WWE Monday Night Raw October 8, 2018 Results and Review From Chicago To Somewhere

Elias WWE 

WE start the show with talking of course, and it features Triple H coming out and getting a great ovation. I love the new HHH shirt, by the way. Due looks really cool, as a COO, wow. I want to be a COO that looks that good at that age. Good on him. Shawn Michaels would show up too.

Triple H said an avalanche came down on him and Michaels, as they were on top of it. That’s not how avalanches work. If you’re on top of a mountain, the ground beneath you could shift, but unless you’re underneath the avalanche to start, then you will not get buried, as you’re on top of it. If you’re on top of a mountain, avalanches can’t bury you, you’re on top. This doesn’t make sense, I guess.

Bobby Lashley defeated Kevin Owens

Does Kevin Owens ever get the upper hand any more? He now has jobbed to Lashley, and once again loses. He didn’t get completely buried, but with Lio Rush and Lashely together, the big man has beaten Kevin Owens again. So much for that “prize fighter” gimmick. This was lackluster, and the crowd was dead for a lot of it. Lately would “turn” as he ended up beating up Kevin Owens after the match, and that was that. I guess that’s cool, Lashley is a bad guy, and Owens is a good guy? Meh. Owens hasn’t been much of anything in the past few months, so maybe this will change? I don’t know. Boring match, with an ok ending, and a beat down of Owens.

Elias Sang

Elias did his thing, only to get interrupted by Ronda Rousey, and that was that. I don’t know what the purpose of that was, but Elias gets the book, and the women get a turn in a rematch from the early morning ppv.

Ronda Rousey and The Bella Twins defeated The Riott Squad

This was a cool match, I guess. It wasn’t that great overall, it was just another match that we saw from Australia.

After the match, The Bella Twins tried to beat down Ronda Rousey, and they couldn’t take her on after too long, as Rousey got the better of the two for a moment, until they threw Rousey into the post and ring steps. The Bella Twins, lack wrestling skill, but look good, so they get the promotion. Must be nice.

Bayley and Finn Balor defeated Jinder Mahal and Alicia Fox

Well, this was a match. Entertaining, a bit, short, but it had enough gusto to make it worth watching. A good deal of back and forth, with the ending that you would expect, as Balor picked up the victory after his stomp from the top. Not bad at all. I didn’t hate it, but it had no major consequences.

The Conquistador won the global battle royal

This was a joke, and it was Kurt Angle under a mask. That’s all I can say about this joke of a match. Such a large roster and this is what they give us? Ok, sure.

Ember Moon defeated Nia Jax via cont out

Nia Jax controlled most of this match, but it turns into a terrible solution over time, as Jax got counted out and that was that. I guess that’s ok? I don’t know. I don’t care about this.

Trish Stratus and Lita Announcement

Trish Stratus came out and got a mediocre reception. Her and Lita will take on Alexa Bliss and Mickie James. Meh. Just Meh. Lita came out, and she’s hot as ever, I love her.

Chad Gable and Bobby Roode defeated The Ascension

Well, this was a match, and without many consequences, it was just entertaining to see it go down. Gable would win with his rolling duplex, and that was that. Roode was set to win the match, and he looks like he lost some weight, he’s not on the roads any more.

After the match, the AOP ran down and squared off against Roode and Gable and that was that, I guess that was ok.

The Wolves defeated The Shield

Fast paced, back and forth, great overall push forward, with a focus on breaking down the elements here. Lots of back and forth, with a great push forward within the timing. Drew McIntyre would get the victory here, and that was that. Good stuff overall.

WWE Monday Night Raw August 27, 2018 Results and Review More Big Dog

Ziggler vs Big Dog - Source WWE 

The start of the show was a shower of boos for the BIG DOG! Oh boy here we go.

Roman comes down, and immediately he shows off how smug he was. There was a fan that put out his fist to get a bump, and Reigns basically shook his head, like, “na, I’m good”, you know like a smug a-hole.

The show opened up with talking, and I hate that. Bryan and Roman will be inside Hell in a Cell for the Universal Title, and well, Roman will win with a spear as per usual. We then get a straight up tag team match for later tonight.

Baron Corbin came out and made matches, and then said he was going to take on Finn Balor. This was a rematch from Summerslam, but this is not the same as it was, because Finn is not the demon, he’s just the man, and you know he’s not as good.

Finn Balor defeated Baron Corbin via DQ

The match was interesting enough, it was slower than the previous one. The two went through a few back and forth motions, but it ended up getting Corbin disqualified by using a chair. However, after he introduced a chair, and lost, he went outside of the ring and announced that this was a match that was NO DQ.

Baron Corbin defeated Finn Balor

So, the match was restarted, and well, after a chair shot, Corbin wins again. That was that. Great. Nice job. Lol.

Sasha Banks defeated Dana Brooke

Yep. You knew this was going to happen, so meh. Dana is awesome though, I’d love to meet her one day. She has some insane maneuvers, but alas, she loses in a short match.

Seth Rollins came out and did an open challenge. Because the writers of Raw are that lazy.

Seth Rollins defeated Kevin Owens

Well, what do you know? Seth Rollins defeated Owens in one hell of a television match. Owens threw everything he could at Rollins, and even though he showcased just how good he was, he couldn’t put away Rollins. This included moonsault attempts, fighting back from buckle bombs, and so much more. I was impressed, and yet Owens loses again. Oh well. Rollins and Owens put on a show, and that’s all that matters sometimes.

Kevin Owens Quit.

Perhaps, if this is not a work, it’s a good thing. Owens said he quit and left the arena, that’s it.

The Revival defeated The B Team

This was a steady match, but it was short. It was non-title, and of course, the booking yet again does that things where the champs lose and then will win when the titles are on the line. Either way, The Revival got the best of the B Team and would win with the Shatter Machine. Not a terrible match, mind you, but it was short, and well, it served to just make it seem like the B team aren’t that good overall. We shall see what happens next, won’t we?

Elias Did His Thing

Elias was stopped by the leading lady of Trish Stratus, no joke. Stratus came down and got a huge ovation. Trish slapped Elias and then we got Ronda Rousey coming out and that was the end of the segment.

Natalya defeated Alicia Fox

A very short match. Yeah. It was ok at best.

Bobby Lashley defeated The Ascension

The Ascension was buried. That’s it. Thanks for getting a paycheck.

Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman defeated Dolph Ziggler and Drew Mcintyre via DQ

Well, Braun Strowman turned heel when he tagged in and wouldn’t help Roman Reigns. So he let the guys beat him up then the Shield came down and they got those hands. End of story. Wow. Meh.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 6, 2018 Results and Review

Ronda Rousey Makes Her WWE Raw Debut - Source WWE 

Just when you thought you tuned into a wrestling show, two dorks come to the ring, and start to jibber jabber. That’s right, we open the show with Kurt Angle and Baron Corbin talking. Great. Roman Reigns came out and starting to join the guys in a Jib Jab session.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 6, 2018 Results and Review

Roman Reigns defeated Baron Corbin

The opening match was setup from the talking, and it wasn’t that great, as you’d expect. Roman and Corbin did do battle, and it wasn’t too bad at first glance, but when Corbin couldn’t put the Big Dog away, he decided to walk. That led Finn Balor to come out, and that caused Corbin to go back to the ring and get hit with a Superman punch as he was trying to get back in. How wasn’t he counted out? Reigns hit that spear and we saw Corbin lose to Reigns, because, of course we did.

Bobby Roode defeated Mojo Rawley

Wow, a good Mojo match? Yep, looks like Mojo steps out of the shadow of former football players, and others that want to get into Pro Wrestling, because he put up a good fight against Bobby Roode. However, the wiley Roode was able to garner a great deal of offense, and eventually get Rawley caught up in a frenetic finish, with a nice DDT to end it. It was glorious, no doubt, and it was the end of the match, clean as a sheet. Rawley’s win streak ends here.

Elias Got A Beat Down

Elias got a beat down from Bobby Lashley, so that was that. Lashley got the better of him, and that was that. That’s all I can say about this. It was lame.

The Kevin Owens Show

Well, another non-wrestling segment. Right now my computer has no sound because the sound card fried, so I have to just watch these idiots try to entertain. The funny part was that at one point the stage seemed to take a bump and then tipped over completely! You know why? It was Braun Strowman, he tipped over the stage for no reason! Lol. Oh well. I’m tired of this. I’m going to the bathroom. After this, Bruan Strowman went to the ring and apparently was supposed to fight Jinder Mahal.

Jinder Mahal defeated Braun Strowman

Well, they sure hindered Jinder now. Jinder won, again, although because Owens interrupted the match, if you can call it that. This is hindering Jinder, if you ask me.

Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre defeated Seth Rollins

Of course they did! They always seem to do this with the wrong people. If this was John Cena or Roman Reigns, Ziggler and McIntyre would’ve lost. But not this time, the show was all Rollins trying to survive, and just couldn’t make it happen. Rollins did throw down a lot of great points of contention, but not enough to make this worthwhile, as he lost after the numbers game kept going through the motions, and that was that. Rollins is always fun to watch, even when he’s getting a beat down, lol.

The Revival versus The B Team Ended in A No Contest

This match didn’t get too far along before The Deleters of Worlds showed up and laid them all out. Ok, well that was short, and sweet, and honestly, I didn’t care any longer. The WWE has taken an amazing thing and made it into a watered down Kool Aid solution that is just not worth while for me or anyone else for that matter.

The Riot Squad defeated Sasha Banks and Bayley

This again? Ok, well this wasn’t a terrible match. Things were going well for the best friends, but it turned out that a masked woman in a hoodie showed up and caused a distraction. That led to the famous distraction roll up, and that led to a Morgan pinfall, and that was that. The person under the hood? It was none other than Ruby Riott! She’s back and she helped her girls get the win here!

Ronda Rousey defeated Alicia Fox

Well, did anyone really think that Ronda Rousey was going to lose in this match? Alicia Fox had barely any sort of offense here, and Ronda would eventually lean back and basically break Fox’s arm. Even with Alexa Bliss outside, that wasn’t enough, and well, Rousey won huge. Rousey is going to end up just team rolling everyone, that’s it. A good match this was not, and well, Alexa Bliss is on the radar next, isn’t she? Rousey wins, and that’s really the story that WWE wants to tell right now. I like Rousey, but she’s going to need more competition, and get less winded in the ring. She was truly winded after a short match, and you could tell in the post match interview. Alexa Bliss tried to attack, but was thwarted fast. That was the end.

Raw was not great, it was kind of boring at times, had a lot of talking, and didn’t make full use of a lot of the people that they have on the roster. I didn’t hate this episode, but it had a lot of filler. Bliss is running scared right now.

WWE Monday Night Raw June 11, 2018 Results and Review Things Keep Going Down

This Is What Raw Needed? - Src wwe dot com

Here we go, another edition of Raw, and this time around, I was able to watch and review it! Yay! If you follow this blog, you will know that I will be at Money In The Bank and NXT Takeover this weekend in Chicago! That’s right, I will be there, and it should be a lot of fun. I’ll take pictures for this website. Anyways, let’s discuss the crappy, or rather terrible Raw that came through.

WWE Monday Night Raw June 11, 2018 Results and Review

The opening of the show was a throw back to where everyone was on their ladder talking with microphones and it was a mixed bag of men and women. This was stupid.

Natalya defeated Sasha Banks, Alexa Bliss, and Ember Moon

Perhaps one of the best moments of the show was this match. This was a good women’s match, and it had a lot of back and forth action, and some good hits throughout. Ember Moon is so good, Bliss, Banks, and Natalya all have great offense, and there was a lot of counters here before Natalya would get the big win. I hope she gets the briefcase at this point.

Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre defeated Breezango

This was a jobber match, and burial for the most part.

Roman Reigns defeated Sunil Singh

We were told that Jinder Mahal was going to face off against Roman Reigns, but he didn’t. Instead, Sunil Singh was in there and he got buried. But after Jinder hit Roman with his finisher and left him laying in the ring. Jinder will lose at Money in the Bank, mind you.

The B Team defeated Heath Slater and Rhyno

I’m glad that one member of the Nexus and Rhyno are getting big paychecks, while The B Team is getting a push, only to lose this Sunday, right? I don’t know, this was a squash match.

Seth Rollins broke Elias’ guitar.

Oh, ok.

Ruby Riott defeated Bayley

This was a great match! Riott is such a fun woman to watch in the ring, and Bayley is always good when they let her really wrestle. It was fun, back and forth, and Riott won the match with a little help from her friends. I loved this, and it was definitely worth checking out. Perhaps the best match of the night! Go back and see this one and see how Riott and Bayley were able to throw down a good match on a crappy Raw.

Ronda Rousey made Nia Jax Tap Out

Yeah, that’s exactly what happened, nothing to see here.

No Way Jose defeated Curt Hawkins

Curt Hawkins dressed up like someone in the No Way Jose party, then got beat down and he lost again. That was that.

Sami Zayn vs Bobby Lashley in an Obstacle Course

This is what wrestling was missing! This was the worst ever. Just stupid.

Braun Strowman defeated Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, and Bobby Roode

This was a very good main event, with lots of action, including Roode, Balor and Owens hitting Strowman with their finishers, only for him to kick out. Too bad he can’t beat Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar. This was a good match, what can I say? Strowman would win, but he took a beating from all other men in this match, and it’s clear to see that he’s going to be getting close to winning the big ladder match this weekend, but will most likely not get the big win.

This night of Raw was abysmal when you compare it to the New Japan Show, and that’s that.

WWE Monday Night Raw May 21, 2018 Results and Review The Billion Dollar Play

Finn Flies - SRC wwe dot com

The show opened up with Kurt Angle and Stephanie McMahon. She told Roman Reigns that he lost and he should take things up with Jinder Mahal. Of course, that meant someone was coming out, but it wasn't Mahal, it was Kevin Owens. I hate talking segments on Raw, and so sick of these things that keep coming through. This is like a parody that South Park did. Stephanie McMahon would get upset by Kevin Owens coming out, and decided to make a match, and that was next. The match would feature Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens. A good start to the show, but it took roughly 16 minutes to get to the match.

WWE Monday Night Raw May 21, 2018 Results and Review

Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens Ended in a No Contest

This match was a good opener. Roman Reigns looked strong throughout the match, and Kevin Owens was getting beat up for the most part. While there were some moments where Owens hit Roman with some hard shots, you could tell that Roman was being relegated to win this one, as he kept getting the upper hand through the counters. Jinder Mahal would come down and mess things up for Roman Reigns, but after that, Seth Rollins came down to help his buddy Roman, and that was that. I'm not sure why Rollins cares all of a sudden, but apparently he does now.

Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins defeated Kevin Owens and Jinder Mahal

You would think that Teddy Long came down and set this up, because when the commercial break ended, we had ourselves a "straight up" tag team match, playas! That's right, a full scale beat down of Roman Reigns and Rollins, as Owens and Jinder were able to isolate the Big Dog for this one. It was a fun tag match, and while it wasn't the best one ever, it was definitely good for what it was, a long bout with some focus on Reigns getting beat up while Rollins had to wait for the hot tag. Rolins would get the big win here and that's that. I didn't really care for the ending, but I guess that's that. Roman Reigns and Rollins gets cheered.

Jinder Mahal came out after the match, and hit Roman Reigns with a chair and beat up Rollins as well. Jinder Mahal just kept hitting Reigns with a chair and that was that. I liked that part of the show.

Sami Zayn and Bobby Lashley's Sisters

This perhaps is the worst thing I've seen since Bayley, this is your life. This was just sad. I don't even want to talk about it. It was the worst.

Ember Moon defeated Alexa Bliss

Well, that's the end of Alexa Bliss. This was a cool match, but Bliss lost this one, after Ember Moon was able to turn the tables and hit her finisher on Bliss. I was impressed, Alexa Bliss was crying, and wow, Ember Moon is good. I hope to see more of her on Raw.

Baron Corbin defeated No Way Jose

This was a slow moving match, and No Way Jose ended up losing big time here. Corbin hit End of Days, and well that was that. This was a short match, and it was made even shorter with a commercial.

The B Team defeated Breezango

A quick match with The B Team celebrating, and that's it. Not bad, not great, just kind of there.

The Women's Title Match Signing

This was boring. Nothing happened here. I will be at Money In The Bank, however.

Elias defeated Bobby Roode

This was a good match, and was happy to see that Elias was able to go through Bobby Roode. Roode definitely did well here, but Elias was the one that was getting the win, and he did so with Drift Away. Roode is great at wrestling, and Elias is definitely no slouch, that's for sure. I liked this match. I like Elias, I am walking with Elias!

Braun Strowman defeated Finn Balor

This was a fun match for what it was. Balor kept fighting against Strowman, and it just looked like he was going to be the aggressor throughout, but Strowman kept fighting back. Over the course of this match, a lot went down, with both guys showcasing the best of their offense, including several big moves from Balor to Strowman on the floor. However, Strowman wasn't to be beaten yet again.

Well, there you have it, Raw was nothing big, and well, it was a show. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. I think that there's better ways to use the roster, but alas, it had a few moments, I guess.

WWE Monday Night Raw May 7, 2018 Results and Review

Balor Into The Crowd - SRC WWE 

The flagship show had to be better than what the WWE offered at Backlash, right? Well a lot of people were saying the same thing, and that’s what we kind of got, a show that was better than the sum of Backlash, but not without a few holes here and there. Whatever the case is, the qualifying matches for Money In The Bank have begun.

Also, I WILL BE AT MONEY IN THE BANK 2018! That’s right, Sir Jorge, the writer of this blog will be at MONEY IN THE BANK 2018, so if you’re reading this and you want to finally meet me, or get a drink, holla at ya boy!

WWE Monday Night Raw May 7, 2018 Results and Review

When will there be a show where they don’t just go into talking? This is a stupid thing to work with, and something that I hate. But hey we got another show that started with talking, what can I say? I hate it, and that’s it.

Braun Strowman defeated Kevin Owens

The only good that came out of the talking was a setup for this match. This match was a knock out brawl with Strowman taking on Owens and basically running rough shot for a few moments. Owens would get a comeback here and there, but it was all Strowman that was going to get the win here, and boy did he ever. He gets the win against Owens, and I wonder how much they are paying him to extend his contract another 5 years, and then lose like he is losing.

Baron Corbin and The Revival defeated No Way Jose and Titus Worldwide

This was a fast paced, back and forth match with a lot of action. It wasn’t a hard one to watch, but it certainly had an upside, with lots of action. This was a short match, and of course you saw the big win coming with Baron Corbin pinning No Way Jose. I have a feeling that No Way Jose is not going to make a splash in the WWE main roster, but that’s just my two cents at the present.

Ember Moon defeated Sasha Banks and Ruby Riott

This match of the night for my money was definitely the women’s triple threat, at least that’s my humble opinion. Though there were some slow moments, the majority of the match was back and forth, with lots of offense, and of course Ruby Riott throwing down some incredible moves and timing. Sasha Banks and Ember Moon were good too, and the end result was good with a nice finisher to both Riott and Banks, with Ember Moon getting the win and now going to be in the ladder match in June. I loved this match. It was a nice one for the ladies. Oh, and at one point the Riott Squad interfered and caused Bayley to run down and try to save Banks, to mostly no avail, but at least gave it her best shot.

Bobby Lashley interview.

This was just Lashley talking about his life, and his sisters. Good for him.

Jinder Mahal defeated Chad Gable

This wasn’t much of a match, a quick one with Mahal getting a lot of the offense in and eventually picking up the win. Chad Gable threw down some good moves, but it was Mahal that was going to get the win here, and we all knew it.

Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre defeated Heath Slater and Rhyno

Even though there was 10,000 plus people chanting “He’s Got Kids”, and going crazy for Slater and Rhyno, the WWE decided to let McIntyre and Ziggler basically run rough shot through the team. They are basically jobbers now, and I just don’t get it.

Bobby Roode defeated Elias

Another good match here, with Bobby Roode finally get revenge for what Elias was doing to him this whole time. The whole thing was back and forth, with lots of action, and eventually the Glorious DDT that put away Elias for good in this match.

Seth Rollins defeated Mojo Rawley

This was another decent match for Raw, and Seth Rollins opened up a challenge for his title and was answered by Mojo. This was a fast paced, back and forth match, and it had a lot of great spots, including Mojo nearly pinning Rollins at one point. Mojo is quite good since the last time I saw him, and was able to make serious moves against the Intercontinental Champion, but of course, Rollins would get the win here, and it was quite good overall.

Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt defeated Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas

Back to being jobbers with Bo and Curtis, what can I say? A weak match.

Finn Balor defeated Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn in a triple threat match

This was a fun match with a lot of action, even spilling into the crowd for some brawling. Zayn and Balor isolated Reigns at one point and was able to garner a great deal of success with their offense, and would eliminate him for most of the match. But of course he’d come back and it looked like he was going to win, but then out of nowhere Jinder Mahal would come out and cost him the match, leaving Zayn to get pinned by Balor for the win, and that was Raw!

Overall, this wasn’t a bad night of wrestling, and it made up for the lackluster show from Backlash. I really enjoyed the longer matches, and good segments on Raw this week, and think it was a better showing than I’ve seen in a while from the WWE. Quality night of wrestling that’s for sure.

WWE Monday Night Raw April 16, 2018 Results and Review The Shake Up Night One

Ronda Rousey Take Down 2018 - src wwe dot com

Let’s shake things up! That’s what we were going to get with Monday Night Raw, and it was interesting to see how things shaped up. It’s better than the last one, but let’s see how it all works out.

WWE Monday Night Raw April 16, 2018 Results and Review

Jeff Hardy defeated Jinder Mahal for the US Championship

Jeff Hardy is so good, and still so clean when he is in the ring. He was able to throw down some good offense against Jinder and Mahal wasn’t bad. Jinder Mahal and Jeff Hardy threw down a great deal of back and forth and I enjoyed it tremendously. I was rooting for Jeff towards the end, and was surprised to see that he was able to pull the title away from Jinder Mahal. Apparently, Jeff Hardy is now Hindering Jinder! Great opening match.

Bayley vs. Sasha Banks

The two women were throwing hay makers at each other and it was getting ugly until the Riott Squad broke into the ring and started to beat down the two women. They just kept fighting them, and beat them down with relative ease. It was an interesting jump, and one that didn’t have music played first.

The Authors of Pain defeated Heath Slater and Rhyno

Well, the Authors of Pain once again bury the duo of Slater and Rhyno and that’s the end of them. Sorry about that.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn showed up for Miz TV

Miz Tv was special in that they announced Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, but then again, Miz ended up being told that he would be moved to Smackdown and that Daniel Bryan is waiting.

Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt defeated The Revival

Why even have NXT tag teams come up? The Revival once again lose, and the team of Hardy and Wyatt is just stupid to me. The match was ok at best, and you knew that The Revival was going down, which they did.

Ember Moon defeated Mickie James

One hell of a match here, and it wasn’t long. However, the finish saw Ember Moon hitting her finisher and nearly wrecking Mickie James. This match is worth mentioning as the best match of the week, just for that insane finish. I loved it.

Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre showed up and beat down Titus Worldwide

I have nothing to say about this.

Samoa Joe confronted Roman Reigns

Samoa Joe babbles on and Roman Reigns all has to say one thing, but he doesn’t. He just needs to say that Samoa Joe couldn’t beat Lesnar either.

Natalya defeated Many Rose

This was a fast paced match, but it ended fast with a little help from Rose’s friends. Natalya would get a beat down after the fact, but out came Ronda Rousey and fought Sonya Deville and it was fascinating to see her beat down Sonya fast. I loved it.

Breezango defeated Cesaro and Sheamus

A short match, and nothing too crazy here, just an average match where Breezango steals a win. It was a fun little romp, and their backstage antics was fun to watch too.

Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins, Finn Bálor, Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley and Bobby Roode defeated The Miz, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and The Miztourage

This was a fast paced 10 man tag and nothing crazy. Just a lot of finishers, and back and forth. I loved it and it’s funny to see how they all interact. The best part here involved The Miz. The Miz got isolated and The Miztourage refused to tag in, and then Braun Strowman beat him down and pinned him for the win. The Miz gets sent out beaten, and without his crew.

An overall good night of wrestling, with a stacked Raw show. I liked it, even though it felt a little long. I hope Smackdown is just as good, otherwise this time around Raw will win the big showdown. I loved it. I’m sure others did too.

WWE Smackdown Live March 20, 2018 Results and Review Daniel Bryan Returns To Ring

Daniel Bryan Catches Beef - Src WWE dot com 

You knew this was going to happen, I knew it was going to happen, and it certainly occurred, Daniel Bryan returned to the ring, and it wasn’t without a lot of fanfare.

WWE Smackdown Live March 20, 2018 Results and Review

The show started with Daniel Bryan giving a great in-ring speech and saying that he was cleared for competition. Everyone shed a tear, and was in with Bryan here. I loved it.

Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Rusev

The artist beat Rusev. Despite the many Rusev Day chants, Nakamura was able to garner a great deal of success here with his moves, and fast paced style. He would eventually get a big win here and Rusev would go down. After the match he got double teamed and fended off both Rusev and Aiden English, and was left standing. He then got on a mic and said that he didn’t need Aj Styles to save him.

Baron Corbin defeated Tye Dillinger

The perfect 10 was buried, and it saddened me.

Natalya defeated Charlotte Flair

This wasn’t half bad, a good match with some great back and forth. As Natalya looked like she was going to win, Charlotte Flair was out and in came Natalya with her briefcase. However, she got knocked out before she could get the final go to cash in, and Natalya pins Flair thanks to the distraction. Not a bad women’s match nor ending, but I wonder when Carmella is going to get a shot at winning the belt with her briefcase, geez.

Harper defeated Jimmy Uso

This was a boring match for me, but it had Jimmy Uso fighting for his life against Harper. The two worked well together, but at the end of the day is was Harper that was able to get the big win here.

Jinder Mahal and Bobby Roode were arguing when Randy Orton showed up and then got into a scuffle.

This scuffle had one of the Signh Brothers getting beat down, and that’s about it. Mahal ran out of the ring after pushing Singh into Orton and Roode. They both beat down the little guy, and then nearly fought one another.

Becky Lynch and Naomi defeated Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan

This was an ok match, but I’m growing tired of seeing tag team matches with the same people very week. Becky Lynch got the submission after a short match, and that was all that happened here. Not terrible, but definitely not that great.

Daniel Bryan Fired Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn

Daniel Bryan called out Owens and Zayn and eventually fired both of them. They got mad, and tried to beat him up, but he fought back. Bryan fought hard, and it was awesome to see him fight back, but the numbers games were starting to rise and that wasn’t fun. Eventually Bryan got beat down and that was the end.

Not a terrible night of wrestling, and obviously going to get a lot of praise for seeing Bryan back in the ring. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it either, so I’m somewhere in between.

WWE Smackdown Live February 20, 2018 Results and Review The Worst Show Keeps Moving

Jinder Won't Be Hindered - Source WWE dot com

The B show of Smackdown Live was in full effect with Roman Drapes covering a lot of empty seats that were in the building. This time around we were going to get a few matches, and talking, which is an awful night if you ask me.

WWE Smackdown Live February 20, 2018 Results and Review

The first thing we get is Aj Styles talking to Renee Young about the big match at Fastlane. I was distracted by Young, whom is very beautiful, and Dean Ambrose is a lucky man. Styles kept talking, and I was focusing on Young before Corbin showed up and said that Styles can’t beat him. That got interrupted and matches were set, which we started with Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler.

Kevin Owens defeated Dolph Ziggler

Why would Ziggler leave and come back only to get buried on this show? I am appalled by the logic of having random music play and distract a wrestler, only to have him get pinned. This was a good match until Sami Zayn ran down and distracted Ziggler. Owens won, and that was the end. Not a bad match, but definitely not great, especially the ending.

Jinder Mahal Cuts a Promo

This wasn’t half bad, and if you didn’t like Jinder Mahal cutting a heel promo, then you can’t see past his championship run. He would get the last laugh here as he cut a promo and then hit his finisher on Bobby Roode. Roode did hit a DDT on Orton, but it was Jinder Mahal that stood tall here. I like him, I don’t know what it is, but he’s pretty cool right now. Jinder Mahal is quite good when he’s cutting people down.

The Riott Squad defeated Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and Naomi

This wasn’t great, but it had a few good moments. I was impressed with how Naomi’s offense worked here, and I liked how Flair was able to work well with the Squad. The person that was lost here was Becky Lynch, which wasn’t as cohesive as her counterparts. The match went well for the bad girls, however, as The Riott Squad would get the win, and it was good to see. Ruby Riott gets the win, and will get a title shot because of it.

The New Day defeated Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable

The winner would get a title shot at Fastlane, and you guessed what happened, The New Day won again. I’m so tired of the New Day, but hey, they can work well with The Usos, so I guess that’s ok. This match was a good fun romp, and it managed to keep my attention, so that’s a positive.

The Bludgeon Brothers defeated Jobbers

This was lame.

Aj Styles defeated Baron Corbin

When you have an Aj Styles match, you know you’re going to get a good push forward. Styles was able to carry Baron Corbin through some great momentum. This match was fast, and it was very good at times, with Corbin getting into a big winning point until Styles threw down one last Phenomenal Forearm and gets the big win!

Overall this was awful. I didn’t like this night of wrestling, it was definitely the B show compared to the Monday Night Raw show. Overall, Styles and Corbin put on a good match, but other than that, Smackdown was definitely the B show if you ask me.

Jinder Mahal Standing Tall - SRC WWE dot com 

Another week, another Smackdown that showed off the same old BS.

WWE Smackdown Live February 18, 2018 Results and Review

The opening match was supposed to be Ziggler and Corbin, but it never started. Owens and Zayn beat up Corbin. But where was Tye Dillinger? Oh well.

Charlotte Flair defeated Sarah Logan

Lots of people thought this was the worst match of the week, but I liked this. Flair was good, and was able to carry Sarah Logan during this match, and it was fun to watch for me. I liked the way it all went down, and eventually it ended with Flair spiking Logan and getting the win. I didn’t hate this match, and though that Flair really did well with Logan, and that finale was great.

Baron Corbin defeated Kevin Owens

This was ok, and Owens lost, so Corbin gets into the main event of Fastlane. I’m bored with this.

Bobby Roode’s Open Challenge

Nothing happened here besides a bunch of people answering and no match happening. Randy Orton and Jinder Mahal came in, and it was Jinder Mahal that ended up getting the biggest pop here with his finisher on everyone.

The New Day defeated Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable

This was boring. The New Day won.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Sami Zayn

This was a boring match for me, and I knew who would win. Sami Zayn loses, and that’s that.

Smackdown is so predictable right now, and yet they have so much talent. Tye Dillinger should be running in to interfere because he lost his title shot, but here we are, no Tye Dillinger yet again. The top 10 rankings are BS too. This whole show felt awful.

WWE Smackdown February 6, 2018 Results and Review The Same Old Thing Continues

Bobby Roode Wins Against Rusev - SRC WWE dot com

People used to think that Smackdown was the better show. I disagree. This is just another WWE program that is kind of boring, and it showed with the way that the show pushed through the same old BS that they are always going through. Don’t believe me? Well, let’s consider what went on this week.

WWE Smackdown Live February 6, 2018 Results and Review

The opening of Smackdown features the Daniel Bryan top 10 list which featured the people that you’d expect, without Rusev. Rusev gets the most attention and fan fare, and yet the WWE doesn’t seem to listen.

Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan open the show together and they are talking about random BS and how Daniel Bryan is living vicariously through Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. Bryan denies it, and we start the show.

Charlotte Flair defeated Liv Morgan

This was an easy match for Flair. Morgan was able to gain the upper hand a few times, but it wasn’t that great. Charlotte Flair fought and won, within a short span. I love Flair, and would love to hang out with her and interview her for this blog. Liv Morgan needs a lot more time to develop, but Flair is grand here.

The Bludgeon Brothers defeated JOBBERS

The Brothers win. Ok.

The Usos Cut A Promo

The USOS are good on the mic, and well, they need more challengers.

Bobby Roode defeated Rusev

It was RUSEV DAY and yet Bobby Roode didn’t care. This was a good back and forth match, with Rusev throwing down some great points, but it was Roode that would get the final win with his Glorious DDT. This was a good television match, mind you, not great, but it had my attention, and Rusev loses clean in the US Title Match.

Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable defeated The Ascension

Not a bad match, but not a great one either. The Ascension did throw in some great overall offense, and found the overall fight to be good, but Gable and Benjamin would not be stopped and they get the win. I like that team and think they should get more chances to get the titles, I would watch them in nearly any type of match. They should get a street fight in with the Usos.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn ended in a No Contest

This match was a brawl from start to finish. Zayn and Owens put each other through many of their classic moves, and it wasn’t half bad. Owens would end up on the losing end at one point and out came Aj Styles to fight Zayn and Owens, and that was that. At the end of the match, it was thrown out and Bryan threw out that the guys would play in Fastlane.

This night wasn’t that good. It was ok. I liked it a little, but it seemed far too short and missed a lot of different people on the roster.

I know I’m late, so I’m going to go ahead and talk about this, and then talk about something bigger after. Here we go, the Smackdown show that was better than Raw.

WWE Smackdown January 9, 2018 Results and Review

Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan were having tension yet again. Boring.

Becky Lynch defeated Ruby Riott

Once again, the invading team gets beaten, so why are they so tough? When the NWO invaded WCW, they didn’t just show up and start mounting losses. They were dominant. That’s how you build a feud, not by losing every week. Riott did ok here, but Lynch was able to get the win with her submission, and that’s the end.

The Bludgeon Brothers defeated The Ascension

The Ascension got buried.

Mojo Rawley defeated Zack Ryder

Another burial folks, Rawley had most of the offense here. Not a great match.

Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable demanded Justice, and got a 2 out of 3 falls match for Ruble instead

Ok. Sure.

Breezango defeated Rusev and Aiden English

This was a fast moving match, and English got pinned. This was not half bad. I didn’t like it, but hey it happens.

Aj Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Randy Orton defeated Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn

This match kept getting restarted. Once for count out, and once for disqualification, and each time Shane McMahon came out and stopped things, then restarted them. It’s hilariously bad, and well they lose.

At the end of the day, all of this is awful. Smackdown should have better matches, but they kept having random talking segments, and boredom. Oh well.

WWE Smackdown Live January 2, 2018 Results and Review The McMahon Hour Continues

Only Image From WWE dot com 

I didn’t want to watch Smackdown. I really didn’t. Why should I? I could have told you everything that was going to happen, and it’s hard to suspend disbelief when the show seems to telegraphed. But you know what, let’s talk about it anyways.

WWE Smackdown Live January 2, 2018 Results and Review

Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan started the show talking, alongside AJ Styles. That’s it. This was boring to me, but you know what, it’s what I expect now. I just expect being bored by the opening elements. It’s dumb, but it happens, just like Southpark said it would happen.

The Usos defeated Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable

This was an ok match, but there was a big problem. You see, the problem was that you will find Benjamin and Gable would win the titles midway through this match. However, both USOS were complaining and the referees, for the first time ever, went to instant replay and figured out that the USOS were doing twin magic! I hate it. I hated this, and it’s stupid. The Usos would win, simple as that.

The Bludgeon Brothers vs. Breezango

This didn’t go very well. The Brothers beat them down before the bell rang, and out came The Ascension, only to get buried. The arena was as quiet as can be for a wrestling event not in Japan.

Xavier Woods defeated Aiden English

This was a fun back and forth match, and while it wasn’t going to be Aiden English’s night, it was fun to see him fight Woods. Rusev is way over, but he wasn’t in the tournament. English pulled off the win and Brooks threw down some great moves, including the big elbow off the top which would get him the big win here. English loses, and that’s the end of this.

Riott Squad defeated Carmella, Natalya, and Tamina

This was boring to me. The Riott Squad already lost. So why are they cutting promos and winning now? I’m honestly at a loss. Afterwards the women on the roster brawled, and that was that. I don’t see the big deal with them, they aren’t dominant at all.

Sami Zayn defeated Aj Styles

This was a terrible match, if you ask me. Styles always does well, but with Owens on the outside, Bryan on the outside, and McMahon on the outside was not great. It’s sad that this story is so terrible. I do like Bryan going heel, but honestly, Styles isn’t getting any favors losing every week, and he loses here thanks to a distraction, yet again.

Anyways, this is a terrible forward progression, and Smackdown is a B show compared to Raw if you ask me. It’s just dumb. It set up a three way match for the Rumble with Aj Styles versus Zayn and Owens. It’s nothing grand, and that’s the end.

Want to know why Smackdown is the B Show?

Well, on WWE.com, you didn’t get any pictures updated from the show, meanwhile Raw had hundreds of photographs. Funny how that is.

WWE Clash of Champions 2017 Results and Review

Charlotte Flair is A Pure Queen - Source WWE dot com 

WWE Clash of Champions is the last pay per view event in 2017 and it was live from Boston. I was planning on going, but got sick, and decided against it. That makes another year that I didn’t go to see WWE live in person, and that is just something that happens, what can I say? Life gets in the way as you get older. The show was smooth, and I only drank one beer through this one, although I did have a lot of pizza, which I shouldn’t have, but it’s the holidays.

WWE Clash of Champions 2017 Results and Review

Mojo Rawley defeated Zack Ryder

This was a brawl where Mojo just beat down Zack Ryder until he pinned him. It was a one sided affair for the most part, and Mojo was hitting absolutely harder than Ryder was. A good starter, and a nice opening for Mojo to get through.

Dolph ZIggler defeated Baron Corbin, and Bobby Roode for the United States Championship

Here you go, a nice round of expertise, with a lot of action, and great back and forth. Roode had a great deal of fighting, Corbin was able to reverse things here and there, but it was Ziggler that was able to pull off a big victory here. Ziggler was on fire throughout, but Roode and Corbin put on a few great moments too. I was surprised how good Corbin looked here, and of course I didn’t call Ziggler winning.

The Usos defeated The New Day, Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin, and Rusev with Aiden English in a Fatal 4-Way

This was an all out brawl with a lot of action, and some impressive elements. Chad Gable did an incredible job, and reminded me of Chris Benoit. He was pulling through some amazing suplexes on everyone! I was impressed, I just can’t say enough about him. The Usos are on fire, and I wish they would fight The Young Bucks, they are that good, and they need more competition.

Charlotte Flair defeated Natalya in a Lumberjack Match

This wasn’t great, it was awkward, and it was boring. Flair did her usual spots, and Natalya had a few moments, but it was far from a great showing for the two. I didn’t like the match, and the lumberjacks didn’t add much to it. Flair wins, and afterwards Natalya starts crying.

Bludgeon Brothers defeated Breezango

This was a fast match, and it was pretty much a burial. There’s not much to say about this.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defeated Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton

This was an awkward, wrestlecrap showcase of tom foolery. Why? Because Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon were the in ring referees! After some screw jobs by Shane, and after a few moments where Bryan was pushed over at one point, a fast count won the match for Owens and Zayn, and that’s that. It was nice while it lasted, but this was just odd to watch. It was like a carnie type of show.

Aj Styles defeated Jinder Mahal in the WWF Championship

Here we go, the title match to end all title matches. This featured the modern day maharaja, and well, Jinder Mahal put on a show beating down Aj Styles for a great push through the match. It wasn’t that bad, it wasn’t terrible, and well it ended with Aj Styles winning big, and that’s it.

The show was ended nicely, and I went to bed. It’s not a memorable thing, I just didn’t care. I just didn’t care, so that’s the end of that. Where was Tye Dillinger? So much for being the perfect 10.

WWE Smackdown December 12, 2017 Results and Review Daniel Bryan Returns

Daniel Bryan Returns To The Ring on Smackdown 2017 - SRC WWE DOT COM

Daniel Bryan has returned to the ring! That’s right folks, you’re reading this correctly, Daniel Bryan was back in the ring for WWE and here’s what went down on this night of Smackdown Live from Cincinnati Ohio.

WWE Smackdown December 12, 2017 Results and Review

The opening of the show had Aj Styles talking to the Singh Brothers. The Brothers came out and said that they were behind Styles and not Jinder Mahal. Styles didn’t believe it, and out came Jinder Mahal! Jinder Mahal and the Singh Brothers tried to put the boots to Styles, and that opened the show. The Modern Day Maharaja still has fuel in the tank, and he may be the next big thing going into Clash of Champions.

Charlotte defeated Ruby Riott via DQ

This is a boring event for the most part. Ruby Riott is from my area so she’s automatically awesome in my book. This match ended when Riott’s cronies came in and helped Ruby out. Out came Naomi to help, and the backstage area cleared out. Oh, Natalya was on color commentary. This isn’t half bad.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Baron Corbin via DQ

I went to take out the trash during this and missed the whole match.

Bludgeon Brothers defeated Colin Delaney and Joe Monroe

The Bludgeon Brothers buried these two jobbers.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn tried to occupy Smackdown. This was a segment that involved no wrestling really. I didn’t care about it.

Rusev and Aiden English defeated The Usos

The Usos have been booked like chumps lately. They lose to Rusev and Aiden English, which is absolutely horrendous. This is a bad showcase for The Usos, but Rusev and Aiden was great here with a fast paced tag element, and good moments. The two are great at what they do, and I had a good deal of fun.

Kevin Owens defeated Shinsuke Nakamura

This wasn’t their best match, but it was decent for a television main event. The real story here is not so much these two, but what happened during the match. The referee got knocked out and so Daniel Bryan took the ref shirt off the ref, and put it on, getting into the ring! That’s right, Daniel Bryan jumped into the ring and the crowd went nuts where he counted the 3 count for Kevin Owens! That’s right, Daniel Bryan is back in the ring!

Oh, one thing that I missed was that Aj Styles got beat down by Jinder Mahal backstage.

Now, Smackdown wasn’t half bad, but it wasn’t great either. It was ok at best, with a lot of filler that made the show seem a lot longer than it was. Not a bad night, but not a great one either.

WWE Smackdown Live November 28, 2017 Results and Review The Dumpster Fire Round Two

src wwe dot com

Well, if Raw felt like 9 hours long, this show felt like at least 4 hours long. So much so that I didn’t want to finish it, but had to because this site is the longest running episodic blog on pro wrestling. There was even a time when this site was bigger than the Jim Ross blog! Those were the salad days, but tonight, let’s discuss yesterday’s Smackdown, which was another dumpster fire of stuff to discuss.

WWE Smackdown Live November 28, 2017 Results and Review

Remember when Shane McMahon said that the Smackdown show wasn’t going to be about the general managers and the McMahon’s? He lied. Here he is starting the show and bringing out Daniel Bryan. The two jib jab about how Zayn and Owens weren’t fired, when they should’ve been fired, and that led them to create a match for later on. They said that the main event would be Kevin Owens against Randy Orton in a NO DQ match, with Sami Zayn barred from ringside. Then the show continued into the wrestling portion, which, well, was not that great.

The New Day defeated Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable

This was a good match, and the New Day is always fun to watch. Big E came out with pancakes and syrup for the Usos, whom were at ringside. That was gross. The match was your standard back and forth, with a lot of reversals, high spots, and more. It wasn’t great, but it didn’t suck. I am tired of the New Day by now, and am just ready for them to stop doing what they are doing and move on to literally anything else. Benjamin and Gable did a great back and forth, fast tag quick match overall, but honestly, this just felt empty at the end. The New Day would get the win with their finish, and that was that.

The Bludgeon Brothers defeated The Hype Bros

This was a burial. After the match, Mojo turned on Zack Ryder and that was that. The end of the Hype Bros, and the continued success of the Bludgeon Brothers.

Aj Styles defeated The Singh Brothers in a Handicap Match

Before the match started, The Modern Day Maharaja, Jinder Mahal came in and beat the socks off Styles. I like Jinder, let’s get more Jinder! Don’t hinder the Jinder! Jinder Mahal throws some wicked offense here, and then lets the Singh Brothers clean up. Aj Styles eventually got his bearings and then knocked out the Singh Brothers and delivered a top rope Styles Clash! This was awesome! Great finish, and that’s that. After the match Jinder Mahal beat up his cronies, and then walked away. Styles may have met his match for the big PPV coming up.

The Riott Squad defeated Charlotte Flair, Natalya, and Naomi

Well, the new girls got in the ring on this show, and was able to knock out the roster’s best women, and that was that. They were ok, faster and younger than the established stars, and won overall. This was entertaining, but it was a quick match, so on that note, it was a highlight, but nothing to write home about I guess.

Kevin Owens defeated Randy Orton in a NO DQ Match

And away we go, a fight. This was a fist fight and a brawl with Kevin Owens getting a huge beat down for the most part. Orton was showcasing that he was mad, and he was hitting Owens with heavy barreled shots until Owens got a kendo stick and started to fight back. The match went up the ramp and out came Sami Zayn and started to beat down the Viper with a chair and caused him to lose the momentum of the match. Owens would get the big win after a frog splash and that was the end of the show!

There you have it. Smackdown was not half bad, but it wasn’t great either. There is a lot of different people on this roster and yet only a few people were showcased. I won’t drill down names, but it’s sad to see such little content for a Smackdown show that was supposed to be a better show than Raw. This sucked. It felt longer than it should be for sure.

WWE Smackdown Live November 21, 2017 Results and Review The McMahon Hour

Smackdown Turned Into A Melee - Source WWE DOT COM

Just like the Raw brand has been dissolved into another showcase of the McMahon show, the second brand, the B brand, Smackdown is now just about the McMahons as well. Shane McMahon started the show and brought down Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. He was going to fire them, but instead of doing that, out came Daniel Bryan, and guess what? The night of Smackdown was a pretty bad show, but not for lack of trying, right? Let’s discuss how this all went down a little further, and see why it’s the B show yet again.

WWE Smackdown Live November 21, 2017 Results and Review

As stated above, Shane McMahon showed up and was going to fire Zayn and Owens for what they did at Survivor Series, interfering in the main event. Daniel Bryan said that they would have to face off against The New Day in a Lumber Jack match, that would feature the entire Smackdown roster. This progressed into a night of lackluster wrestling, with a few highlights, and here we go.

Shelton Benjamin defeated Jey Uso

I never knew that they spelled Jey’s name that way. Whatever. This was a decent match, Shelton is still good in the ring, and the Usos are always fast and in charge. This time around, it was Pay Dirt that would level the playing field, and Jey would go down in defeat. Not a bad match, but did nothing for me other than entertain for a few minutes.

The Bludgeon Brothers defeated The Hype Bros

This was awful. The Bludgeon Brothers look terrible, and they buried The Hype Bros. There’s nothing else to say about this.

Jinder Mahal attacked Aj Styles

AJ Styles came out to the ring to talk, and was jumped by the Singh Brothers and Jinder. This will set up next week’s handicap match between Styles and the Singh Brothers, and set up the main event for Clash of the Champions, or Night of Champions, or whatever it is, with Jinder and Styles going at it for the Smackdown title.

Ruby Riot, Liv Morgan, and Sarah Logan showed up backstage to beat up a bunch of women, but before that they interrupted the Title match between Charlotte Flair and Natalya. They beat everyone up backstage and in the ring and that’s that.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defeated The New Day in a Lumberjack Match

Not a terrible match, but not a great one either. There was a lot of back and forth here, and a good play on lumberjack thing with the roster beating up the duo, and then throwing them back into the ring. The whole thing broke down on an accident, and the roster started brawling, and distracted the New Day long enough for Owens and Zayn to win. Owens then ran away, and Zayn got beat up by the New Day.

Backstage, Owens was told that he would face off against Randy Orton next week, and that was the end of the show.

Not a terrible show, by not a great one either. With so many people on the roster, you would think that we would get better matches, and more focus on the wrestling aspect. It was funny to see Owens and Zayn backstage trying to get people to be on their side, and of course only Rusev and Aiden English had a little bit of a note of sympathy, not bad. Not a night of wrestling you should go out of your way to see, that’s for sure.

WWE Hell In A Cell 2017 Results and Review The Big Leap From Shane

Shane Is Better Than Most of The Roster - Src wwe dot com

WWE Hell In A Cell 2017 Results came through Detroit, Michigan and there was not a lot of fanfare from me at first, but as the night wore on, I really got into the event and was hoping for great things. There were some dry spots, but overall, there were some good moments to discuss, so let’s go forward with the review of last night’s epic pay per view.

WWE Hell In A Cell 2017 Results and Review

Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin defeated The Hype Bros

Well this is the end of the Hype Bros. Gable and Benjamin work like well oiled machines. The Hype Bros were just not in sync and it showed, and they ended up giving up some mistakes and losing this match. Gable and Benjamin are quite good, and it’ll be interesting to see how far they go, before they break up of course.

The Usos defeated The New Day in a Hell in the Cell Tag Title Match

Well, you’re not going to get a better match in the WWE than these guys beating the holy hell out of each other. This was brutal, on all levels. The four guys threw together a great match, and they kept beating the crap out of each other until The Usos took out hand cuffs and beat down Big E and Xavier. They landed stereo USO splashes with a chair on top of a New Day member and boom, they are the new champions. This was a great match, no complaints at all.

Randy Orton defeated Rusev

The burial of Rusev continues. Nothing to see here, kind of a boring match.

Baron Corbin defeated Aj Styles and Tye Dillinger

This was a 5 star match in my view. Dillinger put on a show and really made this match great. Styles was being thrown around a lot, but he threw down some great offense in his defeat, but it was Corbin that was able to get the win after knocking out Styles from the ring, and scooping up Tye Dillinger for his first major title.

Charlotte Flair defeated Natalya VIA DQ

This was bad. Flair ended up getting injured at one point, and it was bad. It was just awful, I can’t attest to this match being anything but boring, and a way to write off Flair from the show.

The Fashion Files

The fashion files are boring, sorry. This was lame.

Jinder Mahal defeated Nakamura

Well, the WWE Champion, the modern day MAJARAJA once again beat Nakamura in this title match. He did it clean too, as the Singh brothers were thrown out of the ringside area, and Jinder threw down his finisher for Nakamura to get buried. So much for sticks and stones eh?

Bobby Roode defeated Dolph Ziggler

A roll up. That’s it, a freakin roll up finish. Ugh.

Kevin Owens defeated Shane McMahon In A Hell In The Cell Match

This was nearly 40 minutes long and it was insane. This was a war. McMahon threw everything but the kitchen sink at Owens, and McMahon even jumped off the cage. The big story here was that Sami Zayn helped save Owens from his doom, as he pulled Owens from getting hit by McMahon. That was that, the end. This was one hell of a match, no pun intended.

WWE Smackdown Live September 13, 2017 Results and Review McMahon Show Featuring Wrestlers

Breaking Kendo Sticks - SRC WWE DOT COM

Well, if you ever have a negative thing to say about Vince McMahon, you can now shut the hell up. I’m going to, and you may want to do the same. Why? Well, we will get to this night of Smackdown, live from Las Vegas. I should’ve gone, but eh, I didn’t get to go this time. I did think about it, though, but it just didn’t happen. So let’s get into this showcase of the immortals, or rather, the boring things that happened and the exciting things that also happened.

Kevin Owens Took over

Kevin Owens wasn’t playing around last week when he said he was going to takeover the show, because he certainly did this time around. He showed up and was taking over from the moment he came out to the ring. He was interrupted by Dolph Ziggler at one point, and he praised him. That of course led to the rest of the show, in which Owens would have backstage interactions, and was claiming to be taking over the show or he was going to sue.

Aj Styles defeated Tye Dillinger in the United States Championship Open Challenge

Did you really think that Tye Dillinger was going to get the win here? He did put up a good fight against Aj Styles, but it wasn’t at all what you would call a 4 star classic. In fact, the match went on slightly less time than I imagined it would have gone, and it even had a run in with Baron Corbin. Corbin was able to knock some sense into the two combatants, and wake up Aj Styles because he definitely got some shots from Dillinger. Dillinger pinned the champ a few times, but he couldn’t get that 3, and of course Styles would turn things around and boom, the calf crusher made Dillinger tap out. What a push for Dillinger? The best loser to come through NXT, eh? What a shame.

Jinder Mahal Goes Racist

Jinder Mahal came out and was super racist with running down Nakamura. I guess that’s cool? I don’t know. I like Jinder Mahal’s shirts, and I did like the Singh brother’s comedy act, but this was a bit much. This didn’t need to be on the show at all.

The New Day defeated The Usos in a Sin City Street Fight for the Smackdown Tag Team Titles

The new Day was supposed to be outgunned here but they weren’t because The Usos came at them like it was Day One Ish! See what I did there? Either way, the New Day put on a showcase, and The Usos beat the holy hell out of Big E and Kofi Kingston. The end was going to be similar to that of Summerslam, but alas, things turned out good for the New Day as they were able to garner a pinfall after a lot of punishment. Chairs, kendo stick breaking, and tables all made this match quite good, and of course, the two teams have great chemistry together. The New Day are the new champions! This wasn’t my favorite street fight of all time, but it was good. I think the Cactus Jack and Max Payne street fight with the Nasty Boys was better.

Natalya defeated Naomi in the Smackdown Women’s Championship Match

This wasn’t a great match. It was rushed, and it seemed like they just didn’t give the women enough time to tell a good story. However, James Ellsworth and Carmella were playing a dom and sub thing, and got in the face of Naomi at one point. It didn’t matter, Natalya won with the sharpshooter and that’s the end of this feud, right?

Dolph Ziggler Made Fun of People

This was dumb.

Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable defeated The Hype Bros.

This was a fast match where Shelton did all the work, and the Hype Bros. just lost. It looked like one of them may be turning heel? I don’t know, this division sucks right now. Shelton looked great though.

Kevin Owens Beat Down Vince McMahon

The highlight of this wasn’t the announcement of the Shane McMahon vs Kevin Owens in a Hell in the Cell Match. Sadly. Owens head butted Vince hardway, and then dropped his weight on him from the top, as well as busting open Vince. That brought out Stephanie McMahon dressed like a power ranger, and that was that. I hope Owens goes to the indies, this is a lame feud to me, and this show was lackluster, with only 1 good match, and the rest being filler. Sadly, this is the B show.

Dolph Ziggler Was Lame On Smackdown - SRC WWE DOT COM

I had a lot of work to do before I could watch this show. I did manage to get my work done, and I sat through what seemed like the longest 2 hours of wrestling. I wanted to bang my head against the wall, and the highlight for me was simple, my other half asked me, “Shane McMahon looks roided out, and he’s getting botox too”, and that’s that. Hilarious.

WWE Smackdown Live September 5, 2017 Results and Review

Shane McMahon and Kevin Owens Fought Each Other.

The opening was supposed to be the women’s match, but instead, Owens came out and started to talk on the mic about Shane McMahon. Well, before that, he said he would be the special guest referee. But that didn’t happen. McMahon and Owens jabbed on the mic, and then the two started brawling. McMahon vs. Owens will occur, and I’m not happy about it. What a waste of talent.

Natalya defeated Carmella

A roll up. That’s what happened after James Ellsworth distracted things by dropping the Money In The Bank Briefcase. That led Carmella to get on the mic and yell at him, and said they were finish. He was left crying. Natalya is good, but in this match, she wasn’t that great. A roll up? Really? Sigh.

Aiden English defeated Sami Zayn

Oh man, another roll up! What a waste of both talents. I loved the Vaudevillains, and when I saw them at NXT Takeover, I thought for sure they would get a big push in the main event, but alas, nope.

Shane McMahon was suspended indefinitely.

This was dumb. McMahon is suspended, oh well. Vince McMahon will be on Smackdown next week, in Las Vegas!

Baron Corbin defeated Tye Dillinger

This was a lousy match. Tye Dillinger didn’t come out with his full entrance. Not only that, Corbin was loose and sloppy with his moves. Aj Styles was on commentary, and I think that Corbin is supposed to be next fighting him for the title, but of course, he is not going to get that match until Dilllinger gets a shot next week. This was a boring match, and the Corbin train is done for me.

Carmella Kissed James Ellsworth

Ellsworth must’ve loved this. I would have killed to be in that position, and that’s rad. Oh and he got slapped. But he also got one hell of a kiss, which is what I wish I could get from Carmella. Just saying.

Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Randy Orton

Throughout the night we had vignettes from the two, and they were awkward and terrible. This match wasn’t half bad, but it also wasn’t great. Jinder was watching on, and he cut a promo backstage. Nakamura is great, but only when he’s with good talent, and Orton was up to par. Orton was phoning it in as usual, and after some back and forth, it was Nakamura that got the big win.

The end, right? Yeah, this was a lousy show. Oh! Oh!

Dolph ZIggler Came Out

He was supposed to be doing a new gimmick. Instead he cut a heel promo and then walked away. It’s time for him to get fired. This was a waste.

In this 2 hour show, we had 2 roll ups, a lousy finish with Dillinger, and Nakamura beating Orton to go on to face Jinder Mahal again. Sigh. Just Sigh, this was a terrible night of wrestling, if you can call it that. At least Raw had some good wrestling. Tonight, it wasn’t grand, it just wasn’t grand at all.
