WWE Friday Night Smackdown Rundown/Review

I'm a little late, but here we go. We've got a lot to talk about.. so let's get into it! -Kicking off: Cody Rhodes We didn't get very much but was told by Nick Aldis that we are getting a No 1 Contenders match in which we will see Jacob Fatu vs Drew McIntyre. This is very interesting see that we didn't think Jacob was cleared. Cody did address his loss to Seth.. however now has his eyes set on the new fued that is brewing. This.. should be interesting to say the least.   -Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss vs. Sol Ruca and Zaria (for the Tag Team Titles) I loved this match! I LOVED seeing Sol Ruca and Zaria on the main roster.. and this match delivered overall. However in the end, it was Alexa and Charlotte picked up the win to retain their titles. If you haven't seen this match, please do.. it was worth it. I can't wait to see not only what Alexa and Charlotte will do next.. but what is next for Sol and Zaria.   -United States Championship Open Challenge: Sami...

AEW Wednesday Night Dynamite (June 26th Rundown)

 I'm back! And if we are being honest I did not think I would be able to write this only one day after my eye surgery. Let's just say that this go round was WAY easier than the last. Regardless, I am healing and on my way to seeing better with no problems. 

Yesterday was the FINAL Dynamite before Forbidden Door.. and it was AMAZING, so let's get into it!

-The show was opened with MJF coming out, and the crowd LOVED it. However it wasn't long before MJF was interrupted by non other than Daniel Garcia. I really enjoyed this promo, mainly because I felt it came so natural. There has seemed to be a little build over the last few weeks, and it has really pushed my interest. It seemed throughout the entire exchange it was kinda friendly, however you could for sure tell they weren't "friends". It honestly felt like it could go either way, at any moment. In the end, Max asked Danny if he wanted to have a match at All In (coming up in August), and before Danny could respond.. Will Ospreay came to the ring. Things went a little up from there when Will offered Danny a title shot next week. Of course, Daniel accepted. You could tell there was something there between MJF and Will.. does this start a war between the two? Are we setting things up for a hell of a match in the very near future? After all was said, MJF stormed to the back without saying anything. Oh... this is going to be so good. 

-Shingo Takagi, Titan, and Hiromu Takahashi (LIJ) vs Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, and Claudio

I am not very familiar with LIJ, so I didn't know what to expect overall with this match. I found it very good for the most part, but did not expect it to end like it did with there being a DQ. This seemed a bit out of character but I can understand not wanting to risk anything big especially a title match coming up. Naito (who is challenging Mox at Forbidden Door) came out to seemingly confront Mox which led to a brawl that ended up going off screen. I kinda felt this was lack luster leading up to such a match, but hopefully things will heat up.

Owen Hart Cup: Rey Fenix vs Jay White

I've said this before and I'll say it again.. I am not a fan of Jay White. I just don't like this while tag team/trios. I feel he could be better by himself. However, I'll admit he is on a pretty good hot streak. This match was pretty good. I loved quickness and hard hitting moves, I felt it really capitalized on the importance of this tournament. In the end, Jay White got a clean win and moves on to the next round. 

Storm, May and Mina Shirakawa vs Saraya, Jay and Cameron

I was pretty happy with this match, overall. I love that we are seeing more of Saraya and hope that she is on tv more often. Only time will tell! In the match, we did see a little push of where the ending might be going with Toni Storm and her match against Mina on Sunday. May seemed to not be able to make up her mind most of the time, which of course made it a bit more tense. Since they just added Anna Jay to the group, I wonder if things will pick up and there will be more feuds after Forbidden Door. I would love to see that trios move to other competition. In the end, Mina did get the pin for the win. It wasn't until after and all the ladies went to celebrate that things fell apart. Mina tried to hit Toni with a champagne bottle, however she missed and hit May on accident. Toni Storm stayed with May, while Mina was made to leave the ring by the officials. Hmm, things are for sure getting real for this match. I am excited to see how this will plan out.

 In the back, The Young Bucks did announce the wild card (for the Owen Hart tournament) will be someone of their choosing. This leads me to believe it could be Hangman Adam Page. It was said that his return could possibly be in early part of July, and it just so happens that match will be the 1st week of July.

Kyle O'Reilly vs Zack Sabre Jr.

I don't thing there are enough words for this match. I thought I was excited for Zack and Orange? Oh.. I still am, however this was a match I didn't think I needed. Both are known for their technical ability, and boy did they deliver. I really hope we are going to be seeing them again soon. It would be 100% a hell of a match. In the end, Sabre got the win. After the match, Orange came down to check on Kyle while Sabre and TMDK appeared to be ready to attack. However, in just the right time, Tomohiro Ishii came to the ring and stood tall next to Orange. Do you think we will see them tag soon? I hope so!

Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland vs Gates of Agony 

This match was truly a match of "can they work together". We also know that Gates of Agony are now bitter enemies of Swerve, as they turned on him after being a group together. I kinda new this was going to happen.. but Ospreay and Swerve worked very well together. That was... until they didn't. There was some miscommunication and things turned sour. While Swerve and Ospreay did take the win, we see things get down and dirty. After the match, Will snatched the world title out of Swerve's hand. Swerve kicked Will's knee out from under him before knocking him out with a swift kick to the face.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I thought this was a VERY good way to head towards Forbidden Door. There is so much happening and I feel the card is pretty stacked. The last I checked there are at least (I THINK) 12 matches? This includes the matches announced for Zero Hour on YouTube. I feel we might just might get some surprises.. Only time will tell. 

What are YOUR thoughts on Forbidden Door?'

I'll be LIVE tweeting Sunday so be sure to follow along and let's chat!

xoxo,

WWE Friday Night Smackdown Rundown/Review

It's the Smackdown after Summer Slam.. and boy do we have a rundown for you. I don't know all what I expected from this, but it was a ride.. let me tell you.  **ALSO.. MAJOR THANK YOU to my 1,000 followers on Twitter! I made a post talking about how I really wanted to get 1k before the end of the month and y'all SHOWED OUT in a big way! It's so nice to have everyone, and I hope we can have a blast together!  Let's get into it! -Kicking off Smackdown: John Cena I really enjoyed this overall, but what I didn't like... was Logan Paul coming out. This wasn't on my "I want this match" list.. but it is what it is, I guess. It looks like we are getting the two at Clash in Paris later on in the month. We did see Drew McIntyre and Cody come into play, and the fact we are also getting a tag match later in the night.  -Motor City Machine Guns vs. JC Mateo and Talla Tonga Not happy. Solo made it clear that MFT was coming after the tag titles, which... we know ...

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...

WWE Evolution 2 Rundown/Blog

Okay, I didn't expect this PLE to go this hard.. but here we are. I was SHOCKED out of my mind with this. The build up might have not been good, but the show... they did that shit.  -Kicking Off:  Becky Lynch vs. Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria This was a whole lot better than I thought it was going to turn out. While I did want to see Bayley pull off a win, I did have to remember that Summer Slam is just under 3 weeks away. All three women did so damn good, but it was Becky that retained. So does this mean we could infact see Bayley and Becky once again face off at SS next month? Because that would be the best place for Bayley to win. -Jacy Jayne vs. Jordynne Grace I haven't been very familiar with Jacy Jayne, but I liked her! She is pretty good overall. There were some issues here and there within the match but they did their best to recover. However.. as expected we saw Blake Monroe turn on Jordynne Grace to cost her the match by hitting her with the title. It seems we are getting...
