WRESTLEMANIA 41: UNFORTUNATELY USO!

 Opening package, and if I can make an Observation, the show didn't open with National anthem. Probably because of all the Global Strife. It was The same last night too.

Show opens with That DJ who bought his way into being a wasted slot in a fighting game, but then The show began proper. 

World's Heavyweight championship, opened the show, given the perceived lack of faith they have with Jey Uso. Uso came through the crowd with flag bearers and cheerleaders, but was uncharacteristically reposed. But small wonder given the challenge he was about to face. Gunther came to the ring with no pageantry. But he doesn't need it. The match started with a Stare down.  Collar and Elbow tie-up, ends in the corner,  where Gunther hits Uso with the chop. But it's Jey who gets the first knockdown,  causing the champion to take a powder. Back in Uso hits a body slam, but Gunther catches Uso on the top rope and chops him, sending him out. Back in with European uppercuts and chops by the world champion. A hard Irish whip gives Jey the momentum he needed to turn this match around, as he hits a spear, but it looked like it was all over with a powerbomb and a very near pin fall. Gunther annoyed by his persistent challenger, storms away with the belt in protest, but it's a trap, as Uso tried to Tope Suicida, but got smashed in the face woth the Title! Sleeper on Jey which got the crowd chanting Yeet! Gunther goes back to the chops,  but Jey is laughing it off! German Suplex by Jey to counter another attempt of a sleeper. Jey pulls moves out of Gunther's playbook with a powerbomb. Super kick and a spear, and not one but three Uso Splashes, jey chokes Out Gunther with his own sleeper. 

WINNER AND NEW WORLD'S CHAMPION: MAIN EVENT JEY USO.

The New Day are the new champions after beating the War Raiders in a flat match.

Naomi Did a carry job for Jade, as expected. 

We have a new US Champion after what was match of the night. L.A. Knight lost the belt to a very game Jacob Fatu.

Rey Mysterio wasn't medically cleared, so Rey Fenix faced Chad Gable's new Embarrassing Gimmick. And this match was terrible, no fault on Gable. (That Reverse 450 splash was great.) Nor was it The fault of Fenix, terrible worker he can be, no it's the booking and the Gimmick of Grand Americano. The world in the state it's in doesn't need it.

World Charlotte Championship. OOF! Tiffy and Lotty, and I'm calling them childish names because they went into business for themselves and didn't play ball or Play nice. Tiffany aka Mini-Charlotte retains

Hall of fame inductees: Michelle McTaker in the Hall fame with her husband and meal ticket. I mean what's the connection? (Yes that was a reference to a twitter thread caused by "Hurricane " Shane Helms.)

The new "Immortal Moment" seemingly replacing the Warrior award, saw Bret Hart and Steve Austin,  re-inducted for their I quit match at wrestlemania 13.

And to cap off Night one, the emotional roller coaster ride of a triple threat was meant to finish...but my God, what a finish. 

Punk rolls out the ring at the sound of the bell, to converse with Paul Heyman. Rollins tries to bend Roman's Ear, but the Tribal Chief is not having it and Slaps Seth. And all three are back in the ring, as Paul looks on All Distraught. Punk and Rollins destroy the CRIME water display. Double DDT by Punk, followed by the Macho Elbow. Spear into the GTS On Roman, who fights out of it. Front T-Bone Suplex by Punk, the set up for the Anaconda Vice. Seth saves the match with a frog splash. Buckle bomb Seth's opponents. Spear by Roman countered into Seth's Pedigree. Curb Stomp only gets 2. C M Punk powerbombed through the announce table. Rollins Speared, Guillotine choke by Reigns. Rollins puts Punk in a sharpshooter .

Guillotine on Rollins, who counters into a Suplex. Stomp by Punk, GTS. And still it continues!  Everyone is Down. Paul has a steel chair to aid Punk...BUT ITS A SETUP! Paul low blows Punk and sides with Roman....BUT ITS NOT A SETUP! ITS A DOUBLE BLUFF!

Paul Heyman has just sided with the winner of the match, Seth Rollins! 

Standby for Night two.

**********************************************

They cooked too early last night, as they always do! 

What we were left with was this!

Unlike the main event of night one, This triple threat was not intricate or intriguing. It was 3 Girls, One fall to a finish, LAAAAZZZZY BOOKING. Apart from not making Iyo Sky a putz, Bianca embraced playing the heel, before going full heel, but this was move doers doing moves. Sky retained. And you know what? She needed to. It was The right decision. 

After a whole year, Drew McIntyre finally took the monkey off his back. It was a Garbage match, true, but Glad for Drew.

Not learning from the three Girl Lazy Booking, we have a 4 man LAAAAAZZZZY BOOKING....And is there any other Wrestler on the wwe roster, who has meant less than Finn Balor? Cause in point he he took the pin, and shocked of shocks, the crowd turned Dominik Mysterio face! Bron Breakker and Penthouse also ran.

Randy Orton issued a Open challenge, since Kevin Owens is out with an injury. And his opponent appeared....because they said his name! Tna World's champion, Joe Hendry is at wrestlemania....and only got a few moves in...which is an improvement to how wwe use to do things with other companies. 

AJ styles vs Loga....



Woman's Raw Tag match. Bailey was reported to be injured, But it was done to contrive an Irish Dream team of Lyra Valkyria and the return of The Man, Becky Lynch, who took the belts from Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. 

Undisputed championship match: Cody Rhodes vs John Cena. After hours of this Crowd sitting on their hands all-night, they finally got vocal for anything that wasn't a surprise entrance. The match starts with a Staring contest. But a shoulder barge by Cody starts the Match. But Cena is having none of it, as he leaves the ring to sulk. Suicide dive by Cody. Cena slows the pace as the match comes back in to a halt with a few big clothesline. Pinfall gets only 2. Sleeper hold as the crowd chants "You Can't Wrestle". Sidewalk Slam. Poke in the eyes, ref didn't see it! Tornado DDT. Five moves of Doom leads to the Attitude Adjustment. Only a two count. Cody may retain....If it wasn't for the Nobody in Europe how tried to hit Cody with a Rolex, (They got him, but not Rock The Dwayne?) Travis Scott is taken out, but Cody is left wide open to a low blow. A belt shot a blown nose, and Cena has broken the Record of 17 title Reigns....IF it wasn't for the fact wwe RUINED THE FINISH BY ANNOUNCING JOHN CENA WILL APPEAR ON THE AUSTRALIAN TOUR'S PPV IN OCTOBER!

Well, that's it! Tomorrow I will have my Schedule up here...and it's not a summer update...it's the entire update for the rest of the year!
