PLAY BY PLAY
Someone’s hurt!
It’s chaos backstage as JEY USO is on a stretcher! Jey is being loaded into the ambulance while everyone is in an uproar! Jacob Fatu shouts you better find out who did this to his Uce! The Samoan Werewolf goes with the ambulance to the hospital and Cody Rhodes asks what is even happening! Nick Aldis says he has no idea, and Cody says they can’t keep letting this happen! They can’t let another person go down on the Road to WrestleMania! Aldis knows that, but then Trick Williams says, “Daaang~! What happened to Jey? Well, better him than me. One man down, four more to go. Y’all making this too easy for Trick Willy.”
Je’Von Evans takes offense, saying Trick must think it’s so funny Jey got hurt. Trick should watch himself or he’ll need one. Trick says Je’Von needs to mind his business while grown folks is talking! Aldis says hey, everyone needs to calm down! Then we hear Drew McIntyre on the speakers! “Four letters, one word, uh, uh… DREW!” The Undisputed Champion says he knows people like to put two and two together to get five, but he has NOTHING to do with what just happened to Jey, as hilarious as it is. But Drew knows how it goes: he tells the truth, yet he is guilty ’til proven innocent. The fans boo as Drew goes from crowd to ringside.
Drew says he has to buy a suite just to be at his own show! He’s like an outlaw champion! All he wanted to do was check out the competition for Elimination Chamber! Is that too much to ask? Cody is riled up hearing all this, but Drew says he’s the champion! He should be able to do what he wants when he wants, so he does! Aldis hurries to the stage to tell Drew not to get involved, to stay away, especially right before Elimination Chamber. And now, Drew needs to go to Aldis’ office. Not just because Aldis said so, but because there’s about 20 guys backstage who wanna rip Drew apart. And Aldis is this close to saying go for it.
Drew says he has a right to scout the competition! There’s six- Well, five men gunning for his title and- CODY RHODES storms out here! The fans fire up but Drew bails out of the ring. The American Nightmare shouts, “ENOUGH! ENOUGH! Drew, let’s just fight right here and right now!” The fans like that, but Drew says oh, that’s what Cody wants? Does Louisville want them to fight right now? “YES!” Then NO! This won’t benefit Drew, he’s already champion. But Cody, unlike you, Drew’s not a troublemaker. He follows the rules. He promised he’d leave, so he’s gonna leave. Drew is already at the back row of the floor level as he turns around.
Cody shouts, “You disengaging, recreant, witless, Scottish oaf! Your entire championship reign has been spent running like a little B*TCH!” That got Drew to turn back around! The fans go nuts, and Cody tells Drew that “no rematches,” right? Well, after Elimination Chamber, Cody- is interrupted by RANDY ORTON! The fans fire up as The viper makes his way out to the ring! Orton says check it out, okay, what happened to Jey, we saw it, it sucks. But Orton’s only concern is that at Elimination Chamber, Orton wins that sumbish, goes to WrestleMania, kicks Drew’s ass, and becomes a FIFTEEN-TIME WORLD CHAMPION!
And Cody, as far as they go when it comes to Chamber, Orton- is interrupted by TRICK WILLIAMS! The fans all chant, “WHOOP DAT TRICK!” as he makes his way out to the ring. Trick hast hem cut his music and says excuse him, he hates to do this, but you gotta understand. Trick Willy is the hottest thing int he business today, you feel him? That’s why Bruno Mars shouted out ya boy in his brand new album, makes Trick wanna cha-cha all the way tot he Chamber. But as for tonight, Trick sees these two, and since we are in the KFC Center, Trick figures he can add something to the menu. A little flavor!
So Trick brought his lemon pepper- Je’Von Evans interrupts! And he bops Trick on his way to the ring. The Young OG heard Trick talking crazy, so let’s talk crazy! They got history, but Evans is here to make a statement! He wants to be the youngest world champion, even beating Randy’s record! But then L A KNIGHT is here! The fans fire up as The Megastar makes his way to the ring! “LEMME TALK TO YA!” Knight asks if they’re down talking, cuz he hears empty promises and big talk, nightmare this, bouncy that, Viper this, lemon pepper moron idiot! But at the end of the day, we have less than 24 hours until Elimination Chamber!
And every sorry soul, they all belong to the man they call the Megastar! And then DREW, that mush-mouth moron, it’ll be Knight VS Drew, that title belongs to Knight! With everybody saying- “WHOOP DAT TRICK!” The fans are torn but Knight takes his sunglasses off. Knight asks Trick if he said “Whoop Dat Trick.” “YEAH!” Well okay. Knight DECKS Trick! The fans fire up for that, but then Trick drags Knight out! They brawl, and Knight sends Trick into barriers! They brawl up the ramp while the fans fire up! They even take this backstage! Evans likes that. Then R K O from Orton to Evans! Cody gets on his guard while the fans fire up!
Orton and Cody stare down, but The Apex Predator leaves it at this. Could they be the last two standing in the Chamber? And assuming Jey Uso can’t compete now, who will take his spot to complete the six pack?
Backstage interview with Tiffany Stratton.
Cathy Kelley is waiting on an update for Jey Uso, but speaking of Elimination Chamber, Cathy is now with the Wrestling Barbie. Cathy asks Tiffy that with the level of violence and brutality it takes, what are her thoughts on entering the Chamber tomorrow? Tiff says what happened to Jey sucks, but every woman in the locker room knows better than to come after her right now. It is WrestleMania season, and Tiff is ready to get her WWE Women’s Championship back, starting with winning Elimination Chamber. And she doesn’t have to look over her shoulder- Wait, The Kabuki Warriors step in, so Cathy steps out.
Asuka mocks Tiff in Japanese and Tiff says maybe she spoke too soon. Can she help Asuka? Asuka says Tiffy Time is over. Tomorrow night, no one is ready for Asuka! Oh, is that so? Well, Tiff feels like she’s ready. Is Asuka be ready to prove that Tiffy Time is done tonight? Asuka says, “Always.” Kairi also taunts Tiff’s outfit, “Are you a jellyfish?” Asuka then shouts for Kairi and Kairi follows. Will the Empress of Tomorrow reset Tiffy Time to zero just 24 hours before Elimination Chamber?
Uncle Howdy VS Solo Sikoa!
While everyone else is focused on Elimination Chamber, this is about something much more personal. Bo Dallas has warned the Would-be Tribal Chief that he will only get burned holding onto the Wyatt lantern, will the meltdown finally happen tonight? Or will Solo still have the whole WWE Universe in his hands?
SmackDown returns and Solo waits on Uncle Howdy. The lights go down, the fireflies come out, and the piano plays as Howdy makes his entrance. The rocking chair waits under the spotlight as Howdy emerges from the eerie light. As promised, the Wyatt Sick6 and MFT are staying backstage so that this can truly be a 1v1 confrontation. Howdy steps into the ring and the ref keeps Solo back. The lights come back up and the bell rings. The fans rally behind Howdy as he stares down with Solo. They circle, Solo points to the lantern to say it’s staying with him. The two tie up, are in a deadlock, but Solo manages to power Howdy back.
Howdy turns things around to have Solo in the corner, but he backs off as the ref counts. Solo shoves Howdy, but Howdy dodges the lariat! Howdy does the Wyatt spider bridge and that backs Solo off. Howdy says, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!” Solo and Howdy reset, circle again, and tie up. Solo headlocks and squeezes tight while he mocks the “Yeah yeah yeah!” The fans boo but Howdy fights up. Howdy powers up and puts Solo on ropes. Howdy then powers out, and they RAM shoulders! The two stare down again while the fans rally up. The two start throwing hands back and forth, and the fans cheer Howdy while they boo Solo.
Solo kicks low, HEADBUTTS, and Howdy goes to ropes. Solo storms up to whip Howdy, but Howdy ducks ‘n’ dodges to CLOBBER Solo! The fans fire up with Howdy and he clinches, but Solo shoves free of Sister Abigail! Solo bails out but Howdy goes out the side. Howdy storms up, but into an UPPERCUT! Solo then winds up, but Howdy ducks! Samoan Spike hits POST! And then Howdy SLAMS the arm against the post! And again! And again! The fans rally while Solo clutches his hand, but Howdy THROWS him into barriers! Howdy refreshes the ring count, then runs up to LARIAT Solo into the timekeeper’s area!
The fans cheer while Howdy stands tall. Howdy looks to the lantern, the prize in this fight, but he leaves it be. Howdy drags Solo up and CLUBS him against the commentary desk. Howdy SLAMS the bad hand off the desk, then puts him in the ring. Howdy storms in, stomps the bad hand, then bumps him off buckles. The fans rally for Howdy, “YEAH YEAH YEAH!” But Solo ROCKS Howdy! Solo RAMS Howdy face-first into buckles! Howdy flops to the outside while Solo mocks him, and SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Solo scowls while he catches his breath and checks his own eyes. The ring count climbs but Solo goes out to fetch Howdy. Solo THROWS Howdy into barriers, then soaks up heat while he holds up the lantern. Solo’s already gloating, but he puts the lantern back. Solo shakes out the bad hand before he puts Howdy in the ring. Solo still shakes out the bad hand before he steps back into the ring. He CLUBS Howdy, but that’s the bad hand! Solo shakes it out again, then HEADBUTTS Howdy. Howdy sputters but Solo HEADBUTTS again and again and again! The ref reprimands about pulling hair, so Solo stops.
Solo sits Howdy up to clamp on a shoulder claw! Howdy endures, but Solo also fights through the pain in his bad hand to use this move. Howdy fights up as the fans rally behind him, but Solo THROWS Howdy down by his hair! Solo clamps back on with the shoulder claw! Howdy endures all over again, but he fights back up for a JAWBREAKER! Solo wobbles, but he comes right back to clamp on the claw! Howdy endures but Solo HEADBUTTS him! Solo puts on the pressure but Howdy still endures. Howdy fights up as SmackDown returns to single picture. and Howdy fires body shots! Howdy is free and he ROCKS Solo!
Howdy runs, but into a SAMOAN DROP! Cover, TWO! The fans rally as Howdy survives, but Solo seethes and clutches the bad hand. Solo sits Howdy up for another shoulder claw! Howdy again endures, but the fans continue to rally up. Howdy fights to his feet once more, and he bends the fingers on the bad hand! The fans cheer as Howdy stands to ELBOW BREAKER! But Solo HEADBUTTS! Howdy ROCKS Solo, and ROCKS him again and again! Howdy has Solo in the corner for LARIAT after LARIAT! The fans cheer, Howdy runs side to side, but into a clinch! SPINNING SOLO URENAGE! Solo then drags Howdy to the drop zone!
Solo goes up, up, and FLYING SOLO SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Howdy survives and Solo is shocked! The fans fire up but Solo says stay down. Howdy stirs, slowly pushes up off the mat, but Solo raises his hand. But then he realizes he has something better! He clinches Howdy and gives him the kiss goodnight, but Howdy catches him into the MANDIBLE CLAW!! Solo endures, and he breaks free to SAMOAN SPIKE after all! Howdy falls into a corner, Solo runs in, HIP ATTACK! Solo keeps moving, HIP ATTACK again! Solo huffs ‘n’ puffs and keeps on moving, but into the clinch!! SISTER ABIGAIL!! Cover, Howdy wins!
Winner: Uncle Howdy, by pinfall
Victory for the ones who were wronged! Howdy picks up the lantern, but TALLA TONGA’S BOOT hits him from outta nowhere!! MFT again steals the lantern back! The Wyatts rush out here, but they’re one step behind MFT! The fans boo as Solo’s family welches on the deal! Will the Wyatts ever triumph over their enemies?
Nick Aldis escorts Drew McIntyre out of the building.
Supported by security, the SmackDown GM tells Drew that he has to get this through his head: Tomorrow night is Elimination Chamber; after that, Drew’s WrestleMania opponent is set. So just stay home and stay out of trouble! Drew says he’s not trying to make Aldis’ life any harder. They’ve known each other for a long time, and they’re both two guys from the UK! Aldis is the GM, Drew is the champion, they just need to be on the same page. Drew goes to the parking lot right as The Vision (or what’s left of it) walks in. Aldis sees Paul Heyman, Austin Theory & Logan Paul and has them all hold on. What can he do for them?
Heyman says first, he can give a better reception to his guests than that. Hello, Mr. Aldis. Aldis says hello, Mr. Heyman. See, that’s all this company needs! Another injury! And this one happened on Aldis’ watch. Aldis says he’ll try again, what do they want? Heyman says he wants to help Aldis out of the predicament he is in! Obviously, with Jey now hurt and taken out in an ambulance, there’s no way he’s going to be in Elimination Chamber. WWE needs someone else in that match, and they, The Vision, are going to secure the future of WWE by putting in one Logan Paul! Aldis chuckles at that obvious move.
Logan says you put him in Chamber, he will win it! He is the most important person this company has! He doesn’t care who is put in his way! One, two, three, four, all five, it doesn’t matter, Logan’s gonna win! Let him tell you this, and if it doesn’t convince Aldis, he doesn’t know what will. Logan then flexes. See that peak?! Aldis has his consent to kiss it. Put him in the Chamber! Aldis says it is so very convenient that Jey Uso was viciously attacked tonight, and then, moments later, we see Heyman’s face. Theory asks if that’s an accusation! Heyman holds Theory and Logan back, and he has Aldis understand, they’re trying to help Aldis out.
Logan Paul, Elimination Chamber, that checks every box. Well, despite the sales pitch, it is an interesting proposition. But as Heyman knows, there’s a lot of politics in play, so let Aldis make some calls. The GM heads out, and Heyman says Logan will win the Chamber, won’t he? Logan says obviously, he’s Logan Paul! The Maverick! Then after you, sir. Logan leads the way, and Heyman tells Theory to watch his temper. Despite their losses, will The Vision still define the future of the WWE? Or will there be a counterpoint to their argument?
Backstage interview with Rhea Ripley & Iyo Sky.
Cathy Kelley is now with the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, and brings up the match tonight against Nia Jax & Lash Legend, as well as Rhea having her part in the Women’s Elimination Chamber match, one of the most brutal matches in WWE. Is Rhea’s focus fractured going into tonight? Rhea says as much as she should be focused on Chamber, she has to take this one step at a time. Tonight, it is about #RheYo retaining the tag titles. Iyo says she has no doubt Rhea will win Elimination Chamber and become the NEW WWE Women’s Champion at WrestleMania! Rhea says yes, exactly! And they’ll win tonight, too, because they’re on the same page and have each other’s backs.
But then in steps Jade Cargill. She says this is cute. But no one will have Rhea’s back at Elimination Chamber, which should be her focus. So hopefully, Rhea doesn’t get hurt before tomorrow. Jade leaves, Rhea seethes, but does the champ have a point? Or will Mami, and The Genius, always be on top?
Nick Aldis finishes a phone call.
The GM thanks them for this and says they can call back any time. Then Jacob Fatu walks in. Aldis asks how Jey’s doing, and Fatu says what you mean? You saw how he got took off. But all fingers are pointing at Drew! Drew kicked Fatu’s teeth down his throat, he cost Fatu his qualifier, and now he’s cost Jey his spot! Fatu just wants Aldis to hear him out. Aldis has a Drew problem, Fatu has a problem with Drew. The solution is to put Fatu in the Chamber! Give Fatu a chance to prove himself! Hell, if we talking 2026 Elimination Chamber, Fatu should be part of that! But this is a conversation. Fatu’s walking into Elimination Chamber, he’ll win it, and he’ll walk out to WrestleMania, where he’ll solve the Drew problem.
Aldis says he will take this under consideration. but he has to make some calls. Fatu says he accepts that. Fatu leaves, Aldis gets back on the phone, will The Samoan Werewolf get to tear through five superstars all to get at the Scottish Terminator?
Asuka w/ Kairi Sane VS Tiffany Stratton!
The Empress said #TiffyTime is done, but the Princess said bet! Will no one be ready for Asuka this close to Elimination Chamber? Or will it simply be a matter of time before Tiff gets back to the top?
SmackDown returns and wait, Chelsea Green & Alba Fyre are here? They throw copies of the Chelsea Chronicle to the fans while “Slaygent A” wheels The Hot Mess around ringside. Chelsea now joins commentary while Asuka makes her entrance, Kairi by her side. Asuka has the mic to shout at Tiffany, “I’m smart. I am smart! I’M SMART! HAHAHAHA! So I’m resting before my Elimination Chamber match tomorrow!” What? Instead of Asuka, Tiffy now faces… KAIRI SANE~! It is NOT Tiffy Time, it is Kairi Time! IKE, KAIRI! GO GO GO! The Pirate Princess again plays pawn in Asuka’s game, but will she be able to soften Tiffy up for tomorrow?
Tiffany Stratton VS Kairi Sane w/ Asuka!
The bell rings and Kairi hits a THESZ PRESS! Kairi rains down fists but Tiff slips away. Chelsea enjoys this as Kairi builds speed, but Tiff ducks the dropkick! Tiff spins Kairi, ROCKS her, then pushes her in. Tiff hits the KNEE-BOARD SENTON! Cover, ONE!! Kairi is tougher than that but Tiff brings her up. Tiff whips Kairi to a corner, Kairi reverses, but Tiff goes up and over to handspring away. Kairi runs up but Tiff goes up and over again. Tiff keeps moving, she handsprings over Kairi’s dropdown, then things speed up. Kairi dodges to go up and RANA, only for Tiff to handspring through! The fans cheer and Tiff smiles at Kairi.
Kairi runs up, Tiff drops down to kip up, and Kairi is furious! But then Tiff drop toeholds Kairi onto ropes! Tiff runs to HIP ATTACK Kairi down! The fans cheer Tiff while Kairi bails out. Asuka checks on Kairi, but Tiff PLANCHAS right down on her! Tiff fires up, the fans are with her, and both Asuka and Chelsea are upset. Chelsea swears up and down her face didn’t react, she couldn’t react, she got Botox. Tiff and Asuka argue, and that lets Kairi URAKEN Tiff! Kairi then POSTS Tiff, and the Kabuki Warriors soak up heat while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and Tiff blocks a shot from Kairi. Tiff ROCKS Kairi again and again, then LARIATS! And LARIATS! And handsprings corner to corner to BACK ELBOW! Kairi staggers, Tiff cartwheels and Alabama Lifts, to ALABAMA SLAM! High stack, TWO! Kairi survives and Tiff grows frustrated. Chelsea looks worried but Tiff drags Kairi up. The fans rally behind Tiff and she fireman’s carries. ROLLING SENTON, then Tiff goes up, up, but Kairi trips her up! Kairi then pushes Tiff into the Tree of Woe before she climbs up the corner! Kairi CLUBS away as Tiff tries to sit up. Tiff and Kairi throw hands, Kairi HEADBUTTS Tiff!
Tiff is back in the Tree, and Kairi adjusts, for the WOE STOMPS! Kairi hurries to cover, TWO! Tiff survives and the fans fire up! Asuka is just as upset as Kairi, but the fans rally for Tiff as she goes to the corner. Kairi runs in, SLIDING D! Kairi then goes up the corner again, waits on Tiff to stand up, and she FLYING- NO, Tiff dodges the elbow! Cartwheel, Alabama Lift, but Kairi sunset flips it! Tiff rolls through, TIFFY STOMPS! Cover, TWO! Tiff is frustrated but Chelsea mockingly says it was that close. Kairi goes to the apron, Tiff runs up, but Kairi dodges the shoulder to AX KICK! Kairi drags Tiff to the apron, hooks a leg, but Tiff fights the lift!
Tiff suplexes Kairi, but Kairi counters with an APRON DDT! Both women are down while the fans rally up, and Asuka coaches Kairi. Kairi rises, she pushes Tiff in, and Kairi hurries up the corner. Kairi hits the FLYING KABUKI ELBOW! Cover, TWO! Tiff survives again and Kairi is stunned! Chelsea complains to Alba, but Kairi CLUBS Tiff. Kairi drags Tiff to the drop zone, goes back up the corner, and she vows to end it now! But Tiff pops up to SHOVE Kairi down onto Alba! Chelsea panics as her security is down! Tiff gets Kairi back in, but Chelsea shouts at Tiff. Tiff tells Chelsea to back off! Chelsea stands on the bad foot to get in Tiff’s face!
Kairi runs up from the apron! Tiff dodges, the FLYING KABUKI ELBOW CLOBBERS Chelsea!! Hot Mess down! Hot Mess down! Tiff hurries to get Kairi back up, laughs at Chelsea, then fireman’s carries Kairi. ROLLING SENTON, and now the PRETTIEST MOONSAULT EVER! Cover, Tiff wins!
Winner: Tiffany Stratton, by pinfall
Asuka is in disbelief, because Tiff got the better of her, Kairi, and the entire Green Administration! Will no one and nothing stop Tiff from winning Elimination Chamber?
The Vision is in the General Manager’s office.
The Oracle has Logan and Theory patiently waiting as Nick Aldis walks in. Aldis says once again, how convenient. Theory says this is a nice office. Aldis thanks him for that, and says that while he was looking for them all over the place, turns out they were here. Heyman says they were making it convenient for Aldis. Aldis says yes, well, good timing, because he has some news. He has discussed with Raw GM, Adam Pearce, and they’ve decided that Logan Paul will get his opportunity to compete in the Elimination Chamber. The Vision is fired up to hear that, but Heyman asks, “What’s the catch?”
Yes, nothing gets by Heyman. No, it doesn’t. Well, Logan has his opportunity if he wins his qualifier… against Jacob Fatu tonight! Heyman asks if Aldis is out of his freakin’ mind! Jacob Fatu!? Logan stops Heyman there and says he sold the world’s most valuable trading card and married the world’s most beautiful supermodel. He can handle the WWE’s most dangerous werewolf. This is Logan Paul, the winner of the 2026 Elimination Chamber. Aldis wishes him good luck. Logan says time to go. Theory says they don’t need luck. But will Logan need everything he’s got if he wants to survive said Samoan Werewolf?
Oba Femi VS The Miz!
The Ruler already dealt with the two-faced Tonic, Kit Wilson, and rather definitively at that. But now he deals with the Hollywood A-Lister that insists he’s the locker room leader. Will what Oba does to Miz truly be must-see?
SmackDown returns as Miz paces, and Oba makes his entrance! The fans already chant for “O~BA! O~BA!” The bell rings, Miz bails out, and the fans boo. Miz grabs a mic to tell Oba to hold on, they don’t have to fight. Miz slides in, but Oba steps on the hand holding the mic! Oba takes the mic to say Miz can get his own mic. Miz likes to talk, huh? Miz gets another mic and says they don’t have to have this match. No one wants this match! The fans cheer that they DO want this match! But Miz says this is a misunderstanding! As the locker room leader filling the John Cena sized hole in everyone’s hearts, that’s on Miz.
But let’s use this as a teachable moment. Twenty years ago, right down the street from this building, Miz was in WWE Developmental. And he was bright-eyed and bushy tailed, just like Oba! The fans chant “O~BA!” but Miz says excuse him, he is talking. Miz says he made the mistake of going right after the locker room leaders like The Undertaker or Triple H! He doesn’t want Oba making that same mistake. Miz will be the type of leader that takes Oba under his wing and guides him. Oba, let Miz be your Undertaker. Oba thinks on that, and says Miz wants to be Oba’s Undertaker? Yes, he does. There’s no resemblance, but Miz does look like a dead man to him!
Miz says or…! They can adopt the MIZ method: Master; Inspire; Zone-In! Master your emotions so you aren’t going after the guy trying to help you! Inspire on listening to a guy, a superstar, that main-evented WrestleMania! Zone-in on longevity! Don’t be a flash in the pan, let Miz help you inside and outside the ring! With ALL Miz’s connections, he could have this crowd and everyone the world forever chanting “O~BA!” The fans already chant that now! Oba still thinks on it, and says clearly, he doesn’t need Miz to get them chanting his name. But Oba will humor Miz for a second. Louisville, should Oba join forces with Miz? “BOO~!”
Will they become the Awesome Rulers? “BOO~!” Oba tells Mike, he’s dying tonight! Miz wants Oba to understand this is a teachable moment for him and everyone else! Miz teaches Oba how to be the bigger man and walk away. Miz turns to go, but Oba grabs his arm! Miz can’t run, so he SMACKS Oba! That’s even worse! Short arm LARIAT! The fans fire up for Oba and he drags Miz up from the apron! Miz HOTSHOTS free, then goes up a corner! AX HAN- BODY BLOW! Oba turns that around on Miz, then runs in for the UPPERCUT! Oba keeps moving, but Miz dodges! Full nelson and- NO, Oba blocks the Finale!
Oba roars, powers up, and SHOTPUTS Miz away! The fans fire up with Oba, and he gets Miz back up, to FALL FROM GRACE! Cover, Oba wins!
Winner: Oba Femi, by pinfall
The Hollywood A-Lister wanted to teach Oba, but perhaps Miz just learned a lesson: Don’t look down on a man so much bigger than you. Will no one and nothing stop The Ruler from taking over the WWE?
Carmelo Hayes finds Ilja Dragunov backstage.
And to the United States Champion’s surprise, The Russian Dragon isn’t in his gear! Melo asks what’s going on, didn’t they talk about it last week? Ilja says he won’t fight tonight. Why not? What is it? Ilja says he did not succeed against Tama Tonga, and has not been successful lately. So he just doesn’t feel he deserves the shot. But honestly, do not worry, he will come for this title in time, and he will let Melo know when that is. But for tonight, Ilja wants Melo to go out there, win, and show everyone why he is H1M. But Melo says screw that! This is the second week in a row that Ilja’s given Melo this pep talk!
Ilja doesn’t need to pep talk Melo, he needs to give himself that talk! Ilja needs to remember who he is, because yeah, opportunities like this come every week right now. But nothing lasts forever. So if Ilja doesn’t take his shot when he can, someone else will. Melo heads out, who will step to H1M in place of The Czar?
WWE United States Championship Open Challenge: Carmelo Hayes VS ???
SmackDown returns as Melo waits in the ring. The one answering the challenge tonight is… Matt Cardona! He’s #AlwayZReady, but will he once again be a champion?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who’s truly complete!
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. Cardona and Melo shake hands and the fans cheer the sportsmanship. They tie up, Cardona rolls Melo up, TWO! Cardona says it was that close, and that he’s gonna get the gold. The two reset, tie up again, and Melo waistlocks, cravats, then snapmares to a ghost pin, ONE! The two reset and Melo says that’s why he’s got the gold. Cardona applauds, and the two reset. They tie up, Cardona headlocks, but Melo powers up and out. Cardona RUNS Melo over, then gets moving, but Melo drops down. Cardona stops the hip toss but Melo avoids the lariat!
Melo KICKS Cardona’s backdrop away, then runs the ropes, only to run into a DROPKICK! Cardona covers, ONE! Cardona eggs Melo on, brings him around, then headlocks. Melo endures the grind, powers Cardona to ropes, but he can’t power out as Cardona holds tight! Melo tries again, gets free, and drops down to hurdle over. Melo ducks a shot to DROPKICK back! Then DROP- NO, Cardona avoids that one to basement BOOT! Melo sputters while the fans rally up, and Cardona drags Melo around. Cardona turns Melo to the NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO!

Cardona wrenches Melo to then RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP him into barriers! Melo slumps down while Cardona stands up. Cardona brings Melo back to the ring, drags him up for a KNEE down low, then another KNEE! Melo sputters while Cardona talks trash. Cardona pie faces Melo, eggs him on again, but Melo CHOPS! Melo whips, Cardona reverses, and Cardona FLAPJACKS Melo! Cover, TWO! Cardona is annoyed but he stands over Melo while he talks more trash.
Cardona puts Melo in the corner, RAMS him, then whips him corner to corner. Melo hits buckles hard, and he clutches his side from the impact. Cardona storms up on Melo to whip again, but Melo reverses! Melo runs up but into DOUBLE KNEES! Melo staggers away, Cardona turns him, NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Cardona grows frustrated now, but he HIP DROPS Melo down. Cardona looms over Melo, sits him up, and crossface forearms! Cardona stalks Melo to a corner, then digs his knee in. The ref counts, Cardona steps back, but stomps Melo down! Cardona again digs his knee in, but stops as the ref counts.
SmackDown returns to single picture as Cardona again digs his knee into Melo’s face! The ref reprimands, Cardona stops, and Cardona goes to the adjacent corner. Cardona runs up, BROSKI BOOT! Then CATAPULT GUILLOTINE! Melo writhes, Cardona covers, TWO! Melo tough sit out but Cardona is right on him. Cardona suplexes, and he hands Melo out to dry! Cardona BLASTS Melo down and the fans are torn. Cardona lines up another shot, he builds speed, and he WRECKS Melo with a dropkick!

The crate has returned.
Again, it’s not to be opened until tomorrow night at Elimination Chamber, but everyone wants to know what’s going on. In fact, R-Truth walks in and asks what’s up with everybody else. Truth knows they wanna know what’s in the crate, but that’s why you gotta watch Elimination Chamber tomorrow on the ESPN App. And he bets they wanna know how to do that, too. Angel says Truth already told them this months ago. Truth says he never met them a day in his life. But he has a surprise! Keep the pants on, Angel. Make sure you’re already signed up for ESPN Unlimited. Truth runs them through the steps, and they can stream right away!
Truth says Fenix looks like an unsatisfied customer. He’ll turn that frown upside-down. Fenix must be one of those big TV provider types. Well, you already get the ESPN Unlimited Plan! Go to Activate.ESPN.com and save those pesos! Any WWE PLE, any time, anywhere! Wait, hold on, Candice LeRae is wheeling Johnny Gargano around again. She says she has no time for this, she has her match up next! Snap out of it, Johnny! Everyone else gets a great laugh seeing Johnny Wrestling being Johnny Depression, and Truth says time to wake up! But then Kit Wilson shouts that THEY need to wake up! That vulnerability is strength, not weakness!
Johnny Gargano is trying, which is more than Kit can say for the locker room. Each and everyone of them is… TOXIC!! Fenix fixes Kit’s vest for him while the others laugh at Kit. But will the Poison Pixie be able to handle things her way tonight? Or will the Juggernaut run right through her on this Road to WrestleMania?
Jordynne Grace VS Candice LeRae w/ Johnny Gargano!

And Gargano’s still walking up the ramp! What will it take to snap him out of his funk? As for Grace, what will her next move be on the Road to WrestleMania?
Backstage interview with Raquel Rodriguez.
Cathy Kelley is with Big Mami Sexy and brings up that a couple weeks ago, it was alluded to that she and Liv Morgan could walk out of WrestleMania both champions. What would that mean for Raquel and Judgment Day? Raquel says she and Liv reigning on both brands would obviously mean that Judgment Day runs WWE. As it should! But for now, she’ll focus on what she does need to win Elimination Chamber. Jade interrupts Raquel now, saying she should focus on herself. Raquel laughs at that but Jade promises her, Liv ain’t worried about Raquel. Liv made a good choice choosing Stephanie Vaquer, but she damn sure set Raquel up to fail.
Because if Raquel wins Elimination Chamber, Jade’s gonna embarrass her at WrestleMania. Raquel says don’t get ahead of yourself, campeona. See you soon. Raquel heads out, but then Mia Yim & B-Fab step in. Look at that! Jade’s making friends everywhere. Jade turns around to ask if they said something, but then sees the kendo stick. Mia says that everyone’s coming after Jade, including the Hardcore Princess, aka Mia. But Jade doesn’t even need to sweat it, she might not even be champion by WrestleMania. Well, if Michin’s gonna do something about it, then do something. Mia says she will, but B-Fab says she’ll get the chance.
Jade leaves, but when and where will she and the Head Baddie in Charge run it back?
Jacob Fatu prepares backstage.
Cody Rhodes walks over, and he knows this might sound funny, but for what it’s worth, he hopes to see Fatu in there. Cody then turns to go, only to see Sami Zayn. Sami says hey. They shake hands, and Cody heads out. Sami then talks to Fatu. He knows Fatu has the match and all, but how’s Jey doing? Not too good. Sami says the thing is, he knows he didn’t do it. But he can’t 100% say the same… about Fatu. Fatu looks Sami dead in his eyes and asks what he means. Well, it just looks a bit funny. Fatu’s right there when Jey goes down. Jey is taken away in an ambulance, taken out of Elimination Chamber, and Fatu’s the one going to Aldis to take Jey’s spot.
And Sami gets it, ever since Fatu came back, all he’s had on his mind is getting his hands on Drew. But he’s left nothing but chaos and destruction everywhere he’s gone! Sami sees Jey down, Fatu getting a second chance, what is Sami to think? Fatu says Sami better be very careful with what he says next. Sami asks, “Or what? I’ll end up in the hospital with Jey?” Sami gets that Fatu wants after Drew, but he’s not the only one! Sami wants after Drew! Fatu wasn’t the only one that lost their Elimination Chamber qualifier, so did Sami! Drew didn’t just screw Fatu, he screwed Sami! Fatu shouts, “Screwed who, Sami?! Screwed YOU!?”
HELL NAH! If anyone got screwed, it was Fatu! Drew Claymore’d Fatu, then he went after Cody! The only one that didn’t get Claymore’d was SAMI! So Sami is talking about Drew screwing him over? NAH! If anything, Drew was helping Sami! And if there’s anyone pointing fingers, maybe Fatu should be watching Sami. Sami takes a moment before he says Fatu’s right. Sami is sorry, okay? His head hasn’t been on right lately, so Fatu does deserve this second chance. Win it for Jey. Fatu heads out, and Sami is seething. Sami FLIPS a table, SMACKS some water, and grips at his own hair. What is Sami to do about all the frustrations building in his heart?
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships: Rhea Ripley & Iyo Sky VS Nia Jax & Lash Legend!
These teams tried to have it out for these titles before, but that ended with a double count-out that then turned into a demolition derby! Hopefully the controlled chaos will be a bit more contained this time around, especially with Elimination Chamber less than 24 hours away. But will #RheYo make it through the Irresistible Forces to continue down the Road to WrestleMania? Or will their luggage be just a bit lighter going forward?

Rhea aims, CANNONBALL to the floor! The fans fire up with Rhea while SmackDown goes back to break.
SmackDown returns again as Nia holds Rhea back from her corner! Rhea fires body shots, reaches out, but Nia still holds Rhea back! Rhea ducks the lariat, but Nia catches Rhea’s jump! Nia HEADBUTTS Rhea down, then BLASTS Iyo for good measure! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but Nia just drags Rhea up by her collar. Nia TOSSES Rhea out, tags Lash, and both Irresistible Forces go out to POST Rhea! Rhea flops down but Lash gets her back up. Lash then feeds Rhea to Nia’s fireman’s carry! SAMOAN DROP on the desk!

Winners: Nia Jax & Lash Legend, by pinfall (NEW WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions)
The Irresistible Forces were indeed unstoppable! Rhea & Iyo pushed themselves past their limits, and now they’ve lost the gold! Does this foreshadow things to come in the Elimination Chamber?
Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss are backstage.
The Queen has about three cartons of ice cream so she can “eat her feelings,” and she’s even more upset seeing Nia & Lash are now tag team champions. Lil’ Miss Bliss knows, she also saw. Charlotte says it’s fine, it’s totally fine. Does she mean that like how she’s “fine” with Alexa as the only one in the Chamber? Alexa wants Charlotte to know it is okay to not be okay. Charlotte says yeah, it’d be okay if she wasn’t okay, but she’s so okay right now. Her bestie might be going to WrestleMania, so she couldn’t think of a finer situation. But then Kiana James & Giulia walk in, and Miss Management says this is not fine.
But Alexa, let’s hope you’re as good a competitor as you are an actress. Because your ability to pretend that this is all fine is commendable. Oh, so Kiana is okay with Giulia not being in Chamber? Because when Giulia randomly screamed in Alexa’s face, it seems Giulia is really well-adjusted. Giulia says she’s just passionate. Kiana agrees, Giulia is passionate about things that matter to her, like being Women’s United States Champion, Kiana becoming Women’s Champion, and then the two of them becoming tag team champions. They’ll have all the gold, and Alexa will have someone to eat ice cream with. Charlotte says Kiana can’t have any! Kiana says she doesn’t want any!
They all argue, but Jade steps in. Jade says this is all so messy! Anyway, to the two of them going into Chamber, Jade just wants to say… Good luck. Jade heads out, Charlotte sobs, but then Charlotte insists she’s okay. Will either Kiana or Alexa survive the Chamber in Chicago to then chase The Storm in Las Vegas?
Aldis finishes a text.
And Solo Sikoa storms over, MFT with him. He asks what the hell! Is this how you treat your tag team champions, Nick? Do something about the Wyatt Sick6, always coming out there each and every week! Um, sorry, what Aldis saw was Solo lose fair and square, then MFT jumped Howdy after. So maybe we should do something about Solo, or more specifically, these WWE Tag Team Championships. They haven’t been defended enough for Aldis’ liking. So next week on SmackDown, we determine the new #1 contenders. How does that sound? Solo says good! Bring anyone! Bring everyone! They’ll smash ’em all!
MFT storms off, but with as many teams that are hungry for their shot, who will get their golden opportunity on the Road to WrestleMania?
Backstage interview with Nia Jax & Lash Legend.
Cathy Kelley is with the Irresistible Forces as they celebrate their victory. Mission accomplished, congratulations- Yes, congrats to them! Nia is now a THREE-TIME Women’s Tag Team Champion! And good luck to anyone trying to take these from them! Lash just won her very first WWE title! Lash says that’s right, the first of many. And best believe they’ll celebrate the biggest and baddest way here on SmackDown! Cathy can’t wait, but Nia says Cathy’s not invited. The new champions snap their fingers and head out, but will they be partying all the way to Las Vegas?
Randy Orton encounters Aleister Black & Zelina Vega.
The Dark Father wonders if the Black Mass woke up something inside of The Viper. La Muneca asks if it is his anger. Aleister says if it is, he hopes Orton uses it well. Orton laughs and says he is sick and tired of them. They think they know what’s going on in his head? HE doesn’t even know what’s going on in his head half the time! The voices are starting to talk more and more and more. Orton isn’t sure if it’s because of Aleister, though Aleister sure seems to want that. But Orton knows this: He has a switch he can flip whenever he wants. If Aleister wants that anger, he should be be careful what he wishes for.
In fact, after Elimination Chamber, Orton will find Aleister. Orton heads out, but Zelina smiles as Aleister says of course Orton will; they planned it this way. The devious duo takes their leave, will their darkness make Orton #FadeToBlack soon enough?
Men’s Elimination Chamber Qualifier: Logan Paul VS Jacob Fatu!
No Bron Breakker, no Bronson Reed, but The Maverick vows to carry the torch for The Vision. Meanwhile, the Samoan Werewolf is on a mission to go after Drew McIntyre and finally get even with him. Jey Uso’s attacker is still a mystery, but will we finally have a clear picture of the Men’s Elimination Chamber match?
SmackDown returns as Fatu makes his entrance. The bell rings and Theory gets on the apron already! Fatu runs him off but Logan goes after Fatu! Logan throws hands, puts Fatu i a corner, then runs to UPPERCUT! Fatu goes to another corner, Logan runs in, for another UPPERCUT! Logan whips, Fatu reverses, but Logan KICKS the backdrop away! Fatu just fires up and LARIATS back! And LARIATS again! And SENTONS! The fans fire up with Fatu, and he runs up on Logan to SPLASH! Fatu climbs up and rains down HEADBUTTS! The fans count along, and Fatu goes to TEN! Fatu then whips Logan to ropes so he can BODY CHECK him!
The fans stay fired up for Fatu as he storms around. Logan goes to the ropes but Fatu CHOPS him! Logan flounders, but Fatu UPPERCUTS him! Fatu shouts, “ALL GAS, NO BRAKES WITH IT!” Fatu UPPERCUTS again and Logan goes to a corner. Fatu runs Logan side to side to SMACK him off buckles! Logan flounders away but Fatu is back on him. Fatu SMACKS Logan off more buckles, then revels in the cheers from the fans. Fatu runs corner to corner and SPLASHES Logan! Logan flops against the ropes then flounders back up. Fatu runs in, and he LARIATS Logan up and out! The fans cheer and Fatu nods. Fatu builds speed to DIVE! Down goes Logan at the ramp!
The fans are with Fatu as he’s all fired up, and SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Fatu drags Logan up, brings him around, and SMACKS him off steel steps. Logan flounders but Fatu brings him back up. Fatu SMACKS Logan off the steps again, and Logan slumps against the apron. Fatu glares at Theory, refreshes the ring count, then stands Logan up. Logan blocks the steel step bump to SMACK Fatu off them now! Fatu staggers away but Logan follows, and he SMACKS Fatu off the steps again! Logan refreshes the ring count now, and he kicks Fatu low. Logan whips Fatu, but Fatu reverses! Logan hits barriers hard! Logan falls in a heap and Fatu revels in the cheers. Fatu lines up a shot, runs in at Logan, but Theory drags Logan to safety!
Fatu hits barriers, and Logan hurries to POST him! Fatu goes down in a heap now but Logan leaves him behind. Logan argues with the ref, and this lets Theory get cheap shots in!

Winner: Logan Paul, by pinfall (advances to the Elimination Chamber)
The Scottish Terminator again breaks his promise, he just screwed Fatu over all over again! And now, like it or not, Logan Paul is in the Elimination Chamber. Are things about to get ImPAULsive in Chicago? Will anyone ever stop Drew from doing what he wants to do?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown, especially for the go-home episode to Elimination Chamber. There were some really wild moves tonight that honestly do make a lot of sense. First, a new whodunnit of someone attacking Jey Uso is a very clever way to adjust course after Bronson Reed got hurt on Monday. Firstly, Jey wasn’t meant to be in Elimination Chamber, he’s got the WWE World Tag Team Championships to handle, so we can get back on that with this Monday. Secondly, we get a Vision member back in Chamber, and because Bron & Bronson are both out, Logan getting this moment is fine, I don’t see him winning the Chamber anyway.
And that is because of the overall Vision story, and how they’re still trying to tease a Seth Rollins return and some other twists. Logan VS Fatu was a great main event for being “impromptu,” but I did not see “Masked Man” being unmasked here. And also, it wasn’t Seth Rollins, because yeah, Seth Rollins is still not 100%. Or maybe he is, and “Masked Man” shows up tomorrow night and THAT is Rollins, making Jack Cartwheel a decoy to lower everyone’s guard. Rollins can cost Logan during Chamber like he did to CM Punk last year, and maybe Theory reveals himself as the mole, establishing themselves as “The True Vision” or something like that.
As for the “whodunnit” on Jey, I kinda want this to be another name on Cody Rhodes’ hands. Drew has said up and down that he didn’t attack Fatu, and it’d just be too easy if it was Drew all along. Now, Drew constantly breaking his promise by returning after leaving and all that, that could be its own misdirection. They want us to think it’s still Drew, but it just can’t be, it’s too boring. Cody being the villain all along is the best move, we can get on some kind of Heel Cody run after Mania. Sami continues to be conflicted, that’s great story there, and Sami is certainly going to snap at some point, so either Heel Sami or Gritty Face Sami is going to be great stuff.
We got great stuff in that opening promo following Jey being attacked. LA Knight and Trick Williams might take each other out of Chamber to then have a feud of their own. Orton of course hits someone with an RKO and Evans was gonna be the one. Orton had a good promo with Aleister & Zelina, that’s obviously the feud going into WrestleMania. Oba and Miz probably didn’t need to have a promo as part of their match, but it was still a good promo and a good match. Oba of course won, and there are still quite a few possibilities for what he does at WrestleMania. Maybe he accepts the Brock Lesnar open challenge and “shocks” everyone by winning.
Very good crate promo integrating with Truth’s newest ESPN Unlimited tutorial promo. Not sure we really need that second part, but then everyone laughing at Gargano, and Kit Wilson trying to white knight for Gargano was all great stuff. Very good match from Grace VS Candice, and I figured Grace would win that. Very good match from Howdy VS Solo, but I should’ve known MFT would snatch the lantern away. The tag title contenders match should be some great stuff, but I hope they get the lantern off MFT ASAP. Maybe the Wyatts can distract MFT by taking the lantern back, and that costs them the titles to like Fraxiom or MCMG.
Very good promo from Melo with Ilja, and great match from Melo VS Cardona. Another great win for Melo, and depending on how they want to play this, we could get Melo VS Ilja or Melo VS Tama for WrestleMania. Both options would be awesome, but it also depends on how the MFT story unfolds. Jade Cargill going around putting all her possible challengers on notice was good stuff. Of all the choices to win the Chamber, it does still feel like Tiffany wins. Tiff got a great match with Kairi Sane after that bait ‘n’ switch by Asuka, and they even kept the Tiff-Chelsea feud strong through it.
The women’s tag title match was awesome stuff, and that’s a great win for Nia & Lash. We can still get the tag title match with many teams at once, but hard to say if Rhea & Iyo stick together. The fans still really like them both so I don’t see a turn happening for either, but who knows. They could probably start on that build next week after Chamber sorts out WrestleMania. And if any team crashes the party, it should actually be Bayley & Lyra Valkyria, as Bayley has been voicing her character’s (and maybe her own real) frustrations about being excluded during all these other title match opportunities.
My Score: 8.8/10

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! Myles stops from hitting ropes, but Saquon gets around for the NECK JACKER! Myles goes to a corner, Saquon runs up again, but Myles dodges again! Saquon tumbles off buckles, and Myles kicks him low. Myles reels Saquon in for the X-PLEX! The fans rally as Myles then deadlift GUT WRENCH PLEXES! Saquon tumbles again while the fans fire up. Myles storms up but Saquon BOOTS him! Saquon runs, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! Saquon bails out and DarkState regroups.
But wait! Myles goes AIR BORNE! Down go Saquon & Osiris while the fans fire up! Myles puts Saquon in, but Cutler drags him out! Myles ROCKS Cutler, then he CHOPS Saquon! Myles ROCKS and whips but Saquon avoids the dropkick! Saquon grins and runs up to RAM Myles! Saquon climbs up, he rains down fists, but Myles carries him away! Atomic drop! And LARIAT! 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. Saquon hurdles over the backdrop, but turns around into a HIP TOSS! Myles still coughs, and Saquon UPPERCUTS him! Saquon KNEES Myles in the back and Myles is on the ropes! Saquon runs to BLINDSIDE LARIAT! Then slingshot LEG DROP! Cover, TWO! Saquon clamps on with a chinlock and he grinds Myles down. The fans rally while Dion coaches Saquon on the squeeze. Myles fights up, but Saquon wrangles him again! Saquon adds a top wristlock into the hold!
The fans rally again and Myles fights back up. Myles fires body shots, then he runs up in the corner, but Saquon puts him up top! Saquon ENZIGIRIS, then mocks the fans cheering Myles. Saquon climbs up, he neck wrenches Myles, then goes to the very top! The fans rally as Saquon stands Myles up for a SUPER DUPER- CROSSBODY COUNTER!! Cover, TWO!! Saquon survives Myles turning this around and the fans fire up! The fans rally as both men rise, and Myles hobbles his way over to Saquon. But Saquon fights the dragon sleeper to victory roll! TWO, Myles has it, TWO! DROP- NO! Saquon blocks the kick, but Myles twists for a cradle, TWO!
Saquon hits a headlock takeover, Myles headscissors, but Saquon pushes to a jackknife bridge, TWO as Myles bridges up! Myles spins things to a backslide, TWO! Myles reels Saquon in, dodges the lariat, but Saquon UP KICKS while he skins the cat! But Myles DROPKICKS a mile high! The fans fire up as Saquon flops down! The fans fire up as Myles LARIATS again and again! Then EYE OF THE HURRICANE! Myles is all fire dup, kick and FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect, and now Dion gets on the apron! 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!
Stacks rushes in, the bell rings, and Sean dodges to headlock. Stacks powers up and out, Legacy rolls through the hip toss, then trips Stacks up for a DOUBLE STOMP! And DROPKICK! 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! Legacy blocks Uriah’s kick, hands it to Stacks, then he SUPERKICKS Stacks! Then a GERMAN SUPLEX for Uriah! The fans fire up as Legacy stands Uriah up, CHOPS him, and CHOPS again! Uriah sputters but Legacy snapmares for a KICK to the back! Cover, TWO!
Legacy keeps Uriah from his corner, brings him over to EK and EK tags in. EK goes up, up, and DOUBLE STOMPS Uriah on the back! The fans fire up as EK headlocks but Uriah powers out. Stacks tags in, they drop down and hurdle, but EK ducks the double lariat to NO HAND HANDSPRING! Birthright dodges, but EK comes back to DOUBLE DROPKICK! The fans fire up with EK, and he runs up on Uriah. Uriah puts him on the apron, Stacks trips EK up, and EK hits apron! Uriah BLASTS legacy , then he DIVES! Down goes EK, and then Stacks PLANCHAS! The fans boo but Birthright proves they can fly! They also stand tall while NXT goes to break.

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.

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.
