Henry's Universe Mode #199: Summerslam(Part 3)

Welcome to the third and final part of Summerslam. In the final two matches in Henry's Universe Mode history, Samoa Joe faces The Undertaker and AJ Styles battles Cesaro and John Cena.






Samoa Joe(c) vs The Undertaker- Universal Championship Match

These powerhouses, giants of the industry squared off in our semi main event, and put on a match for the ages. From the beginning, you could tell that this was something more than any championship match. This was a passing of the torch, if you will, as Samoa Joe proved time and time again he could hang with The Undertaker. The Phenom pulled everything out of the playbook, including a suicide dive and a brutal DDT to the apron, but he could never keep Joe down. A Tombstone couldn't put the match away, and a second followed by the Hell's Gate submission hold wasn't enough either. The Samoan Submission Machine simply refused to lose, and even with blood pouring down his face, was not going to give up. Samoa Joe was simply unstoppable on this night, and even when The Undertaker escaped the Coquina Clutch, he managed to lock in the hold again. Finally, the Deadman was out, and Samoa Joe scored perhaps the biggest win of his career.

Winner and still Universal Champion: Samoa Joe


AJ Styles(c) vs Cesaro vs John Cena- WWE Championship Match

Three of the very best collided in Summerslam's main event, and they were all on peak form in this contest. They all brought something to the table, with AJ's impressive physical ability, Cesaro's incredible strength and John Cena's undying tenacity. The WWE Champion would take control early, using mind games to school both of his challengers. Quickly, Cena and Cesaro teamed up, taking out Styles to give each other a chance. They then picked up where they left on SmackDown a few weeks ago, but it would be short-lived, as AJ re-entered the fray. All three men then traded a series of near falls, each one closer to the last as big moves failed time and again. In an act of defiance, AJ elected to bring in as many weapons as possible, trying to use them as equalizers. This plan would backfire, as he would be laid out with said weapons, leaving just Cena and Cesaro in the ring once more. The Swiss Superman, looking for another win in Summerslam's main event, unloaded on John Cena with every power move in the book, but even a Neutralizer wouldn't be enough. The Face That Runs the Place, desperate for his first world championship in Henry's Universe Mode, was just a little too much for even Cesaro to handle. Two Attitude Adjustments, including one from the top rope, were enough to put the King of Swing down, as Styles was just too late to break up the pin. A new WWE Champion was crowned as Summerslam came to an end.

Winner and the NEW WWE Champion: John Cena


No words can truly explain how grateful I am for everything Henry's Universe Mode has become. It's safe to say I never predicted how big of a deal this series would be, and I owe it all to every single person that has read one of these posts. I started this series in January 2016, and a year and a half later, it has come to an end. I'm excited for what the future holds, and I think everyone that enjoyed Henry's Universe Mode will love what I have planned. I've grown so much as a blogger of the course of writing these posts, and it's meant the world to me that I've had readers throughout. For the final time, I thank you for reading this edition of Henry's Universe Mode. I'll see you next time, when the revolution begins.

American Dad "Twinanigans" Review

It's been a while since the last Steve and Roger episode, and this week reminded me why that's such a classic American Dad pairing. This is a genuinely fun episode, filled with some great one liners and even a great callback to the show's past. "Twinanigans" centers around the heretofore unmentioned acting careers of Roger and Steve, who twinned it up as the Smith Brothers. I'm not going to question whether this backstory actually makes sense to the overall timeline; no one watches American Dad for continuity. Steve had to give up acting to attend kindergarten, and wants to give Roger a second chance at greatness. The two head to auditions, where Steve impresses and Roger blows it. It's here the episode kinda misfires, as it's never made abundantly clear why Roger struggles so much at acting. Is he just trying too hard, does he have some form of stage fright, does he not even know what acting is? This part of the story is just never explained, w...

Henry's Pay-Per-View Reviews: ECW Heatwave 1998

As the world collectively loses it's mind over the coronavirus(this could be a fun intro to look back on in the future), the only sanity that can be found is in the ring. Let's take a look today at what is often considered ECW's finest outing, Heatwave '98. - Jokes aside, everyone should stay safe out there. I know it's easy to panic about these mass outbreaks, and I've certainly felt very nervous about everything I've heard and read over the past week. But I think we all need some fun in our lives right now, and this show is the epitome of distraction. - The opening contest is one of the highlights of the night, as Jerry Lynn takes on Justin Credible. Credible has an entire entourage in his corner, including Chastity, Jason and Nicole Bass, and their involvement in this match at times bordered on excessive. But the match begins to hit it's peak when Lynn puts Credible through a table with a hurricanrana, and it's all fantastic from...

Henry's Universe Mode #205: SmackDown Live

Over the weekend, big news was broken by SmackDown GM Daniel Bryan, as he announced two title rematches for No Mercy. First up, Kenny Omega will defend his Intercontinental Championship against Randy Orton, and in the second, John Cena will look to make his first defense as WWE Champion against AJ Styles. Tonight on SmackDown Live, it's another Summerslam rematch in the main event, as Alexa Bliss defends against Emma. Can the Australian Sensation punch her ticket to No Mercy? Plus, Heath Slater takes on Aiden English, and the Phenomenal One, AJ Styles, is in singles action. Universe Mode SmackDown Live September 12th, 2017 Location: Dallas, TX Heath Slater vs Aiden English This was a big chance for momentum for both of these two men, as Slater was kicked out of the Social Outcasts a few months ago, while English's tag team partner, Simon Gotch, was recently released. Both of these men showed a lot of potential, and got the crowd invested on a couple of nea...
