The Miz facing Bobby Lashley for the Men’s Title.

Drew Cutting a promo in the ring, here comes the Miz. Trying to get in the middle of the Title hunt.

Drew/Sheamus going hell for leather in the ring. I have no clue how this one is going to end. It has been good to see them be let loose to go after each other. I have no clue, how Drew pulled off but he managed to get the Claymore kick on target before Sheamus knew what hit him.

Naomi in a battle with the bully Nia. We all know that Naomi was not going to win this one.

I entered the Thunder-dome at this match,

Bobby Lashley out for his match with The Miz. Miz had the craps and couldn’t compete. Miz did anything possible to keep the belt, staying within the realms.

Strowman in the ring, complaining that Shane has it in for him, Shane wanting Braun to reach his personnel goals Shane puts Adan in a tag match with Braun, The boys paired up in a tag match against Cedric/Benjamin, with the help of a 2 on one the belts DID NOT change hands

Damian/Bad Bunny having to endure a chat from Elias.

Elias in the ring with Damian, it looked like Elias might get the win but Damian was too strong, getting the pin for the victory over Elias

Kayla Braxton have a chat with Randy Orton/ how Alexa Bliss has had an overpowering effect on him.

Miz grabbed the belt, taking a count out staying champion.

Charlotte out, cutting a promo for Wrestlemania when Asuka returns, she wants to challenger her at Wrestlemania for the RAW women’s title. Having a match with Shayna but Nia is in Shayna corner. Shayna/Nia jump Charlotte before the bell. Charlotte with the win.

With 20 minutes left Shane said that if Miz did not show up, he would be stripped of the title.

Lucha House Party/Matt riddle facing Retribution. It was messy but Lucha House Party/Riddle with the win.

Mustafa goes after Matt Riddle for a one on one match. It’s been a good match between Matt/Mustafa but thanks to Retribution, Mustafa gets the win.

Bobby Lashley in the ring again with M.V.P. MIz finally shows up but it was Shane with the finally bomb as it’s a Lumber Jack match.

Belt Changes hands to Bobby Lashley

Here is a question — Fastlane on the 21 of Match, Does Drew get a rematch for the title against Bobby, Can Drew beat Bobby? Only time will tell.

Smackdown Fallout from Elimination Chamber

Expect anything tonight after the events of the Chamber this week. Rumor is that Bianca will make her choice tonight.

This won’t be pretty. here comes Roman, even after Edge with that massive spear. Recapping Daniel’s match with Roman, no way was it a fair fight after all that Daniel had been through. It was brilliant when Edge hit him with the spear. (universe letting Roman know how they feel about him). Roman says he needs to save Smackdown, (he is the only one who can do it, according to Roman he operates at a higher level) Roman telling edge to get lost. He doesn’t want to hurt him. Edge has no chance against Roman. Here comes Daniel, do not step in the ring. OMG, there is no excuse for Jey Uso attacking Daniel Bryan. All roman is doing is laughing as he walks away. (I HATE THIS STORYLINE)

Street Profits facing off against King Corbin/Samy Zayne

Otis/Chad Gable in a tag match with Rey/Dom Mystero

Daniel Bryan must beat Jey Uso tonight to earn a title match at Fastlane.

Apollo Crews in a match (Big E is at home recovering from a back injury at the hands of Apollo) The Universe is letting Apollo know they are not happy. (sounds like Apollo is turning heal)(Apollo is of Nigerian decent). Shinsuke on the way to the ring. Apollo jumped Shin before the bell even rang.

Liv (Ruby in her corner) in the ring against Tamina.(Natalya in Tamina’s corner) Liv gave it a hell of a go but it was not her day today.

Bianca Belair on her way to the ring to give Adam/ Sonya her decision. Bianca was about to give her choice then Reginald stopped her. Sasha in the ring. It’s Bianca Belair meeting Sasha Banks for the Women’s Smackdown title at Wrestlemania.

Seth in the ring, trying to tell Cesaro if he would of just listened to him, he would be the champion right now. Seth told Cesaro to take some time and have a think about it. Cesaro decided it was time for Seth to have a swing. (I guess Cesaro answer is no)

Daniel on his way to the ring for his match with Jey Uso. Daniel gong to work on Jey’s right arm. Daniel’s knee is a target once again, it takes away Daniel’s strength. The Universe getting behind Daniel who refuses to give up. It was a double count out, Now Roman in the ring trying to take out Daniel once and for all. Universe screaming “U SUCK”

The show ended with Roman standing over Daniel screaming at him. You will never beat me

Fallout from Elimination Chamber

Fastlane is March 21, the final Pay Per View before Wrestlemania.

April 10 and 11 will be Wrestlemania over 2 days.

The show opens with the Miz bragging about winning the WWE Champion, promising Lashley the first shot at the title. Demanding the so-called respect that Miz says he deserves. Because of what Bobby did for The Miz last night, Lashley is first in line for a title match. Miz says, yes but I don’t know when you will get it. Miz has one hour.

Matt Riddle chatting with the Lucha House Party

Matt in a rematch of sorts with John Morrison. It was a challenge, Matt was aggressive, coming away a winner

Rhea Ripley is coming to RAW.

Kofi/Xavier on the way to the ring for a tag team match. Facing 2 members of Retribution. I have no clue how The New Day just beat Retribution once again. Mustafa throwing a temper tantrum.

Adam Pearce in the ring waiting on Bobby Lashley/M.V.P and what will The Miz decision be. As Miz is trying to get out of things here comes Braun Strowman. Shane O’Mac is out to help Adam out. Braun has to beat Bobby tonight for the right to be in a triple threat next week for the RAW Men’s Title.

Lucha House Party facing Cedric/Shelton — There are no tags.

Damian Priest facing Angel Garza — Damian is too strong for Angel. Garza made the mistake of turning his back on Priest. Lights out with Damian getting the win.

Randy Orton trying to cut a promo, Alexa Bliss causing him issues.

Charlotte/Asuka facing Nia/Shayna in Tag Team Action. Inadvertent contact by Charlotte gives Shayna/Nia the win. Charlotte post-match, talking to Ric. Charlotte told Ric to “Go Home”

Jeff Hardy on his way to the ring, facing Sheamus. Sheamus will be in a really bad mood after losing in the Elimination Chamber. Sheamus too strong for Jeff.

Lana/Naomi in the ring against Mandy Rose/Dana. Naomi/Lana with the win. It was a little messy but they got the job done.

A. Jon his way tot he ring, facing off against Ricochet. I really want to see Ricochet get a good run/have some success. A.J was too strong today for Ricochet.

Bobby Lashley was able to take Braun out early, in short form getting the win, keep it just him going after The Miz and the WWE Title.

NXT — February 24/25

Waiting to see if Karon Kross gets his match with Santos Escobar? It’s suppose to be a NO DQ match.

Dexter Lumis opening the show, against Johnny Gargano. This should be good. (Non-Title)Johnny has Dexter rattled a little but I hope it won’t last too long. Austin had the perfect opportunity to take out Dexter but a sidestep by Dexter had Johnny running into the chair, which helped take out Johnny for the win It was nice to see Johnny’s tricks go wrong for a change.

After a short Doco on MSK, they were about to chat about their tag team title match, they were attacked by Grizzled Young Veterans.

Tyler Rust ( with his advisor Malcolm Bivens) on the way to the ring, Facing Leon Ruff. Out of nowhere, Swerve Scott is making sure Leon is out of the way.

Io Shirai facing Zoey Stark in a Non-Title match. Stark is giving it everything she has. Stark wants this win, Io is going to make her earn it. Io had her hands full but she did get the win. Io showing respect to Zoey. Toni Storm out to ruin things. In 2 weeks, Toni meets Io for the Belt.

Kyle O’Riley has a herniated disk and will not return for 4 to 5 weeks. This is from the injury at the hands of Adam Cole, who will explain next week.

This is not going to end well, Kacy Catanzaro is facing Xai Li. Ref has stopped the match due to the injury at Xai hands. (how many more are going to be injured at the hands of Xai before Mr. Regal steps in)

Nia Jax/Shayna facing Dakota Kai/Raquel next week for the Women’s Tag Titles

Drake/Killian in a match with Grizzled Young Veterans (where is M.S.K who are from Dayton, Ohio) Veterans with the win. (I expected as much)

Match between Karrion and Santos started in the parking lot. (They need to bring it inside for the pin to count)That was a hell of a match with Karrion getting the win after taking a hell of a beating. For most of the match it was a 3 on 1.

Adam Cole on his way to the ring. Adam was ticked off because Kyle kept getting chances but he kept failing. Adam says that he was wrong for what he did to him. Roderick Strong out confronting Adam about Kyle. Finn out attacking Adam/Roderick for what they did to him. Roderick flattened Adam. Adam just hit Roderick with a low blow. Adam just told Roderick that he is dead to him

Elimination Chamber 2021

Fatal Four Way between Ali/Ricochet/Elias/Morrison to decide who joins Riddle/Bobby Lashley in the United States title match. Keith Lee was injured by Lashley/not cleared to compete tonight. (Retribution at ringside) Once again, Retribution not paying attention, Ali was pinned by Morrison.

The final Pay Per View before Wrestlemania will be Fastlane on March 21

Wrestlemania will be 2 nights again this year on April 10th and 11th.

I gained entry into the Thunderdome for tonight’s P.P.V. I am not sure if I have entry for the complete show or part of it. Will let you know.

Smackdown Elimination Match — Kevin Owens (1st match of his career), Samy Zayne, King Corbin,(2nd time in his career), Jey Uso. Cesaro( 3rd match of his career/Daniel Bryan(5th match of his career, won 2) will start the match. Time up, coming in is King Corbin. Daniel kicked out again but Corbin’s frustrations getting the better of his is his biggest mistake. Time up, coming in is, Samy Zayne. This should give Cesaro, Daniel a bit of a break. Cesaro forced King Corbin to tap out. Time up. coming in is Kevin Owens. Time up, Jey Uso in the ring. Kevin pinned Samy to eliminate him. Jey trying everything to take out Kevin. Kevin is out thanks to Jey. Jey takes out Cesaro. Daniel Bryan/Jey Uso is all that is left. Daniel got the knees up as Jey tried a frog splash from the top of the pod. I do not know how Daniel Bryan pulled out the win but Roman was just too strong and was not able to get the win, BUT it was the spear by Edge on Roman, leaving Roman flat on his back. gasping for air, as Edge made his choice, that he will meet Roman at Wrestlemania.

Im in the Chamber Pay Per View, Thunderdome

Matt Riddle/John Morrison/Bobby Lashley — This could of been short of one hell of a match. You need to be completely aware of our surroundings, you don’t even need to be pinned to lost your title. Morrison/Riddle did work together a little bit to do their best to get rid of Bobby. Bobby has become very dominate in his matches of late. Morrison/Matt going at it after getting Bobby off his feet. Trash Talk from MVP, Matt gets a hold of the crutch, getting rid of Bobby/pinning Morrison for the win

Women’s Tag Team Titles — Sasha Banks/Bianca Belair facing Shayna/Nia — it was a decent match but with the strength, Banks/Belair were just overwhelmed in the loss but you can also blame Reginald for getting involved.

RAW Men’s Elimination Chamber Match — Drew entered first, I have never seen him so focused as he was walking in. A.J out next with Omasa with him, (Omasa will come into play) Kofi came out next, Sheamus out next for the final pod spot, entering last. Which left Jeff Hardy/Randy Orton to start. Drew is the first man out of the pods to enter. (Drew told the camera guy to move)Here come’s Kofi Kingston. (Kofi held his own. considering the strength of Randy/Drew I am surprised he help his own) Kofi eliminated Randy. Omasa ripped open A.J pod to let him out sooner. (Adam Pearce tossed Omasa from ringside, the damage is already done) Sheamus was turned loose going straight for Drew. (At this point, Kofi/A.J/Drew/Sheamus/Jeff)Kofi on the wrong end of a Bro Kick and Kofi is out. Drew takes out Jeff with a claymore, leaving Drew, A.J and Sheamus. We all know that when Sheamus lets his frustrations out, he will usually make a mistake. With a forearm, A.J takes out Sheamus, Drew gathers himself enough to take out A.J with a Claymore to win the Chamber.

An earlier shot in the night, saw The Miz, talking to M.V.P. Drew had barely gotten out of the chamber when Lashley attacked him, The Miz cashed in the Money in the Bank case and took the title from Drew.

I can’t see The Miz being the title holder at Wrestlemania but who knows. Miz has on Irate Scotsman on his trail.

I made it in the Thunderdome

It took a bit of trying but I made it finally.

I had to convert time to match when I entered the Dome. I got to enter at 1 pm Australian time, the last hour and a half of the show, what you are watching on the computer is live, with a slight delay to your television.

I miss getting into Smackdown as the email arrives when I am in bed. I happened to be awake overnight, checked the email and found the invite to Elimination Chamber. Applied and got in. (its a first come, first serve once the spots are all claimed that’s it)

WWE sends you an email with what they are asking from you to help you have a good time. You can cheer, boo make all sorts of noise, they do have someone who helps with audio cues, when people are coming out, helping you to keep the energy level up. (during RAW we were able to get a drink, walk around, they told us how long we had before returning) This Sunday/Monday will be interesting with no commercials.

I will let you know how it went with my thought’s on the nights events

Fallout from Takeover

I still don’t know what to make of Adam Cole, cheap shot on Kyle/Finn. Big question is this the end of Undisputed Era?

Kyle O’Riley in the ring, trying to make sense of things. Kyle asking Adam to come out, explain what happened. No Adam but Roderick Strong, out trying to explain things. Well, this is interesting here comes Finn. Once again its Dunne, Lorcan/Birch with a sneak attack on all three. (I still have no clue what is going on)Mr. Regal has made a 6 man tag team match (Dunne/Lorcan/Birch facing Finn/Kyle/Roderick)

Karon Kross against Santos Escobar next week, if Santo is a “No Show” Santos will be suspended/stripped of his title.

Candace/Indy facing Ember Moon/Shotzi Blackheart in Tag Action. Thanks to a distraction Ember/Shotzi got the win. It was a good match but you knew funny business would take place eventfully.

Swerve Scott (turned villain) facing Leon Ruff. I can’t see Leon pulling this one out. OMG, I did not see that coming, Leon with a pin out of nowhere to steal the win. Scott has lost the plot, taking it out on Leon.

Kacy/Kandace in tag team action facing Alyiha/Jesse — It was a little messy but Kacy/Kandace with the win.

Tyler Rust facing Kushida (how is he post NXT: Takeover)Kushida wins by submission.

New comer Zoey Stark in first time action.

Main Event — Lorcan/Stark/Dunne facing Finn/Kylie/Roderick in a 6 man tag team. Adam Cole out to destroy Kyle at all cost, Thanks to help from Roderick, Pete pinned Finn. This is not over by any cost.

Adam Cole has destroyed Undisputed Era, going after Finn, Adam wants the NXT title back

RAW, going home for Elimination Chamber

Elimination Chamber is Sunday, anything can happen tonight, it usually does.

(I got a chance to enter the thunder dome, will let you know what happens, you have to register. It was fun, you got to see things live, you had a little break where you could get a drink or use the toilet, someone would let you know how long you had before you needed to be back in your seat. I would certainly try for it again. )

Galant match to see who enters last in the Chamber.

The Miz in the ring, waiting on Drew to arrive. Drew told MIz to shut up, he didn’t listen. Miz just told that he is removing himself from the Elimination Chamber match. Miz has the M.I.T.B briefcase.

6 man tag match — M.V.P/Cedric/Shelton facing Riddle/Lucha House Party. (Keith Lee injured by Bobby Lashley, him appearing on Sunday is in doubt) Matt pins M.V.P for the win. (of course Bobby Lashley out again for NO REASON)

Miz talking to Adam Pearce. Miz wants Miz to have his spot but, MIz has to face Kofi if Miz wins then Morrison is in, Kofi wins and he goes in. Kofi is going into the chamber

Charlotte/Asuka facing Lacey Evans/Payton Royce — The story twist is that lacey is expecting. OK, well, this is interesting.

Lana faced off against Shayna, I have to give Lana credit for giving it a real go but Shayna was just too strong for her.

The start of the Galant match would put A.J against Kofi. (Remember Kofi had already competed early against the Miz for a spot in the Chamber.

A.J defeated Kofi, with Drew making his way to the ring, it would become quite the battle with A.J trying everything possible but it was Drew who eliminated A.J.

Drew battered/beaten faced Jeff Hardy which turned out to be a bit of a challenge. Jeff tried everything but it wasn’t enough to secure the win.

Here comes the one person I worried about the most, Randy Orton, which it was all out war until Alexa Bliss made sure that Randy was counted out, eliminating him

Sheamus from a sneak attack, getting to Drew before the bell had even rung. by this time Drew had been in the close to or over 30 minutes. Drew gave it all he could but it wasn’t enough to give Sheamus the win/with the right to enter the chamber last. (giving Sheamus the best odds of winning the belt. )

NXT Take Over: Vengeance

This is going to be a hell of a show, provided matches ae allowed to run their course.

Vic, Wade and Beth at the announcers desk

1st match is the Women’s tag Team Dusty Cup Finals. First time in the NXT history that the Women have had their go. The winners will get a title shot at the current Women’s Tag Team titles (Shayna/Nia). Dakota Kai/Raquel Gonzalez facing Ember Moon/Shotzi Blackheart. (they need to get Raquel out of the picture as soon as possible to have any chance)Needless to say its not an even match with Raquel size and strength. They are letting this match go, the girls are leaving everything in the ring, the NXT Universe is enjoying everything. figured as much that Kai/Gonzalez would win, its hard to beat that strength. Mind you it was an amazing match. I must admit, I would love to see Shayna in a match with Raquel.

Kushida on his way to the ring to have Johnny Gargano for the North American title. I expect Johnny to try anything and everything to keep the belt. (Austin Theory was taken out by Dexter Lumis) So far no outer ring interference. (I will admit that Johnny is a good wrestler when he stops playing games, puts his mind in the game)It was a hell of a fight but Johnny has kept the belt, it was not easy by any means. I’m not happy Johnny kept the belt but I have to give some respect, he did it on his own with no outside help.

M.S.K facing Grizzled Young Veterans for the Dusty Cup winners. Don’t blink or you might miss something. G.Y.V have done their homework against M.S.K but the frustration factor has gotten the better of Grizzled in the past. OMG — This is the match of the night so far, both teams are having to create on the run to try anything and everything to get the win. Congrats to M.S.K who gave everything they had and more to get the well deserved win for the Dusty Cup in the Men’s division.

Triple Threat Women’s title match with Toni Storm, Io Shirai, Mercedes Martinez. This one will be interesting, it’s the strength of Mercedes that can be the issue in all of this but don’t count out Toni either. You need your head on a swivel in this match. Out of nowhere, Io comes flying in to break the count that Toni to pin Mercedes for the win. I would love to see Toni/Io in a one on one.

LA Knight has signed with NXT.

The final match between Pete Dune/Finn Balor will be an intense, all-out war. Finn holds the belt but Pete has made it clear that he will stop at nothing to take the belt from Finn. The Universe is so loud and proud cheering Finn on. Pete is doing anything and everything to destroy Finn at all cost. I can’t even begin to put into words this match, it has been cringing, technical match. I have no clue how in the world they are both still going after all the abuse they have dished out to each other. Finn wins the war. This was well worth the main event it was given.

Lorcan/Birch out to beat up on Finn even more after the win. This is wrong on so many levels but here comes Undisputed Era out to protect Finn. Kyle ad the boys looking after Finn, he wasn’t sure at first. UE is falling apart. Finn got kicked, Kyle got kicked by Adam, both left lying in the ring.

RAW for February 8/9

**Other News — Vale “The Natural” Butch Reed who has passed away. Congratulations to Sarah Logan/Erik on the birth of their son, Congrats also to Greg Hamilton on his engagement.

Keith Lee and Mia Yim have just announced their engagement.

Adam Pearce introduced Shane O’Mac with a major announcement. At Elimination Chamber Drew will defend the Men’s Belt against, Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy, A.J Styles, The Miz, Sheamus.

A.J crosses paths with Shane on the way to the ring. Facing Jeff Hardy.

The New Day on the way to the ring, facing T-Bar/Slap Jack from Retribution. The New Day once again, take it to Retribution, ticking off Mustafa.

Lacey Evans won by disqualification after Charlotte gave her one butt kicking she deserved. Lacey will face Asuka at Elimination Chamber.

Edge gave an update on what his decision might be, with Elimination Chamber, he has reserved his right until after the Chamber Event to make his decision. The MIz with John Morrison/Angel Garza in tow, out to try and get in Edge’s head.

Damian Priest/Bad Bunny — Damian facing The Miz. Thanks to help from Bad Bunny, Miz/Morrison are tossed which helped Damian get the win.

Matt Riddle facing Keith Lee. (M.V.P is at ringside) Matt gives Keith all he can handle but it was Keith in the end getting the win. I still have no clue what has gotten into Bobby of late, there was no reason for Bobby to stick his nose into what happened between Matt and Keith. Triple threat at Elimination with Bobby defending against Matt/Keith

Nia in action against Lana in a tables match. Lana doing her best to get the upper hand. (this storyline of a bully needs to end) Lana pushing Nia enough to get her though the table. Naomi/Shayna in an impromptu match. When it’s more important to beat up on Lana, then not pay attention to Naomi in the ring, Naomi with the roll up beating Shayna for the win.

Randy facing Orton in the ring but here comes Sheamus. Randy is doing everything possible to make sure Drew is injured for Elimination a week from Sunday. Sheamus got in the middle, drew got out of the way, forcing Randy to take the Bro Kick, Sheamus laid out with a claymore.
