Jack Swagger vs AJ Styles

The WWE Champion in singles action is a rare sight, and AJ Styles took this opportunity to taunt the fans about that fact. His arrogant attitude almost cost him a few times, but ultimately Jack Swagger fell to a Phenomenal Forearm.

Winner: AJ Styles


Nikki Bella vs Nia Jax

The Fearless One would have to live up to that nickname as she went one on one with the Female Destroyer, Nia Jax. Jax was dominant for a spell, but Nikki showed her resolve and continued to fight. She capitalized on a mistake, as Nia got a little too confident, and Nikki scored with a Rack Attack 2.0 to pick up a huge win and move right into championship contention.

Winner: Nikki Bella


A Perfect Challenge

Tye Dillinger make a waves yesterday, when he challenged the Social Outcasts to one more match on social media. It will be a one on one match, with all other members of the group barred from ringside. If Tye wins, then the man who accepts his challenge must leave the Social Outcasts. If he loses, then Tye Dillinger must leave SmackDown Live.


The Usos vs The Wyatt Family

Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper looked to do what their number one contenders Enzo and Big Cass could not, and that was defeat The Usos. Jimmy and Jey showed off their impressive teamwork, as it was clear they had the advantage two on two, delivering multiple superkicks. The man advantage came into play for the Wyatts, as Erick Rowan interfered several times. This gave Harper an opportunity to connect on a facebuster to pick up a huge win for the champs.

Winners: The Wyatt Family


Randy Orton vs The Miz

The Intercontinental Champion had more than just The Miz to deal with, as Sami Zayn took a spot at ringside to watch the action. The presence of his number one contender clearly got under Orton's skin, as he put in a less than great performance. The Awesome One was in the driver's seat for most of the match, coming close to scoring a huge win after he locked in the Figure Four. Despite all of the punishment he dished out, Miz eventually fell prey to a RKO.

Afterward, the Apex Predator wasn't finished. He got in the face of Zayn, slapping him and then dropping him with a second RKO. Message sent.

Winner: Randy Orton


Brock Lesnar vs The Club

The undying determination of Brock Lesnar has been a talking point in the past, but never was it on more display then on this night. Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows threw everything at Lesnar, but the Beast Incarnate survived it all. Double team moves, power moves, suplexes off the top rope, nothing could keep Brock down. The Machine Gun connected with a Gun Stun, but that wasn't enough. The two men combined for their finishing maneuver, the Magic Killer, which has put many away before, but even that wouldn't be enough. Gallows lost his cool, grabbing a steel chair, before smashing it over the back of Lesnar for a disqualification.

After the match, Anderson and Gallows continued to attack Lesnar, with Styles making his way to the ring to join in on the beatdown. This drew out Roman Reigns and Cesaro, neither friends of Lesnar, but each wanted a piece of The Club. It was complete chaos as SmackDown went off the air, all six men brawling in the ring.

Winner: Brock Lesnar

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...
