AIRED LIVE ON NET NETWORK
Advertisers: Michael Cole, Corey Graves, Renee Young
[HOUR ONE]
– They Opened Stephanie McMahon's door theme, while Cole, Young and Graves tell the story of Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman, Batista and Stephanie's great ad.
-Stephanie expresses and declares that she can not believe that they are only six days away from WrestleMania. She said that the main Triple Threat event was about to become bigger. She added that she was adding to the fourth competitor. Then she said that it was an April prank joke. She said that for the first time in 35 years, women would be the main event of WrestleMania. She added that the news was that "all titles would be on the line". (I think that meant "both female titles.")
(Keller's badysis: it was short and it went straight to the point.)
– The scene turned around the match of six women against Riott Squad against Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch & Ronda Rousey. He added that if one of the women of the main event WM35 betrayed their partners, they could not participate in the WM tournament.
(Keller's badysis: if Charlotte leaves the match later, that's her title … still on the line?)
-Lesnar and Heyman headed for the ring. Heyman had an extra dose of temerity marching alongside Lesnar. He seemed to channel Jerry Lewis saying, "Ladies and gentlemen." He stated that it was a poetic justice that Stephanie used the phrase "the winner takes everything". He said Lesnar would be the winner who would win everything Seth Rollins had to offer. He said that he would take the best shot of Seth, and then all he had in life "because that's what Brock Lesnar does to the people of WrestleMania." He stated that Brock was seizing the moment at WrestleManias and defining his own legacy and history at the expense of his opponents. . He quoted Roman Reigns. He said this Sunday that it will be the same for Seth. He said that Lesnar would rap Seth and desecrate the name of WrestleMania. He says his foot will be on Seth's chest and his title will still be over his head. "Lesnar is going to set the saying that says life is not what you want, that's what you'll do with it." he and Brock will have dinner and discuss the next steps of his career. He said Seth was just an afterthought for Brock.
Seth's music paused. Lesnar snarled at Seth who was heading for the ring. Seth entered the ring and Cole said that Seth did not seem in phase. He said it was the biggest game of their career. He said that everything changed for Lesnar after WM, as he lost his weight after losing. "Nobody wants you here," he said. He said he did not want him, neither "the locker room" nor the fans. Lesnar burst out laughing as fans chanted "Burn it down!" Seth said that he was taking his title and that he could absolutely do nothing about it. Lesnar laughed at Seth, then started to get out of the ring. When Lesnar examined Seth lightly on his shoulders, Seth kicked him in the crotch and pushed him away. Lesnar gave him a big suplex and pbaded for an F5. Seth escaped and gave him another low blow. Then came the Stomp. Seth grabbed the universal title and lifted it, then threw it at Lesnar. Cole asked if Seth would end Lesnar's hold on the universal title at WrestleMania. When the camera zoomed in on Lesnar, Cole said that they would try to talk to Seth after the break.
(Keller's badysis: Everyone was fine here.) Lesnar, in particular, does not receive enough praise for his body language and facial expressions, so he communicates so much without saying a word. has sparked fans' enthusiasm, but what does it mean? It took two low blows to get the upper hand on Lesnar. Do they still protect Lesnar while giving Seth an In stride, what does this portend?) [c]
-Background Charlie Caruso told Seth when he was doing what he had just done at WM he would get DQ & D and would not have become a champion. He said that Lesnar had planned and that he was not yet a champion
(1) SASHA BANKS & BAYLEY & NATALYA & BETH PHOENIX vs. THE IICONICS (Billie Kaye & Peyton Royce) & NIA JAX & TAMINA
The teams of heels were in the ring. The ring entrances for babyface teams have been broadcast. Graves said that Beth's workout videos on YouTube were impressive and that she had not lost a step. Phoenix scored in a few minutes in the match against Kaye. She propelled Kaye into the air. When Sasha and Bayley came in to fend off the interferences of the other stubs, Phoenix said that she had everything under control and that she had become snippy. They cut at a break. [c]
When the IIconics took over, Tamina and Nia dropped to the floor and refused to identify. Kaye shouted at them, leaving Bayley a second to recover and touch Sasha. Phoenix knocked Sasha out of the ring apron and tagged herself. Graves said Phoenix was not going to let Sasha steal the show. Phoenix rallied to Royce, but Tamina pulled the rope and Beth fell to the ground. Phoenix was standing and looking furious, then approached Tamina through the barricade near the guardian time zone. They were both slow to get up. Fans began to chant: "You always have it!" Royce threw Phoenix into the ring and slapped her several times. Phoenix blocked one and then gave him Glam Slam for the victory.
WINNERS: Phoenix & Natalya & Sasha & Bayley at 12:00.
(Keller's badysis: good work to give the impression that the teams are Phoenix was meant to be really strong, although it takes a little more of the peculiarity of seeing her in action on Raw as this in a long time before WM.)
– It was shown to Batista that he was coming out of a limo in the garage. [c]
-Batista entered the ring. They showed a brief excerpt from Triple H putting his career on the line in their match against WM. Batista stood in the middle of the ring and paced. There was a little welcome song. He pointed to the big screen. A video package released on Triple H vs. Batista over the years. Batista pinned Triple H as the sound of Batista was airing saying, "Triple H did nothing else than beat me." Batista removed his sunglbades, examined the camera and said, "Hunter, kiss my bad. "He dropped the microphone, put on his sunglbades and moved away.
(Keller's badysis: It's hard to forget your lines when you only have one) This worked quite well, but it seems perhaps inspired by the scathing answer from Angle last week on Raw.)
-Renee emitted the last appearance of Raw in Kurt Angle [c]
-They showed postcard scenes from Washington DC Then they showed Elias at the entrance to the MetLife stadium, he said he would not have He added that the fans are going to silence their mobile phones, hold their applause and close their mouths, he dropped some of the names that played MetLife and he said that no one will would talk about it after his performance.He said that he would steal the show with his WrestleMania moment.
(2) JINDER MAHAL vs. APOLLO CREWS
EC3, Jose No Way, The Ascension, Lucha House Party, Rhyno, Heath Slater, B-Team, Tyler Breeze, The Singh Brothers and Titus O Neal were at the edge of the ring. Renee said winning the game can boost the rest of your year. She quoted Baron Corbin. Jinder was quick to settle in a side block. Everyone must be afraid that he will do it so early in his games, when no one does it anymore because that's what the lazy wrestlers did to pbad the time in the 1970s when non-televised events. Graves predicted that Michael Che would be the winner of the royal battle. He called his hot plug. Crews won with a frog splash.
WINNER: Crews in 1:30.
– After that, Crews posed in front of the André Trophy. The other wrestlers came in and tried to pose with the trophy. A fight broke out with everyone. Cole said it was a preview of Sunday.
(Keller's badysis: If anyone was enthusiastic about the royal battle before, there was no one left.This also diminishes Braun Strowman, none other than of great importance. entered this royal battle, apparently.)
-They showed Angle in conversation with Rey Mysterio behind the scenes. [c]
-They showed a tweet from Yolanda Adams announcing that she would perform "America the Beautiful" at WrestleMania.
-Angle headed for the ring. Cole said it was his last trip to the ring with Raw in his career. Angle said he has heard criticism and encouragement in his career. He thanked the fans from the heart. Fans chanted, "Thanks, Kurt!"
[HOUR TWO]
– A video package broadcast on Kurt Angle's career with sound clips of John Cena, Randy Orton, Big Show, Ric Flair, Mick Foley and Steve Austin. Back in live, the fans chanted "Thank you, Kurt." Baron Corbin is then out. Graves said he lived in the rain during parades of others. Corbin said sarcastically that he was sorry to have interrupted a walk in the memory. He said he did not know who made the video, but it should have been in black and white because it's an old story. He said the man in the ring was struggling to take off his jacket and could not fight for more than a few minutes without blowing. He said that today's Superstars are simply better than him and he can not hang on, "especially me.", He added, he starts to be irritated by the fans who fill his social media, claiming that Angle deserves someone better than his last opponent of the WWE. Some "Cena" songs could be heard. Corbin said that they could sing whatever they wanted, but that would not change anything. He added that they should forget the man they saw in the video because the last picture they will see is a ripped old man, lying on his back this Sunday. Boos.
Angle announced that they were going to fight each other on Sunday, but since it's his last night on Raw, what about organizing an exhibition match tonight? Corbin went to the ring and said it was Angle's intensity, but not his intelligence, because if he entered the ring now, Angle would not go to WrestleMania. Rey went out to listen to his music. Corbin entered the ring. Rey told Corbin if he would not fight Kurt tonight, that's fine, but someone must give him a lesson in respect. "And you and I throw it instead?" He said. Corbin said that he would not do that. He fired a shot at Rey. Angle hit Corbin and went to get a suplex. Corbin blocked him, but Rey plunged on him. Angle then gave Corbin an Angle Slam. Corbin rolled on the floor. Corbin escaped when fans chanted "You fear! You suck! "
(Keller 's badysis: simple and effective, I attribute to them the merit of being attacked with the backlash against Corbin, who was his adversary and who does not know who he is. The Angle video was nice, I liked the relationship between content in the ring instead of comedy segments.)
-Caruso interviewed Charlotte behind the scenes She asked if she was afraid to put her title on the line at WM Charlotte is thrilled to have beaten Asuka and on Sunday she will be looking at the world, just as she beat Asuka when she Rousey chooses.Charlie said that she had changed the game again and that "the winner takes everything" means she.Caruso said that she had to coexist with Becky and Rousey first. asked Charlotte if she lost her temper Charlotte said she was not as attractive as Becky or a loose gun Rousey said that after the match, Ronda and Becky had better stay away from her otherwise they would not be able to get to WrestleMania. "Wooo!" She says.
– The entrance to the Ricochet ring took place. Then Aleister Black's. [c]
(3) THE REVIVAL Vs. RICOCHET & ALEISTER BLACK – Raw Team Title Match
The entrance to the Revival ring has not been broadcast. Mike Rome made official presentations. Cole said Black & Ricochet also had a chance to win the NXT team titles on Friday at NXT Takeover. He said it could be an important week for them to win here and win there. They paused a few minutes after Black entered. [c]
The Revival was under control after the break. In the end, all four fought at the ring. Dash gave Black a tornado of DDT on the ground. Ricochet tilted the dove over the top tensioner on Revival at the edge of the ring. Dawson hid under the ring and tugged on Ricochet's leg as he tried to beat the count in the ring. The referee counted it. After that, Black landed Black Mbad on Dash and Dawson, then Ricochet won his 630.
WINNERS: The Revival via countout in 12:00 to retain the Raw Tag Team titles.
(Keller badysis: good match Good finish to put pressure on the heels to get a cheap counting victory to keep their titles.)
-Cole announces that Rey is will fight Raw for the first time in almost five years when he will face Corbin later on the show. Young said Bobby Lashley would respond to rumors of "The Demon" at WrestleMania. Graves again scrambled the match of the six ladies
-Caruso approached Rousey. She said she did not want to talk tonight, she wanted to fight. She then spoke not to worry about the stipulations of the match, she won Sunday. She added that if they were provoking her tonight, the night of judgment would be tonight.
-They showed Roman Reigns behind the scenes. [c]
– Braun Strowman, Michael Che and Colin Jost were shown last week on Raw.
– Alexandra Bliss told Tyler Breeze that she loved her new hairstyle. EC3 was standing next to him. She said she was doing a good job at WrestleMania. She was awarded for the main women's competition, with Kofi Kingston winning a WWE title match and the Andre the Giant Royal Battle featuring Jost and Che. Breeze said they are fashionable and funny. EC3 burst out laughing and entered Braun. He asked what was so funny. EC3 and Breeze pointed to two people in the lobby and said they were laughing at Weekend Update. Braun rushed to them and said they would "take those hands" for that.
(Keller Analysis: EC3 Speaks! The new look of Breeze, which debuted during the WWE Main Event broadcast last week, is a good improvement They could be a good tag team if that's where they are heading.)
-Caruso interviewed Reigns behind the scenes. Mix of cries and a few scattered boos. She asked Drew McIntyre. She asked for rumors that he might not be 100%. Reigns asked who invented the rumors. He said that he is 100% healthy. Drew then attacked him. He hammered away from him. Drew said that he should have said no. "I want you to see my face when you close your eyes at night," said Drew. They showed Reigns who was struggling to stand for about ten seconds.
– The Riott Brigade entered the ring. [c]
-A Smackdown ad says Kofi will sign the contract for his WWE title match at WrestleMania, as well as Randy Orton and A.J. The styles will go head-to-head at the Kevin Owens Show.
– Backstage Caruso interviewed Becky Lynch. She said she would leave the MetLife stadium as the first female champion of Raw and Smackdown. She called Charlotte "a wooden doll". She called Rousey "a little weird". She said that she started the Rousey Gods complex a few months ago and that she went into her head. She said tonight that she was forcing her to partner with Rousey and Charlotte and that she was hoping to lose her so she could get her out of the WM match. She said that she was so far away with the McMahon against her and that the only way to make sure they could not sink her after WM was to win the gold medal on the biggest stage of all . She says her opponents want to make history, but that she has no choice but to do it.
(4) BECKY LYNCH & CHARLOTTE FLAIR and RONDA ROUSEY against the RIOTT lawn (Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan)
Lynch entered the ring. Then Charlotte entered the ring. Becky turned her back on Charlotte when she entered. Then Rousey came in and Becky introduced herself and smiled. Charlotte walked in front of them and said they were all talking. Charlotte opened against Riott, then Becky got in. When Charlotte got angry, Becky made fun of Charlotte slapping her. They cut at an early break. [c]
Rousey burst out laughing when Logan took over Becky. Graves said that Becky saw the fact that the WWE universe was buzzing around her. He said that Becky was talking, but did not consider these words in the ring and this is her challenge to WM. When Renee called him for telling him she was wading, Graves said Renee was "as bad as the Internet" because he took one of his words out of context. He then, curiously, repeated that he thought Becky was swaying. Becky has made a comeback. Charlotte is tagged inside. While they were chatting, Rousey was inserted. Becky and Charlotte left the ring while Cole said they are fuel elements. Rousey then placed Morgan in an armband to win the tapout victory.
WINNERS: Rousey & Charotte & Becky
– Immediately after the ring, Rousey attacked Charlotte with fists in the neck and a barrage of punches. Becky pulled Charlotte's Rousey and followed her. Rousey climbed Becky. All three fights. The security guys have entered the ring. The women beat them. False cops came in, all with shirts that had clearly never been worn or even washed. Rousey was handcuffed. Becky has been selected. Becky was released and attacked Rousey. Becky was handcuffed then. As usual, Charlotte had left the heckle and watched from a distance, but then attacked Rousey. The cops also handcuffed him. She managed to kick Becky in the face. Graves said it was unfortunate that this had happened. "The main event of WrestleMania is handcuffed tonight!" Said Cole. Renee said it was out of place. The women continued to try to break free and shouted after the cops. Cole asked if everyone could imagine what it would be when the ring is subject to the triple threat rule. Charlotte trampled the cops' feet and screamed. Rousey shouted that she was paying their salaries.
They replayed the highlights and then showed Charlotte that she was putting it in the back of a police car. Rousey kicked Becky. At a decisive moment, Becy and Ronda were placed at the back of the same unmarked car. They started kicking. They broke the window. Charlotte got out of the other car and started kicking Becky again. Rousey then requisitioned the unmarked car and drove it into the other car of the team. She was put in the back of the car that had the broken window. Becky was put back in the car of the group. Charlotte kicked Rousey's head, who held her head out of the window. The cars left with Rousey and Becky, while Charlotte was left behind and shouted at the police to get rid of her.
(Keller's badysis: Yes, it was as silly and stupid as that, but that I'm not sure that's the tone they should follow, but it's so hard to to include fake policemen and to show it in. Obviously, in real life, these three people would be in prison well beyond Sunday if they resisted arrest and attacked the police as they had been. I'm just grateful that there's no dashboard that the WWE producers could magically cut off. Other than that, they seemed like those three are going to rip apart at the main event, so stay tuned. in the eight hours of WM to see how it all goes in the main event.) [c]
-They replayed what happened. Cole said Rousey would be scheduled for the Today Show this Thursday, but that they did not know her legal situation.
(5) HEAVY MACHINERY (Otis & Tucker) vs. BOBBY ROODE & CHAD GABLE [19659004] Graves likened Heavy Machinery's antics to Bushwakers. Cole said that Otis was "a guy who likes to have fun, who likes to entertain, but does not make fun of him." Lacey Evans listened briefly to her music and the match was temporarily interrupted. Otis almost fell after his caterpillar. Gable jumped from the top rope, but Otis caught him. Tucker then jumped on Otis' back with his Compactor finisher to win the victory. Roode seemed dismayed by Gable's blocking.
WINNERS: Heavy Machinery in 3:00
– A video film was aired on Kofi Kingston. [c]
(6) BRAUN STROWMAN vs. TWO MECS OF THE HALL
Braun threw the two guys that EC3 and Breeze had set up earlier.
WINNER: Braun.
-They showed a graph that showed that Roode, Gable, Rusev, Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, Mustafa Ali were also present in the royal battle of Andrew.
-Lio Rush and Bobby Lashley came on the scene. [c]
-The advertisers talked about WrestleMania's week-long lineup, including Smackdown and Miz & Mrs's return on USA Network on Tuesday, NXT Takeover on Friday, Saturday's Hall of Fame and WrestleMania on Sunday. from 5 ET with the launch show. The second hour of the show will be broadcast on USA Network.
-Caruso interviewed Lashley and Rush in the ring. She released a Finn Balor clip that won last week to win her IC title match at WM. Caruso asked them if they had any concerns about Sunday as Balor beat the odds last week. Rush said it was a stroke of luck, and Balor did not even pin Lashley. Rush said Lashley would not have to deal with Jinder Mahal's dead weight. He did a search at the DC and had boos. Caruso inquired about rumors that Balor's alter-ego, The Demon at WM. Lashley said that they were only one and that he could hit Balor, so he could hit The Demon. Balor appeared on the big screen and said that Lashley should be worried. Balor said he had always had demons and that at WrestleMania his demon would be his nightmare. Then he turned into a demon. Cole wished Lashley good luck because The Demon was approaching for his IC title.
-Graves noted that Corbin versus Rey was preparing soon. [c]
-They showed Gronk at WrestleMania two years ago by defeating Jinder.
(7) REY MYSTERIO AGAINST BARON CORBIN
While Rey came to the ring, Cole asked to see. go to WWENetwork.com to register for free at WrestleMania for new subscribers. Advertisers commented on WrestleMania's best matches, on-screen graphics showing different matches. With Rey at the controls, they reduced the break to a few minutes. [c]
Corbin dominated after the break. When he looked for Rey's mask, Cole asked if there could be something more embarrbading and humiliating than the fact that Rey was unmasked. (Does anything look less sincere, more empty and ridiculous than when Cole recites this line robinically every time someone looks for Rey's mask?) Rey finally made a back in force and went for a top rope, but Corbin moved. Corbin then gave Rey a Deep Six for the account 3.
WINNER: Corbin at 9 o'clock
– Subsequently, at the celebration of Corbin, Angle attacked him and put him in a lock at the ankle.
(Keller's Analysis: What a flat finish for the WM hype.) It was just weird.Corbin beats a favorite of Smackdown fans and is then put in an ankle lock.)
-They showed an excerpt of what happened with Rousey, Charlotte and Becky. Cole stated that they had been arrested and that WWE.com was following the story. He made one last appearance in the main main event of the WM35.
