It’s the Elimination Chamber Kickoff Show!
Join Jackie Redmon, Matt Camp and Peter Rosenberg in the WWE Command Center as they discuss, analyze and predict all of today’s action on this last stop on the Road to WrestleMania!
Backstage interview with Natalya.
Natty’s been part of just about everything in the WWE, so who does she think wins tonight’s Women’s Elimination Chamber? She’ll answer that soon, but she has a bone to pick with Rhea Ripley. Great little performance in the gauntlet, but calling herself the Ironwoman of the WWE upsets Natty. Natty has THREE Guinness Book of World Records records. But Rhea aside, Natty says Liv Morgan is going to get this. She hasn’t won much of anything, so something’s gotta give, right? Maybe Liv can be as great as Natty one day. Will things come together for Liv to finally have her WrestleMania moment?

The King of Lucha wants to settle the score with the Hollywood A-Lister for all the things said and done in regards to Dominik, as well as the late, great Eddie Guerrero.

Kevin Patrick notes the loss to Rey Mysterio, and Miz stops him by raising a hand. Does Kevin know what that means? “When my hand goes up, your mouth goes shut!” Miz says the “legendary” Rey Mysterio cheated with the help of his son! It was like a 2v1 handicap and everyone was cheering. But Miz will even the odds by finding himself a tag partner. Someone who is a superlative athlete, with similar handsome features to Miz, and a global superstar like him. He has someone in mind already. Now, excuse Miz while he makes a phone call. Who will Miz reach out to in order to get even with the Mysterios?

Finally, his legendary career will be given the one honor yet to be given! A truly special superstar, a mythological character in the flesh, a truly larger than life Phenom!

A true icon that crossed over into the world of entertainment outside of pro-wrestling, perhaps even the greatest of all time. #ThankYouTaker, #YouDeserveIt!
SmackDown Tag Team Championships: The Usos VS The Viking Raiders!
The Tribal Chief retained his title, now it is up to Jimmy & Jey to keep the Bloodline golden. They’ve gotten the better of Erik & Ivar save for last night on SmackDown, but will Jimmy & Jey be the ones standing tall in the end? Or will the raid capture gold in the Superdome?
The Usos attack the Viking Raiders at the ramp! Jimmy whips Erik into the steps, then he and Jey mug Ivar! Jimmy holds Ivar open for Jey’s SUPERKICK! Then the Usos DOUBLE SUPERKICK Erik! “You ain’t gettin’ nothin’ tonight!” The Usos drag Ivar up, to double suplex him onto Erik! The refs get the Usos to stop this and they check on the Viking Raiders. Is that a message that the Usos don’t even consider the Viking Raiders worthy? Or is it a sign that they fear what Erik & Ivar could do if given a fair fight?
WWE World Championship Elimination Chamber: Bobby Lashley VS Brock Lesnar VS Austin Theory VS AJ Styles VS Matt Riddle VS Seth Rollins!
The All Mighty got this title off The Beast with some help from the Tribal Chief, but now he has to defend it all on his own. Brock Lesnar is a tough challenge enough, but will having Vince McMahon’s pet project, the Phenomenal One, the Bro, and the Visionary ensure Lashley loses the title again? Or will Lashley prove just how mighty he truly is?
The champion makes his entrance first, and gets a lot of extra fireworks. Lashley goes to a pod, as does AJ Styles and Matt Riddle. Theory takes selfies as he makes his way out, and with each of his opponents in the pods. Theory is one of the first two start, and then Rollins makes his entrance. Finally, Lesnar makes his entrance. He taunts Lashley, Riddle and Styles before going into his own pod. Theory and Rollins start, the belt is raised, and we see how the Road to WrestleMania takes shape!
Fans sing for Rollins but Theory mocks the dance moves. Theory dusts himself off, ties up with Rollins but Rollins slips past to swagger about. Rollins and Theory circle, tie up, and Theory headlocks. Rollins laughs even as he powers out, and then he hurdles, redirects and SLINGBLADES Theory down! Fans fire up as Rollins swaggers and taunts Styles. Rollins runs in, but Theory dodges and Rollins hits buckles! Theory scoops Rollins for a FALL AWAY SLAM! Theory kips up, gets around, and hits a BIG back suplex! Rollins goes to a corner, Theory hits a corner clothesline! Theory throws Rollins down and slingshot STOMPS him!
DEADLIFT FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, ONE!! Theory says Rollins isn’t laughing now, and he fireman’s carries. Rollins slips off, shoves and SUPERKICKS Theory, then kicks the legs out. BASEMENT SUPERKICK! Theory is right, Rollins isn’t laughing because he’s mad. Rollins throws Theory out to the grate, then RAMS Theory into the chains! And again! And again! Rollins puts Theory’s arm through chains and pulls! ROLLING ELBOW! Theory is stuck but Rollins brings him around to POWERBOMB into a pod! The Plexiglas gives way and Lashley gets hit with it and Theory! Even Rollins is stunned!
The countdown is here, Rollins hurries to the ring to be ready for anyone. The first one out is… RIDDLE! The Bro spins Rollins around, PELE! Riddle kips up, forearm smashes then runs side to side to forearm smash again! BROSPLODER! BROTON! Riddle hurries to BROTON onto Theory! Medical is checking Lashley, Riddle PENALTY KICKS Rollins! Riddle hurries to fireman’s carry, and he stares at Lesnar. Burt Rollins slips out to ram Riddle into buckles. Riddle elbows back, goes up, but Rollins trips him! Rollins stomps Riddle in the Tree of Woe, and now even Adam Pearce is here checking on Lashley.
Rollins goes up, he aims at Riddle, but Riddle SPIDER SUPLEXES Rollins away! Riddle gets up, Rollins hurries after! Rollins brings Riddle back, INVERTED SUPERPLEX!! Cover, TWO!! Riddle survives, and Lashley is being helped out of the Chamber? Is this a sign that we’re getting a new champion no matter what now? Rollins forearm smashes Riddle, snapmares and hurries up top! The countdown is back as Rollins hits a FROG SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Riddle survives, and here comes… AJ STYLES! Styles dodges Rollins, clotheslines Riddle, then gets Rollins for USHIGOROSHI!
Styles dodges Riddle’s haymaker to wheelbarrow FACEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Styles dodges a superkick to torture rack and TOWER HACKER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Rollins survives but fans rally behind Styles. Styles slingshots to forearm Theory down! Styles RAMS Theory into the chains, then goes back to get Riddle. Riddle fires forearms first and he kicks, but Styles blocks! DRAGON SCREW! Styles KICKS Riddle’s leg out, then he stomps Rollins. Lesnar’s just smiling as Styles puts Riddle up top backwards on a corner. Styles climbs, brings Riddle in, but Rollins CLUBS Styles! And again!
Rollins pushes Styles aside, goes up to get Riddle, but Styles CLUBS Rollins. Styles pushes Rollins aside to go up, but Rollins adds on. They work together, but Theory attacks them both! DOUBLE POWERBOMB! Theory grins as he get sup, but Riddle hits him with a FLOATING BRO ATTACK! Cover, TWO! Riddle drags Rollins up to throw him through ropes. Riddle also has Styles, he wants to shout out Randy! DOUBLE DRAPING DDT! Fans fire up as Riddle hears voices in his head, bro! But the countdown is back…!! Riddle spots that, and he waits for the fight he’s always wanted! HERE COMES THE PAIN!
Wait, what? Oh, it was supposed to be Lashley’s turn! Riddle tries an RKO on Theory but Theory denies it! Styles ENZIGURIS Riddole! Rollins ENZIGURIS Styles! Wait, Lesnar is just busting out of his pod!! He clobbers EVERYONE! Fans are thunderous as Lesnar hauls Rollins up to a F5!! Cover, Lesnar ELIMINATES Rollins!! Lesnar gets Riddle up, F5 for Riddle!! Cover, Lesnar ELIMINATES Riddle!! Lesnar SPINEBUSTERS Styles, and if Lashley doesn’t return, these are the final three. Lesnar GERMAN SUPLEXES Styles! Fans chant for “Suplex City!” as Lesnar stalks Styles.
Lesnar drags Styles up, fireman’s carries, F5!! Cover, Lesnar ELIMINATES Styles! The Beast has taken out three men in a row! And all that’s left is Austin Theory! Theory drags himself up a post as Lesnar tosses Styles to the door. And Lesnar keeps Theory from running out the door! Theory wants Lesnar to take it easy, but Lesnar just takes the gloves off, literally. Theory hurries around the outside but Lesnar is the Terminator in pursuit. They go around the ring again, Theory tries to hide in a pod but Lesnar BOOTS his way through! And then SNAP SUPLEXES Theory to the grate! Theory writhes as Lesnar stalks up to him again.
Lesnar drags Theory up, but Theory LOW BLOWS!! The kid’s wise beyond his years, sorta. Theory slingshot somersaults and SHOTGUNS Lesnar down! DDT!! Cover, TWO!! Theory fails to finish Lesnar and now Lesnar is just pissed off! Theory hurries to climb up the chains! Theory finds a gap at the ceiling! Lesnar hurries up and drags Theory back in! Theory begs for mercy as he clings to the frame but Lesnar CLUBS him, then SMACKS him off the Plexiglas! And again! And again! Theory slumps down, Lesnar looks down at the ring. Fans are thunderous as Lesnar hauls Theory up! ULTIMATE F5!!! Theory is sent to the floor!!
Fans lose their minds as Lesnar climbs back down. Theory sputters, Lesnar drags Theory back in. Cover, Lesnar wins!!
Winner: Brock Lesnar, by pinfall (NEW WWE World Champion)
A freak accident takes out the Rocky Mountain Machine, and now the Beast is champion again! WrestleMania now has Champion VS Champion, WINNER TAKES ALL!! Will Lesnar get his revenge on Roman and Heyman for the Royal Rumble screwjob? Or will the Head of the Table only become that much greater when he leaves Dallas with two belts?
My Thoughts:
There was a rather strange aura to this “Premium Live Event.” For one, we didn’t get any warning on a kickoff show match even happening. But out of these matches, I figured it would be Rey VS Miz. I did like that the Mysterios were being sneaky Faces and got the better of the Miz for it all, and then Miz teasing a big name tag partner is clearly setting up a WrestleMania match. I was hoping they’d get John Morrison back but probably not. There were also a lot of technical glitches, like them putting up the men’s chamber graphic when it was going to be the women’s first, and then Lashley’s stage pyro didn’t go off right.
Roman VS Goldberg opening was a bit of a surprise, but also not really since we tend to get matches like that with Goldberg. It lasted about the amount of time I expected, but I wouldn’t say Roman “Goldberg’d” Goldberg. He withstood the spears and got his guillotine, no need for help from the Bloodline. As I said with Raw setting up things, this Women’s Chamber had the wrong order. If Bianca was going to win, don’t make it obvious by making her last to enter. Either Rhea should’ve won the whole gauntlet, or you flip Rhea and Bianca entirely. Bianca enters that gauntlet last, wins it. She enters the chamber last, and wins it.
I do suppose Natty’s promo sets up a crossover match with Rhea, but I dunno. Bianca truly rises back up to where she was last year if she actually has to fight as hard as she can, pushing the limits of her being The EST, and then gets that win. Becky VS Lita was very good, though it did seem Lita had to get back to ring pace those first few minutes. The fans were right that she’s still got it, but Becky wins to of course give us a rematch from SummerSlam. Lita could probably still get a big match for Mania, but despite her promo from Raw, she doesn’t seem to have a championship run in her future.
The women’s tag match was pretty good, but of course the twist was Sonya’s arm was all better. And at the same time, Ronda takes out Sonya’s other arm to get the win for her and Naomi. Sonya’s story with Naomi can still continue in some fashion, and Ronda has momentum going into her match with Charlotte. It’s not clear how much time Ronda is going to spend in the WWE, and maybe WWE has Ronda win so that SmackDown gets some star power. Let’s just hope Ronda is better prepared for how wrestling fans will criticize things here and there. If Ronda can do that and keep a bit of that personality we saw last night on SmackDown, she might actually make it work.
I’m rather disappointed in the Falls Count Anywhere and SmackDown Tag title matches, though. It was obvious Corbin was going to help out, but they barely went that far away from the ring. That inverted Alabama Slam header Moss took was definitely a scary moment, but thankfully he was good to continue. McIntyre of course wins, and of course he’s going to take on Corbin next. The Usos jumping Erik & Ivar was rather logical, but I didn’t think they’d completely nullify the match! I suppose they’re going to move this to WrestleMania now, but a No Contest on a PPV is bull. At least have there be a DQ that uses Champion’s Advantage!
And then there’s the main event men’s chamber for the world title. If Lashley getting taken out of the match like that was shoot, I hope he gets well soon. If not, then what kind of BS way is that to keep Lashley and Lesnar from fighting in the Chamber? Yeah, we get it, Lesnar was going to win and move on to face Roman, but c’mon! Disguise it! Lesnar and Lashley could’ve wreaked all kinds of havoc and could’ve been the last two, Lesnar winning in the end. Have Lashley and Lesnar start the match and then have the other four go after them! Something! Lesnar wrecking all other four on his own is fine, since he’s still The Beast, and kudos to Theory taking that final F5, but it’s like Vince is just giving the bare minimum to get to another round of his favorite match-up.
My Score: 8.2/10

It’s the WrestleMania 41 Night 1 Countdown Show!
Join Michael Cole, Pat McAfee, Wade Barrett & Big E in discussing, analyzing, and predicting all the action set for the first night of WrestleMania’s Las Vegas weekend!
Rey Mysterio speaks.
“This is lucha libre. Born int he streets of Mexico, perfected in the ring. Masked warriors, high flying chaos, pure adrenaline. For nearly a century, lucha libre has redefined wrestling. A cultural force inspiring generations. And now the whole world is watching AAA and WWE. Taking lucha libre higher, faster, farther, together. The future flies here.” WORLDS COLLIDE: WWE, NXT & AAA!
AAA executives and various luchadores join the panel!
Michael Cole is honored to have Rey Mysterio, the LWO, Legado Del Fantasma, Andrade, Rey Fenix, Penta, Stephanie Vaquer and AAA’s El Hijo del Vikingo here, as well as representatives of the AAA lucha libre company, as WWE is now officially making an acquisition deal with Mexico based company, Fillip. So joining us are AAA CEO & GM Dorian Pena, AAA President Marisela Pena, Fillip co-founder, Alberto Fasja Cohen, and WWE’s HHH. To start with Dorian, what does this mean to AAA given they’ve created some of the best talent over the last 30 years? Dorian says it is a huge honor because it is the beginning of a new chapter for wrestling.
For three decades, Dorian’s uncle, Antonio Pena, founder of AAA, as well as Dorian’s late father and the vision of his mother, Marisela, they’ve kept this tradition going for 33 years. To be finally here with all this talent, they feel so very proud. The fans cheer for “LUCHA! LUCHA!” Cole asks now from a business standpoint, what does this mean? Cohen says the opportunity was there, they took it, and it has really been years in the making. This partnership is something he’s wanted for a long time. To have the support of the Orland family, it will be an amazing thing for years to come. Cole is excited because some of the top wrestlers on the planet will finally be seen globally.
Now, to HHH, it was perhaps a decade ago that HHH had the idea of bringing under all these groups under on umbrella. When will we get to witness all this? HHH says he’ll get to that in a second. Before any of that, he just wants to take Ms. Marisela, as well as Dorian and Alberto. He has nothing but respect for what they created, and nothing but respect for lucha libre. Some of the greatest stars have come out of AAA, have been in the WWE, have been seen around the world. The impact of lucha libre, especially the cultural, resonates through generations. It cannot be understated, and WWE looks to further that tradition for the sake of everyone who loves it.
HHH promises that WWE will take that to a new level. There was even an article in the LA Times that spoke to the power and popularity of lucha libre. With that in mind, HHH remembers back to 30 years ago, sitting in his apartment with Brian Pillman Sr. and others, watching the very first Worlds Collide take place. So it is HHH’s honor to announce that 30 years later, live from The Forum in LA, June 7th, Worlds Collide will take place again! The fans love that news! And if you don’t think that is exciting, then look no further to who is at this desk here today. The greatest of all time, Rey Mysterio!
The fans chant “6 1 9! 6 1 9!” and Rey appreciates that. HHH brings up the unbelievable Rey Fenix, the full LWO, as well as Penta, Dragon Lee, Santos Escobar and the Garzas. Then of course one of the most spectacular luchadores of all time, Andrade Almas, and THE NXT Women’s Champion, Stephanie Vaquer. And now, combine that with the current AAA talent like the one and only Vikingo, it is as Rey said in that video. This show is going to be incredible, because starting now, the future flies here!
Jackie Redmond interviews Rey Mysterio.
Jackie is honored to have the #GLOAT, Greatest Luchador of All Time, and she can’t imagine an announcement like this without him. She thanks him for being here, especially after what we saw last nigh ton SmackDown. How is he feeling? He wishes he could say he’s feeling great. Spiritually, he is. But physically, it is unfortunate he suffered an injury at the hands of American Made. He is no longer cleared to compete. So he can’t face El Grande Americano tonight? No, not with the clearance. But he has a substitute! Lucha will still be put on the map tonight, because Rey Mysterio nominates Rey Fenix! The fans fire up as now the Immortal Firebird gets to have his WrestleMania debut!
Jackie congratulates Fenix on this moment, but also asks Rey Mysterio to think back to when he was a young man of 14 starting on his journey. What would 14 year old Rey would say? Rey got choked up hearing this news. Thinking back to skinny little 14 year old Rey Rey, he had so many things in his way, no one believed he could be a wrestler. But when he finally made his way at about 17, there is one man who encouraged him, and that was Konnan. The fans have a mixed reaction to that name, but Rey says Konnan brought Rey to the founder of AAA, and that was 1992. Now it is full circle as WWE and AAA are working as one.
If you’d told Rey that in 1992, that’s crazy, let alone Rey being in the WWE himself. So this is such a great time for lucha libre, for wrestling, and for the fans that make this possible. He can’t even stop there! His first PPV was in 1994, Worlds Collide. So to be part of that again here in 2025 is unbelievable. Jackie thanks Rey for his time, and wishes him well. But then, will Fenix avenge the King of Lucha against the would-be greatest, El Grande Americano?
Backstage interview with the New Day.
Byron Saxton is with Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston ahead of their WWE World Tag Team Championship match with the War Raiders. Byron says he still has respect for The New Day and what they’ve accomplished, but facts are facts. It has been over four YEARS since they’ve held tag team gold, and they’ve never won at WrestleMania. If they lose tonight, what does that do to the stock of New Day? Woods says Byron probably thinks because he’s won his fantasy football league three years running, he can be a head coach in the NFL? NO. This is the greatest tag team to ever exist, TWELVE reigns, and now they’re gonna make it lucky 13!
Woods vows that New Day will win big in Vegas and walk out the champions! Kofi says how dare Byron bring this negativity on their auras. Does Byron know what they do when they come to Vegas for the tag titles? Y’know what happened the last time? Facts are facts, they WON, and celebrated on The Strip! So instead of casting all this negative energy, take that energy and use it to appreciate the greatness that stands before him! Also, take this cheap ass suit, and his cheap ass questions, and like everyone else, drop down before them, raise your hands to the heavens, and THANK GOD for the New Day!
New Day storms off, talking trash more, and Byron thanks God that the interview is over. But will Woods & Kofi end the reign of Erik & Ivar? Or will they run into Ragnarök once more?
An incident has occurred backstage!
Bayley is down! Lyra Valkyria, security, and Adam Pearce all check with her. Bayley says it is her shoulder, and then Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez mockingly ask what happened. Lyra assumes it was them, Pearce asks if it was them, and Liv denies it. They are just now arriving! But guess Bayley won’t be competing tomorrow? That’s fine, they’ll take a forfeit win. No, there WILL be a match tomorrow, so get your minds right. Oh, what? They’ll have a 2v1 now? They’ll take that. Lyra says she can go for that. Pearce says no, she can’t fight this alone. But she has 24 hours to find a new partner. Lyra is stunned, but can the Morrigan turn her fortunes around?
Jelly Roll sings God Bless America.
Every legendary story has heroes… and villains.
HHH says, “These days, it can be hard to tell which is which. You think by now you’d know the whole story. This is just the beginning. All the history, all the legends. This time, right here, it’s the realest it’s ever been ever. Look around. We’re everywhere. Vegas is about to find out how real this s*it can get. You know what I like about legendary stories? Sometimes, they’re true. So tonight, who’s it gonna be? Heroes? Or villains?”
Triple H is in the ring!
The CEO, the Hall of Famer, the Game, is here and the fans cheer him on. HHH has a mic to say, “It is my distinct honor to welcome you to Las Vegas, where for the first time ever, right here, right now, all of you are being seen by the entire globe, live, now! So with that said, WELCOME TO WRESTLEMANIA!” The pyro goes off on the massive WWE Casino stage! But what fireworks will we see in the ring here tonight?
Salvatore Ganacci is here.
He isn’t just a world renowned artist and producer, but he’s repping for both Fatal Fury AND Main Event Jey Uso!
WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Gunther VS Jey Uso!
Der Ring General has certain been the villain of this story, looking down on Main Event Jey Uso, then absolutely brutalizing his brother, Jimmy, in front of Jey and the world. Jey has the people on his side, and even makes his entrance with the Las Vegas Raiders cheerleaders, aka the Raiderettes. Jey wears a brand new vest to show he IS the main event, no matter where he goes, but will he soon be the champion? Or will Gunther be like Thanos and make his victory inevitable?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Jey can YEET Gunther once and for all!
The bell rings and the fans fire up as Jey and Gunther slowly circle. They stare down, the fans fire up more, and then the two circle a bit more. They tie up, are in a deadlock, and they go around. Gunther puts Jey on the ropes, then in the corner. The ref counts, Gunther and Jey clinch, but then Gunther CHOPS! Jey DECKS Gunther! The fans fire up as Gunther bails out! Gunther sees what he’s really dealing with this time, and the fans fire up behind Jey. Gunther slowly steps back inside, circles with Jey again, and the two tie up. Gunther headlocks for the takeover, and he grinds Jey down. Jey endures, keeps his shoulders up, and fights to his feet.
Jey powers up and out, but Gunther runs him over! Jey gets up to run Gunther over! Gunther gets up to CHOP! Jey staggers but ENZIGIRIS! Gunther bails out again, Jey tells him to get back in here. Gunther paces around the outside, then steps back inside. The fans “YEET! YEET! YEET!” as Jey and Gunther reset. They tie up, and Gunther KNEES low! Gunther then UPPERCUTS, and whips Jey to the corner. Gunther runs up but Jey dodges! Jey scoops but falls over under Gunther’s weight! Gunther covers, TWO! Gunther stays focused as he looms over Jey. Gunther puts Jey on the ropes to CLUB him in the chest!
The ref counts, Gunther lets Jey off the ropes to whip him across the way. Jey ducks ‘n’ dodges, scoops and SLAMS! The fans fire up again as Gunther flounders. Jey runs up to GAMANGIRI! Jey then hurries up top, but Gunther CHOPS Jey off the corner! The ring count now starts on Jey and Gunther soaks up the heat. Jey sits up at 5 of 10, drags himself up, and he rolls in at 7. Gunther stomps Jey down, drags him back up, and UPPERCUTS him back down! Gunther paces around Jey, stands him up, and CHOPS! Gunther CHOPS Jey again, and CHOPS again! Gunther whips Jey corner to corner, runs up and CHOPS again!
Jey sputters, Gunther soaks up the heat, and then Gunther whips the other way. Jey comes back to SPEAR! Cover, TWO! Gunther survives but Jey has evened things up! Both men are down and the fans fire up again. Jey throws hands, but Gunther pushes him back. Jey throws hands, but the ref keeps Jey from going after Gunther in the corner. Gunther uses that to CHOP! Gunther drags Jey up, but Jey fireman’s carries! SAMOAN DROP! The fans fire up as Jey goes up top. Gunther CHOPS Jey first! Gunther climbs up after Jey, for a SUPERPLEX! Jey rises up, but Gunther SHOTGUNS him down! Gunther drags Jey up, and POWERBOMBS! High stack, TWO!
Jey survives and Gunther grows frustrated. Gunther looms over Jey, shakes his head, and then drags Jey back up. Gunther talks trash, then SLAPS Jey down! Gunther hauls Jey up again, but Jey RANAS free! Then SPEARS!! Jey hurries up the corner, USO SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!! Gunther survives again and Jey is beside himself! Gunther bails out, Jey crawls to the ropes, and Gunther grabs the belt? Gunther wants to just leave?! The fans boo and Jey protests but the ref keeps him back. Jey builds speed and DIVES but into a BELT SHOT! The ref missed all that as he avoided getting hit! Gunther goes up, GUNTHER SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!?!?
The fans are thunderous as Jey survives, but Gunther rains down HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! SLEEPER!! Jey is caught but the fans rally as hard as they can! Jey crawls, reaches out, but Gunther squeezes as tight as he can! Jey reaches out, Gunther grabs that arm and uses it to turn Jey away! Jey still fights around, reaches out with a foot, but Gunther shifts to a BULLY CHOKE! Jey still has the ROPEBREAK! Gunther lets go in frustration but the fans rally even harder. Gunther tells Jey to give up, because it isn’t happening! Gunther KNEES Jey into the corner again and again, then CHOPS! Gunther paces while the fans boo.

Gunther reels Jey in, but Jey slips right out of the bomb, to POWERBOMB GUNTHER! The fans fire up and Jey aims, to SUPERKICK! Gunther wobbles, drops to his knees, and Jey aims from the corner! Gunther rises, into a SUPERKICK! And a SPEAR!! Jey hurries to climb back up!
The fans are thunderous as Jey aims, USO SPLASH!! But he bounces off the cover, so he just goes right back up! USO SPLASH!! Another roll, and another climb! Vegas is electric as Jey hits a THIRD USO SPLASH!!! Gunther flounders around but Jey keeps his eyes locked on target! Jey drags Gunther into a SLEEPER!!! Jey puts on the body scissors, GUNTHER TAPS!!! JEY WINS!!!
Winner: Jey Uso, by submission (NEW WWE World Heavyweight Champion)
Las Vegas YEETS as hard as they’ve ever YEET’D before! Jey not only avenges Jimmy, he not only dethrones Gunther, but he does it with a submission! And speaking of Jimmy, he is here to celebrate with his brother! This is now the YEET Era, long may Jey reign!
WWE World Tag Team Championships: The War Raiders VS The New Day!
Erik & Ivar took these titles back in the cold of December, but they have been keeping the fires burning ever since. Meanwhile, Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods were so cold to Big E, and have been nothing but radioactive ever since. What will be the fallout of this war between world class tag teams?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and it’s time to see who rocks and who sucks!
The teams sort out and then New Day just attacks! Kofi CLOBBERS Ivar, then he and Woods mug Erik! Erik ROCKS Woods, grabs Kofi, and Woods ROCKS- Well, no, Erik just shrugs that forearm off! Erik then THROWS Kofi at Woods! Tag to Ivar, he and Erik are on the apron, and Erik THROWS Ivar at the New Day! The fans fire up, and Ivar lines up another shot. BASEMENT CROSSBODY against the apron! Ivar puts Woods in, tags Erik, then Ivar climbs. Erik TOSSES Woods for Ivar’s FLYING ELBOW! Cover, TWO! Woods survives being squashed again and again, but Erik waits on Woods. Erik runs up, but Kofi saves Woods!
The fans fire up as Erik builds speed, but Woods UPPERCUTS him! Woods fires hands, then he throws Erik into barriers! Then Woods puts Erik in the ring, tags Kofi, and Woods puts Erik through the ropes. Kofi goes up to DRAPING SENTON onto the apron! Erik flops to the floor but Kofi puts him back in the ring. Kofi covers, TWO! Kofi rains down fists, then he stomps away on Erik. The fans boo the New Day, and Erik fires body shots! Kofi fires back, mule kicks, then FAMOUSERS! Cover, TWO! Kofi is frustrated but he stays between Erik and Ivar. Kofi puts Erik back in the ropes, KNEE LIFTS, then tags Woods.

The Game makes his entrance again, and the fans cheer as he shakes hands with all the legends and friends on stage.
Triple Threat: CM Punk w/ Paul Heyman VS Seth Rollins VS Roman Reigns!
Triple H opened the night mentioning legendary true stories, and this is certainly an epic tale. It was 12 years ago that the Second City Saint and The Wise Man brought in a shield to keep him on top as Best in the World. But after the Hounds of Justice broke free of their leashes, things fell apart. And not just because the Architect betrayed the Big Dog, but because CM Punk left. But now, Punk is back, and if you believe Rollins, things are only getting worse because of him. Heroes, villains, or just men with their own agendas, that’s for history to decide. This battle is not just a grudge match but a match that decides the future of WWE’s identity. Who wins and finishes this story?
Rollins is ready to #SailIntoTheBlack as he wears an all black robe with a wild collar, and then uses a flamethrower! The tron changes to reflect how Rollins is ready to #BurnItDown, but then the lights go out…? Because surprise, Rollins took off the black robe to reveal his shining white suit underneath! The fans sing “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” and they max out the sound level meter! But then Roman Reigns makes his entrance and the singing changes to chants of “O T C! O T C!” The Tribal Chief needs nothing more than to lift his finger and set off the pyro before going to the ring. Overhead, the extra trons show off the many legends of the Anoa’i Dynasty as Roman walks past.
Roman gets his second round of pyro, and that leaves one last entrance. “Don’t let these tattoos fool you, I’m a great man of discipline. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t do drugs. I’m straightedge.” CM Punk repeats the words from one of his very first WWE vignettes. “My addiction is wrestling.” This Fire Burns, “you don’t have the fire inside that I have. I have won championships, I have made friends, and I have made enemies. Tonight is MY night. Tonight is MY main event. Pressure is my playground. My fire has always been burning. My addiction is wrestling.” The fans chant for him, and Punk makes his entrance to Living Color playing Cult of Personality LIVE!
The fans sing along, Jelly Roll and George Kittle rock out, and Punk even joins in to get a selfie video with the band. Punk then kneels down, Heyman by his side, to say, “IT’S CLOBBERIN’ TIME~!” The song wraps up and the fans chant for “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” even harder now as he stands on the corner. Heyman is technically in Punk’s corner, but he stands about halfway between Punk and Roman, communicating his conflicted feelings about this situation. Roman also finds himself in an awkward situation, because who is he supposed to hand the ula fala to? He simply sets it in the corner, as he is not happy with Heyman.
The bell rings and the fans fire up already! Rollins smirks, Punk grins, but Roman frowns as they all stare down. Rollins suggests he and Roman could work together for a minute, but Roman shakes his head no. Punk says y’know what, they should settle this. Punk goes outside to talk with Heyman for some “advice,” but Punk is already playing mind games. Rollins tells Roman that Punk doesn’t deserve to be here, he shouldn’t be here, so they can get rid of him together. Roman UPPERCUTS Rollins down! Roman bumps Rollins off buckles, then off more buckles! Roman climbs up, rains down fists, and the fans count along.
Punk jumps in and CLUBS Roman at eight of ten. Punk then CHOPS Rollins! Punk CHOPS Rollins again, then goes back for Roman. Punk KICKS Roman, but Roman ROCKS Punk! Punk ROCKS Roman, ROCKS him again, then whips. Roman LEAPING LARIATS Punk down! Then he LEAPING LARIATS Rollins down! Roman LARIATS Punk up and out of the ring! The fans fire up as Roman sees Rollins is on the apron. Roman goes outside, runs in around the way, and hits a classic DRIVE-BY DROPKICK! Roman snarls, and he SMACKS Punk off the apron! And SMACKS him again! Roman asks Heyman, “Is this your guy?!”
Roman whips Punk but Punk reverses to POST Roman! The fans fire up and Rollins DIVES! Direct hit and Roman hits barriers! Rollins then RAMS Roman into more barriers! And then into the steel steps! The steps go tumbling away and the fans sing for Rollins. But then Rollins looks across the way to see Punk. They both run up, and they brawl! The fans fire up and Punk THROWS Rollins into barriers! Rollins still drags Punk down, they scrap, and Rollins kicks Punk away. Punk comes back, the brawl continues, and Punk LARIATS Rollins into the crowd! The fans fire up as Punk hops up onto the barriers, to AX HANDLE Rollins down!
Punk grabs a chair and JAMS Rollins with it! And SMACKS him with it! That memorabilia just got even more valuable! Rollins uses a stanchion to JAM Punk up! And then Rollins uses the trash can to SMACK Punk! Punk falls, the fans rally and duel, and Rollins SMACKS the can on Punk’s back! And then on the back of Punk’s head! Rollins sits Punk up, tells him he’s done, but Punk kicks low! Punk reels Rollins in and snap suplexes Rollins onto the trash can! Rollins writhes but Punk brings him back up. Punk fires hands, Rollins fires back, and they brawl further along the way. Rollins shoves a trash can into Punk, but Punk CHUCKS it at Rollins’ head!
Punk brings Rollins back towards ringside and the brawling continues. But Roman finds them, and he FLIES into the crowd! The fans lose their minds as Roman wipes Punk and Rollins out! Roman rains down fists, then he TOSSES Punk onto the Hydration Station! Roman drags Rollins up to TOSS him onto Punk! Both men flop to the floor, and now fans want tables! Roman looks at the special edition announce desks and says let’s do it! He clears off the Spanish announce desk, drags Rollins up, and he SMACKS Rollins off the steel steps!

Punk climbs up again, he wants to go double or nothing here in Vegas! But Rollins goes right up after him! The fans fire up, Punk fights the suplex, and Roman gets under Rollins! Electric Chair Lift, but Rollins fires hands! Punk stands, DOOMSDAY DEVICE!! The fans fire up, and then Roman SUPERMAN PUNCHES Punk! Cover, TWO! Punk survives and Roman is stunned! “This is Awesome!” and Roman rises up again.
Roman fires up, the fans are with him, and Roman lets out a true “OOOAH~!” Roman runs up, but Punk KICKS the Spear! Then he fireman’s carries, but Roman fights with elbows! Roman ROCKS Punk, but Punk ROCKS Roman! They go back and forth, haymaker for haymaker, but then Punk gets the edge! Punk fires a flurry, then he clinches, ROCK BOTTOM!? Cover, TWO!! Heyman is conflicted as Punk now has the ANACONDA VICE!! Roman endures, flails, pries at the hold, but Punk pulls back! Rollins is up top! FROG SPLASH onto it all!! Cover on Roman, TWO!!

Rollins stomps Punk, stomps Roman, repeat! Rollins rains down furious fists on Punk, then he drags Punk up to BUCKLE BOMB! Punk flops down and Rollins stomps away on Roman! Rollins drags Roman up, reels him in, and lifts for a BUCKLE BOMB! Roman flops down and the fans fire up! Rollins hears the singing, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” and then he glares at Punk and Roman. Rollins stands over Roman, but he goes after Punk! Rollins underhooks, but Punk fireman’s carries! Roman SPEARS Punk down! Rollins drags Roman up to underhook, but Roman BACKDROPS free! Rollins lands out!
Roman dodges Rollins, SPEAR into a PEDIGREE!! Rollins hurries to CURB STOMP!! Rollins kicks Punk out of the ring, covers Roman, TWO!?!? Perhaps Rollins wasted time keeping Punk out of this because he had Roman dead to rights! The fans rally up again as Rollins drags Roman to a drop zone. Rollins goes up the corner, says a quick prayer, PHOENIX- NO, Roman rolls out of the way! Rollins rolls through, Punk fireman’s carries! Rollins slips free, Roman runs up, but Punk slips away, SPEAR on Rollins!! Punk drags Roman up to fireman’s carry! GO TO SLEEP!! Cover, TWO?!?! Roman survives and Heyman isn’t sure what he’s feeling!
Punk seethes and thinks on what more it’ll take. The fans duel, Punk goes outside, and Punk fetches Roman back into the ring. Punk brings Roman up, says night-night, and he fireman’s carries again. But Roman flails and fires elbows! Rollins is back, he kicks Punk to PEDIGREE!! Cover, TWO!! Punk survives now and Rollins is stunned! Heyman checks on Punk as Punk goes to the apron. Rollins goes to Roman and says Roman never knows. That is why Rollins is here! Without Heyman, Punk, Rollins, Moxley, the Bloodline, Roman knows nothing! But Rollins still insists that Punk doesn’t belong. It should be Roman and Rollins. Punk is the outsider!
Rollins wants Roman to help him finish Punk! Rollins goes out and BOOTS Punk down! Rollins clears off English commentary, and he wants to do this like old times! Roman walks over, but he seems unsure about this. Rollins CLUBS away on Punk, and he tells Roman that this is the key! Roman still isn’t sure, but then he shouts, “PICK HIM UP!” Rollins lifts Punk up, Roman shouts at Heyman that he told Heyman this would happen! Rollins waits on Roman, but then Roman DECKS Rollins! And he lifts Punk to POWERBOMB him through the desk! It actually falls apart! The fans are going nuts while Roman paces around Rollins.
Roman drags Rollins up, POWERBOMB through the Spanish desk!! Roman drags Rollins up and into the ring, builds speed, and he SPEARS Rollins!!! Cover, TWO?!?!?! HOW?!?!

Heyman leaves the steel steps to go to the timekeeper’s area, and he grabs a chair…?! But then… Who is he going to bring it to? Roman and Punk are nearby, so who is Heyman truly loyal to? Roman and Punk both look Heyman in the eye, and they both call for the chair! Heyman looks to Roman, and shakes his head. He slides it to Punk!!

Heyman says that is his Tribal Chief! He had to! Heyman presents the chair to Roman, and Roman stands up so he may take it. Heyman acknowledges Roman Reigns, and Roman SMACKS away on Punk! The fans are torn again, but Heyman reminds Roman that Rollins is still here! Look! The perfect parallel! Do it, My Tribal Chief! Roman nods, and he has Heyman step aside.

The fans sing “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” Rollins aims at Roman as Heyman watches from the corner. Rollins winds up, and SMACK to the back!! Then CURB STOMP!!! Cover, ROLLINS WINS!!!
Winner: Seth Rollins, by pinfall
The more things change, the more they stay the same! Rollins said Heyman was a snake, but it seems Rollins is very much the same! Rollins sits cross-legged a la Punk, and Heyman says he ACKNOWLEDGES his Chief Visionary! Rollins and Heyman leave both Roman and Punk behind, will they both #BurnItDown until all that’s left is Rollins’ vision for the WWE? As for Roman and Punk, what do either man do now that they have been abandoned by The Wise Man?
My Thoughts:
An incredible WrestleMania Night 1, and just a great night in a vacuum. But a three hour preshow with not even one match? That’s a waste in my opinion. I do appreciate the story beat of Bayley being taken out and Lyra needing a new partner, even if it seems like a headscratcher in the moment. Best bet is perhaps Lyra’s new partner is for a big return, i.e. Becky Lynch. Becky joining Lyra could change the math so that the Faces win the titles to then go to NXT. It adds more elements of drama and intrigue given it is Tatum Paxley & Gigi Dolin lying in wait. Tatum likes Lyra, but Lyra looks up to Becky, Tatum could get jealous and be very aggressive towards Becky.
Jey VS Gunther opening the main card may disappoint some people because of how Jey is the Royal Rumble winner and this was a world title match, but it was still an awesome match. Jey also got to clap back at the haters/doubters, because while he did use all his signatures, he also showed the grit to hang with Gunther, and then wins with a submission. I think that was Jey’s first submission win ever, and that is a great way to really stick it to Gunther, who also prides himself on his own grit. Either way, the story was going the way of Jey winning because of how Gunther looked down on him and then brutalized Jey’s brother. This is great for Jey, and I can’t wait to see what’s next.
New Day VS War Raiders was great stuff, and what a clever cheat for New Day to win. New Day are already obnoxious as Heels right now, they’re gonna be insufferable now that they’re champs again. Jade VS Naomi was great, especially with the total remake of Naomi’s character. I honestly didn’t realize that was a paper banner until Naomi tore through it, it looked almost like a screen. Naomi and Jade brought out some new stuff, and Jade got a great win here. From here, I suspect Jade moves up to a title shot, but I also feel like Naomi won’t let this grudge go without some bigger, crazier match.
Great stuff with LA Knight VS Jacob Fatu, though I really am surprised Solo stayed out of this. At the same time, it was pretty clear Jacob was going to win, so maybe Solo felt he didn’t need to interfere. Great win for Jacob, can’t wait to see where the story with Jacob and Solo goes from here. Rey Mysterio unable to compete was a bummer for him, but Rey Fenix and El Grande Americano gave us an awesome match on short notice. El Grande’s vignette was hilarious because the narrator clearly spoke over Chad Gable to be the voice of El Grande. And the sepia tone mariachi entrance was also a riot, loved it.
Grande cheating to win was fine, he is the Heel after all. And given Fenix’s moveset, the loaded mask was the perfect counter. Here’s hoping that Rey Mysterio is healthy enough to face Grande for Backlash. Also, what awesome news about the acquisition of AAA for WWE to make big collaborations from here on, starting with the Worlds Collide special. Not sure why it’s in the afternoon but I can’t be sure what’s going on in June that they’d need to do that. Either way, it’ll be great to see El Hijo del Vikingo have a match with some WWE stars. Let’s just hope Vikingo stays healthy, it’s well known that he’s been injured a few times the past 12 months because he goes too hard, too fast.
For how rough the build was in the middle, aka that worked shoot promo, Tiffany VS Charlotte was great stuff in the ring. They visually did the “anything you can do, I can do better” by having very similar ring gear, and it all contrasted well with how gritty they got at parts. I think Tiff even legit chipped a tooth… But in the end, Tiff winning is the right call. Tiff is the young up-and-comer, she’s proven she can hang in the ring, and more or less can hang on the mic, and the fans still love Tiffy Time. Charlotte can work to try again, or move on to a different title like the Intercontinental or even Women’s World Championship, because nothing’s keeping her from moving to Raw.
And then an awesome main event. Great entrances for all three men, and we got great action as well as great use of continuity between these three men. Heyman of course plays a part in this, and while I saw Heyman joining Rollins as a possibility, I did not think they’d go through with that. But what a powerful image for Heyman to betray Roman like that and stand with Rollins. Rollins and Heyman as a duo is going to be must-see stuff, and I’m pretty sure their next step is to go for a top title. I am glad that this mostly ends with Roman having no Wise Man, because I’ve been wanting to see Roman try to find his own way on his own since this thing with Roman, Heyman and Punk started.
My Score: 9.4/10
