Get Your Man
Word Count: 1.1k
Warnings: sexual tension, mutual pining.
"Em," Gemma gasped, "Wow."
I bit my lip, nervously running to the mirror, "What? Do I look bad?"
Luann shook her head, "hell no baby doll. He's gonna want to rip your clothes off right when he sees ya."
I smiled, seeing my reflection, "I look that good."
Gemma smiled, "if I were a guy, I'd definitely wanna tap that."
"I don't know," I said with a shrug, "Filip doesn't like me like that anyways. I shouldn't be trying to impress him."
"You're kidding, right?"
"What?" I asked.
"Chibs has the biggest crush on you," Luann laughed, "and now that we're getting you all dolled up, maybe he'll get some balls and do you."
I blushed again and Gemma smiled, "all you need to do is go out there with some confidence. Remember baby doll, these men think with their dicks. So, grab him by the balls and show him where you want to go. He'll follow you."
"I think I can help her with that," a voice said, coming into the office. I turned to see my best friend. He gave me his trademark smirk, "Gem's right. I mean, god damn darlin, if I had a chance, I'd do ya right here."
This time I felt my blush creep down my neck, and I fanned myself, "Jax, stop."
"Why couldn't you be the one that married Jax," Gemma laughed sadly as she gave me a half-sad, "at least I like you."
"Because if that happened, you'd have a house full of grandchildren," Jax laughed, "me and Em both have crazy sex drives. Right Em?"
"You live to embarrass me, don't you?"
"I would have been okay with a house full of grandbabies," Gemma said definitively, "Why are you telling me this.
Jax chuckled and nodded, ignoring his mother as he held out his hand to me, "come on sweetheart. Let's get you out of here before Gemma straps us both down and forces us to get married."
I rolled my eyes at my best friend, before taking his hand. He led me into the clubhouse where a full blown rager had been going on. He didn't pay anyone too much attention. A lot of 'bro hugs' and 'how ya doin man' but we made a bee line for the bar.
"You okay Em?"
I nodded, suddenly feeling self conscious, "yeah. Just need a few beers in me."
He chuckled.
"You look amazing. For real. Those jeans really hug your ass."
I bit my lip, shaking my head, "he probably won't even notice me. He doesn't see me like that."
"Em," he chuckled. He cupped my chin with one of his hands, "trust me when I say that Chibs is head over heels for ya. Matter of fact I see that he's stopped makin out with Emily Duncan there."
I glanced over my shoulder to see a very upset Crow eater sitting on Chibs' lap, but he seemed to be looking through her.
"He's not looking at us."
Jax nodded, "yes he is, darlin."
I pushed his hand away, and he gave me another one of his trademarked grins, "I swear you are too much Jax."
"Kiss him."
"What?"
"Go up to him right now, and kiss him," he laughed, shoving his hands in his pockets, "I dare you."
"Jax."
"I double dare ya."
I bit my lip before standing out of my chair and poking his chest, "no."
"I triple dog dare you, Emma Wilson. Go kiss Chibs. Walk straight up, grab him by his kutte and show him who he belongs to. I know you've been wanting to do it since you were 19. You're 24 now. Come on."
I looked between him and Jax.
XXXXX Chibs POV XXXXX
I looked at her from across the room, in all her glory. Her blonde curls fell loose down her shoulders and back.
"Chibs?"
That sweet tight ass hugged perfectly in her Levis. She had a leather vest on that was see through on the sides and back...It cut off right above her belly button. Makin me think about what lay beneath the denim and leather.
"Hey," the woman groaned from on top of my lap. And normally, I would have said yes. Emily Duncan was the creme de la creme of crow eaters. She smiled sweetly at me, "let's go to your room, Chibsy."
"I think I wanna play some pool," I said, pushing her off my lap. She followed me over to the pool table where the prospect was racking the balls, "go get me a scotch, will ye?"
The crow eater huffed, but nodded. I watched as she stood a few people down from Jackie boy and Emma.
"What I wouldn't give to see her ride a pole," Half sack said with a smile, "She's hot, right?"
"I wouldn't talk about Chibs' old lady like that man," Tig said with a laugh, "he'll run you through a grinder."
I looked at the two guys, "what in the bloody hell are you talkin about? I'm not with that crow eater."
"He's talking about your old lady," Tig laughed, patting me on the shoulder, "you know the one you've been pinin' after since she came back to Charming five years ago."
"I haven't been pining after Em!"
"Aww," the crow eater said, handing me my scotch, "you guys talking about me?"
Half sack began to laugh, "yeah. Sure, Emily."
She scowled at him and batted her lashes, "shouldn't you be doing something useful, like getting one of your brothers or his company a drink?"
"Hey guys," Jackie boy said, interrupting the conversation, "got room for two more?"
"I don't know," the crow eater said, eyeing Em up. She smiled innocently and I felt Emily pull my face to hers for a kiss. I pulled away and straightened my kutte out.
"Of course we do," Tig roared, handing Jax a pool cue. He smirked at Emma, "lookin good tonight Emma."
"Thanks Tigger," she smiled. Jax put a hand on the small of her back and I couldn't help but feel jealous as he whispered something in her ear and it made her blush.
XXXXX Em's POV XXXXX
I blushed as Jax said it again, "kiss him. Bet he won't pull away from you."
I bit my lip and looked at Filip.
"Shut up."
"Triple. Dog. Dare ya."
Come on. This is it.
Now or never.
"Hey Chibs?" I asked.
He turned his attention to me and I grabbed his kutte in one hand and his face with another, before pulling him to me. Almost instantly I heard the pool cue drop, and his hands went to my body. He kissed back without a second thought.
I smiled, pulling away. Tig, Sack, and Jax were all whistling and catcalling us.
"Shut yer yaps ye limey bastards," he roared, laughing at them. I bit my lip again, and looked up into his eyes. He smiled and grabbed my face, "Who said to stop? I'm just getting started with you."

It’s been nearly 2 years since the McMahons addressed the WWE Universe and told them they would give the fans what they want. So far this year...
Asuka is almost never used, her challengers are almost never earned and when she should have been presented as the killer that she was in NXT as champion, she is sometimes presented as an afterthought and she had to play hot potato with her title with Sasha & Bayley, she wasn’t even allowed to look strong
Everything about Retribution, not even Mustafa Ali can save it
Whenever a great match kills it, tears the house down and feels like a main event, it’s not the main event and we are given a snooze fest as main event instead
EVERYTHING about Seth Rollins and the Mysterio family feud...please god make it stop make it end
Charlotte killed Rhea Ripley’s momentum and wouldn’t even take the loss to put Io Shirai over, she literally did no one ANY favors as NXT Woman’s Champion
WWE has every intention of bringing Goldberg, Brock and Rousey every now and then at the cost of the talent you actually have and no regard for the fans
Randy Orton ends Drew McIntyre’s reign as champion
Otis wins the MITB only to lose it
The Miz takes the MITB from Otis....literally no one cares about The Miz
The IIconics were stupidly broken up to put Peyton in a tag team with Lacey Evans
Kairi Sane was used as Nia Jax’s crash test dummy instead of actually pushing her. We could’ve had Kairi go for Bayley’s title at WM 36 and win it and we’d have the Kubuki Warriors and Io as champions, but no we can’t have nice things
Nia Jax is rewarded for being a dangerous and unsafe wrestler
Mandy Rose going to Raw was presented as this big deal like it’s her break out moment as a singles star, then she’s put in a tag team with Dana Brooke and loses her “Golden Goddess” look to just look generic
Shayna Baszler is not even in contention for Asuka’s title and is in a thrown at the last minute team with Nia Jax and they are Tag Team Champions....for reasons
Despite having The Riott Squad, The IIconics, Marina Shafir & Jessamyn Duke, they instead went with Shayna & Nia as Women’s Tag Team Champions
Despite Naomi being white fucking hot since her return to the Rumble, she is squandered, despite the fan reaction, she is not given a chance, put in a stupid feud with Lacey Evans and even when drafted to Raw, WE STILL haven’t seen her
NXT superstars were not even considered for the Draft, WWE pretty much treats NXT as their red headed step-child
Despite the mystery woman angle, Carmella is absent. Emmalina all over again, I fully expect her new gimmick to be dropped
The Intercontinental and United States Champions are presented as afterthoughts
Changed Keith Lee, Nikki Cross and Peyton Royce’s themes pointlessly
Not only was Keith Lee’s theme was changed, but so was his look and booking
Nikki Cross went from the crazy sister to generic female wrestler. I hope a new Wyatt stable can bring back her old SAnitY styled gimmick, but I ain’t holding my breath
The 24/7 title is still around. It’s lost it’s appeal and given the success of AEW’s TNT champion, I would’ve replaced the 24/7 title with the first ever WWE Television Champion
They STILL won’t unify the Tag Team Champions
They STILL keep splitting up tag teams and putting them in make shift tag teams
They brought back Lars Sullivan despite fan disgust over his racism, misogyny, homophobia and recently harassing a woman on instagram, the guy literally has no value and he’s not even that big or intimidating
They kept Matt Riddle and brought back Velveteen Dream, Jordan Devlin and Austin Theory despite the allegations and evidence in the #speakingout movement, plus Matt Riddle and WWE are being countersued for two millions. Riddle is also pretty unprofessional and this countersuit is gonna be a huge headache for WWE and it’s gonna bite them on the ass.
Continues the Saudi Blood Money deal despite fan protest with SA’s human rights violations and publicly MURDERING an American journalist, oh and VINCE LEFT HIS SUPERSTARS BEHIND WHILE THEY WERE HELD HOSTAGE
Was deemed essential, yet fired over 300 employees and used the pandemic as an excuse. They lied about over 37 million in quarterly profits, so they can fire over 300 people, during a worldwide pandemic but kept Lars Sullivan, Velveteen Dream and Jaxson Ryker
Took control over the superstars assets for services like Twitch and cameo. Still insist that their wrestlers are Independent Contractors but treat them like employees and won’t let them make a living on the side. They will make a percentage but it will count against their downside guarantees. This is fucking criminal
Please tell me how you are gonna “give what the fans want” please tell me this is how any of us want
As far as I can tell, the only thing they gave me what I want this year is Bayley and Sasha killed it and made 2020 their bitch, Everything about Roman, The Hurt Business, The Fiend & Alexa Bliss and they FINALLY gave Chad Gable back his fucking name.
#WWE#Asuka#Seth Rollins#Dominik Mysterio#Buddy Murphy#Rhea Ripley#Otis Dozovic#Drew McIntyre#Peyton Royce#The IIconics#Kairi Sane#Mandy Rose#Shayna Baszler#Sami Zayn#Bobby Lashley#Mustafa Ali#Kofi Kingston#Xavier Woods#The Street Profits#Angelo Dawkins#Montez Ford#Anti Lars Sullivan#Anti Matt Riddle#Anti Velveteen Dream

Summary: Jax and Elena try going on their first date but it doesn’t turn out as generic as they had originally hoped
Masterlist
BLOODBOUND FAN FICTION PROTECTIVE INSTINCTS
Elena’s eyes flutter open slowly, as she’s slowly welcomed back into the light of day. Well, not really since there’s no light to awaken her abruptly like something usually would in her apartment. But that certainly won’t happen now since she stayed over at Jax’s the night before.
And what a night it was. Countless amount of passion and desire fuelled into each other and Elena has never felt more complete than she does right now. She notices how Jax has an arm snaked around her waist and over her stomach. It’s obvious he isn’t asleep. Why would he be? But he seems to be dazed enough to be in his own little world. Elena relives so of the moments from last night in her end and a content smile stretches across her lips. She bites her lower lip nervously and decides to freshen up while Jax gains back his conscience.
Elena carefully removes his hand from her waist and slowly drifts off the edge of the bed. It’s unbelievable how Jax hasn’t realised yet or maybe he has and he just can’t be bothered getting up. Rolling her lime eyes, Elena quickly scans the room for something to wear, her gaze landing on Jax’s brown leather jacket and she throws it around her as she ventures into the kitchen.
She can’t seem to stop herself from smiling. She’s never been this happy about anything before and Jax really makes her life feel like he was the missing piece in it all along. Elena brings her lower lip between her teeth again, as she presses her palms against the counter and releases a sigh of satisfaction. She’s truly thankful for what she’s been given and she hopes there are many days like this still to come.
All of a sudden, it only takes a dose of insane speed and one swift motion for Jax to end up behind Elena, wrapping his hands around her waist and spreading his palms out across her stomach but that action is performed a lot more slowly, which is almost painful for Elena to wait out.
Jax nuzzles her neck and smirks at the breathy moan she releases in response. “Where do you think you’re going? Not bailing out early, are you?” He teases, his tone wrapped with a cockiness she just expects from him now. Elena simply tilts her head so that their eyes meet, her own smirk slowly forming.
“No... I was just gonna freshen up.” She mutters, arching her head back against Jax’s shoulder as he begins moving his hands up and down her stomach agonisingly slowly, causing her body to shudder in reaction.
Hearing that, Jax glances around the space, furrowing his brows. “In the... kitchen?”
With that, Elena rolls her eyes and finally relents. “Well, maybe I was reliving some of the best moments of last night too.” She admits, barely able to suppress a moan as Jax presses their bodies closer, clearly trying to see what reactions he can get out of her.
“Maybe? Hm, I don’t like those odds.” Jax responds, his eyebrows raising in disbelief when clearly he’s playing a game.
With that, Elena’s smile transitions into a smirk and she decides to play along, adding in her own twist. “You should know, I’m not gonna change my mind so easily.” She whispers back, beckoning Jax by placing a finger on his chin and tilting his head ever so slightly.
His desirable gaze darkens and he leans in so his lips are hovering over the nape of Elena’s neck. “Heh, well... maybe I’ll just have to do it for you.”
“Forget the maybe, Jax. Do it.” Elena orders and that’s all the confirmation Jax needs before he twists Elena in his arms and crushes their lips together.
The kisses have no time to build up the desire and passion, as if it’s already exploding before their lips even attach. Both hearts are burning with anticipation and a fire ignites inside their bodies. Jax slips his hands under the material of the leather jacket and takes this as an opportunity to cup Elena’s ass. Her lips part as a response and Jax takes advantage of that by slipping his tongue into her mouth, wanting full control of the situation.
Elena deepens the kiss by tilting her head to the side and giving Jax a lot more access to her mouth. She runs her fingers through his jet black hair and her breath catches in her throat, when Jax sweeps her off her feet and places her onto the counter. The cold wood on her body causes her to moan aloud and Jax smirks against her lips in response.
By the time, they pull away, they’re both breathless and Elena eyes Jax with a questioning look. “Why’d you stop? Thought you had something to prove.” Elena reminds him and Jax just chuckles breathily in reaction.
“Yeah I do. But... I thought maybe we could do it a different way.” Jax suggests and Elena’s light green eyes narrow, as curiosity builds like brick in her strong gaze.
“Oh really? What did you have in mind?”
Jax leans in so their lips are almost touching, the space between them and lack of physical contact soon becoming too agonising to bear. To zero some of the space, Jax knocks their foreheads together and Elena lets out a sigh of relief in response.
“...a date.” He finally reveals in a soft whisper, a genuine smile creeping up on his lips. Elena is a little caught of guard with his words at first and she finds her eyes widening rather incredulously.
“A... date?”
The certainty of Jax slowly begins to fade and his confidence in his decision drops when he notices the utter disbelief in the eyes of his girlfriend. “What’s wrong? You looked scared.” Jax’s shoulders slump back in disappointment as he catches on to what might be happening here. “Do you not... like the idea?”
Elena’s features immediately relax upon hearing his reluctance and she brings their lips together briefly as a way to reassure Jax. “No! It’s not that. I just... never expected to hear those words come out of your mouth.”
Jax furrows his brows, confused at first. “Why? Is it so crazy for me to wanna go on a date with my own girlfriend?” He counters, lacing his fingers with Elena and kissing each of her fingers sweetly. “Besides, we’ve never really a chance to do something... human... with everything that’s been going on so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to start that normal life we were talking about.”
Elena melts at Jax’s words but there’s still uncertainty hidden in her eyes. “And that starts with a... date?”
“Exactly.”
Elena finally sees that Jax is being serious about this and finds herself too intrigued to turn down his offer. “Okay. Let’s see what a date with Jax Matsuo.”
“They’re not easy, I’ll tell you that.” Jax admits, running his hands up Elena’s bare thighs and watching as her lips part and her head arches back in reaction.
Elena strokes the hair at the back of Jax’s neck, pouting at him playfully. “So tell me... what exactly do you have planned for this date?” She questions, her eagerness clearly not shying away.
“Is there no mystery left in romance anymore?” Jax retorts, not sure why Elena wouldn’t want it to be a surprise.
“Don’t worry, I can keep a secret, the proof being how I’m keeping your whole species a secret from the rest of the world.” Elena clarifies and Jax can’t suppress the laugh that escapes him.
“Alright. I was thinking someplace fancy...”
Elena groans upon hearing that.
“What?”
“Jax, you know Adrian was kidding when he said ��Welcome to the fancy life’, right? You don’t have to act like that because you’re a Clan Leader now.” Elena states, stroking Jax’s jaw thoughtfully and he nods in response.
“I know that. I just thought I’d treat you.” He mutters, joining their foreheads and she shakes her head at him dismissively.
“I don’t need any treats from you. Just take me somewhere casual and clean.” Elena assures and Jax contemplates for a moment where a place like that exists.
“Fine, okay. How about a diner? Does that satisfy your standards, Elena?” Jax suggests and Elena can’t help but grin in response.
“Sounds perfect.”
As the day melts into the evening, Elena and Jax make their way over to the nearest diner, keeping their appearances rather casual for this more idle date they have planned. It’s pretty obvious that they’re both nervous as well as excited about this. In fact, this may be the first time either of them has had a chance to act like a mundane couple that everyone sees walking the streets, hand in hand. They’ve never had a chance to be like that with everything that’s been going on.
All Jax wants is to give Elena the chance to have her life back and if doing cheesy things like this will make her happy then he’s willing to do it a thousand times and even more. The diner is pretty retro, as one would expect and Jax really likes the theme of it because it reminds him of the fifties, a time when he was very much alive. It reminds him of simpler times and he’s hoping Elena has learned to appreciate that too.
Jax admires the exterior of the diner with a small smile and Elena entwines their hands before glancing at him curiously. “Remind you of something?”
Jax meets her gaze, his eyes moving to the floor for a second. “Guess you could say that.”
With that, they both enter the diner with their hands intertwined. Once they walk in, they seat themselves in one of the booths, only now realising how deserted the diner actually is. Jax and Elena position themselves opposite each other and it doesn’t take long for a conversation to start flowing.
“So, what do you think of this place?” Jax questions, gesturing to their surroundings and it prompts Elena to admire it again. “Does it fit with your casual and clean standards?” He adds, the corner of his lips tilting up teasingly.
Elena brushes off his comment and forms a small smile. “It’s perfect. I like us without all the fancy stuff.” She responds, reaching over and taking Jax’s hand in her own.
Jax brushes over her knuckles with his thumb, his tender touch sending a satisfied feeling throughout her body. “Heh, me too. Plus it’s always nice to see some of the old stuff again. Those days were a whole lot simpler.”
Elena furrows her brows eagerly. “I don’t think I can ask you about this topic without making you feel old.”
Jax runs a hand through his hair and chuckles half-heartedly. “It’s alright. Sometimes it’s nice to reminisce but me, I loved to coming to places like this.” He admits, folding his arms and leaning against the table.
“I always thought you were more of a dive bar kind of guy.” Elena admits, leaning her jaw on her fist and clearly showing interest.
Jax just laughs at that, almost scoffing mockingly. “Ha. No... I like the vintage stuff. Why do you think I carry katanas around?”
“Because you’re really safety-conscious?” Elena assumes, her smirk returning and Jax chuckles at her comment.
“That’s a decent reason as well.” Jax counters. “You can never be too careful when there’s savage ferals hiding behind every corner.”
Elena giggles melodically and it’s like music to Jax’s ears. “Well I—“
Before Elena can speak again, heavy footsteps stomping along the tiled floor off the restaurant cause both her and Jax to seek out where the noise was coming from. They’re immediately confused when they spot two male figures approaching them and that causes Jax’s protective instincts to instantly kick in as he can practically sense the uneasiness surrounding the stranger.
Soon enough, the men reach them, their builds rather muscular but they look like they haven’t slept for a good week. Jax narrows his eyes suspiciously at the two men, feeling suddenly easy at the sight of them. The uneasy tension in his body increases as one the men’s eyes sweep over Elena and the intensity of his gaze could burn a hole in her fragile head.
“Can we help you?” Elena pipes up first, running a hand through her hair and eyeing the men strangely.
One of the men smirk at Elena, placing their hand on the table firmly and it startles Elena slightly. “Depends what you’re offering, Angel.” He responds, his intentions clear in his tone but then his expression falls solemn. “How about you start by giving us our table back?”
Elena’s features appear incredulous and Jax’s skepticism only increases dramatically. “I’m sorry... what?”
“These are our seats and you’re gonna get out of them.” The man orders, the commanding tone not enough to intimidate Elena or Jax in the slightest. In fact, it only tests their patience more than anything.
“No can do, man.” Jax bites back, rising from his seat and squaring up with one of the men. They’re both around the same height with the other man being around an inch taller. There’s an obvious fire flaring in Jax’s eyes and he can’t seem to hold in his anger anymore. He has this sudden need to keep Elena away from guys like these.
The man practically laughs in Jax’s face, almost spitting all over his features. “Who the fuck do you think you are, tough guy?”
“Jax... don’t.” Elena urges, rubbing his arm comfortingly and Jax stiffens a little when he locks eyes with her.
Jax tilts his head back up towards the man before him, staring at him with narrowed eyes. “Fine. We’ll go. Just stop staring at her like that and then we don’t have a problem.”
With that, Jax tugs Elena by her wrist and starts leading her out of the diner. Just when you think the conflict is over, sickening words leave the man’s mouth and it prompts Jax to do something he know he won’t regret.
“Can’t really help it when she looks as tasty as she does.”
By then, Jax has reached his breaking point. He swerves around and before Elena can stop him, he clocks the disgusting idiot right in the face while the other one just stares at the situation. The man falls back against a nearby table that gives Jax a minute to admire his work but when the man recovers, his eyes widen a little as he tugs Elena out of the diner.
They barely make it outside before the men come chasing after them and Jax will die before he lets them get his hands on Elena. He tugs her around the diner and into a nearby alleyway, swiftly pressing her against the wall and placing a firm finger on her lips as she prepares to speak. The men don’t notice them, darting right past the alleyway and both Jax and Elena don’t dare speak until the men’s muffled voices are no longer in earshot.
However, even when silence takes over, Jax doesn’t take his finger off Elena’s lips and she eyes him expectantly, a little impatient when his finger doesn’t move.
“Jax... do you mind?” Elena mutters and Jax just laughs, dragging his finger down her lower lip and narrowing his eyes at her intently. “Care to explain what the fucking point of that was?” She asks, folding her arms in an expectant manor and Jax tilts his head at her, stroking his jaw thoughtfully.
“That guy was staring at you like you were an object.”
“Well, you kinda got us chased out of the diner. Not sure how this can be a normal date without any good food.” Elena points out and that’s when Jax leans in, pausing inches away from her face. Her breath catches in her throat as Jax brushes her cheek with his thumb, his touch more tender than usual.
“Heh, sorry I kinda ruined the date. Just couldn’t stand what they must have been thinking.” Jax apologises, his gaze skimming intensely over Elena’s features and she forms a weak smile.
“It’s okay. Like I said, a date with you is a date as long as you’re there.”
“Still... I wish there was a way I could redeem myself.” Jax suddenly suggests, his voice dropping to a soft whisper and Elena arches an eyebrow at the idea.
“You know... there may be a way you could make it up to me.” Elena whispers back, her hands moving up Jax’s chest and entwining around his neck. He flinches at her touch, biting his lower lip as he takes in the sight of her.
“Enlighten me then.” Jax insists and that’s when Elena responds by dragging him in for a long, lingering kiss. She attempts to end it after a few seconds but Jax immediately connects their lips again, bringing her in for a more deepened kiss which stifles a breathy moan out of Elena.
Jax pins her against the wall, keeping a firm grip on her hips as he slips his tongue into her mouth. Their mouths moves at a perfect rhythm and the crisp cold air of the alleyway mixes with the taste of their lips. Elena tangled her fingers in Jax’s hair, making sure there is zero space between them.
This sure wasn’t an ordinary date but it sure as hell was a date with Jax Matsuo.

ok, I need to get this post written and get to sleep because I’m way tired. Today of course was another awesome day, to finish off three awesome days of the weekend. My alarm went off at 7:30, 15 minutes to get out the door since I was gonna do my make up in the car, then 15 minutes to walk to Jess’ place at 8 (it doesn’t usually take that long, but I try to budget in extra time incase I run into some complications). Got there, got in the car and headed off to HVFF. This convention center is off by O’Hare, which is pretty much in the northwest corner of Chicago, so a bit of a drive even for those of us who live on the north side as we do. But we got there in pretty good time then tried to figure out will call to get our tickets. I had a VIP badge because I bought it on sale for super cheap sometime last summer, even though it was a two day badge and I only ended up using one day because I wanted to be at C2E2 with Caity yesterday, lol. So I got whisked off to a special VIP line because we got into the show floor a full hour and a half before the general admission people. So I got in and looked around, there were a few celebrities out but not all that many, and not many of the vendors were open yet, so I decided to venture over to the “Walker Stalker” side of the con, which is a whole Walking Dead con basically, Chicago is apparently the only city that does HVFF and walker stalker together, but it was basically an entirely different space with its own vendors and celebrities. I was going over there because one of the celebrities they had who’s apparently on the walking dead is Sarah Wayne Callies, also known as Sara from Prison Break. She was the only celebrity on my list that Jess didn’t want to also meet, so I figured I’d get her done while I was alone. We had to wait a little bit, I struck up a pleasant conversation with the woman in line behind me who had also not watched any of the walking dead and was getting this autograph for a family member, so it was nice to know I wasn’t the only person who felt soooooo out of place there, lol. literally have not ever watched an episode and I’m not terribly interested in doing so, but Prison Break, so here I was. Once she came out the line started moving pretty quickly, so I got up there pretty soon. She was super lovely, I told her I had mixed feelings about a possible season 6 because I just wanted the writers to let them have their happy ending they got at the end of season 5 and not make their lives more miserable, which she thought was very valid lol. She said it wasn’t confirmed yet (apparently “Dom talks like it’s alright a done deal when it’s not even written”) but they should know soon. So that was a nice pleasant interaction. After that Jess had gotten in with the general admission people, so we went to hit up Emma Dumont from the gifted. I’m not going to share too many details of the interaction because part of it involves a surprise for a friend, and even though I don’t think she’s on tumblr I don’t want to risk her somehow finding out and ruining the surprise. But basically Emma Dumont is the COOLEST. Like, I obviously adore Caity and think she's awesome, but like, for someone who’s not my favorite I think she had the best fan interactions of any celebrities I’ve meet so far. She was so chill, she spent so much time talking to every person on line, and at one point wanted to edit the sign stating her autograph schedule because it said she was supposed to take a break and she didn’t want to, so she crossed it out and just wrote “NO BREAKS” across it and it was so so funny. She was such a delight, and the surprise portion of the interaction went over SO well, I had no idea how she was gonna react, but it was legit the best case possible, so I was very thrilled with that. After that we decided to go to Franz table and chat with him, he didn’t have much of a line so we got up there pretty quickly. I had him sign my legends poster, which now has his, Brandon’s, Caity’s and Dom’s autographs on it. When I was talking to him I was saying how sad I was when they wrote Jax off and that I really didn’t like how they did it, with all the press surrounding Victor Garber leaving and then he was written off without so much as a warning, and he was like “yeah, you’re not alone in thinking that” haha but I told him I was very much looking forward to seeing him return in the finale tomorrow. After him we went over to Katrina’s table, she hadn’t come out yet so we waited for a little bit until she came out. We decided to split a selfie, and then each get polaroids with her because they’re doing the adorable little polaroid pictures for $10. We also wanted to talk to her about our idea for the photo op later in the day, because the actual photo op is so rushed there’s really not much time to explain something like that. So we brought up the appropriate meme and showed it to her, and she was totally in for it and thought it was great, so I was happy about that. After that we took a break for lunch for a bit, then wandered around the vendors and artists until about 1:30, then got in line for Emily Bett Rickards, since she was coming back at 2 to start signing, her general admission line was crazy long, but luckily there were only two people in front of us in the VIP line. Jess wanted to meet her because she wanted to get her Felicity funko pop signed for her brother. She took until like, 2:15 to come out, but we got to see her pretty quickly. She was very sweet, and I’m not at all insulting anything about how she acted, but you could kind of tell she had had some bad experiences with fans doing really awful things and just how that can make someone have a lot of hesitance about this stuff. Her board of prices for stuff also stated *no hugs please* at the bottom, which just tells me how bad previous interactions had gone that she would now need to post that. Apparently this was one of the first times she was even doing selfies. So I felt bad for her over all of that, but she was lovely and sweet and I have no complains about her behavior. After that we went to the bathroom so Jess could change back into her Ava cosplay for the photo op. We stopped at one of the booths and I got a green shirt that says “star city archery club” because why not. We then went to the booth that had some wigs on display and asked about a blonde one, because we wanted the photo op to be easily identifiable to people. I did manage to find a blonde wig that I was actually alright with how it looked, so that was a win. It doesn’t really look like Sara’s current white canary hair, but it actually looks a lot like her season 2 of Arrow Canary wig, so that works. Then we went over to the photo op area and ran into some bitch Jess hates which we had to act civil towards and make awkward small talk, but I mostly just stared her down the whole time, lol. Once we made it into the photo op area we got called in pretty quickly, we showed Katrina the meme again so she would know exactly what to do (it’s the distracted boyfriend other girl meme if you didn’t see me reblog it earlier) so we got into those poses and oh man, it came out so awesome, I loved it. Jess snapped a photo of the print out, not even the digital copy, and posted it on twitter and it now has like, 700 likes lol so my mentions have been blowing up all day about that, which is cool. After that we ran back to Katrina’s booth just because we wanted to show her how it turned out, and she loved it and hugged both of us and was just generally very sweet. We were more or less ready to go at that point, but Elodie Yung’s table was pretty much empty, so we kinda worked our way in there and were just like “I don’t have any money left but I wanted to say I love you and you’re awesome as Elektra” and she was very sweet. After that we headed out, walked over to the parking garage and then through that to where there are some attached restaurants, because apparently if you eat at one of the restaurants they’ll validate your parking. So we went to a cute little place where we had a nice meal, Jess had the biggest plate of nachos I’ve ever seen, so she wasn’t quite able to finish all of it, lol. After that we headed home, she dropped me off and I just took the costume off, got into comfy clothes, and sat down to binge some tv. I watched the episode of Riverdale that was first on the list of episodes I’d missed, and I was really like.....I don’t find this very interesting, which is kind of a shame because Madelaine Petsch was at the con today and I did get to see her from a small distance. Oh well. At 7:30 I turned on Brooklyn 99, which was excellent of course, then started to finally start Rise, which I watched the first 3 episodes of, and I have to say I really like it so far. I know it’s supposed to be based on true events, but the Glee parallels are like, REALLY obvious, the teacher is completely Schuester 2.0, they recruit the football player, the threatening football coach, and just stuff like that. but it was definitely excellently cast, Auli’i is incredible of course, and the girl they cast as Gwen, when she did the “soft” version of purple summer, I was seriously getting chills- like the depths they went to to cast that character is nuts, and they did it very, very well. So I’m looking forward to watching more of that. And yeah, then I got in the shower and got ready for bed and here I am, did I mention I’m TIRED?? So I’m going to sleep now. Goodnight dolls. Happy start of your week.

Yay🥳so good you are back,grad school is a nightmare,I also have to go back in January🥵!I didn’t have time to listen to Theory yet,but I’m a little scared🤣like I’m seeing not Tara friendly people very pleased,and like you’ll see how she is gonna got in your nerves later or Jax treated her like shit,and she still stayed,your wife is right Theo,she should have gone and let Jax live😒I know they did 3.07 but I don’t know how they can shade Tara on that ep??👀!Like I’m sure people are blowing things out of proportion right?please,tell me they still like Tara😂I saw some complaints about Theo saying Gemma showed some humanity,they didn’t like he said that,because to this people Gemma was a fucking saint😭I also seeing many fans asking Theo to bring Ryan🤐🙄come on guys🤣!!
It’s so nice to someone else in grad school hell!! I talk about it outside of tumblr and people don’t really get it because they’ve never lived it. It’s absolutely draining, especially while juggling a job 🙃. Here’s to a nice break for us over the next few weeks 🥂! Definitely listen to it, this week was pretty good! Idk what the haters are so happy about, they didn’t say anything bad about Tara! Honestly they barley talked about Tara or J/T. They felt bad for her when she walked in on Jax and Ima and they’re really misconstruing what his wife said. During the scene where Gemma tells Tara to ride out the shit with Jax and that she needs to be his constant, Theo’s wife said that watching that scene is crazy knowing what happens in S6. She said that if Tara knew what was going to happen in S6 that she would have left and wouldn’t have given Jax another chance. Don’t worry, they definitely still like Tara! Oh my good the Gemma stans are ridiculous, they really think she’s a saint 🙄. Another anon said the same thing! Like I like Ryan, but aren’t Theo and Kim enough for these people??

Friends. What are they good for? Absolutely nothing. Say it again.
It seems like this could be the new theme song of the WWE these days. Sasha and Bayley. Alexa and Nikki. Peyton and Billie. Roman and Jey. Drake and Killian, Drew and Keith and I’m sure more to come.
Whether it be besties turned bad or friends of convenience or even family members not exactly on the same page, it seems like the WWE has super-sized the idea of friends becoming foes. It’s a time-honored tradition played out time and time again over wrestling history. Remember Bruno Sammartino vs. Larry Zybysko?
Let’s see how the WWE puts a new spin on things. What they do in the next few months, if done right, could be the stories we talk about in 30 years from now.
Clash of Champions – UPDATED CARD
WWE Championship Ambulance Match: Drew McIntyre vs. Randy Orton
WWE Universal Championship Match: Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso
SmackDown Women’s Championship Match: Bayley vs. Nikki Cross
WWE Women’s Championship Match: Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax vs. The Riott Squad
SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match: Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Lucha House Party
WWE Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match: Jeff Hardy vs. AJ Styles vs. Sami Zayn
Star of the Week:
Roman Reigns, Jey USO & Paul Heyman – This feud has put Roman Reigns in a place that even Vince McMahon couldn’t have dreamed of when he was trying to shove a fan favorite Roman Reigns down the WWE Universe’s collective throats as champion. Roman is taking no prisoners, including his own flesh and blood, to claim what he thinks is his rightful spot atop the WWE, this time as Universal Champion. Taking down cousin Jey Uso should put the rest of the WWE on notice that no one is safe when they try to take what Reigns thinks is his and only his! And when you put the voice of Paul Heyman together with the forthright, directness and physicality of Reigns to back it up, it’s truly the cherry on top of the sundae. Watch the Samoan history video from SmackDown.
RAW
RESULTS
Champion vs. Champion Match: The Street Profits defeated Cesaro & Shinsuke Nakamura
Cedric Alexander defeated Ricochet
RAW Women’s Championship Match: Asuka defeated Mickie James (match stopped due to Mickie James injury)
Non-title United States Championship Match: Bobby Lashley defeated Erik
Steel Cage Match: Seth Rollins defeated Dominik Mysterio
Kevin Owens defeated Aleister Black
The Riott Squad defeated Natalya & Lana
Non-Title WWE Championship Match: Drew McIntyre vs. Keith Lee went to a no-contest when RETRIBUTION interfered
Loved it:
What a scene! A BRAWL has broken out on #WWERaw between the #HurtBusiness, RETRIBUTION, @DMcIntyreWWE & @RealKeithLee! pic.twitter.com/ApQc19ZFH8
— WWE (@WWE) September 15, 2020
RETRIBUTION – Now, we have a purpose and some depth. Not only did RETRIBUTION have some promo time, but they also left their mark all over the top of the WWE Universe. First, they take out WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and Keith Lee in the main event. Then, they get into with The Hurt Business to close the show. Let’s hope they keep it interesting with some creative plans. Honestly, I really thought Randy Orton was going to be in the middle of the ring when they attacked McIntyre & Lee in the main event, but I like the way they went with it instead. A good night for RETRIBUTION and a few weeks of aimless wandering. It also looks like RAW will be there home.
Zelina steps up – Well, well now! Not only did Zelina Vega tell Andrade & Angel Garza she’s had enough of them, but then she walks right into RAW Women’s Champion Asuka’s grill to challenge for her title. It’s something no one saw coming, so a cool swerve. Do I expect her to beat Asuka, no. But, wouldn’t it be fitting if Andrade and/or Garza try to get back in her good graces by trying to help her win the title? Or maybe, that will dig a deeper hole for one or both of them. Either way, it’s entertaining and a good hook.
Witness the aftermath from the #SteelCage encounter between @WWERollins & @35_Dominik on #WWERaw. pic.twitter.com/UPOh70KYua
— WWE (@WWE) September 15, 2020
Steel Cage Match – Lots of good physicality between Seth Rollins and Dominik Mysterio. The right guy won to hopefully end their feud. Now, it looks like we are on to Rollins vs. Murphy as they traded shots hitting each other with the cage door during and after the match. You have to wonder where Mysterio’s sister Aaliyah plays in all this as she went to check in on Murphy. Is it getting Murphy over to the good side or can Murphy stay true to Rollins and try to get sis over to the Monday Night Messiah? Hmmmm….
THAT'S GOTTA BE @BraunStrowman! Looks like #RawUnderground has a new addition tonight on #WWERaw! pic.twitter.com/9mEC7un4vm
— WWE (@WWE) September 15, 2020
Braun destroys RAW Underground – Sure, it makes no sense that now we’re getting SmackDown stars each week on RAW when the rules only say once a quarter, but the WWE has never been about following their own rules. Make it up as they go, right? Either way, having Braun Strowman destroy everyone in the Underground and promise to come back next week is good for the show. It’s better than the middle-ground we were seeing on SmackDown lately with The Fiend, who now has Roman Reigns to play with.
Solid:
Cedric Alexander – There’s no getting out of the athleticism of Alexander. Plus, putting him in the ring with Ricochet is always a good match. Now, he’s good some personality to go with it as a member of The Hurt Business.
The Riott Squad – Makes sense to give them a win heading into their Clash of Champions Title match with Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler. Poor Natalya & Lana, maybe her going through a table is retribution for the third-party social media chaos.
Owens vs. Black – This feud would be greatly enhanced with a crowd I think. Right now, it just seems like filler, but it’s action packed in the ring, so no harm, no foul in this crazy pandemic World. Plus, a little social media rib from Black saying Owens might be part of RETRIBUTION. Interesting.
Odd:
It is absolute CHAOS on #WWERaw! pic.twitter.com/BM9hOhXxwm
— WWE (@WWE) September 15, 2020
Lee vs. McIntyre – Maybe it’s me, but the Keith Lee I found as likeable in NXT is coming off a bit gruff on RAW. McIntyre and Lee seemed awkward at times in their back-and-forth going into the main event and of course, immediately went to blows. I did like them teaming up to fly over the top rope to fight off RETRIBUTION though. That was some good stuff right there! I’m just not sure where Lee is headed though.
NXT
RESULTS
Non-title NXT Women’s Championship Match: Io Shirai defeated Shotzi Blackheart
Tommaso Ciampa defeated Desmond Troy (the former Denzel Dejournette)
Kushida defeated Austin Theory
NXT Tag Team Championship Match: Breezango defeated Imperium to retain titles
Kacy Catanzaro & Kayden Carter defeated Xia Lia & Jessi Kamea
LOVED IT:
Gauntlet Eliminator Match – Thank you William Regal! Instead of defaulting to another multi-man #1 Contender Match for Finn Balor’s NXT Championship, we get an exciting, unique new concept. Next week, we get the first ever Gauntlet Eliminator Match to see who will face Balor at the next NXT TakeOver in October. It’s kind of like the Royal Rumble where two men start the match. Every four minutes, we get a new entrant until all five men are in the ring. Last one left faces Balor. Love the idea and can’t wait to see how it plays out. Now we just need to know who’s in it.
Respect was indeed 𝑬𝑨𝑹𝑵𝑬𝑫. #WWENXT @ShotziWWE @shirai_io pic.twitter.com/hXUk1gVQ3l
— WWE (@WWE) September 17, 2020
Io vs. Shotzi – I make no bones about it that I’m a Shotzi Blackheart admirer. Good showing against the champ here in the opening match. But too much Io Shirai here who finishes off Blackheart with a missile dropkick and top rope moonsault. Wouldn’t be shocked if we see this again down the road for the Championship. Maybe Shotzi takes home the #1 Contenders Battle Royale next week?
Kushida – I’m diggin’ the new attitude. He’s a badass and looking to take over. A tremendous upgrade.
Still the Champs:
Breezango – There definitely more than just the Fashion Police. There the cream of the crop in the tag team division. They keep us entertained outside the ring and more than satisfied in the ring. Tyler Breeze and Fandango get a shout out and it’s more than just a pelvic thrust from Wade Barrett.

Damian Priest – Honestly, I was expecting much from the main event with Priest defending his NXT North American Championship against Timothy Thatcher, but I was impressed. It overdelivered and both men won me over with a very good match. Props to Priest for his first successful title defense!
Not so friendly:
Soooooo… this pin just blew our minds.

The ladies – Kacy Catanzaro & Kayden Carter showed a good sign of friendly respect to Jessi Kamea & Xia Li after beating them in their tag match. Yet, Li wasn’t so willing to bump fists. Looks like we got ourselves something to look out for in next week’s Battle Royale.
You're just gonna sit there, @KillianDain?!?! #WWENXT @WWEMaverick pic.twitter.com/eI8sLEBj0v
— WWE NXT (@WWENXT) September 17, 2020
Drake & Dain – They’ve never been friends, yet found themselves fighting The Undisputed Era Wednesday night. Well, that was until Dain said he wasn’t showing up. When Dain did show up, TUE insulted him and actually got his team a win via DQ when TUE brought in a chair. And to celebrate, Dain drops Drake with a solid punch to the face. Great line by Barrett: “Friends don’t punch each other in the face every time you see them.” Classic!
SMACKDOWN
RESULTS
Cesaro defeated Gran Metalik
Nikki Cross defeated Lacey Evans
AJ Styles defeated Sami Zayn
Samoan Street Fight: Roman Reigns & Jey Uso defeated Sheamus & King Corbin
LOVED IT:

— WWE (@WWE) September 19, 2020
Alexa Bliss – Yes, I’ve been a Miss Bliss fan for years now. But I love the straddling of the good vs. evil line of being Nikki Cross’ best friend and everyone’s darling put up against being possessed by The Fiend. She’s playing it well. Plus, how could you not like a Miss Bliss kiss and Sister Abigail.

What did @itsBayleyWWE just do?!?!#SmackDown @SashaBanksWWE pic.twitter.com/CnIMEdwhBP
— WWE (@WWE) September 19, 2020
Sasha Banks & Bayley – It’s what we’ve come to expect from Sasha Banks. Everything is gold. In her first interview since being attacked by BFF Bayley, Banks put down the gauntlet that she’ll take the SmackDown title from Bayley and that her bestie was NOTHING without her. So how does Bayley react? By hunting her down at the WWE Performance Center. Touché!
Can you say ladder? – Even though we all knew it would come to this, it’s still going to be amazing. Jeff Hardy vs. AJ Styles vs. Sami Zayn for the IC Title in a ladder match at Clash of Champions! Pretty good heel vs. heel match too with Styles going over Zayn.
"YOU THINK THIS IS A GAME?!?!" #SmackDown @WWEBigE pic.twitter.com/hW8ZhCBF9n
— WWE (@WWE) September 19, 2020
Big E’s not playing – Revenge is mine says Big E as he attacks the security member who set him up for the Sheamus attack a few weeks ago. Damn, all this superstar on car violence is sure to be costly. Vince sure does love to destroy his cars! I’d love to see the line item in the WWE budget for replacing all the busted vehicles over the years.
With another tag team victory under their belt, will it continue to be all smiles between @WWERomanReigns and Jey @WWEUsos heading into #WWEClash? #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/5FKk3eSTAE
— WWE (@WWE) September 19, 2020
Yo’ cuz – As you’ve seen from our star of the week, it’s another banner week of storytelling from your main event on SmackDown. Sure, the Samoan Street Fight wasn’t anything earth shattering in terms of a match, but the story of Roman vs. Jey, cousin vs. cousin remains the best thing going. Reality is king and the WWE is using it to its fullest. The little nuances make all the difference. From the smiles to the daggers that Reigns sent Uso’s way at the end of the show, you could feel the temperature in the room drop 50 degrees.
No sense:
Lucha House Party – Why exactly are we pushing the trio only to try to rip them apart? Having Kalisto and El Dorado criticizing Gran Metalik during his match with Cesaro is ridiculous. No one, and I repeat, no one wants to see that feud, especially when you’re trying to push them with a title shot at Clash of Champions.
Lacey Evans – Why do they continue to waste her talents with the same ol’ catchphrases and losing matches? Evans could be a dominating force in the WWE if they just gave her a chance. BTW, in this pandemic World, I’m shocked the sanitizer hasn’t become a finishing move.
Wasted:
The Dirt Sheet – Did we really need to waste 10 minutes of talk just to see Otis rip off The Miz’ clothes? I did not. You know what else we don’t need? A lawsuit.
Parting shots:
RIP Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Legend. Icon. Inspiration. And yes, all around badass. Regardless of your political bias, you have to admire her spirit, her fight and her life. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.
Coming Up This Week:
RAW: RAW Tag Team Championship #1 Contenders Match: Dominik Mysterio & Humberto Carrillo vs. Seth Rollins & Murphy vs. Andrade & Angel Garza. RAW Underground: Braun Strowman vs. Dabba Kato Drew McIntyre vs. Keith Lee – if Lee wins, he could replace Randy Orton at Clash of Champions

WrestleCorp News: Nakamura Wants Major WM Match, Riddle to NXT?, Plans for Bayley and More!
A little late tonight, but we’re back Space Monkey Mafia with another edition of WrestleCorp! To borrow from Phillip DeFranco, lets just get into it.
Nakamura’s WM Debut? - In a match that is far and away better than the proposed Styles vs. Shane McMahon match, Shinsuke Nakamura wants AJ Styles at WrestleMania. Speaking to Yahoo Sports Japan, Nakamura said; AJ doesn't have an opponent yet, I'd like to fill that spot. I've achieved a lot this year, but there's much more to do. I want to make more strides over the next year and show my true ability.
Styles responsded with a tweet, saying he’ll be headlining against Wyatt. But we all know that’s for not.
Riddle on NXT - One of the top prospects over the last year has been Matthews Riddle, who’s currently fighting for Evolve. Many expect him to end up in the WWE eventually, but for now he likes his spot, saying; Yeah, I agree with that. I think the biggest thing people realize is yeah, there is way more money in WWE. Of course, but the indies are just great. I dont know how else I can explain it any other way. I was at NXT the other day, the crowd was huge, they roared and everything but it's just very, very commercial. It's very commercial, the lights go on, they come off, they focus here, they focus there, this, that and the other thing, camera here, camera there, you know? It's a really big production and there's nothing wrong with that. I was fighting in the UFC, I've been part of big productions like that but the indies have this real gritty feeling to them. Especially when you're in Europe or even here in America, you're usually in a tight room or a tight, big room with 700-1500 people packed in there, going crazy, chanting, throwing stuff. I think it's just a more raw element and for me, right now, I think that's the only place I want to be right now. Don't get me wrong, I would like to wrestle for WWE one day or maybe sooner than later if it happens but right now, I really like what I'm doing on the indies, I can be as creative as possible, no one tells me how to wrestle. They're like hey, you're in this match, you've got this much time which is awesome and I go do it. I really wouldn't want to change anything at the moment. Bayley’s WrestleMania Plans - While Bayley was supposed to win the RAW Women’s Championship at WrestleMania, the WWE has now greenlit Bayley defending her title against Nia Jax, Sasha Banks and Charlotte. This might change if Charlotte wins the belt back at Fastlane. DDP on his and Sting’s Induction - DDP was interviewed by Rolling Stone about his induction to the WWE Hall of Fame, and was asked if his and Sting’s induction legitimizes WCW’s legacy. DDP responded by saying; I think absolutely. Nature Boy [Ric Flair]'s been in every federation, so the Four Horsemen going in I thought was the beginning of that. But then when Stinger went in, I thought OK, this is huge. And now that I'm in, wow. And Rock 'n' Roll Express too. People don't realize how over they really were. They were like the Beatles man, and they're out there wrestling the Road Warriors. Before the Midnight Rockers, they were the guys. It's just gonna be a great night for all of us, and more than anything the fans. Quick Hitters: John Morrison and JTG were at RAW this past Monday, and were joined by Morrison’s Lucha Underground manager, Taya. Former WWE Women’s wrestler, Lisa Marie Varon (Tara/Victoria) was backstage in San Diego on Monday night for the SmackDown live event. The Rock called CM Punk right before filming scenes for the upcoming WWE film “Fighting With My Family”.

The video above is the top 10 moments of the April 11th edition of SmackDown! Live which continued the Superstar Shakeup from the April 10th edition of Monday Night RAW in which their top 10 moments are down below.
Here are my comments on 9 of the ten moments from RAW and all 10 moments from SmackDown! Live. The reason why I said 9 from RAW is because one of the moments is not a moment to me. Also, to the fans in Long Island, you should be ashamed for cheering on such action. Never in my life have I seen such fans be so disrespectful and rude towards one person alone. You guys in New York are the worst fans I’ve ever heard in my entire life. What I heard on RAW from what I saw is just a sample of how rude and disrespectful America truly is and this is despite the fact that I’m an American as well. A lot of you don’t understand the business well enough and you enjoy the fact that someone got hurt. You never enjoyed it, you hated it and you always have yet now you don’t care anymore. I can tell you that I do care. I do care when someone gets injured or hurt. I do care when something like this happens. I do care when someone goes too far. But what I don’t care about is the fact that you guys in Long Island cheered for him. You cheered for the fact that Roman Reigns was assaulted. You cheered for him to be dead. Oh I even heard you guys saying “You deserve it”. No one deserves that kind of assault but you should all be lucky that he’s okay. You should all be lucky that what happened to Roman was not as serious as you wanted it to be. Be very lucky, Long Island. But then again why would I say such a thing to the Long Island idiots that cheered on such brutality. I’ll tell you all this right now. The day I step into the wrestling ring, I going to unleash so much anger you’ll wish you booed for the actions from this past Monday. You wished that it were you inside that ambulance. You wished that this angle never even happened. The problem is it did and you all cheered it. When I step into the pro wrestling ring as the female competitor that I intend to be, you gonna wish that what happened to Roman actually happened to you. Trust me when I say this, you Long Island fans will pay for cheering on the actions of Braun Strowman. I don’t usually swear but for once I swear to the Lord above that one day you’re going to regret cheering for such action and you’re going to regret the day you betrayed one of your own.
What you just read was me shooting a promo for the actions of Monday Night RAW when Braun Strowman assaulted Roman Reigns with the Long Island crowd cheering Braun on. If you don’t like what I said there, best to deal with it because that’s how I feel right now.
Anyway, here on my opinions on the moments starting with Monday Night RAW’s moments and ending with SmackDown! Live’s moments. The video for the top 10 moments from Monday Night RAW can be see below my comments. Just click on the link because I refuse to put the video portion on this post.
RAW 10: Austin Aires loses to TJ Perkins who then assaults Aries for unknown reasons. Gotta say I kind of like this mean streak of Perkins.
RAW 9: “John Cena” and “Nikki Bella” are forced to tell Dean Ambrose that they’re doing a parody of Cena and Nikki but The Miz paid for it as Ambrose gives him the dirty deeds.
RAW 8: In what would be her final night on RAW, Charlotte Flair made sure that she would leave with a bang as she performed a moonsault on Nia Jax which was reportedly botched as Nia did not catch Charlotte when she performed it.
RAW 7: Crazy moment as Samoa Joe’s sneak attack only brought out more fire in Seth Rollins who knows now that he is public enemy number one and he no longer cares as long as he gets revenge for Joe nearly forcing him to miss two straight Wrestlemanias and a chance at being a champion once again.
RAW 6: Not the way New Day wanted to leave RAW but that was the case as The Revival did a unique Shatter machine for the victory.
RAW 5: Nia Jax assaults most of the women’s division with the exception of Alexa Bliss who seems to like what Nia can do.
RAW 4: The Hardy Boyz send the Shining Stars packing as they win a 8 man tag team match with their Payback opponents, Cesaro and Sheamus.
RAW 3: Prince Devitt (aka Finn Balor) wins his first singles match back by defeating Jinder Mahal. If you all look closely at Devitt’s face, you can see the scars that Mahal left behind. It has been reported that Devitt sustained a concussion because of that but don’t expect him to be out too long unlike the last time.
RAW 2: Great ending to RAW as Chris Jericho gets his revenge on Kevin Owens in what could be his last night on the RAW roster.
SD Live 10: The Usos attempted sucide dives turned into double belly-to-belly suplexes by American Alpha.
SD Live 9: Kevin Owens’ nightmare became worse as Sami Zayn reveals that he is now a part of SmackDown! Live. Have to say, the Lord must love putting these two together because they can’t seem to stay separated no matter where they go.
SD Live 8: Tye Dillenger wins again by knocking out “Broadway” Aiden English in his first singles match since Simon Gotch has left.
SD Live 7: 450 splash almost did it for AJ Styles if only Sami Zayn hadn’t save the fall from happening.
SD Live 6: Chad Gable didn’t know but the Usos found a way to win and retain their SmackDown! Live Tag-Team Championships. The match was a great one by the way.
SD Live 5: The crowd went wild when Charlotte Flair was introduced as one of the newest acquisitions to the SmackDown roster. Fans will be in for a treat as she can not only raise the bar but she can deliver some of the best matches you’ll ever seen. The only problem I have with her is her promos and that is it. My uncle is a different case. He’ll have to explain it to you someday.
SD Live 4: Shinsuke Nakamura introduces himself to Dolph Ziggler who apparently needs to watch New Japan World to see Shinsuke in all his glory because he’s a big star and his resume far exceeds that of Dolph Ziggler’s so far.
SD Live 3: Randy Orton was this close to winning until Bray Wyatt interrupted him and cost him the match. Based on what I saw the past two days, expect Randy Orton to retain the title at RAW’s Payback 2017 with some help from the Demon King himself, Finn Balor (The alternate persona of Prince Devitt in my opinion)
SD Live 2: Jinder Mahal never learns as he gets beer all over and loses to Mojo Rawley who now has a lot of momentum ever since winning the 2017 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
SD Live 1: AJ Styles has pinned Sami Zayn in the best way possible and has earned himself a US Title shot against either his old rival Chris Jericho or against Kevin Owens. I cannot wait to see who wins the US Title on April 30th so that they can perform a classic with the Phenomal One himself.
Monday Night RAW: April 10, 2017 Top 10 Moments

Welcome to ThunderDome – WWE style!
Friday night began a new era for the WWE as they continue to find their footage through the COVID-19 pandemic. They’ve officially moved out of the Performance Center, where they’ve done fanless shows for the past six months and now taken up residency at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. It’s a return to a big arena set-up and will be surrounded by digital fans who will join RAW, SmackDown and PPV’s from the comforts of their own homes each week.
I thought the look and the feel of it was awesome! The bigness of a WWE event has returned somewhat and now it will be tweaked as they move forward. I did think they might have shown a few more close-up shots of the digital crowd, but it’s something they will surely take a look at it. When it comes to production, the WWE is the leader in the game. Add in the pyros and the longer, familiar entrance and it was a home run for me. Well done!
All this comes at a great time for the WWE as life at the Performance Center got stale and looked a bit too cozy and of course, looked the same each and every show. This weekend sees the WWE with four straight nights of live programming with SmackDown on Friday night, NXT TakeOver:XXX Saturday night, SummerSlam on Sunday night and RAW on Monday night. That’s a lot of folks and the WWE better be at its best to stand out.
Finally, I’m sad to see Renee Young go. She’s reportedly set to leave the WWE after SummerSlam. There’s no question that she was a bright spot from the announce team and even though WWE Backstage was never given a 100% chance to succeed with a late-night spot on FS1, Young, along with CM Punk, make it entertaining. Plus, Young did it all. From the sidelines, hosting and even some play-by-play too, she shined. Now, whether it’s a future with more mainstream gigs like her cookbook, podcast and other projects, another network gig or possible a reunion in AEW with hubby Jon Moxley, Young will do amazing things. She is very good at what she does and we wish her nothing but the best.

— WWE (@WWE) August 18, 2020
Revenge for the Mysterios – Giving Seth Rollins a double dose of kendo stick revenge was as physical as it was heartening. Good for Dominik and Rey Mysterio to get their pound of flesh back from the beatings on both father and son. Should be slobber knocker come Sunday at SummerSlam.
A new duo – Putting foes Shayna Baszler & Asuka together is a pair that I like. They’re just crazy enough to fight Sasha Banks & Bayley on their terms and also fight each other at any moment.
Huh?:
Viper. Strikes. Again.#WWERaw @RandyOrton pic.twitter.com/O6Duzue1WZ
— WWE (@WWE) August 18, 2020
HBK – You mean to tell me that Randy Orton’s RKO and punt to the head takes out everyone except Shawn Michaels? It seems a bit farfetched and a mistake IMHO. I mean the RKO to Drew McIntyre was sold beautifully to end the show. I loved the back-and-forth between McIntyre and The Viper but HBK’s performance just didn’t cut it for me and could’ve been done a bit better to sell the upcoming WWE Championship Match.
All it takes a slither. @DMcIntyreWWE never saw it coming.#WWERaw @RandyOrton pic.twitter.com/laAUvOeDdM

A lot to digest:
The @WWEUniverse nearly witnessed @NiaJaxWWE vs. @QoSBaszler in #RAWUnderground!
#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/PPQ6DFE08N
— WWE (@WWE) August 18, 2020
RAW Underground – There was a ton going on at RAW Underground this week. Almost, a bit too much. Between Dolph Ziggler and The Viking Raiders going at it or the debut of the Marina Shafir fighting with fellow Four Horse Women Jessamyn Duke by her side to Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler going at it to the ending (why?) to the Riddick Moss fight that didn’t need to be stopped, it was a lot to take in. We still need some details as to why their fighting, what do they get to fight, is there a point to them fighting and just what do you have to do to win other than Shane McMahon saying it’s over? I love the grit of it, it just needs some more details explained. I don’t want complete structure, but maybe a title or maybe just some explanations here or there will do it for me.
Too much:
24/7 Championship – Do we really need four matches with three title changes? I think not.
MVP and crew vs. Apollo Crews and crew – I think we’ve all but exhausted all the possibilities but I think we’ll get 100 more matches between these 6 over the next month.
Welcome back:
The Smoke – We not only find out that Zelina Vega did indeed poison Montez Ford a few weeks back, as expected, but we also get Ford back in person to entertain. A welcome sight for our Monday night eyes!
Mickie James – Seriously, a count out? I expected much more from Natalya and the returning former WWE Divas Champion. That’s some seriously bad booking there my friends.
Better left unsaid:
RETRIBUTION – But we’ll say it anyway! What a waste. You mean to tell me that RETRIBUTION takes over the TV production truck but then allows them to do a three-hour show without interruption. Non-sense! Complete rubbish.
NXT
RESULTS
North American Title Ladder Match Qualifying Match: Johnny Gargano defeated Ridge Holland
Dakota Kai defeated Jessi Kamea
Legado del Fantasma defeated Isiaah “Swerve” Scott & Breezango
Rhea Ripley & Shotzi Blackheart defeated Mercedes Martinez & Aliyah

Killer set-up:

— WWE (@WWE) August 20, 2020
Cole vs. McAfee – Hands down, Pat McAfee and Adam Cole served up the personal side to the match up on a silver platter. Awesome job on the mic (or lack of one in Cole’s case) to not only explain McAfee’s purpose in all this but also to make us want to see Cole kick his ass as well. I’m hoping for an all-out brawl between these two. It’ll be short, but unique.
Tick tock. An eruption is coming…
@RealKeithLee defends his #NXTTitle against @WWEKarrionKross this Saturday at #NXTTakeOver XXX streaming at 7ET/4PT on @WWENetwork! @Lady_Scarlett13 #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/zegDqe9t6B
— WWE NXT (@WWENXT) August 20, 2020
Lee vs. Kross – Anytime you add in Metallica to a WWE production piece, you know it’s going to be good. Four minutes of pure “make me want to see it” and that’s all you can ask for heading into a PPV.
What a CF:
EVERYBODY has their sights set on the NXT #NATitle!! Will @FinnBalor or @DreamWWE punch their ticket to #NXTTakeOver: XXX???#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/4ivk4honTW
— WWE (@WWE) August 20, 2020
Balor vs. Dream – I understand wanting to make us believe in the other four participants for the North American Ladder Match at TakeOver:XXX, but it seems like Balor vs. Dream was just an ordinary match due to the interference of Cameron Grimes, Damian Priest, Bronson Reed, Johnny Gargano and then TImothy Thatcher that ultimately cost Finn Balor the match. I was disappointed and wanted to see TVD and The Prince tear down the house and what we got was many levels below it. Do I really need to see Thatcher vs. Balor?
Solid:
"All Heart" isn't just a catchphrase. You only lose when you quit and I got a Ladder match to win in 3 days.

Tag teams – Good, solid matches from Rhea Ripley & Shotzi Blackheart (a fun pairing if you will) along with the cruiserweights in the six-man tag keeps NXT at its traditional roots in the ring. Week in and week out, it’s the best “wrestling” performances on WWE programming. You rarely get a sticker from the effort in the squared circle. That’s never an issue. It’s only a matter of time before we get Ripley vs. Martinez one-on-one too.
Nicely done:
Women’s NXT Championship Match – The return of Raquel Gonzalez gives us a glimpse into what Dakota Kai could have in store for Io Shirai and their title match Saturday night. If you didn’t think Kai had a chance, you have to rethink it now.
SMACKDOWN
RESULTS
Big E defeated Sheamus
SmackDown Tag Team Title Match: Cesaro & Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Lucha House Party
Beat the Clock Challenge: Sasha Banks defeated Naomi in 3:39
Beat the Clock Challenge: Naomi defeated Bayley 1:50 – Bayley will face Asuka first at SummerSlam
Intercontinental Championship Match: Jeff Hardy defeated AJ Styles to win title

ThunderDome – Loved the new look as we said above. Great start to a new era in the WWE.
Your winner and the NEEWWWW Intercontinental Champion: @JEFFHARDYBRAND! #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/r13bKX8mBl
— WWE on FOX (@WWEonFOX) August 22, 2020
Hardy’s hurt and a champ – Jeff Hardy using his knee brace to beat AJ Styles and win the Intercontinental Title after Styles sneak attack at the top of the show during the RETRIBUTION chaos was ironic. Good to see Hardy a champ again and yes, we’ll see a rematch very, very soon I’m sure.
Sunday. All bets are off. #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/oQZaDWgJ3I
— WWE on FOX (@WWEonFOX) August 22, 2020
The Fiend – First, he starts his night stalking the chairman of the board, Vince McMahon. Then, he avoids the RETRIBUTION attack. Finally, after his alter ego Bray Wyatt gets attacked by Braun Strowman to end the show, The Fiend comes out of the ambulance unscathed. He’s impervious to anything and that’s a good thing heading into SummerSlam. Suspend your reality for The Fiend and enjoy the ride. And yes, we’ll have more to say about that ambulance and Bray Wyatt below.
"Hair or no hair, i'm sick of looking at your face!"@SonyaDevilleWWE wants @WWE_MandyRose in a No DQ, LOSER LEAVES WWE Match at #SummerSlam!!!#SmackDown #WWEThunderDome pic.twitter.com/P7h0d9q5Lc
— WWE (@WWE) August 22, 2020
Sonya ups the ante – After an olive branch by Mandy Rose was thrown out there to set their differences aside, not only does Sonya Deville reject it, but trumps it. Deville not only wants the Hair vs. Hair match Sunday at SummerSlam, but she wants it to be a No DQ, Loser Leaves WWE match to boot! Now, we all know about the real-life news about Deville and her stalker/kidnapping attempt this week. That’s very real. But I wonder if there’s a reason there to take her off TV for awhile and maybe she returns at a later date or maybe as part of RAW Underground? Either way, our thoughts and prayers are with Sonya in this difficult time.
Trouble brewing:
Lucha House Party, 3’s a crowd? – It seems like the returning Kalisto is none too happy with his LHP mates, especially Gran Metalik, after their tag team title loss Friday night. Expect a high-flying feud coming soon to a Friday night near you.
#RETRIBUTION quickly interrupted #TheFiend @WWEBrayWyatt and @BraunStrowman's tense standoff. #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/eps3f3dYZw
— WWE (@WWE) August 22, 2020
The Miz – Did anyone else notice that The Miz was the last one to the dance during the RETRIBUTION attack to start the show? Me thinks that was not a coincidence and bears watching!
Sasha & Bayley – The tension continues to ride high heading into SummerSlam and the double duty defense for the BFF’s against Asuka. Kudos to Naomi (and Corey Graves) for upping the ante with the Beat the Clock Challenge to allow Sasha to secure a second slot spot against Asuka as Naomi’s win leaves Bayley up first to take on the Emperess Sunday.
Worst paramedics ever:
Oh no…#SmackDown @WWEBrayWyatt pic.twitter.com/kkphT78FNB
— WWE (@WWE) August 22, 2020
Bray Wyatt – After being pummeled by Braun Strowman and thrown off a loading dock, the paramedics taking care of Wyatt just manhandle him on to a stretcher, no checking of the neck, back or even putting a brace on him. Yikes! At least, try to make it look real guys!
Parting shots:
It’s time for predictions for this weekend’s two PPV’s – in quick fashion. Remember, with Payback just one week later after SummerSlam, I expect some surprises that need immediate attention. Plus, with the only match announced for Payback being Sasha Banks & Bayley defending their Women’s Tag Team Titles, there’s sure to be some tension caused to be at a premium for that match. Maybe Asuka will walk away with ALL the gold!
