Hi and welcome back again to the blog for a recap of the latest events on RAW NXT & SmackDown!
RAW was LIVE from the PC & started off with the WWE Champion. Drew McIntyre. He talked about being stomped by Seth Rollins last week. Drew challenged Seth to a match at Money in the Bank. He was attacked by Andrade while Zelina Vega was talking but that plan backfired as the Champion gave Andrade two Claymore kicks. It's McIntyre vs. Garza later on.
Aleister Black defeated Austin Theory to qualify for the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match.
Shayna Baszler defeated Indi Hartwell.
Ricochet & Cedric Alexander defeated Shane Thorne and Brendan Vink.
Nia Jax defeated Kairi Sane.
Seth Rollins accepted Drew McIntyre's challenge to a match for the WWE Championship at Money in the Bank.
Apollo Crews defeated MVP to qualify for the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match.
Liv Morgan defeated Ruby Riott.
Rey Mysterio defeated Murphy to qualify for the Men's Money in Bank ladder match.
Charlotte Flair defeated Kayden Carter.
Andrade defeated Akira Tozawa.
The Street Profits introduced Bianca Belair and joined the commentary team for her match where she defeated Santana Garrett.
Drew McIntyre defeated Angel Garza in the main event.
NXT was also LIVE from the PC with Velveteen Dream in the ring, he was then interrupted by NXT Champion Adam Cole which led to Dream being attacked by Roderick Strong and Bobby Fish until Keith Lee made the save.
Raquel Gonzalez & Dakota Kai defeated Shotzi Blackheart and Tegan Nox.
Velveteen Dream & Keith Lee vs. Adam Cole & Roderick Strong was announced as the main event for later on. It was supposed to be Dream vs. Balor but that was changed.
Jake Atlas defeated Drake Maverick in a Group A match for the Interim NXT Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.
The other match in Group A saw Kushida defeat Tony Nese.
Mia Yim defeated Jessi Kamea. She will face Charlotte next week.
El Hijo Del Fantasma defeated Jack Gallagher in a Group B match in the Interim NXT Cruiserweight Championship Tournament. All of this Group A, Group B stuff reminds me of Champions League & Europa League. There's a random thought for you.
It was announced that Keith Lee will defend his North American Championship against Damian Priest next week.
Priest attacked Lee with a weapon at the start of the tag team match. After the commercial break, this match turned into a 2 on 1 handicap match. Dream vs. Cole & Strong. Dexter Lumis randomly appeared on the ring apron and went on to help Dream. Dream pinned NXT Champion Cole. This win will help Dreams case for a future NXT Championship Match. And that's undisputed....BOOM!
Smackdown was LIVE from the PC. It was time to celebrate Triple H's 25th Anniversary.
The New Day started the show, they were interrupted by the Lucha Houseparty. They were interrupted by Miz & Morrison and the Forgotten Sons. So many interruptions already. This led to a fight and The Forgotten Sons took out the New Day with Miz and Morrison watching in the background.
If you think Forgotten Sons are going to do anything of importance on the main roster, SAnity would like a word with you. No offence to to these teams by the way. I'm just writing what I'm thinking. I could be proved wrong though.
Baron Corbin defeated Drew Gulak to qualify for the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder match.
Sheamus defeated Daniel Vidot.
The Lucha Houseparty defeated Miz and Morrison in a shock win. I think we are seeing the beginning of the end of Miz and Morrison as a tag team.
Lacey Evans defeated Sasha Banks to qualify for the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder match.
There was a recap of the history between Braun Strowman & Bray Wyatt.
Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross successfully defended their tag titles against Carmella & Dana Brooke.
Triple H celebrated his 25th Anniversary and was joined Shawn Michaels and they showed a montage of DX's Greatest Moments, with bloopers included along with his 13 losses at WrestleMania. I didn't realise he had lost that many.
The Game thanked his opponents over the years & received telephone tributes from Stephanie, Ric Flair & Road Dogg. Vince also paid tribute to Triple H's career. The lights literally went out along with the sound of crickets.
Another week of recapping RAW NXT & SmackDown is complete. Hope you enjoyed the read. Until next time, be well, stay safe and stay at home. Thanks for reading.
