Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for April 2, 2026

Mike Santana heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Santana talks about his match with Steve Maclin at Sacrifice. He admits Maclin is one of the toughest man in the business and says that he dropped him. He then talks about how his father told him to life as a man of his word, and he walked in and out as World Champion. He then addresses Eddie Edwards, saying that Eddie tried to catch him slipping and it did not work. Santnaa then mentions that Eddie will face him for the TNA World Championship at Rebellion. Eddie Edwards and Cedric Alexander show up, and Eddie notes that Santana sounds confident despite his having pinned Santana last week. He proclaims that he will win the World title at Rebellion and make Rebellion "the night of The System (Eddie, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson, Cedric)." Eddie states that when he becomes a three-time TNA World Champion, The System will run TNA, and Santana tells Eddie that he does not believe his own words and that if he did, he would fight him in the ring right now. Cedric tells Santana to take a breath and take solace in the fact that he will not be the only person losing a championship at Rebellion, then proclaims that he will beat Leon Slater to become X-Division Champion. Leon Slater heads to the ring and tells Cedric that beating him will not be that easy, as he beat him once nearly nine months ago and he can beat him again. Cedric says that was then, and this is now. Cedric says he no longer cares about making the fans happy and that he only cares about The System, who will soon take the World and X-Division titles and will soon have all the gold. Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Tasha Steelz, Special Agent Zero) shows up, and Mustafa Ali mentions that so many promises are being thrown around before stating that Rebellion will also be Order 4's night when he becomes the next International Champion. Mustafa Ali then asks the fans to pledge allegiance to him, then Trey Miguel heads to the ring and calls Mustafa a coward after hiding behind the rest of Order 4 at Sacrifice because he knew he could not get the job done. Trey challenges Mustafa to be a real man at Rebellion, then tells him that regardless of his actions, he will not be walking away as International Championship. Mustafa Ali mentions what happened to Jada Stone at Sacrifice, then Santana challengers Order 4 to a multi-man tag match. Mustafa Ali mentions what happened to Jada Stone at Sacrifice, then Santana challengers Order 4 to a multi-man tag match. When Mustafa mentions that Order 4 is winning in the numbers game, Moose shows up and lays goes on the attack before Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and makes the match official for right now.

Order 4 (Mustafa Ali and Special Agent Zero) and The System (Eddie Edwards and Cedric Alexander) beat Mike Santana, Leon Slater, Trey Miguel and Moose in an eight-man tag match following a Boston Knee Party from Eddie to Santana.

Backstage, Daria Rae chews out Director of Authority Santino Marella for making the impromptu eight-man tag match from earlier, and wants to know who recently laid out "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth backstage. She also mentions that Santino has been declared as "being under thin ice" at a recent board meeting, then mentions that the winner of Xia Brookside vs. Arianna Grace for the TNA Knockouts World Championship in tonight's main event will defend against Lei Ying Lee at Rebellion. She then kicks Santino out of his own office.

In backstage footage from Sacrifice, everyone celebrates Ricky Sosa's signing to TNA. Suddenly, Eric Young shows up and tells Ricky Sosa that he is the gatekeeper and that the hard work starts now.

The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) head to the ring. Matt Hardy says that Sacrifice was a revelation and a realization, as The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) betrayed them exactly as they predicted they would do. He says they would have been great friends and a great faction and made money under different circumstances. As Matt Hardy describes Dutch's bashing the back of his head against the wall, he almost turns into "Broken" Matt Hardy before stating that The Hardys will snuff The Righteous out. Jeff Hardy says The Righteous made a mistake and that the talk of respect and brotherhood is over, and Matt says that all they will talk about now is apocalyptic consequences. The Righteous show up, and Vincent says they are still a great team as well as family, and insists that what they did was not to them, but for them, and that they removed what was in the way. He says love requires sacrifice, and Dutch states that they do not cling to the kind and gentle. Dutch says that Matt Hardy is stronger than death, and that The Hardys are not a sacrifice, but an offering. Matt Hardy offers to kick The Righteous' asses right now, and Vincent says that the pressure in Matt's chest is not pain or anger, but Matt's old self trying to survive something greater. Vincent says The Hardys are running away from themselves and have something they want, which is not money, not the tag titles, but something forgotten yet still breathing. As Matt Hardy dares The Righteous to get in the ring and fight them right now, Vincent says that is a good idea, but not tonight. He then states the calendar has many ways of aligning, and Matt wants The Hardys vs. The Righteous next week. Dutch loves the idea, but requests that this must be done "Hardy style" and "in the way of extreme." Jeff Hardy likes the idea, and says it will not just be a tag team title match, but also a tag team tables match.

Before the next match, The White Rabbit gets in the way of Victoria Crawford as Victoria heads to the ring with Tessa Blanchard. All of a sudden, Victoria Crawford is nowhere to be seen, and Tessa unknowingly walks to the ring alone.

Backstage, Mike Santana is approached by Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo and Arianna Grace. Santana is not in the mood to deal with them as Arianna mentions Santana getting pinned, with Stacks saying it is a bad look. Santana makes it clear he is not having it, and Arianna says that not only should world champions win, but that Santana should take notes as she handles business and defends her title. After Arianna and Stacks leave, Santana says that neither of them work here.

Tessa Blanchard beats Jody Threat in a Bunkhouse Match by referee stoppage after choking Jody out with the referee's leather belt near the ring apron from the outside.

Backstage, "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth is looking for who attacked "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth when BDE shows up. Ryan Nemeth accuses him of attacking Nic, then Kazarian shows up and also accuses BDE of attacking Nic. BDE takes exception to this, and Kazarian demands respect from BDE and tells him not to point, but BDE points at Kazarian anyway. Nemeth says that Kazarian should face him in a match, then Elijah shows up and confronts Kazarian. Kazarian and Ryan Nemeth leave, then Elijah tells BDE to shut Kazarian up and save some of Kazarian for him.

Backstage, Tessa Blanchard notices The White Rabbit. She follows The White Rabbit further backstage, then the words "To Be Continued..." are seen.

AJ Francis beats The Home Town Man. After the match, Francis mocks the fans and mentions there has been a lot of online discourse to what happened to "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth. He then reveals that it was him, saying that he made his debut two years ago in New Orleans, Louisiana by beating Joe Hendry and has beaten everyone's favorites. He says that all Nic Nemeth has done is steal opportunity from him, then says that no matter who it is he has to beat, he is the real show stealer of TNA. He also says that he never wanted to play for the New Orleans Saints because of how the fans are, then Ryan Nemeth shows up and confronts AJ Francis. Francis tells Ryan that he will leave him laying like he did his brother.

Backstage, Lei Ying Lee shows Xia Brookside a video message from Robbie Brookside, telling her that she has this match and that it is her birthright to be the TNA Knockouts World Champion.

The One Man Gang is seen in the crowd.

Arianna Grace retains the TNA Knockouts World Championship against Xia Brookside thanks to constant interference by Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo. After the match, Stacks and Arianna are about to gang up on Lei Ying Lee as she checks on Xia Brookside, then Mike Santana shows up and confronts them before hitting Stacks with Spin the Block. Eddie Edwards then shows up in the crowd with a microphone, saying that Santana lets his emotions call the shots and let Stacks and Arianna get in his head when he should be World Champion, and that allowed him to pin Santana twice. He says that Santana's "bruised little ego" is in control and not Santana himself, but Santana says Eddie is talking tough for somebody on the other side of the guardrail and dares Eddie to get in the ring and say those words to him like a man. Eddie teases doing that, but then decides not to, saying he has already beaten Santana once tonight and that he will do it again at Rebellion and walk out as World Champion while Santana is known as the man who could not hold it together on the biggest night of his life. Santana tells Eddie that the only thing that will not hold together will be his face when he stamps it out, and that when he steps into the ring at Rebellion, he is up against the face and standard of TNA for the World Championship.

At the end of the show, Tessa Blanchard finds herself in the Undead Realm, and is introduced to the Undead Realm by none other than Father James Mitchell.

Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!

Collision Course - Collision recap for April 2, 2026

Jon Moxley beats Anthony Bowens in an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match. After the match, Moxley is suddenly hit with a Hidden Blade by Will Ospreay, who then grabs the metal folding chair used by Ahtnony Bowens earlier in the match to strike Moxley with it. The rest of The Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) narrowly save Moxley, who accidentally leaves the Continental Championship in the ring as Ospreay calls him out for injuring people with chairs and usually having Castagnoli do the deed before telling Moxley that he wants his neck after putting a chair around his neck and doing the stomping himself. Ospreay says he will see Moxley at Dynasty, then wants the Continental Championship on the line so that there are no seconds at ringside and he gets Moxley alone for twenty minutes.

We hear from The Don Callis Family ("The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, Andrade el Idolo, Mark Davis) backstage. Okada says that Andrade and Davis have a tag team match against The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz, Dezmond Xavier, Myron Reed), and tells Davis that this is a chance to get revenge to what happened to "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher, who he considers his best friend, unlike "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita. After wanting to know where Takeshita is, Okada tells Davis that he has a better tag team partner than Takeshita will ever be in Andrade, who he says is a future world champion, and tonight, Andrade will fight for Kyle Fletcher and he will fight closely.

The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) beat Ava Lawless and Kristara.

Backstage, we hear from The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir). Moxley says he is not surprised by Will Ospreay's behavior lately and that he is surprised that Ospreay challenged him for the Continental Championship, stating that they are both going down a dark alley and only one of them will come out. He calls this the purest form of competition in pro wrestling and the Continental Championship the highest stakes in the game, and that Ospreay would be smart enough not to do this at less than 100%, which Moxley considers "one hell of a bluff." He says that The Death Riders are about keeping the sport pure, and that he will let delusional people be delusional and have them find out whatever they need to find out in due time. Moxley says to expect no mercy, even though he does not have to beat Ospreay because Ospreay will beat himself.

We hear from The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin). MVP announces that Lashley is cleared for action again and that The Hurt Syndicate is in the market to add new talent to the ranks, as they are back in business and business is about to pick up, and they will do what they do better than anyone: hurt people.

Willow Nightingale's open challenge for the TBS Championship is answered by Hikaru Shida.

Willow Nightingale retains the TBS Championship against Hikaru Shida with a high stack-up pin. After the match, Shida almost attacks Willow with a shinai, but ultimately does not.

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) - who head to the ring accompanied by security guards that surround the ring - beat Mo Jabari and London Lightning after playing possom with London Lightning so they can hit him with the Shatter Machine. Immediately after the match, Christian Cage shows up with a metal folding chair, and is soon joined by Adam Copeland, who also has a chair. They power straight through security and brawl with FTR in the ring, and Christian hits Dax with a low blow before biting Cash so that Copeland can hit Cash with the Impaler. Copeland and Christian then go for the Con-Chair-To on Cash, but it is stopped by Stokely Hathaway. Two security guards go after Copeland and Christian, but they both get taken out, and one of them receives the Con-Chair-To by Christian.

In backstage footage from after last night's Dynamite, Lexy Nair interviews The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) and Mina Shirakawa. Windsor says that when they brawl, they brawl, and if Mina wants to spread her wings, she has her back. Hayter is proud of being New Japan Pro Wrestling Strong Women's Champion, then states that she has been AEW Women's World Champion before only to have the title ripped away from her and have the title elude her ever since. Hayter calls out "The Toxic Spider" Thekla, saying she has a big mouth for someone so small and that she has beaten her once and she will beat her again. Mina tells Hayter not to beat Thekla, but to "beat the piss" out of Thekla.

Tommaso Ciampa beats Juice Robinson.

Backstage, we hear from Isiah Kassidy, who says that it is time to change again now that Marq Quen is out indefinitely thanks to Jon Moxley. Kassidy says that Moxley forgot that he has been drowning his whole life and that he knows how to breath in deep water, then says that he did not come this far to come this far that he is going to eat because he is starving for opportunity.

In backstage footage from after Dynamite, Darby Allin says he has Andrade el Idolo, who is currently the best version he has ever been, and if he can get through him, he can get a shot at the AEW World Championship. Suddenly, Brody King and "Jungle" Jack Perry show up, and Brody mentions his history with Darby while Jack Perry mentions that Darby set him on fire before Brody states that Darby was there for him against The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir). Darby says they all hate The Don Callis Famil and can co-exist for one night next week on Dynamite. Brody and Perry agree, but Perry is still hung up on the fact that Darby set him on fire.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

The Don Callis Family (Andrade el Idolo and Mark Davis) beat The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz and Dezmond Xavier). After the match, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada and RPG Vice (Rocky "Azucar" Romero and Trent Beretta) show up and attack The Rascalz. Myron Reed gets in the ring and fends off RPG Vice while Okada retreats, and he eventually hits all three men with a somersault over the top rope.

The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong), Mistico and "The Jet" Kevin Knight beat The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay) and The Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta) in an eight-man tornado tag match.

Do The Evolution - Evolve recap for April 2, 2025

Keanu Carver beats Luca Crusifino.

Chantel Monroe beats Masyn Holiday with a schoolkid pin after grabbing the tights.

She says she has been hearing whispers about the Women's Evolve Championship and that she will be the center of the title conversation.

We see a face-off between Kali Armstrong and Dani Palmer. Palmer admits she misfired on the dive that took Armstrong out and that they are clearly not a good team, but they are here to evolve their talents. Armstrong says Palmer has just described a loser's mentality and is trying to convince herself that she does not suck, and tells her to learn from her mistakes when she is not attached to a partner like her who can actually win. Palmer warns Armstrong that she will have a short career and lots of enemies with that mindset, but Armstrong says she is doing absolutely fine and will continue to do so as long as she is not handcuffed to "a poor excuse for a consolation prize" like Palmer. Palmer says Armstrong reeks of insecurity and is trying to push all her buttons to get her to lash out, but it is not going to work and that she is saving it all for the ring because Armstrong is writing checks that her skills cannot cash.

Harlem Lewis beats Joe Coffey after Coffey inadvertently punches the ring post on the outside.

Wendy Choo beats Kylie Rae by submission with the Dirtnap.

MVP and Bobby Lashley head to the ring. MJF soon joins them in the ring, and mentions Lashley disrespecting him last week before personally introducing himself to him, then mentions Shelton Benjamin's travel issues and says he will see him down the road. MJF says that Lashley may have been around the block, but this is AEW, and he is standing on the block that he has built. He says he knows AEW like the back of his hand and knows how to stay on top and can help The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Lashley, Shelton) stay on top. He says he also knows that The Hurt Syndicate can help him get back on top to the AEW World Championship, and says that their working together "is just good business" and everyone knows it. MJF says Lashley may not want MJF, but he needs him. Lashley says he will not leave MJF laying out of respect for MVP, then makes it clear he does not like him, does not trust him, and that The Hurt Syndicate does not need him. He then tells MJF to leave the ring unless he can prove otherwise. MJF thanks MVP and Lashley for their time, then leaves the ring. As MVP and Lashley leave, The Learning Tree ("The Redwood" Big Bill and "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith) show up, and as Bryan keith stares them down, Big Bill tells Lashley to take a seat in a metal folding chair that he provides. MVP and Lashley watch as The Learning Tree lay out two unnamed opponents (really independent wrestlers CJ Esparza and Gaige Noonan) for a quick victory. After the match, Big Bill says that they have recently whooped ass and that he and Bryan Keith will whoop The Hurt Syndicate's asses for the AEW World Tag Team Championships at Dynasty. MVP is about to say something, but Lashley stops him from doing so.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Mercedes Moné. Mercedes says Julia Hart is a very mysterious and unpredictable opponent, and that it will take more than tricks and spells to stop the money train.

He says that after a few experimental bouts, they want to expand their boundaries, and at Dynasty, they will watch and see all. Joe then warns the rest of the locker room not to let The Opps catch them lacking.

"Hangman" Adam Pearce shows up and yells at Swerve, saying he is wasting his time before arguing over old scores. Security shows up to hold both men back almost as soon as Swerve says "I know" when Hangman says he deserved to have his house burned down. After Hangman calms down and walks away, Swerve is attacked by The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Marina Shafir) and dragged to the ring. Claudio joins in on the attack, and Wheeler Yuta pours a pail full of shards of broken glass onto the center of the mat. Claudio then powerbombs Swerve into the broken glass, but as The Death Riders leave, Swerve rises up off the mat in anger. The Death Riders are in shock as the show ends.

It's time for Supernova Sessions. Tonight's guests are Lyra Valkyria and Roxanne Perez. Roxanne is introduced first, followed by Lyra. Lyra's arm is not in a sling as she heads to the ring. Roxanne says that on Saturday, she will get back the title that she never lost, and Lyra says Roxanne is not champion because Indi Hartwell climbed a ladder faster than her. She says that Roxanne blames everyone but herself for her failure and calls Roxanne hypocritical for being okay with suddenly winning a title only to be angry when Lola tries to do it. Roxanne tells Lyra not to talk about her like she knows her, then says she will knock her off her high horse and all the way down and see how her moral compass is then. She says she is a whole new person, and now she has it in her to snap her arm. She says that losing the NXT Women's Championship did not make her snap; instead, it made her more dangerous. Lyra tells Roxanne to save the excuses and that she is in for a fight Saturday, and tells her that while she wins, all Roxanne does is bitch. She then says Roxanne will have a lot more to bitch about after Stand & Deliver. Roxanne stands up and says Lyra wants to be seen as "the perfect champion," then says there is no perfect champion and that she has a whole year of rage pent out to let out on Saturday. Roxanne slaps Lyra, and Lyra fires back by putting Roxanne through a table with a Death Valley Driver.

Arianna Grace beats Wren Sinclair after grabbing the ropes during the bridge pin in the corner.

Back at the warehouse, Tony D'Angelo thanks Ilja Dragunov for coming and tells him he has taken care of the wheel clamp. Dragunov admits he is impressed with D'Angelo's mind games, but also knows what the warehouse represents. D'Angelo says the warehouse represents the end of Dragunov's title reign, and Dragunov says that while people have claimed they will beat him, nobody has done it. D'Angelo says he is not just anybody, but Dragunov reminds D'Angelo that he himself has called him unbreakable and that he will leave NXT Champion. D'Angelo grabs Dragunov's hand and says he could have taken him out any time he wanted to and could do so right now, but he will wait until the fans watch on Saturday when he breaks the unbreakable and leaves as NXT Champion. D'Angelo then summons a covered tray and tells Dragunov to enjoy his last supper while he and his family leave.

Sol Ruca beats Blair Davenport with a schookid pin to counter a knee to the face.

Carmelo Hayes heads to the ring with his security detail. Trick Williams soon shows up and joins him, and says they should both be happy that they are main eventing the biggest show of the year, then says it should not have been this way due to the bond they had. He says that as happy as he is, he is going to war with someone he used to call his brother. Carmelo says Trick came a long way, and Trick says that he was nervous and did not know if he belonged in the business, but he looked to his side and saw Carmelo with him. Carmelo says it was once them against the world, but now they are facing each other with the whole world watching and that the whole world will watch like when Trick ruined everything. Trick says Carmelo ruined everything, but Carmelo says he did "when the hero tells the story." He also says that Trick tried to go around his back to become NXT Champion as he tried to get the North American Championship back. He says that Trick went from being his brother to his enemy, but Trick says they both knew he was blowing up and he had to take a chance on himself, with Carmelo being happy with this. Carmelo says he paved a way for Trick, but Trick wanted to believe the hype and think he was ready for a position that was not open for him, as that position was and still is his and Trick will always take a back seat to him. Trick says his days of taking a back seat are long gone, and Carmelo says Trick used to be so humble before stating Trick was hot for six months while he was hot for three years. He tells Trick the fans will love him when he is on the rise, but soon the fans will "Switch on him like Nintendo," but Trick chalks everything up to jealousy that is written all over Carmelo's face. Carmelo says he does not care what the fans think of him and that only he will be in the ring with him when he learns the hard why he has been on top for so long.

He says that nobody - Adam Pearce, Roman Reigns or Daniel Bryan - understands the ramifications of their actions, and while he may have snapped at Fastlane, he has finally woken up and he is a man that Roman and Daniel both aspire to be and "The Rated R Superstar."

We hear from Apollo Crews, who says that his ancestors were never more disrespected than from Big E at Fastlane, and at WrestleMania, he and Big E will face each other in a Nigerian Drum Fight - an ancient duel created by his ancestors for those who are wronged to make things right in a match with no rules with a beating so loud it sounds like a drum - where he will become Intercontinental Champion as his family and the spirits of his ancestors drum along to the sound of Big E's bones cracking from his fists and the cheers of him becoming champion.

Brie says that Josie's passing has made her realize that there is something lacking in their marriage, and Bryan admits that Brie cannot be everything for him in her marriage, which makes Josie's death even harder. Brie feels like she should be doing these things, and tells Bryan that she does not want a second child and that she likes what they already have. Bryan says it feels a little unfair for her to say that before he sits in a plane for six hours, but Brie says she felt the need to get that out. She admits that she feels horrible, and says that they should communicate about their unhappiness in their marriage. Bryan says that Brie has gotten upset in past attempts and that he has tried to work things out on his own, but Brie says it doesn't work unless it is a team effort. It soon becomes obvious that there are some issues that Brie and Bryan need to work out in their marriage.

Artem admits that Nikki caught him off-guard, but Artem tells Nikki that he respects her decision.

At SmackDown Live in San Francisco, California, Bryan has a match with Erick Rowan. Bryan admits that leaving home on a point where he and Brie are in a rough patch is hard, and that they are farther apart in their relationship than they have ever been before.

At Brie and Bryan's house, Bryan returns home. Bryan apologizes for reacting aggressively to Brie not wanting a second child, and Brie apologizes for springing that on him before he went on the road. Bryan says that he feels even more lonely than before without Josie, and that there would be more love to go around with a second child. He also says that with the way their lives are right now, it would be more practical to have one child. Brie is happy that she and Bryan are on the same page.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown Live recap for April 2, 2019

The show starts with The Kevin Owens Show. Tonight's guests are Randy Orton, who shows up first, and "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, who shows up afterwards. Both men sit at the table, and Orton says he is proud of what he did last week as he saved the fans from a broken-down old man from beating a man who still thinks he is at the top of the game. Styles says Orton has learned only one move despite hanging out with legends. Orton says that when you have a move that deadly, you only need one, but Styles would not understand. He then states that Styles only thinks he had it so hard - as well as "indie guys" in general - while he was in WrestleMania. Styles says that Orton was also getting suspended for positive drug tests during that time. Orton tells Styles that if he was good as he thinks he is, he would have been in WWE a long time ago. He also states that Styles' legacy will not be his hard work paying off, but assuming the role of "corporate bitch" now that John Cena has headed to Hollywood. Kevin Owens leaves, then Orton and Styles have a stand-off. The stand-off quickly becomes a brawl, and a Phenomenal Forearm is countered into an RKO.

Aleister Black, Ricochet and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) beat Shinsuke Nakamura, Rusev and The Bar (Sheamus and Cesaro). After the match, Alexa Bliss shows up and says while a lot has changed since she left SmackDown Live, the brand has lost its spirit of competition, and cites The Usos forfeiting in last week's tag team gauntlet match as an example. She then announces that The Usos will defend the SmackDown tag team titles against all the teams they just shared the ring with in a Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Match at Wrestlemania. All four teams then brawl, and Ricochet and Aleister Black are the last team standing.

The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce) show up. Billie Kay says the state of the tag teams at WrestleMania is great, especially since they can pin anybody in their match to become Women's Tag Team Champions. Peyton says it is a no-brainer that they will win the Women's tag team titles and make WrestleMania IIconic.

It is announced that Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake is in the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2019.

Before the next match, The Miz says that WrestleMania is about a lot of things for another people. While Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey are making history and Kofi Kingston is trying to break through, he is looking for retribution. He says that he stands at the best version of himself because of family, and tells his wife Maryse and daughter Monroe Sky that he loves them and is proud of them, and that he fights with a full heart. He states that his match with Shane McMahon cannot be contained, which is why he asked for a Falls Count Anywhere match, and that at WrestleMania, he will beat Shane anywhere and everywhere. After what Shane did to him, he fights not for his father's approval, but for his honor. He then says Shane has a dad, which makes Shane a "son of a bitch." After SAnitY (Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe, Killian Dain) shows up, Shane McMahon shows up before the next match starts, Shane says he is here to get a more personal look, then demands ring announcer Greg Hamilton introduce him as "the best in the world."

The Miz beats SAnitY (Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe, Killian Dain) in a 1-on-3 handicap match. During the match, Shane McMahon changes the rule of the match to Falls Count Anywhere, then puts up a shot of himself attacking The Miz's dad on the TitanTron. Miz gets the win after ramming a crate into Eric Young's head. After the match, Shane McMahon pulls out of the parking lot in a nearby SUV. A police car then shows up, and Becky Lynch is seen coming out of the back.

We look back at The Hardy Boyz' (Jeff and Matt Hardy) return at WrestleMania 33, courtesy of Snickers.

Corey Graves is in the ring. After announcing that "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair has been released from jail on their own recognizance, he then introduces Becky Lynch. Becky takes the microphone and stands on the commentary table, and says it's good to be free, then says her mugshot shirt aged well before talking about how much has changed in the last year. She says that the strike to Charlotte Flair's face at SummerSlam changed everything, and after fighting her way back into title contention at this year's WrestleMania, she is now part of the main event. Becky proclaims that her revolution, which she calls "the real revolution," will explode when she becomes a double champion and the champion she always knew that she was.

The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy), Heavy Machinery (Tucker and Otis), R-Truth, Naomi, Asuka, Nikki Cross and Carmella vs. Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson), Andrade, EC3, Shelton Benjamin, Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, Zelina Vega and Lana ends in a no-contest after the match becomes an impromptu battle royal.

Samoa Joe beats Mustafa Ali - now known as just Ali - with the Coaquina Clutch.

"The New" Daniel Bryan and Rowan show up, and Michael Cole moderates the contract signing for Kofi Kingston vs. Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania. Cole introduces Kofi, who shows up with Xavier Woods and Big E. As the crowd chants for Kofi, Daniel Bryan signs the contract, then says he is not here to stop Kofi from signing the contract; instead, he is here to educate the masses like he has all along. He tells the fans not to become complacent much like Kofi has become complacent, as good is not good enough after 11 years and a little success is not successful enough. He also tells the fans not to be bystanders in their own lives like Kofi has, and wait on the sidelines for others to push them to the top much like Woods and Big E have for Kofi. Daniel then tells Kofi not to mistake a fad for reality, as he has been in Kofi's shoes and the way that the fans chanted "Yes!" for him is the same way they chant for Kofi. He tells Kofi that the fans feed off him, not the other way around, for they are parasites. He says that the fans need Kofi to fulfill any fantasy in their lives, and then dispose of him when they are done, then tells Kofi to suck this all in for this is the best it will be. Kofi gets angry and tells Daniel Bryan to shut up while he educates him, and says the more he hears Daniel talk, the more he realizes Daniel knows nothing about him. Kofi tells Daniel that he has seen him rise to where he is in WWE, and says that everything has led to this moment and that he can see that Daniel knows he is ready. He then says the only thing they have in common to this story is that Daniel knows what this situation feels like and that he is scared because he knows what comes next: Kofi beating him to become WWE Champion. Kofi then signs the contract to end the show.

Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!
