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...

AEW Dynamite (Aug 7th) Rundown

What a week it has been, my friends. Normally I have my rundowns the next day, but honestly.. things have been pretty off.. and I took a day off to collect myself. Dynamite was pretty good this week, and we have a lot to unpack. Things are heating up, as we are inching closer and closer to All In! Let's get into it!

MJF vs Kyle Fletcher 

The show started off strong! This match was SOLID! I enjoyed these two working together, and hope to see it again soon. Fletcher is becoming more of a favorite for me, and getting popular by the week. I hope we see much more of him in the future. I'd LOVE to see Fletcher/Ospreay team up together before Davis comes back. Regardless, the match moved forward and MJF got the win. However, after the match MJF attacked the ref with the belt and hit Kyle with the diamond ring. We saw backstage that Will tried to come to the ring but was locked in a room.. trying to get out. Ospreay did make his way out, and chased off MJF.. coming to the aid of Kyle. This match at Wembly is going to be insane. Honestly.. I can't imagine who will win. Both men are very popular, and it could go any way at this point. 

Mariah May vs Viva Van 

This was basically a squash match. No surprise there.. however they didn't squash Viva automatically. I've seen her on multiple promotions previously, and I was hoping they would put on a good match. However it really didn't push Viva at all.. just making May look extra. Of course, May picked up the win. After the match Mariah was given a gift. It was a photo of her and Toni, however on the back it said "Die Mariah die".. that's when Toni Storm came out of nowhere... but officials intervened. This match is going to be INSANE.. and I have a beautiful feeling a new era will begin. 

 Bryan Keith vs Katsuyori Shibata

I hate this. I LOVE me some Shibata.. I just can't stand The Learning Tree... and I will die on that hill. I am very much ready for this to be over.. because Shibata/Hook is so much better than this all together. However, this match wasn't awful. I am kinda glad I didn't skip it this time. In the end, Shibata made Keith tap out for the win. It wasn't long until The Learning Tree crew attacked Shibata and Hook came out to make the save. Where will this fued go from here? Hmm.. 

Orange Cassidy/FTR vs Rush/Roderick Strong/Beast Mortos

This match RULED! Seriously, I wasn't sure at first about this whole thing, but the match was AMAZING. They all work so well together. That little move OC and Beast Mortos did in the ring had my head spinning.. My husband had to go back and re watch it, he was so shocked. In the end OC/FTR picked up the win. However, after the match The Acclaimed came out to confront FTR and it was a brawl. Are we going to see a 3 way for the tag titles at All In? I'd rather not, and just see FTR face The Young Bucks once again. 

Kamille Handicap Match 

Not worth it. I was hoping and praying that we would get a match with Kamille that really showed her off.. not a squash match. Kinda upset about this, but oh well.. After that match Britt Baker appeared on screen giving a promo to Mone.. Was pretty good, and gave an idea of what is to come. I have this feeling that we will be seeing Jamie Hayter at All In.. after Mone wins in a very suspicious way. 

Jeff Jarrett vs Bryan Danielson

I was fighting a two year old during this match, but very much enjoyed most of what I saw. This match was set up last week, and had been built up very well through the show leading up.. We saw Ricky Steamboat as the special guest commentator as well. I thought this match was very good, and really show cased both men. They are both wonderful in my opinion. They work very well together. Bryan Danielson ended up with the win.. and both men closed the show, showing their respects to one another. 

Overall: 8.9/10

I thought this episode was very well done and things are heating up even more now that All In is about two weeks away. I feel more and more matches are being set up to be made official. I'd say by next week we will have a full rundown on who will be making an appearance. I also saw it was announced that there will be a "battle royal" so you never know who might show up or return for this. 

Up next.. we have Friday Night Smackdown! I am pretty pumped for this and have a feeling it will be pretty good. From what I have been told.. Cody Rhodes will be opening the show. I also have insight that we might be seeing Kevin Owens vs Cody Rhodes at Bash in Berlin coming up at the end of the  month. I was wondering who this might be.. seeing that Randy will be facing Gunther in the same PPV. This would be pretty good, and it would be nice to see Cody in something other than the Bloodline situation. I know we are coming back to that.. but change is nice. Closing the show.. it is rumored to be Roman Reigns. I wonder how this will down, after the fall out from Summer Slam last week. It's gonna be good! Stay tuned into Twitter for some live tweeting.. let's chat and have fun!

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...
