By Richard Trionfo on 2017-02-14 21:59:00

We start off with a look at Sunday night's Elimination Chamber pay per view that saw Bray Wyatt become the new WWE Champion and Naomi won the Smackdown Women's Title.

We are in Anaheim, California and your announcers are Mauro Ranallo, David Otunga, and John Layfield.  Your host is Tom Phillips.

The new WWE Champion, Bray Wyatt makes his way to the ring, and he is alone tonight.

Before Bray speaks, we are reminded that John Cena gets his rematch tonight.

Bray says that she never said this would be easy.  She said they will lie to you.  They will denounce you.  They will try to take away your gift and she was right.  Sister Abigail speaks the truth and so does he.  When he says that he knew this day was coming, it is not a lie.  Bray says he has the whole damn world in his hand.

Bray says too much power can be a very very scary thing, but not for him.  It would be bad for all of you.  Bray says open your ears and he will sing a beautiful melody.  He says he will lead you to paradise.  Stand in his way and you will burn in the fire.  Bray welcomes everyone to the Era of Wyatt.

Bray poses in the ring and John Cena's music plays.  John makes his way to the ring.

John says there is a very energetic crowd tonight.  John says he introduces the new WWE Champion, Bray Wyatt.  John says he noticed that Bray has some supporters in the house tonight and he has brainwashed them.  John says they chanted 'You deserve it'.  

There are three words on his shirt.  No man deserves anything around here.  They earn every single inch they get.  You think you got the whole world in your hands?  The entire world is looking at that target around your shoulder.  Seeing as how we have a match tonight for that WWE Championship and everyone seems really excited about that, why not cut the chit chat and get to earning it right here, right now.

AJ Styles' music plays and he says if John thinks he is getting his rematch first, John is wrong.  You think you can do everything because you are John Cena.  You can jump lines at the grocery store and airport.  Wait, you aren't normal like all of us.  AJ says this is about him.  This is about AJ Styles.  AJ says he beat John several times.  AJ says he knows he can beat Bray.  AJ wants his one-on-one rematch for the title right here, right now.

Daniel Bryan's music plays and he makes his way to the stage.  Daniel congratulates Bray on winning the WWE Championship.  We seem to have a conundrum.  John Cena is owed a rematch.  AJ Styles is owed a rematch for the WWE Championship.  We have promised the people of Anaheim a WWE Championship match.

Daniel says it will be John Cena versus AJ Styles versus Bray Wyatt in a Triple Threat Match.

American Alpha walk in the back as we go to commercial.

We are back and Dean Ambrose is looking for Baron Corbin as he walks through the back.

Winners:  Chad Gable and Jason Jordan

After the match, the Usos appear on the TitanTron.  The Usos ask if American Alpha were celebrating after the Usos took them out.  Jey says it is not paranoia when the hairs stand up on the back of your necks.  Jimmy says it's the Usos.

James Ellsworth is in the back and he invites Carmella to dinner for Valentine's Day. 

Carmella says she thinks James is cute, but . . . 

Dean stops by and he wants to know where Corbin is.

Dean tells James that Carmella is using him.

Carmella asks James to deal with the gas station attendant.

Daniel asks if there is a problem here.

Dean asks to beat up James Ellsworth now.

Daniel says that Dean has some anger issues after Sunday and Dean and James have issues so they have a match.

James asks what just happened and Carmella says that he can teach that dirtbag a lesson.

We go to commercial.

We are back and James Ellsworth tells everyone to be quiet so he can introduce Carmella.  

Dean Ambrose's music plays for their match but he does not come out. 

Baron Corbin drags Dean Ambrose onto the stage and he kicks Dean as they go to the floor.  Ambrose with forearms and then Dean with a forearm off a storage case.  Corbin sends Ambrose onto an electrical board with Deep Six and it sends off sparks.

We see what happened during Elimination Chamber when Natalya interrupted Nikki's interview and Maryse got a powder shower.

Daniel Bryan tells Nikki this has to stop.  

Nikki says she has to defend herself.  

Daniel says he has an idea and Nikki will like it.

Natalya shows up and brings up Nikki's boyfriend and the fact that Nikki is Daniel's sister in law.

Nikki blames Natalya for the loss at Survivor Series.

They argue over whose fault it is.

They push each other and security comes in to try to pull them off each other.  

Daniel says next week, they will have a Falls Count Anywhere match next week.

Daniel storms out of the office.

We go to commercial.

We are back with a Moments Ago Moment of Baron Corbin deciding to save James Ellsworth's life by attacking him in the back and near the stage.

Baron Corbin walks in the back and he is asked about why he did what he did.

Baron says people cannot be that stupid.  He is not WWE Champion because of Dean Ambrose.  Dean is on his way to the hospital because of Baron Corbin.

Renee Young is with Dolph Ziggler in the back.  Renee asks Dolph about what he did after his match on Sunday.

Dolph says he has been sore and he has been a loser, but the only sore losers are Kalisto and Crews, thank to him.  What Dolph did was send a message to the new generation.  Everyone thinks they are here to replace him, but they are not.  Dolph says he is just getting started and he has a long way to go.  If he has to eliminate an entire generation, he will do it.  No one steals the show like him and no one will steal his place.
