TJP finally gets the title shot he’s been waiting for in an episode of 205 Live that also featured an apparently definitive end to the Dar/Alexander/Fox saga.
This was a good show that featured the SmackDown Live debut of Lana, a rematch between Styles and Ziggler, and a first time on SmackDown bout between Owens and Nakamura!
Tonight’s show was light on wrestling with the exceptions of a nice opener and closer, but there were a few good moments including a memorable segment featuring Paul Heyman confronting Samoa Joe.
A good main event couldn’t help this year’s Extreme Rules from being only an average show. Some of the matches were not good at all and some were forgettable, but at least the show ended on a good note.
Kalisto faces Apollo Crews in a decent Kickoff for this year’s Extreme Rules.
It feels like we were just watching a WWE PPV, but there’s another one just hours away. Will Extreme Rules stand out from the crowd, or will it be another show we’ll forget about in a week or two?
This episode of Main Event was definitely lacking. Drew Gulak faced Lince Dorado in a match with an unfortunate ending, and Slater & Rhyno faced Dallas & Hawkins in a match that was completely unremarkable.
A few solid matches and a little story development make this an NXT easily worth watching.
This felt like a pre-show for Extreme Rules (which it kind of is), but it still managed to have a couple of decent matches.
Money in the Bank continues to get shaped as Shane McMahon makes a historic announcement, New Day makes their SmackDown Live debut, and the competitors in the WWE Title Contract Money in the Bank match clash once again.
This was an okay show with a few good matches, but a handful of not so great matches and segments.
This week’s show was basically a recap of Takeover: Chicago, but it did contain the debut of the Velveteen Dream and a decent match between McIntyre and Blake.
The Brian Kendrick and Akira Tozawa meet in a memorable street fight to try to settle their differences.
Even though half the matches on this show were nearly exactly the same, I enjoyed this show. The competitors for the 2017 Money in the Bank match are named (and fight) and Breezango works their way into a tag title rematch!
It was quantity mostly over quality on this episode of RAW packed with ten matches. There were some highlights of the night though, including Matt Hardy versus Sheamus and a tag main event with four of the five competitors in the upcoming number one contender match.
This year’s Backlash wasn’t great, but it did have some entertaining matches and a few mild surprises.
The Backlash 2017 Kickoff show was an average opener, featuring Aiden English versus Tye DIllinger.
NXT bounces back from an average Takeover in April to put on a great show in Chicago!
Tyler Bate puts his title on the line against Mark Andrews in a great match that highlights an entertaining show featuring some of the WWE UK stars and a few of the Cruiserweights.
The final stop before Takeover: Chicago didn’t have much in the way of new developments, but it was an okay show regardless.
