PLAY BY PLAY
Nick Aldis is in the ring.
The fans already chant for “RANDY! RANDY!” while the SmackDown General Manager says, “Ladies and gentlemen, last week on SmackDown, we witnessed a number of important moments, a number of memorable moments, a number of viral moments. Well, folks, I’m here to address one moment in particular. I wonder if you can guess which one that is.” The fans cheer, and Aldis says he has been instructed to “maintain my professionalism,” so he will do just that. With that said, Aldis would like to invite out Randy Orton. The fans cheer that, and then here comes The Viper! Seattle sings along with Voices as Orton goes to the ring.
The fans again cheer on “RANDY! RANDY!” while he looks up at the WrestleMania sign. Orton has a mic, and he tells Aldis, “I can tell by the look in your eyes, Nick, that you took last week very, very personally. Now hear me out, you can’t expect me to believe that you didn’t see yourself eating an RKO at some time in your future after last year, a year or so ago, the same thing happened. I paid a fine, and what’d I do, Nick? I paid double on that fine in case something like last week would happen again. It happened again, I paid in advance, and I think that we are even.
“The reason why I really wanted to speak to you, Nick, is because of the fact that there is not a match on the table at WrestleMania 41 for me.” The fans boo that, but Orton tells Aldis, “This is a very important WrestleMania for me. This will be my 20th time competing at WrestleMania. I need this to happen. I need you to do your job, I need you to make me an opponent. And I can guarantee you that I will be in Vegas. I will be all warmed up, ready to go, I will have my gear on, and I need you to give me a match. I don’t care what it takes. Maybe you lose the suit for a night and you gear up, too?” The fans like that idea!
Orton says whatever it is, he needs a match at Mania. Aldis asks if Orton really thinks this is about the money, about that 100 grand. Aldis knows Orton knows that WWE is doing record business, and Orton is a major part of that. Aldis is fortunate to be part of that. He busted his ass for 20 YEARS just to be here in this company. The fans are a bit torn on that, but Aldis says he doesn’t need Orton’s money, he needs Orton’s respect. The fans chant “R K O! R K O!” Orton says Aldis needs his respect, but funny enough, he’s got it. But if Aldis doesn’t deliver on a match for Orton next week, he can’t promise he’ll apologize to Mickie James for what he’s gonna do.
The fans are intrigued, but then Solo Sikoa makes his way out here?! Solo has Tama Tonga by his side, and a mic in hand. Solo tells Mr. Aldis, “Can you please tell Randy to get outta the ring, stop embarrassing himself. Okay? Don’t nobody wanna hear you cry, Randy. ‘Oh, I’m not going to WrestleMania~! I don’t have a match!’ WHO GIVES A CRAP!?” The fans boo but Solo says it is over for Orton! And does he know why? Because he’s the past. And next week, LA Knight is going to end up in the same boat as Orton. Because at WrestleMania, the Samoan Werewolf, Jacob Fatu, is walking out as the NEW United States Champion!
And Orton…? Orton will be sitting at home all alone. Orton says he’ll be “all alone?” That’s funny. What’s funnier is that Solo has the balls, him and “YEYEYEYE” Tama combined, to come out here and interrupt Orton while he’s talking. While Orton is, for the first time in his career, being diplomatic about business. The balls! The voices have been knocking, and the fans know why! He has all this pent up aggression! So what they’re saying now is for Solo & Tama to get in this ring so Orton can show how to whoop two Samoans’ asses! Seattle is all fired up, but Solo & Tama do go to the ring. Orton watches, then he CLOBBERS Tama!
Solo gets in, Orton fires kicks and UPERCUTS! Tama steps in but gets caught! Only for Solo to CLUB Orton! The fans boo as Tama & Solo mug Orton in the corner! But here comes LA KNIGHT! YEAH!! The US Champion fires hands on Tama, but then Solo storms up! Knight gives Solo some shots, too! Orton gets Tama, and now Orton and Knight take it to the rogues! Knight BOOTS Solo out, Orton UPPERCUTS Tama! Solo & Tama regroup outside, but Solo has Tama stand down. Knight grabs a mic to say, “Again, and again, and again, it’s the same damn thing with you guys! But I tell you what, you speakin’ my name? NAH NAH!
“You talking about WrestleMania? I hope your boy, Jacob, is watching, cuz what I just did is I took my name outta your mouth, and I put my fist in it! YEAH!” The fans fire up, and Knight says he knows Orton didn’t get enough. Knight knows Knight didn’t get enough! So if they can’t get it, then if they’ve got a tingle in their loins, it is them two and these two! Aldis, how do you feel about that? He does feel good about that! The fans like it, too! Knight says that’s a YEAH! That means y’all gonna fall to the Viper and the Mega Star, with everybody saying, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!!” Then will there be a BFTÂ and an RKO in Solo’s near future?
Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez are ringside.

Liv & Raquel are no longer happy as the “not a real team” just won this gauntlet by going wire to wire! But Bayley & Lyra aren’t backing down, will they take those titles at WrestleMania?
Charlotte Flair attacked Tiffany Stratton in the parking lot!
Caught on film by a fan, The Queen’s apparent response to last week’s comments is to try and end #TiffyTime before WrestleMania! Charlotte has since been escorted off the property, suspended for the night. How violent is the WWE Women’s Championship match going to get with tensions running this high?
Damian Priest is here!
Seattle fires up for The Archer of Infamy as he makes his way to the ring. The news went out today that Priest and Drew McIntyre will have a WrestleMania match, and it will be a Sin City Street Fight! WAIT, McIntyre attacks Priest from behind! McIntyre throws Priest around, then throws down fists! McIntyre DRIBBLES Priest off the LED board again and again! Producers, referees, and security rush out here, and the one-eyed Scottish Terminator grins as he lets off of Priest. The fans are torn while Priest is helped to his feet. Priest can barely stand but security helps him to the back while McIntyre just watches from the ring.
McIntyre grabs a mic to ask, “Are we starting to see clearly now? Society only moves as fast as its slowest member, and it took a few people awhile to catch up. But everybody can see as plain as day, Drew McIntyre only tells the truth, and every action is justified! Including dropping his stupid ass!” The fans are torn, but McIntyre storms around some more. “That parasite has benefitted every time I was screwed. He would never face me like a man, until this week, when he agreed to face me face to face cuz I’ve got one eye. Then he challenged me to a match at WrestleMania! A Sin City Street Fight, cuz I’ve got one eye!
“And y’know what? I still accepted, cuz that’s the kind of man that Drew McIntyre is!” The fans are torn on that, but McIntyre says this is a match a year in the making. Priest wants to live forever? Well, McIntyre will make it so no one forgets Priest, because he’ll give Priest the beating of a lifetime at WrestleMania! There is more! Seattle, you wanna know a little secret? They do! “Wolverine here’s got some good news.” McIntyre takes off the eye patch, he’s just fine! McIntyre says he’s 100% cleared, and that means at WrestleMania, Priest is 100% screwed! But speaking of, Priest storms his way back out! Security wants him to stop, but he just CLOBBERS them all!
Priest runs to the ring, and he CLOBBERS McIntyre! The fans fire up as Priest throws hands, then he puts McIntyre in the ring for more! McIntyre shoves Priest, Priest dodges and LARIATS! Priest then runs and ELBOWS McIntyre in a corner! Then he LARIATS McIntyre up and out of the ring! Priest goes out, brings McIntyre up, and SMACKS him off the steps! Producers and refs get in there, but Priest tells them to back off! McIntyre CLAWS Priest’s eyes! McIntyre grabs the steel steps and pulls them apart! He CLOBBERS Priest with them! Priest is down, refs and producers step in, but fans are losing their minds over that impact!
McIntyre seethes, and he pushes people aside to get Priest up! McIntyre brings Priest to the steps, underhooks, FULL METAL FUTURE SHOCK!!! Double-edged but McIntyre just feeds off that pain! McIntyre looms over Priest, looks him in his glossy eyes, and yanks away Priest’s necklace! McIntyre holds up the Rosario, is McIntyre going to pray he can do this all again in Sin City?
DIY critique last week’s match.
Johnny Gargano points out when Tommaso Ciampa’s head hits bare steel. That is an illegal use of turnbuckle, back and to the left, DIY got screwed! Gargano blames Charles Robinson the referee, he blames Nick Aldis, he blames everybody else! Ciampa says all those guys are just puppets! DIY is NOBODY’S puppet! This is all a CONSPIRACY! A conspiracy to screw DIY out of the titles! Pretty Deadly watches this, they whisper, but they “agree” that DIY is absolutely… out of their minds! Since losing the titles, DIY has gone crazy! Ciampa asks if they’re blind! Are they not seeing what they’re seeing!? Back and to the left!
Elton Prince says just look at all this. They’ve stepped in a rabbit hole. Desperation is not a good look on DIY. Kit Wilson says for them, #NoBoy. They head out, and Motor City Machine Guns step in. Chris Sabin asks if they heard the word, “Conspiracy.” DIY is ridiculous. But keep coping, because while DIY is worried about last week, MCMG is focused on next week. MCMG gets their shot on WrestleMania Eve SmackDown against The Street Profits. Alex Shelley says they worked their asses off to get here, they won the tag titles in three weeks, only for DIY to screw MCMG out of them, so no… No conspiracy, this is karma.
MCMG heads out, DIY continues to obsess, but will the only truth be that MCMG and The Profits are going to bring the smoke?
Rey Fenix VS Berto w/ Legado del Fantasma!
The Immortal Firebird made his WWE debut last week, but not everyone was impressed by the elite level of lucha libre Fenix put on display.

Two weeks in a row, two fast ‘n’ furious matches in a row, and Fenix is on a hot streak! Santos returns to help Berto to his feet. Santos says that’s alright, but now he sees what Fenix is all about. Santos shows Fenix respect by helping him to his feet. Fenix is wary about this, but Santos wants Berto to shake Fenix’s hand. Berto does that, though rather reluctantly. Los Garza storms off, Santos shakes Fenix’s hand, but are there strings attached to The Emperor of Lucha showing respect?
Backstage interview with Roxanne Perez.
Byron Saxton is outside Nick Aldis’ office as he talks with The Prodigy. What exactly brings Roxie to SmackDown tonight? She says since Ava Raine won’t give her an answer on Stand & Deliver next Saturday, Roxie is taking things into her own hands. As the runner-up to this year’s Women’s Royal Rumble, Roxie would gladly compete for the WWE Women’s Championship, seeing as how she’s a real professional. Roxie is 23 years old and ready to steal the show, as clearly Tiffany Stratton can’t handle the pressure. But Tiffany storms in and asks if Roxie is seriously talking trash. Roxie should be the last person to do that.
The way Tiff sees it, Roxie could learn something from her. Uh, what could Roxie possibly learn? How to put on a fake little “helpless Tiffy” act? Roxie saw through Tiff before, and she knows Tiff’s true colors. Let’s just hope it doesn’t cost Tiffy the title. Well at least Tiff’s not the one coming to SmackDown begging for a match. Roxie says she’ll gladly watch Charlotte rip Tiff’s little Barbie head off. Aldis steps out of his office and wants them to calm down. Roxie will gladly take Tiffy on before Charlotte does. Tiff says if Roxie wants a fight, then Tiff will gladly share the spotlight Roxie so desperately wants, tonight! Right, Nick!?
Aldis says hold on. It has been quite a day. He will consider it. But in the meantime, they both need to cool off. Tiff storms off, Roxie mockingly waves tootles. Will we get Princess Tiffy VS Prodigy Roxie this close to WrestleMania Weekend?
WWE takes a look at the friendship of CM Punk and Paul Heyman.
They first met back in 2005, when Punk first walked into OVW. The Wise Man knew that Punk wasn’t the “next [insert name here],” he was the first CM Punk. He knew even then that “This was the guy.” And once the fans saw it, the whole game would change. Punk knows he owes his whole career to Heyman. The Paul Heyman Guy would becoming WWE Champion, prove he was Best in the World, and everything else Heyman predicted. Heyman has been a friend, teacher, mentor, brother even, and Heyman says he admires Punk more than anyone else in this entire industry. But then in 2013, Punk felt he had to leave.
Punk guarded himself from a lot of people he met and became friends with in the WWE, and Heyman was no exception. And after 10 years away (a few of those years in another company), it was the second coming of the Second City Saint. WarGames, the WrestleMania main event Triple Threat, and now the favor… These two are back together again, whether Roman Reigns or Seth Rollins like it or not. But we also saw how Rollins almost ended that all just last Monday Night Raw. How will the Visionary saying Heyman owes him something derail Punk’s WrestleMania moment?
Chelsea Green checks on the Secret Her-vice.
They’re in medical, and she shouts through the door that she needs them to get better right now because she is literally about to wrestle up next. Zelina Vega smiles as she walks by, and mocks the tears. Zelina says the gauntlet match was so hard on Chelsea’s girls. Now she’ll have to do this all on her own like a grown-up! What’s she ever gonna do? Well, time to see what kind of champion Chelsea really is. Bye~! Zelina makes her way to gorilla, Chelsea panics and says she needs Piper & Alba, no matter what condition they’re in! Is The Green Administration about to fall apart at the seams?
Chelsea Green VS Zelina Vega!
SmackDown returns as Chelsea makes her entrance, alone. The bell rings and Chelsea throws her puffy skirt at Zelina! Chelsea TACKLES Zelina, throws down hands, then dribbles Zelina off the mat! Chelsea lets off to shout for Piper & Alba, but they’re not coming. Zelina rolls Chelsea up, TWO! Chelsea DROPKICKS Zelina down! Zelina tumbles out, Chelsea pursues, and THROWS Zelina into the barriers! Chelsea drags Zelina up, fireman’s carries, and SNAKE EYES Off the desk! Chelsea puts Zelina in the ring, shouts for her security detail, but the ring count is climbing! But it’s TEN as Chelsea slides in! Zelina wins!!
Winner: Zelina Vega, by count-out
The fans boo, but Chelsea is angriest of all! She let her anger get the better of her, and now she’s lost! Zelina says next time, it’s for the title! Will we have a change of administrations in the near future?
Legado regroups backstage.
Santos tells Angel that he cannot say this enough! That was the kind of performance he needs out of Legado! But Berto, you said Fenix was a flash in the pan, and a flying lizard? All Santos has to say right now, he’s extremely disappointed in Berto. Santos tells Angel that they’re going to go find Fenix and properly congratulate him on a job well done. Angel pats his cousin on the shoulder, but he follows Santos. But then Andrade steps in and he tells Berto that was a good match. Andrade offers a handshake, but Berto doesn’t take it. Andrade knows Berto is upset. Fenix is a great wrestler, but so is Berto!
Andrade says Berto has heart, so he should keep his head up and be proud. Berto tells Andrade to mind his own business. Berto storms off, but could El Idolo be right about Santos not appreciating his team?
Naomi speaks.
“Leech. Scum. Opportunist. There are so many words that describe you, Jade. But the one word that fits you to the core, is snake. Had I not pushed you off that ledge and onto that windshield, HAHAHAHAHAHA…! I know that it would’ve eventually been me. Once I got you out my way, I took my rightful place as champion. Bianca and I grew an even stronger friendship. But now that you’re back, Bianca won’t even LOOK at me! But it’s okay. Because there’s no more of this fake loyalty. I’m doing what’s best for me, and I’m gonna get mine. At WrestleMania, I strongly advise you to proceed with caution.”
Jade Cargill responds.
“Naomi, you thought that you could weather the storm by ducking ‘n’ dodging me. But now, the moment is here. Time has run out. I’m not just angry. I’m pissed. You came at me because you thought you knew what was best for me? You don’t. You tried to take me out because of your own insecurities. Lemme ask you this: What happens to a star when it starts to fade? They try to steal the shine from someplace else. That is what this is about. The Glow is fading. And Naomi, you’re trying to stay relevant in each and every way. That is what this all is about. You were jealous that I came in with so much star power, so much aura, so much glow.
“And this WrestleMania, I’m not a rookie anymore. I’m your biggest threat. Because a storm is coming.” Jade and Naomi have drawn the battlelines, who will survive when they put it all on the line?
Cody Rhodes is here.
Awaiting him in the ring are various iterations of THE WWE Championship, from the earliest blue leather strap, to the “Winged Eagle,” to the Undisputed WWE Championship of the early 2000s, to even the Spinner Belt that John Cena first created… The fans sing along with Cody’s song, “WHOA~ OH~!” and Cody gets his pyro. Cody continues to the ring, he high-fives the front row, and “WHOA~ OH~!” we get the second pyro. Cody steps into the ring with his Undisputed WWE Championship, then places it on a pedestal in the center. Cody picks up a mic while the fans cheer, and Cody gets the fans to get a bit louder.
The fans sing “CODY! CODY RHODES~!” and Cody revels in it. Cody then says the fans have him all flustered. He thanks Seattle, they’ve always been good to him. Whether it is the sold out arena here tonight, or when Cody was in Defy. “Now, this is the tangible definition of realized potential. It is the denotation of excellence, the metric that stands. This right here (the current Undisputed WWE Championship) simply says, ‘You are the best wrestler in the world.'” The fans cheer that! Cody says he is blessed to be able to carry this and its mighty weight. But it won’t always be Cody. That is what WrestleMania has become.
This is not just a match between two men. It is about the right to keep this title at home. It is about the next 20 champions. Whether that is one of Shawn Michaels’ NXT kids watching WrestleMania intently, or WWE ID talents! Maybe there’s a young man in Seattle here tonight, wanting to grow up and wear this one day! It is about those champions! Then there is one man trying to take all of that away. The fans boo, because that man is John Cena. The fans duel, “Let’s Go, Cena!” “CENA SUCKS!” Cody continues by saying, “John Cena has neglected to make Seattle part of his farewell tour.” The fans boo that!
Cody says Cena will be on SmackDown for Las Vegas. It would be cowardice on Cody’s part to rebuttal Cena’s remarks from London. One thing Cena said that stuck with Cody is that Cena referred to the placement of Cody’s tattoo. Cena claimed that Cody’s neck tattoo makes him a “common fan.” The fans boo that, but Cody says, “So what?” Cody has this tattoo for the same reason he wears the suit. It isn’t because Cody thinks he’s somebody, it is because Cody wants to BE somebody! Cody goes down the line with the titles now. “Is that somebody who can sell out the world’s most famous arena 188 times to the rhythmic chants of his own name?
“Is that somebody who can sit up each and every night, even with broken ribs, and become WWE’s Phenom? Is that somebody who can set the world ablaze with Latino Heat?” The fans chant “EDDIE! EDDIE!” but then Cody comes to the Spinner Belt… “Or is that somebody who can carry a company on his back through good times and bad for 10 years? John Cena… John Cena looks at this and considers it a bad thing. I don’t. I see it as a man who was trying to break the wheel. A man who was trying to find himself. Does that sound familiar?” Cody brings up how Cena claims Cody doesn’t know himself, doesn’t present himself authentically.
“Here’s what I do know, John: I’m the WWE Champion and you are not!” The fans cheer that! Cody says Cena is always teaching and preaching. Maybe this is the one time Cody can teach Cena something. Something that Cody saw his father, Dusty, struggle with as a career Babyface, and it is very simple. “John, they are allowed to love somebody else. Hell, I call myself the Captain here, but I’m part of a roster that has CM Punk, Randy Orton, Jey Uso, Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, just to name a few! We make each other better!” The fans fire up for that! Cody says he found himself with the unenviable task, but it is in his nature to want that task.
Cody has to halt history with Cena’s record setting title win so that we can have history at all. Cena is a man of his word. Cena says he’s leaving, he means it. He says he’ll take the title into retirement, he means it. So here’s some honesty from Cody. Cody will tell Cena the same things he told Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns: “I do my best work when I’m backed into a corner. I don’t flinch, I fight, I wrestle. That’s right, John, the bell is gonna ring! And when it does, and this is over, I leave you to this ring to have your moment. Your moment to say goodbye.
“It would be clever for me to tell John, ‘Your time is up, my time is now.’ But John, you’ve known your time is up for quite some time, and that’s why you did what you did. And one day, MY time will be up soon. But until then, this is timeless. And THIS stays home. This stays with US!” The fans cheer as Cody holds up the title. Will nothing, not even a desperate and angry John Cena, stop Cody now?
Backstage interview with The Street Profits.
Byron Saxton is with Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins and brings up that next week, WrestleMania Eve SmackDown, they defend their WWE Tag Team Championships against Motor City Machine Guns. How are the Profits feeling about that showdown? Ford says Profits, Motor City, Vegas, WrestleMania Weekend. They like MCMG. But they saw that video where MCMG said they don’t care about the gold jewelry, the checks, the grills, the reality shows. But quite frankly, you can’t care about things that you don’t have. But what else don’t they have? These titles.
Dawkins says MCMG has been all over the world, 20 years, but save the congratulations for the “IWC glazers.” Because the Profits run this division! But then The Miz & Carmelo Hayes step in. Melo says, “Run this division? Y’all run this division into the ground. Yeah, MCMG, they road warriors. Y’all gassing them up. You wanna talk about a real road warrior? Let’s talk about The Miz!” Ford & Dawkins chuckle, but Miz asks if someone said a joke. Because the only joke he sees is the tag division being headed by these two clowns! Melo wants Miz to calm down but Miz says no, let him cook!
As talented as The Profits are, the mere fact those titles aren’t on WrestleMania is a slap in the face to every superstar that has held those titles, including Miz! Miz is a NINE-TIME Tag Team Champion! Time to put The Profits on notice and revive this tag division! Miz wants number ten, and he has the hottest prospect by his side! A true one-of-one, Carmelo Hayes! Together, they are Melo Don’t Miz, and they are AWES-H1M! And they most definitely want the smoke. Ford has Dawkins hold back. The Profits are focused on MCMG next week, but will they be seeing Miz & Melo soon enough?
Tiffany Stratton VS Roxanne Perez!
From words being thrown last week to fists being thrown before the show even began, it has been quite the week for the WWE Women’s Champion. But will she show this is still #TiffyTime? Or will The Prodigy prove she’s ready to do more than just stand and deliver?
SmackDown returns and Roxie makes her entrance. The bell rings, Roxie shoves Tiff, but Tiff shoves back. Tiff blocks the slap, but Roxie pulls hair! Roxie has Tiff in the corner, the ref counts, but Roxie lets off at 4. Tiff shoves Roxie down! Roxie gets up, Tiff headlocks, but Roxie pulls hair again. Roxie powers up and out, but Tiff runs her over! Tiff says it’s still her time, then runs, but she cartwheels over Roxie’s dropdown. Then she goes Matrix to avoid the lariat! Roxie rolls to headscissor and roll-up! TWO, and Roxie headlocks. Tiff powers up and out, but Roxie throws her down by her hair! The ref reprimands but things keep moving.
Tiff drops down but now Roxie cartwheels over. And Roxie SLAPS Tiff! The fans boo, but Roxie takes a bow. Tiff smiles, then SLAPS Roxie! Tiff THROWS Roxie down by her hair, arm-drags her around, then kicks low. Tiff reels Roxie in, the fans duel, and Tiff asks, “What time is it?” Snap suplex time! Tiff stomps Roxie, drags her up, and snap suplexes again! Cover, TWO! Roxie is tougher than that but Tiff stalks her to the ropes. Tiff drags Roxie in, Roxie grabs the apron skirt! The ref reprimands, Roxie lets go, and the ref fixes the skirt, allowing for Roxie to CLAW Tiff’s eyes! Roxie then POSTS Tiff! Tiff falls to the apron but Roxie goes out after her!
Roxie bends Tiff’s arm against a crossbar, then STOMPS! Tiff clutches her elbow and the fans boo, but Roxie says, “That’s how The Prodigy does it!” Roxie grins while SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Roxie storms after Tiff, puts her in the ring, then grabs the bad arm. Roxie wrenches the arm, THROWS Tiff down, then drops a KNEE on the elbow! Tiff clutches her arm, Roxie talks trash, and Roxie CLUBS Tiff down. Roxie grabs the bad arm, wrenches it, then UPPERCUTS! Roxie wrenches and whips Tiff to a corner, runs up and UPPERCUTS! Roxie wrenches and wrangles Tiff for a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Cover, TWO! Roxie keeps on Tiff by twisting the wrist and pulling on the arm! Tiff endures, Roxie mockingly claps using Tiff’s hand, then Roxie YANKS on the arm! Cover, TWO! Tiff toughs it out and goes to ropes.
Roxie storms up on Tiff, CHOKES her on the ropes, but stops as the ref counts. Roxie drags Tiff around, pushes her onto the ropes, then CHOKES her again! The ref counts, Roxie jumps to STOMP Tiff down! Roxie stalks Tiff, drags her around and wrenches the arm. Roxie hammerlocks then NORTHERN LIGHTS! Cover, TWO! Tiff stays in this but Roxie stays on her, and she YANKS the arm again! Roxie pulls on the arm but Tiff still endures. Tiff fights up, stacks Roxie, TWO! And it’s back to the straight armbar! Tiff fights up again, stacks, and deadlifts Roxie for a POWERBOMB! Both women are down, but Tiff crawls to the far side.
Tiff shakes out the bad arm while SmackDown returns to single picture. Tiff runs up to LARIAT Roxie! And LARIAT again! The fans fire up as Tiff handsprings corner to corner for a BACK ELBOW! Roxie sputters, Tiff whips, and SPINEBSUTER! High stack, TWO! Roxie stays in this but Tiff stays focused. Tiff drags Roxie up, reels her in, band manages a Canadian Rack! Roxie arm-drags free, then grabs the bad arm! Tiff rolls Roxie up first, TWO! Roxie runs, but into a SKY HIGH! Cover, TWO! Roxie survives again and Tiff grows frustrated. Tiff drags Roxie onto ropes, then runs, but Roxie avoids the hip attack to UPPERCUT!
Roxie THROWS Tiff down, steps on her as she goes to the corner, then she makes sure Tiff is in the right spot. Roxie goes up, LIONSAULT, but onto knees! Tiff saves herself, then goes up, up, and- NO, Roxie anchors a foot! Tiff kicks free, but Roxie climbs up to SUPER RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Roxie runs, HANDSPRING KNEE DROP! Cover, TWO!! Tiff survives and Roxie is furious! Roxie drags Tiff up, talks trash, then SOBATS! Roxie hops on, but Tiff pops free! Tiff then cartwheels to Alabama Lift, and she swings Roxie around, but Roxie victory rolls it! TWO, and Tiff has it, TWO! Roxie runs, tilt-o-whirls, LA MYSTICA! CROSSFACE!!
Tiffy endures, fights around, reaches out, but Roxie kicks off the ropes to turn things! But Tiff uses that to fireman’s carry! ROLLING SENTON! Tiff goes up, PRETTIEST MOONSAULT EVER!! Cover, Tiff wins!
Winner: Tiffany Stratton, by pinfall
Roxie tried to swoop in and ruin things for Tiffany, but Tiff- WAIT! CHARLOTTE FLAIR IS STILL HERE?! She drags Tiff out of the ring and THROWS her into barriers! The fans boo but Charlotte POSTS Tiff! Charlotte SLAPS Tiff, drags her up, and TOSSES her over the desk! Security rushes out here but Charlotte jumps over the desk! She shoves Wade Barrett, Wade tries to tell her this is going to get her fired! Charlotte doesn’t care, but Wade keeps her from getting after Tiff again. Charlotte instead stands on the desk again, soaking up the heat from Seattle. Will The Queen be a witch in her attempt to take back the throne?

LA Knight & Randy Orton VS Solo Sikoa & Tama Tonga!
The Mega Star & The Apex Predator got just a taste earlier tonight, and now they want to have the full course! Will Knight & Orton use the BFT and RKO to serve up an L? Or will the would-be Tribal Chief and his Good Bad Guy make the WWE United States Champion easy pickings for The Samoan Werewolf?
SmackDown returns and Knight makes his entrance to join Orton in the ring. Solo & Tama then make their entrance, and the teams sort out. Knight starts against Tama and the fans rally up. Solo distracts, Tama attacks! The fans boo as Tama fires hands, but the ref counts. Tama RAMS into Knight again and again, then backs up to taunt Orton, “YEYEYEYEYE!” Tama runs in and SPLASHES! Tag to Solo, he smirks at Orton, and Tama feeds Orton to an ELBOW! Solo drags Knight up, bumps him off buckles, then fires hands. The fans let out the Maui “CHIII-HOO~!” while Solo taunts Orton, but then Knight fires hands in return!
The fans rally as Knight ELBOWS Tama, ROCKS Solo, and repeat! Solo runs up, Knight TOSSES him out! Knight hurries for his corner, but Solo runs in! Hot tag to Orton! Solo stops cold, but then storms up anyway, only for Orton to throw hands! Orton ROCKS Solo, Solo shoves Orton, but Orton comes back to LARIAT! Solo staggers up, Orton dodge shim, and then SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up, Tama returns, but he gets a SNAP POWERSLAM! Orton has Solo in the ropes, drags him out, DRAPING DDT! The fans fire up and Orton already hears the voices! Solo rises, but Tama gets in! Orton RK- NO, Tama shoves Orton into Solo’s SAMOAN DROP!
Tama BLASTS Knight, then he storms out while SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Orton tumbles out of the ring, and Solo waits inside. Tama CLOBBERS Orton, the ref reprimands, but Tama tags in. Tama drags Orton up, to LARIAT him down! Tama paces, then he drags Orton back into the ring. Tama runs to SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Orton stays in this but Tama grabs a leg. Tama drags Orton over, tags Solo, and they split the wishbone! Orton writhes, but Solo smirks as he paces between Orton and Knight. Solo puts Orton on the ropes to CHOKE him! Solo stops to taunt Knight, and this distracts the ref so Tama can BOOT Orton down! Orton sputters, but Solo taunts him to go tag Knight.
Orton crawls, Solo SLAMS Orton’s arm off the mat, then stands him up to HEADBUTT! Orton goes to a corner, Solo fires body shots and haymakers, but Orton eggs him on! Solo rains down fists, but Orton just gets up. Orton kicks low, fires hands, then HEADBUTTS! That wasn’t smart… Orton wobbles, and Solo HEADBUTTS Orton down! Solo says that’s why you don’t headbutt a Samoan. Solo drags Orton over, tags Tama, and Tama slingshots to SENTON! “YEYEYEYE!” Tama paces around, then DIVING HEADBUTTS! Cover, TWO! Tama has Orton on the ropes, CLUBS him down, then tags Solo in.
Solo stays between Orton and Knight, drags Orton around and clamps on a chinlock. Orton endures, fights up, and he reaches out for Knight. Solo keeps Orton back, but Orton throws a haymaker! Orton reaches out, Solo keeps him back, but Orton throws another haymaker! And another! SmackDown returns to single picture as Solo desperately anchors Orton! Orton and Knight are fingertips away, but Solo UPPERCUTS Orton down! The fans rally, but Solo sucker punches Knight! The fans boo but solo mocks spelling it out. Solo clamps on a chinlock and grinds Orton down again. The fans rally and Orton rises up!
Orton stands, but Solo HEADBUTTS him in the back again and again! Solo squeezes tight, but Orton still reaches out! Knight reaches out, but Solo pulls Orton back! The fans rally even harder, but Solo HEADBUTTS Orton again! Solo holds onto the chinlock, but Orton powers up to hit a BIG back suplex! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Orton and Solo crawl, hot tags to Tama and Knight! The fans fire up as Knight rallies on Tam with LARIATS and ELBOWS, and then a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Tama flounders to a corner but Knight stomps a mudhole! The ref counts, Knight stops at 4, then he runs corner to corner, KNEE WASH!
Solo is back in, but Knight dodges! Solo hits buckles, then gets a JUMP NECKBREAKER! Tama is up, but Knight scoops him for a POWERSLAM! The fans fire up as Knight spells it out! “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!” ELBOW DROP! Cover, Solo breaks it! SAMOAN SPIKE!! But Orton is back and he fires hands on Solo! Orton UPPERCUTS Solo outta the ring! Tama spins Orton around, but Orton RKOS first!! Orton then goes for Solo but Solo drags him out of the ring! They brawl on the outside, then into the crowd! The fans fire up as Orton CLUBS away on Solo! Solo hits back, the fight moves towards the stage!
Tama and Knight are still in the ring, the fans rally up, and both men rise up. Tama staggers into Knight, and a B F T!! Cover, Knight & Orton win!
Winners: LA Knight & Randy Orton, by pinfall
It indeed was an RKO and a BFT that served up an L to Tama & Solo, but wait! JACOB FATU slides in outta nowhere! SUPERKICK for Knight!! The fans are torn but Jacob runs to SENTON! Jacob HEADBUTTS away on Knight, then looks at the US Championship. Knight flounders to a corner, Jacob runs in and HIP ATTACKS! Jacob is geeked up and the fans fire up! Jacob has Knight down at center, and he goes to a corner! BEST MOONSAULT EVER!! The fans fire up as Jacob holds up the championship! But then he goes back up, BEST MOONSAULT EVER!! And then, as credits roll, ANOTHER BEST MOONSAULT EVER!!
Jacob Fatu brings out his usual viciousness, and Knight is sputtering for air. Will this be the scene on WrestleMania Saturday? Or can the Mega Star somehow survive the Samoan Werewolf?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown here, especially this close to WrestleMania. It also acts as a partial go-home with WrestleMania Eve SmackDown kicking off the huge weekend in Las Vegas. I believe the Andre the Giant Battle Royal will be that night, as has become the tradition. I really hope they actually use that to make someone into a big deal, it’s becoming more a formality than anything at this point. Good promos from the male tag teams tonight, such as DIY claiming conspiracy and Melo Don’t Miz claiming The Profits aren’t good enough as champions. Profits VS MCMG will be a great match, I just hope there isn’t interference that decides it.
The Women’s Tag Gauntlet was awesome stuff, and I’m actually surprised Lyra & Bayley won. Not only that, but that they ran the table. But at the same time, I did sense the Women’s Intercontinental Championship could be dragged into this. Liv & Raquel wanna go for the Two Woman Power Trip, I feel like a shot at Lyra’s title could be made through this story, too. The gauntlet also did a good job of plugging other stories, like Natty being upset with Maxxine and the Secret Her-vice being unable to help Chelsea. The count-out loss seems like they were trying to fit the match within the time constraints, but at least Zelina has her win.
Great promos from Naomi and Jade to hype up their grudge match, and great stuff with McIntyre turning the face-to-face into a blindside attack. Good promo from McIntyre, and I’m a bit surprised he played his hand here with the eyepatch reveal. Even so, that “Sin City Street Fight” is going to be great stuff, and it’s hard to say who wins that. Awesome match from Fenix and Berto, and that was probably Berto’s best showing in a long time. Santos praising Fenix and belittling Berto, then Andrade there to encourage Berto, this Legado story could take some intriguing turns, but I don’t see Fenix joining Legado.
They did a good job turning around last week’s awkward and even controversial worked shoot from Charlotte and Tiffany into something here tonight. Good promo and great match from Roxie and Tiffany, and a good win for Tiffany. Charlotte showing up was a given, though, even if they hadn’t played the “she was suspended” card. Charlotte gets some good Heel heat here, and presuming this is the final segment, this has to indicate that Tiffany retains at WrestleMania. And with Roxie showing up tonight, that also signals she is joining SmackDown per her call up. She’ll make a great addition to refresh the division, and maybe even go right for the top title to feud with Tiff.
Great promo segment from Cody. I really liked them putting the classic belt designs out there for Cody to use as visual aides, especially Cena’s spinner belt. Cena being here for the WrestleMania Eve SmackDown, who knows what’ll happen. Maybe we even get The Rock to really pour on the star power. Still hard to say what’ll happen in the title match, but I feel like Cena should win so that the story for the rest of the year is everyone desperately trying to get the title off Cena, even when Cena has The Rock’s backing. “Fighting against authority” has always been a strong, effective theme for WWE stories, so why not keep that going?
And of course, great stuff in both the US Championship story and the developing Orton WrestleMania match story. Good opening promo segment with Orton and Aldis to reference back to Orton paying $100,000 on a $50,000 fine. Solo & Tama coming out to confront Orton while also hyping up Knight VS Jacob was good stuff. Knight showing up to make the save was fitting, and we got a great main event tag match. Given how Orton and Solo brawled away to the back, that’s gotta be a frontrunner for the Mania match now. That’s a good match of multi-generation superstars, honestly.
Jacob having the last word with his trio of moonsaults on Knight, this might’ve been them giving away that Knight retains, but I kinda hope they go the other way. Not that Knight isn’t popular or a isn’t a good superstar, but Jacob might be on his way to equal popularity, and it’s clear he’s a better wrestler from everything he’s been doing in the ring. Plus, then there can be more tension between Jacob and Solo over who brought this title to the family and who is the alpha in the group.
My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Damian Priest arrives backstage.
The Archer of Infamy says hey to referees and producers, only to spot Jacob Fatu & Solo Sikoa! Priest goes after them both, and now refs and producers rush in and stop this! Priest warns Fatu & Solo that they stuck their noses into his business, so now he is coming for them and the US Championship! But speaking of all that, LA Knight walks past them and says these bunch of dummies are just waiting to hate. Time to talk about it out there! YEAH! Des Moines fires up as The Mega Star makes his way out to the ring! Knight gets a mic and says, “LEMME TALK TO YA! One week ago, I stepped right in this ring, YEAH.” “YEAH!”
And Knight said he wanted a rematch for the US Championship. “YAEH!” But what’d he get? He was told he’d have a #1 contender’s match for it instead. “YEAH!” Knight says if nothing else, he deserves his rematch, but that’s okay. He came in, had his match with McIntyre, and let’s be honest, it didn’t go his way. Why is that? Let’s do the math. Right out here, Solo Sikoa decided to bring his pumpkin headed ass out here. Solo gives Knight a spike, feeds him to Priest, but then a little later, Fatu jumps in and acts like this is his personal jungle gym. Fatu is dropping moonsaults on everybody, but why was that even able to happen?
It’s because of a man Knight has a match with tonight, Damian Priest! Priest, Knight has no beef with you, but he knows what Priest was doing, and it had nothing to do with Knight. But at the same time, man, you gotta pick your spots. Well speaking of, Priest makes his way out here now! The fans cheer as the Boricua Badass joins Knight in the ring. Priest grabs a mic, and he tells Knight that Knight is right. They don’t have a problem. Last week was all about McIntyre. WrestleMania happened, no excuses, Priest was good with moving on. But McIntyre couldn’t keep Priest’s name out of his mouth, and talked bad on Priest’s family. Priest just wanted to shut Drew up.
Knight says yeah, he gets that. He has chased dudes down, beaten them down. Priest just wanted to knock his name out of Drew’s mouth, Knight gets that. But he picked the wrong time. He picked Knight’s time, and that cost Knight the #1 contendership. To be honest, the bell rings because of Priest. Priest says he disagrees. Solo Sikoa spiked Knight. All Priest did was save Knight from eating a Claymore. Knight says he doesn’t wanna dig too deep here, but maybe Priest is in the past. Just because Priest ate a Claymore, then got pinned by Drew, don’t put that on Knight. The fans are a bit torn but Knight says maybe he would’ve caught Drew with a BFT. Don’t let your failures be his.
Priest says the way he sees it, this whole situation is because Knight lost the title. Knight says he doesn’t need a reminder. He did lose the title, he gets that. But guess what? As soon as he lost it, he said he would come back, fight for it the very next week, and then he’s not out here right now wrestling for said championship because of Priest! Knight can’t say it any clearer! Priest says this is the deal: All of Knight’s frustrations are Knight’s faults. Maybe if Knight’s head wasn’t up his own ass, he’d still be champion. The fans are torn while Knight tries to stay calm. Knight says they don’t have a problem, right?
But keep talking like that, and Priest won’t worry where Knight’s head is, he’ll worry about Knight putting his foot up Priest’s ass. Priest says okay, they can do this back and forth. They have a match set for tonight, so why wait? Why should the fans have to wait? Knight asks what Priest is saying, and Priest is saying they get a ref out here, and the match happens right now! The fans love that idea! Priest asks, “Yeah?” Knight says, “YEAH!” And here comes a ref! Priest and Knight are ready to pop off, but who will be taking the blame for this loss? We will see, after the break!
LA Knight VS Damian Priest!
SmackDown returns and the match is underway! Priest ROCKS Knight in a corner, but Knight comes back to wrench and YANK the arm again and again! “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight then wrenches again, but Priest breaks free to ROCK Knight! The fans are torn as Priest shakes out the arm. Priest storms up on Knight, but Knight kicks low! Knight fires haymakers, “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight whips, Priest reverses, and then Priest BACK ELBOWS! The fans fire up and Priest FLAPJACKS Knight! Knight goes to a corner, Priest runs in for another BACK ELBOW! Priest keeps moving, but Knight dodges him to kick low!
B F- NO, Priest stops that, shoves and SUPERKICKS! Cover, TWO! Knight survives but Priest drags Knight to the corner. Priest knuckle locks, climbs up, but Knight stops him from going Old School! BIG back suplex! The fans fire up as Knight goes to ropes. Priest rises, Knight storms over to JAB! JAB! JAB! “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight then ROLLING HAYMAKERS! Knight whips, Priest reverses again, but Knight LEAPING LARIATS! And then RUSSIAN LEG SWEEPS! Priest staggers up, Knight SHOVES him into buckles, then hits the JUMP NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO!

Backstage interview with Fraxiom.
Byron Saxton is with Nathan Frazer & Axiom, congratulating them on their victorious debut. Tonight, they have another chance to show up and show out, this time against Pretty Deadly. Frazer says they are both so excited. In NXT, they flipped the tag division upside-down. They plan doing the same thing here on SmackDown! Axiom agrees, and after seeing last week’s insane TLC match, that is why they are here on SmackDown! This is the best tag division on the entire planet! But then #YesBoy, here come Kit Wilson & Elton Prince. They tell Byron to go ahead and leave. And yes, it is mostly because of that purple suit he’s wearing.
They then tell Fraxiom that it is good to see them again. And yes, it is good they want to be here on SmackDown, because SmackDown is home to the best, hungriest tag division. Speaking of hungry, what a tasty debut! But don’t forget that Pretty Deadly is still the two tastiest snacks around. But admittedly, it is nice to finally have some more European blood around here. It must be nice for Fraxiom to be somewhere new and exciting, where everyone loves you, that’s great for them. But maybe, maybe knock it down 20% and remember that opportunities here are earned, not given.
Pretty Deadly knows how good Fraxiom is, but they also know how good Pretty Deadly is. And wait, is Fraxiom that good? It has been a minute since they’ve faced each other. That’s why Pretty Deadly went to “Uncle Nick” and asked for this match. Axiom says they’re looking forward to it, but Frazer says be careful what you wish for. Oh, wow~! Same to you. Pretty Deadly exit with the Scott Hall fingers, but will they be able to keep up with a team that never slows down?
Pretty Deadly VS Fraxiom!
SmackDown returns as Frazer & Axiom make their entrance. The teams sort out and Axiom starts against Kit. They tie up, are in a deadlock, but then Kit cobra clutches to ripcord and wrench Axiom. Axiom fights up, rolls, bridges back, and then breaks free to DROPKICK! The fans are torn but Axiom tags Frazer. Axiom whips but Kit reverses, only for Axiom to reverse back. Axiom has the IRON OCTOPUS, and Frazer builds up speed to DROPKICK Kit down! Axiom BLASTS Elton, Frazer arm-drags Kit, and the fans cheer! Kit fights up but Frazer whips him to a corner. Elton takes the bump for Kit, and Kit BOOTS Frazer down!
Kit hits those Scott Hall fingers again, then he wrenches Frazer to whip. BIG hip toss, then a cover, TWO! Frazer is tougher than that, but Kit KICKS him in the back. Kit bumps Frazer off buckles, tags Elton, and Elton brings Frazer up to stomp away. Elton rains down fists, then lets off as the ref counts. Elton mockingly says, “Be careful, he says! Be careful~!” But Frazer BOOTS Elton! Elton storms back up, grabs a leg and YANKS Frazer up, but Frazer lands on his feet to PELE! Hot tag to Axiom and the speed blitz begins! Forearm after forearm, then a DDT! Kit runs up but he gets a kick, KICK, and ASSISTED DROPKICK!
The fans fire up as Axiom DIVES onto Elton! Frazer DIVES onto Kit! They go again, another DIVE on Elton! Another DIVE on Kit! The fans fire up more and Fraxiom puts Elton back in. Axiom covers, TWO! Axiom clamps onto Elton with a motorcycle stretch! Elton endures, fights up, and the fans rally. Elton arm-drags Axiom, Axiom goes to a corner, and Axiom ELBOWS Elton away. Axiom goes up, up and CROSSBODIES, but Elton catches him! Kit tags in, LAWN DART BOOTS, then a COMEBACKER LARIAT! Pretty Deadly stands up and Des Moines cheers for them, but SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and the fans rally as Axiom fights up in the chinlock. Axiom reaches out for Frazer, Kit keeps him back, so Axiom ROCKS Kit with a right hand! Kit holds on, Axiom CHOPS, but Kit whips him away! Axiom ROCKS Elton, dodges Kit, hot tags to Frazer and Elton! Frazer springboards to DOUBLE MISSILE DROPKICK! Then he CHOPS and whips Elton! Elton reverses, Frazer ducks ‘n’ dodges to CLOBBER Elton! The fans fire up as Frazer keeps moving, and he dodges to QUEBRADA! Frazer has Elton, he kicks Kit, and then DOUBLE DDTS! Frazer hurries to STANDING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO?!?
Elton barely gets that arm up and even the fans are confused. Elton has some blood in his mouth, but he’s showing some true grit. Frazer ROCKS Elton, puts him up top, then climbs up to join him. Elton fires body shots, shoves him away, and Kit sneaks a tag! Frazer returns, Axiom runs up, but Kit HOTSHOTS Axiom! Kit then stops Frazer by bringing him off the corner! SIT-OUT POWERBOMB!! Cover, TWO?!? Frazer also narrowly escapes! Kit drags Frazer up, ROCKS him, but Frazer hits back! They go back and forth, Frazer ENZIGIRIS! Kit goes to a corner, Frazer puts him up top, and Axiom tags in. GAMANGIRI!
Axiom goes up, Frazer tags back in, and then SUPER SPANISH FLY!! Frazer is up top, PHOENIX SPLASH!! Cover, FRAXIOM WINS!!
Winners: Fraxiom, by pinfall
Two wins in two weeks, the former NXT Tag Team Champions are making quite the case for those WWE Tag Team Championships! Will they reach the top sooner rather than later?
B-Fab & Michin talk with Nnick Aldis.
Fab & The Head Baddie were inspired by The Street Profits in that TLC match. They’d love it if they were also included in a tag title match. Liv Morgan did get some time off to go film her little movie, but when she comes back, maybe Mia & B-Fab can be next? But then in step The Secret Her-vice, and they make sure the room is secure. Alba Fyre frisks Aldis and Piper Niven reports there are only “paper tigers” in the room. So it is safe for former Women’s US Champion, Chelsea Green, to step in. Mia & Fab mockingly pout and say it’s so sad she lost the title. But hey, she looks good in all black and L’s.
Fab & Mia leave, and Chelsea claims last week was RIGGED by the deep state of jealous women in this division. Aldis says the numbers don’t like, the ref counted three. That’s collusion! This is the US Championship! Aldis isn’t even from here! Well, neither are Chelsea, Alba or Piper. Hey! That doesn’t mean Chelsea isn’t an American hero. Chelsea could take Aldis to the Supreme Court. Good luck with that. Wait, wait! What if Chelsea says she won’t do that, and she gets the “recount” she deserves. She means rematch? They can talk about it, just not tonight. Because tonight, Zelina Vega will face Piper Niven. Since when? Since now!
And if Piper wins, well, then Piper is first in line for a title shot. Then maybe Chelsea will be Piper’s Secret Her-vice. Chelsea almost faints! Piper & Alba help Chelsea sit down, but could this be the chance for the Scottish Viper to finally strike gold?
Nia Jax is here!
Des Moines is not happy with the Irresistible Force after her return last week, in which she A-Nia-Lated Tiffany Stratton while Tiff was busy with Jade Cargill. Nia has the mic and “thanks” the fans for the boos. But she really is happy to be back. While she was gone, and “your champion” Tiff was running around like a Barbie doll with her head cut off, Nia was home getting refocused so she could come back here and take what is hers, THE WWE Women’s Championship! But wait! Tiffy makes her way out here! And Tiff already knows what Nia wants to say: She’s gonna A-Nia-Late Tiff again, and take the title.
Newsflash: Tiff isn’t the same girl that Nia used to bully around. Cashing in on Nia was the greatest thing she did for her career, and she’d do it again! Then she went toe-to-toe with one of the greats in Charlotte Flair. Then she beat her! And if Tiff ever locks up with Nia again, she’d beat Nia, too. The fans chant for “Tiffy Time!” Nia asks if that’s an offer for a rematch. Tiff says no, it’s not. And Nia has been around here long enough to know that Tiff isn’t the one who makes the matches. But Tiff also isn’t shying away from this fight. Tiff would defend against Nia any time, any where! Wait, here comes Naomi!
The fans also boo but Naomi says, “Well lookie lookie! It’s funny to see the two of you fighting. Because I remember for months, when I was trying to get the WWE Women’s Championship from Nia, Tiffy… You always found a way to make sure you helped her out. You two made my life HELL! And you say that you’ve changed? Nah, Tiffy. I’ve changed! I’m a new Naomi now. No longer the sweet Naomi, the good girl who stood behind Bianca and let Jade walk all over her! I took matters into my own hands! I took out Jade, and I took my championship. Jade may have ruined everything that i have worked for, but I am not done.” The fans chant but Naomi tells them to shut up!
Naomi is not done going for gold. Not only will she push them onto cars, she’d push them under one! But wait, here comes Jade! Naomi is scared now as Jade storms her way up! These two brawl, then so do Nia and Tiff! The fan fire up as Jade whisp Naomi, but Naomi grabs ropes! Jade LARIATS Naomi up and out! Tiff DROPKICKS Nia out! Tiff and Jade stare down, the fans rally, and Aldis comes out here to ask they all settle down. If the four of them are so eager for this fight, then let’s give Des Moines a tag match, player! That’s right, Nia & Naomi VS Tiffy & Jade, and that’s tonight! The fans cheer, but which side will hold together better?
#MeloDon’tMiz talks backstage.
Carmelo Hayes says he is sick of people playing with The Miz’s name. How is Aleister gonna make a moment off a moment maker? Tonight, they’ll both show Aleister! Miz, Melo, and “Dre.” Dre? Yeah, Andre. Ohh, nice. But yes, Miz and “Dre” are pillars in the WWE! Last week was about respect! Two DECADES, Miz has built the WWE up with his hard work and spotlight stealing performances! Miz has outlasted countess “next big things,” flavors of the months and so-called legends! And Aleister wanted a second chance, he chose Miz because he’d get the headlines. But here’s the thing, Aleister didn’t knock Miz out, he woke Miz up!
Miz has been fighting for his spotlight, so now he reminds everyone who he is! There’s a reason Miz has lasted this long in a company while Aleister only lasted five. Aleister Black wants to make a statement, but now he’ll be a part of Miz’s! HIT HIS MUSIC! Miz & Melo head to the ring, will this be Miz’s moment? Or will he just #FadeToBlack again? We find out, after the break.
Aleister Black VS The Miz w/ Carmelo Hayes!
SmackDown returns and Aleister makes his entrance. The bell rings, Miz runs up, but he narrowly puts on the brakes in time to avoid the Black Mass! That would have bene a sudden end to this match and Miz scrambles away to a corner. Black storms up but the ref has him stay back. Miz then runs up, wrenches an arm, but Black rolls, snapmares, and then trips Miz again. Miz BOOTS Black away, but Black blocks a kick! Miz puts up his guard, then apologizes. Black slowly lets Miz’s foot go, but then Miz sucker punches him! Miz fires off, the fans boo, but Miz whips. Black blocks the lariat to fire Muay Thai KNEES!

Black still ELBOWS Miz down, covers, TWO! The fans rally and Black snarls. Black stalks Miz to the ropes, stands him up, but Miz ELBOWS him! Black BOOTS Miz out of the ring! Black drags Miz up, but Melo distracts him! Miz drags Black out to SLAM him on the apron! Black falls to the floor and Miz seethes while SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Black sputters and coughs while Melo cheers Miz on. Miz drags Black up to whip him hard into a corner! Black falls, Miz storms over, and Melo nods as Miz puts Black back in the ring. Miz lines up a shot and basement BOOTS Black down! Miz stalks Black to ropes, CHOKES him and CLAWS at his face, but stops as the ref counts 4! Miz then STRADDLE ATTACKS! Black falls back then scrambles away while Miz seethes some more. Miz stalks Black, kicks him and taunts him, then KNEES him in the back! Miz clamps on, traps an arm, and he throws down elbows! Black endures, even as Miz pulls on the chinbar.
The fans rally and Black fights up. Black fires a knee, then forearms and body shots! Black whips corner to corner, runs in, but Miz puts him on the apron! Miz then slide sunder, TRIPS Black, and Black hits off apron on the way down! Melo & Miz high-five and soak up the heat. Miz drags Black up and RAMS him into the apron! Miz grinds his forearm into Black’s face, then puts him in the ring. Miz storms back into the ring, climbs up a corner, and aims. Black stands into the AX HANDLE! SmackDown returns to single picture as Miz soaks up the heat. Miz then runs corner to corner, A-LIST LARIAT!
Miz pushes Black out, then springboards in, but Black dodges! Miz hobbles, catches Black, but Black switches! Miz runs to the ropes and HOTSHOTS Black! Then Miz TOSSES Black to the floor! Miz goes out the side, runs up, and uses the steps to leap, into a KNEE! The fans fire up as Miz sputters and slumps against the barriers! The ring count starts, Black drags Miz up and into the ring, then he hurries after Miz. Miz takes a swing, but Black fires counter strikes and an elbow! Aleister fires KICK after KICK, then SWEEPS the legs! SLIDING KNEE! Black handsprings up and the fans fire up! QUEBRADA! Cover, TWO!
Miz stays in this but the fans rally for Black. Black aims from a corner, runs up, but Miz blocks and dragon sleepers! Black fights free, but Miz pulls hair! Miz kicks a leg out, then BASEMENT DDTS! Cover, TWO! Miz grows frustrated but the fans rally back up! Melo coaches Miz and Miz looms over Black. Miz KICKS! Black is not amused. Miz KICKS again, and again! The “It Kicks” just make Black laugh! Black catches one, then BACK ELBOWS Miz! Miz sits down, Black PENALTY KICKS him! That actually might be something more vicious but it scores all the same!

Winner: Aleister Black, by pinfall
Melo is frustrated on Miz’s behalf, but then Black anticipates Melo sliding into the ring! Aleister and Melo stare down, will The Dark Father make even H1M #FadeToBlack?
Santos Escobar finds Rey Fenix backstage.
The Emperor of Lucha wants to talk with the Firebird. Santos watched that match at WrestleMania, and what he saw was the true embodiment of…Â disappointment. Not only did Fenix lose the biggest match of his life, which he should be embarrassed about, but he embarrassed the entire tradition of Lucha Libre by losing to the clown that is El Grande Americano! Rey Mysterio himself picked Fenix to take his place at WrestleMania, and Fenix BLEW IT! Santos laughs as he says now, the self-appointed “greatest luchador of all time” is out of the picture, and maybe forever. Someone will have to take Mysterio’s place.
And that person, brother, has always been Santos. So if Fenix knows what is best for him, he’ll listen to Santos. Fenix tells Santos callete, aka shut up! And stay out of Fenix’s business, okay? Whoa, hey! No, there is only one luchador in the world Fenix trusts, and it sure isn’t Santos, brother. And if Santos has a problem with that, then Fenix will see him in the ring tonight! Fenix storms off, will he humble Santos real quick?
WWE Women’s United States Championship Eliminator: Zelina Vega VS Piper Niven w/ The Green Administration!
Speaking of humbling, La Muneca may not have humbled the Hot Mess with last week’s win, but Zelina is herself humbled, honored and grateful to have this title. Will Zelina make sure there is no “second term” for the Green Regime? Or will Piper completely flip the polls and make this her time to shine?
SmackDown returns and The Green Administration makes their entrance. The bell rings and the two approach. Zelina slips around to KICK Piper’s leg! Then she dodges again to KICK again! And then another dodge to headlock, but Piper powers out. Zelina slips through the lariat to have the FLYING OCTOPUS HOLD! Piper stays up so Zelina sunset flips, but then Zelina avoids the hip drop! Piper sits up, but Zelina KICKS! KICKS! And KICKS, KICKS, KICKS! Zelina runs to KNEE Piper down! Cover, TWO! Zelina hurries to stay on Piper with a facelock, but Piper powers out! Piper runs up, but Zelina goes up and over1
The fans fire up as Zelina runs, but Piper CLOBBERS her! Piper soaks up the heat, then salutes Chelsea, and then stomps Zelina! Zelina tumbles out of the ring, Piper paces, and the ring count climbs. Zelina crawls into the ring, but Piper CLUBS her down! Piper scoops Zelina, but Zelina slips free! Zelina shoves Piper to the corner, then runs up, but Piper blocks the whip! Piper reverses, but Zelina goes up, up, only for Piper to catch her! FACEBUSTER! Piper says that one was for Chelsea! Piper then pulls on Zelina’s arms and STOMPS her into buckles! The fans chant, “Piper Sucks!” as SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns as Piper grinds Zelina down with a cobra clutch. The fans rally as Zelina endures, but Piper SWINGS Zelina! Chelsea loves it, but then Zelina fires body shots! Zelina wrenches free, ROCKS Piper, but Piper throat chops! Piper scoops, but Zelina slips free to CODE BREAKER! And KNEE! The fans fire up and Zelina fires off on Piper! Zelina runs, but into an URENAGE! Piper snarls, runs up, and SENTONS! Cover, TWO! Zelina survives and the fans fire up! Chelsea throws a fit and yells at commentary, but Piper puts Zelina in a corner. Piper runs up, Zelina dodges and GAMANGIRIS!
Zelina goes up while Piper staggers, but then Piper SLAPS Zelina! Piper climbs up, salutes, and then brings Zelina up. But Zelina fires body shots! Piper staggers back, Zelina adjusts, and then FLYING METEORA! Cover, TWO! Piper is still in this and Zelina is starting to despair. Zelina waits on Piper, then hops on, but Piper pops free of Code Red! Zelina comes back, but into the BLACK HOLE! Cover, TWO!! Zelina survives and Piper is shocked! Piper has Zelina back in a corner, runs corner to corner, and CANNONBALLSÂ into only buckles! Zelina runs, METEORA! And then Zelina waits on Piper to stand. Zelina whips, but Piper blocks!
Piper scoops Zelina, but Zelina flails! SWINGING DDT!! Zelina hurries to put Piper in the drop zone, and she hurries to go up! The fans fire up as Zelina calls her shot, MOONSAULT!! Cover, TWO!! Piper survives and Chelsea is relieved. The fans rally for Zelina and she thinks on what to do. Zelina hops back on, but Piper swings Zelina around! HEADBUTT! Piper reels Zelina in, salutes, and then lifts, but Zelina fights the bomb! RANA and Piper ends up on the ropes! Zelina dials it up, but Chelsea is in her way! The fans boo, but Zelina senses Piper coming! Piper BLASTS Chelsea instead!! Roll up into a JACKKNIFE! ZELINA WINS!!
Winner: Zelina Vega, by pinfall (denies Piper Niven a title match)
Chelsea is furious, but she’s half the reason her side lost! Will our underdog Women’s US Champion continue to shock Chelsea and the Green Administration?
Aldis talks with Solo & Fatu.
The GM is not happy that two weeks in a row, Solo has blown up matches. By the way, champ, you’re not exactly innocent. Solo says don’t pin this on him. That was Priest last week. And Fatu is just telling everyone to stay out of his way. Well, then, warning received. Which is why at Backlash, he defends the US Championship against Damian Priest and LA Knight in a Triple Threat. How does that sound? Solo says wait, wait, hold on. How’d we get to that? Because technically, Drew McIntyre won the #1 contender’s match, it should be him. Aldis sees Solo’s right. So forget the Triple Threat. It’s now a FATAL 4 WAY, with Drew added to the mix.
Solo is upset, but Fatu says keep it 100. No matter who is put in front of him, line ’em all up at Backlash! At the end of the day, he will dog walk they ass! He’s all gas, no brakes with it! YADADADA mean?! Fatu heads out, Solo tells Aldis is trying to screw Fatu over! Aldis says no, he’s pretty sure Solo is doing that. But will it matter when the Samoan Werewolf feasts on a Knight, a Priest and a Scottish Warrior?

Andrew’s TNA Live iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 5.1.2025
The third LIVE iMPACT! of the year! First was really good, second wasn’t terrible…what’s this one give us?

We get another Live episode from the campus of UC Irvine, hence why the show didn’t start until 10pm Bianca Belair time (est). The live episodes have been pretty good so far this year, so even though the TV episodes have kinda sucked the last month or so…there’s a glimmer of hope tonight.
Sure we’re gonna open with “hearing from Joe Hendry” because of course we are. But it’s also a live crowd and the fans still embrace the gimmick even if consuming the product weekly is wearing the gimmick thin for me personally. Let’s get to the show and see if we see Trick, Dark State, or any surprises.
Oh it looks like Wentz is gonna get his title shot tonight for the X Division title! That’s a little unexpected.
The boys from the Treehouse are FIRED UP! @ZacharyWentz challenges @TheMooseNation for the X-Division Title TONIGHT!

Ratings:
- Mike Santana vs Isaiah Moore: Santana wins via Running Powerbomb – SQUASH
- X Division Championship: Moose (c) w/The System vs Zachary Wentz w/Trey Miguel: Moose retains via Lights Out – *** 1/2
- Maggie Lee vs Jody Threat w/Dani Luna: Jody wins via Pop Shove It – *
- KC Navarro w/AJ Francis vs Leon Slater: Leon wins via Swanton 450 – ** 1/2
- The Kaiba Boys & Frankie Kazarian vs Joe Hendry & The Hardy Boyz: Nic wins via Danger Zone – ***
Results:
So today is Hendry’s birthday, so the crowd pops and sings Happy Birthday, Hendry with a fairly stock standard babyface champion promo, calls out Trick, and Trick’s music plays but Trick has a tron message since he’s got a Battle Royal to prepare for. So basic steps, but nothing egregious.Â
Sami is called to the back by Santino and SDL & Mance show up, and they seemingly squash their issue “I don’t like ya, but I respect ya” kind of style. I’m just glad we get away from it since the feud kinda sucked. They tend to drag bad things out, like Kon versus PCO…awful.Â
Mike Santana vs Isaiah Moore
Enhancement talent match, Moore tries to start fast but his offense is slow. Everything he does looks like its in slow motion and aside from a dodge and flip here or there, Santana beats him easily. Outline in Chalk and then a Running Powerbomb, and its over.
After the match Santana cuts a choppy promo because the mic sucked, but it sounds like he’s setting his sights on Hendry and hopefully someone stops that. No one wants a Babyface vs Babyface title match, especially since TNA stories are written like 4 year olds with half eaten crayons. So we need someone to get in the way of Santana quick or things just won’t be good, that’s not even a jaded assumption, that’s just the facts of how the last few years have gone.Â
Maclin comes out to address his title defense and he gets mugged by the Northern Armoury on the way down the ramp. EY continues with the Dump Matsumoto tribute and uses the steel chain to beat the hell out of Maclin, choke him and then crucify him against the ropes. Just a typical beating segment to force the angle forward even though the protagonist has been winning the bulk of the interactions.Â
The WAR between @SteveMaclin and @TheEricYoung continues NEXT WEEK on #TNAiMPACT! @milanmiracle

X Division Championship: Moose (c) w/The System vs Zachary Wentz w/Trey Miguel
Wentz starts quick, Sole Butts, Enzuigiris, perches and Moose tries a Go To Hell, but Wentz continues the speed kills idea. Connects with a flurry of strikes, Moose powders and Wentz hits a Tornillo, does the Rascalz pose into the camera and we go to commercial. Back from commercial we go to paint by numbers commercial break where Moose is in control after managing to knock Wentz off the turnbuckle at some point, but after eating a few haymakers Wentz fires, PK, Sole Butt, Stomp, Triangle Moonsault and Wentz is rolling again! He throws Moose back in, another Tornillo this time from the corner and only a two count.
Wentz wants to fly, but Moose gets up, Leap Frog in Moose catching him in a Pop-Up Powerbomb, but only for two! Lights Out attempt, but Cradle Counter, kick, Double Leg Cradle, kick, Moose gets up, Escalara Crossbody, into a Kip Up, Looks for the Jacknife but CODE RED COUNTER from Wentz, but only a two count! Wentz tries to grab Moose, Moose grabs the tights to Dart Wentz into the buckles. Moose tries Lights Out again, X Factor counter form Wentz! SPIRAL TAP from Wentz but again, only a 2 count! UFO Cutter, but Moose shoves him away, Wentz tries to gather himself but Lish grabs his foot just long enough for Moose to finally hit Lights Out and retains.
Oh God it’s Deaner out to continue this sob story angle about his contract is expiring tonight. I hope it actually does, Jesus I can’t tolerate him. He’s the embodiment of cringe. Deaner must have grabbed the wrong script that said Dreamer, because this is some sappy useless idiot stuff. I hate everything about this sad sack crap, and now Santino’s music plays, he plays into the sad thing because of course he does he’s a goofy babyface. He said he can’t give a new contract, but he can extend it. Deaner will get a match at Under Siege versus Eddie Edwards. Robert Stone’s music kicks in! Robbie E and Alicia Fox are in the building because the higher ups are putting Santino Under Review and Victoria is getting a random title match at Under Siege. This was at least an interesting wrinkle.

Maggie Lee vs Jody Threat w/Dani Luna
Jody starts quick, a few Elbows, Thesz Presses, Ground and Pound, looks for her German Suplex off the ropes but Maggie holds on, Back Thrust Kick finally gives out Elegance Giant some momentum. A few well placed strikes, running Knee Strike in the corner, Bow and Arrow Submission, but Jody flips it around for a pinfall. Maggie kicks out, and Jody fires up with some slow blocks against bad punches, Jody goes for Cringe Kojima style chops, pulls off the Knees to the back into the German Suplex. Jody wants Pop Shove It, but Maggie claws the eyes, Jody perches and Maggie crotches her and then hits a Tower of London for two! Jody fires again, quick strike Lariats in the corner, Pop Shove It and Jody wins.
KC Navarro w/AJ Francis vs Leon Slater
Leon and KC change directions, dodge, and dodge, and continue to change angles. KC shows off, so a Kick to the face rocks him and then Leon starts putting some offense together. KC gets knocked out of the ring, Leon throws him into a post, KC manages a small counter, tries to throw Leon back in the ring and Leon Tiger Feints back out to drop KC down. Leon throws KC in, climbs the ropes and AJ starts to interfere but the ref sees him, ejects him and a Satellite DDT from KC gives him the chance to try and choke out Leon, but Leon drives him back into the corner, rope runs, Jump Kick into Final Cut for a two count!
KC powders, Leon goes for the Over the Post Dive, but KC moves. Leon lands his on his feet, KC is saying he’s too smart, gets cold cocked, thrown back in and Leon hits the Swanton 450 for the win.
This makes sense because they want to push Leon, but aside from flips he’s useless. KC has a great personality, great skillset and more than just flips. They want to Leon to become ‘the youngest X Division champ’ but I couldn’t be less interested in him.Â
The Kaiba Boys & Frankie Kazarian vs Joe Hendry & The Hardy Boyz
They bring back the Hendry Boyz mashup music for their entrance, which is actually pretty cool.
Kaz and Jeff start, but it breaks down immediately into all 6 men throwing hands, the babyfaces clear the ring and do the DELETE taunts…and commercial break. We come back from commercial and Matt is hitting Delete Headsmashes on Kaz, a Side Effect on Ryan and then hits the Extreme Elbow but only for two. Matt wants the Twist of Fate, but he gets too close to the heel corner. Nic grabs the ref, Kaz hits a Guillotine Leg Drop, Ryan with the Russian Leg Sweep and then tags in Nic who gets a few pot shots before tagging in Kaz. Kaz and Matt trade a few shots, Kaz claws the face and the heels keep control.
Ryan tags in, isolation in the corner keeps Matt getting pummeled, quick tag back to Kaz and the Cravat has Matt grounded until the crowd tries to fire him up…but Kaz throws him down and Springboard Leg Drop gets two. Kaz mocks the Twist of Fate for Matt counters with the Side Russian, simultaneous tag, Nic and Jeff are in. Jeff signature hot tag offense, Leg Drop, Elbow, Kaz feeds into a Jawbreaker, Ryan eats a Twist, Nic tries something but eats the Mule Kick. Jeff wants a Twist on Nic, but he tries to fight out, but Matt comes in to help, Poetry in Motion, Side Effect into Splash from Jeff! Everyone’s in the ring, series of Hat Trick Sack of Shits!
Kaz tries to use a belt, Joe ducks it and Matt hits the Twist on Kaz. Hendry hits the Standing Ovation, looks to Jeff to hit a Swanton, but Trick Williams shows up and pulls out Hendry during the chaos and throws him into the steps! Jeff gets crotched, Matt gets taken out, Danger Zone on Jeff! Heels win and Trick and Joe are back in the ring…TRICK SHOT leaves Joe laying!
Overall Score: 6.75/10
This wasn’t the best episode, but it was entertaining and nothing really seemed to drag…which is more than I can say for most of the TNA episodes last month or so. Robbie E and Alicia Fox were unexpected, Trick makes sense, Cody Deaner needs to go away forever, Wentz burning his title shot already is frustrating. It’s frustrating because I like Wentz and if they’re gonna crown Leon, it better not be against Moose. Leon has no charisma, he’s tiny, suspension of disbelief can’t wish this away. So if it’s inevitable, just have Moose either cash in Option C or drop it to someone who isn’t the charisma vacuum known as Leon Slater.
But yeah, it was an inoffensive show. Not a lot of wrestling but enough segments that didn’t overstay their welcome and kept the show moving along at a decent clip. Nothing to write home about, but it planted seeds for Under Siege and had some things to genuinely be interested in.
