PANIC! AT THE ROADBLOACK
We are on the fast track to Wrestlemania once again. After a successful Fast Lane show, theres no stops until Wrestlemania……..Is normally the way it goes. This year theres a bump in the Road to Wrestlemania
This Saturday is WWE Roadblock, a 3 hour special (Used to be called Pay Per Views, as your parents kids) on the WWE Network. Normally these 3 hour specials that aren’t the traditional shows have no real bearing on the main storylines……This is not the case. Im gonna run down the card and give my thoughts. Once again, this is a 3 hour show
Triple H © vs Dean Ambrose
In 3 weeks, Hunter defends the title against Roman Reigns. Meanwhile, Dean Ambrose is booked to take on Brock Lesnar in a street fight. In what reality would moving the title make any sense here? Who am I kidding? WWE and making sense hasn’t been a thing in years. I sense a Dean Ambrose win by DQ with H retaining
Winner: Dean Ambrose (DQ)
The match that the Rumble set up for what was supposed to be a Wrestlemania match. Instead, Wyatt has no plans as of now, and Lesnar has the street fight with Ambrose. Once again playing the “makes sense” card
Winner: Brock Lesnar (7 German Suplexes and 2 F5’s leading to a pin)
The Revival (Scott Dawson/Dash Wilder) © vs Enzo Amore/Colin Cassidy
The surprise match on the card by far with NXT having Arrival: Dallas 2 days before Wrestlemania. Amore and Cas have been the best tag team to not hold the titles in their run with NXT. Rumors have the team making the leap to the main roster after Mania, but I think they need a run with the belts, even if its just 3 weeks. And you cant…teach….that
Winners: Enzo Amore/Colin Cassidy (By Pinfall……HOW YA DOIN!)
The New Day © vs The League Of Nations (Sheamus/Wade Barrett)
This match was just added to the card prior to me writing this blog. If you’ve followed The New Days videos on wwe.com, you know that The New Day has been plotting for the demise of the LoN for weeks now. After a MOTY candidate on this past Mondays Raw, The New Day shouldn’t lose these belts anytime soon
Winners: The New Day (By Pinfall)
So that’s the card as announced for a 3 hour special on Saturday. 4 matches….
I’ll be back next week with the review and my Mania buildup thoughts.
