 The Vaudevillians vs Cesaro and Roman Reigns

Daniel Bryan saw the makings of an excellent tag team in their battles against each other, and decided pit Cesaro and Roman Reigns against The Vaudevillians. The Swiss Superman and the Big Dog worked quite well, as they had mutual respect for each other, and ran right through Aiden English and Simon Gotch, Reigns putting English away with a Spear.

After the match, we received word of a challenge from the Machine Gun Karl Anderson. He stated that Cesaro and Roman had picked a fight with the wrong guys, and challenged them to a tag team match this Sunday at Backlash. Later in the show, the challenge was accepted.

Winners: Cesaro and Roman Reigns
Erick Rowan vs Big Cass

With Enzo Amore, Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper banned from ringside, this was a straight singles match between two powerhouses. Although Erick Rowan wasn't going down without a fight, Big Cass was on another level here tonight, and put things away with an East River Crossing, giving momentum to the challengers.

Winner: Big Cass


 Alexa Bliss and Nikki Bella vs Nia Jax and Charlotte

It was announced during the week that the Fearless One would receive a SmackDown Women's Championship match this Sunday, giving Nikki Bella plenty to fight for in this match. Alexa and Nikki worked well as a team, but neither was a match for an enraged Nia Jax. The Female Destroyer took out both women, working on a still-injured Bliss. In the end, the Queen picked up the pieces, locking Alexa in the Figure 8, and she had no choice but to tap out.

Winners: Nia Jax and Charlotte


Sami Zayn vs Randy Orton vs Brock Lesnar vs AJ Styles

This was pure chaos, as all four men looked for momentum heading into this Sunday. Although Zayn and Orton and Lesnar and Styles went at it at times, for the most part they all looked to get the win. All four had moments to shine, but it was the Beast Incarnate who was the most impressive, taking everyone in the building to Suplex City. The Viper struck with a RKO, but then had a fired up Zayn to deal with. The Underdog from the Underground laid out the Intercontinental Champion with a big Tornado DDT, but was then taken out himself with a Styles Clash. This left the WWE Champion alone in the ring with his challenger, but this was not the Phenomenal One's night, as Lesnar delivered a big F-5 to pin the champion just days before their championship collision.

Winner: Brock Lesnar

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...
