****** <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nShow Recap — <\/strong><\/p>\nKevin Owens entered to a big a reaction. He was about to talk about his upcoming match against Roman Reigns but JBL interrupted. <\/p>\n
JBL insulted the people of Alabama and claimed that they believed in Bigfoot and chupacabra \u2014 but even they did not believe Owens could beat Reigns. JBL introduced a man who could, Baron Corbin. <\/p>\n\nCorbin said Reigns was Georgia while Owens was Alabama \u2014 a loser. Owens buried his head in the turnbuckle out of boredom as Corbin spoke. Corbin said he would win the Royal Rumble and beat Reigns in the main event at WrestleMania. <\/p>\n\n\n\nJBL screamed at Owens for taking a nap. Owens said he was in a coma because JBL and Corbin have been talking for three minutes. Owens was ready for a fight because he figured the Bloodline would be there but he offered to fight Corbin instead. JBL used a lot of words to accept. <\/p>\n\nKevin Owens defeated Baron Corbin (w\/JBL) (8:30) <\/strong><\/p>\nOwens was mid-comeback following a break and hit a senton bomb for two. Corbin blocked a stunner and powerbomb before hitting a DDT for two and a Deep Six for two. Corbin came off the ropes but Owens popped up and hit a stunner for the pinfall win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\u2014 After the match, Owens immediately went to ringside and attacked Jimmy Uso (who entered through the crowd) before he could get jumped by the Bloodline. He also fought off Jey Uso momentarily but was overwhelmed once Solo Sikoa joined in. <\/p>\n\nOwens fought them off with a steel chair (and Mike Rome’s shoe) until the Bloodline bailed. Sikoa wanted to go after Owens but the Usos, Adam Pearce, and officials stopped him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n(Owens looked strong here and the crowd was into him.) <\/p>\n
After a break, the Bloodline were leaving the arena but Adam Pearce had some news for them first. He informed them that there would be a tag team turmoil match tonight to determine their next challengers and it would be filled with teams they’ve taken out. He also told Sikoa to stick around because he would have to face Dolph Ziggler. The Usos suddenly wanted to stay but Pearce had them escorted out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n****** <\/p>\n
Alexa Bliss segment <\/strong><\/p>\nThey played a replay of Alexa Bliss’ attack on Bianca Belair last week. The announcers said Belair wound up with stitches while Belair was fined an undisclosed amount. <\/p>\n
Bliss suddenly appeared by walking onto the announce table. She said Belair didn’t fear Bray Wyatt or Uncle Howdy, it was Bliss she was afraid of. \u201cBecause I am the face of evil.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nBliss spoke (unconvincingly) about how she would take the title from Belair when a spooky Wyatt\/Howdy\/whoever video played on the screen. <\/p>\n
Uncle Howdy appeared on the stage and the segment ended. <\/p>\n
(The crowd seemed quiet for Bliss’ promo.) <\/p>\n
****** <\/p>\n\n\nBefore the match, Bayley bragged about beating Becky Lynch. She told Dakota Kai and IYO SKY that they deserved a night off so she sent them to the back so they could enjoy kicking back and watching her beat Lynch’s \u201cfriend\u201d Michin. <\/p>\n\n\nBayley defeated Michin (8:07) <\/strong><\/p>\nMichin knocked Bayley down with a PK but Bayley was randomly in control following a break. Bayley hit a vertical suplex off the apron onto the floor for two. Michin came back with a suicide dive, strikes and a German suplex. Michin tried to spike Bayley with a leg scissors takedown but it looked like nothing and she made a cover for two. <\/p>\n\n\nThey traded counters until Bayley used a jackknife cover with her fight on the rope for the pinfall win. <\/p>\n\n\n****** <\/p>\n
Candice LeRae told Cathy Kelley that Johnny Gargano was at home recovering from an injury and was bummed about not being in the tag team turmoil match. <\/p>\n\n\nKelley asked LeRae what was next for her. LeRae spoke about the Rumble match before Rhea Ripley interrupted. Ripley said LeRae was delusional if she thought she could win the Rumble and LeRae proved her right by saying she had enough of a chance as Ripley. Ripley threatened to pluck her pixie wings apart at the Rumble so LeRae challenged her to a match tonight and she accepted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n(Nikki Cross could be seen briefly in the background staring a hole through LeRae.) <\/p>\n
****** <\/p>\n
[SECOND HOUR] <\/p>\n
Austin Theory\/Seth Rollins segment <\/strong><\/p>\nTheory entered. He said we need to accept that he was the now and the now was forever. Theory wondered where Seth Rollins was and the crowd chanted \u201cwe want Rollins.\u201d Theory said Rollins limped out on his old knee last week because he was outclassed by Austin freakin’ Theory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nRollins’ music hit and he entered on crutches. He took a few slow steps with the crutches before chucking one aside and prancing to the ring with the other. (Rollins still used one crutch to stand upright once he was in the ring.) <\/p>\n
Theory called himself the pinnacle of the industry and informed Rollins, \u201cI passed your ass.\u201d Theory was on to bigger and better things which meant winning the Rumble and walking out of WrestleMania as both the US and Universal Champion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nRollins informed us that his knee was not 100% but it would be in time for him to win the Rumble and main event WrestleMania. Rollins only came out here because he wanted to hear Birmingham sing his song. They did. \u201cI’ll see you at the Rumble, kid.\u201d Rollins left without his crutch. <\/p>\n
It seemed like the segment was over but Bobby Lashley entered. Lashley entered the ring as Rollins left. <\/p>\n\n\nTheory was in a panic and tried to attack Lashley with the crutch but Lashley ducked and hit a spear. The crowd chanted for Bobby. Lashley chucked Theory over the top rope and said, \u201cit doesn’t matter who is in the Royal Rumble \u2014 because I’m back!\u201d Lashley was ready to manhandle everyone in the Rumble. <\/p>\n\n\n****** <\/p>\n\n\nRhea Ripley defeated Candice LeRae (4:19) <\/strong><\/p>\nRipley was in control until LeRae brought her down off the middle rope with a German suplex. LeRae tried a dive but Ripley caught her and drove her into the barricade. Ripley applied a standing cloverleaf before swinging her into the barricade again. Ripley then hit Riptide in the ring for the pinfall win. This was a decisive win for Ripley.<\/p>\n
****** <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nByron Saxton tried interviewing Lashley but MVP asked him to leave because they had business to discuss. MVP offered Lashley a handshake but Lashley didn’t accept. MVP thought Lashley would show some gratitude after getting his suspension lifted. Lashley appreciated it but thought MVP should appreciate that he didn’t punch him in the face. <\/p>\n
MVP was trying to get them on the same page and spoke about Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander getting ready to put a \u201churt\u201d on the other tag teams later. Lashley said he wouldn’t forget everything they’d been through. MVP understood but asked him to consider expanding his \u201cbusiness.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n****** <\/p>\n
The announcers spoke about the \u201cbig news\u201d from a few days ago: Money in the Bank will be held at The O2 in London. <\/p>\n
****** <\/p>\n
There was a new Cody Rhodes video package with interview footage focusing on his pectoral injury and working through it at Hell in a Cell. Rhodes mentioned that he hit a springboard cutter in the match and he thought he would vomit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\u201cYou don’t want to see it but you can’t look away. I was the car wreck.\u201d <\/p>\n
Cody said he has not watched the HIAC match. He appreciated that it resonated with people but he doesn’t think he can watch it. Brandi Rhodes mentioned that Cody had some nerves going into surgery because he’s never gone through that before. Cody’s doctor said the surgery went better than expected but now he needs to heal. <\/p>\n\n\nRhodes wondered if he could return to the level he was at before. \u201cThe work begins now.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\nThis was really good. <\/p>\n
****** <\/p>\n
Kelley interviewed Ziggler about his match against Sikoa. Ziggler was focused on being the best, as always. The Bloodline went too far a few weeks ago and he was out for payback.<\/p>\n\n\nMustafa Ali interrupted. Ali just heard that Pearce offered him and Ziggler a chance to be in the tag team turmoil match but Ziggler declined because he wanted Sikoa alone. Ali mentioned that Ziggler cost him the US title a few weeks ago and now he was costing him a chance at the tag titles. <\/p>\n\n\nZiggler admitted that he cost Ali the US title but he owned up to that already. Tonight wasn’t about the tag titles or about Ali, it was about something more. <\/p>\n\n\n****** <\/p>\n
Saxton interviewed by Bronson Reed. He asked Reed why he helped the Miz. Miz jumped in and explained that Reed was an ethical man and they had each other’s backs. Miz called him a friend and invited him to watch Miz TV. Reed said they weren’t friends and if he wanted something, \u201cpay me.\u201d Reed left and Miz tried laughing it off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n****** <\/p>\n
Solo Sikoa defeated Dolph Ziggler (10:54) <\/strong><\/p>\nSikoa was dominating (through a break) until Ziggler fired back and hit a DDT for two and a Zig-Zag for two. Ziggler kicked his leg out of his leg and went for a fameasser but Sikoa caught him, hoisted him up and hit a mid-air Samoan Spike for the pinfall win. <\/p>\n
The Usos, who were kicked out earlier, joined Sikoa in celebrating. <\/p>\n\n\n****** <\/p>\n\n\nThey replayed clips of Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley crashing the Mysterio family holiday parties, as well as the prison Dom clip from last week. Judgment Day walked with Dom through the back and his face was covered by shades and a bandana. <\/p>\n
****** <\/p>\n\n\nKelley interviewed Bayley who said she sent a message to Lynch after beating both her and Michin. Michin cut her off and called her a liar and a cheat. Bayley said, unlike Becky, she was n’t above asking for help, just like she was n’t above asking for help in kicking her ass. Damage CTRL attacked Michin and laid her out. Bayley told her not to trust someone who wouldn’t be there for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n[THIRD HOUR] <\/p>\n
