Last Week In Pro Wrestling Today: Sasha Banks and Naomi vs WWE, Bobby Lashley gets caged - literally and more

Last week in professional wrestling was solid for AEW, but WWE crushed the game this week. Raw, while it is considered the secondary show, was really good this week and is building some good storylines. As a matter of fact, that is where we are going to start.

It’s all about the Monday Night Raw, dog…

Monday Night Raw started off with a pretty dope match in Omos and Bobby Lashley. This story is building towards something big. Two large people, throwing bombs at each other. Big moves and even MVP finding a way to get involved. Omos ended the match tossing Lashley through the cage. Yes, THROUGH THE CAGE! It was a super dope stunt. This is going to end at Hell in a Cell, but the stipulation has to be something BIG.

The story brewing right now is what happened with Sasha Banks and Naomi. In what was a surprise, Banks and Naomi walked out of the main event which was supposed to be a 6 pack match. It changed the energy for the evening. In a move which surprised even the announcers, the women’s tag team champions walked out of the match as they had issues with the creative process for their titles. WWE released a statement about the walkout, and even Michael Cole addressed in on SmackDown. It’s a tough situation as I more times than not side with the talent. More will follow I am sure. Just pay attention to social media.

Cody Rhodes is looking to end his feud with Seth Rollins. In dropping one of his hardest promos since his return to WWE. The challenge was laid out, Rhodes/Rollins Part 3, Hell in a Cell. Seth responded laughing as he accepted the challenge. Now, we wait for the pay per view.

Time to Layeth The SmackDown…

SmackDown. The A1 show for WWE put on one of their best shows in recent memory. The build toward the main event was awesome. We saw Shinsuke defeat Sami Zayn in a hard fought match. We also saw Xavier Woods get a W over Butch and then make a promise to have backup for the New Day. Who could it be? WHO? WHO?

In one of the best matches either team has had, The Usos and RK-Bro tore the house down. Each team was able to showcase all their arsenal. The most impressive had to be Riddle. He’s battling injuries and was able to carry his weight. The high point came as Riddle was about to land a SUPER RKO off the top rope, Paul Heyman creates the distraction, and here comes your Tribal Chief to knock off Riddle the ropes allowing Jey to hit the big Splash to win the Raw tag team championships. Riddle and Randy Orton will be out of commission for a bit as they will be undergoing some medical evaluations. But, damn what a show.

It’s AEW Dy-na-mite!

AEW Dynamite was pretty good as stated earlier. The appearance of Johnny Elite as the Joker to face Samoa Joe gave the crowd some serious energy going forward. Joe picked up the victory but Johnny killed it in his spot.

It feels as though CM Punk and Hangman Page have yet to really hit their boiling point yet. Page had a match with CM Punk as the guest commentator. Hangman won to no one’s surprise, but how he won was the story. After he hit his Buck Shot Lariot, he stared down Punk. Picked up his opponent and hit him with a GTS much like Punk won using the ‘Punk’ Shot Lariot to his opponent last week. They crossed paths on the ramp and neither one threw a punch. The heat hasn’t been as high, but we will see what happens next week when they go face to face.

MJF. I swear, if there is a heel out there better than MJF, I haven’t seen them. MJF is one of those guys that just gets ‘it.’ Whatever it is, MJF has it in droves. Wardlow has been built up well in this program too. He took his lashes without flinching until MJF hit the groin shot and him and Shawn Spears tore him apart. Wardlow gets Spears in a cage match with MJF as the special referee. So, that will be an interesting spin on how Wardlow must keep his composure to eventually get his match with MJF at Double or Nothin’.

The Jericho Appreciation Society has beef with almost everyone. Apparently sports entertainers are frowned upon in AEW. The Blackpool Combat Club and the JAS exchanged some words which turned into what you would expect, a fight. Regal and Jericho were great, but what else is new. They’re always great. How this will pan out with BCC, JAS, and Kingston with Santana and Ortiz is going to be colossal. Can’t wait to see it unfold.

Lastly, this one has just been entertaining as hell. Hook and Danhausen, HookHausen will be in a tag match with Tony Neese and Mark Sterling. The fans have spoken, Tony Khan has answered. Now we wait it out for Double or Nothin’.

A lot happened this week in professional wrestling. There was a lot to cover and if I missed it and you want to talk about it, drop a comment. I didn’t forget Adam Cole and Jeff Hardy put on a great match. There were many more to look at. Hit me up on the social media, twitter: @zero2hero or IG: Rproctor23. Talk with you all next week!

This Week In Pro Wrestling: Long Live Scott Hall, Seth Rollins fights his bestie, Keith Lee's big moment

Hey yo! This was another dope past week in WWE and AEW. Even with the madness that is the NCAA basketball tournament, professional wrestling had some of their best work yet this week. Let’s start with WWE.

A Raw night to remember….

Last Monday Night Raw started the night right. Paying tribute to the ‘Bad Guy’ Razor Ramon, Scott Hall. One of the greatest characters ever created. ‘Bad times don’t last, but Bad Guys do!’

Kevin Owens opened the show still antagonizing the Texas Rattlesnake Stone Cold Steve Austin. KO found his way to Mania, but in doing so, he left his best friend Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins scrambling to figure out how he was going to end up in the show of shows. Then hit the cameraman with a Stunner. Message sent, now we wait to see how Stone Cold will respond.

There is also another story developing I haven’t given the proper respect to. Damian Priest and Finn Balor has turned out to be pretty good. Damian Priest has tapped into his inner heel as he keeps pursuing Balor to get his United States Championship back. They collided again on Monday. To add some fuel to the fire, Austin Theory even poked his head in. Just his presence alone was enough to distract Balor giving Priest the opening to pin the US Champ and essentially put him as the number 1 contender. I wonder how this develops and if we have the Damian side of Priest, do we get the Demon King to respond?

Becky Lynch sent a message to her challenger Bianca Belair. Bianca had an amazing match with Dudrop and hit her with the K.O.D. The Raw Women’s Champ struck. Cobra Kai style, Becky struck HARD! So much so, she may have just jeopardized Bianca’s opportunity at Mania due to injury in her throat.

RK-Bro may have found their opponents for Mania, because the Street Profits are UP! AND THEY WANT THE SMOKE! Riddle had a match with Montez Ford and it was savagely interrupted by the Alpha Academy. They left both tag teams beaten and broken. This may be the way ahead for the Raw Tag Champs. Let’s see how this develops. Randy Orton won’t take this lightly as the Viper is always ready to strike with or without warning.

Seth Rollins, still in his funk had an idea. He wanted to use KO’s idea and spin it in his favor. Sonya Deville thought it was a great idea as well. KO and Seth squared off in the main event with the winner hosting their show at Mania. What a match it was. They tore it down. We as fans got the best from Seth and KO, with KO getting the victory. Leaving Seth to wonder how he will have something to do in Dallas. I mean, is Cody Rhodes an option? Or could we see a former Shield member return? Makes you wonder.

Time to layeth The Smackdown….

Raw was good, but everything WWE related revolves around Smackdown. Roman Reigns opened the show, and the drip was FIRE. Operating on G.O.D Mode, Roman gave his promo and then it happened. Special Counsel Paul Heyman informed Roman, Brock Lesnar was on his way only to see Brock driving a forklift into his truck. A super dope stunt! After destroying the Tribal Chief’s truck, the Bloodline found another way out in another truck only for Brock to tear the door off as they sped away.

Update on Big E. He’s walking around apparently just being bored according to his social media feeds. Just waiting for the rehab work to start so we can see our guy back in the ring soon.

It’s all about All Elite Wrestling, too…

AEW came in HOT on Wednesday night. One of their best shows this year. Adam Cole and reDRagon took on Hangman Page and the AEW Tag Champs Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy. Adam Cole picked up the pin on Jungle Boy after a ridiculously hard fought match. This match just pushed along the storyline between Hangman and Cole. These two are far from done.

The Jericho Appreciation Society. That is all really need be said about this segment from the GOAT. He is not a professional wrestler. He and his stable are sports entertainers. Trigger those marks Jericho. Such a great segment. They are making their mark going after Eddie Kingston and Ortiz/Santana. Can’t wait to see the response.

AND NEWWWWW!!!! Thunder Rosa took down Brit Baker, D.M.D in a match of the year candidate. It was hard hitting, bloody, violent, and AWESOME! These two women have been on this course for almost a year, and this was the only way to end their story. Locked in a cage, 1v1. Thunder Rosa won clean. Now what is next for Brit Baker? This isn’t the end, but she’s got a journey ahead of her.

Who could forget Wardlow/MJF? MJF didn’t forget how Wardlow contributed to his loss to CM Punk. MJF and the Chairman Shawn Spears cost the Face of the Revolution his opportunity to collect his first title in AEW. This won’t go unpunished by the man who has the Power bomb Symphony. The big man has got to be seeing red. How does he get back at the man who had him under contract as support?

Unleash the Rampage…

Keith Lee had a big moment on Rampage. His build is coming along great as he and the Max Caster crushed had a great match, only for Lee to pick up the victory. Ricky Starks and Powerhouse Hobbs stuck their noses in to jump the Limitless one. Here’s where things got interesting. Swerve showed up to help Keith Lee. They shook hands. This could mean Lee has back up with it comes to Taz’s crew. Where we go from here could be something special. Let the excitement begin.

What a great week for pro wrestling. We are in the thick of everything, from the Road to Wrestlemania, and mix in the excitement of March Madness. If I missed anything drop it in the comments and we can definitely talk more about this week. Or feel free to hit me up on social media: Twitter: @zero2hero or IG: Rproctor23. See you all next time!
