Payback 2017 Recap & Review
Payback 2017 had a number of good matches, and one match that will go down in history as unwatchable (in my opinion).
Tag: Alexa Bliss
RAW Recap & Review – Episode 1248
This pretty good episode of RAW was about 50/50 for good and underwhelming segments.
RAW Recap & Review – Episode 1247
An okay show highlighted by a memorable (if somewhat recycled) moment.
RAW Recap & Review – Episode 1246
The Superstar Shakeup has a lot of new faces appearing on RAW, and though that made for a mildly interesting show, the real quantity of actual shaking will probably not be seen for a while.
SmackDown Recap & Review – Episode 920
The first SmackDown Live after a Wrestlemania was good. It might not have felt quite as energetic as RAW, but it had quite possibly the best moment of the past few days with the extremely exciting debut of Shinsuke Nakamura!
Wrestlemania 2017 – Recap & Review
This is a very long show, and with any show of this length, there are good and not so good parts. Overall, this is probably a middle-of-the-road Wrestlemania, but there is definitely some fun to be had here. Watching it all in one sitting might leave you a bit exhausted though.
SmackDown Recap & Review – Episode 916
Lots more talking on this episode of SmackDown, but the main event match worked to make this a show definitely worth watching.
SmackDown Recap & Review – Episode 915
Last week, no one was set to face Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania, but with this week’s SmackDown two people have a claim to a title match. Also, John Cena makes the best of a less than ideal situation (for everyone involved), Becky Lynch and Mickie James manage to squeeze three tiny matches into one normal match, Apollo Crews and Dolph Ziggler get really angry with each other, and more on this okay, but less than ideal episode of SmackDown.
SmackDown Recap & Review – Episode 914
This was a SmackDown with potential, but unfortunately the execution wasn’t there.
SmackDown Recap & Review – Episode 913
Bray Wyatt is forced to give both AJ Styles and John Cena a title match in an episode of SmackDown that was entertaining more for the few good matches than the rather forgettable talking segments.
Elimination Chamber Recap & Review
A pretty good show that god better towards the end. A few matches felt like they were looking past this show and towards Wrestlemania, but the last few matches of the night made up for that.
Royal Rumble Kickoff Recap & Review
Though it felt long at two hours, the three matches helped make this a pretty good way to kick off the 2017 Royal Rumble.
SmackDown Recap & Review – Episode 899
Team SmackDown gets shaken up less than two weeks before Survivor Series, and Becky Lynch puts her title on the line against Alexa Bliss.
SmackDown Recap & Review – Episode 898
This episode of SmackDown had a good main event with Dean Ambrose’s last chance to get a World Title shot, but the rest of the show felt a little lacking.
SmackDown Recap & Review – Episode 897
Randy Orton changes the direction of his feud with Bray Wyatt, team members are decided for Survivor Series, the tag titles are on the line, and James Ellworth attempts to help Dean Ambrose in his match with AJ Styles in a good episode of SmackDown.

SmackDown Recap & Review – Episode 895
AJ Styles picks his next opponent, the Wyatt Family is (mostly) back together, The Miz isn’t done with Dolph Ziggler, and more on a packed and entertaining episode of SmackDown.
No Mercy Recap & Review
This year’s No Mercy was pretty good, with the good matches being very good. The placement of matches seemed odd, but that didn’t hurt the show too much.
No Mercy Kickoff Recap & Review
A big eight-man tag match featuring American Alpha, Hype Bros, The Vaudevillains, and The Ascension served as a good warmup for the second SmackDown Live PPV.
SmackDown Recap & Review – Episode 894
On the last stop before No Mercy, this SmackDown was packed with stuff, though it felt a lot like a glorified promo for the PPV. Which I suppose it kind of is.
