“The Den is growing! We just broke into the Top 2.5% of podcasts globally. Thank you for making us a part of your wrestling weekend!”

At the Commentary Desk

  • Joe Tessitore: The lead play-by-play man. He’s been bringing that big sports broadcast energy to the blue brand since the brand swap earlier this year.
  • Wade Barrett: Your colour commentator. He’s always great for that “bad news” perspective and tactical breakdown.

In the Centre of the Ring

  • Mark Nash (Mark Shunock): He is your ring announcer for today. He’s the former Vegas Golden Knights host who took over the full-time Smackdown gig last year.

***The Big 3 Moments

Moment 1: Roandy Orton and Cody Rhodes sign their Wrestlemania Contract. What started as a civil WrestleMania 42 contract signing ended in blood. After Cody Rhodes encouraged Randy to “let the voices in,” Randy took it literally—he bloodied Cody against the steel steps and even pushed Jelly Roll aside when he tried to intervene. Randy sat in the ring with the title over his lap as the show went off the air.

Moment 2: The “I Quit” & The Attack: Drew McIntyre confronted Nick Aldis and Jacob Fatu, claiming he was quitting WWE. However, he returned later in the night to attack Fatu, allowing Trick Williams to get the win. Aldis has officially booked Drew vs. Jacob Fatu for next week.

Moment 3: The Bella Twins Return: Nikki and Brie shocked the Den by appearing ringside and eventually causing a DQ in the Women’s Tag Title match. They’ve declared they are “next in line,” setting up a collision with Nia Jax and Lash Legend.

Match Results

Match 1: The Wyatt Sicks (Uncle Howdy & Erick Rowan) def. The MFTs (Solo Sikoa & Talla Tonga). Note: Nikki Cross stole the lantern back!
Match 2: Jade Cargill def. Michin. Post-match: Rhea Ripley confronted Jade.

*Match 3: Nia Jax & Lash Legend (c) def. Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss via DQ (The Bellas interference).

*Match 4: Damian Priest & R-Truth def. Los Garza

*Match 6: Tiffany Stratton def. Kiana James (w/ Giulia)

*Match 7: Trick Williams def. Jacob Fatu (following Drew McIntyre’s interference)

The “Sox Sorority” Women’s Division Spotlight

Jade Cargill looked like an absolute force, but the tension with Rhea Ripley is reaching a breaking point.

Tiffany Stratton picked up a massive win over Kiana James, despite Giulia being ringside. It appears Tiffy is the momentum leader right now.

Special Guest: Jelly Roll is set to be on MizTV.

Jelly Roll looked amazing and showed off his athleticism! On MizTV, he accidentally knocked out The Miz while trying to hit Kit Wilson. His WrestleMania involvement will be more than just a musical performance.

The “Fox Den” Final Word

•The Wrestlemania Card is still taking shape. I think Tiffy will be a better opponent for Guilia. The fued between Iyo, Kairi, and Asuka has been building for a long time.

Question for the Den: Does Drew get a match at WrestleMania, or do they ship him off to the movie set?
