WWE Raw Reviews recaps and reactions It’s… dusty in here, isn’t it? The New Day were in the ring for their final night as a trio. Six years ago, the first chorus sang about the Power of Positivity. Then came the Booty-O’s, followed by pancakes. The New Day has been through it all. They’re the current longest reigning tag champions in WWE history, and it all started because Big E and Xavier Woods walked up to Kofi Kingston with an idea. Kofi said that in 2012, he was ready to call it quits until that moment. Xavier even mentioned how if it wasn’t for Kofi and E, he probably wouldn’t even be in WWE anymore. That part cut right through me. Any one of these guys, hell - all of them even, could have been in the round of COVID-19 cuts back in April, if not for the idea of The New Day. On a personal note, my fandom of New Day went back and forth over the years. Around the time of the Old Day segment (yeah y’all remember that?) I wanted them to split, and I wanted it to be the way a lot of people originally thought it would - Big E heel turn. I can now tell you I am 100% happy that it never happened. The New Day trio was pivotal in Kofi’s historic rise to WrestleMania 35’s WWE Championship win. These three men truly uplift and support each other, and it shows, man. This is the truest meaning of a brotherhood. So after the tears were dried up, New Day had to team up one more time to take on Sheamus, Cesaro, and Nakamura. It was a phenomenal match. Xavier Woods, who was out for nearly a year due to an Achilles injury, lifted Big E from the ground onto his shoulders! Cesaro showed his incredible strength with a gut wrench superplex to Big E, too. After their final win as a trio, the tears flowed again as they hugged. I love you gentlemen. Jey Uso is a rising star The main event of tonight’s episode was a Universal championship match between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman. Reigns dominated the first few minutes, but Braun was able to keep kicking out at one. Brilliantly, Reigns once again did a low blow kick out, but Braun was able to kick out of a spear, as Goldberg looked on in the ThunderDome. Reigns with a guillotine submission, which is not a usual move from him. But it got him a win via tap out! After the match, Jey Uso came out and locked eyes with Reigns. Reigns asked Paul to give him a chair, and as Jey looked on from the floor, Reigns showed him what Hell in a Cell will look like and slammed it into Braun’s back with a bunch of referees and officials trying to stop him. Reigns said that even though Jey is making no sense when it’s his job to be the head of the table for the family. He also told Jey that he loved him. He kicked the chair to Jey and turned his back, but Jey dropped the chair. Then he slapped Reigns in the face, superkicked him, and hit him with the chair twice in a fury while screaming "I love you too, you love me? I love you too". My lord that was incredible! I don’t think I’ve ever seen that vicious side of Jey Uso before. But it all ended for him as Reigns recovered and hit him with a Superman punch and said that was his final chance to back down. Chills. Absolutely wonderful and I could watch this feud go on for the rest of the year and not get tired of it. I had no problems with how Braun was treated here. I would like it to believe that him screaming “I’m not finished with you!” means that literally. Hopefully. Contract signing - Bayley and Sasha came out to sign the contract for their Hell in a Cell match. Bayley said once again that she became the longest reigning SmackDown women’s champion all by herself. Sasha interjected and said to say it again, but Bayley came back at her and said that she knows she’s been waiting all this time to turn on her. Sasha seemed to forget that she actually did turn on Bayley a few years ago. Sasha said that Bayley turned her back on her and her name is bigger than Bayley’s title. (Mandalorian, y’all!) Bayley left and didn’t sign the contract. I know the match between them will be great, but the revisionist history is not great. You’re never going to convince me that Sasha is a full on babyface here. Daniel Bryan returns - Bryan returned after four months away. He started hyping up the fresh blood, until Rollins interrupted, hurt that he wasn’t mentioned. He asked whether Bryan would be with or against him. Bryan called him self-centered, and Rollins attacked. Rollins ducked out and The Mysterios chased him back into the ring, when Murphy then joined and looked like he was going to team up with Rollins, and then psyched him out and attacked him instead! The Mysterios refused a handshake from Murphy and left. I am really excited to see some Rollins and Bryan after a period of time away from each other. At least we’ll have Murphy to drive a wedge between the months long Rollins and Rey and Dom feud. Lars Sullivan def. Jeff Hardy - Before the match, Triple H and Stephanie went through their spiel hyping up the “Season Premiere” of SmackDown and introduced some of the players. The Street Profits came out and Roode and Ziggler attacked, which started a huge brawl that ended with Lars being sent out of the ring by Jeff Hardy. Jeff got some offense and hit Whisper in the Wind, but Lars kicked out and pushed him to the other side of the ring. It was a noble effort, but Lars’ Freak Accident got the victory. J-A-double R-E-double T looked on from one of the ThunderDome screens and just shook his head. That’s… relevant apparently. Also, Triple H started to sing “Super Freak” by Rick James when Lars’ name was mentioned ![]() Tag title match gets a ref stoppage - This was quick and as we now know, unnecessary. This could have been really good as a regular match without nonsense. This was a very good episode of SmackDown, aside from the silliness with the tag titles. It’s been a few weeks! This may also have been the first SmackDown, or any WWE show for that matter in quite a while, that had no women’s match on the whole show. Odd choice for the “Season Premiere. #EndSARS |
Minemrys:lol...you just said Joker, scarecrow and Some other villains were in Gotham before Batman now you're Changing the narrative and saying it was immediately he showed that the villains came...pick a struggle bruh And let me ask you about Spiderman who you claim to be the best superhero, has his rouges gallery not increased over the years? Has new York city not been more and more infested with crime? You and all the other "woke" Batman detractors don't have any point..just grasp straws and insha'Allah |
Nickshrapnel:This person really looks like Gadot...alot of effort |
BankyGee:He didn't jump out the window bruh ![]() |
Roman and Braun have been turning up the heat in fire interviews for their match on Friday night, you love to see it sounds almost personal...While we are enjoying the rivalry let's not forget to push the movement with one voice #EndSARS |
BankyGee:You won't lose her don't worry ![]() |
Minemrys:please name 5 Batman villains that fall in this category since you claim to be talking about the comics, just 5 Facts still remain that Diana won't last 5years in Gotham, she would either be turned into a tyrant or a lunatic or even end up dead and that's after they have drained her of all her wealth and resources and mental fortitude P.s. calling Batman a bad guy is just plain ignorance..the good he has done far outweighs any mistakes he has ever made |
Minemrys:Taa...the Joker has no business being out for 5-10 years please..even Alfred that died just months ago is still being used(his corpse even) abeg die this matter you're obviously in the dark on Batman lore |
Nickshrapnel:it just looks Badass, but they have eliminated a lot of advantages the main suit had |
Minemrys:So you genuinely think all these things have never been done to the Joker before? Lmaooooooooo, Minemrys you dey sleep on top bike o ![]() This guy literally thinks that no writer in the 80yrs of writing Joker has ever done any of the bolded to him, I don't think there is any form of punishment apart from hanging (which I haven't read about but might be there) that Joker hasn't been through so die all these talk abeg |
Minemrys:Lol..bro you're talking about the Nolan movies I'm talking about the comics...Batman didn't have any prior connection to 90% of his rouges gallery as the movie tends to suggest...Batman is the hero they need and deserve any other person you put there will crumble |
Kaycee7:been long overdue to wed for him, I'm happy for him and her |
[quote author=Nickshrapnel post=94967417][/quote]Batman doesn't run Gotham city by just beating up villains bro, it takes a toll on your mind cos it's a different breed of crazy and Diana would be overwhelmed on the long run |
Minemrys:Just say you don't like Batman and move bro, Joker is the best written villain in DC that's why people love him..Lex is always 2nd place |
Gmajor:first of all it's fiction and the Joker is the most iconic Batman villain, so he is always around 2- nobody stays dead in comics, they eventually come back..even when Joker has "died" in the comics he always comes back..soo what's the point of killing him and killing him? 3- Bruce in the comics knows how thin that line can be and the kind of people he is facing, those Gotham villains are a different breed, any slip up in morals from Bruce will be detrimental to his fight |
Minemrys:Joker that has outsmarted Clark every single time they met...Joker will drive Clark crazy |
Nickshrapnel:she would become broke, frustrated and with a severe case of PTSD |
Congrats to John, I hope this doesn't go the Nikki route
|
Gmajor:Nobody knows how to blame themselves for lives lost more than Bruce, every life is important to him even Joker's own...he has vowed never to kill cos he doesn't want to be like the people he fights against...all due respect but wonder woman won't last long in Gotham |
Robert Stone is also awesome ![]() |
Stonecoldstare1:I've not seen the clear version anywhere yet...still on CAMrip |
WWE NXT Reviews recaps and reactions Spin the Wheel The main event of this week’s show was Damian Priest defending his title against Dexter Lumis. It felt too soon to run this as a legit feud. So it was none-too-surprising when Cameron Grimes cost the silent superstar the match with a Cave In behind the ref’s back. This is the obvious feud based on the last couple of weeks. It’ll be interesting to see who gets the better of it. Conventional thinking would say it’s Lumis, who’s the babyface in this program and the bigger man. He’d have a tougher time recovering from the loss than Grimes, who can make up some BS excuse and be good to go. The goal is to elevate both men and hopefully they’re able to do that. This week’s title match was fun enough to warrant the main event spot. Lumis’ bursts of agility are still a sight to behold and plays into his enigmatic character very well. Meanwhile, Priest is doing what he needs to as a midcard champion. I’ve enjoyed him much more since he turned babyface after his lost to Finn Bálor. He’s not at a point where I’d be very excited to see him in a main title match, but at this point, that may be just preference. I dig Priest, but I’m not a mega fan. Next, Damian will have to face Johnny Gargano again at Halloween Havoc after just defeating him at TakeOver 31. An attack to the champ with a chair post-match earned Johnny that right. (As did the fact they had to put a match together in short order.) William Regal added the spice when he kicked it over to Shotzi, who made the match (and Candice’s title match which we’ll get to in a moment) a Spin the Wheel, Make a Deal match. This will at least add a fun stipulation to the rematch. There’s some ridiculous stuff on that wheel, such as a casket match, a cole miner’s glove on a pole match, and a buried alive match. The outcome will be the same, but it’s always appreciated when they go retro with the classics. And they should have some fun with these stipulations. Rematch Number Two Candice LeRae gets another shot at Io Shirai’s title at Halloween Havoc in two weeks. She got there by defeating Shotzi Blackheart in what was a good match between two women who have consistently having good matches. The deciding factor was Indi Hartwell, who last week started sucking up to Candice (and Johnny Gargano) by giving them a new TV. Indi slipped LeRae brass knuckles, a weapon the Poison Pixie used to win the match. So we get another rematch from TakeOver 31 less than a month later. It’s feels a tad lazy to run the same match again. They obviously want to wait on bigger challengers like Rhea Ripley, Toni Storm, and Ember Moon. And they should. At least Candice and Io have great chemistry and the match will be good. The new wrinkle will be Hartwell, who could be a deciding factor for LeRae. But in reality, she isn’t beating Io Shirai and the lack of drama for what is likely the top title match for the show is a bit disappointing. The wheel will help spice things up though. Showing Unity Undisputed is still showing unity... for now. Kyle O’Reilly joined Bobby Fish & Roderick Strong ringside for their #1 contenders match against Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch. O’Reilly spoke for the group (kind of like the leader?), showing no simpy for Ridge Holland. In fact, he claimed if Ridge weren’t in a hospital bed because of last week’s gruesome injury, he’d be there because Undisputed put him there. KOR acknowledged that someone was behind the Adam Cole attack, meaning this “who dunnit?” angle will continue. I’m glad it will. It’s obviously a major shame that Ridge suffered such an injury. But it looks like they can continue this major angle with Undisputed. Fish & Strong defeated Burch & Lorcan in a fun match to set up a match against Breezango next week. And that should be a fun time. But the big angle here is the future of Undisputed, which despite all their insistences, could be headed towards a break. Baby Steps The team of Drake Maverick & Killian Dain is just a tad more cohesive than they were last week. Killian isn’t into the music (which is weird because it rules) and definitely wasn’t into Drake’s team name of Furry & Fury (that I understand). But he is tolerating this entire thing more. Because he gets to beat people up. Drake booked them a match against former tag champions Imperium. This time around, Dain was willing to tag in, even extending his hand. That’s huge for this relationship! But it wasn’t enough to win. I’m glad Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner went over. This new odd couple tag team is wildly entertaining, but they are not at a place they should be defeating a team the caliber of Imperium. They showed some fight, but it wasn’t enough. The biggest step forward was after the match. Ever-Rise thought Drake was left alone and tried to get some revenge for last week. But Big Dain sent both men to the floor with a double clothesline. He then told Drake that he is the only person who gets to hit Maverick. Loser Austin Theory continues to lose. This week, it was at the hands of Johnny Gargano. It wasn’t any squash. It was a two segment match that could have gone the young man’s way at times. But in the end, it was another L for Theory. Wade Barrett pointed out his losing streak and qualified it with the fact it was against a list of really good talent. But at the same time, a loss is a loss. And it’s not like Johnny Gargano wins all the time. This was kind of a battle of two guys who lose more than they win. In the end, Johnny was too seasoned for the rookie Theory. This losing streak is an obvious storyline. And NXT has done well with that in the past. Andrade (“Cien” Almas) lost all the time prior to working with Zelina Vega, a move that took him right to the top. Eventually, Theory will find something that works for him when they want to move him on from just putting others over. All the Rest: - Jake Atlas defeated Ashante “Thee” Adonis. He took advantage when Raul Mendoza and Joaquin Wilde walked out, looking for some revenge on Adonis from TakeOver 31. After using that to his advantage, Jake opted to help Adonis. Santos Escobar joined his boys and Isaiah “Swerve” Scott did the same for Adonis and Atlas, leaving this a stalemate. I wonder if this will lead to Atlas challenging for the Cruiserweight title because Scott lost his last two chances. - Rhea Ripley and Raquel González had words when the Nightmare overheard Raquel talking some trash in an interview. It took a slew of officials to hold them apart. NXT did a very good job building this as a big time match in a short period of time, especially given González really hasn’t been a featured singles act prior to this. - Toni Storm picked up her first win back (obvs) against Aliyah. It’s great having this rockstar back on Wednesdays. This was a solid episode. Some of these matches feel longer than usual. That is good for matches like Shotzi vs. Candice. Not as necessary for Theory vs. Gargano. Running TakeOver rematches and lacking the men’s title scene makes these shows feel less essential, but they’re still not bad. |
