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...

WWE Money in the Bank 2024 (rundown/reaction)

 What a PLE.... I mean, really. I don't know how to even start to be honest. But let's get into it!

I didn't watch the pre-show like I wanted, due to a little one needing a bath. But I kind of got the run down on Twitter. 


-Men's Money in the Bank Match:

I honestly feel like them coming out too FOREVER, but that's just me. I thought it was pretty dang good over all. Ladder matches of any kind make me nervous, but I think that's just the worry of seeing people get hurt. I felt that everyone was showcased very well, and was able to show their abilities very well. I did feel it was also very intense. Jey Uso was a major favorite to win this match, but after Drew was put in as well I believe that faded a bit. In the end, we saw Drew become Mr. Money in the Bank.. and we all know what that means. Also.. I saw that a lot of people were upset that we didn't get the Wyatt Sicks. There was A LOT of speculation but nothing every really set in stone. 

 Sami Zayn vs Bron Breakker (Intercontinental Championship)

This was a match I very much enjoyed. It was very hard hitting and I felt the importance of the match. I personally was conflicted with my vision of the ending. I kind of wanted Bron to win, but do feel it's too early for a title.. However, I am also a major fan of Sami, and him being in his home. I do feel this match really showcased Bron and his ability overall, he is very talented and feel this is just the beginning of his career. After a HELL of a battle between the two, Sami hit Bron with a Helluva Kick and pinned him for the win. 

We got to see Trish Stratus (as she was the host) come out to the stage. During this time she introduced John Cena! His pop was wonderful and it was exciting to see him again. However, this time did feel different. I told  my husband, "what in the world is he doing, and why is he going to the ring". But his towel gave it away. John Cena officially announced his retirement, and let us know that next year..that it's over. He will be at the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and Wrestlemaina. They will all be his last. This really hurt, I am not gonna lie.. John Cena has been a big part of my wrestling childhood. It's been a long journey, and I am happy for him over all.

Damian Priest vs Seth Rollins (World Heavyweight Championship)

Mannnnn... what a shit show. I don't know what exactly happened with this match, something for sure felt off. You could see the tense moments of both DP and Seth looking to the stage, anticipating Drew for a cash in. Rollins hit a falcon arrow, and the ref hit a 2 out.. when it was clearly a 3 count for a pin.. DP did not kick out at all.. nor try. The crowd was PISSED and they let everyone know it. What the heck happened? Like clock work, Drew did come out and DID cash in his MIB. The bell ring and it was now a triple threat. And you know what that means.. no disqualification. Punk did show up.... and of course, cost Drew the title. DP got the pin to retain. What a total waste of a men's mib match. This was pretty stupid in my opinion. Now.. we have a hell of a story line. A set up of CM Punk, Drew, and Seth.. because now Seth cannot have another title match as long as DP is champ. My God.

Also... anyone else remember before hand in the "club house", where Finn had a suspicious look on his face? What was that about? I was FOR SURE that Finn was going to turn. Maybe tomorrow on Raw?

Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match 

Shit show seems to be the word of the night. I'm not gonna lie, this was hard to watch. I was on the edge of my seat, worried to death about some of these moves onto the ladders. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt! THE bump of the night had to be Chelsea Green. I mean... WOAH. Let's not forget Zoey hitting her head on the ladder.. I was SCREAMING. While I was SURE that Naomi was going to end up winning.. it was Tiffy that grabbed the briefcase, getting the win! For sure, the right call!

The Bloodline vs Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens

I wasn't happy that this match ended the PLE. I don't think it was right call, it should have been DP and Seth. However this match was pretty brutal, and hard hitting. You could feel the intensity. Of course, like clockwork the ref got "knocked out" and it was time for the cheating. Everyone kind of just went crazy on this, and it was awesome! Loa missed a low blow, which popped me. How do you mess that up?? There was so much to this match but honestly just felt like recycled work. Don't we see crap like this on ALL Bloodline matches?? Solo pinned Rhodes.. which I am not gonna lie... is STUPID. That was the WORST call. But I can also see how that might set up for Solo and Cody at Summerslam. We are less than 4 weeks away.

There was so extra surprises or returns. 

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

Overall: 7/10

We have A LOT going on and feel that Monday Night Raw will be an intense one. 

-What will Drew have to say after his failed cash in? Also it's been seen that he LOST IT post show on Adam Pierce and they had to be separated. 

-How will Seth react to CM Punk costing him the title?

-Will we see more of Chad/Wyatt Sicks?

-Will Bron go on a rampage?

Only time will tell! 

What was YOUR favorite part of Money in the Bank 2024?

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...
