Survivor Series WAR GAMES | The Last Main Roster Premium Live Event Of This Year

Welcome back to the blog, Survivor Series was LIVE from TD Garden in Boston, the question is did it deliver? keep on reading to find out. 

Match Results
Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch, Asuka, Alexa Bliss & Mia Yim defeated Bayley. Dakota Kai, Iyo Sky, Nikki Cross & Rhea Ripley to win the Women's WarGames Match. 

AJ Styles defeated Finn Balor.

Ronda Rousey defeated Shotzi to remain SmackDown Women's Champion. 

Austin Theory defeated Bobby Lashley and Seth Rollins to become the NEW United States Champion. 

Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, Jimmy & Jey Uso & Sami Zayn defeated Sheamus, Butch, Ridge Holland, Drew McIntyre & Kevin Owens to win the Men's WarGames Match.


In the words of LA Knight, let me talk to ya, shoutout to everyone involved in the Women's WarGames match that began the Premium Live Event, there were so many great moments here, it would be unfair to leave some out. Becky hit the leg drop from the top of the cage to Iyo and Dakota through the table to win the match for her team.

Finn Balor vs. AJ Styles, in my opinion, is a WrestleMania worthy main event, the expectations here were that we would see The OC and Judgement Day at ringside, which is exactly what we got, this feud is surely going to continue into the New Year, it's nearly December already? wow. where has the time gone? AJ hit Finn with the Phenomenal Forearm for the win. 

Ronda Rousey & Shotzi had a lot of unfair criticism on social media in regards to their Championship match up, they are both good wrestlers, unfortunately the crowd were not interested at all, it's almost as if they were expecting a return, that's their own fault, one hundred percent. We are yet to see Ronda vs. Shayna, it may be too late for that to happen considering they are both heels and suit that role. 

The triple threat was class, credit to Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley and Austin Theory, they had great ring chemistry, the fifteen minute match went by quickly, Congratulations to Theory on becoming the two time U.S champion, this new behaviour he is showing is paying off, by the way, we all know who his WrestleMania opponent is, we just can't see him yet. 

The Men's WarGames between the Bloodline and Brawling Brutes and Drew McIntyre was, as Sheamus would say, a banger, one of the stories going into this was whether Sami was loyal to Roman, Solo Sikoa & The Usos, there were ongoing tensions between him and Jey in the cage, they eventually put their differences aside & got a fantastic reaction from the crowd, when they hugged after Jey pinned Kevin Owens with the splash. 

Sami remains a member of the Bloodline. For now.....

In response to the question that was asked at the start, did this event deliver? the answer was yes, if I had to give this a rating? it would be a magnificent 7 out of 10.

Friday Night SmackDown Before Survivor Series & Predictions

Welcome back to the blog. let's talk about what happened on SmackDown, the Survivor Series go-home show, which took place from Providence, Rhode Island. 

After so much speculation, Becky Lynch was revealed as the Fifth and final member of Bianca Belair's team, The Man will be joining The EST, Alexa, Asuka and Mia Yim to take on Bayley, Dakota Kai, Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley for WarGames, this lead to a fight between the teams, they more or less continued where they left from RAW.

Santos Escobar defeated Butch to advance to the SmackDown World Cup Final. Butch was distracted by the backstage brawl between The Brawling Brutes & The Bloodline that was shown on the titantron in the closing stages of this match. 

We saw a recap of last week's events about the LA Knight, Bray Wyatt storyline prior to Wyatt's in ring promo, he name dropped the Fiend, which got a nice reaction from the thousands in attendance, he said he did not attack LA Knight, we saw a vignette about his past, ending with Uncle Howdy's face, this led to LA Knight's response backstage, we saw the usual Wyatt cryptic message appear on screen. 

The Viking Raiders w/Valhalla (aka Sarah Logan) defeated Top Dolla and Ashante "Thee" Adonis of Hit Row. B-Fab was in their corner. 

We saw footage of Dominik attacking Rey at his home as part of the Digital Exclusive.

Ricochet defeated Braun Strowman in the second SmackDown World Cup Semi Final. Strowman was distracted by Gunther and Imperium, before he was rolled up. Braun congratulated Ricochet after their fight with Imperium. 

The SmackDown World Cup Final is set. Santos Escobar vs. Ricochet, which will take place next week. Check out the match when it airs on TV to find out who wins.

Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens talked backstage, Jimmy Uso heard the conversation, who then confronted Zayn. It will be interesting to see who turns against who during WarGames, if we get to that scenario. 

Becky talked to Kayla Braxton about getting revenge on Damage CTRL after being out for months with injury.

Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey defeated Raquel Rodriguez and Shotzi. Shayna and Ronda attacked their opponents backstage prior to the match.

In the main event, Drew McIntyre and Sheamus defeated The Usos to get the advantage for their team at WarGames. 

It is now time to pick the winners of the matches at Survivor Series. 
Women's WarGames Match Winners: Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Mia Yim & Becky Lynch.

Finn Balor. 

Ronda Rousey to remain SmackDown Women's Champion. 

Seth Rollins to remain United States Champion.

Men's WarGames Match Winners: Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, Sami Zayn & The Usos.

WWE RAW Before Survivor Series

Welcome back to the blog. The build up to Survivor Series continues. RAW was LIVE from Albany, New York. Let's talk about the storylines that continued to develop during this episode.  

Kevin Owens kicked off the show and received a nice reaction from the crowd. He confirmed he will be part of the WarGames Match, he hinted at targeting Roman Reigns' Championships afterwards. The Brawling Brutes and Drew McIntyre joined KO in the ring to talk about Survivor Series and much more.

Drew and Sheamus will take on The Usos in an Advantage Match this Friday Night on SmackDown.

Judgement Day interrupted the segment, leading to a match between the two teams. The Brawling Brutes defeated The Judgement Day. Sheamus hit the Brogue Kick on Dominik for the win.

Kevin Owens stunned Finn Balor.

Johnny Gargano (with a remixed version of his theme song) was ready to take on The Miz, who had other ideas, Gargano's new opponent was the Nigerian Giant Omos.

Omos defeated Johnny Gargano.

The United States Championship will be on the line at Survivor Series in a triple threat. Seth Rollins versus Austin Theory versus Bobby Lashley. It will be a great match for sure. 

Seth Rollins had an exclusive interview with Corey Graves via satellite, Austin Theory had a response prior to his win vs. Mustafa Ali. Bobby Lashley confronted Austin Theory  after the commercial break. The two ended up fighting each other until Theory ran away, Lashley took his anger out on Mustafa Ali by applying the Hurt Lock.

Elias & Matt Riddle defeated Alpha Academy.

Drew McIntyre defeated Baron Corbin after Corbin and JBL were distracted by Akira Tozawa at ringside.

The O.C were interviewed by Cathy Kelley backstage before they interrupted by the Judgement Day, the fight escalated into the parking lot. This had NXT Black and Gold vibes to it.

Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss and Asuka were in the ring, The EST said the final member of the Survivor Series team would be revealed on Friday Night SmackDown before they face Damage CTRL, Nikki Cross and Rhea Ripley, this was met with boos from the crowd, they'll have to tune in to find out who it will be with the rest of us.

Rhea Ripley defeated Asuka to give the advantage to her team at WarGames, the teams then got into a scrap before the show went off the air.

Be sure to check out the upcoming schedule, as well as archived content here on the website, the content continues for the SmackDown go-home show, until then, take care and thanks for reading.

Friday Night SmackDown | Best Moments & Money In The Bank Cash In Thoughts

Welcome back to the blog, it is now time to look back at the Best Moments on SmackDown, it certainly was an eventful episode. 

The Usos defeated The New Day to remain Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, Jimmy and Jey are now the longest reigning Tag Team Champions in WWE History.

The SmackDown World Cup began and took place throughout the night, the winner will receive a trophy and a title opportunity to face Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship in a few weeks time. In the first round, Santos Escobar defeated Shinsuke Nakamura and Braun Strowman defeated Jinder Mahal. 

The First Round matches continue with Mustafa vs. Ricochet & Butch vs. Sami Zayn, next week on SmackDown. 

LA Knight's backstage interview was interrupted by a Bray Wyatt vignette on the monitor, Wyatt then appeared, talked to Knight, headbutted him and walked away. 

Shotzi won the Six Pack Challenge, she will challenge Ronda Rousey for the SmackDown Women's Championship at Survivor Series WarGames.

Valhalla is here! for Hit Row & Legado Del Fantasma. The Viking Raiders and Sarah Logan returned before the match between Zelina Vega and B-Fab could even begin. 

The main event segment with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline was interrupted by Butch and Ridge Holland and a returning Sheamus. Drew McIntyre entered the fight between the two factions, it appears we may see The Bloodline vs. The Brawling Brutes and Drew at Survivor Series WarGames. which will no doubt be......A BANGER. 

That was SmackDown, now let's quickly talk about what happened in the closing stages of Monday Night RAW where Austin Theory chose to cash in on Seth Rollins for the United States Championship, he ultimately failed, social media was crazy after the show went off the air with mixed reactions, usually Money in the Bank holders go for the main titles, this seemed like something you would see on a 2K game on Universe Mode or something to that effect, in all honesty, I was going to say much more than this, however, a few days have passed since then and calmness has since prevailed, let's see where this goes this Monday on RAW.

Clash at the Castle | Review-ish | Roman's Reign Continues | Broken Dreams for Drew McIntyre & More

After so much anticipation, Clash at the Castle, the U.K's first Major Pay-Per-View in thirty years, is now in the books, history has been made, here is a look back at the evening's action from the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. 

On the kick off show, Madcap Moss and Street Profits defeated Alpha Academy and Mr. Money In The Bank. Theory, in what was an outstanding match.

Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss & Asuka vs. Bayley, Dakota Kai & Iyo Sky
This was an excellent match, great chemistry was shown by everyone involved, Bayley pinned Bianca to get the win for her team, she will no doubt use this victory to make a point that she deserves a RAW Women's Championship opportunity. 

Intercontinental Championship Match
Gunther (c) vs. Sheamus
Sheamus walked out to a great crowd reception, Imperium were re-united before the bell rang,
this was brutal to watch and it lived up to expectations. Gunther hit Sheamus with a fierce clothesline for victory. Sheamus received a standing ovation from the crowd, a great moment which was very well deserved.

SmackDown Women's Championship Match
Liv Morgan (c) vs. Shayna Baszler
Many were expecting to see Shayna win, however, Liv, with an injured arm, overcame the odds and proved the doubters wrong by hitting the Oblivion for the win to remain Champion.

Edge & Rey Mysterio & Damian Priest & Finn Balor
The crowd singing Edge's theme song when he and Rey were in the ring was a beautiful moment, let's talk about what happened towards the end of the match, Finn Balor was met with a 619 from Rey and spear from Edge, leading to victory for the good guys, there was a thought prior to this match, would Dominik join the Judgement Day? The answer was not clear, as he turned against Rey and Edge during their victory celebrations but walked to the back on his own.  

The crowd attendance was 62,296 announced by Samantha Irvin. 

Seth Riddle vs. Matt Riddle
The co-main event was an absolute classic, Rollins used Riddles emotions against him to pick up the win via the Stomp, it will be interesting to see if they run this back for one more match at Extreme Rules.

Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Match
Roman Reigns (c) vs. Drew McIntyre
Tyson Fury, Karrion Kross and Scarlett were ringside for the main event. Broken Dreams was played prior to Drew's walk to the ring. there were "Oh Drew McIntyre" chants, Roman's entrance was epic as always. he was met with "who are ya chants" the crowd was in full support for Drew, Roman looked confused and surprised by this, towards the end of the match, the referee was knocked down after Drew hit the Claymore to Roman, Theory's cash in was denied by Tyson Fury, Jimmy and Jey Uso's brother Solo Sikoa caused interference which led to Roman spearing Drew to remain champion. Acknowledge Him. 

Tyson Fury joined Drew in the ring to sing some songs before the show went off the air, it is interesting to note there were no new champions crowned, the show itself was absolutely magnificent, it was WrestleMania-esq, hopefully the WWE will hold another Pay-Per-View/Premium Live Event in the near future here in the U.K

Thanks for reading, be sure to check back here for more content in the very near future. 

Clash at the Castle Predictions | The First U.K Major Event For Thirty Years | History Will Be Made

Welcome back to the blog and if you are new, hello and welcome, here we talk about all things WWE, be sure to check out the archives for past content, in the words of Chad Gable. A Thank Yewwww! 

At the time of writing, so far six matches have been announced, there may be one or two additions to the card, we shall see, let's begin the predictions.

Intercontinental Championship Match 
Gunther (c) vs. Sheamus
Not sure where this will be positioned on the line up, however, it will be a great way for the event to start, particularly with the crowd that will be in attendance, expect to see a tough, physical contest which will probably go on for twenty five to thirty minutes. Sheamus has never won the Intercontinental Championship in his career, wrestling is often remembered by moments, this is one of them for sure, Gunther will try to stop that from happening. Predicted Winner: and NEW Intercontinental Champion. Sheamus.

Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss & Asuka vs. Bayley, Dakota Kai & Iyo Sky
Six fantastic competitors in one match, Bayley, Dakota, Iyo Sky returned at SummerSlam recently as you know, the logic is they will win, but you never know, it will be interesting to see who takes the losing pinfall out of Bianca, Alexa or Asuka here. Predicted Winners: Bayley, Dakota Kai & Iyo Sky.

Edge & Rey Mysterio vs. Damian Priest & Finn Balor 
There is some intrigue to this tag match, particularly of the role Dominik will play, the belief is he will cost Edge and his father Rey here and align with The Judgement Day. Predicted Winners: Damian Priest & Finn Balor. 

Seth Rollins vs. Matt Riddle
No disrespect to the other matches, this will steal the show, the build has been immense, Riddle showing his serious side when he talks to Rollins has been great to see as it tells us fans, yes Riddle is a guy that loves to have fun in comedy segments, he is also able to switch moods, Seth will be looking to get the last laugh here, no pun intended. Predicted Winner: Matt Riddle.

SmackDown Women's Championship Match
Liv Morgan (c) vs. Shayna Baszler
Ever since Liv defeated Ronda at SummerSlam, some fans have changed their opinion about her as champion, something Becky predicted would happen in a promo months ago, Shayna is exactly where she should be, competing for titles, the last singles title she held was the NXT Women's Championship, a reign lasting a total of 416 days, after much thought and consideration, the prediction is for Liv to sneak her way to victory and surprise Shayna. Predicted Winner: and still SmackDown Women's Champion. Liv Morgan. 

if the prediction is true and Liv remains champion, it's finally time to see Shayna vs, Ronda in a feud with a match stipulation that has something to do with Mixed Martial Arts. 

Undisputed Universal WWE Championship Match
Roman Reigns (c) vs. Drew McIntyre
There have been hints from Drew that his old theme song Broken Dreams could be making a return, if that is the case, what a moment it will be, the reaction from the crowd will be amazing, social media will be buzzing also. Romans Reign as champion has lasted two years, an incredible achievement from the Tribal Chief, in terms of how the match will end? the expectation is for someone to return and cost Roman the title, leading to Drew hitting the Claymore for the 1,2,3. Predicted Winner: and NEW Undisputed Universal WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre.

The prediction does not end there, while Drew is celebrating with the crowd, with fireworks included, he ends up getting attacked, resulting in Theory successfully cashing in Money in the Bank to become the new Champion, resulting in Broken Dreams for Drew McIntyre.

No matter what happens at Clash at the Castle. History WILL be made!  

SummerSlam 2022 | Review-ish | One Of The Greatest SummerSlams Of All Time

Well, well, well, that was a party of the summer to remember, am I right? there is so much talk about so let's not waste any more time. 

Bianca Belair successfully defended the RAW Women's Championship against Becky Lynch. both had great technical skills and strength throughout, the crowd absolutely loved what was an outstanding match, the EST hit the Spsnish Fly into the KOD for the 1,2,3 (hey that rhymes)

Afterwards, Becky showed true class by congratulating Bianca and while the Champion was celebrating, Bayley's music hit, she walked towards the ring, followed by Dakota Kai and Io Shirai. Unbelievable scenes, the three confronted Bianca who was then joined by Becky. Io, Dakota and Bayley then left the ring. What a start to the Premium Live Event.

Respect to Logan Paul for putting on a great performance in his match against the Miz, the key moments of this match were him hitting a frog splash from the top rope to the announce table on Miz, the celebrity also hit Miz's own move on him, the Skull Crushing Finale, to pick up the win, it is worth noting AJ Styles ran in midway through this match to remove Ciampa from ringside, this could be a possible set up for a match on RAW.

The next match of the night was for the United States Championship, Theory attacked Bobby Lashley with the Money In The Bank case before the bell rang to try and get an advantage, however, his efforts were thwarted as Bobby fought back and applied the HurtLock, resulting in Theory tapping out quickly, something I and many others thought that would happen.

Would this be the last time we would see Theory here at SummerSlam? 

Edge returned with a Brood type entrance to help Rey and Dominik Mysterio defeat The Judgement Day's Damian Priest and Finn Balor, this is revenge for the Rated R Superstar since he was removed from the group all those weeks ago.

Happy Corbin was making his way to the ring until he was interrupted by a choir singing Pat McAfee's theme song, the Friday Night SmackDown commentator went on to pick up the win.

Drew McIntyre made an appearance to talk about his future title match at Clash at the Castle.

The Usos and Street Profits continued from where they left off from Money In The Bank, Jimmy and Jey hit the 1-D on Angelo Dawkins to remain Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions. What does the future hold for the Street Profits? We shall see.

Riddle ran out to the ring and called out Seth Rollins, who answered the challenge, the two brawled until Rollins hit Riddles neck with the Stomp in the middle of the ring. This was a very impromptu segment.

The SmackDown Women's Championship Match between Liv Morgan and Ronda Rousey ended in somewhat controversial fashion after Liv appeared to tap while she was put in a armbar, however, the referee missed it and counted to three, Liv is still the Champion.

Ronda took out her anger on Liv and the referee, these actions will probably result in Ronda getting a rematch or suspended as part of the storyline.

Kane announced the crowd attendance total.

It was now time for the main event, a Last Man Standing Match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship  Brock drove a tractor (yes you read that correctly) while Roman was waiting in the ring, Brock even stood on the tractor and introduced himself, they then fought all over the stadium,  Lesnar put Reigns in the front loader of the tractor and dumped him in the ring, which was very creative.

Speaking of creative, Brock drove the tractor into the ring, the impact threw Roman out of the ring, Jimmy and Jey tried to help their cousin until Brock took them out, he also hit Paul Heyman with an F5 through the announce table, Reigns speared Brock and then Theory ran out with an attempt to cash in, Brock hit the F5 on Theory to stop proceedings, this was pure carnage.   

Brock continued to beat the ten count until The Usos and Reigns buried Brock with parts of the announce table, ring steps and more to ensure the ten count was unanswered, Roman Reigns is still the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. 

What a main event that was, what an event this was, be sure to check back here for more content, until next time, thanks for reading.

SummerSlam 2022 | Predictions | Will The Street Profilts Be The Ones To Defeat The Usos? Will Roman's Reign End? Theory Cash In? & More

Welcome back to the blog, it has been a while since we have made match predictions, SummerSlam is sure to be an interesting show which is going to be broadcast LIVE from Nashville Tennessee, let's begin. 

Logan Paul vs. Miz

The build to this match began at WrestleMania, where Miz hit the Skull Crushing Finale on Logan Paul, after their tag team victory against The Mysterios, expecting a win for the YouTube Celebrity. Predicted Winner: Logan Paul.

RAW Women's Championship Match

Bianca Belair (c) vs. Becky Lynch

It was at this prestigious event where Becky returned to the "big time" and became then SmackDown Women's Champion in 26 seconds, fast forward twelve months later, everything has come full circle. Bianca will be looking to avoid a repeat of last year's surprise loss and remain RAW Women's Champion, a task she will complete. Predicted Winner: and still RAW Women's Champion. Bianca Belair.

Pat McAfee vs. Baron Corbin

Surprisingly, this has been one of the best feuds on SmackDown, both have done a great job here, in terms of who wins? the choice has been made. Predicted Winner: Pat McAfee.

United States Championship Match

Bobby Lashley (c) vs. Theory - Money in the Bank Winner
Bobby to remain United States Champion, after Theory taps out quickly to the HurtLock, keep an eye on where this match is placed, this could lead to a potential cash in towards the end of the main event. Predicted Winner: and still United States Champion. Bobby Lashley.

SmackDown Women's Championship Match

Liv Morgan (c) vs. Ronda Rousey

Ever since Liv won the championship, the story is her cash in victory over Ronda at Money In The Bank was deemed a fluke and she cannot win when Ronda is 100 percent, the prediction is for Liv to remain champion, after a returning Charlotte costs Ronda the match. Predicted Winner: and still SmackDown Women's Champion. Liv Morgan.

No Disqualification Tag Team Match

Rey & Dominik Mysterio vs. Damian Priest & Finn Balor

The legend that is Rey Mysterio celebrated 20 years in the WWE this past Monday Night on RAW with his family, until the party was stopped by The Judgement Day, which has led us to this No Disqualification Tag Team Match, there will no doubt be chaos, perhaps a return from Edge after the match is over, the recent vignettes seem to be about him, also, could Dominik join Judgement Day after all? Let's see how this one plays out. Predicted Winners: Damian Priest and Finn Balor.

Undisputed Tag Team Championship Match

The Usos (c) vs. Street Profits

(Jeff Jarrett - Special Guest Referee)

This match will no doubt steal the show, the levels of the tag team game will continue to be raised, it will be interesting to see what kind of a role Jeff Jarrett plays here, will he call it down the middle as he suggested he would do? or will he help one of the teams gain the advantage, in terms of who wins? the thinking is that Jimmy and Jey will be The Ones walking out with all the gold here, will this potential loss for Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins lead to the Street Profits splitting up? it's a possibility. Predicted Winners: and still Undisputed Tag Team Champions. The Usos.

It was announced on WWE's social media accounts Riddle has suffered an injury, his match against Seth Rollins has been postponed, should Rollins have a new opponent? it may be a Phenomenal One.

Undisputed WWE Universal Championship - Last Man Standing Match

Roman Reigns (c) vs. Brock Lesnar

We have now arrived at the main event, the following contest between "The Head of the Table" and "The Beast" has been billed as their last match against each other, having watched past encounters, it will be quick paced, multiple finishing moves will be attempted to be hit by the champion and challenger, the only difference is there are no pin falls, the only way to win is to have your opponent unable to answer the referee's ten count, I mentioned Theory earlier, the Money in the Bank holder will be watching this one very closely indeed and attempt a cash in, the belief is the cash in will happen, probably not here, but at the Clash at the Castle Premium Live Event here in the U.K on September 3rd, in the meantime, we the fans will continue to acknowledge Roman as Champion.  Predicted Winner: and still Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. Roman Reigns.  

That about does it for the predictions, hope you have enjoyed the read, be sure to check back here for the Review-ish. 

WWE Money in The Bank 2022 | Review-ish | NEW Champions Crowned!

Welcome back to the blog, it is now time to talk about the matches which took place at Money in the Bank, just minutes after the show closure. 

The nights in ring action began with the Women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match, which was won by Liv Morgan, shoutout to the other participants involved, they were outstanding.

We've got a NEW United States Champion! Bobby Lashley defeated Theory, who tapped out and ultimately failed to complete an all mighty task.

Bianca Belair successfully defended the RAW Women's Championship against Carmella, who tried her best to pull off a shock win, however, her efforts were not enough against the EST of the WWE.

The Usos defeated The Street Profits to remain Undisputed Tag Team Champions, this was match of the night, incredible performance by everyone involved, superb to watch, there was a replay of the three count where Montez appeared to have his shoulder up, this will give the Profits a valid case for a rematch.

During the event, there was a eerie video package, my guess it was for Edge. Let's see how this one plays out. Ronda Rousey defeated Natalya to remain SmackDown Women's Champion in what was a very good and technical co-main event.

We were not done here.......

Liv Morgan ran out to the ring to successfully cash in on Ronda to become the NEW SmackDown Women's Champion, it is her time to shine, she deserves this, respect to Ronda for raising Liv's hand in victory.

Before the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match began, Adam Pearce included Theory as the eighth participant, who then went on to be victorious.

This year's Money in the Bank event was fantastic, despite the creative team giving away the winner of the main event.  

Hell in a Cell 2022 | Review-ish

Welcome back to the blog, if there are any new readers? please note that the review-ish does not have any play-by-plays, these are my instant thoughts about the matches and the event itself, without any further ado, let's begin. Enjoy the read, in the words of Chad Gable, A Thank Yewwwwww! 

The Premium Live Event began with an outstanding triple threat match for the RAW Women's Championship, Bianca threw Becky out of the ring and pinned Asuka for the win to remain champion. Becky looked shocked, Bianca did what she had to do to get the win, Asuka showed glimpses of her NXT days. I will not predict who will challenge the EST next, all I will say is Judgement Day is around the corner. 

Bobby Lashley won the 2 vs. 1 Handicap Match against Omos and MVP, Lashley made MVP tap out via the HurtLock, let's see if this storyline continues tonight on RAW. 

Kevin Owens defeated Ezekiel in what was a decent match, K.O has always said Ezekiel was Elias, perhaps the next chapter of this story is to have Elias somehow show up and stand alongside Ezekiel to further confuse Owens if that makes sense. 

Judgement Day's Edge speared Finn Balor to win the mixed six person tag for his faction, there has been plenty of speculation as to who will be the next person to join, the prediction is Balor, he is a great heel (am I allowed to say that term?) we saw him in that role in the latter stages of NXT Black and Gold. 

The Main Event was of course, a Hell a in a Cell match,  Seth Rollins,walked out wearing Polka Dots, a nice heel move to get a reaction from the Chicago crowd, who were fantastic throughout the event, respect to them for that, Cody then made his way to the ring, there were rumours prior to the event he was injured, we did not know the extent of the injuries until Cody did the reveal, I will not talk about it, you can probably see images on social media, they really bought out all the bells and whistles here to keep the crowd invested, myself included watching on tv, to see what happened next, eventually Cody hit Cross Rhodes on Rollins for the win. 

This truly was a fantastic main event, great respect to Cody and Seth here for their performances, Cody is now undefeated. 3-0 against Rollins,  my apologies to Cody for suggesting his return to the company has been stale, it's all about opinions at the end of the day right?  This was his best match of his WWE career so far in terms of singles competition, however I need to see this kind of performance on a consistent basis, match after match, in order to acknowledge him as a genuine title contender.

The American Nightmare looks set to be out of action for many months, perhaps there will be an announcement on RAW tonight.

See you next time for Money in the Bank. 

WrestleMania Backlash | Review-ish

After a month removed from WrestleMania, the content continues for you readers of the blog, apologies for not posting any predictions for Backlash, it is what it is and here we are with the review-ish. 

Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins began the show, the two put on a fantastic match, not surprising really because they are two quality wrestlers, am I allowed to call them that? should I call them sports entertainers instead? anyway, Cody picked up the win by rolling up Rollins, that's not an easy sentence to say. 

It's probably an unpopular question, but I'll ask it anyway, without expecting any answers, is the novelty of Cody's return to the company already getting old? his entrance and theme music is great but it feels like it's becoming stale already. Hell in a Cell is the next Premium Live Event, they may run this one back one more time, we shall see about that. 

The second match of the night saw Omos defeat Bobby Lashley, this one felt like a TV match you would see on an episode of Monday Night RAW. MVP was the deciding factor here as he cost Lashley by striking him with his walking stick while the referee was distracted. 

The WrestleMania rematches continued, this time with Edge taking on AJ Styles, with the added stipulation of Damian Priest being banned from ringside, who actually did make an appearance by distracting Styles, Finn Balor also appeared, trying to even things up, while that was going on, a masked person hit AJ, allowing Edge to put on a submission hold for victory, the masked person was revealed to be Rhea Ripley, someone who myself, along with many other content creators and fans predicted would join Edge and Damian Priest as part of the Judgement Day faction.

Did you know Judgement Day used to be a Premium Live Event? you learn something new everyday.

Ronda Rousey is your NEW SmackDown Women's Champion, after Charlotte said the words "I quit" this match, along with Cody vs. Seth and Edge vs. AJ Styles was better than the one at WrestleMania, later on it was revealed Charlotte was "injured" it looks as though she will be written off from TV for a while.

MadCap Moss defeated Happy Corbin in the co-main event of the evening, this looks to be end of the rivalry, finally. unless they run this one back this Friday Night on SmackDown. 

Roman Reigns and The Usos were victorious against Drew McIntyre and RK-Bro, after Roman speared Riddle for the pinfall victory, an outstanding main event, which was criticised by many, who had expected this to be a winner take all contest, people just love to complain about anything these days. 

Thanks for reading. Stay tuned for more content, available soon. 

WrestleMania 38 | Night Two Review-ish

Triple H kicked off Night Two to a tremendous ovation, there were chants of Triple H and Thank You Hunter, he looked so emotional and said thank you,followed by Welcome to WrestleMania and left his Boots and microphone in the middle of the ring, as a symbol for the end of his legendary in-ring career.

Gable Steveson was introduced to the crowd.

The opening contest of the night was the Triple Threat for the RAW Tag Team Championship. RK-Bro defending against Street Profits and Chad Gable and Otis. Ford and Gable showed great athleticism, Dawkins' speed and power gained momentum which was put to a stop by Otis, the crowd reacted to hot tags from Orton and Ford, this was awesome to watch, Riddle hit a top rope RKO on Montez, Orton hit Gable with an RKO of his own to ensure RK-Bro remain tag team champions. Street Profits congratulated Riddle and Orton, invited Gabe Steveson, who was ringside, in the ring for a drink, the toast was cut short by Gable, who was left alone with Steveson, who stopped Gable from talking, launched him across the ring, Steveson rejoined RK-Bro and Street Profits to resume the celebration drinks.

Bobby Lashley defeated Omos after a tough, physical match between the two, the Giant, Omos dominated early on, however, the Allmighty used his speed, power and experience to dig deep and hit his opponent with two spears for victory.

The Johnny Knoxville vs, Sami Zayn Anything Goes match was crazy, we saw trash cans, stop signs mousetraps on a table outside of the ring, which Zayn was put through later, there were appearances from other Jackass cast members which added to the entertainment, the crew bought out a giant mousetrap in the ring to trap Zayn, thus allowing Knoxville to pick up the win.

We've got new Women's Tag Team Champions. Congratulations to Sasha Banks and Naomi, the success also gave Sasha her first ever win at the Grandest Stage of them all, it will be interesting to see who they will face for their first title defence.

Up next was AJ Styles vs. Edge. The Phenomenal One walked to the ring with noticeable bleeding on the side of his face. Edge appeared with a Brood type entrance, both guys showcased all the moves from their locker, Edge kicked out of the Styles Clash, just as AJ was about to hit the Phenomenal Forearm, he was distracted by Damian Priest, who was standing at ringside, Edge speared AJ for the win, Priest aligned with the Rated-R Superstar afterwards, let's see where they go from here, it will be interesting see and hear from them about how this new alliance happened, will there be a new member added? if so, Rhea Ripley could be a potential name.

The Attendance for Night Two was 78,453. Sheamus and Ridge defeated New Day's King Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston, originally scheduled for Night One.

Pat McAfee defeated Austin Theory, Vince McMahon was ringside, shoutout to McAfee for a great performance against a future WWE Champion in Theory, who will achieve that goal, only if he is booked correctly by creative, we have seen this many times before and it does not always work out.

The madness of Night Two of WrestleMania continued as we got an impromptu match between Vince and Pat, won by the chairman with help from Theory, we heard glass shatter and out walked Stone Cold Steve Austin to interrupt proceedings, Austin stunned McMahon and Theory in true Stone Cold style, McAfee also got the stunner after toasting beer with the Texas Rattlesnake.

It was now time for the main event. Winner Take All - Title Unification Match between WWE Champion Brock Lesnar and Universal Champion Roman Reigns, who was accompanied by The Usos and Paul Heyman, on commentary it was suggested this was the Sixth time Reign's was in the main event of WrestleMania, before the start of the match, Heyman announced Reigns, Brock grabbed the microphone and announced himself, which was a funny moment. In terms of the match itself, it followed the similar pattern of past matches between the champions, multiple suplexes, superman punches and spears, the key talking point was while the referee was down, Reigns hit Lesnar with the title, who then kicked out at two, Brock countered the spear into a Kimura Lock, Reigns escaped, it looked as though Reigns had hurt his shoulder, it didn't matter though, as he hit the decisive spear to defeat the Beast.

Roman Reigns is now the Universal and WWE Champion and without a doubt One of the Greatest of All Time, this has been your WrestleMania 38 Night Two review-ish, be sure to check out Night One if you haven't already, by clicking HERE on the link.              

WrestleMania 38 | Night One Review-ish

WrestleMania Night One is in the books, the anticipation was in the air, especially with around 70,000 fans in attendance, there was no kick off show match, the Premium Live Event began with the SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match, where the Usos successfully defended their titles against Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs, who suffered an unfortunate injury as he attempted to pick up Jimmy and Jey, here's to a speedy recovery for Boogs.

Drew McIntyre vs. Happy Corbin was next, the key moments of the match was McIntyre kicking out of the end of days, the first person to kick out of the move, he went on to pick up the win after hitting the Claymore to Corbin.

Miz and Logan Paul defeated Rey & Dominik Mysterio, the tag match was better than people thought it was going to be, credit to Logan for putting on a excellent performance, Dominik also, it will be interesting to see what happens next with Logan and Miz, who hit the Skull Crushing Finale on the celebrity while they were celebrating their victory. an awesome moment, excuse the pun.

Stephanie McMahon thanked the crowd in attendance, and introduced Gable Steveson, who will be making his debut on RAW.

Becky Lynch made her grand entrance on stage via a car, Bianca via a marching band, who played her theme music, the champion and challenger attempted to hit their finish moves to try and pick up a quick win, Becky had a close near fall, the crowd were really into this one, in the closing stages, Bianca escaped Becky's version of the Rock Bottom, leading to her hitting the KOD for the 1,2,3 to become the NEW RAW Women's Champion. Congratulations to the EST.

This where business really picked up, it was now time to see who Seth Rollins opponent was, while he was in the ring, we saw fireworks, the lights went out, we also heard the words: Wrestling has more than one Royal Family, which was met with a fantastic reaction, his entrance was amazing, there was a tease of the Pedigree, Cody hit the Cody Cutter on Seth, a tremendous move, eventually Seth hit the Pedigree on Cody leading to a very close near fall, the American Nightmare hit multiple CrossRhodes for the win.

The Hall of Fame class of 2022 were introduced on stage, the total attendance of Night One was 77,899.

It was time for the second women's championship match of the night, Charlotte vs. Ronda Rousey, going in to the match, the two tried to one up each other, trying to get the advantage, it was an even contest, Rousey hit the Pipers Pit into the Ankle Lock, Flair reversed the move, the referee botched the three count while Flair had her foot on the bottom rope following the Piper's Pit, in the closing stages, Rousey tried to revive the referee and was kicked in the face, leading to a loss as Charlotte remained SmackDown Women''s Champion.
 
The main event was the Kevin Owens show. KO once again insulted the state of Texas, the glass shattered and Austin's music hit, who walked out with his ring gear on, he saluted the fans, went backstage and re appeared on a ATV. Owens challenged Austin to a No Holds Barred Match, which The Texas Rattlesnake accepted, the Hall of Famer competing in the ring for the first time in nineteen years was a historic occasion, they battled all over the arena, Austin took some bumps, which was great to see, he eventually hit Owens with the Stunner for the win, followed by another one after the match, adding insult to injury on Owen's afterwards also in true Stone Cold fashion, he said it was good to be back in Dallas, Texas and that's the bottom line, cause Stone Cold said so! he went on to continue the celebrations, this was a great way to close out Night One.     

WrestleMania SmackDown | Review-ish

WrestleMania SmackDown was LIVE from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, let's take a look at the key moments.

Madcap Moss won the Andre the Giant Battle Royal, lastly eliminating Finn Balor.

Ricochet successfully defended his Intercontinental Championship against Angel and Humberto, this was essentially a two versus one handicap match, Ricochet hit the 630 on Angel and the Recoil on Humberto for the win.

We saw a video package for Stone Cold Steve Austin's return.

Naomi and Sasha defeated Queen Zelina and Carmella.before this Sunday;s fatal four way match for the Women's Tag Team Championship.

Ronda Rousey was interviewed by Kayla Braxton to get her thoughts prior to her match against Charlotte who, in turn, cut a promo of her own, we got another video package, this time for the  Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns title unification match.

Austin Theory attacked Pat McAfee, who was dancing on the announce table to Shinsuke Nakamura's theme music, Theory was chased by McAfee to Vince McMahon's office, after Pat kicked the door down, Vince appeared, looking angry, threatening to cancel the scheduled match between Theory and McAfee, moments later, Theory walked out to the ring and threw a drink at his WrestleMania opponent, who was back on commentary for Rick Boogs vs. Jimmy Uso.

Finn Balor ran out to stop Theory, who was on the verge of escaping, when we returned from commercial, a six man tag match was taking place, which was won by Austin Theory and The Usos, defeating Finn Balor, Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs, also resulting in two losses on the same night for the United States Champion, Balor.

Happy Corbin presented Happy Talk with Madcap Moss, why was this the main event of the show? just wondering, with all due respect to Corbin, Moss and Drew McIntyre, who interrupted the segment, knocked out Moss with a punch, grabbed a chair from ringside, and hit Corbin with it and got his sword back, he also split a table in half before his music played.

Pat McAfee and Michael Cole ran through the weekend's match line up to end WrestleMania SmackDown.

   

WrestleMania 38 | Stupendous Predictions

WrestleMania 38 will be taking place in Dallas, Texas, with a sold out crowd in attendance, let's not waste any more time and predict the match winners for the two night extravaganza. Here we go!

Night One Match Card
New Day (King Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston) vs. Sheamus & Ridge Holland
We have seen these two teams battle on SmackDown, they will write the latest chapter of their feud at the Grandest Stage of Them All. New Day are an established team, whereas their opponents need the win more, so they are not seen as a makeshift team, that has been put together just to be on the show lineup. Predicted Winners? Sheamus & Ridge Holland. 

SmackDown Women's Championship Match
Charlotte Flair (c) vs. Ronda Rousey
Ronda returned to WWE at the Rumble, won the match to earn a championship opportunity against Charlotte, who says she is the opportunity, there's the connection for you, the build up hasn't really caught fire in all honesty and respectfully.
Predicted Winner? and NEW SmackDown Women's Champion. Ronda Rousey.

Drew McIntyre vs. Happy Corbin
At the risk of sounding repetitive when talking about this match, there isn't really much to add to what has already been said in terms of how this story (including Madcap Moss)  has unfolded thus far, with all due respect to the guys here, it is about time they move on to different opposition, or be involved in the main title picture at least. Predicted Winner? Drew McIntyre.

Rey & Dominik Mysterio vs. The Miz & Logan Paul
The father and son duo team up to take on Miz and Logan Paul, this is the second consecutive year Miz will be competing in a match involving a celebrity, last year being against Bad Bunny of course, there is a sense Dominik could turn against Rey, resulting in a loss, however, they are my pick to win and save the split for Monday Night RAW or for a later date. Predicted Winners? Rey and Dominik Mysterio.

Seth Rollins vs. ?
Seth Rollins has set his sights on competing at WrestleMania, he has been losing on RAW lately, beginning to show frustration, that has all changed after he talked to Vince McMahon earlier this week, we all know the conversation that took place, the segment is on WWE's YouTube Channel if you haven't seen it, or if you want to watch it again, former WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes is a name which has been touted for a return and face Seth, will that scenario happen? or will someone else be revealed, the clock is ticking, the wait is almost over.

SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match
The Usos (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura & Rick Boogs
Jimmy and Jey will put their titles on the line against Nakamura and Boogs, expect to see their reign continue. Predicted Winners? and still SmackDown Tag Team Champions. The Usos.

RAW Women's Championship Match
Becky Lynch (c) vs. Bianca Belair
This particular story has gone from the SmackDown Women's Championship to the Raw Women's Championship, we know the events which occured at SummerSlam, that has bought the two competitors to where we are today, it has been a while since Becky was without a title, Bianca will be looking to avenge the loss from August and have her own WrESTleMania moment. Predicted Winner? and NEW RAW Women's Champion. Bianca Belair.

The Kevin Owens Show - with special guest Stone Cold Steve Austin
It has been suggested this segment will be the main event of Night One, credit to KO for creating so much anticipation, it will be a great moment when the glass shatters and Austin walks out to an amazing reaction, will this lead to an impromptu match? we shall see. 

Night Two Match Card
Omos vs. Bobby Lashley
Omos faces an almighty task against the returning Bobby Lashley, who had been out of action since Elimination Chamber due to a possible injury, the giant has not lost a singles match, until now. Predicted Winner? Bobby Lashley.

RAW Tag Team Championship Match
RK-Bro vs. Street Profits vs. Chad Gable & Otis
Going in to this triple threat, Orton and Riddle are so popular with the crowd, the Street Profits have been showing heel-like attitudes as of late, whether it will be long term plan or just for this match, we do not know, Gable and Otis are outstanding also. Predicted Winners? and NEW RAW Tag Team Champions. Street Profits.

Edge vs. AJ Styles
Edge has been fantastic with his recent promos, including his new music, entrance and attitude, AJ is phenomenal as we know, a candidate for match of the night, if not the weekend. Predicted Winner? AJ Styles. 

Pat McAfee vs. Austin Theory
The last time we saw Pat compete in the ring was against Adam Cole in NXT, which was an excellent match by the way. Theory has been on the rise and will look to continue his momentum with a win with Vince McMahon in his corner, unfortunately he will not be successful in doing so.
Predicted Winner? Pat McAfee.

Anything Goes Match
Johnny Knoxville vs. Sami Zayn
Sami Zayn has had issues with J.K since the Rumble, where he was thrown over the top rope,  J.K also cost Zayn his Intercontinental Championship against Ricochet, expect to see some of the Jackass crew make an appearance and help their friend pick up the win. Predicted Winner? Johnny Knoxville.

Women's Tag Team Championship Match
Queen Zelina & Carmella (c) vs. Sasha Banks & Naomi vs. Rhea Ripley & Liv Morgan vs.
Natalya & Shayna Baszler.
This one is difficult to call to be honest with you, the champions face tough competition from Rhea and Liv, who are gelling quite well as a team and Naomi and Sasha who will attempt to put some glow on Sunday Night and putting an end to The Boss's winless run at this prestigious event. Predicted Winner? and NEW Women's Tag Team Champions. Sasha Banks and Naomi.

Winner Take All - Title Unification Match
Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns (c)
Billed as the biggest main event in WrestleMania history, we have seen this match time and time again, including the iconic moment of Seth Rollins cashing in at 'Mania 31, Brock and Roman have been excellent in the build up in terms of promo's and confrontations, the roles have been reversed also, in my opinion, this story brings memories of Rock vs. Austin, in terms of the winner? the choice has been made, it is time to acknowledge. Predicted Winner? Roman Reigns.

Here is an additional prediction for you, when Roman is celebrating his victory, The Rock's music will hit, the crowd will go crazy, Rock and Roman will tease a match for next year's WrestleMania, bringing the show to a close, giving us fans something to talk about on social media and here on the blog.

WWE RAW Before WrestleMania | Review-ish

Monday Night RAW was LIVE from Pittsburgh. Let's take a look at some of the key moments during the three hour broadcast. 

WWE Champion Brock Lesnar began the show by cutting an in-ring promo, ahead of his title unification match with Roman Reigns.

Rey Mysterio vs. Miz was the first match of the night, Miz introduced Logan Paul to the ring before the start of the contest, who walked out wearing Mysterio's mask in order to get some heat from the crowd, Rey's son Dominik was ejected from ringside, however, this did not prevent his dad from picking up the win, Dom returned to the ring, he and Rey gained some revenge from last week.

Dominik & Rey will face Miz & Logan Paul on Saturday.

Veer will debut on RAW next week, we then saw footage of Seth Rollins going to Vince McMahon's office in order to find out who he will face at WrestleMania. McMahon said Rollins opponent will be revealed when he is in the ring, the anticipation continues to build for a certain return, unless they have another name in mind.

Omos defeated SmackDown's Viking Raiders by countout and was interrupted by Bobby Lashley, the two got into a fight, it looked as though the two would be having a match during the weekend, it was made official later on.

The Universal Champion Roman Reigns was accompanied to the ring by Paul Heyman and his cousins, The Usos, to further hype up the main event on Sunday, this bought back memories of Rock vs. Austin from nineteen years ago.

Liv Morgan, Rhea Ripley, Sasha Banks & Naomi defeated Carmella, Zelina Vega, Shayna Baszler & Natalya.

We saw a montage of Stone Cold Steve Austin's career, followed by a fantastic promo by Kevin Owens, according to some reports, the KO Show could be the main event on Night One, subject to change of course.

Austin Theory defeated Intercontinental Champion, Ricochet, this may lead to a future title shot for the winner of this contest. Bianca Belair returned to RAW after missing last week, she was interrupted by Becky Lynch, they proceeded to fight each other and while Bianca was on the mat, Becky attempted to cut the EST's hair, who narrowly escaped and hit two KOD's and cut the champion's hair. Becky showed anger and was met with chants of "You deserve it" from the crowd.

The commentators ran through some of the match line up for WrestleMania. Stay tuned to the blog for predictions, which will be available hours before the event.

Drew McIntyre defeated Happy Corbin & Madcap Moss in a match we have seen many times before, Corbin attacked McIntyre after and left the ring with the Scot's sword.

Backstage, Edge talked about recent events leading to his match against AJ Styles on Sunday, who responded with a backstage promo of his own. 

Rick Boogs & Shinsuke Nakamura were ringside for the tag team match main event, ending in no contest due to interference from the Street Profits. Orton and Riddle hit RKO's and celebrated with the thousands in attendance as the show went off the air.

This show had a RAW vs. SmackDown vibe to it, be sure to check back here for the SmackDown review-ish on Saturday. 

Thanks for reading.    

  

WWE Elimination Chamber 2022 | Review-ish

Welcome back to the blog, the Premium Live Event known as Elimination Chamber, is now in the record books. Admittedly, I was unaware of there being a match on the kick-off show, Rey Mysterio defeated the Miz, Rey went on to celebrate with his son Dominik in the ring, let's rundown the main card with thoughts included. 

Elimination Chamber started off with the Universal Championship on the line, Roman's and Goldberg's entrances had a WrestleMania like feel to them, the challenger seemed gassed early on, he tried his usual of surprising his opponent by hitting spears from out of nowhere, shoutout to Randy Orton. Roman won by putting Goldberg in the submission hold, to wrap up a quick six minute match, what's next for The Hall of Famer? we shall see, whereas Reigns moves on to WrestleMania in six weeks time. Acknowledge Him! 

The Women's Elimination Chamber match was fantastic, big respect to the six participants involved, the crowd were invested throughout, everyone bought their a-game here, Rhea Ripley was outstanding, she looks like she is rediscovering her level of class from her NXT days, the EST of the WWE Bianca Belair won the Chamber, lastly eliminating Alexa Bliss. 

Ronda Rousey and Naomi won their respective tag team match, against Charlotte and Sonya Deville, even though Ronda had to wrestle with one arm tied behind her back, everyone will move on to their respective feuds. Drew McIntyre defeated Madcap Moss to move on to Corbin, the Falls Count Anywhere Match wasn't anything special, respectfully. 

Becky successfully defended her RAW Women's Championship against Lita, the match itself was nice, however, the finish was a little weak, the Manhandle slam lacked a little impact, the stage is now set for Becky vs. Bianca at 'Mania, hopefully this was not the last we saw of Lita in the ring, she received a great ovation after the contest. 

The Usos vs. Viking Raiders ended in a no contest, as Jimmy and Jey attacked Erik and Ivar before the match even happened, now it was time for the main event, the Elimination Chamber Match for the WWE Championship, Bobby Lashley was taken out during the match unexpectedly with an injury, which meant there was going to be a new champion crowned, when Brock Lesnar entered, he pinned everyone one by one, going on to become the NEW WWE Champion in easy fashion, it was like playing a WWE game on easy mode, it has to be said, Brock chasing Austin Theory and hitting the F5 on him, from the roof of the pod, all the way to the Chamber floor, was a great visual in what was a otherwise disappointing match, yet a very good show overall 

As mentioned earlier, WrestleMania is six weeks away, stay tuned for more content as the journey on the road to the Grandest Stage of Them All continues.

WWE Elimination Chamber 2022 | Predictions

Readers of the blog, it's that time again, time to predict match scenarios and outcomes for another WWE Premium Live Event, some may be logical, some may be over the top, at the end of the day, we love watching this fine art of sports entertainment. Elimination Chamber will be LIVE this Saturday from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, as you can see, the card is so stacked, let's run through the eight matches, here we go!

Rey Mysterio vs. The Miz
Fresh off the loss to Edge at the Royal Rumble, Miz has got himself in a somewhat rushed feud with Rey and Dominik, this one has followed a similar pattern to the one against the Rated-R Superstar. In terms of the winner? WWE will want to put smiles on the thousands in attendance. Predicted Winner? Rey Mysterio.

Ronda Rousey & Naomi vs. Charlotte Flair & Sonya Deville 
This is a case of two stories intertwining with each other, Ronda challenging Charlotte for WrestleMania and Naomi and Sonya continuing their rivalry also, why Sonya chooses to get in the way of The Glow is something, hopefully, we will find out one day. Predicted Winners: Ronda & Naomi.

Elimination Chamber Match for an opportunity for the RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania
Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair vs. Doudrop vs. Nikki A.S.H vs. Alexa Bliss 
Six fantastic competitors will be in the Chamber, not sure who will enter at what stage, we will find that out during the match itself, getting to the decision of the winner is a process of elimination, no pun intended, Liv has had opportunities in the past to win the title, but has failed, Rhea and Nikki are looking to rebuild their singles careers after their split, that rules them out of the win, Doudrop also recently lost to Becky, Alexa will return to action at this event to possibly set up a storyline for April with someone, which leaves the EST to pick up the win, move on to WrestleMania and get revenge from SummerSlam.
Predicted Winner: Bianca Belair.

Falls Count Anywhere
Drew McIntyre vs. Madcap Moss 
Drew has been fighting Moss and Baron Corbin for quite a while now, one would assume he would be involved in the world title picture, which is unlikely at this point, the Scot should win here, however, with creative booking this match and the stipulation included, there could be a shock result here. Predicted Winner: Drew McIntyre. 

SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match
The Usos (c) vs. Viking Raiders
Jimmy and Jey have had quite a run as the champions, their latest challenge will be from the Viking Raiders, who won the gauntlet on SmackDown to become number one contenders, Erik and Ivar have not tasted championship success for over two years or so, they will look to change all of that with victory, however, they will fall short. Predicted Winners: and still SmackDown Tag Team Champions. The Usos. 

RAW Women's Championship Match
Becky Lynch (c) vs. Lita
This will be a great match from two competitors from different eras in WWE history, Lita will attempt to halt Becky's reign, however, the Big Time will be too much for her on this occasion. Predicted Winner: and still RAW Women's Champion. Becky Lynch.

Universal Championship Match
Roman Reigns (c) vs. Goldberg 
Reigns vs. Goldberg was first scheduled for the championship at WrestleMania 36, plans changed due to the pandemic, they will finally meet for the title at Elimination Chamber. Goldberg will try his usual tactic of hitting the Spear repeatedly on the champion early on, along with the Jackhammer with a very near fall, in an attempt to get the crowd off their seats, Reigns will recover and gain control of the match be victorious. Predicted Winner: and still Universal Champion. The Tribal Chief. The Head of The Table. Roman Reigns. 

Elimination Chamber Match for the WWE Championship
Bobby Lashley (c) vs. Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins vs. Austin Theory vs. Riddle vs. AJ Styles
It is unclear whether this will be the main event, which features five established superstars and Austin Theory, who is trying to make a name for himself, he is doing well at the moment, however, there is a long way to go for him to be one of the main people on the RAW roster, you can see above who is competing in the Chamber, the feeling is that there will be a new champion crowned, very difficult one to call, there has been talk of the WrestleMania main event being title vs. title between Roman and Brock, which is why The Beast is the choice here. Predicted Winner: and NEW WWE Champion. Brock Lesnar..

Here is an extra prediction for you readers out there, forget about forbidden doors, do not expect to see any shock appearances, those Rhodes are closed, another pun intended, if you know, you know, you could say that pun is elite. Thank you for reading, be sure to check back here for the review-ish hours after the event has ended. 

WWE Royal Rumble 2022 | A Very Predictable Event

This is your 2022 Royal Rumble Review-ish. WWE's first Premium Live Event of the year, as we start our travels on the road to WrestleMania. Six matches were scheduled on the night, now it's time to talk about some of the the key moments, beginning with the Universal Championship Match. 

Universal Championship Match
Seth Rollins defeated Roman Reigns by Disqualification - Roman remains Universal Champion.
It was noted on social media Roman and Seth would be opening the show, which proved to be correct, there was somewhat of a prospect by people online, the championship could be changing hands at the end of the match, the best parts of this contest were, Seth walking out to The Shield's music, which was met by a great reaction by the thousands in attendance, Roman's reaction to it was fantastic and you could tell Seth was in his head, an aspect that continued throughout, till the end which ended in no disqualification, the creative backed themselves into a corner that they couldn't get out of, Roman hitting Seth with the chair was a way of the Shield breakup coming full circle years later, with The Tribal Chief finally getting some revenge and retribution. 

Women's Royal Rumble Match
Order of Entry
1. Sasha Banks                     
2. Melina

21. Alicia Fox 
22. Nikki A.S.H
23. Summer Rae
24. Nikki Bella
25. Sarah Logan
26. Lita
27. Molly Holly
28. Ronda Rousey
29. Shotzi
30. Shayna Baszler

Winner of the Match: Ronda Rousey, lastly eliminating Charlotte Flair.

The Royal Rumble match is perhaps one of, if not, THE best stipulation in all of wrestling, yes it was great to see superstars from years gone by, Sasha entering the match first and getting eliminated quickly was very surprising, it felt like Daniel Bryan's elimination from 2015, it was nice to see Mickie James walkout to her current theme from Impact Wrestling, along with the championship belt from said promotion, no disrespect to the participants involved, everyone knew Ronda was going to be returning, it seemed as though the crowd weren't really interested fully until Bad Reputation hit after the countdown buzzer, the so called "fantasy" booking had Ronda challenging Becky at 'Mania, however, since Ronda eliminated Charlotte at the end, there is a very good case for Ronda challenging Charlotte instead, subject to change of course.
 
RAW Women's Championship Match
Becky Lynch defeated Doudop to remain RAW Women's Champion. 
Becky and Doudrop put on a damn good match, they worked very hard to entertain the crowd, who, unfortunately didn't respond, they were very quiet throughout, there was a moment where the WrestleMania sign caught fire, thankfully there wasn't any disaster, back to the match, especially the close, Becky hit the finish for the win, it would be cool to see these two face each other again in the very near future. 

WWE Championship Match 
Bobby Lashley defeated Brock Lesnar to become the NEW WWE Champion.
The video package for this clash was absolutley fantastic, elevating the hype for the match, we knew going into this Brock didn't take Bobby seriously at all, there was a sense of Paul Heyman turning against his client, an aspect which materialised, Bobby felt like an afterthought throughout, even after he won the championship following Roman's interference.

Beth Phoenix & Edge defeated Maryse & The Miz.
There was a belief, from myself in particular, this tag team match was going to open the show, it felt like a main event match we would possibly see on an episode of RAW, hopefully this story is now over, with all due respect to all involved. 

Men's Royal Rumble Match
Order of Entry
1. AJ Styles
2. Shunsuke Nakamura - Intercontinental Champion
3. Austin Theory
4. Robert Roode
5. Ridge Holland 
6. Montez Ford
7. Damian Priest - United States Champion
8. Sami Zayn
9. Johnny Knoxville 
10. Angelo Dawkins
11. Omos
12. Ricochet
13. Chad Gable - RAW Tag Team Champion
14. Dominik Mysterio
15. Happy Corbin
16. Dolph Ziggler
17. Sheamus 
18. Rick Boogs
19. Madcap Moss
20. Riddle
21. Drew Mcintyre
22. Kevin Owens
23. Rey Mysterio
24. Kofi Kingston
25. Otis - RAW Tag Team Champion
26. Big E
27. Bad Bunny 
28. Shane McMahon
29. Randy Orton 
30. Brock Lesnar

Winner of the Match: Brock Lesnar, lastly eliminating Drew Mcintyre. 

The Men's Royal Rumble match followed a similar pattern to the Women's, in terms of the winner, when Brock lost his championship, it seemed inevitable he would enter and win, which dampened the competitiveness of the hour or so long match, other talking points of this match were, AJ getting eliminated by Madcap Moss of all people and Big E not going the distance, him being moved back to SmackDown without anyone else going the other way tells us he will not be involved in the title picture as time goes on.
