Week of 9/11 (Backlash, Raw and Smackdown)
I've always been a Raw fan from the shows to the PPVs, but Backlash is making me have second thoughts. In my opinion, Smackdown did amazing with their PPV. Some of the most memorable moments for me was the crowning of the new champions and all the other matches. However the only match that kept me from giving it a 10/10 was the Corbin vs Crews match. I can never watch anymore PPVs since I dont have the Network, but from watching what happened, it seems like the Corbin vs Crews match is an easy one to forget for me. So overall the PPV was a 9/10
On Raw, we saw a women's triple threat match, a main event between Owens and Reigns and many more. With what happened between Raw and Backlash already has me thinking about who I think might be champions at Clash of Champions and No Mercy. With that in mind I want to talk about a women and three superstars: Nia Jax and The New Day. Ever since Nia Jax has been in NXT and on the main roster she has truly been a "Force of Greatness" that kind of reminds me of a newer version of Awesome Kong aka Kharma. On Raw, we saw Jax basically decimate Alicia Fox. I enjoy the fact she won, but not how she won. Keep in mind, Alicia Fox was the first opponent she went up against that was actually on the main roster. Back with the Ascension, they lost their first match against their first opponents on the main roster being the PrimeTime Players so I like the fact that they've kept Nia and Braun's streak going. How I think her streak might end could go two ways for me. One, She could be in the match with her opponent and Alicia come out looking for retribution because what happens with most beat downs? You start rivalries. However with some beat downs, WWE tends to forget them and then just move on which is probably gonna be likely. If I had to choose somebody to beat Nia for the 1st time, it would either have to be Sasha or Bayley. Im not saying that anybody elsw couldnt beat her im just saying that Smackdown has more choices of people to beat her first try then Raw with Nikki Bella, Naomi, Natalya and Becky Lynch. Now onto New Day. If u haven't noticed already, a lot of the champions from NXT and Smackdown could also be famous for their indy days such as: Shinsuke Nakamura, Asuka, Aj Styles, and Becky Lynch. So if Raw wants to do that with it then they might make New Day lose to Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson at Clash of Champions. Now with Banks and Flair, it could go either way for me: they could either give it to Sasha to keep with the indy or keep it with Charlotte because of Sasha's back. However, overall this week, there wasnt but a couple of things that stood out this week so Im giving Raw a 7/10.
With Smackdown, there was many things that was going on including the return of John Cena. Now combined with what Styles and Cena said, they have a point: this year really has not been the year for the former Shield members. Another thing I found interesting was the Women's Fatal 5 Way match to face Becky at No Mercy. The person who most people least expected to win was the winner of the match, Alexa Bliss. Its been a hard time for me remembering when Alexa had a chance at any of the titles so either Alexa or Carmella winning would've been a nice change. Then we had a contract signing of Heath Slater. Now I don't think that Slater and Rhyno are going to last too long and here's why: during the quarter finals, semi finals, the finals, and the match with the Ascension on Smackdown it seems like Rhyno has always been there to always try to win for the team with his famous GORE. And last but not least: The tag match with Ambrose and Cena vs Styles and a mystery partner. Styles had asked many people such as Kane and Baron Corbin, but when he went back to Bryan partnerless, he gave him a partner in the form of a local competitor. As he walked down, Miz attacked him out of nowhere and was now Styles's partner which I found interesting. But the interesting duo came up short to Ambrose and Cena. Overall, I give Smackdown an 8/10
My Winner for this week: Smackdown.
