This Week In Pro Wrestling: Brock Lesnar goes beast mode, Becky Lynch stands tall and Jericho's back at it
This past week in professional wrestling was INTENSE. Did you all see how Brock Lesnar straight up DESTROYED Bobby Lashley?! I don’t know if that was a shoot or not but holy sh*t, who knew Brock could cut a promo like that without Paul Heyman? How will the All Mighty respond to the heat dropped on him from Lesnar? Will it be from Lashley or will it be from MVP? Lashley needs to save face and QUICK! The Raw locker room is in trouble if they come across Lashley.
The WWE’s packed with upsets, twists and everything in-between
Continuing on WWE’s Raw, the surprise defeat of RK-Bro at the hands of the Alpha Academy shook us all. Otis and Gable are now your Raw tag champs, where do Randy and Riddle go from here? You can expect Randy to put a foot in Riddle’s a$$ some how, but will they get another shot at the AA or do they have to go to the back of the line. It has to end at the Rumble right? I mean, it has to….bro.
The Miz and Edge storyline is keeping me super interested in the mixed tag match. While it still is cool to have Edge back, Miz is carrying this storyline due to the fire he is putting on the mic. Edge and Beth may win, but Miz has won this battle. Certain people get it when it comes to professional wrestling and entertainment, the Miz is one of them.
The BIGGEST surprise of last Monday, Doudrop though? After Becky Lynch’s interference, Doudrop gets Becky at the Rumble. If I am reading between the lines, we are on our way to see Becky/Belair at Mania like we got Belair/Sasha. Not discounting Doudrop, but this match has to make Becky look formidable towards that build. Her character is not ready for Big Time Beck’s.
Continuing on the women’s division, Charlotte and Lita? WWE still goes to this well quite a bit, but it may work. Trish held her own, can Lita do the same?
The grand finale, SHIELD brothers going toe to toe again. Roman has had very little success against Rollins. After watching Smackdown, Rollins is living in Roman’s head rent free right now. Roman needs to exercise those demons of Wrestlemania, where Rollins had probably one of the biggest moments in Mania history cashing in on Roman/Lesnar to capture the WWE title.
It’s deeper than WWE, just look at what AEW’s brewing up
It wasn’t only an intense week in WWE, AEW is building towards something. What I cannot say, but it’s definitely awesome. CM Punk and Wardlow was great. Wardlow essentially destroyed Punk only to be rolled up and pinned. It was power bomb after power bomb. Punk thought he got his match with MJF next, only to find out hes got a date with Shawn Spears and his steel chair.
The return of Lance Archer into the championship mix was definitely intense. He CRUSHED Hang Man Page. It was a statement to the champ, I got next. I wonder how the champ responds. No way he lets that go unanswered. We also saw Cody Rhodes is making his comeback this coming week. The man who started it all, is now getting the Triple H treatment. He’s getting his comeback, but are the fans going to accept him? Who steps up to challenge him for his title?
Andrade though, I thought had to the moment of the night. He tried to buy Darby Allin. Million dollar man style, ‘everyone’s got a price.’ It legit made me laugh. It was great television. He wants all the smoke, and is willing to pay someone to take it for him.
Ending on a high note, Jericho and Kingston. Nothing really needs to be said here. This has been building for some time now. We are now going to start to reap the benefits of their talents on the microphone as they build to an eventual clash. Who gets the upper hand? My money is on the GOAT, Jericho. He will continue to mess with Kingston, and his hot head personality. Kingston will fight til he collapses, and then Jericho will put him down. Just enjoy the build. It will be AWESOME!
