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.

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.
