__________________________

  • AJ Styles mocked Daniel Bryan for firing him the previous week only for that to be immediately overturned by Shane McMahon. Bryan warned AJ that he has no idea what he is in for. AJ went to the ring and taunted Shane, saying that he accepted his challenge and was in a great mood because he was gonna be on Wrestlemania AND kick Shane's rear end.

  • Baron Corbin was looking for Dean Ambrose but Daniel Bryan hadn't seen him all night. Corbin decided to take the night off but an irritated Bryan booked him in a match with Randy Orton.

  • The Usos beat American Alpha for the Tag Team Titles in a match that built to a fantastic ending. The momentum shifted multiple times but in the end the Usos were able to sneak in a crotch shot on Jordan while the ref's view was obscured, hit a superkick and score the pinfall.

  • AJ was waiting in the parking garage for Shane to arrive.

  • Luke Harper did a promo warning Randy Orton that he had freed a greater evil to roam the Earth when he burned down Bray's spooky shed. Harper vowed to destroy that greater evil next week.

  • The Miz and Maryse did a parody of Total Bellas. It was very good :)

  • Randy Orton beat Baron Corbin after Corbin was distracted by Dean Ambrose balancing on a forklift. Ambrose came to the ring, accepted Corbin's challenge for the IC Title at Wrestlemania then hit him with the Dirty Deeds and left.

  • Orton did a backstage promo where he commented on Bray's promo the previous week being "unexpected". The lights flickered and when they came back on, Orton was surrounded by thug in sheep masks and overalls. Randy tried to fight his way out but was restrained, and Bray showed up and thanked Randy for purging the one weakness he had. He sang,"He's got the whole world in his hands."

  • Fandango vs John Cena. Tyler Breeze came out dressed as Nikki Bella complete with booty swing. Cena brought Nikki out to ringside after Fandango introduced Tyler as his Muscle, and she speared Breeze when he tried to interfere. Cena and Nikki gave Fandango and Tyler stereo AAs and STFs and Cena got the win.

  • AJ was still in the garage, pissed off that Shane McMahon STILL hadn't arrived.

  • Becky vs Carmella turned into a multi-woman brawl when Nattie attacked Carmen and then Mickie and Alexa rushed in. Ellsworth got taken out by Becky. Alexa ended up standing tall over everybody else.

  • Miz and Maryse did another Total Bellas parody where "Cena" kept seemingly setting up to propose to Nikki but not doing it.

  • AJ thought Shane had arrived at last but it turned out to be Rhyno and Heath Slater. Shane came to the ring, having apparently arrived unseen.

  • Shane did a promo with a very tepid response, and called out AJ to either face him right now in the ring or he'd come get him. AJ made a long walk out, got a mic and apologized, saying that he was in a bad place when he attacked him. He offered to shake Shane's hand and apologize, but as soon as he got in the ring Shane attacked him. AJ quickly got the upper hand but Shane managed to suplex AJ before he could be put through the announce table. Shane hit a top rope elbow on AJ (kinda) through the announce table, then kneeled over AJ's body and pointed at the Wrestlemania sign.

Raw was bad but I can't remember the last time an "unsanctioned" match wasn't good as heck so maybe that'll bode well for HHH and Rollins?

I mean I don't know if he actually injured himself, but he clearly grimaced and looked like he was in a lot of pain, then looked like poo poo when he was going to set himself up for the spear. He's obviously hurting bigtime

Seth Rollins vs. Not-In-The-Main-Event-Triple-H was always gonna be a good match but yes I'm intrigued by this new wrinkle.

The build for Roman vs. Taker sucks a lot and the match is gonna be a disaster, but at least I'm not depressed that we're not getting Cena vs. Taker anymore. Maybe Taker will heal up in a year and they can do Cena/Taker at WM34. Either way though, he should'va just sat this one out.

I'M APPARENTLY GAY AND MY POSTING SUCKS.
Looks like a good time to have Undertaker compete in a triple threat at a Wrestlemania, let Roman and Braun do all the work.

So far, looks like Smackdown is going to be Wrestlemania's saving grace, because everything Raw is garbage. Except Jericho vs Owens.

I think he's saying that he made an exasperated face because he realized he turned his back to Roman and knew a spear was coming. I guess that could be true too.

He almost felt down with Braun and he took the spear on his side.

Raw has JeriKO, Women's match, the tag match (which is a match with Cesaro and will be good), Aries vs. Neville.

SmackDown has Randy vs. Bray, AJ Styles throwing Shane off something and Cena proposing to Miz.

It's more even than you might think.

He was def. selling that he made a mistake turning his back. Maybe he's hurt too, who knows, but the look/head-shake was very intentionally that 'amateur mistake' thingy.

Also I watched it again and I think Taker is fine. I see what you guys mean but it didn't look like a wince of pain at all in the actual action of it all. Like if you took a screencap sure but in motion it really did look like "gently caress he's behind me isn't he?"

Taker should have just kept his back to Roman. You never get speared from behind.

Why did Braun attack Taker?
