WWE NXT REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Toxicity Well, I never expected to hear “hobo banged a Chucky doll” on my television this week, but here we are. Bayley visited NXT this week for a special “Ding Dong, Hello” with Toxic Attraction. Toxic Attraction without Mandy Rose was a fascinating experiment and as of now, it looks like that experiment is over. Bayley showed up with hopes that she might heal the bonds between Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne after they came up short at Vengeance Day. For a moment, it looked like she might. After Jacy got that Chucky doll line out the way, and Gigi retorted that looking up at the lights on your back is the Jacy Jayne position. Whew. But Bayley talked sense into both of them and they relented. They apologized to each other and seemingly made up. Jacy said she gets nasty when she’s competitive. Gigi acknowledged they need each other since they ostracized everyone else. Bayley agreed! Toxic Attraction talked about going after the WWE Women’s tag team championships and of course Bayley shot all of that down immediately. But she patted herself on her back nonetheless as Gigi & Jacy stood together and raised each other’s hands. Then, of course, the Shawn Michaels-Marty Jannetty moment. Jacy super kicks Gigi into the “Ding Dong, Hello” door. Unfortunately, the door didn’t pop openor break down but hey, I got the point. Jacy as the heel here makes sense. But Gigi, even in this segment, shows she has the most talent between the two. I can’t imagine Jacy as the face though. I can’t fathom feeling empathetic for Jacy or hoping she conquers any odds. But Gigi? Yeah, I can do all that for her. Some people are just natural heels and Jacy fits that mold perfectly. However...I do think recreating the barbershop moment feels a tad lazy and on the nose. I know, I know, Shawn’s running things. But it feels unearned for these two. I’m looking forward to next week because the most important step is always the next step. Extracurriculars Dragonheart Carmelo Hayes’ road leads to Bron Breakker but said road has quite a few bumps. JD McDonagh made an appearance this week, telling the former A-Champ that he’s not ready for the big belt nor can he lead the brand. All of that is funny coming from JD, a man who already lost to Bron and proved he isn’t ready to lead the brand or carry the big belt. But I digress. To my shock, this match started the show’s second hour rather than main eventing. And I kept wondering why. Yes, even through the really good match these two put on, I wondered why so early. Even when the match showed continuity as JD attacked Melo’s ribs after Apollo Crews went to town on said ribs at Vengeance Day, I wondered why. And then Ilja Dragunov’s music hit and I finally got my answer. Dragunov made a beeline to the ring, manhandled Trick Williams, and distracted JD long enough for Melo to catch him off guard with an inside cradle and get the W. For all the trash JD talks, he still wants none of Dragunov and Ilja still has unfinished business with the methodical madman. Melo got out of dodge as Dragunov attacked JD. Unfortunately for him, and us McDonagh ran off before Dragunov really got to him the way he wanted. I like heating up Melo by having him face JD, which also gets the crowd more on Melo’s side. I even questioned if they’re turning Bron heel or just turning Melo more into a face or at least a tweener. Facing JD this week, plus sweeping Apollo with busted ribs? That’s the type of stuff the crowd loves and turning that Stand & Deliver audience against Melo might prove difficult. Sol Survivor I didn’t see this coming. I didn’t see Zoey Stark defeating Sol Ruca. Sol looks a lot better in the ring than she did months ago, as she should, and it helps having a solid dance partner like Stark. But I figured they keep Sol’s momentum going with a big W here. What we got instead was NXT splitting the proverbial baby. Stark got the win but didn’t leave well enough alone. She attacked Sol post match, adding insult to the other thing, but ended up regretting it almost immediately. Sol snatched Zoey’s soul and left her lying in the middle of the ring. I’d prefer they just let Stark get the W rather than letting her look like the loser at the end of it. Or just give Sol the flukey win. Never really a fan of someone losing the battle but winning the war, as it were. Pick on Someone Your Own Size! Grayson Waller disrespected Shawn Michaels after Vengeance Day and Tyler Bate took it very personally. So much so that he challenged Waller to a match next week since the Aussie is currently “suspended.” Domination Remember when Dante Chen was a thing? NXT probably doesn’t because they used him as cannon fodder this week. Chen went one-on-one with Dabba Kato, who didn’t actually look Chen in his eyes until the big man got to one knee. That was Chen’s best chance at a W, but even then, c’mon. This was academic and yeah, the returning big man got the W. Apparently Apollo Crews did something that pissed off the big man. During a very short post match interview, he told us all that Crews “knows what he did” and that’s why he “dropped his ass.” I guess Apollo didn’t see that, did he? Stack Bundles I keep waiting for Odyssey Jones to pop but maybe my eyes should look at one Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo. He is, after all, the underboss. It’s crazy how Jones seemingly tumbled out of favor tough. But Stacks wining makes sense given that prior to this match, he and Tony D’Angelo approached Wes Lee about the help they gave at Vengeance Day. Their beef with Dijak benefited Lee and they expect full compensation. We’re getting a North American championship open challenge next week, and both men want to play. So, yeah, making Stacks look good going into that feels right. This or That? Wendy Choo and Elektra Lopez are battling for Valentina Feroz’s soul. During Feroz’s match with Lyra Valkyria, Lopez showed up ringside and slid Feroz some brass knuckles. Choo, who accompanied Feroz to the ring, begged her friend not to use the foreign object. Feroz hesitated but ultimately said nah. Either because she refused to cheat or because she took her eyes off the prize, Feroz took another L. Lopez shook her head in disappointment while Choo consoled her friend. Spilt Something During Briggs & Jensen’s surprise party for Kiana James & Fallon Henley, Pretty Deadly and Chase U got into it. And I mean, they really got into it because Andre Chase cursed up a storm. Pretty Deadly looked terrible since apparently they haven’t slept since they lost yet another chance at tag team gold. Since this is a wrestling, someone scheduled a match between two teams. I like the idea of a disheveled Pretty Deadly. They looked awful and didn’t even bother wearing ring gear. In fact, during the match, one of them even asked “what’s the point?” Great touch that I really appreciated. Thia Hail didn’t accompany her boys this week. Why? Glad you asked. Ava Raine kidnapped her after Thea verbally berated Tiffany Stratton for the way she talks about Chase U. The wild part? It didn’t happen in the parking lot. Chase U took an L once Thea returned screaming and clearly upset. Whatever Raine did to her clearly upset her. If not for that brief interruption, Chase U gets the win here and that’s my main takeaway. Gallus showed up afterward in the Crow’s Nest with their eyes set on Un-Pretty Deadly, but Chase U deserves a run with these tag titles. Even if it’s a short one. Rox-C No Mates? Kayden Carter & Katana Chance are pissed. They got cheated out of their championships and believe nobody cares. They’re so mad, they even interrupted Roxanne Perez’s victory interview. The former champs came at Perez hard, telling her she has no friends and challenge her to a match next week if she can phone a friend. Turns out Roxanne has some dope friends in high places because next week, it’s Carter & Chance vs Perez and...Meiko Satomura. The former champs might regret sticking their noses where they don’t belong, which feels like the theme this week. Diamond Clarity So Isla Dawn thinks she’s Enola Holmes now? I’m confused why someone like Dawn cares about who injured Nikkita Lyons. Nothing in her character screams “concern for others” or that she’s some champion for justice. Accusing Tatum Paxley before their match came off as weird. Maybe she did it to get into Tatum’s head? Possibly creating a rift between she and the Diamond Mine, with whom her affiliation seems tenuous or...honorary? My guess is the latter since Paxley hit the ring sans Ivy Nile and after Dawn got the W, it looked like she and Alba Fyre had nefarious plans for Tatum. Ivy made the save, but I think Isla & Alba have designs on making their twosome into a trio, and Paxley is the target. I like that idea. I also reserve the right to be completely wrong. The match itself was short and didn’t do much for me because I spent most my time wrapping my head around the why. This felt like a much better paced show than usual. A solid show from top to bottom that maintained its sense of urgency throughout. Those are my thoughts. Right or wrong, it’s just how I felt at the time. How do you feel? |

WWE RAW REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Steel Cage Redux I never questioned this match’s quality. It’s Bayley and Becky Lynch in a cage! We missed out on this a couple weeks ago at Raw Bleep so fittingly (for me) we get it this week. I liked how vicious it got because Bayley made this personal when she mentioned Becky’s family. Becky talked a lot of trash and slammed her opponent’s head into the cage several times. Both women worked rather stiff and truly made the stipulation worthwhile. But things got interesting during the third act. Of course Damage CTRL got involved the minute Becky and Bayley battled on top of the cage. Bayley tumbled down faster than Humpty Dumpty and IYO SKY, the one member not on crutches thanks to Lynch’s actions last week, blocked Becky from exiting. Something about this match screamed for a big reveal at the end. Becky or Bayley winning isn’t a big hook for next week, especially during WrestleMania season. And that’s when a familiar tune blared out the speakers. Welcome back, Lita! Lita preened to the crowd a bit, jogged to the ring, and assisted Becky. She attacked SKY, snatched Kai’s crutch, and slammed the cage door on Bayley’s face. Bayley stumbled backwards into a Manhandle Slam, got the W, and sent the home crowd home happy as she and Lita embraced. These two interacted in Saudi Arabia almost exactly a year ago at Elimination Chamber in Saudi Arabia. I’m so curious how this story unfolds and they explain Lita’s change of heart. Becky idolized Lita and Lita felt incredibly disappointed that she possibly inspired such behavior during Becky’s Big Time Bex phase. Color me intrigued and it’s a nice wrinkle for this feud between Becky and Bayley that freshens it up. Flowers I don't know if Cody Rhodes and Paul Heyman planned their promo. I hope they didn’t because that’s part of wrestling’s magic. At least they didn’t plan the beginning. Cody came out with Sami Zayn on his mind because, hey, things might change in Montreal. Cody, dressed like a railroad tycoon, gave Sami all the props in the world before Paul Heyman walked to the ring. And that’s where things shifted before shifting again, which is something Heyman does with ease. Cody got real, thanking Paul for giving Dusty Rhodes a job in 2000 when the family had about $100 in their respective bank accounts and Dusty did local car commercials in exchange for keeping his car. Heyman gave Dusty confidence and self-respect, while giving the whole family the life raft they desperately needed. A speechless Heyman stood stuck with tears falling down his eyes. Cody then thanked Paul for showing him how to disrupt the business when Cody started AEW—which he didn’t mention by name—and the crowd gave their own adulation for the man once known as Dangerously. Paul’s great because he takes something like that, gives a real reaction, and finds his way back to the business at hand. He talked about his admiration for Dusty and the Rhodes family, but he reminded everyone this is still about Cody. Cody has a chance to beat Roman and do something no one else in his family accomplished. Paul sowed doubt in Cody’s mind, as he should, and then got back to Dusty. He referenced Dusty training all these future WWE stars while working at the Performance Center. Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, and, yes, Roman Reigns. But he didn’t train Cody. While most people might take that as a diss, Heyman sees it as a compliment. Like I said, the man mixes sweet and bitter better than almost anyone. Sure, Dusty didn’t train him, but that’s possibly because he wanted Cody to be his own man and not live in Dusty’s larger-than-life shadow. Heyman loved Dusty more than words convey and Dusty told him personally just how much he loved Cody. Great, right? Well, yeah, then came the bitterness. Heyman remarked that during their last conversation, Dusty told Paul that Cody was his favorite son...but Reigns is the son he always wanted. Whew, Lord have mercy. That perfect mix of real and wrestling worked beautifully here. I love Reigns’ promo skills but Heyman was and is the perfect foil for Cody because of his connection to Dusty. More importantly, he exploits that relationship and history in a way Roman would never. It doesn’t give their feud as much juice as Sami vs. Roman, but it’s a great start. Heyman is WWE’s clean-up hitter for a reason. Extracurriculars Four Hours Later... Brock Lesnar cut a hilarious promo tonight. After greeting Orlando with “good evening,” Brock explained why Bobby Lashley stays on his mind. The best part was how he noted that Bobby’s on his mind when he crawls into bed with his wife. Of course, Bobby only creeps into his psyche four hours later. Brock, you sly dog. Lesnar wants Lashley at Elimination Chamber and even has the contract ready for the All Mighty’s signature. Not so fast, according to Lashley. He wants his agent, manager, and lawyer to put eyes on that piece of paper before he signs anything. But Lashley literally poked the bear before he left the ring, poking Lesnar’s nose as part of his oneupmanship. Unsurprisingly, Brock’s temper got the best of him. He dished out not one but two F-5’s to Lashley and left the contract on his chest. Fun segment that leaves me wondering how Bobby responds. The Omen: Damian Every show runner or head writer has their signature style. For Aaron Sorkin, its rapid-fire dialogue often said on the move. For Triple H, it’s an opening promo segment that segues into the episode’s first match. That’s how we got to Angelo Dawkins vs. Damian Priest this week, with the two squaring off after Edge and Beth Phoenix called out Judgment Day. Edge applauded the fact that his plan for Judgment Day kinda worked. Each member, including Dom Dom, is in a better position now than they were a year ago, even if that success came at his expense. He’s 1000 percent correct too. Count me as one of the naysayers of this group once Edge exited stage left as the entire thing relied on Edge’s image. But I’m so happy I was wrong as the group steals the show almost every week. But enough about that. After Beth and Edge challenged Finn Balor & Rhea Ripley to a tag match at Elimination Chamber, Finn accepted while Dom said yes on mami’s behalf (Rhea was absent tonight). The three men surrounded Hall of Fame couple and a fight broke out. Cue Angelo Dawkins, who rushed the ring like ring with the fervor of me at a sneaker drop. A couple punches later and their Elimination Chamber qualifier match commenced. Whew, we got an absolute brawl. Whether it was Dawkins launching Priest across the commentary table, Priest uppercutting Dawkins in mid-air, or just the absolute bombs they threw at each other towards the end. These are big men and they wrestled the appropriate match for powerful men their size. We also got a Swanton Dive from Angelo, who improves every week. Very cool opening match that Priest won with the South of Heaven. Which makes sense because Judgment Day needs representation in Montreal. Also, the idea of putting the Profits against each other in the chamber just feels wrong. At least for now. Speaking of Which... Montez Ford defeated Elias, solidifying his spot in the Elimination Chamber. Solid match, nothing worth crowing about or even writing that much about. Plus, no diss to Elias, but this was a forgone conclusion. Austin Theory joined commentary and then found himself on the wrong end of a Seth Rollins attack post match. Everyone wants the champ. Mela..Is..Money I don’t know if I said it here before but I’m a big Carmela fan. I thought her character work on SmackDown Live in 2016 was fantastic and her wrestling improved on the regular. While I’ll never call her the best wrestler, she understands just how much personality matters and gets that personality over every time she’s in the ring. Returning to her original gimmick only enhances that. Seeing her return in a 4-Way dance for a spot in the Elimination Chamber match felt good, if only because of the personal trials and tribulations she endured during her hiatus. That said, I’m happy she won! Battling against Piper Niven, Michin, and Candice LeRae, Mela did what she does best which is outsmart her opponents. It worked because all four women, especially Piper, Michin, and Candice, punished each other. Piper’s name change brought out her aggression, while Michin and Candice tried preserving their friendship, which is a bit impossible in this situation. Carmela put Candice in the corner, put the boots to her, talked a lot of trash moonwalked, and dodged Piper Niven’s cannonball, which pummeled LeRae. Mela super kicked Niven out of the ring and pinned a dazed and confused LeRae for the big W. Business... Bottomline? Shelton Benjamin & Cedric Alexander defeated Alpha Academy handedly and cleanly, with MVP in their corner. Nothing else matters, people! We’re getting closer to the Hurt Business... Resident Velociraptor Interrupts Woman Calling Manager WWE doesn’t often do pop culture things well as of late. I’m sure a lot of that has to do with the dirty, old man who ran creative. Triple H seemingly has a better handle on these things though, and Chelsea Green’s Karen character illustrates it best. Green’s interactions with the world’s worst manager, Adam Pearce, are pitch perfect. This week, she pulled that “call your manager” threat one time too many. Green demanded a match...or else. Well, Pearce gave it to her and unfortunately for Chelsea, Pearce picked Asuka. Asuka decimated Green with rest of the women’s elimination chamber participants standing ringside. That got a little wonky because they weren’t there as lumberjacks nor did they show any inclination to interfere. We found out after Asuka’s victory that the women amassed for a short and sweet Bianca Belair promo. Bianca entered the arena, put over all six women, and told them she’ll see the winner in Cali. Psycho God First off, Kevin Patrick said swinging a hatchet at someone, which Dexter Lumis did last week, is not a crime. Bruv, swinging a hatchet at someone is definitely a crime. I digress. This match between Baron Corbin and Lumis wasn’t much of a match. Corbin’s taking mad L’s since hitching his wagon to JBL. Lumis is yet another who showed the modern day wrestling god that he’s barely a demigod much less a full blown deity. JBL looked like a man ready to rescind Corbin’s godhood after his protege fell victim to yet another three count. Which is exactly what happened later in the show but whew, I didn’t expect that level of severity. JBL said he was “must see television” while Corbin is “channel changing television.” That hurt me! And I don’t even like Corbin! Corbin said he can do better but JBL says you can’t polish a turd. Ouch. If that’s not burying Corbin then I don’t know what the term means. Really dope show. The first hour flew by, the middle dragged a bit, but the last hour found its momentum once again. Elimination Chamber is shaping up nicely. Grade: A |
