April Week 2, Year 1


NXT
Match 1. Finn Balor vs. JBL

Match 2. Paige vs. Emma
The original "Divas" Revolution. Paige countered a fisherman suplex into a roll-up and they went back and forth. Paige landed multiple kicks to Emma's back. Emma landed a sit-out powerbomb. She later locked in the Dil-Emma. Emma won with a second diving cross body.

What an upset. Paige had this won a couple of times. Emma could see a title shot in a few weeks.

Match 3. The Vaudevillains vs. Enzo and Cass

Match 4. Rusev vs. Ricky Steamboat

Match 5. 4-Way - The Rock vs. Hideo Itami vs. Edge vs. Dolph Ziggler
So many different styles. The Rock and Edge in NXT? Nice. Edge sent Hideo to the outside. Ziggler landed a release German suplex and side dropkick on The Rock. They then went to the outside as Edge landed the Edge-O-Matic on Hideo and won.

Edge stole that win. Smart to keep that match short, though.

Match 6. Brock Lesnar vs. Bray Wyatt
Wow. Brock immediately locked in an arm bar. Bray grabbed a sledgehammer, but Lesnar caught him from behind with a back suplex. Bray grabbed the weapon and hit Lesnar multiple times in the ribs. Bray went for a crossbody, but Lesnar caught him and hit the F5 to win.

Dominant win for Lesnar. Who is going to stand in his way?

WWF
Match 1. Shawn Michaels vs. The Miz
Can Miz even the score? Miz landed a running hangman and falling neck breaker. Michaels locked in a modified Figure 4. He landed a moonsault and diving elbow drop, but Miz still kicked out. Miz ducked the Sweet Chin Music. A little while later, Michaels hit the super kick and won.

HBK - 2, Miz - 0. This doesn't look good. After the match, HBK went for a handshake, but Miz left in frustration.

Match 2. Dean Ambrose vs. Rick Rude

Match 3. Prime Time Players vs. New Day

Match 4. Ryback vs. Roman Reigns
Two young stars battle it out. Ryback quickly took Reigns to the outside. He broke up the count, and Reigns took control. Back in the ring, hit a tilt-a-whirl slam. Ryback hit the Meat Hoom clothesline and Shell Shock, but Reigns kicked out. Reigns busted Ryback open with a Superman punch. Ryback hit a second Meat Hook and won.

This was a war. Ryback got the win, but Reigns isn't done yet.

Match 5. Triple H vs. Booker T

Match 6. John Cena vs. Batista
Batista dead lifted Cena and landed a powerbomb. Cena came back with some tilt-a-whirl slams and sunset flip powerbomb. He then connected with the AA, but Batista kicked out. Cena remained on offense and won with a sit-out powerbomb.

Super Cena, amirite?

Recap: I'm surprised at the short 4-way match. Michaels is dominating Miz and Ryback manhandled Reigns.

April Week 1, Year 1

Here we go. Week 1.

NXT
Match 1. Zack Ryder vs. Heath Slater

Match 2. Ricky Steamboat vs. Fit Finay

Match 3. Ken Shamrock vs. Jack Swagger

Match 4. Elimination - Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady vs. Konnor and Viktor
The Ascension hit Cass with two Fall of Man finishers, but he kicked out. After a huge uppercut, Viktor eliminated Cass, leaving Enzo by himself. He didn't last long as Viktor hit a superplex and sitout double underhook powerbomb to win.

Dominant win by The Ascension. They are atop the tag rankings.

Match 5. Falls Count Anywhere - Daniel Bryan vs. Baron Corbin
Big size difference with these two. Bryan brought in a ladder and suplexed Corbin onto it. He later connected with his kicks to the chest and head. The match spilled to the outside. Corbin busted Bryan open with a chair shot. Baron won after a sidewalk slam and the End of Days.

Impressive match by both men. We haven't seen the last of these two.

Match 6. Finn Balor vs. Bo Dallas
Balor came out firing. He landed a falling kick and got a near fall. Balor kicked Bo out of the ring and hit an STO. Bo landed a tornado DDT and a double-arm DDT, but Balor kicked out. He hit the Coup de Grace, but Bo kicked out. Balor landed a sit-out powerbomb to win.

Balor escapes with the win. Bo gave it everything he had. Future title match?

SuperStars
Match 1. Ryback vs. Christian

Match 2. The New Day vs. Goldust and Stardust
E and Stardust went to the outside early. Kofi hit the Boom Drop, but Stardust was able to kick out. Big E and Kofi hit a flapjack/DDT combo on Stardust. Stardust hit Cosmic Wasteland, but Kofi kicked out. Big E came in and landed a super fall away slam and Big E splash. New Day hit their tag finisher a second time and won.

Stardust failed to get to his corner to tag Goldust. Could that have cost them a title shot?

Match 3. R-Truth vs. Adam Rose

Match 4. Shawn Michaels vs. The Miz
Miz landed some punches and a snapmare driver, but Michaels kicked out. After spending some time outside the ring, Michaels connected with a snap DDT and Sweet Chin Music. He then hit a huge moonsault, but Miz kicked out. Miz fought back, but HBK landed back-to-back super kicks to win.

Michaels proves why he is the icon, show stopper and main event. Three super kicks, though?

Match 5. John Cena vs. Kane

Match 6. Seth Rollins vs. Chris Jericho
Jericho slapped the disrespect off the Rollins' face. He kept the offense going with a moonsault and superplex. After a suplex, Rollins went to the top rope. He jumped off, but Jericho caught him with a Codebreaker, but Rollins kicked out! Rollins threw Jericho up in the air and caught him with the Pedigree. Jericho won with a second Codebreaker.

Jericho is still the best in the world. Good main event.

Recap: That was week 1 of my Universe. There are so many new matchups that I can't wait to exploit. The championship matches will take place at the end of the month.

WWE 2K16 Universe Guidelines and Roster

In my Universe, there are two brands. NXT and WWF Superstars. Yes, I'm using WWF.

Each show will have six matches, a total of 12. I will sim six and watch six. The six I will watch are either rivalry matches or big-time matchups that are can't miss.

NXT does not have a PPV event each month. They will be a part of some of the bigger PPV events. Superstars will have a PPV event each month.

There will be very little brand crossover, unless it has to do with the draft lottery.

The champions will be decided by a tournament that will culminate at the end of the first month.
