I'm BACCCKKKKK friends! And it feels pretty dang good. We are 4 weeks away from Mania.. and things are heating up. We've got a lot to talk about, friends.. so let's get into it!
-Kicking off Smackdown
Oh, Randal. We got Randy Orton coming to the ring, to the most beautiful singing of his theme music. Seriously, that NEVER gets old. We got a little promo, and of course that didn't last very long before Kevin Owens made himself known. In a strange turn of events, KO said that he and Randy should go after the tag titles at Mania.. but after everything that has happened over the following months, Randy said OH HELL NAW! Looks like we are getting KO and Randy at Mania after all and I am HERE FOR IT!
-Drew McIntyre and Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Jimmy Uso and Damian Priest
The only "good" reason for this match seemed to be because of Damian and Drew.. we all know that the match is set for Mania, and they just keep going back and forth. Regardless, it was an okay match overall.. other than seeming to be a bit random. We did see Jimmy/Damian pick up the win.. with Drew beating down Damian after the match.
-Braun Strowman vs. Jacob Fatu
I don't care, I love these two together. Don't only do they work so well together, they both just have it. Jacob's rise to this has been wonderful and I am loving the story between Solo/Jacob. However, things are getting even hotter.. Solo/Tama ended up causing a DQ resulting in Braun picking up the win.. allowing him to get a match with LA Knight next week in London for the US title.
-Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton
Not thrilled. I wanted this to be good, but it was very sloppy... I am so torn with this match to be honest. Tiffy should keep the title.. 110%. It doesn't make any type of sense for Char to come in after being injured, win the Rumble RIGHT AWAY.. and then get the title. That just leaves a very sour taste in my mouth for some reason. And I would say that about anyone.. in any wrestling company. I said the same about Mone in AEW as well. Tiffy doesn't deserve to go all that time with the MIB only to lose a few months later. And the comment Char made about winning with the MIB like it was a bad thing is very tasteless. Like what? Tiffy can for sure use the same situation with Char with winning the Rumble. Same same.
-Zelina Vega vs. Piper Niven
No. 100% NO.. why tho? I didn't like this match, nor did I care for it. I love Chelsea Green, but it seems there isn't a competitor for her unless they go through Piper, which is silly. Please for the love of God don't let this go stale.. because that is exactly where it's going. Zelina deserved to win this.
-Liv Morgan vs. Jade Cargill
Yes but no. I enjoyed it for the most part.. but still have my issues with the overall match. I think that it wasn't a good call to have a dirty ending. But I can also see where it would be in the storyline of all things. Naomi did show up and hit Jade with one of the titles.. resulting in a loss. Are we going to see Jade/Naomi at Mania? Most likely.. but I still think there is more to it? Could we find out at Monday Night Raw that Bianca is involved? We very well could..
-Los Garzas vs. Street Profits
We saw The Street Profits come out (to new music) and give a little promo on their win. However that was short lived due to Los Garzas coming out and this led to a non-title match. I enjoyed this match overall.. I love that we are seeing more of a good time.. fun and serious tag team division. It's been very refreshing! Both teams did wonderful overall! And of course.. Street Profits picked up the win. Taking a break from DQ and iffy endings I see? Looks like we could see just that coming up next week during Pretty Deadly vs Street Profits in London.. it is a title match btw. I still 125% think we are getting a ladder OR TLC tag match for the titles at Mania. With that many teams who are wanting a chance.. this is THE perfect opportunity to do just that!
**Backstage we see Pretty Deadly talking to DIY.. trying to get in good graces, but that didn't last long. And of course.. Motor City Machine Guns didn't forget about what DIY did to them back in December. Could we see a match between them as well? Either tag or singles? I just really hope they don't give them their own match at Mania instead of going for the titles.
-Roman YTC/Seth Rollins/CM Punk
I won't go into full detail, because honestly.. there was go much going on at once. While all three men exchanged words, we did get a little tease of Paul Heyman turning on Roman with CM Punk.. I think that might be the RIGHT call. Compared to what was to come.. there wasn't much talking. The three men had enough and we at it to end the show. It seems we will be getting a triple threat at Mania. Could we see Paul cost Roman at that time? Most likely for sure. In the end, that match is going to be INSANE.
Overall: 8.4/10
====================================================
WYATT SICKS NEW:
Okay... I've been all over Twitter this week losing my mind because people have NO common sense. Alexa Bliss is NOT injured, nor is there any bad blood with WWE. Taylor has been cleared VERY recently. Let me break this down for you... He was injured. Meaning.. this wasn't planned. When someone is injured.. they don't stop for you, things HAVE to keep going. So now that he is cleared, they have to work him back in the mix. It's not as easy as it may seem. WWE doesn't work for you, and it's not up to you when they come back. It's been reported that The Wyatt Sicks will be coming back when the time is right, and most likely that will be right before or right after Mania. Not to mention.. they are traveling OUT of the US right now. They aren't going to come back while on tour.
**IF YOU ARE A WYATT SICKS FAN.... Stop posting this bullshit news, like you know what is happening. Stop telling people "TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT THEY RETURN".. you are spreading false information, you are getting people up in the air, and you are getting peoples hopes up for nothing. Are you a fan? Or are you trying to hurt the Wyatt Sicks? Because... hmm... I'm NoT wAtChInG BeCaUsE tHeY aRe BeInG dIsRePeCtFuL tO bRaY ... just stop... use common sense.
I'm sorry.. that has been on my chest for a moment now.. LOL
-UP NEXT: Monday Night Raw
-Will we see Rhea Ripley join Iyo and Bianca at Mania?
-Who will Jey Uso face this week?
-Will The Judgement Day completely break up after last weeks mix up?
