WTF, Nimona got a Netflix movie It was written by Noelle Stevenson who eventually became the showrunner of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.

This is actually insane, I read this webcomic like 10 years ago back in my webcomic phase. It wasn't great or anything—in fact, it kind a sucked. However, the thing is, webcomics are an extremely niche medium. To see one as a fully-animated mainstream product still blows my mind regardless of quality.

Damn, if the door to webcomic adaptations is finally open. Stuff like: Gunnerkrigg Court, Kill Six Billion Demons, Unsounded, Devil's Candy, and Ava's Demon suddenly look very promising to me.

I'm probably the only who even cares about this. God, why did I have to be such a fxcking nerd back in school?😭

WWE SMACKDOWN REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS


I want to start by saying the video package WWE put together recapping The Usos breaking free of The Bloodline at the start of this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown was absolutely fantastic. Just a brilliant piece of business that really gave proper weight to the story they’ve spent all this time telling.
It really does feel monumentally big.
As if to showcase exactly that, Jimmy & Jey’s music hit to welcome us to the live portion of the show and the roof blew off the damn building. This is what great storytelling does for the wrestlers playing these characters. They’ve always been over, sure, but this is something different.
You can feel this.
They did a hell of a job continuing that story on this show too. Jey made clear right away just how much this entire situation hurts. They’re about to fight their own family, and you aren’t supposed to fight your family. You’re supposed to lift them up, not tear them down. But that’s what Roman Reigns did, it’s what he’s been doing for far too long, and that means it’s time to deal with it.
But they still love him.
He’s still the Tribal Chief.
Forgiveness can be had.
But that only extends to the family. And The Bloodline has a member who is not family and that forgiveness will not be extended to — Paul Heyman.
He was made a central issue here, the guy who has poisoned the well they’re all drinking from. He is a snake in the grass and he has been creating many of these problems.
That leaves an interesting out for both Reigns and Sikoa down the line. And adds intrigue to Heyman’s status in both the long and short term.
Later, when they showed Solo Sikoa walking with Heyman backstage, he bumped into Ridge Holland, who got just lippy enough for Solo to rock him with a Spike because “I’m not in the mood.” Sheamus, enraged by this, demanded a match and that gave us the main event for this show.
Said main event was a fine match, one that ended via stoppage when Sikoa knocked Sheamus out through a barricade on the outside. Then he went after officials who had come down to stop him from doing any more damage, which is what brought The Usos out.
The show ended with Jimmy and Jey putting Sikoa down with superkicks and again making clear Heyman is an outcast and is not welcome. The finish didn’t have the same impact as the open, but the point was made.


All the rest
-Although WWE initially announced a triple threat match pitting LA Knight vs. Santos Escobar vs. BUTCH, that was changed to Knight vs. Rey Mysterio in a singles match. They had one hell of a back-and-forth battle, especially considering it was the first match of the night on a random episode of TV in June. Knight, despite working heel again, was getting a lot of cheers. And then, I’ll be damned, he hit his finish and pinned Mysterio clean right there in that ring. Again, he was cheered for this. Despite that, he attempted a post-match attack but was run off by Escobar.

-Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler defeated Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn to unify the WWE and NXT women’s tag team titles in a match that looked about the way you would think. What was noteworthy was the fact that the moment Fyre & Dawn were defeated they were moved out of the picture, with Raquel Rodriguez being called into the ring to set up the return of Liv Morgan. They’ll be challenging for the titles next. I suppose it makes sense to do this, especially if they want to add another title match to Money in the Bank in London. But it felt like they more or less discarded Fyre & Dawn in the process. Ouch.

-Grayson Waller did yet another episode of “The Grayson Waller Effect,” with Pretty Deadly as his guests. Kit & Elton cut a promo on Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn, who they’ll challenge for the tag team titles in London next week. They took a long time to say very little, namely that they beat a lot of teams to become top contenders. To be fair to them, they were getting boos, and Waller is pretty great just reacting to his guests, but I wasn’t feeling this. Mercifully, The Street Profits interrupted to set up a match between the two. During said match, Wade Barrett popped me by saying folks from the UK are the prettiest, and consider how pretty the guys from Pretty Deadly must be if they won an award for as much over him. They did their best to have a good match, one that saw the heels use the ropes to score a pinfall victory.

-Charlotte Flair had an absolute blast beating up Lacey Evans, smiling the whole way through what was ultimately a glorified squash match. I’m not sure Evans got a bit of offense in, and Flair was clearly having a ton of fun with it. That fun ended when Asuka showed up and attacked her, furiously throwing punches while still wearing the belt. Quite the visual. After the segment, they had Adam Pearce bar Bianca Belair from ringside for their title match next week but he promised she would get to challenge the winner. She doesn’t trust him, of course, seeing as how that played out last time. Anti-hero Bianca is inching closer and closer.

This felt like a strange show. It wasn’t bad, and had a few noteworthy segments, but it absolutely felt like it wasn’t the show it was originally supposed to be. They cut a big match in Bayley vs. Shotzi and never once mentioned it. Very strange stuff indeed.

Grade: C-

I don't know, it seemed like a B- show to me. Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn gave a good showing of themselves, while not as athletic as Cater and Chance, they have great chemistry. It just sucks that they had to lose to Baszler and Rousey just to make way for Liv and Raquel when they are the best tag team among the three.

Pretty Deadly did their thing and I think they did it well. The Grayson Waller effect may have dragged a bit but I thought their match with the Street Profits was fun, I lol'ed when Montez Ford wore Elton Prince's gear. As an aside, Montez Ford's mannerisms kind of remind me of D'Banj back when he was popping.

I also had a blast watching Charlotte dominate Lacey Evans.

Lastly, it's weird that Shotzi v Bayley got cut just like that but I definitely see why one would want to keep Shotzi far away from ladders.

WWE RAW REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS


Bring the Noise
We almost got a moment between Seth Rollins and Finn Balor. You know, the one I feel like I wrote about weeks ago. The Kansas crowd saw fit that Finn got no words in edge wise, which seemingly threw him off. While I’m all in on the crowd enjoying themselves when they pay good money for those seats, there are times when their participation interrupts the television show that is wrestling. And hearing something Finn said sat in his stomach for seven years catches my attention a lot more than a crowd singing Seth’s song.
Yeah, Finn said something. He talked about his injuries from that night seven years ago in Brooklyn and how it derailed his career. He’s not mad about the injuries though, he’s just mad at everything Seth took from him. Seth robbed his momentum.
I think in a different environment, those words strung together in a compelling narrative not interrupted by a crowd and with no pauses, along with a more serious approach from Seth, probably hit harder. But as is, they came off as whining. And Seth responded as such when he said he got better and Finn got bitter. Within the context of that crowd and Finn interacting with them while Seth smiled and laughed, yeah, he looks incredibly bitter. That’s not the look I like for Finn and I’m not entirely sure it’s what WWE intended either.
To clarify, I’m referring to the optics and not to Seth’s words. Seth calling him bitter is fine because he’s the face so of course. Seth saying he wants the old Finn back because that guy has a chance while this new guy doesn’t stand even half a chance also works. That feels like a better route for the next few weeks than simply painting Finn as a bitter guy who never got over the past.
Talking about how he probably lost his edge or even some of his focus though? I’m into that. There’s some sophisticated storytelling chances there if WWE applies the same love and care to their rivalry as they do anything involving the Bloodline.
What stopped Finn from reaching that precipice again? Why did he go back to NXT? Why did he wait seven years to say it with his chest? These are great in-universe questions that I hope this feud addresses. I’m not entirely sure they will since we only have a couple weeks and Seth’s current iteration rarely leaves space for any seriousness.
Hope springs eternal though. But I hope the story plays out in front of a less raucous crowd. Or, at least, WWE has a backup plan because everyone seemed flat footed this week.


B-Sides
Tha Crossroads
First off, shoutout to WWE for finally rectifying this Women’s championship situation once and for all. Rhea Ripley is now the Women’s World champ. The belt looks like Seth Rollins’ belt and all is right in the world.
Speaking of all is right, Dom vs. Cody Rhodes at Money in the Bank is official. Dom continues getting incredible heat and he knows what to do with it. The Kansas crowd cheered Cody harder simply because Dom exists. That’s every heel’s number one job and he succeeds with flying colors every single time. That match in front of a hot London crowd? Sign me up.
That opening segment between Cody, Rhea, and Dom Dom devolved into a Miz sneak attack on Cody. Which led right into the opening match between Miz and Cody.
Solid. Nothing more nothing less. Cody started on top, Miz made it interesting in the middle, but Cody got the W.
Oh, and Cody noted Brock Lesnar’s lack of juevos. Something tells me the Beast won’t like that at all.

Bet Ya Man Can’t (Triz)
I got a little nervous when Zoey Stark got into her promo against Becky Lynch. She took it to 11 way too early and that usually play into Becky’s hands. Zoey sounded like a badly written comic book villain and Becky, like me, looked shocked she took it there. BUT, once Zoey threw down the fight gauntlet, Becky switched into fight mode. So that saved her. Also, the point about Becky blowing up because Nia Jax broke her nose is a tired note already. Trish saying it worked but making Zoey say it truly makes her sound less like her own person and more like Trish’s lackey.
As for the match itself? Once again, solid. Chelsea Green isn’t presented as someone on Becky’s level but she fared well here. While the match never hit the level that Becky vs. Sonya Deville achieved last week, we got something serviceable that kept Becky hot while Zoey looked on perched from a ladder.

Damien
Damian Priest and Matt Riddle killed it this week. I’m not surprised. Neither are you. Damian’s on a serious tear right now and Matthew proved the perfect dance partner. Both men presented equally in a back and forth affair, although the ending surprised me.
WWE set up the idea that Matt might win the briefcase and challenge GUNTHER. That’s not only different for a briefcase winner but makes sense because GUNTHER called him out. That disrespect makes Riddle choosing GUNTHER over Roman Reigns or Seth Rollins pretty logical because he is, in fact, choosing GUNTHER and not the Intercontinental Championship. I can’t imagine anyone liking when standing down from that type of energy.
In short, I expected a Matt win.
BUT, Damian winning sets up more intrigue with Judgment Day as a rift between Dame and Finn Balor looks like a thing. We saw Finn looking very pensive and contemplative this week. We also saw Dame throw the Prince some side eye. After Finn secured his shot at Seth, Dame kept it real with his man: End all this at MitB because it’s causing tension between them.
GUNTHER and Ludwig Kaiser did beat down Matt after this match, “picking the bones” as Dame put it. I foresee revenge. Or, as Doc Holiday put it, a reckoning.

Earthquake
Ricochet vs. Bronson Reed was never about the match. All the back and forth sowed seeds for an eventual three-way brawl between the two men and Shinsuke Nakamura. Shinsuke sauntered ringside and sat at the commentary table. Bronson did what he does best, which means choosing violence, and involved Shinsuke. Shinsuke, tired of Bronson’s crap, attacked the big man and gave Ricochet the L.
Obviously, Ricochet hated that and went back and forth with Shinsuke for a bit. Only a bit because Bronson interrupted their shouting match with more violence. He set up Shinsuke for a Tsunami but Ricochet intervened. Then Shinsuke, with Ricochet’s help, hit the damndest Superplex ever and dropped the big Aussie on his back in the middle of the ring.
But Ricochet and Shinsuke clearly aren’t feeling each other. Ricochet demanded a rematch with Bronson but Bronson’s busy with Shinsuke next week. Shin and Ricochet probably trade blows before MitB, although I think it’s best holding off until the match itself. Let their beef spill over into that match and serve as the reason neither man wins. Then we get them in some ridiculous match at SummerSlam.

Cheat on You
Raquel Rodriguez lost her tag championship with Liv Morgan on the shelf but WWE keeps telling us about her greatness. Example? See this week where it took both Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey to defeat her in a one-on-one match against Shayna. The match didn’t last long but it got the point across. Didn’t do much for me though.

Teacher, Teacher
Chad Gable is a great teacher and Maxxine vs. Valhalla gets one step closer. That’s all you need to know here. That and Maxxine executed an Arm Drag against Valhalla outside the ring during Chad’s match with Erik. The same Arm Drag Chad executed against Erik during the match and the same one he demonstrated to her earlier in the night.
Chad got the win with a Sunset Flip but the real reason for the season was Maxxine and Valhalla.

Eye for a Eye
Couple things I wondered during this week’s main event: How do they protect GUNTHER and when does Matt Riddle show up?
WWE killed two birds with one stone during the third act of a very good main event. Ludvig, the legal man in the ring, fell victim to all the chaos taking place outside the ring when Matt showed up with several WWE officials surrounding him. GUNTHER took his eyes off the tag team championship prize and made a beeline for the Original Bro. Matt fought through WWE’s keystone cops and DDT’d the Ring General on the floor.
That took him out, provided an opening for a red hot Sami Zayn, who finished the match with a Blue Thunder Bomb and retained the Undisputed Tag Team Championships for he and Kevin Owens.
Hopefully this means KO & Sami are done with Imperium, although I’m not sure where they go next at this juncture. GUNTHER’s trajectory is much clearer. He started a fight with Matt and now it’s time to cash that check his mouth wrote. I love the passion and aggressiveness Matt shows here, so I look forward to all the violence their eventual match brings.

I liked Raw this week. Didn’t love it. We got several solid matches and two really good matches sandwiched around okay storytelling. I still lament that segment between Seth and Finn because I refuse to believe that’s what WWE had in mind. But if they did? Whew. Lord help us all.

Didn't really enjoy the last episode of Raw. It would've been a good Raw 5 years ago but given WWE's recent form, this was a miss. Everyone seemed more nervous, they fumbled their lines more often, and the action wasn't enough to compensate.

Just to highlight two standout moments, Becky Lynch told Zoey Stark that the latter had no personality, and then Zoey Stark just went and proved her right. Stark is better than most in the ring but still has a king way to go on the mic.

Furthermore, the crowd really did Finn Balor dirty in his promo. Oh man, they griefed the hell out of him. A less experienced performer wouldn't have been able to salvage it at all. However, we have the potential set up: a possible MiTB victory for Damian Priest followed by an immediate cash-in during the title match between Balor and Rollins when both competitors significantly weakened. Book it Levesque!

One more thing, we both know that Brock Lesnar is going to interfere in the Cody v Dominik match, right?

-I quite enjoyed that Austin Theory was the first person in the ring for this episode and after they showed him there with a mic, they still cut to a video package for Roman Reigns. Theory cut a generic promo before introducing Pretty Deadly, who have a new theme song. They played nice with Theory, leading to the previously booked six-man tag team match against The Brawling Brutes. The match was a ton of fun, one of those chaotic six-mans that used to be the norm when The Shield were doing their thing. The babyface Brutes got all their shit in but it was the bad guys who scored the win when Theory pinned Ridge Holland.

I'm calling it now, teaming up with Pretty Deadly is going to help get Austin Theory over.

WWE NXT REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS
(I know I didn't do any recap for battleground, local man had no strength).

Apostle’s Warning
Carmelo Hayes hit the ring celebrating his win over Bron Breakker at Battleground. Cool, I can get with that. He and Trick Williams did their usual thing and Melo explained the challenge and how he overcame said challenge. Also cool.
But then Noam Dar hit the ring with his entourage in tow and my brain froze. Why is Noam, fresh off a (tainted) W over Dragon Lee, and with a new stable, challenging the NXT Champion at this moment? Then they actually made a match and my confusion remained. I knew Noam vs. Melo sounded like a one night only thing, even as a championship match. I even understood the story logic that Melo got goaded into a match against his better judgment.
The main event started and I still wondered about the endgame. After Battleground, I noted the importance of Melo’s post-Bron feud. Noam, as cool as he is, isn’t it. Especially while establishing his new stable. To that point, I liked the interaction between Oro Mensah, Lash Legend, and Jakara Jackson. Trick put them all over for different reasons that explain their value and roles within this group. Lo and behold, he fell for their chicanery during the main event and got ejected.
At that point, it’s Melo vs four people. Even with the odds against him, I never picked against the champ. My spider-sense went crazy though because I felt something big happening with Melo all by his lonesome.
Nathan Frazer and Dragon Lee made an appearance too. They evened those odds and resumed their beef against Noam. After he cheated during the Heritage Cup match, of course that’s not over yet.
That distraction and disruption gave Melo his second wind and helped him get the W. That’s it, right? Melo celebrates the fact he did it without Trick, shows some respect to Nathan & Dragon, while Noam turns his attention right back to his main enemies.
NAH AH, as Steve Austin might say.
While Melo walked to the locker room and turned his back towards the entrance, a bum ass man accosted him from behind.
Baron Corbin is back in NXT.
I love this move. It puts Melo against a dangerous veteran, a true heel, a big man, and presents different challenges than his previous opponents. To say nothing of the fact it’s easy believing Baron might defeat Melo and take that championship.
NXT showed the beauty of WWE’s free agent designation tonight. Putting Baron in this spot as opposed to the other WWE vet who showed up in Florida makes so much sense. Baron will hopefully do for Melo what Dolph Ziggler did for Bron. If he does, everybody wins.


B-Sides
How About Some Hardcore
Props to Jacy Jayne for starting this match appropriately. I hate when wrestlers start blood feud matches just like any other match in which they compete. She attacked Gigi during Gigi’s entrance and made her choice early. What choice is that?
Violence.
And they delivered on that choice throughout the match. Baseball bats wrapped in rose thorns, cannonballs into trash cans, chains, tigers, bears, oh my! Fittingly, Toxic Attraction ended their partnership, officially, in the most toxic way possible.
Shoutout to both women for putting their bodies on the line and laying it in to each other. Gigi got the win—the right call—thanks to choke slamming Jacy off the cage into a table.
The one thing that annoyed me about the match? Booker T! Book started the match concerned. He said as much to Vic Joseph. But as soon as Jacy attacked Gigi, that concern went out the window quicker than PM Dawn getting thrown off that stage back in the day. Book’s commentary felt inconsistent the whole time.
Guess that’s what happens when your diet consist of no bread, no water, and just meat.

Intro
I wondered what of Mustafa Ali after his impressive showing against GUNTHER at Night of Champions.
Well, now we know.
Ali showed up at the Performance Center during the impromptu tag match between The Dyad and Wes Lee & Tyler Bate. Yes, Tyler & Wes are back on the same page after Tyler proved he still has his friend’s back. Aw, that warms my heart.
But the real story is Ali. After the very solid tag match, in which Tyler got the W for his team, Joe Gacy showed his face and attacked Wes.
Guess who made the save? Mustafa Ali.
He either wants Wes’ championship or he has beef with Joe. My money is on the former but seeing as how Joe Gacy is, well, Joe Gacy, I got no issue with the latter either.
Ali in NXT sounds brilliant through and I hope he shines.

The Promise
Tiffany Stratton’s celebration promo lacked something. Calling it rough is an understatement. While I like Tiffany’s work in the ring and adore her character work, she rarely cuts the live promo by herself in the middle of the ring. She’s awesome playing off someone but still jagged around the edges on the solo tip. Which is fine, she’ll get there.
While promising that she might retire as NXT Women’s Champion since she sees herself as a forever champion, she announced a battle royal next week for a number one contender spot. Of course, this announcement put a bullseye on her back because all the women surrounding the ring almost beat each other just to put hands on Tiffany.
I like them constantly reminding us that the locker room hates her guts. That means beating her isn’t just about the championship but also about shutting her mouth. After that promo, maybe that’s not such a bad idea.
Okay that was mean but I saw the easy shot and took it. I apologize.

Problem
I swore Gallus admitted they snitched on Tony D’Angelo. This week, they made it seem like that’s not the case when Stacks confronted them. NXT might have a mystery on their hands. While the Don sits in a holding cell, Stacks took on Joe Coffey out of anger and thirsting for revenge.
It was okay but not only did I want something longer, but I preferred a non-finish actually. Stacks believes Joe put his friend in jail. He said “snitches get stitches.” Therefore, this feels like something that ends in a no contest because inflicting pain, not getting the W, is his goal.
To that end, however, one might argue Stacks caused himself the W when he tried getting too violent and let his emotions get the better of him. That’s a problem for anyone but certainly someone facing Joe Coffy.
Obviously this isn’t over but I disagree with this first installment in a however long saga.

As I Come Back
While I’m sure some of you know this already since internet.com spoiled it, but Blair Davenport is back in town.
NXT’s masked woman is masked no more as she attacked Dani Palmer and put the roster on notice.

When U Hear The
Cora Jade and Ivy Nile battled but the story is Ava, once again, interfering. She cost Ivy the match and finally, finally we get a match between these two next week. I’m amazed it took this long, honestly, but glad it’s happening.

I’m rather lukewarm on this episode. I loved the beginning and the ending, but the middle parts felt inconsistent. I appreciate forward progress and the news that came from the show, but some backstage segments left me wanting and some live segments didn’t quite hit. But it’s also a table setting episode because next week looks impressive on paper.

So much to talk about here...

First off, King Corbin is back on NXT! I love it when The veterans have an NXT run, it's always a good idea to let the rookie spar with more experienced workers. The A Champion has something to learn from the last man to pin Roman Reigns.

Secondly, I just want to say that while the boys seem to prefer Gigi Dolin, Jacy Jane has her beaten in both in-ring and character work.

Third, Tiffany Stratton as the NXT Women's Champion is a great development. She is the future of the women's division. Too bad about the promo, though.

Finally, Tony D needs more interesting feuds. I loved the gang war story with Santos Escobar but everything since then has paled in comparison. They can do better than this with him.

ValeeLove:
I wasn't quiet. Go back and check the comments. But I'll repeat it again for you; first off those makeups were subtle (intentionally, cos even the athletes knew it to be very weird), second it was done by a minute non-noticable number of people. Why? Cos it doesn't make sense to wear makeup for a sport event. Have you seen Sting or Goldust after a match? Half of their face paint is gone. This is logic. The sweat, scratches, bruises...etc, are reasons it makes no sense to wear makeup in a sports event; coupled with the fact that it could be distractive and counter-productive. Also the hair, even the ladies with little eyeliners still pack their hair. So why is Charlotte's hair exotic and all over the place and why is Bianca's ponytail outrageously long. Can you answer that?

Charlotte is one of the best female wrestlers of all time even with the makeup, hair, surgery or whatever. So it definitely hasn't been counter-productive to her work.

But why is it still only the women? Is it that the men don't carry exotic hairstyles at all? Have you heard of Ink Inc.? Even outside wrestling footballers carry exotic hairstyles all the time.

ValeeLove:
it's one thing to look at someone's work and make criticisms and render valid opinions; it's also another thing to spot something that is wrong with someone's work that should be very unexpected, and commonsensically glaring. For instance; the issue of women putting on make up and having extravagant hair styles for their matches, you want me to jump that one and start analyzing the matches Becky and Trish are having? That's impossible, because there is a level of professionalism that is expected from these companies before we can begin to argue whether their work is good or not; and it's safe to say that right now no single company is operating on that level, not when Bianca wrestles with an outrageously long ponytail. Keep it logical, make it make sense, then we can start criticism and analysis proper.
You can't come and tell AEW that their wrestlers use too much blood and spots when even WWE wrestlers still read from scripts.

This again? You were awfully quite when we showed you evidence of other female athletes doing the same. Furthermore, Bianca Belair still performs amazing feats of strength and athleticism with the ponytail.
