Fox Den Sports

RAW in Kansas City

Backlash is coming on May 10. The main event will be Randy Orton facing John Cena for the Undisputed Title. Reading that the draft could take place after Backlash.

Gunther has been suspended indefinitely. (he is taking a break.) Chelsea Green is also listed as away for now.

Per Doctor’s Orders, Adam Pearce is not there tonight with Nick Aldis taking the reins.

Pat and Cole are at the announcer’s desk. Alicia Taylor, as always taking care of Ring Announcing.

Seth is opening the show tonight with Paul Heyman and Braun Brekker. (Becky has turned heel, could she join them?) This is interesting, Sami Zayn just walked out (not medically cleared). Seth told Sami that he can join them, or he will be a target. (Did read about a possible Heel turn for Sami)

Rhea is in action tonight, facing Roxanne Perez. Not sure if this is perminate for Roxy. Roxy has no clue what she is up against. Roxy has been taking it to Rhea, but you know Rhea won’t take much more. Giulia got out to the ring. Just as Rhea was about to pin Roxy, Guilia stopped it, but here comes Iyo to the rescue. I can see a tag match in the future.

Judgment Day News — reading that there will be a feud between Finn/Dom to start after Backlash.

Heel Logan Paul is on his way to the ring. Jackie Redmond is chatting with A-Town Down Under. Logan is in the ring and starts running his mouth. Jey has to be around; he won’t put up with any of this. According to Logan, Jey is not what a true champion looks like. Logan wants Jey’s belt. Logan would not shut up, so Jey super kicked him putting him on his arse.

The War Raiders in Tag action with Judgement Day (Finn/J.D), The New Day (current title holders) sitting at the ringside. Give the assist to Penta and, War Raiders with the win. There is a rematch on the way between War Raiders/New Day.

Becky Lynch is on her way to the ring to explain why she attacked Lyra after the tag team rematch. Becky is going off about Bayley, how she is not good enough. Becky admitted it was she who attacked Bayley. Not sure if this will be a fued between Becky/Lyra or if Bayley will become part of this. Lyra has told Becky that she will put the Women’s Intercontinental Title on the line at Backlash. Lyra took it to Becky, but Becky did a runner.

Stephanie Vaquer is facing Ivy Nile. I read that Stephanie was given a choice of where she wanted to go, straight to the WWE or to NXT. With Steph in the RAW, it makes me wonder if they are testing the waters to see how she would do. (Evolution is coming in July) Chad is interfering to keep saving the match for Ivy. I will give credit where credit is due. Ivy held her own, and Steph with the win.

Pat on the mic, Adam gave him permission to chat after what happened last week. Pat called Nick out. Pat wants Gunther in the ring. OMG, Pat in a match against Gunther at Backlash.

Sami just told Seth No, he will be a champion one day, but will do it on his own. Guess Sami has been cleared. I can’t see Sami winning this, but weird stuff has happened. Braun lays out Sami, the ref had to stop the match. Bad enough, the spears, Seth just stomped Sami. No one on RAW is safe.

SmackDown after Mania

**According to Adam Pearce, Gunther has been fined and suspended indefinitely.

Wade and Joe are taking care of the announcer’s desk, and Mark Nash is taking care of in-ring announcing duties.

I am still reading rumours that the draft is coming soon.

The show this week is in Fort Worth, Texas.

Tag Team Titles on the line in a T.L.C match with Street Profits, Motor City Machine Guns and #DIY

John Cena is on his way to the ring, preparing for another promo filled with the usual heel nonsense. The atmosphere is dark, and the crowd is letting John know they are not happy. Thanks to Mark for the rude introduction. Just as John attempts to speak, Randy’s music hits, and John does not look impressed. Randy sarcastically tells John that he needs to have some kids. It seems like Creative has gone off the rails with this storyline, as John just told Randy that he is trying to erase three generations of his family.

In an attempt to retaliate, John tried to take out Randy, but Randy had the last laugh with an RKO. John then announced that he would give Randy a title shot at Backlash in two weeks, but it needs to be made official. Returning from the commercial break, the match has now been confirmed as the main event for Backlash.

Nathan Frazier/Axium have been called up to SmackDown, having their first match against Los Garza. (Losing the titles at Stand and Deliver has allowed them to be called up) Nathan/Axium got the win in impressive style.

Tiffany Stratton is on her way to the ring. Cutting a promo, waiting to see if she will have a match at Backlash. OK, Jade Cargill just walked out. Jade, telling Tiffany to prove herself, “Let’s have a match right now”. They were both ready to go. Tiff asked for a ref, and here we go. This is going to be interesting. As Wade commented, I am surprised about this match, both had tough matches at Mania, and are a little beat up. This is turning into a good match. Here comes Naomi to spoil what was a good match. Nia Jax has been cleared, returning to go after Tiffany.

The new United States Champion, Jacob Fatu, is on his way to the ring with Solo Sikoa. (Fatu’s mask at Mania was made by the same company that made Bray Wyatt’s Fend mask.) Solo running his mouth that it was he who brought Jacob to the WWE, Solo said that it was he who made Jacob. Here comes L.A. Knight, who won’t surprise me to see a match at Backlash. Seriously, Drew McIntyre’s music hit. No one is sure what is going on. It could be interesting. Drew wants a match with Jacob.

Nick just came out, the winner of the match between Drew and Knight will be the #1 contender for the United States Title.

Chelsea Green puts the Women’s United States title on the line against Zelina Vega. Of course, Chelsea’s goons are at the ringside, so this won’t be an even match. Chelsea’s goons got tossed. Finally, Zelina with the win, so deserved. It was time for a title change.

The Miz is throwing a temper tantrum. Ok, just went dark, but here comes Aleister Black, making his return. (Aleister was in AEW) Miz wants a challenge; he has got one. (Aliester is married to Zelina Vega) Miz got knocked out.

Bianca has 2 broken fingers.

L.A. Knights match with Drew McIntyre. Solo hit Knight with a spike, looking like it will help Drew get the win. WHAT?? Damien Priest just showed up. Taking Drew out with his match being stopped. Knight was yelling at Damien, but Jacob just took both of them out.

The ring is being set up for the Table, Ladders, and Chairs match for the SmackDown Men’s Tag Team title.

Next Friday, The Miz will face Aleister Black.

The T.L.C. Match has been nasty, to say the least. All 3 teams are just trying to destroy each other. That is Tomasso Ciampa (he shaved his beard) with Johnny Gargano. Street Profits, #DIY and Motor City are going all out, will leave it all in the ring. OMG, Ciampa was hanging on to the belts when Angelo Hawkins speared him from a ladder through a table. Montez Ford in a three-way fist fight, on top of the ladder, getting rid of DIY and Motor City to get the titles for the win. This could have gone any way. These teams put their bodies on the line to deliver an amazing match.

NXT post Stand and Deliver

The draft is listed for April 2025, but there are no dates. BattleGround is listed for May 25th. World’s Collide NXT/AAA is listed for June 7th. I can confirm that Evolution is listed for July 5.

The show is in Las Vegas, closing out WrestleMania weekend.

Booker T, Corey, and Vic are at the announcer’s desk, with Mike Rome handling the ring announcing duties.

Women’s Tag Team action with Liv/Raquel defending the titles against Gigi Dolan/Tatum Paxley. It was a good match; Tatum/Gigi made them earn this win.

Ricky Saints is on his way to the ring. In the middle of a sentence, when Lexis King’s music hits. Lexis poses a title for a title match next week. The North American Championship is on the line next week.

Lexis King, with an open challenge, will be facing Noam Dar. You could see a little bit of rust with Noam, but in the end, it would be Naom with the win, taking possession of the Heritage Cup

Thea Hail is facing off against Fallon Henley of Fatal Influence. With Jacy trying to help Fallon take out Thea, she ploughed Fallon into the steps. That was enough for Thea to lock in the Kamora Lock for the win.

Oba Femi is on his way to the ring. Giving respect to Ja’von and Trick. Joe Hendry just showed up, coming out to the ring with Oba/Trick. Oba and Joe took out Trick, leaving him on the outside.

Stacks is in the desert, meeting up with Luca.

Ja’von Evans is on his way to the ring, joining Myles Bourne, facing 2 members of Dark State. No Quarter Catch Crew out in Myles’ corner. Dark State is running over everyone who gets in their way.

Tony has gone to see Riz. With Stacks and Luca both missing, Tony is sending Riz to the safe house until this blows over.

Main Event time with Stephanie Vaquer defending the NXT Women’s title against Roxanne Perez. Roxy, doing anything she needs to make sure she beats Stephanie. Roxt is wrestling better with less trash talk. Thank goodness, Stephanie takes care of Roxy once again. Giulia has come out again, just like last night on RAW. Jordyanne Grace in the balcony watching things play out.

Raw after WrestleMania

This show is unpredictable, and surprises await. This is the final show for the weekend events in Las Vegas.

Cole and Pat are seated at the announcer’s desk, while Mark Nash handles the ring announcing duties.

Seth has arrived with Paul Heyman. Becky/Lyria will be defending the titles against Liv/Raquel. When the Judgement Day arrived, Finn was not with them. Dom will be in singles action against Penta. Putting the Intercontinental title on the line.

John Cena is in the ring running his mouth when out of nowhere, Randy Orton hits an RKO, taking John out.

Clash in Paris is on August 31

Liv/Raquel in a rematch against Lyria/Becky for the Women’s Tag Team Titles. Liv was out of the blocks, going after Becky. It’s been another good match opening with the ladies. The ladies left it in the ring, with Liv/Raquel getting the titles back. Becky just turned on Lyria. Possible match at Backlash — Becky versus Lyria.

Alpha Academy is facing The New Day, but Rusev has just arrived on the scene. (he is looking good.)

Iyo Sky is on the way to the ring. Recap of the title match from last night. Stephanie Vaquer from NXT has joined Iyo in the ring, and both are ready for a match. This has been a good match, both getting the chance to shine. Roxanne shows up to ruin a good match. Guilia also shows up, but once Rhea arrived, Guilia knew better to try anything.

**Survivor Series is on November 29th in San Diego.

Jey Uso is on his way to the ring. Jey is having a chat with the Crowd, Sami Zayn has come out to the ring. Sami is out injured because of his match with Kevin Owens. Sami sustained Spinal Compression and extreme nerve damage. There is no date set for his return. Jimmy Uso is on his way to the ring to help Jey celebrate.

The return from commercial has Gunther out yelling at Cole/Pat, not sure why he is out. Gunther put his hands on Cole, which no one does, Pat trying to save Cole, and Gunther turned on Pat, choking Pat out. Cole is not leaving Pat’s side as he is heading to Medical. Surrounded by Security. Joe has taken over at the announcer’s desk, but Cole is on his way back to join Joe. Cole has a broken nose.

Dirty Dom is on the way to the ring with Carlito/Finn in his first title defence against Penta. You and I both know that Dom will get some kind of help along the way to keep his title. Well, hate to say I told you so, but J.D. has returned. Dom keeps the belt for now.

Talking about El Grande Americano — not impressed with the storyline at all, the sooner it’s over, the better. Never been a fan of Chad Gable.

Seth Rollins (heel turn on Saturday at WrestleMania) is on his way to the right with Paul Heyman. Seth was in the middle of a sentence when CM Punk’s music started. Paul was standing in the corner out of the way, and Seth and Punk were going full tilt. Seth hits a stomp on CM. Roman speared Seth and then superman punched Paul. Braun Brekker took out Roman with a spear. Braun just put Roman through the timekeeper’s barricade. Stomps to CM and Roman, Braun has now joined with Paul Heyman and Seth.

WrestleMania Sunday

If yesterday’s show is anything to go by, tonight’s edition will be full of surprises.

Pat, Cole, and Wade are back at the announcer’s table, and Alicia Taylor takes care of the in-ring announcing duties.

**MATCH 1 — The Women’s RAW title is on the line in a triple threat match featuring Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky, and Bianca Belair. Iyo chose to enter the ring first, followed by Bianca, with Rhea making her entrance last. It’s hard to put into words just how exciting this match was—the ladies came out swinging from the very beginning. I had to focus closely because everything was happening at a fast pace. In the end, Iyo Sky managed to pull off a last-minute victory. We also have to give a lot of credit to Bianca and Rhea for their impressive performance throughout the match.

**MATCH 2 — Sin City Street Fight with Damien Priest facing Drew McIntyre. If you have a weak stomach, I would not watch this match, because it won’t be pretty by any means. Drew is entering first. Damien is 6 feet 4, weighing in at 249, with Drew also 6 feet 4, tipping the scales at 275. The only way to win is by pin or submission; everything else is legal. It would be Drew with a claymore knocking out Damien for the win.

**MATCH 3 — It’s the fatal 4-way for the Intercontentional Championship match with Finn Balor/Penta/Dirty Dom and the current title holder Braun Brekker. Penta in the ring, Dirty Dom on the way to the ring. Finn Balor is on his way to the ring. Brekker is last. This match will be anything goes. Doesn’t matter who gets the pin; they get the belt. This is a match you need to pay attention or you will miss something. Carlito has sown up but staying out of it so far. You have to pick your moment in a four-way to pull off the win. Braun just speared Carlito, taking out the announcer’s table. Holy Cow, Dirty Dom just won the Intercontinental Title, taking out Finn Balor, who was on the verge of pinning Brekker.

**MATCH 4 — Randy Orton issued an open challenge for WrestleMania. It will be interesting to see who takes on the challenge. It’s Joe Hendry who holds the current TNA World title. Randy has 40 pounds on Joe. The TNA title is NOT on the line. Needless to say, out of nowhere, the RKO with Randy getting the win.

***Money in the Bank on June 7th in Los Angeles.

**MATCH 5 — A.J. Styles facing Logan Paul. Logan Paul goes out first. A.J. Styles is on the way to the ring. It’s been back and forth, each having their little moments. I have no respect for Paul, no respect. He is so arrogant, thinks he deserves it all. Paul has never done the hard yards that everyone else has. This was a rubbish win for Paul. (I get it’s good for business for Styles to pout over Paul, but I still don’t get it)

**MATCH 6 — Women’s Tag Team titles on the line with Liv/Raquel out first, waiting to see who they will face. Lyria ValKyria is out next. Guess who is back? It’s Becky Lynch. This has turned out to be a great match. The last time Lyria and Becky worked together was in 2023 when Lyria beat Becky for the Women’s NXT Title. OMG, Becky with the win, The new Women’s Tag Team Titles are now with Becky/Lyria. It was Becky who became “Becky 2 belts” Now, it’s Lyria 2 belts.

**Backlash on May 10

Stone Cold Steve Austin’s Music just broke. Tonight’s attendance is 63,226. Two days, 124,693 for the combined 2 days.

**MAIN EVENT — Cody Rhodes, who holds the Undisputed Championship defending against John Cena. This is the match to expect anything when you least expect it. John is out first, will be interesting to see how the Universe reacts. It’s been a back-and-forth match, and John and Cody have both had their times to shine in the match. This could still go either way, but with John being the heel. Do you let John beat Rick Flair’s World Title Record, or do you preserve it with Rick, who gave everything for the company? Travis Scott is out causing issues. Cody had it won, but the Ref got pulled out of the ring. They put the belt on John Cena. Well, they did what I thought they would not do by giving the belt to John, but it won’t last long. Cody will get the belt back at SummerSlam.

NXT: Stand and Deliver

This show aired live at 2am in Australia, and I am just getting to watch the show

NXT Worlds Collide on Saturday, June 7th in Los Angeles.

Booker T, Vic and Corey at the announcer’s desk. The handsome Mike Rome is handling ring announcer duties.

**MATCH 1 — Ricky Saints, who holds the North American Title facing off against Ethan Page. Ricky just bounced off the announcer’s desk. It was not pretty. Ethan will do anything to walk that fine line to make sure he leaves Vegas with the title. Ricky is taking everything that Ethan is dishing out and still finding a way to kick out. With one burst of energy, Ricky was able to finish Ethan off, getting the win.

**MATCH 2 — The Men’s Tag Team titles are on the line as Axium/Nathan Frazier will defend the titles against Hank/Tank. If Hank/Tank can work like they did for the Gauntlet, they may just pull this win off. (I can see Axium/Nathan getting drafted; they are going to make the Men’s tag division take notice.) This match is crazy; you need to pay attention. Holy cow, man, even Axium, Nathan were stunned by the rope dive. Tank is on his own, with Hank out on the announcer’s table. I do not know how Hank made it in the ring to break up the count. I am speechless right now, no clue how in the world Hank/Tank won this match. Congratulations to Hank/Tank. I think this was one of the first matches that Axium/Frazier were matched with the speed.

**MATCH 3 — North American Title Ladder Match — Thea Hail, Lola Vice, Izzi Dame, Kelani Jordan, Zaria, Sol Rucia. I love Thea Hail and Sol. Sol was so close the first time, but I am hoping she can finally make it to the top of the mountain this time, winning the title. The Ladies held their own, bringing it with them; only Kelani had Ladder match experience. There will be sore bodies tomorrow. Congratulations to Sol Ruca on winning the match.

**MATCH 4 — 6-man tag team with The D’Angelo family facing Dark State. This is not going to end well for the family, I have a feeling. It was a good match, Tony and the boys holding their own, but Stacks just hit Tony with a cheap shot. That just handed Dark State the win.

**MATCH 5 — It’s the fatal 4-way with Guilia, Jaida Parker, Jordyanne Grace facing Stephanie Vaquer, who is the current title holder. The first Lady to get a pin or a submission is the winner. Everyone has had their little moment to shine, and some have been working together. Jaida has just done a triple stack, taking out everyone. That is another match you need to stop and watch, the ladies have given the Universe another brilliant match with Stephanie pinning Jaide for the win.

**MATCH 5 — It’s a triple threat match for the Men’s NXT Title with Oba Femi defending against Trick Williams and Ja’von Evans. I can’t see Oba losing the title in this match. Something would have to go really wrong for Oba to lose. I am surprised that Ja’von is holding his own, even with Oba. Each man is holding their own, almost getting a win with various pinning combinations. They just took out the announcer’s desk. Even the Ref has been taken out. That was insane, Oba Femi with the final pin on Ja’von. Oba took out Trick, who rolled out of the ring. It was a massive power bomb that Obi hit Ja’vom with for the win. Oba Femi is a major force to be reckoned with. I can’t see the Men’s title changing hands anytime soon.

WrestleMania Saturday

I have seen that NXT: Stand and Deliver has set the benchmark. I will catch you up with my show notes for NXT as soon as possible, it was on at 2am here in Australia

**NEWS — Rey Fenix will take Rey Mysterio’s place in his match against El Grande Americano

Cole, Pat, and Wade Barrett are seated at the announcer’s desk, where Alicia Taylor is making the introductions.

**MATCH 1 — What an opening match! Jey Uso is facing Gunther, and it will be interesting to see if Gunther can keep the crowd from influencing the match. Gunther is trying everything to prevent Jey from winning, and it’s clear that he is getting frustrated. Let’s hope he makes a mistake. In a surprising turn of events, Jey Uso made Gunther tap out!**

**MATCH 2 — The RAW Tag Team Titles are on the line as the War Raiders defend their championship against the New Day. (I’ve never been a fan of New Day as heels.) The match played out as expected for heel tactics; they ended up stealing the belts. If they think the Universe will show them any respect now, they are mistaken.

**MATCH 3 –We have the first ladies’ match of the weekend, featuring Jade Cargill facing Naomi. This encounter promises to be explosive. Naomi entered the ring first, showing that she was ready for this storyline. However, Jade managed to catch Naomi in midair, showcasing her impressive strength. Jade was determined not to be denied. At times, Naomi lets her frustration get the better of her, which can lead to mistakes—this time, it cost her. Jade secured her first WrestleMania victory.

**MATCH 4 — The United States Title is on the line as L.A. Knight defends against Jacob Fatu. Solo walked to the top of the ramp with Jacob. It’s been all Jacob with hints of Knight trying to fight back. Knight caught Fatu in a BFT out of mid-air, but it was too close to the ropes for Jacob to break the count. I am not surprised by this outcome. Congratulations to Jacob Fatu on his first singles title.

**MATCH 5 — Rey Fenix, who is replacing Rey Mysterio, who is out with an injury, faces El Grande Americano (Chad Gable). It would be nice to see El Grande unmasked tonight. Chad just slipped the medal plate into his mask. What a waste of a match spot. El Grande Americano steals what could have been a really good match.

Attendance tonight — 61,467 for night one.

**MATCH 6 –The WWE Women’s Championship is on the line as Tiffany Stratton defends her title against Charlotte Flair. There’s definitely no love lost between these two, which promises to make this match intense. They are being allowed to tell their story in the ring, and it’s shaping up to be the match of the night. Tonight’s battle was epic, showcasing their narrative effectively. In the end, Tiffany emerged victorious, with both competitors leaving everything in the ring.

**MATCH 7 — The main event of the night is a triple-threat match featuring CM Punk, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins. This match could go any way, and I would love to see Punk come out on top. However, I wonder if Paul Heyman will play a part in this. Seth enters first, wielding a flamethrower, which is quite the spectacle. It’s unusual not to see Roman with Paul Heyman by his side. CM Punk makes his entrance last, accompanied by Heyman. Since this is a triple-threat match, anything goes. After this, the feud between Seth and Punk can continue, but that raises the question: What will happen with Roman? CM Punk manages to get Seth out of the ring and then hits Roman with a Go-To-Sleep, but Roman kicks out, showing his resilience. As the match progresses, Seth starts trash-talking, attempting to get Roman to help him eliminate Punk. In response, Roman punches Seth and body slams CM Punk onto the announcer’s table. Roman then slams Seth through the other announce table with a brutal move. A fierce spear from Roman nearly takes out Seth, and we see a flurry of moves: a Go-To-Sleep, a spear, and a stomp. At this point, Paul Heyman has a steel chair in hand. Who will he give it to? In a surprising turn, Heyman hands the chair to Punk. Then, he kneels and offers the chair to Roman, but instead, he betrays Roman and gives the chair to Seth. Seth capitalises on this, delivering a chair shot to Roman, followed by the stomp, securing the win.

Paul departed with Seth Rollins.

Roman walks out dejected, with CM Punk still in the ring.

WWE Hall of Fame 2025

Pat and Michael are you’re host for tonight. Cole has been in the business for 28 years.

Lex Luger being inducted into the H.O.F. by Diamond Dallas Page. He wanted Sting to induce him, but it could not able to be worked out in time. Cody Rhodes delivered the news to Lex and Dallas. They had to bring out in a wheel chair but he is standing to accept this honor.

Kalama has been inducted into the Hall of Fame in the Legacy wing. Dory Funk Senior has joined Kalama in the Hall of Fame Legacy wing. Ivan Koloff joins Kalama and Dory in the Legacy wing.

Michelle McCool was inducted by her husband, The Undertaker. With Michelle joining Mark in the H.O.F., they become the 3rd married couple joining Booker T and Charmell, along with Beth Phoenix and Edge.

The Natural Disasters — Typhoon(Fred Ottman)(Tugboat), Earthquake (John Tenta). John passed away in 2006. John’s family, along with Fred’s family, inducted them into the H.O.F. Fred shared how excited he was to be teamed with John, they had much in common.

The first Immortal’s Moment being inducted is Brett Heart and Steve Austin. WrestleMania 13, a no disqualification match. This match has been ticked as the start of the Attitude Era. CM Punk has been given the honour of inducting Brett/Steve.

Paul Levesque, better known as Triple H. Paul is already in the H.O.F. with Degeneration X, but was not in there on his own until now. It was Shawn Michaels/with the Undertaker, who surprised him with the news that he was being inducted. Shawn Michaels is inducting Triple H. Not used to seeing Paul at a loss for words. Paul said, It’s not about him, it’s about the people who helped to get him there. (Paul’s parents have been together for 61 years) Paul shared about how much Dusty meant to him and talked about some of what he taught him. Both Paul and Cody got emotional.

Smackdown Going Home.

It’s the final SmackDown before the weekend events in Las Vegas. I expect anything to happen today.

Joe and Wade are sitting at the announcer’s desk, while Mark is handling the ring announcing duties.

Seth Rollins is out to open the show. (interesting suit) Seth is cutting a promo for his match on WrestleMania Saturday.

The Andre the Giant Battle Royal — Truth just eliminated Carlito. A-Town Down under just took out Pretty Deadly. Rey Fenix takes out Santos Escobar. Otis took out the Creed brother, but the momentum took him out also. Andrade takes out A-Town Down Under. Chad Gable was taken out by Rey Fenix. Pete Dunn takes out Kaiser. 4 left are Shinsuke, Andrade, Carmelo, and Rey. Andrade eliminates Shinsuke (Chad Gable dressed as El Grande takes out Rey. Hayes and Andrade are the last 2 standing. Carmelo Hayes takes out Andrade for the win.

Rhea Ripley is on her way to the ring. (I still have no clue why they took the belt off her to begin with.) Iyo Sky is heading to the ring. Iyo never got a word out, then Bianca’s music started. The Universe is letting Bianca know that they are not happy with her. Naomi just walked out, still going after Bianca. Here comes Jade. It all breaks down, Naomi does a runner with Iyo taking out the rest of the ladies.

Motor City Machine Guns in a tag title match against Street Profits. #DIY: Get involved in ending the match. DIY claiming they are the titles theirs. Nick has had enough, the Tag Belts will be hung over the Ring, in a T.L.C match with the Profits, Guns and DIY

Randy Orton is on his way to the ring. (saw an interview with Kevin Owens, he was given permission to use a modified pile driver, which is actually safer than the regular pile driver) Randy still has no opponent. Randy has issued an open challenge.

Zelina Vega, in a rematch with Chelsea Green, Piper Niven and Alba Fire, has been banned from the ringside. Zelina with a legimate win.

L.A. Knight in the ring for a chat. Knight is facing Solo Sokia in a singles match. Knight was on the verge of winning, but Jacob Fatu showed up, and Braun Strowman came to the rescue of Knight. Nick just turned things into a tag match with Knight/Strowman facing Sokia/Fatu. Braun Strowman/L.A. Knight get the win.

6-man tag team with Rey, Dragon Lee and Rey Fenix facing Chad Gable/Creed Brothers. (Never been a fan of Chad and the Creeds) At times it was a 3 on 1 or a 3 on 2 match, but in the end, it would be Rey, Dragon and Rey with the win.

The final face-off between John Cena and Cody Rhodes. Not wasting any time with John coming out also. ( I can’t stand John as a heel) John is trying to get into Cody’s head. Shut up, John. Cody just told John he is overrated. Cody just gave John a much-needed tongue-lashing. The best thing Cody said was that it’s 2025 and John still can’t wrestle. John tried to drop Cody, but in the end, it was Cody with a crossroads, leaving John in the ring on his back.

NXT heading to Stand and Deliver

This is going to be a good card this weekend. The NXT PLE are improving, and the storylines are getting the needed time.

At this point, from what I am reading, the draft will take place post WrestleMania. Not sure if the draft will start on RAW as it usually does.

Vic, Booker T and Corey at the announcer’s Desk. Mike Rome is taking care of the Ring Announcer duties.

The show is opening with Mike announcing the Fatal Four Way for the #1 contenders match for the right to face Ricky Saints at Stand and Deliver for the Men’s North American Title. Ricky joined the boys at the desk. Ethan Page got Ricky Saints tossed from the ringside. Really, Ethan Page wins the match. It was a solid opening, given the time it needed. Of Course, Ethan, running his mouth, gets speared by Ricky.

Tatum Paxley in a qualifying match for the Women’s North American Title Ladder match at Stand and Deliver. She is facing off against Lola Vice. This could be interesting. Lola should take this match, but don’t count Tatum out. It was a real fight; Tatum held her own, but in the end, it was Lola with the win.

Tag Team Gauntlet match for the #1 Contendership for the Men’s Tag Titles. Opening with Hank and Tank, who are facing Tyson/Tyriek. Not sure how that happened, but Hank/Tank now have the Culling to deal with. How in the world did they do that? Hank/Tank pulled out on a hell of a win over Culling. I have never seen Hank/Tank with the intensity they have tonight. This match is the highlight of the night. The final team is Brooks/Inamura. I have no clue how in the world they survived this match, but Hank/Tank are on their way to Stand and Deliver.

Ok, this started as a Parking Lot rumble, moving to a street fight between the D’Angelo Family and Dark State. Tony just showed up with a crowbar. Something is going down at Stand and Deliver.

Ava has told Roxanne that if she can find herself a tag partner, she can enter the Women’s Tag Gauntlet match. Miss high and mighty says she doesn’t need a partner, but Cora Jade has made an offer.

Karmen Petrovic is on her way to the ring for her qualifying match for the Women’s North American Title Ladder match against the returning Thea Hail. Wow, Thea made short work of Karmen, forcing her to tap out with the Kamora lock.

On the Stand and Deliver countdown, there will be a 4-way tag elimination match between Cora Jade/Roxanne Perez vs Meta Girls vs Jacy Jade/Fallon Henley and Tatum Paxley/Gigi Dolan. Winner becomes the #1 Contender for the Women’s Tag Team Titles.

The final face-off between Oba Femi/Trick Williams and Ja’von Evans before their title match at Stand and Deliver. Needless to say, things broke down and fists started flying, but it was Ja’von who was the last man standing holding the NXT Men’s Title
