What a surprise! We start with Wyatts! He cuts a promo for a few short minutes that I miss, and I’m terribly sorry, but he is essentially saying he won last night and the nightmare is not over.

Reigns says this isn’t just about him; it’s about Reigns and Bray Wyatt. It’s always been about both of them. It started here, so he says they finish it here. He tells Wyatt to send the big dudes back to the swamp and see who makes it out of Laredo tonight. Wyatt says that he’s given Reigns enough chances. Reigns says he’s scared. Reigns says there needn’t be a ref, or a match, let’s just have a fight. Wyatt whispers in the ear of Harper and Braun. He shoves them away and readies for a fight. The big guy leaves the ring.

Recap of last night’s matches, focusing on Seth’s loss of the US Title, his win against Sting, and Kane’s return.

Backstage, Seth Rollins stands outside The Authority’s door. He struggles a bit, then walks in and is ready to talk to both of them. Only, he walks in on the return of…the Director of Operations, Kane. He turns with a smile, says sorry he didn’t hear the knock. He is not wearing a mask, and is suited up. Seth wants to know what he’s doing there. Seth brings up last night, but Kane doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He has been recuperating since his broken ankle. Seth says he’s been meaning to apologize. Kane says it’s ok, he would have done the same. He’s back at work as DOO and is super excited. Seth didn’t get the e mail? Seth asks where HHH and DD’s at. Kane says they are not there yet. Kane says that tonight, Seth will get his rematch against John Cena for his title. Kane is all smiles as Seth leaves.

Rating: **

Seth is backstage, and The Authority is finally here. He wants to know where they have been, and he can’t believe that they reinstated Kane. Steph and HHH both look confused. Seth brings up Kane invoking the rematch, and his backstage antics, including mug. Seth says he’s not in any condition for a rematch. Triple H tells Seth to relax. If what Seth is saying is true, and Seth has a rematch tonight with Cena, then he has an opportunity to get his title back, and he should just focus on that. Steph says yes, this is a big opportunity. Seth should worry about Cena, while Steph and H will worry about Kane. Seth says ok then heads off.

Steph looks to H as if they had no clue what’s going on…

Photo stills of Owens vs Ryback, and they spotlight the rake of the eyes, complete with Cole saying “it appears” that Owens raked the eyes, even though last night he blatantly made the call. Idiot.

Ryback is here with another monologue brought to you by The Secret.

Before the match, Owens makes his way out with his glorious title. Owens is joining commentary tonight, and it should be relatively short.

Bo Dallas on the mic. He congratulates Owens on the win. He then turns to Ryback and says he didn’t lose the title because he didn’t Bo-lieved. No, he Bo-lieved he was better than Kevin Owens, and he never will be…Bo-lieve him.

Back to the show, and Ric Flair is here! He’s getting mic time, so be prepared! He wants ot know if he looks like a happy, proud father. Has he had fun in Laredo, TX before? He calls out 1972, specifically. He brings up a particular time in a man’s life, then thanks the crowd for thanking him. He says there are times that things are so special, he has no idea what to say. Like the first time stepping through the curtain, or look at 10,000 people. Or when you fall in love, once, twice, maybe four times. Make no mistake though, the proudest moment of his entire life is not his World Championship win, or his match with Shawn Michaels when he retired. The proudest moment of his wrestling career was last night when his little girl won the Divas Championship. He didn’t give it to her, she didn’t give it because of him. She paid the price, she bled, sweat, cried. She beat a great champion. He wants everyone to please welcome his little girl, the Divas Champion…Charlotte!

Flair opens the ropes for his champion daughter. Charlotte grabs the mic. They WOO together. The belt looks good on her. Charlotte says she must compose herself because she and her dad tend to cry when they are in the ring together. Flair starts with the waterworks. Charlotte remembers when she was a little girl and realizing she wanted to be like Flair when she grew up. She always thought Flair was the best, and if she can make him half as proud of her as she is of him, then she will be proud. She loves him very much. They hug it out. Charlotte turns her attention to Paige and Becky. Since the Divas Revolution started, teaming with them has literally been a dream of hers. Since day 1, all she wanted was to win this title, but in the process, she got two best friends. Becky is her protein sister. Charlotte reminds her not to be so serious all the time, thanks. Paige…Charlotte says that they started at NXT together. Paige was the FIRST NXT Women’s Champion. She has followed in Paige’s footsteps ever since. Paigew ants to talk, but Charlotte isn’t done. Charlotte wanted to be where Paige was, and she is here today because she wanted to be just like Paige.

Paige says this is always so nice, and Charlotte won the title. This entire celebration is for Charlotte…but let’s just think about who really made this possible….PAIGE.

“Shut up, Becky!” hahaha. Paige says this is patronizing. Charlotte sounds like she just was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Yes, Charlotte won it, so what. She won it on her first day, and here’s a little secret…title reigns end. Nikki is going to get her rematch, and her hippy sister, and her third wheel, and the title will go back right where it was. There is no revolution. Charlotte is just a placeholder. Paige tells Becky to back off. She says Becky will never be champion because she is the least relevant of all of them. What about TEAM BAD. ALL FLASH, NO SUBSTANCE. What about Lana and Summer? They’re too busy trying to figure out who they want to jump. And where’s Nattie?! ANd let’s go to the Bellas…we all know the real reason why they’re at the top. WE ALL KNOW.

Paige says that the only reason Charlotte has the title is because og her old man. WHOOO. Paige drops the mic and heads to the back. She screams that this is her house, first.

The Bellas are here. They call Paige trashy, classless. She welcomes Charlotte to her world. When you succeed and are on top, everyone turns their back on you. Can Charlotte handle it? Bella wants to know if Charlotte thinks it gets any easier. Starting tonight, it won’t be any easier, because she is going to lose to Brie Bella, and one more thing…when they have their rematch, Charlotte will lose the title, too. Good luck.

ugh.

Match 4: Charlotte vs Brie Bella
Back to a match in progress. Charlotte is dropped down into the steel steps. Brie, on the apron, taunts Charlotte. Charlotte heads back in the ring and hits a shoulder to the abs of Brie. Brie sends Charlotte into the corner with a shoulder tackle. Another. One more. Brie works the left leg again, then kick the thigh. Brie drives the knee into the thigh a few times. Leg drag from Brie who goes for work on the leg only, it looks silly. She drives a knee to the back of the knee of Charlotte and twists the ankle. Kicks from Charlotte as she tries to break it. Brie with another kick to the back of the thigh. She keeps attacking then taunts the crowd. Dropkick to Charlotte. She wraps the leg around the bottom rope. Brie Mode engaged. She drives the knee into the leg. Brie wants one more. She runs, hits a knee to the leg one more time. Cover for 1..2..NO! Summer is up.

He goes for the beatdown, but Henry blocks at the three count and pulls on the beard of Sheanus. He tosses Sheanus in over the top rope. Sheanus with a Brogue Kick that barely hits Henry.

Sheanus at the top of the stage. He says we can chant all we want, because as far as he is concerned, he is the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. It’s just a matter of time.

Backstage, Triple H and Steph meet up with Kane. They say it’s such asurprise seeing him here. H says regarding work. Kane wonders if they are upset with him. He wanted to have an impact on his first night back. H says no, that’s great, it’s huge and awesome. H says that they haven’t heard from Kane since he got hurt and just showed up last night. Kane questions this. Steph says if Kane wants to play mindgames with Seth, that’s fine, but don’t insult their intelligence. Kane says he would never do that, he loves his job too much. He wants to do what’s best for business, and he knows they want the same thing. Steph says there is a way for them three to get along here. They will all three move forward. Steph holds her hand out and says that she needs him to give it back. Kane high fives her. Steph says she wants the mask back. Kane is all smiles. She wants the mask. Kane sees the box. “Oh my gosh, it’s gone!” Kane says the last time he saw the mask was when he gave it to Steph. And if she lost it, he could see that there would be…a…big problem. BUT if he’ll look for it, and if he finds it, they’ll be the first to know.

Backstage, Paige and her boobs are heelin it up. She says “oh, you do still work here.” Nattie is in the scene. Paige says that she guesses Nattie is here to tell her what she did wrong out there. Nattie said no, if there is anyone that needs to lash out, she gets it, but how Paige acted was really unprofessional. That was Charlotte’s moment. Imagine if someone Paige respected interrupted Paige’s celebration. Paige asks Nattie where has she been hiding. Nattie says that she works here still and she has a match later tonight. She tells Paige, as a friend, that the only person standing in Paige’s way is Paige.

Change gears to awesomeness.

Woods gloriously sells the injury from last night.

Woods holds up an evidence back of sorts. Woods is near tears. He says that last night, after The Dudley Boyz put him through a table, the WWE medical team had to remove this piece of wood from his buttocks. Kofi says Woods ain’t right. How many more people must suffer before we say Enough is Enough. Dudleys are a menace to society, and they must be stopped. Big E says they must build a wall around Dudleyville. We must build a strong wall, a high wall, a great wall, a beautiful wall – to protect us, our laws, our values, and our furniture. Woods says a wall to keep those Dudleys away from them and their tables. Everyone here has a voice, says Kofi. This means everyone can help, and together, they can make WWE great again.

Big Show gets some mic time. He wants showers of boos, and the crowd obliges. Show points down to Cesaro, and says this is a message for Brock Lesnar. He says that this is going to be Brock. He wants to refresh Brock’s memory; he is the greatest giant this business has ever seen. Survivor Series 2002, Brock was the next big thing, no one could pin Lesnar…but Show did. He also took the WWE Championship from him. Brock knows Show can’t stand him, so he hopes right now that – SUPLEX CITY – Show says there’s no way his big ass is going to Suplex City. Not happenin. What’s gonna happen is Brock will sit at home thinkin Big Show won’t be a big challenge. He has been in this business as long as he has is because he is a threat every time he enters the ring. When he hits Brock with the KO Punch, Brock will think he’s in Hell when he’s done with him.

Did…did we just get a backstage shot of John Cena kissing dog tags?

Cena leaves the ring. Kane is on the TitanTron. He says that since it’s his first night back, he advises Seth to be the best champ he can be. There are people that are after his title, people that Seth wouldn’t even imagine…in his worst nightmares.

Seth holds a finger up to the screen, then flames hit, and the red lights come on. Kane comes from a hole in the ring and tries to drag Seth down into hell!!! Kane leaves the hole and atacks Seth. He kicks him then drags him back down through the hole. Seth tries to escape, but Kane keeps pulling. Seth falls deeper into the hole, until a hand comes up and drags him down by the head. The four pillars light up, and a big puff of fog comes from the hole.

End Show.
