The announcers welcome us to the show. They hype the evening’s card, and immediately send it down to the ring for our opening match.

Rating: 8.8

The match goes along the way you might think going in. The heels control the early moments by isolating Rollins but he eventually gets the tag to Balor who takes over the match. Lashley comes in to disrupt but Rollins takes him over the top with a clothesline and then hits the ropes for a suicide dive. Balor makes the tag to Strowman who bulldozes Corbin and Mahal. Corbin is legal and takes a beating from Strowman. Mahal goes to the top but Strowman crotches him, before picking up Corbin on one shoulder and then amazingly walking over and putting Mahal on the other. He runs in a small circle before delivering a double powerslam as the crowd goes crazy. He tags in Balor who flies off the top with the Coup de Grace on Corbin for the win.

Winners by Pinfall: Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins, and Finn Balor
Rating: 7.0

Strowman, Rollins, and Balor celebrate in the ring as the heels lick their wounds on the outside.

Rating: 8.6

Jeff Hardy is hanging out backstage when Eric Young walks up to him. Then Killian Dain. Then Alexander Wolfe. Then Harper and Rowan are behind Hardy. Hardy knows what’s coming and launches himself at Young, getting a few shots in but he’s quickly swamped by Sanity. The mad men deliver their most brutal beatdown to date, bloodying Hardy by sending him face first into a wall. They pick up Hardy who is out on his feet and bring him close to Young who wipes his hand across Hardy’s forehead, then wipes the blood on his own face. Wearing a maniacal smile, Young tells his men to take Hardy someplace they’ll never find him and follows behind Harper, Rowan, Dain, and Wolfe as they carry Jeff Hardy out of the building.

A replay of the Bar ambushing the Usos this past Tuesday on Smackdown Live is shown. The announcers question what kind of shape the Usos can be in for this Smackdown Live Tag Team Championship match.

Rating: 7.6

The Usos waste no time in taking the fight to the defending champions and they focus on Sheamus. Booker mentions the ambush on the Usos and how it’s important they try and end this quickly because they can’t be in perfect health. However the Usos are fluid in their attacks and tags and Sheamus is on constant defense. That changes when Jimmy misses a splash in the corner and Cesaro gets the tag. Now it’s the Bar’s turn and they do what they’ve done for years, isolate and destroy. Cesaro hits the Neutralizer but Jey breaks it up right before the three count The Bar goes back to work but when Sheamus goes for a Brogue Kick, Jimmy ducks and dives to make the tag to his brother. Jey goes on the attack, flooring Sheamus and knocking Cesaro off the apron. Jey hits a superkick and Sheamus is seeing stars and Jimmy begins to come in the ring to head off Cesaro but the referee stops him. With the referee distracted, he doesn’t see Cesaro enter the ring holding one of the tag belts he’d gathered when he was knocked off the apron. Jey turns around and Cesaro smacks him right in the face with the belt. He puts Sheamus on top and leaves the ring. When the referee turns he sees the pinfall and makes the three count before Jimmy can break it up.

Winners by Countout and still Smackdown Live Tag Team Champions: The Bar
Rating: 7.5

The camera catches the Usos, both looking devastated with the loss. Booker questions if they can ever beat the Bar and reclaim their titles or if their window has closed.

Rating: 7.2

Backstage, WWE Champion Daniel Bryan comes face to face with a smiling Finn Balor. Bryan tells him that what he went through tonight is nothing compared to the hell he’s going to put Balor through at WrestleMania. Balor chuckles and says while that may be true, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s going to take that title away from Danny Boy and deep down Bryan knows it. Balor walks off and leaves the champion seething.

Rating: 9.1

Asuka is the first one out but as she’s doing her normal dancing routine down the aisle she’s suddenly attacked from behind.

Kharma blasts Asuka from behind, knocking her to the floor. Asuka gets up out of habit but Kharma grabs her and slings her into the aisle barrier. Asuka gets up again and jumps on Kharma but she’s caught and Kharma charges ahead ramming Asuka into the chamber. Officials flood ringside but they can’t get the two separated as Kharma picks up Asuka once more and rams her again. She backs off and officials check on Asuka but Kharma then enters the chamber and enters a pod.

The officials are all confused until someone else comes down the aisle.

Tom Phillips questions why Bruce Prichard is there as Prichard calmly walks around the chamber and goes straight to the ring announcer and begins whispering something. We’re then told by the ring announcer that by decree of WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon, Kharma is now an entrant in the Elimination Chamber! Prichard, his job done, calmly walks back past the carnage and back up the ramp.

Rating: 7.2

Naomi and Sonya Deville begin the match and set the stage for the match but don’t do anything crazy. Sonya takes control and is stomping Naomi in the corner when the chambers begin to light up and the next competitor is released from their pod.

Mandy is out and she quickly double teams Naomi alongside her best friend. Naomi fights back though and backdrops Sonya over the top rope onto the chamber floor. Mandy runs in and catches a Rear View for her troubles. 1...2...Mandy kicks out as it’s time for our next participant.

It’s the Smackdown Live Women’s Champion and Charlotte Flair wastes no time going right for Naomi. She takes control thanks to a chop that echoes in the building but she doesn’t stop there as she lays into Mandy and Sonya when she’s back in the ring. Charlotte is hitting on all cylinders when the lights flash again.

The Elimination Chamber becomes IIConic as Peyton Royce hits the ring and rather than go for Charlotte, she insteads begins on Naomi acting more of a scavenger than a predator. Charlotte divides her time between Mandy and Sonya but soon it’s time for the last participant.

Khama stomps out of the pod and comes face to face with Charlotte, both giving equal intensity in their stare, before it turns into a shared grin. Suddenly as Kharma charges Mandy and Sonya and double clotheslines them, Charlotte goes for Peyton and Naomi. Tom Phillips begins questioning if this is a setup as Charlotte whips Peyton towards Kharma who kicks her in the stomach, then delivers a sit down powerbomb for the first pinfall. Peyton Royce is eliminated

Charlotte thinks she’ll do the same to Mandy but Sonya interrupts and now Fire and Desire are double teaming the Queen. Kharma intercedes but Naomi jumps on her back as Charlotte is taken to the outside of the ring and slung into chains. Kharma and Naomi are fighting on the opposite side. Naomi is thrown into the pod and hits with a thud but when Kharma charges, Naomi moves and Kharma crashes through the glass.

On the other side Charlotte fights back, chopping each of them over and over. It’s then she notices Kharma’s situation and looks concerned. She hurries over and begins brawling with Naomi and then end up back in the ring. Slowly Kharma rises from the rubble of the pod and enters the ring, headed towards Naomi from behind when Mandy and Sonya come in and shove her chest first into the corner. Kharma staggers back and they both take a leg and roll her up for the 123 as Naomi keeps Charlotte from breaking it up. Kharma is eliminated

Charlotte now realizes her plan has unraveled and it’s essentially three on one as the remaining women focus on her and it works for awhile until Mandy blindsides Naomi. As they pair off Charlotte and Sonya go back to the outside as Mandy and Naomi are in the ring. In the corner, Naomi blocks a right hand and fires back at Mandy, dropping her to her knees with a series of kicks before rebounding off the ropes and hitting the Rear View again. Naomi looks up with an idea on her face. Climbing to the top Naomi screams out with a ‘UUUUUUU’ which gets a crowd reply ‘SOOOOO’ and she flies off with a big splash onto Mandy for the pinfall. Mandy Rose is eliminated

On the other side of the ring Charlotte and Sonya are going to war using the chamber every chance they get, with Sonya getting busted open on one occasion. Charlotte moves into the ring and locks up with Naomi. They continue for a few moments until Charlotte rolls up Naomi and puts her feet on the ropes unseen. Naomi is eliminated

Charlotte is nearly exhausted but she’s brought back to reality when a bloodied Sonya steps back into the ring and her eyes show nothing but determination. They lock up and spend the next ten minutes ripping into one another including Charlotte delivering a superplex which Sonya kicks out of and Sonya hits her crane kick to which Charlotte kicks out at two and a half. Charlotte is huddled in the corner and as Sonya approaches Charlotte pulls her face first into the turnbuckle. Sonya staggers and turns and Charlotte chop blocks her and quickly puts her in the Figure Eight. Sonya, whose cut was busted open again by the turnbuckle, has blood streaming down her face as she struggles and writhes but she won’t tap. She’s reaching for the rope, but is too far away. Charlotte is visibly shaking from near exhaustion as she holds herself up in position. Slowly Sonya begins to fade and passes out without tapping. The referee calls for the bell. Sonya Deville is eliminated

Winner by Stoppage and still Smackdown Live Women’s Champion: Charlotte Flair

Rating: 7.2

Backstage, Rusev is getting ready and Lana looks ready to accompany him but he stops her and tells her he doesn’t want her at ringside tonight because of what Joe did to her. She tries to argue but he stops her and says he has made his decision before leaving the locker room.

Rating: 6.6

Rusev wastes no time in going after Joe and it’s a series of kicks and punches from the start. Joe covers up and plays defense for a bit before seeing an opening and going for the jugular, literally, as he jabs Rusev in the throat. Joe takes a moment to recover fully himself from the earlier attack and then begins to punish Rusev for the next several moments. Joe berates him and taunts him about Lana, but this fuels Rusev’s comeback and begins to come at Joe again working on his back. Joe is staggered and catches a standing side kick right in the mouth, followed by a Machka kick. Joe flies back into the ropes, then falls on his face. Rusev stomps his back and applies the Accolade but at the last second, Joe gets a foot on the bottom rope. Rusev doesn’t relent until Joe kicks him low out of the referee’s line of sight. As Rusev writhes on the mat Joe regathers himself but suddenly someone else runs down to ringside.

Lana, clearly worried about Rusev climbs in the ring to check on him and when Joe sees her, he grabs her and forces her into the opposite corner. When Rusev sees what’s happening he gets to his feet but Joe orders him to stop. He tells Rusev to leave the ring or else he’ll hit Lana who appears terrified. Rusev is torn but slowly stands on the outside of the ring. Joe screams at the official to count and he begrudgingly does until he gets to ten.

Winner by Countout: Samoa Joe
Rating: 8.0

As Joe rolls out of the ring, Rusev quickly re-enters the ring to check on Lana. Joe walks up the ramp, very proud of how he ‘earned’ that victory.

Rating: 7.4

Tom Phillips and Booker T give an update on Asuka by the announcers. We’re told that she was taken to a local medical facility and we may not know her condition until Tuesday night on Smackdown Live.

Rating: 7.5

Kayla Braxton catches up with Charlotte Flair backstage and asks her about the Chamber match and what happened to Asuka. Flair nearly sneers and says that the headline of the night isn’t Asuka or Kharma or Mandy or Sonya or Naomi or Peyton. The headline is Charlotte Flair, the Smackdown Live Women’s Champion. How she overcame, how she persevered, and how she is taking this title to WrestleMania. That’s the headline, and whether you like it to not, learn to love it, because it’s the best thing going today. WOOOOOOO.

Rating: 10.0

For those who thought their animosity would sink their team off the bat Rousey and Lynch show a very united front as they control the early go of the match versus Tamina but when Jax gets the tag she flattens Rousey. Trash talking as she pummels the RAW Women’s Champion, Jax shows off her strength with multiple power moves but Rousey keeps kicking out of the pins. Frustrated, Jax goes to the second rope but Rousey rolls out of the way and Jax belly flops on the mat. Lynch gets the hot tag and begins going to town on Jax, then Tamina when she tries to come in. A moment later Rousey is back in and sends Tamina to the outside with a series of punches. Becky has Jax dazed and flies off the top with a cross body block that gets a two count. Rousey gets the tag and brawls with Jax for a few more minutes before Lynch makes a blind tag. Jax is focused on Rousey who is being lined up for her big right hand punch, but when she swings, Rousey counters into a judo throw. Jax is on her back stunned as Lynch who is legal quickly puts her in the disarmer for the submission.

Winners by Submission: Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch
Rating: 7.1

After the match Ronda and Becky climb opposite turnbuckles to celebrate their victory but they both turn to look over their shoulder at the other at the exact same time and no smiles are shown. It’s clear that their teamwork has come to an end.

Rating: 9.4

Backstage Charly Caruso is standing by with John Cena. Cena says that tonight is all about taking the next step into history. He’s going to enter that chamber and whether he’s first, second, third, fourt, fifth,or last out of that pod he’s going to WrestleMania where he’ll overcome a monster and win his seventeenth World Championship!

The Announcers hype Fastlane, happening in three weeks, the last stop on the Road to WrestleMania

Rating: 9.9

Bobby Roode and Velveteen Dream begin the match and while Roode is nearly dismissive of the newcomer, Velveteen quickly shows him why he’s in the match by lighting up the WWE Intercontinental Champion with a flurry of offense that sends Roode out of the ring onto the chamber floor. Dream follows him but Roode was lying in wait and hits him in the guy before throwing him into the chains. Roode is measuring right hands as the lights begin to dance around the pods.

Apollo Crews is the first man out of the pods and he dives right into the action, literally by slingshotting himself over the top rope and shoulder blocking Roode. Crews is perpetual energy and Roode appears in danger of a double team until Dream shoves Crews in the back into a pod call housing Drew McIntyre and when Crews turns around, Dream hits a superkick. As the pods count down again, Dream is soaking in the attention.

The Lunatic Fringe hits the ring and joins the fray, grabbing Dream by his hair and dragging him into the ring. Now that it’s paired up,the action on the inside and outside of the ring slows down with both Roode and Ambrose in control. Roode brings Crews back into the ring and the heels catch each other’s eye in opposite corners. They whip Crews and Dream at each other but both men reverse it and Ambrose and Roode collide in the middle of the ring. Ambrose staggers to the ropes and Crews takes him over the top with a clothesline as Roode turns slowly and catches a superkick from Dream, laying him out on his back. Dream climbs to the top and hits the Purple Rainmaker for the first fall of the match. Bobby Roode is eliminated The lights tell us it’s time for our next entrant.

John Cena is next and he and Dream slowly approach each other and begin with an old school test of strength. Cena is beginning to get the upper hand when Ambrose attacks him from behind. Crews follows Ambrose back into the ring and now all four men are going at it in the center of the ring. Ambrose dumps Cena over the top rope as Crews does the same on the other side to Dream via a military press. But when Crews turns around, Ambrose kicks him in the gut, and hits Dirty Deeds for the 123. Apollo Crews is eliminated Ambrose is looking back and forth between Dream and Cena deciding who he wants next when the final pod lights up.

The Scottish Psychopath exits his pod which is next to where Dream is and he immediately begins attacking him. Ambrose heads towards Cena who is ready for him and he sends Ambrose into the chains but when Cena approaches, Ambrose lashes out with a kick to the stomach and he goes got Dirty Deeds again, this time on the chamber floor. Cena fights it off and rams Ambrose into a pod door three times before Ambrose slumps to the ground.

On the other side of the ring McIntyre launches Dream back into the ring over the top and follows. He is taunting Dream saying this is his time now. The title shot is his destiny, etc. McIntyre whips Dream to the ropes but the clothesline is ducked and when he bounds off the ropes Dream hits a hook clothesline. The crowd is feeding him and Dream feels it, going to the top and coming off with a double axe handle which drops McIntyre to a knee. He does it again with the same result. But when he goes to the well for the third time, McIntyre was waiting and spears him in mid air. Meanwhile, Cena and Ambrose are still brawling on the outside of the ring. Cena is slammed on the Chamber floor and Ambrose climbs to the top of a pod. He flies off with a cross body but Cena catches him and turns it into a throwaway slam as Ambrose is thrown into the chains.

McIntyre picks up Dream and whips him into the corner as hard as he can, before charging in but he gets a boot in the face. McIntyre staggers back and seeing a window, Dream moves in, backing McIntyre up with right hands before whipping him to the other corner Dream gives a little Macho Man spin and runs at McIntyre but suddenly Drew launches a Claymore out of nowhere flattening Dream. McIntyre makes the cover and gets the pinfall. Velveteen Dream is eliminated

Cena enters the ring and now it’s his turn to go one on one with McIntyre. They circle each other but before they can lock up, Ambrose hits Cena from behind. McIntyre and Ambrose double team Cena for the next several moments. Ambrose whips Cena towards McIntyre who hits the Claymore but before McIntyre can cover Cena, Ambrose kicks him below the belt and hits Dirty Deeds and makes the cover for the three count. Drew McIntyre is eliminated

Ambrose quickly scurries over to Cena and makes the cover 1, 2, Cena kicks out. Ambrose is more than frustrated. He picks Cena up and delivers a vertical suplex and makes another cover with another kickout. Ambrose is trying to hold it together as he ascends to the top rope, measuring Cena and flies off with an elbow but he crashes and burns when Cena rolls out of the way. Cena uses the ropes to climb to his feet and the two meet in the middle of the ring trading right hands. Ambrose finally throws a right hand which Cena ducks and turns into an Attitude Adjustment. Cena makes the cover 1...2….kickout. Ambrose is barely there but his instinct to kick out overrode the pain he was in. Cena looks up at the WrestleMania sign hanging in the rafters and suddenly a display of ruthless aggression comes over his face. He picks up Ambrose into another AA but when he delivers it, he rolls with him and stands up with Ambrose still on his shoulders. He walks the two of them over to the corner, stepping up to the second rope and delivers a third Attitude Adjustment. He makes the cover and Ambrose limply kicks out just after the referee slaps the mat for the third time. Dean Ambrose is eliminated

Winner by Pinfall: John Cena

Balor is stunned as Bryan reminds him that he is the greatest champion in history...the Planet’s Champion! He takes Balor’s arms and stomps his head a few times. Balor by now is all but out of it but Bryan picks him up, looking around with a sadistic grin and then he spots what he’s looking for. Bryan helps Balor essentially walk down the hallway, mostly shambling before spinning him around to pick up momentum and launches him through an office window.

They stop at an outdoor cafe where they sit. Andrade seems anxious but Zelina is cool as a man in a suit approaches them. <img alt="5hzZ2Aj.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5hzZ2Aj.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Zelina introduces him to Andrade as Kaval. She says he has fought all over the world but now he handles...private security and he is just the man they need for their return. Andrade asks if he’s as dangerous as she suggestions. Kaval proves himself by attacking the waiter as soon as he approaches, then several others who try and intervene eventually laying everyone out. Andrade is all smiles as he watches before kissing Zelina’s hand. She smiles coldly before telling him to come along...they have one more stop.

He says that what happened to Finn Balor was not only justified, it was mandatory. Balor is like the living embodiment of the worst pollution he can imagine. He poisons the minds of the WWE Universe into thinking he has a chance to win the WWE Championship. A green warrior cannot just sit there and allow it to exist. So he did what he had to do. That’s the responsibility that comes with being the Planet’s Champion and having to protect the planet and the WWE from such vile lies and filth. So for anyone who was looking forward to WrestleMania, he apologizes but it just had to be done.

Dunne says that he is proud to be back on NXT U.K. and he is excited to make an announcement: for as much as he has appreciated and loved his run on the American version of NXT, America is not the home of Pete Dunne. The title that Pete Dunne holds is not an American title. The United Kingdom is home and NXT U.K. is the home brand of Pete Dunne and the fans will no longer be seeing Pete Dunne on the American NXT show except for one evening. The night before Wrestlemania it will be NXT TakeOver: New York and on that night both brands of NXT will be represented because the NXT United Kingdom Title will be defended when Pete Dunne puts his title on the line against Joseph Conners..and on tha... <img alt="yjCQgXK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/yjCQgXK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Conners comes out and says on that night, Dunne will come to realize just how futile his hopes of still being NXT United Kingdom Champion are. All it will take is one Don't Look Down and Pete Dunne will understand that he made a mistake when he chose to come home instead of staying in America. But, thats in six weeks time. Tonight, Pete Dunne will see what he is up against because Joseph Conners is going to annihilate some poor bloke and it will happen when NXT U.K. comes right back. Conners orders Dunne to get out of his ring and the two have a tense staredown as Conners gets into the ring and a ref comes out as we go to commercial.

Ripley does not care if it is one of them or both of them at the same time, for what they did to Toni Storm and for forcing Rhea to watch, Jinny and Kelly will pay. They will pay very soon.

It is time for Johnny Saint to do the right thing, correct this travesty and put Joe Coffey in the NXT United Kingdom Championship Match at TakeOver: New York. They call out NXT U.K. General Manager Johnny Saint who comes down to the ring. Gallus surrounds him as Coffey gets face to face with Saint and asks if he is in the match. Saint gets a sneer and says "after losing at our first TakeOver and then losing two weeks ago? You're lucky I am giving you any airtime at all. The answer is no." The crowd cheers as Coffey gets red faced and then pushes Saint hard who stumbles back into a corner. Saint, true to his old grappling days, explodes out of the corner with a hard right that knocks Joe on his ass. When Mark Coffey attacks, Saint ducks a punch and takes him down pounding on Mark. Wolfgang drops a elbow to the back of Saint's neck and then does a Samoan Slam to the GM of NXT U.K. and then Gallus are on him like a pack of animals. Joe Coffey slides out of the ring and sets up a table and then gives direction as Wolfgang powerbombs Johnny Saint from inside the ring over the ropes and through the table. Gallus stands over the crumpled body of Johnny Saint while officials and wrestlers, good and bad, race down the aisle. Everyone is furious and shocked as they check on Saint. Gallus backs away proud of themselves and pump their fists in the air in celebration as NXT U.K. goes off the air. Rating: 6.9 Overall: 5.5</div>

Elias says RVD is the perfect example of what he was talking about. He may be from another dirtball city up in Michigan but thanks to ECW garbage, Van Dam may as well be from Philly. RVD begins to retort but instead hits Elias with the mic and when he’s stunned, sends him from the ring with a spinning heel kick. RVD celebrates with the crowd who is chanting ‘ECW’ as Elias sneers.

The Universal Champion batters both members of the Ascension from the opening bell to the three count which thankfully doesn’t take too long.

A video of last week’s highlights is shown, specifically featuring the shock moment when Randy Orton was added to the WWE Championship match at Fastlane moments before he struck AJ Styles with an RKO out of nowhere.

Rating: 85

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.

The match is even from beginning to end, but the Usos seem to gain momentum after delivering a double superkick to Gallows. Unfortunately for Jey, he doesn’t see Anderson before he’s shoved off the top to the floor below. Jimmy blasts Anderson off the apron but when he turns around he catches a huge boot in the face from Gallows who makes the cover for the win.

Winners by Pinfall: Gallows and Anderson

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.

Paige is in her office when Lana enters. She tells Paige that Rusev is sick with the way his match went at Elimination Chamber and she knows it’s her fault. She begs Paige to give Rusev one more shot at Joe. Paige thinks about it then agrees with the stipulation that Lana is barred from ringside which she quickly agrees to before leaving the office.

Backstage we see Randy Orton walk out of his locker room with his duffle bag. The camera follows him through the hallways until he exits the building.

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.

Rating: 100

There’s no New Day or SAnitY at ringside for this one and the match gets the crowd going. Kofi nearly gets a three count with a cross body block off the top but Young manages to kick out. Young takes control and delivers a nasty looking DDT on the ring apron but Kofi stays alive with a foot on the ropes. Young seems to be nearing a win but Kofi telegraphs Young’s Irish Whip and hits the SOS for the win.

Winner by Pinfall: Kofi Kingston

Backstage Shane is looking for Randy Orton and finally asks a crewmember where he is and is told Orton left the building. Shane is irate and says he’ll fix this problem next week.

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.

Rating: 92

Overall:

A tremendous match between these two as always. Nakamura takes a late advantage but AJ fights back and when Nakamura misses the Kinshasa, Styles hits the Pele kick followed by a Phenomenal Forearm for the victory.

Winner by Pinfall: AJ Styles

Maria grabs a chair and slides it into the ring as Mike opens it and wraps it around Kendrick’s head and neck. Mike climbs to the top rope but before he can leap, a host of officials run to the ring and stand between him and Kendrick. After a few moments Kanellis drops down and leaves the ring with Maria. He may have failed to end Kendrick’s career but he still seems to be in a good mood as he exchanges a kiss with his wife..

Half way through Alexander takes control and gets a 2 count but Rush barely kicks out. When Alexander goes to the top, Rush grabs the referee and pulls him into the path of the missile dropkick.

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.

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.

Bryan says this isn’t about Orton needing backup or Styles and the little house he built here on Smackdown Live. This is about the planet! Do they realize what would happen if he lost the WWE Title? The seas would rise and there would be destruction everywhere as Mother Earth lashed out against those who opposed her favorite son. At this point Orton, Styles, and Edge are all exchanging looks like ‘did you hear that too?’ Bryan, growing frustrated with the lack of respect leaves the ring after telling them they can scoff all they want but if they get in the way of the Planet’s Champion, they’ll get hurt real bad….just like Finn Balor.

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.

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.

He tells Cole that he is not in a good mood and to not piss him off here tonight. The fact of the matter is that sometimes business trumps someone's personal ambition and business said that Jay Lethal is a hot commodity and one of the most sought after wrestlers in the world. Jay Lethal main eventing TakeOver: New York is right for business. It's the best thing for NXT. Triple H says that he doesn't give a damn about Cole's bruised ego. William Regal did the right thing but, perhaps Adam Cole does have a case to be made. The truth is that as much as Triple H would like, he can't please everyone. And as much as he would like to give opportunities to every talent, sometimes you have to do whats best for business. So, Adam Cole, you are not in the NXT Title match at TakeOver: New York - that match remains Jay Lethal challenging Tommaso Ciampa. Ciampa, by the way, will be in action tonight against the returning Tye Dillinger, and Jay Lethal has been invited to be here tonight. But, NXT is about opportunity and Adam Cole has earned the right to challenge for the title. Hell, so has Aleister Black. So has Johnny Gargano which gives Triple H an idea. At NXT TakeOver: New York it will be..Adam Cole versus Aleister Black versus Johnny Gargano and, should he defeat Ciampa tonight, Tye Dillinger in a fatal fourway. Should Tye Dillinger lose tonight, it will be a triple threat match. And the winner of that match will be able to challenge for the NXT Title anytime, anywhere, no conditions, no stupid brief cases. To the winner goes the spoils. Adam Cole, this is your chance, seize it in New York and the title shot is yours. Cole is still not happy but, the match is made.

The finish comes when Fish takes a Barthel uppercut, grabs Marcel’s arm and locks on the crossface.

Ricochet says that Fish is a coward but Ricochet is a man. He accepts the challenge, hell we can do it tonight. Ricochet runs down and into the ring and just as he gets in, Fish bails to the floor. He backs up the aisle saying "we fight when I'm ready" while, the champion wants Fish in the ring right now. The match is made for TakeOver: Bobby Fish vs Ricochet for the North American Championship.

The referee pleads with Shayna to stop so the match can begin but, Baszler throws him out of the ring and locks on the Kirifuda Clutch.

Dillinger scores with a Impaler DDT and covers but, Ciampa kicks out. From there we get a back and forth encounter that goes all over the arena before getting back in the ring. Ciampa gets control after a missed splash by Dillinger and then begins to set up Dillinger for the finish. Just as Ciampa prepares to go for Project Ciampa, Jay Lethal comes out to the stage. Tommaso is distracted by the presence of his NXT Championship challenger which gives Tye the opportunity he needs. Dillinger rolls Tommaso up from behind as the ref counts 1…2…3.

He will advance to TakeOver: New York for the opportunity of a lifetime. Tommaso Ciampa is seething in the ring while Jay Lethal points and laughs at his humiliation. Lethal points at "Goldie" and says that is his while Ciampa clutches it in desperation as NXT goes off the air. Rating: 6.6 Overall: 6.7</div>

While he speaks, intercuts of Joseph Conners destroying Pete Dunne last week airs. Finlay says that Conners chose to be a coward last week when he took out NXT United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne. Well, tonight, Conners won't be able to jump anyone because, tonight, he will be in action and his opponent is? Everyone will find out when Conners enters the ring. Enjoy the show.

Toni begs for them to come into the ring but just before they do, she points behind them and Rhea Ripley is there with a chair. Toni removes a baseball bat from her jacket just as Ripley charges Kelly and Jinny. Toni dives from the ring with the bat and Storm and Rhea go to work on Killer Kelly and Jinny. Eventually the heels jump into the crowd and run away with Storm and Ripley demanding them to come back and fight.

Menzies responds with suplexes and dead lifts around the ring but, he cant lock in the Ankle Lock. Bate is able to nail the Tyler Driver but Menzies kicks out just in the nick of time. Bate flies off for a stop off the top rope but, Menzies rolls out of the way and Tyler stubs his leg on the landing. Menzies uses that to his advantage and quickly locks in the Ankle Lock.

The tide turns when Mastiff goes for the Spinebuster but, Joseph is able to drop him with a DDT and then he is able to, amazingly, nail a German suplex for a close two count. Even more amazingly, Conners is able to lift Mastiff up and nail Don't Look Down. Cover...1....2....MASTIFF KICKS OUT and stands up pissed off. Conners tries some punches but Mastiff swats them away. Joseph decides to bail on the match and heads up the ramp as the referee counts. NXT U.K. General Manager Finlay comes out and throws Joseph Conners back into the match where he meets Mastiff who immediately delivers a furious Spinebuster. One more Spinebuster for good measure and the 1...2..3.
