  • Apron Bumps Ep. 20: NXT Takeover 31 Review

    Me and Nozid review the very best show WWE has produced during the pandemic era. NXT Takeover 31 had great matches throughout including a hell of an opener of Damian Priest defending the North American title against Johnny Gargano, the first Takeover Cruiserweight Championship match between Santos Escobar and Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, a fun Women's Championship bout featuring Io Shirai defending against Candice Lerae, and a potential NXT match of the year main event pitting NXT Champion Finn Balor against Kyle O'Reilly.


    Easily the best Takeover show since Portland, and a must see show for any wrestling fans who have not seen it. Two thumbs up show in every sense of the description!

  • Apron Bumps Ep. 19: NXT Takeover 31 Predictions

    For the first time in Apron Bump's brief history I will be going solo for the "NXT Takeover 31 Predictions" podcast.  A Takeover show that was kind of put together at the last minute with little build, stills has a card that looks incredible from an in ring quality point of view. Getting his first shot at as a singles competitor Kyle O'Reilly will challenge Finn Balor for the NXT Championship in the main event. In a match that very well could end up being NXT's best of the year!


    Also on the card, Io Shirai will defend the NXT Women's Championship against Candice LeRae. These ladies have magical chemistry together and should deliver something very special yet again. Damien Priest will also have his first Takeover title defense of the NXT North American Championship as he defends against Johnny Gargano.

    The undercard also features two Takeover debuts: the NXT Cruiserweight Championship being defended for the first time at such an event, as Santos Escobar defends against Isaiah "Swerve" Scott. And Kushida makes his Takeover debut in the bright lights against the Velveteen Dream.

  • Apron Bumps Ep. 18: All Out (2020) Predictions

    Myself and Mr. Brandon Moyes predict the results of tomorrow night's All Out event. The third quarter pay-per-view from All Elite Wrestling.


    A stacked card that features an interesting main event pitting challenger MJF against world champion Jon Moxley, Chris Jericho vs Orange Cassidy, in Mimosa Mayhem match, FTR getting a tag title match against Kenny Omega and Hangman Page, plus so much more on the undercard!

    The undercard features a few compelling tag team matches, the second Casino Battle Royale that will determine the next contender to AEW World Championship, and Hikaru Shida defending her AEW Women's title against NWA Women's Champion: Thunder Rosa.

  • Apron Bumps Ep. 17: SummerSlam (2020) Review

    Me and Nozid give me out thoughts on the biggest party of the summer. The first actual WWE pay-per-view event to feature the new Thunderdome venue came off very well for a first major show to use it. Bringing in a new atmosphere which was sorely needed to improve WWE programming  during these trying times.


    The show featured two very good women's title matches with Asuka challenging for both belts, a great WWE title defence that pitted Drew McIntyre against Randy Orton, the debut of Rey Mysterio's son Dominik in a Street Fight against Seth Rollins, and much more!

    Give this a listen to hear our full analysis on this past Sunday's PPV event!

  • Apron Bumps Ep. 16: NXT Takeover: XXX Review

    Me and Nozid go over this past weekend's Takeover XXX show. A very good-to-great show that featured a very technical opener, a wild ladder match for the vacant NXT North American Championship, perhaps the best celebrity match in WWE history, a very good women's championship bout and hoss fight in the main event for the NXT Championship.


    It may not have been to the level that  was Takeover: Portland, but was certainly a better show than Takeover: In Your House. While the main event might have been weak compared to the build and hype. Two great matches and solid wrestling throughout makes this a show you should find the time to see!

  • Apron Bumps Ep. 15: SummerSlam (2020) Predictions

    Myself, Nozid, and Mr. Brandon Moyes give our predictions for tomorrow night's SummerSlam pay-per-view. It's finally time for the biggest party of the summer. And with it comes a decent looking match card. Drew McIntyre defends the WWE Championship against Randy Orton while Braun Strowman defends the Universal title against The Fiend.


    Asuka has an opportunity to leave as a double champion if she can defeat both Bayley and Sasha Banks for their women's championships. Dominik Mysterio will take on Seth Rollins in a street fight while making his WWE debut in the process. And lastly Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose look to have a big blow off match to their quality  feud.

    What will the group known as Retribution do next? I suppose we all find out tomorrow night!

  • Apron Bumps Ep. 14: NXT Takeover: XXX Predictions

    Myself, Nozid, and Mr. Brandon Moyes go over tomorrow night's Takeover show and give our predictions for the exciting event!


    In an interesting card that features Pat McAfee in his debut WWE match against Adam Cole,  a five man ladder match will determine the next NXT North American Champion, Io Shirai has her first Takeover title defense of the NXT Women's Championship against Dakota Kai, and Keith Lee defends the NXT Championship in a battle of dominance against Karrion Kross.

    Another stacked show taking place over SummerSlam weekend. Could be another home run from Triple H and company!

  • Apron Bumps Ep. 13: NXT Takeover: In Your House Review

    The Apron Bumps Krew review one last show before Gabe Nozid goes on hiatus for military training. We go through this past Sunday's Takeover: In Your House. An odd Takeover show but with glimmers of greatness and the horrible. Solid women's tag team opener, Balor vs. Priest and Lee vs. Gargano were very good, and the women's triple threat main event was great!


    A bit of stinker cinematic match between Adam Cole and Velveteen Dream in a Backlot Brawl for the NXT title, but still a good show overall but certainly the weakest Takeover in years.

  • Apron Bumps Ep. 12: NXT Takeover: In Your House Predictions

    Myself, Nozid and Mr. Brandon Moyes go over this Sunday's Takeover and give our predictions for all six matches scheduled for the event!


    In another stellar looking card; Keith Lee defends the NXT North American Championship against Johnny Gargano, Karrion Kross makes his Takeover debut against Tommasso Ciampa, and Charlotte Flair defends the NXT Women's Championship in a Triple Threat Match against both Rhea Ripley and Io Shirai. While what we assume will be the main event; Adam Cole defends the NXT Champioship in a Backlot Brawl against Velveteen Dream, in Dream's last chance against Cole's title.

    A stacked show that is a play on words while also recognizing WWE's past. We had a decently long Takeover drought due to the pandemic, but now we have a hell of a show to look forward too!

  • Apron Bumps Ep. 11: AEW Double or Nothing (2020) Review

    Me and Nozid go over a hell of a pay-per-view event by All Elite Wrestling. A solid card of action that included a show stealing performance by both Jungle Boy and MJF, as well as the pro wrestling wackiness that was the Stadium Stampede match in the main event. The card over delivered with a contender for show of the year 2020 even without a proper crowd in attendance.  The under and upper cards also featured a ton of memorable stuff including:  a crazy ladder match for future world title contention, the debut of TNT Championship, an absolute war for the Women's title, and a fantastic brawl for the AEW World Championship. A hell of a show that will remain memorable for a long time!
