WWE NXT NEW YEARS EVIL REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS The Winner, and New... For weeks, NXT made this generational battle the crux of NXT 2.0. At the front of the drawn battle lines were Tommaso Ciampa and Bron Breakker. You remember Halloween Havoc? Bron does. It was his first shot at making a statement to the world that the new generation is legit and ready to rule the NXT roost. But Bron came up short. In his first big match, he made one mistake and relived that error for months. Seriously, that was back in October 2021 and here we are in the first few days of 2022! It nagged Bron and haunted him, even after getting the pin for his squad at *clears throat* WAAAAAARGAAAAAMES. Bron wanted redemption. Ciampa was the thing standing in his way. More importantly, he reminded Bron of his fatal mistake every chance he got. It’s just good mind games but it also indicates how he feels about his challenger. To Ciampa, Bron is a young pup who isn’t ready to hang in the nastiest part of the pound with the Pit bulls and Rottweilers. If it’s possible to respect someone and dismiss them all at once, that sums up Ciampa’s approach to the man he dubbed “big bad booty nephew.” When the ding ding happened this week in their New Year’s Evil main event match for the NXT Championship, Bron clearly had all of that on his mind. He came out throwing bombs and clearly caught Ciampa off guard. The champion realized at that moment that he underestimated Breakker, so he pulled out all of the stops as a counterattack. A dropkick here, a corkscrew dive there, and anything else Ciampa had in his arsenal to keep the kid down. As the match got to its conclusion, we saw echoes of their first encounter at Halloween Havoc. Ciampa lifted the mat on the outside of the ring, which was the start of Bron’s ending many moons ago. Bron, clearly ready for it this time, countered Ciampa’s devious plan with a spinebuster through the commentary table. Last time, it was Bron who messed up. This time? It was Ciampa. The last few moments were poetic. Bron found himself on the top turnbuckle, just like two earlier moments in this match and just like last October. Earlier in the match, his second thoughts got the better of him and he paid the price. But this time, he found the confidence and the footing to leap from the middle rope and nail a Bulldog. One Steiner Recliner later, and Bron Breakker is your new NXT Champion. And with one nod of approval from the former champion, Bron Breakker’s status was cemented. The new champion showed that he not only can hang with the big dogs, but that he’s the new dog face gremlin running the entire kennel. Good match with an even better story of redemption, triumph, and a true changing of the guard. Whether you like it or not, Bron Breakker is your hook up...you know the rest. One Shot Kill You know what I love? Of course you don’t, how could you? Since you’re not a fortune teller, the answer is when a championship is on the line between evenly matched cats. One reason Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar are painted into rather large corners is because WWE tells us barely anyone is on their level. It’s a different story when it comes to NXT. Carmelo Hayes is as credible as North American Champion as Roderick Strong is as the Cruiserweight Champion. The fact that Melo is legitimately seen as on Strong’s level in such a short time is a testament to his skills and NXT’s presentation. Of course it’s easy to think all of that is smoke and mirrors, right? Yeah, but then they got in the ring together and the proof was in the proverbial pudding. Melo and Roderick put on a very dope show for the people in attendance and those of us watching at home. They told a story of two champions battling to a standstill until the last few seconds of the fourth quarter. Like most contests decided in the last few seconds, it comes down to who can get their shot off the best when the moment presents itself. With that metaphor tortured beyond reason right now, it’s obvious the cat who says when he shoots he scores was going to splash the three-pointer with no ticks left on the clock. For about 20 minutes, Strong was perfect. The Diamond Mine front man gave “the A Champion” more than he bargained for. A whole lot more than he bargained for, actually. But Melo returned the favor. Not saying Roderick took the North American champ lightly, but it’s easy to think Melo is all talk and no substance. Especially if you’re the type of cat Roddy is where you let your fists do the talking. Strong found out early that Melo did his homework, countering some of Roddy’s signature spots and even doing his own version of the Stronghold. Like most stories, the match turned on a simple mistake. Strong’s high risk maneuver from the top rope had a bit of a boomerang effect, with the Cruiserweight champ taking the brunt of the punishment. Sadly for the Mine, Strong never recovered from flying too close to the sun. Melo shot his own shot from the top rope, and duh, he didn’t miss. A few ding dings later and Carmelo Hayes is your winner. The Cruiserweight Championship, which had its highs in WWE, is once a again only a thing that exists in our memories. This was the best possible way for it to make its exit, as both men put on one for the ages. Do yourself a favor and watch the match if you missed it. Also, why in the world did you miss it? It was the first match! The Rest Bro-W MSK needed to find their Mojo. Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel needed to impress WALTER. Riddle needed to get on the right side of the ledger after losing to American Alpha earlier this week. WALTER just wanted to beat people up and show his crew how it’s done. Long story short, everyone had something to prove in this six-man tag. And what a six-man tag it was. Unfortunately for Aichner and Barthel the General has nothing to celebrate on his way back across the pond. Aichner and Barthel did their best to impress and for most of the match they did. WALTER couldn’t get the job done either, but it’s not like him to accept blame for anything. Plus, it was the NXT tag champs who were laid out in the middle of the ring when it was all said and done. MSK stepped up, Riddle got the pin courtesy of a Randy Orton shoutout, and the crowd loved it. My only complaint here is that neither Nash Carter nor Wes Lee got the pin. The Shaman was there to help them and while they got the W, sure, it means more if one of them earn the three-count. Roses I’m not sure how good Mandy Rose is inside the ropes. She’s not bad by any means, but I’m not sure what her ceiling is because NXT puts her in positions like this one: A no DQ triple threat match where neither wrestler has to do everything. The match accentuates strengths and obfuscates weaknesses. Mandy’s strength is her character and viciousness. Mandy knows how to turn it on and look like a woman who is willing to go the extra 10 miles to get the job done. Mandy is also often the smartest person in the ring, which is why she retained her championship. Both Cora Jade and Raquel González wanted the champ to themselves. When Cora finally got her moment to go solo, she gave the champ a little too much time to recuperate and play possum. Mandy took the challenger by surprise and got the W with a damn victory roll. The match was fine but I do agree with the outcome. Mandy is more interesting with the championship than without and she provides a different flavor. AJ is the New Florida Man AJ Styles showed up to New Year’s Evil to fight. Grayson Waller showed up to run his mouth. You know wrestling so you know how this goes. AJ challenged Grayson to a match, Grayson said sure but next week. Grayson threw a sucker punch, a scuffle ensued, and the heel ran away before he got what he deserved. So yeah, AJ Styles wrestles on NXT next week unless Grayson Waller finds another excuse. Step Up to the Challenge, if You Will MSK, the Brothers Creed, Harland & Joe Gacy all threw their hats in the ring for the Dusty Rhodes Classic. January 14 for the men and sometime in the best month ever, February, for the ladies. Elektra Says Pull Up Elektra Lopez is tired of the triangle between her, Xyon Quinn, and Santos Escobar. Family first, sure, but it’s time for this to come to a head. Next week, Quinn and Escobar go one-on-one and Ms. Lopez plans on leaving with the winner. Chase U Better Have Insurance Andre Chase got beat up by Von Wagner. Wagner then “assaulted a member of the audience” and was escorted out of the building. They’re trying hard to push Von as a tough guy but it ain’t working for me. New Year’s Evil was consistently good. With one fantastic opening, a good six-man tag, a fine triple threat,and a good closing match, the show was mostly on point. However, the AJ and Grayson stuff, along with Von Wagner goes to jail, threw the flow off for me and felt like noise around an otherwise very solid offering. But as the late great Wes Craven once said, the two strongest points of your story need to be the beginning and the ending, and NXT delivered on both fronts. Grade: B+ 1 Like 1 Share |

WWE RAW REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Brock Ain’t Looking at You Dudes, He’s Looking Past You Brock Lesnar adds a wrinkle to Raw’s WWE Championship picture. Not an actual picture because who wants a wrinkle in their picture? But a metaphorical one that changes the situation for everyone involved. The potential problem, one that kinda revealed itself this week, is Brock looking to the Island of Relevancy on Friday nights and minimizing the threats on the day Garfield hates. The Beast and his advocate, Paul Heyman, hyped up the Fatal Four Way main event for Raw. Ya know, the one originally planned for Day 1 before COVID did what COVID does. Speaking of which, Heyman’s line about Roman Reigns catching COVID just one week after firing his Special Counsel was hilarious. Heyman beautifully talked up each competitor in the main event, with the most reverence reserved for Big E, a man Heyman’s adoration for is the stuff of legend. Plus? It’s a nice way to at least attempt to soften the blow of E taking the clean L at Day 1. The alliance between Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins was the thing here. Big E and the All Mighty eventually smartened up and realized the need for their own unholy alliance. This led to a madcap brawl throughout the arena, getting up close and personal with the South Carolina crowd. The bigger playground gave the match a bit of a different flavor than the last time we saw these men fight, and it all led to the inevitable. You know what that is, right? Of course you do. You’re smart and you pay attention. Eventually, Lashley ended his partnership with E, perhaps on accident, with a giant spear. Rather than stop and check on the man, he kept going and was like Oprah. Seth? You get a spear! KO? You get a spear! In the end, it was that final spear to KO that punched Lashley’s ticket to a championship match at Royal Rumble as Brock looked on from his locker room. Note, Brock watched the match from his locker room, not the middle of a hallway on a giant television in the most awkward way possible. 2022 goal is to have someone treat you the way WWE treats Brock Lesnar. But I digress. When Brock was asked for his thoughts on facing Lashley at the Rumble, something Heyman already seemed a tad jittery about, the WWE Champion had words for Reigns and plugged his upcoming appearance on SmackDown. Lashley? Barely a thought apparently, as he wasn’t even worth half a bar, as JAY-Z once famously said. The obvious angle here is Lesnar’s obsession with Roman leads to a Lashley W. But the problem lies in that thing I said earlier. If the WWE Champion is more concerned with the champion on an entirely different show, then why should I, the viewer, invest in his bout with Bobby Lashley? No matter how much hype emitted from the commentary table, Lesnar undercut it with a smug smile and a few words. The match already somehow feels like an afterthought, thus degrading the thing that still has the more historical and important lineage in the company. Could things change? Of course. It’s only January 3 according to the phone and laptop I use to tell me these things. But as of right now, in this moment on this night, it feels like Brock, and by extension the company that signs his very fat checks, are looking past Royal Rumble and already focused on WrestleMania. You know, like that meme. The Rest The It Couple Steps in It It’s official: The Miz and Maryse will tango with Edge and Beth Phoenix at Royal Rumble. This was a fun segment with four pros, and Maryse still showing she and her husband aren’t on the same page. Beth, rubbing salt in the wound as Maryse argued with her husband, put her future Rumble opponent on her ass. Therapeutic Win I said it before but it bears repeating: The split personality thing with Damien Priest isn’t my cup of tea. I still don’t think it’s necessary and the way he sells it feels more like I’m watching a Looney Tunes cartoon than an actual person embracing their dark side. All that said, this was a solid match between Priest and Dolph Ziggler for the United States Championship. It’s hard to have a match anything but solid with Ziggler, and Priest is no slouch. Unlike last week, this match came with the stipulation that if Priest loses by count out or DQ, he loses the title. The key moment was Robert Roode, Big Bob himself, making an appearance to tempt the champion. And it almost worked. Priest lost it and almost risked losing his title to beat the piss out of Bob. Damian maintained his composure, and retained his title. With Damian showing he can control his “inner Hulk” I’m not sure where we can go with this persona now. Besides more ridiculous facial expressions and gyrations. Nikki Almost a Super Hero But Always an Anchor The Women’s Tag Team Championships were on the line! Guess who won? If you said “Super Brutality,” then you didn’t watch the show nor do you follow story logic. Queen Zelina and Carmella had a simple game plan: Isolate Nikki and never let Rhea Ripley put even a pinky between the ropes. Mission accomplished. Rhea showed her frustration when Nikki got beat seemingly before the match even started. This partnership either dissolves peacefully or Rhea chooses violence. Who am I kidding? It’s wrestling, so it’s only a question of when Rhea enacts the decree of violence, not if. Probably before the Rumble so Rhea frees herself of any commitments other than competing in the Women’s rumble. Don’t Boo Education Riddle is too big for his britches. Which is saying something since he rarely wears pants, much less anything that qualifies as britches. But that’s why Riddle and Randy Orton lost to the Alpha Academy this week in a mildly entertaining match. This being WWE, I’m sure this means Alpha Academy just earned a shot at the Raw Tag Team Championships. Maybe then, Riddle will remember he’s not Randy Orton, no matter how hard he tries, and he can’t RKO a human as massive as Otis. Here Comes a New-Ish But Old Challenger! Oh, first Raw of 2022, what would you be without a weird segment? Becky Lynch, all by her lonesome, did what heels do in professional sports entertainment, tearing down the crowd and predicting disappointment in those New Year’s Resolutions. It was a meandering promo, with the best part being Becky’s new nickname for herself, Vincent van GOAT. Eventually we got to the point where Liv Morgan and Bianca Belair both challenged Becky. Bianca is ready to move on from Doudrop and Liv believes she needs another shot because basketball reasons. Doudrop politicked her way into the match too, despite the fact she’s on a losing streak just like Liv. But okay, sure. So next week, we’re getting a triple threat match between Liv, Bianca, and Doudrop with the winner getting Becky at Royal Rumble. I get why we’re here but how we got here was clunky with some logical leaps previously only accomplished by Mario and his taller, thinner brother. Profits with the Layup The Street Profits made proper quick work of Apollo Crews and Commander Azeez. The Profits needed a rebound after losing at Not saying they’re headed for a breakup, but keep an eye on this space. The Colossus and The Phenomenal One This was...a thing. Omos is good in small doses, not a full singles match. AJ Styles sold everything and made Omos look like a lot of Benjamins, but it never clicked for me. There’s something about Omos as a solo act that doesn’t work in my head. The big man doesn’t have the fluidity of some great big men of the past, and still has a lot to learn. Unfortunately for him, not all of his future opponents are AJ Styles. Hate that AJ took the L here but the way they’re building Omos, that was the only option. Sucky option, but still. All Day Everyday Tag Team Despite what anyone tells you, I have no problem admitting when I’m wrong or don’t know something. So maybe I’m wrong but I don’t know how the rules of this match work. Dana Brooke put her 24/7 title on the line in a mixed tag match. With Reggie by her side, Brooke took on Tamina and Tozawa. If Brooke gets pinned, she loses the title. But it’s mixed tag rules meaning only one person in the match could pin her. But Tozawa also wants that championship, so why would he allow that to happen? And wouldn’t Reggie save Dana from taking the L? Also, what’s up with Reggie helping Dana soooo much? I couldn’t get with the match because I didn’t understand the parameters or the narrative logic. The first Raw of 2022 was fine. Eventful? Yes. Royal Rumble is coming into view, with a few entrants announced for the Rumble, including Austin Theory in another weird segment with Vince McMahon, and several championship matches on the docket. This week’s Raw was all about setting the table for the next few weeks and as far as that goes, they did what they needed to do. Even if I don’t agree with some of the logic or narrative choices.
