Houston going to be hectic!

SAnitY and the Authors of Pain battled it out for the NXT Tag Team Championships, and just as Akam & Rezar looked to be new champoins, The Undisputed Era created even more chaos as they attacked. Roderick Strong appeared and appeared to on their side, only to escalate the madness! William Regal therefore felt the only way to settle this is to put these three teams inside two rings and one cage! Houston is now WarGames!

Heavy Machinery VS Chris Payne & Sean Maluta!

Tucker Knight & Otis Dozovic are back to use their “real men bodies” to bulldoze their opponents, Otis starts against Chris Payne. Otis lunges in, Payne dodges and shoves Otis from behind. Otis is upset, he runs Payne over. Maluta comes in, gets caught and spanked? Maluta gets mad, but just gets run over. Otis scoops, carries and slams Payne down. “Dozer” fires himself up, does the worm, and then a big elbow drop! Tag to Tucker, three point stance, double tackle on Maluta. These two human monster trucks mark and then build speed, Payne is caught in the middle of a Heavy Machinery sandwich! Heavy Machinery is fired up, Tucker pumps the horn to give a big corner splash. Payne is dazed, and down. Otis helps Tucker warm up that arm again, Tucker runs, springboard elbow drop!

Tucker tags Otis, Otis picks up Payne, and uses him to plow through Maluta! With everything in position, Tucker gets running, and they hit the Compacter!

Heavy Machinery wins! This two man demolition crew is still going strong, who else will be flattened on the path to the tag team titles?

Backstage interview with Ember Moon.

At TakeOver: WarGames, the Prophecy of Flame faces three other worthy contenders for the vacated NXT Women’s Championship. However, what is her response to Mercedes Martinez saying Ember can’t win the big one? If that’s how Mercedes feels, meet Ember in the ring next week, and we’ll all see why Ember is the biggest threat in the Women’s Division. Can Ember gain momentum to keep up with Kairi Sane, Nikki Cross and Peyton Royce?

Kairi Sane VS Billie Kay w/ Peyton Royce!

Speaking of the NXT Women’s Championship, The Pirate Princess and the Iconic Duo’s Venus Flytrap are also looking to gain momentum, but it’s the Iconic Duo’s Femme Fatale who is stepping up to the winner of the inaugural Mae Young Classic tournament. Who will be the one sunk this close to WarGames? The fans cheer for Kairi, which annoys the Iconic Duo. The bell rings, Billie wants to see if Kairi understands English. Kairi boys, then mocks Billie’s big eyelashes. Billie swings, Kairi ducks and runs, slips off of Billie’s back and gets a waistlock. Billie bucks her off, then shoulders her down. Billie runs, Kairi dodges, times it so that she can springboard up to headscissor and dropkick Billie, TWO. Peyton reaches for Billie, Kairi kicks Peyton’s arms away. Kairi swipes at Peyton but misses, Billie’s stiff forearm decks Kairi, TWO. Peyton is annoyed, Billie rains forearms, covers, TWO. Billie is annoyed now, but she keeps on Kairi with a cobra clutch and torture rack. Kairi endures the bend, pries her way out, fans rally but Kairi ends up dumped into buckles. Billie drags her out for a high stack, TWO. Billie is frustrated now, and eggs Kairi on by shoving her down. Billie says Kairi will never #BeIconic! Billie whips Kairi, Kairi dodges, SPEAR!

Kairi is fired up, she grabs Billie and gives her stiff chops and ax handles. Kairi stands Billie up for chop after chop after chop! Kairi marches corner to corner, runs back in, sliding forearm! Cover, TWO, Peyton distracts Kairi but Kairi kicks her off the apron. Small package trap from Billie, TWO. Back hand from Kairi, Billie goes down. Kairi points to her elbow, fans fire up again. She climbs up, takes aim and drops anchor for the InSane Elbow!

Kairi wins! She sets sail for Houston, can she win the NXT Women’s Championship with that same impact?

GM William Regal is visited by Kassius Ohno.

Ohno has been thinking about his ups and downs since return. But now that he’s finally on a roll, he wants back towards the NXT Championship. So what does he have in mind? At TakeOver, give him Lars Sullivan. If Ohno can be the first person to even dent that battleship, it’s big points towards the title. Regal makes the match, Ohno thanks him, but will Ohno come to regret it?

NXT takes a look at the infamous WarGames.

“The Ultimate Battleground.” Legends and veterans all admit “WarGames are the toughest match you could ever go through.” It takes a piece of you with it. It just keeps going until all nine men fight. “You fans out there wanna see somebody get their ass kicked!” Dusty Rhodes’ creation coming back is like bringing the American Dream back. He’d be so proud to see this. The nine men going in must prepare physically and mentally, and those that survive will have a story to tell. Something memorable happens inside that cage. “Seek and destroy, lock and load, war has been declared!” WarGames is a history making match, with unlimited surprise, danger and risk. You don’t win, you survive. “Blood, guts and glory!” “Let the WarGames Begin!”

Exclusive interview with Andrade “Cien” Almas and Zelina Vega.

At TakeOver: WarGames, El Idolo is set to take on Drew McIntyre for the NXT Championship, what is the strategy going in? Zelina has already said this: she wouldn’t be successful if she gave it all away. The only man that knows it all is Almas. McIntyre wants to say Almas isn’t a man because he has Zelina? THey did what he asked: they met him face to face, McIntyre just wasn’t ready. Then, fans wonder, what exactly is their relationship? They do not have to answer that. They have a past, 7 long years, Zelina knows the real El Idolo. Fans saw the “old” Almas, but this is the “new” Almas. Almas is head and shoulders above the others, and that’ll include McIntyre. Almas has the momentum, and will be the next NXT Champion. Ten days from now, the match will happen, but will it go the way Almas & Vega think?

Velveteen Dream VS Cezar Bononi!

The Patrick Clark Experience has been obsessed with getting the Embodiment of the End to #SayMyName but it only got Aleister Black obsessed with putting Velveteen in his place. Can Velveteen use the Brazilian V8 to gain momentum towards TakeOver? The bell rings, they tie up, Velveteen gets a big takedown and then slaps Bononi’s back. Stiff European Uppercuts and a corfner to corner whip, but Bononi replies with a stiff back elbow. Bononi clubs and clobbers Velveteen, but the scoop slam is denied by Velveteen holding ropes. Bononi lets Velveteen go, only to get clobbered but a clothesline! Velveteen shows his aggression as he rains down rights. Bononi gets away and to a corner but Velveteen stomps a mudhole. The referee backs him off, Velveteen shouts in her face.

Bononi fights out of the corner but gets a spinebuster slam! Fireman’s carry, rolling Death Valley, Velveteen wins. Velveteen shows little respect to Bononi, he just wants his hand raised.

Velveteen wishes to speak. “Aleister Black. Gotcha. Aleister, I gave you what you needed. And now the Velveteen Dream is on your mind. In Houston, at NXT TakeOver: WarGames, when all that is dark comes to light, the Velveteen Dream gets what he wants when your lips say my name.” Velveteen takes his leave, will he get what he want? Or will he #FadetoBlack?

Ruby Riot competed for a chance at the NXT Women’s Championship, but lost.

Not only that, but the damage to her ankle at the hands of Sonya Deville is keeping her from doing much of anything right now. Performance Center Paparazzi caught up with Ruby in the trainer’s room to learn that her injury needs a couple weeks of rest. Sonya came in to rub that in her face. Maybe if Ruby just tapped out. Her point? That Ruby took the coward’s way out of trying to run away. Now neither of them is any closer to the title. Well, while Ruby hears it’s everyone else’s fault but Sonya’s that she lost, maybe they can have a match 1v1. Once Ruby is healthy, they can prove who is the more deserving. Fine by Sonya. This time, she might just break that ankle. Time will tell if Ruby’s leg is ready for that match, but her mind already is.

The Street Profits are having fun in Full Sail.

They’re here to bring #Swagification in the form of black Solo cups and bling. They find someone, compliment his wardrobe, but realize he’s missing something. So they give him a cup! There you go! Another guy walks in, he’s delivering a suit for Tino Sabbatelli.

Lucky him, Montez Ford is Tino Sabbetelli. What? He’s Italian? Of course! Well alright. What do we have here? Oooo~! The REAL Tino comes in, along with Riddick Moss, and get that suit away from the Street Profits. That is a $5000 suit, special delivery. Angelo Dawkins and Ford can’t afford their stuff. Stop touching their stuff. Stop trying to be them. Please, nobody wants to be those two. But since you’ve got some bass in your voices, let’s see how things measure up in the ring. If you’re really about that life, that is. Tino and Moss smirk, but challenge accepted. Moss says they’re gonna come to regret it, but can they put their money where their mouths are?

Roderick Strong VS Adam Cole!

“Adam Cole, BAYBAY!”

Despite the constant attempts at recruiting him, Roddy chose not to join up with his fellow former ROH compatriots, and instead chose to stand in their way. Strong has his pride, but will he have a win against the ringleader of the Undisputed Era? The bell rings, fans already rally as the two stare down. They near each other, tie up, and go all around before breaking. The fans duel, Strong says Cole doesn’t have it. They circle, Strong with a takedown and floatover into a modified armlock, then chinlock, Cole slips out to a hammerlock but is snapmare’d into a chinlock. Cole slips out to get another hammerlock, Strong slips around to a headlock takeover, Cole keeps off the mat. Cole pries his way out with a headscissors, Strong slips out, Cole shoves but Strnog chops! Now they brawl, Cole giving forearms, whip reversed, but Cole pushes Strong back with boots. Cole catches Strong with a back elbow, more forearms, whip reversed again, dropkick from Strong! Cole ends up outside, Strong pursues with an apron knee strike. Strong gets Cole up for another chop before putting him in the ring. Cole uses the referee as a shield, then gets Strong with a SUPERKICK!

Strong tumbles out and to the floor, Cole catches his breath in the ring as we go to break.

We return, Cole stomps away on Strong in the ring. Strong fights back, but Cole kicks him to a corner. Cole whips corner to corner, Strong bounces off buckles. Cole takes his time with Strong, dropping a double ax handle, cover, TWO. Cole puts Strong in a chinlock, Strong works to get out as fans rally for him. Strong is up, fights back and out, haymaker but he runs into Cole’s back elbow. Cover, TWO, Cole is getting annoyed. He puts Strong in a headscissor vice, but fans rally again. Strong pushes back, TWO, they’re up but Cole puts Strong in a sleeper hold. Cole wants Strong to go to sleep, but fans keep rallying for Strong in this even as Cole puts all his weight on him. Strong fades, fans rally, Strong gets a second wind and powers Cole into buckles. Cole lets go but comes back for more, Strong swings him into a backbreaker!

Cole is writhing while Strong is gasping, fans are rallying and both men work to their feet. Cole and Strong brawl, forearm for forearm, Strong gives chops and buckle bumps. Strong whips corner to corner but is reversed, goes up and over, clobbers with a leaping lariat. Strong gives forearms to Cole in a corner, runs adjacent for the forearm smash! Strong goes for the Olympic Slam but Cole slips out of it, so Strong tries and hits a pump-handle backbreaker!

Not the cleanest hit, Strong covers, TWO! Strong is getting annoyed, frustrated even. He drags Cole up, fireman’s carry, but Cole slips down. Waistlock, standing switch, enziguri from Cole! Cover, TWO, now Cole is the one frustrated. Cole gets up, brings Strong up, wants a suplex but Strong slips out. Strong boots then enziguri, blocks Cole’s bicycle boot, Cole uses a knee to get out of the cradling backbreaker, SUPERKICK!

Strong is dazed, Cole lifts him up, Last Shot!

Cover, TWO! Cole is shocked by Strong’s resiliency. Strong is stirring as Cole gets to his feet and fans duel. Cole drags Strong up, Strong revives to give forearms, then the jumping knee! Strong hoists Cole onto the top rope backwards, Cole resists and adjusts but now Strong fights back. Strong has Cole up, SUPER BACKBREAKER!

Both men down, the fans are loving this! Strong crawls to a cover, but that’s when Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish appear to drag Strong out. The match is disqualified, reDRagon checks on Cole, but Strong has reinforcements in the form of the Authors of Pain!

Akam & Rezar are Strong’s teammates for WarGames, and they all target The Undisputed Era in the ring. Not just them, here comes SAnitY!

The nine men that will wage war in Houston are in the ring right now, stare downs abound. It explodes into a chaotic brawl!

Cole stomps Strong, Damo and Rezar move outside the ring, reDragon throws Akam out but have Eric Young and Alexander Wolfe to deal with. Eric dumps out reDRagon only to be dragged out by them, Wolfe revs up to FLY!

Cole and Strong are still in the ring, Cole hits Strnog with a knee strike. SAnitY, the Authors and reDRagon all brawl in a mass, Cole climbs up but Strong follows. Strong goes after Cole, and with the cluster in range, Strong SUPERPLEXES Cole!!

Nine men go down in a heap! This is just a sampler, wait until the match in Houston!

My Thoughts:

Excellent work to hype up TakeOver right here. Great return for Heavy Machinery, they’re keeping afloat while the tag titles are put on hold, their time will likely come on the road to the Royal Rumble and TakeOver: Philadelphia. Same goes for The Street Profits and Blue Chip Boys. They’re having their tag team match next week to see if monetary fortune favors Heels or Faces. I guessed right that “Mean Ms. Martinez” is going to be Ember Moon’s go-home opponent, and I’m sure Ember will win because she really does need to stay even with her three opponents. Nikki Cross has been on a roll since basically going Face alongside the rest of SAnitY, and has the fact she came so close to defeating Asuka a couple times to go in her favor. Kairi is red hot from winning the MYC, even without adding in defeating Billie Kay. Peyton Royce is so strong as a Heel, and always has Billie to be her back-up in that Fatal 4 Way. Ember is the underdog in all this, as Mercedes pointed out before, she would definitely surprise by finally pulling off that big win. And good of NXT to keep a secondary women’s feud going with Sonya Deville and Ruby Riot aimed at each other.

Almas and Vega are making a solid Heel duo, like Miz & Maryse but not actually together in real life (Vega is with Austin Aries). The go-home will have one last, true face-to-face between Almas and McIntyre, I smell a brawl coming. Cezar Bononi is already Jobber to the Stars as he loses to Velveteen Dream, Patrick Clark delivers a solid promo aimed at Aleister Black, the go-home gives Aleister a chance to respond, but I feel Aleister is still winning their match. And then Cole VS Strong was incredible, worthy of a TakeOver on its own. And it was perfectly fine that reDRagon “ruins” the match, neither Strong or Cole look weak in the grand scheme of things, and it naturally sparks the chaos that closed things out in amazing fashion. The WarGames package they gave tonight was great to give perspective to those — like myself — who never got to watch this match type before. I’m sure all nine of these guys will give a performance worthy of this match, those who competed in it before, and Dusty Rhodes who invented it, and either of these three teams could win and it’d do massive things for them in their NXT standings.

My Score: 8.5/10

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Bron Breakker VS Sheamus!

The title matches don’t stop, because we go one more round between these two badasses! Will the dogs be barking with the Big Bad Booty Nephew? Or will The Celtic Warrior finally complete his WWE Bingo?

SNME returns and Jesse Ventura joins commentary for this make-or-break moment for Sheamus. Bron makes his entrance and the fans bark already. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and one way or another, we’re getting a banger!

The bell rings, the two circle, and the two tie up. Sheamus powers Bron back but then they go along the ropes. Sheamus has a headlock as they end up in a corner, and the ref counts.

Shawn Michaels is here!

San Antonio fires up for their Heartbreak Kid, the WWE Hall of Famer, and the man who put ladder matches on the map! HBK will moderate the contract signing for the WWE Championship ladder match, after the break!

SNME returns and HBK has the mic. “I am sweating through my suit, because for the last three minutes, I’ve been dancing around because I am so happy to be back home in San Antonio!” The fans cheer that! HBK says he “has been given one job here tonight, and that is to walk out of this ring with the signatures of Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes.” Nick Aldis couldn’t get it done, so he sent in the closer! Rest assured, it is happening tonight. So as they say, without further ado, he will introduce the challenger for the Undisputed WWE Championship, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Kevin Owens! The fans boo but The Prizefighter still goes to the ring.

Kevin wears a new shirt, “Cody Sucks Eggs,” and he has the Winged Eagle on his shoulder. HBK now welcomes out THE Undisputed WWE Champion, The American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes! The fans cheer Cody’s entrance, “WHOA~ OH~!” and Cody even climbs up a ladder to show he’s not afraid of heights. Cody gets his second round of pyro, then he goes to the ring to join HBK and KO. The fans cheer as Cody and Kevin stare down, but HBK tells them, “Gentlemen, if you would be seated please.” They don’t, so he says fine, he digs it.

HBK says for months, these two have battered and beaten each other. And as much as everyone has enjoyed watching it, HBK has an assignment. That is to walk out of this ring, with their signatures on the contract. So one way or another, it needs to happen. So again, he asks they please sign. Cody takes the pen first, and he signs his part as champion. Kevin then takes the pen, looks a the contract, but then picks up the mic. “Y’know, last night you (Cody) said something that really pissed me off. You said that 10 times outta 10, Kevin Owens takes the easy way out. Is that right? That’s a lie. That’s what you are, you’re a liar.”

Kevin could’ve taken the easy way out at Bash In Berlin because of Cody’s knee, because Kevin cared about their friendship more than Cody ever did! And you know who takes the easy way out? It’s CODY! Who between them left WWE when things got tough? Kevin stayed, Cody quit! Cody shouts, “ENOUGH! ENOUGH, Kevin!” Cody didn’t come here to talk about the past, or so Kevin can justify his actions. Cody didn’t get all dressed up, HBK didn’t return to San Antonio, to hear Kevin talk! Cody is done worrying about Kevin Owens. Cody instead must focus on who he is defending his title against at WrestleMania.

So if Kevin would just please, SIGN, THE, CONTRACT! The fans cheer, but Kevin tells Cody, “Trust me, you’re not done worrying about Kevin Owens. Because once I sign this, you know what that means? That makes it official. That Saturday night at the Royal Rumble, I will shut everyone up who dares to say I’m not the real champion. I am the true, rightful WWE Champion! And once I win the title, everything you got when you came back, your face on every poster, on all the buses, all the fanfare, all the grand entrances, all the attention, the pyro, everything, it’s coming to ME! Because that’s what I’ve deserved for the last TEN YEARS, and I’m taking it from YOU!”

HBK waits a moment, then says, “Jesus, Kevin. You just sound jealous.” Kevin glares at HBK and asks what he just said. HBK says that Kevin sounds jealous. JEALOUS!? Kevin says that’s rich! HBK is just like Cody! When things got tough for HBK, he quit, too! You wanna know who is jealous? HBK is jealous that Kevin brought more pride to the Winged Eagle than HBK ever did! And once Kevin wins, he will give everyone a champion they can be proud of, that they can look to, and won’t lose his smile~! The only one losing at the Rumble is Cody! Kevin finally signs his part, then he SHOVES it into HBK!

The fans boo but Kevin stares Cody down again. HBK says, “Gentlemen, there’s only one thing left to do, and that is to take these championships. May I please get a referee in here? And ascend them above the ring.” A referee does step in, and Kevin gives the Winged Eagle title a last kiss before handing it over. That belt is strapped onto the hanger, then the same is done with Cody’s corporate logo belt. The hanger is then lifted into the air, and HBK says next Saturday, Lucas Oil Stadium, one man ascends the ladder, and one man walks out THE Undisputed WWE Champion. He wishes them luck, then offers a handshake.

Kevin leaves HBK hanging, so Cody takes the hand. And Kevin sucker punches Cody! HBK warns KO, but then KO kicks HBK! But Cody SUPERKICKS Kevin! HBK is furious, so he tunes up the band! The fans are thunderous for some SWEET CHIN MUSIC!! Kevin tumbles out of the ring while San Antonio cheers! Will Cody make sure “The Canadian Dream” is living a nightmare after the Royal Rumble? Or will Kevin find a way to ruin Cody’s Road to WrestleMania?

 

Braun Strowman VS Jacob Fatu!

There may not be a championship on the line, but you can consider this a title match in that the winner here could very well be the ALPHA monster! Will the Monster of All Monsters still be Braun Strowman? Or will the Samoan Werewolf tear down #OneBigSOB?

SNME returns and once again, Tama & Jacob walk ‘n’ talk. The Good Bad Guy says everyone’s on that YEHYEHYEH!

WWE World Heavyweight Championship: GUNTHER VS Jey Uso!

Der Ring General does not think “Main Event Jey Uso” is worthy of that nickname, and yet here they both are in tonight’s main event. These two already had it out during Gunther’s historic Intercontinental Championship reign, will history repeat itself? Or will Jey finally and for truly stand tall as THE World Heavyweight Champion?

SNME returns and Gunther makes his entrance. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who wins Saturday Night’s Main Event!

The bell rings, Jey puts his sunglasses aside, and Gunther BOOTS Jey down! Gunther talks smack while he stands Jey up, but Jey UPPERCUTS! And ROCKS Gunther with a right! Gunther CHOPS Jey, Jey ROCKS Gunther with more hands! Gunther CHOPS again! Jey is stinging as he falls against the ropes, but Gunther stands him up. Jey dodges the chop to fire body shots! Jey climbs up and he rains down fists! “YEET! YEET! YEET!” But Gunther stops Jey at 7, puts him on the corner, and CHOPS him to the floor! The fans boo while SNME goes to break.

SNME returns again and Jey fires hands! “YEET! YEET! YEET!” But Gunther clamps on a SLEEPER! Jey arm-drags free, but Gunther blocks a kick! Gunther LARIATS Jey down! Cover, TWO! Jey stays in this but Gunther stays on him with a NECK TWIST! Jey writhes while Gunther paces. The fans boo but Gunther stands Jey up. Gunther scoops and SLAMS Jey, then stalks him. Gunther stands Jey up to CHOP him! Jey is again stinging but he stays up. Gunther BOOTS Jey! Jey fires forearms! Gunther CHOPS! Jey fires more forearms! Gunther CHOPS again! Jey rebounds, but into an UPPERCUT! Jey UPPERCUTS back!

Jey fires hands, whips Gunther, but Gunther reverses! Jey hits buckles hard and falls to the mat! Gunther drops a KNEE on him! Gunther then STOMPS Jey’s arm! The fans boo but Gunther looms over Jey. Gunther clamps onto Jey with a chinlock and he grinds his forearm into Jey’s face! The fans rally for Jey and he fights up. Jey manages to fireman’s carry Gunther! The fans fire up but Gunther fights free! Gunther CHOPS! Jey ROCKS! Gunther UPPERCUTS! Jey UPPERCUTS! Gunther swings, Jey dodges, and Jey fireman’s carries! SAMOAN DROP! Both men are down and the fans fire up again!

Jey and Gunther crawl, and Gunther makes it to a corner. Jey goes to the opposite end, and the fans rally behind Jey with “UCE! OH~!” Jey runs, into the SHOTGUN DROPKCIK! Gunther hurries to haul Jey right up, GENERAL BOMBO! High stack, TWO! Jey survives and Gunther is surprised! Gunther catches his breath, calms down, and thinks on what else he should try. The fans rally for Jey even harder while Gunther stalks him to ropes. Jey goes to the apron, but Gunther goes out after him. Gunther stomps Jey, then stands on his neck! The ref reprimands but Gunther steps off. Jey sputters, but Gunther BOOTS him again, right as SNME goes to break!

SNME returns once again, and Jey trades shots with Gunther! The fans rally behind Jey as he gets the edge, “YEET! YEET! YEET!” Jey pops, locks and- Gunther BOOTS him! Jey kicks, Gunther blocks, but the DRAGON WHIP comes around! Only for Gunther to GERMAN SUPLEX! Gunther runs, into a SUPERKICK! Cover, TWO! Gunther survives and the fans can’t believe it! Jey catches his breath while Gunther goes to a corner. Gunther comes back, but Jey avoids the shotgun dropkick! Jey gets moving, and he HIP ATTACKS Gunther in the corner! Cover, TWO! Gunther is tougher than that, but the fans still rally.

Jey goes to the corner and the fans fire up! Jey climbs, but Gunther rises! Gunther CHOPS Jey, then CHOPS again! Gunther climbs up after Jey, brings him to the very top, but Jey resists the suplex! Jey fires body shots, then slips under Gunther! Jey brings Gunther out for a POWERBOMB! Cover, TWO!! Gunther survives and the fans still can’t believe it! Both Jey and Gunther are down, “This is Awesome!” as they slowly rise. Jey and Gunther rise up, but Gunther kicks low! Gunther reels Jey in, but Jey RANAS! Jey then runs to SPEAR!! Cover, TWO?!? Gunther survives and Jey is frustrated, but Jey hurries to aim again!

Gunther rises, Jey runs up, SUPERKICK! Gunther staggers back up so Jey runs in, SPEAR!! Jey hurries to the corner! Jey climbs, the fans are thunderous, USO SPLASH!! Cover, TWO?!? Gunther survives yet again and Jey is beside himself! The fans rally with more “YEET! YEET! YEET!” and Jey aims from a corner. Jey runs up, but Gunther turns spear into POWERBOMB! And then he flips Jey over to POWERBOMB again!! DEEP stack, GUNTHER WINS!

Winner: Gunther, by pinfall (still WWE World Heavyweight Champion)

Gunther didn’t just win, he just survived this battle with Main Event Jey! Der Ring General seems to at least respect Jey a bit more now, but what is it going to take for Jey to truly be the main event player?


My Thoughts:

A great Saturday Night’s Main Event, and while they really made us wonder for a couple moments, they of course held the status quo. As I said going into tonight, it would be a bit odd if the moment Sheamus finally won the Intercontinental Championship was here on NBC TV. A moment like that should be saved for WrestleMania, but I’m not sure that’ll even happen now. Granted, we have three months to build, but what would the point be after all this? Rhea VS Nia was an awesome match, especially with Rhea busting out some stuff she’d never really done before. Rhea of course won because she just got this belt back, and Nia will be in the Women’s Rumble to beef it up while trying to get after Tiffany.

The contract signing segment being in the middle was a touch surprising, but I do appreciate that they understood a title match should be the main event. Good stuff from Cody, Kevin and HBK, especially Kevin’s shirt to reference Terry Funk’s classic “Dusty Sucks Eggs” shirt. Of course a fight started, and good stuff with HBK getting a Sweet Chin Music in, but this isn’t the go-home segment so don’t expect Kevin to win the ladder match just yet. Raw and SmackDown have their go-home episodes first, we’ll surely get a segment where Kevin gets even with Cody to put things back in Cody’s favor.

Great promo from Tama & Jacob as they head to gorilla, and then a great match from Jacob VS Braun. I was saying just last night that I expected a No Contest or Draw, but they instead went a much more vicious route. Jacob loses because he threw the ref aside, but he stands tall because he brutalized Braun like very few ever have. Jacob can definitely use this to do big things in the Rumble, and from there he can go for the US Championship, as I was also saying last night. Gunther VS Jey was awesome stuff, and they really got me thinking Jey was going to pull this off, but like with Sheamus, Jey’s crowning achievement is perhaps too big for just SNME. It would be pretty wild if Jey won the Men’s Rumble so that he could get one more chance at this title and win it in Vegas.

My Score: 8.9/10
