Thank you! It is a lot of work but when you're having fun it doesn't feel like that. And it doesn't hurt that I have the best partner in the business.

The show begins with a recap of Drake Maverick’s declaration of a four man match to determine a new number one contender for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship.

Coach and Booker welcome us to the show and hype the two big matches tonight. The four way for a new number one contender and the Loser Leaves 205 match which is tonight’s main event.
Rating: 69
A hard hitting and high flying match which sees a bit of everything. Every time Murphy or Itami, who have focused on Sabre, get a chance for a pinfall it’s Fenix who’s breaking it up. Sabre evens the fight after taking a moment to regroup and it's a four man brawl. Sabre is especially hard hitting with a strong style matched up with Itami. When Fenix and Murphy both go over the top rope it’s a two man match and when Itami misses a high running knee Sabre hits the Zack Driver for the win.
Winner by Pinfall and new #1 Contender: Zack Sabre Jr.

Maria and Mike Kanellis are in their locker room. Maria says tonight they will rid 205 of the vile, dangerous, and psychotic Brian Kendrick. She says Mike was only medically cleared this morning and he’s taking the risk of a career on two fronts for tonight’s main event but one way or another….they’re not going anywhere.

Cathy Kelly catches up with Drake Maverick and asks him when Zack Sabre Jr will be getting his title shot. He tells her it will happen at the first 205 Live WWE Network special entitled Breakout, the first week of May.

Gulak wants to keep this one on the ground but Ali isn’t having any of that. His quick attacks frustrate Gulak early and it doesn’t get any better as Ali pours on some high energy offense ending with a reverse 450 splash for the win.

King Fenix is backstage, disappointed about the earlier match when Buddy Murphy and Hideo Itami suddenly attack him. He tries fighting them off but they overwhelm him and end their attack by throwing him head first into a wall. He lands in a heap and officials force them away.

Rating: 88
The dislike between these two is palpable and the match goes back and forth. Maria tries to distract or get involved several times, once so blatantly on the outside that Kendrick nearly hits her but he holds back and she just smirks. Mike follows him to the outside but Kendrick sees it coming and goes on the attack, sending Kanellis into the ring post before sliding back into the ring. Dazed, Kanellis climbs onto the apron where Kendrick grabs ahold of him and lifts him for a vertical suplex but Maria pulls Kendrick’s leg out from under him and when Mike lands atop him she holds Kendrick’s foot down as the referee counts to three.
Winner by Pinfall: Mike Kanellis
Rating: 69
Kendrick is struck by what just happened and looks over his shoulder at Maria and Mike who are gloating/pointing/laughing at him. As the show ends Coach questions what this means for 205 and if we’ll ever see Brian Kendrick again.

The WWE Champion comes to the ring. He says in five days he will walk into the ring against a demon and he will walk out still the Planet’s Champion. He takes nothing away from Finn Balor’s wrestling ability but Bryan is better. He takes nothing away from Finn Balor’s athleticism but Bryan is better. He takes nothing away from Finn Balor’s heart and drive and spirit but Bryan has the spirit of Mother Earth behind him. And with that nothing can defeat him and no one can take away this title around his waist. Not long ago he hurt Finn Balor really bad but he obviously didn’t finish the job. This Sunday he will.

They say politics makes strange bedfellows but so does warfare and Joe and Rusev symbolize that perfectly. Their personal dislike is still evident in the match, especially when they’re tagging but they are ruthless against the equally violent members of SAnitY. Violence doesn't equal a victory however as in the end Rusev has Wolfe in the Accolade as Joe puts the Kokina Clutch on Dain. The referee calls for the bell when neither man can escape.
Winners by Submission: Samoa Joe and Rusev

Andrade is backstage with his cartel. He says Rey Mysterio has made the decision to not only put his United States title on the line at WrestleMania but he’s decided to take the punishment instead of his family. It’s noble. Andrade can appreciate Rey’s love of family. Andrade’s family is standing behind him right now. Who does Rey have? If any of his family think about coming to WrestleMania they...well….they’ll take a little vacation south of the border. He warns Mysterio not to try him on that and he suggests Mysterio should just lay down on Sunday and hand over that title saying it will be better for everyone.

The announcers keep playing up Lacey Evans’ past as a Marine and the crowd is into it with a USA chant which drives Billie Kay crazy outside the ring. Peyton controls most of the match until Lacey puts on a comeback and gets her in a Cobra Clutch. Peyton tries to get to the rope but Lacey walks her back to the center and Peyton taps.

The Bar, both steaming mad, approach Paige as she’s talking to a staffer and demand she cancel their Smackdown Live Tag Team Championship match at WrestleMania versus Heavy Machinery. They say it was unprofessional for them not to be told and to find out like all the losers of the world by watching RAW to hear about the match. She stops them and questions why they were watching the competition. They don’t really have a good answer and she tells them they better stop whining and start preparing or else they might get steamrolled on Sunday.

We’re shown a pre-filmed video from Shane McMahon He says this match with Triple H is a long time in coming. For almost two decades he’s had to deal with his brother in law behind the scenes and he bit his tongue but no longer. Smackdown Live is his brand, his baby. Triple H as abused his authority and Shane will mak…..
Suddenly the video gets filled with static and Shane’s pre tape is replaced by a live Triple H feed. He says if Shane wants to see abuse he only has to wait until Sunday because he will abuse Shane. He will put him through more pain and suffering than he’s ever had before. Shane should have stayed away when he left the company with his tail between his legs. It was a mistake to come back and it was a mistake to get in Triple H’s business. He’ll learn that lesson the hard way. Triple H reaches down out of camera shot and pulls up a sledgehammer before just grinning as the video ends.

A very good match between these three teams with each getting about an equal amount of offense. Everyone gets in some signature moves but in the end as the Usos climb for a double splash on Big E, Karl Anderson blind tags himself in and shoves Jey off the top, crashing to the floor. At the same time Gallows follows suit with Jimmy. With Big E just getting to his feet he falls victim to the Magic Killer.
Winners by Pinfall: Gallows and Anderson

We’re shown a replay of last week when Trish Stratus defeated Charlotte Flair to earn a spot in the Smackdown Live Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania.
Rating: 77
Sonya lurks outside and does her best to distract Trish but the veteran is in full control. Mandy does manage to send Trish to the outside near the end of the match and that is when Charlotte comes running down.
But before Charlotte can attack, Asuka comes out and the two begin to fight. With the referee distracted, Sonya slides in and attempts to double team Trish but she hits Mandy by accident with the bicycle kick and then Stratus hits a Chick Kick sending Sonya to the outside and covers Mandy for the win.
Winner by Pinfall: Trish Stratus

Becky Lynch is standing by with Kayla Braxton. She says that last night was some of the most fun she’s had in awhile. The look on Ronnie’s face when she turned around and saw the Man. But she learned a lesson the hard way last night. She was held back by half a dozen people when Ronnie punched the Man right in the face. She gave Becky her best shot, with no hesitation. And here the Man stands. If Ronnie couldn’t finish her with a clean shot then this Sunday at WrestleMania what is she going to do when nobody’s holding her back? What’s the Baddest Bitch on the Planet going to do when the Man comes around and rips her arm out of the socket? You had your shot Ronnie. Wait till you see mine.

As Harper rolls out of the ring Orton enters. AJ turns around and acknowledges Orton for his help, offering a hand. Orton glances to the crowd who urges him to shake it. With a near sigh Orton shrugs and shakes Styles’ hand. The announcers discuss how the coalition against SAnitY seems to be coalesced and if Miz isn’t badly hurt it’s going to be a near all-star team in the big ten man….Suddenly Orton jerks Styles back to him as the handshake was ending….
RKO!
Orton hops up and stares coldly down at Styles as the announcers say they may have been completely wrong as the show ends.

Harper and AJ put on a good match in which Harper’s strength and brutality holds the ring against AJ’s athleticism. AJ gets in some of his normal offense but the tide turns when AJ catches a boot to the face and flies back into the referee knocking him out. Harper stalks Styles when suddenly Randy Orton jumps the barrier and slides into the ring.
Harper sense someone behind him and turns around into an RKO. Orton slides out and begins waking up the ref as Styles goes to the outside and when Harper finally gets up he catches a Phenomenal Forearm to the face. AJ makes the cover for the slow 123.
Winner by Pinfall: AJ Styles

Angle comes down to the ring but he’s not singing along with the crowd, he just looks pissed off. Angle says that everyone knows the history he has with Brock Lesnar and everyone remembers what they did to each other at WrestleMania XIX. Angle says he may be older but he’s still got the fire and he wants Lesnar this Sunday! Angle says people may say this is about pride and they’d be damn right in thinking that. That’s why he doesn’t only want Brock Lesnar, he wants him in an I Quit match. He says he will make the Beast tap out in front of millions of people. He says he knows Paul Heyman is back there so come out and accept the challenge.

Instead of Heyman, Angle gets the C.E.O of RAW Stephanie McMahon. She looks nearly apologetic when she tells Angle that she doesn’t think he’s in his right mind and she cannot in good conscience allow that match. Angle says he knows what he’s asking for. Stephanie says there is no shame in coming to your senses so she will give him the match however if he decides to call it off he will still be the RAW General Manager. However….if he goes forward with that match she cannot have her GM fighting the talents so Angle will be effectively quitting his job if that bell rings. Angle says he understands and thanks her for the match before his music hits and he leaves the ring.

Elias is in complete control in the match but he stops to take time to badmouth his veteran opponent and the referee which opens a window for Goldust and he comes back at Elias with some of his signature moves. Elias seems to reclaim the offense and gets a two count. He complains again to the referee and gets rolled up from behind by Goldust for the surprise ending.
Winner by Pinfall: Goldust

As Natalya celebrates her win in the ring Nia Jax comes out and approaches Lita. Nia begins running Lita down, questioning her about being in the battle royal which Nia will obviously win. Lita stands and begins to take off her headset when Nia attacks. Nia slams Lita’s face off the desk and picks her up in a military press, looking like she’s going to throw her off the stage. Lita wiggles out of it and drops behind Nia, showing her towards the edge. Nia teeters but regains her balance and turns around right into a standing dropkick. Nia falls off the stage as the crowd cheers but Lita’s not done. She peels off her shirt and delivers a moonsault onto Nia when Jax finally stood up which really brings the crowd to their feet. It looks like the Women’s Battle Royal will be taken to the ‘extreme’ this Sunday!

Finn Balor comes out to the ring. He says that this Sunday he’s going to become the new WWE Champion. But that also means that tonight could be his last night on Monday Night RAW. So he wants it to be memorable, he wants it to be a great sendoff.
Bobby Lashley and Bobby Roode come out on the stage and begin walking down to the ring. Roode gets a mic and says he agrees with Balor, tonight should be memorable and he and Lashley think they have the answer. The two of them are going to beat the hell out of Balor so bad, no one will ever forget it. They’re about to get in the ring when someone else joins the conversation.

Velveteen Dream comes out which revives the crowd and says if there is going to be a memorable moment obviously the Dream has to be a part of it. He gets in the ring and says we can do this now or even better we can do this in the main event because obviously that’s where he belongs. The heels back off a little and tell Balor and Velveteen that they’ll see them later tonight.

Paul Heyman is strutting around backstage when Kurt Angle comes out of nowhere and pins him to the wall. Heyman is bug eyed and repeating that he’s only an advocate but Angle doesn’t seem to care. He tells Heyman to deliver a message to his client. This Sunday isn’t about what happened two weeks ago. It’s what happened decades ago. This Sunday Kurt Angle won’t break Brock Lesnar’s spirit. And he won’t break his confidence. This Sunday, Kurt Angle is going to break Brock Lesnar’s freakin’ ankle. He releases Heyman, smoothing his suit. Then he gets back in Heyman’s face and tells him...and then he’ll break the other one. Angle and Heyman both look down at the floor as Heyman’s bottom lip quivers. Angle pats him on the shoulder and says he knows he could count on him.

The RAW Women’s Champion comes out to the ring. She tells the crowd that this Sunday she’s going to do what she always does. She’s going to look across a ring from her opponent, then she’s going to dominate, then she’s doing to win. Becky Lynch can talk herself up as much as she wants. She can call herself the Man but the truth is she’s getting into the ring against the Baddest Bitch on the Planet. No amount of bravado and no trash talking or tweeting is going to change that. And if Becky wants more of what happened at that interview last week Rousey says she’s not hard to find before Sunday!

Ambrose and Rollins are in their locker room. Rollins says that this Sunday they can’t hesitate for a second or it’s going to go really bad for them. Ambrose chuckles and pulls a long box out of a bag. Rollins asks him what it is and Ambrose replies that it’s something a hardcore legend gave him a long time ago. He opens the box to reveal a barbed wire bat. Rollins grins and goes to touch the bat but Ambrose pulls it back before telling Rollins never to come between a man and his Barbie.

The Riotts are more focused than they have been in a long time as they focus on triple teaming whoever is legal on the other team. Finally Bayley gets the tag and begins cleaning house.

We’re shown a pre taped interview with John Cena conducted by Michael Cole. Cole asks Cena what to expect this Sunday. Cena says that to be frank you may see the last of himself. Everyone fights father time but Braun Strowman is the biggest threat he’s ever faced. His combination of speed and size and strength is unparallelled. If Cera is to find a way to win that elusive 17th title he’s going to have to push himself to the breaking point but maybe, just maybe, he has that in him on the grandest stage of them all. One thing is certain. Braun Strowman is in for the fight of his life and if he wants to keep that WWE Universal Championship he better bring everything he’s got because like the t-shirt says, Cena never gives up!

A moment later we see Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch are going at it and nearly every official in the back is trying to separate them. Lynch breaks free and jumps onto the officials in front of Rousey bowling everyone over as they get their hands on each other again. Now the women’s locker room has emptied and they’re trying to pull them apart. Finally Lynch is pulled away and while she’s defenseless for a moment Rousey moves in and punches her in the face before she’s pulled away again. Cole says they’re out of time but not to miss WrestleMania this Sunday!

An excellent match in which all participants get in some usual spots and a good bit of offense. The turn comes when Velveteen who’s been pummelled in the opposite corner makes the tag to Balor. Balor zips around the ring before focusing on Lashley as the legal man. He ends up hitting the Coup de Grace for the win as Velveteen intercepts Roode with a flying forearm to preserve the pin.

The announcers welcome us to the show and hype a big announcement later tonight by General Manager Drake Maverick.
Rating: 65
Jack Gallagher is making his return match following a few months on the shelf and though he doesn’t look rusty, Cedric Alexander is at the top of his game and even though both men get in about equal offense it’s Alexander’s Lumbar Check that gets the victory.
Winner by Pinfall: Cedric Alexander
Rating: 68
WWE Cruiserweight Champion Lio Rush is backstage with his title over his shoulder. He says this championship is a direct piece of evidence that he is the Man of the Hour. He earned this title through his own grit and hard work and there is no one….no one...who can ever take it from him.
Rating: 63
Cathy Kelley is backstage and tries to get GM Drake Maverick to spill the beans about his announcement but he says she needs to be patient and all will be revealed soon.

The Lucha House Party members are in firm control through the match and hit a bunch of high flying exciting moves before Metalik hits a frog splash off the top onto TJP for the win.
Winners by Pinfall: Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik

Buddy Murphy is in his locker room. He says that Fenix wants to talk about inner darkness but he has no idea what darkness Murphy is capable of. But the next time he gets his hands on Fenix he’ll show him and the world just how dark he can be.
Rating: 58
Maria Kanellis is backstage with her husband, who is still in a neck brace, ranting and raving about a lawsuit when Brian Kendrick walks up with a chair. He says they don’t need to settle in court when they can settle in the ring next week. And just so it’s finished….how about they make it Loser Leaves 205? Or in their case, losers. Maria quickly agrees as Mike looks on in shock. Kendrick nods then quickly acts like he’s going to swing the chair causing Mike to flinch and prove he’s not as hurt as he portrays. Kendrick laughs and walks on as Mike asks Maria is she knows what she’s done.
Rating: 72
Nese’s strength is evident from the start but Breeze digs deep and waits for an opening. When Nese misses a charging clothesline the corner Breeze hits the Beauty Shot for the win.
Winner by Pinfall: Tyler Breeze
Rating: 67
We’re taken to the office of General Manager Drake Maverick. He says that next week we’ll have a four way match to determine the new number one contender. It will be Buddy Murphy, King Fenix, Hideo Itami, and the newcomer Zack Sabre Jr.

Charlotte berates Paige for her recent “meddling” with Charlotte’s reign as Smackdown Live Women’s Champion. Paige finally has had enough and snaps back at Charlotte. The GM tells Charlotte that what she called meddling is actually called leadership and leaders make the hard choices such as...who is Charlotte going to wrestle tonight in the main event? Paige acts as if she’s thinking then points behind Charlotte. Charlotte turns and stops cold.
Trish is leaning against the wall. Before Charlotte can say anything Paige tells her that if Trish wins tonight in any fashion...count out...disqualification...we’ll be having a triple threat at WrestleMania. Both Paige and Trish walk off leaving Charlotte stunned.

We don’t even get the name of the guy facing Andrade and even if we did the match would have been nearly over by the time they finished saying it. With his entourage at ringside who Phillips refers to as a cartel, Andrade makes short work of his opponent and finishes him with hammerlock DDT.
Winner by Pinfall: Andrade Almas
Rating: 61
The ‘Cartel’ as Phillips called them gather in the ring. Andrade says time is up. He made it clear that he wants that United States title and either Rey is going to give it to him or he’s going to hurt the people Rey loves. Before he can go on, Mysterio comes out to the stage, still hobbled.
Mysterio says if Andrade wanted the match he only had to ask but since he has decided to take it upon himself to threaten Rey’s family...so yea, he’ll see Andrade at WrestleMania and he’s going to kick Andrade’s ass! The Cartel don’t appear happy about that and the scene ends with Mysterio and Andrade trash talking at each other.
Rating: 78
We’re taken to Becky Lynch in her locker room. She’s still showing the effects of the cheap shot Ronda Rousey gave her the night before. Becky says that she deserved what she got because she let her guard down for a split second and that’s all Ronnie needed. That’s a lesson learned champ because at WrestleMania there will be no split second distractions. There will be no lapses of concentration. There will be nothing but a singular focus to do whatever it takes to win that title and she means whatever it takes. Broken bones, blood sweat and tears, whatever it takes to walk out of WrestleMania with her hand held high. She thanks Rousey for waking her up and giving the Man a jolt of reality. In two weeks she’ll repay the favor.
Rating: 100
The New Day come to the ring and cut their usual promo which you either love or groan at but the crowd is very much into it. The topic of the promo is how the New Day are all good “brothers” and don’t feel the need to brag about it like some people which brings out their opponents.
Rating: 93
The New Day may be in party mode but the Good Brothers are all business and it shows in their performance. The actions trades back and forth but when Woods is hit with the Magic Killer it’s lights out.
Winner by Pinfall: Gallows and Anderson
Rating: 68
WWE Champion Daniel Bryan is backstage with Kayla Braxton. She asks him about the problems he foresees facing Finn Balor at WrestleMania but he spins off into a diatribe about how it’s nothing compared to the problems the planet faces at the hands of human beings. Human beings..like the kind of people who root for a mentally unstable person like Finn Balor who enjoys playing dress up like it’s Halloween. Well just as he fights for the planet, Daniel Bryan will fight for his championship and when he’s done it won’t be Halloween...it’ll be an important holiday, like Earth Day.

The Miz is here to host the most exciting talk show in WWE history. Welcome to Miz TV. The Miz’s guests are Samoa Joe and Rusev who’s long evolving rivalry was interrupted at Fastlane by SAnitY who attacked both men. Rusev and Joe both say that they would have won at Fastlane but before things turn physical….

Sanity arrives and they gather in the ring. The Miz tries to keep the peace but suddenly Young attacks him while his four men smother Rusev and Joe.
Suddenly from the back AJ Styles comes running down and gets into it but it’s still four on five.
We cut to the back and Randy Orton is watching everything on a monitor seemingly unsure what to do when he suddenly bolts from the monitor and a moment later he’s running down to the ring and the first thing he does is deliver an RKO to Young. SAnitY is quickly routed from the ring and regather on the outside as AJ, Orton, Miz, Rusev, and Joe have all put their grievances aside for the moment as they hold the ring.[/i]
Rating: 87
Carmella is all attitude as the match starts but Sonya quickly takes control and combines some MMA with power moves. Carmella get in a little offense near the end but Sonya end it with a triangle choke and Carmella taps out.
Winner by Submission: Sonya Deville
Rating: 47
We see the Bar backstage just before coming out while we hear Shinsuke Nakamura’s music in the background. Cesaro says the two slobs got lucky last week but tonight it’s payback. Sheamus says it’s time to up the bar! They then go through the curtain and we hear their music.
Rating: 70
The heels control the match focusing on Truth but when he goes between Sheamus’ legs and dives to make the tag to Otis the whole match turns around. Heavy Machinery takes over the match. When it's clear the tide has turned the Bar drop off the apron and return up the ramp leaving Nakamura behind and he quickly falls victim to the Compactor.
Winners by Pinfall: The Bar and Shinsuke Nakamura
Rating: 76
Kayla Braxton is backstage with Trish Stratus and asks her about her match tonight with Charlotte Flair. Trish says coming back into WWE as the Women’s Division is reaching new heights as really reinvigorated her love of what she does. She may win tonight and she may lose, but one thing is for sure. Charlotte is going to know she’s in a fight tonight!

As Charlotte rolls out of the ring dazed and in shock she’s caught between Trish celebrating in the ring and Asuka who’s come out onto the stage as the show ends.
Rating: 89
Overall: 88
Charlotte tries to end this one as quickly as she can but no matter what she does she can’t get Trish in position for either Natural Selection or the Figure Eight. When she tries for the submission, Trish shoves her rear end and Charlotte crashes through the turnbuckles, hitting the post. The Hall of Famer begins showing signs of life as she takes it to the Champ including the ‘flip over the turnbuckles and run along the apron’ routine but Charlotte catches a Chick Kick to the face on the apron. Trish rolls Charlotte back in the ring but the champion ambushes the challenger as Trish slides back in. Charlotte goes for Natural Selection but Trish dodges it and connects with another Chick Kick which drops the champ and Trish gets the win.

Stephanie comes out and says due to last week’s attack on Kurt Angle by Brock Lesnar she is here to handle RAW’s business. She hypes WrestleMania in two weeks and the big matches involving RAW superstars, but there’s one in particular that she doesn’t mention but she’s suddenly reminded.

Balor comes out to a great crowd reaction. He gets in the ring and asks her why she didn’t mention his match for the WWE Title. She says that frankly as the winner of the Royal Rumble he had a choice to make and he chose...Smackdown Live. So sorry----not sorry----she doesn’t care about that match.
Balor counters with an acknowledgement of his choice and that she may not care but the WWE Universe cartes and when he wins that title he won’t have to ever see her again. She takes that in stride but says since he’s so sure he’ll win, he won’t mind a little warm up and that match happens...right now.
Rating: 89
A pure set up, Balor gets battered by both bigger men but an opening presents itself when Lashley is holding Balor for a double team but Balor slips loose and Corbin delivers a boot in Lashley’s face, knocking him out of the ring. Balor catches fire, and a few moments later he soars off the top with the Coup de Grace for the win.
Winner byPinfall: Finn Balor

Bayley is her normal happy go lucky self backstage when she’s suddenly blindsided by Nia Jax. As Nia steps over her and moves on the announcers question what kind of shape Bayley will be for her match with Nia tonight.
Rating: 84
The heels control the match but Velveteen gets the eventual hot tag and shows off his moves cleaning the ring of both Roode and Elias. Elias, the legal man, ends up on the bad end of the Dream Valley Driver and then as Velveteen climbs to the top, RVD makes a blind tag. Elias is hit with the Purple Rainmaker and then a Five Star Frogsplash in quick succession leading to a big victory for Dream and RVD.
Winners by Pinfall: Velveteen Dream and Rob Van Dam
Rating: 74
RVD and Velveteen Dream celebrate their victory while Roode and Elias are angry outside the ring.

We catch the Riott Squad backstage. Ruby is furious that none of them were able to beat Ember Moon the last three weeks. Ruby says people are laughing at them but tonight it’s time to remind everyone why they’re so dangerous. Logan and Morgan nod in agreement.
Rating: 65
We’re taken to the ring where Michael Cole is. He introduces the RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey and her challenger, the Man Becky Lynch. Cole talks about how they will be the first female main event in WrestleMania history. Lynch says that’s all well and good but her focus is that championship Ronda wears around her waist. Rousey says that Becky can look all she wants but she will never defeat her to win it. Becky asks how Ronda can be so sure and Ronda replies that she’s seen people like Becky her whole life. People who run their mouth and then get their mouths shut. Becky stands and asks if maybe Ronda would like to shut her mouth right now. Ronda stands and this brings Cole between them pleading for things to remain civil. Both women seem to calm for the moment and Ronda even offers a handshake. Becky smirks and shakes it but as soon as she does Ronda catches her with a left hand. Stunned momentarily, Becky is easy pickings for Rousey who hits the Pipers Pit. As she heads back up the ramp with her title held in the air, Ronda doesn’t see Becky trying to get up with a busted lip but looking determined nonetheless.
Rating: 100
Stephanie is walking backstage when she’s approached by a very swarmy Paul Heyman. Heyman says he’s here not to gloat but to put forth an idea. His client, BROCK LESNAR, hereby requests that he be given Kurt Angle at WrestleMania. Stephanie reminds Heyman Angle isn’t even at RAW because of the attack last week but Heyman says that’s not his problem. And if she doesn’t give Brock what he wants...well...that worked out real well for Kurt didn’t it? Heyman walks off leaving Stephanie with an expression of anger mixed with concern.

We see a replay of Alexa Bliss attacking Natalya backstage a week ago.
Rating: 87
I Quit Match
Bliss uses dirty tricks to take an early advantage and make perfect use of the no disqualification rules but she can’t get Natalya to submit to her Anaconda Vise. Natalya fights back and pays Alexa back for everything she’s put Natalya through the last weeks before putting her in the Sharpshooter in the middle of the ring and Alexa screams that she quits.
Winner by Submission: Natalya
Rating: 71
Backstage the new RAW Tag Team Champions are bragging to everyone they meet how they beat the AOP. That is until they come face to face with the former champs. The AOP glance at each other and launch into an attack. The two teams brawl for a moment before the Revival get the idea that it’s best if they leave and quickly pick up their belts and run off with the AOP on their heels.
Rating: 65
Bayley knows she needs to take it to Nia off the bat and she puts Nia on her heels from the opening bell. Everything is looking good until Bayley appears to tweak her knee. Nia immediately takes control. With Bayley down, Nia bounds off the ropes and splashes her for a three count.
Winner by Pinfall: Nia Jax
Rating: 76
As Bayley recovers from her loss and the referee checks on her leg Nia quickly leaves the ring. Suddenly, the Riott Squad come running down the ramp and slide in.
Like a pack of wolves they’re all over Bayley. Ruby dips to the outside to collect a chair but before she can get back in Sasha Banks and Ember Moon run down and clear Morgan and Logan from the ring.
Even with the chair the Riotts don’t look like they want to get back in the ring and slowly make their exit while Bayley’s friends make sure she’s safe.
Rating: 76
Charly Caruso is standing by with Bobby Roode. He says that Velveteen Dream has finally done it. He’s made the biggest mistake of his life and that is because he’s now on Roode’s radar. Roode is honest in saying that he didn’t take him seriously and attributed some victories to flukes but no...Dream is a talent. He’s a threat. And what does Roode do to threats? Go ask anyone he’s ever been in the ring with. Roode says he hopes Dream enjoys being at his first WrestleMania because it will be his last!

WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman marches down to the ring. He says that in two weeks he’s going to face the man many consider to be the greatest of all time. And in two weeks he’s going to plant him right here in the middle of the ring. Cena says Strowman can’t see him but all Cena is going to see are these….holding up his hands…..when he Gets. These. Hands.
Without warning Mojo Rawley comes out interrupting the champion. He says he’s been in the back for too long and he’s ready to get hyped all over Strowman. Strowman tells him to shut the
hell up and get a ref so he can get this over.

As the brawl continues, Stephanie comes out onto the stage. She tells all four men that if they want to destroy and maim each other that bad then they can wait until WrestleMania. It will be Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose against Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler...inside Hell in a Cell!
All four men at first look shocked but when they begin to eye each other it’s clear they look forward to it.
Rating: 86

Rollins is consistently double teamed and even when he makes a tag to Ambrose, the referee disallows it. Ambrose is growing more and more frustrated and when Ziggler taunts him one too many times he’s had enough. Ambrose comes flying into the ring which brings in McIntyre and now it’s a four man brawl. The referee has lost control and calls for the bell as chaos ensues.
Result: Double Disqualification.

John Cena comes out to his usual 50/50 crowd split but he seems to enjoy it. He gets in the ring and says last night he spoke from the heart when he talked about what drives him and what motivates him going into WrestleMania. Braun Strowman is the biggest challenge of his career and in three weeks he’s going to stand right in this ring and say……
Suddenly Strowman appears on the tron.
Strowman tells Cena he’ll finish that sentence. In three weeks John Cena will stand in that ring and say I couldn’t get the job done. Paul Heyman likes to call them spoilers but for the Monster among men it’s just the truth. Cena has had a great run, a hall of fame first ballot career but that doesn’t mean anything when Strowman puts him on his shoulder and drives him into that mat for the 1-2-3. In three weeks Braun Strowman will show John Cena is like everyone else when he gets….these….hands.
Cena just watches the tron as they have a long distance stare down as we go to commercial.

The new RAW Tag Team Champions the Revival are backstage with Charly Caruso. She congratulates them and they thank her. Dawson talks about how the past months the Revival have been on a journey of self awareness. They now know who to really thank for the support and belief that paid off in winning these belts last night. The guys look at each other and nod before smiling and saying ‘Ourselves!’ at the same time. Wilder says nobody believed in them except themselves. Nobody liked them except themselves. When Charly asks about some Revival chants in the crowd last night they roll their eyes and tell her that the Revival has never needed the WWE Universe and they never will. Why would the champs want the support of millions of losers living vicariously through the new RAW Tag Team Champions? They walk off with big smiles as she shakes her head.

Ziggler calls them losers which almost sets Ambrose off but Rollins calms him down. Rollins says last night they won and he can’t take that away from them but he and Dean aren’t done yet. He then challenges them to another match. McIntyre seems to find this amusing and says they’d love to embarrass Rollins and Ambrose again. Ziggler steps in and tells them they’re not feeling it tonight, they’re too busy basking in their victory. So they’ll see Dean and Seth next week and walk off.

Velveteen Dream comes out to the stage and says the time has come for that title to be elevated as only the Dream can do. It’s time for a new era for the Intercontinental Championship and look no farther for your savior. All that is standing in the way of himself and his destiny...is Bobby Roode. He likes to call himself Glorious, but he ain’t seen Glorious until he sees the Dream at the grandest stage of them all.
Roode seems dismissive at first until Dream reminds him that he just doesn’t want to be embarrassed again since Dream has beaten him twice. Roode grows angry and says it will will feel absolutely GLORIOUS to put this punk down for good. Dream poses for the crowd from the stage as we go to break, having gotten his title opportunity.

Rating: 78
LADIES…..AND GENTLEMEN…….
Paul Heyman comes down to the ring. He introduces himself and says that for the last several weeks he has done what an Advocate should do. He’s gone through the chain of command and he’s put in front of Kurt Angle an idea so big that it would wipe any WrestleMania match off it’s pedestal. Hogan-Andre? Nothing. Michaels-Taker? Forget about it. Braun Strowman….John Cena…..BROCK LESNAR! Now that is a match! But Kurt Angle has turned a blind eye for doing what’s best for business. So tonight he is here not as an advocate he’s here as the advocate for the BEAST. Kurt Angle will come out here and he will add BROCK LESNAR to that match…..
Kurt Angle’s music hits and he comes down to the ring. Heyman backs up a few steps when Angle gets in the ring. Angle dares him to finish that sentence because it sounded like he was going to say or else. So Angle wants to make it crystal clear. There is nothing Heyman can say to make him add Lesnar to the match. Heyman’s expression softens. He holds his hands up and approaches Kurt, putting his hand over the mic but you can still hear. He’s begging Kurt to do it. He doesn’t want what’s going to happen next to occur. Heyman looks as sincere as we’ve ever seen him but Angle pulls the mic back and gives his one word answer: no.

Brock Lesnar comes out and stomps down to the ring. He gets in and Heyman approaches, trying to talk him down but he gets shoved away. Lesnar walks up to Angle who doesn’t back down. Lesnar turns his head to tell Heyman, who’s still pleading, to shut up. This draws Angle’s attention and without notice Lesnar kicks him low. Lesnar quickly picks up Angle and delivers an F5. Angle is down in a heap as Lesnar just smiles and leaves the ring with Heyman trailing behind.
Suddenly Lesnar stops and looks back at Angle. He moves past Heyman and slides back in the ring. He picks up Angle from behind and delivers a german suplex. Then another. And another. Lesnar shoves Angle out of the ring with his shoe and follows to the outside. Angle is completely defenseless as Angle picks him up on his shoulders and parades around the rind before hitting another F5 into the ringpost. Angle is barely moving if at all and officials stream down to the ring forcing a smiling Lesnar to leave.

Crews is still sore over last week’s match and it’s another clash of strength versus strength. The match goes back and forth but Crews begins to take control and gets a two count on a spinebuster catching Lashley off the ropes. Lashley rolls to the outside but Crews bounds off the ropes and soars over the top rope, wiping out Lashley. Crews gets back in the ring and the referee begins his count. Lashley is on his feet at six, but just waves his hand dismissively, walking to the back and the referee completes his ten count.

The Man is here and she marches down to the ring and collects the RAW Women’s Championship belt. She steps into the ring with the belt and looks down at it for a moment before walking up to Rousey. Becky holds out the belt to Ronda but when Ronda goes to reach for it, Becky drops it. Ronda looks down at the belt, up at Becky and the two go nose toose as officials come down to the ring and make sure nothing gets out of hand but the show ends with neither woman backing down.

A great matchup between these two who give it their all. Ronda is constantly on the defense as Sasha brings her A-game and nearly scores a victory off the double knee stomp in the corner. Ronda is hurting but delves keep and fights back, showing off her judo and striking skills. Now it’s Sasha who’s in trouble. She kicks out of the Piper’s Pit but Ronda immediately locks in the arm bar and Sasha has to tap.

Nia drops several elbows before Becky rolls to the outside to recover. Nia follows but when she charges Becky who is leaning against the ringpost, Becky moves and Nia smacks the post head first. Becky starts her comeback, tagging Nia with several right hands, before hitting a jumping knee to the face off the apron which drops Nia. Becky gets back in the ring and the referee begins his count but Nia beats the ten count at the last second. Becky goes back on the attack but Nia catches her second wind and cinches in a bear hug. Becky begins tiring and the referee checks her arm. It falls once, twice, but on the third Becky stops her arm and begins feeling the energy of the crowd. She delivers three right hands but Nia won’t let go, so Becky bites her on her nose. Nia drops her and shoves her away. Becky tries to whip Nia into the opposite corner but Nia reverses and Becky hits hard. Nia charges shoulder first but Becky moves and Nia hits the post. She backs up slowly buy Becky dropkicks her in the rear driving her back into the post. Nia backs out fully, bent over and holding her shoulder. Becky grabs her and with ultimate effort hits a snap suplex. She doesn’t waste time and locks in the Dis-Arm-Her. Nia tries to reach the ropes but she’s too far away and with her arm in a bad way she has to tap.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="color:#000000;">Winner by Submission: Becky Lynch</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#000000;"> Rating: 75 </span></strong></p></div><div style="text-align:center;"></div><div></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> <img alt="bQ2uCXT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bQ2uCXT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="7aSM0Ks.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7aSM0Ks.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <em>As Nia licks her wounds on the outside, holding onto her arm, Becky celebrates from the corner with her fans.</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="color:#000000;">Rating: 82 </span></strong></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="bQ2uCXT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bQ2uCXT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="JslOxFn.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/JslOxFn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="oBTi9w7.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/oBTi9w7.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <em>We see Paul Heyman outside Kurt Angle’s office.

Joe holds the momentum battering Rusev around ringside, but when the crowd begins chanting ‘Rusev Day’ the Super-Athlete comes alive, and turns the tables on Joe, backdropping him onto the Spanish announcer’s table. Rusev and Joe trade the advantage back and forth, with Joe at one point locking in the Kokina Clutch. Rusev only dislodges him by diving into the corner and forcing Joe to hit the top turnbuckle face first. Both men are looking the worse for wear but Rusev keeps pushing, hitting a senton off the second top but Joe kicks out. Joe rolls out of the ring, staggering back towards the announcer’s table. Rusev follows and walks into a series of strikes. When Rusev turns away, Joe puts him in the Kokina again. Rusev rams him into the edge of the announcer’s table several times before he lets go. When he’s free, Rusev turns and nails the Machka Kick. Joe is dazed and rolls onto the table. Rusev follows and puts him in the Accolade on top of the announcer’s table. Joe is fading but before he can tap, all five members of SAnitY swarm them, coming from the audience. </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="FqOmjbD.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FqOmjbD.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="h7gmm9C.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/h7gmm9C.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="yxZj5cj.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/yxZj5cj.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="uLaYwFi.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/uLaYwFi.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="gdvEDAa.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/gdvEDAa.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Harper and Rowan take care of Joe while Young, Wolfe, and Dain focus on Rusev.

Ziggler and McIntyre trade turns picking Ambrose apart as Rollins is desperate to make the tag. The opening happens when McIntyre goes for an early Claymore which Ambrose ducks and dives to his corner to make the tag. Rollins is on fire, hitting a series of slingblade clotheslines on McIntyre then nailing a pinpoint dropkick on Ziggler, sending him off the apron. McIntyre looks dazed as Rollins keeps up the action and when the referee forces him way as McIntyre is in the ropes, Ambrose comes over and gets in some shots to the crowd’s delight.. McIntyre staggers to the middle of the ring where Rollins connects with a running knee to the jaw Rollins looks to his corner and Ambrose who’s dying for the tag. With a look to the crowd for their approval the tag is made and Ambrose is ready for round two. He goes after McIntyre and Ziggler back and forth. Ambrose goes to the second rope to measure McIntyre for a elbow but Ziggler connects with a superkick and Ambrose tumbles to the outside. Meanwhile as Rollins comes into the ring to protest and the referee blocks him, McIntyre blasts them both with a splash into the corner. With Ambrose on the outside and the referee down, McIntyre and Ziggler take advantage double teaming Rollins. Suddenly Ambrose is up and grabs a chair from ringside. He slides in and jabs Ziggler in the ribs before winding up to swing at McIntyre, but Drew moves and Ambrose swings at Rollins. At the very last second he’s able to pull back and the two teammates stare at each other for a moment before McIntyre has bounded off the ropes and delivers a Claymore to the back of Ambrose’s head, knocking him--and the chair--into Rollins, sending the Kingslayer to the outside. McIntyre makes the cover and Ziggler drags the referee over to make the three count.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="color:#000000;">Winners by Pinfall: Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#000000;"> Rating: 81 </span></strong></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> <img alt="bQ2uCXT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bQ2uCXT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <iframe width=”250" height="125" src="<a href="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fHujz4QB9oI" rel="external nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/embed/fHujz4QB9oI"</a> frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="color:#000000;">Rating: 80 </span></strong></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="bQ2uCXT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bQ2uCXT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="oBTi9w7.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/oBTi9w7.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <em>When we come back to the ring Kurt Angle is there, with a table and two chairs set up.

As Maverick shouts instructions Akam and Rezar punish him and the one time he gets close to a tag, Akam runs over and blasts Wilder off the apron before dragging Dawson back to their corner where Rezar drops an elbow on his back. The match continues in the same fashion with Dawson barely able to kick out of a few pin attempts. Finally, with Dawson barely moving Maverick yells for the tag. He makes the cover but Wilder not only breaks it up, he grabs Maverick and launches him into the Revival’s corner. Maverick hits hard and lands in a heap. Wilder gets back into the corner and yells for Dawson to make the tag. Dawson drags himself but right before he gets there, Rezar gets in the ring and distracts the referee who misses the tag, When the ref turns around he forces Wilder out of the ring. Meanwhile Akam is trying to drag Maverick back to the champions’ corner but Dawson has Maverick by the hair. Maverick screams in pain as he’s pulled in two directions but Dawson reaches up and makes the tag. Wilder hits the ring and smashes Akam in the face with a forearm before whipping him into Rezar who had just entered the ring. The AOP are staggered and the Revival send them over the top with dual clotheslines. Maverick now recognizes his position and he tries to exit the ring but the Revival catch him by the waistline of his pants. Dawson is tagged back in while Wilder runs around the ring and dropkicks Rezar into Akam, stunning them again. Dawson meanwhile has hit a few old school moves such as an atomic drop and the old ten count while slamming Maverick’s head into the turnbuckles. Wilder hops up onto the apron and gets the tag and the challengers quickly hit the Shatter Machine. As the referee makes the count, Akam and Rezar are stepping through the ropes and Wilder kicks the middle rope crotching them both and letting the referee finish his count. </p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="color:#000000;">Winners by Pinfall and new RAW Tag Team Champions: The Revival</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#000000;"> Rating: 63</span></strong></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> <img alt="bQ2uCXT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bQ2uCXT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="ABPaOdl.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ABPaOdl.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="KRahjFl.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/KRahjFl.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Yx7xaQJ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Yx7xaQJ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <em>As the Revival grab their belts and run out of there, the AOP are stunned, before turning their eyes to Drake Maverick who is still laying there stunned.

A quick conversation is had and it is announced that on the orders of WWE Chairman, Mr. McMahon, this match is now a No Disqualification match! Prichard turns and heads back up the ramp as Charlotte’s eyes gleam with delight.</p><p> </p><p> When the match actually begins Asuka begins by kicking at the tree trunk legs of Kharma. Asuka’s speed advantage is evident as she dodges the attempted strikes and counters Kharma time after time. Charlotte Flair jumps on the apron and the momentary distraction allows Kharma to flatten Asuka with a kick to the stomach followed by a double axe handle to the back. Then to add some more pain she steps on Asuka while holding onto the ropes until the referee reaches a four count. When Kharma moves away, Charlotte moves in, punching Asuka several times. Kharma keeps up punishing Asuka with power moves and gets a two count following an avalanche in the corner. Kharma climbs to the second rope but Asuka is up and stuns her with a punch to the gut. Asuka climbs up to the second rope as well and delivers a DDT from the second rope. Asuka makes the cover 1, 2, Charlotte puts Kharma’s foot on the rope. Asuka has had enough and goes to the outside, stalking Charlotte who is backing up and making excuses. Charlotte tries to slide into the ring but Asuka catches her foot and pulls her back out and begins laying into the Smackdown Live Women’s Champion. With Charlotte on the ground Asuka returns to the ring but as she nears her opponent, Kharma launches a knee to the gut and drops her with a headbutt. Charlotte, who appears to be bleeding from the mouth or her lip, gets back to her feet before reaching under the ring and pulling out a table. As Kharma continues her assault, Charlotte sets up the table at the foot of the ramp, shouting to Kharma to get her attention. Kharma drags Asuka by her hair closer to that side of the ring and picks her up in powerbomb position. Charlotte climbs onto the ropes and looks to assist but Asuka begins punching Kharma who staggers back. Asuka then is able to use her weight and momentum to turn it into a hurricanrana, launching Kharma into Charlotte who falls off the apron and goes through the table! Kharma staggers back and Asuka kicks her behind the knee, dropping her to one knee. Asuka plays to the crowd and hits the Asuka Kick to Kharma’s temple, putting her flat on her back. Asuka quickly moves to the top turnbuckle and flies off with an elbow drop for the win. She’s going to WrestleMania!</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="color:#000000;">Winner by Pinfall: Asuka</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#000000;"> Rating: 80 </span></strong></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> <img alt="bQ2uCXT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bQ2uCXT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="ZJdcVYY.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ZJdcVYY.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="18ceS9A.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/18ceS9A.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <em>After a hard fought victory Asuka celebrates her win and locks eyes with Charlotte, who is still laying in the remnants of the table, and who looks very concerned.</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="color:#000000;">Rating: 89 </span></strong></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="bQ2uCXT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bQ2uCXT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="92LZbun.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/92LZbun.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="FDIrk8S.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FDIrk8S.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="jftzXLz.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/jftzXLz.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <em>The announcers hype Wrestlemania which will be taking place in three weeks from Met Life Stadium. </em></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="5y5blUn.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5y5blUn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="3I3PgTp.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/3I3PgTp.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="pURPsmo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pURPsmo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="oMamLvy.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/oMamLvy.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="color:#000000;">Rating: 100</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="bQ2uCXT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bQ2uCXT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="GIoEeM8.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GIoEeM8.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Em8yRZT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Em8yRZT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="FsmVQ4w.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FsmVQ4w.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <em>A video package is shown highlighting the build to tonight’s main event, a triple threat match between Daniel Bryan, AJ Styles, and Randy Orton for the WWE Championship.</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="color:#000000;">Rating: 92</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="bQ2uCXT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bQ2uCXT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46077" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p><img alt="0EgdfPo.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/0EgdfPo.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><div style="text-align:center;"><p> </p><p> <img alt="bQ2uCXT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bQ2uCXT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="GIoEeM8.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GIoEeM8.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <em>Daniel Bryan doesn’t waste time collecting his title and seems to be very pleased with himself for stealing that win but as he walks up the ramp the lights go out.

The two of them out on a mini clinic back and forth. Orton picks his spot and slides in when Styles almost has Bryan in the Styles Clash and bashes AJ over the back. He then begins putting the boots to both opponents, but soon Styles and Bryan discover their common enemy and a quick partnership is formed. Orton finds himself on the end of the best of both men as both of them hit some signature moves. At one point Styles sets up Orton for a superplex but Bryan comes in and surprises them both aiding in it by turning it into a powerbomb on Styles as well. Without warning, the C.O.O. makes his way down the ramp and stands at ringside with a look of concern.</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="zUzuag6.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/zUzuag6.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> With Styles down Bryan sets his sights on Orton and begins laying what Booker informs us are now called the 3 R’s in place of the Yes Kicks. As he kicks Orton Bryan shouts a word with each kick. Reduce! Reuse! Recycle! When he’s done he begins a new cycle of kicks and chants. Bryan goes to the apron and begins climbing to the top but Orton races up to meet him and delivers a superplex. Bryan rolls out of the ring upon impact. Orton moves to AJ and picks him up, putting him on top of the ropes before climbing up. It’s clear he has another superplex in mind but AJ lays in a few right hands and with Orton stunned AJ pulls off a sunset flip powerbomb. The referee begins to count 1…...2…...Triple H pulls the referee out of the ring by his foot!</p><p> </p><p> Triple H looks down at the referee and begins arguing with him. The referee seems to want to eject the C.O.O. but lacks the authority to do so. Just then Shane McMahon runs down the ramp.</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="Vb0wBOf.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Vb0wBOf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Shane gets between Triple H and the referee shouting at his brother in law and asking what he’s doing. Triple H tells him not to worry about it. Shane turns to tell the referee to get back in the ring and as soon as his back is turned Triple H nails him in the back of the head. Shane stumbles but recovers and turns on Triple H firing back with his own rights and lefts. They begin fighting up the ramp and to the back with officials coming out to seperate them. AJ Styles has been watching all of this giving Randy Orton time to recover and when the referee gets back in the ring, AJ turns right into an RKO. Orton is all smiles motioning the referee over for the cover but when he turns AJ over, Daniel Bryan slides back in the ring and throws Orton over the top rope before quickly covering AJ for the win.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="color:#000000;">Winner by Pinfall and still WWE Champion: Daniel Bryan</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#000000;"> </span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#000000;"> Rating: 86 </span></strong></p><p></p></div></blockquote></div><p></p>

The Coach and Booker T welcome us to the show. They talk about last week and how once again Lashley got involved in a Cruiserweight title match and also how Mike Kanellis tried to end Brian Kendrick’s career. Booker tells us tonight is going to be non stop action.

Sin Cara tries to keep the action fast paced but Itami eventually grounds him and slows things down as he punishes the masked man. Itami finally puts him away with double knee jawbreaker.

We’re taken backstage with an angry Brian Kendrick. He speaks directly to the Kanellis’ through the camera. He says what Mike and Maria tried to do to him last week went beyond anything in his nightmares. But he’s awake and he sees them for everything they are and everything they’re capable of and with God as his witness, they haven’t seen the last of Brian Kendrick.

Lio Rush is standing by with Cathy Kelley. He’s smug with his title belt over his shoulder. He talks about how last week he showed that Cedric Alexander isn’t in his league. He also showed everyone that he is the greatest Cruiserweight of all time. When Kelley tries to bring up Bobby Lashley Rush cuts her off and says the champ is busy and walks away.

A good back and forth match between these two. Gulak tries to be more tactical in his approach but Breeze makes a comeback and hits a flurry of moves. Gulak is stunned and that sets up the Beauty Shot for the win.

Mike and Maria Kanellis are backstage. She asks if he heard what Brian Kendrick said earlier and they both laugh with Mike bad mouthing Kendrick as a has been, a loser, a…….
Brian Kendrick comes from off screen and whacks Kanellis in the back with a chair. Kanellis doens’t go down but he’s in pain. When he turns around Kendrick jabs him in the stomach with the chair before delivering another back shot as he’s doubled over, putting Mike on his face. Maria is screaming for help as Kendrick just walks away with a big smile.

Murphy doesn’t take Ali serious but his attitude opens the door for Ali to make an early assault and stun the Juggernaut. Ali is attacking from every angle, just perpetual motion. It ends as quickly as it started when he runs into a powerful clothesline from Murphy. From there Murphy is no longer uninterested in hurting his opponent and he finishes Ali off a few minutes later with Murphy’s Law.
Winner by Pinfall: Buddy Murphy
Rating: 63
Murphy is up on the turnbuckles telling everyone within earshot that he’s the biggest and best when King Fenix comes running down to the ring and slides in. He comes up behind Murphy and delivers a german suplex. Murphy is stunned and Fenix keeps it up, bouncing off the rope and drop kicking him right in the face. Murphy rolls to the outside trying to clear his head when Fenix takes a running drive and corkscrews into Muphy sending him into the barrier. Fenix closes in, intent on more payback but Murphy shoves him away and hops over the barrier and into the crowd to escape as the show ends.

These two square off going power for power and neither man gets very far before the other turns the tide. Near the end they spill to the outside after Crews clotheslines Lashley over the top. Lashley gets to his feet first, pulling himself up near the timekeeper and when Crews rushes him, Lashley hits him in the head with the ring bell and it’s an easy call for the referee to declare a disqualification.

Kurt Angle is in his office when the Revival come in, clearly still angry from Dawson’s earlier loss. They tell Angle that if Maverick wants to get involved against the Top Guys he needs to be in the match. They then ask him to turn their RAW Tag Team Championship match with AOP this Sunday into a handicap match with Maverick tagging with his men. Angle agrees though he says he doesn’t know why they’d want an extra opponent against someone like AOP.

He says all week people have been asking why he did what he did last week and it’s as if people have been living under a Rock. It’s no secret that he and Seth Rollins have not been seeing eye to eye for a long long time. It’s also no secret that he has done everything in his power to punish Seth Rollins. Ambrose pauses, gritting his teeth before continuing to say that Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler must be only children because they didn’t know that the only people allowed to punish a brother, is another brother. So now tonight he’s going to have to show Drew McIntyre what happens when you overstep.

Rawley controls the early minutes and he’s hyped for the biggest match of his career, even getting a two count on Cena following a shoulder tackle from the second rope but from there it’s all downhill. Cena makes his usual comeback, hits his spots and lands the AA for the 123.
Winner by Pinfall: John Cena
Rating: 80
Walking up the ramp, Cena is met by Charly Caruso who asks him what’s his mindset going into Fastlane’s contract signing and more importantly WrestleMania. He thinks for a moment and simply replies ‘Never Give Up.’

As Ambrose is beaten in the ring by both McIntyre and Ziggler Seth Rollins watches on a monitor backstage. He’s clearly of two minds but finally he can’t watch any longer. Rollins takes off to the ring and a moment later the crowd cheers when they see him. Rollins slides in and begins attacking both men. It allows Ambrose to get a breath and soon he’s back in the fight and it’s two on two. It doesn’t take long for Rollins and Ambrose to clear the ring. The crowd is on its feet as they watch one another. Rollins gets a mic and says that he heard what Ambrose said earlier, and they may have issues between one another but you don’t mess with his brother! He then turns to McIntyre and Ziggler and says at Fastlane he wants them in a tag match….if he can find a partner. He then sticks his fist out towards Ambrose. Now it’s Ambrose turn to look conflicted but he takes turns staring at Rollins, then to the duo outside before putting his fist to Rollins’ and the crowd erupts. McIntyre and Ziggler on the outside do not look pleased at this development.

No sooner are we back from commercial than we hear the music of Becky Lynch and she comes down to the ring. She gets a mic and talks about how her life changed because of two things. The fans believing in her and Nia Jax’s right hand. Well when she goes into WrestleMania and takes Ronnie’s pride and joy she wants to do so with a clean slate and there is one little mark that’s keeping her from that and that would be Nia Jax and on Sunday she’s going to take care of that blemish.

Nia Jax comes out to the ring and the two get face to face. Jax is very dismissive of Lynch which ends when Lynch punches her and the fight is on. They brawl around the ring and Lynch is getting the better of it but when they go to the outside, Lynch leaps off the apron onto Jax but Nia catches her and rams her into the ringpost several times. After dropping a heavy leg drop onto Lynch, Nia seems to get an idea. She picks Becky up and puts her on her shoulders and walks around the ring, walking up the stairs to the apron. Nia’s got an evil smile as it becomes apparent what she’s got planned. With Cole and Renee pleading from afar for her to stop, Nia falls off the apron and delivers a Samoan drop to the floor below. Becky is barely moving as officials rush to her. Nia is shaken for a moment but she recovers and when she sees the carnage she just pulls herself to her feet and watches as the show ends.

This one is a brawl from the opening bell and the action flows from the inside to the outside and back again with each man landing some stiff looking offense. McIntyre hits a superplex but Ambrose kicks out at the very last second. McIntyre grows impatient, shouting at the referee for what he feels is a slow count, but this self inflicted distraction turns disastrous when he bends down to pick up Ambrose and he’s pulled into a small package as the referee counts to three...a little faster than before.

Sun Arena at Casey Plaza----Wilkes Barre, PA
When the show begins WWE Champion Daniel Bryan is in the ring. He looks very troubled and tells the audience that the way he is treated is a crime. But much in the way of how Mother Earth is treated, it’s a crime that nobody seems to pay the price for. Well at Fastlane that will change. Shane McMahon wants to put AJ Styles in his way? He’ll get hurt...like Finn Balor. Triple H wants to put Randy Orton in his way? He’ll get hurt...like Finn Balor. The planet is ready to fight back and he’s going to make sure that when it’s all over, this belt still belongs to the Planet’s Champion.

Backstage Charlotte is in all her glory as Kharma looms behind her. Charlotte says that destiny is a funny thing. You’re either destined for greatness as she is, or you’re just like everyone else. This title is her destiny. This title means more to her than anything in the world. And it doesn’t matter who comes calling to try and take it away, the Queen still rules. She grins slightly, running her fingers along the gem stones before closing with a reminder that if you want to get to the Queen, you have to go through her, jabbing her thumb in Kharma’s direction.

Becky Lynch is in her locker room. She says everyone around here just talks and talks. Charlotte won’t shut up. Ronda won’t shut up. Nia won’t shut up and it just gives her a splitting headache. Some people take an aspirin. Some people lay down and try to sleep it off. But that’s not what the Man does. The Man takes her fist and she puts it into those loud mouths until they close and become silent. Next Monday night she’s coming to RAW for one reason. To create some peace and quiet.

We’re taken back to Mexico as the limo carrying Andrade, Zelina, and Kaval pulls up to a shady looking warehouse building in a bad part of town. They exit the car and walk in where a likely illegal cage fight is happening. Fight may be too optimistic. One guy is completely dominating his opponent, throwing him around the makeshift cage and just beating the hell out of him. Zelina smiles, pointing at the man. When it’s over the brute leaves the cage, walking up to them.
Zelina introduces him to Andrade, calling him Dagan. Andrade tells him the money is good. Dagan shakes that off and asks if he’ll get to hurt people. Andrade says yes, many people. Dagan walks past him and gets into the car.
As Kaval gets back in the car Zelina looks at Andrada with a stern expression as the breeze moves through her hair. ‘And what now?’ she asks. Andrade finally looks as if she’s shaken his self doubt. “We return.” he says as they both look off to the north.

We cut to the parking garage where Charlotte Flair and Kharma are about to leave when suddenly Asuka enters the picture and slams the trunk down on Kharma as she’s putting her bags in there. Charlotte sees what’s happening but when she comes around the car a wild eyed Asuka attacks her too before throwing Charlotte across the hood of a nearby car. Officials and other wrestlers flood out and in the chaos Charlotte and Kharma quickly drive off. Asuka is rambling in Japanese when Paige shows up.
She tells Asuka that at Fastlane she’ll get her match with Kharma and if she wins, she’ll face Charlotte at WrestleMania for the Smackdown Live Women’s Championship. Asuka takes that in and seems pleased by the news and as the show ends we see a closeup of Asuka’s face and her smile.
