Henry's World

Welcome to Judgment Day. Tonight, that phrase is quite literal for Drew McIntyre, who must defend his WWE Championship against one of the toughest and meanest men in Universe Mode, Brock Lesnar. For Bobby Roode, tonight is an opportunity to prove to the world that he is as good as he says he is, but to do so, he must go through an extremely fired up Daniel Bryan. Plus, the Hardy Boyz look to stun the cocky champions, Ember Moon challenges Asuka and AJ Styles faces Andrade Almas in a dream match. And now, SmackDown presents........................Judgment Day! Universe Mode Judgment Day May 20th, 2018 Location: Cohasset, MA Official Judgment Day Theme Song- "War of Change"- Thousand Foot Krutch Charlotte Flair vs Sasha Banks Both women cycled through their signature moves in a back and forth battle to open Judgment Day. Ultimately, Sasha Banks backed up her bold claims, managing to lock in the Bank Statement and managing to make Charlotte Fla...

The first brand-exclusive pay-per-view of Season 4 is Judgment Day for SmackDown. Let's breakdown the card. Judgment Day 2018 Card Charlotte Flair vs Sasha Banks After a few losses to start her tenure on SmackDown Live, Sasha Banks is in a rut. But The Boss has not lost confidence in herself, calling out Charlotte Flair for a match. The Queen has not been able to recover from her loss to Nia Jax at the Royal Rumble, and has gladly accepted the challenge. Two of the best meet to open the show, with the winner getting back in title contention. The KO & Sami Show(c) vs Hardy Boyz- SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match After defeating the seemingly unstoppable Wyatt Family, Jeff and Matt Hardy followed up with a win over The Usos to become number one contenders. Champions Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are seemingly not taking this challenge seriously, spending more time coming up with a new tag team name than training, finally settling on The KO & Sami Show. AJ ...

So, we're at the end of the first month of 2019, and I have a few things to talk about. Obviously, I've brought back weekly shows in Henry's Universe Mode, and I think they've been going pretty well. However, I've been a bit overwhelmed with having to catch up an entire year to get back to the real life dates. So for now, I'm going back to pay-per-view only, and I'll switch to a schedule with two events per month so there's still plenty of content being posted. I think weekly shows can still work for me, but I would like my Universe Mode to be caught up to 2019 before I consider going fully into posting them. As for anything non-Universe Mode related, there isn't really much to say because there hasn't been anything else. The premiere date for American Dad got pushed back to February 11th, so we're still a couple weeks off that. Once I can get the full year of Henry's Universe Mode done, I may consider doing some other projects, or bri...

In Part 2 of Backlash, factions collide as the New Day faces The Shield. Plus, two world title matches and Asuka challenging the dominant Nia Jax. And to open this part, Shane McMahon goes face to face with Braun Strowman! Shane McMahon Promo Shane once again thanked Braun for not trying to appear on Raw, and quickly we got what we were promised, as Strowman himself made his entrance. Braun was accompanied to the ring by an extremely large security detail, and looked as furious as anticipated. He said Shane knew full well that Braun couldn't attend Raw or shake his detail, because if he did either, he would be fired on the spot. Shane claimed ignorance, saying he had never threatened termination. Strowman wasn't finished though, saying there was one thing McMahon hadn't considered....................Braun Strowman doesn't give a damn! The crowd roared as Strowman demolished everything in his path, sending security guards flying in every direction. Running power...

Following the events of WrestleMania, tonight comes the Backlash. In Part 1, AJ Styles faces Ricochet in a dream match, and new champions Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Tommaso Ciampa and Becky Lynch put their titles on the line. The Grandest Stage of Them All was an ending to a tale, but there is always more to the story. Tonight, a new chapter begins. And now, Raw and SmackDown present........................Backlash! Universe Mode Backlash April 29th, 2018 Location: Dallas, TX Official Backlash Theme Song- "Fire"- Barns Courtney AJ Styles(c) vs Ricochet- Intercontinental Championship Match True to his word, AJ Styles was alone in this match, as these two men settled things one on one. It was Ricochet that was able to connect on all his biggest moves, getting several near falls, including off of a double rotation moonsault. But Styles had a gameplan, and took out the right leg of Ricochet using the Calf Crusher. Unable to fly, a hobbled ...

The first pay-per-view of Season 4 is Backlash, co-branded between Raw and SmackDown. Let's breakdown the card. Backlash 2018 Card AJ Styles(c) vs Ricochet- Intercontinental Championship Match After defeating AJ is a non-title match in February, Ricochet has seemed to be the unofficial number one contender. The champion attempted to strike first, but Styles was sent packing from his own post-match ambush. The Phenomenal One has made it clear that this is a personal issue, as he has already declared that The Club will not be at ringside for this championship match. But could this just be mind games from a man that has perpetrated more diabolical acts than any other in Universe Mode? Tommaso Ciampa(c) vs Kassius Ohno- United States Championship Match Following his recent signing to Raw, Kassius Ohno made an immediate impact, saving his former tag partner Cesaro from the wrath of the Psycho Killer. The two men engaged again six days ago, with Ohno again standing tall....

After a brawl ended last week's edition of SmackDown Live, Edge has booked a big main event tonight, as The Usos team up with Samoa Joe to face Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens and Drew McIntyre! Plus, John Cena looks to humble Bobby Roode, Nia Jax faces Sasha Banks, the Wyatt Family host an open challenge and AJ Styles addresses his title defense against Ricochet. Universe Mode SmackDown Live April 24th, 2018 Location: Philadelphia, PA AJ Styles Promo The Phenomenal One opened the show, flaked by Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. However, AJ then sent the other two member of The Club to the back, declaring that he wanted to face Ricochet alone. Styles promised that he would be alone again at Backlash, saying that Ricochet had humbled him a few weeks ago and this was now a personal matter. A skeptical Ricochet then entered, promising that no matter what tricks Styles had up his sleeve, The One and Only was walking out of Backlash as the Intercontinental Champion. Bobby Ro...

Tonight on Raw, number one contender Randy Orton is in action, as he gets a tune-up match in our main event against a mystery opponent. The bigger question, though, is whether or not Aleister Black will attempt to get revenge for last week's attack, six days before the two men meet for the Universal Championship. Plus, Elias and Alexa Bliss look for more momentum, and Cesaro debuts his new tag team! Universe Mode Monday Night Raw April 23rd, 2018 Location: Rosemont, IL Shane McMahon Promo In a surprise opening to Raw, the GM made his way to the ring. Shane was tired of fielding questions about Braun Strowman, and has decided to deal with the situation head on. First, he thanked Braun for not showing up the past few weeks, as requested. As a compromise, Shane has invited Braun to travel to Backlash on Sunday, and talk to him, face to face in the ring! Dolph Ziggler vs Kassius Ohno Kassius Ohno showed everyone why they call him the Knock-out Artist, as absolut...

Edge was unimpressed by Samoa Joe's attitude last week, and has put him in a big match tonight against one half of the SmackDown Tag Team Champions, Kevin Owens. Owens and Zayn will open the show, to address both that main event and the attack by The Usos a few weeks ago. Plus, Bobby Roode makes a statement following his main event loss, Asuka takes on Charlotte Flair and Ember Moon makes her SmackDown debut! Universe Mode SmackDown Live April 17th, 2018 Location: Bakersfield, CA Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn Promo The tag team champions were quick to lay down the challenge. Owens and Zayn vs The Usos, one more time, at Backlash! Both teams have unfinished business, as their ladder match at WrestleMania only seemed to prolong their feud. Kevin and Sami did not get a response, so they moved on to address tonight's main event, as Kevin pushed to go into the match without back-up and Sami reluctantly agreed. Asuka vs Charlotte Flair The Queen was looking for re...

Tonight on Raw, The Miz gets his shot at glory as he faces the Universal Champion, Aleister Black. Plus, after a great showing last week, Natalya gets a shot at the champ, the Lucha House Party face the Shield and Cesaro addresses his frustrating start on the red brand. Universe Mode Monday Night Raw April 16th, 2018 Location: St. Petersburg, FL Lucha House Party vs The Shield The trio of luchadores did have the speed and aerial advantage in this match, but that meant little going against the well oiled machine known as The Shield. Ambrose, Rollins and Reigns all looked impressive, and put a statement on their win with an emphatic triple powerbomb to Lince Dorado. Winners: The Shield Paige vs Ruby Riott Paige had a chance to get back on track this week, as she took on former number one contender Ruby Riott. As Paige waited in the ring, Ruby made her way down the ramp, before making some sort of beckoning signal. From out of the crowd, two women ran into the ri...

The cocky and arrogant Bobby Roode made a statement last week by interrupting Daniel Bryan and Edge, but he may pay for it tonight, as he faces Bryan in SmackDown's main event. In the other featured match of the night, Asuka, Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks battle it out for the right to face Nia Jax at Backlash. But with how dominant the champion has been, will the winner of this battle of former champions even stand a chance? Plus, after being attacked by Samoa Joe last week, Drew McIntyre is ready for a fight, and will call out Joe to begin tonight's show. Universe Mode SmackDown Live April 10th, 2018 Location: Biloxi, MS Drew McIntyre Promo The WWE Champion was not in a good mood after falling prey to the Coquina Clutch last week, and wasted no time in calling out Samoa Joe to face him in the ring. Joe had other ideas, remaining backstage to issue his statement. Simply put, Samoa Joe is an intelligent man, and plans on fighting Drew McIntyre on his own ti...

For the second week in a row, Shane McMahon will open Raw to address the Braun Strowman situation. What will the GM have to say about costing Strowman a championship opportunity last week? Plus, Cesaro faces Tommaso Ciampa, Kalisto takes on The Big Dog and Alexa Bliss, Mickie James and Natalya battle it out in a number one contender's match! Universe Mode Monday Night Raw April 9th, 2018 Location: East Rutherford, NJ Shane McMahon Promo The Raw GM made his way to the ring to a chorus of boos, as fans certainly had not forgotten his actions in last week's main event. He made his stance very clear; Shane McMahon does not like Braun Strowman, and never has. Strowman goes against everything Shane believes are important to the business, and everything he's been raised to believe. Braun Strowman does not have respect, Braun Strowman does not have humility, he's just a monster that enjoys hurting people. Shane will make a promise, right here and right now; a...

After Daniel Bryan returned as an active competitor two nights ago at WrestleMania, SmackDown is now left without a GM. In his final few acts in charge, Bryan took part in the 2018 WWE Draft and booked tonight's match card, taking care not to book himself. He's also been allowed to select his replacement, and is set to announce who SmackDown's new GM will be to start the show. In addition to that news, we should see a great night of action, with multiple champions in action and some more debuts. AJ Styles faces Chad Gable, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn take on TM-61 and in the main event, new WWE Champion Drew McIntyre faces a stiff test in John Cena. Universe Mode SmackDown Live April 3rd, 2018 Location: Honolulu, HI Daniel Bryan Promo Bryan opened the show to huge cheers from the fans in attendance, and quickly said a few words about his big win over The Miz, before going straight into his announcement. SmackDown's new General Manager is................

Welcome to Season Four of Henry's Universe Mode! Earlier today, both of our GMs worked together with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon to complete the 2018 WWE Draft. We do not know what moves took place during that meeting, although we have been assured that changes have been made to both rosters. In addition, several NXT wrestlers have been offered main roster contracts, and quite a few have accepted, providing a jolt of fresh blood for both shows. While everything that has taken place over the past few hours remains a complete mystery, I have a feeling it won't be for much longer... After losing his Universal Championship last night at WrestleMania, Braun Strowman is hot, and has already declared on social media that he plans to call out Shane McMahon to start Raw, with rumors running rampant that he will be using his rematch clause. Shane's already been busy, announcing at least three debuts to take place tonight. In our opening match, two of those debutants will face of...
