PLAY BY PLAY
Ava Raine is in the ring.
The NXT General Manager is here, and she already has Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, Jordynne Grace, Kelani Jordan & Kendal Grey with her. “Ladies, you all have the honor of being handpicked by the Greatest Of All Time, John Cena, to compete in this year’s Iron Survivor Challenge. One of you will walk out of Deadline as the new #1 Contender to the NXT Women’s Championship.” The fans applaud, and Ava says a win on Saturday could change the path of their careers forever. Ladies, the floor is all yours. Sol starts by thanking Ava, and saying last week, Ethan Page gave her some unsolicited advice. But he did say that Sol is a world champion caliber talent. The fans cheer that!
Now, normally Sol doesn’t care what comes out of that man’s mouth. But if Ethan Page can see her that way, then it’s about damn time she sees herself that way, too. The fans cheer that! Sol says this past year has been a roller coaster for her. She’s had her highs, and she’s definitely had her lows. She went from being a double champion with her best friend by her side, to standing here empty handed. Now, her life has been a little strange, a little rough, a little complicated, but honestly, there’s a pretty simple path for her to gain her peace back. That is to win at Deadline, and walking into New Year’s Evil to become the NXT Women’s Champion!
The fans applaud again but Jordynne Grace speaks up. “That’s a nice thought, Sol, but take it from someone with experience. The path is never that simple. I’ve come this close too many times to lose again. I’m ready to run through a brick wall to win that title, and there is not a woman in this ring who can stop me.” She and Kelani start snapping at each other, but Lola steps up next. “Jordynne, callete la boca.” The fans cheer that! “You’re not the only one that’s been grinding here, mama. John Cena chose all of us for a reason, pero he picked me because no matter how many times I’ve gotten screwed, I still believe in myself.” The fans also cheer that.
Lola says from NXT to AAA, Vice City is everywhere! And if not for Lainey Reid, Lola would be champion right now! Kendal says, “Look, look, look. Maybe that’s true. But right now, the only champion in here is me.” The fans also cheer that! Kendal says she knows she’s the underdog, but she always rises to the level of her competition. And she also knows that this will be one of the toughest challenges for her, but she’s built on big moment! Kelani already tells Kendal to shut up! The fans boo but Kelani says sure, Kendal is Evolve Women’s Champion, and that’s great. But now she’s swimming with sharks and there’s blood in the water.
Kelani asks Lola and Jordynne, “How many failed attempts is it gonna take for you to realize that you’ll never be good enough for the Women’s title? So no one cares about your excuses because they’re not valid. This is the Iron Survivor Challenge, and there’s no match like it. This match is electrifying, dynamic, innovative. Ironically, all words to describe Kelani Jordan.” The fans boo as Kelani says she realizes there are only two people here who have done this before, and it’s her and Sol. But Sol’s knee is all jacked up, and she won’t even have her bestie by her side.
So all you can come out here, talk a big game, but guess what? At Deadline, Kelani walks out the #1 contender. They’re all stand-ins, and she’s the Standout! The fans tell Kelani off, she demands some respect, but here comes the Fatal Influence! Jacy Jayne mockingly applauds and says, “Wow. I just wanted to come out here and say just how excited I am! Really, I can’t wait to be at Deadline to see who the lucky loser at New Year’s Evil is gonna be. Because now that the NXT Women’s Championship is back around my beautiful, itty-bitty, two-inch waist, all order has been restored in NXT. Which brings me to my next question.
“In what world do you think I’m gonna let any of you losers ruin that for me?! Let’s look at the playing field, shall we? Sol Ruca! Poor Sol, with her broken heart and her bum leg. And then we have, oh! The new flavor of the week, Kendal Grey! Who is clearly way in over her head. And then oh, wow, I can always run it back with Jordynne and Lola, only for it to feel like deja vu when you both, cough cough, choke once again. Oh, and there’s Kelani! Hey girl~! How you doin’? Yeah, I know, I don’t like her either. But y’know what, Kelani? I’m glad that you’re finally showing some spine. But you’re talking a little too confident for someone who just lost her title in New York City, so shh.”
Kelani tells Jacy that she’d still be champion if not for “this meat head.” Grace says say that to her face. Kelani pie faces her instead! Grace TACKLES Kelani! The others are stunned, but then the Influence rushes the ring! They brawl with Sol, Lola & Kendal and the fans fire up! Sol TOSSES Lainey, Kendal SUPERKICKS Fallon, and Lola SOBATS Jacy outta the ring! The Influence regroups, will Jacy’s newest reign be short lived with this many top stars aiming for her?
Thea Hail & Joe Hendry talk backstage.
Thea loved seeing John Cena say he believed in Joe Hendry, and even did the spin! Not as good, but still. Joe says yes, this year has been full of career highlights, and to have the Greatest Of All Time pick him to be in the Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge is up there. But tonight, he has the 8 Man Tag with Dark State. Stacks & Arianna walk by, laughing and giggling while arm in arm. Thea asks what’s so funny. Arianna says no, but she and Stacks still laugh and he whispers more jokes. Arianna says stop, they’re right there. Joe asks sorry, should they leave? Arianna says honestly, yes, Joe should leave. Leave Thea behind, that is!
Joe chose the wrong partner for Gold Rush, and Thea let him down. Wow, dude, she’s right here. Arianna says Chelsea Green & Ethan Page should’ve faced a real power couple. Like Arianna & Stacks! Thea tells Hendry to let her handle this. Thea steps up and tells Stacks & Arianna that, “This is disgusting. If Joe Hendry believes in me, then I believe I can kick your ass tonight!” Arianna mocks Thea, Thea mocks her back, and Stacks says Arianna will be kicking Thea’s ass! Stacks ushers Arianna away, and Thea says it seems they’re both wrestling tonight. Will doubters and haters become believers soon enough?
Ava walks ‘n’ talks with security.
The GM says it is clear everyone is a bit “stressed” before Deadline, so she needs them to make sure Kelani and Jordynne stay as far away from each other as possible. Thank you. Then she turns the corner to talk with Fatal Influence. They are not going anywhere. Uh, actually, they are, so goodbye. Um, no, they’re not. Last week, they interfered in the Speed title match and the Evolve title match, and then they interfered in tonight’s summit. So these three now have a Six Woman Tag against Sol, Lola & Kendal. If Ava were them, she’d get ready right about now. Ava heads out, The Influence is upset, but are they finally getting what they deserve?
Thea Hail w/ Joe Hendry VS Arianna Grace w/ Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo!
NXT returns and the Pageant Queen makes her entrance, her man right by her side. He tells her to go knock Thea out! The bell rings and the fans are all behind Thea. Thea and Arianna argue, Arianna pokes Thea in the forehead, so Thea pokes Arianna back! Arianna snarls, they tie up, and Thea headlocks. Arianna powers up, powers through, and headlocks for the takeover. Then she shifts to an armlock. Arianna mocks Thea, but the fans rally up. Thea rises, Arianna wrenches, but Thea spins and slips through to arm-drag! The fans cheer, Thea mocks Arianna with a dance, and Stacks slips in under Arianna to tell her to knock it off!
Thea runs up on Stacks but he slips away, Arianna dodges, and Arianna throat chops! Then she CLUBS away on Thea’s neck! The fans boo but Arianna hits a NECKBREAKER! Arianna snarls while the fans chant “We Believe! We Believe!” Arianna whips Thea to the corner, runs up, and LARIATS! The fans boo but Arianna taunts Thea and Hendry. Arianna mocks the spin! Arianna turns Thea, but Thea backslides it, TWO! Arianna runs up, Thea rolls her up, TWO! Arianna ROCKS Thea, Thea goes to ropes, and Arianna runs up! Thea TOSSE her out! Stacks is there to make sure Arianna is safe, but then Thea DIVES! Down goes Arianna!
The fans fire up and Thea gets Arianna back int he ring! Thea and Stacks argue, then Thea slides in. Thea runs up to ELBOW Arianna, t hen EXPLODER! Basement DROPKICK!

Winner: Thea Hail, by submission
Arianna cries as she crawls away to her Channy, but Thea is all fired up with this rebound win! Will Thea be unstoppable now that she has belief in herself?
OTM walked ‘n’ talked earlier this week.
Bronco Nima & Lucien Price were feeling good about things, but whoa! The Chase U students almost hit them with their car! They don’t know how to do much of anything in their Tesla, but Mr. Chase walks over. Chase says they didn’t mean anything by it, but Price says this is twice now. Nima says those boys were pullin’ up on OTM. If it’s strike three, they won’t be having this conversation, got it? It’s on sight! Chase says he’ll talk with them. Chase tells them to turn the car off. Did they hear what OTM said? Next time they see y’all, it’s on sight. Chase doesn’t really get what that means, but he knows OTM is pissed off. Are Kale & Uriah really this effin’ stupid!?
Kale & Uriah try to explain but Chase tells ’em to just shut up. And why are Kale’s shoes off? Will Chase U Class of 2025 ever get it right?
Ava meets with Je’Von Evans, Leon Slater, Myles Borne & Joe Hendry.
The Young OG lets Hendry & the NXT GM know that they were talking over how they gonna beat goofy ass DarkState tonight! Leon says they can’t let DarkState do ’em like they’ve been doing. Myles says he hasn’t had quite as many run-ins with them as the others, but if not for the others last week, it would’ve been really bad. Ava agrees, but then in steps Robert Stone. He apologizes for the interruption, but it seems a package came for Ava. And he opened her mail? No, it came like that… Ava says she’ll look at it later, because she needs Stone to make sure everything for the NXT Championship contract signing is set. Stone is on it, and he heads back out.
Ava then tells this team that it’s time to raise the stakes on their 8 Man Tag. Whoever scores the win tonight chooses their spot in the Iron Survivor Challenge. Ooh~! They like that! But then that means DarkState also gets to choose for Dion, so good luck out there. Je’Von says no worries about that. Now, what’s in the box? No, shoo. The team heads out, will they be able to win and control their own fate? And speaking of the box, Ava opens it up and dumps out… Black rose petals? Who is trying to send a message to our GM?
Tavion Heights VS Josh Briggs!
The Olympian wants to reach that next level, but the Bullhead Brawler keeps acting like a roadblock. They brawled it out in New York City, now they’ll have it out in Orlando! Will Tavion reach those new heights at Briggs’ expense? Or will it be nothing but mayhem tonight?

Briggs soaks up all the heat, and gets in the face of the fans booing him! Briggs may not have honor, but will he have a golden opportunity waiting for him on the other side of Deadline?
The Culling is here.
Izzi Dame leads the way for Shawn Spears & Niko Vance, but the fans all boo since they betrayed Tatum Paxley back in New York City. The It Girl takes the mic, and she says, “Y’know what? Looking around here, I get it. I get why all of you love Tatum so much, you’re just like her: None of you know how to be alone. I gave Tatum everything. Let me ask, how many chances is too many? Like, at what point does someone become so hopeless, so pathetic, that you just have to stop trying to save them? For two weeks now, all I have heard is, ‘Why, Izzi? Why would you betray Tatum? How could you betray Tatum? I thought you guys were best friends!’
“I didn’t betray Tatum. I corrected a mistake. A mistake I made the second I thought Tatum could ever stand beside me as an equal. What? Did she really think that my guidance was some sort of suggestion? Like she had any right to ignore the very person that dug her out of the hellhole she was in for so long? When all of you ignored Tatum, while she was only known as, ‘that little weirdo freak,’ I carved purpose into her. I gave her a voice! I gave her confidence! I cared about her! And what’d she do? She continued to trip over the same insecurities that I tried to rip out of her over and over. She was so selfish! So stubborn!”
The fans chant, “We Want Tatum!” but Izzi says she feels very passionately about this: Tatum felt like everything The Culling gave her just wasn’t good enough! So she’ll ask us now: Do you all really think that it’s a coincidence that only after Izzi took Tatum under her wing that Tatum became champion? Do they all really believe she could’ve done that on her own? Tatum can barely stand on her own two feet, let alone lead this Women’s Division by herself! Tatum only became NXT Women’s Champion because I allowed her to! And at Gold Rush, I showed that everything I give, I can easily take, and I did! I took everything from her, because that is what she owed me!”
The fans continue to cheer for Tatum but Izzi says she’s the one who made Tatum’s name worth chanting! And what’d she do? She ignored Izzi! Newsflash: When you stand by Izzi, you don’t get to ignore her! This Saturday at Deadline, it will be Izzi VS Tatum 1v1! The fans do like that, but Izzi says, “I plan on finishing what I started in New York. Tatum… I have one final lesson for you. In San Antonio, I end the version of you that refused to evolve. And whatever I have to do to make sure that happens, it won’t be out of spite, it won’t be out of anger…” But then Tatum is on the tron!
“Here I am, Izzi. In our family’s favorite spot. But I’m alone. Why? Why did you take what was steady in my life and tear it apart? We were great together. And you took the one thing that I wanted the most.” Izzi stops Tatum there and says that she gave Tatum the world, and Tatum rejected it! It is funny, the irony, Tatum rejecting Izzi. And now look at Tatum. So pathetic, and so predictable. If Tatum is that upset, why not bring your ass out here and do something about it? Or is Tatum too scared? C’mon out. Tatum says yes, she’s scared. She’s scared because she doesn’t know what she’ll become without Izzi’s hand on her shoulder.
Tatum is scared… Because at Deadline, she’ll have to make Izzi feel all of her pain. Tatum steps out from the Culling clubhouse, and Tatum is ready for revenge. Will Deadline be the end of someone’s career?
Wren Sinclair talks with Kendal, Lola & Sol.
They’re all ready for that Six Woman Tag, but then in steps Zaria. Sol says hey, she’s been meaning to talk with her. Sol is so sorry she wasn’t out there for Zaria’s match with Fallon. She was just upset and processing all that happened against Blake Monroe. She’s sorry. Well, Sol seems to be moving on just fine now. Sol says not fair, dude. John Cena picked her- No, that’s fine! Sol can do her own thing. But since Sol didn’t appreciate Zaria being in her corner at Gold Rush, don’t expect her out there tonight. Lola says not to get in the middle of this, but their match is up next. Vamos! Kendal says she’s got Sol out there, and Wren says that means she’s also got Sol out there.
Wren knows she’s not scary like Zaria, but she’s so supportive. It’s kinda her thing. Zaria is being scary like Wren said, and Wren has Kendal hurry on out. Sol again apologizes, then follows the others out. Will the Iron Survivor Challengers be able to humble Jacy, Fallon & Lainey? Or will they all end up under The Influence?
Six Woman Tag: The Fatal Influence VS Sol Ruca, Lola Vice & Kendal Grey!
NXT returns with the Influence already in the ring as the Evolve Women’s Champion makes her entrance. She’s followed by Vice City, leaving the Soul Surfer for last.

NXT Anonymous is watching…
Je’Von says he has to get the W so he can decide where he starts in Iron Survivor. Just last year, he was three seconds from the win. This year, that won’t happen. Now, he hopes he isn’t saying anything weird. Ricky Saints is there and says no, not at all! Je’Von is totally gonna win. Plus, Oba Femi isn’t in Iron Survivor this time. Oh, is that a roast? Saints is just saying. Je’Von says in that case, Oba’s only not in the match cuz he’ll be too busy whooping Ricky’s ass. Oh, okay, right to the jugular. But hey, Saints beat Oba once, he can beat him again, and that’s two more times than Je’Von has. Je’Von says c’mon, bro, stop.
Je’Von says remember back to Heatwave, when Saints stepped over Je’Von just to get to Oba. Saints says it’s all good now, right? Yeah, they’re good. But Je’Von also brings up how Saints said Je’Von had time, he’d be champion one day. You know how Je’Von feels about that. Yeah, he knows, but Saint sis right: Je’Von is a future champion. Where’s the lie? That’s a good point. But Je’Von is on a roll! He was in AAA, he went toe-to-toe with Gunther at MSG! And guess who texted you first? Yeah, it was Saints. Je’Von appreciates that. Saints says that is why Je’Von is the favorite to win the Iron Survivor this year.
And then, at New Year’s Evil, we’ll see what happens. Je’Von says yeah, we’ll see, if they both handle business on Saturday. Je’Von says Saints has time to be in MSG one day. Now, Je’Von is gonna go get ready. See ya lady, my boi~! Je’Von heads out, but will these two be able to keep it friendly in the off chance they do meet at New Year’s Evil?
DarkState talks backstage.
Dion Lennox holds his NXT Tag Team Championship as he says, “I know what I said last week, about how I wanted to bring some singles gold to DarkState. But it wouldn’t be fair to y’all if I wasn’t all in on these tag titles. So I feel like I gotta give this to one of y’all.” Cutler James says right away that Saquon Shugars should take it. Saquon says nah, bruh, it’s all Cutty. Cutler makes Saquon take the belt and tells him to hold it down. Osiris says that’s what he’s talkin’ ’bout! Freebird Rule and all, Osiris says different partner, same domination. Oba Femi then walks past and Saquon imitates the accent: “The Ruler has arrived!”
Saquon laughs at his own joke, but Oba ignores it. Oba tells Dion that he made it to the Iron Survivor. Oh, Oba doesn’t even remember when they were in this spot last time, huh? Them, face to face, and Oba just brushed him off like he was never gonna be championship material. Clearly, Cena thinks otherwise. Two-time tag team champion, and look at him now. And after Saturday, Dion hopes Oba’s the one that he gets for New Year’s Evil. Because there is nothing Dion would love more than to snatch the gold and knock Oba’s teeth down his mouth! Oba says Dion has come a long way, but he shouldn’t get ahead of himself.
Dion says he ain’t ahead of himself, he’s right where he needs to be. Oba says yes, Dion is. Dion says Oba better watch tonight’s main event, because it will be a peak into what the future holds for The Ruler. DarkState heads out, will their revolution begin with the New Year?
OTM VS Chase U!
Bronco Nima & Lucien Price did say it’d be “on sight,” and it seems Kale Dixon & Uriah Connors will learn what that means first hand. Will Mr. Chase’s new students survive through the first semester? Or will they fail to get out the mud?
NXT returns and Chase U makes their entrance. Mr. Chase wants to make sure they’re ready, and Kale goes on and on about how the game plan is “right here,” pointing to his own hand. Uriah points to his head, claiming it is all memorized and locked in. The teams sort out, but Chase U attacks from behind! Kale DUMPS Nima, Price SHOVES Uriah, then Price runs up, only for Uriah to DUMP him out! Nima runs back in, but Chase U DOUBLE LARIAT him up and out! Then they both DIVE! Down goes OTM and the fans fire up with Chase U! They put Price in the ring, Uriah climbs up, and Uriah SWANTON BOMBS! Cover, TWO!
Uriah hurries to facelock Price, but he RAMS Uriah into the corner! Price snarls, but Uriah BOOTS him away! Uriah runs up, Price catches him for an inverted headlock takeover, and a CHOP! Uriah sputters, Price tags Nima, and Nima fires body shots on Uriah. Nima stomps Uriah, tags Price, but Uriah fires hands! Price BODY BLOWS in return! Then CHOPS! Tag back to Nima, Nima stands Uriah up, and ROCKS him with a right! Tag back to Price, Nima sends him in, but Uriah dodge! And dodges again! Hot tag to Kale! Kale fires hands on Price, then BLASTS Nima! Price whips Kale, Kale ducks ‘n’ dodges to KNEE Nima down!

Tag to Nima, they get Kale up, and Nima sends Price in! SPLASH! feed to Nima’s JUMP STOMP! Cover, but Nima lets off? Nima ROCKS Kale, tags Price, and they double whip Kale to then POP-UP, and Price catches Kale! No small feat, and then Nima kneels, POWER GUT BUSTER! Cover, TWO?!? Kale survives but Price tells him he’ll pay for that! Price ROCKS Kale, tags Nima, and Price runs up. Kale BOOTS Price, dodges Nima, then swings on Price! Price gets under, pop-up- CODE BREAKER from Kale!
Price staggers, Nima rushes in, but Kale hot tags Uriah! Uriah blows past Nima, BOOTS Price, then dodges Nima to GAMANGIRI! Uriah goes up, leaps over Nima, but Nima gets him on the return! Whip and- ROUNDHOUSE from Uriah! Uriah springboards, but Nima catches him! Nima TOSSES Uriah out, blocks a boot, and spins Uriah, only for Uriah to PELE through it! Uriah steps in, TORNADO DDT! Cover, Price breaks it! Kale rushes back in but Price whips him! Kale ducks ‘n’ dodges to KICK, KICK, and then Chase U DOUBLE SUPERKICK! Nima is up, Uriah ripcords him for Kale’s BOOT!
Uriah springboards, STUNNER!! OTM regroups on the outside, Chase U goes to the corners! They aim, CRISSCROSS APPLE- NO, OTM catches them both! SMASH SANDWICH! They put Uriah in, Nima tags Price, and OTM hits Uriah with the PAID IN FULL! Cover, OTM wins!
Winners: OTM, by pinfall
Chase U put up an amazing fight, they clearly studied up, but they still couldn’t ace the test! Will no one but OTM run this division?
Ava follows Ethan Page to the parking lot.
She asks where the NXT North American Champion is going, and All Ego says this is his car, so that means he is leaving. Clearly, his services are not needed here tonight as Ava and the team are doing a bang-up job putting together Deadline. Actually, he would like to formally thank John Cena for helping the less fortunate talent have this opportunity this Saturday. But more importantly, he gave Ethan the night off! A much deserved one at that, as Ethan is the hardest working champion in WWE, and a double champion! Ava says that’s right, he is double champion.
But uh, the North American Championship hasn’t been defended since Halloween Havoc. Ava feels Ethan’s due a defense! Ethan sighs and says he is the best wrestler in the WWE, Ava, so no one here even wants to face him. No, she found someone who does. LA YESCA peeks out from the backseat! Ethan freaks out, gets out of his car, and says this is a setup! Mr. Iguana hops into the front seat and tells Ethan see ya later! He drives off with Ethan’s car! Ethan asks, “Are you not gonna call the cops?!” Ava asks what would she even say? A reptile stole a car? YES! All Ego chases Iguana into the night, but will we soon have a NEW Greatest North American Champion Ever?
“Yo, Shiloh Hill here.”
And he has another “download” for us. This past week was Thanksgiving, and he had an awesome one. He got to try raccoon for the first time. Kinda greasy. He remembers one Thanksgiving, he was 8 years old, the fog was rolling in so the family snowmobiled through the woods to visit Shiloh’s cousins. Shiloh wanted his snowmobile to go faster so he put in some higher grade caps and upgraded the exhaust, all basic stuff. But about 100 miles into the trip, he got way ahead of everyone, they didn’t realize he was making it a race, so he just extended the lead, until he crashed. At this point, he’s miles into the woods, it’s cold, he has no cell service.
So he really thought he was gonna freeze to death. But then he went into survival mode, breaking up branches, gathering pine needles, covering himself in anything he could to stay insulated and warm. He became one with the earth for a night. He knew in situations like that, you’re not supposed to go to sleep, so he tried his best. It was easy to stay awake, though, because he felt so alive. Especially when he heard the wolves howling at the moon. Can you imagine if he’d gotten eaten by wolves or something? That’d be insane! He never would’ve been on LFG or part of Team Taker. Having Taker as a coach was so… Tough.
Taker would tell Shiloh to be aggressive. When you get in that ring, reach into their chest and rip out their souls! That got Shiloh so fired up! He was so happy to have a coach he could connect with. Taker knew what resonated with him, he knew Shiloh would feel that itch crawling in his skin, and that he should let it out! “RAAAH! WAKE UP!! Bro, that feels so good! That adrenaline, that dopamine, those endorphins. That’s good stuff. Anyways, I’ll be back soon to finish up. I gotta find my bleach.” Shiloh logs off, will he unleash the wild side on NXT soon enough?

Dion Lennox showed his dedication to the mission of bringing gold to the group by Freebirding the tag title to Saquon Shugars, and now they’re all ready to ensure he chooses his spot in the Iron Survivor Challenge!

The team worked together so well, but it was about who got the last word in here. Myles says it’s all fair in love and war, right? But who will have everything they could ever want and more this Saturday at Deadline?
Ava Raine sits down with Oba Femi and Ricky Saints.
“Gentlemen, it’s been quite a journey to get here, but here is your official contract for your NXT Championship match at Deadline.” Ava sets it down, and Oba says Ricky must understand that the version of him that was beaten at No Mercy was a man burdened by the toils of a long title reign. Oba signs his part, then says, “But this version is going to destroy you and remind you that you’re only a footnote in my legacy as The Ruler of NXT, and all of WWE.” Ricky Saints counters with, “One question that goes through my mind is, ‘What happens to me if I don’t beat you? Am I the man that I think that I am?’ Guess we’ll never know.
“There’s no more fairytale, I am the NXT Champion! And you can beat every and any man that steps into the ring with you, but guess what? There’s an exception to the rule and The Ruler, and his name is Absolute Ricky Saints.” Ricky signs his part, and Ava thanks them both. She wants to let them know, for the first time in NXT PLE history, the Men’s Championship will OPEN the show! Ricky says, “Perfect.” With even less time to prepare, who will prove they are THE face of NXT?
My Thoughts:
A very good episode as the go-home to Deadline, with just a pinch of filler to help give some other superstars something to do. OTM having that interaction with Chase U in the parking lot feels like they could’ve waited a week for a match, but we got great stuff out of them honestly. But OTM gets the win here, they need to really get going again in the tag division and not just fill out Evolve. Speaking of Evolve, why’re we not getting developments with Stevie Turner being released? Why’re we instead building some new mystery where someone sent Ava black rose petals? (Or were they chunks of coal? They did not do a good job capturing those on camera.)
Very fun promo from Thea & Hendry with Arianna & Stacks. Very good match and a solid win for Thea, maybe she goes for the Women’s North American Championship after this since Blake has clearly moved on from ZaRuca. That could be a very good build, Blake cutting promos on “grown ass” yet very tiny Thea but Thea showing she can go crazy just like Blake. Great match from Tavion VS Briggs, and that was perhaps the wildest barrier break spot NXT’s done in a minute. Briggs getting the win makes him even with Tavion from a previous showdown, so they can certainly give us a great tiebreaker match.
Ethan Page had a very good promo with Ava and Mr. Iguana to set up this last minute North American Championship match, but that’ll be a very fun match. I don’t see Iguana winning, but he’ll put up a great showing. Very good promo from Izzi and Tatum to set up their own match, and I will say Izzi again used classic Heel hypocrisy to frame this situation like Tatum’s in the wrong. With that, I hope Tatum wins out, but she might not win Saturday because Shawn Spears & Niko Vance will surely interfere.
Very good “summit” promo, and while Kelani could still sharpen her delivery, she sure gets the fans to boo her and what not so she’s doing well as a Heel. She and Jordynne Grace clearly have more to feud over, that’s why they split off from the rest while the Fatal Influence brawled with Sol, Lola & Kendal. Great promos to follow to set up that great Six Woman Tag match. Sol getting the win probably jinxes her chances at Deadline, but I feel like the classic rule of “pin the champ, get a title shot” should give her the #2 contender spot, aka she challenges the winner from New Year’s Evil. The real intrigue was Zaria running in. Did she mean to hit Kendal? Did she mean to hit Sol? All of the above? Maybe ZaRuca breaks up with more interference at Deadline.
And then great stuff with the Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge and Men’s Championship scene. Very good NXT Anonymous promo from Je’Von and Saints hyping up a possible match, and very good promo from DarkState to transfer the tag title through Freebird Rule. Great 8 Man Tag main event, and I almost thought DarkState was gonna win it. But the Faces one-upping each other even as they won was good stuff. Myles probably jinxes himself winning, though it is interesting to see what spot he chooses. And while Hendry and Dion kept themselves out of the equation, it really does feel more like Je’Von’s time to win. Saints VS Oba opening Deadline is a nice twist, that also indicates just about anything happening there, can’t wait to see it.
My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Robert Stone talks with Shawn Michaels & Matt Bloom.
The NXT General Manager is with the heads of NXT management and wants to get right to the point. Ethan Page, Joe Hendry, Fatal Influence, Sol Ruca, Blake Monroe, and even Ricky Saints, all called up to Raw and SmackDown to make an impact there. Those are big shoes to fill, though, and Stone’s phone has been blowing up from all the talent. But he thinks it is time for some fresh faces, maybe even from Evolve and LFG. Bloom says they have a great crop of international talent looking for their chance. HBK says they’ve done what NXT does, they’ve been through this before many times. Now, Stone can put names on cards, put pictures on the board, and continue to take calls.
Or… He can throw a stick of dynamite into the locker rooms and see who runs out. Stone likes that bold approach. Things are about to change drastically, but who will show up while the others blow up?
NXT North American Championship: Myles Borne VS Saquon Shugars w/ DarkState!
Speaking of, we just saw Myles overcome a member of DarkState when he defeated Dion Lennox, but admittedly, The Sugar Man muddied the waters on that. But will it be clear that Myles will #NeverBreak? Or can Saquon redeem himself by taking this title for himself?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if nobody’s safe!
The bell rings and Saquon runs up! Myles dodges then fires hands! The fans rally for Myles as he UPPERCUTS again and again! Saquon flounders, but then he YANKS Myles!

Then a wrench and hook, but Saquon hooks the ropes! Saquon turns things around on Myles to backslide him onto ropes! A unique hotshot to say the least, and then Saquon goes up, out, around, and he YANKS Myles into the crossbar!
The fans boo but Saquon skins the cat. Myles sputters, Saquon WRECKS him with a dropkick! Saquon wants after Myles but the ref backs him off! Saquon says screw that, and he goes up onto the desk! Saquon soaks up the heat while NXT goes picture in picture.
The ref checks Myles as he sputters, that crossbar he hit was exposed steel! Saquon still stands Myles up to SMACK him off the desk! Saquon drags Myles up and puts him in the ring for a KNEE DROP! Myles coughs and sputters again, but Saquon lines up another KNEE DROP! Saquon stalks Myles, brings him around, and JUMPING KNEE DROPS! Cover, TWO! Myles toughs it out but Saquon stays focused. Saquon drags Myles up, kicks him to a corner, then stomps a mudhole into him! The ref counts, Saquon stops at 4, and Myles sputters as he leans against the ropes. Saquon storms up but Myles fires body shots!
Saquon CLUBS Myles , turns him, but Myles turns neckbreaker into O’Conner Roll! TWO, and Saquon has the legs to drag Myles under the ropes! ROPE GUILLOTINE! Myles again sputters and coughs while Saquon looms over him. Saquond rags Myles to a cover, TWO! Myles tough sit out but Saquon clamps on with a chinlock. Myles endures, fights around, but Saquon KNEES him in the back! Myles goes to the apron, Saquon storms up, and Saquon ROCKS Myles with a right! Saquon turns Myles around, CLUBS away on his chest, then stops as the ref counts. Myles RAMS into Saquon, and NXT returns to single picture as Myles slingshots to sunset flip!
The fans rally and even duel as Saquon flails to stay up! Saquon breaks free, but Myles avoids the knee drop! Saquon hurries to headlock but Myles powers up, out, then drops down.

Myles swings on him but Dion gets back. Saquon clinches, EXPLODING NORTHERN LIGHTS!
Saquon rolls through to basement DROPKICK! Myles tumbles out, but DarkState argues with the ref? Saquon isn’t sure why, but that’s because Dion has a chair! Saquon shouts at him, “What’re you doing?! I’m trying to win!” The ref spots them both with the chair, and then Myles SHOVES Saquon into Dion! Then BACKDROP for Saquon! Myles SHOVES Dion into the steel steps! Myles slingshots for a BORNE AGAIN!! Cover, Myles wins!
Winner: Myles Borne, by pinfall (still NXT North American Champion)
Just as Saquon tried last week, Dion tried to put the fix in, and it all backfires! What is it going to take for DarkState to get back on the same page? As for Myles, Evolve’s Tristan Angels is here! And he tells Myles congratulations on another successful defense. It truly is very impressive. Now, if you’d allow him to introduce himself, he is Mr. England, Tristan Angels! The fans boo but he tells them, “Order, order! Do not let my good looks have you fooled. For I am here today as a courtesy to let you and all these people know that you will be seeing much, much more of Tristan Angels on NXT from here on out!”
Angels lives- OH NO, KAM HENDRIX ATTACKS! The fans boo as Kam gives Myles the KAMERA SHOT! Kam says he is about that action! NXT is now HIS show, because it’s showtime! Well, the opening left by the call-ups is already being filled, but who will prove they’re not just ready to Evolve, but to reign?
Wren Sinclair & Kendal Grey talk backstage.
The Women’s Speed Champion says first it was Kali Armstrong and Lizzy Rain, and now there’s Tristan Angels and Kam Hendrix! It’s all happening so fast! Kendal says yeah, but good thing for Wren is she’s built for Speed, right? Incoming new talents and she’s no longer the new kid on the block anymore. Kelani Jordan walks in and Kendal asks if she’s good. No, she’s not good. She’s staring at someone who got a two-part Chronicle when she doesn’t deserve it, and someone who has had multiple shots at THE NXT Women’s Championship when Lani hasn’t even gotten one! Not to mention, LANI tapped out Lola Vice, something not even Kendal could do. Lani is the one to beat!
Kendal asks about what happened when she faced Lola again. Oh, that’s right! Lani’s ass got knocked out in the Underground! Even though Kendal didn’t win at Stand & Deliver, she also didn’t get pinned, so she deserves her shot at Lola. Lani sighs and says oh, Wren, clueless as always. They both need to realize there are no such things as friends in NXT! Kendal will turn on Wren just like Charlie did. Oh? How about instead of worrying about the NXT Women’s Champion, you worry about this women’s champion? Lani says okay, they can face off, and Wren doesn’t even have to put up the title. Lani will settle for embarrassing Wren in front of Kendal, who better be ringside to watch.
Lani leaves, Kendal says Lani is just crazy. But will the Standout stand tall over Wren as she aims for Lola?
Tony D’Angelo is here!
The fans cheer as THE NXT Champion makes his way to the ring, stoic and stone faced as usual. He already has a mic to say, “Now the more this place changes, the more it stays the same. And there’s only one thing that’s for certain in NXT, and that’s competitors, they come and go. But ever since I got into this building, I have been the constant. And now that I have this title, there isn’t a man on this roster who is tough enough to kick me off of this mountain!” The fans cheer for that, and Tony says that includes whoever sent him the little box last week. Some fans already ask, “What’s in the box~?!”
Tony says there are competitors from LFG and Evolve jumping Myles Borne, European talents stepping up, Keanu Carver side-eyeing him, but Tony’s more curious about that box. Now Tony ain’t stupid, he knows that wasn’t a gift. That was a warning. Wait! The lights go out! Then a blacklight turns out, and from the stage, a man in a hooded jacket walks down the ramp. The man steps into the ring, and the fans chant “EVIL! EVIL!” The man hands Tony a scroll, then reveals, it IS the former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, Evil! The scroll is actually a shirt, and on it is simply the kanji for war. Evil has made his declaration, but when and where will these two battle?
But wait, someone else is trying a sneak attack! Tony is quick to dodge, but then that man clinches and BELLY2BELLY! WAIT! That’s Tavion Heights! Tavion says he ain’t asking no more, he’s taking! He is after everything he deserves, and he deserves it all! But hold on, someone is adding insult to injury! MOONSAULT off the top rope! The fans here know him, but will the entire WWE Universe soon learn what is going on?
Shiloh Hill & Tatum Paxley are… somewhere in the woods…
And they’re looking down in a grave they dug. Tatum says, “Here lies the final resting ground for Blake Monroe here in NXT. May the cold darkness engulf her glamorous and narcissistic ways.” Shiloh likes those last words. Tatum says she didn’t want to do it, but Blake made her! Tatum had to end it! At least now they don’t have to hear Blake’s voice. Well, they don’t call it soundproof foam for nothing. RIGHT, BLAKE?! HAHA! But seriously, hopefully Blake’s soul finds peace wherever it winds up. Tatum says in a funny way, she does, too. It’s just… She feels like something comes over her when it comes to this title. Like she goes into survival mode.
Shiloh sits with Tatum and says that makes sense. Sometimes, when we work so hard for things, it feels like they become part of us. And when that thing is threatened, it feels like you’re threatened. Plus, Tatum is the kind of person who forms really strong attachments to things and people. That’s what makes her so fun to be around. Tatum says she never thought of it like that. She’ll figure it out later, but as for Shiloh, he has a big match with Saints! Yeah, he’s so excited! Biggest moment of his life! He’s watched every Ricky Saints match the past six months, even made a simulator to study how Saints strings his moves together. Wow, so cool!
Yeah, but it’s sad, though. It got super realistic, and now the virtual Ricky is a little lonely… But at least now, Shiloh knows what to do to win. But speaking of, he’d love to enjoy this scene… Tatum understands, he can go. Shiloh will kill it. No offense to the deceased here. Tatum says she’ll rest here a bit first. Tatum reclines back, holding her title tight. Will anyone ever stop #TuesdayAddams and her reign? Will #ToothlessAggression give the Absolute a proper sendoff before Saints goes to SmackDown?
EK Prosper & Dorian Van Dux VS Uriah Connors & Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo w/ Birthright!
The Disrespectfully Athletic was definitely disrespected when the entirety of Birthright made sure Lexis King would reign as WWE Speed Champion. And the Muscles from Brussels stepped up to help EK step up to these entitled brats in a 2v2 situation. But before the match, the Drama King himself gets a mic so he can speak. “Hey, there’s no such thing as a slow news day when you are the Fastest Man Alive! And I do have some news to share with y’all, some terrible, terrible news. And y’know, I just wanted to come out here and cheer on my brothers, because they were gonna put on a tag team classic that only generational talent can do.
“But unfortunately for EK, he’s gonna have to prosper all on his own tonight! Because his Belgian bud suffered from a little accident.” They cue up footage, and it was Arianna Grace selfie video vlogging BIRTHRIGHT BEATING DVD UP! Oh no~! The fans boo as they don’t even try to hide what they did! EK makes his entrance and he rushes the ring! EK dodges Lexis, SUPERKICKS Stacks, fires hands on Charlie & Uriah, then SUPERKICKS Lexis! But it’s still a numbers game! WAIT! Sean Legacy is here! #SuperSean rushes the ring to throw hands on Birthright! Things are evening out now, and they TOSS Birthright out! Then they SLIDE Stacks onto the pile!
The fans fire up as legacy is 100% and ready to roll! The ref slides in, and as they say, card subject to change! Birthright is riled up so they’re more than willing to take this fight! Will Prosper & Legacy make sure Birthright gets what they deserve?
EK Prosper & Sean Legacy VS Uriah Connors & Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo w/ Birthright!

The fans fire up with Legacy and he whips Stacks to ropes. Uriah sneaks the tag, Stacks sunset flips but Legacy stays up. But then Legacy lets himself roll back to avoid Uriah’s lariat!

The fans boo but Birthright proves they can fly! They also stand tall while NXT goes to break.
NXT returns as the fans rally for Legacy, but Uriah drags him up. Uriah stomps Legacy back down, kicks him around, and talks trash while he does. Uriah then stands Legacy up to CHOP! Uriah runs up, Legacy puts him on the apron, but Uriah ROCKS him! Uriah goes up but Legacy GAMANGIRIS! The fans rally as Legacy climbs, but Uriah fires body shots! Uriah goes up, calls his shot, but Legacy SUPER BACKDROPS him! Then QUEBRADA into the SAVING GRACE! Both men are down but the fans fire up again! Legacy and Uriah crawl, hot tags to Stacks and EK! The fans fire up as Prosper somersaults to NECKBREAKER DROP Stacks!

EK gets moving, springboard to DOUBLE QUEBRADA! Then a MICHINOKU DRIVER on Stacks! Uriah SUPERKICKS the cover apart! Legacy BOOTS Uriah! Stacks ENZIGIRIS Legacy! Stacks catches EK to a waistlock, they go to the ropes, and Uriah tags in before EK can buck the O’Conner! Stacks sends EK back into the corner for a GAMANGIRI! Then FLATLINER! Uriah is up top, SWANTON BOMB! Cover, Legacy DOUBLE STOMPS it apart!
The fans fire up but Stacks is on Legacy! “This is Awesome!” as Stacks whips but Legacy stops himself. Legacy DUMPS Stacks out, then runs up on Uriah. Uriah dodges to SUPERKICK! Legacy tumbles out, Uriah builds speed, but Legacy is back! Stacks tags in before the SPANISH FLY! EK SHINING WIZARDS Stacks! EK then goes up, up, and Legacy tags in! MOONSAULT onto Stacks! Legacy hauls Stacks up, for SHAMBLES!! Cover, Legacy & Prosper win!
Winners: EK Prosper & Sean Legacy, by pinfall
But then Birthright attacks, the sore losers! The fans boo but it is a 4v2 mugging! Lexis has them set EK up while Stacks holds Legacy back. Lexis throws hands, but wait! TATE WILDER is here?! And he goes up, up, and away with a DOUBLE MISSLE DROPKICK! The Modern Day Cowboy then SLINGBLADES Lexis! Wilder fires off hands, then he TOSSES Stacks! Legacy has Dempsey while Wilder DOUBLE SHOOTING STAR ATTACKS Birthright on the outside! Legacy TOSSES Dempsey, Lexis scrambles around, and security rushes out here before this gets any wilder than it already is! But has Birthright found out they can’t just do what they want when they want?
The women’s locker room is buzzing.
Thea Hail wonders with all the faces we’re seeing for the men, and with Fatal Influence on SmackDown, will some new ladies show up? Jaida Parker says NXT is literally anyone’s for the taking, so who knows. Meanwhile, Kali Armstrong walks in and asks why everyone’s worried. Jaida says they’re not worried, they’re just unsure. Kali says oh, Jaida Parker is scared of a little competition. What was that? Kali says Jaida is scared! Oh, okay, that’s what Jaida thought she said. But Jaida ain’t ever scared, so Kali better tread lightly. Or what?! Thea says she wouldn’t do that, Kali. Uh, ain’t nobody asked you!
Kali says that’s the problem with the NXT Women’s Division. Kali is gonna be THE difference maker up in here! And if that has to start with checking Jaida, then so be it. Jaida says okay, we’re having none of that. Jaida stands up, Kali steps up, but the rest of the women step in so this doesn’t get physical. But to the point, with all this change, who pulls ahead as the new alpha female of NXT?
Shawn Michaels speaks.
“WWE NXT will soon be available in one place. NXT PLEs will air exclusively on CW starting this summer. All your favorite NXT superstars, the heart pounding action, will be available in one place, and that is only right here on the CW.” HBK drops a big news bomb, but how hot will this summer be now that the CW IS N X T?
Robert Stone talks with Tate Wilder backstage.
Suit Man Stone tells Tate he is “throwing caution to the wind, you look fired up.” They shake hands as Wilder says heck yeah, he’s fired up! Time to let him loose! Then welcome to NXT. Wilder heads out, Lola steps in, and Lola says if Izzi Dame wants to play games, them Lola is about to knock her ass out! The NXT Women’s Champion goes right to gorilla and makes her entrance! The fans cheer as the Mayor of Vice City goes right to the ring, grabs a mic, and tells Izzi, “Last week, you said The Culling was always two steps ahead. You blindsided me, and you think you did your big one. You think you had your moment.”
But Izzi, Lola feels sorry for you! Because Izzi can’t do anything on her own, and the moment she does, she is getting knocked out! Lola is here in this ring, no waiting, no hiding, and she wants Izzi to come out here so everyone can see what Lola’s about to do to her! The fans cheer, and Lola says she already told us she was gonna be the realest champion this place has ever seen! No excuses, just a straight up fight! So Izzi, mama, show her what you got! But Shawn Spears responds on the tron. “Hola, Lola. You really didn’t think this through, did you? Especially after what happened last week. But listen, champ, some free advice.
“If you’re looking to hang on to your NXT Women’s Championship, then you need to stay one step ahead, just like The Culling always is. One. Step. Ahead.” And yes, The Culling is now in the ring behind Lola! Lola says oh, looks like they got her again. Or did they? MR. IGUANA slides out from under the ring, La Yesca in mouth! The fans fire up as Iguana SMACKS Niko with Yesca, then throws her to Izzi! Izzi freaks out while Lola SOBATS Niko! Then SUPERKICK! Iguana RANAS Niko while Lola ROUNDHOUSES Izzi! The Culling is scurrying away as THE AAA Mixed Tag Team Champions are here! Will this dynamic duo teach The Culling a thing or two?
DarkState regroups.
Osiris tries to keep Dion calm, but Saquon is heated. What were they doing?! Is this what Dion wanted? Dion must be real happy now, huh? Dion says no, he was genuinely trying to help out. Saquon says he didn’t need it, fool! Just cuz Dion couldn’t get the job done last week… Oh, now Saquon’s making this personal? Saquon can’t seriously believe Dion would cost him gold on purpose! Saquon says he doesn’t know what to believe, Dion has been acting real weird as of late! Dion says don’t act like Dion never put Saquon on game. Dion gave Saquon HIS tag title, didn’t he? Oh, yeah, a participation trophy, real nice!
Cutler shouts at them both to shut up! They did it Dion’s way, they did it Saquon’s way, and it didn’t work out! Just give it up! Osiris says Dion & Saquon need to get their heads out their asses, that’s why they’re dropping the ball. Now, here’s a new plan. The first gold was tag gold, so let’s go get that back. Cutler & Osiris head out, Dion & Saquon cool off. Will starting from square one be just the thing for DarkState to survive?
Lizzy Rain VS Nikkita Lyons!
The newest star of NXT and the lover of all things heavy metal makes her entrance as she says, “Scream for me, NXT! Lizzy Rain is bringing heavy metal tonight! And the world is about to find out that Lizzy Rain and heavy metal will never, ever DIE!” The fans cheer the rock ‘n’ roll, but Lizzy is going up against #BigKatKita and her love of hip hop. Will this battle of the genres turn out alright for Lizzy? Or will she fail to top the charts in her debut?
The bell rings and the two circle. The fans rally as the two tie up, go around, and Lyons KNEES low. Lyons THROWS Lizzy by her hair, then swaggers, only for Lizzy to kip up!

PLAY BY PLAY
The OG Bloodline sits down to talk.
The Tribal Chief tells The Usos that he appreciates them coming, being here with him. They know exactly where Roman Reigns comes from, and they know exactly why he stands here today. Roman knows the past is the past, that’s where they’re gonna leave it because they’re blood, and The Usos are the only ones Roman can trust. He needs their thoughts. he doesn’t understand where Jacob is coming from. Roman said it to the whole roster, the family included, that they had two years to take advantage of Roman taking a backseat. And what’d Jacob do? He pushed, procrastinated, then Roman climbed the mountain and beat CM Punk.
Now, Jacob wants to take that from Roman? Help him understand! #BigJim tells #BigUce that he does not disagree. But he also agrees with Jacob. Jacob wants to upgrade his household. Jimmy gets that, they all get that, but it shouldn’t come at the expense of Roman Reigns. Jacob is a different breed. Jey says he’s DANGEROUS! On SmackDown, we all saw Jacob drop MFT one by one by one! Unpredictable, Uce! Unhinged! They left him “out there” for a reason! If Jacob beats Roman, Jacob takes it all! Ula Fala, the family name, Jacob becomes the shot caller! Jimmy debates that but Jey says Jimmy saw it! This is it, Uce!
It can’t be all about respect here. There has to be consequences! Roman’s the Tribal Chief! Roman ponders on the concept of consequences. Jey is right, they’re not doing charity. Roman thanks The Usos for this. He will make it his own, then he will address this later tonight. He appreciates The Usos. They say it is all love and respect, too. Family first, Uce. They all put hands in, for they are the “first family.” Is the Tribal Chief giving Jacob his match at Backlash? We simply have to wait and see.
Seth Rollins is here!
Laredo, Texas cheers as The Architect makes his way to the ring in all black like Neo from the Matrix! The fans sing, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” as Rollins goes right to the ring. Rollins grabs a mic, revels in the singing, then says, “Laredo, Texas! Welcome to Monday Night Rollins~! I am the Visionary, I am the Revolutionary, I AM Seth! Freakin! Rollins!” The fans cheer for that! Rollins continues by saying he has a lot of ground to cover so let’s get to it.
There is a reason he lost to Gunther at WrestleMania, and it is NOT because Gunther was better that night. There is a reason Roman Reigns is walking around with ROLLINS’ World Heavyweight Championship, and it is NOT because Roman pinned Rollins’ shoulders to the mat. The reasons for those things are one in the same, and they have a name, and that name is BRON BREAKKER! Fans boo and bark, but Rollins knows Bron is sitting in the back, NINE staples in his dome, which you can thank Rollins for. But they have business to tend to, a score to settle, so Bron can get his pea brain out here so they can do the damn thing!
The fans cheer as Bron obliges! The Unpredictable Badass storms down the ramp, Paul Heyman following behind. The fans are torn as Bron keeps eyes locked on Rollins as he steps into the ring. Bron stares Rollins down while fans either bark or sing the song, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” Rollins tells Bron, “I gave you everything. I gave you the world, I handed it to you on a silver platter, and you repaid me by taking EVERYTHING away from me! You are the reason I had to forfeit the World Heavyweight Championship, you are the reason I didn’t get to main event WrestleMania this year, and you are the reason I didn’t get my hand raised at WrestleMania this year.
“But I gotta ask you, Bron… For what? What’d you get out of it? How did it benefit you in any way?” Heyman has Bron step back, then hands him a mic. The fans tell Heyman off but Bron says, “You gave me everything? What’d you give me, by the way? What’d you give Reed and I? Because the way that I see it, every single week, we were like you errand boys. We got to come out here and fight all your battles for you, and put out all the fires that YOU started all on your own! Because look around, Seth! You got nothing! You got no one! You got no friends, you are nothing! You needed us to fight all your battles for you!
“And what? You were giving me such great wisdom and all this guidance when every single week, you’d kick off the show, and Reed and I would have to stand in the back and listen to you regurgitate the same crap every single week.” Bron plugs his nose so he can imitate Rollins’ voice as he repeats, “I am a Visionary, I am a Revolutionary, I am Seth Freakin’ Rollins!” Bron wants to make it clear to Rollins that he never needed him or Rollins’ Vision. The only reason they’re standing here today is because Bron needed HEYMAN. Rollins double checks: Bron needed Heyman? “That dried up sack o’ meat? You needed him?”
Rollins almost laughs, and he says Bron just proved Rollins right on everything. Let’s go on a little ride down memory lane. A couple years ago, Rollins is World Heavyweight Champion, he won a fight with the Best in the World, then calls up The Heartbreak Kid. Rollins asked Shawn Michaels about facing NXT’s best, and who was NXT’s best? Bron Breakker. Rollins said hell yeah, let’s do the damn thing! Last year, Heyman comes to Rollins, asks Rollins about taking Bron under his wing and Rollins said hell yeah, that kid with a year under Rollins’ tutelage will be THE next main event star in this industry!
Just look at Bron! Bron’s got it all! Rollins has been here for 14 YEARS, seen athletes from every single discipline, they are big, strong, fast, but Bron is unique. Bron is the biggest, strongest, fastest, most versatile performer Rollins has ever seen here. Bron has EVERYTHING to be THE next big star… except the most important thing. Rollins points to the brain, and Rollins knows better than anyone what it means to be a 28 year old young cat full o’ piss ‘n’ vinegar, thinking this business owes him something, not wanting to wait for nobody. Rollins knows better than anybody to bet on yourself, take chances, make the hard decisions.
But the difference between them is, Bron tries, Rollins succeeds! And do you know why? Rollins will paint a picture: Every time Rollins bet on himself, it ended with a world title or a main event. Bron bets on himself and it gets him Austin Theory & Logan Paul. It gets him steak dinners, private jets, and happy endings from Heyman. Bron tries, Rollins succeeds, because Rollins will say this plainly for even Bron’s pea brain: Bron is NOT ready. Bron says, “I’m not ready? That’s the narrative you wanna go with? I hate to break it to you, superstar, but before all this was a thing, I was well on my way to becoming a main event with or without you!”
Bron never needed that help, and yet you blame Bron for losing the WHC? The truth is, Rollins’ body can’t handle it, his mind is brittle, and his shoulder can’t handle the weight of a strap on it anymore! The fans boo, but Bron grins as he says yeah, he took his shot and came up short. But y’know what? Bron can go to sleep at night a lot better knowing he lost to the Best int he World instead of someone who self-proclaims it! Bron believes Rollins is everything he says, with all the accolades, titles, everything there is to win here. A first-ballot WWE Hall of Famer, no doubt.
Rollins is THE very best pro-wrestler in the entire world… at being number two. The fans are torn, but Rollins says that was pretty good for Baby Steiner. He come up with all that on his own? Or did he call Big Poppa Pump for the hook up? Bron thinks he is ready, but Backlash is two weeks away! Rollins is going to give Bron the opportunity to prove that he is ready. But let Rollins let you in on a little secret that everyone else knows. As a Steiner, Bron’s not even number two in his own family. Rollins drops the mic and heads out, but will Rollins be ready for the backlash of challenging Bron to a match?
Stephanie Vaquer arrives backstage.
La Primera is ready to get back at Liv Morgan, but RAQUEL RODRIGUEZ ATTACKS! La Ruda catches Vaquer with the cheap shot, then THROWS her into road cases! Roxie & Liv are there, and they RAM a road case into Vaquer! Judgment Day stands over Vaquer, and Liv tells Vaquer this is HER title! Judgment Day leaves Vaquer behind, but have they truly moved past her? Or is the Dark Angel only going to be more hellbent on her revenge?
PENTA VS Rusev!
Speaking of revenge, the Man With No Fear may still be Intercontinental Champion, but now he owes The Bulgarian Brute a beating for last week. Will #CeroMiedo withstand the power of MACHKA?
Raw returns as Rusev makes his entrance. But wait, then so does Ethan Page! The fans boo All Ego getting involved in this, but he technically was part of the problem last week. The bell rings and the fans rally as the two tie up. Rusev KNEES and CLUBS Penta while Ethan takes a seat ringside. Rusev suplexes Penta, then drags him up for a GUT WRENCH PLEX! The fans rally for Penta, but Rusev scoops for a FALL AWAY SLAM! Penta tumbles, but Rusev CLUBS him and BOOTS him! Rusev stands on Penta, but only Ethan applauds. Rusev steps off to whip Penta, but Penta KICKS on return! and SUPERKICKS!
Penta runs, DROPKICKS, and Rusev tumbles out! Penta then FLIES! Down goes Rusev, right in front of Ethan and commentary! Ethan mockingly applauds but Penta warns him. Ethan says eyes on the prize, and Rusev back suplexes! Penta lands out to SUPERKICK Rusev again! Penta puts Rusev in, Ethan protests how close that got, but Penta keeps moving. Springboard, but into the MACHKA KICK! Rusev scoops for a SWINGING SLAM! The fans boo, Rusev snarls, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again as Rusev has Penta up top! Penta fights the suplex with body shots, then with forearms! The fans cheer as Penta HEADBUTTS Rusev down! Penta then adjusts and leaps, CROSSBODY! Penta keeps moving, he ducks ‘n’ dodges to mule kick a leg! SLING-DOG! Rusev goes to a corner, Penta GAMANGIRIS! Penta sits Rusev down, then runs up to headstand and SWINGING DROPKICK! Rusev sputters but Penta drags him to a cover, ONE!! Rusev still has a lot of gas in the tank, and he KNEES Penta down low! Rusev whips, Penta goes up and over, BACKSTABBER! Cover, TWO! Even Ethan is surprised!
Penta and Rusev rise, the fans rally, and Penta runs up to DEST- NO, Rusev BACKDROPS! Then ROUNDHOUSE! Rusev clinches, URENAGES, and he goes to a corner. The fans boo as Penta stirs and Rusev stomps around. Rusev runs up, MACHKA KICK! Penta falls, but Rusev isn’t done there! Ethan applauds as Rusev shouts, “CRUSH!!” Stomp and ACCOL- NO, Penta slips out, SUPERKICKS, then feints the springboard! Machka kick misses, Penta rolls Rusev up! PENTA WINS!
Winner: Penta, by pinfall
The fans cheer, but Rusev CLOBBERS Penta! Ethan cheers, he is also a sore loser so he likes this! The fans tell Rusev off while he stomps away on Penta! Ethan steps in the ring, takes off his jacket and undoes his cufflinks, but then Rusev glares at him. Ethan says okay, Rusev can have his time with Penta. But then Penta CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS! Ethan CLOBBERS Penta! The fans boo as now Ethan and Rusev stomp away on Penta! But wait, here comes Je’Von Evans! The fans fire up as The Young OG DUMPS Rusev out, then RAMS into Ethan! And then springboards to FLYING LARIAT! The fans fire up as Evans taunts Rusev!
Rusev runs up, Penta SUPERKICKS! Evans goes up, up, O G CUTTER!! The fans fire up as Evans kicks Rusev out, and he stands tall with Penta. They shake hands on it, they’ll stand against Rusev & Ethan to clear them out of the way. Will Cero Miedo get BOUNCY~?
Los Americanos speak.
Rayo introduces himself, Bravo, and El Grande himself. El Grande steps forward to say, “In a few weeks, I will be competing in one of the biggest and most important matches in the history of lucha libre against Chaparro Americano, Mask VS Mask!” And he cannot lie, this match will be the most important match of his entire life! The biggest fight he’ll ever have. And y’know what? He’ll have to be ready to fight for his life. And to be honest, there is much more on the line. He must be ready to fight for his name, his colors, for Mexico, and for his home.
And what better way to prepare for that than to issue a respectful challenge to the biggest lucha libre legend ever, Rey Mysterio? It would be an honor to step into the ring against Rey here in Laredo, Texas! That is a GRANDE challenge, but is he biting off more than he can chew facing the King of Lucha?
Becky Lynch is here!
The Man has come around to Laredo, and she is the THREE-TIME Women’s Intercontinental Champion. But what will Becky have to say about her big time WrestleMania win? We’ll find out, after the break.
Raw returns as Becky stands in the ring, still wearing the ring gear from her WrestleMania victory. Becky takes a moment before she says, “The Man, and the NEW Women’s Intercontinental Champion, has come around to Laredo, Texas!” The fans are torn on that, but Becky says we just entered a whole new era of “The Manosphere,” because a lot of history was made at WrestleMania 42! Becky finally got rid of Loser AJ Lee, having ended her horrible title reign, and she put gold around the waist of someone who truly deserves it in herself. She became the first WWE Superstar to win four different titles at Mania.
She became the first-ever THREE TIME Women’s IC Champion! She’s now won more WrestleMania matches than any woman in history! And Undertaker, she’s coming for that streak next! And she proved once and for all why she is the Greatest Women’s Wrestler of All Time, and it’s not just her saying that, other people say it. Sports Illustrated says it, The Bleacher Report says it. All of that is wonderful, all of that is great, but what was most important is that she looked out at a sea of over 50 THOUSAND fans, and she saw her baby girl in the front row.
Becky was able to take her out, walk with her up the ramp, and she realized that she needed to show her daughter what a real champion is. It isn’t about the five-star hotels, the fancy restaurants and the private jets, even though they indulge in all of those. It is not about going to the biggest cities and performing in front of the best crowds. It is also about going to the rundown towns like Laredo and showing out for the commonfolk like everyone here. And Becky knows what they need and what they want. They want a fighting champion! They want her to defend the title! And not just against some nostalgia act or an underdog.
They want Becky VS the best of the best! They want new, exciting, shiny! So Becky stands here before us as The Man of the People, issuing an open challenge to whoever wants to come out here, look them in the eyes and say, “Welcome to the Big Time. Now let’s throw some hands!” Who is it gonna be?! Becky waits, and we get… IYO SKY! The fans cheer that! Iyo gets herself a mic while Becky is rather stunned, and she tells Becky, “I accept!” Becky laughs and asks what Iyo accepts. She wanted to fight the best of the best, the new, the shiny, the exciting. Iyo is none of those things! The fans boo but Becky says that’s for Iyo!
Iyo says no, that’s for Becky! The fans cheer Becky but Becky says okay, okay, she understands. Iyo is accepting on behalf of Rhea Ripley, the part of the team that actually has gold. Is Rhea coming back? Mami VS Becky, Becky Two Belts again. Becky wanted Shawn Michaels, not Marty Jannetty. And clearly, Iyo was holding Rhea back. Iyo SLAPS Becky down! The fans fire up as Iyo stomps Becky, Becky bails out, but Adam Pearce says whoa, hold on, where are you going? The champ wanted a fight, Iyo answered the call, and in case you forgot, we’re in Laredo! So it will be a title match, let’s get a ref, cuz we’re doing it now!
The fans cheer, but Becky CLOBBERS Iyo! The ref hurries in here and backs Becky off. Iyo is still getting her shot, is the Genius about to make The Man’s historic reign historically short, too?
WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship: Becky Lynch VS Iyo Sky!
Raw returns as the match is already going, and Iyo SHOTGUNS Becky down! the fans fire up with Iyo, and she CLUBS Becky on the back.

The fans fire up as Iyo does her crazy taunt! Iyo then aims at Becky in the corner, SHINKANSEN! Iyo pushes Becky to the cover, TWO! Becky survives but Iyo stays focused. Iyo goes up, up, but Becky YANKS her back down! And dragon sleeper for an EYE OF THE HURRICANE! Cover, TWO! Iyo is still in this and that frustrates Becky. Becky demands Iyo stand, then clinches, but Iyo victory rolls for STOMP 182! Becky bails out, Iyo builds speed, but Becky ROCKS Iyo first! Becky reels Iyo in, but Iyo PELES free! Iyo then runs up, SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB to the FLOOR! The fans are thunderous while both women are down, and Raw goes to break!

Iyo goes up, but Becky trips her up again! Becky climbs, but Iyo ELBOWS her away!
Becky staggers but Iyo reels Becky in, TORNADO DDT! Iyo goes up, up, and OVER THE MOONSAULT, but into BOOTS! Becky hurries to clinch! MANHANDLE SLAM!! Cover, TWO?!? Becky is shocked as Iyo survives her best shot! Laredo is all fired up for Iyo but that infuriates Becky. Becky drags Iyo to the drop zone, goes up, but Iyo trips her up now! Becky SMACKS off post, tumbles to the apron then the floor, but Iyo goes right out! ASAI MOONSAULT! Down goes Becky at the ramp! Iyo hurries to get Becky up and in, then takes off a shoe that’s bothering her. Becky distracts the ref, ASUKA TRIPS IYO!! Becky clinches, MANHANDLE SLAM!! Cover, Becky wins!!
Winner: Becky Lynch, by pinfall (still WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion)
The Man survives thanks to a big time assist from The Empress of Tomorrow! Asuka may be without her Pirate Princess, but she’s still pissed at Iyo for her supposed disrespect! BUZZSAW! ASUKA LOCK!! Iyo flails, even taps, but nothing can save her from Asuka’s wrath! Fans chant “We Want Kairi!” but Asuka stands on Iyo with a sinister smile. Will Asuka break Iyo and make her respect her senpai?
El Grande Americano Original talks with Rey Mysterio.
EGA OG says hola to Rey, and knows Rey is fraternizing with that faker, that supposed El Grande Americano Dos. First he endorses the guy, then he has a match against him. Original just wants to know that on May 30th for AAA, Mask VS Mask, does Original have to watch his back? Rey says no, he does not, Mr. OG Grande. Listen, the only thing Rey is looking for is for them all to respect lucha libre. Rey says in Spanish that for a luchador, their mask is everything. All OG Grande can says is si, bueno. But then Los Americanos step into the room! And they ask what Rey is doing with this guy! Rey says it is not what they think.
The Grandes start arguing, both in Spanish and English, but Rey shouts them all down. Tranquilos, cabrones! He is not choosing sides. Rayo & Bravo say he better. Is that a threat?! No, take it easy, jefe, they’re just saying. See you in the ring. Los Americanos head out, Rey is a little annoyed with them and OG Grande, but will the King of Lucha teach them all a thing or two about the culture?
Backstage interview with The Usos.
Byron Saxton is with Jimmy & Jey, and he gets to it: Can they give us some intel on which direction Roman Reigns is leaning towards? #BigJim says the OTC will make his decision when The OTC is ready to make his decision. Jey adds YEET, but LA Knight steps in. The Mega Star hopes he didn’t just hear them say that. OTC, sitting at the head of the table. Knight isn’t here to tear them down but to remind them of who they are. Main Event Jey Uso, a former world champion, and how’d he do that? On his own! Big Jim Uso, also all the potential in the world to be world champion, but how is he gonna do that? Not under Roman Reigns, that’s for sure!
Jey tells Knight to stay in his lane, but Jimmy calms him down. Jimmy told Knight that this is family business. Knight understands that, and he can respect that. But the problem is, the whole Bloodline thing, they had immense power, they run roughshod over everybody. But the problem was, that power corrupts, and when it does, it becomes Knight’s business, YEAH! Knight leaves it at this, but does he have a point? Is The Bloodline about to relapse into their old ways?
Joe Hendry is here!
Laredo waves their hands from side to side as The Prestigious One is in the ring. “Say his name because he has appeared in Laredo, Texas!” The fans cheer, and Hendry knows they know he had a big decision to make, so he wants to tell us all about it in the song. “I’ve won the titles everywhere I go. I’ve been on WrestleMania and many other shows. But the time has come for me to pick one brand. I’m sorry to the others, I hope they understand. Joe Hendry’s on Raw, Raw, Joe Hendry signed to Raw. Raw, Raw, Joe Hendry signs to Raw.
“Next time you turn on Netflix, you won’t just want to chill. I’ll have you believing in a better kind of thrill. Raw, Raw, Joe Hendry’s on Raw. respect to the Ruler, I acknowledge The OTC. But Adam Pearce, if you’re listening, can you make one change for me? That’s Logan Paul, Paul, can we fire Logan Paul? Paul, Paul, can we fire Logan Paul? Everyone! Paul, Paul, can we fire Logan Paul? All together! Paul, Paul, can we fire Logan-” Well, now The Maverick is here, and he says you can’t fire him! You can’t fire him, he’s unfireable! Boo you, Hendry, you can’t fire him! He’s Logan Paul! All of you are awful, just like that song!
Logan says, “You’re awful!” to the fans in the front row. He knows this is Hendry’s first not on Raw, and now it’s also his last! He’s made the worst mistake of his life! Theory then tells Hendry that he isn’t seeing things right. See this right here? That’s gold, that makes them the greatest tag team champions of the world! Of the UNIVERSE! What they’re telling Hendry is that they are winners! Hendry asks if these guys are winners. The fans say, “NO!” Hendry says Joe says no to that. He saw ESPN< he saw Mania, he just saw some primetime losers! Now The Vision is mad, and they throw stuff out of the ring!
Theory says lemme tell you something! This mat belongs to The Vision! The camera that everyone sees through belongs to The Vision. And The Vision goes through everybody! Hendry is in a lucky spot, because they’re gonna go through him! They push Hendry, but he TURNS! LARIAT for Theory! Hendry RAMS Logan into a corner! Theory goes after Hendry, the Vision mugs him 2v1, and the fans boo as they KNEE Hendry low! But wait! Here come the Street Profits! Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins went after The Vision last week, so here we go again! Dawkins DUMPS Logan out before he DECKS him!
Dawkins ROCKS Theory, whips him, REVELATION! The fans fire up and pump it up with Ford! He goes up top but Logan saves Theory! At least, for now. Ford points to Hendry, he HIGH JUMPS to take The Vision down! The fans fire up for Hendry & The Profits, and we all get to wave our hands from side to side! The Profits are believers, but will they also be the hunters when it comes to The Vision and those World Tag Team Championships?
Grayson Waller complains to Adam Pearce.
The Aussie Icon doesn’t like the Raw General Manager just giving people opportunities outta nowhere. That bouncy idiot, Je’Von, is one cutter away from retirement! Then Pearce has one guy singing songs, there’s some little vampire kid cursing people, where are the opportunities for Waller? He’s in the shape of his life, lad! Pearce says he’ll give Oba Femi a shot. Wow, okay, he beat Brock at the END of his career? #Obarated! Uh, no, Oba’s behind you. Waller regrets everything but Oba says if Waller wants a chance, then Pearce can give him one against Oba tonight. Waller says Pearce should’ve warned him!
Pearce says he did, but too late. Waller needs to go get his gear on, because that match is official. Is Waller about to have a Fall From Grace?
Joe Hendry & The Street Profits regroup backstage.
Ford & Dawkins are singing the very catchy, “Paul, Paul, can we fire Logan Paul?” Hendry thanks for the help, what a welcome to Raw. They shake hands on it, and Ford says get a different colored shirt now that he’s on the red brand, you know what he means? Hendry nods and heads out, and The Profits secret handshake. And then Rollins steps in, and he tells them that last week- Ford stops Rollins there, because there he goes thinking this is all about him. Last week wasn’t about him but about those tag titles. Rollins thinking he special. The Profits leave and Rollins does have to consider that.
But either way, will Rollins and The Profits find themselves working together against The Vision? Or is this all going to be for naught?
El Grande Americano w/ Los Americanos VS Rey Mysterio!
The battle of Los Grande Americanos is set for May 30th, and the King of Lucha has ended up in the middle of it all. Will Rey be much more than just a tune-up for El Grande Americano Dos? Or will this El Grande be more than ready to face the other Grande Americano next month?
Raw returns as Los Americanos make their entrance. The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. The two tie up, and Grande wrenches to wristlock. Rey rolls, uses the ropes to flip through, then Rey wrenches, only for Grande to wrangle him. Rey kips up to wrench but Grande rolls, spins, and he drop toeholds Rey to then go for the wristlock. The fans applaud the technical exchange as Grande then floats to a cover, ONE as Rey gets an arm up! Grande puts the arm down, TWO as Rey gets the other arm up! Another cover, TWO! A third cover, TWO as Rey bridges! Grande hops on, but Rey stays up! The fans cheer while Grande is stunned!
Grande jumps again but Rey uses that to get up and up and sunset flip! TWO, Grande runs up but Rey sweeps! Cover, ONE! Grande sweeps and covers, ONE! The fans cheer as the two stand off. Rey and Grande applaud each other, then Rey offers a handshake. Grande accepts, but Rey kicks low! Rey whips, Grande reverses to kick low! Grande hammerlocks Rey, brings him around, but Rey fires elbows. Rey cravats to jump and flying-mare! Grande RUNS Rey over! Things keep moving, Rey bypasses Grande to tilt-o-whirl and RANA! Grande’s on the ropes, Rey dials it up, but Grande GAMANGIRIS first! Cover, TWO! The fans rally while Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again as Rey whips Grande to ropes and BACKDROPS him! Grande goes to a corner while the fans cheer, and Rey whips corner to corner. Grande reverses, blocks a kick, and SMACKS Rey! Rey staggers to another corner but Grande whips corner to corner. Grande runs up but Rey BOOTS him! Rey ELBOWS Grande, then goes up, but Grande CLUBS him on the back! Grande gets under Rey but Rey slips free. Grande SMACKS Rey again, whips, but Rey reverses. Grande goes up and over, but Rey goes up to QUEBRADA, but Grande stays up! Only for Rey to TORNADO DDT! The fans fire up while Rey covers, TWO!
Rey is surprised but many are surprised he pulled that counter off in the first place. Rey waits on Grande to get up, then DROPKICKS him onto the ropes! The fans cheer as Rey dials it up, but Rayo distracts so Bravo can trip Rey! The fans boo but Bravo plays dumb. Rayo hurries to sneak Grande his metal plate! Rey DECKS Bravo, then runs to 619 Rayo down! The fans cheer, Rey slingshots, but Grande dodges the splash! Grande grabs the metal plate, but then ORIGINAL GRANDE is here! They tug-o-war over the plate, Rey BLASTS the Grandes into each other! Rey runs again, RANA! Grande Dos is on the ropes, so Rey redials, 619!!
Rey aims again, slingshot and DROP THE DIME! Cover, Rey wins!
Winner: Rey Mysterio, by pinfall
El Grande Americano Dos tried to lie, cheat and steal, but Rey spots the metal plate! And he even tells Original that no one is getting it! They’re gonna have to fight fair ‘n’ square in May! Well for now, Grande Original CLOBBERS Grande Dos! The fans fire up as these two brawl while they grapple! Producers and refs rush out here but fans want to “Let Them Fight! Let Them Fight!” The Grandes are separated, but the animosity between them is only growing! Who proves they are El Grande Americano Superior on May 30th?
Asuka speaks.
“Iyo, did you think you were done with me? I say when we’re done! Because I am still your senpai. All I’ve done is try to help you and all you’ve done is disappoint me. For so long, I blamed myself for your mistakes. I thought I did something wrong for you to turn your back on me. But I finally realize YOU are the problem! You are ungrateful, selfish, and my biggest failure. But I didn’t fail you, you failed me. You failed your family! And now, we’re both alone, because I didn’t want another Iyo. I’ve spared you until now because I thought we could be a family again. But now that you killed that family…NOTHING will stop me from destroying you!
“So, at Backlash, I fix my failure. I teach you one final lesson. And that lesson is… You are not and will never be ready for Asuka!” The grudge match is finally set, but will the Empress of Tomorrow make sure Iyo has no future? Or will the Genius prove that she’s left her senpai behind long ago?
Grayson Waller VS Oba Femi!
The Aussie Icon likes him a good “shoey,” but he stuck his foot in his mouth this time. Grayson wanted an opportunity, but will he even survive against The Ruler that conquered The Beast?
The bell rings and the two circle. The fans already chant “O~BA!” as he blocks Waller’s kick. Oba LARIATS Waller, TOSSES him to a corner, then fires body shots from all sides. Oba UPPERCUTS Waller, whips him corner to corner, then UPPERCUTS again! Oba runs corner to corner for another UPPERCUT! Oba keeps going, but Waller bails out! The fans boo, but Oba has Waller at the apron. Waller HOTSHOTS Oba, then somersaults, but into the SHOTPUT BOMB! Oba UPPERCUTS Waller back down and the fans fire up! Pop-up, and FALL FROM GRACE!! Cover, Oba wins!
Winner: Oba Femi, by pinfall
Waller wanted on the card tonight, but maybe he regrets it. At the very least, Waller learned Femi isn’t #Obarated! Oba has the mic to ask Laredo if they’re feeling good tonight. The fans cheer because indeed they are! Oba says they’re feeling good, he’s feeling good, Waller isn’t, but we don’t care about how Waller feels. Waller did say something that was right, though. There is no opportunity around here, because all the big champions are locked in with contenders, the US Champion doesn’t do open challenges, so Oba is going to take it upon himself to create a solution to the problem. Ladies and gentlemen, as of today, the Oba Femi Open Challenge will commence!
The fans cheer, and Oba says to any man back there who wants to prove himself, step up! If you want to see how you fair at the top of the mountain, step up! But Oba will not take too kindly to their decision. Because he will be merciless, unforgiving, and relentless! He will punish them! They are not stepping to just any man, but to OBA FEMI! The fans cheer as Oba makes himself equal to a title! Will anyone be able to overthrow The Ruler?
Judgment Day is in the clubhouse.
Liv, Raquel & Roxie are still feeling great after what they did to Vaquer, because THEY run Raw! Vaquer found out the hard way, and so will BayLyra. Liv asks Raquel for time alone with Roxie. Is this about the thing? Yes, it is. Raquel says sure, she’ll go finish warming up. Raquel heads out, and Liv says hey to Roxie. Liv wanted to finish the conversation they tried having before WrestleMania. Remember? Before Vaquer smacked their heads together? Right, yeah. Well, really, Liv just wants to apologize to Roxie.
Liv is sorry for how things went down with Finn while she was gone. She knows Roxie and Finn were close, and that must’ve been hard watching from home. Liv knows how that felt, because she sat at home watching Finn bring Roxie into the group. And Liv wants Roxie to know that they are family, but Finn put himself before the family. That is not something Liv would do to Roxie, she wants to support her like Roxie supported Liv. So Liv will be in their corner and cheer them on as Roxie & Raquel get one step closer to the tag titles. Liv takes Roxie’s hand and asks, “Do you trust me, my little Roxie?”
Roxie nods yes, but then says she needs a second. Liv says okay, see you out there. Liv heads out, saying this is exciting. But Roxie doesn’t seem so sure. Wait, FINN is in the clubhouse?! Roxie tells him he’s not supposed to be here, but Finn says Roxie CANNOT trust Liv! In fact, she can’t trust anyone in the Judgment Day! Roxie asks if she can’t trust them, or can’t trust Finn. Roxie is with Judgment Day, she has a match coming up, so he has to go. Finn says good luck with the match, and hopes she knows what she’s doing. Finn leaves, but is The Prince right about them all?
Bayley & Lyra Valkyria VS Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez w/ Liv Morgan!
The Role Model & Morrigan fell short of the tag titles at WrestleMania, but Judgment Day wasn’t even in the match! Who proves themselves worthy of the next opportunity with a win tonight?
Raw returns as Judgment Day makes their entrance. The teams sort out and Bayley starts against Raquel. The fans rally as the two circle, tie up, and Bayley wrenches to wristlock. Raquel swings, Bayley ducks, and she puts on the pressure. Raquel powers Bayley to a corner, ROCKS her, then whips her corner to corner. Raquel runs up but Bayley BOOTS her! Bayley headlocks but Raquel blocks the takeover! Raquel lifts Bayley but Bayley fights that with fists. Bayley jumps to tornado takeover! They roll, Raquel fights up, and Raquel hits a BIG back suplex! Raquel looms over Bayley but hears the fans chanting, “We Want Roxie!”
Raquel points to the corner, the fans cheer, so Raquel tags Roxie! The fans cheer even more now as the Judgment Day mugs Bayley! Roxie stomps away, the fans cheer her on, but the ref counts. Roxie backs off, but Bayley lifts Roxie! Roxie kicks and flails but Bayley RAMS Roxie into the corner. Tag to Lyra, she and Bayley mug Roxie, and the fans boo. Lyra headlocks Roxie but Roxie pulls hair. Roxie headlocks and the fans cheer her on. Lyra powers out, but Roxie cartwheels over the dropdown! Roxie takes a bow, then SLAPS Lyra! Lyra CLOBBERS Roxie and rains down fists! Laredo boos but Lyra whips Roxie to ropes.
Roxie tilt-o-whirls through to RANA, but Lyra handsprings through that! Lyra SLAPS Roxie in return! Liv tells Bayley to shut up but Lyra whips Roxie to the corner. Roxie dodges, but Lyra grabs her by the wrist! Tag to Bayley, scoop and BACKBREAKER, but Roxie knees free! Roxie SMACKS Bayley, but Lyra WHEEL KICKS! Bayley goes back up, MACHO ELBOW! Cover, TWO! The fans cheer as Roxie survives, and she bails out to regroup with the others. Judgment Day avoids Lyra’s dropkick, and Raquel CLOBBERS her! But Bayley fires off on Roxie! Bayley puts Roxie in the ring, but Raquel trips Bayley up!
Bayley POSTS Lyra, all while Roxie distracts the ref! Judgment Day is in control as Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again as both Bayley and Raquel are down! The fans rally as both women crawl, Liv coaches Raquel, hot tags to Roxie and Lyra! The fans fire up, but then Lyra CROSSBODIES Roxie and GAMANGIRIS Raquel! Lyra LARIATS Roxie, dodges Raquel, and goes up to MISSILE DROPKICK! Lyra kips up, then clinches Roxie, NORTHERN LIGHTS! Roll through for the fisherman BUSTER! Cover, TWO! The fans cheer as Roxie survives! Liv coaches her team on but Lyra drags Roxie up. Lyra brings Roxie over, tags Bayley, and Bayley fireman’s carries while Lyra climbs. Roxie slips free, SHOVES Bayley into Lyra, then tags Raquel!
Roxie runs, tilt-o-whirls, and clinches, Raquel adds as BOOT to the LEG SWEEP! Cover, but Lyra SPLASHES onto it! The fans rally again and Raquel crawls, hot tag back to Roxie! The fans fire up again as Roxie BLASTS Lyra, SOBATS Bayley, then hops up and hops on! But Bayley SMACKS Roxie off buckles! Then a BAYLEY2BELLY! Cover, Raquel breaks it! The fans cheer, Lyra runs up and CROSSBODIES Raquel and herself out of the ring! Liv shouts at Bayley, but she gets caught! The fans cheer, but then Liv HOTSHOTS Bayley! Roxie SHINING WIZARDS! Then the POP-ROX!! Cover, Judgment Day wins!
Winners: Judgment Day, by pinfall
Laredo cheers their hometown hero, but it was certainly a team effort as always for Judgment Day! Will nothing stop them from having all the gold again?
Roman Reigns heads to the ring!
Laredo, Texas puts up their ones to the sky as The OTC makes his entrance. The WWE World Heavyweight Champion stands on stage, raises the title to the sky, and the pyro goes off. But what has he decided when it comes to him and Jacob Fatu? We’ll find out, after the break.
Raw returns as Roman is in the ring, and he raises the belt again for the second round of pyro. Roman grabs a mic while the fans chant “O T C! O T C!” The fans then shift to singing, “Roman, Roman Reigns~!” then go back to “O T C! O T C!” Roman enjoys that for a moment before he says, “Y’see, it’s been awhile since I’ve been here in Texas. But if you can’t tell from home, they love their Tribal Chief here, baby!” The fans cheer that! Roman continues by saying, “They made this title in spite of me. They made this title to try and take away from my shine. But it never worked. Y’see, there’s an old saying and it’s very true.
“The title don’t make the man, the man makes the title!” The fans cheer that, too! Roman says that’s what he’s done with this strap! He’s put it in the main event! He’s put it on night two of WrestleMania! He’s made this title relevant! See, now you can finally be proud of this title. Now you can respect this title! Now, you can actually choose to acknowledge this title. “As a matter of fact, let’s demonstrate. Laredo, Texas…!” The fans erupt with “O T C! O T C!” Roman says it again, “Laredo, Texas… ACKNOWLEDGE ME!” The fans cheer again! But then Jacob Fatu makes his entrance! The fans cheer again as The Samoan Werewolf arrives!
Jacob goes right to the ring while the fans chant “FATU! FATU!” Jacob and Roman stare down, and Roman says, “Fatu, right on cue. Perfect timing, I was just getting to you. I gave you a week, gave you time to think. I’m hoping you made the right choice, Jacob. I’m hoping you made the choice to unite our family, and not divide it.” Jacob has a mic to say Roman gave him a week but he didn’t need a week. He didn’t need a day. Hell, he didn’t even need an hour! He knew exactly what he wanted when he came out here last Monday. Jacob didn’t stutter, didn’t hesitate, when he said he doesn’t want the title, but that he needs the title.
What? Is Roman stuck in his WWE main event bubble? Is he stuck in Tribal Chief Land? Roman ain’t grind like Jacob! Jacob is uncut and raw! 12 YEARS of hard work, 12 YEARS of grinding, 12 YEARS of suffering, not knowing when the next meal was gonna be! While y’all was running things up here as The Bloodline, Fatu was foaming at the mouth, grinding, on the frontlines, trying to figure out if he was gonna be here or not! The fans cheer that, and Fatu says it ain’t how you start but how you finish. And that has Fatu standing here in front of Roman. So before WWE, Roman didn’t call, Jimmy didn’t call, Jey didn’t call.
You know who did call? Solo Sikoa! The fans boo that name but Jacob says Solo gave him a chance! Roman says, “Solo?! Either you’re completely confused or you’re dumber than I think. Solo couldn’t get a cup of coffee delivered to the building if he wanted to. Take a look around. Who you think runs this place?” The fans chant, “O T C! O T C!” Laredo ain’t lying, OTC runs WWE. And yeah, he’s been distracted, things get hectic around here, but Roman never forgot about Jacob. Roman signed off on Jacob. But Jacob’s sounding confused, sounding like a fool. Jacob doesn’t deserve it, he hasn’t earned it.
Roman allowing Jacob to compete against him is nepotism! And Roman can’t allow- JACOB GRABS ROMAN BY THE FACE! The fans freak out as the TONGAN DEATH GRIP grinds Roman down, but then Roman SMACKS him with the mic! Fatu just shakes it off?! TONGAN DEATH GRIP!! Roman sputters as Fatu HEADBUTTS away! Fatu chokes Roman right out, and he tells Roman, “I am going to take everything, EVERYTHING, from you!!” Fatu finally lets Roman go, and he picks up the belt. Fans are torn, but the decision should be clear now. Roman coughs and sputters but he grabs the mic to shout at Jacob!
“You want me at Backlash?! I’ll see you at Backlash!!” The fans cheer, and the match is made! The Samoan Werewolf has made The Tribal Chief into his prey, but will he have what he’s really after in the world title? Or will The OTC punish Fatu for this insolence?
My Thoughts:
A very good Raw that was a bit toned down on the action after that hot Raw After Mania. Great bookending with the OG Bloodline, though I’m not sure about the set-up of Roman & Usos sitting at the table that was more like a press conference table than a meeting. But Jimmy and Jey each having a different side of the argument was good, this builds a bit on what we saw before Mania when Jey was telling Roman to “get him” in reference to CM Punk. And great ending with Roman and Jacob, where Jacob is already done with talking, and he brings out a submission type move to make himself even more menacing. It’d be rather shocking of Fatu actually wins at Backlash, but I feel like Fatu losing and joining Roman is too much of a rehash of everything we’ve already seen in the Bloodline Saga.
Very good match from Penta VS Rusev, and very good win for Penta, but Ethan Page and Je’Von Evans getting involved made sense. That’ll be a great tag match, and I bet we’ll sort out who is challenging Penta for Backlash through that match. Very good promo from Rollins and Bron to set up their match, I appreciate Bron’s perspective because that is how it looked and felt and was definitely not how it should’ve been even in kayfabe. I feel like Bron wins out to then send him to the world title after Backlash. Another great song promo from Hendry, and honestly a great over-the-top angry reaction from Logan Paul for it. Profits helping Hendry out was logical and very good stuff, and Profits putting Rollins in his place was also good. But yeah, there’s gotta be a Six Man Tag there, too.
Waller getting upset only to get humbled by Oba is classic wrestling trope, and Oba making his own open challenge is also great. That’s in the same lineage as like Andre the Giant daring people to body slam him when he knows they couldn’t, or even Chris Masters and the Master Lock Challenge. This will give us some really fun matches while also building Oba up towards a title opportunity of his own. Becky wanting her own Open Challenge series is good, and Iyo challenging her tonight was probably their best way to improvise from releasing Kairi Sane and ruining their own story of Kairi, Iyo & Asuka. The fans are already starting #WeWantKairi, not sure WWE will listen this time, but Asuka VS Iyo is happening for Backlash and that’s all we can really expect.
Very good stuff with Los Americanos, this ended up a great plug for the AAA story of Mask VS Mask. Rey Mysterio being part of the story was good, too, and Rey keeps himself afloat with this win. Gable Americano of course got involved in the match, he and Kaiser Americano are even in math right now, but I would think Gable loses to finally be exposed. And great stuff with Judgment Day, from the attack on Vaquer to the tag match as the main event match. But I’m a little confused as to the Finn & Roxie part. Finn and Roxie should’ve discussed how their ultimate plan was still working. It should’ve been revealed that Finn really did bring Roxie into the group to mess with Liv x Dom. They can still have Roxie turn on Judgment Day in the most pivotal moment, but now it’ll be a bit confusing as to why.
My Score: 8.8/10
