PLAY BY PLAY
Brock Lesnar is here!
And he is once again WWE World Heavyweight Champion! The University of South Carolina fires up for The Beast as he goes to the ring with belt, cowboy hat and even a sweater. He gets up on the announce desk to hold up the title as the fans all cheer. Lesnar gets the mic as he gets in the ring and fans chant, “Suplex City!” Lesnar says it’s getting hot in here! He takes off the sweater and puts it aside to say, “Now where were ya?” “Suplex City!” Lesnar thanks them for that, and says your NEW WWE Heavyweight Champion of the World is here in South Carolina. But then, “Ladies and gentlemen! My name is-”
Lesnar cuts Paul off. That’s as far as he’ll let Heyman go. Heyman stays on stage and fans chant, “You Suck!” at him. Lesnar even joins in! Heyman says the Special Counsel for the Tribal Chief does not suck. But speaking of, Heyman must say that he is the Special Counsel for the only real Heavyweight Champion in WWE: the Tribal Chief, the Head of the Table, Roman… Reigns. Now, Heyman came here not to be disrespectful but out of love for their 20 years of business and friendship. Heyman knows Lesnar is so “myopic” thinking of WrestleMania’s Winner Takes All title match. Except, there is a roadblock in the way, farm boy! Lesnar might not even make it to Mania as a champion.
For 20 years, Heyman took care of the small details. Such as… Lesnar has to defend that title on Saturday, March 5th in Madison Square Garden! That means, Mr. Lesnar, “you ain’t gonna make it to WrestleMania as the champion!” So thank you very much. If there is anything else Heyman can help Lesnar with, feel free to let him know. Lesnar tells Heyman, “I can still appreciate you Paul, even though you’re… such a dick.” Heyman wants Lesnar to stop but Lesnar “thanks” Heyman for telling him where he’ll be when he already knows all that.
Then does he knows that it is against Bobby Lashley? Or that Lashley might not even pass concussion protocol? Or that if Lashley doesn’t pass, Heyman will make sure that match is a match worthy of MSG? So BRRROCK, see you at the Garden! Well news flash, Heyman, Lesnar is doing just fine without Heyman. Lesnar also thanks Heyman for telling him where to be. But Lesnar will tell Heyman where he’ll be Friday night. See, Friday, Heyman will be in Hershey, Pennsylvania next to the lil’ Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, demanding acknowledgement. Then guess where Lesnar will be that night! Saskatchewan?
NOPE! This Friday, Lesnar is coming to SmackDown to “introduce” Heyman and Roman to the NEW REIGNING! DEFENDING! WWE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD~! BRRROCK! LESNARRR! The Beast has made his plans know, what will the Special Counsel plan to counter this move?
Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens talk backstage.
If only Kevin was there on Saturday. Rollins was fighting in the chamber, he threw Theory through the thing, and- Kevin Patrick appears. KO and Seth both seethe as they look over at him. What does he want? Given that we’re just six weeks from WrestleMania, and these two are main event superstars, their path to the Grandest Stage doesn’t seem clear at all. Does Kevin not get it? They have a path! You’re looking at the best tag team on Raw! Do you not remember how they beat RKBRO a couple weeks ago? And then last week, Seth Freakin’ Rollins beat Randy Orton 1v1.
Yes, and that is why Seth & KO went to management. When they win the tag main event tonight, they will be added to the Raw Tag Team Championships match in two weeks! And then, when they win that, they will be Raw Tag Team Champions! And then, the possibilities for Mania are endless! They can challenge the Usos for Champions VS Champions! Title for title for title! How’s that for a path, Patrick!? Seth laughs, KO says that is the whole thing. WrestleMania will be stupendous, because of them! That path is so good, right? KO and his best friend, it is so good, it is bearable now that Mania is in the hellhole called Dallas, Texas.
Will the Architect and Prizefighter have the perfect plan to get into the title picture?
The Street Profits VS The Alpha Academy!
After the big news from Rollins & Owens, there is a lot more riding on this match than before! Can Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins convince management to add them to things with a win here? Or will Chad Gable & Otis be able to preserve the title scene on their end?
Raw returns as the Raw Tag Team Champions make their entrance. The teams sort out, Dawkins starts with Gable and the two circle. They tie up, Dawkins headlocks but Gable powers out.

They keep going., Dawkins leaps over and then arm-drags Gable for an armlock! Fans fire up, Dawkins brings Gable over and tags in Ford. The Profits whip and dropkick Gable down! Cover, TWO! Ford clamps onto the armlock and grinds the elbow. Gable gets up, Ford wrenches but Gable throat chops!

Otis whips, Ford goes up and over in the corner, but Otis CLOBBERS him with a left lariat! Tag to Gable, and Gable gushes about Otis while Otis says he hates South Carolina.

Winners: The Alpha Academy, by pinfall
Gable’s a hypocrite! Never cheated? Then what was that?! But that means the Raw Tag Team Champions stay spotless, will they only have to worry about RKBRO in their title match?
Backstage interview with Tommaso Ciampa.
The Psycho Killer is an NXT Superstar, but does he feel pressure in tonight’s tag match here on Raw? This all started because Dolph Ziggler showed up on Ciampa’s home of NXT and started something. Ciampa doesn’t feel pressure. He’ll gladly take on Ziggler any night of the week. Roode is a bonus. But this is a tag match, and Ciampa knew just the guy to call. In steps FINN BALOR! Balor says Raw is his home, but he will never forget where he came from. And he will never forget stepping in the ring with Tommaso Ciampa. They may have stood toe to toe in the past, but tonight, they’ll start their road to WrestleMania shoulder to shoulder.
The Prince is helping the Pulse of NXT, will they both wipe the floor with those Dirty Dawgs?
Tommaso Ciampa & Finn Balor VS The Dirty Dawgs!
Raw returns and Ciampa makes his entrance. Then the Show-Off & GLORIOUS One make their way out. The teams sort out and Roode starts against Ciampa, but Ziggler does taunt Ciampa. Ciampa and Roode circle, Ziggler is squirrely, so Ciampa swipes at him. Roode kicks Ciampa low, headlocks, but Ciampa powers out. Roode runs Ciampa over but things speed up and Ciampa CLOBBERS Roode! Ciampa dares Ziggler to do something, but brings Roode up to headlock and takeover. Ciampa grinds Roode while eying Ziggler and then he traps an arm. Roode fights up, powers Ciampa back and Ziggler tags in.
The Dawgs mug Ciampa, Ziggler taunts “the kid” and rakes Ciampa’s eyes. Ziggler also taunts Balor, then pie faces Ciampa. “All night long!” But Ciampa ROCKS and CHOPS Ziggler! And again! Ciampa whips corner to corner, Ziggler reverses but Ciampa slides and comes back to CLOBBER Ziggler! Fans cheer and Ciampa covers, TWO! Ciampa wrenches Ziggler, whips him but Ziggler reverses. Balor tags in, Ciampa fakes Ziggler out and KNEES him off the apron! Roode goes after Ciampa but Balor DECKS Roode! The Prince has Ciampa’s back, and Ciampa helps Balor FLY! Direct hit on the Dawgs and fans fire up as Raw goes to break!
Raw returns again and Roode has Ciampa in a facelock. Tag to Ziggler and the Dawgs mug Ciampa again. Ziggler is moving around, taunting Ciampa. Ziggler then kicks Ciampa down, but Ciampa grins as he gets back up. Ziggler rope a dopes, but Ciampa blocks, ROCKS and CHOPS! But Ziggler kicks out the bad leg! Ziggler tags Roode back in, the Dawgs mug Ciampa some more, and then Roode digs his boot into Ciampa’s head. Roode taunts Balor, tags in Ziggler, and Roode chokes Ciampa on ropes!

Ciampa & Balor win!
Winners: Finn Balor & Tommaso Ciampa, by pinfall
It was their first time teaming up and it is a success! Ziggler is furious, but will he be able to do anything about this tomorrow on NXT? Or will the Show-Off not survive the Black Heart of NXT?
The Miz heads to the ring!
After losing to Rey Mysterio on Saturday, the Hollywood A-Lister promised he’s going to call in an equally famous and handsome global star to help him. He looks to reveal who that is, on an all-new Miz TV! That’s coming up, after the break.
Raw returns and Miz welcomes us back to the most must-see WWE talk show, and before getting to his special guest, he wants to give us the realization he had at Elimination Chamber. Most wont’ ever know what it’s like to fly across the world in a private jet like he has. Or even to leave your small podunk hometown. ANd if he’s really being honest, most don’t even know what it’s like to leave the couch. They all want the success, the family, the wife and the life he has. But for us, it feels unobtainable because it is. So we turn to someone we can relate to, like Rey Mysterio!
Despite the physical differences, Miz and Rey aren’t that different. They both do whatever it takes to get ahead. Yet, because we see ourselves in Rey, we look past all the misconduct, including using his son to cheat and win! That is because we need Rey to succeed. We yearn for his success because it makes us feel better. Rey is everything we despise in Miz! We just choose not to see it! So therefore, Miz realized that we are the ones that cannot be trusted. And Miz has found a new tag team partner going into WrestleMania. Someone he can relate to! Someone he can trust! Someone from a fighting family, a pioneer, and very dashing.
Someone who is an athlete and celebrity! Someone- Interrupted by Rey! Rey tells Miz that to get one thing straight, they’re NOT the same. Rey doesn’t know anyone who would partner with Miz. Rey knows for a fact that the locker room can’t stand Miz! So whoever it is Miz brought, whoever this outsider is, that guy can go right back to where he came from and give his WrestleMania moment to someone who deserves it. Deserves it? Miz says he knows what’s best for the industry. Not Rey, not Dom, and certainly not the fans. See, at Elimination Chamber, it was supposed to be 1v1 but it felt like a handicap match.
Did Miz deserve to lose that match? Fans say, “YES!” Did Rey deserve to win that match? “YES!” Well then, does Dom deserve a WWE contract? Or did Daddy get him one? Dom says Rey brought him in, put him in the front row since he was seven years old. Dom watched the WWE night after night, complete with blood, sweat and tears. Dom knew what it took to become a WWE superstar. Rey brought Dom here, but Dom will do whatever it takes to stay. This is Dom’s blood! This is Dom’s family! This is Dom’s life! This is everything Dom knows. So if Miz says one more thing about Rey, Dom swears to God he’ll show-
Show what? Another outnumbering? Another handicap? No! Miz and his new partner VS the Mysterios at Mania! Now allow Miz to introduce his special guest. Ladies and gentlemen, get up out of your seats for social media megastar, LOGAN PAUL! Fans boo as Logan Paul chugs his protein drink and then goes to the ring. “Oh man, oh man! No disrespect, Rey Mysterio, you’re a WWE legend and all, but uh, I’ve got pool toys bigger than you, bucko.” Dom says if this jackass is Miz’s partner, then they accept! Miz CLOBBERS Dom, Logan Paul gets Rey! Miz stomps Dom while Logan Paul dribbles Rey!
Miz & Logan Paul are fired up but fans boo. Miz & Logan Paul then POST Rey together! And then they go get Dom, to POST him, too! But they’re still not done! Logan Paul brings Rey out, feeds him to Miz, SKULL CRUSHING FINALE! Logan Paul wants to try something, so Miz gets Dom up and feeds him to a LOGAN PAUL FINALE! Will the biggest, most arrogant pair of jerks actually have a WrestleMania moment together?
Backstage interview with The Alpha Academy.
Kevin Patrick notes their impressive win, but how are they feeling with tonight’s main event impacting- SHOOSH! Gable knows about all that. He has a Master’s Degree and 4.0 GPA. And not from some worthless institution like the University of South Carolina. What’s their mascot again? A gamecock? A chicken!? Bawk bawk. Disgusting. Just like tonight’s main event. At least RKBRO earned a title opportunity. But Seth & KO just complain and they get this? Disgusting!
And not only that, the odds go down from 50% to 33.33 repeating! Otis hates math! But Otis loves winning. So regardless of how many opponents there are, the Academy will win. Will the numbers spell disaster for Gable & Otis after tonight?
Veer Mahaan is still on his way.
“You question because you do not understand. You do not understand because you do not believe. That is why your kingdom is empty. And soon, your kingdom will become mine.”
Rhea Ripley VS Nikki A.S.H!
The Nightmare and the Almost Super “Hero” go another round in their break-up rivalry! Will Rhea finally get past the past? Or will Nikki never leave her alone for “holding her back?”
Raw returns and Nikki makes her entrance. The bell rings and Nikki starts shouting about Rhea ruined things for her in the Chamber. Nikki SLAPS Rhea, and shouts, “I am a superhero!” Rhea HEADBUTTS Nikki down! Then she TOSSES Nikki to a corner! Rhea runs in and RAMS Nikki with a shoulder, then digs her shoulder in. The ref counts, Rhea lets off and throws body shots. Rhea says lets’ see the superhero fly! She TOSSES Nikki back the other way! Rhea runs in, but Nikki moves. Rhea stops herself, elbows Nikki, then brings her in to suplex. Rhea holds Nikki up for a count of 10 before the SLAM!
Nikki bails out but Rhea just shrugs and shakes her head. Nikki complains to commentary that Rhea’s the villain, but Rhea goes out and SMACKS Nikki off the desk! Rhea says, “I’m the villain apparently.” Rhea puts Nikki in, gets in, but Nikki clubs away on Rhea’s back! Nikki is snarling and seething, then runs into a SUPERKICK! Rhea pump handles, RIPTIDE!! Cover, Rhea wins!
Winner: Rhea Ripley, by pinfall
Rhea stands tall again, is she finally moving on on the Road to WrestleMania?
The Undertaker is entering the WWE Hall of Fame!
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 30 year career, transformation and reinvention again and again, a WrestleMania streak that’ll never be replicated, and the respect of everyone, both wrestlers and fans. A true icon that crossed over into the world of entertainment outside of pro-wrestling, perhaps even the greatest of all time. #ThankYouTaker, #YouDeserveIt!
Damian Priest VS Shelton Benjamin w/ Cedric Alexander!
The Archer of Infamy has been able to keep his rage at bay, as well as keep the WWE United States Championship around his waist. But will the Gold Standard score a big win and get a golden ticket?
Raw returns and the Hurt Business make their entrance. Alexander is even more fired up for this than Benjamin, and the bell rings. Priest and Benjamin circle, Alexander distracts and Benjamin attacks! Benjamin throws hands in the corner but lets off at 4. Priest ROCKS Benjamin with haymakers but Benjamin knees low and punches back. Benjamin whips, Priest reverses and choke grips, but Benjamin slips out to throw Priest out! Alexander stays clear until the ref is busy with Benjamin, PENALTY KICK for Priest! Benjamin fetches Priest into the ring, hauls him up, OLYMPIC SLAM! Cover, TWO!
Benjamin rains down hands as Alexander says to hurt him! Benjamin wraps on a chinlock and he has the hometown crowd on his side. Priest fights up, Benjamin knees low and whips. Priest reverses and back elbows Benjamin down! Damian might be creeping out, and he starts firing off KICKS on Benjamin! ROLLING ELBOW, then LARIAT! Benjamin gets to a corner, Priest runs in to back elbow! Priest keeps moving, he ducks and dodges to WHEEL KICK Benjamin down! Alexander distracts but Priest DECKS him! Benjamin runs in to STEP UP KNEE! And T-BONE SUPLEX! Cover, TWO!!
Priest survives but Benjamin keeps cool. Benjamin waits for Priest to stand, then runs in, but into a ROUNDHOUSE! Priest choke grips, SOUTH OF HEAVEN CHOKE SLAM! Priest snarls, fires up, and he dragon sleepers for the RECKONING! Cover, Priest wins!
Winner: Damian Priest, by pinfall
The Gold Standard didn’t measure up to the champion, but Priest gets on the mic to give credit to Benjamin. He’s one of the few legends out here that’ll fight Priest like a man. But Priest has beaten athletes of his caliber before. In fact, there’s a whole list of former world champions that Priest has also beaten. Serious fighters, serious athletes, Priest has stepped up to their challenges and remained our US Champion. But now, Priest looks to WrestleMania! He wants his next opponent to match that caliber. Next week, Priest is volunteering his US Championship, but against someone of world title caliber.
“I am Damian Priest, the United States Champion! Who’s gonna try to take that from me?” The Archer of Infamy has held the door open, but wait! In walks FINN BALOR! The Prince already has a mic and he says, “You wanna face a serious athlete? You wanna face a serious fighter? You want a world champion level opponent? Sounds like you’re talking about me.” Fans sure like the sound of this! Balor tells Priest to be careful what he wishes for. And see you next week. Will the inaugural Universal Champion look to add one more belt to his resume?
Reggie heads to the ring!
The NEW WWE 24/7 Champion springs in, after having busted out of the Friend Zone when he took this title back. But what will he have to say about the whole thing? And will someone try to take this title away from him while he’s out in the open? We’ll se, after the break.
Raw returns and Reggie has the mic. “So, I just came out here to get something off my chest. And I promise that I won’t be interrupted by any 24/7 shenanigans until I’m done. But I would like to bring out the former 24/7 Champion, Dana Brooke. Dana, could you come out here, please?” Dana does oblige, not really sure what this is about. She gets in the ring, and he wants her to listen. He has been very supportive of her since the beginning. He cared for her, maybe as more than just friends. And he gets it, that’s all she ever wanted to be. And that was fine. But last week, Reggie just… lost sight of what was important.
Reggie saw an opportunity and took it. He couldn’t resist. But then he had this horrible feeling in his stomach. He’s just trying to say, from the bottom of his heart, he’s sorry. And more than that, he wants to show Dana that she means so much more to her. Please, let’s get a ref out here. A ref hurries, and Reggie does a flip and a spin, before he lies down for Dana! Dana is surprised, covers him, TWO! Reggie smirks, he couldn’t help it! He’s just playing. She covers deeper, TWO! He kicks out again! Dana can’t believe he’s playing around. He swears he’s not! Dana covers, and Dana KISSES Reggie! Dana wins!!
Winner: Dana Brooke, by pinfall (NEW WWE 24/7 Champion)
Talk about a literal lip lock! Dana blows Reggie a kiss, and Reggie can’t help but respect that move. But here come the others! Reggie dropkicks R-Truth away, then Dana shoves Akira Tozawa into Tamina’s arms! Tozawa wants a kiss, Tamina DUMPS him! Tamina runs into the ring, Dana and Reggie head for the hills! They run through the crowd, will the Daughter of Superfly get that belt off Dana?
Bianca Belair is here!
The EST won last week’s gauntlet, and she won the Elimination Chamber match, which means she’s going back to WrestleMania! Bianca is ready to go after the Raw Women’s Championship and Becky Lynch, and we’ll hear her thoughts, after the break.
Raw returns and Bianca has the mic while fans chant “EST!” Yes, your girl is going back to WrestleMania! Last year, history was made when she main evented and won the SmackDown Women’s Championship. And now she’s gonna run it all the way back. Only, this time for the Raw Women’s Championship, and we all know how she feels about “Big Time” Becky Lynch. But before getting into all that, Bianca gives it up to all the other women in the Chamber match. Fans cheer, and Bianca says, “Those are some tough women.” Especially Doudrop, her opponent here tonight. But can there only be one toughEST.
Bianca is the EST, that means she’s the strongEST, the fastEST, the roughEST, the toughEST, the best, but she wants to get this across: she is the hardEST working woman in the WWE! She has been working non-stop just for this moment! So if you think she’s about to let up now, “Girl. Uh-uh.” Just in six weeks, she’ll show Becky exactly why you can’t WrestleMania without the E S T. But speaking of, here comes Becky! Becky holds up her title, still having it after defeating Lita. Becky goes to the ring, gets herself a mic, and she “congratulates” Bianca for making it back to the big time.
And while Bianca doesn’t get any bigger than the only two women to ever win a WrestleMania main event, them going 1v1 in this year’s main event, just don’t forget Bianca got here is because Becky did it first. Oh? Bianca admits, Becky did it first. But Bianca did it better. Oh, you did it better? Okay, well, if Becky remembers correctly, Becky walked out WM35 as #BeckyTwoBelts! One of those titles, the Raw title, has been hers ever since! She hasn’t lost it in three years! And the other, well, gosh. It was just six months ago today, happy anniversary, when Becky won it off Bianca in just 26 seconds.
Bianca was waiting on that. Becky loves bringing it up like we all forget. Oh, Becky knows no one forgets. Bianca uses it to play victim. What? Victim? Well Bianca could’ve tucked away her braid and left so Becky wouldn’t have to worry about her anymore, which is what Becky wanted. But Bianca actually listened to Becky. Becky said to go to the back of the line, which is what happened. Because then, after Survivor Series, Bianca was the Sole Survivor. Bianca then fought her way through and won the Elimination Chamber and didn’t make any excuses. So she isn’t a victim, never claimed to be one-
Right, she’s not! Becky’s the victim! Yes! Listen to the people chant! Before Bianca came along, the people loved Becky! The Man of the People! Bianca raises an eyebrow as Becky says she had a hero’s welcome. But because of Bianca, the people despise Becky. And for that, Becky despises Bianca. At Elimination Chamber, we saw what Becky did to Lita. Lita is someone Becky loved. So imagine what she does to someone she despises. This isn’t Bianca’s redemption story, it’s Becky’s! Well if Becky wants to play victim, how about Bianca just make her one? Off come the earrings! But here comes Doudrop!
Becky points to Piper Niven as she heads down the ramp, knowing Bianca has her hands full. Will the EST get past Doudrop again to give Big Time Becks something to think about?
Bianca Belair VS “Doudrop” Piper Niven!
Raw returns again and the bell rings. Becky’s on commentary as Bianca and Piper approach. They tie up, are in a deadlock, but Piper pushes Bianca back a step. Bianca pushes Piper back to a corner, but the ref counts. Bianca lets off, blows kisses to Piper and Becky, but Piper puts Bianca in the corner. Piper digs her hands into Bianca’s face but lets off as the ref counts. Bianca dodges Piper to headlock! Piper powers up and out, Bianca handsprings over and tells Piper to kiss this! Piper runs in, Bianca dodges, hurdles, but Piper counters hip toss to a rolling cradle, ONE! Piper scoops Bianca but Bianca slips off.
Piper blocks the whip, whips Bianca, but Bianca goes up and over and handsprings to then dropkick Piper back! Bianca kips up and fans fire up as Bianca runs in to RAM Piper. Bianca RAMS in again, lets off at 4, and then bumps Piper off buckles. Becky says it isn’t her fault for using sneaky tactics, it is her opponents’ faults for not seeing that coming. Bianca bumps Piper off buckles, but Piper bumps Bianca back. Piper CLUBS Bianca, then throws a heavy body shot. Piper bumps Bianca off more buckles, but Bianca hits back with body shots! Fans rally but Piper DECKS Bianca! Piper looms over Bianca then brings her up.
Piper whips but Bianca stops from hitting buckles. Bianca bumps Piper off buckles, but Piper fights the torture rack! Piper goes to ropes for defense, Bianca is after her, but the ref has Bianca back off. Piper HEADBUTTS Bianca! Bianca just snarls and handsprings to kick Piper down! Bianca then goes out to CROSSBODY Piper down! Bianca tells Becky that the belt’s gonna be hers, but then Piper CROSSBODIES back! Becky laughs at Bianca for that one as Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Piper grinds Bianca down in a cobra clutch. Bianca endures, fans rally up for the EST, and Bianca gets up to throw body shots. Bianca is free, but she swings into a SAIDO! Becky says Bianca should focus on Doudrop so that wouldn’t happen. Piper runs corner to corner, but into a SPINEBUSTER! Fans fire up and Bianca feeds off the energy! Handspring MOONSAULT! Becky no longer likes what she sees as Bianca gets Piper up. Bianca reels Piper in, suplexes, but Piper powers out and wrenches to whip. Bianca goes up, tells Piper to kiss this, then goes over. Piper runs into a spin, Bianca tries again, but still no suplex!
Piper tries but Bianca blocks. Bianca manages to SNAP SUPLEX Piper down! Becky is seething, claims the jacket is too warm for this arena, but Bianca fires up. Bianca goes after Piper, blocks a buckle bump and elbows free. Bianca goes to boot but Piper blocks it to throw Bianca down hard! Piper runs corner to corner again, CANNONBALL into buckles as Bianca moves! Both women are down and fans fire up! Bianca drags Piper to a cover, TWO! Becky applauds Piper’s toughness but Bianca stomps Piper. Bianca drags Piper up but Piper scoops, MICHINOKU DRIVER! Cover, TWO!!
Piper can’t believe Bianca survives, but this is the toughEST, after all! Piper gets up, stomps Bianca, then goes to the corner. But Bianca gets up to bump Piper off buckles! RUNNING POWERBOMB!! The strongEST shocks Becky! Bianca still isn’t done, as she gets Piper up the corner for the torture rack! KISS OF DEATH! Cover, Bianca wins!
Winner: Bianca Belair, by pinfall
And Becky can’t stand it! Becky gets up on the desk to make sure Bianca sees her holding up the belt. But will Becky still be a champion after another WrESTleMania moment?
WWE celebrate Black History Month.
Booker T visited the For Oak Cliff Community Center in the Oak Cliff Dallas area. For Oak Cliff was founded by Taylor Toynes and Xavier Henderson, two young men who grew up in the area and even worked as teachers before founding the organization. They want to build the community up through their four pillars: education, advocacy, community building, and art. They serve all ages, and have served more than 30 THOUSAND community members, and have distributed 1.4 MILLION pounds of food.
EDGE is here!
The Rated R Superstar is fired up and so is South Carolina! Especially for the pyro! Edge goes to the ring, and sits in the chair already waiting for him. “You smell that? C’mon, South Carolina, you gettin’ a whiff of that? I’m not talking about my massively manly pheromones that totally reek of awesomeness. No, that’s the smell of WrestleMania in the air.” Edge wants to take us back a bit: WrestleMania 3! Edge sat beside his uncle’s radio to wait for the match results. Finally, the DJ cuts in, “Hulk Hogan has body slammed Andre the Giant. Not only that, he beat Andre the Giant.” Edge will never forget that.
That’s why his heartrate goes up and everyone else in the locker room understands the physical and emotional toll it takes to get on the Showcase of the Immortals. Edge knows firsthand. The first Mania he was on as a talent was 14, that’s how old he is. Fans cheer and Edge says it’s good to be back. But Edge took two more years to actually get on the show. He finally got his match, he threw caution to the wind and put on the performance to elevate his career. And they did it! But in doing that, Edge understood the stakes. He understood that every year, he’d have to outdo himself.
At Mania 17, against two of the greatest tag teams of all time, in a TLC match, on possibly the greatest show of all time, they stole the show. We’re thinking about you, D-Von! Then at Mania 21, Edge won the first Money in the Bank ladder match. Then at Mania 22, he put Mick Foley through a burning table and stole the show again! Then at Mania 24, Edge main evented against The Undertaker. The world title against the streak, and Edge came that close. Also, congrats to the Deadman’s Hall of Fame induction, you deserve it. But then WrestleMania 27, Edge had what he thought was his last match, where he retired as WHC.
For many, that’d be enough. Not for Edge. So Edge busted his ass for 10 years to get WrestleMania back! Last year, Mania 37, Edge main evented again. For 38 years, WrestleMania has been the stuff of dreams. Some kids dream of the Stanley Cup, the Super Bowl or Broadway, but not Edge. Edge dreams of WrestleMania. And ever year, Edge still dreams that dream. What it’ll feel like to go down the aisle, what it’ll feel like to stand in the ring, and what it’ll feel like to soak in all the energy of the fans so that he can be phenomenal! Because at Mania, Edge makes everyone and everything around him better!
Edge steps up to the challenges. At Mania, you need to throw caution to win, fight your inner demons, and become undeniable. Edge needs WrestleMania. This is supposed to be the most stupendous Mania ever, but you can’t say that without Edge! As much as Edge needs Mania, Mania needs Edge. So Edge is throwing down the gauntlet, laying down a challenge to everyone in the locker room! Someone needs to step up. If you wanna prove yourself, stand across the ring at WrestleMania against a man who is still the best in the industry today! A certifiable legend! Fight Edge at WrestleMania and he’ll make you live forever.
“So step up, boys. I’ll be waiting.” The Rated R Superstar just put out the biggest call to action ever! Will someone answer it? Will more than one answer it?
RKBRO VS Seth Rollins & Kevin Owens!
The Stallion & The Viper, the former Raw Tag Team Champions, won the Alpha Academy Academic Challenge and have their tag title rematch. However, the Architect & Prizefighter have politicked their way into an opportunity of their own! Will Seth Freakin’ Owens and Kevin Freakin’ Owens add themselves to that match? Or will RKBRO deny them their path to Wrestle Freakin’ Mania?
Raw returns and KO makes his entrance, followed by Rollins. The teams sort out, and Riddle starts against Rollins. Fans sing Rollins’ theme, but then Kevin and Rollins switch. Kevin and Riddle tie up, Riddle waistlocks and SLAMS Kevin down. Kevin gets up, elbows free and switches the waistlock, then gets a headlock, Riddle powers out but Kevin runs him over! Riddle is right up but he holds back. They tie up. Riddle shoots around to get a SLEEPER! Kevin snapmares free, SENTONS Riddle, then taunts Orton. Kevin stomps Riddle, brings him around, and CHOPS him! Tag to Rollins and Rollins throws hands on Riddle.
Fans rally for Orton, Riddle fireman’s carries! Rollins slips free, runs and SLINGBLADES Riddle down! Rollins struts and the fans sing, “OH~ OH~ OOOOH~!” Rollins brings Riddle up, but Riddle gut wrench suplexes him away! Tag to Orton and fans fire up! Orton stomps Rollins’ legs, then he stomps Rollins’ arms. Orton drags Rollins up to scrape laces on the face, then he tags Riddle in. Snapmare and ASSISTED FLOATING BRO! Cover, ONE! Riddle hurries to chinlock and bring Rollins around. Orton tags in to stomp Rollins back down. Orton knees low, whips to ropes, but Rollins kicks him back!
Rollins throws body shots and haymakers, but the ref counts, Rollins lets off at 4, but Orton DECKS Kevin before Kevin can hit him! Orton then throws Rollins right out! Orton goes after Rollins, but Kevin saves Rollins from the back suplex! Only for Kevin to take the ANNOUNCE DESK BACK SUPLEX! But Rollins DIVES and blasts Orton over the desk! Fans fire up and Rollins tells Kevin to get up as Raw goes to break.
Raw returns once more, and Rollins has Orton in a facelock. Orton reaches for Riddle but Rollins whips him away into the corner, only for Orton to rebound and LARIAT! Both men are down, hot tag to Kevin! Kevin runs over to DECK Riddle! Kevin then stomps Orton while mocking him, and he covers, TWO! Kevin clamps on with a chinlock but fans rally up for “RANDY! RANDY!” Orton fights up, reaches out, but Kevin keeps him form ropes. So Orton shifts to get a BIG back suplex! Fans fire up again as Orton crawls, but Alpha Academy is watching backstage. They don’t like this, hot tags to Rollins and Riddle!
Riddle fires off a flurry of palm strikes, then spins around Rollins to PELE! Riddle kips up, goes side to side to forearm smash in the corner! And then from the other side! But Rollins fights the Brosploder! Only to spin into the BROSPLODER! BROTON on top! And a PENALTY KICK! Then a GERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!! Rollins survives but Riddle keeps his focus. Fans rally, Riddle goes up, but Rollins drags him down. Riddle elbows Rollins away but Kevin trips Riddle up behind the ref’s back! Rollins has Riddle in a Tree of Woe and goes up, WOE STOMPS! Cover, TWO!!
Fans fire up but Rollins can’t believe it! Tag to Kevin, he brings Riddle up to pump handle, USHIGOROSHI! Cover, TWO!! Riddle survives again and Kevin is furious! Kevin waits for Riddle to stand, he kicks but no stunner! Kevin still ROCKS Orton, but Riddle gets around. Ripcord, but Kevin breaks free to ENZIGURI! Kevin tags Rollins, then Kevin climbs! SWANTON BOMB! Rollins is right up, FROG SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!!! Riddle survives again and neither Kevin, Rollins or the fans can believe it! Fans are fired up for “RKBRO!” but Rollins tells them to shut up! Tag back to Kevin and they get Riddle up.
Riddle lands out of the double back suplex! He dodges Rollins, then Kevin, hot tag to Orton! The Viper rallies on the Prizefighter, then dodges to POWERSLAM! Rollins runs in, into a POWERSLAM! Orton gets Rollins up and into the ropes! Orton also has Kevin, but Rollins drops down! Kevin is still stuck, so Kevin gets the DRAPING DDT! Fans are fired up again as Orton hears the voices in his head! RK- NO! But Riddle tags in! Kevin SUPERKICKS Orton, clotheslines him out, but Riddle ROUNDHOUSES again and again! Kevin blocks, STOMPS a toe, and Rollins sneaks around to CURB STOMP Orton on the ramp!!
Kevin runs into a back elbow! Riddle goes up, FLOATING BORO ATTACK! But Rollins tags in! Kevin swings, into a RK- NO!! Rollins catches Riddle for a BUCKLE BOMB! STUNNER from Kevin! CURB STOMP from Rollins!!! Cover, Rollins & Kevin win!!!
Winners: Seth Rollins & Kevin Owens, by pinfall (added to the Raw Tag Team Championship match)
They freakin’ did it! The Academy is furious, will they no longer be champions after the Triple Threat they’re now in? Or can Chad Gable and his Master’s Degree cook up a way to escape with the gold?
My Thoughts:
So Raw ended up better than Elimination Chamber, if only by a little bit. Lesnar and Heyman had a very good promo segment to open, and while Lesnar going to SmackDown this week makes all the sense, I’m more surprised they’re trying to add something more to the Road to WrestleMania at the last minute. A “roadblock” at Madison Square Garden, since we’re not getting Fastlane this year, which originally was “Roadblock the PPV.” I hope they put this MSG event on the Peacock, or else what’s the point? And though they kayfabed Lashley’s shoulder injury as a concussion, he’s not going to be cleared to compete and who knows who Lesnar faces. Lesnar is still winning, though, they aren’t going to say Winner Takes All is happening and then make a U-turn on it.
I really liked Edge’s promo teasing no less than three different possibilities. He said “phenomenal” for AJ Styles, “inner demon” for Finn, and “live forever” for Damian Priest. Priest had a decent match with Benjamin, but we all know those guys could do way better than that. I was surprised Priest’s open challenge was answered so soon, but it’s awesome that Finn Balor was the one. Balor hasn’t been US Champion yet, that’d be awesome if he got it. Hell, I would love if all four guys had a match for that title at WrestleMania. Edge has had the US title but only once, way back when it was still called the WCW US Championship. I don’t know if Edge, a part-timer, would win the title, but he’d add something special to the match.
Speaking of Finn, his surprise return actually being part of the tag match with Ciampa was great, too. It was a really good match, but of course Ciampa and Finn win since Finn was back and Ciampa is going to face Ziggler tomorrow on NXT as NXT builds towards Bron Breakker’s next challenger. Ziggler probably finds a way to win so he can then take on Bron. We got a decent Miz TV, and sadly the Logan Paul news leaked, so despite everyone thinking it would be free agent Cody Rhodes, it was not Cody Rhodes. Miz did his best to tease things in his promo, but all just to make Logan Paul the disappointing swerve. The Mysterios are surely winning this, but probably pinning Miz, not Logan Paul.
Rhea VS Nikki happened again because Vince let one too many women wrestlers go, but there’s a chance this feud is far from over. The 24/7 Championship situation has gotten even sadder. I was actually digging that they made it the crux of the relationship between Dana and Reggie, but Reggie regretting what he did and letting Dana have the title back was a bit sad. I hope someone out of Tamina, Tozawa and Truth get that title off Dana and Reggie at Mania, to then leave Dana and Reggie to figure out their kayfabe romance. Hell, why hasn’t this title been on SmackDown and Fox at all? Does Fox just not care about this thing anymore?
Bianca had a great promo segment with Becky, and a great match with Piper. This match tonight from Piper and Bianca should’ve been how their blow-off from their best of three series went last year. But in the end, Bianca is going to build a lot of momentum going towards WrestleMania and we’re going to see an epic match. And then, in quite the twist for the tag titles, Rollins & Kevin just have their contenders opportunity. Alpha Academy have a great match with the Profits to get momentum, and have a good promo to note on Rollins & Kevin getting their chance.
RKBRO VS Rollins & Kevin was great stuff, and naturally Kevin & Rollins find a way to win. That tag title triple threat is going to be great stuff and really could go any which way. And if I recall, Kevin used to have the “Kevin Freakin’ Owens” thing going for him, maybe he should bring that back. Then he and Seth can be the Best Freakin’ Friends!
My Score: 8.3/10

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.

Gunther is in a corner, Jimmy runs up, but into a SHOTGUN! Gunther hauls Jimmy up and reels him in! GUNTHER BOMB! Cover, but Gunther lets off?! Gunther shakes his head, because this is not enough! Gunther wants to send a message to Jey!
The fans chant “ONE MORE TIME! ONE MORE TIME!” as Gunther kicks Jimmy around. Jimmy rises, but Gunther BOOTS him! Jimmy staggers, into a LARIAT! Cover, but again Gunther lets off! The fans are torn as Gunther sadistically lets this continue. The fans chant “YEET! YEET! YEET!” while Jimmy sputters. Gunther eggs Jimmy on, stalks him to the ropes, then CHOPS Jimmy on the back!

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?

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!

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.

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.

Keith argues with the ref but the count is the count. Keith drops a knee on Darius’ face, then covers, TWO! Keith is getting annoyed, but he tells Dante to pipe down. 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! The fans fire up, Dax UPPERCUTS Yuta, then brings Yuta out for a wrench and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Yuta bails out, and he wants outta here? 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?

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?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Hologram and Blake circle, approach, and then Blake slips past Hologram to strut. Blake then pie faces Hologram, talks some smack, and things speed up. Hologram RANAS, then hurdles, rolls, and pops Blake up. Blake RANAS back, then kips up! Blake runs up, but Hologram goes up and over. They both handspring, and Blake shadows Hologram. Blake chest bumps Hologram, then wheelbarrows, but Hologram rolls through to then step over, bridge back, but Blake turns that around on Hologram! Hologram keeps Blake away with boots, then rolls him up, ONE! DROPKICKS cancel out, both men kip up, and the fans fire up!
Blake mockingly applauds, but the fans rally behind Hologram. Blake offers a handshake, but then he SLAPS Hologram! The fans boo, Blake talks trash, and then Blake whips. Hologram handsprings, rolls, and SOBATS, KICKS, and CHOPS! The fans fire up as Blake flops back! Hologram builds speed, but Blake is up! Blake TOSSES Hologram out, then he builds speed.

Blake avoids the leap, Hologram comes back, but Blake sends him into steel steps!
The fans boo while Hologram is down, but Collision goes to picture in picture.
Lee applauds Blake and Blake rolls into the ring. Blake distracts the ref so that Lee can stomp away on Hologram! Big Shotty gets away with that, and Blake waits on Hologram. Hologram rises, Blake builds speed, FOSBURY TOPE! Blake offers high-fives to the fans, but he leaves them all hanging. Blake drags Hologram up, puts him in the ring, then he stomps Hologram. Blake brings Hologram up, and he pulls at the mask! The ref reprimands, but Hologram KICKS Blake from below! Blake storms up to stomp Hologram again! Blake drags Hologram onto the ropes, CHOKES him, but stops as the ref counts.
Blake runs to STRADDLE ATTACK Hologram! Blake drags Hologram back up but Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Blake has Hologram down with a motorcycle stretch. Hologram fights up as the fans rally, but Blake spins Hologram to keep the hold. But Hologram flips through, reels Blake in, NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Things speed up, and Hologram SHOTGUNS Blake first! Blake bails out, the fans fire up, and Hologram builds speed to DIVE! Lee takes the hit for Blake! The fans fire up, Hologram hurries to find Blake, but Blake kicks low! Blake drags Hologram up onto the barriers?! But Hologram fires body shots! And he RANAS Blake to the floor! Blake narrowly avoids hitting the steel steps and the fans fire up!
Hologram high-fives the front row, then stalks after Blake. Hologram goes up the steel steps, Lee storms up but Hologram mule kicks him! Blake jumps up to SPANISH FLY to the floor!

Blake SWATS a lariat, ELBOWS Hologram, BODY BLOWS and BACKHANDS! SLING-DOG! Blake fires up, the fans boo, but Blake handsprings, into the torture rack! Airplane spin and PORTAL BOMB!! Cover, HOLOGRAM WINS!
Winner: Hologram, by pinfall
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 survives and now Hayter is frustrated! Hayter is seeing why Billie is the first and former ROH Women’s TV Champion. Hayter hauls Billie up, but Billie ducks the lariat! SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF! Billie powers up, runs, but Hayter follows to LARIAT at the ropes! Hayter runs, Billie follows, and Billie BOOTS Hayter at the ropes! Billie runs, but Hayter SUPERKICKS! And ENZIGIRIS! 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
