NXT Minus 6: Io Shirai Makes History
The women’s division is carrying Brad’s narrative this week. Tongue in cheek or not; see if you agree with the countdown!

The Dusty Cup might be over, but the women’s division is still making history.
6. It’s the Smackdown Six 2.0. We have the NXT Six (catchy). You can mix & match Oney Lorcan, Danny Burch, Pete Dunne, Roderick Strong, Kyle O’Reilly and Finn Balor however you like. The end product will be amazing. No part of my brain understands how someone could be a wrestling fan and not love watching these six do their thing in the ring.
5. Pissed off Swerve Scott is intense. Dude is crazy. Watching him grab poor Leon Ruff by the jaw was almost as ugly as watching him throw Ruff into the turnbuckle. Not gonna lie. It was a touch uncomfortable. But since I’m such a fan, Swerve gets a full ⅓ of my column this week. Cue fantasy booking music…
4. Instead of getting throttled by Doomsday Saito, Santa Claus Ice Cream Bar forfeits the Cruiserweight title. After an outstanding 8-man tournament, the new king of the stateside cruisers is…Swerve Scott. This leads to a best-of-seven series between Scott and Jordan Devlin to unify the cruiserweight titles. The seventh and deciding match co-main events NXT UK Takeover with WALTER versus CESARO for the NXT UK Title.
3. L.A. Knight? L.A Night? L.A. Nite? I don’t care how you spell it, that name siggity sucks biggity big time. He should be teaming with Max Moon to take on Tug Boat and Irwin R. Schyster. I guess he got stuck with L.A. Night because Dolph Ziggler was already taken. Can’t wait to hear what the L.A. stands for. Lawrence Arabia. Lance Archer. Legitimate Anus.
2. Congratulations to Io Shirai for being the one millionth wrestler in NXT history to get jumped backstage. After so many back stage jumpings, you’d think they would beef up security. It’s like NXT doesn’t even care about the wrestlers’ safety.
1. This week’s That’s Why I Love Wrestling goes to…MSK! Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez celebrating their Dusty Cup victory? Glorious. Shayna Baszler’s music playing one more time on NXT? Scintillating. MSK in the background, chomping on popcorn & loving the front row seats? Solid gold dipped in gold. I have a soft spot in my heart for anybody living the dream, and these two most certainly are.

King’s WrestleMania Rewind: Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka from WrestleMania 34
Chris king is back with one of the most underrated matches in WrestleMania history–Charlotte Flair vs. 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.
