Happy Thanksgiving to everyone from your friends here at the Attitude Of Aggression. We close out your Holiday weekend by reviewing for you all of the great WWE/NXT action you may have missed while you were travelling and/or on vacation…or in a turkey induced deep sleep. Whatever the case, we have you covered.
We start things off by reviewing Monday Night Raw from this past week. This was the fallout show from all the events that took p[lace at Survivor Series. How would Roman Reigns react to getting screwed out of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship yet again? What would the new champ, Sheamus, have to say about it? We look at that developing story for you. Paige and Charlotte continued their feud on Raw. Could Charlotte continue to roll or would Paige derail the Nature Girl’s train on Raw? The Tag Team division continues to heat up. Who has now emerged as the top contender to the New Day’s titles? All that plus we provide analysis as to the Main Event on Raw this past week, a very good match between Roman Reigns and Rusev.
We then move on to NXT where the action was awesome. We cover the contract signing between Samoa Joe and Finn Balor for their NXT Championship match coming up min London in a couple of weeks. Were the Vaudevillains able to recapture the Tag Team titles from Dash & Dawson? Could Dana Brooke gain a measure of revenge in her match against Asuka? And could the unthinkable happen? Could Eva Marie actually capture the NXT Women’s Championship from Bayley? We have all those answers for you and we take a close look at the masterful job that NXT and, yes, Eva Marie did at making this mini-storyline so much better than it had any right in being.
It is then on to Smackdown where the Main Event would feature a Triple Threat match between Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler and Tyler Breeze to determine who the new #1 contender would be to Kevin Owens’ Intercontinental Championship. Who prevailed and staked his claim to a shot at KO’s title? We have the answers for you on Episode 53.
We then close out Episode 53 by giving you Chapter 2 in our Back To The Front segment of the show. We go back to September 11, 1995 as the Monday Night War truly begins. This is the first time that Raw and Nitro aired on the same date, at the same time. We provide detailed review and analysis of both shows and give you our verdict as to which show was the better of the two in this early skirmish of the War. Nitro had a Main Event of Hulk Hogan defending the WCW Championship against Lex Luger while Raw’s Main Event featured Shawn Michaels defending the Intercontinental Championship against Psycho Sid. With all that star power, something big was bound to happen. Which show was better? Tune in to Episode 53 to find out.
