WWE Stomping Grounds 2019 Review

WWE Stomping Grounds took place on Sunday 23rd June at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington. Some of the matches look decent so let's take a look.

The match on the Kick Off Show was a triple threat match for the Cruiserweight Championship as Tony Nese defends his title against Akira Tozowa and Drew Gulak. Highlights of the match include: Tozowa hitting a suicide dive on Nese followed by a cannonball on Gulak; Gulak suplexing Tozowa onto Nese; and Gulak putting Nese in the Gu-Lock, which is stopped by Tozowa hitting a Senton. Nese hits the Running Nese on Gulak but Tozowa tries to pin him with a schoolboy. Tozowa knocks Nese from the apron and Gulak hits a Torture Rack Neckbreaker on Tozowa to get the win. Triple threat matches withthe Cruiserweights are generally good and this one did not disappoint. I'm a little surprised that Gulak won only because I thought he would be Champion round about Summerslam. However, it is thoroughly deserved and I can't wait to see how Gulak does as Champion.
Winner: Drew Gulak (0 for 1)

The first match on the show is for the RAW Women's Championship as Lacey Evans challenges "The Man" Becky Lynch. Becky mocks Lacey and is absolutely dominant in the beginning. However, Becky hurts her midsection and Lacey takes advantage after hitting a reverse DDT. Becky gets back into it and applies an armbar. Both ladies try to win it but Becky gets Lacey to submit to the Dis Arm-Her to get the win. This was quite a good match although I thought that Lacey was a little sloppy.
Winner: Becky Lynch (1 for 2)

Next is The New Day taking on the team of Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. Owens takes out Big E on the apron then him and Zayn proceed to beat the fuck out of Xavier Woods. Woods manages to survive their assault but Owens and Zayn keep on preventing him from tagging in Big E. Eventually, Woods does tag in Big E, who destroys Zayn. Zayn and Owens come close when they hit a Helluva Kick followed by a Pop Up Powerbomb on Woods. In the end, after Big E spears Zayn off the apron, Owens hits a Stunner on Woods to get the win. This was a good match and I enjoyed the story that they told with Owens and Zayn taking out Big E at the beginning and focusing their assault on Woods.
Winners: Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens (2 for 3)

We now get a match that I was quite looking forward to seeing: Ricochet challenging Samoa Joe for the United States Championship. After mocking Ricochet, Joe sends him into the side of the ring to get the advantage. Ricochet hits 2 step up enziguris, giving him the chance to get back some momentum. Joe manages to apply the Coquina Clutch but Ricochet gets out of it by going through the ropes. He then goes on to hit a code breaker followed by the 630 Splash to get the win. This was a fun match to watch and I'm happy that Ricochet got the win.
Winner: Ricochet (3 for 4)

Next up is the Smackdown Tag Team Championship match as Heavy Machinery challenges "The New" Daniel Bryan and Rowan. Otis and Tucker use their strength to keep Bryan down. Bryan manages to tag in Rowan and he mows down Tucker with a running crossbody. Later on, Rowan hits his shoulder on the ring post and this gives Tucker the chance to tag in Otis. He goes on to hit the Caterpillar on Bryan. However, in the end, after Tucker takes out Rowan, Bryan puts him in a small package to get the win. This was a fun, back and forth match between the teams, which was a pleasant surprise. We all know how awesome Bryan is but I wasn't sure how this would go. After this, I was impressed with Heavy Machinery and hopefully, they will get another opportunity.
Winners: Daniel Bryan and Rowan (4 for 5)

We now get our second Women's Championship match as Alexa Bliss challenges Bayley for the Smackdown Women's Championship, even though Alexa is from RAW (go figure). Anyway, Alexa bounces Bayley's head off the turnbuckle to get the advantage. Alexa slaps Bayley in the face and she doesn't take well and clotheslines Alexa. Bayley starts her comeback and after she hits a sunset flip bucklebomb, Bayley hits Nikki Cross with a suicide dive when she was checking on Alexa. Alexa takes advantage of it and tries to hit Twisted Bliss. However, Bayley get the knees up then hits Belly-to-Bayley to get the win. The match was pretty good although I feel that it could have been better.
Winner: Bayley (5 for 6)

Next up is Roman Reigns taking on Drew McIntyre. McIntyre goes after Reigns as he is coming the aisle and the bell rings when they take the fight into the ring. After Reigns hits McIntyre with a suicide dive, he chases after "The Best in the World" Shane McMahon. However, McIntyre intercepts him and goes on to press his advantage with some help from Shane. McIntyre applies a triangle hold but Reigns gets out of it and hits a Samoan drop to start his comeback. Shane tries to interfere but he gets hit with 2 Superman punches. Later on, Reigns hits a Spear but Shane pulls the referee out of the ring. Shane then hits the Coast to Coast but Reigns kicks out. Reigns then goes on to hit another Spear to get the win. The match was pretty good and hopefully, he can move away from this feud with Shane. However, based on what happened at RAW the following night, I guess that isn't happening.
Winner: Roman Reigns (6 for 7)

The penultimate match is a Steel Cage Match for the WWE Championship as Dolph Ziggler challenges Kofi Kingston.  Both guys both try to escape the cage early on before Ziggler gets the momentum. They spend most of the match throwing each other into the cage along with a few slaps. Kofi comes close after hitting a springboard crossbody and they end up fighting on top of the cage, falling to the ring after a headbutt. Kofi inadvertently gets the win after Ziggler almost superkicks him out of the door. In the end, Ziggler is on the verge of crawling out of the door but Kofi dives over him to the floor to get the win. Whilst I enjoyed the ending, I felt that it was a slow paced match, which surprised me. I feel that they could have had a better match.
Winner: Kofi Kingston (7 for 8)

The main event is Baron Corbin challenging Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship with a referee chosen by Corbin himself. That turned out to be Lacey Evans. As expected, Lacey lets Corbin get away with murder while doing a slow count whenever Rollins does a cover. Rollins powerbombs Corbin through the announce table and Lacey does start counting him out but then decides to make it a no countout match. After Corbin beats the fuck out of Rollins with a chair, Lacey again changes the rules to make it no disqualification. Rollins hits a falcon arrow but Lacey refuses to make a count. When Rollins confronts her, she slaps him then low blows him. This is enough to make Becky Lynch come out and attack Lacey. The referees come out to stop it and John Cone comes in to referee. When Corbin tries to hit the End of Days, Rollins gets out of it and hits the Curb Stomp to get the win.

I have mixed feelings about this match. Corbin getting Lacey Evans to be the referee, who has a grudge against Rollins' girlfriend Becky Lynch, is a quite clever choice. There were some decent moments but it wasn't as good as it could have been.
Winner: Seth Rollins (8 for 9)

I thought that most of Stomping Grounds was pretty good. Most of the matches were quite good and the Cruiserweight Championship was the best match of the night by a considerable distance. However, I feel that some matches, especially the main event, could have been better.

WWE Stomping Grounds 2019 Preview

The first ever Stomping Grounds will be taking place this evening at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington. There are 9 matches on the card and the best bit is that Shane McMahon isn't having a match. So, let's take a look.

Tony Nese vs Akira Tozowa vs Drew Gulak

Triple Threat Match for the Cruiserweight Championship

I'm quite looking forward to this one as I would love to see Drew win. However, I feel that Nese will win instead.

Predicted Winner: Tony Nese

"The New" Daniel Bryan and Rowan vs Heavy Machinery

Smackdown Tag Team Championship

I think that Bryan and Rowan will win this one.

Predicted Winners: Daniel Bryan and Rowan

The New Day vs Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens

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

Precdicted Winners: Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens

Samoa Joe vs Ricochet

United States Championship

A tough one to call but I think that Ricochet could win this.

Predicted Winner: Ricochet

Roman Reigns vs Drew McIntyre

If Shane McMahon doesn't interfere, then I think that Reigns will win.

Predicted Winner: Roman Reigns

Bayley vs Alexa Bliss

Smackdown Women's Championship

Ignoring the fact that Bliss is on RAW, this should be a good match. I'm going for Bayley to retain.

Predicted Winner: Bayley

"The Man" Becky Lynch vs Lacey Evans

RAW Women's Championship

Nothing against Lacey Evans but I don't think that she's ready to be Champion so Becky to retain.

Predicted Winner: Becky Lynch

Kofi Kingston vs Dolph Ziggler

Steel Cage Match for the WWE Championship

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

Predicted Winner: Kofi Kingston

Seth Rollins vs Baron Corbin

Universal Championship

I'm worried about this one as I can see it becoming a cluster fuck. Corbin will be choosing who the referee will be plus there's Brock Lesnar lurking in the shadows who can cash in at any time. Anyway, I'm going for Rollins to win.

Predicted Winner: Seth Rollins

I will get to watch it over the next couple of days. I hope you all enjoy the show.

WWE Super ShowDown 2019 Review

WWE's 3rd propaganda trip to Saudi Arabia, Super ShowDown, took place on Friday 7th June at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Some of the card looks quite decent in an event that WWE are saying will be the equivalent of Wrestlemania (fuck's sake..). Anyway,  let's get through this.

The match on the Kick Off Show was between The Usos and The Revival. The Usos completely dominate Wilder and Dawson before they do a blind tag to help them take down Jimmy Uso. After a few minutes, Jimmy hits Wilder with a enziguri and he gets to tag in Jey Uso. In the end, The Usos hit a double superkick to Wilder to get the win. The match was ok but I thought it was a bit short.
Winner: The Usos (1 for 1)

The first match on the show is for the Universal Championship as Baron Corbin challenges Seth Rollins. Corbin focuses his attack on Rollins' ribs, that Lesnar fucked up on the previous RAW.  Rollins hits a couple of suicide dives to get back the advantage. During the match, Corbin keeps intimidating the referee John Cone. Eventually the referee starts shouting back at him. This gives Rollins the chance to roll up Corbin to get the win. Corbin doesn't take the loss well and hits Rollins with an End of Days. Then Lesnar, who decided not to cash in after fucking up Rollins a few days ago, comes down to attempt to cash in. Unfortunately, Rollins hits him with a low blow and then proceeds to beat him up with a steel chair and then hit him with a Curb Stomp. The match was pretty decent.
Winner: Seth Rollins (2 for 2)

The next match is for the Intercontinental Championship as Andrade challenges Demon Balor. Andrade goes for the Hammerlock DDT early on but Balor stops it. Andrade gets the momentum after hitting a missile dropkick followed by 3 suplexes. Balor hits a dropkick of his own to start a comeback. Andrade goes on to hit the Hammerlock DDT but it only gets 2. In the end, Balor manages to hit the Coup de Grace to get the win. I thought that the match was quite good.
Winner: Finn Balor (2 for 3)

Next is Roman Reigns  taking on "The Best in the World" Shane McMahon along with Drew McIntyre. McMahon goes after Reigns as soon as the bell rings and McIntyre helps out with a few cheap shots at every opportunity. McMahon goes to grind down Reigns with a chokehold and later on, applies a triangle choke. Reigns manages to deal with McIntyre trying to interfere then hits a Superman punch, sending McMahon flying off the top rope and that gets 2. Shane accidentally knocks into the referee, giving McIntyre the chance to take out Reigns with a Claymore Kick. Shane then pins Reigns and gets the win. Fuck's sake. The match was ok but I feel sorry for Reigns. I'm glad that he wasn't thrust into the WWE Championship picture when he moved to Smackdown but I would rather have that than have him lose to a guy who isn't trained to be a wrestler and looks exhausted seconds into a match.
Winner: Shane McMahon (3 for 4)

The next match is Lars Sullivan  taking on The Lucha House Party.  Sullivan is dominant throughout the match. When Sullivan goes to the top rope, Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik get him off and gang up on him. That, somehow, is enough for the referee to disqualify them ending the match. After the bell rings, they continue their assault then try to leave. However, Sullivan quickly recovers and beats them up on the entrance ramp. This match was shit and completely pointless plus the ending was nonsensical.
Winner: Lars Sullivan (3 for 5)

We now get the revival of a rivalry as Triple H takes on Randy Orton for the first time in singles competition since Wrestlemania XXV. Early on, both guys try to hit their finishers. Orton accdientally hurts his arm, hitting it against the ring post. This gives the opportunity for Triple H to focus on it. However, Orton suplexes Triple H onto the announce table to get the advantage. Later in the match, Triple H hits a spine buster then applies a crossface, forcing Orton to get to the ropes. Triple H goes for the Pedigree but Orton powers out of it and hits a RKO for 2. Triple H eventually manages to hit the Pedigree but it only gets 2. After slamming Orton numerous times onto the announce table, Triple H rolls him back into the ring. However, when he follows him, Orton hits a RKO to get the win. I thought the match was pretty good but it felt that was too long.
Winner: Randy Orton (3 for 6)

Next is Bobby Lashley taking on Braun Strowman. Both guys show their strength and Lashley hits a powerslam for 2. The match goes back and forth and it goes to the outside When they go back into the ring, Lashley goes to the top rope but Strowman throws him off then hits a running powerslam to get the win. The match was ok, nothing special.
Winner: Braun Strowman (4 for 7)

We now get the WWE Championship as Dolph Ziggler challenges Kofi Kingston. Kofi misses an avalanche splash and Ziggler hits a dropkick to get the momentum. Kofi powers out of a chinlock and sends Ziggler into the turnbuckle to start a comeback. After some pinning attempts, Kofi hits a SOS for 2. The match goes to the outside and Ziggler hits Xavier Woods with a super kick when he goes to check on Kofi. When the match goes back into the ring, Woods retaliates with a kick when the referee wasn't looking. Kofi then hits Trouble in Paradise to get the win. Afterwards, Ziggler challenges Kofi to a steel cage match. I thought the match was actually quite good between the two.
Winner: Kofi Kingston (5 for 8)

The penultimate match is a 50-Man Battle Royal. Takng part were: Akam, Akira Tozawa, Ali, Apollo Crews, The Brian Kendrick, Buddy Murphy, Cedric Alexander, Cesaro, Chad Gable, Curt Hawkins, Curtis Axel, Dash Wilder, Drew Gulak, EC3, Eric Young, Erik, Heath Slater, Humberto Carrillo, Ivar, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Jinder Mahal, Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, Mansoor, Matt Hardy, Mike Kanellis, Mojo Rawley, No Way Jose, Oney Lorcan, Otis, Rezar, Ricochet, Robert Roode, Rowan, Rusev, Samir Singh, Samoa Joe, Scott Dawson, Shelton Benjamin, Shinsuke Nakamura, Sin Cara Version 2, Sunil Singh, Hollywood Miz, Titus O'Neil, Tony Nese, Tucker, Xavier Woods and Zack Ryder.  A lot of people are eliminated early on such as the Singhs and Eric Young. Titus O'Neil eliminates both of the Viking Raiders but he gets eliminated by Shelton Benjamin. The final 6 end up being: Ali, Cesaro, Elias, Mansoor, Ricochet and Samoa Joe. Ali and Ricochet team up to eliminate Joe but Cesaro eliminates them almost immediately. Mansoor eliminates Cesaro then Elias to get the win...? Er, what? Nothing against Mansoor but he's only just started being on NXT TV and he seems pretty good. I suppose he got booked to win as he's from Saudi Arabia. As for the match, it was a mess to begin with as it was hard to see what was happening. As it went on, it became a decent match.
Winner: Mansoor (N/A)

The main event is Goldberg taking on The Undertaker for the first time. Goldberg spears Undertaker twice but it only gets a 2 count. When Goldberg goes for a spear in the corner, he misses and busts his head open hitting the ring post. Undertaker takes adavantage and he goes on to hit a poorly executed chokeslam followed by a Tombstone Piledriver, in which Goldberg lands on his head, but Goldberg kicks out. Goldberg tries to hit the Jackahmmer but it's botched and Undertaker lands on his head. In the end, Undertaker hits another poorly executed chokeslam to get the win. Well, that match didn't go well. There were moves that looked poorly executed and moves that threatened the safety of the wrestlers. These are wrestlers in their 50s who rarely wrestle and hopefully this will be the last time they face each other.
Winner: Undertaker (6 for 9)

Super ShowDown wasn't great. There were a couple of good matches but they were some that weren't great and the main event was a disaster. I don't think wrestling in temperatures of about 37 degrees Celsius helped. WWE need to stop pandering to nostalgia and keep faith with their current Superstars then hopefully, with some better writing, the show will improve.

NXT Takeover XXV Review

NXT Takeover XXV took place at the Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut. As usual, the card looks good. So, let's take a look.

The first match on the show was between Matt Riddle and Roderick Strong. In the early going, Riddle hits 3 gutwrench suplexes. However, Strong sends Riddle back first onto the apron to get the advantage. Riddle goes for the Bro-Mission but manages to hit a high angle suplex instead to start a comeback. After some amazing back and forth, Strong hits a powerbomb then applies a Boston Crab. Riddle gets out of it and after trying to get Strong to submit to the Bro-Mission, hits the Bro-Derek to get the win. This was a really enjoyable match and I would like to see them wrestle again in the near future.
Winner: Roderick Strong (0 for 1)

The next match was a ladder match for the vacant NXT Tag Team Championship between The Street Profits, The Forgotten Sons, Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly and Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan. Highlights of the match include: Wesley Blake hitting a suicide dive onto Fish and O'Reilly; Lorcan and Burch hitting a stereo German suplex on The Forgotten Sons;  Steve Cutler powerbombing O'Reilly onto Fish, who was on the ladder; Jaxson Ryker coming in and helping his fellow Forgotten Sons. Blake and Cutler look like they're going to win it. However, Hawkins spears Cutler and Ford jumps onto the ladder. He knocks Blake off the ladder and grabs the belts to get the win. This was a good match and congratulations to the Street Profits on becoming NXT Tag Team Champions.
Winners: The Street Profits (1 for 2)

Our third match is for the NXT North American Championship as Tyler Breeze challenges The Velveteen Dream. Breeze does well in the early going on to injure Dream's left knee. Dream gets the advantage after slamming Breeze's head onto the announce table continuously. Dream goes on to hit a Dream Valley Driver and a Dream-DT but he can't keep Breeze down. Dream goes for the Purple Rainmaker but Breeze blocks and hits The Unprettier for 2. The match goes to the outside and Breeze has to stop the referee from ending it on a count out. Dream tries to hit Breeze with the belt but Breeze grabs it and gives it to the referee. This gives Dream the chance to hit the Dream Valley Driver followed by The Purple Rainmaker to get the win. Afterwards, Breeze and Dream take a selfie. This was a really fun match and I can't see to see how they do in the future.
Winner: Velveteen Dream (2 for 3)

The penultimate match is for the NXT Women's Championship as Io Shirai challenges Shayna Baszler. Shirai goes straight after Baszler but Sharai gets thrown off the turnbuckle then gets her left elbow stamped on. Baszler goes on to focus on the left arm before Shirai hits a delay German suplex. Shirai makes a comeback and is about to go for the Asai Moonsault but Baszler's lackeys Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke but they get fucked up by Candice LeRae with a kendo stick. The match goes back and forth however, Shirai goes for a pin and Baszler manages to get her into a Kirifuda Clutch. Despite her best efforts, Shirai taps out to give Baszler the win by submission. Shirai doesn't take the loss well and fucks up Baszler, hitting an Asai Moonsault with a steel chair. This was good match and at the minute, I can't see anyone beating Baszler. As for Shirai, I was surprised at her post match beatdown as I didn't really think it was earned. It will be interesting to see if they develop that further.
Winner: Shayna Baszler (2 for 4)

The main event is for the NXT Championship as Adam Cole (Bay Bay!) challenges Johnny Gargano. The match starts at a fast pace with lots of reverses and counters. Gargano goes for a superplex but Cole gets out of it and hits a superkick to the calf and Cole goes on to focus on the knee. The match goes back and forth before Gargano puts Cole in the Garga-No Escape. However, Cole gets out of it and applies the Figure Four. Cole applies the Garga-No Escape but Gargano gets out of it and hits the Last Shot for 2. Cole manages to hit a Last Shot of his own but it only gets 2. Cole decides to go "fuck it" and grabs a steel chair. The referee goes to stop him and gets creamed by a suicide dive by Gargano. While the referee recovers, Cole tricks Gargano into thinking that The Undisputed Era are coming down, giving him the chance to get a near fall. In the end, Cole hits a beautiful Panama Sunrise followed by a Last Shot to get the win. Whilst this wasn't as good as their match in New York, and to be fair that's almost impossible; it was still really good. I was quite surprised that Gargano lost but I feel that Cole really deserved it and I'm looking forward to seeing how his reign will go.
Winner: Adam Cole (2 for 5)

I really enjoyed this Takeover. All of the matches were pretty good and fun to watch. The Undisputed Era now have the biggest Championship on NXT and I can't wait to see how they will go.

WWE Super ShowDown 2019 Preview

WWE Blood Money III Super ShowDown will be taking place this evening in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This event apparently will be as big as Wrestlemania (fuck's sake). Some of the card looks good but some looks like they would have been good 10-15 years ago. There will also be a 50-man battle royal involving...men. So, let's take a look.

The Usos vs The Revival
This should be a good match and I'm going for The Usos to win.
Predicted Winners: The Usos

Lars Sullivan vs Lucha House Party
3-on-1 Handicap Match
The Lucha House Party should win this, right?
Predicted Winners: Lucha House Party

Roman Reigns vs Shane McMahon
Reigns should win this but I feel that Shane will find some way to win.
Predicted Winner: Shane McMahon

Braun Strowman vs Bobby Lashley
This could be a short yet fun match and I'm going for Strowman to win.
Predicted Winner: Braun Strowman

Finn Balor vs Andrade
Intercontiental Championship
This match is something I'm quite looking forward to seeing. It's a tough call but I'm going for Andrade to win.
Predicted Winner: Andrade

Kofi Kingston vs Dolph Ziggler
WWE Championship
These guys have fought each other a billion times but never for the WWE Championship. I'm going for Kofi to win.
Predicted Winner: Kofi Kingston

Triple H vs Randy Orton
I love Triple H but I hate Randy Orton so I'm not really interested in this one. I'm going for Triple H to win.
Predicted Winner: Triple H

Seth Rollins vs Baron Corbin
Universal Championship
Seth should retain here.
Predicted Winner: Seth Rollins

Goldberg vs The Undertaker
This match would have been good about 15 years ago. Hopefully, it's a short one and I'm going for Undertaker to win.
Predicted Winner: The Undertaker

I will watch this over the weekend so I'll put up my review next week.

NXT Takeover XXV Preview

NXT Takeover XXV will be taking place tomorrow evening at the Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut. It will be the first Takeover in a few years that will not be taking place on the same weekend as a Pay-Per-View, so it will be interesting to see how it does. As usual, the card looks great, so let's take a look.

Roderick Strong vs Matt Riddle
I'm quite looking forward to this one and I can see both guys winning, I'm going for Strong to win.
Predicted Winner: Roderick Strong

Shayna Baszler vs Io Shirai 
NXT Women's Championship
This is an interesting one. I'm going for Shirai to win, hopefully paving the way for Baszler to go up to the main roster.
Predicted Winner: Io Shirai

Velveteen Dream vs Tyler Breeze
NXT North American Championship
This is a difficult one. I feel sorry for Breeze going back to NXT and I think that him winning would be a backward step for the brand. I'm going for Dream to win.
Predicted Winner: Velveteen Dream

Street Profits vs The Forgotten Sons vs Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly vs Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch
Ladder Match for the NXT Tag Team Championship
This has the ability to be the match of the night. I think that, based on recent episodes, that the Street Profits might win this one.
Predicted Winners: Street Profits

Johnny Gargano vs Adam Cole (Bay Bay!)
NXT Championship
Their match at the last Takeover was phenomenal so I hope we will get a match near to that standard. I would like Cole to win but I think that Gargano will win.
Predicted Winner: Johnny Gargano

It will be a few days before I get to see it. Until then, I hope you guys enjoy the show

WWE Money in the Bank 2019 Review

The match on the Kick Off Show was the Smackdown Tag Team Champions "The New" Daniel Bryan and Rowan and The Usos.  Early on, Rowan hits Jey Uso with a running crossbody to give his team the advantage. Bryan goes for his running dropkicks but Jey reverses the third one into a Samoan Drop and this gives him the chance to get the hot tag to Jimmy Uso. However, when Jey goes for the Uso Splash, Bryan catches him and applies the LeBell Lock, which is broken up by Jimmy. After The Usos take out Rowan on the outside, they then superkick Bryan then hit him with the Double Uce to get the win. This was a fun match to watch.
Winners: The Usos (0 for 1)

The first match on the show is the Women's Money in the Bank Match between Bayley, Carmella, Dana Brooke, Ember Moon, Mandy Rose, Naomi, Natalya and Nikki Cross. Highlights of the match include: Naomi using the splits to avoid a ladder sandwich; Nikki hitting Ember with a spinning neckbreaker; Ember hitting The Eclipse on Natalya from a ladder on the outside; Carmella coming back after after injuring her knee to fuck up Mandy; and Sonya Deville stopping Carmella from grabbing the briefcase. In the end, Sonya has to literally carry Mandy to the briefcase but Bayley climbs up, pushes them off the ladder then collects the briefcase to get the win. I quite enjoyed the match although I didn't think it was as good as last year's.
Winner: Bayley (0 for 2)

Next is the United States Championship match as Rey Mysterio challenges Samoa Joe. Joe kicks Mysterio down but he recovers and gets out of a powerbomb to pin Joe and get the win. Wait, what? That match lasted less than 2 minutes and the referee missed Joe's shoulder being up for the pin. Obviously, Joe doesn't take the loss well and beats up Mysterio. The match was ok but it was ruined by the referee.
Winner: Rey Mysterio (0 for 3)

We now get a steel cage match between Hollywood Miz and "The Best in the World(?)" Shane McMahon. When the bell rings, Shane tries to escape but Miz stops him. Shane slams Miz into the cage to get the advantage. Shane manages to get a steel chair but Miz grabs it and hits a Skull Crushing Finale onto the chair. Miz pins Shane but Shane puts his foot on the rope, which shouldn't be a rope break but the referee stops the count. The fuck?! In the end, Shane starts to climb out and Miz grabs him by his baseball jersey. However, Shane manages to slip out of his jersey to get the win by escaping the cage. The match was ok but this was the second match ruined by bad officiating. Normally, you don't have rope breaks in a steel cage match. However, you can't say there's no rope break for a submission yet say there is one when there's a pin. Plus there's the fact that Shane has beaten a former WWE Champion twice and has now gone to feud with Roman Reigns as well. What the fuck is happening?!
Winner: Shane McMahon (0 for 4)

We now get our second Championship match as Ariya Daivari challenges Tony Nese for the Cruiserweight Championship. After a fast paced start, Daivari grinds Nese's eyes against the top rope to get the advantage. Nese's vision starts to recover and Nese makes a comeback. Daivari goes to hit the Hammerlock Clothesline but Nese kicks out and goes on to hit the Running Nese to retain the Championship. This was a good match between the two and quite enjoyable.
Winner: Tony Nese (1 for 5)

It is the start of a busy night for "The Man" Becky Lynch as she faces the challenge of Lacey Evans for the RAW Women's Championship. Early on, Lacey tries to flee but Becky stops her. Lacey starts to focus on Becky's left arm to get the advantage. Lacey does a dick by wiping off her sweat and stuffing it into Becky's mouth and this is the incentive for Becky to make a comeback. In the end, Lacey rolls up Becky but the referee doesn't count for some reason. Becky then reverses it into the Dis-Arm-Her and Lacey immediately submits, giving Becky the win. Is that Bad Referee Day or something?! This is the third match ruined by bad officiating. I would have some sympathy if this was a real sport but it isn't. Anyway, well done to Becky
Winner: Becky Lynch (2 for 6)

Oh, wait a minute. Charlotte Flair comes out and, because she's not an idiot, demands her match takes place right now. So, it's Charlotte Flair challenging "The Man" Becky Lynch for the Smackdown Women's Championship. Charlotte gets the early advantage and hits multiple Flair Chops and puts Becky in a Boston Crab. After exchanging punches, Charlotte goes for natural selection on the apron but fails and lands on the floor. While the referee does the 10 count, Lacey Evans runs back down and hits Becky with The Women's Right. Charlotte slides in and almost loses to an inside cradle. However, she kicks out and hits a big boot to get the win. Except for the referee almost doing a 3 count on the inside cradle, which wasn't his fault, it was a good match.
Winner: Charlotte Flair (3 for 7)

We still haven't finished yet as Becky attacks Lacey after the match. Charlotte helps out Lacey and they beat up Becky. Bayley comes on to make the save, which ends up with Charlotte missing a spear on Bayley and crashing into the ring post. Bayley is suddenly inspired by Edge's manual "How to be the Ultimate Opportunist" and cashes in her Money in the Bank briefcase. Bayley then hits a Macho Man elbow drop to get the win and become the new Smackdown Women's Champion. I know that Corey Graves bitched about Charlotte not being on her feet when the bell rang. However, there have been times when that's happened in a cash in so I'm not really bothered by that. I'm gutted that Becky lost a Championship however, it leads to a new Champion and diverts Charlotte away to someone else.
Winner: Bayley (N/A)

Next is Roman Reigns taking on Elias. Elias decides to get a head start by attacking Reigns backstage. He then goes on to have a concert in the ring. Afterwards, Reigns attacks him at the entrance ramp. Reigns goes on to throw Elias in the ring and spears after the bell rings to get the win. The match was...well, it wasn't a match was it?
Winner: Roman Reigns (4 for 8)

We now get the Universal Championship as AJ Styles challenging Seth Rollins.  The match goes back and forth in the beginning before Styles hits a knee to Rollins on the outside to get the advantage. It doesn't last long as Rollins makes a comeback with two suicide dives. Rollins comes close after hitting a buckle bomb and a frog splash and later on, Styles hits an impressive torture rack into a powerbomb. Bith guys have some very close near falls including Styles managing to avoid a curb stomp to hit the Styles Clash. In the end, Styles goes for the Phenomenal Forearm but Rollins reverses it into a revolution knee. He follows that with 2 super kicks and the Curb Stomp to get the win. This was a great match between the two and I hope they wrestle again in the near future.
Winner: Seth Rollins (5 for 9)

We were supposed to get the Lucha House Party against 3 randoms but Lars Sullivan turns up and fucks them up. Well, ok that happened.

Anyway, the penultimate match is for the WWE Championship as Kevin Owens challenges Kofi Kingston.  The match starts with them punching each other and Owens hits a superkick to get the advantage. The match goes back and forth and Owens goes for the Stunner but Kofi hits SOS for 2. Owens hits a Pop Up Powerbomb and later on, a Stunner but both times, Kofi kicks out. Owens goes for a Swanton Bomb but Kofi gets the knees up and then hits Trouble in Paradise to get the win. This was a good match.
Winner: Braun Strowman (6 for 10)

The main event is the Men's Money in the Bank with Ali, Andrade, Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, Finn Balor, Randy Orton and Ricochet. Highlights of the match include: Orton slamming Ali, Balor and Ricochet onto the English announce table; Andrade hitting Balor with a sunset flip powerbomb onto a ladder; Ali hitting Andrade with a Spanish fly off a ladder; Corbin catching Ricochet doing a suicide dive to hit a Deep Six; and McIntyre slamming Andrade onto Balor. Ali looks like he is going to grab the briefcase but suddenly, Brock Lesnar's music hits. Lesnar tips Ali off the ladder, climbs up to grab the briefcase and wins...? Wait...what?! What the fuck just happened?! The match was pretty good but the ending was fucking stupid. Lesnar doesn't fucking need this. I find it insane that WWE have gone from having a part timer be Universal Champion turning up about ten times a year to having the same part timer be Mr Money in the Bank. It doesn't make any sense and it was a shitty end to the Pay Per View.
Winner: Brock Lesnar...? (N/A)

Well, I thought that Money in the Bank was a mixed bag. There was some good matches, the Universal Championship match being a particular highlight. However, some matches were ruined by incompetent officiating, which doesn't make sense as this is all supposed to be planned. Then, it goes on to have the worst ending to a Pay Per View possibly ever by having Brock Lesnar turn up for do 30 seconds work and win Money in the Bank. I find it unbelievable that WWE decided to repeat what they've done with Lesnar for the last few years. The briefcase should have used to help bring up someone. Instead, they decided to go back to a part timer for ratings? I don't know Anyway, we now go to Saudi Arabia for WWE Blood Money III Super Show Down. Yay...

WWE Money in the Bank 2019 Preview

The first Pay-Per-View since Wrestlemania, Money in the Bank, will be taking place in the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut. WWE has been going a rough spot with their ratings at the minute so hopefully, this event will help them get better ratings. So, let's take a look at the card.

The Usos vs "The New" Daniel Bryan and Rowan
The match on the Kick Off Show should be a good one although it's weird that Bryan, who was WWE Champion at Wrestlemania, is now on the Kick Off Show. Anyway, I'm going for him and Rowan to win.
Predicted Winners: "The New" Daniel Bryan and Rowan

Tony Nese vs Ariya Daivari
Cruiserwieght Championship
This should be a good one and I'm going for Nese to win.
Predicted Winner: Tony Nese

Samoa Joe vs Rey Mysterio
United States Championship
Hopefully Rey has fully recovered from his injury so we will get a longer match than the one at Wrestlemania. A tough one but I'm going for Joe to retain.
Predicted Winner: Samoa Joe

Hollywood Miz vs Shane McMahon
Steel Cage Match
I thought The Miz moving to RAW would end this feud but I guess I was wrong. Anyway, I'm going for Miz to win.
Predicted Winner: The Miz

Roman Reigns vs Elias
Yeah, I'll be surprised if Reigns doesn't win this.
Predicted Winner: Roman Reigns

"The Man" Becky Lynch vs Lacey Evans
RAW Women's Championship
Becky will be defending both her Championships in two separate matches. It depends on which match goes on first. If it's this one, I think that Becky will win and Lacey will beat her up afterwards leading to the next match.
Predicted Winner: Becky Lynch

"The Man" Becky Lynch vs Charlotte Flair
Smackdown Women's Championship
The feud continues although I thought it would be over by now. I'm going for Charlotte to win if it's the second match.
Predicted Winner: Charlotte Flair

Seth Rollins vs AJ Styles
Universal Championship
I'm quite looking forward to this one and hopefully, it ends clean. I'm going for Seth to win.
Predicted Winner: Seth Rollins

Kofi Kingston vs Kevin Owens
WWE Championship
I would find it insane if Owens wins this although I wouldn't put it past them. I'm going for Kofi to win.
Predicted Winner: Kofi Kingston

Bayley vs Carmella vs Dana Brooke vs Ember Moon vs Mandy Rose vs Natalya vs Naomi vs Nikki Cross
Women's Money in the Bank Match
This is an interesting one. I can see a few of them winning but putting Nikki in for an injured Alexa could lead the way to a feud between the two. I might be in the minority but I'm going for Mandy to win.
Predicted Winner: Mandy Rose

Ali vs Andrade vs Baron Corbin vs Drew McIntyre vs Finn Balor vs Randy Orton vs Ricochet vs Sami Zayn
Men's Money in the Bank Match
Another tough one to call but I'm going for Drew to win.
Predicted Winner: Drew McIntyre

It will be a couple of days before I get to see the show. Until then, I would you all enjoy it.

Superstar Shake Up 2019

The third Superstar Shake Up took place over RAW and Smackdown last week. As well as the usual transfers between shows, we also had call ups from NXT and 205 Live. The people who got moved are as follows:

To RAW from Smackdown

• Hollywood Miz
• Andrade and Zelina Vega
• Rey Mysterio
• The Usos
• Naomi
• Eric Young
• AJ Styles

To RAW from NXT

• War Raiders The Viking Experience
• Ricochet
• Aleister Black
• EC3
• Lacey Evans

To RAW from 205 Live

• Cedric Alexander

To Smackdown from RAW

• Finn Balor
• Bayley
• Ember Moon
• Elias
• Roman Reigns
• Liv Morgan
• Chad Gable
• Apollo Crews
• Mickie James

To Smackdown from NXT

• Lars Sullivan
• Kairi Sane
• Heavy Machinery

To Smackdown from 205 Live

• Buddy Murphy

Right, let's deal with the elephant in the room. The Viking Experience is a fucking stupid name and it only got changed an hour before the start of RAW because Vince McMahon didn't like the name. I'm sorry but Vince had plenty of time to get the name changed before this so I feel sorry for them. I was surprised for them as they are the current NXT Tag Team Champions so I suspect they will lose the Championships by the next Takeover. 

As for the rest of the Shake Up, this has had so many consequences. It has resulted in the break up of two stables and two tag teams and I'm worried for some of them. I like Liv Morgan but she is the least talented one out of The Riott Squad and I can see her being lost in the shuffle. The same probably goes for Chad Gable as well. I'm also worried about 205 Live. The show has improved a lot over the last year and it was thanks to Buddy Murphy and Cedric Alexander. Now that, along with Ali, they are on different shows, I'm concerned about the future direction of the show.

Out of RAW and Smackdown, I strongly feel that Smackdown got the best of it. The addition of Ember Moon, Bayley, Mickie James and Kairi Sane has really improved the quality of their Women's Division. Bayley moving was a surprise as she was in a tag team with Sasha Banks and I assume it's a result of Sasha's unhappiness over the decisions taken by WWE regarding the Women's Tag Team Championship. Despite that. I think she'll do well on Smackdown.

Roman Reigns and Finn Balor going over to Smackdown was also a surprise. It currently means that the United States and the Intercontinental Championships are on the same show so they will change in the near future. I only hope that Reigns doesn't get put in the WWE Championship picture too quickly, especially as we got a fan's champion in Kofi Kingston. 

Overall, as with every Shake Up, they will be winners and losers from this and I'll be interested to see where it goes. 

Wrestlemania 35 Review

Wrestlemania 35 took place on Sunday 7th April at the Metlife Stadium in New York. There are SIXTEEN matches on the card plus we will get to see the first ever women's main event. Let's take a look at the biggest show of the year.

There were 4 matches on the Kick Off Show and the first one is for the Cruiserweight Championship as Tony Nese challenges Buddy Murphy. The match starts at 100 miles an hour before Murphy bounces Nese onto the turnbuckle. Nese gets back in control when he hits a brutal German suplex. Nese goes for the running knee but Murphy hits a knee followed by Murphy's Law. However, Nese manages to get his foot on the ropes. In the end, Nese hits a German suplex followed by the running knee to get the win...Wait, what? Ok, I did not see that coming. The match was pretty decent between the two. I'm still getting used to seeing Nese as a babyface and I just couldn't see him being the Cruiserweight Champion. Despite that, I hope that he has a good title reign.
Winner: Tony Nese (0 for 1)

The next match is the Women's Battle Royal. Taking part were: Dana Brooke, Mickie James, Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan, Asuka, Carmella, Naomi, Lana, Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, Zelina Vega, Maria Kanellis, Ember Moon, Kairi Sane, Candice Le Rae and Nikki Cross. Kanellis is the first to be eliminated thanks to Cross. Ember Moon goes for the Eclipse on Deville, but she gets eliminated by Lana, which pissed off the crowd. The Riott Squad team up to eliminate Lana and Sane before Brooke eliminates Riott and Morgan. The final 5 end up being: Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, Asuka, Mickie James and Sarah Logan. James eliminates Rose but she then gets eliminated by Deville. Asuka eliminates Deville and Logan eliminates Asuka to win the match. No, wait, hang on. Carmella suddenly appears out of nowhere and it turns out she hasn't been eliminated. Logan ends up on the apron and Carmella superkicks her off to the floor to get the win. The match was ok but I have no idea what happened to Carmella during the match. The commentators didn't mention it and it wasn't shown in the replays. Even though Carmella is a face, this makes it a tainted win for me and that's unfortunate.
Winner: Carmella (0 for 2)

Next is Zack Ryder and Kurt Hawkins challenging The Revival for the RAW Tag Team Championship. The Revival spend the early part of the match mocking Hawkins over his losing streak. Ryder tries to crossbody Dash Wilder but Scott Dawson pulls him out of the way and Ryder goes flying to the floor. This gives The Revival the opportunity to wear down Ryder. Ryder back bodydrops Dawson and he manages to tag in Hawkins. The match goes to the outside and Dawson hits Hawkins with a beautiful brain buster to the floor. Dawson rolls Hawkins back in but Hawkins suddenly pins him with a small package to get the win...Wait, seriously? Hawkins ends his 269 match losing streak and, along with Ryder, becomes the new RAW Tag Team Champions?! The match was pretty good. I'm pissed that The Revival lost, especially to a small package out of nowhere. Having said that, it did create a nice Wrestlemania(ish) moment for Ryder and Hawkins.
Winners: Zack Ryder and Kurt Hawkins (0 for 3)

The Kick Off Main Event is the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Taking part were: Michael Che  and Colin Yost from Saturday Night Live, Braun Strowman, Apollo Crews, Titus O'Neil, Tyler Breeze, Jinder Mahal, No Way Jose, Bobby Roode, Chad Gable, Kalisto, Gran Metalik, Lince Dorado, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel, Heath Slater, Rhyno, Konnor, Viktor, Andrade, Ali, Shelton Benjamin, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Otis, Tucker and EC3. As soon as the match starts, Che and jost hide under the ring and we can get a fuck load of eliminations before Strowman gets ganged up on. Gallows sends Strowman into the ring post and to the floor but not over the top rope. The final 5 in the ring end up being: Andrade, Apollo Crews, The Hardys and Braun Strowman. In a dumb move, Andrade eliminates Apollo Crews and himself with a hurracarrana. While Strowman is trying to eliminate The Hardys, Che and Jost reappear and try to eliminate Strowman. Strowman deals with it and eliminates The Hardys. Jost tries to use a therapist to appeal to Strowman. However, Strowman kills the therapist then eliminates Che. He then chucks Jost to a pile of wrestlers on the outside to get the win. The match was more fun to watch than I thought it would be and I quite enjoyed it.
Winner: Braun Strowman (0 for 4)

Wrestlemania starts with a segment involving the host of Wrestlemania Alexa Bliss and that racist piece of shit Hulk Hogan. It ends with Paul Heyman storming to the ring and announcing that because Brock Lesnar is not going on last, he might as well have his match now. So, the first match of the show is Seth Rollins challenging Brock Lesnar  for the Universal Championship. Brock attacks Rollins as he enters the ring and beats the fuck out of him. The bell finally rings to start the match and Lesnar continues his assault, hitting 3 German suplexes. When Lesnar goes for the F5, Rollins gets out of it, pushes him into the referee and hits a low blow. Rollins then hits 3 Curb Stomps to get the win and become the new Universal Champion. I was surprised at how short it was but it was a pretty decent match and it would be nice to see a full time Champion on RAW.
Winner: Seth Rollins (1 for 5)

Next is AJ Styles taking on Randy Orton. Orton gets the advantage with a thumb to the eye followed by a dropkick. Styles gets back into it and applies the calf crusher but Orton gets to the ropes. Orton manages to hit the RKO but Styles kicked out. In the end, Orton goes for another RKO but Styles stops it and hits a Phemonenal Forearm to get the win. The match was ok, nothing special.
Winner: AJ Styles (1 for 6)

After another pointless Lacey Evans walk on, we get our next match, which is a Fatal 4-Way Match for the Smackdown Tag Team Championship. Champions The Usos facing the challenges of Ricochet and Aleister Black, The Bar and Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev. Highlights of the match include: Cesaro hitting a giant swing on Ricochet while Sheamus punches the fuck out of everyone else; Ricochet breking up a pin with a shooting star press; and everyone but Black doing a tower of doom and Ricochet managing to survive it. In the end, The Usos hit Sheamus with a double splash to get the win. This was quite a good match with a few cool spots.
Winners: The Usos (2 for 7)

After we see the Hall of Fame Class of 2019, we get a Falls Count Anywhere Match between Hollywood Miz and Shane McMahon.  McMahon gets the early advantage and is about to elbow drop Miz through the announce table when his father gets in the way. McMahon then starts beating him, prompting Miz to defend his father. The fight goes into the crowd and into the row of international announcers. Miz hits the Skull Crushing Finale in the tech area yet Shane kicked out. In the end, Miz suplexes McMahon off the scaffolding, knocking them both out. However, McMahon has his arm on top of Miz and pins him to get the win. The wrestling wasn't great but it was fun enough to keep me entertained.
Winner: Shane McMahon (2 for 8)

The next match is for the Women's Tag Team Championship as the teams of Nia Jax and Tamina, Beth Phoenix and Natalya and The IIonics  challenge Sasha Banks and Bayley in a Fatal 4-Way Match. Tamina beats attacking the other competitors before Sasha Banks is worn down by Billie Kay and Peyton Royce. Other highlights of the match include: Beth Phoenix suplexing the IIonics; Sasha putting Beth in the Banks Statement; Natalya putting both Sasha and Bayley in the Sharpshooter; and Beth getting hit with a Macho Man elbow drop by Bayley followed by a frog splash by Sasha. Beth hits Bayley with a Glam Slam from the top rope. However, she isn't aware that Billie made the tag on her. When Beth goes for the cover, Peyton pulls her off and Billie pins Bayley to get the win. The match was pretty decent and I'm so happy for Billie and Peyton getting the win. They have been  fun to watch since NXT and I can't wait to see how their title reign goes.
Winners: The IIonics (3 for 9)

Next is Kofi Kingston challenging "The New" Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship. After some back and forth, Bryan avoids a springboard splash to the outside by Kofi and he crashes onto the announce table.  Bryan hits a few running dropkicks in the corner then almost folds Kofi in half with a Boston Crab. Kofi gets back into it and hits the SOS but Bryan applies the LeBell Lock. Bryan goes to the outside and Rowan stops Kofi from going after him. This leads to an altercation between Rowan the rest of The New Day and he is taken out with the Midnight Hour. Back in the ring, Bryan hits the running knee but Kofi kicks out. Bryan again applies the LeBell Lock but Kofi powers out of it. Kofi then hits Trouble in Paradise to get the win. This match was really good and I'm so happy that Kofi won, being the first African wrestler to become WWE Champion.
Winner: Kofi Kingston (4 for 10)

The next match is Rey Mysterio challenging Samoa Joe for the United States Championship. Joe doesn't fuck around at the beginning. However, Msyterio hits a DDT and the 619. Joe then puts Mysterio in the Coquina Clutch and Mysterio passes out, giving Joe the win. This match was less than 5 minutes long, which was a disappointment. Having said that, Mysterio was carrying an injury so I suspect that it would have longer.
Winner: Samoa Joe (5 for 11)

We now get Drew McIntyre taking on Roman Reigns. McIntyre headbutts Reigns to get the advantage. After getting thrown from the top rope, Reigns makes his comeback with punches and kicks. Reigns then hits a Superman punch followed by a spear to get the win. The match was pretty decent.
Winner: Roman Reigns (6 for 12)

After a segment involving Elias and John Cena, we get Batista taking on Triple H in a no holds barred match with Triple H's career on the line. During the match they use a tool box, chains, pilers, a steel chair, the steel steps and a sledeghammer.  Also during the match, Triple H pulls out Batista's nose ring and spears him through the German announce table. Batista manages to hit the Batista Bomb but Triple H kicked out. Triple H powerbombs Batista onto the steel steps followed by a Pedigree, but Batista kicked out. In the end, Ric Flair arrives and gives Triple H another sledgehammer. Triple H then hits Batista with it then hits another Pedigree to get the win. The match was ok and this was the longest match on the show. I really think it could have been shorter, especially when it involves two guys that are round 50.
Winner: Triple H (7 for 13)

We now get the end of an era as Kurt Angle has his farewell match against Baron Corbin. Angle hits a overhead belly-to-belly suplex and 3 German suplexes in the early going. Angle goes for the Angle Slam but Corbin gets out of it and hits Deep Six for 2. Angle hits the Angle Slam but Corbin kicks out. Angle then applies the Ankle Lock but Corbin manages to send him into the corner. Angle goes for the moonsault but misses and Corbin then hits End of Days to get the win. The match was very short but it was quite good.
Winner: Baron Corbin (7 for 14)

The penultimate match is for the Intercontinental Championship as Finn Balor in Demon Mode challenges Bobby Lashley. Balor goes after Lashley before he gets hit with a spine buster. When Balor starts to get back into it, Lio Rush distracts him allowing Lashley to spear him off the apron to the floor. In the end, Balor powerbombs Lashley then hits the Coup de Grace to get the win and become the new Intercontinental Champion. The match was quite good.
Winner: Finn Balor (8 for 15)

After R-Truth and Carmella do a dance break, we finally get our main event. A triple threat match between Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair and "The Man" Becky Lynch for both the RAW and Smackdown Women's Championships. Ronda is absolutely dominant to begin with and later on, she has Charlotte in an armbar over the ropes. Becky hits her with a dropkick, and Ronda lands brutally on the floor. Other highlights during the match include: Becky putting Charlotte in the Dis-Arm HerCharlotte hitting a double natural selection on both women; Becky hitting a Bex-ploder from the top rope on Charlotte; and Ronda putting both guys in an armbar. Charlotte manages to put Ronda in the Figure 8 but Becky breaks that up with a leg drop from the top rope. After Charlotte gets throwin onto a table in the corner, Ronda goes to hit Piper's Pit on Becky. However, Becky reverses it into a crucifix pin to get the win even though Ronda's shoulder goes up during the count.

I thought this was a good, fun match although the ending was slightly botched. From what I read, it seemed that it was a mistake on Ronda's part. The fact that WWE didn't make a big deal of it after the match does seem to prove that. As for Becky, I guess she will defend both belts for the foreseeable future.
Winner: Becky Lynch (9 for 16)

I thought that, despite a few surprising results, Wrestlemania was quite a good show. The main criticism of it is that it is far too long. This finished at after half past midnight local time and that's insane to me. I get that it's their biggest event of the year but hopefully they will make it a bit shorter next year.
