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

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.
