Tonight, we celebrate darkness, despair and decay. Tonight, we honor the depravity of life, and of those that are willing to travel the path less taken. In a battle months in the making, Finn Balor embraces his dark side, as he looks to harness the power of his Demon to dethrone the unstoppable force that is Braun Strowman. Alexa Bliss must face a monster from her past, and in our main event, John Cena defends his spot atop SmackDown Live against the disturbed and motivated Bray Wyatt.

And now, Raw and SmackDown present..............Halloween Havoc!

Shinsuke Nakamura(c) vs Rusev- 2 Out of 3 Falls Match for the United States Championship

Shinsuke Nakamura opened this match with his impressive arsenal of strikes, kicking and elbowing the former champion. Rusev responded with power, including a uranage and a release side slam. Nakamura looked several times for a move off the top rope, but Rusev continued to thwart the champion, eventually getting a near fall with the Machka Kick. The Bulgarian Brute began to work toward the Accolade, but Shinsuke slipped out of the way, delivering his reverse exploder suplex. Off the top rope, diving knee to the face! And then the Kinshasa, which scored the first fall. After the rest period, Nakamura lost the advantage, Rusev raking the eyes. A second Machka Kick, Accolade applied! Shinsuke was one step ahead, quickly fighting to the ropes. An incensed Rusev tried to follow up, but was dumped to the floor. Nakamura followed, slamming Rusev face first off the steel steps. Back into the ring, and then a middle rope Kinshasa! The challenger was down and out, but Nakamura wanted to make sure. Backing up, a third Kinshasa! A decisive victory, winning two falls to none, and the champion proved that No Mercy was no fluke. 

Winner and still United States Champion: Shinsuke Nakamura


Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens(c) vs The Titanic Alliance- SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match

The newly named Titantic Alliance of Big Cass and Big Show gave the champions all they could handle in this title match. Early on, they focused all of their offense on Sami Zayn, wearing the smaller man down. The heart of Zayn is unquestioned, and neither a spear from Show nor a big boot from Cass could keep him down. Cass looked for the East River Crossing, but Sami fired up, making the tag to Kevin Owens. The champions worked perfectly in tandem, taking down their challengers with dual suicide dives. Zayn was tagged back in, and piked Cass with a Brainbuster, Owens following up with a frog splash for an impressive title defense. 

Winners and still SmackDown Tag Team Champions: Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens


Kenny Omega(c) vs Baron Corbin- Intercontinental Championship Match

Kenny Omega was essentially fighting two men here tonight, as Randy Orton did his best to hand Baron Corbin the championship. The Viper's distractions played a key role early, as he helped Corbin stay alive and get a near fall with the Deep Six. Corbin set up for the End of Days, but Omega countered. The Cleaner decided he'd had enough, taking out Orton with a Tope Con Hilo! That left Omega and Corbin in the ring, and eventually a 450 splash and the One Winged Angel put the match away. 

Winner and still Intercontinental Champion: Kenny Omega


The New Day vs The Revival- #1 Contender's Match for the Raw Tag Team Championships

If anyone was ever going to make a case for The Revival as one of the best teams in the world today, they would use the film from this match. This was elementary, effective tag team wrestling from Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson, taking any advantage available and bending the rules when necessary. Big E and Kofi Kingston did give the fans some hope, including a near fall off the Unicorn Stampede, but the ending was always inevitable. It was Kofi that would take the Shatter Machine, and now The Revival look ahead to The Shield at Survivor Series. 

Winners: The Revival

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...
