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 Friday Night Smackdown (Aug 16th) Rundown

 What a Smackdown! 

Yesterday was my husband's birthday, which resulted in watching Smackdown a little later than normal. Between going out to get Mexican, and cake time.. we had a time with our little one. He wanted to party hard. Lol! But we made it through, and I actually enjoyed Smackdown this go around. We have a lot to talk about so let's get into it! 

-We are on the road to Bash in Berlin and things are heating up! 

-Smackdown opened with Tiffy (and Pretty Deadly) welcoming Nia for her championship celebration. I thought this was AMAZING. Also.. can we talk about how gorgeous Nia looked?? That opening was just chef's kiss. Tiffy of course went all over with the pink and cuteness.. which Nia said she didn't really care for. Nia then said everyone (including Tiffy) needed to bow to her. Hmm... in which Tiffy hesitated. Can you feel the tension? Can you feel the start of a turn? Tiffy was able to stay clear from this one.. when Kit/Elton sang Nia a little tune. This was hard to watch only because I have second hand embarrassment. Lol! Mia Yim broke up everything and raised hell with a kendo stick. Took EVERYONE out. I loved this so much. 

 -Andrade vs Carmelo Hayes

Is there more to this story than we think? Or is this all? We are in the 3rd match for this two and I am loving every single one of them. I mean.. come on! These men work so well together it's insane. Since they are keeping them going I wonder if this will end in a situation of a final match in a PPV setting.. or will they end up becoming a tag team? Hmm.. Makes you think.

 -Naomi vs Blair Davenport

I might just get some hate for this.. but I'm gonna say it. This match SUCKED. I'm serious, it seemed very lack luster and I just was not a fan. I'm not even talk about individually.. I mean over all, it seemed that these two couldn't work very coordinated together. I hope they can redeem it sooner than later.

-Kevin Owens vs Grayson Waller 

I loved the set up for the match. The tension is still there for both Theory/Waller.. so I am hoping this is where it's going in the end. I loved the match.. another situation where both men work well together. In the end, we saw Owens take the win. After the match we saw chairs get involved as well as Theory.. to help his partner. Of course, we can't have things uneven. Cody Rhodes made the save to help Owens. Things got a little tense when Owens picked up the title. Are we going to see a complete turn of KO against Cody? Hmm I am pretty interested to see how this will play out in Berlin. Is that tension that I feel against the two best friends?

-Street Profits vs DIY

I have been WAITING ALL WEEK on this match. This match.. this match my friends was IT. You wanna talk about good tag team wrestling.. let's freakin go! I loved everything about this match, the men work well together and it shows big time. I was on the edge of my seat with some of the near falls. It was hard to pick who I wanted to win.. because I am such a fan of both. Both teams deserve the best. However, I could have SWORN that DIY was gonna take that win.. nope. The Street Profits got the pin and I was SHOOK. Looks like we have new no 1 contenders. 

Solo/Tama came out to the ring. We saw Solo call out Roman to take the ulafala from him if he wanted it back. Of course, we are not disappointed when Roman comes out and takes out Solo/Tama by himself. He reclaimed what was his.. but sadly was taken out by Jacob Fatu. The show ended with Solo standing tall over Roman.. I knew this would come.. but it doesn't make it suck any less. I am assuming we will be seeing some back up very soon. Does this mean it will be a match at Bash In Berlin? Or will we be waiting a month for Bad Blood in October??

Overall: 7.9/10

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

Up Next:We have Monday Night Raw coming up! 

-How will Rhea/DP and Liv/Dom move forward with their match coming up?
-Will we be seeing Bo Dallas and The Wyatt Sicks again? Or more videos?
-Will we see more of a build up of Randy/Gunther

We are ONE WEEK AWAY from All In at Wembly.. and the hype is REAL! I WILL be live tweeting next Sunday so please make sure you are following along in on the 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...
