October Week 3, Year 3



Raw
Match 1. Sasha Banks vs. Naomi

Match 2. Neville vs. Ryback vs. R-Truth vs. Bo Dallas

Match 3. Cesaro vs. The Miz

Match 4. Roman Reigns vs. Baron Corbin
Roman landed a forearm to the back of the head. Corbin hit a Samoan drop and locked in a camel clutch. Roman went for the spear, but Corbin countered it into a DDT. The match spilled to the outside where Roman threw Corbin into the steps. He later hit a gut buster and got the win.

No finishers or signatures. Roman gets the win. Interesting.

Main Event. Brock Lesnar vs. Braun Strowman vs. Kane
These matches get bigger and bigger.


SmackDown
Match 1. Jack Swagger vs. Tyler Breeze

Match 2. Natalya vs. Brie Bella

Match 3. Bray Wyatt vs. Heath Slater

Match 4. Dolph Ziggler vs. Tyson Kidd

Main Event. Daniel Bryan vs. Kevin Owens
Bryan landed the kicking combo and got a near fall. Owens made his comeback with a suplex and cannonball splash. Bryan hit a back superplex and dive to the outside. Bryan connected with more kicks before Owens won with the pop-up powerbomb.

Owens is THE guy on SmackDown. Can anyone stop him?

NXT
Match 1. Adam Rose vs. Rhyno

Match 2. Summer Rae vs. Alexa Bliss

Match 3. Asuka vs. Dana Brooke
Asuka was dominating Brooke early. Dana created some space on the outside but it didn't last. Dana pinned Asuka but lifted her up after one. Bad idea. Asuka connected with multiple kicks to the chest. Asuka then won with a kick to the head.

After the match, Alexa came out pointed at Asuka and her title.

Alexa/Asuka for the title?

Match 4. Andrade 'Cien' Almas vs. TJ Perkins vs. Roderick Strong

Main Event. Brian Kendrick vs. Austin Aries
Two of te best cruiserweights in the world. If Kendrick can pin the NXT champ, he has to get a title shot. After a forearm, Aries landed a diving splash. He continued with a back suplex and discus forearm for another near fall. Aries won with a superplex and a second forearm.

Rich Swann came out and stared down Kendrick as he recovered.

Aries does what he's supposed to do. What does Swann want with Kendrick?

ECWCW
Match 1. Sting vs. The Giant

Match 2. Dusty Rhodes and ??? vs. Arn Anderson and Lex Luger
His partner is...Ricky Steamboat! 

Match 3. Bret Hart vs. Cactus Jack

Match 4. Taz vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Rey Mysterio

Main Event. Dallas Page vs. Ric Flair
Roddy Piper attacked Page from behind. Flair joined Page outside and they went back and forth. They finally made it into the ring where Flair won with a piledriver.

Flair and Piper aren't working together, but they have a common enemy.

Impact of Honor
Match 1. The American Wolves vs. WGTT
Davey hit a German suplex and snap DDT on Shelton. Haas hit Eddie with a pump handle back suplex. He later hit a German suplex and dragon sleeper. He continued with a straightjacket brain buster. Davey hit Shelton with the backpack stunner. Eddie hit a double underhook piledriver and got the win.

A great tag match that we will see again in the future.

Match 2. Jeff Hardy vs. Adam Cole vs. PJ Black

Match 3. Johnny Mundo vs. Aerostar

Match 4. Bobby Lashley vs. Drew Galloway
Drew worked Lashley over on the outside. Lashley hit an overhead suplex. Galloway came back with a diving clothesline. He then hit the Irish Curse and DDT on the apron. Lashley tossed Drew into the steel steps. Damien Sandow came out and distracted Lashley, allowing Drew to hit Future Shock and win.

Lashley took his eyes off the prize. Galloway wants a title shot.

Main Event. Cody Rhodes vs. Kurt Angle


Recap: The first three shows were formulaic. Things picked up on ECWCW and Impact of Honor. Bound for Glory is the next PPV.
