Henry's Universe Mode(Season 4) Episode 13: Mae Young Classic

As I mentioned yesterday in the Takeover: Chicago Preview, this tournament has taken place over the past month. However, since I don't do weekly shows, I've condescend all seven matches into one post. So here we go, eight new NXT signings, all fighting it out for a chance to challenge for the NXT Women's Championship in Chicago. Let the Mae Young Classic begin!






Bianca Belair vs Deonna Purrazzo- First Round Match

Up first, two women who may represent NXT's future faced off as Bianca Belair took on Deonna Purrazzo. Belair's power got her through the first round, as she avoided the deadly submissions of Purrazzo and put it away with the KOD.

Winner: Bianca Belair


Mandy Rose vs Toni Storm- First Round Match

Two different wrestling philosophies clashed in this match, as the Golden Goddess Mandy Rose faced Toni Storm. Storm taught her arrogant counterpart a lesson in respect, advancing easily after a Storm Zero.

Winner: Toni Storm


Aliyah vs Rhea Ripley- First Round Match

Aliyah was a huge underdog as she faced the savage Rhea Ripley. Unfortunately for Aliyah, there would be no upsets here, as Ripley's pure power was unstoppable, tapping out her opponent with an abdominal stretch.

Winner: Rhea Ripley


Mia Yim vs Sonya Deville- First Round Match

Our final first round match was between the versatile Mia Yim and former MMA fighter Sonya Deville. It looked like Yim was destined to advance, as she pulled out an incredible top rope Spanish Fly. But Deville just managed to stay in it, and connected with an impactful roundhouse kick off the jaw to get the win.

Winner: Sonya Deville


Bianca Belair vs Toni Storm- Semi-Finals Match

Toni Storm looked to follow up her dominant first win, but ran into a stiff test in the form of Bianca Belair. Belair laid it all on the line, even connecting on a 450 splash, but that incredible risk cost her, as she had no energy left. Storm did have something left in the tank, and powered through to hit Storm Zero and advance to the finals.

Winner: Toni Storm


Rhea Ripley vs Sonya Deville- Semi-Finals Match

In the second semi-finals match, Rhea Ripley met Sonya Deville in the hardest hitting contest of the tournament so far. Ultimately, Deville's strikes and ground game weren't enough to slow the powerhouse down, as Ripley got another win, this time with the pumphandle powerbomb.

Winner: Rhea Ripley


Rhea Ripley vs Toni Storm- Mae Young Classic Finals

The strength and intensity of Rhea Ripley met the explosive offense of Toni Storm to determine the winner of the Mae Young Classic. Storm took every opportunity she could, keeping up a lightning quick attack. But Ripley had done some scouting, as she caught Storm on the top rope, delivering an incredible powerbomb off the top! But the sheer willpower of Storm kept her going, as she managed to connect on a Tiger Driver for a near fall. In the closing moments, Ripley went for the pumphandle powerbomb, but Storm countered, hitting one final Storm Zero for the three count. Toni Storm wins the Mae Young Classic, and will now challenge for the NXT Women's Championship.

Winner: Toni Storm

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 ...
