PLAY BY PLAY
Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill enter the building!
The StrongEST Duo is here, ready to “meet” their next challengers, Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark. But we can see Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn lurking in the background… Will there be some wicked witches up to no good?
Liv Morgan is here!
The Liv Morgan Revenge Tour continues thanks to Dominik Mysterio messing things up again! But the real shocker last week was when Liv thanked Dirty Dom with a kiss on the lips! Liv is all smiles as she gets the mic and says, “Welcome to THE LIV MORGAN REVENGE TOUR~!” The fans are torn but Liv says the saying is, “Revenge is never as sweet as you think it’s gonna be when you finally get it.” But not for Liv~! First, she did what no other woman could do and that was take out Rhea Ripley! Then, she became the NEW Women’s World Champion! but that’s not all, because then she put Becky Lynch into early retirement!
The fans boo more and more but Liv asks if they wanna know what the cherry on top is. Kissing Dominik Mysterio~! You all know what she means. The fans saw the video, right? Over 40 MILLION views in less than 24 hours! But speaking of Dom, here he comes! The fans boo Dom even more than they were Liv, but what else is new? Dom tells Liv that he doesn’t know what kind of game she’s playing. The fans keep booing and Dom tells them to let him say his business! Dom tries again to say he doesn’t get what game she’s playing, but now the fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” Dom tells Liv that Mami isn’t playing games.
And when Rhea Ripley returns, she is gonna kill Liv! Liv says maybe. But she probably kills Dom, too. Liv promises to make it all worth it. The fans are intrigued. But Liv asks Dom how long he’s gonna keep on lying to himself. Dom didn’t come out last week to help Becky. He came out so he could be closer to Liv. Liv steps closer to Dom but Dom steps back. Liv says it’s okay. She meant what she said about taking everything from Rhea. That includes Dom, too. Liv has Dom cornered then puts her hand on his face. Liv smooths hand down to his chest, but then Finn Balor jumps in! Finn gets Dom’s mic to tell Liv to back off!
Liv is surprised but Finn says enough is enough! Dom wants nothing to do with Liv! NONE of the Judgment Day does! Well, what if Liv doesn’t wanna go? And what if… Dom doesn’t want Liv to go? But okay, okay, Liv will go. For now. Liv drops her mic, smiles and exits the ring, making sure Dom gets an eyeful as she does. Liv even teases his hair. Dom is flustered and frustrated, what will Mami have to say about her Latino Heat being Liv’s plaything?
Backstage interview with Sheamus.
Jackie Redmond is with The Fella at gorilla, and asks that after last week’s brawl, how pumped is he to get his hands on Ludwig Kaiser? Sheamus is very pumped up! We all saw what happened. Kaiser came outta nowhere, dropping some real bombs. And here Sheamus was, thinking this whole time that Ludwig was just Gunther’s announcer holding the General’s coat. Yes, he looks like a Ken doll, is annoying and arrogant, but maybe Gunther’s been holding Kaiser back. Maybe there’s more bite to the bark. Tonight, Kaiser sees if he can go toe to toe with the Celtic Warrior. Sheamus can hear the fans firing up already!
Sheamus says he’s on the cusp of 15 YEARS in the WWE, has been in the ring with the best of the best. And it’s always been about, “Can the fella across the ring from me gain my respect?” Only one way to do that: put on banger after banger, after banger! The fans echo that for Sheamus as he walks through the curtain and out on stage! Monday Night Raw is now Fight Night, will Sheamus and Kaiser melt it down in Hershey, Pennsylvania?

The Judgment Day regroups backstage.
Finn & JD McDonagh talk with Dom about this Liv thing, and Dom says he can’t help it that ladies are into him. He didn’t do anything. That’s the thing! Dom didn’t do anything! Dom is playing with fire, don’t get burned. Priest steps in and asks for an explanation about earlier. Finn says none needed, situation handled. Well, is that true? Dom says yeah, it’s like Finn says. Okay, nice. How about Rhea? Does she know? Dom says he’s giving her space, but everything’s fine. Really. Priest says okay, then he hopes it works out and that Dom makes things right.
But now, to business. They have enough trouble as it is, with Priest taking on Dom’s dad and Finn taking on Dragon Lee. How about they settle some scores and remind everyone why Judgment Day runs Raw? They all fist bump and the boys head out. Will The Prince be able to take down the Boy Wonder before El Campeon handles The King of Lucha? Or is this where The LWO starts to take over?
Ricochet gets taped up by the trainer.
The King of Flight thanks the doc, but then Ilja Dragunov walks in. The Czar wants to talk and Ricochet says he appreciates it, but he’s good, he’s locked in. No he’s not! But Dragunov isn’t here to stop Ricochet. Dragunov understands that people like them live close to the limit. Ricochet says he’s right, and that’s why last week, when Ricochet almost beat Dragunov, if he can walk, then he can fight. Dragunov wants Ricochet to listen. If there’s anyone who understands Ricochet, it is Dragunov. But Dragunov still wants Ricochet to be careful. Bron Breakker is just wired differently.
Ricochet says HE is wired differently! Dragunov is wired differently! They’re here because of that, Bron just forgot it. Bron has been inserting himself into their business for too long, so if Dragunov wants to settle this with Ricochet, it has to be after he smacks the fake tan off Bron. Then best of luck, friend. Ricochet heads out, but will he need to come back here for even more tape after tonight?

Sami Zayn is backstage.
The Intercontinental Champion is on his way to gorilla, passing by Natalya as she’s talking with… Sonya Deville? Sonya was trying to get Zoey Stark & Shayna Baszler to listen to her before, will she convince The Queen of Harts to listen? As for Sami, what will he say about The Alpha Academy’s deterioration from within?
Judgment Day regroups backstage.
Priest says not for nothing, but he thought by now, the Strowman situation would’ve been dealt with. JD apologizes but Priest says don’t sweat it. And Carlito! He wants to play prospect, wants to run with the crew? Here’s an idea: go to Adam Pearce and make a match. Ask Pearce for a match of Carlito VS Strowman. Then Carlito can handle the situation. Oh, and do it tonight. Priest and the boys head out, and Carlito says that’s not cool. And R-Truth says that’s not what’s up! He feels Carlito’s pain. Being in Judgment Day is like riding a roller coaster. When you’re down, they kick you. And when you’re up, they still kick you. But those were the best days of Truth’s life.
The Miz walks in and says those were the best? They’re the World Tag Team Champions now! THESE should be the best days of his life! They stole Truth’s TV! Miz, let go of The Judgment Day stuff! Miz is obsessed! It’s starting to get weird. Truth leaves and Miz is even more confused! But will Carlito be able to stop Braun and earn his way into the Judgment Day? Or will he just #GetTheseHands?
Sami Zayn goes to the ring!
The fans fire up for the Intercontinental Champion and chant his name while he gets the mic. Sami then says, “Welcome to Pennsylvania, huh?” Good to be back, because last time he was here was WrestleMania, and we all know how that went! The fans cheer as Sami holds up the belt. But truth is, Sami hasn’t really had time to enjoy it, because the whole time there’s been this thorn in his side, Chad Gable. Chad’s tried to make this about everyone and everything else: Gunther, family, the Alpha Academy, but the truth is, this is about Chad and Sami! And after the past couple weeks, it has gone on long enough!
Here is what Sami is proposing: Chad, come out here now, leave the Academy behind, and face Sami man to man so they can put an end to all of this right here and right now! Gable doesn’t make his entrance, he sends The Academy out instead! Maxxine Dupri leads the way with a note in hand. She apologizes to Sami, but Gable says Sami doesn’t deserve his time. Gable also said The Academy needs to redeem themselves, and that starts with delivering this message. The Academy goes to the ring, Sami tells them they don’t have to do this. They don’t have to! But Maxxine reads, “From Master Gable…
“Sami, you really think you can turn my students against me? Ha ha. Sami, you are living proof that my teachings can take a pathetic excuse of a human being and make them a champion. Without my help, this ring would be filled with: a failure hanging around backstage, pretending to be a ninja; a child who couldn’t even hang onto his own Money in the Bank briefcase; a knockoff Barbie no one wanted; and a whiny, disheveled mess that Gunther would’ve squashed. I already wiped the mat with you the last time we met one-on-one, Sami, so the only way this ends is you giving me my Intercontinental Championship match.”
The fans cheer for Otis and Sami tells them to tell Gable that if that is what it’ll take, he’s got it! Sami will defend this title against Gable at Clash at the Castle! But y’know what? It isn’t about this right now, and this isn’t about talking to Gable. Sami wants to talk to the three of them right now. Haven’t they had enough? Being paraded out here, humiliated by Gable? They’re all better than that! Sami knows it and the people know it! Chad Gable does NOT get to decide what they are worth! Nnow, Sami understands, he’s been in their shoes. So take it from him, they need to set thesmelves free from Gable once and for all.
But Gable attacks from the other side!! The fans boo as Gable tricks Sami and gets him down! Gable then gives crossface forearms over and over! The fans want Otis to stand up to Gable, but Gable GERMAN SUPLEXES Sami down! Gable then tells Otis to help him finish this. Gable drags Sami up, tells Otis to do it, and Otis looks at his arm. Otis paces as he’s conflicted, but Gable gets mad! Gable shoves Otis around! Gable SLAPS Otis! Gable tells Otis to listen to him! Tozawa pulls Gable back!! The fans fire up for Tozawa, but then Gable pushes him around! The fans boo as Tozawa cowers in the corner.
Maxxine pulls Gable away from Tozawa! She pleads with Gable, but Gable mocks her begging. If she’s gonna beg, she needs to beg on her knees! Maxxine does beg on her knees! The fans boo and Otis is even angrier now! But Gable tells Maxxine and Tozawa to GET OUT! Maxxine and Tozawa listen, but then OTIS stands in Gable’s way! The fans fire up and Gable tries to reason with Otis. Otis doesn’t budge, but then Sami gets up! Sami fires off hands on Gable! Otis comforts Tozawa & Maxxine, but then Gable shoves Sami into Otis, and he knocks Tozawa & Maxxine over!! Gable blames Sami for it all when everyone else knows the truth!
The fans tell Otis to listen to Sami, but Otis doesn’t know what to do with himself! He scoops Sami for a WORLD’S STRONGEST SLAM!! The fans boo but Otis had the wool pulled over his eyes by that snake! Otis still helps Tozawa and Maxxine to the back, carrying them both. Gable holds up the Intercontinental Championship, that’s all he cares about! But will Sami make sure Gable only gets what he deserves when they meet in Glasgow?
Adam Pearce is watching this.
And then Bron Breakker walks in. “Wow. That’s your champion, huh? I would break him in half.” Pearce asks Bron what he wants. Bron says slow down, he is here, believe it or not, to congratulate him. Bron is finally in a match with some real competition. Oh, congratulate him, huh? Bron doesn’t deserve tonight’s match, only the second fine he’s incurred. And the only reason this is happening is because Ricochet wanted it. Ricochet’s someone who understands the meaning of the word, “Respect.” Oh, does he? Okay. Bron will teach Pearce and Ricochet something about respect. Pearce didn’t put Bron in the King of the Ring tournament, so now no one is holding him back.
Bron heads out, the chip on his shoulder still very large. But will that chip weigh him down against The King of Flight? Or will Braon break the WWE Speed Champion?
The Alpha Academy regroups backstage.
Gable is all excited now! They did it! Genius how Maxxine faked getting hurt so Sami would feel bad! No, she really got hurt! She can barely stand on her foot. Still in character! He loves it! And Tozawa, good night, too. But he’s also hurting. Nah, he’ll be fine. And Otis… He’s so proud! Number one guy, always was! And as a team, they will finally accomplish their goal and win Gable that Intercontinental Championship! Keep it up, everyone! Gable heads out, but will Otis see what Sami is saying soon enough?

Bron says he’s not done with Dragunov, but will Dragunov make sure Bron is the one that breaks?
LWO regroups backstage.
Rey tells Dragon to tranquilo, he looked great out there, and would’ve won tonight if not for Carlito. That fool has taken too much away from Dragon, and Dragon will get his payback soon. But first, they gotta take away his protection. Tonight, Rey is aiming straight for the head, Damian Priest. Priest thinks Judgment Day runs things, but that doesn’t included La Raza or The LWO. Zelina says that’s right! So tonight, Rey personally delivers this message man to man, face to face. Ariba La Raza! Rey is all fired up, but will he be able to take down the World Heavyweight Champion?
Kiana James VS Natalya!
The Calculator finally has her Raw in-ring debut after being brought up in the WWE Draft, and the Queen of Hart makes her return after helping Karmen Petrovic in NXT. Jackie is with Kiana at gorilla, and says in moments, she has her first Raw match. How excited is she to finally have this moment? Kiana says as we all know, Natty is one of the most accomplished superstars in WWE history. Kiana took her time to get acclimated to Raw learning from Pearce. Pearce is fabulous at his job despite the circumstances, and she specifically asked for this match.
Kiana has huge aspirations here, and to beat The BOAT would not only validate that Kiana is “The One Percent,” but it would be a huge first step to the top. The music hits, will Kiana herself be a hit after tonight? Or will Natty show Kiana just why Natty is still one of the best today?
The bell rings and the two tie up. Natty hits a headlock and takeover fast, but Kiana rolls. Natty lets go to get up, they tie up, and Natty wrenches to a wristlock. Kiana rolls, handsprings, and wrenches to wristlock. Natty rolls, handsprings, and wrenches through to back drop! Cover, ONE, but Natty hurries to waistlock.

Backstage interview with The New Day.
Cathy Kelley is with Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston and says tonight, they face The Authors of Pain, who are led by Karrion Kross now. In recent weeks, Kross seems intent on dismantling The New Day, does that add any pressure to tonight? Woods says they’ve been here so many times, there have been people trying to do this over the years, it isn’t gonna work. Kofi says it won’t work, and the fact is, they’ve been doing this for so long, and there’s a reason why: Because they’re the best to ever do it! A lot of people have tried to come between The New Day and they have all failed. And The Authors of Pain, The Final Testament, that’s just the next team in a long line and they will fail, too.
Do you know why~? BECAAAAAAAUSE~! NEW! DAY ROCKS! Kross walks in and says he loves that chant so much! Just at shame it doesn’t hit the same anymore. And do they want to know why? Because the Power of Positivity is dead. Oh…! So Kross thinks it doesn’t hit the same? Doesn’t hit as hard? Well, The New Day does! And the AOP finds out tonight, the hard way. The New Day heads out, but Kross tells Woods that after tonight, Woods won’t have to follow Kofi around anymore. Trust him. Kross is clearly trying to get in Woods’ head, but is it working?
Natalya returns backstage.
And there’s Sonya. Ready to talk? Yes, she is. Enough is enough, time for a change! Sonya says good, but then she spots Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark. She says it is their lucky night because Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair did show up. And also, she’s been talking with Natty, and Sonya- Okay, okay, stop. They don’t care what Sonya has to say! And of course they know Bianca & Jade showed up, Zoey & Shayna invited them here! Duh! And three, these two will show Jade & Bianca who the real top team is around here. Okay, just don’t be brash. The more respect you demand, the less you actually get. Does that make sense?
Shayna is starting to think Sonya is the only one who doesn’t respect them. So just leave them alone! Zoey & Shayna head out, and again se see Alba & Isla lurking. Will Deville ditch the Queen of Spades & Hunter for some more sinister prospects?
Carlito VS Braun Strowman!
Well, it seems Caribbean Cool did just as Priest said to do, because here we are! Will Carlito even survive “handling” this situation? Or is there no stopping the Strowman Express now that he’s got a head of steam?
Raw returns and Carlito makes his entrance. He reluctantly gets on the apron, and then Braun runs up to get hiM! Carlito HOTSHOTS Braun away, the bell rings, and Carlito fires off hands!

The fans fire up but here comes JD & Finn! Braun DECKS JD, then grabs Finn by the neck! Carlito CLUBS Braun, and BACK- NO, Braun shrugs Carlito off! INVERTED CHOKE SLAM!! Cover, Braun wins!
Winner: Braun Strowman
But the Judgment Day attack! The fans boo as Finn & JD stomp and CLUB away on Braun, but then he grabs each of them by the neck! Braun shoves them both back, to then DOUBLE LARIAT! The fans fire up but here comes Dom! CHOP BLOCK to a leg! But Braun SHOVES Dom down! Braun still hobbles, but Dom gets a chair! Braun SWATS the chair away!! Dom freaks out, runs away, but Braun pursues! Braun stalks Dom up the ramp as Dom begs for mercy! Also seems that arm is better than he lets on. But then LIV stands in the way? Liv won’t let Braun hurt her Latino Heat, and then JD DIVES onto Braun!
JD & Finn mug Braun, Carlito joins in, but Braun still fights them off! Braun TOSSES JD into the ring! JD gets that chair, JAMS Braun up, then SMACKS him on the back! Braun stands up, so JD SMACKS Braun in the chest! And the leg, and the leg, and the other leg! Finn & Carlito join in to stomp away on Braun, then holds him down for JD to fire off on those legs! Dom gets up, Liv smiles as she looks him over. Dom backs away but Liv steps forward. Finn steps outside and tells her no means no. Liv says she’s just having fun. Liv waves bye as she backs away, is Dom really gonna have to make this up to Mami?
Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill head to the ring!
The fans fire up as the storm is coming, and the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions make their way out. They get mics as the fans cheer, and Bianca says Monday Night Raw, it has been a minute since The EST has been her. But now that she is one-half of the Women’s Tag Team Champions, they gonna show up, show out, and defend the belts, no matter the brand. The fans like that! Jade says that they got a special invite here, so they’ve come to collect. Shayna, Zoey, since you wanna be so loud and run your mouths, come out and say it to their faces! Shayna & Zoey oblige as they make their entrances now.
Zoey says, “Well, well, well. Shayna, look who it finally is! Bianca and Jade!” Zoey’s shocked that these two were here., When was the last time those titles were even on Raw? In fact, Zoey & Shayna thought the champs were trying to duck ‘n’ dodge. Duck ‘n’ dodge? Jade & Bianca ain’t afraid of them! Zoey & Shayna can’t whoop them! Now, if Zoey & Shayna had the titles, then maybe the belts would be on Raw. Oh, hahaha. Bianca & Jade should be scared! Cuz once they get the title match, Shayna & Zoey will take those titles and send Bianca & Jade back to SmackDown where they’ll continue to duck the real baddest team in WWE.
Jade says why wait? These two are so confident, let’s give the people what they want! Shayna says bet! But Pearce hurries out here to have everyone hold on. He wants to make sure we’re on the same page, because normally he wouldn’t just put titles on the line on the fly. But it sounds like they all want the match here and now. Hershey, do you want this? “YES!!” Then hell, who is he to stand int he way? Let’s get a ref! They’ll have this match right now, and the women’s tag titles ARE on the line! The fans cheer for that! But will Shayna & Zoey prove they truly are the baddest team today? Or will they regret cashing in the golden tickets so quickly?

Bianca throws Shayna aside to then throw Isla. But now it’s a 4v2 mugging! The fans boo, but Alba SUPERKICKS Jade down! Shayna & Zoey stand over Bianca, Alba & Isla stand over Jade. Is the StrongEST Duo in for a wicked showdown at Clash at the Castle?
Backstage interview with Damian Priest.
Cathy Kelley is now with El Campeon, and says The Judgment Day has had quite a bit of success tonight. How is he planning on capitalizing in the main event against Rey Mysterio? Priest says yes, it has been a good night. It feels right. As far as Rey goes, that guy has been a thorn in their side. So tonight, as much as Priest respects Rey’s fight and willingness to not quit, Priest must close the door on this issue. So tonight, Priest is done with Dom’s dad. Then speaking of, she’d be a bad journalist if she didn’t ask about Dom and Liv- Hey, cool it with the Liv stuff. But then in steps Drew McIntyre.
The Scottish Terminator says Priest’s in a good mood. Yeah, he’s world champ. Every day is a happy day. How’s McIntyre’s life? Oh, it’ll be good in a couple weeks. Sure it will. McIntyre tells Priest to enjoy this now. He is in his prime, this is as high as Priest goes. So live it up! McIntyre really does believe in Priest. But Priest wants to make it personal, so now it’s personal. See you soon. McIntyre leaves, Priest says that guy has issues. But will Priest settle his issues with The King of Lucha so he can focus on Clash at the Castle?
Jey Uso is here!
The fans fire up as Main Event Jey makes his way down from the bleachers! The fireflies come out and they bounce with Jey, and he stays up there as he gets the mic. Jey asks if they’re ready for the summertime~, let him hear ya say, “YEET!” “YEET!” Jey says hey to lil’ man here, he likes the shirt. But ya boi still has big plans for himself, right? “YEET!” Last summer was Money in the Bank, Bloodline: Civil War. That was tough on Jey. He lost his brothers, his cousin, his family. Real talk, he stayed in the fight because he knew one day he could fight on his own. “YEET! YEET! YEET!” Jey is serious, though. He wasn’t just a Right Hand Man. “YEET!”
Jey knew that one day, Uce, he could finally be THE Main Event Jey Uso. “YEET!” So with that said, y’all… Jey wants to take this time to thank everyone for yeetin’ with him on this journey. The fans cheer that! “YEET! YEET! YEET!” Jey gives his sunglasses over to the fans, and says they all been rockin’ with him, time for him to deliver. He has a plan, you wanna hear it? “YEET!” He gonna climb that ladder, “YEET!” get to the top, snatch that briefcase, and become MR. MONEY IN THE BANK! “YEET!!” Jey has already declared for that match, will he make this the Summer of YEET?
Backstage interview with Lyra Valkyria.
Cathy Kelley is with The Morrigan, and says she is arguably the closest woman to Becky Lynch. How is The Man coping with everything? Lyra says Becky is disappointed, but Lyra knows Becky is at her best when people think she’s beat. Becky will take that loss to Liv, come back around, and use it to make herself even better. That is how winning is done. Real winning! Something Liv knows nothing about. So if you ask Lyra, we won’t have to “watch her” for every long at all. Becky has been an invaluable mentor for Lyra, helping her beat three members of Damage Control, make it to the finals of Queen of the Ring, so how is Lyra moving forward without Becky?
Lyra is sure she’s shown she can stand on her own two feet. And that’s the plan! Her next goal, after hearing Jey say he wants MITB, is that she’ll go for MITB! She will do anything to- IYO SKY ATTACKS! The Evil Genius fires off on Lyra, still furious over that loss to her in the tournament! She throws Lyra into the garage door, then throws rope on her! Iyo still rages on through the backstage area, will these two have to settle their score before either one moves on?
The New Day VS The Authors of Pain w/ The Final Testament!
Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods have stuck together through thick and thin, and they’re not about to change that. But will Akam & Rezar give them no choice when they write The Final Chapter on #KofiMania?
Raw returns as The Final Testament makes their entrance. The teams sort out and Woods runs up to SHOTUGN Rezar! Woods fires off hands on Rezar, climbs up in a corner and rains down fists! Rezar shoves Woods away but Woods mule kicks a leg! Woods headlocks, Rezar powers out but Woods ducks ‘n’ dodges, only for Rezar to CLOBBER him! Rezar rains down fists, but Woods kicks back. Rezar ELBOW DROPS, and he talks a lot of trash. Kross and the rest are pleased as Rezar drags Woods up. Tag to Akam, he runs and CLOBBERS Woods! Cover, TWO! Akam HAMMERS away on Woods, then drags him away.
Tag to Rezar, and Rezar stomps Woods down. Rezar drags Woods up, clamps on a neck wrench, but the fans rally with “NEW! DAY ROCKS!” Woods fights up, fires hands, but Rezar ROCKS Woods. Rezar scoops but Woods fights free! Woods ENZIGIRIS and Rezar staggers! Akam tags i n, he keeps Woods from Kofi and back suplexes. Woods lands out to SUPERKICK! Scarlett distracts the ref, Kross gets in Kofi’s face! Woods dodges Akam but no tag! Kross grins, Akam CLOBBERS Woods then DECKS Kofi! Akam hits Woods in the corner with a clothesline, then he tags in Rezar! They get Woods up, for WHAT A RUSH! Cover, AOP wins!
Winners: The Authors of Pain, by pinfall
Kofi hurries in to check on Woods, but the numbers game got the better of The New Day. Will The Final Testament put an end to The New Day one way or another?
Backstage interview with Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn.
Jackie catches up with the wicked witches and asks them what just happened. They just attacked the tag team champions, but why? Alba says the tag champs just wanna show up and hand out title shots, meanwhile these two don’t get the opportunities! Shayna & Zoey, #1 contenders because they beat “everybody,” except Alba & Isla. Isla points out that Clash at the Castle is in Scotland, yet no sign of these two on the card. That does not sit right with them. So they won’t wait around for chances, they’re gonna take ’em! And oh~, don’t Jade & Bianca look so pretty with those title belts? But those good looks are about to fade.
Isla blows a kiss goodbye and she leaves with Alba into the night. Will these two cast a spell that ends the StrongEST Duo’s reign? Or are they just running into the worst storm they’ve ever weathered?
Damian Priest VS Rey Mysterio!
There’s no love lost between The Punisher and the King of Lucha, but there might be some respect lost. Will Priest demolish Dirty Dom’s dad once and for all? Or will Rey rise to the occasion and get a win over El Campeon del Mundo?
Raw returns and Priest makes his entrance. The bell rings and the two circle. The fans rally as Rey gets cornered, but he dodges to KICK a leg! Rey runs, gets around Priest, then slides under him, but Priest BOOTS him down! Priest looms over Rey, smirks, and he watches Rey go to a corner. Priest runs up to BACK ELBOW, then he hits the BROKEN ARROW! Cover, ONE!! Rey is tougher than that, but Priest stalks Rey around the ring. Priest stands Rey up, but Rey fires body shots! Priest shoves Rey, Rey kicks back! Rey runs up to tilt-o-whirl RANA! Priest tumbles out of the ring, so Rey goes to the apron!
Rey ASAI MOONSAULTS and down goes Priest! The fans fire up and Rey gets Priest back in the ring. Rey RAMS into Priest, then ROCKS him. Rey slingshots, but into Priest’s arms! Priest snarls as he hits the FLATLINER! Rey sputters and Priest looms over him. Priest stalks Rey, drags him up, and ROCKS him with a right! Rey staggers to the corner, the fans rally up, but Priest storms over. Priest stomps a mudhole in, lets off as the ref counts 4, then soaks up the cheers and jeers. Rey stands, Priest stalks him again, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns once again and Rey fights out of a chinlock! Priest CLUBS Rey, then has him in a corner. Priest whips corner to corner hard, and Rey staggers into a scoop and SIDEWALK SLAM! Cover, TWO! Priest is annoyed and he tells Rey he doesn’t wanna have to do it like this. But if Rey keeps getting up, Priest will put him down for good. Priest DECKS Rey, Rey flops out of the ring, and Priest tells him to stay down or else. The ring count climbs, Rey drags himself up with the apron skirt, and he gets back in at 8 of 10. Priest sighs, brings Rey up, and whips him to the corner hard! Another scoop, but Rey slips free!
Rey WHEEL KICKS Priest and Priest staggers! Priest blocks a kick but the ENZIGIRI hits! Rey KICKS and ROCKS Priest, whips, but Priest blocks! Priest snarls, whips hard, and Rey is in the corner. Priest runs in, but Rey ducks the splash! Priest hits post, Rey goes up and wheelbarrows, to victory roll Priest into buckles! The fans fire up as Priest staggers to his feet. Rey runs in, Priest puts him on the apron, then SUPERKICKS him down! The ref checks Rey while Priest steadies himself. Priest drags Rey up on the apron, says he’ll get Rey inside, and has a choke grip! But Rey fights the lift with a turn!
Rey GAMANGIRIS Priest away! The fans rally, the ring count starts again, but Rey hurries up the steel steps. Rey climbs the corner, and he SEATED SENTONS! Rey keeps moving, he ducks ‘n’ dodges and springboards to CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Rey won’t let that bother him, he RAMS Priest in a corner! Rey climbs up to rain down fists! The fans count along, and Rey gets TEN! Rey hops down, but then says he’ll do it again! Rey climbs, throws down more fists, but Priest stops him at four to run him corner to corner HARD! Rey gets stuck up in the ropes, but he ELBOWS Priest back! And tilt-o-whirls to DDT! Cover, TWO!
Priest is still in this but both men are down. The fans rally up, Rey rises and he dropkicks Priest onto ropes! Rey dials it up, but he has to duck ‘n’ dodge counter attacks! Rey springboards to QUEBRADA, but Priest catches Rey! Priest pops Rey around for a SNAKE EYES off buckles, and a LARIAT on the run! Cover, TWO!! Rey lives and even Priest has to smile. Priest said he respects Rey’s reputation and now he’s seeing it for himself. Priest gets Rey up, hoists him to the top rope, then CLUBS him on the back. Priest climbs up behind Rey, but Rey fires hands! The fans fire up as Priest steps back. But Priest BELL CLAPS Rey!
Priest then goes back up, and he turns around so he can bring Rey up into the crucifix! The fans freak out, but Rey fights free! Rey throws elbows, CLUBS Priest, then adjusts his own position. Rey leaps up and over to SUPER RANA!! Rey DROPKICKS Priest to ropes, and he dials it up! 619!! Priest falls, Rey DROPS THE DIME! Cover, TWO!! Priest survives and Rey is shocked! The fans can’t believe it, either, but then here comes Carlito! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but then Dragon Lee YANKS Carlito down! Carlito kicks back, whips, but Dragon goes up and up and FLYING FOREARMS Carlito down!
Dragon gets his hands on Carlito, but then Finn & JD make the save! They mug Dragon, Rey is furious so he FLIES out onto them all! The fans fire up as Rey hurries back to the ring! Rey goes up, but Priest catches him first! SOUTH OF HEAVEN!! Cover, Priest wins!
Winner: Damian Priest, by pinfall
The Judgment Day still had to get involved, but a win is a win for El Campeon! But then MCINTYRE CLOBBERS PRIEST! The fans are torn as The Scottish Terminator drags Priest back up. McIntyre underhooks, for the FUTURE SHOCK!! And a kip up, too! McIntyre picks up the World Heavyweight Championship, the belt he only held for 5 minutes and 45 seconds at WrestleMania. McIntyre puts it aside, gives us the countdown, “THREE! TWO! ONE!” But Finn gets in so McIntyre LARIATS him down! Carlito runs in, to get a GLASGOW KISS HEADBUTT! JD leaps in, but into McIntyre’s arms! OVERHEAD SUPLEX!
McIntyre storms up on Priest and has him on the apron. McIntyre then clears off the desk! The fans fire up for that! Michael Cole & Pat McAfee move aside, but then Priest gets McIntyre! SOUTH OF HEAVEN through the table!! McIntyre again takes his eye off the ball and now he’s down in the wreckage! Priest stands over McIntyre, will The Punisher prove he’s far more than a paper champion?
My Thoughts:
Another great Raw, lots of fun with all the stories that blend together within The Judgment Day’s story. Liv made it official that she wants Dom, only to stick it to Rhea. Judgment Day stepping in to stop that is interesting because we’ve seen those Easter Egg moments of Finn and JD each talking with Liv. Judgment Day of course gets help from Carlito and then helps Carlito in return in their matches with LWO. I really hope Dragon Lee finally gets going on Raw, maybe this feud with Judgment Day helps with that. Great stuff with Braun helping out, but of course being pretty much 4v1 and Liv, too, it made sense they’d take Strowman down.
Really good stuff with McIntyre, too, but I really thought he was gonna stand tall to end the night. But then we got one more turnaround and Judgment Day stood tall. This isn’t the go-home yet, but I’m kinda hoping McIntyre finds a way to win when Liv causes The Judgment Day to split between Team Liv and Team Rhea. If any title changes hands at all at Clash at the Castle, it really needs to be the world title and McIntyre standing tall in the main event so Scotland can celebrate.
I did not think they’d give us the Women’s Tag Team title match tonight, but it was a great match, and it sure became clear why it happened tonight after Alba & Isla attacked. We’re getting Alba & Isla challenging for the tag titles in Scotland, same as Piper Niven challenging Bayley for the WWE Women’s Championship. This might be a rough night for the Scottish lasses, I don’t see Alba & Isla dethroning Jade & Bianca. As good as Alba & Isla are, they should’ve really gotten their chance at these tag titles before a team as strong as Bianca & Jade got them. Also very good win for Kiana here, but the real development is that Natty might end up Team Deville. Feels a little inconsistent with how Natty just got a win with Karmen on NXT but hey, Natty’s gotta do something for herself.
Great promo from Sheamus and a great match from Sheamus and Kaiser. Great win for Kaiser, with maybe a touch of controversy as maybe Sheamus’ hand was under ropes or something. But either way, this can extend things between Sheamus and Kaiser for more great matches like this. Good promo from Jey to declare for MITB, and good promo turned attack for Lyra and Iyo. I would think Lyra and Iyo could both get in on the ladder match, but especially Iyo since she was last year’s Miss MITB and can certainly do even more great stuff. And Jey would make a great Mr. MITB, especially if he can customize his briefcase to be blue and white with “YEET” all over.
Great promo from Ricochet and Dragunov, and great promo from Bron and Pearce, to build up the great match from Ricochet and Bron. Great win for Bron, but of course he wanted to add on after. And Dragunov going after Bron was of course the logical move, that is going to be an awesome match. And it feels like the winner of that will end up a contender to the Intercontinental Championship. Speaking of which, great promo stuff from Sami and the Alpha Academy. We are of course getting Sami VS Gable one more time at Clash at the Castle, and we got so close to Otis turning on Gable here. Maybe it finally happens at Clash and that ends Gable’s hopes of being Intercontinental Champion while Sami is still champ.
And honestly, some really good stuff with Final Testament and New Day. Good promo backstage before the match, and while I thought Kofi was taking the loss by getting beat down, they turned things around and made it Woods. I guess Kross is trying to make Kofi out to be selfish and unreliable so that Woods will willingly want to break away. If Final Testament just brutalized Kofi into being injured, Woods would resent and resist Kross’ argument. I don’t want New Day to call it quits after all this time, but at the same time, what more is there for them to do? Another tag title reign seems less likely with so many newer teams available, and Woods hasn’t had the singles accomplishments Kofi & Big E have, so this could be the way we get to Woods finally being Intercontinental Champion.
My Score: 8.9/10

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?

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.
