Intro

If the last seven days have taught me anything, it's this. Expect the unexpected. From chaos, unwavering fan support, and a bonkers press conference. The rd to Wrestlemania, is starting to look very Interesting. This is why, I love this time of year, from fantasy booking, the clear piverts, and the chaos that comes with the territotry. This week has been interesting to say the least, with the many story aspects, that will come from Thursdays press conference. Strap yourselves in everyone, because the rd to Wresrlemania just got over the first of Its Many dumps.

Replay from Las Vegas and HHH segment

The worlds attention this week, has been focused on. Las Vegas Navada. From the Superbowl press activities, to. WWE, hosting the Mania kick off press Conference, which was the mother of all swerves. It was later confimed, that. Roman Reigns, will face. Cody Rhodes, at the showcase of the immortals. Thursday was a moment in wrestling history, that I won't forget, with the promise that came from Vegas, and the cinema theatrics, that oozed out Of it's every pour. Just solidified what I have thought all along. The mistreatment of Cody Rhodes was a work. Nothing more, nothing less. HHH pretty much confirmed this, in his opening segment, he layed down the power mark, He made. Cody, and. Roman official, whilst taking shots at the peoples champ. Rocky sucks echoed throughout the arena, whilst. Cody chants took over. But the big question is, who will Seth Rollins face at the show of shows, he will face the winner of the mens Chamber Match, with qualifying Matches taking place over the next week.

Drew Mcintyre vs Aj Styles Elimination Chamber Qualifier

From Drews promo before Match, in which he took credit for Cody's achievements, him forlaying his plan for the chamber, and Mania, to. LA Knight on commentary, this was a well worked opening Match, from the solid in ring work, the good chemistry, Aj taking a water break, courtesy of. LA Knight. I had a lot of fun watching this. Drew got the win, with a claymore, thanks to. Aj, getting distracted by Knight. Ok. I'm going to say it. Can I please have more of LA Knight on commentary please. He was gold in my opinion. I liked all of this.

Sami Zayn and Randy Orton segments

Sami Zayn and Randy Orton, both had segments, in which they were a study in contrast, with one being optimistic, and the being a realist. I thought this was an interesting way to look at the main event.

Pretty deadly segment

What do you get, when you have Queen Liz as a cloud, and me spitting a load of Dr Pepper Zero, all over my TV screen, a dumb, and funny segment that's what. I loved all of this. Stupidity in wrestling forever.

Bianca Belair vs Michin Womens Elimination Chamber Qualifier

Bianca Belair, beat. Michin to advance to the womens. Elimination Chamber Match. In decent TV Match.

Bron Breakker and HHH segment

Bron Breakker, had a chat with HHH, about which show he should go to, until. Paul Heyman entered stage right. HHH told him to leave. Paul said no problem, but he will be back next week, with my Tribal Chief, and. The Rock. And just like that, the cinema continues. I feel a sequel coming on. 

Bayley segment

Bayley came out next, and had the promo of the night, she addressed the fans, after last week's act of betrayal, from the group that she built, she spoke about how. Damage Ctrl meant everything to her, making look like nothing but school playground Bullies, but she will teach Iyo a lesson at Mania, Dakota Kai came, she proclaimed her Innocence, whilst putting over Bayleys achievements, she had the look of being caught between the rock, and a hard place, Iyo Sky, and. The Kabuki Warriors came out, Dakota bails, and leaves Bayley all alone. But before the pack ascended on the ring, Dakota looked certain to turn on Bayley, as she stood their with a steelchair in her hand, but she went for her former teammates. In the aftermath all you could hear was chants of, hug it out, hug it out. I liked all of this.

DIY vs Bate and Dunne

I liked this, it was solid, quickpaced, and well worked. Bate, and. Dunne, got the win, when. Pete Dunne smashed Tomasso Ciampa, with his bitter end finisher. They will now face. The Judgement Day, at. Elimination Chamber.

Byron Saxton and Dominik Mysterio segment

Byron Saxton interviewed the Human Oven backstage, when who should step in. Kevin Owens, the two will face each other on Raw this Monday, in an. Elimination Chamber qualifier. R Truth then showed up, wondering were Tom and Nik have gone, he had a bit of funny patter with Kevin, which made me laugh.

Logan Paul segment

Everyone's favourite manchild. Logan Paul, then did his best crying man act, when asking Nick Aldis, who is the next contender for his. United States Championship, Aldis, then took pleasure in telling him, that his opponent, and him, have a history, he will face. The Miz. That went down like a lead balloon.

Randy Orton vs Sami Zayn. Elimination Chamber qualifier

I liked this main event, from the decent level of physicality, the solid in ring work, to. Randy getting the win with an RKO. Was this the TV Match of the year, no. But did it leave me feeling very sports entertained, yes, because that's what It's all about.

Aew Collision

Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli vs Star Jnr and Espinge

I didn't like this. The Match felt flat from the start, the fans felt cold, even though the action was good. I just couldn't get Into it. It was a slow burn, that eventually turned into something watchable. Moxley battered Star Jnr with elbows, and then putting him In an armbar for the win. Mox then took to the mic, and cut a promo, putting the tag team division on notice, in the only way Jon could. Step up, or get stepped on, and then as if by magic. Ftr came out, the stair down was epic. A fight broke out, complete with security, and referee seperations. In the words of Guy Fieri, that's money.

Daniel Garcia vs Shane Taylor

Daniel Garcia, beat. Shane Taylor In a solid TV Match, from the decent physicality, and. Garcia winning by a knee bar submission. This was good stuff.

Lexi Nair Interviews Eddie Kingston

Lexi Nair interviewed Eddie Kingston, and oh my god, what came next screamed, yes please. He gave his thoughts on. The Young Bucks. And then challenged Bryan Danielson, to a Match at Revolution, but there is a stipulation involved. If he wins. Danielson would have to shake his hand. Oh my f****** days. Give me this Match. Aew take my £19.99 I don't need it.

Brian Cage vs The Outrunners

Brian Cage, beat the two men with the best names in wrestling. Turbo Floyd, and. Truth Magnum in a squash Match. Turbo Floyd, and. Truth Magnums names sound like an advert for contraception. Also a Mascot for the Vegas Nights, got decked by Cage, after he did the Nana dance. Hook came out to make the save.

Roderick Strong and Tomohiro Ishii segment

Roderick Strong Interrupted Tomohiro Ishii's Interview with Renee Paquette. This forshadowed what was to come later, and also. Roderick Strong vs Ishii 2. at a later date. Yes please.

Tony Schiavone Interviews Adam Copeland

Tony Schiavone interviewed Adam Copeland, he spoke about how Is now 3rd in the rankings, he gave his thoughts on. Matthew, and. Nicolas Jackson, and what they did to. Darby, and. Sting, sending them a stark warning. Tony asked him the question, what is next for him? and who's belt does he want a shot at. The main prize is out of his reach, and he would love to face. Eddie Kingston, at a later date. So that left him with one other option. Christian Cage, and his TNT Championship. Daniel Garcia came out. Both men had a great promo dual. The two will come face to face on Dynamite this week, and the winner will face Cage at Revolution. Copeland gave Garcia, a stark warning, telling him, that taking food from off of his table, is not a clever thing to do. I liked all of this.

Stokeley Hathaway segment

Ok, now don't get me wrong. I love. Kris Statlander, and,Willow Nightingale. Skye Blue, and. Julia Hart, and all the promise that has, but I have one thing on my wish list. Can I please have some more Stokeley Hathaway on my TV please, and one other thing, what's wrong with Evanescence. Everybody's Fool Is an absolute banger. I'm feeling hungry, I think I'm going to cook myself a lies pizza.

Brody King vs Mark Briscoe

I loved this Match, from the excellent pace It was worked at, to the solid in ring work. From Marks chair tope, to him getting battered into the ring post, on two occassions, both men having a slap contest. And Mark getting launched through a table, after a froggy bow attempt. thanks to that jezzabelle Julia Hart causing a distraction. Brody hit Mark with a gonzo bomb for the win. Julia stabbed Briscoe in the head, and. Brody opened him up. I like a niece bit of the old claret, don't you.

Deonna Purrazzo vs Kiera Hogan

Deonna Purrazzo, beat. Kiera Hogan, in a flat TV Match, that offered up nothing.

Timeless Toni Storm vs Queen Aminata

 I had a lot of fun watching this, even though by the sounds of things, the fans didn't. Storm got the won, and will debut her new film on Dynamite this Wednesday. It's called. Wet Ink.

Orange Cassidy vs Tomohiro Ishii Aew International Championship

If I had one word to describe this Match it would be. War, because this was the physical embodiment of the word, from start to finish. Both mens styles, made for a fantastic, chaotic Match. As the near falls started to flow, both men proceeded to beat the s*** out of each other, Cassidy hitting Ishii with a beachbreak, for a close near fall was the Matches high point. Cassidy then got the win, with a snug roll up. This. Was brilliant.
