Henry's Universe Mode #127: Fastlane(Part 2)

We are here for Part 2 of Fastlane, which of course features our huge elimination tag team main event to decide the main event of WrestleMania. Plus two title matches, featuring American Alpha and Bayley.






American Alpha(c) vs The Club- WWE Tag Team Title Match

This may have been the biggest challenge in the title reign of Chad Gable and Jason Jordan, as was showed early on, with the challengers in control. The Machine Gun Karl Anderson showcased some impressive moves, including a Rocket Kick, and The Club seemed to be cruising towards the tag team titles. The teamwork of Gable and Jordan proved to be their savior, as they fought from behind. Jason Jordan wore down Anderson with exceptional power, before hitting a Jordan Slam for another retention. However, controversy reigned after the bell, as it appears Karl Anderson got his foot to the bottom rope in time, but the official never noticed. A controversial win for American Alpha, but a win nonetheless.

Winners and still WWE Tag Team Champion: American Alpha
Bayley(c) vs Asuka- Raw Women's Title Match

This was a rematch from Survivor Series, where Bayley defeated Asuka to become the first Raw Women's Champion. History seemed destined to change early on, as it was all Asuka. The Empress of Tomorrow was on another level, as she picked apart the valiant champion. It was all Bayley could do just to hang around, kicking out of two big running hip attacks. With her last gasp, Bayley shocked everyone, catching Asuka with a Bayley-to-Belly. The challenger powered out at two, and shut down the rally. She locked in the Asuka Lock once more, and for the second time, Bayley was forced to tap out. Asuka avenged her previous loss, and became the new champion.

Winner and the NEW Raw Women's Champion: Asuka


 AJ Styles and Shawn Michaels vs Goldberg and Samoa Joe- Elimination Tag Team Match

There were some serious concerns about communication issues that could plague both teams, and we saw a lot of that throughout the match. Samoa Joe, desperate to prove he still had it after his loss to Mark Henry, spent most of the match in the ring, refusing to tag out. This worked against his team, as AJ Styles and Shawn Michaels made plenty of tags, keeping each other fresh. Goldberg finally reached his breaking point, and made a blind tag, before catching Shawn Michaels with a Spear and a Jackhammer for the first elimination. Although he and Joe had the numbers advantage, the Phenomenal One took control of the match from that point. Goldberg, knowing he was in trouble, tried to tag in Joe, but the Samoan Submission Machine hopped off the apron. A Styles Clash connected, and the WWE Champion pinned the World Heavyweight Champion. It was down to AJ Styles and Samoa Joe, winner earning his team the main event. Styles had just survived Goldberg, and just couldn't get anything going. Joe unleashed his pent-up frustration, knocking Styles out with an enziguri before locking in the Coquina Clutch, forcing the official to end the match.

Winners: Goldberg and Samoa Joe


Samoa Joe avenges his loss to Mark Henry by taking out WWE Champion AJ Styles to end the night standing tall. He will now challenge for the World Heavyweight Title in the main event of WrestleMania, but there is still just under a month until the Showcase of the Immortals. Tune in tomorrow for Raw for the fallout from this event.

Henry's Universe Mode #231: WrestleMania II (Part 3)

Finn Balor vs The Undertaker Finn Balor felt the full force of the strikes of The Undertaker in the early going, eating rights and lefts to the skull. The Undertaker continued to lay into Balor, dumping him to the floor with a clothesline, then following up with his vintage suicide dive! After a brief skirmish on the outside, the Deadman got destructive, grabbing the Demon's throat and driving him through the announce table with a chokeslam! It was here that The Undertaker allowed Finn Balor a chance to just give up and concede defeat, but Balor wasn't having any of it. Finn got his second wind, countering an attempted chokeslam to connect with a reverse DDT, then the shotgun dropkick in the corner. Up top, Finn connected with Coup de Grace! 1........................2.......................but it's going to take a lot more to put The Undertaker away, especially at WrestleMania. Balor laid in some shots, busting The Undertaker open, but that proved to be a huge mistake. ...

American Dad "Stompe Le Monde" Review

You know, I once tried to make it in musical theater. If only I had watched this episode beforehand, I would've known I needed a leather jacket to truly make it. Alas, those dreams are for a more pretentious soul than mine. "Stompe Le Monde" is a wild episode of American Dad, one that starts with Stan's previously unknown uncle dying and ends with wanton destruction of many Sonic Drive-Ins. It's a crazy a journey as it sounds, one that left me just struggling to keep up. The family to use the new inheritance to travel to New York City, but Stan quickly blows the money on the rights to Stomp, which is apparently a real musical. The whole town of Langley is very excited to see the new show, but Stan has no idea what he's doing, never once hiring a director or even rehearsing. Why this only came up literally minutes before opening is anyone's guess. The Smith Family is forced to go on the run, and are attacked by many ferocious coyotes off-screen. In ye...

American Dad "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" Review

American Dad as a show is definitely not afraid to get a little freaky, and nothing is more evident than the existence of Rogu, Roger's tumor that became a character himself in "Persona Assistant". Rogu primarily works as a character because he stays in the background, but this week, he takes a starring role in one of the weirdest American Dad episodes to date. "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" has little in the way of traditional plot structure, and can only barely be considered an episode at all. It's more a collection of funny and bizarre skits, with a few running plot points that end up forming some sort of resolution. Steve wants to become a babysitter, but Francine says he's not ready, so he needs to prove himself to her. He does that by taking care of Rogu, as Roger is off for a night of NSFW activities. Steve is instructed not to let Rogu have candy or screentime, but violates both rules almost immediately. It turns out that Rogu multiplies w...
