By Graham "GSM" Matthews Jey Uso def. Konnor What's worse than another Usos vs. Ascension match? Putting them in singles competition! Sure, I guess it's something different, but as I've said time and time again, The Usos hardly interest me as singles competitors, and The Ascension aren't much better. This was mostly superkicks galore from Jey and then Konnor taking most of his offense and signature spots. It was a fine win for Jey, but needless to say, The Usos are in desperate need of a major shake-up sometime soon. American Alpha def. Breezango I really loved the match these two tandems had in the first round of the tag team tournament, as I thought it was the perfect opportunity for Breezango to prove themselves as more than just a goofy act. They contested a similarly solid match here, but it ultimately wasn't as good, possibly due to a dead live crowd. They tried, though, and it was a nice little match in the allotted time, just not nearly as entertaining as their initial outing.

By Graham "GSM" Matthews Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens and Big Cass Discussed the Fatal 4-Way WWE Universal Championship Elimination Match WWE had very little time to build up this bout following last week's qualifying matches, so this was effective in making the match more meaningful than it already was. It allowed everyone to establish why they wanted to become champion, and although Reigns didn't speak at all, it worked out well because he was the last man standing, anyway. I'm typically not found of dick jokes in wrestling, but admittedly, the one Cass (who held his own on the mic nicely without Enzo Amore) made at Rollins' expense was pretty hilarious. A solid segment to open the evening. Chris Jericho def. Neville This was the barn-burner of a bout I was hoping we would see between these two earlier this year yet that match didn't met my lofty expectations. The in-ring action here was exciting, they were given great time, and it was another opportunity for Neville to showcase his skills and prove just how good he is. Sure, I was a bit disappointed it was never once acknowledged that it was in a match with Jericho back in March that Neville got hurt, but that's nitpicking. The Liontamer to finish Neville off was a nice touch because he was the perfect size for it.

Nothing is off limits, and this week’s edition touches upon a variety of topics including:
By RJ Marceau After Finn Balor went down with his shoulder injury, the WWE was fast to implement a new plan to crown a new champion. Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins, Chris Jericho, Roman Reigns and Enzo & Cass came down to the ring to plead their case to be the new champion. I could understand Owens, Rollins, Jericho and Reigns making a case for the title but what has Enzo & Cass done to earn a WWE Universal title match? I know Vince loves Cass due to his size but he has no business pursuing the United States Championship either. The WWE will probably go with the easy and predictable route with either Seth Rollins or Roman Reigns winning the title. I am a big fan of Rollins so it’s hard saying don’t give it to Rollins but the WWE has failed to make new big stars in recent years. Since “The Shield” broke up the WWE has only really focused on them as the new faces or stars of the company. I know people will say they were going to push Finn Balor but reports say that if Reigns didn’t get suspended then it would have been Reigns vs. Rollins for the WWE Championship. Balor was supposed to face Chris Jericho before the suspension. |
