Kevin Harvick Gets First Win Of The Season At Sonoma

Kevin Harvick picks up his 36th career win at Sonoma Raceway, and his first of the season. The Toyota SafeMart 350, which consisted of 110 laps around the Sonoma road course, had Harvick completing the race in first, with Clint Bowyer 8 seconds behind. Section 1 of the race, which was 25 laps, was won by Martin Truex Jr. The second section of the race was won by Jimmie Johnson. The race also included 13 lead changes with 10 different leaders, and 6 cautions.

In victory lane after the race, Harvick said that the win was “worth the wait” after coming up short a few times this season. This was his first win of the season, his best placings before being third at the Food City 500 and also third at the more recent Go Bowling 400.

The next broadcast will be from Daytona International Speedway for the Coke Zero 400. NBC and NBCSN will carry the rest of the season, as FS1 and FOX wrapped up their coverage this week.

Bellator To Make New York Debut Tonight

MMA promotion Bellator is scheduled to make it’s New York debut tonight in the World’s Most Famous Arena, Madison Square Garden. Wanderlei Silva faces Chael Sonnen in a co-main event of the evening, with quite the amount of animosity between them already brewing. During the press conference on Thursday Silva was asked if the “impulse” for him will be to shake Chael’s hand after the fight, which he responded to with a solid “No.”.

Alongside that main event is 12 other matches that will be broadcasted on many platforms. The prelims, which start at 6PM can be watched online for free on the official Bellator website. The prelims include a Welterweight fight between Haim Gozali (7-3-0) and Ryan Couture (10-5-0), a Lightweight fight between Bradley Desir (9-5-0) and Nate Grebb (3-1-0), two Catchweight bouts between Sergio Da Silva (6-8-0) and Matt Rizzo (9-2-0), and Hugh McKenna (0-1-0) versus John Salgado (4-7-1), and also a Welterweight bout between Anthony Giacchina (1-1-0) and Jerome Mickle (2-1-0).

At 8PM EST the main card for Bellator 180 can be viewed on Spike TV. Now keep in mind, the Bellator 180 main card is different from the Bellator NYC PPV. That is afterwards. Anyways, the card for Bellator 180 is 4 fights. Heather Hardy (0-0-0) faces Alice Yauger (4-5-0) in the Flyweight division, in the Welterweight Division Neiman Gracie (5-0-0) faces Dave Marfone (5-2-0), in the Featherweight Division James Gallagher (6-0-0) goes up against Chinzo Machida (5-2-0), and in the main event of Bellator 180, Phil Davis (17-3-0) defends his Light Heavyweight Championship against Ryan Bader (22-5-0).

At 10PM EST the main card kicks off. You can watch the main card via PPV. The complete list of ways to order can be found here.  The main card is 5 fights. Aaron Pico (0-0-0) faces Zach Freeman (8-2-0) in a Lightweight match to kick off the main card. Michael Chandler (16-3) defends his Lightweight World Title in the second contest of the main card against Brent Primus (7-0). Our third and final title match of the night is Douglas Lima (28-6) defending the Welterweight Title against Lorenz Larkin (18-5). The first of two co-main event’s is Fedor Emelianenko (34-4-0) facing Matt Mitrione (11-5-0) in a Heavyweight Bout. The second main event is Chael Sonnen (28-15) facing Wanderlei Silva (35-12) in a Light Heavyweight Match.

“Only the best promoter in the business, Scott Coker could put together such an incredible blockbuster card, with something for everyone” said Kevin Kay, President of Spike TV and mediator of the press conference on Thursday.

This is Bellator’s first event in the state of New York due to a 20 year long ban of MMA that was lifted just last year in March. UFC has already held many events in New York since the ban was lifted, with UFC 205 being the most notable one. This Bellator event has been proclaimed by many as the biggest one in brand history so far.

8:00PM: This episode of Smackdown Live starts with a recap of what happened on the last episode, with the five-way elimination match happening, to decide the #1 contender to face Naomi. Everyone brawled like crazy before the match started, so Shane McMahon came out and said they would all fight again in a Women’s Money In The Bank match at the next PPV instead.

8:02PM: We go to the live feed where Shane McMahon is heading to the ring. The ring has all five women that will be in the MiTB match, and a table. Shane quickly greets Rochester when he gets on the mic. He introduces us to the participants of the ladder match. Those participants are Tamina, Natalya, Carmella (with James Ellesworth), Becky Lynch, and Charlotte. Shane says that he has a reveal. He gets a drumroll as a briefcase is lowered to the ring. He reveals a shiny white Money In The Bank Briefcase. After Shane is done explaining the match, everyone in the match takes a turn cutting a promo. Naomi comes to the ring with her own entrance after all of this. She talks for a second, but gets interrupted by Lana’s entrance. Wearing a sparkling blue dress, Lana walks down to the ring where the rest of the division is standing.

Lana is told by Shane that now is not the time for Lana. Lana claims that whatever works for her will work for Shane. Naomi finds this very funny. Lana then says that she could beat Naomi. Shane intervenes once again and says that Lana has to deserve a title match. Lana storms out of the ring angry. Shane says that we have a 6 woman tag match next.

8:00PM: This episode of Monday Night RAW starts with a photo and audio recap of the main event of last nights’ PPV. The main event was Samoa Joe becoming the #1 contender for the Universal Championship, beating 4 other guys. After a quick recap, we get the usual RAW intro video and pyro. This week’s episode of RAW is live from Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre.

8:04PM: Bray Wyatt comes to the ring to talk. He says that last night was the “beginning of the end”. He had a chance to “slay the beast”, but failed. He says that he is still alive, and here. He calls all of the people in the match last night “guilty”. When Roman Reigns is named off, the crowd gives him a very loud boo. He says they must all be punished, and he will start with Roman Reigns tonight. He attempts to continue his promo, but Roman Reign’s music cuts him off. Our first match of the night is Bray Wyatt versus Roman Reigns.

8:09PM: Bray Wyatt vs Roman Reigns

Wyatt immediately tries for Sister Abgail in this match. Roman reverses out of it and sends Bray out of the ring. We go to a commercial break.

He puts Roman in a headlock, which he fights out of eventually. Bray Wyatt goes off the ropes but Roman picks him up. Wyatt fights out of it then DDT’s Roman. He goes for another pin but Roman kicks out at two. Bray puts Roman into a chinlock, but Roman of course fights out. He punches Bray which sends him into the corner. Bray climbs to the second rope. Roman picks him up from the second turnbuckle and hits him with a Samoan Drop. Roman pins Bray and gets a two count. Moments later Bray gets up and sends Roman shoulder first into a post. This sends Roman to the outside. Bray does a Senton to Roman outside the ring. We go to break as Bray is resting alongside a hurt Roman.

Back from another commercial break, Bray has another headlock on Roman Reigns. He lets go of the headlock, then sends Roman into the ropes. When Bray charges towards Roman, Roman dodges and pushes him outside the ring. When Wyatt gets back in the ring, Roman does some kicks and punches. After a few more moves, he goes for another pin. Moments later Roman tries for a Superman Punch but Bray reverses it into a Uranagi (might have messed the spelling up on that). Bray then sets Roman up on the top rope. Roman fights out of whatever Bray was setting up for and does a Powerbomb instead. He unsuccessfully pins Bray once again. Roman calls for the Superman Punch. Braun reverses it the first time, but on second attempt Roman succeeds. Bray gets pinned and kicks out again. Roman goes to the corner of the ring again and sets up for a spear. When he tries to do so, Bray escapes to outside the ring. Reigns goes outside the ring too and hits Bray with a Drive By. Bray walks off the pain, then hits Roman with a nasty clothesline. Both guys get in the ring just barely in time. Both of them get back on their feet. Bray tries for a Sister Abgail but Roman reverses it into a roll-up. Bray escapes, but Roman follows up with a Superman Punch and Spear. He goes for the pin and finally succeeds.

Bliss is immediately offended that Kurt didn’t congratulate her on her victory last night. Alexa Bliss says that she wants to do a “Alexa Bliss, this is my life” segment tonight. Kurt says he thinks it is a terrible idea, saying that last week’s segment was one of the worst in history. Kurt says that he has an idea for her, that she will face Nia Jax for the championship tonight. This is because Alexa promised Nia a title match a few weeks ago. Anyways, that’s the segment.

8:48PM: Elias Samson is in the ring to sing a song. He makes fun of Wilkes-Barre in the song. As the song is nearing it’s end, Dean Ambrose’s music cuts it off. Elias is visibly annoyed because of the interruption. Dean attacks Elias, throwing him outside the ring. He throws Elias over the barricade, then gets back in the ring and grabs a mic. Dean Ambrose calls out the Miz, demanding a rematch. We now see a feed of The Miz backstage saying that he will be celebrating his new championship reign tonight instead.

8:58PM: Samoa Joe is in the ring with a mic. He says that he wants everything that Brock has, and he will take it from him. He claims that he will take the Universal Championship from Brock Lesnar. Paul Heyman, the representative of Brock Lesnar, comes out and confronts Joe. Paul says that if Brock faces Samoa Joe, Brock will definitely get a piece taken out of him by Joe. Heyman tries to walk away after saying that if he wants Brock, he gets him. Samoa Joe holds onto Heyman and talks to him in a corner of a ring. He then puts him in a Cohena Clutch to send a message to Brock.

9:15PM: Backstage, Kurt Angle is very angry at Samoa Joe. Joe says that he destroys anyone who is in his way. He then asks Kurt if he is in his way. Seth Rollins walks into the scene to defend Kurt Angle. Seth says that he wants to fight Joe, so Kurt sets the match up. That match will happen later tonight, I’m guessing maybe the main event.

When questioned by Cole about what he talked to Kurt about, he ignores the question and instead talks about the match that is about to happen.

9:57PM: Maryse introduces The Miz for his Championship celebration. The Miz is celebrating in a ring that includes balloons with his name spelt out, a table, and a bear holding a sign that says “CONGRADULATIONS!”. The Miz proposes a toast to everyone at the event and at home. Miz says he really appreciates the bear. Maryse says she did not order the bear. Miz attacks the bear then Skull Crushing Finale’s it. He then unmasks the bear, who he claims is Dean Ambrose. It is not Dean Ambrose, so he throws the guy out of the ring.

Up next, a big box is wheeled down to the ring. Miz is pretty sure that this box has Dean Ambrose in it. Miz takes a chair and attacks the box. Maryse tells him to stop while he is attacking, because it was actually a grandfather clock that she had gifted him. Maryse gets very angry and storms off because The Miz ruined her gift. The Miz also gets very angry and blames this whole situation on Dean Ambrose. He calls out Ambrose, who ends up being the cameraman who is in the ring. Miz turns around and takes a Dirty Deeds from Ambrose. Pretty rough celebration for Miz.

10:13PM: Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson vs Enzo Amore and Mystery Partner

It is time to find out who Enzo’s mystery partner is. It is the Big Show. When his music hits, Gallows and Anderson look concerned. When Big Show gets to the ring, Enzo starts joking around with Big Show, but he isn’t having any of it. All of the sudden though, Big Show “loosens up”, and does the SAWFT chant.

Karl Anderson starts against Enzo Amore in this match. Big Show gets tagged in pretty quickly and takes on both the guys. He shoulder tackles Anderson then Chokeslams him.

10:05PM: Bray Wyatt vs Seth Rollins vs Samoa Joe vs Finn Balor vs Roman Reigns (Universal Championship #1 Contender Match)

It is now time for our main event of the evening, a fatal-five way to determine the next Universal Championship #1 Contender. Everyone starts fighting except Roman at the start. Roman eventually starts fighting Balor. He blocks a kick from Balor and he exits the ring. Seth comes in the ring to square off with Roman, but out of nowhere comes Joe and Wyatt to beat up Roman. Moments later Balor does a dive to the outside onto everyone else. After the dive Roman drives Balor into a barricade. The action continues outside the ring for many more minutes. Bray Wyatt DDT’s Seth Rollins onto steel steps. Back in the ring, Finn Balor is fighting Samoa Joe. Finn hits him with a double stomp, but Wyatt then runs in the ring with a steel chair.

Skipping ahead a little, Rollins hits a top rope dive onto Bray for a kickout. Later on Finn Balor sets Bray Wyatt up on a commentator table, but Samoa Joe got rid of him by putting him in a Cohena Clutch. As the submission is still going on, Roman spears all of them through the barricade. After that, Seth Rollins climbs to the top rope then Frogsplashes Bray. Roman, who has a bloodied lip gets back in the ring and faces off with Seth. During their exchange a Superman Punch got reversed into a rollup then a kick. Seth then climbs to the top rope and lands a frogsplash. He gets a two count from that move.

Bray gets back in the ring. He tries for Sister Abgail but it gets reversed into a Spear by Reigns. Seth hits Reigns with a buckle bomb, but Reigns responds with a Superman Punch. Finn is back in the ring, and gets hit with a Superman Punch. Finn lands a Swingblade, then hits a Coux De Gras. He goes for a pin, but Samoa Joe drags him out of the way and puts him in a Cohena Clutch. Balor passes out, and the ref ends the match.
