Stomping Grounds | Thoughts

Hi and welcome back to this here blog. Here are the results of the matches, including my thoughts about Stomping Grounds. 

Kick off show match 

Cruiserweight Championship: Tony Nese (c) vs. Drew Gulak vs. Akira Tozawa

This was a really good match.

Winner: AND NEW Cruiserweight Champion: Drew Gulak.

Main Card

Raw Women's Championship: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Lacey Evans

The crowd did not like Evans. Chants of: "Lacey sucks" and "You can't wrestle" were heard here. They were fully behind the champion. Lynch won after Evans tapped out. Winner: AND STILL Raw women's champion: Becky Lynch.

The New Day's Big E and Xavier Woods vs. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn This was a decent tag match. There weren't any boring moments which was nice to see. Good to see the heels win here. Winners: Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.

United States Championship: Samoa Joe (c) vs. Ricochet For my predictions, I said this was the best match on the card and it did not disappoint, I wouldn't mind seeing more matches between these two. The one and only hit the 630 splash for the win. Winner: AND NEW United States Champion! Ricochet! 

SmackDown Tag Team Championship: Daniel Bryan & Rowan (c) vs. Heavy Machinery This was a fun match. Ending with Bryan rolling up Tucker for the win. Winners: AND STILL SmackDown Tag Team Champions. Daniel Bryan and Rowan. 

SmackDown Women's Championship: Bayley (c) vs. Alexa Bliss The Champion retained the title after Nikki Cross cost Alexa the match (as predicted) Winner: AND STILL SmackDown Women's Champion. Bayley. 

Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre 

During the match, Shane hit the Coast to Coast on Roman. McIntyre failed to pick up the win as he covered Roman for the near fall. Towards the end of this match, Shane tried to intervene again but failed, as The Big Dog picked the win. Winner: Roman Reigns.

So..Shane can win a match vs Roman but Drew can't? Anyway. Let's move on to the next match shall we?

WWE Championship: Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler (Steel Cage Match) Kofi won after jumping over Dolph on to the floor. He then celebrated with Big E and Xavier Woods after the match. Winner: AND STILL WWE Champion. Kofi Kingston. 

During a backstage interview. Shane announced he and Drew will face Roman in a 2 on 1 handicap match on RAW. You thought we were all done watching this storyline? Haha! Think again! Sorry...

Universal Championship: Seth Rollins (c) vs. Baron Corbin Prior to the match, Corbin announced Lacey Evans as the special referee. The crowd sh*t all over this match, they chanted, "this is stupid" and other things. 

Midway through, Evans changed the rules of the match to suit the challenger. She then slapped Rollins and hit a low blow. Becky ran out and went after the referee. 

Back in the ring, there was a new referee and Rollins won via the Stomp. Winner: AND STILL Universal Champion. Seth Rollins. Becky and Seth celebrated in the ring and walked out together as Stomping Grounds went off the air. 

This show was unnecessary, however, the first half was really good, the second? not so much. It declined towards the end. Extreme Rules is next month. Until then, thanks for reading.
