Normally Jericho is fine in what he does, but it'll be interesting to see Jericho in a vastly different dynamic as Wrestle Kingdom feels so much different compared to anything that happens in WWE. Can't wait for this show.

That should be interesting and since I really don't know that much about Wrestle Kingdom when it will be aired ?, don't want to miss it 8)

I think it's streamed on NJPW's own network and it's on January 4th.

Survivor Series is this next Sunday and it seems that Team Raw is going with everything, Triple H is taking the place of Jason Jordan since this last got injured against Wyatt, hope that we can have a good feud between the dude with the biggest nose at the industry with Shane (for all the mess with the Under Siege event) also the Shield will face The New Day which if am not wrong this will be the first time that these two will compete against each other, Bayley has been declared the last woman to be part of the female team, honestly am kinda sad of this cause I was really expecting to see the return of Paige at this event and most important got the idea that Owens and Zayn which are not included in any match will bretaye team Smackdown and become the newest members of the Raw roster, have my doubts about the incident where both wrestlers were sent home from the United Kingdom tour after what happened at the last SmackDown show, wonder what changes will happen tonight at the blue show.

NXT: WarGames is tonight with Survivor Series tomorrow. Gonna be weird watching NXT a little bit as I haven't watched anything from it for quite awhile. Not as many people I know even in the match in particular as most of my favorites have already gone to the main show such as Nakamura, Roode, and Asuka. Other guys I like and know aren't even on the show this time, but the big team main event sounds pretty dope though as it's a return of an old cage setup, with two rings and the teams of three entering one at a time.
Kassius Ohno vs Lars Sullivan - This was good enough as essentially a big man match. Kassius reminds me alot of like a better moving Big Cass with his moves, while Lars reminds me of like the bigger Ascension guy if he was in much better shape. They are really pushing him as this unstoppable big guy. A less intimidating Braun Strowman basically. Nothing amazing, but some of those seemed pretty legit.
Velveteen Dream vs Aleister Black - Sometimes I love stark contrast matches in terms of characters and this one is very much that. Didn't know they had a wrestler of this type, the overly stylish, effeminate, Prince, type. Don't know if he can wrestle, but he's got the character down. This is the weirdest best match I've seen in a long time. Lots of holds and character based mindgames and both are so over. This match was great.
Ended up missing most of the women's match, but I think it was a good choice for the winner.
McIntyre vs Almas - This match had some pretty good some spots and some very inventive interference from Selena.
WarGames - This is a pretty dope looking setup, based on an idea originally made up by Dusty Rhodes, it's a two ring setup in a cage, just with the roof removed so they can do air moves. This could be pretty awesome I hope. Or it'll be a mess, but probably still fun lol What a twist, it was awesome AND a mess! I love it! lol Ah man, that one Sanity tore himself open pretty bad. He was off camera for awhile, but you could just see the blood pool. Crazy match.
NXT once again does an amazing job.

I feel like the women's team match at Survivor was just done to put over Asuka more, which I'm not 100% against, but man it had a lot of slop going on and was another instance of WWE burying Becky Lynch which is so unfortunate. Everything else has just been alright so far. Mostly just skimmed Miz vs Corbin and the tag team championship as there isn't much interest for me right now. Not really expecting much from Brock vs AJ or the women's championship, so hopefully the men's team match is good.
Lesnar vs Styles was about what I expected, which was Lesnar throwing Styles around most of the match with bouts of Styles getting over. Styles was still good though, but man...I hate that Lesnar still has the belt. Guaranteed he keeps it till Wrestlemania and we'll get something awful like Reigns vs Lesnar again.
If there is anything I could be happy for tonight, is that Strowman continues to be the best thing ever in WWE. The final Raw vs Smackdown match was overall good, other than I hated how much of a squash it was. Didn't help that the feed wasn't working right so I missed all of the interaction between Balor and Nakamura, even if it was likely short.
