Berlin Announce Team: The Fab 4 have made the trip: Cole, Graves, Barrett, Tessitore.
Ring Announcers: Both Mark Nash/Alicia Taylor made the trip. Having both Mark and Alicia there suggests they might be splitting duties between the main show and the “Dark Matches” or special segments for the international crowd.
**Randy Orton to open the show. That unspoken lack of respect because there’s a specific kind of “new generation” arrogance where guys like Trick Williams don’t just want to beat the legends—they want to act like the legends don’t even deserve the microphone. It’s that feeling of: “Your time is so over that I’m not even going to let you finish your thought.”
*MATCH 3 **An 8-man tag match has the Wyatt Sick facing Solo Sokai and the MTF. It’s the start of a Family versus Family war. This is the most unpredictable 8-man tag team match in years. Supernatural versus Bloodline. Solo has stolen the Lantern, which is just extending this war.
*MATCH 1 **Trick Williams opens his SmackDown chapter, facing off against Rey Fenix. Trick will have his hands full, as far as I know, he has never really faced anyone like Rey. It was a good match until Trick rolled up Rey and held his tights to get the win.
**Carmelo Hayes is keeping with the tradition of an Open Challenge for the United States Championship. A possible opponent could be Johnny Gargano. (Rumour that Kelani Jordan, Hayes’s fiancée, currently in NXT, could be called up to help this storyline) Shinsuke Nakamura has answered the call.
**Chelsea Green has called in her rematch clause against Giulia, who defeated her last week to win the title. (Rumour is that Chelsea could be in line for a major push) Alba Fire is facing the newly signed Jordyann Grace. Jordyann makes short work of Alba. Jade Cargill just walked out. She told Grace that it’s her show and she is the Bitch. (There is a match for you, Jordyann/Jade.)
**Cody Rhodes, who currently holds the Undisputed Title, is defending against Drew McIntyre, who has made Cody’s life a living hell. Drew had stipulated in the contract that if Cody laid a hand on Drew, Cody would lose the title. Drew could be the biggest bully on earth, and Cody could do nothing. What took the cake was Drew burning a picture of Cody/Dusty. Drew decided on a Three Stages of Hell Match. Stage 1 is a standard singles match. Stage 2 is a Falls Count Anywhere Match. Stage 3 is a Steel Cage match (if needed) *(this match could go either way. Cody is going to have to go to that really dark place to survive. There is a rumour that Roman could return, making sure Cody holds the title until WrestleMania or SummerSlam.Thanks to the return of Jacob Fatu, who went after both Drew and Cody, Drew was able to drag himself out of the cage to get the win.
*MATCH 2 – **The United States Women’s title is on the line when Guilia defends the title against Alexa Bliss. Lexi is on her own, but I don’t trust anything. Well, thanks to Lash, Guilia keeps the title. Didn’t think this title would change hands today.
*Undisputed WWE Title Contender Tournament
Randy Orton vs The Miz — I have to go with Randy on this one.
Matt Cardona vs Trick Williams — This one I have to give to Matt. Trick is not ready for this.
Damien Priest vs Solo Sokia — With Solo in possession of “The Lantern”, Damien can knock him off
Sami Zayn vs. Ilja Dragunov — This is too close to call. My heart says Sami, but my head says Ilja.
The winner of each match will meet in a Fatal 4-Way to become the #1 Contender to meet Drew at the Royal Rumble.
