PLAY BY PLAY
Raw opens to Seth Rollins and his followers already in the ring!
Fans boo but the Monday Night Messiah takes it all as praise. “Welcome to Monday Night Raw!” Rollins is proud to stand here before us all, and must admit the name we gave him, he wasn’t so sure of. But it has grown on him, because he has come to realize how hard it is for fans to truly speak for the heart and make difficult decisions. So Rollins is there to speak our truths and make those tough decisions for us, as he leads us all into the future! Fans boo harder because that’s not true. But before the future, we must discuss the past, such as last week. Murphy and AOP took on Kevin Owens and the Viking Raiders in Six Man Tag Elimination action. Somehow, someway, Kevin would last until it was just him and Rezar, but Rollins helped his disciple win in the end.
“As you can see,” Rollins’ boys were victorious. But Kevin and the Raiders wouldn’t let it go and interfered with the Triple Threat that would’ve led Rollins back to Brock Lesnar and the WWE World Championship. “Forgiveness is a virtue,” but Rollins’ patience grows very thin when it comes to Kevin Owens. Rollins is not preaching divisiveness, but of unity! And Rollins is not leaving the ring until that message is heard! In that case, here comes Kevin! Fans cheer as Kevin has a mic to respond, but Rollins says he first needs to warn Kevin. “Do not get in over your head.” Samoa Joe got hurt, Ivar got hurt, and it is too little too late. Whether anyone likes it or not, Rollins is the WWE’s Monday Night Messiah! So if Kevin wants to fight alone, he will fall alone.
Kevin says Rollins running his mouth sounding “stupid as hell,” is compounded by how he looks stupid as hell. And even so, Rollins keeps talking. But Kevin says that he just keeps fighting! And Rollins is wrong, because Kevin is not alone. The Viking Raiders are here! Rollins says finding partners was never the problem. It was keeping them standing upright. Kevin tests the Raiders quickly, and they’re just fine. They’re all sick of Rollins’ talk, so we do this now! And a brawl breaks out at the ramp!
But here comes SAMOA JOE! He gets Rollins from behind with the COQUINA CLUTCH! AOP rushes in to save Rollins, but the Raiders follow! The brawl sends Rezar out, then Akam! Murphy is alone to get a STUNNER! Fans fire up as Kevin, Joe and the Raiders run the ring! But will the 8 Man main event be even more chaotic?
Becky Lynch heads out to the ring!
The Man comes around, but not in regards to her man’s business. Becky has business of her own to take care of, because she wants her rematch tonight! Will she still be Raw Women’s Champion after this epic tiebreaker with Asuka?
Raw Women’s Championship: Becky Lynch VS Asuka w/ Kairi Sane!
Raw returns as The Kabuki Warriors make their entrance. Before the Empress enters the ring, she introduces herself and the Pirate Princess, then laughs at Becky. She even makes a song out of her taunting. But then Asuka tops it off with her “Easy peasy!” Will it be that easy for the Empress?

Mojo Rawley & Riddick Moss VS The Street Profits!
The WWE 24/7 Champion said on Twitter that he is THE One True Champion of the WWE. However, he and his lineman haven’t been doing so well in non-title situations. Will Mojo and Moss turn things around in the second quarter? Or will the Profits be up in that same quarter?
Before the match, the Profits grab some mics as fans chant, “We Want the Smoke!” Ford asks Dawkins if Dawkins sees what Ford sees. Dawkins does. “Mojo frontin’.” He’s puffing himself up and that 24/7 Championship, but he’s been hiding behind Riddy Mo’. But we all know what Mojo is known for: riding Gronk’s coattails! Mojo may not like this, but he must like that it’s WrestleMania season! The Profits are up, and #WeWantTheSmoke! The teams sort out, and it’s Mojo starting with Dawkins.
Mojo swings on Dawkins but gets a dropkick! Cover, TWO, and Mojo knees back. Mojo throws Dawkins down by his headbands then tags in Moss. Dawkins DECKS Moss with one hand! And Ford is fired up! Tag to Ford, Dawkins gives Moss the SPINE BUSTER! WORLD STAR SPLASH! Cover, The Profits win!

Winner: Riddick Moss, by pinfall (NEW WWE 24/7 Champion)
The lineman turns on his quarterback! And now the #RiddickRegimen has the 24/7 football! Will Moss be taken that to the house?
Raw again checks on Becky.
She’s being guided to the ambulance but she still insists she has no need to go. Becky says she’ll go, by driving herself! “Say hi to my friend, Shayna.” Everyone tries to reason with Becky but she still drives off. Has the Man lost her marbles?
Raw presents: The VIP Lounge!
Montel Vontavious Porter brings back his WWE talk show with the biggest guest he could possibly start with! MVP talks with Drew McIntyre after the break!
Raw returns and MVP has the mic. Fans cheer for MVP as he says, “It’s been a long time. I shouldn’t have left you.” But big things are still poppin’, little things are still stoppin’, and MVP is still BAWLIN~! Enjoy the view, because the VIP Lounge is still for people like him, who are better than you. After 10 years, MVP couldn’t think of anyone better than the man who single-leggedly eliminated The Beast! Ladies and gentlemen, Drew McIntyre is here! The Scottish Stud struts his way down the ramp, and the tiny bouncers check their list. McIntyre doesn’t care, he knocks the velvet ropes over and joins MVP in the ring.
McIntyre has a mic as he says, “Sup, Cali?” And sorry about the ropes, that was an accident. That’s okay, that is Drew being Drew. MVP is thrilled to have his old pal here. McIntyre is finally realizing his potential! He eliminated Lesnar, won the Men’s Rumble and is going to WrestleMania! McIntyre hears the “magic word” and must now point to the sign. BOOM! MVP is so proud of McIntyre for what he has done, and what is going to do. Focus on that prize. But don’t worry about naysayers and non-VIP’s and what they’re saying.
Wait, people have been saying things behind his back? No one in Oakland! MVP is up to something, so he should spit it out. Nah, MVP is sincere right now. Some people say that even with all the tools and attributes, McIntyre just isn’t ready to be WWE World Champion yet. Fans boo, because they’re not the ones saying that. But again, don’t listen tot he unimportant people. MVP and Drew can change all that. Wait, MVP and Drew? Did Drew and MVP win the Rumble? Well, no, but McIntyre’s best days are ahead of him while MVP’s are behind. So McIntyre can realize his dream and MVP can keep all the distractions out of his way. McIntyre needs someone like MVP.
Fans boo but MVP tells them to be quiet. This is a conversation between them, not the fans. But McIntyre still includes the fans on the conversation. McIntyre knew there’d be a catch. MVP wants to be a business manager? An “advocate”? Like a much better looking Paul Heyman. But the difference between Lesnar and McIntyre is that McIntyre doesn’t need an external brain thinking for him, talking for him, and sure as hell kissing up to him. Hey, MVP has never kissed up to anyone! He’s an ass kicker. The two stare down but McIntyre goes to leave. MVP won’t let him! So he gets a Glasgow Kiss!
McIntyre tosses the table aside, then throws off his jacket and his shirt! Fans fire up as MVP stands up to get the countdown and CLAYMORE! MVP goes flying into his own couch! BAWLIN~! McIntyre kicks things into another gear as he’s heading down the Road to WrestleMania!
Angel Garza w/ Zelina Vega VS Cedric Alexander!
El Latino es en la casa, and after his Raw debut, he’s all smiles. Will he be smiling when facing the Ebony Lion in his own return?
Before the match, La Muneca gets a mic to speak. Garza hushes the booing fans as Zelina promises to show us why Garza is a “man’s man.” By that she means the footage of last week, when he decimated his own cousin, Humberto Carrillo, and then went on to do the same to Rey Mysterio. Garza takes the mic to asks if we saw all that. “And yes, I am a man’s man.” No other man has measured up to Garza. But he is also a ladies man, because no woman can resist him. Wait, is that Carrillo!? Ultimo Ninja is back and TACKLES Garza in the ring!
Alexander watches as Carrillo throws Garza around then throws hands! Security and referees get the two separated, and Zelina shouts for them to get Carrillo out of the arena! Carrillo is dragged away and only now does Garza talk tough. The ref tells Garza his match must still go on, and Alexander waits with a smile of his own. The bell rings and Garza hides in the ropes. Zelina distracts and Garza DECKS Alexander! Garza drags Alexander up into a straitjacket stretch and bends Alexander back!
Alexander endures as Garza thrashes him around. Garza pulls back, but Alexander rolls through to put the hold on Garza! Garza headbutts backwards and throws Alexander out. Alexander boots back,t hen steps in to huricanrana! Alexander clobbers Garza with forearm after forearm, then throws a strike fest! Fans fire up as Alexander runs corner to corner for a super forearm! Snapmare and basement dropkick! Garza bails out while Alexander kips up. Alexander builds speed and slides, bugt Garza blocks the dropkick to throw Alexander to the ground!
Garza rips up floor mats, but he has to go after Alexander first. Alexander sends him into steel steps! And barriers! And then into the ring! Zelina panics as Alexander aims and springboards… DROPKICK from Garza! OFF COME THE PANTS! Garza drags Alexander up, underhooks, WING CLIPPER! Cover, Garza wins!
Winner: Angel Garza, by pinfall
The Age of Alexander was cut short as Garza clips his wings. Will Garza continue to ascend in the Raw and Cruiserweight rankings?
Backstage interview with Rhea Ripley!
The NXT Women’s Champion is here on Raw, but she’s not waiting for Charlotte Flair’s response. She is here to do what needs to be done to get what she wants. But this Sunday is TakeOver: Portland and her title match. Is she perhaps getting ahead of herself? Before Rhea answers, Sarah Logan shows up to get in Rhea’s face. Rhea just shows up and acts like she can get whatever she wants. “Who the hell do you think you are?” She’s Rhea Ripley. Who the hell is Sarah Logan? The Aussie Nightmare heads out, but will the Kentucky Valkyrie make her remember?
Raw returns with a backstage interview of Bobby Lashley.
Lana admires her “hawt hawt husband” get some last reps in as he’s asked about his match with Ricochet tonight. The One and Only won, but Lana says Sara needs to ask him questions with respect. But then Lana says this is Sara’s lucky day. These two have been in sync about Ricochet being “a thief” who stole Lashley’s dream match with Lesnar! His DREAM! Lashley says Ricochet took advantage of an opportunity, but Lashley will make him pay for that. Lashley reintroduces Ricochet to reality, and Ricochet might not even make it to Super Showdown. Which Lesnar can thank Lashley for later.
Sarah Logan heads to the ring!
“If Rhea Ripley wants to know who I am, I am SARAH LOGAN!” Logan will defend her territory by any means necessary! Logan calls Rhea out for a fight! Rhea obliges and appears. Will Logan regret picking a fight with the Riptide?
Rhea Ripley VS Sarah Logan!
Before the bell rings, Charlotte Flair appears! The Queen gets Rhea’s attention and she waves hi. The bell rings, Rhea BOOTS Sarah down! Then reels her in for a LARIAT! Rhea glares at Charlotte as she lariats Logan again. Logan swings back but into a shove and a dropkick! Fans are fired up for Rhea as she drags Sarah up, pump handles and hits the RIPTIDE! Cover, Rhea wins!
Winner: Rhea Ripley, by pinfall
Charlotte “applauds” that dominant victory. But then Charlotte gets a mic as Rhea does. Rhea asks, “Where’s my answer, Charlotte?” She invited Charlotte to challenge for the NXT Women’s Championship. Rhea came to Raw, no answer. Charlotte went to NXT, no answer. Charlotte says that’s how the Queen operates. Or maybe it’s that Charlotte enjoys being “a royal pain in my-” Before Charlotte does answer Rhea’s question, consider this one: after TakeOver: Portland, what if Rhea is no longer champion? Charlotte gives a “WOO~” and now we play the waiting game. Will Rhea survive TakeOver to force Charlotte’s hand?
WWE returns to Hollywood!
WrestleMania 37 will go to the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles to have a star-studded event on the Grandest Stage of Them All! Get ready to walk the red carpet with WrestleMania!
Bobby Lashley w/ Lana VS Ricochet!
The Rocky Mountain Machine promises an All Mighty reality check for the One and Only #1 Contender. But will reality sink in for Lashley that his dream match isn’t happening just yet?
Before the match, Charly interviews Ricochet at gorilla for a response. Ricochet heard the “threats,” but he isn’t going to back down from this fight. Becoming WWE Champion is a dream of 17 years! People tried to intimidate Ricochet, but “this scrawny kid has something that is going to make him last longer than anybody ever.” Taking on Lesnar is the biggest match of his career. And not even Lashley will stop him from going to Super Showdown, even if he has to limp, or crawl, there.

Lashley drags Ricochet up again to put him in the ring. Lashley drags Ricochet up for a snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Lana is annoyed but Lashley clamps onto Ricochet with a shoulder nerve hold.

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
The One and Only is on a roll! If he can overcome a mountain like Lashley, can he defy the odds taking on the reigning, defending, undisputed WWE Heavyweight Champion of the World?
Raw provides a quick update on Becky Lynch.
She has left a local medical facility, yet is on her way back to the arena?! What will The Man have to say when she comes back around?
Randy Orton is here!
The Viper was supposed to explain his actions towards the Rated R Superstar on last week’s Raw, but he couldn’t get the words out. Orton is back tonight to try again. Fans still boo Orton as they did last week, and that doesn’t seem to help Orton’s internal conflict. Orton still gets in the ring and still takes up a mic. Fans continue to boo and jeer as Orton takes a deep breath. The booing gets louder, but Orton manages to say, “I know I still owe everybody an explanation for what I did two weeks ago.”
Orton takes another moment to consider his words before saying, “What I did to Edge hurt me more than it hurt him.” But before Orton can explain how that is, MATT HARDY is here! The Extreme V1 had his own history with Edge back in their early days, and so Hardy wants to hear this explanation in person. We all want to know #WhyRKOWhy, but Hardy knows Orton is wondering why Hardy even cares. Everyone should know the story between Hardy, Edge and Lita. And there was a point in time when Hardy hated Edge, but they were friends at one point. They even stayed in one hotel room together to save money. That was when they were four young and driven kids living the dream! No Mercy 1999 revolutionized ladder matches! And fans know they invented TLC matches!
Those four young kids with dreams went to WrestleMania “and stole the damn show!” But they did it together. That means something, Orton. So when Hardy saw Edge being forced to retire almost a decade ago, that hate just disappeared. In so many ways, Edge and Hardy were the same. They have the same passion for pro-wrestling and for the WWE Universe! And to tell the truth, Hardy couldn’t imagine if “this” was taken from him when he was ready. Edge would often ask Hardy those “What If” questions burning inside. Nine years later, Edge made the most miraculous return ever! And yet, Orton took that away. So Hardy has to ask, “What in the Hell is wrong with you!?”
Orton steps closer, but Hardy sees the RKO coming! Hardy shoves Orton away and even throws his mic at him! Hardy clubs away on Orton in the corner! Fans fire up but Orton shoves Hardy away, to then RKO!! The Viper strikes again and fans boo. But then they start to panic as Orton grabs chairs! Orton wants to recreate what he did to Edge just two weeks ago as he sets Hardy’s head on one chair, and raises the other high! Fans shout but Orton still gives Hardy the CON-CHAIR-TO!! Orton has crushed V1 like he did Edge, and he smirks. The Viper slithers away as fans boo and referees check on Hardy. We still have no answers but there is a question: Will Orton destroy a third icon on the Road to WrestleMania?
Raw returns with a backstage interview with Ruby Riott.
The returning Riott ruined Liv Morgan’s victory with a shocking betrayal. They were best friends, but best friends know everything about each other. That means Ruby knows the real Liv. Liv is like a little puppy that you have to keep on a leash. Liv can change her hair, her clothes and claim she’s transformed. But Ruby isn’t buying that. Liv will always be a follower, a girl someone needs to babysit. So Ruby is putting Liv in her place to remind her of the truth.
Akira Tozawa VS Aleister Black!
The Stamina Monster is about to pick, a fight, with the Embodiment of the End. But will he be able to survive the shadows? Or will he simply #FadeToBlack?
The bell rings and the two circle. Akira avoids boots and grapples. Fans are on Aleister’s side as Akira slips under to waistlock. Aleister standing switches but Akira swings on him. Aleister shoves and runs Akira over with an elbow! Akira is in a corner but Aleister is on him with forearms and a whip. Aleister runs into a boot and Akira hops up for a missile dropkick! Akira throws hands on Aleister but Aleister shoves again. Akira ducks, dodges, but gets a pop-up KNEE! Fans cheer as Aleister lifts Akira with one foot. BLACK MASS! Cover, Aleister wins!
Winner: Aleister Black, by pinfall
Aleister basically won by knockout! He takes up a mic now to say, “I have enjoyed these pass few weeks, being able to share these intimate moments with you all.” Aleister appreciates each and every person here tonight. Because that is what this is all about. Everyone here tries to escape their “given idea of Paradise one way or another.” Aleister knows about rebelling against that Paradise. But personally speaking, Aleister is starting to “feel like an animal inside of a cage.” “So for those of you who venture out here, know that it is not who is in there with you. It is you who shall be trapped inside this metaphoric cage with ME!” The Embodiment of the End is becoming the Watchman of the WWE. Who will next be cast down into the shadows and #FadeToBlack?
An ambulance arrives! Or rather, returns!
Becky Lynch returns to Raw with sirens blazing and neck patched up. Are the flashing lights a literal warning to Shayna that she better clear out before Becky finds her?
Raw returns and Becky heads to the ring!
Beat up, bloody and mad as hell, Becky grabs a mic as fans cheer her on. “Hey, Shayna. They numbed me up with something real nice for the pan.” And now she’s ready to smash Shayna’s face in! Where is she!? Shayna wants to sink her “little rat teeth” into Becky to get her attention, huh? Then mission accomplished. It doesn’t matter how tough Shayna is or who she hangs with, because Becky made them all pay. But she doesn’t even care about settling debts, she’s going to break Shayna week after week, little by little. So Shayna better find Becky before Becky finds her. The Man has put #ShaynaTwoTime on notice, when and where will these two meet again?

Winners: Seth Rollins, Buddy Murphy & The Authors of Pain, by pinfall
The Raw Tag Team Champions and their dangerous reinforcements steal one from Joe, KO and the Viking Raiders! Will they continue to steal the soul of Monday Night Raw?
My Thoughts:
A pretty good episode, with a main event that makes up for a portion of the sluggish portions. The way the opening segment was written made it feel like they forgot they announced the main event before Raw tonight. I get they wanted people to tune in tonight, but it would’ve given us a better sense of surprise if we didn’t know about the 8 Man. The match itself was really great, though, and it works for the Heels to steal a win like that. I can’t be sure what the plans for the tag titles are, other than a WrestleMania match, but I’d think a normal 2v2 title match at Elimination Chamber would be pretty good.
The Raw Women’s Championship story was incredible tonight! Probably the best part of the show. Becky VS Asuka III was a great finale to their feud, for now, and naturally Becky wins. Shayna showing up was a great surprise, as was her attack on Becky. But then WOW, I did not think they’d make Shayna some kind of savage monster “biting” Becky “making her bleed.” Obviously it was to give Becky toughness points, but also keeps with her issue with medical staff from before WrestleMania 35, seeing it as a way for the administration to sideline her. Shayna VS Becky is going to make for a great match at Mania. It seems to be the trade as Charlotte VS Rhea is definitely happening. Poor Sarah Logan got squashed to feed that story, though.
The WWE 24/7 Championship stuff was pretty great. Street Profits squash Moss, but Moss uses that to swerve Mojo! I hope we get more on that soon. And after Aleister wins against Akira Tozawa, can Aleister get that title to go all John Wick in defending it? How great would that be for the build to WrestleMania? Good to see Cedric Alexander on TV, even though he loses to Garza. I feel like it would’ve worked better if Carrillo rushed Garza after the win, but it was good to see Carrillo come back for revenge either way. Those two are going to need a grudge match that’s at least on a PPV kickoff show.
It seems the tradition of the WWE Saudi Arabia shows is coming up with one-time matches to make the events feel special. This Tuwaiq Gauntlet Match has some interesting choices for competitors. Truth, Lashley and Erick Rowan are great workers so I suppose it’s fine to have those three in. But I’m surprised that Rusev’s contract issues are being put aside for this, and that Almas’ suspension and Styles’ recovery from injury will be in time for Super Showdown. I have no idea who will win that match, but I don’t think it’ll matter in the long run. Ricochet VS Lashley was a really good match, and it is good for Ricochet to win to keep strong for his match with Lesnar. But in the end, we know Ricochet won’t win. McIntyre had a good segment in the VIP Lounge, he’s a great Face. Lesnar VS McIntyre needs to be the best singles match Lesnar has had in a long time.
My Score: 8.2/10

Marina Shafir storms out here!
She throws some poor rando around on stage, and then kicks her off stage, to then storm into the ring. Marina intimidates Arkady Aura into giving up her mic, then here come the Death Riders! Claudio Castagnoli SHOVES a cameraman down, then SMASHES the camera! Then he CHOKE SLAMS the cameraman through a table! Wheeler Yuta beats up more equipment, the fans boo these sore losers, because clearly this is all in response to losing the AEW World Trios Championships just last night. Boston tells off Yuta but he just uses that as motivation. Jon Moxley is in the ring, waiting for all of this to calm down a bit.
Marina gives Moxley the mic, and Moxley tells the fans and everyone celebrating last night better enjoy it now. “Hobbs, Swerve, Shibata, enjoy it now! Because it’s the last chance you’re gonna have to celebrate for a long time!” The fans boo, but Moxley tells The Young Bucks he officially doesn’t like them, he doesn’t like looking at them, so they better stay in their own lane. They cross the line with Moxley, he swears to God that they are never seen or heard from again, and he means that! Fans are torn there, but Moxley says from the first day he started in this sport, there was one undisputed baddest man in pro-wrestling. That man is Samoa Joe.
The fans cheer for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” and Moxley says he has always shown Joe respect, treated him with reverence. The fans sing, “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” Yuta tells them to shut up! Moxley says he has given Joe that reverence, he has given Joe his space, and it could’ve stayed that way. But Joe started something that Moxley has to finish. Because Moxley doesn’t know any other way, he will not run, he will not hide, he will not roll over and die. he knows no other way to do this but to fight Joe to the death for the AEW World Championship! Tomorrow, now, for better or worse! Mox will be clear: He is challenging Joe!
The fans again chant for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” Moxley says that’s all he’s gotta say. Joe’s known Moxley long enough to know exactly what he’s dealing with. Moxley then storms off, leading the Death Riders away. Will Samoa Joe accept that challenge, and perhaps even go Double or Nothing?
Kevin Knight VS Lance Archer w/ Don Callis!
The Jet is feeling real good having his share of $400,000, and he’s preparing for next month’s NJPW Best of the Super Juniors tournament. But will Knight still be too fly? Or will he be sent crashing down by the Murderhawk Monster?

Archer ROCKS Knight, then SWINGS him into the steel steps! Archer is all fired up, Callis is happy, but the fans boo while Collision goes picture in picture.
Archer drags Knight up, brings him around, and whips him hard into railing! Knight sputters, the fans cheer him on, but Archer brings Knight up. Archer ROCKS Knight, sits him in a chair, and then runs up to BOOT him down! Knight slumps against the barriers while Archer refreshes the count. But this just lets Callis get his shots in! Callis hammers Knight, but stops before he gets caught. Callis talks smack on the fans, especially that one guy in the third row. Archer stands Knight up against barriers, calls out a small child in their father’s arms, and then CHOPS Knight! Archer drags Knight along the way, taunts more fans, but Knight fires body shots!
Knight CHOPS Archer, but Archer isn’t even bothered! Archer whips Knight back into the ring, then storms in after him.

Archer climbs up, taunts the fans, and he smothers Knight! Archer rains down fists, but he stops short of ten to rob the fans the satisfaction! Spring Breakthru returns to single picture and Archer runs corner to corner. ELBOW! Archer keeps moving, and he ELBOWS Knight again! Archer wants more, so he runs again, to ELBOW Knight again!

Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall
The Jet flies high and takes the win! Will this literally big win help Knight take over the BOSJ?
The Opps speak.
After Dynamite went off the air, the NEW AEW World Trios Champions regrouped backstage. Samoa Joe said, “Do you understand the unusual thing about predators? Predators tend to think they are the largest and most evil thing in the jungle. They think that nothing pursues them because they are the pursuers. Tonight, the Death Riders learned that wasn’t the case. See, we are The Opps. We are not a movement, we are not an understanding between gentlemen, no. We are men who only need an opportunity and excuse to commit violence. We are men like Shibata. We are men like myself. And now, Death Riders, you learned we are men like Willy Hobbs.
“We are The Opps. We are your AEW Trios Champions. And we are coming for so much more.” The Death Riders were the hunters but are now the hunted, will their reign of terror end thanks to The Opps?
BREAKING NEWS for next week’s Collision!
While Collision will return to Saturday nights, it will also have to wait until after coverage of the NBA Playoffs. The silver lining? It’ll be live from coast to coast! Make sure you schedule accordingly so you don’t miss a minute of the action!
Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter & Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with these two ahead of their Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament match, set for next week on Dynamite. It is a semifinal match, and yet this is also the first time Kris and Jamie face off 1v1. The winner goes on to Double or Nothing to face Mercedes Mone in the tournament finals, but Kris stops Renee there. Enough about Mone. And enough about Toni Storm, honestly. There are plenty of other women in this locker room who work just as hard, if not harder, than those two. Jamie says she won’t disagree there. Jamie works hard, Kris works hard, and Jamie won’t stand here to give endless pats on the back.
But Jamie also knows Kris is good, being a former TBS Champion. And Kris knows Jamie is good, being a former AEW Women’s World Champion. They both know they can go, and this right here has been a long time coming. Whoever wins this, they better go all the way. See you Wednesday, mate. That match is for Dynamite, but will Kris get a leg up on Mone in the tag match later tonight?
Tony Schiavone reads a letter from FTR.
Given the suspension as announced last night, Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler are not allowed in the building, so they sent this message instead.
“Dear Tony & Nigel, I (Dax) wish I could take back everything we did to you guys last week. It was completely unacceptable, unnecessary, and unwarranted. I honestly think the punishment for us wasn’t severe enough.” Schiavone explains it is a suspension for a week, without pay. Dax’s letter continues to say, “Tony, I would never have gone through with the piledriver with you. You said some things about my daughter that I won’t hold against you. But in the heat of the moment, I felt I was justified to scare you a little. I love you, Tony.” Schiavone rolls his eyes, the fans boo because they don’t believe Dax’s words.
Schiavone explains this next part is addressed to Nigel. “I never wanted things to get physical between the three of us, I know your body, and your mind for that matter, is very fragile.” Nigel rolls his eyes at the passive aggressiveness there. “I’m sure you were thinking the same thing with emotions as we were. Even though you probably knew there was no way you could ever beat us up, LOL. Again, my sincerest apologies to you both, and I hope we can just move forward in a professional and productive manner. With love, Dax Harwood.” The fans still boo the ingenuine sentiments, and Nigel sarcastically accepts the apology. Will FTR ever actually learn their lesson?
Josh Alexander & Konosuke Takeshita VS Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii!
The Walking Weapon couldn’t defeat the Cowboy, so he goes and sucker punches him after the match, then seemingly joins forces with The Don Callis Family! Will Alexander get his first win alongside The Alpha? Or can Azucar & Stone Pitbull conglomerate their way to a victory?

Backstage interview with Kendal Grey.
Chuey Martinez sits down with Grappler Grey, and asks how one growing up in Las Vegas found pro-wrestling. Kendal says her older brother was doing jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, other martial arts, and she joined in and fell in love. Then in high school, there was no girl’s wrestling team, only boy’s. Her dad said she should try out for the boy’s team, and she thought he was joking. He was serious, so she gave it a try. She made the team, was on Varsity, became one of the first females to win in the state of Nevada to win a tournament. She loved contact sports, it just felt right. And we know she even made Team USA for the Olympics.
Chuey brings up tonight’s intense Fatal 4 Way main event. What would it mean to be the Face of Evolve? Kendal says she knows she’s gonna be the Face of Evolve. Before coming to the WWE, she was already a champion. She is a three-time undefeated NCAA champion. That will also be her plan here in Evolve: be undefeated. She’s on a winning streak and she looks to keep it going. This Fatal 4 is just a stepping stone. Chuey believes that. He thanks Kendal for the talk, and says it’ll be a good one.
Ice Williams is in the VIP Lounge.
You could say he’s chilling while he watches tonight’s opening match.
Trill London VS Harlem Lewis!
The man who’s “too weird to be normal and too cool to care” didn’t have the best first match in Evolve, getting clobbered by Keanu Carver. But will he make up for that on the Evolve before WrestleMania? Or will he have another rough night as he runs into Harlem?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Harlem powers Trill right to a corner, and he smothers Trill while the ref counts. Harlem lets off, to then body blow! Harlem whips corner to corner but Trill reverses to break free and DROPKICK! The fans fire up, Trill whips, but Harlem reverses. Trill goes up, but Harlem catches him to a GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans boo but Harlem pushes Trill around. Harlem drags Trill up but Trill fires body shots! Harlem CLUBS Trill, whips him corner to corner hard, and then gets in Trill’s face to talk trash. The fans boo while Harlem has Trill on the apron. Trill ROCKS Harlem!
Trill aims, and he SLINGSHOT SHOTGUNS! Even Ice is shocked to see that! The fans fire up as Trill goes to the apron. Trill climbs a corner, Harlem rises, and Trill flies, but into a SUPERMAN PUNCH! Harlem hits his antiair, then he drags Trill up! Suplex and BOOMSLANG!! Cover, Harlem wins!
Winner: Harlem Lewis, by pinfall
Trill tried, but he couldn’t get past this behemoth any better than he could Keanu. Harlem is keeping pace with Keanu, and Chuey is here to interview Harlem. Harlem’s on a win streak, just like Keanu. Harlem says the craziest thing about all this, is that he’s getting paid to do this! As for Keanu, Harlem wants his faceoff! Tell Stevie Turner to make it happen! Wait, Gallus storms out here? Joseph, Markus & Wolfie are ready for a fight, but refs and other Evolve superstars keep Harlem from going after them. The fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” but Gallus will just have to settle for their opponents here tonight.
Six Man Tag: Jordan Oasis, Jack Cartwheel & Cappuccino Jones VS Gallus!
The Nomad felt the Iron King’s iron fist and it knocked him out for the night. But the men who helped Oasis to the back are here to help him take on the whole firm! Will Oasis, Cartwheel & Cappuccino get some payback tonight? Or will it still be Gallus Boys On Top?
The trios sort out and Joe starts against Jack. They circle, feel things out, and the fans rally behind “Cartwheel! Cartwheel!” The two tie up, Joe whips Jack, but Jack cartwheels! The fans cheer, Joe runs up, and he RAMS Jack to a corner! Joe TOSSES Jack, but Jack cartwheels! The fans cheer again, Jack runs up, but Joe blocks his shot to ROCK Jack!

The fans fire up as Cappuccino & Cartwheel then DOUBLE DROPKICK Mark & Wolfgang out of the ring! Then they build speed, Cappuccino FLIES onto Mark while Cartwheel FOSBURY FLOPS onto Wolfgang! The fans fire up more and Oasis tells Joe, “That’s right! You wanted to knock me out? You wanted a fight? This is what you’re gonna get! A fight!” Oasis rains down fists, and Evolve goes to break.
Evolve returns and Jack brings Joe up. Jack ROCKS Joe, CHOPS Joe, and then shoves Joe. Joe shoves back and pops Jack up for an UPPERCUT! Hot tag to Mark and he runs up to LARIAT Jack! And CLOBBER him! Oasis is in but Mark CHOPS him down! Jones runs in but Mark suplexes him away! The fans fire up and Mark back suplexes Jack!

Winners: Gallus, by pinfall
Oasis wanted his payback, but it was just another heavy shot from the Iron King! Will nothing stop Gallus from making Evolve their kingdom?
Backstage interview with Chantel Monroe.
Chuey now sits down with the Debutante, and says it is not every day he sits down with world class athletes. How does one go from gymnastics at Auburn to WWE Evolve? She was scouted at the nationals, and at first she didn’t think this was for her. She’s admittedly prissy and girly, but she does like to perform, does like to dress up, loves to connect with the audience. It was the theatrics of pro-wrestling that intrigued her. It wasn’t that different from gymnastics, so she thought this could be a calling. Chuey says Chantel is surely prepared for all of this from gymnastics and Chantel agrees.
Gymnastics is not only physical but 90% mental. That prepared her for so much in this life, and especially this moment. Then what does it mean to hear that she could be the Face of Evolve? That means everything to her. She knows she has the spark, she knows she’s “that girl,” and that she can be the Face of Evolve. Chuey brings up the Fatal 4 Way, how is she preparing? Just training every day, going for it, no doubting. She is That Girl in every way. Chuey says there you have it! Will Chantel’s confidence be unstoppable tonight?
Backstage interview with Kali Armstrong.
Chuey now sits down with the Pride of Inglewood, and asks that when he says that, what does it mean to represent Inglewood, California? Kali says Inglewood is a city of champions. The fact she is born and raised there, you know she’s winning at something. Chuey says she is indeed a superstar, 100%. She says she appreciates that. If he were to tell her years ago that she’d be here, what would her response be? She says if this was even five years ago, she’d believe you. Thinks sound crazy, but the type of person she is, if it doesn’t sound crazy, it ain’t big enough. Once she locks in, once she puts her mind to it, it’s a wrap.
Then how does one prepare for a Fatal 4? With this match, everyone is physically able to do it. What decides the match is who is mentally toughest, because they’re going to war. This is all mental, and we’ll see who can sustain at the end of this. And she promises, it’ll be Kali Armstrong. Will there be a Kali Connection to cap off Evolve?
Luca Crusifino steps into the VIP Lounge.
Ice is still chilling with drinks, but he’ll have to make room on the one couch now that The Consigliere is here. Is Luca checking in on the emotional investment he’s put into this next match?
Oro Mensah VS Javier Bernal!
It’s a tale of two records. Where one is on the rise, the other is struggling to even stay afloat. Will Oro become the Main Man of Evolve? Or can Big Body Javi finally get on the board?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two tie up. Oro waistlocks and wrangles Javi to the mat. Javi fights up, switches, but Oro pries at the hold. Oro wrenches free, wristlocks, but Javi rolls, steps over, and wrenches to wristlock back. The fans rally and duel as Oro fights up. Javi twists the wrist, Oro rolls, then UP KICKS! Oro CHOPS, the fans “WOO~” and then Javi CHOPS! Oro CHOPS again, dodges Javi’s boot, then runs up. Javi dodges, goes up and FLYING ARM-DRAGS! The fans cheer as Javi tilt-o-whirl RANAS, then DROPKICKS! Javi fires up and the fans are behind him! Javi runs up to whip, but Oro blocks!
Oro breaks free, SOBATS, and then clinches for an EXPLODER! Javi flounders and writhes while the fans fire up again. Oro stomps Javi around, drags Javi up and CHOPS! The fans duel, “ORO!” “JAVI!” as Oro snapmares and KICKS Javi in the back! Cover, TWO! Oro is annoyed but he stalks Javi. Javi fires body shot after body shot, then a haymaker! Oro STEP PUNCHES and Javi goes down! Oro eggs Javi on, “Who are you?” Javi gets up to fire fast hands from all sides! Javi underhooks to BUTTERFLY- NO, Oro slips free to LARIAT! Oro then reels Javi in, but Javi BACKDROPS free! Both men are down and the fans fire up!
Javi goes to the apron, the fans rally behind him, and he ROCKS Oro! Javi has Oro in the ropes to SUPERKICK! Oro staggers, Javi climbs, and Javi CROSSBODIES! Javi fires up more and he rallies with LARIAT after LARIAT! Then a KNEE SMASH! But Oro kicks a leg out! Javi dodges the step punch to SUPERKICK again! Oro wobbles and Javi roars! RUNNING DDT! Cover, TWO!! Oro survives that onslaught and both Luca and Ice are impressed. “This is Awesome!” as Oro and Javi rise. Javi waistlocks to full nelson, but Oro runs to the corner! Javi hits buckles, but he comes back, only for Oro to BOOT him!
Oro reels Javi in for a TORNADO HOTSHOT! Then a springboard, RIDER KICK! Both men are down again and Javi flounders away. The fans rally while Javi goes back to the apron. Oro runs up, but Javi ROCKS him first! Oro staggers, Javi climbs again, but Oro TIGER WALL KICKS! Javi falls off the corner, Oro hooks him up, ripcord and CALL OF AUTUMN! Cover, Oro wins!
Winner: Oro Mensah, by pinfall
Another big win for the Main Man, and another big loss for Big Body Javi. Will Oro move up and become the Face of Evolve? What must Javi do to have his breakthrough?
Backstage interview with Brinley Reece.
Chuey sits down with the fourth and final part of tonight’s main event in #Binergy. If he told Brin six or seven years ago that she’d be a pro-wrestler, what would her reaction be? Brin is pretty sure she would not believe him. She wakes up every morning, open to whatever possibilities and opportunities present themselves, and well, here she is. Let’s talk about the Fatal 4 Way. Imagine being the Face of Evolve. Brin says every woman here wants that same thing. She will go in there and prove that she’s the Face of Evolve. The Brin Active Mindset is also a confident one, and Chuey is sure the main event is gonna be bananas!
Stevie Turner speaks.
The Evolve General Manager introduces herself, and then says as a result of what happened last week, she has scheduled quite the line up for next week. We will have Timothy Thatcher VS Bryce Donovan, and Jackson Drake VS Sean Legacy! Plus, “The Sunshine,” Carlee Bright returns to action in her first Evolve singles match. It’ll be a big night, but who proves themselves to be the more evolved?
Carlee Bright is in the VIP Lounge!
The gentlemen excuse themselves so that the cheery cheerleader turned wrestler can have the lounge all to herself. Will her moral support help her friend, Kendal Grey, win big tonight?
Fatal 4 Way: Kali Armstrong VS Kendal Grey VS Brinley Reece VS Chantel Monroe!
We heard from all four women tonight, and naturally, they’re all confident and determined to win. But only one can be the Alpha Female, who wins to prove themselves worthy of the title, “Face of Evolve?”
The big fight introductions are given, and the bell rings. The fans rally as the four watch each other. Kali dares someone to make a move, then she shoves Kendal. Kendal shoves back, then mule kicks! Brin adds a forearm, then Chantel adds a forearm! Brin adds another, then Kendal UPPERCUTS! Brin HEADBUTTS Kali, then she and Kendal dodge so Chantel can SUPERKICK Kali! Brin & Kendal TOSS Kali and the fans fire up! Brin says kiss this, Kendal mocks “Too Strong Armstrong” by flexing. Now they and Chantel feel things out. They triple knuckle lock, but then Chantel kicks Kendal! Chantel kicks Brin and headlocks.
Brin powers out but Chantel runs Kendal over! Chantel flexes but Brin rolls her up! Kendal sunset flips Brin, but Chantel ghost pins Kendal! TWO and Kendal has the cradle! But then Brin jackknife bridges Kendal! Kali breaks that and the fans fire up! Kali fires off on Brin in the corner, then storms over to Chantel. The fans chant, “This is Wrestling!” as Kali ROCKS Chantel, then ROCKS Kendal! Kali ROCKS Chantel again, then ROCKS Kendal again! kali sends Kendal into Brin, and RAMS them both in the corner! Kali then ROCKS Chantel and whips her into the others! Kali fires up, runs up, and TRIPLE RAMS!
The fans fire up with Kali while all three opponents flounder on the mat. Kali storms up on Kendal, Chantel finds Brin, but Brin and Kendal each get a cradle! TWO! Brin goes back for Chantel but Chantel gives her a JAWBREAKER! Kendal has Kali and whips, but Kali reverses! Kali then blows past Kendal, only for Chantel to HIP TOSS Kendal! Cover, Kali breaks it! Kali says not on her watch, and she TOSSES Chantel! Brin TOSSES Kendal! Brin and Kali circle now, then tie up. Brin waistlocks, wrenches, whips, but Kali reverses. Kali runs up, ROCKS Brin, then hoists her up top! Kali tucks Brin in, but Brin hits a TORNADO SNAP SUPLEX!
The fans fire up, Brin hurries to cover, TWO! Brin clamps onto Kali with a chinlock, and adds body scissors! It’s turning into a REAR NAKED CHOKE! Kali endures, but Chantel wraps a HEADSCISSOR SQUEEZE on Brin! The fans fire up as Kali pries at the legs! Brin endures Chantel’s squeeze, but Kendal puts a HEADSCISSOR SQUEEZE on Chantel! The fans fire up for this chain of submissions, but Kali pries free! The fans cheer on “EVOLVE! EVOLVE!” as Kali stomps Kendal! Kendal lets Chantel free but Chantel still holds onto Brin. Kali grabs Brin’s legs, and she turns Brin and Chantel over, BOSTON CRAB!
Brin’s enduring double submissions now, but then Kendal jumps onto Kali’s back for a SLEEPER! The fans fire up as Kali flails! Kali RAMS Kendal into a corner, but Kendal holds on! Kali RAMS Kendal into buckles again and gets free! Brin pushes back on Chantel for a cover, TWO! Brin is free, and she stops Chantel going for her leg to hook the arms! But Chantel fights the backslide, so the two end up sitting down. Kali storms up to push them both over, double cover! TWO! Kali DOUBLE LARIATS! The fans fire up as Kali is back on Kendal!

Winner: Kali Armstrong, by pinfall
Kendal is stunned, but Kali did say herself that the mental game was the key. Kali knew when to strike and that’s why she won the biggest main event in Evolve history so far. Stevie Turner is on stage to applaud, is Kali going to be primed for a title opportunity?
My Thoughts:
A great episode of Evolve, especially with that main event. Very good promos from each of the four participants, though I was expecting a little more from Brinley Reece. Brin’s been in WWE the longest with a solid start on NXT, and clearly there’s a good story going with her identity crisis of “Is she Face? Is she Heel?” And as Fatal 4 Ways go, that was great stuff, something already on the level of NXT or maybe even main roster. Kali winning out makes sense, though, she has been leading the way as perhaps the most complete in-ring and on-mic talent of Evolve. Whatever title match is made, you can bet Kali is part of it.
Very good stuff on the men’s side of things, too, though poor Trill London keeps facing big meaty men and getting beat. Harlem Lewis and Keanu Carver are quite truly top contenders to the men’s title, but I really appreciate a lot of the different intertwining stories. The Gallus boys wanted after Harlem, and then they got a great match out of Oasis, Cartwheel & Cappuccino. Gallus hasn’t had much to go on in a long time, here’s hoping they’re considered for like, Evolve Tag Team Champions or something. Joe Coffey can also get in on the Evolve Championship story, but I don’t know he wins it. Joe has found himself in a really odd place where he’s a great talent, but just can’t get titles.
Oro VS Javi was really good, too, and a great win for Oro. I do appreciate Luca is keeping an eye on Javi, and I could see a partnership being formed, with Luca helping Javi bring out the best in himself. They might even join the tag division, but I suppose a lot of it could depend on the D’Angelo Family story on NXT. Stacks starting to be rebellious could change the dynamic of the group, but that remains to be seen at Stand & Deliver when the D’Angelos have their Six Man Tag against Dark State.
My Score: 8.8/10
