Steve Notes SD 4/23/21

Cesaro opens raw, but before he can say anything, Rollins interrupts him, says congrats, you fulfilled your potential, you know why? You were in the ring at mania with me. And I took you from way down here, and I gave you the night of your life and I took you to the promised land. Where’s my thanks? I haven’t heard anything. You plan to be moving on from me? Your sights are set on the universal title? YOU GOTTA BE JOKING ME! Nothing is over til I say it is. If mother nature and god himself hadn’t converged for the rain delay,  and throw me off my game, all things being equal, on my worst day you couldn’t beat me again.

Cesaro: Are you having a good day? I’m having a great day, come in here and prove it, right here right now.

Rollins: Maybe I should use tonight to teach you a lesson.

Jey Uso comes out. CESARO LISTEN TO THIS MAN HE HAS POINTS. You can’t beat me, him, Seth again, you didn’t get the message last week. Seth says if you go there now, he has the high ground, let’s surround him. Uso agrees. Daniel Bryan comes out smiling, Bryan says WAIT where are you going? Oh i get it. You didn’t come out for the reasons you said you did. Cesaro wants a uni title match. Seth, you came out cuz you are embarrassed and upset that cesaro beat you. Jey you came out cuz roman told you to. JEY SHRUGS A YES! HAHAHA

I came out to make you Cesaro gets what he deserves. Cuz this guy hasn’t gotten one break for the title. Are you gonna fight us now? Cuz I just made some derogatory comments. IS ROMAN GONNA COME OUT? Probably not, he doesn’t like to fight. Anyone who wants to fight, come on out. Roman’s music hits.

DB you talkin about hard work. You should be talking about wrestlemania. I told the whole world. Smash em, stack em, pin em. You the guy on the bottom. That means you’re a loser. Cesaro, the fact you’re letting him talk for you, makes you a loser. To me, you’re top tier losers. DB you’re a mania main event loser. Cesaro you’re a casino loser, bad luck. Bryan you out here running your mouth, you’re surrounded by people who wanna kick your ass.

It’s been years since my last IC fight, I’m thrilled, I’m delighted, I’m a little surprised, wasn’t expecting this, not gonna turn it down, I will gladly be the one to knock him off his royal perch.

ALIESTER BLACK VDEO

Most people aren’t honest with you, cuz I want YOU to know the truth. Chapter One: the dragon

I attended many funerals as a child, my father would bring me. As I grew older, my father became distant, I was not taught how to defeat the dragon, I was taught how to BE the dragon. I could not be like the weak minded fools, like you gawking at the screen, you transform your children into bigger monsters than you. You should be scorched from the earth to make room for more fertile things.

Dirty Dawgs interview

Who’s next? Profits come in, when we were champs, they had multiple chances, how about us? Dolph says back of the line! Bayley comes in, breaks it up, she runs down the ungrateful rookie bianca belair. I never got a thank you for helping her get to mania.

Cesaro says either come out here and give us an answer or we can go back there and get it

Roman comes out, furious, you haven’t deserved this, earned it. My answer is no. it’ll always be no. cuz you’ll never be on my level. Universal champ offers up the challenges. And the challenge goes to you, DB. I don’t like, never have. Will never like you. One more shot at this. Next week you get one more title opportunity. What you gotta say? Cesaro says why are you thinking about this? You have to take it.

BUT- you need to know this. If - WHEN you lose, I don’t want to see you again. Vanish. I never wanna see you floating around smackdown ever again. DB I ACCEPT.
