Re: Judgement Day - WWE 2K18 Universe Mode

Good set of shows. Interesting show debuts and newcomers for sure.

I will say that I was a bit disappointed that NXT wasn't fully typed up, especially since it is now its own major show. This week started off hot for NXT with this huge announcement about it being given to Triple H and then the big signings and then it kind of ended with a fizzle with only results.

I think you missed a huge opportunity here with this decision.

You're right...

I know right!?

Gable and Benjamin attacking both AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura has definitely put them on the map!

The Hardy Boyz are now completely WOKEN! YEEEESSS.

Kevin Owens is fed up. Sami Zayn quit right after WrestleMania quietly, and Kevin Owens confronted it, and left himself. Will we see them back in the indies?

Also, Wis is totally right. I wanted to make time for a second project in which I will be posting in a few hours so thought scrapping NXT actual show would save time, but I can do it all! I am going to quote the results and do the show also today so you guys can truly see what is happening down there as well!

Re: Judgement Day - WWE 2K18 Universe Mode

Mauro Ranallo: Welcome to NXT, the second ever live episode of our great show, but the first of our independence! We are now free of the stronghold known as the "main roster" as we are now a third major brand in the WWE! We have some massive debuts tonight, don't you miss it!







Triple H: N-X-T! ARE YOU READY!? Tonight we are making history. We are the third brand of the WWE, we are no longer a development group! We are the best brand in the United States, and in the world. We are NXT, we are alive and well, WE ARE HERE TO STAY! We lost the Authors of Pain and Sanity to Raw and Smackdown, but if that is the last time we lose talent to the main roster, so be it. We added Trevor Mann, and War Machine to our roster, and Mann will be debuting, next.



ONE ON ONE MATCH:
Trevor Mann vs. Buddy Murphy
I have never seen a match like this before, and there’s a good chance that unless these two meet again, I never will. This was state-of-the-art innovation in terms of what two humans are capable of doing inside of a wrestling ring. The two gaijin, one from Kentucky, the other from Australia, invoked “This is awesome!” and “holy ****!” chants from the Full Sail faithful. There was a universal connection here. While watching it, it felt like something truly special; something different.

Murphy showed that he could very well be having his coming out party as he looked like a world class talent at this point. A candidate for Most Improved Wrestling might be very possible this year and I’m sure he will be for many more years to come. His body control is unmatched and to go along with his fundamentals, he delivered strikes in this match that looked so, so great, most notably a headbutt to Ricochet that made me jump off of my couch.

The last few minutes of the match saw both men go back to their roots and literally pull everything out of their bag of high-flying tricks: shooting star press, phoenix splash, brain buster, and my favorite spot of the match a Reverse Hurricanrana reversed into Reverse Hurricanrana. It was nuts, folks.

Interestingly enough, throughout this stretch they never left the ring. It’s easy to immediately fall to the outside and start hitting suicide dives to get the crowd going but these guys kept their spectacularness contained within the squared circle, a subtle but really cool aspect to this match. Kickout after kickout had the crowd going absolutely insane before Mann finally ended it with a Benadryller.

Spoiler

Winner: Trevor Mann

TAG TEAM MATCH:
Undisputed Era vs. TM-61
Nick and O’Reilly start things off with a quick exchange of holds that ends with a dropkick by Miller. Tag to Shane, who lifts Kyle on his shoulders before a double team gets Shane a nearfall. Shane locks up Kyle but takes a knee as Fish is tagged in. Shane sends Fish out of the ring, but is blocked by Kyle before he tries a dive. Fish takes advantage by running right into Shane, Muy Thai knees and a snap mare followed by a senton off the ropes for a nearfall. Tag to Kyle and a double team into a double suplex for a nearfall. Tag to Fish again and they double team Shane some more before Fish gets a nearfall. Shane fights back with a chop twice over but is blocked by Fish. Shane fakes Fish out before hitting a snap DDT and goes for the tag…but Kyle cuts him off, dropping Miller off the apron! Shane and Kyle exchange holds as Shane gets to the bottom rope to break the hold. Cole gets onto the apron, distracting the ref as Fish rams Shane into the barricade as we go to break!

Back from break, Fish hits a back suplex for a nearfall. Shane in the corner as Fish charges, but Shane blocks it only to be lifted up by Fish…Shane gets out, hitting a Seven Star Lariat! Hot tag to Nick as Kyle tags in, and Miller unloads a flurry of offense looking for a deadlift German suplex but Kyle blocks it. Kyle charges at Nick, but gets lifted into a modified exploder by Miller who hits a running Shooting Star Press for a nearfall. Shane sends Fish outside and they double team Kyle for a nearfall. Dive through the ropes by Shane as Nick looks for the Miller Delight…but Kyle gets a guillotine body scissors on Miller! Nick manages to get the strength to lighten the pressure as Shane goes to help but is stopped by Fish, who chops Nick down. Kyle lifts Nick up and they hit the move formerly known as Chasing the Dragon as Kyle goes for the cover…two count before Nick gets a foot on the bottom rope! They go for it a second time but it’s blocked as Shane is tagged in. Shane unloads on both Fish and O’Reilly, but Kyle hits a cross arm breaker until Shane gets out getting a hold of the leg of Kyle. Outside the ring, Cole drops Miller down hard with a superkick as Fish and O’Reilly hit stereo roundhouse kicks followed by a Total Elimination that gives them the win!

Winners: Undisputed Era

They leave Rush unconscious in the middle of the ring.





ONE ON ONE MATCH:
Adam Cole vs. Aleister Black
After some hesitation, both men lock up and Black immediately wrenching the arm of Cole who counters, but is countered by Cole who escapes and yells out “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” They lock up again, and Cole gets the upper hand with a snap mare before leading the crowd in his taunt again. Another lockup and this time, Black slams Cole down to the canvas. Black with a knee and a flurry of strikes that sends Cole out of the ring as Black takes a seat in the middle of the ring.

Back from break, Cole is in control with an armbar into a crossface. Black struggles in the lock, inching his way to the ropes to break the hold. Cole yells at Black as he continues the attack, leading to one more “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY” before Black gets to his feet, hitting some hard strikes on Cole. He follows up with a rolling kick and a kip up, charging at Cole with a hard forearm and a springboard attack to take Cole down. Cole slows things down before catching Black on the top rope, climbing up and leaping right into a hard kick by Black, who picks up a nearfall in the process.

BACKSTAGE SEGMENT:
- We cue to Kurt Angle backstage, and Jason Jordan along with Lars Sullivan walk up to him.


Jason Jordan: Dad, you have to get Samoa Joe off my back. The guy does not deserve a shot at my title, and last week proved that. He was no match for me, and Lars was tired of the onslaught I was giving him, and took him out.


Kurt Angle: I see where your concern is, son. How about this...up next if Lars can defeat Joe in a singles match, Joe can never challenge for the Intercontinental Championship as long as you are champion. However, if Lars does lose somehow, Joe will get a title shot at the next Pay-Per-View because I have to be fair.


Jason Jordan: I knew you would do the right thing! Thanks dad!

Rollins and Young apparently have a past together we saw last week. Could more of it be true than what Rollins was leading on?

Samoan Empire has been something I have been toying with. They basically all have The Usos personality since they've turned heel. Roman is wearing his old NXT trunk and a Samoan Empire tank top.
