WrestleMania Nights 1 & 2 Match Cards

April 1st & 2nd So-Fi Stadium, Inglewood, California

Have your say in the "Who will win" Polls!

NIGHT 1

Singles Match for the WWE United States Champion Austin Theory (c) v John Cena

The story so far (via Wikipedia) 

Since April 2022, Austin Theory and John Cena had been teasing a match against each other over social media. The two briefly came face-to-face during Cena's 20-year anniversary celebration on the June 27, 2022, episode of Raw, where Theory mocked Cena and called him out of touch. In February 2023, during the Elimination Chamber post-event press conference after Theory had retained the United States Championship at the event, Theory was annoyed that everyone was asking about Cena instead of his own accomplishments. After it was announced that Cena would be making his return on the March 6 episode of Raw, Theory stated that he would be giving him a warm welcome back. Theory confronted Cena on that episode and claimed that Cena was an inspiration to him and then challenged Cena to face him at WrestleMania 39 for the United States Championship, however, Cena declined as he felt Theory was not ready. After some coaxing from Theory, Cena allowed his hometown of Boston to decide, and they cheered to see the match, which prompted Cena to accept the challenge. On March 24, it was confirmed that the match would open Night 1.

Singles Match Seth "Freakin" Rollins v Logan Paul

The story so far (via Wikipedia)

At the Royal Rumble, Logan Paul, who had been out with an injury since Crown Jewel in November 2022, made a surprise return as an entrant in the men's Royal Rumble match and eliminated Seth "Freakin" Rollins. Following this, Rollins began bad mouthing Paul in interviews, stating that he did not want Paul to be in WWE. At Elimination Chamber during the titular match, Paul snuck into the Chamber and attacked Rollins, costing him the United States Championship.[44] Paul accepted Rollins' invitation to appear on the March 6 episode of Raw, where Rollins wanted to fight only for Paul to decline and state that he would not fight for free and hinted that they could fight at WrestleMania 39. WrestleMania host The Miz then claimed that he could make the match official, and it was later confirmed. On his Impaulsive podcast, Paul stated that the match would be happening on Night 1.

Singles Match for the WWE Women's Smackdown Championship Charlotte Flair (c) v Rhea Ripley

The story so far (via Wikipedia)

At the Royal Rumble, Raw's Rhea Ripley won the women's Royal Rumble match to earn a women's championship match of her choice at WrestleMania 39. On the following episode of Raw, she chose to challenge Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women's Championship, setting up a WrestleMania rematch between the two from WrestleMania 36 in 2020, where Flair had won that year's Royal Rumble and had chosen and defeated Ripley for the NXT Women's Championship. This subsequently marks the first women's WrestleMania rematch to happen at a WrestleMania.

Six-Woman Tag Team Match Trish Stratus, Lita & Becky Lynch v Damage CTRL (Bayley, Dakota Kai & Iyo Sky)

Men's WrestleMania Fatal Four-Way Tag Team Showcase Braun Strowman & Ricochet v The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford) v The Alpha Academy (Chad Gable & Otis) v The Viking Raiders (Erik & Ivar)

The story so far (via Wikipedia)

On the March 17 episode of SmackDown, it was announced that at WrestleMania 39, there would be two WrestleMania Showcase matches, which would be fatal four-way tag team matches, with one each for the men and women. Qualifying matches for the women's Showcase began that night. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez qualified first by defeating Tegan Nox and Emma. The following week, Natalya and Shotzi qualified by defeating Xia Li and Lacey Evans, and after the match, Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler were added, bypassing a qualifier match. No qualifying matches were held for the men's Showcase as all four teams were announced on March 20: Braun Strowman and Ricochet, The Viking Raiders (Erik and Ivar), The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford), and Alpha Academy (Chad Gable and Otis).

Tag Team Match for the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Titles The Usos (Jey & Jimmy Uso) (c) v Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn

The story so far (via Wikipedia)

Since late 2020, Kevin Owens had an off and on feud with The Bloodline. At Survivor Series WarGames in November 2022, Owens was on the opposing team in a WarGames match against The Bloodline, which included Owens' best friend, Sami Zayn, who joined The Bloodline as an honorary member in mid-2022. The Bloodline was victorious at Survivor Series thanks to Zayn betraying Owens. After Bloodline leader Roman Reigns defeated Owens at the 2023 Royal Rumble, Bloodline members The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso) and Solo Sikoa attacked Owens, while Zayn watched on in uncertainty. Reigns ordered Zayn to attack Owens with a steel chair, but Zayn turned on Reigns and attacked him instead. Zayn apologized to Jey, who he had become close with, only for Jimmy, Sikoa, and Reigns to attack Zayn as an emotionally distraught Jey left the ring as the rest of The Bloodline continued the assault. This led to a match between Reigns and Zayn at Elimination Chamber where Reigns won, but after the match, Owens prevented The Bloodline (except Jey) from further attacking Zayn. On the following Raw, Zayn said that despite their rough history, he and Owens should work together to take down The Bloodline. Owens said that he only assisted Zayn so that Zayn's family would not have to see him get destroyed like Owens did in front of his own family at the Royal Rumble and he told Zayn he would continue fighting alone. Over the next weeks, Zayn tried to convince The Usos that Reigns was manipulating them. Jimmy maintained his loyalty to his family, while Jey's uncertainty continued until the March 6 episode of Raw where he seemingly sided with Zayn, but then turned on him, because Zayn was not family. The following week, Reigns' WrestleMania opponent Cody Rhodes attempted to help resolve issues between Owens and Zayn, but Owens refused; however, later that night, Owens came to Zayn's aid, who got ambushed by The Usos, and Owens and Zayn embraced. On the March 20 episode of Raw, The Usos accepted Owens and Zayn's challenge for a match at WrestleMania 39 for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship.

Singles Match Rey Mysterio v Dominik Mysterio

The story so far (via Wikipedia) 

Rey Mysterio would also have his own issues with The Judgment Day, which only heightened when his own son Dominik turned on him to join Judgment Day at Clash at the Castle in September 2022.[63] Rey refused to fight his own son and was about to quit WWE, but he was convinced to stay, and he was traded to the SmackDown brand to avoid Judgment Day on Raw. However, their paths would cross again at the Royal Rumble. Rey was supposed to compete in the men's Royal Rumble match, but he never came out when his entrance music played. Dominik then entered, carrying Rey's mask, implying that he attacked his dad to prevent him from entering. With Judgment Day's Rhea Ripley winning the women's Royal Rumble and choosing to challenge for the SmackDown Women's Championship, the group began appearing on SmackDown, thus Dominik began tormenting his dad again. On the March 10 episode, after it was announced that Rey would be the first inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2023, The Judgment Day interrupted and Dominik said his dad did not deserve the recognition. The following week, an emotional Rey said he wanted Dominik by his side for his Hall of Fame induction, but Dominik instead tried goading Rey into a match at WrestleMania 39. Rey, however, affirmed his position that he would not fight his son. On the March 24 episode, the Mysterio family were in attendance for Rey's match, which he lost thanks to interference from Dominik. Afterwards, Dominik disrespected his mother and sister, forcing Rey to intervene and hit Dominik. Rey then stated that Dominik forced him to do so and accepted his challenge for a match at WrestleMania 39.

NIGHT 2

Single's Match for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship Roman Reigns (c) v Cody Rhodes

The story so far (via Wikipedia)

At WrestleMania 38, Cody Rhodes made a surprise return to WWE after having been away from the company for six years—during his time away, he established himself on the independent circuit and helped found another promotion, All Elite Wrestling, in January 2019. At the same event, Roman Reigns became the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion by retaining his Universal Championship and winning the WWE Championship. On the Raw after WrestleMania, Rhodes stated that he returned to win the WWE Championship, not only for himself, but also for his late father, Dusty, who never won the title.In June, Rhodes suffered a pectoral injury, which sidelined him for several months. At the 2023 Royal Rumble, Rhodes returned and won the men's Royal Rumble match to earn a match against Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39. While Rhodes simply wanted to win the championship to bring honor to his family, Reigns, by way of his special counsel Paul Heyman, made it personal, with Heyman stating that Dusty's last words to him were that although Cody was his favorite son, Reigns, who Dusty trained, was the son he always wanted. On the March 3 episode of SmackDown, Rhodes confronted Reigns face-to-face for the first time. Rhodes claimed that throughout his career, he had always overcome the odds and would do it again at WrestleMania. Reigns reinforced what Heyman had said, and then told Rhodes that at WrestleMania, if there was anything that Dusty did not teach his own son, Reigns would.

Single's Match for the WWE Raw Women's Championship Bianca Belair (c) v Asuka

The story so far (via Wikipedia)

Due to the women’s Royal Rumble match winner choosing the SmackDown Women's Championship, an Elimination Chamber match was scheduled for the eponymous event to determine Bianca Belair's challenger for the Raw Women's Championship at WrestleMania 39. The match was won by Asuka.

Singles Match Brock Lesnar v Omos

The story so far (via Wikipedia)

On the February 20 episode of Raw, Omos and his manager MVP addressed the match between Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley from Elimination Chamber. MVP called Lesnar a coward and claimed that Lesnar intentionally disqualified himself because Lesnar knew he could not break Lashley's Hurt Lock submission. MVP then invited Lesnar to Raw the following week to accept Omos' challenge for a match at WrestleMania 39. That episode, after MVP sold him on the match, Lesnar accepted.

Triple Threat for the WWE Intercontinental Championship Gunther (c) v Drew McIntyre v Sheamus

The story so far (via Wikipedia)

On the March 3 episode of SmackDown, a fatal five-way match between Drew McIntyre, LA Knight, Sheamus, Kofi Kingston, and Karrion Kross was announced for the following week, where the winner would face Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 39. On March 9, it was announced that due to an injury, Kingston's New Day tag team partner Xavier Woods would replace him in the match. A double pinfall occurred in the match, with McIntyre and Sheamus named co-winners. It was then announced that the two would face each other the following week to determine the definitive number one contender, however, that match ended in a no-contest after Imperium (Gunther, Ludwig Kaiser, and Giovanni Vinci) attacked both men. WWE official Adam Pearce then decided that Gunther would defend the championship against both McIntyre and Sheamus in a triple threat match at WrestleMania 39.

The story so far (via Wikipedia)

At SummerSlam in July 2022, Bayley made her return from injury alongside Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky after Becky Lynch's match. Lynch would take time off due to an attack from Bayley, Kai, and Sky and the three dubbed themselves as Damage CTRL. Lynch made her return in November, and led her team in defeating Damage CTRL's team in a WarGames match at Survivor Series WarGames. Over the next few weeks, Damage CTRL continued targeting Lynch and on the February 6, 2023, episode of Raw, during a Steel Cage match between Lynch and Bayley, WWE Hall of Famer Lita returned and prevented Kai and Sky from interfering in the match, allowing Lynch to defeat Bayley. Lynch and Lita then defeated Kai and Sky on the February 27 episode to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, thanks to returning fellow Hall of Famer, Trish Stratus, who prevented Bayley from interfering. The following week, Stratus, who had retired at SummerSlam in 2019, stated that she was coming out of retirement so that she, Lynch, and Lita could challenge Damage CTRL to a six-woman tag team match at WrestleMania 39 and Damage CTRL accepted.

Hell in a Cell Match Edge v Finn Balor

The story so far (via Wikipedia)

At WrestleMania 38, Edge won his match thanks to a distraction from Damian Priest. The two then formed a faction named The Judgment Day. Over the next couple of months, Rhea Ripley and Finn Bálor would also be added to the group. In June, however, Bálor, Priest, and Ripley turned on Edge, kicking him out of the group. In September, The Judgment Day recruited Dominik Mysterio. Edge continued his feud with The Judgment Day over the next few months, and he and his wife Beth Phoenix teamed up to defeat Bálor and Ripley at Elimination Chamber. On the following episode of Raw, Edge, who felt his feud with The Judgment Day was over, lost his United States Championship match after interference from Bálor. The following week, Bálor said their feud was not done and challenged Edge to a match at WrestleMania 39. On the following week's episode, Edge interfered in Bálor's match, causing him to lose, and Edge challenged Bálor to meet him alone on the next episode.[55] There, the two agreed to a Hell in a Cell match at WrestleMania 39, and Edge said he wanted to face Bálor's "Demon" persona.

Women's WrestleMania Fatal Four-Way Tag Team Showcase Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez v Natayla & Shotzi v Shayna Baszler & Ronda Rousey v Sonya Deville & Chelsea Green

The story so far (via Wikipedia)

On the March 17 episode of SmackDown, it was announced that at WrestleMania 39, there would be two WrestleMania Showcase matches, which would be fatal four-way tag team matches, with one each for the men and women.

Elimination Chamber Press Event || February 23 - 2024

[iamjamesmatthew]

5 THINGS THAT GOT ME THROUGH THE WEEK - PRO WRESTLING EDITION

1. NAOMI WINS THE SMACKDOWN WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP AT THE ELIMINATION CHAMBER

Much like Bray Wyatt's championship win, this something I have been wanting to see for a long time. Naomi, the former Funkadactyl dancer and survivor of the original NXT concept show defeated Alexa Bliss to become the new Smackdown Women’s Championship. Some people will criticise the title change for cutting short Alexa's reign as champion, however, I welcome it. It took eight years of setbacks, injuries, bad gimmicks, and overcoming the awful Divas era of wrestling before Naomi could hold the gold.  I feel the timing is right because this athlete deserved to hold the Women's Championship which in its sixth month of existence is more valuable than the Divas belt.

The story of her perseverance is something that adds to the importance of this story. In an era of "hotshot" championship reigns and rushed wins, Naomi is a reminder that talent and hard work do prevail.

2. BRAY WYATT WINS THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP AT THE ELIMINATION CHAMBER

I have been waiting years for this to happen … Bray Wyatt is holding championship gold. Amen! The Eater of Worlds not only won the WWE Championship in the Elimination Chamber but he also pinned John Cena and AJ Styles in the same match. That's unfathomable. It's a legend-making moment similar to when Chris Jericho beat Steve Austin and The Rock in the same night to come WWE’s first Unified Champion in 2001. Despite all the hot and cold treatment Bray has been getting from the promoters, it does feel that the Era of Wyatt has jumped off to a great start.

Going into WrestleMania it looks like Randy Orton challenging Bray Wyatt for the WWE World Championship will be Smackdown Live's main event, and that has me pumped (for real). Bray Wyatt in the main event, going against Randy Orton (and possibly the newly revitalised Luke Harper) is all that's right in the WWE Universe. Names like Goldberg, Undertaker, and Brock Lesnar will get more press coverage yet we all know it's the men like Wyatt who will make the show memorable.  Let's see what happens.

3. SAMOA JOE ON MONDAY NIGHT RAW

The sit-down interview with Michael Cole was on-point and firmly established Samoa Joe as a threat to everyone on the WWE roster - both athlete and broadcaster. During the interview, it was obvious that his Sami Zayn reference would lead to some sort of confrontation between the two. I assumed a match would take place at a later date, but instead, we had Samoa Joe destroy (pun intended) Zayn in front of the live audience. In under 10 minutes of total airtime, Joe put the whole company on notice; assuring everybody that he is an equal opportunity threat. I also liked the fact that he let it be known that unlike Seth Rollins, Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton, and Batista that he is NOT a lackey; he doesn’t need HHH to make him a star in WWE reminding people that although he is aligned with HHH, he’s not a lackey.

4. KEVIN OWENS & CHRIS JERICHO’s FESTIVAL OF FRIENDSHIP GETS KO'd

All good things come to an end. and as sad as I am to see the end of Kevin Owens and Jericho, I am looking forward to seeing what happens next with Kevin Owens. This more aggressive, more vicious Kevin Owens, the man who run through NXT and later beat up John Cena during his first WWE RAW appearance is the version we need to see as Universal Championship rather than the guy who needs help to win matches. A bad ass KO > silly, comedic KO. It was apparent that Jericho and Ownes would split, but this attack was a complete surprise. I know the internet is speculating that Owens will lose the Universal Championship to Bill Goldberg at Fastlane thus making way for a US Championship match between Owens and Jericho, BUT I think a Jericho vs. Owens main event at WrestleMania would be a must-see, especially after this break-up. Question: Did HHH have something to do with Owens’ attack? Remember, he was seen talking to KO before the Festival of Friendship segment. Could the Cerebral Assassin be ready to explain his relationship with KO?

5. TEDDY LONG ANNOUNCED TO BE INDUCED INTO THE 2017 WWE HALL OF FAME

Of course his time as the Smackdown GM, hollering "playa", is what most people will remember his for but for me, my favorite Teddy Long career moment was during his time in WCW where he managed the likes of Doom (Ron Simmons & Butch Reed), the Original Skyscrapers (Sid Vicious and Dan Spivey), and of course Mean Mark (the future Undertaker) in the 90s. For me, there were very few Black characters on WCW TV, so seeing Teddy Long was a personal highlight for me. That little bit of diversity made WCW watchable, but beyond race I though his character was an attention getter. My favourite moment was his appearances on Terry Funk's Funk's Grill talk show, where the two would sing about "banging up on" the Road Warriors who were feuding with Doom. The idea of diminutive Teddy Long hurting the Road Warriors was over the top funny, for me. I'm glad WWE is honouring a man who for all intents and purposes comes across as being a well-liked and respected by all the people who have worked him. Well deserved. Well earned accomplishment, Mr Long.

HONORABLE MENTION:

BAYLEY DEFEATS CHARLOTTE FOR THE WWE RAW WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP

If anybody thought Bayley’s character was failing to get over with the crowds, they need to watch this match and listen to the reaction Bayley received following the pin. This match was Bayley's best to date on RAW and I am sure she and Charlotte will have a rematch to settle the score. Since the interference from Dana Brooke and Sahsa Banks resulted in the outcome, I am sure the next episode of RAW and the WWE Fastlane pay per view will be affected.

WRESTLERS FROM THE WWE UK TOURNAMENT APPREATING ON NXT

Just when it looked like NXT’s talent pool couldn't get any better, the powers that be decided to incorporate some of the UK tournament athletes (Tyler Bate, Trent Seven, and Pete Dunne) into their show. The addition of these men along with a soon to be returning Kassius Ohno makes NXT seem like the #1 brand in WWE. I envision matches like Nakamura against Pete Dunne or Bobby Roode v. Trent Seven or Tyler Bate v. Roderick Strong. The possibilities are endless.

WrestleMania 36: What to follow in WWE with one month to go

WWE Elimination Chamber is behind us and WrestleMania 36 is less than a month away. Here are 36 observations as we get ready for the big show on April 5 in Tampa, Fla.:

1. Edge versus Randy Orton feels like the main event at WrestleMania — but it won’t be. This is a superb, clear and emotional story, and Edge reminded us on “Monday Night Raw” that he can go to that dark place, just like Orton. We are in for some theater from these masters.

2. I know WWE likes to announce things in advance in hopes of popping a rating, but did we really need to know Edge was going to be back on “Raw” on Monday? How about making his return a surprise, get a big pop and make people feel they need to watch the show to not miss moments like that.

3. The women’s Elimination Chamber match was not a great match and under-delivered in many aspects, but it was the best booking of Shayna Baszler we’ve seen on the WWE main roster: The quick tapouts and her brutalizing of Liv Morgan gave us a glimpse of the killer we loved to hate in NXT. You can make the case they didn’t go far enough with how she ran through her opponents. Break and bend some limbs. Maybe leave one opponent bloodied.

4. Baszler is starting to build the heat she needs going into WrestleMania. She will need it for her persona to better translate to the Raw audience, which will want nothing more than for their hero Becky Lynch to send Baszler back to NXT. If not, a Baszler-Asuka feud could be waiting.

5. Does anyone else feel as if Lynch is Rocky Balboa in “Rocky III” before he got destroyed by Clubber Lang? The Man has been positioned as overconfident, strutting her GOAT status. Her promo to open “Raw” did set a great tone going forward and finally brought Ronda Rousey into the storyline.

6. Why should the audience care about the implosion of the Riott Squad when WWE continues to treat them like jobbers and fails to let their story truly play out in the Elimination Chamber? Ruby Riott, not Liv Morgan (so much for her push), can be the breakout star of the group. Just give her time.

WWE

7. Say what you want about Brock Lesnar, but the last two years, he helped leave his WrestleMania opponents (Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins) in better standing than he found them. The cheers for Drew McIntyre keep growing, and Lesnar told McIntyre to grab the title while selling a beatdown from last week’s “Raw.”

8. I’m all here for Roman Reigns vs. Goldberg and The Fiend vs. John Cena at WrestleMania. I just wish the former was simply Spear vs. Spear, New vs. Old (without the belt) and the other was Cena going for The Fiend’s WWE’s title, which would be his record 17th world championship.

9. Charlotte Flair vs. Rhea Ripley is one of WrestleMania’s most intriguing matches. Flair, who has run through pretty much all of the main roster, would benefit taking the title: She would get fresh matchups in NXT, could help ratings and be used to put over Bianca Belair. Otherwise Ripley gets a big rub from beating WWE’s Golden Girl at WrestleMania. Either outcome has big implications.

10. Undertaker’s surprise appearance at Elimination Chamber was exactly how you should use him and added to the anticipation for his WrestleMania match with AJ Styles.

11. I do have a challenge for WWE: Get me an Undertaker WrestleMania feud that isn’t just about the next guy calling him out for a match. That may be asking a lot from a company that long-term booked Erick Rowan’s cage holding a giant fake tarantula, which McIntyre quickly destroyed.

12. What if this whole Undertaker-Styles feud is about getting Aleister Black a star-making rub? Black also went over Rollins on Monday’s “Raw.”

13. Black Mass is one of the best finishers in WWE. Tell me otherwise.

14. Rollins feels very natural in his Monday Night Messiah role, but how many multi-man tag matches can one wrestler be booked in?

15. Happy Sami Zayn finally earned a singles title on the main roster. It’s about time. But did it have to come at the expense of Braun Strowman so quickly? Strowman has been waiting for a championship run, too. WWE didn’t pull the trigger on him as a world champion a few years ago. Not sure he can afford another start and stop.

16. WWE playing hot potato with the Intercontinental Championship, even in a 3-on-1 handicap match, continues to devalue the once-proud title. It easily could flip back to Strowman at WrestleMania.

17. The feud among Andrade, Humberto Carrillo, Angel Garza and Rey Mysterio has been compelling and fun in the ring, even with being built around Andrade’s Wellness Policy suspension. But it is time to get to the next phase of this story. Any one of them is a worthy U.S. champion. Andrade and Carrillo are the front-runners. Would WWE think about doing Andrade vs. Zelina Vega’s real-life husband Aleister Black if Andrade retains?

18. As good as Andrade and Carrillo are in the ring, you can make the case the charismatic Garza comes across the best on screen. WWE could turn him babyface and make Vega choose between him and Andrade in a post-WrestleMania feud.

19. What Daniel Bryan is doing with Drew Gulak is fantastic. They told an excellent story during their match at Elimination Chamber in Gulak’s hometown of Philadelphia. Bryan also got Heath Slater and Curtis Axel some TV time. Hope the plug isn’t pulled too quickly on this, but WWE could want a more marquee match for Bryan in Tampa.

20. “Who sent Otis the text to spoil his Valentine’s Day date with Mandy Rose?” is a storyline WWE needs to make more prominent, despite Rose telling Otis she’s moved on. Otis vs. Ziggler needs to end with either Otis getting the girl or Sonya Deville being the one who sent the text. If not, what was the point?

21. At the least, WWE has an increasingly over, non-New Day babyface tag team in Heavy Machinery. Will they capitalize on it? Heavy Machinery was the second team out of the Elimination Chamber after getting a huge rub from the gauntlet match on last week’s “SmackDown.”

22. The SmackDown tag team match was the best on the pay-per-view as the division continues stealing the show. Please continue to give them the time and respect they deserve and keep them off kickoff shows.

23. John Morrison and his acrobatic move set has been a fun addition to the WWE roster. How soon until he turns on Miz and starts a singles run?

24. Thank you WWE for giving us more of Robert Roode’s glorious entrance. It used to be one of the coolest in wrestling, and is still up there.

25. Props to Lince Dorado for that shooting star press from hanging from the roof of the Elimination Chamber. Crazy.

26. Ricochet has been relegated to matches on Main Event. He deserves better than the burying he’s getting right now.

27. Does WWE actually have a women’s tag team division? The 24/7 title has gotten more or equal TV time in recent months. At least the Kabuki Warriors were revived on Monday.

28. The Raw tag team match at Elimination Chamber featured two singles stars in Rollins and Murphy against the Street Profits in a match that was more about advancing Rollins’ feud with Kevin Owens.

29. When does Kevin Owens get to work his magic at the top of the card or is he destined to be an upper-midcard storytelling star?

30. The Street Profits are fun, they bring energy and they have a great connection with a live crowd. They are stars. WWE needs to start booking them that way.

31. King Corbin feuding with Elias sounds about right.

32. The Revival’s contracts in WWE should be up in June. If and how they are booked for WrestleMania 36 could be a telling sign about their future.

33. Jeff Hardy is returning to SmackDown this Friday after a long hiatus. It was wonderful to see Hardy look refreshed and healthy on “WWE Backstage” last week.

34. Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder almost made it to the pay-per-view Sunday, but lost on the kickoff show instead.

35. WWE said last week WrestleMania 36 is going on as planned in Tampa, Fla., though they are monitoring the outbreak of the coronavirus. If other major sports, such as the NBA, NCAA or NHL start forbidding fans from attending games, at some point you have to take a long, hard look in the mirror and reevaluate.

36. Stone Cold Steve Austin returns to Raw for 3/16 Day. Oh, hell yeah!

WWE Uncooked outcomes, recap: Roman Reigns pulls double responsibility, girls shine all evening

One week after an exciting Royal Rumble, WWE was again with an uneven version of Uncooked, which delivered in some methods however was completely missing in others. Roman Reigns really pulled double responsibility on the present competing in two matches over the course of the night, however he was outshined by the Uncooked girls’s division, which excelled in every of their segments over the three-hour program.

Not solely was the ladies’s Elimination Chamber match set (with some controversy), the boys’s Chamber is now one entrant away from being full. There are three official matches now on the slate for the following Uncooked pay-per-view with a number of extra but to be determined. 

Lets check out what went down Monday evening on Uncooked.

Girls’s division booked sturdy on Monday

Not like most editions of Uncooked the place the ladies get one or presumably two segments, they have been featured extensively on Monday evening with 5 totally different segments all through the present. The first storyline concerned 4 girls particularly: Asuka, Bayley, Sasha Banks and Nia Jax. It began when, watching movie of her loss to Asuka from final week, Banks informed Bayley she now is aware of beat the Empress of Tomorrow. Bayley requested her pal to share that data, however Banks refused, saying she was protecting her tips to herself. Bayley then known as again to Banks eliminating her from the Royal Rumble, however Banks stated she did what she needed to do and believed she was the one one who may finish Asuka’s undefeated streak. “You assume you may beat Asuka?” she requested Bayley. “I do know I can beat you,” Bayley replied. “And if you happen to’re adequate to beat Asuka, so am I.”

Asuka def. Bayley by way of submission: The high-intensity two-segment match featured loads of large spots by each Asuka and Bayley, who’ve a historical past relationship again to NXT. Bayley escaped an Asuka Lock cinched in via the ropes, however as she regarded poised to hit Bayley-to-Stomach, Asuka reversed it into an Asuka Lock. Nevertheless, Bayley instantly rolled via and bought an excessive close to depend. Simply as Asuka kicked out, she instantly locked Bayley in an armbar and made her faucet in seconds. The 2 shared their mutual respect after the match by way of handshake. 

Uncooked common supervisor Kurt Angle introduced earlier than the Asuka-Bayley match the entrants for the Chamber with Mandy Rose, Mickie James and Sonya Deville becoming a member of Bayley and Banks. He additionally stated Jax would face Asuka with Jax in a position to earn a assured shot on the Uncooked girls’s title at WrestleMania 34 ought to she win. Alexa Bliss hit the ring to ask Angle pointedly why she needed to put her title on the road within the Chamber, whereas Lesnar will get to coast to ‘Mania with the boys’s match being for the No. 1 contendership to the common title. Angle famous that Bliss hasn’t defended her title in 4 months as the rationale, however she stated he makes the matches and is performing sexist by treating her totally different than Lesnar. Angle countered by saying Bliss was simply making an attempt to weasel her approach out of the match, leaving it as much as the group to resolve.

Nia Jax def. Vanessa Floyd by way of pinfall: Jax teased and taunted the way-smaller jobber earlier than shortly bulldozing her twice, hitting a pair of hip tosses and dropping a leg for the win. Jax promised to make Asuka put on her match completely and make her the “Empress of Yesterday” at Elimination Chamber.

The Banks-Bayley phase was unbelievable — albeit utterly scripted — and fueled the budding rivalry between the 2 associates. It will explode at some point.  The Asuka-Bayley match was nice, as one ought to count on contemplating their historical past, and informed a constant story in Bayley nonetheless being unable to beat Asuka regardless of getting shut on two events late within the match. The Angle-Bliss phase was a bit sloppy, due largely to Angle being given a convoluted storyline to clarify within the ring and Bliss arising with a powerful argument that was powerful to dispute or counter. The response was blended to Angle’s request for a crowd chant, which isn’t what WWE meant, however finally the match is on. Jax additionally delivered a strong-but-scripted promo in her alternative to talk.

Jason Jordan will get on The Protect’s dangerous aspect, once more

Jordan and Seth Rollins met up backstage early within the present with Rollins expressing concern for Jordan’s well being. Jordan stated he’s utterly wholesome and has been cleared by trainers, so Rollins emphasised it was time for them to exit and win the tag group titles again. Later within the evening, an apologetic Jordan stated he was stretching and “one thing did not really feel proper in his neck,” main trainers to rule him out for the match. Angle informed Rollins he noticed no different choice than to forfeit the match … till Roman Reigns walked into the image as his new accomplice. Jordan and Angle each smiled.

Tag Staff Championship — The Bar (c) def. Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns by way of disqualification to retain the titles: The Bar hit a drained Reigns with their elevated White Noise finisher, however Reigns kicked out after which countered a Gotch Neutralizer . With Rollins injured exterior the ring, Jordan ran right down to carry him again onto the ring apron. Rollins bought the new tag and cleared the ring with a pair dives, however Cesaro dodged the Black Out. Rollins hit a suplex into the Falcon’s Arrow however solely bought a two. Sheamus distracted the ref, permitting Cesaro to poke Rollins within the eye, however Jordan grabbed Cesaro’s leg to neutralize the distraction. After a pair close to falls, Reigns yelled at Jordan, “We bought this,” demanding he go to the again. Rollins hit the ripcord and a superkick on Sheamus, however as Reigns was ready to hit the Protect powerbomb, The Bar tried to vacate ringside. Jordan stood of their approach, main The Bar to assault him, however he blocked Cesaro’s punch and inadvertently linked first, inflicting the interference DQ.

Backstage after the break, Rollins misplaced his cool at Jordan for being egocentric and by no means listening to him. Angle tried to interrupt issues up, however Rollins’ rage saved constructing. “The one factor I am sorry about is [that] I did not legitimately damage him myself!” he screamed. Angle ordered Rollins to again away, however as Jordan protested, he yelled at his son himself. “Go house and keep house till you are medically cleared!” Angle stated as Jordan regarded dejected and depressed.

This was near-perfection from begin to end. Rollins went from supportive within the first phase to aggravated within the second to enraged within the third. In between, he and Reigns placed on an amazing match in opposition to The Bar with Jordan’s interference well-placed. It was a unbelievable storyline end with Jordan purposely getting concerned however by chance costing Rollins and Reigns the titles when it regarded prefer it was of their grasp. With plans seemingly altering for Jordan attributable to his reliable neck harm, will probably be attention-grabbing to see how this performs out over the following few weeks.

What else occurred on Uncooked?

Roman Reigns def. Bray Wyatt by way of pinfall: Earlier than the show-opening match, Wyatt lower a promo about successful the Elimination Chamber a yr in the past within the largest victory of his profession, whereas Reigns lower one saying nothing will cease him on his approach into and thru the Chamber. Matt Hardy was proven watching on a backstage monitor after the primary industrial break. Wyatt reversed a Superman Punch right into a ura-nage, however Reigns finally hit the transfer and regarded able to put Wyatt away. As an alternative, the Eater of Worlds rebounded, hitting Reigns with Sister Abigail just for Reigns to kick out at 2.75, surprising and dismaying Wyatt. This led Wyatt to aim it once more, however Reigns was in a position to energy out and shortly land a spear for the 1-2-Three to advance to the Chamber. Instantly after the end, Hardy appeared within the ring and hit Wyatt with Twist of Destiny. There was hardly any crowd response to Reigns’ anticipated victory regardless of parts of the group chanting, “That is superior,” late within the match. The Reigns win was assumed, however it occurred in such typical trend with him kicking out of a finisher, setting the stage for WrestleMania 34 in opposition to Brock Lesnar.

Finn Balor & Karl Anderson def. The Revival by way of pinfall: Initially set to be a one-on-one match, The Revival challenged Balor to make it a tag group bout. Anderson took Sprint Wilder out at ringside, giving Balor the chance to hit Scott Dawson with a slingblade and Coup de Grace for the clear win. WWE 50-50 booked two wrestlers in as many weeks with Balor getting a win again after falling to John Cena and The Revival consuming an pointless loss after trying like they have been constructing momentum per week in the past.

Cedric Alexander & Mustafa Ali def. Tony Nease & Drew Gulak by way of pinfall: Alexander finally hit Lumbar Examine on Gulak for the victory as he continued his prolonged successful streak.

The Miz def. Apollo Crews by way of pinfall: Forward of the match, Miz lower a promo in regards to the on the spot affect he has made since his return to WWE, defeating Reigns in back-to-back weeks and now about to enter the Chamber. Uncooked got here again from industrial in the midst of the match. Crews bought in an amazing quantity of motion with a moonsault and standing taking pictures star press on Miz however may solely handle a two depend. He additionally reversed the Cranium-Crushing Finale right into a small bundle however was unable to get the pinfall. Finally, Miz hung Crews up on the highest rope, knocked him down and hit his finisher to advance to the Chamber. Credit score WWE for giving Crews a ton of shine for the second straight week. You can argue Miz doesn’t should be within the Chamber (as he isn’t going to win it) and Crews would have been a extra thrilling participant, however alas.

Mickie James def. Sonya Deville by way of pinfall: It was James who was the aggressor early with Deville promoting a busted open nostril. Mandy Rose leaping on the ring apron supplied sufficient of a distraction for Deville to reverse her fortunes as James offered a neck harm. James stunned Deville with a roll-up for the pinfall, main Absolution to assault her after the match till Bliss ran in to save lots of James. Each the group and James have been confused as Bliss helped James to the financial institution.

Elias def. John Cena (by way of pinfall) and Braun Strowman: The winner earned the correct to enter Elimination Chamber final. Elias prevented Strowman so long as he may with Cena taking a beating early, even getting flattened as he tried to hit Strowman with the Angle Adjustment. Finally, Cena and Elias teamed as much as take Strowman out of the ring, drive him into the ring submit twice and throw him into the steps. Strowman couldn’t be knocked down, so Cena drove stairs into him, Elias hit Strowman along with his guitar and Cena hit Strowman with the AA onto the underside of the metal steps. Simply as Cena was able to put Elias away, Strowman ran in for a operating powerslam, however Elias tossed him out of the ring and pinned Cena. Strowman then reentered the ring to powerslam Elias and took out his frustration with an extra operating powerslam for every. WWE lower Strowman’s music early so he may have fun with the group, which was utterly silent, so Strowman hit Cena and Elias with a 3rd operating powerslam every. The motion within the center with Cena and Elias teaming up was unbelievable, and the end was surprising, which made this a constructive phase throughout. The Iowa crowd sat on its fingers all through, nevertheless, and Strowman didn’t get the reception he deserved to finish the present.
