Wensday Night Wrestling Preview

This Week continues the second round of the CWC on the WWE Network where you have one half of DIY Johnny Gargano going up against TJ Perkins while Rich Swann will be going up against Lince Dorado. You have the modern day Dean Malenko in Zack Sabre Jr going up against Drew Gulak.

I am actually hyped to watch these matches because i want to see how their styles in the ring will mesh in their matches. Here are my predictions for this match up in this round of the CWC.

TJ Perkins will defeat Johnny Gargano, because if you have watched NXT and Takeover you know he is focusing on tag team wrestling. So him moving on in the tournament is pointless now that they are feuding with The Revival for the NXT tag team championships. TJ Perkins is someone that i have followed since he was in impact Wrestling as Manik, i have also watch the WWE vs TNA feud that happened through evolve wrestling where Johnny Gargano teamed up with Perkins too faced EC3 and Drew Galloway.

Zack Sabre Jr is going to defeat Drew Gulak, even thought i would like to see an upset here and have Drew moving on to the next round. But everyone is wanting a Kota Ibushi vs Zack Sabre Jr finals.

Rich Swann vs Lince Dorado, this is a toss up match for me because i love both of these guys in ring work while they are on the independent scene. Lince is a member of the Lucha World Order which also another wrestler that has been on NXT which is Mr.450 if you don’t know who that is google him.

Now on to NXT we are having the aftermath of Takeover Brooklyn 2 what going to happen between Hideo Itami and Austin Aries is No Way Jose still going to be involved in that some how. What about Robert Roode and Andrade Cien Almas, what is going to happen after their match could Andrade want more of the Glorious one or will the Glorious one have a Glorious celebration. What is instore for the tag team champions the Revival after their victory of DIY. will the Authors of Pain get involved now or will ™ 61 get into the title picture.

What is instore for the women’s champion asuka now that she has defended her championship against Bayley in Brooklyn, who is going to be the one that challenges for her championship next. Could it be Ember Moon who was stunning in her debut with that Corkscrew Moonsault stunner.

What do you think is going to happen between both shows tonight let me know on social media at @WarriorMW23 on twitter and MattWardCSR8723 Facebook page.

Smackdown Review

Smackdown is getting set up for their first brand exclusive network show called backlash. Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan announced new tag team and women's championships that will be crowned at Backlash.

In My opinion I actually like the new titles that smackdown has because they are a different colors of the versions that Monday Night Raw has currently. It looks like it is setting up for American Alpha to become the first tag team champions on Tuesday night Smackdown.

As for the women’s championship it looks like it could be on the waist of Nikki Bella, which i would be glad to see have it, but there's one women on that smackdown roster i think would benefit from a title reign and that is Natalya. Let Natalya be the one that is the first Smackdown women’s champion start feuds with the younger talent to help them get over with the crowd. For example of getting over with the fans Carmella turned heel by attacking Nikki Bella during an interview on Smackdown and then she attacked her during an interview on smack talk. That looks like a feud in the making to set up for the women’s division title tournament.

WWE is setting up a feud that will be money for backlash and that is a feud between the eater of worlds and the legend killer randy orton. I actually like this idea because this will give Bray Wyatt something on television sink his teeth into and will give Randy Orton something to go off his Brock Lesnar match at Summerslam that they actually used as starting point for this program.

AJ Styles defeated Dolph Ziggler to become the new number one contender to face Dean Ambrose for the WWE Championship at Backlash.

I am all for a AJ Styles vs Dean Ambrose program, but what are they going to do with Dolph, are they going to put him in the IC title picture which would be a step down. But their could be a way that Dolph can still be relevant and be in the picture, he cost AJ his shot at Dean Ambrose to where they make it a triple threat match for the championship I wouldn’t mind seeing the Miz hold two championships again by winning the tag team titles with Dolph Ziggler and they could be called the Awesome Showoffs.

The Miz and Daniel Bryan Smack Talk Segment Review

Last night on WWE Smack Talk The Miz went off in what people are saying is a shoot promo while some are doing a work shoot promo after what Daniel Bryan said about him being a cowardly wrestler which caused the Miz to snap on the show after the show aired The Miz’s wife Maryse took to twitter to press the issue saying Hero’s stand up for what they believe in and cowards walk away.

This is the best promo work the miz has done on WWE television weather or not this was scripted work shoot or this was real, by the look on his face it look like he was legit furious at Daniel Bryan. I hope WWE does run with this into a storyline where the Miz gets to prove that he is not a coward and a chance to prove Daniel bryan wrong. I remember when the Miz was on the show MTV Real World through his transition into Pro Wrestling through the show tough enough he has came along way from the man that he was on that show. Now he has been a WWE Champion, US Champion, Tag Team Champion on multiple occasions, and he is the current IC champion. So he is among the wrestlers that are in the Grand Slam Champion category in the history of the company, Ironically when Daniel Bryan first came into the company The Miz was his pro mentor on NXT when it was still a show about finding the next superstar not that glorious brand that it is today.

What are your thoughts on what happened between the miz and daniel bryan on smack talk.

Smackdown Preview

Daniel Bryan teased that their will be two Smackdown Exclusive Championship, People are wondering what titles are they going to be. Some are thinking the Women's and Tag Team Championships.

Here is what I would like to have happened instead. They need to have the women's championship be a dual brand championship as well as the tag team championships. I would like to see the WWE bring a TV title and European Championship to Smackdown Live instead of doing the same old tag team and women's championship like they have done in the past with the roster shakeups.

so what are your thoughts on this? let me know on twitter at @WarriorMW23 you can also find me Monday nights from 7-9 PM Central on the @KTreyShow on ChicagoLandSportsRadio.com 

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.
