Gunther is here!
Grand Rapids is a bit turn seeing Der Ring General head to the ring, World Heavyweight Championship around his waist. Gunther may not be Crown Jewel Champion, but he must still defend his world title at Survivor Series in Vancouver. The fans are torn again between cheers and jeers as Gunther grabs a mic. The fans remind him he lost to Cody, but Gunther starts by saying, “All that matters is, is that I am still the World Heavyweight Champion!” Gunther says he does not live in the past, but he looks to what is in front of him. And next is his challenger, Damian Priest.
There are a lot of things Gunther has to say about Damian Priest. But wait, here comes the man himself! The fans all fire up as The Punisher heads right to the ring, grabs himself a mic, and soaks up the cheering. Priest then tells Gunther not to look surprised. It was advertised to the world that Gunther would talk about Priest, so just say it all to his face. The fans cheer that! Gunther says honestly, look at Priest! His attitude! Priest is and always- Oh, let’s guess: Priest is street trash. He’s a thug, a bum, his parents didn’t care enough to raise him right. He had to scratch and claw and fight just to get here, but Gunther just waited on a phone call.
Priest asks if that covers all the insults. Because what Priests sees is that the first time the two went around, Priest understood the vibe, he got why we feared the unbeatable killer. And for the first time in Priest’s career, he felt doubt. He didn’t know if he could beat Gunther. It sucks to admit that, but it’s the truth. And yet, if not Priest’s so-called brother, that title wouldn’t be around Gunther’s waist. And in fact, the wildest thing about SummerSlam was, when it was over, Gunther becoming champion, his vibe started to fade. Priest sees it now. It faded because Gunther started doubting himself!
Oh, no? That’s not what it is? Gunther was just in Saudi, and the vibe faded more because he got beat by Cody Rhodes. The fans cheer for Priest and Cody while Gunther gets heated. This is what Priest means! Gunther can’t even talk now because he’s full of doubt! Let’s be real. The way Gunther feels now, let’s say why. It’s because Gunther knows he can’t beat Priest! And we know this, we know the killer is dead, is because Gunther would’ve taken a swing by now. Priest offers Gunther to take a swing now. The fans don’t wanna wait, right? The fans fire up for that! Gunther paces but Priest says he won’t take a shot.
Because if Gunther did, Priest would drop his ass right now. The fans fire up but here comes Ludwig Kaiser! He asks what is even going on here! Kaiser tells Priest, “What’re you doing here? Out of everyone in this building, it is you doubting the Ring General?” Does Kaiser have to remind Priest that Gunther beat him once already? Kaiser will give Priest some advice: Get out of this ring right now and save yourself, because the second time Priest faces Gunther, the result will be the same! Gunther will beat him again, because Priest is not even worthy- Gunther stops Kaiser from talking! Gunther tells Kaiser that HE is the problem now.
Kaiser says no! He is not going to let street trash talk to Gunther like that because- Priest DECKS Kaiser! The fans are thunderous, and then Priest LARIATS Kaiser up and out! Gunther backs down! The fans are eating this up as Priest dares Gunther to bring the fight. Gunther backs out of the ring! The fans boo but Priest smirks. Is Priest
Backstage interview with Damage CTRL.
Cathy Kelley is with Iyo Sky & Kairi Sane, and she congratulates Iyo on becoming the #1 contender to the WWE Women’s World Championship. How does she plan on taking down the self-proclaimed greatest women’s champion in WWE? Iyo says she is ready for Riv. Bianca & Jade better save a piece for her. Kairi says they also have other business tonight. Yes, a Six Woman Tag, and the third woman is… DAKOTA KAI! She’s back again! And she missed the team so much. But while she’s happy to be back, she’s pissed at Pure Fusion Collective for taking three MONTHS away from her career. But as long as DMG CTRL is there, no one gets them down!
Not Shayna, not Zoey, and not Sonya. They’re going to remind everyone what DMG CTRL is capable of. Will #CobraKai help the Evil Genius & Pirate Princess put PFC in their place?
Kofi Kingston comes across R-Truth.
They say hey, and Kofi realized he never got to thank Truth for that thing with Final Testament. Kofi also apologizes for the aftermath, because for some strange reason, Xavier Woods didn’t want to get involved. Woods walks in to ask what’s going on. Kofi says they were just talking about how- Pete Dunne barges in? Dunne tells Truth they need to talk. Dunne’s told Truth his name, but every time they cross paths, Truth calls him that name. Oh, sorry, that’s on Truth. What does he want Truth to call him today? Oh, c’mon, that- Kofi asks what’s the issue. Oh, does he want to make this his issue?
Woods says no, this is not their issue so Dunne can handle this. Wait, does Woods talk for Kofi now? Kofi says no, he doesn’t. Well, Woods is actually right, you don’t want this fight. Maybe Kofi does! Let’s settle this in the ring! Because if you have a problem with Truth, you have a problem with Kofi. Woods says he’s out, Dunne says bet, and he’ll meet Kofi in the ring. Truth says this is getting good! And hey, good luck with Pete. Just watch out for Butch. Oh, wait… Truth walks off, grumbling to himself that he messed up again. But will the Bruiserweight be getting himself a win one way or another?
Six Woman Tag: Damage CTRL VS Pure Fusion Collective!
Raw returns and PFC makes their entrance. The trios sort out and Iyo starts against Zoey Stark. They tie up, go around, and Zoey headlocks. Iyo wrenches free to hammerlock, then headlock, but Zoey fires body shots. Zoey whips, Iyo ducks ‘n’ redirects, then rolls off Zoey’s back! The fans fire up as things keep moving, and Zoey avoids the handspring kick! Iyo eggs Zoey on again, but Zoey dodges her dropkick to scuff her face! Zoey back suplexes but Iyo lands out! Zoey dodges with a handspring of her own! Zoey then grabs hair and whips Iyo for a BACKDROP! Zoey flexes, then she kicks Iyo around.

Jey Uso and Sami Zayn meet backstage.
They do the handshake! But then Jimmy walks in. What’s Sami’s problem? No problem, no problem. Jimmy’s coming in with the problem. Jey says same page, get right. Sami says it is good to see Jimmy, he looks nice. Nice chain. Jimmy says Sami looks… Ok, see, this is what Sami means. Jey says move on from that, what’s the game plan tonight? Jimmy says they still need a fifth man for WarGames, that’s all. Oh, is Jimmy calling the plays? Yes, dawg. But 5v5, that’s WarGames. Jey says they don’t really have friends on Raw or SmackDown, but there’s gotta be someone. Sami says hold on, he knows someone.
Oh? Who’s he know? Don’t worry about who he knows. Sami will text. Jey says yeet. Sami heads out, Jey tells Jimmy to just be nice. Can the Honorary Uce find an Honorary Honorary Uce to join the fight?
Kofi Kingston w/ Xavier Woods VS Pete Dunne!
Despite what “Quarterback” Woods wanted, Kofi is going to fight on behalf of his friend, R-Truth. Will Kofi make sure the Bruiserweight takes a chill pill? Or will Dunne butcher Kofi for Truth’s mistakes?
Raw returns and Dunne makes his entrance. The bell rings and the fans taunt Dunne with “BUTCH! BUTCH! BUTCH!” Dunne mocks them like he can’t hear them, then circles with Kofi. They tie up, Kofi waistlocks, but Dunne has the ropes. Kofi lets off, but Dunne DECKS him! Dunne chinbars Kofi, claws at Kofi’s face, but the ref counts.

Dunne hauls Kofi up, pump handle, BITTER END!! Cover, Dunne wins!
Winner: Pete Dunne, by pinfall
Woods is upset, acting like it’s Kofi’s fault in this. Sure, Woods handed Dunne to Kofi on a silver platter, but Woods isn’t respecting the way Kofi wants to do things! The arguing continues even now, how is New Day going to feel going into their ten year anniversary?
Judgment Day hangs out in the clubhouse.
Raquel Rodriguez says she can’t wait to get her hands on Jade & Bianca. Liv Morgan says tonight, they’re gonna have it all! So exciting! But then Finn Balor says the one thing they don’t have is the World Heavyweight Championship. Isn’t that right, Dom? Because after last week, Priest is one win away from being champion again. Thanks, mate. Dom says that wasn’t his fault. No one was watching his back, and Bronson Reed came out to destroy everyone. Where was Finn? Oh, he was being a team player, doing what Liv told him to do, and that was focus on the World Tag Team Championships and The War Raiders.
Besides, didn’t Dom say he could handle Damian all by himself? Yeah, well, Dom beat Priest, and he got a lot closer to the world title than Finn has lately. So Finn shouldn’t get so upset that Dom’s done something he couldn’t. Oh, wanna say that a bit closer, kid? The rest of the team calms these two down, they have to remember they’re family. Oh, Finn is calm. But yeah, Liv is right, they’re family. And family steps up for each other, even when times are tough. So next week, Dom & Carlito should step up for Finn & JD and show The War Raiders what judgment Day is all about. Can they do that for him?
Dom says he’s got Finn’s back. He’ll go make it official. Carlito isn’t so sure, but Dom’s already headed out. Carlito hurries after, and JD says they’ll be fine. Finn says look, one big happy family. But is this Judgment Day about tear itself apart like all forms have since the beginning?
Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill speak.
The Storm says, “Since winning these titles, everybody wants to step up and has been stepped on.” The EST says, “And Liv, you might have the gold and Raquel to have your back, but none of that’s gonna matter when you step into the ring because we gonna take you down just like everybody else.” So take your shot, because they return to SmackDown #AndStill the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Will the StrongEST Duo still be this duo when they take on Judgment Day’s bad girls?
Bronson Reed is here!
Grand Rapids is torn seeing The Colossal Aussie making his way to the ring. The fans boo as Reed grabs a mic, and Reed says he’s here tonight to tell Seth Rollins, “You are a hell of a competitor.” Rollins proved so when he won over Bronson Reed at Crown Jewel. But Reed is not a competitor, he is a monster! And last week, he not only took Rollins out, but he took out Priest, Sheamus, and will take out anyone that stands in the way of Reed putting Rollins down, for good! “So Mr. Visionary, Mr. Revolutionary, Mr. Seth Freakin’ Rolins… If you want your revenge, I’m right here in the ring, right now! All you gotta do is-”
“BURN IT DOWN!” The fans fire up as Rollins makes his own entrance! The fans sing along with, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” And Rollins rushes the ring! Rollins dodges Bronson to fire off hands! Rollins runs, but Bronson CLOBBERS Rollins! Rollins bails out, but Bronson goes out to scoop him! Only for Rollins to slip free and POST Bronson! The fans fire up as Rollins clears the desk! But Bronson CLUBS Rollins onto the desk first! Bronson then goes back up onto barriers, just like last week! Fans freak out, but Rollins is up! Rollins LEAPS onto Bronson! They fight in the timekeeper’s area but here comes security!
The fans boo, and chant “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Bronson fights off the guards to get at Rollins again! They’re in the ring, throwing hands, but then Bronson RAMS Rollins into a corner! Security swarms again and fans boo some more. Rollins still fires hands, the two are separated, but fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHG!” Rollins slips out the back goes from the outside, and he fires hands on Bronson! Security drags Rollins down but Bronson throws off some guards. To then DIVE!! Down goes the guards but Rollins avoided disaster! Rollins fires more shots on Bronson!
Producers and Adam Pearce all rush out here! The Raw General Manager tells Rollins to stop it! Rollins argues, referees anchor Bronson, and clearly, this is FAR from over. When and where will The Visionary and Auszilla settle their score?
Raw returns and…
Rollins is still arguing with Pearce, but Pearce says enough! Rollins says no, he wants this match! He needs this match! He’s explained a million times who he is in his heart, in his soul! Give him the match! Fine, one more time! It happens next week because even Pearce has had enough! Just end it one way or another! Pearce storms off, Sami steps in, and Sami asks if Rollins is good. Rollins says yeah. Sami says he’s gonna ask something, and it’ll sound kinda crazy, just hear him out. They need a fifth man for WarGames. Now look, Sami isn’t dumb, he knows the history of Rollins and Roman. No one knows more about bad blood with The Bloodline than them.
But the whole reason Sami is back, is in this match, is because no matter what, no matter how bad things got, that family bond never goes away. And Sami is sure deep down, that bond between Rollins and Roman, on some level, is still there. Sami has looked up down the roster, both Raw and SmackDown, there’s no one else. It has to be Rollins. Rollins is their fifth man. Rollins thinks on that, and says Sami is out of his damn mind. After everything Rollins went through, everything he sacrificed, to take the tyrant, Roman Reigns, out of power… And now Sami wants Rollins to team with them to build Roman back up? No.
Listen to Rollins. Rollins does know better than anyone who Roman Reigns is, and he is shocked that anyone wants to stand next to him. Especially Sami, after everything Roman put him through. Sami must be blind to how Roman is just using him again. So thanks, and Rollins appreciates Sami, but the answer is no.
Damian Priest VS Ludwig Kaiser!
The Punisher is preparing for another round with Der Ring General, so for the first time 1v1, he’ll be taking on the Impeccable German! Will Priest crush Kaiser before going after Gunther again? Or will Imperium throw away the “street trash” already?
The bell rings and Priest blocks a punch to ROCK Kaiser! Priest puts Kaiser in a corner, ROCK Shim then whips him, then runs corner to corner. Kaiser didges, Priest hits buckles, and then Kaiser POSTS Priest! Priest is stuck in ropes, Kaiser runs to DROPKICK Priest down! Priest flops onto the floor, the fans boo Kaiser, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Kaiser headlocks. Priest fires body shots and is free, only for Kaiser to fireman’s carry! ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Cover, TWO! Kaiser is annoyed with Priest and scuffs him around. Kaiser drags Priest up and reels him in, but Priest fights the suplex! Kaiser still tries, CLUBS away on Priest, then goes again. Priest suplexes first! BROKEN ARROW! The fans fire up while both men are down! Priest huffs ‘n’ puffs as he rises up again! The fans fire up as Priest ROCKS Kaiser, KOCKS him again, but Kaiser dodges the next! Kaiser runs, but into a FLAPJACK! Priest winds up, and he KCISK! KICKS! KICSK! Then ROLLING ELBOW!
Priest winds up again, and ROCKS Kaiser again! Priest whips Kaiser to a corner, runs corner to corner, and he ELBOWS Kaiser! Then FLATLINER! Cover, TWO! Kaiser stays in this but Priest smirks. The fans rally up, and Priest brings Kaiser around. Priest reels Kaiser in, lift shim up to a Canadian Rack, but Kaiser slips free! Kaiser BOOTS from ropes, then CHOPS! Priest sputters a moment, but he just comes back with anger in his eyes! Priest kicks, Kaiser ducks and rolls, TWO! Kaiser runs to PENALTY KCIK! Cover, TWO! Kaiser grows frustrated but the fans boo while he paces around Priest.
Kaiser drags Priest up, clinches, SIDE- NO, Priest slips free to BELL CLAP! And SUPERKICK! The fans fire up and Priest powers up. Priest runs, to COMEBACKER LARIAT! The straps come down and the fans fire up! Kaiser stands into the choke grip, and the SOUTH OF HEAVEN!! Cover, Priest wins!
Winner: Damian Priest, by pinfall
The lieutenant is taken out, and now Priest is rolling towards Der Ring General! Speaking of, Gunther watches from the stage. Is Priest right? Has doubt taken hold of Gunther’s mind?
Backstage interview with Bron Breakker.
Cathy Kelley is with the WWE Intercontinental Champion and brings up how he didn’t quite advance in the current WWE Speed tournament, as his match with Sheamus was a time limit draw. Bron says he’s at an interesting point in his career. He is looking to expand the trophy case. Naturally, being the fastest superstar in WWE today, the WWE Speed Championship interests him. He’d be here with two titles on his shoulders right now, if not for that ugly idiot bonehead, Sheamus, for getting in his way. Speaking of, here’s The Fella now! Sheamus says he couldn’t help but hear from Bron that Sheamus is an ugly idiot bonehead.
Well, Bron has a lot of arrogance. Bit disrespectful since Sheamus has been here 15 years and Bron’s been here 15 minutes. But Sheamus gets it. Bron is on top of the world, momentum on his side, and it’s a lot like Sheamus. Sheamus was one of the fastest to become WWE World Heavyweight Champion ever. Sheamus put his foot on John Cena’s throat. Now that was arrogance. Just like Bron. But Sheamus will say: Does Bron have a “set of tires” big enough to put up the one title that has eluded Sheamus his entire career? Bron chuckles and says he did not listen to a word Sheamus just said.
But if Sheamus wants to fight for this title, then the answer is yes, fella! Bron would love nothing more than to kick Sheamus’ old ass. Sheamus will explain: his old ass is still going, and better than ever. So do him a favor, “kid,” and shine up the belt real nice. Because Sheamus is taking it home next week. Sheamus leaves, will he finally complete WWE’s ultimate slam? Wait, Jimmy steps in? Jimmy asks if Bron has a second to talk. Okay, he’s got a second. Is #BigJim really thinking Badass Bron is going to help them fight The Bloodline?
The Final Testament find The Miz!
Karrion Kross is overly dramatic as he says, “Thank God you’re alive!” But what happened? Miz says he’s had enough. He’s going to Pearce’s office to ask for a leave of absence. Miz is done. Oh, Miz is done? He wants to go home? Well he’s not going home because he’s given Kross NOTHING on the Wyatts! No information! No locations! Where are they? He’s just randomly back? Miz says this is bigger than any of them! He has to think about himself and his family. He settled his business with The Wyatts. Miz apologized and vowed to change his ways, and they let him go. And honestly, he is a better man now.
The Wyatts moved on, Miz moved on, so Karrion… You need to move on. MOVE ON!? Is Paul Ellering supposed to move on!? Miz has the nerve to mention family, but Ellering is KROSS’s family! The Wyatts attacked Ellering and it is Miz’s fault. Hey, remember when Kross promised to break Miz’s legs? Boys, grab him. Akam & Rezar grab Miz and Kross says they need to remind everyone what happens, live on TV! They’re headed to gorilla, then on stage! The fans freak out as The Final Testament drags Miz to the ring! They put Miz in the ring, Kross says Miz is lying! Miz’s story doesn’t add up. Miz pleads with Kross, but Kross SHOVES him back down!
Kross asks where The Wyatts are! Well, they’re HERE~! The lights are coming down and Miz is terrified. The piano plays, the fireflies come out, and Grand Rapids fires up again! Miz disappears, and The Wyatts are in his place! The fans cheer as Bo Dallas/Uncle Howdy steps in, followed by Gacy, Lumis, Rowan & Nikki. Then The Miz HITS Rowan with a chair?! So much for being a better person. But Bo just laughs it all off? The brawl is on! Miz SMACKS Rowan again while Kross fires off on Bo and Lumis & Gacy brawl with the Authors of Pain! Scarlett has Nikki on the apron, then THRWOS her down! Miz SMACKS Rowan again!
The AOP give Lumis & Gacy the SUPER COLLIDER!! But Bo has the MANDIBLE CLAW on Kross! AOP saves Kross, Miz hits a FULL METAL FINALE on Rowan!! Kross gives Bo the FINAL PRAYER!! The fans boo as The Final Testament stands over The Wyatts, and Kross hugs Miz! They mastermind this entire trap, and the fans chant “Miz You Suck!” The Final Testament & Miz leave, but Bo slowly sits up. Kross can’t believe it, but Bo is laughing again! Will Uncle Howdy make sure Kross pays for his sins?
Backstage interview with Seth Rollins.
Cathy Kelley catches up to Rollins on his way out and wants to ask about how he has his match with Bronson. How does he plan on keeping the monster down this time? Hold on one minute, Cathy. Rollins looks over, and it’s SOLO SIKOA! He and his Bloodline are here, and Solo says bring it in, Uce. Solo knows Rollins doesn’t like Roman, and Solo can’t stand Roman. So why don’t they join forces to take Roman out? Rollins laughs, Solo takes that as a good sign. Rollins says he and Solo haven’t always gotten along, but here’s a little secret, something Rollins didn’t tell Sami when he refused to join Sami’s team.
The next time Rollins is in the ring with Roman, it is to stomp his head into the ground. Never again in Rollins’ life will he team with Roman Reigns. But Rollins will never join forces with a wannabe Roman Reigns. Jacob Fatu gets heated but Solo has him stand down. Rollins leaves for the night, he’s no one’s fifth man. But will it even matter if Bronson breaks him once and for all next Monday?
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships: Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill VS Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez!
The StrongEST Duo could’ve started on their two woman power trip if not for lil’ Liv & Big Mami Cool screwing them out of the battle royal last week. Will Bianca & Jade make Judgment Day pay by denying them these titles? Or will it be Liv & Raquel looking to stack titles on top of titles?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who really runs the show!
Liv runs up on Bianca at the bell, but Bianca hits a SPINEBUSTER! Bianca rains down fists, but Liv turns it around to give those back.

Liv dodges and Bianca POSTS herself! Liv runs back up to SLAP Bianca down! Liv stomps away, the ref counts, and Liv stops at 4. Liv runs back in, but Bianca ALLEY-OOPS Liv onto buckles! Liv sputters, Bianca climbs up, and Bianca rains down fists! Raquel runs up but Bianca fights her off!
The fans boo but Liv YANKIS Bianca down by the braid! The ref reprimands both Liv & Raquel but then Jade runs over! YOINK and Jade DECKS Raquel! Liv WRECKS Jade with a dropkick! Liv laughs, but Bianca is out there! Liv dodges, Jade & Bianca almost hit each other! Raquel CLOBBERS Jade! Bianca ROCKS Raquel, but Liv MISSILE DROPKICKS Bianca! All four women are down on the outside, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns, Raquel and Bianca crawl, hot tags to Jade and Liv! Jade rallies on Liv with big forearms, then a SPINEBUSTER! The fans fire up with Jade, and she runs to ELBOW Liv in a corner! Raquel is back but Jade scoops her! Jade SLAMS Raquel, but Liv CHOP BLOCKS Jade! Liv runs, but into a scoop and torture rack! Jade brings Liv around for the SWINGING WHEELBARROW FACEBUSTER! Cover, Raquel breaks it! Raquel ELBOWS Bianca down from the apron, then drags Liv to safety. Raquel tags back in, and she storms up on Jade.

Th efans are thunderous as Iyo and the Big 3 stand tall! Will these four soon be the champions of WWE?
My Thoughts:
A great Raw here, with them quickly shifting gears towards WarGames. Maybe a little too quickly in the Women’s WarGames given it’s coming together right here at the end in the main event spot. But at the same time, they’re quite cleverly just using what they built going into Crown Jewel and bridging it to the next event. Great tag title match, though rather quick and with a lot of overbooking to get it done before the 10 PM Eastern hard cut. Jade & Bianca of course retain, but with Naomi going after Nia’s title and Iyo going after Liv’s title, we got some very natural alliances made here. I imagine Bayley and Candice will be the fifth woman for each team, given their part in the ongoing Nia VS Naomi story.
Though, that technically means this will be a very SmackDown heavy Survivor Series in terms of the WarGames. Because duh, the Men’s WarGames is Bloodline: Civil War, and Bloodline has been a predominantly SmackDown centric story this year. It’s only until Jey left Bloodline and struck out on his own that Raw got included in the overall story. And it seems they really are sticking to 5v5 so that there’s drama for the sake of drama. Jimmy was certainly thinking outside the box asking Bron Breakker, but that’s gonna be a no, nothing is in it for Bron. Also good promo from Bron and Sheamus, with a surprising use of WWE Speed as part of story. Bron VS Sheamus is of course going to be a banger, but it just doesn’t feel like where Sheamus finally wins the Intercontinental Championship.
Sami Zayn wanting it to be Seth Rollins is a surprising option, but a logical one after what Sami said tonight. Rollins had a good promo with Sami and with Solo to turn them both down, but it feels like there’s a chance we circle back around to Rollins as the fifth man. I still feel Solo’s side should bringing in Hikuleo, but it would be a much more “shocking” moment if Rollins gave in and made amends with Roman. Making amends seems to be a theme they’re going for, at least, so going for this reconciliation of The Shield fits. That “wannabe Roman” line is really gonna stick in Solo’s mind, too, so you can bet his side goes after Rollins and compels him to join Roman.
Meanwhile, great to see Dakota back, DMG CTRL got a great win of PFC. There was nothing here tonight but should there be a Women’s Intercontinental Championship made, Dakota and Kairi each have a fair chance of winning it. At this rate, PFC do not. Great promo from Truth, Dunne and New Day, followed by great match from Dunne VS Kofi. Woods’ cheating was a very clever way for Kofi to lose while adding even more dysfunction between New Day. Very good promo to add dysfunction into The Judgment Day, too, with a lot of passive aggressiveness between Finn and Dom. Nice Easter egg that JD was simulating Finn & JD VS War Raiders in WWE2K. Pretty sure the faction falls apart when Finn & JD lose to Erik & Ivar.
Speaking of all that, Priest had a very good promo with Gunther to revisit last time and then flip it around. Also, wild to think that was only three months ago with SummerSlam. But great stuff where now even Gunther and Kaiser are at odds, and Gunther is perhaps intimidated by Priest after all. Great win for Priest over Kaiser, and who knows how the title match for Survivor Series go. I won’t say we’re booked into a corner, but it’d be kinda wild for Priest to take this title back after only those three months and for Gunther to more or less fall off from being top Intercontinental Champion of all time.
The Wyatt Sicks6 and Final Testament had a great segment, though it maybe took some time away from the women’s tag title match. Miz with the swerve on the Wyatts was really well done, and was the blood coming from the corner of his eye also planned? That was an interesting touch if so. But clearly, here’s our 8 Man Tag after all, with Miz embracing the darkest parts of his Heel persona. Plus, Bo actually creeping Kross out with how he laughed off the pain was great. I can’t wait to see where this goes.
My Score: 8.9/10

NXT North American Championship #1 Contender’s Fatal 4 Way: Eddy Thorpe VS Lexis King VS Wes Lee VS Ethan Page!
The Absolute holds what many want, but only one gets their shot. Will the Alpha Wolf be one step closer to his “birthright?” Will the Drama King look to go for another crown? Will the Wes Side return to former glory? Or will it be All Ego that meets Saints in Sin City?
But speaking of Saints, Ricky makes his entrance after everyone else is already in the ring! The fans fire up as the champion decides to join commentary. The bell rings and Eddy kicks at Ethan but Ethan blocks, only for Lexis to DECK Ethan! Wes then rolls Eddy up, but Lexis shoves Wes away! Lexis basement SUPERKICKS Eddy! Wes and Lexis stare down, things speed up, and Lexis hurdles, but Wes leaps over. Wes dodges Lexis, but Lexis steps on Wes’s dropdown! The fans are torn, but Eddy is up. Lexis wants Eddy to calm down, but then Ethan is also up. Lexis tells them both to calm down, but now Wes is up.
Lexis finds himself surrounded, and Wes feeds Lexis to Eddy’s KICK, and Ethan’s HAYMAKER! Wes adds a HAYMAKER, then Eddy KIKS again! Ethan HAYMAKERS, Wes ENZIGIRIS, and Lexis wobbles. Eddy TOSSES Lexis, the fans fire up, but then Ethan DECKS Wes! Eddy ROCKS and KICKS, KICKS, and SOBATS on Ethan! Wes runs up, Eddy gets around to GERMAN SUPLEX!

Lexis POSTS himself! Wes BOOTS Ethan, Eddy kicks Wes, then Eddy reels Wes in. Wes wrenches out, slips around, but Eddy elbows free. Eddy runs, Wes dodges, and Ethan holds the ropes down! Eddy tumbles up and out and to the floor!
Wes runs up, Ethan puts him on the apron, but Wes RAMS into Ethan! Eddy grabs at Wes, Wes kicks him away, but Ethan ROCKS Wes! Wes is stuck in the ropes, so Ethan hits a DRAPING CODE BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Wes survives, Ethan drags Wes up, but then he sees Lexis climbing a corner. Ethan pushes Wes aside to ROCK Lexis! Ethan then climbs up to join Lexis, reels him in, but they both fire body shots! Lexis CLUBS Ethan, Eddy UPPERCUTS Lexis! Eddy climbs up to work with Ethan, but then Wes throws hands on the legs! Wes gets under all of this, and the fans fire up for the TOWER OF DOOM!!
All four men are down while the fans cheer on “NXT! NXT!” for making this the opener! Lexis flops out of the ring, Ethan and Eddy flounder, but Wes runs, SHOOTING STAR on Ethan! Cover, Eddy breaks it! The fans fire up as Wes and Eddy stand to trade forearms! Wes fires a body shot then a forearm, but Eddy fires a forearm, an UPPERCUT, and a KICK! Eddy snarls, but Ethan waistlocks! Eddy fires elbows to get free, but Wes BOOTS Eddy! Ethan DUMPS Eddy out, Wes DECKS Ethan! Wes builds speed and he DIVES into Lexis! Ethan let Lexis take that shot while he grabs Eddy. Eddy blocks the apron bump to elbow Ethan!
Eddy runs up, Ethan dodges, and Eddy almost hits Ricky! Ricky says watch it, but then Ethan SHOVES Eddy into Ricky! The fans go nuts, Ricky is pissed, and he THROWS Eddy aside to get at Ethan! The ref tries to stop this, but Ricky is too heated, so the ref EJECTS Ricky from ringside! The fans boo but Ethan just mockingly waves bye-bye. Ricky warns Ethan, the fans chant, “Ref, You Suck!” but NXT goes to break.
NXT returns and Lexis ROCKS Wes. Lexis reels Wes in, but Ethan BOOTS Lexis down! Ethan then scoops Wes to SLAM him onto Lexis! Ethan then THROWS Lexis into Eddy! Ethan drags Lexis up, but Lexis slips free of the Canadian Rack! Lexis grabs the arms, crosses them, then reels Ethan in, but Ethan trips Lexis up! Ethan turns Lexis over, BOSTON CRAB! The fans are torn as Lexis endures, and Lexis claws at the mat! Lexis crawls forward, but Ethan drags him back from the ropes! Wes runs up, Ethan ducks the lariat, but then Eddy YANKS Wes outta the ring! Eddy clamps onto Lexis with a CROSSFACE!!
Lexis endures double submissions, but then Wes STOPS Lexis from tapping!! The fans are thunderous, but Eddy is furious! Eddy lets go of Lexis to STOMP Wes down! Eddy then BOOTS Ethan down! Eddy goes up a corner as the fans duel, and Lexis UPPERCUTS Eddy! Lexis climbs, fires forearms on Eddy, and Eddy falls to the apron! Ethan CLUBS Lexis! Ethan has an Electric Chair, then he has Eddy in a facelock! But Wes goes up, up, and CANNONBALLS onto a DOOMSDAY DDT COMBO!! The fans are going nuts all over again while all four men are down!

Cover, Lexis YANKS Wes up! CORONATION!! But Ethan has Lexis! TWISTED GRIN!! Cover, ETHAN WINS!
Winner: Ethan Page, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the NXT North American Championship)
Ethan smirks as he takes advantage of this golden opportunity. Ethan grabs a mic to say, “Well, I guess that makes me the man then, huh?” The fans are torn but Ethan says he is the #1 contender. Ethan knows he isn’t the guy Ricky wanted to win, and he has every right to believe that. Because everyone remembers their first. And the first championship in WWE for Ricky was ruined by Ethan Page! At Stand & Deliver, Ricky’s first title defense will also be ruined by- RICKY SPEARS ETHAN!! No more ringside ban, and the champ gets some payback! But will Las Vegas be absolute? Or will All Ego’s ego only expand exponentially this Saturday?
Jordynne Grace speaks.
“What you see today as The Juggernaut, multiple time TNA Knockouts Champion, this wasn’t how I started. I wasn’t scouted, I never had ‘star power,’ never really been a beauty queen. If it were possible to have negative aura, that is who I was. I was just a little girl wrestling in half-empty gyms, trying to find a place to fit in a world that didn’t seem built for me. I knew what people saw, or really rather what they didn’t see. But something I did have that not a lot of people in wrestling do, is self-awareness. So I finally stopped wishing that I had what I was supposed to have, and started building what I could become.
“I turned insecurity into intensity, doubt into discipline, and that was the day The Juggernaut was born. I fell in love with getting stronger. I became laser focused into building my body into an atomic bomb. Waking up at 3AM to train, jumping into a car to drive 8 hours to wrestle, hit another gym session after that, then sleep two hours and do it all over again the next day. And as hard as that was, I was obsessed with it. It was a way that I could stand out against all the other women. And to me, it was the only way. I wanted the WWE Universe to say, ‘Yeah, the WWE women are killing it, but have you seen Jordynne Grace over in TNA? That’s Jordynne Grace!?’
“I’ve put in the work so that no one could ignore me. I forced my way into the conversation and made people believe in The Juggernaut the way I believed in myself. Now, the biggest hurdle of my career is right in front of me this Saturday, when I have the opportunity to become NXT Women’s Champion. And just like I’ve been my entire career, I’m aware of exactly what I’m gonna have to do to leave Vegas with my first WWE championship.” Jordynne is ready, but will Grace survive in Sin City?
The NXT Women’s Division holds another watch party.
Sol Ruca asks Zaria who she thinks will take the last two spots in the Women’s North American Championship Ladder Match. Zaria isn’t sure, but it won’t matter when the outcome will be the same. Sol agrees there, because it’ll be one of them as the champ. Oh, really? Doesn’t Sol mean Zaria? Kelani Jordan hears this and takes offense. She thought #ZaRuca was fine. Uh, they are. New shirts and everything, thanks for asking. Well, it won’t be either of them, because Kelani’s going to be a TWO-TIME Women’s North American Champion. And she’ll show everyone why no one can do it like Lan- Izzi Dame interjects.
Izzi says good one, idiots. But y’know who Izzi misses these days? The old Kelani. She was way more likeable. Old Kelani, new Kelani, it won’t matter when Izzi’s the one on top of the ladder, holding the title, and bringing it home to The Culling. Keep dreaming, Izzi, it’ll never happen. Those two both head out, and Sol says it’s just like she said, either her or Zaria will walk out as champion. Zaria says sure, something like that. But to the point, who will get the remaining spots and fill out the six pack?
NXT Women’s North American Championship Ladder Match Qualifier: Tatum Paxley w/ Gigi Dolin VS Lola Vice!
The weird girls are hungry for some gold, but so is the MMA Mamacita! Will Tatum take over? Or will there be a Vice in Sin City?

The fans rally, Lola fights around and reels Tatum into a TRIANGLE HOLD! Tatum high stacks, TWO! Lola lets Tatum go, but then BODY BLOWS! Tatum drops to her knees, Lola clamps on with a headlock, and Lola hits a takeover. Tatum fights around, but Lola puts on the pressure. Tatum fights up, Lola thrashes, but Tatum powers up and out.

Tatum crawls under the ring? Lola grabs at Tatum but Tatum kicks her away!

Tatum grabs Lola’s arm, stomps it, then twists the wrist! Lola endures, but Tatum SLAMS the arm off the mat! Tatum bends the fingers, mockingly high-fives the hand, but Lola kicks her away! Tatum comes back and wrenches again, but Lola wrenches and WRINGS it in return! Lola SOBATS Tatum, whips and KNEES her low, and Tatum is in the ropes. Lola goes to the apron to AX KICK Tatum down!

Tatum endures, even as Lola thrashes her around. Tatum fights up, RAMS Lola into a corner, but Lola holds on! Tatum RAMS Lola into another corner, but Lola clamps on again!
Tatum pries at the hold, RAMS Lola into the corner again, and now she’s free. Only to run up into headscissors! Tatum brings Lola off the corner to POWERBOMB! NXT returns to single picture as both women rise. Tatum dodges a kick, and she CLOBBERS Lola! And CLOBBERS her again! And ENZIGIRIS! Tatum wrenches Lola for a NECKBREAKER!

Winner: Lola Vice, by pinfall (advances to Stand & Deliver)
Lola got the knockout, and now she’s punched her ticket to Las Vegas! Will everything come up LV this Saturday?
Giulia speaks.
“For the past few weeks, I watched Stephanie bask in the glory of being a double champion. I waited and waited for her to give me a rematch, but it never happened. Friendships only go so far when it comes to the NXT Women’s Championship. Last week, I reminded Stephanie of what Beautiful Madness is. Jaida Parker? I don’t know her, but I can tell she is very confident. She likes to dish out punishment, but she doesn’t like to take it. Jordynne Grace is strong, but on Saturday, I will introduce her to Strong Style. Jordynne and Jaida are obstacles in my way to Stephanie. My goal was to win the NXT Women’s Championship. Losing it only made me more dangerous.
“Last year at Stand & Deliver, I introduced myself. This year, I leave as the NXT Women’s Champion.” Giulia is ready, will all succumb to the Beautiful Madness?
A car pulls up real fast.
And out steps Trick Williams! #CrashOutTrick looks ready for a fight, will he find one this close to his NXT Championship Triple Threat?
Ava Raine is arguing with The Fatal Influence and Meta Four!
The NXT General Manager is trying to get Fallon Henley, Jacy Jayne, Jazmyn Nyx, Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson to all listen to her, but then Gigi & Tatum stumble in. Gigi brings up this other opportunity Ava talked about last week, and Ava says yes, that’s what this is about. But Jacy says it won’t be an opportunity for Gigi & Tatum. Ava says hold on, hold on. Everyone will get their opportunity at Stand & Deliver. There will be a Triple Threat Tag Team match, and after talking it over with Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis, the winners will get a WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match for the NXT after WrestleMania.
Tatum & Gigi are fired up, as are the Meta Girls and Fatal Influence, but then Roxie storms in and says she just knew Ava would do this. Every single woman is going to be on Stand & Deliver except for Roxie, the woman who made this division the best Women’s Division in the WORLD! Ava says yes, hi, how are you, Roxie? Good job losing to Tiffany on SmackDown last Friday. But clearly she didn’t get enough because she’s back here bothering Ava. But hey, if Roxie can charm herself a tag partner, then Ava will happily make this a Fatal 4 Way. The others chuckle and Roxie says Ava has always had it out for her,
Roxie storms off and the others sarcastically wish her luck. Will Roxie be able to salvage one of the many bridges she’s burned around here? Or will the Prodigy be out of luck this close to Stand & Deliver?
NXT Tag Team Championships #1 Contenders Gauntlet!
Speaking of luck, the luck of the draw is going to be tested, and the team that survives the odds will battle Nathan Frazer & Axiom for the titles! But who do we have first? It’s Hank ‘n’ Tank! The Street Profits told them to just be themselves and it’ll be alright, but will Hank ‘n’ Tank be able to run the table?

Gunther is here!
Sacramento boos Der Ring General as he storms to the ring. Michael Cole was going to interview the World Heavyweight Champion later tonight, but it seems Gunther wants to get to it. Gunther and Cole meet in the ring, Cole says two weeks ago, he left Jimmy Uso bloodied in this ring. That caused Jey Uso to march out here last week- Gunther cuts Cole off to says that last week, Jey walked out here, looked Gunther in the eyes, and claimed he’s not afraid anymore. The fans boo as Gunther says this week, he is here to look us all in the eyes to tell us that Jey Uso is full of crap! Cole understands the fans are upset, but speaking of that, it seems Gunther is also upset.
We saw last year at WrestleMania, when… The fans “YEET! YEET! YEET!” and Gunther says screw the questions! Screw Jey Uso! Screw everything Jey stands for! And screw everybody who stands with Jey! The fans boo more, and Gunther says ever since he stepped for in the WWE, he is the greatest gift this company has ever received! For 80% of his time in the WWE, he has been a champion! And now, he is the GREATEST World Heavyweight Champion of all time! The fans boo more, but Gunther says he refuses to let somebody like Jey Uso ruin that for him. The fans “YEET!” more and he says fine, do it as much as you want!
Gunther tells Jey to puff his chest out, walk into WrestleMania with the most confidence he’s ever had, because it won’t matter! In the end, the bell has to ring! And when that happens, Jey still can’t lace Gunther’s boots! Gunther will put Jey down for a FOURTRH time! These last two weeks, Gunther has been accused, told he went too far, that he lost control. Jey, trust one thing: In 37 years of LIFE, Gunther has never lost control! The fans chant “You Suck! You Suck!” Gunther says two weeks ago, when he took a bath in Jimmy’s blood, Gunther was in full control, and he LOVED it!
And Jey, go pray to the Lord, thank Him for how Gunther was in control, or else he would’ve drowned them both in Jimmy’s blood! Gunther looks forward to next week, calling his mother and telling her how much he enjoyed beating the living hell out of Jey, and is STILL World Heavyweight Champion! Gunther storms off, having done his part for tonight. Will nothing and no one stop Der Ring General from destroying Jey?
Bianca Belair speaks.
“I’ll be the first to admit that lately, I’ve been in my head. Everything that’s happened with Jade and Naomi, it really messed me up. And now, this whole situation with Iyo and Rhea has brought out a different version of me. But different isn’t wrong. My Road to WrestleMania has filled with nothing but blood, sweat and tears. Not no complaining, no whining, no excuses. No, just straight facts. I’ve been doing nothing but standing up for myself and speaking the truth, something that anybody would do. Something I would hope people are teaching their kids to do. And you don’t have to like the truth, but you can’t deny it.
“Just like I can’t deny now it’s a Triple Threat. Yeah, I’ve been through a lot. But I’m still the best. So I’ma use the bit of everything that I’ve been through to be the Bianca I know I can be. I’m the Bianca that won Elimination Chamber, I’m the Bianca that’s never been pinned at WrestleMania, and I’m the strongest, the fastest, the roughest, the toughest, the quickest, the greatest, the best Bianca that you have ever seen. So it doesn’t matter if it’s a Triple Threat, because there’s nothing that Rhea or Iyo can do to stop me from getting my flowers and walking out of WrestleMania as champion. Because you cannot spell WrestleMania without E S T.”
Bayley w/ Lyra Valkyria VS Liv Morgan w/ Raquel Rodriguez!
The Role Model and the Morrigan ran the table on Friday Night SmackDown’s tag team gauntlet, and now they’re going to WrestleMania! Will they have even more momentum going into that WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match? Or will the leading ladies of Judgment Day refuse to give up the spotlight even now?
Raw returns and Bayley has made her entrance, Lyra by her side. The bell rings, the fans rally up, and Bayley circles with Liv. They approach, and Liv SLAPS Bayley! Liv laughs, but Bayley smirks. Liv apologizes, then runs away! Bayley chases Liv around the outside, but then they slip into the ring. Liv stomps away on Bayley, the fans are torn but the ref counts. Liv stops at 4, and Liv bumps Bayley off buckles. Liv stomps a mudhole, but again stops at 4. Liv then stomps another mudhole in, and shouts, “OKAAAY~!” as she lets off. The fans are torn, Liv stands Bayley up, but Bayley fires forearms! The fans fire up, Liv swings, but into a fireman’s carry!

The fans fire up but Liv hits Bayley with a BACKSTABBER!! And then OBLIV- NO, Lyra anchors Bayley’s feet! Bayley jackknife bridges, AND WINS!
Winner: Bayley, by pinfall
A huge bit of teamwork leads to a huge win over one-half of the tag champions! Liv is livid, will she and Raquel get their revenge at WrestleMania?
Paul Heyman waits backstage.
And like usual, he’s waiting on The Tribal Chief. Will Roman Reigns even bother with The Wise Man knowing he’ll be in CM Punk’s corner at WrestleMania?
Rhea Ripley speaks.
“Bianca, I can see right through you. You said you were just out there to watch, and then you said you were just out there to call it down the middle. But I can see your true intentions now: You thrive on playing with my emotions, winding me up like I’m some sort of toy to you so you can get what you want and make it seem like I’m the bad guy. The thing that you failed to understand is that when I lose something that I love, I wills top at nothing to get it back. And Iyo, I never had to give you a championship match. But watching you pout and moan, it really pulled on the heartstrings that I had left. So I pulled a page out of your book, and I got what I wanted, too.
“So Iyo, I advise you to cherish every single moment you have with the Women’s World Championship. And Bianca, I can’t wait to make you feel what it’s like when I’m the bad guy. Because at WrestleMania 41, I get back what belongs to me.”
Rey Mysterio w/ The LWO VS Julius Creed w/ Team American Made!
Before going up against the supposed greatest luchador of a generation, El Grande Americano, the King of Lucha will take on one of the Creed Brothers. But is this going to be far more than just a tune-up? Or will Rey speed-dial the 619 here in Sacramento?
Raw returns and American Made has made their entrance. The bell rings, Rey and Julius circle, then Rey waistlocks. Julius backs Rey into a corner, the ref counts, and Rey lets go. Julius elbows Rey down! The fans boo but Julius pushes Rey around. Julius wrenches Rey, wristlocks, but Rey endures. Julius uses a straight arm lever to lift Rey! Then he drops Rey, grinds the arm down, but Rey fires forearms! Rey uses the ropes to flip through, then he KICKS, KICKS, and KICKS! Julius wrenches, hammerlocks, but Rey reaches back! Rey jumps up, FLYING-MARE! Julius runs back up to CLOBBER Rey!
Julius talks trash, American Made soaks up the heat, and Julius whips Rey. Rey reverses, then blows past to tilt-o-whirl and RANA! The fans fire up as Julius tumbles to a corner! Rey fires up, but Julius comes back to CLOBBER him again! Cover, TWO! The fans rally for Rey but Julius clamps on a chinlock. Rey endures, the fans rally up more, and Rey fights up. Rey throws body shots, runs, but Julius kitchen sink knees him down! Julius stands Rey up, whisp him to ropes, but Rey KICKS back! Rey dropkicks the legs and Julius ends up on ropes! Rey dials it up, but Julius dumps Rey out! Rey RAMS into Julius, ROCKS him, then climbs up!
The fans fire up, but Brutus distracts the ref! This lets Gable trip Rey up! The fans boo but Julius is right up top! So now Wilde distracts, and that lets Dragon Lee trip Julius! Turnabout is fair play, but now both teams are protesting! So the ref EJECTS everybody! Things will truly be 1v1, after the break!
Raw returns again and Julius has a neck wrench on Rey. Julius whips Rey hard to a corner, runs up, but Rey ELBOWS him! And BOOTS him! Rey goes up, up, but Julius Electric Chair Lifts! Rey fires hands, then spins to MYSTERIO RANA! Both men fall out of the ring pretty hard, but Rey gets back inside! Rey WRECKS Julius with a dropkick, the fans fire up, and Rey builds speed to SLIDING- NO, Julius stuffs Rey into a deadlift suplex! Julius marches with Rey, and then goes up the steel steps! Julius has Rey at the ropes, but Rey fights free! Julius BOOTS Rey back! Julius runs up, Rey moves, Julius POSTS himself!
The fans fire up while Julius flops into the ring. Rey hurries back up, climbs the corner, and FLYING RANAS! Julius ends up in a corner, Julius climbs up again, and he rains down fists! The fans count all the way to TEN! Rey fires up, the fans are with him, and Rey whips Julius corner to corner. Julius springs right up, goes over, but then Rey QUEBRADAS! But Julius catches him! Rey swings through to DDT! Cover, TWO! The fans fire up while both men are down! “This is Awesome!” as Rey rises, and he brings Julius around. Julius blocks the whip, shakes his head, and he whips Rey. Rey slides under, comes back, but Julius KNEES Rey down!
Julius brings down the straps, runs up, but Rey DUMPS Julius out tot he floor! Wait, El Grande Americano is here! Rey runs up, grabs him by his mask, but then Julius rolls Rey up! TWO!! Julius gets up, swings, but Rey shoves Julius into El Grande! Rey dropkicks Julius onto the ropes! Dial it up, 619!! Slingshot, DROP THE DIME! Cover, Rey wins!
Winner: Rey Mysterio, by pinfall
But then El Grande CLOBBERS Rey! The fans boo, the LWO returns, but Julius holds them off! Grande CLOBBERS Cruz, but Dragon Lee fires off forearms! Dragon Lee whips, but Grande FLYING HEADBUTTS! The fans boo, but now Grande goes up top! DIVING HEADBUTT onto Rey! “UH GRACIAS~!” That mask is definitely loaded like last week, but will Rey be able to overcome that tactic and win for the honor of true lucha libre?
The War Raiders speak.
Ivar says, “Xavier, Kofi, you run your mouths about how the New Day is the greatest tag team of all time.” Erik says, “The fact of the matter is, the War Raiders have blazed a path of world domination for more than a decade. We’ve won gold on multiple continents.” “And last week, we had you beat, dead to rights.” The New Day took the cowardly way out because they knew they couldn’t beat the Raiders. The New Day says this is about the titles, but it has gotten much more personal. Kofi & Woods took this to a whole new level. They didn’t come for these titles, they came for Erik’s neck! They tried to put Erik on the shelf! They tried to end his career!
So at WrestleMania, this won’t be a match! It’ll barely be a fight! This is WAR!
The New Day is backstage.
They’re busy playing the Clash of Clans WWE crossover game, not that they’re in it. But Jackie Redmond walks over to talk with them. The New Day says that is rude, they’re busy playing a game. This lack of respect is audacious. Jackie does apologize, but she brings up the War Raiders saying that this match at Mania is now a war. War? New Day’s been in war from how they’ve been treated this whole time! The whole time! But the warpath stops when they take back what belongs to them, and that’s their WWE World Tag Team Championships! The entire world will see that ya bois, the NEW DAY~, are the best team on the face of Planet Earth!
Last week was just a taste of what they’re willing to do to get those titles back. And after Mania, Erik will wish they took his head off so that he and Ivar wouldn’t have to catch the beating they’re getting this weekend. At WrestleMania, every irrelevant and immature member of the WWE Universe will have no choice but to drop to their knees and THANK GOD for the New Day! Woods & Kofi head out, but will they survive this WrestleMania weekend?
AJ Styles VS Karrion Kross w/ Scarlett Bordeaux!
Before taking on The Maverick, Logan Paul, at WrestleMania, the Phenomenal One is going to prove to Mr. & Mrs. Doomsday that this AJ Styles IS the AJ Styles that can get the job done! Does that mean Raw is going to be Too Sweet? Or will Kross be disappointed?
Raw returns as Kross makes his entrance, his femme fatale by his side. Kross is really taking this mirroring stuff to another level, wearing tights very similar to what Styles would wear. Kross still wants Styles to understand, Styles has to be like the Styles of the past in order to finally humble Logan Paul and save professional wrestling. Styles gets mad, but Kross shoves him! Styles RAMS Kross into the corner, RAMS him again and again, but lets off as the ref counts. Styles storms back up, whips corner to corner, but Kross reverses. Kross runs up, but Styles BOOTS him away. Kross comes back to BOOT Styles down!
The fans boo but Kross stomps Styles around. Kross talks trash, but Styles KICKS Kross! And CHOPS! Kross YANKS Styles into ropes, then CHOKES him! The ref counts, Kross says it doesn’t have to be this way, but he lets off as the ref pulls him back. Scarlett CLAWS at Styles’ face in the distraction! The fans boo but Kross stomps Styles. Kross drags Styles up, but Styles JAWBREAKERS back! Styles runs up, but into a SAIDO! The fans boo, Kross stalks Styles to a corner, then he stomps away. Kross whips corner to corner hard, and Styles clutches his ribs as he falls. Kross laughs at Styles’ pain, then stomps him more.
Kross drags Styles up, but Styles DRPOKICKS Kross down! The fans cheer, Kross bails out, and Styles slides to DROPKICK! Kross hits barriers, then Styles PLANCHAS! Kross moves, Styles lands safe on the apron, but Kross sweeps the legs! Kross then whips Styles hard into barriers! Styles almost falls onto that guy cosplaying the Prime bottle. Kross whips Styles hard into more barriers, and Styles falls into the timekeeper’s area! Scarlett kisses Kross’ hand while he soaks up heat, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns Kross has a chinlock. Styles fights up, fires body shots, but Kross KNEES low! Kross scoops and hits a BACKBREAKER! Kross scoops again, but Styles slips free! Styles goes for a leg but Kross stifles that and shoves Styles to a cover, TWO! Kross drags Styles up, reels him in, but Styles fights the bomb! Kross stops the rana, fireman’s carries, FINAL PRAYER! Cover, TWO!! Styles survives but Kross asks if Styles is sandbagging. Kross looms over Styles, the fans rally up, and Kross smirks as Styles rises. Kross swings, but Styles counter punches! And counter punches! And CHOPS, CHOPS, KICKS!
Styles KICKS Kross again, then whips. Kross hobbles then falls over, clutching his knee! The fans boo, thinking this is an act. Scarlett checks Kross as he clutches the ankle. Styles asks the ref about this, but then Kross sucker punches Styles! It WAS an act, and the fans boo that Kross got away with it! Kross shimmies and shuffles, then taunts Styles. Styles runs up to CLOBBER Kross! Styles fires off the PHENOMENAL BLITZ! SLIDING FOREARM! The fans fire up, Styles runs in at the corner to LARIAT Kross! Fireman’s carry, but Kross slips free! Kick and DDT! Kross vows to end it, and the fans boo as Kross throws off his elbow pad.
Styles rises as Kross winds the hands of time. KROSS- NO, Styles ducks the hammer and fireman’s carries! USHIGOROSHI! Kross hobbles, Styles runs up, but Kross puts him on the apron! Styles HOTSHOTS Kross, then DECKS him! The fans fire up, Kross rises, PHENOMENAL FOREARM! Cover, Styles wins!
Winner: AJ Styles, by pinfall
Kross put Styles to the test, and that was definitely Styles acing that test! But then Logan Paul appears! Sacramento boos Logan as he walks out with mic in hand. Logan asks what’s up with the hostility. Chill, he’s here to congratulate Styles. No, seriously, good win! He did it! In front of Sacramento, “a bunch of people who weren’t cool enough to live in Los Angeles, or work smart enough to live in San Francisco.” But Styles showed these “generic California losers” why Styles VS Logan is gonna cook! But hey, why not show them why it’ll make money? Here is what Styles is up against. Please enjoy this piece of cinema.
Logan has his own hype video package, “I accomplish more in one weekend than you all will in your entire lives. I didn’t join the WWE to take part, I joined to take over.” Styles grabs a mic to say that’s a cute video, smartass. But let’s start Mania earlier! Get your ass to the ring right now! The fans fire up for that! Logan says okay, and he steps closer. But Kross runs up on Styles! Styles ROCKS Kross, ROCKS Logan, repeat! Styles DECKS Logan, ROCKS him again, btu Kross scoops! Styles slips free, REVERSE DDT! Styles snarls at Kross, but Logan is up! ONE LUCKY RIGHT!! Then the PAUL-VERIZER!! The Maverick is feeling so “humble,” but will he be humbled at Mania?
Paul Heyman is still waiting…
Will he be waiting all night at this rate?
Jey Uso is here!
The fans fire up as Main Event Jey pops right through the curtain to walk down the bleachers. Sacramento bounces for him and they “YEET!” along with the song, but Jey is once again very serious. Jey goes to the ground level, but then stands on the desk for everyone to see him. Jey grabs the mic while the bouncing continues, and the fans cheer as the song dies down. Jey takes a breath, fans “YEET! YEET! YEET!” and chant “One More Time! One More Time!” Jey says okay, and the song starts up again! The bouncing starts up again, and then Jey paces as he waits for the music to die down.
“Aight, check it. I said what I had to say to Gunther last week.” “YEET!” “But I really wanted to come out here and holler at y’all.” “YEET!” Jey says what up, Sac Town! Mama out here somewhere in the crowd. But everyone keeps on asking Jey, “Jey, where your mind at?” Is he crashing out? HELL YEAH he’s crashing out! But he’s locked in! Locked in for him! For his family! And for y’all! Check it out, though. Listen to Gunther out here talking. Y’know what that made Jey feel like? He mad. Nah nah nah… Gunther’s afraid! Yeah, Gunther’s afraid! Afraid that Jey will whoop that ass in front of 60 THOUSAND and the world! See you Saturday, Uce!
Jey says one time for the one time… Hey, Uce, please, PLEASE hit his music! UH UH, YEET!! The fans fire up as the bouncing starts up yet again! Jey has all the confidence, all the fire, all the momentum. But will he have it all when it’s all said and done in Las Vegas?
Backstage interview with Bron Breakker.
Cathy Kelley is with the Badass WWE Intercontinental Champion and brings up this Sunday, the Fatal 4 Way that stacks the odds against him. How is he handling what could be the biggest defense of his career? Bron says obviously, this is the biggest match of his career. And- JUDGMENT DAY ATTACKS! Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio & Carlito mug Bron! They stomp him around, then THROW him onto a road case! They still rain down fists, and Finn says the dog’s bark is worse than his bite! They CHUCK Bron into more road cases! Adam Pearce and producers storm in and stop The Judgment Day, but will Bron be alright in just 6 days?
As for Finn, he has a match to get to! Will The Prince be ready for #CeroMiedo?
PENTA VS Finn Balor!
Raw returns and Finn makes his entrance, only for Penta to DROPKICK him off the apron! Penta then FLIES and takes Finn down! Penta strikes first since Finn did that to Bron, and the fans love it! Penta puts Finn in the ring, then storms in after him. The bell rings, the fans fire up as Penta runs up, but Finn puts him on the apron. Penta GAMANGIRIS, then goes up, up, and CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO! Finn kicks Penta low, then brings Penta around. Penta WRINGS free, then traps that arm! But Finn trips Penta! Penta BOOTS Finn away, then pump handles! Finn pops free, dragon sleepers, but Penta drops to KICK from below!
Penta runs up to ENZIGIRI in the corner, then he headstands and SWINGING DROPKICKS! Cover, TWO! Finn stays in this, the fans cheer for “CERO! MIEDO!” Penta nods and storms up on Finn to KICK the leg out! Finn flounders, stands back up, but Penta KICKS the leg again! Penta stalks Finn, and KICKS Finn’s leg out again! The fans fire up while Finn flounders around more. Penta has Finn on the ropes, hushes the fans, and he CHOPS! Finn is stinging as he staggers away, and the fans fire up as they want even more of that! Penta whips, Finn reverses, but Penta sunset flips. Finn rolls through to basement DROPKICK! Cover, TWO!
Finn keeps Penta down with an ELBOW, then a chinlock. Finn grinds Penta down, Penta endures, and the fans rally. Penta fights up, but Finn yanks the mask! Finn has Penta down, and he soaks up the heat. Finn drags Penta, then jumps stomps! Finn soaks up more heat, jump stomps again, then argues with the ref. Finn taunts Sacramento, stomps Penta again and again and again! The ref counts, Finn stops, but he soaks up more heat. Finn goes back to Penta and says “Just Too Sweet!” They go to the apron, and Penta scoops! Finn slips free, and APRON EYE OF THE HURRICANE! Both men are down on the outside while Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and Finn has Penta up top! And then the very top! SUPER DUPER PLEX! Cover, TWO!! Penta stays in this and the fans fire up! Finn grows frustrated, but he clamps onto an arm for a FUJIWARA ARMBAR! The fans rally up, Penta fights to his feet, and Penta fires hands. Penta arm-drags free, then ducks ‘n ‘dodges, for a RANA! Finn flounders up, Penta LARIATS! And LARIATS! The fans fire up again as Penta then SUPERKICKS Finn! Finn wobbles, Penta whips, but Finn reverses, only for Penta to go up and over! BACKSTABBER! Cover, TWO! Finn survives and Penta is frustrated, but the fans fire back up.
Penta stalks Finn, the fans sing, “OLE~ OLE OLE OLE~! CERO~! MIEDO~!” Penta has Finn in the corner, he puts Finn up top, and then he CHOPS! Penta calls his shot and the fans cheer that.

The Prince got handed the win tonight, but will Penta take it all with his #CeroMiedo?
Iyo Sky speaks.
“This message is for Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley. You keep forgetting that I’M the Women’s World Champion. You push me out of the way of your petty squabbles like I mean nothing. But I’m the whole reason you’re fighting in the first place, aren’t I? Because I have the one thing you both want: The Women’s World Championship! So, I’m done being ignored. I’m done being forgotten. Because you have to go through ME to get this title, and I’m not afraid to take you both on to defend it. I’ve beaten both of you before, and I’ll beat you again! At WrestleMania, you will never forget the name Iyo Sky, Women’s World Champion.”
Paul Heyman is still waiting, but CM Punk joins him!
Punk sits down with a coffee and says he’s never seen The Wise Man so stressed. Look in his eyes, what do you see? The Cult of Personality? No, a real friend. A friend who would never do anything to put Heyman in harm’s way. But then a car is pulling up. It’s ROMAN! Roman sees Punk and Heyman being buddy-buddy, and he storms off! Heyman tries to catch up to his Tribal Chief, but Roman won’t even look at him. Will this favor cause the break-up of Roman and Heyman?
Roman goes to the ring!
The fans cheer and put the ones up as The OTC makes his entrance, Wise Man trailing behind. What will happen with Roman, Heyman, Punk, and Seth Rollins, all in the building this close to WrestleMania? We find out, after the break.
Raw returns rather quickly, and Roman is now in the ring. He raises his finger up for the pyro and the fans cheer. Heyman has the mic while the fans chant “O T C! O T C!” Heyman tentatively holds it out for Roman, but Roman doesn’t take it! Roman gets a mic for himself, leaving Heyman a bit dismayed, but the cheering continues. Roman tells, “Sacramento…! ACKNOWLEDGE ME!” The fans cheer and put up the ones as they cheer on “O T C! O T C!” Roman says, “The whole world can feel that. The whole world can hear that you love and acknowledge your Tribal Chief. And now the whole world understands that you would never betray your Tribal Chief.
“But not everybody’s like you. Some people would betray me. Sacramento, you got any guesses on who that might be?” Obviously it’s Heyman that Roman is referring to, but Roman asks The Wise Man, “How could you betray me?” The fans tell Heyman he messed up. Roman says Heyman can’t hear that well, say it louder. The fans get louder with it, and Heyman is a bit surly about that. Heyman goes to talk, but he reconsiders. Roman still asks him why, and Heyman is at a loss for words. The fans boo, but some do chant for “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” Roman smirks as Heyman finally says, “My Tribal Chief… It was not a betrayal. I paid back a favor that I owed.”
Roman doesn’t seem to like that answer, but he still smirks. Sacramento, maybe Roman’s a little confused here, but the way favors work is, you usually pay it back yourself, correct? The fans say yes. Roman says it feels the only one getting screwed here is him! And if there’s one thing about Roman Reigns, if there’s one thing about The Tribal Chief, it’s that he’d never ask for a favor. No, Roman takes what he wants! So Roman doesn’t owe a favor, because he never asked for any help, for anyone to join him at WarGames, so how is he supposed to cover the tab for Heyman’s dumbass favor? But now, “BURN IT DOWN!”
Seth Rollins makes his way out, and Roman is no longer in any good mood as the fans sing “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” Rollins struts out in a leather vest and black pants that both have a lot of pockets. Rollins steps into the ring, grabs himself a mic, and the fans continue to sing, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” Rollins tells Sacramento, “Let’s give it up for Your Tribal Chief! Because after over a decade, you’re finally getting it, man! You’re finally putting the pieces together all by yourself! You’re almost there, you’re just missing one little piece, and it’s a real shame it’s too little, it’s too late, cuz I still gotta end you at WrestleMania.”
Rollins says it is for the same reason that it always has been: It’s the right thing to do! This Triple Threat at WrestleMania is the BIGGEST, most IMPORTANT one in the history of Mania, of the WWE, of professional wrestling! Because the winner of this match will define the future of this industry. And it can’t be Roman, it can’t be Punk. Because this business is filled with people like Roman, people who show up when it is convenient, expecting everyone else to do all the work. That’s how this business dies! Roman finally sees it can’t be Punk, either.
This business is filled with too many “little Punks” running around who wanna pick up their ball and go home when it gets tough, only to come back and leech off the profits of other people’s success, and that’s how this business dies! The fans chant for Punk but Rollins says okay, they want this business to die? Rollins doesn’t! If there are more people in this business like Rollins, who always sacrifices physical and mental well-being to do what is best for business, then the business not only lives, but it thrives! There can be only one, and it’s gotta be Rollins.
As for that one little piece that Roman hasn’t quite figured out… “Favors don’t happen by chance, Roman. Favors are a choice. I chose not to put Paul Heyman in the hospital last week, and now Paul Heyman can choose whether or not he pays that debt to me. But your Wise Man, he is dishonorable as they come, he is a scumbag, and I expect nothing from him.” The fans boo and Heyman frowns, but Rollins says Heyman is not in CM Punk’s corner by chance. Heyman has made a choice. It isn’t just a betrayal, Roman. What Roman needs to ask himself, what that final piece is, Heyman isn’t just returning a favor, he’s choosing. So why is Heyman choosing Punk over Roman?
Heyman tells Roman he’s not doing that, but Roman seems to be thinking Rollins has a point. Roman tells The Wise Man that Rollins is right, Heyman made his choice. But Roman has made his. LARIAT FOR ROLLINS! The fans fire up as Roman then POSTS Rollins! Rollins flops out of the ring, Heyman is very pleased, and he says he acknowledges his Tribal Chief! Roman nods, but then he PIE FACES Heyman!? Heyman is stunned, but here comes CM Punk! The fans fire up as Punk runs down to the ring, and he dodges Roman to fire hands! The fans fire up as they brawl, and then Punk LARIATS Roman up and out!
The fans are torn as Punk helps Heyman up. Heyman is distraught, but Roman is back! SPEAR for Punk!! Roman HAMMERS away on Punk! Roman shouts at Punk, HEADBUTTS him, but then Rollins returns! And with a chair! SMACK to the back of Roman Reigns, just like the night it all started! Sacramento is all fired up, and Rollins hits a CURB STOMP on Punk! And then CURB STOMP on Roman! Heyman is freaking out as both his guys are down! Rollins stares Heyman down, is Rollins’ favor going to come into play after all?
My Thoughts:
A great Raw, especially for the go-home to WrestleMania. Great promo from Gunther with how he “doesn’t wait” for the proper interview with Michael Cole, and very good response promo from Jey. Gunther definitely sounds a bit on edge, and considering he might lose two WrestleManias in a row as the start of his WrestleMania career, I suppose I would be, too. And very good promos from Bianca, Rhea & Iyo to hype up their match, though I can’t say that changes anything for the go-home math. Iyo stood tall last time, so there’s a chance Rhea or Bianca take the other out to get the win. Rhea and Bianca talking about who’s the bad guy in this, could we see Bianca go Heel?
Good promo from War Raiders and New Day, but unless they add a stipulation, I don’t necessarily see this being “a war” of a match. Well, maybe they can break something like ringside barriers. But I feel like New Day is going to win so that this Heel turn has actual results. Very good match from Bayley VS Liv, but Bayley winning here surely indicates Liv & Raquel retain. Rey VS Julius was really good, but the LWO and American Made all being ejected, that of course meant El Grande Americano would show up. Rey wins here, but then El Grande stands tall, so I would think Rey wins at Mania to expose Grande as Gable.
Very good match from Styles VS Kross, and naturally Styles won. That along with Logan & Kross getting the better of Styles after, this has to mean Styles wins at Mania. I don’t think it’s possible to get anything Bullet Club related, but WWE works with TNA pretty closely now so maybe they can use one of Styles’ themes from TNA to really bring us back to “the Styles that can beat Logan Paul.” Very good stuff with the Men’s Intercontinental Championship build, with Bron being jumped by Judgment Day, then Judgment Day trying to cost Penta, only for Bron to actually cost Penta and give Finn the win. Penta standing tall now sadly might cross him off, but I personally do think Dom pinning Finn or Finn pinning Dom is the better route going forward.
And of course, great stuff with the Punk-Rollins-Reigns story. Heyman finding himself stuck between Roman and Punk, with Roman starting to distance himself from Heyman, that’s also very good stuff going forward. Rollins stands tall again, so not sure if that means he takes the loss or is just not in the decision. No matter who wins, Heyman no longer being Roman’s manager is the best move. Roman needs to do things on his own again, and Heyman can reunite with Punk and perhaps help Punk towards a title. Punk did say that he’d be coming for THE WWE Championship at some point, Heyman by his side for that like 10 years ago would be something.
