WrestleMania Sunday has arrived and we are all about pushing a ton of content your way as we get very close now to The Show of Shows.
We begin Episode 180 by recapping the events of the go-home edition of Raw, which saw the participants for the Raw Women’s Fatal Four Way Elimination Match at WrestleMania try and, sort of, co-exist in a Tag Team environment. Sami Zayn wanted to be in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Instead, he found himself in a win or be fired, no DQ match against Kevin Owens. Neville took on Jack Gallagher while Austin Aries battled Noam Dar as the two contenders for the Cruiserweight Championship moved ever closer to their showdown at WrestleMania. Seth Rollins signed the Hold Harmless Agreement for his unsanctioned match against Triple H at WrestleMania…but not before he and Triple H said a great deal to each other to really set things in perspective as far as that rivalry is concerned. The Undertaker had one final message for Roman Reigns and Goldberg and Brock Lesnar had one final face to face moment as the table, on the Raw side of the ledger, got set for WrestleMania 33.
We then move to Smackdown Live where AJ Styles and Shane McMahon signed the contract for their match at WrestleMania. A surprise return added a sixty woman to the Smackdown Women’s Title match at WrestleMania. The nastiness between John Cena, Nikki Bella, The Miz and Maryse reached its apex as the battle to determine the WWE’s true power couple raged on. In the Main Event, Luke Harper took on the WWE World Champion, Bray Wyatt. How did everything play out? Check out Episode 180 and find out.
From there we review NXT Takeover: Orlando. The official beginning to the in-ring action this weekend got going with NXT’s version of WrestleMania. Did SAnitY continue to dominate? Did Alestair Black have a successful debut? Who emerged from the Triple Threat Tag Team Championship match as the NXT Tag Champs? Did Ember Moon end Asuka’s undefeated streak? And did Shinsuke Nakamura redeem himself and capture the NXT Championship for a third time? We let you in on all the details here on Episode 180.
