Shawn Michaels meets with the Evolve roster.
The Heartbreak Kid walks into the room, shakes hands with NXT General Manager, Ava Raine, and welcomes the superstars. “And I hope you are very, very excited. Because each and every one of you are about to make history. You are about to show the world where wrestling evolves. Because tonight, I want to welcome each and every one of you to WWE Evolve on Tubi. Congratulations. And for one night only, on behalf of ‘The Mayor,’ I am gonna make the matches tonight. In our main event, it is sink or swim for some of our ID talent. Because you gentlemen are going to be in a Six Man Tag Team match.
“And even bigger than that, though, there can only be one first match on WWE Evolve. And tonight, that honor is going to go to our ladies. In a tag team match, it will be Kali Armstrong & Dani Palmer, and you two will take on the team of Kendal Grey & Carlee Bright. Good luck, ladies.” HBK says now they all know this is where dreams come true. So go out there and show the world that you belong. And it’ll be a blast watching each and every one of them Evolve. The pressure is on, who makes the biggest impact with their first steps here in the WWE?
WWE Evolve’s commentary team is Peter Rosenberg & Robert Stone!

And I’m proving it right now! Because Kali Armstrong’s gonna be the first Evolve winner!”

Dani runs in for SWINGING DOUBLE KNEE! Then a STANDING MOONSAULT, but onto knees! Carlee turns things around and the fans rally up!

Winners: Kendal Grey & Carlee Bright, by submission
It was a fast ‘n’ furious finish, but it was the team with history that made history! Carlee is very excited, Kendal calms her down, but they both celebrate their first big win here on Evolve! WWE Evolve correspondent Chuey Martinez is ringside, and he says, “That’s how you start Evolve max, baby!” Chuey introduces himself and asks how Carlee & Kendal are feeling. Carlee says she’s out of breath, but that was so much fun. It’s also a bit surreal. They do all this training in the Performance Center, and it led here. Hard work really pays off. They will always go down as a trivia question. Who won the first WWE Evolve match? Kendal & Carlee!
They high-five, the fans cheer, and Chuey asks Kendal how she’s feeling. Kendal says that is cool and all, but she isn’t here just to be a trivia question. Her eyelashes are coming off, she’s working so hard in that ring! She’s doing this so when the WWE Universe watches Evolve, they think about Kendal Grey! When they tune in, they see Kendal Grey dominating the Women’s Division! When they tune in every Wednesday, they think of Kendal Grey! Carlee still says they’re going to be best friends, but will this end up a one woman show?
WWE looks on the origins of Evolve.
Evolve Wrestling was “the breeding ground for tomorrow’s legends.” Many a future WWE superstar passed through Evolve to elevate their craft. It was more than just a stepping stone, it was a launching pad. Paul Heyman even appeared on the 10 Anniversary Show to say it himself: Evolve was the future of wrestling. “Arriving as aspiring talents, departing as seasoned warriors. Evolve provided them the grit to rise to the occasion, where the lights shined brightest. Evolve: the next evolution starts here.”
Jackson Drake talks with Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes.
Drake wants the boys to check him real quick. Is he tripping? Or did HBK just put #SwipeRight and Jackson Drake in WWE Evolve’s first main event? Brad says oh yes he did. “Hundos” he did. But don’t be that surprised. HBK sees there’s a bit of himself in each and every one of them. But what Smokes is interested in is seeing the talent outside the ring, if you know what he means. For sure, Ricky, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Business first, pleasure later. Well, Swipe Right is about pleasure before and after! Brad again says “Hundos.” But the thing about Swipe Right is, they’ve matched with your girlfriends, your wives, and your moms.
So WWE Evolve, everyone watching at home, you are looking at your next match. Will these smooth talking playboys really be the ones winning the very first Evolve main event? Or will their opponents swipe left on them?
There’s an Evolve VIP section?
And sitting in that section is The D’Angelo Family’s Luca Crusifino, and Evolve superstar “It’s Gal.” They’re keeping an eye on the competition, will they like what they see?
Sean Legacy talks with Cappuccino Jones and Jack Cartwheel.
Sean says tonight is a big moment for them. HBK picked these three to be in the very first WWE Evolve main event. That’s goosebumps just thinking about it! Jack slaps his forearm and says that’s right. He and Jones met at an indie show in a barn. All the cartwheels and all the caffeine that got them here, it’s crazy! Jones says it’s only crazy until it happens, and tonight, it’s happening. It has been brewing for a minute for all of them. But now, that pot is hot. Sean says life is about moments, and this is a moment they won’t forget. So they’ll show Jackson Drake, they’ll show Swipe Right, and they’ll show the fans why the three of them will always be super.
Keanu Carver VS Trill London!
The big man from the streets of Washington, DC has always been a fighter, and he doesn’t take lightly to those that get between him and what he wants. But the former NFL player from New York likes to be a standout in whatever way he can. Who truly stands out when they win Evolve’s first singles match?
The bell rings and the two tie up, and Keanu already gets a SLEEPER! Keanu thrashes Trill, THROWS him down, and Keanu wants the ref to call this. Trill goes to a corner, BOOTS in return, but Keanu throws Trill back in! Keanu fires hands from all sides, then DECKS Trill! The fans fire up as Keanu then scoops and FALL AWAY SLAMS Trill! Good thing Trill likes slasher movies, because he’s in one! Keanu drags Trill up but Trill fires body shots. Trill headlocks, but Keanu THROWS Trill away! Trill gets up, he ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Keanu goes the other way! Keanu POUNCES Trill halfway across the ring!
The fans fire up, Keanu whips and SKY HIGH POWERBOMBS Trill! Cover, Keanu wins!
Winner: Keanu Carver, by pinfall
Not only did Keanu just win Evolve’s first singles match, he dominated it! He says Trill never saw anything like him in the NFL! Keanu fought on the streets, hitting concrete! He is the hunter around here! He’ll put the fear of God into everyone here! But wait, why is Gal trying to photobomb Keanu’s camera time? Is his ego as big as his muscles? Peter Rosenberg steps in, and he brushes Gal aside to talk with Luca. What is Luca doing here at WWE Evolve? He’s here representing the Family. And while Tony D runs things on NXT, Luca will run things on Evolve. Everyone needs to fall in line, and just know that he knows everything that’s going on.
Then how is Luca liking Evolve so far? Luca likes all the fresh faces, and we saw Trill make his debut. Then there are a lot of heavy hitters from the WWE ID. But Luca assures us, none of them have been up against a heavy hitter like him. Peter brings up the familiar faces in WWE Evolve. Luca says if he already knows them, he’s not worried about them. The future of Evolve is Luca Crusifino. So you either side with the Consigliere, or against him. Choose wisely. Luca putting the future on notice, but will any of them heed the warning?
WWE ID Showcase Six Man Tag: Sean Legacy, Cappuccino Jones & Jack Cartwheel VS Jackson Drake, Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes!
HBK put this one together himself, so you know he sees great things for all six men. Will the Legacy of Evolve be highly caffeinated? Or will “The Carolina Reaper,” “Beautiful Brad” & “Smokeshow” Ricky have Evolve swiping right?
The fans already chant “Swipe Left! Swipe Left!” The introductions are made for this big moment, and the trios sort out. Jones starts against Smokes and the two tie up. Smokes waistlocks, SLAMS Jones, then says “Swipe Right!” The fans boo but Jones arm-drags! Smokes tags Brad, but Jones BACKDROPS Smokes, then dodges Brad! And hurdles, and hurdles, and DROPKICKS! The fans fire up whiel Brad flounders! Tag to Drake and he eggs Legacy on. Jones tags Legacy, Legacy dodges Drake to then GOURD BUSTER! And PENALTY KICK! And STANDING MOONSAULT!

The ref counts, Smokes lets off, but Jones ELBOWS him away! Then Jones DECKS Drake!

Not quite perfect, but Drake stomps Jones around. Drake drags Jones over, tags Brad, and Brad drops a BIG elbow! The fans boo but Brad soaks it up. Only for Jones to JAWBREAKER! Smokes tags in, anchors a foot, but Jones ENZIGIRIS free! Jones crawls, Drake tags in, and he reels Jones in for a BIG back suplex!
Jones lands out, dodges, hot tag to Jack! Jack dodges Drake, LARIATS, then he handsprings to dodge Brad! NECKBREAKER! Smokes runs in, blocks a kick, but Jack cartwheels to dodge! ENZIGIRI! Drake TOSSES Jack out, but Jack HOTSHOTS Drake back! Then the flagpole and LEG SWEEP! Slingshot ELBOW DROP! The fans fire up for the “Slam Stand,” but Swipe Right gets Drake to safety!

A super win for Super Sean and his team! That’s Evolve history right there! But wait, Kali Armstrong storms onto commentary? She shouts about how she didn’t lose her tag match, so she deserves better! Who does she need to talk to? Kali wants one more match, right now! Stone & Peter say okay, but they’re not the GM. Will Kali’s demands be met next week?
HBK talks with Ava.
Shawn says there are some obviously impressive talents on the roster, but Ava is “The Mayor” here. He trusts her judgment, will leave her to direct this show as she sees fit. Ava thanks HBK for that, and she is sure this will be a lot of fun. And she already has some ideas for next week. Well, she’s the boss. Evolve is in Ava’s hands, who else will do more than level up here in this new space?
My Thoughts:
A very good start to WWE Evolve, though Tubi might need to work on an ad glitch I kept running into. That aside, the action was certainly up to par, but you can tell there’s still some developing this new developmental brand is gonna help with. I wasn’t really sure about the character work in the women’s tag to open, but that might just be from how Kendal & Carlee were more exaggerations of themselves from when we last saw them. Of course, that was months ago… But clearly they’re working on separating the two in personality, so that it’ll work better when they’re separated as a tag team. Kendal’s promo kinda gave that away, and the only one who will be shocked is Carlee.
I will say, Kali looks pretty well adjusted to pro-wrestling, and she’s already doing some good character work with how her promo helped close the show. She might even face Dani next week over how she blames Dani for that loss. One major surprise was how Keanu all but squashed Trill. I feel bad for Trill’s debut being like that, but it certainly builds Keanu as a monster on the roster. I feel like “It’s Gal” is gonna try and do the same, and we have a quick feud made there. Luca is among many of the names sprinkled throughout Evolve that are here to help the new names get going, and I suppose he could also be used to “recruit” members to the D’Angelos.
The WWE ID Six Man Tag was great stuff, as expected from six guys as experienced and talented as them. The promos were good, and I suppose part of Swipe Right’s presentation is that they aren’t necessarily that handsome or popular, it’s all about their egos. Maybe it’s just Smokes’ hair… Anyway, great win for the Faces in this match, gives the first episode a positive ending. Ava is now GM of Evolve on top of NXT, but I feel like she should delegate responsibilities to Stevie Turner, if just to stick it to Robert Stone while he’s on commentary. Can’t wait to see what kind of tournament we get to determine champions, too.
My Score: 8.1/10

Sami shouts for Punk, but turns around into a SPEAR!! Cover, Bron & Rollins win!
Winners: Seth Rollins & Bron Breakker, by pinfall
Big Bronson Reed makes his return in a big way, and it helps his former target in Seth Rollins! Bron storms into the ring now, could Bronson simply want to destroy Rollins himself? Bronson and Bron stare down, but Rollins pats Bron on the shoulder, and HUGS BRONSON!! Heyman loves it! A new follower of the vision has shown himself! And now instead of rivals, Bron and Bronson shake hands as friends! Punk is up, grabs at Heyman, but Bronson CLOBBERS him! Bronson puts Punk in the drop zone, Rollins & Bron hold Punk down, and Bronson hits a TSUNAMI!! The fans are going nuts while Rollins stands over the destroyed Punk.
With two behemoths behind him, will nothing and no one stop Rollins from taking over Monday Night Raw and then the entire WWE?

Saturday Night’s Main Event returns and Zelina makes her entrance. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is the real Lady Liberty!
The bell rings and Chelsea CLOBBERS Zelina! Chelsea rains down furious fists, then bumps her off buckles. Chelsea whips Zelina back into the corner hard, then soaks up… cheers?!

John Cena VS R-Truth!
When it came to winning his historic 17th world title reign off of Cody Rhodes, the Greatest Of All Time vowed to ruin wrestling. When it came to keeping this title from another great in Randy Orton, the GOAT vowed to erase legacies. But now, against a man who called him a friend and a “childhood hero,” Cena isn’t sure what to think. But will he see the error of his ways after fighting the Truth? Or will power and fame continue to corrupt the Last Real Champion?
The fans still sing “JOHN CENA SUCKS~!” as Cena makes his way out in classic Tampa Bay Buccaneers creamsicle colors. And he of course has Lillian Garcia do the introduction: The Greatest of All Time, the Never-Seen Seventeen, gracing Tampa with his presence for the final time, The Last Real Champion… JOHN CENA! Truth then makes his entrance, as if he’s John Cena?! No, wait, that’s RON CENA! The shirt says so! He even does the proper salute, run in, and slide! Cena is mad, and he LARIATS Truth! The bell rings and the fans boo, but Cena rains down fists on Truth! Cena RIPS Truth’s shirt off and throws it away.
The fans chant, “LET’S GO, CENA!” “CENA SUCKS!” Cena is only more upset, and he bumps Truth off buckles. Cena ROCKS Truth, whips him corner to corner hard, and Truth falls to the mat. Cena picks up the earrings that Truth lost and throws them at him. The fans chant, “You Can’t Wrestle!” “Yes, He Can!” Cena runs and he SHOULDER TACKLES Truth! The fans are torn but Cena waits on Truth. Cena runs to SHOULDER TACKLE again! But Truth stands up, takes a swing, but into the SPIN-OUT BOMB! Cena says “You Can’t See Me!” FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE! Then the fireman’s carry, but Truth slips free!
Truth ducks ‘n’ dodges to SHOULDER TACKLE! And SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up as Truth gives Cena a SPIN-OUT BOMB! And then “You Can’t See Me!” Truth runs to FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE! Then Truth fireman’s carries! ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!! Cover, TWO!! Cena survives his own move and the fans fire up! Truth hurries to get Cena’s leg! S T F!! Cena endures, crawls, and has the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Truth lets go, and fans boo as Cena bails out. Truth storms out and the fans rally behind him. Truth brings Cena up, btu Cena POSTS him! Cena puts Truth back in the ring, and he grabs the belt?!
The fans boo as Cena just wants to end this! The ref reprimands but Cena takes aim. Truth stands up, Cena runs up, but then Cena hesitates?! Truth is disappointed that Cena wanted to do this, and the fans are cheering for Cena to put the belt down! Cena says okay, and he gives the belt back. The fans cheer, but then Cena LOW BLWOS Truth!! And fireman’s carry! ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!! Cover, Cena wins!
Winner: John Cena, by pinfall
Just when you can’t think he could go any lower, he does! And then Cena gets the belt back to take aim again! Truth rises up, the ref reprimands but there’s nothing anyone can do! BELT SHOT!! Cena leaves Truth behind, and with him, the man he once was. Will Cena make sure he ends his farewell tour as both the greatest and the worst of all time?
Jey Uso and John Cena cross paths.
The two top champions stare down, and Cena says, “Been a long time.” Jey says, “Last time I seen you, I threw you out to win the Royal Rumble, Uce.” Cena says yeah, that’s good. Very… fun. Cena is glad Jey remembers the last time they saw each other. Cena is looking forward to the next time. Because there’s something special about Jey being from one of the most prestigious families in the history of this industry and losing that title to Logan Paul. Wouldn’t it be something if, when Cena’s clock strikes zero, Cena takes THE WWE Championship home with him, and Jey’s World Heavyweight Championship is around the waist of a YouTuber.
“Sounds like that’d almost… ruin wrestling. Gosh, that’s a lot of pressure for the match tonight. Good luck, champ. I’ll be watching closely.” The GOAT is clearly trying to mess with Main Event Jey’s mind, but will it work? Or will Jey YEET said YouTuber back to the internet?
Steel Cage Match: Drew McIntyre VS Damian Priest!
This cycle of violence has gone on for over a year, and somehow, WrestleMania wasn’t enough to end it. But now, on a Saturday night, they step inside the steel to settle this once and for all. Who feels real pain while the other walks away and leaves this all behind him?
Priest steps in through the door and Drew attacks! Priest falls to the floor, Drew is right after him and CLUBS him! Drew RAMS Priest into the barriers, the refs reprimand, but Drew shoves Priest in. Then Drew brings chairs out from under the ring! Drew puts those in the ring, then he slams the door shut! The bell finally rings, and Priest attacks Drew in return! Drew stops from hitting the steel but Priest ROCKS him! Priest tries again but Drew refuses to be sent into steel. Drew throws body shots and CHOP! Drew tries now but Priest stops from being sent into steel! Drew CHOPS again, but Priest clinches for a FLATLINER!
Both big men slowly rise back up, and the fans rally as Priest kicks and UPPERCUTS! Priest brings Drew around to whip, but Drew reverses, only for Priest to SUPERKICK! Priest choke grips, but Drew fires elbows! Drew CLAWS Priest’s eyes, shoves him to a corner, then runs up. Priest BOOTS Drew, then runs corner to corner, but Drew dodges! Priest hits buckles, and Drew THROWS him into the steel! Drew scoops Priest, aims again, and LAWN DARTS Priest into the steel! The fans are torn but Drew seethes as SNME goes to break.
SNME returns and Drew climbs the cage! Priest pursues and drags Drew down a step. Priest climbs up to hit Drew with forearms! Then Priest clinches Drew, but Drew fights with elbows! Drew SMACKS Priest off the steel, Priest falls down, and Drew carefully turns around, to AX- NO, Priest avoids the ax handle, and BOOTS Drew down! Not quite a Claymore but Priest still drags Drew up to choke grip! SOUTH OF HEAVEN!! Cover, TWO!??! Drew survives and Priest is stunned! The fans rally and Priest rises up. Priest climbs the ropes, then the cage! Drew hurries after Priest, CLUBS away on him, then HAMMERS Priest’s head!
Drew wobbles but he steadies himself, and he brings Priest back down from the top, with a SUPER DUPER PLEX!! The fans fire up as Drew kips up! The Scottish Terminator takes aim, calls it out, “THREE! TWO! ONE!” CLAYMORE!! Cover, TWO!?!? Priest survives and now Drew is stunned! “This is Awesome!” as both men rise. Drew throws a haymaker, but Priest fires back! The hands go back and forth, harder and harder, faster and faster! The fans rally, it is fast ‘n’ furious, but Priest KICKS, KICKS, and ROLLING ELBOWS! Drew staggers around, Priest ROCKS him again! Priest goes corner to corner, and BACK ELBOWS!
Priest keeps moving, but he fakes out the Claymore! Ghost pin, TWO! Drew is up, he choke grips, and he steals SOUTH OF HEAVEN!! Cover, TWO!?!?! Priest survives his own move and the fans fire up! Drew looks up to Heaven, perhaps questioning what he must do to win. The fans sing for Drew, and Drew grabs one of those chairs he brought in. Drew runs up and JAMS Priest! Then he SMACKS Priest on the back! Priest falls to his knees, then Drew SMACKS Priest even harder! Drew puts the chair aside and watches Priest writhe. Drew calculates, and then he smiles and soaks up cheers and jeers.
Drew drags Priest up between ropes and steel, then puts him in the corner. A chair is wedged and waiting! Flashback to Mania, but Priest dodges! Claymore hits chair!! Priest is up and he JAMS Drew with the other chair! And then he puts it under Drew’s chin! FULL METAL JAWBREAKER!! And then a choke grip, SOUTH OF HEAVEN!! But Priest isn’t satisfied, and the fans fire up! Priest has the chair, puts it under Drew’s head, and Priest grabs the other chair! A shoutout to his Rated R mentor! Priest aims for a CON-CHAIR-TO!! The fans want that “ONE MORE TIME!” but Priest leaves Drew behind. Priest steps outside the door, but then wonders if this is good enough.
Priest decides yes, and he steps to the floor to win!
Winner: Damian Priest, by escape
Priest has left Drew for dead, and the ref is calling for medical help! Did Priest just terminate the terminator? Drew manages to sit up but he is dazed. Drew manages to make it to the stretcher under his own power, only to refuse it! Will Drew need time to step away and reevaluate?
WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Jey Uso VS Logan Paul!
After winning the Royal Rumble against all odd, and after winning this title at WrestleMania against all odds, Main Event Jey is now on top of the world! But The Maverick thinks that after just showing up, running his mouth, and punking out superstar after superstar, he is going to be on top of the WWE now. Will Logan ruin wrestling, just like John Cena predicted? Or will we all YEET with Saturday Night’s Main Event Jey Uso?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who is really championship material!
The bell rings, the fans rally for Jey while he and Logan step up. They test each other, then tie up. Jey headlocks, Logan powers out, but Jey RUNS Logan over! The fans fire up, “YEET!” and then things speed up. Jey jumps the dropdown, Logan hurdles, but Jey stops to UPPERCUT! Logan staggers around, Jey UPPERCUTS again! Logan goes to a corner, Jey whips, but Logan reverses. Jey goes up and over, but Logan ELBOWS Jey! Logan BOOTS Jey, goes up, and leaps for a BLOCKBUSTER! Logan kips up, the fans boo, but Logan just smirks. Jey bails out, Logan aims and PLANCAHS, and down goes Jey!
Logan fires up but the fans boo while SNME goes to break.
SNME returns once again and Logan blocks a kick, but not the DRAGON WHIP! Logan falls back to a corner and Jey has the fans rally up with “UCE! OH! UCE! OH!” Jey runs in, HIP ATTACK! Cover, TWO! Logan stays in this but Jey stays focused. Jey goes up the corner and the fans fire up. Jey aims to USO SPLASH, onto knees! Logan makes it a cradle, TWO!! Jey survives and Logan is upset with the ref. The ref says that count was fair, so Logan hauls Jey up. Logan fireman’s carries, and he soaks up heat before he hits the ROLLING SENTON! Then the LIONSAULT, but onto knees! The fans fire up as Jey gets even!
Logan staggers away and clutches his stomach. Jey rises, dodges Logan, and then POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS him! Cover, TWO! Logan stays in this but Jey still stays focused. The fans rally, Jey and Logan rise again, and Jey storms up on Logan in the corner. Logan grabs a buckle pad to resist! The pad comes free, Jey UPPERCUTS Logan, and then Jey LARIATS Logan up and out! Logan bumps into the desk, Jey builds speed, and Jey DIVES into a HAYMAKER! Logan brings Jey up to bump him off the top buckle! Jey staggers away, Logan slingshots in, but into a SUPERKICK! Cover, TWO!! Logan survives and Jey is a bit surprised.
Jey goes to a corner and the fans declare, “This is Awesome!” Logan rises, Jey runs up, but Logan sends him into the bare buckle!! Jey staggers, Logan hits that ONE LUCKY PUNCH!! Cover, TWO!?!?! Jey survives and Logan is shocked! Logan is furious now, and he drags Jey up. The fans rally for Jey, they tell off Logan, and Jey shoves Logan away! SUPERKICK!! Logan falls into the drop zone, Jey hurries up top, USO SPLASH!!! Clean hit and Jey covers, BUT JOHN CENA YANKS THE REF OUT!!! The fans boo as Cena attacks Jey! The WWE Champion can’t let Jey win so he has to beat him down!
Logan is a bit surprised by this as Cena just stomps away on Jey! But here comes CODY RHODES!!! The American Nightmare returns and he runs right up on Cena! Cody fires off, kicks low, and RHODES UPPERCUTS!! Then he gives Cena a CROSS RHODES!!! Cena bails out, but Logan has BRASS KNUCKLES!! Cody dodges that shot, and Jey SPEARS Logan!! Jey hurries up top, Cody finds the ref, and USO SPLASH!!! Cover, JEY WINS!!!
Winner: Jey Uso, by pinfall (still WWE World Heavyweight Champion)
Cena tried to ruin wrestling all on his own, but Cody would not allow it! And Cody has his mic to say, “You’ve ruined ENOUGH! I’m sorry that the John Cena Farewell Tour rode right through Rhodes Country. But I’m back! I’m ready to fight! You got yourself a partner in Logan Paul, I got myself a brother in the World Heavyweight Champion! We’ll see you at MONEY IN THE BANK!!” The fans are thunderous and SNME has to cut away! Will Cody & Jey bring things back to when they were tag team champions and take down two of the biggest egos in the entire world?
My Thoughts:
A great Saturday Night’s Main Event, and some surprising story advancement with it. Rollins & Bron VS Punk & Sami was very good, but what a great way to bring Bronson Reed back. Quite the surprising move to have Bronson join up with Rollins rather than be an enemy, too. A bit of the typical “Heels work together just because they’re Heels,” but there can be some kayfabing that in Bronson’s time away with injury, Rollins talked with him and got him to see things Rollins’ way. And in the end, this is a wild addition to the faction, as Bron & Bronson can destroy a lot of tag teams to become champions while Rollins goes for the world title.
Very good match from Zelina VS Chelsea, both of them sporting their own take on patriotic super hero. I believe Zelina kept with her My Hero Academia theme and was a combination of All Might and Stars & Stripes. Great win for Zelina with that super Code Red, and I would think Chelsea moves on, despite not really being set up for MITB or the top title. For that matter, not sure who would challenge her when two great contenders in Piper and Alba are subservient to Chelsea. I guess we can wait and see what else sorts out with MITB, and even NXT Battleground for that matter, as I bet more call-ups are due for the Summer.
Great Steel Cage match from Drew and Priest, and while I wish there were more No Escape style Cage matches, allowing for a simple walk out the door makes for poetic imagery from Priest. Priest showed absolute brutality to Drew with the Con-Chair-To, to then show a bit of mercy by just leaving him there. Plus, this all makes sense if Drew needs some legit time off for his injuries. Word was, Drew’s neck was making it hard to turn and look around, so writing him off with that finish is fine. Priest can certainly go for the Men’s US Championship now, once we see how things shake out with the Men’s MITB and this Fatu-Solo-Mateo story.
And great stuff from both top champions. Truth being “Ron Cena” was so good, I could not help but laugh and cheer out loud. Cena reacting the way he did was also great, and the bait ‘n’ switch on how he was going to cheat was brilliant. Cena even adds heat with him messing with Jey, and even trying to ruin the main event. Jey VS Logan was a great match even going into that overbooking, but this was also a great way for Cody to make his return. Cody & Jey VS Cena & Logan at MITB is going to be some good stuff, and can easily set up Cena VS Cody 2 for SummerSlam. Jey still has to worry about Gunther on June 9th, so Logan will have to wait his turn on a rematch, which could also be for SummerSlam since it is two nights this year.
My Score: 8.7/10
