Neville Promo

Neville made his way to the ring to open Main Event, mic in hand. He quickly started running his mouth, claiming that he is the King of the Cruiserweights, and had he been in the Cruiserweight Classic, he would've won the whole thing. Perkins was not going to sit back and take this, coming out to the ring to exchange verbal barbs. Eventually, it was agreed that the two men would meet at Elimination Chamber in a non-title match. Neville then tried to jump the champ, but TJ saw it coming and drove Neville from the ring, standing tall heading into their match.


Carmella vs Natalya

Carmella had her boys, Enzo and Big Cass, backing her up for this match, but Natalya had back up in the form of her husband, former WWE Champion Tyson Kidd. Carmella got going early against the former SmackDown Women's champ, even locking in the Code of Silence, but she couldn't force a submission. Natalya stayed calm and picked Carmella apart with vicious offense, locking in her own submission hold, the Sharpshooter, to pick up the win.

Winner: Natalya


The Ascension vs Hype Bros

Konnor and Viktor looked to get back in the title picture, facing Zack Ryder and the debuting Mojo Rawley. The experience of The Ascension played in their favor, as they isolated Ryder. Zack proved to be a little slippery, escaping to tag in Mojo, who cleaned house. Ryder caught Konnor with a Rough Ryder, and that was all she wrote.

Winners: Hype Bros


 Cruiserweight Battle Royal

This was a big six man battle royal, the winner receiving a future Cruiserweight Title match. Rich Swann was first out, as the debuting Will Ospreay made a big impact. Zack Sabre Jr and Cedric Alexander would both follow, as Kota Ibushi and Ricochet each score eliminations. Ospreay and Ricochet realized that Ibushi was the biggest threat, and worked together to take out the Golden Star. That left the two newest members of the cruiserweight division, Will Ospreay and Ricochet, to fight it out for the title shot. In the end, it was the Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay, that made a hell of a debut, eliminating Ricochet to put the entire division on notice.

Winner: Will Ospreay


Will Ospreay now targets the Cruiserweight Title, but the champion is busy with his new foe, Neville. Can the Man That Gravity Forgot prove that he is the King of the Cruiserweights? Tune in this weekend for Elimination Chamber.

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...
