Henry's Universe Mode(Season 4) NXT Takeover: Philadelphia Preview

The night before the Royal Rumble, NXT takes over the Birthplace of Extreme.






NXT Takeover: Philadelphia Card


War Raiders(c) vs The Ascension- Extreme Rules Match for the NXT Tag Team Championships

After losing their titles in Tokyo, Konnor and Viktor have been on a warpath back to the top, and these two teams have continued to be at each other's throats. This promises to be a chaotic affair, and will kick off the night in style.


Keith Lee vs Matt Riddle

Good friends on the independent scene collide one on one, as Keith Lee faces Matt Riddle. Both men have been dominant since arriving to NXT, and this match was set up after both went to Triple H to demand more competition.


Io Shirai(c) vs Bianca Belair- NXT Women's Championship Match

After taking her first loss in Tokyo, Toni Storm has struggled since, including losing a number one contender's match to Bianca Belair. The EST of NXT now gets her shot at the Genius of the Sky, and Bianca has promised to ground the high-flying champion.


Cedric Alexander(c) vs Mustafa Ali- Cruiserweight Championship Match

With a groundswell of support, it was only a matter of time before Mustafa Ali got his shot, and he gets it in Philly against Cedric Alexander. The Age of Alexander is in full force, with Cedric defeating just about every cruiserweight on the roster. But can Ali's incredible momentum get him to the top?


EC3(c) vs Velveteen Dream- Extreme Rules Match for the NXT Championship

The NXT Champion didn't have long to gloat about retiring Hideo Itami, as on NXT, he and the Dream engaged in a wild brawl that sent both men to the hospital. Triple H promised a big main event for Takeover: Philadelphia and delivered, letting both men let loose of their bloodlust in an Extreme Rules Match. This bitter rivalry reaches a head in the City of Brotherly Love, but who will survive the brutality and walk out NXT Champion?

American Dad "Twinanigans" Review

It's been a while since the last Steve and Roger episode, and this week reminded me why that's such a classic American Dad pairing. This is a genuinely fun episode, filled with some great one liners and even a great callback to the show's past. "Twinanigans" centers around the heretofore unmentioned acting careers of Roger and Steve, who twinned it up as the Smith Brothers. I'm not going to question whether this backstory actually makes sense to the overall timeline; no one watches American Dad for continuity. Steve had to give up acting to attend kindergarten, and wants to give Roger a second chance at greatness. The two head to auditions, where Steve impresses and Roger blows it. It's here the episode kinda misfires, as it's never made abundantly clear why Roger struggles so much at acting. Is he just trying too hard, does he have some form of stage fright, does he not even know what acting is? This part of the story is just never explained, w...

Henry's Pay-Per-View Reviews: ECW Heatwave 1998

As the world collectively loses it's mind over the coronavirus(this could be a fun intro to look back on in the future), the only sanity that can be found is in the ring. Let's take a look today at what is often considered ECW's finest outing, Heatwave '98. - Jokes aside, everyone should stay safe out there. I know it's easy to panic about these mass outbreaks, and I've certainly felt very nervous about everything I've heard and read over the past week. But I think we all need some fun in our lives right now, and this show is the epitome of distraction. - The opening contest is one of the highlights of the night, as Jerry Lynn takes on Justin Credible. Credible has an entire entourage in his corner, including Chastity, Jason and Nicole Bass, and their involvement in this match at times bordered on excessive. But the match begins to hit it's peak when Lynn puts Credible through a table with a hurricanrana, and it's all fantastic from...

Universe Mode SmackDown Live September 12th, 2017 Location: Dallas, TX Heath Slater vs Aiden English This was a big chance for momentum for both of these two men, as Slater was kicked out of the Social Outcasts a few months ago, while English's tag team partner, Simon Gotch, was recently released. Both of these men showed a lot of potential, and got the crowd invested on a couple of nea...
