WWE Monday Night Raw Rundown/Review

It just dawned on me that I never did my Smackdown Rundown... and I am so upset. Let's just say it was a busy and full weekend for me. Regardless, this week for wrestling is going to be HUGE.. so bare with me, as it will be ALOT! I think I will have a blog every single day from Saturday-Tuesday... I might even have two in one day. Saturday is TWO PPVs.. in Wrestlepalooza and AEW All Out.... I WILL be watching AEW first and LIVE so you can expect the tweets. I am unsure about watching Wrestlepalooza in real time due to AEW but I will be tweeting as best as possible when I do watch it. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it! -Kicking off: John Cena We had a pretty dang good promo with Cena and talking about Brock... A good bit of this confused me.. seeing that Brock has only been on Smackdown and not Raw leading up to their match on Saturday. I wish there was a little more. With this.. this makes me believe the match itself isn't going to end clean and will m...

WWE Smackdown (July 26th) Rundown

We are only ONE week away from Summer Slam, and things are heating up! This Smackdown was recorded due to WWE being in Japan for a summer show. We have a lot to unpack, so let's get into it!

-LA Knight vs Santos Escobar

While I am not a huge fan of Santos, this match was pretty good overall. I can see this builds his momentum, but also LA Knight as we go into the Logan Paul match. I am REALLY pushing to see LA win.. he needs this, seriously. He is so over. In the end, LA Knight got the win. However, this didn't stop the action. It wasn't until after the match that we see Paul come out with a beat down to end the segment. I think this feud has been great, and the story has been put together beautifully. 

-Backstage we see that Loa's eye was injured from last week. However, this didn't stop the Bloodline. Tama and Jacob will be in the tag team battle later on in the show. I thought this was pretty stupid, and just kind of gives it all away. We are gonna act like they aren't gonna win. 

-Jade Cargill/Bianca Belair Promo

 We knew this was coming. Jade and Bianca want a rematch, and honestly at this point.. let them have it. Alba and Isla have been champs since CATC and it's been awful. No matches, no action... it's been pretty rough. I love those gals, but this run just isn't it. If you are going to put the titles on someone for the "feel good" then make it good at least. I can expect a title change either on the Raw after Summer Slam or at Saudi within the month. However, in the end of this.. we see Alba/Isla go in for a sneak attack that backfired. 

-Tag Team No 1 Contender's Gauntlet Match

I didn't watch all of this, due to a very upset almost 2 year old. These terrible 2s... 

Participants: Baron Corbin and Apollo Crews, Angel Garza and Berto Carrillo, The Street Profits, Pretty Deadly, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu

I feel there could be some AMAZING matches with these teams, giving the chance.. however we already knew this ending. In the end, it was The Bloodline pinning the Profits. This makes me so sad, because I would LOVE to see Profits and DIY next week. 

Grayson Waller/Austin Theory called out boxer Terence Crawford. If you'll remember he helped out Cody last week.  However this didn't end well.. Waller was met with a punch from Crawford.. that didn't connect but it did to Theory. This split/fight between the tag team is going to be AMAZING and the build for it has been pretty good.

Cody Rhodes has a promo in which he talked about the match at Summer Slam with Solo... he didn't think that Solo is ready, but isn't so sure anymore. He'd like to talk with him one-on-one next week. 

-Bayley/Michin vs Nia Jax/Tiffany Stratton

 Things are heating up with these four. I am loving this story line with these ladies, and I feel they work so well together. Something is for sure brewing between Tiffy and Nia.. There is no in between when it comes to this. Nia is either going to win and have the cash in taken from her.. or Nia is going to cost Tiffy. I feel that was already planted weeks ago when Corey mentioned it. Tiffy would be the 1st failed cash in for the women. I think that would be a pretty bad call, having the mens squashed as well. I think Tiffy is ready.In the end, it was Nia/Tiffy that picked up the win. 

-Solo Promo

To end the show, we have Solo giving a little promo. He called out Cody and Roman both. Makes you think and makes you eager for next week. With that being the final Smackdown before Summer Slam.. anything can happen.

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

We are ONE week away, y'all! But we do have two more stops before we get there. 

Monday Night Raw:

-What will come of Liv after Dom made her cry?
-Will Chad vs Uncle Howdy become official?
-How will Gunther and DP react after their brawls?

Friday Night Smackdown:

-Will we see major flaws of Nia/Tiffy?
-How will Cody/Solo face to face go?
-Will there be a women's tag team match?

Only time will tell! 

until  next time

xoxo,
Chels

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 ...

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...

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...
