The WWE held their Extreme Rules PPV this past Sunday. The WWE will likely go in a new direction after the Extreme Rules PPV.

Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch defended their championships against Baron Corbin & Lacey Evans. Kofi Kingston put up the WWE Championship against Samoa Joe. Ricochet defended his United States Championship against A.J. Styles. In a triple threat match, Daniel Bryan & Rowan defended the SmackDown tag titles against New Day &…
Daddy’s Hangout Stomping Grounds PPV Review
Honestly, with the way the WWE have been going lately I was going to skip the Stomping Grounds PPV. With the Super Showdown still fresh in a lot of fans memory, this PPV wasn’t doing it for me. If you read online, fans have been shitting on the product for a while now. With the emergence of AEW and their successful, Double or Nothing the WWE have got to get things right. I’m not one on the AEW bandwagon because you can throw events together, but we’ll see after months being on TV. Anyways, I’m happy to say that I’m glad to tune into the PPV because it wasn’t bad…
Daddy’s Hangout Presents NXTTakeover XXV Review
Last night, we had NXTTakeover XXV and we didn’t have a main roster PPV. If you’re a wrestling fan, these last few weeks have been amazing. Two weeks ago, we had Money in the Bank. Last week, All Elite Wrestling has their debut PPV, Double or Nothing. It’s crazy to think it’s been five years since NXT started their Takeover events.

Velveteen Dream defended his North American title against the returning Tyler Breeze. The Street Profits, The Undisputed Era, The Forgotten Sons and Oney Larcan & Danny Burch fought…
Daddy’s Hangout 2019 Money in the Bank PPV Review
Last night, I was pulling double duty when it came to sports. On my iPad, Money in the Bank was playing, and the Raptors top the Buck in a Game 3 double overtime thriller. With All Elite Wrestling debuting their product next Saturday with Double or Nothing, the WWE was on full display. Money in the Bank have been my favorite PPV ever since they made it one of their PPVs. For the second consecutive year, both the men and women had a ladder match. Seth Rollins defended the Universal Championship against A.J. Styles in a dream match. Kofi Kingston put up the WWE Championship against Kevin Owens. Becky Lynch…

Daddy’s Hangout WrestleMania 35 Review
WrestleMania 35 have come and gone! The weekend started with another amazing NXTTakeover and it was followed by the 2019 WWE Hall of Fame. First things first, WrestleMania was long, I mean really, really long. If you include the preshow, there was about seven hours of action and I’m exhausted. Instead of talking about what supposed to happen, we’re going to jump right into it. After Alexa Bliss introduced Hulk Hogan and they did their thing, Paul Heyman barged by both to head to the ring. Heyman said if Lesnar can’t be in the main event, he’s ready to get the match over now so Lesnar can go to Vegas.…

My 6 Favorite Moments from Raw Atlanta
As we all know, Raw invaded Atlanta and they had a huge show planned. After last week’s debacle where the crowd was dead for a damn good Raw, Atlanta had to do better.

There were a few legends that would be in attendance to honor the 16-time champ. Later on, it was announced that Roman Reigns would show up to give an update on his cancer treatment.

Daddys Hangout 2018 Evolution PPV Review
Welcome to the first ever all-Women PPV, Evolution. This was amazing moment to have this PPV because the ladies have put on some of the best matches in the WWE over the last few years. Some people online and even ex-WWE talent think this is a result of them doing the Crown Jewel PPV. Whether it’s true or not, let’s not take away from this moment. Was the PPV perfect? Of course not, but let’s remember this is the first of hopefully many. Evolution saw three championships defended. Ronda Rousey put up her Raw Women’s Championship Against Nikki Bella.

Daddy’s Hangout 2018 Money in the Bank PPV Review
It’s time for one of my favorite WWE PPVs and that’s Money In the Bank. Over the years, this PPV has produced some amazing moments. One of my favorite had to be C.M. Punk beating John Cena for the WWE title. For me, that’s one of those all-time great moments in WWE history. Unfortunately, Punk and the WWE isn’t on the best of terms. Enough of that, let’s jump right into the PPV. We had the men and women competing in the ladder match for the briefcase. A.J. Styles put the WWE title on the line against Shinsuke Nakamura once again. Pretty much all championships were defended except the United…
