 The Revival vs ???

Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder were looking to prove that they are still the "Top Guys" on Raw by issuing this open challenge. They might reconsider issuing open challenges, as they were answered by the returning Hardy Boyz! Jeff and Matt Hardy returned to Universe Mode in a big way, with the Charismatic Enigma connecting on a Swanton Bomb to put Dash Wilder away.

Winners: The Hardy Boyz


 Chris Jericho vs Sheamus

Fresh off another successful title retention at Payback, United States Champion Chris Jericho went one on one with Sheamus. Y2J got off to a fast start, before Kevin Owens appeared once more. Owens seems to be obsessed with Jericho, and although he wasn't victorious last night, he made a big impact here. The Celtic Warrior took advantage of the distraction to connect with a Brogue Kick, and just like that, pinned the champion.

Winner: Sheamus


 Austin Aries vs Kalisto

Austin Aries is one of the fastest rising stars on Raw, but Kalisto is no slouch, and this was a highly competitive match-up. Aries came close to putting things away multiple times, but couldn't get the job done. Kalisto then looked for the Salina del Sol, which might've been it, but Double A countered beautifully into a brainbuster to pick up another win.

Winner: Austin Aries


 From the desk of Shane O'Mac

Next week, Raw GM Shane McMahon will be on Monday Night Raw to address the Universal Championship match at Payback, and the futures of Samoa Joe and Seth Rollins.


Braun Strowman vs Dolph Ziggler

Although the Show-Off had plenty of heart, he simply just didn't have what it took to compete with Braun Strowman. The Monster Among Men was as destructive as ever, delivering three huge powerslams to Dolph, including one on the floor. Ziggler, battered and broken, was out cold, as Strowman made a statement.

Afterwards, even that level of pain wasn't enough for Braun. He busted open Ziggler with right hands, before putting him through the announce table with a huge chokeslam. Someone needed to put a stop to this man, and that's when Finn Balor's music hit. Balor rushed Strowman, and had him on the ropes for a second. Ultimately, Balor was just another victim, and he ate a big powerslam, as Strowman continued to wreak havoc.

Winner: Braun Strowman

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...
