Nia says a spot in the Elimination Chamber would be wasted on Rhea and that Lash should have won tonight. Rhea says that Nia and Lash are just making excuses, and Nia says that if they were their opponents tonight, she and Lash would be champions right now.

He admits that he was disappointed with what both CM Punk and Roman Reigns had to say, as they were big Superstars yet came across to him as very insecure and making SmackDown seem second-rate. McIntyre says he has gone through hell to become WWE Champion again and that he has earned the title, which he considers "the number one title." He says Roman picked CM Punk because he would kill Roman without his "Samoan army," then says that he has the entire roster climbing over each other to face him while Roman and Punk keep "aura farming." As McIntyre makes his way to the back, Trick Williams shows up and says that he will watch the main event from ringside, then says McIntyre is worried about all the wrong things when he should be worried about him taking his title at WrestleMania.

He says that Trick gave him everything he had, and if there is anyone who were to beat him, Trick would be a worthy champion. He then says it is his duty to call out one person: Carmelo Hayes. He says that Carmelo has been attacking him with false accusations for months and that there was no mental manipulation between himself and Trick, and that everyone can now see his true color. Dragunov says that Carmelo could not see Trick reaching new heights in NXT, and calls Carmelo Hayes "a traitorous son-of-a-bitch" as he promises to break him. When Carmelo fails to show, Dragunov tells Carmelo to show up before he fights him himself. Dijak shows up instead, and wants to know why Dragunov is obsessed with Carmelo and Trick. Dijak says the two of them are a couple of winners after Vengeance Day, but Dragunov says tonight is not the night and that he is not the man he should mess him tonight. Dijak says that Dragunov likes to call himself "unbesiegbar" but is looking "regular besiegbar" with a broken nose, and Dragunov tells Dijak to get out of his way and that Dijak will suffer like he has never suffered before when they cross paths again.

She says she refuses to settle anything for less, because she wants will be hers.

In the women's locker room, Kiana James and Izzi Dame are not impressed with Kelani and the rest of the women's division, saying everyone is happy to be here. Suddenly, Brinley Reece shows up with a drink, and Kiana and Izzi take it and dump it in the trash.

Carmelo Hayes is in the ring sitting in a metal folding chair. This time, the arena is dark and there is a spotlight on him as the crowd chants "You're not Him!" Carmelo says the villain is always the villain when the hero is telling the story. He then asks why nobody wants to hear his side before telling Trick Williams he is not jealous of his success and that he allowed him to succeed, and that he wanted him to achieve the highest of highs and make his parents proud. He then says he had to take it from him when he got close enough to remind him of his place and remind him of what happens when he bites the hand that feeds him, as Trick crossed him first. Carmelo says they had an agreement where he would get the NXT Championship while Trick will get the North American Championship, but Trick let the people get in his head and believed they were on the same level. He says that Trick went behind his back and tried to take what belonged to him, and when he did, he knew what he had to do. Carmelo then admits that he attacked Trick Williams all that time ago and that he would do it again if he crossed him. Suddenly, Trick Williams' music hits, but Trick does not show and it is revealed to be a trick orchestrated by Carmelo. Carmelo says that Trick is not coming back and that Trick is laid up in the hospital next to Booker T, then says he and Trick are not the same and that the fans are so caught up in the headlines that they pushed him to the sidelines. After stating that nothing gets by him in NXT, he says that Trick tried to be like him, but he was "still a trick."

Ridge accepts the terms.

Edge and "The Glamazon" Beth Phoenix head to the ring to start tonight's show. Edge says that he is back for The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio), which he admits is his fault. He says the idea was to elevate talent he felt truly deserved it, and it worked, and all of its members are in a better spot than they were a year ago. He then says that while Finn Balor did not have what it took to make him quit, he was forced to quit when the rest of The Judgment Day held his wife hostage and made him feel helpless. Edge mockingly golf claps for The Judgment Day, who he says made a bad problem even worse, because he is a "cruel, vindictive, sick bastard" who will sink to any level to get his pound of flesh. Beth Phoenix then tells The Judgment Day that if they have the stones, they are here to finish things. Suddenly, The Judgment Day - minus Rhea Ripley - show up. Finn Balor says they have beaten Edge down time and time again and that it is time for Edge to quit, then Dominik Mysterio says word on the street is that he has served hard time since Edge has been gone.

Dominik Mysterio then says he wishes Rhea Ripley was here so she could see what they will do to him, but Edge tells them to shut up and says that The Judgment Day do not know what they want, as they drop each other while he and Beth have each other's backs. Beth then says the only reason Rhea Ripley really is not here is because she Speared her soul out of her body, then says she is here to beat Rhea's ass. She then says that since Rhea is not here, she and Edge can fight Finn and Rhea at Elimination Chamber. Dominik accepts on Rhea's behalf, and Finn also accepts, then says that assumes Edge and Beth make it to Elimination Chamber. The Judgment Day then surround the ring, but as they go on the attack, Angelo Dawkins runs into the ring and fights Damian Priest just before their Elimination Chamber qualifier.

She says that Bayley will learn not to bring her family into things, then says Bayley can bring everything she wants, because there is one hand she has not played yet.

Brock Lesnar heads to the ring. Lesnar talks about how he was eliminated in the men's Royal Rumble by Bobby Lashley, then says he had to get his head together last week as Lashley struck a chord with him and he could not get Lashley out of his head. He talks about how he could not get Lashley out of his head as he went hunting, ice fishing, having a steak dinner and even crawling into bed with his wife, then says he has a million dollar contract for a match with Lashley at Elimination Chamber. After pulling out the contract, he says Lashley will come out here and sign the contract if he has a set of balls.

Paul Heyman then shows up and tells Cody will one day find out in his life that life at the very top requires an understanding that the only week busier than the one leading into a major event is the week coming out of that event. Heyman says he and Roman Reigns have had a lot on their plate and that things have fallen through the cracks, and that he and Roman want to congratulate Cody on winning the men's Royal Rumble match before shaking his hand. Cody says his father and his brother had a nickname for Heyman, but he goes ahead and calls him "Mr. Heyman" because he has a deep respect for him. He then pulls the curtain back to tell a story that should be told. Cody talks about how back in the year 2000, his family went broke, and his father had to do car commercials had to do car commercials to keep the car. Suddenly, his father got a phone call from Heyman to appear on ECW for good money. Cody thanks Heyman for keeping his word and giving his father his confidence back, and thanks Heyman for showing him the way. Heyman admits Cody caught him off guard, then says this is not about him, but about Cody and everything he has ever fought for just to get here, and that winning WrestleMania is a whole other story and that getting to WrestleMania is the real story to see if his dreams come true. He reminds Cody that he is facing Roman Reigns, and calls it no easy task for any mere mortal before asking if Cody will thrive or struggle under the spotlight. He then mentions Cody's father Dusty Rhodes prepping the biggest stars of this generation across the road at the WWE Performance Center. He then says that Dusty did not train nor prep Cody, and says that Dusty maybe wanted him to succeed on his own and not go through life as just his son. Heyman then mentions that in his last conversation with Dusty, Dusty told him that Cody was his favorite son, but that Roman Reigns was the son he always wanted. He then drops the microphone, then Cody walks right up to Heyman. Cody grabs Heyman's right hand, then says he is trying to win a wrestling championship and that everyone is trying to make it personal. He then says that Heyman just did that and Roman will pay for it when he takes his titles personally.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for February 6, 2021

In backstage footage from last week, Brawler Milonas and The Beer City Bruiser have a verbal confrontation. The Bruiser says there are no friends in wrestling and that he is tired of being second and tired of "being a little bitch" before walking off.

We hear from "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams, who says The Foundation (Jay Lethal, Jonathan Greasham, Williams, Rhett Titus) has given underappereciated wrestlers the opportunity to succeed in the ring and realize the potential. He says that Rhett Titus has taken the opportunity and has thrived. As for his opponent Cheeseburger, he is giving him the platform to rise after accomplishing a lot, but he is not taking him lightly due to his dedication to and knowledge of professional wrestling, and says there is a level that can only be achieved when one survives a certain kind of fight, and while he has been there, he has not seen Cheeseburger do that yet. He wants to give Cheeseburger the chance to prove he is not a novelty, but he will not make it easy for him.

We hear from Cheeseburger, who now has a new image and is now calling himself "World Famous CB" in an attempt to get past the ceiling that the nickname of "Cheeseburger" - which was given to him by Charlie Haas - has placed upon him. World Famous CB talks about how he got his start in Ring of Honor and how the nickname of "Cheeseburger" both led him to numerous tours of Japan and teaming with Jushin "Thunder" Liger and relegated him to being a novelty act despite being a ten-year veteran and a trainer in the ROH Dojo. He says that "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams is not only bare bones as a wrestler, but one of the best, but he has a rhythm and he has some moves that nobody has seen before. He says there is not a limb he cannot bend and a joint he cannot manipulate, and while he may not be the biggest guy, his size gives him an advantage when it comes to escaping holds. World Famous CB says that his weaknesses will soon become his strenghts, and while he thanks the fans for supporting him, he has evolved, and Tracy Williams is soon going to feel it.

"Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams beats World Famous CB by pinfall in 13:05 in a Pure Rules Match.

She also says that she has gotten to understand Toni Storm a little bit, and says that having the title is intoxicating, and everything that comes with it is all hers while Toni sits at home and has nothing better to do. Suddenly, Toni shows up and says that Kay Lee Ray stole the victory from her, and that the title is hers. Kay Lee Ray says being upset is not a good look for her, and says that he is obsessed with being champion. She says that she is the intervention, and that she used to be friends. She then gives her a title opportunity, and if she doesn't give up afterwards, she will make her admit that she is not good enough to beat her. She then challenges her to an "I Quit" Match, which Toni Storm is game for, and when she beats her, she cannot challenge her for the title again while she is champion.

Generation NXT - WWE NXT recap for February 6, 2019

Johnny Gargano shows up to start tonight's show. He says it feels great to stand in the ring as NXT North American Champion, as he and the fans have been on a long, winding journey for years and they have all been validated when he struck championship gold. Gargano says he is proud to say that Johnny Wrestling is back, then Tommaso Ciampa shows up. Ciampa congratulates Johnny on winning the North American title, saying she proved to the world that he followed his lead and became a champion because of it. He says that he and Gargano now both own the world and the dream they talked about up and down the road, and the two of them standing side-by-side with the gold proved that this is their moment. Gargano says there is no "our moment," and that he only stood with him was to show him that he will never need him. Suddenly, Velveteen Dream shows up. He says that tonight is not about Ciampa or Gargano; instead, it is about the man who stole NXT TakeOver: Phoenix by simply showing up: him. He says that while Ciampa and Gargano put the finishing touches on their fairy tale moments, he won the Worlds Collide tournament. Instead of choosing the NXT Championship, however, he chooses the North American title. Gargano reminds Velveteen Dream that while he was sitting in the crowd, he was in the ring putting on another match of the year before taking part in the men's Royal Rumble match. He says he is on top of the world right now and feeling a little dangerous, and if Velveteen Dream wants his title, he wins. Dream says the real question he wants an answer to is whether he faces "Johnny Champion" or "Johnny Jackass."

Drew Gulak beats Eric Bugenhagen with a Gu-Lock combined with a body scissors. After the match, Gulak says he represents wrestles around the world 205 Live and proves he is the best in the world, then shows up in NXT only to get "Ben Stiller from Dodgeball." He says he is the best submission specialist in the WWE, and issues an open challenge to anyone who wants to get stretched. That challenge is answered by Matt Riddle. Riddle says everyone in NXT sets the bar day in and day out, and tells Gulak to either leave both the ring and NXT or get tapped out of it.

Jinny tells Radzi he looks hideous, then says that while the NXT UK Women's Division is full of talented women, Toni Storm constantly gets in her way.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown Live recap for February 6, 2018

Commissioner Shane McMahon starts tonight's show. Shane says he would be ecstatic about tonight's main event, but he is not, as the match between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn will have immense ramifications as the winner will face "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles for the WWE Championship. He does not feel that Owens or Sami deserve another shot at the WWE title, but there is someone who does, and that person is General Manager Daniel Bryan, whom he introduces to the ring. Shane says SmackDown Live is the land of opportunity, and that he and Daniel both signed on for that. They also agreed that they would listen to the fans, and says that when the fans feel somebody deserves an opportunity, it is up to them to decide if they deserve it. Shane feels that Daniel Bryan is not listening. The fans chant "Rusev Day!," and Shane says "Duly noted." He then says Daniel Bryan is not listening because he keeps giving Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn opportunities. He says that the fans feel that somebody else deserves the opportunity. Daniel Bryan says the referee made a mistake in the 2-on-1 Handicap Match at Royal Rumble, and he has made it up to him by pitting Owens and Sami against each other. Daniel Bryan says he thought Shane would give him a pay raise, but Shane tells him not to get too carried away. Shane says he looks forward to the main event, but what bothers him is Daniel's decision to reward that with a WWE title shot yet again. He finds it difficult to figure out why Daniel Bryan keeps giving Owens and Sami opportunity after opportunity. He understand what Daniel Bryan has done here, and says he has changed the WWE landscape with the Yes Movement. Although Daniel Bryan has had a similar career path to Owens and Sami, he is not Owens and Sami, and that the Yep Movement is a cheap imitation of the Yes Movement, and tells Daniel Bryan not to let them manipulate him anymore. He knows that Daniel Bryan feels for them, and that Daniel Bryan would like to compete in the ring again more than anything else. Daniel Bryan stops Shane, asking him what he thinks he is doing. Shane says it is obvious that Daniel Bryan is trying to live vicariously through Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Suddenly, AJ Styles shows up. Styles says that since last month, he has traveled 10,000 miles defending the WWE Championship and competing at the highest level because that is what he does. He says he was put on the planet to be phenomenal. Styles says he can deal with the trials and tribulations that come with it, and that he was built for the grind. What he cannot deal with, however, is SmackDown Live obsessing over Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. He is not just talking about Daniel Bryan, but also Shane McMahon, as every time they make a decision involving Owens and Sami, it involves him. He does not care who wins between Owens and Sami in tonight's main event, as SmackDown Live is the house that AJ Styles built. He tells Shane and Daniel to stay out of his way, as he controls his own destiny and is heading through Fastlane and towards WrestleMania as WWE Champion.

The New Day eat pancakes and answer fan questions on Twitter in the locker room.

Backstage, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles runs into "The Artist" Shinsuke Nakamura. Nakamura tells him he will beat him at WrestleMania, then walks away. Styles shrugs it off.

Charlotte Flair beats Liv Morgan with the Figure Eight after Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan are ejected from the match for getting involved. After the match, Charlotte tells commentary "One down...two to go."

Renee Young is in front of Kevin Owens' dressing room door when Owens comes out. Owens says it is up to Sami Zayn and whether or not Sami can handle losing to him if their friendship endures.

The Bludgeon Brothers (Harper and Rowan) beat two unnamed opponents. After the match, The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) show up. The Usos give The Bludgeon Brothers almost the same treatment that The Bludgeon Brothers gave them last week, and walk past The Bludgeon Brothers as they enter the ring for the next match.

Before the next match, The Usos tell the crowd about what being locked down is all about. Instead of the traditional prison system experience, they talk about a state of mind, where the prison is mental instead of physical. They talk about the hunger of success and the thirst of being in the spotlight, as well as how nobody paid attention to them until they dropped their facepaint and bright colors for their current appearance.

The first-ever SmackDown Live Top 10 List is here.

10. "The Perfect Ten" Tye Dillinger

9. Randy Orton

8. Becky Lynch

1. "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles

The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) is not happy about placing 6th on the SmackDown Live Top 10.

We hear from Aiden English. He says the mat is covered in canvas because that is where art takes place. He may be a singer, but Rusev is a very different animal. He tells Bobby Roode to prepare to lose the United States title, for Rusev is ready for his magnum opus.

Aiden English mocks Kansas City, Missouri through song as he introduces Rusev before the next match.

obby Roode retains the WWE United States Championship against Rusev. After the match, Bobby Roode is hit with an RKO out of nowhere, then hits Aiden English and Rusev with RKOs as well.

We hear from Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable, who call Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango) "buffoons in costumes" and "clowns solving mysteries." They want to bring prestige back to the SmackDown Live tag team division, and wonder why Breezango is still part of it. If Breezango have the jokes, they have the punchlines. Last week, they targeted Breezango. This week, they target The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor). That match is next.

Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable beat The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor).

The New Day answer more fan questions on Twitter in the locker room. Xavier Woods and Big E agree that Kofi Kingston would be #1 on the SmackDown Live Top 10 if they were all ranked individually. Kofi says that he would vote for Woods and Big E in the Top 10.

Renee Young interviews Sami Zayn. Sami says it is his opportunity to step out of Owens' shadow, as Owens has won all the championships while he has never won one. He says that is fine as they are best friends. However, they have faced each other constantly, and both of them have each other well-scouted. Owens does not know if their friendship will survive, but neither does he.

Next week: Dolph Ziggler vs. Baron Corbin!

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles guests on commentary for the next match.

Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn ends when "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles attacks both Sami and Owens on commentary when Sami gets in his face while asking him if he is seeing what is going to happen to Kevin Owens.

They bring out Samoa Joe so he can sign his Raw contract, and Mick Foley isn't as thrilled as Stephanie about Joe being on the red brand. Joe says he has waited 18 years to get into a WWE ring, and puts the entire Raw locker room on notice before saying he will beat down and destroy everyone's heroes over and over again, that he is here and there is nothing anybody can do about it. Roman Reigns shows up and tells Joe that if he wants to make threats, he can make threats to him, then introduces himself before telling Joe that he is in his yard as soon as he signs the contract and that he has two choices: shutting his mouth or having Roman cave it in for him.

Jericho says he will still be United States champ after winning tonight, then says he has a bone to pick with Tom Brady of the New England Patriots for stealing his nickname of "Greatest of All Time." Jericho then says he has a big match for the United States title at Fastlane: him vs. Kevin Owens, title vs. title, then but Owens says he is not sure if he is up to it. Suddenly, Goldberg shows up and tells Jeri-KO they have two choices: step aside and live, or take him on two-on-one. Goldberg then says that last week, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman challenged him to one last match at WrestleMania, and that he's never been one to turn down a fight and that he accepts their challenge. Owens says that Goldberg vs. Lesnar will be "a perfect undercard match" for "KO-Mania 2," then asks Goldberg if he knows why he's the longest-reigning Universla title, and Goldberg says it's because he hasn't faced him, and challenges him for the title at Fastlane. Jericho says Goldberg can't just interrupt them and make matches, and threatens to put him on The List when Goldberg takes The List and Jericho's pen and puts his own name on The List to spite Jericho. Jericho then tells Goldberg he's got his Universal title match against Jericho. Owens isn't too thrilled about this.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for February 6, 2016

Chris Sabin guests on commentary for the next match.

Alex Shelley beats "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian after Chris Sabin's attempt to hand the ring bell hammer to Kazarian backfires as Shelley tosses it back to Sabin. During the match, Steve Corino announces via telephone that the time for talking is over after what recently happened to Colby Corino, and that next week, it is on between him and BJ Whitmer.

Before the next match, Truth Martini says that while "The Last Real Man" Silas Young may have tried to turn Dalton Castle's boys into men, that's not what they needs, and that instead, they need a daddy. Truth then asks "Who's your daddy?" J. Diesel - now known as Joey "Diesel" Daddiego - says "The answer is...Joey Daddiego."

Dalton Castle beats Joey Daddiego. After the match, "The Last Real Man" Silas Young shows up and addresses the boys as "Brent" and "Brandon," but it's a set-up as The Beer City Brusier holds The Boys down as Young hits Misery on Castle. Castle then gives them a choice - learn to be men, or go down like a boy like Castle just did. The Boys go to town on Castle, but they are quickly overpowered. Castle suffers the same fate when he is able to get back up and attack Castle as well.

Action Ortiz beats Leo St. Giovanni to continue to the semi-finals of the 2016 Top Prospect Tournament.

Stokely Carmichael states that 2016 will be the year of Moose. Last year's formula wasn't working, so Stokely and Moose are starting at the top by challenge Kazuchika Okada. Carmichaels calls out Okada for the 14th Anniversary Show and challenges him to a match against Moose.

The All Night Express (Kenny King and Rhett Titus) beat War Machine (Hansen and Raymond Rowe) by disqualification after Raymond Rowe counters a double-team move into a table while the ref is down, only for the ref to come to and see Rowe slam them into the table instead. After the match, both teams brawl, and officials have to break them apart.
