In footage from earlier today, Tom Hannifan meets with Steve Maclin and tries to reason with him. Maclin tells Hannifan to talk to management so he can get in the building and tell his side of the story, then leaves after Hannifan says he will see what he can do.

Mike Santana heads to the ring. Santana mentions Steve Maclin trying to sneak attack him at No Surrender because he was not man enough to meet him face to face, and tells Maclin that he knows him better than anyone in the back and knows what he is trying to do. He knows that Maclin knows him, too, and if Maclin knocks on Death's door, Death will answer and step to him like a man before dropping him. Santana admits his head was on a swivel when he asked Slater if he had his back and Slater told him that he did, what with Daria Rae getting in his head about Option C, then admits that he did not have Slater's and left him by himself. Santana apologizes for that, and both men shake hands, and says that if Moose did not even the odds, things would have happened differently, but Slater pinned a former World Champion. Slater does not blame Santana for what happened, for this is professional wrestling at the end of the day, then mentions that he pinned "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth, who suddenly heads to the ring with his brother "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth. Ryan speaks, but Santana threatens to make Ryan swallow his microphone in the fans. Nic says Slater got lucky at No Surrender and now has a target on his back thanks to him, but Santana says that was not luck and that Slater is one of the best in the world. Nic says Slater and Santana were the better man, but he is the best man and the draw around here. Slater proposes that he and Santana have a tag team match with The Nemeths right here, right now. Daria Rae shows up and declares that she makes the matches, not the wrestlers, and that this match will not happen tonight. He says that she will squeeze them in next week if they are lucky, then tells everyone to get out of the ring for the next match.



Backstage, we hear from The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson, Cedric Alexander). Brian Myers mentions that Moose could not stay away at No Surrender and made a huge statement, but he made a huge mistake.

Backstage, Frankie Kazarian meets with Daria Rae and asks to be part of commentary for The Nemeths ("The Wanted Man" Nic and "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth) vs. Mike Santana and Leon Slater next week. Daria allows it.

Before the next match, Arianna Grace proclaims that No Surrender was amazing, and that while TNA's best was on display, everyone was talking about her at the end of the night after she walked out TNA Knockouts World Champion. She tells the fans to accept it, then says that she has heard all the hate and all the whispers, and while her father Director of Authority Santino Marella got her the match, she was the one to win the title, and she admits that she played Santino like a fiddle. Arianna tells those who think she does not deserve this that she does, and says that wrestling is not just about being tough, but also about leverage, power and using what you have to get what you want, and she got everything. She then declares that Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo will use his rematch clause to win back the TNA International Championship and become part of the biggest power couple in wrestling.

Trey Miguel retains the TNA International Championship (now with a neon green leather strap) against Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo despite the distraction from Arianna Grace. After the match, TNA President Carlos Silva personally places the TNA International Championship around Trey's waist.



As per the Bioflex Injury Report: BDE is cleared despite dealing with neck issues from Eric Young's piledriver at No Surrender. Jeff Hardy is banged up and will not be cleared for action until next week. Elijah is cleared despite his triceps still not being at 100%.

Backstage, Eric Young forces a cameraman to let him deliver a message. Eric Young says that he will cleanse TNA of the false prophets, liars, cheats, thieves and bandits, either by his hand or someone else's. He says Leon Slater is among them, and says that Slater is seeking validation from the wrong people and wrecking TNA's legacy, and that he has to step in and fix this and channel the truth. He says that the second phase of "the cleanse" is saving the X Division, and dares someone to stop him.

Jody Threat beats Tessa Blanchard by disqualification after she is suddenly attacked by Victoria Crawford. After the match, Blanchard, Victoria and Mila Moore gang up on Jody Threat and attack her, with Blanchard telling Jody she will never be on their level. Myla Grace and Harley Hudson make the save for Jody Threat, and Blachard, Victoria and Mila Moore simply walk away.

Sinner and Saint (Travis Wiliams and Judas Icarus) beat BDE and Rich Swann. Both teams shake hands after the match.

Mance jumps AJ Francis' personal security, then Steph goes in and AJ Francis' dressing room. Steph confronts AJ, then Mance goes in and punches AJ, and security has to break up the brawl.

Backstage, we hear from The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy). Matt Hardy warns The System that if they come for the GOATs, they will get the horns, as does Jeff, then The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson, Cedric Alexander) show up. The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) show up after Jeff says that he and Matt will not get laid out this time. Vincent says nature always balances itself, and Dutch is ready for a fight. Brian Myers mentions that there is still so mistrust between The Righteous and The Hardys before The System leaves. Dutch apologizes for the miscommunication at No Surrender and will continue to apologize until The Hardys regain their trust. Jeff appreciates the timing, and Matt apologizes before he and Jeff leave. Vincent tells Dutch that Daria Rae will ensure they get their foot in the door before it closes.

Elayna Black heads to the ring. Elayna says she was so close to a Knockouts title shot before Mara Sadé stole her moment, then proclaims that everyone is out for her. She states that at the end of the day, she is the only one who should have walked out with the title. She says that Mara Sadé taking that title shot from her when she is the only one who matters is absolutely sickening to her, and wants Mara Sadé to explain herself before stating that the Knockouts title will be hers. Mara Sadé shows up and mentions that the two of them have a shared history, but Elayna says the big difference between them is that she sacrificed on the indies to get here while Mara Sadé was handed the opportunity to be a pro wrestler. She says that she earned this, and that regardless of who is in her way, she will be Knockouts Champion while Mara Sadé will continue to be an obvious industry plant who does not deserve a single second here. Mara Sadé says Elayna hates her because the industry did not break her, and tells Elayna to prove she is a fraud if she wants to expose her. Elayna calls Mara Sadé another step in the obstacle course that she will overcome.

Jon Moxley beats Mark Davis in an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match by submission with the bulldog choke.



In backstage footage after Grand Slam Australia, "Hangman" Adam Page says that Andrade is one of the best, but his best was not good enough. He hopes MJF is watching, because he will ruin any idea has has of a happy future, and tells MJF to pray that he does not win, for he will come after him and take his title.

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Stokely Hathaway head to the ring. Dax says he has been wracking his brain trying to understand why The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) attacked them from behind only to realize that in 2016, they were the best tag team in the world and even coined the FTR name. He then says that The Young Bucks are now in second place behind them. Stokely says the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, which is where they are with The Young Bucks. He says that this pisses him off and that it all pisses him off that The Young Bucks shook hands with The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz and Myron Reed) and Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) even though they forced Private Party out of the company. Stokely says there is hypocrisy in the situation and states that they hate their coworkers so much it is overwhelming. As Stokely mentions how much he hates The Young Bucks' family, The Young Bucks superkick FTR before confronting Stokely. The Young Bucks superkick Stokely before mentioning that they are #1 contenders for the AEW World Tag Team Championships, and throw down the challenge for the titles at Revolution.

"Hangman" Adam Page heads to the ring. He is soon joined by MJF. MJF makes it clear to Hangman that he hates his guts as well as everything about him and the fans actually thinking he is anywhere near his level and that he is the main character when it is really MJF. MJF also hates the "Cowboy Shit" chant and the fact that Hangman holds two wins over him, and says that Hangman is "a lucky shot" who is nowhere near better than him. He then says that something is off about Hangman and that he can smell it, and says that Hangman is in his own head after being at the top of the mountain twice only to crumble under pressure. MJF then proposes that if Hangman were to become world champion and crumble a third time, he would be exposed as a fraud, and while he feels Hangman is a lucky shot, he is all out of bullets, and he looks forward to ending "the myth of Hangman and his cowboy shit." Hangman says that the fans carried him to the World Championship, especially as he beat the dogshit out of MJF. He says that if anyone is a lucky shot, it is the man who had a guaranteed shot and sat on it until he waited until the last second, kicked him in the balls, and collected the spoils of greater men. Hangman says that as much as MJF hates him, he hates MJF worse, not just because of his lies and deceit, but because he has never met someone more like him. He says that MJF is desperate for love and acceptance and wants to make his mark, which reminds MJF of himself. He says that he wants to end this for good at Revolution, and that MJF also feels that they cannot have a regular wrestling match. Hangman tells MJF to think of a stipulation, then lets the fans think of what the match should be. MJF says Hangman is out of his mind if he wants something other than a regular wrestling match. Hangman says he knew MJF would says that because he is scared and a coward, and agrees to give his word that if he does not win, then he will never challenge for the World Championship ever again. MJF tells Hangman that he has a deal, but as far as his stipulation goes, he thinks things through, and he needs a week to think over his stipulation, as he does not shoot first and ask questions later like Hangman. Hangman then tells MJF that he already has his answer: Texas Death.



We hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia). PAC says that The Don Callis Family is not like them, and challenges them to a match at Collision. Daniel Garcia says that "family" is just a title for The Don Callis Family and not something that they are willing to die for. Moxley says he is not done with Konosuke Takeshita and that at Revolution, there will be no time limit and that one person will get the other for as long as it takes.

The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy and Tomohiro Ishii) beat Gabe Kidd and Clark Connors after Darby Allin attacks Gabe Kidd in the crowd with a skateboard to the back and carries him off.

"The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada shows up and says he is here to do his job because he is a champion, unlike Takeshita, and brings out Andrade, who says that his eyes are on the AEW World Championship. Don Callis then says the CMLL World Championship would look good on The Don Callis Family's mantle.

We hear from Hook, who says that his first order of business as The Opps' new boss is to get numbers up. He says that he has sent Katsuyori Shibata back to Japan for international recruiting while he recruits back at home. He also says that he is the greatest second-generation wrestler of all time.

The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) beat Viva Van and B3CCA.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Thunder Rosa and Kris Statlander. Statlander says she may not be cleared to wrestle, but she wants to fight, and she is not done with Thekla after what she did to her. Thunder Rosa says that since Statlander cannot wrestle, she is getting a piece of Thekla. Statlander warns Thunder Rosa that Thekla is dangerous.

"The Jet" Kevin Knight beats The Beast Mortos.



We see another vignette for Will Ospreay, who says that when he comes back, he will be better than ever.

Backstage, we hear from The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona). Ricochet says he has put "Jungle" Jack Perry back into the dirt and can move on to better things. Bishop Kaun wants to know where everybody's priorities lie, and Toa Liona says that they will take the AEW World Trios Championships on Collision. They then head back to the locker room only to find a knife on their door, hinting that Jack Perry may not be done with Ricochet.

Swerve Strickland beats Kenny Omega. During the match, Kenny Omega goes for a V-Trigger only to accidentally wipe out referee Aubrey Edwards. Prince Nana tries to revive referee Aubrey Edwards to no avail, and Swerve exposes a turnbuckle before sending Omega throat-first into it after hitting Omega with Big Pressure. Referee Paul Turner shows up as Swerve hits the Swerve Stomp, but Omega kicks out. Omega ducks the House Call and hits a V-Trigger followed by the Poison 'Rana, but Swerve escapes the One Winged Angel again. Omega hits a knee, but Swerve is able to hit Big Pressure for the win. After the match, Swerve goes for a ground and pound on Omega, then tosses referee Paul Turner out of the ring and takes Prince Nana's chain and chokes Omega out with it.

Joe Hendry heads to the ring and calls out Ricky Saints, saying he is in the mood to kick Saints' ass all over the arena as he wants to settle things right now. Ricky Saints shows up on the balcony and says everybody has it twisted, and says that Hendry stole the NXT Championship from him and that it does not matter how good anyone is as long as they can sing. He says that he can see through Hendry and that he brings NXT and its championship down, and states that "a meme" is now holding the NXT Championship. Saints says everyone loves Hendry because they relate to being a loser like him, and says Hendry has no championship qualities that he has. Hendry says he deals in facts and that he is the best in NXT right now, but Saints says he is only the best at marketing. Saints says he is the number one guy because he has real fashion taste and does not give people fluff answers, and says that he has worked too hard to elevate NXT to let Hendry ruin that. Hendry says Saints will have no idea coming down to the ring if he is half as good as he says he is, and Saints says that they can do this at Vengeance Day for the NXT Championship. Hendry accepts the challenge and states that he will come out the winner and kick Saints' ass.



Izzi Dame watches Tatum Paxley's promo from last week as Niko Vance and Shawn Spears show up. She says that Tatum Paxley is still convincing everyone and herself that she has a final form that she has yet to unleash, and that she is incapable of change. Izzi says that every version of Tatum will end with her beating Tatum. Vance and Spears then focus on the NXT tag team titles, and Vance says he must the variable that no one can prepare for if they are to win them.

Tony D'Angelo beats Cutler James. After the match, D'Angelo is attacked by Dion Lennox, but D'Angelo takes both him and Cutler James out. Cutler has to save Lennox from D'Angelo smashing Lennox's leg with the ring steps, and referees have to break up the brawl.

Backstage, "All Ego" Ethan Page says The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes, Jackson Drake) are one step closer to gold when Myles Borne shows up.

Ricky Saints shows up and Myles Borne leaves, then says he got what he wanted and that after Vengeance Day, he, Ethan Page and The Vanity Project will all be champions.

The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor and "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes) beats The Culling (Shawn Spears and Niko Vance), OTM (Bronco Nima and Lucien Price) and the team of Hank Walker and Tank Ledger in an NXT Tag Team Championship into the ring after Ricky Smokes pushes a dazed Brad Baylor onto Shawn Spears for the pin and the win as everyone else goes at it on the outside.

Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Lainey Reid) heads to the ring. Jacy says she looks forward to defending against Sol Ruca than against any other opponent, and says that she is extremely jealous of Sol Ruca and that no matter what she does, the fans still tell her that Sol Ruca is a bigger star. Jacy says she held NXT and Total Nonstop Action's women's titles at the same time and even beat Stephanie Vaquer to do it, and yet she had to watch Sol Ruca face Bayley at Saturday Night's Main Event. Afterwards, she debuted in the Royal Rumble, but all she heard about on the way home was about how Sol Ruca was in the final three, and Lainey Reid says that everyone could only talk about Sol Ruca. Jacy says Sol Ruca has been in everyone's faces and down everyone's throats, and that Sol Ruca only has a title shot because she sacrificed Zaria, and next week, she will not have Zaria and she will not have the NXT Women's Championship. She says that she won the women's title because she is the best woman in NXT and not because she flips every five seconds, then Sol Ruca shows up and says she has heard enough. Sol Ruca agrees that Jacy Jayne is jealous of her and that Jacy is the same person she was four years ago. Jacy says that Sol Ruca is just realizing that Sol Ruca has to dump her best friend to reach the top, and that she has no chance of winning her title Sol Ruca says that friends fight and that Zaria stands apart from her, and while Jacy has the women's title and her own little group, it is not enough. Sol promises to smash Jacy's soul, take her title, and prove that she is better than Jacy. Jacy slaps Sol Ruca, and Fatal Influence attacks her. Zaria then tells Fatal Influence to get Sol Ruca up only to hit Fallon with a Spear instead before laying all of Fatal Influence out. Zaria then helps Sol Ruca up, and the two of them hug it out.

"The Oracle" Paul Heyman shows up with The Vision ("Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) and interrupts The Usos' (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) entrance at the start of tonight's show. Paul Heyman shows up with The Vision and interrupts The Usos' entrance at the start of tonight's show. Logan Paul has to take the mic, and says that he has a vision to host Raw in the most beautiful city in the United States, which is not Memphis, Tennessee. He then says that The Vision is here, regardless. Heyman has the footage from last week of the attack from the man in the black hoodie replayed, and Austin Theory says that last week's main event was his match to win. General Manager Adam Pearce and says playtime is over, and Theory gets incensed by Pearce's interruption and says Pearce screwed him. Pearce has none of it and tells The Vision to come back to his office and converse like gentlemen. Heyman says he wants Bronson Reed in the Elimination Chamber in exchange for Pearce getting his show back. Pearce says Bronson will have to earn his way in, and that he will be in a qualifier next week. As Pearce demands The Vision leave the ring, LA Knight shows up. LA Knight says the chickens have come home to roost and that Theory screwed himself, then says Bronson Reed is the next and hopes he can kick his ass. Logan Paul reminds Knight of the car Bronson Reed put him through, and then proposes that he not only kicks The Vision's asses, but he also teams up with The Usos to do it, even though they do not have the best history. General Manager Adam Pearce makes the match official.



The Vision ("Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) beat LA Knight and The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) in a six-man tag match. After the match, Logan Paul runs his mouth on a commentary headset only to receive The Stomp from the man in the black hoodie, who soon flees through the crowd.



Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce (who is accompanied by a worker played by "The Gold Standard" Eli Knox) notices a crate that says "Do not open until 02/28/26." Adam Pearce tells Eli (who actually says that his name is Eli in this segment) to send the crate to SmackDown. Los Americanos (El Grande Americano II, Rayo Americano, Bravo Americano) show up, and El Grande Americano II is not happy that El Grande Americano I has qualified for the Elimination Chamber, and since he cannot qualify himself, he wants a match for the Intercontinental Championship. Pearce gives El Grande Americano II the opportunity to earn a shot tonight.

We hear from Bayley, Asuka and Nattie before their Elimination Chamber qualifier.

Asuka beats Bayley and Nattie by submission with an Asuka Lock to Bayley in a women's Elimination Chamber qualifier. After the match, Maxxine Dupri attacks Nattie on the stage, and referees have to break it up.





Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce asks Oba Femi to look through a Raw contract, then tells him that "Raw needs a flagship." Oba says he needs time to decide, but Pearce tells him to take all the time he needs. On his way out, Oba Femi runs into Rusev, and both men have a staredown before Oba Femi leaves.

We see Michael Cole's interviews with Liv Morgan. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio joins in as Liv Morgan announces she will not rush her WrestleMania main event decision and that she will take longer to decide, and that she will not let this moment pass her by. Stephanie Vaquer shows up and confronts Liv Morgan. Vaquer speaks Spanish the entire that she confronts Liv Morgan, and Dominik has to translate for Liv as Vaquer makes it clear she wants a piece of Liv at WrestleMania. Liv breaks down in tears after Vaquer leaves, and Liv and Dominik leave the room. (Vaquer's speech to Liv is translated, as follows: "Did you say ten years of hard work? What are you talking about? You’ve sacrificed nothing. WWE gave you everything. The best training, the best medical, you were given everything. You want to talk about sacrifice? I was born in Chile, where wrestling doesn’t exist. And now I’ve traveled all over the world. Japan, Mexico, Latin America, Europe. And I’ve conquered everything. You should be ashamed because you need to hide behind The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Liv, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez). It’s sad because you need to hide behind a man. But let me tell you something. I went through hell and made it mine. Everything I did was to get to WWE and become champion. This title to me means more than just a title. It’s for all the little girls, all the women who never got the opportunity and overcome anyway. Liv, if you pick me, you won’t win. Because I’m going to show you what a real champion is." Vaquer apologizes the next day for her promo for the "I was born in Chile, where wrestling doesn't exist" line, stating that professional wrestling was not developed at the time that she got started, and states that it was a mistake in wording during the broadcast.)



CM Punk heads to the ring. Punk says that General Manager Adam Pearce thinks he is jeopardizing the main event of WrestleMania, but Punk feels he is making things better and says that the fans deserve a fighting champion. He also states that Finn Balor deserves another shot at the World Heavyweight Championship because he deserves it as much as he deserves the ass beating he is about to give him for ruining the last time he got to share the ring with "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. Punk admits that while the office is pissed off at him, he does and says things that piss people off, saying he would not be who and what he is if he did not do that. Suddenly, Finn Balor shows up and heads to the ring. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio is not far behind, and neither is a returning JD McDonagh. Punk is about to use the microphone as a weapon as the three of them circle the ring. Finn Balor says they are not out here to fight, and that he wants to make one thing crystal clear. He says that to be the best in the world, you must train with the best catch wrestlers in Europe, learn from the best luchadors in Mexico, survive the toughest dojos in Japan, and show up your first night on Raw and beat Roman Reigns. Finn Balor says he is the best in the world, and when he wins the World Heavyweight Championship, he will not be jeopardizing the main event of WrestleMania; instead, he will be making it better. Punk wants to know why McDonagh and Dominik are here, then says he knew who Finn Balor was and that Finn Balor did all he just bragged about by himself, and says that Finn Balor used to mean something. He says that The Judgment Day ("Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez) has been an anchor around his neck for some time and has only dragged him down to their level, as Dominik wears two titles he never defends and McDonagh needs help getting in the ring because his head is so big. This leads to a "bobblehead" chant, and admits that he is a smart man who does dumb things. Punk turns his back and dares the three of them to jump him from behind, saying that if Finn attacks, he will jeopardize his shot at being champion. He also says that while he does not need to prove he is the best in the world, maybe Finn Balor does.

"Dirty" Dominik Mysterio is caught in the middle.

AJ Lee heads to the ring. She talks about how she walked in last week for moral support and walked out #1 contender for the Women's Intercontinental Championship. AJ says she had fun getting under Becky Lynch's skin, but was reminded this was serious business after being sent into a ring post. She says she has not had a singles match, let alone a shot at a title, in more than a decade, and that things have changed since the last time she was a champion, there was just one title. AJ says she loved the Divas Championship because she made that championship. She admits that she is not modest and that she knows who she is, and that the women's division that happened after she left was her gift to them. AJ says she wants to face the best of the best, but for now, all roads lead back to Becky. She says that Becky is mad at her for so many reasons, then says it is not her fault because she gave Becky a ten-year head start and Becky has failed to catch up. AJ then says that without Becky, she would not have had a reason to come back and prove that she can still be a champion, and states that if she walks out of Elimination Chamber victorious, then she is walking into WrestleMania as champion. She then calls out Becky Lynch if Becky is in the mood for a fight. Becky Lynch shows up and says this is just an opportunity for AJ to gather family and friends together for a retirement match she never had and never deserved. She says that AJ Lee's real gift was leaving, and that she has been making history while AJ Lee has been making comic books. Becky tells AJ Lee that if she can make it through Elimination Chamber, she can dictate on her computer about her match with her and maybe her comic book can actually sell. AJ Lee dares Becky Lynch to get into the ring so they can throw hands right now, but Becky says she is not stupid and knows that AJ Lee will sucker punch her, but AJ Lee lets Becky take the first shot. Becky gets in the ring and AJ Lee dares Becky to swing at her with her hands behind her back, but Becky says she knows the game that AJ Lee is playing. Becky refuses and leaves the ring, sayings he does not fight in Memphis, Tennessee.



Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce is talking with a security guard (played by Gio Savage) when he sees The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) at his office doors. Paul Heyman has to hold Austin Theory back, then tells Theory and Logan Paul to head to the jet before demanding something be done about the masked man in the black hoodie. Pearce says the masked man is as much of a problem for him as it is for Heyman, then Bronson Reed says he solves problems and that he will take care of the masked man and win in the Elimination Chamber.

Next week: a tribute to "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles!
