- The biggest match in WrestleMania history is going to happen...AJ Styles The Phenomenal One taking on The Phenom The Dead Man The Last Outlaw The Undertaker in a Dream Match at WrestleMania 30...Title vs Streak with AJ Styles putting his WWE Championship on the line against The Undertaker's 21-0 undefeated WrestleMania streak...this has all the makings of a classic hell it has all the makings of Match of the Year because there are so many high stakes because if Taker wins he goes to 22-0 and becomes the new WWE Champion but if he loses the streak is over and AJ Styles adds yet another accolade to his WWE career by forever being known as the man who ended The Undertaker's 21-0 undefeated WrestleMania streak...Taker attacking Styles to set up this match and his explanation it all makes sense
- Cody Rhodes beating Kevin Owens...with a huge win on Cody's beat it begs the question of where Cody goes from here especially heading into WrestleMania 30 because last year Cody was in the main event of WrestleMania in this diary he was fighting for the then World Heavyweight Championship and now fast forward a year later it begs the question of who he will face? Kevin Owens being interrupted by a returning Randy Orton...now that is a shocking return certainly one I wouldn't have expected or called but Orton coming for Owens makes total sense...Owens put Orton on the shelf could have ended Orton's career with that Apron Powerbomb and Orton in his return gets his hands on Owens by hitting him with an RKO...The Viper strikes...if anything after that I think it is safe to say we will get Orton/Owens at WrestleMania 30 and Orton if he wanted to he could have Punt Kicked Owens in the skull as payback
- Unique Opportunity Battle Royal...the winner of that is exempt from the draft and they can essentially be on both shows as a free agent getting a title shot against any champion of their choosing I think that that is truly unique and the fact that Dario Cueto came up with that just goes to show you that he actually can be a capable GM it shows he can be a much better and much more innovative leader going forward than Stephanie
- Roman Reigns the returning Reigns is in that Battle Royal I mean if he is he is my pick to win it all...Bo Rotundo is also in that Battle Royal hell he doesn't have a chance no chance in hell of winning
- Reigns in his return in his in-ring return on RAW with a dominant and decisive win over Bo Rotundo...I mean after that win who can really stop Roman Reigns? I mean after that win he just proved that not only is he dominant but that in this Battle Royal he may in fact be the favorite to walk out the winner
- Seth Rollins w/his mentor his valet Triple H beating Rusev...I mean Rollins it is like ever since he and Triple H have joined forces or ever since Triple H has mentored Rollins he has been on a roll winning match after match and the fact that his team won last night in WarGames I mean Rollins it begs the question of what he will do now heading into WrestleMania? I mean with him calling out Ambrose well daring him to come after him...will Ambrose do it? If Ambrose does it he risks getting arrested and going to jail but then again Ambrose isn't the brightest bulb in the sense that the man is a lunatic and obviously won't use his brain which will probably lead to either him getting arrested or him getting ambushed
- Enzo Amore vs Matt Hardy for the WWE Hardcore Championship...if anything I would definitely save that match for WrestleMania 30 because that match has WrestleMania worthy written all over it and knowing Matt Hardy well Broken Matt Hardy like I do I can see him making Enzo wait for his title opportunity which means their rematch will happen at WrestleMania and this will be Matt's first Mania in over 4 years...his last appearance was WrestleMania 26 but Matt has had many of WrestleMania moments whereas Enzo has not even had one
- Miz the WWE United States Champion after what he and Maryse both did to Brie Bella I think it is safe to say that this Miz/Bryan feud definitely will continue never mind the fact that with Bryan if he even goes ahead with this it could be not only career threatening possibly even life threatening with him going into the ring again much less against Miz...I know Daniel is a proud guy but there comes a point between being proud and being smart
- 8 Man Tag Team action with The Kings of Wrestling Ohno & Cesaro reuniting teaming with Kidd & Neville to beat the team of The Revival and Jericho & Christian with the faces going over the heels I mean all 4 of these teams want to be #1 Contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championships and The New Day are the new WWE Tag Team Champions but it begs the question of which team will get the shot? But then again The Alpha Wolves have a contractual rematch clause for those titles so there is also that issue as well to take care of
- Sofia Cortez beating Alicia Fox...I mean after that win I think it is safe to say that Sofia deserves a title match for the WWE Women's Championship I mean last I checked she pinned the WWE Women's Champion Alexa Bliss but then again AJ Lee she was the champion and she has a contractual rematch clause for that title that Bliss holds so it seems we are at another impasse unless the GM and the Commissioner decide to put Sofia in the mix and make it a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Women's Championship at WrestleMania
- Roode/Punk for the WWE Intercontinental Championship on Smackdown...well that equals big money match hell it equals WrestleMania worthy match but will Punk show up or will he no show this event? If he no shows he will be stripped of the title but if he shows up then it looks like we get our Dream Match and honestly I for one hope that it does happen
- Main event...Paige beating the WWE Universsl Champion Derrick Bateman 1 on 1 well major assist goes to John Cena because if it wasn't for his intervention Paige wouldn't have won this match hell if Lesnar hadn't interfered Bateman would have won this match but seeing Lesnar come I mean I definitely wouldn't have called it and Lesnar F5ing Bateman with Paige taking advantage to get the win...I mean after that I think it is safe to say we get Lesnar, Cena and Bateman in a Triple Threat Match

- Derrick Bateman defending his WWE Universal Championship in a Triple Threat Match against John Cena and against Brock Lesnar...Bateman doesn't even have to be involved in the decision to lose his title...Lesnar could pin Cena or vice versa or Lesnar could make Cena tap or Cena could make Lesnar tap and Bateman would lose his title that way in either scenario...in a Triple Threat Match Bateman's chances go out the window I mean he is headlining Mania against both Cena and Lesnar who have main evented Manias in the past who have headlined Mania after Mania in the past and this is Bateman's first one in the main event...I see Bateman losing his title either way because I see him going to Suplex City but then I also see Cena going there too but as for who wins the WWE Universal Championship? I predict Lesnar to walk out WWE Universal Champion and why? Because Lesnar hasn't had a title reign in this diary hell he is long past due for a title reign and after everything Lesnar has gone through it would be the perfect comeuppance for him to become champion
- Paige is really out of her mind especially to challenge Bray Wyatt in not just any match but a Hell in a Cell Match...Bray not only outweighs her but he outmuscles her too I mean he is a big guy and strong agile for a big man of his size and not to mention in Hell in a Cell even though Harper and Rowan are not going to be able to get into the cell who is to say that they won't find their way in somehow

February 26th, 2014 - Following the signature WWE intro was a video package recapping the events from last week's NXT TakeOver: R Evolution special. In the opening contest, Ricochet and Uhaa Nation bested The Addiction in a Two-out-of-Three Falls match to retain the NXT Tag Team Championships. Magnus' in-ring debut was spoiled by Rich Swann, who shocked the world by defeating Magnus in just a matter of seconds. Tye Dillinger's momentum as 'The Perfect Ten' continues to build as he overcame Kyle O'Reilly. Tyler Breeze managed to hold onto his IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion after taking out the former champion, Kota Ibushi. History was made when Emma became the first ever two time NXT Women's Champion by defeating Bayley, albeit with a great deal of assistance from her Iconic stablemates, Billie Kay and Peyton Royce. Lastly, in a Fatal Four Way match for the NXT Championship, Finn Balor stood tall over Sami Zayn, Pentagon and Hideo Itami and will carry the gold into NXT's biggest event to date - NXT TakeOver: New Orleans, two days before WrestleMania XXX.
BLAKE & MURPHY VS. THE VAUDEVILLAINS ENDS IN A NO CONTEST: Starting off the evening was tag team action between two units who were looking to elevate themselves in the division now that The Addiction are seemingly out of the picture, leaving Ricochet and Uhaa Nation without any challengers. Blake, Murphy and The Vaudevillains competed for approximately two minutes before Pentagon hit the ring through the Full Sail audience. The place came unglued as Pentagon crashed into Murphy and Simon Gotch with Clotheslines, Blake trying to intervene before eating a Superkick. Pentagon knelt down and grabbed Murphy's arm, snapping it back and breaking it! He wasted no time before turning his attention to Gotch, doing the same to him! "He just broke their arms!" Josh Barnett yelled out over the NXT Universe that continued to go crazy for Pentagon. Blake attempted to crawl away from the scene, but Pentagon grabbed him by his hair and pulled him into the center of the ring. Just like with Murphy and Gotch, Pentagon grabbed Blake's arm and snapped it! Three superstars just became victims of Pentagon, Aiden English looking as if he was going to be able to get away as he backed up the entrance ramp with a stunned expression on his face. Unbeknownst to him, Maxine made her way out onto the stage, English turning around to meet her. He took a few steps back as Maxine approached him, Pentagon quickly getting a hold of him! Pentagon threw English onto the ramp before breaking his arm! "Four arms! Pentagon just broke four arms right before our eyes!" Rob Naylor stated as Pentagon stood up while staring down at English, who withered around in pain while holding his shoulder. Maxine spoke out, saying that consequences were only a matter of time after Pentagon had the NXT Championship ripped away from him at TakeOver. "The souls of the innocent are in just as much danger as the one true culprit for all of this. The man who is solely responsible for Pentagon not capturing the NXT Title. Hideo Itami... this is all on you. You're the reason why Pentagon and I stand here without the key to this kingdom to present to our master. And because we cannot take gold back to him... your blood will have to suffice. Hideo, there's no point in trying to fight back. You and Paul Heyman are going to suffer at our hands and if you think for one second that we are not serious about retribution... look at what Pentagon just did! Please, Hideo... accept this blessing from myself and Pentagon known as the gift of death. Sooner than later, we will have you right where we want you."
"Hideo Itami... el regalo de la muerte te espera! Porque yo soy Pentagon y CERO! MIEDO!"
KYLE O'REILLY DEF. ANGELO DAWKINS: After suffering his second TakeOver loss in a row last week, Kyle O'Reilly displayed an even more vicious mean streak tonight against Angelo Dawkins. The Full Sail audience continued to turn against O'Reilly, choosing Tye Dillinger's side in the rivalry between the two superstars. "Once the NXT Universe has spoken, that's it. They've chosen Tye as 'their guy' and no matter who he was competing against, these fans were going to stick with him. It just happened to be Kyle who suffered as a result," said Josh Barnett, explaining why O'Reilly and Dillinger were seemingly switching alignments thanks to the NXT fans. O'Reilly forced Dawkins to submit to a Guillotine Choke, but post-match, O'Reilly refused to release the hold. "Okay, that's enough. I've tried to remain in Kyle's corner throughout his time thus far in NXT, but he's snapped. The voices of the NXT Universe have gotten to his head," Rob Naylor said as the official tried to pry O'Reilly off of Dawkins, who had already slipped into unconsciousness by that point. Suddenly, Tye Dillinger's entrance music hit and the Full Sail audience erupted. Dillinger ran down to the ring, but O'Reilly released the Guillotine and escaped. O'Reilly headed up the entrance ramp, refusing to look back at Dillinger and the NXT Universe, everyone that he holds accountable for his change in attitude.
Backstage, Cathy Kelley was standing by with a superstar who was ready to make his return after months on the shelf, Drew McIntyre. After McIntyre entered the picture, Cathy asked him what his intentions are in NXT as his in-ring return in one weeks draws near. "When I came to NXT last year, I said from the start that my one goal here is to become champion. Shortly thereafter, I suffered an injury and for a moment, it felt like what everyone was saying about me was going to become fact. I came into WWE as 'The Chosen One.' Handpicked by Mr. McMahon to carry this company into the future... but it felt like the company went into the future and just left me behind. I had two options while sitting in rehab. Give up and prove all of my critics right, or get back up and show why Drew McIntyre is still the future of professional wrestling." As McIntyre's interview was wrapping up, he and Cathy both turned to their left as Jinder Mahal, who also had been silent for months, stepped into the interview scene. They both glared at Mahal, who didn't say a single word for a few seconds. "... Can I help you?" McIntyre asked his former 3MB stablemate. "I don't know... can you?" Mahal asked McIntyre in response before leaving.
BECKY LYNCH & NICOLE MATTHEWS DEF. CHELSEA GREEN & ALLYSIN KAY: This past Sunday at Battleground, Becky Lynch and Nicole Matthews proved to be vital toward Team AJ Lee's victory, the two impressing not only the NXT faithful who already stood behind them, but those in power over on the main roster as we get closer to the Draft in April. "Becky and Nicole's history can't be overlooked. Almost a decade ago, Nicole actually had her very first wrestling match against Becky," said Josh Barnett to give a history lesson. Nicole and Becky continued to show their worth to the women's division after a victory over Chelsea Green and Allysin Kay that came after Nicole delivered a Sit Out Razor's Edge to Chelsea. Becky and Nicole celebrated their victory post-match, the two knowing that despite being allies, their paths would cross at some point as foes as they climb the ranks in the women's division.
At this time, still images from Magnus and Rich Swann's contest last week at NXT TakeOver: R Evolution were shown. "We only have three pictures to show because that's literally all we have from this match," said Josh Barnett. In what was intended by Magnus to be his triumphant in-ring debut, Swann caught him with a Spin Kick that gave the underdog the shocking victory. Next week, Swann will be back in Full Sail University, this time to sign his NXT contract in front of the entire world.
"Look, everyone! It's Tyler!" The entrance theme of the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion hit as Tyler Breeze strutted down to the ring, just one week removed from his successful title defense against Kota Ibushi at TakeOver: R Evolution. After stepping through the ropes, Breeze took a microphone and told the Full Sail audience that they were in the presence of an 'international icon.' "For the last year and a half, yours truly has proven himself as the 'King of NXT'... And now, you can all say that you are witnessing the transformation of Tyler Breeze from 'King of NXT.'.. to 'King of Japan!' At Wrestle Kingdom, I did what all of the uggos of the word deemed impossible and I beat Kota Ibushi in his own house. Then, Ibushi decided to try to dethrone the king in my house, and what happened to him? I rearranged his face and now, he has to go back to New Japan empty-handed and even more hideous than he already was. Now and I must look ahead to what I consider to be my toughest challenge to date. I thought about this earlier, and I think I've managed to narrow down my top five greatest opponents in history. Kota Ibushi, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens and Kazuchika Okada all make the list... but none of them take the number one spot. That honor goes to the man who is about to make his way through that curtain. When you're an international icon, you have to be ready for international foes. This is undoubtedly the biggest moment of not just my career, but my life altogether. This man is a veteran of over twenty years in lucha libre. A legend in Mexico. It's been nearly a decade since he last stepped foot into the WWE, but he's back with one thing on his mind: My IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship. Uggos all over the world, stand up and please welcome the challenger..."
TYLER BREEZE DEF. MASCARITA SAGRADA TO RETAIN THE IWGP JR. HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP: "Zayn... Owens... Ibushi... Okada... Mascarita Sagrada," said Josh Barnett in response to Breeze listing - in his opinion - his toughest challengers to date. Mascarita Sagrada, one of the most well known Mexican Minis, made his way out to the ring. "This... this is what Breeze thinks of the Jr. Heavyweight Title. Take nothing away from Mascarita Sagrada. He truly is a veteran, but Breeze is just using him for an easy championship defense," Rob Naylor said. After the bell sounded, Breeze and Mascarita circled the canvas for a bit before the defending champion dropped to his knees to lock up with his challenger. Breeze placed one hand over Mascarita's face and pushed him away. When Mascarita got to his feet, he charged toward Breeze. Bless Mascarita's heart, but he ate one of the most vicious looking Supermodel Kicks anyone had ever seen when he literally flipped over. Breeze put one finger onto Mascarita's chest, the official making the three count. Breeze rose to his feet, pretending to be exhausted as he was handed back the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship. Breeze headed up the entrance ramp after a successful defense of his title, albeit one that even he knew was a complete joke.
A graphic was shown for a Tag Team contest scheduled for next week. While The Vaudevillains, Blake and Murphy had their opportunities at impressing the NXT Universe ripped away by Pentagon earlier, two other up and coming units will have their chances when The Lucha Dragons, Kalisto and Fenix, take on Jason Jordan and Chad Gable.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome at this time... the NEW NXT Champion, Finn Balor!" The roof just about came off of Full Sail University as the intro to Balor's theme music sounded, smoke compromising the entire stage. Balor's true theme came in as the new NXT Champion stepped out through the smoke, Balor looking out at the sea of fans who have supported him not only over the past year, but in every one of his tenures before arriving to NXT. "The second that Finn Balor walked through the door last year, we all knew we were looking at a future champion. Last week at TakeOver, Balor finally grabbed the brass ring and now stands alone at the top of NXT as our champion," Rob Naylor said while Balor led the NXT Universe in the arm-raising tradition that his theme song inspired. When Balor got into the ring, he took a microphone and had to wait a bit for the fans to simmer down before finally speaking. "Almost one year ago, the NXT Universe got its first glimpse of me at WrestleMania. I made it clear right then and there that I was coming into WWE for one reason only, and that was to become champion. Hideo Itami and I captured the NXT Tag Team Titles shortly thereafter, but I wasn't satisfied with just that. I knew that the NXT Championship was in my future, and last week at TakeOver, it became my reality. Without any hesitation, I can say that I had the fight of my life at TakeOver. I went through hell and back... but the good thing about that is the fact that hell is where I feel most comfortable when 'The Demon' emerges from within me. But right now, you guys aren't looking at 'The Demon.' You're looking at someone who was told time and time again that he was too small and didn't have what it takes to make it as a professional wrestler. What those people didn't know was that they were only fueling my passion and desire to reach this point. To get to a place like Full Sail University where I can compete in front of people who actually support me and want to see me achieve my dreams. However... I know that I'm not the only NXT superstar who you guys feel that way about. In order to make my dream a reality... I had to take away Sami Zayn's. Back in Houston after TakeOver: Forever, Becky Lynch and I stood in this ring alongside Sami Zayn and Bayley, both of whom had just reached the mountaintop as champions. I couldn't have been any happier to watch Sami become NXT Champion... but I knew that him holding the gold meant that he was now my target. I saw my opportunity to strike last week and I took it without any hesitation. But at TakeOver: New Orleans on April 4th, the roles will be reversed. Sami will be the one who has the chance to take away my dream. I don't take any of this lightly, Sami. I know you're going to come at me in New Orleans with aggression like I've never seen before... but you can expect me to do the same. This is being called the biggest match in NXT history for a reason. The two superstars who have helped turn NXT into a phenomenon are going to beat the living hell out of each other on WrestleMania weekend for this title. I respect you, Sami... but I don't regret beating you and I won't regret doing it again in New Orleans." Balor placed his microphone down while the NXT Universe cheered him on, although it was clear that they were torn. Whose side do they take at TakeOver: New Orleans when Sami Zayn challenges Finn Balor for the NXT Championship in the biggest main event in NXT history?
Backstage, NXT General Manager Dusty Rhodes was shown in his office, watching a TV monitor while applauding Finn Balor for managing to rise to the top of NXT as the new champion. However, he wasn't the only person who captured a title last week at TakeOver. The new NXT Women's Champion Emma stepped into the office, along with Billie Kay and Peyton Royce, both of whom had ice packs applied to their necks as a result of WarGames. "What do you want?" Emma asked Dusty before Iconic noticed the TV screen. "Ew, Finn Balor," Peyton said, Billie adding, "He's not iconic." Dusty congratulated Emma on becoming the first ever two-time NXT Women's Champion, but told her that he wasn't going to let Iconic get away with their tactics at TakeOver. "Bayley is entitled to a rematch for the Women's Championship, and she'll be receiving it next week. But this time, I'm going to make sure that those two don't get involved like they did at TakeOver. Next week, Emma, you're going to defend the title against Bayley in NXT's first ever Steel Cage match."

- Pentagon to start off the show on NXT breaks up a Tag Team Match between Blake & Murphy vs The Vaudevillains I mean why would Pentagon choose that exact moment to show up to make a statement? But nevertheless he made a statement breaking not 1 not 2 not 3 but 4 arms in succession taking out both teams breaking all 4 men's arms and with Maxine in tow I mean there is no greater statement than that...but then Pentagon blames Hideo Itami for not being NXT Champion I mean it was a Fatal 4 Way Match for Christ sake Itami was not the only man in that match so were Zayn and Balor the new NXT Champion so why wouldn't he just target them too?
- Isn't Pentagon supposed to be a heel? And if Itami being a Paul Heyman Guy if he is also a heel too you are doing a heel vs heel program with Itami and Pentagon and if that is the case considering both men have heel valets in Maxine and Heyman then it really boils down to a Battle of the Unlikeables here who do the fans hate more? Do they hate Itami more? Or do they hate Pentagon more? Either way this is a program I definitely wanna see
- O'Reilly seemingly is now full blown heel well it makes sense because of the fact that it was the fans who turned him heel basically by turning on him in favor of Tye Dillinger who was heel and now it is a role reversal with O'Reilly as the heel and Dillinger as the babyface but seeing O'Reilly beat Dawkins...O'Reilly is on a roll well ever since this new turn in attitude which if anything keeps his character more fresh it gives him a reset
- Seeing the former 3MB teammates Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal come face to face in NXT it makes me wonder if we are in for a program with these 2 in NXT?
- Becky Lynch and Nicole Matthews beating the team of Chelsea Green and Allysin Kay...I mean how long before we see Lynch or Matthews or even both of these women end up on the main roster in the Draft? Because it could happen...I mean the RAW GM and the Smackdown GM could draft any one on the NXT roster basically no one is safe on NXT from this Draft either which basically means any of the NXT divas could end up on the main roster hell even some of the talent like Pentagon, Sami Zayn, Hideo Itami or even Finn Balor himself could end up on the main roster in the draft
- Rich Swann being here in NXT I mean I could see him ending up on the main roster especially if the WWE Cruiserweight Championship is brought back on the main roster hell I could see any or all cruiserweights being in the division if it is brought back
- Breeze proving himself to be a fighting champion here in NXT I mean he is still the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion he has beaten all comers with his latest victim being Mascarita Sagrada I mean it begs the question of which IWGP star can beat Breeze for that title? I mean he is walking around with a New Japan title still especially when he is a WWE superstar specifically an NXT superstar
- Lucha Dragons taking on American Alpha...2 prime teams in the hunt for the NXT Tag Team Championships who will be the team that becomes #1 Contenders for those titles?
- Finn Balor defending his NXT Championship against Sami Zayn at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans 2 nights before WrestleMania 30 I mean it makes sense that we get an NXT TakeOver PPV every time before the Big 4 PPVs like Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Survivor Series and with it being in New Orleans it makes sense because that is where WrestleMania 30 is and NXT TakeOver: New Orleans for the NXT talent this is their WrestleMania when you think about it and your Mania main event here in NXT for the title is Balor/Zayn I mean is this a face vs face program? If it is I wonder if the fans will be torn 50/50 as to who to cheer for?
- Emma having to defend her NXT Women's Championship against Bayley in the Steel Cage...what a way to stack the deck against Emma and her Iconic teammates can't help her out...she has to go it alone so I wonder if Emma may have something up her sleeve? Or will Bayley finally get her retribution and become NXT Women's Champion

As for WrestleMania XXX the 30th Anniversary of WrestleMania...30 years of WrestleMania...the Grandest Stage of Them All before the Brand Extension Draft before the Brand Split takes effect since we know some of the matches that are already confirmed such as:
WWE Universal Championship (Triple Threat Match)- Derrick Bateman (c) vs John Cena vs Brock Lesnar w/Paul Heyman WWE Championship (Title vs 21-0 WrestleMania undefeated Streak)- AJ Styles (c) vs The Undertaker Unique Opportunity Battle Royal hosted by RAW GM Dario Cueto (Winner of that becomes a free agent and is exempt from being drafted) WWE Women's Championship- Alexa Bliss (c) vs AJ Lee *Still not confirmed: Paige vs Bray Wyatt (Hell in a Cell)
It begs the question of if we see more matches added to the card such as:
WWE United States Championship being defended WWE Hardcore Championship being defended WWE Intercontinental Championship being defended WWE Tag Team Championships being defended
Kevin Owens vs Randy Orton (Grudge Match) Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins or Triple H (Grudge Match) depending on who you have Ambrose go up against
I wonder if Shane McMahon will have a WrestleMania match? Since this is Shane's first Mania back but as the Smackdown Commissioner I wonder if Shane will have a match at Mania and if he does then I wonder who Shane will face?

February 28th, 2014 - Immediately after the airing of the signature WWE intro, cameras cut to the BMO Bradley Harris Center as one of the biggest opening contests in SmackDown history was set to begin. The entrance music of Bobby Roode sounded to a mostly negative response from the Milwaukee audience, though that didn't stop everybody from singing, "Glorious! No, I won't give in! I won't give in!" as loudly as they could. 'The Glorious One' made his way down to the ring for one of the biggest matches of his WWE tenure to date. "Roode defeated CM Punk almost two weeks ago to earn this opportunity, and right now, there's no better feeling than that of being 'Glorious.' Roode was on the winning team Sunday at Battleground. He's got an Intercontinental Championship shot right here and right now on the road to WrestleMania. If Roode wins tonight, he cements himself as one of the premiere superstars in all of WWE today," said Corey Graves while Roode removed his robe in the ring. Roode's entrance music silenced, making the "CM Punk!" chants the rang throughout Milwaukee more audible than before. "Cult of Personality" hit to a thunderous ovation from the WWE Universe, the fans still choosing to rally behind their Intercontinental Champion despite his demeanor as of late. Punk's entrance theme continued on for nearly thirty seconds without any sign of 'The Best in the World,' Roode reminding the official of the stipulation that was put in place. If Punk failed to show up to defend his title, Roode would be named the new Intercontinental Champion. The official insisted that Roode be patient, but 'The Glorious One' was overly eager to officially count Punk out. "I'm sure... I'm sure Punk is here. He has to be. This isn't like him to just miss a title defense knowing that he'll be stripped of the gold if he no-showed," Mauro Ranallo said. Punk's music played a second time, but still, he was nowhere to be seen. The music silenced again as the official and Justin Roberts began speaking, Roode sticking his head out of the ring to try to listen to their conversation. The chants of Punk's name did not simmer until the official went back into the ring, asking for Roode to step into the center.
"The winner of this match via forfeit... and NEW Intercontinental Champion, Bobby Roode!"
The audience began booing relentlessly while Roode jumped up and down, 'The Glorious One' falling to his knees while continuing to scream at the top of his lungs. "I don't believe this. CM Punk just gave up," Ranallo said, Graves noting that Team AJ Styles turning his back on him did a significant number on Punk's morale. "He showed up to Battleground and was deemed useless by the likes of AJ Styles, Cody Rhodes, Dean Ambrose and Paige. This is his way of getting back at the people who supported Styles' decision to replace him on Sunday. At least that's the conclusion I've come to," Graves stated. Roode continued his over-the-top celebration, despite not having the actual Intercontinental Title in his possession. Nonetheless, Punk failed to show up here tonight to defend the gold, and as a result, Bobby Roode is the new Intercontinental Champion.
SAMOA JOE DEF. BARON CORBIN: With CM Punk choosing to no-show his Intercontinental Championship defense, this acted instead as the official opening contest to SmackDown in Milwaukee. Just five days after Braun Strowman was victorious in the Monster's Ball match at Battleground, Samoa Joe and Baron Corbin slugged it out once again with both men seeking to move on to Strowman once again. When Corbin brought Joe closer to him for the End of Days, Joe countered it into the Coquina Clutch! Joe took Corbin down to the canvas, keeping his grip around his neck as tightly as he could. Corbin soon faded out of consciousness, the official checking on him before calling for the bell. Joe released his hold on Corbin before rising to his feet, standing tall while looking toward the hard camera and calling for Strowman. 'The Samoan Submission Machine' and 'The Monster Among Men' still have a score unsettled, and sooner than later, the two of them will collide one-on-one to see just who truly is the sole monster of WWE.
Backstage, Tom Philips was standing by the duo of Chris Jericho and Christian. The two of them entered the picture and were asked for their thoughts on Kassius Ohno's return last week that led to an 8 Man Tag Team match this past Monday on RAW. "Shut up," Christian said to Philips before Jericho rambled on. "Kassius Ohno returned. Big deal. So what? He, Antonio Cesaro, Adrian Neville and Tyson Kidd got lucky on RAW. That's all. But next Monday, we have a rematch with The Revival as our partners again, only this time, things will certainly be different," Jericho said. Christian added that with the tag team division heating up, now is the perfect opportunity for he and Jericho to deliver on their promise that they made when they formed their alliance. "This 'New Era' will see that they're inferior to veterans like 'Y2J' and 'Captain Charisma' and you know how we're going to prove that? By becoming the WWE Tag Team Champions. Do you... do you doubt us, Timmy?" Christian asked Philips, who tried to correct his name. "I think he doubts us, Chris. This loser doubts us." Jericho turned toward Philips with an expression of disdain on his face. "You doubt that Chris Jericho and Christian can become WWE Tag Team Champions? Travis... do you know what happens when you doubt that Chris Jericho and Christian can become WWE Tag Team Champions? Do you know what happens?" Jericho asked Philips before clicking his pen. "You just made the list!" Jericho shouted before proceeding to write 'Trevor' on The List of Jericho.
A special thanks was given to Bring Me the Horizon for the "That's the Spirit" album that acts as the official themes of WrestleMania XXX. Every song from the album will represent different matches on the card, some of which are already known such as "Throne" for AJ Styles vs. The Undertaker, and "Follow You" for Alexa Bliss vs. AJ Lee. "That's the Spirit" is available now on iTunes and Spotify.
KAITLYN DEF. VEDA SCOTT: Not only was Kaitlyn unsuccessful on Sunday as a member of Team Alexa Bliss, but she's seemingly been pushed aside in the WWE Women's Championship picture heading into WrestleMania XXX on April 6th. 'The Hybrid Diva' took her frustrations out on well-known independent star Veda Scott, finishing her off with a Spear to get the victory. Post-match, Kaitlyn was about to exit the squared circle until the entrance music of Alexa Bliss sounded. A mixed reaction came from the WWE Universe as 'Little Miss Bliss' limped out onto the stage, still feeling the effects of WarGames at Battleground. "Bless that woman for being here tonight after being thrown onto a sickening pile of thumbtacks at Battleground," Corey Graves stated as Alexa made her way down to the ring. Alexa took a microphone and confronted Kaitlyn. "... You left me. I was in the most vulnerable state that I've ever been at Battleground. I laid in this ring with thumbtacks piercing my flesh, and what did you do when I extended my hands out and asked you for help? You walked away. Kaitlyn, do I need to remind you who's keeping you relevant in WWE?" Alexa asked, Kaitlyn snatching the microphone out of her tiny hands. "Relevant?! Really, Alexa?! You want to talk about keeping somebody relevant?! Did you forget who even made YOU relevant?! Who was the one who put you in the TLC match between AJ Lee and Sofia Cortez?! I gave you your break in this company, and at Battleground, when I saw you lying helplessly on a pile of thumbtacks... that's when I realized the mistake that I made. I put you in the position to become Women's Champion and carry the title into WrestleMania. I created a monster. Everything that you've accomplished thus far is my fault, Alexa. And every time I was in this ring with you heading into Battleground, I had to listen to you spew your crap over and over and over again! 'I'm the champion! I'm unstoppable! I'm the greatest of all-time!' Every week, it was the same damn story! Emma, Billie Kay and Peyton Royce were all willing to kiss your ass, but not me. All I want to do is kick it and right now, I easily could. But you know what? I'm gonna let you walk away tonight in one piece... but someday, Alexa, I will destroy the monster that I created. I WILL be the one who takes that Women's Championship from you! Not AJ. Not Sofia. Me!" Kaitlyn threw the microphone down before exiting the ring, leaving a fuming Alexa Bliss behind. The match at WrestleMania XXX for the Women's Title is still a one-on-one encounter between Alexa and AJ, but this week, we've seen both Sofia and Kaitlyn stake their claims at the championship.
A promo was shown for next week's edition of NXT. In a Steel Cage match, Emma puts the NXT Women's Championship on the line against Bayley. Will Emma be able to escape with her championship intact without the assistance of her Iconic stablemates, Billie Kay and Peyton Royce? Plus, The Lucha Dragons battle Jason Jordan and Chad Gable for the chance to jump ahead in contention for the NXT Tag Team Championships, and Rich Swann signs his official NXT contract. WWE NXT, next Wednesday night on the WWE Network.
Returning to the BMO Bradley Harris Center, the entrance music of Randy Orton sounded to a great response from the WWE Universe. 'The Viper' made his way out to the stage after making his return this past Monday on RAW, taking out the man who put him on the shelf, Kevin Owens. Orton slowly made his way down to the ring, stopping at ringside to stare at the part of the ring apron that Owens Powerbombed him onto last month. Orton took a microphone and started off by saying that he's gotten to the point in his career where the tables have seemingly turned on him. "What happens when 'The Legend Killer' becomes a legend himself? When I started my WWE career twelve years ago, I used bigger names to make statements and establish myself as the most dominant competitor in this ring. Now... people like Kevin Owens want to use my name to elevate themselves. I'll give credit where credit is due at least. Owens showed the kind of aggression that makes somebody a WWE superstar when he Powerbombed me onto the ring apron and tried to end my career. The problem, Owens, is that you couldn't get the job done. When to take a shot at Randy Orton, you better put him down for good because otherwise, 'The Viper' will creep up on you and take your ass down with an RKO! This isn't over between us, Owens. It's not over until one of us finishes off the other for good. I understand that you're not here tonight, but you're not going to be able to run from me much..." Orton said before being cut off by a familiar entrance theme. "What the..." said Mauro Ranallo when Kenny and Mikey of the Spirit Squad walked through the curtain. "It's the Spirit Squad, Ranallo! The Spirit Squad is back!" Corey Graves shouted with enthusiasm while the WWE Universe watched in confusion. Kenny and Mikey ran down to the ring, Mike jumping in circles around Orton before he and Kenny began speaking. "K-E-N-N-Y! M-I-K-E-Y! The comeback of the century!" they cheered in unison with each other while Orton continued to glare at them. "The word on the street is that WrestleMania this year is all about spirit! But how can you have any spirit without The Spirit Squad?!" Kenny said before Mikey asked Orton where his spirit was. "It's WrestleMania season, Randy! Now isn't the time to be seeking vengeance and retribution. Now's the time to show your spirit and embrace it!" The Spirit Squad continued jumping around before Orton asked them why they were interrupting him. "I know you guys haven't been around in quite some time, but even back then, you two should have understood that getting in the way of Randy Orton can only lead to very, very bad things." Mikey told Orton that he and Kenny meant no disrespect for him. "In fact, we're out here with a proposal for you? Like we said, WrestleMania season is all about spirit. Something that you're obviously lacking right now. But, have no fear! Turn that frown upside down because we present you with the offer of a lifetime to become one of us! We even got a cheer ready to persuade you!" Kenny said before he and Mikey turned to the hard camera. "Ready? Okay! Kevin Owens tried, but he did not prevail! 'The Viper' took you down and thew you off the rails! When you stand across from Orton and go toe-to-toe, you face his wrath and eat an R-K..." Ironically, before the Spirit Squad could finish their cheer, Orton turned Mikey around and planted him with an RKO! Orton stood to his feet and glared at Kenny, who did not hesitate to back down from 'The Viper.' Orton stared Kenny down from a distance while Mikey remained lifeless in the ring behind him. Orton's declaration of war against Kevin Owens was interrupted by the most unlikely of guests, but just like Owens this past Monday, the Spirit Squad learned the hard way that crossing paths with Orton only has one possible outcome: RKO.
In the backstage, an ecstatic Bobby Roode was shown leaving the BMO Bradley Harris Center after being named the new Intercontinental Champion earlier tonight as a result of CM Punk's no-show in their match. Renee Young caught up with Roode, asking if he believes that he deserves to be the Intercontinental Champion simply because Punk didn't show up for their match. "What kind of a question is that? Of course I deserve to be the Intercontinental Champion! I made it very clear to CM Punk what would happen if he didn't show up here tonight and what happened? Punk showed just how much of a coward he is. This has nothing to do with Team AJ Styles hurting his little feelings at Battleground. Punk was afraid of coming to SmackDown tonight because he knew that no matter, he was going to lose the Intercontinental Championship to me. So what did he do? He decided to take the easy way out and hand the title over to me. This is my moment and nobody is going to ruin that. I don't have the championship in my possession right now, but I've made the necessary phone calls and I will have the gold that belongs to me soon enough. Next Monday on RAW, there's going to a celebration to officially coronate me as the brand new Intercontinental Champion. And Renee... it will simply be... GLORIOUS!"
Back in the arena, the entrance music of Allie sounded to the joy of the WWE Universe members in Milwaukee. The assistant to Stephanie McMahon and Dario Cueto made her way out to the stage, clearly nervous about competing in her very first WWE match here tonight. Allie was supposed to square off with Paige on the Battleground Kickoff, but 'The Anti-Diva' refused to fight Allie since she had no hostility toward her. An irate Stephanie instead forced Allie to make her in-ring debut here tonight against an opponent of her choosing. Allie stepped into the ring and waited in a corner, breathing rapidly as she had no clue as to who her opponent could be.
"Quiet on the set! Can we please have quiet on the set?!"
ALLIE DEF. MARYSE W/ UNITED STATES CHAMPION THE MIZ VIA DISQUALIFICATION: Allie's opponent turned out to be the longest-reigning Divas Champion in history, who was making her first in-ring appearance in almost three years. Accompanied by the United States Champion The Miz, Maryse spent much of the contest simply bullying Allie. She kicked Allie in the mid-section before throwing her onto canvas, Miz applauding her from ringside. "Miz and Maryse are already two of the most hated superstars on the roster today because of their rivalry with Daniel Bryan. Treating Allie this way doesn't help at all," Mauro Ranallo stated. Maryse had a headlock in on Allie before the latter began fighting back. Allie freed herself before running the ropes, only for Miz to trip her from underneath the bottom rope. The official, however, caught Miz in the act and disqualified Maryse. The rejoice of the WWE Universe was very short-lived as Maryse responded to the result before planting Allie onto her head with the French Kiss DDT. Miz joined Maryse in the ring, the two of them standing tall over Allie while 'The Awesome One' began a "Yes!" chant that only resulted in even more boos for him.
Backstage, Cathy Kelley was shown standing by with TJ Perkins, who had an announcement to make pertaining to WrestleMania. Perkins stated that coming into the WWE during WrestleMania season, he knew that he would have to twice as hard as before to prove his worth to the WWE Universe. "I really feel like I've accomplished what I set out to do, but now, it's time to take things to the next level. That's why I'm officially entering myself into Dario Cueto's Unique Opportunity Battle Royal. And in my WrestleMania debut, I'm going to shock the world by winning and becoming a free agent." Just as Cathy was wishing Perkins luck in the Battle Royal, Austin Aries stepped into the picture. Aries, who was eating a banana, told Perkins that it was very brave of him to declare himself a Battle Royal participant after only being a WWE superstar for a few weeks now. "But, um, you're not going to win. That's because somebody else is making their WrestleMania debut in the Unique Opportunity Battle Royal. Somebody who actually deserves to be the only free agent on the roster. Somebody who actually has proven their worth around here. Somebody who just happens to be 'The Greatest Man That Ever Lived.'" Aries arrogantly smirked at Perkins before leaving the interview, two new participants confirmed for Dario Cueto's Unique Opportunity Battle Royal at WrestleMania.
WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS THE NEW DAY W/ XAVIER WOODS DEF. THE PRIME TIME PLAYERS: "Awwwwww Milwaukee! Don't you dare be sour! Clap for your world famous Tag Team Champs and feel the power! It's a New Day, yes it is!" In New Day's first appearance as the WWE Tag Team Champions, the WWE Universe got behind them after gaining respect for the trio that overcame a 3-1 deficit to win the Best of Seven Series at Battleground. Xavier Woods successfully got the audience to chant "New! Day rocks!" during this contest, the power of positivity emanating from the crowd aiding Kofi Kingston and Big E in their win over The Prime Time Players. During New Day's post-match celebration, the entrance music of The Alpha Wolves sounded. Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards made their way down to the ring, the duo confronting New Day after the conclusion of their series that had been ongoing since December. "The first thing we want to say... is congratulations," Richard said, New Day seemingly taken aback by the comment. "We had more than enough chances to put you guys away in the Best of Seven Series, but we failed. And I don't think there's any room for doubt left as to who the best tag team in the world is today. You guys proved it on Sunday and for that, we want to say thank you for the some of the toughest, and best matches of our careers," Edwards said to New Day. Richards added that he and Edwards are entitled to a rematch, but the truth is that they don't believe they deserve it right now. "If we couldn't beat you guys in four matches, we're not worthy of even one more until we prove that we deserve it. We'll work our way back into title contention the right way, and sooner than later, we'll be seeing you guys in this ring one more time for those Tag Team Championships." Richards and Edwards extended their hands out to New Day, all three members accepting the kind gesture. The crowd cheered as New Day and Alpha Wolves raised each other's arms, the two units showing respect for each other after a hellacious Best of Seven Series.
In the closing moments of tonight's edition of SmackDown, the entrance music Paige hit to the biggest ovation of the evening. 'The Anti-Diva' stepped out onto the stage with a large duffle bag in one hand and a small black bag in the other. Paige made her way down to the ring, where she set the bags down before taking a microphone. She started off by saying that while the last few months of her life have been a nightmare, Monday was the first step towards taking everything back. "It started with Derrick Bateman, and I did exactly what I set out to do. I put Bateman behind me after I pinned him in the middle of this ring, but one target remains for me to slay. You guys have heard by now that after RAW went off the air, I laid out a challenge to Bray Wyatt. Now, allow me to elaborate on exactly where my head is at right now. This rivalry between Bray Wyatt and myself started when he stuck his nose where it didn't belong and cost me the one chance I had to defeat Stephanie McMahon at Hell in a Cell. This whole thing started in Hell... and that's exactly where it's going to end. People think I'm out of my mind for even thinking about challenging Wyatt to a Hell in a Cell match, but those are the same people who said I wouldn't make it out of the Casket match at Survivor Series alive. Those are the same people who said I didn't stand a chance in the Royal Rumble match. Those are the same people who said I wouldn't walk out of WarGames in one piece. People have doubted my every move, yet I'm still standing here."
Paige stopped her promo briefly to open the small black bag, pouring out thumbtacks in a circle around her. She then opened the duffle bag and took out her signature barbed wire baseball bat, setting it down in front of her.
"My challenge to Bray Wyatt isn't much of a challenge anymore. I knew that as soon as Stephanie found out that I wanted a Hell in a Cell match at WrestleMania, she'd give it to me in hope that I'll finally be put out of my misery there. And you know what? It worked because when I showed up to the building tonight, I was informed that the match is official. At WrestleMania, Hell in a Cell will surround Bray Wyatt and myself as we finish this once and for all. We're both going to get hurt. We're both going to bleed. This isn't going to be pretty, people. This will be the most violent match that the WWE has ever seen, and that's because it needs to be. Bray Wyatt and I need to practically kill each other because that's what this calls for. I'm going to make him suffer for everything that he's done to me and my family. For opening the wounds that... that my unborn child scarred me with. Bray Wyatt will cease to exist at WrestleMania, and I'm aware that I'm going to as well. There's a strong possibility that WrestleMania will be the final time anybody sees me in this ring, but I'm willing to sacrifice my career at only 21 years of age if it means defeating Wyatt. The only promise I can make right now is that we're both going to need to be carried out of this ring after Hell in a Cell. I know what I'm getting myself into, and I wouldn't have it any other. This is what I have to do. Bray Wyatt pushed me to this point, and he's going to find out what happens when you pick a fight with a tormented soul who has nothing left to lose."
Paige reached into the duffle bag one more time and brought out a light tube, holding it over her shoulder like a sword.
"So come on, Bray. Let's go to Hell together."

- Knowing Bray Wyatt he will gladly accept Paige's challenge because Bray Wyatt loves chaos he loves pain he loves to make Paige suffer and for her to pick Hell in a Cell Paige really is out of her mind if she thinks she stands any chance against Bray Wyatt especially in such a demonic structure such as Hell in a Cell...really really stupid on her part because Bray Wyatt in a structure like Hell in a Cell it is a match that he is made for...it really works in his favor and the only other time Paige has been inside Hell in a Cell was when she faced Stephanie and she lost so if she goes in there again this time with Bray Wyatt she is essentially signing her own death warrant because there is a very big difference between Paige and Bray Wyatt
- Kaitlyn facing off against the WWE Women's Champion Alexa Bliss next week on RAW...if Kaitlyn can pin or make the champion submit then I would say that also puts her in the discussion as far as the WWE Women's Championship
- WWE Tag Team Champions New Day beating Prime Time Players...I mean The New Day ever since they won the titles beating The Alpha Wolves in a Best of 7 Series in order to capture the titles I mean they have been on a hot streak virtually and it continues with yet another win but then Eddie Edwards & Davey Richards the former champions come out and surprisingly they congratulate The New Day...now that that I definitely was not expecting that's for sure but at the same time The Alpha Wolves do have a rematch clause but yet they are not going to use it I wonder why? Even if they are not deserving in their minds they are still entitled to a rematch but then if they don't decide to use their rematch clause then where does that leave The Alpha Wolves as far as WrestleMania XXX goes? I mean The New Day are going to have to defend those titles at Mania but then who will be their opponents if The Alpha Wolves are stepping aside?
- Unique Battle Royal participants being named one by one well the first name we got was The Big Dog The One Man Army Roman Reigns and now TJ Perkins and Austin Aries are in this Battle Royal...I am still picking Roman Reigns to win this Battle Royal and become a free agent I mean unless bigger names join in on this Battle Royal
- Allie in her first match she wins via DQ by beating Miz's wife Maryse...this is probably the first match Maryse has had in a WWE ring since 2011 so like 3 years Maryse hasn't been in that ring and she obviously doesn't have any ring rust I mean it definitely showed as far as her having more in ring experience than Allie but Maryse losing by DQ well in a sense it puts over Allie but at the same time it gives Maryse even more heat considering her husband the WWE United States Champion The Miz caused the DQ and Maryse planting Allie with a French Kiss DDT...I wonder if because of her and her husband if that is the last time we ever see Daniel Bryan or his wife Brie Bella?
- Roode I mean yeah sure he may be the WWE Intercontinental Champion but he didn't even win the title fair and square he didn't make Punk tap out he didn't even pin Punk...Punk no showed the match and Roode was awarded the title I mean if that doesn't give Roode more heel heat I don't know what will and deep down Roode even he has to know that he didn't earn the title the right way it was essentially given to him by forfeit because if Roode had faced Punk it probably would have been a different story...but Roode having a coronation as WWE Intercontinental Champion I wonder just who will crash that coronation party? Perhaps CM Punk or it will be someone else entirely
- Randy Orton calling out Kevin Owens but instead of Kevin Owens he gets a shocker...that shocker being none other than The Spirit Squad Kenny Dykstra and Mikey I mean definitely unexpected they are the last people who I would have expected and the last time anyone has seen The Spirit Squad on WWE TV was 2006...8 years they haven't been seen and Orton laying out both Kenny and Mikey single-handedly with RKOs I mean direct message being sent to Owens but an even bigger message that Orton could have sent would have been him punting Kenny and Mikey in the skull but I can definitely see it being Orton vs Owens at WrestleMania XXX
- Kaitlyn beating Veda Scott...I mean this essentially was a squash match for Kaitlyn a way to re-establish her as a dominant diva and I for one can actually understand that but at the same time with that dominant win she comes face to face with the WWE Women's Champion Alexa Bliss and a war of words between Kaitlyn and Alexa Bliss I mean Alexa Bliss she wouldn't even be WWE Women's Champion or even be in the position she is in today because of Kaitlyn...Kaitlyn gave her that chance and Alexa Bliss wants to say that she is the one who has or who is making Kaitlyn relevant...I mean it is only a matter of time before Kaitlyn feuds with Alexa Bliss...could this be a face turn for Kaitlyn?
- With Jericho and Christian getting back together and becoming a tag team once again for the first time in 10 years a decade that these 2 have not been an effective tag team and now that they are back together it is almost like Ruthless Aggression 2003-04 with these 2 teaming together and now fast forward 10 years later these 2 are back together again and are now throwing their names into the WWE Tag Team division...I mean with these 2 and now The Revival and then the reunited tag team of The Kings of Wrestling Ohno & Cesaro I mean the tag team division is heating up because you have all these teams stepping up to the plate but who will be the ones who challenge the WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day for the titles at WrestleMania XXX?
- Samoa Joe beating Baron Corbin...I mean if you definitely want to re-establish Joe as a dominant monster than him beating Corbin definitely was necessary and ever since Samoa Joe has burst on to the scene here coming from TNA to WWE he essentially has been dominant but then that dominance came to an end at the hands of The Monster Among Men Braun Strowman...Joe/Strowman rivalry continuing I mean after this I think it is safe to say we get Joe/Strowman at WrestleMania XXX

In a video exclusive to WWE's YouTube channel uploaded Monday afternoon, Allie was shown walking into the office of Dario Cueto, who had the duty of informing her of a decision made by RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon over the weekend.
Dario: "How've you been?"
Allie: "Fine, Mr. Dario. My head still hurts from Maryse's DDT, but I got hit in the head with a rock one time in middle school, so I'm used to it.
*Dario stared at Allie in confusion*
Dario: "... Okay. Anyway, the reason I asked you here is because Stephanie contacted me over the weekend. She's still with Shane because of his attack, so she won't be here tonight, But she did run an idea by me. It's one that I wasn't very eager to agree with, but after thinking it through a bit more, I decided that this is what's best for all parties involved. Tonight, you're going to have a rematch against Maryse, only this time, there's going to be a bit of a... twist. Stephanie had the idea of naming a special guest referee for this match."
Allie: "A special guest referee? Okay. Okay, that's fine."
Dario: "It's The Miz."
Allie: "That's not fine! The Miz literally tripped me on SmackDown, Mr. Dario. I... I can't trust him as the referee."
Dario: "Which is exactly what I told Stephanie at first, but then, I realized something. Imagine the look on Stephanie's face if you managed to pull this off. The best way to get back at those stacking the deck against you is to slap them right across the face with the hand you've been dealt."
Allie: "But isn't beating Maryse while her husband is the referee impossible?"
Dario: "Not if you figure out a way to do it. And you're a smart girl, Allie. I know you can come up with something."
Allie: "... Okay, Mr. Dario. I still don't feel good about all of this, but... but if you really think I have the potential to beat Maryse, then I'll do my very best to make you proud, sir."
Dario: "Good."
*While Allie was about to leave the room, she stopped and noticed a picture frame on Dario's desk. The picture looked to be rather old and featured a woman holding an infant in her arms with a young boy standing beside them*
Dario: "Was there something you wanted?"
Allie: "Oh, no, sir. I was just looking at that picture on your desk. Is that by any chance you in it?"
Dario: "As a matter of fact, it is. That's me and my mother."
Allie: "You and your mother?"
Dario: "Yeah. That's what just said. This was taken on my eighth birthday."
Allie: "But... but there's a baby in the picture as well."
Dario: "..........."
Allie: "... Who's that baby?"
*Dario stood against his desk with one hand inching closer and closer to a bull statue*
Dario: "Allie, unlike a certain other authority figure around here, I actually like you. Don't give me a reason to change my mind."
Allie: "Sir, I was just... I was just asking a question."
Dario: "And there are some questions that you don't need the answers to. Do you understand me?"
*Noticing Dario's sudden increase in hostility, Allie left the room*

- Yes I too wonder who the baby in the photo was was it Dario as a baby? Or perhaps Dario the RAW GM has a brother or a sister we don't know about

March 3rd, 2014 - Following the signature WWE intro, footage from earlier in the day showed Paige arriving to the Allstate Arena for Monday Night RAW, the fans in Rosemont responding with nothing but cheers for 'The Anti-Diva.' When Paige turned a corner, she met a man in a Wyatt Family mask, maintaining a stern, upright position the entire time. "... Okay, what the hell?" Paige asked the unknown man before he slowly extended his hand out, giving her an envelope. Paige released her suitcase handle to open the envelope with both hands, soon pulling out a mysterious calling card of sort. The card was black and featured The Wyatt Family's insignia on the back of it.
"The Family's all here. Meet us in the ring tonight. Come alone."
As Paige was reading the card while trying to decipher exactly what it meant, the mysterious messenger began grazing the side of Paige's face with his hand. Paige immediately grabbed the man by his head and knee'd him in the sternum. Paige threw him against the wall and began repeatedly kicking him in his ribs before being restrained by officials. "Paige, calm down!" one of them said as she was pulled away, 'The Anti-Diva' breathing heavily before looking down at the ground to see the calling card that she dropped. Paige picked up the card as well as her belongings and continued on to the locker room area.
Cutting to the Allstate Arena, the entrance music of Bobby Roode sounded to a mixed response from the masses in Illinois. 'The Glorious One' appeared on the stage, lights shining down on him as if he were a deity as opposed to someone who was about to accept the Intercontinental Championship off of a forfeit victory by CM Punk last Friday on SmackDown. Roode stepped off of his rotating podium and made his way down to the ring, where both SmackDown General Manager Kurt Angle and a stand with a black cloth over it awaited him. Roode entered the ring and took a microphone, his music silencing as the "CM Punk" chants became even more audible than they were before. "This all too perfect. Way, way too perfect. You all can keep chanting for CM Punk all you want, but the fact of the matter is that last Friday on SmackDown, your precious so-called 'Best in the World' showed his true colors. He gave up. He quit. He left every single one of you high and dry and is never going to look back. Cherish this moment because the WWE Universe now has an Intercontinental Champion who you can all be proud. Wouldn't you agree, Kurt?" Roode asked his Bound for Glory 2011 adversary. Angle was hesitant to speak up, acknowledging in his mind that Roode was undeserving of the Intercontinental Title. "... Whatever the circumstances may be surrounding your victory on SmackDown, Bobby, as of last Friday, you are recognized as the WWE Intercontinental Champion. So, was this coronation really necessary?" Angle asked, Roode telling him that it indeed was. "Because for some of these idiots, visualization is their only form of validation. In order for the WWE Universe to understand that Bobby Roode is their brand new Intercontinental Champion, they need to see it with their own eyes. It took a bit of time, but I pulled the strings. I made the arrangements. I made every phone call that I needed to in order to acquire what is rightfully mine... and it's right here." Roode then removed the black cloth that covered the mysterious stand to reveal the Intercontinental Championship. Roode took the title and raised it high in the air, asking Rosemont if they accepted reality then at that point. "Look at this! It's official now! Bobby Roode is holding the Intercontinental Championship, and from this moment on... the Road to WrestleMania has finally become... GLORIO-"
Right before Roode could finish his signature phrase, "Cult of Personality" began playing to an absolutely monstrous ovation. Roode glared at the stage, initially not taking the scenario seriously. “Calm down! He’s not actually here! Don’t get your hopes up!” he shouted at the masses that continued to go wild. Roode raised the Intercontinental Championship in an attempt to steer the celebration back into the direction that he intended. However, everything went to hell for him when CM Punk really did emerge from the backstage area. “The REAL Intercontinental Champion has just changed the complexity of this entire night! Chicago’s own CM Punk is here!” Mauro Ranallo exclaimed as Punk unzipped his jacket, showing the Intercontinental Title still around his waist. “No! That title means nothing! I’m the real champion!” Roode screamed at ‘The Best in the World’ as the latter slowly made his way down to the ring, hood still up over his head. Punk entered the ring and stood face-to-face with Roode, raising his Intercontinental Championship that could be presumed to be the authentic one. Punk and Roode held their respective Intercontinental Titles, Angle stepping in between them before things could get physical. The chants of Punk’s name continued before Punk asked Angle for his microphone, the SmackDown General Manager complying. “… You want your title shot?” Punk asked Roode, who was irate since he truly believed that he was the rightful Intercontinental Champion. “You can walk around here raising that replice all you want, but until you beat CM Punk, you’re not a champion, Bobby.” Punk walked toward a corner, removing his jacket as Roode continued to air his grievances. “You had your chance to defend the Intercontinental Title against me on SmackDown! You didn’t show up! You quit in front of the entire world and now, I’M the Intercontinental Champion!” Punk slowly turned around and walked toward Roode, simply telling him, “I’m here now, right?” Roode tried reasoning with Angle, stating his case that Punk didn't show up on SmackDown, thus making him the one true Intercontinental Champion. Drowning out Roode's voice was the WWE Universe thunderously chanting Punk's name, perhaps influencing Angle's eventual decision.
"... Can I get a referee out here?"
Upon Angle's request, the fans in the Allstate Arena came unglued while Punk sat cross-legged in a corner, Roode continuing his temper tantrum. Once the official arrived, Angle made his way over to the ringside area and began speaking with Justin Roberts in a conversation that the camera was able to pick up.
"Intercontinental Championship match between CM Punk and Bobby Roode right now. Go ahead and announce it."
► CM PUNK DEF. BOBBY ROODE TO RETAIN THE INTERCONTINENTL CHAMPIONSHIP: Much to the chagrin of Bobby Roode, he was not the true Intercontinental Champion like he had believed ever since SmackDown last week. If he wanted to call himself the rightful champion, he needed to go through the reigning and defending title holder, CM Punk. 'The Best in the World' had his hometown audience backing him all the way, Roode trying his best to not let the fans' choice of allegiance get to him. After Punk missed his running knee strike into a corner, Roode threw Punk onto the canvas and rolled him up with his feet on the middle rope. The official, however, managed to catch Roode in the act before he could complete the count. He scolded Roode for his tactics before 'The Glorious One' returned to Punk. He set the Chicago native up for the Glorious DDT, but Punk was able to counter the maneuver by hoisting Roode onto his shoulders. Punk charged into a corner and smashed the back of Roode's head and neck against the top turnbuckle, dazing him before delivering the Go To Sleep! Punk covered Roode, picking up the win to solidify himself as the undisputed Intercontinental Champion,
The fans in the Allstate Arena rejoiced as CM Punk rose to his feet, the official handing him back his Intercontinental Championship. Punk raised the title in the air, a sight that the WWE Universe was unsure of seeing again after his recent change in behavior. "None of us were sure what's been going on in the head of CM Punk. He's felt betrayed by those close to him, but what we learned tonight is that the fire within 'The Best in the World' still burns," Corey Graves said in a nod to Punk's previous entrance music. The Intercontinental Champion then asked for a microphone, catching his breath before beginning to speak to the fans in his hometown.
"I know that as of late, there's been a lot of rumors and speculation regarding my future in the WWE, just like a few years ago when I turned this company upside down. You all remember, right? I walked into this very building with one foot out the door and I became the WWE Champion. I re-signed shortly thereafter for another three years, and the date that my contract expires is quickly approaching. After recent events, I took some time to think about where my career is at right now and where I would like for it to go. Ultimately, I decided that if I was going to make a decision, there wouldn't be a better place to make it than right here in the greatest city on earth. That being said, I had two things that I wanted to accomplish here tonight before announcing my plans for the future. The first was to defend the Intercontinental Title against Bobby Roode on my time and my own terms. The second... was to call out a particular superstar and speak to him face-to-face, man-to-man. So... Cody Rhodes. If you would, I'd really appreciate it if you could meet me in this ring right now."
Punk stood idly in the squared circle, waiting to see if Cody Rhodes would indeed accept his invitation. A few seconds later, Rhodes' entrance music sounded to another positive response from the WWE Universe. 'The Prince of Pro Wrestling' walked out onto the stage, appearing to be cautious of Punk. "We saw the tension between these two leading up to the WarGames match. Rhodes recruited Punk for Team AJ Styles, but over time, Punk's trust in Rhodes began to dwindle," Mauro Ranallo stated to remind the fans at home of the situation between the two top-tier superstars. Rhodes stepped into the ring, Punk assuring him that he had nothing to worry about.
"Thank you for coming out here, Cody. It really means a lot to me because I've been waiting weeks to do this," were Punk's only words before hitting Rhodes in the skull with the microphone!
"No! Punk, what are you doing?!" Ranallo yelled out as Punk began unloading with right hand shots to Rhodes' forehead, the fans in the Allstate Arena unsure how to react. Their hometown hero was brutally assaulting Rhodes right before their eyes, and seemingly because of his own paranoia over people stabbing him in the back. Punk picked Rhodes up and threw him out to ringside, the barricade and the steel steps in that order. SmackDown General Manager Kurt Angle arrived to the scene, turned Punk around. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" Kurt asked, Punk responding with a very audible, " you!" The Intercontinental Champion got a hold of Rhodes, who was trying to crawl away from him. Punk lifted Rhodes up in a vertical suplex position, dropping him ribs-first onto the surface of the announce table. Rhodes gasped for air, not being allowed any time to recoup before Punk placed him on his shoulders for the Go To Sleep. While a portion of the audience still backed their hometown "hero," the majority were still unsure how to respond. Punk grabbed the Intercontinental Championship and stood over Rhodes' fallen body, 'The Best in the World' staring down at his now-former friend with a blank expression. Punk raised the title to a mixed reaction, Angle shouting at him to leave the area.
Returning from the commercial break, a recap was shown of the previous segment that saw CM Punk, just moments after retaining his Intercontinental Championship against Bobby Roode, heinously attack Cody Rhodes. “Some people will call it shocking,” Corey Graves said before continuing on. “But I think ultimately, this is what we should’ve seen coming. CM Punk has always looked out for himself and the second that he felt the WWE Universe and superstars like Cody Rhodes beginning to deem his useless, he snapped. I’m not advocating Punk’s actions necessarily, but I think I get a grasp of why he did what he just did.”
► BRAUN STROWMAN DEF. RUSEV: The rivalry started off the build-up to the Monster’s Ball match at Battleground was finally given closure in Braun Strowman’s first appearance since winning the aforementioned contest eight days ago. Rusev, who desperately needed this victory, battered Strowman to the point where some in the WWE Universe genuinely believed that ‘The Monster Among Men’ was about to suffer his first loss. After four kicks to Strowman’s head, Rusev was able to down him to the point where he could apply The Accolade. Rusev had the hold cinched in, but in another inhuman show of strength, Strowman was able to stand up on his feet while carrying Rusev on his back! “Are you kidding me?!” Corey Graves exclaimed before Strowman dropped Rusev onto his back. Strowman placed Rusev on one of his shoulders, planting him with the Running Powerslam to get the victory. Post-match, Strowman took a microphone and addressed Samoa Joe’s challenge from SmackDown last Friday. “Samoa Joe, you’ve witnessed first-hand the kind of destruction that I leave behind, yet you still want to stand up to ‘The Monster Among Men.’ That’s fine because you do have a point about something. I’ve beaten Rusev. I’ve beaten Baron Corbin, but I'm not finished with you. Let’s not only settle this, but let’s throw the rulebook out again. You and me, one-on-one, No Disqualifications. Joe, learn the hard way why I am the WWE's one true monster." Strowman raised his arms and let out a huge shout, laying out the challenge to Samoa Joe for a final encounter next week in a No Disqualifications match.
Backstage, Allie was shown in the office of RAW General Manager Dario Cueto, his assistant still clearly nervous about her match tonight against Maryse which will see the United States Champion The Miz serve as the special guest referee. "I know you said that I could find a way to win, Mr. Dario. But, the more I think about it, the more I feel like I'm hopeless," said a very distraught Allie. "Listen, Allie. Everything is going to be okay. I do believe that there is a way to win and whatever that may be, you will find it. This isn't going to be easy because we all know how The Miz is going to call this match, but you have the heart to stand up to someone like him. You do it every week to Stephanie," he said. "But I don't even mean to stand up to her. I just do it by accident." Before Dario could continue motivating Allie, Dean Ambrose walked into the room. "Sup, boss? Hey, Allie. I was just wondering what I'm doing tonight?" Ambrose asked Dario. "Right... here's the thing, Dean. I don't have anything planned for you this evening for your own safety," Dario said, Ambrose becoming confused. "For my... for my safety? Dario, brother. I appreciate you looking out for me, but do you know who I am? Do you know the kind of wars I've gone through? What's one match in Chicago gonna do to me? Huh? I live for violence." Dario then responded to Ambrose. "And so do I, but this is a different type of altercation that I'm trying to save you from, Dean. Nothing gets by me in this company. I've heard a few rumblings over the past few days that concern you. For various reasons, I can't tell you anything. But, what I can do is strongly advice you to get out of the arena while you still can. You just have to trust me on this." Ambrose turned to Allie, asking if she knew what Dario was talking about. "No, Mr. Lunatic. I don't." Ambrose gathered his thoughts for a moment before telling Dario that he would just stick around the Allstate Arena for a bit longer to see exactly what it is that he's supposed to be avoiding.
► RANDY ORTON DEF. KENNY W/ MIKEY: After the unexpected return of The Spirit Squad on SmackDown was ruined by Randy Orton, Kenny competed in his first WWE bout in over five years against 'The Viper.' Mikey attempted to sway the momentum in the favor of Kenny by cheering on his tag team partner from ringside, but nonetheless, Orton pulverized one-half of the duo. Eventually, Mikey decided that he needed to intervene. He looked underneath the ring and brought out a trampoline, positioning it in front of the ring. Mikey backed up and ran down the entrance ramp, jumping on the trampoline and into the ring. While Mikey was soaring through the air, Orton caught him with an RKO! Orton rose to his feet while the WWE Universe went wild. Kenny staggered to his feet shortly thereafter, only to be on the receiving end of an RKO as well. Orton got the cover on Kenny to pick up the victory, following up by posing on the second turnbuckle while glaring at the WrestleMania XXX sign. "'The Viper' has only two things on his mind right now: WrestleMania and revenge against Kevin Owens," said Corey Graves.
In the locker room area, Paige was shown sitting against the wall while looking at the calling card she received earlier, presumably from The Wyatt Family. 'The Anti-Diva' placed the card on the floor for a moment before looking up at the ceiling, wandering off and thinking about the potential danger that she could be walking into tonight. Suddenly, the light bulb in the room exploded, startling Paige and leaving her in darkness. At that moment, a baby's laughter could be heard in the room, Paige asking who was there. The laughter continued until a lantern appeared in front of Paige, brightening the room enough for her to finally be able to see thoroughly. She looked over at the calling card, noticing that it was no longer the calling card. Instead, it was now a sonogram.
► ALLIE DEF. MARYSE WITH THE MIZ AS THE SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE: Despite not being present in the Allstate Arena, RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon still found a way to stack the deck against her assistant, Allie. As expected throughout the contest, The Miz was as far-removed from impartial as any official could be. Any time Allie had the cover on Maryse, he refused to make the count. Whenever Maryse was the one with the upperhand, Allie would have only a small window to kick out since Miz performed fast counts. Toward the conclusion, Maryse and Allie took each other out with Clotheslines, Miz proceeding to assist his wife to her feet before starting the count against Allie. Miz reached five when the fans in Rosemont suddenly came unglued. Daniel Bryan charged into the ring through the crowd, immediately taking down Miz! "Daniel Bryan is here and he's finally got his hands on The Miz!" Mauro Ranallo said ecstatically after it was presumed that Bryan's career came to an end at Battleground. Miz rolled out of the ring, Bryan holding onto his referee shirt to try to prevent him from escaping. Instead, Miz fought his way out of the shirt that Bryan kept his grip on before grabbing his United States Championship and running up the entrance ramp. "Yes!" chants filled the atmosphere while Maryse called for her husband to get back into the ring. Maryse was then turned around by Allie, who lifted her onto her shoulders for a Death Valley Driver! Seeing an opportunity to get back at Maryse for her actions against Brie Bella last week, Bryan put the referee shirt on and made the three count! "No! That does not count! Daniel Bryan was not the official!" Corey Graves said after the bell sounded, no one else taking the time to question the legitimacy of Allie's win. Bryan raised Allie's hand while she was announced as the victor, the assistant to Stephanie and Dario Cuetp hugging Bryan before celebrating her first pinfall win in WWE.
Returning from the commercial break to begin the second hour of Monday Night RAW, Daniel Bryan was shown still in the ring after attacking United States Champion The Miz and aiding Allie in her match against Maryse. The "Yes!" chants from the Rosemont audience had yet to simmer as Bryan took a microphone, calling out Miz. "You said that you would end my career, so come on, Miz. Deliver on that promise. Now's your chance," Bryan said in a serious tone. A few seconds later, Miz made his way out to the stage, holding the United States Title and fuming over the fact that Bryan not only cost Maryse her match against Allie, but that Bryan also humiliated him in front of the world. "Bryan... I'm sick of this. I am sick of these yes chants! I am sick of seeing your face! I am sick of you sticking your nose in my business!" Miz shouted before Bryan cut him off. "Then here's your chance to end it all, Miz! I am not asking you to come into this ring and end my career for good, I am telling you to do it! Or do you not think you're capable of doing that? Because you talked a big game heading into Battleground, yet here I am! Maybe, just maybe, Miz, I was second-guessing whether getting back into this ring was worth it with the condition my body is in, but last week, you gave me all the motivation in the world that I needed to kick your ass when you and Maryse antagonized my wife for no reason other than the fact that I love her. I don't care what any doctor has to say at this point because I don't care what happens to my health anymore. The only thing I want is to make you suffer, Miz." The United States Champion told Bryan that he's already suffering. "For the last four years, suffering is the only thing I've done whenever I'm around you! The second that you walked into this company, everyone was telling me how YOU should've been MY pro on NXT! I've main evented WrestleMania! I've restored prestige to the United States Championship! Yet every time I remind these people just how good I am, their immediate response is that Daniel Bryan is better and I'm sick of it! Sure, fine. I didn't get the job done at Battleground, but if you want to give me another shot to end your career, Bryan, this time, you're not coming back."
Before things could get more heated than they already were, SmackDown General Manager Kurt Angle made his way out into the arena. Having already had his hands full earlier in the night with CM Punk and Cody Rhodes' altercation, Angle tried to calm the situation between Miz and Bryan. "Now's not the time. Just get out of here," Angle said Miz, 'The Awesome One' not complying. "Kurt, you've heard all that you need to from the both of us! Miz wants the rematch! I want the rematch! Everybody in the Allstate Arena and around the world want the rematch!" The fans responded to Bryan's statements with a "Yes!" chant, confirming that they want to witness a final encounter just as badly as Miz and Bryan want to participate in it. "Bryan, this is going to happen on my terms only. If you want this rematch, then meet my demands. I'll put the United States Championship on the line if you put up the one thing you have left to your name. The thing that you just threatened me to end once and for all... your career." Bryan took little time to give his answer to Miz. "You want me to put my career on the line? I was already intending on that because if I can't beat you this time, then my entire career is meaningless. Either I leave this ring with the United States Championship, or I leave it forever."
With the ball now in the court of Kurt Angle, the SmackDown General Manager went ahead and made the match official. This is the end. The four year-long rivalry between two of WWE's most decorated superstars reaches its conclusion. The final encounter between The Miz and Daniel Bryan. Not only will the United States Championship be on the line, but so will the fifteen year legacy that Bryan has built. Title vs. Career at the biggest show in history, WrestleMania XXX.
A promo was shown for this week's edition of NXT. With a Steel Cage surrounding the ring, Billie Kay and Peyton Royce will not be able to lend any hands to NXT Women's Champion Emma when she defends her title against Bayley in a rematch from TakeOver: R Evolution. Plus, Jason Jordan and Chad Gable take on The Lucha Dragons in a match where both teams are looking to rise up the ranks in the division and potentially earn the right to challenge Ricochet and Uhaa Nation for the Tag Team Championships. WWE NXT, this Wednesday night on the WWE Network.
► KAITLYN DEF. WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPION ALEXA BLISS IN A NON-TITLE MATCH VIA DISQUALIFICATION: A first time ever encounter as two former friends collided with major implications on the WWE Women’s Championship going forward. Kaitlyn easily held the strength advantage throughout the match, forcing Alexa Bliss to rely on a more strike-based offense to keep ‘The Hybrid Diva’ at bay. After repeatedly stomping Kaitlyn’s face into the canvas, Alexa charged toward her with a knee strike. Kaitlyn was able to turn the tables and send Alexa to the outside. There, the Women’s Champion quickly went underneath the ring, emerging with something in her hand. She kept her first clenched and to her stomach, not allowing Kaitlyn nor the official to even suspect that she was hiding something. Alexa rolled into the ring, Kaitlyn gearing up for a Spear. While Kaitlyn was in motion, Alexa turned around and smacked her shoulder with a handful of thumbtacks! “Alexa just… she just pierced Kaitlyn and herself with thumbtacks!” Corey Graves exclaimed as Alexa looked at her hand, a few thumbtacks lodged in with blood faintly beginning to drip. ‘Five Feet of Fury’ smiled sadistically, completing the transformation that women like Paige and AJ Lee had undergone over the last year. Alexa finally embraced the violent, malevolent side of the division, and she claimed Kaitlyn as a victim. Kaitlyn’s body trembled as she tried removing the thumbtacks from her shoulder before Alexa went back on the attack. Shockingly, AJ Lee was the one to make the save for Kaitlyn, taking down Alexa and striking her WrestleMania opponent nonstop. Alexa quickly evaded to ringside, AJ staring her down from a distance. Alexa was handed back her Women’s Championship before raising it high in the air for AJ and the WWE Universe to see. AJ motioned for the gold before turning around and receiving a Spear from Kaitlyn! “What the hell was that for?!” Mauro Ranallo asked after Kaitlyn took out the women who had just saved her from further punishment. Kaitlyn held her shoulder that was still decorated with thumbtacks, Alexa mocking the fact that she is not in the Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania by pointing at the sign looming over the Allstate Arena.
Backstage, Dean Ambrose was shown walking down a corridor, looking over his shoulder consistently as he awaited for whatever threat Dario Cueto warned him about. Ambrose soon stopped by a vending machine, reaching into his pocket for a dollar. He inserted the dollar and pressed the necessary buttons to get the item he wanted, the machine not responding afterward. He tapped the surface of the machine a few times before actually trying to push his fingers into the dollar bill slot, soon having to accept the fact that his dollar went to waste. “… Dario was right. I should’ve listened to him,” Ambrose said, the WWE Universe laughing while not being able to tell if he was serious or not. Ambrose continued on his way until he was stopped by two men in suits. “Are you Dean Ambrose?” one of them asked, Ambrose actually saying that he was relieved to see them both. “Listen, I know why you’re here. The machine ate my dollar. All I wanted was a Twix. I’m sure I ain’t the only guy to get scammed by that thing,” Ambrose ranted before being stopped by one of the men. “You’re under arrest for assaulting Shane McMahon.” Ambrose stood still in confusion while one of the men attempted to handcuff. “Whoa, whoa, whoa. You think I attacked Shane?” One of the men told Ambrose they didn’t think he did. They know he did. “Seriously? Who set me up, huh? Who paid you two stooges off? ‘Cause I didn’t attack anybody! Well, I mean… okay, I’ve attacked people recently, yeah. But I didn’t attack Shane!” Neither of the officers were willing to comply with Ambrose, escorting him toward a vehicle while he maintained that he didn’t have anything to do with Shane’s attack.
► CHRIS JERICHO, CHRISTIAN & THE REVIVAL DEF. TYSON KIDD, ADRIAN NEVILLE, ANTONIO CESARO & KASSIUS OHNO: A rematch from last week's RAW as the tag team division continues to heat up on the Road to WrestleMania. "All four of these teams, and even The Alpha Wolves for that matter, have their sights set on the Tag Team Championships, but the reality is that only one pairing will likely have the opportunity to challenge The New Day in New Orleans," said Corey Graves. After Chris Jericho and Christian both shoved Tyson Kidd and Adrian Neville off the top rope during springboard attempts, Kassius Ohno grabbed Christian and tossed him to the outside. Ohno fended off Jericho with a boot before attempting a Rolling Elbow, only to have it countered into a Codebreaker. Cesaro turned Jericho around and pulled him down by his legs, swinging him for several rotations until Scott Dawson hit him with a forearm. Dawson bounced Cesaro off of the ropes and lifted him into the air, Dash Wilder springing into action to deliver the Shatter Machine for the victory. The Revival headed up the entrance ramp, not waiting for either Jericho or Christian to join them in celebration. Not only did the villainous team get revenge for last week, but The Revival have seemingly shifted the momentum in their favor as potential number one contenders for The New Day's WWE Tag Team Championships.
Cutting to the backstage area one final time, Paige was shown walking toward the ring with a barbed wire baseball bat in one hand and the light tube that she introduced to the WWE Universe on SmackDown in the other. 'The Anti-Diva' looked ahead with a blank expression, trying to shield any feelings of fear or anxiety as she prepared for The Wyatt Family's "gathering." Paige suddenly stopped in her tracks, letting out a few deep breaths before setting the baseball bat and light tube down onto a table to the side of her. She continued on her way, deciding to leave the weapons behind for once. This was something that she needed to face on her own without having the comfort of malicious objects to keep her safe. Perhaps she was setting herself up for inevitable doom, but nonetheless, Paige was ready for whatever Bray Wyatt had in store for her. At least, that's what she wanted to believe.
Prior to the start of the closing segment, it was revealed that this Friday on SmackDown, WWE Universal Champion Derrick Bateman and John Cena will meet in a one-on-one, face-to-face confrontation in the ring. Two of the three participants in the Universal Title match at WrestleMania XXX will have their opportunities to speak their minds with no boundaries, this Friday night on SmackDown.
In the Allstate Arena, the entrance music of Paige sounded to a thunderous ovation, rivaling even that of Intercontinental Champion CM Punk before he showed his true colors earlier. Paige stepped out onto the stage, unable to smile at the fans that supported her due to nerves about what could happen to her in this segment. Paige marched down to the ring, looking over to her left and seeing a young girl with a sign that read, "We love Paige." 'The Anti-Diva' faintly mouthed the words, "Thank you," to the girl before stepping into the ring, both Mauro Ranallo and Corey Graves remaining quiet since they, too, had uneasy feelings about this. Paige took a microphone, waiting for her music to silence before speaking. "... Alright, Bray. You told me to come alone, so let's get this over with because I didn't even want to see you until Hell in a Cell at WrestleMania. Come on. Just bring on the mind games already since that's all you're good for." Paige knew that she might have only been getting herself into more danger, but she wasn't going to back down from The Wyatt Family in any way.
The lights in the arena soon shut before the sounds of baby cries from earlier could be heard once again. The cries suddenly came to a stop, and at that moment, a light shined down onto the stage that featured an empty crib. An original rendition of "Hush Little Baby" began playing, the lyrics being as follows.
Hush little baby, don't say a word, Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird. And if that mockingbird don't sing, Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring. And if that diamond ring turns brass, Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass. And if that looking glass gets broke, Mama's gonna buy you a winter cloak. And if that winter cloak's too cold, Mama's gonna buy you a pile of gold. And if that gold was stolen, too, Mama's gonna go to jail for you. So hush little baby, don't say a word, Mama's gonna kill for you the whole damn world.
While the song was playing, a woman dressed in a cloak and Wyatt Family mask walked out onto the stage and poured gasoline into the crib. At the end of the song, she lit a match and dropped into into the crib, engulfing it in flames. The lights went out once again, the flaming crib acting as the only source of light for anyone in the arena. Not too longer thereafter, the signature of The Wyatt Family hit. "Rosemont... we're here!" said Bray Wyatt on the titantron before blowing out his lantern. Wyatt entrance music sounded before he, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan walked into the Allstate Arena, Wyatt glancing over at the burning crib with a huge smile on his face. The trio continued on their way, Paige still in the ring with an expression on her face that some could argue was just a mask to hide her fear. Wyatt took a seat in his rocking chair before blowing out the lantern. When he did so, the lights in the arena came back on and the ring was surrounded by more individuals disguised by Wyatt Family masks. Paige looked around and realized that she was cornered. There was no exit for her.
"Let me ask you something, Paige..." Bray Wyatt said before Erick Rowan handed him a folder that Paige immediately recognized. A few days prior to Survivor Series, Paige was interviewed by Michael Cole and revealed that before joining WWE, she suffered a miscarriage. Letters that she had written for her unborn child were stored in a folder. Wyatt was holding that folder right now and all Paige could do was watch. "Can you say with certainty that you would've been able to properly care for another human being? Did your family treat you well enough so that you could pass on whatever they taught you to a child? Or was your unborn offspring doomed from the start?" Wyatt then handed an even number of letters to Harper and Rowan, the two of them making their way back up to the top of the stage. "No... no! Stop it!" Paige screamed before walking toward the ropes to try to fight her way through and go after The Wyatt Family. When she took her first step, all of Wyatt's disciples who surrounded the ring pulled out daggers, holding them in front of Paige. She looked around and noticed that even those who she was not walking towards had their blades ready to strike. She backed into the center of the ring, now completely hopeless to do anything to stop Wyatt.
Harper and Rowan then proceeded to throw all of the letters into the burning crib, all but one. Wyatt kept the last remaining letter in his possession, folding it up before placing it into his pocket. "This is a fair trade, Paige. You've opened up quite a bit about your past to the masses, so now, I shall do the same. A tale that has never been said aloud is the one that concerns the woman whose spirit you tried to make a mockery off. My beloved sister, Abigail. Back when I was just a little boy, Abigail and I used to wander off from our house that you took it upon yourself to burn to ashes..." said Wyatt, revealing that The Wyatt Family Compound was once his childhood home. "We would go out into the wilderness and camp out. It was a harmless little tradition that she and I had. We'd wait until the sun set before venturing off into the unknown with the only source of light guiding us being the lantern that I carry to this day. I hold this near and dear to my heart because... because it's the only thing I have left of her. One night, we decided to head off and camp. I didn't know at first why she wanted to do so in the winter, but nonetheless, we were off on our way. She told me to set up our tent and keep the lantern on while she went off on her own for a bit. I should have never let her to wander by herself... I regret leaving her alone to this day. I sat in front of our tent, shivering with nothing to look at but the light and my own breath. Then... I heard her call out. 'Bray! Please don't worry! This is how things are supposed to be!' she said. I looked up and I saw my sister standing on top of a cliff. I stood up and she told me not to make another move. 'You are strong, Bray! You have a gift that nobody else does! I want to you to travel across the globe and spread your message! Make people believe what I do! That is my final request to you, my brother. Don't worry about where I'm going. All you need to do from now on if you want to speak with me is look up at the sky and follow the buzzards!' And after she spoke her final words... my sister jumped to her death right in front of me! Every time I close my eyes, that is all I see! My sister chose to end her suffering and make sure that she did it in a way that would spark a fire inside of me to seek vengeance and retribution against the world that tormented the one person I've ever truly loved! Bray Wyatt was born that day and you, Paige... you actually think that WrestleMania is the day he's going to die at your hands! You cannot kill what was has been dead for years now! You think you can make me suffer after what my own sister did to me?! Not a single thing you can do at WrestleMania is going to hurt me because I am already dying on the inside and I have been since the day my sister left this God forsaken world! You gave me false hope that she was still alive. That she was somewhere out there. I followed you, Paige. I made you one of my own. I took you into my family, and in return, you showed me true evil that I cannot allow to carry on."
"That's a big reason, Paige, why I cannot stand you. You go around and you tell everybody that they don't have to suffer. You pose as a source of light in this world full of darkness! You actually believe that you can give these people hope to make it through to the other side. What you fail to mention to everybody is that YOU'RE the reason you're suffering! Every bit of misfortune that you've ever encountered has come as a result of your own actions! YOUR carelessness and unwillingness to be a loving mother cost you a child! You killed your unborn baby, Paige! You neglected another life! Don't you dare try to compare the loss of your child to my sister's death! We have both loved and we have both lost, but the difference between you and me is that my loss wasn't my fault! You are the reason your life is a living hell, but I will gladly be the reason you GO to hell!"
By the end of Wyatt's merciless speech, Paige was down on her knees, sobbing uncontrollably. "No... I... I didn't. I didn't kill..." Paige said through her tears. "You want to end all of this where it started, Paige? That's fine by me because I couldn't think of a better environment to finish a demoness than Hell in a Cell. That look in your eyes right now is the one true emotion that I strike into your cold heart: Fear. The sight of my eyes makes you feel fear. The thought of Hell in a Cell at WrestleMania makes you feel fear. You want to know someone who doesn't feel fear? Me. Fear is a nonexistent emotion within me. My sister's death replaced any sense of fear I may have had with anger. Bray Wyatt doesn't know fear. Bray Wyatt has no fear!"
"... No... fear..."
"In other words, Paige... I have... cero... miedo."
One phrase changed the complexion of the entire segment. The fans in the Allstate Arena went wild after Wyatt spoke those two, daunting words. 'The Eater of Worlds' laughed to himself before Paige stood up, her shocked expression showing that she finally understood what the purpose of this "gathering" was. She looked around at the Wyatt Family disciples that surrounded the ring, trying to figure out which one was about to attack her. One of the disciples standing in between Paige and The Wyatt Family removed their mask, revealing herself to be Maxine. Paige stared at her in disbelief before one of the disciples stepped through the ropes and removed his Wyatt Family mask. Pentagon was now standing behind Paige, giving the "Cero Miedo" hand gesture before attacking her! The remaining disciples dropped down to the floor while Pentagon stomped away on Paige, Maxine watching while Wyatt, Harper and Rowan slowly approached the ring. Pentagon grabbed Paige's arm, locking it in place.
Just one second later, Pentagon reeled back and snapped the arm of Paige.
Paige kept her face down against the canvas, screaming into it with cries that would haunt the WWE Universe forever. Wyatt approached the fallen carcass of Paige before turning to Pentagon and Maxine, both of whom were on their knees. They bowed their heads down before Wyatt began speaking yet again. "Pentagon... Maxine... your master thanks you for your services. The road to resurrection has been completed. Welcome to my Family."
After months of mystery and speculation, all theories could be put to rest. All this time, Bray Wyatt was the master of Pentagon and Maxine, and when he needed the two of them most, they delivered. Pentagon and Maxine are now official members of The Wyatt Family, and Paige has been made the final sacrifice from Pentagon to his master, Bray Wyatt.

- Pentagon and Maxine making the jump to the main roster from NXT and in their main roster debuts they join The Wyatt Family as its newest members with Pentagon attacking Paige and snapping her arm while Wyatt, Harper and Rowan watch all of this go down...I mean I was in shock...Pentagon and Maxine are the last people who I would have suspected would join The Wyatt Family but it all makes sense given the supernatural aspect but I wonder what kind of shape Paige will be in come WrestleMania XXX? I mean considering she has to face Bray Wyatt inside Satan's structure inside Hell in a Cell and now with a broken arm WrestleMania is in less than a month...I don't see how Paige can recover in time
- Derrick Bateman the WWE Universal Champion and John Cena in the same ring at the same time on Smackdown this Friday...I wonder if this means that the 2 of them will shoot on each other? I can definitely see it going down with Cena shooting on Bateman and Bateman shooting on Cena but I wonder where the 3rd part of this equation Brock Lesnar will fit into all of this? The Beast The Conqueror The Mayor of Suplex City I wonder if Lesnar will show up on Smackdown turning Smackdown into Suplex City?
- Chris Jericho, Christian and The Revival beating Kidd, Neville and the reunited Kings of Wrestling Cesaro & Ohno in 8 Man Tag Team action with The Revival getting the pin to win the match for their team...I mean the WWE Tag Team division is definitely heating up in the sense of it being so competitive probably as competitive as it has ever been with all of these teams as contenders for The New Day's WWE Tag Team Championships but with The Revival getting the pin this has to put them into #1 Contendership as far as the titles go...but then again at Mania I can see it being a Fatal 4 Way Ladder Match or a Fatal 4 Way Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match with New Day defending their titles against The Revival, The Kings of Wrestling and Chris Jericho & Christian all in the same match
- I think Dean Ambrose is being set up...I don't think he attacked Shane McMahon but as for who I think did...I think it was Shane's brother-in-law Stephanie's husband the former COO of WWE Triple H that he was the one who attacked Shane or if not Triple H then it was Seth Rollins who attacked Shane which will lead to Rollins/Shane at Mania and Triple H facing Ambrose at Mania
- Alexa Bliss the WWE Women's Champion it seems that ever since going through thumb tacks it is like Alexa has more or less embraced the darker side of the WWE Women's division I mean she more or less pierced Kaitlyn with thumbtacks by sending her through them with Kaitlyn having some in her arm...who would have ever thought that Bliss and Kaitlyn would go one on one with each other? I mean I certainly wouldn't but at the same time it is like ever since Bliss became champion Kaitlyn has become jealous of Alexa and her success...Bliss was right it is like ever since she became champion she has proven more or less that she is or has become better than Kaitlyn and Kaitlyn knows it hence the DQ...I mean AJ Lee the #1 Contender for the WWE Women's Championship at Mania shows up causing the DQ making the save for Kaitlyn and then out of nowhere Kaitlyn spears AJ Lee...I mean it makes sense given the fact that AJ Lee just caused Kaitlyn to lose her match by DQ but also because of the fact that Kaitlyn is bitter that AJ is in the spot that Kaitlyn thinks that she should be in...at WrestleMania I can see this match going from one on one to turning into a Fatal 4 Way with Alexa Bliss having to defend her title against AJ Lee, Kaitlyn and Sofia Cortez
- The Miz defending his WWE United States Championship at WrestleMania against Daniel Bryan but not in just any regular match but a Title vs Career Match...if Daniel Bryan loses his career is over he must retire...I mean that is high stakes for Daniel Bryan I mean he is in a Career-Threatening situation if you think about it because if he loses he's gone for good he has to retire that means no more coming back but if Bryan wins his career is still in tact and he becomes the new WWE United States Champion...I know I definitely wanna see this match
- Allie getting her first win here in WWE by beating Miz's wife Maryse...I mean big assist goes to Daniel Bryan because Miz walked out on the match walked out on his wife because he was running away from Bryan and Bryan completes the match as referee with Allie taking advantage to get the win...I would have thought for sure that Maryse would win this match or at the very least Miz and Maryse both would screw Allie but it seems Maryse was the one who was screwed by Bryan well turnabout is fair play especially considering what Maryse did to Daniel's wife Brie...he sticks it to her and to Miz but with Allie somehow getting a win here it begs the question of where she goes from here
- Randy Orton beating one half of the Spirit Squad beating Kenny I mean Orton looked to be in fine form more like dominant form beating Kenny...I mean sure Kenny got some offense in but this more or less was a squash match for Orton and he takes out Mikey too for good measure I would have thought for sure that The Viper would punt both members of The Spirit Squad in the skull to send an even stronger message to Kevin Owens but message definitely received...I can definitely see Owens/Orton happening at WrestleMania for sure now
- Strowman beating Rusev...this match definitely for 2 big men I would say was definitely back and forth the whole way throughout I was surprised I would have thought that Strowman would squash Rusev but no this match was back and forth hell Rusev almost had Strowman beat but Strowman getting out of the Accolade by countering it through lifting Rusev on to his shoulders and hitting a Running Powerslam...definitely awesome feat of strength on Strowman's part but once again it goes to show us that Strowman is no ordinary man he is extraordinary he is a definite Monster probably the WWE's most dominant Monster I mean he has proven it time and time again he proved it in Monster's Ball and now Strowman accepting Joe's challenge for a No DQ match next week on RAW...hopefully this is the last time we see Strowman/Joe because their rivalry at this point is starting to get stale
- Bobby Roode opening up the show as the new WWE Intercontinental Champion in CM Punk's hometown of Chicago...if you were definitely trying to get heat on Roode it definitely worked here I mean he was about to be crowned champion well in a coronation ceremony and the fans obviously are beside themselves because of their hometown hero and cue Punk's music hitting and Punk coming out with the WWE Intercontinental Championship around his waist and Roode also with his WWE Intercontinental Championship around his waist...I mean you have 2 men here essentially claiming to be the WWE Intercontinental Champion but only 1 man can be...I mean seeing all of this go down I love it because of the dilemma it creates
- Kurt Angle showing that as Smackdown GM he can definitely make decisions that benefit as he makes a match to determine who the rightful WWE Intercontinental Champion truly is...definitely a great decision on Angle's part I mean considering Angle is the Smackdown GM and Cueto is the RAW GM it will be interesting to see who these 2 draft to their respective shows as far as superstars, divas and announcers go
- CM Punk the hometown hero conquers by beating Bobby Roode to retain the WWE Intercontinental Championship...back and forth match if I do say so myself I mean great opening match to say the least and with Punk once again proving that he is The Best in the World post-match calls out Cody Rhodes of all people and Rhodes shows up and then out of nowhere CM Punk attacks Cody Rhodes not just attacking him but brutalizing Cody...of course the Chicago crowd won't turn on their favorite son so of course they are not going to boo Punk in his own hometown but instead of cheers or boos you have a stunned silence I mean obviously the crowd doesn't know what to make of this but if it were anywhere else Punk would have been booed relentlessly but here in Chicago he of course won't be
- I think after this attack it is obvious that CM Punk can no go back to being The CM Punk of old he can go back to being The CM Punk of 2012 the disrespectful Best in the World which caused him to become champion for 434 days he can be that Punk again
- But after that attack I think we will get CM Punk/Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XXX for the WWE Intercontinental Championship

For the first time ever, the main event of WrestleMania will be left in the hands of the WWE Universe. Beginning this Friday at 10 AM EST, voting will commence across Twitter and Instagram where fans can use one of three different hashtags to express which match they believe should have the honor of going on last on April 6th. Three high-level, main event-worthy contests are up for voting, each having their own validity for being the main event of the biggest show in WWE history.
WWE Championship - AJ Styles (c) vs. The Undertaker The story writes itself. ‘The Phenomenal One’ versus ‘The Phenom.’ Championship vs. Streak. 21 times, The Undertaker has reigned supreme at WrestleMania with not a single loss smudging his record. The likes of Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Randy Orton, Batista, Edge, Kane, Bray Wyatt and Ric Flair have all been struck down by the hand of ‘The Deadman’ at the Showcase of the Immortals. In AJ Styles’ WrestleMania debut, the reigning and defending WWE Champion has the opportunity to do what no man before him has achieved. Styles was provoked by The Undertaker at Battleground when ‘Taker turned his back on Team AJ Styles, decimating Styles with a Chokeslam in the middle of the ring. The following night on RAW, Undertaker made it clear that he took physical action against Styles in order to get the best out of him in their inevitable encounter. Undertaker wants to see for himself if Styles truly is ‘The Guy’ in WWE for the foreseeable future, or if he’s just another flash in the pan who will fade away from the WWE Universe’s memories.
The Undertaker’s Streak. AJ Styles’ WWE Championship reign. Something will cease to exist. Will Undertaker prove for the 22nd time at WrestleMania why the squared circle is his yard, or will ‘The Phenomenal One’ cap off the single greatest 1st year in WWE history by doing the unimaginable and ending the Streak?
Universal Championship - Derrick Bateman (c) vs. John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar From last year’s WrestleMania to this year’s, it would be difficult to find any superstar who had a more roller coaster of a year than Derrick Bateman. In MetLife Stadium on April 7th, 2013, Bateman shocked the world by winning the Money in the Bank Ladder match, guaranteeing himself an opportunity at either the WWE or World Heavyweight Championship. What came next, however, was nothing that Bateman nor anyone in the WWE Universe could have predicted. An injury forced Bateman to relinquish the Money in the Bank contract, and an outburst that came afterwards led to Vince McMahon firing Bateman live on RAW back in July. Bateman proceeded to torment the WWE until he was back on the roster, setting his sights on both revenge and championship gold. Bateman achieved both at once at the Royal Rumble when he overcame 29 other superstars to become the first ever WWE Universal Championship and be guaranteed to defend it at WrestleMania XXX. Brock Lesnar, someone who Bateman crossed paths with on his way to the Royal Rumble match, made it clear that he intend on getting retribution against Bateman for injuring his leg by defeating him for the Universal Title on the grandest stage of them all. However, another challenger emerged when John Cena made his return on the Royal Rumble Kickoff, announcing to the world that he intended on completing his resume by capturing the Universal Title. After both Cena and Lesnar aided Paige in a match against Bateman, Vince McMahon went to social media to confirm the Universal Title match for WrestleMania. Bateman defends in a Triple Threat match against Cena and Lesnar.
Will John Cena add the Universal Championship to his already Hall of Fame-worthy list of accolades? Will Brock Lesnar turns New Orleans into Suplex City and capture his first piece of gold since returning almost two years ago? Or will Derrick Bateman once again do what he's made a career out of over the last year and shock the world by defeating two of the most dominant and decorated superstars in WWE history to retain the Universal Championship?
Hell in a Cell - Paige vs. Bray Wyatt Despite no championship being at the stake, Paige and Bray Wyatt have set the stage for what is undoubtedly the most personal contest on the WrestleMania card. Back at Hell in a Cell in October, Wyatt made his presence felt during Paige's match against Stephanie McMahon, taking out 'The Anti-Diva' with Sister Abigail. Wyatt's motive behind the attack was later revealed: He believed that Paige was the reincarnation of Abigail, and he wanted nothing more than to bring her into his Family. At Survivor Series, the two met in a grueling Casket match that Wyatt won with ease. The next month at TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs, Paige returned with an altered appearance befitting of her new label as a Wyatt Family member. The Wyatt and Paige alliance wrecked havoc over the entire roster until the Royal Rumble match, where Paige reached the final two along with Derrick Bateman. While she was unable to become Universal Champion, Paige was reverted to her true self during the match due to the WWE Universe's overwhelming support for her, allowing her to see what her blood-soaked eyes had been shielding her from. The following night on RAW, Wyatt once again attacked Paige, concluding that his sister would have never allowed the masses to change her heart and become 'weak' to emotion. Paige remained out of action until six days prior to Battleground, where she made her emphatic return by declaring war against Wyatt and Bateman. Paige was inserted into the WarGames match between Team AJ Styles and Team Derrick Bateman, she and Wyatt taking each other out of the equation. Paige got her revenge against Bateman on RAW in a No Disqualifications match, leaving Wyatt as her sole target. Paige wasted no time laying out the challenge to the 'Eater of Worlds' for a Hell in a Cell match at WrestleMania, desiring to settle their rivalry in the same environment where it started. Last night on RAW, the tables were turned when Paige was given a mysterious calling card inviting her to a 'Wyatt Family Gathering.' During said gathering, Wyatt opened the mental and emotional wounds that were created by the loss of Paige's unborn child. Wyatt opened up about his own past, revealing to the world that Sister Abigail's death was via suicide when he was a child. In doing so, Wyatt caused Paige to have a mental breakdown by declaring that she was the only person responsible for her miscarriage. The whole gathering turned out to be a set up as Wyatt debuted two new members of his unit: NXT's Pentagon and Maxine. Pentagon attacked Paige in the ring and snapped her arm out of its socket, making her the final sacrifice to Wyatt, his master who brought him to WWE. The Wyatt Family, now known as The Wyatt Tribe, stood tall over Paige and made it clear that Hell in a Cell is a battle that she cannot win.
Never before has a woman main evented WrestleMania, but that can all change with one vote from the WWE Universe. Paige is on the cusp of history, but at the same time, Hell in a Cell could very well be the end of her career. This WILL be the most violent, bloody and barbaric match ever held in WWE. Can Paige lay her demons to rest once and for all, or is she doomed to fall at the hands of Bray Wyatt yet again?
Three high-caliber matches are set, but only one can be the main event of WrestleMania. Choose carefully.

For me only one match deserves to go on last and that match being for the WWE Championship...AJ Styles defending his title against The Undertaker in a Streak vs Title match with Taker putting up his 21-0 WrestleMania undefeated streak against AJ Styles' title...hands down this deserves to be the main event
