Becky Lynch vs Shayna Baszler

This was a great showing for Becky Lynch against Ms. Money in the Bank, as she had counters for just about every move in Shayna Baszler's arsenal. In the end, Baszler got trapped in the Dis-arm-her, and with nowhere to go, she tapped! For the first time, the Queen of Spades has been defeated, and now Becky can set her sights on recapturing the Raw Women's Championship. 

Winner: Becky Lynch


The Revival(c) vs Authors of Pain- Raw Tag Team Championship Match

You have to give Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson a lot of credit for their effort here, as both men showed a lot of fighting spirit, desperately trying to hold onto their tag titles. But their efforts proved to be fruitless, as Wilder was put away with the Last Chapter, and Akam and Rezar are back to the top of the mountain. 

Winners and the NEW Raw Tag Team Champions: Authors of Pain


Bobby Lashley vs Lio Rush

Bobby Lashley was through being mocked after his loss to Lio Rush on Raw, and took out his frustrations in this match. Rush never stood a chance, and was swiftly put away with the Dominator. Lashley certainly sent a message with this win, and nobody's laughing at him now. 

Winner: Bobby Lashley


Ronda Rousey(c) vs Candice LeRae- Raw Women's Championship Match

Candice LeRae and Ronda Rousey put on an absolute clinic with both women impressing the Portland crowd. Following a series of impressive power moves, Rousey managed to lock in the armbar, but Candice fought her way free with some vicious knee strikes. A dazed Rousey was then lifted up top, and the challenger connected with a top rope neckbreaker! But Ms. LeRae's Wild Ride only managed a near fall, leaving Candice searching for answers. The Rowdy One just had a bit more in her tonight, as she countered a powerslam into another armbar, and Candice was finally forced to tap. 

Winner and still Raw Women's Champion: Ronda Rousey


Pete Dunne(c) vs Johnny Gargano- United Kingdom Championship Match

Both men traded a lot of big moves throughout this match, but both were just unwilling to lose, turning this into an endurance battle. After Johnny Wrestling came very close to forcing Pete Dunne to tap to the Gargano Escape, the Bruiserweight proved just how resilient he is. Several forearms connected, dazing Gargano long enough to be dropped with the Bitter End and put down for three. 

Winner and still United Kingdom Champion: Pete Dunne


Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins

While Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns may have had a common goal, they were certainly not used to working together as a team, and it showed. Following a near fall off a Spear from Reigns, Ambrose got in his partner's face, and the two nearly came to blows. Seth Rollins capitalized, knocking Dean off the apron and hitting Roman with a superkick and then the Blackout! With Ambrose still down, Reigns had no chance to kick out, as Rollins got some revenge and survived against the odds. 

Winner: Seth Rollins


Braun Strowman(c) vs Shinsuke Nakamura- Universal Championship Match

Despite his cheap victory at Summerslam, the Portland crowd were firmly in Shinsuke Nakamura's corner, and he used that advantage. He also used his strikes to full effectiveness, able to avoid most of Braun Strowman's incredible power. Nakamura countered an attempt at the running powerslam with a stiff elbow shot, and then hit the Kinshasa, sending Strowman crashing to the mat! But before Shinsuke could go for the cover, the lights went out! Aleister Black's music played, then stopped, and the lights turned back on. A confused Shinsuke looked around, but there was no sign of Black anywhere. Nakamura then turned right into a big boot, as Braun recovered to hit the big powerslam and end Shinsuke's world championship dreams. 

Winner and still Universal Champion: Braun Strowman

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...
