As go down the road to Wrestlemania 33, WWE makes its first stop in Chicago with Payback, the 4th event under the lineage. Without a shadow of a doubt, this is the best thought out card in the history of the event and according to WWE, is the start of a new era. This is definitely an era I can get behind. 7 of the 8 matches involve NXT alumni, some are even making their PPV debuts. There's also a return and one of the most accomplished stars in professional wrestling getting his first chance to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Let's talk matches!
For whatever reason, for the 2nd straight time Kalisto, who still has the US Title for whatever reason, will defend it against Ryback on the pre-show. This is stupid. Both guys aren't even featured on the Raw before the PPV. Since Cena lost it to Del Rio back in October, the title has dropped from it's former glory. Cena spent half of 2015 trying to make it a title worthy of winning by having meaningful feuds and by defending it weekly but that's a thing of the past now. I'm guessing Ryback wins since they're doing a rematch, otherwise, why put the WWE Universe through it again? Ryback as US Champion is not interesting and shouldn't be a thing at all. I'm sorry.
Baron Corbin will make his PPV singles debut when he faces Dolph Ziggler. Cobrin burst onto the main roster with his shocking win at Wrestlemania, winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. I'm a huge fan of Corbin and I have been since NXT. He has the look WWE likes and needs at this point. There needs to be a new monster heel around WWE and he fits the bill. This will be a match to show just how dominant Corbin is. That being said, I don't see him taking a loss here. Corbin wins.
The New Day will apparently NOT defend their tag titles at Payback but two tag teams from NXT will clash to determine the #1 contender. Enzo and Cass, who I'm sure will get a massive pop in Chi-Town, will face former NXT Tag Team Champions The Vaudevillians. I saw this live at the last NXT event in Philadelphia. That was more of a comedy match and there's nothing funny about this now that a shot at the tag titles is up for grabs. Let's be honest, it doesn't matter who wins this or whoever wins the match with the New Day, Gallows and Anderson are coming for the belts so just keep them warm for them. New Day is still an entertaining act, as is Enzo and Cass but Gallows and Anderson didn't leave NJPW for nothing. I think The Vaudevillians will go over, mainly because Enzo and Cass VS New day will divide the fans and New Day just became faces. Vaudevillians win, will lose to New Day and will probably join The Ascension as NXT Tag Team Champions that were misused on the main roster.
Charlotte VS Natalya doesn't make sense. Yes, it will be an amazing women's championship match and one that will further the division but it's one that just doesn't sit right with me. Natalya is one of the most hard working women the WWE has and next to Charlotte, the most technically sound. I just can't overlook Wrestlemania. Charlotte made Becky Lynch tap out BUT the other superstar in the match, Sasha Banks, didn't take a loss. In fact, she STILL hasn't been pinned or made submit on the main roster since JULY. That's 10 months if you're counting. How the hell does she just go to the back of the line? Reports say she'll have her moment at SummerSlam and to be honest, Sasha Banks VS Charlotte at the event would make it a big time PPV but she's back to where she was during the winter months, gone from TV. This infuriates me as a fan. Same with Becky. I want to see her too. She's too talented to do nothing. And Paige and Emma. Start doing a tournament or something. You have the women!
Anyway, this is a straight rematch from NXT Takeover I that happened almost two years ago. That match was amazing and this will be too. Bret Hart will stop the Flair Factor so the two ladies should be able to have the wrestling match we deserve. After 15 minutes, Charlotte will retain and probably face Nattie at Extreme Rules in a Submission match. After that, who else? There's not a lot of face women left for her to wrestle is there? Just saying, you put the title on Banks, and you open up Sasha/Emma, Sasha/Paige, Sasha/Natalya, matches that would definitely be show stealers but I understand, keep catering to Ric Flair's daughter.
Cesaro makes his PPV return as he challenges The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship. I like The Miz. He plays his movie star villain role very well and his wife is hot. He's got a lot going on for him. He won his 5th IC Title on the Raw after Wrestlemania, ending Zack Ryder's 1 day reign. It's time for somebody to hold the title and start having meaningful matches and feuds again. Cesaro is just that guy! There's a lot of matches he could have that would elevate the division. Zayn and Cesaro have a deep history and that could definitely be a match to watch. With Maryse back though, I think Miz will hold onto the title for just a little bit longer. Cesaro wins by DQ due to Maryse.
Hey, it's a scraped Wrestlemania match happening on a different PPV! Dean Ambrose, the guy who fought Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 32 if you remember that, will face Chris Jericho in a most random match that came about after Jericho's Highlight Reel was cancelled for Ambrose's new show, The Ambrsoe Asylum. I can't make this up. Regardless of the way it came about, it should still be a good match between the two. A match between Ambrose and Jericho was teased all the way back at Night of Champions 2015, where a disgruntled Jericho was disrespectful to Ambrose, following a loss to the Wyatt Family. It was also a match in place for WM before they fed Ambrose to Lesnar. This should be a good match between two great stars. This is a match to continue to put Ambrose over as a top face. There's no real for Jericho to win here and he won't. Ambrose wins.
Another planned Wrestlemania match sighted! This one is another rematch from a NXT Takeover event and it will see Kevin Owens take on Sami Zayn. Two best friends, former NXT Champions and of course rivals will do battle in their first of what will probably be many matches. Here's another that could've happened at Wrestlemania but Payback will reap the benefits of this amazing match. I felt like the two never had the match they deserved in NXT. Their first match was a one sided affair and the other one was short because of Zayn's injury to his shoulder. Now that they're on the main roster, hopefully this will be the match where they will showcase all of their moves. I don't think Owens needs a win here, as I'm sure they will have a trilogy of matches at the next couple of events. Maybe even having an I Quit match at Extreme Rules. More likely a Steel Cage but whatever. Give Zayn the win here and move on. Owens won't be hurt by a loss here as I'm sure he's a frontrunner for the Money in the Bank briefcase. Him, Ambrose and Cesaro right? Could we add a title to this feud? Seriously.
Roman Reigns' first challenger for his newly won WWE World Heavyweight Title is phenomenal. His challenger is a star who's won a World Title in almost every promotion he's been at. He's a former PWG, NWA, TNA and IWGP Heavyweight Champion. He is getting his first shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Title and he's only been in the company for 14 weeks. It's AJ Styles. What a turn of events huh? This match has all the makings for a classic. Let's see; raucous crowd filled with Internet wrestling fans sure to boo Roman Reigns? Check. Big match feel? Check. Wonky finish sure to take place? Check. When the title match was announced, we were all dreading the fact that Styles was given to Reigns to make him look good. When Gallows and Anderson made their shocking, but expected because we knew they signed, debut, we all thought about the possibility of a Bullet Club reunion. When Gallows and Anderson actually beat up Reigns in London, everything changed. THEN, Finn Balor loss his NXT Title at a house show. A HOUSE SHOW, days before the event. Is this all coincidence or is this classic WWE trolling its fans? Although Styles has said he didn't call on Gallows and Anderson to attack Reigns, they'll solely behind him and have his back. The Usos, of course, will support their cousin Reigns.
Let's make something clear; whatever happens in this match, it's not going to end clean. There's too many parties involved for this to go right down the middle and besides, the Chicago crowd will not have it. If Reigns is to pin AJ CLEAN, oh Lord. The crowd will riot. This may be a stretch, but I'm expecting the crowd reaction to be similar to Cena/Punk from MITB 2011. Not as loud but definitely akin to that. Another thing, someone has to walk out heel. WWE is currently without a top heel. Triple H was that figure but he's gone for now. Jericho is the best heel they have but who knows when he'll go away again. Wyatt is out on injury so he's no good right now. With no top heel established, they need to make one. They have the opportunity here. There's three different guys you can push as the heel; Roman Reigns, AJ Styles and Finn Balor. Reigns could align himself with Gallows and Anderson who would screw AJ out of the match. You could go the obvious route and form WWE's version of The Bullet Club, which would help AJ win the title. While Reigns and AJ are down and Gallows/Anderson and The Usos are fighting on the outside, Balor can run in, do a shotgun dropkick in the corner, hit Cuop de Grace on Reigns and AJ can take advantage. The last situation is to make Finn Balor the top heel. Balor just loss his NXT Title so a call-up to the main roster is inevitable for him. With Joe, Aries, Nakamura and a returning Hideo Itami eventually, the brand will be fine. Balor could do one last Takeover in June then call it quits. He does deserve a rematch for the title anyway. Balor could come out just as Gallows and Anderson come out. They would make their way to beat up Reigns but then point their hands like a gun to Styles and beat him down, allowing Reigns to pick up the scraps and win, effectively establishing the Balor Club, Balor as a top heel and Reigns as what he says he is. He's not a good guy, he's not a bad guy, he's THE guy.
For me, this is the most anticipated WWE Title match in a long time. Don't think I've been this excited since Bryan/Cena at SummerSlam 2013. Seriously. I don't want to get my hopes up but I can't help it. The fact that WWE MIGHT due a Bullet Club stable is getting me excited. The fact that AJ Styles, who is 98 days in the company come Sunday, could walk out with the top prize in WWE is getting me excited. The fact that for once, the main event is so chaotic and crazy that I don't know what will happen is getting me excited. THIS is why I watch pro wrestling. Obviously, I want AJ Styles to win, become heel and team up with his buddies. This could lead to them VS Reigns and The Usos and even better, The Bullet Club VS The Shield. It also has a chance to bring up Balor a little quicker and really start off this new era right. It would definitely put more emphasis on the lesser events, like Battleground, if you have a major feud like this going. Reigns having ANOTHER short reign looks unlikely though as WWE will not give up their quest to make him the face of the company. Either way they go, I think John Cena is the destination. Cena will be back in a month's time and a big time clash at SummerSlam with the title on the line would be great. Styles/Cena! Need I say more? I really want a heel Reigns though. This is such a tough decision. I mean, I would be happy with heel Reigns but AJ Styles as WWE Champion? Don't make me choose!
I'm going with the obvious WWE led choice, which is AJ Styles will win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship thanks to Gallows, Anderson and Balor. Styles will become the first man to hold the PWG, NWA, TNA, IWGP and WWE Heavyweight Titles.
The first PPV of a new era will not disappoint as I believe Vince will announce Shane as the permanent leader of Raw. I'm sure there will be some type of stipulation involving a match with Triple H but we'll see. If these first four Raws under Shane are anything to go off of then I'm all for Shane running Raw, even if he has to beat Triple H to get it.
Payback is THIS Sunday. Don't miss out on a chance to witness history!

Dark Souls III - Journal #2
Alright, so here's the next entry!
I haven't played Dark Souls III in about a week and that was mainly due to my work schedule. Working all overnights meant that I had to sleep during the day and couldn't play any real games. I was able to get some time in my Steam games but just barely. Anyway, since I hadn't played for long, I went back to the first bonfire found in the Undead Settlement to explore more and see if I missed anything. I found an alternate route that led to another bonfire. From there, I went up and found a guy in a cage who turned out to be a pyromancy teacher. YES! He's freed and now back at Firelink Shrine. I continue on my quest and eventually,, I find that big building, which I just assumed was the church but it was a lift and I met another NPC who was trying to figure out the lift situation. This led me down and I found a most vicious beast with fast movements who killed me with three hits. I went back but this time, the lift when up and I found the beast that has been throwing huge spears at me in the Undead Settlement. With him no longer doing that, I went back to collect some of the treasures that were scattered about. Past the spear thrower area is a HUGE open area with a disgusting tree and from a distance, I can see that it's moving. I know the next boss is something called a Greatwood due to me seeing it online so I'm cautious and go back to a bonfire to ready myself. I return and this boss is MASSIVE and there are additional enemies all around. After a couple of times of failure and not knowing what to do, I summoned an NPC to help me. He completely trashed the Curse-rotten Greatwood with little to no help from me. Uh, yay? With no where else to go, I return to the lift, cheat to defeat the monster, and move onto to the Road of Sacrifices.
This area is filled with enemies who carry large branches, mushroom like creatures and crabs! The crabs vary in size and the monster like crabs are absolutely terrifying to how they move. There's two different ways to go here and I first went through a castle like area and that led to another boss, Crystal Sage. I couldn't beat it the first time so like I always do, I try the other way. The other road is blocked by two warriors, one with a greatsword, the other with a giant club. These guys are coming at me so fast that I can't use pyromancy so it's down to my ax and dodge rolling. I was able to beat the greatsword foe first and then the guy with the club. As I continue on, I see a note on the ground that says turn back. This isn't from another player but the game itself. I keep going on and find a bonfire and the next area is called Farron's Keep. I walked in the area for two minutes before turning back. This is my nightmare area. It's, from the looks of it, Old Man's Wharf from Dark Souls 1 and I hated that area with a passion. I still do to this day. I decided to go back and try my luck against the Crystal Sage. After a couple times of learning the patterns and such, I was able to defeat the boss without any summons or helps at all. As I continued on, I eventually got to the Cathedral of the Deep, where they say the first Cinder Lord is. After network problems, which basically threw me out of the game about 10 times yesterday due to an issue with live, I decided to end my 6 hour journey for the day.
THIS IS DARK SOULS. I feel like I barely made any progress but looking back on it, I really did and it's awesome. I beat two bosses, got more pyromancy skills, upped the number of Estus Flask uses and the effectiveness of it and got plenty of armor and weapons. I'm at the 10 hour mark now and it looks like I'll be fighting the first Cinder Lord so I'm pretty excited to see one of the major bosses in the game. I'll keep you updated...

Into A Corner
On Sunday May 1st, 2016, a monumental WWE Title match will take place. AJ Styles, a former PWG, ROH Pure, NWA, TNA and IWGP Heavyweight Champion, will get his first ever chance to win perhaps the biggest title of all when he challenges Roman Reigns. This match will be excellent. Just like Cena, Reigns will rise to the occasion when facing such a star like Styles. This is the match that will direct WWE for the summer months because WWE has a great opportunity here either way they book this. That is, if they don't go the simple Reigns just beats AJ route, which would definitely cause the crowd to riot. Oh, did I mention that this PPV is in Chicago? You know, the same building that vehemently destroyed John Cena back at Money in the Bank 2011? Yeah, it's going to be brutal. WWE really only has two options to salvage this situation.
1. Chicago is going to be a hot crowd, one that will definitely boo Roman Reigns and be solely behind Internet darling AJ Styles. WWE can finally realize that this whole Reigns as a face thing isn't working and finally do what they should've done at Survivor Series; turn him heel. Yes, let Reigns become heel. That way, the boos are meant for him then. He can cheat to beat Styles, do a post match beat up and start a feud with Dean Ambrose for the summer months, which would see Ambrose finally win the WWE Title. Ambrose can win at MITB in June, with Reigns winning the title back at Battleground. SummerSlam could see the big first time meeting between John Cena and Roman Reigns, unless they want to hold onto that for Wrestlemania 33. Reigns needs to turn heel though.
2. So, just in case you've been living under a rock lately, Doc (Luke) Gallows and Karl Anderson made their debut this past week, beating up The Usos. The Usos are Roman's cousins while Gallows and Anderson are former Bullet Club members with Styles. There's WAYYY TOO MANY coincidences in that right? What if, instead of Reigns turning heel (because let's be honest, Vince is so out of touch that he's probably too against that option anyway), it's AJ Styles turning heel? This option is less likely because it would mean Styles would have to defeat Reigns, who just won the title and is already in his 3rd reign, and that's just since November. Anyway, the finish would see Anderson/Gallows come in and hit the Magic Killer while the ref is down and about to attack Styles, but they do some type of bullet esque gesture and Styles takes advantage and wins the title. Awesome right? They could even bring up Balor with them as well. Styles as WWE Champion, Balor as NXT Champion and obviously Gallows and Anderson would win the Tag Titles pretty soon, maybe even at Extreme Rules. This whole feud could lead to a winner take all type match at a PPV. Bulletproof's Styles, Gallows and Anderson VS Reigns and The Usos. Once Bulletproof proves how crazy dominant they are, there will be only one guy left to stop them; John Cena. This could lead to the eventual AJ Styles VS John Cena match, taking place at SummerSlam, which could lead to Balor/Cena down the line and Balor/Styles even further. It could even lead to a big 5-on-5 Survivor Series match with Bulletproof taking on Team Cena. Add Ziggler to Bulletproof just because. Styles turning heel and joining his Bullet Club stable mates just works and could be very fun television for the coming months. Plus, it could lead to heel Balor, which is needed because his face status is very boring. Also, heel Balor VS Nakamura at NXT Takeover in June, YES PLEASE!!
Thanks to this match, Payback looks to be must see. Actually, the card itself could be really good. Styles/Reigns, Cesaro/Miz, Owens/Zayn, Jericho/Ambrose, Enzo and Cass/New Day, Gallows and Anderson/Usos, Charlotte/Natayla, a pre show match of Emma/Becky Lynch, maybe a US Title match and something with the League of Nations and The Wyatts, maybe not because Wyatt is hurt, but this PPV looks promising. Two of these matches was suppose to be on Wrestlemania. Chicago is in for a treat in 2 weeks, IF they go this way. Hey, if they want to cut some corners, why not either Zayn/Owens/Jericho/Ambrose take the US Title from Kallisto? Save some match time because three hours for all these matches just isn't enough for everything to get time. I guess as long as the WWE Title match, Owens/Zayn and Jericho/Ambrose get enough time, I'll be good.
And what's this no Sasha Banks in the title picture thing? Are we just suppose to forget she didn't get pinned at Wrestlemania? SummerSlam is too long of a wait for a woman who is UNDEFEATED in her division. Just saying...
UPDATE: 4/22/16
So, in a new twist, Samoa Joe finally accomplished his goal and won the NXT Championship about 11 months after his debut in the company, ending Balor's record 292 day reign. If you go on social media, many of the NXT stars are posting good bye posts to Balor which points to Balor finally getting his main roster call up. Balor has accomplished everything he could at NXT. He became NXT Champion, barely lost, went undefeated at the Takeover events (8-0) and became the face of the entire brand. While there were still money matches in Balor/Aries, Balor/Itami and of course, Balor/Nakamura, Balor belongs on the main roster. And it just so happens that Balor loss the title with his buddies debuting a week ago. Is this mere coincidence? NO. The longest reigning NXT champion in history doesn't lose his title at a house show without reason. Balor going over at Takeover Dallas makes sense; you can't have the face of the brand lose at the biggest show of the year with his departure coming soon.
Balor loss the title and probably will probably get his rematch at one of the live events they have this weekend, lose and make his main roster debut soon. This is my new theory on Payback now.
Styles and Reigns will have a great main event and there will be a referee bump. Gallows and Anderson will come down, only for The Usos to make the save. While they're all busy, Balor will run in and hit that shotgun dropkick in the corner and then the Coup de Grâce. Styles and AJ will do some type of gesture. Styles hits the Styles Clash and becomes champion. I think a Balor/Styles feud is money but give it time to mature. Give the WWE fans a reason to see the match. You gain a new heel group and top heel, which they need and you get Balor on the main roster. This could also lead to The Shield reuniting. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.
It's more likely that WWE will just have Reigns defeat Styles with no kind of shenanigans but let's not think like that this time!

Dark Souls III - Journal #1
As I've done with Dark Souls II and Bloodborne, I'm going to show you all the journey that I'm going to embark on. This entry will be short as I only have four hours in Dark Souls III due to real life so bare with me.
Now, when I usually start these games off, I pick whichever class has the most strength because I'm a melee build in every game I play. I saw they had a pyromancer class this time around and remembering just how much Pyromancy has helped me in the past two games, it was a no brainer to pick this class. After the intro you're dropped off in the first area, the Cemetery of Ash. This is the basic first area, where there are messages teaching you the basic mechanics of the game. No problems here. I immediately feel Bloodborne's effect on this game as it's much faster paced than the two previous Dark Souls games. It's business as usual until you get to a door that can't be opened. There's no prompt for it. Now, there's this giant solider in the middle of the area but he didn't move when I walked past him so I kept it moving. Obviously, Dark Souls don't play that. I went back to him and pulled the sword out of the soldier, which initiated the first boss fight. This guy is Iudex Gundyr. 10 minutes into Dark Souls III and you have the first beatable boss. IG isn't hard really, it was just surprising to me to see a boss this early. He has the basic attacks that can be telegraphed but once his health bar gets to half, like many of these bosses, he gets much harder as he transforms into some type of monstrosity. He beat me the first time but I got him the next, saving my pyromancy for the latter end of the fight, which worked because he is weak to fire. I beat the first boss!! After defeat, you can open the door and you get to the Firelink Shrine, which is the Majula/Hunter's Dream/main game hub of Dark Souls III. You use the sword you pulled out of Iudex Gundyr into the ground to create a bonfire. I stopped here on Tuesday.
Picking up the next day after work, I explored Firelink to see who did what and to familiarize who I was going to be buying stuff from, etc. Once done, I get to the bonfire and travel to the next destination. I walk to the door, open it and Dark Souls III truly begins as you're greeted with a gorgeous view of the next area, the High Wall of Lothric. This is a castle like area with many secrets and tough enemies. I died plenty of times. I died once to one of the knights. I died once because I didn't pay attention to a message saying the treasure chest was a mimic. This place reminds me a lot of the Forest of the Fallen Giants from Dark Souls II. I'm able to start making progress by finding another bonfire in the area. I haven't found a good enough weapon yet to replace my basic ax that came with the Pyromancer class, but I keep looking. Eventually, I get to what I absolutely knew was a boss area. It was an open area with a HUGE door just waiting to be opened. I was introduced to the game's 2nd boss, Vordt of the Boreal Valley. I really loved the names of the bosses so far! Vordt is harder than Iudex. By a lot. He's bigger and beast like and he can cause a new status effect, Frostbitten, by getting hit by his attacks. Vordt destroyed me. The first time, I came SOOOOO close to beating him as he had the smallest portion of life left but because I didn't heal earlier because I was cocky, he got me. This would proceed to me losing like 8 straight times to him. Eventually, I decided to go a different route and see what I hadn't explored yet, hoping to get more souls to level up and/or a different weapon or armor set. I'm glad I did because I found the old woman who gives you the banner you need to continue your journey after you defeat Vordt. I also found my first covenant by talking to her as well. Seeing that there was no where else to go, I went back to fight him, this time with some help from the summons outside the boss room. With their help, I easily beat Vordt, or, they easily beat Vordt. I got to the 2nd bonfire in the Undead Settlement before real life called.
So far, Dark Souls III is more of the same but it's charm, mystery and intrigue are all still there. No games makes me feel more nervous turning a corner than DS does. Once I make some more progress, I'll do another entry!

What a Weekend
WWE did a great job this past weekend with two dual events. NXT Takeover Dallas was another amazing show in the Takeover library while Wrestlemania 32 was a great show as well. YES, I said, Wrestlemania 32 was a great show. Look, I'm sorry the fans are mad that Reigns won the title again but I love that WWE stuck with what they had planned. Besides, you Attitude Era fans should be happy with what you got in Taker and Shane. Hahahaha, let's talk Takeover first.
American Alpha defeated the Revival to win the NXT Tag Team Titles. This was a great and hot opener that definitely had its rough moments but it was still a good tag match. Gable and Jordan are on fire and for me, it was very awesome to see Jason Jordan finally win a title in NXT. The man has worked very hard in the brand and I will never forget when NXT came to Philadelphia back in May and the crowd chanted Jason Jobber to him. What a difference a year makes. It was such an amazing moment for them. Aries and Corbin was a bit slow for my tastes and I'm not sure why they chose Baron as Aries first opponent. Aries was impressive but I'd like to see him against someone who can hang with him.
In the match of the weekend, Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Sami Zayn. These two went to war and had a match that the WWE Universe may not be used to but was welcomed with open arms. The standout moment for me was when the fans starting chanting Fight Forever. The match ended at the 20 minute mark but I wanted to see more from these two as I couldn't take my eyes off the in ring magic these two were performing. It was truly a fantastic debut for Nakamura and a fitting swan song for Sami Zayn as he goes to the main roster. Also, Nakamura may have the best entrance theme in NXT history along with one of the most charismatic moves I've ever seen. The guy is truly a star.
In a true shocker, Askua defeated Bayley by knockout to win the NXT Women's Title. Wow. I mean, Bayley losing really wasn't shocking but actually seeing it happen was. Bayley has the never say die attitude and seeing her lose was a bit sad. I know this will all lead to her main roster debut down the line but it was still a low moment for me as a fan. Good match and I'm definitely happy for Asuka as she's been on an absolute tear of the division. It was only right to give her the title.
Finn Balor and Samoa Joe did battle again in the main event. The two butted heads early, causing a nasty gash around the eye of Joe, which led to the match being stopped several times to stop the blood. Regardless of the injury, the match was still fast paced and hard hitting. Joe went for the submission but Balor reversed and rolled Joe up for the 3 count in a weird decision. Weird because Balor has been beating everyone on the roster, weird because many thought he was going to get the call up post Wrestlemania Raw to form the Balor Club with Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson. For him to beat Samoa Joe twice makes me very intrigued as to who will beat him for the title. It looks like Balor will beat Neville's record as he's about a week and a half away from holding the title for 288 days. The only guy I see beating him for the strap is Hideo Itami. That was always the guy I thought was going to be the one to end it for him. Itami has been out for almost a year and a lot has changed since he's been there so he's going to have to fight his way through some top competitors to get there. The way Shinsuke Nakamura carries himself just makes me believe he'll be champion much sooner than everyone thinks. The guy oozes charisma and has a strong fan following already. It's only a matter of time before he's NXT champion.
Wrestlemania 32 was a great show. I mean, I thoroughly enjoyed it, outside the Ambrose/Lesnar and Hell in a Cell matches. Neither one, for me, really lived up to what I expected. Ambrose/Lesnar was just thrown together and WWE should have definitely went with Wyatt/Lesnar instead. The match was way too short and they didn't use a lot of weapons at all. It was easily the biggest disappointment of the night for me. Shane/Taker was too long for me and is a match that will be remembered for just one spot and that's a problem. Yes, Shane diving off the HIAC was CRAZY and will live in WWE history FOREVER, it didn't save a boring match. Both guys moved very slow and it just never clicked for me. Great spot but just bad execution of the match.
Then, Shane, although he lost, was able to run Raw the next night, which was the worst post Wrestlemania Raw ever. I'll get more into that later. Basically, Shane jumped off the cage for nothing because Vince gave him what he wanted in the end anyway.
Enough of the bad about Wrestlemania. Let's talk the good! How about that Ladder match?!? It was insanely better than last year's and that's saying a lot because that match was awesome too. Zayn stole the show with his dive THROUGH the ladder and taking a massive but familiar ladder bump from his friend.
Zack Ryder won in a serious shocker, giving him his Wrestlemania moment. He's not the guy I would've picked last month but he's the one who won. He would lose the title The Miz on Raw, thanks mainly because of Miz's wife Maryse making a return. That was unexpected. How did they go from Zayn/Owens to Miz/Ryder/ Remember when WWE wanted to add more prestige to the IC Title/ They certainly aren't helping with this quick title changes. Great match though!
AJ Styles and Jericho had their best match together in an absolute wrestling match. The conclusion was set as Styles would get the win in his Wrestlemania debut. I guess no one told WWE that as Jericho shockingly pinned Styles after a 2nd Codebreaker. Styles would get revenge the next night, pinning Y2J in a Fatal Four Way for the #1 Contendership for the WWE World Heavyweight Title. It was strange to see Jericho go over, especially seeing how he put over Fandango 3 years ago. It didn't hurt Styles in the least bit though.
The New Day came out in Dragon Ball Z gear inside a GIANT box of Booty-Os!!! That was freaking awesome! The entrance was great but they lost to The League of Nations. Everyone saw that a mile away as the titles weren't up for grabs. After the match, the Lads started running their mouths, saying no three man group could beat them. Well, here come HBK Shawn Michaels, followed by Mick Foley, FOLLOWED BY STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN. What a moment! The Legends beats up the Lads and proceeded to dance a bit with New Day, that is, until Stone Cold decided he wasn't having any of that and gave Vegeta Xavier a Stunner. Awesome moment!
They announced during the pre show that the Divas Title would be retired and the winner of the Triple Threat between Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch would be crowned the new WWE Women's Champion. A changing of the guard in WWE as the women would no longer be referred to as Divas but as Superstars, putting them as equals with the men wrestlers. Great move especially with the three women they having competing in this match. The build for the match was great, the promo great and the individual entrances were great. The match became the highlight of Wrestlemania for me. They wrestled, they performed under immense pressure, they stole the show. It was the first female main event of Wrestlemania and it delivered on the big stage. Once they introduced the new title, it was obvious Charlotte was going to win. She's Ric Flar's daughter and she came out with a robe on. A ROBE. It even had pieces from the robe Flair wore when he retired at WM24. It was a wrap from there. Becky tapped out to Charlotte, meaning Sasha/Charlotte is coming. On Raw though, it looked like Natalya was the one stepping up to face Charlotte though. No no, not yet Nattie. Banks never got pinned so she's rightfully next in line. Hopefully, Banks and Nattie have some type of #1 Contender's match. Becky looks to be feuding with Emma next which should lead to an amazing set of matches down the line. The future is very bright for the women's division and it all started with this barn burner of a match here.
Baron Corbin won the Andre the Giant Battle Royale and is on the main roster now! Huge fan of Corbin's and I hope he reaches the top on the main roster. He has the look to succeed. They just need to push him as the next monster heel and NOT feed him to John Cena at Wrestlemania 33. That's all. Ziggler will be a good first feud for him as Ziggler can put on a fantastic match with literally everyone.
The Rock and Bray Wyatt had a promo, which led to Rock wrestling and beating Eric Rowan in 6 seconds. Wyatts were mad and surrounded the ring. Who would come to help The Rock/ Why, it's none other than John Cena. Yes, Cena would not miss Wrestlemania as he and Rock beat up the Wyatts. Glad to see Cena, it wouldn't be Wrestlemania without the guy. It also gave the Wyatts something to do and who better to perform with than Rock and Cena. They would attack the League of Nations on Raw. Is this leading to Wyatt's face turn or what? Why isn't there a plan in place for the Wyatts? Seriously, Bray Wyatt is the perfect villain for Roman Reigns. They've already shown they can have a great feud so what's the problem? I guess we'll just have to see where this goes.
Roman did what he was suppose to do last year; win the WWE Title in the main event. You man fans? Too bad as the Roman Empire started again on Sunday. I like Reigns, I think he's a great face of a generation. The fans hate him for whatever reason but get used to the guy as he's sticking around for awhile.
Like I said, great wrestling weekend that was highlighted by Zayn/Nakamura and the Women's Title Triple Threat. The Takeover/Wrestlemania duo was successful and I'm really looking forward to Takeover/SummerSlam in August!
American Alpha defeated the Revival to win the NXT Tag Team Titles. This was a great and hot opener that definitely had its rough moments but it was still a good tag match. Gable and Jordan are on fire and for me, it was very awesome to see Jason Jordan finally win a title in NXT.

Baron Corbin won the Andre the Giant Battle Royale and is on the main roster now! Huge fan of Corbin's and I hope he reaches the top on the main roster. He has the look to succeed. They just need to push him as the next monster heel and NOT feed him to John Cena at Wrestlemania 33. That's all. Ziggler will be a good first feud for him as Ziggler can put on a fantastic match with literally everyone.
The Rock and Bray Wyatt had a promo, which led to Rock wrestling and beating Eric Rowan in 6 seconds. Wyatts were mad and surrounded the ring. Who would come to help The Rock/ Why, it's none other than John Cena. Yes, Cena would not miss Wrestlemania as he and Rock beat up the Wyatts. Glad to see Cena, it wouldn't be Wrestlemania without the guy. It also gave the Wyatts something to do and who better to perform with than Rock and Cena. They would attack the League of Nations on Raw. Is this leading to Wyatt's face turn or what? Why isn't there a plan in place for the Wyatts? Seriously, Bray Wyatt is the perfect villain for Roman Reigns. They've already shown they can have a great feud so what's the problem? I guess we'll just have to see where this goes.
Roman did what he was suppose to do last year; win the WWE Title in the main event. You man fans? Too bad as the Roman Empire started again on Sunday. I like Reigns, I think he's a great face of a generation. The fans hate him for whatever reason but get used to the guy as he's sticking around for awhile.
Like I said, great wrestling weekend that was highlighted by Zayn/Nakamura and the Women's Title Triple Threat. The Takeover/Wrestlemania duo was successful and I'm really looking forward to Takeover/SummerSlam in August!
