NXT TakeOver: Unstoppable, Year 4

A great lineup of the top Superstars competing.

Match 1. Enzo and Big Cass vs. Rhyno and Heath Slater
Rhyno caught Cass with a powerbomb. He then drove his knees into the face of Enzo. Slater finally got into the match and he and Enzo went back and forth. They even fought on the outside. Enzo pinned Slater after a running cross body.

A good opening match. Rhyno may want to break away from Slater.

Match 2. The Club vs. Prime Time Players - NXT Tag Team Championship
Young came out strong against Anderson. Gallows caught Titus with a big boot and a side flapjack. The Club took over on Young.  They hit the Magic Killer but Titus broke it up. Anderson busted Darren open with a cutter. Titus got a near fall on Gallows after a pump handle slam. Darren pinned Gallows after a leg sweep and running leg drop.

Gallows and Anderson's title reign did not last as long as they would have liked.

Match 3. Brooke vs. Jax vs. Lynch vs. James - NXT Women's Championship
Dana will have a hard time retaining in this match. Mickie took Nia to the outside but Jax pulled out a baseball bat. Becky hit a back suplex and running knees in the corner. Dana hit a neck breaker off the second rope. Nia pinned Mickie with a super kick.

Dana was focused on Becky and not worried about losing her title. Nia capitalizes.

Match 4. Kevin Nash vs. John Cena
Cena quickly hit a hip toss and sit-out powerbomb. Nash landed a suplex but Cena landed one of his own before connecting with the 5 Knuckle Shuffle. Nash hit a clothesline. He went for a knockout punch but Cena ducked and hit the AA to win.

I can't remember the last time Nash lost that quickly.

Match 5. Neville vs. Booker T - NXT UK Championship
Neville quickly sent Booker to the outside and landed some kicks. Booker hit a back breaker. Neville came back with a double stomp from the top. Booker got a couple of near falls and one more after the scissors kick. Neville was making his comeback before Booker countered a hurricanrana into a powerbomb and won the title.

A great match. Two completely different styles. Booker is the new champ.

Match 6. AJ Styles vs. Bray Wyatt
Bray tossed AJ around. AJ landed a heel kick and a super fallaway slam. Bray hit a second-rope senton. AJ fought back and hit the Styles Clash but Bray kicked out. Bray dodged the Pele kick and hit the uri nagi. Bray landed Sister Abigail but AJ kicked out at the last second. AJ won with a second Styles Clash.

Neither man was going to go down easily. AJ gets a big win.

Main Event. Seth Rollins vs. Triple H vs. Scott Hall - NXT Championship
We've seen this before. Can Trips get his title back? H was aggressive early, taking out both of his opponents. Hall grabbed a bat and hit Trips over the head. H then used the bat on Hall. Hall and Trips hit Rollins with a double chokeslam. There were multiple Pedigrees and Outsider's Edges. Rollins even busted out the Buckle Bomb. H Pedigreed Rollins, allowing Hall to hit Trips with a chokeslam to win.

Holy crap. What a main event. The first one was good but this blew it out of the water. Say hello to the Bad Guy.

Recap: A solid PPV where all four titles changed hands. A big shake-up.

August Week 1, Year 4

Big Show walked out before the match started. Cesaro opened with a huge uppercut. As they were fighting, Big Show distracted Cesaro, allowing Hideo to take over. He landed a few kicks. Hideo landed the hesitation dropkick in the corner and won with the GTS.

A big win for Hideo, someone who's been stalling a bit. Cesaro will get revenge on Show.

Match 4. Neville vs. Seth Rollins

Balor landed the shotgun dropkick. Bray cut off Balor's dive. Balor busted Bray open on the ramp. He then won with Bloody Sunday.

AJ walked back out and stared down Bray.

Bray was not ready to face Balor and it showed. Was AJ faking the injury?

Raw is War's Vengeance, Year 4

Match 1. Breezango vs. Natural Disasters
Breezango has had ND's number in recent months. Breeze kicked out the legs of Typhoon. The big men recovered and beat down Breeze. Fandango was able to take down Earthquake. Breeze came back in and connected with the Beauty Shot to win.

Earthquake grabbed a mic and said, "After this loss, they are done."

That's three in a row for Breezango over ND. I can't believe they would just quit like that.

Match 2. Charlotte vs. Paige vs. Bayley - Raw Women's Championship
Bayley and Paige worked over Charlotte. Charlotte blocked Ram-Paige into a suplex and then hit Bayley with a delayed suplex. Paige hit Bayley with the Paige Turner and landed a dive to the outside on Charlotte. Bayley took out Paige with the Belly-to-Bayley. Charlotte tossed out Bayley and pinned Paige to retain her title.

Bayley let this one slip away as she couldn't capitalize. Charlotte did it with flair.

Dawson locked Kofi in an arm bar and hit Woods with a German suplex. Woods landed a back breaker and STO on Wilder. Kofi got a near fall after a Boom Drop on Dawson. Scott came back with a huge spine buster. Wilder planted Woods with the Codebreaker to win.

The feud finally ends with The Revival keeping the titles.

After the match, Rude continued stomping on Austin.

Rude picks up a big win over his former stablemate.

Match 5. Big Show vs. Cesaro - Intercontinental Championship
Cesaro countered a press slam but Show was right back on offense. Show then got a near fall after a spear. Cesaro went to the top but Show caught him with a chokeslam and won with the knockout punch.

Show pretty much squashed Cesaro. A poor outing for the Swiss Superman.

Match 6. Edge vs. Mark Henry
Henry landed a back breaker and big boot. As soon as Edge got to his feet, Henry took him down. Edge hit a DDT but Henry got right up and hit a Samoan Drop and World's Strongest Slam but Edge kicked out. Henry kicked out of the Edge-cution and made him tap with a bear hug.

Henry was just too strong. Edge could barely keep him on the ground.

Main Event. Shawn Michaels vs. Batista - WWF Championship
Michaels countered a press slam into a DDT. He then hit a superplex and a diving elbow for a long two count. Batista was going for a clothesline but Michaels tossed him up and connected with the Sweet Chin Music for another near fall. Batista landed the spine buster and went for the Batista Bomb but Michaels reversed it into a neck breaker. Batista hit a super back suplex. HBK hit a piledriver and a second superkick to get the win.

A great main event. Batista was slow early but he landed some big moves to put Michaels' title reign at risk but HBK does it again.

Recap: A good PPV. Despite no title changes, there were some great matches. I guess the Natural Disasters are done.

Match 4. Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus

Main Event. Brock Lesnar vs. Kurt Angle

Recap: Angle wants his title back. Contenders are making names for themselves.

Impact Bound for Glory, Year 4

Match 1. Goldust vs. Jason Jordan
I guess we'll get Truth and Gable next? Jordan tossed Goldy around before Goldust took over. Jordan hit an overhead belly-to-belly suplex and later won with an Angle Slam.

Not the best opening match. The young guy at least got over.

Match 2. Asuka vs. Alicia Fox vs. Natalya - Impact Women's Championship
Asuka and Nattie hit Fox with simultaneous kicks. The three women fought for a bit on the outside. Fox hit Nattie with a somersault leg drop. She later hit the leg drop DDT and had her feet on the ropes but Nattie kicked out. Asuka took out Fox with kicks, allowing Nattie to hit Asuka with a discus clothesline to win.

A surprisingly good three-way. Nattie is the new champion. Will she be the only one?

Match 3. Luke Harper vs. Baron Corbin - X-Division Championship
Two of the big men fighting for the X-Division title. Kinda funny. Harper caught Corbin with a wheelbarrow suplex. He then hit a pump handle suplex and lifting face buster. Corbin hit a sidewalk slam. Harper went for a dive but it was blocked. Harper was back in control when Corbin landed the End of Days out of nowhere to retain.

A good title match. Harper let this one slip from his hands.

They went back and forth for the first couple of minutes. Ohno got a near fall after a suplex. He then drove his elbow into the back of Dean's head. Ambrose hit a powerbomb and a superplex to the outside. Ohno won with a second elbow to the head.

A decent match that could have been a lot better.

Bryan hit more kicks and connected with a diving elbow. Sheamus caught Bryan in mid-air with the Brogue Kick. Bryan hit six more kicks but couldn't keep Sheamus down.

What a group here. Flair pulled out a bat and hit Angle multiple times. Angle hit Brock with a German suplex, a move we'll likely see a few more times. Flair wore down Nakamura on the outside. Angle hit three more Germans. Nakamura hit one of his own. Flair DDT'd him onto the apron. Brock hit Angle with three before getting the win.

This is a stacked co-main event. Goldberg hit Joe with a bat. Joe returned the favor. Braun pummeled Zayn on the outside. He hit the pump handle piledriver. Goldberg powerbombed Joe on the outside. Braun hit a second piledriver to get the win.
