JNorth1989’s WWE Raw Review
April 4, 2016

RAW AFTER WRESTLEMANIA!

FROM DIVA’S TO WOMAN: Stephanie McMahon and the divas roster are in the ring. She informed us after The UnderTaker defeated Shane so the Authority continues to rule & she will be in charge for the evening. Stephanie then said Triple H will not be in attendance this evening but promised that there will be hell to pay for Roman Reigns when he returns. She went on to say that Roman can pack his bags and go home because he won’t be needed.
Steph then moved on to why all the divas were in the ring. She put the ladies over for their efforts at Mania, and brought out Charlotte. She informed us that last night during the preshow and during Mania the diva division had died and the ladies in the ring will now be known as woman superstars (well guess that’s the last time I’ll type divas)! She praised Charlotte’s performance and congratulated her on becoming the new WWE Women’s champion. Afterwards she announced a 10 woman tournament that would start tonight to name her #1 contender at Payback. As the woman leave the ring Naomi attempted to make a request for a match vs Brie after tapping to the YES! lock. Steph stated the main reason this tournament is happening is because Brie turned her papers in for retirement this morning. However, since Naomi didn’t want to trust in Stephanie plans and just wanted to make her matches she could have her first match. Naomi asked which woman she was going to have to beat. Steph explained none of these ladies ringside was her opponent & that she’ll be facing the debuting…. BAYLEY!

MATCH 1
Women’s #1 Contenders Tournament:
Bayley vs Naomi

Bayley opened the match with a beautiful arm drag and taunts Naomi playing to the crowd’s excitement. Naomi ended up battling back however and hit a nasty neck breaker to gain control. The women went on to reverse a lot of each other’s moves which frustrated Naomi causing her to escape to the outside. Bayley followed and made Naomi pay hitting a nasty suplex before rolling her inside the ring for the first 2 count of the match. Naomi ended up battling back and using the eye rake to gain the advantage. Singling out Baley’s back plus picking up a few near falls. Bayley would not give up and battled back hitting a Bayley to belly for the victory! Bayley will move on to the second round of the tournament and face former friend Becky Lynch next week on RAW!

VIDEO PACKAGE: It showed the Dudleyz vs Usos from WrestleMania 32 & the Usos splashing both Dudleyz threw the tables. The announcers informed us that tonight we would be seeing D-Von vs Jey Uso in a tables match… AND IT WAS NEXT!

MATCH 2
Tables Match:
D-Von Dudley vs Jey Uso

DVon Dudley wasted no time going straight to the outside and grabbing a table. Jey attempted to follow which was a huge mistake as DVon nailed strong moves on the outside floor. DVon wasted too much time taunting the fans as when he reentered the ring Jey took control. Both men battled back an forth over using the table till Jey set it up in the corner. Jey went to irish whip DVon into the table but was reversed and nearly put threw. Both men continued to battle back and forth until Jey Uso out of nowhere back dropped D-Von threw the table for the victory.

CHALLENGE: Jey Uso celebrated his victory when Bubba Ray Dudley attacked out of nowhere. Jimmy Uso came down and made the save knocking Bubba to the floor. Jimmy grabbed a mic and said Jey shouldn’t have all the fun this evening then challenged Bubba Ray to a table match himself. Bubba accepted the challenge and the match started instantly as the doctors helped DVon to the back!

MATCH 3
Tables Match:
Bubba Ray Dudley vs Jimmy Uso

It was back and forth action between both men to open the match. Jimmy Uso ended up finally gaining control hitting a butterfly suplex out of nowhere which allowed him to go grab a table. By the time he got back in the ring Bubba had recovered though and too it straight to Jimmy. Jimmy battled back though connecting with one of his vintage super kicks. Jimmy then said the table in the ring wasn’t enough and tore apart the announcers table. Again though he took too long and by the time he got back in the ring Bubba took control. Unfortunately for Bubba though it didn’t last long & Jimmy hit the Samoan Drop + Uso splash! Jimmy ended up getting too cocky and tried to get Bubba threw the announce table which resulted in a low blow by Bubba. Bubba then picked Jimmy up and threw him threw the table on the outside for the victory!

PAYBACK: After the match the lights cut off and when turned on the Wyatt’s appeared outside the ring. Bubba Dudley had disappeared and Jimmy was all alone ringside. The Wyatt’s attacked and beatdown Jimmy! Jey attempted to come down and make the save but was caught by a big boot from Rowan. Rowen and Strowman held Jey in place as Bray hit Sister Abagail on Jimmy into the ring steps. The lights cut off again and when they turned back on the Wyatts were in their pose up on the ramp while Jey attempted to get help for Jimmy. Bray screamed PAYBACK WILL BE OURS as we cut to break!

LONE WOLF HAS ARRIVED: Back from break Baron Corbin made his way to the ring and was announced as the winner of the Andre The Giant Battle Royal. Corbin stood by the statue and stated if you don’t know who he was, he doesn’t care but you’d soon learn. He has carved a path of devastation, and has broken dreams to get here. His arrival signals the end of days for anyone that stands in his way because he already is the greatest winner of the ATGMBR!

MATCH 4
Baron Corbin vs Kane

You know I don’t want to steal WWE normal quotes especially when it isn’t true most of the time but… I have never seen Kane get squashed like Baron Corbin did. BC wasted absolutely no time showing the WWE Universe what he was made of from start to finish. Baron tossed Kane around inside and outside the ring throwing him into the guard rail, rings steps, and the rings post while hitting power moves after power moves. The match ended up the Lone Wolf hitting the End Of Days for like I said an easy victory.

POST MATCH BEATDOWN: Baron Corbin continued to beat down Kane after the match and attempted to big boot Kane’s head into the ring post when Big Show’s music hit. Big Show came running down to stop Corbin who escaped through the crowd before confrontation.

MOMENT OVER: We cut to Stephanie with Zack Ryder in her office. She saw the Razor Ramon photo and how he had his WrestleMania moment! She super sarcastically couldn’t have been happier for him. Though it was now time for the dream to come to an end and that for the next 6 WWE events he will be taking on each man from last night’s ladder match! Now if those men go on to beat him in a 1 on 1 match they earn a shot for the Intercontinental title at PAYBACK… Because we all know it’s a b****, she then throws him out of her office as we cut back to the ring.

MATCH 5
6 Man Battle Royal:
D. Ziggler vs K. Owens vs Miz vs S. Zayn vs S. Cara vs Stardust

The match was an absolute cluster and hard to follow as you’d expect with these 6 individuals in the ring so I will mainly just give you the breakdown of eliminations:
(1) The Miz eliminated by Sami Zayn after hitting the Helluva Kick an easily tossing him over the ropes.
(2) Sin Cara eliminated by Sami Zayn after hitting the Helluva Kick when Sin Cara was on the outside of the ring. (FANS WERE GOING NUTS WITH OLE’ CHANTS!)
After the elimination of Miz and Sin Cara the 4 remaining men took turns beating the living heck out of each other. Each man came close to being eliminated and yet somehow held on. Despite only having 4 men in the ring Zayn/KO didn’t get much 1 on 1 time during this period which the fans were chanting for.
(3) Kevin Owens eliminated by Sami Zayn by surprise dive threw the ropes!
Yes ladies and gents you read it right Sami Zayn eliminated KO by surprise and we were down to 3 as the refs/security had to make sure KO didn’t get involved. Despite being down to 3 none of the 2 men could get along enough to work together to eliminate someone until…
(4) Dolph Ziggler eliminated by Stardust after forearm smash
We were down to 2 for maybe 5 seconds when…
(5) StarDust eliminated by Sami Zayn after quick toss over the ropes

MATCH 6
Women’s #1 Contenders Tournament:
Alicia Fox vs Summer Rae

RESTROOM BREAK & FOOD BREAK!!! When I came back to the match Alicia Fox was announced the winner and will take on Sasha Banks in the next round.

VIDEO PACKAGE: It is announced that on this week’s SmackDown Baron Corbin will be going 1 on 1 with Big Show! We then went into a recap of how League of Nations defeated The New Day last night to earn a title shot. We get informed it will be a cage match to prevent any outside interference from the other two members of LON & the member of ND.

MATCH 7
WWE Tag Team Title Cage Match:
League of Nations (Sheamus & W. Barrett) vs The New Day (Big E & K. Kingston)

WOW before I even could start typing I looked up and Kofi + Sheamus had escaped the cage. Big E then attempted to follow quickly but was taken down Barrett with a super plex. The same ended up happening to Barrett. Wade nearly escaped as he got to the top of the cage but Big E tackled him back down. Big E then hit the Big Ending and climbed out the cage to secure the victory for New Day.

I’VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS: The New Day celebrated up on the ramp to end the show and The League of Nations sat in the ring angry. Sheamus said that they should be destroying everyone, but something is wrong. This led to them beating down Barrett and tossing him all over the cage. The League of Nations stood tall to end the show and New Day looking on confused as the show ended.

PS SUPRISINGLY THE MATCHES W/L WERE ACTUAL EVENTS

NXT! NXT!! NXT!!!

JNorth1989’s NXT Review
April 6, 2016

IT’S RAWLEY TIME: The show opened with a video clip from earlier today between William Regal and MoJo Rawley in Regal’s office. They talked about WrestleMania 32 and Ryder winning the IC title at WrestleMania. Regal informed Rawley because of that the Hype Bros won’t be getting a shot at American Alpha & the NXT Tag Team titles. Rawley started getting upset over this requesting permission to find another partner! Regal denied it but said he will have a chance to start proving himself as a single competitor. Alex Riley busted in to Regal’s office as he passed the door screaming about how he continues to get passed over because of hyped idiots like MoJo. MoJo and Riley get nose to nose when Regal stepped in. He informs them that tonight they both have a chance to prove it to Regal on why they deserve a singles push as we cut to the opening promo.

MATCH 1
Alex Riley vs MoJo Rawley

The match opens with MoJo over powering Riley with tie ups into the corner and pure wrestling take downs. Riley battled back however and hit a beautiful dropkick sending MoJo to the floor. Riley attempted to follow and pays for it getting tossed into the guard rail plus stairs before being tossed back in the ring. MoJo then wasted no time hitting Riley with The Hyper Driver for the 1-2-3 victory. This was an absolute dominating performance by MoJo and showed an aggressive side that we haven’t seen from him.

#1 CONTENDERSHIP FOR WOMAN’S TITLE: We get Regal speaking to Emma and Eva Marie backstage. Both woman were upset about not being part of the WWE Woman’s tournament despite being in WrestleMania’s match! Regal explains it was because he decided to give them a match for #1 contendership of the NXT women’s title instead & the match would be next!

MATCH 2
WOMEN’S TITLE #1 CONTENDERSHIP
Eva Maria w/ Nia Jax vs Emma w/ Dana Brooks

This match started off very slow paced with Emma using her experience to out wrestle E. Maria. Emma ended up stomping a mud hole in the corner right in front of Nia taunting her as she was doing so. The taunting backfired however as Eva caught her foot and hit a Russian Leg Sweep for a two count. Back and forth striking match started as Emma fought to her feet before gaining control and throwing Eva to the outside by her hair. The ref got distracted by Emma attempting to go to the outside which gave Dana Brooks a chance to nail a vicious clothesline an throw Eva back inside which started a chase down from Nia. Nia and Dana start brawling on the outside which distracts the ref from seeing Eva tap to the Emma lock. Emma gets frustrated and starts screaming for the ref to get back in the ring. The ref does so but unfortunately for Emma when she turns to attack Eva she is caught with Slice Red #2 & a pinfall.

SORE LOSER: We are now taken to two weeks ago, when Elias Samson suffered his first ever loss to Johnny Gargano. He attacked afterwards until Apollo Crews made the save, leading to tonight’s main event.

MATCH 3
Colin Cassady w/ Carmella vs Murphy w/ Alexa Bliss

Size mattered yet again in this match opening as Big Cass used his to gain control. Murphy responded to that though using dirty tactics and his manager to attempt to keep Cass grounded. It seemed to be working as Murphy had a few 2 counts including a very close near fall after hitting a brutal back suplex off the top rope followed up by a running knee. This frustrated Murphy & Alexa Bliss big time. Bliss then attempted to distract the ref as she tossed in a chair but it backfired as Cass stole it & used it on Murphy. Carmella then pulled Alex off the apron! Cass picked Murphy up and hit the East River Crossing followed by the Empire Elbow for the victory.

BOYS SHOULDN’T HAVE ALL THE FUN: Carmella grabbed the mic as Murphy and Alexa made their way up the ramp. She challenged Alexa to a match since she seems to be in a fighting mood unless she’s SAWFT! Alexa agrees and came running down the ramp sliding into the ring!

MATCH 4
Carmella w/ Colin Cassady vs Alexa Bliss w/ Murphy

Carmella spears Alexa down and pounds her head into the mat. Bliss battles back however nailing a nasty kick to Carmella’s head for a 2 count. Bliss taunted the crowd screaming becareful what you ask for and then kisses Murphy for good luck. The taunting lasted too long and a hair pulling old fashion cat fight broke out between the two woman. Another brawl between Big Cass & Murphy breaks out after Murphy attempts to pull Carmella down + distract the ref when she went for a pin. Alexa uses the distraction from the two men and rolls Carmella up for the victory holding the tights. Alexa quickly slid out of the ring and celebrated on the ramp with Murphy as Carmella looked on shocked inside the ring.

MAIN EVENT
Apollo Crews vs Elias Samson

They circle each other and lock up. Samson takes Crews over but backs into the corner and kisses his guitar. Samson works a headlock and even holds the ropes to avoid getting sent off by Crews. That’s smart. He runs up the ropes for a takedown but Crews gets free. He shows off athleticism before scoring on a dropkick and arm drags. Crews wrenches the arm for a bit. Samson tries to send Crews outside but as he falls out, he keeps hold of the arm, taking Samson out with him. Back inside, Samson breaks it, only to run into arm drag and back into it. Samson stops a Crews springboard, sending him to the mat heading into a commercial break. Returning, Samson is in control and nails a shoulder block. He works a chinlock for a while. Once that ends, Samson stomps away in the corner. Crews reverses a whip but takes a kind of mule kick from Samson for two. More chinlock action from Samson. The “Drifter” reels off some right hands but Crews blocks it and starts a rally. He gets in his own shots and a corner splash, followed by a leaping clothesline. A jumping kick scores for two. Samson goes outside and Crews hits a moonsault off the apron. Inside, he hits the gorilla press and tries a moonsault but Samson gets his feet up to block. Crews tries a sunset flip but Samson holds on for a near fall. He hits a high knee and gets a near fall since he crawled to the cover. Crews blocks Samson and ends up nailing his powerbomb finish to win. We close the show with Crews standing on the ropes doing the typical title signal across his stomach signifying that this maybe the start & he wants his title shot!
