Henry's Universe Mode(Season 4): Royal Rumble Preview

It's the beginning of the Road to WrestleMania, as 30 superstars compete to earn a world championship match in the main event of the Grandest Stage of Them All.






Royal Rumble 2019 Card


Asuka(c) vs Bayley- SmackDown Women's Championship Match

With her friendship with Sasha Banks seemingly restored, Bayley is back in the title picture, and gets her shot at the Empress to open the Royal Rumble event. Is the Huggable One ready for Asuka?


Pete Dunne(c) vs Elias- United Kingdom Championship Match

The Drifter called out the UK Champion, and in a shocker, managed to pick up a win over Pete Dunne after grabbing the tights in a pinfall. Goldberg decided to give Elias a championship match, and added some additional incentive, as the winner will also be a part of the Royal Rumble.


The Woken Warriors(c) vs The Usos- SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match

Jimmy and Jey Uso are finally back in a title match, picking up several crucial wins over the past few weeks. For as good as they have looked, Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy aren't as established a team as The Usos, but will they be able to retain their championships again?


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

Since becoming a three-time Raw Women's Champion, Becky Lynch has taken to calling herself "The Man", but runs into an old rival at the Royal Rumble. Lynch and Paige had an incredible feud in the summer of 2017, and the challenger will have plenty of momentum after recently returning from injury.


Kevin Owens(c) vs Daniel Bryan- WWE Championship Match

After losing his championship without being pinned, Daniel Bryan has been campaigning to get a chance to win it back, even bringing back the "Yes!" chant. This has irked Kevin Owens time and time again, to the point where he went to Edge and demanded Bryan receive a title match, so KO could shut him and his fans up for good.


Shinsuke Nakamura(c) vs Roman Reigns- Universal Championship Match

So many times, Roman Reigns has gotten close to breaking out, but remains without singles gold in Universe Mode. After this match was made official, Shinsuke told the world that Roman is a failure, and unfit to be champion. The champion's mind games seem to have gotten to the number one contender, but will Roman Reigns be able to finally get the job done?


The Royal Rumble Match


NXT: Like last year, NXT will be a part of the the Rumble, getting four spots in the match. After just hosting the Takeover event last night, who will Triple H choose to represent the brand?


RAW: The red brand has already announced some big names to compete, like Aleister Black, Bobby Lashley, Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins and The Undertaker. But some interesting lesser used talent have qualified for the match, like Baron Corbin, Kofi Kingston and Shelton Benjamin, who picked up an upset win over last year's runner-up Randy Orton. Can Raw win the Rumble for the third year in a row?


SmackDown: All eyes are on the number 30 spot that SmackDown owns, which Edge is yet to reveal. Several competitors have attempted to suck up to the GM in hopes of getting that golden opportunity, but they seemed to have little success. Will it be a current member of the roster, or like a last year, a new signing who takes the 30th spot? I guess we'll have to find out when the clock strikes zero.

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...
