We send our condolences to the family of Syco Sid at the news of his passing.
RAW and Smackdown are gonna be lit with Bash in Berlin just around the corner. I reckon the lineup is pretty much set, but there’s always a chance for more matches to be added during the shows this week.
Hey folks, RAW is on and guess who’s kicking things off? The revamped Judgement Day, of course. I’ve got it on mute, though, because I don’t want to hear the garbage they’re spewing. Dom and Liv think they’ve got this in the bag, but the Terror Twins are gonna have a lot to say about that. (Gotta love how Dom tries to talk and still gets booed.) Okay, this is a surprise—Rey Mysterio and the LWO are out there, and they’ve got Dragon Lee with them. (I saw someone wondering if Dom would ever hold a major title. Maybe, but who knows?)
Strap Match between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk – ouch, that sounds painful! In this match, they can use the strap as a weapon, but they also have to drag their opponent along as they hit all four corners of the ring to win. Talk about a workout!
**Smackdown — This show is coming from Berlin. L.A. Knight was in the ring offering an open challenge for the United States Title. Knight is frustrating the crap out of Kaiser which is great. It was a good match, I would love to see another match between them.
As much as I got tired of the Bloodline storyline, I actually have to admit that I am waiting for Roman to return. Creative is working on setting up for War Games. I really want to see Paul Heyman return. There was a rumour that Jacob would turn on Solo, actually working for Roman. (it would be delicious if it did)
The match between Cody and Kevin at Bash will be interesting. (Nick Aldis is moderating a face-to-face in the ring) First, I can’t see the title changing hands but I am wondering if there might be a Kevin heel turn. It’s been 7 years since Kevin has held a singles title. Kevin has kept saying that he doesn’t deserve this title shot but Cody, has a different view on things.
The matches between Andrade facing Carmelo Hayes have actually been good. Carmelo being the heel that he is will do anything to win, at all costs. I can see this feud going for a bit.
Not a fan of Nia Jax in any sense of the word. To me, she is nothing more than a bully. How long before someone gets seriously hurt.
Smackdown was slow but the storytelling was OK. Those holding belts were protected for the PLE tomorrow. I can’t see any belts changing hands but there are surprises along the way.
