WWE Monday Night Raw Rundown

We are so close to the road to Wrestlemania! We are a little over a month away from the Royal Rumble and things are getting HOT! Our next big WWE program will be Monday Night Raw: One Year on Netflix and things could change in a big way. Let's not forget outside of that.. we do have an AEW PPV in a few weeks as well. We have a lot to talk about from Raw, so let's get into it! Kicking off: Gunther After his win over Cena in his final match.. things were up to 11 with this opening. I don't give a damn what anyone says.. this was amazing. You can hate Gunther all you like (or even Triple H) but that doesn't change that he is now one of the best in the business. I love this for him. I love the "I don't give a shit" attitude.. the arrogant vibe, and the shit eating smile. It's perfect and I can't wait to see where go with this next. I did see them teasing AJ Styles... which would be pretty damn good as well.  The Usos vs. New Day I don't like it. We...

AEW Dynamite (Wednesday June 12th)

We are only weeks away for Forbidden Door, coming up on June 30th! I don't know about you, but I am pretty pumped about this PPV and the card that has been building. Here is the run down from this past week and my opinion on how everything turned out.

 -The show starts off with one of my favorite Champs. Swerve Strickland and Price Nana came out to kick off Dynamite, thus setting up a promo about Forbidden Door. In the main event, it will be Swerve vs Will Osprey for the AEW Championship. However, the Young Bucks decided to come out and interrupt. It was then that the Bucks that announced that in Nashville, TN it will be Blood and Guts. Swerve was asked to be their 5th member. Things didn't go according to plan, and Swerve trash talked his way into an almost fight. The Acclaimed then came in for the save. 

Christopher Daniels made the overall save and announced everyone needed to leave the ring besides Jack Perry because his match with Dustin Rhodes was up next. This match was to enter the TNT ladder match at Forbidden Door. Now, I while I LOVED the match, especially after Dustin's promo on Collision.. we knew the winner already. 

-Winner: Jack Perry

I'm not all for squash matches, and this one was pretty bad. Rush had a match with a local talent.. in which set up an INSANE brawl with MJF. I'm not going to lie this feud for MJF and Rush is going to hit hard. After their major brawl around the arena it was announced that their match will be next Wednesday and will be commercial free. I have a feeling it's going to be a good one. 

The trios match is next... after one of THE best promo segment I have ever seen. Mark Brisco is a national treasure, let's just be honest. 

Mark Briscoe, Kyle O'Riley, and Orange Cassidy vs Kyle Fletcher, Roddy, and Takeshita

I thought this  match was pretty good. This is a rare one where I love both teams, and couldn't decide which I was going for in the end. It was pretty fast paced and hard hitting. In the end, Kyle Fletcher got the pin fall on Mark and the match ended. However, the fight didn't stop there. The beat down continued and Willow's music hit, assuming she came to save the day. After a few moments, she did not come out... it was Kris Statlander that threw Willow out of the tunnel after a beat down. 

The next match up was The Premier Athletes vs Samoa Joe and Hook
Can we just give them some titles already? I know, I know too soon but they are just so good together. I love the build up and the "teaching" that Joe is giving Hook. It comes natural and gives it a better outlook overall with the character. It's been building for a the last few weeks and Joe/Hook finally got their hands on the Premier Athletes.. the match was good and was an easy win for Joe/Hook.

Mercedes Moné vs Zeuxis were next up

I wasn't too sure about this match at first, only because Zeuix wasn't someone I am familiar with. Overall, it was a very good showcase. I am very glad it wasn't the feel of a squash match. It was a title shot at the TBS title and think it did both of the women good. I enjoyed it very much, and felt it set the tone for Forbidden Door. In the end Mercedes got the win!

Chris Jericho and the learning tree.
Just being honest, but I cannot stand this character overall. I won't lie, Chris can play some of the best and he does it just perfect. But this one.. just is annoying. 

Daniel Garcia vs Nick Comoroto

While I am a huge fan of DG, this match rubbed me the wrong way. I understand the idea of a squash match, and AEW has been really good about keeping those limited. However.. this one was not necessary, and made Nick look like a b**ch. The match lasted no longer than 3 minutes it seemed. 

Winner: Daniel Garcia

Will Ospreay vs Rey Fenix 

This match was very well put together. I enjoyed it very much, and thought it added that Fenix really sold during this match. With Swerve being out there during all of this, it added to the hype of Forbidden Door and gave a sense of what was to come. I thought this match was very quick (speed, not length) and gave a certain sense of "wow" factor. I'd love to see them in the ring together again. Will hit a Swerve Stomp and Hidden Blade to take the win over Rey. 

After the match, Swerve entered the ring and did not shake Will's hand. There was also some smack talk, and yelling. Swerve told Will he wasn't ready to hold both titles.. and Will snatched it away from Swerve, to put the title on his own shoulder. Things are for sure heating up, and I can't wait to see next Wednesdays Dynamite as we enter into Forbidden Door weekend.

Overall rating: 7/10

WWE Monday Night Raw Rundown

 I'll tell you what.. I guess that tweet wasn't lying about Monday Night Raw...IYKYK. We've got A LOT to talk about.. and a crash out is on the horizon.    -Kicking off Monday Night Raw: Liv Morgan Liv Morgan came to the ring with Dom to give a promo, explaining her actions last week with Nikki Bella. In this, she also called out Iyo Sky.. and she wants another title shot. Iyo came to the ring as well, and it all but seemed like this was a story ready to kick off.  -Ivy Nile vs. Stephanie Vaquer vs. Raquel Rodriguez vs. Asuka (Queen of the Ring) This match was SO much better than I thought it was going to be overall. I really had this match between two women, and that was Vaquer and Asuka. All women did wonderful, and work so well together. We did see Rhea come out and cost Raquel in return from Rhea's match. And in the end, it was Asuka that got the win! She will now face Alexa Bliss this Friday! That match.. should be very good. It will be interesting t...

WWE Monday Night Raw Rundown/Review

What a time, everyone. I have been going going going for the last week or so.. so much that I haven't blogged. I hate when I have to skip weeks, but to be honest... sometimes it is like that. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it! -Kicking off Raw: Rhea Ripley We love Mami.. and she is MAD. Rhea addresses the attack of Asuka from last week.. which of course resulted in Iyo to come out as well. It wasn't long until Asuka and Kairi made themselves known and a brawl was set. This time.. it was Iyo that was misted by Asuka. My guess is that we are going to see some tag team action much sooner than later. I enjoyed this very much overall.. and am pretty happy that we are having Rhea and Iyo set away from the title action. But the question is.. when it is all set and done, are we going to see Rhea or Iyo turn on one another in a shocking turn of events? -Intercontinental Championship: Dominik Mysterio vs. Rusev I won't lie.. I was a little shocked about this...

Summer Slam Night 1 AND Night 2 Results/Reaction/Review

Summer Slam has come and gone.. and BOY... did we have one hell of a time. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!  Night 1: -Roman Reigns and Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed This kicking off was pretty good in my opinion. While I do think the match wasn't one to blow your mind... it was still pretty dang good overall. In the end, we did see Roman and Jey pick up the win. This isn't what I thought would happen, but it is understandable moving forward (esp after watching Monday Night Raw). -Judgment Day (c) vs. Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair -Women's Tag Titles This match was pretty solid over all. All women did wonderful together and I enjoyed it! I feel like this match had so much on it in the first place, and there were so many people getting their hopes up for a Liv pop up. Sadly, that did not happen. We however.. did see Alexa and Charlotte pick up the win to win the tag titles! I am so happy for both women and hope they do this story ri...
