In-Ring: Drew McIntyre, Andrade, Zelina Vega

WWE Champion Drew McIntyre makes his entrance. McIntyre looks into the camera and thanks the fans for the privilege of being invited into their living rooms. McIntyre thanks everyone for the outpouring of support for his title win. The internet can be pretty negative, but he’s received all positive feedback. It’s been his dream to be champion. It’s surreal that he beat Brock Lesnar for the title. It’s also surreal that 20 minutes, this happened.

Video Package: Drew McIntyre defeats Big Show to retain the WWE Championship 20 minutes after the conclusion of WrestleMania 36

McIntyre says he beat Brock Lesnar and Big Show back-to-back. He hopes that sets the tone for his title reign going forward. He’s a champion that will show up and defend. If a WWE Superstar deserves an opportunity at the title, they’ll get an opportunity at the title. McIntyre can’t articulate just how much the title means to him…

United States Champion Andrade makes his way to the stage with Zelina Vega. Vega says she wants to introduce McIntyre to the real champion of Raw, the United States Champion Andrade. McIntyre says, “…and the crowd goes mild.” McIntyre knows who Andrade is. Vega sarcastically apologizes for interrupting his speech and mocks his accent. They just want to congratulate McIntyre in person. Who else can say they had two WrestleMania moments in one night? While McIntyre was having those two moments, her associate had an injury that robbed him of his. Coming off the biggest night in McIntyre’s career, it would be a shame if someone injured McIntyre and took the title.

McIntyre says he remembers what happened the last time they fought. McIntyre went in as NXT Champion and he left with his bicep torn and six months of his career gone. Andrade left as the NXT Champion. If Andrade wants this match, champion vs. champion, he’s got it tonight. Andrade says the last time he took his title and took him out. Tonight, no more Señor Nice Guy.

In-Ring: Becky Lynch

Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch makes her entrance to the ring. It’s only been a few weeks since she stood her last. She knew she had only a short time to beat Shayna Baszler, but she did it. Lynch wants to clear up some of the confusion. She told Baszler that this would be a test of heart vs. skill, but it was actually a battle of the mind. A lot has been said about The Man. Maybe she’s arrogant and let the title run get to her head or maybe she used it to get to Baszler. The only person that can get close enough to the queen to destroy her is the joker she sees as posing no threat. That’s why she’s the threat. Someone who was born to bully will never beat someone who is designed to survive.

That brings her to the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. She’s here to challenge whoever wants this title the most to climb the ladder, unhook the briefcase, and think of a time and place. There you will find The Man, the champ, waiting for them. She always has a plan, but she promises that whoever wins and thinks they can beat her, she’ll shock the world one more time.

In-Ring: Charlotte Flair

NXT Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair makes her way to the ring. Flair says it’s time for a history lesson. She won the 2020 Royal Rumble and could choose any champion to face. There’s Becky Lynch. Been there, done that. There’s Bayley. Been there, done that more. You didn’t see Becky Lynch or Bayley make a challenge. You saw the next big thing Rhea Ripley make the challenge. She got The Queen’s attention. It was ballsy. That was then, this is now. Flair is a two-time NXT Women’s Champion not because she beat Becky Lynch or Bayley for the millionth time. She beat the next big thing, meaning Charlotte Flair is the biggest thing. Last year, Vince McMahon tasked her with saving the WrestleMania main event. This year, Ripley challenges her because she wants to be Flair. Ripley lacks humility.

There’s always someone faster, stronger, and better. Flair is going to remind NXT about humility. Next up is Io Shirai. Flair is here to teach lessons. Everyone bows down to The Queen.
