NXT Live Coverage And Results – November 21, 2018

•

NXT Date: November 21, 2018 Location: Staples Center, Los Angeles, California Commentators: Mauro Ranallo, Nigel McGuinness, Percy Watson After everything that went down on Saturday, it’s time for a little breather. That tends to be the best thing that you can get the week after Takeover and that’s even better the day before a holiday. There are some matches from before Saturday’s Takeover, which tend to be pretty entertaining in their own right. Let’s get to it. We open with the traditional long form recap of Takeover. Opening sequence. Keith Lee vs. Fidel Bravo The fans sing about basking in Lee’s glory so the much smaller Bravo shoves him in the fans and demands respect. Lee takes him into the corner for a double chop to the chest, followed by the Supernova for the pin at 1:59. Result: Keith Lee b. Fidel Bravo – Supernova (1:59) Video on Kairi Sane vs. Shayna Baszler. Baszler doesn’t want to talk about Duke and Shafir getting involved in her match. We look back at Kassius Oh..

Major Match With Huge Stipulations Set For Tables Ladders And Chairs

•

The fallout from Sunday. One of the biggest stories coming into Survivor Series was that of Braun Strowman. After losing his latest chance at the Universal Title back at Crown Jewel, Strowman wanted one more shot at Brock Lesnar. The match was approved, providing that Strowman lead the Monday Night Raw team to victory at Survivor Series. Strowman did that, but it’s a little more complicated than that. This week on Monday Night Raw, Commissioner Stephanie McMahon said that Strowman can have his shot at Lesnar at the Royal Rumble, provided that Strowman can defeat Baron Corbin at Tables Ladders And Chairs. That was fine with Strowman, who decided the match would be a TLC match. However, if Corbin wins, Strowman doesn’t get a title shot and Corbin is the permanent General Manager. If he loses though, he’s out of power. Here’s how it went down: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: Just in case you wanted one of the few stories coming into Survivor Series to actually stic..

Time to find out how much of a monster he really is. Tonight on Raw, Braun Strowman teamed with Elias and Finn Balor to take on the team of Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre in an elimination match. During the match, Corbin, Lashley and McIntyre gave Strowman a relentless beatdown, including crushing his arm with the steel steps. After the assault, The Monster Among Men was taken to a medical facility, where it was announced that he suffered a shattered elbow. You can see a video of the assault below: [This post contains video, click to play] From WWE.com: Earlier in the night, Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon scheduled a Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match between Strowman and Corbin at the WWE TLC pay-per-view.

Monday Night Raw Live Coverage And Results – November 19, 2018

•

Monday Night Raw Date: November 19, 2018 Location: Staples Center, Los Angeles, California Commentators: Michael Cole, Corey Graves, Renee Young It’s night three in Los Angeles and we’re on the side that won. Last night at Survivor Series, Raw completely swept Smackdown in the battle for brand supremacy. Therefore, you can expect a heck of a lot of bragging this week, which likely means Stephanie time. We’re less than a month away from TLC, while likely means no Brock time. Let’s get to it. Here’s Baron Corbin to open things up…and he introduces Stephanie. She wants to soak it in a bit because last night they proved they were the best. Tonight they’re celebrating but first Corbin wants Stephanie to follow through on her promise of making his position permanent. Instead here’s Braun Strowman to interrupt. He wants his match with Corbin so Stephanie makes the match for TLC. She throws in a bonus though: if Corbin wins he’s permanent GM but if he loses, he loses all authority. Strowman..

Fusion #31 Date: November 16, 2018 Location: Cicero Stadium, Chicago, Illinois Commentators: Rich Bocchini, Tony Schiavone It’s time for a fresh taping cycle as the company makes its Chicago debut. The main event tonight is Sami Callihan vs. Tom Lawlor in a Chicago street fight as Lawlor continues his march towards the World Title shot in February. Other than that it could be almost anything, which is one of the areas where MLW shines. Let’s get to it. We open with a recap of Low Ki ripping Daga’s ear apart to retain the World Title last week. Konnan arrives and is greeted by Low Ki, Salina de la Renta and Ricky Martinez. Low Ki talks about adding Daga’s ear to his trophy case. Now he wants something from Konnan though, because Konnan hasn’t gotten the idea just yet. Real men settle their differences differently around here and Low Ki challenges him to a fight. Konnan says Low Ki knows better because he’s retired. Salina taunts him a bit and Konnan seems a little more intrigued. He ..

Video: Top Ten Superstars Going Through Glass

Cue glass shatter! There are certain objects that are tropes in wrestling. It might be a chair, a table, a ladder (someone could make a show with that name) but another is throwing people through glass. This makes for a great visual as going through glass is one of those things that always looks awesome. It’s even happened enough that WWE can look at a countdown of such moments. There better be some Steve Austin entries. [This post contains video, click to play] WWE has released a new Top Ten video looking at Superstars Getting Thrown Through Glass. The video is exactly what it sounds like, with a look at wrestlers being thrown through glass in one for or another.

WWE Delivers a Bizarre ‘Survivor Series’ Event and the Crowd Goes Wild

•

Survivor Series 2018 will go down as perhaps one of the most bizarre events in recent WWE history. The overall tone of the night was unsettling and the characters themselves acted completely out of character. Though it is just one event in month 11 of 12, the fact is that Survivor Series may be an indication of something much bigger happening in WWE. One of the most concerning themes of Survivor Series was the amount of unpredictable crowd reaction. Many would say that if an audience brings the hype and if the energy is high, then there is nothing better for a pro wrestling event. It’s hard to argue that notion and it’s certainly more entertaining to watch the product at home when the live crowd is completely in tune with the event. But the bloodthirsty level of hype from the Survivor Series crowd was a bit unexpected. WWE fans typically have their favorites of course. Oftentimes those favorites are heels, instead of babyfaces. That’s actually commonplace in WWE and it’s likely not go..

Check Out Undertaker’s Most Supernatural Moments

Sometimes, you have to go a little further. A ten year career in wrestling is impressive. A fifteen year one is a very long run. Twenty years is a rarity anymore.

It just never ends. Things wouldn’t feel right if Enzo Amore wasn’t in the news somehow.

Video: NXT Star Making The Move To The Main Roster

Monster On The Loose. NXT has one of the most packed wrestling rosters in the world with some incredible talent up and down the card. They have a great mixture of power, speed, technicians and a few monsters as well. It turns out though that one of those monsters might not be long for the roster as it’s time for him to make the long awaited move up to the main roster. Tonight at Survivor Series, a video announced that Lars Sullivan would be coming to the main roster soon. There is no word on the date of his debut or which brand he will be debuting on. Sullivan has been wrestling in NXT since 2015 with a career highlight of challenging Aleister Black for the NXT Title in a losing effort at Takeover: Chicago II. He is a monster with a rather high IQ, which leads to some rather intelligent promos.

Who Won The Battle For Brand Supremacy At Survivor Series?

It didn’t go so well for one side. Over the last few years, Survivor Series has been built around the idea of brand supremacy. Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live had formed teams for a series of matches with the team winning the most matches being awarded bragging rights for the year. Monday Night Raw has won two years in a row so it was time for a change of pace. So how did SmackDown Live do this year? This year at Survivor Series, Monday Night Raw completely swept SmackDown Live, winning by a score of 6-0. Monday Night Raw won both elimination matches as well as all four champion vs. champion matches, with the only one not coming via clean pin being Ronda Rousey defeating Charlotte via DQ.

Reason Why Matt Riddle Wasn’t Announced for NXT Takeover: War Games II

The opening match at NXT Takeover: War Games II was a “surprise” bout between Matt Riddle and Kassius Ohno. The match didn’t last long.
