Andrade speaks.
“I am a third-generation luchador. I never had a choice. My grandfather, my dad, my uncles, cousins, my wife, are wrestlers. This is my destiny. However, my family, my coaches, my friends, had many expectations. But I didn’t let that stop me. Look at me. Who I am, where I am. I define my destiny. I control my destiny. Realizing everything I have achieved, everything I am going to achieve. My destiny is here in the WWE. The Era of Andrade El Idolo has begun.” Then what is the first move of The Idol on this Road to WrestleMania?
Cody goes to the medic’s room.
Adam Pearce checks on him. Pearce got Jimmy & Solo outta here, hit them with one hell of a fine. But whatever Cody needs, just tell Pearce. Cody says he’s fine, so Pearce has everyone give Cody some space. But then Seth Rollins walks over. Rollins takes off the sunglasses to look Cody in the eyes. Then he pats Cody on the knee and heads out. Is Cody going to accept Rollins’ offer of being the shield on this Road to WrestleMania?
Women’s Elimination Chamber Last Chance Battle Royal!
Not only are those who lost the qualifying matches (Mia Yim, Alba Fyre, Zelina Vega, Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark) in this match, but so is pretty much every woman on Raw and SmackDown who weren’t in qualifying matches.

Winner: Raquel Rodriguez
The fans are thunderous for Big Mami Cool going on to Elimination Chamber! Will this comeback story continue all the way down the Road to WrestleMania to face whoever is Women’s World Champion?
Jey Uso speaks.
“Anaheim, California, Jey Uso is now in your city! And tonight, the wait is over, Uce. Tonight, I bring down the empire, right? Tonight, I end the reign of the longest IC Champion in WWE history, Uce. So Gunther, allow me to reintroduce myself. They call me UCE, OOH~ my God, I am the new Intercontinental Champion. YEET.” Main Event Jey is in tonight’s main event, will he finally hold gold that’s all his own?
Rhea Ripley and Nia Jax sit down for an interview.
In different locations for obvious reasons, the Eradicator and Irresistible Force are both asked by Michael Cole about the physicality, and what they think going into this match. Rhea will be in her home country, does she have butterflies? No, she has worked for this, wanted this, and this is the first time she gets to compete in Australia as a WWE superstar. The last time she competed in Australia, she was on the independents, and that was seven years ago. Back then, she just wanted to fit in, please people, do what she was told, and wasn’t really comfortable in her own skin. There were times she even wanted to quit.
But she had a talk with herself and reminded herself who the hell she was. Rhea had to remind herself that she didn’t want to be like everyone else, she wanted to prove the doubters wrong, and that she is Rhea Bloody Ripley, and that she was the most dominant woman in the WWE. Nia mockingly says, “Aww, that’s so cute.” Nia tells “Mami” that Nia is twice her size with three times the talent. But this is so good that this is in Rhea’s homeland. Because when Nia squashes Rhea again, Mami will go home crying to her mommy.
Rhea says Nia can talk all she wants, and attack from behind all she wants, but in the end, when Nia’s in Perth, Australia, face to face with Rhea, and she hears everyone screaming for Mami, even Nia will crumble. All Nia’s momentum is going to fade away into nothing. And her nightmares will become reality when she realizes she’s just not good enough. So see you in Perth. Rhea gets up and leaves, Nia seethes. Two forces of nature are on a collision course, who will survive on the Road to WrestleMania?
Raw presents Truthline: The Truth About The Judgment Day.
Jackie Redmond starts off with, “R-Truth and The Judgment Day, an unlikely pairing whose relationship status has always been… complicated. Was R-Truth ever really in? At times, it appeared to be a match made in heaven. Until it became a match made in hell. Earlier today, I went one-on-one in an exclusive interview with R-Truth to discuss his tumultuous relationship with The Judgment Day.”
Jackie and Truth were walking outside and she knew this was a complicated situation for him. Please take us all the way back to the beginning, the first time Truth met the Judgment Day. When he first met them, their smiles lit up the room. Footage replays of Truth just randomly being in the Judgment Day clubhouse, getting powdered sugar from the jellyrolls all over the place. Truth says it was special. Like the first time John Cena put on a pair of jorts. And it is clear this is an emotional relationship, but how much of what’s gone on does Truth blame on Priest? Priest did say “Everybody loves R-Truth! Except me.”
Footage of Priest throwing Truth all over the place, and even commentary wondering why they were so against having Truth in the group. Truth says Damian broke his heart. Truth hasn’t cried since much since the finale of This is Us. Or when the ducks left Tony Soprano. Priest was Truth’s ducks. Okay… Jackie appreciates Truth’s vulnerability and being so candid. She has one last question: It is obvious Truth’s loyalty was genuine, but after everything he’s been through, will he ever be able to let anyone in again? Truth says that this must be how Genuine felt when he wrote Pony.
But Truth has new friends: HBK, Shawn Michaels; The Game, Triple H; aka, DX! Of course he is mistaken, it’s Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa, aka DIY. But Truth says they’ll show Judgment Day you can’t bully people, can’t silence people, and cannot Nick Mysterio locked away with no access to the internet! And they’ll show them that tonight. Jackie thanks Truth for his time and Truth says Live, Laugh, Love. Will Truth at least get one thing right in that he, The Miz & DIY will teach Judgment Day a lesson?
Michael Chandler is here!
The UFC Lightweight Champion of the world says what’s up to Anaheim, and says we are in the presence of the most entertaining UFC fighter on the planet! Now there’s a man from Ireland who has been making him wait way too long for a fight. And he still has one dude on his mind! CONOR MCGREGOR! Get your candy ass back into the octagon, they’ve got unfinished business! God Bless, see you at the top!
Chad Gable speaks.
Master Gable calls out Ivar for this mission he and Sarah Logan have been on in tearing down the Alpha Academy piece by piece. They pick on Tozawa, they pick on Maxxine, and they even managed to slip past the number one guy, Otis. Gable puts an end to that momentum tonight and builds his own. It’s WrestleMania Season, so time to get serious. Ivar, leave Sarah in the back while he leaves his crew in the back, too. Tonight, it’s about Chad Gable.
Ivar responds.
“The gods demand punishment. The gods demand pain! The gods demand that our raid come to a glorious and inevitable end! I’ve vanquished every member of the Alpha Academy, and now the gods turn their gaze to the head of the bow. Chad Gable, I accept your challenge for singles competition. But beware! The gods have chosen our path, and it goes straight through you!”
The War Beard is ready to fight Master Gable 1v1, but who will still be standing by the end?
8 Man Tag: The Judgment Day VS The Awesome Truth & #DIY!
We just heard from Truth about this situation, and now he puts action to his words! But will Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Dominik Mysterio & JD McDonagh put him down once and for all? Or will The Miz, Gargano & Ciampa help Truth not only see the light, but see a huge victory over his “former friends?”
The teams sort out and Miz starts against JD McDonagh. The bell rings and the Irish Ace fires off on the Hollywood A-Lister! JD gets around to back suplex but Miz lands out! Miz kicks a leg out, but Finn takes a swipe! Miz stays clear to give “It Kicks” over and over on JD! Miz winds up, Finn barks at him, so Miz DECKS him! Fans fire up but JD avoids the kick! JD and Miz brawl, everyone else rushes in and the fans fire up! Miz, Truth & DIY TOSS the Judgment Day out and tell them to “SUCK IT!” Judgment Day is furious and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Dom has Ciampa down with a chinlock. Ciampa fights up, reaches out, but Dom keeps him from the DIY corner. Ciampa throws body shots but Dom CLUBS him down. Tag to Finn, they mug Ciampa, and Finn ELBOWS Ciampa in the head! Finn CHOPS, whips, but Ciampa ducks ‘n’ dodges then tags Gargano. Ciampa then slides under Finn, CHOPS him, then Gargano CLUBS him! JAWBREAKER and wrench, to a LARIAT! The fans fire up while Finn flounders. Gargano drags Finn up but Finn RAMS him into the Judgment Day corner! Priest tags in as Finn RAMS Gargano more, then Priest ROCKS Gargano!
Priest reels Gargano in for a short arm LARIAT, then he stares down Truth. Priest whips Gargano hard into buckles, then tags Finn. Priest sets Gargano out for Finn to slingshot STOMP! Finn taunts Truth, drags Gargano up, and CLUBS him into a chinlock. Finn grinds Gargano down but fans boo. Gargano endures, even as Finn shifts and almost has a Bully Choke. Gargano fights up as the fans rally, and the fans chant “We Want Truth!” Finn tags JD in, but Gargano snap suplexes free! And he trips JD! Gargano TOSSES Finn, dodges JD, tag to Truth!

Backstage interview with Sami Zayn.
Jackie Redmond is now with The Great Liberator and brings up his loss to Shinsuke Nakamura, with Drew McIntyre being a part of that. How does he respond? Sami says he’s been thinking about it a lot, almost to the point of obsession. And Sami’s made a decision, a hard one, but he feels he have to hit the pause button with McIntyre. Sami’s been down this road before with this kind of obsession, and Sami knows how he gets. He gets fixated on one thing or one person, and he gets stuck. He can’t move forward, can’t see what’s in front of him, and he can’t do that again, not for WrestleMania season.
Sami knows that there is a path. He doesn’t know what it is, but it will present itself, so he has to be there mentally to see it when it comes his way. He knows that sounds crazy, maybe delusional, after losing and facing adversity. But he did not get this far by not trusting his gut, and he feels it when he knows there is a path. And not only to go to WrestleMania, but to do something historic, to cement what he is saying about being a contender! Sami knows he will be a champion again. But when will that time come? Will it be in time for WrestleMania 40?
Becky Lynch is here!
The fans fire up as Raw enters the Big Time! Becky gets the mic and hears the fans chanting for her. Becky says, “The Man has come around to Anaheim! Wow, wow, you guys have been an amazing crowd tonight. And I’ve been lucky enough in my career that I’ve gotten to do some amazing things. So much so, that there’s not a lot of new things for me anymore. Well, except the hat. The hat is new. Do you like the hat?” Fans cheer her hat, so the hat stays. But Becky knows that in five days, for the first time in her career, she steps inside the Elimination Chamber, and with the need to win so that she can face Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship.
Now, Rhea and Becky have been dancing around each other the last year or so, having uncomfortably long stare downs at random intervals, all prolonging the inevitable, and the inevitable is that Mami and The Man will collide. And when they inevitably do, it will inevitably be the fight of their lives! The fans like the sound of that. Becky says she and Rhea both live for this, both love this, but how both of them have been living this has been different. For the last year, Rhea has been front and center for everything, she is the talk of the town. She has been riding a wave of momentum that comes around once in a lifetime.
Rhea’s also been propped up by her band of merry men, the Judgment Day. Fans boo that, and Becky says, “Those Truth Haters.” But then there’s Becky. Fans cheer, and Becky says she is the biggest threat to Rhea’s championship who has been hiding in plain sight. Becky’s been fighting anyone and everyone who wants a go, propping up this division! And Becky can confidently say that at this very moment, she’s the best she’s ever bene. Fans cheer that, too!
Becky continues with the flipside of that. On the flipside of Becky being the very best she’s ever been, so is everyone else. So in five days, stepping inside the Chamber, Becky does that with five of WWE’s most promising stars: Liv Morgan; Bianca Belair; Raquel Rodriguez; Naomi; and Tiffany Stratton. While Becky doesn’t have anything against any of these women- Well, Tiffany’s kinda annoying. And while Becky has beaten most of them, it was never inside the confines of that cage of steel and glass with the ultimate prize on the line, WrestleMania hanging in the balance. Becky says she has worked too hard- Wait! Here comes Liv!
Liv has a mic and tells Becky, “I’m sorry to interrupt. But before I get started, I just wanted to say, I’m a big fan of the hat.” But what Liv isn’t a fan of is having to sit in the back and listen to Becky explain why Becky is the one to defeat Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania. Liv joins Becky in the ring and says that Becky wants to prove she’s the best. And Liv gets that, that’s very Becky of Becky. But Liv doesn’t really care about who is the best. This is about revenge! This is about redemption! This is about Liv’s life! Fans cheer, and Liv says here’s a little story. Liv and Rhea used to be tag team partners, were a great team, but then Rhea turned on Liv.
That’s okay, because Liv did move on, found success with other partners, like Raquel Rodriguez, and they became TWO-TIME Women’s Tag Team Champions. At least, until Rhea came out, cost them the titles, and then here’s where things get really crazy. Exactly a week after that, Rhea came out to injure Liv and cost Liv six MONTHS of her career, when Liv was at her very best! So while Liv has Becky here, she just wants to remind Becky that Liv was the very last person to defeat Rhea Ripley. And if after all of that- Raquel comes out! Raquel says chicas, they’re both making great points, they really are.
But it seems they’re both entirely focused on Rhea Ripley. After Chamber, who knows who the champion will be! It could be Rhea, but it could be Nia. And Raquel knows one thing for sure, there is only one woman big enough and strong enough to take on either one of them, and that’s Raquel! You saw what she did in the battle royal, right? WAIT! Here’s Naomi! The fans fire up as Becky welcomes Naomi back, and “to this tea party we’re apparently having.” Naomi thanks The Man, and asks, “What’s up, Raw?” Naomi joins the others in the ring and says she didn’t come back to just come back. She came back with a whole new purpose.
See, Naomi’s made a name for herself both in and out of the WWE. This go-around is way bigger than that for her. Naomi is here to climb back up to the top, because that is where she belongs now more than ever. But then “It’s Tiffy Time~!” Becky can’t believe Tiffany Stratton is here now. And Tiff says, “Um, excuse me, it’s Tiffy Time.” Naomi says she’s interrupting Glow Time. Tiff tells Naomi that while she was out there trying to make a name for herself, to which Naomi says, “And did.” Tiff says Naomi left an empty space. The only space Tiff is concerned about is being the Center of the Universe.
“And besides, nobody cares about the past. And looking at all of you, that is all I see.” Fans boo but Tiff says been there, done that, the future is her and her name is- The EST is here! The fans fire up as Bianca says okay, Tiff, she might be new and all, which explains why she doesn’t know what running her mouth gets her. Bianca says don’t get it twisted, she is the EST, and has been at the Tiffy Top for a very long time. And at Elimination Chamber, Tiff finds out she will never be her, do it like her, or be better than her. Now there is one thing that Bianca has done that no one else here has, and that is win the Chamber.
And this year, Bianca will continue her WrestleMania UN-DE-FEA-TED streak! Fans cheer, and Bianca says respectfully, if she has to, she’ll pin Becky, Raquel, Liv, Naomi and definitely Tiff. Because you can’t spell WrestleMania without E S T! The fans cheer, but Tiff tells Bianca that she is so last year. No, no, like literally. She peaked last year! Girl… Uh-uh. Tiff got here on Tuesday. Liv agrees, but then Tiff sucker punches her! Liv and Tiff brawl, and the others figure why not. Becky goes after Bianca and that leaves Raquel to fight Naomi! Fans fire up as things go to corners, Tiff and Liv fall out of the ring, but NIA GETS IN!
Nia CLOBBERS Bianca and Becky, then SPLASHES Raquel! Naomi fires hands but Nia whips her, fireman’s carries, and SAMOAN DROPS! Liv and Tiff are on the ramp but Nia goes after them, too! Nia SHOVES Tiff, then fireman’s carries Liv! Nia POSTS Liv, then catches Tiff to TOSS her! Fans boo but Nia laughs as she gets back in the ring, to CLOBBER Bianca! Nia soaks up the heat, then she hits a LEG DROP on Raquel! Becky runs up, but into a HEADBUTT! HIP ATTACK for Naomi! And then LEG DROP for Liv! And then a LEG DROP for Becky! Nia sends a message to Rhea, will there be nothing to stop this Irresistible Force?
Gunther speaks.
“Tonight is the greatest night of Jey Uso’s illustrious career. Because tonight he can fulfill his big dream of becoming a singles champion in WWE. Now Jey, let me reintroduce myself. I am Der Ring General, Gunther, the longest reigning and greatest Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion of all time. And tonight, when that bell rings, I’ll make you understand that you do not belong in the main event. Jey, I’m afraid you’ll have to keep on dreaming.” Gunther is ready for the main event, but will he (not) be ready for Main Event Jey?
Shinsuke Nakamura speaks.
“Sami… Sami Zayn. You want to be a contender? First of all, fighters fight. True fighters don’t whine to everyone and try to get a spotlight. You want a spotlight? I’ll give you one. If you think you’re an underdog, I’ll make sure you stay that way. By defeating you again, by breaking you again, and by dragging you to the very bottom. Then you can bask in everyone’s sympathy. But I will show them that their contender is a pretender! You want more Shinsuke? Anytime, anywhere.” The King of Strong Style is not done with his old rival, will Sami even make it to WrestleMania at this rate?
Ivar VS Chad Gable!
No Sarah Logan communing with the Norse gods, no Otis, Maxxine or Tozawa. This is just about The War Beard battling the Alpha Academy’s fearless leader and who is the better man. Who will still be standing after the raid passes through Anaheim?
The bell rings, Gable rushes in, but Ivar BOOTS him down! Gable flounders, Ivar brings him up to CLOBBER him! Ivar then goes up a corner, but Gable runs up! Ivar shoves him away, but then Gable ROLLING KICKS Ivar to the floor! Fans fire up as Gable climbs the corner, and SUPER CROSSBODIES! Down goes Ivar and Gable returns into the ring. “A THANK YEW~!” The fans cheer, Gable goes back out and runs back in, only for Ivar to TOSS him into the timekeeper’s area! Gable lands on his feet, ROCKS Ivar in return, then goes up the barriers. But Ivar sweeps the legs and Gable hits barriers on the way down!
Ivar hauls Gable up, to BARRIER BOMB!! Gable tumbles down and Ivar seethes while Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Gable brawls with Ivar on top of a corner. Ivar scoops, but Gable SUPER ARM-DRAG COUNTERS! Cover, TWO!! Ivar is still in this but Gable gets back up. Gable fires knees and an UPPERCUT, then throat chops! Ivar swings, misses, and Gable mule kicks! Gable runs, but Ivar FLAPJACKS him! Ivar underhooks, TIGER DRIVER! Cover, TWO!! Gable survives and Ivar seethes. Ivar waits on Gable, runs up, but Gable ducks the leg lariat! Ivar is caught up, Gable CHOP BLOCKS the other leg! Gable hurries to waistlock, lifts, but Ivar elbows free. Ivar reels Gable back in, hauls him up, but Gable sunset flips it! TWO!!
Gable has the ANKLE LOCK!! The fans fire up as Ivar flails! Ivar rolls, BOOTS Gable away, and Gable tumbles out of the ring. Gable returns, ducks ‘n’ dodges to CROSSBODY Ivar and himself up and out to the floor! The fans fire up as Gable hurries to bring Ivar up. But Ivar RAMS Gable into the LED apron! Ivar runs up, but Gable dodges and Ivar splashes the LED! The fans fire up as Gable hauls Ivar up, but his back won’t let him suplex! HEEL KICK OF DOOM! Gable is down, but Ivar puts him in the ring at 6 of 10! Ivar climbs a corner, aims, and FLYING SEATED SENTONS!! Cover, TWO?!?! Gable survives and Ivar is furious!
Anaheim fires up again as Gable stirs. Ivar goes up the corner again, to DOOMSAULT but he FLOPS as Gable moves!! Gable hurries to waistlock again! The fans fire up as Gable deadlifts for the GERMAN SUPLEX!! Gable stands up, and brings down the straps! Anaheim is thunderous as Gable climbs up, for a MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO?!?! Ivar survives, but Gable has the ANKLE LOCK!!! Ivar flails, reaches out, but Gable drags him away! IVAR TAPS, GABLE WINS!!
Winner: Chad Gable, by submission
The raid has been stopped, and the Alpha Academy hurries out to celebrate with Gable! “A THANK YEW~!” Will this finally settle things between the Alphas and the Vikings? Or will it only escalate things towards war?
Backstage interview with Drew McIntyre.
Cathy Kelley is with the Scottish Terminator and congratulates him on the win tonight. He says he wants to take a moment to talk about Cody. McIntyre always tells the truth, and Cody has been on the run of a lifetime the last two years. Cody’s built such great momentum, only one person has pinned him up to tonight. The second person is Drew McIntyre, “The Savior of WrestleMania.” Then does McIntyre feel that was all tainted by The Bloodline’s interference? Nope. Not at all. He has heard what people have been saying, calling him a hypocrite. But what do you think went through McIntyre’s mind seeing Jimmy & Solo out there?
Of course McIntyre wanted to attack The Bloodline on sight, but he can’t think like that. This is Drew McIntyre (hands apart), this is everyone else (fingers close together). He thinks on the bigger picture. McIntyre isn’t selfish, he’s doing this for the World Heavyweight Championship, for Raw, and for the WWE Universe. He defeated Cody Rhodes tonight, now he’s going to SmackDown on Friday to face LA Knight, then fly across to the other side of the world to compete in the Elimination Chamber, one of the most brutal matches in WWE. And he is gonna win. Then he’ll go to WrestleMania, win there, because he is the true workhorse of the WWE, and the future world champion.
McIntyre heads out, but will all this truly come to fruition? Or will LA Knight and the other Elimination Chamber entrants be a massive roadblock?
The New Day speaks.
Xavier Woods says, “First thing’s first, let’s get it straight. Tonight, Main Event Jey Uso walks out of Anaheim, California your new WWE Intercontinental Champion. And then next week, it’s our turn.” Kofi Kingston says Imperium tried to end his career. And if he remembers right, they said they wanted to take his head. Well it seems like they didn’t get the job done! What they did do is put New Day into a mindset they don’t want New Day to be in. They’ve been targeting New Day for weeks, and there’s no surprise there. New Day’s been doing this damn near a decade. And there’s a reason teams target New Day when they wanna make a name for themselves.
It’s because The New Day are the industry standard when it comes to tag team wrestling! Ain’t nobody better than ya bois the New Day! And yeah, the New Day won the Six Man Tag, but it ain’t over. Mama ain’t singing. It ain’t over until New Day says it’s over! Because with Imperium, it has been count outs, disqualifications, fighting through the crowd, throwing steel steps and putting each other through tables. So the New Day has a little surprise for Imperium: next week’s match has no rules. Because next week, it will be New Day VS Imperium… IN A STREET FIGHT!
Kofi & Woods have kendo sticks, and they beat out the rhythm, “NEW! DAY ROCKS!” Will they use those kendo sticks to beat that same rhythm on Vinci & Kaiser as they beat Imperium down once and for all?
WWE Intercontinental Championship: GUNTHER VS Jey Uso!
We’ve heard from Der Ring General and Main Event Jey, and now we see them put action behind those words. All reigns must come to an end some time, but will tonight be that time? Or will even Jey just be another notch on the belt?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see the difference between day 619 and day one, Uce!
The bell rings and the fans are strongly behind Jey with “YEET! YEET!” echoing out. Jey stares Gunther down, tells him to hear that, but Gunther shoves Jey! Jey SLAPS Gunther, just like last week! So Gunther BOOTS him down! Gunther CHOPS Jey, CHOPS again, and Jey ends up in a corner. Gunther scoops Jey onto the top rope, to then CHOP him again! Jey sputters, but Gunther climbs up to STAND on him! The ref counts while Jey is bent back, and Gunther lets off at 4. Jey tumbles out, Gunther goes after him to CHOP again! Gunther then hits a BARRIER BACK SUPLEX! Jey writhes but Gunther hauls him up.
Gunther hits an APRON BACK SUPLEX! Gunther seethes, Jey writhes, and the fans boo while Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Gunther has Jey on the apron. Gunther hauls Jey up but Jey fires hands! Then a GAMANGIRI! Fans “YEET!” with each shot, and then Jey climbs! CROSS- CHOP!! Gunther takes Jey outta the sky, and then NECK TWISTS! Jey writhes and Gunther hauls him up. Gunther scoops for a BACKBREAKER! Jey flounders back to the apron but Gunther kicks him down. The fans rally with “UCE! OH! UCE! OH!” Gunther goes out to get Jey and reel him in, but Jey fights the bomb! Jey manages to back drop Gunther to the floor! Gunther hobbles to his feet, Jey turns around and ducks the lariat, to SAMOAN DROP onto the desk!
The fans fire up as Gunther tumbles, and “YEET! YEET!” rings out again. Jey feels that energy, hurries after Gunther and hauls him up into the ring. Jey then slides in, takes aim, and he runs in, but the Spear is sent into the corner! Jey UPERCUTS back, ducks the lariat, and mule kicks hard! Jey pops ‘n’ locks to UPPERCUT! Gunther’s in a corner, fans fire up and Jey throws off the elbow pads and wrist tape. “UCE! OH! UCE! OH!” Jey runs in, but into a SHOTGUN DROPKICK! Gunther hauls Jey up, for a GUNTHER BOMB! High stack, TWO!! Jey survives and the fans are thunderous! Gunther is shocked, but he drags Jey right back up.
Gunther stands Jey up, fans rally behind Jey and Jey wrenches out to SUPER- NO, Gunther blocks to LARIAT! Cover, TWO!! Jey survives but Gunther gets the legs! BOSTON CRAB! Jey endures as Gunther sits deep on his back! The fans rally, Jey reaches out, and he works to turn over! The fans still rally as Gunther holds on, but Jey makes it to the ROPEBREAK! Gunther lets go fast and paces in frustration. Gunther storms back up, stands Jey up to whip, but Jey holds ropes! So Gunther UPPERCUTS, runs, only for Jey to DUMP him out! Jey builds speed and DIVES! Direct hit and down goes Gunther! The fans fire up again as Raw goes back to break!
Raw returns once again and Gunther eggs Jey on. Jey ROCKS Gunther with a forearm, but Gunther ROCKS Jey back! Jey fires another forearm but so does Gunther! Jey wobbles, Gunther eggs him on, so Jey UPPERCUTS! Jey eggs Gunther on now, so Gunther fires another forearm! The shots go back and forth, “YEET! BOO! YEET!” The YEETS get the edge, Jey pops ‘n’ locks ‘n’ puts some stank on it, for the UPPERCUT! Gunther CHOPS Jey off his feet! Gunther hauls Jey back up, to CHOP again! Jey wobbles and drops to a knee, but Gunther stands him up for another CHOP! Jey staggers, rebounds, and Gunther CHOPS him back down!
Gunther demands Jey get up, then eggs him on. “I told you you’re not good enough to succeed on your own! You’re nobody!” Gunther stands Jey up, makes him look him in the eye, but Jey UPPERCUTS! Gunther CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS from all sides! Then he reels Jey in, for the- NO, Jey slips up and over the bomb, ducks ‘n’ dodges to SPEAR!! Cover, TWO!! Gunther survives, Jey isn’t quite as strong as The Tribal Chief with that move. Jey goes to ropes and watches Gunther. The fans rally up and Jey goes to a corner. Jey climbs, but Gunther runs up to SLAP him first! Gunther then CHOPS again!
Jey wobbles up top, Gunther climbs up to join him. Gunther brings Jey up for a SUPER HALF HATCH! Jey tumbles into a drop zone, Gunther goes up, GUNTHER SPLASH!! Cover, TWO?!? Jey survives and Gunther is beside himself! The fans rally up as hard as they can while Jey stirs. Gunther hauls Jimmy up to CHOP, then has Jey on the ropes. Gunther CHOPS again, but Jey SLAPS! Gunther CHOPS, Jey forearms, repeat! The fans fire up, Jey dodges a shot, then SPEARS again!! Jey sees Gunther bailing out so he hurries, to APRON SPEAR!! Fans are thunderous again as Jey SPEARS Gunther on the floor!!
Gunther flounders, Jey seethes, and Jey puts Gunther in the ring. Jey runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, and SPEARS!! Not the cleanest but it was enough! Jey goes back up, takes aim, USO SPLASH!! Cover, wait who’s ringing the bell!? That wasn’t time yet! JIMMY?!? He just couldn’t help himself! Pearce ejected Jimmy but he snuck back in to screw Jey! Security rushes in but Jimmy runs away, and Gunther CHOPS Jey from behind! SLEEPER, but Jey rolls it back! TWO!!! SUPERKICK!! Gunther falls, but then Jey DIVES onto Jimmy!! Jey gets even with his brother, hurries back up top, and USO SPLASHES onto knees!!! Gunther cradles Jey, Gunther wins!!
Winner: Gunther, by pinfall (still WWE Intercontinental Champion)
The Bloodline hit all their targets tonight, and that helps Gunther make it to day 620! Will anyone ever come as close to Jey did tonight? Or will Gunther simply reign until to the end of time?
Wait, Jimmy isn’t done with Jey, he goes right after him! Fans boo as Jimmy beats Jey down, and then lines up the shot! SUPERKICK!! Jimmy tells Jey, “You thought you was gonna reign without me?! No matter how big you get, I’m always the big brother! Always!” Jimmy stands over Jey, his own twin brother, and smiles as the fans boo. But then Jimmy goes up a corner! He mocks the bounce, then hits the USO SPLASH!! Jimmy again stands over Jey, but then just goes back to a corner, for another USO SPLASH!! No mercy from his own twin, will Jey ever get away from The Bloodline’s shadow?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Raw here, especially for a go-home. No Go-Home Syndrome tonight, I think HHH Era is the cure to that. Great continuity with The Bloodline’s promo from SmackDown, with their interference to “ruin” the awesome opener from Cody VS McIntyre, and then more interference to “ruin” the awesome main event from Jey VS Gunther. Great use of continuity with McIntyre, him bringing up the hypocrisy in his promo, and that’s good momentum going into his match on SmackDown with LA Knight that was totally recorded last Friday since there’s no way to be in Perth, Australia in time if they’re still gonna be stateside that late.
Anyway, Jey VS Gunther having Jimmy interfere is a very big tease that we’ll get Uso VS Uso for WrestleMania this year, which can be some awesome stuff, and a way for Jey to neutralize Jimmy from interfering with Cody VS Roman. Meanwhile, Rollins checking in on Cody is a good nod towards them teaming up. I still think they’re going to have an “impromptu” tag match against Grayson Waller & Austin Theory, which then leads to Cody & Rollins VS Roman & Rock, or maybe Solo if Rock isn’t ring ready. There might even be a response from Cody & Rollins on SmackDown after Chamber to keep this going.
Really good interview promo for Rhea and Nia, though it wasn’t even really an interview after they both said their part and then Rhea just left. Awesome return moment for Raquel Rodriguez getting in the Women’s Battle Royal and pretty much dominating. The fans do seem to be coming around on Chelsea (not me yet, sorry) so her trying the sneaky win was clever, but no, it had to be Raquel at this point. Great promo from all six Chamber entrants, and of course it turned into a brawl. Quite the clever surprise of Nia going after all six of them, though. Nia stands tall here because duh, she’s losing to Rhea, but Nia doing that keeps the math even between all six Chamber entrants. Though, c’mon, it’s still gotta be Becky.
Gable VS Ivar being here was a bit of a surprise, but what an awesome match and awesome win for Gable. Since Jey didn’t dethrone Gunther, it’s anyone’s guess as to who gets a shot for Mania, but I’m not sure if it’s Gable. Gable had his shots, did great but obviously he didn’t win, so I don’t know if a super serious shift in Gable’s attitude is enough to make me think he’ll win. Sami is talking about finding a path, but he’s going to have another match with Nakamura first. Maybe Sami wins the rematch and then forces a tiebreaker with Nakamura, and then Sami uses that momentum to earn a shot at Gunther? Sami did mention doing something historic, so ending Gunther’s historic reign at 665 days or whatever would be pretty awesome.
Really good promo from Andrade, too, and he says this is his era now, but a lot of wrestlers say stuff like that. I wouldn’t mind Andrade also being involved in an Intercontinental Championship story, or some other high profile story to bide his time while waiting on titles, just as long as he gets to do something. And great promo from The New Day to set up a Street Fight Tag. It’s rare we get to see intense New Day so this is going to be some great stuff as New Day quite literally fights their way back up the rankings.
And just amazing stuff again out of R-Truth with Judgment Day. “Truthline” was a great bit for the interview promo, and we got a great 8 Man Tag. Truth taking the loss was also fitting in the story, this will get that Face heat on him and The Miz as they perhaps fight their way to a tag title opportunity. Now, Judgment Day stands tall here, but then you can bet Dom & McDonagh lose to Tyler Bate & Pete Dunne this Friday on the prerecorded episode to bring the math back around. Feels like Judgment Day will sweep the night with Rhea beating Nia and then Finn & Priest beating “New Catch Republic.” Maybe HHH will one day figure out how to divide the titles but for now, it seems Bate & Dunne are gonna be fed to the Judgment Day’s reign.
My Score: 9/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Swerve Strickland is here!
UNO Lakefront Arena is whose house? SWERVE’S HOUSE! And while he helped Kenny Omega & The Opps run off The Death Riders on Wednesday, The Realest is here to keep that edge of his sharp. Swerve grabs a mic, but before he can say anything, The Young Bucks make their way out here! Nicholas Jackson has the mic, and he says, “First of all, shut the F up! And show some respect for your EVPs, your Founding Fathers!” Matthew apologizes for Nick being a hothead, but he also “apologizes” to Swerve for interrupting “whatever the hell this was going to be. But I don’t think these people here wanted to listen to what you have to say anyway.”
The fans boo because that’s not true. But Matt says he knows Swerve is scheduled for a match later tonight, and well, The Bucks were in the back, and they’ve pulled a few strings. In fact, they bumped him up a bit! In fact, Swerve’s match is going to happen right here and now! Let’s get the ref out here, hopefully Swerve can move around in those sweet leather pants! Nana is upset but Swerve figured this would happen. Nick introduces Swerve’s opponent, Blake Christian! The Vanilla Babyface thanks The EVPs for this, and then he and “Big Shotty” Lee Johnson go to the ring. Will Swerve be able to win even without time to prepare?
Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS Blake Christian w/ Lee Johnson!
The bell rings and The Bucks decide to watch from the stage in their directors’ chairs. Swerve and Blake approach, Blake dodges and comes back, Swerve scoops for a tilt-o-whirl but Blake lands out! Swerve ROCKS Blake, runs, but Blake grabs at the ref. This distraction lets Lee trip Swerve up! The fans boo but Blake HAMMERS away on Swerve! Blake bumps Swerve off buckles, stomps away, then digs his boot in. The ref counts, Blake lets off and gives a thumbs up to The Bucks. Blake whips, Swerve reverses, but Blake goes up and around to DROPKICK! The Bucks like this as Blake SLAPS Swerve. Blake soaks up the heat before he “licks the ice cream cone.”
But then Swerve grabs Blake in a half nelson! Blake fights and RAMS Swerve into the corner! Blake ELBOWS free, runs, but Swerve follows! Swerve handsprings over Blake’s dropdown, then dodges Blake. Swerve jumps the dropdown but Blake DROPKICKS! Swerve bails out, but Blake FOSBURY TOPES! The Bucks applaud but the fans boo. Blake brings Swerve up, bumps him off the barriers, then soaks up the heat from New Orleans. Blake whips Swerve hard into railing, refreshes the ring count, then storms back up. Blake fires forearms but the fans rally for “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Blake wrenches, but Swerve CLAWS Blake’s face!
Swerve THROWS Blake into the railing and the fans fire up! Swerve drags Blake up, fireman’s carries, but Blake slips free to POST Swerve! The ring count climbs, Blake bumps Swerve off steel steps, then puts him in the ring. Blake then has Swerve on the apron, but Swerve shoves him back! Blake ENZIGIRS, then SPEAR- NO! Swerve blocks the spear to HOTSHOT NECKBREAKER! Blake sputters, Swerve goes up the corner, FALLING UPPERCUT! The fans fire up as Swerve hits the Griddy! Swerve then KICKS Blake! Swerve tells Lee to watch himself, then he goes back to Blake. Blake BOOTS Swerve, runs up, but Swerve hip tosses!
Swerve gator rolls and deadlifts, but Blake fights free of the suplex! Blake whips, Swerve reverses, but Blake rewinds in the ropes for a STUNNER! Swerve is down, Blake goes up, and the fans boo. Blake takes another taste, then he 450- NO, he has to bail out! HOUSE CALL outta nowhere! The fans fire up and Swerve hooks Blake up, BIG PRESSURE!! Cover, Swerve wins!
Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall
The Bucks try to mess with Swerve but The Most Dangerous Man isn’t caught off guard so easily. Swerve dares The Bucks to come get some, but then Lee attacks! Lee stomps away, whips, but Swerve reverses! SOMERSAULT FLATLINER! The fans fire up again, but now The Bucks go after Swerve! They knock Swerve down, stomp him around, and the fans boo again. The Bucks sit Swerve up, for an E V P TRIGGER!! Matt mocks the chant and Nick does a horrible Griddy. But they get Swerve up, only for Nana to grab at Nick! Nick kicks Nana away, but here comes Kenny Omega! The fans fire up as the good EVP rushes the ring!
But The Bucks mug Omega 2v1! The fans boo but The Bucks soak that heat up. They kick Omega low, double whip, but Omega ducks the double lariat to send Nick into Matt! Then SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX for Nick! Nick staggers back up, into another SNAP DRAGON! Omega fires up and the fans are with him! Omega aims at Nick, BANG! But Matt drags Nick to safety! The Bucks retreat, but BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan! Given this and previous confrontations, Dynamite will have a truly all star 8 Man Tag! Kenny Omega will be joined by Mark Briscoe, Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey to face The Young Bucks, Kazuchika Okada & Ricochet!
As for the present, Omega and Swerve stand tall as they have common enemies with The Bucks. They fist bump to show respect, so will the Best Bout Machine be able to count The Most Dangerous Man his most valuable ally in this fight?
Samoa Joe speaks.
“Jon Moxley. Men like you, they seem so very complicated. But the truth, Jon? The truth is, men like you have very simple motivations. See, men like you, Jon, you’re agents of chaos, you create chaos wherever you go, and you benefit from the distress that you have reaped. Jon, you’re a man who seeks to go out and not face your problems, no. You distract your problems so that they can’t find you. Jon, I am not a problem that will be distracted. Jon, I am not an issue that will go away when you create chaos. Standing before you, Jon, is an inevitability. I am coming for you, I am coming for my AEW Championship, and Jon? There is nothing you or any of your Riders will be able to do about it.”
The Samoan Submission Specialist has spoken, will The Maniac heed his warning? Or will Moxley find a way to keep his reign of terror going?
AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: Toni Storm w/ Luther VS Queen Aminata!
The Timeless AEW Women’s World Champion had a lovely time in Hollywood to celebrate the “little sci-fi film” that is Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

Backstage interview with Team Triple Jay.
Lexy Nair is with Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, as well as Jeff & Karen Jarrett. We haven’t seen the team in quite some time, so what is next for them? Lethal says that is exactly the question. Perhaps they should ask that to Sonjay Dutt, if he ever decides to show up. Where is he? Sonjay finally arrives, Karen says, “Look who decided to grace us with his presence!” Wow, okay… Sonjay says clearly, the team needs a minute. Lexy steps aside, and Lethal says as the man who’s known Sonjay the longest, as Sonjay’s best friend, Lethal needs to be the one to ask: What the hell is Sonjay’s problem?! Where has he been?
Sonjay has been showing up late for weeks while the others are putting in the work. What has Sonjay gotten them? Nothing! If he’s supposed to be the brains of this operation, he should know that the team is tired of sitting on the sidelines! Jeff double checks: Sonjay’s the brains? Since when? Sonjay knows what Jeff said on January 1st of this year, and it’s that he wants AEW gold. They’ve gone over it over and over. But maybe he’s listening to the wrong people. Lethal says damn right. This time, Lethal’s got the ideas. The team leaves Sonjay behind and Sonjay asks Satnam if he’s going along with this.
Satnam says he can’t really disagree with the others. The One in a Billion leaves to follow the others, is Sonjay no longer part of the team?
Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge: Max Caster VS ???
Wait, seriously? Platinum Max is 0-7 at his own challenge and he’s still out here with that document in hand. Caster says, “New Orleans! You are lookin’ live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans are torn, but Caster says, “Platinum Max has been taking on all comers week in and week out, and tonight is no different. Platinum Max brings the excitement. Platinum Max brings the drama! And Platinum Max is gonna bring something very, very rare in this city, and that is a playoff-like atmosphere.” The fans boo, but Caster says c’mon, this is Playoff Palooza. Relax. But Caster knows that all the Maximaniacs in the Big Easy wanna do one thing an done thing one: Chant his name!
Here goes! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!” Fans make it “You’re the Worst Wrestler Alive!” but he doesn’t hear it. Caster says alright, he has heard better chanting in his day, but what does he expect from a city whose streets smell like horse urine? Anyway, let’s get to business! Let’s see who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive! And it’s HOLOGRAM! The fans fire up and Caster is furious. But will Caster’s losing streak coincide with Hologram’s continued win streak?

AEW hears from Mercedes Mone and Jamie Hayter.
The CEO says Double or Nothing will always hold a special place in her heart, because it is where she won the TBS Championship, and became the greatest TBS Champion of all time. But Jamie Hayter brings up how Mone likes to claim, “Money Changes Everything.” No, money breeds ignorance. Money makes you weak! Mercedes points out she is #FourBeltsMone, and she’s a global wrestling star, but she wants ALL the gold! And the only woman in her way to All In is Jamie Hayter. Jamie says Mone will learn that Hayter Hits Hard. But can Hayter hit hard enough to derail The Money Train?

“Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith talk backstage.
The Bad Apple tells The Redwood that Chris Jericho ain’t coming back until he’s no longer disappointed in them. Bill says they need to look out for themselves by crackin’ skulls and stackin’ wins. Keith says that it’s two sides of the same coin. They stop disappointing Jericho when by crackin’ skulls and stackin’ wins! Bill says regardless of what Jericho wants, that is still what they need to do for themselves. So the question must be asked: Who are they gonna crack? It could be anybody! It could be just some dude in the front seat of his car and they crack his skull! It could be that stupid boom mic operator!
Or, it could be at a local wrestling school, where they find two rookies with stars in their eyes looking for the break of a lifetime. Bill & Keith could put those two in that ring and crack their skulls and end their careers before they even start! But that is not what Bill & Keith need. They need a true challenge. They’ve looked around this locker room, and they found two guys who went toe-to-toe with the world tag team champions last week. They found two guys who are highly motivated to make a name for themselves. Bill calls out The Gates of Agony to try and make a name at the Learning Tree’s expense. Will Bill & Keith slam the Gates shut? Or is the Learning Tree about to be cut down?

It was a stampede from start to finish, and El Toro Blanco stands tall! Will Rush be unstoppable until he is finally a champion in AEW?
Roppongi Vice speak.
Trent Beretta says that for their entire careers, he and Rocky Romero have been called, “Underrated.” When you start out, that might be nice. But when you’re 20 YEARS IN… Being “underrated” is an insult! Rocky Romero says, “You know what else is an insult, Trent? When your so-called friends invite you to join The Conglomeration, and they don’t even put you on the shirt! That is an insult! It’s disrespect.” Trent says they are done with that. Rocky shouts at The Outrunners for walking through their shot! But the Outrunners say not to be disrespectful to them! Trent CLOBBERS Turbo! RPG Vice beat up on Turbo & Truth!
Trent says LISTEN! From here on out, you will appreciate everything they have done for you. Rocky & Trent storm off, will this new dangerous Roppongi Vice help the Don Callis Family own AEW?
AEW hears from Kyle Fletcher and “Hangman” Adam Page.
The Aussie Arrow says, “I’m not sure if winning this Owen Hart Cup is the most important part, of if it’s stopping Ospreay. But what I do know is, if I can do both at the exact same time, it will be the most satisfying moment of my life. And Hangman? You might be a cornerstone of this company, but the company that you pioneered is dead!” The Cowboy says, “In the Commonwealth of Virginia, it is The Protostar VS The Hangman. And usually they say ‘Virginia is for Lovers,’ but Kyle, I am going to be rough with you. I am going to smack you, I am going to bite you, and I’m going to Aussie Open your ass and put these ostrich leathers heel deep!”
Kyle says after he wins the Cup, he wins the AEW World Championship, and then you WILL say his full name. But Hangman says at the end of The Owen is a shot at the world title at All In, and Hangman needs that. Both men are locked and loaded for this Wednesday, but who will win and go Double or Nothing with Will Ospreay?

Dax shows punch to make Kyle duck, for a DD- NO, Kyle wrenches out and trips Dax up! Roll and ANKLE LOCK!! GRAPEVINE!! Dax endures, reaches out, and Stokely panics! But Cash is up top to DIVING SPLASH on Kyle!! Dax crawls, fans hope these teams “FIGHT FOREVER!” and Dax hot tags Cash! Dax reels Kyle in, Cash goes up, MIND BREAKER!!! Cover, FTR WINS!!
Winners: FTR, by pinfall
It was the hardest fought match between these two teams yet, but FTR take the win! Adam Cole hurries out here to make sure his guys are okay, but now FTR creeps up. Stokely anchors Cole, and Roddy gets a SHATTER MACHINE!! Cole sees he’s all alone now, but he dares them to bring it then! But wait! Daniel Garcia is here! And he has a crowbar! Red Death chases FTR off, so his avenging 2Point0 will have to wait. Garcia grabs a mic to tell FTR, “Two of the biggest, fakest pieces of trash I have ever met in my entire life! You guys wanna go around, you guys wanna stab people in the back? You wanna stab ME in the back?!
“The only problem is, you guys didn’t dig the knife deep enough to finish the job! So now, lemme tell you this. Now it’s your problem. Because week after week after week after week after week, I will be after you until I get my hands on you and make you pay!” The fans fire up for that! When and where will Garcia finally take the Top Guys out?
My Thoughts:
A great episode of Collision, even for this being a pre-taped and even then slightly delayed episode because of the NBA Playoffs getting in the way. Great opening with The Young Bucks “changing” the match order to try and swerve Swerve. But of course Swerve was winning, good stuff with Blake Christian. Good stuff also with Omega going out there to help Swerve against The Bucks, keeping the link of them in Team AEW going. And we’re getting quite the 8 Man Tag next week, a good tease for the possible Anarchy in the Arena match.
Very good promo from Samoa Joe to call out Moxley, and very good hype promos for Mone VS Hayter and Fletcher VS Hangman. Very good match from Toni VS Aminata, Aminata continues to look strong even in defeat. Still unsure how Aminata VS Deeb is going to go in the ROH Women’s Pure Championship tournament. Anna of course won her return match, but I’m a little surprised she ended up a target for Ford & Bayne. Anna will be a good opponent for Megan to bide her time, though, and maybe Anna gets an ally for a tag match or two.
Caster having another Open Challenge is ridiculous but I guess even he is moving past The Acclaimed, aka not going back for revenge on Bowens. Hologram gets a great win for it, and maybe Hologram will get a title story soon. Though, all the midcard titles are wrapped up in stories… Meanwhile, great Tornado Tag of Top Flight VS CRU, and there wasn’t really cheating for CRU to win since it was No Disqualification, though not caring about Leila was a pretty harsh spot. A string of signatures taking out Darius is good enough, and maybe CRU could get a title shot, if not for Hurt Syndicate being the AEW tag champions and the Sons of Texas probably going until All In: Texas.
Awesome match from Bandido VS Dralistico, but it was clear that being on just this pre-taped and even then slightly delayed episode, Bandido would retain. Rush VS Fox definitely felt like Rush taking out his frustrations over Dralistico’s loss, though. And I feel like they should definitely build to Bandido VS Rush, but that’s only if ROH gets a replacement event for Supercard of Honor now being in July. Very good promo from Heel Roppongi Vice, and I like that Rocky brought up the Conglomeration shirt as a point of disrespect. They are also clearly going to have a match with The Outrunners after that confrontation backstage, that’ll be good stuff to show what Heel RPG Vice does in the ring.
And then just an awesome main event tag match from FTR VS Roddy & Kyle. It wasn’t even really blatant cheating that won it for FTR, such as Stokely distracting and someone doing a low blow. It was just some Heel sneakiness, but mostly just the usual gritty style from both teams. And of course, good stuff with Adam Cole and Daniel Garcia showing up. Cole & Garcia VS FTR is certainly happening soon, though I can’t be sure where that goes, because it would make no sense for Garcia to turn. Unless this is also to help give Cope his return moment so that Cope & Garcia are the ones that take down Heel FTR. Even then, not sure where that goes…
My Score: 8.9/10

Hiromu is devastated, but Naito’s last NJPW match in Hiroshima is a defeat! It was an epic battle, and Taichi shows Naito the proper respect. The fans cheer, and the emotion is clear on Naito’s face. Hiromu helps Naito up, and the fans cheer Naito on. Hiromu adorns Naito with his LIJ baseball cap, and offers the fist bump. The fans cheer Naito on, and also Bushi as he joins the others in the ring. Bushi joins in with the fist bump, and though he struggles to stand, Naito also joins in. The fans cheer as the ungovernable spirit is still strong. Will those burning tears of frustration give way to tears of joy knowing they’re going all out until the very end?
Vacant IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championships: Bishamon VS Callum Newman & Great-O-Khan!
Hirooki Goto knows he will defend his IWGP World Heavyweight Championship against the Prince of Pace at Wrestling Dontaku. But this detour into Wrestling Redzone sees Callum fighting to reclaim the tag titles now that Jeff Cobb is leaving NJPW. Will the Dominator help Callum while also making himself a double champion? Or will the only double champion be the man who puts the G in IWGP?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and one way or another, we will have new champions!
The teams sort out and both Goto and Callum step up. The fans cheer this appetizer for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, and rally behind “GO-TO-O!

Khan then has a cocky cover, but Red Shoes isn’t about those. Khan shifts right into a KATAGATAME! Goto endures the head ‘n’ arm triangle as Khan puts all his weight on the hold! Goto reaches out, ROPEBREAK! Khan lets go, but he drags Goto by an arm to tag in Callum.
Callum stomps Goto down, then paces. Callum drags Goto up, but Goto CHOPS! The CHOPS go back and forth, but Callum KNEES low! Callum CLUBS Goto, then has him on the ropes. Callum UPPERCUTS Goto, then brings him out to KICK him down! Cover, ONE! Goto is tougher than that and the fans applaud. Callum drags Goto back up, whips him into the Empire’s corner hard, and Goto falls to the mat! Tag to Khan, he drags Goto up, and gives him Mongolian Chops! And more Mongolian Chops! Then he feints so he can UPPERCUT! The fans applaud, and Khan has Goto in the corner so he can sit on his throne!
The fans cheer but Red Shoes reprimands. Khan pulls Goto’s arms back! Red Shoes counts, Khan hops down, and Khan brings Goto around to Mongolian Chops! Cover, TWO! Goto is still in this but Khan BLASTS Hashi off the apron! Red Shoes reprimands but Khan scuffs Goto. Khan eggs Goto on, then kicks him! Goto eggs Khan on, so Khan kicks again! And again! Goto CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS! Khan Mongolian Chops! Khan whips, Goto reverses, and Goto runs up, but into a BOOT! Khan runs, but Goto follows to LARIAT! The fans fire up while both men are down! Goto and Khan crawl, hot tag to Hashi!

Goto runs to run Callum over! Callum kips up to ENZIGIRI! Callum whips, Goto reverses to fireman’s carry, USHIGOROSHI! The fans rally for Goto while he stalks Callum. Goto roars and powers up, and Callum sits up into the BUZZSAW! Goto drags Callum up to fireman’s carry again, G T W!! Cover, TWO!! Callum survives, the fans fire up, and Goto is right on Callum again! Goto dragon sleepers, but Callum drops down to victory roll, TWO! Goto ducks a kick, Callum elbows the waistlock away, then runs. DOUBLE LARIATS collide, and Callum staggers, but he and Goto both growl! They DOUBLE LARIAT again, and Callum slumps against Goto!
The fans fire up as Goto brings Callum up. Goto runs, but Callum ROUNDHOUSES!! Both men are down and the fans fire up more! Goto and Callum crawl now, though a bit dazed. Hot tag to Hashi and he runs past Callum to BLAST Khan! Hashi suplexes, for the HEAD BUSTER! And then the METEORA! Cover, TWO!! Callum survives but Hashi fires up again! Hashi drags Callum up, half nelsons then pump handles, but Callum fights free! Hashi ducks a roundhouse to LARIAT! Cover, Khan breaks it! Goto kicks Khan, fires forearms, but Khan swings! Goto ducks, Hashi mule kicks, and they hook Khan up, GOTO GO TO HUNTER!

Hashi calls for the end, Bishamon hooks Callum up, but Callum fights free! Callum ELBOWS Goto, dodges Hashi, then springboards, DOUBLE OS- NO, Goto catches Callum! Hashi is back in, but Khan SUPERMAN PUNCHES him! Khan fireman’s carries Goto, Callum runs up, IMPERIAL DROP!! Big shoutout to Henare and Cobb, and the fans fire up again! Callum drags Hashi up and he feeds him to Khan. Callum runs, but Hashi fights free!
Hashi shoves Khan at Callum, Callum gets Khan out of the way, but the HIDDEN GAP finds him! Hashi sends Callum at Khan now, knocking Khan down! Hashi then rolls Callum up, TWO! Hashi has the full nelson, DRAGON SUPLEX! But Khan LARIATS Hashi!! Khan shouts to Callum that they have this now, and the fans fire up! Khan drags Hashi into the fireman’s carry, but gets EASY PICKINGS! But Callum V-TRIGGERS Hashi! Hashi is up, Callum dodges him to OSCUTTER!! And then BLOODY SUNDAY!! Cover, THE EMPIRE WINS!!
Winners: Callum Newman & Great-O-Khan, by pinfall (NEW IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions)
“The Prince’s Curse” seals the deal, and now Callum brings all that gold into the ring, even Goto’s world title! Will Goto have to be much more careful when it’s 1v1 at Wrestling Dontaku? Or will he #GetBackUp and #TurnItAllAround?
As for the Empire, Callum puts the world title on Goto’s shoulder, knowing they fight for it in just 8 days’ time. But before Callum & Khan can say anything on the mic, Taichi & Ishii make their way back out here! Taichi grabs the mic and he tells Callum, “Hey young ‘un. Don’t think just because you beat Goto & Hashi, this is a changing of the guard, ya bastard. Who’s quitting? Who’s leaving? With me and Ishii still here, NJPW hasn’t changed a bit. We will be at the center of New Japan, we will be here for the fans, and we will take those belts!” The fans like the sound of that!
Taichi also points out he and Ishii just beat the 2024 World Tag League winners, the former champions, Naito & Hiromu, so they’re deserving of the next shot. He dares Callum to accept the challenge! The fans really like the sound of that! Khan takes the mic and he says, “Two old farts with no future. Such a shame. Well, we will give our senpai a chance. Any time you want, we’ll take you on.” The fans cheer as this showdown is now on the books! When and where will Taichi & Ishii look to reestablish themselves in NJPW?
After Taichi & Ishii head back out, Callum takes the mic to say, “Hold on a moment, please. It’s very hot.” Callum also apologizes, Japanese is very hard for him, so is English okay? The fans applaud and Callum says arigato. Now in English, Callum says, “I’ve seen everything. Anything anyone has got to say about me against Goto. And if you think for one second, I’m gonna listen to anyone that thinks I don’t have a fighting chance at being the next IWGP Champion, then in Fukuoka, none of you are gonna believer your eyes of what The Prince of Pace, Callum Newman, is gonna do!” The fans cheer that!
Callum tells Goto that he has looked up to Goto for years, Goto is one of the best in NJPW. But guess what? In Fukuoka, Callum is not only going to be IWGP Tag Champion, he will be the NEW IWGP World Heavyweight Champion! The fans cheer, and Khan is given the mic back. “We (the royal ‘we’) are the first ever TV and IWGP Tag Champion, and Callum will be the first IWGP World heavyweight and Tag Champion. Bow down, peasants of Hiroshima!” The fans cheer, and Khan continues, “What happened in this Goto Revolution? Nothing! While these old farts are trying to hang on to the spotlight, the revolutionaries are putting in the work, isn’t that right?”
The fans applaud more, and Khan says, “It’s the new that will lead the way for NJPW. It’s Francesco Akira, Templario, Callum Newman, and Great-O-Khan. It’s the power of the United Empire. BOW DOWN!” Akira & Templario join Callum & Khan in throwing up the crowns. Will no one be able to stop them from completely conquering NJPW?
My Thoughts:
A great event for NJPW as they take a detour on the Road to Wrestling Dontaku, especially as Dontaku marks the last date for Naito & Bushi. That tag match of Naito & Hiromu VS Taichi & Ishii was great, and the energy from the crowd was awesome. But given Naito is on his way out, it makes sense he puts Taichi & Ishii over. Seeing Naito get emotional there was a great shot, and we know just how much this all means to him. Great main event for the tag titles, and great win for Callum & Khan. Taichi & Ishii already calling their shot was good, and it made for good stuff in the closing promo.
Goto VS Callum is going to be great, but sorry, maybe I’m one of the naysayers right now. It would be pretty awesome if Callum & Khan became a Two Man Power Trip, but I’m not sure NJPW likes funneling a lot of titles through not just one faction, but through just two guys. One way or another, Khan is a Double Champion and they can play the double header aspect up with him plenty, I don’t think there needs to be a double double header where Callum has to worry about both the tag titles and the world title.
My Score: 8.9/10
