Henry's Universe Mode #146: SmackDown Live

After a match of the year candidate at WrestleMania, Cesaro has offered Roman Reigns a rematch tonight, which the Big Dog accepted. The Swiss Superman has even put his championship match on the line to prove that he is the absolute best. Tye Dillinger, the dangerous Nia Jax and more!

Tye Dillinger vs Curtis Axel

Tye went in search of his first win here in Universe Mode, as he faced Curtis Axel, who had the support of fellow stable mates Heath Slater and Bo Dallas. Despite this, the numbers game was always going to be in favor of the Perfect Ten, and a Tye Breaker put Axel to sleep.

After the match though, things weren't quite as perfect for Tye, as he was jumped by Slater and Dallas. Tye might've won the match, but the Social Outcasts left him laying.

Winner: Tye Dillinger


The Miz Promo

We were interrupted by The Miz, who seemed to be in a foul mood. He demanded a mic and went on a rant against SmackDown GM Daniel Bryan. For too long, The Miz has been overlooked and undervalued. He's a former Intercontinental Champion, but still he doesn't get the respect he deserves. It's time for The Miz to rise, it's time for the Awesome One to take over, regardless of whether Bryan likes it or not.


Dana Brooke vs Nia Jax

Emma accompanied her tag team partner to the ring, but Dana Brooke had little chance against Nia Jax. The Hybrid Athlete ran right through Brooke, and even Emma's interference did little to stop her. A big leg drop spelled the end for the Total Diva.

After the match, Alexa Bliss returned to a big ovation. The former SmackDown Women's Champion looked to get her some of Nia Jax, but even the element of surprise wasn't enough. Bliss was laid out as well, leaving Nia standing alone.

Winner: Nia Jax


Cesaro vs Roman Reigns

The Swiss Superman raised the stakes for this WrestleMania rematch when he put his championship opportunity on the line, and the tension in the arena could be cut with a knife. Both Cesaro and Roman Reigns know each other well after their first encounter, and they went right at it. Cesaro worked a slower pace, understanding that the younger man would feel the nerves of the occasion. Reigns, though, stayed calm, slowing his game down and looking for openings. One was created when he counted a suplex and followed up with a Superman Punch. A Spear was forthcoming, but Cesaro had it scouted, and countered into a Swiss Death. The Sharpshooter was locked in, but Reigns countered into a powerbomb. A stalemate was reached, and then broken with a Neutralizer from the King of Swing. Once more, the Big Dog showed his fortitude when he got the shoulder up at two. Cesaro looked nonplussed, and that was when all hell broke lose. Brock Lesnar charged the ring, just like last week, and laid waste to anyone and everyone. There was a F-5 waiting for both Cesaro and Reigns, and the Beast Incarnate stood tall once more.

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...

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!

The Route of Life

dedicated to my hermits, who changed my life Ch 1 My Hermit crabs Hermit crabs are sometimes hard to take care of. Especially when you never had a hermit. Last Sunday afternoon I got 2 Hermit crabs. Their names are Crabbe and Goyle. I have talked with many sales people. The first Petco we went to (where we got the hermits and their things) seemed to have no idea on the subject. So we ended up going to Dolphin Pet Village. They were more experience at the subject. Now we have some of the things we will need. Last week, I went to a second Petco. There we got a cuttlebone, which is the bone of a fish. Now they look happy. Have a good day Hermit Crabs! Ch 2 Curious Crab The week before last week, my mom looked into my crabitat and found that one of my crabs had climbed one of my fake trees. It was on the top branch. Later, when I was changing to get ready for bed, the crab fell out of his branch. I hope he is okay. He’s definitely starting to look okay. How funny do you think that story is...
