Another week means more WWE Network additions are here! Like every week, we had several items added to the video on demand library, while we also had some original content. But was it enough?

It should be noted that there were a few more uploads aside from what you will see before. As always, we had both NXT and Superstars, which were reviewed elsewhere on the site. Additionally, we had Monday Night RAW episodes from 2004 and 2005 begin to make their way to the service. But what else was added? And how was it? Let’s take a look:

RAW Pre-Show

This week’s episode of the RAW Pre-Show didn’t have some really fun interview and in that sense, it wasn’t very notable. In fact, the show lacks long term appeal. However, this show did a ton to hype up RAW by revealing numerous matches for the event that followed.

However as usual, the chemistry was on point. I felt like while Booker T has brought more legitimacy, star power, and credibility to the panel he did sort of hurt the chemistry the trio of Scott Stanford, Corey Graves, and David Otung had. However as time goes on it is improving and his interactions with the others is pretty entertaining. Good enough edition.

Edge and Christian Show

We are nearing the end. The second to last episode of the Edge and Christian Show aired, being titled “Feelin’ So Scratchy”. The theme of the show varied, but we did get a three part expose on Bobby Resnick, a second generation bell ringing Superstar who got hooked on scratch tickets. Yeah, ridiculous and great.

As always, the show has a ton of dumb humor and ridiculousness with plenty of insider and obscure references. This included someone in the “crowd” with a Jay Lethal shirt and “Vince McMahon” referencing that the indy star will be signed in three months before being buried. Just ridiculous insider nods and total goofiness makes this show fun. I’m disappointed that the next episode is the finale.

Camp WWE

Camp WWE is back with its second episode and I definitely preferred it to the first episode. While it still won’t be for everyone, the show delivered and I thought it had a lot of laughs. Sure, the adult humor kind of fits the same idea of a Family Guy or Deadpool, where it is “for adults” but that essentially means dumb humor for teenagers, but I think it works nonetheless.

The story for this episode was The Rock at Camp WWE as Vince McMahon’s star and prized camper. He ends up losing his eyebrow, and Vince is furious and attempts to find out who did it, while Ric Flair tries to cheer up Rock. It is absurd, but a lot of fun. There are definitely worse ways to spend time than giving this a shot. As always, though, viewer discretion is certainly advised.

Table For 3

Table For 3 is just fantastic. Every single episode offers something of value to me. Be it an old school trio or a modern day trio. A trio with an obvious theme or a more random one. It doesn’t matter. Every single episode, in my eyes, has delivered to some degree.

And this week’s delivered once again. This time the trio includes the legendary Pat Patterson, Hillbilly Jim, and Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat discussing Legends House, their careers, and even an interesting bit on Steamboat wanting to turn heel. I can’t recommend these enough, and this one was really, really good. Watch it.

The KLIQ Rules

Beyond The Ring was back this week for the second time in nearly a year. And the documentary it offered was both fairly recent and quite good. The KLIQ Rules was released last year after Kevin Nash was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and we saw part of it during Kliq Week. Still, the material we have here was a ton of fun.

Having all five members of the Kliq along with numerous guys who were there with them was quite interesting. And it wasn’t all praise by any stretch. We had Bret Hart and Shane Douglas both running the group down, while others discussed both their positives and negatives. At only about an hour long, I definitely say check this out as it was a lot of fun. The best part of the entire thing may have been how Jim Ross described them. Very apt. Check this out too.

This Week in WWE

This Week in WWE isn’t groundbreaking. You won’t see dramatic changes in presentation or subject. It is what it is. But it does still offer a lot of good. For those without cable, it can do a lot in terms of catching you up on what is happening in the company. Additionally, it is great for children who might not be able to follow the longer shows that air later. At worst, it makes for some decent background noise.

Main Event

Main Event aired on April 19th of this year and it was the 186th episode of the series. This was Main Event from London, which means the crowd was plenty loud for the event but the actual card isn’t very strong. In fact, it is one of the weaker episodes. Still, it may be worth checking out for some decent ‘rasslin.

Match List

Apollo Crews vs. Curtis Axel

Alicia Fox vs. Summer Rae

Kane and Big Show vs. The Wyatt Family (Erick Rowan and Braun Strowman)

RAW

The RAW after Wrestlemania is always a big one, and this year’s was no different. It actually felt like WWE hit the reset buttons in a lot of ways. It aired on April 4th and it was the 1193rd episode of the show. Shane McMahon was put in charge despite the Wrestlemania stipulation, and multiple people debuted. I can’t recommend this episode enough.

Match List

WWE Tag Team Championship: The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E with Xavier Woods) vs. The League of Nations (Sheamus and King Barrett with Alberto Del Rio and Rusev)

Summer Rae vs. Sasha Banks

Apollo Crews vs Tyler Breeze

Baron Corbin vs. Dolph Ziggler

Intercontinental Championship: Zack Ryder vs. The Miz

Tables: The Dudleys (Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley) vs. The Usos (Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso)

Number One Contender: Cesaro vs. Kevin Owens vs. AJ Styles vs. Chris Jericho

Smackdown

Smackdown 868 from April 7th of this year was the first Smackdown after Wrestlemania and we now have a new number one contender. I won’t spoil who it is, but let’s just say things are definitely shaken up. Smackdown has been a very strong show since Wrestlemania, and really since the year started, and this continued that trend with some really good matches and new talent. Check this out.

Match List

The Vaudevillains (Simon Gotch and Aiden English) vs. The Lucha Dragons (Kalisto and Sin Cara)

Summer Rae vs. Natalya

Intercontinental Championship: The Miz (with Maryse) vs. Zack Ryder

Apollo Crews vs. Curtis Axel (with The Social Outcasts, Bo Dallas, Heath Slater, and Adam Rose)

Tyler Breeze vs. Dean Ambrose

Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens vs. Cesaro and AJ Styles

Closing Thoughts

How can you complain? Sure, when it comes to original content we aren’t in the golden age we started off with when we had several hour long programs per week, but three half an hour programs and Beyond The Ring? That is a stacked lineup by modern standards.

Of course, not every program will be something someone might enjoy, but thanks to the different nature of the programs, someone should find something of interest. Whether it is legends talking on Table For 3, an adult animated series, mindless comedy on the Edge and Christian Show, a Kliq documentary, or NXT, the service offered quite a nice variety in the last week.
