Results by: Mike Tedesco of Wrestleview.com
“Then. Now. Forever. Together.” The WWE video leads us into the show.
We go live into the Amica Mutual Pavillion to see WWE Hall of Famer Edge making his way to the ring. Edge gets a great reaction from the Providence crowd.
Coming up tonight, Brock Lesnar and Omos will go Face to Face. Cody Rhodes will also battle LA Knight. Rey Mysterio, who will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame: Class of 2023 this year, will return to Raw. Finally, Kevin Owens and Solo Sikoa will battle in a Street Fight.
Edge stands in the ring, and the crowd gives him a great ovation. Edge says getting a reaction like this never gets old. This is why he still does this. Edge knows why he’s here. Providence also knows. Edge calls out Finn Bálor to the ring so they can finally be done with this.
The Judgment Day’s music hits, and they all appear on the stage. Finn Bálor stands alongside Dominik Mysterio, Damian Priest, and Rhea Ripley. Edge puts his head down in frustration. Bálor says he’s here live and in the flesh. They remain on the stage. Bálor says he finally agrees with all the clowns and wants to hear what he has to say. Edge says he’s not here to say anything. Edge is here to end this, but Bálor is just going to hide back there. If Edge comes over there, he’ll sick Pugsley and Wednesday on him.
A few weeks ago, Bálor challenged him to a match at WrestleMania. Since Bálor isn’t man enough to come in here and face him, if he wants his match at WrestleMania, then he’s got it. Bálor celebrates that he’s going to WrestleMania. If Edge thought the beating he got at Extreme Rules was bad… Edge tells him to shut his mouth. For the last year of his comeback, he’s wasted it with all of them. The year before that, he wrestled in front of a bunch of TV screens in the ThunderDome. Edge doesn’t have time for this. Edge needs to accomplish what he needs to do before he’s done. He’s running out of time. Bálor pulled the Judgment Day out from under his feet and made them better. Edge can admit that because he leaned into what they are: bitter, immature malcontents. They’re an emo-delight. It worked. Every other week, they have left him laying. They made Edge utter two words he never thought would fall out of his mouth: I Quit. Then they still bashed Beth’s skull in with a con-chair-to.
For the last year, they’ve tried to make his life a living hell. A lot of the time, they accomplished it. There is only one way that this can end. Edge says, “At WrestleMania, Edge versus Finn Bálor inside Hell in a Cell!” The crowd erupts! Bálor stares at him stone-faced. An “Edge” chant picks up. Bálor says he’s been to hell before and it spit him out. Hell couldn’t handle his Demons. Bálor says, “I’ll see you at WrestleMania.” Until then…
Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, and Dominik Mysterio make their way to the ring. They triple-team Edge and beat him down. The crowd boos. Dexter Lumis, Candice LeRae, and Johnny Gargano run down to make the save. Ripley easily handles LeRae.

Brock Lesnar’s music hits, and he comes out to a big reaction from the Providence crowd. Cowboy Brock circles the ring and is smiling. Lesnar gets in the ring and scares MVP back.

Rhodes says he keeps hearing these warnings from Mr. Heyman that he should stay out of Bloodline business. Rhodes does not work for the Bloodline or Mr. Heyman. If Rhodes wants to come out here and stand side by side with Sami Zayn, he can do that. If he wants to fight alongside Kevin Owens, he can do that. Rhodes has also heard Mr. Heyman warn not to make this personal. Rhodes says it has been personal since he appeared on this show at 21 years old in front of these same cameramen. It’s personal when week after week, he’s choked up with every sentence. It’s personal when you wear a protective coat of armor, which is a tailored suit. It’s not because he is somebody. It’s because he wants to be somebody. Mr. Heyman talks about acknowledging Roman Reigns. Rhodes acknowledges him. Reigns needs to acknowledge him.
Rhodes is not perfect, but he has been perfect since coming back to WWE. Rhodes states that he is undefeated. Rhodes grew up thinking that he was a prince in this industry, but he has no crown. On April 2 when the sun goes down on Hollywood, it’s going down on Roman Reigns’ generational run. On April 2, it’s not just those that have Rhodes and Runnels blood pumping through their veins. It’s everyone that has ever rooted him on. Rhodes has waited his whole life and will wait no longer. On April 2, he will pin Reigns in the middle of the ring and be the first Rhodes to ever say is the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion!

Dawkins says Cena is going to humble him at WrestleMania. Dawkins says the humbling doesn’t need to wait. He’ll cook him tonight.

-Commercial Break-
Paul Heyman storms up to Cathy Kelley and says the Bloodline has a problem: Kevin Owens. Tonight, the Bloodline demonstrates that they solve all problems. The Kevin Owens Problem will be solved by the Samoan Street Fighter named Solo. Cody Rhodes also has a problem. Rhodes thinks the truth shall set him free, but the truth will imprison his mind in thinking this will be personal to Roman Reigns. Of course, this is personal to Cody Rhodes. That’s what makes him such a compelling challenger for the main event of WrestleMania. To make this personal to Roman Reigns makes him a schmuck. If Rhodes wants to acknowledge Roman Reigns, then Heyman will give him a chance. Next week on Monday Night Raw, the Tribal Chief will be here on Raw. Cody Rhodes will acknowledge Roman Reigns.
