Bobby Lashley Celebrates His Victory Last Night With The "Glitz And Glamour".
MVP was ABSOLUTELY glowing about Bobby Lashley's victory last night at Backlashimania (which you can read about the review for the show here).
Lashley then issued an open challenge for the almighty. And it was answered by Drew McIntyre.
Obviously, MVP and Bobby Lashley was like nah which led to Lashley escaping from the beating that Drew McIntyre was about to give the champ.
Drew McIntyre will rather die than not be WWE champion because Drew has had opportunity after opportunity after opportunity.
I do not mind rematches as long as each match is better than the last and in this case, I don't hate it.
I do understand why people are bothered by this given it's the same match over and over again.
AJ Styles vs Elias.
Kofi Kingston had an argument with Randy Orton stemming from Orton's interactions with The New Day last week.
Meanwhile, Alexa Bliss hosted her "Alexa Bliss' Playground" show and her guests were the women's tag team champions, Natalya and Tamina. I will say, Tamina held herself pretty well in that scene dialogue wise.
Shelton Benjamin gave Cedric Alexander a right hand because Alexander called the former 3 time IC champion "worthless". Ouch.
Another week, another vignette of Eva Marie and you know what that means? Slander courtesy of the least funny person ever (if you haven't figured it out, I was talking about myself).
Angel Garza vs Drew Gulak.
Garza was victorious in this one-sided encounter.
It sucks that this bout was kinda meh because they can pull off a fantastic match if given the time and thought. Unfortunately, that match wasn't the case.
Kofi Kingston vs Randy Orton.
A decent encounter from two veterans. The match concluded with the good old distraction by Xavier Woods' saxophone.
Riddle wasn't too happy with Woods' action so he took his frustrations by pushing Woods.
This is definitely leading to a tag match between all four guys (no f**king sh*t, Omar).
Natalya And Tamina vs Nia Jax And Shayna Baszler For The Women's Tag Team Championship.
This match is what happens when you give a match on Smackdown at the hands of the Monday Night RAW creative team. It was baaaaaaaaaaduh!
Bliss' weird f**king shit led to Natalya and Tamina winning the match and still being crown as tag champs.
Ricochet vs Sheamus.
Speaking of rematches. This bout was decent. I don't watch the Main Event but Ricochet's offence is more grounded and it's less focusing on his acrobatics.
Sheamus won the match to which he put his hat in Bobby Lashley's WWE championship open challenge. Aight.
Damian Priest vs John Morrison In A LumberJack Match.
Speaking, speaking of rematches. I know this doesn't really count but hadn't Miz suffered a torn ACL (wishing him the speediest recovery), Miz would've faced Damian Priest on this very program.
The big man wins and he, like Sheamus, is eyeing on the WWE championship.
Asuka vs Charlotte Flair.
Speaking, speaking, speak……...you get the point. A few outside shenanigans from Rhea Ripley led to Charlotte taking an L from Asuka.
A match that should've been for the red women's belt is Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair and having Charlotte lose like that, isn't a good decision in order to build that championship program.
Bobby Lashley vs Kofi Kingston.
An interesting match as a concept that was terribly executed thanks to, of course, a distraction finish courtesy of Drew McIntyre.
I don't get this tactic from Drew like shouldn't you just let them fight so that you wouldn't have to deal with multiple opponents for the title?
Is Drew McIntyre's arc tonight pretty much the "dumb babyface" cliche? Well, yea.
I've seen people theorize that Kofimania is coming back and I do not see that happening just because the ultimate destination is Drew facing the almighty and Kingston is already in a potential feud alongside his partner Xavier Woods against RKBRO.
In other words, the ending was a way to enhance Drew's rivalry with Bobby Lashley.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.
Like: Nothing.
Didn't like: Too many rematches that weren't good, the ending of the Charlotte Flair and Asuka match, Drew McIntyre as the "dumb babyface" according to WWE creative, Angel Garza vs Drew Gulak.
