All of a sudden, it is revealed that somebody has been attacked in the parking lot.

Wren Sinclair and Kendal Grey beat Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid) by submission with the cross arm breaker on Lainey Reid as Wren Sinclair puts the Final Wrench on Fallon Henley. During the match, it is revealed that Elio LeFleur and Eli Knight have been attacked in the parking lot. After the match, Kendal Grey brags about tapping Lainey Reid out after Wren Sinclair took the Women's Speed title from Fallon, then states that she will take the NXT Women's Championship from Jacy Jayne. Lola Vice shows up and agrees that a new woman needs to run the women's division, and while Kendal will hold a title one day, it will not be that day when she breaks Jacy's jaw and becomes champion herself. Interim General Manager Robert Stone shows up and makes Lola vs. Kendal in a #1 contender's match for the NXT Women's Championship next week.



Sol Ruca is in the ring. She says she has been going back and forth about what she wanted to talk about, and part of her did not want to say anything at all. She says she has seen what Zaria has said on social media, and thought that they were stronger than this. Sol Ruca states that Zaria states that decided that she was not worth standing next to anymore, even after she fought for her when no one else would and always gave her the benefit of the doubt so she could make her name mean something. She then says that Zaria never wanted to be part of a team and just wanted her moment, and when she could not get her own moment, Zaria took her out. Sol Ruca says she wanted to pull Zaria forward and did what she did because she thought they were better together, and that she wanted Zaria to shine as much as she did. She says that while she was fighting for the both of them, Zaria just wanted to make everything about her. Sol Ruca then says she sees and hears her and knows who Zaria really are, and dares Zaria to prove she can stand alone at Stand & Deliver. When Sol Ruca demands Zaria face her, Zaria shows up and accuses Sol Ruca of wanting her own success more while giving her nothing and making her nothing more than "Sol Ruca's partner" rather than Zaria. She states that when she Speared Sol Ruca, she took back everything Sol Ruca took from her, and she was no longer standing in her own shadow. She says that this all started at Stand & Deliver and that it will all end there. Zaria says that Sol Ruca was never going to share anything with her as soon as she kicked her off the ladder, and that she hated having to stand near someone who had everything she wanted and could not get it. Zaria concludes for that as long as Sol Ruca stands, she is never going to. She says this is not about Sol Ruca, but about choosing herself, and if breaking her will allow her to be who she wants to become, so be it. Sol Ruca is surprised that Zaria views her as the bad guy in her story and that she viewed their friendship as a transactional relationship, then says that Zaria threw away opportunities because she was ashamed to stand beside her. Zaria says that Sol Ruca is not the villain, but the mistake.



Backstage, "All Ego" Ethan Page and Ricky Saints talk in the locker room. Ethan says she wants to be NXT Champion, as does Saints. Josh Briggs is sitting nearby and listening, and say that while they are complaining, he cannot even get five minutes with Interim General Manager Robert Stone.

Candice has to bring a slightly confused Gargano to the ring, and Gargano starts planking again after being struck upon trying to get in the ring. Shortly afterwards, Dion Lennox is attacked by OTM (Bronco Nima and Lucien Price on the outside. After the match, Myles Borne shows up and stares down Johnny Gargano, and the fire returns to Gargano once again.





Backstage, Brad Baylor, "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes and Josh Briggs all want Interim General Manager Robert Stone's time when a referee shows up, stating that Keanu Carver is out of control again. The referee leaves, then Jaida Parker shows up wanting a match with Kelani Jordan. Stone makes it official for next week.

NXT Origins with Tiffany Stratton from last night's Raw is replayed.



Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews OTM (Bronco Nima and Lucien Price). Bronco Nima and Lucien Price say that this is revenge on Darkstate's (Dion Lennox, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin) recent parking lot attack and while DarkState made it personal, they made if official. They will face DarkState next week in a six-man tag match, and Lucien Price says they have somebody outside of NXT who will team with them: Mike Santana, who says that DarkState is dealing with a collection of savages surrounded by a concrete jungle and is stepping into his home.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 24, 2025

John Cena heads to the ring to start tonight's show. He says the crowd is ready to do their worst as they have understood what is going on and that the spotlight is on them, and that he can rip any of the fans to shreds. Cena says no one in safe, especially after he put a clueless kid on blast, but when WWE posted it, everyone loved it. This leads to a "Fuck you, Cena!" chant, then asks who is worse, him - the one guy who always tells the truth - or the fans, whose best idea is to use profanity as they love to watch and rewatch and meme a young kid getting destroyed. He says he does not need to single anyone here out as they are all horrible people, and tonight, they get to fnd out how he will make them pay for the abuse they have put him through. He says that for 25 years, he has listened to the fans' lies and noise, but he did not waste that time being mean and instead, he paid attention. This leads to a "Shut the fuck up!" chant from the crowd. Cena says the fans make this so easy and that they were chanting profanity at the top of their lungs, he was paying attention to the fans, studying, quizzing, testing, prodding and even rewarding them for playing around with their curse-ridden nursery rhymes, and in doing so, they have told him every single thing about themselves. He says the fans know nothing about him and that he knows more about the fans than they do, and proclaims that they all have sad lives and that this is all they have. To him, the fans have been nothing more than an experiment and "rats in a cage," and asks the fans to pick any moment from his career so he can reveral what he learned about them. He says that when he bled, the fans thought he was tough; when he spoke, they were inspired; when he was edgy, they were excited; when he was vanilla, they were bored; when he was loyal, they were loved; when he was selfish, they were disrespected; when he would speak in rhythmic tones, they chanted "What?" Cena says the fans will always tell everything about themselves because they desperately want to matter, and the most important thing they told him was in April 2005, when he gave the fans the "spinner belt," and just like now, they ate him alive and told him how stupid he was for turning the WWE Championship into a toy; he states it is not a toy, but a symbol of the center of WWE, and it disrespected tradition as well as the fans' legacy. He says this was the biggest mistake the fans ever made, as they told him what meant the most to them in their lives, and for that, he will ruin wrestling for every fan, for every wrestler, and for everyone. He says that at WrestleMania, he will make history by winning a 17th championship, and he will finally force everyone to forget "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair's name and say the name "John Cena." He also says that he will win the championship - the center of every Superstar in the business and every fan in the building - and retire with it, and take it home with him and leave the fans to create their own "toy belt." Cena proclaims that he will become the last real champion in WWE, and says that revenge is best served cold, and that he will pay the fans back by ripping their collective heart out and forcing them to watch as he walks away with the fans' memories, traditions and dreams with nothing they can do to stop him. "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes shows up and gets the "Daddy Cool"-style chant, then reminds Cena that he has to take the Undisputed WWE Championship away from him first. Cody says he made a mistake bringing up "the new John" and that Cena is clearly angry and willing, and is the most dangerous he has ever been. He says that Cena made the biggest mistake was in not hitting him with the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber, but in saying what he just said while in the building. Cody says that they do not have to unpack their history, and that he has fought hard and violently just to hold the WWE Championship one time just to validate one name, and yet Cena satates that the timeline of all of professional wrestling hangs in the balance because of his vanity. He lays the WWE Championship between them, then gives Cena the opportunity to take the title from him. Both men have a stand-off in the middle of hte ring, then Cena walks away and heads to the back. When Cody screams at him, Cena teases heading back to the ring, but leaves again. Cody says he cannot have this on his consciousness, and that he needs Cena to see him and the fans and understand that his psychotic need to take the WWE Championship does not outweigh their right to keep it. He says the champion in standing in the center of the ring, not in the entryway, and to see Cena walking away empty-handed now is how Cena will walk away from WrestleMania and WWE.



The Usos ("Main Event" Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso) beat A-Town Down Under (Grayson Waller and Austin Theory) in their first tag team match in a year and a half, when they beat Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa at WrestleMania 39. After the match, Gunther shoves Jimmy Uso out of the ring, then brawls with Jey. Jey goes for a Spear, but Jey trips, and Gunther jumps onto Jey and rains down elbows on him until Jimmy chases him away with a metal folding chair.





Backstage, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez entertain the idea of Raquel as a double champion when "Dirty" Dominik and Carlito show up. Dominik says things did not go well with Finn Balor again, and Liv Morgan says Finn Balor blames everyone for all his problems. Liv says that things will get better soon, then Carlito entertains the idea of challenging for the WWE Intercontinental Championship before Liv counters Finn not wanting Penta in The Judgment Day (Finn, Dominik, Carlito, Liv, Raquel) by saying Finn did not want Liv in the group only for things to turn out well.

We see a vignette for "El Grande Americano," who hails from "the Gulf of America" and was raised to be the ultimate luchador and reach the top of the industry, and for decades, was the face of lucha libre until he was black-balled by his jealous enemies and he disappeared without a trace. Now, the legend has returned to bring honor and glory to lucha libre. (The vignette is also noticably AI-generated.) Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce, Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee have seen the vignette, and "El Grande Americano" is the newest member of the Raw roster. Chad Gable shows up coughing with a tissue in his hand to insist that he is not El Grande Americano, even though they both have some physical similarities. He produces a legitimate doctor's note to Adam Pearce and says he cannot compete tonight, and proposes that Dragon Lee face El Grande Americano. Dragon Lee says he will take the match, then he and Rey leave as Rey tells Gable "You're a real jackass."



Actor Richard Gadd is seen in the crowd.

Lyra Valkyria retains the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship against Raquel Rodriguez after making Liv Morgan pay for putting Raquel's foot on the bottom rope during a pinfall attempt and reversing the Tejana Bomb with a Victory Roll. After the match, Liv attacks Lyra from behind, and Raquel joins in. Bayley soon runs into the ring to make the save, and she and Lyra soon clean house.





It is announced that The Natural Disasters (Earthquake and Typhoon) will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2025.

Backstage, Jimmy Uso meets with "Main Event" Jey Uso and says that Jey has been in his own head since last week and that if he keeps slipping like he has since last week, he will not win at WrestleMania. Jey says he does not know if he can beat Gunther, but Jimmy says it is "not this Uce" and that he needs "The Right Hand Man" and the man who won the Royal Rumble. Jimmy then sees Gunther and challenges him to a match next week. Gunther accepts as long as he does not trip and fall like his brother, and Jimmy responds by slapping Jimmy in the face. Gunther smiles after Jimmy leaves.



General Manager Adam Pearce is in the ring with the contract for the Women's World Championship match between Bianca Belair and Iyo Sky at WrestleMania, which also contains Rhea Ripley's signature. He assures that Rhea Ripley is not in the match, and Ripley's signature means nothing as she already has a rematch while Bianca has earned the right to be called #1 contender. He says that Rhea will not earn her title shot on her own time before Iyo Sky shows up and says she does not care about contracts, and that it does not matter who she faces, as she will take on both of them because she is Women's World Champion. As Adam Pearce asks Iyo Sky to hear him out, Bianca shows up and says Pearce is right in confirming she earned her championship opportunity at WrestleMania, and she is not about to let Rhea Ripley headbutther way into the match, saying that if she did not earn it, she does not deserve it. Rhea Ripley shows up and says she does not give a damn about WrestleMania and that she does not care who she has to go through to get her title back; all she wants is her rematch. Bianca tells Ripley to wait three more weeks to get her rematch, and Ripley shoves Iyo Sky to the side. Pearce has to hold Iyo Sky back as he angrily announces that Ripley will get her rematch next week, with the winner facing Bianca at WrestleMania, and then leaves. The three women then brawl, and Bianca comes out on top.



Backstage, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio meets with Penta, saying he knows he is good and could be better, and offers him a spot in The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Dominik, Carlito, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez).

We see a vignette for The War Raiders (Ivar and Erik).

Backstage, The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) meet with General Manager Adam Pearce demanding a tag team title match at WrestleMania, and do not get it, being told to come back when they are ready to prove they are the greatest tag team in the world. The New Day leave, then Bianca shows up wanting to know who her WrestleMania opponent is, and finds out that she will be the special guest referee for Rhea Ripley vs. Iyo Sky for the Women's World Championship.



El Grande Americano beats Dragon Lee by submission with an ankle lock after ripping Dragon Lee's mask off and pulling him off the top rope. Dragon Lee is forced to submit to hide his true, unmasked identity.



CM Punk heads to the ring. Punk says that while he is happy to be in Glasgow, Scotland, he is not in a good mood. While he has a match at WrestleMania, it is not initially what he wanted. He addresses what has been going on since Royal Rumble with Seth "Freakin'" Rollins and Roman Reigns, and says that the two men who are keeping him away from what he wants have to go. He says Rollins takes him as a threat to his own career, and that Roman is taking things personally now that Paul Heyman is not just his wise man anymore. He says things that are personal to them is business to him, and announces a contract signing for their WrestleMania match before stating that he wants to read the fine print and see if it either gets him what he wants or is "another rug pull from the powers that be." He tells Roman and Rollins to fuel up the jets since they could not grace the fans with their presence in Glasgow, and that he will see them in London, England. He also warns them that neither of them have beaten him without the others' help because they cannot, and that he brought them into the business and cannot wait to be the man who takes them both out of it.



We see an Instagram video from Logan Paul, who says that he is praying for "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles' downfall and that he wants to see Styles next week.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Bron Breakker. Breakker says that The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Dominik, Carlito, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez) is Penta's business and that he will beat Penta in the center of the ring and retain the WWE Intercontinental Championship "because the dogs are barkin' in Glasgow [, Scotland]."

Bron Breakker retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Penta by disqualification. During the match, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and Carlito show up to stand in Penta's corner. Near the end of the match, Dominik distracts the referee so that Carlito can get involved, but Carlito eats a Spear. Dominik then hits Bron Breakker with a chop block, which ends the match. After the match, Breakker and Dominik brawl until Finn Balor shows up and hits Breakker with a metal folding chair before handing it to Dominik so that he can finish the job and join in on the beatdown. All the while, Penta has no idea what happened. All of a sudden, Dominik hands Penta the chair and tells him to hit Breakker, but he throws it at Dominik and superkicks it into Dominik's head instead. Finn Balor then assaults Penta before hitting Breakker with a metal folding chair and nailing Penta with the Coup de Grace.

Jade Cargill soon shows up, and after Indi and Candice walk away, Jade says she will speak with General Manager Nick Aldis.

It's time for The Grayson Waller Effect. A QR code pops up before the show begins. Tonight's guest is LA Knight, but Carmelo Hayes interrupts before Knight can be introduced. Carmelo says it sounded like Grayson Waller and Austin Theory were talking about him and were missing a couple of things. While Theory is initially reluctant, Grayson is more than happy to make Carmelo their guest when Carmelo says guys like them should stick together. Carmelo says guys like Bobby Lashley are selfish egomaniacs, then says Knight is a veteran who has accomplished nothing and does nothing but talk. Theory and Grayson agree, and as the three of them agree to continue tonight's show, LA Knight shows up. LA Knight tosses one of the plants out of the ring as he makes his entrance, then tells Carmelo Hayes is poking around with a sharp stick and that the dog is eventually going to bite. Carmelo hits Knight with a cheap shot, and Grayson and Theory soon join in before The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) and B-Fab show up. The Street Profits even the odds, and stand in the ring with LA Knight.



We hear from Blair Davenport, who talks about living one's truth. She says that everyone is weak and lazy and that bad things happen to them because they allow it, and that they are not successful because they are not good enough. Davenport then dares anyone whose feelings are hurt to do something about it.

LA Knight and The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) beat Grayson Waller, Austin Theory and Carmelo Hayes in a six-man tag match.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes heads to the ring. Before Cody can say anything, however, Logan Paul shows up. Logan Paul says that Cody just got played and that he has another title in his sights and that he will be walking out as double champion. He says that Cody may have the experience, but he is smarter, and the bleach is getting to Cody's brain. Logan says he is a better athlete, entertainer and wrestler than Cody, then says that he has handed his brass knuckles to Michael Cole and will not need them to beat Cody tomorrow. Cody says Logan is not an idiot, but his experience leads him to believe that Logan is a scared kid who will be seen as a fraud in WWE and a YouTube pretending to be a pro wrestler. He says that he does not believe that and that Logan is good, and that Logan is suffering from impostor syndrome and is carrying another set of brass knuckles right now. Logan says Cody can call him many things, but a liar is not one of them, and that he gave his only brass knuckles to Michael Cole. Cody then has referee Ryan Tran check Logan Paul for weapons. Logan tells Ryan Tran to check Cody first, and Ryan Tran says that Cody is clean. He then checks Logan, and finds another set of brass knuckles. Logan says these are his brother's pants and that he does not wear Prada. Logan tells Ryan Tran to check Cody first, and Ryan Tran says that Cody is clean. He then checks Logan, and finds another set of brass knuckles. Logan says these are his brother's pants and that he does not wear Prada. He says that he does not see him as a YouTuber and believes that he is a pro wrestler and a WWE Superstar, but until Logan takes this seriously and gives his all without treating this as "part-time," he will never be WWE Champion, and he will beat him badly. He also tells Logan that he will regret ever stepping into the ring with him.



Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews Randy Orton. Orton says that ever since Tama Tongo stepped foot in a WWE ring, he has proven himself vicious, unhinged and unpredictable, but he has made a name out of himself that way, and while The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Paul Heyman, Tama Tanga, Tanga Loa) has the numbers, he has overcome odds and tonight will be no different.

Backstage, Bayley runs into Nia Jax, who tells Bayley to keep the championship clean for her until SummerSlam.

Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews B-Fab and The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford), who celebrate their win tonight until #DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa) shows up and congratulates them before telling them they are taking the tag team gold. As this goes on, Ciampa takes Dawkins' cup and pours the drink out.

Bayley beats Chelsea Green. After the match, Piper Niven hits Bayley with a cross body. Bayley fights back, then the two of them brawl before Piper hits Bayley with a spinning sidewalk slam followed by a couple of sentons. She then teases leaving the ring before hitting another senton for good measure at the behest of Chelsea Green.





Backstage, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles speaks with General Manager Nick Aldis, asking for one more chance against whoever becomes Undisputed WWE Champion between Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul, mentioning his recent two near-wins and saying he needs this. Aldis says that he respects him and is willing to go to bat for him, but he cannot give him he wants, and that getting another one will take time. Styles says he does not have time. Aldis says that is not something he can help him with, and apologizes.

We hear from Andrade, who says that lucha libre is in his blood as a third-generation superstar and that he is not only a luchador, despite being judged his entire life. He says that he controls his destiny and that he knows who he is and what he wants, and now he will show everyone who Andrade "El Idolo" is.

Backstage, Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Berto, Garza, Elektra Lopez) chat about Andrade, then Santos Escobar says that they should let bygones be bygones regarding Andrade.

Backstage, Paul Heyman tells Solo Sikoa that Tanga Loa is not here only because he cannot make it across the border, and says that he is recruiting dangerous people into The Bloodline (Solo, Heyman, Tama Tanga, Tanga Loa). Solo says he knows, and that he is the man in charge until Roman Reigns returns. He says that if there are any problems, it is up to Heyman to fix them. As Heyman brings up Tama Tonga, Tama Tonga says he was recruited because he is that dangerous, and tomorrow, he will bring gold back to The Bloodline under the order of the Tribal Chief.



Gunther is seen watching from the front row before the next match.

Randy Orton beats Tama Tonga after decking Solo Sikoa at the ring apron to advance to the finals of the King of the Ring Tournament. After the match, Solo Sikoa attacks Randy Orton from behind, then Kevin Owens runs out and makes the save for Orton, forcing Solo to retreat.

Sacrifice 2023 - The Results



Eddie Edwards beats Bhupinder Gujjar in the Countdown to Sacrifice.



It is announced that Mickie James has sustained an injury, and that she will be here to update everyone on her medical condition. It is also announced that "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander has suffered an injury and has been forced to vacate the Impact Wrestling World Championship after a record-setting 335-day reign, and that surgery to repair a torn tricep has been successful. Steve Maclin will be facing KUSHIDA for the vacated Impact Wrestling World Championship at Rebellion, and he will also replace Alexander in the six-man tag team match against Time Machine (Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, KUSHIDA).



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Frankie Kazarian and Rich Swann. Kazarian says he has been in the same situation as Josh Alexander and that this is just a mere speed bump for him and that the setback will lead to the backup. Rich Swann says that Alexander will come back at the top of his game and that they will do this for Josh. On the subject of Steve Maclin suddenly becoming their tag team partner, Kazarian and Swann have no idea what to make of it.

Rosemary beats KiLynn King in the Countdown to Sacrifice after Jessicka beats up Taylor Wilde for getting physically involved in the match.



"Speedball" Mike Bailey beats Jonathan Gresham after missing the Ultima Weapon and reversing the Figure Four Leg Lock after Gresham goes for it.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Brian Myers. Myers says he has pinned Joe Hendry with ease and that he will do it again. He says his first title reign was epic, and that his second reign will be even better. Moose shows up and says the world saw Myers beat Hendry with a little help from him, and tonight, he will make sure lightning strikes twice when he helps him become the new Digital Media Champion. Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and tells Moose he has banned him from ringside.

Before the next match, Joe Hendry says that every so often, the British government will send a member of the royal family to Canada to connect with the people, and this year, there was a massive debate about who to send. He then says that an education will be dished out to Brian Myers as he smacks his face from left to right. Four-time Stanley Cup winner and Detroit Red Wings legend Darren McCarty of the Detroit Red Wings is then seen in the front row as the match begins.

Joe Hendry retains the Impact Wrestling Digital Media Championship against Brian Myers.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Director of Authority Santino Marella and Mickie James. Mickie says she is not feeling good and that she has a broken rib, and while it will not be a long time, it will be some time, and she cannot defend the Impact Wrestling Knockouts Championship. She says that Jordynne Grace warned her against wrestling so close to Sacrifice and that she was looking forward to their match as she knew it would be something special, and that she does not want to leave her or the fans disappointed. She also says that she will not be able to compete at Mulitverse United, and hopes to compete at Rebellion. Santino Marella announces that in case Mickie cannot compete at Rebellion, Jordynne Grace will square off against the winner of the women's Four-Way Match at Multiverse United for the Impact Wrestling Knockouts Championship. In case Mickie James is able to heal in time for Rebellion, it will be a three-way match. Mickie says she wants to be cleared for Rebellion, but Impact Wrestling and the locker room deserve a fighting champion, and she will either defend the title with all that she has or giving the championship to the woman who wins that match.

"The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo beats "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw with the Venus de Milo. After the match, Savannah Evans attacks Deonna Purrazzo, then Tasha Steelz shows up and tries to get Savannah to attack Purrazzo again. When Savannah goes for it, Tasha punches her in the back of the head. Jai Vidal grabs Tasha Steelz from behind, but she fends Savannah and Vidal off with a Tornado DDT before laying Vidal out with a cutter.



PCO beats Kenny King. During the match, Eddie Kingston throws a Kendo stick into the ring to distract the referee so that Kenny King can get a chair. Kenny hits PCO with the chair, but it has no effect, and Kenny goes for another chair strike only for PCO to punch it into Kenny's head for the win.

We see a vignette for Jody Threat, who is coming soon to Impact Wrestling.

Steve Maclin meets with Frankie Kazarian and Rich Swann and says he did not want "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander sitting on the sideline, then says everyone is talking about Alexander and not him. As Swann chews out Maclin, Kazarian stops him and tells Maclin that he is out of line and that tonight, he is their partner, not their friend, and that this partnership has to work out. Maclin says he wants this to work out so he can prepare for KUSHIDA at Rebellion, then says that even when the people he served with did not see eye-to-eye with him, they still got the job done.

Trey Miguel retains the Impact Wrestling X Division Championship against Lince Dorado.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews TMDK ("Hysterical" Shane Haste and Bad Dude Tito). Haste says he told Bullet Club he would keep an eye on them, and now he has called for Bad Dude Tito. Tito says Haste called him concerning beating Bullet Club for championship gold, saying that "the micro mini Bullet Club" will be easier to beat. Haste then says that they will see Bullet Club at Multiverse United after getting the job done tonight.

Bullet Club ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) retain the Impact Wrestling World Tag Championships against TMDK ("Hysterical" Shane Haste and Bad Dude Tito).

Bully Ray beats Tommy Dreamer in a Busted Open Match. During the match, Bully Ray drinks four-time Stanley Cup winner and Detroit Red Wings legend Darren McCarty's beer and spits it into his face before piefacing him at the front row, and security has to hold an angered McCarty back. Sometime later, Tommy Dreamer inadvertently splashes the referee in the corner, then busts Bully Ray open with a cheese grater to the forehead. Despite this, the match keeps going, and The Good Hands get involved in the match while Bully Ray busts Dreamer open by sending him face-first into the ring post. Bully hides the fact that he is busted open with a towel while The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) revive the referee long enough to get the referee to call the match with the win going to Bully Ray. After the match, The Good Hands and Bully Ray set up a table, then Yuya Uemura show up and fight Bully only to get laid out. Darren McCarty jumps the barricade and tries to get past security, who hold him back. Bully Ray sees this happen, then tells McCarty that if he wants to fight him, then security can let him go so he can do that. Security lets McCarty go, and McCarty gets in the ring and gets in a hockey fight with Bully Ray. As McCarty gets the upper hand, The Good Hands attack him, then Bully Ray and The Good Hands put McCarty through a table. Suddenly, Scott D'Amore returns for the first time since Bully Ray injured him, then Hath, Rhino, Jonathan Gresham, "Speedball" Mike Bailey and Joe Hendry show up and charge the ring. Bully Ray and The Good Hands retreat, but Jason Hotch gets back in the ring to attack Scott D'Amore only for D'Amore to hit him with a Canadian Destroyer. Darren McCarty is then helped up off the mat.





Time Machine (Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, KUSHIDA) beat Steve Maclin, Rich Swann and Frankie Kazarian with a Hoverboard Lock from KUSHIDA to Maclin.

Backstage, we hear from Kale Dixon, who says that while Odyssey Jones is a good, big, athletic competitor, he has been doing this for five years. He says that if he had five years experience, he would have made Odyssey Jones look like a big old pile of trash.

After the match, Heyman and Solo get on the apron, and Heyman tells Cody that he is owed an apology and that ring announcer Samantha Irvin did "a lousy job" of announcing Cody's victory before doing it himself, calling Cody a challenger as he does. He says that Cody will see his road to WrestleMania with a pothole in front of him on Monday night when he faces Solo Sikoa, and if Cody survives against Solo, all roads will lead to Roman Reigns, who will see Cody one final time face-to-face next week. Cody asks Heyman if he is moving the goalposts for him before calling him out for interrupting the fans as they sang his entrance theme, and tells Solo once again that he is not ready. Cody then tells Heyman that at WrestleMania, Roman Reigns will find out that he is not ready, either.

WrestleMania 39 is eight days away!

Charlotte says becoming a 14-time world champion was not built by fear, insecurity or nepotism, as this business was built on respect - not on fear - and that she respects, not fears, Rhea Ripley, and that she only feared her own potential. After stating that she respected all of her opponents, she admits that she has her insecurities, and that she has built her house on all the bricks that people have thrown at her.

Near the end of the match, Dominik trips Rey on the outside as he goes for the 619, allowing LA Knight to win with a schoolkid pin. After the match, Dominik asks Rey if he is going to give him what he wants while proceeding to shove him around. Rey says no and rolls out of the ring, and Dominik tells Rey to walk away like he always does before asking his mother in the front row what it is like to be married to a loser who cannot stand up to his own son.Dominik then tells his mother that she married a deadbeat and that she sat there every night while Rey was gone, and that makes her a deadbeat mom. Aliyah confronts Dominik, who tells her that she does not understand. Dominik then tells his mother to shut up and sit down, and Rey approaches Dominik and punches him out. Dominik then tells his mother to shut up and sit down, and Rey approaches Dominik and punches him out.

WWE official Adam Pearce moderates a contract signing between Drew McIntyre, Sheamus and Gunther for the WWE Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania. McIntyre appears before the commercial break, and Sheamus shows up with Butch and Ridge Holland after it. Sheamus says he is angry with Drew McIntyre because he has worked towards a goal for the last fifteen years and told McIntyre about it only for McIntyre to go behind his back and go for it before he could. He then says that he gets the chance to smash his face in at WrestleMania, but McIntyre tells Sheamus that he keeps trying to guilt trip him when they should be friends, but Sheamus cannot separate what is business from what is personal. McIntyre says he has beaten Sheamus and that he can beat Gunther while Sheamus cannot. Pearce reminds both men that he needs signatures on the contract right now, and both McIntyre and Sheamus sign the contract. Gunther then heads to the ring and demands Pearce to justify the decision of a Triple Threat Match for the Intercontinental Championship to him, but Pearce tells him to sign the contract, which Gunther does. Gunther then says that whatever he does to keep the Intercontinental Championship will be justified, and as he threatens to beat everyone up as well as Ridge Holland and Butch, Butch jumps Gunther, who then takes his anger out on Pearce, demanding a match against Butch.

He then gifts Sami with a "KO Mania Goes Hollywood" shirt, but Kevin Owens is on the back while "WrestleZaynia Goes Hollywood" is on the front. Both men hug it out, but they are both attacked by The Usos, who hit Sami with the 1D before Owens chases them out of the ring with a chair.

Shera - now accompanied by Raj Singh - beats Crazzy Steve in the BTI match.

"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Alexander says that he thought he knew everything that Moose was capable of, but even he did not think that Moose would do what he did last week. He says that Moose crossed a line intimidating his family and there is no going back. Alexander says Moose has pushed him over the edge, and while he is more motivated than ever to kick his ass, he feels pain, and now he will make sure that Moose feels disappointment when he takes the Impact World Championship from him. He says that since Moose has no problem entering his home, Impact Wrestling is his home, and he dares Moose to get in the ring as he has left the door open. Moose shows up and tells Alexander he has failed to protect his family, and at Rebellion, he will fail to get his hands on the Impact World Championship. He tells Alexander he should be grateful he is a great human being, as he could take another trip to his home and show his son what a real role model is. After Moose says he will not fail his son like he did, Josh Alexander runs at Moose and beats Moose up, taking their brawl to the back. The brawl ends when other members of the locker room try to hold both men back when Alexander tries to toss Moose over a balcony.

He says that next week, they will right that wrong in a rematch and prove the Machine Guns cannot beat them. Karl Anderson says that is good, but it does not feel right not being tag team champions and that they plan to take the tag team titles back. Chris Bey says they have The Good Brothers' ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) backs, and Doc Gallows says that he and Anderson are coming for the tag team titles.

Eddie Edwards beats Rocky Romero with a stack-up pin. After the match, Eddie offers to shake Rocky's hand, then kicks him in the face.

He then says that people will soon pay attention to him, and if they do not, the walls will come crushing down on them when his boot kicks them in. He says that his name will be remembered, and sooner or later, it will be showtime.

Tony Schiavone interviews Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. on the stage. Britt Baker disapproves of the warm welcome the crowd gives her after last week and calls them as disrespectful at Thunder Rosa, then says Thunder Rosa should be thanking her every day she wakes up, as she will be forever remembered now thanks to her and the history that she wrote with her own blood. She then says Thunder Rosa had the audacity to stand in her company and women's division and say that she was the one to put the women's division on the map. She then asks why everyone is talking about her and not Thunder Rosa before saying she does not need the adulation of wrestling legends and experts. She says that she became a hardcore legend in one night when it took Mick Foley twenty years, then says she has never been able to see more clearly than before last week, saying that Tony Khan has been digging up every legend and "has-been" when he has one under his nose in her when she put AEW on the map last week. She then says that AEW is the second-most important set of letters behind D.M.D.



Backstage, The Varsity Blondes (Griff Garrison and Brian Pillman Jr.) are talking with Dante Martin and Christian Cage. After Christian checks up on Darius Martin, Dasha Gonzalez interviews Christian. Christian says he is getting to know people backstage while giving some friendly advice when Frankie Kazarian shows up to meet with Christian. Kazarian says he is happy for him, then sees his "Out. Work. Everyone." and says that he has lived by that advice before asking when the "work" part will begin. Christian says it starts next week, but he does not have an opponent, and asks Kazarian if he is free. Kazarian tells Christian "You're on," then asks him to check out his match this Monday night on AEW Dark Elevation, as seven years is a long time to be out of the ring.



The Pinnacle (Dax Harwood, Cash Wheeler, Shawn Spears) beat Dante Martin and The Varsity Blonds (Griff Garrison and Brian Pillman Jr.) in a six-man tag match. After the match, Wardlowlays out Brian Pillman Jr. and Dante Martin, then Tony Schiavone interviews The Pinnacle in the ring. Cash Wheeler says The Pinnacle is not just a name or a group, but family, and he will live and die for them as he has no wife and kid waiting for him and home. Harwood says Santana and Ortiz have done well for themselves, but he and Wheeler are not fooled and tells them to ask for The Pinnacle to see where they stand in the business. MJF says he thought Chris Jericho would show up and break the walls down by now, but Jericho is now only breaking whatever chair he decides to sit on. He then tells Jericho to grab The Inner Circle and face him right now before saying he will not do it because they are terrified. When Schiavone reminds MJF that The Pinnacle took out The Inner Circle, MJF stops him, then says that next week, he has the gift of a lifetime for The Pinnacle when it comes to all the gold they are about to win.



We hear from Team Taz (Taz, "The Machine" Brian Cage, "Absolute" Ricky Starks, Powerhouse Hobbs, Hook). Taz says there are a lot of conspiracy theories concerning Team Taz, but assures there are no problems in the team, that everything is good and that Cage apologized to the group and directly to Ricky Starks for his actions last week. Hobbs, Hook, Starks and Cage all say that they are doing fine.

Tony Schiavone interviews QT Marshall on the stage. Marshall says he is frustrated, and says that "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes taught him the value of doing the work. He then says there is nobody else in AEW other than Tony Khan who has done more actual work than him, and while he has been thrown some bones, he has to do a lot of behind-the-scenes work when the show is over while Cody sleeps in the hotel. He says that he woke up one day and realized that there is not a ladder he can't jump off of or a match he can't win without an asterisk and "Cody's friend" next to it. He says that the only way to get out of Cody's shadow is to have an exhibition match against Cody himself so he can prove he not only belongs, but can hang with the best in AEW. He says he cannot control what anyone else does in AEW, he can control what he does, and he wil not continue to take meaningless bumps and jeapordize his quality of life only to stay in Cody's shadow. Cody shows up wearing a cast on his left arm, and while he admits his heart is not into this, he will gladly accomodate the fans and the Nightmare Family. He then gives Marshall his exhibition match and makes "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson the referee. He says that while he cannot just let Marshall win, he will not hurt him in case he locks in the Figure Four or hooks the Cross Rhodes. He says that when AEW had blossoming success and he filled a spot people thought he wouldn't, people got angry and Marshall not only became a good assistant, but a friend in a business full of acquaintances. Cody says that Marshall might be his friend, but they will have the exhibition match, friend to friend. Cody and Marshall shake hands.



Matt Jackson's wife Dana and their two children, Zack and Courtney, are seen in the front row before the next match.

Laredo Kid and The Lucha Bros. (Penta El Zero M and Rey Fenix) beat The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and Brandon Cutler in a six-man tag match. (The match is Laredo's Kid's first AEW match since Fyter Fest 2019.) After the match, Kenny Omega shows up with Don Callis and blindsides Laredo Kid with the microphone before attacking him with the AEW World Championship. He takes the microphone and says he remembers three yars ago when he and the Bucks had a choice, and while he never chose AEW, he chose The Young Bucks and the vision they created to make AEW the best wrestling promotion on the planet. He then says that instead of sitting in the high school cafeteria with the cool kids and the captain of the football team, they chose Brandon Cutler, and while he chose the Bucks, the Bucks never chose him back. He says that while Don Callis can be a little abrasive, he will give the Bucks one more chance before telling them to toss the "Too Sweet" hand signal up to see if they are still with him. Matt, Nick and Cutler walk away, and after Omega says he and the Bucks are done, Penta El Zero M and Rey Fenix lay Omega out. After they and Laredo Kid leave, The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) show up to help up Omega, who is now bleeding from the mouth.





We hear from Jade Cargill, who says that Red Velvet made the biggest mistake in her career by getting in her face. She says that she beat her a couple of weeks ago, and yet Red Velvet is coming back for more. She says that she is on the road to greatness while Red Velvet is just a pit stop on the road to her throne, and while they are undefeated in singles match, there can only be one and she is the one. She tells Red Velvet that when she steps in the ring, she will be stepping in the ring with "that bitch."



We see a teaser for a brand new TNT series called "Rhodes To The Top", a reality show that focuses on "The American Nightmare' Cody Rhodes and Brandi Rhodes' work life and family life.



We hear from Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston. Kingston says he has broken things before and has come back from it, then tells The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) that this is not New Japan or about selling some tacky T-shirts, saying that they will pay for this when they put them in the morgue for taking him out. Moxley says The Good Brothers must ask themselves how far they are willing to take this, and says there is war on the streets of Jacksonville, Florida. Moxley then admits he does not like The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), but says he owes them one after last week, and while he has no patience for the melodrama that is going on, they are playing with live rounds. He tells The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) that if they want to get in the game, they had better be willing to get their hands dirty.



Tay Conti beats "The Native Beast" Nyla Rose. After the match, Vickie Guerrero grabs Tay Conti by the leg from the outside, allowing Nyla to grab Tay Conti. As she goes for the Beast Bomb, Hikaru Shida shows up, hits Nyla Rose in the bac with a Kendo stick and goes for the ground and pound. The Bunny then shows up and attacks both Tay Conti and Hikaru Shida while Matt Hardy, The Butcher and The Blade watch from the stage. Matt Hardy then says that the AEW Women's Championship Eliminator Tournament was terrible and a sham because The Bunny was not in it, then says that his clients have been overlooked for far too long. He says that this ends now.



We see a video package that previews the Arcade Anarchy match next week between Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Orange Cassidy) and the team of "Superbad" Kip Sabian and Miro.



Next week: Hikaru Shida and Tay Conti vs. The Bunny and "The Native Beast" Nyla Rose! Kenny Omega and The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) vs. The Lucha Bros. (Penta El Zero M and Rey Fenix) and Laredo Kid! "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes vs. QT Marshall! Chrsitian Cage vs. Frankie Kazarian!

We hear from Scorpio Sky, who says that he has shown a side that the fans have not seen and that he has been screwed over and over again. He says that everyone has to stop pretending that he is not uniquely gifted, because humility only gives people a reasaon to underrate someone and his days of being underrated are over.

Karrion Kross beats Oney Lorcan. After the match, Karrion Kross addresses Finn Balor, saying that his actions had malice and intentions, and that he realized that he gave respect to a man who neither deserved or appreciated it. He says that Finn Balor's neck felt like anybody's else in his hand, and that when the fuse is lit, there is no stopping what is next. Suddenly, Finn Balor shows up. Balor tells Kross that he took his best shot last week, but he is still standing, and what Kross really did is show him his weakness, for when a man is young, he fights with uncontrollable emotion. He says it was not until he learned to control his emotion and become cold that he became untouchable in the ring, then says Kross still fights with emotion and that everything he does is a reaction, and when it happens, he is sloppy and vulnerable. Balor tells Kross that at NXT TakeOver: Stand And Deliver he will push him to the point of either surprising everyone and mastering his emotions or letting his emotions master him, and when they master him, he will drag him into the cold, deep water where he will drown him with no emotion.

On the stage, General Manager William Regal confronts Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly for their recent actions while moderating a contracting signing for the match they will have at NXT TakeOver: Stand And Deliver. While not medically cleared, O'Reilly will still be in the match if he signs the contract which states that NXT will not be responsible for what happens during the match. As he signs the contract, Cole tells O'Reilly to picture being blind only to one day wake up and see everything, and calls it a relevation. He says he had a relevation that The Undisputed Era (Cole, Bobby Fish, O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) held him back and that O'Reilly made him see that. He says that he thought The Undisputed Era was about brotherhood, but after O'Reilly failed to win the NXT Championship twice and tried to befriend Finn Balor into The Undisputed Era, he considered O'Reilly a lapdog who is comfortable on the sidelines. Cole says he is nothing like O'Reilly and will never be on the sidelines, and says that O'Reilly lost sight of what The Undisputed Era was about, which was being the best, and says O'Reilly should be thanking him, as he would not be in NXT without him. Cole says that he is the one who led the charge, held the NXT Championship and sold the T-shirts, and says that without him, O'Reilly is nothing. He then says that he cannot wait to face him at NXT TakeOver: Stand And Deliver, as everyone except "the lapdog sitting across from him at the table" knows he will win. Cole then signs the contract. O'Reilly says he and Cole knew each other for a long time, and that they did not care who they stepped on to get to the top and make a statement. He says that they will always have heat with the locker room as well as RegalHe says that they will always have heat with the locker room as well as Regal, and started taking accountability for his actions. He says that they became better wrestlers, champions and stars, but only one of them became a better human.He calls Cole "the same asshole who walked in here three-and-a-half years ago," and after Cole has stated that those years meant nothing, he says that he sold his soul to The Undisputed Era and now wants it back. O'Reilly calls Cole "a prick" who used his best friends to get to where he was, then says that not one person will be surprised after he beats Cole to a pulp for the first time in nearly four years and sleeps like a baby. He then signs the contract. Cole tells O'Reilly to sign his death warrant, and when O'Reilly throws his pen at him afterwards, security has to quickly move into place when both men are about to go at each other.
