Stephanie McMahon talks about her WrestleMania loss
Stephanie McMahon’s music hits, and the crowd loudly boos. McMahon has her left arm in a brace. The crowd loudly chants, “You tapped out!” McMahon says she expected more from them. The crowd the night after WrestleMania has a certain international flavor — she smelled it on the way down — but she didn’t expect this. Most crowds have sympathy. Another loud “You tapped out” chant fires up. McMahon says they say that, but they were surprised last night by one woman who made the transition… and she did! McMahon says she was amazing and thanks them for their accolades. McMahon knew what she was doing. She knew when she challenged Ronda Rousey in her world that she’d get the best out of her and show the world what she’s made of. McMahon says she deserves that pat on the back. McMahon knows the crowd wants Ronda Rousey. McMahon couldn’t be more proud of what this woman accomplished last night. McMahon then introduces, “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey.
“Rowdy” Ronda Rousey’s music hits, and she makes her way to the ring to a huge ovation. Rousey is all smiles. Rousey high fives fans and gets in the ring smiling. McMahon congratulates her on making her tap out and says the better woman won. A loud “Ronda Rousey” chant fires up, and Rousey looks so happy. McMahon says Rousey is a role model for young girls and people everywhere. McMahon says she got beat by the best in the world, so she doesn’t feel bad. Rousey has to know that as a WWE superstar under contract to her, there’s nowhere they can’t go. They can blaze new trails the world hasn’t seen. McMahon can put the entire WWE machine behind her. With her in Rousey’s corner, they will all support her and their message. A “Bullsh–” chant fires up. McMahon says Rousey is smarter than the crowd. Rousey taught her a valuable lesson, and she paid the price. A despicable “Shut the f–k up” chant fires up. McMahon then tells the crowd to give it up for Rousey.
They embrace in the ring… and then Rousey takes her down! Rousey rips off McMahon’s arm bar and applies the devastating arm bar to the delight of the crowd. Rousey then walks off to cheers. EMTs help McMahon out of the ring while the crowd sings, “Kiss Him Goodbye” to McMahon. JoJo asks the crowd to show a little respect, and they loudly boo McMahon.
The commentary goes through the yearly spiel saying that the crowd is going to boo those that normally get cheered, but it’s all in good fun.

New RAW Women’s Champion Nia Jax makes her way to the ring. A “You deserve it” chant fires up.
Alexa Bliss’ music hits, and she comes out with Mickie James. Bliss calls Nia Jax a bully that likes to throw her weight around… which is clearly a lot of weight because it’s two-times the size of Mickie and three-times the size of her. An “A–hole” chant picks up. Bliss says Jax beat up James for no reason last night. That left Bliss distraught, which is why she lost last night. Bliss says she’s a compassionate woman. When she saw Jax decimate her friend, she competed under emotional stress. Jax tells her to shut up, which the crowd likes. Jax says she did enjoy every second of what she did to Bliss and James last night. Jax says, “I’m you new RAW Women’s Champion.” Jax says Bliss is wrong about tonight. She does have a partner tonight… Ember Moon!

Moon kips up and sends her to the ropes, but she lowers her head and eats a kick. Bliss is tagged in, and Moon kicks her down with an enzuigiri.

Finn Balor’s music hits, and he comes out smiling. Balor apologizes for interrupting him. Balor wants to get something off his chest. Rollins invites him into the ring. Balor congratulates Rollins and says he deserves it. Balor says Rollins was the better man last night… but last night was a triple threat match. There was a winner, there was a loser, and there was him left wanting more. Balor is here to tell him that he wants to be the first person to step up and challenge him for the Intercontinental Championship. Another “YES” chant fires up. Balor extends his hand. Rollins thinks about it and shakes hands with him.
The Miz’ music hits, and he comes out to loud boos along with The Miztourage. Miz looks furious. Miz is happy to interrupt this celebration because Rollins does not deserve it. Miz gets in the ring. Miz says he made the title the most prestigious and relevant title in all of WWE. That gets a loud ovation. Miz says he walked down the ramp last night by himself because he knew if The Miztourage was there, he’d never hear the end of his complaining when he beat him. Rollins asks if he means to say he can’t win without The Miztourage. Miz says he’s a changed man after becoming a father to his beautiful daughter. That gets a nice ovation. A “He’s got kids” chant fires up. Miz says he realizes everything he does in life affects her life. His baby watched the match last night in the arms of his wife, Maryse. Maryse told him when Monroe saw the pain in Miz’ eyes after Rollins stole his title, it made her cry. Miz says, “You made my little princess cry.” That made his wife cry. When that happened, Miz cried as well. Rollins says he’s proud of Miz. That’s big of him to admit that he cries. Rollins says that’s what everyone does when they watch him try to wrestle. Miz won’t get the title back because as good as he is, he can’t lace his boots.
Miz says he’s owed a rematch for the Intercontinental Championship. Rollins says he was hoping he’d mention it. If he wants to invoke his rematch clause, they can do it right here and now. A “YES” chant picks up. Miz asks the crowd if they want him to invoke his rematch clause, and they do. Miz declines. Miz says he’s in a custom suit. He’ll invoke his rematch clause whenever he wants. Miz will invoke his rematch clause at Backlash. Miz puts his hand up, so the crowd should shut their mouths in theory. They don’t. Miz says they need to learn to negotiate from a position of strength. Miz suggests if they want a match tonight, him and The Miztourage will face Rollins and Balor.

The crowd chants, “OHH WALK WITH ELIAS.” Elias looks pleased. Elias says he’ll perform tonight. It’s essentially the same crowd full of unappreciative scumbags from last night (they chant, “We are scumbags.”).

Roman Reigns addresses his devastating WM loss

Reigns has stitches along his hairline from the war against Brock Lesnar last night. Reigns looks down. Reigns goes to speak, but the crowd loudly boos him. Reigns says, “As you can see, I got my ass kicked last night.” The crowd cheers that. Reigns says he’s here tonight. Brock Lesnar isn’t. To be honest, he doesn’t really know what happened. When he arrived at the Superdome, everything felt off. People were talking behind his back, but what upset him most was Vince McMahon couldn’t look him in the eye and smarten him up. Lesnar is one hell of a businessman. Last Wednesday, it was announced Lesnar was going to UFC. Now he’s re-signed with WWE and he’s facing him in a Steel Cage Match, which he didn’t know about until he found out on the internet. If they keep putting him in matches with Lesnar, the story will end with him becoming Universal Champion.
Samoa Joe’s music hits, and he comes out to the stage. The crowd gives him a massive pop. Joe says it’s time to break out the tin foil hats because Reigns thinks there’s a conspiracy. Joe will bring him back to reality. Brock Lesnar didn’t just beat Reigns. Lesnar exposed him. For over a year, he said he was the only one that could beat Brock Lesnar. The reality is no matter how many whispers he heard or eyes that couldn’t meet him, he failed. That makes Reigns a failure. A “Failure” chant picks up. Joe says it also makes him a liar. Reigns lied to the fans, his family, and himself. Reigns is still lying. Every time Reigns gets in the ring with Lesnar, he gets jacked up. Reigns gets put through tables, stretchered out, and broken. Lesnar just gets richer. No matter how many times they tell the story, it’ll be the same thing. When the Big Dog meets The Beast, he gets conquered before making excuses for why it happened. Joe says the vicious cycle will end. When Lesnar is done rag dolling him against the cage and Reigns fails, he’ll be waiting at Backlash to put him to sleep! Joe then walks off while the crowd chants, “Joe.”
Still to come is a six-man tag team main event. Kevin Owens will take on Sami Zayn for a spot on the RAW roster. Coming up next, Titus Worldwide faces a mystery tag team in the Tag Team Eliminator.
