Welcome to Part 2 of Survivor Series, where Kairi Sane defends against Asuka, Shinsuke Nakamura once again challenges Braun Strowman and Team Raw faces Team SmackDown. Kairi Sane(c) vs Asuka- SmackDown Women's Championship Match The first time these two women met, Asuka was incredibly resilient, kicking out of two InSane Elbows. This time, it was Kairi who showed her heart, as the champion barely survived the onslaught of the Empress. The Pirate Princess was creative enough to escape the Asuka Lock by using her elbows. But the InSane Elbow could not connect, and Asuka capitalized, applying an armbar! It was a different attempt to finish the match for Asuka, and an injured Sane couldn't hold out, eventually forced to tap! Winner and the NEW SmackDown Women's Champion: Asuka Braun Strowman(c) vs Shinsuke Nakamura- Universal Championship Match Knowing this could be his last shot, Shinsuke let the full force of strong style loose, presenting a brand new challeng...

That left Kyle on his own, and despite some help from Adam Cole, he fell to the Last Chapter.  Winners and still Raw Tag Team Champions: The Authors of Pain Ricochet(c) vs Andrade "Cien" Almas- Intercontinental ...

Just like last year, Raw and SmackDown will face off in tonight's main event in a traditional Survivor Series match, with the 30th entry in the Royal Rumble going to the winner. However, Vince McMahon upped the stakes a few weeks ago, when he announced that the losing brand's GM will be fired!

Survivor Series 2018 Card The Authors of Pain(c) vs The Undisputed Era- Raw Tag Team Championship Match Back in NXT, The Undisputed Era used their numbers game to dethrone the Authors of Pain for the NXT Tag Team Championships.

Apologies for this review being a day late. There was a really threatening looking postman at the door, and he just wouldn't take the cheeseburger over the wood chipper. I'm here now though, so let's talk home security. "Funnyish Games" is a very centered episode of American Dad, a much needed break from the really over the top episodes this season has provided. After hearing about a home invasion on Facebook, Stan and Francine decide to install extra security for their house(RIP Stick). They install TBD Security, but Stan wants to prove to his wife that the system isn't enough, and invades at night, threatening to murder everyone. It's just the type of dumbass thing Stan would think of, but rather than putting Stan and Francine in direct conflict, Francine goes along, requesting Stan to protect the house instead. This is a really smart direction for the episode to take, giving us a more interesting look at their relationship rather than just forcin...

Welcome to Tokyo. This bustling metropolis has seen some of the best wrestlers from around the world put on some of the greatest matches in history, and tonight will hopefully be no different. Big Japanese signings like Io Shirai and KUSHIDA will make their Takeover debuts in championship matches against tough champions like Toni Storm and Cedric Alexander. But all eyes are on the main event, where Hideo Itami puts his career on the line against EC3 for the NXT Championship. Will Hideo triumphantly capture yet another championship, or this the night we bid farewell to the International Sensation? Universe Mode NXT Takeover: Tokyo November 24th, 2018 Location: Tokyo, Japan The Ascension(c) vs War Raiders- NXT Tag Team Championship Match We've seen the destruction of Hanson and Rowe in the past, and now we saw their resiliency, as they survived everything the champions could deal out.

Apollo Crews vs Velveteen Dream After EC3 cheated to beat Velveteen Dream, Triple H announced the Dream would get another chance, this time against the former NXT Champion Apollo Crews. Dream got into Crews' head, costing his friend Akira Tozawa a shot at the Cruiserweight Championship, leading to a confrontation between both men where Dream would score a cheap shot and then scamper to ...

Just over six months ago, Daniel Bryan made his triumphant return to the ring, defeating The Miz at WrestleMania. Bryan would rise up the ranks, eventually to become number one contender.

But Big Match John wasn't going to stay down for long, and has return for revenge, intent on delivering payback to Joe. Bludgeon Brothers(c) vs Balor Club- SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match In the past month, Finn Balor has not been as active in the ring, instead focusing on helping Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson get back to the tag titles. This proved to be successful, as Gallows and Anderson will get their shot against the dominant champions. Kairi Sane(c) vs Charlotte Flair- SmackDown Women's Championship Match The Queen has earned herself another championship match, after assaulting Asuka before their number one contender's match, then easily defeating the injured Empress. Kairi Sane was not at all impressed by Charlotte's tactics, and it's clear th...

Tonight is a night about rivalries, about bad blood and scores to be settled. Tonight, the women take center stage, as Becky Lynch looks to reclaim her championship from the ferocious Ronda Rousey. Three time Universal Champion Braun Strowman returns to the sight of his first championship win, just over a year ago, as he looks to end his feud with Bobby Lashley.

The New Day came close several times to getting the win, but eventually Ko...

Boy, this season of American Dad just keeps getting weirder. This week, we have a parody of a really terrible spin-off sitcom, and I just don't how to feel. Points for creativity, I guess. "Top of the Steve" features an incredibly cliche sitcom setup, as Steve moves out of the Smith house and somehow joins the all-girls Pendlingtonton Academy. There's a headmistress who makes dick jokes, a technicality that features a clause that features an addendum and wacky sidekicks like Spitz and The Babe. It's really, really hard to know how to react to most of this. It's absolutely awful television with no redeeming value of any kind, but that's entirely the point. This is Steve's chance to be the Big Dog(ruff ruff), and considering he's a pretty cliche character at times, it makes perfect sense his spin-off would be this dumb. I actually have to knock the episode for not leaning further into the premise. There's an audience reaction early on, but...

No Mercy 2018 Card The New Day vs The Undisputed Era Since signing to Raw following Summerslam, The Undisputed Era have been desperate to prove they belong and erase their loss to Sanity at Takeover: Brooklyn. They'll get their chance against the New Day, who also want to get back to winning ways. Aleister Black vs Shinsuke Nakamura- Falls Count Anywhere Clearly, the issues between Black and Nakamura haven't been settled, especially after Aleister's mind games cost Shinsuke his shot at the Universal Championship last month. Shane McMahon has offered both men a chance to end their feud in a match where anything goes and the fight can go anywhere in the building. Authors of Pain(c) vs The B-Team- Raw Tag Team Championship Match Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas took advantage of a golden opportunity, cleanly defeating the former champions The Revival, who were still recovering from their match at Unforgiven. Clearly, the challengers will be massive underdogs in this...

In the end, Baszler got trapped in the Dis-arm-her, and with nowhere to go, she tapped! For the first time, the Queen of Spades has been defeated, and now Becky can set her sights on recaptur...

Unforgiven 2018 Card Becky Lynch vs Shayna Baszler It was largely thanks to Shayna Baszler that Becky Lynch lost her championship at Summerslam, and the Lasskicker will look to get revenge here. Lynch has been on a rampage since that loss, more dangerous than ever before, but Baszler is still yet to lose a match and would love a win over the former champion. The Revival(c) vs Authors of Pain- Raw Tag Team Championship Match The Authors of Pain debuted on Raw in July, and have been racking up wins since then. They defeated The Bar to become number one contenders, and offer the biggest test yet for Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson. Bobby Lashley vs Lio Rush The Man of the Hour shocked the world with an upset win over Bobby Lashley, completely humiliating the former number one contender. Rush paid for it after Lashley hit him with a vicious Dominator on the entrance ramp, and Shane McMahon decided to set up a rematch, as Lashley and Rush will both get their chance at revenge. ...

By hook or by crook, Sami Zayn has finally gotten himself a world title match, and tonight will get his shot to defeat Drew McIntyre and capture the WWE Championship while his best friend Kevin Owens watches on. Plus, Daniel Bryan returns to face Samoa Joe, SAnitY's pay-per-view debut and more! And now, SmackDown presents.......................Clash of Champions! Universe Mode Clash of Champions September 23rd, 2018 Location: East Lansing, MI Official Clash of Champions Theme Song- "Glory"- The Score Ricochet(c) vs Finn Balor- Ladder Match for the Intercontinental Championship This was a brutal match, as both men took turns punishing each other with the unforgiving steel ladder. After a battle atop the ladder, Finn Balor took an unbelievable chance, suplexing Ricochet all the way to the mat! But this proved to a big mistake for the former champion, as he took the worst of the impact. But Balor showed a lot of grit, as even af...

Clash of Champions 2018 Card Ricochet(c) vs Finn Balor- Ladder Match for the Intercontinental Championship After a chaotic finish at Summerslam, Edge decided to give Finn Balor a shot to regain his championship, with all allies banned from ringside. Ricochet and AJ Styles teamed up to defeat the Balor Club's Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows, allowing the new champion to choose the stipulation. He choose a ladder match, as these two men will face off in what should be an incredible contest. Charlotte Flair vs Ember Moon The Queen finally got back to winning ways two weeks ago, cheating to defeat Ember Moon on SmackDown. Ember didn't take long to challenge Charlotte to a rematch that will hopefully finish clean this time. The Bludgeon Brothers(c) vs SAnitY- SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match Harper and Rowan did not get much time to celebrate winning the tag team titles, as they were attacked by recent NXT call-ups, SAnitY. The trio of Eric Young, Alexander Wol...

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...

Part 2 of Summerslam includes Aleister Black vs Shinsuke Nakamura, Ronda Rousey's debut and Daniel Bryan challenging for the WWE Championship. Finn Balor(c) vs Ricochet- Intercontinental Championship Match As you might have expected, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson played a big role in this championship match. Multiple times, Ricochet had the match won, only for one of them to interfere or distract the ref, including saving Finn Balor after the Benadryller connected. Balor capitalized to nearly retain his title with the Bloody Sunday, but Ricochet managed to kick out. The challenger was able to drop the champion with a superkick, and finally, AJ Styles got involved. Styles and Ricochet awed the fans with consecutive planchas, wiping Gallows and Anderson out. That left Finn on his own, but the Intercontinental Champion nearly stole the win, rolling up Ricochet for a near fall. But the One and Only connected again with the Benadryller, and nailed the 630 senton to capture the...

Summerslam 2018 Card Finn Balor(c) vs Ricochet- Intercontinental Championship Match Since becoming number one contender, Ricochet has had several run-ins with the Balor Club, including a vicious three on one backstage assault. But Ricochet has had some help from AJ Styles, who is determined to finally get some revenge on Finn Balor. Gallows and Anderson will be in the champion's corner, while Styles will support Ricochet, and surely chaos will follow. Aleister Black vs Shinsuke Nakamura After his loss at WrestleMania, we have not seen the King of Strong Style on Monday nights. But when Aleister Black called out anyone to face him, Nakamura returned to deliver a Kinshasa! Nakamura has displayed a personality shift, with new theme music and a more aggressive approach in the ring, if that was possible. Black desperately needs this win, as he still seems to be in a funk after losing the Universal Championship. The KO & Sami Show(c) vs The Bludgeon Brothers- SmackDown T...
