In-Ring: Randy Orton, Kevin Owens

Randy Orton makes his way to the ring to boos from the crowd. Orton takes his time before saying he needs to apologize. He’s definitely not the most sentimental of men, but his emotions have become unbalanced as of late. The crowd boos him. This morning when he arrived to the venue, it had been 15 years since Monday Night Raw had been in Winnipeg. The crowd cheers the return of Raw. Orton says he would’ve been 24 years old. Thanks to the internet, he did some research. On that Raw 15 years ago, he was the Intercontinental Champion and was punched in the face by a certain man (a Y2J chant picks up)… a man who would eventually save him from his self-destructive tendencies. This is a man he would eventually look up to and love like a brother. His name was Adam, but everyone knows him as Edge.

The crowd chants, “We want Edge.” Orton says he won’t be here because of what he did to him almost a month ago. Orton doesn’t expect the people to understand why he did what he did to Edge. What he did is something he’s very sorry for. Orton is truly sorry from the bottom of his heart. The crowd doesn’t believe him.

Kevin Owens’ music hits, and he gets a big reaction from the crowd. The crowd chants Owens’ name. Owens says he has to pause while they chant his name. For the past few months, Owens has been dealing with delusional people like AOP, their little buddy Murphy, and the “Monday Night Moron” Seth Rollins. Owens is putting those issues aside for tonight because he has an issue with Orton. Dealing with delusional people is a specialty of his. Owens heard Orton apologize for what he did to Edge. Owens says he doesn’t think Orton means it. Owens tells him to drop the act and explain himself. Matt Hardy asked to answers and caught a vicious beating. Now Owens is out here to ask.

Orton says Owens doesn’t want to go down that road. Owens says he really does want to go down that road. Owens says he’s been a WWE fan his entire life. He remembers watching Edge retire. Owens was already on the independent circuit, but he wanted to get to WWE eventually. Watching Edge retire sucked for Edge and him because he dreamed about facing him. Owens was thrilled to see Edge’s face at his comeback in the Royal Rumble. The next night Edge took it all away. Owens asks why Orton did it. Orton says everyone thinks they know him. Owens says he doesn’t know Orton. All he knows is the people are sick of watching them talk. What they want to see is the two of them fight. Owens throws down the microphone. Orton agrees to the fight… but not right this minute. Orton immediately leaves the ring to boos.

Charly Caruso is backstage with Angel Garza and Zelina Vega. Last week they called themselves the hottest couple of people on Raw and are strictly business partners. What do they have for Humberto Carrillo? Vega says they’re taking out the trash. Family is very important. There’s family you’re proud of and family you’d like to deny. Charly thanks hands with them. Garza says with Charly business is always pleasure.

Angel Garza vs. Humberto Carrillo

The bell rings, and Garza takes Carrillo down before striking him a few times. They tie each other up and wind up doing a conjoined handstand. Wow. Carrillo fights up and hits a headlock takeover.

Back from the break, Garza hits the ropes only for Carrillo to hit a standing Spanish Fly for a near fall! Carrillo goes to the top rope, but Garza uppercuts him. Garza hits Carrillo with an avalanche Spanish Fly for a near fall!

Carrillo takes him down for a two count. They start trading quick pins before Carrillo goes for a victory roll. Garza sits on the shoulders and pulls the tights for the win!

Winner by Pinfall: Angel Garza

Ricochet vs. Luke Gallows

The bell rings, and Gallows kicks him down. Ricochet quickly avoids two clotheslines and dropkicks Gallows out of the ring. Ricochet quickly follows up with a somersault senton. Ricochet gets Gallows in the ring for a springboard move, but Gallows big boots him out of mid-air. Gallows drops an elbow and punches away at Ricochet. Paul Heyman, the advocate of Brock Lesnar, is shown watching intently backstage. Gallows connects with a backbreaker for a near fall.

Winner by Pinfall: Ricochet

Backstage: The O.C., Aleister Black

AJ Styles is walking backstage looking irritated as Gallows and Anderson are arguing. Styles tells them to act like they’re the greatest tag team in the world. Styles says a miracle could happen. They need to plant their flag at the top of the food chain ahead of WrestleMania. They bump into Aleister Black. Styles says they might need to remind Black who they are. They’re The O.C., the official, the original, the only club that matters. They attack Black and slam him into the wall before triple-teaming him. They walk off, and Black pulls himself up looking woozy.

In-Ring: Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman

WWE Champion Brock Lesnar makes his way to the ring alongside his advocate Paul Heyman. The crowd gives Lesnar a big reception. Lesnar stands in the ring and looks around at the Winnipeg crowd. Heyman says, “Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman, and I am the advocate for YOUR reigning, defending, undisputed WWE Heavyweight Champion of the world, Brock Lesnar!” The crowd is loving this.

For years, people have tried to brand themselves as WWE Superstars and celebrities, but Brock Lesnar doesn’t need a catchphrase. The catchphrase is the fact that since 2002, every single time he wants to he can reign as champion. Donning the tights and lacing the boots to take someone to Suplex City isn’t something that happens every night. It is special. This Thursday, when Brock Lesnar lays waste to Ricochet, the master of the uppercut… imagine the beating Ricochet will get because Brock Lesnar feels he owes him one. When Lesnar steps in the ring at Super ShowDown, by the fact that Lesnar is wrestling it is special. This Thursday is a lot more special because the stakes have never been higher for a Brock Lesnar match. Why? It’s a good question for Canadians. Heyman says, “Thou shalt not boo thy advocate!” If Ricochet pulls off the miracle of miracles and emerges victorious over Lesnar and becomes the WWE Champion to main event WrestleMania against Drew McIntyre, that means the consequences are groundbreaking. If his aunt had balls, she’d be his uncle. She doesn’t, so she’s not. “If” can go out the window because Lesnar is taking out Ricochet to go to WrestleMania.

Heyman has only been wrong on one spoiler in seven years. This is not a prediction. It’s a spoiler. Lesnar is taking McIntyre to Suplex City and defeating him once and for all. They’ll all realize then, now, and forever their reigning, defending, undisputed WWE Heavyweight Champion of the world, Brock Lesnar. Lesnar holds up the WWE Championship, and they leave the ring. Lesnar walks over to the commentary table, and the commentators scatter. Lesnar stands on the table and poses with the belt.

Erick Rowan vs. Aleister Black

Aleister Black is really in a lot of pain following the attack by The O.C. Black punches Rowan a few times before Rowan pushes him back and hits a clothesline. Rowan connects with a scoop slam before stomping him. Rowan hits a running boot to the face and taunts the crowd. Black slides out of a slam and pulls the top rope down to get Rowan out of the ring. Rowan gets on the apron, but Black kicks him to the floor. Black goes to the apron, but Rowan sweeps the feet before sending him into the timekeeper’s area.

We come back from the break to see Rowan knock Black to the apron. Black punches and kicks Rowan back before getting in the ring. Black kicks Rowan in the face.

Rowan dumps him out of the ring and drives him into the barricade twice. Black quickly comes back by sending Rowan into the ring steps where his cage is. Rowan flips out when he sees the cage down. Rowan viciously attacks Black and powerbombs him into the ring post! Rowan gets in the ring before being counted out, and Black catches him with Black Mass! Black follows up with a second Black Mass for the win!

Sara Schreiber interviews Aleister Black and asks how he overcame the odds. Black says he used his rage to push ahead. Black challenges AJ Styles to a match next week on Raw.

Interview: Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre has a sit down interview with Charly Caruso. McIntyre talks about coming into WWE in 2009 and being anointed by Vince McMahon as a future World Champion. How many World Titles has he won since then? Zero. McIntyre says he got lost in his head and was really down when he was in 3MB. When he was released, that created a huge chip on his shoulder. That really pissed him off.

McIntyre made his return at NXT and wanted to show what he could do. Now two years on the main roster after watching Brock Lesnar run through all competitors in the Royal Rumble, McIntyre’s singular focus was eliminating Lesnar and winning the match. Now at WrestleMania his potential will be realized.

R-Truth vs. Bobby Lashley

R-Truth is in the ring for Truth TV. The commentators talk about the Tuwaiq Mountain Trophy. WWE United States Champion Andrade, AJ Styles, Bobby Lashley, R-Truth, Erick Rowan, and Aleister Black will take part in the Gauntlet Match.

R-Truth says he has so many questions to ask them. Lana says they’re not here for their stupid talk show. R-Truth has a scheduled match with her Bobby. A “Rusev Day” chant picks up. Lana says Rusev Day is canceled. R-Truth says Lashley is really, really big. R-Truth would rather ask questions than have a match with him. R-Truth asks if they’ve seen Sonic the Hedgehog. Lana shouts to ring the bell.

The bell rings. R-Truth asks to take off his entrance gear. Lashley viciously blindsides R-Truth before whipping him hard into the corner. Lashley hits a reverse STO.
