SmackDown Live starts with the traditional cold open showing SHAWN MICHAELS standing backstage in his office in a suit and cowboy mix. He tells us he wants to tone down on some of the chaos we have seen these last few weeks and that’s why he is declaring that there will be no interference in any of the matches that take place tonight, banning everyone from ringside! He then confirmed the show would start with Jacob Fatu taking on Matt Riddle as we cut to the opening video for the show!

---------------------------------------------------------------------
MAYHEM – HALESTORM
---------------------------------------------------------------------

*HEY BRO*

MATT RIDDLE makes his way out, getting cheers from the live crowd. He poses for the fans and even gives the crowd a treat, kicking off his flip-flops, giving someone a souvenir. Corey Graves welcomes us to the show before asking if it was a good idea for Riddle to challenge Fatu two nights before he enters the Money in the Bank ladder match. Byron Saxton says Riddle is not someone to back down from a fight, but Jacob Fatu is no ordinary man!

*ENEMY*

JACOB FATU marches out getting loud boos from the live crowd, cutting every bit the imposing presence he normally does. Corey Graves says Jacob Fatu is two nights away from the biggest match of his career as he fights Chad Gable for the United States title. Byron Saxton wonders if he will use Matt Riddle to send a message to Chad tonight. Jacob steps into the ring across from Riddle as the referee calls for the bell to get the match underway!

Match 1: Jacob Fatu vs Matt Riddle

Match summary: Both men come at each other early on and collide with hard strikes, with neither man giving an inch to the other in this match! Jacob Fatu’s more wild offensive style catches Riddle off-guard and he resorts to trying to grind Fatu down on the mat with a series of submissions instead. He tries to wear down and break the Samoan Werewolf, but Fatu easily overpowers him and starts to dominate the match, aggressively battering Riddle!

Jacob Fatu has Riddle grounded and starts to toss him around the mat with Riddle unable to do much to fight back! Jacob gets Riddle into the corner of the ring, who tries to punch and knee his way out of the corner… BUT FATU KNOCKS HIM BACK DOWN WITH A WICKED HEADBUTT! Fatu then heads to the other corner of the ring before charging back in and CRUSHING HIM WITH A HIP ATTACK… BUT HE DOESN’T STOP THERE HITTING 5 MORE! Fatu is utterly annihilating Matt Riddle, who has stopped moving in the corner.

The referee tells Fatu to stop and just end this… BUT FATU TELLS THE REFEREE TO GET LOST! Fatu then heads to the corner of the ring and springboards up the ropes, HITTING THE MIGHTY MOONSAULT! Fatu makes the cover 1 2 FATU BREAKS THE COVER SHAKING HIS HEAD! He grabs hold of Riddle and lifts him up, hitting a SAMOAN DROP BEFORE HITTING ANOTHER MIGHTY MOONSAULT… BUT FATU DOESN’T STOP THERE! He leaps up to the top rope and hits a THIRD MOONSAULT AS THE REFEREE THROWS THE MATCH OUT!

Winner via stoppage: Jacob Fatu (9:11)

The crowd loudly boos as Jacob Fatu stands over Matt Riddle who is out for the count here. Fatu roars to the crowd as the medical team tries to check on him. Corey Graves says we have seen yet another utterly brutal beating from Jacob Fatu tonight. Byron Saxton says Chad Gable has to be watching backstage and has to have some concern because this is what could happen to him this Sunday. The medics help load Riddle onto a stretcher as we can see BLOOD coming from his mouth as SmackDown goes to a commercial break.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

When we return from the commercial break, the medical team is taking MATT RIDDLE through the back towards an ambulance as ALPHA ACADEMY RUNS OVER TO CHECK ON HIM! United States Champion CHAD GABLE asks the referee for his condition and they say it is not good. KURT ANGLE asks if he will be good to go for WrestleMania, but the medic says they have concerns about when he will be good to go, let alone if it will be this weekend!

Kurt tells the others he is heading with Matt to the hospital and climbs into the ambulance as it heads off into the distance. DANIEL BRYAN says this is what The Bloodline is about and they need to remain calm… as DANIEL GARCIA loses his temper, asking Bryan how they can stay calm right now? Garcia tells Daniel he is going to make Roman pay for what they have done to Riddle and storms off. Gable tells Bryan he will speak to him and the Royal Rumble nods ending the segment.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

We then cut to the inside of a fancy-looking gym as we can see BIANCA BELAIR standing inside the gym ready to do a workout. She is soon joined by VANESSA HUDGENS who has a smile on her face. The two women exchange a bit of banter with each other as Vanessa puts over how much she is a fan of Belair. We can get a fun montage of Belair teaching Vanessa different strikes and counters before a fun moment where Belair lifts Vanessa into the air and walks her around the gym, putting her down. Both women share a hug, bringing the segment to an end.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

*METALINGUS*

EDGE makes his way out, getting a huge pop from the live crowd as he poses at the top of the entrance ramp and waits for his pyro to go off. Edge stays standing there waiting for his tag team partner…

*BOOYAKA 619*

REY MYSTERIO! The crowd loudly cheers as Rey makes his usual entrance before sharing a hug with Edge. The veteran tag team then heads down the entrance ramp and towards the ring. Byron Saxton gives the fans at home a recap on how these men came together as a team, with The Usos costing Edge matches against Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu, whilst taking out Dominik Mysterio. Corey Graves warns that these two should be careful messing with The Bloodline, especially after what Fatu did to Riddle earlier tonight.

Edge and Rey Mysterio make their way into the ring with microphones in hand, looking at the cheering crowd before speaking. Edge tells the fans it is always good to hear their cheers and it keeps him coming back to the ring. Rey nods saying they both know they are not getting any younger so everything they do; it could be the last time they step into the ring. Edge says he has retired once already so every chance he gets to try to win a title could be his last!

Edge says he has held tag team gold so many times in his career, but as these fans know, once is never enough for him when it comes to holding gold. Rey says his motives have always been different from Edge's; it’s always been about his family and his children. Rey says he has been by Dominik’s side to prepare him for the future of this business and the horrors you can face. Rey says he wants revenge for his son and he doesn’t want to wait till tomorrow night, calling out The Usos right now!

*DONE WITH THAT (DAY ONE REMIX)*

THE USOS MAKE THEIR WAY OUT! The crowd loudly boo the 8-time tag team champions as they stand at the top of the entrance ramp posing with their tag team titles. Rey Mysterio dares them to come to the ring right now but JIMMY USO says they are good where they are. JEY USO says they want to make sure they get their WrestleMania payday so they will save putting them on the shelf for tomorrow. The crowd boos the cocky statement but the tag team champions are not done.

Jey makes it clear that what they did to Rey’s son Dominik wasn’t anything personal; they just needed to send a statement. Edge steps forward and asks what that was. Jimmy smirks, saying they are the greatest tag team of all time. Edge laughs at that statement, prompting Jey to get a bit heated and ask what he is laughing at. Edge says he has faced some of the greatest tag teams of all time, and hell, he has been part of some of them, reminding everyone he is a 14-time tag team champion!

Rey adds that he, in his own right, has held tag team gold in WWE 4 times and in WCW 3 times, saying he is an expert like Edge when it comes to tag team wrestling. Edge says they know how to work with different partners, whilst The Usos only have experience with each other! Rey says The Usos will learn what happens when you mess with someone’s son and they will kick their asses. The Usos finish off the promo saying they are the ones who run this division and they will stay on top!

When we return from the commercial break, we can see FIRE AND DESIRE chatting to each other backstage. SONYA DEVILLE jokes that it is every woman for themselves, so Mandy better watch out and be careful. MANDY ROSE jokes she is going to win the battle royal and celebrate with Otis after. Sonya chuckles and smiles before saying Mandy really likes him then. Mandy chuckles a bit nervously before telling Sonya that he is so sweet and kind and… she stops, realizing OTIS DOZOVIC is right behind him!

Otis smiles and asks Mandy nervously if she thinks he is sweet. Mandy blushes slightly and says of course she does. Sonya, in the background, watches and rolls her eyes before telling them to ask each other out already. Otis goes silent and looks nervous as Sonya says she will leave them alone. Mandy chuckles before turning to the silent Otis and asking if he wants to go out. Otis stutters a bit before saying of course. Mandy gives him a kiss and says it is a date, saying they will celebrate winning their matches at WrestleMania and walks off, leaving Otis there with a huge smile on his face.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

*SEDUCTION*

BILLIE KAY makes her way out getting boos from the live crowd with another sign, this time saying “Peyton is the B.E.S.T” and showing it off to the live crowd. Byron Saxton says Billie was offering her services to help Belair at WrestleMania, but Belair turned her down for the help of Vanessa Hudgens. Corey Graves says that might be a huge mistake, pointing out that Vanessa has never stepped into a ring with Billie is iconic.

*WATCH ME SHINE*

BIANCA BELAIR makes her way out, getting huge cheers from the live crowd with a bit of a smile on her face. She whips her hair before walking to the ring, ready for action tonight. Byron Saxton says maybe Belair feels confident enough to beat the House alone and only asked Vanessa because Shawn told her to get a tag team partner. Corey gives her praise and says she is the E.S.T. for a reason, but she might be too confident, wanting to fight the House effectively alone. Billie talks trash to Bianca, who rolls her eyes before the referee calls for the bell to get the match underway!

Match 2: Billie Kay vs Bianca Belair

Match summary: Billie talks a whole lot of trash and is very cocky early on in this match, which backfires on her as Belair dominates and easily overpowers Billie. She tries every trick she can think of to try to get back into the match but in the end, Belair puts her away with the K.O.D!

Winner via pinfall: Bianca Belair (3:13)

Bianca Belair gets to her feet, getting loud cheers from the crowd as she celebrates the relatively easy victory over Billie Kay tonight. Corey Graves says Belair showed her strength tonight, but she is going to need help if she is going to overcome the House of Couture. Byron Saxton says you never know what Vanessa can do… AS THE HOUSE OF COUTURE RUNS OUT AND ATTACKS BELAIR FROM BEHIND! The crowd loudly boos as Belair is overwhelmed by the two on one sneak attack!

JINNY and AMALE lay into them with a bunch of hard strikes, looking to keep the E.S.T. down on the mat. Belair starts to fight back and looks like she is about to overpower the two of them… JINNY A LEAD PIPE TO SMASH THE MID-SECTION OF BELAIR! She falls to her knees as Belair clocks her in the skull with the lead pipe. Jinny looks to carry on the attack and lays a bunch of shots until security comes out, stopping the house. The House smirks in cocky fashion as Belair lies on the floor before Smackdown goes on a commercial break.

When we return from the commercial break, we cut to the commentary team at ringside who say they have been sent some footage of an incident that took place at a LA bar last night!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

We can see DAMIAN PRIEST and BAD BUNNY hanging out at an after-party, having a few drinks with some girls and clearly having a fun time. We then see JAKE PAUL appear, prompting Damian Priest to ask why he is here… NOAM DAR SNEAKS UP BEHIND BAD BUNNY AND CLOCKS HIM WITH A CHAMPAGNE BOTTLE! Bunny falls down as LOGAN PAUL APPEARS AND SNEAK ATTACKS DAMIAN PRIEST, LAYING IN SEVERAL PUNCHES BEFORE THE BOUNCES APPEAR TO BREAK IT UP!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

We cut back to the commentary team who talks about what we have just seen and says Logan Paul plus Noam Dar had to spend a night in a cell after that stunt they pulled. Damian Priest was also given the night off ahead of tomorrow's tag team match.

*BEL CANTO*

AIDEN ENGLISH makes his way out getting boos from the live crowd. Byron Saxton says Aiden English might be a lamb to the slaughter tonight on behalf of the rest of the Church of Seth Rollins. Corey Graves says Seth will have prepared Aiden English for this match, and he will be able to hold his own!

*ROOT OF ALL EVIL*

ALEISTER BLACK slowly rises from the depths of the arena but as soon as he reaches the top of the entrance ramp, he powers walks to the ring heading straight for Aiden. Byron Saxton says Aiden shows have said his final prayers whilst Corey says he will have to his god Seth Rollins as the referee calls for the bell to get the match underway!

Match 3: Aleister Black vs Aiden English

Match summary: Aiden English runs at Black… BLACK MASS! English drops to the mat as Aleister grabs hold of him and locks in the DRAGON SLAYER… INSTANT TAP OUT FROM AIDEN ENGLISH!

Winner via submission: Aleister Black (0:27)

Aleister Black doesn’t even let go of the hold right away, wrenching back and doing as much damage as he can to Aiden English here! The crowd loudly cheers as the referee tells him to stop, but Black instead drags Aiden up and HITS HIM WITH A WICKED BLACK MASS! English falls to the mat, not moving before Aleister Black demands a microphone. He returns to the middle of the ring and sits cross-legged in the middle of the ring looking at the crowd whilst Aiden is laid out cold next to him.

Black says the man next to him was sent as a sacrifice, but it won’t stop him. Aleister wants the head of the snake and he will destroy Seth Rollins, burning his Church to the ground, leaving the ashes to scatter in the wind. Black says Rollins wants to invoke God’s name? Well, now he has invoked Hell’s wrath and he will fade… fade to black. He tosses the microphone down as Aiden is struggling on the mat… BLACK LIFTS HIM UP WITH HIS BOOT AND HITS ANOTHER BLACK MASS! Black stands over the out-cold Aiden English as we cut backstage to see…

---------------------------------------------------------------------

SETH ROLLINS LOOKING AT THE TV WITH AN EVIL SMIRK! He chuckles to himself as he is soon joined by a confused KAYLA BRAXTON! She asks the leader of the Church of Seth Rollins if he is at all concerned about what Black will do to him tonight. Seth shakes his head in response, saying he will show Black the light and show what happens when you mess with God. Kayla asks if he is concerned about Aiden English after what happened, but Rollins says it is all part of the plan, ending the promo as SmackDown goes on a commercial break.

*SHAKE SHAKE*

TAYNARA CONTI makes her way out, getting loud cheers from the crowd as SmackDown enters its 2nd hour. She looks fired up and slaps hands with some of the live crowd with a smile on her face. Byron Saxton says Conti is 1 night away from the biggest match of her career and the chance to become WWE Women’s Champion for the first time ever. Corey Graves says she faces not only a tough challenge tomorrow night, but right now she is facing an opponent of Asuka’s choice to prove herself. Conti waits in the ring until…

*TOKYO SHOCK*

IO SHIRAI walks out, getting a huge pop from the live crowd! She walks to the ring as Conti nods, knowing she has a tough challenge ahead as she takes on a former NXT Women’s Champion. Byron Saxton says Asuka and Io have never been friends from their time in Japan, but she knows how good Io Shirai is. Corey Graves says a win tonight for Io could easily give her a claim to WWE Women’s title shot post-WrestleMania, whether she wins the Sensational Sherri Battle Royal on Sunday or not! Io stands in the ring across from Conti as the referee calls for the bell to get the match underway!

Match 4: Taynara Conti vs Io Shirai

Match summary: Conti tries to show up Io with a bunch of strikes, but Io is too quick for her and controls the match, showing up the Brazilian Badass early. Io even mocks Conti in the ring, further angering her, which leads to mistakes from Taynara. The commentary team mentions Io is also one night removed from taking part in a ladder match at NXT Takeover: Stand and Deliver, wondering if the damage from the match could affect her performance against Conti tonight.

Io shows no sign of it affecting her early on though, as her speed and agility are making it nearly impossible for Conti to keep up. Conti has to resort to using her judo skills and ground Io, working over her on the mat to turn the tide of the match. We cut backstage to see ASUKA is watching the match closely on a monitor with a serious look on her face and the WWE Women’s title on her shoulder. The submissions do damage, but Io fights through it, taking back control as the match goes towards the closing stages.

Io Shirai carries on her offense as Conti is on the backfoot and in danger of losing tonight, but she manages to catch Io out, locking her in the TAY-LOCK! Conti wrenches back on the hold as she tries to force Io to tap out… BUT SHE COUNTERS AND BREAKS OUT OF THE HOLD! Io takes a moment and knows she can’t waste any time heading to the top rope as she goes for OVER THE MOONSAULT… CONTI GETS HER KNEES UP AND ROLLS UP IO SHIRAI TO GET THE WIN!

Winner via pinfall: Taynara Conti (11:53)

Io kicks out at 3.1, but the smart counter from Conti gives her a victory over a former NXT Women’s Champion! The crowd cheers for Conti picking up a huge win ahead of WrestleMania 37, whilst Io Shirai looks annoyed having been caught out tonight. Byron Saxton says Taynara Conti fought through everything Io had and overcame to get the victory. Corey does argue she had to survive Io to win, but Byron says all Conti needs to do to become WWE Women’s Champion is get a 3 count on Asuka.

Taynara Conti gets up and walks towards the middle of the ring as Io Shirai looks at the mat, still angry with her loss tonight. Taynara sticks her hand out for Io, who takes a few seconds to look at it and SHAKES HANDS WITH HER! Io holds Conti’s hand in the air, getting cheers from the live crowd, but you can see how much it stings to have lost the match tonight. Io leaves the ring as Conti carries on celebrating the victory, but she is soon interrupted by…

*THE FUTURE (V2)*

ASUKA! The crowd loudly cheers for the WWE Women’s Champion as she has the title around her waist. She shares a look with Io Shirai before turning her attention towards Taynara Conti in the ring and sarcastically clapping the challenger. Conti points at Asuka and the WrestleMania sign with Asuka off-mic, telling Conti she is not ready as SmackDown goes on a commercial break.

When we return from the commercial break, we see CARMELLA sitting backstage in a hallway looking at a picture of her winning Money in the Bank a few years ago. She sighs and says she wants to take a few moments to wish Dana Brooke the best after her injury last week. Carmella says it is a dangerous business, and whilst it was not her intention, it can happen stepping in the ring. Carmella says she knows that more women could get hurt, but she plans on walking out of WrestleMania with the Money in the Bank for a 3rd time because Mella is Money.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

*FIGHT*

We cut back to the ring with The KO Show set in the ring and KEVIN OWENS makes his way out, getting loud cheers from the crowd. He has his traditional WrestleMania merch and walks to the ring with a slight smile. Byron Saxton says that in two nights we will see Kevin Owens, Buddy Murphy, Dominik Dijakovic and Matt Riddle enter the Money in the Bank ladder match. Corey says we were going to hear from all 4 men tonight but Riddle is partway to the hospital as we speak and wonders if he will even make it to WrestleMania.

Kevin Owens steps through the ropes and sits on his chair in the middle of the set. He welcomes the crowd to the KO show, saying it felt right to bring this back for the final SmackDown before WrestleMania! The crowd cheers, wanting to see the show as Kevin says he got 3 chairs for his guests tonight, but watching the rest of the show, he doesn’t think Matt will be coming out here tonight. He says the show carries on, however and he wants to introduce his first guest…

*SHADOW OF DOUBT*

BUDDY MURPHY! Buddy gets a mixed reaction from the live crowd but doesn’t do much to acknowledge it as he climbs into the ring and grabs a microphone from one of the chairs, sitting down on it. Kevin welcomes him to the show, and Buddy thanks him for inviting him. Kevin starts by asking Buddy about the recent issues within The O.C. and how he feels about being a part of the group. Buddy takes a moment to pause before saying as things stand, he doesn’t know what group he is a part of. Kevin asks him to elaborate when…

*DRIVER*

DOMINIK DIJAKOVIC MARCHES OUT! The crowd boos as the big man walks out in a leather jacket and sunglasses getting boos from the live crowd. Neither Kevin Owens nor Buddy Murphy looks happy at this interruption, as Kevin asks Dijakovic if he knows the rules. Dijakovic grabs a microphone and takes a seat with a look of confusion, asking what rules? Kevin looks shocked that Dijakovic is even asking before shouting the rules! You are supposed to wait for your name to be called; no one said your name!

The crowd loudly cheers as Dijakovic has a look of pure confusion and disgust before shaking his head, saying he is Ungovernable; he has no intention of following these rules. The crowd boos as Kevin shakes his head before saying well you can stay here but I will carry on with my question for Buddy. Murphy nods as Kevin asks about Daniel Bryan’s recent kind words about him. Murphy takes a moment to pause and says he has a lot of respect for Bryan, so he is unsure whether to accept his offer, as he is looking for the next step to make it to the top.

We hear a scoff from Dijakovic, which prompts a look from Murphy, asking what he has to say. Dijakovic says relying on help from other people is a mistake, one he has been learning slowly over the last year. Owens, Buddy and the crowd are all shocked by this answer, with Owens pointing out that he is part of the Ungovernables. Dijakovic shakes his head, saying he might be part of the group but nowadays he is handling his business alone. He tells them he doesn’t need help from Shinsuke and Zelina, he knows he is worthy of grabbing that briefcase, pointing at the briefcase hanging above them in the rafters.

Buddy shakes his head, making it clear he has seen how close he has come to beating the best, how close he has come to becoming a World Champion and he has no intention of letting the chance slip. Buddy and Dijakovic come face to face with one another, but Kevin says neither of them will be walking out of this Sunday with that briefcase. Owens says they can talk about wanting to be a World Champion for the first time, but he has held the gold and never held it since. He needs it back for his family more than… SHINSUKE NAKAMURA ATTACKS OWENS FROM BEHIND!

The crowd loudly boos as Shinsuke lays into Owens with a series of kicks as Dijakovic steps forward… AND PUSHES NAKAMURA AWAY, ASKING WHAT HE IS DOING! Shinsuke shouts something Japanese, but before Djiakovic can respond, BUDDY MURPHY HITS A HIGH KNEE TO SHINSUKE! He lays into him, getting cheers from the live crowd. Dijakovic is conflicted but grabs Buddy and is ready to toss him… BUDDY PUSHES DIAJKOVIC INTO OWENS WHO HITS A STUNNER! Djiakovic and Shinsuke are down in the ring as Owens and Murphy look at each other staring each other down as SmackDown goes to a commercial break.

When we return from the commercial break, NAOMI is sitting down backstage at the Bloodline table with the rest of the family gone. She says she married into this family through Jimmy, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have the same goals and ruthless edge they do. She says she failed to show it when she fought Asuka at the Royal Rumble, but tomorrow night, she can redeem herself, promising she will be walking out of WrestleMania with the briefcase. Naomi finishes off the promo, hinting she might not even wait too long to cash it in either.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

*I DISAGREE*

MILLIE MCKENZIE makes her way out, getting a decent pop from the live crowd. The young British superstar runs to the ring and slaps hands with some of the fans at ringside before stepping into the ring. Byron Saxton says Millie is very young, but she has the chance at an early age to make history as the youngest Money in the Bank winner ever. Corey Graves says her lack of experience may cost her tomorrow, especially stepping into the ring with…

*ATHENA*

EMBER MOON! The crowd loudly boos for the former Women’s Champion as she walks to the ring ready for this match. Byron Saxton says momentum is important going into tomorrow’s Money in the Bank ladder match. Corey Graves says Ember Moon walked out of WrestleMania 36 as WWE Women’s Champion, beating Asuka and maybe she might do it again tomorrow night after winning the briefcase! Ember steps into the ring across from Millie as the referee calls for the bell to get the match underway!

Match 5: Ember Moon vs Millie McKenzie

Match summary: Both women start the match by firing off on each other with a series of strikes. Not many women can hit as hard as Ember Moon, but Millie certainly gives it a go, happy to fire back with a bunch of strikes of her own. Millie also starts to go for a series of suplexes, tossing Ember Moon around, but the Fallen Goddess survives the storm and takes control of the mat after they fight to the outside with Ember sending her into the STEEL STEPS WITH A WICKED THUD!

Ember Moon pounces on the damage she has done to Millie outside the ring and keeps the pressure up on the 21st-century badass. Millie lives up to her name, staying alive in this match before fighting back, making Ember worry as Millie is trapping her in submissions and it looks like she might be about to pull off a huge upset tonight. Ember gets desperate and takes the turnbuckle pad off. The referee goes to fix the turnbuckle, but Ember behind his back RAKES THE EYES OF MILLIE AND ROLLS HER UP, PUTTING HER FEET ON THE ROPES TO STEAL THE WIN!

Winner via pinfall: Ember Moon (8:16)

Ember Moon gets her feet off the ropes in time for the referee to turn around and gets to her feet to celebrate the victory. Millie is furious on the mat and points at her eyes… SO EMBER CHEAP SHOTS HER! Boos ring out from the crowd as Ember looks to do more damage… BUT CHARLI EVANS RUNS OUT AND CHASES HER OUT OF THE RING! Byron Saxton says you can use cheap tricks like that tomorrow night, but everyone else will be allowed to do the same. Corey puts Ember over as the favourite to win the match as SmackDown goes on a commercial break.

When we return from the commercial break, we see KAYLA BRAXTON standing backstage ready for an interview as she introduces her guests at this time, ZACK RYDER and CURT HAWKINS! They thank her for the interview time, as she says she heard from Shawn Michaels that these two will be entering the Andre the Giant Battle Royal. Zack confirms that it is correct and says they have both had great moments at WrestleMania over the years, with this being a chance for them to credit their own WrestleMania moment once again!

Curt Hawkins even goes on to say that unlike Zack, he has never held singles gold in WWE, and tomorrow night, he can earn himself a United States title shot. Kayla then changes the subject to Edge and Rey taking on The Usos tomorrow as well. She asks how they think their friend will do, but before they can say a word, THE USOS SUPERKICK THE DUO! They have a smirk on their face and seem happy with their handiwork before sprinting away as EDGE and REY MYSTERIO APPEAR! Edge and Rey check on Ryder and Hawkins as we then cut back to the ring!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

*PHENOMENAL*

AJ STYLES makes his way out, getting a loud mixed reaction from the crowd. He seems to not be in the best mood as he walks to the ring, but he takes his time before climbing in between the ropes. Byron Saxton says this Sunday, we will see Finn Balor take on AJ Styles with the loser being kicked out of The O.C. Corey Graves says the issues between the co-leaders have reached a breaking point and it is time for one leader in the group! AJ asks for a microphone from someone at ringside before returning to the middle of the ring.

AJ says he tuned into last week’s SmackDown after it aired because he wanted to hear what Finn had to say. AJ says he was considering maybe offering an olive branch because they wanted this partnership to work, but it is clear now it was never ever going to work. The crowd reacts with cheers, agreeing with AJ as he carries on and tells us Finn can call him incompetent, but he could say the same about him. AJ brings up his failure to keep the US title, but before he can stay much more…

*I AM DANGER*

FINN BALOR STORMS OUT IN A LEATHER JACKET AND MICROPHONE IN HAND! He gets loud boos from the live crowd and points at AJ bringing up the fact that AJ has not held gold in well over a year so he is in no position to discuss anyone being a failure. Finn says AJ approached him to start the group because he had taken a step back… AJ CUTS HIM OFF AND SAYS FINN HAD DONE THE SAME! Finn is in the ring now and face to face with AJ, denying it, but AJ laughs in his face, telling him that they had both stuttered last year!

Finn doesn’t accept it, but AJ starts to list off all the losses in a row: Luke Harper, Daniel Bryan, Karrion Kross and The Fiend Bray Wyatt. Finn has a face of thunder as AJ asks if that was the one that truly broke him, but Finn doesn’t answer. AJ says that Finn stepped into the ring with The Fiend and then he was never the same man again, calling Finn a coward. Finn at that point, snaps and PUNCHES AJ IN THE FACE… SO AJ PUNCHES HIM BACK!

The two co-leaders are brawling in the middle of the ring as the crowd goes wild… with the fans then booing as THE GOOD BROTHERS RUN OUT TRYING TO STOP THE FIGHT! KARL ANDERSON and LUKE GALLOWS pull them apart, with one man taking one of the leaders, pulling them away from each other. Byron Saxton says The O.C. is fully imploding before our eyes tonight. Corey Graves says only one of them will be the leader after this Sunday, before we cut to the…

---------------------------------------------------------------------

BLOODLINE’S LOCKER ROOM! We can see The Bloodline table with JEY USO, JACOB FATU and TAMINA on one side whilst on the other side we can see JIMMY USO and NAOMI! The camera pans up to show ROMAN REIGNS at the head of the table with a slight smile on his face. He turns to Jacob Fatu and puts his hand on his shoulder saying his work tonight was a job well done, showing Matt Riddle the consequences of messing with The Bloodline!

Jacob tells Roman he loves him, bringing a bigger smile to the chief’s face as he looks at Naomi, saying tomorrow night, she can bring the briefcase back to the Bloodline and make sure she is next in line to become WWE Women’s Champion. Naomi nods, saying she doesn’t plan to let Roman down before Roman rises to his feet. He says it is time for him to lead by example and to take out another member of Alpha Academy, leaving the room as the commentary team tells us the main event is up next!

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
---------------------------------------------------------------------

When we return from the commercial break, we cut to the commentary team, who gives us a medical update on a couple of superstars. They first of all confirm that Aiden English, after the beating given to him by Aleister Black, will be out of the Andre the Giant Battle Royal. They also confirm they have received word from Kurt Angle, who is at the hospital with Matt Riddle and he is out of Sunday’s Money in the Bank ladder match. They advise we will hear an update later tonight/tomorrow on what will happen regarding the 8th spot in the match, so stay tuned to social media!

*LEADING THE WAY*

DANIEL GARCIA makes his way out to the ring, getting a decent pop from the live crowd with his towel around his neck, looking fired up ahead of tonight’s main event with a point to prove, it seems. Byron Saxton says Daniel Bryan scouted Garcia himself and sees him as a future champion, but Corey Graves says the young man is stepping into the lion’s den as he takes on…

*HEAD OF THE TABLE*

ROMAN REIGNS! The boos are at a nuclear level of heat as Roman slowly walks out and lifts the Universal title slowly over his head before heading to the ring with a purpose. Corey Graves says Roman has only just gotten back to the top of SmackDown and he intends to stay on top. Byron Saxton quips heavy is the head that wears the crown, wondering how big it would be for Garcia’s career tonight if he pulls off a huge upset. Roman stands in the ring across from Garcia, smirking as the referee calls for the bell and our main event is underway!

Main event: Roman Reigns vs Daniel Garcia

Match summary: Roman is cocky at the start of the match and doesn’t take Daniel seriously which nearly catches him out as Garcia shows his submission expertise working over Roman, targeting the right arm looking to set up for an armbar! Roman overpowers him and soon realizes that this will not be a walk in the park, so he dominates the match using his size advantage to overpower and overwhelm Garcia as the match goes on, with the crowd slowly getting behind Garcia.

Roman gets frustrated that this isn’t an easy night and looks to end it with a SPEAR… BUT GARCIA AVOIDS IT CAUSING ROMAN TO CRASH INTO THE RING POST! Roman winces in pain, holding his shoulder as GARCIA GOES FOR A SLEEPER HOLD! Garcia looks to choke Roman out and the Universal Champion knows he is in trouble, SO HE SLAMS GARCIA BACK FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES UNTIL HE LETS GO OF THE HOLD!

Roman struggles on the mat, but Garcia catches the right arm of Roman and locks him in an ARMBAR! Garcia is giving it everything here to cause an upset the night before WrestleMania! Roman is in a ton of pain, but with everything he has, he powers up Garcia and HITS A ONE-ARMED POWERBOMB! Roman stumbles back and leans in the corner… HITTING A SPEAR AS GARCIA RISES TO HIS FEET! Roman could make the cover, but instead scoops up Garcia and LOCKS IN THE GUILLOTINE CHOKE! He squeezes the life out of Garcia, who taps out!

Winner via submission: Roman Reigns (8:40)

Roman picks up the win but has no intention of letting go of the hold, squeezing the neck of Garcia and trying to injure him…

*FLIGHT OF THE VALKYRIES*

DANIEL BRYAN SPRINTS OUT! He heads straight for the ring and catches Roman with the BUSAIKU KNEE! Roman falls to the mat as Daniel Garcia rolls to the side, coughing and spluttering. Bryan checks on him before looking at Roman, ready to attack him again… BUT THE UNIVERSAL CHAMPION ROLLS OUT OF THE RING! The crowd loudly boos Roman Reigns retreating from Daniel Bryan as the Royal Rumble winner asks someone at ringside for the microphone!

Daniel Bryan points at Roman Reigns and tells Roman that his Bloodline can try to break him and his friends, they can try to end his career, but Bryan has no intention of going quietly into the night! The crowd loudly cheers as Bryan points to the fans, saying that their love for him is a dagger in the heart of Roman and he better cling to the Universal title tightly for the next two nights because at WrestleMania, he takes that title away from Roman! Byran slams the microphone down as SmackDown ends with the fans chanting left whilst Roman scowls at the top of the entrance ramp!

- Matt Riddle will get replaced in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match but by whom? That is the million dollar question now isn't it? That just goes to show you just how dominant Jacob Fatu is after he destroyed Riddle. Didn't just beat him. Destroyed him. That is why they had the match stoppage which just puts Jacob over as a monster heel. The Bloodline's Enforcer their muscle and he has the chance to become WWE United States Champion tomorrow night at WrestleMania 37 on Night 1. He's scary but just so awesome.

- I actually thought that Vanessa Hudgens would make the save for Bianca Belair but she can't. She isn't a wrestler. She's an actress a celebrity. If she even tried, The House of Couture would have destroyed her. But they left Bianca laying again.

- Aleister Black destroyed Aiden English in dominant fashion. Message sent to Seth Freakin Rollins before their match at WrestleMania 37 inside Satan's structure inside Hell In A Cell.

- I mean who does The Cell favor more? Black he's never been inside Hell In A Cell. Rollins has by facing Dean Ambrose, Kevin Owens and the late Bray Wyatt. My point being Rollins knows all about Hell. But with Black, he seems to like it in Hell. He is all about the darkness. For me he reminds me a lot of The Undertaker and that's what or who Black has become in this diary. The supernatural conscience of the WWE. Hell In a Cell was Taker's match. Who knows perhaps Hell In A Cell can be that for Aleister Black.

- The WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos with a direct message to Edge & Rey Mysterio by going after Hawkins & Ryder, Edge's friends.

- Tay Conti beats the WWE Women's Champion Asuka's choice in a Pick Your Poison Match by beating Io Shirai...who knows Tay Conti could very well become WWE Women's Champion tomorrow night on Night 1 of WrestleMania 37

- But imagine if Naomi wins the WWE Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match? Think about how much more powerful The Bloodline becomes...they will have all the gold. All the power.

- Finn and AJ with their war of words but the funny thing is they were both absolutely right about each other. Then they come to blows and have to be broken up by Gallows & Anderson. Where were Big Cass & Murphy while this is going down? Because all of them could be a deciding factor in the match and they can decide ultimately which leader they side with whilst turning on the other one and kicking him out of the group.

- But there are other women in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match like Ember Moon, Millie McKenzie and Carmella plus the women on the RAW side to stop Naomi like her own cousin in law Nia Jax, Liv Morgan, Ruby Riott and Piper Niven

- Dijakovic with his actions it is at least clear to me that he is leaving The Ungovernables. I mean his actions show just that by saying he doesn't need nor want their help. He is striking out on his own. Stops Nakamura from beating down Owens. Dijakovic might be turning babyface soon enough. The seeds are being planted pretty much.

- Tribal Chief Roman Reigns the WWE Universal Champion beats Alpha Academy member Daniel Garcia in the main event...but that was to be expected but then seeing Bryan make the save for Garcia just as Roman is about to beat up on Garcia some more...again also expected

As far as who replaces Riddle in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match I can see it being Riddle's own stable mate Daniel Garcia so Garcia can get his first WrestleMania appearance or I can see it being an NXT superstar getting a main roster call up right at WrestleMania but who? I can see it being Keith Lee or Adam Cole BAY BAY even

As far as who replaces Aiden English in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal I can see it being an NXT guy

WrestleMania 37 Night 1 Recap:

WWE Title match:
Samoa Joe © vs Big E

Back at WrestleMania 36, Big E beat 7 other men to win the Money in the Bank ladder match in arguably the biggest moment of his career. Big E would confirm the Smackdown after WrestleMania that he wasn’t going to cash his briefcase in the same way other people did, waiting for the champion to be weakened and taking advantage. Big E promised he would save it for WrestleMania 37 and fight whoever was the WWE Champion on the biggest stage of all for his own KofiMania moment.

Samoa Joe meanwhile at WrestleMania 36 was taking care of some business, defeating Sheamus in a singles match having come off recently losing his United States title to Chad Gable. Joe would try to defeat Aleister Black for the Universal title but would fall short and leave Joe wondering what he needed to do to make it to the top where he feels he belongs. At this point MVP would appear to Joe looking to offer his services, referencing their alliances in other companies.

Joe would take some time to think about it but in the end, he would say yes to the offer from MVP with Joe going after Brock Lesnar and costing him a number one contender’s match with Andrade. This led to Samoa Joe fighting Brock Lesnar at Summerslam where Joe convincingly defeated the Beast. Meanwhile elsewhere on the show, Big E teamed with Xavier Woods (with Kofi Kingston out with an injury) to defeat The Ungovernables Cesaro and Ilja Dragunov to become World tag team champions.

Samoa Joe would carry on his tear, defeating John Cena at the next show whilst on Raw we would see The New Day lose their World tag team titles to The Hurt Business (Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander). Big E and Samoa Joe would both enter the King of the Ring meeting in the final but we would see Samoa Joe win out, earning a WWE title match with Drew McIntyre at Survivor Series which he would go on to win whilst Big E lost a Survivor Series match as captain to the rest of The Hurt Business with Swerve Strickland the sole survivor.

Big E would struggle a bit with his confidence before being confronted by Goldberg, leading to a clash between the two which Big E would win. Samoa Joe would go on to defend his WWE title against Drew McIntyre, Sami Zayn and Kofi Kingston in the lead-up to WrestleMania. Big E would come close to winning the rumble but again was halted by Swerve before defeating Bobby Lashley at Fastlane. In the months leading up to WrestleMania, The New Day and The Hurt Business have had plenty of words to say to one another.

Samoa Joe has been very pointed in his barbs towards Mr. Money in the Bank Big E, saying he is too reliant on his friends in the New Day. Big E says his friends have supported him and without them, he would not still be here. Both men have been in the form of their careers since WrestleMania 37 but something has to give in the main event of Night 1. Will Samoa Joe’s dominance as WWE Champion carry on or will Big E get his own KofiMania moment?

WWE Women’s title match:
Asuka © vs Taynara Conti

Asuka has been one of the most dominant forces the WWE has ever seen period. Very few women have managed to beat the Empress in her WWE career so far: Charlotte, Carmella, Becky Lynch, Ember Moon and Shayna Baszler. Every single one of them is a former Women’s Champion which just goes to show the size of the task facing Conti at WrestleMania as she tries to do what no one expects: be ready for Asuka! Conti has already tried to beat the Empress once, facing her at the Royal Rumble.

Conti gave a good account of herself and pushed Asuka to the limit but as is the normal case with Asuka, it wasn’t enough to bring her down. Conti would regroup as she entered the Elimination Chamber taking on Sasha Banks, Bayley, Ember Moon, Bianca Belair and Xia Li causing another upset to earn this title match. Conti shocked the world last year when she beat Sasha Banks and also recently when she beat Io Shirai, can she do it again on the biggest stage of them all and become WWE Women’s Champion?

Intercontinental title match:
Swerve Strickland © vs Kofi Kingston

Kofi Kingston inspired many people when he won the WWE title at WrestleMania 35. One of the people who has said in interviews that he was inspired by Kofi’s win is Swerve Strickland. At the time Swerve was making a name for himself on the independent scene and proving to be one of the hottest free agents in the business. He spent 2019 and 2020 showing signs of what he could do on NXT before being scouted by MVP who brought him to Raw to join the Hurt Business!

Swerve Strickland made an instant impact picking up a win on Lio Rush and Swerve would carry on his form picking up wins over the likes of Samoa Joe. Kofi meanwhile would come off a loss to Karrion Kross at WrestleMania 36 and would soon pick up an injury taking him out of action for 5 months. Swerve in this period would start a rise towards the top, only eating on loss at King of the Ring to WWE Champion at the time Drew McIntyre. Kofi would return at Survivor Series teaming with Team New Day but Swerve would walk out of the match as the sole survivor.

Swerve Strickland would use becoming the sole survivor to get himself a shot at the Intercontinental title, defeating Sami Zayn to become champion at Starrcade. Swerve would go on to impress in the Royal Rumble making it to the final 3 of the match and defeating anyone who tried to take the Intercontinental title from. Swerve however ever since winning the title seemed to develop even more of an ego as he felt untouchable, something that rubbed The New Day the wrong way.

The New Day and The Hurt Business would collide in a huge 12-man tag team match on Raw in the build-up to WrestleMania 37 with Kofi Kingston catching Swerve out and pinning the Intercontinental Champion! Swerve would then accept the challenge from the veteran, promising to use the inspiration he gained from KofiMania to surpass Kofi and his legacy. Will Kofi be able to become a 5-time Intercontinental Champion or will Swerve be true to his word and start surpassing Kofi’s legacy tonight?

WWE tag team titles match:
The Usos © vs Edge and Rey Mysterio

The Usos have a very strong claim to being one of the greatest tag teams in WWE history. They have had success in the tag team division in the modern era pretty much only matched by the New Day and The Bar over the last few years, with The Usos now being 8-time tag team champions having won the WWE tag team titles from Heavy Machinery at Roadblock. But on the way to winning back tag team gold, they had made enemies in two veterans: Edge and Rey Mysterio!

Edge would lose in his match against Roman Reigns thanks to The Bloodline interfering (including Jacob Fatu) whilst Rey Mysterio would have his son Dominik Mysterio taken out by the current tag team champions. Edge and Rey would team up to see off former tag team champions Shinsuke Nakamura and Dominik Dijakovic before turning their attention toward the Usos. Will the experience of being in several tag teams benefit the veterans or will The Usos experience together prove to be the difference maker?

Cruiserweight title match:
Lio Rush © vs Xavier Woods

Xavier Woods has always been seen as the weak link in the New Day over the years. A lot of fans see him as someone who didn’t have what it takes to be a singles champion in WWE. Woods would start to listen to those words whilst his teammates would tell him to ignore them. Lio Rush meanwhile started 2020 last year focused on being a manager and trying to get the All-Mighty Bobby Lashley back on side. He even tried to win the Cruiserweight title from Mustafa Ali at the Royal Rumble but fell short.

MVP would return to the WWE in the 2020 Royal Rumble and see potential in Lio Rush that evening taking him under his wing. There were some issues between the two but Lio would soon come to respect MVP and his advice to join The Hurt Business as they slowly started to take shape. Xavier Woods meanwhile would have a crisis of confidence, brought on by MVP’s comments towards him and whilst he would win the World tag team titles with Big E, they would soon lose them to The Hurt Business members Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander!

The New Day versus Hurt Business feud would carry on with team Hurt Business defeating team New Day at Survivor Series. Lio Rush though would have the biggest night of his career the night after Survivor Series, answering an open challenge from Mustafa Ali and becoming Cruiserweight Champion! Lio Rush would regularly defend the title taking on the likes of Tyler Breeze, Tyler Bate and Mustafa Ali keeping the title around his waist as we head into WrestleMania.

Xavier Woods meanwhile would pick up wins against the likes of Oney Lorcan and former World Champion Dolph Ziggler on Raw before a number one contender’s gauntlet match was made two weeks from WrestleMania 37. Xavier Woods would enter halfway through the match and win the whole thing to earn his shot at WrestleMania. Lio Rush would remain confident and talk trash but a few words from Bobby Lashley in the lead-up to the match would have Lio questioning things. Will Rush hold onto his title or will Woods prove he is worthy of being a singles champion?

Hell in a Cell match:
Aleister Black vs Seth Rollins

Two men who have been at war for over 9 months collide inside hell at WrestleMania. Seth Rollins after losing to Edge at WrestleMania 36 in a street fight would slowly sink further and further into madness, starting up his own church in his image, becoming a true threat to everyone in the WWE. Aleister Black meanwhile walked out of WrestleMania 36 as Universal Champion for the first time having defeated Brock Lesnar and Andrade Cien Almas, eliminating both men in a three-way dance.

Seth Rollins and his church would be drafted to Smackdown Live after The Queen of the Ring, setting his sights directly on the Universal title. He would cheat to win inside the Elimination Chamber to earn his title shot at Summerslam which would lead to Edge qualifying for Summerslam as well. Aleister Black would welcome both challengers, confident in his ability to beat both of them and this would backfire on him when Karrion Kross at the behest of Seth Rollins threw a fireball in his face!

Seth Rollins however would not walk out of Summerslam as Edge would pick up the win, pouncing on the fireball attack and win his 13th world title. Seth wouldn’t let sleeping dogs lie and would fight Edge in Hell in a Cell at No Mercy taking the Universal title from him. Seth would stay on top of Smackdown in Black’s absence, proclaiming himself to be a God until at King of the Ring after Seth defeated Rey Mysterio, Aleister Black made his return vowing to destroy Seth Rollins and Karrion Kross.

Aleister Black would defeat Karrion Kross in the lead-up to Survivor Series before fighting Seth Rollins in a street fight at the event. Black would defeat Seth Rollins and give him a taste of his own medicine putting him through a flaming table. Aleister Black would go on to defend his Universal title against several challengers defeating AJ Styles, Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens and Buddy Murphy up to and including the Royal Rumble. Seth Rollins meanwhile would return in the Rumble coming 2nd to Daniel Bryan.

It would then be confirmed at Roadblock that Aleister Black would defend his Universal title inside of the Elimination Chamber. Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, AJ Styles and Finn Balor would be the 5 other men to step inside the structure. It would come down to the final 3 of Black, Roman and Rollins but after Aleister Black eliminated Seth Rollins from the match, Seth would stay in the chamber and hit a curb stomp on Black to cost him the Universal title!

Aleister Black would not take kindly to what Seth Rollins did and immediately went on the rampage the Smackdown after Roadblock taking out 4 men at once! Black would make it clear he wanted one thing now at WrestleMania 37: to take Seth Rollins to hell! Seth would have a smug look on his face before accepting Aleister Black’s challenge to fight inside the cell. Seth has experience inside Satan’s structure whilst this will be Aleister Black’s first time, who will leave hell the victor?

Grudge match:
Beth Phoenix vs Natalya

Beth Phoenix came back to the WWE at WrestleMania 35 teaming with her best friend Natalya as the Divas of Doom looked to turn back the clock and become tag team champions. The two women feel short on several occasions with Beth and Natalya even pushing then Women’s Universal Champion Becky Lynch to the limit. Coming out of WrestleMania 36, Beth would talk to Natalya about hanging her boots up and 2020 being the last year of her career, something Natalya tried to get her to change her mind on.

Beth was insistent and The Divas of Doom had their eyes fixed on winning tag team gold until Becky Lynch vacated her Women’s Universal title due to her pregnancy and it became the prize at stake in the Queen of the Ring tournament. Beth Phoenix would turn back the years, running through the field before beating Charlotte Flair to become the first-ever Queen of the Ring and also the Women’s Universal Champion. The glory wouldn’t last long however as two nights later Shayna Baszler would cash in her money in the bank briefcase to win the title on Monday Night Raw!

Shayna and the rest of the MMA Horsewomen at the time (Ronda Rousey, Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke) would beat down the Divas of Doom and Nia Jax (who was fighting Beth for the Women’s Universal title in Raw’s main event writing Beth off TV for several weeks. Natalya would challenge for the Women’s Universal title at Armageddon but lost out to Shayna Baszler, with Beth Phoenix making her return after the bell to make the save for her friend.

Beth and Shayna in the lead-up to Summerslam would trade words as Shayna Baszler would tell Beth that she would accept a challenge from her if Beth put her career on the line. Natalya tried to talk Beth out of it but her tag team partner accepted the challenge promising to get revenge on Shayna Baszler for what she took from her. Natalya would try to talk Beth out of it and challenge for the tag team titles instead but Beth said she would after she beat Shayna… so Natalya cost Beth the match at Summerslam ending Beth’s career!

Natalya would the night after Summerslam confirm the reasons why she did it: calling Beth selfish and focused only on her goals instead of the tag team titles. The crowd would rip into her but Natalya would get what she wanted by joining the MMA Horsewomen with them giving her the tag team titles through the Freebird rule. Natalya and the MMA Horsewomen would carry on as normal until Beth Phoenix would return in the Royal Rumble out for revenge, eliminating Natalya from the match!

Beth Phoenix would make it clear she was only back for one reason and one reason only: to get revenge on Natalya. The Queen of Harts would refuse to face Beth ducking her for weeks but Beth would be relentless, costing Natalya matches including a Money in the Bank qualifier against Liv Morgan. Natalya would finally have enough and accept the challenge promising to retire Beth for good! Will Natalya stick to her words or will Beth Phoenix get her revenge?

Grudge match:
Drew McIntyre vs Tommaso Ciampa

Drew McIntyre walked into last year’s WrestleMania and defeated Roman Reigns after winning the Royal Rumble to become WWE Champion. Drew would have a lengthy reign beating Buddy Murphy, Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens, Sheamus, Andrade Cien Almas, Cesaro and Swerve Strickland whilst champion. He finally hit a brick wall when Samoa Joe appeared to take the WWE title from him at Survivor Series. Drew would try to win the title back and try to win the Royal Rumble again but he fell just short.

Tommaso Ciampa in contrast had been a superstar on the rise, joining Monday Night Raw after losing a loser leaves town match to Johnny Gargano. Ciampa would not take the loss well and after payment from John Morrison, would target The Miz looking to take the former WWE Champion out. Ciampa would soon rise up the ranks after this attack, making a name for himself as a killer and was seen as a dark horse going into the 2021 Royal Rumble until Drew McIntyre eliminated him from the match.

Tommaso Ciampa would react badly to this and would attack Drew McIntyre backstage, writing him off TV for several weeks. At Fastlane, Ciampa would collide with a recently returned from injury Pete Dunne (who Ciampa had injured). Dunne would give a good account of himself but Tommaso Ciampa would pick up the victory. However, he was not happy with just a victory and looked to finish the job… but Drew McIntyre made his return chasing off Ciampa.

Drew McIntyre would make it clear he wanted to fight Ciampa as soon as possible but Ciampa made it clear he wanted the payday and was going to wait for WrestleMania to make sure he could make the most money for his family. Ciampa would even go behind Raw commissioner Wade Barrett’s back and make sure contact from Drew McIntyre was banned. Ciampa would further stick the knife in beating Sheamus in a bar room brawl on Raw. Will Drew make Ciampa suffer for his attacks or will Ciampa pick up another huge win over a WrestleMania main eventer?

Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match:
Nia Jax vs Carmella vs Liv Morgan vs Ember Moon vs Ruby Riott vs Millie McKenzie vs Piper Niven vs Naomi

The Women’s Money in the Bank once again returns to WrestleMania for the 2nd year in a row. Each woman who has won the briefcase has gone on to become champion by cashing in: Carmella, Alexa Bliss, Sasha Banks and Shayna Baszler. Let’s have a look at the 8 women entering the match:

Carmella: Carmella is the only woman to have won the Money in the Bank briefcase twice and she will be looking to relive those glory days at WrestleMania 37. Qualifying for the match by defeating Franky Money on the Roadblock pre-show, Carmella knows how to win the match and will be looking to be the first-ever person to win three times male or female.

Ember Moon: Ember Moon at last year’s WrestleMania defeated Asuka to become WWE Women’s Champion for the first time in her career and finally secure a victory over the Empress. Ember would go on to beat Bianca Belair, Charlotte Flair, Bayley and Sasha Banks as champion before losing to Bayley at Summerslam. Ember would go on a little bit of a descent after losing again to Bayley in a rubber match on Smackdown, entering a feud with Bianca Belair.

Ember would get angrier and angrier as she kept losing to Bianca Belair including a Survivor Series tag with both as captains as Belair came back from 3-1 down to beat Ember Moon, Taynara Conti and Xia Li. Ember would take out her anger on Conti but would find herself unable to get back into the title picture, being pinned by Conti in the Elimination Chamber final 2 at Roadblock. Ember defeated Sonya Deville to qualify for this match. Ember has made her intentions clear if she wins, will Asuka and Conti both have another woman to worry about on Night 2?

Liv Morgan: Liv Morgan had a rough 2020 missing a lot of time through injury but she made her return during the 2021 Royal Rumble, eliminating Ruby Riott. Shockingly her former teammate was not bitter about it and has tried to make peace with Ruby over the last couple of months. Liv meanwhile would defeat Natalya on Raw to qualify for this match. Liv Morgan is looking to make 2021 her year, will she leave the rest of the field crying about it?

Millie McKenize: Millie ever since being brought to Smackdown post-draft has been teaming with her close friend Charli Evans as part of the Medusa Complex. Both women have had good showings but Millie would earn the spot in the biggest match of her career defeating Billie Kay. Millie would be the youngest person to ever hold the Money in the Bank. Will she prove to truly be the 21st-century badass and become the future of the Women’s division?

Naomi: When Naomi came back just before WrestleMania 36 last year, she had a whole new outlook on her career and aligned herself with Roman Reigns. This would lead to the Usos slowly joining The Bloodline as the family looked to take over Smackdown. Naomi would chase gold throughout the year but each attempt to get her hands on gold would fall short including a WWE Women’s title match with Asuka at Roadblock. Naomi defeated old rival Mandy Rose to earn her spot in this match, will Naomi help bring even more gold to the family?

Nia Jax: Nia Jax made her return in last year’s Sensational Sherri Battle Royal after a year out with injury, winning the match. She would claim she was screwed out of her rightful title match after Becky took some time off for her pregnancy but Nia would lose to Beth Phoenix and Shayna Baszler in Women’s Universal title matches. Nia would qualify for this match beating Kayden Carter, an imposing force in the match. Can anyone stop Nia from climbing to the top?

Piper Niven: Piper would have an impressive run in the Queen of the Ring tournament making it to the quarter-finals, beating Billie Kay and Naomi before losing to Beth Phoenix. The impressive performance whilst a member of the NXT UK roster would earn her a spot on Raw in the draft and she would build off this to become one of the toughest women on Raw. She hasn’t quite been able to get her hands on the Women’s Universal title but she earned her spot in this match beating Shotzi Blackheart on Raw. Will Piper breakthrough like she has promised to do several times?

Ruby Riott: Ruby Riott went into 2020 determined to finally hold gold in WWE but she would find one stumbling block after another through the year. After coming up short in trying to win the WWE Women’s title, she would bring Shotzi Blackheart to Raw and form a tag team with the former NXT superstar. Nothing was working in Ruby’s attempt to win gold and she would soon be confronted by demons of the path when Liv Morgan returned to eliminate her from the Royal Rumble.

Ruby Riott though would react to this surprisingly well and look to make amends with Liv Morgan going into the Iron Survivor match for the vacant Women’s Universal title at Fastlane. Ruby would come close to winning the vacant title as would Liv Morgan, Tegan Nox and Nia Jax but Shayna walked out with the title. Ruby would still try to make up with Liv Morgan but she was very wary of her. Ruby meanwhile would beat Melina and earn her spot in this match. Will Ruby get the briefcase and finally get her ticket to gold in WWE?

Tag team match:
Bad Bunny and Damian Priest vs Logan Paul and Noam Dar

Bad Bunny is a global megastar and is currently the number-one superstar on Spotify worldwide as we speak. So, when the superstar said he was going to perform at the 2021 Royal Rumble, the WWE Universe was delighted. However, one man was not: Noam Dar. The cocky Scottish Supernova would make a point to target Bad Bunny and attack him after his performance with the help of his friend Kenny Williams. Bad Bunny would be furious and approach Wade Barrett and Shawn Michaels asking for a favor with one spot in the rumble match unassigned.

They would agree, leading to Damian Priest getting the chance on Bad Bunny’s behalf to enter the Royal Rumble. Priest would go right for Noam Dar, tossing him out of the Rumble before having a good showing and impressing Shawn Michaels enough to be signed to Smackdown Live! Priest would enter into a feud with Noam Dar and Kenny Williams who would try to antagonize the newest star from NXT leading to a match at Roadblock. Damian Priest was smart enough to lay out Kenny Williams before the bell but Noam Dar would get help from YouTube star Logan Paul!

Noam Dar and Logan Paul would cut a promo on Smackdown gloating over what they did to Damian Priest but the former North American Champion would not take it lightly, promising payback and issuing a challenge for a tag team match at WrestleMania with Bad Bunny by his side! Logan Paul and Noam Dar would jump Damian Priest and Bad Bunny at an after-party. Will the duo's cheap tricks keep working or will they very soon find their luck running out?

I already made my predictions for Night 1 of WrestleMania 37 only but not for Night 2 but I will make those soon enough but Night 1 is already looking good

Dubb · Jun 4, 2025

Night 1 predictions.

WWE Title Match: Samoa Joe (c) vs. Big E
This is tailor-made for Big E's crowning moment. Joe has had a dominant reign but this is the emotional payoff. Big E gets his WM moment.

WWE Women’s Title Match: Asuka (c) vs. Taynara Conti
Conti has had a good build as an underdog but I don't think she's going to be the one to take the title from Asuka.

Intercontinental Title Match: Swerve Strickland (c) vs. Kofi Kingston
Kofi has the momentum heading into WM after the pin on Raw so that for one gives me the wrestling logic explaination that Swerve wins here. Think this will be a passing of the torch moment for Swerve, even though he's the reigning champ... if that makes any sense at all, lol.

WWE Tag Team Titles Match: The Usos (c) vs. Edge & Rey Mysterio
Should be a fun match but going with the champs here over the nostalgia pairing.

Cruiserweight Title Match: Lio Rush (c) vs. Xavier Woods
Woods is being positioned for a “prove-the-doubters-wrong” redemption arc, and WrestleMania is the perfect place for that moment. Lio Rush’s rising self-doubt (plus recent tension with MVP and Lashley) might play into his downfall.

Hell in a Cell: Aleister Black vs. Seth Rollins
his has “final boss” vibes for Aleister Black, especially with the long-term story of Rollins repeatedly costing him and manipulating the system. Black needs to win this blood feud decisively to reestablish himself as a future title contender after the Elimination Chamber screwjob. Should be brutal either way!

Grudge Match: Beth Phoenix vs. Natalya
Natalya’s heel turn and betrayal set the stage for Beth’s comeback to end Natalya’s run and settle the score once and for all. Beth’s story arc is built around closure and legacy, so I expect her to come out on top here and cement her final chapter on a high note.

Grudge Match: Drew McIntyre vs. Tommaso Ciampa
Could see it being a big win for Ciampa but I think ultimately it's going to be Drew re-establishing himself as one of the top stars in WWE.

Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match - Ember Moon
Bit of a toss up here really.

Tag Team Match: Bad Bunny & Damian Priest vs. Logan Paul & Noam Dar.
Because fuck Logan Paul. Also the faces usually walk away in these special attraction matches and Priest has the higher ceiling overall.

Andre Battle Royal
*throws a dart and it hits...* Ricochet

Predict the longest match on the show: (2 points) Hmmm... lets go with... Joe/Big E
Predict the shortest match on the show: (2 points) Let's go with Priest/Bunny vs. Paul/Dar
Who will score the winning fall in the tag matches and on who: (1 point for each right name) Priest over Darr, Jey over Rey
And lastly: Who is the mystery entrant in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal (2 points for the correct answer) Keith Lee.

Roy Mustang · Jun 19, 2025

WrestleMania 37 night 1 pre-show:
Arlington, Texas
March 27th 2021
AT&T Stadium

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The first segment on the pre-show we focus on is THE NEW DAY sitting backstage in their locker room. BIG E, KOFI KINGSTON and XAVIER WOODS look deep in thought ahead of the biggest night of their careers as a group. The silence sits for about 30 seconds before Kofi breaks the silence saying tonight is the night. Big E looks up with a nod and a slight smile on his face. Woods takes a big sigh and says it is but they are ready for it, with a slight smile on his face.

He gets to his feet and says thanks to his brothers he is feeling ready for tonight. Thanks to them he knows he can and will beat Lio Rush tonight. Kofi gets up to his feet saying he knows that Swerve Strickland is a future star but right now, he is still Kofi Kingston and he knows something about winning at WrestleMania. He looks at Big E with a nod as he says tonight is not his night, it’s their night and they will show the world New Day rocks as the group shares a hug ending the segment.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

We then cut to the backstage area, where we can see CATHY KELLEY standing ready for an interview. She welcomes her guests at this time: BAD BUNNY and DAMIAN PRIEST! The duo gets a loud pop from the live crowd, as Cathy asks Bad Bunny how he is feeling ahead of their WrestleMania debut tonight. He says this has been a lifelong dream of his to fight at WrestleMania, looking forward to kicking Noam Dar and Logan Paul’s ass at WrestleMania!

Cathy then turns to Damian Priest asking how he is feeling ahead of tonight, getting to team with his friend and get a huge WrestleMania moment against two men who have been a thorn in their side. He promises to give them a beating they haven’t forgotten and then he is going to have the wildest after-party the world has seen with Bad Bunny. Damian then gives Cathy a wink hoping to see her there. Cathy can’t help but blush as we cut to the ring for the only match of the pre-show.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

We cut to the ring with the majority of the superstars in the match standing in the ring: AR FOX, APOLLO CREWS, ARIYA DAIVARI, BO DALLAS, CURT HAWKINS, CURTIS AXEL, DAN MOLONEY, DANIEL GARCIA, DANNY BURCH, DUKE HUDSON, EJ NDUKA, EPICO, ERICK ROWAN, GRAN METALIK, JAMES STORM, JINDER MAHAL, KARL ANDERSON, KENNY WILLIAMS, KILLIAN DAIN, LUKE GALLOWS, MANSOOR, MARK ANDREWS, MOJO RAWLEY, ONEY LORCAN, OTIS DOZOVIC, PRIMO, RICK BOOGS, RICOCHET, RIDDICK MOSS, ROWE, SAMIR SINGH, SCRYPTS, SUNIL SINGH, THE BRIAN KENDRICK, THE MIZ, TITUS O’NEIL, TONY NESE and ZACK RYDER before we get the entrance for:

*3 KINGS*

DAVID HART SMITH makes his way out getting a decent pop from the live crowd. He slaps hands with some of the live crowd as Michael Cole says David Hart Smith has been impressing on NXT UK since his return to the WWE, winning the Heritage Cup down over there. Byron Saxton says he could be a dark horse to win this match and bring even more gold to the Hart family!

*SHADOWS OF A SETTING SUN*

SHINSUKE NAKAMURA makes his way out getting boos from the live crowd. He has a smug smirk on his face before slowly walking to the ring. Michael Cole brings up the accolades that Nakamura has held in WWE over the years and he has to be one of the favorites to win the match. Byron Saxton says there won’t be any Ungovernable members to help Nakamura tonight, he will have to do it alone!

*I BRING THE DARKNESS (END OF DAYS)*

BARON CORBIN makes their way out getting loud boos. He talks a whole bunch of trash to the live crowd, promising he is going to be the first-ever two-time winner of the Andre the Giant Battle Royal. Michael Cole says Elias is not here for this match due to his issues with Baron Corbin before getting injured and to avoid a conflict of interest. Byron Saxton says there will be 49 other men hoping to get the chance to kick Corbin’s ass!

*GRIT YOUR TEETH*

THE GRIZZLED YOUNG VETERANS make their way out next getting boos from the crowd. JAMES DRAKE walks on ahead as ZACK GIBSON mouths off to several of the fans in the front few rows. Michael Cole says these two have proven themselves to be an elite team holding the NXT UK and NXT tag team titles. Byron Saxton reminds us of the fact they lost their tag team titles at Stand and Deliver to MSK so will be looking to get their hands on gold once again!

*NO MORE WORDS*

JEFF HARDY walks out getting a loud pop from the fans before heading to the ring, dancing to the ring in signature fashion. Mansoor, his tag team partner inside the ring, even joins in with the dancing. Michael Cole says Jeff Hardy is one of the most beloved superstars in WWE history. Byron says we might get the loudest pop of the night if Jeff Hardy were to win tonight and even wonders if he would go for the North American title having never won the belt before.

*WRITTEN IN MY FACE*

SHEAMUS makes his way out, beating his chest in signature fashion and firing himself up for the live crowd. Michael Cole says Sheamus has had one goal in mind as of late: to become Intercontinental Champion before he retires and ends his career. Byron Saxton says he has been single-minded in his focus as of late, wondering who would be able to stop the former World Champion.

*THE RISING*

THE CHURCH OF SETH ROLLINS slowly marches out with KARRION KROSS leading the way with SCARLETT BORDEAUX by his side. He is then followed by NATHAN FRAZER, AKAM and REZAR as they march to the ring. Michael Cole says it is a big night for The Church as their leader and self-proclaimed God will be marching into hell to try to defeat Aleister Black. Byron Saxton says this group has been a menace on Smackdown, saying their numbers could be a problem for the entire field. In the ring, the 49 men who have made their way out stand in the ring as Corbin is talking trash to everyone until…

*AMEN*

ELIAS makes his way out getting a huge pop from the live crowd! Baron Corbin in the ring looks in shock as Michael Cole says Elias has been out of action for 15 months after Baron Corbin injured him towards the end of 2019. Byron Saxton says Elias will have one goal in mind now he is back in the ring. Elias slides into the ring holding a guitar and SMASHES IT OVER CORBIN’S HEAD AS THE REFEREE RINGS THE BELL TO GET THE MATCH UNDERWAY!

Andre the Giant Battle Royal (Winner gets an Intercontinental, United States or North American title shot):
Entrants: AR Fox, Akam, Apollo Crews, Ariya Daivari, Baron Corbin, Bo Dallas, Curt Hawkins, Curtis Axel, Dan Moloney, Daniel Garcia, Danny Burch, David Hart Smith, Duke Hudson, EJ Nduka, Elias, Epico, Erick Rowan, Gran Metalik, James Drake, James Storm, Jeff Hardy, Jinder Mahal, Karl Anderson, Karrion Kross, Kenny Williams, Killian Dain, Luke Gallows, Mansoor, Mark Andrews, Mojo Rawley, Nathan Frazer, Oney Lorcan, Otis Dozovic, Primo, Rezar, Rick Boogs, Ricochet, Riddick Moss, Rowe, Samir Singh, SCRYPTS, Sheamus, Shinsuke Nakamura, Sunil Singh, The Brian Kendrick, The Miz, Titus O’Neil, Tony Nese, Zack Gibson and Zack Ryder

Elsewhere in the ring, EJ Nduka starts to go on a tear as he grabs Epico and Primo grabbing them by the neck and he tosses them over the ropes. Killian Dain sees the big man and makes a point to confront EJ Nduka as the two powerhouses charge at each other. Jinder Mahal meanwhile stays in the corner but sends the Singh Brothers after the NXT UK stars Moloney and David Hart Smith… who take care of each other! AR Fox meanwhile tosses Daivari out of the ring who is noticeably holding his bicep.

Eliminated by EJ Nduka: Epico and Primo
Eliminated by Dan Moloney: Sunil Singh

Eliminated by AR Fox: Ariya Daivari

AR turns back around and gets into it with Kenny Williams as the match continues. Karrion Kross carries on The Church’s work within the match grabbing hold of Rick Boogs and tossing him over the top rope! Whilst this is going on, Akam and Rezar carry on their teamwork taking out The One Twos! The Authors of Pain look happy… BUT THEY GET CAUGHT OFF-GUARD AS OTIS AND ROWE WORK TOGETHER TO ELIMINATE BOTH!

Garcia though would soon find himself under attack from Karrion Kross who lays into him.

Jeff Hardy though would quickly follow up and eliminate James Storm from the match! The GYV would start to make their own impact on the match, tossing out Ryder and Hawkins before Zack Gibson then eliminated Mark Andrews as he tried to dive off the top rope to loud boos from the crowd!

Eliminated by James Storm: Mansoor

The GYV especially Zack Gibson starts getting loud boos before they get into a fight with the remaining NXT UK wrestlers!

Elias meanwhile keeps up his form from earlier in the match and tosses out The Brian Kendrick. EJ Nduka meanwhile grabs hold of Miz and launches him out of the ring with ease!

The ring is getting a lot freer as Kross and Frazer start to work together a lot more and they team up to take out Otis from the match! Elsewhere across the ring, the battle between GYV and the NXT UK wrestler sees Zack managing to eliminate Dan Moloney… BUT DAVID HART SMITH TAKES OUT JAMES DRAKE! Ricochet and Gran Metalik are having a battle with each other in an all Cruiserweight clash as Kenny Williams and Jinder Mahal try to sneak an elimination… but Ricochet and Gran Metalik send them out instead!

Eliminated by Karrion Kross and Nathan Frazer: Otis Dozovic
Eliminated by Zack Gibson: Dan Moloney
Eliminated by David Hart Smith: James Drake

Eliminated by Ricochet: Jinder Mahal

EJ Nduka would carry on showing his insane power, lifting up Rowe with ease and throwing him out of the ring! Erick Rowan meanwhile would look like he was close to taking out AR Fox but the NXT superstar would be saved by a BROGUE KICK! Jeff Hardy has Karrion Kross in a lot of danger and looks like he might be about to eliminate him… Nathan Frazer catches him by surprise and eliminates Jeff Hardy! Elias charges in looking to take advantage but Kross sends him out of the match too! Elsewhere across the ring David Hart Smith counters Nakamura and sends him out of the match confirming our final 10!

Eliminated by EJ Nduka: Rowe

Eliminated by David Hart Smith: Shinsuke Nakamura

Final 10: AR Fox, Daniel Garcia, David Hart Smith, EJ Nduka, Gran Metalik, Karrion Kross, Nathan Frazer, Ricochet, Sheamus, Zack Gibson

We would see wrestlers pairing off as Karrion Kross and Nathan Frazer would get into a battle with Ricochet and Gran Metalik as the two Cruiserweights carried on working together. Sheamus would get into a battle with EJ Nduka as they traded strikes, Zack Gibson would grapple with Daniel Garcia and AR Fox would battle with David Hart Smith. The former tag team and Heritage Cup champion tries to use his power but AR Fox is a crafty veteran who uses his speed to eliminate David Hart Smith!

Eliminated by AR Fox: David Hart Smith

AR Fox rests by the ropes for a moment as across the ring we can see Ricochet and Nathan Frazer battling by the ropes with both on the ring apron struggling to stay on as Metalik looks to hurricanrana Kross out of the ring… BUT KROSS SENDS AN OPPORTUNITY AND TOSSES METALIK AT RICOCHET ELIMINATING HIM FROM THE MATCH AS WELL AS METALIK!

Eliminated by Karrion Kross: Ricochet and Gran Metalik

Kross has a smirk as Nathan Frazer is holding onto the ropes… AR FOX ELIMINATES HIM FROM THE MATCH WITH A DROPKICK!

Eliminated by AR Fox: Nathan Frazer

Karrion Kross looks furious and goes right after AR Fox laying into him. Fox stays alive and keeps in the match as across the ring the battle between Nduka power-wise sees the two men exchange strikes and chops. Sheamus is stiff but is struggling to get EJ out of the ring as Nduka lifts him… BUT SHEAMUS SLIPS BEHIND AND HITS A BROGUE KICK TO ELIMINATE HIM FROM THE MATCH!

Eliminated by Sheamus: EJ Nduka

Sheamus leans on the ropes whilst across the ring Zack Gibson goes for an eye poke to Garcia! The crowd loudly boos as Zack looks to use the cheap shot to throw out Daniel Garcia… BUT HE COUNTERS AND TOSSES GIBSON OUT OF THE RING!

Eliminated by Daniel Garcia: Zack Gibson

Final 4: AR Fox, Daniel Garcia, Karrion Kross, Sheamus

All 4 men in the match left head to a corner of the ring as the commentary team hypes up the fact that the winner of this match will get a shot at either the Intercontinental, United States, or North American title! AR Fox and Garcia meet in the middle of the ring as the two Cruiserweights battle it out. Kross and Sheamus meanwhile engage in a power exchange as the two superstars are evenly matched as they battle each other to take control of the match!

The crowd gets behind Sheamus as they want to see him get another shot at the Intercontinental title. Garcia meanwhile shows his in-ring experience beyond his years, targeting the arms of AR Fox to make it harder for him to grab onto the ropes. He gets AR Fox onto the ring apron and starts trying to pry his fingers off the ropes… but AR FOX BRINGS GARCIA ONTO THE RING APRON AND TRIPS HIM UP TO ELIMINATE HIM FROM THE MATCH!

Eliminated by AR Fox: Daniel Garcia

AR Fox rolls back into the ring under the ropes as Daniel Garica looks annoyed and shakes his head as he walks away. Back across the ring Sheamus grabs hold of Kross and looks to hit the CELTIC CROSS… BUT KROSS COUNTERS AND LOCKS IN THE KROSS JACKET! Kross is wrenching back on the hold and looks to choke the lift out of Sheamus. The crowd wills him on before Kross tosses the lifeless Sheamus out of the match to loud boos from the crowd!

Eliminated by Karrion Kross: Sheamus

Final 2: AR Fox, Karrion Kross

Kross turns around with a sadistic smirk, happy to have ended Sheamus's dreams before he locks eyes with AR Fox! Kross offers to let him leave the ring. Still, the veteran shakes his head saying this is the best chance and goes right at Kross laying into him with a bunch of strikes as the crowd gets behind the NXT superstar hoping for an upset! The commentary team even mentions the upset AR Fox pulled off in NXT last year when he dethroned Johnny Gargano to become North American Champion!

Kross though has no interest in letting an upset happen as he drags AR off the mat and tries to throw him out several times… BUT AR KEEPS FINDING A WAY TO SURVIVE! Kross is noticeably getting more frustrated with this and charges at AR Fox who bounces off the ropes and hits a FLYING CUTTER! Fox has dropped Kross to huge cheers from the crowd before grabbing hold of Kross, struggling to lift him up and hitting what commentary calls the FOXCATCHER (Cut-throat brainbuster)! Kross is out for the count as AR Fox picks the lifeless body up and tosses him from the ring for the win!

Winner: AR Fox (21:15)

The fans go wild as AR Fox gets to his feet and celebrates potentially the biggest win in his career. Michael Cole and Byron Saxton put over his performance tonight, saying he would have shocked a lot of people but now he has the choice of which title he wants to fight for. He carries on celebrating in the ring whilst Kross scowls outside the ring sulking before we cut to…

---------------------------------------------------------------------

SWERVE STRICKLAND is watching the match very closely backstage on a monitor inside THE HURT BUSINESS LOCKER ROOM! He has a slight smile on his face adjusting the Intercontinental title on his shoulder before turning to the rest of the locker room. We can see SAMOA JOE and LIO RUSH both getting ready for action with MVP saying a few words quietly to them before he walks over to Swerve. He asked what the outcome was and Swerve said EJ had a good showing but it was his friend Fox who won.

Swerve says they should look at adding him to the group but MVP shakes his head saying they have an elite group already and that would be too many members. Swerve goes to argue but Samoa Joe steps forward as the two men come face to face. Joe says that this is a group based on business not just their friends from the past. Swerve scowls at Joe with MVP agreeing with the WWE Champion saying that Swerve has an eye for talent but they need to focus on tonight and keeping their titles.

Lio Rush has been oddly silent until this point but gets to his feet saying tonight is the biggest night of his career and he doesn’t need arguing. Swerve turns to him and tells Lio that he’s right, they need to step up and make sure they stay at the top of Raw. Joe says he intends to do what he needs to do to keep his title, asking Swerve if he will do the same. The two men are face to face with each other with the tension clear between the two men before we cut elsewhere.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

We cut to NOAM DAR and LOGAN PAUL hanging out with each other backstage with cocky smirks on their faces. They are soon approached by KAYLA BRAXTON looking for an interview with the pair of them. She asks Logan how he is feeling ahead of his first-ever wrestling match and Logan Paul laughs. He says he is a YouTube icon and in everything he does, he is successful. He brings up his boxing career and says he has shown his athleticism but when has Bad Bunny shown it?

Naom Dar chimes in and says Damian Priest has proven he can hang in NXT but what happens when he steps up to a true star, a true supernova even! He says tonight he and Logan Paul will show the world what happens when you fly too close to the sun. Logan Paul says you get burned and does the most obnoxious laugh you can imagine. Kayla leaves, ending the interview but not before we see KENNY WILLIAMS appear in shot hugging his friend Noam Dar.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

We cut to a dark room for the final segment of the pre-show and we can see ALEISTER BLACK sitting down on a chair. He has his head down and his hands clenched together looking at the ground. He doesn’t speak until he lifts his head looking directly at the camera with an angry intense glare. He says it is time to send God to hell and gets up as we get confirmation from Corey Graves that Night 1 of WrestleMania 37 will be starting with Seth Rollins vs Aleister Black inside Hell in a Cell!

WRESTLEMANIA 37 NIGHT 1 WILL BE POSTED IN THE COMING DAYS

Tg11 · Jun 19, 2025

Night 1 starts in Hell...The Devil's playground...Satan's structure with Aleister Black going up against Seth Rollins in Hell In A Cell...it's the beginning of the end and Hell In A Cell has finality to a feud. I still think of that Jim Johnston song The End because it symbolizes Hell In A Cell so much and with it being here at WrestleMania it is so fitting. Hell In A Cell shortens careers. Even ends them.

AR Fox winning Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal was the last thing I ever expected

Roy Mustang · Jun 22, 2025

WrestleMania 37 Night 11:
Arlington, Texas
March 27th 2021
AT&T Stadium

*SO IT WENT*

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The opening video for Night 1 of WrestleMania 37 comes to an end as the camera pans around the arena showing the packed AT&T Stadium before we cut to the commentary team for our first match: Byron Saxton and Corey Graves.

Corey Graves: Welcome to the biggest weekend of the year as it is night 1 of WrestleMania 37!

Byron Saxton: And we have already had an action-packed night with AR Fox winning the Andre the Giant Battle Royal to earn an Intercontinental, United States or North American title shot.

Corey Graves: Plus, Elias made his return to the ring, and later on tonight, he will discuss what it means for his future as a commentator.

Byron Saxton: But right now, we are about to enter Hell!

We cut to the ring and we can see the cell being lowered and surrounding the ring as we wait for the competitors to make their entrance.

*VISIONARY*

SETH ROLLINS slowly marches out onto the entrance ramp in an all-white attire with his arms stuck out, soaking in the loud boos from the fans almost daring them to boo him even more deafening. He slowly walks down the entrance ramp and steps inside the cell, taking a seat in the middle of the ring cross-legged mocking Aleister Black.

Corey Graves: Seth and Black have been at war for months with both men ready to step into hell tonight to bring this rivalry to a close.

Byron Saxton: Both men have been playing with fire and we could be about to see a fierce battle tonight.

*ROOT OF ALL EVIL*

ALEISTER BLACK slowly rises from the depths of the arena. He takes his time with his rise from the depths and has a deer skull over his head which he slowly takes off as we can see the black scarring on his skin from the fireball attack by Seth Rollins. He slowly walks to the ring with a purpose never taking his eyes off his opponent tonight.

Byron Saxton: Aleister Black has been someone who has had a problem with his anger, with it costing him matches in the past. Could that be a factor tonight?

Corey Graves: I would normally agree but in an environment like Hell in a Cell, letting your anger flow out of him will benefit him, especially versus someone who has entered hell before.

Aleister Black steps inside the cell and the door is locked behind him. He takes his time, walking around the ring but noticeably never takes his eyes off Seth Rollins. He climbs into the ring and sits down next to Rollins sitting cross-legged as well. The two men lock eyes as the referee calls for the bell getting the main event underway!

Hell in a Cell match:
Aleister Black vs Seth Rollins

Both men sit on the mat in front of each other for a few seconds even after the bell rings with Rollins cackling like a maniac. Black remains stoic before striking first with a wicked SLAP TO THE FACE! Seth soon stops laughing and has a scowl on his face before going for a strike of his own… BUT BLACK CATCHES HIS ARM AND SPRINGS INTO A THESZ PRESS LAYING INTO ROLLINS WITH A SERIES OF HARD FISTS! Black pummels Seth on the mat letting out 9 months of anger!

Black is vicious in his punches, really giving Seth a beating on the mat before picking him up and TOSSES HIM ACROSS THE RING WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! Seth lands with a hard thud but Black noticeably doesn’t make a cover hitting Seth with a RUNNING KNEE AS HE RISES TO HIS FEET SENDING ROLLINS OVER THE ROPES TO THE OUTSIDE! Black looks at Seth who stumbles to his feet and HITS A SUICIDE DIVE THROUGH THE ROPES SENDING SETH CRASHING INTO THE CELL WALL!

Seth slumps to the floor as Black gets back to his feet, not even acknowledging the cheers from the live crowd. Black grabs Seth and picks him up IRISH WHIPPING HIM INTO THE CAGE WALL! He slams Seth into the wall with a brutal thud as the self-proclaimed God’s head bounces off the wall. Black isn’t done there and grabs him by the head SLAMMING HIS HEAD FACE-FIRST INTO THE CAGE WALL REPEATELY! Black is giving Seth the beating of a lifetime so far!

Black drops Seth down as the camera zooms in on Seth’s face and he has been BUSTED OPEN! Black shows no mercy BOOTING HIM RIGHT IN THE HEAD! Rollins falls to the floor and Black is quick to start peppering the chest of Rollins hitting him with a series of kicks to the chest, pressuring him against the cage wall! Black looks to finish off with a ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE HEAD… BUT SETH DUCKS AND SENDS BLACK BACK-FIRST INTO THE CAGE WALL!

Black slams into the cage wall as Seth takes a moment to catch his breath having been battered in the early stages of this match! Black slumps against the wall but looks to come back on the attack… BUT SETH ROLLS INTO THE RING LOOKING TO ESCAPE! The crowd loudly boos this from Seth but Black has no intention of letting him escape as he follows Seth. Rollins tries in vain to force the door open as BLACK SMASHES HIM IN THE BACK WITH A WICKED KNEE TO THE BACK!

Black is not letting Seth Rollins escape as he peppers him with several more kicks before sending him into the cage wall once again! He is slamming Seth with full force into the wall and the live crowd is loving every minute of this! The commentary team though wonders if Black is more focused on hurting Seth than he is on winning the match and finishing the job! Seth slumps against the wall as Black looks to grab hold of him one more time… BUT SETH DESPERATELY LOW BLOWS HIM!

All legal within the Cell but the crowd hates Seth going low to gain an edge in this match. Black falls to the floor as Seth holds onto the cage wall and looks at Black with disdain as blood is dripping down his face! Seth walks over towards the ring apron, taking a few minutes to look underneath the ring and finds a KENDO STICK! He twirls it around as he slowly approaches the rising Black and SMASHES HIM WITH THE KENDO STICK! Black winces in pain looking angry… BUT SLOWLY RISES TO HIS FEET THROUGH THE STRIKES!

Seth looks in shock as he looks for one final strike… BUT BLACK CATCHES THE STICK WITH HIS HAND! Black yanks it out of the hands of Rollins and SNAPS IT OVER HIS KNEE BEFORE TOSSING THE BROKEN PIECES INTO THE RING! Seth stumbles back, once again fearful of what Black is going to do to him! Rollins tries to escape but Black grabs hold of Seth and locks him in the ANTI-CROSS! Black wrenches back on the lethal hold… BUT SETH SLAMS BLACK BACK-FIRST INTO THE STEEL CAGE!

Black is forced to let go of the hold and winces in pain as Seth jumps onto the ring apron before diving off hitting a DROPKICK TO SEND BLACK BACK INTO THE CELL ONCE AGAIN! Black slumps against the cage wall as Seth gets back to his feet and STARTS STOMPING ON BLACK SEVERAL TIMES! Seth puts the boots into Black as he presses him against the cage wall and tries to turn the tides of the match back in his favor! Seth then grabs hold of Black lifting him off the floor and HITS HIM WITH A FLATLINER INTO THE CAGE WALL!

Black slumps to the floor as Seth clutches his own back, having hurt himself in his attempt to break Aleister tonight! Seth takes a few seconds to lift himself up using the cage wall before heading back towards the ring apron and looking underneath before grabbing another KENDO STICK! He holds the stick but this time PRESS THE STICK INTO THE THROAT OF BLACK PRESSING HIM INTO THE CAGE WALL! Black is choking and spluttering from the damage as the commentary team says Seth has lost it!

Seth finally breaks the choke on Black as he holds the kendo stick in the air soaking in the boos from the live crowd! He then turns around as Black tries to get back to his feet AND CRACKS HIM IN THE SKULL! Black falls back to the floor and clutches his head… SHOWING HE HAS NOW ALSO BEEN BUSTED OPEN! Seth cackles like a maniac before SMASHING THE KENDO STICK ON HIS BACK UNTIL IT SPLINTERS AND BREAKS INTO PIECES!

Seth tosses the broken stick away before grabbing hold of Black and SENDS HIM FACE-FIRST INTO THE CELL WALL! Seth reveals in the chance to now press Black into the cage wall before DRAGGING HIS FACE ACROSS THE CAGE WALL! Black’s blood is shown across the wall before Seth sends him into the RINGPOST FACE-FIRST! Seth grabs hold of Black and rolls him into the ring with an evil smirk on his face before grabbing a pair of STEEL CHAIRS!

The commentary team says Seth Rollins won his last Hell in a Cell match when he fought Edge inside it at No Mercy last year by hitting him with a CON-CHAIR-CO! Seth Rollins has a smug smirk and lifts the steel chair up hitting Black in the back with it several times before dragging Black over towards the steel chair as he places him face first on it. Seth talks a bunch of trash to Aleister Black before grabbing the second steel chair ready to SLAM IT DOWN…

BLACK MOVES JUST IN TIME! Seth is staggered for a moment as the steel connects with steel. Black thinks quickly and sweeps the leg of Seth Rollins causing him to fall to the mat! Black grabs hold of the steel chair and SMASHES HIM IN THE GUT WITH THE CHAIR STUNNING SETH ROLLINS! Black then lifts up the chair and SMASHES IT ON THE BACK OF ROLLINS! He cracks the chair over his back 10 times until it is bent and broken, tossing it out of the ring! Black looks down at Seth Rollins but doesn’t even think about making the cover!

Instead, he places his foot under Seth's chin and slowly looks to bring him up for BLACK MASS… SETH AVOIDS IT AND COUNTERS WITH A BUCKLE BOMB! He slams Aleister back first into the corner of the ring, furthering the damage done to Aleister’s back! Seth takes a moment to recover, wincing in pain due to his own back before looking at the steel chair on the mat. He picks it up and unfolds it… BEFORE GRABBING BLACK AND HITTING GOD’S LAST GIFT ONTO IT BREAKING THE CHAIR! Seth moves it to the side and makes the first cover of the match

BLACK KICKS OUT!

Seth sits next to Black and starts to cackle to himself before looking at Black, saying he should have taken the mercy killing! Seth grabs the broken seat of the chair and places it on the mat under Black’s head! Seth heads back to the corner as he lines up Aleister Black and goes for the CURB STOMP… BLACK MOVES JUST IN TIME! Black grabs Rollins and slams him down onto the chair seat hitting a GERMAN SUPLEX! Black looks at Seth and once again doesn’t cover him, instead grabs a broken chair leg and uses it to lock in a MODIFIED DRAGON SLAYER!

Black wrenches back on the lethal hold as he looks to choke the life out of Seth Rollins! The self-proclaimed God of WWE is fighting for his life and struggles to stay alive in this hold! Rollins tries to flip his body over but Black brings him to the ground so he can’t flip over and yanks extra hard. Seth is starting to fade in the hold… BUT HE MOVES HIS FOOT AND KICKS OVER THE BROKEN KENDO STICK… STABBING BLACK IN THE FACE WITH IT TO BREAK THE HOLD!

A deadly attack by Seth but it shows his desperation to defeat Black tonight! Black rolls back towards the ropes and grabs his forehead, with the cut getting even worse… SETH POUNCES WITH A KNEE TO THE SKULL! Seth considers making the cover but instead picks up the broken kendo stick and LOOKS TO TRY TO STAB BLACK IN THE EYE WITH IT! Seth has truly lost it and luckily Black fights back before sending Seth over the ropes and crashing to the floor outside the ring!

Black looks at Seth outside the ring and has even more disdain for him. Black heads to the top rope and lines up with Seth down below… HITTING A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING TO SETH’S CHEST! The crowd loudly cheers as Black gets back to his feet and only cares about making Seth suffer! He grabs hold of Seth lifting him off the floor and hits a SAITO SUPLEX SENDING SETH INTO THE CAGE WALL! The commentary team points out that this is the signature move of Seth’s very own Devil Karrion Kross!

Seth is slumped against the cage wall as Black climbs onto the ring apron before running along it and HITS A DIVING METEORA CRUSHING SETH’S SKULL BETWEEN HIS KNEE AND THE CAGE WALL! Black gets back to his feet as Byron Saxton encourages him to get Seth back in the ring but Black is too focused on hurting Seth Rollins! Black takes a few minutes before pulling out a series of KENDO STICKS FROM UNDER THE RING!

Seth is not moving as Black lashes him with the kendo stick before TRAPPING HIM IN THE CORNER OF THE RING! Seth tries to kick at Black as he does this but he grabs another kendo stick and SMASHES HIM IN THE RIBS AGAIN! Black then places the kendo stick trapping his arms and then another one trapping his legs in the corner of the ring! Black looks at him and asks Seth how badly he wants to be Jesus before PEPPERING HIM WITH A SERIES OF HARD KICKS IN THE CORNER OF THE CELL!

Black is hammering away on Seth who at first smiles through the pain but more and more you can see the pain on his face as Aleister Black is relentless! Black looks at Seth and asks if he is ready to accept, that he is no God. Seth responds to this by SPITTING IN BLACK’S FACE! Black stands there with a face of fury and looks to the STEEL STEPS! Black unhooks the steel steps as Seth realizes he might be in big trouble as BLACK LOOKS TO SMASH HIM WITH THEM…

SETH FREES HIMSELF JUST IN TIME! Black slams the steps into the cell as Seth LOW BLOWS BLACK IN DESPERATION AGAIN! Seth keeps going low but he is doing whatever he needs to survive this match! The steps fall to the floor right next to Black as Seth takes a few seconds to regain his composure. Black is struggling on the floor and looks to crawl onto the steel steps…

SETH POUNCES AND HITS THE CURB STOMP ONTO THE STEPS AND CRUSHING BLACK’S SKULL! Seth pounces on an opportunity he had created and Black’s anger might have cost him the match. Seth takes a few seconds to rest on the ring apron before grabbing the lifeless body of Black and dragging him back towards the ring before rolling Black inside. Seth makes the cover

BLACK KICKS OUT!

The crowd goes wild as Black stays alive in his war against Seth Rollins. Seth meanwhile looks furious and wipes some of the blood from his face onto his clothes, shouting that Black needs to stay down! Seth grabs hold of Black and teases going for the PEDIGREE! The commentary team brings up HHH’s history with Seth and the Hell in a Cell structure… BUT BLACK COUNTERS WITH A BACK BODY DROP! Seth lands on his back and stumbles to his feet… BLACK MASS! Black drops Seth and makes his first cover of the match

ROLLINS KICKS OUT!

Black has a blank expression on his face but we can see the fury come over his face at the fact Seth Rollins is still alive in this match! He shakes his head before rolling to the outside of the ring, for the first time this match having a look for a weapon. He takes a few minutes before pulling out a STEEL CHAIN from under the ring, holding it in the air before walking back into the ring and SLOWLY WRAPS IT AROUND HIS BOOT! Black is about to go for a MODIFIED BLACK MASS! He raises Seth’s head up with his boot and SWINGS… SETH COUNTERS AND GRABS THE CHAIN SENDING BLACK TO THE MAT!

Seth then senses an opportunity to use the chain against Black as he grabs hold of the chain to drag Black towards the corner of the ring and LOCKS IN A MODIFIED FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK AROUND THE RING POST! And there is no count so Seth can keep this hold locked in for as long as he wants! Seth yanks on the hold, almost like he is trying to break the right leg of Black holding onto it for nearly a FULL MINUTE BEFORE HAVING TO FULL TO THE FLOOR NO LONGER ABLE TO KEEP IT LOCKED IN!

Seth gets to his feet outside the ring as Black grabs his right foot in agony as he is in a ton of pain. Seth sits outside the ring and cackles to himself like a madman happy with the damage he has done before heading to the ring apron. Black is still rolling around on the mat as Seth lines him up… AND HITS A PHOENIX SPLASH! Seth makes the cover on Black!

BLACK KICKS OUT!

Black stays alive in this match but Seth is not happy about it! Seth looks at the chain still around the leg of Black and has an idea. He grabs hold of it as he locks in a MODIFIED BOSTON CRAB USING THE CHAIN! Seth is wrenching back on the hold and trying to force a tap out from Black but the Dutch Destroyer grits his teeth and tries to find a way out… BUT SETH YANKS EVEN HARDER! Black realizes he has only one way to escape and crawls to the ropes… CLIMBING THROUGH THEM AND SENDING HIMSELF PLUS SETH FALLING TO THE FLOOR TO BREAK THE HOLD!

Both men lay on the floor between the cell and the ring with Seth the first to get to his feet and has evil intentions as he grabs the chain once again… BUT THIS TIME BLACK IS READY FOR IT AND PULLS THE CHAIN SENDING SETH FACE-FIRST INTO THE CELL WALL! Seth’s head bounces off the cell as Black hops back to his feet AND HITS THE BLACK MASS WITH THE CHAIN AROUND HIS FOOT! Rollins drops to the floor like a sack of spuds as Black winces in pain, using the cell wall for support!

Black is still wincing in pain but he unwraps the metal chain from around his boot and USES IT TO START CHOKING THE LIFE OUT OF SETH ROLLINS! The crowd cheers loudly as Black is vindictively choking Seth who struggles for breath and HAS TO USE THE CELL WALL TO PUSH OFF IT AND SLAMS BLACK BACK-FIRST INTO THE RING APRON! Black drops the chain clutching his back as Seth is coughing and spluttering on the floor!

Black recovers first and takes the chain off of Seth’s neck as he wraps it around his fist and PUNCHES SETH IN THE HEAD AGAINST THE CELL WALL! Seth struggles to fight back as Black is lethal in his assault before Black grabs Seth and rolls him back into the ring. Black drops the chain and takes a few seconds before considering his next move. He looks at Seth and you can see the rage building in his face as he grabs a PETROL CAN FROM UNDER THE RING!

The referee rolls out of the ring and looks to try to have a word with Black but he pushes him to the floor outside the ring, out to make Rollins truly burn in hell! Black grabs a lighter and slides back into the ring as he stands above Seth ready to pour the petrol on him… BUT SETH MOVES JUST IN TIME! Seth avoids being burned alive by Black and looks terrified, BEGGING OFF BLACK! Black stares at him and coldly walks forward as Seth keeps begging… GOES FOR A LOW BLOW… BUT BLACK DROPS THE LIGHTER AND CATCHES HIS ARM STOPPING HIM!

BLACK KICKS OUT!

Seth pounds the mat, wanting this to end and wants to escape hell but the self-proclaimed God still needs to do more to finish off Aleister Black tonight! He looks at the petrol can in the ring and tosses it to the outside, kicking away the lighter as well to loud boos from the fans! Seth looks at the fans and says he has something better in mind heading to the outside of the ring and he looks underneath it for a bit before pulling out a CINDERBLOCK!

Seth slides the cinderblock into the ring before grabbing hold of Black and looking to drag him onto it… BUT BLACK FIGHTS BACK AND SENDS HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! Seth falls back down as Black hops to his feet and goes for BLACK MASS… SETH FALLS TO THE MAT!

Winner via pinfall: Seth Rollins (25:12)

The crowd loudly boos as they can’t believe what just happened but Seth Rollins cackles like a maniac as the cell is brought down. Aleister Black lays down and out selling the brutal combination onto the cinderblock!

Byron Saxton: These two men truly went to Hell tonight!

Corey Graves: Both were willing to end each other’s career but tonight, Seth was ruthless enough to get the job done.

Byron Saxton: And you have to wonder what is next for Aleister Black as he was driven by his need to get revenge on Seth Rollins these last few weeks.

Corey Graves: Black may need to readjust and make a new plan if he wants to get back in the Universal title picture after tonight.

Medics come into the ring looking to check up on Aleister Black and make sure he is OK in the background. Seth meanwhile at the bottom of the ramp sticks his arms out, with blood pouring down his face and we cut to the backstage area to see…

---------------------------------------------------------------------

BETH PHOENIX WARMING UP BACKSTAGE! The Glamazon has a serious look on her face but you can see a hint of nerves, knowing she is going one-on-one with her former best friend. She is lifting some weights but stops as she sees someone walking into the room… BECKY LYNCH! The crowd goes wild, excited to see The Man once again. The two women stare each other down before sharing a hug. Beth breaks it first looking directly at Becky.

Beth Phoenix: You were always right about not being able to trust Natalya.

Becky shrugs and responds with a slight smirk.

Becky Lynch: Hey us Irish, we know a thing or two about snakes.

Beth smiles nodding before Becky puts a hand on her shoulder.

Becky Lynch: Make sure you kick her ass tonight. Not just for me but for yourself.

Beth nods in agreement as Becky carries on.

Becky Lynch: Show that us mothers can kick ass still.

Beth nods and Becky goes to leave but Beth stops her with a slight smile on her face.

Beth Phoenix: I appreciate the pep talk, but after tonight, win or lose I’m done.

Becky nods as Beth carries on.

Beth Phoenix: What about you?

Becky smiles and looks directly at Beth.

Becky Lynch: Don’t worry, the Man will come around soon.

Becky walks off with a smile before we cut back to the commentary team at ringside!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Michael Cole: Becky Lynch has recently given birth to her beautiful daughter Roux and you have to think it is a matter of time before she returns to the ring like you did earlier tonight, Elias.

Elias chuckles slightly before smiling as he looks at Michael.

Elias: And it felt truly right returning to the ring, getting to kick Corbin’s ass once again.

Michael Cole: Well, it has been a pleasure working with you on commentary this plus year and I look forward to seeing who my new partner will be.

Elias: That’s right, I am cleared to compete and this means I will no longer be on the commentary desk from Monday Night onwards!

*PLAY MY ASS OFF*

XAVIER WOODS makes his way out getting loud cheers from the live crowd! Ever happy to rise to the occasion, Xavier is tonight dressed in a Saiyan warrior special attire based on Dragonball Z. He takes a moment to pause looking at the fans before stepping into the ring for the biggest match of his singles career.

Michael Cole: Xavier Woods spent a lot of the last year dealing with self-doubt and not believing in himself.

Elias: Woods though has always been capable of being a champion and is arguably the reason New Day even came together in the first place.

Michael Cole: Tonight is truly a golden opportunity for Woods to finally become a singles Champion in the WWE.

Elias: He is going to have to overcome a very confident and great Cruiserweight Champion in…

*I CAME TO COLLECT*

LIO RUSH! The crowd boos the Cruiserweight as he is joined by MVP on the way out. Lio shouts to the fans that this is his time before looking to MVP and says he wants to do this alone. MVP looks unsure but does what his client says and heads to the back as Rush heads to the ring.

Michael Cole: Looks like Lio Rush is confident enough to do this alone!

Elias: Lio Rush might be a bit too confident and underestimating Woods but it also means we will get a fair fight tonight!

Michael Cole: Lio Rush is a young superstar and has years of his career ahead of him, will his lack of experience cost him here?

Elias: Woods may be experienced with mostly tag team matches but he has been in title matches at WrestleMania before and knows what is needed to win.

Both men stand in the ring as the usual title announcements are made before the referee calls for the bell to get this match underway!

Cruiserweight title match:
Lio Rush © vs Xavier Woods

Lio Rush has a smirk on his face whilst Xavier is serious, letting the occasion sink in for him. Woods looks to go after him BUT LIO MOVES OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME! Lio doesn’t lay into Woods with any offense and instead taunts him by tapping the side of his skull. Woods doesn’t react to that too kindly looking to go for a DROPKICK… BUT RUSH AVOIDS IT AND HITS A LOW SUPERKICK AS WOODS LANDS ON THE MAT! Rush makes a lax cover 1 Woods powers out!

Lio looks slightly shocked that Woods kicked out but laughs to himself and runs the ropes right into a DROPKICK FROM WOODS! Xavier stays focused as he gives Rush a series of stomps as he looks to lay into him. Rush tries to sit up to get out of the move… WOODS HITS A LOW SUPERKICK OF HIS OWN! Woods makes the cover 1 Rush powers out! Woods nods knowing he needs to do more as he grabs hold of Lio Rush looking to lift him up BUT RUSH COUNTERS WITH A VERTICAL SUPLEX!

Rush has a smile on his face once again before running to the ropes and SPRINGBOARDING OFF THEM FOR A SPLASH ONTO WOODS! Rush makes a cover 1 Woods kicks out again! The commentary team discusses how much this means to Woods and how much finally becoming a singles champion will mean to him.

Jimmy Uso: Kevin we are the greatest tag team of all time and tonight we show the world it one more time!

Jey grabs hold of Kevin who looks a little nervous.

Jey Uso: When we said The Bloodline was taking over, we meant it. Smackdown Live, hell the whole WWE is Roman’s turf.

Jimmy Uso: He is the Tribal Chief and we have everything on lockdown!

Jey lifts his tag team title up right in Kevin’s face.

Jey Uso: Just because Edge and Rey held these once upon a time doesn’t mean they are taking them from us tonight!

Jimmy Uso: No because we are the greatest tag team of all time! We are the ones who run this tag team division!

Jey Uso: Edge, Rey that chill you feel down your spine, it’s not paranoia.

Jimmy Uso: It’s The Usos!

The 8-time tag team champions lift up their tag team titles one more time to end the interview before we cut to the ring for the 3rd match of the night!

Ruby Riott: I think we should work together to make sure one of us wins the match. That way…

Liv Morgan: There it is.

Ruby stops looking confused.

Liv Morgan: You don’t want to make up with me and be friends again, you want that briefcase.

Ruby shakes her head but Liv gets to her feet.

Liv Morgan: I do not trust you to not stab me in the back again.

Liv goes to leave but Ruby stops her and turns her around as the two women stare each other down.

Ruby Riott: Fine. If you don’t want to work together, I understand. Let the best woman win.

Ruby walks off leaving Liv a bit confused before shaking her head and walking off as well before we cut back to the ring for the 5th match of the night!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

We cut to the commentary desk after panning around the ringside area to show 8 ladders around the ring and the Women’s Money in the Bank briefcase high above.

Corey Graves: It has been a packed night but right now we are about to see 8 women fight for the chance to be the next Mrs. Money in the Bank!

Elias: This is going to be a demolition derby!

*FORCE OF GREATNESS*

NIA JAX makes her way out first with a smug look on her face. She gets loud boos from the live crowd but dismisses the fans as she climbs into the ring waiting for her opponents tonight.

Corey Graves: Nia Jax returned at last year’s WrestleMania and won the Sensational Sherri Battle Royal! Will she win tonight as well?

Elias: Nia Jax’s size gives her an advantage and disadvantage in this match because whilst she will have trouble climbing the ladder, it will be hard to bring her down!

*I DISAGREE*

MILLIE MCKENZIE makes her way out next with a smile on her face and takes a moment to soak everything from the crowd. The crowd gives her a decent reaction as she walks to the ring for potentially the biggest match of her career.

Corey Graves: Millie McKenzie joined the Smackdown roster last year and even at her young age, she has been impressing me with her maturity at her young age.

Elias: She is known as the 21st century badass and if she wins tonight, she has the chance to become the youngest women’s champion in WWE history.

*THE CULLING*

PIPER NIVEN walks out with a smile on her face joined by MELINA! Melina gives Piper a hug before heading backstage, leaving her tag team partner to head to the ring by herself for this match.

Corey Graves: Melina giving her tag team partner some final words of wisdom ahead of this match.

Elias: The size advantage Nia Jax has over the field can also be applied to Piper Niven. And the last time they fought, Piper was able to defeat Nia Jax!

*FABULOUS*

CARMELLA makes her way out getting a decent pop from the live crowd. The two-time Money in the Bank winner looks confident as she heads to the ring, having done it before and planning to do it again.

Corey Graves: And this is my favorite to win the match, she is the only competitor in the match who has done it before!

Elias: It also places a target on her back Corey; everyone will see her as the woman to beat if they want to become the next Mrs. Money in the Bank.

*WE RIOT*

RUBY RIOTT makes her way out still getting boos from the live crowd. She takes her time walking out and looks to check a few of the ladders before climbing into the ring, and standing away from the rest of the competitors.

Corey Graves: Ruby seems to have been trying to make amends with her former friend Liv Morgan as of late but I think she is looking for an ally to help her in this match!

Elias: It did scream that at first to me but in the past, when someone has rejected her schemes, Ruby has attacked them. This time she accepts Liv’s rejection.

*ATHENA*

EMBER MOON marches out next getting loud boos from the live crowd. She has a scowl on her face but as she looks at the ladders around the ring, we can see a sick smile appear on her face, getting a few ideas of what to do during the match.

Corey Graves: Ember Moon at last year’s WrestleMania walked out as WWE Women’s Champion when she made Asuka tap out!

Elias: She has made threats to repeat that if she were to win tonight’s match. If I were Asuka and Conti, I would be rooting for someone else to win!

*BUBBLEGUM BITCH*

LIV MORGAN walks out onto the entrance ramp with a big smile on her face and gets loud cheers from the fans. She sprints down the ramp and jumps over the ropes, standing in the ring and looking directly at her former best friend Ruby Riott.

Corey Graves: Liv had a rough 2020 spending a lot of time on the shelf with injury.

Elias: But will she be focused on the task at hand or too focused on her former best friend Ruby?

*AMAZING (REMIX)*

NAOMI makes her way out with an angry look on her face, focused on doing what she told Roman she was going to and becoming the next Mrs. Money in the Bank!

Corey Graves: Naomi has been this close to becoming a 3-time Women’s champion as of late when she fought Asuka.

Elias: Another woman who if she wins will have her eyes on the Asuka versus Taynara Conti title match later in the show.

Naomi stands in the ring as the 8 women look at each other as they look into the middle of the ring waiting for the referee to call for the bell to get this match underway!

Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match:
Nia Jax vs Carmella vs Liv Morgan vs Ember Moon vs Ruby Riott vs Millie McKenzie vs Piper Niven vs Naomi

It takes a few seconds for the wrestlers to make the first move, knowing they can’t win the match this early but could lose it! The women do, though, all turn their attention to Piper Niven and Nia Jax as they team up to attack their larger opponents. They all beat down Piper and Nia… BUT THEY POWER OUT AND SEND THE OTHER 6 WOMEN FLYING TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING! Piper and Nia then turn their attention to each other in the middle of the ring as they start to trade punches!

The two women are evenly matched as they trade blows with each other trying to knock the other off their feet! Outside the ring meanwhile, Millie is battling with Ruby Riott as the young superstar grabs Ruby and SUPLEXES HER INTO A LADDER! Across the ring, Liv and Naomi are fighting with each other as they send themselves into the crowd for a moment! Lastly, we can see Carmella and Ember Moon battling by one of the ladders… EMBER SENDS CARMELLA FACE-FIRST INTO ONE!

Ember grabs hold of Carmella by the head and rams her into it a few times before tossing her into the crowd to boos from the fans. Liv and Naomi meanwhile carry on their brawl but LIV HITS A HURRICARANA INTO RAILINGS NEARBY! Naomi bounces off as Liv poses for the live crowd. Back in the ring, Piper is trying to lift Nia up off the mat but she fights out of it! They both stare each other down… BUT EMBER MOON RUNS INTO THE RING AND TAKES THEM BOTH DOWN WITH A LADDER SHOT!

Nia and Piper fall to the mat as Ember looks at both of them taking it in turns to clock them with the ladder on the mat before forcing them from the ring! Ember sets up the ladder in the middle of the ring and starts to climb… MILLIE MCKENZIE SLIDES INTO THE RING AND PULLS HER DOWN! Millie looks to go for a GERMAN SUPLEX… BUT EMBER LANDS ON HER FEET AND GOES FOR A KICK… BUT MILLIE AVOIDS IT AND STARTS HITTING CHOPS IN THE CORNER!

The battle continues in the ring before we cut elsewhere as Naomi is laid out on a TABLE IN THE STANDS… AND WE CAN SEE LIV MORGAN HIGH ABOVE! She signals to the live crowd… MOONSAULT OFF THE BALCONY TO NAOMI BELOW! A “Holy Shit” chant starts up from the live crowd as Elias says Liv is doing whatever it takes to have her WrestleMania moment. Corey questions the brains of this move as Liv might be out of action whilst the briefcase is pulled down before we cut back to the ring!

Millie and Ember are still battling with each other as Millie tries to suplex her into the ladder… but Ember fights out sending her back… CARMELLA RUNS IN WITH A DROPKICK! Ember falls to the mat as Carmella turns to Millie, laying in a few kicks before sending her out of the ring! Ember meanwhile looks to sneak up the ladder… BUT CARMELLA STOPS HER… AS RUBY TRIES TO SNEAK UP THE OTHER SIDE SO CARMELLA STOPS HER AS WELL!

Corey on commentary points out Carmella knows to keep your eyes open in a match like this! Carmella tries to lift Ruby up but EMBER SLAMS HER IN THE BACK WITH A FOREARM SMASH! Carmella falls to the mat as Ember looks to Ruby and they work together to SUPLEX CARMELLA ONTO THE LADDER! Carmella shouts in pain before rolling out of the ring leaving Ember and Ruby alone inside the ring. Ember looks at Ruby and points around the ring suggesting they work together. Ruby is seen thinking about it… PIPER RETURNS TO THE RING AND CLOTHESLINES BOTH OF THEM!

Piper gets to her feet and poses for the live crowd before grabbing hold of Ember and RUNS HER INTO THE CORNER CRUSHING EMBER! Ruby tries to charge at Piper… BUT THE SCOT COUNTERS AND HURLS HER INTO EMBER! Piper heads to the opposite corner of the ring and CRUSHES THEM BOTH WITH A BODY AVALANCHE! Piper looks to the ladder but sees Nia Jax climbing onto the ring apron… SO GRABS THE LADDER AND SENDS NIA CRASHING BACK TO THE FLOOR!

Piper turns back around towards the middle of the ring… DUAL DROPKICK FROM EMBER AND RUBY SENDING THE LADDER INTO PIPER! Ember points at Piper and says this is what they should do. Neither woman gets too much time to discuss it though as they are soon joined in the ring by MILLIE AND CARMELLA! The 4 women brawl in the ring and throw punches at each other battling to take control of the match… NIA JAX CLIMBS ONTO THE RING APRON AND BRINGS A LADDER UP BEFORE HURLING AT ALL 4 WOMEN KNOCKING THEM OVER!

Loud boos from the live crowd as Nia Jax stomps into the ring with Elias saying Nia Jax is a reckless competitor who doesn’t care about who she hurts or injures! Nia Jax picks up the ladder placing it around her head and starts to spin it around KNOCKING OVER EVERYONE WHO TRIES TO TAKE HER DOWN! Nia Jax is like a wrecking ball taking complete control of this match! She knocks everyone down and starts to slowly climb the ladder as the rest of the women roll out of the ring… LIV LEAPS ONTO HER BACK AND TRIES TO BRING NIA JAX OFF THE LADDER!

Liv wraps herself around the back and neck of Nia Jax stopping her from climbing up the ladder… BUT SHE CAN’T GET HER ANY FURTHER DOWN! Nia looks annoyed by Liv’s presence on her back and tries to fight out of it getting her up into an AIR RAID CRASH POSITION… LIV LOOKS TO SNEAK UP THE LADDER AHEAD OF NIA… BUT SHE GETS YANKED BACK DOWN! Nia brings her to the floor before swinging for her… LIV BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES AND HITS A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE… BOUNCES OFF NIA JAX!

Liv falls onto the mat in front of Nia Jax as the monster stands over her, grabbing Liv Morgan and looking to throw her across the ring… RUBY RIOTT ATTACKS NIA STOPPING HER! Nia puts down Liv Morgan and turns to Ruby who fires off a series of punches but Nia no-sells it heading towards her... EMBER MOON DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE HITTING THE ECLIPSE! Nia rolls out of the ring selling the damage from the eclipse leaving Ember next to Ruby and looking at Liv Morgan!

Ember Moon tells Ruby Riott that she should be looking to work with her and not Liv! Liv slowly gets up and sees this conversation looking suspect of Ruby before Ember Moon grabs hold of her… RUBY ATTACKS EMBER FROM BEHIND TO CHEERS FROM THE CROWD! She lays into Ember with a series of strikes to the back before grabbing hold of Ember and hitting her with an STO! Ruby plants Ember Moon before looking at Liv and offering a hand as the crowd cheers whilst Liv looks conflicted!

Liv looks like she is about to give an answer… MILLIE AND CARMELLA ATTACK THEM FROM BEHIND! The two Smackdown superstars look to stop the alliance before it can begin! Millie and Carmella grab hold of both women with Millie hitting Liv with a RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX ONTO THE LADDER BEHIND THEM whilst Carmella hits Ruby with a VERTICAL SUPLEX! Both former Riott Squad members leave the ring leading to Carmella and Millie starting to make the climb up the ladder!

Both women climb up one side of the ring each, as the fans cheer on each woman wanting to see either of these two bring down the briefcase! Both women battle at the top of the ladder both trading strikes with one another UNTIL PIPER NIVEN SLIDES INTO THE RING AND PUSHES THE LADDER OVER CAUSING BOTH WOMEN TO CRASH TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING! Piper Niven has a smile in the ring but before she can re-position the ladder NAOMI ATTACKS HER FROM BEHIND!

Naomi lays into her with a series of vicious strikes to the back and lays into the bigger foe… BUT PIPER STARTS TO NO-SELL IT AND GRABS HOLD OF NAOMI BY THE THROAT… NIA JAX ATTACKS PIPER FROM BEHIND! The crowd boos as Naomi and Nia Jax are working together. The commentary team mentioned the Bloodline link between the two and they could be an unstoppable threat in this match! Naomi shouts some instructions to Nia before grabbing a ladder to put it into the corner of the ring in between the ropes!

Nia Jax grabs hold of Piper Niven whilst Naomi climbs onto the ring apron and heads to the top rope behind the ladder! Nia hoists Piper up and plants them with a POWERSLAM ONTO THE LADDER BRIDGE IN THE CORNER… NAOMI FLIES OFF HITTING A SPILT-LEGGED MOONSAULT TO PIPER ON THE LADDER! The Scot rolls off the ladder and out of the ring as Naomi and Nia Jax have a word… as NIA SETS UP THE LADDER FOR NAOMI WHO STARTS TO CLIMB!

The crowd loudly boos as Naomi is climbing… LIV AND RUBY ENTER THE RING WITH LIV JUMPING AND GOING AFTER NIA WITH A SERIES OF PUNCHES TO THE HEAD! Ruby meanwhile grabs Naomi and pulls her off the ladder before trying to send her into the ladder bridge… NAOMI COUNTERS AND SENDS RUBY INTO THE LADDER BRIDGE INSTEAD! Ruby is down for the count whilst Nia hoists Liv Morgan up and POWERBOMBS HER ONTO THE LADDER BRIDGE BREAKING IT!

The former Riott Squad members are down and out, rolling out of the ring leaving The Bloodline alliance alone in the ring again! Naomi heads up the ring as the commentary team wonders if they have struck some kind of deal together ahead of this match! Naomi is getting closer to making it to the top when Ember Moon appears on the ring apron… AND LEAPS OFF THE ROPES ONTO NIA AND ONTO THE LADDER JOINING NAOMI ON THE LADDER GETTING CLOSER TO THE BRIEFCASE AND REACHING FOR IT!

Nia Jax reacts quickly as she grabs Ember to pull her off the ladder but this allows Millie to sneak around the other side and HITS A GERMAN SUPLEX OFF THE LADDER TO THE FLOOR TAKING OUT NAOMI! Back across the ring, Nia is grabbing hold of Ember looking to POWERBOMB HER TO THE MAT… EMBER COUNTERS PUSHING OFF THE ROPES AND BOOTS THE LADDER SENDING MILLIE CRASHING TO THE MAT AND HITTING A TORANDO DDT DROPPING NIA JAX!

Ember holds onto the ladder but CARMELLA KNOCKS HER OFF WITH ANOTHER SHOT! Ember is down on the mat as Carmella drops the ladder and grabs Ember to bring her towards the ladder… MELLA BUSTER!

Ember rolls out of the ring and holds her face as Carmella smirks and looks at the briefcase, she has been in this position before! She starts to make the climb as the crowd cheers but is soon joined in the ring by Ruby who pulls her down and stops her! A mixed reaction from the crowd with Ruby starting to endear herself to the live crowd as this match goes on! She looks to drop Carmella to the mat but she fights back and goes for the PRINCESS KICK… RUBY AVOIDS IT AND HITS A SAITO SUPLEX INTO THE UPRIGHT LADDER KNOCKING IT OVER!

Ruby then has an idea as she grabs one of the ladders on the mat and perches it in the corner of the ring! Carmella is getting back to her feet so she runs at the 2-time Money in the Bank winner and SENDS HER INTO THE LADDER WITH DEADLY NIGHTSHADE (MODIFIED HEAD-SCISSORS DRIVER)! Carmella slumps in the corner whilst Ruby has a smirk and walks towards the ladder when she is joined inside the ring by LIV MORGAN! The two former friends stare at each other for a while with the crowd unsure what they will do as PIPER NIVEN RE-ENTERS THE RING…

DUAL SUPERKICKS FROM THE FORMER RIOTT SQUAD TEAM! Piper falls back down to the ring floor as Liv points behind her and runs at Ruby WHO GIVES HER A BOOST AS SHE DIVES OUT OF THE RING WIPING OUT NAOMI AND NIA JAX! Cheers from the live crowd as Ruby considers taking advantage of the moment but instead runs the ropes and DIVES OUTSIDE WIPING OUT NAOMI AND NIA JAX WITH A SUICIDE DIVE OF HER OWN!

The crowd goes wild and starts to get behind Ruby Riott, now rooting for her to win. Both Liv and Ruby get to their feet outside the ring but before Ruby can say anything Morgan has an idea! They grab one of the ladders in front of them and make a LADDER BRIDGE BETWEEN THE RING APRON AND BARRICADE! The women have the bridge in place before walking over Piper Niven in front of them hoping to lift her up for a VERTICAL SUPLEX ONTO THE BRIDGE… BUT PIPER OVERPOWERS THEM BOTH HITTING A DUAL DDT TO THE FLOOR!

Piper gets a mixed reaction from the crowd but shrugs as she gets back to her feet BUT MILLIE MCKENZIE IS BACK ON HER FEET AND FIRES OFF A SERIES OF UPPERCUTS ROCKING PIPER! Millie sends Piper back and is hammering the larger opponent… UNTIL PIPER GRABS HER AND COUNTERS WITH A FALLAWAY SLAM ONTO THE LADDER! Piper then looks at the bridge and Millie on it having an idea! She climbs halfway up the ladder next to them… SCOT DROP CRUSHING MILLIE THROUGH THE LADDER BRIDGE!

Both women lay in the wreckage of the ladder bridge as a “HOLY SHIT” chant starts up from the live crowd! The camera cuts back to the ring as Carmella is back up and is slowly trying to make it towards the ladder to see it up… SHE GETS CRUSHED BY NIA JAX WHO HITS A JUMPING SENTON TO HER BACK! Boos from the live crowd as Nia Jax picks up Carmella and tosses her from the ring before setting up a ladder for herself. She gets ready to climb… AS NAOMI JOINS THE RING!

Nia Jax stops for a moment but looks to carry on climbing the ladder as NAOMI PULLS HER DOWN FROM THE LADDER AND STOPS HER! Nia looks confused and pushes Naomi asking what she is doing as Naomi says she should bring the briefcase back to their family. The two women exchange words with neither in agreement with the other winning the match… AS EMBER MOON BEHIND THEM LOOKS TO SNEAK UP THE LADDER!

Both women carry on their argument until they turn around and realize what is happening with Ember Moon as they run to the other side of the ring and PULL HER DOWN FROM THE LADDER! Both Naomi and Nia swing for Ember… BUT SHE DUCKS AND THEY COLLIDE WITH EACH OTHER! Both women are staggered as Ember thinking quickly grabs the ladder and USES IT AS BATTERING RAM TO SEND BOTH OF THEM OUT OF THE RING!

The crowd cheers for Ember, clearly preferring her winning to the outcome of one of the Bloodline members pulling down the briefcase! Ember smirks and heads back towards the middle of the ring still holding the ladder in front of her… DIVING MISSILE DROPKICK FROM LIV CRUSHING EMBER WITH THE LADDER! Cheers from the crowd Ember Moon drops the ladder and rolls out of the ring! Liv Morgan looks at the crowd who loudly cheers her on and with a smile, sets up the ladder in the middle of the ring and MAKES THE CLIMB!

The crowd cheers loudly and wills Liv Morgan on as he gets halfway up the ladder… RUBY RIOTT JOINS HER IN THE RING AND CLIMBS THE LADDER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING! Ruby climbs up the ladder as both the former members of the Riott Squad meet at the of the ladder and both reach for the briefcase but neither one is going to let the other make it without a fight.

NIA JAX SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING AND PLAYS SPOILER SENDING THEM CRASHING TO THE OUTSIDE! The crowd is loudly booing Nia who doesn’t give a damn and taunts them by doing a crybaby taunt! The taunting soon stops however as she gets joined in the ring as PIPER NIVEN! The crowd cheers as the two biggest women in the match come head-to-head one more time! The two women battle in the middle of the ring with Piper winning the battle and sending NIA OVER THE TOP ROPE! Piper turns back around to go up the ladder…

BUT NIA GRABS HER LEGS AND DRAGS HER UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE! Boos from the live crowd as Nia stops Piper from making the climb and looks to lay into her outside the ring… BUT PIPER COUNTERS WITH A MICHINOKU DRIVER TO THE RING FLOOR! The crowd cheers as Piper looks at Nia before turning to the commentary desk and has an idea! She rips apart the Spanish announce table tossing the covers to the side before placing Nia on top. Piper then climbs the ladder by the commentary desk and DIVES OFF SPLASHING NIA JAX THROUGH THE TABLE WIPING HER OUT!

Another “Holy shit” chant from the crowd with Piper showing off her insane agility but she might have taken herself and Nia out of this match for good! We cut back to the ring and NAOMI SLIDES INTO THE RING showing no concern for her ally as she climbs the ladder looking to win the match! She gets halfway up the ladder until she is stopped by MILLIE MCKENIZE! Millie tries to go for the GERMAN SUPLEX OFF THE LADDER BUT NAOMI FIGHTS HER OFF… BUT MILLIE STILL AIN’T LETTING HER CLIMB UP THE LADDER!

Millie grabs hold of the foot of Naomi and brings her back down to the mat. The young rookie looks to fire off a series of shots to the head but Naomi counters with a SIT-OUT JAWBREAKER!

They get in between the two ladders in the middle of the ring… AND EACH PUSH ONE SENDING ALL 4 WOMEN CRASHING TO THE FLOOR OUTSIDE THE RING!

Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan then turn back around, coming face to face with each other one more time! The crowd loudly cheers as they look at each other before looking up above and seeing the briefcase up top… AND THEY START TO EXCHANGE STRIKES! Two former friends who seem to be warming up to each other but right now all that matters is winning the Money in the Bank briefcase! They are both evenly matched and neither of them has the edge… PIPER RETURNS TO THE RING OVERPOWERING BOTH!

Piper who was getting loud cheers for taking care of Nia Jax is now getting boos for stopping the Riott Squad battle in the ring. Piper grabs hold of one of the ladders and sets it up in the corner of the ring as a ladder bridge before turning to Liv Morgan! Piper grabs the smaller superstar up and hoists her over her shoulders… RUBY PULLS LIV MORGAN OFF PIPER AND SAVES HER FROM A BRUTAL IMPACT! Piper turns around as Ruby moves Piper to the side and goes for a RIOTT KICK… BUT PIPER CATCHES HER AND COUNTERS WITH A SPINNING SPINERBUSTER THROUGH THE LADDER BRIDGE!

Ruby is destroyed in the corner of the ring, with her saving Liv potentially costing her this match! Piper looks happy with the damage she has done… LIV MORGAN CATCHES HER WITH obLIVion! Piper falls to the mat and rolls out of the ring as Liv takes a moment before going over to Ruby and checking on her! Ruby is struggling to move but tells Liv to go climb and Liv does what she says, grabbing the ladder in the middle of the ring and setting it up before slowly ascending!

The crowd is loudly behind Liv who is getting closer and closer to the top… MILLIE MAKES IT BACK INTO THE RING!

Carmella rolls out of the ring due to the impact as Naomi gets back to her feet with a cocky smirk…MILLIE SPRINGS TO HER FEET AND CHARGES AT HER CONNECTING WITH A SPEAR THROUGH THE LADDER IN THE CORNER!

Millie gets to her feet wincing in pain slightly but looks towards the ladder and walks over ready to make the climb… EMBER MOON DIVES OFF A LADDER FROM OUTSIDE THE RING AND HITS MILLIE MCKENZIE WITH THE ECLIPSE! Another “HOLY SHIT” chant from the live crowd as Ember came from outta nowhere to take Millie out and now she smirks as she gets back to her feet and climbs up the ladder slowly smirking as she gets inches from the top… LIV MORGAN HAS CLIMBED ONTO HER BACK TRYING TO STOP HER!

Liv is grabbing hold of Ember Moon and stops her from grabbing the briefcase even looking to grab hold of it… BUT RE-POSITIONS AND TURNS AROUND ON TOP OF THE LADDER AS LIV TRIES TO REACH FOR THE BRIEFCASE… BUT EMBER SLAMS HER DOWN FROM THE LADDER WITH AN AVALANCHE SIT-OUT POWERBOMB! Liv is crushed on the mat as Ember smiles, happy with the damage done to her before turning back to the ladder as she slowly makes the climb… AND PULLS DOWN THE BRIEFCASE!

Winner: Ember Moon (21:43)

There are loud boos from the live crowd, but there is no doubt who Mrs. Money in the Bank is now. Ember Moon stands at the top of the ladder and raises the briefcase into the air, soaking in the boos from the fans with a smug look on her face as the camera pans around the ringside area to show the other 7 women laid out in all the wreckage around the ring.

Elias: Total and utter carnage.

Corey Graves: These women put everything they had on the line to walk out with the briefcase.

Elias: And if I was Asuka or Taynara Conti I would have eyes in the back of my neck.

Corey Graves: I mean, the same could be said for Rhea Ripley and Shayna Baszler tomorrow night too.

Ember Moon is now at the top of the entrance ramp and taunts the fans, telling Asuka to watch out before we cut elsewhere backstage!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

We cut to inside THE NEW DAY’S LOCKER as KOFI KINGSTON and BIG E are warming up ahead of their matches later in the show when XAVIER WOODS walks into the room with a big smile on his face holding his newly won Cruiserweight title. Both men stop their workout and turn to Woods grabbing hold of their friend and hugging him!

Big E: We are so proud of you.

Kofi Kingston: We knew this is what you were capable of and you showed the world that you are no weak link.

Xavier has a smile on his face looking down before locking eyes with his close friends.

Xavier Woods: Thank you, guys but I truly couldn’t do it without you two at my side having my back.

The trio share a hug once again before Kofi breaks it looking directly at Big E.

Kofi Kingston: We still have work to do to make sure we keep celebrating into the night.

Big E: You want me out there to stop any funny business?

Kofi shakes his head.

Kofi Kingston: Woods can be on standby in case of any funny business but you have your own match to focus on.

Big E nods and goes back to warming up whilst Kofi Kingston heads elsewhere!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

We cut back to the ring, as the 2021 Hall of Fame takes place with the following people being inducted into the Hall of Fame: Kane, Molly Holly, The Great Khali, RVD and Ozzy Osbourne! The crowd loudly cheers and shows respect to the legends before the Hall of Fame segment comes to an end and we cut backstage once again.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

We are now inside THE HURT BUSINESS’S LOCKER ROOM and the mood is very different to the New Day’s mood! SAMOA JOE is sat down in one corner of the room holding his WWE title whilst LIO RUSH is slumped in the corner now without his Cruiserweight title. EJ NDUKA is licking his wounds after the damage done to him in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal. Lastly, we can see SWERVE STRICKLAND with his Intercontinental title on his shoulder talking to MVP as he gives him instructions.

MVP: Listen, we had a rough start to the night but we can get things back on track next.

Swerve nods but noticeably looks directly at Lio Rush with a scowl.

Swerve Strickland: If someone had not messed things up focusing too much on Bobby, we might not be in this position.

Lio Rush gets to his feet upon hearing that from Swerve!

Lio Rush: I lost to the better man!

Swerve looks unimpressed by this but Rush carries on.

Lio Rush: He was the better man tonight but next time…

EJ Nduka: There wouldn’t need to be a next time if you did your job right and still had that Cruiserweight title around your waist.

Lio Rush: I don’t see you hold any gold big man, how did earlier go for you?

EJ grabs hold of Lio and picks him up prompting MVP to step in!

MVP: That is enough! This is not how businessmen conduct themselves.

EJ takes a moment before putting Lio Rush back on the floor. The former Cruiserweight Champion looks annoyed but dusts himself off. Swerve meanwhile turns to MVP.

Swerve Strickland: We are meant to run this brand and he let us down…

Samoa Joe steps forward and gets right in Swerve’s face!

Samoa Joe: So how about you go out there and show him how it is done big shot!

Joe and Swerve glare at each other before Swerve storms off towards the ring ahead of the 6th match of the night!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

*KINGSTON*

KOFI KINGSTON makes his way out getting loud cheers from the fans. He has a smile on his face and plays to the crowd before heading to the ring, looking quietly confident.

Michael Cole: Kofi Kingston two years ago rode the wave of KofiMania to become WWE Champion for the first time in his career, tonight he has the chance to become a 5-time Intercontinental Champion.

Elias: Xavier Woods started the night by winning the Cruiserweight title and bringing gold to the New Day. Can Kofi keep the run going?

*BIG PRESSURE*

SWERVE STRICKLAND makes his way out, slowly sauntering onto the entrance ramp with a scowl on his face and the Intercontinental title around his waist. The crowd loudly boos Swerve but he doesn’t care, eyes locked on Kofi Kingston.

Michael Cole: Swerve Strickland has been a tough challenge for people to beat as Intercontinental Champion but I think his ego might be getting out of control.

Elias: Swerve sees himself as the future but I wouldn’t recommend challenging Samoa Joe like he has at times.

Michael Cole: Also, only two men have pinned Swerve since he came to Raw and joined The Hurt Business: Drew McIntyre and Kofi Kingston!

Elias: Kofi pinned him in a tag team match; will he be able to do it when they collide one-on-one tonight?

Both men stand in the ring across from each other as the usual title announcements are done. Kofi remains calm whilst Swerve talks some trash to Kofi, promising to show he is truly the future as the referee calls for the bell to get the match underway!

Once the bell rings both men go after each other, trying to get the match off to a good start. They go for kicks and strikes but both manage to avoid the other's attacks before stopping by the ropes on opposite sides of the ring. Kofi has a slight smile, remaining calm, while Swerve has an angry, intense scowl on his face. Swerve charges at Kofi looking to go for a RUNNING KNEE BUT KOFI COUNTERS AND SENDS HIM TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING!

Swerve looks annoyed and it gets even worse as Kofi leaps to the top rope diving off to hit a PLANCHA TO THE OUTSIDE WIPING OUT SWERVE! The crowd cheers as Kofi grabs hold of Swerve and sends him into the ring post before rolling him back to the ring. Kofi climbs up to the top rope hitting a DIVING BODY SPLASH! Kofi stays on for the cover 1 2 Swerve kicks out! Kofi has a smile on his face and signals to the count he is going for an early BOOM DROP…

JUMPING SUPERKICK STOPPING KOFI IN HIS TRACKS! Swerve makes the cover 1 2 Kofi kicks out! Swerve for the first time this match starts to smile and grabs hold of Kofi working on him on the mat.

The camera cuts back to Kofi one final before we cut elsewhere backstage to see…

---------------------------------------------------------------------

TAYNARA CONTI is sitting backstage deep in thought. She is soon interrupted by KAYLA BRAXTON looking for an interview!

Kayla Braxton: Taynara, tonight you have the biggest match of your career as you try to defeat Asuka to become WWE Women’s Champion. How are you feeling?

Conti sighs before answering.

Taynara Conti: Nervous but I think there would be something wrong with me if I wasn’t.

She smiles looking at Kayla.

Taynara Conti: When I fought Asuka at the Royal Rumble, I knew I was capable of beating her. I pushed her to the limit but I just missed out.

Conti’s eyes are full of fire looking directly at Kayla.

Taynara Conti: I now know what it takes to take her down and I will walk out of here with the WWE Women’s title…

???: I wouldn’t be so sure.

The camera pans over to show EMBER MOON standing there with her newly won Money in the Bank briefcase.

Ember Moon: Last year at WrestleMania, I beat Asuka. I showed the world that I was better than her and anyone else. Ever since I lost that title, people have forgotten how good I am, but thanks to this…

Ember taps the briefcase with a smug smirk on her face.

Ember Moon: Everyone is going to remember very soon. So even if you by some miracle beat Asuka, I’ll be waiting.

Ember walks off with a wicked smile on her face whilst Conti looks furious and shakes her head.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

We cut to the video package which shows us how we got to this point with Edge feuding with Roman Reigns and the Bloodline. We next see The Usos make their return to Smackdown wiping out Heavy Machinery and injuring Rey’s son Dominik Mysterio. We also get clips of Edge and Rey Mysterio working together in recent times, as well as in the past, before showing The Usos proclaiming they are the best tag team of all time, ending the video package.

*BOOYAKA 619*

REY MYSTERIO makes his way out first getting loud cheers from the live crowd. He is dressed in Superman-inspired attire tonight and touches the mask with a few of the kids in the front few rows, staying at the top of the entrance ramp, though waiting for his tag team partner.

Byron Saxton: One important lesson in life is never to mess with a man’s son.

Corey Graves: I would say the bigger lesson would be to not cross the Bloodline.

Byron Saxton: The Usos attacked them not the other way around.

Corey Graves: The Mysterios were in the way of The Usos getting back into the tag team picture and therefore they crossed The Bloodline in Roman’s eyes.

*METALINGUS*

EDGE makes his way out getting loud cheers from the live crowd, in all Black with a smile on his face and does his normal entrance for the live crowd. He joins Rey at the top of the entrance ramp and the pair share a hug with each other.

Byron Saxton: Well for Edge, The Bloodline kept costing him matches against Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu leading to Edge looking for some payback.

Corey Graves: The thing is, Edge and Rey until a month ago had not teamed up in several years. The Usos are twins and have been teaming up week in and week out for nearly a decade.

Byron Saxton: That is a fair point but Edge and Rey have a long history of winning tag team gold with different partners over the years.

Corey Graves: Two tag team specialists, will that be enough for one of the greatest teams of all time?

*DONE WITH THAT (DAY ONE REMIX)*

THE USOS make their way out holding the WWE tag team titles in the air, soaking in the boos as the 8-time tag team champions have a cocky smirk on their face. JEY USO is more fired-up as they walk towards the ring with JIMMY USO keeping calm behind him.

Byron Saxton: We may not like their recent choices and their aligning with their cousin Roman Reigns but it is hard to deny how good they are as a tag team.

Corey Graves: They choose their family over the fans, seems like an easy choice to me.

Byron Saxton: I mean Roman has shown to be a ruthless monster since he joined the Corporation at Summerslam 2019 and will use anyone to get what he wants.

Corey Graves: Roman is doing what he feels he needs to as the Tribal Chief and the one responsible for his family!

Ciampa drops Drew McIntyre to the mat and gets into it with the referee as Michael Cole says Ciampa’s desperation to put down Drew is becoming clear! Ciampa tells the referee to do their job then and fix the turnbuckle. The referee takes the bait as Ciampa quickly goes out of the ring to grab a STEEL CHAIR! He slides into the ring as the crowd boos with Ciampa about to crack it over the back of Drew McIntyre… DREW LOW BLOWS CIAMPA TO LOUD CHEERS FROM THE LIVE CROWD!

Winner via pinfall: Drew McIntyre (18:11)

Loud cheers from the live crowd as Drew McIntyre gets back to his feet, wincing slightly. The referee lifts his arm into the air whilst Tommaso Ciampa is out cold on the mat!

Michael Cole: Drew McIntyre has defeated Tommaso Ciampa tonight!

Elias: Tommaso tried every trick in the book but could not defeat the sinister Scotsman!

Michael Cole: Drew showed he was happy to get down and dirty with Tommaso, using the former NXT Champion’s tricks against him.

Elias: A big win for Drew and you have to think that puts him back on track for a shot at the WWE title.

Tommaso Ciampa is back to his feet and is not happy as he argues with the referee, pointing towards his crotch pointing out the low blow from Drew. The referee just shrugs, lacking any sympathy for Tommaso Ciampa.

Elias: I don’t think Tommaso has earned any right to moan about the referee’s call but it is time for us to focus on our penultimate match of the evening!

Michael Cole: Let’s see how Taynara Conti got to this stage and earned the opportunity to fight Asuka for the WWE Women’s title!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

We cut to a video showing Asuka and Taynara Conti battling each other for the WWE Women’s title at the Royal Rumble with Conti pushing Asuka to the limit. Asuka would praise Conti after the match but Conti says she knew she could beat Asuka if she got another shot. We see Conti’s run inside the Elimination Chamber and stunning Ember Moon to win the match. We then finish off the video package showing the weeks of TV leading up to the match and Conti looking to prove she can compete with the best whilst Asuka dismisses her.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

*SHAKE SHAKE*

TAYNARA CONTI makes her way out with the Brazilian flag draped behind her and in Brazilian-inspired make-up. She gets a loud pop from the live crowd and slaps hands with a few of the kids in the front row, looking slightly nervous.

Byron Saxton: Tonight is the biggest night of Conti’s career. She has the chance to silence the doubters including Asuka and become WWE Women’s Champion.

Corey Graves: So few women have managed to defeat the Empress: Charlotte Flair, Carmella, Becky Lynch, Ember Moon and Shayna Baszler.

Byron Saxton: All former Women’s Champions in their own right.

Corey Graves: Can Conti become one herself tonight?

*THE FUTURE (V2)*

ASUKA walks out in her full regalia, with her signature entrance mask covering her face at first. She holds the WWE Women’s title high in the air before taking off the mask and giving us her devilish smirk.

Byron Saxton: Asuka has been seen as a near-unstoppable force in the Women’s division at times.

Corey Graves: Unbeaten during her time in NXT and won the first-ever women’s Royal Rumble match!

Byron Saxton: With it also being the only one she has ever competed in to boot. But Conti might have a chance if Asuka takes her lightly tonight.

Corey Graves: Asuka takes everyone lightly though Bryon, she doesn’t think anyone is ready for her and sometimes I think the Empress might be right!

Asuka steps into the ring, smirking in a cocky fashion as she looks directly at Conti in the ring with her tonight. The usual title announcements are done before the referee calls for the bell to get the 9th match of the evening underway!

The bell rings as both women stare each other down for the first few seconds. Conti doesn’t want to make a mistake whilst Asuka is smirking, more than happy to take her time crushing Conti’s dreams. The WWE Women’s Champion almost beckons Conti to attack her and taunts her by pointing at her cheek but Conti keeps her cool instead of going to grapple with The Empress. Both women vie for control in the middle of the ring and it is the champion who looks to be winning… UNTIL CONTI COUNTERS INTO A JUDO THROW TO THE MAT!

Conti transitions on the mat and looks to go for an ARMBAR… BUT ASUKA GETS HER OTHER ARM ON THE ROPES! Conti keeps the hold on till the count of 2 before backing away from Asuka.

Samoa Joe finishes the job for the Hurt Business and the group stands atop Raw. We get clips of promos from The Hurt Business talking about how the way to make it to the top is being all about business. We get clips of The New Day talking in response and saying friendship is what is truly the way to the top as we get clips of Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston’s wins earlier tonight before the final face-off between Joe and Big E with Joe saying Big E will have to fight alone at WrestleMania and he will fall!
