The Revival to retain the NXT Tag Team ChampionshipsIn a terrific opener for NXT Takeover San Antonio, Grand Amplitude to Scott Dawson ended this one.Chad Gable and Jason Jordan celebrating a successful title defense until they're attacked by two massive men. They're wearing tank tops with the writing "Despair" on them. These two attack American Alpha and lay both Gable and Jordan out to make a huge statement, as Despair has arrived. Despair has arrived to NXT! The commentators explain the rules for the next match, A Dozen's Opportunity Match. 12 NXT wrestlers will compete in an over-the-top rope battle royal for a spot in tomorrow's Royal Rumble Match for the main roster. A Dozen's Opportunity Matchfeat: Abyss, Angelo Dawkins, Elias Samson, Fandango, John Kay, Kassius Ohno, Mojo Rawley, Noam Dar, Sawyer Fulton, Shane Hollister, Solomon Crowe, Steve Marx

Abyss wins, last eliminating Solomon Crowe We see a video package of The Tolutasi and ever since their debut at the previous NXT Takeover last November, and we see all the chaos they've caused. We then see the first time Bubba Stone went to Full Sail, to confront The Tolutasi and align himself with Baron Corbin and Zack Sabre Jr. to take out their common enemy. The Tolutasi def. Baron Corbin, Bubba Stone, and Zack Sabre Jr.Bubba Stone was impressive in his in-ring debut but The Tolutasi's Codebreaker Tower on Baron Corbin got the job done.The next video package shows Alexa Bliss and Tessa Blanchard's troubles and then Asuka's dominance as champion. Before this contest starts, Tessa Blanchard heads over to join Corey Graves and Byron Saxton on commentary. Asuka(c) def. Alexa Bliss to retain the NXT Women's ChampionshipAlexa showed a lot of grit but succumbed to the Asuka Lock.Tessa Blanchard stood up on the commentary table to grab Asuka's attention and signaled a title around her waist, making it clear she wants to be the next NXT Women's Championship. After this confrontation, we open a video package of the long storied history between Adam Cole and Michael Bennett, from their days teaming together in the independents to now in NXT where Adam Cole cost Bennett the chance to become NXT Champion. After the package, it's confirmed that there must be a winner in this match, so it'll be No Disqualification. The winner of this match will challenge the NXT Champion next month. Adam Cole def. Michael Bennett in a No Disqualification MatchCole hit Panama Sunrise down on the steel chair to become the new #1 contender.Adam Cole exited the ring all smiles but Michael Bennett was tended to by the doctors and medical professionals in the ring and got help out. After spending a few moments looking at the scene left by the two, as if they were in ECW, we then see the video package for the main event. Apollo Crews(c) def. Tashard Wiggins to retain the NXT ChampionshipCrews and Wiggins had an incredibly athletic contest but it was a Triple Powerbomb by Crews followed by an Electric Chair to retain his title.The scene from tonight's NXT Takeover San Antonio ends with Apollo Crews raising the NXT Championship high after an incredible match with Tashard Wiggins tonight. Crews celebrating is how we fade into the night.

Aside from not picking a Battle Royal winner, I got all of NXT Takeover right! Woot! Sick show. Love how you're putting your own spin on the AOP. I'll be honest, I was split between Akam and Rezar being this new team, or it being another duo. I ultimately decided on these guys because I think they can pull off what I want them to do. Hope you enjoy!! And that was an unblemished set of predictions, right there! I hope it's not too predictable. I'll be putting the Royal Rumble up tomorrow night btw.

The Vaudevillians(c) to win the WWE Tag Team ChampionshipsMatt and Jeff claimed the titles once again in their storied career after a Twist of Fate from Matt to Simon, and as Matt held Aiden off, Jeff Hardy hit a Swanton Bomb on Simon to win.January 29 2017 John Cena def. Rusev w/LanaCena tried an Attitude Adjustment but Rusev rolled off his back, and then tried a kick to the face, but Cena caught him and executed a schoolboy for the win.Right after the bell, Cena turned his back and got his hand raised in celebration, but was kicked in the back of the head by Rusev. Rusev beat down Cena before throwing him to the outside. Rusev exposed the concrete on the outside and hit an Alabama Slam on that. Rusev then turned Cena around and locked in The Accolade with no relent. After letting go, he picked Cena's head back up and slammed it on the concrete before leaving. Lana and Rusev left laughing as Cena was tended to medical personnel. The Hardy Boyz were caught by cameras after winning the WWE Tag Team Championships on the kickoff and they were excited, but also excited for later tonight in the Royal Rumble Match. They say this night will go down in history as the night The Hardy Boyz reached their full potential after 20 years. We then go to the ring for a Submission Match. Charlotte def. Brie Bella in a Submission MatchCharlotte had to break Brie's will in the Figure-8 and Brie had no choice in the middle of the ring with the pressure to submit.The commentators noted that one of three women matches are in the books, and up next is the match for the Divas Championship with the other Bella Twin. This leads to a video package for the match next. Bayley def. Nikki Bella(c) to win the WWE Divas ChampionshipNikki tried her Forearm Smash but Bayley caught Nikki with the Bayley-to-Belly to win her first title.Before the SmackDown broadcast team could even introduce the video package for the Last Woman Standing Match with the WWE Matrons Championship on the line, cameras directed to the crowd where Natalya and Becky Lynch had already started. They rang the bell and the two continued on in their brawl. Becky Lynch(c) def. Natalya in a Last Woman Standing Match to retain the WWE Matrons ChampionshipBecky hit a Superplex through a table to the outside of the ring and Lynch made it to her feet before the 10-count in which Natalya didn't.Renee Young catches WWE Universal Champion Dean Ambrose right before his match to get his thoughts on his title defense. Ambrose recalls Seth Rollins originally breaking up The Shield and he quickly rose the top, but now Rollins is at the bottom while he's at the top. Ambrose says Rollins doesn't have The Authority holding his hand anymore and vows to prove why Rollins should have been a nobody all along. This goes into Brennan and JBL introducing the video package for the WWE Universal Championship Match up next. Seth Rollins def. Dean Ambrose(c) to win the WWE Universal ChampionshipRollins got out of a Dirty Deeds and hit a jumping knee strike, pushing Ambrose back into the ropes, and as Ambrose went for a rebound clothesline, Rollins countered with a Pedigree to win the belt.Seth Rollins celebrates a huge, clean victory to become the second-only ever WWE Universal Champion, and at the right time this close to WrestleMania season. Backstage, we receive a medical update on John Cena. It was said Cena is now ruled out of tonight's Royal Rumble Match due to Rusev's attack after their match earlier tonight. Mick Foley is scrounging up a replacement at this time. Raw's Michael Cole and Tyson Kidd once again take over for this upcoming match. We see a video package of the long history between Daniel Bryan and Bray Wyatt, including their first Royal Rumble Match a few years back, their WrestleMania match last year, and leading up to tonight. After the video package is over, Michael Cole reiterates that if Daniel Bryan fails to capture the WWE World Heavyweight Championship tonight, he will never challenge for the championship again in his career. Bray Wyatt(c) def. Daniel Bryan to retain the WWE World Heavyweight ChampionshipBryan had Wyatt seconds from tapping to the Yes Lock when the ref is pulled out and hit with a Discus Clothesline. Bryan turned around and saw Luke Harper, but then hit a Suicide Dive on the SmackDown star. Bryan got back in the ring and was hit with a Sister Abigail. Wyatt got into the corner and crept to Bryan before hitting a second Sister Abigail in enough time for Harper to wake the official up and get the 3-count.SmackDown's Luke Harper got back in the ring to celebrate with Raw's Bray Wyatt, showing that no brand separation could separate the Wyatt Family. This was a shame as Bryan is now no longer to challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in his career. We get John Bradshaw Layfield down with Michael Cole and Tyson Kidd for the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match up next. There is a video package played detailing the history of the Royal Rumble as we are about to see the 30th annual Royal Rumble Match take place! 30-Man Royal Rumble MatchEntering at 1) Christian

FINN BALOR!!!! YAAAAS! Really hope he ends up choosing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and has an epic clash with Bray at WrestleMania. I can't believe you hit the Royal Rumble winner on the head. And I have my plans locked in for several months back, and all the way through next year's Royal Rumble, when it comes to the world titles at least. So we'll see if you get your wish.

January 30 2017 Raw tonight started with Bobby Lashley making his way to the ring. Bobby Lashley explained he has been in negotiations with Mick Foley for several weeks to come back and struck a deal late Saturday night to return to the WWE. Lashley said his original plans were to debut tonight, but unfortunate circumstances with John Cena forced him to join the Royal Rumble. Bobby Lashley did affirm his reason to come back is to win what he never did, being the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Lashley was interrupted by Christian, accompanied by Tomko, as Christian makes the bold claim he could have eliminated John Cena from the Royal Rumble, but Lashley should have never been in it. Christian made the mistake of saying if it was a 1-on-1 match, Christian said he would win every time. Lashley thought of that as a challenge and before Christian could back out, a referee rushed the ring to start the match.
Bobby Lashley def. Christian w/Tomko A flashback to Lashley's past in WWE saw him win a match with the Dominator in his Raw return.
Back from a commercial, the new WWE Tag Team Champions Matt and Jeff Hardy head to the ring after claiming the belts last night. While they were upset not to win the Royal Rumble Match last night, they are excited about reigning once again as tag team champions. The Vaudevillians interrupted and said they were offended by Jeff and Matt entering themselves in the Royal Rumble Match as they clearly don't care about revitalizing the tag team division. The Hardy Boyz spoke a passionate rebuttal to that, which is when The Vaudevillians confirmed their tag title rematch will be next week. When asked why they couldn't do it tonight, Aiden and Simon conversed before agreeing to do it RIGHT NOW!
The Hardy Boyz(c) def. The Vaudevillians to retain the WWE Tag Team Championships The Hardy Boyz got Aiden and Simon to accept this match, in which both Aiden and Simon were hit with Twists of Fate as it was a double pin for The Hardy Boyz.
Cesaro is at the interview table with Tom Phillips and when asked about his absence from WWE since Survivor Series. Cesaro explained he had issues with his shoulder that required him to be out of action these last couple of months, and when told it was to be longer, knew he couldn't miss WrestleMania. When asked about his plans, Cesaro said he wanted to challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, but doesn't know how he'll get back to that point, but Raw does need someone to challenge Bray Wyatt, referring to SmackDown's Finn Balor winning the Rumble. Samoa Joe then popped up and told Cesaro his time has past and as the two have a match booked for tonight, Samoa Joe warned Cesaro his shoulder will not only land him out of WrestleMania, but his career will end tonight.
Paige def. Kelly Kelly Paige secured the victory using the PTO on Kelly Kelly to win.
Michael Cole and Tyson Kidd update the world on Daniel Bryan, who immediately boarded a plane back to Washington last night after losing to Bray Wyatt. They have not been able to get in contact with the rogue superstar. Kidd reflects on knowing Bryan for a long time and last night devastated him. They switch gears to the match up next between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, a rivalry that got reignited last night.
Sami Zayn def. Kevin Owens After Sami Zayn avoided a Cannonball, Owens got back up in the corner but was in position for the Helluva Kick to lose to Zayn.
United States Champion Roman Reigns is with Mick Foley in Foley's office when Xavier Woods walks in. Woods says Reigns is the perfect person to be around, because Big E Langston is requesting a match with Roman Reigns! Foley questions the motive, but Roman Reigns says as long as it isn't for the championship, he's free for next week. Woods says Langston doesn't want the United States Championship, but he wanted the WWE World Heavyweight Championship but Reigns cost Langston that opportunity. Xavier Woods warns Roman Reigns about next week, stating Big E will come fired up next Monday.
Cesaro def. Samoa Joe via Disqualification When action spilled to the outside, Joe intentionally got himself disqualified, slamming a steel chair into Cesaro's shoulder.
After the bell had rung, Samoa Joe went through on his purpose of injuring the shoulder of Cesaro. They got back inside and Joe put Cesaro's injured shoulder in the steel chair. Samoa Joe decided to go up top when Neville stormed the ring to kick Samoa Joe in the head. Neville then pushed Samoa Joe off, as Joe hit the apron and fell to the floor. Neville freed the shoulder of Cesaro as he checked on him. When Neville saw Joe get up, Neville hit a Spaceman Plancha on Joe.
After commercial, Bayley came to the ring wearing her new WWE Divas Championship. Bayley talked about realizing her dream last night by becoming Divas Champion. Bayley said with one dream fulfilled, she looks to make another, and that is going to WrestleMania as WWE Divas Champion! Nikki Bella then headed out, congratulating Bayley, but telling her that dream won't be a reality. Nikki went ahead and told Bayley she's getting her rematch at Fastlane to regain her Divas Championship and become champion for a 5th time!
Michael Cole and Tyson Kidd hype up next week's Raw, which will feature Big E Langston going one-on-one with United States Champion Roman Reigns. Also, from Foley's office, is Neville wrestling Samoa Joe next week. They are interrupted by Bray Wyatt, as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion makes his slow entrance to the ring. Wyatt gets inside and sits in the rocking chair placed in the ring, with the spotlight on him. Wyatt goes into a long spill about what went into defending his title successfully last night. Wyatt brags about breaking Daniel Bryan and never having to see Bryan be world champion ever again! Wyatt laughed as he spoke of this, and then went on to say that he is on the "Fastlane to WrestleMania", referring to the next pay-per-view on February 26th. Bray promises to appoint his next challenger next week on Raw and solidify his title reign as he approaches WrestleMania. The spotlight goes out and once it comes back on, the rocking chair is rocking with nobody in it, as this creepy ending to Raw is what closes it.

SmackDown will begin broadcasting live every week, beginning tonight, as the Road to WrestleMania heats up!!
January 31 2017 The first live SmackDown kicks off this Tuesday night with the Royal Rumble winner Finn Balor. Balor applauds SmackDown for going live before mentioning his victory in the 30-Man Match this past Sunday. Balor is looking forward to main eventing WrestleMania this year. Balor even mentioned beating Seth Rollins for the title in Orlando, when Sheamus came out. Sheamus said the luck of the Irish was on the wrong side of the table last night and Sheamus said all the luck in the world couldn't have Balor pin his shoulders to the mat. This was a challenge laid forth for later tonight and it was accepted.
After commercial, The Ascension and Kane head to the ring for the final qualifier in the WWE Trios Championships Match. Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady, New York's Finest, head out and before even stepping in the ring, announced they have found their newest tag team partner and to welcome back JTG! JTG headed out to a pop, well known for his part in Cryme Tyme a decade ago.
New York's Finest and JTG def. The Ascension and Kane When Enzo Amore hurt his arm on a suicide dive, JTG took his place in the Bada Boom Shackalacka to pin Viktor in the ring.
Backstage, Dolph Ziggler is getting his interview with Renee Young and when asked about why he requested the match with Ryback tonight, he said it should've been him that won the Royal Rumble, not Finn Balor. Ziggler feels Ryback took WrestleMania from his grasps last night by eliminating him, so he'll make Ryback wish he would have never came to the arena last night.
Sasha Banks def. Maria Banks got a big win with the Bank Statement executed perfectly on Maria.
Trish Stratus is backstage with WWE Matrons Champion Becky Lynch, after just watching that last match. Stratus congratulated Lynch on her big victory on Sunday in the Last Woman Standing Match. Lynch thanked Stratus for the opportunity, but this is before Stratus reminded her that the Road to WrestleMania is underway and as champion, she'll have to step up her game if she wants to leave WrestleMania the champion. Becky said she's ready for whatever comes her way.
Ryback def. Dolph Ziggler via Disqualification When things were spiraling down for Ziggler, he grabbed a steel chair from ringside and intentionally got himself DQed.
Ziggler viciously used the steel chair to lay Ryback out on the outside before seating Ryback at the steps, placing the chair in front of his face, and hitting the sandwiching Superkick. Ziggler continued to shout Ryback took it from him and that he should've won the Royal Rumble.
After a commercial, Blake, Murphy, and Justin Gabriel are backstage with Renee Young as they make it clear they'll be the inaugural WWE Trios Champions, in spite of JTG's return tonight to help New York's Finest. Amore, Cassady, and JTG begged a differ as they came up and JTG handled the talking before security had to rush in to make sure things didn't get physical, but Blake, Gabriel, and Murphy wanted nothing to do with them tonight.
Shinsuke Nakamura def. Erick Rowan in a non-title match Nakamura leveled Rowan with a Kinshasa to win this non-title contest.
As Nakamura posed at the top of the ramp, he was attacked from behind... Brock Lesnar! Lesnar's here on this live edition of SmackDown! Lesnar stomped Nakamura away before hitting a couple German Suplexes at the top of the ramp. Lesnar then took and hit an F-5 while the crowd was still in shock that Lesnar was back. Heyman had come out to coach his client on, but when Heyman knew things were going from bad to worse, he tried to stop Lesnar who then threw Nakamura off the stage and onto the floor below. Nakamura instantly got medical attention as the fall didn't look good, but Lesnar didn't care one bit after attacking the Intercontinental Champion.
Back from commercial, Luke Harper is with GM Trish Stratus in her office. Stratus reminded Harper he's in the inaugural WWE Trios Championship Match in two weeks on SmackDown, the Valentines Day episode, but wanted to let him know she's been getting text after text, call after call from Raw and Mick Foley about Sunday. Stratus said she was very disappointed in Harper for getting involved in Raw's world title match. Harper showed no remorse, and this is when she informed Harper of his match next week against the former WWE Universal Champion Dean Ambrose.
Rich Brennan and JBL, up in the presses, react about tonight's SmackDown, the first of the new live broadcasts. They talk about the surprises of JTG and Brock Lesnar here tonight, and only things will heat up on the Road to WrestleMania. They look at next week's match between Luke Harper and Dean Ambrose, as well as WWE Matrons Champion Becky Lynch in action. Brennan and JBL then turn things back to the ring for the main event, Sheamus versus Royal Rumble victor Finn Balor.
Finn Balor def. Sheamus 48 hours after winning the Royal Rumble, Balor proved to be worthy by beating former world champion with a Coup de Grace.
During his celebration, the music of the brand new WWE Universal Champion hit! Rollins came out to the shock of everyone as Rollins hadn't been seen or heard from all night. Rollins dared to enter the ring with Finn Balor with the title slung across his shoulder. Rollins said he was back at the hotel with his night off when he heard Finn mention his name earlier. Rollins said he couldn't resist on coming back to the arena and setting him straight. Rollins declared himself as the new WWE Universal Champion and as long as he's holding that title, he's running the show and demands respect. Rollins recalls his 546-day reign as WWE World Heavyweight Champion and proclaims he'll double that with this title. Rollins warns Finn Balor to not mention his name again and he might spare his career at WrestleMania. Rollins drops the mic and begins to head out before Finn picks up the mic and clarifies what Rollins says, before saying Seth's name out of defiance. Rollins charges into a series of kicks before Finn uses the ropes for momentum to execute a Slingblade. Rollins doesn't get up but rolls out of the ring and grabs his championship off the apron, backing up the apron. Finn Balor, the Royal Rumble winner, stands tall after this!
