PLAY BY PLAY
Raw opens with MIZ ATTACKING LOGAN PAUL!
Miz is raining down fists on the social media megastar! Logan gets up but Miz RAMS Logan into a corner! And again! Logan clubs back, they scrap, Logan hits a SPINEBUSTER! Miz keeps hitting from below, referees rush out, the brawl just continues as Logan gets loose! Officials try to hold these two back, Miz gets out of the ring, but then wants back in! The refs stop Miz from sliding in and Logan cools off. Will either of these two men wait for SummerSlam to finish this?
Roman Reigns is here!
The Tribal Chief, the Head of the Table, the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, leads the way for The Bloodline. Paul Heyman holds the blue belt while Roman wears the block, the Usos have all their tag titles, and the Bloodline raises them up for the pyro. Madison Square Garden is packed but torn down the middle as Roman walks to the ring. And as always, Roman and the Usos raise the belts again for more pyro. Fans chant for “ROMAN! ROMAN!” and Heyman hands the mic over. Roman smiles and says, “Madison Square Garden! ACKNOWLEDGE ME!” Fans are still torn but Roman tells the “Wise Man” that he doesn’t like talking anymore.
Roman hands the mic to Heyman and Heyman is rather surprised. “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Island of Relevancy. Where tonight our new capital…” The mic is not working. Okay, sound guy, you must be from Jersey. He’s next one out the door. But as Heyman was saying, welcome to our capital, New York City, and their city hall, MADISON SQUARE GARDEN! This honor has been bestowed upon him by his Tribal Chief because this Sunday marks 700 DAYS of the title reign of the Head of the Table, the GOAT, the Greatest of All Time, Roman… Reigns!
And admittedly, this plays into the hands of the challenger for the Undisputed Title, because he just loves to piss on everyone’s parade. And Heyman of course means… BRRROCK! LESNARRR! Heyman asks us this, “When Randy Couture was the greatest MMA Heavyweight of all time, who ruined that party? Brock Lesnar! When the Undertaker was 21-0 at WrestleMania, who ruined that party? Brock! Lesnar! When John Cena was running around with all the Hustle, Loyalty and Respect, who took him to Suplex City and burst that bubble? BROCK! LESNAR! And now, Brock Lesnar looks at this Saturday as day number 699, and he says, ‘Oh, I’m gonna ruin the party for Roman Reigns.’
“This is why my Tribal Chief takes it so personally. Roman Reigns is tired of Brock Lesnar’s legacy being tied into the legacy of the GOAT, Roman Reigns. You think of the Knicks, you think of the Celtics. You think of the Yankees, you think of the Red Sox. You think of Hogan, you think of Macho Man. You think of Stone Cold, you think of The Rock. Well when you think of Roman Reigns, you will no longer, after Saturday, have to think of Brock Lesnar again, because the Suplexorcist is going to exorcise the demon of Brock Lesnar out of the legacy of Roman… Reigns!
“It’s enough! We’re sick of Brock Lesnar’s name! We’re sick of Brock Lesnar riding on the coattails of the greatness of Roman Reigns! IT’s time for Brock to go back to Saskatchewan and slaughter a bunch of hogs.” Heyman says this is what will happen: Anything. All Roman needs to do to keep Brock Lesnar down for the count of ten in their very last match together, he will finally rid of himself of Brock Lesnar. Which is why Roman has nothing to say tonight. Because Roman cannot stand the sound of the name “Brock Lesnar.” And after Saturday at SummerSlam, Brock Lesnar, you will not be able to stand at all!
But fans chant for “Suplex City!” and then (Austin) Theory arrives! Theory says what’s so funny right now is that The Bloodline talks a lot, but they seem to forget the most important details. See, at SummerSlam, Theory won’t just take back his US Championship from Bobby Lashley, but he’ll walk down to the ring, just like he is now, cash in his Money in the Bank contract, and it won’t matter if it’s Brock Lesnar or Roman Reigns, because Theory will become the NEW Undisputed WWE Universal Champion! Roman gets the mic back to tell Theory, “You just gonna stop right there? If you’re gonna come into my arena, at least step foot in my ring and acknowledge your Tribal Chief.”
Theory is hesitant to step forward but Roman says he can’t get scared now. Fans chant “Don’t Be Scared!” and Theory gets in the ring. Roman chuckles and so do the Usos. Theory is nervous! NYC should take it easy, this is his first time. Roman gets it, though. Wise Man, we like Theory, don’t we? He’s alright. Roman can appreciate what Theory’s trying to do but let’s be honest: Theory has no clue what he’s doing. He needs a Wise Man of his own! He needs someone to counsel him! Roman will do that for Theory. Here are some words of wisdom: start looking around. Analyze the situation. Daddy’s not here no more. This is Roman’s ring.
Fans chant “Daddy’s Gone!” and Roman points it out. Fans chant now “Who’s Your Daddy?” Roman says if Theory keeps messing up, Roman will be the daddy! But let’s understand the situation here: Roman runs The Garden now. Roman drops the mic, pats Theory on the back, and Jey SLAPS Theory! So Theory CLUBS Jey! Roman keeps Jey from retaliating, Theory dares someone to step up. The Bloodline spares Theory, for now. Will Theory reconsider his master plan for SummerSlam?
Raw returns and Theory gets a proper introduction.
The Youngest Mr. Money in the Bank says that is what he truly deserves. And he is sure we all enjoyed what Roman- Wait, Drew McIntyre is here?! SmackDown’s Scottish Warrior, and his sword, Angela, are here on Raw for MSG! Fans are fired up for it, but Theory isn’t so sure. A ref gets in the ring, this is a match!

The Showoff gets under Theory’s skin again, and now the Scottish Warrior and the All Mighty are rolling towards this weekend. Will McIntyre win the Donnybrook with Sheamus? Will Theory have his focus split too much to win much of anything at SummerSlam? But then Theory gets to the ramp, and DOUBLE SUPERKICKS from the Usos take him out!! And they hand Roman the briefcase! Roman looks it over, then kneels by Theory to return it. If Theory wants to cash in, he has to have this briefcase. And when he does, Roman wants Theory to make the right decision. Is that all the Bloodline’s way of saying Theory has no chance in Nashville?
It all started on July 25th, 2002.
Rey Mysterio quite literally FLEW into the WWE when he hit a CROSSBODY OF A CAGE on Christian and Lance Storm. And if that didn’t tell you he was something special, then just look at what happened after. Lucha libre on another level, and the 619 as his finisher, who didn’t love the Ultimate Underdog? And of course, his friendship and rivalry with Eddie Guerrero helped him reach the top of the mountain in 2006. Winning the Royal Rumble to headline WrestleMania 22 to take the World Heavyweight Championship from Randy Orton was proof that dreams really do come true in life.
Dominik says it is a blessing to have one of the best ever be his own father, always by his side. They made history together as a father-son tag team championship duo, and that was just one of many amazing accomplishments in Rey’s career. “Every day is a blessing. This has been the biggest ride of my life.” And it isn’t done yet!
The Mysterios arrive in style!
Rey and Dominik pull up, and they’ve brought Mrs. and Aliyah Mysterio, too! Tonight, we all celebrate, after the break.
Another mysterious video plays.
The gears of a clock are turning. More glimpses of items pertaining to John Cena, Rey Mysterio, The Undertaker and more. The bloody writing continues. “I am coming to,” but to what?
Backstage interview with Dolph Ziggler.
Kevin Patrick asks about Ziggler continuing to target Theory. Can he explain his actions? Ziggler says the answer is simple: Theory needs to be taught a lesson. Ziggler has seen thousands of them come and thousands of them go. Everything Theory has had as quickly as he got them was because he was handed them. Sure, he’s quick, athletic, and almost as handsome as Ziggler, but- AJ Styles walks over and says he appreciates what Ziggler is up to. The two of them seem to have a lot in common, actually. But then SHOOOOSH! Shoosh, please. Chad Gable won’t ignore such slander. Especially from two guys who are just jealous that Theory has already surpassed them.
Just like Gable surpasses their IQs. But jealousy is an ugly disease. But “the man with the golden brain” has the cure, and that is Alpha Academy beating it out of them! Hold on. Is this them challenging Ziggler and Styles to a tag match? Oh, he figured that out all on his own? Gable’s so proud. YES this is a tag match challenge! Tonight, in the Garden of Madison Square! Then challenge accepted. Also, see you out there, you Nathan Fielder wannabe. Who? Don’t worry about it. But will Gable & Otis lose from A to Z?
The Mysterios head to the ring!
Rey and Dom are all geared up, the Mysterios celebrate with in-ring action. The rest of the family, as well as friends, are watching backstage with a special Mysterio cake. Rey gets the mic as fans chant, “Thank You, Rey!” Rey says, “Twenty years, this is special, man. Really special. Now let me give you a little backstory. I was 14 years old when I had my first match in Tijuana. And I never imagined in a million years that I would one day perform inside a WWE ring, travel the world, make money, and create legendary rivalries for all, each and every one of you to enjoy.”
The truth is, guys Rey’s size back then just weren’t in the business. But Rey broke that stereotype and that blueprint of what a WWE Superstar should look like. “Now, as a smaller guy, and as a damn proud Latino, I became world champion at WrestleMania 22. And I made a lot of friends along the way. Friends that I wanna thank for helping pave the road for me in my career. You might know some of these names. Dean Malenko. K Dog, Viva la Raza! Batista! Kurt Angel. How ’bout Edge? And we cannot forget the great Eddie Guerrero!” Fans chant for “Eddie! Eddie!”
Rey says he loves and misses Eddie every day. Rey wouldn’t be here without Eddie, and Eddie is always watching over him, so thank you, Eddie. But tonight, Rey stands here before us, truly humble and appreciative of all the love and support the fans have given these past 20 years. Fans chant, “Thank You, Rey!” Rey says to be able to do all that with his family means even more. Fans chant, “You Deserve It!” Rey tells Angie and Aalyah that he wants to say thanks for always being there. He loves them both. And of course, for Dom, Rey is so proud of his son. Rey is proud of the man Dom’s become, and that one day, when Rey is no longer here, Dom will represent the Mysterio legacy to the fullest. Rey loves Dom.
To the fans, here and around the world, Rey wants to thank you for accepting him, always rolling with the Mysterios, and for 20 of the dopest, most awesome years of his life! And Rey has saved the best for last. Rey wants to thank all these fans here tonight. He could’ve been anywhere in the world, but he is here tonight in the legendary and iconic Madison Square Garden, celebrating 20 years! He loves you all! Gracias! Rey continues in Spanish to say he will always be here to represent the Latino culture with pride and respect. He loves you all, this means the world to him! Wait, here comes the Judgement Day from out of the crowd!
Finn Balor applauds as he approaches ringside, and Damian Priest is on the other side! The Mysterios find themselves flanked, but this match will happen fair and square, after the break.

Backstage interview with Alexa Bliss.
Sarah says Alexa faces a familiar opponent in Doudrop. What is her mindset going into this? And what will Alexa look for next? Alexa says it’s fine Doudrop keeps wanting these matches, but here’s what she doesn’t get. What is the dynamic of Piper Niven and Nikki A.S.H? They make fun of Alexa for having Lily, but why are they friends? They don’t benefit anything from it. Alexa loves Lily but she doesn’t need Lily and Lily doesn’t need Alexa. Lily’s an independent woman who makes her own money through WWE Shop.
But here’s why Alexa is number one. Becky and Bianca, it doesn’t matter who wins, you both better watch out. Alexa will reclaim her place at the top of the Raw Women’s Division. Alexa blows a kiss, but will she get #Doudropped on the road back to the title?

AJ Styles talks with Logan Paul backstage.
Styles loved what Logan did with Miz tonight. It was phenomenal, no pun intended. Now, Styles doesn’t want there to be any confusion. He likes what Logan did out there, but he doesn’t necessarily like Logan Paul himself, he doesn’t really know Logan that well. But he likes The Miz way less, so do everyone a favor and shut Miz up at SummerSlam. Logan says he’s got that covered. Logan heads for gorilla, will #ImPAULsiveTV be must-see?
Logan Paul heads to the ring!
He’s got a tuxedo on and the set of ImPAULsive TV is waiting for him. “New York Cityyyy~! We are at Madison Square Garden, and guys, I gotta say, because my brother is actually going to be fighting here next weekend.” Fans are torn on Jake Paul, but Logan says that’s next weekend. Today, tonight, is Monday Night Raw! And the debut of ImPAULsiveTV! It’s like MizTV, but people actually watch. So let’s get impulsive. Logan calls Miz out to finish what they started! They can finish this here in the Mecca of fight sport entertainment! Oh, Miz doesn’t come out? That’s surprising. This is Miz’s MO, getting all the attention!
Logan calls Miz out more, but there’s still no response. Miz is probably trembling backstage with his shriveled little prunes. But wait! Here comes MARYSE! And she tells Logan that first, she doesn’t appreciate him talking about her amazing, awesome, fantastic husband, star of their hit reality show, Miz & Mrs., which has a big double episode finale tonight on the USA Network after Raw, which will be awesome. Second, Logan doesn’t talk about her kids ever again! And most of all, she doesn’t like him talking about her man’s gen… genito… his PACKAGE! But fans still chant “TINY BALLS!” Maryse says that’s not a thing!
Maryse puts her hand up and copies Miz, “When my hand goes up, your mouths go shut!” But she’ll have you know, Logan~, that the average size of a man’s… testicles, is between 1.8 and 2 inches. The Miz’s balls are more like these she has here. Whoa, who measures their nuts? Miz returns, finally being egged on too much by Logan. And Miz says HE does. And so does every single man in MSG. But this isn’t about that. This is about Miz VS Logan at SummerSlam! Miz wants to explain something to Logan. Miz gave him everything here! If not for Miz, Logan wouldn’t be in the WWE, wouldn’t have gone to WrestleMania, and wouldn’t be on SummerSlam! Logan owes Miz!
So Miz will be perfectly clear! Miz taught Logan everything he knows but not everything Miz knows. So at SummerSlam, you won’t get fun loving dad Miz, or reality show TV Miz. You are getting Big Moment Miz! The TWO-TIME GRAND SLAM WINNER Miz! John Cena getting beat in the main event Miz! And when the dust settles, you and every moron watching will know that Miz is AWW- SHUT UP!! Logan called Miz out to throw down and all Miz does is talk! But Logan always knew Miz had tiny- Maryse slaps the mic away! Wow, congrats, Maryse. You’ve got bigger balls than your husband.
Maryse keeps Miz back, but here comes CIAMPA! Logan brawls with Ciampa, Miz gets in but Logan just tackles him! But Ciampa CLOBBERS Logan from behind! Ciampa helps Miz up, and Miz drags Logan up. But Logan tackles Miz down! Ciampa CLOBBERS Logan again, they beat Logan down 2v1, and even the ImPAULsive sign falls on Logan! Miz and Ciampa tear that up, throw it out, and Ciampa drags Logan up again. Miz hooks Logan up for a SKULL CRUSHIGN FINALE! Miz smirks as he looks down on Logan. Fans want that “One More Time!” but Miz takes off his jacket to sling over his shoulder. Miz and Ciampa fist bump, but will Logan finally get his revenge on Saturday?
Backstage interview with the Street Profits AND the Usos.
Kevin Patrick introduces each team one at a time, and even adds the special guest referee, Double J, Jeff Jarrett! The Usos and The Profits have the Six Man Tag main event still to come, but they will be 2v2 at SummerSlam for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships. But Ford won’t let Kevin get to his questions. Tonight, the Usos get a preview of what happens this Saturday. YESSIR! Jey says they’ll just body the Profits again, like they did at MITB! YESSIR! Ford says they didn’t body nobody then. The teams start pushing and Jarrett tells EVERYONE to shut up! Anyone who gets outta line tonight, Jarrett will remember at SummerSlam. So you better keep the peace.
Jarrett heads off, Profits and Usos tell each other that Jarrett just told the other team off. The Profits are up and #WeWantTheSmoke! Well good, but you’re still the twos, because #WeTheOnes! But then Jarrett returns and they all calm down. Ain’t he great?
AJ Styles & Dolph Ziggler VS The Alpha Academy!
Two #PhenomenalShowoffs quickly bonded over their disdain for cocky newbies like Theory, but Chad Gable & Otis claim it’s all just jealousy. Will Styles & Ziggler prove it’s nothing of the sort? Or will they SHOOOOSH?
Raw returns and the Alpha Academy make their entrance. Chad has a mic to SHOOOOSH Madison Square Garden. “New York, I’m disappointed in you. You know better than that. You do not boo an Olympian. You do not boo a man with a Master’s Degree, and you do not boo a man who did it with an immaculate 4.0 GPA. A Thank Yew~!” Fans still boo anyway. Gable says they’re the ones who live on a decomposing, putrid excuse of an island, okay? An island, in fact, that will end up at the bottom of the ocean under the weight of the human garbage that lives on it! Gable says not to get mad, that’s just science!
And when it comes to human garbage, Gable tells Styles and Ziggler are just another thrown-together team that will just end up a disappointment. Like an organization that is an embarrassment, the New York Knicks. So everyone do NYC a favor and let them get a look at a real tag team! The intellect, Chad Gable. The tree trunk, Otis! A THANK YEW~! The teams sort out, Ziggler and Gable start. They tie up, go around, Gable drags Ziggler down to facelock but Ziggler slips around to half nelson and cradle, ONE! DROPKICK! Ziggler drags Gable up and over, tag to Styles, and they mug Gable.
Styles CLUBS Gable, but Gable throat chops! Gable says “SHOOSH!” then runs, but Styles hurdles and drops to then DROPKICK! Gable bails out, the ring count starts, but Styles slingshots to FLYING FOREARM! Down goes Gable, Styles drags him and his big brain back up as Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and the Academy double whips Styles for a double back drop! Styles lands hard, Otis DECKS Ziggler! Otis covers Styles, TWO! Otis drags Styles up, clamps on a neck wrench, but fans rally as Styles fights up. Styles JAWBREAKERS, but Otis back suplexes! Styles lands on his feet then jumps, but Otis catches him! Styles sunset flips through, but Otis stays up. Otis jumps but Styles avoids the elbow drop! Styles hurries, hot tag to Ziggler! Ziggler dodges Otis, DECKS Gable, fires off on Otis and KNEES him! Ziggler runs, into the WRECKER ELBOW! Otis shouts, “For the Academy!”
Otis taunts Ziggler, tags Gable in, and Gable says, “Look at that face!” Gable drags Ziggler up, tells fans to SHOOSH, then he hits an EXPLODER! Ziggler flounders while Gable demands he get up. Gable waistlocks, CHAOS THEORY! “A THANK YEW~!” Fans boo but Gable drags Ziggler to a drop zone. Gable goes up, MOONSAULTS, but has to land on his feet as Ziggler dodges! SUPERKICK! Cover, Otis breaks it! Otis sees Styles jump in and catches him! But Ziggler SUPERKICKS Otis! Styles PELES and Otis falls out! Gable throat chops Ziggler then waistlocks Styles Styles bucks that into a ZIGZAG! Cover, A to Z wins!
Winners: AJ Styles & Dolph Ziggler, by pinfall
And they get outta there before Otis returns! The Academy failed their own challenge, will they have to rethink their strategies? Or have we seen the start of a phenomenal new tag team?
BREAKING NEWS for SummerSlam!
After everything the Judgement Day has been doing to Rey Mysterio, we’re getting a NO DISQUALIFICATIONS Tag Team match! Will Rey & Dom use everything they can get their hands on to beat down Finn & Priest? Or will this be what finally leaves the lucha libre legend and his legacy lying on the mat for good?
Six Man Tag: Matt Riddle & The Street Profits VS The Bloodline!
The Tribal Chief and the Usos head out first for their round of pyro, but those won’t be the only fireworks tonight. Will the #BROfits be knocked down before everything explodes in Nashville? Or will the undisputed champions of the WWE see they aren’t as unstoppable as they think?
Raw returns and the Profits make their entrance, followed by Riddle’s. The trios sort out and Dawkins starts with Jimmy. They circle, tie up, and are in a deadlock. Dawkins turns things but Jimmy headlocks, Dawkins powers out, Jimmy urns him over, but things keep moving, Dawkins hurdles, Jimmy shoves, Dawkins hurdles again to FLYING ELBOW! Cover, ONE, but Dawkins facelocks. Tag to Ford, they double whip and dropkick Jimmy down! Then back suplex SPLASH! Cover, ONE! Ford wrenches but Jimmy powers Ford to the Bloodline’s corner! Tag to Jey, Jey runs in to forearm smash! Jey CLUBS Ford down then talks trash.
Jey has Ford on ropes, CHOKES him, but the ref counts. Jey lets off, but Roman adds on while the ref is distracted! Roman gets away with that, Jey gets Ford with a chinlock then he CLUBS Ford down. Fans rally “UCE! SO!” as Jey puts Ford in a corner. Jey whips corner to corner, Ford goes up and over and then DROPKICKS! Ford taunts Roman’s “ACKNOWLEDGE ME!” then tags Riddle in. Ford wrenches an arm, Riddle KICKS Jey and ROCKS him with a forearm. Riddle fires off, KICKS and KICKS and KICKS! The ref counts, Riddle lets off Jey at 4, but then Jimmy runs in. Riddle dumps Jimmy out, tags Ford in, and Ford FLIES!
Direct hit on the Usos at the ramp and Ford lands on his feet! MSG is fired up with Ford as he dances over the Usos and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and Jey drags Riddle up for a BIG back suplex! Jey raises the fingers, #WeTheOnes, and then Jey pushes Riddle to the Bloodline corner. Jey stomps a mudhole into Riddle, Jimmy tags in and he stomps away. Jey stomps away, too, then gets out of the ring. Roman talks trash on Riddle, and Jimmy wants to gift The Bro to him! Roman looks around and hears the fans chanting for him. So the Tribal Chief decides to tag in! Fans cheer and jeer as Roman drags Riddle up to bump off buckles, and fire off those point-blank lariats! Roman goes all the way to ten, then he runs to LEAPING LARIAT Riddle down!
Roman dares the Profits to do something as he drags Riddle up. Roman reels Riddle in, snap suplexes, then covers, TWO! Roman drags Riddle up again and he wrenches the arm to YANK on it. Tag to Jey, they mug Riddle with a shot to the ribs. Riddle falls and sputters, Heyman says that was a magnificent round from the Tribal Chief. Jey drags Riddle up to ROCK him with an uppercut! Riddle staggers to a corner, Jey taunts the Profits and runs corner to corner, but Riddle moves! The splash hits post and fans fire up! Both men crwal, hot tag to Ford! GAMANGIRI for Jey, then Ford goes up for a BIG leap!
Jey gets under but Ford DECKS Jimmy! Roman avoids a shot, Ford avoids Jey, and Ford LARIATS Jey down! Fans fire up as Ford mule kicks, front kicks and ENZIGURIS! Roman sneaks a tag in before Ford hits a BIG back suplex on Jey! Ford kips up, but turns around into Roman’s URENAGE! Cover, TWO!! Ford survives but Roman argues the count. The ref says that was fair, so Roman drags Ford up to RAM him into the Bloodline corner. Roman throws hands, CLUBS Ford in the chest, then tags in Jimmy. Jimmy and Roman mug Ford, who is busted open along his eyebrow and bridge of the nose.
The ref checks Ford and tells Jimmy to stay back. Ford is dazed, bloody, but he says he’s still in this. So Jimmy rains down elbows and fists into Ford’s face! Jimmy drops a headbutt! Cover, TWO! Ford gets to the corner and Roman mocks Ford’s pain. Jey tags in and Jimmy scoops Ford, BACKBREAKER AX HANDLE COMBO! Cover, TWO! Ford is still in this but Jey stays on him as Raw goes to break.
Raw returns once more and Ford is fighting against a chinlock with body shots, only for Jimmy to throw Ford down! Jimmy puts Ford on the ropes and CHOKES him! The ref counts, Jimmy lets off, and Jimmy tags Roman. Roman goes out and raises the finger, to then DRIVE-BY DROPKICK! Fans fire up as Roman goes back to the ring. Roman drags Ford up, bumps him off more buckles, then throws haymakers on him over and over! The ref counts, Roman lets off, but Roman talks trash. Roman’s on top, #WeTheOnes, and he locks ‘n’ loads. Dawkins rushes in but Roman DECKS him! Ford comes up to BLOCKBUSTER!
Fans fire up while both men are down! Ford and Roman crawl, hot tags to Riddle and Jimmy! The Bro rallies, spins Jimmy to a PELE, then kips up! Jey gets in, but Riddle turns him around to ripcord and FINAL FLASH! Forearm smash for Jimmy to a BROSPLODER! Then a forearm smash and BROSPLODER for Jey! BROTON for Jimmy, BROTON for Jey and fans are fired up as Riddle puts Jimmy through ropes! Shout out to Randy, but Jey saves Jimmy. So Riddle goes outside to PENALTY KICK Jey! Riddle then SPRINGBOARD FLOATING BROS! He takes out the Usos right in front of commentary!
Riddle puts Jimmy in the ring, dodges the clothesline but Jimmy dodges the powerslam! Roman tags in before Jimmy runs in, POWERSLAM hits after all! But the SUPERMAN PUNCH is outta nowhere! Cover, Ford breaks it! Ford CLUBS away on Roman, Jey drags him up but Ford tosses Jey out! Ford then PLANCHAS! Direct hit and Jey goes down! Jimmy runs to DIVE and take out Ford! The Usos regroup, but Dawkins POUNCES them both into the timekeeper’s area! But Roman SMACKS Dawkins off the desk, RAMS him into the steel steps, and gets back on the apron. FINAL FLASH in the ropes!! DRAPING DDT!!
Fans are thunderous as Riddle hears those voices, bro! Roman rises, RK- NO, Roman TOSSES Riddle! “OOAH~!” SPEAR!! Cover, The Bloodline wins!
Winners: The Bloodline, by pinfall
The Tribal Chief turns momentum around at the last moment, and he stands tall with his cousins once again! Will this be how things go for SummerSlam? Speaking of, “BURN IT DOWN~!” Seth Rollins is here now that Riddle is down and out! The Visionary has the fans singing “OH~ OH~ OHHH~!” and Rollins waves bye as he goes past Roman. Riddle flounders up but Rollins CLOBBERS him! Rollins tosses Riddle out of the ring, gets the steel steps in hand, and he RAMS Riddle down! Rollins then hits a CURB STOMP to the floor! But that isn’t enough for Rollins, he drags Riddle to the steps and sets him against them.
Fans are torn between singing and booing as Rollins runs up, STEEL STEP CURB STOMP!! Rollins laughs like the maniacal villain he is! Will the Visionary put the Bro down in Nashville? Or will Riddle be able to avenge himself against Seth Freakin’ Rollins?
My Thoughts:
A great episode for Raw, and the start of the new era in WWE creative! Vince is out, HHH is in, and we already got to see so much change just in how the show is put together that makes it so much better. Opening with Miz and Logan brawling was so unexpected, I laughed and had a great time seeing that. However, it then made them still doing ImPAULsive TV later redundant. Maybe they should’ve opened the night with ImPAULsive TV or should have waited for that segment for Logan to call Miz out and we get the brawl. Well, either way, both segments in a nutshell were great, it just seems like a lot of Logan and Miz, and boy did Maryse struggle to really make this last “Miz does (not) have tiny balls” promo work. As much as fans like chanting at Miz about that, I hope this is the last hurrah of that since Vince is out.
A great bunch of stuff with Theory and all the stories connected through him. Roman burns Theory’s kayfabe in bringing up Vince being gone, but he does show good guts standing up to The Bloodline. Then he goes and steps in it right after, as is his character. Great match with McIntyre 1v1, which was a surprise in itself, but of course the Brawling Brutes show up, too. Then we got a great “impromptu” tag match, and of course Ziggler gets involved again. McIntyre and Lashley get the win here, but McIntyre is still going to win that Donnybrook. Not sure about Lashley now, but there is still Friday for the go-home math. Theory getting knocked down by the superkicks was great, too.
Great career highlight vignette for Rey Mysterio, great promo from Rey himself, though he might’ve started stretching the end to make sure Finn and Priest had time to make their way in from the crowd. Really good match between Mysterios and Judgement Day, and of course the Mysterios win for Rey’s 20th anniversary. Judgement Day getting at them the rest of the night was rather interesting, though. Rhea Ripley’s return, especially with Aalyah getting in her face, I feel like there are plans for a Mixed Six where Aalyah gets in the ring. That No DQ tag rematch at SummerSlam is going to allow Rhea and Aalyah to get involved, setting up the 3v3.
Bianca and Becky had a good segment that also turned into a brawl, though they probably could’ve done a bit more with it. It doesn’t really change the math, either, in that I can’t be sure who wins. I liked that Alexa called them both out either way, and then she had a good match with Piper. Alexa is probably next for the title, and I feel like the next phase for Piper and Nikki should be that Nikki finally ditches the superhero costume. It was a good concept but WWE dropped the ball almost on purpose, so HHH Era WWE just needs to reset Nikki into Nikki Cross. And with that, the Women’s Tag titles return and Piper & Nikki have a chance at them.
I liked Styles’ interaction with Logan, and his interaction with Ziggler and the Alpha Academy. Really good match from Styles & Ziggler VS The Alpha Academy, and a good win for Face Ziggler. Whatever happens at SummerSlam, Ziggler and Theory are going to have a great feud to help Theory really get to where he needs to be before truly being the top guy Vince was making him. Good interaction from Usos, Profits and Jarrett. Jarrett was like the teacher getting the class to behave. And of course, an awesome Six Man Tag. The Bloodline wins, of course, so they can have momentum, and also to keep there from being a cash-in attempt by Theory.
I almost didn’t think Rollins was going to show, but then he wrecked Riddle. I think Riddle wins at SummerSlam so that even though he’s banned from challenging Roman, Riddle can immediately be a contender the moment Roman drops the belts.
My Score: 8.8/10

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

Triple Threat: CM Punk w/ Paul Heyman VS Seth Rollins VS Roman Reigns!
Triple H opened the night mentioning legendary true stories, and this is certainly an epic tale. It was 12 years ago that the Second City Saint and The Wise Man brought in a shield to keep him on top as Best in the World. But after the Hounds of Justice broke free of their leashes, things fell apart. And not just because the Architect betrayed the Big Dog, but because CM Punk left. But now, Punk is back, and if you believe Rollins, things are only getting worse because of him. Heroes, villains, or just men with their own agendas, that’s for history to decide. This battle is not just a grudge match but a match that decides the future of WWE’s identity. Who wins and finishes this story?

The tron changes to reflect how Rollins is ready to #BurnItDown, but then the lights go out…? Because surprise, Rollins took off the black robe to reveal his shining white suit underneath! The fans sing “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” and they max out the sound level meter! But then Roman Reigns makes his entrance and the singing changes to chants of “O T C! O T C!” The Tribal Chief needs nothing more than to lift his finger and set off the pyro before going to the ring. Overhead, the extra trons show off the many legends of the Anoa’i Dynasty as Roman walks past.
Roman gets his second round of pyro, and that leaves one last entrance. “Don’t let these tattoos fool you, I’m a great man of discipline. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t do drugs. I’m straightedge.” CM Punk repeats the words from one of his very first WWE vignettes. “My addiction is wrestling.” This Fire Burns, “you don’t have the fire inside that I have. I have won championships, I have made friends, and I have made enemies. Tonight is MY night. Tonight is MY main event. Pressure is my playground. My fire has always been burning. My addiction is wrestling.” The fans chant for him, and Punk makes his entrance to Living Color playing Cult of Personality LIVE!
The fans sing along, Jelly Roll and George Kittle rock out, and Punk even joins in to get a selfie video with the band. Punk then kneels down, Heyman by his side, to say, “IT’S CLOBBERIN’ TIME~!” The song wraps up and the fans chant for “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” even harder now as he stands on the corner. Heyman is technically in Punk’s corner, but he stands about halfway between Punk and Roman, communicating his conflicted feelings about this situation. Roman also finds himself in an awkward situation, because who is he supposed to hand the ula fala to? He simply sets it in the corner, as he is not happy with Heyman.
The bell rings and the fans fire up already! Rollins smirks, Punk grins, but Roman frowns as they all stare down. Rollins suggests he and Roman could work together for a minute, but Roman shakes his head no. Punk says y’know what, they should settle this. Punk goes outside to talk with Heyman for some “advice,” but Punk is already playing mind games. Rollins tells Roman that Punk doesn’t deserve to be here, he shouldn’t be here, so they can get rid of him together. Roman UPPERCUTS Rollins down! Roman bumps Rollins off buckles, then off more buckles! Roman climbs up, rains down fists, and the fans count along.
Punk jumps in and CLUBS Roman at eight of ten. Punk then CHOPS Rollins! Punk CHOPS Rollins again, then goes back for Roman. Punk KICKS Roman, but Roman ROCKS Punk! Punk ROCKS Roman, ROCKS him again, then whips. Roman LEAPING LARIATS Punk down! Then he LEAPING LARIATS Rollins down! Roman LARIATS Punk up and out of the ring! The fans fire up as Roman sees Rollins is on the apron. Roman goes outside, runs in around the way, and hits a classic DRIVE-BY DROPKICK! Roman snarls, and he SMACKS Punk off the apron! And SMACKS him again! Roman asks Heyman, “Is this your guy?!”
Roman whips Punk but Punk reverses to POST Roman! The fans fire up and Rollins DIVES! Direct hit and Roman hits barriers! Rollins then RAMS Roman into more barriers! And then into the steel steps! The steps go tumbling away and the fans sing for Rollins. But then Rollins looks across the way to see Punk. They both run up, and they brawl! The fans fire up and Punk THROWS Rollins into barriers! Rollins still drags Punk down, they scrap, and Rollins kicks Punk away. Punk comes back, the brawl continues, and Punk LARIATS Rollins into the crowd! The fans fire up as Punk hops up onto the barriers, to AX HANDLE Rollins down!
Punk grabs a chair and JAMS Rollins with it! And SMACKS him with it! That memorabilia just got even more valuable! Rollins uses a stanchion to JAM Punk up! And then Rollins uses the trash can to SMACK Punk! Punk falls, the fans rally and duel, and Rollins SMACKS the can on Punk’s back! And then on the back of Punk’s head! Rollins sits Punk up, tells him he’s done, but Punk kicks low! Punk reels Rollins in and snap suplexes Rollins onto the trash can! Rollins writhes but Punk brings him back up. Punk fires hands, Rollins fires back, and they brawl further along the way. Rollins shoves a trash can into Punk, but Punk CHUCKS it at Rollins’ head!
Punk brings Rollins back towards ringside and the brawling continues. But Roman finds them, and he FLIES into the crowd! The fans lose their minds as Roman wipes Punk and Rollins out! Roman rains down fists, then he TOSSES Punk onto the Hydration Station! Roman drags Rollins up to TOSS him onto Punk! Both men flop to the floor, and now fans want tables! Roman looks at the special edition announce desks and says let’s do it! He clears off the Spanish announce desk, drags Rollins up, and he SMACKS Rollins off the steel steps! Roman grabs the prop Prime bottle to SMASH it on Rollins’ back!
Roman puts Punk in the ring, SMASHES Rollins with the Prime bottle prop again, then he ROCKS Punk. And ROCKS him again! And HEADBUTTS! Punk kicks Roman’s bad leg! Punk CHOPS Roman, puts him in the ring now, then hurries to a corner. Punk mocks the “OOAH~” and runs, but Roman picks Punk up! Roman has a fireman’s carry for a SAMOAN DROP! Rollins springboards in, but into an UPPERCUT! Roman snarls and the fans cheer on “O T C! O T C!” Roman raises the one to the sky, then locks ‘n’ loads! The fans fire up as Roman aims, but Punk dodges the superman punch to SWINGING NECKBREAKER!
Rollins is up, Punk storms over, but Rollins RAMS him! Rollins slingshots, but into the fireman’s carry! Rollins fights free, shoves Punk at Roman, so Punk SHINING WIZARDS Roman! Rollins runs up, but Punk CALF KICKS! Punk grins as he has targets in both corners. Punk runs at Rollins, SHINING WIZARD! Punk runs at Roman, another SHINING WIZARD! Punk goes back to Rollins, SHINING WIZARD! Back to Roman, SHINING WIZARD! Punk turns Roman, kicks Rollins, DDT NECKBREAKER COMBO! The fans fire up while Punk has both men down! Punk drags Rollins to the drop zone, then climbs up the corner.
The fans rally as Punk aims, MACHO ELBOW on Rollins! Rollins sputters away and Punk decides to go for more. Heyman isn’t so sure, but Punk scoop SLAMS Roman into the drop zone. Punk climbs up again, he wants to go double or nothing here in Vegas! But Rollins goes right up after him! The fans fire up, Punk fights the suplex, and Roman gets under Rollins! Electric Chair Lift, but Rollins fires hands! Punk stands, DOOMSDAY DEVICE!! The fans fire up, and then Roman SUPERMAN PUNCHES Punk! Cover, TWO! Punk survives and Roman is stunned! “This is Awesome!” and Roman rises up again.
Roman fires up, the fans are with him, and Roman lets out a true “OOOAH~!” Roman runs up, but Punk KICKS the Spear! Then he fireman’s carries, but Roman fights with elbows! Roman ROCKS Punk, but Punk ROCKS Roman! They go back and forth, haymaker for haymaker, but then Punk gets the edge! Punk fires a flurry, then he clinches, ROCK BOTTOM!? Cover, TWO!! Heyman is conflicted as Punk now has the ANACONDA VICE!! Roman endures, flails, pries at the hold, but Punk pulls back! Rollins is up top! FROG SPLASH onto it all!! Cover on Roman, TWO!! All three men are down and Vegas is loving this!
Rollins stomps Punk, stomps Roman, repeat! Rollins rains down furious fists on Punk, then he drags Punk up to BUCKLE BOMB! Punk flops down and Rollins stomps away on Roman! Rollins drags Roman up, reels him in, and lifts for a BUCKLE BOMB! Roman flops down and the fans fire up! Rollins hears the singing, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” and then he glares at Punk and Roman. Rollins stands over Roman, but he goes after Punk! Rollins underhooks, but Punk fireman’s carries! Roman SPEARS Punk down! Rollins drags Roman up to underhook, but Roman BACKDROPS free! Rollins lands out!
Roman dodges Rollins, SPEAR into a PEDIGREE!! Rollins hurries to CURB STOMP!! Rollins kicks Punk out of the ring, covers Roman, TWO!?!? Perhaps Rollins wasted time keeping Punk out of this because he had Roman dead to rights! The fans rally up again as Rollins drags Roman to a drop zone. Rollins goes up the corner, says a quick prayer, PHOENIX- NO, Roman rolls out of the way! Rollins rolls through, Punk fireman’s carries! Rollins slips free, Roman runs up, but Punk slips away, SPEAR on Rollins!! Punk drags Roman up to fireman’s carry! GO TO SLEEP!! Cover, TWO?!?! Roman survives and Heyman isn’t sure what he’s feeling!
Punk seethes and thinks on what more it’ll take. The fans duel, Punk goes outside, and Punk fetches Roman back into the ring. Punk brings Roman up, says night-night, and he fireman’s carries again. But Roman flails and fires elbows! Rollins is back, he kicks Punk to PEDIGREE!! Cover, TWO!! Punk survives now and Rollins is stunned! Heyman checks on Punk as Punk goes to the apron. Rollins goes to Roman and says Roman never knows. That is why Rollins is here! Without Heyman, Punk, Rollins, Moxley, the Bloodline, Roman knows nothing! But Rollins still insists that Punk doesn’t belong. It should be Roman and Rollins. Punk is the outsider!
Rollins wants Roman to help him finish Punk! Rollins goes out and BOOTS Punk down! Rollins clears off English commentary, and he wants to do this like old times! Roman walks over, but he seems unsure about this. Rollins CLUBS away on Punk, and he tells Roman that this is the key! Roman still isn’t sure, but then he shouts, “PICK HIM UP!” Rollins lifts Punk up, Roman shouts at Heyman that he told Heyman this would happen! Rollins waits on Roman, but then Roman DECKS Rollins! And he lifts Punk to POWERBOMB him through the desk! It actually falls apart! The fans are going nuts while Roman paces around Rollins.
Roman drags Rollins up, POWERBOMB through the Spanish desk!! Roman drags Rollins up and into the ring, builds speed, and he SPEARS Rollins!!! Cover, TWO?!?!?! HOW?!?! Roman is again beside himself, and Vegas is torn between the different chants and songs! Roman goes out to get Punk. “Who asked for a favor, huh!?” Roman drags Punk up, tosses him into the ring, and Roman storms around while Punk sputters. Roman clamps on the GUILLOTINE!! Heyman is distraught as Roman squeezes the air out of Punk! Roman even adds the body scissors! Punk fights, flails, and pushes through to a prawn hold! TWO!!!
Roman lets go, but Punk clamps back on! ANACONDA VICE!!! Roman endures, Heyman is still distraught, but Punk pulls on the hold! Rollins rolls back in, and he grabs Punk’s legs! Rollins steps through, flips Punk off, and turns over to get Punk in a SHARPSHOOTER!! Rollins uses Bret Hart’s move, making Punk the Stone Cold in this situation!

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