WINNER: APOLLO CREWS (BACKGROUND).

•THE ROLE MODELS VS BLISS & CROSS VS THE IICONICS (WWE WOMEN'S TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP) - As can be easily foreseen, the sixth PPV of the year opens with the Triple Threat Tag Team Match valid for the title of couple champions among caffeinomaniacs, the iconic (predicted by me as winners) and the models of life who arrive at the Orlando Performance Center as reigning champions, as well as first champions in history; the race director is Chad Putton who, after wearing the belts over his own, makes the bell ring with Bayley and Billie Kay who, after a small alliance, give it for good reason, but all the other participants enter and join two roll-ups follow, but the first maneuver is the ArmDrag of the Boss who, after risking the Gory Neckbreaker, is hit by a kick of the shining girl that leads to another series of roll-ups that precedes a fight among all the girls, but the legal girls are always the same and, as soon as Nikki Cross enters, the latter receives an Australian Spinning Kick and an almost complete sequence of Comeback moves by the champion of the blue roster who, after interrupting the Australian, she is almost dominated by a knee of Peyton Royce, but this fate belongs to Billie Kay who receives the assisted knee of the 4 times RAW champion, but to get out better is the Scotswoman who scores a double Bulldog and, co n a Tag, allows the partner to connect various Lou Thesz Press and a Crossbody on Bayley and Peyton with the latter who, with a Crossbody, drops all the participants and sends Bayley out of the ring with his knee and knocks the Boss with the combined move, but they are interrupted by the caffeinomaniacs, with the blonde who is deceived by the Boss who backs after the Twisted Bliss. WINNERS: THE ROLE MODELS (PINFALL).

•JEFF HARDY VS SHEAMUS- One of the two most heated feuds of the whole WWE will have its climax today, in fact, the Cavaliere Del Vento will finally be able to bring the imaginary score of the feud to the tie; Brother Nero interacts with the athletes of the Performance Center, including Jake Atlas and the highly promoted Eric Bughenhagen, the match begins with a Snapmere and various shots of the Emerald of Ireland who throws it on the fight, with Jeff approving and trying to react, but physical supremacy makes itself felt, but some time, the strategy of the Grand Slam Champion is also felt which rages on the left leg, but distracting itself, it collects a powerful Chlotesline, followed by an European Uppercut and an irregular maneuver, but Jeff lo he sends out of the ring and, after taking a run, he throws himself on his rival. Jeff, unconsciously, takes the steel steps, but thinks and tries a Suplex which, however, opposes him and makes him fall dead on the place where it hurts every man, but he ruined his knee even after a Rolling Slam and a Knee Drop and the officer Danilo Anfibio seems very worried about the face that is beaten with two Irish Curses, followed by a Head Lock, from which he frees himself, but in vain, since he collects a Bycicle Knee which, for a while, does not allow the Irishman to take home the victory and, in fact, collects a Back Drop, to which he responds with another Clothesline and, during an aerial maneuver of the carrot pel, the Brother Nero reacts and connects the Whisper In The Wind, followed by the Comeback move sequence, but at Twist Of Stunner, Sheamus reacts that, after going near the Brogue Kick, he collects a Sling Blade and Jeff goes on the pole to try the Swanton Bomb, but fails twice, only to fail cash in on the White Noise that grants him a back ento from the count of 2 and, despite this, despite this, he does not try the Brogue Kick, but closes it in the Croverlife, but Jeff arrives at the lowest rope. Sheamus, studying what to do, collects the whistles of the fans that allow him to call the Irish band to him and then try the White Noise, but the former member of the Hardy Boyz frees himself and hits the Twist Of Fate and the Swanton Bomb and, after having freed himself from the pinfall, the Irishman wins the contest with two Brogue Kicks. Sheamus won cleanly: the drafting of the final chapter of redemption is postponed WINNER: SHEAMUS (PINFALL).

•ASUKA VS NIA JAX (WWE RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP) - The empress of tomorrow is called to the first defense of her reign titled as champion of the red roster and the challenger, this time, is the almost unbearable (and dangerous in the negative sense of the term) samoana, Nia Jax who is booed by the public and is one of the few times in which they agree with the PC guys, who tend to whistle Heel and support Face who, in this case, has already beaten the opponent in other occasions (in the episode of NXT in Japan and in TakeOver: The End); the Japanese immediately takes over, but the irresistible strength hits the head with a headbutt, but Asuka closes the opponent in the grasp of the mill, but the response is not long in coming and manifests itself with a clothesline, in turn, answered by some taken in the arm that can not do anything before a joke of nature (1.83 mTS 120+ kg) that manages to score a Bodyslam and some irregular grip, followed by a version of Chokeslam, but the cousin of The Rock still cannot win and is closed in the Socket of the Guillotine, transformed into JackHammer of Samoana, but the latter gets caught up in Trashtalking and collects a Shining Wizard, a Dropkick and the sitting. Asuka goes to the kicks, but to the kick to the temple, the challenger scores a devastating Powerbomb, in front of which, the Japanese does not give up and sends her with her shoulder against the support pole of the ring and closes her in a ArmBar with lever on the rope and a Juji Gatame near the baricata and the fight starts which arrives at the referee's 10 account and, at the end of the match, scores a back score. WINNER: DRAW.

•BRAUN STROWMAN VS MIZ & MORRISON (WWE UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP) - The first 2 vs 1 Handicap Match valid for the universal title arrives, with the drivers of the Dirt Sheet attacking the maximum laurel of the blue roster, held by the monster walking between men who, in case of defeat, will be forced to give up the belt to the one who managed to back it; before the match, Miz & Morrison take the microphones in hand and share their new music video with us (single that I have already listened to and it is right in my playlist, although I am a Rock and / or Metal type), but they come interrupted by Braun Strowman's locomotive, his symbol in recent weeks; the match begins with a face to face between Miz and Strowman, with the first one who, after giving the change to the Shaman of Sensuality, commits an incorrectness, allowing the partner to take over and they do it with changes in rapid succession, but arrived Miz's time, the latter scores a Big Boot, but does not have the desired effect and is taken in pieces and inadvertently gives the Prince of Parkour the connection to an Enzeguiri Kick, gives Miz a Baseball Slide and goes to sign with an aerial maneuver that allows Miz to try a miserable pin-back and the super cool gives the change to a John Morrison in great shape and, together with his partner, connects a Double DDT. Miz scores the YES Kicks, but does not reach the last kick and suffers a Chop that throws him from one side of the ring to the other and goes to impact against the support stake, while Miz gives the change to the partner who puts to score several kicks and help the Skull Crushing Finale and back the monster, but there is Miz's involuntary Rope who puts him back on the ex Wyatt Family member who does the kickout and puts Miz out of the game with Chokeslam and wins over Morrison with the Running Powerslam. WINNER: BRAUN STROWMAN (PINFALL).

• DREW MCINTYRE VS BOBBY LASHLEY (WWE CHAMPIONSHIP) - The moment of the challenge for the WWE Championship has finally arrived and the All Mighty, after weeks of Full Nelsons and Rolling Spears, is called to complete the test of the nine that takes place against the largest piece of the red roster and one of the biggest pieces of the whole WWE, The Big Mac. Mindful of their clash in TNA, one can only be optimistic about the success of the contest which, almost certainly, will entertain us and immediately, Bobby Lashley closes the champion in Full Nelson which risks blowing up the contest, but this does not happen and, on the contrary, the ex ECW starts with a giant step forward; the match begins with the manifestation of Wrestling's fury which, after a Suplex, sees his pinpoint neutralized on the account of 1, but does not give up and continues the assault that, after a reaction, he brings back in his hands with a Clothesline and, as a sign of disrespect, he strips the Scotsman of his overcoat, but the champion does not give up and connects a Suplex with a fall on the bridge, but the almighty goes to sign with a NeckBreaker and various maneuvers aimed at the respiratory tract, before being hit by a Clothesline that allows the Scotsman to toss the opponent who, after having let the Scotsman run away from his hands, makes him hit the support pole of the ring. During a running attack, McIntyre sends the assisted MVP who also collects a Suplex against the barricade, to then be hit by the armorer's Chops that connects his move sequence Comeback that loads Lashley on the shoulders, before connecting the Spinebuster , to then be the subject of a Chokeslam from the pinpointing from the account of 1 and then Lashley retries, but always account of 1 and he switches to Full Nelson, but Drew does not allow him and puts the Reverse Alabama Slam on the scoresheet, but Drew gets up after the opponent who, after an aerial maneuver, closes the European in a Crossface, but overturns everything in a Piledriver which is, in turn, overturned in an Ankle Lock which, given the failure, leads Bobby to attempt the Rolling Spear, from which, Drew derives a Kimura Lock, but there is the Rope Break, followed by a Superplex that leads to the Claymore Kick, reversed in Rolling Spear which leads to a backbone from the 2.9 account and what I would not have happens NEVER AND SAY NEVER wanted: come goes Lana who falls on MVP which leads to the distraction of Lashley who loses the match after Claymore Kick. WINNER: BOBBY LASHLEY (PINFALL). A VERY WONDERFUL MATCH RUINED IN EVEN 30 SECONDS.

•STREET PROFITS VS VIKING RAIDERS (WWE RAW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP) - The 4 give it even before the match begins and Erik is thrown on the windshield of Strowman who breaks again and goes to golf clubs, axes and bowling balls , but Montez proposes a clean war and the revelers prevail who, however, cannot keep the advantage, given Erik's knee in Montez, while Bowling and Baseball mix to hit the pin, the Ford club that loses attention of Ivar who suffers Dawkins' Spear who breaks a glass and everyone medicates each other, while Ivar proposes to fight, but motorbikes arrive which prove to be of the new Ninja Stable led by Akira Tozawa who manages to combine the forces of the two Tag Teams, but the Japanese calls to themselves those who turn out to be aspiring Sushi chefs and are used as the final destroyer of Strowman's machine, but only Tozawa remains who calls other reinforcements which is a mountain of almen or two meters and pulls out the katana, while Ivar calls the futile turkey leg to him and the crews of the red show beat in retreat, but when everything is over, the fight starts again on the roof of a truck and everything ends with a Dawkins Bulldog on Erik and Ivar he throws Montez on the others, to then jump into the truck and remember all the achievements made in recent times and are reached by the referee Jessika Carr who considers Ivar cute, unlike the poor Erik ... but the publicity arrives and we are left with the question mark.

• EDGE VS RANDY ORTON (NOT THE GREATEST WRESTLING MATCH EVER) - The other major rivalry in WWE culminates today in Backlash ... but why isn't this going to be the biggest wrestling match ever, as many say? 1) Backlash; 2) Public; 3) 40 and 46 years; 4) Hype. By this I do not mean that it will not be a good match, indeed, it could be, but not the greatest wrestling match ever. The style is very Old School, in fact, the referee Charles Robinson, official historian of the WCW and there are Action Camera at the edge of the ring and FOR MY JOY, the voice of the unforgettable Howard Finkel is reproduced, there is the list of referee rules, but another positive aspect is in post-production, in which additional audience rejoices were inserted, as if we were, as written on the microphones, at Madison Square Garden; the match starts slowly and there are various exchanges of very basic maneuvers and the first incorrectness is of Randy Orton who, during an Edge Head Lock, pulls his hair, but manages to regularly take over with a grip on the head and manages to send the former WWE champion empty over and over again, playing on the pressure on Edge, exerted by the expectations and nicknames given by the WWE Universe and not; new phase of study, but the first game changer belongs to the definitive opportunist who connects a Big Boot on the ringside, but the son of "Cowboy" Bob Orton responds with an Uppercut, but his arm is closed in a submission by the Hall Of Famer who, after having almost undergone a Powerslam, maintains control, until the application of a Viper Weist Lock which is closed in a submission, this time in a Head Lock, but he commits an incorrectness, stamping his opponent's foot, but is punished with a Hurracarrana, to which he responds with a Superplex attempt, but what he gets is nothing but an outstretched arm flying and you can notice his bleeding, probably due to a cut in the eyebrow arch. We return to the ring, where the superstar forbidden to minors hits the Legend Killer with several knees and the application of an imperfect Crossface and, after leaving it, Randy tries the RKO, but is repaid with a Chop and responds with a Backbreaker that looks more like a Neckbreaker, a deduction due to the pain of Edge who is tossed on the ring by the opponent who slams his neck and his head against the steel steps several times, before being dropped on the commentators' table with a Backdrop (which injured one of the Singh brothers), but the pinback is not successful and passes to his old Circly Stomp, before applying a suffocation grip, Edge is not there, but is only thrown to the corner, doing impact the neck against the turnbuckle and it is the subject of the Tri Amigos, but only arrives at the Dos and, just Edge, repays the opponent with the same coin and the two go to the loving Chops, with Orton coming out of the winner, thanks to a Dropkick , after which, impacts Edge's throat against the ring edge turnbuckle and the Apex Predator attempts a Superplex and hits the target, paying tribute to the legendary father who allows him to go close to victory and return to the Uppercut, then go to impact each other with a double Crossbody (characteristic of my favorite legend, Ricky The Dragon Steambot). Edge goes on the stake, but Orton truncates all his ideas in the bud and goes for the Silver Spoon DDT, but Edge counteracts with the old Edgecution which, however, does not grant him the victory, to which, Edge aims with two explosive knees and one elbow running, but nothing to do. Beth Phoenix's husband connects the Flying Crossbody, but not yet, the pinpointing is still premature and retries the Crossface with strangulation, but Randy connects an Olympic Slam (tribute to his old opponent, Kurt Angle), but is hit by a SitOut Powerbomb, but pride takes control and there is yet another Kickout and reports the Silver Spoon DDT, after which, he wants to connect the RKO, but has been called and Edge is not there and tries the Killswitch, but he cannot and connects the Edgecator, but still nothing and, after an attempt by Spear, finally connects the best friend's move, but Randy pays homage to Stone Cold with the Stun Gun, to then execute the Pedigree of his enemy friend at the time of the Evolution, while Edge goes with the Finisher of a other among my favorite Wrestlers of all time, The Rock Bottom of The Rock and try the Sharpshooter, but Randy is not there and there is a roll-up, followed by a Uppercut and, after various roll-ups, there is the RKO: 1, 2 and noooo !! 2.99, these two do not stop. There is only one move left ... the PUNT KICK, but there is the ram blow and Randy suffers another one: 1, 2 and noooo !! We are in the final stages and there is the RKO on the fly: 1, 2 and noooo !! I DO NOT BELIEVE IT; I DO NOT BELIEVE IT. We are over 40 minutes and we move on to psychology, but there is the fainting technique that laid Orton in Wrestlemania and there is a low blow from Orton and there is the PUNT KICK: 1, 2 and 3. RANDY ORTON HAS WON, RANDY ORTON HAS WON! WHAT MATCH BOYS. WINNER: RANDY ORTON (PINFALL). At the end of the match, Randy amicably invites Edge to go home and gives him a pat. Almost 50 minutes of fire. Best wrestling match ever? No, but it was really good: between 4 and 4 and a half stars. I was wrong. Edge has to go back on a stretcher, but categorically refuses and Randy winks.

 REPORT: The PPV has been good, if you want to extrapolate the best and recover it could cover all the matches except the Triple Threat and, if you want, you can skip Asuka VS Nia Jax which was a little disappointing, but not over the top.
