There was a lot of information about RAW and the possible matches for Wrestlemania, which is why I decided to split the notes up for this week.
*NXT — Carmelo Hayes is out with a crap load of security, demanding that Ilja make the decision about Melo’s title and return it. Ilja has til the end of the show.
Roxanne is almost a heel in my book, throwing punches in anger
Kelani James is working hard. She is holding her own but I think she needs more time. You can see her moves are getting there along with thinking outside the box, adjusting as needed. In her match today with Kiana James, it was tough, she was doing well until outside interference, and there was no way she would win. I hope she gets a push at some point.
Gallows/Anderson (Good Brothers) have returned to NXT, RAW has no storyline for them, since the split with AJ Styles. No sure if they will get them to a tag title match but it will be interesting to see if they turn heel. Other tag teams have shown up, including LWO. (How long will Braun/Corbin have the belts with Braun signing to Smackdown)
**News came through on Thursday morning for me that Virgil had passed away.
Smackdown — The show is sold out, with The Rock appearing.
More fallout from Elimination Chamber last weekend.
Of course, Roman out demanding that he be acknowledged by the WWE Universe, he did not like the response making the decision to leave but Paul Heyman stopped him, The Rock was there also. Rock is out and Roman is not looking too happy, this should be interesting. This is interesting — Night one it will be Roman/Rock facing Cody/Seth with the stipulation that if Cody/Seth wins, night 2 in Cody’s match with Roman the is no interference BUT if Rock/Roman wins then anything goes. (Bloodline Rules) Cody/Seth have been summoned to Dallas to deliver their answer. Roman wanted one thing from Rock, to acknowledge Roman as his tribal chief.
Tiffany Stratton facing Namoi. Tiffy pinned Naomi in the chamber.
It was supposed to be a tag match with Dakota/Bayley facing Asuka/Kari, but Dakota turned on Bayley mid-match. (I had a feeling it was coming)
**Backstage as Dakota and Damage Control headed to the Locker room they ran into Jade Cargill. Nick out who told Damage Contol he would deal with them but he needed to speak with Jade.
Randy Orton facing Austin Theory (Greyson Waller at ringside) with Kevin Owens at the announcer’s desk. Love the fact that Randy can hit an RKO out of nowhere. Randy winning was no surprise but Kevin had to jump into the ring to help Randy out. Fist bumps out of respect between Kevin and Randy.
