WWE Monday Night Raw 8/5/19

We started the night with a tribute to those in El Paso and Dayton. They even gave a ten bell salute. It was good. Nice of them.

Then they showed the theme song, and Samoa Joe interrupted it. He hopped up on the announce desk and yelled at Michael Cole for accusing him of attacking Roman Reigns. Graves tried to defend Cole, which only made Joe more mad. He demanded that they show the footage. They did, and Joe said that since he was nowhere near the attack. Joe vowed to stay at the show until Reigns showed up, so he could get his apology.

As he was talking, Becky Lynch interrupted and walked down to the ring. Badass. I love her.

Grade: B-. I am almost positive that it wasn’t Joe who attacked Roman, so this is just sorta a red haring. But it could lead to a nice brawl and maybe even a good match if I may be so bold.

Then we had a tag match in the Women’s division. Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch vs. Natalya and Trish Stratus. I was shocked that they are actually having Stratus on TV. Charlotte vs. Stratus is one of the biggest matches that they have going for them, so I was surprised to see this tag match get booked. Nattie and Lynch started the match with some technical exchanges. The two exchangd some submissiions, and Lynch was bout to lock in the disarmer, but Charlotte tagged herself in. Charlotte essentially wrestled this match alone, she completely refused to tag Lynch in. Even when she actually did tag Lynch in, she nailed Lynch in the back of the head with a forearm and walked out on her. Nattie locked in the sharpshooter, and refused to break when Lynch made it to the ropes, causing a DQ.

After the match, Stratus tried to pull Nattie off of Lynch, so Nattie pushed her away.

Grade: C+. Fine match, basically continued to show how much hatred has festered between Nattie and Lynch. And it showed that Charlotte is a bad guy. Stratus didn’t actually wrestle, so that was good. Just a perfectly functional angle here.

Then we went into Andrade vs. Rey Mysterio, the never ending feud. The match stemmed from Andrade ripping Mysterio’s mask after their portion of the Gauntlet match last week. We started with a quick pace, getting into striking and flipping within the first minute. At one point early on, Andrade spilled to the outside, so Rey slid out onto him and gave him a sunset flip powerbomb into the barricade. The two put on a really nice, lucha libre style of match with lots of great flippy moves. Rey hit an awesome hurricanrana after Andrade popped him up at one point. Andrade also nailed a beautiful double stomp in the corner after the two battled on the top rope. Rey still fought back however, this time with a mexican destroyer for a near fall. Then he nailed Andrade with the 619, but Andrade got his knees up for the splash after Vega distracted Mysterio. In the finish, Andrade went for the mask once again, but when the ref pulled him off, Vega hung up Mysterio on the middle rope, allowing Andrade to hit the hammerlock DDT.

Grade: B+. Just a nice little spotfest here. Pretty fun, and open to have a rematch. Nice to see a pretty good match.

Then we saw went is going on with Maria Kanellis, at their OBGYN appointment. She told Mike to defend her and her championship, and he said he would. At the appointment, Mike told Maria to relax and hugged her. The doctor then counted a pinfall, so Kanellis won the championship. Mike ran out into the waiting room, where R-Truth was waiting, He threw a baby doll in the air, which Mike caught, and then rolled up Mike to win his title back.

Then we had an interview with Becky Lynch about her summerslam match. Lynch said that she doesn’t care if Nattie has hometown advantage. She will win, because she has changed the business. Nattie said that she hasn’t gotten enough opportunity, but Lynch said that she needed to take opportunities. She is what Nattie’s career needs. Then Nattie was interviewed, and she said that her armbar didn’t matter, because her arm will break before she taps. Then she said that she would end Becky’s career with the sharpshooter and win the championship. Nice, I like tough Nattie.

Then Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman came out. Heyman ran down Rollins for getting destroyed by Lesnar again and again. He said that he loses too much, and he isn’t the hero that he pretends to be. They showed the attack from last week, and Heyman talked about how even he couldn’t stop Lesnar’s vicious attack. He also said that Rollins was in the building, and he insulted him for being stupid and showing up to Raw. Rollin’s music hit, and he limped down to the ring with a hair in hand. When Rollins got into the ring, Lesnar went right for the ribs. Lesnar attacked him with the chair and threw him all over the ring. Lesnar nailed him with an F5 to leave him laying on the ground.

After a commercial break, Rollins got on the mic and talked about why this match was worth it. He said that he wanted to protect the Universal Championship, despite the fact that it gets him beaten up every week. He said that this was all he had, and he vowed to beat Lesnar. He also refused to get on the stretcher when they offered it.

Grade: C-. I am not as fond of this underdog story as I was of a confident Rollins going into Wrestlemania. He is badass when he is confident, and while he is a good underdog, Lesnar eats underdogs. We’ve seen this story before, and while I hope Rollins wins, it seems like he won’t. I’m just sick of Lesnar being in the title picture.

Backstage, Kurt Angle, who would be a special guest referee for McIntyre vs. Alexander, talking to the Street Profits. They wanted to party with him and drink some milk, which they almost did until Drew McIntyre came up and threatened him. If Angle didn’t call it down the middle, then he would crack his skull open. I don’t know why Kurt Angle is here.

Then we had a squash match with the Viking Raiders. They won with the viking experience.

Grade: B-. Inoffensive Squash.

Then we had Cedric Alexander vs. Drew McIntyre, with Kurt Angle as the guest referee. McIntyre ran down to the ring as Alexander entered, and he beat the crap out of him. As they fought on the outside, Alexander gave McIntyre a tornado DDT, and then the lights went out. The Fiend showed up once again, and used the mandible claw to put Angle right on the mat.

Grade: B-. Okay, I’m into this becoming Wyatt’s new thing. A modern legend slayer, but he is way creepier. I like that, he looks really strong so far.

Then we had the New Day’s Xavier Woods and Big E come out to the ring for a match with the OC. The match didn’t even really start when AJ just ran into the ring and attacked. There was a DQ, and the New Day were beaten down, but Ricochet ran down and came to their aid. He helped fight them off, and they turned this into a 6-man tag. Ricochet and Styles mixed it up a bit. Big E was tagged in to fight a bit against Luke Gallows, who came out in his old face paint, so that was cool. Styles and Big E actually had a really good exchange here, where Styles countered several of Big E’s power move. He eventually gave Woods the hot tag, who gave Styles an honor roll. That was when this broke down a bit into anarchy, as Ricochet gave Styles a dropkick through the bottom ropes and out to the outside, but Gallows caught him when he tried again, and he was sent flying into the barricade. Styles then took out Big E with a Phenomenal Forearm, while Gallows and Anderson hit the Magic Killer for the win.

Grade: B. Pretty good stuff, interesting that the OC got the win over the Smackdown tag team champions, so maybe they will be the WWE Tag Team Champions soon. Other than that, just sorta a spot fest. Still pretty good though.

Then Samoa Joe came out, upon finding out that Roman Reigns was in the building. Reigns didn’t come out, so Joe sat in the right and waited. The crowd got bored waiting for Reigns and chanted CM Punk, so Joe walked out and met Reigns in the parking lot. As Joe walked out to confront him, a car smashed into Romans. Joe actually made sure that Reigns was okay after the car was hit, telling him to stay down and yelling for a medic. Triple H came out to make sure he was okay as well. Interesting, no confirmation of who it was. And Joe may turn face.

Then we had a fatal 4-way elimination match for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. The Kabuki Warriors vs. Fire and Desire vs. Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss vs. The IIconics. This match feels like they were going to do it at summerslam, but then they just kept cutting the build until they didn’t have a build, so they just blew it off on TV. Also, Corey and Renee are really funny during this match because he keeps yelling at her whenever Mandy Rose was in the ring. The IIconics took everyone down and hit their signature poses, but then Rose ran in to fight them. Rose pinned Cay with a running knee very quick, guaranteeing new champions. Nikki Cross was in after the elimination, but she quickly tagged herself out to Asuka. Asuka intimidated Rose out of the ring to tag in Bliss, but Bliss quickly tagged Sonya Deville. The two had a very nice exchange, followed by an awesome hot tag from the Kabuki warriors. Bliss entered the ring again, and when Renee mentioned that Bliss didn’t want to be in the match because she was scared, Graves suggested that she could be scared of getting scurvy from Kairi Sane. You know, because she is a pirate. So dumb, but pretty funny. Then we saw Rose and Asuka battling a bit, culminating in Rose tapping out to the Asuka lock. That left the Kabuki Warriors and Cross and Bliss. When we came back, Cross was locked in a knee bar, but she eventually broke out. And afterwards, she continued to sell the knee, so that was nice. Sane had a yet another really nice hot tag, which reminded me that she never really had a chance to prove herself on the main roster yet. Asuka then tagged back in to fight Bliss, and nearly got stacked up out of an Asuka lock. Sane went up for the insane elbow, but Cross pushed her off the top rope. Asuka then tried to attack Cross on the outside, but Cross trapped her in the apron and beat her down. Sane then took out Cross, only to be floored by a right from Bliss. Bliss then went up and hit Twisted Bliss for the win.

Grade: C+. A lot of this match was awkward, and not the greatest. But that last fall between Bliss and the Kabuki warriors was pretty good. I hope to see more straight up tag matches between some teams, and hopefully put some respect on those championships. I think Cross and Bliss have the most star power in this

And in the main event slot, we had a contract signing on Miz TV. Miz and Dolph Ziggler were going to sign a contract for their match, and Shawn Michaels was there for some reason too. Ziggler quickly insulted both of Michaels and Miz, saying that he is carrying the company on his back since Michaels lost his smile, and Miz lost his balls. Funny, those certainly didn’t happen at the same time. Miz then said the contract was not for a match with Miz, implying it was with Shawn Michaels. Michaels then said that it wasn’t him, and Goldberg came out. Goldberg then signed the contract after Ziggler retreated from the ring. Goldberg then told Ziggler that he was next, as Michaels drilled him with a superkick.

Grade: B. I bumped this up a bit because of the surprise. Goldberg is certainly a way to get a bigger name on this card, and I’m into it. Ziggler can sell a beating like no other, so I’m excited to see him get speared inside out on Sunday.

Overall Grade: B-.

Pros: Andrade vs. Mysterio; OC vs. New Day & Ricochet; Miz TV; IIconics lost their belts :)

Cons: Rollins looks super weak

The road to Survivor Series goes through NXT!

When you think about Survivor Series 2019, it’s the overriding theme that you’ll walk away. The youth. The exuberance. The excitement. The edge. The passion. No BS.

This is NXT!

Imagine what this year’s Survivor Series would look like without the NXT portion of brand vs. brand vs. brand – WWE style. Sure, we’d get some surprise matchups but would we get epic, what seemed like once in a lifetime matchups like we have this Sunday in Chicago?

HELL NO!

So, when we think about what this week in the WWE was all about it. It’s the wherewithal that the WWE has always been able to turn to when it’s backs are against the wall, facing a new rival that they feel is a bit threatening (yes, we see you AEW!). Because without All Elite Wrestling, do you really feel like we’d be getting Becky Lynch vs. Bayley vs. Shayna Baszler? Would we be drooling over AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Roderick Strong? Would we be excited about The Viking Raiders vs. The New Day vs. The Undisputed Era?

HELL NO!

And now to boot, to NXT’s credit, they’ll be doing it all just one night after staging their very own Survivor Series: Takeover with WarGames on Saturday night. One has to cross their collective fingers that no one gets hurt and doesn’t make it to Survivor Series Sunday. Or maybe, that’s the plan for RAW and Smackdown – strike early and often and take out 1/3 of the equation.

The possibilities are endless! And for the first time in quite some time, there’s a buzz that’s building in the WWE. Will they deliver? Here’s hoping they do, because it they disappoint and fizzle out, it could be a long time before wrestling fans give their faith back to the WWE.

STAR OF THE WEEK – Samoa Joe

Yes, even with everything else going on with brand supremacy on the line and with run-in after run-in after run-in happening all over the place, we go to the commentary desk for our star of the week. Pressed into duty with the, ahem, benching of Dio Maddin, Samoa Joe proved what most have known for a long time. The man talks it as well as he walks it! Smart, witty, edgy and to the point and the perfect mix to The King Jerry Lawler and Vic Joseph on Monday nights. Sure, it was only one night and no, we don’t want to see Joe not wrestling, but it’s a definite plus to use his injury hiatus to everyone’s benefit. He’ll put the right people over and do it in a way that it will make Monday night’s three hours not seem exactly like three hours.

Watch the FULL one-on-one interview between @ReneeYoungWWE & @CMPunk from last night's episode of @WWE Backstage. pic.twitter.com/93kUEfNzpX

— WWE on FOX (@WWEonFOX) November 20, 2019

A close second goes to last week’s winner, CM Punk. Talk about your splash! On his first full night on WWE Backstage, Punk did exactly what we thought he would do – speak his mind as he wants, when he wants and make sure you know it’s coming. Either by putting Seth “put the phone down” Rollins in his place or by giving real advice to the WWE about the women’s division being the best thing going (a sure shot to creative and the men on the roster as well), Punk was brutally honest and accurate. Let the superstars breathe and the product will improve.

An even closer third goes to Rhea Ripley. Star qualities, my friends! Looks, athleticism and now getting a chance to shine with the superstars of the women’s divisions!

Now, on to the shows!

RESULTS

Charlotte & Becky Lynch defeated The IIconics

Humberto Carrillo defeated Karl Anderson

Lashley defeated No Way Jose (submission)

Seth’s Survivor Series Spot on The Line: Seth Rollins defeated Andrade (DQ due to Lucha House Party interference)

Buddy Murphy defeated Akira Tozawa

Eric Rowan defeated A Victim

Kevin Owens vs. Drew McIntyre (no contest due to Triple H interference)

Asuka defeated Natalya

RAW Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders vs. Randy Orton & Ricochet (no contest due to NXT/Smackdown interference)

What we loved:

The Man and The Queen – Absolutely loved that Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair not only took on The IIconics, NXT and security, but also threw a few shots at the duo being paired together at every turn lately. Listen up backstage, it’s too lazy to throw your best together because it’s easy. Think out of the box and let them make stars out of the rest of the division.

Kevin Owens vs. Drew McIntyre (part one) – Absolutely fantastic match. Should we expect anything less from these two. An amazing match until…. (see what we hated).

Triple H’s promo – As the “face” of NXT, Triple H has surely put a charge in his charges from Full Sail throughout the build to Survivor Series. First, trying to lure Seth Rollins over to his team and now, this week, putting a bullseye on Kevin Owens in an epic promo that made so much sense, I was rooting for Owens to join Team NXT. Of course, the only thing wrong was…(see what we hated).

Paul Heyman – Since I’m from New England, I’ll tip my cap as a Paul Heyman Guy. Not only does he sell a PPV and a match like Brock Lesnar vs. Rey Mysterio, Jr. like no other, but he also lobs some jabs the way of the hometown Boston crowd. Heel to the end. Love it, Mr. Heyman.

What we hated:

EXCLUSIVE: Even though he was surrounded by @TripleH and #WWENXT Superstars, @FightOwensFight held his ground in this moment you didn't see on #Raw. pic.twitter.com/tiyz2kqDFM

— WWE (@WWE) November 20, 2019

Kevin Owens vs. Drew McIntyre (part two) – Why in the blue hell did we not get a finish? We get that the WWE doesn’t want ANYONE to lose these days. But, having Triple H come out at no particular time to stop a match to talk to Owens makes no sense. It also makes no sense that on TV, we never got an explanation as to what happened to the match and McIntyre. It just disappeared. It takes nothing away from Triple H’s promo, which was fantastic in its own right, but just misplaced.

Too many run-ins – The main event ends in a run-in for a no-contest. Rollins vs. Andrade ends in a run-in for a no-contest. Owens vs. McIntyre ends in a no-contest. We get it. There’s chaos, but there’s a better way to show chaos than just the same sort of run-in each week, three or four times a night. It takes the sting and buzz off each one with each repetitive run-in.

NXT

RESULTS

Becky Lynch vs. Rhea Ripley (Double DQ – Shayna Baszler interference)

Matt Riddle defeated Richochet

The Undisputed Era (Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly) defeated The Revival

Kay Lee Ray defeated Dakota Kai

The Viking Raiders defeated The Forgotten Sons

Advantage Ladder Match for WarGames: NXT Champion Adam Cole defeated Dominik Dijakovic

What we loved:

WHAT'S ALL THIS?!?! This weekend is going to be fuuuun…#WWENXT @WWERollins @NXTCiampa pic.twitter.com/V4rymKBup3

— WWE (@WWE) November 21, 2019

Night of stars – From Becky Lynch opening the show, to The Revival in a tag team dream match against The Undisputed Era to Shinsuke Nakamura & Cesaro running in to take on Matt Riddle & Ricochet to Seth Rollins closing the show to face-off with Tommaso Ciampa, it was a night of stars in Orlando, Florida. And sure, it worked. For the first time in eight weeks, NXT topped AEW in total viewers on Wednesday night.

Complete and utter chaos is happening tonight as these #WWE Superstars try to show which brand can and will stand tall this Sunday at #SurvivorSeries… #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/MwLRJv2q3F

— WWE (@WWE) November 21, 2019

Riddle vs. Ricochet – Sure, it was a bit short at under four minutes, but we got a clean finish. It’s something we needed and could lead to more down the road. Plus, we got a Finn Balor cameo to boot.

This match is completely insane! #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/Tv8Y8hnHS3

— WWE (@WWE) November 21, 2019

Ladder match, anyone? – I could’ve easily made Adam Cole the star of the week as he tops off an epic month by claiming the advantage in WarGames for his Undisputed Era team by knocking off Dominik Dijakovic. But, then again, none of us should be surprised as every main event is delivering for NXT on Wednesday night.

What we hated:

Honestly, there’s nothing to dislike this week. Great build as the middle spot to Chicago. So far, the best cross-tri-brand showing of the month.

FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN

RESULTS

Rhea Ripley defeated Sasha Banks & Charlotte

The Undisputed Era defeated New Day & Heavy Machinery

Daniel Bryan defeated The Miz (DQ when The Fiend interferes)

King Corbin, Bobby Roode, & Dolph Ziggler defeated Roman Reigns, Mustafa Ali, & Chad Gable

What we loved:

And @RheaRipley_WWE steals the win for #WWENXT! #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/FuPQAN1vc3

— WWE on FOX (@WWEonFOX) November 23, 2019

Send home show success – Now that’s the way you send us into a PPV and make us more interested! Lately, WWE’s go-home shows before a PPV have been ho-hum and not really brought in more hype for the show, but this one did it in spades! Making Rhea Ripley a star on the level with Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks with a unique cradle move out of Flair’s figure eight hold was amazing! Keeping The Undisputed Era as a force on par with any faction in the WWE is the right way to go. And the all-out brawl that ends the show with Braun Strowman facing off with Keith Lee made me want Sunday night to come immediately. Kudos!

The dream match we never knew we wanted. #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/Pff2O6cfVh

— WWE on FOX (@WWEonFOX) November 23, 2019

We've got a NEW @WWE Intercontinental Championship on #SmackDown

pic.twitter.com/xzz8a3mInc

— WWE on FOX (@WWEonFOX) November 23, 2019

Shinsuke’s new belt – Yup, that new Intercontinental Belt is super sweet. Much improved from the simple white belt. One question, though. Does Sami Zayn really have that much power to hand over new title belts? Interesting!

Bayley vs. Baszler – Love the back and forth beatdowns between these two. Bayley gets the last lick in before Survivor Series. Gotta love the underdog getting an upper hand to make you believe, right?!

Addressing the elephant in the room – Loved that AJ Styles didn’t let all those CM Punk chants go by without a shot. You knew they were coming, whether it be in the Styles segment or as Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins got involved in the end of show melee, and the WWE should encourage interaction now with Punk on WWE programming on WWE Backstage. Styles saying he’d mop the floor with Punk without saying his name keeps that dream alive.

What we hated:

Who’s team NXT – We still don’t know who’s on the men’s side for Team NXT. We would NOT like it to involve Triple H. There’s more than enough stars on NXT to fill a five-man team for Survivor Series. The rumors haven’t died yet, so while yes, there’s intrigue in who the team will be, I’m guessing they might be waiting to see who survives WarGames to see who will be available to part of Team NXT’s men’s elimination match.

Meh:

The Miz – While we like him in the midst of the The Fiend vs. Daniel Bryan feud to provide some historical angst for Bryan, where does he fit in for Sunday’s Survivor Series? I guess that leaves him in limbo to help out in some form or fashion, but shouldn’t one of the WWE’s biggest stars have a defined role in one of the major four shows of the year?

NXT: Taveover Card:

Kickoff show: Angel Garza vs. Isaiah “Swerve” Scott

Triple Threat Match: Pete Dunne vs. Killian Dain vs. Damian Priest

Matt Riddle vs. Finn Balor

WarGames: Team Baszler vs. Team Ripley – Shayna Baszler, Kay Lee Ray, Io Shirai & Bianca Belair vs. Rhea Ripley, Candice LeRae, Mia Yim & Tegan Nox

WarGames: Team Undisputed Era vs. Team Ciampa – Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Bobby Fish, Kyle O’Reilly vs. Tommaso Ciampa, Keith Lee, Dominik Dijakovic and a mystery partner

Survivor Series Card:

WWE Championship No Holds Barred, No DQ Match: Brock Lesnar vs. Rey Mysterio, Jr.

WWE Universal Championship Match: Bray Wyatt vs. Daniel Bryan

Becky Lynch vs. Shayna Baszler vs. Bayley

The Viking Raiders vs. The Undisputed Era vs. The New Day

AJ Styles vs. Roderick Strong vs. Shinsuke Nakamura

Survivor Series Elimination Match: Team Smackdown (Sasha Banks, Carmella, Lacey Evans, Dana Brooke, and Nikki Cross) vs. Team Raw (Charlotte Flair, Sarah Logan, Natalya, Asuka, and Kairi Sane) vs. Team NXT (Rhea Ripley, Candice LeRae, Mia Yim, Tegan Nox and Toni Storm – Storm not confirmed yet)

Survivor Series Elimination Match: Team Smackdown (Roman Reigns, Mustafa Ali, Braun Strowman, King Corbin, and Shorty G) vs. Team Raw (Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Kevin Owens, Randy Orton, and Ricochet) vs. Team NXT (TBD)

2K Games is getting ready to release the latest entry in the WWE 2K series with WWE 2K20. This seems to be a rather ambitious project which will bring a lot of new features for gamers to enjoy.

MyPlayer & MyCareer

For the first time ever in the franchise, gamers will be able to create and play with a male and female MyPlayer in MyCareer mode.

youtube

Of course, if we’re bringing female characters for MyPlayer, it only means we should be able to have a Mixed Tag. This is coming, too. You’ll be able to play as both superstars, and you’ll team up together in different mixed tag team matches throughout your career.

Expect to go through 18 different chapters in your career, including aroun 100 different matches and interacting with over 40 WWE Superstars from every brand, as well as legends during this game mode.

At A Glance

[su_spoiler title=”MyCareer at a glance” style=”fancy”]

For the first time ever, create both a female and male MyPLAYER and take them through MyCAREER, playing storylines and matches as each character and occasionally teaming together with the all-new Mixed Tag match feature.

Unlock WWE Legends, Career specific Superstar attires, original characters and unique environments like “Hell’s Colosseum” and a special New Day themed arena.

At one point, Red and Tre cross through an interdimensional portal to try to find the Undertaker who hasn’t been seen in years, encountering various surprises along the way.

MyCAREER is fully voiced again, this year featuring performances from nearly over 40 WWE Superstars, NXT Superstars and legends in addition to over 15 original voiced roles. Interact with newly-voiced Superstars such as Ronda Rousey, The New Day, Becky Lynch, Adam Cole, Velveteen Dream, The IIconics, Samoa Joe and more.

Track Red and Tre’s career progress with “The List” – as teenagers Red and Tre write down all the goals they’d like to someday achieve, which later becomes their road map to success. Can you cross off their final list item and get inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame?

At certain points in MyCAREER, the decisions you make affect the matches Red and Tre compete in, who they team with, and possibly even lead to some alternate outcomes. Explore different choices to see what paths they might lead you down.

Podcasts are back this year, including “The Buzz and Cole Show” featuring the return of Buzz and Cole Quinn from WWE2K19’s MyCAREER.

[/su_spoiler]

[su_spoiler title=”By the numbers” style=”fancy”]

18 chapters

Approximately 100 total matches

Over 2,700 lines of dialogue

More than 900 lines of new commentary unique to MyCAREER matches and cutscenes

Over 270 cutscenes

Around 20 hours of total play-through time

34 career goals on Red and Tre’s List

1 bionic arm

[/su_spoiler]

Soundtrack

If there’s one piece of the game that becomes key for WWE 2K20 is its soundtrack. We are normally able to just leave the game running on the homepage and listen to all the cool music. This won’t be any different as we’ll have some nice music besides the obvious superstars’ entrance music.

WWE 2K20 will include the following 12 tracks:

Banks – “Gimme”

Barns Courtney – “99”

Bring Me The Horizon ft. Dani Filth – “Wonderful Life”

Grandson – “Stigmata”

Lil Uzi Vert – “XOTour Llif3”

Motley Crue ft. Machine Gun Kelly – “The Dirt”

Muse – “The Dark Side”

Poppy – “METAL”

Saweetie – “Icy Girl”

The Black Keys – “LO / HI”

The Misfits – “Hybrid Moments”

Watt ft. Post Malone – “Burning Man”

You can get this playlist on Apple Music.

What about My Universe?

I don’t know about all of you, but when it comes to WWE 2K games, I focus quite strongly on the Universe mode right after I’m done with MyCareer. This all means that we need a well debugged version of this game mode. Here’s everything you’ll get in this mode.

[su_spoiler title=”Universe Features” style=”fancy”]

Major and minor show match limits have increased from 7 to 9.

Pay-Per-View match limits have doubled from 7 to 14.

The number of championship titles per major show has increased from 6 to 7.

Simultaneous rivalries on major shows have increased from 3 to 4.

Pay-Per-Views can be co-hosted by up to 3 major shows versus the previous 2.

Players have more freedom to delete and add promos and matches.

50 of the most-used cutscenes have been reshot with female mocap actors to look more authentic when female Superstars are used.

25 new cutscenes have been added.

3,040 new promo lines are in the game.

Custom Matches can now be included in Match Tables, along with new Mixed Tag Matches.

New Championship Match setting in Match Tables can be used to make certain matches a title match.

Main Event matches in Match Tables have been tweaked so that those match types are more likely to occur on the show (Example: Royal Rumble match at the Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View).

New rivalry content includes options such as low-intensity enemies making peace after a single Pay-Per-View or low to mid-intensity allies slowly falling out over several weeks instead of a sudden turn.

The overall menu flow has been streamlined to make it more accessible to those new to Universe Mode. All deeper options are still available for experienced players.

[/su_spoiler]

As King Corbin aptly said on Friday Night Smackdown, NXT is all anyone can talk about! It’s true, it’s damn true to quote the man that Corbin retired, Kurt Angle.

Who’s going to attack who. Who’s going to show up where. Who’s going to face each other at Survivor Series. There are plenty of storylines to answer those questions. And the interest is growing! Just look at NXT’s ratings for Wednesday night as they pulled almost even (822,000 to 813,000 according to Nielsen) in viewers for the Wednesday Night War with AEW. My question is will it only be NXT taking shots at RAW and Smackdown or will over the next two weeks, will we also get RAW taking shots at Smackdown as well in traditional blue vs. red rivalry.

WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!?!?!?@AJStylesOrg @FinnBalor #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/HY6x5hgBt9

This week, we get a nod to the Bullet Club with an AJ Styles – Finn Balor stare down at Full Sail University. We also get more into what could be the end to Seth Rollins’ babyface days. Days that have seen Seth fighting for, yet failing it seems to capture any and all the major titles in the WWE. At what point will Rollins just lose it? I’m looking forward to it.

This means war.@NXTCiampa, @SuperKingofBros, @RealKeithLee, and ??? will battle #UndisputedERA in #WarGames at #NXTTakeOver! #WWENXT https://t.co/5NnDh0SZKS

One spot left. Who's ready to go to war? #WarGames #WWENXThttps://t.co/DoNCsRZ7L4

— WWE NXT (@WWENXT) November 7, 2019

What we’re also looking forward to is War Games! Are we headed towards a War Games between the brands? We already know we have two NXT War Games to look forward to and after all of this week’s excitement and tryouts, 14 of the 16 contestants have been announced. On the women’s side, we’ve got Rhea Ripley, Tegan Nox, Mia Yim, Candice LeRae vs. NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler, Io Shirai, Bianca Belair and TBD. For the men, it’s the Undisputed ERA vs. Tommaso Ciampa, Matt Riddle, Keith Lee and TBD.

Finally, we have a pair of matches set for the upcoming Survivor Series with the RAW vs. Smackdown vs. NXT having a championship theme.

Women’s Champions: NXT’s Shayna Baszler vs. Smackdown’s Bayley vs. RAW’s Becky Lynch

Tag Team Champions; NXT’s Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly vs. Smackdown’s The New Day vs. RAW’s The Viking Raiders

Plus, the WWE Championship is on the line with champion Brock Lesnar facing Rey Mysterio, Jr.

What’s next for The Fiend and the Universal Championship? We may get a clue from across the pond!

Color me a traditionalist, but I’d love to see Survivor Series come back to Thanksgiving Day Night, but I know that will never happen.

MONDAY NIGHT RAW

RESULTS

Non-Title Match: Charlotte & Natalya defeated Women’s Tag Team Champions The Kabuki Warriors (submission Natalya over Asuka)

Buddy Murphy defeated Cedric Alexander

Andrade & Zelina Vega defeated Sin Cara & Carolina

Rusev defeated Drew McIntyre (DQ when Bobby Lashley interferes)

The OC defeated The Street Profits & Humberto Carrillo

Non-Title Match: RAW Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders defeated the East Hampton Polo Boys

NXT Title Match: Seth Rollins defeated NXT Champion Adam Cole (DQ when Undisputed ERA interferes)

Becky vs. Baszler – If you missed it, go back and watch it! In what could be one of the best pieces of business this week, the RAW Women’s Champ goes face-to-face with the NXT Women’s Champ in a verbal spat not to be missed.

Natalya & Charlotte – As we’ve said in the past, the pairing of these two veterans is a great thing for the Women’s Division. Putting them over in a non-title match over the tag champions means that soon we’ll get a tag team title match between them and The Kabuki Warriors. My question is will we see Paige come back to exact revenge on her former tag team.

Adam Cole – What’s not to like about the NXT Champion? Who else could main event back-to-back shows that aren’t his brand? First, taking out Daniel Bryan on Smackdown and then going toe-to-toe with Seth Rollins on RAW. Well done, BAY BAY!

Rey Mysterio, Jr. – Viva la little man! Mysterio strikes back with his trusty partner, a lead pipe, to exact revenge on WWE Champion Brock Lesnar. And to boot, he should get a title match at Survivor Series.

Dio Maddin – Sticking up for the King, Jerry Lawler is never a bad thing! Unfortunately, Maddin paid the price courtesy of the WWE Champion.

High flyers – Keith Lee flying high replicating Ricochet in a post-main event melee! Love it!

What we didn’t love:

Another loss for Humberto Carrillo – At some point, Carrillo has to win a match on TV, right? It’s great to face Seth Rollins, AJ Styles and now the OC. But if you lose every match, what does it get you? You have to start building him up with some victories or else it becomes a losing streak like Curt Hawkins.

Another loss for Sin Cara & Carolina – See above. For a feud to be successful, it can’t be one-sided. Yet, this one is.

NXT

RESULTS

Pete Dunne defeated Damian Priest (submission)

Taynara defeated Santana Garrett

Non-Title Match: Champion Shayna Baszler defeated Dakota Kai (submission)

#1 Contender’s Match For The Cruiserweight Title: Angel Garza defeated Tony Nese

Dominik Dijakovic defeated Isaiah Scott

Keith Lee, Matt Riddle, and Tommaso Ciampa vs. The OC (no contest)

What we loved:

Absolute respect to #TheOC who came to “our house,” walked through the front door and tore the place down. The #USChamp and Best Tag Team in the World can hang with @WWENXT. Anyone else who wants to walk through our door better be ready to go. #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/HZDkpWJ52I

Welcome to Full Sail, The OC – Way to start the show! AJ Styles, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson delivering a beatdown to the NXT roster reminiscent of The Outsiders using Rey Mysterio, Jr. as a pinata into a production truck. Then, to lay down the challenge to NXT after a week of NXT taking charge of RAW and Smackdown was needed and well played. And remember, The OC completely got to skip going to NXT before joining the main roster.

Tommaso Ciampa – To the OC: “Welcome to the main roster.” Well done Goldie!

The NXT response – Keith Lee and Matt Riddle are easily making themselves into main event talent every week on NXT. Throw in former champ Tommaso Ciampa and you’ve got a dramatic six-man main event against The OC that ends in a wild melee to a returning Finn Balor.

Welcome to Survivor Series Finn Balor – After a week of wondering where Finn Balor stands on the whole NXT vs. RAW vs. Smackdown rivalry, we now have a slight glimpse into that picture. Balor seemingly came out to help his NXT mates in the main event only to deliver a knockout pele kick to Ciampa, a kick that AJ Styles acknowledges with a “two-sweet” gesture, a nod to their Bullet Club days in Japan. And yes, I love that Mauro Ranollo referenced that on the broadcast, something not usually done since it was pre-WWE days. Could Balor be strattling both sides of the battle?

War Games Build – A heavy concentration on who Shayna Baszler & Rhea Ripley would pick for their team in War Games, including a match between Baszler herself and Dakota Kai – a quality non-title match that made Kai look good and established her into the War Game mix. That match leads to a full out brawl with Ripley’s team and a Mia Yim’s kendo stick save of Team Ripley. With Yim getting the final spot instead of Kai, could we see a turn in Kai’s future after being shunned? Also, how come Baszler doesn’t have her sidekicks, Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir on her team? Right now, we’ve got Rhea Ripley, Tegan Nox, Mia Yim, Candice LeRae vs. NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler, Io Shirai, Bianca Belair and TBD.

Angel Garza – A win over Tony Nese nets him an NXT Cruiserweight Championship match next week against Lio Rush. Way to get some heel heat too after the match by slapping Rush instead of shaking his hand. It gives us more than just a match thrown together. Emotion and storyline added to athleticism is always a productive method!

What we didn’t love:

Santana Garrett vs. Taynara – A bit clunky at times, I expected a bit more considering what else we’ve gotten from what is red-hot, stacked women’s division in NXT week after week. Call it an average, albeit short – just four minutes – match and possibly just an off-night.

No update on Johnny Gargano – He is the emotional soul of NXT. Don’t let a week go by without updating his situation after being put out by Finn Balor. Maybe, we’ll just see him as the fourth member of War Games and they’re just waiting for that surprise in a week or two.

FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN

RESULTS

Smackdown Tag Team Title Match: The New Day defeated The Revival to win titles

Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Ali and Shorty G

Sasha Banks defeated Nikki Cross

Carmella and Dana Brooke defeated Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville to gain spot on Women’s Survivor Series team

King Corbin defeated Roman Reigns

What we loved:

THEY DID IT FOR WOODS!@WWEBigE & @TrueKofi have made #TheNewDay 7️⃣-TIME #TagTeamChampions! #SmackDown @XavierWoodsPhD pic.twitter.com/b3o5AWnBbm

— WWE (@WWE) November 9, 2019

It’s a New Day, New Champs – Kofi Kingston is a champ again as Kofi and Big E reign supreme as Smackdown champions once more. Of course, this will only fuel the IWC rumors that The Revival are headed out in 2020 to AEW or elsewhere.

King Corbin’s heat – Easily the top heel heat on Smackdown. Corbin draws it and the crowd loves to dish it. Having Dolph Ziggler and Bobby Roode help him out could point towards a Survivor Series team grouping in a few weeks.

Walter and The Imperium – As you know, we’re big fans of WALTER from NXT UK and NXT. It makes sense to unleash them at a Smackdown in Manchester, England to further the NXT vs. Smackdown vs. RAW feud. Getting them some TV time with new tag team champs, The New Day and Heavy Machinery makes a lot of sense for the NXT UK Champion WALTER, Fabian Archer, Marcel Barthel and Alexander Wolfe

Will he stay or will he join – Sami Zayn’s continued pursuit of Daniel Bryan has some legs and some intrigue to it, especially with all of the chaos and uncertainty headed towards Survivor Series. Plus, add in The Fiend attacking Bryan backstage and we could find out our next feud for the new Universal Champion. A Global Faction of Cesar, Nakamura and Bryan led by Zayn mixing with the Firefly Fun House could very well be worth watching.

Different week, same result – NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler attacks Smackdown Women’s Champion Bayley. After a confrontation on RAW with Becky Lynch, Baszler is becoming must-see TV on every show to see who she’s going to take out next.

What we didn’t love:

Fire and Desire Fail – Since when did Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville become jobbers? It seems like they lose every week in some form or fashion. Yes, I realize that’s an exaggeration, but I think they are better than what they are being portrayed. Maybe Sonya Deville would work well as a member of Shayna Baszler’s War Games team? Hmmm…..

Fury and Strowman – So, now we’re supposed to just accept them as a team? We know that Tyson Fury isn’t going to be around much due to his boxing commitments. But after hating each other for a month-plus, they just team up to beat up The B Team of Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas. We’ll chalk it up to a taping in Manchester, England for a fan pop and see where it goes from here.

LOOKING AHEAD:

Since RAW was taped Friday in Manchester, England after the Smackdown taping, we know there are some things set to unveil Monday night on Veteran’s Day. All we can say, as to not spoil things, is that it could be a K-O of a night.
