Sorry for being late as hubby Phil had surgery this past Thursday and is now home.
Our Condolences to the family of the Iron Sheik at the news of his passing.
Just a reminder that this is my opinion on the week’s shows.
**RAW
The show opened with Adam Pearce in the ring presenting Rhea with a new RAW Women’s belt. It looks similar to Seth Rollins’ Heavyweight belt, but there are some changes. Of course, Dom Dom had to show up. Cody Rhodes came out to face Dom once again but got blindsided by The Miz, Cody would face Dom in a match later on. Cody/Dom is scheduled for a match at Money in the Bank. Cody would face The Miz after the commercial, with Cody winning.
Matt Riddle would face Damien Priest for the final spot in the Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match which, Damien would win. (Rumor has it that Damien may get kicked out of Judgement Day, turning him babyface. Being rewarded for all his hard work of late)
Becky Lynch is in the ring to cut a promo and have a match with Chelsea Green. Zoe Stark, watching from the Ramp, sitting on a ladder.
Seth Rollins putting the Heavyweight Championship on the line against Finn Balor at Money in the Bank.
Ricochet faced Bronson Reed. Shinsuke Nakamura got involved causing a disqualification and giving the win to Bronson.
Raquel Rodriguez took on Shayna Baszler with Ronda Rousey in her corner. Needless to say with Ronda’s help, as per usual Shayna got the win.
Kevin Owens/ Sami Zayn putting the Tag Team belts on the line against Gunther/Lugwig Kaiser. It was a hell of a match, with some help from Matt Riddle, Kevin dropped Gunther on his head on the ramp, keeping him away from the ring so Sami could pin Kaiser.
**NXT
6 man tag team has Schism facing Mustafa Ali/Tyler Bate/Wes Lee. I am a fan of Tyler’s (watching him win the first NXT U.K Title) Tyler Bate with the pin, for the win
Bron Brekker issued a challenge to Seth Rollins for a title match, which Seth accepted. The match will take place next week.
Cora Jade (the resident bully) faces off against Thea Hail (I am still amazed that Thea won the battle royal to face Tiffany Straun for the NXT Women’s title. I can see Thea winning but hope it’s a good match, letting it play out) Dana Brooks at ringside after Cora slapped Dana during her interview. Thea with the Kamora lock forcing Cora to tap out
*Great American Bash is scheduled for July 30th
Roxanne Perez calls out Blair Davenport.
Barron Corbin facing Illja Dragunov. (The winner of this match is the #1 contender for the NXT Men’s title) It was a good match, but having pockets of taking charge in the match. Breakker stuck his nose in giving Corbin the win but Corbin gets jumped by Camillo Hayes.
**Smackdown
Tag Team Gaulant match for face Kevin/Sami. Street Profits start out against The Brawling Brutes (Rich Holland/Sheamus) Brawling Brutes continue to face the Good Brothers (The O.C) (Gallows/Anderson) The Brutes beat the Good Brothers now facing the L.W.O. The Brutes take out the L.W.O and Hight Row. Pretty Deadly is the final team. (fingers crossed for the Brutes, not a fan of Pretty Deadly) Once again, Pretty Deadly steal the win, facing Kevin/Sami in 2 weeks at Money in the Bank.
Iyo Sky heading to the ring to face Zelina Vega. Thanks to Bayley getting involved, Zelina gets the win.
Michin/A.J Styles is on the way to the ring for a mixed tag team against Karron Kross/Scarlet.
The question of the night is will Jey Uso fall in line or tell Roman to get screwed? (Rumor is that Jey will face Roman at Money in the Bank) Jimmy just asks Jey who he believes, Roman or Jimmy? Jey just super-kicked Roman, and they turned on Sakoa also. Roman is livid. Screaming at the twins. Roman gets super kicked a second time. The twins are out. (You should hear the Universe, they are cheering the boys) Paul Heyman ran like the coward he is.
The Bloodline is NO MORE
