Raw Deal - Raw recap for April 6, 2026

CM Punk makes his way to the ring to start tonight's show. Punk says he has a history of things that happened and things that should have happened in the building. He mentions Paul Boesch and states that he loves to hear about "the old-timers" and how they would operate in times like this. Punk mentions that Roman Reigns is not here tonight, and talks about how Roman powerbombed him through the announce table with the help of The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) and strutted out like the king of the world, and he hoped to get his revenge and he got his receipt. He mentions that he put Roman through the announce table before mentioning that Roman hates him, which means that he has Roman where he wants him to be. Punk says being hated by losers is the price to pay for not being one of them. Punk says he gets why Roman hates him, then says the feeling is mutual as he states that they have the tools to reach the top. He then says his tools are self-made and sharpened to a point due to the work he has done while Roman's tools are store-bought, hand-delivered and plastic. He says he used to be too young to understand, but he is now too hold to give a damn, and says TKO has Roman represent WWE in the ring because he is fake, manufactured and saccharine while he is dangerous. Punk says he can do numerous TV appearances and still make it to the show while Roman uses them as a crutch and an excuse not to show up, and when he does show up, he shows up late and leaves early with his chest puffed up like he is The Rock. Punk says that The Rock was a Hollywood superstar just like Roman was a champion, but that dream is over because this is wrestling and not cinema. Punk says he does not have a cousin on the board of directors and a bunch of yes men who shield him from the truth, and that he has earned everything he was worked for while Roman ate dog food from a weird old man. He says that weird old man treated him like a dog for years, but he had "F-U money" and walked out on him, and he cannot be controlled. Punk says Roman can brag about how many times he has been at WrestleMania, yet if anyone talked about how Roman sucked at the first eight of them. Punk says he cannot be blackballed, because he can blow up a bridge and survive because he knows how to swim. Punk says that "everyone is getting it tonight," and even calls out Pat McAfee for thinking he can come to his business and run his mouth when he cashed a check that his narrow ass cannot cash. He tells McAfee to tell his agent who shoehorned him into the show to lower the ticket prices, as he will be damned if someone who kicked a football for a living talked to him about selling tickets and putting asses in seats, as McAfee has a receipt coming to him. Punk then demands the ticket prices be lowered so that whole families can see him standing on Roman Reigns' throat at WrestleMania. Afterwards, Punk spends some time with the first four rows opposite the hard cam.



We see footage of LA Knight showing up unexpectedly on iShowSpeed's recent livestream and attacking him. We then see iShowSpeed backstage looking for Danhausen, and he soon finds him. iShowSpeed begs for Danhausen to lift the curse, and Danhausen wants his mountain as payment for undoing the curse. When General Manager Adam Pearce shows up, Danhausen disappears, and Pearce tells iShowSpeed he should go home and let The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) and The Vision (Logan Paul and Austin Theory) hash things out. The Vision shows up, and Theory tells iShowSpeed to listen to them instead. iShowSpeed is about to leave, but Logan tells him that the only safe space is with them, and The Vision bring iShowSpeed to the ring as Pearce says this is a terrible idea.





Austin Theory beats LA Knight after Knight goes after iShowSpeed when Logan Paul shoves iShowSpeed into him. iShowSpeed runs away from Knight only for The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) to show up. iShowSpeed jumps over Knight and tries to run away, but gets caught. Logan Paul distracts Knight, and when Knight knocks Logan Paul off the apron, Theory pins Knight with a schoolkid pin for the win. After the match, LA Knight and The Usos confronts iShowSpeed, then The Usos go for the 1D on iShowSpeed only for Logan Paul to make the save. LA Knight calls for General Manager Adam Pearce before The Vision (Logan Paul and Austin Theory) and iShowSpeed can leave, and proposes a six-man tag match between the team of himself and The Usos and the team of iShowSpeed and The Vision. Pearce tells iShowSpeed he should have stayed home, but now he is going to WrestleMania, and it is official.





Grayson Waller and Kofi Kingston are seen arguing in the background as Finn Balor makes his way to the ring for the next match.

Finn Balor vs. JD McDonagh ends before it begins thanks to a cheap shot from behind by "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio. Finn Balor is able to fend them off, but Dominik blasts Finn Balor with the AAA Mega Championship before attacking him with a metal folding chair.



We see a brief video package for AJ Lee. We then see Michael Cole's interview with AJ Lee from earlier today. As AJ Lee says it is surreal to be back at WrestleMania, however, Becky Lynch interrupts the interview to insult Michael Cole. Michael says he does not need this and leaves, and this becomes a confrontation between AJ Lee and Becky. Becky says she remembered AJ Lee's final WrestleMania, and mentioned that AJ Lee came off as fake and saw her as her replacement. She tells AJ Lee that she will not have home field advantage at WrestleMania, because WrestleMania is her home. AJ Lee dares Becky to keep underestimating her, then says she is proud of Becky Lynch and everything she has done for the locker room. She then says that none of it happened without her, because she shattered the glass ceiling and knocked the walls down for her. She says that WWE kept calling her and that the fans never forgot her, then says she is not only her favorite wrestler's favorite wrestler, but also her daughter's favorite wrestler. Becky is angry after AJ Lee says she will see her at WrestleMania and leaves.



Bayley beats Lash Legend. During the match, Nia Jax trips Bayley on the outside, and when Nia slams Lyra Valkyria into the apron when Lyra goes after her, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss show up and attack Nia. Nia takes Charlotte, Alexa and Nia out with a splash to the outside, but Lash Legend catches up with Bayley when Bayley heads back to the top rope. Lash hits a Superplex, but Lyra grabs Lash by the feet and keep them held down so that Bayley can get the pin and the win.



Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans, rapper Bun B, and WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry are seen in the crowd.

We see a preview of Hulk Hogan: Real American, a brand-new documentary about Hulk Hogan coming to Netflix on April 22nd.

Seth "Freakin'" Rollins heads to the ring. Rollins says he has been gone for six months and has been waiting to hear the fans again, and the fans sing his theme before Rollins declares that he is back. He then talks about his match with Gunther at WrestleMania, admitting that there is no long history or personal issue between the two of them before concluding that Gunther has entered a business relationship with "The Oracle" Paul Heyman. Rollins says he has two missions: take back the World Heavyweight Championship, and kill The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory). He mentions Logan Paul and Austin Theory's blood feud with The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso), saying it will not end well, then mentions that Bron Breakker and "Big" Bronson Reed are on the shelf and that Brock Lesnar is on a silver platter for Oba Femi to Heyman's chagrin thanks to him. Rollins says that if Gunther is acting as a business partner and a shield for Heyman, then it has become business for Gunther and personal for him. All of a sudden, Gunther gets in the ring, but Rollins counters Gunther's sleeper with one of his own. Gunther avoids The Stomp, but throws Rollins over the announce table only for Rollins to hit him with the ground and pound. Officials have to separate both men, and that allows Gunther to boot Rollins in the face before he is forced to the back. Backstage, Gunther notices Heyman and smiles. Heyman says he does not know why Gunther did what he did at Madison Square Garden, as there is nothing personal between him and Rollins, then says he owes him a very big "thank you." Gunther says he is glad it is personal for Rollins, as it is also personal for him for the reasons he is thinking of. Gunther and Heyman then shake hands, then Gunther says Heyman owes him so much more than a very big "thank you."





We hear from Stephanie Vaquer, who says that Liv Morgan is not as clever as she thinks she is. She then says that if Liv Morgan wants to play dirty, she will play dirty. Vaquer says Liv talks a lot but says nothing, claims to run Raw, and handles her daddy issues with a pathetic excuse of a man who is jealous of his own father's success. Vaquer says she inspires girls everywhere to forge their own paths. She says that if Liv says it is on sight, then Liv will not see her coming, and at WrestleMania, she will not get her hands on the Women's World Championship, as she will take Liv where nobody can follow.

We see a brief scene of what looks like young dancers on chairs, similar to a music video. It only lasts a few seconds before we see Je'Von Evans' entrance.

Penta, Dragon Lee and Je'Von Evans beat Los Americanos (El Grande Americano II, Rayo Americano, Bravo Americano) in a six-man tag match. After the match, Rey Mysterio heads to the ring and says it is an honor to see Penta's career take off as WWE Intercontinental Championship, stating that his ladder match in WrestleMania has the potential to be one of the best in history. He says that he missed last year's WrestleMania due to injury, then says that he has spoken with General Manager Adam Pearce regarding this year's WrestleMania. He says that the ladder match is missing one more person: himself. Penta then says to Rey Mysterio "Let's make history."





We hear from Asuka. She says that she and Iyo Sky were once a family, but Iyo tried to take everything rom her. She says that Iyo destroyed what they had and tore their family apart even after everything she did for her and Kairi Sane. She never expected Iyo to thank her, as she did everything for her out of love. Now she realizes she loved Iyo too much, as she took advantage of her kindness and used her, and now, she must pay. Asuka says she will always be Iyo's senpai, and as senpai, she will teach her one last painful lesson in the ring and take everything from her.

Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky beat "Michin" Mia Yim and B-Fab after Iyo pins B-Fab with a surprise victory roll. After the match, Michin and B-Fab gang up on Iyo Sky as Jade Cargill directs traffic, and Rhea Ripley shows up as Michin gets in the ring with a shinai and cleans house only to be laid out with a pump kick by Cargill. Michin and B-Fab hold Rhea down in the corner, and Rhea dares Cargill to hit her before Cargill grabs the shinai and striking Iyo Sky instead while Rhea is forced to watch. Cargill then hits Iyo Sky with Jaded before she, Michin and B-Fab leave.



We hear from Finn Balor. He says that he brought the beating from earlier tonight on himself, and hoped that he would do things the easy way. Unfortunately, he taught "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh how to play dirty, then says playtime is over and that Dominik is about to see a side of him that he thought he would never come back. He says that side of him is back, and at WrestleMania, it is coming for Dominik. Backstage, The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Raquel Rodriguez) briefly talk about Finn Balor before mentioning their plans to bring new championship gold to the faction. Dominik and McDonagh leave, then Roxanne Perez meets up with Liv and Raquel. Raquel leaves, then Liv thanks Roxanne for her help before stating there is an elephant in the room with Roxanne joining at Finn Balor's behest. As Liv said that what happened to Finn Balor had to be done, she is suddenly shoved into Roxanne and thrown into the nearby television by Stephanie Vaquer.



WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque and General Manager Adam Pearce head to the ring for the contract signing between Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar for their WrestleMania match. After the commercial break, Pearce says that the match will be a true clash between two titans before Paul Heyman suddenly shows up and hypes the match up as "one of the most anticipated WrestleMania matches in decades, if not ever." Heyman then introduces Brock Lesnar as "the conqueror of the ruler," stating that the ruler cannot measure up. Heyman and Lesnar then head to the ring, then Oba Femi is introduced. Oba Femi then makes his way to the ring. Oba stares down Lesnar from the apron, and Lesnar charges at Oba as he enters the ring. This leads to a brawl on the outside, and Pearce quickly calls for security as both men brawl. Both men are separated in opposite corners, and security has to go through hell to separate both men again as one keeps lunging at the other with a splash in the corner. Lesnar throws a chair at Oba, but Oba tosses it back at Lesnar. The show then ends.

Dynasty 2025 - The LIVE Results



Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Ricochet, who says that ever since he debuted in AEW, he is on the quest for championship gold, but he has been screwed every step of the way. He says that tonight, nothing will stop him from going out there and becoming the new AEW International Champion and showing why he is out of this world.

Cru (Lio Rush and Action Andretti) and "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne beat Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) and AR Fox in a trios match after Mother Wayne provides the distraction while Leila Grey deals with Kip Sabian on the outside.

Before the next match, "Platinum" Max Caster tries and fails to get the fans to do his chant, then asks the fans to show up for him like they have for all the great athletes who have come to Philadelphia, or Ben Simmons. He tries and fails again to get the fans to follow his chant, then issues an open challenge. The lights go out, and when they come back on, Anthony Bowens answers with Billy Gunn in tow.

Anthony Bowens quickly beats "Platinum" Max Caster.

Will Ospreay beats Kevin Knight to advance in the men's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament.

MVP guests on commentary for the next match.

The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin) retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships against The Learning Tree ("The Redwood" Big Bill and "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith). During the match, MJF shows up from out of nowhere in the front row and clocks Big Bill. This allows The Hurt Syndicate to double team Bryan Keith to win and retain.

Mercedes Moné beats Julia Hart to advance in the women's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament following a series of pinfall and submission attempts.

The Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC) retain the AEW World Trios Championships against Adam Copeland and FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) after Yuta leaps over a Spear by Copeland, shoves Copeland into Dax and hits Dax with a Busaiku Knee. After the match, Cash and Copeland help Dax up, and after they celebrate, Dax hits Copeland with a piledriver. As Cash checks on Copeland, Dax grabs two chairs for a Con-Chair-To, then hands the second chair to Cash only for Cash to throw it away and shove Dax. FTR then hits Copeland with a Shatter Machine followed by a double-team spike piledriver on a metal folding chair, then Cash finishes the job and hits the Con-Chair-To. Cash then hits it a second time as Doc Sampson gets in the ring to check on Copeland and call for help. One member of medical brings out a neck brace, which Cash wears before he lays on the stretcher so that Dax can pretend to resuscitate him. Cash then takes off the neck brace, saying "He needs it more than I do" before tossing it back in the ring before he and Dax head to the back. Copeland is then attended to by medical staff.

We see footage of "Timeless" Toni Storm in a Rocky-like training montage prior to her entrance for the next match.

"Timeless" Toni Storm retains the AEW Women's World Championship after countering the Fate's Descent with an inside cradle. During the match, Luther grabs Penelope Ford as she is attacking Toni from the ring apron and carries her off to the back.

"The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher beats Mark Briscoe to advance in the men's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament.

"The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho retains the Ring of Honor World Championship against Bandido in a mask vs. title match after "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith heads to the ring only for Gravity to catch up with him and attack him. As referee Bryce Remsburg is distracted and referee Aubrey Edwards shows up to break up the brawl, Jericho grabs a baseball bat and hits Bandido with it, then hides it behind the ring steps to win, retain and force Bandido to unmask...almost. Referee Aubrey Edwards talks to Bandido's mother and sister in the front row, and they tell her about the baseball bat, which Aubrey finds. Referee Bryce Remsburg restars the match as a resut. Jericho puts his hands on Bandido's sister, and that allows Bandido to hit the 21-Plex to win the match and the championship. Bandido beats "The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho to become the ROH World Champion for a second time! After the match, Bandido celebrates with his family, then cuts a championship winning promo at the Spanish announce table.

Kenny Omega retains the AEW International Championship against Ricochet and "Speedball" Mike Bailey with an avalanche One Winged Angel on Ricochet, leaving Speedball upside down in the corner in the process. After the match, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada shows up, and he has a brief staredown with Omega in the ring.

Swerve Strickland has a Static Shock-themed entrance and wrestling gear before the next match.

Jon Moxley retains the AEW World Championship against Swerve Strickland. During the match, Jon Moxley throws a chair at Swerve Strickland, but ends up hitting referee Paul Turner instead. "Hangman" Adam Page shows up and prepares for a Buckshot Lariat, but after looking at Swerve, he also looks at Moxley. Hangman is stopped and ganged up on by The Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC), but when he is held down for a Busaiku Knee by Wheeler Yuta, Hangman is able to dodge, and Yuta ends up hitting Claudio inadvertently instead. Hangman hits Moxley with the Deadeye, but he is attacked by The Death Riders again until The Opps (Samoa Joe, Hook, "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata) show up and fight them, and their brawl takes both teams to the back. Swerve takes a chair and throws it at Moxley, then hits him with the Swerve Stomp. When he goes for the pin, the lights go out, and when they come back on, The Young Bucks (Nicholas and Matthew Jackson) are in the ring, and they hit Swerve with the EVP-Trigger. They get out of the ring before Moxley comes back with referee Paul Turner to pin, win and retain.

Here are the highlights from tonight's show!



Let's Go! - LFG recap for April 6, 2025

We find out that Dani Sekelsky is not medically cleared for this week and that Troy Yearwood is sick for this week. Meanwhile, Bubba Ray Dudley is happy that his team has scored their first point while also taking baby steps forward. Booker T issues a challenge of a push-up contest to Chris Island, but Island outlasts him after 48 push-ups.

Shawn Michaels meets with the Legends and Future Greats. He asks the Legends who their front runners are if this were to all end this week. Bubba Ray picks Zena, Booker T picks Jasper Troy, Mickie James picks Chris Island, and The Undertaker says he is "still open." Tyra Mae admits that she picked The Undertaker as her coach for his honesty. Shawn Michaels then announces that this week's challenge is all about signature maneuvers, and that this week's guest Diamond Dallas Page. DDP credits having the Diamond Cutter - a signature move that he could do to anybody at any time - for bringing his career to the next level quickly despite starting out in wrestling later in life. DDP then says that whoever has the best signature move will win this week's challenge, and that he wants to see their best and that he wants to see their passion, stating that he will be watching his face and eyes as much as their bodies.

Afterwards, the Future Greats work on signature moves. Sirena wants another match to make up for how she came up short on her last one. Some of them come up with something, while others work at it. Cutler James comes up with the "Uppercutler." Chris Island brings up his idea for a finisher: "KJP," also known as "Kal Jak's Promise," named after Kal Jak, who was in developmental for two years until suffering a shoulder injury that ended his time there and was also instrumental in introducing Chris Island to professional wrestling, and wants to do his finishing move as his signature. Meanwhile, Sirena gets permission from Molly Holly to do the Molly-Go-Round, but Molly wants to see how Sirena good is at the top rope first. She ends up being able to pull off the move in practice. Bayley Humphrey builds on her head vice by turning it into a slam for a signature move. Elijah Holyfield comes up with a signature punch. Zena wants to do a tilt-a-whirl side slam, but cannot do it safely with Tatyanna. Bubba Ray wants Zena to try it with the lightest girl, who is Dani, but Dani is not medically cleared this week, which causes Bubba to say "You're useless." Chris Island comes to Dani's defense for this, which causes an argument between the two. Bully says Zena gets his sense of humor, but Chris Island does not. Mickie James says that Chris Island did just fine and knew where he was coming from.





Bubba Ray picks Zena and Cutler for their finishers. Mickie James picks Chris Island and Sirena by default, as they are the only ones who are cleared. The Undertaker picks Elijah and Bayley Humphrey. Booker T takes Leigh Laurel and Anthony Luke.

Anthony Luke beats Cutler James after hitting his "Lights Camera Action" signature after getting his foot on the rope when Cutler hits the "Uppercutler." Booker T says Anthony Luke delivered, while Bubba Ray compliments Cutler on putting flavor on the front and back end of a European uppercut. Diamond Dallas Page loved that Anthony's finisher came out of nowhere.

Zena Sterling beats Leigh Laurel with the tilt-a-whirl side slam, which she calls "The Watchamacallit." Bubba Ray was impressed with both women, and says Zena passed with flying colors for protecting her opponent while performing her signature move. Booker T and Bubba Ray love Leigh's gear, but Booker T wants Leigh to shift gears and The Undertaker says she needs an energy to match her look. Leigh looks like she is about to break down emotionally after that, and Mickie James asks her if she is okay, and Leigh admits she had the wind knocked out of her. Diamond Dallas Page says that embarrassment is the cost of entry and and to take the positive criticism to the next level while not getting into her head with the negative, and to go outside of one's box.

Chris Island beats Elijah Holyfield with the KJP. Mickie James says both men had their best today. The Undertaker and Bubba Ray do not like the necklace and earrings that Elijah wore, and consider them a distraction. Bubba Ray also takes offense to the argument that he and Chris Island had earlier today, and tells him to watch his mouth unless he wants a target on his chest and wants him gunning for him, but also tells Chris Island that he had his best in-ring performance in the competition to date. DDP says that Chris Island brought it.

Bayley Humphrey beats Sirena Linton. Mickie James says she loved the match and that she is proud. The Undertaker says they did well for Bayley's third match and Sirena's second match, and that he is proud of both of them, and Diamond Dallas Page feels much the same way. Bubba Ray says that there was "a tale of two matches" in their match with the front two minutes and the back two minutes, and that "all they remember is the finish." He says that everything was "to the moon" after Sirena hit the Molly-Go-Round, and Sirena gets kudos from Bully Ray after being so hard on herself. Molly Holly tells Sirena that she is proud of her.

The points are given. Booker T is impressed with Anthony Luke for putting three moves together for a great signature. Mickie James gives kudos to Sirena for asking for Molly Holly's blessing for the Molly-Go-Round and proving she could do the move. The Undertaker says Elijah was able to pull off the task and that everyone did well. Bubba Ray says that Chris Island, Elijah, Cutler James and Anthony Luke stepped forward today. Diamond Dallas Page says he was blown away by everyone today, especially given everyone's experience, but Anthony Luke caught him off guard with "Lights Camera Action." He also gives the nod to Sirena for hitting the Molly-Go-Round. Team Undertaker and Team Booker are tied at five points each, Team Mickie James are at two points, and Team Bubba Ray is still at one point.

Championship Gold - Championship Wrestling recap for April 6, 2025

The Wolf Zaddies (Che Cabrera and Bad Dude Tito) retain the UWN Tag Team Championships against The Infantry ("The Captain" Shawn Dean and "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo) by the slimmest of margins when Carlie Bravo is unable to make the save in time.

Backstage, David Marquez interviews The Wolf Zaddies (Che Cabrera and Bad Dude Tito). Che Cabrera says they will take this victory, and Bad Dude Tito says that they will take on and defend against any team from anywhere. Suddenly, they are attacked by The Infantry ("The Captain" Shawn Dean and "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo), and officials and security have to break it up. Carlie Bravo says it is not over between the two teams. Tito says that The Wolf Zaddies run from nobody as even the locker room has to break up the brouhaha.

"Pretty" Peter Avalon heads to the ring. Avalon announces that the United Wrestling Network and Championship Wrestling is back, then announces that during the show's hiatus, he has been promoted to head matchmaker. Avalon immediately goes back to his "Professional" moniker before going right down to business, announcing that the first ever UWN Women's Champion is about to be crowned. He also announces that "BHK" Kevin Martenson has retired and that a five-way scramble will take place to crown a new UWN Heritage Champion, and that anybody could be in that match.

Backstage, Jack Farmer interviews Scorpio Sky. He says that it is great to be back and would not be the wrestler he is without the United Wrestling Network. Suddenly, Ice Williams shows up and tells him to "scooch on" after setting the pace for the future, because "the future is Ice." Scorpio sees that Ice Williams is seeing him as a stepping stone and tells him to slow down, as he likes nothing more than the confidence of someone like Ice Williams melting away when the bell rings. After Scorpio Sky tells him that he will be just another opponent to him, Ice Williams slowly backs off.

We hear from Danny Limelight, who says that the best have lined up all over the world and that it feels good to be back, but he has had a lot going on recently and that next week, he will tell the fans what is next for him.

Before the next match, Jordan Castle introduces "One In A Million" Maximilien Monclair.

"One In A Million" Maximilien Monclair beats Fidel Bravo with the Maxi-Million Dollar Dream.

We hear from "Outlandish" Zicky Dice down in south Georgia. He knocks on a nearby door and Aaron Solo opens up, asking for the password, which is "password." QT Marshall then shows up, and after initially not wanting to do anything with Zicky, he tells him to put the UWN Television Championship on the line against him. If Zicky can retain against QT Marshall, he might get an opportunity at The Nightmare Factory.

"Professional" Peter Avalon debuts the new design of the UWN United Heritage Championship. He announces that next week, there will be a five-way scramble to decide a new champion.

Scorpio Sky beats Ice Williams. After the match, Scorpio Sky extends his hand for a handshake, but Ice Williams slaps it away.

Collision Course - Collision recap for April 6, 2024

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) beat Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) to advance to the AEW World Tag Team Championship Tournament finals at Dynasty.



We see a video package for "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, directed by The Young Bucks (Matthews and Nicholas Jackson) and narrated by Nigel McGuinness.

PAC beats Encore Moore with the Brutalizer After the match, PAC says he is done waiting for opportunities that he deserves, and that he will now take matters into his own hands. He says he is on a mission to show everyone who he is: the best professional wrestler in the world. He then calls out "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada to see if he can survive him, because he says he cannot, and says that he eagerly awaits a response.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson. Danielson says it has never been about proving he is better than everyone else, but to see how good he is in relation to himself. He says that one is in a constantly revolving wheel of evolution, and that he is not the same now as he was when he was 21. Danielson says that it all about testing himself, and while he knows the fans will enjoy his match with Will Ospreay, fan reaction is not exactly why he does it.

"The Lionheart" Chris Jericho and Hook beat Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor and "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty) with a Lion Tamer from Jericho to Moriarty. After the match, Anthony Ogogo, who has not been seen in AEW for some time, attacks Jericho and Hook, and Shane Taylor Promotions joins in. Taylor and Moriarty eventually hold Jericho down so that Ogogo can knock him out, then the three of them drape the Shane Taylor Promotions banner on top of Jericho.



We hear from "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes, who says he hears that he is underappreciated, and says that those people are right. He says that for 36 years, he has stood across every person imaginable. He says that he remembers seeing Dusty Rhodes bring home the NWA World Heavyweight Championship for the first time when he was a kid and thinking that he would become a world heavyweight champion. he says he has not accomplished this goal in 36 years, and while Samoa Joe is under no obligation to face him, he wants a chance at the AEW World Heavyweight Championship next week on Dynamite. He says that if Joe defends the title, he will not regret it, but warns him that he is scared of no man and that Joe is no different.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Will Ospreay. Ospreay says everyone in AEW is a bit quicker and he is trying to keep up, and that he is more used to the Japanese style, which is why he is comfortable facing "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson. He says that while it is an honor to wrestle Danielson, he does not very this any differently from any other match. Ospreay says that this "the best of all time versus the best of the 21st century" in a company where wrestlers wrestle.

The House of Black (Malakai Black, Brody King, Buddy Matthews) beat "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels, Matt Sydal and "The Outlaw" Bryan Keith in a trios match. After the match, Adam Copeland heads to the ring, but he is overpowered by The House of Black until Mark Briscoe and FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) make the save. Suddenly, The Young Bucks (Nicholas and Matthew Jackson) show up, and they brawl with FTR on the stage before Copeland hits Brody King with a chair works together with Mark Briscoe to take out Buddy Matthews. When Malakai Black gets back in the ring, FTR, Copeland and Mark Briscoe are in the ring, and he flees. Matthew ends up in the ring, and FTR almost get their hands on him before Nicholas pulls him out.



Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews "Azucar" Rocky Romero. Romero says he has won championships all over Mexico and Japan, but has yet to do so in AEW. He wants an AEW International Championship Eliminator Match against Roderick Strong, and says there is nobody more international than him. Undisputed Kingdom shows up, and Roderick Strong says Romero's chances at beating him are "at 1%" and that he will be able to tell his grandchildren that he got beaten by a wrestling legend.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews "The Lionheart" Chris Jericho and Hook. Jericho says he is pissed off after the beatdown that they got, then says that he and Hook welcome the challenge. Jericho says that they may not have a third man, but Hook says he does: Katsuyori Shibata, who says he will have Hook's back and that Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty, Anthony Ogogo) are going down.

Yuka Sakazaki beats Trish Adora. After the match, Serena Deeb shows up and applauds Yuka for winning.



We hear from "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard and Daniel Garcia. Menard says Garcia has barely begun to scratch the surface on his career and got a big win last night, and now the two of them want more. Garcia says he is not a young boy anymore, and that he motivated by those who are in the full prime of their career as they are some of the best wrestlers that he has ever seen in his entire life. Garcia proclaims that it is time to insert himself into conversations about who the best of all time are, and tha the two of them are here for more and are coming for more.

Claudio Castagnoli beats The Butcher.

Owens says he is moving on to bigger and better things, but whatever he does, he is here to stay and he will keep fighting.

Seth Rollins quickly beats Denzel Dejournette.

She says that the woman makes the title and that she stands as two-time NXT Women's Champion. Charlotte says that Rhea Ripley was alright, but she bows down to the Queen like every other woman in WWE.

In footage from after WrestleMania, Drew McIntyre heads to the ring with the WWE Championship around his waist. He is interviews in the ring by Sarah Schreiber, and says that the magnitude of his win has not him quite yet after twenty minutes. McIntyre thanks Paul Heyman for telling Brock Lesnar to keep giving him the F-5, as his life flashed before his eyes at that moment and he kept getting angrier every time he did it. He also says he would Claymore Kick Lesnar as many times as it would take, and now it has made him the WWE Champion. Suddenly, Big Show shows up with a referee. Big Show congratulates McIntyre before telling him that every Superstar will be gunning for him, then says it is a big man's world and McIntyre is no giant. McIntyre says he knows where this is going, but Big Show says he "doesn't know shit." McIntyre says he is not fighting right now due to having just fought Lesnar, but Big Show accuses him of cowardice. McIntyre says this is his first day and that he is not afraid of Big Show, and that he knows he is trying to push his buttons as he says there is nothing he can do to convince him to fight tonight. Big Show responds by slapping him. This starts a match.



Drew McIntyre retains the WWE Championship against Big Show.
