Raw and Smackdown Review

This Week started WWE road to Summerslam, The brand extension Monday Night Raw started off with a bang with two fatal four ways with the two winners faced off against each other with the winner facing off against Seth Rollins at Summerslam to crown the first ever WWE Universal Champion. The main event was Roman Reigns versus NXT top draft pick in the draft to Monday Night Raw, Finn Balor. Finn Balor defeated Roman Reigns in a way that no one has been able to do since Roman was WWE Champions and that way was CLEAN not a cheap victory like by cheating or Disqualifications. WWE Monday Night Raw also started the new era off with a huge bang with Sasha Banks becoming the new women’s championship when she made Charlotte tap out to the Bank Statement.

Tuesday Night Smackdown, that has some getting used to, Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan started off the show with a bang by having a six pack challenge to determined who is going to face Dean Ambrose at summerslam for the wwe world heavyweight championship. The five participants that they named was John Cena, Dolph Ziggler, Bray Wyatt, Baron Corbin, and AJ Styles with the six person coming out from a battle royal which was won by Apollo “don’t call me Terry” Crews. Becky Lynch defeated Natalya in a Battleground rematch, Also Randy Orton defeated the Miz in his first match back since his injury,  in the main event Dolph Ziggler won the six pack challenge where he is heading to summer slam to face Dean Ambrose.

Now the card heading into summerslam so far is Brock Lesnar vs Randy Orton, Dean Ambrose defending his WWE World Championship against Dolph Ziggler, and Seth Rollins facing Finn Balor for the vacant WWE Universal Championship.

So what matches do you want to see happen at Summerslam let know on Twitter @WarriorMW23

Raw Preview and Dream Predictions

Monday Night Raw is going to be unveiling a new stage set for the new era, but some questions are looking to be answered tonight with the WWE World Championship, WWE Women's Championship and Tag Team Championships. If those three championships are going to be on both brands so who are going to be the new challengers for the championships.

Here are some ideas that i have for these three championships. Why not have a number one contender tournaments for each titles then at the pay per view have the championship matches. I would love to see Finn Balor vs Dean Ambrose or The Club vs The Dudley Vs The New Day.

Who are dream title feuds that you want to see in this new era.

Battleground Review

Last night was a stellar event put on by WWE it shows that they are ready for the new era to begin tonight with Monday Night Raw, but there are a few things that are still uncertain and that is the state of the women’s and tag team division belts are the champions going to be floaters like the WWE champion? Now let's get to some points that I want to talk about in this pay per view.

Breezango versus the usos, this match you would think would be the Uso’s for the taking. That is where you are going to be shocked to see that they lost, because the prince of cuteville and the dashing dancer pulled out the victory from the jaws of defeat so to speak.

Sasha Banks and BAYLEY vs Charlotte and Dana Brooke, now I know the IWC is marking out that Bayley were Sasha choice. Reports were saying Nia Jax, Nikki Bella, or Naomi. Sasha made Charlotte tap out to get the Victory what does this mean going towards Summerslam is Sasha going to be the number one contender or will Charlotte find a way to avoid Sasha or defending the championship.

New Day versus The Wyatt Family was a match that brought out shades of old school wrestling between the good versus evil. Bray Wyatt was inside the mind of Xavier Woods throughout the match. WWE Commentary was calling this the going away party for the Wyatt’s since the draft separated when Braun was drafted to Monday Night Raw and Bray and Rowan were Drafted to Smackdown.

Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn that match that stole the show in my eyes, this feud has the makings to be a feud like Shawn Michaels and Triple H as the saying good in wrestling “Good Friends Better Enemies” well with these two it put out true because they brought out the best in each other, Sami picked up a huge victory over owens last night.

These were some of the moments that stuck out for me from this event, now it is time to see what WWE is going to do heading into Summerslam.

The Relm Review

This week in wrestling turned out to be the highest ratings in a long time for Smackdown once they went live on Tuesday Nights, Tuesday is also a way to stop the dirt sheets of getting match results at that show tapings and leaking them before the show airs in the states. It would like that they stacked the draft to be in favor of Monday Night Raw with them getting three draft picks for every two that smackdown made.

Okay folks it is rant time on the The Relm Report, A Lot of the IWC fans are bitching and moaning about Eva Marie being drafted to smackdown saying she was an NXT call up, News Flash humanoids Eva Marie was on the Main Roster for the women's division, so you need to realize that she wasn’t a dang NXT draft pick. MoJo Rawley this pick i saw coming because Zack Ryder is on the Main roster loop of shows and Rawley was working he main roster house show loop for a couple weeks now. The Hype bros are going to be something good for the main roster in the tag team division.

Alright Lucha Underground is the alternative to WWE and TNA, they had their season finale for season two which had some major shocks and surprises like Angelico returning to screwing Worldwide underground to help Air, Fire, and Fury( Fenix, Aerostar,  and Drago) to win the lucha underground trio titles which also made Fenix the first ever Triple Crown Champion in lucha underground history. Then you had the debut of Black Lotus against Dragon Azteca Junior from the start it shown they were out for blood, the match was cut short when Pentagon Dark interrupted and attacked both of them and broke both of their arms in the ring and called out Matanza Cueto for the world title match to get start, Pentagon dominated the match till his master Vampiro inadvertently screwed him over by bringing in the barbwire bat.

Then you have the dream match of the year, “El Rey” Rey Mysterio vs “Prince” Prince Puma in a match that was all about respect and to see if Rey still had what it takes to hang with the younger talent of the Lucha Underground roster. Also this dream match was cut short by Pentagon Dark again attacking Rey and Prince Puma but this time he also attacked his former Master Vampiro with the barbwire baseball bat.

Now here is where the traditional wrestling fans are getting confused when they see Dario Cueto being arrested in the cutscene to end the show with a to be continued. So there are unanswered questions for Lucha Underground going into season three. So stay tuned to see what is going to happen in The Temple.

Brock UFC Fate after being busted again

The USADA has informed Brock Lesnar that he also tested positive the night of his fight against Mark Hunt. Brock tested positive for the same substance that Jon Bones Jones tested for when he was suspended for two years. Nevada Commission is looking to fine Brock Lesnar for these positive test that have happened.

But my question is going to be now how does this look towards WWE now because he is signed with WWE. I think WWE is not going to allow Brock to step back into the octagon since this has happened, what is WWE going to do to brock will they test him the same way that USADA is doing test to make sure that he is not faking the wellness policy.

People are wondering if Brock is going to come back to UFC, now he is looking to face a two year suspension which would have him come back to fight at the age of 41 since he is 39 right now. So we have to wait and see what happens with the future of Brock Lesnar in the UFC.

WWE Mock Draft

Tuesday Night WWE landscape will change, With this Draft Extension happening on the first episode of Smackdown Live. WWE announced the rules for the draft which has fans calling foul because they have stated that for every two picks Smackdown receives Monday Night Raw will receive Three picks, now here is my thing with this set up why should length of their respective shows determine the amount of picks the brand makes each round. What i think they should do is have a match to determine which brand gets the next pick not do it by ratings.

One thing that I love is that WWE is only allowing 6 draft picks from NXT, so here is my predictions of NXT talent getting drafted. Bayley, Finn Balor, American Alpha, shinsuke nakamura, Alexa Bliss, The Revival. People are saying why American Alpha and The Revival being drafted, the reason is tag teams are one pick instead of two picks unless the Commissioner or General Manager specifically only wants one member of the team.

Here is my mock draft for Monday Night Raw and Tuesday night Smackdown with the current top champion for the world and women's champions being floaters and allowed to appear on both shows.

UFC 200 recap

UFC 200 is now in the books with shocks around the world that Amanda Nunes has defeated Miesha Cupcake tate to become the new UFC Women's bantamweight champion, This coming after Miesha just won the title off of Holly Holm at UFC 196. Now people are talking that is this a sign that UFC needs its prodigal daughter to return to her throne being Ronda Rousey? I believe that it might be true because UFC was more marketable when Ronda was champion but that was pre holly holm lost. Now how is she going to be in the octagon since she has a lost in her career? I think when the time comes for Rousey to return she will be a dominate beast that she once was.

Jose Aldo defeated Frankie Edgar to become the Interim featherweight championship, this was a fight that I saw Aldo winning from when they announced it. So I was happy to see that he won the championship, now I can’t wait to see when the current champion at Featherweight comes back for the title unification bout.

Anderson Silva you are the real MVP in the eyes of Dana White and Daniel Cormier after the Jon Bones Jones suspension. This bout was ground and pound, it went the distance with the champion coming out on top, but could their be a rematch with a full training camp with the both of them in the future?

Cain Velasquez proved to Travis Browne that he is a future legend in the octagon with a first round knockout in two minutes and 36 seconds. Cain simply proved that he is out to get the victory it doesn’t have to be slow and methodical it can be quick and painful.

Now the fight that most fans were shocked to see happen in the first place, Brock Lesnar returns to the UFC with a victory over a top 10 ranked fighter in the heavyweight division, with one fight he stakes claim at quite possibly contending for the UFC heavyweight championship again, Could WWE profit off of Brock being UFC Champion and WWE Champion at the same time that is the question I know Wrestling and MMA fans would want to know? In my opinion, Yes it would be a smart business move to have Brock be UFC and WWE champion that way you can cross promotions between companies set up fights for brock through fan interaction by the fighter calling out brock. Now we will have to stay tuned to see what the companies and brock want to do when it comes to Brock fighting in the UFC.
