Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch vs. Wild Boar & Primate

The Hunt did a tremendous job keeping Burch away from Lorcan. Wild Boar looked very vicious as they unleashed punishment to the back of Burch. Lorcan is always exciting to watch as he brings his explosive offense. The animals were given a great amount of time to showcase their destructive annihilation, but Burch and Lorcan executed a double-team DDT for the victory.

Eddie Dennis makes his return after his sneaky victory over Moustache Mountain’s Trent Seven. Before Dennis could continue gloating, Seven came down to refresh our memory of the exposed turnbuckle that gave him the loss. He then challenged his rival to a steel turnbuckle street fight!

Aoife Valkyrie is coming in two weeks and she looks like a badass cross between Xena Warrior Princess and Paige.

Nina Samuels vs. Isla Dawn

Dawn and Samuels are no strangers to each other, as both superstars have had several great encounters in the past. Samuels plays the perfect egocentric glamour model that thinks she’s better than anyone. Dawn brought the fight to her rival with her high-octane offense.

Samuels punished her in the corner with nasty-looking knees to the neck. Dawn waited for her opening, as her opponent landed knee first into the turnbuckle and allowed her to hit a Half & Half Suplex with a bridge pin for the victory.

Ridge Holland vs. Tyson T-Bone

This was as good ole Jim Ross would say, a slobber-knocker. Holland and T-Bone had a full-on slugfest with both men battling for dominance. I can see Holland challenging Walter for the United Kingdom Championship by the end of the year or sooner. He’s that good! Northern Grit earned him another hard-fought victory.

Two HUGE matches are made official for next week: A-Kid will go one-on-one with Tyler Bate and Trent Seven will get his rematch against Eddie Dennis in a colossal Steel Corners Street Fight!

Main Event: Flash Morgan Webster & Mark Andrews & Dave Mastiff vs. Imperium Six-man Tag Team Match

The beginning of the match was all Imperium as Barthel, Aichner, and Wolfe kept the babyfaces grounded away from The Bomber. Mastiff came in and cleaned house which allowed Webster and Andrews to deliver some spectacular dropkicks, splashes, and a jaw-dropping headscissor takedown.

Webster is a freaking highlight reel and was on fire until Wolfe got the tag. He delivered one of the most brutal German suplexes I’ve ever seen. Imperium regained control of the situation and completely obliterated their opponents. Mastiff is a wrecking ball of destruction as he delivered a thunderous cannonball to Imperium. Walter appeared and allowed a well-timed distraction and got blasted by Mastiff.

Back in the ring, Barthel launched Andrews into the arms of Aichner for a nasty-looking brainbuster for the decisive victory. As the show closed, Mastiff and Walter shared an intense stare down. I am all for The Bomber becoming the new number-one contender for the UK Title. He and Walter would have a Clash of Titans type match!

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.
