WWE RAW REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS So... let’s start off with this. Eva Marie. When Marie was on the main roster a few years ago, I saw what her gimmick was and I was worked by it. I’ll happily admit that. Right before she was gone, they were doing that gimmick where she’d be announced by the movie trailer voice over and then it would say “... is stuck in traffic” and stuff like that so she’d never wrestle. And I believe she never actually wrestled before being released. I didn’t really pay attention to her vignettes because I knew what was going to happen. Having said that, you may not end up being surprised by this statement - I have no issues with how Marie was used here. Yeah... after last week’s tirade and a lot of stuff you may be reading from other people, she is not the problem and I stand by that. My frustration here is not with Eva. This type of stuff is to be expected from her character, because it’s literally all her character is. She is here to troll and to be everything you hate. And it does work! The frustration with all of this lies on this company that insists that talented people must be mistreated. It’s easy to misplace the blame when you’re constantly treated like an idiot and tired of it. I said on Friday’s SmackDown recap that WWE is a one storyline company. Obviously I do not mean that literally. There are storylines all over the company. But the Roman Reigns one is by far the most compelling. By far. I also said that Shayna Baszler shouldn’t have to be sacrificed for the Alexa Bliss storyline, and it’s a shame that she has. This week, the sacrificing struck again, with both Naomi and former NXT UK wrestler Piper Niven. Niven doesn’t need to be a goofball protégé or friend of Eva’s and Naomi doesn’t need to be squashed by someone that literally did not belong in the match. The referee looked at her in the ring, basically said who are you and what are you doing here, and then rang the damn bell anyway. The referee, who was told that Eva Marie was wrestling, rang the bell and called a match with someone who was not the person who was scheduled to wrestle. That was so damn stupid. And I’m going to be upfront with you... I don’t know what I would have done to make it better. I’m so apathetic to this program that I don’t have the energy to come up with a better solution. By the way, it should say something that on a go home show for a big pay-per-view, this is my top feature. RK-Bro is rad, bro This match made me truly realize how much chemistry these teams have with each other. Riddle and Orton are fantastic together, too. Riddle and Woods were able to make some magic trading elbows and knees bringing some great aggression out of the both of them. Jimmy Smith was doing excellent commentary during this by accurately describing which positions were best as Riddle was trying to submit Woods. An inside cradle nearly won the match for Riddle and I thought that was going to be the finish. And then the brilliance of this happened. Orton went for the DDT and Kingston grabbed Woods’ legs and prevented Orton from doing his move. Then Riddle bridged out of a pin from Kingston. Orton tagged in, and then couldn’t RKO Woods at first, but did get a second RKO on Woods for the win. Everything about this is wonderful. Why I think this is brilliant is because I think this is going to lead to Orton doing some of Riddle’s moves to win. He’s already done the Bro Derek, but wouldn’t it be absolutely wild to see Orton do a Floating Bro? This may actually be going somewhere! Second week of the MVP and Kofi Kingston interaction. Good stuff deserves eyes. Enjoy. The Rest McIntyre and the Viking Raiders defeated Lashley, Styles, and Omos Viking Raiders did Viking things, making this a 6 man tag. When they came out and Corey Graves said “What does this mean for our main event?” Well they waited 12 minutes and then Lashley finally interfered to restart this whole thing. I’m not bothered by it, just like come on we knew what was coming... just do it. Lashley was afforded the convenience of going back and changing for this, and took out McIntyre when he came back. Omos manhandling Ivar looked sick. McIntyre being the first person to rock Omos is intriguing. Lashley got pinned but I am not convinced that Drew wins on Sunday. Yes, remember there actually is a pay-per-view this Sunday. Nikki Cross defeated Charlotte Flair via count out I hope that all of this is going to mean something and not Nikki Cross just sitting in catering for 6 months off television. Flair was a sore loser because Ripley once again distracted her, and tried to hurt Cross, but Ripley made the save. Yeah sure. Rhea Ripley defeated Asuka They ended up doing the reverse of what they normally do. Instead of “hey you four have feuds so we’re putting you in a tag match” they did “hey you four, you were in a tag last week, and now we’re splitting you into singles matches.” I mean we’ve seen this specific match like 100 times since WrestleMania but of course it was gonna happen again. And after, Charlotte came out and attacked Rhea, leading to a pull apart brawl. Charlotte’s outfit ruled by the way. I’m going to promote this angle for WWE Once again, good stuff deserves eyes. They were running with this for a few weeks and then decided not to bother, so smart man Mr. Ali decided to shoot his own video. Also isn’t it so cool that Damian Priest is nowhere to be found now after a huge match at WrestleMania with BAD BUNNY? John Morrison defeated Jeff Hardy / Jeff Hardy defeated Cedric Alexander Drip Sticks hurt people, Hardy has four eyes according to Riddle, and Cedric Alexander likes screaming. After Hardy lost, Alexander said he’d retire him because he was a sore winner last week, and Hardy said if he could beat him now, he’d retire. Well, you read the result already! Mandy and Sandy from Grease brawled with Natalya and Tamina The only two of three main roster women’s tag teams that exist anymore decided to keep that going. They have titles, I mean you have to fight for them I guess. Oh sorry Dana, not Sandy. Alexa Bliss vs. Nia Jax ends in disqualification Bliss looked spooky and brought aggression for her first match in months, pointed out by commentary. Good for her. Reginald is the dumbest idiot on the planet for interfering here and then she took control of Reginald’s body. So... possession? Is Reginald now able to be controlled by her? We’ll find out at some point. Jaxson Ryker and Elias happened again, and ended in a count out... again More like Zaxson Ryder. Dude shouldn’t have cut his hair. Count out again so who cares? We’ll be seeing this again next week. Grade C |

WWE NXT in your house REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Karrion Kross — a straight gangster mack After a wildly out of control edition of NXT a couple of weeks ago where Adam Cole made his big return, Karrion Kross bellowed “give me everyone” at Takeover. No matter how much William Regal has tried to assert his authority as General Manager, Kross has made it abundantly clear that as the man holding the NXT Championship he will call whatever shots he wants. Last night he got exactly what he was asking for — a fatal five-way with Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, Pete Dunne and Johnny Gargano putting his title on the line. Some of the men couldn’t even wait to get in the ring before taking a shot at each other. The crowd chanted “this is awesome” for the action and rightly so, even if at times it devolved into a five car pile up, with the challengers only getting the upper hand when they worked together against Kross — such as Adam Cole and Kyle O’Reilly briefly reuniting to plant Kross on the announce table. Don’t expect The Undisputed Era to reform though. Cole was more than happy to throw O’Reilly out to steal a near fall on Dunne given the chance. That was the nature of the five-way in general. Without Kross to focus on they took turns stabbing each other in the back. Once Kross rose from the dead, Dunne dared him to “prove me wrong” back in the ring, nailing him with the Bitter End and going for a triangle choke when he kicked out. Even then the rest of the pack couldn’t help but stop Dunne from getting the submission, even if he’d have been a better option to face one-on-one later on down the road. It led to the inevitable finish where Kross put O’Reilly in the Kross Jacket even as O’Reilly was trying to submit Adam Cole with a leg lock. Kross weakened O’Reilly enough for Cole to escape seconds before he would have tapped out and made “Cool Kyle” the new champion. As the show was going off the air, a despondent William Regal declared that after seven years of being the General Manager, he had never seen as much carnage and bedlam as he had witnessed tonight. He left us with a cliffhanger by bowing it was “time for a change.” I can’t agree with him less though. He’s my favorite authority figure in pro wrestling, we had a stellar night of action, and I can’t honestly picture anyone better than him taking over. Ultimately the focus has to be on the champion overcoming the odds to retain at the end, and he certainly went through hell and back to get the job done. As the great Calvin Broadus once said Karrion Kross “Paid The Cost to Be Da Boss,” but it was the rest of the fatal five-way wrestlers who looked like they’d been love-vendor Slapp’d. For me this validates dethroning Finn Bálor in a big way, because having Kross be a short term champion would have made his title reign as pointless as The Miz beating Drew McIntyre. Now that we’ve made Kross this strong they need to give him the ball and let him run with it. “Winner take all, loser must fall” The main event was not our only high stakes match of the evening. After Bronson Reed humiliated Santos Escobar on Tuesday, the leader of Legado del Fantasma demanded a “winner takes all” match where Reed would put up the North American title and MSK would put up the tag team titles against his crew. The confident champions accepted his proposal and the match was made official. Did Escobar lure them into a trap or would Reed & MSK successfully defend all of the titles at once in a six-man match? Just as the fatal five-way ended Takeover, the six-man match started the show, setting a high stakes tone for the entire broadcast in front of what was repeatedly touted as “the largest crowd ever” at the Capitol Wrestling Center. Escobar played cowardly heel until his flunkies took out Bronson Reed’s knee, at which point he quickly tagged in for a Michinoku driver but was unable to capitalize when MSK made the save. Escobar went out to get the North American title to use it as a weapon only to have Bronson Reed send him not just into but THROUGH a barricade. Reed went to the top rope for a Tsunami on Mendoza and the champions successfully retained all of the gold. A very fun opening match, and the kind of victory to pop that record setting crowd. Who doesn’t like seeing a big man repeatedly squish a group of cocky little heels? He even got in one of his trademark suicide dives. The only downside of this match (if you can even call it that) is that all of these men are good enough to move on to Raw or SmackDown, and with the size and agility of Reed in particular, it will be very hard to resist the temptation to pull him away from the NXT roster. Climbing the ladder of success “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase has made it clear he’s looking for a worthy successor — a protege not just in wealth and prestige but in his in-ring acumen. The two men he believes are the closest to the top are both “new money” in storyline. L.A. Knight built up a substantial portfolio over the years, but Cameron Grimes went “to the moon” thanks to a quick buck made through dogecoin and AMC stock. They both believed they’d earned the right to wear his Million Dollar Title, but to prove it DiBiase made them climb to the top in a very literal sense, putting that jewel encrusted belt high above the ring in a ladder match! Ladder matches should be physically punishing by design and this one was no exception. Grimes and Knight took turns assaulting each other with ladders of varying heights, while our savvy readers noted that we were watching a former Impact world champion and a former X-Division champion go toe to toe. I’ve seen Ultimate X matches that were less punishing than the hell these men put each other through! Right as it seemed as though Grimes was about to get the upper hand and climb the gold plated ladder “to the moon” it was tipped over by Knight. Grimes took a bump over the ropes through a ladder left outside and there’s no way that the landing felt good. If he took a month off after last night, I wouldn’t blame him. Either way the right man won here. Hold on — hear me out. If WWE’s intention is to have Grimes become a sympathetic babyface, and the crowd was cheering for him like he was one, he shouldn’t immediately win a big prize and be instantly rewarded after making only the smallest of changes. The true reinvention of Cameron Grimes needs to be achieved by overcoming adversity, learning money can’t buy him happiness, and earning another chance at the title along with true redemption. Meanwhile if you want LA Knight to be an even bigger prick, there’s no better way to do it than having him rub being Ted DiBiase’s hand picked protege in our faces. Ember Moon looked to make history Let’s compare Raquel González and Ember Moon to Jake Paul and Ben Askren. González is like Paul — she’s young, she’s cocky, some people don’t like her attitude, but her fans far outnumber her haters. Ember Moon is a little bit older and more seasoned, but she was the underdog going in with the oddsmakers. We already saw that she could hit González with her Eclipse once, but could she do it again and claim the NXT Women’s Championship when it mattered most? If so she’d become a dual champion in the process, as she already had tag team gold earned with Shotzi Blackheart. Speaking of Blackheart, she came to the rescue when Dakota Kai broke up a pinfall by putting Gonzalez’ boot on the ropes after Moon hit the Eclipse. Both seconds brawled their way backstage and out of sight. The momentum turned around at that point and Gonzalez hit the one armed powerbomb all by her lonesome, proving she actually didn’t need Kai to save her title reign. It felt a little anti-climactic but it wasn’t the fault of any of the women involved. They had to follow a brutal ladder match and no matter how good the women’s title war was, it wasn’t going to compare to the carnage that preceded it. Tian sha Sometimes the simplest stories can be the best. There were no titles on the line in this contest, just pride and bragging rights. Xia Li wanted revenge on Mercedes Martinez for spoiling her opportunity to win the Mae Young Classic. Martinez was insulted that Li “marked her” for elimination and wanted to prove not only that she was the better woman (again) but that neither Li nor the Tian Sha faction could stand in the way of her dreams. Although this was a fun scrap while it lasted, the post-show theatrics ended up overshadowing the match itself, which was exactly what WWE intended. Li knocked Martinez out with a kick and pinned her and Boa fed her a steel chair to finish the job. Martinez recovered and laid them both out with the weapon until Mei Ying finally rose from her throne for the first time to get involved. Martinez showed no fear: “You want to go bitch? Let’s go!” Ying put her in a choke hold, Martinez broke free with a chair shot to the body, but Ying got it on again and threw Martinez off the entrance ramp into the barricade for a sick thud! On an emotional level I wanted Martinez to win as I’ve been touting her credentials since long before she came to WWE, but if you want to repackage Karen Q and/or have the Tian Sha faction mean something it’s like making an omelette — you have to break some eggs first. In other words I respect the decision to go in this direction, even though I would have chosen someone other than Martinez to be their victim. Grade: A The booking made sense. The matches were well executed. Even the length of the show was just right. It was slightly longer than a typical episode of NXT, but not so long that you’d wind up exhausted from watching it. If you wanted more babyface wins then you might be more frustrated with the booking, but for a Takeover that had less than a month’s build, I’d say it was the right call to go in this direction. If you want to give everyone those emotional feel good moments for the women’s title, men’s title, or even the Million Dollar title, build up to a bigger Takeover the weekend of SummerSlam or Survivor Series. For that same reason I’m not bothered by the fact KUSHIDA didn’t defend the cruiserweight title last night. We’ve got all the time in the world to build up new challengers to face him on weekly television and future big cards. That’s what tonight’s show was — they are building up for the future 1 Like |
