My thoughts on Raw: Opening match was good. Plus, having Curtis Axel get a cheap win was not only a shock but played into the storyline. However, with The Miz at ringside, I would have included him in the outside interference. Still works. Gallows/Anderson should be above the local talents at this point in their career. I understand there's injuries on Raw's tag team division to prevent a win against a contracted team, but get creative! I know you're capable of that. Love the launch to a single Matt Hardy career. Enjoyed Neville knocking Enzo backstage and capitalizing with a title rematch next week. Don't understand why this is the only cruiserweight appearance that night, though. Now I'm very, VERY upset about Dana Brooke ending Alexa's title run. I just felt it was random, made little sense, and wouldn't be my pick to end the reign of Alexa Bliss. Is it because Alexa beat 4 of the top women on Raw? I am trying to wrap my head around this, but yikes. The Shield tease is great! A strong way to end Monday Night Raw, and perhaps we do see it!! I'm looking forward to what you have in store. Appreciate the review! I'm a fan of Dana and I see big potential on her. I've got plans! Hopefully I can change your mind! That's the reason you book... Gotta change my mind! Something WWE has yet to do with Roman Reigns... |

 9/26/17 WWE... Then. Now. Forever... We are just 2 weeks away from the SmackDown exclusive PPV, Hell in a Cell! Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton, and Corey Graves welcomes everyone in attendance and watching at home. They then run down tonight's show and announce a mega main event! It's 6 Man Tag! The United States Champion, AJ Styles teams up with Shinsuke Nakamura, and Sami Zayn to take on the WWE Champion, Jinder Mahal, Baron Corbin, and Kevin Owens!
Charlotte vs. Lana
Charlotte took Lana to school in this one as she stayed on top of Lana all throughout the match. Lana managed to get some offense in after jumping off of the apron and pulling Charlotte throat first into the top rope. But just as all hope seemed lost for Charlotte, the Nature Girl dropped Lana to the canvas and submitted her with the Figure 8! As Charlotte began to celebrate, the SmackDown Women's Champion, Natalya made her way out and told Charlotte that her win was impressive, but it won't be as impressive as hers when she beats former champion, Naomi later tonight. Natalya holds the title up as she and Charotte have a stare down.
The Usos are shown somewhere backstage. They claim that they will be putting the "Hell" in Hell in a Cell when they face the New Day in 2 weeks at the SmackDown exclusive PPV. They vow to regain THEIR SmackDown Tag Team Championship.
Bobby Roode vs. Konnor w/ Viktor
This match was a hard hitting back and forth contest. Konnor displayed tremendous power as he slammed Roode all over the ring. But he couldn't put Bobby Roode away. And as Roode mounted a comeback, Viktor tried getting involved but Roode punched him off of the apron then followed up by spiking Konnor with the Glorious DDT and securing the win! After the match, Dolph Ziggler came out to Bobby Roode's theme and he even mocked his entrance. Ziggler took a mic and told Roode that no one would care who he was if it wasn't for his grand entrance. Ziggler told him that he would prove to the world at Hell in a Cell that Roode is a fraud. Roode challenged Ziggler to come to the ring but Ziggler turned his back to Roode and left.
Cameras go backstage to Daniel Bryan's office, and he is on the phone with his wife, Brie Bella when Kevin Owens walks in. Bryan gets off of the phone and has a stare down with Owens. Bryan breaks the ice and asks Owens what he wants. Owens tells Bryan that he knows exactly what he wants. He demands to know where Shane McMahon is. Bryan tells Owens that Shane isn't here tonight, and that he is with his father while he recuperates from what Bryan calls a cowardly attack by Kevin Owens. Owens tells Bryan that he should feel lucky, because what he did to Vince, is only a fraction of what he's going to do to Shane in 2 weeks inside Hell in a Cell. He then tells him that he'd have no problem doing what he did to Vince and what he's going to do to Shane to also Bryan, but he won't because he wants to save it all for Shane McMahon. Owens barges out of Daniel Bryan's office as Bryan looks on.
SmackDown Women's Champion, Natalya vs. Naomi
This one had a ton of back and forth action with a lot of near falls. Naomi displayed her never say die attitude as she kicked out of everything the champion was dishing out on her. Naomi mounted a comeback and went to the top rope where she attempted a split legged moonsault, but Natalya got her knees up! She then got to her feet and put Naomi in the Sharpshooter for the submission win. Natalya looked to add insult to injury as she kept her finisher locked in long after the bell. Charlotte rushed the ring to aid Naomi but Natalya fled the ring just before Charlotte could get to her. Natalya stood tall and raised her title as she bragged about her victory.
SmackDown Tag Team Champions, The New Day vs. The Hype Bros
Big E and Kofi Kingston represented the New Day in this one. At one point in the match, Big E and Mojo Rawley had an impressive stalemate when they did a battle of strength. Big E bested Mojo and hit a big belly to belly slam. When Zack Ryder got into the match, he took it to the Tag Team Champions, but ultimately fell short when Kofi Kingston dropped him with Trouble in Paradise from out of nowhere. The New Day picked up the win as Kofi pinned Ryder. After the match the New Day celebrated and after they left, Mojo helped Ryder to his feet, but he was on the receiving end of a low blow! Zack Ryder would then hit the Broski boot on Rawley, leaving him and the future of the Hype Bros out cold.
Rusev is shown backstage pacing. He says that he will submit his legacy when he leaves Randy Orton beaten in the center of the ring at Hell in a Cell. He says that he needs this win more than ever. Rusev says that it's time to forget all of his past accomplishments as he is looking for a fresh start. Rusev says that he will become the legend that kills the Legend Killer.
Main Event
6 Man Tag
United States Champion, AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, & Sami Zayn vs. WWE Champion, Jinder Mahal, Kevin Owens, & Baron Corbin
The match started with each team making quick tags to keep each other fresh, but an interference caused by the Singh brothers gave Jinder Mahal the opportunity his team needed. The WWE Champion and his team beat on Sami Zayn for most of the match. But Zayn managed to by sometime after popping up into an enziguri and taking out Mahal! Jinder Mahal made a tag to Kevin Owens and Zayn made a tag to AJ Styles. Shortly after, an all out brawl broke out between both teams. Kevin Owens would hit the Pop Up Powerbomb on Styles, but before making the pin, Shane McMahon's music hit! Shane rushed the ring and took Owens and himself over the ropes after hitting a big cross body, and with Kevin Owens being the legal man, the ref counted 10 and Styles, Nakamura, and Zayn picked up the huge victory. Shane and Owens battled through the crowd and vanished into the back. As AJ and Shinsuke celebrated their victory, they were jumped from behind by Mahal and Corbin! But the Phenomenal One and the King of Strong Style came out on top and disposed of their rivals. Mahal retreated with the Singh brothers as Corbin wanted to get back in the ring, but ultimately decided not to. The show went off the air with AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura standing tall.

Loved the SmackDown!! A big focus on the women's division is appreciated. I loved the Roode/Ziggler hype and how you also incorporated The Ascension in as a singles w/manager concept that WWE isn't wise enough to do. Big thing that stuck out was the Hype Bros split. I wouldn't have guessed Ryder would turn heel, but I hope this leads to somewhere good!! I love the idea of combining your 3 main feuds all in one match for the main event. That builds 3 matches at once and all seemed of equal value or of much importance. Nice job  Now, there's one more week until the HIAC Pay-Per-View, correct? I'd wish to wait another week to get a grasp on your booking before handing in my predictions. Is that alright, Chosen One? |

 10/2/17 WWE... Then. Now. Forever... The show starts with a recap of how Raw ended last week, the trio once known as the Shield stood tall after taking out Braun Strowman. Is a Shield reunion on the rise? Corey Graves gets the exclusive as he will interview Roman Reigns and the Raw Tag Team Champions, Seth Rolls and Dean Ambrose later tonight! Michael Cole, Corey Graves, and Booker T welcome everyone to the show, and they run down what's to come tonight! We have the Shield interview, and Enzo Amore makes his first Cruiserweight title defense against the former champion, Neville! Jason Jordan also looks for retribution as he takes on Bo Dallas! All this and much more tonight on Raw!
Bray Wyatt's graphic goes off and the lights go dark. The graphic flashes again and Bray is standing in the ring. He has an evil grin on his face as he looks out at the crowd. Bray takes a mic and says that he's had a lot of thinking to do lately. He says that for the first time in his life, he questioned himself. He says that he felt empty. So he spoke to "her." He says that Sister Abigail told him to find his rebirth, and to do that, he must have a sacrifice. Bray's tone turns dark as he glares into the camera. Bray vows to make a sacrifice here tonight! The lights go out as his graphic flashes again, and Bray Wyatt vanishes.
Nia Jax is backstage looking annoyed. Renee Young approaches her and asks Nia what her thoughts are on Raw having a new Women's Champion. Nia says that she can careless who the champion is. The only thing that she cares about is taking that title for herself. Nia looks away and begins to glare at something. Cameras pan over as Mickie James walks out of the locker room. The fans pop as Mickie approaches Nia with confidence. Mickie says that she wants to give Nia some advice, she should respect who the champion is, because if she doesn't, she'll never be able to win it. Nia tells Mickie that she talks a big game for somebody who hasn't accomplished a thing since she returned to WWE. Mickie tells Nia that she's right, and that she hasn't lived up to expectations since returning, but she wants to change that now. Starting tonight! Mickie challenges Nia to a one on one match. Nia smirks and chuckles before walking off.
Jason Jordan vs. Bo Dallas w/ Curtis Axel, Intercontinental Champion, the Miz, & Maryse
Jason Jordan showed a new side of aggression tonight as he took out both Curtis Axel and the Intercontinental Champion, the Miz before turning his attentions to the match. Jordan was taking care of business as he beat Dallas senseless around the ring, but Curtis Axel tried to interfere and just like last week, the Miztourage went for the shady victory. As Jordan disposed of Axel, Dallas rolled Jordan up, but only for a 2 count! Jordan would then comeback at Dallas and connect with the Jordan Slam! But Curtis Axel once again intervened and as the referee dealt with Axel, the Miz jumped in the ring and hit Jason Jordan with the Skull Crushing Finale! The Miz ducked out of the ring and Axel left the apron as Bo Dallas covered Jordan for the 3. After the Miztourage left the ring, Jason Jordan got to his feet and let his emotions loose on the referee. Jordan continued to argue with the referee until Kurt Angle came out. The Raw GM tried to calm his son down, and as all looked to be calming down, Jordan shocked everyone as he attacked his father from behind! Jason Jordan laid Kurt Angle out with a Jordan Slam!
Raw Women's Champion, Dana Brooke vs. Emma
This match was a test for the new Raw Women's champ. Both women displayed tremendous wrestling abilities in a long back and forth contest. But it was the new Raw Women's Champion who proved her doubters wrong after planting Emma with the Samoan Driver followed by a 3 count. Dana Brooke celebrated her victory and held her title high.
Still to come tonight, Corey Graves interviews Roman Reigns and the Raw Tag Team Champions, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose.
Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson vs. Apollo Crews & Akira Tozawa w/ Titus O'Neil
This match went back and forth for awhile with a lot of hot tags. Akira Tozawa was taken out mid match, but he managed to make the tag! Apollo Crews displayed tremendous athleticism as he took it to Gallows and Anderson with his partner down. But the numbers game quickly caught up to Crews as Gallows and Anderson would plant him with the Magic Killer and the 3 count. Post match, as Titus O'Neil checked on his partners, he too was on the receiving end of a Magic Killer. The Club members for a second week in a row made a statement as they continue their hunt for tag team gold.
We get a recap of what happened between Jason Jordan and Kurt Angle earlier tonight. Cameras go backstage to the parking lot as it seems Jordan is leaving the arena. Renee Young approaches him and tries to get a word but he ignores her and drives off.
Corey Graves is in the ring and he welcomes out the Raw Tag Team Champions, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. Roman Reigns is then introduced next. The crowd is going absolutely nuts as the former Shield members stand in the ring together. Graves says that he has to address the elephant in the room. He asks if we are on the eve of a Shield reunion. Is it happening? Reigns speaks up and says that as much as he would love to go to war withnhis brothers, the three of them are on different paths. He says that Rollins and Ambrose are having a hell of a time as the tag champs, and Reigns says that he's just doing him. Rollins grabs a mic and says that Reigns is right, but before he can get another word out, the Miz's theme hits! The Intercontinental Champion leads out the rest of the Miztourage onto the stage. The Miz says that he couldn't take it anymore. He says that this is nothing more than a 5 minutes of fame moment for the former Shield members. Miz says that the people don't want to see the Shield, they want to see him! They want to swe the most must see WWE Superstar of all time, the Intercontinental Champion, the Miz! The fans boo the Miz. Ambrose takes a mic and he says that if everyone wants to see the Miz and his title, then he should come to the ring and face him right now with the Intercontinental Championship on the line! The fans cheer. Miz says that he isn't going to give what the people want, instead... Curtis Axel marches to the ring.
Curtis Axel w/ Intercontinental Champion, the Miz, Maryse, & Bo Dallas vs. Raw Tag Team Champion, Dean Ambrose w/ Raw Tag Team Champion, Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns
Axel got in some early offense but it was Ambrose who pulled out all the stops. Rollins and Reigns kept Miz and Dallas from interfering and Ambrose capitalized with Dirty Deeds to pick up the 3 over Axel. The former members of the Shield stood tall.
Cameras go backstage and medical crews are scrambling to the locker room. Goldust, Heath Slater, and Elias are all out cold. The locker room is completely destroyed and painted on the wall is the mark of Wyatt.
Mickie James vs. Nia Jax
It was all Nia Jax in this one as she out muscled Mickie throughout the entire match. But Mickie's determination kept her in this one. She caught Nia with a Mick Kick but Nia did not go down. Mickie then went for the Mickie-DT but Nia held her in mid air and threw Mickie onto her shoulders. Nia planted Mickie with a Samoan drop and scored the 3 count. Nia looked to add insult to injury to the veteran, but Raw Women's Champion , Dana Brooke charged the ring! Dana began taking it to Nia, but Nia showed everyone why she isn't like most girls as she planted the champion with a Samoan drop. Nia stood over Dana and Mickie as the crowd let her hear it.
Main Event
Cruiserweight Championship
(C) Enzo Amore vs. Neville
Enzo tried to win this one the same way he won the title from Neville two weeks ago with rhe low blow, but Neville was ready for it. Neville beat Enzo Amore sensless all around and inside of the ring. As everything looked to be going Neville's way, Enzo Amore got the knees up as Neville attempted the Red Arrow. Enzo went for a cheap roll up as he pulled on the tights, but only got a 2 count! Later on in the match, Neville managed to lock in the Rings of Saturn! And Enzo tapped! Neville has regained the Cruiserweight Championship. As Neville begins to celebrate, replays air and they reveal that Enzo's foot was partially under the bottom rope! The regeree waives off the victory! Neville can't believe it as the match is then restarted. As the bell sounds, Enzo comes from behind and rolls Neville up! 1, 2, 3! Enzo Amore steals one from Neville as he retains the Cruiserweight Championship! Enzo snatches his title from the referee and quickly makes his exit as Neville looks irate. Raw goes off the air with Enzo holding the Cruiserweight Championship up on the stage while Neville looks on with rage.

10/3/17 WWE... Then. Now. Forever... The show begins with the WWE Champion, Jinder Mahal and the Singh brothers coming to the ring. The Modern Day Maharaja gets on the mic and talks about his upcoming title defense against Shinsuke Nakamura this Sunday at Hell in a Cell. He says that he will single handily destroy the hype fhat Shinsuke brought with him when he came to SmackDown Live. He asks that if Shinsuke is so great, than why has he yet to win anything meaningful? Mahal mocks Shinsuke's NXT title reigns, calling them short and meaningless. He says that everything Shinsuke Nakamura stands for, devalues SmackDown, and this Sunday he will put an end to it. Mahal's theme hits and he holds his title up.
SmackDown Tag Team Champion, Kofi Kingston w/ SmackDown Tag Team Champions, Big E & Xavier Woods vs. Jimmy Uso w/ Jey Uso
Just days before they meet inside the Hell in a Cell for the tag titles, the New Day's Kofi Kingston went toe to toe with Jimmy Uso in a singles match. Kofi fed off the energy of the crowd and his teammates as he took it to Jimmy throughout most of the match, but Jey Uso caused a distraction on the outside as he tried to attack Xavier Woods. Big E intervened and stopped Jey, but the slight distraction caused Kofi's attentions to turn away from the match for long enough as Jimmy Uso obliterated him with the super kick and the 3. The Usos celebrated on stage as Big E and Woods helped Kofi to his feet. The Usos taunted that they will reclaim the gold come Sunday inside the cell.
Charlotte is shown backstage getting ready for her match later tonight against Carmella, when Ms. Money in the Bank herself approaches her with James Ellsworth. Carmella tells Charlotte that she should be ready for her tonight, because if she is lucky enough to beat Natalya on Sunday, she might not be so lucky when Carmella cashes in and becomes the new SmackDown Women's Champion. Carmella walks off with Ellsworth as Charlotte looks unimpressed.
Tye Dillinger vs. Baron Corbin
Corbin absolutely manhandled Dillinger in this one. Corbin connected with both the Deep Six and End of Days early in the match, but he wanted to send a message to the US Champion, AJ Styles as he continued to destroy Tye Dillinger. The referee called for the bell and declared Corbin the winner after Corbin hit Dillinger with 3 chokeslams in a row. After the match, Corbin wasn't done. He grabbed a steel chair and wrapped it in Dillinger's ankle. But before he could finish his attack, AJ Styles rushes to the ring. AJ and Corbin begin going at it and as AJ disposes of Corbin, he turns to help Dillinger. But Corbin quickly comes back and attacks AJ again! Chokeslam! Baron Corbin stands over AJ Styles and Tye Dillinger.
Rusev is shown backstage. Like last week, he says that he needs to prove himself and defeat Randy Orton. If he fails, he says he will leave WWE. Rusev has a twisted look in his eye.
Shane McMahon's theme hits and the fans go nuts. But the cheers quickly turn to boos as someone dressed as Shane runs out onto the stage. The fake Shane begins to dance on stage as he mocks the SmackDown Live Commissioner. Kevin Owens suddenly appears and attacks the actor from behind! Owens ruthlessly beats down the actor and he ends his attack by hitting a gruesome powerbomb off of the stage! Owens looks like a man possessed as he looks at the carnage caused by his own hands. Many rush to the aid of the actor, including Daniel Bryan. Bryan gets in Owens' face and screams at him to leave. Owens slowly backs off and exits as the actor is tended to.
Charlotte vs. Carmella w/ James Ellsworth
This was an exciting back and forth contest. Charlotte looked to put Carmella away after hitting a big spinebuster! But Ellsworth climbed to the apron and caused a distraction. Carmella mounted a comeback, and snuck several dirty moves in as she tried to put away Charlotte. But Charlotte displayed a never say die attitude and she eventually locked in the Figure 8, resulting in Carmella tapping. Post match, Natalya walked out onto the stage and raised her title as she and Charlotte had a stare down.
Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Aiden English
English mounted some early offense, but once Shinsuke Nakamura got going, there was no looking back. Nakamura picked up the win after hitting English with Kinshasa. Post match, Jinder Mahal and the Singh brothers came out and Mahal sicked the brothers on Shinsuke, but Shinsuke held his own and cleared the ring. Jinder Mahal talked trash as Shinsuke celebrated in the ring.
Bobby Roode vs. Luke Harper
This was an exciting matchup with a ton of big spots. Harper showed impressive athleticism at one point by diving through the ropes and taking Roode out on the outside. But after nailing a superplex, Bobby Roode managed to make a comeback and win with the Glorious DDT. Dolph Ziggler tried to attack Roode post match, but he never got into the ring as the Glorious One saw him coming.
Kevin Owens is shown in the parking lot preparing to leave the building. But just before getting into his car, Shane McMahon comes from out of nowhere and tackles him onto the hood! The two begin trading numerous blows. Owens manages to hit a knee to the gut and he shoves Shane away. Owens then charges at him but Shane side steps and using Owens' own momentum, he throws KO head first into a car window! The window shatters and Owens is busted open. Shane yells at Owens, asking him what it feels like to bleed. He starts teeing off on Owens as he nails punch after punch on Owens' open wound. Shane looks for that knock out punch but Owens ducks then delivers a super kick! Shane is knocked down and Owens scrambles to his car. As Shane tries to get back up, Owens speeds off and leaves the arena. Shane looks on and he looks more than ready for their Hell in a Cell match this Sunday! SmackDown goes off the air.
