Recap of Drew McIntyre WrestleMania Victory

Asuka defeats Liv Morgan

Asuka caught Morgan with a hip attack to secure the early advantage, but Morgan stayed in the match hitting Asuka with a hurricanrana. After a missile dropkick from Liv sent Asuka to the outside, Morgan hit a hurricanrana on the floor.  Auska created some space and connected with a roundhouse before Raw went to commercial break.

Back from the break, Asuka maintained control in the ring. After Asuka hit a shining wizard, she nearly picked up the victory but Liv put her foot on the ropes. Liv put up a good fight, but Asuka cinched in the Asuka lock for the pinfall victory.

Recap of Becky Lynch’s Victory

Pre Taped Promos from Shayna and Becky

Becky says if Shayna wants another shot, she can have one. Shayna promises that Becky will feel the agony of her defeat.

Street Profits defeat Austin Theory and Angel Garza

The Street Profits hit several tandem moves including a tandem dropkick sending both Garza and Theory to the outside as Raw went to a commercial break. When Raw came back from break, Theory hit Dawkins with a dropkick to swing the advantage back to his team. Garza and Theory isolated Dawkins working over his legs and keeping him on the mat. Dawkins finally grabbed Theory for an overhead belly to belly suplex, and he made the tag to Montez Ford. When Ford went to the top rope, Zelina Vega jumped up on the apron and grabbed his leg. The referee called for a disqualification.

Post Match

It was essentially the same as last night where Garza, Theory, and Vega attempted to beat down the Street Profits. Belair made the save. Bianca Belair says she goes here now and tells Vega to get in the ring.

Bianca Belair and Zelina Vega ends in No Contest

Belair demonstrated her strength in the early part of the match. Vega evaded a running shoulder and Belair hit the post hard. Belair used a Gorilla Press Slam, but Theory jumped up the apron. When Montez Ford attacked Austin Theory in the ring, the referee called for the bell.

Post Match

Montez Ford wants a six-person tag match

Bianca Belair and Street Profits defeat Austin Theory, Angel Garza, and Zelina Vega

With the third time be the charm? Theory and team began to go to work on Montez Ford. Eventually Ford managed to get the tag to Bianca Belair. Garza and Theory got chased out of the ringside area while Belair hit the K.O.D. on Vega for the pinfall victory.

Interview with Bobby Lashley

Lashley says he needs new management or a new wife. Lana walked up to say hi and Lashley walked away.

Apollo Crews is Now on Raw

Apparently some draft picks were about to expire.

Aleister Black defeats Apollo Crews

Aleister Black and Apollo Crews spent the first couple of minutes with mat wrestling. Apollo Crews used a handspring to evade some of Black’s offense and then Black floated over Apollo Crews’ back and sat down in the middle of the ring. This is something that Apollo Crews must have seen in the scouting report because Crews rolled out of the ring and allowed Raw to go to commercial.

Aleister Black evaded a Gorilla Press slam from Apollo Crews and cinched in an arm bar. With Black on the outside, Apollo Crews hit a moonsault to send Raw to another commercial. To this point, Crews has got more offense on Black than anyone since Paul Heyman took over Raw.

Crews missed a splash from the top rope and Black put on a knee bar, but Crews made it to the ropes. When Aleister Black went for the Black Mass, Crews ducked and hit a step up enziguri sending Black to the outside. WWE went to commercial again.

Back from the break, Black hit a sliding knee and his second rope moonsault. That wasn’t enough to put Crews away. Black evaded the Gorilla Press Slam again, but got nailed with a sit down powerbomb. Crews hit his third attempt at the Gorilla Press, hit a moonsault, and then a standing shooting star for a near fall. When Crews went for a top rope move, Black hit a jumping knee strike and then finally hit the Black Mass for the pinfall victory.

Recap of the Last Man Standing Match

Cedric Alexander and Ricochet defeat Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch

Lorcan and Burch had the early advantage until Alexander got a tag to Ricochet. Alexander and Ricochet hit a number of quick tandem moves and secured the pinfall victory with the Ricochet hitting the recoil on Lorcan. A very quick but good showcase for Ricochet and Alexander.

Recap of Kevin Owens Multiple Victories at WrestleMania

Kevin Owens Backstage Interview

Owens is happy to have finally had a match with Seth Rollins one on one. He can now focus on other things as he reminds us it is the Kevin Owens Show.

Seth Rollins defeats NXT Guy

Rollins took the NXT guy to the outside where Rollins tossed him into he barricade a few times before tossing him back in the ring. Rollins stomped him and took the pinfall. This match took less than a minute and a half.

Nia Jax defeats Deonna Purrazzo

Nia Jax rushed Deonna at the bell and then dragged Purrazzo around by her hair. After a pair of short arm clotheslines, Jax hit the samoan drop. Jax then hit a package DDT for a pinfall victory.

Recap of Boneyard Match

Humberto Carillo defeats Brendan Vink

Vink attempted a suplex, but Carillo floated over and hit his springboard arm drag. Carillo climbed to the top rope and hit a massive drop kick to send Vink to the outside. As Carillo went for a dive, Vink kicked him out of the air. Back in the ring, Vink maintained the advantage primarily using a chin lock. After a spinning enziguri, Carillo hit a rolling moonsault and then a top rope moonsault for the pinfall victory.

Recap of Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair

Recapped Drew McIntyre’s Victory over Brock Lesnar

Video of Post WrestleMania Interview

It has only been 20 minutes. He thanked Paul Heyman for yelling “Keep giving him the F5. He can’t keep getting back up.” Every time Heyman said “F5,” McIntyre kept getting angrier. Big Show Came Out with a Referee. He didn’t want a title match, but he just wanted a match. Drew says he just wrestled Brock Lesnar, and he isn’t taking another match. Big Show kept egging him on and smacked him in the face.

Drew McIntyre defeats the Big Show

Big Show took Drew off his feet with a shoulder tackle and then proceeded to punch him the ribs. After a scoop slam, Big Show draped McIntyre over the ropes and stepped on him. Show clubbed him down to the mat in the corner and then hit a Vader bomb elbow for a near fall. After a trip of overhead chops, Big Show body slammed him again.

McIntyre floated over when Show went for a chokeslam, and he body slammed the Big Show. Drew came off the top rope, but Big Show snatched him out of the air and hit a chokeslam. When Big Show went for the K.O. punch, Drew ducked and hit the Claymore for the pinfall victory.
