Chris King is back bringing us his quick hits for this week in WWE. With TLC right around the corner, what are the 5 most intriguing storylines in all of WWE?

Another crazy week in the world of WWE and all of pro wrestling–take a look at the big moments for Chris King!

5. The Culmination Of The Love Story

On this week’s episode of Raw, WWE announced the latest development in the love triangle between Rusev/Lana/Bobby Lashley will take place next week: The Divorce! After weeks of ridiculous promo segments and cringe-worthy moments, the two exes will finally be splitting up on live TV.

We’ve witnessed over the past few weeks the brutality and plain hatred between Rusev and Lashley gradually increase and it all feels to be coming to a head at the upcoming TLC pay-per-view. A tables, ladders, and chairs match is very fitting for a fantastic conclusion for this story.

4. A Huge Fatal 4-Way For The NXT Championship?

On this week’s episode of NXT due to the absolute chaos surrounding The Undisputed Era and Tomasso Ciampa, Keith Lee, and Finn Balor, GM William Regal announced a massive triple-threat-match pitting all three challengers against each other.

They will go to war to determine the next number-one contender for Adam Cole’s NXT Title to challenge on the December 18th episode.

I highly doubt that this match is going to end with a conclusive winner, so I’m expecting UE to interfere and a fatal-four-way announced. All three competitors cannot afford a loss right now so what’s the best way to handle this, keep Ciampa, Lee, and Balor looking strong with a disqualification.

3. A Triple-Threat-Match For The NXT UK Women’s Championship?

On last week’s episode of NXT UK, the former NXT UK Women’s Champion Toni Storm emerged to gain some payback after getting humiliated by her former friend Kay Lee Ray at TakeOver: Cardiff. Piper Niven had just defeated Jinny and called out Ray declaring her intentions on coming after the Women’s Title.

On this week’s episode of NXT UK, Storm found her way back into the win column by defeating Killer Kelly. Afterward, she was attacked by Ray and Niven made the save. Both women demonstrated tension, both with a refusal of a handshake in the ring and backstage.

I feel like this leading to a triple-threat-match for the NXT Women’s Championship at TakeOver: Blackpool II with Ray defending her title against both Niven and Storm. All three women will have a tremendous match and show once again that NXT’s women’s division is light-years ahead of any other company’s.

2. A Five Star Tag Team Classic For The SmackDown Tag Team Championships?

On this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, The Revival outlasted three other tag teams to become the new number-one contenders for The New Day’s Tag Team Titles at TLC. At the Clash of Champions pay-per-view, Dash and Dawson defeated E and Woods to win claim the tag team titles in an incredible match.

Three weeks ago, the two tandems were on the cusp of creating magic again in a rematch until all four members of The Undisputed Era interfered causing a disqualification. I am so excited about this championship match one week from Sunday. Both incredible tag teams have the possibility to tell an incredible story and steal the entire pay-per-view.

1. Bray Wyatt Is An Absolute Genius

Have you ever given someone the keys to change their character and witnessed them actually make gold out of whatever they find? That’s exactly what Wyatt has done over the past months and it’s amazing to watch.

Even after the horrendous Hell in a Cell match when the WWE Universe shit on “The Fiend” and Seth Rollins’s terrible story, Wyatt still managed to turn things around in his favor. Especially, after he targeted Daniel Bryan bringing their storied history full circle and successfully defending his Universal Championship at Survivor Series.

On this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Wyatt made the biggest character development in my opinion, when he turned his attention to The Miz and his family. Wyatt interrupted The A-LISTER who was delivering a heartfelt promo over his long-time rival and enemy Bryan. Later in the show, Miz was assuring Maryse of their safety and was about to come home until he noticed a red-lighted room.

Wyatt had placed a photograph where he replaced himself for Miz and viciously attacked him delivering a Sister Abigail. Hearing Wyatt sing his own rendition of “Home for the Holidays” was creepy as hell but it was also glorious all at the same time. Now at TLC, Wyatt (not “The Fiend”) will defend his Universal Championship against Miz.

The WWE Universe had been speculating for months if The Fiend would be the only one defending the title and now we have our answer. I cannot tell you how excited I am to see where this story is heading, and more importantly where Wyatt goes from here character-wise.

There you have it, folks, those are my quick hits for this week. It’s crazy to think that next week is both Go-Home shows for Raw and SmackDown and yet we only have a few matches announced.

Chairshot Staff Picks: Money In The Bank

Extra, extra read all about it… Chairshot Staff picks are in!!!

Published

2 weeks ago

June 6, 2025

PC Tunney

Sing it with me… money money money money moneeeeeeeeeyeeeeee… everybody’s got a price! MONEY IN THE BANK is here!!! How money will our staff picks be?!?

AJ – Roxanne Perez
Andrew – Stephanie Vaquer – *Bubba Sparxxx Impression* I don’t tell stories, I let them tell theyself.
Dave – Guilia – A stacked field but I just like her here.
DJ – Naomi
DPP – Roxanne Perez
Jason – Alexa Bliss
Patrick – Roxanne Perez
Rey – Naomi – If Naomi loses, we riot!
Rob – Naomi
Greg – Alexa Bliss – Bliss has had huge reactions since returning and is moving a ton of merch. While I can see them wanting to build Roxanne Perez, Giulia, or Stephanie Vaquer, I think Alexa Bliss.

Tunney’s Take: Rhea Ripley – I’ll make my case short and sweet… Mami in the Bank! You can’t leave that money on the table.

Chairshot Pick – Tie – Naomi 3 & Roxanne Perez 3 (Alexa Bliss 2, Giulia 1, Rhea Ripley 1, Stephanie Vaquer 1)

AJ – LA Knight
Andrew – El Grande Americano – Feels correct given his push and the fact he’s over.
Dave – Seth Rollins – Got to push that new faction.
DJ – LA Knight
DPP – El Grande Americano
Jason – LA Knight
Patrick – Solo Sikoa
Rey – LA Knight – Looks like another push, and he does have history with Cena.
Rob – Solo Sikoa
Greg – Seth Rollins – This company is extremely high in the El Grande Americano gimmick, but this match comes down to Seth Rollins or LA Knight. Given the Rollins storyline, it’s his briefcase to win.

Tunney’s Take: El Grande Americano – Picture this: Chad Gable wins the AAA Mega Championship and El Grande Americano wins MITB! WHAT A SATURDAY in LA!!!

Chairshot Pick – LA Knight 4 (El Grande Americano 3, Seth Rollins 2, Solo Sikoa 2)

AJ – Becky Lynch – Sadly
Andrew – Becky Lynch – I still don’t care about Lyra.
Dave – Lyra Valkyria – Starting to warm up to her and Becky has a lot to do with that.
DJ – Lyra Valkyria
DPP – Becky Lynch
Jason – Becky Lynch
Patrick – Lyra Valkyria
Rey – Becky Lynch – Put some fire on the Irish Beef.
Rob – Becky Lynch
Greg – Becky Lynch – I don’t think you do a rematch here just to have Becky lose again. Unless Bayley shows up to help Lyra.

Tunney’s Take: Becky Lynch – A big part of me feels that winning this title checks off a major box for Becks in her HOF career.

Chairshot Pick – Becky Lynch 8-3

AJ – Cena & Paul
Andrew – Rhodes & Uso – Easy way for Cena to lose without eating the pinfall.
Dave – Rhodes & Uso – Get the QB back on the winning track.
DJ – Rhodes & Uso
DPP – Rhodes & Uso
Jason – Cena & Paul
Patrick – Cena & Paul
Rey – Rhodes & Uso – Heels usually lose these kinds of matches. Logan takes the pin.
Rob – Cena & Paul
Greg – Rhodes & Uso – I hope Jey isn’t an afterthought here like Cody was last fall when he was paired up with Roman. I think Cody pins Cena to set up Cody-Cena 2 at SummerSlam.

Tunney’s Take: Cena & Paul – I don’t think Cena is involved in another loss until he loses the WWE Championship. I also think Logan Paul is NOT done trying to capture Jey Uso’s World Heavyweight Championship. …Travis Scott in the house?

Chairshot Pick – 6-5 Rhodes & Uso

Chairshot Staff Picks: Backlash St. Louis

Chairshot Staff picks!!!

Published

1 month ago

May 9, 2025

PC Tunney

May is upon us and with that, so is Backlash from St. Louis! What does the first PLE after WrestleMania have in store for the WWE Universe? Let’s see if the Chairshot Staff can properly interpret the crystal ball of rasslin’ future.

AJ – Pat MacAfee – Gunther has to start losing control and who better than an announcer.
Andrew – Pat MacAfee – Goldberg getting involved does seem correct here.
Dave – Gunther – He’s not losing to a broadcaster.
DJ – Gunther – Pat is sent to the shadow realm until football season is over.
DPP – Gunther – Post match beat down leads to Pat time off.
Jason – Gunther – One massive spot and or bump from Pat.
Patrick – Gunther
Rey – Gunther – RIP MacAfee, t’was a good life.
Rob – Gunther
Greg – Pat MacAfee – Why? Goooooldbeeerrrrrgggggg!

Tunney’s Take: Gunther – Seems like the right pick here. Pat may be getting some time off and Gunther needs more heat.

Chairshot Pick – GUNTHER 8-3

AJ – Lyra Valkyria – Becky’s hopefully putting her over, still mad about Dakota.
Andrew – Becky Lynch – I have no real interest in Lyra currently.
Dave – Becky Lynch – Lyra is boring AF!
DJ – Lyra Valkyria – Bayley interferes.
DPP – Becky Lynch – Becky cheats and steals the title.
Jason – Lyra Valkyria – Bayley costs Becks.
Patrick – Becky Lynch
Rey – Becky Lynch – Story needs to jump up a bit, Becky Charlotte’s Lyra.
Rob – Lyra Valkyria
Greg – Becky Lynch – It’s been fun, Lyra. (It kinda hasn’t)

Tunney’s Take: Lyra Valkyria – Bayley’s interference should set up some type of program with Becky as we head towards Summer(Slam).

Chairshot Pick – BECKY LYNCH 6-5

AJ – Jacob Fatu – Great way to put him over w/ two former WHCs and LA Knight.
Andrew – Jacob Fatu – He’s Jacob Fatu!
Dave – Jacob Fatu – Too soon to pull the belt off him.
DJ – Jacob Fatu – Priest and LA can’t decide who’s is bigger.
DPP – Jacob Fatu – Your hardcore match, tables and chairs involved.
Jason – Jacob Fatu – The Champ retains due to or in spite of Solo.
Patrick – Jacob Fatu
Rey – Jacob Fatu – All gas. No brakes. Ain’t losing.
Rob – Jacob Fatu
Greg – Jacob Fatu – Someone from The Samoan Dynasty ain’t winning a title just to drop it.

Tunney’s Take: Jacob Fatu – Uncle Mo is on Fatu’s side and other than Knight, I don’t see Drew or Priest holding the US title in the current circumstances of this title’s landscape.

Chairshot Pick – JACOB FATU 11-0

AJ – Dominic Mysterio – Judgement Day shenanigans just leading up to Finn turning on Dom later.
Andrew – Penta – Dom’s fine having a short reign, could also work for pushing AAA.
Dave – Dominic Mysterio – He’s probably more over than Penta.
DJ – Dominic Mysterio – Dirty Dom takes home the gold and the girl.
DPP – Dominic Mysterio – Big Head helps Dom pull out the win.
Jason – Dominic Mysterio – By hook and crook.
Patrick – Dominic Mysterio
Rey – Dominic Mysterio – Latino Heat keeps burning. Finn gets closer to the edge.
Rob – Dominic Mysterio
Greg – Dominic Mysterio – Someone from The Guerrero Dynasty ain’t winning a title just to drop it.

Tunney’s Take: Dominic Mysterio – That belt looks good with the king of chicken tendys. I can see Penta and Rey reforming as a tag team sooner than later.

Chairshot Pick – DOMINIC MYSTERIO 10-1

AJ – John Cena – Why? Cena wins, lol.
Andrew – John Cena – Shenanigans ensue so it’s not a clean win.
Dave – John Cena – The last time is now.
DJ – John Cena – Randy hears voices telling him he needs an Attitude Adjustment.
DPP – John Cena – Cena tries to cheat but the ref doesn’t call for a DQ.
Jason – John Cena – Nefarious means, Randy not ready for Evil John Cena.
Patrick – John Cena
Rey – John Cena – Cena just counting down the dates. Should be fun though.
Rob – John Cena
Greg – John Cena – You know they want Cody to be the hero in the end.

Tunney’s Take: Randy Orton – Once upon a time Randy got himself intentionally disqualified and it cost John. Saturday, history repeats itself with a 180-degree twist. Cena retains via Orton DQ victory. This time, Travis Scott’s appearance takes care of that task.

Chairshot Pick – JOHN CENA 10-1
