April Week 1
Los Angeles,CA
The show kicks off with Triple H in the ring introducing the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins in the ring with him.
Seth:Thank you Triple H for the introduction. Last night at Wrestlemania I did something that has never been done before! I cashed in my Money in The Bank contract and became the WWE World Heavyweight Champion! This is the start of a new era, where I am the man!
Randy Orton's music hits and he comes down to the ring....
Randy: Sorry to interrupt this little uh celebration here Seth but if I recall last night I beat you with an RKO you never saw coming! (Footage plays of the RKO) Because of that I think that makes me the first to challenge for the title.
Roman Reigns comes from the crowd and calls what Seth did cowardly and now he wants to make Seth pay. Then Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman show up at the ramp. Paul says Brock is not a happy man and as former champion he should be first in line for a title shot....tonight! Triple H shuts all of it down though and declares that a Triple Threat match between the three will take place to determine the number one contender.
Match 1: Seth Rollins vs. Damien Mizdow
The new champion makes a good showing in his first match of the title reign. Mizdow gets in a little bit of offense but that's all for not though as Seth pins Mizdow after planting his face in the mat with a curb stomp.
Winner by pinfall: Seth Rollins
Match 2 Elimination Tag: New Day (Kofi & Xavier) vs. Prime Time Players
These two teams are looking to make a name for themselves as contenders for the Tag Titles held by Cesaro and Tyson Kidd. Titus goes to work on both Xavier and Kofi to start the match then tags in Darren. Xavier then turns the tide and does damage to Darren and tags in Kofi. This was a real back and forth contest. Darren lays into Xavier with the prime time elbow and leg drop but only gets a two count. PTP was looking to eliminate Xavier but the count was broken up at 2 by Kofi. Eventually PTP was able to prevail over New Day.
Winner by pinfall: Prime Time Players
The scene then cuts to Renee Young with Roman Reigns
Renee: Roman tonight you have a chance to become the number one contender for Seth's WWE Championship. You will have to go through both Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton to do that though. What's your plan for the match?
Roman: Well Renee look you saw the match me and Brock had last night. It was a fight, and you can bet I've got more in the tank tonight for both Brock and Randy. My plan is to go out there and kick their asses. Plain and simple.
Match 3: Big Show vs. Ryback
In a match of two big guys that was a power display by both men Ryback came out on top after picking up Big Show and planting him with a Shellshock.
Winner by pinfall: Ryback
Match 4: Dean Ambrose vs. Goldust
The Lunatic Fringe is coming off a loss opportunity to capture the Intercontinental Championship in a ladder match at Wrestlemania last night. Tonight he's looking to bounce back and pick up a win against a tough opponent in Goldust. Before the match starts however Bray Wyatt comes from behind and attacks Ambrose, the beatdown by Bray allows Goldust to pick up the win after hitting the Curtain Call.
Bray just stands on the ramp and laughs at his handiwork.
Winner by pinfall : Goldust
Daniel Bryan comes to the ring to a loud ovation of YES chants from the fans. He talks about how he proud he is to be Intercontinental Champion and how he will bring relevancy back to the belt. Just then Dolph Ziggler's music hits.
Dolph: Daniel you and me and everyone else involved in that ladder match put on a show last night. However, if there is anyone here who can compete with you one on one it's me. Let us give these fans what they really want to see....a title match between the two of us!! Bryan is about to say yes to that but then Triple H appears on the titantron and shuts down the idea. He does inform the men that they will have their title match but that's later on. Tonight just a non-title match is in order.
Match 5: Daniel Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler
The match starts with a bit of chain wrestling with Bryan coming out on top in the exchange. The match then went into typical fashion with guys of this caliber. Both wowing the crowd with their array of offense, reversals, and near falls. Bryan hit Ziggler with repeated kicks to the chest and one to the head but Ziggler kicked out at 2. Ziggler quickly returned fire with a superkick and then planted Daniel with a Zig Zag which to Dolph's disbelief, Bryan kicked out of at 2! Dolph then went up to the top rope for a cross body but Bryan caught him and locked in the YES Lock but Dolph fought to the ropes to break the hold. The end came when Bryan clocked Ziggler with the running knee and picked up the pinfall victory in an amazing match!!
Winner by pinfall: Daniel Bryan
We come back from commercial to see John Cena making his way to the ring.
Cena: Los Angeles! The champ is here!!! Tonight you all will witness greatness when me and my opponent step in this very ring and give you all another great match! So who's it going to be....YOU WANT SOME? COME. GET. SOME!
Match 6: Bad News Barrett vs. John Cena
This match starts off frantic and with a brawl as both men battled back and forth. At one point the ref gets knocked down and is out for a little bit. At this point Rusev appears and pulls Cena from the ring. He throws Cena into the stairs as Barrett watches it all. Rusev continues to kick and stomp on Cena but he notices the ref start to get up and scatters before the ref fully comes to, but not before throwing Cena back into the ring. Barrett then plants Cena with the Winds of Change but Cena kicks out at 2. Cena manages to get back into the match using his vintage shoulder tackle, sideslam combo. Barrett ends up kicking out of Cena's AA at 2. Cena eventually ends the match but it took 3 AA's to put Barrett away. At the end of the match Rusev shows himself again, this time on the ramp as he makes a title motion around his waist.
Main Event #1 Contenders Match: Randy Orton vs. Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar
This match is just as exciting as imagined. All 3 guys really gave it their all. Orton started the match on fire taking out both Brock and Roman but the other two men gave Randy payback beating him down outside the ring by the announce table. Roman took his beating as well from both Brock and Randy, Randy working Roman's head with wrenches and Brock giving suplexes. The match finally returns to the ring and Roman tries to catch Randy napping with a Superman Punch but Randy knocks Roman down quickly with a powerslam. Brock then plants Orton with 3 big German Suplexes. He then goes to F5 Reigns but Roman counters with an elbow to Lesnar's head! Randy clotheslines Roman and then plants Brock with an RKO but Brock kicks out at a close 2! No one wants to lose as all three men continue to save themselves by breaking up the others' pin attempts. The end came when Brock hit an F5 on Randy but turned around into a Spear by Roman!!! Roman pins Brock for the 3 count!!!
Winner and #1 Contender: Roman Reigns
