This means The Phenomenal One will go one-on-one with LA Knight next week in a WrestleMania rematch!

AJ clubs away at Kevin and puts him on the ropes. Owens fights back and Rey sends AJ to the floor. Rey then meets Owens at the ropes and attempts a superplex, but Kevin counters it with his beautiful superplex reversal! This one is over, 1, 2, NO! AJ breaks it up before it can end. All three men are in the ring and this is very fun.

AJ goes for a moonsault but eats a superkick from Owens. Owens goes for a pop up, but AJ hits a Pele Kick! He goes for the Styles Clash but Rey soars with a beautiful crossbody. Mysterio and AJ fight but it eventually leads to a triple stack German Suplex and all three men are down! "This is awesome" chants then echo and the crowd goes wild.

After the break, all three men are in the ring clubbing. Owens is sent to the floor and AJ eats a boot. Kevin rolls back in and they hit a cool spot leading to a Tornado DDT. Rey goes for a moonsault on AJ, but gets caught, only to turn it into another Tornado DDT. Very fun.

Rey baseball slides Owens to the floor. AJ then charges but gets dropped on the second rope. Rey goes for the 619 but AJ catches it! He hits a neckbreaker variation and then slams KO face-first for a nearfall. This is a fun match.

Kevin Owens and AJ Styles start fighting. Owens chops AJ and then drops him on the barricade. From there, Kevin hits a running cannonball against the barricade. Once he gets up, he is hit by a running seated senton from Rey's apron.

We go to what is presumably the final commercial break of the show. Owens channeled DX by telling AJ to "suck it" and crotch-chopping him before the cannonball. That's fun.

Kevin Owens complains about waiting for minutes when AJ Styles' music hits. The new theme is a lot to get used to. He makes his way out and Kevin doesn't seem impressed. Rey Mysterio then comes out with the Latino World Order, although they stop at the ramp and let him do this alone.

AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens vs. Rey Mysterio

This one starts with chaos. Rey immediately hits a rana on AJ and Owens clotheslines AJ to the floor. Rey and Owens begin going at it. Then Rey is set to the floor but AJ catches him and drops Rey on the apron!

Three big matches announced for next week:

- The Street Profits vs. Legado del Fantasma vs. AOP vs. New Catch Republic.
- Bayley vs. Naomi.
- LA Knight vs. the winner of tonight's main event.

Kevin Owens heads to the ring to a big pop from the crowd. Loud "KO" chants can be heard. Owens will battle AJ Styles and Rey Mysterio in a Triple Threat Match. The winner will fight LA Knight for a shot at Cody Rhodes.

We then go to break before another RAW preview highlights Sami Zayn vs. Chad Gable and the return of Sheamus.

Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews Kevin Owens. Byron asks Kevin for any final thoughts. Kevin says yeah and brings up the cool camera shots recently. He takes the microphone and begins walking. He stops and finds a Tigers belt, says he likes Tigers and grabs it. He makes it clear he wants the WWE Championship. He jokes about AJ suffering PTSD from LA Knight's home invasion. Owens then calls Dirty Dom a huge disappointment and an idiot.

Owens says he respects both guys, but they're standing in his way, so he's going to beat them both. He then references Jamie Noble and Bruce Prichard before walking out.

Piper Niven tags in and calls for Jade Cargill to get the tag. The screen flickers—a possible tease for the new White Rabbit? Before Bianca can tag out, Piper attacks her and slams her. Piper then hits a cannonball in the corner. She goes for the Vader Bomb, but Bianca moves. Piper tags out, and so does Bianca.

Chelsea charges for a kick but gets slammed. She then gets kicked and eats the Jaded. This one is over.

Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair defeat Chelsea Green and Piper Niven via pinfall.

Jade Cargill gets a big reaction from the fans for her epic entrance. Her partner is then revealed to be Bianca Belair, who gets a big ovation from the crowd.

Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair vs. Chelsea Green and Piper Niven

This one should be fun, but there's no doubting who will win. Immediately, Chelsea charges at Bianca and eats a Spinebuster.

Logan shouts out IShowSpeed and calls this the "Logan Paul-Levesque era," which is actually very funny. He is a good delusional heel.

Next up, Chelsea Green and Piper Niven show up! This is Piper's return after injury. A vignette is then shown of the two talking to Nick Aldis. Piper notes they want opportunity, and Chelsea takes shots at Adam Pearce.

Then Jade Cargill's music hits! Wow!

Following the commercial, WWE hypes up this being the 18th consecutive television sellout. That is wild. Business is booming, to say the least. Then another hype video airs for WrestleMania, this time with Sami Zayn dethroning Gunther. Then Logan Paul retained Randy Orton and Kevin Owens.

From there, we get a promo from Logan Paul filmed at home. He calls Orton a legend and Kevin Owens a Dunst. He then calls himself the real Legend Killer. Logan puts over how the business has boomed thanks to him.

From there, a vignette airs, hyping up A-Town Down Under. They brag about their WrestleMania win. They call themselves the greatest tag team champions of all time.

Backstage, The Steet Profits, New Catch Republic, and Nick Aldis are watching. They mention their new challengers will be determined next week.

After that, we go to commercials, including the OTM-Street Profits Snickers ad.

Tiffany might be busted open. Naomi goes for a waist lock but is kicked away. Tiffany then hits a double stomp. Naomi tries to counter something else but gets hit with an Alabama Slam. Tiffany tells Bayley to take notes and goes for the Prettiest Moonsault Ever, but Naomi counters it and hits a Jackknife pin! Naomi wins! Tiffany is no longer undefeated, wow!

Naomi defeats Tiffany Stratton via pinfall

Tiffany looks furious regarding her loss. Naomi now has earned a title shot!

Back from break, Tiffany is in control, but Naomi begins fighting back. Naomi hits a back elbow and goes for a kick. She then hits a running crossbody. Naomi follows it up with another. She ducks a clothesline and hits a Beautiful Disaster kick. Naomi fires the crowd up, though they seem split. She then hits a running dropkick in the corner and a handful of strikes.

Naomi hits a big kick for another nearfall as Bayley cheers her on ringside. Tiffany Stratton takes control, only to be leveled by a big knee from Naomi. Naomi hits a corner booty shake and boot before getting hung down on the ropes. Tiffany hits a big hip attack on the ropes and begins to stomp away at The Queen of Glow.

Tiffany goes for a few pinfall attempts, but it doesn't work. Naomi again starts fighting back, hitting a big kick. Naomi charges but is sent to the apron. She hits a big kick, but Tiffany slams Naomi's shoulder-first into the ring post as we go to break again.

Back from break, Kayla Braxton is outside the doctor and trainer's room. She says she was waiting for an update on Jimmy Uso. Paul Heyman walks out, and Kayla asks if Jimmy is okay and what happened there. Tama Tonga shows up, and Paul looks scared. Tama says, "by order of the Tribal Chief." Solo then shows up, looking at his thumb, and smirks. Heyman looks terrified. Paul asks, "What the hell does that mean?"

Naomi vs. Tiffany Stratton

This one is in action with Naomi in charge. She hits a special bulldog for a nearfall.

Tiffany says they were in the middle of something and mocks Naomi for having beaten her before. Naomi takes off her jacket and says it is the wrong night. Naomi admits Tiffany beat her before, but she's earned everything she's gotten in WWE, and she doesn't plan to stop now. She tells Bayley she can't accept the challenge yet because she needs to take on Tiffany immediately. The crowd seems into it!

Bayley requests a referee to come out, and he does as we go to break!

Bayley says she had someone else in mind, and this person is a legend. She says she had Naomi in mind. Tiffany says Naomi couldn't win a title if it glowed in the dark. This led to Naomi's music hitting, and she made her way out to the ring.

The Role Model says the fans have always been there for her and fighting for her. Bayley says she wants to start by giving a brand new opportunity only for Tiffany Stratton's music to hit!

Tiffany comes out with a microphone and says it was rude she wasn't given an opportunity at WrestleMania. She says Bayley seems to be building to an open challenge, and she accepts because, "It is Tiffy Time." The crowd cheers. Bayley says this is embarrassing, but she wasn't offering an open challenge.

Bayley says she will soak it in for a bit. She says she's proud to call herself the new WWE Undisputed Women's Champion. Bayley says this isn't her first time being the champion and that she's retained and lost titles at WrestleMania. She says this one is different. Bayley says it isn't different because she beat someone she used to call her friend, and it's not only different because she gets to call herself a champion in a new and exciting era. Bayley says this title represents the most talented locker room she's ever participated in.

She says it's most special for her because of the fans. Bayley jokes that it'll sound cheesy, and Michael Cole will make fun of her.

Back from break and AJ Styles is backstage. He says tonight isn't just another night. Tonight, AJ plans to fix what went wrong at WrestleMania. AJ says Rey Mysterio and Kevin Owens are in the way. AJ says LA Knight needs to take notes, as tonight is just a taste of what he'll do next week.

Then Bayley's music hits a big pop! She gets a special high-quality camera for her entrance, and it looks great. The crowd loudly chants, "You deserve it," and she thanks them. 'Bayley' chants start up next.

Bron is dominant, and commentary puts him over hard. Next, we get another WrestleMania recap, which includes Stephanie McMahon welcoming fans and talking about the Paul Levesque era. From there, we get a look at Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre, Damian Priest's cash-in, and Bayley defeating IYO SKY.

We then see Bayley walking backstage, and she'll be up next!

Cameron counters and puts on a headlock, but Bron's power is too much. He hits the ropes at a lightning-quick pace and hits the Steiner line. Breakker proceeds to repeatedly shoulder tackle Cameron in the corner. Grimes counters with a flurry of kicks but gets slammed when he attempts a top rope move. Breakker then hits the spear, and this one is over.

Bron Breakker defeats Cameron Grimes via pinfall

Back from break and we get a recap of what happened. Solo Sikoa took over The Bloodline, Tama Tonga debuted and joined the group, and Jimmy Uso was brutally kicked out. Fascinating stuff.

Next up, Cameron Grimes is in the ring. Bron Breakker's music hits! This should be interesting. Bron has a history of finishing opponents quickly and so does Cameron.

Bron Breakker vs. Cameron Grimes

Bron is ready to go. He takes the waist immediately and shows off his power.

Solo puts the finger up and makes Paul Heyman do it, too. Paul grabs his phone and says call Roman Reigns, but Solo takes it, rips it out of his hands, and stomps it! This is unbelievable!

Tama Tonga leaves the ring and grabs a chair. Paul Heyman screams that this isn't what The Tribal Chief wants, and Sikoa does the running hip attack on Jimmy in the corner using the chair. Solo and Tama then walk out as Paul Heyman looks terrified. What a segment.

It is revealed that Tama Tonga is the one attacking Jimmy Uso! The son of Haku and former NJPW star! Wow! Solo then repeatedly hits Jimmy with the Samoan Spike! Tama puts his one up as Paul Heyman is panicking.

Paul begins to hype Roman up, saying, like a phoenix, he'll rise; Solo then interrupts! He asked Paul if losing and winning matters. He says there are consequences to losing, right? Solo then said consequences need to change. Oh, man. He then orders Paul to move away and stares down Jimmy Uso. Jimmy is defensive and confused as Solo goes to attack him, but instead, Sikoa hugs him. What's going on?

Solo says, "You're my brother; I love you." Then, out of nowhere, Jimmy Uso gets attacked by a man in a hoodie!

Heyman mentions Seth Rollins, saying he'd be Cody's shield and that this was the one piece of unfinished business in Roman's career. Heyman mentions that after 10 years of waiting for revenge on Seth Rollins after The Shield betrayal, Roman gave in to temptation and was distracted by his lust for revenge. Paul says Cody was the one prepared this time.

Back from break, and we get another look back at WrestleMania last weekend. This includes Triple H welcoming fans, Damage CTRL vs. Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, and Naomi, and more. We then transition to the three Bloodline members in the ring. Heyman takes the mic.

He says they are taking accountability for what happened by order of The Tribal Chief. Paul says Roman has ordered them to accept accountability and not blame Undertaker, John Cena, or even Jey Uso. Heyman reflects on WrestleMania 39, where Cody lost. He says Cody was ill-prepared then. Paul says the script was flipped at WrestleMania 40.

Backstage, Kayla Braxton is with the Latino World Order. She asks Rey about Santos' loss, and Mysterio calls it karma. Kayla mentions Santos denying being responsible for Dragon Lee's attack.

The stable doesn't believe him and Carlito calls it cap. Rey says the truth always comes out. He then shifts focus to the Triple-Threat Match tonight. He reveals he believes he has another run left in him as WWE Champion.

After that, Solo Sikoa's music hits! He comes out with Jimmy Uso and Paul Heyman.

The Street Profits rush out to even the odds, but Elektra Lopez then runs in to interfere. B-Fab shows up and levels Lopez. Berto, Angel, and The Street Profits then fight to the floor.

Back in the ring, Lashley misses a spear and hits the ring post. Out of nowhere, LA Knight hit the BFT on Santos! This one is over!

LA Knight defeats Santos Escobar and Bobby Lashley via pinfall

Knight will face the winner of another Triple-Threat Match later to determine Cody Rhodes' first challenger.

LA Knight regains control and slams Santos down. He hits the LA Knight elbow, but Berto and Angel show up before he can do more! They attack LA Knight, which is No Disqualification, so they can. Santos, Angel, and Berto hit a Triple Powerbomb on Knight. Lashley then rushes in to attack Legado. They swarm him and begin to beat him down. This leads to The Street Profits and B-Fab rushing out! This is chaos!

Back from break and Bobby Lashley is in control. He throws Santos back into the ring, as we get some cool camera work zooming into the match. Lashley puts Santos on the ropes and climbs up for a superplex. Lashley is pushed down and LA Knight leaps up for a superplex, but Lashley comes over and powerbombs him while Santos gets superplexed for a tower of doom.

Santos kicks out. Next, LA Knight hits a crucifix driver, but it gets messy. It looked like a botch of some kind, but nobody seemed to get hurt, thankfully. From there, Santos kicks Knight and hits double knees to Lashley.

LA Knight pulls Bobby Lashley to the floor, and they begin fighting, but Santos rushes out of the ring and takes control. Just as he does that, we go to the second commercial break of the program.

In regards to Legado denying responsibility for the attack on Dragon Lee, could this be the start of Carlito's heel turn? This might have been a teaser.

We then go to an interview earlier today with the entire Legado Del Fantasma talking to Kayla Braxton. Santos and company deny having been the ones to attack Dragon Lee last week. That's interesting. Who did it?

LA Knight vs. Santos Escobar vs. Bobby Lashley

This one starts with brawling immediately, and Santos flees the ring. He gets on the apron, but Lashley throws him into the ring.

The crowd is still loudly chanting for LA Knight in the ring. Next, Bobby Lashley's music hits. He is joined on the stage with B-Fab, Angelo Dawkins, and Montez Ford.

They all pose together, but the three stablemates ultimately hang back and let Bobby go into this one alone.

Lastly, Legado Del Fantasma's music plays, and Santos Escobar walks out. Interestingly, he is on his own without Angel, Berto, or Elektra Lopez.

Back from break and RAW is promoted. Sami Zayn and Chad Gable will clash over the Intercontinental Championship, Sheamus will return, and more!

After that, we get another video highlighting WrestleMania, including an emphasis on Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg appearing.

That segment was definitely interesting. Once it ends, we see LA Knight come out to a huge pop. His Triple-Threat Match is next!

For now, though, we go to a commercial break.

From there, we see Bayley and the Latino World Order arriving.

We then transition to Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso, and Paul Heyman. They look on in amazement at Cody's locker room. Kevin Owens walks by and reveals they're not invited.

Solo Sikoa then says he'll take care of Owens, but Heyman says winning and losing matters, and there are consequences to it. Paul says if they want their locker room back, the title needs to come home to The Bloodline. Heyman says that's by order of the Tribal Chief. Interesting.

He says Kevin Owens thinks he's better than him. Cody says he and Kevin both think they're the better man. He transitions to the hot crowd and then says he's now the hunted instead of the hunter. Lastly, Rhodes tells the wrestlers that if they come for the king, they should not miss. He then says he was once undesirable, became undeniable, and is now the Undisputed WWE Champion.

Cody says it's time to look forward and discusses Backlash France. He talks about how he'll wrestle one of six stars. He brings up Santos Escobar, who gets booed, and Rey Mysterio, who gets cheers. LA Knight gets cheers and a "yeah." AJ Styles is brought up and gets boos. He mentions an interesting statistic: He and AJ are the only four men to be NWA and WWE Champions. Cody brings up Lashley next, who gets a mixed response but mostly cheers. Lastly, he mentions Kevin Owens, who gets a big pop, too. Cody calls him his friend.

Cody then quoted Brandi's infamous open mic night quote from AEW in regard to The Rock, which was funny. He apologized for cursing and then referenced whatever The Rock gave Cody. He then says The Rock won't have to look hard for Cody when he returns, as Cody will be right here.

Cody is clearly emotional from the positive reception. He then asks the golden question: what do you guys want to talk about? He mentions being interrupted by The Rock on RAW. "Rocky sucks" chants now.
