After the match, Theory attacks Jey from behind. Jey fires back. Theory clocks Jey from behind. Waller and Theory work over Jey. Jey dumps Waller over the top. Jey Spears Theory. Uso Splash by Jey. World Heavyweight Champion Gunther teleports into the ring and locks Jey in a Sleeper. Jey passes out.
Grade: C+
The match loses points for WWE having the nerve to flash a terrible comedian I won’t bother naming in the crowd before the match. It is hard to buy Waller as a credible challenger to the number one contender for the World Championship. Jey should have walked through Waller tonight. There was way too much back and forth, and with so many people questioning Jey’s skills, why not give him an easy win? Make Jey look strong, especially if Gunther was going to spawn into the ring out of nowhere and lay him out.
Everybody Hates Logan…
Logan Paul tries to speak, but the crowd drowns him out with boos, Dominik Mysterio style. Paul eventually gets out that he heard AJ Styles was going to call him out so he figured he would just come out here now. He doesn’t associate with people like AJ Styles. Paul’s name rings with names such as The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. The crowd boos as Paul says he doesn’t understand why Cody Rhodes turned down The Final Boss’ offer. Paul looks into the camera and tells The Rock that his soul is for sale.

Paul calls out that the comedian is in the crowd and tells them to give him a mic. The comedian says he’s here to see Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk, but no one is here to see Paul tonight. In fact, Andrew Schulz (only saying his name because he’s about to get beat up) is here to see a REAL wrestler like AJ Styles. Paul pulls Schulz over the barricade. Paul drags Schulz into the ring and sets up a suplex. Styles makes the save and nails Paul with a Phenomenal forearm. Styles yells for Paul to come back to the ring, but Paul walks away.

Grade: B
Paul is a heat magnet on the mic. The use of problematic comedian Andrew Schulz immediately made this writer want to change the channel, but business picked up once Paul went upside his head. This writer would pay good money to watch someone, ANYONE, beat up Andrew Schulz.
Tornado Tag Match: LWO (Dragon Lee & Rey Mysterio) vs. The New Day
As soon as the bell rings, Lee and Mysterio attack Woods and Kingston. After a pair of corner ten punches, Lee and Mysterio land stereo bulldogs. The fight spills out of the ring as Mysterio slams Woods’ head into the commentary desk and the ring post. Lee and Mysterio try to pull a table from under the ring, but Woods and Kingston cut them off and slide the table back under the ring.

Lee sends Woods flying off the apron through a table with a rana. Mysterio and Kingston trade pin attempts. Lee lands a dive. Someone in an American flag lucha mask hops the barricade and attacks Lee. The masked man deadlifts German suplexes Mysterio out on the floor. Security pulls our masked man, who is obviously Chad Gable, over the barricade. Kingston and Woods hit their finish on Mysterio for the win.
Winners- The New Day

Grade: B
This match was chaos. Bodies were flying all over the place as Mysterio and Lee pulled out all the stops tonight. After a brilliant heel turn, Woods and Kingston haven’t had much to do. Is this heading towards some sort of multi-person match at WrestleMania? Seems like a waste of a quality heel turn. Seeing Chag Gable debut his new lucha mask was fun. Gable looks like a pocket-sized Patriot.
The real championship is the friends he made along the way! ❤️#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/8hM4eFUaWA

So, What do you Want to Talk About?
WWE Champion Cody Rhodes walks to the ring with a sullen look on his face. The champion asks the crowd what they want to talk about. Rhodes says he’s here because Madison Square Garden is the home base of professional wrestling. Rhodes notes that his opponent, John Cena, isn’t here tonight. The crowd boos.

Rhodes notes that Cena will be in Belgium next week. Rhodes dumps on Cena for skipping the MSG show and attacking him at Elimination Chamber. The crowd cheers while Rhodes calls Cena a moron. Rhodes says number 17 isn’t happening, and Cena is going to find out that he’s the captain now.
Grade: C+
This wasn’t a bad promo, but it was the same promo Rhodes cut on SmackDown. It’s obvious that WWE was just finding a reason for Rhodes to appear on the show, but this promo didn’t add anything to this show or further the feud.
Women’s Intercontinental Championship Number One Contender’s Match: Bayley vs. Raquel Rodriguez w/Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio
Rodriguez controls much of the match. Bayley manages to send Rodriguez into the post. Dominik distracts the referee while Morgan pulls Bayley’s leg. Bayley knocks Morgan and Dominik off the apron. Rodriguez counters Bayley’s dive into a belly-to-belly on the commentary desk. Bayley breaks the count but eats a boot. Rodriguez hits her finish for the win.
Winner- Raquel Rodriguez
Grade: C+
Ok TV Match. Nothing groundbreaking here. Rodriguez is a boring challenger for any title, so for the first time in history, this writer will be pulling for Lyra Valkyria. Who are you pulling for in this future title match? Let us know in the comments!
Women’s World Champion IYO SKY
IYO SKY joins Michael Cole in the ring. Cole congratulates SKY on her victory last week over Rhea Ripley. SKY says it’s a dream to be in Madison Square Garden as a champion. She’s over the moon to be going to WrestleMania. Cole notes that SKY will have a tough challenge and introduces SKY’s WrestleMania opponent, Bianca Belair. Belair joins the champion and Cole in the ring. Belair congratulates SKY and says she’s excited for them to be headed to WrestleMania. Cole asks Belair if she thinks Rhea Ripley may have won last week if Belair hadn’t been at ring side last week.
Belair notes that Ripley put her hands on her, and she had to react. Ripley interrupts and claims that Belair cost her the match against SKY on purpose. Ripley quips that Belair should have been focusing on Naomi and Jade Cargill instead. Belair says Ripley is just mad that she can’t beat SKY. Ripley and Belair get in each other’s faces. SKY steps up. Ripley mushes her in the face. SKY goes down. SKY pops up to her feet. Belair mushes SKY. SKY slaps Ripley, then slaps Belair. SKY storms off.
Grade: B
Good segment. We are clearly headed towards a triple threat, with SKY having something to prove as an overlooked champion.

Grade: A
Hell of a match. Rollins and Punk had zero interest in pinning each other or escaping the cage for the first 15 minutes of this match. All they wanted to do was murder each other in the cage tonight. The suplex off the top of the cage was gnarly. One thing that took away from this amazing contest was the overreliance on kicking out of finishes.
Not sure why that was the move here. Reigns’ return was well done. Not only does Punk now have beef with Reigns for costing him this cage match Reigns also attacked him in a jealous rage. The road to WrestleMania is in full effect. Rollins vs. Punk vs. Reigns will be the most anticipated triple-threat match in WWE history.
