Didn't realize we were following NJPW as well. What's the context of HHH going there? Really interesting.

Re: Judgement Day - WWE 2K18 Universe Mode

Didn't realize we were following NJPW as well. What's the context of HHH going there? Really interesting.

First time I did a show for them, actually!

Easy rundown:

Triple H fully took over NXT. They became their own brand, and were having entertaining shows to compete with Raw and Smackdown as a live third brand. Vince McMahon shut down NXT seeing as they haven't moved the needle since its creation, and were indeed costing the WWE money. Triple H and Stephanie were granted their releases of the company, and they both signed 2 year deals with NJPW. This was the debut for both of them. All NXT superstars were also released.

Re: Judgement Day - WWE 2K18 Universe Mode

Nice job on RAW, loving the Jordan/Sullivan pairing and Strowman. Jordan should've turned heel somehow IRL, either with some sort of revelation that he faked being Angle's son or something like you did with Angle helping Jordan out. I feel like Strowman being a Steve Austin-esque face who destroys everything is better than the "superhuman" stuff that he's booked as in real life, with the flipping over cars and all that. Overall I love your writing style and how you book angles, it's definitely inspired me for my Universe.

[SmooveMove]

Re: Judgement Day - WWE 2K18 Universe Mode

Nice show. Love Joe, and EY in mixing it up in the main event scene. Strowmans always an awesome character. My favorite part of the show was probably Cena vs. Hardy. I like that matchup a lot and the way the match itself was written.

Re: Judgement Day - WWE 2K18 Universe Mode

The Miz: Smackdown Live...did you miss me? I am here to make this show must see TV again! I am back to where the land of opportunity arises. I know there were some confused looks on Monday Night Raw last night. Smackdown superstar Dolph Ziggler showed up on Raw to face me. Of course I won. However, Shane McMahon allowed Dolph to show up for me to get a taste of Smackdown talent. My contract expired after the show and I decided to sign here on Smackdown! This is now the A-List show! Unfortunately Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel will be staying on Monday Nights, and my beautiful wife, Maryse is at home with our unborn child. I am here on Smackdown and I am ready for my close up!








Jeff Hardy: Mike. I came here in a trade. I was in a weird broken universe with my brother, Matt. I want to be United States Champion. I want to be WWE Champion. I want them at the same time, and you won't be the reason I don't achieve what I want!


The Miz: Well, hello Jeff. How about this. I am going to make that burning light shine again in you and this Sunday at Backlash I will be making my in-ring return to Smackdown Live in a one on one match against you!


Jeff Hardy: To the power of the underworld, I accept.

Re: Judgement Day - WWE 2K18 Universe Mode

What a f'n show! My thoughts on each match.

Miz/Hardy - I had Miz winning this one, mainly because in real life I see Miz cheating and winning against a Jeff Hardy 9/10 times. In hindsight you've been pushing Jeff pretty hard so I should have had him winning. I like the character you've got going for him btw.

Rousey/Riott - I did not expect that result at all, shocker for sure. Though I like what it set up. My only question is what's with the random Nia Jax offense? Freudian slip or am I missing something there?

Ambrose/Styles - Brutal match! Ambrose vs. Styles is just awesome even in text form. I love heel Ambrose cheating to win. Can't wait to see where that goes.

US F4W - Put my face in my hands at the result of this one. I could totally see that happening, and Owens and Sami would totally make it work too. This opens up a lot of different story possibilities.

New Day/Rusev Day - Battle of the days! Not much to say about this one, solid buffer tag and I'm cool with New Day winning.

Batista/Jinder - Awesome touch at the start with Batista asking Jinder, that is a badass move. You captured his character well with him shooing the doctors away, something he'd totally do. Awesome match and ending. Hoping for more from Batista.

MCMG/AOP - I saw the result coming so I'm not shocked. Great Davids vs. Goliaths kind of tag dynamic and gonna be cool to see where AOP can go with their reign.

Bryan/Shinsuke - I love this main event and Bryan winning. Great back and forth action and no shenanigans, exactly how a PPV should end (most of the time)

I am glad you liked the show, man!

Jeff Hardy is coming into his own with a more original gimmick for himself. Miz didnt need this win too bad, glad to move him to Smackdown, though!

Weird mess up on my part is all! Haha.

I had been waiting and chomping at the bit to bring Ambrose in this Universe, and I think that in-ring return was well worth the wait.

Owens and Zayn are awesome, haha.

New Day had been showing some shade with each other lately. Good to see them working well with each other in this match on a PPV.

Batista is a bad ***! Gearing up for this last run/contract with the WWE and his feud with Jinder is now over!

The AOP are just so hard to beat. That match was fun to play and see unfold.

Bryan is WWE Champion and CM Punk is Universal Champion...nothing to see here...

Re: Judgement Day - WWE 2K18 Universe Mode

Shane McMahon: So, I did something last week I think will answer a question many of you have. Two weeks ago, Kurt Angle fired Braun Strowman for assaulting CM Punk, Jason Jordan, Lars Sullivan, and himself. However, I needed to sign off the walking papers that Angle was clearly not able to. Though, I did not want to see Braun fired. I want Braun Strowman here on Monday Night Raw, and I want to become the commissioner of Monday Night Raw!









Kurt Angle: What in the hell are you talking about Shane!? Everyone knows when Stephanie and Hunter left I became the commissioner and general manager of this show! Where the hell does that leave me? Two weeks ago I got my *** kicked by the Monster Among Men, but now I am about to do the same to you!


Shane McMahon: Woah, woah, woah...Kurt. How about I let my friend let you know what I plan to do with you.







~ Braun Strowman is making his way down to the ring!



Kurt Angle: You know, Shane. I did not put this past you, and that is why I am going to introduce the newest signee to Monday Night Raw, and Braun Strowman's opponent at Money in the Bank!








~ OH MY GOD! BOBBY LASHLEY IS BACK IN THE WWE! Bobby Lashley and Braun Strowman are in the ring, Shane and Angle take a step back to the apron of the ring. Strowman comes in strong, but Lashley ducks a clothesline and bounces off the rope to connect with a spear! Braun Strowman has bailed out to the ramp, and he and Shane are heading to the back.



Kurt Angle: Shane. You want Raw so bad, how about this. Me and you at Money in the Bank. Winner gets Raw. Loser is gone from the WWE for good!

IN-RING SEGMENT:
~ CM Punk is in the middle of the ring.

However, that is due to an injury I suffered against Braun Strowman in our Last Man Standing Match. But, now, I AM BACK! I am going to show that by having an open challenge tonight, and if that person defeats me they get a shot at the Universal Championship at Money in the Bank!
