Updated the OP with the most current (in Universe) Champions & Standings, along with some of NXT 2. On my Instagram, which is in the OP, I have all shows posted up until Raw 4. I just got the past two weeks (in Universe) of shows uploaded on there, and I'll work on adding 'em to this thread as well. -NXT 2 -Backlash -Raw 3 -AEW 3 -Collision 3 -SmackDown 3 -NXT 3 The idea of keeping an Instagram account to keep track of my 2K Universe was a brilliant idea! I love the process of editing the photos and videos, trying to make them "TV-like", and also giving that weekly score-keeping story-telling. Some of my favorite "things" or "unique selling points" for each brand/show: -Raw is (unintentionally, but coincidentally) home of NXT Champions. -I use NXT as a weekly "SmackDown vs. Raw" show, essentially. I aim to only put "brand vs. brand" matches on NXT, that give you matches you wouldn't get to otherwise see on Raw or SmackDown. NXT is also a good way to further storylines that didn't get to be furthered on that week's Raw/SmackDown. Not only do you have weekly ranking shifts for Raw/SmackDown rosters respectively, but NXT is in a way a rankings "fine-tuner". Example being; "Raw's #1 Contender lost his match on Raw, but just beat the SmackDown US Champion on NXT, so he has that momentum going into the next Raw". -NXT (unintentionally, but coincidentally) became home of Women's Tag Team Titles. The Champions and teams are "on" Raw and SmackDown, but NXT is "THE PLACE" where Women's Tag Teams happen! -SmackDown (primarily) is home to the UK Championship. Like the NXT Titles; the UK Title can be held and defended on either brand/show, but Sheamus (in Universe) is the one who "brought back the European Championship, in today's modern wrestling world". Sheamus dubbed his title reign as the "Everyday UK Tour". So far, his reign has ran through Pete Dunne, Claudio Castagnoli, Intercontinental Champion; Gunther, with Finn Balor, then Drew McIntyre as his next opponents. I've actually been pretty picky with how the European wrestlers get matched up/go over. Drew, Sheamus, and Gunther are the current "Big 3", but I'm slowly building for Finn, Ridge Holland, and Pete Dunne for the "next gen Big 3" -AEW is home to E-C-W! I felt AEW is the perfect place to have ECW running in the background; All EXTREME Wrestling, if you will. Bron Breakker is the current Champion, after (in Universe) defeating then-Champion; Kane in two fights, one being a Steel Cage Match where he won the Title. Notable "top names" in AECW are ECW Original; RVD, the Big Red Monster; Kane, and the walking nightmare himself; the Boogeyman! -I haven't "taped" it yet, but one story I'm pretty excited for is Lita being the first female to "cross the barrier", and show up "unannounced" on AEW, while being a SmackDown wrestler. . Even with that bit spoiled, I won't say how, when, or why she will show up, but the Women's Divisions across all 3 brands will be shaken up for sure. -I've also gone through and set the PPVs for the rest of the year, on both the WWE & AEW sides. >Notable PPV are: May- Double or Nothing (AEW's MITB Match). July- MITB (WWE)
Forbidden Door (AEW/WWE Crossover; think a WWE vs. AEW Survivor Series PPV)
August- Summerslam is 2008-era, back when the S was all green and slithery; the good ole days.
Sept- Night of Champions (WWE) is back; again, 2008-era.
Oct- Hell In A Cell returns the good ole fashioned way; when Cell matches were for heated rivalries, and not because "we need one for the show". (2008/2009-era again)
Nov- Survivor Series (WWE/AEW PT. 2) Forbidden Door/Survivor Series are the two time's a year when WWE vs. AEW happens. Think "Home/Away games" for these two.
Dec- New Year's Revolution (AEW) This will essentially be AEW's ECW-heavy PPV, including an Elimination Chamber Match, and other Extreme Stipulations.
Armageddon (WWE) I found this stage on Community Creations, and couldn't NOT get it. Again, core memory of mine is seeing Jeff Hardy stand on top of this sick Armageddon stage in 2008 after winning the WWE Title. I brought this back as WWE's December show.
I'll probably add a "Tribute To The Troops" show in during November as well. I miss seeing those, and I'm prior-Army, so I'd like to throw those in there somewhere. |
