WWE NXT REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS The “enforcer” era for Samoa Joe has begun After William Regal agreed to make Samoa Joe his right hand man to ensure he was afforded the proper respect, NXT wrestlers started lining up to either suck up to Joe and get in his good graces or try to “provoke” him into getting physical. Here’s a quick example of the former as opposed to the latter. Joe was not interested in any ass kissing, and the one time Adam Cole laid hands on him, he quickly wound up face down on the floor unconscious after Joe choked him out. At the end of the show Regal and Joe promised it was “the first of many” nights to come with authority finally being restored. How did this new powerful duo whip the NXT roster into shape this week? Unfortunately Joe didn’t get to choke anybody out this week, but he did have his hands full commanding the security team to break up multiple incidents, each of which we will cover in the notes below. In between those times Karrion Kross dared him to get “provoked” but Joe didn’t take the bait. As he let Kross walk by, Pete Dunne was waiting behind Joe to stare a hole through him for the second week, building up to a match that for medical reasons we may never ever get to see — and that’s a damn shame. The Adam Cole and Kyle O’Reilly sandwich Speaking of Cole and O’Reilly though, they were the two ends of a NXT sandwich this week and the rest of the show was the fillings. Seven days ago William Regal informed Adam Cole and Kyle O’Reilly that they would have to settle their differences at the Great American Bash on July 6th, but in the meantime they would have one-on-one matches with the opponent of their choosing. Cole would be too busy recovering from Joe’s choke to make his pick last week, so we’d get his answer this week! We already know who O'Reilly picked to face this week First up though was Adam Cole (bay bay), who came out to open the show and informed us that he would be facing... no one, because he doesn’t play by anybody’s rules but his own. As it turns out though he didn’t have to choose because Carmelo Hayes interrupted, did his best John Cena imitation by declaring his “ruthless aggression” and slapping Cole in the face. The ref already knew what Cole wanted after this disrespect and called for the bell. Given his “rookie” status you’d probably be surprised by how much Cole gave Hayes in this match. This could have easily been treated like a squash, but it was as close to 50/50 as Hayes was going to get in a losing effort. Once the fireman’s carry was countered into a backstabber from Cole though it was the beginning of the end, and despite several attempts to put Cole away, his superkick was better and his Panama Sunrise was the nail in the coffin. He’s worked with both KUSHIDA and Cole in matches on NXT and looked good both times, so that speaks to the quality of people he’s working with, but it just might say that Hayes is a future star in the making to keep your eye on too. At the other end of the sandwich we had a non-title “respect” match with two wrestling and grappling technicians. O’Reilly and KUSHIDA had the closest thing to a worked MMA match we’re going to see in NXT, constantly fighting their way in and out of armbars, choke holds, and leg locks with the occasional near fall thrown in just to remind us it was pro wrestling. At the end of this move for move, counter for counter war, KUSHIDA tried to drag O’Reilly to the center to reapply the Hoverboard Lock, but O’Reilly countered one last time into a small package for the win. Neither man had much time to appreciate their efforts. Adam Cole ran out from the back and got into a wild brawl with O’Reilly, spilling behind the announce table and through the barricade as Joe sent his army of lieutenants to snatch them up. To make KUSHIDA’s loss even worse, he got jumped by the debuting Diamond Mine to close the show, a faction which features Malcolm Bivens as the manager/mouthpiece and the returning Roderick Strong! He’d be joined by Bivens protege Tyler Rust and a Performance Center coach/certified badass named Hideki Suzuki. DM left KUSHIDA in a heap and Bivens threw his cruiserweight title onto his prone carcass before the show went off the air. Franky Monet’s encore debut If the opening and closing segments had been the entirety of the show, I would have been just fine with it, but there’s much more to talk about. Franky Monet (FKA Taya Valkyrie) and her little dog Presley have made their pre-debut, their NXT debut, their backstage segment debut, and their “world premier” in-ring debut just to name a few. It’s now a running joke that the NXT writers can’t seem to get enough of. Ladies and gentlemen I present to you this week’s “encore debut” of Franky Monet on WWE NXT! This week’s victim for the encore premier was Elektra Lopez — a name I can only assume the brain trust came up with by combining Carmen Elektra and Jennifer Lopez. She had an outfit that tried to emphasize her ass-ets to boot, and in the words of Shakira her hips didn’t lie when she danced to celebrate a brief moment of triumph over Monet. The rest of the time though it was all Taya Valkyrie’s show, throwing around Lopez with ease, doing ground and pound when she wanted, and finishing things off with a big Glam Slam. I enjoy watching Franky/Taya do these squashes. Let’s stop calling them a “premier” though unless we’re going to get DJ Premier on the 1’s and 2’s. Million Dollar Retribution After LA Knight’s cowardly attack on Ted DiBiase Sr., fellow millionaire Cameron Grimes ran down to make the save to the raucous approval of the NeXTras in attendance. Now that his full fledged face turn has begun, how would Grimes get retribution on Knight for attacking the man he both emulated and idolized? Actually... he wouldn’t. Despite a hard tease for it on both last week’s program and via social media since, we got an absolute dud in response this week. LA Knight did a promo from his pool mocking Grimes for caring more about the “old man” than the fortune and fame. Sadly Grimes got even less than this. He had a vignette outside the Performance Center handing out hundred dollar bills to well wishers, until someone made the mistake of asking him if “Grandpa Ted” was okay. Grimes promptly decked the doofus and made it rain. I would have preferred him to have had a match with whatever trainee this was, but alas it was not meant to be. This was easily the biggest misfire of an otherwise well done show. Ever-Rise vs. Hit Row The pre-pre-pre show feud you didn’t even know about spills over onto NXT tonight. Ever-Rise wants to get revenge on Hit Row for destroying their set from Takeover, but the Suge Knight inspired faction led by Isaiah “Swerve” Scott is not the merciful type. If you don’t know, now you know. And if you needed two men to be killed by Tha Row, here you go. This was a full on squash and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Ever-Rise are geeks while Hit Row are going places as a faction. Back to the pre-pre-pre show for Martel and Parker. Top Dolla made sure that from now on Ever-Rise will put some respect on his name. Io Shirai & Zoey Stark vs. Aliyah & Jessi Kamea "I respecct you but I don't like you" I quickly got the feeling during this match as to why Aliyah & Jessi Kamea are often relegated to dark matches and backstage segments. Kamea in particular made Zoey Stark look out of place on every spot, and even though Stark has had her weak moments at times, none looked quite as bad as this — so I blame Kamea. When Kamea dropped an elbow I was worried she was going to accidentally crush Stark’s throat. As if things weren’t already messy enough, tag team champions Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell arrived to watch. Team Respect eventually won when Shirai hit a moonsault on Kamea for the pin. This led almost immediately to Raquel González & Dakota Kai arriving to tell everyone that they’re the number one contenders to The Way, and everybody else can get to stepping. Naturally this led to Ember Moon & Shotzi Blackheart coming out too and saying they beat González and Blackheart but they seem to have forgotten, and Blackheart suggested a reminder via ass kicking! This led to a brawl between all parties in the ring until Samoa Joe arrived and sent an army’s worth of security people in to break it up. It’s a measure of his enforcer role that these blackshirts were effective. Maybe he put them through two-a-days! The Way defeated Pete Dunne and Oney Lorcan This match was set up earlier in the evening when The Way came down to the ring to cut a promo about how the new NXT needed a new champion, and not a scary doomsday muscle head, but a headband wearing family man — Gargano naturally. Pete Dunne and Oney Lorcan arrived to dispute this idea, and Gargano tried to “show respect” to Samoa Joe and William Regal by not being goaded into a fight. As The Way left though, Theory put his fingers in Pete Dunne’s face. Big mistake! Dunne immediately snapped them. After trying to suck up to William Regal in his office to make Dunne & Lorcan pay for their misdeeds, Regal said they could have a tag team match instead. This impromptu tag team match was everything the women’s tag wasn’t. Nobody was out of position, every move looked crisp, and Dunne was his usual vicious self — taking off the tape to manipulate Theory’s fingers even more. Gargano kept making the save when needed, but Theory used his feet as a weapon and his body as a missile when his arm and hand couldn’t do the work, so he saved Gargano several times too. The NeXTras rallied behind The Way despite their often times heel behavior, simply because they like Johnny Wrestling more than The Bruiserweight, and they erupted in enthusiasm when he hit Lorcan with One Final Beat for the pin. Unfortunately The Way didn’t have long to celebrate as Karrion Kross immediately laid Gargano out. Any other night this would’ve been a main event worthy match. It over-delivered for the slot it was put in. What else do you need to know? Multiple matches were booked for future programs last night. After Mercedes Martinez was offered a mixed tag match against Boa and Xia Li, the Tian Sha faction jumped her during a backstage interview, before Jake Atlas rushed in to even the odds and make himself her partner for the fight next Tuesday. We’ve also got a women’s tag team triple threat on deck — Ember Moon & Shotzi Blackheart, Zoey Stark & Io Shirai, and Raquel González & Dakota Kai. The winner of the match is the new number one contender to face The Way at Great American Bash. A “face to face” meeting between men’s champions MSK and their own top contenders Timothy Thatcher & Tommaso Ciampa was announced at the same time. The mysterious charging battery got all the way to 51%. Woo-hoo. Grade: A- Compared to a week ago I felt like this show had higher highs and lower lows, yet in the end I would say it evened out to the same grade because of good booking and great angles. Paying off the Diamond Mine with the return of Roderick Strong was a stellar move. Giving Jake Atlas more to do on the show this week and next week was a stellar move. Carmelo Hayes is the rookie of the year so far in NXT. The opener and closer were both awesome, Gargano & Theory were babyfaces for me and the live crowd, and if they parade out people for Franky Money and Hit Row to squash every week, I’m down with it. Had they not dropped the ball on Cameron Grimes this week I would have gone up to an A+, but with how bad Jessi Kamea & Aliyah were, I can’t go higher than A-. That’s a wrap folks. 1 Like 2 Shares |

WWE RAW REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Welcome to Monday Night Hell in a Cell Raw. Been really really long since the last time there was a Hell in a Cell match on Raw. So that’s pretty wild. Before getting into it, I just want to put this quick thought out. I have been watching Raw for the entirety of the pandemic and a big portion of them have sucked. They’ve felt lazy, uninspired, boring, repetitive, all of these words and then some. If you’ve been reading my recaps, you’ve seen these words. A lot. All of a sudden June 21, 2021 rolls around and Raw... was good. No, actually... great. I can’t remember the last time I said that about the red brand. There may not have been more than a handful of times this year so far. So why was this show great? Every part of it mattered. All matches had stakes or something important, all matches were relatively fresh, and there were winners that went against the norm. THANK YOU! I realize that it can’t be like this every week, but let’s keep this positive momentum going. Please. Superhero It’s only been two weeks, but guess what I have to feature! Two weeks ago I said that I would never feature the Alexa Bliss angle again, unless something happened that forced it. Welp. If you’ve ever heard of the phrase “monkey’s paw” it’s where you wish for something without realizing the potential consequences. So Nikki Cross won matches against both Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair for about a month, and I said that it would be foolish of her to not demand to be put in a title match. Well silly me for thinking something like that would happen. Instead, Cross has transformed into... a superhero. Yeah. Very “DC/Marvel-like” of them, huh? Maybe we will get a multiverse next She tagged with Alexa Bliss, whom she feuded with last year when Bliss turned to the dark side. And none of that was really mentioned, nor did Bliss or Cross show any contempt for one another. It’s almost like that... never happened? Now, onto Bliss. She has new music, and guys, I’m just going to come out and say it, it sounded really dope. It’s infinity times better than her using the Fun House music. She also did some more mind control and almost got Reginald to slap Nia Jax, but stopped at the last second. Anyway, Cross rolled up Shayna Baszler because Baszler doesn’t win matches anymore, and Alexa and Nikki are on to Money in the Bank. My head hurts. I just want to clarify, as of now, I’m not feeling the superhero Nikki Cross thing. But could this be leading to something with Alexa and Nikki? I can’t believe I’m saying this but... I’m interested to see what happens next. Wow. Logical progression Nothing really happened here but a rematch scheduled for the next pay-per-view. However, I wanted to feature this because while the finish was stupid as hell, they are attempting to tell a story. And it’s actually a good story to tell. Rhea Ripley’s character has been pretty shit since WrestleMania, and Charlotte Flair’s for the most part has been great. Now they dropped the Charlotte/Sonya Deville pairing for some reason, but it’s not the only moment in Charlotte’s career where she’s been given things without earning them. So the story here that Rhea intentionally disqualified herself because that’s exactly what Charlotte would have done as champion makes sense. She gets to break the rules and be handheld throughout, but Rhea gets a whole segment being talked down to? That’s not fair. Now, I kind of wish we didn’t have to wait to Money in the Bank for the rematch, because they could have just done the rematch on Raw. And if they wanted to do the match in front of fans, they could have just done the match then. I kind of just wish they did a different DQ to get here, but we’re here now. Let’s see how it progresses. Bad man Bobby Lashley is a bad man. He came out to celebrate his victory against Drew McIntyre and was interrupted by New Day. And toasted bread. I started getting worried about where this was going. So after the toast was thrown, Kofi Kingston said that he was facing Lashley at Money in the Bank. Yay! But Xavier Woods was facing Lashley for the main event of this show... inside the Cell. A bit random (maybe not if you’ve read rumors) but I was willing to give it a shot. And boy was it a good match. Woods repeatedly had Lashley’s number and hit him with kendo sticks and chairs. He did an incredible dive from the top rope to Lashley through a table. But in the end, Lashley locked the Hurt Lock in and Woods had to tap. And then the bastard MVP locked the Cell again, preventing Kofi from getting in to help as Lashley choked Xavier. And the show ended beautifully. This was a well done angle to get me invested in next week’s show. Very good job by all performers, and credit to WWE for a compelling, non-Lilly related cliffhanger. Now, Xavier may be out for a while and Lashley will indeed get Kofi alone at Money in the Bank. And Kofi’s aggressive side should be a great thing to watch leading up to the show. Money in the Bank qualifiers Naomi and Asuka defeated Eva Marie and “DouDrop” They actually made it right by having Eva Marie name Piper Niven DouDrop in a smart way. It was frustrating to think that Niven would just come out as DouDrop without recognition of her real name, and they just had Marie name her and Niven was sad about it. Good stuff. See? Sometimes we wrestling fans get too into our own heads and need to let it play out. Marie tagged Niven in immediately and the match was okay. She looked to her side of the ring and saw Marie wasn’t there, but Marie then tagged herself in when she thought she would get the easy win. And then Niven abandoned her and Naomi pinned her! Hahaha this was actually great. So is this a short lived pairing? I’m actually interested in seeing the fallout from this. Ricochet defeated AJ Styles Ricochet continuing to look Fight Club with the black jeans and boots is a great look. Absolutely gorgeous Northern Lights suplex from him for a near fall. Styles targeted the back of Ricochet’s head throughout the match to knock the high flyer off his feet to benefit him. The Calf Crusher didn’t do anything since it was locked in for a few seconds. Erik and Ivar distracted Omos and Ricochet countered the Phenomenal Forearm to win! Ricochet in Money in the Bank is a great choice. Ricochet on my screen is a great decision. Gonna stop thirsting now I’m just really excited that he’s in this match. If he wins (I know he probably won’t)... But if he does, Omo!! Okay Okay I’ll stop now, fine. John Morrison defeated Randy Orton I’m surprised that this is the first time Orton and Morrison have faced each other. Morrison is actually a great opponent for Orton. He was flipping around and making sure not to be in an RKO position. And he was quite aggressive with Orton, too! More so than I remember seeing from Mr. Drip Drip as of late. Orton tried pulling Morrison’s hair to get him to break the hold but that didn’t work, so they traded punches and Orton came back with a clothesline. Miz squirted Morrison with the Drip Stick and Riddle came out to help Orton, but ended up costing him because Orton decided to get distracted by the awesome scooter vs wheelchair race. This was not Riddle’s fault. Orton should have known better. Riddle defeated Drew McIntyre McIntyre said words before the match, but his words suck so I didn’t listen to them. y’all! McIntyre rag dolled Riddle around. Riddle had a hilarious delayed reaction to a chop. (By the way Drew’s chops mean nothing because I saw Matt get chopped by WALTER a few years ago. Yeah, WALTER. Multiple times.) McIntyre started to get more hurt as the match went on, selling his match with Lashley. Riddle kept bringing the fight to him, and Riddle took a nasty fall on a suplex from the top rope. And then Orton came out. Riddle countered a Claymore kick with a Bro-mission and won the match with a roll up which was smart because McIntyre’s back was hurting bad. So fantastic it deserves your eyes. This match was excellent. Orton gave Riddle the silent treatment after. This team is so great. I hope they don’t break up soon. Drew being done here makes me wonder what they’ll do with him. More intrigue! That’s all folks. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this good watching Raw, even if some things were... questionable. But even though they were questionable, I’m actually interested in seeing how they progress. Weird. This is Monday night? Grade: A- |
