WWE TLC 2020 Review

The final WWE Pay-Per-View of 2020, TLC, took place on Sunday 20th December at the Thunderdome. The card looks pretty decent so, let's take a look.

The match on the Kick Off Show was a eight man tag team match with the team of Daniel Bryan, Otis, Chad Gable and Big E taking on the team of King Corbin, Cesaro, Shinsuke Nakamura and Sami Zayn. Big E hits the Big Ending on Sami Zayn to get his team the win. The match was quite good.

Winners: Daniel Bryan, Otis, Chad Gable and Big E (N/A)

The first match is a TLC Match for the WWE Championship with AJ Styles challenging Drew McIntyre. Highlights of the match include: Styles being sent into a chair set up in the corner; and Styles using a ladder and then a chair to help him apply the calf killer. After McIntyre sends Styles through a table on the outside, The Miz and John Morrison run in to take out McIntyre and cash in Miz's Money in the Bank briefcase, making it a triple threat. When Miz climbs up, Styles' henchman Omos, grabs him and sends him through another table on the outside. Omos then runs off Morrison. The end comes when all 3 of them are on ladders. McIntyre gets taken off the ladder but he recovers to push Styles and Miz off the ladder then kills Miz with a Claymore Kick. McIntyre then climbs up the ladder to grab the belt and get the win.

I thought this was a really good match and I really liked the twist of Miz cashing in to make it a triple threat. I was surprised Miz wasn't successful but it turns out that, due to Morrison handing in the briefcase, it technically didn't count; so I guess that's ok.

Winner; Drew McIntyre (1 for 1)

The next match is for the Smackdown Women's Championship as Carmella challenges Sasha Banks. After a few pinning attempts, both women try to get the other to submit. Sasha applies the Banks Statement but Carmella's sommelier Reginald pulled her out of the ring. In the end, Sasha goes on to again apply the Banks Statement, getting Carmella to submit and get the win. I thought this was a good match to watch.

Winner: Sasha Banks (1 for 2)

We now get the RAW Tag Team Championship match as The Hurt Business challenges The New Day. The New Day almost win it in the first couple of minutes, but Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander recover and focus their attacks on Xavier Woods. Woods manages to tag in Kofi Kingston; however, Alexander hits Kingston with the Lumber Check to get the win. This was another good match and, even though I predicted the opposite, I'm happy that Benjamin and Alexander got the win.

Winners: The Hurt Business (1 for 3)

The next match is for the Women's Tag Team Championship as Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler face the challenge of Asuka and...Charlotte Flair. Jax and Baszler focus their attack on Asuka's right arm. Asuka recovers to get the hot tag to Flair, who goes on hit Natural Selection on Baszler to get the win. This was a good match but I feel like they ccould have gone a bit longer.

Winners: Asuka and Charlotte Flair (1 for 4)

The penultimate match is a TLC Match for the Universal Champion as Kevin Owens challenges Roman Reigns. Owens surprises Reigns by attacking him while the belt was being hung up. Jey Uso comes in to help but that turned out to be a bad idea as Owens destroys him. Eventually, Reigns recovers and hits Owens with a drive-by to get the advantage. They go on to destroy each other with everything they can get their hands on. Owens comes close but Uso slows him down and, after making Owens pass out from a Guillotine Choke, Reigns manages to climb up and grab the belt to get the win. I thought this was a good match and I liked it being a handicap match for some of it. 

Winner: Roman Reigns (2 for 5)

The main event is a Firefly Inferno Match between "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton. Wyatt hits Orton with Sister Abigail then proceeds to set The Thunderdome on fire. Later on, Wyatt tries to use the Mandible Claw to push Orton into the fire but Orton pushes him into the fire instead. They go into the ring and Orton hits Wyatt with the RKO. Orton, despite winning the match a few minutes earlier, decides to confirm it by setting Wyatt on fire in the middle of the ring. So, Orton wins by murder...?

I wasn't a fan of this match. Having the fire effects surrounding the ring looked pretty good but that was it. I just wasn't invested in it.

Winner: Randy Orton 

I have mixed feelings about this event. I thought the vast majority of the matches were good, especially the 2 TLC matches. However, I thought the main event ruined it for me. I thought that would the end of the rivalry between the two. However, I know this feud will continue til Wrestlemania so...yay?

WWE Survivor Series 2020 Review

 Survivor Series 2020 took place on Sunday November 22nd at the WWE Thunderdome. There are a lot of interesting matches on the card so, let's take a look.

The match on the Kick Off Show was a Battle Royal. The wrestlers involved were: Angel Garza, Apollo Crews, Chad Gable, Cedric Alexander, Dolph Ziggler, Dominik Mysterio, Elias, Humberto Carrillo, Jeff Hardy, John Morrison, Kalisto, The Miz, Murphy, Rey Mysterio, Ricochet, Robert Roode, Shelton Benjamin and Shinsuke Nakamura. The final four end up being: Jeff Hardy, Dominik Mysterio, Chad Gable and The Miz. Gable eliminates Hardy but he is then eliminated by Dominik. Miz then slides in and eliminates Dominik to get the win. I thought this was a fun match to watch.

Winner: The Miz (N/A)

The first match on the show was the Men's Survivor Series Elimination Match with Team RAW (AJ Styles, Keith Lee, Sheamus, Braun Strowman and Riddle) taking on Team Smackdown (Kevin Owens, Jey Uso, King Corbin, Seth Rollins and Otis). Rollins is the first to be eliminated after deciding to martyr himself and get hit by a Brogue Kick by Sheamus. Styles eliminates Owens thanks to a Phenomenal Forearm and Riddle eliminates Corbin with a corkscrew splash. Strowman eliminates Otis thanks to a Running Powerslam. Jey Uso tries to splash Styles but Keith Lee catches him and hits a Spirit Bomb to get a clean sweep and the win. This was quite a decent match between the two teams although I was surprised to see a clean sweep.

Winners: AJ Styles, Keith Lee, Sheamus, Braun Strowman and Riddle (1 for 1)

The next match was between the RAW Tag Team Champions The New Day and the Smackdown Tag Team Champions The Street Profits. The New Day spend most of the match focusing on Montez Ford before he manages to get the hot tag to Angelo Dawkins. In the end, Dawkins put Xavier Woods on his shoulders and Ford hits him with a top rope blockbuster to get the win. I thought that match was a bit slow to begin with but it developed into an entertaining contest.

Winners: The Street Profits (1 for 2)

We now get the Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn taking on the United States Champion Bobby Lashley. Sami tries to provoke Lashley's buddies, The Hurt Business, into hitting him (therefore, winning by disqualification) but to no avail. In the end, Lashley gets Zayn to submit to the Hurt Lock to get the win. This was quite a good match.

Winner: Bobby Lashley (1 for 3)

Next is a battle between the RAW Women's Champion Asuka and the Smackdown Women's Champion Sasha Banks. During the match, both women try to get the other to submit. In the end, Sasha manages to roll up Asuka to get the win. I was quite surprised at the ending as Asuka had never lost to Sasha before this match. Having said that, I thought it was a really good match.

Winner: Sasha Banks (1 for 4)

The next match is theWomen's Survivor Series Elimination Match as Team RAW (Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Lana, Lacey Evans and Peyton Royce) take on Team Smackdown (Bayley, Bianca Belair, Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan and Natalya). The first elimination occurs when Royce takes out Bayley with a Deja Vu. However, she is eliminated a few minutes later by Natalya thanks to a Sharpshooter. Lacey Evans eliminates Natalya after she hits The Woman's Right and Baszler eliminates Riott. Morgan eliminates Evans after hitting a Crucifix Bomb but she gets eliminated after being flattened by a Samoa Drop from Jax. Baszler decides to be an idiot when she gets disqualified for not releasing the Krirfuda Clutch on Belair when she got to the ropes. Jax then grabs Belair and they fight outside the ring. Unfortunately, they both get counted out leaving Lana, who had been treated like shit by her teammates during (and even long before) as the sole survivor. So, Lana effectivley wins by being disrespected...? Erm, ok. As for the match, aside from a few obvious mistakes, I enjoyed it and I liked Lana getting some comeuppance on her teammates, who had no respect for her.

Winner: Lana (1 for 5)

The final match is Universal Champion Roman Reigns taking on WWE Champion Drew McIntyre. Reigns is dominant for most of the match before McIntyre gets back into it. The match goes back and forth and McIntyre goes for the Claymore Kick but Reigns counters with a Superman punch. Reigns goes on to send McIntyre through the announce table with a Samoa Drop followed by a Spear through part of the barrier. McIntyre eventually hits a Claymore Kick but it sends Reigns into the referee, who goes out of the ring. Jey Uso, who Reigns had told to fuck off home earlier in the night, comes in and helps Reigns with a superkick to McIntyre. Reigns then applies a Gillotine Choke and a second referee comes in to call for the bell when McIntyre passes out. This was a really good main event and, whilst I picked McIntyre to win, Reigns winning was the best call to make.

Winner: Roman Reigns (1 for 6)

The event ends with the retirement ceremony of The Undertaker, who debuted 30 years ago at Survivor Series 1990. The Undertaker is an icon of the industry, who is highly respected. My first match that I saw of his was when he took on Jake "The Snake" Roberts at Wrestlemania VIII. Whilst I'm not been a big fan of him, I've always enjoyed his work, especially some of his Wrestlemania matches. He will be greatly missed and I hope he continues to find some way to stay involved in WWE. As for the ceremony itself, it was good although Kane being in his custome in the middle of other wrestlers wearing normal clothes was a bit weird. 

I actually really enjoyed Survivor Series. The last few events I've enjoyed but I felt like they were nowhere near as good as the NXT TakeOvers. This is the first time in a while that I felt that WWE had put on a really good event. I'm probably wrong but I hope the next one is just as good.

WWE Elimination Chamber 2021 Preview

The winner of this match will get to face Roman Reigns later in the night. I'm might be in the minority but I'm going for Bryan to win.

Triple Threat Match for the United States Championship

I have a sneaking suspicion that Keith Lee might win this.

This should be a good match and I'm going for Jax and Baszler to retain.

A tough one to call but I think that McIntyre will find a way to win.

It will be a while before I get to see this. I hope you all enjoy the show.

Women's Dusty Rhodes Classic Final

I'm quite looking forward to this one and I think that Ember and Shotzi will win.

Predicted Winners: Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart

MSK vs Grizzled Young Veterans

Men's Dusty Rhodes Classic Final

I really like the team of James Drake and Zack Gibson. However, I feel that MSK are being groomed to be the next NXT Tag Team Champions. Therefore, I'm picking them to win.

Predicted Winners: MSK

Io Shirai vs Toni Storm vs Mercedes Martinez

Triple Threat Match for the NXT Women's Championship

This has the chance to be a really good  match. I feel that it's time for a chance and I'm going for Toni Storm to win this.

Predicted Winner: Toni Storm

Johnny Gargano vs Kushida

NXT North American Championship

I think that Gargano will retain.

Predicted Winner: Johnny Gargano

Finn Balor vs Pete Dunne

NXT Championship

I really want Dunne to win. However, I feel it's more likely that Balor will retain.

Predicted Winner: Finn Balor

I'm slowly making my way through the backlog of shows I need to review. I hope you all enjoy the show.

WWE Hell in a Cell 2020 Review

 WWE Hell in a Cell took place on Sunday 25th October at the WWE Thunderdome in Orlando, Florida. There are 7 matches on the card, including 3 Hell in a Cell matches; so, let's take a look.

The match on the Kick Off Show was R-Truth defended his 24/7 Championship against Drew Gulak (if you care about that). After Gulak fucks with R-Truth regarding Little Jimmy (which is still a thing after what, 8 years?), R-Truth manages to roll up Gulak to get the win. I struggled to get into this match but thankfully, it only lasted a few minutes.

Winner: R-Truth (N/A)

The first match on the show is Jey Uso challenging Roman Reigns to a I Quit Hell in a Cell Match. Jey gets the upper hand for a little bit but Reigns manages to hit a Spear to get back the advantage. After a while, Jey is practically unconscious but he doesn't quit. This resorts in Reigns using more brutal methods to force the words out of him. After hitting Jey with the steel steps, the referee decides to end the match. However, Reigns stops him from doing so and throws him out of the ring. Various officials and referees come into the cell to try and stop him but it takes Jimmy Uso running in to stop Reigns from hitting Hey with the steel steps. Reigns then puts Jimmy in a Guillotine Choke. Jey eventually recovers and says "I Quit" to save his brother from further injury. 

This was an interesting match to watch. The chance to a slow pace at the end was a surprise but it was used effectively to show Reigns being initially remorseful in his actions only to take advantage of the Uso's love for him and each other to get the win. I was worried for a minute that it might be used to start a face turn for Reigns. Thankfully, it was used instead to cement Reigns as the number 1 heel on Smackdown. 

Winner: Roman Reigns (1 for 1)

The next match is Jeff Hardy taking on Elias. After a short back and forth affair, Elias goes to the outside and grabs his guitar. However, Hardy grabs it off him and hits him with it, getting disqualified in the process. The match was ok but I thought that the ending didn't quite make sense.

Winner: Elias (2 for 2)

The next match is for possession of the Money in the Bank briefcase as Otis takes on Hollywood Miz. Miz struggles with Otis before he gets some help from John Morrison to get the advantage. Despite a brief comeback by Otis, helped by referee Jessika Carr sending John Morrison to the back; Miz gets some unexpected help when Tucker hits Otis with the briefcase. Miz then pins Otis to get the win. This was quite a fun match and I was quite surprised when Tucker betrayed Otis. I'm a big fan of The Miz so I'm looking forward to him cashing in and becoming a World Champion once again. 

Winner: The Miz (3 for 3)

We now get our second Hell in a Cell match as Sasha Banks challenges Bayley for the Smackdown Women's Championship. Sasha doesn't fuck around and gets rid of the steel chair that Bayley has been using to injure people while the cell is being lowered. During the match, they use 

tables, kendo sticks, a fire extinguisher  and steel chairs against each other. In the end, Sasha applies the Bank Statement while Bayley's head is through a chair to get the win by submission. I thought this was a really enjoyable match between them and I can't wait to see how Sasha's reign goes.

Winner: Sasha Banks (4 for 4)

Next is Bobby Lashley taking on Shane Throne Slapjack in an impromptu United States Championship match. After a few minutes, Lashley gets Slapjack to submit to the Hurt Lock to get the win. The rest of Retribution come in to attack Lashley but The Hurt Business arrive to make the save. The match was ok and this is the first time that I've seen any members of Retribution wrestle. I can see why they have received a huge amount of negative criticism. Nothing against the people involved but this could have been an opportunity to do another version of Nexus. Instead, we get whatever this is. I feel that WWE never gave them a chance and they need to retool it or disband the group.

Winner: Bobby Lashley (N/A)

The main event is our third Hell in a Cell match as Randy Orton challenges Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship. Orton, I assume inspired by the Hitman games, tries to attack McIntyre during his entrance while disguised as a member of the crew. However, McIntyre is ready for him and they attack on the outside of the cell before McIntyre throws him inside and the match starts. McIntyre goes for the Claymore early on but Orton stops that by using a steel chair. The match goes back and forth before Orton uses bolt cutters to leave the cell and is followed by McIntyre. They then decide to fight at the top of the cell, which turns out to be a bad idea as Orton sends McIntyre from the side of the cell through the announce table. McIntyre somehow recovers and hits a Claymore. However, it was not enough as Orton avoids a second Claymore and hits a RKO to get the win. I thought the match was pretty good but, spoiler alert, McIntyre wins it back a few weeks later. Therefore, I didn't see the point of giving Orton the belt only for him to lose it before Survivor Series.

Winner: Randy Orton (4 for 5)

I quite liked Hell in a Cell. I don't find them as enjoyable as the NXT TakeOvers but they seem to be doing pretty well recently. Let's see how it goes.

 

WWE Royal Rumble 2021 Preview

 

WWE Royal Rumble 2021 will be taking this Sunday at Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay. There are 6 matches on the card, including 2 Royal Rumble Matches so let's take a look.

Asuka and Charlotte Flair vs Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler

WWE Women's Tag Team Championship

This should be an entertaining contest. A tough one to call but I'm going for Asuka and Flair to retain.

Predicted Winners: Asuka and Charlotte Flair

Sasha Banks vs Carmella

Smackdown Women's Championship

I think that Sasha will win here.

Predicted Winner: Sasha Banks

Roman Reigns vs Kevin Owens

Last Man Standing Match for the Universal Championship

I'm quite looking forward to this one. Owens will put up a good fight but I think that Reigns will retain.

Predicted Winner: Roman Reigns

Drew McIntyre vs Goldberg

WWE Championship

I really want McIntyre to win but it's more likely that WWE will book Goldberg to win.

Predicted Winner: Goldberg

Women's Royal Rumble Match

I might be thinking out of the box here but I think that Alexa Bliss will win.

Predicted Winner: Alexa Bliss

Men's Royal Rumble Match

A lot of people think that Bryan will win and I tend to agree with them. He is probably his last run as a full-time superstar and I feel that he will go into a feud with Reigns.

Predicted Winner: Daniel Bryan

Due to being (technically) a key worker, it might be a while before I review it. Having said that, I hope you all enjoy the show.

NXT TakeOver 31 Review

 NXT TakeOver 31 took place on the 4th October at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. There are 5 matches on the card, including a surprising main event; so let's take a look.

The first match was for the North American Championship as Johnny Gargano challenges Damien Priest. After some back and forth, Gargano takes advantage of Priest accidentally taking out a couple of security guards to hit a low blow followed by a kick to the head. In the end, Gargano goes for the One Final Beat however, Priest is able to stop it and hit The Reckoning to get the win. This is an enjoyable match between the two.

Winner: Damien Priest (1 for 1)

The next match is Kushida taking on The Velveteen Dream. Kushida doesn't fuck aorund and attacks Dream during his entrance. When the referee gets control and rings the bell, Kushida continues his assault and focuses on the arms. After a brutal affair, Dream hits the Dream Valley Driver. However, Kushida grabs hold of the arm during the move and gets Dream to submit to the Hoverboard Lock to get the win. After the match, Kushida celebrates by continuing to attack Dream. This was a good match and it looks Kushida is about to go on a heel run, which I'm interested to see.

Winner: Kushida (1 for 2)

We now get Isaiah "Swerve" Scott challenging Santos Escobar for the NXT Interim(?) Cruiserweight Championship. Scott comes close to winning a couple of times before Escobar has to get help from his lackeys Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza. Scott gets some backup from Ashante Adonis but Escobar recovers and comes close to winning after hittting the Phantom Driver. In the end, Escobar gets the win after hitting a double underhook into a face buster. This match was really good although I thought the ending was a bit underwhelming. There was a great sequence that led to the Phantom Driver earlier in the match and I feel that that would have been a better way to end it.

Winner: Santos Escobar (2 for 3)

The penultimate match is for the NXT Women's Championship as Candice LeRae challenges Io Shirai.  Both women come close to winning before LeRae puts  Shirai in a cross face. When LeRae is forced to release the hold, she accidentally elbows the referee then makes it worse when she sends Shirai into him, sending him out of the ring. LeRae hits the Wicked Step Sister and her husband Johnny Gargano runs in with a referee shirt to do the count. Despite her husband helping and hitting Shirai with the Championship belt, it was not enough as Shirai hits a Spanish fly followed by an Asai Moonsault to get the win. This is a really good match between the two and I hope we get a rematch. I'm slightly gutted that LeRae didn't win but I feel she will be the Champion in the future.

Winner: Io Shirai (2 for 4)

The main event is for the NXT Championship as Kyle O'Reilly challenges Finn Balor. Balor and O'Reilly go toe-to-toe for the vast majority of the match, before Balor comes close after hitting a 1916 DDT. O'Reilly tries to get Balor to submit. However, in the end, Balor hits the Coup de Grace to get the win. This was a really enjoyable match and I was impressed by both guys. Afterwards, Ridge Holland desposits a beat up Adam Cole at ringside. A feud between Cole and Holland would be interesting to see. 

Winner: Finn Balor (3 for 5)

TakeOver 31 was a good show to watch. NXT most of the time hit the nail on the head and this is another example of that. I'm looking forward to seeing Ember Moon make her comeback and whether they will keep making Kyle O'Reilly a main eventer or treat it as an one off. Based on his match with Balor, I'm hoping for the former.

WWE TLC 2020 Preview

 

The final WWE Pay-Per-View of the year, TLC, will be taking place this evening at Tropicana Field in Tampa, Florida. At the time of writing, there are only 6 matches on the card so, let's take a look.

The New Day vs The Hurt Business

RAW Tag Team Championship

This could be a good match and I think that The New Day will retain.

Predicted Winners: The New Day

Sasha Banks vs Carmella

Smackdown Women's Championship

I might be in the minority here but I'm going for Carmella to get the win.

Predicted Winner: Carmella

Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler vs Asuka and TBD

Women's Tag Team Championship

I feel that Jax and Baszler will retain.

Predicted Winners: Nia Jax ans Shayna Baszler

"The Fiend" Bray Wyatt vs Randy Orton

Firefly Inferno Match

Yeah...I'm not looking forward to this based on their last rivalry a few years ago. I'm going for Wyatt to win just because.

Predicted Winner: Bray Wyatt

Drew McIntyre vs AJ Styles

TLC Match for the WWE Championship

I'm quite looking forward to this one and I think that McIntyre will retain.

Predicted Winner: Drew McIntyre

Roman Reigns vs Kevin Owens

TLC Match for the Universal Championship

Whilst I like Owens, I can see Reigns being Champion til Wrestlemania. Therefore, I'm going for him to retain.

Predicted Winner: Roman Reigns

I'm going to try and watch this over the next month. I hope you all enjoy the show.

Clash of Champions 2020 Review

WWE Clash of Champions took place on the 27th September at the WWE Thunderdome at the Amway Center in Orlando. We have 8 matches on the card so, let's take a look.

The match on the Kick Off Show was The Lucha House Party challenging Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura for the Smackdown Tag Team Championship. Cesaro and Nakamura focus on Lince Dorado for most of the match and, despite a brief fightback, they get the win after a Giant Swing/Kinsasha combo on Kalisto. I thought this was a good match between the two teams.

Winners: Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura (1 for 1)

The first match of the show is a triple threat ladder match between Jeff Hardy, AJ Styles and Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Championship. After a time of the three of them destroying each other, Zayn remembers that he brought some handcuffs with him. He proceeds to handcuff Hardy's ear lobe to a ladder but is initially unsuccessful with doing the same to Styles. Zayn eventually handcuffs himself to Styles, forcing Styles to carry Zayn on his shoulders up a ladder. When Styles gets distracted dealing with Hardy, who had to take the ladder he was handcuffed to with him, Zayn uses a key to get out of the handcuffs and then handcuff Styles to the ladder. With his opponents incapacitated, Zayn climbs up the other side of the ladder and grabs the belts to win the match. I quite enjoyed the match and I'm happy that Zayn got back the Championship that he, technically, got screwed out by WWE. I also thought the ending of the match was very clever.

Winner: Sami Zayn (2 for 2)

After we see Drew Gulak pin R-Truth to become the 24/7 Champion, we get Zelina Vega challenge Asuka for the RAW Women's Championship. Asuka initially underestimates Vega but she injures her left arm, giving Vega an opportunity to get the advantage. After a few pinning combinations, Asuka manages to get Vega to submit to the Asuka Lock and get the win. I thought that the match could have been better. Vega is a good wrestler but she hasn't wrestled much since joining the WWE so it might be ring rust. 

Winner: Asuka (3 for 3)

The next match is Apollo Crews challenging Bobby Lashley for the United States Championship. Crews comes close after hitting a standing shooting star press followed by a frog splash. However, Lashley hits a standing spine buster then gets Crews to submit to the Hurt Lock to get the win. The match was pretty decent.

Winner: Bobby Lashley (4 for 4)

Next is Andrade and Angel Garza challenging The Street Profits for the RAW Tag Team Championship. Despite Montez Ford getting worn down by Andrade and Garza, The Street Profits managed to recover and Dawkins hits The Anointment on Garza to get the win, despite the referee missing Garza getting his shoulder up. I thought it was a bit short but it was a fun match.

Winners: The Street Profits (4 for 5)

After R-Truth regains the 24/7 Championship, Bayley comes out and issues an open challenge. Asuka accepts and we get a impromptu match for the Smackdown Women's Championship. After a few minutes, Bayley attacks Asuka with a steel chair, getting herself disqualified and giving Asuka the win. Afterwards, Sasha helps Bayley celebrate by hitting her with a steel chair and a kendo stick. The match was just used to advance a story between Sasha and Bayley. I don't mind that normally but I wouldn't have used Asuka to do it.

Winner: Asuka (N/A)

 The penultimate match is for the WWE Championship as Randy Orton challenges Drew McIntyre in an ambulance match. Throughout the match, people that Orton attacked over the last few weeks turn up to get their revenge. The first was The Big Show, who choke slammed Orton. This was followed by Christian, who attacked Orton when they were backstage; and Shawn Michaels, who hit Orton with Sweet Chin Music. In the end, McIntyre manages to get Orton in the ambulance and punts him before shuttting the doors and getting the win. The match was quite good and it was pretty cool seeing Orton get his comeuppance from some of the people he attacked.

Winner: Drew McIntyre (5 for 6)

The main event is Jey Uso challenging Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship. Reigns is completely dominant for most of this match. Jey makes a comeback and comes close after hitting an Uso Splash. However, he is hit by a low blow by Reigns while he was kicking out. Reigns goes on to hit 2 spears and beats up Jey, forcing Jimmy to come out and throw in the towel, giving Reigns the win. I thought this was a good match and it really set Reigns' heel turn in stone with the way he brutalised Jey. 

Winner: Roman Reigns (6 for 7)

I thought that Clash of Champions was an ok event. The ladder match and the main event were good but the rest of the matches were just ok to me. I do wonder whether the next event will be more of the same.

NXT TakeOver: WarGames 2020 Preview

 NXT TakeOver: WarGames will be taking place this evening at the WWE Performance Center. There are 5 matches on the card, including 2 WarGames matches; so let's look at the card.

Timothy Thatcher vs Tommaso Ciampa

This will be a brutal affair and I feel that Ciampa will get the win here.

Predicted Winner: Tommaso Ciampa

Dexter Lumis vs Cameron Grimes

Strap Match

This should be fun to watch. A tough call but I'm going for Grimes to find a way to win.

Predicted Winner: Cameron Grimes

Leon Ruff vs Johnny Gargano vs Damien Priest

Triple Threat Match for the North American Championship

Another tough one to call but I'm going for Ruff to retain.

Predicted Winner: Leon Ruff

Team Shtozi (Shotzi Blackheart, Ember Moon, Io Shirai and Rhea Ripley) vs Team Candice (Candice LeRae, Dakota Kai, Raquel Gonzalez and Toni Storm)

WarGames Match

I'm quite looking forward to this one and I feel that Team Shotzi will get the win.

Predicted Winners: Team Shotzi

The Undisputed Era vs Pat McAfee, Oney Lorcan, Danny Burch and Pete Dunne

WarGames Match

The Undisputed Era's tradition of having a WarGames match continues and this should be fun to watch. I'm really torn on this one as I can see both teams winning. I'm going for The Undisputed Era to get the win.

Predicted Winners: The Undisputed Era

I'm still massively behind on the shows; hopefully I get to watch over the next month. I hope you all enjoy the show.

WWE Survivor Series 2020 Preview

 

WWE Survivor Series will be taking place this evening at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. Not only will we have our usual RAW vs Smackdown matchups but WWE will be celebrating 30 years of the Undertaker. So, let's take a look at the card.

Bobby Lashley vs Sami Zayn

This should be a good contest and I'm going for Zayn to win.

Predicted Winner: Sami Zayn

The New Day vs The Street Profits

This is one that I'm quite looking forward to seeing. I'm going for The New Day to win.

Predicted Winners: The New Day

Asuka vs Sasha Banks

The two Women's Champions face off in what could be an interesting contest. I'm going for Asuka to win.

Predicted Winner: Asuka

Team RAW (AJ Styles, Keith Lee, Sheamus, Braun Strowman and Riddle) vs Team Smackdown (Kevin Owens, Jey Uso, King Corbin, Seth Rollins and Otis)

Men's Survivor Series Elimination Match

I'm going for RAW to win this one.

Predicted Winners: Team RAW

Team RAW (Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Lana, Lacey Evans and Peyton Royce) vs Team Smackdown (Bianca Belair, Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Bayley and Natalya)

Women's Survivor Series Elimination Match

I feel like Team Smackdown will find a way to win and Nia Jax will continue her weekly tradition of putting Lana through a table.

Predicted Winners: Team Smackdown

Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns

The WWE Champion takes on the Universal Champion in what I feel will be a brutal encounter. I may be biased but I'm going for McIntyre to win.

Predicted Winner: Drew McIntyre

It will be a while before I get to see this. I hope you all enjoy the show.

WWE Payback 2020 Review

WWE Payback 2020 took place on Sunday 30th August at the Amway...sorry, The WWE Thunderdome. I'm really sorry for being so behind with the Pay-Per-Views. A combination of things have led to me putting WWE on the back burner. Anyway, let's start with the catch up and take a look at the show. 

The match on the Kick Off Show was The Riott Squad taking on The IIonics. Liv Morgan and Ruby Riott struggle to work together during the match and Billie Kay and Peyton Royce take advantage of that. In the end, Kay gets hit with a double knees followed by a Riott Kick to give The Riott Squad the win. The match was quite good and I liked the story that they told in the ring.

Winners: The Riott Squad (1 for 1)

The first match of the event is for the United States Championship as Bobby Lashley challenges Apollo Crews. Lashley gets the win after getting  Crews to submit to a Full Nelson and becomes the new United States Champion. This was a good match between the two.

Winner: Bobby Lashley (2 for 2)

The next match is Big E taking on Sheamus. Sheamus goes for the Brogue Kick but Big E catches him and hits a power bomb followed by The Big Ending to get the win. The match was pretty decent.

Winner: Big E (3 for 3)

Next is King Corbin taking on Matt Riddle. Corbin hits Riddle with a clothesline as soon as he entered the ring. The match was hard hitting at times and after hitting a Bro to Sleep, Riddle hits a Floating Bro to get the win. Corbin doesn't take the loss well and attacks Riddle backstage afterwards. The match was ok.

Winner: Matt Riddle (4 for 4)

We now get our second Championship match as Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax team up to challenge Bayley and Sasha Banks. Despite Bayley and Banks wearing down their opponents for most of the match; Baszler and Jax managed to put their differences aside and Baszler gets Bayley to submit to a Kirifuda Clutch while at the same time, having Banks legs trapped in a cloverleaf. While it seemed slightly similar to the women's tag team match earlier in the night, it was a good match and I really liked how it ended.

Winners: Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax (4 for 5)

Next is Keith Lee taking on Randy Orton. Lee manages to get the win after stopping a RKO amd hitting a Spirit Bomb. The ending did seem a bit out of nowhere as I expected Lee to get the win using the Big Bang Catastrophe. The match was quite good but I really hate Lee's new music.

Winner: Keith Lee (4 for 6)

The penultimate match is Dominik and Rey Mysterio taking on Murphy and "The Monday Night Messiah" Seth Rollins. Murphy tries to kick Rey but accidentally hits Rollins in the head instead. The Mysterios take advantage and Dominik hits a 619 followed by a Frog Splash on Murphy to get the win. I thought this was a fun match to watch. 

Winners: Dominik and Rey Mysterio (5 for 7)

The main event is "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt defending his Universal Championship against Braun Strowman and apparently, Roman Reigns. On the Smackdown beforehand, Reigns refused to sign the match contract and vowed to do it at Payback. During the night, Kayla Braxton asked Reign's new manager Paul Heyman if he had signed it but was not given a definitive answer. So, keep that in mind. Anyway, Strowman doesn't fuck around and attacks Wyatt at the end of his entrance. The bell rings even though Reigns hasn't entered and they go on to beat the fuck out of each other. After a super plex that broke the ring, Reigns makes his appearance, signs the contract and enters the match. He goes on to hit a Spear on Strowman to get the win and become the new Universal Champion.

Erm...right, the match was fine but a lot of the things surrounding it doesn't make sense. First of all, there is no way in hell that Reigns would do what he did regarding the contract. Surely, he would have been given a deadline, right? If Reigns was taking part, why did the referee ring the bell when after Strowman attacked Wyatt? And also, what was the point of Wyatt being the Champion? I understand the need of transitional Champions. However, I didn't see the need for it, especially as it further weakened Wyatt. Anyway, it looks like Reigns is going full heel now and I'm interested to see where that goes.

Winner: Roman Reigns (5 for 8)

I thought Payback was pretty decent with a lot of good matches. However, the story surrounding the main event was dumb and ruined it for me. I've seen bits of Reigns heel run over the last couple of months and it's been ok. Hopefully, WWE won't find a way to fuck it up.

WWE Hell in a Cell 2020 Preview

 

WWE Hell in a Cell will be taking place this evening at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. At the time of writing, there are only 5 matches on the card, including 3 Hell in a Cell matches. So, let's take a look.

Otis vs The Miz

This match is for the Money in the Bank briefcase and, nothing against Otis, but I feel that Miz will win this.

Predicted Winner: The Miz

Jeff Hardy vs Elias

A tough one but I feel that Elias will win this one.

Predicted Winner: Elias

Bayley vs Sasha Banks

Hell in a Cell Match for the Smackdown Women's Championship

I feel that Sasha will win and end the reign of Bayley.

Predicted Winner: Sasha Banks

Drew McIntyre vs Randy Orton

Hell in a Cell Match for the WWE Championship

I think that McIntyre will retain here.

Predicted Winner: Drew McIntyre

Roman Reigns vs Jey Uso

Hell in a Cell Match "I Quit" Match for the Universal Championship

Roman Reigns should retain here.

Predicted Winner: Roman Reigns

I'm really behind on the PPVs so I'll get to this show at some point. I hope you all enjoy the show.

WWE SummerSlam 2020 Review

SummerSlam 2020 took place on Sunday 23rd August 2020 at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. We get the PPV debut of the Thunderdome so let's take a look and see how it goes.

The match on the Kick Off Show is for the United States Championship as MVP challenges Apollo Crews. MVP goes for the Playmaker but Crews avoids it and hits the Backdrop Powerbomb to get the win. The match was ok.

Winner: Apollo Crews (0 for 1)

The first match of the show is for the Smackdown Women's Championship as Asuka challenges Bayley. The end comes when Asuka goes for the hip attack but hits Sasha Banks instead. Bayley then rolls up Asuka to get the win. Afterwards, Sasha and Bayley continue to beat up Asuka. The match was quite good and I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out when Asuka faces Sasha Banks later on. 

Winner: Bayley (0 for 2)

The next match is for the RAW Tag Team Championship as Andrade and Angel Garza challenge The Street Profits. During the match, Zelina Vega goes up to the apron to argue with the referee and gets accidentally knocked off by Montez Ford. When Andrade goes to check on her, he misses the chance to get tagged in by Garza. The Street Profits take advantage and hit a spine buster followed by a From the Heavens to get the win and retain the Titles. I quite enjoyed the match and it looks like they're teasing a break up between Andrade and Garza. I hope they don't do that as I think they work well together. 

Winners: The Street Profits (1 for 3)

The following match is one that I was quite looking forward to seeing; Mandy Rose taking on Sonya Deville in a No Disqualification Loser Leaves WWE Match.  After using a couple of steel chairs and a table, Rose hits an Implant Buster followed by a running knee to get the win. The match wasn't as good as it could have been as I feel that they didn't really take advantage of the no disqualification stipulation. I'm gutted that Deville lost as I feel that she has improved a lot recently. However, she has to deal with a court case involving someone stalking her. So, hopefully, that will be resolved soon and she can come back and continue to improve.

Winner: Mandy Rose (2 for 4)

Next is "The Monday Night Messiah" Seth Rollins taking on Dominik Mysterio in a Street Fight. During the match, Dominik's mum comes out and Rey Mysterio goes over to her. Rollins' lackey Murphy starts attacking Dominik, forcing Mysterio to get involved and the match degenerates into a cluster fuck. In the end, Dominik goes for a  frog splash but Rollins gets his knees up. Rollins then hits the Blackout to get the win. I thought the match was good. However, I do question the placement of the match in the show. We had 2 no disqualification matches in a row and I feel that limited the women's match beforehand. As for Dominik, considering that this was first singles match on the second biggest show of the year, I thought he did a good job. 

Winner: Seth Rollins (3 for 5)

We now get Asuka's second match of the night as she challenges Sasha Banks for the RAW Women's Championship. Sasha focuses on the knee that she injured earlier then goes to try to get Asuka to submit to the Banks Statement. However, Asuka manages to get Sasha to submit to the Asuka Lock to get the win. I thought this was a pretty good match.

Winner: Asuka (3 for 6)

The penultimate match is for the WWE Championship as Randy Orton challenges Drew McIntyre. During the match, both guys get cut slightly: McIntyre from an eye gouge not seen by the referee; and Orton from a Future Shock DDT. McIntyre goes for the Claymore Kick but misses. When Orton goes for a RKO, McIntyre manages to reverse it into a backslide and get the win...? Erm, ok. The match was good although the ending seemed to be underwhelming.

Winner: Drew McIntyre (4 for 7)

The main event is for the Universal Championship as "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt challenges Braun Strowman in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. The match goes briefly to the Gorilla position then back to the ring. Strowman exposes the wood in the ring but that turned out to be a bad idea as Wyatt hits 2 Sister Abigails onto the wood to get the win. Afterwards, Roman Reigns makes his return, spears both Wyatt and Strowman then proceeds to fuck them both up with a steel chair. In the terms of the match, it was quite good although, considering how much she was featured in the pre match video, that Alexa Bliss wasn't involved in some way. As for the return of Reigns, I'm not a big fan of him but I'm glad he's back.

Winner: Bray Wyatt (5 for 8)

I thought that SummerSlam was a pretty good event. It was good to see fans there, albeit virtually, and it made for a better atmosphere. 

NXT TakeOver 31 Preview

 

NXT TakeOver 31 will be taking place this evening at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. There are only 5 matches on the card, so let's take a look.

Kushida vs Velveteen Dream

This should be an entertaining match and I'm going for Dream to win.

Predicted Winner: Velveteen Dream

Santos Escobar vs Isaiah "Swerve" Scott

NXT Cruiserweight Championship

I would love Scott to win. However, I feel that that Escobar will retain.

Predicted Winner: Santos Escobar

Damien Priest vs Johnny Gargano

NXT North American Championship

Priest should retain here.

Predicted Winner: Damien Priest

Io Shirai vs Candice LeRae

NXT Women's Championship

A tough one to call but I'm going for LeRae to win here.

Predicted Winner: Candice LeRae

Finn Balor vs Kyle O'Reilly(??)

NXT Championship

Nothing against O'Reilly but I never saw him being a challenger to the NXT Championship. I can see this being a good match and I think that Balor will retain.

Predicted Winner: Finn Balor

It will be a few weeks before I get to see it so I hope you enjoy the show.

NXT TakeOver XXX Review

 NXT TakeOver XXX took place on Sunday 22nd August at Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida. I'm trying a new way of reviewing these shows, which will be how the match ends and general thoughts about it. I appreciate any feedback about this new format.

Anyway, we had a match on the Kick Off Show, which was a triple threat tag team match between Breezango, Legado del Fantasma and Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch. Breeze gets the win after hitting Lorcan with a super kick. I was surprised that Breezango won.  Legado del Fantasma have been on fire over the last few weeks and I thought this would be the next step up. Having said that, it makes sense that Breezango would get the win here. 

Winners: Breezango (0 for 1)

The first match was Finn Balor taking on Timothy Thatcher. This was match in which you saw Balor use his high flying offence but struggle to deal with Thatcher's style of putting you in holds that hurt you. Despite Thatcher almost getting Balor to submit a few times with a single leg Boston Crab, Balor managed to overcome his injured ankle to hit a 1916 DDT and get the win. it would have been nice to see Thatcher get the win but Balor getting the win was the right call. The match was probably not as exciting as previous Balor matches have been in NXT but this was still an entertaining contest.

Winner: Finn Balor (1 for 2)

Now, a match I was really looking forward to seeing: Johnny Gargano, Damian Priest, Bronson Reed, Velveteen Dream and Cameron Grimes facing each other in a ladder match for the vacant North American Championship. Gargano gets some help from his wife, Candice LeRae, but she gets taken out when Reed, with her on his back, splashes Gargano from the ladder. At the end of match that had some insane spots, Gargano and Priest fight it out on top of a ladder. Gargano is pushed off and Priest grabs the belt to get the win. This match was really entertaining. Having said that, I felt like it had too many false finishes. As for Priest, I think he'll do a good job being North American Champion.

Winner: Damian Priest (1 for 3)

The next match is Adam Cole (Bay Bay!) taking on Pat McAfee. Despite McAfee putting up more of a fight than I thought he should have, Cole gets the win with a Panama Sunrise. I had mixed feelings about this match. I thought it was a bit weird that the biggest heel in NXT for at least 3 years was now a face against a celebrity. However, McAfee does portray himself as an arrogant jerk so it made sense. While I was quite impressed with McAfee's wrestling ability, it doesn't mean that we should have more celebrities wrestling in NXT. Save that for the main roster.

Winner: Adam Cole (1 for 4)

The penultimate match is for the NXT Women's Championship as Dakota Kai challenges Io Shirai. Kai gets some help from Raquel Gonzalez during the match, especially when the referee is briefly taken out. However, it is not enough as Shirai hits a Moonsault to get the win and retain the title. Afterwards, Gonzalez doesn't take the loss well and attacks Shirai but Rhea Ripley comes in to make the save. This was an entertaining match between the two and it looks like Shirai's next challenge will be Ripley, which should be fun to watch.

Winner: Io Shirai (2 for 5)

The main event is for the NXT Championship as Karrion Kross challenges Keith Lee. Kross focuses on Lee's right arm and despite a great fightback by Lee, Kross manages to get the win with a Doomsday Saito from the 2nd rope. The match was pretty good. However, I strongly disagree with Kross getting the win. Keith Lee becoming the NXT Champion was a great story, especially as he was also the North American Champion. Relinquishing the North American Championship made sense but it led to Lee having the shortest NXT reign in history and that is nonsensical to me. The thing is NXT have done this before with Sami Zayn and Johnny Gargano. Both guys became Champion as part of a great feel good story then go on to lose it on their first TakeOver defence. I get that they wanted to put Lee on the main roster. However, due to the pandemic, they're not going anywhere so they could have done what they did with Kevin Owens and have him feature on the main shows while still being NXT Champion. Then, to make things worse, Kross suffered a separated shoulder during the match, leading him to vacate the Championship the following Wednesday. So, not good all round.

Winner: Karrion Kross (2 for 6)

With the exception of Kross winning the main event, I enjoyed TakeOver XXX. All of the matches were pretty good and I'm interested in seeing how NXT goes moving forward.

WWE Clash of Champions 2020 Preview

This has the ability to be a good match and I feel that Rey and Dominik will be victorious here.

Predicted Winners: Dominik Mysterio and Rey Mysterio

I'm torn on this one. Lee should win this but I think that WWE will find a way to fuck up his push and give Orton the win.

Predicted Winner: Randy Orton

Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax vs Bayley and Sasha Banks

Women's Tag Team Championship

A tough one to call but I think that Bayley and Sasha Banks will retain.

Predicted Winners: Bayley and Sasha Banks

Apollo Crews vs MVP 

United States Championship

I don't want them to but I think that MVP will get the win.

Predicted Winner: MVP

Braun Strowman vs Roman Reigns vs "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt

Wyatt has only been Champion for a week ago but I'll be surprised if he loses it. However, Reigns is involved so you never know. I'm going for Wyatt to retain.

Predicted Winner: Bray Wyatt

RAW Tag Team Championship

I think that The Street Profits will retain. 

Predicted Winners: The Street Profits

United States Championship

MVP's buddies Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Lashley, are barred from ringside but I can see them interfering in some way to help MVP get the win.

Predicted Winner: MVP

Dominik Mysterio vs "The Monday Night Messiah" Seth Rollins

Street Fight

I'm quite looking forward to this one. Rollins should win this but I can see Dominik giving him a run for his money.

Predicted Winner: Seth Rollins

Asuka vs Sasha Banks

RAW Women's Championship

Asuka is challenging both of the Women's Champions and I feel like she will lose this one.

Predicted Winner: Sasha Banks

Asuka vs Bayley

In a twist, I think that Asuka will beat Bayley here.

Predicted Winner: Asuka

Mandy Rose vs Sonya Deville

No Disqualification Loser Leaves WWE Match

Predicted Winner: Mandy Rose

Randy Orton vs Drew McIntyre

WWE Championship

I think that McIntyre will retain here.

Predicted Winner: Drew McIntyre

"The Fiend" Bray Wyatt vs Braun Strowman

Falls Count Anywhere Match for the Universal Championship

I feel that Alexa Bliss will be the key factor here and help Wyatt get the win.

Predicted Winner: Bray Wyatt

It will be at least a week before I get to see SummerSlam. I hope you all enjoy the show.

NXT TakeOver: XXX Preview

 NXT TakeOver: XXX will be taking place this evening at Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida. The card looks pretty good so, let's take a look.

Breezango vs The Brit-Am Brawlers vs Ledago del Fantasma

Triple Threat Tag Team Match to Determine the No. 1 Contender to the NXT Tag Team Championship

This should be a fun match to watch. I'm going for Ledago del Fantasma to win here.

Predicted Winners: Ledago del Fantasma

Finn Balor vs Timothy Thatcher

A tough one to call but I'm going for Balor to win here.

Predicted Winner: Finn Balor

Adam Cole (Bay Bay!)  vs Pat McAfee

I'm slightly disappointed that we have a match like this in NXT. Cole should beat the fuck out of him but  I can see McAfee finding a way to win this.

Predicted Winner: Pat McAfee

Dakota Kai vs Io Shirai

NXT Women's Championship

I'm quite looking forward to this one and I'm going for Shirai to retain.

Predicted Winner: Io Shirai

Cameron Grimes vs Johnny Gargano vs Velveteen Dream vs Bronson Reed vs Damien Priest

This could go in a lot of different ways so I'm interested to see what WWE will do here. I'm going for Gargano to win here.

Predicted Winner: Johnny Gargano

Karrion Kross vs Keith Lee
