SmackDown Live

SmackDown Live opened up with an recap of the last week actions of AJ Styles and involving Shane McMahon.

SmackDown kicks off backstage with Daniel Bryan. He is soon joined by Styles, who seems like he's in a great mood and asks about Shane. Bryan tells him he has no idea what he's gotten himself into and adds that Shane was a man about the situation because he didn't ambush Styles.

Styles tells him that he felt so good demanding his opportunity last week that he wants to do it again. We then see Styles strolling down the ramp toward the ring.

Styles says that Shane must be crazier than anyone thought and then accepts his challenge. He admits that he wants to be at WrestleMania cause its the Ultimate Thrill Ride. However, he still maintains that Shane needs this match because the blue brand would crumble without him.

He then tells us that he's going to wait for Shane and added that if we thought that last week was bad, this one will be phenomenally worse. 

We return from the break to see Bryan on a call with Shane. He warns Shane that Styles is waiting for him. Shane says something that we can't hear and Bryan smiles and says it might work. 

Corbin walks in on him and demands Ambrose. Bryan tells him that he hasn't heard from Ambrose in a while. Corbin then says he's glad to have a day off and almost leaves. Bryan stops him and gives him a match with the Viper instead.

American Alpha vs. the Usos for the WWE Tag Team Titles

The Usos won 

 Baron Corbin vs. Randy Orton

Both men lie on the canvas until Ambrose appears on a fork lift and says, 'Corbin, you busy?'. Orton takes advantage of the distracted Corbin and finishes the bout with an RKO. 

Randy Orton wins.

Ambrose then walks to the ring and asks Corbin if he wants a match for the IC title at 'Mania and tells him he has got it. He underlines his statement with a DDT and then storms out. 

Young asks Orton what his response is after Wyatt's actions last week on the Titantron. He says he doesn't know what he should do to get rid of Wyatt and as he speaks, the light dims and all of a sudden Orton is surrounded by men in sheep masks. Orton tries to fight them but is overpowered. 

Tyler Breeze seems to have chosen to dress like Nikki Bella.

Before the match starts Fandango takes the mic and gives Cena tickets. He finally tells him that he will expose him for the poor wrestler that he is. He then introduces his 'muscle' as Breezy Bella. Cena points toward the ramp and Nikki Bella walks down it. 

Fandango vs. John Cena:

After Fandango throws some tickets at Cena, John takes control and finishes with a five knuckle shuffle. Breeze tries to help Fandango but is speared by Nikki Bella. The couple then plant the tag team in sync with an AA and a rack attack 2.0. They then finish the bout with the STF.

Cena wins.

Becky Lynch vs. Carmella:

Becky starts with a spin kick to the body and Carmella rolls out of the ring. Lynch follows his and lands a right hand. As they re-enter Carmella lands a boot to her face. However, before she can take advantage, she is ambushed by Natalya who clotheslines her. 

Carmella wins by DQ. 

James then joins the fray, followed by the Champ. James takes out Natalya and is inturn taken out by Bliss. Lynch then dives on Ellsworth and Carmella from the third rope and hits Ellsworth. After all the chaos, Alexa is left standing tall in the center of the ring.

Renee catches up with Styles backstage and asks him of his intentions. A car pulls up and Rhyno & Slater walk out, meanwhile Shane's music goes off in the arena. He strolls down the ramp and into the ring.

Backstage, Renee tells Styles that Shane is in the ring waiting for him . 

He tells AJ that he acts like a tough guy only when he has his back turned. He goes on to say that Styles could have handled it by speaking to him man-to-man or thrown down instead of ambushing him. 

He then threaten to go to Styles if he doesn't want to come out. 

Styles paces slowly down and walks into the Gorilla position. He stops, picks up a mic and walks out. He starts by telling Styles to calm down by taking ten seconds. He tries to tell Shane to understand him and says that he made a mistake. He then says that he's sorry.

He goes on to say that Shane did him a favour and says he's not like the other McMahons. He then says that he is going to walk into the ring and sincerely apologize man to man. As soon as he steps in, Shane rains right hands and the action pours out. He then plants Shane onto the barricade. Styles picks up the exhausted Shane, who turns it around into a suplex.

Shane then picks up a monitor, after clearing the commentary table and slams Styles with it. He places AJ on the table, climbs on the top rope and slams into AJ and the table with an elbow drop. The crowd is left chanting 'HOLY SHIT" as SmackDown draws to a close with Shane pointing at the WrestleMania sign. 

Rating : 90/90 

Awesome show other than that Cena/Fandango match I mean it was okay.  But, other than that SD Live performed this week way much better then RAW as we look closer to  WM33

RAW

WWE RAW opens with a look back at last week’s main event segment.

We go right to the ring and out comes RAW General Manager Mick Foley.

He reads a prepared statement and says he stands in front of us a humble man, who has been privileged to be our General Manager. He thanks Triple H and Stephanie McMahon for giving him the opportunity of a lifetime, one he put in jeopardy last week when he shoved Mr. Socko into Triple H’s mouth. Foley apologizes for that. Fans boo. Foley doesn’t want his personal issues with Stephanie to distract from the ultimate thrill ride – WrestleMania 33. A “no!” chant breaks out when it appears Foley is about to announce his departure. Foley announces that he’s taking a leave of absence effective immediately. Fans boo. Foley tears up the index cards and gets a pop. He says Triple H handed him the index cards 10 minutes before going live. He’s Mick friggin’ Foley… the mic starts going out and fans boo. Foley rants until the music hits and out comes Stephanie.

Stephanie hits the ring and rips into Foley. She says this has always been about Foley being right, not the locker room or the fans. Fans start chanting Foley’s name. Stephanie says he only cares about himself, not what’s best for business. Stephanie says Foley can’t even make the big decisions so she has to do it for him. Stephanie has wanted to say something to Foley for a long time… she has two words for him: you’re fired! Stephanie is in Foley’s face. She tells him to get out of the ring but a “no!” chant starts up. Foley goes to the apron to leave but Sami Zayn’s music hits and out he comes.

Sami says what Stephanie is doing to Foley is wrong. Sami says Stephanie has made a lot of wrong decisions but no one has had guts to tell her to her face. Stephanie knocks Sami and tells him to help his broken down mentor to the back so they can move on with the show. CM Punk chants start up now. Foley heads to the back while Sami watches from the apron. Sami says Foley has shown more class and integrity in 9 months as GM than Stephanie has her whole life. Sami says Stephanie should be ashamed of herself. Stephanie mocks Sami and says she wasn’t listening to him. She says Sami is talented but he’s not on the level of someone who can come out and question her, or even speak to her at all. Stephanie tells Sami to go to the back and think about how he’s going to make this up to her. She mocks Sami again as Foley looks on from ringside. Sami looks to leave but he has second thoughts. The smart thing would be for him to go to the back but he’s about doing the right thing, not the smart thing. The music hits and out comes Samoa Joe.
Stephanie tells Foley to get out once and for all. She puts Sami in a match with Joe that will begin right now. Foley heads up the ramp while Sami leaps from the ring and takes out Joe on the floor. Sami is fired up as we go to commercial.

Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel with the guest of KO

Jericho welcomes us and says tonight’s guest will be the “real” Kevin Owens. Jericho disses Owens and says he doesn’t need Owens to be his best friend because he’s got a lot of friends, right here in Brooklyn tonight. He’s got The Friends of Jericho to cheer him on, maaan. Fans chant Y2J now. Jericho says Owens considers himself to be a prizefighter but that’s not the real Kevin Owens. Jericho shows us a photo of a 16 year old Owens posing in a Y2J t-shirt. Jericho knocks the young Owens and says he didn’t look like a prizefighter, he looked like a Fan of Jericho… he was marking out, maaan.
Jericho shows us a Twitter conversation between he and Owens when Owens reached out to him for advice in 2014. Jericho goes on and brings up their match at WrestleMania 33. Jericho says when his music hits and he walks down the aisle, it’s going to transport Owens back to when he was the 16 year old nerd in his basement with the Y2J t-shirt on. Jericho says Owens will then realize what he’s gotten himself into and who he’s facing – his idol. Jericho goes on and calls Owens a stupid idiot, which causes a chant to start up. Jericho goes to add Owens to The List again but Samoa Joe appears on the stage. Jericho turns his attention to Joe, allowing Kevin Owens to attack from behind.
Owens unloads on Jericho and beats him around the ring. Owens nails a pop-up powerbomb. A “stupid idiot” chant starts as Owens picks up The List.

SmackDown Live

The show opens with a recap of last week's Talking Smack. The showdown between Shane and AJ Styles backstage is highlighted.

Styles barges into Bryan's "office" and demands to know where Shane is. He says there is a conspiracy against him and he is going to tell the WWE Universe all about it. We go live to the arena to see AJ head to the ring.

Styles complains about how he has been screwed over time and time again when it comes to his rematch for the WWE title, and he says it's even more ridiculous for him not to have a match at WrestleMania. He calls Bryan a puppet and says he and Shane are going to have a conversation tonight about his career.



Natalya vs. Becky Lynch  
Becky Lynch won
Carmella comes out of nowhere and takes out both women with kicks to the head. James Ellsworth follows her around like a puppy as she leaves the ring.


The Miz will host what is being billed as a special episode of MizTV after the break
The Miz reveals his special guests are none other than him and his wife. He shows a clip of him and Maryse beating up Cena and Nikki last week.

We also see footage of The Miz ripping into Bryan and Cena during last week's Talking Smack. Miz says Cena will never propose to Nikki, and then Maryse shares a story from Total Divas about Nikki stabbing her in the back when the show first launched.

Maryse says Nikki stole years of her life by cheating her out of a spot on Total Divas, and she plans on making Nikki suffer by exposing her for what she truly is. Cena's music hits. He and Nikki rush the ring, but Miz and Maryse bail.

Nikki claims Maryse was the one who stabbed her in the back and says they only reason she is in WWE is because of Miz. She challenges Maryse to step into the ring like a real woman so they can fight. Miz says his wife has nothing to prove in the ring. Bryan comes out as Miz is trying to leave and says Miz failed to deliver on his promise of a special episode of MizTV.

Bryan finally made the match official it will be Miz/Maryse vs. Nikki/Cena at WM33


Alexa Bliss vs. Mickie James  

Mickie James won 

Styles is shown waiting for Shane backstage. He hides as Shane pulls into the backstage area in his car and attacks the SmackDown COO as soon as he sees him. AJ beats him from wall to wall, throwing him into anything that would hurt, including a car window which shattered and caused Shane to bleed from the head. This was a brutal segment, and it set up their eventual match at WrestleMania.

After the break, Shane is shown refusing to go to the emergency room. He needs the help of two men to walk to his office. Then we see AJ taking his bag and leaving the locker room. Bryan stops him with security and says AJ made a huge mistake. AJ asks if he is going to be fired and Bryan says yes. This ain't going to be the last time we see AJ he'll be back. Probably, Shane will rehire him for their match or he'll just show up and keep attacking Shane outta no where. We'll see.

Mojo Rawley vs. Dolph Ziggler 

Mojo Rawley won via count out


Randy Orton comes out to address Bray Wyatt 

Orton explains how he spent months dismantling The Wyatt Family from the inside. Wyatt comes on the big screen and talks about Sister Abigail and a bunch of other cryptic things.

He says that to destroy Wyatt he had to destroy what he treasured: Sister Abigail. Orton says he still has to finish what he started and ends by saying he will take everything from Wyatt.

We hear the Wyatt family's eerie crows and then see Bray on his knees. He says Randy is right. He says that he was powerless but that was only until he realised that Sister Abigail lives through him now. 

He says that he now has the power to lead all the lost souls.

He goes on to say he is born again and then adds that he will baptise himself in her ashes. 


Wyatt covers his face in the ashes and then says, 'Follow the 
buzzards' to end the segment.


The Usos vs. American Alpha 
The Usos won 


Right after the tag team match, we see Shane hobble back outside. He looks up at the crowd grimacing and just says that AJ Styles now has an opponent for WrestleMania. 


Rating 85/85

The Styles and McMahon feud is pretty interesting. Cena/Miz and Maryse/Miz as well. There has been some great matches as we look forward to WM33.

RAW

RAW opens up with an recap of last week's RAW where Brock F5'd Goldberg.


Heyman begins by recounting the F5 Goldberg was given last week and says that he isn't the only one who can see the future. He says that all of us can see it now because of Lesnar.

Heyman says that Goldberg has constantly had Lesnar's number but reminded us that things were different last week.

He then went to say that the resurrection of Goldberg will be put down because Heyman's theory of 'Mania relativity is F5= Lesnar up and Goldberg down.

Sasha Banks vs Dana Brooke
Sasha Banks won 

Charlotte tells Dana that she is not fit to ride her coat-tails. Dana finally seems to lose it and turns on Charlotte. She then proceeds to beat down on her. 

The Brian Kendrick and Tony Nese vs. Akira Tozawa and TJ Perkins

Brain Kendrick and Tony Nese won

KO gives another promo about betraying Jericho with a single spotlight shining down on him in a darkened arena. He shows a video package of The Festival of Friendship

Owens claims he was never Jericho's friend and says Chris only stayed around so he could get close to the universal title. He says he only did what Jericho would have eventually done to him and says the only reason Goldberg beat him was because Y2J came out and distracted him.

KO and Samoa Joe vs. Jericho and Sami Zayn

Sami is limping after the spot, and Owens takes advantage with a chop block. The ref calls for the bell when Owens and Joe refuse to stop beating Zayn down.

Jericho tries to make a save, but he ends up suffering the same fate as Zayn. Owens finishes him off with a Popup Powerbomb. It takes four officials to get them to leave the ring.


Big Cass and Enzo Amore vs. Sheamus and Cesaro- Winner faces Anderson and Gallows at WM33 for the Tag Titles
Gallows and Anderson attack both teams to end the match prematurely. This will obviously lead to a Triple Threat match.

Bayley won via DQ

Stephanie is in the ring and requests Mick Foley to come out and tell her who he found to fire.

Foley says the person he wants to fire is Stephanie McMahon. After a loud chant from the crowd, Stephanie says he doesn't have the power to do that. Foley says she is the only one who deserves to go because she treats the wrestlers poorly. He says he treasured their friendship, but she lied to him about Triple H interfering in Rollins' match with Owens six months ago. He calls her a good liar and a bad person and says she needs to go.

After Foley tells Stephanie he will not be silenced, Triple H makes his way to the ring. He threatens to rip Foley's leg off and beat him with it, and Foley says he would probably just assign the task to someone like Samoa Joe.

Triple H says he would have never brought Foley back had Stephanie not insisted on it. He calls Mick a has been and tells him to go back to telling people stories about how good he used to be. Foley says he doesn't need them or this company.

Triple H brings up Dewey working in the office and Noelle wanting to be a WWE Superstar and says that will never happen if he doesn't want it to happen. He tells Foley to tuck his tail between his legs and leave so he can realize he needs this job for his kids. He tells Foley to leave the ring, and he looks like he is about to, but he stops at the last second. Triple H grabs him and Mick sticks Mr. Socko in his mouth. Stephanie hits him with a low blow to make him break the hold.

Before Triple H can attack Foley, Seth Rollins comes out with a crutch. He drops it to show he can walk just fine and rushes the ring. They trade punches and Rollins gets the upper hand. He hits a hard kick to the gut before sending Hunter out of the ring with a running kick to the head.

Triple H picks up the crutch Rollins dropped and runs back to the ring. Rollins gets in the first few shots, but Triple H gets him in the knee with

the crutch. Trips takes off his jacket before continuing to assault the bad leg. He uses a reverse Figure Four and Rollins screams in pain as several officials pull them apart. Seth is able to stand up, only to take another shot from the crutch to the bad knee. The show ends with Triple H and Stephanie looking smug while Rollins is looked at by officials.

Rating 80/80

The show was better then last week and had some great matches and promos as we look closer to WM33 and the ending was pretty great other than Seth probably hurt his knee more and I hope not for WM33.

Jericho says he screwed Kevin Owens out of the WWE Universal title last night at WWE Fastlane. Goldberg can thank him for that later. Owens had it coming. During the Festival of Friendship Owens took a knife to the heart of Jericho… and stuck it in man. Jericho says he needs answers. Why did Owens do that to him? Owens comes out on the ramp. Owens says that after what Jericho did to him last night he doesn’t owe Jericho anything. Jericho yells at Owens to answer the question. Jericho says he has been in the hospital for three weeks. He is hurt and betrayed. Owens asks Jericho if he really wants to know why he stabbed his best friend in the back. Jericho says yes. Owens says he didn’t stab his best friend in the back. Jericho was never his best friend. Sami Zayn was his best friend. Owens stabbed him in the back and he would do it over and over again. Jericho was just a tool.
Owens says he used Jericho because the night he won the Universal title Triple H told him that everyone is going to be gunning for him. Owens knew he needs someone to watch his back. That person had to have been there before and had to be someone he could trust.
Jericho says Owens is wrong. The biggest mistake he has made was trusting Owens. Years ago, Jericho would have done exactly what Owens did, but he would have done it first and he would have done it better. Jericho says he was complacent and liked the idea of having a friend. Jericho says he has friends. He is surrounded by them he has the friends of Jericho, cheer him on, maaaan! The crowd goes nuts. Costing Owens the Universal title was just the start of this. What happened at Fastlane was just the start of a winding road that leads to Owens vs Jericho at WreslteMania. Owens says he doesn’t give a damn what the people want. After last night you would think all that Owens would be concerned with winning the Universal title back, but Owens has a Universal title shot whenever he wants. That said, Owens will face Jericho at WreslteMania only if Jericho puts the United States title on the line. Jericho says done. Jericho says WreslteMania is about a month away and there is no reason to wait. Owens runs to the ring. Jericho and Owens brawl. Samoa Joe appears out of nowhere and attacks Jericho from behind. Sami Zayn hits the ring with a steel chair.

To everyone who overlooked him and doubted him, look at him now. Neville holds the belt up over his head. Neville adds that he has laid waste to pretender after pretender. A loud what chant breaks out. Neville goes on to say there is no one on 205 Live that can hold a candle to him. Aries says he thinks the people can’t hear Neville. Aries asks Neville if he is sure he can’t think of anyone who can compete with him. The crowd starts to scream “Austin Aries” again. Aries says it seems the WWE Universe would disagree with Neville. Neville says Aries can not be seriously be considering himself. There is no way Aries is on his level. Neville tells Aries to go back to the announce booth before he re-breaks Aries orbital socket. Aries says he is just trying to do his job. Aries says he just as one more question for Neville. Well, it isn’t a question, it’s more of a statement. Aries hits Neville in the head with the microphone. Aries hits the ropes and obliterates Neville with a roarin elbow.


Goldberg says the Universal title belongs to the fans just as much as it does to him. He stands before us tonight as a humble man. Goldberg says he is going to tell us something he never thought he would make public. The crowd chants CM Punk. Goldberg says he hears that. Before Goldberg can go on Paul Heyman comes out. Heyman says the WWE Universe should not confuse him as someone who could walk to the ring and offer Goldberg a handshake to congratulate him on his victory. No, Heyman did not come alone. Heyman calls out his client, Brock Lesnar. Lesnar walks down the ramp and gets in Goldberg’s face. Heyman says the only person that may be happier than Goldberg about Goldberg winning the title is Lesnar. Lesnar is going to shake Goldberg’s hand because Goldberg is every bit of a beast as Lesnar. Heyman says he doesn’t make predictions, he makes spoilers. At WrestleMania, there will be a new WWE Universal champion and that will be Brock Lesnar. as Goldberg leaves, Goldberg turns and looks at Heyman. Lesnar picks up Goldberg and hits the F5
