It’s been an interesting couple of weeks. The return of Randy Orton was brilliant. He looks better now than when he got hurt. I am just still not sure about CM Punk. I think he can do a lot for the WWE. (leave the meltdowns out of it)
Been watching AEW, and got interested in a few storylines there. Been watching the Adam Copeland/Christian Cage storyline. This one will get interesting. I knew that Adam would not win the belt this time out but I am hoping it can happen at some point. Hubby has become a fan of Jon Moxley. Mox is pretty good and doesn’t take anything from anyone. It’s been good to see those who have left WWE and making names for themselves in other places.
**RAW — This week’s show was from Cleveland. Jey Uso opened the show. I was hoping to see Jey use sign language, as have seen others do. Jey thought it was important to bring to the WWE and have been learning. Drew McIntyre has turned full heel and will stop at nothing to try and destroy Jey and anyone else who gets in his way.
CM Punk is now on RAW. It will be interesting to see how they build the feud between CM and Seth Rollins. If it’s done right it can become explosive at just the right time.
The match between Maxine Dupree/Rhea was, OK I guess. Max did her best to hold her own but Rhea is still that bully. Just waiting for her to lose the belt, sooner the better but most likely won’t happen til Wrestlemania.
***WRESTLEMANIA Weekend — Friday, April 5 will be Smackdown and the Hall of Fame. On Saturday, April 6 will be NXT Stand and Deliver. Also on April 6 will be night one of Wrestlemania. Wrestlemania Night 2 will be on Sunday, April 7. RAW post-Wrestlemania will be on Monday, April 8
Bronson Reed/Ivar — they both blow me away with how agile they are in the ring. Normally guys of this size should not be able to move the way they do. Michael Cole said they move like Cruiserweights at times. I agree.
Been reading that Triple H is finally giving the Women’s Tag division it deserves. I love Kayden Carter/Katana Chance together. They have really worked hard, and are a good fit. They held the NXT Tag titles for a while, I wish they would finally get their hands on the Tag Titles in WWE. Also paired is Indy Hartwell with Candace LaRae (they will get better in time with more matches under their belt.
They have started the feud with Becky Lynch/Nia Jax. Starting back when Nia broke Becky’s nose. It’s good but I am not sure about it. I want to see where this one heads. Will this end at Royal Rumble or carry on to Wrestlemania? (Remember, Nia got fired for injuring too many of the ladies in the lockerroom)
Cody Rhodes/Shinsuke — I don’t understand this one. Lost all respect for Shinsuke as a character. I know Shinsuke is a heel but it’s always the mist, on the verge of losing and spitting the mist. I don’t even get the feud with Cody, can someone explain this one to me?
**NXT — Cora Jade has returned. Cora has made it known that she is coming after Lyra for the Women’s NXT Title. Blair Davenport sticking her nose in the mix as she will face Lyra at New Year’s Evil. Blair has another problem called Nakkita Lyons (whom Blair put out for almost a year)
Trey Bearhill was taken out by Lexis King in the breakout men’s tournament.
Tyler Bate facing Dragon Lee for the North American Title. It was a good match, they were left to see what they had. I wish Tyler would get called to the main roster. Dragon Lee kept the title.
**NXT Vengeance Day Sunday, February 4th from Clarksville, Tennessee
Trick Williams facing IIja Dragunov about their title match at New Year’s Evil. Carmello Hayes showed up trying to accuse IIja of being the one who attacked, Trick and Carmello himself. Carmello tried to take the NXT title away from IIja and, in the process hit Trick with it.
**SMACKDOWN — Roman has returned. It shall be interesting to see what happens today. (Rumour has it that Roman’s last match will be at Wrestlemania 40. Also Roman is not interested in a new contract.) With Randy back it will be interesting to see how things play out for now. Randy goes 1 on 1 with Jimmy Uso tonight. Roman just named Solo Sokia as the next tribal chief. Jimmy didn’t look happy. Randy just walked out. You should have heard the cheers.
This should be interesting with Greyson Waller facing Carmello Hayes. Carmello has the arsenal to beat Waller. I am not a fan of Carmello but I am glad he got the win.
**Charlotte will be out for the next 9 months as she has to have knee surgery. She tore her ACL, MCL and Meniscus. Wish her a speedy recovery.
Kevin Owens facing Austin Theory in a qualifying match for the right to advance in the United States Title tournament. Austin would target the broken hand but it was Owens with the win, knocking out Theory.
Randy faced Jimmy Uso, with Randy getting the win. Solo showed up but L.A. Knight came out to help but the return of A.J. Styles returned to help also but he took out L.A. at the end. (no clue why). Looks like A.J. is coming back as a heel.
