NEW ERA BEGINS NOW
Before I begin this week review I have to say WrestleMania
30 was very good in my opinion. Having Daniel Bryan finally winning the WWE
World Heavyweight Championship on the biggest stage of them all was a good
choice. The only downfall was Undertaker losing the streak (21-1) to Brock
Lesnar. Rumor has it that Undertaker decide before WrestleMania he was going to
call it quits and wanted Lesnar to end the streak. But really Lesnar comes on
he is the last person that should ended the streak. I have nothing against
Lesnar but it should have been either Shawn Michaels (WrestleMania 25 and 26),
Triple H (WrestleMania 27 and 28) or even CM Punk (WrestleMania 29). But can
probably call this now Hall of Fame 2015 will be headlined by The Undertaker.
We also shouldn't remember his career just for the streak but everything he did
in the business.
New Era begins tonight as Raw begins with a video package of
Daniel Bryan career path leading up to him winning the WWE World Heavyweight
Championship at WrestleMania. The new WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel
Bryan comes out to a big and I mean big ovation and does he deserve it. He
could hardly even talk because the crowd wouldn't let him. He begins by saying
its hard for him to do the YES chant because he is now holding two
championships. He stops talking and we hear the crowd chanting "you
deserve it." Bryan
says the fans deserve it more and the YES movement has the power of change.
Triple H and Stephanie McMahon comes out. Triple H says he is going to get into
the ring because he doesn't want to regret doing anything to Bryan yet. Bryan gets in his face and does the YES
chants with the two championships. Triple H says he is going to end this YES movement
for good and he will end Daniel Bryan reality because the main event would be
WWE Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H for WWE World Heavyweight
Championship.
They come back
from the commercial break and we see Triple H and Stephanie arguing about what
just happened with Daniel Bryan. Batista and Orton storm in and argue why they
deserve a championship match and why Triple H shouldn't be wrestling for it.
Triple H says its his show and his shot tonight. Stephanie says they all
deserve matches. She tells Orton and Batista they will fight the Tag Team
Champions The Usos for the titles. They refuse but Triple H says they can sort
it out later but historically the work better when they are on the same page.
Can we see a reunion of Evolution?
A big six man tag match was the first match of the night. It
was The Wyatt Family vs. John Cena, Sheamus and the Intercontinental Champion
Big E. After Cena comes out he rushes to the ring and they all start
brawling. Cena and Bray start out with
Cena pulling Bray out of the corner but Bray his a big uppercut and stomps
Cena. Sheamus and Rowan get into the ring and Sheamus hits a few punches and
Rowan goes to hit a backbreaker but Big E. stops it. Ending comes with Bray
hitting Big E. with Sister Abigail for the win. We see Cena sitting on the ramp
stunned and dazed. Look like the feud with Cena and the Wyatt family isn't
over.
Next
was the man who ended the Undertaker streak at WresleMania 30 Brock Lesnar and
Paul Heyman. Heyman begins by saying he is so proud to serve Lesnar who is the
one that ended a near quarter century long streak. Heyman tells everyone he
told them it was going happen and Lesnar isn't here to make people happy and
not to put smile on children faces. Heyman says after the match people where
chanting for The Undertaker and not Lesnar who won the match. He says
Undertaker had to go to the hospital after collapsing backstage and Vince
McMahon accompanied him to the hospital. He talks about the three time Lesnar
F-5 Undertaker and its a good thing he didn't kick out the last one otherwise
Lesnar would have broken Undertakers neck. He says Lesnar is the 1 in the 21-1
to end the segment. This was a very good promo and I honestly thought someone
was going to come out to interrupt them but nope.
The Tag Team
Championship match between The Usos (c) vs. Randy Orton and Batista was next.
This was a very quick match if you can call it a match. Batista stomps on Jey
and Orton helps. They throw him to the barricade and Batista sends Jimmy into
the steps. Orton hits Jey with a DDT. Referee counts the ten count for a double
count out but Batista and Orton wasn't done. The set up the steel steps and
Batista hits a Batista bomb on Jey onto the steps.
Next was Damien
Sandow vs. the returning RVD. RVD begins by kicking Sandow outside the ring and
he sets Sandown up on the barricade stomach first and hits a legdrop. He hits
rolling thunder then a five star frog splash for the win. What is next for RVD
and why didn't he come back?
The newest WWE
Hall of Famer The Ultimate Warrior comes out. He says it's been hard to find
the right words. He then puts on a Warrior mask and says its time for Ultimate
Warrior to talk and not Warrior. He says no WWE Superstar becomes a legend on
their own. He tells the fans they are the one who makes them legends. He says
the spirit of Ultimate Warrior lives on through all that fans and they will
live forever.
The Divas
Champion AJ Lee with Tamina comes out. AJ talks about successfully defending he
championship at WrestleMania. She calls herself Diva best in the world and we
hear CM Punk chants. She says she has given every diva a shot but they all
failed. Out of no where music plays and the NXT Women Champion Paige comes out.
Paige says she came out to congratulate AJ. AJ thanks her buts doesn't need it
and she should run away. AJ says she changed her mind and maybe she should just
beat her. Paige says she is ready and AJ slaps her. AJ says she wants a match
and she will even put her championship on the line to be nice.
AJ Lee (c) vs. Paige for the
Divas Championship. AJ begins by attacking Paige and
skipping around. She applies the black widow and looked like Paige was about to
tap out but she reverses it into the Paige Turner for the win and to become new
Divas Champion. Good way to have your first match on live TV by becoming Divas
Champion. Now the question is does she also hold onto the NXT Womens
championship or does she drop it on NXT we will find out this Thursday.
Hulk Hogan comes out to present Cesaro with the Andre the
Giant Memorial trophy. He puts over the show and talks about Cesaro picking up
the Big Show over his head and throwing him out and it reminded Hogan of him
lifting Andre the Giant over his head. Ceasro comes out with Zeb Colter and no
Jack Swagger. Hogan leaves and Colter takes the mic and says he is going to
talk about Cesaro. He calls Cesaro a Zeb Colter guy but Cesaro takes the mic
away and says he is a Zeb Colter guy but a PAUL HEYMAN GUY.
This sets up a match against the
former team Cesaro vs. Jack Swagger. Cesaro
punches Swagger and sends him into barricade. He goes to the top rope but
Swagger jumps up and takes him down with a throw. Swagger knees him a few times
and hits a slam. Ceasro comes back and goes for a swing but Swagger rolls out
of the ring and gets counted out.
Backstage we see
Stephanie McMahon trying to get Kane and The Shield on the same page so Daniel
Bryan doesn't win the match. Rollins mocks Kane and asks the Outlaws are and
Kane flips out. Kane says it was Triple H idea for The Shield being attacked a
few weeks ago on Smackdown. Stephanie starts to yell at him to stop. She says
she doesn't care about their issues because Triple H is the boss and he gets
what he wants and they all agree.
Daniel
Bryan comes out for his match against Triple H. Before Triple H can come out, Orton
and Batista come out and take Bryan
out. Orton hits the RKO and Batista hits the Batista Bomb. Kane comes out and
looks like he might stop them but he chockslams Bryan . Triple H finally comes out and tell
the referee if he wants to keep his job ring the bell and he does even through
at first he refuses but does. Triple H does the YES chants and goes to lift Bryan up and The Shield
comes out. Kane, Orton, and Batista go onto of the apron and now we have a
stare down between all six guys and Triple H in the middle. Triple H tells all
of them its not going to happen. Triple H turns around and Reigns spears him.
Batista and Orton get knocked off the apron by Ambrose and Rollins goes through
the middle rope and splashes them. The Shield then surround Triple H and Bryan hits the running
Knee. Kane, Orton and Batista pull Triple H out of the ring. Bryan and The
Shield celebrate to end Raw this week.
It with sad news that the wrestling world found out that the
recently new WWE Hall of Famer The Ultimate Warrior has passed away. Everyone
is in shocked with this because he was just inducted into the Hall of Fame,
WrestleMania and even on Monday Night Raw. I recommend everyone to watch his
Hall of Fame speech and his promo on Raw. It seemed like he knew it was going
to happen. Thank you Ultimate Warrior for all the memories and your legend will
live on forever. RIP Ultimate Warrior.
Impact
Wrestling begins with a ten man over the top rope gauntlet match for the number
one contender for the TNA World Championship at TNA Sacrifice. This was like a
battle royal but two wrestlers begin and every two minutes another wrester
comes out. James Storm was first one to come out then Gunner. As Gunner was
coming out Storm came running at him. Gunner hits him a few times and they go
back in to the ring the punch each other. Magnus comes out to be on commentary
at one point. Booby Roode was entrant number three and he goes straight to
Gunner and attack them. Storm and Roode (Beer Money) team up and beat down
Gunner. Bully Ray is out next and goes after Roode. He clotheslines Roode and
Storm. ECIII comes out as entrant number five and he was looking behind him as
he was working out because Kurt Angle tweeted for ECIII to look out. ECIII
heatbutts Gunner and then goes to attack Bully but Bully ends up chopping him.
Sanada was entrant number six.
Bobby
Lashley is entrant number seven and when he comes out ECIII looks nervous. Then
Abyss comes out and Lashley and Abyss try to eliminate each out. Eric Young was
out next and still no one was eliminate yet and they still had on more entrant.
The last entrant was Willow .
After Willow
gets in a few hits Rockstar Spud comes out in the wheelchair. Willow gets thrown over the top but lands on
the apron. Spud get out of the wheelchair and pulls Willow
off the apron for the elimination then Willow
runs after Spud. Then Sanada gets thrown out then Lashley slams ECIII out and
Roode then throws Lashley out. Bully attacks Roode from the back and kicks him
in the face to eliminate Roode. Roode and ECIII team up after Roode got
eliminate to eliminate Bully Ray. Gunner
goes for the Gun Rack on ECIII but Storm hits the superkick to eliminate
Gunner. All that were left were EY, ECIII, Storm and Abyss. ECIII and the two
other heels go after EY and try to eliminate EY but he comes back before they
can. EY get thrown over but hold on with his legs hanging and headscissors
ECIII over the top.
EY
splashes Abyss and hits the elbow drop. Storm hits him with a DDT before trying
to go for a superkick. EY ducks and throws Storm out. So the last two are Abyss
and EY. Abyss hits shock treatment and chock slams. EY hits a dropkick and
clotheslines Abyss and they both go over but EY holds on and is the new number
one contender for the TNA World Championship at TNA Sacrifice. Good match and i'm
honestly shocked the EY won but a good choice.
After
the match EY goes on the mic and say he know he is a doctor but he did
something to his left arm. He calls MVP to come out because he has something to
ask him. MVP comes out and he tells MVP he doesn't want to wait till Sacrifice
to fight for the championship and he wants to fight for it tonight. MVP tells
Magnus who is still sitting at the commentary table that he isn't paying Magnus
to do color commentary. MVP announce that the main event will be Magnus (c) vs.
Eric Young for the TNA World Championship. Magnus goes crazy and gets in the
face of MVP. MVP also announces Abyss would be banned from ringside and if
anyone interfered they would be fired on the spot.
Dixie Carter arrives to the
Impact Zone and goes into a room Spud had all decorated. Dixie
wasn't happy and tells him she doesn't have the time for this. Dixie tells him that he turned on her because he is
working for MVP. Spud tries to explain to her but she walks out. We hear a
knock at the door and Spud opened it thinking it was her but nope it was Willow
Next was a number
one contender for the Knockout Championship. It was Gail Kim vs. ODB vs. Brittany Brittany Brittany Brittany
Backstage Dixie
Carter and MVP bumped into each other. Dixie
says this is her building and she is TNA President. MVP tells her he would kick
her out. Dixie tells him he didn't earn
anything and she was here to call out an unhappy wrestler that caused her
operation at wrestling and she was going to deal with him. Also she told MVP he
should join her ringside to see what happens and then she would deal with MVP
next.
Dixie
Carter comes out to a mix reaction. She called out Bully Ray who comes out to a
decent ovation. We here the crowd now chanting "we don't like her."
Bully Ray points this out to her. She then points out he was outsmarted by
Bobby Roode a few weeks ago in her office. She also reminded everyone the last
week Roode put Bully through not one table, not two but three tables. Bully
responds by saying he is still standing. Dixie
asked him why he double crossed her since she paid him a big sum of money.
Bully told her she needed to remember the saying "Don't Trust
Anyone." He tells her all the money she gave him he spent. She slapped the
mic out of his hands and told him he should know who she is. She then slaps him
in the face. Bully gets all pissed and gets in her face. Roode comes out and
attacks Bully. Dixie tells Roode to get the
table and he sets it up. Bully comes back and punches him a few times and tries
to powerbomb him but Roode escapes. Dixie is
still in the ring and Bully turns his attention to her and she begs him not to
do anything as they go to a commercial break. This was a weird way for them to
end the segment.
Back
from commercial break and we saw Dixie in the
back and Magnus comes up to her. He asks her why she didn't come to see him
when she arrived. She tells him she was only her for business and she is going
home. She told him her plans are no concerned to him since he was telling
people he doesn't need her. Magnus asked her what was this really all about and
she went crazy on him and tells him he says he never needed her so he would be
all a lone for the main event and leaves.
Main event for
the TNA World Heavyweight Championship was next which was Magnus (c) vs. Eric
Young. Magnus begins by taunting EY but EY ends up drop kicking him. EY goes to
hit a moonsault but Magnus moves and his a running knee. This made EY to
hitting the floor and Magnus went for the injured arm. Magnus puts EY in a
sleeper hold which he transforms into
the camel clutch but EY reverses it into a n electric chair drop. Mangus comes
back and hits the Mag Daddy Drive
This was a good
twist because no one expect EY to with the championship. But I do have to say I
hope TNA didn't do this to compare themselves to WWE since Daniel Bryan winning
the WWE World Heavyweight Championship this past Sunday at WrestleMania. Both
guys are crowd favorites and both were storied lined with two match in the same
night and injured arm.
Before Friday
Night Smackdown begins we see an In Memory of Warrior. We here Michael Cole say
that this Monday on Raw it would be a tribute show for The Ultimate Warrior.
John Cena comes
out to start Smackdown this week. He talks about all the events that happened
this week especially during WrestleMania. He even talks about the fans
rewriting his theme music during his match with Bray Wyatt. He says he is the
measuring stick and everyone has to go through him to do it. The Wyatt Family
cuts him off on the screen. Harper says Cena had gave them more time to hurt
him and everyone should embrace Bray gift. Bray says he doesn't feel any pain
since he is different and even through he lost to Cena he can't stop smiling.
Bray says he say something in Cena's
eyes and Cena needs a final push and Bray will do anything even going extreme
ways to do it. So we all can say that this feud is going to be happening till
Extreme Rules.
Big
Show vs. Cesaro with Paul Heyman was the first match of the show. Cesaro was
introduced by Heyman and he came out to no music. Show started by tackling
Cesaro and hits a shoulder block. Cesaro goes to the outside and Heyman is on
commentary and we hear Heyman tell Cesaro to get back in there and gives him
advice. He goes back in Cesaro applies a sleeperhold but Show slams him in the
corner and went for a splash. Cesaro goes for a swing but Swagger comes out and
attacks Cesaro for a DQ. Show throws Swagger outside. He tells Swagger he
didn't need his help and Cesaro hits an uppercut from behind and then another
uppercut off the ropes. He then hits the Neturalizer before leaving with
Heyman. The crowd was confuse and not sure if they should cheer for Cesaro.
A
rematch from this past Monday of the returning RVD vs. Damien Sandow. RVD hits
a few strikes and then rolling thunder. He then dropkicks Sandow outside and he
goes for a moonsault but Sandow moved and hit RVD. He throws RVD into the
barricade then throws him back into the ring. Sandow went for suplex but RVD
shoved him and hit the Five Star Frog Splash for the win. I don't remember the
last time Sandow won a match.
WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan
comes out to a big ovation and he introduces the new WWE World Heavyweight
Champion Daniel Bryan (Hogan was doing the YES chant) who also comes out to a
big ovation. Bryan said that this week was the greatest of his life between
getting married this week, winning WWE World Heavyweight Championship and his
dream came true just standing in the same ring with Hulk Hogan. He talks about
all of Hogan accomplishments and he tells them to play Hogan music and they do
Hogan pose. The WWE Universe went crazy during this whole thing.
The next match was Bad News Barrett vs. Kofi
Kingston. Barrett calls for decorum so he could give some bad news but Kingston Kingston
into the corner but Kingston Kingston
The
main event of WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan and the Tag Team
Champions The Usos vs. Kane, Randy Orton and Batista was next. Jimmy starts out
by chopping Batista and kicks him. Batista comes back with a spinebuster. He
tags Orton in and he kicks Jimmy in the injured ribs. Kane gets tagged in the
hits Jimmy in the corner. Jimmy tags in Jey but quickly Orton puts him in a
waistlock then dropkicks him. Kane slams him head first onto the mat. The heels
controlled most of the match. Jey finally makes a tag to Bryan . Bryan
send Kane to the outside and hits a suicide dive. Orton and Batista go after
him but The Usos both his suicide dives on them. The referee called for the
bell so there was no winner.
After
the match Kane throws Bryan
into the barricade then Batista and Orton attack the Usos. Orotn hits a RKO
onto Jey while Kane takes a part the announce table. Batista hits the Batista
bomb on Jimmy. They were about to put Bryan
through the table but The Shield comes out for the save and attack Kane. Orton
and Batista walk out on Kane and start to walk up the ramp. Bryan kits the running knee and he tell The
Shield to hit the triple powerbomb and
they do. Bryan and the Shield have a stare down
with Orton and Batista as Bryan
does the YES chant to end Smackdown.
Remember this Monday is a special Raw. It will a special
tribute for the late WWE Hall of Famer The Ultimate Warrior.
