AJ Styles(c) vs Ricochet- Intercontinental Championship Match

True to his word, AJ Styles was alone in this match, as these two men settled things one on one. It was Ricochet that was able to connect on all his biggest moves, getting several near falls, including off of a double rotation moonsault. But Styles had a gameplan, and took out the right leg of Ricochet using the Calf Crusher. Unable to fly, a hobbled Ricochet tried to rally, but fell prey to a chop block, and then the Styles Clash to end his night. 

Winner and still Intercontinental Champion: AJ Styles


Tommaso Ciampa(c) vs Kassius Ohno- United States Championship Match

Leaving nothing to chance, Tommaso Ciampa jumped Kassius Ohno before the bell could ring, busting Ohno open with the United States Championship. The Knockout Artist still wanted to fight, but it was obvious he was in no condition to compete. Despite being at a disadvantage, Ohno could still overpower Ciampa, and nearly managed to connect with his devastating discus elbow. But Ciampa got out of the way, and delivered a low blow that the official didn't notice, putting the challenger away with multiple running punts to the skull. 

Winner and still United States Champion: Tommaso Ciampa


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

Owens and Zayn showed a new side of themselves as a tag team, more willing to play dirty and isolate each member of The Usos. This new strategy was a huge success, as the challengers couldn't hit most of their patented double team offense. Down the stretch, Sami Zayn made the ultimate sacrifice, shoving legal man Kevin Owens out of the way to take a superkick from Jey Uso. Jey was stunned, and Owens reacted quicker, hitting the pop-up powerbomb to retain the titles. 

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


Becky Lynch(c) vs Alexa Bliss- Raw Women's Championship Match

Alexa Bliss has a mean streak that Becky Lynch simply doesn't possess, and it seemed like it would make the difference in this championship match. But Becky was patient, and kept her cool, working on the left arm of Bliss and waiting for her opening. Alexa got a near fall off her snap DDT, but unlike the champion, she did not keep her cool, yelling at the official. A second DDT was countered, and Becky took her chance, locking in the Dis-arm-her! With all the torque on the already injured arm, Bliss had no choice but to tap, as Becky Lynch remains the woman to beat on Raw. 

Winner and still Raw Women's Champion: Becky Lynch

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...
