PLAY BY PLAY
Big E heads to the ring!
Indianapolis fires up for the WWE World Champion. He gets the mic to say that since becoming WWE Champion, which fans love to hear, “Y’all’re too much.” But it appears that a lot of people have their eyes on him. But with Thanksgiving around the corner, Big E has plenty to give, with leftovers. So let’s not waste any time and get to the matter at hand. He’s talking about Roman Reigns. “You see, Roman. It was just supposed to be Brand VS Brand. It was just supposed to be Champion VS Champion. But you… You and your little cousins, you took it to a place that we can never come back from.” The Bloodline put their hands on Big E’s family! So now Big E’s gotta beat Roman’s ass like he stole something!
Now, Big E is going to make sure there are empty bends in the Brooklyn hospitals for Roman. Now he’s gotta take a piece of Roman that he will never get back. But that is Sunday and Survivor Series. This is Monday Night Raw! So he will speak to a fellow member of the roster, Kevin Owens. “So, Kevin, bring your lying, treacherous carcass out here so we can handle our business.” And Kevin obliges! Kevin has a mic, and he stays on the stage to say, “Look, there’s nothing I’d love more than to get in that ring and beat the hell out of you again, and I will do that in a minute.” But Kevin has to get something off his chest first.
Last week, Big E cost Kevin against Seth Rollins by getting in the way, which gave Kevin his third straight loss. And he isn’t even talking about how Big E has for weeks called Kevin a liar and questioned his sincerity, getting the fans and the other wrestlers to do the same. Kevin snapped, and how could he not? Kevin was never lying, but it doesn’t matter since Big E said it. Everyone loves Big E and they believed him so that makes it true. Kevin is being judged, but everyone judging Kevin can go to hell, including Big E. The saying, “Perception is reality,” is true. Kevin is seen as a liar and a horrible person, so why fight it?
Guess what? Kevin will be the bad guy, but not just some normal bad guy. He’ll be worse! Kevin will Breaking Bad on everyone in the locker room and arena around the world, and especially on Big E! So just know this! Big E will deserve it! Everything that happens from here on out is Big E’s fault! Big E says they’ve talked enough! Kevin needs to get in the ring. Kevin leaves!

The Usos run Fridays, and even Mondays! It don’t matter no more, Big E! But here comes Matt Riddle! The Stallion fires off on the Usos! Big E gets up and helps him fight the Usos off! Sonya Deville hurries out to say this might be unorthodox, but she’s calling it on the fly! We’re having a tag team match, RIGHT NOW! But then Seth Rollins appears?! The Visionary wants to watch this one in person! But will he have a hand in the outcome as the Bro and the Powerhouse of Positivity step into the Uso Penitentiary?

Backstage interview with Bianca Belair.
The EST says Doudrop made it clear that she thinks she should be on the Raw Survivor Series team and not Bianca. But Doudrop doesn’t make the rules around here, so if she wants to mix it up with Bianca, she did what she did, said what she said, Bianca feels what she feels and it is what it is. Bianca isn’t taking anything away from Doudrop’s abilities. But Doudrop keeps sticking her nose in Bianca’s business. But Tamina steps up and says tonight, Bianca is HER business. Oh, well, Tamina will do. Bianca heads to the ring. Will there be a message sent to everyone not on Team Raw right here tonight?
Backstage interview with Kevin Owens.
Not withstanding the truth or the lying- Wait, is Sarah saying he’s lying? Well he said he’d meet Big E in the ring, but then he didn’t. Yeah, he was lying then. He’s being the bad guy, so he is telling the truth that he’d lie. But then Finn Balor walks over. The Prince tells KO that sorry he wasn’t there to vouch for Kevin. Because he would’ve said right to his face that he doesn’t trust him one bit. Now, Finn knows Kevin’s on his way out, but uh, it was supposed to be Finn VS Rollins tonight, but turns out it’s going to be Finn VS Kevin. Oh, tonight? Yeah. Well that’s really too bad for Finn. And that’s no lie. Will the Prizefighter be genuine when he brings the fight to Finn tonight?

Becky Lynch is here!
The Man has come ’round to Indianapolis, holding the Raw Women’s Championship up high! She’ll be facing her familiar frenemy, The Queen, this Sunday, and looks to comment on all of that, after the break.
Raw returns and Becky has the mic to say, “Indianapolis, welcome to the Big Time!” But in case you missed it, here’s a bit of what Charlotte Flair had to say about Becky from Friday. Charlotte said Becky’s gone from Lass Kicker, to The Man, to Becky Two Belts to Big Time Becks, and said there’s nothing natural about her! Like Charlotte don’t know who Becky is. So here’s a reminder. Becky used to be the person who was Charlotte’s best friend. The person who was on the road with Charlotte everywhere she went. The person who was there, so happy for her at every opportunity and title reign she got. But also there as the shoulder to cry on when things didn’t go Charlotte’s way.
Becky also realized a friendship with Charlotte Flair comes with conditions. Those conditions are that Charlotte is the star and Becky is in the background. So Becky said to hell with that and slapped Charlotte so hard, it sent Becky into a different stratosphere! Becky’s the person who had to do so much more than just be a one-note ripoff of someone else! Becky had to tear herself apart and recreate herself time and time again to be the biggest star in the industry! She’s the person whose success has made Charlotte the most miserable person Becky’s ever met. So much so, Charlotte doesn’t even like herself anymore!
But most importantly, Becky’s the one Charlotte goes face to face with, and face the insecurities and inner demons. This isn’t about brand supremacy! This is about personal legacy! If Charlotte still doesn’t remember who Becky is, then this Sunday, Becky will be the person who beats “the ever-loving PISS” out of her! Uh-ohhh~! But wait! Here comes Liv Morgan! The NEW #1 contender, all in Raw red, has her own mic. “Oof. I’m sorry. I’m sorry for coming out here and interrupting this weird little love-hate obsession thing you and Charlotte seem to always have.” But last week, Becky just walked away from Liv. Just walked away, and Liv can’t let her do that again.
Especially not after Liv finally won an opportunity that she’s been waiting for: A chance to take the title off of the person that at one point, Liv admired most. Becky cuts Liv off there. No no no, look! Last week, Becky left to give Liv the moment to celebrate her victory. Lord knows she doesn’t get many of those. At one point, Becky was Liv’s biggest fan. Does Liv remember what Becky told her before she left? Of course Liv does! She told everyone about it! Becky expected the interruption, she’s done this herself once or twice. So Becky went through the trouble of preparing a video. Let’s take a look.
Four months ago, on a Talking Smack, Liv told Kayla that she gave Becky a hug good-bye. Becky said to Liv, that when Becky comes back, Liv will be champion. Liv thought about that every single day. Becky is back, Liv isn’t champion. But Liv is so looking forward to proving Becky right. Liv will be champion, and she’d love to take it from Becky. Back to present and Becky says that was her bad. She is sorry for getting Liv’s hopes up. She had no idea Liv would under perform so badly. No no no! Don’t boo that! It isn’t Becky’s fault, she wasn’t here! The Man didn’t hold Liv down, she wasn’t around! The truth is, some people have it. And some people don’t.
Just look at Becky. She left for year and a half, won the title in 26 seconds and has been killing it ever since. And what has Liv done? Nothing. And no no, Liv, you’re missing the point. Becky told Liv to get the title, because now that Becky’s back, Liv ain’t ever getting her hands on it. Well, on behalf of the entire WWE Universe, we can all agree that “Big Time Becks” is just a big time BITCH! Becky throws the title down, gets Liv, but Liv arm-drags out of the slam! Becky bails out, Liv shrugs. Becky says that was lucky! Liv says she won’t wait much longer. in fact, she picks the title up right now! Liv sets it down for Becky, but will she take it from her as soon as next Monday?
RKBRO talks backstage.
Riddle says his mind was moving a mile a minute, but Orton asks how many times they have to have this conversation about Riddle playing hero. Rhetorical, Riddle! Here’s a real question. The last two weeks, Riddle helps the Street Profits, his buddies. What did that get him? What happened? Omos flattened him! And it was Riddle’s own fault for interjecting himself. Tonight with Big E, his mess and Riddle gets in it! Big E is world champion, he doesn’t need Riddle’s help. Riddle needs to concern himself with only their titles and RKBRO! Yeah, Riddle just wish he could osmosis some of that sweet knowledge from Orton.
Riddle just thought that it’d help to help Big E. Enemy’s friend is your friend’s enemy and your enemy- No, no, Riddle. That’s not the saying because it makes no sense! Orton doesn’t understand Riddle because no one can! One last time: The only thing that matters to Orton is this team and these titles! So Orton does care about Riddle? Orton screams and shouts as he storms off, but then the Profits come in. Sup, fam? Heard that conversation with Orton. He still doesn’t like them? Well Orton has a funny way of showing if he likes you. But to be fair, Riddle needs to be more like Orton.
Dawkins isn’t so sure. The only time to act and think like your partner is when the bell rings. Speaking of, that’s where these two are headed. It is Monday, class is in session. They have business with the Academy. The Profits are UP, and #WeWantTheSmoke! Riddle finishes the catchphrase for them, but they’re cool with it. The Profits head out, but will they still be in a good mood after tangling with Chad Gable & Otis?

Big E meets with Adam Pearce.
Pearce knowns Big E is taking on Roman at Sunday, Pearce wants Big E focused on that. Big E says there’s no reason to worry about him. He has Roman at Survivor Series, Rollins coming for the title, and Kevin Owens just being Kevin Owens. To that point, there’s a lot of chaos, Big E needs to be above it.

Rollins won’t be part of Team Raw, he will LEAD Raw to glorious victory! Leading is what Rollins was born to do. Just like tonight when Rollins led the Usos to victory out there. But after Survivor Series, Rollins will turn his attention to Big E. Simply put, Rollins will take the WWE Championship from Big E, and he will lead Raw, HIS show, THE SHOW, to the mountaintop.
Because Rollins is the Visionary. He is the revolutionary. He is Seth Freakin’ Rollins! Rollins laughs his way out, DO NOT WAKE THE BABY. Will Rollins make all these things come true here on Monday nights?

Backstage interview with AJ Styles & Omos.
Sarah brings up the friction between them and the Dirty Dawgs. How are they planning to address it? Dressing the Dirty Dawgs is a good name. But uh, yeah, those guys aren’t even in the same food chain. There are some facts that are undeniable. Starting with, the world would be a better place if the Usos could just get rid of the New Day once and for all, and not be on STYLES’ show! Sorry, their show. And then the Profits, always wanting the smoke. Styles doesn’t get what that means, but there’s this thing called Duralog. You get that, light it, boom, smoke for everybody. But here’s the thing, you don’t cross Styles or Omos.
There was this movie called the Avengers. The villian was Loki. Loki had an army, Styles has an Omos. Which then makes Styles IRONMAN! That’s awesome! Two guys watching cool movies! But back to the Dawgs. The Dawgs stole that win last week, but tonight- Omos cuts Styles off to say that HE will make them suffer! YES! Styles loves that! Omos watched Godzilla, right? Great monster movie! Styles and Omos head out, will Styles’ personal kaiju destroy Ziggler & Roode? But speaking of…
The Dirty Dawgs respond!
“You want to talk movies, jack?” Ziggler & Roode were browsing The Peacock streaming service, and they found a true classic that reminds them of Styles & Omos. Omos being Schwarzenegger, Styles being Devito. The movie was TWINS. But will Omos take that Schwarzenegger metaphor and go all Terminator on the Show-Off and “Big Bob?”
AJ Styles & Omos VS The Dirty Dawgs!
Raw returns and the Dawgs make their entrance. The teams sort out and Styles starts against Roode, but then he tags out to Omos! Roode is worried already, but Ziggler coaches him up. Roode circles with Omos and Styles wants Omos to destroy him! They tie up, and Omos doesn’t budge! But then he throws Roode into the corner, then CLOBBERS him! Omos watches Roode go to a corner, then run sin to BACK BODY BLOCK! Roode falls from being squashed, and Omos looms over him. Omos drags Roode up, puts him back in the corner, then powers up to CHOP Roode right off his feet! Omos smirks at Ziggler as he stalks Roode.
Omos scoops Roode, SNAKE EYES off the Dawgs’ corner. Omos dares Ziggler to get some! Ziggler tags in, gets in, and eggs Omos on. Omos steps forward, Ziggler gets around and gets the sleeper! But Omos throws Ziggler down! Omos runs in to run Ziggler over! Omos fireman’s carries Ziggler, gets him up in the trophy lift, and MOUNTAIN TOSSES Ziggler to the mat! Styles reaches out a hand and Omos tags him in. Styles aims, springboards, PHENOMENAL FOREARM! Cover, Styles & Omos win!
Winners: AJ Styles & Omos, by pinfall
That was definitely like an old school Godzilla movie! Omos and Styles, but most Omos, demolish the Dawgs, who will be next on their path back to the tag titles?
Backstage interview with Bobby Lashley
He faces a Survivor Series teammate after removing Dominik from the team. “Removing?” Dom shouldn’t have been on the team to begin with! No one is more destructive, invincible or dominant than the All Mighty! Did you see the look on Rey’s face when he heard he had to face Lashley tonight? The same face Dom had when he was tapping out to the Hurt Lock. Rey doesn’t want any part of Lashley, and neither does all of Team Smackdown! Rey can lick his wounds, go to Survivor Series, stay on the apron and cheer on Lashley as he walks through Team SmackDown! If anyone has a problem with that, they can come see Lashley. He’s not hard to find. Will Rey even survive tonight to make it to Survivor Series?
Bobby Lashley VS Rey Mysterio w/ Dominik Mysterio!
Raw returns as Lashley makes his entrance. Lashley gets his pyro, but will he get his comeuppance from the King of Lucha Libre? We find out, after the break.
Raw returns once again, and the bell finally rings. Rey and Lashley circle, Rey gets around and CLUBS Lashley! Rey dodges again, fires off forearms and KICKS, then runs to slide under. Lashley catches Rey to scoop him, but Rey clubs free to get to the apron. Rey shoulders in, forearms away, then climbs up again to SEATED SENTON! Down goes Lashley but Rey keeps moving, only to run into a BOOT! Lashley glares at Dom, rains down rights on Rey, then digs his knee into Rey’s face! Lashley lets off, Pearce watches closely as Lashley CLUBS Rey in the chest. Lashley looms over Rey, waits for him to rise, but Dom gets on the apron. Lashley steps to Dom, Rey attacks from behind!
Lashley is on the ropes, Rey slides, but Lashley gets him for a fireman’s carry! Rey fights with elbows and knees, moves around and RANAS Lashley into the POST! Rey gets back in the ring to WRECK Lashley with a dropkick! Rey runs and hits a 619 through the ropes! It wasn’t the best, but Rey slides to SPLASH down! Fans fire up as Rey gets in the ring and the ring count starts. Lashley stirs, Rey takes aim again. Slingshot for the PLANCHA, but Lashley catches Rey! Lashley SLAMS Rey into the barriers! Lashley claps mockingly as Raw goes to break.
Raw returns once more, Rey fights back with body shots but Lashley RAMS him into a corner! Lashley stomps Rey, backs up and runs in to clothesline! Lashley paces, runs in again and clotheslines! Fans rally for Rey but Lashley waves a dismissive hand as he gets Rey up. Lashley pumps up and runs in again, but Rey dodges! Rey KICKS and CLUBS away, then runs, ducks, dodges and baits Lashley into a BOOT! QUEBRADA, but Lashley catches Rey and pops him around to a DOMINATOR! Lashley mockingly applauds, then he drags Rey up to slide out of the ring! Rey bounces off the ground to also hit barriers!
Lashley goes out, drags Rey up and fireman’s carries. Rey fights but can’t get free this time, and Lashley POSTS him! Lashley flexes while Dom checks on his father. Lashley goes back to Rey, drags him up and puts him in at 6 of 10. Lashley watches Rey flounder around, runs in corner to corner, and RAMS into him! Lashley lets Rey fall, then gets him up to suplex. Lashley holds Rey up, points at Dom and slashes his throat, to then SLAM Rey down! Cover, TWO! Rey is still in this and fans cheer! Lashley kicks Rey, stands on Rey’s head, but lets off as the ref counts. Lashley drags Rey up, puts him in the Tree of Woe with a single gut wrench, then he goes corner to corner, only for Rey to sit up!
Lashley hits buckles, Rey gets out and runs to 619 Lashley in the stomach! Dropkick puts Lashley back on ropes, and Rey redials but Lashley runs at him! Drop toehold, 619!! Direct hit to the head and Rey goes up! FROG SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! And Lashley sits up with Rey to scoop and HURT LOCK!! Rey is a ragdoll, but he taps out! Lashley wins!
Winner: Bobby Lashley, by submission
But Lashley wants to hurt Rey! Dom wants to get in but he can’t help but be intimidated given he just felt that hold himself seven days ago. Lashley lets Rey go finally, and Dom gets in to check on his father. Will Rey even be able to help his team?
Backstage interview with Adam Pearce.
Any last minute thoughts on Survivor Series? Actually, yes. Pearce borrows the mic to go out on stage. “Ladies and gentlemen, it is literally my job to make sure that we have the best competition possible at Survivor Series.” That is why it pains Pearce to say that for the wellbeing of Raw, and for the wellbeing of Rey Mysterio, Pearce has “no choice” but to remove Rey Mysterio from Team Raw! His replacement will be named at a later time. Dom can’t believe this! Disrespect to him is one thing, but to his legendary father?
But Austin Theory shows up to give Dom an ATL!! And then he gets his selfies! Oh, hold on then. Pearce decides that Austin Theory should replace Rey Mysterio! Insults added to injury! But will Theory’s career take off with Survivor Series as the launchpad?
My Thoughts:
This Raw did not feel like a go-home at all. But mostly because the last few weeks have had Go Home Syndrome from all the unnecessary recaps and short matches. Hell, roughly ten minutes were wasted in the last half hour because they needed to do a huge SmackDown recap! Lashley VS Rey could’ve been way better if we’d gotten those 10 minutes back. But whatever, I should’ve figured ad revenue means more to Vince than the actual product. Rey being out and Theory being in was a disappointing surprise, but it seems Raw just had to have a parallel to Sonya’s bias against Naomi. Pearce will be biased against the Mysterios, maybe they feud with Lashley and the Hurt Business.
We got pretty good stuff out of Big E’s story, and I do have to admit they are blending stories through him. New Day VS Bloodline, but then also Big E has both Rollins and Kevin to worry about. I feel like WWE actually did something clever today, advertising Rollins VS Balor on social media only to “change plans” when Rollins gets involved with Big E, Riddle and the Usos. We got good tag matches from them, Rollins gets a good, quick win before running away, but RKBRO and Big E stand tall after. The math therefore says the Bloodline finds a way to win at Survivor Series in both the tag and the top title matches.
There does appear to be mounting pressure within RKBRO, and there are plenty of teams that are coming for the titles. Profits get a quick win off the Academy, Styles & Omos get a win over the Dawgs, but I’d rather put Profits in against RKBRO than Styles & Omos again. Plus, I feel like if Styles & Omos are sticking together, they’re working to make that turn to Face, what with all the movie and pop culture talk. Finn VS Kevin was a great “change,” they gave us a great match, and Kevin got a great win for himself to start this new Heel turn. Kevin should get a shot at the world title, even while Rollins has his shot on deck. Finn meanwhile could go for the US Championship and add to his legacy.
The women’s division did about the same as they have been these days, in that the midcard is lacking in favor of the top of the card. I did like that Tamina wanted her piece of Bianca, sort of making Bianca the gatekeeper on the way back up the rankings. Piper puts her on notice and their feud will certainly carry them both to #WWEDayOne and the Rumble. The main thing I appreciated from Becky’s promo with Liv is that they actually used material from Talking Smack. That show finally matters again, and I would hope tonight’s Raw Talk with Liv on it will be treated the same the closer we get to Liv’s title match.
The tag champions going back to back in matches was logical stuff, but them trading off with Zelina and Carmella of course leans towards a tag title match. I really hope the tag title match is actually good. Like, really, really good. The Women’s Tag Division on RawDown hasn’t been given much respect outside of when Bayley & Sasha had all the belts, Vince needs to learn he can make the other women stars through this division rather than using stars try and raise the division up.

Hiroshi Tanahashi VS Jeff Cobb!
The Ace’s Final Road continues on, but it would seem the Imperial Unit has hit the end of his run in NJPW. Will the President give Cobb a proper sendoff? Or is there one last Tour of the Islands planned?
The bell rings and the fans rally up for “COBBU! COBBU!” Tanahashi nods, and Cobb is emotional hearing that. Cobb and Tanahashi circle, tie up, and Tanahashi waistlocks. But Cobb’s a bit too big to lift even for The Ace. Cobb walks over to the ROPEBREAK, and Tanahashi lets go. The fans applaud and the two reset. They tie up, Tanahashi wrenches and wristlocks, but Cobb powers through, wrenches and wristlocks in return, then hammerlocks to headlock. Tanahashi puts Cobb on the ropes, the ref counts, and Tanahashi lets go cleanly again. The fans applaud the continued sportsmanship, and the two reset again.
Cobb runs up, and he SLINGBLADES?! Cover, TWO!! The “Cobby Cat” strikes again but Tanahashi survives his own move. Cobb whips Tanahashi, Tanahashi grabs ropes, but Cobb runs up. Tanahashi BOOTS Cobb, runs up, but Cobb scoops! Cobb SLAMS Tanahashi, and then air guitars before the GACHIMUCHI- NO, Tanahashi avoids the moonsault! Then Tanahashi sets up, to MOONSAULT!? But Cobb moves so Tanahashi belly flops on the floor! The fans fire up while both men are pulling out all the stops. Cobb steps on Tanahashi, pretends he didn’t see Tanahashi there, and then brings Tanahashi up.
Cobb ROCKS Tanahashi with a forearm, then headlocks. Cobb brings Tanahashi to the ropes to show everyone as he messes with Tanahashi’s hair. Cobb then CLUBS Tanahashi, brings him around, and suplexes. Cobb holds Tanahashi up, the fans cheer as Cobb marches around with him, and then Cobb pops Tanahashi for a POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Tanahashi stays in this but Cobb stays on him with a GROUND COBRA! Cobb uses Tanahashi as the guitar, then CLUBS him in the ribs and chest! Cobb eggs Tanahashi on, and Tanahashi growls and rises up. Tanahashi fires body shots and forearms, but Cobb just HEADBUTTS back!
Tanahashi staggers away to a corner, and Cobb runs up, only for Tanahashi to dodge! Tanahashi dropkicks Cobb’s legs! Tanahashi then grabs one, and Cobb asks for mercy! Cobb apologizes, but Tanahashi says bye-bye! DRAGON SCREW! The fans cheer while Cobb clutches his leg. Tanahashi storms up on Cobb to fire more fast hands! Tanahashi then says, “MY POWER!” And he SCOOP SLAMS Cobb! The fans fire up as Tanahashi climbs the corner. Tanahashi hits the SUNSET SENTON! Cover, TWO! Cobb is tougher than that but Tanahashi gets moving. But Cobb ROCKS Tanahashi! Cobb winds up, he runs, but Tanahashi dodges the slingblade!
Tanahashi waistlocks, Cobb switches, but Tanahashi throws elbows. Cobb picks Tanahashi up to SLAM him down, and FALLING HAMMER! Cover, TWO! Tanahashi stays in this, but the GACHIMUCHI MOONSAULT hits! Cover, TWO!! Tanahashi survives the double impact, but Cobb looms over him. Cobb drags Tanahashi up, fires his own fast hand combo, then scoops to SLAM Tanahashi! Cobb grins as he looks to the corner. The fans fire up as Cobb hops up, air guitar and the pose, SUNSET FLOP as Tanahashi moves! Tanahashi runs, but Cobb grabs tights!

Cobb pops Tanahashi up, shifts around, and ATHLETIC- SLINGBLADE?!? Cover, TWO!! Tanahashi rises, the fans fire up, and Tanahashi runs to SLING- NO, Cobb gets around to GERMAN SUPLEX! But Tanahashi rises again! SLING- NO, Cobb scoops Tanahashi, but then pops him around again! TOUR OF THE ISLANDS!! Cobb roars, but he’s not done!! Cobb ripcords Tanahashi for the RIPCORD- CRADLE COUNTER!! TANAHASHI WINS!!
Winner: Hiroshi Tanahashi, by pinfall
Cobb got cocky and it to cost him! Tanahashi still tells Cobb he’s proud of him and of Cobb’s time here in NJPW. The two shake hands and hug it out while the fans cheer. Tanahashi’s Final Road rolls on, and The United Empire is here to say farewell to their friend. Cobb is handed a mic, and Chris Charleton is there to interpret. Cobb says he was not expecting to lose tonight. But first and foremost, he wants to thank the people that don’t even get seen by the fans. The NJPW staff, the music team, the NJPW World techs, the boys ‘n’ girls in the back, and all the wrestlers Cobb calls “family.” The fans applaud and Cobb says Chris’s Japanese is good.
Cobb takes a moment before he says he had a speech ready, but he’s kinda blanking out from the pressure. Online, there has been an outpouring of love, #ThankYouCobb. But really, he should be thanking each and every one of the fans. Cobb gets emotional again while Chris translates for him. Cobb knows it’s a bit of a crappy situation, but he wants Callum Newman to know, he’s got the ball, so run with it. Cobb lets Chris translate now, and then Cobb wraps by thanking the Empire members here, from Khan, to Templario, to “Jakob Change Your Name,” to Akira and to Callum.
And lastly, Cobb says this is not goodbye, but more see you later. Thank you, NJPW. Thank you, fans. Domo arigato gozaimasu! The fans cheer for Cobb one more time, and he bows deeply to them all. When and where will we see Cobb in the ring, any ring, again?
10 Man Elimination Tag: Los Ingobernables de Japon VS Yuya Uemura, Shota Umino, Taichi, Taka Michinoku & YOSHI-HASHI!
Well, not only is The Ace on his Final Road, but it would seem Tetsuya Naito and Bushi are on their own way out of NJPW. Then will they and their amigos start their Road to Wrestling Dontaku with a celebration? Or will the Heat Storm, Roughneck, Holy Emperor, Blue Playmaker and Headhunter make this anything but tranquilo?
The teams sort out and there’s a lot of entrance attire to put aside. Once Naito is done putting the pants away, LIJ fist bumps while Just4Guys/Hontai shake hands. Yuya steps up against Naito and the fans fire up already. Naito and Yuya stare down while the fans cheer “NA-I-TO! NA-I-TO!” Naito and Yuya step up, but then Naito tags to Bushi. The fans cheer Bushi on now, he circles with Yuya, but then Bushi tags out to Yota. The fans rally as Yuya and Yota feel things out, giving us a taste of their IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship match. They tie up, are in a deadlock, and Yuya wrenches Yota to a wristlock.
Yota slips around, full nelsons, but Yuya breaks that to hammerlock. Yota reaches back to facelock, then he wrenches again. Yuya rolls, wrenches, and arm-drags Yota down. But Yota headscissors! Yuya kips free, and the fans cheer the standoff. Yota and Yuya reset, tie up, and Yota headlocks. Yuya powers up and out, drops down, then hurdles over to arm-drag again!

Takagi HEADBUTTS Taka down, then suplexes high and hard! Cover, TWO! Takagi sits Taka up, runs to BLAST Shota, and the fans cheer! Takagi drags Taka up to HEADBUTT the arm, then wrench it. Tag to Bushi and he CLUBS the arm. Bushi CLUBS Taka down, stomps him, then has the legs. Bushi stands on Taka’s groin! Red Shoes reprimands, Bushi steps off at 4, then stomps Taka around. Tag to Naito and the fans rally as he brings Taka up. Naito cravats Taka, then Hiromu sits in the ropes. Hiromu claims Hontai is up to something, Red Shoes looks over, and Naito SMACKS Taka off Hiromu’s boots!
Taichi protests, but Naito throws hands on Taka. Taka tries to hit back but there’s not much there. Naito CLUBS Taka, but Taka fires a flurry! Naito just ROCKS Taka! Naito runs, but Taka goes the other way to BOOT Naito down! The fans rally up, hot tag to Taichi! Taichi runs at Naito in the corner and BOOTS him! Yota gets in, kicks Taichi then whips, but Taichi BOOTS Yota! Takagi runs up, Taichi dodges to wrench and HOOK KICK! Hiromu gets up but Taichi BLASTS him! Bushi backs off, but Naito CLUBS Taichi.

The fans are torn but Shota drags Takagi up. Shota CHOPS Takagi in the corner, CHOPS, and CHOPS again! Shota whips corner to corner, runs up, and UPPERCUTS!
Shota reels Takagi in, FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect, but Shota clamps on an STF! Takagi endures, fights around, and he drags Shota along towards the ropes!

Yuya arm-drags, then DROPKICKS! Yuya roars and the fans fire up again! Yuya reels Yota in but Yota fights the saido. Yuya still hits a BIG back suplex! Cover, TWO! Yuya drags Yota back up, clinches, but Yota fires elbow after elbow to get free. Then he SUPER- NO, Yuya blocks! Yuya swings, but into the BACKBREAKER! FLATLINER! But he avoids the stomp! Yuya CHOPS then runs, but Yota SUPERKICKS himdown!
LIJ BLASTS Hontai’s corner again, and Yota looms over Yuya. Yota drags Yuya up, bumps him off buckles, then hoists him up top. Yota CHOPS, then he fires up before climbing up. The fans rally up, and Yuya fires forearms! Yota falls back, stands up, and he avoids Yuya’s leap! Yuya comes back, into the GENE TRIGGER! Yota TOSSES Yuya, but Yuya lands on the apron!

Naito switches, shoves Taka at Hiromu and Hiromu wrenches. Pump handle, HIROMU-CHAN ROLL! Cover, Hiromu ELIMINATES Taka! And that leaves it 2v1, Hiromu & Naito against Taichi!

Winners: Los Ingobernables de Japon, by ring out
It came down to the leaders as the last men, but the Uncontrollable Charisma found a way to win for the team! LIJ regroups and Naito is given the mic. “Buenas tardes, Korakuen Hall!” The fans cheer, and Naito says, “First and foremost… Bushi, why don’t you say something to the fans?” The fans applaud and Bushi takes a quick drink of water before he takes up the mic. “Now that I have this time, I’ll say this. As previously announced by NJPW, my departure was a decision made after a lot of thought. I have no regrets.” The fans applaud that, and Bushi continues, “My feelings haven’t changed since I spoke here 10 years ago. It’s been a deeply fulfilling experience.”
The fans applaud that, too, and Bushi says, “This Dontaku tour is only getting started. When I step into this ring, I’ll show my gratitude in my own way. Thank you.” The fans applaud again, and Bushi hands the mic back to Naito. Naito also notes that the Road to Wrestling Dontaku has just begun. He and Bushi will be leaving NJPW after May 4th. “Whether Bushi and I will compete in this ring again or not, you already know, don’t you? Yes, the answer is of course, TRANQUILO! Assen na yo!” The fans applaud Naito being Naito even now. Naito then asks if they want to do the roll call, and the fans cheer!
Naito notes they haven’t had one at all this year, so this will be the first roll call of 2025. Are you ready? The fans cheer, so Naito says that the only way to close out tonight in Korakuen Hall is naturally with… “Bushi! Hiromu! Takagi! Titan! Yota! Y Naito! NOSOTROS! LOS! INGOBERRRRRRNABLEEEEES~! DE! JA! PON!!” The fans cheer the first LIJ roll call of 2025, but will we get more of them before May 4th? Will we get one on May 4th?
My Thoughts:
A great night to kick off the Road to Wrestling Dontaku, though of course it had to be on one of the busiest weekends of the year. Great goodbye match for Cobb with Tanahashi. It was a big awkward because while Tanahashi is still going to retire this year, Cobb was leaving, and so Cobb leaving NJPW trumps Tanahashi retiring, meaning Cobb had to lose. It’s the unwritten tradition of pro-wrestling. Very good farewell promo from Cobb, too, and I can’t wait to see where he goes next. Word is, it isn’t AEW, and perhaps the WWE rumors have still been true all along, they just leaked out way too soon.
And then very good 10 Man Elimination Tag in the main event, and it works out that LIJ won. Naito & Bushi needed a chance to address the fans about their own departure from NJPW, and so giving them the win so they can do a main event promo was fitting. In my estimation, I don’t see Naito going to any other company, even if it’s another Japanese based company. He’s done plenty in his career, he’s pushed his body pretty hard, so he needs to enjoy retirement, or at least make a lateral movement to be working with Young Lions in the NJPW Dojo as a teacher. Bushi, could probably keep going a little longer, or he could also call it a day on the other hand, only Bushi really knows how his body feels.
My Score: 8.8/10

The Evil Genius won this title off of The Eradicator, but perhaps only because The EST, who had won the Elimination Chamber match, ended up a bit of a distraction.

Sin City Street Fight: Damian Priest VS Drew McIntyre!
The Archer of Infamy has had enough of the Scottish Terminator blaming him for all his shortcomings since last WrestleMania. Now, they throw the rulebook out the window and fight like there’s no tomorrow. Will Priest send McIntyre South of Heaven? Or will McIntyre be guilty as sin in Sin City?
Fittingly, Drew McIntyre comes out as “Doomslayer,” from Doom: The Dark Ages. But just as fittingly, Priest has THE Kerry King of Slayer here to play his theme song live.

Drew returns to ROCK Priest! Drew SMACKS Priest off steel steps! And then off the English desk! Drew then POSTS Priest, goes back for more steel steps, and pulls those apart.

Priest sits up but Drew brings the steps back over, to SMASH Priest again! Drew borrows a fan’s phone? That’s his brother! Drew uses the phone to take a selfie and post it! Just like last year! Drew runs up to KICK Priest down, then pushes Priest in the ring. Drew goes looking under the ring, and he brings out a chair! Drew JAMS Priest in the ear! Drew then brings out TWO TABLES!

Will Bron make the most of the Steiner Math he worked out the other day? Will that 129.2% be trumped by #CeroMiedo? Or will this title soon belong to the Judgment Day?

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! Orton isn’t quite sure what to make of this, but the fans are loving it! The bell rings, the fans chant “WE BELIEVE! WE BELIEVE!” as Orton and Hendry step up. Then R K- NO, Hendry rolls Orton up!

The Viper strikes, the Viper wins, and that’s a great way to cap off 20 years! But Orton does show Hendry respect by helping him stand back up. The fans cheer, Orton tells Hendry that all these people believe in him, and Hendry thanks Orton. Orton raises Hendry’s hand in respect, the fans cheer more, and then Orton RKOS!! Thanks for coming, Hendry! And then Orton… TURNS! Orton does his pose and the fans cheer. Will Orton only hit a new level of excellence on the other side of 20 years?
AJ Styles VS Logan Paul!
The Phenomenal One is just the newest of a long list of people that don’t like The Maverick. It isn’t Logan’s ability in the ring, it’s the fact Logan Paul is brash, obnoxious, and just downright arrogant, and that’s being nice. But will Styles use his own talent and ability to finally humble Logan? Or will Logan go from annoying to insufferable in the blink of an eye?
Logan of course vlogs his entrance with a selfie video, soaking up all the heat as he goes. Then things go multiscreen just so we can see Logan from all angles. One Logan Paul is bad enough, but imagine nine of him… Finally, Styles makes his entrance, and he knows he only needs to be the one and only. The bell rings and the two circle. The fans rally for Styles, he and Logan tie up, and they’re in a deadlock. Styles powers Logan back, put shim in a corner, but the ref counts. Logan turns things around, the ref counts more, and Logan lets off to talk trash. Logan shoves Styles, eggs Styles on, but Styles just laughs that off.
The fans rally as Styles and Logan circle. They tie up, Styles slips around and headlocks. Logan fires body shots, then powers his way to a headlock. Styles endures, lifts, and puts Logan on ropes. Styles powers out, hurdles, then drops down. Logan stops himself, Styles runs up, but Logan puts him on the apron. Styles RAMS Logan, slides in and whips, but Logan reverses, only for Styles to run him over! Styles talks smack, runs, but now Logan hurdles. Styles DROPKICKS Logan down! Styles covers, ONE, but Styles goes to the outside. Styles drags Logan out, slaps him around, but Logan kicks Styles away.
Styles bumps into the desk, Logan PLANCHAS, but Styles catches him in the apron skirt! Styles goes all Fit Finlay on Logan Paul! Styles then CHOPS Logan, the fans “WOO~!” and Styles throws up the Too Sweet. The fans cheer, and Styles goes back to SLIDING KNEE Logan from the apron! Logan falls down, Styles steps inside, and the ring count climbs. The fans cheer Styles while he waits on Logan. Logan crawls around on the floor, Styles goes out the side, but Logan RAMS Styles into barriers! Logan brings Styles around to UPPERCUT! Logan whips Styles, Styles reverses and Logan hits barriers hard! The fans fire up while Styles stands tall.
Styles stalks Logan, drags him up, and SMACKS him off the apron. The fans rally behind Styles while he pushes Logan into the ring. Styles goes to the apron, but Logan avoids the shoulder to KICK Styles, POST him, and then whip him into the other POST! Styles falls to the floor and Logan slaps some sense into himself. Logan wants the count to get going but we’re only at 3 of 10. Styles rises at 5, but Logan PLANCHAS! Direct hit this time and Logan fires up!

WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships: Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez VS Lyra Valkyria & ???
This was meant to be the Judgment Day’s leading ladies against The Morrigan & The Role Model. However, someone, or a couple someones, took Bayley out of action with a backstage attack.

Stone Cold Steve Austin is here!
Vegas goes nuts as the glass shatters, and The Texas Rattlesnake rides out on a four-wheeler! He goes down the ramp, goes around the ring a couple times, but then rams into the barrier! Whoops! Maybe Austin had a couple Steveweisers before coming out. Austin grabs a mic to say, “If you’re havin’ a great time at WrestleMania, gimme a ‘Hell Yeah!'” “HELL YEAH!” Austin says, “Some o’ ya heard me, some o’ ya didn’t. If you’re having a great time at WrestleMania, gimme a ‘Hell Yeah!'” “HELL YEAH!!” Austin says he is out here to announce tonight’s attendance. It is officially 63,226! And Austin’s been in a lot of buildings just like this, and it just feels like way more than 63,226!
The fans cheer, and Austin demands a recount! Sometimes when you want a job done right, you gotta do it yourself. Everyone sit down and stay still so he can count. Austin actually starts counting! And every time, we get “WHAT?” Wait, are we gonna get 63,000 what’s?! Austin says nah, enough of that BS. 63,226 tonight, so the weekend total is 124,693 “solid ass cats!” Austin hopes everyone makes it home safely, and hopes everyone comes back for next year’s WrestleMania. “And that’s the bottom line, cuz Stone Cold said so!” The pyro goes off, and now Austin gets to have some Steveweisers! The fans cheer the beer bath, and Austin reloads for even more!
Austin goes back out to apologize to the fans behind the spot in the barriers he hit, then he chooses to walk back up the ramp. When and where will we see Stone Cold again?
Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes VS John Cena!
It’s the moment of truth. The Rock wanted The American Nightmare to “sell his soul” so he could be living the easy life as The Final Boss’s Champion. Cody rejected the offer in the most direct way possible, only for the sixteen-time world champion to show his true colors. And now, seven weeks later, after both verbal battles and physical confrontations, these two will finally put it to the test: Will Cody Rhodes do the “right thing?” Or will he do what it takes to win? The Last Time is Now, but will it also be Cena’s SEVENTEENTH time as world champion?
For Cena’s entrance, his tron is boiled down to just black and white, and his name up in lights. His final WrestleMania, and Cena won’t give the fans the satisfaction of a flashy, over the top spectacle of an entrance. As for Cody’s entrance, there’s a lot of smoke, and then there are Motocross dirt bike riders going across the stage! Then, as they stop and stand in line, and as the smoke clears, Cody Rhodes is there, a brand new skull helmet on his head. It opens up like Ironman’s helmet! The fans sing along with Cody’s song, “WHOA~ OH~!” The pyro goes off and Cody continues down the ramp, looking out at the sea of people here in Las Vegas.
Cody stands on the corner for the second “WHOA~ OH~!” and pyro, then he gets a hug and kiss from wife, daughter, and mother. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and time to learn the difference between the first and the last!
The fans are already thunderous with their dueling, “LET’S GO, CENA!” “CENA SUCKS!” The bell rings, the fans fire up more, and the two circle. Cena and Cody take a moment to hear all of that energy from the WWE Universe. The two then tie up, go around, and Cody headlocks. Cena endures as Cody grinds the hold, then he powers up and out. Cody runs Cena over! Cena bails out, the fans are torn, and Cody asks if this is supposed to be #BigMatchJohn. Cena cools off while the fans continue to duel. Cena steps back into the ring, Cody eggs him on, and the two reset. Cena seems just annoyed by the fans at this point.
Cody and Cena tie up. Cody headlocks, then shifts, and hammerlocks. Cena goes to the ropes, the ref counts the break, and Cody lets go. Cena steps outside in a huff, and he wants Cody to back off. Cody backs up, Cena steps back in, and the fans just get fired up again. Cody and Cena tie up. Cody waistlocks, Cena ELBOWS free, then he headlocks. Cena hits a headlock takeover, as if to show he can wrestle. Cody headscissors, and he holds Cena down with the squeeze. Cena powers free, but Cody DROPKICKS him! Cena bails out again and is just frustrated now. Cody builds speed and DIVES! No more escaping the action for Cena!
Cody puts Cena in, storms up, but Cena DECKS Cody! Cena then headlocks, but Cody powers him to a corner. The ref reprimands and counts, but Cena sucker punches Cody! The fans are torn as Cena stomps away on Cody! Cena bumps Cody off buckles, then whips him to ropes. Cena BOOTS Cody down, a rare thing for Cena even when he was in his prime. Cena does a mocking bow, then he DECKS Cody again! Cena stomps Cody, drags him up and reels him in, but the fans seem to be fighting about something of their own. Cody pops free to fire hands! Cena stomps Cody’s foot! Cena then KNEES Cody in the head!
Cena seethes while Cody crawls to a corner. Cena stalks Cody, drags him up, and Cena whips corner to corner. Cody hits buckles hard, then falls to the mat. Cody crawls under the bottom rope, but Cena grabs the legs! ROPE GUILLOTINE! Cena talks trash on Cody while he tumbles to the floor, then Cena goes out after Cody. Cena puts Cody in the ring, stalks him again, and runs up to BOOT Cody down! Cena then takes aim, runs up, and LARIATS! And then he LARIATS again! Cover, ONE!! Cody shows he’s tougher than that, but Cena clamps on a chinlock. Cody endures as Cena squeezes tight.
The fans rally as Cody fights the hold, but Cena leans on him. Cody fights up, stands, and he fires body shots! Cena lets go, and Cody ROCKS him with haymakers! Cody backs Cena down, has him on the ropes then whips, only for Cena to reverse, scoop, and SIDEWALK SLAM! Cover, TWO! Cena goes to a corner, hops up, and waits on Cody to stand. Cena leaps to AX HANDLE! Cena brings out more classic pro-wrestling moves, and he bumps Cody off buckles! Cena hops up again, to AX HANDLE again! Cena climbs up again, Cody stands back up, and Cena AX- NO, Cody kicks low! Cody ROCKS Cena with more rights!
Cena pokes Cody in the eyes! And then Cena CLUBS and HAMMERS away on Cody! Cover, TWO! Cody stays in this, even as Cena resorts to some new lows. But Cena grins as he literally kicks Cody’s butt! Cena hears the fans duel even harder as he stands Cody up. Cena whips, Cody reverses, then Cody runs up, but into a BOOT! Cena goes up, to TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO! Cody survives as Cena turns it up a notch. Cena taunts the fans, taunts Cody, and then runs to get the SHOULDER TACKLES going! Now Cena brings out his classic move, but then he stops with just one. Cena dares Cody to get up, and then he runs to SHOULDER TACKLE again!
Cena grins as he’s basically toying with Cody now. Cody staggers up, Cena reels Cody in, and hits the SPIN OUT BOMB! The fans know what’s next in the “five moves of doom,” and Cena knows we know. Cena shakes out his hand, holds it up, and says- EYE POKE from Cody! Cena staggers, runs up on Cody anyway, but Cody goes up and over to SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans are torn as Cody powers up! DISASTER KICK! Cody pounds the mat, the fans rally and duel, and Cody runs to springboard and CODY CUTTER! Cover, TWO! Cena survives but Cody stays focused. Cody waits on Cena, to JAB! JAB! JAB!
Cody flips, flops, flies, but Cena drop toeholds! Cody fights off the STF, but Cena fireman’s carries! ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!! Cover, TWO!?! Cody survives, and Cena is actually amused! Cena decides to get back on track, and he tells the fans that “You Can’t See Me!” FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE! Then fireman’s carry, but Cody sunset flips! TWO! Cody is up, he counter punches Cena! Cody whips, Cena reverses, but Cody goes up and out, then ROCKS Cena! Cody goes up, up, but Cena hits the ropes! That trips Cody up onto his crossroads! Cena climbs, and he fireman’s carries Cody for a SUPER A A!!! Cover, TWO?!?!
Cody survives the Avalanche Attitude Adjustment, aka the Triple A, and Cena is honestly surprised. Cena decides to pull out all the stops and he climbs up the corner. Cody rises, Cena aims, SUPER FAM- POWERBOMB!! High stack, TWO!! Cody’s counter did not finish this, but he and Cena both rise up. Cody looms over Cena, then he runs to go up the corner! SUPER CODY CUTTER!! Cover, TWO!!! Cena survives and now Cody is rather surprised! Cody huffs ‘n’ puffs and rises up. The fans are torn as Cody shouts for Cena to get up. Cena rises, Cody dragon sleepers! But Cena wrenches free, fireman’s carry, A A!!! And then the S T F U!!
Cody endures, crawls, drags Cena with him, reaches out, but Cena drags Cody back! S T F U!! Cody endures again, crawls again, drags Cena along again, and reaches out again, only for Cena to drag him back again! And even further! But Cody turns over and BOOTS Cena, into the ref!! Cena fireman’s carries, Cody slips free to dragon sleeper! CROSS RHODES!!! But no ref to count this cover! Cody would’ve won twice over! Maybe even three times over! Cody realizes what happened, and he goes to check the ref while Cena crawls away. Cena rips a buckle pad away! The fans can’t believe he’s going this far! Cena goes back for Cody, but Cody ROCKS Cena!
Cody ROCKS Cena again and again, backing Cena down, But then Cena sends Cody into the bare steel! And then back in again! Fireman’s carry, ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!!! Cover, TWO?!?!? Cody survives and no one can believe this! Cena is beside himself, not sure what Cody is made of! WAIT! Is that Travis Scott?! Time to FE!N with the (honorary) Hardcore Champion! Cena grins as The Rock’s other guy makes his way out here! Scott is taking his time but Cena is happy to see him. Cena helps Scott to the apron, raises his hand in victory already, and then says one minute. Cena goes to fetch Cody, and Scott wants to take a shot!
The fans boo, but Cody elbows free! Cody chases Scott off, then he catches Cena! CROSS RHODES!! Cover, but Scott YANKS the ref out!! Cody is furious because the fix is in! Cody says he still owes Scott a receipt, and Scott says bet! Scott storms into the ring, talks some smack, and Cody dares Scott to take a shot. Scott tries, but Cody blocks it! CROSS RHODES for Travis Scott!! Cody pushes Scott out of the ring, but he’s a lot of deadweight. But wait! Cena has Cody’s belt! Cena winds up, BELT- NO, Cody blocks it! Cody says not today! They tug-o-war over the belt, Cody takes the belt away, and now Cena wants mercy!?
Cena wants Cody to remember: Is he going to do what’s right? Or is he going to do what it takes? Cody does hesitate, unsure which is which, and Cena LOW BLOWS him!! The fans are going nuts but Cena picks the belt back up. Cody rises to his feet, only to take the BELT SHOT!! Just like Elimination Chamber! Cena shouts to the ref, drags Cody to a cover, and the ref is in! The count begins, and CENA WINS!!!
Winner: John Cena, by pinfall (NEW Undisputed WWE Champion)
And there is history made! Cena did everything he had to, and even needed help from The Rock, but Cena now stands alone as THE historic 17-time WWE Champion! Scott celebrates with Cena, holding their belts high overhead. The pyro goes off as the number 17 is big and bright on the tron. The GOAT is truly THE GOAT, and Cody is living a nightmare. Will The Final Boss be pleased with what his champions did here tonight? Will Cena hold onto this title until he retires at the end of this year? Or can someone, anyone, prevent further tragedy on this twisted farewell tour?
My Thoughts:
Another great night for WrestleMania 41, especially when it had to follow that first great night. Opening with the Women’s World Championship is a good parallel to the World Heavyweight Championship opening yesterday, and that Triple Threat was awesome. All three women are obviously incredible, but they looked even more incredible than that in the match. I’m a little surprised Iyo won instead of Bianca, but that was a great sequence to give Iyo the win. Perhaps Bianca and Rhea split off to have their own feud on the road to Backlash, and who knows who Iyo faces in the meantime, but this is good stuff.
Priest VS McIntyre was an awesome Street Fight, though I’m surprised they didn’t go into the crowd. Maybe that’s for the better, we got that last night with Punk and Rollins in the Triple Threat. But as I figured, Drew wins because he kinda needs it most. Not sure where he goes from here, given where the championships have all ended up, but maybe Face-Heel dynamics won’t matter to Drew. And speaking of championships, great Fatal 4 Intercontinental Championship match. Of course Dom and Finn end up going after each other, but it is a touch surprising Dom turned on Finn. Granted, Finn was throwing that passive aggressive shade, so this is more like Dom standing up to Finn. Great sequence to finish and Dom winning is awesome stuff for him. I would think Dom VS Finn is an obvious feud going towards Backlash and another title match.
Joe Hendry being Randy Orton’s opponent was oddly not on the radar given all the speculation of Aleister Black, Rusev, and a few other possibilities, but it’s great for Hendry to make a WrestleMania debut. I did not think the match would be so quick, but when this is an obvious substitute for the planned Orton VS Kevin match, it does make some sense. Great win for Orton in that way, and of course he RKO’d Hendry a second time just for fun. Backlash being in St. Louis, it should be a given that Orton headlines that, maybe even for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
AJ Styles VS Logan Paul was good, but could’ve been better. Given both guys are so athletic, I’m surprised we didn’t try to make this more about who can fly higher, but it seemed to be more about combining the tech with the high spots. Well, that and testing if Styles can still bust out that aggression. Kross showing up to tempt Styles and Styles resisting was a fine beat, but a bit disappointing that that had to cost Styles for Logan to win. I fear that with Jey Uso as a new Face champion, Logan as the obvious Heel will challenge him for the next stretch.
Great women’s tag title match, and it makes a lot of sense for Becky to be the new tag partner. As I said yesterday, there’s great story for how NXT is going to go, with Lyra being friend to both Tatum and Becky and Tatum can be jealous of Becky. As for Liv & Raquel, they might want a rematch, they might have to deal with Bayley thinking it was them in the attack, who knows. This can also add to the Judgment Day story where Dom is now the only champion in the group, and he has to do his best to lead the group through encouraging Liv & Raquel.
That Stone Cold Steve Austin moment was fun, but then really awkward when he hit the barrier. I can kinda tell he maybe underestimated that turn in front of the desk. He was having fun, saying hey to commentary, and that essentially distracted him and caused the crash. Hopefully the fans there were okay. Seems rather silly they did that much just so Austin could announce the numbers for tonight and then give a “total” that isn’t accurate. Because duh, I would think the majority of the 61,461 or whatever it was came back for night two. So at best, they added another 2,000 people from last night.
And of course, the main event. As a match goes, it was purposefully not good, because of Cena’s line from weeks ago, how he’s going to “ruin wrestling.” I did like that Cena kinda tried to wrestle to stick it to the haters, but then he just resorted to a very Hulk Hogan “big muscular brawler” style. Travis Scott showing up is fitting, but a little disappointing The Rock didn’t make an appearance of any kind. But maybe that’s because fans wanted/expected that, and Cena’s also been about denying fans what they want… But ironically, plenty of fans wanted him to win 17 just for the intrigue, and here we are. Cody’s moment of hesitation costs him, Cena is champion again, and tomorrow night’s Raw is going to be a lot of fun.
