Welcome to this review of this past Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, right here on Nerdly. Let’s see what went down on this week’s show!
Match #1: #DIY def. The Creed Brothers The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Despite dominating during their time in Nxt, Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa have never had a match at WrestleMania, and this seemingly spurned them to leave it all on the line. Brutus and Julius Creed wowed the WWE Universe, especially when Julius lifted from his knees into a standing vertical suplex, showcasing his raw strength. The Creed Brothers continued their punishing attack, sending Ciampa through the announce table area and leaving Pat McAfee speechless. Julius and Brutus caught their opponents with tandem ankle locks, but Ciampa and Gargano countered into a Sicilian Stretch and Gargano Escape. Gargano scored the pinfall after both teams went back-and-forth with pin attempts.

A lot of really fun movies from the eighties and nineties are tough to get decent copies of. While some of the stories have happy endings, other films seem all but doomed to languish until a niche label like Arrow Video, Kino Lorber, or Unearthed Films gives them the TLC they deserve. So, what’s the title we’re worried is Gone Forever here at JoBlo? A cool little thriller (which I previously wrote up for Best Movie You Never Saw) from 1991 called Ricochet has a pretty impressive pedigree. The movie stars Denzel Washington, John Lithgow, Ice-t, Kevin Pollack and The Bionic Woman herself, Lindsay Wagner, while Highlander’s Russell Mulcahy directs it, is produced by Joel Silver, and is written by Die Hard’s Steven E De Souza. In fact, Ricochet takes place in the same universe as Die Hard, with Mary Ellen Trainor reprising her role as snoopy TV reporter Gale Wallens.

Match #1: Cody Rhodes def. The Miz The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
After humiliating The Miz last week on “Miz TV,” Cody Rhodes took on The A-Lister. Rhodes reached deep into his bag of tricks, hitting a Side Effect on The Awesome One that rocked the former WWE Champion. The Miz kept up the resolve, hitting spiked DDTs, but Miz could not put away Rhodes. In the closing stages, Rhodes put away Miz with a Cody Cutter followed by the Cross Rhodes.
My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: Becky Lynch def. Chelsea Green The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
In a bid to show her why she’s famous, Becky Lynch faced Chelsea Green in front of Zoey Stark.

Match #1: Becky Lynch def. Sonya Deville The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Becky Lynch has had plenty of issues with Trish Stratus and Zoey Stark as of late, but The Man proved she could overcome their meddling to punch her ticket to Money in the Bank. Sonya Deville started strong, but as Lynch flipped the script the WWE Hall of Famer and her newcomer sidekick entered the picture.

Welcome to this week’s review of Nxt, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and there’s some good stuff on this bad ol’ puppy dog, so let’s get to the good stuff.
Match #1: Aleister Black def. Roderick Strong The following is courtesy of WWE.com:
In the battle of blistering kicks and spine-wrecking backbreakers, Aleister Black and Roderick Strong elicited plenty of “oohs” and “ahhs” from the Full Sail Live crowd this week. The hard-hitting encounter saw both Superstars plaster each other with dizzying offense. The Messiah of the Backbreaker lived up to his moniker, tattooing the back of The Dutch Destroyer with a thunderous backdrop atop the steel rings steps. Strong continued the onslaught inside the yellow ropes, steeping Black’s back with punishing submission holds and, yes, more backbreakers. As if the backdrop over the steel steps hadn’t already caused damage, Strong...

Welcome to this week’s Smackdown Live review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have Nxt’s biggest stars invading Smackdown to…make money…I think. Screw it. As long as Rian Johnson doesn’t show up to call people that didn’t like his plot-hole ridden Star Wars: The Last Jedi “man-babies” (never-mind the fact that those people make it possible for him to not have to get a real job) then we should be fine. By the way, Steve Carell annoys the $#!@ out of me, even though I really like him. All right, let’s wrestle.
Match #1: Aleister Black def. Andrade The following is courtesy of WWE.com:
Following his incredibly impressive showing against Elias last night on Raw, former Nxt Champion Aleister Black made his SmackDown Live debut against a Superstar with whom he shares considerable history from their time in the black-and-yellow brand: Andrade.

Match #1: Braun Strowman def. Baron Corbin (Tables Match) The following is courtesy of WWE.com:
Baron Corbin can always be counted on for a good strategy, though without his friends at his side, his luck doesn’t tend to match up. Facing a very angry Braun Strowman in a Tables Match, the former General Manager-Elect of Monday Night Raw relentlessly worked the battered ribs of his longtime foe, stayed on the attack after a strong opening and kept the action as far away from any stray tables as he could in the hopes of whittling Strowman down to claim the win the win. It didn’t work, but it was enough to make things interesting.

Welcome to this edition of The Last Week In Wrestling, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Imhotep must not be awakened or the 10 Plagues of Egypt shall destroy the world! Does that look as stupid as it felt to write it? I’d erase it but the budget still isn’t large enough to make a purchase of the delete button possible. Anyway, we have a bunch of stuff to get to, so let’s get to it.
Best Promo:
Resist and Refuse (Impact) – Rich Swann and Sami Callihan were involved in another good promo that saw Swann choose to not join oVe. This feud is slowly turning into some-thing that has big potential, but we’re also only still in the beginning of it all.

Welcome to this edition of The Last Week In Wrestling, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and there’s lots of great wrestling to cover, so let’s get right to it. Also, I’m going to change the match ratings into a ranking list of the top 10, so I can pretend I know how to make this column suspenseful.
Best Promo:
Fallen Angel Rises Again (Ring of Honor) – Christopher Daniels cut another great promo that was like the sequel to his promo about wanting to be the Roh World Champion from a year or so ago. I was tempted to go the popular route with Seth Rollins’ “pipe-bomb” promo, but Daniels stuck to the rules of promos to sell folks on every match he has left in his career, while the “pipe-bomb” was exciting but mostly just for show.

Well tonight’s the night, the “fresh start” for WWE following the risible ratings of the past few weeks and the disdain the fans have for the current WWE product. Will Mr. McMahon’s appearance tonight really turn things around? Read on to find out!
Match #1: Kurt Angle, Apollo Crews & Raw Tag Team Champions Chad Gable & Bobby Roode def. Baron Corbin (No Disqualification Handicap Match) The following is courtesy of WWE.com:
Never let it be said the McMahon family isn’t a sporting clan. Despite the WWE Universe’s overwhelming desire to see Baron Corbin hit the bricks, WWE’s first family gave The Lone Wolf one final chance to win the permanent Raw General Manager gig … provided he won his way back to the position. To put it lightly, it did not go well. While Corbin certainly held his own against his originally announced opponent, Kurt Angle,...

Match #1: Nikki Cross def. Amber Nova The following is courtesy of WWE.com:
Looking to make a lasting impression on the Nxt Universe, Amber Nova — a ’73 Chevy-driving daughter of a mechanic — showed no trepidation going against one of the black-and-yellow brand’s most unpredictable Superstars, Nikki Cross. After suffering some of Nova’s aggressive offense, the psychotic Scot came unhinged. She clawed at her own face and pounded her chest in between knocking down Nova with hard clotheslines. As the Nxt fans chanted her name, Cross took flight with a high cross body block and then pinned Nova after hitting the Purge. The classic...
