Henry's Universe Mode #146: SmackDown Live

After a match of the year candidate at WrestleMania, Cesaro has offered Roman Reigns a rematch tonight, which the Big Dog accepted. The Swiss Superman has even put his championship match on the line to prove that he is the absolute best. Tye Dillinger, the dangerous Nia Jax and more!

Tye Dillinger vs Curtis Axel

Tye went in search of his first win here in Universe Mode, as he faced Curtis Axel, who had the support of fellow stable mates Heath Slater and Bo Dallas. Despite this, the numbers game was always going to be in favor of the Perfect Ten, and a Tye Breaker put Axel to sleep.

After the match though, things weren't quite as perfect for Tye, as he was jumped by Slater and Dallas. Tye might've won the match, but the Social Outcasts left him laying.

Winner: Tye Dillinger


The Miz Promo

We were interrupted by The Miz, who seemed to be in a foul mood. He demanded a mic and went on a rant against SmackDown GM Daniel Bryan. For too long, The Miz has been overlooked and undervalued. He's a former Intercontinental Champion, but still he doesn't get the respect he deserves. It's time for The Miz to rise, it's time for the Awesome One to take over, regardless of whether Bryan likes it or not.


Dana Brooke vs Nia Jax

Emma accompanied her tag team partner to the ring, but Dana Brooke had little chance against Nia Jax. The Hybrid Athlete ran right through Brooke, and even Emma's interference did little to stop her. A big leg drop spelled the end for the Total Diva.

After the match, Alexa Bliss returned to a big ovation. The former SmackDown Women's Champion looked to get her some of Nia Jax, but even the element of surprise wasn't enough. Bliss was laid out as well, leaving Nia standing alone.

Winner: Nia Jax


Cesaro vs Roman Reigns

The Swiss Superman raised the stakes for this WrestleMania rematch when he put his championship opportunity on the line, and the tension in the arena could be cut with a knife. Both Cesaro and Roman Reigns know each other well after their first encounter, and they went right at it. Cesaro worked a slower pace, understanding that the younger man would feel the nerves of the occasion. Reigns, though, stayed calm, slowing his game down and looking for openings. One was created when he counted a suplex and followed up with a Superman Punch. A Spear was forthcoming, but Cesaro had it scouted, and countered into a Swiss Death. The Sharpshooter was locked in, but Reigns countered into a powerbomb. A stalemate was reached, and then broken with a Neutralizer from the King of Swing. Once more, the Big Dog showed his fortitude when he got the shoulder up at two. Cesaro looked nonplussed, and that was when all hell broke lose. Brock Lesnar charged the ring, just like last week, and laid waste to anyone and everyone. There was a F-5 waiting for both Cesaro and Reigns, and the Beast Incarnate stood tall once more.

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 ...
