 What's good Josh you brought us back again with another video man. Just finish watching WWE backlash I'm not gonna call it where they've been calling it the WrestleMania backlash. I'm not doing that WWE backlash now Funny thing is I did not know that the pay review was starting so early. Usually it starts at 7 p.m Central Standard Time But today it started at 6 p.m. Central Standard Time. Well, maybe I'm tripping I'm not sure but Shout out to everyone that was on my IG live letting me know that the pay-per-view had started because I didn't know So I would have been kind of an hour behind but I was able to catch the entrances of Charlotte flair Oscar and Bianca I'm not Bianca Rhea Ripley for the women's championship match that was the match that started off the pay-per-view and Got my notes took as much notes as I possibly could for matches that I cared about. There's some Matches that I didn't really take too many notes. We're gonna talk about that on why didn't take certain Didn't take really any notes for some of these matches, but I appreciate all the love and support Let's get right into it because I know you guys want my thoughts and opinions on On everything that went down on backlash so triple third match for the raw women's Championship I put this in the notes at the beginning I hope Rhea Ripley retains because I feel like if you're gonna build up this new champion from NXT She needs to retain the title They start to double team Charlotte. Obviously Charlotte coming back basically saying I miss WrestleMania I should have been there and now I'm gonna retain, you know regain The raw women's championship, so they start double teaming her Charlotte can't knock Rhea Ripley down with her shoulder blocks Rhea Ripley showing her, you know her strength and her dominance The backbreaker to Rhea then thrown face first into the second turnbuckle I thought that was a pretty cool pretty cool spot, you know saying Then the that was it was a stiff very very stiff kick that Rhea Hit Oscar with when they showed the the slow-mo replay it like you can see when the kick lands It hits Oscar's neck and causes her head to kind of move and she was kind of reeling back For a little bit to ref with the check on her because that that kick look brutal Then Oscar kicking Charlotte in Rhea back and forth kind of like how Danny Bryan does the yes kicks if he's like You know triple threat match against two other opponents. They're both on their knees That's basically what Oscar was doing nice little segment there the moonsault to Oscar and Rhea The moonsault to Oscar and Rhea by Charlotte was beautiful. She executed it beautifully It looked dope and slow-mo just her hitting like her form was you know, it looked really good So I thought that was a nice little spot Then Rhea hits the riptide to Oscar to Retain her championship basically Charlotte kind of screwed herself over in a sense because she ended up I want to say kicking Oscar through the ropes, but she ended up falling out of the ring Charlotte ends up falling on a ring which gave Rhea the opportunity to hit Oscar with the riptide for the 123 win Rhea Ripley retains her championship She's mocking Charlotte and Charlotte's giving her this mean look and I feel like that's gonna be the next match because Charlotte can say You didn't pin me you pinned Oscar, but you never you've never beaten me You know I'm saying and I think if Charlotte goes that route, you know trying to bring up past situations like yeah You couldn't beat me. I took your NXT championship. Remember that. I think that'll be nice. So I think that's gonna be the next few I'm actually looking forward to that and hopefully Rhea Ripley can come on come off on top because I think Rhea Ripley, you know saying if they really book her correctly She could be a very dominant force for the women's division Charlotte's had a time. She doesn't need to win any more championships I'm just keeping it honest with you not any time soon But I think that will be the upcoming women's championship match in the future I think probably for Hill in the cell, but we will see um Dolph Ziggler versus Ray and Dominic for the smackdown tag titles Um Before the match begin Dominic got attacked by Dolph Ziggler and Bobby rude They were you know, basically setting it up as Ray pretty much gonna go out there on a 1v2 situation and try to overcome the odds Ray is Ray was definitely holding his own at the beginning on the match He was attacking both of them like you you know You started to really buy in and maybe Ray could do this because he was you know saying he would gain He was he had a lot of momentum at the beginning of the match just taking them out as much as he could by himself Ray's legs end up getting caught up on the top turnbuckle. So they start really just tag teaming him at that point Ray kicking out of the famous sir was a nice little nice little exchange Then Ray being thrown out the ring like like, you know, I guess you could say like a baseball slide Like Bobby rude through him like a baseball slide as he's falling out the ring or what not He ends up getting kicked in the face by Dolph Ziggler. That's by the announce table nice brutal brutal spot like you the timing on that was perfect Ray I put in my most raised putting up a fight at this point. He's still fighting by himself Then Dominic comes to the ring selling the rib injury Ray hit a bulldog to Bobby rude from the top rope. That was that was very nice At this point, I'm enjoying the match even more. I think I'm liking the match because of the storytelling I like good storytelling and tag team matches. Basically, Ray doesn't want Dominic out there Dominic is out there because he's trying to show that you know saying, you know He wants to be there in his, you know, his dad's corny. He wants to help He wants to gain the championship. So I like the storytelling. They were telling there And I wasn't expecting this I kind of should have seen this the way they set it up, but they won the match with Dominic coming off the top rope for a floor a frog splash to Bobby rude and they end up gaining the tag team Championships and they become the first father son duo to win tag team championships And I think that was very great. I would have loved that moment to have been in front of a live crowd I think that moment in front of a live crowd would have been fantastic So but it was cool to see that and it'll be interesting to see where they go in the future Then there's a little backstage segment Jimmy goes into Romans locker room and he's basically trying to talk sense into Jay like what are you doing, bro? Like, you know saying why are you following? Roman like a lap dog, you know saying we should be going after the tag team titles But instead you in here, you know saying waiting on roaming and working for roaming What are you doing, bro? Get it together dog. So that was a nice little exchange there Now here's the thing This is the part where I stopped taking notes for the most part because I thought this was cringe early in the night the miss The miss and I want to say Oh Morrison we're talking about their upcoming lumberjack match with Damian Priest and Morrison's like, yeah, I'm gonna talk to the guys in the locker room see if we can sort some things out So it'll be in the best interest for you miss. I got you, bro, right? He's going to the supposed rockin locker room where all the superstars are at all the wrestlers at he opens the door And he sees a whole bunch of zombies Now on this part, I started really Cringing hard cuz I'm like, bro. What the hell is this? I get it. They're promoting the movie that Dave Patista's in What is that? What's the name of the movie? Let me let me let me go find this right now So I can be correct here army of the dead Dave Patista is starring in a movie called army of the dead So they're doing a promotion, you know, that's one of the sponsors for tonight. I get that that's cool and all I think you can just keep mentioning it or whatever. That's fine. Maybe show some clips during between the matches That's fine but having zombies in the back now roaming around no and I put this in my nose specifically if they are part of this lumberjack match I'm not watching it miss versus Damian Priest lumber match lumberjack match begins And then the zombies start walking out the fog is all of a sudden start coming by ringside And now let's get out cuz they they don't want to be around the zombies And I instantly said I'm not watching this match. I don't give a damn I'm sure Damian Priest will win spoiler alert. He did win, but I didn't give a damn, bro I I'm telling you I did not watch this match, bro. Like it was so lame to me, bro and ultimately Damian Priest wins and as Mrs. Lane in the middle of the ring It's implied that the zombies got in the ring and started eating him and on the outside John Morrison Got eaten up too. That shit was laying, bro. If you like that More power to you. I did not like that. That was lame. That wasn't cool. That wasn't Interesting why is this on my wrestling show? Like it's just guys in zombie makeup, bro And now Ms. Has been eaten alive Whatever bro moving on Jimmy saying There's another backstage segment where Jimmy is basically talking to Jay and he was like, you know what that locker room Shouldn't say Roman Reigns that locker room should say Roman Reigns and his bitch Which is J. So I like that. I like how Jimmy is really just trying to get Jay to understand like bro at the end of the day Give it a stack with you. You're really Romans bitch, but that's neat of him out there So next matchup Bianca versus Bailey for the Smackdowns women's championship I didn't really take too much notes on this match one I was starting I fixed me some food and then two it was an okay match for me I just I wasn't really as invested as I should have been or I wanted to be it was a decent match I Had to make this very clear and I wanted to talk about this Bianca Bella Bella is very athletic She's you can see her athleticism throughout the match Bailey drop in Bianca stomach first on the steel steps was nice Bianca kicks out of the Bailey the belly thought that was a nice little nice little kick out spot Bianca used her hair to pin Bailey Towards the end of the match for her to win basically I Want to say Bailey was trying to use the hair and she ultimately ended up using the hair towards the end in the match and she was going to use it for her advantage, but Bianca was able to overturn that and use her hair to use it as leverage to tie around Bailey's leg to get the pin the ref didn't see it So Bailey's mad she's going to announce table telling Michael Cole to run the replay show the replay Bianca cheated and then she tries to get the ref over there Yo ref Bianca cheated she used her hair and then the ref said well you was cheating too I thought that was funny, bro. I thought that was a nice little segment like Bailey was you know using some heel cheap tactics breaking them the eye and stuff like that So but Bianca retains the championship, which I expected. I'm not sure if they're gonna continue to feud we will see But I don't know who's next up for the women's Smackdown Championship, I don't know who would be another contender. So we will see what happens on that end The triple threat match between Bobby Lashley Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman for the WWE championship this match. I knew was going to be Hard-hitting and it definitely was I said at the beginning before the match even started. I do think Bobby Lashley will retain him I think he's gonna lose the title right now Drew working with Bobby to attack Braun Strowman at the beginning It was a it was a nice sight to see they didn't want to work with each other, but they decided to At this point The homies a dub and Brandon they called me So I was on the on FaceTime with them We was talking about some inter clutch business related stuff, but I was still watching the match You know I'm saying and from what I was definitely seeing even though it wasn't taking as many notes I was definitely enjoying the spots and just the brutal nature of it, which I expected it to be Braun using the steel steps to destroy Bobby Lashley was nice also previous to that that very spot Bobby Lashley just kind of slinging drew into the steel post was nice drew pretty much throwing Bobby Lashley through the LED board set like it was like a little section on the side by the ramp area He just throws him throws Bobby Lashley through it sparks go everywhere You don't see Bobby Lashley into the end of the match Obviously, you kind of know if you've been watching wrestling for a while. He's gonna get involved. He wasn't out the match completely then Braun tackles Drew McIntyre down the ramp all the way to the ring apron and then brawn destroys drew Through an announce table. That was a nice little spot nice This match was just hard hitting which I expected three Tall strong men going at each other You can tell this was going to be like a just destruction everywhere Then drew hits to claymore on brawn then out of nowhere Bobby Lashley throws drew out the ring and then hits brawn with a spear for the one two three Victory and Bobby Lashley out of nowhere retains His WWE championship, which I think was the right booking decision. Now. The question is where do they go from here? I don't think drew needs another rematch I don't think brawn needs another rematch that needs to be somebody else to come up to step up to the plate To try to take drew championship The question is who cuz I don't know cuz I don't watch raw cuz raw is boring so comment down below let me know who y'all think should be next to take drew's championship match and Drew's championship title. So the best match of the night, which come on If you didn't think this was gonna be the best match of the night I don't know what to tell you Roman versus Cesaro. I said this on my Reaction to Jimmy and Jay and Roman on smackdown in my video I said this that when it comes to Roman Reigns since he's been back He has put on nothing, but fantastic matches with everyone He's been in a feud with from Jey Uso all the way down now to Cesaro, bro Fantastic match. I love this match this match made Cesaro look like a million bucks, bro a Million bucks they made Cesaro look great in this match Roman didn't want Jay to come out to the ring. He's like, nah, I got this you go find your brother He didn't want them to come out to the ring. I like that. They start locking each other up in the ring Cesaro showing off his strength against Roman. They start locked. I already said that I'm tripping Cesaro showing his wrestling ability causing Roman to step out the ring to get a little breather. Okay, this guy's showing his work That springboard uppercut to Roman very beautiful. Love that spot They were a hard-hitting stiff elbows and punches I was I was liking that. Well, I just stiff moves when it comes to them hitting each other I was enjoying that. I like how Cesaro must Romans face like get out of my way You know after a pin attempt, he just mushed his face and Roman got pissed off by it The pop-up pop-up uppercut to Roman was nice Cesaro's court screw off the top rope was hella beautiful to Roman on the outside Now Roman is starting to focus on Cesaro's arm Cesaro was locked up on the top rope and his arms all contorted by Roman So now the remaining of the match remainder of the match is Cesaro's right arm being attacked and brutalized Now let's see Dirk at this point Roman's happy about this Roman he's smiling. Oh, I got this now. It's over for you, bro I know what you're in pain with I'm about to take advantage of that Roman starts to bend Cesaro's arm He starts you applying arm submissions I like how Roman Matt his his moveset changes depending on the opponent He starts he'll focus on certain stuff if he has to and I love that bro Roman starts talking his shit Roman starts Neon Cesaro in the corner brutal knees Roman starts trash talking even more Cesaro using a clothesline on Roman with the bad arm and obviously he's selling that bad arm So he aren't instantly just drops down in pain I put in my notes at this point this match is really good The suplex to Roman while he's on the ring apron while Cesaro is on the second rope inside the ring Shows the true testament of Cesaro strength. I think we all know pound-for-pound So Zara's one of the strongest people in WWE so Zara couldn't go for the neutralizer because of the bad arm So Zara kicks out of the Superman punch Once again, I have to put amazing match because I thought it was over at that point I ain't gonna lie to you like the way that was setting up the false finishes was well-placed So Zara going for the sharp shooter on Roman. He's a plot. He applied it Roman was able to get out and I put again in the notes. This match is ridiculously good Cesaro blocking Roman With his forearm punch, you know how Roman likes to go for the ground the power Cesaro is blocking it overpowering it even with the bad arm Cesaro powering out of the guillotine. He did it twice Like he was able to power slamming on power out of the guillotine, which is very impressive but ultimately Roman was able to cinch in the guillotine even tighter and Cesaro passes out. He didn't tap. He passes out J comes out Basically, I'm not sure what it's called But you know, he is like these these like these tribal flowers He gives to Roman or whatnot and then he's like y'all let me get him because so far I'm still in the ring So Jay ends up attacking Cesaro after the match He he's going to the top rope to hit the splash then all of a sudden chef Rollin comes out there when this Ridiculously looking suit comes out there stands in front of Roman and starts laughing and then starts to attack the hell out Of Cesaro start hitting him with steel chairs. He's going for Cesaro's bad arm He puts his arm through the seat of the chair closes it then slams it Cesaro's arm while his arm is in the steel chair wrapped around slams it against the steel post now So it's all right in the pain to insult the injury Seth hits the stump to Cesaro on the outside and Seth is in the middle of the ring, you know being a mega heel and that's how the show ends and I'm not gonna lie to you. I Enjoyed it. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I Do think this is setting up possibly another match between Seth and Cesaro Because Seth came out there and our bro. We ain't done So I think this is setting up another match between Seth and Cesaro I think Cesaro may be one and done it sucks But I think the few between Cesaro and Roman is one and done he put on a fantastic match Roman just he did his thing man. He won clean. This is not the first time Roman has won without no help This is what makes this so great. He won clean He did not have to use Jay or Jimmy's help He did it by himself and that's what makes a champion a heel champion even that much more Like harder to beat they can beat you with no help. They don't need anyone's help You know I'm saying Roman doesn't need anyone's help. You know I'm saying to beat you That's what makes him in my opinion a better heel than most because I get tired of heels always using Something to help them win. It's cool at sometimes, but it's also it makes it seem like damn You really can't win without help But it makes it even better when it's like well actually he can because he's won several matches several championship matches But he didn't need no interference to get the job done and I think that was beautiful to see Roman Reigns still the best thing right now the best match he always have the best matches now and Roman Reigns is Still your universal champion and I don't know who feuds with a mix I have no idea who they will have a few with him next But I think they're gonna start going with the Jimmy Storyline, I think that's more triggering so I feel like Cesaro and Seth is about to have their feud restarted again It may be at Helen. They may have a hell in a cell match I'm not sure yet, but we will see how that plays out, but I do think at this point They're gonna start focusing on the family Situation between Jimmy J and Roman and I'm not sure how that's gonna play out, but I'm interested to see I'm interested to see where this goes.
