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

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...
