WRESTLING?

Triple H addressed Batista's attack on Ric Flair by making the confrontation personal and digging into the real life personal moments that had bonded Triple H and Flair. Topics ranged from Flair's son dying to his health scare and near-death experiences, and Triple H made sure to position Batista as a sick person for what he did. Batista used his Instagram to crap on Philly and position himself as the undeniable villain -- but we'll have to see what happens the first time "I Walk Alone" hits inside an arena. We'll find out next week, as Triple H and Batista will meet face-to-face on Raw.
 
It took a lot longer than expected, but Samoa Joe finally won his first WWE title on the main roster, choke-slamming and pinning Andrade in a Fatal 4-way (which also included Rey Mysterio and former champ R-Truth) to claim the United States championship. The timing of the title change -- a go-home show ahead of Sunday's Fastlane pay-per-view -- comes as a surprise, but the reality is Joe, perhaps more than anyone else on either show, has been long overdue for a slice of gold. "For all you SmackDown superstars who [want a shot at this title,] don't worry, I'll be here to make you all go night-night soon enough," Joe said backstage immediately afterward.
 
The WWE had a surprise introductory host for its WrestleMania 36 press conference. Hulk Hogan, who grew up in the Tampa area and got his start in the business in the Bay area, opened the press conference.


Sure, she's got a bum knee, but her heart has made up for any physical ailments. As SmackDown Live's go-home show came to a close, Charlotte Flair attacked Becky Lynch (a night after Ronda Rousey beat the stuffing out of her). But despite the pummeling, Becky was able to muster the energy to put her longtime foe in a Dis-Arm-Her, showing Charlotte nothing is going to stop her from winning the Raw women's championship this coming Sunday and Fastlane and, as importantly, insert her name back into the WrestleMania card.
 
WWE Fastlane should answer many questions for WrestleMania, but not all of them

SmackDown tag team championships: The Usos (c) vs. The Miz & Shane McMahon
SmackDown women's championship: Asuka (c) vs. Mandy Rose
Women's tag team championships: Bayley & Sasha Banks (c) vs. Nia Jax & Tamina

The rise of KofiMania: Kingston tops latest ESPN WWE Power Rankings
Kofi Kingston, in the midst of the biggest moment in his career with a likely path to a WWE championship match at WrestleMania, has made the most of every opportunity that's come to him over the last two months.



With less than four weeks until WrestleMania 35, the push to fill out the card for the biggest show of the year went into overdrive Tuesday night. Two matches we saw coming after the events of Fastlane were locked in on SmackDown. Shane McMahon promised to continue to embarrass The Miz after beating Miz up in front of his dad in his hometown on Sunday, as McMahon insulted everyone from the crowd in attendance in Dayton to every employee of WWE looking for a handout. Later in the night, AJ Styles was positioned as the "voice of the indies" opposite WWE lifer Randy Orton, who not so casually namedropped former TNA boss Dixie Carter and Ring of Honor's pre-match handshakes.


In Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic semifinal action, the Forgotten Sons defeated Moustache Mountain and the duo of Aleister Black and Ricochet beat #DIY in a fantastic main event. Post-match, Johnny Gargano, who feigned an injury towards the end of the match, attacked Tommaso Ciampa as Ciampa appeared poised to deliver an attack of his own. Also on the show, in a match intended to determine a number one contender to Shayna Baszler's NXT women's championship, Io Shirai and Bianca Belair battled to a double disqualification. The DQ occurred when Baszler, who was on commentary, ambushed both superstars as well as Kairi Sane, who attempted to make the save. As a result, Baszler will defend her title against all three superstars in a Fatal 4-Way match at Take Over: New York.
