I know I've bounced around a few different series recently, and I can say that it's been pretty difficult to find something that sticks. In times of need, you go back to your roots. Therefore, today I can declare that the five month hiatus of Henry's Universe Mode has officially come to an end. I've spent the past few days updating the wiki and preparing for the return of this series. To that end, there are going to be a few changes moving forward. In classic WWE fashion, I've retconned one of the big changes to the product. If you remember, back at No Mercy, Becky Lynch and Alexa Bliss unified both women's championships. That was a dumb decision, and I'm happy to say it's been reversed. That was just a Champion vs Champion match, and both women get to keep their titles.
I really want to get to the second WrestleMania of this series, and the second WWE Draft, so until then, I will only be posting pay-per-views(and preview posts). I've reworked a lot of storylines and made a lot of long term plans, that should help the series going forward. However, that does mean that the stories I was telling before have been changed, so if something doesn't quite make sense, that's probably why. With all that out of the way, let's bring back Henry's Universe Mode is style. Here's the card for the debuting pay-per-view, Halloween Havoc. (Note: there was originally scheduled to be a NXT Championship match on this card. I'm not really sure why, and it's been moved to the next Takeover show).
Halloween Havoc Preview
Shinsuke Nakamura(c) vs Rusev- 2 Out of 3 Falls Match for the United States Championship
After Shinsuke Nakamura won the US Championship from Rusev at No Mercy, the Bulgarian Brute has claimed that Nakamura stole his title. To avoid any "controversy", their rematch will now be contested in a 2 out of 3 falls match.
Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens(c) vs Big Cass and Big Show- SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match
The team of Enzo Amore and Big Cass won the right to a number one contendership match, defeating The Usos on SmackDown Live. However, Enzo was shockingly fired, leaving Cass without a partner. In the contendership match against Heath Slater and Rhyno, Big Show was revealed as his new partner, and the two monsters dominated their way to this championship match.
Kenny Omega(c) vs Baron Corbin- Intercontinental Championship Match
Baron Corbin defeated Tye Dillinger to become number one contender with the help of longtime rival Randy Orton, shocking a lot of fans. The duo of former Intercontinental Champions believe Omega is unworthy of holding the belt and intend to embarrass him at Halloween Havoc.
New Day vs The Revival- #1 Contender's Match
Who will be next to challenge Raw Tag Team Champions The Shield? That will be determined in this match, as two of the red brand's top teams face off, with the winners heading to Survivor Series.
Alexa Bliss(c) vs Nia Jax- SmackDown Women's Championship Match
In a triple threat number one contender's match on SmackDown, we saw how dominant Nia Jax can be, as she defeated both Charlotte and Bayley. This will be a rematch of Bliss and Jax's brutal No Holds Barred match from Backlash, and Nia's chance to become champion for the second time in Universe Mode.
Braun Strowman(c) vs Finn Balor- Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match for the Universal Championship
Braun Strowman and Finn Balor has been the top rivalry on Raw now for many months. At Extreme Rules, Finn brought out the Demon to hand Braun his first clean loss. At Summerslam, Strowman got his win back, pinning Balor before going on to become Universal Champion at No Mercy. Now, at Halloween Havoc, both men must go through one of the most brutal matches WWE has to offer: a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match. The future of Monday Nights hangs above the ring, but only one man can reign supreme.
John Cena(c) vs Bray Wyatt- WWE Championship Match
At Summerslam, John Cena became a world champion for the first time in Universe Mode, before successfully defending his championship against AJ Styles at No Mercy. But being the face of a brand isn't all it's cracked up to be, and Cena must now face a new force in Bray Wyatt. Wyatt, the first World Heavyweight Champion of the series, want to reclaim his former glory, and vows to topple Cena in Halloween Havoc's main event.
