Maybe Taguchi shouldn’t have given away his plan. Taguchi was so close to blowing up Hiromu’s chances, but now it all blows up in his face. Hiromu gets the mic before Taguchi leaves and says, “Taguchi-san, I was wrong about you. You aren’t just an ordinary pervert. You’re a fantastic pervert.” Thta’s a compliment? Hiromu does say he has learned a lot from Taguchi in this match. Or not. But please, go. Please go. Please, be on your way. Yes, thank you. So he’s just a normal pervert after all.
Hiromu says now that it’s just him, he’ll let us in on something: yesterday was his birthday! He knows the fans can’t sing a birthday song for him, so he’ll sing it himself. “Happy Birthday to me~! Happy birthday to me~! Happy birthday dear Hiromu-chawawawawawan~ awoo~! Happy birthday to meeeeeee~!” Thanks, everyone! The Super Juniors are almost over, and Hiromu just needs to win two more times! So let’s have more, more, more, more, more, MORE, MORE, MORE FUN TOGETHER! Will Hiromu get himself the best birthday present of all in the BOSJ 27 trophy?
Here are the current Best of the Super Juniors 27 standings!
El Desperado: 6-2
SHO: 6-2
Hiromu Takahashi: 6-2
Taiji Ishimori: 6-2
BUSHI: 4-4 [ELIMINATED]
Master Wato: 4-4 [ELIMINATED]
Ryusuke Taguchi: 3-5 [ELIMINATED]
Robbie Eagles: 3-5 [ELIMINATED]
DOUKI: 2-6 [ELIMINATED]
Yuya Uemura: 0-8 [ELIMINATED]
My Thoughts:
A great round eight and there are FOUR at 6-2! Naturally the champion, Ishimori, is still in the running, but with Hiromu and Desperado also in the running, he’d basically have to be the only one to win to be a finalist. And as I said last round, I feel like WrestleKingdom 15’s IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship match(es) have to come down to combinations of Ishimori, Hiromu and Desperado. Ishimori faces Sho, and I feel he will win that to put pressure on the other two. Hiromu faces Wato, who just lost to Ishimori and could try to be a spoiler. El Desperado faces Bushi, and to help Hiromu, Bushi will definitely give it his all so that Hiromu has a chance.
Uemura looked strong even in defeat again, but he might be Eagles’ last win of the BOSJ. It was also fun to have the Six Man Tag to act as the closest thing to a “go-home” for Naito and Ibushi. They of course weren’t involved in the finish, keeping the math for their WK15 match even. It mostly gave more momentum to Takagi and Sanada as they go for the World Tag League win. And Taguchi VS Hiromu was great stuff for a great main event. I feel I was proven right from last round that Taguchi is a master of doing both the comedic and the serious. He literally did both in that match with Hiromu! Taguchi’s last match is with Douki, so he should end his BOSJ 27 with a win.
My Score: 9.1/10

Open Challenge: Randy Orton VS ???
The Viper wanted to settle scores with The Prizefighter, but Kevin Owens needed major neck surgery, and now we don’t even know if Kevin will ever return to the ring. In the meantime, Orton still wants a match for his 20th, so he put it out there that anyone can step to him. Orton grabs a mic and he tells the fans, “Tonight marks my 20th WrestleMania! Ladies and gents, I said that I would be here at WrestleMania 41 ready to go. The only question now is, who is gonna come through that curtain? I’ll tell you one thing, whoever it is, they’re gonna get their WrestleMania Moment, and it’s gonna be courtesy of the three most dangerous letters in all of sports entertainment: R K O!”
Orton throws down the mic, paces inside the ring, and who answers the call? “Say his name and he appears… I believe in Joe Hendry!” That’s right! The TNA World Heavyweight Champion is making his WrestleMania debut, and everyone sings along with his song like they did with Voices!

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.

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.

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!

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
