Emma and Alexa Bliss vs Bayley and Sasha Banks

William Regal made a major announcement when he informed us that these four would meet in a fatal four way match at TakeOver: London for Emma's NXT Women's Title. With such high stakes coming up on Sunday, this match was very, very tense. Both Alexa and Sasha were looking to prove they belonged in a big championship match, trading innovative offense. Emma tried her best to stay out of the match, and looked pissed when Alexa, her protege, tagged her in. An obviously distracted Emma was caught with a Bayley to Belly to give Bayley and Sasha a big win. They'll be opponents on Sunday, but for tonight, they celebrated a big win.

Winners: Bayley and Sasha Banks


Pentagon Dark vs Curtis Axel

Axel may be the son of Mr. Perfect, but there was nothing perfect about this performance. It was another dominant win for Pentagon Dark, who won with a Fear Factor.

After the match, Pentagon looked to send another sacrifice to his master when he was interrupted by a dark form. The Vigilante, Sting! Sting, who's arm was snapped by Pentagon, returned to take down the Breaker of Bones, sending him scampering. Sting then announced that he had asked for and received a match for TakeOver: London. It will be Sting vs Pentagon Dark in a No Holds Barred Match, and should Sting come out victorious, Pentagon Dark must reveal the identity of his master.

Winner: Pentagon Dark


Daniel Bryan and Samoa Joe vs Gallows and Anderson

The question was whether or not Joe and Bryan could get along as tag partners. Although it started fine, the two quickly got into an argument on who could make pinfalls, and it quickly spiraled out of control. Gallows and Anderson controlled the match, and Bryan, on the apron, got frustrated, yelling at Joe to make the tag. Joe technically did, slapping Bryan in the face, which apparently counted as a tag. The two got into another argument, and Anderson capitalized, rolling up Bryan for the win.

After the match, Bryan and Joe began brawling, bringing referees out to try and break them up. They weren't very successful, but one man was...the NXT Champion, Bad News Barrett, who served out two Bull Hammers, taking out his challengers. He then addressed NXT GM William Regal, the leader of the United Kingdom. Barrett may not like Regal's decision to give him a tougher task to retain at TakeOver: London, but he understands it. He will be walking out victorious, and serving up Bad News to anyone that tries to stop him.

Winners: Gallows and Anderson


I've thought long and hard about this decision, and I think I've made the right call. So I'm sorry to announce that NXT TakeOver: London, this Sunday the 30th, will be the final event in NXT history. I will detail soon why this is happening, just know that I had a good reason for doing this. I hope you can understand.

TakeOver: London Final Card:

Bad News Barrett(c) vs Samoa Joe vs Daniel Bryan- NXT Championship Match
Neville(c) vs Sami Zayn- European Title Match
Gallows and Anderson(c) vs The Dirty Heels- NXT Tag Team Title Match
Emma(c) vs Alexa Bliss vs Bayley vs Sasha Banks- NXT Women's Title Match
Pentagon Dark vs Sting- No Holds Barred Match

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. ...

Curious Crab

One Monday night my mom looked into my crabitat and found that a crab had climbed into one of my fake trees. It was in the top branch. I looked in later, and found that the crab had fallen out of the tree. I hope he is okay. What a day!

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...
