He says that he is in Jacob's hometown and that his family will be at the show tonight, then we find out that McIntyre is in a prison cell, which McIntyre says Jacob is more familiar with. He says that the cell represents what Jacob is and will always be: a convict. He says that Jacob picked prison over feeding his family and that he will never change, and that Jacob belongs in a prison cell instead of WWE. McIntyre says he will beat Jacob within an inch of life and that he will screw up again and end up right back in prison.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Jacob Fatu during a photoshoot. The MFT's (Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Talla Tonga, JC Mateo) show up, and Solo Sikoa says that Jacob is not the only person with family in the Bay Area and that Jacob's past being brought up makes The MFT's look bad. Jacob tells Solo that they are not doing this today and that they can run it back and have a match tonight. Solo mockingly notes that Jacob is standing in the spot where his teeth got knocked out and that it would be a shame if it happened.

We see a vignette for Royce Keys in East Palo Alto, California. he talks about how choice was a luxury in East Palo Alto and grew up around crime as well as two grandparents who were not having any of it. We see Royce Keys' childhood home, and while Keys' family did not have a lot, they dreamed big, and he became a professional wrestler and managed to get out. He says that pro wrestling brings him peace and is what motivates him. Keys says that he will be defined not by where he is from, but by where he is going.

Pat McAfee arrives to the arena in a Dodge Ram and is met by General Manager Nick Aldis, who tells McAfee that nobody is allowed to put his hands on him under any circumstances. When he enters the building, Jelly Roll confronts McAfee. McAfee says that he should have never been between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton, then Jelly Roll asks McAfee why he is here. McAfee says that people like Jelly Roll should not be in the business. Jelly shoves McAfee to the wall, and Aldis has to stop Jelly Roll.

Solo Sikoa shows up and says "long time, no see" and congratulates Royce Keys on his win, then says he runs things on SmackDown and that his door is always open if he needs anything.

Pat McAfee heads to the ring. McAfee calls San Jose, California "a shithole" and flips the fans off before saying it is crazy that people boo him but cheer CM Punk, and mocks the fact that CM Punk was covered in WWE merchandise and goes directly to him. He calls Punk a fraud, and says he is all talk and no action like a politician, and says that while Punk has the ability to change things, he gets down and rolls over "like the bitch that he is" before flipping the crowd off again. McAfee says he is man of action, an agent of change, and everything Punk says that he himself is, and while he agrees with Punk that ticket prices are too high, it is because of Orton that people want to go to WrestleMania. He then says that he will be the fans' hero, even though the "disgusting" fans do not deserve it, and says that he has called the Dodge Motor Company and that they will pay for 25% of the cost for WrestleMania tickets from now until the end of next week's Raw. McAfee calls WrestleMania "a once-in-a-century" night where Randy Orton will save the business while winning his fifteenth world title, then makes fun of the fact that the San Jose Sharks have never won a Stanley Cup. As McAfee calls "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes "a puppet" and boasts that he will be demoralized and pummeled by Orton, Cody shows up and heads to the ring. McAfee makes fun of Cody's entrance theme on the microphone, then Cody tells McAfee that he does not belong here. He then says that while he cannot touch him, McAfee can get a replica title and live out his WrestleMania moment at Fan Axxess before thanking whoever sent him. Cody says that McAfee is doing nothing but spouting catchphrases and mentioning the Attitude Era, then talks about how Paul Boesch says that "marks" are really "customers," and how the "customers" are really family to him. Cody tells McAfee has a gift, for as long as pro wrestling has existed, nobody has agreed on anything except for the fact that they want to see Randy Orton, but do not want to see Pat McAfee.Cody then says "Go...home...Pat," tosses the microphone to the site, has the fans chant "Go home," and is about leave when McAfee says he is home and born to be in the business while Cody was born into the business with a silver spoon in his mouth. McAfee goes on to call Cody the fakest person he has ever seen and "a cosplay champion" that he will rid the WWE of alongside Randy Orton, then tells him and the fans that if Orton does not walk out WrestleMania as champion, no one will ever see or hear from him ever again. Cody tells McAfee to take his sunglasses off, then calls McAfee for his hypocrisy about WWE and how McAfee says he is tired and states that they should bring Gunther in to put him to sleep once and for all before heading to the back. McAfee calls Cody "an elite runaway artist" and Stardust, then asks Cody if he will "suck Triple H's ass" to get a little bit more. Cody takes off his suit jacket and heads back to the ring when Randy Orton appears on the TitanTron. Orton reveals that he has attacked Jelly Roll backstage, and initially offers for Cody to "come get [his] boy" before deciding to bring Jelly Roll to him. Orton drags Jelly Roll to the stage and leaves, and McAfee approaches Cody as Cody checks on Jelly Roll. Cody confronts McAfee only for Orton to attack Cody from behind so that he and McAfee can gang up on him. Jelly Roll gets to his feet and grabs McAfee by the throat only to get clothesline by Orton, and Cody gets to his feet and fight back only to be attacked from behind by McAfee and hit with a draping DDT by Orton. McAfee then hands the Undisputed WWE Championship over to Orton, who then smacks Cody in the head with the center plate before he and McAfee celebrate over a downed Cody.



Backstage, Pat McAfee and Randy Orton are leaving. McAfee says that Orton is the focal point and saving the business, then mentions Cody Rhodes telling him to go home and does just that with Orton in his Dodge Ram after saying "You're welcome" to the fans. Aleister Black and Zelina Vega are briefly seen in the background.

Backstage, The Miz and Kit Wilson confront General Manager Nick Aldis about what happened to referee Dan Engler's arm in their tag team title match.

Aldis puts Wilson in a match with Danhausen.

Jacob Fatu beats Tama Tonga. After the match, Jacob Fatu gets on the microphone only to be attacked from behind by Drew McIntyre. Jacob hits McIntyre with a superkick, but McIntyre fires back with a Claymore. McIntyre then grabs a steel chair and smacks Jacob Fatu in the back with it before hitting him with a Future Shock DDT on the floor. As referee Charles Robinson checks on Jacob Fatu, McIntyre pulls out handcuffs with a long chain from his pocket. He handcuffs Jacob Fatu on one end, then drags him into the ring post and runs him into it before punching him a few times and handcuffing him to the top rope. He then wraps the chain around the ring post and boots him in the face. Referees are heading to the ring as McIntyre wraps the chain around the ring post again and asking Jacob Fatu what it is like to be in chains again before calling him an animal. Jacob Fatu headbutts McIntyre, and he falls down to the floor as McIntyre goes on the attack again. This time, McIntyre wraps the chain around Jacob's waist and handcuffs Jacob's hands behind his back. McIntyre then gets Jacob Fatu back in the ring and hits him with another Claymore, then shoves officials away before whipping Jacob with the leather belt off his blue jeans.





Backstage, R-Truth explains to Danhausen how to sign up to the ESPN App and watch WrestleMania. Danhausen says he cannot wait to beat Kit Wilson, then take over WrestleMania and the world. Damian Priest shows up and also meets Danhausen, who disappears when R-Truth and Priest argue over R-Truth getting Danhausen confused with Asuka. All of a sudden, Rhea Ripley attacks B-Fab, then says "One down, one to go," to R-Truth and Damian Priest. R-Truth says "I don't think Rhea wants her in The Judgement Day (Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio)." Damian Priest leaves.

Sami Zayn heads to the ring. Sami calls the fans' boos "an interesting reaction" before addressing the topic of change and what "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton have told him about change, then notes that the fans want to see change as well. Sami says he has strived to give the fans something more than a T-shirt, catchphrase or viral moments and has tried to give the fans himself and something real. He says he has given his heart, mind and soul, and while some fans boo, it steal means something to others. Sami says he cares about the kids who look up to him and the adults who talk about how he got them through the hardest parts of their lives, as well as the fans in California who have had his back since day one. He says that for those people, he loves them and he will not change until the day he dies. As for everyone else, he wants to know what he did at first, then says it is okay because he does not care because he realized his "ride or die" fans will have his back. Sami says the pressure was off when he realized he had "ride or die" fans, then says he will walk into WrestleMania as champion and walk out of WrestleMania as champion before Trick Williams shows up and heads to the ring. Lil Yachty joins Trick on the way there. Trick says that people are tired of hearing Sami Zayn talk, as he is always crying and whining, has funky breath, and cannot get the job done. He says having his first WrestleMania match with Sami makes him want to get some mouthwash and beat Sami up. Trick admits it did not take twenty years for him to get to this spot, but says he is "the anointed one" and that he will beat Sami's ass at WrestleMania, "because everybody loves Trick Williams." Sami says love takes a long time to build and that while the fans like Trick and have a crush on him after he has been here six months, then says he can make all the jokes he wants, because at WrestleMania, he is in the ring with a WrestleMania main eventer, and he will drag Trick into deep water. He says that Trick has yet to show him anything, and he will see if Trick can walk the walk or if Trick is just talk. Lil Yachty says Sami sounds like a hater, and says that Trick Williams makes Trick Williams, not materialistic things, and that Trick will become the new United States Champion. Matt Cardona then shows up and heads to the ring for the next match. Sami Zayn watches the next match from ringside at the commentary table.



Trick Williams beats Matt Cardona. Trick shoves Sami at the commentary table before sending Matt Cardona back into the ring, and Sami confronts Trick. Lil Yachty pulls Sami off the ring apron and sends him jaw-first into it, and Sami answers with a Helluva Kick.

He also states that Ethan is abrasive, self-centered and arrogant, and Ethan praises Kazarian for saying they hate the both of them. Kazarian then brags about winning the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Trophy and says Ethan just kissed ass for a title shot, but Ethan says Kazarian is just upset it is not him.

Before the next match, JDC tells Cody Deaner not to pander to the fans before asking him when he last won a match. He says he knows Deaner's contract is up soon and that things are not looking good for him and his kids. He offers Deaner a spot in The System, albeit as "a young boy" and not as an official member, and tells him to trust The System as he does not have many options. Once again, Deaner leaves the choice up to the fans, who make it clear that they do not want him to join The System. JDC tells Deaner not to listen to the fans, but Deaner proposes beating Moose for the X Division Championship. Moose laughs and says that if Deaner can last two minutes against him, he can get a shot at the X Division Championship. Deaner leaves the choice to the fans, and the fans make it clear they want to see this challenge.

Cody Deaner lasts the first two minutes to make the match an X Division title match after Moose lets the match keep going almost a minute in, but Moose beats him with two Spears shortly afterwards.

However, he will defend the TNA World Championship at Rebellion, and he will defend it against Frankie Kazarian and "All Ego" Ethan Page and walk out still the TNA World Champion. He says he will do it because the fans have kept chanting "We believe," then Kazarian shows up and says that while this is really inspiring, he is sick of Hendry, and Hendry will not walk out as champion because he will barely be able to walk into the building. He says that Hendry is "a wounded duck" and is not at 100%, and that he will not be able to hang with him. Kazarian says Hendry cares about what the fans think and desires to be loved, but when he loses that, he will beat him and "All Ego" Ethan Page to become champion.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for April 10, 2024

Before the next match, Samoa Joe is attacked by Swerve Strickland and Speared through a table on the way to the ring.



We see a vignette of Trent Beretta's betrayal of Best Friends (Orange Cassidy and Chuck Taylor), complete with Kris Statlander confronting him backstage afterwards.

Backstage, Renee Paquette announces that Orange Cassidy will be addressing Trent's actions tonight (which strangely never happens).

Adam Copeland retains the TNT Championship against Penta el Zero Miedo. After the match, the lights go out, and when they come back on, Julia Hart is in the ring. Copeland is suddenly attacked from behind by Brody King. Willow Nightingale runs into the ring and beats up Julia, and Brody has to save Julia. A slightly misted Willow and Brody King have a staredown, then Copeland gets the better of Brody.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Hook, "Lionheart" Chris Jericho and Katsuyori Shibata. Jericho appreciates Hook bringing in Shibata for Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty, Anthony Ogogo) on his own and says Hook is learning, and says that he will start with Ogogo and knock his block in before Hook and Shibata take care of the others. Hook and Shibata are in, although Shibata wants to know what Jericho's deal is.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Mark Briscoe and Eddie Kingston. Mark says he feels amazing even though he is in pain from he and Eddie having a dogfight, and Eddie says that he is also pretty beat up.

After Stokely humorously tries to pit Willow against Copeland for the TNT title, Willow and Copeland challenge Julia Hart and Brody King to a tag team match next week on Dynamite. Stokely Hathaway apologizes to Eddie for saying he smelled like Burger King and Newports in the past.

We hear from The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson). Nicholas talks about the finals of the AEW World Tag Team Championships in which they will face FTR, and says he and Matthew have some wounds that have never fully healed. He mentions their match at All In last year, then Matthew mentions the Jack Perry incident from that show. Nicholas says "the other individual" tried to make the show about himself and happened to be friends with FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler), and says that FTR are the masterminds in all this. Matthew tells him this is not a good thing to say without proof, then says that there were wrestling journalists who needed answers about this. He says FTR beat them at All In, but also says there should be a giant asterisk after that victory. We then see backstage footage that almost ruined their reputation, but didn't. We then see silent backstage footage of Jack Perry being talked to by CM Punk before Punk suddenly shoves and punches him without warning. Both Perry and Punk have to be separated. Matthew says the worst part about all this is they created a wrestling show only to be so distracted by something so stupid that they lost, which led to them refusing to shake hands with FTR. Nicholas says that at Dynasty, they are not shaking hands with FTR at all. (The decision to use backstage camera footage from All In to further a storyline is received overwhelmingly negatively by fans on social media, and the actual All In footage is omitted from official social media during the broadcast and from the YouTube upload after the show's end. Furthermore, All Elite Wrestling submits DMCA takedowns of video of the backstage footage from the broadcast against anyone who uploads it.)

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) head to the ring, and Cash Wheeler asks why the footage from earlier had to be shown aside from The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) having excuses for losing. He says they are tired of talking about this, especially as they are doing their best work at the moment, because The Young Bucks cannot get over losing at All In. He says that at Dynasty, they have to beat The Young Bucks, not for legacy, but because he is tired of "petty little bitches." Dax Harwood says that every time The Young Bucks have a chance to talk, they have to mention that without them, several wrestlers would be without a job and there would be no AEW, and while he cannot help but agree with that, he knows they have something over The Young Bucks that allows them to eclipse them as the best tag team on the planet. He says that the fans cared about FTR and AEW, but somewhere along they way, they started only caring about what was best for the EVP's, and on the back of everyone who wants to be in AEW, they will continue to build AEW not just for themselves, but for all professional wrestlers who want to make a decision as well as a living, as well as for all the fans who spend their hard-earned money on one ticket to get lost in their drama and action. Harwood says they are doing this for the fans, and if The Young Bucks do not want to be part of AEW, then they can grab their ball and go home. He says this is not about AEW or All In, but about wrestling and the AEW World Tag Team Championships, as two teams walk in and one walks out as the first-ever three-time tag champs. He says that The Young Bucks may have built the foundation, but they will be the ones putting shingles on the house so they can blow off the roof again.



We see a video package for "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson vs. Will Ospreay at Dynasty.

Renee Paquette interviews Will Ospreay on the stage. Ospreay says he has the rumor that he is "afraid of the grind," and admits that he has no idea where this conversation has come from, as he has flown all over the world every single week to deliver some of the best professional wrestling matches the world has seen. He says he would not usually rise to this type of bait, but since the person mentioning this was "grinding on the boss' daughter," (a reference to recent statements made by Paul "Triple H" Levesque on The Pat McAfee Show in which Levesque stated ""If you're not in it for the grind at that point early in your career, you've no business being [in WWE]") that that person has no reason to be talking about "the grind" because they have no idea what he fights for and that they should not be throwing stones at an assassin with a machine gun. Ospreay says he is better than "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson and that the only chance Danielson has of beating him is from grounding him, something that other man have tried and failed to do. He says Danielson is a legend, and that he cannot call himself the best until he beats him at Dynasty. He says that AEW is where the best wrestle, and that it is his time and it is time for him to show what he can do at Dynasty.



We hear from Julia Hart. She says Willow Nightingale is strong and powerful and always has a spark inside of her, but a single spark can start a raging fire. She says that she will pull back her back and reveal she has not just smiles and rainbows, but hurt and anger. She says Willow knows what she is capable of, yet comes back for more. She says she will dim that spark, turn the smile into a frown, and make sure Willow never comes after he crown. She says that she is the Princess of the Black Throne and that it is her destiny to stay TBS Champion.

Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty, Anthony Ogogo) beat Hook, "Lionheart" Chris Jericho and Katsuyori Shibata in a trios match after Jericho argues with Hook on the outside before Hook can tag out Shibata, allowing Shane Taylor to knock Shibata while the referee is not looking. After the match, Hook tells Jericho that he has had enough and tells him to get out. Hook then raises Shibata's hand in the ring.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes, and says Samoa Joe is still medically cleared to compete tonight after what happened at the beginning of the show. Dustin says there is no change to the strategy and that he has nothing to lose and everything to gain with what is on the line tonight. He says the time for talking is over and that he is here for business, that he is all about grit, work ethic, passion and glory, and that tonight is no different.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for April 10, 2023

Rey Mysterio heads to the ring to start tonight's show. He admits that it has been a crazy year for him, and while he has had a lot of ups and downs, entering the WWE Hall of Fame and competing on the biggest WrestleMania of all time should have been a dream come true, but instead, he had to face his own son. As Rey states that he really wanted things to be different between himself and Dominik Mysterio, Dominik shows up and tells Rey to keep his name out of his mouth, because he is sick and tired of hearing about what Rey wants as Rey makes things about himself. He says that Rey never cared about him and that because of this, he is better off with "his real family," The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio). Rey calls The Judgment Day a bunch of selfish idiots who are using him, but Dominik says Rey is the real user and selfish one as he always gets what he wants. Dominik says he would have beaten Rey if it were not for Bad Bunny and that Rey used Bad Bunny like he used him. Dominik says that while Bad Bunny makes a lot of good songs, Bad Bunny going through a table is music to his ears, and that he hopes he stays out of The Judgment Day's business. Rey tells Dominik he has heard from Bad Bunny and that he has said that he will be back and that The Judgment Day will regret putting their hands on him. Dominik calls this "more empty words from a deadbeat dad," and tells Rey to worry more about what The Judgment Day will do to him than Bad Bunny. Rey asks Dominik when he will man up and take care of things on his own, then admits that while he did not want to fight Dominik at WrestleMania, he considers him a lost cause. Rey then challenges Dominik to a WrestleMania rematch tonight. Dominik says he does not want to fight his own father, but he knows who will: Finn Balor, who shows up for the opening match.



Finn Balor beats Rey Mysterio after Dominik Mysterio knocks Rey out with a right hand with a chain wrapped around it.



Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Alpha Academy (Chad Gable and Otis). As Gable talks about their match with The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) tonight, Maxxine Dupri tries to talk to Otis when it is revealed that Lita has been attacked while Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan call for help. WWE official Adam Pearce and a referee show up, as do Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus. Becky thinks that Liv and Raquel may have something to do with this.



Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews Becky Lynch. Becky says Lita is in a local medical facility and that she only has her suspicions on who did it, and when she finds out who did it, she will slap off their heads. She says that the fans expect a match out of her, then Trish and Adam Pearce show up. Trish says that they made a good team at WrestleMania and that she will do it again tonight for Lita.

We see a video package for Seth "Freakin'" Rollins.

Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez beat Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus to become the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions after Liv Morgan ducks the Chick Kick from Trish and pins her with a schoolkid pin. After the match, Becky raises Trish's hand and hugs her, then Trish attacks Becky from behind and hits her with the Chick Kick.



Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Paul Heyman. Heyman once again dodges the question about Brock Lesnar's latest actions, then says that Kevin Owens has a problem and that Sami Zayn and Matt Riddle are not here tonight because they are smart enough not to mess with Solo Sikoa while Owens is "not that bright." He says that Owens is coming out with zero allies and fewer friends tonight, then says that he, Solo and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) are here and asks who would take advantage of Owens in his vulnerable state and follow Roman Reigns' order to solve "the Kevin Owens problem" before saying that "we the ones."

Backstage, Trish Status refuses to answer Byron Saxton's question about why she laid out Becky Lynch.

Backstage, Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky wait for Bayley in front of WWE official Adam Pearce's office. Bayley says she tried to get a tag team title match, then mentions that she has a three-way match against Piper Niven and "Michin" Mia Yim tonight and that the winner gets an opportunity against Bianca Belair for the WWE Raw Women's Championship. Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai are not happy that they do not have a title opportunity, and goes back to Pearce's office to see if one of them can take her place.



Bobby Lashley vs. Bronson Reed ends in a double count-out. After the match, Bobby Lashley and Bronson Reed brawl on the outside, and multiple referees and officials have to separate both men.



"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes heads to the ring. Cody says that he usually has a singular focus and has had one since he came back to WWE, but after last week, everything feels a bit cloudy. He then says that he lost to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania and calls it "a polarizing moment" in WWE before asking the fans to blame him after he did not just adjust or calculate for the lengths that Roman was willing to go to stay champion. Cody then says he heard only two things: that being in the main event is a win in itself - even though there is no point if you do not steal the show - and that if he were to ever challenge for the championship again, he would have to earn it. He says that this dismisses his whole career and his whole life after he threw himself into the forest and became leader of the wolfpack, saying he has not just earned it, but he is it. Cody then says his unfinished tale has a whole new wrinkle to it in the form of Brock Lesnar, and says the only thing more embarrassing being surrounded by over 80,000 people and a rubber chicken over your head is heading back to work looking for a modicum of satisfaction only to be destroyed by Lesnar. Cody says that either Lesnar was unhappy with his spot at WrestleMania - which he can understand - or that he is uncertain about him and the hype and change that he brought that could affect him. He says that he knows both Lesnar and Heyman are listening, and asks Lesnar why he would be uncertain, as he sees a predator whenever he looks into the mirror and everyone has been lunch and "a victim" to him in both wrestling and MMA even when he was a rookie. Cody asks Lesnar if he is "a victim" to him, then admits that while he would be crazy not to be scared of Lesnar, he still wants to fight him, and he wants to leave no stone unturned and make it so that Lesnar sees himself as pray and as "[his] victim." He then says that it could by any time and at any place, and even though Lesnar is not here tonight, he challenges Lesnar to a one-on-one match for the first time ever at Backlash before telling him to answer the call.



The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) beat Alpha Academy (Chad Gable and Otis).



Iyo Sky beats "Michin" Mia Yim and Piper Niven in a Triple Threat Match to get a shot at the WWE Raw Women's Championship after Mia Yim hits Piper Niven with Eat Defeat only for Iyo Sky to hit Mia Yimi with Over The Moonsault. (Iyo Sky replaces Bayley in this match.)



Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews Kevin Owens. Owens says he has never been a wise person, and while he has some street smarts, he leads with his emotions and his emotions get the best of him all the time. He then says his heart tells him that he must beat Solo Sikoa, and even though Sami Zayn is not here and he should not compete tonight, all he cares about is getting revenge.

Solo Sikoa beats Kevin Owens after Jimmy Uso distracts the referee so that Jey Uso can superkick Owens on the outside, allowing Solo Sikoa to hit the Samoa Spike for the win. After the match, The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) stomp a mudhole in Owens in the corner, then Sami Zayn and Matt Riddle suddenly run to the ring from backstage. The Usos run towards the ramp to intercept them, and this starts a brawl where Riddle and Zayn get the upper hand on The Usos before they overpower Solo Sikoa. Jey gets back in the ring, but he does not fare any better than Solo, when Jimmy tries to make the save, Owens gets back in the ring to hit him with the Stunner. Sami goes for the Helluva Kick on Jey, but Solo makes the save as he and The Usos retreat.
