I’m sure this will be the usual recap show following TakeOver with the couple matches that were filmed prior to the big show. At least my girl Bianca Belair will be wrestling, I’m definitely looking forward to that.

DREW GULAK W/ THE BRIAN KENDRICK VS. LINCE DORADO W/ KALISTO & GRAN METALIK
Throughout the few months with Gulak feuding with the members of Lucha House Party, I’ve been saying I hope they keep it going, and they’ve done that while still making each match feel fresh. Over the past few weeks Kendrick & Gallagher have been added into the mix and it’s definitely enhanced the feud. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Gulak win this match since he’s already beaten Kalisto and Metalik in singles matches.

Paige announces a number one contender gauntlet match tonight. Hopefully it’s awesome.
BREAKING NEWS: BIG CASS RELEASED
From WWE.com:
WWE has come to terms on the release of William Morrissey (Big Cass).
This is a shock. I was sure that he would beat Daniel Bryan at MITB, but if this was a situation where he had already asked for his release and they needed to get one more match from him, it makes sense that he lost. I thought he could really be a great heel and possibly a world champion. Maybe he still will be someday. Good luck Cass. Hopefully we get some additional information on this soon.

OPENING SEGMENT: KURT ANGLE, ALEXA BLISS, & RONDA ROUSEY
I really hate that Alexa gets cheered after insulting the crowd. There’s nothing she does that deserves cheers. She’s a great heel but I can’t think of a single thing she does that should elicit a positive reaction. No smiles for Ronda tonight. Ronda gets fucking ROWDY and probably just got herself suspended, just a way to get her off tv. If that’s the last we’re gonna see of her until around Summerslam, well god damn, that’s a hell of a way to go. This is the Ronda I’ve wanted to see since she arrived. That powerbomb was terrific after a perfect heel promo from Bliss. No way Ronda couldn’t respond to that. Just as I called it, there’s a 30-day suspension handed down by Kurt. That’s the best Raw opening in a long time. I’ll be watching it on repeat.

Money in the Bank Review
I’m so happy that during the kickoff show the crowd is already chanting “Rusev Day.” But you know, I was on the crowd early about how they were for TakeOver but they ended up being great. A hot crowd is a hot crowd, I just hope they don’t try to hijack the show.

SMACKDOWN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: LUKE GALLOWS & KARL ANDERSON VS. THE BLUDGEON BROTHERS (c)
Good opportunity for Gallows & Anderson and I hope they get more in the future, but it’s not yet time for them to take the gold, and it’s not yet time for the Bludgeons to lose the straps.
PREDICTION: The Bludgeon Brothers retain
NXT TakeOver: Chicago II Review
There’s a Spanish announce table. You know what that means.
NXT TakeOver: Chicago Predictions
CHICAGO STREET FIGHT: JOHNNY GARGANO VS. TOMMASO CIAMPA
Johnny went over in New Orleans and he left standing last week, but I expect Ciampa to pull out the victory here. Look for Candice LeRae to do something that takes Johnny’s head out of the game long enough for Ciampa to capitalize.
PREDICTION: Tommaso Ciampa
