Outside the arena we see a car speed into the scene and screech to a halt. Triple H gets out and is immediately met by half a dozen security guards but he plows through them and decimates them all very quickly. He then enters the building, slamming the door behind him.

Last week on Smackdown: We’re shown a replay of Triple H standing up to Mr. McMahon only to be blindsided and choked out by the Big Show. We then hear McMahon’s voice over announcing the title match at Backlash as Big Show stands over an unconscious champion.

We see Hollywood Hogan arriving at the building. As he gets out of his sports car suddenly Hall and Nash run into the scene from his blindside. He tries to fight them off but they’re too much with the advantage they started with. They open his trunk and slam it on his head. Hogan is left in a heap as the nWo walk into the building with a ‘too sweet’ gesture high in the air.

What mod is this using? Is it Genadi's 2002 for 2016? ---We're using a modified version of Fleisch's 2002 for 2020.

On the heels of what she just said this is as good a time as any for us to tell all of you about our pledge. Our last few projects have covered about a year worth of game time each but with this one we've decided to set the finish line, at the very least, to be WrestleMania 25. That's 7 game years from now. Even if we have to take a break or slow down this is what we are going to return to. I know we're both excited to see how the game world and our rosters evolve over the years.

I think it was a case of real life WWE just beating us down. Our readers were overly gracious not to hold real booking and stupid decisions against us but it got to the point where even we didn't want to deal with them. We gave it some time and some thought and turned our eyes to this era where the potential was sky high. We hope you enjoy this one.

In our worldl the last canon event was WM18 and we're beginning april week 1 so those 2 weeks of.march are a void aside from the draft taking place.

The First WWE Draft began on Raw on Monday March 18, 2002 and concluded two nights later on Smackdown. The animosity between Flair and McMahon was self-evident and at the end of the night Undisputed Champion Triple H considered both options before signing with Smackdown. As McMahon taunted Flair over this major signing, the Nature Boy floored his fellow owner with a right hand before leaving the ring. His parting words to the champ…. “You’re gonna regret this.”

MONDAY NIGHT RAW APRIL WEEK 2 PAYCOM CENTER OKLAHOMA CITY, OK The Hurt Business comes to the ring and MVP quickly gathers a microphone. “What do you get when you mix the Almighty with a Colossus? You get an undefeated WrestleMania and a dominant performance by the Hurt Business. The Almighty Raw World Champion Bobby Lashley dominated a sixteen time world chump, sorry I mean champ. And then Omos took a true Hall of Famer like AJ Styles and crushed him under his boot like a bug. Look long and hard ladies and gentlemen because we’re not going anywhere for a long long ti……. Big E walks down to the ring and gathers a microphone. “Champ, all due respect you handled your business, no pun intended, and you proved what kind of a man you are. But I’m a man too and I’m going to do this as a man. I won’t be cashing in behind your back or when you’re hurt. I challenge you to a Raw World Championship match in three weeks. And I’m telling you this to your face because I want you to know that you’re going to lose and I want you to spend the next three weeks living with it.” Big E leaves the ring as MVP bad mouths him but Lashley is staring at hole through him A replay of Big E interrupting the Hurt Business and laying down the challenge is shown. NATALYA VS KIMBER LEIGH A very good back and forth match which sees both women hold the advantage. Kimber shows off some very athletic moves but Natalya is the ultimate veteran and once she focuses on her opponent’s weak spot she wears Leigh down for the Sharpshooter. WINNER BY SUBMISSION: NATALYA Alexa Bliss and Carmella are shown in a video lounging poolside at a luxury spa. They gush about how remarkable they are and how untouchable they are as Raw Women’s Tag Team Champions. Clearly nobody can touch them so they’re taking a vacation. See ya later…losers. New Raw Intercontinental Champion King Nakamura is walking backstage when he stops and when the camera pans we see why….. Seth Rollins steps forward from the group. “Shin…congrats man. I know I don’t deserve it but I’d love the honor being in the ring with the new Intercontinental Champion.” Nakamura watches them all carefully before giving a slow nod. Rollins is all smiles but the rest of the Trinity are stoic. SAMOA JOE VS APOLLO CREWS W/COMMANDER AZEEZ Crews is still stinging from the loss last night and Joe is still sore from his victory. Apollo uses both to his advantage early on but Joe waits for an opening and when Apollo goes to the second rope, Joe catches him before hitting a muscle buster but Crews kicks out. Still stunned, Apollo is wide open for Joe’s strikes which light him up. As Joe prepares for the Kokina Clutch, Azeez pulls Apollo out of the ring and they’re happy to take the countout loss. WINNER BY COUNT OUT: SAMOA JOE Azeez has his back to the apron but Joe still wants to fight. Joe reaches between the ropes and applies the Kokina to Azeez. The big man flails around and Joe finally lets him go. We see backstage that Nikki A.S.H. is running down a hallway. She’s looking behind her in terror as she quickly jumps into a room and slams the door. We hear the click as it locks then a blood curdling scream. The camera pans down and a black ooze seeps from under the door. Backstage we see JBL and he’s almost giddy. He tells people buzzing around him to bring in more champagne because tonight he becomes the most powerful man in sports entertainment. TONY DEPPEN VS ALEXANDER HAMMERSTONE Short and sweet, Hammerstone wastes no time in dominating Deppen with his power and after hitting some familiar looking signature moves, brother, he goes to the top and hits the moonsault for the win. WINNER BY PINFALL: ALEXANDER HAMMERSTONE Corey Graves sits down with the one and only role model of WWE Bayley. They talk about her long road back from a serious injury. She says there was a time she thought she might be done but she’s back now, better than ever and that means it’s time to get back in that ring and show every single person why she’s the best at what she does. Graves asks her when her first match will be and she tells him next week in fact. So, ding dong! Hello? Bayley’s back! Chad Gable and Otis come down to the ring. Gable says after many tryouts and an exhaustive search he and Otis are proud to announce the newest scholarship athlete of the Alpha Academy……Parker Grace! The female powerhouse walks out to the ring and shakes both their hands in preparation for her first match. SOLO DARLING VS PARKER GRACE W/CHAD GABLE AND OTIS Grace shows why she’s the newest member of Alpha Academy showing off both pure athleticism and incredible strength. After pummeling her opponent for several minutes, Parker puts her opponent up on the top turnbuckle facing away, then climbs up behind her and delivers a German suplex. Darling is in a heap and all Parker has to do is put one hand on her, and pins her with a one armed pushup. WINNER BY PINFALL: PARKER GRACE Backstage we see the Street Profits congratulating the New Day on their title wins. They all seem to be in great spirits. A vignette highlighting Dakota Kai. is shown and we’re told she’ll be coming to Raw very soon! The Man, Becky Lynch with her Raw Women’s Title over her shoulder is walking back stage. She joins us…next! “Last night was one of the greatest moments of my life. I achieved my dream for the second time. I main evented WrestleMania for the second time. And this time I got to hold my little baby girl after. And looking into her eyes made me realize that this title didn’t put my fire out, it just poured gasoline on it because I am hungrier than I was before that match. Every match, ever challenger, every time I step in this ring I’ll be winning it all over again!” Becky climbs the turnbuckle and poses but doesn’t see who’s coming up from behind. Nia Jax blindsides her from behind before hitting a massive belly to belly suplex. Becky is stunned as Nia delivers a second suplex and then drags her to the corner. Climbing up onto the second rope, Nia gives Becky not one but two Irresistible Drops. Becky looks to be seriously hurt as officials force Nia away but she has made her intentions clear. We’e shown a replay of Nia Jax leveling Becky Lynch from behind before hitting not one but two Irresistable Drops. CONTENDER’S MATCH SETH ROLLINS VS KING NAKAMURA A great back and forth match with two masters of the ring. While the Trinity stay nearly motionless at ringside these two battle it out and both score close pinfall attempts. Rollins goes for a superplex but Nakamura shoves him down. When Rollins approaches again, the King hits a jumping knee strike from the top rope. Rollins doesn’t know where he is and the Intercontinental Champion lines him up for the Kinshasa when Kross and Wyatt hit the ring and swamp him. WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION: KING NAKAMURA Once Rollins clears the cobwebs it’s three on one and they brutalize Nakamura for several minutes before finally leaving him in a heap. Rollins drapes the Intercontinental Title across him with a soft pat as they leave the ring. We’re shown a recap of WrestleMania Night Two including Stone Cold Steve Austin stunning Mr. McMahon, Damian Priest handcuffed to the rope watching his title slip away, the New Day winning the Raw Tag Team Championships in the ladder match, Bobby Lashley defeating John Cena, and finally Becky Lynch overcoming Charlotte Flair to be the new Raw Women’s Champion. The announcers further let us know that next week we have a huge main event. The Hurt Business team up to face the Raw Tag Team Champions the New Day. NO HOLDS BARRED DAMIAN PRIEST VS KEVIN OWENS A physical match which picks up where they left off yesterday. Priest is still furious with Owens’ antics at WrestleMania and punishes him at every opportunity. Owens bides his time until he can grab the momentum and tries to put the match away as quickly as possible including using a chair across Priest’s back but Priest keeps kicking out. Finally KO goes for the stunner but Priest catches his foot, spins him around and decks him with a big right hand. KO is out on his feet and Priest hits the Reckoning for the win. WINNER BY PINFALL: DAMIAN PRIEST JBL comes down to the ring with a smile as wide as his home state. He of course opens by telling all the Oklahoma fans that they finally get to see a winner. He then talks about how throughout his long career he’s always strived to be on top and now he is. Because the worst kept secret is about to come true. Like Vince McMahon before him he’s about to buy his competition! He asks for the contract for Smackdown to be brought down but he’s surprised by who is bringing it. Stephanie McMahon, folder in hand, walks down to the ring. “John, when we talked yesterday in Dallas things were sewn up. The T’s were crossed, the I’s were dotted, your financing was in place to yes, become the most powerful man in sports entertainment.” JBL smiles and nods and holds his hand out for the contract but she puts a finger up. “However…..at the 11th hour we received a new bid. This person put together an overwhelming presentation to the WWE Board. The vision for Smackdown, the potential for growth and development was I have to say more impressive.” JBL’s eyes widen. “I’ve made promises to the network and the sponsors. I’m on the line here.” “John I’m sorry but you know I always do what’s best for business. And I know one thing. Smackdown will never….ever…..be the same……again.” The crowd blows up as Chris Jericho walks out from the back and JBL’s jaw is on the ground. Jericho walks to the ring and politely shakes hands with Stephanie and almost offers JBL his hand but shakes his head instead. “Chris….when you first came into the WWE I was there to welcome you. I showed you around. How can you do this to me?” “Are you saying I’m some kind of Judas?” The crowd pops and begins singing the song before JBL cuts them off. “All of you Okies shut the hell up!” Stephanie holds up her hand. “Okay we have business gentlemen.” “Stephanie, I take back all the nasty things I ever said about you. You are definitely NOT a dirty,filthy,disgusting,bottom feeding trash bag ho.” “What about skanky?” “Okay, I take back almost all the nasty things I ever said about you.” She, Jericho, and the crowd get a laugh out of that before she hands him the contract which Jericho signs to JBL’s dismay. “And John, I just want you to know as one Owner to another…..I never liked you.” Jericho grabs JBL and delivers a Code Breaker as his music hits and Y2J celebrates his return as the show ends.

WRESTLEMANIA NIGHT TWO APRIL WEEK 1 AT&T STADIUM DALLAS, TX “Welcome to WrestleMania Night Two! I know last night opened a can of whoop ass and tonight ain’t gonna be any different. But before we kick this off Stone Cold wants to officially open the night with an ice cold beer….. The crowd pops as Mr. McMahon makes his way to the ring. The two eye each other before offering a light handshake, both a little wary of the other. “Steve I know you like to do the beer bash and all that but we’re on the clock, pal.” “I just wanted a beer.” (WHAT?!) “A cold one.” (WHAT?!) “A Steveweiser.” (WHAT?!) “A brewski.” (WHAT?!) “SHUT UP!” McMahon screams at the crowd. “How about just one, me and you, let bygones be bygones and end the Austin-McMahon feud for good?” Vince thinks about it and nods and Austin is tossed two beers, handing one to McMahon. They tap the cans but Austin holds up a hand. “I almost forgot…..” He suddenly kicks McMahon in the gut and delivers a stunner to the crowd’s delight before Austin drops to his chest, his head next to McMahons.” “DTA you stupid son of a bitch!” Austin’s music blares as he collects a few more beers and leaves McMahon behind. We go to the announcer’s table where Jimmy Smith, Corey Graves, and Byron Saxton welcome us to WrestleMania Night Two and inform us we’re kicking it off with the Raw World Championship. Now let’s see what brought these two men to the Hall of the Immortals. A video package is shown of the recent history between the Almighty Bobby Lashley and John Cena. BOBBY LASHLEY © W/MVP VS JOHN CENA As soon as the bell rings Lashley and Cena approach each other when Lashley suddenly explodes forward and tries to spear the challenger but Cena expects it and kicks him. Lashley is stunned and rears back on his heels. Cena quickly picks him up and delivers an Attitude Adjustment and makes the cover. 1 2 kickout! Cena knows how close he was and Lashley is quickly trying to clear the cobwebs. Cena stays on him delivering a snap suplex, followed by popping up and setting up the Five Knuckle Shuffle. When Cena bounds off the ropes, MVP swipes at his leg. Cena’s attention snaps to MVP and this is what Lashley needs. Lashley puts Cena in the Hurtlock and the sixteen-time world champion begins to fade. Lashley keeps on the pressure when Cena kicks up to the turnbuckle and uses the momentum to fall backwards pinning Lashley. 1 2 Lashley barely kicks out and in the process releases the submission. Cena looks dejected and exhausted. Lashley however just looks angry. The champion gathers himself and lays in a brutal assault of Cena, delivering knee strikes to his back before picking Cena up and slinging him over his head in a release belly to belly. Cena is down and struggling to get up as Lashley ragdolls him around the ring. Following a long standing vertical suplex, Lashley lines up a spear and just about breaks Cena in half. He picks Cena up and delivers a Dominator before making the cover and getting the three count in front of a hushed audience. WINNER BY PINFALL AND STILL RAW WORLD CHAMPION: BOBBY LASHLEY MVP Grabs the RAW World title and hands it to MVP who then stands on the second rope with his arms in the air. Graves is astounded at the way this match went so quickly and how dominant the champion was. Who can take this title from the Almighty? The Trinity are in their locker room. Wyatt turns to Kross. “You know what you have to do to him. You know he’s the first sacrifice of the night. He may be strong but he is not stronger than us.” Kross nods. “He will fall and pray.” Rollins turns with a devilish smile. “All according to the plan.” Kross and Scarlett walk out as Wyatt and Rollins grin. A video package is shown of the recent history between the Trinity and the New Day, specifically Karrion Kross and Big E. KARRION KROSS W/SCARLETT VS BIG E A very physical match with both men relying on their power and its Kross with the early advantage to the audience’s dismay. He constantly has Big E in trouble and when he doesn’t it’s Scarlett providing an eye rake or a slap. Kross hits the Saito Slam but only gets a two count. Kross makes a mistake in going to the second rope. He tries a cross body block but Big E catches him in mid air and delivers a fall away slam. From there Big E shows his own power game and dominates a large stretch of the match. Kross goes to the outside and when Big E follows Kross rams him face first into the post. Big E suffers a snap suplex on the floor and is rolled back into the ring but he gets his foot on the rope. Kross backs up, loading up for his running forearm but when he charges Big E, he’s scooped up and Big E delivers the Big Ending for the win. WINNER BY PINFALL: BIG E Big E dances and gyrates standing over Kross as Scarlett scowls from outside. The celebration is on and this may bode badly for the Trinity tonight. Velvet Sky is standing by with Raw Owner John Bradshaw Layfield. “Mr. Layfield I don’t know if I’ve ever seen you in a better mood.” “Velvet, I am the happiest man in the world. Not only am I home in Texas, not only is RAW showing off on the grandest stage of them all, but in about twenty four hours I am going to be the most powerful man in Sports Entertainment. Just you wait!” A video package shows the recent history between Damian Priest, Kevin Owens, and King Nakamura. [img]https://i.imgur.com/WL0Tjvd.jpg DAMIAN PRIEST © VS KEVIN OWENS VS KING NAKAMURA All three men stand in the middle of the ring exchanging punches until Priest and Nakamura form a quick partnership and Owens pays the price for it and ends up dumped over the top rope. Priest and Nakamura then turn on each other and while Owens recuperates, they tear into one another with stiff shots. Just as Priest gets chokeslams Nakamura, Owens has climbed to the top and cannonballs off the top rope, knocking Priest down. Now Owens goes for Nakamura hitting a DDT which gets a two count. Owens tries to go for a pop up powerbomb but he’s stopped when Nakamura hangs onto the ropes and Priest delivers a big boot in the back, sending Owens forward and Nakamura backdrops him over the top. Now Nakamura and Priest are back at each other for several minutes but Nakamura gets the upper hand and hits a spinning heel kick which knocks Priest into a seated position in the corner. Suddenly Owens pops up with a set of handcuffs and secured Priest to the middle rope before he realizes what happened. Owens slides in and as Priest pulls and strains he’s trapped. All he can do is watch Nakamura and Owens go through several close falls, stretching to try and break free but he’s stuck. Owens goes for a running cannonball on Nakamura but the King moves and Owens crashes. Owens crawls out on his knees and when he begins to gets up he catches a Kinshasa in the face. Nakamura makes the over and all Priest can do is watch his title walk away. WINNER BY PINFALL AND NEW RAW INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION: KING NAKAMURA Nakamura is handed the Intercontinental title but he has no time to celebrate. Owens is up and blasts the new champ in the back before hitting him in the face with the title. Owens spikes it on Nakamura and hops out of the ring, the ultimate sore loser. Backstage we see Big E on his way into the New Day locker room when he’s blindsided by all three members of the Trinity. After beating him down, all three men go into the locker room and the sounds of a violent fight are heard through the door. A video package is shown of the recent history which has led to this Women’s Tag Team Championship triple threat. ALEXA BLISS AND CARMELLA © VS TAMINA AND NAOMI VS KIMBER LEIGH AND NIA JAX The odds are against the Champions and for most of the match both Bliss and Carmella are a non-factor. Numerous close pinfalls are broken up and while Nia is the most dominant combatant, she takes herself out of the match when she charges Naomi as she rests against the barrier and when Naomi moves, Nia collapses the barrier into the time keeper. The crowd pops when the Champions get back into it and double suplex Kimber from inside the ring to the outside from the apron. Now the champions are looking eye to eye with Naomi and Tamina who hold the ring. Tamina begins walking towards them when she suddenly superkicks Naomi! Tamina sneers down at her partner before leaving the ring and walking out. Bliss and Carmella are as surprised as anyone in the building but Bliss quickly gets in and covers Naomi for the win. WINNERS BY PINFALL AND STILL RAW WOMEN’S TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: ALEXA BLISS AND CARMELLA The champions collect their titles and head back up the aisle as if they were responsible for their victory. The WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2022 is honored on the stage. Apollo Crews and Commander Azeez are in the ring waving a Nigerian flag and soaking in the boos when Alexander Hammerstone comes out from the back alone. Byron Saxton is confused because Hammerstone said he’d be bringing someone…… The crowd gets to its feet as the Immortal Hulk Hogan appears and he has a giant American flag. He and Hammerstone make their way down to the ring as Crews and Azeez ditch to the outside. Hogan proudly waves the flag as the crowd chants ‘USA! USA! to the heels dismay. APOLLO CREWS W/COMMANDER AZEES VE ALEXANDER HAMMERSTONE W/HULK HOGAN Crews has the upperhand in the beginning of the match and the continued cheap shots by Azeez don’t help, even though Hogan tries to tell the referee about them. This continues until Azeez is roughing up Hammerstone on the outside and Hogan can take no more! The Hulkster goes around the ring and spins Azeez around, stunning him with three big right hands before slamming him. Crews is furious, and Hammerstone is re-energized as both he and Hogan point to Crews. Hammerstone gets back in and withstands an onslaught from Apollo before standing tall and shaking his head. Crews begins backing up and then Hammerstone goes on the offense, showing his power and agility. Crews is thrown around the ring before finally being whipped into the ropes and eating a big boot to the face laying him out. Hammerstone teases a leg drop but stops and instead climbs up to the top, leaping off with a moonsault and making the cover for the win. WINNER BY PINFALL: ALEXANDER HAMMERSTONE As Hammerstone’s music plays he motions the Hulkster in the ring and they pose together to the crowd’s delight. Damian Priest is pacing backstage and completely pissed off. “Kevin Owens, you may not have won MY title tonight but YOU stole it from me. Tomorrow night it’s you and me….No. Holds. Barred.” The crowd is expecting the New Day but it’s the Trinity who walks out. Bray Wyatt has an unconscious Kofi over his shoulder while Rollins has Xavier Woods. They carry them to the ring and dump them on the apron. THE TRINITY VS THE NEW DAYMATCH Wyatt and Rollins both collect ladders on opposite sides of the ring and slide them in. It looks as if this match is going to be over quickly as both members of the Trinity begin to climb but Kofi and Woods wake up and scurry to stop them, dragging them both down to the mat and then the fight is on. Both teams brawl in and out of the ring for nearly fifteen minutes using anything available. We get some high flying from the New Day and some punishing torture from the Trinity. On the outside, Wyatt goes for Sister Abigail on Kofi onto a ladder but Woods jumps off the apron with a jumping knee strike. Wyatt is staggered and Kofi hits a Northern Lights Suplex onto the Ladder, laying Wyatt out. In the ring, Rollins has taken advantage of the outside and is climbing up for the tag belts but Woods slides in and hurries up the ladder. They trade punches with both men almost knocking the other off. They grab ahold of each other and Kofi takes the chance to climb up behind and over Woods, who has Rollins tied up, to reach the belts and pull them down. WINNERS AND NEW RAW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: THE NEW DAY Big E runs down to the ring and celebrates with his boys and the crowd as the New Day are the new Raw Tag Team Champions. Velvet Sky is standing by with Raw Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair. “Charlotte this is the biggest match of your career. Do you..” “I’m sorry sweetheart but you’re wrong. This is another day at the office. Another day that ends in ‘Y’ in the reign of the Queen. Now for Becky? Sure it’s the biggest night of her life but don’t ever make the mistake of putting her and I in the same category.” A video package is shown of the recent history between Samoa Joe and Keith Lee. SAMOA JOE VS KEITH LEE To put it bluntly. Joe and Lee beat the hell out of each other in one of the most physical WrestleMania matches in recent memory. Both show off their power throughout the match but it’s Joe’s striking ability which separates them. While Lee can out-muscle him it’s the stinging chops and kicks which wear Lee down. He does hit the Big Bang Catastrophe but Joe smartly rolls out of the ring. Keith follows him to bring him back in but Joe rams Lee’s back into the ringpost several times before they return to in-ring action. More brawling and power moves ensue but when Lee goes for the BBC again, Joe slips out the back and applies the Kokina Clutch. Lee struggles to get to the ropes and then Joe falls and secures him in a grapevine. Lee still won’t give up but eventually passes out. WINNER BY STOPPAGE: SAMOA JOE Following the war they were both through Joe and Lee regard each other for a moment with begrudging respect before going their own ways. A video package is shown of the history between AJ Styles and Omos OMOS VS AJ STYLES AJ does everything he can think of to get Omos off his feet, buzzing around him an annoying gnat with hit and run tactics. Omos finally swats him and levels him to the mat. From there the Colossus punishes AJ for several minutes but Omos gets greedy. With AJ laid out, the giant climbs to the top for a splash but AJ crotches him. Omos teeters and begins to fall forward and that’s when AJ moves in and stops his fall, and amazingly uses Omos’ position and put him in the Styles Clash. AJ backs up a few steps, barely holding the big man up and delivers it! AJ makes the cover. 1…..KICKOUT. Omos nearly military presses AJ across the ring with that kickout. Styles hurries to the apron for the Phenomenal Forearm and when Omos stands he soars but the Colossus grabs him in mid air and delivers the double handed chokeslam. A boot on the chest is all he needs for the three count. WINNER BY PINFALL: OMOS Omos keeps his boot on AJ’s chest as he raises both arms and roars. Graves quips that Omos is someone he will always remember to stay on the good side of. We see Becky Lynch warming up at the Gorilla Position. The title match is next! A video package is shown of the long history between Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. CHARLOTTE FLAIR © VS BECKY LYNCH To begin the match they walk to the center of the ring and begin calmly talking. We can’t hear all of it but it’s clearly personal. Graves reminds us it isn’t just Chartlotte’s Raw Women’s Title on the line, Becky has put her career on the line. These two know each other so well that the match is a stalemate for the first few minutes as they go move for move and counter for counter. It isn’t until Charlotte grabs the momentum by a clear thrust to Becky’s throat unseen by the referee that the Queen begins to punish her challenger and shows off her athleticism. No matter what Charlotte does Becky will not give in or stop fighting and when Charlotte misses a running kick in the corner now it’s the Man’s turn. Becky spends the next several minutes showing off her best moves and focusing on the arm. Charlotte is the victim of a slingshot high into the corner and appears to hit her head on the post before crumbling to the floor. The referee begins to count but Becky is aware that she cannot win the title on a count out and she pleads with him to stop. From behind both of them the Queen rises with a wild and evil look in her eyes. Adding to the visage is the blood running down Charlotte’s face. Sliding into the ring, Charlotte clips Becky’s left knee from behind and begins honing in on the weak spot. Becky is desperate to put distance between her and Charlotte but the champ can not only taste her own blood but she can sense the proverbial blood in the water. Charlotte stomps Becky in the corner before she drags her to the center of the ring and goes for the Figure Eight but Becky kicks her off. Becky hurries to her feet but her injured knee gives out and she falls to both knees. Charlotte quickly takes advantage hitting Natural Selection and puts her feet up on the ropes for more leverage as the referee counts to three. WINNER BY PINFALL AND STILL RAW WOMEN’S CHAMPION: CHARLOTTE FLAIR Reality sets in on Becky as she realizes her career is over and looks heartbroken for it to have ended like that. Charlotte is handed her title but….. “Whoa whoa whoa, we ain’t ending WrestleMania on that kinda horseshit. Referee, by the power vested in me as the Host of WrestleMania….. restart the match!” The referee grabs the title from Charlotte who is incredulous. Her entire focus is on Austin way up at the entrance and she doesn’t see Becky hobble her way across the ring until the Man spins Charlotte around and hits the Man Slam. Charlotte is laid out and Becky rolls her over and locks in the DisArmHer. Charlotte is frantically trying to get to the ropes and she is inches away before Becky lets up and drags her to the middle of the ring applying the submission again. Charlotte looks like she’s full of rage but she has to tap. WINNER BY SUBMISSION AND NEW RAW WOMEN’S CHAMPION: BECKY LYNCH Becky is handed the Raw Women’s Title and instantly begins crying as fireworks go off all over the stadium. She holds the title high in the air as the announcers all rave about the match though Graves blames Charlotte’s loss on Stone Cold saying he’s responsible. Nevertheles Becky Lynch closes the two day WrestleMania with the title she never lost back in her hands.

WRESTLEMANIA NIGHT ONE APRIL WEEK 1 AT&T STADIUM DALLAS, TX Stone Cold Steve Austin, the host of WrestleMania comes down to the ring on his 4 wheeler. Austin salutes the crowd and hypes the night telling them that tonight and tomorrow Smackdown and Raw will open up cans of whoopass like has never been seen before and if anyone gets out of line he’s got a stunner with their name on it and that’s the bottom line cause Stone Cold said so! A video is shown recapping the history between the Miz and Shelton Benjamin including the Miz using Benjamin’s old partner Charlie Haas to mock the challenger. THE MIZ © W/MARYSE VS SHELTON BENJAMIN Benjamin is still angry from the past week and it shows as he makes early mistakes and the Miz takes advantage. Miz controls the early going and looks for an early Skull Crushing Finale but Shelton fights out of it and takes over the match. Miz ditches to the outside and hides behind Maryse allowing the Miz to get into the ring ahead of the challenger and regain the momentum. Everything is going the Miz’s way but he begins to show off for his wife, giving Shelton the time to recoup and when Miz picks up Shelton he’s rolled up into a small package, 1-2-3. WINNER BY PINFALL AND NEW SMACKDOWN UNITED STATES CHAMPION: SHELTON BENJAMIN Shelton is handed his new title and climbs the ropes, holding it high in the air as the crowd cheers the new champion. Kayla Braxton is standing by with Paul Heyman. “Mr Heyman tonight many are calling the match between your cli….your emplo…..” “My Tribal Chief.” “Yes, and the Rock the biggest match in WrestleMania history. Your comments?” “Well those people would be correct. There has never been a match like this. A bonafide hall of famer. A dominant force, the likes of which has never been seen before. The charisma, the authority, power…..and then there’s the Rock. Kayla tonight can only go one way and that is to send Dwayne back to his movie sets because there is no room for him on the Island of Relevancy.” Sonya Deville comes out onto the stage after Paige has brought Kay Lee Ray and Piper Niven down to the ring. She says that she didn’t have to look far for opponents for these two. Her phone was ringing off the hook but when it came down to it, there are not two more kickass and deserving women who have proven themselves time and again. Ladies and gentlemen……. KAY LEE RAY AND PIPER NIVEN W/PAIGE VS TRISH STRATUS AND LITA Lita and Trish get the upper hand on Kay Lee Ray who seems not to take them seriously in the beginning but when Piper comes in she bulldozes her opponents around the ring. Lita is in trouble in the opponent’s corner but she finally breaks loose and tags in Trish. Stratus takes the fight to Ray and is getting up for Stratusfaction when Piper comes in and as Trish is double teamed, Lita comes in and it’s a four woman brawl Trish is paired off with Ray in the corner and as Piper slings Lita away she charges but Trish moves and Niven avalanches her partner, who collapses. Piper charges Trish again who low bridges the top rope and Piper falls over the top. Trish tags Lita who runs to the corner and climbs to the top, hitting a Swanton Bomb for the win. WINNERS BY PINFALL: TRISH STRATUS AND LITA Lita and Trish share a hug as the referee raises their arms before playing to the crowd. Suddenly from behind, Piper Niven gets back into the ring and blindsides them both. Kay Lee Ray pulls Lita out of the ring and runs her into the ringpost while Piper splashes Trish. Paige brings her girls up the aisle as the legends are left down. A video is shown recapping the history between RKBro and the Usos. RKBRO © VS THE USOS Solid tag action as one may expect from these two teams. Both teams control large chunks of the match and the Usos are pounding on Riddle in their corner but he finally makes the hot tag to Orton who flips the match and is on fire. Jimmy is in trouble and Orton is preparing for the RKO but Jey pulls him out of the ring to save him. It doesn’t save them from Riddle who has climbed to the top and soars with a cross body block onto them. Orton joins them on the outside and rolls Jimmy back in before he stalks him and hits the RKO for the win. WINNERS BY PINFALL AND STILL SMACKDOWN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: RKBRO Orton and Riddle climb opposite corners and do the same pose as the Usos regroup on the outside. The look in their eyes says this isn’t over. Kayla Braxton is standing by with Smackdown Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler. “Shayna, you’ll defend your title tonight against three other women. We know you’re into magic tricks. What do you have up your sleeve tonight for Rhea, Bianca, and Sasha?” Baszler looks at Kayla with an icy glare. “Pain.” She walks away from Kayla who throws it back to Cole and McAfee. A video is shown recapping the history between McIntyre and Balor and how personal it has become. DREW MCINTYRE VS FINN BALOR A hard hitting match with Balor laying in stiff strikes and McIntyre relying on his power game. The momentum goes back and forth with both men getting near falls but it is Balor who seems to grow impatient when he can’t put Drew away, even after hitting the Coup de Grâce. Balor looks shocked and rolls out of the ring and grabs a chair. Returning to the ring he intends on using it but the referee grabs it. They struggle over the chair and meanwhile McIntyre has gotten to his feet and launches a Claymore but Balor moves and the referee takes the brunt. McIntyre immediately checks on the referee and when he turns around Balor kicks him low. McIntyre drops to his knees and now Balor picks up the chair again and gives Drew a serious whack across the back before throwing the chair out of the ring. McIntyre is down on his back in pain as Balor climbs to the top and hits another Coup de Grâce. He pulls the referee over who blindly counts to three. WINNER BY PINFALL: FINN BALOR Balor sneers down at McIntyre who is still down. Balor climbs the ropes as the fans boo but he seems to enjoy it before hopping down and heading up the aisle. We go live to Edge’s locker room. He’s warming up for his match tonight with Adam Cole and Michael Cole mentions that he hasn’t seen Edge with that look in his eyes for a long time. We see a recap of Sonya Deville’s decision to create the first ever Tag Team Money in the Bank Match. MONEY IN THE BANK TOMMASO CIAMPA AND TIMOTHY THATCHER VS THE DIRTY DAWGS VS THE WAR RAIDERS The three teams use everything that isn’t bolted down at ringside and of course ladders play a huge part. The customary ladder spots are sprinkled through the match and at one point or another all three teams are mere inches from capturing the briefcase. When Roode and Thatcher are on the top of the ladder, Ivar shoves the ladder over, sending both tumbling to the floor. The War Raiders then split off fighting Ziggler and Ciampa. Soon all four have climbed dual ladders. Erik, who is fighting Ciampa, slams his head off the top of the ladder sending Ciampa to the ground. Erik begins reaching for the briefcase but Ziggler is fighting off both Ivar and stopping Erik. Showing how much he wants the victory, Ivar climbs even higher and hits a sunset flip powerbomb on Ziggler which brings the crowd to their feet. All alone at the top, Erik reaches up and unhooks the briefcase. WINNERS: THE WAR RAIDERS The War Raiders celebrate the biggest win of their careers. As they head up the aisle, Ivar holds the briefcase over his head with a big smile. A determined looking Rock is pacing backstage when he stops and stares off camera. The camera pans over and the crowd explodes when we see the Co-Host of WrestleMania, Stone Cold Steve Austin with two beers in his hands. “Rocky!” “Steve!” “Now I know you got a huge match tonight, but for old times sake you gotta have a drink with Stone Cold” The Rock hesitates but then accepts one of the cans. Austin takes a sip. “Hey, do you remember WrestleMania 15 when I beat you for the world title?” The Rock doesn’t look pleased but nods. “Yea I remember.” “Good times.” Austin takes another sip. “And how about down the road in Houston at WrestleMania 17 when I beat you for the world title...again.” The Rock is now looking annoyed but nods. “Yea, that too.” “Good times.” Austin is mid-sip when the Rock holds up a finger.” “Steve, you know what I just remembered?” “What’s that kid?” “WrestleMania 19….Seattle Washington….when the Rock laid the smackdown on your trailer park candyass and retired you. You remember that?” Austin just looks at Rock with a blank expression before giving a slight nod. “Yea, I remember that.” “Good seeing you Steve.” “Good luck tonight, Rock.” They click the beer cans and go their separate ways. A video is shown recapping the history between Adam Cole and Edge including how Cole brought Edge’s family into this rivalry. ADAM COLE VS EDGE A fight that has become one of the most personal matches on the card begins before the bell even rings when Edge blindsides Cole as he’s making his way to the ring. Edge beats him from side to side before Cole runs and escapes into the ring but finds no salvation when Edge follows and continues the attacks. Edge is heard asking Cole if it was worth it to torment his family as he wears Cole out and has him begging for a time out. Edge glances to the crowd for their opinion and Cole strikes, jabbing a thumb in his eye. Edge, blinded, is easy pickings for the younger man who spends nearly ten minutes giving everything he has to Edge and especially focusing on his neck. When the action spills to the outside, Cole peels back some padding and puts Edge in position for a piledriver with McAfee showing true concern for Edge but the Rated-R Superstar reverses it into a backdrop. Gathering his second wind, Edge puts Cole back in the ring and continues where he left off. Cole begs off again but Edge won’t make the same mistake twice. He beats Cole without mercy, taking out all his frustrations as a man, husband, and father. Edge goes for an impaler DDT but Cole shoves him away into the ropes. Unfortunately for Cole, Edge bounds off the ropes and hits a pinpoint dropkick, knowing Cole flat. Edge looks around at the crowd and climbs to the top rope. He points to his wife and girls sitting in the front row before jumping off with an elbow drop that he buries deep in Cole’s chest for the win. WINNER BY PINFALL: EDGE The crowd explodes as Edge gets the win. Edge climbs the ropes playing to the crowd as Cole rolls out of the ring holding his ribs. The WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2022 is honored on the stage. A video is shown recapping the history between these four women leading to this title match. SHAYNA BASZLER © VS BIANCA BELAIR VS SASHA BANKS VS RHEA RIPLEY All four women are in the ring at the same time and the action is all around the ring and outside. They all pair up with someone else during the course of the match but every time someone is in a submission or being pinned it is always broken up just at the last moment. Sasha climbs to the top but she’s met by Rhea who delivers a superplex. As soon as they land, Shanya throws Rhea over the top and makes the cover but Bianca breaks it up before it can even begin. She picks up Shanya and delivers the KOD. Sasha by now has recovered and hits the backstabber on Bianca and rolls it into the Banks Statement but Rhea has slid back into the ring. She pulls Sasha up by the hair causing her to drop Bianca and delivers the Riptide and makes the cover for the win. WINNER BY PINFALL AND NEW SMACKDOWN WOMEN'S CHAMPION: RHEA RIPLEY Rhea Ripley is handed the title and falls to her knees, clutching it to her chest. The other three women are very disappointed, but the celebration is on! We see Rey Mystrerio’s wife and daughter seated at ringside. Both look very unhappy at what we’re about to see. A video is shown recapping the history between the Mysterios and how Zelina Vega has caused a family rift. DOMINIK MYSTERIO W/ZELINA VEGA VS REY MYSTERIO The action in this starts off fast and it's clear Dominik has learned a lot from his father as he seems to know counters to Rey’s usual offense but when the elder changes his tempo, his son can’t adjust and takes a powder to the outside. Rey follows but Zelina cuts him off and slaps him. The referee uses discretion and does not call for the bell. The action returns to the ring and Rey continues to dominate until Dominik uses a distraction from Zelina to cheapshot his dad with a quick punch to the throat. Now Dominik takes over and uses his size advantage to punish Rey with several submissions but Rey won’t give up. Dominik grows frustrated and goes to the top but Rey crotches him and climbs up to give the cliche 10-punch with the crowd counting along. Rey goes for a hurricanrana from the top but Dominik hangs on and then delivers a powerbomb from the top rope. He makes the cover and at two, Rey puts his foot on the rope but Zelina shoves it off and the ref counts to three. WINNER BY PINFALL: DOMINIK MYSTERIO Dominik and Zelina leave Rey in the ring and as the legend gets to his feet he gets a standing ovation from the capacity crowd. Rey is emotional as he shows his love for the audience and eventually heads back up the aisle, giving one last look before disappearing in the back. A video is shown recapping the history between the Tribal Chief and the Rock which has brought us to this moment. ROMAN REIGNS © W/PAUL HEYMAN VS THE ROCK The crowd is amped from those entrances and the combatants do not disappoint. The Rock starts off hot trying to put the match away early by hitting a Rock Bottom out of nowhere but Roman kicks out with Heyman screaming at him to do so. The Rock keeps up the pressure and goes for it again but Reigns blocks it and buries a knee deep in his gut. Reigns now has his feet under him and punishes the Rock from pillar to post, even spearing him through the barricade leading to the time keeper. Reigns has a smug look on his face as he gets the Rock back into the ring and goes for the cover but the Rock kicks out. Roman nearly rolls his eyes as he backs off and hits a Superman Punch but the Rock gets up out of adrenaline only to be hit with another. Roman covers for the 1 2….kickout! Now Reigns is angry. He sets up for another spear with a loud OOOOOH AHHHHHH but when he charges, the Rock kicks him in the face and when Reigns reels up, the Rock hits the Rock Bottom. 1 2 Kickout! Heyman looks like he’s ready to have a stroke. The Rock stands above Reigns and pulls his elbow pad off and throws it to the crowd. Criss crossing the ropes, he jumps over Reigns for the People’s Elbow but Reigns is up and spears the Rock as he comes back towards him. Exhausted, he throws an arm over the Rock. 1 2 3. WINNER BY PINFALL: SOMEONE Heyman quickly gathers the Smackdown World Title and presents it to Reigns who can barely stand. The champion looks like he has been through a war but as the show ends, its the Tribal Chief holding his title high in the air. As the show ends, Michael Cole questions who can stop Roman Reigns now and thanks us for watching.

Hey guys we wanted to give you some updates on some things going on with this project. 1) We're obviously back at it though we're a shade behind real life at the moment. Next 3 weeks or so will be busy but eventually we'll get caught up and back on our schedule. 2) I am going to be the main force of Raw and Smackdown moving forward because..... 3) Kimberly is going to be taking over NXT beginning April Week 2 (after Mania). So we'll be giving you more content and her vision of what that show can be. She will also be our 'Nick Khan' being very hands on in the front office of WWE and we hope to provide you more news and insights on that side of the curtain. It's almost Mania time....

MONDAY NIGHT RAW APRIL WEEK 1 AMERICAN AIRLINES CENTER DALLAS, TX Jimmy Smith and the other announcers welcome us to Monday Night Raw! They hype WrestleMania in just six days and tonight’s main event. The Street Profits didn’t want to wait until WrestleMania, they want the Grizzled Young Veterans tonight and they’ll meet in a titanic tag team clash tonight! ANGEL GARZA VS GRAN METALIK A high flying and high energy matchup that shows some lucha libre skills of both men. Meltailk gets crotched on the top. Garza takes advantage and hits the Last Kiss. WINNER BY PINFALL: ANGEL GARZA We see a slow motion replay of the Last Kiss. Velvet Sky is backstage with AJ Styles. “AJ, this Sunday you face your former partner, Omos. He’s never been defeated. He’s never even been off his feet. Everyone wants to know, how can you beat him?” “Velvet I know everything Omos can do. But he doesn’t know that about me. I’ve been in this business a long time and I’m gonna show him things he’s never dreamed of and when the time is right, I’m gonna hit him right in his stupid face with a Phenomenal Forearm and yell timbeeeeeeer!” JBL is in his office on the phone. “I’m telling you I’m making the business move of the century. It’s going to be all mine and when it does, I’m going to have this network by the short hairs. Just you wait and see next week! TITUS O’NEIL VS KARRION KROSS W/SCARLETT As soon as the bell rings, Scarlett distracts Titus allowing Kross to hit him with a running forearm to the back of his head. Titus falls chest-first into the corner and quickly Kross nails the Saito Slam. Titus is down and Kross locks on the Kross Jacket and Titus quickly taps. Graves makes the point that if Kross is this dominant on Sunday it’ll be a short night for Big E. WINNER BY SUBMISSION: KARRION KROSS Backstage Kevin Owens and Damian Priest as face to face, trash talking each other when Owens kicks him low. Priest drops to his knees in pain but suddenly we hear another war cry. King Nakamura flies into the scene to attack Owens who dodges it and Nakamura nails Priest with the Kinshasa, knocking him cold. Owens is gleeful as he quickly exits and Nakamura is left looking down at Priest and at the retreating KO. We see the Grizzled Young Veterans getting warmed up as Nigel McGuiness gives them tips on what to do tonight. The announcers review all the members of the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2022. A vignette of Nikki A.S.H. is shown of her doing almost superhero things: Rescuing a cat from a tree, helping an old woman across the street, etc but as the video progresses it begins to flicker and lose its color to black and white. Slowly it just fades to black and from the darkness a face emerges….. …before opening her mouth and allowing blood to pour out. She smiles a bloody grin as the video ends. TRISTAN ARCHER VS CHAD GABLE W/OTIS Gable puts on a clinic, bad mouthing Archer along the way. With Otis’ encouragement Gable hits a bridged German suplex for the win. WINNER BY PINFALL: CHAD GABLE We’re shown a video of Alexander Hammerstone lifting weights and working out in preparation for his match with Apollo Crews this Sunday. Corey Graves is sitting down with the New Day. “Guys, on Sunday you have two huge matches at WrestleMania. Kofi, Xavier, you’re in a ladder match against Bray Wyatt and Seth Rollins. And Big E…you go one on one with Karrion Kross. The New Day is always about the power of positivity but….is the Trinity too much negativity for you to handle?” Kofi shakes his head. “Corey, you’re right we’re all about the positivity but that doesn’t mean we don’t know what we’re up against. Three cold blooded killers who would just as soon rip your head off as shake your hand but we’re not exactly new to this.” Woods nods. “Exactly. A ladder match is something that evens the odds for us. We can use it however we like and as many times as we like to teach them the lesson they’ve had coming for a long time.” Big E stands, pacing. “And don’t you think for a minute that I won’t strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. Kross you put your hands on my brothers and for that…for that I’m gonna whoop that ass in front of a hundred thousand people.” Graves nods slightly. “I wish you guys well.” BILLIE KAY W/PEYTON ROYCE VS SOLO DARLING Billie Kay dominates his match as annoyingly as possible before she ends it with a swinging neckbreaker. WINNER BY PINFALL: BILLIE KAY The announcers hype this Sunday’s WrestleMania Night Two! imgur.com/sNgu7TN.jpg And don’t forget…. The Host of WrestleMania….Stone Cold Steve Austin! The Street Profits are backstage preparing for their match tonight. Byron Saxton mentions he’s never seen them more focused. We go backstage and see Raw Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair looking intently at someone. When the camera pulls back we see who. Becky and Charlotte continue staring at each other. “JBL says if I touch you, I lose my shot.” ‘He told me if I touch you he’ll strip me of this title.” “I guess we have to wait.” “Six days.” “Six days.” We’re shown a replay of Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch’s confrontation. BARON CORBIN VS LEO BRIEN Baron Corbin boots Brien in the face as soon as the bell rings and spends several minutes punishing him, berating him for being the reason he’s not on WrestleMania which Jimmy Smith calls ‘nonsense.’ What isn’t nonsense is the End of Days which brings the match to an end. WINNER BY PINFALL: BARON CORBIN Velvet Sky is standing by the Raw Women’s Tag Team Champions Alexa Bliss and Carmella. “Ladies, in less than a week you put these titles on the line in a triple threat. The odds are not in your favor, you don’t even have to be part of the finish to lose….” Alexa cuts her off. “Yes, yes, we know. We were screwed and forced into this match but you know what? We don’t care! You’re looking at the Goddess and the most beautiful woman in WWE. Next week you’ll be talking to us again and we’ll still have our titles.” The champs walk off leaving Velvet shaking her head. Backstage Samoa Joe and Keith Lee have decided not to wait for WrestleMania and are beating the hell out of each other. Joe is thrown into a metal garage door but when Lee throws a chair at him he dodges it. Officials rush in and pull them apart but it’s looking like this Sunday will be a war! We cut to the aisle where the Street Profits and Grizzled Young Veterans have brawled from the backstage and fight into the ring where order is briefly restored and the match begins. THE STREET PROFITS VS THE GRIZZLED YOUNG VETERANS W/NIGEL MCGUINESS These two teams leave it all in the ring and have the crowd chanting ‘this is awesome’. The two styles of the teams are on full display but the Profits show they can get down and dirty with some fighting too. McGuiness gets on the apron to distract the ref but he gets drop kicked to the floor. Gibson pushes the advantage but when Dawkins gets the blind tag he cleans house and sets up an enormously high frog splash by Ford for the win. WINNER BY PINFALL: THE STREET PROFITS We go to the ring following the break and JBL is in the ring. He introduces both John Cena and the Almighty Raw World Champion Bobby Lashley with the Hurt Business. JBL tells us he made it clear to both sides that the match at WrestleMania Night Two is too important. Cena signs the contract and Lashley follows. As JBL lauds this as one of the biggest matches in WrestleMania history, Cena and Lashley go nose to nose and the show ends with that as the last picture.

SmackDown opens with a recap of last week’s promo from The Rock about his match up with Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania. The video highlights certain moments from both men’s past Wrestlemania appearances. We then cut to highlight video of Ricochet and are informed that tonight from New York - the SmackDown World Title will be on the line as Roman Reigns is looking for a “Wrestlemania Tune Up” against the amazing Ricochet. Welcome to Friday Night SmackDown from Brooklyn, New York!
