Has fun hoss-off with Big Show the crowd is really into, wins cleanly, immediately followed by an opportunistic Roman Reigns attacking the worn out badass, gets his heelish poo poo pushed in while the crowd cheers.

Vince: THEY'RE CHEERING THE WRONG GUY, DAMMIT! What are we doing wrong here?.....no, no it's the fans who are wrong.

Raw Results:

  • Owens did a promo badmouthing Goldberg, refused to talk about Chris Jericho.

  • Enzo and Big Cass defeated Sheamus and Cesaro and became Number One Contenders for the tag titles

  • Mick Foley told Owens that he would face Sami Zayn tonight.

  • A tweet by Charlotte calling Bayley's win into question was shown.

  • Roman Reigns wanted a match with Strowman but Foley said he'd already booked Strowman/Big Show as the main event. The Club showed up and challenged Roman who accepted it as a handicap match.

  • THE Brian Kendrick assaulted Akira Tozawa before the start of their match by faking him out with a handshake.

  • The Club "defeated" Roman Reigns by DQ after he beat them up with a steel chair.

  • The New Day will host Wrestlemania this year. They did a bit with Jinder, Rusev and Lana regarding the stolen plans for their Ice Cream machine. New Day defeated Jinder and Rusev in a match and stole the ice cream plans.

  • Video package memorial for George "The Animal" Steele

  • Jack Gallagher and Neville did a contract signing for the Cruiserweight Title. Neville mocked Gallagher for being a stereotype, Gallagher retorted he was the genuine article and chased Neville out of the ring.

  • Nia Jax beat Sarah Pierce in 30 seconds.

  • Black History month piece on Barack Obama.

  • Stephanie McMahon tried to convince Bayley to surrender the Women's title. Sasha Banks came down to support Bayley, Bayley refused to give up the belt and said if Charlotte wants it back she'll have to fight her for it.

  • Sasha Banks beat Charlotte after Bayley prevented Dana Brooke from interfering.

  • DDP is the latest Hall of Fame entrant

  • Sami Zayn did a backstage promo talking poo poo about Samoa Joe and reminding Chris Jericho he warned him about the type of friend Kevin Owens is. Before his match with Owens could start, Samoa Joe attacked Sami from behind. Owens defeated the battered Sami in just over a minute.

  • A graphic was shown for the late Ivan Koloff.

  • Mick Foley warned Stephanie that he wasn't stupid and the match between Bayley and Charlotte at Fastlane would stand. Stephanie quietly threatened him if he doesn't watch his mouth.

  • Paul Heyman hijacked Cole's attempt to interview Brock Lesnar and did a promo while Lesnar sat uncomfortably close to the camera and kept loving with the framing.

  • Braun Strowman defeated The Big Show in fairly good match. Roman Reigns attacked Braun after the match but Braun fought him off and beat him up and ended the show standing tall.

  • Postshow, The Rock came out to film segments for his new film based on Paige's family. He called CM Punk and got his voicemail, and got the Arena to chant Punk's name as the message.

----------------------------

Smackdown Results:

  • Daniel Bryan announced that Naomi's injury was worse than thought and as much as he hated to do it, he had to ask her to relinquish the Women's Title and she would not be able to defend it at Wrestlemania as she had dreamed. The crowd booed her handing the title over but Bryan had them give her a round of applause. Alexa Bliss demanded the title but Bryan instead announced a title match between her and Becky Lynch.

  • Alexa Bliss defeated Becky Lynch to win the vacated Women's Title after a cheap shot to the throat while the ref was busy fixing the ring apron which Alexa had pulled clear. Mickie tried to attack Becky postmatch but Becky caught her and knocked her out of the ring.

  • Dean Ambrose gave a backstage promo covering being attacked by Corbin last week, and the title opportunity he could get in the Battle Royal tonight. Kalisto did a promo trying to start a Lucha chant. Miz did a promo citing all his achievements, including having a hot wife.

  • Nattie claimed Nikki was a fraud and she would expose her "even more than Nikki exposes herself with her lousy wrestling skills!"

  • American Alpha defeated The Fashion Police. The Usos come out through the crowd to mock them, and actually did a really good promo about how they have nothing to lose and AA can't ever relax knowing they're around.

  • AJ stopped a geek backstage to yell at him, then turned it into a happy joke because he was going to the main event of Wrestlemania! Dolph Ziggler superkicked a backdrop. Mojo Rawley hyped up because he thought he would win the Wrestlemania title spot. Luke Harper warned everybody he was now free and thus they should,"Run!"

  • Nikki told Renee she was going to put Nattie behind her tonight just like their friendship was behind them.

  • Nattie defeated Nikki in a Falls Count Anywhere match. The match went on all around the ring and up the ramp and into the backstage. During the backstage segment Nikki was pushed into Maryse and knocked her over. Back on the ramp Nikki had the match won when Maryse ran out and assaulted her with a pipe. Miz hauled Maryse away and Nattie pinned Nikki for the win.

  • Baron Corbin did a backstage promo about how he loves destruction and hurting people but what he loves most is the spotlight, and when he wins the Battle Royal tonight he will get the spotlight he deserves in the main event of Wrestlemania. Apollo Crews also claimed he would win. Bray and Randy warned everybody that winning the Battle Royal would just be setting themselves up for sacrifice.

  • Luke Harper and AJ Styles drew the Battle Royal in controversial fashion when both went over the top rope at the same time and the refs couldn't decide who landed first. Bryan declared they would have a match next week to determine the winner which got the crowd to boo him. Harper hit AJ with a clothesline and posed before the Wrestlemania sign. Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton appeared on the titantron, Bray laughing as the show went off the air. Order of elimination was Mojo Rawley, Kalisto, Dolph Ziggler, Apollo Crews, Miz, Baron Corbin, John Cena (!) and Dean Ambrose.

Braun can be a big deal. I want WWE to be smart enough to cut bait and have Braun squash Roman.

Also, Enzo's months of being terrible in the ring, getting beaten up, and talking poo poo and hiding behind Cass resulted in loving SHEAMUS getting cheered tonight, which greatly pleased me

I wonder if it was bad relations, AJ Lee wanting too much money (lol considering the budget this movie seems to have). Probably mainly WWE and AJ not getting along.

I can't get over that they did the thing of Bayley was so happy last week, told everyone to watch it oh my god I'm so happy, and didn't watch it back herself and find out she won via cheating. I wonder who had the bright idea to have Stephanie advocate doing the honourable thing to make it seem like a bad idea.


I like how they brought in a 5 foot girl to play a 5 foot 2 girl. They look like children in there (including the bad costumes).

Punk is also smart enough to see when people are deflecting. Maybe Vince didn't organise to fire him on the wedding day, but he did never decide to get behind him, and allowed (or organised) the company to dick him around for years and never treat him as the star he obviously was.

Otherwise, people say that Punk has kept very few of his friends from wrestling. He appears to have gone ridiculously sour over the whole affair.

So in the event THE BIG DOG overcomes the odds which are no doubt the club and Braun at Fastlane, what does BRAUN do at 'Mania? If the rumored retirement of the previous owner of the yard is true via the big dog, I'm not sure who that leaves him to wrestle. Corbin?

Selfishly I hope he "finds his smile" again but I'm also glad to see him happy and healthy and whatever so that's cool too.
