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

South Park "Not Funny" Review

Good night, amateur trolls that trolled a troll and trolled themselves into a troll, brothers. With one episode to go in the season, South Park has remained consistently funny and on-point with their humor, though I worry about how their going to wrap all of this up. There are a good six to seven ongoing storylines right now, and only one episode to finish off a few of them. There was no clear focus this week, but I'll start where the episode ended, with Gerald's troll-based storyline. It's pretty satisfying to see the Troll Hunter's massive revelation; that he is, in fact, just another troll, bent on world destruction. Even Gerald couldn't find the humor in his master plan, as the Troll Hunter is truly in a league of his own. With the world on the brink of war, the trolling has truly begun, as the Troll Hunter went to work on his own employees and the other trolls, though why they had to be naked for that is beyond me. Kyle is always a sucker for saving the ...
