The Bloodline is here!

Sami Zayn, Solo Sikoa and the Usos are all united after defeating Kevin Owens, Drew McIntyre and the Brawling Brutes at WarGames! What do they have planned for Monday Night Raw?

 

Becky Lynch is here!

Speaking of WarGames, here comes The Man who finished it off for Team EST! Raw’s commercial free first hour is already Big Time as Becky heads to the ring. Fans are fired up for Becky as she gets the mic. “The Man has come around to Norfolk, Virginia~! Man, it feels so good to be back and once again say, welcome to Monday Night Raw! I missed you guys.” Fans chant, “Welcome Back!” Becky appreciates that, and says it feels good to be back. Now this doesn’t feel right, though> The Man of the People should be out there with the people! She wants to come say hi to the fans! She finds a fan with her shirt, as well as Norfolk 3:16.

Becky high-fives fans, especially one with a Seth Rollins shirt. Fans cheer for Becky as she goes up higher into the bleachers. Who is this in the yellow? Bobby. Fans cheer for Bobby now! Well, Bobby, after four months on the bench, coming back at WarGames was probably the most physical brutal way to come back, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. And who is this? Zachary! Well, Zachary, now that she IS back, she’ll tell him that she’s ready to go through hell, jump off cages and flatten fools, and take care of business! There’s a lot of business to be taken care of! Zach says that’s what the man does and that’s right!

But in the time she’s been gone, a lot of change has happened. A lot of new faces showed up, a lot of a familiar faces came back, and she’ll slap the heads off every one of ’em! It started on Friday with Bayley, and in Saturday at Survivor Series, and… Bayley heads out! Bayley says, “No no no! Y’know what, Becky?” Becky sings, “Here she comes to ruin the day~!” Bayley says when she saw Becky come out here, she thought Becky was feeling humbled since she’s out there with the peasants. But Becky went on and on and on! Bayley tells fans to shut up but they boo more. Becky talked about putting her body on the line for the people? UGH!

Isn’t that what Bayley has been doing? Has Becky not seen- But then fans chant for Becky and drowns her out! Oh c’mon! Becky had one brutal match and that’s how you treat her? But Bayley gets NO respect these last four months! Ladder Match, Last Woman Standing, WarGames, and yet these idiots have no appreciation for their Role Model. Becky says first off, Bayley, don’t call Bobby a peasant. Well Bob sucks! No he does not! Bayley’s reason for no respect is she kept losing! SHE’s the loser! But Bayley and her lackeys started it, Becky ended it, but if Bayley still wants to fight, then Becky will get in the ring and they’ll fight.

Big talk from the big man all the way over there! Becky asks Bobby if she should fight Bayley. Bobby says to go kick her butt! But then Sky & Kai come down from the steps! They mug Becky, even as Sky has a neck brace! Becky uses a fan sign to slap them all around! Bayley storms up, now it’s 3v1! They brawl into the concourse! Fans waiting over there cheer this brawl! DMG CTRL TOSS Becky into the merchandise area, but she throws things at them! She BASHES Sky & Kai with a chain necklace, but Bayley BASHES Becky with a Money in the Bank briefcase lunchboxes! Becky TOSSES Bayley into the table! The displays fall over!

Sky & Kai come back for more, Becky deals with them, but Bayley rains down fists! Becky kicks Bayley into the cameraman! The refs and security rush over to stop this but fans want to “Let Them Fight!” Becky and DMG CTRL still want after each other, how will this end now that it’s hit a new level of animosity?

Winners: The Judgment Day, by pinfall

Rhea redeems herself for her loss at WarGames, and she redeems the Judgment Day for falling short against the OC! Will this only be the beginning of the true war between these factions?

 

Backstage interview with The Street Profits.

Angelo Dawkins says it feels so good to be back! Byron Saxton surprises them and welcomes them back. Tonight, they’re set to take on the Alpha Academy, but how does it feel just to be back? As good as Byron looks in that suit right now. But it seems everything’s changed. Becky is back, Rey left, Theory lost his briefcase… But that changes now! The Profits are back in business! And the Profits are up and- “SHOOOOOSH~!” Chad Gable thought he never had to hear that catchphrase again. But while the Profits were “galivanting on their vacation,” Gable & Otis have been working, quietly becoming the best part of Monday Night Raw.

And this place has just generally been better without the Profits. But Gable isn’t the kind to raise problems, he has solutions! HE requested this match, and since his ideas are awesome, the match was approved. So tonight, the Academy puts the Profits on the shelf, for good! Oh…? Speaking of shelves, anyone ever told Gable he looks like the Elf on the Shelf? Where are you, Gable?! But the more things change, the more things stay the same. The Profits beat the Academy before, tonight will be no different. And why’s that? Because the Street Profits are up, and #WeWantTheSmoke! Now get outta here, elf! Will things really be the same between these teams later tonight?

 

The Bloodline heads to the ring!

Sami Zayn, Solo Sikoa, and the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions are, as Sami’s shirt says, “Feeling Ucey,” and they go to the ring together. They get the mics, and fans chant “UCEY! UCEY!” Jimmy has the mic to say, “The Bloodline is now in your city!” They raise their fingers and so do many of the fans. “WE THE ONES! WE THE ONES!” Fans also chant “SAMI USO!” Jey says on Saturday, it was war at WarGames. “Y’all saw that. It’s probably one of the worst matches we’ve ever been through in our careers. I think I broke my hand for real. But uh, you see who was left standing tall, right?” They all raise their fingers again.

Jimmy says for the first time ever, “there are no crack sin the Bloodline, baby! Yes, sir!” But someone must be mad. Kevin Owens, that is. Kevin’s mad cuz Sami Zayn is not his dog, he’s the Bloodline’s dog! “My dawg!” Fans cheer the secret handshake! Fans then return to chanting “UCEY! UCEY!” Sami says that for the past six months, Jimmy accepted him no matter what. Jimmy really has been Sami’s “Down since day one.” That means everything to Sami.  And Jey… Well, the last six months haven’t always been easy. Sami knows most of that time, Jey didn’t trust him. Sami knows Jey didn’t like him, either.

But at WarGames, “the way that you accepted me into this family… The way that you embraced me at the end of that match, that…! That! THAT! That was Ucey.” Fans chant “UCEY! UCEY!” again, and Sami wants Jey to know that here on out, any Bloodline business that they have to handle, Sami and Jey are on the same page. Sami offers a handshake, and Jey accepts it with a hug! Sami gets Jimmy to join the hug! Sami wants Solo to join in, and fans cheer Solo on. Jey and Jimmy tell their brother to join in, but then KEVIN OWENS appears! Sami tells Kevin to stop right there. “Before you do something stupid like come out here and try to fight me…”

Kevin says that isn’t why he’s here at all. Kevin says he’s actually here to tell Sami that he “gets it.” He completely understands why Sami did what he did on Saturday. Because how many times has Kevin done the exact same thing to Sami? How many times has Kevin betrayed Sami, stabbed him in the back, whatever you wanna call it, so Kevin gets it. He is actually not mad, he can’t blame Sami for that one bit. Kevin isn’t here to fight, it’s quite the opposite. Kevin can’t help but think about how, for 20 YEARS now, their careers have been linked to one another.

But after Saturday… Kevin doesn’t wanna fight Sami, team with him, ride to shows together, none of it. Kevin is just done with Sami. Kevin wants nothing to do with Sami. Sami says that’s fine. Because he feels exactly the same. Sami never wants to team with Kevin, never wants to fight Kevin again, and he’s fine never being in the same room as Kevin! Sami does NOT need Kevin anymore! He has family now. Yeah, well, Kevin is genuinely happy for Sami. Because finally, everyone here in the WWE Universe can finally see just how great Sami Zayn is. Kevin has known it for 20 years, Sami deserves to finally have this recognition. Kevin loves it.

“But Sami, here’s the thing. Doesn’t matter who many times they tell you you’re in the Bloodline, and it doesn’t matter how many times you call them family, just remember this: You’re not their real blood, and you never will be.” Fans are torn hearing that, but Jey says not to worry about that, he has this. Jey says Kevin is mad cuz he ain’t got no family. “But check this out, KO! If you got a problem with Sami Zayn, you got a problem with Main Event Jey Uso now. That’s on me!” Kevin says he has good news for Jey, then. Kevin said he was done with Sami Uso, but he’s not done with Jey! He’ll kick his ass any day of the week!

So why not meet back up later tonight and let’s see what happens?! Jey says cool! He pinned Kevin at WarGames, and he’ll pin Kevin’s ass tonight! Challenge accepted!! The Right Hand Man VS the Prizefighter, will Jey get Kevin on behalf of his new brother in arms?

 

Candice LeRae is back!

But as she heads to gorilla, Nikki Cross is watching. Cathy Kelley walks up to welcome Candice back, and asks how Candice is feeling going into a match against Dakota Kai. Candice says she hasn’t been here on Raw long, she was just keeping her head down and trying to get a lay of the and. But then DMG CTRL just attacked her, injured her, and maybe they thought she was a threat. She takes the mic to “reintroduce” herself: She’s Candice LeRae, the woman who will take Dakota OUT, tonight! Candice heads out, but will the Poison Pixie sting #CobraKai before getting stung herself?

 

Backstage interview with Matt Riddle & Elias.

Byron says they’ve had a successful tag match, but what has it been like teaming? The Bro says it’s awesome! It’s like they were teaming up for years! Elias hits the Drift Away, Riddle hit the Floating Bro, they got the 1-2-3! Does Elias remember that? Yes, it was only just last week. Right, that was awesome! Elias says yes, it is awesome. But while Elias sees himself as a solo artist, he has to admit that they made a great duo. Riddle says they should go after those tag titles! What’s Elias say? Elias never has had WWE gold… But speaking of, The Usos, with Sami & Solo, walk over! Jey says Elias never will have gold. They’re the twos, and #WeTheOnes!

Oh, is that right? Then why don’t they put their money where their mouths are and put those titles on the line. Any time, any place! YEET. The Bloodline heads out, Sami rolls his eyes at Elias & Riddle, but Solo stares them down. Riddle says he and Elias have this. Will The Drifter & The Bro have a smash hit on their hands already?

 

The Street Profits VS The Alpha Academy!

Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford bring back the red Solo cups, and they go through the crowd! They’re back, and are facing some familiar foes. Will it be like old times for the former tag team champions? Or will “Master Gable” have a winning game plan for him and his number one guy, Otis?

Raw returns and the teams sort out. Gable and Ford start, circle, tie up, and Gable wrenches an arm to a wristlock. Ford endures, rolls, rolls and handsprings to wave hi to then wrench back. Ford has the wristlock and he mocks Gable’s pain. Ford tells Otis that if he tags in, Ford will whoop his ass, too! Ford wrenches again, but Gable rolls, bridges, handsprings and spins to headlock, spin and drop toehold! Gable headlocks and says “A THANK YEW~!” Fans boo but Ford fights up. Gable tags Otis, Otis KNEES Ford low then CLUBS him down! Ford goes to ropes, Otis CLUBS away with big crossface forearms!

Gable talks up his number one guy, Otis puts Ford in the corner. Otis runs in but Ford dodges! Gable tags in, but Ford drop toeholds him into a headlock! Gable keeps his shoulder up, fights up, but Dawkins tags in. Ford whips, Dawkins CLOBBERS Gable! Dawkins clamps onto an armlock and he grinds Gable down. Gable endures, slips out and around to trip Dawkins! Gable facelocks, gator rolls, but Dawkins slips out to headlock. Gable powers Dawkins to a corner and powers out but Dawkins whips. Gable goes up and over, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Dawkins CLOBBERS Gable! Dawkins waistlocks, throws Gable, but Gable throws Dawkins!

Dawkins dodges, handsprings over, then arm-drags Gable! Gable arm-drags back but Dawkins DROPKICKS Gable down! Fans fire up over that exchange as Dawkins covers, TWO! Dawkins drags Gable up, wrenches, and tags Ford. They whip Gable, Ford LARIATS Gable now! Fans fire up as Ford flexes, but Otis runs in! Ford sends Otis out, then he sends Gable out onto Otis! The Profits build speed to DOUBLE TOPE CONJILO! Direct hit on Otis AND Gable, and fans fire up with the Profits while Raw goes picture in picture!

Fans cheer the Profits on and they wait on the Academy. Otis storms in but Ford dodges and mule kicks! Ford KICKS, ENZIGURIS, and Otis staggers around. Ford SCOOPS OTIS?!

Gable soaks up the heat while Otis runs and SPLASHES! Ford sputters while Otis soaks up the heat. Otis stands on Ford at the ropes! The ref counts, Otis steps away at 4, and then Otis drags Ford up on the apron. Ford GAMANGIRIS! But Ford steps into the WRECKER ELBOW! Gable soaks up the heat, Otis drags Ford up and puts him in the corner. Tag to Gable, and a feed to a CROSS CHOP! Cover, TWO! Gable taunts Dawkins then stalks Ford to ropes. Gable CHOKES Ford now, lets off as the ref counts, then brings Ford around. Gable snapmares Ford and clamps on a top wristlock.

Ford endures as Gable thrashes the arm. Ford fights up, Raw returns to single picture, but Gable wrangles Ford back down! “SHOOOOSH~!” Fans boo but Ford still endures.

Ford & Dawkins are back and it’s as if they never left! Will they be partying all the way back to the top of the WWE Tag Team Division?

 

Austin Theory is here!

And after that fast and furious Triple Threat, he is the NEW United States Champion! The Youngest Two-Time United States Champion Ever goes to the ring, he gets the mic, and fans boo while he says, “Who’s the kid now? All of you wanted to hold me down. You wanted to be the nail in the coffin to the end of my career. But it’s not gonna change the fact that all of you said that that kid had the worst MITB cash-in of all time. You all said that that kid was stupid. Well who looks stupid now?” Fans shout, “YOU~!” But Theory won’t ever be called a kid again after what he did at Survivor Series. He beat Seth Freakin’ Rollins AND the All Mighty Bobby Lashley at the same damn time!

“And that makes me a TWO-TIME United States Champion!” And to make it clear, he is no longer the next big this or that, he has arrived and is the Now and Forever of the WWE! He is the Face of Monday Night Raw! Fans boo but Theory says there’s something he’s been thinking about a lot lately. Ever since getting to the WWE, day one everyone has had a problem with him. “And why is that? One simple word: Jealousy! Because everybody wants to be Austin Theory! That’s right, everyone wants to BE Austin Theory! And all of you, you see the inevitable. I’m younger, I’m stronger, I’m better, and I am the unescapable. And the Austin Theory Era begins NOW!

“And I’ll tell you what else!” BURN IT DOWN~! Here comes Seth Rollins! Fans sing “OH~ OHH~ OHHH~!” as Rollins swaggers in a mess suit. Rollins gets in the ring, goes past Theory and gets himself a mic. Rollins throws off the sunglasses, and he stops Theory from saying anything to say, “Shut your mouth, and let them sing.” “OH~ OHH~ OHHH~!” Theory says, “What happens when someone so young, so talented, so far ahead of every single person in this entire industry makes the so-called, once-upon-a-time undisputed future look like the past?”

Rollins tells Theory, “You may have lucked your way into that United States Championship on Saturday, but that doesn’t change a damn thing! Because you know deep down in your soul, Monday nights belong to me!” Fans cheer that, and continue to sing, “OH~ OHH~ OHHH~!” Rollins looks at Theory, and at the belt, and says, “Before I go, I’ve only got one thing left to say to you. Congratulations… kid.” Fans cheer as Rollins asks Theory what’s wrong. Does he not like that? Does he want to hit Rollins? Does Theory wanna fight Rollins?! Well they ain’t gotta wait! They can do it here and now! “Gimme your best shot, kid.”

Fans sing, Rollins waits for Theory to do something, but Theory says, “I’ll fight you. But on the champ’s time.” Fans boo as Theory says, “I’m not your damn kid.” Theory pushes past Rollins and Rollins laughs. When and where will Theory and the Visionary fight for the gold?

 

WWE Investigates returns!

Byron Saxton says, “Over the past few months, Dexter Lumis has stalked The A-Lister, The Miz. With a series of mental and physical attacks. Johnny Gargano has come forward claiming to have a bomb shell regarding this explosive situation.” Johnny Wrestling revealed it was all a scam cooked up by The Miz! Miz claimed Gargano’s interview was completely false and a blatant smear job! But then Gargano revealed a Hollywood producer Miz met with was really a private investigator with hidden camera! Miz’s defense was shot full of holes, and he was exposed as holding out on Lumis.

So this all comes to an end in Lumis VS Miz, and if Lumis wins, he gets paid everything he’s owed on top of that WWE contract! It will be Anything Goes, will nothing stop the Tortured Artist from exacting both revenge and achieving redemption?

Raw returns and Byron interviews Miz on his way to gorilla. They’re moments away from the match, and Miz has Byron save his questions. Wait, is that bag full of the money owed? Yes, but this doesn’t matter, because that match isn’t happening! Miz reinjured his hand! Competing in this condition would go against any medical physician’s advice. But Adam Pearce walks in and calls Miz’s bluff. We know Miz isn’t hurt. How can he say that! Because that’s not even the right hand. Yeah, it’s his left. Not what Pearce meant. And not the point! Miz is too hurt to compete in any match, let alone Anything Goes! That’s a free for all! Whose dumb idea was that, anyway?!

Pearce tells Miz that whatever he says will not stop this match from happening, and it is happening tonight. Fine, Miz will compete. But let it be known that Lumis’ hopes of ever becoming a WWE superstar end tonight! And before the show is over, Pearce will be hearing from Miz’s lawyer! Miz heads out, bag of money in hand and bandages all around the other. Will Miz end up needing bandages for some real injuries after tonight?

Anything Goes: Dexter Lumis VS The Miz!

Miz makes his entrance, but shakes his head. He turns around, but Adam Pearce is there! Miz is still aginst this, but he says whatever happens is on Pearce. But Miz looks back and Lumis has crept closer. Miz yells at Pearce, then turns around, and Lumis is gone!? Pearce takes the bag of money, Miz looks around and Lumis CLOBBERS him from outta nowhere! Lumis drags Miz up and puts him in the ring. Lumis slides in, but into a BASEMENT DDT! Miz got the drop on Lumis and now he feels confident! The bell rings and this match is on.

Miz kicks Lumis away, but Lumis dodges the haymaker to THESZ PRESS and fast hands! Lumis drops a forearm and Miz bails out! Lumis slithers out to DECK Miz! Lumis puts Miz back in, and then on the apron, to SLAM him against the LED! And then SLAMS Miz again! And again! Miz flops down, Norfolk chants for tables, but Lumis RAMS Miz into barriers!

Miz full nelsons, but Lumis pries free to SHOVE Miz off and into barriers! Miz flops over into the timekeeper’s area and fans fire up while Raw goes to break.

Raw returns and Miz is tightening a literal vice on Lumis’ head! Lumis endures, but he just stares Miz down! Lumis stands up and stares Miz eye to eye and that scares Miz! Miz asks, “What is wrong with you?!” Lumis DECKS Miz, then takes off the vice! Lumis hits Miz with a SPINEBUSTER! Fans fire up as Lumis stalks Miz to ropes. They go outside, Lumis stalks Miz to the timekeeper’s area and into the crowd. Miz throws trash but Lumis doesn’t shrug. Lumis CLUBS Miz, brings him around, and aims for the tech area! Miz knees low and RAMS Lumis into barriers! And more barriers! Miz angles the tech area screen and chants for “MIZ TV!”

Miz brings Lumis around but Lumis knees low. Lumis RAMS Miz into the TV! Lumis then brings Miz around and puts him on the table! Fans fire up and Lumis goes to the barriers. Lumiz climbs up and takes aim, and he says he’s gonna make it rain! FOLEY ELBOW through the table!! Norfolk loses its mind as both men are down in the wreckage! Lumis stands up while Miz sputters and coughs. Lumis hoists Miz up and carries him back to ringside! He dumps Miz down, then pushes him into the ring. Miz crawls but Lumis just stalks him again. Lumis drags Miz up, reels him in, but Miz pulls off a buckle pad to hit Lumis with!

Lumis staggers, Miz runs in, but into a clinch! Miz elbows free to then full nelson, but Lumis arm-drags free! Miz ends up in the corner, Lumis runs in, Miz sends him into the bare buckles! Roll up, with feet on the ropes! TWO!! Lumis survives and Miz is furious! Miz fires up but fans boo. “MASSIVE! BALLS!!” But Lumis kips up! SIDE EFFECT! And THE SILENCE!!! Miz taps, Lumis wins!!!

Winner: Dexter Lumis, by submission (wins the money and the contract)

Pearce presents the contract and welcomes Lumis to Raw as he signs on the dotted line. Fans fire up and Lumis has the bag of money! “You Deserve It!” Lumis pulls the money out to give a kid in the front row $100! And the same for a few other kids in the front row! This was never about the money but the principle! But then Miz CLOBBERS Lumis! Miz steals the money back, and even snatches one kid’s $100 bill! Fans boo, but then a SUPERKICK from Johnny Gargano takes Miz out! Gargano grabs the bag, and he gives that kid the $100 bill back! Lumis and Gargano thumbs up. Will things start going Lumis’ way now that he’s a true WWE superstar?

Candice drags Dakota up, bumps her off buckles, then shouts at Iyo & Bayley. Pearce tells Iyo & Bayley to go to the back, and Candice goes back to Dakota. Dakota ROCKS Candice, CLUBS her, but Candice trips Dakota up! Candice stomps away in the corner but lets off as the ref counts.

Candice taunts Bayley, but officials keep Bayley & Iyo heading up the ramp. Pearce tells Candice to let them handle DMG CTRL, so she goes back to the ring. Candice keeps glaring at Bayley, but as Raw returns to single picture, Dakota ROCKS and BOOTS Candice down! Candice goes to ropes, Dakota stomps away on her!

Raw returns and both women are down in the ring now. Dakota sits Candice up for Kawada Kicks! But Candice blocks one to ROCK Dakota back! Candice fires off forearms and CHOPS over and over, then fires off fast hands in the corner! And again! Fans fire up as Candice stomps a mudhole in!

Candice came back from that beating and just beat Dakota! Is this a sign that Damage CTRL will not take control of Raw?

 

The Bloodline prepares backstage.

Jey Uso does push-ups to warm-up, and he has Jimmy and Sami cheering him on. Jey’s loose and ready, but will he handle Kevin Owens? Or will Kevin #JustKeepFighting?

 

Backstage interview with Asuka, Alexa Bliss & Bianca Belair.

White Rabbit glitch… But Cathy Kelley asks the three how they feel just after their WarGames win. Physically, they’ve been better. But mentally, they’re good because it’s all over with. Bianca and Bayley had been going after each other for months, because it started at SummerSlam, but ended at Survivor Series. But DMG CTRL thought they could take out Becky and take over Raw, but Bianca held it down and called Becky. Every single plan that DMG CTRL had backfired. So now, Bianca is very happy with her team, because her girls did what they had to do to finally end this. Asuka agrees, and says in Japanese that sure it hurts, but it was all worth it!

Alexa… is distracted. She snaps out of it and says Bianca was right, Becky was a great call. Is everything alright with Alexa mentally as well as physically…?

 

BREAKING NEWS for next week!

Since the challenge was made and accepted, THE Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships are on the line next week! The Usos take on Elias & Riddle, will Jimmy & Jey make it past 500 days as champions? Or has their longest tag title reign ever be no longer?

The Bloodline is beside themselves! Despite all he went through on Saturday, and despite all he went through tonight, the Prizefighter comes out on top! Will Kevin continue to #StunTheWorld and find his way back to a match with the Tribal Chief?


My Thoughts:

A great Raw to follow up Survivor Series, and a great commercial free first hour. Great promo from Becky with the fans, as well as a brawl with DMG CTRL. This definitely fits what I felt in Becky and Bayley feuding, and I’m pretty sure this will determine a #1 contender to face Bianca at the Royal Rumble. Bianca, Asuka and Alexa had a good promo, and clearly Alexa is still likely to join in on the story building with Bray Wyatt. White Rabbit glitch during the promo, she’ll definitely “relapse” into being spooky Sister Abigail Alexa, and maybe we’ll get something more like Alexa at last WrestleMania with the dark crown and all that.

Good stuff from Judgment Day and OC. Rhea VS Mia turning into a Mixed 8 Tag was an interesting move, and clearly things aren’t done in this feud. I suppose that’s fine, but I can’t be sure what the endgame is. They keep teasing co-ed interaction with Rhea and Mia each getting their shots in on the guys, maybe a real co-ed rules match is what they’re after? Really good return promo and match from The Street Profits, and of course they win in their return. It’s hard to say where the Profits are going next, but all tag teams should be aiming for the tag titles. Elias & Riddle challenging the Usos already makes me think that’s just for Elias to turn on Riddle.

Great return match for Candice against Dakota, and I do like that they kept Bayley & Iyo from being ringside because they’re (in kayfabe) not cleared to compete. Iyo wearing a neck brace was a nice touch to that, too. Candice getting the win was good stuff, but I think Nikki Cross might be her real feud after spotting her in the background. And great stuff out of the Miz VS Lumis story. I noticed Miz was faking the wrong hand, which was hilarious, and it was great that Pearce pointed it out. For “Anything Goes,” what we got on TV was rather tame, but I did like them thinking outside the box with that vice.

Naturally Lumis wins to have the vice and the money, and how great that a few kids got $100. Granted, a bit of a shame that not all the kids up front got $100 but who knows how much money was even really in that bag. But this is far from the blow-off, and with Gargano still getting involved, there has to be something building so that more of The Way is working together on Raw. Theory and Rollins had a great promo together, and that is clearly the 1v1 feud with no Lashley or even Mustafa Ali getting in on things. Rollins VS Theory 1v1 will make for a great Royal Rumble match, or even just a great match on Raw to get some great ratings.

And speaking of a great match, great stuff out of the Bloodline and Kevin Owens. Great promo where Kevin and Sami certainly say they’re no longer friends after the TWENTY YEARS together, but with these two, you never know. Kevin VS Jey was so good, and Kevin winning is great stuff. I thought in WarGames, there was going to be a point where Sami ends up torn. Maybe if Kevin keeps having matches like this and it’s up to Sami to screw him over again, that could be the pivotal moment where Sami can’t bring himself to do it. They’ve been doing such a great job with the story, I have no doubt they’ll pull this one off.

My Score: 8.6/10

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.

It was a generational battle, it was one for the ages, and it is Tiffany’s defining moment! No crown for the Queen, is Tiffany the new face of the WWE Women’s Division?

 

The Hall of Fame Class of 2025 is on stage!

The fans cheer for the Immortal Moment of Bret Hart VS Stone Cold Steve Austin, as well as Typhoon and the family of the late-great Earthquake, Michelle McCool, and of course… TRIPLE H! The Game makes his entrance again, and the fans cheer as he shakes hands with all the legends and friends on stage.

 

Triple Threat: CM Punk w/ Paul Heyman VS Seth Rollins VS Roman Reigns!

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

Rollins is ready to #SailIntoTheBlack as he wears an all black robe with a wild collar, and then uses a flamethrower! The tron changes to reflect how Rollins is ready to #BurnItDown, but then the lights go out…? Because surprise, Rollins took off the black robe to reveal his shining white suit underneath! The fans sing “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” and they max out the sound level meter! But then Roman Reigns makes his entrance and the singing changes to chants of “O T C! O T C!” The Tribal Chief needs nothing more than to lift his finger and set off the pyro before going to the ring. Overhead, the extra trons show off the many legends of the Anoa’i Dynasty as Roman walks past.

Roman gets his second round of pyro, and that leaves one last entrance. “Don’t let these tattoos fool you, I’m a great man of discipline. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t do drugs. I’m straightedge.” CM Punk repeats the words from one of his very first WWE vignettes. “My addiction is wrestling.” This Fire Burns, “you don’t have the fire inside that I have. I have won championships, I have made friends, and I have made enemies. Tonight is MY night. Tonight is MY main event. Pressure is my playground. My fire has always been burning. My addiction is wrestling.” The fans chant for him, and Punk makes his entrance to Living Color playing Cult of Personality LIVE!

The fans sing along, Jelly Roll and George Kittle rock out, and Punk even joins in to get a selfie video with the band. Punk then kneels down, Heyman by his side, to say, “IT’S CLOBBERIN’ TIME~!” The song wraps up and the fans chant for “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” even harder now as he stands on the corner. Heyman is technically in Punk’s corner, but he stands about halfway between Punk and Roman, communicating his conflicted feelings about this situation. Roman also finds himself in an awkward situation, because who is he supposed to hand the ula fala to? He simply sets it in the corner, as he is not happy with Heyman.

The bell rings and the fans fire up already! Rollins smirks, Punk grins, but Roman frowns as they all stare down. Rollins suggests he and Roman could work together for a minute, but Roman shakes his head no. Punk says y’know what, they should settle this. Punk goes outside to talk with Heyman for some “advice,” but Punk is already playing mind games. Rollins tells Roman that Punk doesn’t deserve to be here, he shouldn’t be here, so they can get rid of him together. Roman UPPERCUTS Rollins down! Roman bumps Rollins off buckles, then off more buckles! Roman climbs up, rains down fists, and the fans count along.

Punk jumps in and CLUBS Roman at eight of ten. Punk then CHOPS Rollins! Punk CHOPS Rollins again, then goes back for Roman. Punk KICKS Roman, but Roman ROCKS Punk! Punk ROCKS Roman, ROCKS him again, then whips. Roman LEAPING LARIATS Punk down! Then he LEAPING LARIATS Rollins down! Roman LARIATS Punk up and out of the ring! The fans fire up as Roman sees Rollins is on the apron. Roman goes outside, runs in around the way, and hits a classic DRIVE-BY DROPKICK! Roman snarls, and he SMACKS Punk off the apron! And SMACKS him again! Roman asks Heyman, “Is this your guy?!”

Roman whips Punk but Punk reverses to POST Roman! The fans fire up and Rollins DIVES! Direct hit and Roman hits barriers! Rollins then RAMS Roman into more barriers! And then into the steel steps! The steps go tumbling away and the fans sing for Rollins. But then Rollins looks across the way to see Punk. They both run up, and they brawl! The fans fire up and Punk THROWS Rollins into barriers! Rollins still drags Punk down, they scrap, and Rollins kicks Punk away. Punk comes back, the brawl continues, and Punk LARIATS Rollins into the crowd! The fans fire up as Punk hops up onto the barriers, to AX HANDLE Rollins down!

Punk grabs a chair and JAMS Rollins with it! And SMACKS him with it! That memorabilia just got even more valuable! Rollins uses a stanchion to JAM Punk up! And then Rollins uses the trash can to SMACK Punk! Punk falls, the fans rally and duel, and Rollins SMACKS the can on Punk’s back! And then on the back of Punk’s head! Rollins sits Punk up, tells him he’s done, but Punk kicks low! Punk reels Rollins in and snap suplexes Rollins onto the trash can! Rollins writhes but Punk brings him back up. Punk fires hands, Rollins fires back, and they brawl further along the way. Rollins shoves a trash can into Punk, but Punk CHUCKS it at Rollins’ head!

Punk brings Rollins back towards ringside and the brawling continues. But Roman finds them, and he FLIES into the crowd! The fans lose their minds as Roman wipes Punk and Rollins out! Roman rains down fists, then he TOSSES Punk onto the Hydration Station! Roman drags Rollins up to TOSS him onto Punk! Both men flop to the floor, and now fans want tables! Roman looks at the special edition announce desks and says let’s do it! He clears off the Spanish announce desk, drags Rollins up, and he SMACKS Rollins off the steel steps! 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.

My Score: 9.4/10
