Ricochet(c) vs Finn Balor- Ladder Match for the Intercontinental Championship

This was a brutal match, as both men took turns punishing each other with the unforgiving steel ladder. After a battle atop the ladder, Finn Balor took an unbelievable chance, suplexing Ricochet all the way to the mat! But this proved to a big mistake for the former champion, as he took the worst of the impact. But Balor showed a lot of grit, as even after Ricochet connected on two Benadryller's, the challenger kept getting up. Eventually, it came down to a war atop the ladder, with both men looking to unhook the title. In an act of desperation, Ricochet grabbed hold of the belt and smashed Balor in the face with it, giving him enough time to unhook and lift his championship. 

Winner and still Intercontinental Champion: Ricochet


Charlotte Flair vs Ember Moon

The Queen nearly got an early decisive win over Ember, but Natural Selection could only garner a two count. Moon rallied, connecting with a big lariat before sizing up the Eclipse. But Ember only barely connected, not enough to keep Charlotte down. Flair countered a dropkick, hit a big chopblock and applied the Figure Eight, forcing Moon to tap out and giving Charlotte another win. 

Winner: Charlotte Flair


The Bludgeon Brothers(c) vs SAnitY- SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match

Harper and Rowan were as dominant as ever in this match, though Killian Dain was able to match some of their power. After Harper hit Eric Young with the discus clothesline, Dain made the save, igniting a brawl between himself and Rowan. In the chaos, Young managed to hit Harper with the wheelbarrow neckbreaker! But Harper kicked out at two, and turned the tide with a big boot, before tagging in Rowan to hit The Bludgeoning to retain the titles. 

Winners and still SmackDown Tag Team Champions: The Bludgeon Brothers


Andrade "Cien" Almas vs Rey Mysterio

After a back and forth early portion of the match, Andrade took control on the outside, aggravating some of the injuries Rey suffered at the hands of Samoa Joe. The Ultimate Underdog tried to will his way to victory despite the pain, but eventually fell to the hammerlock DDT. 

Winner: Andrade "Cien" Almas


Kairi Sane(c) vs Asuka vs Sasha Banks- SmackDown Women's Championship Match

Sasha Banks caused chaos during this match, taking out both Kairi Sane and Asuka as they were too distracted fighting each other. The Japanese women eventually teamed up, but the alliance didn't last for long. Kairi nearly managed to tap Asuka out with The Anchor, while Asuka nearly got the three count with a big roundhouse kick. Sasha almost won the title with a roll-up on Asuka, but paid for it with another roundhouse. It was Kairi who capitalized, hitting Asuka with a spinning backfist and putting Banks away with the InSane Elbow. 

Winner and still SmackDown Women's Champion: Kairi Sane


Daniel Bryan vs Samoa Joe

Daniel Bryan had a new look and a new attitude in his return to the ring, as he seemed to be embracing his American Dragon roots. This was an absolute slugfest, as Samoa Joe had welts all over his chest and arms while Bryan was busted open. The key to the match was the Coquina Clutch, which may have put Bryan away but Joe was countered twice trying to lock the hold in. Bryan was able to connect with several big strikes, and then hit the running knee, and then hit it again! But Joe was still stirring, the job wasn't finished yet. Bryan reached deep into his bag of tricks, and managed to apply the Cattle Mutilation! His old finishing move would get the job done, as Bryan may be back in line for a WWE Championship match. 

Winner: Daniel Bryan


Drew McIntyre(c) vs Sami Zayn- WWE Championship Match

With the crowd in East Lansing behind him, Sami Zayn did everything he could to topple Drew McIntyre in the main event. Zayn connected with an elbow drop and a vicious enziguri, before McIntyre rolled to the floor and got planted with a tornado DDT! The WWE Champion fought back with pure power, knocking Sami silly with a headbutt and nearly winning with the Future Shock DDT, but Zayn got his foot to the bottom rope. Sami was beginning to slow down, but had enough left for a big flurry of strikes, followed up with the Helluva Kick! Sami Zayn was on the cusp of becoming WWE Champion! But as the move connected, Kevin Owens caught the official's leg for some reason. The ref was having none of it, ejecting Owens, but the distraction was enough for Drew to kick out at two. A bewildered Sami watched his best friend walk up the ramp, and then turned right into a Claymore Kick! Kevin Owens watched on as the ref made the three count, a sick grin on his face. 

Winner and still WWE Champion: Drew McIntyre

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...
