SmackDown results, recap, reactions

Shawn Michaels came out and talked about Triple H’s career. He showed a DX blooper reel of past promos and segments from the late 90’s to DX’s last run. Stephanie McMahon, Ric Flair, and Road Dogg FaceTime into the segment, with Stephanie chastising Michaels for mocking her and called him a no good lazy eyed something as Triple H hung up.
A video package was played of him losing a bunch of times at WrestleManias and then the all mighty Vince McMahon made an appearance. Vince mocked the segment and said that Triple H was boring, while listing off old segments like Katie Vick and Bayley, this is your life, which he said wasn’t Bayley’s fault. (Phew!) He said he loves his son in law Paul and then made the lighting crew turn off the lights to end the show.
This was a light hearted fun segment for Triple H’s 25th anniversary. They didn’t go back to the usual DX reunion type of a thing they normally do with Triple H and Shawn.
Aside from that, personally I’ve always enjoyed Triple H. I’ll never forget, before my long hiatus from WWE from about 2001 to 2012, watching Triple H get his ass whooped by Rock and Stone Cold and even back then, I loved his My Time entrance theme. I had the benefit of falling out of love with wrestling and missing the infamous Reign of Terror, but have watched a bunch of stuff from back then, including the Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H match for the World Heavyweight championship on the last Raw of 2003 which ended up being my favorite of theirs. The Authority was great, too.
I want to thank Triple H for something very important to wrestling though, and that’s NXT. Love him or hate him, he deserves praise for getting that promotion up to where it is today and giving us incredible men like Balor, Owens, Undisputed Era, The Shield, Gargano and Ciampa, and also a reinvigorated main roster women’s division because of Sasha, Bayley, Becky, Charlotte, Asuka, and many others. Congratulations, Papa H!

Big E and Kofi came out to start the show and talked up their tag title victory. They named teams like the Hart Foundation, British Bulldogs, New Age Outlaws, and Edge and Christian as teams they’ve had more reigns than. As Big E lauded over Tom Brady signing with Tampa, Lucha House Party interrupted. They congratulated the New Day for becoming eight-time tag champs, but mentioned having to wait in a never ending line to get a shot at the tag titles. Miz and Morrison interrupted them and walked right by without acknowledging them.
Miz took issue with New Day claiming victory as the result of a singles match, which as I said about the Usos previously, is silly because you did it anyway and never once said it was unfair! I digress. Miz said they don’t deserve the titles and that New Day makes the titles and the tag division look like a joke.
As all this is going on, the Forgotten Sons came out and Steve Cutler introduced himself and his brethren. He was mad that they’ve been treated like trash after serving their country. Jaxson Ryker called Miz a poser for playing a Marine in the movies and they attacked New Day and all hell broke loose.
Someone must have read my pleas for new teams in the past few weeks, because it was quite refreshing to not have the typical New Day, Usos, and Miz and Morrison reprise. That silly trope of everyone needing to cut a promo however… yeah that wasn’t necessary. That other silly trope of interruption after interruption made this segment way too long. Lucha House Party you could argue deserve a title shot, but they did lose their last match. Forgotten Sons, yo, y’all just got here! And you need to work on your promos.
The Forgotten Sons were the highlight here, naturally. Grizzled, new to the main roster, and apparently literal, vets who can strike at any time. Ok, fine. I’m not quite sure exactly what them being vets is supposed to add to this story but hopefully we don’t get their families thrown into storylines like Lacey. No one wants that.

Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross def. Carmella and Dana Brooke - Dana and Carmella started really strong before the break. Really awesome spot where Nikki tagged in as Carmella did the Frankensteiner. This was quick and I did not expect Dana and Carmella to get that much offense in. The finish looked real weird though, with a “modified 3-D” as Corey Graves called it.
Corey, stop trying to make modified 3-D happen. It’s not going to happen.

King Corbin def. Drew Gulak - Drew’s a great mat based wrestler and Corbin is a decent wrestler with probably the most protected finish in WWE. For some reason Sami’s crew decided to side with Corbin here which ok cool, but WHERE’S SAMI?!? I miss you, man.
Also, I will LOVE IT if Corbin wins the briefcase. Absolutely lose it. Yes. Yes, please God, yes.Yeeeeeeeeees.

Lucha House Party def. Miz and Morrison - This was a surprise! Here I was just sittin’ here enjoying a fast paced match, already having typed out Miz and Morrison def. Lucha House Party and I was swerved! Dorado’s springboard stunner was wonderful and Morrison looks perfect in matches like this. Miz ate the pin for the second week and that leads me to believe that we’ll start seeing some dissension soon. My biggest hope is that this continues LHP in the tag title scene and it’s not just dropped because, as I mentioned before, that is definitely something that could happen...and I want it to happen..Miz should be chasing the universal or IC title FFS

Lacey Evans def. Sasha Banks - Sasha walked down the ramp with Lacey’s daughter as a makeshift fan and I am smitten. I appreciated the wrath that came from Lacey. Great finish that saw Bayley assist Sasha without the ref seeing it, but it wasn’t enough and the ref is distracted by her in the ropes while Sasha could have won. This was better than I expected.
After the match Tamina came out and superkicked Bayley on the stage. Sasha being the great friend she is… just stood there. More dissension teased from two teams that were in that intriguing hacker video last week.

Sheamus def. Daniel Vidot - We knew what was happening here. Decent showing for Daniel Vidot. That stare into the camera as he pinned Vidot though. That looked real good. No Sheamus bickering about it this time though, which I was looking forward to.
SIKE! Sheamus destroyed Michael Cole’s headset after the break.

Jeff Hardy’s Redemption - After his downfall, we are treated to the surprise return of the Hardy Boyz at WrestleMania 33. Possibly the loudest pop of the modern era. CM Punk returning in Chicago will be the next one, if that ever happens. Next week will be the conclusion, or rather The Comeback, of Jeff Hardy.

My favorite match ended up being LHP and Miz and Morrison. I always knew that type of match is Morrison’s best and we need more of those. Dorado and Metalik were really good in this sprint and I’m really hoping we get more of them. I’m also intrigued to see Sheamus’ next move regarding Jeff Hardy. Michael Cole might want to refrain from even saying his name next time. The lack of Braun Strowman was odd but I think what they did, even though it’s revisionist history, was better than generic promo, throw to a video package, “At (enter PPV), (enter opponent’s name) is gonna Get. These. Hands.”

I still don't know why Corbin needs help to pin the likes of Gulak,

Average smackdown

I only enjoyed the Triple H 25th anniversary celebration. From the moment a staff took his bottle of water, I knew it would be a different kind of celebration.

How many losses did he have in wrestlemania again? Jesus! grin

Raw recap, review and reactions

one of the best contract signings ever.....Drew signed the contract quickly but Seth talked about how he took the challenge to face Drew out of necessity, not because he wanted to. Because the WWE championship match means something greater than both he and Drew.
He said that Drew will be a great champion someday. He’s a fighter, a warrior, an honorable man, but he’s not a leader. He’s suffered for the title and he doesn’t want Drew to suffer as he did. It was time for Drew to respond.
“It’s clear, you’re completely full of shit.”
He told Seth to stop talking, because no one wants to hear him speak.
Both men stood up and Seth started to say that Drew needed to have faith, but Drew slams his head on the table. Drew counted down for a Claymore kick, and Murphy popped up out of nowhere and took out Drew. Seth hugged him and Drew surprised us with a Claymore kick to Murphy! Drew stared down Seth as the show went off the air.
So here’s why this was the best contract signing.
Everyone’s role was perfect. Drew with that perfect line. Seth’s perfect analogy for the greater good of the WWE championship. Murphy’s perfect role as the Disciple. Everything was perfect. Seth is crushing his Messiah role right now. It’s the most believable he’s been in years. He has fully committed to this and I love it. Drew was fantastic as well calling Seth out for his bullshit. Gosh that was so great. I’m sold more on the match, even though I’d really prefer Owens to make an appearance or come to us live via satellite or something. Next week’s the go home so let’s see what happens.

MVP’s VIP Lounge started the show. Rey Mysterio, Aleister Black, and Apollo Crews (Raw’s side of the Money in the Bank match) were the guests. MVP asked Rey what would it mean to be Mr. MITB, and then answered the question and moved to Crews, who I’ve been waiting to get a promo out of.
So naturally, the Zelina gang interrupted immediately.
Zelina said that people don’t care about them, but about her trio. They used to be the new upstarts people cared about but they didn’t measure up to her men. They should just give up their spots in Money in the Bank for them and walk away. Rey said he knew that they weren’t really there to get spots they didn’t deserve, and the three jumped Zelina’s gang and oh well would you look at that, after the break it’s a six man!
Let me preface by saying, this was actually a very good match. The young upstart Austin Theory did very well with the veteran Mysterio, and with Crews as well. The gang worked over Mysterio after taking care of his tag partners, and it went to chaos from there. Each man got to take control, and Crews… yes, Crews, pinned the United States champion.
As the author of “Apollo Crews cannot be put back on the shelf”, I jumped for joy at my boy getting a crucial and important win. As a big fan of the rise of Zelina’s gang, I slumped down in my seat. Here’s why - Zelina’s gang were booked to perfection just a few weeks ago, when they ran through their own individual opponents and picked off the remaining flesh on the bone afterward. But now? Two weeks in a row they’re the ones picked apart. Color me conflicted. We had to get the “can the opponents in the upcoming pay-per-view work together” trope while stopping the started push of Zelina’s gang. Neither were necessary, even though the match was very good.

Andrade def. Apollo Crews via ref stoppage - So for this match to even occur, Andrade and Zelina had to get riled up enough to give it to Crews. Naturally, Crews had to ask Andrade, “What did the five fingers say to the face?” You know, the standard question one asks in order to get what they want. THE ECHO ON THAT SLAP! Noticeably absent were Theory and Garza, whom Zelina and Andrade said were the cause of Andrade getting pinned before. We’re doing this already? After everything I just said about start stopped pushes?
Both men got offense in before the commercial and Andrade took an absolutely wicked spill to the floor over the top rope. Crews tweaked his knee but was still able to lift Andrade and do a standing moonsault, very similar to his first star making performance with Aleister weeks ago. Crews went for the Frog Splash and Andrade moved, causing Crews to come down hard on the tweaked knee and the ref stopped the match. FUUUUUUUU… ahem. Darn it. This was a fantastic match. There was actually a moment you thought the title change was going to happen, but that damn tweaked knee.

Liv Morgan def. Ruby Riott - Rivalry re-renewed! Morgan stiffed Riott a few times before the first and only Riott kick, which Morgan sold great. Riott sold the shock like Undertaker did for Shawn Michaels. I expected 50/50 booking (another trope!) but alas, I was swerved and Morgan won. This was too short. I really enjoy these two together, but Liv’s stock keeps on rising while Ruby’s keeps on dropping. Let’s let this truly be the end of the rivalry for now so Ruby can pick it back up.
Liv’s promo afterward… not great. They’re doing the relatable “trying to figure yourself out” thing with her, seemingly trying to make us remember she was Lana’s secret lover. Yeah, remember that? No one wants to. Supposedly, recently released Sarah Logan may be back? If she is, where does she fit in here?

A scheduled triple threat that never happened - Keeping with the theme of tired tropes, here’s three women that will be opponents at the upcoming pay-per-view, only this week, they’ll be in a triple threat!
Nah we’ll just have some fighting and Nia Jax standing tall over Shanya Baszler and Asuka.
No bell rings to start the match, no one questions why Jax’s music plays and a match never started. And we just end there. Cool! No trope then. Just… confusion as to why this was even a thing. Later, Charly Caruso approached Nia and Nia made it clear that no one can do anything about her actions.

Bobby Lashley def. Denzel Dejournette - Before the match, Lashley told Lana he didn’t want her to come to the ring with him because “she’s too beautiful and distracts him.” Denzel got one shot in, and then as Samoa Joe (so ridiculously happy he’s back and replacing Lawler) eloquently put it, mistakes were made tonight. Lashley quickly put him away after. Fine. Glad to see Denzel get some screen time these past few weeks. Lashley and Lana bore me.

Ricochet and Cedric Alexander def. Chase Parker & Matt Martel (Ever-Rise) - First time showing for Ever-Rise, and I like them! Both men were hot right off the bat and able to keep Ricochet down. Once Cedric got the hot tag he slowed their momentum. A new team finisher for RicoRic here, a double stomp-assisted hammerlock reverse STO.
After the match, MVP is on the tron and introduced his new clients, Shane Thorne and Brandon Vink. He announced a rematch against the two teams and RicoRic accepted. It appeared that MVP was going to offer his services to RicoRic until Thorne and Vink were shown. I’m glad that didn’t happen. There’s no need to make them heels right now.

Jinder Mahal def. Akira Tozawa - There were performance center dudes and NXT talent around, but they decided to feed Tozawa to the returning Mahal.

Extras - Throughout the night, a top 10 of Triple H’s best moments were shown in honor of his 25th anniversary. Also, some footage from Becky Lynch’s WWE 24 documentary was shown to keep her relevant since she’s not been on Raw for a few weeks.

If you haven’t seen the news yet, WWE has announced that Apollo Crews will not be participating in Money in the Bank due to his injury from the Andrade match. Now I could be concerned because WWE could shelf him for a bit, cool him down, and then bring him back only to lose and fade away and classify him as obsolete again. However, I’m a bit more optimistic. I am pressing on under the assumption that because of how he was booked on this show, he’ll be positioned into a contendership role for the United States championship after Money in the Bank. I don’t see how you take him out of the match without having him be featured elsewhere. I’ll be checking his Twitter this week for sure for updates and pray for a segment on next week’s show.
Raw was well paced tonight, I thought. More segments were a hit than a miss, with the United States title match being my favorite. MVP’s opener was a miss for me as it was very clear what was coming, as was the usage of Akira Tozawa. Lashley and Lana bore me. The triple threat “match” was rubbish to clearly have Nia Jax stand tall for Money in the Bank. Wasn’t it enough sacrificing Kairi Sane for two straight weeks?
