WWE RAW REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS The dam has burst Miz and Morrison’s official breakup this week featured Logan Paul... for some reason. Honestly, even though he was forced into this segment for no reason outside to let him promote his brother’s fight, it was fun because of how much the San Diego crowd just hated the man. And it really looks like creative did not think that was the reaction that Logan would receive. The Miz is the heel in this breakup, but they positioned him to antagonize the YouTube star, setting up big Miz cheers minutes before he’d instigate the split with John Morrison. It doesn’t matter at all. Logan just kind of left while Miz & Morrison were bickering. It’s just interesting to see where WWE thinks their fans are going to land when it comes to someone like Paul. And maybe we shouldn’t be too surprised when the answer is “way off the mark” more often than not. After Paul left, Xavier Woods came out for a scheduled match against Miz after he sprayed some water on Miz & Morrison in the middle of the desert two nights back. The Flood Stud mistakenly cost Miz the fight against Xavier Woods. That’s what led to the moment where Miz attacked his friend, leaving him laying with a Skull Crushing Finale. Honestly, this breakup is at least a good six months past due. Their team was a good way to get John back in WWE, but Morrison is better than just one half a comedy tag team. He’s good enough to be an upper midcard singles wrestler delivering bangers every week. Hopefully, this will finally get us there. Plus, he has a chance to get his revenge for the time that Miz Skull Crushed him on the WWE logo on the stage a decade ago. And we all know Mix is a God-tier singles heel Refreshing the title scene (until Bill comes back, hopefully not) The biggest angle coming out of SummerSlam on the Raw side, the far least intriguing side of Saturday’s PPV, was Bobby Lashley injuring Bill Goldberg’s leg to the point the referee had to call the match. It escalated when Goldberg’s son Gage (who is no Hook, mind you) attacked Lashley from behind so the champ locked the younger Goldberg in the Hurt Lock. The champ and MVP opened Raw, with MVP once again reminding us how damn good he is by cutting a strong promo where he called Goldberg a coward and made it know that his client had no clue who was attacking him from behind. Damian Priest interrupted, accusing the WWE champ of being a coward himself. This led to a brief impromptu match. It wasn’t long before Sheamus interrupted it, but what we saw of the quick singles bout was a good teaser for what could be a future title program. Drew McIntyre soon entered the fray, somewhere Teddy Long made a wish, and this got the tag team treatment. The match was fine. Nothing to seek out, but it served to refresh the title scene. The top babyfaces on Mondays are the tag champions so Raw needs other potential challengers for Bob’s gold. And while this is certainly going back to Goldberg vs. Lashley, a rematch I don’t believe anyone is asking for, Bill likely isn’t working again for a couple months. So they reinserted Drew McIntyre to the scene and added some fresh blood in Priest. This didn’t create any real excitement into the top of the card on the men’s side, but at least it led to a couple potential programs for the All Mighty before Bill returns all angry because his son isn’t as cool as Hook. A gift that keeps on giving RK-Bro remains wildly entertaining. Riddle’s excessive exuberance combined with Randy Orton’s utter aloofness continues to be an entertaining recipe. (My favorite bit tonight was when Randy couldn’t do his pose on the turnbuckle because Riddle decorated them with balloons for their championship celebration.) Despite giving in enough to complete with and win titles with Riddle, Randy has no tolerance for most of Bro’s BS and it makes for multiple laugh out loud moments. On the other side of the ring, AJ Styles is pretty great in his role with his utter disgust for Riddle. He plays off him quite well. Also, props for storing his microphone in the massive Omos’s jacket pocket. Innovative. Styles and Riddle faced off again this week, the idea being that now that Riddle finally has Randy in his corner, he has what it takes to defeat AJ Styles. That proved accurate. Randy Orton was able to neutralize Omos on the outside by beating the ever-lovin’ hell out of him with the scooter that Riddle gifted him earlier. That distracted the Phenomenal One, who ate a Bro Derrick for the win. This segment, which was the main event of the show, felt like the real moment that RK-Bro came together as a team. Even more than last week. Even more than when they won the titles. This week felt like they final connected. It’s going to be a fun ride until they eventually feud with each other. Almost a Tag Team It seems like WWE may be going all in on odd couple tag teams. Rhea Ripley agreed to team with Nikki A.S.H. to defeat the former Women’s Team Champions Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler. It was a fun match. The strange bedfellows had an enjoyable chemistry. So what does that mean? Beating one of the longest reigning women’s tag champs should set up Rhea and Nikki for a future title shot. RK-Bro works. Maybe Almost a Tag Team would too. The other direction is this quickly devolving into a feud. That would require Ripley to turn heel. Not the worst thing, but they really need to pick a lane with her. As for the other side, I’m long tired of Shayna Baszler just losing a bunch of tag team matches or singles matches because of the tag team she’s a part of. Can we do something more with her already? What’s in a name? What is it with babyfaces accepting the terrible names that heels give them? This week, Doudrop said she liked her name that Eva Maria randomly gave her and was going to keep it. It was like when Chad Gable pretty much said “I’m so cool with people making front of my height, I’m calling myself Shorty G?” I mean WTF? If someone I didn’t like always called me “Shit Sandwich,” I’m not going to suddenly be like “You know what? Everyone should call me that.” Well, Doudrop may have accepted the name that Eva gave her, but she’s rejected the relationship. So Eva Marie ran a roadcase into her and then slammed her head into it. At least that Lily stuff is behind us with these two. All the rest: Real talk. Charlotte Flair cut a heel promo claiming she’s going to make it so people are proud to watch Monday Night Raw again. Then less than two minutes later, they set up a very real possibility that a doll is winning the title from her. The good news for Karrion Kross fans? He had a dominant win over Ricochet. The bad news? They’ve dressed him like He-Man meets Bob Backlund who wears a cheap Party City BDSM mask, something I assume is sold at Party City. Mansoor picked up a win over Jinder Mahal, but it was because Jinder got himself DQ’d. Mansoor asked Mustafa Ali not to interfere and Ali did not. Mansoor won anyway though so I guess it all worked out in the end, right? Looks like the new Elias wears a hat! A white hat! Once again, Reginald parkoured an escape from R-Truth and Akira Tozawa in a park to retain is 24/7 title. This time, he made his escape in an ice cream truck Raw is too long at 3 hours Nick Khan, cut it Grade C 1 Like 1 Share |

WWE NXT TAKEOVER 36 REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Once, Twice, Three Times a Champion Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages. You are looking live at the Capitol Wrestling Center in what might be the end of an era. And not just an undisputed one. NXT Champion Karrion Kross said his match with Samoa Joe at NXT TakeOver 36 is about the future of NXT. During the match, Vic Joseph said the winner will lead NXT into a new era. And since this is WWE, he reiterated that point as the show closed This company is a lot of things, but subtle isn’t one of them. Anyway, Joe and Kross had a violent match! Big shock, right? It was methodical as they told the story of a man coming back after semi-retirement to vanquish his younger and fresher opponent. Did Samoa Joe truly still have it, or was his bark a lot worse than his bite? And the resulting match was...fine. Joe and Kross don’t have much chemistry together, or maybe they just weren’t given enough time to let it kick in. But this match plodded along. A whole lot of submissions and rest holds, to get to the inevitable: Samoa Joe once again representing the black and gold brand show as its champion. Something felt off about this entire match. I can’t put my finger on what, but it just didn’t click. Joe didn’t look like he lost a step and Kross is always game, but when it was over, all I mustered was a “meh.” It wasn’t the best match of the night nor was it the most interesting. It was just there. And for a main event on Sunday night as the capper to three days of wrestling, “just there” just isn’t good enough. But hey, on the bright side, Kross can now fully focus his sights on Jeff Hardy, while Joe hilariously tires to be NXT Champion and Commissioner Regal’s second-in-command. I smell wacky hi jinx! Once a sidekick, always a side kick There’s one gigantic moment from this match that sticks out. Early on, pretty much right after the bell went ding, Dakota Kai hit the Yakuza Kick and knocked Raquel González into next week. Well, not next week, but definitely out of the ring. The NXT Women’s Champion was out cold, meaning it wasn’t easy for the smaller Kai to hoist her back into the ring. Dakota Kai had it. She had the championship right there in her grasp and it slipped away because of physics. Damn you, science. From that point on, the former best friends put on a show. Raquel’s strength and power against Dakota’s experience and speed. Dakota used her quickness and wit to finesse Raquel into taking an L. Raquel injured her shoulder, but her power game was still on point, if only a little hobbled. The woman even swung Dakota’s head into the middle turnbuckle like she was swinging a bag of groceries. Eventually, we got to a nice back and forth, with neither woman wanting to give an inch. Raquel, not here for a long time, doing her best to pummel Dakota. On the other hand, Dakota gave as good as she got, catching Raquel off guard in several moments and seemingly making “momentum” her middle name. Which brings us right back to where we started. Dakota smelled blood in the water and went for the Yakuza Kick one more time. But unlike earlier, Raquel knew it was coming. Raquel caught Dakota’s boot, hoisted her into the air, and hit a one-armed powerbomb from the top rope for the W and a trip to the pay window. Like I said, that pretty big moment from the beginning served as a bookend for this championship match. Dakota, the teacher, caught her student by surprise earlier. As the fight went on, the student learned and finally smartened up. Raquel took advantage of Dakota’s arrogance, sentencing her to Robin-status from now until infinity. But wait, there’s more! Just when it looked like it was safe for Raquel to savor her victory and chill, out came freaking Kay Lee Ray. I believe it was Street Fighter that said it best: here comes a new challenger. They Chose Violence and the UK Gets a New Champ I watched a lot of Toonami as a kid. Mostly for Dragon Ball Z. Yes, I’m sorry anime fans, my anime choices are basic as hell, but I am what I am. WALTER x Ilja Dragunov reminded me of Freiza battling Goku. WALTER, the undisputed NXT UK Champion playing the role of Freiza, and Dragunov, the challenger, assuming the role of the noble Saiyan. WALTER, like Freiza, dished out so much damn punishment. He was relentless. Forearms, clotheslines, German Suplexes—and other foreign language suplexes—haymakers, and of course, chops. Because, duh. The question wasn’t whether Dragunov could take a beating because we all know he can. There’s staples on his forehead that attest to that. The question was how long can Ilja withstand the punishment. The key to beating WALTER, just like Freiza, is outlasting him. He’s going to demolish you and run through you like a battering ram. If you can manage that pain, and inflict your own, you may have a shot. Dragunov, in the most striking moment for yours truly, bit his own finger while in a submission as a way to transfer the pain and tolerate the hold. That is devotion and a sign of a cat willing to do whatever it takes for the three-count. Like Goku, Dragunov grew stronger as the clock ticked forward. He got up after every toss, punched back after every jab, and just kept coming. And the more he pushed, the more frustrated WALTER grew Every fight between Goku and Freiza reached a point where the former tapped into power he didn’t know he possessed. He normally got there because Freiza pushed him to the brink and brought the best out of him. The second WALTER hit a splash from the top rope, followed by beating the living hell out of Dragunov with rights and lefts, the CWC felt the Russian go into Super Saiyan mode. He took WALTER’s best shot, lived to tell the tale, and found a power he never knew existed. At that point, it wasn’t about pinning the champ; Dragunov needed him to submit. He needed the admission from WALTER that he was the best. WALTER fought the sleeper hold as long as he could, but eventually, it was too much Dragunov for him to bear. The Ring General tapped out, and Ilja, in full Super Saiyan mode, stood tall over his fallen victim and celebrated with the gold. DRAGUNOV WINS! DRAGUNOV WINS! DRAGUNOV WINS! If this is the last breath of NXT in its current iteration, that was the best curtain call possible. Three is the Magic Number Until it Isn’t. Maybe it’s because they were following an NXT UK Championship match for the ages. Maybe it’s a me thing and not on them at all. But Adam Cole x Kyle O’Reilly’s Undisputed Finale left me, well, underwhelmed. The first fall happened quicker than I expected, but I liked the idea of Cole getting undone by his ego. He had Kyle dead to rights but just had to go for another level of embarrassment to his former friend. And he paid the price. Much like another Dakota Kai earlier in the night, let’s bookmark that fatal flaw, shall we? The street fight was...okay? Two cats barely wrapping their fi I fists in chains and phantom punching each other doesn’t do it for me and just felt artificial. Yes, even for pro wrestling, which is all about maintaining a certain level of artifice. The callbacks to their past matches or older encounters usually gets me right in the feels, but here it left me colder than Mr. Freeze in a snowstorm while sipping a milkshake. I just wasn’t feeling it. That said, the finish to the street fight elicited an “ouch” and I have no clue how Kyle is walking after getting thrown onto the backs of two chairs. It was a nice transition to the cage match, which looked like a forgone conclusion. Until it wasn’t. Remember when we bookmarked Adam’s ego? Cole, once again in the pole position, decided to add insult to injury and talk his sh*t. He handcuffed Kyle to the cage, smacked him up a bit, talked a little trash, and went for one superkick too many. Kyle literally beat Cole with one arm tied behind his back as he caught the leg of a man he used to consider a brother, and locked Cole’s bum knee in a submission. A couple taps later, and Kyle O’Reilly takes the W and the crown of their three match contest. Cole likely moves to the main roster now and forever. The end of an era indeed. The Rest The Million Dollar Championship Now Resides on the Moon Before we get into this, it must be said that Ted Dibiase’s theme still bangs after all these years. Now, back to your regularly scheduled recap. I didn’t expect LA Knight x Cameron Grimes to go for nearly a half hour. But I’m glad they did because these two set the bar high for the night. Grimes is crazy over with the CWC crowd, and the people love Dibiase. This was a fitting conclusion to this story, despite the fact Dibiase, one of the biggest heels of his era, believes a babyface should carry his legacy forward. While i hoped for Grimes to finish Knight with the Million Dollar Dream, we still got the original recipe version from Ted himself. After that and a Cave In, it was academic. Answer Ridge Holland Now, Timothy Thatcher Poor Trey Baxter. He started this with all the energy of a kid running into a brick wall. That brick wall, in this case, was Ridge Holland. Short, sour, and to the point. Thatcher got angrier the longer the match went and it wasn’t long at all. The longer he waits for an answer from Timothy Thatcher, the more he plans to make light work of the roster. Grade: B While I’m not crazy about the last two matches, everything else on this show ranged from good to great. WALTER and Ilja Dragunov did the damn thing to the fullest extent of wrestling law, putting the last four wrestlers in precarious positions. Imagine following that. Dakota Kai and Raquel González made their underwhelming story into a compelling match, while Grimes x LA Knight was a lot of fun and old-school wrestling at its finest. If this is indeed the end of NXT as we know it, then it ended on a good note, if not a very high one. Still, we got a good show to close out a monumental wrestling weekend. No matter what, that’s always something to smile about. 2 Likes 1 Share |
