Kevin Owens attacked Edde from behind. Kane landed a chokeslam, but Eddie kicked out. Eddie hit a sit-out powerbomb, but Kane quickly went back on offense. Kane grabbed Eddie by the head and squeezed the temple to make him tap.

Kane gets the cheap win after the Owens pre-match attack.

Main Event. Dolph Ziggler vs. Sami Zayn
Tyson Kidd made his way to the ring before the match started. Zayn hit a huge back breaker and a sit-out from slam. He pulled out the Blue Thunder Bomb, but Ziggler kicked out. Dolph connected with a super kick. Ziggler left the ring and went after Kidd, but Zayn attacked him. After some back and forth, Zayn won with a northern lights suplex.

This could have been a better match without Kidd at ringside. The mid-card is developing nicely.

NXT

Match 1. Adam Rose vs. Bo Dallas

Match 2. Tye Dillinger vs. Elias Samson vs. Andrade 'Cien' Almas

Match 3. Apollo Crews vs. Austin Aries

Match 4. No Way Jose and Rich Swann vs. Authors of Pain

Jose hit a super German suplex. He went for another attack, but Akam caught him and slammed him down with one arm. Swann landed a package side slam and won.

Main Event. Ric Flair vs. Dusty Rhodes


TNA

Match 4. Alberto Del Rio vs. Bobby Lashley

Main Event. Kurt Angle vs. James Storm
After blocking a suplex, Storm connected with a Codebreaker. Angle landed a huge belly-to-back suplex and three German suplexes. There was a lot of action in a short amount of time. He then kept Storm grounded with more suplexes and submissions. Angle won with the Olympic Slam.

It was a good opening, but Angle took control and never let up.

ROH

Match 1. Zack Sabre Jr vs. Shelton Benjamin

Match 2. R. Strong vs. TJ Perkins vs. C. Alexander vs. J. Morrison
Cedric hit Strong with a neck breaker over the top rope. Perkins hit a sit-out powerbomb on Morrison. He hit a slingshot suplex and locked in a modified Sharpshooter. Cedric hit Perkins with a brain buster and hit Morrison with the Kick to Kill and won.

That was a quick, but great 4-way match. All men looked good.

Match 3. Aerostar vs. Mil Muertes vs. Tyler Reks

Match 4. Adam Cole vs. Jay Lethal

Main Event. Matt Sydal vs. Drago

Recap: There were some quick matches, but still told a good story. Now, time for TNA/ROH's exclusive show.

NXT/ECWCW TakeOver: Dallas, Year 3

Match 1. Apollo Crews vs. Austin Aries
Aries hit a back suplex and discus elbow. He then countered a slam and hit a brain buster. Crews landed three consecutive powerbombs, but got a near fall. Aries connected with a huge 450 splash and won.

That was a fun opening match.

Match 2. Asuka vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Emma vs. Becky Lynch - NXT Women's Championship

Becky pulled out a bat and hit Emma. All four women were fighting on the outside. Becky dodged a dive and locked Emma in an armbar. Alexa hit Asuka with a missile dropkick. Alexa and Emma were back on the outside as Becky hit Asuka with a t-bone suplex and won.

Wow. I wasn't expecting Asuka to get pinned. Good for Becky, though.

Match 3. Wyatt Family vs. Gargano and Ciampa - NXT Tag Team Championsip
Even though they're on Raw, the Wyatts still have the tag titles. Ciampa came out firing. Harper caught Gargano with a sit-out slam. Rowan came in and worked over Ciampa. Gargano was getting tossed around, too. Ciampa then hit a powerbomb to back stabber, but got a near fall. Harper and Ciampa fought on the outside as Gargano pinned Rowan with a Samoan driver.

Excellent tag match. Ciampa and Gargano used their quickness to take down the big men.

Match 4. Rob Van Dam vs. Rey Mysterio - ECW Television Championship
This should be a high-flying match. Van Dam landed a super kick and a rolling heel kick. RVD got a near fall after a package slam and Rolling Thunder. Rey dropkicked RVD to the side of the head. RVD hit a super German suplex, but got another two count. Rey won after a sit-out bulldog.

I wish weapons were introduced, but they pulled out some big impact moves.

Match 5. Hall, Nash and Wight vs. Harlem Heat and Dallas Page
An interesting pairing to say the least. Booker hit Hall with an ax kick and snap slam. Hall tagged in The Giant and hit a sidewalk slam. Wight and Nash worked over Page. Stevie Ray adn Wight fought on the outside. Hall and Nash hit Booker with a diving elbow/back breaker combo. Page hit Hall with a superplex and got the win.

Page gets the pin and I think Harlem Heat get another tag title shot.

Match 6. Samoa Joe vs. Hideo Itami - NXT Championship
Itami landed a clothesline and kicked Joe in the side of the head. He then landed a Falcon Arrow and double foot stomp. I haven't seen Joe take a beating like this in a while. Itami continued with a double underhook suplex and German suplex. Joe began his comeback and got a couple of near falls on Itami. He then hit a super German suplex. Itami kicked out and won with the GTS.

Hideo Itami takes down the beast and wins the NXT title. That was a little one-sided.

Main Event. Sting vs. Ric Flair - WCW Championship
Sting left and pulled out a table. Flair brought in a table of his own. Flair set up a table in the corner, but Sting speared him against it. Flair powerbombed Sting right in front of the table. Flair went to drive Sting through the table, but Sting moved. Both men hit multiple signatures and finishers, but couldn't put the other through a table. After a lot of back and forth, Flair elbow dropped Sting through a table.

Now that was a main event. Neither man wanted to lose. That was a MOTY.

Recap: Great first even for NXT and ECWCW. There were some surprising title changes, too.

May Week 1, Year 3

This is the first full month. All the shows will have a PPV throughout the month.

Raw

Match 1. Rusev vs. Batista

This is the first step in the Dean Ambrose singles run. Dean kept Ryback grounded. Ryback hit a big splash. Ambrose locked in the Regal Stretch and a DDT on the apron. Back in the ring, he hit a powerbomb with a bridge and won.

That's a big win for Ambrose. Let's see what Roman can do next week.

JBL gets a big win over the champ.

Match 1. Sami Zayn vs. Tyson Kidd

Match 2. Summer Rae vs. Brie Bella

Match 3. Prime Time Players vs. The Dudleyz

Match 4. Natalya vs. Nikki Bella

Main Event. Eddie Guerrero vs. Kevin Owens

Match 2. Adam Rose vs. Elias Samson

Match 3. Tye Dillinger vs. Bo Dallas

Match 4. Samoa Joe vs. Hideo Itami

Roode and Aries were double teaming Crews. It didn't last long as Aries threw Crews into Roode. Someone brought in a bat, but it was never used. Crews hit Aries with three powerbombs. Aries hit Roode with a brain buster. Roode took out both men with a sledgehammer. Aries landed a German on Roode and pinned Crews after a discus forearm.

That was a great main event. All three can stake a claim for the NXT title.

ECWCW

Match 1. Bret Hart vs. Cactus Jack

Match 2. Rick Rude vs. Finlay

Match 4. The Outsiders vs. Harlem Heat

Main Event. Ric Flair vs. Sting

Where's the DQ? After a butterfly suplex, he locked in the Figure Four. Out of nowhere, Sting hit a back breaker and Scorpion Death Drop, but Flair kicked out. Flair hit a superplex and knee smash to win.

The damage to the back wa too much for Sting to shake off. Flair wins this round.

TNA

Match 1. Bobby Lashley vs. Damien Sandow

Match 2. Ken Shamrock vs. R-Truth vs. Raven

Match 3. Christian vs. Matt Morgan

Match 4. Jeff Hardy vs. Drew Galloway
Jeff hit a suplex and snap DDT. During the match, Drew decided to leave the ring and walk up the ramp. Jeff looked frustrated as the ref counted to 10.

That's an interesting strategy for Galloway. I guess he didn't want to face Hardy tonight.

Main Event. Kurt Angle vs. Alberto Del Rio


ROH

Match 1. Tyler Reks vs. Mil Muertes

Match 2. Shelton Benjamin vs. Zack Sabre Jr.

Match 3. Pentagon Jr. vs. Matt Sydal vs. Drago

Match 4. Adam Cole vs. Jay Lethal
Jay slapped Cole across the face. Cole returned the favor. He locked in an Indian Death Lock. Lethal kept Cole grounded with neck breakers and a gut buster. Cole then DDT'd Jay on the apron. Lethal dodged a superkick and hit a cutter. Moments later, he landed a backspring cutter, but Cole kicked out. Wow! Cole then won with a kneeling brain buster.

After the match, Cole went for a handshake, but Lethal walked away.

That was an amazing match. The title match will be awesome.

Main Event. CM Punk vs. King Cuerno
Cuerno kicked Punk in the back. Punk locked in a dragon sleeper. Cuerno landed a package suplex. Punk hit his running knee and bulldog combo. He then hit a tornado DDT through the turnpost. Cuerno went for a dive, but Punk countered it. He went for a dive from the top, but Punk caught him in mid-air and won with the GTS.

That was a great match. Punk and Cuerno can fight forever.

Recap: NXT and ECWCW have their first pay-per-view this week. There will be a lot of MOTY candidates each and every week.

Raw/SmackDown BACKLASH, Year 3

Raw and SmackDown end the first month with their joint show. All the titles are on the line.

Match 1. The Miz vs. Baron Corbin vs. Tyson Kidd - Intercontinental Championship
This should be a good opening match. Kidd grabbed a kendo stick and hit both Miz and Corbin. Corbin hit Kidd with a front suplex and sent Miz to the outside. They all went to the outside. Corbin powerbombed Kidd. The ref was accidentally taken out. Corbin brought in a table and speared Kidd through it. Miz took out Corbin, which allowed Kidd to hit Miz with a pump handle gut buster to win.

I was right. That was a good opening match. Exciting and hardcore.

Match 2. The Usos vs. The Dudleyz - SmackDown Tag Team Championship
Jey had the upperhand on D-Von with a back suplex. He then hit Bubba with a Samoan drop. The Dudleyz took Jey to their environment, outside the ring. Bubba pulled out a dropkick and took control. D-Von then pinned Jey after a reverse fall away slam and flapjack.

Not the most exciting tag match.

Match 3. Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks - Raw Women's Championship
Sasha rolled Charlotte up for a quick near fall. Charlotte then overpowered Sasha. Sasha sent Charlotte to the outside, but it didn't last long. Sasha hit a DDT and back stabber for a two count. Charlotte locked in a Figure Four and had her in a torture rack. Sasha got a near fall after a roundhouse kick. Charlotte came back and won with a spear.

These two are going to be feuding forever. A great women's match.

Match 4. The Shield vs. The New Day - Raw Tag Team Championship
Kofi landed a huge leg drop on Roman. Roman hit Big E with a German suplex and back body drop before tagging in Dean. E hit Dean with a body splash. Dean planted Kofi with a DDT. Kofi got a near fall after a diving elbow and Boom Drop. Dean ended up bleeding somehow. New Day hit a Bigger Ending, but got another near fall. Big E took out Roman as Kofi pinned Dean to win the titles.

After the match, Dean and Roman looked at each other. Dean patted Roman on the head and walked away.

Dean and Reigns did not look like they were on the same page. Was this the last of them?

Match 5. Cesaro vs. Rusev - United States Championship
Cesaro left to get a chair, but Rusev took it away. Cesaro swung Rusev into the barricade. He then brought the fight up the ramp. Rusev pulled out a ladder. Cesaro hit three gutwrench slams. Rusev hit a super Samoan drop and a spine buster later. He continued with a German suplex and bicycle kick. Cesaro got a near fall after a Neutralizer and uppercut. Rusev won with another spine buster.

Match 6. Seth Rollins vs. Randy Orton - WWE Championship

Orton clotheslined Seth to the outside. Back in the ring, Orton hit a Lou Thesz Press and leg sweep. He then connected with the RKO and won.

Wow. Rollins did not put up a fight at all. Disappointing.

Main Event. John Cena vs. Finn Balor - Universal Championship
The present vs. future. Balor hit a falling gut buster and brain buster. Cena hit the 5 Knuckle Shuffle and AA, but Balor kicked out. Cena landed a superplex. Cena kept the pressure going with a second Shuffle and AA to win the title.

Balor looked like he was overmatched against Cena. He got some offense in early, but not much later.

Recap: The undercard was much better than the two main championship matches. That won't be the case every time.

April Week 4, Year 3

This is the go-home week for Raw and SmackDown's Backlash.

Raw

Match 1. Braun Strowman vs. Lucha Dragons

Match 2. Enzo Amore and Big Cass vs. Gallows and Anderson
Anderson hit a senton splash and sit-out piledriver on Enzo. Gallows came in and landed snake eyes and a flapjack. After a scuffle with Cass, he planted Enzo with a two-handed slam. They hit the Magic Killer, but Cass broke it up. The Club won after Anderson hit Cass with a spinning cutter.

That's a big win for The Club. Maybe a title shot in the future...?

Main Event. John Cena vs. JBL

SmackDown

Match 1. Jack Swagger vs. The Miz

Kane powerbombed Rollins on the ramp. Owens hit a package powerbomb, but Bryan made his comeback with a running bulldog and kicks. Rollins countered the chokeslam.

A great 4-way match. All four men looked good in the process. Rollins continues his success.

NXT

Match 1. Tye Dillinger vs. Bo Dallas

Match 2. Asuka vs. Alexa Bliss

Match 3. Andrade "Cien" Almas vs. No Way Jose

Match 4. DIY vs. Blake and Murphy

Ciampa hit Murphy when a super back suplex. DIY hit a buckle bomb/back kick combo. Murphy landed a double knee smash from the top. Ciampa pinned Blake with a German suplex bridge.

That was a good tag match. DIY worked well in their first match and impressed.

Main Event. Bobby Roode vs. Hideo Itami

ECWCW

Match 1. Tazz vs. Tommy Dreamer vs. Lance Storm

Match 2. Dallas Page vs. Rick Rude

Match 3. Vader vs. Lex Luger

Match 4. Kevin Nash and Scott Hall vs. Harlem Heat
Booker T recruiting his brother to take out Hall and Nash. Booker caught Nash with a super kick and wheel kick. This is our first look at Stevie Ray. Nash hit Ray with a huge boot. Nash and Hall hit a back breaker/elbow drop combo. After snake eyes, Hall hit the Outsiders Edge. Booker pinned Nash after a spine buster.

Big win for the Harlem Heat. Can they get a title shot at the first ECWCW event?

Main Event. Rob Van Dam vs. Ric Flair
A huge contrast of styles here. Flair was wrestling circles around Van Dam early. RVD hit a hurricanrana and enziguiri. He then took the match to the outside before hitting a super reverse suplex. Flair locked in the Figure Four. There was a lot of back-and-forth action before RVD won with a reverse 450 splash.

Wow. Rob Van Dam defeated the 16-time world champ.

TNA

Match 1. R-Truth vs. Raven vs. James Storm

Match 2. American Wolves vs. X-Pac and Billy Gunn

Match 3. Jeff Hardy vs. Eric Young
Galloway attacked Jeff before the match.

Match 4. Ken Shamrock vs. Ethan Carter III
That's an upset win.

Main Event. Kurt Angle vs. Christian vs. Alberto Del Rio vs. Damien Sandow
Del Rio pulled out a chair, but Angle countered it. Christian hit Angle with a second-rope uppercut. Angle came back with three German suplexes. All four men went to the outside. Sandow hit the SCF on Angle for a near fall. Christian hit Angle with the Killswitch just as Del Rio pinned Sandow with the back stabber.

Great 4-way match. All four of these men can eventually be world champ.

ROH

Match 1. King Cuerno vs. Chris Hero

Match 2. Tyler Reks vs. Mil Muertes

Match 3. Shelton Benjamin vs. Cedric Alexander vs. Roderick Strong

Match 4. Adam Cole vs. Pentagon Jr
Jay Lethal walked out, which got Cole's attention. Cole connected with a super kick. Pentagon then landed a twisting dive to the outside. As Cole threw Pentagon into the corner, he went after Lethal. Pentagon attacked him from behind. Pentagon hit a brain buster and double foot stomp. Cole kicked out and won with a flipping piledriver.

I wonder why Lethal was at ringside. Cole was able to pull out a big win.

Main Event. CM Punk vs. Matt Sydal
Sydal hit a front suplex. Punk placed Matt on the top and landed a super Falcon Arrow. He then hit the running knee/bulldog combo for a near fall. Punk landed a dive to the outside. Sydal hit a huge moonsault, but Punk kicked out. Punk got a near fall after a diving elbow, but won with the GTS.

Great match from both men. This is why ROH is different from the other shows. Pure wrestling.

Recap: Well, the first month is in the books. Some of the stars are aligning. 

April Week 3, Year 3

Raw

Match 1. Ryback vs. Cesaro

Match 2. Charlotte vs. Tamina

Match 3. New Day vs. Wyatt Family 

Match 4. Rusev vs. Neville

Main Event. John Cena vs. Sheamus vs. Batista
Batista immediately sent Cena to the outside and all three fought out there for a minute. Sheamus planted Cena with a spine buster. Batista hit Sheamus with a sledgehammer. Cena hit Sheamus with the 5 Knuckle Shuffle. Sheamus countered the AA, but received a Jack Hammer from Batista. Cena hit Batista with the AA and won.

Cena is the likely candidate to earn a WWE Championship match. He deserves it.

SmackDown

Match 1. Prime Time Players vs. The Vaudevillains

Match 2. Dolph Ziggler w/ Jack Swagger vs. Tyson Kidd
I wonder why Swagger is standing in Ziggler's corner. They competed last week. With the success Kidd had in NXT, he wants to translate that to success on SmackDown. Ziggler hit a diving elbow drop. Kidd countered a super kick into a flipping neck breaker. After a jumping DDT, Ziggler won with the Zig Zag.

Swagger didn't get involved too much, but I guess the support helped Ziggler's confidence.

Match 3. Natalya vs. Brie Bella

Match 4. Sami Zayn vs. Baron Corbin

Main Event. Kevin Owens vs. Randy Orton
Owens landed a German suplex on the outside. Back in the ring, Orton hit his back breaker and stomped all over Owens. There was a lot of back and forth before Orton connected with the RKO, but Owens kicked out. Orton kept the pressure and won with the punt kick.

Orton was a different animal this match. He was very aggressive. Good showing.

NXT

Match 1. Carmella vs. Alexa Bliss

Match 2. No Way Jose vs. Adam Rose vs. Rich Swann vs. Andrade "Cien" Almas
Big debut for three of these guys. A win here could go a long way. Jose hit Swann with a somersault leg drop. Swann came back with a back drop on the apron. All four men were now on the outside. Almas hit Rose with a sit-out powerbomb. After a big leg drop, Jose won with a swinging ax smash.

The big Venezuelan gets a nice win in his debut. He's someone to watch.

Match 3. Bobby Roode vs. Bo Dallas
After the match, Roode attacked Dallas.

Match 4. American Alpha vs. Authors of Pain
Whoa. These two guys are huge! The tattooed one, Akam clotheslined the heads off both Gable and Jordan. Jordan almost got the tag, but Akam cut him off. Rezar landed a spinning side slam and got a near fall. They then hit a double pounce. After destroying Gable, they won with a clothesline/leg sweep combo.

Oh my. These two dominated one of the best teams in NXT.

Main Event. Samoa Joe vs. Apollo Crews

ECWCW

Match 1. Chris Jericho vs. Bret Hart
Two of the best Canadian wrestlers. They could get a TV title shot with a win. Hart hit a belly-to-belly slam and diving forearm smash. He then got a near fall after a piledriver. Jericho locked in the Liontamer. He later hit a super reverse suplex and three powerbombs. They went back and forth with submission attempts before Jericho won with three more powerbombs.

A great opening match. Jericho almost tapped a couple of times. He's starting from scratch with the new brand splits.

Match 2. Harlem Heat vs. Hall and Nash

Match 3. Cactus Jack vs. Tommy Dreamer

Match 4. Vader vs. Rhyno

Main Event. Ricky Steamboat vs. Ric Flair

TNA

Match 1. Damien Sandow vs. Raven
Interesting to see Raven on TNA and not the ECWCW show.

Match 2. Christian vs. R-Truth vs. Matt Hardy
This Matt Hardy is not someone I'm used to

Match 3. Christopher Daniels w/ Kazarian vs. Bobby Lashley

Match 4. Jeff Hardy vs. Drew Galloway

Drew got his own near fall after a running knee. Jeff hit the drive-by dropkick on the apron. Jeff kicked out of the Future Shock DDT. Drew won with a second Irish Curse.

A great match. Drew and Jeff both pulled out some big moves. Drew defeated a big star.

Main Event. Kurt Angle vs. Alberto Del Rio


ROH

Match 1. Pentagon Jr vs. Fenix

Match 2. T.J. Perkins vs. Cedric Alexander vs. Zack Sabre Jr
Big win.

Match 3. Adam Cole vs. Jay Lethal
Jay caught Cole with a cheap shot in the corner. They went back and forth as Lethal hit a Complete Shot and a diving forearm. Jay continued with a shoulder tackle through the ropes. Jay kept the attack going. A bloody Adam tossed Lethal up and connected with a super kick and got the win.

Whoa! Cole took a beating, but somehow still got the win. That's impressive.

Match 4. Shelton Benjamin vs. Prince Puma

Main Event. Drago vs. Matt Sydal

Recap: What a good week. This was the second-full week and things are starting to pick up.

April Week 2, Year 3

With the modifications I made, April Week 1 had to be skipped. Nothing major. With 6 shows, I lowered the matches to 5 per show. I will watch/play at least 1 per show, some will have 2.

Get ready to see the new rosters.

Raw

Match 1. Naomi vs. Charlotte

Match 2. Enzo Amore and Big Cass vs. Gallows and Anderson
This feud carries over from SmackDown. Both teams want a shot at the tag titles. Enzo hit Karl with a tornado DDT from the second rope. The Club hit Cass with the Magic Killer, but Enzo broke it up. Cass came back and won with a big boot.

Wow. Gallows and Anderson had this won, but Enzo snuck in to keep them alive. Good match.

Match 3. Big Show vs. Bad New Barrett vs. Cesaro

Match 4. The Shield vs. The New Day

Main Event. Finn Balor vs. Brock Lesnar

The Beast vs. The Demon. If Balor wins, he will be in line for a title shot. Balor hit the shotgun dropkick and DDT'd Lesnar on the apron. Lesnar pummeled Balor on the outside. Balor hit Bloody Sunday, but got a near fall. He then won with a reverse t-bone suplex with a bridge to win.

Balor defeated Lesnar. What a first night.

SmackDown

Match 1. Paige vs. Summer Rae

Match 2. Hype Bros vs. The Dudleyz

Match 3. Natalya vs. Brie Bella

Match 4. Dolph Ziggler vs. Jack Swagger vs. Bray Wyatt
The winner could be the next IC champion. Swagger and Ziggler have a long history. SmackDown has a good mid-card division. Bray pulled out a baseball bat and hit Swagger. Ziggler went after both men. Bray countered a super kick and hit Sister Abigail. Swagger then pulled Bray to the outside and they brawled out there. After a splash to Swagger, he rolled up Bray and got the win.

Huge win for Ziggler. He booked himself an IC title match in the future.

Main Event. Seth Rollins vs. The Miz
Rollins stakes his claim at being the new SmackDown champion.

NXT

Match 1. Hideo Itami vs. Adam Rose

Match 2. Tye Dillinger vs. Samoa Joe
Dillinger has a big match with the new NXT champ. Tye got the upper hand, which pissed off Joe. Joe kicked Tye before hiting 3 German suplexes. Tye connected with a wheel kick. Joe hit the running elbow and enziguiri in the corner. Dillinger lifted Joe up and hit the Tye Breaker, but Joe kicked out. Whoa. Close near fall. Joe won with a Muscle Buster.

Dillinger put up a good fight, but the champ is the champ for a reason.

Match 3. Apollo Crews vs. Bo Dallas

Match 4. Bobby Roode vs. Elias Samson

Main Event. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Austin Aries
The King of Strong Style is here! A win over Aries would skyrocket Nakamura's value. There was a test of strength early. Aries connected with a spinning forearm. Nakamura got a near fall with a Michinoku Driver. He later hit the Kinshasa, but Aries kicked out. Aries landed three suplexes and a 450 splash. He later connected with a comeback combo and won with his feet on the ropes.

Well, Aries technically won, but he needed a little help. Nakamura will look for his revenge.

ECWCW
This show consists, obviously, of both WCW and ECW superstars.

Match 1. Chirs Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio
Jericho went back to his long tights with the roster switch. Rey landed a couple of flying head scissors. He then hit a supercanrana. Jericho connected with a moonsault and sitout powerbomb. Rey got a near fall after the 619. Rey countered a powerbomb and hit a second 619 to get the win.

This was a good fast-paced opening match. Jericho was acting a little heelish in this match.

Match 2. Ricky Steamboat vs. Cactus Jack

Match 3. Roddy Piper vs. Vader

Match 4. Dallas Page vs. Rhyno vs. Arn Anderson

Main Event. Kevin Nash and Scott Hall vs. Impact Players


TNA

Match 1. X-Pac and Billy Gunn vs. American Wolves

Match 2. R-Truth vs. Jeff Hardy

Match 3. Damien Sandow vs. Alberto Del Rio

Match 4. Bobby Lashley vs. Christian
Past meets present. Christian hit a front suplex and atomic drop. He then hit a diving headbutt. Lashley hit a huge powerbomb and snapmare. He connected with two back breakers. Christian countered a back suplex and hit the Killswitch, but got a two count. Lashley hit a super butterfly suplex. Christian busted Lashley open with a flapjack and won with a diving elbow.

Interesting result. I thought Lashley's power would have prevailed.

Main Event. James Storm vs. Drew Galloway


ROH

This roster will feature both ROH and Lucha Underground talents.

Match 1. Matt Sydal vs. Fenix

Match 2. Chris Hero vs. Tyler Reks

Match 3. Cedric Alexander vs. Zack Sabre Jr vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. T.J. Perkins
Four of the best wrestlers in one ring. TJP and Cedric went to the outside. Cedric hit a delayed suplex. Shelton and Sabre joined them. Zack pulled out a sledgehammer and hit Shelton in the ribs multiple times. Cedric landed multiple suplexes to TJP. He then won with the Kick to Kill.

An exciting 4-way match. I'm surprised Zack Sabre Jr. went for a weapon, though.

Match 4. CM Punk vs. Pentagon Jr. vs. Roderick Strong

Main Event. Adam Cole vs. Drago

Recap: Well, that was the first full week. Raw/SmackDown have a pay-per-view at the end of the month. After that, there will be 3 PPVs per month. Raw/SmackDown, NXT/WCW and TNA/ROH will all share events. It limits the card a bit, but I can't do 6 different events.

Year 2 Recap and Year 3 Preview

Year 2 is now over.

The final champions are as follows.

NXT - Samoa Joe
US - Triple H
Women's - Asuka
Tag Team - Rowan/Harper

WWE - Seth Rollins
IC - The Miz
Women's - Charlotte
Tag Team - Ambrose/Reigns

Things are going to get completely flipped in Year 3. There are going to be more shows in my attempt to get everyone involved. It's going to take a lot of planning and set-up, so it won't be started immediately.

I have so many CAWs in my "awaiting to debut" list that I couldn't debut them all at once. I am even thinking of a show for the Legends/HOFers, like a WCW or NWA-themed show. Not sure yet.

All I know is that things are going to be amazing.

WRESTLEMANIA, Year 2

Here we are. The end of an era.

Pre-Show. 6-Man Legends Battle Royal
The participants are Dusty, Warrior, Rude, Mr. Perfect, Piper and Boss Man. There were a lot of close calls early. Dusty scored the first elimination by kicking Warrior off the apron. He then eliminated Hennig. Piper eliminated Boss Man. Rude shook off a piledriver and eliminated Dusty. They went back and forth before Piper eliminated Rude.

Cool showcase for the legends. Now, it's time for the real show.

Match 1. WWE vs. NXT - Kurt Angle vs. Daniel Bryan

What a way to kick off the show. Neither man was able to get the upper hand. Both superstars have excellent mat skills. Angle scored the first point with a belly-to-back take down. Bryan came back with a kick to the chest and an arm bar. Things slowed down for a bit. Angle landed two German suplexes before Bryan countered the third into the Yes Lock and made Angle tap out.

A great WRESTLING match to start the show. I expect these two to meet again.

Match 2. Rhodes vs. Booker vs. Ryback vs. Jericho vs. Miz vs. Show - WWE IC Championship

Yes, it's another battle royal. Show punched Ryback off the apron. Cody and Jericho worked together to try to eliminate Show, but it wasn't enough. Cody eliminated Booker. One in four chance now. Jericho hit Show with a moonsault. He then eliminated Cody. We will have a new IC champion. Show chokeslammed Jericho over the top. Miz dodged Show's power and was able to eliminate him.

This was quicker than the legends' one, but just as fun. Miz is the new champion.

Match 3. Asuka vs. Alexa Bliss - NXT Women's Championship

Asuka won the exchange early and connected three kicks to the head. Alexa hit a northern lights suplex and snap mare. Asuka hit the hip attack and a striking combination. Asuka sent Alexa to the outside and then hit a huge diving splash. Alexa caught Asuka with a huge roundhouse kick. Asuka locked in the Asuka Lock to win.

Alexa more than held her own against Asuka. Yet, the champ was just too much. She has been champion for 49 weeks. Wow.

Match 4. John Cena vs. CM Punk

Cena accidentally knocked out the ref when going after Punk. Cena stomped on Punk for a bit. Punk tossed Cena to the outside. Cena made a comeback and hit a suplex and 5 Knuckle Shuffle. Punk kicked out of the AA. Cena continued with his offense until he was able to win with a belly-to-belly slam.

It was good at the beginning, but Cena went into Superman mode and dominated.

Match 5. Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins - WWE World Championship
Owens hit a back suplex and spinning sidewalk slam. Rollins hit a reverse DDT and STO. He then hit a full nelson suplex. Rollins landed the Falcon Arrow and got a near fall. He hit the roll through super kick. Rollins was on fire. Owens was able to kick out of the Pedigree. He then hit the package powerbomb. Rollins countered a superplex and busted him open. He hit one final Pedigree to win.

That was an amazing match. Rollins is once again WWE champion. The Shield have all the belts again.

Match 6. WWE vs. NXT - Brock Lesnar vs. Shane McMahon
I don't like Shane's odds. Shane came out firing, throwing everything he had at Brock. Lesnar just stood there for a bit before he blocked a punch and suplexed Shane. He then hit a few more suplexes. Shane went for a chair to even things up, but Lesnar stepped on it. As the ref took care of the chair, Shane hit Lesnar below the belt and got a near fall. Shane hit a diving elbow, but Lesnar kicked out. He then hit what looked like 10 German suplexes before winning with an F5.

That was not a fair fight at all. I wish the ref allowed Shane to use the chair. Lesnar is a beast.

Match 7. Cesaro vs. Triple H - NXT United States Championship
Is Trips looking to win the title or punish Cesaro? After some transitions, Cesaro landed an uppercut. The match quickly spilled to the outside, but made it back into the ring. Cesaro hit a straight jacket suplex for a near fall. Cesaro got a couple of near falls with some amazing suplexes. Triple H landed the spine buster and Pedigree, but Cesaro kicked out. Cesaro landed another suplex, but Trips cut him off and won with a second Pedigree.

Triple H not only took Cesaro's title, but he took his dignity with him. That sucks for Cesaro.

Match 8. Loser Leaves WWE - The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels

Two legends enter. One leaves...for good. Taker overpowered Michaels early. Michaels went for the Sharpshooter, but Taker countered and hit a chokeslam. Michaels landed a flying forearm and went to the top for a diving elbow, but Taker caught him for the Tombstone, yet Michaels kicked out. Taker kicked out of the Sweet Chin Music.

Taker hit snake eyes, a big boot and leg drop. Michaels came right back with an atomic drop, scoop slam and diving elbow. They left the ring again and fought up the ramp. Michaels connected with another super kick, but neither man could make it back to the ring in time.

What?! That's not how it ends, right? What happens now? Nobody lost, but nobody won either.

Main Event. AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe - NXT Championship

It's time! Who will walk out as NXT champion? The two traded counters in the early going. They have a long history. Joe suplexed AJ on the ramp. AJ countered a suplex and hit a standing moonsault. AJ took out Joe on the outside and almost won by count out. Joe hit a senton splash and his three German suplexes. Joe then connected with the Muscle Buster, but got a two count. AJ landed the Pele kick. Joe kicked out of the Styles Clash at the last possible moment. AJ landed a back suplex and almost won. Joe hit three more suplexes and another Muscle Buster to win.

Oh. My. God. That was a WrestleMania main event. These two left it all in the ring. What a match.

Recap: What a night. What a WrestleMania! Four title changes and (possibly) two first-ballot Hall of Famers calling it a career. How can the following year top this?

WWE - March Week 4, Year 2

This is it. The final regular show before WrestleMania.

Match 1. Ryback vs. Goldust w/ R-Truth

Match 2. Seth Rollins vs. Kevin Owens

Owens charged at Rollins as soon as the bell rang. Owens then hit the cannonball splash. Rollins got some moves in. Owens hit a package powerbomb and a package piledriver to win.

Owens took the cheap route to defeat Rollins. It won't be that easy at 'Mania.

Match 3. The Pretty Express vs. Gallows and Anderson

Rose was taking it to Anderson. Breeze gave it a shot, but Gallows landed a back body drop. Anderson hit a snap powerbomb. Rose planted him with a headlock driver. Breeze and Gallows were back on the outside. Breeze went after Anderson, who was doing nothing. Rose hit a snap suplex and spine buster to win.

Match 4. John Cena vs. CM Punk

Match 5. Enzo Amore and Big Cass vs. The New Day

Cass landed a back suplex. He went for a back breaker, but E countered. Cass was able to connected with a press slam. He continued with a modified back breaker and big boot. They then hit the Rocket Launcher, but Kofi broke it up. E hit a super fall away slam and tagged in Kofi. He hit Cass with the Boom Drop. Enzo kicked out of 2 Super Big Endings. E won after a super back suplex.

That was a great tag match. New Day want their titles back.

Main Event. Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels

Heat

Match 1. Cameron vs. Alicia Fox

Match 2. Curtis Axel vs. Fandango

Match 3. JBL vs. Wade Barrett

Recap: Here's what we know going into WrestleMania.

AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe - NXT Title
Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins - WWE Titlte
Asuka vs. Alexa Bliss - NXT Women's Title
Triple H vs. Cesaro
John Cena vs. CM Punk
Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels

It looks like an amazing card so far.

NXT - March Week 4, Year 2

This is it.

Match 1. Baron Corbin vs. Zack Ryder w/ Mojo Rawley

Match 2. Asuka vs. Alexa Bliss
Alexa attacked Asuka from behind in the ring. Alexa targeted the head with punches and knee strikes. After a dropkick to the head, Alexa won with the Sparkle Splash.

It took a sneak attack, but Alexa defeated the champion.

Match 3. Blake and Murphy vs. The Ascension
Konnor hit Murphy with a diving shoulder tackle. Blake countered a slam and got a near fall. Konnor hit an Electric Chair Drop. The Ascension connected with the Fall of Man, but Blake broke up the pin. Blake picked Konnor up with ease and hit a powerslam to win.

The Ascension lose to a team they should have beaten. They puzzle me sometimes.

Match 4. Sting vs. Curtis Axel

Match 5. Cesaro vs. Triple H
Trips clotheslined Cesaro from behind in the ring. He then hit the Pediree, but Cesaro kicked out. Cesaro hit a running uppercut and shoulder tackle. Trips went to the top, but missed a diving fist drop. Cesaro got a near fall after a European uppercut. Triple H landed a superplex and spine buster. He then hit the Pedigree, but Cesaro kicked out again. It took a third Pedigree to keep Cesaro down.

Yet another win for Triple H. All because Cesaro eliminated him in seconds.

Main Event. AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe

Two wins in a row. Can Joe shake it off and win the title?

Recap: WrestleMania should be awesome for the NXT matches.

WWE - March Week 3, Year 2

Match 1. Ryback vs. Dallas Page

Match 2. Chris Jericho vs. The Miz

Match 3. Cody Rhodes vs. Booker T

Match 4. John Cena vs. CM Punk
Cena hit a clothesline and snapmare. He then hit a flipping powerbomb. Cena tossed Punk up and caught him in mid-air for the AA, but Punk kicked out. Punk made a comeback with a northern lights suplex and multiple kicks. Cena cut him off with a shoulder tackle and 5 Knuckle Shuffle. He landed a second AA, but got another near fall. Cena then won with a superplex.

After the match, Cena went to check on Punk, but Punk clocked Cena with a punch.

Well, that was uncalled for. Punk is a jerk and turned on the fans.

Match 5. Kurt Angle vs. Seth Rollins
This week, Angle takes on the challenger. Kevin Owens attacked Rollins as he was walking down the ramp. In the ring, Angle hit a belly-to-belly slam and 3 German suplexes. Rollins landed a couple of kicks and a suplex, but it wasn't enough. Angle hit the Angle Slam and won.

The pre-match attack helped Angle win this match. He's become a beneficiary to this feud. The fans are cheering for both Rollins and Owens.

Main Event. Undertaker vs. Kane

Taker was pummeling his brother, who was wearing slacks and nice shoes. Kane landed a belly-to-belly overhead slam. After a back suplex, Taker hit the chokeslam. They traded punches before Taker hit the Tombstone and won.

After the match, Shawn Michaels came out and crotch chopped at Taker.

A blah main event. Kane didn't provide as much offense as I thought he would.

Heat

Match 1. X-Pac vs. Damien Sandow

Match 2. Goldust vs. Wade Barrett vs. R-Truth

Match 3. Christian vs. Fandango

Recap: Jesus Christ. What a week. Punk turned on Cena and the fans while Owens got revenge and the adolation of those same fans. Taker destroyed his brother and sent a message to HBK. One week left.
