Pat McAfee!

Roman opens the show

Roman gets SUPER 8K treatment

We put a lot of eyes on Smackdown Paul, tell the people about the names we put away at Wrestlemania?

Paul describes Daniel Bryan and Edge

Roman: I called my shot, like Babe Ruth- that’s embarassing. Nobody wants to face me. Nobody wants me to do that to them. These are hall of farmers. Smashed them, stacked them, pinned them 1 2 3. And then they acknowledged me in front of the whole world. Who’s gonna want this next? Time to fire up the jet, cut the check, lets go Paul.

Cesaro comes out.

He stands face to face with Roman, asks for a mic, Roman leaves

Cesaro, with no one to challenge, drops his mic

Otis vs. Rey Mysterio

Otis throws Rey around like he’s nothing

He misses a splash from the second rope

Rey hits 619, he goes to the top and hits a CRUCIFIX PIN on OTIS for 3

Cesaro tells Pearce and Sonya that he wants a match tonight, title doesn’t have to be on the line, Sonya says she’ll talk to him.

Heyman interview: Are we gonna accept the challenge? Yeah, cuz we do that around here. There was no rain delay on Saturday. Those were tears from angels over the beating Roman would give Bryan and Edge at Mania. And when got to the locker room, it was tears on the ground from the roster- a billion dollar body with a ten cent brain like Cesaro comes out of the locker room? He’s a joke. Lets give him what he wants. Cesaro one on one in the main event against the main event, Jey Uso.

Sami Zayn, no cameras, he yells at the camera man for being near him, promo:

Mania was supposed to be my vindication, where the stars aligned, my special guest logan paul was there, he was supposed to watch my grand vision- but it didn’t happen, because his mind was poisoned. By KO, by the fans, by management, by Cole, everybody got in his head. Kevin Owens, I will not be denied my vindication, give me what I want. Owens comes down

Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens

Damn, Sami hits sunset flip power bomb on KO from the top

Sami gets himself counted out

**

Owens chases him, hits a stunner back in the ring

NEW Intercontinental Champ Apollo Crews with Daba Kato

He would give Big E a rematch, but he’s not here- two words, Nigerian Nail

He calls him Commander Aziz, former Nigerian Guard member

Bianca Belair’s Championship Party hosted by Street Profits

They run a recap package, Montez does a killer intro for Bianca

If I was told that I would win the title in the main event of Wrestlemania, I probably would said yes. No lie. Never apologize for being the best.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

It’s not just about me. Sasha banks. Thank you, you pushed me harder than anyone we both made history. If you ever forget, I left something with you to remember me by. This is bigger than that tho, this is for the little girls sitting at home and esp those that look like me. This is for you. We’re just getting started. They group hug. She says it’s time to drop the red cups, you need to get the titles back cuz we only wear gold in this house.

Sasha interview- she shows off her scar from the hair whip. She walks off.

Bayley interview: while I was so busy trying to save Wrestlemania Bianca was crying before the match started. We all know she cried cuz she didn’t think she could win, I’m gonna take her title.

Street Profits vs. Dirty Dawgs

Finish saw Ford tope out of the ring onto DD, Dawkins hits spinebuster on Roode, Ford hits frog splash, Dolph breaks it up, Montez attacks Roode in the corner, he gets tied up talking to the ref, Dolph tags Roode, Montez goes back after Roode, Zig Zag out of nowhere for 3

***

Cesaro interview

Heyman is right about everything, BUT he’s wrong about one thing- I do belong in the ring with Roman, and I’m gonna prove it by beating Jey

Natalya vs Shayna Baszler

Natalya keeps going for the sharpshooter, Shayna gets distracted by Nia on the apron AND SHAYNA GETS ROLLED UP AGAIN WHAT THE FUCK

NO STARS

Jey promo next to Roman

Nice swing but can you do that with no teeth? I’m gonna show you why they call me main event Jey Uso I’m gonna get em

Roman whispers he’s gonna show u

Jey Uso vs. Cesaro

Lots of back and forth, til Jey starts slapping Cesaro around, talking shit, Cesaro gets pissed, hits the swing, in the middle of his sixth swing, Seth gets involved, attacks Cesaro for the DQ

Seth yells YOU GOT LUCKY ONE TIME THIS ISN”T OVER TIL I SAY ITS OVER!

I AM THE END ALL BE ALL OF THIS INDUSTRY! THE SOONER YOU FIGURE THAT OUT THE BETTER ITS GONNA BE
