WWE TLC 2018 Predictions

WWE Champion Daniel Bryan vs. AJ Styles – potentially the MOTN if they let these guys do what they do. DB will retain.

Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose – New Champ? I think Ambrose may take home the win here.

Braun Strowman vs. Baron Corbin (Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match) – will any tables be left in the building after this one? Probably not. My money is on Strowman.

Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey vs. Nia Jax – Nia Jax will cheat her way to victory!

SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka (Triple Threat TLC Match) – Asuka will take advantage of the hatred that Becky and Chatlotte have for each other. We may see a title change if she plots accordingly.

The Bar vs. The New Day vs. The Usos (SmackDown Tag Team Title Triple Threat Match) – this match is going to be AWESOME! I am hoping The Bar get the titles back.

Natalya vs. Ruby Riott (Tables Match) – oh the brutality. I have Riott on this one only because you know there will be interference.

Finn Bálor vs. Drew McIntyre – Unleash the demon and lets do away woth McIntyre once and for all

Elias vs. Bobby Lashley (Ladder Match) – poor Elias… he has no idea what he has gotten into. Bobby Lashley will take this one.

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy vs. Cedric Alexander – I have faith Cedric and get his belt back!

R-Truth & Carmella vs. Jinder Mahal & Alicia Fox (Finals of MMC Season 2) – R Truth and Carmella are going to kill it tonight

Rey Mysterio vs. Randy Orton (Chairs Match) Mysterio!!!

Remember you can watch LIVE on the WWE Network and place your bets with 5Dimes up until the bell of each match!

WWE Evolution Predictions

 

It’s been a while since I have written an article, I am ridiculously busy with my job since moving across the country, back to the North East, and getting settled into some projects I have started.

I didn’t forget about my readers here, and I have plenty more articles to come, just getting back into the swing of writing takes time and a lot of effort on my part. Especially if I want my writing to be coherent!

So on to my blind predictions as other than clips, I haven’t had time to watch WWE in months.

Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey vs. Nikki Bella –  I think there is going to be a Bella Screwjob on this one and somehow Nikki will go over by cheating.

SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair (Last Woman Standing Match)- Really looking forward to this match, I think honestly it could go to either woman, but I would like to see Becky continue to hold the title.

Trish Stratus & Lita vs. Mickie James & Alicia Fox – Trish and Lita, duh?

Historic Women’s Battle Royal Match (for a future Women’s Championship opportunity) EMBER MOON!!! Is that even a question?

Sasha Banks, Bayley & Natalya vs. The Riott Squad – The Riott Squad will cheat their way to victory.

NXT Women’s Champion Kairi Sane vs. Shayna Baszler – New champ? Maybe. I think Baszler will take it on.

Toni Storm vs. Io Shirai (Mae Young Classic 2018 Finals) I think Toni Storm is going to take the win this year, and clearly get signed by WWE, they would be stupid not to. Toni’s fan signing lines at shows are ridiculous.

Kick Off Show:

Rusev and Lana vs Cien Almas and Zelina Vega – I love Lana’s gear. She always looks sharp. Why the hell is there a commercial for the main event in the middle of this match? I hate that. Lana is getting better and better, and Zalina Vega is a force to be reckoned with. I think she’s going to go far. She proves that after Almas distracted Lana and she rolled her up in a schoolgirl pin with her feet on the ropes.

 

WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match
Cedric Alexander(c) vs Drew Gulak – Gulak has gotten really mean over the years… He tears Alexander apart right off the bat, but Alexander does fight back when he does get the upper hand Alexander gets mean. Alexander does a cool flip to Gulak outside the ring after Gulack powdered out. Gulak uses the ropes to lock in his submission, leaving Alexander kinda banged up. (Those are steel cables, they do hurt) Gulak tries to overpower Alexander but Alexander fights out. After multiple back and forth pin attempts and 2 counts, Alexander retains his title with a small package roll up.

 

Raw Tag Team Championship Match
The Revival vs The B Team(c)- After a short and fun match the B team retains the Raw Tag Team titles with the third roll up win on this pre-show.

I think the match agents are asleep at the wheel.

 

Main Show:

Intercontinental Championship Match
Seth Rollins w/Dean Ambrose vs Dolph Ziggler(c) w/Drew McIntyre – This match was entertaining as expected… There are so many small packages in this match, is it the move of the night? A rib on someone? WHY???? Rollins picks up the win with the King Slayer, and takes the Intercontinental Championship.

 

Smackdown Tag Team Championship Match
The New Day vs The Bludgeon Brothers(c) – Big E and Xavier Woods are in for this match but are getting absolutely pummeled by the Bludgeon Brothers. Xaviers gear looks like a Tide Pod. Match ends in a DQ once Rowan tries to kill TND with a giant mallet. Winners, The New Day.

No title change.

 

Money In The Bank Contract Match
Kevin Owens vs Braun Strowman for the MITB Contract – Watching Kevin Owens bump after Strowmans shoulder tackles him is everything… lol KO bounced when he hit the diamond plate. WOW. With a big powerslam its over. Braun did not let KO win.

 

Smackdown Women’s Championship Match
Becky Lynch vs Charlotte Flair vs Carmella(c)- If there was ever a time to #RehireEllsworth its now, as Carmella needs him more than ever. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SMALL PACKAGES ON THIS PPV? Other than that this match has been great. Carmella has come a long way, Becky looked awesome as always, and Charlotte is insanely athletic. Charlotte wins the title after pinning Becky Lynch. Becky got robbed. Crowd chanting for Becky afterward, she embraces Charlotte, then socks her in the face, the crowd explodes, pop of the night so far. Becky continues her assault on Charlotte outside the ring. Charlotte goes for a ride into the German Announce Desk. I guess thats an irish congradulations.

 

WWE Heavyweight Championship Match
Samoa Joke vs “The Phenominal” AJ Styles (c) – Shit talking to kick it off, AJ’s soccer mom hair is on point tonight. I wonder how many rest holds Styles will have to take to keep Joe in the match? He’s already blown up and super sweaty and we are only a few minutes in. This match is ok, but TBH these guys could do more, and the women’s match before it totally shows them up. This match is pretty meh, gets into some power moves, AJ takes Joe out, is bleeding then goes and gets his wife and kid, and leaves the ring. Samoa Joe follows AJ, and we cut to commercial. Did the match end? I am so confused. Oh well it was boring anyway.

 

Who wants to walk with Elias? I am so excited about his latest hit. Elias’s guitar neck snaps, the crowd chants “You Fucked Up” Elias throws some stuff around, it goes dark.

 

Daniel Bryan vs The Miz – Daniel Bryan looks better than ever. Not going to write much, as honestly I rather watch. This match was great. The Miz wins when Maryse gives him some brass knuckles from ringside, to knock Bryan out.

 

Baron Corbin vs Finn Balor – THE DEMON HAS RETURNED!!! The crowd is loving it and so am I. Poor Baron Corbin doesn’t know what he signed up for. The demon paint is on point today. The fear in Corbin’s eyes is epic. The Demon goes right after Corbin, Corbin looks screwed. Crowd is chanting “This is Awesome”. “The Demon” Finn Balor makes easy work of Corbin.

 

United States Championship Match
Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura – Jeff Hardy Mocking Nakamura is hilarious. I wonder if Hardy and Balor did their facepaint together tonight. The match overall was pretty entertaining and high intensity, but didn’t feel polished enough for SummerSlam. Nakamura retains.

 

Raw Womens Championship Match
Alexa Bliss(c) vs “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey- Ronda undid bliss. End of story. Rousy is the new Raw Womens Champion. Did you really think Bliss had a chance? And is it just me or did that turn to a shoot halfway in?

 

Universal Championship Match
Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar – Am I the only one who hopes Strowman cashes the MITB contract in? Or maybe Ronda comes for belt #2? LOL Oh yes I totally called it! Braun Strowman makes his way down to the ring. He asks for the mic. The crowd is going crazy. He announces he is standing here for the entire match and at the end of the night, one of those two is gonna Get These Hands! Yay. Reigns goes after Lesnar and gets off to a great start. Lesnar is a little slow, probably ring rust…lol Lesnar locks a guillotine on Reigns, Reigns counters and both men down. Not a bad start. Lesnar has got the guillotine on again, Reigns is trying to power out. He manages to get up and give Lesnar a spine buster. Lesnar takes Reigns to Suplex City… Is that a Jimmy Johns sandwich logo on Lesnar’s shorts?  Reins does a suicide dive, misses Lesnar, hits Strowman outside the ring, and Lesnar gives Strowman a F5. The Lesnar starts hitting Strowman with the suitcase and a chair, while he stupidly gives Reigns time to recover in the ring. He brings the chair and Reigns spears him, and gets the pin! Roman Reigns is your new Universal Champion! Braun Strowman is still down on the ground at ringside… Guess no one is going to catch those hands after all.

Tune in next time, for more snarky commentary from me!

Final WWE Money in the Bank Betting Odds, New Favorites and “Suspicious Activity”

These odds are courtesy of 5Dimes, a sports book accepting customers worldwide.

The Money in the Bank betting lines have settled since originally introduced last week and there are new projections for key matches. Alexa Bliss is now the favorite to win the Women’s MitB briefcase and remember Natalya was previously most favored to win that match, so this could be an internal leak. In the Men’s MitB, The Miz is still the participant with the best odds to win and is now an outright favorite.

The WWE Championship match was originally an even bet on either AJ Styles or challenger Shinsuke Nakamura. Those odds quickly moved in favor on Nakamura and have remained that way all week. Because this will be a Last Man Standing Match, a count out or DQ is not possible. This is a projected title change.

The Smackdown Women’s Championship match has a suspect discrepancy between the odds for initial and end of broadcast rulings. While Carmella is now favored to successfully defend against Asuka, there could be a dusty finish with Asuka getting the initial win according to the odds. There is also reason to believe the match will be restarted at some point in the Daniel Brian vs Big Cass return match. Another note on that match is that Cass is now favored to win instead of Bryan.

Ronda Rousey is still favored to defeat Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax, however Ronda’s odds have not moves much and actually has been moving in the opposite direction. Roman Reigns, The Bludgeon Brothers, Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley were favored since the first round odds came out and have remained the favorites the entire time.

The odds below are all “end of broadcast” ruling unless otherwise noted. A minus sign indicates the favorites, while a plus sign represents the underdogs. The higher the number after the plus or minus tells us how favorable or unfavorable that wrestler(s) is/are.

WWE Championship – Last Man Standing
AJ Styles(c) +140 vs Shinsuke Nakamura -180

WWE Raw Women’s Championship
Nia Jax(c) +370 vs Ronda Rousey -560

Carmella(c) -145 vs Asuka +105(inital ruling)

Smackdown Tag Team Championships
The Bludgeon Brothers(c) -750 vs Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson +450

Roman Reigns -1425 vs Jinder Mahal +725

Bobby Lashley -675 vs Sami Zayn +425

Daniel Bryan +125 vs Big Cass -165(initial ruling)

5 Things You Need To Know About Lucha Underground

Wrestling fans are still just discovering Lucha Underground! Here are 5 things you should know about the series.

1. Lucha Underground is a TV Drama about wrestling, not a “wrestling promotion”. They are not a touring company, the matches filmed in front of the live audience are part of the show’s focus on an underground wrestling fight club, and the stories of its participants. This is done with writers and media professionals who have not only a wrestling background but coming from all facets of TV and cinema,

2. The character development and storylines are what make Lucha Underground Special. The stories, mythical and mystical, as well as the interpersonal character relations, are well crafted. The way the show is presented and shot with professional movie camera’s give it a wholly unique feel, unlike any other wrestling product that has been presented in the past.

3. Women are equal to men in Lucha Underground and get the same opportunities. The Lucha Underground Championship has even been held by a woman! There are more than half a dozen bad ass women on the roster, that can hold their own and go toe to toe with the guys! We have seen women hold titles, and there is no women’s division, they fight for the same championships the men do.

4. Lucha Underground has become a family. Because of the way Lucha Underground is filmed, the fans, the cast, and the crew have spent at least a month together during the filming of the product. Because of the way it is set up, Lucha Underground has given fans a very respectable level of access to meet the wrestlers who want to be social. Not only are the wrestlers available to the fans, but the rest of the crew is extremely accommodating and friendly, and makes the whole vibe of the experience fun and relaxing. Combine that with 4 years of filming you have some serious friendships sprouting up, and many refer to themselves as members of the #LuchaKliq

5. Lucha Underground Season 4 just wrapped it’s filming, and as someone who personally attended, I can attest, this is the HOTTEST season yet! I can’t give you any spoilers as I signed an NDA, & we don’t have an exact release date yet but if you follow @LuchaElRey on twitter you will stay up to date with the release! Currently, Season 3 is being replayed on the El Rey Network and will be released on Netflix where you can already get seasons 1 & 2. Rumor has it Lucha Underground will also be coming to Sling TV for those of you who have elected against cable tv.

So if you are one of those who have been holding out, stop missing out and check out Lucha Underground for some of the best wrestling you will find anywhere on TV!
