We are on the ROAD TO WRESTLEMANIA here in Cleveland. Michael Cole and Corey Graves welcome us to the show and talk about how Bron Breakker has a hernia and is out indefinitely.
“The Man” Becky Lynch is here to kick off the broadcast, coming down to whatever her theme song is now. She is holding the Women’s Intercontinental Title. She is tired of being disrespected. She originally wanted to address the injustice at the Royal Rumble but has been waylaid by the appearance of AJ Lee backstage. Sure enough, AJ’s theme plays and AJ Lee is here in Cleveland! Big pop and AJ skips to the ring. AJ is here to support Maxine who has a match tonight. AJ recaps all the ways she has screwed Becky. She can kinda see Becky’s point, Becky has gotten pretty mad. They discuss having a singles match. AJ says Becky is “one on” the greatest of all time. But if she beats Becky, does that make her better? AJ declares herself #1 contender for the IC belt. Becky does a rhythmic ‘no’ which prompts the crowd to do the Daniel Bryan NO chant. AJ says no title, no match, which gets Becky to agree. Looks like we have an IC title match set for Elimination Chamber in Chicago. Becky storms off and her random music plays.
Big Bronson Reed is backstage, followed by Austin Theory, Paul Heyman and then Logan Paul.
Then we cut to the Usos making Uso sounds. Jey’s music plays and the Usos enter the arena thru the crowd. They hold up the Raw Tag Titles.
World Tag Team Title Match
The Usos (Jimmy and Main Event Jey) (c) vs. The Alpha Academy (Otis and Tozawa)
But first we take a
Commercial Break
We are back and the Usos are still dancin’ to Jey’s music. Alpha Academy makes their entrance to a confused crowd. Otis and Jey start us off. Light action and Otis controls, chasing the Usos out of the ring. Usos regrouping on the floor and Otis picks up Tozawa and tosses him onto both Usos on the floor and we go to a
Commercial Break
Jey Uso and Tozawa in the ring as we are back and Tozawa hits a DDT sending both to the mat. Each looks for a tag. Both make a hot tag and Otis and Jimmy come into the ring. Otis takes out Jimmy and Jey who returns to the ring. Superkick by Jimmy but Otis no sells and continues taking out the Usos. Jey to the top, flies at Otis, who catches and slams Jey for a 2 count. Otis dominating, tag to Tozawa, who hits a big senton from the top for a two count on Jimmy. Tag back to Otis. Usos double team, hit a double spear on Otis. 1D on Otis for the cover and the pin.
Winners and STILL champs: The Usos
Byron Saxton comes into the ring to interview the Usos. He asks them whats next. Jey says YEET then complements the Alpha Academy. Jimmy cuts a brutal promo about being the best tag team in the game. He wants Jey to win the Elimination Chamber and get back to being Main Event Jey Uso.
Cole and Graves reset the show and talk about there being 68 days to Wrestlemania, and cut to a video package for Roman vs. Punk. Recap of their awesome promo battle from last week.
Liv Morgan comes out to her music accompanied by Dominick Mysterio. Will she make her choice for Wrestlemania tonight? Seems like yes but we take a
Commercial Break
Liv and Dom are in the ring. Recap of last week’s chaos with the Judgement Day leading to Raquel losing her title match against Stephanie Vaquer. Liv goes to start but Dom interrupts and gets nuclear heat immediately. Someone at ringside hands him a bouquet of roses and he gives them to Liv and calls her the greatest RR winner of all time. She loves it. Ah also there are chocolates. Liv teases making her decision and Stephanie Vaquer’s music hits and she comes to the ring holding the World title. She gets a good reaction from the crowd. Vaquer cuts a promo in Spanish. Liv wants Dom to translate but he hesitates to tell Liv. Dom cuts a promo in Spanish back to Vaquer. Liv and Stephanie trade barbs and Stephanie says she hopes Liv chooses her. Liv won’t rush her decision. Liv calls her a Puta and Stephanie hits Dominick, her music plays and she leaves. This match seems to make more sense than Jade Cargill but it isn’t made official.

Commercial Break
Back with Ivy, who entered over the break, and then Rhea Ripley comes out to a big ovation.

Lyra Valkyria vs. Ivy Nile vs. Rhea Ripley
Ivy cleared out early. Rhea and Lyra go back and forth until Ivy comes back in and hits a suplex. Action moves to the floor with Rhea and Ivy, then Lyra flies at them from inside the ring. The inexplicably we go to another
Commercial Break
Ivy has Rhea on the corner as we return, and Lyra runs over and they set up a wacky tower of doom double suplex type thing. Not sure who got the brunt of that one. Ivy working over both in opposite corners. Rhea rebounds and takes down Ivy. Rhea pauses to pose and Lyra goes on the attack. They go back and forth. Lyra ends up on Rhea’s shoulders as Ivy goes to the top and comes down for an attempted bulldog(?) on Lyra but Rhea knocked Lyra over before Ivy jumped. Elaborate DDT by Lyra on Ripley, Ivy pushes lyra out of the ring and covers Rhea for 2. Lyra back in and hits another DDT on Ivy for a 2 count. Rhea back in, Ivy takes control.

CM Punk is WALKING again.
Commercial Break
Michael Cole is in the ring to introduce, presumably, CM Punk. But during his intro, Finn Balor runs in and grabs the mic from Cole. Finn says CM Punk is hurt, and he knows this because he’s the one who hurt him. He won’t let Roman Reigns take advantage of his kill. Balor talks about having Roman beat at some point too. He’s tired of being pushed around he wants Punk in a title match at the Elimination Chamber. Adam Pearce comes out with a mic and some security guys to remove Finn from the ring.
Cult of Personality hits and CM Punk comes down with the title around his waist. Crowd sings along as Punk WALKS to the ring, somewhat quickly I guess. Punk gets in the ring to confront Balor, who rolls out and hides behind the announce table. Pearce tries to lower the tension. Punk says Balor doesn’t deserve a title shot but does deserve an ass beating. Punk calls out Balor. Balor laughs and says put the title on the line and he’ll finish what he started 2 weeks ago. Punk throws down the belt and wants to do this now. Adam Pearce says no. Punk gets in Adam’s face says he wants all the stroke that goes with being champ. Pearce gives in and makes the match official for Elimination Chamber, which gets boos from the crowd since they hoped the match would happen tonight. Security escorts Finn out of the ring as the crowd chants for CM Punk.
Punk grabs the mic and starts his interview segment with Michael Cole in the ring. Cole asks why Punk would jeopardize the main event of Wrestlemania just to take on Finn Balor. Punk claims he is not jeopardizing anything, rather he is being a fighting champion that the fans deserve. He is humble, etc. Punk tuns his attention to Roman. He says there is one way Wrestlemania ends, and that’s with the ring announcer saying the winner and STILL champion, The Best in the World CM Punk. Punk exists to his music.
Adam Pearce is backstage talking to his staff with Logan Paul and the Vision surrounds him. Paul Heyman cuts a promo on Pearce, who finally gets up and gets in Paul’s face. Pearce reminds Paul that Theory is facing off against Penta and LA Knight for a Chamber stop tonight. He warns them not to get involved. Heyman walks off after Pearce theatens him, Logan Paul threatens Pearce then Bronson calls Logan down.
Nattie makes her entrance as we head to a
Commercial Break
Nattie vs. Maxine Dupri
Maxine immediately goes for a surprise ankle lock, but Nattie escapes and takes control. Maxine rebounds and Nattie rolls to the floor. Maxine follows to the floor, but Nattie sends her into the STEEEEEEEEEEEEL steps. Then into the STEEEEEEEEEEEEL ringpost. Nattie positions Dupri on the announce table, moving chairs and monitors and such. Nattie mounts Maxine on the announce table and pummels on her. The ring bell sounds and I guess this one is thrown out. Nattie puts Maxine in the sharpshooter on the announce table as various WWE officials try to break it up. Suddenly AJ Lee’s music play and she runs in for the save. AJ Lee and a ref are carrying Maxine to the back when Becky Lynch attacks AJ!
The in-ring wrestling on this show has been rough.
LA Knight video package.
Commercial Break
Los Americanos vs. Je’von Evans and a MYSTERY PARTNER
The mystery partner is the ORIGINAL EL GRANDE AMERICANO aka Chad Gable and that is a pretty cool team if they go with it. Some fast paced action early. Gable Americano gets the ankle lock. Fairly quick match. Evans hits a top rope OG cutter on Bravo then takes out the other on the floor. The Original Grande Americano hits a top rope headbutt for the pin.
