RAW The show opens with Gorilla Monsoon announcing that the Ultimate Warrior has been suspended indefinitely for no showing house shows until he posts an appearance bond guaranteeing he will appear at shows. However, he will be wrestling Owen Hart on this episode of RAW because this show was taped. That's a better reason then Monsoon gave, which was he's wrestling because "reasons."

During this match, Shawn Michaels & Ahmed Johnson cut a picture-in-picture promo saying they have found a third man to replace Warrior at the International Incident.

My Thoughts on NXT (4/26/17): Carry Your Cross

We kick off the show with Nikki Cross coming out to the ring. She then leaves and walks over to the ring announcer, calling out Ruby Riot. Riot walks out and the two stare eachother down in the ring before brawling. They brawl around ringside before security breaks them up. Kayla Braxton interviews Bobby Roode. He calls the GTS he received from Hideo Itami last week cowardly & unprovoked and says if he wants a title shot, he'll have to earn it. Andrade "Cien" Almas vs Drew McIntyre- Almas gets cocky at the start, quickly posing in the ropes when McIntyre throws him at them. However, McIntyre decides to boot him out of the ring. McIntyre tries to bring Almas back in the ring but yanks him down onto the stairs. Back in the ring, Almas beats down McIntyre in the corner before hitting a backbreaker for a near fall. Almas controls the match before he slaps McIntyre, prompting McIntyre to beat the piss out of him in the corner. The two trade chops before McIntyre cat...

My Thoughts on SmackDown (4/25/17): Stark Raving Ziggler

We kick off the show with Renee Young interviewing Shinsuke Nakamura in the ring. However, before Nakamura can say anything, Dolph Ziggler interrupts. He mockingly interviews Nakamura, mocking his broken English and saying he was Nakamura's biggest influence. Ziggler goes completely off the rails, implying that Nakamura is actually Michael Jackson. I don't know what the f*ck is going on. I think Ziggler's gone mental. He calls Nakamura a pathetic overrated freak before Nakamura takes the mic. He asks what Ziggler's problem is before calling him a jackass. That earns him a kick to the gut before Ziggler goes for a superkick. However, Nakamura catches him with an inverted exploder suplex and goes for the Kinshasa, but Ziggler escapes and rolls out of the ring. AJ Styles vs Baron Corbin- Kevin Owens is on commentary for this match. Styles tries to use his quickness to gain an advantage at first, but Corbin is able to counter it with his strength. Styles is able to lo...

RAW Shawn Michaels with Jose Lothario vs Marty Jannetty with Leif Cassidy & Jim Cornette- Why is Jim Cornette out with the New Rockers? No idea, it is not explained. Michaels & Jannetty get in each others faces before Jannetty forces Michaels into the corner. The two fight into the ropes before being forced to break. Michaels follows up with a hip toss before both men kip up. Jannetty takes Michaels down with a headlock, which Michaels turns into headscissors. Jannetty gets a near fall off a jackknife cover before countering a backslide, but missing a clothesline. Jannetty follows up with two arm drags, a hip toss, and a punch before Michaels comes back with a hip toss, two arm drags, and a dropkick that sends Jannetty out of the ring. Back in the ring, Jannetty goes for 10 punches in the corner, but Michaels counters it...

My Thoughts on RAW (4/24/17): Garbage Day!

We kick off the show with Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel. Jericho says this will be the last Highlight Reel on Monday Night RAW after he beats Kevin Owens for the United States Championship and moves to SmackDown LIVE. He says no matter where he is, the Friends of Jericho will cheer him on, man. He says he got the best guest he could for the final Highlight Reel on RAW...himself! He says he'll get his revenge on Owens and calls him the hemorrhoid of America before the Miz & Maryse come out. He says RAW is no longer Jericho and RAW is all about them, the It Couple. Jericho tells them to watch...............................................IT, couple! Miz says the Highlight Reel has been canceled and has been replaced by MizTV. Miz gets the crew to change the set and raise the JeriTron 6000. Before the Miz can start, Dean Ambrose comes out. He says Jericho is right; the Miz is a stupid idiot. Miz says Jericho never called him that, but Jericho says he was thinking it. Am...
