Joe and Wade are at the desk with Mark Nash, who is taking care of the ring announcing

Dirty Dom — is in concussion protocol. He took a steel chair directly to the head during his AAA Mega Title defence against Vikingo in Mexico. WWE is being hyper-cautious, which is why he was replaced by Penta on RAW. Creative wants Dom facing Finn at Wrestlemania. Rumour is that Finn’s character, the Demon, would return.

The show opens with a recap of last week’s contract signing and the betrayal.

“The ring couldn’t hold them, and the parking lot wasn’t enough; Drew McIntyre has officially descended into a level of madness that WWE property simply wasn’t built to handle. After the vehicular assault on Jacob Fatu, the carnage spilled back to ringside, where the announce desk took the final, crushing hit, splintering under the weight of a rivalry that is clearly screaming for the confines of a steel cage.”

WWE Tag Team Titles: The MFTs (Solo Sikoa & Tama Tonga) (c) vs. Damian Priest & R-Truth. (Priest’s first big outing post-Judgment Day). This isn’t just about the belts; it’s about Priest proving he can thrive outside of Finn and Dom’s shadow. For the MFTs (Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga), they’ve been dominant, but they have Wyatt Sicks looming in the rafters, which usually means chaos is right around the corner.

The Interference: The Wyatt Sicks didn’t just “lurk”; they completely dismantled The Bloodline’s grip on the match. Between the eerie lighting and the psychological warfare, Solo and Tama Tonga never stood a chance once the Sicks decided the titles were leaving with Priest and Truth.

The MFTs’ Title Reign. (Status: Extinguished). The Bloodline’s Ego. (Status: Shattered). Getting taken out by the Wyatt Sicks while losing the belts is a double-whammy; they won’t recover from it quickly. Tama Tonga told Solo that he is starting to sound like Roman.

Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley) taking on Fraxiom (Axiom & Nathan Frazer) is basically a masterclass in tag-team psychology versus high-flying innovation. The Motor City Machine Guns pulled out the win with a perfectly timed Skull-and-Bones on Nathan Frazer.

Randy Orton is in the ring. Cutting a promo about the contract signing last week.

Aliester Black with Zelina facing Sami Zayne. Trick Williams just walked down to the ring to watch the match. Thanks to Trick Williams, Aleister gets the win. The seeds are being planted for a slow heel turn that is coming.

Rhea Ripley is in the ring with Jade Cargill, who called out Rhea. Please, Rheam, deck her. What a B****has Jade become. B-Fab/Michin have become henchmen for Jade.

The United States Title is on the line, with Carmelo Hayes defending against Ilja Dragunov. That match could have gone either way, but Melo managed to hang on. These two are not over by a mile. I think it’s called survival of the fittest.

Jelly Roll is in the ring, chatting with Kit Wilson. Not really sure what this is all about. There are rumours of a possible match in the future. This is a poetry slam gone wrong.

It’s Women’s Tag Title defence time with Lash/Nia putting the titles on the line against the Bella Twins. The Women’s Tag titles never existed when Nikki/Bree were originally in the mix. I can’t see the titles changing, but I can see Alexa/Charlotte getting in the mix. (Are we looking at a triple threat match at Wrestlemania?)

Randy was back at the ring, asking Matt Cardona to come out so he could apologise to him. Randy hit Matt with a chair and hooked Matt’s arm in the steel chair and stomped on it. No clue it Matts arm is broken.

The Raleigh Wreckage: Fatu vs. McIntyre

The Visual: They weren’t even in the ring anymore. Seeing them battle up onto the staging/structure and then just disappear into the abyss is the kind of cliffhanger that leaves you staring at the screen. The “Wait, What?” Factor: No bell, no referee, just two of the most dangerous men in the company vanishing off a ledge. That is going to be the only thing people are talking about tomorrow morning. The Fallout: If they “fell off” and we couldn’t see the landing, that usually means the medical team and the “emergency” sirens are about to start.
