– Dario Cueto is in his office with Konnan and Prince Puma. He tells Puma to find two partners for the Trios tournament. He announces Cuerno will be his opponent tonight, and will be one of the member of the opposing team, too. Tonight’s match will also be for the Lucha Underground World Title.

Trios Championship Tournament
Son of Havoc, Ivelisse & Angelico vs. Drago, Aerostar & Fenix

Fenix immediately drops Angelico with a big kick and Ivelisse makes the blind tag. Fenix refuses to hit her, and Angelico tags back in but gets kicked by Drago, who hits a springboard tornado DDT. Aerostar hits an awesome splash on the top of Fenix’s shoulders, who is on the top rope. He tries to pin, but his rival Drago pulls him off, as he wants the glory. This lets Aerostar get hit from behind.

Havoc tags himself in and has control, landing a standing star press. He goes and talks trash to Ivelisse, who tags herself in. Angelico gets back in shortly thereafter but is on the receiving end of a DDT and a dive by Drago. Angelico gets out of the way of a second one and causes Drago and Aerostar to collide. Ivelisse hits the third DDT of the match, and one by one, people start diving outside. Finally, Ivelisse hits one to the outside and all hell breaks loose. Havoc is getting double teamed and goes to tag Ivelisse, but she leaves him high and dry. Aerostar and Drago start arguing and slapping each other. Havoc takes advantage and hits a Shooting Star Press on Drago for the win.

Winners: Son of Havoc, Ivelisse, and Angelico via pinfall (Shooting Star Press)

I’m not sure what the WWE was looking for that they didn’t see in Ivelisse, but she has about every tool you could ask for.

– Konnan is in the gym with Prince Puma and says he wants Hernandez to be on their trios team, so they need to find one more guy. Johnny Mundo shows up and says he’s the third guy. Konnan isn’t happy.

Cueto comes out of his office and says that even though Star and Super Fly are friends, he wants them to go at it. To make sure they do, he’s made this a mask vs. mask match!

Mask vs. Mask match
Sexy Star vs. Super Fly’

The two trade reversals, and reach a stalemate. Super Fly strikes first with a couple of big kicks and an elbow. Star ducks a clothesline and hits a sitout facebuster to gain control of the match. Star drags Super Fly all around the ring by her hair, but Super Fly smacks her, dropping her to the ground. Star comes back with a flying headscissors, and follows up with a huge dive outside to the floor as the crowd chants.

Star hits several strikes to Super Fly and rolls him back inside, where she lands a sloppy Codebreaker. The two trade shots until Star hits a DDT for 2. Super Fly hits a powerbomb and misses a moonsault, which allows Star to pin him with a la magistral.

Winner: Sexy Star via pinfall (la magistral)

– Super Fly gets on his knees and has Star unmask him. Pentagon Jr comes out and kicks star, then hits the package piledriver on Super Fly, then breaks his arm.

Lucha Underground World Title
Prince Puma (c) (w/ Konnan) vs. King Cuerno (w/ Cage & Texano)

Cage & Texano join Cuerno, so there’s one of your trios teams. Cuerno goes to work on the arm of Puma. He gets bounced outside and Puma tries to dive on all three but he gets caught and fed to Cuerno for a neckbreaker. Hernandez and Mundo come to make the save, but Texano keeps them at bay with his bullrope. Vampiro hilariously buries Konnan on commentary as Texano and Cage help Cuerno cheat in the corner. Puma gets a second win and takes it to Cuerno with clotheslines and kicks before being sent outside and hit with a huge dive.

Johnny Mundo hits a big dive that sees him somersault kick Texano in the head and land on Cuerno. Cage and Hernandez square off but nothing comes from it. Back inside the ring Cuerno lands a big spinning blue thunder bomb that gets two. A brainbuster can’t finish it either. Hernandez distracts the ref, and Puma isn’t happy with it. He lands the 630 anyway for the pinfall.

Winner: Prince Puma via pinfall (630) to retain the Lucha Underground World Title

Puma isn’t happy about Hernandez helping. Cage attacks them from behind, and all hell breaks loose to end the show.

This week’s show was taped during WrestleMania week and these events took place as part of Axxess. We start with a look at all of that. Then we get down to the elimination tournament that gave one NXT guy a slot on the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

Hideo Itami vs. Adrian Neville

They’re just calling Adrian Neville “Neville” now and he takes in a warm welcome from the crowd, who as already chanting “this is awesome” before the bell.” Early grappling shows a pretty balance matchup. Neville looks limber and h takes Hideo down to the mat. Itami changes it up and gets on top for a one-count. Neville gets loose and plays with the crowd before taking Itami down again. Itami comes back and lands a decent shot as his contingent in the crowd roars with approval. Neville applies a headlock but Itami shakes it off and puts Neville out of the ring. Neville bides his time, coming back inside at the count of nine.

Neville gets on top and cracks Itami in the back with a swift kick. He puts Hideo on the mat for a near fall and then works him over in the corner. Neville keeps the advantage for a lengthy stretch until Itami nails him with a dropkick off the ropes and follows up with a flurry of maneuvers. He applies a sleeper hold as the crowd calls for the GTS. After enduring a suplex, Neville kicks out at two. Adrian stages a comeback, delivering a stunning superkick and puts Itami down but can’t seal the deal. Neville misses off the top and Itami clocks him with a corner stalling dropkick followed by a running kick for the three-count.

Result: Hideo Itami defeats Adrian Neville via pinfall.

Next up, it’s the other semi-final contest…

Finn Balor vs. Tyler Breeze

The crowd is looking pretty forward to this one. Balor pokes fun at Breeze by laying across the top ropes in the corner and then they get to work. Breeze eventually gets an edge and puts Balor in the corner. The ref pushes him off Finn and Breeze screams in protest. After dishing out some punishment, Breeze puts Balor on the mat and tries to garner a submission. They get to grappling again and Balor hits a dropkick to put some distance between the men. He gets fired up and waffles breeze with a corner enzugiri but the fight continues. Finn hits the Sling Blade and a few more high-impact moves including the coup de grace and three seconds later, it’s all over.

After an Axxeess highlight reel, we head for the main event…

Finn Balor vs. Hideo Itami

The guys square off and the crowd is psyched. It’s pretty even until Hideo gets moving off the ropes. After some fast hits, he puts Balor down for mat work. When they make it back to a vertical base, Balor comes to life with a dropkick and then he puts Itami into the corner for chops. Hideo counters but Balor delivers an enzugiri, earning a near fall. They battle back and forth and at one point, Itami teases the GTS but doesn’t finish it. Counter is met with counter and then both men hit the canvas for a short rest. Once they’re both up again, they trade blows. Balor seemingly wins the struggle until Hideo starts no-selling the punches. He can’t keep control of the bout, though, as Balor lands the Sling Blade. Finn goes to the top rope and Hideo blocks him, setting up the GTS again, but he doesn’t hit it. Balor tries for a roll up but Hideo kicks out and then delivers a shotgun kick, taking out his opponent for good.

Result: Hideo Itami defeats Finn Balor via pinfall.

After the bell, the crowd chants “Hug it out!” and the guys do just that. Then we get a look at a video package chronicling Itami’s road in WWE thus far. After they show his unceremonious elimination from the battle royal, WWE wraps it up on a high note. Good stuff.

WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin addressed some rumors surrounding his status with the company on the latest episode of The Steve Austin Show. You can hear the full interview at this link. Below are some highlights:

* Austin said there is no heat on him from WWE for allegedly missing WrestleMania 31 Week. He brought up the rumor that he was supposed to be on a flight with The Undertaker and said that was not true.

* Austin said he was never a part of any creative discussions for him to participate at WrestleMania 31. Austin said he didn’t turn anything down, he simply wasn’t there and was never scheduled to be there.

* Regarding Tough Enough rumors and heat between Austin and Vince McMahon, Austin said he did not turn the show down. He said he’s been talking with WWE about Tough Enough for some time and it was supposed to be filmed in February-March but we’re in April and it still hasn’t happened. Austin said the delay was nobody’s fault as it takes a lot of work for the different pieces of a reality show like Tough Enough to come together. When WWE got their pieces together, CMT wanted to do more Broken Skull Challenge and Austin couldn’t do Tough Enough due to the BSC commitments. Austin said he didn’t turn down Tough Enough because of heat with Vince and scheduling problems are why he couldn’t do the show. Austin said he wishes he could do Tough Enough but it didn’t work out. Austin said in a perfect world, he would have filmed Tough Enough in February-March and that would have been it.

* Austin also addressed the rumors about his podcast not being on the WWE Network. Austin said they did the first two and were going to make a deal to move forward. He said there was a deal that could have been made but it wasn’t and they’re not moving forward but there’s no heat there. Austin he heard Vince wasn’t happy with some of his questions for Triple H and Austin said that’s not true.

* Austin said WWE is going in their own direction and he’s going in his and down the road if they hook back up, it’ll be gangbusters. Austin said he will always have WWE in his blood. He acknowledged both sides have helped each other over the years and said it’s always a good thing and a fun thing when WWE and Steve Austin are in business together. Austin guesses there is no animosity towards him from WWE’s point of view and said he has no heat with them. Austin said, “No heat, nowhere. It’s cool, moving on…”

Stephanie Off TV A Month?, Roman Reigns Family Upset, More On AJ Retiring

– It was noted on last night’s WWE RAW that Triple H and Stephanie McMahon were absent because they were on a tropical vacation somewhere with no cell reception.

Stephanie could be off WWE TV for up to 4-5 weeks if reports of her being overseas with the Eisenhower Fellows Multi Nation Program are true.

We noted back in October 2014 that Stephanie was announced as a 2015 Eisenhower Fellow with 8 other executives from around the world.

Beginning April 5th, the Eisenhower Fellows in the MNP program were scheduled to go on a 4-5 week trip visiting one or two countries that they selected from a list of 42 potential destinations, including Australia, India, Nigeria, Bangladesh and others. We don’t know for sure that Stephanie is on the Eisenhower Fellows trip, however Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that it was scheduled to begin April 5th so the dates do match up.

– We noted before that AJ Lee likely knew she was going to retire from WWE going into the WrestleMania 31 match with Paige against The Bella Twins. It’s believed that AJ didn’t inform WWE officials of her retirement until after the WrestleMania match was over because they probably would have had her lose if they knew she was retiring so soon.

– Regarding the family of Roman Reigns being upset at WrestleMania 31 over plans changing with the WWE World Heavyweight Title, Reigns’ father Sika was said to be furious and while his uncle Afa was not happy, he was not as mad as Sika. While some in the family reportedly wanted Reigns to quit WWE over the loss, Reigns himself took the loss well.

We’ve noted how there was an incident between Scott Steiner and Hulk Hogan’s wife on the way to San Jose during WrestleMania 31 Week, that resulted in Steiner being banned from the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony at Hulk’s request.

TMZ has new details on the story and reports that Steiner threatened to kill Hulk to his wife. Steiner allegedly grabbed Hogan’s wife at baggage claim and threatened to “kill Terry” as soon as he landed.

TMZ reports that Jennifer didn’t immediately recognize Steiner but she did call Hulk, who took the next flight to San Jose and went with her to file a police report the next morning. Steiner is now being investigated for “felony terrorist threats” and police have airport surveillance video that shows Steiner confronting Mrs. Hogan.

Steiner offered this comment to TMZ:

“Typical Hogan. He’s just a punk.”
