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...

AEW Wednesday Night Dynamite (Aug 28th) Rundown

It's the fall out from All In London, and boyyyy did it deliver! We have a lot to talk about so let's get into it!

-A RETURNING Jon Moxley kicked off the show, and to NEW music! Loving it! I am hearing from multiple sources that this is actually his NJPW music. Jon looking a little different than before, not wearing anything BCC as before.After Schiavone asked about Mox and how he was doing.. Mox replied that there were things that needed to be done. After that Mox said it was about time him and Darby had a talk. WHICH I WOULD LOVE! After that Mox told Schiavone that this wasn't his company anymore. I cannot help but wonder what he means by that? Are we getting Shane after all? New Mox group take over? This makes me HYPE for what is to come.

-Tomohiro Ishii vs. 'Hangman' Adam Page

I was PUMPED when this match was announced. I don't know about y'all, but I have always like Hangman.. but this unhinged Hangman is where it's at! Overall this match ruled! Seriously, it was just two men that gave a hard hitting match. I wouldn't mind seeing them face each other again in the near future. In the end, it was Hangman that picked up the win. However it didn't end there... right after the match, we saw Swerve come out and confront Hangman. The men exchanged words, and the match was laid out. All Out... Swerve vs Hangman in a Steel Cage! HELL YEAH!

-Jamie Hayter vs. Harley Cameron

It was SOOO good to see Jamie back in AEW! She has been missed so much over the last 15 months. It wasn't a surprise that this match was a squash. Of course it didn't last long, and was a filler match in a way to set up for Jamie and Saraya! Will we be seeing this at All Out? Or will they wait a little bit longer for this? Of course Jamie got the win as well. I am very excited to see how she is booked after coming back. 

-Hook and Conglomeration vs. Strong and Learning Tree

I am so torn about this. I love Hook/Conglomeration.. however I am really tired of the same matches over the last month. With any large tag match, of course it will be madness.. and madness it what it was. Pretty good match tho overall. In the end.. it was pretty controversial.. Strong tapped out to Hook but his foot was on the rope. Hmm.. While there was madness on the stage area, we saw Hook laid out by Strong. So now we will FOR SURE be seeing Hook vs Strong next week. That most likely would be a pretty good match if you ask me. 

-Mariah May 

We saw the beautiful and NEW Women's World Champ as she stood with Tony on the stage. However, there would be no celebration as she said it was be next week. However this didn't stop her from taking off her robe to reveal the championship and a skimpy silk dress. 

-Ricochet vs. Kyle Fletcher

This match was AMAZING and I need like 12 more, thank you. Seriously tho, I am HYPE for Ricochet joining AEW. There are so many matches that would HIT with him. This match was so amazing.. seriously there is just something special about both Ricochet and Fletcher. Both men are so talented and have IT. In the end, Ricochet picked up the win. It wasn't long before we saw Will Ospreay join in the mix and have a bit of a stare down. This goes back to him and Ricochet not only being friends.. but their past amazing matches together. Things didn't end like they needed.. and it was PAC that attacked Ospreay from behind. Looks like this match is gonna get pretty intense at All Out. 

-Bryan Danielson Speaks 

I am so happy for Bryan on this. He deserves it so much, and honestly I feel like his rise to the championship was beautiful. There was no feeling of special treatment or cutting in line. Bryan worked his ass off for this. Things got pretty dicey... as Bryan mentioned that he isn't under contract, as well as he was going to need neck surgery sooner than later... and of course his family wanted him to come home. For a moment there I thought this was over and he was going to give up title. 

Bryan said that he wasn't giving up his title and he would continue to defend his title until the very end. After someone beat him, he was going to give up his full time role. It was then that Jack Perry appeared on the screen and talked about his accomplishments including beating Bryan once already. It was then we saw Jack attack Bryan from behind.. hitting him with a running knee. Jack Perry then posed with the TNT Title and the World Title to end the show. 

So.. this means we are getting Jack Perry vs Bryan Danielson next Saturday for the title? Hmm.. While there are many people who are pissed.. I can get it. The down fall of Jack? Or maybe this has something to do with Christian Cage having a title match contract? I could see how this would be an interesting situation. Now.. I don't think Jack would win, for I feel he isn't ready for that responsibility.. but I do think story wise it would be pretty damn good.

Overall: 8.7/10

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

We are looking at a very interesting time this week and next week. We got a lot of wrestling and it looks like it will be it for a while. Our next PPV after this month will be at Bad Blood in October. 

UP NEXT:

-Friday Night Smackdown will be in Berlin ahead of BIB on Saturday after (in the US)
-Bash In Berlin on Saturday and I won't be LIVE tweeting (I will tweet that night)
-Fall out from BIB on Monday Night Raw

-SO many questions on what will come:

-Will we see more of Uncle Howdy? Will the Chad Gable story line continue?
-Will Britt Baker come back to challenge for the TBS title? Or has that ship sailed?
-Will Toni Storm return to face Mariah May again?
-What will come of Nia Jax and Tiffy situation?

Things are heating up, friends! 

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 ...

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...
