Does Anyone Watch Wrestling? (WWE, AEW, TNA, NWA, etc)

Royce Keys was back on Raw following the attack by Jacob Fatu a few weeks ago, and he didn't come alone. He brought OTM from NXT with him and they attacked The Usos plus LA Knight and Solo Sikoa during their main event tag match and they just destroyed all of them and looked like monsters, OTM were a good tag team on NXT so the call up was deserved and to have them debut in the main event was pretty cool.

Penta and Rey Fenix will face each other in the final of the 'winner loses to Roman Reigns in Mexico City' tournament, I'm still trying to learn the history of them two, I know they were a big tag team called the Lucha Bros but are they actually brothers? Anyway Fenix beat Dragon Lee in a fantastic match to progress whilst Penta beat La Parka.

It looks like there will be another NXT call up too as there was a little coming soon video featuring a woman which apparently is Lola Vice, its another call up that is deserved and I hope that both her and OTM gets good storylines and booking because its been a bit hit and miss for the recent NXT call ups.

Solo's great babyface run continues as during the opening promo bit Jey Uso did his warning shot thing and then Solo did the falling backwards in slow motion thing from the Matrix.

Yeah they're RL brothers

IT'S A NEW DAY LEVEL, YES IT IS 🎺 👏 🎺 👏

Royce Keys and OTM attacked the Usos and Solo Sikoa on Raw again last night, the attack on the Usos happened at the start to the show when they were arriving and it looked brutal, we didn't see the actual attack on Solo later in the night but we just saw him and a few others laid out, what was funny about the attacks was Netflix blurring out the blood and partially blurring out the Usos and Solo's faces because they were bleeding, Triple H later posted an unedited version of the Usos attack.

Penta beat his brother Rey Fenix to win the tournament in an excellent main event, it means that he will now face Roman Reigns for the world title on the Mexico City Raw in two weeks.

Catching up on All In. Good show. Will's entrance and the final match were top drawer.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Smackdown last night saw a WWE title match between champ CM Punk and Jonny Gargano, it sounds random and it was a bit. Gargano was doing his usual comatose laying on a box thing he has been doin for nearly a year now, Punk was backstage and said 'still doin this huh?' then he offered him a title shot in his hometown and then suddenly Gargano got up, they had the match which was good but did have the now usual distractions from Zayn, Gunther and Owens. Punk won but he was fed up with Zayn moaning about not having a fair shot so Punk offered him a title shot in Mexico City next week.

Sunday Night's Main Event is tomorrow so I'll post the card then.

There were some NXT releases last night, most notable ones were Jasper Troy and Zena Sterling who are previous winners of LFG, Adriana Rizzo and Wendy Choo were also released.

Well, I hope no-one there needs the fire brigade any time soon.

Anyway, speaking of All In, I was there, and I have the £8.50 receipt for a pint of Bud (🤢) to prove it.

I was up in the nosebleeds, but not even Jericho showing up could dampen my enjoyment. It took me a couple of pre-show matches to figure out whether to watch the screens on the pagoda or the ring itself.

My favourite match was the triple threat between Fletcher, Okada and Take****a. I may have been a bit too worn out by F1's own British bias to enjoy Omega vs Ospreay at the time, but I'll definitely try to re-watch it.

OTOH, the Casino Royale or whatever was probably the biggest let-down for me for not filling out the whole 21 spots. There was also the start of that match that triggered my inner Cornette.

Spoiler: mild language, not great news

This is the card for WWE's Sunday Night's Main Event tonight.

Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss & Tatum Paxley v Jade Cargill, Michin and B-Fab.

Baron Corbin v Lil Yachty.
(If Yachty last five minutes or longer then Trick William's get a US title shot v Corbin)

Bron Breakker v Oba Femi.

Cody Rhodes v Randy Orton.

There will also be a performance from rapper Quavo.

And that's the card, no title matches unless we do get a US title match but that would depend on rapper Lil Yachty lasting against Corbin, it will be on the YouTube channel overseas.

Sad news about the Butcher, I hope he pull through.

 

[Darla Starch]

I hope he pull through.

TMZ reporting he's since passed away

IT'S A NEW DAY LEVEL, YES IT IS 🎺 👏 🎺 👏

Wow, how exciting. A super WWE level per say.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

SNME was a good enjoyable show.

it started with the Corbin-Yachty challenge match, Yachty did actually manage the five minutes and looked pretty good in the ring but it was Corbin getting too cocky at the end and trying to punish Yachty more rather than just finish the match, the US title match happened right after and Trick Williams beat Corbin in a good match to win back the US title.

Next up was the 'future of WWE' match between Oba and Bron, this one was also a good back-and-forth match but it had no winner as Bronson Reed made his return from injury to attack Femi with a chair to cause the DQ, Bron and Bronson then laid Oba out with two spears and four tsunami's, Bronson looked great on his return thanks to his weight loss. The six woman tag match was pretty good. Jade Cargill hit the Jaded on Charlotte Flair for the win after Tatum Paxley was inadvertently thrown into her.

The main event between Rhodes and Orton was great as expected, there were three ref bumps (yeah really!) and Randy got busted open (looked like it was for real) after an onslaught from Rhodes and he hit him with the stairs, Orton actually begged and pleaded for mercy from Rhodes but of course it was a ruse as he hit him with a low blow and the RKO for the win.

The crowd were really good last night as well, they were red hot for the Lil Yachty stuff at the start as its Yachty's hometown of Atlanta.

Its a pretty big weekend for WWE and AAA.

CM Punk defends his WWE title against Sami Zayn tonight plus Chelsea Green v Nia Jax for the women's title with also the AAA cruiserweight and tag titles on the line too. Raw has Roman Reigns v Penta for the world title plus MITB qualifiers continue.

I'm certain that it will be an iconic show that no one will ever forget.

A rare house show title change

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Yeah it was a great moment for Stephanie, winning the title in her home country of Chile. Its the first title change at a WWE live event/house show for 2,445 days. Liv Morgan's women's title reign lasted for 147 days.

I love how chaotic the main event scene is on Smackdown right now, Sami Zayn is the new WWE champion having won the title back from CM Punk but the match was distraction filled with run-ins from Gargano, La Rae and Kevin Owens. Some of you might think its a bit much but I love it, there are so many guys at the top now in the running for a title shot, you got Punk obviously but then there's Owens, Balor, Gunther, Gargano and maybe Orton and Rhodes. Raw looks tame by comparison with only Penta and LA Knight challenging Roman Reigns right now.
