In-Ring Segment: Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens

Chris Jericho’s music hits, and the WWE United States Champion makes his way to the ring for his first appearance on RAW since being attacked during the “Festival of Friendship.” The crowd is going crazy for him and chanting “Y2J.” Jericho says this is the birthplace of Y2J. Even more so, tonight is the sight of the resurrection of Chris Jericho. The reason for that is last night at Fastlane, he screwed Kevin Owens out of the Universal Championship. Jericho congratulates Goldberg. Owens had it coming for betraying him at the “Festival of Friendship.” Owens ripped his heart out and stabbed his knife into the Back of Jericho – twist it in, man. Jericho is hurt and confused. Jericho wants to know why Owens did that. Jericho calls him out to hear the answer to the question of “why”.

Kevin Owens’ music this, and the former WWE Universal Champion makes his way to the stage dressed in his ring gear. The crowd cheered for his music, but it quickly turned into boos. Owens says after what Jericho did to him last night, he’s not giving him the answer. Jericho shouts at him to be quiet. Jericho says, “Answer the question, you son of a –” Jericho stops him and asks why a guy he trusted for eight months betrayed him. Why did Owens stab him in the back? He’s been in the hospital for three weeks. Owens has an answer for him. The reason he stabbed his best friend in the back is because he didn’t stab his best friend in the back: Jericho was never his best friend.” Jericho looks sad. Owens says his one-time best friend Sami Zayn was stabbed in the back. Owens would do it again and again. Jericho on the other hand was a tool that he used. The night he became Universal Champion, Triple H told him everyone is coming for him. Owens decided to get someone to watch his back. Owens needed that person to know what they were doing. That person needed to have experience, but also be gullible. If it makes Jericho feel any better, he was a perfect tool until he outlived his usefulness. That happened the second Jericho accepted the match against Goldberg on his behalf. Jericho went from a tool to a burden. That’s why he turned on him. Owens asks if he’s happy. Jericho doesn’t look happy.

The crowd starts chanting, “Goldberg.” Owens says he would have beaten Goldberg last night if not for Jericho. Owens admits that Jericho outsmarted him last night. Owens spared him at the “Festival of Friendship.” Owens let him walk away for his family because he is a good person, but he could have ended him. Letting Jericho walk away was the biggest mistake of his career that he won’t make again. The biggest mistake of Jericho’s career was costing him the title at Fastlane.

Jericho says the biggest mistake of his career was trusting Owens. Years ago, Jericho would have done the same exact thing. Jericho would have done it better. Jericho was complacent and liked the idea of having a best friend. Owens isn’t his best friend, and he doesn’t need him. Jericho has a lot of friends here tonight – thousands of them. Jericho says, “I have The Friends of Jericho – cheer me on, man!” The crowd loudly chants, “Y2J.” Jericho says if this is how it’s going to be, that’s fine. Costing him the Universal Championship wasn’t the end. It’s just the beginning. Jericho says what started at Fastlane was the beginning of a long and winding road that leads to Kevin Owens versus Chris Jericho at WrestleMania! Jericho points at the sign while the crowd chants, “YES!” Owens says he doesn’t give a damn what the crowd likes. After last night, Jericho might think that all he wants is to get the Universal Title back. He was promised a rematch whenever he wants one. Ever since Jericho took his title away from him, all he can think about is taking Jericho’s title away from him. Owens says if Jericho wants him at WrestleMania, he has to put the United States Title on the line. Jericho says, “Mmm ok, done.” Jericho agrees to the match for the WWE United States Championship at WrestleMania.

As for tonight, why wait until WrestleMania? They should get it on now. Jericho asks him what’s stopping him. Owens charges down to the ring, and they brawl to a big reception.

Zayn hits Owens and Joe in the midsection with the chair before smacking it off the back of Joe. Owens attacks Zayn, and they double-team him. Jericho then hits Owens and Joe with the chair. Jericho appears to give Owens a chairshot to the head. Jericho and Zayn stand tall in the ring.

Aries thanks Chicago and asks his question again. Neville says he’s done exactly what he said he would do. To everyone that has doubted and overlooked him, they can look at him now. Neville holds up the title. Neville says he’s laid waste to pretender after pretender. It’s undeniable that there is nobody on 205 Live that holds a candle to the King of the Cruiserweights. Aries says Neville has done each and everything he would do, but he wants to clarify if he really can’t think of anyone that’s competition. Neville says nobody is at his level. The crowd again loudly chants, “Austin Aries.” Aries says the WWE Universe disagrees with him. A loud “YES” chant fires up. Neville sizes up Aries and asks if he’s seriously suggesting himself. Neville says he must be delusional if he thinks he’s close to his level. Neville says he’s running out of patience with Aries so he can make his way back to the commentary table to make cheap jokes. This is his ring, so he can get out before he re-injures his orbital socket.

Aries removes his sunglasses and says he’s just trying to do his job. Aries’ eye still looks a bit swollen. Neville asks what he’s going to do about it. Aries just wants to ask one more question. It’s not so much of a question. It’s more of a statement. Aries hits Neville in the face with the microphone and removes his jacket! Aries then wipes him out with a spinning forearm, and Neville quickly retreats.

Backstage: Enzo and Cass, Cesaro and Sheamus

Backstage, Enzo and Cass are talking about their rematch. They then bump into Cesaro and Sheamus. Enzo calls them a “cuppa haters.” Cesaro says he’s drinking a cup of coffee.

In-Ring Segment: Goldberg, Paul Heyman, Brock Lesnar

Goldberg’s music hits, and the WWE Universal Champion makes his way through the backstage area.

Goldberg fist bumps some children as he makes his way to the ring to a great reception. After his music stops, the boos fire up. Goldberg holds the title up and gets a mixed reception. Goldberg says this title belongs to the people. This still gets a mixed reception. Goldberg says he could not have done it without the people. The truth is tonight he stands before them as a very humbled man because he is WWE’s new Universal Champion. The crowd continues to boo him. Another thing this gives him is an opportunity to divulge some information he’s never made public. A loud “CM Punk” chant fires up. Goldberg says he hears them.

Paul Heyman comes out to a nice reception. Heyman says, “Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman, and please don’t confuse me as someone who even thinks he’s man enough to go down to that ring and even attempt to offer a handshake in congratulations to the new Universal Championship because, honestly, my hand is not the hand that should be shaking Mr. Goldberg’s in congratulation.” Heyman says he didn’t come here tonight alone!

Heyman gets in the ring as well. Heyman says his client is here to shake his hand and congratulate him on becoming the new Universal Champion. His client understands how happy he must be about devastating Kevin Owens for the title last night. The only person happier about Goldberg being Universal Champion is his client. On April 2nd at WrestleMania, his client understands that Goldberg has proven to be every bit of a beast as Lesnar has proven to be. That’s why Lesnar will shake his hand and congratulate him. Goldberg has proven to be every bit the conquerer Lesnar has proven to be. On April 2nd, both will enter the ring, but only one will leave the ring the winner.

In-Ring Segment: Mick Foley, Bayley, Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair, Stephanie McMahon

Mick Foley is in the ring to start this segment. The crowd is loudly chanting, “Foley.” He welcomes Bayley to the ring. Bayley comes out to a great reception. Still photos are shown of Sasha Banks helping her beat Charlotte Flair last night. Bayley says she wishes she could call herself a champion tonight. Last night, she asked Charlotte Flair to leave Dana Brooke in the locker room, and she did. Then Sasha Banks came down to help her. Bayley says she’s trying to wrap her mind around what happened. She needs to move forward and keep moving to WrestleMania. Growing up, her year didn’t start in January. It always started and ended with WrestleMania. Last year, she stood in the background when Lita introduced the new WWE Women’s Championship. She watched women she’s close with compete for it. She promised herself she would be at the next WrestleMania in the ring. It just doesn’t feel like it should. It doesn’t feel right. Foley says he knows how she’s feeling. At this time of the year, it doesn’t matter how you got there. It only matters where you’re going. She’s going to WrestleMania. The question is now who will her opponent be at WrestleMania.

Sasha Banks’ music hits, and she makes her way to the ring. Banks says that’s a great question. She has the answer. Banks says they know Charlotte very well. Even though Charlotte sent Dana to the locker room, it doesn’t mean she was going to stay there. Let’s talk about WrestleMania. Since they became friends, they always talked about tearing down the house on the grandest stage of them all. Instead of talking about it, how about they make it happen? They can fight at WrestleMania for the RAW Women’s Championship. Foley says that sounds like a good match, but he wants a second opinion from the people right here in Chicago, Illinois. They start a “YES” chant.

Charlotte Flair’s music hits, and she comes down to the ring with Dana Brooke. Flair sarcastically says the plan is crystal clear. Banks knew she wouldn’t get another title opportunity to face her. That was the deal. Whoever lost at Road Block: End of the Line wasn’t going to get a second chance. Banks didn’t think Bayley was good enough to beat her. Banks used her and pretended to be Bayley’s friend. It worked. She’s the victim in this conspiracy. Flair says she was robbed of her title and PPV streak. Flair says Foley doesn’t care as long as his two favorite daughters are going to WrestleMania. Foley says he does care, but she lost her rematch. Flair says she was robbed.

Stephanie McMahon’s music hits, and she makes her way to the ring looking none too pleased. McMahon says Mick Foley is not the boss, and neither is Sasha Banks for that matter. She is. A loud “CM Punk” chant fires up. McMahon says they’re predictable and just like CM Punk: losers. They always cheer for the wrong person, just like Sasha Banks. Banks is the most manipulative person in the locker room. She cozied up to Bayley to get a shot at the Women’s Title. She expects the crowd to be hypocritical, but she demands more from Foley. There is no denying that Bayley wouldn’t be the Women’s Champion had it not been for Banks. The woman who deserves the match is Charlotte Flair. Foley says he thinks she’d agree – but she cuts him off. McMahon makes the match official: Bayley will defend the RAW Women’s Championship against Charlotte Flair. Foley says she can’t leave “the boss” out in the cold. McMahon asks who the boss is. Foley says McMahon is his boss, but Banks is THE boss. Foley says Charlotte should face Sasha next week with the winner facing Bayley at WrestleMania. McMahon agrees, but wants to make it even better. If Banks wins, the match at WrestleMania will be a triple threat, which means Bayley doesn’t have to get pinned to lose the title. We’ll find out exactly who Sasha Banks is as she goes one-on-one against Bayley, next.

Video Package: Seth Rollins’ Injury Rehab

Seth Rollins’ injury with footage of him rehabbing his first knee injury is played.

Interview: Triple H

Michael Cole interviews Triple H via satellite. Cole asks for Triple H’s reaction to that video package and Rollins’ promise to be at WrestleMania. Triple H says they have to take their hat off to WWE. The world class care they provide to their athletes is second to none. WWE spares no expense when it comes to their talent. We have to hope that someone like Seth Rollins listens to the experts and utilizes that advice. Last week when Seth Rollins said he would be at WrestleMania no matter what, he took it as ignorance. When the best doctors tell you that you shouldn’t be there and you show up, that’s stupidity. Rollins lies to himself and tells people he’s “the man,” which is a lie. Triple H has been called a lot of things in his career like “The Game” or “The Cerebral Assassin,” but other people called him that. He didn’t have to call himself “the man” because it was obvious. Rollins has to call himself that because it’s a lie. Rollins thinks the lie can become the truth at WrestleMania. WrestleMania is where dreams come true, and Rollins wants his dream to become true. If Rollins shows up to WrestleMania against doctor’s orders, it’ll be his nightmare. If Rollins calls him out at WrestleMania, it’ll be the last thing he ever does in a WWE ring.
