Henry's Universe Mode: WrestleMania Preview

Hello, I'm your host Henry Keys, and with just days until WrestleMania, I am here today to breakdown and preview the card for this massive event. Let's get into it.


WrestleMania Card:

Roman Reigns vs Cesaro- Brand Warfare Match

The opening match of WrestleMania will see Raw's Roman Reigns taking on SmackDown's Cesaro. The winning brand's representative will receive a world title match at any time of their choosing, and the winning brand will receive the first overall pick in the first ever WWE Draft. Cesaro has made it clear that he is fighting for SmackDown, his home, while Reigns is all business.


Itami and Balor(c) vs The Wyatt Family vs #DIY- Elimination Match for the World Tag Team Titles

Three of Raw's premier teams will face off in this elimination triple threat match. Both Hideo and Finn have taken a lot of punishment this week, so the stage may be set to crown new champions. By the way, the way this match will work is The Wyatts will face #DIY first, with the winners facing Itami and Balor and the losers being eliminated.


Shinsuke Nakamura vs Tyler Breeze

This Clash of Kings pits the King of Strong Style, Shinsuke Nakamura, against the King of Cuteville, Tyler Breeze. Nakamura seemed to get into Breeze's head on SmackDown, but does Prince Pretty have some tricks up his sleeve?


Asuka(c) vs Sasha Banks- Raw Women's Title Match

The Empress of Tomorrow will look to make the first defense of her reign in the main event of Part 1, as she faces Sasha Banks. The Legit Boss outright stole the title a few weeks ago on Raw, but paid for it after a brutal reprisal from Asuka.


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

These two rival teams will collide once more at WrestleMania, but the stakes were raised when Daniel Bryan announced this past week that the losers of this match cannot challenge for the tag titles for a whole year. Gable and Jordan have been dominant, but Dash and Dawson have had their number in the past.


Chris Jericho(c) vs John Cena- United States Title Match

The Face That Runs the Place answered Chris Jericho's US Open Challenge on Raw, and goaded Y2J into accepting this big WrestleMania match. Jericho stole a win over Cena on Raw, so the leader of the Cenation will be looking for a little payback.


Alexa Bliss(c) vs Charlotte- SmackDown Women's Title Match

SmackDown pushed the boundaries of women's wrestling a few weeks ago, when they hosted a one night tournament to crown a number one contender. Charlotte won two matches on that night, and may well be considered the favorite as she faces beloved champion Alexa Bliss.


Dean Ambrose vs The Undertaker- Hell in a Cell

Hell awaits the Lunatic Fringe, who's controversial actions over the past few months have turned most fans against him. Ambrose has shown no fear of the Deadman, but he may not yet understand the depths that The Undertaker will sink to for revenge...


Randy Orton(c) vs Tyson Kidd vs Braun Strowman- Intercontinental Title Match

From what we saw on SmackDown, this may turn into a handicap match, as Orton and Strowman seem to still be allies. However, even the best of friends have been torn apart by championships in the past.


Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn- Last Man Standing Match

These two bitter rivals have had many wars in the past, and now gear up for one more. Kevin made the challenge, but Sami upped the ante by making this a Last Man Standing match. This grudge match will likely steal the show, but will either man be able to walk out of WrestleMania?


AJ Styles(c) vs Shawn Michaels- WWE Title Match

This dream match became a reality when HBK became number one contender at Elimination Chamber. Despite a cordial relationship in the past, this rivalry has quickly become a blood feud. AJ Styles and Shawn Michaels have crossed the line several times, with Michaels delivering an earth-shattering elbow drop this past Tuesday. One has to wonder if these two men can put their differences aside to entertain the fans, or will this be an all-out brawl?


Goldberg(c) vs Samoa Joe- World Heavyweight Title Match

The main event of WrestleMania will see the Myth meet the Destroyer, as Goldberg faces Samoa Joe. There has been plenty of physicality between both men, and with Shane McMahon added a No Holds Barred Stipulation, there will be plenty at WrestleMania. Since his Universe Mode debut at Survivor Series, Goldberg has only lost twice in televised matches. He is as close to an unstoppable force as anyone could be. He will go up against Universe Mode's most dangerous man, the 2017 Royal Rumble winner Samoa Joe. Joe has a chip on his shoulder and plenty to prove, and this should be a classic.


Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope you've enjoyed my rundown of the card for WrestleMania. Be sure to tune in Saturday and Sunday to check out all three parts. Take card.

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...
