May Week 4, Year 3

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

Raw
Match 1. Rusev vs. Batista

Match 2. Charlotte vs. Tamina

Match 3. Ryback vs. Dean Ambrose
Ambrose went right after The Big Guy when the bell rang. He then hit a front headlock driver. Ryback clotheslined him and took control. Ryback DDT'd Ambrose on the apron. Maybe Ambrose could use Reigns' help. Afte a Regal Stretch attempt, Ambrose won with Dirty Deeds.

Maybe he doesn't need Roman after all. Ambrose is searching for any gold he can get.

Match 4. Sheamus vs. Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman
Strowman defeated to vets. Big win.

Main Event. John Cena vs. JBL
JBL attacked Cena from behind on the ramp. He got a near fall after a neck breaker. Cena landed a side slam on the outside. They went back and forth for a bit before JBL won with another neck breaker and powerbomb.

Can JBL defeat the champ? He did it once.

SmackDown
Match 1. Dolph Ziggler vs. Tyson Kidd
Kidd gave Ziggler a cheap shot after losing.

Match 2. The Miz vs. Jack Swagger

Match 3. Natalya vs. Paige

Match 4. Kevin Owens vs. Eddie Guerrero
Eddie left and met Owens on the ramp. Owens threw him into the steps and post. In the ring, Eddie hit the Three Amigos. After a package side slam, Owens landed the pop-up powerbomb, but Eddie kicked out. He then hit a back suplex on the apron. Eddie got a near fall after a superplex. Owens won with a second powerbomb.

This was a great match. Owens/Orton on Sunday?

Main Event. Sami Zayn vs. Randy Orton vs. Kane

NXT
Match 1. Apollo Crews vs. Bo Dallas

Match 2. Adam Rose vs. Elias Samson

Match 3. Samoa Joe vs. Hideo Itami
Despite the pre-match attack, Hideo was able to pull out the win.

Match 4. Tye Dillinger vs. Austin Aries
The Perfect 10 vs. The Greates Man That Ever Lived. Aries DDT'd Tye on the apron. Tye shook it off and locked int he Sharpshooter. Aries came back with a swinging STO and won.

I was expecting a longer match, but with Aries in there, it's not a guarantee.

Main Event. Swann/Jose vs. Authors of Pain
After the match, AoP made sure Swann and Jose would not get up.

ECWCW
Match 1. Chris Jericho vs. Rob Van Dam
Jericho accidentally knocked out the ref at the opening bell. RVD hit a head scissors. Jericho came back with three powerbombs. Van Dam got a near fall after a supercanrana and Rolling Thunder. After a fisherman powerbomb, he won with the 5 Star Frog Splash.

Jericho was aggressive early, but RVD kept the pressure and landed some big moves.

Match 2. Vader vs. The Giant
Wow.

Match 3. Cactus Jack vs. Dallas Page

Match 4. Rey Mysterio vs. Rhyno

Main Event. Ric Flair vs. Dusty Rhodes
Rhodes loses again...

TNA
Match 1. Cody Rhodes vs. Raven

Match 2. R-Truth vs. Kazarian

Match 3. Del Rio vs. Shamrock vs. Christian vs. Storm

Match 4. Kurt Angle vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Damien Sandow
Big mantch for the champ. Lashley pulled out a sledgehammer. Sandow hit Angle in the ribs with it. Angle hit Lashley with three German suplexes. Angle took Sandow out. Lashley then hit Angle with the Dominator and won.

It's going to be tough to take out Lashley after this.

Main Event. Drew Galloway vs. Ethan Carter III
Jeff walked out after the match and stared Galloway down.

ROH
Match 1. ReDragon vs. War Machine
After the match, The Briscoes showed up! The tag division just got stronger.

Match 2. Jay Lethal vs. Tyler Reks
Adam Cole had a seat at ringside. Lethal seems to be distracted by Cole's presence. Reks hit a back breaker and corner clothesline. Lethal hit a Complete Shot. He hit a neck breaker and a superkick, but Reks kicked out. Lethal then went after Cole. Reks had the pin, but Lethal reached the ropes. He then hit a Samoan Driver to win.

Wow. Big win for Reks, defeating the champ. Lethal was definitely distracted.

Match 3. Roderick Strong vs. Cedric Alexander vs. Zack Sabre Jr

Match 4. Prince Puma vs. John Morrison

Main Event. Matt Sydal vs. CM Punk
Punk landed a knee strike to the jaw. Sydal planted him with a Death Valley driver. He continued with a reverse DDT and Dudebuster, but got a near fall. Sydal landed an elbow drop to the back. Punk could not get any offense going. Sydal won with a reverse Tombstone.

Recap: Big weak for the underdogs, especially on ROH. Onto Over the Edge.
