Welcome to the first review of 2022.
I'm once again, your Host, Eamonn Bermingham, Trying this year his hardest to reach 500 posts!
So let's get to it!
We open strongly with the Wwe Universal Championship match between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. The latter played brilliant mind games by dressing in the Shield Gear and coming through the audience. The Security looked confused and were scrambling to keep fans safe, so if you didn't think it was a work, you'd thought it was a real off the cuff decision. What followed was a back and forth emotional match, which ended with Roman getting DQ after The referee, Charles Robinson, checked Seth's arm which dropped into the ropes. Roman would then eviscerate Seth with a chair as it was now clear, Seth was now Babyface.
Now to the Women's Rumble match. A few observations. 1 the Forbidden Door, is exactly that! FORBIDDEN! AS the 1st 2 were Sasha Banks and the NWA's Melina Perez. They did a few poses but, Melina didn't not get a look in. A clear message to anyone who thought Mickie James would unify the Impact Knockouts belt with a Wwe belt In 3 months time.
2: So glad Dana had the sense not to bring the Catering Championship to ringside.
3: To Continue her feud with Naomi. Sonya Deville took out the Returning Cameron, who was only here, so She and Naomi could scrap. That's how we continue this whatever this has been. By bringing back the answer to a WWE Trivial Pursuit question!
4: Ivory returned as the Right to Censor Ivory. And it works. Being a bit older, Ivory now looks more stern and School ma'am like! She chastised everyone and she was eliminated in a minute. And you know what, I was expecting it to happen like that!
5: Was expecting Sarah Logan to beat Nikki Ash for wearing a mask in Public, the stupid Antivax moron!
But the real story. The return of Ronda Rousey who eliminated the entire spread. Ronda pointed at the sign which after the pyrotechnics display, was a smouldering pile all night!
After the shock return, noone had the Enthusiasm left for Becky Lynch Vs Piper Niven. HER NAME IS PIPER, VINCE! People were chanting let's go Piper, before the crowd mics were turned down. Becky retains.
Now to the Wwe championship match. First even though the event that lead to this match was made last minute due to Roman contracting Covid, the match for the title, thanks to the Video Package and Behind the scenes Training Videos online gave this Match, a Sports Based "Big Fight" Feel. From the moment Brock and Lashley locked up, you knew this was gonna be good. Both absorbed countless finishes, so we were never expecting a clean finish. A ref Bump later and Roman attacked Brock. And with Paul Heyman's Help the long con was Complete! Bobby Lashley stole the title from Brock Lesnar, and this will lead to the Main event later.
Mixed Tag was Shit! Noone cares!
In the most Lackluster Royal Rumble Ever! Everyone practically Told Johnny Nailballs and the cast of Jackass where they can stick their movie! Sami got the killing blow on Knoxville, but got eliminated later! In a bit of BULLSHIT! AJ Styles was eliminated by Dadjoke Loss! Also Bad Bunny Is back as a wrestler. So is Shane! But as soon as number 30 was revealed as Brock Lesnar, it was sewn up! The match we wanted to see at Mania, will happen Roman Vs Brock for the Wwe Title 3 months from now in Houston Texas! I cannot wait!
And that's it!
