Raw Results - April 21, 2025 - T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada

“WWE Then. Now. Forever. Together.” kicks things off as always, and then we shoot to an extended video recap of nights one and two of WrestleMania 41, which featured over 120,000+ solid cats, according to “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.

John Cena Kicks Off Raw After Mania 2025

Inside the T-Mobile Arena, the theme for John Cena hits and out he comes with a mean scowl on his face, per Heel Cena protocol, with his newly won Undisputed WWE Championship around his waist — backwards. He settles in the ring in his fresh pair of Travis Scott’s, ready to open up tonight’s show.

Fireworks explode as Cena poses with the title overhead in the ring. He then calls over the ring announcer and hands him a paper. The ring announcer reads that his introduction has been deemed disrespectful. He makes him re-introduce him as the greatest of all-time, the record 17-time WWE Champion gracing Las Vegas with his presence for the final time — John Cena!

“Winners write history,” Cena says as his first words while holding the title up high. “You are not worthy. You think that on Friday, you can bully me? And then I step into a ring with gold around my waist and just because you cheer, I’m supposed to forgive you?” He says that’s not how a functional relationship works. “You sir, is that the way you treat your wife? No, it’s not!” Just because you show up in a good mood, he can still tell them to go straight to hell. Every one of them owes him an apology, but they lack the courage to do so.

The crowd starts to boo him. Cena says this has forever been the show where they hijack Monday Night Raw. They’re here for all of WrestleMania, and this ticket allows them to take control. Cena says the crowd has gone soft. A “We aren’t sorry” chant picks up. Cena has the lights turned on and says this is an arena full of lowlifes. The best part is that the crowd doesn’t mean anything to him. An “asshole” chant picks up. Cena says he may be an “anus,” but they are a group of idiots. For 25 years, they’ve called him so much worse

He’s taken their best shot and still gotten up. What makes them think they’ll be the crowd to crack him right now? They mean nothing to them. Their noise means nothing to him. The only thing that means anything is this: “36 dates” appears on the screen. 36 dates, and he’s gone. Time passes so quickly. Cena lists the dates he’s already made: Netflix debut, Indianapolis, Toronto, London, Brussels, Glasgow, Las Vegas, Las Vegas, and Las Vegas. We’re down to 27 dates… not matches, but appearances. They say he can’t wrestle, but he doesn’t have to.

He just has to show up and do this. When that hits zero, the professional wrestling timeline stops cold. Cena isn’t stupid like the people. There will be another Monday Night Raw and they will decide another champion, but the title held by Bruno Sammartino, Roman Reigns, the title taken from him in Chicago by CM Punk, the title held by Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin comes home with him. Cena says he is the last real Undisputed Champion of the WWE. Getting this was the hard part.

The rest is a cakewalk. Cena just has to play them like the puppets that they are. The best chance they had to save themselves was Cody Rhodes. The crowd starts to boo, and Cena calls them “heartless bastards.” They go back and forth, booing and cheering him. The man they put on their shoulders last year to finish the story now disgusts them. That’s what’s wrong with this. Last night, Cody Rhodes was outshined, outclassed, outwrestled, and flat-out destroyed. It’s time for the crowd to take a bold look in the mirror.

The truth is, there is no one in the WWE with the strength, the speed, the wisdom, or the ruthless aggression of John Cena. Unlike the crowd, he has a heart. Cena wants to do something nice for them right now. Cena tells them to get their cameras because they’ll want to remember this moment. Cena tells them to make sure they get a great picture because the last real champ is here. On that note, Randy Orton pops up behind him.

He then sneaks up behind Cena and hits him with an RKO! The crowd goes wild for Orton. A loud “Randy” chant picks up. Orton picks up the Undisputed WWE Championship, looks at it, smiles, and holds it up. The crowd loudly sings Orton’s theme, and he is fired up. Cena is down and out on the canvas. Orton lays the belt over him and poses on the ropes to wrap up the eventful opening segment.

WWE Women’s Tag-Team Championships
Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez vs. Becky Lynch & Lyra Valkyria (c)

It’s time for a WrestleMania 41 rematch. The former women’s tag-team champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez make their way to the ring after footage of Becky Lynch’s return at WrestleMania 41 Sunday is shown. The two settle in the ring for a rematch against Lynch and Lyra Valkyria for the titles, as the show heads into a pre-match break.

Mark Shunock has some issues doing the introductions. Commentary tries to cover for him. When the show returns, celebrities and NXT Superstars are shown in the ring, and then the familiar sounds of Becky Lynch’s entrance music hits. Out comes “The Man” accompanied by two-belts-Lyra. The new women’s tag champs settle in the ring for their first defense.

The bell sounds and after a couple of minutes of initial back-and-forth offense, we shift gears and head into a mid-match commercial break as the match continues. When the show returns, we see Rodriguez is stretching Valkyria out. Valkyria gets out, but Rodriguez takes her down.

Valkyria then powers Rodriguez up and hits the Nightwing! 1… 2… Morgan puts Rodriguez’s foot on the bottom rope. Lynch hits Morgan with a Lou Thesz Press at ringside. Morgan quickly sends her into the ring post. Valkyria hits Morgan with a Wrecking Ball Dropkick and heads to the top rope.

Becky Lynch Turns On Lyra Valkyria

After the match, Becky Lynch is upset and checks on Lyra Valkyria. Lynch helps her up and hugs her before connecting with a big clothesline. Lynch yells at Valkyria as the crowd starts to boo her. Valkyria looks devastated.

Lynch goes to leave the ring, but she returns to punch away at Valkyria. Lynch goes to leave again, but she returns and slowly walks up to Valkyria. Lynch grabs her and hits a Manhandle Slam. Lynch pulls her back up and hits a second Manhandle Slam.

Lynch sneers at her and goes to leave. The crowd chants, “One more time,” so Lynch obliges and hits a third Manhandle Slam. A “Becky” chant fires up as she walks off as the commentators are in disbelief.

Rusev Returns

Rusev made his long-awaited return to WWE on the special annual edition of Raw After Mania. Rusev made a surprise return out of nowhere during a promo segment between The New Day and Alpha Academy.

Just as it appeared that an impromptu WWE Tag-Team Championship match was going to take place between the two teams, the lights went out, the music hit, and Rusev emerged to a roar from the “Sin City” crowd.

Rusev hit the ring and took out everyone in sight as the the sustained roar from the crowd continued to grow.

Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. IYO SKY (c)

It is announced that WWE Survivor Series 2025 will take place at Petco Park on November 29, 2025 in San Diego, CA. After that, we return inside the T-Mobile Arena, where WWE Women’s World Champion IYO SKY comes to the ring.

She proceeds to cut a promo about carving her name in WWE history by beating Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair on “The Grandest Stage of Them All” at WrestleMania 41. However things didn’t end there. Vaquer’s theme hit at that point and the WWE NXT Women’s Champion emerged, and confronted SKY.

She acknowledged her as the best, but made it clear that she wants to fight with the best of the best. SKY said if Vaquer wants to face her, she accepts. WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce then came out and announced that SKY vs. Vaquer is official, and it starts right now. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running.

“This is awesome” chants spread before anything even happens. The bell rings, and they shake hands. They lock up, and Sky applies a waistlock. Vaquer gets out and takes her down. Vaquer applies a front facelock. Sky twists out as a dueling chant picks up. Vaquer gets out of a hammerlock and takes Sky down.

Sky wrenches the arm, but Vaquer twists out. Vaquer takes her down and covers for a no-count. Sky takes her down and also picks up a no-count. The crowd gives them a nice ovation. Sky sends her into the ropes, and Vaquer goes for a head-scissor takeover, but Sky lands on her feet.

Vaquer hits the ropes and grabs Sky, but Sky holds the ropes and fights her off. Vaquer executes a standing switch, but Sky knocks her back. Vaquer ducks a clothesline, and Sky ducks one as well. Sky does a handspring and dropkicks her out of the ring.

Sky gets the crowd going. Sky hits the ropes and takes Vaquer out with a su***de dive. Sky goes to put Vaquer into the ring, but Vaquer twists and kicks her in the face. Vaquer charges, but Sky sends her into the timekeeper’s area. Vaquer quickly pops up and comes off the barricade with a big cross-body block.

After a mid-match commercial break, we return and things get close to a finish, only for Roxanne Perez to hit the ring out of nowhere and attack Vaquer. Giulia then appears and helps out. Rhea Ripley’s theme hits and she comes down with a black eye and cleans house. She holds SKY’s title up and tells her she’s coming for it. We head to another break.

Winner: No Contest

‘Main Event’ Jey Uso Comes Out & Sami Zayn Returns

Backstage, we see CM Punk is shown walking wearing a hoodie, and he doesn’t look happy. After that, we see a lengthy emotional full career video package of Jey Uso. From there, we return inside the jam-packed T-Mobile Arena where we hear the familiar sounds of the YEET-tastic theme music.

On that note, out comes the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion “Main Event” Jey Uso. He comes to the ring with a big YEET-fest, which fans wants seconds of. They get it, and then Uso begins his first promo as champion. After he says the basics, the theme for Sami Zayn hits and out he comes in his return appearance.

Zayn smiles at Uso and after a delay, he walks up and hugs him. Fans chant “Ucey! Ucey!” and then “Sami Uso! Sami Uso!” before he says a word. He says he just wanted to be the first one in the ring standing across from him with that shoulder on his title to say he’s proud of him. He tells him he’s his Uce, his dog and his friend. Jimmy Uso comes out and they have a YEET-abration to end the segment.

Karrion Kross Confronts AJ Styles Once Again

Logan Paul’s post-show digital exclusive interview with Cathy Kelley from backstage at WrestleMania 41 Sunday is shown. After that, we shoot live backstage where Jackie Redmond is standing by with AJ Styles. Styles says losing last night was a hard pill to swallow.

Logan Paul used his lackeys to help, but he’s moving on. Part of being phenomenal is bouncing back. Karrion Kross comes up with Scarlett. The crowd loudly cheers Kross. Kross says there is no bouncing back from getting pinned by Paul. Styles is the best of them, which makes it painful that he got pinned by Paul and legitimized him.

Styles says he hated the person he saw in the mirror last year. If he hit Paul with the brass knuckles, the win would mean nothing. If Kross wants to be angry at the world, he shouldn’t take Styles down with him. Styles tells him to solve the problem himself. Kross says, “Maybe I will” and makes a sadistic facial expression.

GUNTHER Brutally Attacks Pat McAfee & Michael Cole

We see Dominik Mysterio warming up backstage for his first WWE Intercontinental Championship defense against Penta. We then cut live inside the arena, where GUNTHER is standing over Pat McAfee and Michael Cole at the commentary desk yelling at them off-mic.

GUNTHER ends up snatching up Cole and slapping his choke on him. McAfee pushes GUNTHER, and a ton of officials try and break things up. GUNTHER stands up and glares at McAfee. When it seems like it’s over, GUNTHER runs up and attacks McAfee from behind, slapping his choke on him as well.

Adam Pearce and a ton of officials are screaming at GUNTHER to let go, as McAfee slides unconscious. GUNTHER finally lets go and walks off. Pearce and officials tend to McAfee. They help him up and he gags and chokes as fans chant his name. They help he and Cole to the back as McAfee continues struggling to breathe. We head to a break. When the show returns, Cole refuses to take off per Pearce’s request. He joins Joe Tessitore at the desk.

WWE Intercontinental Championship
Dominik Mysterio (c) vs. Penta

It’s time for what is likely the final match of the evening. As Cole takes his seat alongside Tessitore, the two set the stage for a championship contest coming up. Dominik Mysterio’s theme hits and out comes the brand new WWE Intercontinental Champion for his first defense.

He settles into the ring to loud “Dirty Dom! Dirty….Dirty Dom!” song-style chants, the same way fans sing Cody Rhodes’ name for his song-chants. His opponent for his defense in this title tilt hits, and out comes Penta to a big crowd reaction of his own. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one.

Following some initial back-and-forth action, Penta hits some high spots and takes the early lead. On that note, the show shifts gears and heads into a mid-match commercial break as this title tilt continues.

When the show returns, we see the match still in progress. Carlito hits the ring, as does the returning JD McDonagh, both of whom make sure Dom-Dom gets the “W” for his first successful title defense. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez join them afterwards to celebrate with all of their gold.

Winner and STILL WWE Intercontinental Champion: Dominik Mysterio

Seth Rollins & Paul Heyman Come Out To Close The Show

When the show returns, Seth Rollins’ theme hits and out he comes in his bright-ass yellow suit, with his Wiseman, Paul Heyman, by his side. He settles in the ring for what is likely to be our main event segment of the show.

After soaking up all the crowd chants, which start with “Thank you Rollins!” before changing to “F**k you Heyman!” and others, he begins speaking. He reminds us that he is, in fact, a visionary. Rollins says he took a wise man from Roman Reigns, he stole CM Punk’s best friend, he is the winner of the main event of Wrestle Mania.

Before he can go much further here comes CM Punk and a brawl breaks out. Punk gets the upper hand in the corner then turns towards Heyman. Rollins attacks from behind and hits a stomp. Heyman informs us that we’re going to continue this until WrestleMania 42 for the next top star, Seth Freakin Rollins.

On that note, Roman Reigns’ music hits, and he appears. Another brawl breaks out. Reigns hits the spear to Rollins! Heyman eats a Superman Punch! Out of nowhere, Bron Breakker hits the ring and turns Reigns inside-out with a massive spear.

The show ends with “The Wiseman” showing off his new two Paul Heyman Guys — Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker. That’s how the Raw After Mania show wraps up. Thanks for joining us!

WrestleMania 41 Sunday Results - April 20, 2025 - Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, Nevada

“WWE Then. Now. Forever. Together.” kicks things off as always. We then hear Travis Scott’s “Fein” for about the 113th time this weekend alone. We shoot into an in-depth recap package of night one.

ADVERTISING

We then hear Michael Cole welcome us to the show as we see Superstar arrival shots, including Professor Cody Rhodes wearing his reading spectacles. IYO SKY, Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley are also shown walking their bags into Allegiant Stadium.

At the panel, Cole introduces his fellow co-hosts Pat McAfee, Big E. and Wade Barrett. Immediately Cole suffers some kind of technical issue with his equipment, and McAfee jumps on him early with the jokes, before finishing Cole’s introductions of the panelists for him.

After they run down the lineup for tonight’s show and then begin kicking it to other members of the broadcast team, such as Jackie Redmond, Byron Saxton and others, who weigh-in with their respective thoughts on some of the matches, primarily the WWE Women’s World Championship triple-threat opener.

Some more banter from the panelists leads to a video package celebrating 20 years of Randy Orton in WWE. When the panelists talk about his mystery opponent for tonight, there are loud “Rusev Day!” chants. It is also mentioned that John Cena will be on The Pat McAfee Show tomorrow.

From there, we shoot to Byron Saxton’s one-on-one discussion with Bianca Belair. “The EST of WWE” combs over the drama of Jade Cargill and Naomi, and addresses her ongoing title opportunity tonight. We then cut to the in-depth sit-down interview that Peter Rosenberg conducted with WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque.

Some more video packages air to fill time and then a live backstage interview takes place with Cathy Kelley talking to WWE Women’s Tag-Team Champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. They spoke about Lyra Valkyria needing a partner. They seemed confident no one would team with Valkyria.

The panelists of Jackie Redmond, Big E. and Peter Rosenberg disagreed. Big E. all but confirmed the rumors of Lynch returning, acknowledging the “Becky! Becky!” chants in the background, bringing up rumors of a “certain someone who’s been out for a while” before outright saying, “a certain someone with an Irish background.”

Byron Saxton gives four different charities checks for $25,000 and custom WWE Championship belts, proclaiming them the new WWE Community Champions, in the latest annual WrestleMania tradition. Logan Paul is shown finally arriving fashionably late, coincidentally enough, after a video package about fashion at WrestleMania.

We see some more video packages and commercials, and when we return we’re in an already nearly packed Allegiant Stadium where Joe Tessitore and Sam Roberts are at a podium with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe. He talks about being a huge “Dark” John Cena fan, saying “Let’s Break-A-Wish tonight, yeah!” They plug The Roast of WrestleMania tonight.

A video package airs showing the story leading up to the WWE Women’s World Championship triple-threat opener scheduled for tonight. We then shoot to a one-on-one sit-down interview that Cathy Kelley conducted with Rhea Ripley.

Just 45 minutes remaining until it’s time for the main show. Hang tight, this 3-hour podcast with video packages is almost behind us. A special Michael Cole sit-down interview with Cody Rhodes airs. We then head back to Big E., Rosenberg and Redmond.

The guys try and play Clash of the Clans, or Fatal Fury or something and their controllers don’t work almost the entire time. Brutal. In the background, Wade Barrett, Pat McAfee and Michael Cole make their way out, are introduced, and settle in at ringside for their upcoming commentary duties in just a few minutes.

Stephanie McMahon Kicks Off WrestleMania 41 Sunday

The pre-show wraps up. God Bless America is performed live. Michael Cole welcomes us to the show as we see Superstars backstage. Rhea Ripley does push-ups and the crowd roars in the background. We shoot to a “last night” recap straight into the cold open for tonight.

After it wraps up, we shoot inside Allegiant Stadium again. We hear the familiar sounds of Stephanie McMahon’s theme song. She is standing in the middle of the ring like Triple H was last night. She talks about her past in WWE and the fans being part of her family, because WWE is family.

She then formally welcomes us to night two of WrestleMania 41. Fireworks and pyro explodes on the set. Travis Scott’s “Fiend” plays for about the 149th time this weekend alone. Cole, McAfee and Barrett check in for the first time at ringside at the new reinforced commentary desks.

WWE Women’s World Championship
IYO SKY (c) vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair

Championship action will kick things off tonight. We return to an overhead shot of the massive, jam-packed home of the Las Vegas Raiders for night two of WWE’s shows on “The Grandest Stage of Them All.” We then hear the familiar sounds of IYO SKY’s theme, and out comes the reigning, defending WWE Women’s World Champion.

She settles in the ring with her big puffy ring walk jacket, and poses with her title. The fans like “The Genius of the Sky” in “Sin City.” Her music dies down and then the entrance tune for the first of her two challengers plays.

Out comes “The EST of WWE” Bianca Belair with kids who have her long ponytail just like her dancing around on stage as fans boo the living crap out of her, so loud that even Michael Cole quickly acknowledges it on the broadcast. Her step-daughter comes out looking like the real her, only for the real Belair to come out, kiss her and continue her bouncy walk down the long stage.

She settles in the ring after the longest entrance in history perhaps, Roman Reigns in his prime-level long, wearing a giant robe made out of roses. Girls were double-dutch jump-roping with her long ponytail on the stage for her ring walk as well. A giant Minute Maid mascot like the old PRIME mascot is shown.

Rhea Ripley’s theme hits and out she comes with a wild spikey helmet on to a super mega rock star level crowd reaction. This is her show according to the Vegas crowd. As loud as CM Punk’s pop for night one. Maybe he was right about her deserving to go on last over him (even if they’re on different nights).

Alicia Taylor, with essentially the exact same hair style as Xavier Woods last night, is shown on-camera for the big elaborate pre-match ring introductions for the champion and challengers. During this, it is again clear that the crowd is insanely pro-Ripley this evening. They’re pretty damn fond of SKY, too. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running.

Belair and Ripley ignore SKY and argue with each other. Sky will not be ignored and steps in. Sky slaps Belair. Belair pushes Sky into Ripley, who strikes her. Belair hits Ripley and throws Sky into her, who hits Ripley with a hurricanrana. Sky hits the ropes, cartwheels around Belair, and dropkicks her down.

Ripley then dropkicks Sky out of the ring. Ripley and Belair lock eyes. Ripley hits a waistlock takeover, but Belair pops up, does a standing switch, and hits a takedown. Ripley elbows her away, but Belair catches her with a dropkick. Belair taunts the crowd as they boo her. Belair hits Ripley with a shoulder thrust in the corner and starts up the ten punches. Belair backflips over Sky as she charges, sending her into Ripley in the process.

Belair then hits Sky and Ripley with the ten punches. Sky pulls Belair down by the braid. Belair fights Sky off and boots Ripley. Sky catches Ripley and Belair with a double blockbuster and covers both women for a two-count. Sky hits them with a double dropkick. The crowd cheers loudly for Sky. Belair drops Sky on the apron and bounces her off the turnbuckles. Ripley then boots Belair out of the ring.

Ripley comes off the apron with a cannonball on Belair. Sky then wipes Ripley out with an Asai Moonsault! Sky gets Ripley in the ring and rolls her up before hitting a double stomp to the midsection. Sky picks up a two-count. Sky ducks a clothesline from Belair, so Belair redirects and hits Ripley with a clothesline over the top rope. Sky rolls Belair up for a two-count.

Belair quickly gets to her feet and runs over the Women’s World Champion with a shoulder tackle. Belair cartwheels around Sky and taunts her. Belair hits a vertical suplex and floats through into a second suplex. Belair floats through and hits a delayed vertical suplex before doing a kip-up. The crowd is very mixed for Belair. Belair goes for a handspring standing moonsault, but Ripley pulls her out of the ring and beats her down at ringside.

Sky comes off the apron with a flying hurricanrana attempt on Belair, but Belair powers her up. Belair slings Sky into the barricade before trying to sling her into Ripley, but Ripley blocks it. Ripley then slings Sky into the barricade before attacking Belair. Ripley gets Belair in the ring and goes for a suplex, but Belair gets out of it. Ripley avoids a diving attack from Sky and hits her with a Razor’s Edge into Belair! Ripley covers Sky: 1… 2… Sky kicks out.

Ripley goes for a German Suplex on Sky, but Sky counters into a roll-up attempt. Ripley blocks a double stomp and applies the Prism Trap! Belair grabs Ripley from behind and lifts her for a Kiss of Death. Ripley gets out and hits an arm drag. Belair avoids a big boot from Ripley, and they take each other out with a double facebuster. The crowd gives this match a great hand. We see Ripley killing it and then Belair takes over and hits her K.O.D. As she goes for the pin, SKY hits her top-rope finisher for the win to retain in an epic opener.

Winner and STILL WWE Women’s World Champion: IYO SKY

Sin City Street Fight
Drew McIntyre vs. Damian Priest

After the WWE SummerSlam 2025 two-night trailer airs with Cardi B. announcing herself as the host for this year’s shows at MetLife Stadium, we head to the bad-ass pre-match video package telling the year-long story leading up to tonight’s Sin City Street Fight.

When it wraps up, we hear the sword swipe as we settle back inside Allegiant Stadium. “The Scottish Psychopath” emerges in a bad ass Viking kind of outfit. He heads over to some other Viking-looking statue thing holding a shield and poses next to it as unimpressive pyro goes off behind him. Sort of. He begins his long walk to the ring.

Slayer performs live as Damian Priest makes his way out and begins his long walk to the ring to take on McIntyre in this Sin City Street Fight. Meanwhile, McAfee and Barrett are bantering about p***s for the second night in a row on commentary. Upon settling in the ring, Priest stares at Slayer performing like a super fan in the front row for what felt like an eternity, without moving at all.

The bell sounds and McIntyre gets the early jump on Priest, rushing over and attacking him. The fight spills out to the floor where McIntyre continues to beat him down at ringside. He brings him over to the steel ramp and hits a vicious suplex. Priest hits a crescent kick and bounces him off the barricade again. McIntyre hits a throat thrust and delivers a vertical suplex onto the LED ramp.

McIntyre takes off the top half of the steel steps and puts the bottom half in the ring. McIntyre then turns into the steel steps, being thrown at his head by Priest. Priest drives McIntyre into the barricade and grabs a table from under the ring. Priest gets it in the ring. McIntyre attacks Priest and bounces him off the apron and the commentary table. McIntyre then drives him headfirst into the ring post. McIntyre grabs the steel steps and smashes them off Priest’s head twice.

McIntyre then smashes them off Priest’s spine. McIntyre drops the steps before picking them up and smashing them off his back again. McIntyre grabs a phone from his brother and takes a selfie, just like he did last year. McIntyre kicks Priest in the face and gets him in the ring. McIntyre grabs a steel chair and drives the edge into Priest’s skull. McIntyre gets two tables from under the ring and sets them up at ringside side-by-side.

Priest attacks McIntyre on the apron, trying to knock him into the tables, but McIntyre knocks him back with a Glasgow Kiss. McIntyre hits a clothesline over the top rope and takes Priest out with a somersault senton. McIntyre gets Priest in the ring and sets up for a Glasgow Kiss. Priest throws a chair at him to cut it off, but McIntyre avoids it. McIntyre then rocks Priest with a Claymore Kick for a two-count. McIntyre grabs the chair and smacks it off Priest’s back.

McIntyre hits him with it a second time before wrapping it around his head. McIntyre charges for a Claymore Kick, but Priest counters with a chokeslam for a two-count. Priest clasps his hand with McIntyre’s and goes to walk the ropes for Old School. McIntyre shoves him, hard, and Priest flies backwards and crashes through the side-by-side tables at ringside. Back in the ring moments later, McIntyre finishes Priest off for the win. As he walks off in victory, he yells into the camera, “See, I’m always right in the end!”

Winner: Drew McIntyre

WWE Intercontinental Championship
Bron Breakker (c) vs. Penta vs. Finn Balor vs. Dominik Mysterio

More celebrities are shown in the crowd, such as the Detroit Lions running back, UFC legend Daniel Cormier, The Roast of WrestleMania host Tony Hinchcliffe and others. We then cut to the elaborate pre-match video package to tell the story leading up to our next match of the evening.

In our third bout, for the second time tonight already, a title will be on-the-line, as the WWE Intercontinental Championship is at stake next. When the package wraps up, we return inside Allegiant Stadium, where Penta’s theme hits. The crowd loves him. He makes his way to the ring first for the four-way title tilt.

When the entrance wraps up, the theme for Dominik Mysterio hits and out he comes. He struggles to take off a Rey Mysterio mask he is wearing. The crowd roars for that. The commentators have a field day mocking it as well. They do a Dude Wipes live ad-read as “Dirty” Dom-Dom settles in the ring. Didn’t they just stop the Dirty name? I guess it depends on if it fits for a dumb joke.

The third and final challenger Finn Balor comes out to a modified version of his old Demon theme. He is wearing a yellow hood of some kind. Cole taunts Barrett and asks for the story behind the mask/hood Balor wore. He’s also got bright ass yellow gloves on. Balor settles in the ring and his music dies down.

The spotlights hit the stage again and immediately the dogs start barking in Vegas. The reigning and defending WWE Intercontinental Champion makes his way out. Thankfully, a ridiculous cowboy hat is not part of his ring entrance gear. In fact, he’s literally just wearing a blue and white singlet, with his I-C title strapped around his waist. He settles in the ring fresh off of his Steiner Math 2025 promo at the kickoff event earlier this week.

The bell sounds and Breakker immediately goes to work on Penta in the corner with a rage. Dom and Balor just watch, until they decide to jump in. They do and double-team Breakker, throwing the champ out to the floor and posing together. Moments later, they get beaten down and thrown out. Penta hits a huge dive for a big pop. Breakker then launches himself into Penta in Brutus Ball-style.

Breakker gets Penta in the ring, but Penta responds with a superkick. Penta does the Cero Miedo taunt before going for a springboard cross-body, but Breakker slams him out of mid-air. Breakker then hits Balor with a military press powerslam. Breakker ducks a clothesline from Mysterio and connects with a Spear! 1… 2… Balor breaks up the pin. Breakker angrily stares at Balor, who starts to beg him off.

Breakker powers Balor to the corner and shoulders away at him. Breakker then attacks Penta and shoulders away at him. Breakker turns, and Balor hits him with a Sling Blade.

Randy Orton vs. Joe Hendry

A 20 years of Randy Orton in WWE video package plays after we see some more celebrities in the crowd, including Colby Covington, who gets very loud boos, and Metro Boomin, who gets very loud cheers. Back inside Allegiant Stadium, “Voices” plays and the tens of thousands of fans loudly sing along with it as “The Viper” heads to the ring.

“The Viper” got on the microphone upon getting in the ring, and said tonight marks his 20th WrestleMania. He vows whoever comes out is going to have their WrestleMania moment by getting beaten courtesy of the three most dangerous letters in WWE — R-K-O.

With that said, the familiar sounds of the viral smash hit, “I Believe In Joe Hendry” hit the house speakers inside Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, NV. And the “Sin City” crowd went nuts. Someone must’ve said his name, because TNA World Champion Joe Hendry just appeared.

The bell sounded to start things off, and maybe all of three to five minutes later, it rang again. A quick RKO victory for the WWE legend Randy Orton. After the match, Orton helped Hendry up and gave him some props and raised his hand to each side of the crowd, before ultimately planting him with another RKO and leaving him laying. Ouch.
