In RAW and Smackdown, you can see that stories are starting to head towards the next PPV which is Survivor Series. The is also talk of things starting to set up for the Elimination Chamber taking place in Perth in February.
**AEW — nothing earth-shattering at the moment, (hehe) still rumours flying that MJF has left but people are forgetting that he has a bag load of injuries, needing time to just go away and heal. Decide on surgery for his shoulder injury. I am not sure if the hip is needing surgery or not. Adam Copeland is on the warpath for Christian Cage. Waiting to see who will be the first opponent for Samoa Joe.
*RAW — This is my opinion on this week’s show. It felt kind of flat. The match between Kofi Kingston and Ludwig Kaiser was ok but it turned nasty, to say the least. Ludwig was so angry because Giovanni Vinci was knocked out of last week’s tag match by Kofi. The Ref stopped the match giving Kofi/Jey Uso the win. Ludwig lost the plot making sure to take out Kofi putting him on the shelf for a few weeks as payback. Gunther will return next week, (time off because of his new baby) it will be interesting to see what happens. Is this the beginning of the end for Imperium?
Cody faced Shinsuke in a Street Fight match. Thank Goodness Cody won. I’m not sure I would schedule that kind of match, this close to Survivor Series. Phil (hubby) made the comment that Cody needed to be careful with the mist but it was the poor timekeeper who was just doing his job that got nailed.
*NXT — Another kind of flat show, the Cody Rodes Tag Team classic opened up with matches. Lyra Valkyria announced that there will be a battle royal next week with a twist. The final 4 in the Royal, will turn into a fatal 4-way to decide who meets Lyra at Vengeance Day.
*Smackdown — Greyson Waller facing Cameron Grimes is opening the show from Lincoln Nebraska. The Bloodline has shown up, and Nick Aldis is out at ringside. Paul is screaming that Nick is the bad guy in all of this. Nick put The Bloodline in a match with A.J. Styles, L. A. Knight and Randy Orton. Roman is not there so if Jimmy and Solo can’t find a 3rd partner it will be a 3 on 2 handicapped match. (who would want to team with them anyway)
Bianca Belair is in a match with Bayley but she is not alone. This won’t be a fair match. (IMO — Bayley has fallen down the card, she is becoming more of a middle-card performer. Bayley used to have that grit ao but her but since Damage Control she has lost that.)
Randy was on his way to the ring for the main event, getting jumped by Solo/Jimmy. hoping to make it a tag match not a 3 on 2 handicapped match. Just when Solo/Jimmy thought they had it in the bag, Randy shows up. I am in awe of Randy’s snap powerbomb. Jimmy thought he had Randy but a surprise RKO took him out. For a few minutes Randy/A.J/L. They actually worked together leaving Bloodline in a pile on a broken announcer’s desk.
