My Thoughts on SmackDown (7/18/17): The Power of Love

Jinder Mahal & the Singh Brothers kick off the show with the Punjabi Prison surrounding the ring. Jinder says the Punjabi Prison will be the final resting place of Randy Orton's legacy. The Singh Brothers then run down the rules of the Punjabi Prison; there are two cages surrounding the ring. The inner cage has four doors that can be opened when a wrestler calls for it. Each door will be open for 60 seconds, and once those 60 seconds are up, it gets locked shut and won't reopen. Or as Sunil Singh puts it, the door will "never, ever, athen, ever." That's what he said. The outer cage has no doors and must be climbed over. The winner is the first man to escape both cages. Jinder then says there are no rules in the Punjabi Prison. Was he not listening? They just explained the rules. Jinder says he will hit Orton with the Khallas off the top of the cage and says he will walk out of the Punjabi Prison as WWE Champion. Jinder speaks in Punjabi until Randy Orton ...

My Thoughts on RAW (7/17/17): Who's Your Daddy?

Dean Ambrose comes down to the ring to kick off the show with a steel chair in hand. He says he's bent out of shape because of the Miz, but he had fun beating him, Bo Dallas, and Curtis Axel up last week. He calls out Miz & his Miztourage and threatens to beat Miz so bad he'll wake up back on the Real World. Instead of the Miz, Seth Rollins comes out and says Ambrose shouldn't pick a fight he can't win on his own. He says Ambrose needs to come up with a better plan, but Ambrose says that's not his way and he came down after Rollins' match last week because he wanted to. He tells Rollins to stay out of his business, but Rollins says Miz insulting him made it his business. He asks if Ambrose will be in his way or on his side when he fights the Miz. Ambrose says he doesn't know this Seth Rollins, he knows the one that beat him down with a chair three years ago and broke up the Shield. Rollins apologizes for what he did and says he lives with that every...

My Thoughts on NXT (7/12/17): Mass

Aleister Black vs BOBBY FISH!- Yes! One-half of reDRagon is in NXT! The two feel eachother out to start before Black goes to a wristlock. The two trade holds going back and forth. Black connects with a kick to the chest, which Fish responds to with multiple kicks of his own. Fish boots Black to the ropes before Black strikes away at Fish, leading to a running knee that sends Fish out of the ring. Black tries to suplex Fish back into the ring from the apron, but Fish blocks it with a knee before locking in a sleeper from the apron. The ref forces a break, after which Fish drops down and kicks Black's leg out from under him from ringside. It looked awesome. After a commercial break, we come back to Fish beating down Black in the ropes, following up with a slingshot senton for a near fall. Fish controls the match, working over Black's leg. Black mounts a comeback and connects with a big boot followed by multiple kicks to the chest. Black hits a springboard moonsault before ...

My Thoughts on SmackDown (7/11/17): The Truth is Not H

We kick off the show with the new United States Champion AJ Styles. He says he's an upgrade as the "face of America" and announces that he's bringing back the US Open Challenge to prove that whoever has this title is the best. He challenges anyone in the back to come out and prove him wrong. Outcomes John Cena, who clarifies that that includes him. Styles says it especially means him. Cena accepts the challenge and calls a referee down right now. AJ Styles (c) vs John Cena-United States Championship- EXCEPT NOPE! Kevin Owens comes out before the bell rings and says nobody wants to see another John Cena-AJ Styles match. That is a lie. I love Kevin Owens, but that is a lie. He says everyone wants to see the rightful owner of the title get it back, which his himself. He says nobody wants to see Cena back and tells him to stay away from his title. Cena challenges him to get him out of the ring before he is attacked by Rusev. Styles throws Rusev off of Cena, only to ...

My Thoughts on RAW (7/10/17): After Balls of Fire

We kick off the show with Big Cass. He mockingly asks the crowd "How you doin'?" and says he couldn't feel any better after what he did to Enzo Amore. He says he got Enzo out of his life forever last night and that everyone on the RAW roster should take note of what he did to Enzo last night because that's what happens if people mess with him. He tells the crowd not hop on his bandwagon now and says that everyone who's ever doubted him will eat their words when he wins the Universal Championship one day. He says nobody can touch him, nobody is on his level, and nobody is bigger than him. Obviously, this leads to the Big Show coming out. Show headbutts Cass before taking Cass down to the mat. Big Show beats down Cass in the corner before Cass rolls out of the ring. Elias Samson vs Finn Balor- Before the match, Elias Samson sings a song about Finn Balor, which is interrupted by Balor himself. Samson starts off the match with a bodyslam, which Balor respond...

My Thoughts on NXT (7/5/17): Let Them Eat Cake

Kassius Ohno & Hideo Itami vs SAnitY- Ohno & Alexander Wolfe start off by fighting into the corner. Ohno hits a step-up knee before tagging in Itami. The two kick away at Wolfe in the corner before Itami drops a few knees. Itami kicks Wolfe in the face before hitting a tornado DDT into the top rope. However, a distraction by Killian Dain allows Wolfe to hot shot Itami down onto the top rope. Dain tags in and beats down Itami in the corner before the commercial break. We come back to Wolfe beating down Itami. SAnitY controls the match until Itami slips out of a bodyslam by Dain. At the same time, Wolfe distracts Ohno and lures him off the apron. Itami strikes Dain down and tries to tag out, but Ohno is on the other side of the ring. This allows Dain to splash Itami in the corner for a near fall as Ohno gets back on the apron. Itami strikes back at Dain but doesn't go for the tag this time. Wolfe tags in, but Itami runs wild on him before taking out Dain on the apron. It...

My Thoughts on SmackDown (7/4/17): Keep It PG

Happy 4th of July everyone. Or as they call it outside of the US...Tuesday. Hope you enjoy this review. We kick off the show with the return of John Cena. He talks about Independence Day before saying the WWE is a lot like America, where people from all walks of life come together. He then turns his attention to the people who say he's "gone Hollywood" and a "part timing mascot." He says he's not a part timer. That's kind of hard to say that when you just came back from two-month break...which was preceded by a two-month break. He then says he'll beat anyone who steps in his way before Rusev makes his return. Finally, Handsome Rusev is back. Rusev says he works just as hard as Cena, so hard that he got injured, but he never got return promo packages. He says Cena's not going to take his opportunities from him and calls America a joke. Cena responds with a dick joke and challenges Rusev to a match. Rusev says Bulgarian Independence Day is b...
