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 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 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...
