Greetings and salutations Knockout fans! First off, I would like to thank Erin for covering last week’s Impact Write-Up. Please excuse my absence from last week, as I was busy making my way around different parts of Canada in full support of the United States Women’s National Team and their journey to winning this year’s … Read more
It’s NXT time, and we’ve got a big one on deck. Sasha Banks is making her first in-ring appearance since her show-stealing match at TakeOver, set to take on Dana Brooke and Emma. She’s yet to acquire an opponent, but surely she’ll find somebody, right? Right? The match kicks off the show, Dana and Emma … Read more
With the third episode Tough Enough in the books, it’s time for another Redux. This week brings us not one, but two departures from the women’s side of the competition, and they may surprise you. Unless, you know, you’re on Twitter or read this website… We open with the contestants mid-discussion at the Barracks. Sara … Read more
Hey everyone! For the second week in a row, we were treated to a really fun match and a killer in-ring segment on Raw featuring the Divas. The downside? The storylines behind both are still kind of lacking. If I didn’t have any care for my laptop, I would want to shake the screen and … Read more
WWE’s Beast in the East event – the first of its kind of be broadcast live on the WWE Network – wasn’t meant to rewrite history when it comes to the Divas. I’m sure no one expected Nikki Bella to drop the belt in her title defense. I didn’t at least. I was more interested … Read more
Hello SmackDown Redux readers! I gotta tell ya: in this era of Paige-less SmackDowns, I have a feeling it’s going to be crapshoot determining whether or not the Divas Title storyline is going to see any progress on Thursday nights. This week, we have Team Bella taking on Naomi again, but this time it’s Brie … Read more
Hello Knockouts fans! I’m filling in for Josue for this week’s Impact Write-Up. This looks to be a pretty momentous week, so hopefully I can do it justice. On deck we’ve got the Triple Threat Knockouts Title match, which was booked two weeks ago when Awesome Kong and Brooke won their way to a title … Read more
It’s NXT Redux time! This week’s show is noticeably a transitional one, getting us geared up for Sasha Banks’s in-ring return. In anticipation of that, we have Emma displaying dominance over Carmella with her protege Dana Brooke by her side. Also in the wings is an injury reveal by Becky Lynch (no!!!) and a training … Read more
With the second episode Tough Enough in the books, it’s time for another Redux. This week, the contestants take on their first wrestling-related challenge and (because this is a reality show) do plenty of arguing. Let’s dive in. The first competition saw the trainees head to a good old fashioned Florida swamp, where they were … Read more
Howdy everyone and welcome to this week’s Raw Redux. In what appears to be an alternate universe, most of the men’s action was terrible last night whilst the Divas were involved in a lengthy match and a killer promo segment. Hooray! Before I jinx future episodes by rambling on about how exciting the Divas getting … Read more
After some hurdles of uncertainty, conflict of pre-taping shows, false rumors of departed Knockouts and even a production hiccup during the event, Slammiversary has come and gone for another year. At the very least, it was an actual live PPV and did not have the air delay that Bound For Glory 2014 had. You’re almost … Read more
Welcome to another SmackDown Redux! For the second show this week, we’re without our uncrowned #1 contender to the Divas Title, as Paige is too busy calling out sexist assholes on Tough Enough. In her place, Alicia Fox and Naomi are claiming some of the spotlight in a one-on-one match. The overall story may be … Read more
Hola Knockout fans and welcome to this week’s Impact Write-Up, the “live” Slammiversary “go home” show edition. Yeah, I know there are plenty of flaws we can poke at for this year’s soiled event but for the sake of it being one of the few (actual) PPVs TNA is still running, let’s TRY and sound … Read more
Forget news of a potential agreement between TNA and GFW! I’m more excited about all things Ultima Lucha, an event that is sure to create some major buzz in the wrestling world. And yes, much bigger buzz than having Vader return to TNA television! With Ultima Lucha and the end of Lucha Underground season one … Read more
In the last two weeks, NXT served up shows jam-packed with Divas, furthering several storylines and developing many characters. While this week’s show doesn’t necessarily continue that trend, we were still treated to the development of two stories: Dana Brooke‘s beef with Charlotte and Eva Marie‘s redemption tour. Dana’s looking to one-up Charlotte by defeating … Read more
Welcome to the first Tough Enough Redux of the new season! I’m still feeling out the format for these, so bear with me. My instinct says that these Reduxes will be much more useful if they break my impressions of each competitor individually rather than exhaustively recapping the entire show. But we’ll see how it … Read more
Raw took place in the magnificent Suplex City last night and if it wasn’t Brock Lesnar knocking people flat on their backs, it was the referees! Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s Raw Redux. Nine women got screen time last night, yet one of them wasn’t Paige, who you thought would have been around … Read more
Hey guys! It’s been a bit of a whirlwind week in the Divas division, what with Paige asking the Divas to stand with her against the reign of the Bella twins. Things didn’t exactly go her way on Smackdown, which you can read all about right here. SPOILER ALERT: Paige had a bad day. Tonight’s … Read more
Welcome to another SmackDown Redux! This week on the blue show, we’ve got Brie Bella taking on the lonesome Paige. It’s no two-on-one Handicap match, but Paige is still outnumbered, having converted no one to Team Paige yet. Will Paige’s performance here inspire someone to finally join her side? Let’s watch: Pre-match, we spy Brie … Read more
Hola Knockout fans and welcome to this week’s edition of Impact Write-Up! We’ve at least reached the final taped episode leading up to next week’s (not actually) live episode of Impact. With Slammiversary slowly approaching us, you would think there would be a clear direction as to what the Knockouts matches on the card would … Read more
Another NXT Redux brings you another hour filled with Divas booking that the main roster could only dream of (or, in the case of its creative team, have nightmares of). Last week saw the booking put over no less than seven Divas. This week, we’re not that fortunate, but six Divas still see the spotlight. … Read more
The Divas had an iconic match at Money in the Bank, Chyna has turned up at WWE HQ and we actually had storyline advancement that kind of made sense last night. Has hell frozen over? Howdy all and welcome to this week’s Raw Redux! We were lucky enough to enjoy a Divas handicap match last … Read more
I think it’s safe to say that Nikki Bella and Paige exceeded expectations last night at Money in the Bank. Granted, expectations were very low, but it’s always nice to get more than you’re expecting. The match these two delivered almost made me forget the lousy booking that proceeded it. Almost. It was a welcome … Read more
Howdy-hey, ladies and gents! I’m here to bring you the latest from Superstars, a show the Divas don’t often grace. This week it’s the battle of the Brits, as Paige takes on Layla ahead of her Divas Title match tonight at Money in the Bank. Paige heads out first, in all her anti-diva glitz and … Read more
Welcome to this week’s Main Event Redux! I’m stepping in for Eleri this week as we take in a tag match: Payback victors Naomi and Tamina Snuka take on the “tossed darts at a list of Divas” pairing of Emma and Layla. Naomi’s husband Jimmy Uso is on commentary, possibly sharing his insight on his … Read more
