May Week 2, Year 3

TNA and ROH have their first big show at the end of this week.

Raw
Match 1. Sheamus vs. Rusev

Match 2. Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte
Charlotte locked in a camel clutch and hit a powerbomb. She later hit a torture rack. Sasha came back with a back stabber and a near fall. She then hit a dive to the outside. Charlotte hit another powerbomb and gutwrench to win.

After the match, Charlotte continued the attack until Bayley made her debut! She chased off Charlotte and checked on Sasha.

Whoa! What a debut. Charlotte needed to be stopped.

Match 3. Neville vs. Braun Strowman

Match 4. Dean Ambrose vs. Ryback

Main Event. Finn Balor vs. JBL
John Cena walked down and sat at ringside. Balor landed some kicks and an STO. JBL took down Balor and then went after Cena. Balor attacked JBL from behind. Balor connected with the shotgun dropkick. He then hit the Coup de Grace and won. 

Balor defeated a legend, with some help from Cena.

SmackDown
Match 1. Prime Time Players vs. Hype Bros

Match 2. Kane vs. Eddie Guerrero
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.

Match 3. Natalya vs. Paige

Match 4. Daniel Bryan vs. Mark Henry

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
A fun-loving team against a no-nonsene team. The winners could be DIY's next opponents. Swann landed a rolling senton on Rezar. The AoP worked over Jose. Swann and Jose attacked Akam on the outside. 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.

Whoa! Big win for Jose and Swann. I can't see AoP letting them get away with that.

Main Event. Hideo Itami vs. Samoa Joe
This looks to be the title match for the next PPV.

ECWCW
Match 1. Rob Van Dam vs. Chris Jericho
RVD hit a back suplex and countered a double underhook suplex into a back body drop. Jericho hit a sit-out powerbomb. He later locked in the Walls of Jericho and a double back stabber from the corner. Van Dam hit a package piledriver and tornado DDT. He then hit a split-legged moonsault to win.

Great, fast-paced match. Van Dam wants his TV Title back.

Match 2. Cactus Jack vs. Fit Finlay

Match 3. Vader vs. Roddy Piper

Match 4. The Outsiders vs. Harlem Heat

Main Event. Ric Flair vs. Dusty Rhodes


TNA
Match 1. Damien Sandow vs. Christopher Daniels w/ Kaz

Match 2. R-Truth vs. Ken Shamrock vs. Eric Young

Match 3. Jeff Hardy vs. Drew Galloway
The two brawled on the ramp before the match officially began.

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 4. Adam Cole vs. Jay Lethal

Main Event. Matt Sydal vs. Drago
