PLAY BY PLAY
A caravan of vehicles pulls into the arena.
And Triple H is in the first car! He goes to the second, whispers some things, and then heads to gorilla!
Brock Lesnar is in Long Island!
The Beast and his Advocate QUIT SmackDown, and now they’re free agents returning to Raw! Paul Heyman gives the usual introduction for the “Conqueror of Cain,” the ultimate champion of WWE, BRRROCK! LESNARRR! And for those who missed SmackDown, Lesnar has had enough of Fox. Lesnar has returned to Raw to go hunting for Rey Mysterio! You see, after the WWE Draft, Bliss-Cross was traded to SmackDown for draft considerations, while Lesnar has a “No Cut” contract, thanks to Heyman being his advocate. The WWE can’t fire Lesnar, because they have an investment in Lesnar. Therefore, Lesnar’s contract goes back to Raw. That doesn’t mean anyone can quit a show and switch shows, because Lesnar is different, Lesnar is special, Lesnar is entitled “to do whatever the hell he wants!”
And Heyman knows what fans are thinking. “Does that make Brock Lesnar better than me?” Yes, he is better than “each and every single one of you.” Lesnar is better than all of you at home, and all of those “bitches in the back” that think they’re tough guys! Which brings Heyman to the point: someone knows where Rey Mysterio is! So where is he!? Would they like for Lesnar to come over the rail and slap every man in the audience?! What would they even do? “Yo, I’m from Long Island, I’ll slap him back!” There’s no one man enough here tonight that can slap Brock back, and that includes Mysterio, who wasn’t man enough to defend “his punk son, Dominic,” from Lesnar! So someone will give up Mysterio. Someone will rat him out, point him out and Lesnar will “commit a felony” against that cabron! Or else, Lesnar will turn the entire Nassau Coliseum inside out and upside down like a true F5! Heyman says tonight will be the funeral of Mysterio’s career, at the hands of the reigning, defending, undisputed WWE World Heavyweight Champion, BROCK, LESNAR!
Lesnar and Heyman head out, and the hunt begins! Will anyone be able to stop Lesnar from destroying Rey Mysterio?
Lesnar asks staff where Mysterio is.
When they say they don’t know, Lesnar wrecks the poor man into the catering table! The Beast is roaming the halls, will Raw survive his wrath?
Raw returns as Lesnar rampages on.
Lesnar shouts to know where Mysterio is, and a staff member points him to a parked vehicle. Lesnar storms over to the sedan, and rips the door off, to drag out… Not Rey Mysterio. Whoever this was is spared, but Lesnar is still looking.
The Kabuki Warriors VS Charlotte Flair & Natalya!

Heyman and Lesnar return to confront commentary.
They ask Jerry Lawler, Vic Joseph and Dio Maddin if they know where Mysterio is tonight. Who even are the other two? But Heyman knows The King knows all. So Jerry, where is Rey? Tell them, or else the Beast will be unleashed. And if Lesnar attacks, no one can resuscitate Lawler this time. But wait! Dio stands up to Lesnar! Only to get a knee and an F5 on the announce desk!!

Winner: Buddy Murphy, by pinfall
The Best Kept Secret is out, and the secret is that Murphy is on a roll! He was once unstoppable as Cruiserweight Champion, will he be unstoppable on the way to a new title?
Seth Rollins is here!
But after facing The Fiend in Falls Count Anywhere, he is no longer the WWE Universal Champion. Rollins takes up a mic and asks everyone, “What’s next for Seth Rollins?” It has been a rough week, and even a rough few months. Rollins isn’t dumb, he hears the fans. He knows many loved seeing The Fiend win. But to be honest, he doesn’t care. That doesn’t concern Rollins. It is that The Fiend is taking the title to SmackDown. What concerns Rollins is that Lesnar is back. What concerns Rollins is that everything he worked for over the last year, changing the culture for the sake of guys like AJ Styles, Braun Strowman and even Baron Corbin, “that’s all a wash.” It’s all gone and we’re starting over. #RedesignRebuildReclaim just didn’t work, and he isn’t sure how much more he can give. So to answer what’s next, Rollins doesn’t know.
But Triple H is here! And with his entrance, the NXT logo is right on the titantron! HHH joins Rollins in the ring and asks him, “You don’t know what’s next?” Fans chant “NXT! NXT!” and HHH says it’s funny how history repeats itself. Whenever Rollins doesn’t know what’s next, he crosses paths with HHH. A wise man recently said, if you want to know what your future is, you have to retrace your past. Maybe Rollins’ past is his future? They go way back. Rollins was unsure of what’s next, he became NXT Champion and put the brand on the mat. Rollins was unsure, and The Shield was born. Then when Rollins was unsure again, and he became WWE Champion. It seems to be a pattern. But were those things for Rollins’ benefit or HHH’s? “Does it really matter?” In the end, Rollins walked away better.
Now, here’s an interesting moment. Rollins doesn’t know what’s next, HHH does. Everyone saw Friday Night SmackDown, when NXT “ran roughshod on that joint.” Because the roster was stuck overseas. And that was smart! And Adam Cole, the NXT Champion, beat Daniel Bryan in a match! NXT made a statement that it is here, it is real, and that they are on fire! The world wants to know what is NXT up to next, and that goes for here tonight. HHH isn’t alone, so what is NXT up to next? But HHH is out here right now to know, what Rollins is going to do next. What Rollins does next will affect what HHH does next. Survivor Series is now Raw VS SmackDown VS NXT, and NXT has something to prove. If Rollins doesn’t know what’s next, if Rollins doesn’t feel like he has what it takes, HHH knows. HHH knows how to make Rollins great! We’ve seen how this works. Rollins is either with HHH, or against him.
And as such, out come the UNDISPUTED ERA! Adam Cole leads Roderick Strong, Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish to the ring from the crowd! HHH says it again, Rollins is either with him, or against him. Rollins thinks it over, but who is this coming to the ring? It’s the OC! AJ Styles, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson are here to defend Raw! The Undisputed Era bail out as the OC run over! But then Dominik Dijakovic and Damien Priest appear! They and the Era attack the OC! Adam Cole SUPERKICKS Styles! The Raw locker room runs out to run NXT off, but the damage has been done! And yet, Rollins is untouched. Rollins storms out, still unsure of what to do next.
Rollins confronts Triple H backstage.
If HHH wanted to light a fire, mission accomplished! If Rollins is going to NXT, he’s doing it as the top guy! He wants Adam Cole for the title, TONIGHT! HHH likes that. “Welcome back. Challenge accepted.”
Andrade Almas & Zelina Vega VS Sin Cara & Catalina!
This Mixed Tag Match comes from La Muneca taking offense to Sin Cara’s sidekick throwing her around! Vega believes she and Almas are already the greatest mixed tag combination ever, and now fans will watch Vega embarrass and humiliate “that butt ugly woman that has to hide her face behind a luchador mask.” And we also get to see Sin Cara be exposed as both a man with no face, and a man without a prayer of ever defeating El Idolo! But will things go as Vega hopes in this newest phase of the rivalry?
The teams sort out, and Almas rushes Sin Cara! Almas fires off, runs, but Sin Cara tosses him out! Sin Cara builds speed but Vega swipes at him! But Catalina takes a page of out Vega’s book, and she CANNONBALLS onto Almas! Sin Cara fetches Almas into the ring as Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and both Almas and Sin Cara are down! The referee checks on both men but they’re okay to continue. They crawl for their corners, but Almas then clobbers Sin Cara to keep him from Catalina. Almas CHOPS Sin Cara to a corner but Sin Cara flops down. Almas drags Sin Cara up and hoists him to the top rope. Almas forearms and climbs up, but Sin Cara resists a superplex. Sin Cara hits back and CHOPS, but Almas brawls with him. They teeter, Almas grabs the mask! Almas DECKS Sin Cara, but Sin Cara comes back with forearms! Sin Cara hops back up, grabs hold of Almas, and fires off forearms! Sin Cara adjusts, SUPER SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB! But Almas goes flying, Sin Cara can’t cover! The two crawl for their corners again, hot tags to Vega and Catalina!
Catalina dodges and dropkicks Vega! And again! Catalina fires up and whips Vega corner to corner. Vega reverses but Catalina hops up to leap! Crossbody hits but Catalina drags Vega to a fireman’s carry. Vega claws at the eyes! Catalina runs in but gets buckles, and a jump kick! Vega runs, wheelbarrow, but Catalina makes it a facebuster! Cover, but Almas drags Catalina off! Sin Cara clotheslines Almas out! Then Sin Cara runs, but Vega blocks his path! Vega kicks but Sin Cara blocks it, to hand it off to Catalina. Catalina spins around, drags Vega up into the GORY BOMB! Sin Cara still FLIES onto Almas! Catalina runs corner to corner but into a boot! Vega hops up, leaps, but the huricanrana is blocked! But Vega huricanranas Catalina into buckles! SPIKE-RANA! Cover, Vega and Almas win!
Winners: Zelina Vega & Andrade Almas, Vega pinning
Vega has her first win on Raw! But that’s just another win for this devious duo. Will it lead to big things for them both?
Rusev is here!
And he has a mic to speak. “I’m sure everybody’s going to agree with me when I say tonight is the night to end all this stupid drama!” But Rusev isn’t here to bicker with future ex-wife Lana or insult her, though he could. He is here to destroy “Bob Lashley” and say man-to-man, if Lashley wants Lana, he can have her. “But your ass is MINE!” With that, Lashley makes his entrance, and this grudge match of Lana’s lovers begins!
Or, not, as Lashley is on crutches. Lana is with Lashley as Lashley says as much as he’d love to beat Rusev up around the ring, he is not medically cleared. Lashley suffered a “debilitating injury” of a torn groin. He didn’t tear the groin during Crown Jewel or train to fight Rusev. He tore his groin making love to Lana, “in ways you can only fantasize about.” Lana kisses Lashley, but knows Rusev isn’t worried about their love life. Rusev does want a fight, so this is a very lucky day. Someone has volunteered to fight Rusev. And he will kick Rusev’s ass! Who does she mean? It’s DREW MCINTYRE! The Scottish Terminator will do Lashley’s dirty work for him! Will Rusev be able to CRUSH McIntyre all the same?
Rusev VS Drew McIntyre!
The bell rings and Rusev circles with McIntyre. Fans rally for “Rusev Day!” as Rusev dodges McIntyre once, but gets a Glasgow Kiss HEADBUTT! McIntyre CHOPS Rusev then throws big haymakers. McIntyre punches, stomps, repeat, to then whip Rusev corner to corner. Rusev lariats back! Rusev rams his shoulder into McIntyre over and over, but lets up at the ref’s count of 4. Rusev throws hands but McIntyre puts Rusev int he corner. Rusev dodges to throw more hands and some stomps of his own! Rusev lets up at 4 and then throws more haymakers. He whips but McIntyre kicks back hard! McIntyre stomps and punches Rusev over and over, but the ref pulls him off. McIntyre grinds his boot into Rusev, and Lashley and Lana both smile.
Fans rally with “Rusev Day!” as McIntyre stands Rusev up. Rusev counter punches and kicks back! Rusev runs, into a big elbow! McIntyre rains down furious rights, then stomps Rusev’s hand. McIntyre drags Rusev up to CHOP, but Rusev is getting mad! Rusev scoops and THROWS McIntyre out of the ring! Now Lashley and Lana are upset as Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and McIntyre has Rusev down with a chinbar and armlock. Lashley and Lana laugh at Rusev’s suffering, but Rusev fights his way up. Long Island rallies for Rusev as he back bumps McIntyre. Rusev throws haymakers and chops, then runs, but into a SPINEBUSTER! Jackknife cover, TWO!! Rusev escapes but McIntyre keeps his cool. Lashley is a little worried, even as McIntyre talks trash to Rusev. “You’re nothing but a bitch!!” Rusev is furious as he LARIATS back! Rusev staggers about, elbows McIntyre away, then runs out to clothesline more! He hits a big back shoulder in the corner, then a running heel kick! Fans fire up as Rusev stomps the mat. Lashley can’t believe McIntyre is in trouble. Rusev aims at McIntyre, but the kick misses! Throat chop and more haymakers, stomps and CHOPS! McIntyre hoists Rusev up but gets caught with haymakers from Rusev. Rusev leaps over, runs through, and double crossbodies collide!
Both men are down, gasping for air. Fans rally up as the two slowly rise. McIntyre is on Rusev but Rusev hits first! They brawl back and forth with big right hands. McIntyre mule kicks but Rusev throws more hands. The brawling just picks up speed, and McIntyre clubs away. MACHKA KICK! But McIntyre is sent out of the ring! Rusev hurries to fetch McIntyre, and he bounces McIntyre off steel steps! And again! But wait, Lashley SMACKS Rusev with a crutch! Of course he lied about his torn groin!
Winner: Rusev, by disqualification
Lashley beats Rusev down, and rams him into barriers! McIntyre lets Lashley do as he pleases as he puts Rusev into the ring. Lashley has the crutch again, but Rusev ROCKS him with rights first! Rusev gets to throw hands over and over, then he throws Lashley into the post! Fans fire up as Rusev glares at Lashley. Rusev then takes up the crutch for his own! But here comes an RKO!? The Viper strikes outta nowhere! Lana is laughing as Orton gives Lashley thumbs up. It seems Team Flair still rolls together even after Crown Jewel. Lashley stomps away on Rusev while Orton and the referee argue. Orton adds stomps to Rusev, but here comes Ricochet! Team Hogan also sticks together as Ricochet hits Orton and dumps Lahsley out! Ricochet springboards but Orton gets under, only to be denied an RKO with a PELE!
Ricochet dropkicks Lashley, and he knocks into Lana! The Ravishing Russian feels some of the retribution! Ricochet defends Rusev, but will the alliance of flight and might stand strong against the Viper and the snakes?
Charly Caruso interviews Becky Lynch.
It has been quite the journey for The Man, but her toughest test is coming at Survivor Series. We are getting a Triple Threat Champion VS Champion VS Champion match, Becky VS Bayley VS Shayna Baszler! This is Becky’s favorite time of year, because things are getting tribal. Becky loved the invasion on Friday. After all, she did lead an invasion of her own once. But this year is different, Raw VS SmackDown VS NXT in a “dangerous triangle.” Usually Becky is the one out for revenge, but she’s the target now. She beat Bayley’s bestie, Sasha Banks, and sent Shayna’s bestie, Ronda Rousey, into hiding after WrestleMania. But then speaking of, the Queen of Spades takes over this interview!
The NXT Women’s Champion sits with the Raw Women’s Champion and says hello. Shayna’s been waiting a long time for this face-to-face. And she knows all about “Becky Lynch, the shining example.” And yes, Shayna is friends with Ronda. They trained together. Becky pinned Ronda at WrestleMania. But to make one thing clear: Shayna is not Ronda. At Survivor Series, Shayna won’t take her eyes off Bayley, but she wants to say face to face, Shayna will beat Becky in that Triple Threat. And the only thing Becky should worry about is which one of her limbs will belong to Shayna. Becky doesn’t know Shayna that well, so she doesn’t know if she respects her, or wants to slap the head off her. But it’s good they got to talk. Now Shayna can doubt herself like Ronda did. Becky won’t let her eyes off Bayley, but she’s coming for Shayna all the same.
The champs stand up, and Shayna agrees, it was good to have this talk. Becky wants Shayna to bring her best, because it’s time to see who the real Baddest Woman on the Planet is. The top three women in the WWE will go head-to-head-to-head, but who walks out THE woman?
Six Man Tag: The OC VS Humberto Carrillo & The Street Profits!
AJ Styles and the Best Tag Team in the World walk out, but the Phenomenal One makes it clear, “I am not in the mood tonight, Long Island, so sit down and shut up.” Styles says the facts are: Gallows and Anderson are officially THE best team in the world, and they have the World Cup to prove it! Another fact: Styles is still the Phenomenal WWE United States Champion! And a third fact: The OC don’t give a DAMN about NXT. Fourth fact: The next time one of them punks cross their paths, the OC makes sure they never leave Florida again.
But another fact is that Montez Ford, Angelo Dawkins and Ultimo Ninja make their entrances together. They all have mics, and Ford says that the OC is feeling themselves in #StrongIsland. And they see the World Cup trophy, so nice. They’re officially the Best, Tag Team in the WOOOOOOOORLD~! Even though the Profits never got to be in the match. But the Profits beat The OC, too. You can’t say that. Can’t say what? That they beat the OC? Nope. Dawkins can’t say the Profits beat the OC in their first match on Raw?! No! But someone that should say something is Humberto Carrillo: “The Street Profits beat the OC two weeks ago on Raw!” Styles tells them to shut up, but Carrillo just says it again! Styles warns Carrillo to shut up or he’ll make him. No, say it in Espanol~! So Carrillo does! But Dawkins can see why Styles is hating on Carrillo: Mamas love to swipe right on dem dimples.
But it’s not about swiping right, it’s about swiping left on the OC, and how the Profits and Carrillo #WantTheSmoke! Will the young stars get that smoke and that win after the break?
Raw returns and Styles is already ramming Carrillo in a corner. Styles CHOPS then whips, but Carrillo goes up and LEAPS! Flying headbutt takes Styles down, Carrillo covers, TWO! Carrillo drags Styles up to wrench and tag to Dawkins. Dawkins hops up and drops ax handles on the arm. Dawkins wrenches Styles now, but Styles gets the ropebreak. Styles then sucker punches Dawkins and tags in Anderson. The Machine Gun fires off uppercuts on Dawkins in a corner then headlocks. Dawkins powers out and hurdles over then hurdles again. He throws Anderson tot he ropes to then dropkick him down! Dawkins drags Anderson up to a scoop, Ford tags in, slam and Ford adds a dropkick! Dawkins splashes, Ford covers, TWO!
Ford keeps on Anderson with an armlock, and sticks his tongue out at Gallows. Fans “YEAH!” with Ford as he wrenches more, but Anderson knees low! Anderson throws uppercuts on Ford, then whips him to ropes. Ford ducks and runs to hop over and boot back! Styles trips Ford up, and Anderson BLASTS Ford with an uppercut! Anderson distracts the ref and Gallows CLOBBERS Ford on the outside! Anderson goes out to fetch Ford and bump him off the apron. Anderson puts Ford in to cover, TWO! Tag to Styles, and the OC mug Ford. Styles throws haymakers then chokes Ford on the ropes. Gallows gets a cheap shot as the ref reprimands Styles. Styles covers, TWO! Styles brings Ford up but Ford throws hands! Styles knees low, whips but Ford reverses and sends Styles out! Stylse runs in, Ford dodges, dropkick takes Styles down!
Fans rally as both men crawl for their corners. Tag to Anderson, and he runs in, to get a dropkick! Tag to Gallows, he grabs Ford and suplexes, but Ford slips out! Ford leaps up but is caught! Gallows pushes Ford back and BOOTS him down! Tag to Styles and the OC isolate Ford, big clothesline in the corner. Anderson tags in, rocket kick! Tag to Gallows, and he corner splashes Ford! Uppercut to a cover, TWO! Ford is stuck in a thrashing chinlock as Raw goes to break!

Anderson hits Dawkins for good measure, then goes back to Ford with an uppercut! Cover, TWO! Anderson is back on Ford with a chinlock, but fans still rally. Ford fights his way up again, Anderson elbows him down, then whips Ford to the corner. But Ford uses that to hit Styles! Ford dodges and sends Anderson into the post! Gallows tags in, grabs Ford by the throat, but Ford fights free. Ford BLOCKBUSTERS on the run! Both men are down and crawling for their corners. Styles is back and Humberto reaches out, they get the hot tags! Ultimo Ninja rallies on Styles! He boots, and shotgun dropkicks!
Fans fire up with Carrillo as he hits a corner clothesline! He snapmares Styles to a basement dropkick! Then a somersault moonsault! Cover, TWO!

Carrillo runs into Styles’ boot, then Styles forearms Carrillo away! Styles springboards but Carrillo gets under to mule kick, front kick and flapjack, into a POWERBOMB! Cover, with feet on the ropes!! Styles and the OC win!!
Winners: The OC, AJ Styles pinning
That was dirty to say the least! The Best Tag Team in the World and the Phenomenal One steal one from Carrillo and the Profits, but will they still run roughshod over Raw?
IT IS HAPPENING!
Brock Lesnar accepts the challenge, and Rey Mysterio gets a shot at both revenge and the WWE World Championship! Will Mysterio make his vengeance that much sweeter when he once again reaches the top of the WWE? Or will Lesnar destroy Mysterio once and for all?
The Viking Raiders VS The East Hampton Polo Boys!
The raid has come to Long Island! And now knowing that that all three brands will pit their Tag Team Champions against each other, will Erik and Ivar be able to keep their undefeated streak going?
The bell rings and Erik WRECKS Polo Boy #1 with a forearm and German Suplex! Erik drags the other into the ring, and then hits him with shotgun knees! Ivar gets his as he rams Polo Boy #2 into barriers, and basement splashes! Erik has Polo Boy #1 in a backbraeker, to gut wrench gut buster! Tag to Ivar, and he climbs up top, gut wrench powerbomb and VIKING SPLASH! Cover, The Viking Raiders win!
Winners: The Viking Raiders, Ivar pinning
Polo shirts and sweaters across the shoulders are no match for the Warbeards! Erik and Ivar take to the mic to give fair warning. “We stand here as men bold enough to admit that at Crown Jewel, we suffered defeat.” They congratulate The OC for being crowned the Best Tag Team in the World. “Enjoy your trophy, boys.” Because victory is often times nothing more than survival. Gallows and Anderson should “thank the gods” for winning that one battle. But NOTHING stops the raid! Will the Viking Raiders be able to prove they’re the best tag team champions today when they take on The Revival and the Undisputed Era at Survivor Series?
NXT Championship: Adam Cole w/ Triple H VS Seth Rollins!
The Undisputed Era is #DrapedInGold, but The Architect might #BurnItDown and replace his WWE Universal Championship with THE title on the black and gold brand! Will Rollins end up joining HHH’s army by winning? Or will he suffer the same fate as Daniel Bryan on SmackDown?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and the battle of inaugural versus current begins!
The two circle and tie up, and Rollins waistlocks. Cole switches, but Rollins wrenches out to a wristlock. Cole rolls, rolls and wrenches back, but Rollins does the same! Rollins puts Cole on the ropes but the ref counts for the break. Rollins gives Cole a pat on the shoulders, but Cole sneers. They circle and tie up again, and go around the ring. Rollins puts Cole in a corner but Cole turns it around. Cole lets up to give a shove. Fans rally and duel, and Rollins runs Cole over! Rollins throws haymakers that stagger Cole, and then he clotheslines Cole out! Rollins slingshots, PESCADO! Rollins bumps Cole off the apron then put him in the ring. HHH watches intently as Rollins powerbomb lifts, but Cole fights out. Cole kicks low then runs, into a mule kick! But he avoids the Curb Stomp and bails out. Rollins pursues and throws Cole into barriers!
Rollins drags Cole up and throws him into more barriers! HHH is right there as his champion is in trouble and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Cole grinds Rollins down with a chinlock. But Rollins fights his way up and fights out with a CHOP! Rollins runs but into a BOOT! Cole covers, TWO! Cole looms over Rollins as HHH intensely stares. Cole toys with Rollins and throws forearms. Rollins gets mad as he stands and throws forearms back! The brawl is on! Rollins CHOPS and haymakers, then runs, but dodges the boot and another chop to PELE! Cole staggers to PELE back! Rollins hits a rolling elbow! Then he blocks a kick to kick out a leg, and he adds a SUPERKICK! Cover, TWO!! Cole survives and HHH seems conflicted. HHH wants to recruit Rollins, but he doesn’t want Raw to beat NXT.
Rollins runs in and hits Cole with a forearm smash. But then Cole puts Rollins on the apron, only for Rollins to hit him away. Rollins springboards, into a SUPERKICK! Cover, TWO!! Rollins survives and Cole grows frustrated. But Cole staggers to a corner, hops up and watches Rollins rise. Cole leaps, but the Panama Sunrise becomes a sunset, TWO and Rollins BUCKLE BOMBS Cole back! Cover, TWO!! Rollins grits his teeth while Cole bails out. Rollins runs and DIVES! Direct hit sends them both into barriers, but Rollins gets up to DIVE again! He puts Cole in and takes aim, springboard flying knee! Rollins suplex,es but Cole counters to the Last Shot 1.0! Cover, TWO!! Cole is learning why Rollins is a Grand Slam Champion! Fans rally up as Cole gets to the ropes. Cole wants Rollins to rise, and Rollins slowly sits up. Cole runs, SHOTGUN KNEE! Cover, TWO!!
Cole is losing his cool and HHH seems just as concerned. But Cole brings the knee pad down and takes aim. Cole runs, but Rollins ducks, rolls Cole up, TWO! Double clotheslines wipe both men out! Fans rally and HHH has come out of his seat! Cole rolls to the apron and heads up top. Rollins crawls then rises, he’s up top fast! SUPERPLEX! Roll through, to FALCON ARROW! Cover, TWO!! Cole survives, showing the heart it took to become NXT Champion. Rollins goes to ropes and fans rally up again. Rollins stomps as they chant, “BURN IT DOWN!” HHH glares and Rollins takes aim, but the Undisputed Era appear! Fish & O’Reilly anchor Rollins and Strong hits a BIG knee strike!
Winner: Seth Rollins, by disqualification; Adam Cole is still NXT Champion
The Era clobber and stomp Rollins, but HHH does not protest. But here comes the OC! And more of the Raw locker room! But ore NXT superstars are here! Riddle, Dijakovic, Ciampa, and more, they’re all brawling in the ring! The fighting spills out of the ring and Long Island is fired up! It is chaotic all around the ring, Ciampa punching Ricochet while the Undisputed Era hit whoever comes close! Ricochet gets clear of the crowd to springboard and SHOOTING STAR! The One and Only bowls everyone over and Long Island loses their minds! Riddle rises, as does Priest and Ricochet, and the brawling continues! Things keep going, as Keith Lee FLIES!! The Limitless One bowls everyone over as Raw goes off the air!!
My Thoughts:
A great Raw to continue the Survivor Series build! Naturally, NXT would invade Raw the same as they did SmackDown, and a lot of great stuff was confirmed tonight. I am so glad to hear we’re getting the Women’s Champions and Tag Team Champions in Triple Threat matches. I know Revival VS New Day is Friday since they didn’t get to last week, and that match could go either way, but either team would fit very well into the tag champion triple threat. Of course the Viking Raiders win against more jobbers, but I think it was good looking ahead for them to call out The OC, so that at some point we will get Raw Tag Team Champions VS Best Tag Team in the World to see who is really the best. Though looking back, that again means they should’ve rearranged things in the Tag Team Turmoil. At the same time, the AOP need to come in and do very much the same, questioning the validity of either team’s accolades when AOP hasn’t been around for months.
I really liked how they handled the interview segment. Shayna did a pretty good job confronting Becky, and Becky did a good job in her response. I fully expect Bayley to have her own response on Friday, probably with Sasha speaking up, too, as she was one of Shayna’s targets. Actually, to really spice things up, have Bayley and Banks return to Full Sail. Sure, Shayna has the Women’s WarGames match to worry about, but with her also having this triple threat, it makes sense she’ll end up with a split focus. Bayley is also about not being overshadowed, so what better way than to be the one to fire back? Then in the Women’s Tag title scene, things are going about as I expected. It was a great match, and I figured Natty and Charlotte would win. This will result in a tag title match and I expect Paige to get revenge on Asuka and Kairi by helping Charlotte and Natty.
Some of the non-build things were still pretty good. Murphy VS Alexander was good but obviously tame compared to what they’ve done in the past. It has been said that Murphy is one of Heyman’s favorites and his win streak might be proving that. The Six Man of OC VS Carrillo & Profits was really good, and has seemingly wrapped things for now. I’m still expecting Kevin Owens to come back into things for the US Championship, but I bet Murphy would make a good contender in his own right. I was glad we got the mixed tag, but I feel like just this once, Almas and Vega should’ve lost. It just doesn’t seem like a proper feud if it’s one-sided. And while it was obvious Lashley lied about his bad groin, Rusev VS McIntyre was going pretty well, and now we’re perhaps getting Rusev & Ricochet VS Lashley & Orton before Rusev and Lashley settle things themselves.
I am really loving everything going on with the top titles and the top guys. Lesnar back on Raw, wrecking poor Dio but then getting rightfully wrecked back by Rey, all good stuff. Rey VS Lesnar for the world title, I really hope there’s a way Mysterio wins. Cain Velasquez and/or Dominic need to help, for sure. Meanwhile, Rollins’ moment of doubt and HHH trying to recruit him, that’s great story there, too. Rollins is obviously being booked strong as he almost wins that NXT Championship in a great match with Cole. But at the same time, this was the only way Rollins was going to stay Team Raw without losing, and we got that awesome brawl! I didn’t even realize Keith Lee had gotten into the ring until he was running, and WOW what a leap! I don’t know how they’d manage it, but I’m starting to think we do still need something like the best of Raw, SmackDown and NXT in a Triple Threat Elimination match. Maybe not 5v5v5 for 15 people, but four or three man teams might work.
Honestly, with it turning into a four-day weekend, use all four shows for crossover matches, from SmackDown to WarGames to Survivor Series to even Raw after. Then both networks, Fox and USA, should be satisfied with getting great viewership courtesy of NXT, the actual top brand of this company.
My Score: 8.5/10

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Rollins goes to Roman and says Roman never knows. That is why Rollins is here! Without Heyman, Punk, Rollins, Moxley, the Bloodline, Roman knows nothing! But Rollins still insists that Punk doesn’t belong. It should be Roman and Rollins. Punk is the outsider!
Rollins wants Roman to help him finish Punk! Rollins goes out and BOOTS Punk down! Rollins clears off English commentary, and he wants to do this like old times! Roman walks over, but he seems unsure about this. Rollins CLUBS away on Punk, and he tells Roman that this is the key! Roman still isn’t sure, but then he shouts, “PICK HIM UP!” Rollins lifts Punk up, Roman shouts at Heyman that he told Heyman this would happen! Rollins waits on Roman, but then Roman DECKS Rollins! And he lifts Punk to POWERBOMB him through the desk! It actually falls apart! The fans are going nuts while Roman paces around Rollins.
Roman drags Rollins up, POWERBOMB through the Spanish desk!! Roman drags Rollins up and into the ring, builds speed, and he SPEARS Rollins!!! Cover, TWO?!?!?! HOW?!?! Roman is again beside himself, and Vegas is torn between the different chants and songs! Roman goes out to get Punk. “Who asked for a favor, huh!?” Roman drags Punk up, tosses him into the ring, and Roman storms around while Punk sputters. Roman clamps on the GUILLOTINE!! Heyman is distraught as Roman squeezes the air out of Punk! Roman even adds the body scissors! Punk fights, flails, and pushes through to a prawn hold! TWO!!!
Roman lets go, but Punk clamps back on! ANACONDA VICE!!! Roman endures, Heyman is still distraught, but Punk pulls on the hold! Rollins rolls back in, and he grabs Punk’s legs! Rollins steps through, flips Punk off, and turns over to get Punk in a SHARPSHOOTER!! Rollins uses Bret Hart’s move, making Punk the Stone Cold in this situation! Punk is turning red, but Roman has Rollins in the GUILLOTINE!! And right into the body scissors! But Rollins powers up to lift Roman! Rollins powers up to NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO!! And back to the GUILLOTINE!! Rollins flails but he’s stuck in the middle of the ring!
PUNK CURB STOMPS ROMAN?!?! And then fireman’s carry, GO TO SLEEP for Rollins!!! Cover, TWO!?!?! Rollins survives, Punk is frustrated, and Heyman needs to sit down. Heyman sits on the steel steps as he watches in pain and frustration while the fans rally up even harder. Punk looks between Rollins and Roman, and he chooses to pick Roman up. Rollins flounders his way over as Punk works to fireman’s carry. Rollins grabs a leg so Punk snatches him to the fireman’s carry! GO TO SLEEP again! SPEAR outta nowhere!! CURB STOMP OUTTA NOWHERE!!! All three men are down and Vegas is erupting all over again!
Heyman leaves the steel steps to go to the timekeeper’s area, and he grabs a chair…?! But then… Who is he going to bring it to? Roman and Punk are nearby, so who is Heyman truly loyal to? Roman and Punk both look Heyman in the eye, and they both call for the chair! Heyman looks to Roman, and shakes his head. He slides it to Punk!! The fans are going nuts as Heyman gets on the apron, and he helps Punk stand so he can go after Roman. But then HEYMAN LOW BLOWS PUNK?!?! Did he just sucker Punk to help Roman?! Heyman apologizes profusely to Punk but Roman is loving this! The fans are going nuts all over again as Heyman says Punk made him choose!
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
