I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! I'm kicking my blog back into gear by beginning with the results to Elimination Chamber! Results courtesy of my good friend, Prince Watercress!
Rusev is confirmed as out and unable to compete tonight after suffering an ankle injury in his match with Ryback last Thursday on SmackDown.
Kane tells The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) that all three of them will be in the Elimination Chamber Tag Team Match for the WWE Tag Team Championships. Xavier Woods almost ruins it for them when he asks for a bigger pod so they can all fit, as Kane tells them that they can go first or second so it's not a problem. Big E covers Xavier's mouth, and Kofi says "Don't worry, we'll fit."
Tamina and Brie Bella are officially barred from ringside in the Triple Threat Divas Championship match.
Stardust beats Zack Ryder with a new finisher, the Queen's Crossbow (which is really the Cross Rhodes).
Tom Phillips interviews Lana for #AskLana. She says she has genuine interest in Dolph Ziggler, and that she is being less judgmental after what she did during her time with Rusev. As for leaving Rusev, she says it's bittersweet but she chooses to be free and happy.
Summer Rae introduces The Miz, who has returned to host a special edition of Miz TV. Tonight's guest is Daniel Bryan. D-Bry says he'll be back when Miz says his career is over and that he feels like the victim. D-Bry also says he's been writing a book, and Miz then tells D-Bry to make himself a cash cow. D-Bry responds by telling Miz to shut up and says he's here to present the Intercontinental title to whoever wins it tonight. Miz tells D-Bry he should be lucky he can't touch him, and that D-Bry should listen to him, but Daniel Bryan counters by saying that Miz TV is boring. Luckily, he has an idea to liven it up...Macho Mandow and Curtis Axel, the latter now known as Axelmania. Axelmania and Macho Mandow run wild on Miz, and Axelmania, Mandow and Daniel Bryan do a group crowd appeal afterward.
Eden Stiles interviews Dean Ambrose. Tonight, Ambrose has nothing to lose and everything to gain, and he plans to punch Seth Rollins in the face. Roman Reigns shows up and tells Ambrose he's in his corner tonight, so all he has to worry about is Rollins.
JBL gets us up to speed on how an Elimination Chamber match goes before the event starts.
The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) retains the WWE Tag Team Championships against Los Matadores (Fernando and Diego), The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto), The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor), Tyson Kidd and Cesaro and The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) in the first ever Tag Team Elimination Chamber match.
Lana greets Dolph Ziggler backstage, and tells him it's all about him tonight. Ziggler hopes that soon, it'll be all about them.
Nikki Bella retains the WWE Divas Championship against Naomi and Paige.
In what is probably the biggest shocker this year since Seth Rollins won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Kevin Owens beats John Cena in a Champion vs. Champion match. After the match, Kevin Owens tells the WWE Universe that he started a fight with Cena and that he finished it, then gives Cena veteran advice: it's time for him to go, as his time is gone and Owens' time is now, and that the real champ is here.
Before the next match, Bo Dallas tells Neville that all he wanted to do was help, but he denied him. Now, he plans to force him to Bolieve.
Neville beats Bo Dallas.
Triple H tells Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose that if Reigns gets involved in Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins, Ambrose will get disqualified.
Mark Henry replaces Rusev in the Intercontinental Championship Elimination Chamber Match.
Ryback beats King Barrett, R-Truth, Mark Henry, Dolph Ziggler and Sheamus to win the vacant WWE Intercontinental Championship! During the match, Sheamus' pod door won't open, but it's all a trick as Sheamus removes his Celtic cross necklace from the door to open it, revealing that it was a trick to help him buy some time as well as a way to keep the pod door ajar so he can use it as a shield just in case. After the match, Daniel Bryan and the WWE Universe agree that Ryback deserves it, and Daniel Bryan awards him the title. Ryback thanks Daniel Bryan, calling him an inspiration.
In two weeks at Money In The Bank, Kevin Owens and John Cena will have a rematch! Also, Dolph Ziggler, Neville, Roman Reigns, Randy Orton, Kofi Kingston and Sheamus will face off in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match!
Despite Dean Ambrose wiping out both Seth Rollins and the referee with a top rope manuever, another referee shows up and makes the three-count just in time, and Dean Ambrose beats Seth Rollins to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship...almost. The first referee is back up after the match and explains that he got hit because Rollins pushed him in front of Ambrose. Dean Ambrose still wins, but it is by disqualification and Seth Rollins still retains. Ambrose isn't okay with this, and almost falls victim to the numbers game of Kane, Rollins and J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) when Roman Reigns arrives. In the end, Ambrose takes the title with him, and he and Reigns leave through the WWE Universe.

Vampiro digs deeper into the situation, which causes Mundo to get a little tense.

Chavo Guerrero is having a drink with El Dragon Azteca. He talks about his rich family history, which he says has been painted in blood.

Gettin' RAW - Monday Night RAW recap for May 18, 2015
Triple H shows up to start the show along with Stephanie McMahon, who makes her first appearance on Raw in a while. Stephanie says she's happy to be back, especially after Seth Rollins' victory at Payback. They pay tribute to Rollins with "Seth Rollins: Architect of a Dream." They then pull the black cloth off the table behind them to reveal the WWE Intercontinental Championship, and declare that the vacant title will be defended at Elimination Chamber in two weeks time in an Elimination Chamber Match after Stephanie makes fun of Daniel Bryan's injuries. Suddenly, Sheamus shows up, talks about how he "ended Daniel Bryan's career," says an Elimination Chamber Match isn't necessary, and demands the title be handed over to him. Ryback shows up, makes fun of Sheamus' mohawk, tells him that Daniel Bryan is more of a man than he ever will be, then challenges him to a match tonight. Stephanie McMahon puts them in the Elimination Chamber Match for the Intercontinental Championship, but Triple H feels there's a good idea in letting them fight tonight, and lets them have at it right now.

Rusev is still furious, and tells Lana that all he needs is himself. He tells Lana to get out of the ring and go back to wherever she came from.

Roman Reigns returns this Thursday night on SmackDown!
John Cena shows up. After dedicating the United States title to the men and women of the American armed forces, and declaring it "our championship," Cena declares an open challenge for the title. That challenge is answered by Kevin Owens, who congratulates Cena on his victory at Payback. After harsh words are thrown on both sides, Owens pretends to back out of the open challenge and declare he'll face Cena on his own terms only to get a cheap shot on Cena and hit him with the pop-up power bomb he's known for in NXT. He then stomps on the US title, lifts up the NXT title and tells Cena he can't see him.
Rusev, R-Truth and King Barrett are in the Elimination Chamber Match for the vacant WWE Intercontinental Championship along with Sheamus and Ryback.

Jamie Noble thanks Rollins for the privilege of working with him, and Joey Mercury almost does the same when Dean Ambrose shows up and crashes the party. Ambrose still wants that title rematch at Elimination Chamber, but Rollins won't give it to him. Stephanie tries to defuse the situation by sicking Rollins on him, and when Ambrose goes at it with Rollins, Noble and Mercury go for Ambrose as well. Ambrose fights them all off - and Kane, too - and threatens to smash Rollins' head through a set of cinderblocks with a steel chair. Triple H and Stephanie relent, and promise to give him the match if he lets Rollins go. Ambrose almost reneges, but Mercury and Noble get the chair away from him. Ambrose fights them all off again and goes after Rollins, but Rollins is able to fight off Ambrose and take him down with a Pedigree to end the show.

Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for May 13, 2015
Dario Cueto is in his cell with a mysterious piece of red cloth, which signifies a great deal of power... just as much power as the Aztec gods. He may even just give it to that one warrior that he seems fit.
Aerostar beats the debuting Jack Evans in an impressive match with a Canadian Destroyer-like piledriver from the top rope.
The Mack and Big Ryck are in the locker room. Mack becomes curious about Ryck's stacks of cash and asks him, "where'd he get he get that green at?". Big Ryck says its his business, and advises his cousin that if he wants to make it big in the business, he has to keep his eye on the money.
Fenix, King Cuerno, Sexy Star, The Mack, Cage, Kill Shot and Pentagon, Jr. are in the ring. Dario Cueto emerges from his office and says that the reason for this match is that the prize - Aztec Medallions, but only of them holds a key to immortality. With this, he states that the winner of this match will be the holder of one of the medallions.
Fenix beats Sexy Star, Pentagon Jr., Cage, King Cuerno, Kill Shot and The Mack to win one of the Aztec Medallions!
Dario Cueto has Son of Havoc, Ivelisse and Angelico in his office.

Angelico addresses Ivelisse's broken leg, but Ivelisse says that she doesn't need her legs to fight. With this, Ivelisse and company accepts the title defense, and Ivelisse is (reluctantly) helped out of the office.
Meanwhile, in the locker room, Fenix is deep in thought when Catrina appears from the darkness. She tells Fenix that he made a mistake burying Mil Muertes, and that the latter needed Fenix's 1,000 lives in order to live. Now, that Mil Muertes has been resurrected, she says that he is out to get him. As Fenix reaches for her, she disappears back into the darkness and suddenly, masked banshees lurk on the top of the lockers...
Hernandez vs. Alberto El Patron comes to an abrupt halt when Johnny Mundo shows up and attacks Alberto El Patron, and smashes his head into the window of Dario Cueto's office! Despite this, the match continues with Hernandez simply pinning a busted open El Patron for the win, thus staying number one contender. El Patron had to be carried out by the paramedics to end the show.
Here are highlights from tonight's show!

Everyone else signs, then Rollins asks Kane to sign for him. Kane says he has agreed to sign as his proxy in case he's hurt and can't come to the ring, but refuses to do so since Seth Rollins is standing at the ramp. Rollins then approaches the ring, has Joey Mercury hand him the contract so he can review it, talks trash to all the challengers in an attempt to turn them against one another, then gets in the ring, hands the contract to Kane and argues with him.

Lucha Underground Review 5/6/15
Long time, no see, eh? Sup everyone and welcome to the May 6, 2015 edition of my Lucha Underground review! Now, for the second week in the row, Dario Cueto has been a very busy man. Being on every set! Especially when it comes to sticking his nose into the business of Konnan and his protege, the Lucha Underground Champion Prince Puma. As I like to say in my other review, suspense is on the rise, and if anything, true colors are surfacing as well. The main topics I am covering for this review are: an alliance on the rocks, Cueto's on a roll, and the beauty and the resurrection of the beast. Lets get started!
An Alliance on the rocks!
I guess Vampiro is right when he says that the egos of Hernandez and Prince Puma are too huge for them to coexist as a team. It became pretty evident, when last week, Hernandez persuaded Dario Cueto to change his Triple Threat Match with Cage and King Cuerno to a number one contender's match. When Dario questioned him about Prince Puma, he flat out states that he does not care about Puma being the title holder. What he didn't know is that Prince Puma was in the same room, listening the whole time. Uh-oh! You're talking nothing but trouble, trouble, and more trouble! Later that night, Hernandez won the triple threat, became number one contender, and what makes things even more icky was when he interfered in Puma's title defense against Drago, on the "latter's behalf".
Fast Forward to this week, Konnan attempts to talk some since into his long compadre Hernandez for what transpired last week. Of course, Hernandez was going to make that excuse that he tried to help Prince Puma. But, everyone (fans, Puma and Hernandez) knows that Hernandez sleazed his way into getting a number one contender's match, which ultimately means that he was using his longtime alliance with Konnan in order to get to Prince Puma's title. If ya ask me, this storyline is getting more interesting as the weeks pass. However, we have to see how things pan out in another number one contender's match between Hernandez and Alberto El Patron (who beat Johnny Mundo in tonight's main event to earn the right to face Hernandez). Will Alberto be a stopping block for Hernandez, or will Hernandez prove that he is worthy of the title match, and be able to take the risk on ending the longtime alliance with Konnan to become champion?
Cueto's on a roll!
Man, for these past two weeks, Dario Cueto has been handling his job as the proprietor of Lucha Underground very well! From setting up top notch main event matches to even stirring the pot among the luchadors y luchadoras in the locker room, he's been on his A game. What is leaning heavily on me right now is... his brother. Last week, he introduced his brother to his goon squad, The Crew (Bael, Mr. Cisco and Cortez Castro). The look of shock on their faces says it all, but the fans did not get the pleasure of seeing his face. Maybe this is to be revealed in the later weeks... Also, it seems that he is continuing to get inside the heads of Konnan and Prince Puma. Cueto has made it pretty obvious that he does not want Puma as the champion every since he won the title at Aztec Warfare back in January, and he is willing to go the extra mile for anyone in the locker room to get the title off of him. He even set the standards for the challengers very high (Drago, anyone?).This week, pitting Johnny Mundo and Alberto El Patron against each other in order to face Hernandez to determine the true number one contender, just gets the point across even more. Cueto wants Puma to lose the title, by any means necessary. But, Hernandez is (despite the issues) a longtime protege of Konnan. Cueto did not have to book the match between Mundo and El Patron if he felt that Hernandez was the one to get the job done. Maybe, Cueto does not see Hernandez as formidable champion, but as someone who can exact psychological warfare on Puma to make him think that he has his back. As I said earlier in this post, we are just to have to see how things pan out between Hernandez and Alberto El Patron next week.
The Beauty... and the Resurrection of the Beast.
After a fantastic main event match between Johnny Mundo and Alberto El Patron, we see a rather sadistic vignette of Catrina, who delivers a cryptic message about "1,000 deaths". There, she is standing by the casket of Mil Muertes, whom we have not seen since the "Grave Consequences" Casket Match against Catrina, lover (so it seems) "The Man of 1,000 Lives" Fenix. Catrina, who seems to be back on the side of Mil Muertes, resurrects him as Mil Muertes himself. He's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! Let me just say, this has be one of my favorite Lucha Underground segments so far. I loved the whole concept, the scenery, and Catrina's storied description of death... and ultimately the resurrection of Mil Muertes. Oh, you better believe that he is going to be on Fenix's ass when he makes his in-ring return.
That's it for this week's review! Please feel free to share your thoughts and tune in next week for yet another review. LUCHA! LUCHA! LUCHA!
Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for May 6, 2015
Johnny Mundo and Alberto El Patron are in Dario Cueto's office. They both feel that they deserve a shot at Prince Puma's Lucha Underground Championship. El Patron goes as far as to say that he deserves a shot more than the actual number one contender, Hernandez, who sleazed his way into changing the standard triple threat match into a #1 contender's match last week. With this, Dario Cueto holds up slips of paper with both their names on them, setting up the main event match for tonight, in which the winner will face Hernandez next week to determine the true number one contender for the Lucha Underground Championship.
Ivelisse, who is on crutches due to a leg injury, sits in the audience and torts out orders to her partners.

Meanwhile, in the locker room, Konnan blasts Hernandez for what he did in Prince Puma's title match against Drago last week. Hernandez felt that he saved his title match, but Puma isn't trying to hear any of it. Dario Cueto overhears the fuss, pleased with what he hears, and sets up Hernandez and Puma to tag against Cage and King Cuerno later tonight.

He then give her the ultimatum - if she beats him, she can leave. After a short series of blocks from both sides, Dragon Azteca gains the upper hand, and says that she has a better chance of survival than her parents if she stays with him. Reluctantly enough, she blows out her candle and stays.
Alberto El Patron beats Johnny Mundo in a fast-paced, chaotic match to earn the right to face Hernandez to determine the true number one contender to Prince Puma's Lucha Underground Championship!
Catrina sends a cryptic message about the afterlife. She is standing in front of a casket, which revealed to has the deceased Mil Muertes inside. She orders Ricky Banderas to come back alive as Mil Muertes, and just like the famous Frankenstein scene, he comes back to life.
