Pay-Per-Views

The single biggest take away from Survivor Series was that NXT seems to have been officially established as a third brand in WWE. NXT is no longer just developmental, but rather a place that has more of a focus on recruiting young talent that has not previously been with the company. It just feels right … Read moreSurvivor Series

Most true wrestling fans have an appreciation for NXT Takeover events because while only 4-5 matches take place at each one, they are still of the utmost quality and keep fans talking about them for several months until the next Takeover. The current NXT superstars who will most likely be receiving a sizable push heading … Read moreNXT Takeover: WarGames

The first-ever women’s match in Saudi Arabia signifies a major cultural shift in terms of the way women are viewed in society in the Middle East. This societal leap matters way more than the result of the match. It also makes perfect sense as to who was featured in the match. Natalya is a well-respected … Read moreCrown Jewel 2019

Since 2009 when Hell in a Cell began, WWE has established this event as a slower-paced environment where superstars get the opportunity, and an adequate amount of time, to showcase their in-ring ability and properly tell stories. The event didn’t disappoint this time around as the matches were some of the best I’ve seen in … Read moreHell in a Cell 2019 – Menacing Fiend

This was a very efficiently executed event, and the first meaningful match of the night, besides the Cruiserweight match, featured a hometown boy in Cedric Alexander challenging AJ Styles for the United States Championship. An outsider looking in almost had to expect Alexander to win the title because it took place from his hometown in … Read moreClash of Champions – The Fiend Challenging Rollins Next

Great show, but first of all let’s discuss the people who were left off SummerSlam. We’ll start with Roman Reigns. Are you kidding me, leaving your supposed top dog off the shelf? I try to stay away from highlighting the negatives from WWE because that’s just not me, but it’s hard not to acknowledge that … Read moreSummerSlam / Seeeeeeeeth!!!

This was an excellent Takeover event, even though there weren’t any title changes. Mauro Ranallo was bouncing all over on commentary as usual with references to people like Kawhi Leonard and Rick Ross (not to mention the “Mamma Mia” chants from the crowd). Johnny Gargano’s rivalry with Adam Cole can be described in one word: … Read moreNXT Takeover: Toronto II / Goodbye Johnny?

The three most surprising events which took place at the pay-per-view were: Brock Lesnar cashing in Shinsuke Nakamura becoming Intercontinental Champion And all three members of The New Day leaving the event as champions Let’s start with Lesnar, shall we? We all have no choice but to give Lesnar major credit because every time he … Read moreThe Beast is Back

Before addressing what did happen, let me address who did not show up at Stomping Grounds and may have been pivotal pieces if they had been present: The Miz didn’t make an appearance, and this was surprising because I figure that he might appear in the Roman Reigns match and help him get the victory … Read moreBiggest Surprise, Who Was Missing

There was a very old-school type vibe given off by the Super Showdown event in the way the event was paced because nothing felt like it was rushed (WWE is guilty of this at times as they continue to expand as a business). The Saudi Arabia government has to be slightly disappointed that a Brock … Read moreOld-School Feel

The main event of Takeover: XXV was the number one reason why the WWE universe gravitates toward NXT so much, and that is because of the level of focus and attention to detail regarding the in-ring work. Each move of matches is easily better thought out and the performers pay special attention to the detail … Read moreXXV – Adam Champ Baby

Before I even discuss the pay-per-view, it needs to quickly be addressed how the Viking Raiders demonstrated some selfishness by relinquishing the NXT Tag Team Championships rather than putting over a deserving team like Street profits. I could be dead wrong about this, however, and they could have been instructed by management to relinquish the … Read moreMITB: Lesnar is Back!
