Raw Recap

Monday Night Raw kicked off on a sad note with Finn Balor vacating his newly won Universal Championship due to an injury that he suffered on SummerSlam. Then Mick Foley and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley came up with a way to crown a new universal champion. Which was to do a quick 8 man tournament with the finals being a fatal four way next week on Monday Night Raw.

What I found interesting is that Roman Reigns, Big Cass, Kevin Owens, and Seth Rollins were all in the ring at the start of raw along with Sami Zayn and Chris Jericho and Enzo Amore. Now we know that Reigns, Big Cass, Kevin Owens, and Seth Rollins will fight for the Universal Championship next week on raw. Here were the matches that got us the fatal four way for next week, Seth Rollins defeated Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens defeated Neville, Big Cass defeated Rusev by countout, and Roman Reigns defeated Chris Jericho.

Bayley debuted on the Monday Night Raw brand as she faced Dana Brooke as Mick Foley called her up to be the one to face Charlotte for the Women’s Championship, But Charlotte doesn’t want to face Bayley so she said she had to face Dana Brooke first.

You also have Big E defeating Machine Gun Karl Anderson, Braun Strowman defeating Johnny Knockout, you also have Titus Oneil calling out Darren Young. Also the Shining Stars confronted the Dudley Boyz.

Speaking of Dudley Boyz last night was the night they said goodbye to the WWE fans, while saying Goodbye they were put through a table by Machine Gun Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows via the magic killer on Devon. So now what is going to happen with this will we get the match that the dudley boyz wanted when they first left TNA before signing with the WWE while Anderson and Gallows were in NJPW?

Takeover Brooklyn 2 review

Saturday Night WWE NXT Takeover proved that they are the better brand than the main roster, Their show was superior compared to Summerslam. I legit got chills when Shinsuke Nakamura entrance happened with the violinist that did his entrance live. The whole crowd was singing along with the theme song.

Where do I begin to talk about the matches that happened on Saturday. Let's start with the NXT Tag Team Championship The Revival barely escaped Brooklyn with the tag team championships. Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa better known as DIY, This match stole the show in my eyes of the Takeover Brooklyn card. DIY held their own against the champs, I actually thought that they were going to be the new champs.

Bayley she wrestled her heart out in the middle of the ring in her rematch with the “Empress of Tomorrow” Asuka, Asuka retain her women’s championship. This match was awesome it was better than their wrestlemania weekend match up where Asuka dethroned Bayley for the women’s championship. Now the question is who is going to be the one that ends the reign of Asuka?

Ember Moon Rising? That is going to be the name of her Stunner that she hit on Billie Kay. That match was Ember Moon debut in NXT and she showed WWE what she can do in the ring. Ember is one that could be ready to face Asuka now.

Shinsuke Nakamura, the King of Strong Style defeated the NXT Champion Samoa Joe. Samoa Joe was talking about how he is the Emperor of Strong Style. Shinsuke Dislocated Joe jaw with his Kinshasa, now rumors are going around that the NXT title is going to get a makeover like the IWGP IC title and have a white leather strap instead of the black one.

How Glorious was Robert Roode debut in NXT, that entrance was Glorious with him descending from the rafters like he was descending to earth from the heavens. He defeated Andrade Cien Almas. This match was better than i expected it to be when they announced this match.

Austin Aries vs No Way Jose, brought out a different style of No Way Jose. That side of him is something that i was waiting to see come out and i am glad it came out thanks to Austin Aries. Yes Aries wins his debut but after the match is what was more talked about it was Hideo Itami coming out and hitting the GTS on Aries. Now this is a feud that i can see money in leading into Takeover Respect.

ADR, Paige, and Eva Marie Suspended

Alberto Del Rio, Paige, and Eva Marie are three talent that have been suspended within 48 hours span. People are wondering what did all three of them take to get them suspended for the wellness policy.

My thoughts on this, it is crazy because you never know when WWE might be fooling the smart marks by using the eva marie suspension as part of your delaying debut angle that they have been running on smackdown, or is this a way for WWE to bring up a new women talent to the main roster for this six women tag match at SummerSlam.

Now for ADR and Paige, it has been a while that rumors have been swirling that WWE didn’t like the fact that ADR and Paige were dating and that their were rumors of management trying to get them to break them up. I can’t wait for their 30 days each to be up so they can come back and wreak havoc on the company in the ring.

WWE 24 revolution of Women's Wrestling

The Revolution of the women’s division in WWE has been a thing of beauty since the matches between Sasha Banks and Bayley when they had their takeover match where Bayley became the women’s champion for the first time and their rematch at takeover respect in the main event of the show in an ironman match for the championship. They have came along way since Lita and Trish retired back in 2007,  In my years of watching wrestling the Women’s matches are what drawn me to the show, yeah they have had bad storylines but seeing them actually have the chance to compete is what made me respect their determination to staying with what creative gave them.

This WWE 24 episode sparked an idea in my head that maybe i will see in the future but on a different variation of my concept. But the idea in my head is to have the past face the present and the present face the future. Here are some match ideas that i have in mind, i know some might not be able to happen.

Trish and Lita vs Bayley and Sasha Banks, you might think why not two other divas like the bella twins, the reason why i want to see this match because Bayley and Sasha Banks are this generation's Trish and Lita in the women’s division.

Mickie James vs Charlotte, people think why would i want to see this match, Because Mickie James could bring out a side of charlotte in the ring that we have not seen in awhile like her match against Natalya for the vacant women’s championship.

Now this next one WWE 2K actually did in a showcase mode, but I actually would love to see Paige and Madusa actually wrestle in a match on tv not in a video game. I think these two could show the wrestling world a glimpse of the past like Bull Nakano vs Madusa for the WWF women’s championship because Paige as some style of Bull’s in her in ring work.

Those are some matches that I would love to see WWE have happen but it is a pipe dream. What are some of your WWE women wrestling dream matches hit me up on twitter at @WarriorMW23.

CWC Review

Akira Tozawa vs Jack Gallagher was an awesome start to the episode for the second round. The way this match is going with catch wrestling with mix of strong style wrestling. I laughed at Gallagher putting Tozawa in a ball and letting Tozawa try to fight his way out only leading to getting kicked in the ass by gallaher, Tozawa get the victory with a bridging snap suplex. I love this match the back and forth Tozawa snap german suplex are a thing of beauty that could rival brock’s suplex.

Noam Dar vs Hoho Lun: this match is back and forth paced with trading kicks and punches and moves, this is a match that i would love to see again on the main roster. Noam Dar got the victory with a Kneebar submission this match was phenomenal i wish we can see more of these two in the future in the WWE.

Thee Brian Kendrick vs Tony Nese: This match was awesome between these two verterns, Kendrick is an evolution of what he once was when he first came to WWE when he was 22 when he was teaming with Paul London, Tony Nese is a wrestler that i would love to see on Monday Night Raw facing guys like Cesaro. Thee Brian Kendrick is moving on to the next round of the tournament after beating tony nese.

NXT Review

The go home show for Takeover Back to brooklyn started off with a bang with Mustafa Ali taking on Hideo Itami. This match was a good back and forth cruiserweight style match. There was a wicked baseball slide from Hideo to Ali when Ali was trying to get some air and to get away from Itami, Itami picked up the victory with the running knee.

My Honest Opinion WWE production video should be able to be nominated for Emmy’s because they are the best things going in television because the packages are so well planned out and the production value is spot on with the right amount of cutscenes with action scenes. Then you also had the takeover hype package which broke down the current card for take over. I am hyped for this show, this show is going to rival UFC 201 this weekend and i know people are going to be trying to watch both.

Then you had William Regal talking about the takeover card when he was interrupted by Billie Kay, who was saying that she wasn’t on the card and Regal was like oh you are absolutely right, how about you face off with the debuting Ember Moon.

Main Event Match of the Night, Carmella, Nikki Glencross (Nikki Storm), and Liv Morgan taking on the team on Alexa Bliss and Team Dandy which is the team of Mandy Rose and Daria Barrinado. This match was a showcase for the new crop of woman that are brought up to the show roster of NXT with the departures of Nia Jax, Eva Marie, Carmella, and Alexa Bliss to the main roster. Carmella ended up getting the victory for her team with her submission the code of silence on Mandy Rose.

Then you have the interview to hype up the main event of takeover which is Shinsuke Nakamura vs Samoa Joe for the NXT championship, this match didn’t need the interview in my opinion because they have built this match up so much by not taking a lot that this interview was more of an over hyping of the match in my perspective because this is a dream match to some that people they weren’t going to see under the wwe banner.

Want to talk more wrestling with me, you can follow me on twitter @WarriorMW23 and @KtreyShow, you can also listen to the K-Trey Show on ChicagolandSportsRadio.com where we talk about wrestling its on Monday from 7-9 PM Central time.

Evolution of Punk Episode One Review

What i have learned from this episode that punk journey from the wrestling ring to the octagon is going to be a hard transition for him. His wife is scared of his face getting bruised up but she is supporting him during his transition. CM Punk trains with Showtime Anthony Pettis. Punk tells his live story with his upbringing with his parents and their addictions. He is happy to hear when fans are being straight edge because they were inspired by him.

I Admire Phil “CM Punk” Brooks determination in becoming a UFC star because it helps people that want to follow their dreams that they can pursue them because he is doing what he has wanted to do since he was already a pro wrestler.

I love to see the rest of this documentary that fox sports is doing leading up to Punk's first UFC fight at UFC 203 as he is facing Mickey Gall.

So are you hyped for this fight or do you not care let me know on twitter @WarriorMW23
