Welcome to this week’s Friday Night SmackDown review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have the first SmackDown of 2020, so let’s enjoy it. I’m here at the home of renowned meth dealer G-uzi and his Kevlar-clad crew of pushers. They do Cross-Fit and drive-bys. We’ve got the TalkTech going to capture the whole thing. G-Uzi: Nice to have you. Nathan: Good to be wanted. G-uzi: Want some meth? Nathan: No…thanks though. G-uzi: You’re welcome.

Welcome to this week’s Raw review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have the Raw after Wrestlemania. Let’s see if it is a success or a failure, like my bid to buy Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling…which was a miserable failure. I’m not kidding. I actually tried to buy Tna in 2014. Anyway, here comes this review, which might just be a lot of fun…might.
Match #1: Raw Tag Team Champions Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins def. The Revival – Raw Tag Team Championship Match The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Curt Hawkins finally won a match at WrestleMania Kickoff — and the Raw Tag Team Titles, too, much to the chagrin of The Revival. But was Hawkins & Zack Ryder’s win a fluke or a harbinger of things to come? All indications point to the latter, as the new champions successfully defended their titles...

Welcome to this review of Wrestlemania 35, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have one of the biggest wrestling cards in history. Let’s see what kind of history will be made by the WWE on a night with the women’s division main eventing its first Wrestlemania.
Match #1: Tony Nese (New Champion) beat Buddy Murphy – WWE Cruiser-Weight Title Match The following comes courtesy of wwe.com:
Buddy Murphy may not care for fairytales, but that didn’t stop hometown boy Tony Nese from living one of his own on The Grandest Stage of Them All. The two former friends collided on the WrestleMania Kickoff in a match that saw Murphy shoot out of the gates in his trademark style. Nese, however, showed no intimidation of competing at The Show of Shows, staying in step with Murphy from the onset. The Juggernaut would not be deterred,...

Welcome to this review of WWE’s 2019 edition of Fastlane, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have a night of weird booking to get to, so get your eye-brow stocked, cocked and ready to fire off a shot of confusion, because this review is starting…why didn’t Sissy Spacek use her Carrie powers in Coal Miner’s Daughter?
The New Day (Big E and Xavier Woods) beat Shinsuke Nakamura & Rusev (w/Lana)
My Take: 2.5 out of 5 – This was good for what it was, but the match just felt like a formality. This match had to share its TV time with some footage of The Miz ushering his father to ring-side for his match later in the card. At least they got to do a few nice moves.
The Usos (Jimmy and Jey): [Still Champions] beat The Miz & Shane McMahon – SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match
My Take:...

Welcome to this week’s Raw review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have Roman Reign’s big announcement, the return of both Sting and Ricky Steamboat, as well as Ric Flair’s Birthday Party. Did you notice if there were any matches scheduled?
Match #1: Ricochet & Aleister Black def. Raw Tag Team Champions The Revival The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
The hits just keep on coming for The Revival, who clawed their way to the top of the Tag Team division only to find several new boulders hovering precariously over their heads. Last week, Tommaso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano checked the new champions, and Dash & Dawson fared no better this week against the other half of the new Nxt contingent, Ricochet & Aleister Black. To their credit, The Revival employed a sound strategy, jumping their opponents before the bell in an attempt to get ahead of their near-uncontrollable foes.

Welcome to this review of the 2019 Royal Rumble Pay Per View, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have an interesting event to cover, so let’s do so.
Bobby Roode and Chad Gable beat Scott Dawson and Rezar (w/Drake Maverick) – Tag Team Match
My Take: 2.5 out of 5 – This was standard stuff that gave these guys a few minutes to show off a few moves, but no chance to really take advantage of being at a huge event with a big crowd.
Shinsuke Nakamura (New Champion) beat Rusev (w/Lana) – U.S. Championship Match
My Take: 3 out of 5 – This was a pretty good match that saw Nakamura regain the title. I assumed that Rusev was made champion just because Nakamura’s contract might have been up, so if he has won it back then I would assume he is going to stay…maybe.
Buddy Murphy (Still Champion) beat Hideo Itami,...

We all just lived through another WWE Superstar Shakeup, and if your head is still spinning, we’re here to help: TheWrap has tracked down where all 96 main roster wrestlers now work.
Readers can check out our “SmackDown Live” gallery tomorrow, though for this one, it’s important to point out that we did not include the Cruiserweights. After all, the “Monday Night Raw” guests have their own show, “205 Live,” and none of them would compete on “SmackDown” anyway.
In our tallies, we only counted regular in-ring wrestlers, so no managers or agents or wives or escorts, etc. — even if they step between the ropes once or twice a year. Though we listed the obvious and current stables and tag teams together, we added up wrestlers individually.

Below is just the half of the “Raw” squad (we mean that literally, it’s a huge roster):
Alexa Bliss
Alicia Fox
Titus Worldwide: Titus O’Neill, Apollo and Dana Brooke
Baron Corbin
Bayley
The Big Show
The Miztourage: Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel
Bobby Roode
Braun Strowman
Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy
Brock Lesnar (with Paul Heyman)
Chad Gable
Curt Hawkins
The Revival: Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder
Dean Ambrose
Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre
Elias
Ember Moon
Breezango: Tyler Breeze and Fandango
Click through our actual gallery for all 54 red brand competitors.
“Raw” airs Monday nights from 8-11 p.m. Et/Pt on USA Network.
