Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 16, 2026

Seth "Freakin'" Rollins shows up with an army of masked hooded men in black to start tonight's show. Rollins says that he created The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) and will be the one to kill The Vision, regardless of whether any member is on the shelf of hanging on, saying that anyone standing next to Paul Heyman is marked for death. Rollins says he had the satisfaction of hitting Heyman with a metal folding chair and a curb stomp. All of a sudden, Heyman - now with bruises on his face - shows up. Rollins dares Heyman to come to the ring, hoping that it was all worth it for Heyman and stating that allows him in his inner circle was the greatest mistake he ever made. He hopes to make Heyman pay for his betrayal for the rest of his days. Heyman says he did not want to come out here, then tells Rollins "FAFO" before saying "FAF5." Brock Lesnar shows up, and the masked men in hoodies surround Rollins in the ring. Lesnar removes his hat and leather vest before tearing through the masked men and scaring a few off. He soon overpowers all of them before coming face-to-face with Rollins. The lights go out, and when they come back on, Oba Femi shows up. Rollins stands in the corner as Oba Femi confronts Brock Lesnar in the middle of the ring, but when he tries to stand between them, Lesnar scares him off. Oba then hits Lesnar with the Fall from Grace and places a foot on top of Lesnar's chest before pointing at the WrestleMania sign, accepting Heyman and Lesnar's open challenge for WrestleMania in the process.



El Grande Americano II beats El Grande Americano I after Bravo Americano loads El Grande Americano II's mask as El Grande Americano I attacks Rayo Americano for getting involved in the match before going to the top rope for a headbutt only to hit his head on El Grande Americano II's loaded mask.



Roman Reigns arrives at the arena and meets up with The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso). Roman commends them for beating CM Punk up last week for running his mouth about his family before declaring that Punk belongs to him at WrestleMania.

We hear from Liv Morgan, who tells Finn Balor that getting rid of him has been part of her plan since she joined The Judgment Day and that Finn was on borrowed time. She says she knows Finn Balor and that is has been a pleasure watching him fall from grace. She says that Finn could not hang with The Judgment Day (JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez) and that they took a play from his playbook to get rid of him, then declares that JD McDonagh is free from Finn Balor's control, that Dominik Mysterio will take back the Intercontinental Championship, that Raquel will take down Stephanie Vaquer tonight and that she herself will hold the Women's World Championship.

Backstage, The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) meet with Roman Reigns. They state that CM Punk claims to have something on Roman but really has nothing, and is insulting Roman by calling him a part-timer, but Roman calls being a full-time father for his wife and child "the real flex." Jey says that Punk owes them an apology, but Roman says he does not need one even though The Usos do.

AJ Lee retains the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship against Bayley by submission with the Black Widow after rolling away from a top rope elbow drop by Bayley.



Backstage, JD McDonagh argues with General Manager Adam Pearce. As Pearce states that "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio is not medically cleared, Penta walks by on his way to the ring.

After the commercial break, Becky Lynch attacks AJ Lee on the stage and at the entrance ramp. Referees and officials have to pull Becky away from AJ Lee, but Becky grabs the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship and hits AJ Lee in the face with it.



Penta heads to the ring. He insists that he wants to be a fighting champion, then says he will defend his championship against anyone. Penta tells whoever comes to the ring to face him to be ready, and his open challenge is answered by Dragon Lee.

Penta retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Dragon Lee.



Backstage, Paul Heyman is met by Logan Paul and Austin Theory. Theory says that Seth "Freakin'" Rollins is a dead man and that they will take care of him, but Heyman warns them that they have no power and are out of position, and that they must get back into title contention. He says that if Logan and Theory can beat The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) for the World Tag Team Championships, they can get back into singles title contention. Theory and Logan are more than game and willing to face The Usos.

Nattie beats Maxxine Dupri by submission with the Sharpshooter.



We see fan reactions of Randy Orton's attack on "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes from last week's SmackDown, which is now the most viewed moment in social media for WWE in 2026 with 112 million views.

Michael Cole interviews Randy Orton. Orton is on the phone with someone at the start of the interview, which Orton changes his mind on after having a conversation with someone that made him understand who he is, which caused him to attack "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes. Orton says he is a killer, and says that wrestling has more than one royal family.



Backstage, Dragon Lee is met by Je'Von Evans, but they are soon met by Kofi Kingston. Dragon Lee leaves, and Kofi advises Je'Von that it is all about who one associates with, and mocks Dragon Lee in the process, saying that he is "dragon Je'Von down." Je'Von declines Kofi's offer to join The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Grayson Waller). Grayson Waller shows up after Je'Von leaves, then Danhausen shows up, thinking that Kofi Kingston is replacing Xavier Woods. Kofi is not in the mood for Danhausen's ideas, as is Grayson, and puts Grayson in front of him when Danhausen tries to curse Kofi. Danhausen disappears afterwards.



Stephanie Vaquer beats Raquel Rodriguez after taking out Liv Morgan on the outside following Iyo Sky confronting Liv Morgan only to be pounced into the announce table by Raquel. Afterwards, Raquel goes for a Tejana Bomb back in the ring, but Vaquer slips out and pins Raquel to win.



Backstage, Bayley is unhappy with herself for losing tonight, and Lyra says that the both of them are going to WrestleMania and that they are going to get there together. The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) confront Bayley and Lyra for costing them championship gold, and says that the two of them are not ready for her. Kairi tells Bayley and Lyra "Stay away from us" before Asuka yells at her. Lyra and Bayley soon realize they have their path to WrestleMania.

Backstage, The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) run into LA Knight. LA Knight says that The Vision have all their names in their mouths, then says that Roman Reigns is getting a little too cozy. Jimmy tells Knight it is family business and to mind his business, but Knight says that if The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso) comes back, they will not be on the same page. Knight fistbumps Jimmy, but Jey refuses to reciprocate.

Roman Reigns heads to the ring. Roman calls out CM Punk so they can handle some business, and CM Punk shows up and makes his way to the ring. Punk takes exception to being called "Phil," saying calling Roman "Joe" would be an insult to Samoa Joe, but Roman says that if Punk called Samoa Joe, he would remind him who the real tribal chief is. On the subject of Roman sending his family after him, Punk says all they will do is high five him.On the subject of Roman sending his family after him, Punk says all they will do is high five him. Punk then admits that while The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) took care of family business and had the right message, and that he deserved what he got last week, they had the wrong messenger. Roman is "trite and redundant" and repeats the same thing over and over. He tells Punk not to waste his time until he can come up with a promo that can surprise him, but Punk stops Roman from leaving, saying that this is his show. He says that he is in Roman's head and under Roman's skin, and that he will never point at the WrestleMania sign again. Punk tells Roman that he will hit him with the GTS and split his ego in two at WrestleMania. Roman tells Punk is delusional, saying he cannot faze him even though he is good with the mental game, and that Punk "can't do the walkin'." He says that Punk is nothing to him and is not faster or stronger than him, and says that Punk is not only a tryhard who embarrasses everyone else, he is old. Punk sucker punches Roman, and officials have to get between Punk and Roman. Roman is smiling and laughing as the show fades to black.



In loving memory of Davey Coates, 1962 - 2026. (Davey Coates was a former long-time veteran member of WWE's production team and was instrumental in keeping NXT UK running during the COVID-19 pandemic in more recent years.)

Let's Go! - LFG recap for March 16, 2025

The four teams train at the start of the episode. It is revealed that Tatyanna has been going through a rough time in the last two days, especially as she is seen crying and Bubba Ray is telling her to stop.

Shawn Michaels meets with the Legends and Future Greats. This week's guest is CM Punk, who says that without the Future Greats, there is no business, and he wants to know if they know who they are. He dares some of the Future Greats to take a shot at cutting a promo, and while Zena goes for it at Bubba Ray's behest, Jasper takes the microphone and talks about how he wanted to see CM Punk main event WrestleMania so he could tell his friends he did only to find out he was not there, and how he wants to face Punk in the ring one day and make him bend the knee for what he did to him. Bubaba Ray says the best promos do not feel or sound like promos, but feel and sound like people speaking from the heart. Booker T praises Jasper for stepping up and producing something organic. Jasper says he did not expect the acknowledgement, as he just wanted Punk to know that he will be ready if it is the two of them in the ring. Tatyanna cuts a promo on how his grandfather taught her how to fight and that it does not matter what people thought, and used some of the negative energy around here as fuel. Punk says Leigh has something in her, but it needs to be brought out. Cutler James' promo falls flat on CM Punk. As the challenge goes on, BJ shows up, much to Bully's chagrin. BJ cuts a promo where he says that ever since he broke the news about his shoulder, not a single person in the room reached out to him, especially Bubba Ray. He calls Zena "the epitome of sutpidity," makes fun of Tatyanna's crying, says Drake Morreaux will always be "Roxanne's boyfriend" and will bring nothing to the table, and says Cutler James would not even be here if he did not get injured, and that he will make Cutler "[his] little bitch" when he comes. He says Bubba Ray may be a douchebag at times, but he learned some things from him, saying Bubba Ray's refusal to shake his hand is just business, and he is not shaking any of the Future Greats' or the Legends' hands, as he is done and he is in it for himself. He then leaves the room. A surprised Bubba says "wrong place, wrong time...but he cut one hell of a promo, didn't he?" He also mentions BJ admitting that he learned something from him and why he would not shake his hand. Drake admits he should have backhanded BJ, and Zena doesn't know if she like BJ anymore. Punk says BJ is hurt and that he does not know if he can back it up in the ring, but says a good rule of thumb is not to throw people under the bus. Tyra Mae takes the microphone and talks about how people discredited her for being happy-go-lucky, then says she is happy-go-lucky and can kick butt doing it. She talks about how her anger problems got her to being an Olympic Gold Medalist in the biggest arenas in the world, and says that as long as she hears the noise, whether she is cheered or booed, that is all she wants. The Undertaker is blown away by Tyra Mae, especially by her confidence, and says she can be vulnerable as well as "a legitimate killer." After this, Jasper eggs on Chris Island into cutting a promo, and Booker T says Island is scared. Jasper says that if Island is going to carry an aura, then he just left money on the table for not even attempting. Bully Ray says it is not just the people who are taking the opportunity, but it is the people not taking the opportunity. Shiloh is disappointed about not taking the opportunity, and The Undertaker is disappointed with Shiloh for not taking the opportunity, as he feels Shiloh is c. CM Punk tells everyone that failure will be their biggest teacher, and it is on anyone who did not get up. He tells everyone to take opportunity to the threat. Dani says she and the rest of the team needs to step up, and that Mickie James is disappointed in the team. Troy Yearwood says that he does not know who he is, and Island says that while he has a lot to talk about, he was not feeling it as everyone was going into a deep place, but Mickie tells Island that he just had to be himself. Mickie says she will fight for her team, but her team did not do any favors.



The matches are made. The Legends take into consideration who did and did not take the opportunity. Jasper Troy is praised for his promo. The Legends consider Chris Island having Sirena as his manager, and The Undertaker considers having Tyra Mae going from face to heel. Bubba Ray mentions Tatyanna did well on the microphone. The Undertaker wants to know if Shiloh is either a face or a heel. Cutler James is given props for taking the opportunity. Afterwards, the Legends talk with the Future Greats regarding their matches. Tyra Mae mentions that she loves being a heel, while Chris Island mentions that he has never practiced being a heel before. Chris Island faces Jasper Troy in the first match.

Jasper Troy beats Chris Island despite interference from Sirena Linton when she grabs at Jasper Troy's leg so that Chris Island can go for a chop block. Sirena Linton is Chris Island's manager for the match. Afterwards, Booker T says this is the best that Booker T has seen from him in the ring, and that he cannot say enough about Jasper Troy. The Undertaker says Jasper can grab attention, and that Chris Island could make a good heel. Bubba Ray says standing up to Jasper as a manager before the match may not be the best mindset for Sirena. Chris Island is beaming following the acknowledgment from Booker T and The Undertaker.



Tyra Mae Steele beats Dani Sekelsky with a schoolkid pin after grabbing the tights. Mickie James mentions that Tyra Mae Steele is not comfortable being heel (despite Tyra Mae saying she likes to work heel) and that she spent too much time showboating while Dani was down. CM Punk says that Dani showed who she was, and that Tyra Mae needs to do the same while she is in the ring. The Undertaker says both Tyra Mae and Dani told a story, and while there is still room for improvement, Tyra Mae and Dani did well. Tyra Mae says that she has climbed a mountain to get here, and that she must climb another mountain to remember who she is and where she came from. Dani says they are both hard on themselves, and that will never change.

Tatyanna Dumas beats Leigh Laurel despite Leigh targeting Tatyanna's hurt arm. CM Punk says Leigh is a bit reserved and is a bit shy, and that there is work to do. Mickie says she saw more out of Leigh, and while the match was rushed, the match was still good. Bubba Ray says that both women came in the wrong frame of mind, and says Tatyanna has been crying since she walked into the Performance Center for the day while Leigh's mind has been elsewhere, and that it looked like she did not want to listen to Booker T when he went over their match. He tells them to leave their personal business behind before going in the ring. Leigh says she will get where she needs to be, and if she needs to bring herself up and break herself down over and over, she will do it. Tatyanna says that she tried the best she could, but she cannot make everyone happy.

Cutler James beats Shiloh Hill. During the match, Shiloh Hill goes down mid-match again, but after Shiloh is helped up, Shiloh hits a cheap shot on Cutler, turning heel during the match as planned. The Undertaker congratulates them on the heel turn, saying it was well-executed. The rest of the legends are also impressed, although Mickie James and CM Punk would have preferred that Shiloh hit Cutler with the cheap shot from behind.

The points are given out. CM Punk says nothing grows in the comfort zone, and that those who were outside of their comfort zone passed the test. For the women, Tyra Mae Steel gets the point. Ty For the men, the point goes to Jasper Troy. Jasper Troy says that Punk has given him the nod and that he sees the vision, and hopes to be in the ring with him. Team Booker T has four points, Team Mickie James and Team Undertaker are tied at two points apieces, and Bubba still has yet to get on the board. Island gives Jasper Troy credit where credit is due, and Tatyanna says she would have scored if she had more experience. Bubba says his team has all the potential in the world, but potential does not put asses in seats. The Undertaker says Shiloh did not get the point because Shiloh did not take the opportunity to cut a promo when Punk provided the opportunity. When the producer asks Shiloh why he didn't cut a promo when Punk gave him the opportunity, Shiloh says he does not care about taking part in "a pissing contest" and that he is here for violence, and as he does, the explanation becomes a full blown promo. He then says he was not ready, and he continues to be pissed off with himself for not taking the opportunity. The Undertaker says that Shiloh Hill is "money," and that he needs to bring what Shiloh just did out of him, stating that they are going to have a long talk tomorrow.

Danielson says Ospreay has been emulating him, but he will never be able to walk in his shoes as he has not been on death's door.

He says that they crushed their dreams and thought that they would be friends after their careers, and that he came to AEW to retire with Christian, not to take his shine and shadow his accomplishments.

As Rich Swann speaks, Steve Maclin shows up and insults everyone by questioning their chemistry as he reminds Alexander he is number one contender to the World title.

Gisele says she was close to becoming Knockouts Champion until "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo got involved.

As Gisele says Purrazzo has a receipt coming, Johnny Swinger and "Outlandish" Zicky Dice show up, and both of them agree that Jai Vidal will make an easy win for Swinger, as Jai Vidal is "not even on the roster." As Swinger and Zicky leave, Gisele asks Jai Vidal if Swinger even knows that he is a wrestler.

Steve Maclin beats Heath.



Backstage, The Death Dollz (Rosemary, Taya Valkyrie, Jessicka) brag about ensnaring The Coven (Taylor Wilde and KiLynn King) into their web so they can take care of Killer Kelly all by themselves. Taya says the thing about magic is that it is dangerous, and asks Jessicka to let her and Rosemary handle The Coven while she practices wrestling and making mimosas.

We hear from The Design (Deaner, Angels, Kon). Deaner says Callihan came to them because he wanted to join something bigger than them, and for five deadly steps, Callihan tried to gain their trust. He says that since day one, everyone has said that this is all a ploy, and while it might be, that question may not even be answered, as last week, as part of step six, Callihan faced Rhino and lost. All of a sudden, Callihan confronts Deaner over costing him his match last week, but Deaner says step six is about taking punishment like a man, and that they remind him that he cost Kon his match at No Surrender. Deaner asks Callihan if he is willing to take his punishment like a man, and Callihan says that if this is what it takes, then so be it. Deaner tells him he made the right choice.

PCO is seen near the arena as he calls out for Eddie Edwards.

Backstage, Tommy Dreamer is met by Mickie James, who says that they have a match against Bully Ray and Masha Slamovich. After finding out Dreamer wanted this match, she asks if this is a good idea. Jordynne Grace shows up and also asks if the match is a good idea, as Mickie barely squeaked by Masha a day before their championship match. She says that Mickie will not have that luxury with her, and that if she is not careful, she will make her tap out again.

Eddie Edwards heads to the ring. Eddie says that ever since Honor No More has been disassembled, he has had to re-assess things. He has decided to let the past stay in the past, as it no longer matters. He says it is time to focus on himself and his future in Impact Wrestling, and while he has been trying to do that, the past continues to show up again and again as PCO continues to stalk him again and again. Eddie states that it is time for this come to an end and that after last week, it is over between himself and PCO. We then see the footage of PCO being hit by the vehicle in the desert again, and Eddie says this symbolizes a death of PCO and a rebirth for himself. Suddenly, the lights go out, thunder and lightning can both be seen and heard, and PCO appears in the arena. All of a sudden, PCO is attacked from behind with a shovel by Kenny King, and Kenny and Eddie mock PCO and gang up on him. PCO soon gets up and fights back, and a chair to the back from Eddie has no effect. A busted-open PCO punches the chair into Eddie's face, but Eddie and Kenny are able to take PCO down again and throw him into the ring steps. Eddie and Kenny then trap PCO between the post and the steps as they continue to beat on him, but PCO shoves the steps off of himself. He fends off Kenny King only for Eddie to hit him with a shovel. Eddie then kicks the chair into PCO's head with a Boston Knee Party, then smacks the chair into PCO's head again with a Kendo stick before Kenny makes fun of PCO again.



Backstage, Director of Authority Santino Marella is met by Vladimir Kozlov, then Dirty Dango asks about Koslov. Santino asks Dango not to say Koslov's name, as his name is still trademarked.

Santino makes the match official, then Dirty Dango tells Joe Hendry that he has his back if he needs some back-up. Santino then makes a tag team match for next week where Dango and Hendry face Moose and Myers. Santino leaves, then Dango awkwardly asks Hendry about his plans for tonight before leaving.

Sterling says Metalik and Blake Christian cheated to win and made some tags that were less than legal, then says he has filed an injuction in the state of Florida to get the match thrown out and declares that Ari Daivari and Slim J are still undefeated as a tag team. He also says Jeeves Kay took Eddie Kingston to his limit and gave him his best ROH match to date. Ari Daivari says this is not the time for thinking, but for action, and demands a rematch against Metalik and Blake Christian in a six-man tag match.

"The Last Real Man" Silas Young beats Marcus Kross. After the match, Silas Young says it has been over a year since he stepped foot in a Ring of Honor ring, and when one thinks of Ring of Honor, one thinks of him. He also says that there is not a single man who measures up to him who has won the ROH World Television Championship, then Shane Taylor shows up. Shane Taylor says Silas Young may have bumped his head if he is something like that, as there has not been a more dominant Television Champion than himself, and if Silas needs correction to that fact, they can have a match next week and he will prove why he is the baddest champion anyone has ever seen.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Athena, who takes the microphone and says Yuka Sakazaki is looking for medical attention in Japan and still seeking matches there because she is afraid of her after she shoved her legs into the ring steps and hurt her more than anyone ever could, and yet Yuka is still wrestling in Japan and is not facing her. Athena says she is ready to whup her ass all over Los Angeles, California, and if Sakazaki "has the lady balls" to show up at Supercard of Honor, she is challenging her for the ROH Women's World Championship and planning on making her disappear.

The Embassy ("The Machine" Brian Cage, Joseph Kaun, Toa Liona) retain the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships against Dalton Castle and The Boys (Brandon and Brent Tate), then continue to attack them after the match until AR Fox, Metalik and "All Heart" Blake Christian chase them out of the ring.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin). Dante says he has toget his neck stretched and popped thanks to a tag team that they thought they were done with, and next week, Darius Martin will go one-on-one with Matt Taven, and they challenge The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Michael Bennett) to "step up or take flight." Darius says they have proved what The Kingdom are going to do, and Dante says they are the coldest tag team in the game and have been on fire lately, and proclaims that he will light The Kingdom up while Darius proclaims that this kingdom is their for the taking.

Matt Sydal and "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels beat The Outrunners (Turbo Floyd and Truth Magnum), then Aussie Open (Mark Davis and Kyle Fletcher) show up. Fletcher say it is a pleasure to see Daniels and Sydal back in Ring of Honor and calls them integral to the company's beginnings and history, but there is now no better tag team in the world than Aussie Open, and they want the ROH World Tag Team Championships. He then state there is no better way to throw their hats in the ring by beating former champions, and that they will see them and beat them in a Ring of Honor ring like they have beaten other team, then Davis counters the "Now!" chants by saying they will give Daniels and Sydal a rest so they can face them at their best. Fletcher then says at their best, nobody can beat Aussie Open, because they run the world. After Aussie Open leaves, Daniels says surprises happen everyday even in the new era of Ring of Honor, and while he and Sydal were tag team champions years ago, the difference between then and now and is that they have a lot of experience and they are still good looking. Daniels tells Aussie Open that if they are looking for a team who will kick their asses, they are willing to get that job done.

The Jericho Appreciation Society (Chris Jericho, Jake Hager, Jeff Parker, Matt Lee, Daniel Garcia) head to the ring. Matt Lee says that the fans should thank Jericho for having an entrance theme to sing along to, and says if it were up to him, there would be no "Judas," and that Jericho is a better man than him. Jeff Parker says Jericho deserves to be praised and appreciated for his contributions to wrestling and beyond, then Jericho says that the earth has been around for four and a half billion years and everyone is lucky to be alive in "The Chris Jericho Era." He says that for thirty years, the fans have lived vicariously through him and that without him, there would be no AEW. He then says that instead of being praised, he is undermined and ridiculed. Jericho says that the fans have the total package in him, yet nobody appreciates him and some have even disrespected and embarrassed him, and says that the rest of the Jericho Appreciation Society are the only ones who still appreciate him. He says that none of them relate to the rest of the locker room, as they are all pro wrestlers and pro wrestlers are never famous or millionaires several times over, and says that he is "a sports entertainer," which causes the fans to boo him. Daniel Garcia says that if Jericho will call himself a sports entertainer, then he is one, too. Jericho calls Garcia "the epitome of a sports entertainer," and says he appreciates him because Jericho donated thousands of dollars to his recovery from an injury. He then brings up 2point0 (Jeff Parker and Matt Lee), and announces that Jeff Parker and Matt Lee will be known by their real names Angelo Parker and Matt Menard respectively and that the word "2point0" is "a bad name by bad creative." Jericho mentions that Menard and Parker appreciate him because he helped them get work when they were fired from WWE with an appearance on Talk Is Jericho, then calls Jake Hager "the hand of the king."

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for March 16, 2021



In backstage footage from Sacrifice, The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) are not in the mood for an interview.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Gia Miller interviews Matt Cardona. Cardona says it was not his intention to cost Brian Myers the match, but Myers paid Hernandez off and Eddie Edwards deserved a fair fight, so he had to neutralize the situation. He says that he is still friends with Myers, but Myers is being a jerk here in Impact, and if he has to put him in his place, he will.

We hear from Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe and Luster the Legend). Thornstowe says that Sacrifice did not go over as planned and admits that Decay (Rosemary, Decay, Black Taurus) got one over on them, but tonight, it is all about Luster the Legend. Luster tells Black Taurus that if he thinks he will walk out the winner this time, he is mistaken, and says that they would have won at Sacrifice if Rosemary did not spit green mist into his face. He says that he will rip Taurus' head off and mount his horns over either his bed or his fireplace.

We hear from Decay (Rosemary, Decay, Black Taurus), who laugh about Luster the Legend swallowing the poison mist.

Black Taurus beats Luster The Legend.



Juice Robinson and David Finlay beat XXXL (Larry D and Acey Romero). After the match, The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) show up. Anderson says The Good Brothers have been so busy with both family and being on the road that they were exhausted, and Gallows blames their tag team title loss on jet lag. Gallows demands a tag team title rematch, and Juice Robinson tells them they've got it. Finlay says that they will have to wait until they come back in April from a tour of Japan, however, and this leads to a brawl where Juice and Finlay quickly escape.



We hear from Sami Callihan, who says that while Trey Miguel has all the talent in the world, he fakes having passion and confuses anger with passion. He says it is passion that drives a man to do anything, such as Sam Beale taking on Trey Miguel in the ring, and admits that while Trey has won matches here and there, he says that Trey does not have the passion to take it to the next level. Sami then proclaims that he will make an example out of Trey tonight.

Backstage, The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) meet with Scott D'Amore regarding the Impact World Tag Team Championships going to Japan with Juice Robinson and David Finlay.

D'Amore reminds him that running a company is not easy, and lets him know that Hardcore Justice is coming up and that he will set up the match card. Dreamer hands him a piece of paper, telling him he already has the card set up. D'Amore tells Dreamer that Hardcore Justice will be his night.

Rohit Raju beats Shera after putting his feet on the ropes for leverage.



Backstage, Willie Mack congratulates Rich Swann on becoming the unified Impact World Champion. As Mack gets ready to party, Swann says that he has business to attend to in the ring.

Rich Swann heads to the ring. He says that Sacrifice was one of the hardest things he has been through in his entire life, and says he and Moose proved why Impact is one of the best companies with the best talent. Swann admits that while he may not like Moose, he respects him, but at Sacrifice, he was on his high horse and riding that stallion, and he became double champion. He says one world championship is hard to come by, but two is unthinkable, yet he did it. He then addresses his recent past with Kenny Omega and says it has come full circle, and at Rebellion, he will right a wrong when he faces Omega. He says that Rebellion will be an important night in wrestling, and that at Rebellion, they will see who the real world champion is. Suddenly, Don Callis shows up. Callis whispers something into Swann's ear and talks to him, then takes the microphone and says he is proud to be in the ring with him on his very special night. Callis says he is "a huge Rich Swann guy" and that he wanted him in Impact in the first place, and that he also made sure that Swann's family got paid while Swann has injured. He also says he fought for him to be in the main event. He then calls Swann his shiny toy that he was proud of, then says that he felt an emptiness in his life when he met Kenny Omega and that he lost interest in him after that. He also hints that Rich Swann may have had Omega in the back of his mind, and says that as much as he loves Swann as a performer, Swann is just a superstar while Omega is a god. He tells Swann that he made history at Sacrifice, and that he will become part of history at Rebellion while implying that Omega already has their match won. He then says to Swann "Sleep well, brother."



We see another paid advertisement from Tony Schiavone and Tony Khan. Khan says he is all business tonight despite it being St. Patrick's Day week, then he and Schiavone run down the card for tomorrow night's Dynamite.



Backstage, Brian Myers runs into Matt Cardona and Eddie Edwards. Eddie leaves, and Myers and Cardona have a conversation. Myers says he does not want Cardona around, as Impact is his one moment to make it on his own.

Jordynne Grace, Jazz, Havok, Nevaeh, Alisha and ODB beat Tenille Dashwood, Fire 'n Flava (Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz), Deonna Purrazzo, Kimber Lee and Susan in a 12-Knockout tag team match with an STF from Jazz to Kimber Lee.

Chris Bey states that Austin lost to him last week and that he deserves a title shot, then Josh Alexander shows up and reminds Bey that he beat him at No Surrender.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 16, 2020

Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton and Jerry "The King" Lawler introduces the viewers to the show, which will take place in the WWE Performance Center. As the viewers are introduced to what will happen tonight, Edge suddenly appears. Edge says that it has been a strange few months for him and his wife Beth Phoenix, and we see a video package of what has transpired between Edge and Randy Orton. Edge states that when "Cowboy" Bob Orton introduced him to Randy, he knew that their paths would intertwine, and he was right. He knew that Mick Foley wanted to pass the torch to them, and while they did, Edge learned grit while Orton did not. Edge says that this grit was what caused him to come back after nine years out of action at the men's Royal Rumble, and while Orton may be one of the best, he had everything handed to him while he worked for everything and got it. He says that he was raised by a single mother who broke her back to make sure his dreams came back, and they did, and at Royal Rumble, he threw Orton out of the ring. He says that this is all about jealously, not love, and it tears Orton apart. Edge then reveals that two weeks ago, Beth Phoenix showed up to make a medical update to retire on his behalf, but Orton refused to let her finish and pulled him out of a hole he dug for him. He then tells Orton that it will be the two of them in a Last Man Standing Match at WrestleMania if Orton has the guts, and that this is a redemption story that he will write in which Orton won't stand back up.



In footage from earlier today, Becky Lynch makes her way to the Performance Center in a semi-truck full of customm Becky Lynch decals and honks the horn before making her way to the building.

The 2020 men's Royal Rumble match is replayed.

It is announced that WrestleMania 36 will not take place in Tampa Bay, Florida as originally scheduled and will instead take place in the WWE Performance Center on April 5th on pay-per-view and WWE Network.

Jerry "The King" Lawler moderates the contract signing for "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles vs. The Undertaker at WrestleMania. The Undertaker immediately gets in the ring shirtless and ready to fight, and flips the table that is in the ring. The show then cuts to a commercial break.

After the commercial break, it is mentioned that there was no contracts present on the table as The Undertaker cleared the ring. The Undertaker then waits in the ring, and "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles' music hits, but Styles does not show up. Styles' music plays again briefly, but once again, he does not show up. Styles then shows up on the video screen with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson backstage, carrying a contract in his hands. Styles commends The Undertaker for carrying WWE on his back for so long, but says that The Undertaker interjects himself into a WWE whose fans want him removed from it. He once again says that this is Michelle McCool's fault, and calls The Undertaker a shell of his former self as he says he has no sympathy for him after getting in The O.C.'s (Styles, Gallows, Anderson) business time and time again. Styles says The Undertaker cannot run or hide, and says that he will gladly pay for The Undertaker's assisted living costs after WrestleMania, as he will do everyone a favor when he makes him rest in peace. After some arguing back and forth, Styles has Gallows and Anderson take the contract to The Undertaker, who is still waiting in the ring. Gallows and Anderson then head to the ring and place the contract at the edge of the ring. The lights then go out, and when they come back on, The Undertaker is behind Gallows and Anderson. When they turn around, The Undertaker beats them up. Styles is livid as he watches from backstage, and The Undertaker soon signs the contract before placing it in Anderson's mouth.



We look back on the September 28, 1998 episode of Raw, when "Stone Cold" Steve Austin lept off a Zamboni and attacked Vince McMahon.

Asuka guests on commentary for the next match.

Rey Mysterio beats Andrade.



Becky Lynch shows up. She says she knows that "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler is watching and that her existence drives her crazy, and says that as long as she is champion, Baszler's world of bullying everyone and running things is a lie. Becky says she is the prey who killed its predator, and tells Baszler to think about what will happen after she beats her, for she will prove that Baszler's life is a lie and it will hit Baszler like a truck.





We look back on the October 5, 1998 episode of Raw, when "Stone Cold" Steve Austin dressed up as a doctor and attacked Vince McMahon in a hospital room.

Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Kevin Owens, who tells Seth Rollins that he accepts his challenge, and that he has given thought as to where and when to do it. He states that their match will happen at the Performance Center, and says that Rollins has always had the advantage. Owens then says that that he has home field advantage in the Performance Center, stating that Rollins has always said he would never make it in WWE. Owens says that he has a lot of friends and memories in the walls of the Performance Center, and he will add one more memory when he beats him in the building where he had to prove he was WWE-ready at WrestleMania.



We look back at "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's first WWE Championship win at WrestleMania 14, courtesy of Snickers.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin shows up. Austin declares that from here on out, the 16th day of March is a national holiday, then asks the empty arena to give him a "hell yeah" if they want to know what 3:16 Day is all about. He gets two "hell yeah's" from Byron Saxton. As Austin delcares that 3:16 Day is "a day where you boss works for you" and "a day where you can have beer instead of your morning coffee" among other things, Saxton rates each explanation with scorecards. Afterwards, Austin asks Saxton to get in the ring and celebrate with him. Both men toast with a Austin's own Broken Skull Ranch IPA, then Saxton gets a Stunner. Becky Lynch then shows up with a cooler and steps on Saxton on the way into the ring, then both of them drink a few Broken Skull Ranch IPAs and Austin gives Saxton another Stunner to end the show.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for March 16, 2017



After the events of last week's Impact Wrestling, it is announced that Alberto El Patron has reluctantly and begrudingly vacated the Impact Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship due to the circumstances in which he won it in last week's main event match against Lashley.



Alberto El Patron shows up...without the Impact Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship. After saying that he loves Impact because they do not make him pretend to be someone he's not, he says that Impact is his house. Last week, he proved to everyone - including himself and the fans - that Lashley was beatable. He then says that if it were not for inside politics, he would still be World Heavyweight champ, and then calls out Lashley, wanting a fight. Instead of Lashley, however, El Patron gets Ethan Carter III, who commends him for relinquishing the World title after what happened last week, but tells him he can't just demand title shot and that he has to earn them. If he wants to earn one, he has to go through him, saying it's "Si vs. Three." El Patron says he has nothing against him, as he wants to fight Lashley and says the fans make the rules, not EC3. As he leaves, EC3 immediately questions the testicualr fortitude of Alberto El Patron, but El Patron gets back in the ring and tells him "I'm here to fight the big dog...not the bitch." After EC3 asks if there's nothing else he can do or say to get a match with him, El Patron repeats the "bitch" comment again. This immediately starts a brawl between the two men, and ever after officials and referees quickly rush into the ring to restore order, the brawl goes to the entrance ramp. Alberto El Patron gets in the ring and tells EC3 that if he wants a fight, he's got one.



One Night Only: March 2017 premieres on pay-per-view tomorrow night!

Eddie Edwards says Impact Wrestling is his dream: to be the best of the best. He says it's time to look to the future and that everyone in the company has the same goal. He wants to make Impact Wrestling great as this is his passion and what he was born to do, and he won't stop until it is great.

"Dirty" Dutch Mantel tells the new team that the tag team title situation needs to be investigated. Bruce Prichard says he has an idea...



Jeremy Borash announces that Ethan Carter III vs. Alberto El Patron is official for tonight.

We see a video package documenting the recent events between Tyrus and Eli Drake.

Laredo Kid and Garza Jr. - the latter the nephew of the late Hector Garza - get an upset win against Eli Drake and Tyrus in their Impact Wrestling debut after Garza Jr. gets a schoolboy pin on Eli Drake.



We see footage of Eddie Edwards, Moose and "The Cowboy" James Storm in Japan, who were in the country for some matches in Pro Wrestling Noah as part of Impact's partnership with them. The three of them say that the partnership will bring great things for Impact.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes shows up before the next match, saying that Impact will not "pimp out" the Rhodes name on their terms as he stops Brandi Rhodes from wrestling tonight. Cody hands her $45, which he says "was $20 than [Impact] were going to pay her," and tells her to stand in the corner. He then talks about Moose, saying he is in Japan before saying he himself is Japan. He then calls out Moose, wanting a match for the Impact Grand Championship, and forces Brandi to follow him to the back. The match between Brandi Rhodes and Kayci Quinn ends up never happening.



After the commercial break, Kayci Quinn is being attacked by Rosemary, who hits her with Red Wedding.



Ethan Carter III says everything has happened for a reason, including him come to Impact. He says he is the reason to watch Impact.



Alberto El Patron beats Ethan Carter III with the Cross Arm Breaker. After the match, Alberto El Patron tells EC3 not to leave until he gives him the respect he deserves, and tells him he gave one of the best matches of his career. The two of them then shake hands, and El Patron raises EC3's hand.



McKenzie Mitchell interviews Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe and Lester the Legend), who say that they are the perfect combination of athleticism and violence. Their motto is "United we survive, divided we die," and that they plan to be Impact Wrestling World Tag Team Champions.

Ethan Carter III doesn't seem to be a good sport backstage, as he kicks a trash can. Bruce Prichard has to calm him down.

Madison Rayne says Impact Wrestling is her entire adult life for the last decade. With any company, there are ups and downs, and she's been through them all. She says this is an exciting time with fresh, new faces, and that it is time to bring a brand new vision of professional wrestling.



Jeremy Borash announces that "she" will debut next week.

Suicide is coming back...



Trevor Lee retains the Impact Wrestling X Division Championship against Braxton Sutter, Suicide and Andre Everett. Trevor Lee wins the match after Braxton Sutter is distracted by Laurel Van Ness, who is still in her wedding dress and grabbing at Allie from the stands, by hitting Sutter with a high knee as soon as he gets back in the ring. After the match, Sienna shows up, saying that if Allie though Maria Kanellis-Bennett was bad, she's "the one with the AK-47." Sienna tells Allie and Braxton Sutter that they'll soon be sleeping together in a hospital and that "Romeo and Juliet always meet their tragic demise."



Moose says Impact is one of the greatest wrestling companies out there, if not the best, and he plans to bust his ass and connect with the fans in the ring to make Impact the best wrestling company in the world.


Bruce Prichard shows up. He says that championship are won and lost inside of the ring, and that they don't change hands in outer space or on the Internet.
