NXT No Mercy 2024 (REVIEW)

 NXT No Mercy 2024 Review

NXT Tag Team Championship match: Chase U (c) vs Nathan Fraser and Axiom

The show kicked off with a great tag team match between Fraxiom (as what twitter calls em) and the team of Andre Chase and Ridge Holland representing Chase U. The highlight was seeing Andre Chase of all people hitting a spanish fly off the top rope. That was completely out of the blue. Despite my prediction of Chase U retaining, Axiom and Fraser took the win and regained their NXT Tag team titles. After the match, Ridge Holland attacked his Chase U stable mates and put Andre Chase through the table, sending him to a local medical fecility. 

Nathan Fraser and Axiom win to become the NEW NXT Tag Team Champions

I still think the Fraser and Axiom should split and become singles stars. It was teased for weeks and it would've been nice to see Holland continue his redemption arc and maybe even get a shot at the NXT title with Chase U by his side. But now he drops out of Chase University and all paths are probably leading to Andre Chase vs Ridge Holland at the Next NXT PLE.

TNA X Division Champion Zachary Wentz vs Wes Lee

Zachary Wentz won the TNA X Division title few days prior to No Mercy at TNA Emergence. He came out to the ring with a TNA championship in a WWE PLE. The match was a personal one. Surprisingly, Zachary Wentz took the win and stood tall against Wes Lee.

I'm shocked that a TNA wrestler was able to beat a WWE wrestler on a WWE PLE, but maybe this rivalry is not over yet.

NXT Women's North American Championship: Kelani Jordan (c) vs Wendy Choo

Like I said, this gimmick for Wendy Choo is very goofy, way more goofy than her last gimmick. Who's going to get scared of someone who sleeps a lot but this time with face paint and demonic eyes. Thats all I can say when it comes to this rivalry.

NXT North American Championship match: Oba Femi (c) vs Tony D'Angelo

Obi Femi, as always, looked incredibly dominant and that looked from the get go. However, Tony D looked like the biggest threat to Oba Femi's title reign. I even kinda wanted Tony D to win. Multiple times, I thought Tony D was about to pick up the win but as always Oba Femi out powers him and after 3 power bombs, Oba Femi picked up the win to retain.

NXT Women's Championship Match: Roxanne Perez (c) vs Jaida Parker

Jaida Parker was a bit controlling in the match. Quite a few close calls. But her momentum ended once she went through the barricade. After that it was all over. A pop rox onto the barricade. and once in the ring, another pop rox and Roxanne Perez takes the win.

After the match the lights go out, music hits and unfamiliarity is on the stage. Someone comes out and it is Guilia who is finally making her debut on NXT. She goes up to Roxanne Perez and it looks like its going to be Roxanne Perez vs Gulia for the NXT Women's championship.

NXT Championship Match: "All Ego" Ethan Page (c) vs Joe Hendry - Trick Williams as special guest referee

It's time for the main event. A TNA wrestler challenges for the NXT title in the main event of an NXT PLE. What a time we live in. Trick Williams makes his entrance followed by Joe Hendry. Everyone showed that they all believed in Joe Hendry. After he made his last turn of the entrance, we turn to gorrilla position where the NXT champion and he cuts a promo before his music hits and he makes his entrance. The match was a bit slow but it was carried by the trios charisma. Trick eventually gets hit and goes out of the ring and another referee comes in for the pin but it is a kick out. Eventually Ethan Page puts Hendry for the pin but it is broken up by Trick Williams who shows the new ref that he is the ref and as the other ref is leaving the ring, Page low blows hendry and goes for the pin in which Trick counts 1, 2, 3.

Ethan Page beats Joe Hendry to retain the NXT Championship

Throughout the week I thought that with the addition of Trick, Joe Hendry might actually beat Ethan Page to become NXT Champion, but then I remembered that we haven't gotten Page defending against Trick yet after realizing that I knew Hendry would not win. Hopefully this isnt the last we see of him on NXT or WWE as a whole.

WWE RAW 8/26/24 REVIEW

  WWE RAW 8/26/24 REVIEW The Judgement Day kicks off The show starts with the Judgement Day making their entrance and they cut a promo on Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley stating that they deserved their beatdowns and that they were a long time coming. As per usual, when Dominik got the mic, the crowd boo'd him to oblivion. It too him awhile to announce that he was taking part in the intercontinental championship number 1 contenders tournament. The LWO later interrupt and Dom's father Rey cuts a promo on his son stating he's even more of an a hole. They go back and forth and eventually a brawl starts between the Judgement Day and the LWO.  JUDGEMENT DAY VS LWO 8-MAN TAG MATCH      This would lead to an 8-man tag team team match between the LWO and the Judgement Day. This is just your average 8-man tag we're used to seeing on raw but there was one amazing shot of all four members of LWO diving off all four sides and we get like an aerial view of it which looks amazi...

WWE Smackdown 8/23/24 Review

  WWE SmackDown 8/23/24 Review Welcome to the first of my WWE weekly show reviews. Here I will go over the results of each show and give my thoughts on them in addition to what I think will happen later in each story line. Recap of previous show: So if you don't already watch these shows, then you should know that there is usually a small recap of a storyline. Not a recap of the whole previous show, just them showing what was the big talking point from the last episode.  The show began by showing what happened last week where Solo Sikoa, along with Toma Tonga, called out Roman Reigns and Reigns appeared and attacked both of them and stood tall with the ula fala (what makes them the tribal chief) but out from nowhere came Jacob Fatu who attacked Roman and new bloodline hit Roman with a triple powerbomb and stood over the original tribal chief to close out the show. The new bloodline would appear later on this episode. The Grayson Waller Effect w/ Cody Rhodes The first actual se...

WWE BASH IN BERLIN 2024 REVIEW

  WWE BASH IN BERLIN 2024 (REVIEW) Undisputed WWE Championship Match: Cody Rhodes (c) vs Kevin Owens The show kicked off with a bang as Cody defended the WWE championship against Kevin Owens. Going into the match, Cody had a knee injury (which I'm not sure is kayfabe injury or real) and Kevin tried to get the match called off but Cody ensured him he was fine. The knee injury got to Cody as he was going for a top rope Cody cutter but his knee gave out and K.O was hesitant to continue with the match. Cody again ensured him that he was fine and it continued. K.O was looking for an Apron Powerbomb which he used quite frequently to injure wrestlers when he was a heel, but he didn't pull the trigger. All throughout the match, Owens was very hesitant to target Cody's knee and eventually his hesitation would cost him as Cody won the match. Following the bell, the pair shared a hug to establish that they still are friends following the match. CODY RHODES RETAINS THE UNDISPUTED WWE C...
