WWE Wrestlemania 38 Night 2 - Quickfire Review

Well I'm done with work and a rough day in general, time to finish off the Wrestlemania season

Night 1 was already in the books as a decent time, a review for that can be found here but now it's time for Night 2, the one WWE invest more stock into, so let's get to it.

Spoilers for Night 2 (and references to Night 1) below

Pre-Show

Just like Night 1 it was 2 hours of next to nothing, don't watch it. Heyman and Lashley did have some good promos but seriously, we've had 4 hours of WWE not give us wrestling within 2 days, not like we had a scenario where neither the Intercontinental nor US champion were on the card but Happy Corbin was, or that we had to move one match from Night 1 over to Night 2 because things overrun...I'd say food for thought but honestly I want to say Do Fucking Better.

Main Card

Another America the Beautiful thing I don't care about, also how dare WWE flaunt Rey Mysterio's visage after what they made him do last night, I will never stop being angry at it, the man is far too generous for WWE's good.

Triple H came out to a big pop, leaving his boots in the ring to make his retirement official. It's a sad thing to see, but health comes first. Trips will definitely lead the next HOF class I bet, hopefully he can be GM as well so Sonya Deville can actually do some fucking wrestling.

Gable Stevenson was here as well, but in the crowd this time.

RKBro [Randy Orton & Riddle] (c) def. Street Profits [Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins] & Alpha Academy [Chad Gable & Otis] Gotta say as tacky as it was I kinda liked the twin vipers hologram for RKBro, but champions don't come out first, it's Wrestling Decorum. A shit ton of talent in this tag match, rated to underrated, the fact that it's 'no DQs' but still opting for legal tags was weird though. Crowd was booming for Orton's hot tag, and whenever RKBro were side by side, Riddle intercepted a Ford Frog Splash with a super RKO and then Gable made the mistake of doing a flying nothing against Randy Orton. It was a fun match, could've gone longer but the size of the card and refusal to use the Pre-Show seems to be the reasoning.

Street Profits did not turn heel yet, giving them a drink with Gable Stevenson. Chad Gable swatted the cup from Stevenson's hand so Gable beat up Gable with a Belly to Belly, I guess Gable's time not being a jobber is over.

Bobby Lashley def. Omos The battle of Bobert Lashington and Edward James Omos, it's a match I felt a little sad about. Lashley was WWE champion, he got an injury that could've wrote him off Wrestlemania so they ripped the title off him and threw it on Brock in a horrendous Elimination Chamber PPV, only for Lashley to recover in time for Mania and return to challenge an inexperienced Omos, if WWE had put faith in Lashley we could easily have been looking at 2 world title matches for the men. As for the match, it was a slog, Omos did power spots, Lashley strikes back, a suplex and 2 spears ends Omos' undefeated run.

Johnny Knoxville def. Sami Zayn So it's another celebrity match against a beloved worker. Knoxville still repping the Andy Kaufman outfit and goggles walked into a big boot which should've finished the match, but this was a Jackass toys in the attic kind of match, including a mousetrap table. Knoxville of course knows how to bump, he's made a career out of it, so I didn't need this Party Boy strip show and Wee man bodyslamming Zayn in between. How did Zayn not see the giant hand all that time he was walking around the ring before the spot either? After a lot of attacking the testicular area, and a taser shot, Zayn was pinned by being trapped in a giant mousetrap. It was silly, probably a bit too silly for the mood I was in. The one solace I can hope for is that all this commitment to humiliate himself gives Sami something like a worthwhile push.

Sasha Banks & Naomi def. Queen Zelina & Carmella (c), Liv Morgan & Rhea Ripley, and Natalya & Shayna Baszler - NEW WWE WOMEN'S TAG CHAMPIONS The Fatal 4-Way Clusterfuck has Sasha come out in a fancy car, only to be upstaged by Liv rocking the Catwoman look and Rhea being Batman or the Donnie Darko bunny, Zelina's crown was magnificent and Carmella looked like she was doing a wedding dress lingerie blend that Corey was simping for. Was quite a spotfest but in a good way, each team had a chance to take over, no care for the tag rope though. Naomi and Banks won with a rolling codebreaker/facebuster combo which was neat, not upset with them winning - I backed the champs because they were often losing in the build, so I expected them pulling a Mandy - a tiny shame we kinda wasted Sasha's first Mania win on a low storyline 4-Way and a title that will be booked awfully, also happy for Naomi. Liv also put on a good show but I do fear that she's never gonna get gold at this point.

Aaaaaand they ruined it by recapping Logan Paul getting a win over Rey Mysterio solely as an attempt to turn him face so he could feud with the Miz -_- Fuck Right Off.

Edge def. AJ Styles And they twist the knife, Rey loses to Logan Paul, Edge gets a Dream Match with AJ Styles...AJ was bleeding to start (apparently he hit the stage's frame), Edge had a Brood/Triple H style entrance with a flaming throne, as many would agree his new music is good but it's no Metalingus. The match was good, like Cody/Rollins both men picked a body part; AJ was the knee and Edge was the shoulder - one setting up Calf Crusher but the other nullifies the Phenomenal Forearm. Didn't expect to see Edge pull out the STF - a submission favored by his great enemy Cena in the 2000s - he even kicked out of the Styles Clash! Sadly after that we got a weak finish, Damian Priest came out not even looking at AJ, which distracted Styles enough for Edge to intercept his Phenomenal Forearm into a Spear. Seems we're starting Edge's New New Brood faction (New Brood being Gangrel and the Hardys), but I feel like it shouldn't have influenced the match, we could've done this on Raw, I feel like we need a third too, maybe they'll have Balor to justify his continual losses.

They made a big deal about the attendance being the same as Night 1, which is kinda weird: who would by a ticket for one day of Wrestlemania?

Sheamus & Ridge Holland [w/Butch] def. New Day [Kofi Kingston & King Woods] New Day did rep the Big E colors, but it was Shamu, Dutch and Sundance who'd win the day. It was really weird though, Butch was very frantic around the ring, it felt messy, Shamu hit the Brogue while the ref was distracted and Holland hit Northern Grit and that was it, like 2 minutes of a match. Afterwards Butch had to be pulled off of Xavier by his own partners, what was wrong with Pete Dunne the Bruiserweight?

Another come n go for Taker for HOF, then Vince McMahon came out.

Pat McAfee def. Austin Theory So the cheerleaders at Night 1 were used for Pat's entrance, alongside Seven Nation Army. Pat already proved himself in NXT against Adam Cole, but he did keep it simple with tackles and strikes, there was a Hurricanrana spot and a missed Swanton, most impressive was the Superplex though, he backflipped from the turnbuckle to his feed, leapt back to the top turnbuckle then hit the move. Pat won by reversing Theory's finisher with a rollup, which makes Theory beating the likes of US Champion Finn Balor, IC Champion Ricochet, Kevin Owens, Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio all for naught.

Mr McMahon def. Pat McAfee EH!? So post match it seemed like Vince was gonna rip into Austin, but Pat called him out, Vince revealed his traditional black vest and got a ref. Austin blindsides Pat, and Pat bumps around for Vince, when Pat is about to fire up Austin slides him legs first into the ring post, gives Vince an American Football and he weakly kicks it into Pat's stomach for a 3 count. The fuck was that?

After that Austin came out, beat and stunned Austin, stared down Vince for a bit then got some beers, Vince did the old Eric Bischoff sip spot, and then a most terrible Stunner. Like it was hard to top Donald Trump's sell but Vince somehow did it, Pat celebrated with Austin and got stunned too. Austin basically doing his damnedest to salvage the awfulness we just saw.

Roman Reigns (c) [w/Paul Heyman] def. Brock Lesnar (c) - NEW UNIFIED CHAMPION Our so-called 'biggest wrestlemania main event' between two men who has fought so many times in the last decade that people are tired of it. No special showmanship for the entrances, Heyman announced Roman and Brock announced himself, Brock took the gloves off at the start too to show he was serious. There were shades of their last mania bout where Brock squashed Roman, but Roman spears Brock through the barricade - it seems he hurt his arm at this point. Then it was mostly just finishers with some suplexes padded between, a ref bump too to get a low blow/belt shot combo nearfall, Heyman pushed the rope to help Reigns escape the Kimura, but you can audibly hear and see that Reigns' shoulder was popped, it was really shallow near the triceps, Reigns escapes an F-5, hits the Spear and that's it, it seems he could pop it back in after but it will need proper looking at. Finish was brief and it was nothing really new, hardly lived to it's name but it was a foregone conclusion.

Conclusion

So Wrestlemania 38 is done, Night 2 wasn't quite the big show it should've been for me, it really brought the show down with the Vince stuff and the poor endings to Edge/AJ and Roman/Brock. Out of the 3 WWE events I have to say Becky/Bianca was the best match - ironic that it's the only one with dedicated long-term storytelling huh?

There are at the least a lot of new directions for WWE now; if they book it right at least, that is the key element here. Wrestlemania 38 as a whole was good, Night 1 being better than 2 for me, it could've been better though, lots of filler matches could've been moved to the 4-hour pre-show and made room for matches for y'know our midcard champions, also should've had Rey win.

Annabelle Carraway — 21 ans — St-Léo — Etudiante en Littérature & Langues Étrangères. — Cheerleader — Membre des Sphinx Head — ( Aka ~ Carmella Rose )

» s a b i o g r a p h i e

Un couple follement amoureux. Un mariage des plus extravagants ; une mariée enceinte. Un bébé parfait ; aux grands yeux verts et un visage si innocent qu'il était impossible de ne pas la convoiter. Annabelle. C'était son prénom. Un prénom pour une princesse – pour la seule fille des célèbres Carraway. Installée à Tampa depuis des siècles, les Carraway ont vu évoluer cette ville et y ont grandement contribué, devenant une famille pilier de l'État. De générations en générations, de fils en fils, les hommes de la famille étaient élus maires et gouvernaient jusqu'à ce que leurs successeurs soient prêts. Une famille très catholique, un peu vieillotte, qui partait du principe que c'était naturel pour les hommes d'avoir un poste supérieur aux femmes. Annabelle Carraway a grandit en étant la petite fille modèle que tout le monde regardait – la « it-girl » de son lycée, capable de fasciner quiconque sur son passage. Les filles voulaient son amitié, les hommes son cœur. Elle était parfaite physiquement et représentait un idéal féminin grâce à ses longs cheveux châtains, ses yeux de biches et sa manière d'attirer ses camarades sans bouger son petit pouce. La belle blonde savait l'effet qu'elle avait sur les autres et en usait d'ailleurs beaucoup. En effet, elle disposait de deux différents caractères. Son côté adorable et doux qu'elle réservait principalement pour sa famille ainsi que les personnes à qui elle tenait particulièrement, puis un côté plus calculateur, charmeur et manipulateur grâce auquel elle réussissait à rester à la fois l'une des filles les plus appréciés et détestés de sa ville. Cependant, et malgré l'image qu'elle renvoyait aux autres, Annabelle vivait avec un manque de confiance énorme. Cachée derrière l'ombre de son frère auprès de ses parents, elle se battait sans cesse pour avoir leur attention. Un dossier scolaire parfait ne suffisait pas, ses lettres d'acceptations dans les universités les plus prestigieuses d'Amériques non plus. Tout ce qu'elle faisait ne pouvait pas surpasser les faits et gestes de son grand frère, qui lui se préparait petit à petit à reprendre les reines du royaume de Tampa. Ce manque d'affection de la part de son paternel était la cause du masque qui cachait désormais le visage de la belle. Plus elle défiait son père, plus il lui accordait de temps et plus elle continuait. Un cercle vicieux qui excitait la jolie fillette et nourrissait son côté joueur. Personne ne pouvait l'arrêter et personne n'osait. Annabelle adorait le pouvoir qu'elle avait. Elle jonglait avec les hommes comme des pommes, ne s'attardant jamais assez sur l'un d'entre-deux pour qu'il réussisse à attraper son cœur en fuite. Même si elle s'était déjà consacrée à plusieurs garçons au cours de sa vie, pour une petite durée, elle ne s'était jamais autorisée à tomber amoureuse. L'amour, cela rendait faible – un mot qui n'existait pas dans son vocabulaire et n'apparaîtrait pas des plus vites.
