For Episode 106, we begin the festivities by reviewing Monday Night Raw from June 6, 2016. Stephanie McMahon booked matches involving all six participants for Money In The Bank: Cesaro vs. Chris Jericho, Sami Zayn v. Alberto Del Rio, and Dean Ambrose vs Kevin Owens. Who won to continue to build momentum for the big event in Las Vegas this weekend? John Cena wanted to know why AJ Styles took the easy way out and stabbed him in the back last week. AJ’s response and John’s further retort really amped things up for the dream match coming up at MITB. What did each man say and why did it all, perhaps, hit a bit too close to home for the men involved. We got a very good look at the Seth Rollins vs Roman Reigns rivalry from the perspective of both men prior to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match at MITB. In the Main Event, The New Day took on The Club. What about this match made us think that the New Day’s reign as Tag Team champs may be in serious jeopardy at MITB?

From there we review NXT Takeover: The End. This event was, sort of, renamed, The End of The Beginning. Whatever it was, it ended up being a hell of an event. Andrade “Cien” Almas made his long awaited debut against Tye Dillinger. American Alpha defended the NXT Tag Titles against the former champs, The Revival. The Revival had suffered some pretty big setbacks on the Road To Takeover. But they ended up being anything but the pushovers we thought they would be. Shinsuke Namamura and Austin Aries put on a thrilling match that will likely garner consideration for Match of The Year. Nia Jax looked to power her way to the NXT Women’s Championship. Was Asuka up to the challenge? In the Main Event, Finn Balor looked to recapture the NXT Title in a Steel Cage match against Samoa Joe. Did Finn become the first two-time NXT Champion or would the reign of Samoa Joe continue? We have those answers for you on Episode 106.

We then review Smackdown which saw Enzo & Big Cass take on Gallows & Anderson. Kevin Owens and Alberto Del Rio took on Sami Zayn and Cesaro while in the Main Event, Dean Ambrose and Chris Jericho renewed their rivalry. Who won and who lost? We let you know on Episode 106.
