Adam Pearce is in the ring.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Monday Night Raw!” And we’re officially on the Road to WrestleMania after the Royal Rumble event and the shocking return of Rowdy Rhonda Rousey! Plus, we saw the crowning of the All Mighty Bobby Lashley, and pure decimation from The Beast, Brock Lesnar. But on this road, there is a road block: The Elimination Chamber! And in just three weeks, the NEW WWE World Champion will step inside the chamber to defend his title! There will be five other competitors- But here comes Lashley! He’s in a shiny red suit, MVP right behind him, and Lashley is in a great mood.
MVP gets a mic for Lashley, and MVP says that is NOT how this works. Lashley pinned Brock Lesnar 1-2-3, already proved his superiority, going to Hell and back to do it. And now Pearce wants Lashley to defend his title inside the Elimination Chamber? That’s not fair! The odds are awful! What Pearce is doing is wrong! The Chamber is the most brutal and barbaric match in the WWE. What is wrong with Pearce?! Lashley then asks Pearce, “Who the hell do you think you are?” He’s supposed to be celebrating his win over Lesnar. He knew he was better all along. Lashley is a better amateur wrestler, a better MMA fighter and a better WWE Champion!
Everyone thought the Beast could not be slain, and Lashley slayed the Beast. Watch the footage if you have any doubts. So all the Lesnar fans, Lashley asks you, “Who’s the conqueror now? Who’s the beast now? Who’s the champion now? Bobby Lashley.” Pearce tries to reason with Lashley but here comes Lesnar! And he’s still dressed for a fight! Lesnar smiles now as Mr. Royal Rumble 2022 and takes a victory lap to fist bump fans. Lesnar then gets in the ring, gets the mic from Pearce, and tells MVP to shut up or he’ll stick that cane up MVP’s ass. And as for “Bobby Who,” he’s gonna stand here and pretend like he’s the champion? C’mon, Bobby!
From one athlete to another, where’s the pride in that? Lashley knows he didn’t actually win. C’mon. Now, they know the only way Lashley won was cuz of Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman. Lashley laughs that off but Lesnar says he isn’t mad at Lashley. They’re good. Lesnar is mad at Roman and Heyman. Now, after that little “debacle,” a good contest honestly, kudos to Lashley, but uh… Lesnar took it upon himself to enter the Royal Rumble match. News flash: Lesnar won the Royal Rumble! Ain’t that a knee slapper? But Lesnar won, and because he won, he can choose a champion for a fight at WrestleMania.
“Now, listen. No need to worry, Bobby. It’s not you. Y’see, at WrestleMania, I’m gonna face Roman Reigns.” Fans like the sound of that! Lesnar says what this has to do with Lashley, is that at WrestleMania, Lesnar VS Roman is going to be title VS title. So that’s where Lashley comes back into this. See, Lesnar is dressed to fight. So uh, because of that, Lesnar challenges Lashley for a rematch right here in Cinci-freakin-nati! Lesnar is fired up, he wants Lashley to get that $5 suit off and get in gear. Lashley isn’t a fighter, his manager is holding him back! C’mon, Bobby! MVP says “after conferring” with Lashley, the answer is Lesnar can go to the end of the line and earn a shot! Challenge DELCINED!
Lesnar shouts after Lashley as he and MVP go to leave. But Lesnar says Lashley is just CHICKEN SH*T! That pisses Lashley off, but MVP keeps telling him to use logic. Lashley exits the ring, fans boo, but then Lesnar swipes at MVP! MVP gets away, he and Lashley hurry to the ramp. Lesnar keeps shouting, “CHICKEN SH*T!” but Lashley tunes it out. Pearce says Lashley may have said no to a title match tonight, but he will have to defend the title against five superstars at the Elimination Chamber. So then, one of those five will BE Brock Lesnar!! MVP is furious, but Lashley is ready. Will the All Mighty still be mighty inside the Chamber?
Rhea Ripley VS Nikki A.S.H!
The Nightmare and the Almost Super “Hero” are broken up, and now they’re looking to break the other apart! Will Rhea body slam some sense into Nikki? Or will Nikki ride out the Riptide to leave Rhea in the dust?
Raw returns and Nikki makes her entrance. The bell rings, Nikki rushes Rhea but gets run over! Nikki realizes she’s yet to get super strength, but she goes for a leg. Rhea gut wrenches Nikki up to TOSS her! Rhea then drags Nikki back up, scoops, but Nikki slips out and dropkicks the leg. Nikki runs and leaps, but into Rhea’s arms. Rhea pops Nikki around to a suplex! Rhea holds Nikki up there and walks around before she SLAMS Nikki down! Nikki bails out, super durability still not her power. Rhea waits on Nikki but Nikki wants a timeout. Rhea goes out, Nikki slides in. “So you wanna play that game, huh, Nikki?”
Rhea slides in, Nikki slides back out, then traps Rhea in the skirt! Nikki fires off on Rhea, drags her out from the bottom of the skirt, and fans boo while Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and Nikki grinds Rhea down with a top wristlock. Rhea endures, fights up and fans rally. Nikki whips Rhea to a corner, RAMS into her and stomps away. The ref counts, Nikki lets off but ROCKS Rhea with a forearm! Nikki pushes Rhea, goes up top, and she drags Rhea up and in. Tornado but no DDT! Rhea elbows Nikki, then catches her haymaker in a cording hold! Short arm LARAIT! And then another LARIAT! Nikki tries another haymaker but Rhea catches her again, for a HEADBUTT! Snapmare, basement dropkick! Rhea roars and fans fire up with her. Rhea aims from a corner, runs in but Nikki dodges, roll up! ONE, SUPERKICK!
Rhea hauls Nikki up, NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Nikki survives but Rhea gets her up top. Rhea and Nikki brawl with wild haymakers, but then Nikki SMACKS Rhea in the nose! TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO!! Rhea survives and Nikki loses her cool! Nikki hurries back up top, Rhea stands, CROSS- NO! Rhea gets under, Nikki rolls, dodges, and CLUBS Rhea on the back. Nikki reels Rhea in, takes a moment to pose, but Rhea slips out of the neckbreaker to pump handle and RIPTIDE! Cover, Rhea wins!
Winner: Rhea Ripley, by pinfall
Nikki let her super ego get the better of her and now Rhea is standing tall! Will Rhea be able to move on from this and head back for the Raw Women’s Championship?
Alpha Academy Academic Challenge, Round Two – Scooter Race: RKBRO VS Alpha Academy!
Kevin Patrick welcomes us to this special event. Representing the Alpha Academy will be Chad Gable, and representing RKBRO will be Matt Riddle. RKBRO has a 1-0 lead in this best of three series, and Riddle chose this stipulation. Would he like to elaborate on the rules of this race? Riddle would be glad to, KP. This is dedicated to Randy. Love you, bro. Gable grabs Riddle’s crumpled paper and sees it. It just says “Gustavo!” Yeah, that’s the name of his scooter. SHOOSH. Shoosh. This is a joke, and a slap in the face to the Alpha Academy that this is part of an academic challenge.
And that spelling bee was rigged! Accents have given Gable nightmares all week. He oughta dissolution both of them. Bro, save the big words for the master spellers. Don’t even right now. Kevin, hit them with the rules they talked about. Certainly. The first man to complete 50 laps around the arena and arrive at ringside first will be the winner. Gable says that’s easier than he thought. And he called some Olympic friends, the speed skaters. They sent him this speed suit to make him more aerodynamic, bro. Gotta admit, that’s a sweet suit. But more flow means quadruple the acceleration. That’s just science.
Kevin introduces the special guest race starter, R-Truth! Scooterers, to your marks! Ready, get set, GOOO~! Gable takes an early lead, but where will they be after fifty laps?
Raw checks in with Alexa Bliss’ therapy sessions.
The wheels are spinning. What is she thinking about? “Two weeks ago, you mentioned ‘imaginary.’ But Lily was real. Lily’s always been real.” Any time she was pushed around, looked down on, or made fun of, Lily’s been there for her. That was real. Then how would she feel if Lily returned? Really? Well… She’d hug her, play with her, dress her up in her pajamas, maybe have a sleepover and watch scary movies. They always had so much fun. The doctor would like to show her a replica Lily. It shouldn’t mean anything then, since it’s not really her. He brings it out. How does Alexa feel? She smiles, but is that a good or bad sign?
The Miz VS Dominik Mysterio w/ Rey Mysterio!
The Hollywood A-Lister may have lost to Edge again, but he won’t let that stop him from stroking his ego. Will he start on re-inflating it at the expense of the Son of Mysterio?
Raw returns and the Mysterios make their entrance. The bell rings, Miz taunts Rey, but then Miz circles with Dom. They tie up, Miz powers Dom to a corner, but lets off as the ref counts. Miz musses Dom’s hair but Dom pushes back. Dom dodges a haymaker to ROCK Miz with one! Miz grins and gets up to circle with Dom again. They tie up, Dom waistlocks but Miz swings an elbow. Dom ducks, fires haymakers, runs and wheelbarrows to body scissor Miz onto ropes! Miz ducks the 619 and asks if Rey thinks this is funny. Dom drags Miz up to the apron! But Miz hotshots Dom back, then shoves Rey!
Miz gets in the ring, has the ref keep Rey back, and Miz laughs at Rey. But Dom runs in to kick, whip, but Miz kicks him back. Miz runs, but then pretends Rey tripped him! Miz is using a Guerrero tactic to get Rey in trouble! The ref EJECTS Rey! Dom is distracted by Rey having to leave. Miz gets Dom in a SKULL CRUSHING FINALE!! Cover, Miz wins!
Winner: The Miz, by pinfall
The A-Lister outsmarted the Mysterios to get back on the winning track! Will Dom get payback soon enough?
Dana Brooke is on alert.
But Tamina still finds her! They scuffle, Dana pushes Tamina away and gets moving. The scooterers go by, 18 of 50 laps down! Will Tamina ever catch the 24/7 Champion again? Will Riddle make it a 2-0 sweep for RKBRO?
Riddle has the lead in the scooter race!
But wait, he has to stop because Omos is in his way! Oh, hey, Omos. You’ve got beautiful eyes. What? Gable gets the lead back! Oh, sorry, Omos, gotta go! They’re at the halfway point of 25 laps! The finish line is waiting at ringside, who reaches it first?
Kevin Owens heads to the ring!
Before his Elimination Chamber qualifier tonight, The Prizefighter is holding a “Road to WrestleMania” edition of the KO Show! What will Kevin have to say about his journey back to the Grandest Stage of Them All? We find out, after the break.
Raw returns and Kevin welcomes us back to his show. The last few nights have been very exciting. People were thrown over the top ropes, titles were defended and titles were won. We have a new All Mighty WWE Champion! But Kevin agrees, boo that result. But things are only going to get more exciting because we’re headed to, get this, the most STUPENDOUS WrestleMania ever! Two nights, double the stupendousness! And as exciting as that might be, here’s a little scoop. Kevin Owens is in the Elimination Chamber match! Well, as soon as he beats that protected, sheltered wannabe, Austin Theory. But he’ll get it done.
Enough about that, tonight is about Kevin’s guest. A man who should be here as your WWE Universal Champion. It is Seth FREAKIN’ Rollins! The Visionary walks out, still moving despite being sore from the chairshots Roman gave him. Rollins goes to the ring and Kevin hands him a mic. Kevin asks how Rollins is feeling. Are they going to sit? Yeah, they’ll sit tonight, Rollins isn’t 100%. Kevin thanks Rollins for accepting his invitation. Rollins says Cincy is the hottest city in the country! He wouldn’t miss this for the world. Fans chant, “WHO DEY? WHO DEY?” Kevin doesn’t get it but Rollins says it’s a football thing.
Kevin wants to remind everyone what happened on Saturday. “Despicable people in the truck, play the footage.” A highlight reel shows us how Rollins used The Shield attire and theme to mess with Roman, and how he came so close to winning the title. Rollins trolling Roman might’ve gone a bit too far with the fist bump offer, as Roman held onto his guillotine headlock during the ropebreak and got himself disqualified. Roman still retained the title despite losing, but that only made Roman snap and recreate the chair attack from the night of the Shield betrayal. Kevin say she can’t sit, he’s all fired up.
What Roman did to Rollins was “disgusting, it was shameful.” But Roman did that on purpose because he knew he couldn’t beat Rollins. And y’know what? While Rollins may not officially be champion, Kevin wants Rollins to look at him when he says he is the Universal Champion of Kevin’s heart. Rollins tells Kevin thanks, that means a lot. Rollins stands up to say that he may not be Universal Champion, he did acquire something else. And that is a permanent piece of real estate int he mind of Roman Reigns. And the net time he goes back, he will bring back that Universal title. But that’s SmackDown business. Tonight is Raw. Yes, that is true.
So it has come to Rollins’ attention that Lashley is defending his title inside Elimination Chamber. Rollins is here with a special announcement for that match. Oh? Rollins didn’t tell Kevin. Well it’s a surprise. Oh, okay. Surprises are good. Go ahead, the floor is Rollins. Drum roll, please. Uh, ok. The speakers give a drum roll, and Rollins says one of the men in that Elimination Chamber will be… SETH FREAKIN’ ROLLINS! Whoa, so he’s in the match? Automatically? Kevin has to qualify. Well Rollins’ match with Roman was enough. Be happy for him. Kevin is happy for Rollins! He’s pumped!
Kevin says this is well deserved. Rollins in the Chamber, that’s awesome. Kevin will get in, too. But where are Pearce and Sonya? In the back. Well maybe Rollins can tell them to just put Kevin in the Chamber or else Rollins will give up his spot. That way, Kevin can just be in the match, too! Uh… Maybe. Kevin says he’d do it for Rollins. That is 100% truth. Well, Rollins wants to believe that but… Austin Theory shows up! Vince McMahon’s pet project is ready for his chance to get in the Chamber! Will KO make his discussion with Rollins moot by winning his way in? Or will Theory make Vince proud with a big win over the Prizefighter?

Do Gable’s cauliflower ears deceive him, or is Riddle saying Gable’s a cheater? Gable’s never cheated at anything in his life. Not to make the Olympics, not to get a Master’s Degree, and not on his 4.0 GPA, thank you. But if Riddle wants a match, and because Gable is pissed, Riddle has his match with Otis.

Rey keeps his cool, fans fire up again and Rey KICKS Styles’ leg. Rey KICKS, whips, but Styles holds ropes to deny the dropkick! SLIDING FOREARM!
Styles fireman’s carries, USHIGOROSHI! Cover, TWO! Rey is still in this but Styles keeps focus. Styles waistlocks and gets Rey up, but Rey victory rolls to put Styles on ropes! Rey dials it up, but Styles ducks the 619! Styles ROCKS Rey from the apron, springboards in, but Rey gets under! Rey runs in but Styles catches him and rolls him. Rey rolls through to BUZZSAW! But Rey collapses, both men are down on the mat! Rey crawls to a cover, TWO!! Rey almost caught Styles sleeping on the job, but he keeps cool as he stalks Styles to the corner. Rey RAMS his shoulder in, hoists Styles up top and climbs.
Rey calls his shot, but Styles blocks the Super Steiner! Styles drags Rey into position, SUPER- NO! No Clash! Rey pops out, elbows back and goes up to leap, RANA onto the ropes! Rey redials, 619!! Rey goes up top as fast as he can, for the FROG SPLASHÂ but he flops as Styles sits up! But Rey still gets him for a ghost pin! TWO!! Styles ducks Rey’s clothesline to PELE! Both men are down again, but Styles hurries to get up. Styles drags Rey up, reels him in, but Rey turns Clash into SEATED SENTON! Rey hurries back up top, SEATED SENTON again, but Styles rolls through! STYLES CLASH!! Cover, Styles wins!
Winner: AJ Styles, by pinfall (qualifies for the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber)
Once again, a phenomenal finish! Styles finds a way to win, and now he is the sixth and final man in that grueling title match! Will he find a way to take that title from the All Mighty Lashley?
Rhonda Rousey is here!
As promised, the Baddest Woman on the Planet is in Cincinnati, and she’s back as the winner of the Women’s Royal Rumble! Rhonda gets a mic, she smirks as the fans cheer for her, and then she says, “I’ve been debating since Saturday whose title I want to take at WrestleMania. Charlotte’s, or Rebecca’s. I have unfinished business with both. Now, I could choose Rebecca, but… My attention is a compliment she doesn’t really deserve. Because the biggest fight for any woman at any time is always with me. And Rebecca’s stagnating title reign is not my problem. It is hers, though.
“Now, I could choose Charlotte, just to prove that even as a contender, not even a champion yet, that Rebecca is still on my undercard. Then Charlotte will know, Rebecca will know, and everyone will know, that the baddest big time bitch is me!” But here comes Becky! Dressed like a playing card…? “Oh Ronnie, ya little weirdo. I missed ya!” Using her gov’t name and spouting nonsense. Nice to see Rhonda hasn’t changed. But she’s losing credibility with statements like that, when Becky’s the only one who beat Rhonda. And no one’s beat Becky for a title ever since. Wasn’t even sure we’d ever see Rhonda again.
But now that we are seeing her, the biggest match in anyone’s mind is Rhonda VS Becky. But seeing as this is Rhonda’s first WrestleMania back, Becky won’t blame her going for an appetizer like Charlotte before going after the main course. You don’t just sip down a cup of Gazpacho. But if Rhonda wants to go right for the meat ‘n’ potatoes and chooses Becky, Becky’s all game. But if Rhonda could just please decide soon, because this division has never been hotter, and Becky just wants to know who she’ll beat next. So then, who’s it gonna be? Rhonda stays quiet but Becky gets the fans in on it. The fans want to know, that’s why Rhonda came out.
Rhonda THROWS Becky down! Then she takes Becky’s mic to say, “You’ll have my answer on Friday.” Rhonda just gave everyone a reason to watch SmackDown! Well how rude! Becky thought they were catching up. Make it official, Ronnie Fears Becky! Or maybe Rhonda just wanted to get outta Cincy as bad as Becky does! But in that case, Ronnie, run and- LITA?! Lita’s here?! She’s wearing a Big Time Becks merch shirt, and says, “So rude, amirite?” Yes, so rude! What is Rhonda’s problem? That’s what Becky’s said the last four years! Fans are chanting for Lita, and Lita says Rhonda can’t talk like that to the GOAT. Yes, thank you!
Lita knew since day one that Becky would be right here. Becky has set the division on fire. Yes, completely right. And speaking of legends, Becky’s been a fan of Lita’s since she was growing up. She got in trouble wearing a thong outside the pants, but that’s neither here nor there. Well, Lita says the one thing she respects above anything is that Becky’s a fighting champion and never backs down. Yes, Becky never backs down. Wait, what’s Lita getting at? Well, if Becky never backs down from a challenge, Lita was just thinking… Becky VS Lita at Elimination Chamber? Uh, n-no. Fans say, “YES! YES! YES!”
But Becky never backs down, Lita is giving a challenge, so- Yeah, but Lita is putting words in Becky’s mouth, taking things outta context. Lita says it is a lot of work defending a title. If Becky’s scared, just say so. No, she is many things, but she is NOT scared. If Lita wants that match, she’s got it! Then the match is made! The Man takes on the extreme icon, will Becky regret being so big time?
My Thoughts:
After the Royal Rumble has good action but disappointing results, Raw here did a very good job of turning those lemons into lemonade as WWE turns the corner on the Road to WrestleMania. Lesnar setting out his roadmap was some great stuff. He got on Lashley’s nerve but is in the Elimination Chamber for the first time. Just Lesnar and Lashley could demolish that structure if they wanted to. I like that Rollins was automatically put in more as a point of upsetting Kevin Owens than anything. And we got great qualifier matches to give us the other three entries. Theory beating Kevin of course goes in line with Theory legit being Vince’s new favorite, and it could add to Kevin’s frustrations. Maybe Kevin still faces Damian Priest for the US title.
I really like that they found a way to blend Riddle’s tag team story with his singles story. He gets cheated out of the scooter race, which of course brings up round three of the Academic Challenge, but then Riddle wins huge off Otis to get in the Chamber. Riddle will get another chance to interact with Lesnar in the ring, as well as all these other great stars, he’ll definitely be a highlight of the Chamber match. Just no Floating Bro off the top of a pod, though. Styles VS Rey was great stuff as the main event match of the night, and with Theory in the Chamber, Styles getting in makes sense. Plus, Miz cheating Dom in their match, I’m thinking Miz sets something up with Rey for Mania.
WWE finally did something good for hometown wrestlers with Dawkins winning over Ziggler. Depending on how things go between Alpha Academy and RKBRO, I’m sure the Profits will be set back up for another tag title shot. Veer Mahaan’s still on his way so that’s nice to know. He did mention he has a target in mind now, maybe he’s aiming for the US Championship as his return feud. And we got perhaps one Alexa Bliss segment that was cut into two just for the sake of filling time. I have a feeling she’ll be holding onto that replica Lily as a surrogate, and trying to take it from her could trigger her.
We actually got decent stuff out of the women’s matches tonight. Rhea VS Nikki could’ve still been bigger, but we got a good match for just giving it to us so suddenly. Bianca VS Mella was perhaps one of Mella’s best singles matches in a long time. The stuff with the mask is getting old, though, but there isn’t exactly anything motivating her to give it up. Bianca sweeping the tag champs could lead to her going for tag titles, but I wouldn’t know who to give Bianca as a tag partner. And then Rhonda was of course the last segment of the night, in part. What she said was good teasing of the decision but she seemed bored delivering it. Her getting to throw Becky was probably the part she wanted to do most.
What a great surprise with Lita goading Becky into a title match. That is going to be a lot of fun for Elimination Chamber, and just as Charlotte has a win over Trish Stratus as a feather in her cap, Becky will have one on Lita. Then maybe, just maybe, they use WrestleMania 38 being two nights to set up Rhonda VS one champion, then winner of that VS the other, another Winner Takes All scenario.
My Score: 8.4/10

PLAY BY PLAY
JOHN CENA IS HERE!
The fans already chant “Let’s Go, Cena!” “CENA SUCKS!” before the music even begins! Then they sing along, “JOHN CENA SUCKS~!” as Cena walks out in the custom London merchandise. Cena goes to the ring, “The Last Time Is Now” towel draped over the back of his head like the other times, then he sets the towel on the apron. Cena grabs a mic, the fans continue to duel, and Cena winds up before bringing the mic up. Only for Cody Rhodes to make his entrance! The fans sing along with the song, “WHOA~ OH~!” The pyro goes off, Cody high-fives the fans in the front row and along the ramp, then he heads to the ring.
We get the second “WHOA~ OH~” and pyro before Cody pounds on the steel steps and steps up into the ring. Cody and Cena circle each other a bit before Cody grabs himself a mic. The fans finish singing the song, “YOU’LL FOLLOW ME UNTIL THE END~! I AM MY KINGDOM!” The fans cheer, then change to singing, “CODY! CODY RHODES~!” Cena steps to Cody but Cody tells him, no no no. We listened to Cena talking for two weeks, so allow Cody to do his job for him! Cena will cook Cody, end him, but where does he want to start? There is so much to make fun of when it comes to Cody! For starters, Cody’s lisp.
Cody will give him this one: Stardust! Fans cheer for “STARDUST! STARDUST!” Cody says that must bother Cena, that is who he is wrestling at WrestleMania 41, his final time! What else can Cena go after? Oh, yes! Cody spots it in the crowd and brings up the “arm tattoo on his neck.” The fans again sing for “CODY! CODY RHODES~!” Cody keeps going: He got booed in a company he helped make. But Cena won’t go for that. Maybe Cody is struggling with the idea that Superman is truly dead. The fans duel for “Let’s Go, Cena!” “CENA SUCKS!” Cody says this brings him to his next point: Cena’s words have not matched his actions.
For these last two weeks, Cena has lied to the audience. The fans boo, and Cody says they used to ride together, sing Poncho & Lefty. Cena surely cared about Cody, and he for sure cared about the fans. Don’t even look at Cody, look at the fans and tell them the real reason why. The fans chant, “You Sold Out!” while Cena thinks on his words. Cena says he is not going to reduce himself and punch down to Cody’s level. Cody’s been protected long enough. Cena also won’t “cook” Cody, he’ll just BURY him! Just like Cena has buried everyone else! The fans have been saying for years that Cena buries talent. Cena doesn’t bury talent, he IS talent! Cena BURIES mediocrity!
Cena doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the lisp or his failures. Cody has manipulated his way to the top of this business, and his ego outweighs his ability. All Cody has done is ride the coattails of Cena’s success! Cena has been so great, that the WWE could hand the heartbeat of this business to Cena’s chauffer! That’s right! Cody, your champion, is nothing more than Cena’s chauffer. A slimy pickpocket that thinks just cuz he stole the blueprints, he can run the kingdom! That is WHY Cena did it! Because it disgusts him! Cody sat by Cena’s side for YEARS, and stole every secret he needed to be undeniable, but he is still underwhelming.
Cena tried to drill it into Cody’s egotistical skull. Cody has to be authentic because fans can see through phony. Cody is too polished, too rehearsed, and relies on lazy gimmicks like fans singing his name just to get by! The fans boo, but then also sing, “CODY! CODY RHODES~!” Cena says Cody is just like the Pied Piper! All he’s ever done is find a way to make a catchy tune trick the people into loving mediocrity. Strip away the music and entrance, there is not much to look at but that pinstriped suit. But you could walk Cena out in silence, and you can bet your last dollar that he could body you before your first breath!
Cody Rhodes does not look like John Cena, doesn’t act like him, and doesn’t work like him. But Cody also doesn’t look like himself, act like himself, and work like himself, because he is still afraid to show who he is. So what do we get instead? Cody gives us a generic mix of every superstar he’s ever loved and every TV show he’s ever watched, in some big confused blob, that makes him still look like a 16-year-old kid taking acting lessons, because he is too afraid of public speaking. Cody Rhodes has shown Cena ONE thing, and the one thing is that someone mediocre wearing something meaningful is all it takes to trick the people!
Cena has worked too damn hard to make THAT a symbol of mastery to have it paraded by a paint-by-numbers, sociopathic nepo-baby who is so into himself that he had his wrestling gimmick tattooed for the world to see! It’s not where the tattoo is, it’s what the tattoo IS that exposes Cody for who he is: a common fan like the rest of them. So after WrestleMania, it’ll be great for Cody! He can go to Fanatics, buy the toy belt, call himself the fans’ champion, because the last real champion is taking that belt home forever to expose Cody for who he is: an errand boy that got lucky! Fans are actaully fired up behind Cena!?
Cody tells Cena that he didn’t expect this. But maybe Cena is right. Maybe Cody was chosen. But you know who chose him? The fans did. Can Cena say the same? Or was it some guy in an office who isn’t even here anymore and we can’t even talk about him? Yeah, let’s go ahead and go there. Stirp everything away from Cody, does he know who he is? He’s a wrestler like his father before him, and if anyone is a corporate creation, it is Cena and not Cody! Gosh, everyone is so terrified of Cena on the mic but Cody isn’t not. Cena had more d*ck in his promo than in his jorts! Making fun of Cody for looking like he’s a kid?
Well, Cena’s the one who hangs out with Zac Efron and wishes he was 16 again! And thanks for the softball saying Cena created all of this and he created Cody. Well, Cena created a lot of disenfranchised fans that made it easy for Cody to pack up, go somewhere else, and say, “Hey! Look at me!” Cody tells Cena not to act like he cleaned up his room before he packed up for Hollywood. And while we’re at it…! There are two of them in this ring right now, and what Cody is about to ask might punch a giant hole in Cena’s logic. Between the two of them, which one of them sold out to The Rock? The fans again chant at Cena, “You Sold Out!”
Cody tells Cena that Cena is still Cody’s hero. But Cena is also a POS. Cena smirks while fans repeat that. Cena says just like all the fans’, Cody’s head is full of feces and not facts. Cena has worked 100 times harder than Cody and never once in all of that was he ever protected from the audience, or the superstar, present company included, taking their best shot. Everyone knows that every time Cena steps in the ring, it is a challenge to every superstar to take their strongest swing to see if they are worthy to put Cena down. NO ONE has been worthy! So Cena has just decided to do it himself. That’s why Cena has never left, has always been here.
No matter how high the hill is to climb, no matter what garbage they give him, Cena finds a way to make it great. Cody had to leave because Cody realized that at best, he can’t even wipe Cena’s ass! Cena makes empires for billionaires! All Cody ever did was steal money from their kids. “See you at WrestleMania, champ.” Cena turns to go but Cody wants to remind Cena, that all the time Cody has been here, never once has an audience ever chanted, “You Can’t Wrestle.” Cena hears the fans repeat that and he turns red int he face! Cena storms back into the ring, he and Cody square up, but then Cena smirks again.
Cena tips his hat and then takes a swing! Cody catches him! CROSS RHODES!! Cody smooths out his suit while he stands over Cena. Then he points to the sign while fans sing, “CODY! CODY RHODES~!” Cody holds the belt up before he exits, will Cody do very much the same in just 19 days?
The New Day VS ???
Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods demanded a shot at the WWE World Tag Team Championships, but they were told to earn it. If they’re truly the best tag team in history, will they have absolutely no problem beating a mystery opponent? We find out, after the break.
Raw returns and Adam Pearce walks out. He reminds the new Day that they need to earn their title shot, and so London, please help in welcoming Tyler Bate & Pete Dunne! New Catch Republic is back! The London fans fire up as their Big Strong Boi & Bruiserweight are here, will they be the ones to earn that tag team title shot?
The teams sort out and Bate starts with Woods. The fans chant “Welcome Back!” as Bate and Woods circle. They tie up, and Bate wrenches to a knuckle lock. Bate rolls, then catches Woods with headscissors to bring him to the corner! Bate waves to the fans, tags Dunne, then RANAS Woods away! Dunne runs up to CLOBBER Woods! The fans fire up again and Dunne brings Woods up. Dunne bends the fingers, isolates Woods’ arm, and STOMPS it! Bate tags in, goes up, and he uses Dunne to KNEE-BOARD SENTON! Bate waves to Kofi,. Kofi runs in, but Bate DUMPS him out! Bate builds speed, Dunne CLOBBERS Kofi while Bate FLIES to hit Woods!
The fans fire up for their guys as they high-five, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Woods keeps Dunne from Bate. Dunne reaches out but Woods sends him into ropes. Woods then CHOKES Dunne, but stops at 4. Kofi CHOKES Dunne behind the ref’s back! Woods then runs to DROPKICK Dunne in the back! Cover, TWO! Dunne stays in this, but Woods grins as he soaks up the heat. The fans rally for Dunne as he rises, and Dunne CHOPS! And CHOPS! And forearms! Woods ROCKS Dunne, puts him back on ropes, and he tags Kofi. Woods holds Dunne down for Kofi’s APRON SENTON! The fans rally for NCR but Kofi AX HANDLES Dunne down! Cover, TWO! Kofi keeps Dunne down with an armlock.
Dunne reaches out, even as Kofi adds a chinbar. The fans rally, Dunne fights up, but Kofi CLUBS him! Kofi whips Dunne to the corner, Dunne goes up and over! Then hot tag to Tyler! The fans fire up as Bate rallies on Kofi, then he BLASTS Woods! Bate runs at the corner, Kofi dodges, but Bate catches Kofi! EXPLODER! Bate kips up, the fans fire up, and Bate fireman’s carries! AIRPLANE SPIN! The fans cheer as Bate goes around and around, TEN, then the THROW! The fans fire up while Bate is a bit dizzy. Bate wobbles but he tags Dunne. Bate then runs at Kofi, Dunne meets him, TOP BIN! And the LARIAT GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO! Cover, Woods breaks it!
The fans rally up, Woods dodges Bate to BOOT him! Dunne kicks Woods, then puts him through ropes! Woods swings on Dunne, but Dunne grabs that hand! Dunne SNAPS the fingers! Woods falls, Kofi runs up! S O S! Cover, TWO! Dunne survives and Kofi is furious! The fans rally up, but Kofi brings Dunne up and tags Woods. New Day double whip, but Dunne KICKS Kofi! Dunne mule kicks Woods,. STOMPS Woods’ hands, but Woods ducks! BUZZSAW hits Kofi! Woods BACK SUPLEXES, but Dunne lands out! Tag to Bate! Bate blocks a kick, Bop up, BANG connects! Tag back to Dunne, then Bate runs up.
Woods puts Bate on the apron, but Dunne GAMANGIRIS! Dunne lifts Woods but Woods CLAWS Dunne’s eyes! Kofi YANKS Bate off the apron! Woods RAMS Dunne into buckles! Tag to Kofi, and then DAYBREAK!! Cover, New Day wins!
Winners: The New Day, by pinfall
New Catch Republic’s return was ruined, all because the “best” tag team had to cut corners! Cathy Kelley interviews New Day, congratulating them on the win. They felt deserving of a title opportunity, but do they feel this win cements that? Woods asks if Cathy is slow. They obviously deserve the title match, and they want it now! Kofi says they did what they said they would, and now they demand what they are owed! That is a title match for THE WWE World Tag Team Championships! Well, here come the War Raiders! The fans fire up as Erik & Ivar storm out on stage, belts on their shoulders, and they stare down with The New Day.
Erik & Ivar are always ready, so will they and New Day take this all the way to Las Vegas?
Jey checks on Jimmy.
The Usos are pumped up. Jey knows Jimmy told him earlier, but Jey would just feel better if he was out there with Jimmy tonight. Jimmy knows that, but tonight is different. Jimmy knows the world is doubting Jey. But tonight, Jimmy closes that noise. Gunther’s a big deal, but so is Jey. And so is Jimmy. Ain’t no Ring General, just a man who is beatable. Tonight, Jimmy beats Gunther. At WrestleMania, Jey beats Gunther and becomes World Heavyweight Champion! YEET! They shake it out and then Jey holds on. “I hear you. Just be careful.” Jimmy nods, and Jey heads out. Will #BigJim make good on his word? Or will Gunther get back at him for last week’s slap?
Jimmy Uso VS GUNTHER!
Raw returns as Jimmy is in the ring, and then Gunther makes his entrance. The bell rings and the fans rally as Jimmy stares Gunther down. Gunther grins, then he and Jimmy circle.

The fans fire up as they brawl, and Gunther is retreating! Jey pursues, he throws hands, but Gunther shoves Jey away! Gunther runs away into the crowd and the fans boo. Jey dares Gunther to finish what he started, but Der Ring General is going to make him wait. Will Gunther regret all of this once WrestleMania arrives?

Toni Storm is here!
Milwaukee cheers as The Good Land is now TIMELESS! Toni goes right to the ring, puts her AEW Women’s World Championship belt right down on the mat, and has a mic to say, “Milwaukee, I love you.” The fans cheer that! Toni says please, enough of the banter! “Megan Bayne, get your oiled up, feathered ass out here right now!” No response, so Toni says fine. If Megan is too busy crushing watermelons and eating babies, then listen up! The spotlight drops on Toni as the fans chant her name. Toni says, “Last Wednesday, you were the better woman. I don’t know what happened, it all happened so fast. But before I knew it, I was flat on my back like you’d just bought me a steak dinner.
“I am embarrassed. I am hurt. And I’m ashamed. And the worst part is, you made it look so easy.” Toni rests on the mat beside her belt to say, “I went back to my hotel, and I turned off all the lights. And I laid there, going over the same scene in my head over and over and over again, wondering if this is what’s going to happen to me at Dynasty.” Fans say no, but Toni continues, “And then, when the sun came up, I was covered in sweat. Moreso than usual. But I got up, and I went into the bathroom and I took a piss. And then I stubbed my toe, then I whacked my head on the sink. And when I came to, I looked into the mirror, and I remembered exactly who I am!”
The fans cheer, and Toni rises up to say, “I am Timeless Toni Storm! And at Dynasty, I will be leaving with your tits in my purse!” Toni approaches the ropes for her close up, only to be CLOBBERED by Penelope Ford! The Superbad Girl grins, the fans boo, but Ford fires off hands on Toni! Ford whips, but Toni reverses to GERMAN SUPLEX! Ford ends up in a corner, Toni runs in, SWEET HIP MUSIC! The fans fire up as Toni stomps a mudhole into Ford! But then Megan CLOBBERS Toni! The fans boo as now the Megasus gets the drop on Toni! Megan fireman’s carries, FATE’S DESCENTÂ on the belt!
The fans boo even more as Megan sits Toni up, tells her to “BOW! DOWN!” then throws Toni down again! Megan stands over Toni, and with just EIGHT DAYS left, is there no such thing as “timeless” in AEW?
The Death Riders speak.
Claudio Castagnoli starts with German, and he says that while Dax Harwood will be the first victim of the Death Riders, this Wednesday is when the Swiss Cyborg does something for himself. Claudio calls out Adam Copeland to go 1v1 for what Cope did to him! And if Copeland thinks that was ruthless, Claudio knows he is losing his edge and is just trying to cope with it! Claudio will beat Cope to a pulp, but leave just enough of him alive to limp to Dynasty so he can team up with his “two little groupies,” and fail at another chance of becoming champion here in AEW.
Moxley pats Claudio on the shoulder and says, “There are only three women I fear in this world: My mother, my sister, and my wife. Until I met Marina Shafir. On the day that she just snaps, I know I don’t wanna be the one who pissed her off. Part of me thinks maybe me and you, Swerve, we should just grab some popcorn, sit and watch these ladies tear each other apart. But you talked a really, really big game on Wednesday, and now you gotta back it up. Right now, that’s the job. Poor, sweet Willow.” Marina speaks up and warns Willow in Romanian, then in English she dares Willow to keep smiling once Marina’s ripped out her liver and shoved it down her throat!
Moxley & Claudio look at each other, Moxley with wide eyes and Claudio with a big smile. They head out with Marina, will there be no solving this Problem?
Jay White VS Kevin Knight!
The Switchblade has put his name in the hat for the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, knowing full well Will Ospreay and Hangman Adam Page will be in it, too. But will White be rolling towards the Owen Hart Cup opening round? Or will The Jet take him on quite the flight?

The fans rally as Knight fights up and fires body shots. White CHOPS again! Knight drops to a knee, but he shakes his head. Knight stands, but White CHOPS again! Knight again drops to his knees, the fans fire up, and Knight rises! Knight ducks a chop to CHOP, CHOP, and CHOP! Knight ROCKS White, whips him, but White reverses to CHOP! White runs, but into a DROPKICK! Both men are down and the fans fire back up! White and Knight stir, and Knight roars as he rises up! Knight ROCKS White, counter punches, then fires a flurry! White knees low, whips Knight to the corner, but Knight comes back to CLOBBER White!
Knight LARIATS White, whips him, but White reverses. Knight goes up and over, then scoops to SLAM! The fans fire up and Knight UFO SPLASHES! Cover, TWO! White survives and Knight is a bit surprised, but he fireman’s carries. White fights free to CHOP! White whips, Knight leaps over the lariat, then SUPERKICKS! White ends up in a corner, Knight runs in, but White puts him on the apron! Knight ROCKS White first, then springboards, but into the clinch! URE- NO, Knight arm-drags White into a takedown and cover, TWO!! White escapes and Knight is shocked! White clinches, BLADE- NO, Knight slips around and shoves White to a corner!
Knight runs in, White ELBOWS him, then goes up! UPPER ROOM!! Knight throws White down and gets moving, but White ducks a lariat! COMPLETE SHOT, then the waistlock! Deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up and White drags Knight up. White clinches for the URENAGE! White says time to end it! Clinch and BLADERUNNER!! Cover, White wins!
Winner: Jay White, by pinfall
Knight pushed White in this one, but he still had to Breathe with the Switchblade! White grabs a mic to say, “Let’s hear it for Kevin Knight!” The fans cheer, and White says, “Just like myself, Kevin went through the NJPW Dojo. And although this year, it won’t be yours in the Owen, there’s always next year. Because I’m pretty sure we’re going to see a lot more of Kevin Knight in AEW.” The fans cheer that! White says that was Knight’s cue to leave but guess Milwaukee thought otherwise. White says, “See you around.” They shake hands, and Knight takes off. When and where will The Jet fly back to AEW?
White says the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament will have the best of the best. And just like White does every time, he will show us that he is the MOST elite! Because he needs to win the Owen Hart Cup, because he needs to go on to All In: Texas, because he needs his shot at the AEW World Championship! The fans cheer that, and White says because he is the Last Rock ‘n’ Rolla, the man who singlehandedly sold out Madison Square Garden, King Switch! The Catalyst of Professional Wrestling! This is STILL his era! And at All In, White will show us it is STILL the Switchblade Era! White has issued his mission statement, but will it be mission accomplished by July?
AEW shares a tweet from Athena.
In response Mercedes Mone posting, “Milwaukee, say hello to your C E O,” The Fallen Goddess says, “Maybe I will say hi… TONIGHT!” Could the Forever ROH Women’s Champion be the one to face the TBS Champion tonight? We’ll have to see, after the break!
Mercedes Mone VS Robyn Renegade!
#FourBeltsMone held onto the TBS Championship after getting quite the fight from Billie Starkz. But her AEW Dynasty dance card is still open. Will Mone win herself a night off? Or will this Renegade make Mone work for her money?
The bell rings and Mone circles with Robyn. They tie up, go around, and Mone headlocks. Robyn powers out but Mone runs her over! Milwaukee is tourn, but things speed up. Mone steps on Robyn’s dropdown, then does her dance. Robyn runs up, Mone gets around to waistlock, but Robyn switches. They go to ropes, Mone bucks the O’Conner, but Robyn comes back with a sunset flip! TWO, and Robyn SHOTGUNS Mone down! Robyn does her own version of Mone’s dance, then drags Mone up. Mone stops a kick to KNEE Robyn away! Mone runs in at the corner, but Robyn dodges and KNEES Mone back!
Robyn runs side to side and BOOTS Mone! The fans are still torn as Robyn puts Mone up top. Robyn climbs up, but Mone shoves her down! Mone leaps, CROSSBODY! But Robyn rolls through! Robyn shows some power as she scoops Mone and pops her around, only for Mone to slip out! Mone gut wrenches Robyn to a CIPHER UTAKI! Cover, TWO! Robyn survives and Mone is a bit surprised. Robyn goes to a corner, Mone runs up, and Mone stops the boot to put Robyn in the ropes! Mone jumps up, but Robyn dodges the Stock Drop! Mone grabs at Robyn but Robyn KNEES Mone in the ropes!

Robyn survives again but Mone is right on her! Goery Especial for the MONEY MAKER! And then STATEMENT MAKER! Robyn TAPS, Mone wins!
Winner: Mercedes Mone, by submission
The CEO smiles as she puts this Renegade down and grabs up all her belts. Tony Schiavone joins Mone in the ring and congratulates her on another win. It seems like that the Money Train is running hotter than ever. But he understands she had something she wants to say, so the floor is hers. Mone says that’s right. The fans boo, Mone frowns, and she takes the mic from Schiavone. “I am the greatest TBS Champion of all time! And I came to AEW to win more gold. So I’m officially declaring myself in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! That’s right! I’m planning on winning the Owen Cup.
“And then, the Money Train is gonna make her way to Texas to All In! And then, I’m going to become the AEW Women’s World Champion!” Fans are torn again but Schiavone says that tournament will have a lot of competition, including Billie Starkz, who- Mone stops Schiavone there. She doesn’t wanna hear about that stupid kid! Billie has a lot of heart, but not as much heart as Robyn! Give it up for Robyn! Way more heart than that stupid Billie. Who even trained Billie? They suck! You’re looking at the greatest women’s wrestler of all time! WAIT! Athena really IS here! The fans cheer as THE ROH Women’s World Champion is on AEW!
Athena goes to the ring, and she holds up her spinner belt while looking at Mone’s collection. The fans are all behind Athena and that annoys Mone. Mone puts her belts aside, to take a swing on Athena! Athena dodges and DECKS Mone! The fans cheer, Athena goes to the corner, and Robyn helps Mone up. Mone gets away, O-FACE for Robyn! Well, not the target Athena wanted, but Athena does look at Mone’s TBS Championship. Athena shouts, “This is MY show now!” Will Athena’s Forever Reign be the one to add more gold? Or has she just put herself on Mone’s gold colleting radar?
Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.
Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and it would seem there is unfortunate news. Aminata’s hand is wrapped up, she is unable to compete tonight. Taking her place in tonight’s main event is Billie Starkz. Given all this, how does- Serena Deeb walks in. Deeb smirks and says Aminata must know this was preventable, right? Deeb had the game plan, offered it to Aminata, and Aminata didn’t want to listen. Let’s look at history, Aminata. Every time Aminata listened, she won. Every time she didn’t, not only does she lose, she ends up injured. This is all choices. Everything they do is choices. And unfortunately, Aminata made the wrong choice.
Aminata admits, Deeb is right. Everything is about choices. And Aminata still choose not to listen to Deeb’s trash! Not listening to any of that. Okay, Queen, Deeb respects that. But deep down, Aminata knows Deeb is right. And if Aminata thinks there’s a slight chance that she knows that Deeb is right, well, Aminata will have some weeks at home to rest up. Here’s some reading material. Deeb shoves her playbook into Aminata’s hand, will Aminata do her homework?
“Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith VS Top Flight w/ Leila Grey!
Speaking of learning, The Redwood & Bad Apple want to make The Learning Tree proud, and that means winning some championships to go along with Chris Jericho’s ROH World Title. Will Bill & Keith be one step closer to facing The Hurt Syndicate with tonight? Or will Darius & Dante Martin soar far above the trees to be next in line for gold?
The teams sort out and Bill starts against Darius. The fans rally, but Dante wants in! Darius tags Dante in, and now Keith says he wants in! Bill tags Keith, he and Dante tie up, and they go around. Keith puts Dante on ropes, Dante turns things around, but Dante lets off as the ref counts. The two go again, Keith arm-drags hard and has the armlock. Dante rolls and arm-drags free, then he DROPKICKS Keith down! The fans fire up, Dante A-LIST LARIATS! Tag to Darius, he snap suplexes Keith and tag sin Dante. Slingshot SENTON! The fans cheer, Dante brings Keith up but Keith shoves free!
Darius tags in, Top Flight gets Keith for the LARIAT STO COMBO! Cover, TWO! Darius stands Keith up to CHOP, then UPPERCUT! Darius whips corner to corner, Keith reverses, but Darius goes up and over.

Darius fires body shots and forearms, but Keith ROUNDHOUSES him down again. Keith brings Darius up to whip, but then sends him back the other way for an ELBOW! Bill applauds but he might be the only one. Keith steps on Darius’ face, then has a cocky cover, TWO!
Keith references Jericho but that doesn’t finish it, so Keith clamps on a CAMEL CLUTCH! Darius endures, even as Keith CLAWS his face! The ref reprimands, Keith stops, and Darius fights up. Darius pries at the hold, but Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Bill BODY BLOWS Darius down! The fans are torn as Bill stalks Darius. Bill drags Darius back by a leg but the fans continue to rally for Top Flight. Keith runs in around the way, but Dante SUPERKICKS Keith first! Darius lunges forward, hot tag to Dante! The fans fire up as Dante springboards, but Bill gets under. Dante comes back, but Bill LARIATS him down! Bill grins and soaks up cheers and jeers. Bill runs in at Dante to SPLASH! Then he runs at Darius to SPLASH! Back to Dante for a BOOT! Darius dodges the lariat, but not the BOSS MAN SLAM! The fans are torn as Bill talks trash on Bobby Lashley!
Bill soaks up the cheers and jeers while Keith has Dante in the corner. Bill runs up, but Dante slips free! The SPLASH takes out Keith! Dante HURDLES Bill!?

Bill hoists Dante up, SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM! Cover, Bill & Keith win!
Winners: “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith, by pinfall
If that teamwork and victory doesn’t say they’re ready, that look on Bill’s face sure does. Will the Learning Tree do this to the Hurt Syndicate? Or will Lashley & Shelton just hurt people?
Wait, The Cru slithers in! They have the chain necklaces ready like last week! Leila spots them, but it’s AR FOX that jumps in! Fox stands with Top Flight and The Cru backs off. Action says that’s fine, they’ll let it go this time. But will The Sight to See & The Man of the Hour ground Top Flight one way or another?
Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter.
Lexy Nair is with the Southampton Hayter and welcomes her back. Last time we saw her, she was victorious over Julia Hart, and now she’s in the main event of Collision. How does it feel to be back again? Hayter says it feels great. And if you know Hayter, you know she doesn’t like doing things by half measures. So being in the main event is just another Saturday night for her. But she will say she is very excited to be in the ring with a young whippersnapper like Billie Starkz. It really injects some energy into Hayter, it lights that fire. And Billie has a lot of fire herself, and Hayter likes that. Billie gets knocked down but she gets back up.
And Hayter while respects that about Billie, she doesn’t want Billie to confuse respect for mercy. If Billie steps to Hayter, Hayter will hit back and knock her on her ass. There’s no hesitation, no second chances. So if Hayter were Billie, she’d be smart. Or, find out the hard way. Your choice. Oh, and one more thing. Hayter noticed some girls are already putting in for the Owen Hart Tournament, so Hayter will do that, too. And it is very fitting that she returned at All In last year, because this year, she leaves All In the champion! Hayter is ready, how hard will she hit Billie on this Collision?
Adam Cole is here!
The Undisputed Kingdom follows him out, complete with “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE BAYBAY!” as the Panama City Playboy prepares for his NO TIME LIMIT AEW TNT Championship match at Dynasty. As such, here comes the champion, Daniel Garcia! Daddy Magic has Garcia’s back as he goes to the ring, and the fans cheer for all parties involved. Cole has the mic and wants Garcia to listen. Cole knows tensions are high, but he’ll make this crystal clear: Cole has all the respect in the world for Garcia. The past two matches they’ve had are two of the toughest matches Cole’s had in his AEW career.
When they saw Garcia is the future of AEW, Cole means that in his soul, and the fans sure believe that. That is because Garcia is a fighting champion. When Cole challenged Garcia for the TNT Championship, Cole could not get the job done. But neither did Garcia. And so as a fighting champion, that must make Garcia sick to his stomach. He must not be able to sleep at night knowing he didn’t and couldn’t put Cole away. And unless Garcia is a coward, he’d want to change that. Cole sure wants to change that. Cole doesn’t want things to end in a draw. This needs to end with one man proving that he is better than the other, and dammit, that man is Cole!
Cole knows, Garcia knows, the entire world knows, that Garcia and Cole need to finish this fight. The fans cheer, Garcia nods, and he tells Cole he appreciates the kind words. Garcia agrees with a lot of that. They’ve been in the ring almost two months straight. And as much fun as it has been testing his iron against one of the best, truly, Garcia is getting a little bit frustrated. It is eating Garcia alive that he couldn’t beat Cole. Matt Menard tells Garcia that he is THE TNT Champion. How many chances is Cole gonna get? Garcia doesn’t need to be talked into this. It is Cole’s job to defeat Garcia, and Cole couldn’t do it!
Menard says Garcia doesn’t have to go through with this. Garcia pats Menard on the shoulder and says yeah, he doesn’t have to do this. But he wants to! So then, they will run it back one last time, BAYBAY! Roddy shouts, “DANNYYY~! Hey, listen. I have all the respect in the world for you. And just like Adam said, you are the future. And I’m not just saying this because he’s my best friend, but he is one of the best pro-wrestlers on the planet. And as good as you are, you’re just not there yet, dude.” Menard says, “Not there yet?” Menard and Roddy argue, Kyle joins in, but Garcia tells them all that this is enough!
Enough noise, enough distractions! April 6th, Kyle won’t be out there, Roddy won’t be out there, and Menard won’t be out there. Menard is a bit taken aback, but Garcia says at Dynasty, there will be no one ringside, there will be no time limit, and it will be Cole VS Garcia for the TNT Championship, ONE LAST TIME, and there WILL be a winner, cuz you’re looking right at him! Garcia holds up the title, but will he still own that title when it’s all said and done? Or is Dynasty going to be Undisputed?
Athena & Billie Starkz regroup backstage.
The Fallen Goddess says, “Mercedes~! HAHA~! Is that it?” Billie says yeah, just about. Athena says that is so annoying. But what’s the expression? Poke a bear, it might bite you? Well here’s one better. Mercedes, if you’re gonna be a passive aggressive b*tch, you’re gonna get hit. How did you like the taste of the floor? Was it good for Mercedes? Cuz it was great for Athena. So use this as a learning lesson: Keep Athena’s name, and her Minion’s name, out of your damn mouth. But hey! Mone is in the business of collecting championships? OMG, she’s such an inspiration, Athena is gonna do the same thing.
So how about this? Let’s get to real business, not that Mone knows what that is. Athena declares to her Minions and to the AEW fans around the world. Your Forever ROH Champion, Fallen Goddess, American Joshi, Minion Overlord, and all those other things, is OFFICIALLY ENTERING the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! That’s great, right? And Billie! Billie made this all come together, what a brilliant little schemer she’s becoming. Billie has her match tonight! The main event! Look at her! And against a former AEW Women’s World Champion, Jamie Hayter. Is she ready? Yeah, she’s ready! She’ll make Athena proud!
Athena is sure Billie will find a way to disappoint, but tonight, Athena will be watching very closely. Good luck. Billie gives a salute, and it seems no matter if it’s ROH or AEW, Athena keeps Billie under her thumb. Will the inaugural and former ROH Women’s World TV Champion prove she’s ready for the big time?
Dax Harwood VS Wheeler Yuta!
Rated FTR made the challenge for the AEW World Trios Championships, The Death Riders made the challenge for Rated FTR to survive. And while Claudio wants Cope’s head on Dynamite, this Collision will kick things off! Will Dax the Ax chop down the youngest member of Moxley’s crew? Or will The Decoder already figure Dax out?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. They tie up, break, then go again. They break again, fans chant “YUTA SUCKS!” and Dax smirks. Dax and Yuta circle, tie up, and Dax spins Yuta to wrench an arm. Yuta rolls, switches the wrench and has the wristlock. Dax rolls, spins, and he wrenches to then slip through and headlock fort the takeover! Dax pushes Yuta down to a cover, ONE, but Dax holds onto the headlock. Yuta powers Dax to a corner, the ref counts, and both men let go slowly. Yuta KNEES low! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but Yuta CHOPS! Yuta talks trash, whips corner to corner, but Dax reverses.
Yuta comes back, but Dax scoops him to SLAM him! Yuta UP KICKS, then he scoops to SLAM! Dax UP KICKS, both men get up, and Dax headlocks for a takeover! Yuta headscissors, Dax kips free, and roles reverse as now Yuta headlocks for the takeover. Dax keeps his shoulders up, but Yuta grinds the hold. The fans rally for Dax, he fights up, and Dax powers up and out. Yuta runs Dax over, keeps on moving, then he ducks the boot! Dax scoops, Yuta slips free, and Yuta chicken wings! Dax drops down to trip Yuta up, and Dax steps through, only for Yuta to scramble to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, and Yuta UP KICKS!
Dax snarls as he stomps Yuta down! Dax puts Yuta in a corner to CHOP! Yuta staggers, but he CHOPS in return! Dax CHOPS Yuta off his feet!

Dax builds speed to slide, but Yuta ducks it! Yuta sends Dax into the barriers! The fans boo but Yuta then sends Dax into steel steps! Yuta snarls while Dax clutches his arm. There are fans chanting for Yuta?! Yuta puts Dax’s arm on the steps to STOMP it! Yuta then goes to a corner, pulls the covers off the crossbars, and he drags Dax through!
Yuta stands on Dax’s arm to dig it into the crossbar! The ref reprimands, then counts, but Yuta stops at 4, and he reminds the ref, “I have ’til FIVE!” The fans are torn as Yuta copies Danielson, then he drags Dax up to the very top. SUPER DUPER PLEX! Both men are down and Milwaukee fires up as Collision goes picture in picture.
A standing count starts, but Yuta crawls over to Dax at 4 of 10. Cover, TWO! Yuta is annoyed but he drags Dax into a top wristlock. Yuta stands on the arm, then STOMPS it! Dax scrambles away to the corner, but Yuta goes out to grab the bad arm! Yuta SLAMS the arm into the POST! Dax scrambles away again, but Yuta stalks him. Dax CHOPS Yuta, but Yuta takes the bad arm! Yuta SLAMS the arm off the steps, then he flexes while soaking up cheers and jeers. Dax goes into the ring, Yuta goes up top, and Yuta MISSILE DROPKICKS! Yuta kips up, grins, and then takes a bow. Yuta STOMPS the bad arm again, and Dax goes to another corner.
Yuta storms up to CLUB Dax, then he wraps the bad arm around the ropes! The ref counts, Yuta stops at 4, and then he wrenches Dax into a snapmare. Yuta drops a knee on the elbow! Then Yuta clamps on a cording hold, only for Dax to fight up. Yuta wrenches, but Dax ROCKS him! Dax CHOPS Yuta, then JABS, JABS, JABS, before he DECKS Yuta! Yuta gets up but Dax DECKS him again! Dax LARIATS Yuta up and out, then hurries after him. Dax counter punches Yuta, runs up, but Yuta dodges! Dax runs into the POST! Yuta hurries to THROW Dax over the barriers! The ref reprimands Yuta while Collision returns to single picture.
Yuta returns to the ring, soaks up the heat, then goes back outside. Dax rises, Yuta ROCKS him! Dax CHOPS, Yuta ROCKS, then Dax ROCKS Yuta again and again! Dax DECKS Yuta, then hops up an dover the barrier. Dax reels Yuta in, but Yuta fights the driver! The bad arm also holds Dax back, and then Yuta BACKDROPS free! Yuta hears the ring count, and he puts Dax in at 6 of 10. Yuta storms in, but Dax has his leg! DRAPING DRAGON SCREW! Yuta hobbles, Dax grabs the leg for a DRAGON SCREW! Dax drags Yuta to a corner, and now for some payback! Dax SLAMS Yuta’s leg into the POST! Yuta writhes, but Dax grabs the legs again!

Winner: Wheeler Yuta, by pinfall
Dax can’t believe it, but he just got suckered in! Yuta celebrates like he’s already won the title match, and Claudio is there to pat Yuta on the back. Will the Death Riders keep scoring as Claudio takes on Cope? Or can Rated FTR even things up before Dynasty? Dax argues with the ref, the ref says his decision stands. His count was the count, there’s nothing to it. But then Dax gets in the ref’s face?!? Security rushes in there, but Dax fights them!? They hold Dax down, but Cash YANKS them all off him! But then Dax SHOVES Cash?! Dax realizes what he did and he apologizes. Cash is stunned, but just what is going on with Dax’s emotional state?
Dax offers a hand, Cash slaps it away to get in Dax’s face! Dax says he’s sorry, it was a mistake, but then Cash storms off. Well, guess you can’t spell frustration without F T R. Will they be able to sort this out before arriving in Philadelphia?
Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.
Alicia Atout is with Kip Sabian, Nick Wayne & Mother Shayna, and notes that just like last week, they’re here without any sign of Christian Cage. Just what is going on with The Patriarchy? But before anyone can speak up, The Cru barges in. Lio Rush asks Nick, “What’s up with your boy, Fox, man?” Nick says, “Huh?” Lio repeats himself, what’s up with his boy? Uh, his boy? Fox is far from Nick’s boy. Really? They know they’re history together. Didn’t Fox try to end Nick’s career? So Nick is just gonna chill back here while Fox is out there still breathing? Nick says okay, he gets what they’re up to here. Oh, really? And what’s that?
What The Cru is really doing is asking Nick for help, simply because they can’t get the job done. Oh, is that so? Nick doesn’t blame them for asking him. But Nick’s done with Fox, that is well in the past. Well Nick’s past is creeping up on their present, so for them, that’s an issue. Oh, is that really an issue? Kip has Nick calm down. These “gentlemen” surely didn’t come and interrupt them without a reason, so The Patriarchy should hear them out. AKA, get to the point. Lio says this is all they’re saying. Three of them, two of The Cru. But when the time is right, nobody knows Fox better than Nick Wayne. Just think on it.
The Cru heads out, but will The Patriarchy’s Prodigy take them up on the offer to team up?
Holo.grm VS Blake Christian w/ Lee Johnson!
The futuristic luchador’s undefeated streak continues, even as he joins Komander as a Titan of the Air. But while Hologram & Komander have settled things with La Faccion Ingobernable, this battle is about the Revolution Zero Hour last month. Will the Vanilla Babyface avenge that loss? Or will he just be number 22 on Hologram’s win streak?

Vanilla Babyface was spicy, but Hologram comes out hotter! Will this 22-0 streak show Hologram is ready for a golden opportunity?
Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa & Kris Statlander.
Lexy is now with La Mera Mera & The Galaxy’s Greatest as she says we can officially announce they are also entering the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! Kris says that last year, she was a completely different person in a much different place. But she still had the same goals as she does today. “To every woman in this tournament, and to every woman in the locker room, you can’t stop Stat!” Rosa says, “Unless you face me.” Much respect to Kris, but like Rosa told Toni Storm, Rosa never lost the AEW Women’s World Championship, and she’s yet to wear one since. So believe her when she says this: She will scratch and claw harder than ever to have the Cup above her head.
Kris says, “Unless you face me.” Rosa says okay, mamacita. See you in the Owen. They each wish the other luck, and then head out. Will La Mera Mera & The Galaxy’s Greatest battle to prove who is TRULY the best of the best?
Jamie Hayter VS Billie Starkz!
Hayter was preparing for Aminata, but it would seem Aminata’s loss to Hart has also lost her some time in the ring. But Billie is ready to step up to prove herself worthy of AEW’s bright lights! Will this be the start of Starkz’s legacy? Or will Hayter Hit Hard enough to be the number one seed in the Owen Hart Cup?
The bell rings and Billie circles with Hayter. Milwaukee cheers on Billie and Hayter encourages it. The two then tie up, and Hayter powers Billie to a corner. The ref counts, Hayter lets off with a pat on the shoulder, and Billie frowns. The two reset, tie up again, and Hayter again powers Billie to a corner. The ref counts again, and Hayter lets off with another pat on the shoulder. Billie frowns again, but the fans duel, “Let’s Go, Jamie!” “Billie Starkz!” They tie up, Hayter headlocks, and she grinds Billie down. Billie powers up and out, but Hayter runs Billie over! Things keep moving and Hayter runs Billie over again!
Hayter flexes, the fans are torn, but Billie is right up to stare Hayter down. The fans cheer, but Hayter pie faces Billie! Billie ROCKS Hayter! Billie whips, then follows, and she sunset flips over, TWO! Hayter gets up, Billie BUZZSAWS her down! The fans rally up, Billie whips Hayter but Hayter reverses. Hayter runs up, but into an ELBOW! Hayter comes back, but into a BOOT! Hayter is annoyed, she blocks boots this time but not the rebound ENZIGIRI! Billie goes up, up, but Hayter TOSSES Billie down! Billie writhes, rises, and Hayter is up the corner to MISSILE DROPKICK! Hayter flexes, the fans are torn, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Hayter stalks Billie, stomps her down, then stands on her! Billie endures until Hayter steps off, and then Hayter puts Billie on the ropes. Hayter CHOKES Billie, the ref counts, and Hayter steps off at 4. Hayter “apologizes” before she stalks Billie. Hayter drags Billie up, DDTS her by the ropes, then puts her back on the ropes. Hayter KNEE DROPS on Billie’s back, then KNEE DROPS again! And again! The ref reprimands but Hayter backs off. Hayter fires up the fans, then she goes back to kneel on Billie’s neck! The ref reprimands and counts, that’s not a cover! Hayter backs off, “apologizes” again, then has Billie in a corner.
Hayter smacks Billie off buckles, then runs her corner to corner to smack her off more buckles! Then Hayter goes to a third corner for buckle bumps! Hayter says let’s finish the set, and she runs Billie corner to corner for a buckle bump! Billie falls back, Hayter dusts her hands off, and then brings Billie up. But Billie WRINGS Hayter’s arm! And she SUPERKICKS Hayter down! Hayter staggers up, ducks the heel kick, and she shoves Billie for a SPINEBUSTER! Hayter then turns Billie over, HALF CRAB! Billie endures, reaches out for ropes, but Hayter sits deep on the hold! Billie reaches out, grits her teeth, and Collision returns to single picture.
Hayter tells Billie to just give up, but Billie refuses! The fans rally harder, and Billie powers up! Billie claws and crawls, to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, and Hayter lets go in frustration. Hayter runs, but Billie DUMPS her to the apron! Hayter swings, Billie ducks it to sweep the legs! SUPERKICK and Hayter goes to the floor! Billie builds speed and DIVES! Down goes Hayter at the ramp! Billie rises, the fans fire up, and Billie drags Hayter up and into the ring. Billie hurries up the corner while Hayter is down, SWANTON BOMB! Cover, TWO! Hayter stays in this and Billie is seeing what it is to be a former world champion.
Billie drags Hayter up, reels her in, and suplexes, only for Hayter to slip free! The fans duel while Hayter fireman’s carries, but Billie slips free to throw her down! Hayter gets up, DOUBLE FOREARMS from both women connect! DOUBLE ROUNDHOUSES connect, too! And then Hater SHOTGUNS Billie into a corner! The fans rally up harder while both women are down! Billie drags herself up with the ropes, Hayter rises at center. Hayter powers up, kisses the bicep, but Billie ducks the lariat to suplex! GHOSTBUSTER!! Cover, TWO!! Hayter survives and Billie is shocked! Billie seethes, and she storms up on Hayter!
Billie Electric Chair Lifts Hayter, but Hayter fires hands! Hayter shoves Billie away, fireman’s carries, and USHIGOROSHI! Hayter runs, and SLIDING HAYTERADE!! Cover, TWO!!

Billie winds up, but Hayter gets under! GERMAN SUPLEX!! Cover, TWO!!
The fans are thunderous while Hayter is beside herself. Hayter grits her teeth and vows to end it! Hayter throws off the armbands, drags Billie up to wind up and- NO, Billie ducks the lariat to cravat and KNEE SMASH, then HEEL KICK! Billie fires up, winds up, but Hayter ducks that shot! Billie tries again, but Hayter blocks it to a cording hold! Hayter brings Billie along as she goes to the ropes, SPRINGBOARD HAYTERADE!!! Cover, HAYTER WINS!
Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall
Now that was a Collision! Hayter is back, and she finds a new way to hit hard! Athena walks out on stage, and she waves hi to Hayter. Whether Billie impressed her or disappointed her, Athena now has her eyes on Hayter and everyone else in the Owen Hart Cup. Will the Fallen Goddess learn for herself that Hayter Hits Hard? Or will the Owen Hart Cup join the Athena World Domination Tour soon enough?
My Thoughts:
A very good Collision, talky as usual, but very good build towards Dynasty and the Owen Hart Cup simultaneously. Great opening promo from Toni, because she’s always great at promos, but they did a great job framing Ford’s blindside attack on Toni. And while Toni takes down Ford, Megan of course gets the last say on Toni. Toni is the underdog champion, knows she is, but knows she won’t let that stop her, and surely she comes out on top at Dynasty. Good promo from The Death Riders to hype up Dynamite. Claudio was very clever in using “Edge” and “Cope” in his part, and he will have a great match against Cope, but I would think Cope wins.
Marina had a great part calling out Willow, and that Mixed Tornado Tag will be awesome stuff. Dax VS Yuta was great, too, and real good win for Yuta. Dax losing his cool further waters the seed that is an FTR Heel Turn, but if this keeps up between Dax and Cash, could we end up with FTR VS FTR? That’d be rather wild, but it’d also make sense since FTR at some point said they were drawing closer to the end of their careers. A tag team like them, that has already done so much, having a 1v1 against each other is kinda the last thing to check off their bucket lists.
Great tag match from Bill & Keith VS Top Flight, one of the best Top Flight’s had in a minute since they’ve been going back and forth between AEW and ROH, but I figured Bill & Keith would win. They want their shot at The Hurt Syndicate, this gets them a step closer to that, and Top Flight still has The Cru after them anyway. I’m just not sure The Cru asking Nick Wayne to help out against Top Flight & AR Fox is the kind of story continuity they should be using right about now… Nick’s busy with this story against Christian Cage, he should focus on that. Unless the point is, if Patriarchy falls apart, Nick needs somewhere to go and someone to hand out with. But then The Cru is just three- Gasp! Cru-serweights…!
Great promo segment from Cole, Garcia and their friends, but uh, the announcement came in right as this segment started, so for us at home, it completely undercut how Garcia and Cole were building to making the No Time Limit title match. This is all still the right move, and Garcia telling Menard to stay away from ringside was a wild twist. Cole VS Garcia could be a borderline show stealer given how great their 20 minute draw was last time. And I still think that Cole should win the title, just so he finally has something in AEW aside from the tag title run alongside MJF. As for Garcia, losing the TNT title could be his opportunity to move on to another title, like the International or Continental Championship.
Hologram VS Blake was a rather random match to put on, but whatever, still great stuff. I wonder who finally pins/submits Hologram to end his win streak. It’d have to be someone that fans already have strong feelings for, good or bad. Like, Ospreay could get away being the guy that beats Hologram because it’s Ospreay. At the same time, MJF or Jericho could beat Hologram because not only do they have the power level, but fans love to hate them anyway so they’d love to hate MJF or Jericho as the guy who ended the streak.
And great stuff with the Women’s Owen Hart Cup, but also a build between Mercedes Mone and Athena. Mone of course beat Robyn Renegade, but she of course also had to talk trash on Billie & Athena. Athena finally being on AEW TV is great in itself, and she had a good promo with Billie to touch on the love-hate relationship between Minion Overlord and Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths that we’ve seen the past two years on ROH. Aminata going down with injury is a shame, and her promo with Deeb could’ve been a bit sharper on both ends. But Deeb naturally puts it on Aminata that Aminata needs to either join her or wrestle her, and I’m thinking we get the latter.
Good promo from Rosa and Statlander to not only add them to the Owen Hart Cup but to tease their match-up. Hayter VS Billie was a great main event, and it was another great showing for Billie in the loss. Athena confronting Hayter was also good stuff, and both Owen Hart Cups are looking to be the most star-studded ones yet. But as it stands, I’m thinking Rosa wins to get that world title match she has yet to get, and then we get Mone VS Athena for the TBS Championship, as teased tonight. All In: Texas will basically give both Rosa and Athena homefield advantage, and it’d be pretty wild if both of them won titles then.
My Score: 8.8/10
