Tye Dillinger vs Heath Slater

It was go big or go home, as Tye Dillinger put his job on the line, while Heath Slater, looking to prove himself, put his spot in the Social Outcasts on the line. While Dillinger was clearly superior to Slater throughout the match, the One Man Rock Band survived thanks to Dallas and Axel at ringside. In the end, even their involvement wasn't enough, as a Tye Breaker put Slater away.

After the match, Slater was laid out in the ring, slowly regaining consciousness. He was then attacked by his now former stable mates, Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel. Heath Slater's time in the Social Outcasts came to an end as he got the hell beat out of him in the ring.

Winner: Tye Dillinger


Tyler Breeze vs The Miz- Money in the Bank Qualification Match

Tyler Breeze and The Miz are perhaps the two most egocentric competitors on the SmackDown roster, but with a prize as big as entry into the Money in the Bank ladder match, they were more than willing to get down and dirty. After an even, back and forth contest, it was The Miz that punched his ticket to Money in the Bank via a Skull Crushing Finale.

Winner: The Miz


Tyson Kidd vs Kenny Omega- Money in the Bank Qualification Match

Tyson Kidd made his triumphant return, looking to qualify for Money in the Bank, but his return was overshadowed by the SmackDown debut of Kenny Omega. The Cleaner, a former member of NXT, was absolutely sharp on this night, as he picked Tyson Kidd apart. He also showed off his high-flying, taking to the skies with a Tope con Hilo. Kidd did his best to get back in the match with his high-class grappling, but committed a big mistake when he went for his elbow drop. Omega got out of the way and delivered a One-Winged Angel to get the win.

Winner: Kenny Omega


Enzo and Big Cass vs Gallows and Anderson

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson were clearly not in a good mood following their loss at Backlash, and with AJ Styles watching on, they did not disappoint. This was as dominant a performance as you will ever see, with Gallows especially looking great, taking out both Enzo and Cass. He laid out a completely beaten Amore with a Gallows Pole powerbomb, and that was the end of that. The Club are as dominant and destructive as ever, and still run this show.

Winners: Gallows and Anderson

South Park "Not Funny" Review

Good night, amateur trolls that trolled a troll and trolled themselves into a troll, brothers. With one episode to go in the season, South Park has remained consistently funny and on-point with their humor, though I worry about how their going to wrap all of this up. There are a good six to seven ongoing storylines right now, and only one episode to finish off a few of them. There was no clear focus this week, but I'll start where the episode ended, with Gerald's troll-based storyline. It's pretty satisfying to see the Troll Hunter's massive revelation; that he is, in fact, just another troll, bent on world destruction. Even Gerald couldn't find the humor in his master plan, as the Troll Hunter is truly in a league of his own. With the world on the brink of war, the trolling has truly begun, as the Troll Hunter went to work on his own employees and the other trolls, though why they had to be naked for that is beyond me. Kyle is always a sucker for saving the ...
