(Following Shotzi costing Candice in another title match, Candice Lerae declares war on Shotzi Blackheart, by running over Shotzi's tank. Shotzi decides to get even with Candice, and challenges her to a Wargames match. Candice picks Dakota Kai and Raquel Rodriguez to be on her team, with a mystery 4th person. Shotzi picks NXT Women's Champion Io Shirai, Rhea Ripley, and Toni Storm to be on her team, until Toni turns heel on her and is revealed as Candice's 4th woman. Shotzi then brings in a returning Ember Moon to be her 4th teammate. Raquel Rodriguez gets the win for her team, by pinning Io Shirai.)
Tommaso Ciampa vs Timothy Thatcher
(Following Thatcher squashing Tyler Rust in a match on a November episode of NXT, he earns the attention of Tommaso Ciampa, who challenges him to a match at Takeover: Wargames IV, which Thatcher accepts. The 2 continue feuding following this match, which leads to a Fight Pit match on the 01/19/2021 episode of NXT, which Thatcher wins. This then leads to the 2 becoming tag team partners.)
Strap Match
Dexter Lumis vs Cameron Grimes
(Grimes begins feuding with Lumis after he costs him in a North American Championship match against Damian Priest, with Lumis then tormenting Grimes for weeks, and challenging him to a strap match at Takeover: Wargames 4. Grimes says that this Michael Myers wannabe has tormented his life for long enough, the torment ends at Wargames IV.)
Triple Threat Match for the NXT North American Championship
Leon Ruff (C) vs Johnny Gargano vs Damian Priest
(1 week after his title win over Damian Priest, Johnny Gargano spins a rigged will that lands on Leon Ruff to determine his challenger for the North American title that night. Priest interferes in the match, and distracts Gargano long enough for Ruff to roll up Johnny with a crucifix to win the North American Championship. The following week, Gargano and Ruff have a rematch for the title, with Johnny winning, but by DQ because Damian Priest slaps Leon Ruff. Ruff attacks Priest backstage for thinking he's a joke, because he's not, he's a fighting champion who says he can beat both Johnny Gargano and Damian Priest at the same time. Towards the end of the match, Austin Theory runs down and helps Johnny Gargano become a 3 time North American Champion.)
Men's Wargames Match
The Undisputed Era vs The Kings of NXT (Pat McAfee, Pete Dunne, Oney Lorcan, and Danny Burch)
(On the 10/20/20 episode of NXT, Roderick Strong and Bobby Fish are supposed to have a Tag Team Title Match against Breezango, but are mysteriously attacked backstage, leading to Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch stepping in on short notice. Towards the end of the match, a hooded fan pushes Fandango off the top rope to outside the ring while the ref's back is turned, with Danny Burch then low blowing Breeze, and hitting an assisted DDT to win the tag titles while simultaneously turning heel. The fan takes off his hood post-match to reveal their identity, and it's Pat McAfee, who then reveals he, Oney, and Danny attacked The UE backstage to take their place in this match. The following week, Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly confront McAfee and his goons over this, but are ambushed by a returning Pete Dunne, who's also now turned heel and aligned with McAfee. Adam Cole and The UE challenge Pat and his guys to this match, to finally rid the black and gold brand of Pat McAfee.)

TLC 2020
Date: December 20th, 2020
Location: United Center, Chicago, Illinois
Card
Pre Show
Raw Tag Team Championships
The Hurt Business (Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin) (C) w/MVP vs The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods)
(Now that Big E has been moved to Smackdown, Kofi and Woods are now forced to carry on The New Day as a duo, with them beating The Miz & John Morrison to become #1 contenders to the Raw Tag Team Championships. MVP says that Big E was the heart and soul of The New Day, and without him, The New Day means nothing. Woods & Kofi say that even though Big E is on a different show, that won't stop them from kicking their a$$es.)
Main Card
TLC Match for the WWE Championship
Drew McIntyre (C) w/Sheamus vs EC3 w/Omos
(After successfully sweeping Team Smackdown at Survivor Series, Mickie James grants EC3 (for being the captain of Team Raw) a WWE Championship match against Drew McIntyre at TLC. EC3 says that Drew has no idea what he's getting himself into, because while yes they're both stepping into uncharted territory, he can't lose as long as Omos is by his side, because Drew is going to receive an ass-kicking, courtesy of The Asskicking Machine, EC3. Drew says he doesn't have a problem with EC3, EC3 wants to be WWE champion, while he is WWE Champion, but if that skyscraper of a human being Omos tries to get involved, he'll get Claymore'd into outer space.)
Smackdown Women's Championship
Sasha Banks (C) vs Carmella w/Reginald
(Since Carmella costed her in her match against Shayna Baszler at Survivor Series, Sasha demands a match with Carmella at TLC. Sasha says that Carmella may be a very accomplished individual, but she needed help for every single one of those accomplishments, which is why they've never faced one on one, because Carmella isn't in her league. Carmella says that what can she say, men are obsessed with her, which makes Sasha jealous, it makes her blood boil that she's not Carmella, because unlike her, Sasha had to put blood, sweat, and tears to make it to WWE, while Carmella is so naturally talented that everything came easy for her the second she stepped foot in the WWE PC, which makes Sasha, right, because she's superior to Sasha in every single way, and she'll back her words up at TLC.)
Lumberjack Match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship
Sami Zayn (C) vs Big E
(Following his battle royal victory at Survivor Series, Big E is granted a shot at Sami Zayn's IC title by Adam Pearce. Big E says that Sami has built up quite the reputation over the past year, with all the count out wins, exposed turnbuckles, with Sami's margin for error being razor-thin, and as for Sami in the ring, he's like a house of cards, all it takes is one flick, one gust of wind, and everything comes crumbling down for him. Sami says that he's disappointed in Big E, he really thought he was different from everyone else, but he's just like them, trying to diminish him at every turn when he's beating people in 10 seconds, but instead of showing him the respect he deserves, he comes across as bitter while Sami is in the midst of a legendary IC title run, yet the last time Big E held the IC title was 7 years ago, the last time he was relevant by himself. They initially have their title match on the 12/11/2020 episode of Smackdown, which Sami wins, but by count-out after hiding under the ring for most of the match, which Adam Pearce is displeased with, so he sets up a rematch for TLC, but to ensure Sami can't hide under the ring, it's going to be... a Lumberjack Match! At the end of the match, Sami runs his mouth to Daniel Bryan and Cesaro, who respond by giving him an Uppercut and a Running Knee for his troubles. This allows for Big E to hit a Big Ending on Sami to become a 2-time Intercontinental Champion.)
Aleister Black vs Ricochet
(The 2 former tag partners collide! The feud begins back in the leadup to Survivor Series when Ricochet defeats Aleister Black to qualify for Team Smackdown. Black repays Ricochet for this a few weeks later when he attacks him after his match against Otis. Black says that the 2 of them have had very different trajectories since they went their separate ways, he started off as the strong one, reigning as United States Champion for almost a year, whilst Ricochet struggled to make a name for himself, and then all of a sudden, the shift in power changed, he began failing every major opportunity, whilst Ricochet was a star as Intercontinental Champion, so at TLC, he restores the balance in power back to his favor. Ricochet says that Black has gone off the deep end since they split, his right eye is messed up, and so is his sanity, which he'll restore for him at TLC.)
Tables Match for the Smackdown Tag Team Championships
Chad Gable & Mustafa Ali (C) vs The Dirty Dawgs
(Ziggler & Roode continue to go after Ali & Gable's tag team titles, promising to make them kiss those titles goodbye when they get put through a table. Ali & Gable say that Ziggler & Roode will choke on the big stage yet again, as they keep their tag title dream alive.)
Triple Threat Ladder Match for the WWE United States Championship
Bobby Lashley (C) w/The Hurt Business vs Dominik Dijakovic vs Matt Riddle
(Dijakovic still has unfinished business with The Hurt Business following Hell in a Cell, with him still hunting for Bobby Lashley's US Title. Matt Riddle gets added to the match following his role in sweeping Team Smackdown at Survivor Series, saying that even though he'd rather take the high road to the US Title bro, he won't let an opportunity like this slip away, bro. Lashley simply just wants to inflict violence on both men.)
Randy Orton, AJ Styles, The Miz, & John Morrison vs Keith Lee, Jeff Hardy, and Lucha House Party
(This match contains 3 different feuds that all overlap. After Survivor Series, Randy Orton and Keith Lee begin feuding, AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy begin feuding, and The Miz & John Morrison begin feuding with Lucha House Party. This all heats up on the go-home episode of Raw, when Keith Lee is invited onto an episode of MizTV. Miz & Morrison take numerous jabs at Lee during the MizTV segment, which leads to Lee attacking Miz & Morrison, only to be RKO-ed from behind by Randy Orton, and assaulted 3-on-1 by Orton, Miz, and Morrison, until Lince Dorado & Gran Metalik run down to even the odds. This leads to a 6-man tag team match later on in the evening. Also later on in the evening, AJ Styles has a backstage interview, where he also runs his mouth about Keith Lee, which leads to the 2 getting physical and having to get separated. The 6-man match ends in a DQ when AJ Styles runs down and attacks Keith Lee, until Jeff Hardy runs down to even up the odds. Mickie James see's the conflict between the 4, and makes an 8-man tag team match for TLC. Keith Lee scores the biggest win of his career so far, when he pins Randy Orton after countering an RKO into a Big Bang Catastrophe.)
Chairs Match for the Raw Women's Championship
Shayna Baszler (C) vs Alexa Bliss (By Technical Submission)
(The unhinged and marionette-like Alexa Bliss becomes #1 contender to Shayna's Raw Women's Championship following a battle royal victory. Shayna says that Alexa is becoming a problem, and Alexa knows how she deals with problems. Alexa says that she wants to play with Shayna at TLC, and unleash all types of havoc on her.)
TLC Match for the World Heavyweight Championship
Roman Reigns (C) w/Paul Heyman and Jey Uso vs Kevin Owens
(Following Survivor Series, Roman is disgusted that Smackdown lost at Survivor Series, making his win over Drew McIntyre meaningless, so he's going to take out the Smackdown roster one by one until they acknowledge him. He starts off with Daniel Bryan, then Otis, then he tries to do it on Kevin Owens, but KO fights back, giving Jey Uso a powerbomb through the announce table. KO says that for someone who says family is important, Roman Reigns treats his like trash. Roman tells Jey that KO looks at him with no fear, and he better fix that. Jey then challenges KO to match, and loses, and just as he's about to get powerbombed through the announce table again, Roman Reigns comes and attacks KO, with Roman then looking down the camera, telling KO's family "I'm the man who puts the roof over your head, I'm the guy who puts the food on your table, and if you don't talk some sense into Kevin, I'm gonna be the guy who takes the food off the table".)

NXT UK Takeover: London
Date: January 10th, 2021
Location: O2 Arena, London, England
Card
NXT Cruiserweight Championship
Jordan Devlin (C) vs Nathan Frazer
(Following Frazer's debut at Takeover: Glasgow, Frazer racks up wins over the likes of Jack Starz and Joseph Conners, before winning a #1 contenders match over Oliver Carter to secure a Cruiserweight title shot against The Irish Ace. Frazer says that he came to WWE to have gold around his waist, and he's wasted no time getting himself a title shot to accomplish that goal. Devlin's main focus however, isn't Frazer, it's over at NXT, as Devlin says that he has been busting his a$$ off for almost a year as Cruiserweight Champion, but Regal still isn't paying him the 6 figures that he's worth, and instead chose to hold a glorified #1 contenders tournament, and isn't even recognising him as the official champion, so he's gonna prove to Regal and the world why he's the real Cruiserweight Champion when he runs through Seth Rollins lite at Takeover: London. This is the same match that aired on the 01/07/2021 episode of NXT UK.)
Joe Coffey vs Rampage Brown
(former WCPW star Rampage Brown debuts in NXT UK in mid to late October. After several dominant victories over the likes of Saxon Huxley, Jack Starz, and even Dave Mastiff, he catches the eye of Joe Coffey. Coffey says he and Rampage crossed paths before in Progress and WCPW, but now NXT UK is his kingdom, and he’ll do whatever it takes to defend it. He challenges Brown to this match. Brown accepts and says he welcomes the Iron King’s challenge. This is the same hard-hitting hoss fight it was on the 02/18/2021 episode of NXT UK, only moved to this event. Both men shake hands after this match.)
NXT UK Tag Team Championships
Pretty Deadly (C) vs Gallus
(Gallus defeat Amir Jordan & Kenny Williams to become #1 contenders to Pretty Deadly's NXT UK Tag Team Championships. Pretty Deadly say that in the early days of this brand's history Gallus elevated this division, however, they've become stale, and it's up to them to ensure that the division doesn't get dragged down to their stale level. Mark Coffey & Wolfgang say that it's been a long time since The Gallus Boys were on top, and despite that, this is still their kingdom, like it has been since day 1, and as for Elton and Kit, their behavior is gonna cause them each a broken jaw and them to be titleless at Takeover: London. This is the same match as the 02/18/2021 episode of NXT UK, only it now happens here.)
NXT UK Women's Championship
Kay Lee Ray (C) vs Meiko Satomura
(The legendary Meiko Satomura joins NXT UK in early November (almost 3 months earlier than IRL), and immediately catches the eye of Kay Lee Ray. After several dominant victories over the likes of Xia Brookside, Dani Luna, and Nina Samuels, Meiko reveals her reasons for coming to NXT UK. She says she's dominated every promotion she’s been part of, from WXW and Progress in the UK, all the way to Stardom and Sendai Girls in Japan and back again, and now she’s in NXT UK for one purpose - to end KLR’s title reign. KLR says she considers Meiko one of the absolute best women’s wrestlers in the world, and that she needs to beat the best to solidify her spot as the greatest NXT UK Women’s Champion of all time. This is the same 20-minute gem as it was in real life on the 06/10/21 episode of NXT UK, only moved to this event. Meiko wins with a Scorpio Rising to become the new NXT UK Women’s Champion and end KLR’s 498-day reign as champion, marking it as the 4th longest women's title reign of the modern era behind AJ Lee's 504-day Divas title reign, Asuka’s 523 day reign as NXT Women’s Champion, and Alexa Bliss' 546-day Raw Women's title reign. KLR bows to Meiko in a show of respect after the match)
NXT UK Championship
GUNTHER (C) vs A-Kid
(Following A-Kid's monumental Heritage Cup win at Takeover: Glasgow, A-Kid declares that his next step is very clear, and that he wants to be the first ever man in NXT UK history to be NXT UK Champion and NXT UK Heritage Champion. GUNTHER says that watching A-Kid win the tournament was impressive, but how dare he claim to represent the heritage of this great sport, and that his fairytale will end once he steps into the ring with Der Ring General. This is exactly the same match they had on the 01/14/2021 episode of NXT UK, but in front of a live crowd. GUNTHER wins with a brutal short arm lariat to retain his title.)

Sasha Banks (C) vs Carmella

Main Card
Winner Takes All Match for both the WWE and WWE United States Championships
Drew McIntyre (WWE) w/Sheamus vs Bobby Lashley (US) w/The Hurt Business
(On the Raw after TLC, Drew McIntyre claims that following his victory over EC3, he's now beaten almost everyone there is to beat, and the list of potential challengers gets smaller by each day. The promo is interrupted by The Hurt Business, with MVP saying that Drew's a coward, he's faced everyone, but The Almighty Bobby Lashley, and he won't face Lashley because he knows he'll lose, so he can stick to being the soft little b*tch he is by avoiding Lashley as much as possible. Drew then claymore's MVP before getting attacked by Lashley, Benjamin, and Alexander. The following week, MVP issues a challenge to Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship on Lashley's behalf, with MVP saying that Lashley is so confident he'll win, he's willing to put his US title on the line as well. Drew says that MVP just made a mistake issuing this challenge for Lashley, because it's going to end badly. Towards the end of the match, the ref goes down after an accidental Claymore from Drew, which leads to Shelton Benjamin & Cedric Alexander getting into the ring to attack Drew until Sheamus fights both of them off. Sheamus then waits for Bobby to get to his feet so he can hit him with a Brogue Kick, but he doesn't. Instead, he intentionally hits Drew McIntyre with a Brogue Kick, turning heel once again, and then heads to the back. Lashley then hits The Spear, a new ref runs down, 1-2-3, The Almighty is a double champion.)
Smackdown Tag Team Championships
Chad Gable & Mustafa Ali (C) vs Apollo Crews and a mystery partner (Commander Azeez)
(Crews loses a singles match to Chad Gable on the Smackdown after TLC, which he looks pretty pi$$ed about. The following week, Crews losses another singles match, this time to Ali, where he snaps and turns heel by attacking both men afterward. The next week, Crews comes out sporting tights, a scarf, and a staff, claiming to now fully acknowledge his roots as Nigerian royalty. Ali & Gable says that Crews is losing his sanity, and their going to bring the real Apollo back. Apollo reveals his tag team partner to be the debuting Commander Azeez, with Azeez getting the pin on Ali after a Nigerian Nail.)
No Holds Barred Match to determine who will get the #30 entrant spot
Randy Orton vs Edge
(Edge returns in early January, and sets his sights straight for the man who tore his triceps, one Randall Keith Orton. Orton says he did what he had to do to protect Edge from being wheelchair-bound, and he knows damn well that a triceps tear is better than being paralyzed. Edge says he will dispose of this junkie who's been bitter over him for the past 15 years. This is the same match that aired on the 02/01/2021 episode of Raw, but with 0 Alexa Bliss interference.)
Bad Bunny segment

(The Omniflair returns in December of 2020 following TLC, and sets her sights on the Raw Women's Champion, Shayna Baszler.

Charlotte says that Shayna might have dominated just about everyone there is to dominate, but they weren't real competition, she needs to defeat her if she wants to be taken seriously as Raw Women's Champion.)
Last Man Standing Match for the World Heavyweight Championship
Roman Reigns (C) w/Paul Heyman vs Kevin Owens
(After their chaotic clash at TLC, The Tribal Chief and KO have a rematch on the Christmas Day episode of Smackdown inside a steel cage, where thanks to Jey Uso handcuffing Owens to the cage wall, Roma was able to win. Following this match, Roman turns his attention to Smackdown GM Adam Pearce, for making him have to defeat Kevin Owens again. Roman thinks Pearce iss doing a poor job as Smackdown GM, so he hands Paul Heyman a note "supposedly written from Vince McMahon himself" saying that Adam Pearce will compete in a gauntlet match to determine Reigns opponent. Reigns and Jey Uso beat the crap out of Rey Mysterio, who makes it to the end of the match, and who Adam Pearce is forced to pin to win the match, and then is beaten down by Roman afterwards. The following week, Pearce reveals that he talked with Vince, and Vince says the note is complete bullsh*t, and Pearce can handpick Roman's opponent at the Rumble, with him picking Kevin Owens. Roman says that KO is a cockroach that just won't die, no matter how many times he's tried to end him. KO says that Roman is extremely dependent on Jey Uso, and because of him, he went from being The Big Dog, to a soft a$$ p*ssy. Adam Pearce makes the match a Last Man Standing match to blowoff this intense feud. Same match as in real life, which includes the infamous golfcart spot, only now in front of a crowd, and Roman getting the win after choking Kevin out.)

Pete says he knew one day his paths would cross with Balor, and the only reason Balor still has the NXT Title, is because he hasn't decided to take it from him. Finn says that he knows that what he's in possession of makes him a target, drawing all different challengers, but one he's always wanted to face is Pete Dunne, but Pete's become a coward, hiding behind those 2 stooges Lorcan and Burch, he hopes the old Pete Dunne shows up at Takeover: Vengeance Day, because if that Pete doesn't show up, he will suffer. Following the match, The Undisputed Era come down to celebrate with Balor, until Adam Cole shockingly superkicks Balor. Cole then also superkicks Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong, breaking up The Undisputed Era.)

Roman Reigns (C) w/Paul Heyman and Jey Uso vs Kevin Owens vs Daniel Bryan vs Ricochet vs Cesaro vs King Corbin
(After yet another win over KO, Roman Reigns proclaims to be the most dominant World Heavyweight Champion of all time, and he will make everyone on Smackdown acknowledge him for that. Adam Pearce sets up an Elimination Chamber for the title, with Kevin Owens, Daniel Bryan, Ricochet, Cesaro, and King Corbin all qualifying for the match. Before the match begins, Seth Rollins (who has begun feuding with Cesaro) makes his entrance and joins the commentary team. During the match, Rollins hops off commentary and distracts Cesaro, long enough to be eliminated by Kevin Owens. Roman Reigns, Ricochet, and Daniel Bryan make it to the final 3, and Bryan is about to hit the running knee, but Edge (who is pi$$ed about being eliminated by Bryan at the rumble) breaks into the chamber and lays out Bryan with a spear, which allows Roman to hit a spear of his own on Bryan to eliminate him, before eliminating Ricochet for the win.)

Jeff Hardy vs The Miz w/John Morrison vs Matt Riddle vs Elias
(After Bobby Lashley defeated Drew McIntyre to become WWE Champion at the Royal Rumble, The Almighty vacates the US title the following night on Raw, with Adam Pearce announcing a new champion will be crowned at Elimination Chamber, with Matt Riddle, Jeff Hardy, The Miz, and Dominik Dijakovic all winning qualifying matches to get in the match. Due to Keith Lee having to be hospitalised for a heart inflammation, he is pulled from the WWE Championship #1 contenders Elimination Chamber Match, and Dominik Dijakovic is pulled from this match so he can replace Lee, leading to Elias getting the 4th spot in this match. Miz is about to win, but a Bad Bunny distraction and Damian Priest brawling with John Morrison on the outside allows Matt Riddle to hit the Final Flash on Miz to become the new US champ.)
WWE Women's Tag Team Championships
The Riott Squad (C) vs Sasha Banks & Bianca Belair
(Following her rumble victory, Bianca chooses to go after Sasha Banks' Smackdown Women's Championship at Wrestlemania 37. In an effort to drive a wedge between the two mania opponents, Sonya Deville (who Adam Pearce has hired to be his assistant so she can get learn how to be a GM under him) puts them in a match against The Riott Squad for the Women's Tag Team Championships. Liv & Ruby say that they don't care if Sasha and Bianca are opponents at Mania, it matters that they're their opponents, and they won't come out victorious. In the middle portion of the match, Liv is about to complete a hot tag to Ruby, but then, the lights go out, and the laugh of Alexa Bliss can be heard over the loud speaker. When the lights come back on, Alexa Bliss (who The Riott Squad are in a feud with) is seen on the stage swinging on a swing set, and Ruby Riott is nowhere to be seen, causing the match to become a 2-on-1 handicap match, Liv up against Sasha & Bianca. Towards the end of the match, in a mirror image to Sasha's match against The Riott Squad at Fastlane 2019 with the roles now reversed, Bianca is about to hit Liv Morgan with the KOD, but as she's about to hit the move, Sasha tags herself in. Bianca goes for the pin on Liv, but isn't the legal woman. Sasha and Bianca begin arguing, which Liv capitalises on, pushing Sasha into Bianca, then rolling up Sasha for the win.)
Fatal 5-Way Match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship
Big E (C) vs Sami Zayn w/Sami's Documentary Crew vs Angel Garza w/Zelina Vega vs Aleister Black vs Otis w/Mandy Rose

Angel Garza gets involved in this feud after pinning Big E in a match following a Sami Zayn distraction. Zelina says that no one wants to see this homeless man that has cameras following him everywhere he goes, it's time that wrestling royalty Angel Garza gets his shot at the IC title. Aleister Black (who turns face shortly after the Rumble after saving Kalisto from a beatdown by Otis) and Otis are added to the match after Aleister Black has a non title match against Big E, but it gets ruined by Otis, who attacks both men and causes a DQ. Black says he will tear all 4 of his opponent’s souls apart to become Intercontinental Champion. Mandy Rose says that after Otis dropped all of that dead weight known as Tucker, there is now nothing holding him back, and nothing standing in the way between him a championship gold.)
WWE Championship
Bobby Lashley (C) w/The Hurt Business vs Randy Orton
(Orton interrupts Bobby's WWE Championship celebration by giving him an RKO, wanting a shot at the WWE Championship. Randy says that it's embarrassing that it took him 16 years to become WWE Champion, when it only took him 5 years, and he can't wait to see the look on Bobby's face when he loses his title after only 3 weeks as champion. MVP says that Orton has just dug his own grave, and The Almighty will unload the dirt on him at Elimination Chamber
Elimination Chamber Match to determine who will challenge Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania 37
Drew McIntyre vs Sheamus vs EC3 w/Omos vs AJ Styles vs Braun Strowman vs Dominik Dijakovic

Location: Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Indianapolis, Indiana
Card
Pre Show
Aleister Black vs Otis w/Mandy Rose
(After both men fail to win the Intercontinental Championship, Black and Otis continue to feud with each other, which leads to a match between the 2 at Fastlane. Mandy says that all of Aleister's smoke and mirrors won't get to Otis, Otis will crush him like he has everyone else in this ring. Black says that he is #1 in violence for a reason, everything he does in that ring is violent, Otis may be a monster, but he is nowhere near as violent as him. A distraction by Mandy allows Otis to pick up the win with a World's Strongest Slam followed by a Running Splash.)
Main Card
Triple Threat Tag Team Match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships
The Riott Squad (C) vs Sasha Banks & Bianca Belair vs Dakota Kai & Raquel Gonzalez
(The "can they co-exist?" duo of Sasha and Bianca continue their feud with The Riott Squad over their Women's Tag Team titles, with Kai and Gonzalez (don't worry they aren't getting called up) getting involved following their Women's Dusty Cup victory. Kai and Gonzalez say that The Riott Squad and Sasha & Bianca shouldn't be underestimating them just because they're from NXT, they're going to represent their brand and bring those titles to the black and gold brand. During the match, Alexa Bliss interferes and takes out Liv Morgan at ringside, forcing Ruby to win the match alone. It looks like Sasha & Bianca have it won, but they can't co-exist, and an argument between the 2 of them allows Ruby to counter the K.o.D into a crucifix rollup to retain the Women's Tag Titles for The Riott Squad in Ruby's home state of Indiana. Sasha turns heel on Bianca post-match.)
Stretcher Match for Shinsuke Nakamura's World Heavyweight Title Shot at Wrestlemania 37
Shinsuke Nakamura vs Jey Uso
(After declaring that he will challenge Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania 37, Shinsuke Nakamura begins going after Roman Reigns any free second he gets, constantly playing mind games with The Tribal Chief. Roman then tasks Jey Uso with insuring that Nakamura doesn't make it to Wrestlemania, forcing Roman Reigns to go to Adam Pearce and forcing Shinsuke Nakamura into a match at Fastlane against Jey Uso with Nakamura's Wrestlemania World Title Shot on the line. Nakamura is fine with this, but he doesn't want a 1-on-1 match, he wants Jey Uso to feel the same pain he felt back at Summerslam after Heyman betrayed him, he wants Jey Uso... in a Stretcher Match! Jey says that just like when Roman hospitalised his a$$ at Summerslam, he's gonna do the same thing, because Nakamura ain't getting past The Right Hand Man, and he ain't getting to The Tribal Chief. The King of Strong Style ends up prevailing over Main Event Jey Uso to keep his World Title Shot at Wrestlemania 37.)
WWE Intercontinental Championship
Big E (C) vs Angel Garza w/Zelina Vega
(Garza and Big E continue to feud following Elimination Chamber. Zelina says that Big E has had his moment that has made all the fans clamour for him, but now, no one cares, because he reign as IC champ is just like his last one, lackluster and stale, which Angel Garza will gladly end. Big E says that Garza is just some poor man's Andrade, he even stole his valet.)
Smackdown Tag Team Championships
Apollo Crews & Commander Azeez (C) vs The Street Profits
(The Street Profits beat The Mysterios and The Dirty Dawgs to become #1 contenders to the Smackdown Tag Team Championships. The Profits say that Apollo was already doing great things, he doesn't need to result to turning into Killmonger from Black Panther. Apollo says that he is disappointed that 2 fellow black men are mocking him for going back to his roots, and he will make them suffer for it.)
Seth Rollins vs Mustafa Ali w/Chad Gable
(Rollins begins feuding with Cesaro following his return at the Rumble, costing Cesaro in the World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber match. Rollins beats down Cesaro on an episode of Smackdown, with Mustafa Ali running down to make the save, challenging Rollins to a match at Fastlane, which The Visionary accepts. Just as Ali is about to win after hitting the 054, Chad Gable pulls the ref out of the ring and heads to the back, turning heel. This distracts Ali long enough for Rollins to recover and lay out Ali so he can hit him with The Curbstomp for the win. Gable beats down Ali post match.)
Raw Tag Team Championships
The Hurt Business (Cedric Alexander & Shelton Benjamin) (C) w/MVP and Bobby Lashley vs Lucha House Party
(Lucha House Party defeat The Miz & John Morrison on Raw after Damian Priest & Bad Bunny disract Miz long enough for Metalik to hit a Metalik Driver on him to become the number one contenders to the Raw Tag Team Championships. MVP says that LHP, especially Metalik and Dorado, have been irrelevant for years, and how they are still challenging for tag team championships is laughable. LHP say that they don't care if MVP thinks they’re relevant or not, because they're walking out with the Raw Tag Team Championships at Fastlane. The Hurt Business win this match after Lashley lays out Gran Metalik with a vicious spear at ringside whilst the ref is distracted. This allows Alexander to hit a distracted Dorado with a Lumbar Check to retain the titles.)
Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn
(On the Smackdown after Elimination Chamber, Sami Zayn convinces Kevin Owens to be on commentary on one of his matches to point out anything that will prove there is a conspiracy against him. KO tells Sami that he couldn't see anything that proves there is a conspiracy against him, and he's just making this up. Sami snaps at this, and beats the crap out of KO, leading to this match. Before the match, Sami Zayn manages to convince Youtuber and Social Media "influencer" Logan Paul that there is a conspiracy against him, which leads to The Older Paul Brother running down an distracting Owens and allowing Sami to pick up the win.)
No Holds Barred Match - if Drew McIntyre wins, he will be added to the WWE Championship match at Wrestlemania 37
Sheamus vs Drew McIntyre
(Ireland vs Scotland. Drew admits he came up short against his former friend at Elimination Chamber, but not only does he want to finally get revenge on Sheamus, but he wants back the title Sheamus screwed him out of. Sheamus says that he's been wanting to kick Drew's arse for 20 years, he's had this coming for 20 long years, and he's gonna get that coming to him at Fastlane. Adam Pearce adds this stipulation that if Drew wins, he will be added to the WWE Championship match at Wrestlemania 37. This is the same match they had on the 03/01/21 episode of Raw (as I prefer that one over their Fastlane Match), with Drew winning after countering a Brogue Kick into a Claymore. Bobby Lashley attacks both men post match.)
World Heavyweight Championship
Roman Reigns (C) w/Paul Heyman and Jey Uso vs Ricochet (By Technical Submission)
(On the Smackdown after Elimination Chamber, following his domination of the Chamber match, Roman says that his win in the Chamber was overshadowed by Edge costing Daniel Bryan the match, and no one is talking about how he got the pin on Ricochet to win. This brings out the one and only, who says that all Roman cares about is the spotlight and people acknowledging him, because he acknowledges him as punk a$$ little b*tch who hides behind his cousin Jey Uso who also just so happens to assist him in all his victories. Jey intervenes, saying that Ricochet already got beat, and better fall in line. Ricochet then beats Jey Uso the following week thanks to Shinsuke Nakamura to earn himself a World Heavyweight title match against Roman Reigns. The 2 men go 30 mins against each other, with Roman getting the win after countering the 630 into a guillotine, making Ricochet pass out. After the match, Roman turns around into a Kinshasa from Shinsuke Nakamura, as Nakamura hoists up the World Heavyweight Championship as Fastlane goes off the air.)

NXT Takeover: Stand & Deliver

Location: Amalie Arena, Tampa, Florida
Cards
Night 1
KUSHIDA vs Cameron Grimes
(Grimes returns from an injury in early February, now as a millionaire after investing money in GameStop. Grimes begins going after KUSHIDA following his tittle loss to Johnny Gargano, saying that KUSHIDA is just some poor man's Marty McFly, and with his money, he could really turn KUSHIDA's career around. KUSHIDA says that he doesn't need help from some hillbilly mogul.)
LA Knight vs Bronson Reed
(The former Eli Drake makes his debut at Takeover: Vengeance Day, saying that NXT is now his game, and that, is just a fact of life. Knight begins going after Bronson Reed after costing him in a North American title match against Johnny Gargano (which is basically just their S&D Night 2 match IRL but now with LA Knight interfering.) Knight says that he will bounce this bowling ball of a dummy all across the canvas, and perform a strikeout at Takeover: Stand & Deliver, YEAH! Reed says that this knockoff Rock should've never came to NXT, because now he's in for a colossal beating.)

GUNTHER (C) w/Imperium vs Tommaso Ciampa w/Timothy Thatcher
(After being victorious in a match over Ludwig Kaiser, Tommaso Ciampa is attacked by not just Imperium, but GUNTHER, who makes a surprise appearance on NXT, lays out The Black Heart, and rips off the necklace Ciampa's family gave him. GUNTHER says that he's aware Tommaso Ciampa considers himself a wrestling veteran, a lockeroom leader in this great sport that he considered a priority above anything else, a dominant and ruthless champion, but now he has other priorities in life, it's not the most important thing in his life anymore, because Tommaso isn't a leader, he's just a shell of what he once was, and that's the difference between Ciampa and him, because his commitment for this sport is unreached, he's the longest reigning world champion of the modern era, he's the one who respects this sport and its sacred mat like nobody else, and at Takeover, he's gonna prove it. Ciampa says that GUNTHER has reminded him of his journey of how he got here, and GUNTHER saying isn't new, "he's old, he's broken, he hasn't been the same since neck surgery, he hasn't been the same since becoming a dad, he ain't the 2018 Ciampa, he's changed", GUNTHER may be right in some ways, but all of those words are fuel to the fire that motivates him, because at Takeover, the Black Heart is back, and he's taking that NXT UK Championship. This is the same barnburner that happened in real life.)
NXT Tag Team Championships
The Kings of NXT (Oney Lorcan & Pete Dunne) (C) vs MSK
(Due to an injury to Danny Burch, The Kings of NXT have had to activate the freebird rule to his and Burch's title reign to make Pete Dunne a champion so they can defend the titles against MSK at Takeover. Wes Lee & Nash Carter say they've travelled all across America just to get to this stage, this will be their crowning achievement at Takeover: Stand & Deliver. Dunne & Lorcan say that the Rascalz think there good just because they've been here for 5 minutes? Well newsflash, they can go back to Nashville Tennessee with their fresh prince knockoff friend.)
NXT Women's Championship
Io Shirai (C) vs Raquel Rodriguez w/Dakota Kai
(After her victory over Toni Storm at Takeover: Vengeance Day, Io handpicks Raquel Rodriguez to be her next opponent.

(On an episode of NXT UK in early March, NXT GM William Regal shows up to confront Cruiserweight Champion Jordan Devlin, telling JD he'll finally pay him what he wants so he can unify the Cruiserweight titles. Devlin says that because Regal waited so long to pay him, he doesn't what 6 figures anymore, he wants it in the 7 figures, which Regal is willing to do, just as long as he shows up to defend his Cruiserweight title against Escobar at Stand & Deliver, and he's not getting it until that match. Devlin then agrees to the match. The Irish Ace shows up on NXT the following week, and claims that Santos has been parading around as a paper champion for almost a year now, and now that he's finally been paid what he's worth, The Ace and true Cruiserweight Champion is back, his job is done. Santos says that he is the Cruiserweight champion, it's not his fault that Devlin became a crybaby who held out, the sport moves on, and the Cruiserweight division is now under the rule, of Legado Del Fantasma. During a stareoff between the 2, Shawn Michaels makes a rare appearance on NXT comes down and throws a ladder into the ring, leading to both men requesting to Mr. Regal that it be a Ladder Match at Stand & Deliver.)
Falls Count Anywhere Match
Swerve Strickland vs Leon Ruff
(Following both men failing to win the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, Swerve turns heel on Ruff by attacking him. Leon retaliates to this and attacks Swerve a few weeks later. Swerve says he's proud of Leon, he didn't think he had it in him, but know that he knows Leon does, it's obvious the ring can't contain both of them anymore, but that don't mean the entirety of the Amalie Arena can, so he challenges him to a Falls Count Anywhere match. Leon says he'll put an end to this game that Swerve's playing, because he's playing with his life. This is the same match that aired on the 05/05/21 episode of NXT, with the debuting Hit Row assisting Swerve to help him get the win.)
NXT North American Championship
Johnny Gargano (C) w/The Way vs Dexter Lumis
(Austin Theory re-emerges on the NXT after Takeover: Vengeance Day after Dexter Lumis kidnapped him. Johnny then challenges Dexter to a match the following week, where an inadvertent distraction by Theory costs Johnny the match, causing him to tap to Lumis. Backstage, Johnny and Candice tell their "son" Austin that they're sending him to therapy to help tackle this Dexter Lumis problem, with them telling their "daughter" Indi to help back them up on this, but Indi says that she thinks Dexter is kind of hot, which doesn't sit well with Johnny & Candice. The Way then go to therapy the following week and that segment plays out as it did in real life. Following this, William Regal sets up a #1 contenders battle royal to determine the #1 contender to Johnny Gargano's North American Championship. Austin Theory is in this match, and Johnny tells his "son" to win the match, so he can just lay down at Takeover and let his "dad" pin him. That doesn't happen as Lumis wins the battle royal, last eliminating Theory to win. Johnny says he will put an end to this perverted creep once and for all. It looks like Johnny has the match won after hitting Lumis with the One Final Beat, but a hypnotized Indi Hartwell pulls the ref out of the ring, which distracts Johnny Gargano long enough for Dexter Lumis to lock in Silence and make Johnny Gargano tap out to become the new North American Champion.)
Unsanctioned Match
Adam Cole vs Kyle O'Reilly
(After Adam's shocking betrayal at Takeover: Vengeance Day, Kyle O'Reilly demands answers from Adam Cole as to why he did it.

Kross sends Damian Priest packing from NXT, demolishes Santos Escobar, and then eventually attacking Finn Balor after his successful title defense against Adam Cole. Kross says that this debate about who the true NXT Champion is needs to be settled once and for all, because as much as Finn loves to masquerade as the champ he thinks he is, he's not the champion, he's not the champion until he beats the last man who held that title. Finn says everyone wants to be champion until the real champions steps in the room, and Kross may carry himself as a champion, but he surrendered the belt to prove he's the champion because he banged his shoulder. Kross wins with a pair of Kross Hammers to become a 2 time NXT Champion.)

(Bobby's first big title defense of the WWE Championship. Drew says that he and Lashley have had similar journeys to the top, both leaving the WWE and having to start at the bottom before working their way back, scratching and clawing their way to the top, but there's one difference between Lashley and him, he beat 29 other men to win the royal rumble and kick Brock Lesnar's head off in the main event of Wrestlemania 36, Lashley only got the belt because Sheamus decided to throw away a 20-year friendship and stab him in the back, but now it's every man for himself, and at Wrestlemania 37, he's going to take back his WWE Championship from that big bald b*tch. Sheamus says he doesn't care that he assisted Bobby Lashley to become WWE Champion, he just wants that belt back after 11 years of it being taken away from him.

Seth Rollins vs Cesaro
(On his first appearance back on Smackdown following the Royal Rumble, Seth Rollins (who's started wearing the most ridiculous suits) cuts a promo with almost the entire Smackdown roster surrounding him about how during his time away his life changed for the better when he became a dad, and that change has given him a new vision to embrace, but when he looks at the current Smackdown roster, where does he fit in? And after a lot of self-reflection, the answer became very clear to him, he needs to become the great leader that Smackdown needs to push this brand into the future and make it greater than it already is. This line causes everyone to walk out on Seth, except one, Cesaro. Seth then tells Cesaro he knew he would get it, he knew of all people, Cesaro would understand. Cesaro then walks out on Seth too, which causes Seth to snap and attack Zazaro. Seth Rollins then joins the commentary team for the World Heavyweight Championship match at Elimination Chamber, and hops off commentary during the match to distract Cesaro and cause his elimination. Rollins tells Cesaro that if he had listened to him, he wouldn't have done what he had to do, he wouldn't have interfered in the Elimination Chamber match and maybe, just maybe, Cesaro would be standing here the World Heavyweight Champion, but it's never too late to embrace the vision. Cesaro declines Seth's offer, and attacks him, giving him the Cesaro Swing, and challenging him to a match at Wrestlemania 37, which Seth accepts.)

The match ends in a no contest when EC3 & Omos come out and attack both teams. This leads to Mickie James making a Triple Threat Tag Team Match between The Hurt Business, The New Day, and Lucha House Party for Wrestlemania 37, however, since she knows that EC3 wants in on the action, if EC3 can win a Fatal 4-Way over 1 representative from each time, he and Omos will be added to the match.

Braun Strowman vs Dominik Dijakovic
(Dijakovic and Strowman begin feuding following Strowman being eliminated by Dijakovic at Elimination Chamber. Braun says that Dominik is just some flash in the pan who didn't amount to anything in NXT, and not only that, but he hasn't won a single main roster PPV match, so he'll gladly send him on a one-way trip back to the CWC. Dijakovic says that Braun is the biggest fake tough guy he's ever seen, he gets taken to his limit easily, and his weaknesses are exploited with no real challenge, which is exactly what's going to happen at Wrestlemania 37.)
AJ Styles vs Triple H
(After coming up short in both the Royal Rumble and the Elimination Chamber, AJ Styles cuts a promo and demands that the show can't go on without him, he's the guy who main evented night 1 of Wrestlemania 36, and he demands he has a match at Wrestlemania 37 or else Titan Towers will end up looking completely different. Triple H then interrupts Styles, telling him that he will find AJ an opponent for Wrestlemania so he isn't excluded from the card. AJ then attacks Hunter, laying him out with a Styles Clash, before telling Trips "I already found one, and I'm looking right at him". A few weeks later, Triple H responds to AJ, saying he accepts his challenge for Wrestlemania, and he will be in for the ass-kicking of a lifetime at the hands of The King of Kings, The Cerebral Assassin, The Game.)

Just as things are about to get physical between the 3, Damian Priest runs down to layout Miz & Morrison. Things escalate between the 4 over the next month, with Bad Bunny & Priest costing Miz the US title at Elimination Chamber, and costing Miz and Morrison in a tag team battle royal.

Riddle says that he likes Randy, he's cool, but he's not gonna let Randy rain on his parade and take his US title. Following the match, Orton offers Riddle a handshake, which Riddle accepts, with Orton then raising his hand, RK-Bro is officially formed.)
WWE Women's Tag Team Championships
The Riott Squad (C) vs Alexa Bliss and a mystery partner (Blair Davenport)
(After failing to defeat Shayna Baszler back at TLC, Alexa Bliss turns her attention back to what happened to Survivor Series, and begins targeting Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan, constantly tormenting them while they also feud with Sasha Banks & Bianca Belair, with Bliss saying that Liv & Ruby have something she wants, and she'll ensure that The Riott Squad have their final Riott when she takes them, because she has the perfect partner to help take them from her. Liv & Ruby say that it's not going to matter who Alexa's partner is, nothing will stop their title reign. Alexa's partner is revealed to be... Blair Davenport! (the former Bea Priestley's signing is announced a few days earlier, and she skips both NXT UK and NXT). Davenport makes an immediate impact by getting the win for her team with a Kamigoye on Ruby Riott to win the Women's tag titles in her first match, ending The Riott Squad's 231-day reign.)
6-Man Tag Team Match
Kevin Owens, Ricochet, and Mustafa Ali vs Sami Zayn, Chad Gable, and Logan Paul
(The second match during this event to involve a celebrity. The Sami & Logan vs KO feud heats up on an episode of Smackdown when KO runs down to attack Sami and The Paul Brother that people actually like after a match between Sami and Ricochet. The following week, Owens has a match against Chad Gable, that ends in a DQ after Sami & Logan run down and attack KO, with Gable joining in on the beatdown. Ricochet runs down to save KO, but they're still outnumbered 3-2, but that's when Mustafa Ali runs down to even the odds. Owens, Ricochet, and Ali challenge Sami, Chad, Logan to a match at Wrestlemania, promising to rid the entire world of this waste of space that is Logan Paul. Sami says that this wouldn't have happened had Kevin agreed that there is a conspiracy against him. Logan takes the pin after eating a stunner from KO, and a 630 + 054 from Ricochet and Ali.)
Casket Match
Alesiter Black vs Otis w/Mandy Rose
(After a Mandy Rose distraction helped Otis defeat him back at Fastlane, Black challenges Otis to a rematch at Wrestlemania 37, however, he chose to step into Otis' world of a pure wrestling match, and that didn't work out for him, so Otis is gonna step into his world, because he wants Otis... in a Casket Match! Mandy Rose accepts on Otis' behalf, saying that Black is 0-2 in Casket Matches, Otis will make it 0-3 at Wrestlemania when this Twilight freak is laid to rest. Mandy tries to interfere in the match like how she did at Fastlane, but she's sprayed with black mist for her troubles. Black ends up winning with 3 Black Masses, closing the casket lid on Otis.)
Firefly Funhouse Match
"The Fiend" Bray Wyatt vs Vince McMahon (No Contest)
(Following Survivor Series, Bray Wyatt is imprisoned in the Funhouse, with there only being one force strong enough to pull him out, one force that can set him free, the devil himself. Shortly after Elimination Chamber, Shane McMahon appears on Raw, and is attacked by The Fiend. The following week, Stephanie McMahon appears on Raw and is attacked by The Fiend. The following week, Vince McMahon comes down to the ring and says he won't have his family threatened, and calls Bray Wyatt down to the ring, with Bray appearing, telling Vince "You called me up boss. I was trapped in limbo, and you were the only person that could pull me out, looks like I had to make an awful lot of noise for you to notice me". Vince challenges The Fiend to a Firefly Funhouse match at Wrestlemania, saying that he's gonna do what he should've done a long time ago. Bray accepts, saying their match will be "such good sh*t". The match is a rundown of Vince's career and best moments, the ending of the territory days, the Austin feud, being strapped into a lie detector chair by the Vince doll, all of the puppets confronting Vince, with Vince ripping the head of Huskus the Pig Boy, saying "you disgust me", Vince and Bray having an arm-wrestling match, with Vince telling Bray "you're weak, you've always been weak". Eventually, fire starts to emerge, surrounding the 2 men, with Bray revealing to Vince that the last 2 targets are Vince McMahon, and The Fiend. Bray transforms into The Fiend one last time, he takes out Vince with the Mandible Claw, as the flames draw closer and closer to them, with Vince and Bray going up in smoke, with this being the end of Vince (for about 3 weeks because it's Vince, nothing is permanent when it comes to him), and The Fiend. Bray then takes a lengthy hiatus from WWE due to nagging injuries)

(Entrants are: Jey Uso, Jeff Hardy, King Corbin, Elias, Jinder Mahal, Buddy Murphy, Dio Maddin, Shane Thorne, Kalisto, Akira Tozawa, Humberto Carillo, Erik, Ivar, Drew Gulak, R-Truth, Riddick Moss, and Tucker.)
Escalera De La Muerte (Ladder Match) for the WWE Intercontinental Championship
Big E (C) vs Angel Garza w/Zelina Vega
(Garza continues his relentless attacks on Big E, demanding one more match, which Big E accepts, saying Angel can take all of these ass-whoopings. Zelina says that she knows that Garza will be at a disadvantage at Wrestlemania 37 cause it will be in Big E's hometown of Tampa, so that's why Angel will have a bit of home field advantage, as the match will be an Escalera De La Muerte (a ladder match.) Big E says he has no idea what an Esca Despicoto or whatever it's called is, he ain't losing in his hometown.)
Career vs Career Match
Daniel Bryan vs Edge
(Edge reveals his reasons for attacking Daniel Bryan and costing him at Elimination Chamber. Edge says that when Bryan got medically cleared to come back, it inspired him to come back, it inspired him to work his a$$ off 24/7 to one day become medically cleared, but what he couldn't stand, is everyone saying that Bryan had the saddest retirement ever, it made everyone forget how he was forced to go out, so the only day to redeem himself for that, is to permanently end the career of Daniel Bryan, so he challenges Daniel to a career vs career match at Wrestlemania 37, night 2. Bryan accepts Edge's challenge, telling Edge that April 11th, 2011 is an important day to Edge, that's the day he retired, so it's only fitting that 10 years later on that day, he sees clearly, everything has come to life in a bitter place, and a broken dream, that he leaves it all behind once again. Edge wins, with a Spear, and the career of Daniel Bryan is once again over. Bryan gets an emotional sendoff, with the crowd giving him a standing ovation, chanting "Thank you Bryan", as he does one final yes chant up the ramp. Daniel Bryan is dead, and The American Dragon Bryan Danielson, is reborn.)
Raw Women's Championship
Shayna Baszler (C) vs Rhea Ripley
(Following her confronting Shayna at Elimination Chamber, Rhea wins a #1 contenders battle royal to become Shayna Baszler's opponent at Wrestlemania. Rhea says that she was the one to rid NXT of the plague that was Shayna Baszler, and now she'll do the same again, this time for Raw. Shayna says that Rhea got lucky the last time, the main roster is a whole different plane of existence compared to NXT, and this is a plane of existence that no one has defeated her in, so why does she think she will. Rhea gets the win with an Avalanche Riptide, ending The Queen of Spades' 372-day reign as champion.)
World Heavyweight Championship
Roman Reigns (C) w/Paul Heyman and Jey Uso vs Shinsuke Nakamura
(A rematch 8 months in the making. Shinsuke says that Paul is a snake, he turned his back on him, he threw away 3 good years as advocate and client just to become the stooge to some background character in Fast and Furious, and he'll realize how big of a mistake that was at Wrestlemania 37, when Roman is on the receiving end of a Kinshasa that makes Shinsuke Nakamura once again, World Heavyweight Champion. Roman says that he did everyone a favour when he took out Shinsuke Nakamura, he put the fear back into the locker room, he made them acknowledge him, and at Wrestlemania 37, Shinsuke will too. After a 25-minute slugfest, Roman smashes Shinsuke, stacks him, and pins him to remain the World Heavyweight Champion.)

Card
Pre Show
Mustafa Ali vs Chad Gable
(Following Ali being victorious over Chad Gable in the 6-Man Tag Team Match at Wrestlemania, the 2 continue feuding. Gable says that Ali was nothing but dead weight that he had to carry night in and night out all throughout their title reign. Ali says that if it wasn't for him, Chad Gable would still be out of a job. Gable wins after Otis (who kicked Mandy Rose to the curb shortly after his Wrestlemania loss to Aleister Black) interferes and helps Chad Gable win, forming The Alpha Academy.)
Main Card
WWE Women's Tag Team Championships
Alexa Bliss & Blair Davenport (C) vs The Riott Squad
(Liv and Ruby invoke their rematch clause against Alexa and Blair, saying that Blair's arrival at Mania caught them off-guard, but now they're ready. Blair says she came to WWE because this is a promotion that knows how to treat talent like her correctly, not firing her because she couldn't get into the country because of circumstances out of her control (a reference to how AEW let her go). Following the match, Blair and Alexa handcuff Liv to the ropes, grab a set of chairs, and repeadlety hit Ruby with conchairtos. Referees and EMTS then run down to help Ruby and free Liv, as Liv quickly crawls over to Ruby's lifeless body, treating us with a visual of Liv cradling Ruby as she lets out a deafening scream. Ruby Riott is then carried away on a stretcher, with this being her last match in WWE. As Ruby is lead away, Liv Morgan has a look of pure rage.)
WWE United States Championship
Matt Riddle (C) w/Randy Orton vs Dominik Dijakovic
(Dijakovic beats Elias and The Miz in a triple threat match to get this opportunity against Riddle. Matt Riddle says that under the guidance of his new best friend RAAAAANDY, he's got a whole new skill set of moves in his arsenal, a skill set that will ensure he walks out the new United States Champion. Dijakovic says that he doesn't need some snake like Randy to guide his career, because he'll have the US title to do that for him. Dijakovic gets the win by countering an RKO attempt from Riddle into Feast Your Eyes to become the new US Champ.)
Smackdown Tag Team Championships
The Mysterios (C) vs Apollo Crews & Commander Azeez
(Crews and Azeez invoke their rematch clause against Rey & Dominik. Apollo says that he and Azeez weren't even pinned for those titles, how can Rey and Dominik call themselves champions without beating Nigerian Royalty. Rey and Dominik say that they didn't need to pin Walmart Killmonger and M'Baku to win the belts, but if they want a rematch, they'll give it to them.)
AJ Styles vs Damian Priest
(instead of being in the colossal failure that was the zombie lumberjack match, Damian Priest enters into a feud with AJ Styles, after Priest scores a victory over The Phenomenal One. AJ says that this flash in the pan thinks he's on top of the world because he got to tag with one of the biggest musicians in the world, but now that Bad Bunny went back to his home planet, Priest has no identity, and now his only claim to fame is he got a fluke pin over him. Priest says that AJ was just another opponent for him, his victory over him, yeah sure, it was one of the biggest of his carer, but if he wants to hold a grudge over it by attacking him, then he has a problem.)
Seth Rollins vs Jimmy Uso w/Jey Uso
(Shortly after Wrestlemania, Roman Reigns announces that Jimmy Uso will be returning to Smackdown. When Jimmy returns, Roman goes to hug him, but he stops Roman, still being bitter about what happened at Hell in a Cell 2020, saying that if it were him against Roman, he wouldn't of said he quit, and just so Roman knows, he's nobody's b*tch. Roman tells Jimmy that he and Jey have moved forward from that, and he needs to as well, and he gives Jimmy an ultimatum, fall in line and acknowledge him, or take his a$$ home, with Jimmy seemingly falling in line. While all this is going on, Roman is also feuding with Cesaro, who is also feuding with Seth Rollins. Roman gives Jimmy and Jey orders to cost Cesaro in his #1 contenders match against Seth Rollins, but Jimmy inadvertently costs Seth the match, leading to this. Before the match, Seth tells Roman that he shouldn't of sent The Usos out there, because now his family is his problem, and he has to clean up his mess. Roman tells Seth that if he didn't lose to Cesaro, we wouldn't be in this situation.)
Raw Tag Team Championships
EC3 & Omos (C) vs The Hurt Business (Shelton Benjamin & Cedric Alexander) w/MVP
(Shelton & Cedirc invoke their rematch clause against Ethan Carter the 3rd and his tall friend who used to play basketball. EC3 says that Shelton & Cedric were great champions, but they both pale in comparison to Omos, who has all of their talents combined and is just naturally superior to them in every way, and that's not even mentioning him, a former Intercontinental Champion who held the belt for 295 days, with his and Omos' talent combined, they will never lose the Raw Tag Team Championshpis.)
WWE Intercontinental Championship
Angel Garza (C) w/Zelina Vega vs Ricochet
(Ricochet interrupts Angel Garza's championship celebration on the Smackdown after Wrestlemania 37, beginning a feud between the 2. Zelina says that Ricochet had some nerve coming down an interrupting the corrination of the next great Intercontinental Champion, and now he'll feel the wrath of The Lethal Lothario. Ricochet says he's sick of Garza's arrogance, thinking he's this hot commodity, when in reality, he's just Eddie Guerrero lite.)
Smackdown Women's Championship
Bianca Belair (C) vs Bayley
(Following her Alundra Blayze women's battle royal victory at Wrestlemania, Bayley carries this renewed momentum into a feud with the new Smackdown Women's Champion, The EST, Bianca Belair. Bayley says that Bianca is just some ungrateful rookie, because when Bianca first came to Smackdown, she got the opportunity to work with her, she learnt to take those training wheels off when she was in the ring with Bayley, and that prepared her for her big Wrestlemania 37 moment, which she never got a thank you for, because she's rude, selfish, spoiled, and she's gonna take back what's rightfully hers, the Smackdown Women's Championship. Bianca says that Bayley is to focused on her confidence, when she should be focusing on herself, because that's going to be her downfall at Backlash.)
Triple Threat Match for the Raw Women's Championship
Rhea Ripley (C) vs Shayna Baszler vs Charlotte Flair
(The Omniflair returns on the Raw after mania after a brief absence, and targets new Raw Women's Champion Rhea Ripley. Charlotte says due to health problems, she had to miss Wrestlemania, which lead to that thorn in the side of Raw's Women's division getting that title shot that she should've gotten, but it's ok, she's perfectly healthy now, so she can become a 6 time women's champion. Shayna invokes her rematch clause to get into this match, saying that Rhea keeps on getting these fluke victories over her, and lucks her way to victory, and as for Charlotte, no one likes her, why is she still here?. Rhea says that she's already beaten both of these "horsewomen", they can have another one for free.)
Fatal 4-Way Match for the WWE Championship
Bobby Lashley (C) w/MVP vs Drew McIntyre vs Sheamus vs Braun Strowman
(Following Lashley retaining at Wrestlemania, both McIntyre and Sheamus continue to pursue Bobby Lashley for his WWE Championship, with Sonya Deville announcing that the 3 will run their Wrestlemania Triple Threat back at Backlash, only now, it's going to be a Fatal 4-Way. Braun Strowman wins a Fatal 5-Way Match over AJ Styles, Damian Priest, The Miz, and Randy Orton to earn the 4th spot in this match. MVP says he's already beaten Drew, twice, and he whooped Sheamus's a$$ at Wrestlemaina, so why are they both getting another shot, and as for Strowman, he'll be sent into an early retirement once The Almighty is done with him. Strowman says that Bobby Lashley can't just face the same guys over and over again, because it'll show everyone he fears the Monster Among Men. Drew says he won't stop until he reclaims the WWE Championship. Sheamus says that Bobby got lucky at Wrestlemania, but he won't be so lucky against The Celtic Warrior this time. Sheamus suffers a broken nose in this match that forces him to dawn a protective mask for a few months.)
World Heavyweight Championship
Roman Reigns (C) w/Paul Heyman vs Cesaro (By Technical Submission)
(On the Smackdown after Wrestlemania 37, Roman Reigns is cutting a promo about how he called his shot, he smashed Shinsuke Nakamura, he stacked Shinsuke Nakamura, 1-23 he pinned Shinsuke Nakamura, he made Nakamura acknowledge him, and it was so embarrassing that they're probably never gonna put him in another match against Shinsuke Nakamura again, and no one is going to want to face him, no one is gonna want him to do that to them. Roman's promo is interrupted by Cesaro, but before Cesaro can say anything, Roman just heads to the back. Cesaro says that Roman doesn't respect anyone on the roster other than himself, hell he doesn't even respect that World Heavyweight Championship as much as he does, so he's gonna do everyone a favour and take that championship away from Roman at Backlash. Same match as IRL, with Roman making Cesaro pass out to the Guillotene. Following the match, Seth Rollins comes down, and has a stare off with Roman. It looks like Seth's going to attack Roman, but he instead attacks Cesaro.)
