Henry's Universe Mode: Armageddon Preview

2017 was a big year for Henry's Universe Mode, and as we move forward into 2018, we have one final stop to make. Here is the card for Armageddon, the final pay-per-view of the year.






Armageddon Card


Nia Jax(c) vs Bayley- SmackDown Women's Championship Match

On the SmackDown Live before Survivor Series, Nia Jax once again defeated Alexa Bliss in Bliss' rematch clause, winning again in mere minutes. Jax is eager to take full control of SmackDown's women's division, and demanded more competition. She'll get it in the form of the Triple Crown champion, Bayley, who has the fans on her side as she looks to add another championship to her collection.


 Shinsuke Nakamura(c) vs Dolph Ziggler- United States Championship Match

Tensions between Shinsuke Nakamura and Dolph Ziggler escalated at Survivor Series, and have continued in the weeks following. On an episode of Raw a few weeks ago, the two men interrupted an address from Shane McMahon, leading to a furious Shane booking this match, hoping that they will be able to settle their issues in the ring.


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

The Usos have been chasing the SmackDown tag titles for months, but have yet to earn a championship match. They decided to take matters into their own hands, attacking Sami Zayn backstage, and although the champions realized they were being played, a furious Kevin Owens demanded the match be signed off on anyway.


Chris Jericho vs Kurt Angle

After leading Team Raw to victory at Survivor Series, Kurt Angle was given a number one contendership match at Armageddon, with the winner challenging for the Universal Championship in the future. His opponent was revealed to be Chris Jericho, as these two legends will meet for the first time in Universe Mode history.


Tyler Breeze(c) vs Cesaro- WWE Championship Match

In one of the biggest moments of the year, Tyler Breeze once again shocked the world, winning the WWE Championship at Survivor Series thanks to Drew McIntyre. On SmackDown, they revealed that they had been scheming for months, with both men earning their manager's license, meaning they can be at ringside for any match. Cesaro is determined to do justice for the blue brand, and end this devious duo before they can take full control.


The Club vs The Elite

AJ Styles' loss at Survivor Series sent him over the edge, as he, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows would unleash a brutal beatdown on Kenny Omega. To the rescue were the debuting Matt and Nick Jackson, who teamed with Omega in Japan, in a group known as The Elite. For the first time, this trio will wrestle together at Armageddon, as they face The Club in a match with high stakes. Should The Club win, AJ will become the new Intercontinental Champion. If The Elite win, then Styles will be fired from SmackDown Live.


Finn Balor(c) vs Braun Strowman- Hell in a Cell Match for the Universal Championship

Since Extreme Rules, Finn Balor and Braun Strowman have been involved in one of the most personal feuds in Universe Mode. Balor may have escaped Survivor Series with his championship, but he didn't pin Strowman, and the Monster Among Men still has his eyes on revenge. In a tense ending to Raw two weeks ago, Shane McMahon, with a massive security force in tow, called both men to the ring. After such a heated rivalry, he wanted to see a true conclusion, one final match between Balor and Strowman. It will take place in Armageddon's main event, and it will be inside the Devil's Favorite Playground, the demonic structure known as Hell in a Cell.

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...
