Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 2, 2026

The show begins with Bron Breakker tearing apart the commentary table at ringside before toppling it over and demanding a microphone. The rest of The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) tries to reason with Breakker as he calls out General Manager Adam Pearce, saying that if he wants to ruin his Royal Rumble, he will ruin his show. Paul Heyman takes the microphone and blames Adam Pearce for what happened to Breakker at Royal Rumble, and claims that Pearce knows who attacked Breakker. Breakker then gives Adam Pearce until the count of three to show his face, and Pearce shows up with seven security guards as he says that the last time the masked man showed up, it ended up being Austin Theory. Pearce lets Breakker keep his job after his "piss-poor performance at the Rumble," then LA Knight shows up from behind, striking down the rest of The Vision with a metal folding chair. A peeved Breakker asks Heyman what they are going to do know before they and security head to the back.

Je'Von Evans beats El Grande Americano. During the match, Rayo Americano distracts the referee so that Bravo Americano can trip Je'Von off the top rope and Rayo can pass the metal plate to El Grande Americano. Suddenly, the original El Grande Americano shows up, distracting Los Americanos (El Grande Americano II, Rayo Americano, Bravo Americano) and allowing the referee to take the metal plate away. Je'Von Evans hits El Grande Americano II with the OG Cutter for the pin and the win.



Gunther shows up to "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles' entrance and pyro before the music switches to his own as heads to the ring, laughing to the fans' reactions to him. Gunther brags about retiring AJ Styles like he did John Cena and Bill Goldberg, and says that Styles found out that when one steps into the ring with "The Career Killer," their career and legacy die. Dragon Lee shows up as Gunther addresses the fans in German, and when Gunther approaches him, Dragon Lee wastes no time in beating him up, even sending him into the ring post when a hurricanrana. Dragon Lee runs across ringside for a massive drop kick only for Gunther to stop him cold by hitting him in the face with the ring bell before putting him in a sleeper hold. Officials and referees have to pull Gunther off Dragon Lee. Both men are separated, but Gunther puts Dragon Lee in another sleeper, this time with Dragon Lee hanging off the ring apron before he is sent into unconsciousness and dropped to the floor.



Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce is met by "The Oracle" Paul Heyman, who politely demands that Pearce put Bron Breakker in a match with LA Knight. Pearce says he cannot do it, as he has had LA Knight escorted out of the building. He also tells Heyman to escort Breakker out of the building, and that "Big" Bronson Reed has a match with Penta tonight. Heyman reminds him of who he is talking to in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Pearce responds with "FAFO."

Backstage, "The Oracle" Paul Heyman tries to reason with Bron Breakker, but Bron Breakker walks out, screaming "I...do not...care."

Oba Femi shows up before the next match and decimates The War Riaders (Ivar and Erik) single-handedly.



We hear from Finn Balor. He says that professional wrestling is a business built on respect, and everywhere he has went, he has always given respect; yet the longer he is here, the more he gives respect, the less it is returned. He says he has been taken for granted and that what happened in Belfast, Northern Ireland was not a one-off, yet the men's Royal Rumble was full. He says respect only gets one so far in the business, and he wants it all and he wants the World Heavyweight Championship, and he is willing to do bad things to get CM Punk.



The Bella Twins (Nikki and Brie Bella) head to the ring. Nikki mentions that this is the first time that both she and Brie have been in a WWE ring in over seven years and that "Brie Mode" is back. Brie says she did not return because Nikki was getting her butt kicked and needed rescue, but because the two of them were "the original tag team," and because the women's division is better than it's ever been and they want in. Brie says that the two of them want to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships.



Backstage, Alpha Academy (Otis and Akira Tozawa) are met by comedian Bert Kreischer. Bert says he is looking to Alpha Academy's tag team title match next week, then Maxxine Dupri shows up. Bert hopes that Maxxine Dupri takes Nattie to task next week, and Maxxine says that what Nattie did to her is beyond the pale and that she will break her ankle.

Penta beats "Big" Bronson Reed by count-out. During the match, Austin Theory gets on the apron, but Penta takes him down, and when Logan Paul does the same, Penta takes him down, too. As this goes on, the referee also gets taken out by Penta as Penta goes after Logan! Bronson Reed counters the Destroyer with the Jagged Edge followed by the Tsunami, but the referee is down. Bronson grabs a metal folding chair from the timekeeper's area, but he is stopped by LA Knight, who hits him with a BFT into the chair before fleeing through the crowd as Austin Theory and Logan Paul chase after him. At this point, the referee has recovered, and when "The Oracle" Paul Heyman explains to the referee what has happened, the referee counts "Big" Bronson Reed out. Bronson Reed is unable to get back into the ring in time, and Penta, who is still in the ring, wins.



We see a video package chronicling the events leading up to Raquel Rodriguez vs. Stephanie Vaquer in a Philadelphia Street Fight for the Women's World Championship later tonight.

Comedian Bert Kreischer is seen in the front row.

"Dirty" Dominik Mysterio heads to the ring. Dominik says he is only here to celebrate and introduce the winner of the 2026 women's Royal Rumble, Liv Morgan. Liv shows up and makes her way to the ring. Liv declares herself the greatest Royal Rumble winner of all time, then says everyone will have to wait a little bit longer to see who she faces at WrestleMania, and that she will be heading to SmackDown to assess her options. She also announces that there will be a new Women's World Champion tonight, and introduces Raquel Rodriguez to the ring. Raquel mentions that while everyone has been celebrating Liv's Royal Rumble victory, she wants to know why Liv eliminated her. Liv says she knows Raquel better than anyone else and that Raquel is not a selfish person, and now they both have title opportunities. Raquel tells Liv to stay in the back, as it will make her victory that much sweeter when she wins the Women's World Championship on her own.



Stephanie Vaquer retains the Women's World Championship against Raquel Rodriguez in a Philadelphia Street Fight despite Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez assisting Raquel at the end of the match. After the match, Liv Morgan hits Vaquer with Ob-Liv-Ion before lifting up the Women's World Championship.



Roman Reigns shows up at the arena from the back of a black Range Rover and heads to the ring. Roman talks about how he won his first championship on his daughter's birthday, lost his last championship and also won his first Royal Rumble all in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He also mentions being in Philadelphia after winning his second Royal Rumble. He says that this is the perfect city to be in given his history with the fans and that he has a decision to make, and asks the fans if he should go after the title that he made and go after Drew McIntyre, or if he should go after CM Punk for the World Heavyweight title. CM Punk suddenly shows up and heads to the ring. CM Punk calls out Finn Balor, and when Roman Reign calls out Punk for interrupting him, Punk says he is the champion here and calls the shots while Roman is just a visitor. Punk them mentions Roman's big decision as to which champion he should face at WrestleMania, then says he knows who Roman is picking and tells him to take the easy way out and pick Drew McIntyre. Roman admits he does not like McIntyre, but says that McIntyre is "four times bigger" than Punk and had him "crying over a plastic bracelet." Punk tells Roman to be careful, as they ran out of staples putting McIntyre back together after Hell in a Cell. Roman says he beat McIntyre for three years straight, but Punk asks "How many of you and your cousins?" Roman tells Punk to be careful about how he mentions his family, and says that the two of them are why WWE is where it is at. Punk says Roman thought he was holding the company high when he held both world titles when he was really holding it hostage, then mentions Roman's recent comments about how nobody has been filling his shoes. He then goes on to mention his 434-day WWE Championship reign, saying that Roman ran with it and was champion for well over 1300 days, and says that while Roman did it longer, it does not mean that he did it better. Punk says that Roman has earned the right to be a part-timer while he chooses to go to ten countries in three weeks and see all the fans nationwide, and chooses to be a fighting champion while Roman chooses to follow in his footsteps. Punk says he is proud of Roman, then tells him that he has two mountains in front of him, with one being a guy he thinks he can beat while another a guy who he cannot touch because he is the best in the world. Roman says Punk is only taking every time because he took a ten-year vacation and says he would do the same thing, then says the only thing he learned from CM Punk was what not to do, as Punk would not be back without him. He says he made the promise to Paul Heyman and did the best he could, but he made a fool out of him before he left and made a fool out of him after he came back. He then picks CM Punk because he has always hated him and he will make Punk acknowledge him.

They're On A Rampage - Rampage recap for February 2, 2024



Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) beat Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy). After the match, Private Party sarcastically pat Top Flight on the head as Top Flight go for a post-match handshake.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Sammy Guevara. Sammy says losing sucks, but his tag team title loss feels different because it is not just about him, but his daughter. He says the titles not only represent being the best, but having a better life, and The Don Callis Family took it away. He says he is medically cleared again, and that he is not going to wait for a match to go after Powerhouse Hobbs.

Backstage, Sonjay Dutt, Jeff Jarrett, Karen Jarrett and Satnam Singh wait for Jay Lethal to show up. Karen mentions potential team names and a photo shoot, and Satnam Singh mentions Lethal losing all his matches.

Jeff then states that he is setting up a team meeting for next week.

Darby Allin guests on commentary for the next match.

"Absolute" Ricky Starks and Big Bill beat The Dark Order (John Silver and Alex Reynolds).



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Powerhouse Hobbs and Don Callis.

Hobbs says he knows what he took away from Sammy and that he has a family as well, and that Sammy had better pray that he does not find him first.

Willow Nightingale beats Queen Aminata.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Best Friends (Orange Cassidy, Chuck Taylor, Trent Beretta, Rocky "Azucar" Romero). Orange Cassidy says he knows Undisputed Kingdom (Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Matt Taven, Mike Bennett, Wardlow) will interrupt them, and they do so, almost on cue. Orange says he knows he and Roddy will fight at Revolution, but since Undisputed Kingdom does things that make his friends angry, he wants a four-on-four match. Adam Cole mentions Chuck Taylor not being cleared to compete, and proposes a trios match with Taven, Bennett and Roddy against Orange, Beretta and Romero. Orange accepts it for next week's Rampage.

Mistico, Volador Jr., Hechicero and Mascara Dorada beat "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels, Matt Sydal, "Cool Hand" Angelo Parker and "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard in an eight-man tag match.

We look back at Matt Morgan vs. Sting vs. Hernandez vs. "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles vs. Kurt Angle for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at No Surrender 2009.

Gia Miller interviews Jody Threat for Around The Ring. Jody Threat admits that she is a big fan of brunch due to the mood of it, and considers eggs benedict with salmon and a few capers, with either a Caesar (which is similar to a Bloody Mary, except with clam juice), a black coffee, or water, on a patio during an August late morning/early afternoon in Toronto at 32 degrees Celsius (89 degrees Fahrenheit) as a very good brunch. Gia Miller admits that she has had a raw oyster in a Bloody Mary before.

Before the next match, John Skyler says he is so excited that TNA is back, yet he is also disappointed that it is back in Orlando, Florida, as their most prominent citizen is a cartoon mouse. He says that would be an infestation anywhere else in the country, then says everyone will call Jason Hotch the man that beat a former world champion when he disposes of Rich Swann with "those good hands." After Rich Swann makes his entrance, AJ Francis shows up and guests on commentary for the match.

Jason Hotch beats Rich Swann after A.J. Francis distracts Swann as he goes for the Phoenix Splash, causing Swann to miss and giving Hotch the win.

Blair Davenport beats Carlee Bright.



Brooks Jensen beats Dante Chen.



Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for February 2, 2024



Logan Paul heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Logan admits that he underestimated Kevin Owens, saying he "looks like a pissed off doughnut" but made him fight in their match and did more damage to him than Floyd Mayweather, as he made him bleed and nearly knocked him out. He then brags that Owens still lost and that he is still champion, and that he is the toughest person on a "brittle roster" and makes fun of people complaining about history before proclaiming that he is "unbreakable." Suddenly, Kevin Owens shows up and tells Logan he forgot to describe himself as "an unbearable idiot" before stating that he still got the moral victory and that it felt better than knocking him out. Owens then proclaims that he is ready to bring back some prestige to the United States Championship by taking it from Logan Paul and sanitizing it as soon as possible, then tells Owens that he wasted his one shot and took the bait from the brass knuckles. Owens reminds Logan that he will stop at nothing to win and admits that he got caught, and gives credit to the referee for their match before telling Logan that next time they get in the ring for the title, he will not need brass knuckles to beat him. Logan tells him that it is over for Owens and that he will find a real challenger who is not Owens before telling Owens to focus on his match with Austin Theory while he talks smack about him on commentary.



Logan Paul guests on commentary for the next match.

Kevin Owens beats Austin Theory. During the match, Logan Paul passes some brass knuckles to Austin Theory, but Owens takes them away, superkicks Grayson Waller and punches Theory with the knuckles while Logan Paul tries to warn the refere before hiding the brass knuckles for the win. After the match, Logan flees through the crowd when Owens runs after him.



As Trinity and other female Superstars celebrate Trinity signing to SmackDown, Tiffany Stratton shows up with a SmackDown contract that she just signed and asks where her applause is. After stepping up to Bianca Belair, she then slaps "Michin" Mia Yim and runs away. General Manager Nick Aldis keeps everyone from chasing after Tiffany, and Mia Yim wants a match with Tiffany tonight. Aldis grants it.



Backstage, Bianca Belair meets with General Manager Nick Aldis, wanting to know how to get into the championship picture. As Aldis says he and General Manager Adam Pearce are looking into it, Logan Paul interrupts, wanting another challenger, much to the chagrin of Bianca.

We see Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Humberto, Angel, Elektra Lopez) at a restaurant. Santos Escobar says he looks at the table and that his heart is filled with joy, as there is nothing more valuable than family in his universe. He says that they are the bearers of the legacies of their families and that and that they must eradicate The Latino World Order (Rey Mysterio, Joaquin Wilde, Cruz del Toro, Carlito, Zelina Vega) having a toast to honor and loyalty.



Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne beat Pretty Deadly (Kit Wilson and Elton Prince), Legado del Fantasma (Humberto and Angel) and The Latino World Order (Joaquin Wilde and Cruz del Toro) to face the winners of next week's Raw's Fatal 4-Way tag team match.



"Michin" Mia Yim vs. Tiffany Stratton is official for later tonight.

Backstage, Iyo Sky, Kairi Sane and Asuka converse, and Iyo Sky says that "Bayley is done tonight." Meanwhile, Bayley has been watching and listening from a distance.

WrestleMania 40 is 64 days away!

We see a video package of Seth "Freakin'" Rollins' plea for "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes to face him for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania.

Raw General Manager Adam Pearce and SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis are in the ring as Bayley heads to the ring to make her championship decision with Asuka, Kairi Sane and Iyo Sky. Bayley says that when she thinks of WrestleMania, she talks about how she has nearly done it all, and that this year is both different and special because she she had a lot of ups and downs and got there with the help of Damage CTRL (Bayley, Dakota Kai, Iyo Sky, Asuka, Kairi Sane). She says that Damage CTRL is family and that when she thinks of WrestleMania, she is reminded of the magic and of beating the best. She entertains wrestling Rhea Ripley, but then confronts Kairi, Asuka and Iyo for talking about her behind her back. Bayley says she just wanted Damage CTRL to be the best and take them to the top together, then confronts Iyo Sky for turning her back on her before Asuka and Kairi attack Bayley from behind. Asuka, Kairi and Iyo Sky lay Bayley out, but Bayley soon fights back with a pipe, and Iyo Sky and Bayley almost strike each other with the WWE Women's Championship and the pipe, respectively. Iyo then flees with Kairi and Asuka. Bayley then tells Iyo that she will see her at WrestleMania.



The Final Testament (Karrion Kross, Akam, Rezar) vs. Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) ends before the match can even begin with both men brawling and B-Fab showing up to take out Scarlett.



General Manager Nick Aldis is about to get Bron Breakker to sign a SmackDown contract when Raw General Manager Adam Pearce confronts him. Bron does not sign and says he will hang onto it as he sees Pearce on Monday, then Jade Cargill shows up to meet with Nick Aldis. Aldis demands Pearce leave.



Tiffany Stratton beats "Michin" Mia Yim.



The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa) heads to the ring. Roman says he does not like to recap and would like to move forward, but there are words said on Monday that he could not let slide. He mentions Seth "Freakin'" Rollins saying he has the title and calls the World title "the loser bracket title" while calling everyone he beat to become champion "number twos." He also says one cannot walk around in his wife's clothes and say he is the clothes, and that he broke his back three months into his title reign and that workhorses do not limp. Roman says that while he works ten times less than Rollins, he makes ten times more, then asks the fans if they want "Seth Rollins money" or "Tribal Chief money" before calling "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes stupid and an idiot for having values. Roman says he will not beg to Cody and says Cody can either be "the best number two in the industry" or he can take a crack at number one again. Cody Rhodes shows up. After the commercial break, Cody proposes that he and Roman have the ring to themselves, and Roman sends Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa out of the ring. Cody says he had Roman at WrestleMania 39 and that Roman knows it, and states that while Rollins made some amazing comments, he disagrees about the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship being "the Hollywood title" due to its lineage and Dusty Rhodes nearly having it. He states that he still wants Roman's title and questions Roman's supposed ownership of everything, and states that he wants the title and he wants everything, and that he is coming for Roman Reigns. He then states that it is not happening at WrestleMania, as he has taken council with someone who knows Roman well: The Rock, who shows up and heads to the ring. Cody leaves the ring, then The Rock stares down Roman Reigns from across the ring before getting up close to him to end the show. (The decision to do this is heavily slated by the fans to the point that The Rock was booed when shown on the arena's video screen at a live event in Knoxville, Tennessee and the YouTube video of this happening becomes WWE's most disliked video overnight.)



This week on The SmackDown LowDown: Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne! Bobby Lashley, B-Fab and The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford)! Tiffany Stratton!

Nikki Bella Says I Do, Part Two - Recap for February 2, 2023

Nikki does a photo shoot, then talks about her wedding and upcoming marriage with Eileen and Paul, her make-up artist and hair stylist. She then dons a wedding dress for some more photos.



Twenty-three days until the wedding, Brie and Nikki go over some details for their joint bachelor-bachelorette party. Meanwhile, Artem and Gleb talk about the bachelor party at a restaurant. The theme for the bachelorette party is "Brie Mode," and some former female Superstars have also been invited. Brie and Nikki then go shopping for a reception dress. Nikki eventually finds something that she likes, but now she is torn between the two dresses, one from a previous time that still felt right and one that feels good now that she feels like she can own the world in. She picks the new dress over the old one.



Nikki meets with Joseah, a pro dance instructor, to learn how to do a striptease for Artem. Nikki learns how to pole dance.

On the morning of the joint bachelor-bachelorette party, Brie and Nikki check out the house where the party will be taking place at. Artem eventually shows up, as does Greb and Shawna. Brie and Nikki check out a venue that Nikki likes, but Nikki finds out that the venue is not available.

Everyone makes it to then joint bachelor-bachelorette party. Fun is had by all, then Nikki leaves to take care of a few things, when in reality, she is leaving to get ready for the striptease routine for Artem. Later on, everyone takes a party bus to the club. Artem - and everyone else - soon watches as a cage descends with Nikki inside of it. Nikki then heads to the pole for a pole dance.

The morning after the joint bachelor-bachelorette party, we find out that J.J. has accepted family into the family. Brie, Artem and Nikki get some fluids back into their body via IV at the pool, and Nikki wants Brie to be with her in Paris early and help her plan so that Artem can be with Matteo longer. Brie declines.



Nattie arrives at the house, and Brie gets Nattie up to speed on what is happening. After a conversation, Brie knows that she cannot let Nikki down. Meanwhile, Artem finds out from his brother that his family will not be able to fly to Paris for the wedding as it takes 90 days to get even a slim chance at a visa, and that the closest place they can get to without a visa is Turkey. Artem plans on taking Matteo to Turkey so Artem's family can meet him.



Nikki gets a call from her biological father Jon. While he cannot make it to the wedding, he cares about Nikki's happiness. Later, Artem talks about his phone call with his brother and his plans to take Matteo to Turkey to meet his family. Nikki is anxious about Matteo being in another country without her, but she is okay with the plan.



Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for February 2, 2023



Jonathan Gresham beats Aiden Prince by submission after repeatedly ramming Prince's left knee into the mat. After the match, Gresham says that a couple of months ago, he turned his back on professional wrestling and said that he was done. He then says that he loves the business so much, and that the company that he loved so much closed its doors and he had to look for something better. Gresham says that as he looked at the industry, his eyes fell on Impact Wrestling, and says he has always wanted to come here to face the best that the business has to offer. He then says he is issuing a challenge at No Surrender before calling "Speedball" Mike Bailey out for a match.

Bullet Club ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) beat KUSHIDA and Kevin Knight after Chris Bey counters a dive from Kevin Knight with the Art of Finesse. Bey and Austin hit another Art of Finesse and The Fold for the win.



Backstage, The Design (Deaner, Kon, Angels) meets with Callihan. Deaner warns Callihan that there will be consequences for losing the Golden Six Shooter match, and says that no mercy will be given, just like when Deaner was in his position. He then tells him that tonight's match is redemption, which is step four. Deaner tells Callihan that he must win tonight.

We see a vignette for Steph de Lander, who debuts next week. (Steph de Lander is best known for her time in NXT as Persia Pirotta.)

"The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw beat Savannah Evans after Jai Vidal distracts the referee. After the match, Gisele Shaw says a lot of people refer to her as "the black widow of Impact Wrestling" because she destroys every tag team she touches, but she does not care anymore. Gisele says she does not care if Tasha Steelz, The Influence (Tenille Dashwood and Madison Rayne) or Chelsea Green are gone because of her, because she is not meant to be in a tag team; she is meant to destroy every single competitor she steps in the ring with, because the spotlight will always belong to her.



Backstage, Kenny King chastises two people backstage for not talking about him. Johnny Swinger and "Outlandish" Zicky Dice show up laughing, and when Kenny King is about to yell at them, Zicky Dice challenges King to a match with Swinger. King accepts and says he will try to get a match with Swinger from Swinger from Director of Authority Santino Marella, then leaves. When Swinger asks Zicky why he did this, Zicky says Swinger needs some wins under his belt if he wants a championship.

Backstage, Kenny King gets his match with Johnny Swinger from Director of Authority Santino Marella, then leaves. Steve Maclin then shows up wanting a shot at the Impact World Championship at No Surrender. Santino tells him that he has four singles matches with the winners in a four-way match to decide a #1 contender for the Impact World Championship, and that Maclin is in one of those matches. Dirty Dango then shows up and tells Maclin to back off, then tells Santino he will do anything for him to be in one of those matches. Santino says he is in one of them, then Dango leaves.

Crazzy Steve beats Sheldon Jean. Afer the match, Trey Miguel attacks Black Taurus from behind with a can of spray paint, then does the same to Crazzy Steve. Trey tries to tag Steve, but Steve bites his hand, takes his can of spray paint, and tags himself with Trey's logo. Trey retreats.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Jordynne Grace, who mentions her contractually obligated rematch for the Knockouts Championship before challenging the arriving Steph de Lander to a match next week.



Director of Authority Santino Marella meets with Raven backstage. Santino asks for advice, and Raven tells Santino to make his champion if he wants to make the company money. Santino says he will consider it, then leaves. All of a sudden, Reese shows up and asks him if he is getting the Flock back together. Reese says "Shut up, Yeti," then Reese says that he hates it when Raven is mean to him and that sometimes he cries at night.

Bully Ray heads to the ring after tearing a "Bully Ray Sucks!" sign and staring down a child. The crowd chants "You tapped out!" and boo Bully as he says he is starting to get the feeling that people in Impact from the management to the fans - and even the wrestling world itself - do not like him. He also has the feeling that Director of Authority Santino Marella does not like him due to Santino not putting him in the Golden Six Shooter Match, then tells Santino to remember what happened the last person who was in charge around here. He then says that Tommy Dreamer really does not like him and never has, then says that he never liked him either. Bully then says he is "the most real guy in the room" and that he tells it like it is, and says Dreamer has been lying to everyone all these years. Bully says Dreamer has everyone believing he is the good guy and that Bully is the bad guy, then says Dreamer is "the biggest phony the business has ever seen," as he wants to be loved by everybody, then says it is unrealistic. He then says Dreamer is "nothing more than a snake in this business," then Mickie James shows up. Mickie says that since Bully ruined her celebration last time, she might as well return the favor, and says that she has watched for years as Bully Ray refuses to get along with anyone and comes to Impact to bicker. She also says being a politicking snake has been Bully's M.O. his entire career, then says that she is being straight and honest with him just like how Bully is straight and honest with everyone else, and tells Bully to get out of Impact Wrestling. Bully takes the microphone from Mickie's hand and asks what is wrong with her before threating to slap the smile off of her face, then warns her that he knows she is trying to save face and that he will take that shot. Bully reminds Mickie of what happened two weeks ago and asks what would happen if he did it again or did worse, and that he has done worse to other women and that Mickie is worse than those women. He says he could have taken the high road - or he could take the high road right now - but he will give her what she deserves and take the low road before calling Mickie a tramp. Mickie takes off the Knockouts title and slaps Bully in the face. Bully responds by grabbing Mickie and scoop slamming her and calling for The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch), who immediately show up and produce a table from underneath the ring before Tommy Dreamer forces all three men to retreat with a Kendo stick. Dreamer tells Bully they are thirty years in the making and that it will be settled sooner or later, then calls out The Good Hands for attacking him at Bully's behest before challenging them to a tag match against himself and Mickie James. The Good Hands are about to back up the ramp when Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and makes the match official for next week, and bans "Bobby Ray" from ringside for the match.

We hear from Killer Kelly. She says that when she beats opponents, she is done with them, but for some reason, Taylor Wilde is obsessed with her. Suddenly, Taylor Wilde shows up and says she does not want to face her, but to join her side-by-side. When Kelly asks who she is going to play with, The Death Dollz (Rosemary, Taya Valkryie, Jessicka) teleport into the room. Rosemary says Taylor calls from the spirits of the dark realm, and says that she is spawned from those dark spirits before proposing a tag team match. Rosemary and Taylor laugh. Taya Valkyrie and Jessicka also laugh, albeit awkwardly.

Kenny King quickly beats Johnny Swinger with a capoeira kick and a Royal Flush. After the match, Kenny King says he is out here to "beat the piss out of that weird old man" and to let all the champions in Impact on notice. He says that he has exposed "Speedball" Mike Bailey as the "homicidal maniac that he is" and that anyone who is champion is a target.



Backstage, Masha Slamovich is approached by Bully Ray, who says it is good to meet her and says that Mickie James has been disrespectful to her to the point that she acts like Masha does not even exist and that Masha is not a threat to her title. He says that if he were Mickie, he would not be sleeping at night, as Masha is on her mind, and that after The Good Hands take out Mickie next week, Masha can become Knockouts Champion. He then says that if he were Mickie, he would never show these levels of disrespect or let her get away with it again. Masha replies to Bully in Russian, then leaves.

Backstage, Matt Cardona tells everyone backstage that he will beat Joe Hendry to become a two-time Digital Media Champion and give him a taste of his own medicine. Cardona then premieres his own answer song to Hendry's.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for Feburary 2, 2022

Jon Moxley beats Wheeler. (Brian Kendrick, also known as The Brian Kendrick, was originally supposed to be in the match, but was pulled less than two hours before showtime by Tony Khan due to conspiratorial comments about the Holocaust, September 11th and Sandy Hook resurfacing.) After the match, Bryan Danielson gets in the ring, and he and Moxley have a staredown. Danielson asks the fans if they want to the see them fight, then tells Moxley that for a long time, he wanted that too, because he was different and he wanted to see what he had. After the match, Bryan Danielson gets in the ring, and he and Moxley have a staredown. Danielson asks the fans if they want to the see them fight, then tells Moxley that for a long time, he wanted that too, because he was different and he wanted to see what he had. Daniel Bryan then says he realized they should not be fighting not each other, but fighting together. He then says there should be no reason why a "millennial cowboy" like "Hangman" Adam Page or a person who is dressed like a dinosaur should be tag team champion. He then says that Sammy Guevara's main contribution to wrestling is a vlog and that he should not be TNT Champion. Bryan then says that he and Moxley could run AEW and do whatever they wanted, and if they wanted to be champions, they could do it. Bryan says that Wheeler Yuta is coming out to the ring with "jokes" in Best Friends, and ponders if they could mentor Daniel Garcia instead of 2point0 (Jeff Parker and Matt Lee) or mentor Lee Moriarty instead of Matt Sydal, and train the future of professional wrestling together. Bryan then says even if the fans don't like him, they like what he is talking about right now, then says it is a lot to put on Moxley's plate and that he wants him to think about the possibilities, what they could do and the greatness and legacy they could make.





We see a video package of the events leading up to CM Punk vs. MJF.

Brandi Rhodes is in the ring. She accidentally calls Chicago, Illinois "Cleveland," then Dan Lambert and The Men of the Year (Scorpio Sky and "All Ego" Ethan Page) show up and Lambert says that Brandi believes her own bullshit and needs a reality check instead of a reality show. He says Brandi can pretend "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes earned his spot in the company and that she has a real title that isn't an excuse to stroke her own ego before stating her boobs aren't natural and that she can't pretend she isn't getting booed out of the building. Brandi says she does not understand the beef why Dan Lambert is trying to run her down when he has a great list of accomplishments in his own right, but understands things could be going better for Lambert right now. As the crowd continues to boo Brandi, Brandi says it is telling that his best fighter got knocked out by Jake Paul, then mentions Amanda Nunez before saying Lambert should spend less time in AEW and more time in America's Top Team. Lambert appreciates Brandi's wit, but asks when Brandi's family will turn heel because it is better than her old job where she was turned face down. Brandi slaps Lambert in the face, then Lambert says he knew Brandi was in a fighting mood tonight. Lambert, knowing he has things to do before going down in a blaze of cancel culture and not having knocking her out on his bucket list, brings out Paige Van Zant, who goes after Brandi. The women's locker room quickly runs into the ring with some referees to break up the brawl.



Backstage, Matt Hardy tells Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) that he is disappointed in their performance last week, then states that he wants the TNT Championship before Andrade el Idolo shows up.

When Matt Hardy asks why Darby Allin is not signed yet, Andrade says that Darby Allin may want more money.

Before the next match, PAC heads to the ring blindfolded with help from Alex Abrahantes. Shortly after the match starts, he reveals that he is able to see again.

The Kings of the House of Black (Malakai Black and Brody King) beat Death Triangle (PAC and Penta el Zero Miedo) after Malakai Black spits black mist into Penta's eyes.

We hear from Adam Cole, who says that he is still undefeated in singles competition and that Orange Cassidy did not beat him, saying his win was a fluke. He says that he is one of the best on the planet for years and that everyone will see a new side of him. He says that side takes what he wants, and when he faces and beats Evil Uno on Rampage, everyone will know what he wants.

Rancid bassist Matt Freeman is seen in the front row before the next match.

"The Native Beast" Nyla Rose beats Ruby Soho.



Backstage, The Gunn Club (Billy, Austin and Colten Gunn) annoys and aggravates Jungle Boy, which starts a very one-sided brawl on the outside of the arena. After they throw him in the snow, Christian Cage chases them off.

Tony Schiavone interviews "Hangman" Adam Page in the ring. Adam Page says he has been World Champion for 81 days and has defended it twice, then says he does not care if next week's match is a Texas Death Match and that he wants the match now. He then calls out Lance Archer, telling him to get in the ring so they can have a fight. Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Dan Lambert show up, and Lambert shows his surprise that Adam Page is here tonight. Roberts tells Adam Page to shut up, then says that Adam Page is acting different and that he is scared. Lance Archer then shows up, then both he and Adam Page brawl. Lambert hits Adam Page with a chair, but when Adam Page goes after him, Archer hits him with a chair from behind and choke slams him on the ring steps. Archer then puts Adam Page through a table with the Blackout, then says that next week, he will become the next AEW World Champion.



Backstage, Chris Jericho tells Proud 'n Powerful (Santana and Ortiz) that when they did not tag him in last week, it was disrespectful and embarrassing to him. He says he has more influence than Eddie Kingston, and that he wants them to tell him why they did what they did last week. He then calls a full Inner Circle meeting next week, and that all members will have to attend, especially Santana and Ortiz.

MJF beats CM Punk with a sleeper with a body scissors with some wrist tape hidden underneath his arm...almost. After MJF is declared the winner, he accidentally drops the wrist tape, and referee Bryce Remsburg declares that the match will continue.

MJF beats CM Punk and hands Punk his first loss in AEW after Wardlow shows up and stares down CM Punk before stepping away. Punk, distracted by and distrusting of Wardlow, is decked by MJF when he hits him with the Dynamite Diamond Ring for the win. During the replay, it is revealed that Wardlow passed the Dynamite Diamond Ring to MJF.

Brian Myers heads to the ring. Myers says he feels somewhat responsible for the shape he is in and calls Eddie Edwards "the most unprofessional wrestler," saying that Eddie used to be classy and "a worker's worker" and that Killer Kowalski is rolling in his grave over what Eddie is doing now. Myers says he would love nothing more than to get Eddie in the ring at No Surrender to show him what a real wrestler is like, but produces a doctor's note and says he cannot do that before Eddie gets in the ring and attacks him. Suddenly, Hernandez attacks Eddie from out of nowhere, then Myers says that Hernandez will gladly kick Eddie's ass at No Surrender before Matt Cardona gets in the ring and fights Hernandez, clotheslining him out of the ring.

He says Trey has what it takes to succeed, but he does not have the drive. As Callihan says that Impact needs people with passion, Trey goes off on Callihan, but Callihan tells him to look in the mirror and figure out who he is and who he wants to be.

Eva Marie, now relieved that she's no longer the newest Diva in town as that means less heat on her, take the time to chat with Mandy, and they become fast friends as Eva pitches the idea of the two of them being tag team partners in the future and it becomes revealed that the two of them have quite a bit in common.



Mark Carrano talks with Brie and Nikki about an endorsement deal involving a major food company. Nikki is up for it, but Brie isn't exactly in the mood to do it as endorsement of some of the products they produce is against her beliefs.

Nattie feats TJ is depressed due to him watching wrestling on the television all the time.

Brie and Nikki talk about the endorsement deal. Nikki brings up the idea of making it seem like a healthy product and making a sexy commercial out of it in an attempt to sell her on doing the deal. It doesn't exactly work.



It's the day of the party that Nattie is throwing for TJ. As TJ is at the gym, Nattie gets everything ready. Cesaro is the first to arrive. Not everything goes according to plan as the cats keep getting out of the bedroom and the smoke alarm goes off in the kitchen as the chicken wings are cooked.

Nikki talks to John Cena, who tells her not to tie herself in a knot over the endorsement deal, and that she can do it by herself if she wants. If the deal requires both of them, another opportunity will come.

TJ comes home earlier than expected. Big E then shows up, and Nattie has to tell her sister Jenny not to send him mixed signals. R-Truth and Kofi Kingston show up after Nattie tells everyone to make sure the cats don't come out of the bedroom. Not surprisingly, the cats get out of the bedroom, and Truth runs out of the house due to his phobia of cats. Thankfully, the cats are back in the bedroom and Nattie - and Truth - make sure they don't come out.



Paige, Alicia, Rosa, Eva Marie and Mandy are stuck sharing the same ride. Eva and Paige apologizes to each other for the animosity.

Back at Nattie's party, Truth asks TJ if he's alright, and TJ finds out that Nattie has been telling him and Cesaro - and everyone else - that TJ is depressed. TJ has to set Nattie aside and tell her he isn't. Nattie says she didn't want to upset TJ, and just wanted to do something nice.

After the party, R-Truth has a talk with Nattie. R-Truth tells Nattie that TJ has her, and even though she did a good thing, she unintentionally knocked TJ down a peg, too. Nattie understands that she put some of her fears on TJ.

During the five-Diva road trip, Alicia thinks Eva Marie is apologizing to everyone now just because it's a convenient time for her, and almost goes of Eva. Rosa and Alicia have to have a talk at a gas station. Mandy can't believe the drama that's going on.

Brie meets up with Kirsten and Jennifer for Experience Local. Nikki shows up and apologizes for giving her a hard time about the endorsement deal.

Paige, Alicia, Rosa, Eva Marie and Mandy visit Total Intensity to see how the make-up for the make-up line for the new Total Divas partnership taking place. Mandy talks with Alicia while trying to find out what's going on. Alicia tells her that the Divas locker room is a gossipy place as well as how to deal with locker room drama. Mandy wonders if it was a good idea to make friends with Eva in the first place.



Nattie apologizes to TJ for telling everyone he was depressed. TJ knows she has good intentions, and says that if something's really wrong, he'll let her know.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 2, 2015

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon show up. They talk about Super Bowl 49 and brag about how the New England Patriots won, then mention Kane and Big Show's retaliation against Roman Reigns before turning to The Rock's appearance in the Royal Rumble match, saying that The Rock interfered and affected the Royal Rumble match much like Sting affected the Survivor Series match a few months back. Triple H says that stuff like this has caused him to call out Sting so he can resolve this problem. Stephanie McMahon and Triple H then decide to nitpick Roman Reigns' Royal Rumble win when Reigns shows up and blatantly shows his opposition to this. Stephanie has to separate Triple H and Roman Reigns, and as Stephanie tries to nitpick Roman Reigns' win, Daniel Bryan shows up and demands a World Heavyweight title shot on the grounds that he was stripped of it. Triple H doesn't want to give it to him, on the grounds that he put himself in the Royal Rumble match. Seth Rollins shows up...

Seth Rollins tells Daniel Bryan that Brock Lesnar would eat him alive before nitpicking Roman Reigns' Royal Rumble win. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon decide to make a match: Daniel Bryan vs. Seth Rollins, with the winner facing Roman Reigns. Whoever wins between Reigns and the winner of that match faces Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 31. D-Bry tells Roman he wants to win that match and fight him at WrestleMania, and Rollins tells Roman he's a coward if he doesn't agree with this idea. Roman does just that, and this Road to WrestleMania is on. Triple H then tells Roman not to go anywhere, as he has to face Big Show...next.



Big Show beats Roman Reigns after Seth Rollins hits Reigns from behind with the Money In The Bank Briefcase. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon then make fun of Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan, and hope that Seth Rollins beats Daniel Bryan tonight. Triple H then says he plans to manipulate "Stone Cold" Steve Austin on his podcast - which airs on the WWE Network immediately after Raw goes off the air - with fabricated answers.





Curtis Axel shows up. He says he was never eliminated from the Royal Rumble match, and wants a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight title. Dean Ambrose shows up, tosses Curtis Axel out of the ring and tells him he's eliminated, then says he wants a shot at the Intercontinental title on the grounds that he beat Bad News Barrett last week. Curtis Axel rushes back into the ring and attacks Ambrose, but Ambrose fights back and puts Axel away with Dirty Deeds.



WWE pays tribute to Ernie "The Big Cat" Ladd as part of Black History Month.

The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) beat Gold & Stardust (Goldust and Stardust). After the match, Stardust tells Goldust to get his head on straight before walking away.



Goldust and Stardust argue backstage.

John Cena shows up, After shilling the Stone Cold Podcast that airs on the WWE Network immediately after Raw goes off the air and talks about NXT and whatnot, he says he'll never give up, even with Triple H's vision of WWE is "a WWE without John Cena." He says will never give up against Rusev either, and says that their match will be for the WWE United States Championship. He then mentions his win from two weeks ago (along with video footage of it), the re-hiring of Dolph Ziggler, Ryback and Erick Rowan that resulted from that win and the assistance from Sting, whom he thanks for making it happen. Ryback, Ziggler and Rowan show up. Stephanie McMahon appears on the TitanTron, however, and spoils the celebration by making some matches: Ziggler vs. Bray Wyatt, Rowan vs. Rusev, and Ryback vs. Luke Harper. Ryback vs. Harper is next. Before the match, Stephanie tells Ryback he'll be fed until he chokes and gags and wishes he didn't return to the WWE.

Ryback beats Luke Harper.



Cesaro beats Jimmy Uso.



Damien Mizdow is getting blueberries for The Miz at catering when somebody asks for Damien Mizdow's autograph. Mizdow signs, but Miz tears it up and tells the guy to buzz off. Miz tells him he's had it with Mizdow, and tells him he's the worst stunt double he's ever seen before firing him after telling he had it bad before he found him. Suddenly, Miz rehires him...as his personal assistant. Mizdow still mirrors him, still pretending to be his stunt double. Miz continues to push Mizdow around despite his sudden promotion.



John Cena and Erick Rowan talk in the locker room. Rowan says he was once treated like an animal, but no longer. He thanks Cena for helping him get his job back. Cena replies by saying he should have never been fired in the first place, but Rowan tells him that his unexpected time away changed him. Cena tells Rowan not to take Rusev lightly in his match tonight.

Bray Wyatt beats Dolph Ziggler.



Seth Rollins speaks with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon in their office. Randy Orton is mentioned in the conversation, where Rollins states that he plans to beat Daniel Bryan tonight.

The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella) guest on commentary for the next match.

Paige beats Alicia Fox. After the match, Alicia Fox puts Paige in a submission hold at The Bella Twins' (Brie and Nikki Bella) request, and the Bellas enter the ring to spray Paige's stomach with some sort of tanning spray.



The Miz guests stars on tomorrow night's premiere of Sirens on USA Network.

Sin Cara beats The Miz when Miz argues with Damien Mizdow for trying to get a cheap pop at the expense of The Miz.



Bray Wyatt calls himself the new face of fear in yet another cryptic warning.



Rusev beats up Erick Rowan before the match can even start. Lana directs our attention to a video package of Rusev. After the video package, she and Rusev celebrate as they usually do, but the Russian flag doesn't come down like it usually does, and Rusev and Lana are slighted by this. Rusev grabs the Russian flagpole in the corner and waves it around to make up for this.



This Thursday on SmackDown: The Miz hosts Miz TV. The special guests are Roman Reigns and his opponent at Fast Lane, which will be determined in the next match.

Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns talk in the locker room. They both agree that Seth Rollins will get what's coming to him, but Bryan says he's going to face Reigns at Fast Lane. Reigns doesn't care who he faces, because he's still going to WrestleMania 31.

Daniel Bryan beats Seth Rollins after a Superman Punch to Rollins by Roman Reigns (who shows up and hits Big Show with a Spear) and a kick to Jamie Noble's face when he tries to use the Money in the Bank briefcase on Daniel Bryan. Renee Young interviews Triple H, who saves his opinion of what just happened for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's podcast. After the match, Daniel Bryan thanks the fans and says he's going on to WrestleMania 31.
