Congratulations to Samantha Irvin and Ricochet, who tied the knot recently.
WrestleMania is just 22 days away
Joe and Wade are at the announcer’s desk with Mark Nash (new announcer for Smackdown) handling the ring announcing duties.
Cody is on his way to the ring, with the London Universe going crazy. Cody is cutting a promo for his match with John at WrestleMania. Here comes Randy Orton to the ring. Randy is taking a slow walk, enjoying the Universe singing his entrance song. Nice shot of Cody also taking in what is taking place around him. Randy is getting a little sentimental, which he never does. Randy is also working a promo side for his match with Kevin Owens at WrestleMania. Orton goes on to chat a bit, but tells Cody that he will look him in the eyes and tell him that he is coming for the title. Ok, I have no clue why Drew McIntyre is sticking his nose in where it doesn’t belong.
Randy Orton facing Drew McIntyre is singles action later in the show. This match is getting ugly, right from the start. I just read what Drew said, I can’t repeat it. Randy dropped him back-first on the reinforced announcer’s desk. Randy is heading for an RKO, but once again Kevin owns shows up. Thanks to Randy, Drew gets the win. That was a vicious Claymore getting Drew the win. Kevin tried to piledrive Randy on the announcer’s desk but Randy got out of it, flipping Kevin on his back.
Street Profits in a title defense against Pretty Deadly. Tag team matches are hard to put into words. This was a hell of a match. You knew that Pretty Deadly would throw everything at the Profits, and they did, with the Profits playing spoiler in London, keeping the tag titles.
I’m getting board with the Chelsea Green, with her goon squad (Piper Niven, Alba Fire). Chance/Carter facing Niven/Alba Fire (called Secret Service). Well, with the strength of Piper the girls really never stood a chance, but here comes Zelina Vega with an assist to help the girls.
There is a new addition to the Hall of Fame 2025, starting this year, will be Immortal Moments with Brett Hart facing Stone Cold at WrestleMania 13. (Both gentlemen will be there.)
The United States Title is on the line with L.A. Knight defending against Braun Strowman. This should be a title change waiting to happen, but this close to the big dance, I can’t see it happening. Look for Jacob Fatu to show up. Well, I told you so, just as the Strowman train was about to hit, Jacob took out Braun. I am still blown away that Jacob can do a moonsault with ease off the top rope. Jacob just told Solo and Tama that he will bring the United States Title home to the family with or with out them.
Naomi has completely changed her character. The glow is gone; she has used it for a while, so I am not surprised by the repackaging.
Michin is facing Charlotte. I can see Michin winning this but stranger things have happened. Naomi is in the ring, taking out Michin. Naomi is going after anyone who even speaks to Jade. (Jade dresses like Kill Bill) Jade and Charlotte meet at the top of the run, stopping to check each other out. Michin is doing everything to hold her own, but you can see that she is not 100%. Michin held her one but it was Charlotte in the end.
Jimmy Uso is facing The Miz. this could be interesting. Jimmy with the win
Damien Priest is waiting outside for Drew. They are going at it. Damien just put Drew through the windshield.
CM Punk is on his way to the ring for the contract signing for the triple threat match with Seth, Roman and himself. Roman is sitting at the head of the table, Nick Aldis standing in the corner. Seth is next. CM is the final piece of the puzzle. Seth ripped Roman a tongue-lashing. Punk got on his knees, thanking Roman. Seth is ticked off that Punk is in the Main event at WrestleMania. Roman told Punk, You had better be thankful because I am the reason you are in the Main event.
Punk looked at Roman and Paul Heyman “That’s not the favor”
Next week the show is back home in Chicago.
