Henry's Universe Mode: NXT Takeover: San Antonio Preview

San Antonio is the location for the next NXT Takeover show, and it's a very interesting one, as new champion Apollo Crews looks to make his first NXT Championship defense. This is the card for NXT Takeover: San Antonio.






NXT Takeover: San Antonio Card


The Undisputed Era(c) vs TM-61- NXT Tag Team Championship Match

It was perhaps one of the biggest upsets the NXT brand had ever seen, as in their first match as champions, the Undisputed Era lost to Nick Miller and Shane Thorne, TM-61. This shocking result was mostly thanks to the Authors of Pain, looking to settle the score from Toronto. A few weeks later, Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly defeated Akam and Rezar to retain their titles, and now look to avenge their previous humiliation.


Neville(c) vs Akira Tozawa vs Gran Metalik- Cruiserweight Championship Match

The dominant Neville has not one but two challengers standing in his path, as both Tozawa and Metalik set their sights on the Cruiserweight belt. Can the King of the Cruiserweights survive perhaps his toughest challenge yet?


Nikki Cross(c) vs Carmella- NXT Women's Championship Match

Carmella has had a rough time since arriving in NXT, losing match after match. After another loss in just three minutes to the champion, she finally snapped, attacking Nikki Cross with a steel chair and taking her out of action. Carmella's newfound attitude has led to wins, as she defeated Natalya and Ember Moon to earn this championship match. But the Princess of Staten Island may have bit off more than she can chew, because Nikki Cross seems totally deranged in her quest for revenge, and she may do serious damage to Carmella when they meet in San Antonio.


Lars Sullivan vs Mojo Rawley

The Freak that is Lars Sullivan has been set loose on the NXT roster. With his incredible combination of unrelenting power and superior intelligence, Sullivan dismantled Kassius Ohno and Zack Ryder. Mojo Rawley will step up to the challenge, but you have to feel that the destructive path of Lars Sullivan has just begun.


Apollo Crews(c) vs Cedric Alexander- NXT Championship Match

This match was confirmed in Toronto, as both of these men got the biggest win of their careers, with Alexander becoming number one contender and Crews becoming champion. I don't think anyone could've imagined that these two men would someday main event a pay-per-view, but here we are. It's obvious that both men are incredibly talented physically, but it's the mental aspect that interests me. Crews has seemed to look down on Alexander as a true challenger, incredibly confident that he will remain champion. But actions speak louder than words, and Cedric Alexander got the first real shot in during their contract signing, hitting Crews with the Lumbar Check. Is the Age of Alexander soon to be crowned, or will Apollo back up his big talk in the ring?

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...
