With TLC freshly in the rear view, the WWE Universe witnessed some incredible moments this week including The Man and The Queen putting their differences aside to take on The Kabuki Warriors, Rusev and Bobby Lashley will finally clashing in a tables match, Angel Garza captured the NXT Cruiserweight Championship, and last but certainly not least, the “real” Seth Rollins is back and has aligned himself with the dangerous AOP.

Let’s not waste any more time and get right down to it. Here are my top five moments from all of WWE programming this week.

5. Rusev Finally Gets His Match

After what felt like forever with ridiculous restraining orders preventing the two powerhouses to fight, The Bulgarian Brute and The Almighty will finally got their hands on one another at TLC.

The announcement was made after the divorce court segment from this week’s edition of Raw. I’ve been saying for weeks for these two rivals to put down the microphones and let them tear each other to shreds.

4. Ridge Holland Arrives In NXT UK

On this week’s edition of NXT UK, the former rugby football league star annihilated Jack Starz in impressive fashion. If you thought Keith Lee’s shoulder tackles were ferocious you haven’t seen Ridge Holland’s.

He came in and obliterated Starz within a matter of minutes. If booked correctly with some major victories over the next few months Holland could be the next challenger for the NXT UK Championship. I know I’m getting ahead of myself here but still, I can see big things for the big man in the future.

3. The Cruiserweight Championship In The Spotlight It Deserves

Man, I can’t even tell you how long I have been raving over the cruiserweight division since I started avidly watching it this past year. I’ve seen so many incredible matches that I would only dream of seeing on Raw or SmackDown. On this week’s edition of NXT, in a MOTY category, both Rush and Garza put on a five-star classic with dramatic sequences and near-falls that blew me away.

These two incredibly-gifted superstars brought some much-needed prestige back to the purple belt and the NXT Universe made Garza’s victory feel even more special. He also proposed to his girlfriend so that was amazing too! Top-notch seriously, if you skipped this match please go back and watch it.

2. The Prinxe Is Number-One Contender

Finn Balor defeated Keith Lee and Tomasso Ciampa in a high-octane triple-threat-match to gain his first one-on-one NXT Championship match in nearly four years. Now, Balor will challenge Adam Cole next week in a HUGE “dream match” for the ages.

For weeks it appeared that The Undisputed Era and The Prince were on the same page until Balor shocked the system delivering a Pele Kick to Cole denouncing all of the speculations. There are a ton of rumors going around stating that UE could turn on Cole and align themselves with Balor.

One thing is for certain is that the NXT Universe is in store for an amazing match to close out the year.

1.Gallus vs. Imperium was EPIC

On this week’s edition of NXT UK, Gallus defended their NXT Tag Team Championships against Imperium in what was a hard-hitting affair until several other teams came out to cause a disqualification. Before all the chaos erupted, both teams were having a fantastic match with some devastating maneuvers and it appeared we were on the cusp of having new tag team champions.

While I know that the fatal-four-way ladder match at Blackpool will be tremendous, it’s still a damn shame that the NXT UK Universe never got the proper ending to this war. In my opinion, the question will always remain who is the better faction Gallus or Imperium?

King’s WrestleMania Rewind: Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka from WrestleMania 34

WWE WrestleMania 34 Charlotte Flair Asuka

Chris king is back with one of the most underrated matches in WrestleMania history–Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka!

We look back at Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka at WWE WrestleMania 34. ‘The Empress of Tomorrow’ put her unprecedented and historic undefeated streak of 914 days on the line against ‘The Queen’s’ SmackDown Women’s Championship.

For years, this was considered a dream match while Asuka dominated the roster in NXT, while Flair won numerous championships on the main roster on both Raw and SmackDown. The Empress made her long-awaited debut on the September 11th episode of Raw and began to tear through the competition.

Asuka outlasted all twenty-nine other women in the historic first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble match to challenge for the title of her choosing. At Fastlane, she made her choice.

The WWE Universe was so excited for this match myself included. Both superstars delivered a fantastic performance on the Grandest Stage of Them All executing counter after counter. Asuka showed off some nasty-looking kicks to her opponent, and Flair hit a thunderous Spanish Fly off the top rope. Flair was seconds away from defeat at the hands of The Empress but she locked in Figure Eight and Asuka was forced to tap out.

I can’t even begin to explain how shocked I was at this outcome, as nearly everyone expected The Empress to continue her undefeated streak and walk away with the women’s title. This controversial decision was the downfall of Asuka’s momentum. She would ultimately win the SmackDown Women’s Championship at the 2018 TLC pay-per-view in the triple-threat ladder match.

Fast forward to this year when Asuka has recently returned with her Japanese-inspired persona Kana. Kana is dangerous and ruthless and is heading into a championship with Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 39. The Empress has regained all her momentum and is highly favored to walk away with the Raw Women’s Championship. Let’s hope that Asuka and Belair can tear the house down and deliver an A+ grade match both women are fully capable of.

King: Dominik Mysterio Needs To Do This At WrestleMania

Chris King is here with what WWE should do with Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania in his long-awaited match against his father Rey Mysterio Jr.

Chris King is here with what WWE should do with Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania in his long-awaited match against his father Rey Mysterio Jr.

On this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Rey Mysterio finally snapped and beat some sense into his disrespectful punk-ass kid Dominik. The member of the Judgement Day came out to push his father again for a match on the Grandest Stage of Them All, this time with his mother and sister at ringside. The ungrateful punk told his mom to “Shut Up,” as a father even I wanted to jump through the screen and whoop his ass.

Back in October of last year, Mysterio made the emotional decision to possibly quit the company but, instead, Triple H persuaded the Lucha libre superstar to move over to SmackDown to avoid his son. This came after Dominik shockingly turned on his father at Clash at the Castle. Mysterio did everything he could to refuse his despicable son’s challenge for Mania but, a man can only be pushed so far. Mysterio will be inducted into the 2023 WWE Hall of Fame and I expect Dominik to embarrass his father during his speech to further this personal feud.

Yes, the WWE Universe hates Dominik and wants to see him get the ever-loving crap kicked out of him but, this feud is missing a special ingredient to capitalize on the biggest heat possible. Throughout this feud, Dominik has made mention of the legendary Eddie Guerrero on several occasions going back to the “iconic” 2005 feud.

I know WWE might not want to go this route but, Dominik MUST come out to Eddie Guerrero’s theme at Mania. The disrespectful punk needs to come out in a lowrider to garner nuclear heat. It doesn’t matter if The Judgement Day comes out and causes interference for Dominik to get the win, all that matters is that both superstars get the biggest payoff of this nearly year-long feud. Just imagine the Roman Reigns heat after he defeated The Undertaker and multiply that by ten. Dominik portrays the perfect heel and he truly is the missing ingredient that The Judgement Day needed to grow and evolve into a top faction.
