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 (July 15th) Rundown

It's time to talk about Monday Night Raw, and boy do we have a good one! We have a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!

The show kicked off with Rhea Ripley making her way to the ring (I LOVED this shot). She was very warmly welcomed and it felt so good to see her back. It wasn't long before Dom came along with his tail between his legs. I loved they did a throw back, Dom coming out with a single rose really just gave it a chefs kiss. However his "pleading" wasn't given long before Liv Morgan appeared on screen. The ladies went back and forth and in the end Rhea issued a challenge at Summer Slam. Liv accepted, shockingly.

 Sheamus vs Bronson Reed

Now, don't get me wrong.. I LOVED this match, but I just have this feeling that it's jsut the same old matches, week after week. Regardless, this was very hard hitting and I think they work very well together. However, in the end Sheamus was able to get the win. When the match was over Pete Dunne came out of no where to attack Bronson. But it wasn't long before the tables were turned and Pete attacked Sheamus from behind as well. 

Zelina Vega vs Sonya Deville

Probably very unpopular opinion, but here we go. This was wrong and VERY unnecessary. You can only rebrand so many times.. and this just was not it. This was not the way to go about it, by any means. Vega is too good for this treatment in my opinion. Anyway, this either set up for a full time feud or to write Vega off for a while. 

 Damian Priest and Gunther Face to Face

I'm not gonna lie, I wasn't sure about this match. How were they going to really pull this off. Baby, I was WRONG. This promo between these two were FIRE. It seemed to get "personal" real quick and brought a new level to this match. I think it's going to be hard hitting and very impressive on both ends. At this point, I can't tell who will win. 

At one point backstage, we see Adam Pearce and Chad Gable backstage. Chad starts to tell everyone that he figured it out! Uncle Howdy is none other than Bo Dallas (Taylor). Adam let's him know that Bo is in fact there tonight (the pop was beautiful), and Chad told him that he was going to call Bo out tonight. Hmmm.. let's see how that goes. 

Braun Strowman vs Damian Priest

The rivalry continues.This match really was good, I enjoyed it fairly well. I felt this match really was to push the baby face for DP and to have him beat Braun was a good touch. This let everyone know that he could in fact win without help.

Katana Chance and Kayden Carter vs Zoey Stark and Shayna Baszler

Again another waste. You can only brand someone or something so many times... I feel this new "heel" team is very overdone and shoved down your throat. I will however say that it was good to see those ladies out there... and their in ring performances were wonderful. In the end, Zoey and Shayna got the win.

Later backstage we see Chad Gable speak with Alpha Academy. He did his best to get his team back however it was not happening. We do... see Rambling Rabbit (the puppet) in the background watching. I thought this was great! Maybe a sign of what is to come?

During Drew and Adams "heart to heart" things were going great, and then they weren't. All Drew had to do was say he was sorry for what happened. That's all... and then he would get his match and be unsuspended. NOPE... Drew refused, and lost his mind. I thought this was great! He snapped. Another reason for Drew to completely come unglued. In the end, we see Seth Rollins come out for the save.Will we be seeing more of Seth, Drew AND Punk? 

Up next, we saw another VHS from the Wyatt Sicks. This time tho... it was Erick Rowan's turn.

Erick poured out his heart on this one. He talked about the loss of Brodie Lee and Bray Wyatt (really without naming them). He promised that the Wyatt Sicks would use their broken hearts to create beautiful art. This broke me... you can hear and see to raw emotion. 

Jey Uso vs Dominik Mysterio

This match came about due to Jey asking is Mami was single and ready to mingle. Lol! I loved that! And how did it go? So much craziness. This match was wild, with both ladies involved! It was too funny tho when we saw Dom take the L on this one.. losing in front of not only Liv but Mami too. While I am not a huge fan of this feud to begin with.. I am very interested to see how this will end at Summer Slam. 

Chad Gable came out to the ring, ready to go! He called out Bo and Bo delivered. He came out.. no music nothing. Just walked out. You can tell this isn't just Bo.. he just has this look about him. Bo didn't make it even half way down the ramp before he was attacked by The Creed Brothers. Bo Dallas sold the SHIT out of all of that! It was insane. It wasn't long before he was thrown in the ring and Chad joined in. The entire time, Bo was laughing.. in Bray fashion. He gave a beautiful tribute of "YEAH, YEAH, YEAH" multiple times. And it wasn't long before the lights went out and The Wyatt Sicks made their way to the ring. The Creed Brothers and Chad bailed out.. and in good reason. The Wyatt Sicks gathered in the ring to surround Bo... who fell to his knees with his arms wide open laughing maniacally. BEAUTIFUL! Will we be seeing a one on one? Or will we be seeing a tag team? Let's find out!

Intercontinental Championship: Sami Zayn vs Ilja Dragunov

Okay, I have mixed feelings on this. I love Sami and I love Ilja very much.. don't get me wrong. But this won't end it feel like. It's Sami, Bron, and now Ilja every week. Just pick someone to feud with and drop the title already. We can already assume this will end in a triple threat at SS. With possibly Bron taking the win. Don't get me wrong tho, this match was VERY hard hitting and was very enjoyable. 

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

 Overall: 9.5/10

We are in the home stretch with Summer Slam being almost 2 weeks away! 

-Will we see Dom break down more and go with Liv full time? Will we see Dom cost Mami the title?
-How will it breakdown with The Wyatt Sicks? Will we see them all in full costume at Summer Slam? Will we being see Bo Dallas or Uncle Howdy?
-Who will have a VHS tape next? Also.. is anyone else super interested to hear Dex talk?

Only time will tell!

Up next is Wednesday Night Dynamite! This is episode 250 and it's expected to be HUGE!


xoxo,

WWE Monday Night Raw on Netflix Rundown (April 28th)

We've got one hell of a Monday Night Raw, and we've got a lot to talk about! Let's get into it! -Kicking off Monday Night Raw: Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Paul Heyman I thought this was wonderful! The promo that Seth gave was AMAZING and really gave a glimpse of what is to come within this group and story. Of course, we did have Sami come out to get a little promo with Seth as well.. and it was pretty damn good. I enjoyed it very much! I still fully believe that this was a push into the direction of Sami joining Seth/Bron/Paul shortly down the road. And this will come in the form of turning on Jey Uso.. I think it's going to be one of the best storylines this year to be honest.  -Rhea vs Roxanne  Are we finally getting Roxanne on the main roster? I hope so! I enjoyed this match overall, but wish it didn't end in a DQ.. I would have loved to have a clean match between these two. It does however look we will get Rhea NOT going for the title again right now (which...

WWE Friday Night Smackdown (April 11th) Rundown/Review

We are officially ONE WEEK away from Wrestlemania, and this one is going to be HUGE! I can't wait! We are going to talk a little bit about everything that has happened last night and then go straight into what I believe will happen next Sat and Sun! We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it! -Nick kicks off Smackdown with Randy  We got both men face to face in this, and I won't lie.. it was pretty damn good. Can we please see these two go at it at Mania?? It's been teased for far too long, and it would for sure deliver. However, before it could go any further.. Solo and Tama made themselves known. I think I can speak for everyone when I tell you that the air left everyone's body. But thankfully it was a set up for a tag team match between Randy/LA vs Tama/Solo.. -Women's Gauntlet Match Overall.. we kind of knew who would win this. I will say it was pretty good and nice to see all these teams go at it. I will also mention, whatever this is with Maxx...

WWE Monday Night Raw on Netflix Rundown Blog

What a Monday Night Raw on Netflix before Money in the Bank on Saturday! This one had it's ups and downs, but.. we got through it. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it! -Kicking Off: CM PUNK We saw a little promo talking about Money in the Bank.. seeing that his triple threat was the main event. It wasn't long until we saw Sami come out as well.. planting little seeds here and there for what could happen during said match.  -Women's Money in the Bank Qualifier: Stephanie Vaquer vs. Ivy Nile vs. Liv Morgan I enjoyed this match very much, and of course it was nice to see Stephanie Vaquer join the main roster. Sadly, we knew the out come before the match even started. It was kind of obvious Ivy wouldn't be moving forward (even tho it would be nice to see her in such a match), but it was a toss up. While it COULD have been interesting if Liv was involved.. it was actually Stephanie that picked up the win. Looks like someone will be booking double duty...
