From Chicago:

Jack Hunter opened, and revealed the key matches on today's card:

UWA Women's tag titles: Dakota Kai & Wendy Choo defend vs. The Influence (Madison Rayne & Tenille Dashwood).
National title: Keith Lee vs. Ethan Page.
UWA World tag team titles: Street Profits vs. OGK (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett).
#1 contenders match for the men's tag titles, winners to face the Profits-OGK winner at Superbrawl next week: Pretty Deadly vs. 5150 (Slice Boogie & Shawn Hernandez).
UWA women's title: Raquel Rodriguez vs. Thunder Rosa.

1. Kacy Catanzaro & Kayden Carter def. Robyn & Charlotte Renegade in 9:30 when Charlotte was pinned after the 450 neckbreaker. It was the Renegade twins' UWA debut.

Stephanie McMahon came out to announce the field for the Mae Young Classic, which now will be in a series of groups, like soccer's World Cup tournaments. To wit:

WWE (Raw/Smackdown):

1. Bianca Belair vs. 16. Zelina Vega.
2. Charlotte Flair vs. 15. Dana Brooke.
3. Raquel Rodriguez vs. 14. Carmella.
4. Natalya vs. 13. Xia Li.
5. Sasha Banks vs. 12. Rhea Ripley.
6. Sonya Deville vs. 11. Liv Morgan.
7. Naomi vs. 10. Shotzi.
8. Alexa Bliss vs. 9. Aliyah.

Bliss & Carmella are on their respective honeymoons, and will have their first round matches in 2 weeks, when the tournament starts.

NXT:

1. Dakota Kai vs. 16. Tatum Paxley.
2. Elektra Lopez vs. 15. Valentina Feroz.
3. Cora Jade vs. 14. Roxanne Perez (Rok-C).
4. Sarray vs. 13. Lash Legend.
5. Tiffany Stratton vs. 12. Ivy Nile.
6. Io Shirai vs. 11. Fallon Henley.
7. Kay Lee Ray vs. 10. Wendy Choo.
8. Nikkita Lyons vs. 9. Kacy Catanzaro.

Before Stephanie could continue, the Easter Bunny made a surprise appearance, but this was a heel Bunny, who clobbered the Princess with a loaded basket, containing bricks. The Bunny unmasked to reveal----of course---Mandy Rose. The NXT women's champion is not in the tournament after losing a qualifier last week, and she feels slighted that she had to go through that process. Kai & Choo chased Rose off, then attended to Stephanie.

The rest of the field will be announced prior to Superbrawl.

2. UWA women's tag team titles: Kai & Choo def. The Influence in 11:40 when Choo pinned Dashwood after a corkscrew Vader Bomb.

Stephanie was being treated for a possible concussion backstage, but cut a promo on Rose, saying that Mandy got what she deserved last week, then went out and cheated to keep the NXT title three days later vs. Kai. Rematch at Superbrawl. Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne are still suspended for their actions.

3. National title: Keith Lee def. Ethan Page via the Big Bang Catastrophe at 12:45. Lee & Swerve Strickland will face Ricky Starks & Powerhouse Hobbs in a rematch in 2 weeks, as Lee faces Drew McIntyre for the UWA title at Superbrawl.

4. Proud & Powerful and Eddie Kingston def. Chris Jericho, Jake Hager, & Daniel Garcia in a return from Wednesday. The match went 17:55, ending when Jericho was pinned after the Street Sweeper. The Jericho Appreciation Society was DQ'd off-air on Wednesday for Jericho using the baseball bat on Kingston. Jericho had the bat, christened Floyd, confiscated before the match.

5. Hook submitted Ace Austin in 11:30 with Redrum (katihajime). Said to be very good, as Hook was extended to his longest match yet.

6. UWA tag titles: The Street Profits def. OGK in 13:04 when Montez Ford pinned Matt Taven after the frog splash.

7. Non-title: Mandy Rose vs. Sarray never started. Sarray was ambushed by Tiffany Stratton, continuing their issue, but Dark Angel interceded, and sent Stratton packing. After checking on Sarray, Angel went to the ring, and destroyed Rose. It was clearly Stephanie under the mask, though she didn't talk, and she dropped Rose with Falling Darkness twice, as punishment for her actions earlier.

8. UWA women's title: Thunder Rosa def. Raquel Rodriguez in 11:55 to win the title after the Fire Thunder Driver. Raquel was still selling the knee injury from 4/5, and couldn't get Rosa up for the Chingona Bomb. Rosa countered, and they went to the finish. Babyface match.

9. #1 contender's match for the tag titles, winners face the Street Profits next week at Superbrawl: Pretty Deadly def. 5150 in 18:30. Elton Prince (formerly Lewis Howley) pinned Slice Boogie after Spilled Milk.
