Sky Sports Lock Up

The Lock Up crew are live in Toronto for a special in-depth analysis of WWE SummerSlam with every match under the microscope!

Only one title changed hands on the night but there were still no shortage of questions to be answered in Canada and among them were: Who will rise up to face Seth Rollins for his newly-reclaimed Universal title? Is The Fiend about to become the new Undertaker for the next generation of WWE fans? What next for the women’s champions on the brand? Could we see a run-in attack on Trish Stratus on this week’s Raw or SmackDown? And was the Toronto crowd really that bad?

For the answers to all of these questions and a peek inside the inner sanctum (to meet a very angry Triple H) this week’s episode is can’t miss material!

The Lock Up O.C. are reunited inside the inner sanctum for a deep dive into Sunday night’s big Box Office event, SummerSlam! Among the questions we attempt to answer include ‘Is Samoa Joe about to undergo a revolutionary new character change?’, ‘Has Rowan become the first person on the WWE roster to ‘let in’ The Fiend?’ and ‘Could we see Kevin Owens competing on the independent scene when the dust has settled at SummerSlam?’ Other topics discussed is the scary idea of Goldberg’s return leading to a rematch with The Undertaker, the incredible ‘cheat code’ match between Andrade and Rey Mysterio and it's determined that Randy Orton could be the most likely new champion on the PPV.

Does Brock Lesnar’s vicious assault of Seth Rollins indicate he may be making more regular appearances on Raw? Is Maria Kanellis’ treatment of her husband Mike simply not okay? And how big a deal is it that Andrade unmasked Rey Mysterio? These are some of the questions tackled this week, along with discussions of Trish Stratus returning for a singles match, The O.C. winning the Raw Tag Team Titles and even a wild tangent which sees TJ admit to staging NXT TakeOver-style matches in his living room.

The Lock Up crew are back with the Raw Reunion and a very strong episode of SmackDown placed under the microscope.

Is D-Generation X now being presented as the greatest faction in the history of professional wrestling? Will The Fiend unleash a barrage of absolute destruction on Finn Balor at SummerSlam? Would it be better to see Shawn Michaels face Dolph Ziggler of AJ Styles? And will we see the 2019 equivalent of Jack Tunney on WWE television next week to clarify an interesting (and perhaps overlooked) incident in the 24/7 championship division?

The Lock Up lads are back in the inner sanctum to take a long, hard look at Extreme Rules, a pay-per-view which has received widespread praise throughout the wrestling fan community and a 66% approval rating from Sky Sports WWE’s Twitter followers!

Does The Undertaker’s triumphant return mean he could be used in more matches now? Is Bayley on course to become the Bret Hart of the women’s division? Was it the right decision to bring back Brock Lesnar – and have him win the Universal title? And whose finisher would the team least like to take?! Hear the answers to all of these questions as the Lock Up crew are reunited in the studio!

The Lock Up crew return with an in-depth look at Sunday night’s Sky Sports Box Office event, Extreme Rules. On the docket for discussion are all 10 main-roster matches, in which seven WWE championships will be on the line. The team ponder whether The Undertaker will want to get back on track performance-wise after his difficult night in Saudi Arabia against Goldberg, if it is time to ‘press the button’ on Heavy Machinery and if Sasha Banks – or maybe someone else – will return to help Bayley even the odds against Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross. With a healthy dose of biscuit-related chat, a group Kevin Keegan impersonation when contemplating the prospect of a double title loss for Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch and an extremely wild piece of fantasy booking which would see Brock Lesnar become women’s champion this is truly a must-listen episode!

Settle down with a warm beverage and a comfortable chair as the Lock Up team chew the fat over the latest developments in the weird and wonderful world of sports entertainment. This week the Lock Up crew break down a week which saw Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff brought in by WWE as Executive Directors of Raw and SmackDown respectively. Was their influence felt as AJ Styles reformed The Club, Maria Kanellis informed her husband Mike that another baby Kanellis is on the way and Braun Strowman powered Bobby Lashley through an LED wall. There’s also the promise of extreme violence to come from Samoa Joe, the ongoing greatness of Kevin Owens and an explanation about the broadcast ‘issues’ of Kofi Kingston’s middle-finger salute in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

The Lock Up team return to the inner sanctum to break down Stomping Grounds in a full match-by-match analysis. They take a look at the women’s division and gauge how badly the effects of the absences of Ronda Rousey, Sasha Banks and Nia Jax are being felt, question whether Baron Corbin is the best heel in WWE today (and whether or not people just don’t ‘get’ the Lone Wolf) and there is some very much mixed reaction to the match between the New Day and Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn. Add in a conversation about whether or not Becky and Seth have drifted into ‘smug couple’ mode, The Undertaker’s Raw return, a new opponent for Aleister Black and the sheer genius of Otis and everything is in place for this week’s Lock Up fallout episode!

The Lock Up team are back in the studio and fill their boots as they look ahead to Stomping Grounds. Seven WWE titles are on the line on Sunday night and the guys break down every match on the card. The pair contemplate the superb build-up this week for the SmackDown women’s title match and Roman Reigns’ clash with Drew McIntyre with egomaniac Shane McMahon by his side. We also look at the ‘styles clash’ nature of the potentially show-stealing contest between Samoa Joe and Ricochet. There’s also a healthy discussion of the merits of Heavy Machinery’s Otis and random dishwasher-related chat about Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins.

Join the Lock Up team as they take an enormously deep dive into last Friday’s Super ShowDown showdown between The Undertaker and Goldberg, a match which some have described as the worst of the year. The boys break down every match on a card which can comfortably be described as unique as well as running the rule over the latest absences on Raw and SmackDown as the wild card rule continues to impact on booking.
