Henry's Universe Mode #115: Raw

I'm opening this post by clearing up a mistake: last week, I said that Elimination Chamber, the next pay-per-view would take place on February 19th. I meant the 12th, the same day as the real life Chamber pay-per-view, meaning we are just six days away.


Tonight is the final stop before Elimination Chamber. Who will join champion Goldberg, Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins to fight for the World Heavyweight Title? Also, Dean Ambrose addresses his assault on The Undertaker, the tag champs are in action and more!

Dean Ambrose Promo

The Lunatic Fringe opened this edition of Raw, addressing his actions last week. Ambrose went on a rant, blaming the fans for his failure at the Royal Rumble. If he hadn't been distracted by the fans, he would've won the whole thing and be headlining WrestleMania by now. Dean Ambrose is tired of being overlooked, tired of being second best. The Undertaker was just the first to feel his wrath, and he won't stop until he achieves every ambition, fulfills every dream. Dean Ambrose will be the World Heavyweight Champion, and if you don't like it, well then too f***ing bad.


Mark Henry vs Austin Aries- Elimination Chamber Qualification Match

Aries, who debuted in the Royal Rumble Match, got a big chance in his Raw debut, with the opportunity to earn an Elimination Chamber spot. Unfortunately, he was going up against Mark Henry, who had been near unstoppable as of late. Aries looked good early on, but committed a fatal error, trying to out wrestle Henry. One World's Strongest Slam later and Mark Henry became the fourth participant in the Elimination Chamber match.

Winner: Mark Henry


Title Match Set for Elimination Chamber

United States Champion Chris Jericho made a big announcement earlier today, when he set up a US Title Open Challenge for the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. Who will answer Jericho's challenge?


Itami and Balor vs Golden Truth

The tag champs may not have been at one hundred percent after last week's attack by The Club, but they were still good enough to take out Goldust with an assisted double foot stomp.

After the match, Balor and Itami took to the mics. They issued a challenge to The Club for a non-title match at Elimination Chamber this Sunday. Will Gallows and Anderson accept? I suppose we'll have to wait and see.

Winners: Itami and Balor


Big Tag Match for the Next Episode of Raw

On the next edition of Raw, we will see Raw Women's Champion Bayley team up with Nikki Bella to face Sasha Banks and Asuka. If Sasha's team wins, she will receive another shot at the title.


Samoa Joe Makes His Presence Felt

We were scheduled to hear from Samoa Joe, the winner of the 2017 Royal Rumble, about his thoughts on the Elimination Chamber event. Instead, we cut to backstage, where Joe was viciously attacking the World Heavyweight Champion, Goldberg. Joe beat the hell out of Goldberg, forcing officials to drag him away. With Goldberg being forced to defend his title in six days, the champion looks to be in serious jeopardy.


Rusev vs Bray Wyatt- Elimination Chamber Qualification Match

This match was absolutely not for the faint of heart, two vicious, nasty competitors beating the hell out of each other for another shot at the World Heavyweight Title. It didn't take long for the blood to get flowing, Rusev getting busted open at the hands of Bray Wyatt. Lana, realizing her husband was in trouble, got involved several times, saving Rusev after Wyatt hit two Sister Abigail's. Eventually, the official had enough of Lana's interference, and ejected the Ravishing Russian. With no hurdles in his way, Bray decimated Rusev with a third Sister Abigail for the three count.

After the match, the Wyatt Family struck their signature pose while Rusev was checked over by Raw's medical team, blood covering his face and chest.

Winner: Bray Wyatt


Kevin Owens vs John Cena- Elimination Chamber Qualification Match

These two met for the US Title back in October, and it was Kevin Owens who was victorious on that night. John Cena, runner up in the Royal Rumble just a few weeks ago, looked to flip the script and become the final man to enter the Elimination Chamber. Both men went back and forth off the start, and it was Owens that scored big early, hitting a Pop-Up Powerbomb that nearly put it away within minutes. Cena is nothing if not resilient, and he fought back with big strikes and caught Owens with an Attitude Adjustment. Cena only got a one count, though, and the Leader of the Cenation was stunned. It became clear that John Cena simply doesn't have what it take to beat Kevin Owens, with KO even fighting out of the STF. With nothing left, Cena ran right into a second Pop-Up Powerbomb and another loss to Kevin Owens.

Winner: Kevin Owens


Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins, Mark Henry, Bray Wyatt and Kevin Owens have all qualified for the World Heavyweight Title Elimination Chamber Match. Who will be next to qualify for SmackDown's Chamber Match? Tune it tomorrow to find out.

South Park "Not Funny" Review

Good night, amateur trolls that trolled a troll and trolled themselves into a troll, brothers. With one episode to go in the season, South Park has remained consistently funny and on-point with their humor, though I worry about how their going to wrap all of this up. There are a good six to seven ongoing storylines right now, and only one episode to finish off a few of them. There was no clear focus this week, but I'll start where the episode ended, with Gerald's troll-based storyline. It's pretty satisfying to see the Troll Hunter's massive revelation; that he is, in fact, just another troll, bent on world destruction. Even Gerald couldn't find the humor in his master plan, as the Troll Hunter is truly in a league of his own. With the world on the brink of war, the trolling has truly begun, as the Troll Hunter went to work on his own employees and the other trolls, though why they had to be naked for that is beyond me. Kyle is always a sucker for saving the ...
