“AH, TAMPA! DON’T YOU DARE BE SOUR! CLAP FOR YOUR WORLD FAMOUS TWO TIME CHAMPS, AND FEEL THE POWWWAAAAH!”

The New Day make their way out to the ring as we go back to Monday night, where The Rock was interrupted by the WWE World Tag Team Champions. A war of words between the Great One and New Day ensued, before The Usos got in the mix. Back in the ring, Big E says The Rock should be ashamed of himself! Shame him, shame! Kofi says the only thing we were trying to do was enlighten The Rock. We wanted to show him that despite all his success and accolades in Hollywood, he still does not have what we have…and Xavier says that would be gold. Big E asks what did The People’s Booty do? Xavier says he sullied our good name by referring to our unicorn horns as a part of a llama that you are not allowed to say on television. This is a PG show, Rocky! Big E knows what The Rock is cooking…a big bowl of doo-doo, you doo-doo mouth! Suddenly, The Miz makes his way out onto the stage with mic in hand as he walks down the ramp. He feels their pain, because he too was insulted The Rock on Monday Night RAW. And to think that he would disrespected one of his vaulted contemporaries of the silver screens, but we all know that The Miz does not get upstaged! I am an A-lister, I am a movie star, I main evented Wrestlemania, I deserve respect! The Usos come out to interrupt The Miz, saying “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa! Whoa!” Miz, are you mad? I’m mad you’re still out here talking about Wrestlemania! Maybe that’s how you made all that money to buy that pretty little dress you have there. Xavier says you don’t talk to The Miz like that. He main evented Wrestlemania, and he has the best mouth in the business! And you two must be real comfortable riding your cousin’s coattails. Big E says it’s a real shame that there’s a gold allergy that runs in The Rock’s family! Kofi says look at you two now. You’re outnumbered, two to four! The Usos say they have more usos to even things up! Out first is Titus O’Neil, followed by Dolph Ziggler. All four men run into the ring, and chaos between all eight man ensues as we go to commercial.

The Highlight Reel with Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns

Back from commercial, Chris Jericho makes his way to the ring and gets a mic. Welcome to Thursday Night Jericho! What a week it’s been in the WWE, starting off with one of the greatest Royal Rumble matches in history. I might’ve lasted 51 minutes, but Triple H came out on top and is the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. And then on Monday Night RAW, the one on one debut of the Phenomenal One AJ Styles, and if you didn’t see the match, AJ vs Y2J was one for the ages. More importantly, the main event of Fast Lane is a triple threat to determine who will face Triple H at Wrestlemania for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship! The opponents, starting with Brock Lesnar and including my guest, the Lunatic Fringe Dean Ambrose! Dean makes his way to the ring holding a basket of flowers. Jericho introduces his otter guest, the other opponent in the triple threat match, Roman Reigns! Reigns makes his way through the crowd to the ring. Dean says he brought Jericho a gift; I don’t know if it’s budget cuts, but your set could use a little jazzing up. Roman brings Jericho a stool, and Dean puts the flowers on the stool. Jericho recounts how friendly Dean and Roman have been, but says they’re now best friends with an opportunity to headline Wrestlemania. Is that going to cause any animosity between you two? Roman says they’re not jealous people. We traveled all over the world talking about this. Dean says friends fight over all kinds of things: money, spotlight, stupid stuff, but we never fight about that kind of stuff. Chris asks what happens to that friendship at Fast Lane when the bell rings? Dean says he’s gonna punch Roman right in the mouth. Roman says he just gave his strategy away, so he’s gonna lower his forehead two inches and break his hands. Dean asks if he gave his strategy away, or is he tricking Roman? Is Roman tricking Dean? Dean might kick him in the ribs, or do both. Jericho wants to talk about Brock Lesnar; we know exactly what Brock is capable of, referring to himself and Roman, but Dean doesn’t. Dean says Brock is the single most destructive force in WWE, but he’s indestructible. Brock Lesnar is a monster, he’ll probably beat me to a pulp, but I’m the Iron Man of WWE. When a shot at the WWE WOrld Heavyweight Championship and the main event of Wrestlemania is on the line, I ain’t got no time to be scared of Brock Lesnar. Roman says this for real. I’ve been in the ring with him, he beat the hell out of me. He’s different from anyone you’ve competed against. He IS a beast. Dean says technically, he doesn’t have to beat Brock Lesnar…I just gotta beat you. Roman says it’d be the first time, because you never have before. Roman and Dean stare each other down when suddenly Bray Wyatt and his Family appear on the stage. Bray says we made a promise to the world, that we would bring forth the Apocalypse. At the Royal Rumble, the Wyatt Family slayed the Beast, Brock Lesnar. Now we ride, trampling over any of those who would wander the pastures of hubris! Roman says he’s doing it again, no one knows what you’re talking about. You came halfway, why not come down all the way to the ring and we’ll talk with a fist? Bray tells Roman to have patience, that patience is a virtue, and if you are ever to succeed on your quest you’ll need to engulf the heart of a good man. Tonight I aim to put that heart to the test, as well as the heart of Chris Jericho and Dean Ambrose. Me and two of my brothers are going to put all three of you down forever. Beware, the Apocalypse is upon you…run! We cut to black, before commentary hypes up the Smackdown debut of AJ Styles up next!

Back from commercial, commentary hypes the six man tag match for later tonight as the Social Outcasts are in the ring and Heath Slater has a mic in hand.

Adam Rose says that one phenomenal anomaly has the entire world freaking out! Bo Dallas says his best friend’s year long run in the Royal Rumble finally came to an end. Curtis talks about his 364 days, 3 minutes, and 23 seconds before AJ Styles eliminated him. What kind of a man does that? He calls him out, saying the Ax Man will rip him apart.

Did you think about what I said on Monday night? Truth says he doesn’t swing that way, but Goldust is talking about forming a tag team. Golden Truth, it’s written in the stars!
