Let's Talk | WrestleMania 36 matches | Part 2

What's good? What is going on? As always, thanks for checking out the blog as per. It's time for part 2 of Let's Talk | WrestleMania 36 matches.

It seems fairly obvious with the direction they are taking AJ in for a 'Mania match is against a legendary opponent, he named drop a list of names on RAW. Out of the many he ran through. Its going to be the Phenomenal One vs. The Phenom. It'll make great marketing in regards to merchandise sales etc. Plus these two have never faced each other so that'a new.

In regards to who John Cena will face? there has been reports surfacing online that he has creative licence to do as he wants. As far as opponents go? I can think of three possible ones.

1.  Elias. He has had interactions at past 'Mania's, it would make sense if they finally had a match. 

2.  R-Truth.This would be cool considering Truth calls Cena his idol on tv:

3. Velveteen Dream. This has been talked about for a long time. You could call this one a "dream" match. Okay that wasn't pun-ny.

Part 2 is complete. Hope you enjoyed this one. By the way, there will not be a SuperShowDown predictions or Review. Normal service will be resumed for the Elimination Chamber. Thanks for reading!

Part 3 of Let's Talk | WrestleMania matches will be available soon.....

NXT TakeOver Portland | Review-ish

Hi and welcome back to the blog. If you're new here, then hello and welcome. Hope you enjoy the NXT TakeOver Review-ish. Let's begin.

NXT North American Championship Match 

Keith Lee (c) vs. Dominik Dijakovic

A great match to kick off the show. These two always have nice matches. This was their best one yet. Keith Lee, as I mentioned in the predictions, just won the title so he wasn't losing here. Winner: And STILL NXT North American Champion. Keith Lee.

Dakota Kai vs. Tegan Nox (Street fight)

Dakota got her win back here thanks to interference from Raquel Gonzalez. Winner: Dakota Kai. It's 1-1 in regards to wins. Surely we are heading towards the decider at the next TakeOver. Should that be the case? I hope it's a steel cage match.

Finn Balor vs. Johnny Gargano

Fun match. With the correct outcome. This feud looks to be over for now. More on that shortly. Winner: Finn Balor.

NXT Women's Championship Match 

Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Bianca Belair

Winner: And STILL NXT Women's Champion. Rhea Ripley.

After the match, Charlotte attacked Rhea and said she will see the Women's Champion at WrestleMania. Then proceeded to takeout Bianca as payback for recent events on NXT TV. I see Bianca vs. Charlotte on RAW in the near future. 100%.

NXT Tag Team Championship Match 

Undisputed Era (c) vs. The BroserWeights

As I and many people predicted. The Undisputed Era lost more gold here. A match of the night candidate? Sure! Winners: AND NEW NXT Tag Team Champions! The BroserWeights.

NXT Championship Match 

Adam Cole (c) vs. Tommaso Ciampa

I gotta say that I didn't like that Ciampa sold his neck injury outside of the ring and then acted like nothing happened when he got in the ring during the closing moments of the match. This is where they lost my interest.

Speaking of closing moments of this match, Johnny Gargano was at ringside and turned heel by striking Ciampa with the title and Cole picked up the win. The U.E still has gold in the faction. And that's undisputed......BOOM! 

Winner:  And STILL NXT Champion. Adam Cole (Bay-Bay)

It'll be interesting to see how Gargano does in the heel role, with Ciampa obviously being the face in this continued rivalry. Can I be honest with you? I liked this storyline back to when Gargano was the face and Ciampa was heel. For me, he was the best heel in all of wrestling before he got injured.

Who will challenge Adam Cole next? I think it's either going to be Velveteen Dream or Finn Balor vs. the champion in one on one matches, or in a triple threat match at the next TakeOver. We will see.

Another NXT TakeOver is now in the books. It was probably the best one I've seen in recent memory. There weren't any dull moments at all. WWE SuperShowDown is on the horizon. I'll be predicting the match card closer to the time and bringing out more content on here, such as: talking about WrestleMania 36 matches, to name one example for you. In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed reading my thoughts. Until next time, thanks for reading.

NXT TakeOver Portland | Predictions

NXT has now taken over this blog and will TakeOver Portland on Sunday night. It promises to be a great show to watch judging by the match card. I have included my predictions as you can see. 

Dakota Kai vs. Tegan Nox (Street fight)

I believe that Tegan won a quick match on NXT TV so it's logic that Dakota gets the win here. 50-50 and all. Predicted Winner: Dakota Kai

NXT Tag Team Championship Match - Undisputed Era (c) vs. The BroserWeights 

The U.E have already lost the North American Championship. Could tag team gold follow suit? I think so. Predicted Winners: The BroserWeights. 

NXT North American Championship Match - Keith Lee (c) vs. Dominik Dijakovic 

Keith Lee just won the North American Championship from Roderick Strong so he isn't losing here. Predicted Winner: Keith Lee.

Finn Balor vs. Johnny Gargano

This is going to be a very good match. Potential show stealer. 

Predicted Winner: Finn Balor.

NXT Women's Championship Match - Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Bianca Belair

I see this match ending with a "unintentional assist" by Charlotte Flair thus helping the champion remain. I sound like Yoda here don't I? Predicted Winner: Rhea Ripley. 

I'm not usually a fan of triple threat matches to be honest, however, I want to see Bianca be inserted in the WrestleMania match because she deserves that opportunity. 

NXT Championship Match - Adam Cole (c) vs. Tommaso Ciampa 

If my predictions are anything to go by, I have Adam Cole as the only champion in the U.E going in this match. I believe he will remain after this match too. "Goldie" isn't coming back to Ciampa. Not this Sunday anyway. Predicted Winner: Adam Cole (Bay-Bay)

That is it for the predictions, Very much looking forward to watching the event. Enjoy if you're watching it too. Until next time. Thanks for reading. 

Let's Talk | WrestleMania 36 matches | Part 1

The grandest stage of them all is a while away but that will not stop speculation as to which matches will be made for the event.

Having said that. It's clear where they are heading with Drew McIntyre. He will challenge "the Beast" Brock at Mania. Before that happens, Lesnar will defend the WWE Championship against Ricochet at Super Showdown.

Another match that seems close to being made official is: Charlotte vs. Rhea Ripley for the NXT title in April. That match will no doubt put Ripley on the map and continue her push in WWE. Whether she wins or loses. The EST of NXT Bianca Belair will attempt to change all the plans, as she has a NXT women's title shot at Takeover in a couple of weeks. 

So much content arriving on this here blog in the lead up to WrestleMania. Who knows? There could be an NXT Takeover on here. Stay tuned. Part 2 is soon.

Winner - Charlotte Flair - Lastly eliminating Shayna Baszler.

I thought this was a fun Rumble match, nice to see NXT talent get involved here in front of a huge crowd, I was impressed with Bianca Belair the most in this match even though she didn't win. She had a great perfomance. It's only a matter of time till she is on the Raw or SmackDown roster. Charlotte winning this match cements her legacy in WWE. She will 100% challenge Becky for 'Mania. I think.........

SmackDown Women's Championship Match - Bayley (c) defeated Lacey Evans

Who will challenge Bayley next? Surely they are going to book Bayley vs. Sasha for April...right? Sasha being the heel of course.

Universal Championship Match - "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt (c) defeated Daniel Bryan (Strap match) Good match. Bryan put up a hell of a fight, he was never winning here. Let's move on.

Raw Women's Championship Match - Becky Lynch (c) vs. Asuka

As we all predicted going in to this, Becky was always going to get her win back from last years loss at this here event. Debt collected by "The Man"

Winner - Drew McIntyre - Lastly eliminating Roman Reigns.

I said on the predictions that this is Drew's time to become champion. He deserves to be holding the title. Who will he challenge at 'Mania? It's got to Brock. After all he did eliminate the Beast en route to winning the Rumble. As far as the picture for the Universal title goes, I wouldn't be shocked to see a triple threat in April: Fiend vs. Bryan vs. Reigns. Lets see how things play out on TV. That's it for the review-ish. Thanks for reading.

WWE Royal Rumble 2020 | Predictions

Hi and welcome to the Royal Rumble predictions blog. The first pay-per-view of the year is fast approaching, It's also the pay-per-view debut broadcast for BT Sport here in the U.K. Lets get to the match predictions in no particular order. Here we go! 

United States Championship Match - Andrade (c) vs. Humberto Carrillo

Predicted Winner: Andrade.

Sheamus vs. Shorty G

Predicted Winner: Sheamus.

Roman Reigns vs. King Corbin (Falls count anywhere match)

I have a sense this feud will (unfortunately) carry on to Elimination Chamber and end there. Predicted Winner: King Corbin.

SmackDown Women's Championship Match - Bayley (c) vs. Lacey Evans

I’m undecided as to who wins this match, I sense this will end in a disqualification after Sasha Banks gets involved. Predicted Winner: Lacey Evans (by disqualification)

Raw Women's Championship Match - Becky Lynch (c) vs. Asuka

Becky will get her “revenge” from the loss at last years Rumble event.

Winner: And still Raw Women’s Champion: Becky Lynch.

Universal Championship Match - "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt (c) vs. Daniel Bryan (Strap match) Could we see a new champion here? Sure. I have a feeling the Universal Championship match at ‘Mania could be a triple threat match (more on that later down the line) in the meantime, this is my prediction. Predicted Winner: And still Universal Champion: “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt.

For the two Rumble matches, I have chosen three potential winners each. Here we go!

Women's Royal Rumble Match

Pick 1: Ronda Rousey – She lost at WrestleMania last year and hasn’t been seen on on WWE TV since. This is a great time for her to return.

Pick 2: Shayna Baszler – Its time for her to be called up or called down to the main roster, depending on how you look at it. Shayna, like Ronda, has unfinished business with “The Man” after she was attacked during the closing stages at Survivor Series.

3^rd and final pick: Nia Jax – Continuing the Becky Lynch theme here. Nia winning the rumble and challenging the current Raw Women’s champion would be great as it continues the story from when Nia accidentally broke Becky’s nose prior to 2018 Survivor Series. if you remember that far back. Also, the promos and match would be entertaining to watch that’s for damn sure.

All three women are strong candidates to win, very much looking forward to seeing what happens.

Men's Royal Rumble Match

Pick 1: Roman Reigns – Roman hasn’t been anywhere near the Universal title picture since he returned from illness. The journey to the top could begin with a win here, which I see happening to be honest.

  

Pick 2: Drew Mcintyre – If Roman doesn’t win then I hope Drew does. The guy has been pushed, then de-pushed and so on. Now is the time, starting with a big win here. He deserves to be holding the title right now. 100%!

3^rd and final pick: Kofi Kingston – I picked Kofi because he is yet to have a rematch for the title, the way to set that up is to have him eliminate Brock in the match as part of a redemption story, the scenes would be incredible. The crowd would love it. There’s your WWE title match at WrestleMania right there.

As you may know, The Royal Rumble event is my favourite on the WWE calender. I will be watching to see what happens. Enjoy the show. I’ll be back with the review-ish during the midweek. We are now on the road to WrestleMania. Thanks for reading.

TLC 2019 | Review-ish

Hi and welcome to the blog. Here are the results for TLC 2019. Enjoy the read.

Kick off Show Match

Humberto Carrillo defeated Andrade 

After the match, it looked like they are teasing a split between Andrade and Zelina Vega.  

In the future, I wanna see a couples match: Andrade and Charlotte Flair vs. Aleister Black and Zelina Vega.

Main Card 

SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match! New Day (c) defeated The Revival

Successful defence here for Kofi and Big E here. Who will challenge them next? I would love to see Chad Gable (I'm not gonna call him Shorty G) and Mustafa Ali be named number one contenders. That would be a great match.

Aleister Black defeated Buddy Murphy

Very competitive match, this feud has now run it's course. Let's move on.

Raw Tag Team Championship Match! Viking Raiders vs. The O.C 

No Winner. Match ended in a double count-out. 

King Corbin defeated Roman Reigns (Tables, Ladders and Chairs) 

It looks like this feud is going to continue. Unfortunately. I don't care. 

Bray Wyatt defeated The Miz 

Daniel Bryan returned and attacked Bray after the match with a new look that was identical to when Miz was his mentor from the old NXT days. 

Bobby Lashley defeated Rusev

Much like the Corbin Reigns feud I don't care. No disrespect to the people involved in this feud. 

Women's Tag Team Championship Match! Kabuki Warriors (c) defeated Becky Lynch & Charlotte Flair (Tables, Ladders, Chairs) It will be interesting to see who will challenge Asuka and Kairi next. I'm guessing it will be Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss. 

That's it for the review-ish. In all honesty, I thought it was an okay show at best. The Royal Rumble is next on the PPV calendar. Looking forward to watching that like I'm sure you are too. Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year. See you in 2020 for more predictions and reviews. Thanks for reading.
