WWE Roadblock

So Shooters....we now have an idea of where Wrestlemania is going to.

With WWE Roadblock behind us, we are now clear to Mania week. But what happened in Toronto?

Results:


Tag Team Championships:
New Day (Big E and Kofi Kingston) def. The League of Nations (King Barrett and Sheamus) to retain.

A good tag match that had little to no hype behind it, my only real gripe was Barrett taking the pinfall.  One botched spot didn't ruin the fun, and the fact that the New Day FINALLY has the box (though not the cereal) of Booty O's makes me quite happy.

Chris Jericho def. Jack Swagger

The match was meant to make Jericho look strong going into Wrestlemania, and honestly....his promo did more for me in his credibility in comparison to his match with Swagger. (On a side note, I thought Swags would have more to do since December. His match with Del Rio was worth giving him more opportunities). To be a Canadian that can make a home country crowd boo you enough to support the American opposition is to be a true heel. Well done by Jericho (as if he doesn't impress on the mic as a bad guy).

6 out of 10 for the match, 9 out of 10 for the promo before the match

NxT Tag Team Championship Match
The Revival(Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) def. Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady to retain

The first of what would be fantastic title matches that more than impressed. Amore and Cassady were absolutely over and had the crowd eating out of the palm of their hands. Dash and Dawson were as efficient as ever and equally as boring (which is what they're trying to do). The crowd was into this match the entire way and the ending was both fitting for The Revival as they enter Takeover Dallas, as well as Enzo and Cass as it seems they could be on their way to the main roster.

Divas Championship

Charlotte w/Old man that needs to get out of here....also known as Ric Flair def. Natalya

The promo before was very good, especially considering Natalya is usually pretty vanilla in these segments. The match (while not their classic for the NxT Women's Championship at the 1st NxT Takeover) was brilliant. They really had a good knitty, gritty match that was very psychology-heavy on both the holds and the drama. There wasn't any over-reaction from either champion or challenger and was just really solid all the way through. Only argument is having Nattie break the hold because Ric Flair was being Ric Flair (for the record, considering that heels are supposed to get under your skin...yes he's doing a good job. That being said, if he doesn't get hit in the grapefruits at Wrestlemania by either Becky or Sasha and Charlotte retains, I'm going to rage like crazy).

7.25 out of 10

Brock Lesnar def Luke Harper.

Originally this was supposed to be Lesnar vs. Bray Wyatt. Then Wyatt made it a 2 on 1 handicap match.....and didn't even get into the ring. Harper got suplexed 8 or 10 times (once again...it wasn't 14 and I'm still salty) but he also got in three super kicks, two discus clotheslines, and a suicide dive.
Lesnar wins....Wyatt didn't come in.....and Harper had this look on his face as if the seeds of future dissension were going to happen....(and then he got injured two weeks after this event was over...oh Neville (while not on the card) got injured the monday after Roadblock).

5.5 out of 10

Sami Zayn def. Stardust

This was to make Zayn look good. And to an extent it did. It was also slow, and sadly underwhelming. Mostly due to iffy chemistry.

6 out of 10

Main Event: WWE World Heavyweight Championship

Triple H def. Dean Ambrose to retain

Hands down, best match of the night, and probably the best match of 2016 to date in WWE. Hell, Ambrose's best match overall in his career. The drama, the psychology, and the false/true finishes, all did wonders to both Triple H as he prepares to job to Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose as he prepares to job to Brock Lesnar. (Depressing ways to look at it but WWE should prove me wrong).
Brilliantly executed, and it pissed me off like a heel winning is supposed to

9.5 out of 10.

I'm going to have a few more up in the upcoming days, most notably an NxT Takeover Dallas Preview and of course YOUR Wrestlemania 32 preview as well. And New Japan/Roh that I should have published awhile ago.
