PLAY BY PLAY

A car crash just happened!

Authorities and EMTs are here as Solo Sikoa & MFT explain what just happened here in the parking lot. The Profits are also in view, and Cathy Kelley finds Adam Pearce to ask for an update. Pearce says they all came upon this at the same time, and this is a huge night, but Nick Aldis took the week off. Cody Rhodes walks over, he says Pearce has his hands clear, but he asks if Pearce has the contract for the title match. Yes, it has everything they talked about. Pearce lets Cody have it so he can look it over, but what can Pearce do for this wild and suspicious start to the show?

 

Alexa Bliss talks with Lily.

And that’s when Charlotte Flair walks in. Alexa says yes, she knows, teaming together was a huge bust, but Alexa was trying to do Charlotte a favor. They can just part ways. Charlotte says, “Blisster, you didn’t even hear what I had to say. Whenever have I done anything half way? We might’ve not won, but we didn’t lose, either. So that’s why I went to Adam Pearce and I got us a tag team title match at SummerSlam.” Wait. She went to Pearce, had a conversation, and walked out with a title match? Well, just because she’s in a team doesn’t mean Charlotte isn’t Charlotte. Alexa says in that case, she has some ideas.

No, no, focus. Charlotte is facing Raquel so she needs Alexa out there. Well, to quote Charlotte to herself, “Do I look like a cheerleader?” Uh, kinda. Darn right she does! In that case, yes, Alexa can be the cheerleader, but they’re still not friends. Will these totally-not-friends be on a roll towards their tag title second chance? Also, is that Giulia and… Kiana James talking in the background? Is The Calculator trying to cut a deal with The Beautiful Madness?

Charlotte Flair w/ Alexa Bliss VS Raquel Rodriguez w/ Roxanne Perez!

The bell rings, the fans rally, and the two circle. San Antonio lets out the “WOO~” as the two tie up. Raquel shoves Charlotte away, brushes herself off, but the fans rally behind Charlotte.

Winner: Charlotte Flair, by pinfall

The daughter of the Dirtiest Player in the Game gets a great assist from her totally-not-friend teammate! Will this be just the thing they need before going for gold at SummerSlam?

 

Adam Pearce is on the phone backstage.

He’s still handling the mysterious car crash, but the officers come by in person. They ask Pearce where they can find Jacob Fatu. For what? Well, he’s a person of interest in the investigation. Seriously? Jacob Fatu? Yes, sir. Well, follow him. They go around the corner, they spot Jacob, and Pearce says the officers have some questions about the hit ‘n’ run with Solo. What? Fatu ain’t going with no punk ass police! He didn’t even do nothing! They ask he calm down, he says no, they’re too close. Pearce calms Fatu down, just answer some questions and that’s it. Let’s not make this worse than it already is.

The Samoan Werewolf goes off to the side with the officers, but is it perhaps too easy to assume it was him? And if so, then who really rammed the MFT SUV?

 

WWE hears from both Tiffany Stratton and Jade Cargill.

The Wrestling Barbie says, “In two weeks, I will defend the WWE Women’s Championship against Jade Cargill at SummerSlam. And a lot has changed since we both debuted in the Royal Rumble.” And The Storm adds, “Tiffany and I both came up in this game quick.” They both had friendships destroyed, they both won gold, but Tiff points out the difference is… Only one of them has kept theirs. Jade points out that while Tiff became a champion, Jade fought through injury and betrayal, two pains that both change you. She let Naoim distract her, but that’s done. Now Jade goes for what’s hers: THE WWE Women’s Championship.

Tiff says time after time, she has been underestimated. “Just another dumb blonde, too naive, too inexperienced,” she has heard it all. But guess who is standing here as the WWE Women’s Champion? Not Trish Stratus, not Nia Jax, not Charlotte Flair. It’s Tiff! Jade says she’s been doubted and disrespected but she’s walked through the storm and earned the crown. Tiff is what they expect, but Jade is what they can’t control. Tiff says after SummerSlam, Jade will just be another name on the long list of those Tiff has beaten. Jade says she won’t just be another name. She doesn’t get attitude, she ends them. And at SummerSlam, Jade ends Tiffy Time, because a storm is coming.

Is there time still on the clock for Tiffany Stratton? Or is Jade’s time right around the corner?

 

Damian Priest is backstage.

The Archer of Infamy asks Carmelo Hayes if he’s seen Aleister Black. Nope. And even if he had, he wouldn’t say anything to Priest. What was that? Priest swears Melo finds the wrong time to open his mouth. Melo says nah, this was the right time. Because Melo warned Priest that this would happen, it happened, so don’t get hot at H1M, bro. Priest admits, Melo was right. But at some point, Priest will find Aleister. And while Aleister likes to think he’s big, bad ‘n’ evil, when Priest catches his ass, Aleister will be on his knees praying for forgiveness. And y’know what? Priest doesn’t even know why he was trying to play peacemaker. That’s not who he is.

But Priest is the guy who goes to the ring, he shuts people’s mouths, then he goes out to celebrate. Oh, okay. But Priest won’t have anything to celebrate cuz he ain’t gonna shut Melo’s mouth. Oh, is that right? Yeah, that’s right. Then how about they go 1v1 tonight? Melo says thank God, he’s been looking for an opportunity! Especially against a former world champion. Priest will get put out two times, back to back. Priest laughs and says he really hopes Melo keeps that energy tonight. See you in the ring. Will Priest make sure Melo faces some punishment for mouthing off? Or will Melo not miss the game winner this time?

Damian Priest VS Carmelo Hayes!

SmackDown returns as Priest makes his entrance with a lot of new smoke and mist going off. Priest gets in Melo’s face before going to the corner to pose. Melo almost goes after Priest but thinks better of it. But then Priest goes up another corner for more posing, and Melo attacks after all! The fans boo and the ref reprimands but Melo HAMMERS away on Priest! Melo stomps Priest down, backs off, and the ref checks with Priest. Priest still wants to fight so the bell rings, and Melo fires off again! Melo CLUBS Priest, soaks up heat from San Antonio, then whips. But Priest blocks! Priest whips Melo, Melo ducks ‘n’ dodges, and he ROCKS Priest!

Melo runs, but Priest CLOBBERS him! Priest finally takes his duster off and he drags Melo up to TOSS to a corner! Priest fires off heavy hands in return, then UPPERCUTS! The fans fire up and Priest whips. Melo grabs ropes, KICKS Priest, but Priest just gets mad again! Priest DECKS Melo! Melo tumbles out of the ring, Priest pursues, and Priest brings Melo around to scoop. Priest aims, but Melo slips free! Priest avoids hitting the post, but Melo DROPKICKS him into it! Priest falls, Melo flexes, and SmackDown goes to break.

SmackDown returns again and Melo has Priest down. Melo talks trash, slaps Priest around, then soaks up the heat from the fans. Melo says Priest is stupid! Stupid! Priest is pissed and he slams the mat, which fires the fans up! Priest rises to fire shots on Melo! Priest DECKS Melo, DECKS him again, then dodges a lariat to FLAPJACK! Melo flounders to a corner and the fans fire up! Priest runs in, BACK ELBOW! Priest keeps moving, JUMP SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up with Priest and he powers up his arm. Melo rises as Priest winds up, but Melo runs for it! Priest grabs Melo at the apron, but Melo HOTSHOTS the arm!

Melo tunes up the band, what a shot at HBK while we’re here in San Antonio! But Priest blocks the kick! And clamps on the guzel! SOUTH- NO, Melo slips free, ducks an elbow, but the BELL CLAP hits! But Melo hits LA MYSTICA! Then he springboards, but into a HAYMAKER! Priest kicks Melo low, reels him in and Canadian Racks! But Melo slips free! Melo goes to the corner, Priest runs in, but Melo dodges! Priest hits buckles and Melo climbs up top! Melo aims, NOTHING-

NOI, Priest dodges, that’s an airball! Priest clamps on, SOUTH OF- THE FIRST 48! Melo counters, then he goes up top! Melo hits a FROG SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Priest survives and the fans fire up! The fans fire up, “This is Awesome!” as Priest goes for the ropes. Melo stomps away on Priest, kicks him outside, then goes to the apron. Melo lines up a shot, he leaps again, but into a FOREARM! FLATLINER onto the desk! The fans fire up for Priest and he goes back to the ring. Priest has Melo with the knuckle lock, and we get some more Texas shoutouts as Priest goes Old School! BUT ALEISTER APPEARS!? And he trips Priest up!

Winner: Damian Priest, by disqualification

The fans boo as The Dark Father finds Priest first! Priest sputters and coughs from getting hit south of Heaven in his own right. The fans chant “You Suck! You Suck!” at Aleister, but he just tell Priest, “I heard you were looking for me.” BLACK MASS!! Down goes Priest, and Melo says he’s good. Melo leaves, and Aleister promises Priest he won’t need to come looking. Will Aleister make sure the Archer of Infamy doesn’t live forever, but instead #FadeToBlack?

 

The Wyatt Sick6 have a message.

Uncle Howdy says, “Look up. See us. We are where we belong.” Dexter Lumis says, “The Street Profits have shown that their bond is only held together by the lust for gold.” Erick Rowan says, “But we are built for this. A new family forged through pain. It’s not defined by the blood we share.” Nikki Cross laughs, and so does the rest of the family. Nikki says, “What about the blood that we shed?” Joe Gacy says, “One by one, we shall strip these teams of their wicked desires, and burn their vanity.” Howdy says, “You have been blind to the frailty of your favorite teams. Let the Wyatt Sick6 be your guide. All you have to do is follow.”

As truths are brought to light, will SmackDown belong to the darkness?

 

Solo Sikoa & MFT go to the ring.

San Antonio is a bit torn seeing the WWE United States Champion lead the way for JC Mateo, Tonga Loa & Talla Tonga. Solo grabs the mic as the four enter the ring, but the fans chant for either “FATU! FATU!” or “O T C! O T C!” Then the fans boo as Solo says, “Ladies and gentlemen, tonight is the perfect example of who Jacob Fatu really is. Without my guidance, Jacob is reckless! Okay? He don’t care about anybody. He doesn’t listen to anybody. All he cares about is his damn self!” The fans taunt Solo with “WHAT?” and “FATU! FATU!” Solo says he gave Jacob the world, gave him everything!

Solo brought him here to the WWE, made him successful, put money in his pocket and put food on his family’s table. Solo made Jacob a champion, and he deserves NONE OF IT! Jacob is so selfish, he betrayed his family! But Solo should’ve known. Once a criminal, always a criminal! The fans boo but Solo laughs and mocks the geeking out. But wait, Jimmy Uso is welcoming the police back in? Fatu has been released, and the officer apologizes. Upon reviewing footage from the parking lot, they could tell it was NOT Jacob Fatu. He is free to go handle business. Yeah, whatever… Fatu storms to gorilla and Solo is freaking out!

San Antonio fires up for Fatu as the music starts! The Samoan Werewolf splashes himself with some water right quick before he steps out under the bright lights! Fatu lets his dreads loose, but that’s still 4v1! Wait, BIG JIM dumps Talla Tonga! And GAMANGIRIS Solo! Jimmy & Jacob brawl with Loa & JC! SUPERKICK for Loa, then a dodge and CROSSBODY on JC! The Silverback and Imperial Unit are down, Fatu stomps Solo but Talla drags Jimmy out! Talla BOOTS Jimmy down, then he clears off the desk! The fans boo but Talla drags Jimmy up! The fans rally for “O T C! O T C!” but Fatu DIVES! Down goes Talla!

The fans fire up, but wait! Talla stands back up!? Talla roars, but Jimmy runs up! Talla grabs Jimmy, he grabs Jacob, but they break free! SUPERKICK from Jacob! SUPERKICK from Jimmy! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS and Talla falls against the barriers! Jimmy whips so that Jacob can reverse, Jimmy CLOBBERS Talla into the timekeeper’s area! Fatu storms in and he HAMMERS away on Solo! Jimmy adds some chairs to the mix, but Solo runs away! Jimmy says no you don’t, baby bro! Jimmy puts Solo in and Jacob SUPERKICKS! Then HIP ATTACK in the corner! Jacob geeks out, the fans fire up, and now Jacob has the chair!

The fans fire up even more as Jacob puts the chair around Solo’s neck! Jacob geeks out some more, and he runs corner to corner! But JC intercepts! The fans boo, Jimmy gets in, and he SUPERKICKS Loa back down! JC has Jimmy, Talla gets Solo to safety! Jacob SUPERKICKS JC! Jimmy goes up, aims at Loa, USO SPLASH! Then MIGHTY MOONSAULT onto JC! The fans fire up and Solo freaks out again! Jacob still has the chair, and he warns Solo this is what he’s gonna get! Jacob SMACKS JC on the back! Then he SMACKS Loa! Then SMACK for JC! Then SMACK for Loa! Pearce walks out here and he tells, “Solo, Solo, Solo…

“You wanna frame an innocent man and get Jacob locked up? Okay, let’s see how you like it… At SummerSlam! Look at me, Solo! Because you will defend your United States Championship against Jacob Fatu…! INSIDE A STEEL CAGE!” The fans fire up and Pearce adds one more thing. He has the police come out to arrest Solo! Solo is furious, but he’ll have to seethe in a San Antonio jail cell for the night! Will Solo soon wish he could stay there instead of in the cage with the Samoan Werewolf?

 

Stephanie Vaquer VS Alba Fyre w/ Piper Niven!

La Primera won the Evolution Battle Royal and is simply waiting for her title match at the Clash in Paris. But will Vaquer be en fuego this deep into the summer heat? Or will the Secret Her-vice look to slow her roll on behalf of The Hot Mess?

SmackDown returns and The Secret Her-vice make their entrance. The bell rings, Alba and Vaquer waistlock, Alba switches and SLAMS Vaquer. Alba flips Vaquer over but Vaquer kips up to arm-drag! Alba tumbles, Vaquer ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl roll-up! TWO and Alba is up, only for Vaquer to sit her down, turn her over, O’Conner Roll! TWO, and Alba swings! Vaquer blocks to SOBAT and HEADBUTT! Alba goes to a corner, Vaquer runs up, but Alba puts her on the apron. Vaquer CHOPS back, slingshots, but Alba SUPERKICKS her down! Alba then DIVES and takes Vaquer down at the ramp! Alba salutes, the fans boo, but Alba puts Vaquer in the ring.

Alba goes up a corner, aims, and SWANTON BOMBS but onto knees! Vaquer then SUPERKICKS Alba, reels her in, and hits a BIG back suplex! The fans fire up as Vaquer wraps on the headscissors! DEVIL’S KISS! AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH! YEEEEEAH~! Alba flounders, Vaquer drags her up and tucks her in, but Alba fights to a Gory Especial! Vaquer flips up and over, tucks and S V B!! Cover, Vaquer wins!

Winner: Stephanie Vaquer, by pinfall

Vaquer puts out the Fyre, but then Piper CLOBBERS Vaquer! And SENTONS! The fans boo but Piper talks trash. Piper drags Vaquer to the corner, climbs up, but Vaquer rises up to SHOVE Piper over! The fans cheer as Piper tumbles! Piper gets up but Vaquer SUPERKICKS her down! Vaquer thwarts the Secret Her-vice, will Chelsea Green have to handle this pressing issue herself?

 

Backstage interview with The Street Profits.

Cathy Kelley  is with Montez Ford, Angelo Dawkins & B-Fab, and notes we are only a week removed from their loss to the Wyatts. Now that they’ve had time to process, how are they feeling? Ford says last week was a good week for The Wyatts. They came up from their swamp, used their sneaky tactics, and took those tag team titles directly out of the Profits’ hands. Ain’t that something? Wow. Ford gets serious and says if we’re keeping it 150, that’s a reality they’re not ready to face right now. Dawkins says they’re not going anywhere any time soon. And best believe, they’ll get those titles back with the quickness.

Then that brings Cathy to her next question. There are four teams competing in a #1 contenders match, how are upset that the Profits were not included? Ford says it has been chaos, we all saw it. But then DIY walk by and mockingly applaud. Johnny Gargano says, “Look who it is! The guys who blew it last week against The Wyatt Sick6! And look who’s here once again to save the SmackDown Tag Division.” Tommaso Ciampa says this is a division that they love. But honestly, DIY always knew the Profits didn’t have what it takes. But like any true great leader knows, that if you want something done right, you do it yourself.

Candice says they should pay attention, they might learn something. B-Fab tells the Poison Pixie to watch her little… Ford has her stand down, and DIY goes to the ring. Will Gargano & Ciampa put their money where their mouths are and grab those golden tickets? Or will another team dare to follow the buzzards?

WWE Tag Team Championships #1 Contenders’ Fatal 4 Way: #DIY VS Motor City Machine Guns VS Fraxiom VS Andrade & Rey Fenix!

SmackDown returns as the newest duo of El Idolo & Immortal Firebird make their entrance. Nathan Frazer & Axiom are already in the ring with DIY and MCMG. In this Fatal 4 Way, only two teams are legal at a time, and Frazer steps up against Chris Sabin. They tie up, Sabin wrenches and wrangles Frazer with a wristlock, but Frazer kips up, wrenches back, but Sabin rolls, handsprings, and wrenches Frazer. Frazer rolls, handsprings, and he WRINGS Sabin, only for Sabin to UP KICK! Frazer kips up and the fans fire up, but DIY attacks them both! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but DIY also BLAST Shelley and Axiom!

Gargano runs up on Andrade but Andrade GAMANGIRIS first! Fenix springboards to MISSILE DROPKICK Ciampa! Then Andrade gives Fenix a boost to RANA Gargano! The fans fire up, Andrade y Fenix both build speed, but Fraxiom slips in and DOUBLE SUPERKICK them down! The fans are torn but then Fraxiom runs, only for MCMG to trip them up! MCMG drags Fraxiom out, then they build speed to WRECK DIY with baseball slide dropkicks! The fans fire up, Shelley holds the ropes open, Sabin DIVES through the five hole! Down goes DIY again and San Antonio fires up while SmackDown goes to break.

SmackDown returns again and DIY go after all the other teams again! But Shelley slips around Gargano to facelock, then he catches Ciampa! Sabin adds an ENZIGIRI to the COMPLETE SHOT DDT COMBO!

The fans fire up as there is a mess of seven people in the ring, Andrade beside himself on the outside. “This is Awesome!” as all the teams regroup. They all spot someone, and it is a brawl! Fenix with Axiom, Andrade with Frazer, and naturally DIY with MCMG! The fans fire up, things spill outside, DIY whips MCMG, but MCMG dosido! DIY dodge, MCMG dodge back, LARIATS on DIY in the corners! Frazer slips in and slips around Sabin to waistlock, but Shelley waistlocks Frazer. Frazer switches with Shelley but Sabin helps Shelley get free!

The ref hurries to check on everyone, that was a wild landing onto six other men! Candice also makes sure DIY is okay. All eight men are able to continue, so Gargano sends Shelley into the LED apron! And he BOOTS Sabin down! Ciampa puts Axiom in the ring, brings his kneepad down, and aims from the corner. Ciampa runs in, PSYCHO KNEE on Axiom! Cover, TWO!! Axiom survives and Ciampa is furious!

This team may be the newest combination, but when it clicks, it just clicks! Will El Idolo & Immortal Firebird send the same message to Joe Gacy & Dexter Lumis? Or will the fireflies descend upon The Land?

 

Adam Pearce is in the ring.

The Raw General Manager is again substituting for Nick Aldis as he welcomes us to the official contract signing for the Undisputed WWE Championship match set for SummerSlam! Please join him in welcoming the challenger, The American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes! San Antonio sounds a bit conflicted, but they still sing along with Kingdom, “WHOA~ OH~!” Cody gets his pyro and he brings the contract to the ring. Cody joins Pearce at the table as we reach the second “WHOA~ OH~!” They shake hands, and Cody grabs the pen to sign his part of the contract. Cody then grabs the mic to say, “So, San Antonio…! Whaddya wanna talk about?”

Cody appreciates the warm reception making him feel like a Texan. Cody’s father was a Texan, his older brother is a Texan. They were outlaws and all Cody ever wanted to be was just like them. Cody got to be something different, though, he got to be the WWE Undisputed Champion. This past week, he posted to social media, and the moment he hit “Send,” it was overanalyzed, scrutinized, and dissected. The gist was simple: Do not flinch, thank you for riding with me. The fans do cheer that, but Cody says the first part might have been more for Cody. He did not flinch when at the age of 35, he returned at WrestleMania and came home.

Cody did not flinch when he was across from a future Hall of Famer while he had a muscle hanging off the bone. He did not flinch when he stood across from The Beast, when he went back to back in the Royal Rumble, one of them here in this very city… And Cody did not flinch when he faced his friend, his brother, Jey Uso, or when he faced his mentor, Randy Orton, or when that politicking Final Boss came for his soul and for his spot! The fans cheer, and Cody cools down a bit. Cody admits, he did flinch at WrestleMania 41 against one of the most beloved wrestlers in the history of their sport, John Cena.

The fans are even more torn hearing that name. And Cody understands that. It is an unenviable task trying to take away something from one of the most beloved wrestlers in the history of the game. But nonetheless, it is the task Cody was born for. At SummerSlam, it is one match for the rest of Cody’s life. And Cody knows that he has signed, but it takes two to tango. So Mr. Pearce, if you will. Pearce welcomes out now the Undisputed WWE Champion, JOHN CENA! The fans fire up as Cena’s music hits, and yet they still sing, “JOHN CENA SUCKS~!” Cena shows the Spurs inspired towel and gear before he goes to the ring.

Cena has the music stop and he wants Cody to sit down. They sit at the table and Cena says give him a second, really. Cena wants Cody to understand, he has some bad news. Cena is not going to be at SummerSlam. Yes, this is the first time they’re all hearing this, but this is a decision Cena made and took to the top of the chain of command. Hear him out, please. The fans boo but Cena says we all know Cena is recording a big movie for Netflix in New York, there are no surprises for them. Things have been transparent, Cena is emotionally exhausted, and perhaps it is best Cena does not physically compete at SummerSlam.

The fans boo but Cena doesn’t want anyone jumping to conclusions. Cena is here to be the good guy. He knows Cody earned his rematch, he will get it, maybe in Paris or Perth. But as far as SummerSlam, guys, no, there is no way in good faith that Cena can sign the contract, okay? The fans boo but Cen ais still defensive. He is just as upset, we’re all upset. There is nothing we can do here, though. There is nothing they can do. If the name goes on the contract, Cena has to be there. They waited until the final second, it was a tough choice to make, but “we talked,” and “everyone” understands Cena worked hard, he just is emotionally out of it.

This is a tough decision but it is what is best for business, okay? The fans continue to boo but Cena wants them to be reasonable. They don’t even know how hard it was to make it here tonight. Seriously! This is his farewell tour! He wanted to give us fireworks and a night to remember. Cody is getting worked up, he does not believe this for a second. Cena says right now, physically, emotionally, this is all he can give us. The fans continue to boo, but Cena thanks them all for being here, he appreciates their understanding and their patience in this matter. Cena thanks Cody for this, the rematch is coming, just… Goodnight, San Antonio.

Cena exits but Cody throws off his jacket! Cody runs Cena down and fires hands! The fans fire up as Cody makes Cena go back to the ring! Cody SMACKS Cena off the apron, whips, but Cena reverses to send Cody into steel steps! Cena SMACKS Cody off the steps, then puts him in the ring! Cena runs away!? Wait, he grabs the belt instead! Cena storms into the ring with it, takes aim, but Cody ducks the belt shot! Cody kicks low, KICKS the belt into the air, and Cody has it now! Cena staggers about, Cody runs up, BELT SHOT on Cena!! The fans fire up as Cody has the contract. Cody pushes Cena onto the table, and he punches away on Cena’s head!

Cody opens the contract, brings it with him to the corner, and climbs up top!? DIVING BODY PRESS through the table!! Cena sputters, Cody grabs the pen, and he puts it in Cena’s hand! Cody MAKES Cena sign his name on the contract! Cody is fuming as he grabs a mic to say, “John Cena! Check the fine print! It’s not just a match for the title at SummerSlam! It’s a STREET FIGHT!!” The fans are thunderous as the American Nightmare just upped the ante on The GOAT! Will the Never-Seen Seventeen even survive to see the end of his farewell tour? Or will Cody make sure justice is served in New Jersey?


My Thoughts:

A great SmackDown to add some fire to SummerSlam here. For one, real clever though quick whodunnit with the parking lot incident. MFT framing Jacob Fatu was clever, because I believe Fatu did once ram someone’s car with his when he first showed up and was under Solo’s command. But naturally, they get found out, and we get a great brawl from Jacob & Jimmy against MFT. I’m pretty sure Jimmy & Jacob will face JC & Loa in a tag match to further hype the US Championship Steel Cage match. But being a cage match, those always incite interference so somehow, I feel like MFT costs Jacob.

Really fun stuff from Charlotte VS Raquel as we also see Charlotte and Alexa grow a bit closer as a team. Great win with Alexa helping Charlotte cheat the cheaters, and that tag title match will be great stuff. Very good promo from Priest and Melo and a great match between them, but Aleister “ruining” it was a logical move to build the Priest-Aleister feud. They’ll surely set a match up soon, and I feel like Aleister needs the win more than Priest. Very quick stuff with Vaquer beating Alba and then punking out Piper, and no Chelsea. But then Kiana James makes a very subtle return talking with Giulia. I’m not sure what that could lead to, I don’t think Giulia needs a manager, unless Kiana reveals herself to be a “Secretary of Something Something” for Chelsea.

Very good promo from Tiffany and Jade to hype up their match, which could go either way not that there’s no cash-in to worry about. Honestly, if the WWE does their Draft after SummerSlam on the road to Clash in Paris, I could see them moving Vaquer over to officially be on SmackDown and she challenges for that title. Very good promo from the full Wyatt Sick6, stating that as is always the way with The Wyatts, they’re exposing those inner Heel tendencies of Face superstars/teams, we’ll see who they affect first. The Profits had a good promo with DIY, it probably isn’t either of those teams, DIY are already strongly Heel and the Profits didn’t give off any strong Heel vibes.

That was an awesome tag Fatal 4 Way, all four teams getting to bust out their stuff. But I figured Andrade & Fenix would win, it makes for the freshest match-up, but is also a team that can easily fall apart since they only just joined together. The tag match happening next week for SmackDown does foreshadow that a bit. And great contract signing segment with Cody and Cena. The mixed reaction for Cody is intriguing, perhaps his long monologuing promos are starting to grate. At the same time, Cody always pontificating is perhaps a sign he’s dipping back into that strange “He’s a Heel but doesn’t act it” thing he tried in AEW.

But Cody was still the Face here as Cena got all the heat trying to weasel his way out of this match. Cody beating him up was great, classic contract signing stuff. But with a couple more weeks before SummerSlam, the go-home math isn’t finalized, so if Cena finds a way to stand tall the next time, maybe that indicates Cody wins the title back. Honestly, not sure which direction I’d prefer.

My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Roman Reigns speaks.

“What’d I tell you? I told you to take advantage of your time. When I won the Rumble, I told you to enjoy the relevancy that you had left. And what’d you do? You did exactly what I thought you would: You lied. You tried to revise all of the Tribal Chief’s history. But that’s the thing: Our fanbase, our crowd, the WWE Universe, they lived through it all, and all you did was expose yourself as a hypocrite.” Scenes review how Punk contradicted himself from his past, and even over the past year. Even Pat McAfee called Punk out on being a fraud. “What’d I say? Embarrassing.”

Roman admits he likes Pat, he really does. But never in the world has a punter ran his mouth to Roman. No one believes in Punk, it’s not 2012 anymore. The Tribal Chief doesn’t lie. That’s why everyone believes in him and trusts him. Tonight, Roman gives Punk one last opportunity: Either Punk tells the truth, or Roman will. “This message has been approved by Your Tribal Chief.”

 

Triple H and Adam Pearce are in the ring.

The Raw General Manager welcomes us to Monday Night Raw, and says that in order to make sure this match makes it to WrestleMania, Pearce has decided that the contract will be signed separately. But then “Ladies and gentlemen…” Paul Heyman walks out, makes his introductions, and says that for once in his life, Adam Pearce is correct! You damn right they’ll sign separately, because now it is Fight Week! That means no one needs to even get CLOSE to the Beast, BRRROCK! LESNAR!! With that, Sacramento cheers as Lesnar himself makes his entrance, pyro and all.

Lesnar & Heyman go to the ring, and Lesnar takes the pen to sign on the dotted line. No time wasted as Lesnar even tips his cap to HHH and Pearce. The fans cheer Lesnar, and Heyman says there we go. History made, contract signed, and it may as well be a death warrant with one man’s name across the bottom of it. The fans already cheer for “O~BA! HOOT!” Heyman frowns, but he says he is glad- OH, Lesnar takes the mic! “You wont’ even know his name after this weekend!”

Lesnar hands the mic back, and Heyman says this is what it boils down to. Sunday, in the REAL main event of WrestleMania, this is not a prediction, this is a spoiler: There is going to be a winner, there is going to be a loser. This Sunday, at WrestleMania, the loser’s name will be OBA, FEMI! The fans boo, but Heyman says the rumors that there can handle The Beast, the winner will be the greatest combat sports athlete ever, The Conqueror, BRRROCK! LESNARRR!! Lesnar & Heyman leave, but will Oba’s response be with actions, not words?

 

IShowSpeed starts training.

Austin Theory & Logan Paul meet up with him and ask if he’s ready. He says he’s not a pro-wrestler, this is his first match, and it’s at WrestleMania! Logan asks what Speed is saying. It doesn’t matter! Doubt looks disgusting on him! He’s a phenom! He IS IShowSpeed! Time to lock in! Grandest Stage of Them All! Think about it: The Usos are no longer WWE World Tag Team Champions, because of Speed; LA Knight got hit by those brass knuckles by Speed. They’re out to get him! If he thought being thrown into his computer was bad, it’ll be way worse. Lock in! Everyone hates Speed, except The Vision!

The Vision has Speed’s back, so time for Speed to have their back! Lock in! Let’s get this bread! Show of Shows! Speed says okay, let’s do it. The training montage begins, Logan & Theory coaching Speed through the drills. They tell Speed to tie up like you mean it! Speed does the scoops, the jumps, and even a suplex. Speed even goes the extra mile with a Boston Crab! Logan & Theory like it! Speed has locked in, but will he get shut down to start WrestleMania Saturday?

 

Charlotte Flair w/ Alexa Bliss VS Lyra Valkyria w/ Bayley!

The Queen helped “Blisster” sneak one on Bayley last Friday Night SmackDown, but now she must face The Morrigan! Will The Daughter of the Dirtiest Player in the Game have some more tricks up her proverbial sleeve? Or will Lyra make sure there’s a Change of Fortune before WrestleMania in Vegas?

Raw returns as Lyra makes her entrance, Bayley by her side. The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. The fans “WOO~” for Charlotte but Lyra brushes that off. The two tie up, are in a deadlock, but Lyra headlocks for a takeover. Charlotte slips through to get a leg, but Lyra kicks her away. The fans cheer, Lyra headlocks for another takeover, but Charlotte headscissors. The fans rally up, Lyra moves around, and Lyra handstands to walk free! The fans “WHEW~!” for Lyra but Charlotte kips up, and the fans “WOO~!” Charlotte then eggs Lyra on, dodges her, and waistlocks for the SLAM!

The fans cheer while Charlotte taunts Lyra. Lyra rises, runs up, but Charlotte dodges and runs to RUN Lyra over! Charlotte throws up the Four Horsewomen for Bayley, but Lyra gets up to pie face Charlotte! The fans rally, Charlotte gets mad, but Lyra still pie faces her! Charlotte CHOPS Lyra, but Lyra dodges the next to CROSSBODY! And WHEEL KICK! Cover, TWO! The fans cheer and Bayley coaches Lyra. Lyra whips Charlotte, Charlotte reverses, but Lyra goes up and over! Lyra runs up, Charlotte dodges, but Lyra BOOTS her! Charlotte GAMANGIRIS in return! Charlotte whips, Lyra reverses, but Charlotte goes up and out!

Charlotte BOOT- NO, Lyra blocks the leg and SWEEPS the other! Lyra then WRECKS Charlotte with the dropkick! The fans fire up with Lyra, she takes aim, but Charlotte avoids the plancha! Charlotte BOOTS Lyra down, the fans “WOO~,” and Raw goes to break.

Raw returns again as Charlotte stands tall, then steps on Lyra as she goes to the corner. Charlotte climbs up, but Lyra anchors a foot! Charlotte kicks Lyra away, adjusts, but Lyra YANKS her down! The fans rally as Lyra goes up, and PERIPETEIA!! Cover, TWO!! Charlotte survives the flying leg drop but Bayley coaches Lyra through. Lyra goes up the corner, the fans cheer, and she MOONSAULTS, but onto knees! Charlotte steps through but Lyra makes it a cradle, TWO! Charlotte escapes, but Lyra ENZIGIRIS! Charlotte staggers to the ropes, but she BOOTS in return! The fans rally again while Charlotte drags Lyra into the drop zone.

Charlotte climbs back up the corner, Bayley warns Lyra, MOONSAULT still hits! Cover, TWO! Lyra survives and Charlotte is shocked! Charlotte snarls, runs, and NATRUAL- NO, Lyra dodges, ghost pins, TWO!! Charlotte escapes again, but Lyra dodges the boot to ROCK her with a forearm! And RAM, then KICK, and CLUB away! Charlotte CHOPS back, then talks trash on Lyra. Charlotte kicks, Lyra blocks, and Lyra hooks the leg to FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO! Charlotte survives and the fans fire up! Lyra is frustrated but Bayley coaches her again. Lyra drags Charlotte up, fireman’s carries, but Charlotte fights free!

Charlotte TOSSES Lyra out onto Bayley! Charlotte then hurries to get Lyra back inside, pushes her to a corner, then runs up. Lyra ENZI- NO, Charlotte ducks it! Charlotte O’Conner Rolls Lyra, but Bayley trips Charlotte up! Lyra has the O’Conner now, AND LYRA WINS!

Winner: Lyra Valkyria, by pinfall

Bayley just returned the favor for Friday, but that pisses Charlotte off! Alexa gets in on this, too, but the ref tries to keep this from turning into a fight! Add in the Irresistible Force AND The Bella Twins, are we about to see fireworks at WrestleMania?

 

LA Knight meets up with The Usos.

He asks them if they saw the IShowSpeed training montage, and they say nope. They just saw Knight throw him through his own screen on his own stream. Knight says they’ll all get a chance at those cross-eyed halfwits at WrestleMania. But wait, what’s MFT doing here? Solo Sikoa leads JC Mateo, Talla Tonga & Tonga Loa in, and he says good to see them, too. But this is what he was talking about! This family is just one big mess! Solo’s dealing with a lot on SmackDown with Jacob Fatu, and Tama Tonga isn’t here when he should be. And every time he watches Raw, The Usos make the family look bad just hanging out with this clown!

Jimmy says lil’ brother has a big problem. Knight says hey, they were all wondering how to get themselves on Raw tonight, and here’s our solution! Any three of the MFT goon squad can meet Knight & The Usos out there, they can get a Six Man Tag practice in! It’ll be him, Jim, and Jey, and ALL of MFT will get slapped back to factory settings! YEAH! Knight head out, Solo asks what Jey says to that. Jey says YEET. The Usos head out, will they and the Mega Star tear down Solo’s family tree as a warm-up for WrestleMania?

 

Stephanie Vaquer is here!

The fans cheer as La Primera heads to the ring, the WWE Women’s World Championship on her shoulder. Cathy Kelley is in the ring to talk about the escalation between Vaquer and Liv Morgan. OH SNAP, Liv CLOBBERS Vaquer into Cathy! Liv gets payback for Vaquer knocking Liv into Roxie last week, and Liv HAMMERS away on the champ! The fans fire up as Vaquer turns things around, but producers and refs rush out here already! The fans boo, they want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Liv is shrieking, Vaquer is seething, but Liv grabs a mic to shout that Vaquer fight her here and now!

Liv knew Vaquer’s mama was trash, but who knew she raised such a little b*tch!! Liv throws the mic down, Vaquer grabs it up and tells Liv off in Spanish, “Why wait ‘til WrestleMania?!” Vaquer storms the ring and the brawl is back on! The fans fire up, but the producers and refs hurry to pull them apart! Vaquer and Liv get what kicks they can, then Vaquer gets loose! Vaquer CLOBBERS Liv against the ropes! Liv tumbles out but she wants back in! “YOU’RE DONE FOR!!” There’s madness in Liv’s eyes, there’s determination in Vaquer’s, but who will survive when these two finally have it out?

 

Backstage interview with Iyo Sky.

Jackie Redmond is with The Genius and brings up her helping Rhea Ripley over the last few weeks. But after her match with Jade Cargill on SmackDown, is there anything Iyo wants to say? Iyo says she lost, but she doesn’t regret fighting for her friend. And at WrestleMania, no one will be rooting for Rhea Ripley more than Iyo Sky! But then in step the Kabuki Warriors. Asuka smirks as she tells Iyo that Rhea is not her problem, dummy. Last year, Iyo went into WrestleMania as Women’s World Champion. But this year, it’s just as “Rhea’s sidekick.” Iyo says she has had enough of this!

Iyo tells Kairi that she does NOT have to take this from Asuka! Asuka tells her to shut up! Asuka says Kairi is loyal to her senpai. And she’ll prove it tonight against IYO! Kairi is worried but Asuka says Kairi’s got this. Kairi says, “Right, senpai.” Asuka says good girl! Asuka leads Kairi away, but could this fight be just the thing to reach through to her? Or will the Empress of Tomorrow always have an iron grip on the Pirate Princess?

 

The Usos are in the concourse!

The fans are already fired up as Jimmy & Jey come through! Uce, please, please, hit their music! UH UH, YEET!! Sacramento bounces along, and it is time to see if #BigJim, Main Event Jey & The Mega Star can work as a trio!

Six Man Tag: LA Knight & The Usos VS MFT!

Raw returns as LA Knight makes his entrance, joining The Usos in the ring. Now MFT makes their entrance, and they’ve selected Tonga Loa, JC Mateo & Solo Sikoa himself to fight this one out. The teams sort out, and JC starts against Jimmy. The bell rings, the two tie up, and JC throws hands on Jimmy! JC whips, Jimmy goes up and over to mule kick! Then pop, lock and UPPERCUT! Jimmy RAMS JC into the corner, he tags Jey, and Jey runs up to ROCK JC! Jey waits on JC, runs up and LARIATS him up and out! JC flops to the floor, Jimmy holds the ropes for Jey to FLY! Direct hit on JC at the ramp and the fans fire up!

Jey hurries back into the ring, he gets the fans to YEET, and Raw goes to break.

Raw returns again, and Solo has Jey down with a shoulder claw! The fans rally for Jey, he fights up, and he fires body shots! Jey ROCKS Solo, then ROCKS JC and Loa for good measure! Jey fires more hands, then runs, but Solo CLOBBERS him! The fans boo but Solo BLASTS Jimmy! Solo mocks Knight by spelling it out, then he drags Jey up. Solo taunts Knight, but he blocks Jey’s kick! Only to get the DRAGON WHIP! The fans fire up while both men are down, and they both crawl, hot tags to Knight and Loa! The fans fire up as Knight rallies on Loa & JC with a LAIRAT, a BIG back suplex, then a TOSS!

The fans cheer as Knight waves by to JC, but Loa scoops! Knight slips free to REVERSE DDT! Knight rolls back to his feet and goes to the corner! The fans join in as Knight spells it out, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!” BOX JUMP ELBOW DROP! Cover, but JC SPLASHES on it! Jimmy SUPERKICKS JC! Solo SAMOAN SPIKES Jimmy! Jey dodges one, then he DUMPS Solo out! Jey builds speed and DIVES, but Solo catches him! And SLAM DUNKS him on the desk! The fans boo but Solo then spots… Tama Tonga! Solo demands to know where Tama was, as does Tama’s brother, Talla. But in the ring, B F T for Loa! Cover, Knight & Usos win!

Winners: LA Knight & The Usos, by pinfall

Solo is speechless! He got distracted by dysfunction and he lost the match! Does this not bode well for the coming Street Fight against the Wyatts?

 

GUNTHER is here!

Sacramento boos Der Ring General as he walks down the ramp and to the ring, a smile on his face. But what will “The Career Killer” have to say about his coming match with Seth Rollins? We’ll find out, after the break.

Raw returns with Gunther in the ring, mic in hand. The fans boo but Gunther just soaks it all up with a laugh. But then SETH ROLLINS rushes the ring! Rollins TACKLES Gunther and the scrap is on! The fans cheer as Rollins takes the fight to Gunther, but Gunther bails out of the ring! Rollins throws off the jacket, grabs the mic, and shouts, “Two weeks in a row, you’ve jumped me! That’s your receipt, Gunther! And in six nights at WrestleMania, I finish the job!” The fans cheer that! Rollins says Gunther thinks this is personal for him.

If that’s the truth and not just Gunther kissing Heyman’s ass for a favor, then be a man and walk back into the ring, look Rollins in the eye, and tell him why he wants to fight Rollins! The fans cheer but Gunther hesitates. Gunther tells Rollins off in German, but then he storms back down to ringside. The fans sing “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” for Rollins while Gunther grabs a new mic. Gunther gets right in Rollins’ face and tells him, “Yeah, sure, Seth. I am solving Heyman’s problem, and I’ll do it with a smile on my face, because you are pissing me off!” For years, Rollins strutted around like he’s the best when in reality, he’s NOT, GUNTHER IS!

And if Rollins were honest with himself, he never wanted to find out! Because when Gunther was World Heavyweight Champion, seeking out the highest level of competition, Rollins became a useful idiot for Heyman! So at WrestleMania, it IS personal! Gunther is setting the record straight as he shows Rollins can’t lace Gunther’s boots! The forearms fly again and the fans fire up! Rollins fires more shots, but Gunther KNEES low! Gunther reels Rollins in, but Rollins slips free to BOOT Gunther down! Gunther bails out again! But then Rollins lines up a shot, only for Gunther to avoid the Curb Stomp!

Gunther runs away into the crowd, Rollins’ eyes locked on him like a hawk! Rollins goes back to the ring to stand on the corner, and the fans all sing “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” Rollins and Gunther finally have it out, but who will #BurnItDown in Las Vegas?

 

Dominik Mysterio talks with Adam Pearce in his office.

Dirty Dom complains that not only does Pearce give that deadbeat dad, Rey Mysterio, a chance at Dom’s Intercontinental Championship in that ladder match, and now Dom has to face THE DEMON at WrestleMania?! Finn Balor swore The Demon was dead, so that doesn’t even make any sense! The contract was for Dom VS Finn, not a demon! This is not fair, cancel the match. Does all Dom do is complain? First of all, Rey is a WWE Hall of Famer, he deserves to be in a title match like that at WrestleMania.

And if we wanna talk Dom VS Demon, when Dom goes back to the clubhouse, he should stop in front of the first mirror there is and stare right into the face looking back at him. Dom will hopefully see one of two things: One, Rey does deserve this match; and when it comes to Finn, Dom is getting what he deserves. Have a great night. Dom says that’s not fair! Dom got himself into this situation, can he find a way out of it? Or will The Demon drag Dom to Hell in Sin City?

 

Iyo Sky VS Kairi Sane w/ Asuka!

The Genius did what she could against The Storm on Friday, but now she handles some personal business of her own here on Monday. Will Iyo find a way to free Kairi from Asuka’s emotional manipulation? Or is Kairi already too far gone?

Raw returns as Kairi makes her entrance, Asuka by her side. The bell rings and Kairi runs up! Iyo dodges, but Kairi comes back to THESZ PRESS! Kairi rains down fists, but Iyo turns things around to return those shots. Kairi HAMMERS Iyo, DRIBBLES her off the mat, then stomps Iyo down! Cocky cover, ONE! Kairi whips Iyo but Iyo reverses, only for Kairi to reverse back. Kairi then RAMS Iyo into the corner! The fans are torn as Kairi runs corner to corner, SLIDING D! Then Kairi pushes Iyo to the drop zone and climbs the corner. Kairi hits a FLYING KABUKI ELBOW! Cover, TWO! The fans rally while Kairi sits Iyo up.

Kairi kicks Iyo around, pushes her around, and eggs her on. Kairi drags Iyo up, but Iyo fires body shots. Kairi snapmares and chinlocks, but the fans rally for Iyo as she endures. Iyo fights up, but Kairi CLUBS her back down! Kairi squeezes tight, but the fans rally up harder. Iyo rises again, but Kairi kicks low! Kairi whips, Iyo reverses, and Iyo hip tosses, only for Kairi to roll through! They speed things up, Kairi goes up and RANAS, but Iyo handsprings through! The fans cheer Iyo as she then ducks, redirects, and pommels over Kairi! Iyo sweeps the leg and SHOTGUNS Kairi out!

The fans fire up for Iyo while she goes to the apron. Kairi anchors a leg and she YANKS Iyo down! Iyo smacks off the apron, then Kairi sends her into barriers. Iyo mule kicks in return, then goes up onto the barriers, to QUEBRADA! Direct hit on Kairi and Sacramento cheers while Raw goes to break.

Raw returns again as Iyo CLOBBERS Kairi! Kairi comes back, but Iyo dodges to ELBOW, UPPERCUT, and SHOTEI! Kairi ducks the buzzsaw but not the HEEL KICK! Iyo whips, Kairi reverses, but Iyo goes up and out. Iyo KICKS Kairi in the ropes, then goes up top for a MISSILE DROPKICK! Iyo kips up and the fans fire up for the crazy taunt! Iyo runs corner to corner for the SHINKANSEN! Iyo drags Kairi into the drop zone, steps on her as she goes to the corner, then climbs again. But Kairi trips Iyo up! Iyo hits buckles, but she fires a forearm in return! Kairi goes outside now and Iyo climbs up.

Iyo drags Kairi to the very top of the corner, and the fans fire up again. Kairi resists whatever Iyo is planning, and she HEADBUTTS Iyo! Iyo falls into the Tree of Woe, but she manages to SHOTEI! Kairi distracts the ref, Asuka SMACKS Iyo off the post! The fans boo, the ref wonders what happened, but RHEA RIPLEY is here! Iyo helped Rhea, now Rhea’s gonna help Iyo! Rhea runs up and HEADBUTTS Asuka! Then a pump handle for- NO, Jade Cargill CLOBBERS Rhea! The Storm followed Mami to Raw for a moment like this! But Iyo DIVES and takes Jade down! Asuka eggs Iyo on, but Kairi drags Iyo up!

Iyo ducks the uraken to GAMANGIRI! Kairi falls into place, Iyo climbs up again, but Kairi again distracts the ref! Asuka trips Iyo up again! Kairi rolls Iyo up, Kairi wins!

Winner: Kairi Sane, by pinfall

Iyo can’t believe it! The Kabuki Warriors celebrate their victory together, is there no freeing Kairi from the hold Asuka has on her?

 

Triple H and Adam Pearce are back in the ring!

Just as they did to open the night, The Game and the Raw General Manager are here, ready for the other signature on the contract. Pearce welcomes out Brock Lesnar’s WrestleMania opponent, The Ruler, Oba Femi! The fans cheer as “O~BA!” indeed struts his way to the ring. Oba takes the contract and the pen, signs his part, then takes the mic. But HHH points to the stage, because Heyman has reappeared. The fans continue to chant for “O~BA!” Heyman says he’s been in this industry for his entire life, and he has never, ever seen someone come across to the audience as the biggest star as fast as Oba Femi.

And being in the industry his entire life, Heyman knows where he is safe and where he is not, for Oba is a violent man. Heyman will stay here on stage, if that’s okay with Oba. But being the violent man Oba is, he is the most violent person to come into the WWE since… Well, Brock Lesnar! Oba is the fastest rising star in the WWE since Brock Lesnar. Oba is the most impressive athlete, most impressive fighter, most impressive combat athlete. The fans chant more, but Heyman says they’re starting to piss him off. But the fact of the matter is, on Sunday, this all comes to an end.

On Sunday, everything that Oba has built comes crashing down! It comes crashing down in Suplex City, it comes crashing down with an F5, it comes crashing down when Oba is conquered by BRRROCK LESNARRR! The chants just get louder, but Heyman says there is no shame in a loss like this. There is nothing but pride, because Oba is in the real main event of WrestleMania! And when you get conquered, and by God you will be conquered by Brock Lesnar… Heyman gives Oba his word, that when Oba needs to rebuild after WrestleMania, Heyman’s door will always be open to Oba Femi.

The fans boo, but Oba says, “Paul, it’s taking everything in me to not come down that ramp and beat you pillar to post.” The fans cheer for that! They even chant, “BEAT HIS ASS!” Oba says it is deeper than that. The physical pain and scars will heal. If Oba beats Heyman up, the physical will heal. But the emotional wounds from Oba beating The Beast will last forever! The fans cheer again, and Oba says as far as that door, go ahead and close it. The only door Oba needs open is already open, and that is the door to WrestleMania!

Because two months ago, Heyman and his Beast issued an Open Challenge to whoever dared to step up, without even caring who would. And why would Heyman? Because there has been 25 years of history that says Lesnar cannot be beat. But Oba has four weeks of history that says Lesnar absolutely can! And this has never been personal, it is all just business. But this time, it is different! Heyman can feel it, Oba can feel it, the fans can feel it! It is time to put an end to The Beast! Heyman’s been there the whole way, has been Lesnar’s friend, Advocate, mouthpiece, and a good one at that. But he’s never been an honest one!

The fans chant for Oba again, and Oba says if Heyman were honest, he would’ve come out here and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman, and my client, Brock Lesnar, is SCARED of Oba Femi! He is AFRAID of Oba Femi!” Because this is The Ruler, the Bringer of War, the Mountain You Cannot Conquer, and at WrestleMania, Oba will slay the Beast, because he is THE ONE! The fans fire up again, and Oba says he IS the one. He knows it, the fans know it, and at WrestleMania, Heyman will know it, too! Heyman seems forlorn. But is it for Lesnar? Or over what Lesnar will do to Oba to prove Oba wrong?

 

Je’Von Evans & Dragon Lee VS JD McDonagh & Rusev!

Before they all battle in the Six Pack Ladder Match, the Young OG teams with the Boy Wonder against the Irish Ace and Bulgarian Brute! Which side builds momentum before things truly escalate at WrestleMania?

Raw returns as JD makes his entrance, joining the others in the ring. The teams sort out and JD starts against Dragon, but then BLASTS Dragon and Je’Von in the corner!

Adam Pearce is on the phone.

The Raw GM says it doesn’t get any bigger! The Greatest of All Time, JOHN CENA, hosting WrestleMania 42! Yeah, that’s huge! But then Danhausen interrupts. Is that him? Him who? John Cena. Speaking of which, Danhausen would like to address his demandhausens. Since Danhausen is undefeated at 1-0 and surely a future Hall of Famer, some referring to him as the Uberest of All Time, Danhausen demands to speak with Mr. Cena. No, not happening. But since Cena is hosting WrestleMania, Danhausen can talk to him there, surely Cena will be delighted for that. Now, if you’ll excuse Pearce, he has to finish this call.

Danhausen hopes he can see Cena, since you can’t see me. Pearce says he needs a drink. He ends his call, but then Danhausen is gone. Maybe we really can’t see Danhausen… But is WrestleMania about to be cursed?

 

Roman Reigns heads to the ring!

Sacramento cheers, raising their ones to the sky for the OTC! Roman gave CM Punk the ultimatum to open the show, how will the WWE World Heavyweight Champion choose to close the show? We’re going to find out, after the break.

Raw returns as Roman stands in the ring. He raises his finger to the sky and gets the pyro. Roman then grabs a mic, and the fans chant “O T C! O T C!” Roman takes a moment while the fans duel between “Roman, Roman Reigns~!” and “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” The “O T C! O T C!” takes over, and Roman nods before saying, “Sacramento…! ACKNOWLEDGE ME!” The fans cheer, but then CM Punk makes his entrance after all! The fans cheer all the same, and they even sing along with Cult of Personality. Roman waits, but Punk doesn’t come out from the stage! He’s in the crowd!

Roman realizes this, and he watches Punk make his way down, high-fiving fans as he goes. Punk eventually reaches ringside, and he smiles as he sees Roman’s eyes are locked on him. Punk steps up onto the desk, shows off the Sacramento Kings colored merch shirt, and says, “After watching the cold open, what amounts to a political smear campaign put together I assume by yourself, I’ve come out here to tell the truth. And I’m gonna have the people of Sacramento be my witnesses, and Roman, you can be the judge, the jury, and the executioner. So, as I tell my story, as I tell my truth, tell me when I’m telling lies.”

Punk hops off the desk, but Roman tells him if he steps into the ring, they won’t need these mics. Punk still walks up the steel steps, goes to the apron, and he stares Roman down while the fans continue dueling chants. Punk says he thought about this over the last few weeks. He hates Roman, because he envies Roman. “This is all I ever wanted. This is the only dream I had in my heart since I was a little kid. And I envy the fact that it was handed to you. And I hate that you were champion for 1,316 days. Because after some self-reflection, I hate that I know how hard you worked your ass off to be that great.

“In the history books, in the future, when they talk about legacy, they’re not gonna ask how, they’re gonna ask how many. And I hate that number, 1316. I hate the amount of times you’ve main-evented WrestleMania. Tell me when I’m telling lies, Roman. Have I lied? I hate that I envy, I hate that I feel this way. Sika was a great man. Sika was a great wrestler. Sika was a champion, Sika’s a Hall of Famer. And I love and respect the old-timers. And I hate the fact that I invoked your father’s name in vain. And I sincerely apologize to you.”

The fans are a bit torn over that, but now Punk steps into the ring, steps closer to Roman, and Punk says, “I hate that there’s more than one royal family in professional wrestling. And I hate that I envy the fact that I wasn’t born into a dynasty. I don’t know what having that kind of family is like. CM Punk was born in the backyards, avenues, and alleyways of Chicago. I was a misfit who had to find my own family, and I found my family in the streets of Sacramento.

“I found my family in the locker rooms of every VFW Hall or Knights of Columbus, or in dilapidated, burned out, Midwest barns, Fireside Bowl bowling alleys, abandoned churches. I found my family and my people on the indies, and I conquered the indies, and then I went to Japan. I went to England, I went to Puerto Rico, I went all around the world twice. I wasn’t handed anything, I wasn’t born on third base with a silver spoon. I busted my ass, and I made pro-wrestling my home, and I made them my family.” The fans cheer all that, too!

Punk says he hates that he feels this way, that he has to share any of it with Roman, especially the fact that it’s his first singles match headlining WrestleMania. Tell him when he’s telling lies. Punk says on April 19th, he has gold on his shoes, gold around his waist, and later that night, after the desert sun has set and the dry air gets cold with steam rising off his beat up, bloody face, he’ll have gold above his head. The ring announcer will be saying, “AND STILL Heavyweight Champion of the World,” with Las Vegas chanting, “C! M! PUNK!” The fans duel again while Roman starts to get anxious.

Punk says again, “Tell me when I’m telling lies.” Roman says that’s the truest stuff he’s ever heard Punk say. Until the end. Roman will tell Punk some truths. Roman hates Punk, too. Roman has hated Punk for a long time. But the main reason is because of Punk’s relationship with all the fans. Roman hopes he can get to the point where when he leaves, the fans all miss him as much as they missed Punk. That one day, when Roman leaves, they chant for Roman for ten years straight. That’s the truest thing Punk has, it’s the connection with the fans, and no one can ever take that from him.

But on Sunday, that is Punk’s truth, but it is not the reality. The reality is that time is up. Punk had two months and he did nothing with it! On Sunday, it ain’t #AndStill, it is #AndNEW! This nostalgia act experiment is done. On Sunday, they fix the mess Punk started. On Sunday, they make this place where they had it: at the very top, worth every single dollar! On Sunday, Tribal Chief takes over, and Punk will ACKNOWLEDGE HIM! Roman and Punk stare down while the fans chant for them both. Raw goes off the air, but who wins the most important match of all at WrestleMania?


My Thoughts:

A very good go-home episode of Raw, though it couldn’t quite escape the Go Home Syndrome. Very good promo from Roman to call out Punk, and a very good segment from them both to end the show, but they already maxed out the heat so there wasn’t much they could add. On the flipside, really good stuff with Vaquer’s interview promo turning into a brawl with Liv. They turned up the heat again, which I didn’t think was possible, and those two are gonna tear each other apart. Kudos to Cathy Kelley for taking that bump, too.

Rollins and Gunther had a good brawl that then turned into a promo that then turned back into a brawl, but I don’t know if it really explained why this was “personal.” Gunther might dislike Rollins being flamboyant and all, but this is still just to get the eventual match with Lesnar. Speaking of Lesnar, very good stuff with him, Heyman, and Oba Femi. Heyman does great on the mic as always, but Oba held his own, especially for only being in pro-wrestling for just a couple years. I would really hope Oba does win at Mania, especially with it opening WrestleMania Sunday, which they’re making sure to have air even on “ESPN proper,” the cable channel! The most eyes on that match possible, and WWE better make the right move.

Very good matches to send some people to Mania with momentum, though the Women’s Tag Division is missing some fire given Nikki Bella is still a game day decision. Charlotte VS Lyra was a very good match all the same, with Bayley cheating Charlotte back for what happened on Friday. No idea where the math lands on that, but that makes the Fatal 4 Way tag a lot of fun. Meanwhile, Rusev clearly go-home-mathed himself out of winning the Intercontinental title after he destroyed all five other men in that ladder match. To me, it’ll either be Rey Mysterio winning or Penta retaining, and we can have something just as fun for Backlash.

Very good interaction from Knight, Usos and MFT, though MFT showing up was literally just so they could do this Six Man Tag and have a team lose to Knight & Usos. Well, they did add to the MFT dysfunction so there is that. It might be a bit obvious, but someone is likely leaving MFT this Friday during that Street Fight. The obvious move is Tama being exiled, but I would love if Tama got his literal brothers, Talla & Loa, on his side to exile Solo. Good montage from IShowSpeed with Logan & Theory, but this is still wrestling tropes/cliche where Speed doesn’t just apologize and wash his hands of this. Either Speed should ditch Vision, or Vision ditches Speed.

We finally got some better stuff with Rhea and Jade, but that was only because it joined the Iyo-Kairi-Asuka triangle here on Raw. It’d be a little last minute, but #RheYo VS Kabuki Warriors could be a good go-home match on SmackDown to see how Rhea looks going into her match with Jade. The Iyo-Kairi-Asuka triangle can also continue with a proper build going towards Backlash.

My Score: 8.7/10

But the Babe with the Power doesn’t get to say much before KAMILLE attacks!! Mercedes Mone’s former enforcer is back and she’s throwing Willow into the garage door again and again and again!

Zero Hour – Alex Windsor VS Marina Shafir!

While Iron Will Windsor is NJPW Strong Women’s Champion, this fight ain’t about the gold!

Winner: Alex Windsor, by pinfall

Another victory for Windsor over Marina, and yet why is Marina still smiling? Does she just like fighting that much? As for Windsor, will Ospreay follow suit and get a win of his own tonight?

 

Zero Hour – Kamille VS Big Anne!

We just saw how this American Gladiator “answered” Willow Nightingale’s return challenge by cancelling tonight’s TBS Championship match! Will Kamille’s return turn into a rampage? Or will Big Anne get a big win in her AEW debut?

The Megasus tried with the Superbad Girl, she tried with The Problem, but it took finding the Aussie Amazon to make her a champion. And now, these two might be the most dominant, nigh unstoppable duo in all of AEW! Will they make another team #BowDown? Or will #ThatGirl & The Renaissance Woman shock the world to close out the Zero Hour?

The fans fire up as Maya ducks under, UP KICKS, then SOBATS and BOOTS! Lena just scowls, but Maya ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl RANA Lena to a corner! Maya UPPERCUTS, whips, but Lena reverses! Maya goes up, up, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Maya handsprings up and the fans cheer her on! Maya runs in and BACK BODY BLOCKS! Megan runs up but is sent into Lena! Maya BACK BODY BLOCKS again, then tags Hyan! Hyan tunes up, roars and runs around the world for a KNEE! Maya goes up, BLOCKBUSTER LEG SWEEP COMBO! Cover, TWO! Lena survives but Hyan coordinates with Maya.

Hyan tags Maya, they get Lena up again, and Maya runs, only for Lena to ELBOW Hyan, BOOT Maya, and HOOK KICK Hyan! Tag to Megan and she brings Maya up. Maya JAWBREAKERS, then she and Hyan double whip! Megan reverses, kicks Maya, and fireman’s carries Hyan! Maya jumps on but Megan just adds her to it! FALL AWAY SLAM SAMOAN DROP COMBO! The fire up again, and Megan LEAPING LARIATS! Cover, TWO! Tag to Lena and Divine Dominion get Maya up. But Hyan with the save! Lena ROCKS Hyan, Megan TOSSES Hyan aside, then they get Maya again!

Winners: The Divine Dominion, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions)

Hyan & Maya put up quite the fight, but they could not overcome these demigods! Will Megan & Lena always stand atop the mountain like true Olympians? Or will a team find the secret to dethroning the Divine Dominion?

 

The truest, most basic battle has always been between right and wrong.

Two sides of a coin decide an entire future. But which side dictates righteousness? Is it a soldier of fortune? Or a soldier of ambition? A toxic entity? Or justified aggressor?

FTR is there for SHATTER MACHINE!! Cover, but Christian hurries to SHOVE Stoke into the ring! And just enough that Stoke bumps into Dax! The fans cheer as Dax now gets upset with Stoke! The fans tell Stoke he done messed up, but Stoke says the ref is to blame for not watching Christian! Stoke shoves the ref, the ref SHOVES Stoke! And he SMACKS Dax! COPE SPEARS DAX!! Cover, Cash CLOBBERS Cope! And then PILEDRIVER!!

The ref reprimands but Cash bails out. Now Cash grabs a chair and brings it over! But Christian snatches that, too! Cash wants Christian to show mercy, but then Stoke grabs the chair?! Christian SHOVES Stoke into the post, but then Cash POSTS Christian! Cash TOSSES Christian into the timekeeper’s area! Cash calls to Dax, they regroup, and they have Cope all to themselves! The fans cheer Cope on, and Cope stands up to throw hands! The fans fire up as Cope fights 2v1, but then he slows down! Dax kicks low, then he and Cash fire SUPERKICK after SUPERKICK, taunting The Young Bucks, too! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS!

FTR drags Cope up, F T R TRIGGER misses! Cope then runs to DOUBLE SPEAR!! The fans are thunderous as everyone is down! Stokely is losing his mind over this, but he coaches FTR to get back in this. Cope goes to a corner, he rises up again, and the fans cheer him on! Cope runs up, but Cash sunset flips the spear! Cope rolls through, but stands up into SHATTER MACHINE!! Cover, FTR WINS!

Winners: FTR, by pinfall (still AEW World Tag Team Champions)

Stokely cheers as FTR foil the revenge of Cope & Christian! Cash almost mockingly thanks Cope for this match, then he flips off Vancouver. If FTR found a way to overcome C&C, will anyone in AEW ever dethrone them? Or will FTR be the Top Guys then, now, and forever?

 

Willow Nightingale speaks.

“Kamille, if you wanted a title shot, if you wanted a fight, all you had to do was ask. Because as so many other girls have already learned, if you wanna make a comeback at my expense, it’s not as easy as just blindsiding me. I will kill your comeback before it even gets out of the gate. I may not be 100%, but I will be clear this Wednesday. So if you wanna hop on the welcome wagon, Miss American Gladiator, I’ll see you at Spring Break Thru!” The Babe with the Power is going to get her payback, but will she keep her title? Or will there be a new Face of TBS?

 

Vacant TNT Championship Casino Gauntlet!

One man’s misfortune is going to be another man’s gain! The Psycho Killer and El Toro Blanco will start us off, but will it end before anyone else can join in? Or will a wild card take the jackpot and become the new Face of TNT?
