The Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley & Bryan Danielson) vs. Dante Martin & Matt Sydal (AEW Rampage 05/20/22)

Consistent great showing from the BCC. The BCC is perhaps my current favorite team in AEW (besides Starks &Hobbs). Gonna give credit to the high flyers for putting on a solid match against two of the very best in AEW, and being able to hang on most of the match. I'm not that sold yet on the BCC going against the Jericho Appreciation Society but let's see where that will go. Overall, a solid match from Mox and Bryan as usual.

Ilja Dragunov vs. Jordan Devlin 2 - NXT UK Championship -- Loser Leaves NXT UK (NXT UK 200th Episode 05/12/22)

If you haven't started watching NXT UK, you're probably missing out. You rarely see NXT UK getting featured on talks, podcasts, etc., but it houses one of the best talent pool with tremendous wrestling showcases that come with it. This specific match is a good starting point if you want to explore the British style of wrestling. I can't say good things enough about the execution and pacing of the whole match that just lured me in for a good 20 minutes. Devlin and Dragunov are perhaps the two best wrestlers they currently have on the roster and they indeed delivered on the said main event. Curious to see where Jordan Devlin goes after this (will probably move to the States in NXT 2.0) but we'll see. Don't sleep on NXT UK -- you won't regret it.

A-Kid vs. Charlie Dempsey - NXT UK Heritage Cup Rules (NXT UK 05/26/22)

Okay. So here's another classic from two of the most talented young guns of NXT UK. For those who aren't aware. Charlie Dempsey is the son of the legendary Sir William Regal (yes, that's right) and has been one of their highly featured superstars in the roster. Both men have continuously produced classic after classic after classic so it's only logical if they have this long awaited rematch. Did it deliver? It certainly did.

Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. Jay White - IWGP World Heavyweight Championship (NJPW Dominion in Osaka-Jo Hall 06/12/22)

I have been out of the New Japan loop for quite a while so this match specifically piqued my interest. I've been a fan of Jay White since his early young lion days way back 2016 and to see how far he's grown as a competitor is such a treat to see. A 26-minute masterpiece between arguably the best Japan has to offer in Okada and the fastest rising star in Jay White, this turned out to be one of the best matches I've seen this year and it did exceed all my expectations.

Riddle vs. Sami Zayn (Smackdown, 06/10/22)

To say Riddle is having the run of his career is an understatement. Ever since Orton was put on the shelf due to injury, Riddle has consistently been targeting Roman Reigns and The Bloodline with hopes of dethroning the 650+ day reign of the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. Sami being heavily featured in this program is just so amazing to watch as his storytelling skills is definitely at par with his in-ring work. I'm interested to see the aftermath of how Riddle will take the loss from Roman because let's face it -- no one's good enough to dethrone the tribal chief at this day and age. Acknowledge him.

Roman Reigns (c) vs. Riddle - Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Match (Smackdown, 06/17/22)

You see, this is the match that just propelled Riddle to the next level. Pairing Riddle with Randy Orton was one of the best things WWE booking has ever done in recent years. The match was perfectly paced and both were heavily protected in terms of their respective presentations. The story telling in this match itself kept me invested and tuned in. The crowd was 1000% behind the said match and commentary was superb as well. This was definitely one of my favorite Smackdown main events in recent years and I could not give both men enough praise. Amazing, amazing match.

Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus (c) vs. The Young Bucks - AEW World Tag Team Championship (AEW Dynamite: Road Rager, 06/15/22)

I'll keep this short and sweet. If you're going to talk about tag team wrestling in this day and age, you'll always have to mention the Bucks -- and AEW is definitely the place to be when it comes to amazing and suspenseful tag team action in the ring.

Current match card for AEW Forbidden Door on June 26th:

Jon Moxley vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi for the interim AEW World championship

Will Ospreay (c) vs. Orange Cassidy for the IWGP United States championship

Thunder Rosa (c) vs. Toni Storm for the AEW Women’s World Title

FTR (c) vs. Jeff Cobb & Great O-Khan (c) vs. Roppongi Vice for the ROH & IWGP tag titles

PAC vs. Miro vs. ??? vs. an NJPW qualifier for the All-Atlantic title

Eddie Kingston, Shota Umino & Wheeler Yuta vs. mtc Jericho, Minoru Suzuki & Sammy Guevara

Jay White (c) vs. ??? for the IWGP World Heavyweight title

 

Honestly speaking, this seems a bit lackluster to me. NJPW visibly won't be sending the likes of Okada, Naito, Goto, etc. for unknown reasons. Maybe they still hold a grudge of some sort? Nonetheless, I hope the card gets saken up a few days from today to pique some interest on a rather underwhelming and overhyped PPV event from AEW.

In honor of John Cena's 20th Year Anniversary, I'll be posting my Top 10 favorite John Cena matches of all time.

10. John Cena (c) vs. Sami Zayn - United States Championship Open Challenge (RAW, 05/04/15)

Montreal is such a place where a lot of controversial (and some great) wrestling moments are made. This is one of the latter. I remember popping so hard for the Hitman when he came out, and even popped harder when Sami Zayn's music hit. It was one of those moments where you least expect something to happen and then it did. Cena's 2015 US open challenge series really opened the door for a lot of up and coming superstars and every match was definitely a banger.

9. John Cena vs. Kevin Owens  (Elimination Chamber 2015)

This was one example of a great way to introduce new talent. Cena definitely elevated KO in this very match - from the selling of the moves, the in ring storytelling - it was just everything you want for a debut. Fast forward to today, Kevin Owens is hailed as one of WWE's centerpieces in its current product, and we have John Cena to thank for that.

8. John Cena (c) vs. Daniel Bryan - WWE Championship (Summerslam 2013)

The early days of DB's run of a lifetime and there's no better way to kick it off than with the man himself, John Cena. It's been highly criminal that Cena's been always criticized as "boring" or "stale" when it comes to his skills but in reality, he's definitely far from that. No one can tell a better story than John himself (at least in my opinion), and this was another instance of a star-making match from arguably one of the greatest of all time. (Fun fact: this was the beginning of Daniel Bryan's meteoric rise to the top that culminated at Wrestlemania 30)

7. John Cena (c) vs. JBL - WWE Championship "I Quit" Match (Judgment Day 2005)

Fresh off his iconic Wrestlemania 21 world title win, this followup match is not for the faint of heart. Hailed as one of the bloodiest I Quit matches in WWE history, the compelling rivalry between John Cena and JBL had nothing but an unforgettable close to an amazing chapter.
