Results by: Mike Tedesco of Wrestleview.com

“Then. Now. Forever.” The WWE video leads us into the show.

The Raw video plays, and we’re brought into the arena to see a big pyrotechnics display. Tonight, we’ll see the return of Edge to Raw. Edge is back to avenge his wife after Randy Orton gave Beth Phoenix an RKO last week.

We go into the garage to see a camera crew waiting for the arrival of Edge.

Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch makes her way to the ring. After winning the Elimination Chamber last night, Shayna Baszler will fight Lynch for the title at WrestleMania 36. A “Becky” chant picks up. Lynch says, “Washington, D.C., the Man has come around.” The time for joking is over. She finally knows who her WrestleMania opponent is, the cage fighter Shayna Baszler.

Video Package: Shayna Baszler destroys five women inside Elimination Chamber to win an opportunity at the Raw Women’s Championship

Shayna Baszler appears on the titantron. She says at WrestleMania, she is taking the Raw Women’s Championship. Baszler says, “And there’s not a damn thing you can do about it, bitch.” A “Becky” chant picks up. Lynch says Baszler cut through the entire field in minutes, including the one person it took Lynch her entire career to beat. Baszler was a successful cage fighter, the longest combined champion in NXT history, and a world class scumbag. Lynch calls Baszler a black hole of charisma. While she may be a bitch, she’s the bitch that runs this division. Another “Becky” chant picks up.

Lynch used to only recognize her as the constipated robot from NXT that refused to shake her hand after last year’s WrestleMania. Lynch remembers. Lynch says Baszler was bitter that she ripped this title out of her friend Ronda Rousey’s broken hand. Lynch has beat trained killers and will do it again. At WrestleMania, it’ll be The Man vs. The Queen of Spades. Lynch believes Baszler is underestimating her. She’ll smash Baszler’s face in for it. Lynch holds the title up.

Drew McIntyre will be in action later tonight.

Video Package: Rhea Ripley visits Raymond James Stadium ahead of WrestleMania 36

Charlotte Flair makes her way to the ring. Flair asks if everyone saw that video package. Meet Rhea Ripley, the next big thing, the new shiny toy. Flair sarcastically says, “Inspiring.” Flair is confused. Ripley said in order to be the best, she has to beat the best… but Ripley doesn’t want to be anything like her because she wants to be herself. Flair wants to make one point: Ripley isn’t Flair, she’ll never be Flair, and there is only one of her. Ripley can continue to be shiny and the next big thing because it won’t last. Flair is here to remind everyone why she is fighting for the NXT Women’s Championship. Flair wants to teach Ripley a lesson. It’s one thing to stand in an empty stadium talking about your hopes and dreams. It’s another thing to stand in an arena with 90,000 people and be humbled by The Queen. WOO!

-Commercial Break-

AJ Styles makes his way to the ring with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. Styles does not look happy. Not once, but twice did Undertaker stick his nose in his business where it doesn’t belong. Not once, but twice did Undertaker take moments from him. Undertaker stole a beautiful trophy from him at Super ShowDown and at Elimination Chamber, he cost him a match.

Video Package: The Undertaker returns at Elimination Chamber to help Aleister Black defeat AJ Styles

A loud “Undertaker” chant picks up. Styles looks disgusted. Three years ago at WrestleMania, he saw the Undertaker get beaten by Roman Reigns. After the match, Undertaker folded up his coat and walked up the ramp like he was walking off into the sunset. Undertaker probably should have done that after Brock Lesnar beat him. Still, it was a beautiful, powerful moment. Undertaker ruined it by coming back. Styles asks if it was ego. Whatever it was, it’ll cost him. Styles wants Undertaker at WrestleMania.

A few years ago, he’d have been hesitant about calling Undertaker out. Truth is he doesn’t see a monster or a phenom. He sees a broken down old man named Mark Calaway! Undertaker should have retired 10 years ago when he was in his prime. Styles doesn’t know what keeps him coming back, but he’s got a pretty good idea: his wife. It’s Michelle McCool. Styles says Michelle McCool and the Undertaker are married if people didn’t know. McCool plays Undertaker like a fiddle. Whatever she wants, she gets even if it means her husband has to walk to the ring and get hurt to get her what she wants. They have a beautiful family, but she’s the most conniving person he’s met in his life. The truth is the truth. Styles has some advice for the Undertaker. Styles is a good guy. Styles says Undertaker’s wife is going to run him into the ground, and Styles will help her.

https://twitter.com/WWE/status/1237192549992927233?s=20

Styles will make sure Undertaker dies in the ring at WrestleMania. Styles says he will take the Undertaker’s soul at WrestleMania. Styles will do exactly what his wife wants him to do. Styles challenges Undertaker to a one-on-one match at WrestleMania. What does Undertaker have to lose? He already lost his dignity, pride, and mystique. Undertaker is just a broken down old man. They can yell for Undertaker all they want. The people don’t give a damn about the Undertaker. Styles tells Undertaker to accept the fight so he can put the literal nail in his coffin.

Aleister Black will face Seth Rollins, next.

-Commercial Break-
