saw, at least here in WWE. And honestly, Sol Ruca could’ve just won with that skin-the-cat to the top, but I suppose spamming Sol Snatcher to take out the rest of the field was fine. Great moment for Sol as she’s been in NXT for quite a good amount of time without a reign. And now she’s a double champion because she really did win the Women’s Speed Championship last Wednesday, not that we ever see Speed titles on TV. But this is good stuff for Sol, and we can see her and Zaria be a bit tense a la Fraxiom from here on while Sol also defends the title against the other contenders.

The Six Man Tag was great stuff, but that vignette beforehand definitely had a foreshadowing element to it. Stacks betraying Tony was definitely the right call, as I don’t think either Stacks or Tony is going to reach the top of NXT while still being attached to each other. Plus, Dark State is coming in strong and this win gives them some legitimacy past just being troublemakers. I was a little surprised it was Osiris in this match but he finally got to show what he can do, and he is definitely a physical force. These four can easily go for any and all titles, whatever combination they want, and they’ll definitely help define NXT going through the rest of the year.

The Women’s Fatal 4 and the Men’s Triple Threat were both absolute classics, you could’ve had either one be the main event, but it was fine that the women went first. Jaida definitely rose to the occasion for being, as she rightfully pointed out on Tuesday, the only homegrown talent in the match. That’s proof of how good she is, and how good NXT is for a homegrown talent to be as good as three women who have been all over the world and in many different promotions. But in the end, Vaquer retaining was fine, it works that each contender now has to find their way back up for perhaps a proper 1v1 feud.

And the Men’s Triple Threat is definitely one of NXT’s best Triple Threats, maybe the best period. Je’Von IS the future, but clearly Oba is still the present. Amazing stuff from all three men, though I think Trick was a step behind on when he was supposed to yank the ref out of the ring. That or there was a logistics mistake on where the pin and the ref were supposed to be to start. But Oba retaining is also a fine choice. Trick is basically one match away from a call-up, and Je’Von has a bright future ahead of him being that he is only just now turning 20 years old. But if not Trick and Je’Von, I’m not sure anyone is dethroning Oba just yet. I guess we’ll see if anyone returns or debuts within the next few weeks.

My Score: 9.5/10
