We start RAW with BAYLEY! Yay! Bayley says she loves this time of the year, and it gives her butterflies. This year, she is not at home with her friends – she is in Wrestlemania! She knows she is defending her title in an elimination match. Thats news. Interesting.

This is short lived and Charlotte is here. She calls Bayley a paper champion. She tells Bayley to get her mind out of the clouds. The boss has made Bayley her pawn. When she beat Sasha, she came out of the title picture. Sasha found a way back in. If it wasn’t for Sasha, then Charlotte would still be champ. She almost respects Sasha for being so clever, but Charlotte isn’t even that cruel. There are a few things legit left about The Boss, but one isn’t their friendship. Charlotte wil be the 5 time women’s champion. Bayley will have no friends, no title, no future. Bayley doesn’t believe anything that Charlotte is saying. We then show a tweet from Sasha from a long time ago, of Sasha trweeting about keeping friends close and enemies closer. Sasha is waiting to stab her in her back.

Sasha Banks is here! Yay! Sasha says she hears this every single week. What is this, 2015? Sasha must be out of her mind. Sasha knows what Charlotte is doing, but her and Bayley are big girls. Business is business. Sasha will take care of business. Sasha says she will beat Bayley. Bayley is shocked then Nia Jax’s music hits up.

Nia is out, calls all three of these girls out. Nia calls them all cute, says they trade the title back and forth, thren call it pathetic. This Sunday, Nia will eliminate each and every one of them. Charlotte tells Nia that the only reason Nia is in the match is because Sasha didn’t have to pretend to care aboutBayley anymore.

MELEE!!! Nia attacks Bayley. Sasha attacks Charlotte. They all lock up.

Hey guys, I missed the tag match due to an emergency, but returned just as Nia knocks Sasha and Bayley down and grabs the title, hoisting it in the air.

We are backstage with Charley and Sami. The Andre the Giant Statue is nearby for some reason. Charley brings up Foley, asking how Sami feels about him being fired. Sami says it’ll take getting used to. Now that mick is gone, we must honor his legacy and message. Before Foley left, it’s Sami’s job to continue to stand up, so Sami is putting himself in the Battle Royal. He is dedicating this match to Foley.

In comes Steph, saying she heard Sami insert himself in the match, but things are different. Steph says he will have to earn his way. Tonight, he can do so, but he will have to win his NO DQ match against Kevin Owens, and if he cannot win, he’ll be fired.

Neville is sitting alongside Cole and Co. When Aries comes out, he stares down Neville a bit.

Match 2: Austin Aries vs Noam Dar (w/ Alicia Fox)
Aries with a surprise running dropkick to Dar in the corner! Dar rolls out of the ring as Aries celebrates. Back from a break, and Dar whips Aries into the corner. He rushes with a right hand then rolls Aries into a pin for 1. Noam grabs the head and cinches it in his hands. Aries with an elbow. Another. Noam with right hands but Aries kicks out of the corner.

Earlier tonight there was an old school cemetery video teasing The Undertaker. Just now, we get a few glimpes of a man’s feet walking across the ground of a cemetery.

Back in the arena, Seth Rollins heads out on a crutch. He heads to the ring where there is a table and two chairs set up. Seth calls out Triple H

Triple H is out. He wants Seth to understand something; that if Seth attacks H, then he will defend himself and it won’t go well for Seth. Two, if Seth attacks, the Mania match is off. Triple H will explain all of the rights Seth is giving away and Seth will sign it. He will then get his match at Mania, but until then – he gets nothing.

Seth tells TRiple H he’s listened to him long enough and to get in the ring. H tells him to sit down in the chair and listen to HHHim. He says listening to the crowd is a bad decision, and demands Seth sits in the chair.

Seth doesn’t sit, so Triple H says fine, the match is off, and makes to leave the ring. Seth sits down, and Triple H calls him a “good boy.” Triple H wants Seth to understand what it means for him to sign this contract – he is giving up all his rights. It means that when Triple H takes that crutch, he wraps it around Seth’s knee, and Seth feels pain, well Triple H will not stop. He will keep going until he destroys what he created. Signing this document means Seth can’t sue anyone for when Triple H ends his career. Seth is giving up all of his rights.

Seth gets it and tells Triple H to sign the contract and hand it over. Triple H says Seth made a smart business decision, and yet now he has some moral delimma. Why is success a bad thing? Why? Because of jealousy. That’s all it is. If Seth isn’t making enemies, he ain’t making money. At least Seth sleeps well? Who has time? Triple H would rather eat well than sleep well. Seth gets one round in this world. You take what you can and you screw everyone else. Period. But if Seth wants to grow a conscience and do all that, he can head back to the halls and legions and wrestle for 100 people. He will sign it, and Seth will sign it too, but understand that Seth is the one-legged man in the ass-kicking contest. There has never been a one-legged man to win an ass-kicking contest. EVER! Seth will not be the first. Seth signs it, and he goes to Mania. He will not be walking out, though.

Seth says this is the same line of bullcrap he bought into three years ago. He will explain something – when you are out rehabbing, with a lot of time to think, you gain perspective, and Seth learned that he liked himself before he met Triple H. He was proud of himself. He didn’t mind wrestling for a hot dog and a hand shake. It didn’t bother him. He loves this business. Sure, when they got together, they accomplished a lot. What did Seth give up? This isn’t about money or power, it’s not even about one match at Mania.

Seth stands up.

This is about redemption. This isn’t about revenge. It’s about redemption. Seth gave up everything to stand next to Triple H, and for what? At Mania, Triple H better be prepared to tear Seth’s leg off his body and beat him with it, becuase nothing will stop him from tearing Triple H apart and getting back what he wants most in his life – who he was before he met TRiple H. Getting back Seth Freakin Rollins.

Triple H grabs the contract. He then kicks the table INTO Seth’s knee! He then goes around to the other side and kicks Seth directly in the knee. Triple H gets ready to beat some ass. He removes the tie and unbuckles the cuff links. Triple H grabs the crutch. He stands above Seth. Seth stands. Triple H is about to attack, but Rollins hits a surprise Enziguri! Kick to Seth, and Rollins looks for a Pedigree! But no, Triple H clips the knee! Triple H with a pedi—NO!!! Seth sends Triple H over the top rope to the outside! Triple H rushes back IN the ring, but Seth has the crutch! One hard hit across the baxck, and Triple H escapes angrily.

Match 3: Over the Top Rope Challenge
The Big Show vs Los Jobbers

Show starts with Jinder, tosses him over. Next is Bo Dallas, and Show sends him over. Shooting Stars head out together only for Show to send both of them over after some fight. Goldust and Curtis Axel and R-Truth are in next, and all three attack him. Bo and The Shining Stars are all back in the ring. Jinder too. They ALL work together to send Show over the top rope, and now he’s eliminated…I guess?

Show gets super pissed, and he heads back in thee ring. He shoves everyone away, chokeslams Jinder, KO Punches Bo, chokeslams Axel, gets a double chokeslam to The Shining Stars, then scares Truth and Goldy out of the ring. Show stands tall amongst the fallen fools.

The Big Show’s music hits…until BRAUN announces his presence.

He has a mic.

Braun says that if he wanted to, he’d come down and kick Show’s ass right now. But that’s what everyone wants, and he does what he wants. They will have to wait till Mania. Show tries to convince him to come down the ramp, but Straun ain’t down.

Winner: Nobody
Nice to see there’s a favorite or two…

They couldn’t keep their mouth shut last week, and Gallows calls them really stupid. They mock the “Cant teach that” thing. They say they’ll still be champions after Mania.

Back to The Undertaker at the farm. He’s digging ow.

Man, if this is Reigns…..

Speaking of Reigns…he’s backstage with CHARLEY. She brings up the videos, and wants Reigns reaction. Reigns says he’s a grown man. He doesn’t worry about mind games and doesn’t believe in dead men. He believes in The Big Fight. He’s going to the ring to tell the whole world what he’s going to do to Taker at Mania.

Video of New Day bouncin all around New York and Philly.

Backstage, Cesaro and Sheamus are talking to Dude. Cesaro don’t care about the odds. He missed last year’s Mania, and he won’t miss this year. Sheamus says they’re doing this for Foley and just as he’s about to get into his promo, Gallows and Anderson attack! Anderson has a 2×4 and cracks Cesaro. They grab a ladder and shove it into Sheamus, then attack Cesaro with it as well, and walk away.

Match 4: Neville vs Jack Gallagher
Gallagher wants a handshake, but Neville walks away. Bell rings and we get a lockup. Nevilel is stronger and sends him against the ropes. Ref breaks it up. They circle each other. Lockup again, and Neville gets a side headlock into a takedown and a pin for 1. NO! Gallagher with a nice escape. Neville backs him up into the corner, then shoves him to the opposite. Gallagher with the head stand, he flips over NEville and gets a rollup for 1..2..NO! Whip and shoulder tackle by Gallagher. Neville kipups out of it. He hits a shoulder tackle. Catches the legs, gets tossed by Gallagher, then hits a surprise SNAP GERMAN SUPLEX! Fucking beautiful.

Back after a break, and Neville hits a spin kick to Gallagher. Neville hits the ropes and Gallagher rushes him with a huge freakin Headbutt! Jesus. Neville rolls to the outside. Gallagher grabs an umbrella! He opens it and hops to the top rope! Gallagher flies and hits a senton onto Neville! Neville rolls back into the ring. Superkick to Gallagher.

Aries is backstage. He has a news report. He has a guest…The New Day! He wants to ask them who they think will win the match. Neville says a man’s success in the ring is determined by their ability to move those hips. So they ask Aries to move the hips. Aries removes his glasses. He’s trying to be serious. Aries rephrases. At Mania, who will be “YOUR……W! W! E! Cruiserweight Champion!” Aries does the hips thing. Neville is in the ring, bothered. Aries says he’ll see Neville at Mania.

Roman Reigns is walking slowly backstage.

Smell the intrigue.

After a commercial break, Reigns is ready to head to the ring. His music hits, and he makes his slow walk to the ring.

Reigns allows some chick with a nice rack cheer him. He then speaks of the Rumble right there in Philly where he won, then went on to headline Mania…twice. Boos from the crowd. He thought these were the biggest moments of his caeer, but he was wrong. This year, he faces The Undertaker. He is going to do what no man has ever done before him. He is going to put The Deadman down. Um….

Reigns says this with all due respect; He doesn’t care if you’re Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, or John Cena or even The Undertaker. This is her time now, and this is his house now. This is his yard.

The Undertaker takes offense, and he is on the big screen. it was him digging. This hole is for Roman. At Mania, the Roman Empire will fall. The ultimate thrill ride will be your last ride. At Wrestlemania, Roman will……

The lights go out, the gong hits. The lights are back on, and Taker is in the ring behind Roman!

Enough of this hoolabaloo, Enzo and Cass are here!

They’re here to talk about some stuff that can’t be taught!

Enzo gets some love from the crowd. He has a little information for us. This Sunday, they’re walking out of Orlando with gold around their waists. That’s partially due to the fact that they always pratice what they preach. Cass wants to talk about practice? Not a match. Practice. No, when it’s go time and game time, they don’t wait in line, they cross the line. Enzo says they got a Fast Pass to the ultimate thrill ride – Wrestlemania. Cass tells Gallows and Anderson that their bald heads are about to get burnt, cuz it’s Always Sunny in Philidelphia.

Gallows and Anderson cut off the spelling bee just in time. They do their little Too Sweet thing at the top of the ramp, when, from behind, Sheamus and Cesaro attack with a ladder!!!

They rush the ring and meet up with Enzo and Cass!! Cesaro take care of Enzo then run in the ring to attack Cass. Sheamus and Cesaro try to use the ladder, but Cass escapes and grabs the ladder! He attacks Sheamus and Cesaro! Anderson and Gallows head in the ring and attack. They grab the ladder now and smack Cass with it. Anderson and Gallows then see Cesaro on the apron. They hit him with the ladder. Enzo is up on the top rope! But Anderson and Gallows shove the ladder into his face, and he goes flying! Ouch!

Owens goes to attack Sami, but Jericho is here to smack him with a chair a few times. Joe pulls Owens back up the ramp.

Heyman is here with his dude, Brock. Heyman does his usual schtick then says that the holy grail of the WWE is the Universal Title. It is the ONE centerpiece of the flagship show of the WWE. Let this spell it out for all of us, and even someone like Goldberg. Brock Lesnar wants that title. Needs that title. Goldberg has that title. So many others have tried and not just anyone. Sting! The Icon, Sting. Sting fell short. Goldberg rose to the occasion with dominance. Goldberg is truly the man, but Brock Lesnar is The Beast! This Beast is going to chew him up and spit him out at Mania, because really really bad things happen to Authentic Superheroes who are legit bad asses when they step into the ring with Brock Lesnar. So, how does it all end? Allow Heyman to elucidate. We need a reason to subscribe, to buy the PPV, right? He’ll give us a reason…..Billlllll, this Sunday at Mania, he is going to Suplex City where Goldbergs check in…but they don’t check out. Heyman calls Wrestlemania Death of a Superhero then reads Goldberg his last rites ala Jewish folk. This Sunday, Goldberg cannot survive the F5.

Goldberg makes his way out. He said that people didn’t come here to hear them talk, they came to see them fight. So how about they bring a bit of Mania to Philly. Brock gets out of the ring, gets ready to run up the ramp. SPEAR!!!!!!!

Well shit.

See ya at Mania!
