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...

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,

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...
