We are back and it is time to talk about the second competition and it is going to be a physical challenge with the power of the punch. First, we are going to hear from the rookies. They have a minute to talk.
-Naomi says that she needs to vent. There is someone who has been working on her last nerve. That person is Michael Cole. She is so sick of his negativity and bad attitude.

She says that Vickie has so much experience and she says that Vickie is like a fine wine that she gets better with age. Kaitlyn says that she got together with Dolph and got her a gift. She was told that her favorite perfume is Ben Gay. She calls Vickie a minty, cheesy, fine wine.
-Aksana is next and she talk about America. Aksana says she hope someone from immigration watching. She think America is most beautiful country. Without America there be no WWE Universe. Without WWE there be no Goldust or Aksana. Without WWE there wouldn’t be such beautiful people in the crowd. She thank Christopher Columbus for discovering America.

She says that they can work together for the next three weeks and let bygones be bygones. Vickie tells Kaitlyn to stay away from Dolph for the next three weeks or elimination won’t be the worst thing for Kaitlyn.
It is now time to take a look at Knucklehead.
We move to the stage and it is time for the second challenge with the Power of the Punch Challenge.

Goldust gets down on one knee and proposes to her. Aksana says yes and Michael Cole celebrates as if he is going to be the matron of honor.
Enzo’s Thoughts
Wow where do I start.
So Goldust and Aksana are getting married? I am afraid to know how the ceremony is going to go.
I really hope I don’t have to recap a wedding reception next week. All I can see is this leading to a match on RAW : Ted Dibiase Jr. and Maryse vs Goldust and Aksana … maybe the Million dollar belt will be on the line who knows.
Now for tonight’s show. It was an ok show I mean the first competition I found pointless and I see no reason why they would make AJ dominate like that. The second competition was ok other then the fact that Michael Cole was all happy cause his punch was stronger then a woman’s. Poor Michael ..what are they doing with this guy? Like really? As the Miz would say REALLY? REALLY? I would be happy if it turns out he is the Mystery GM on RAW.
The 2 matches were entertaining back and forth but sometimes I can see how Mike Tedesco and his girlfriend would go crazy watching this show, but I find it’s been improving.
I hope you all enjoyed my recap if you have any questions or comments or suggestions you can reach me at:
