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 23rd) Rundown

Last night we had Smackdown it the card was pretty stacked. I see we are really heating things up for Bash In Berlin which is now ONE week away! Over all after this SD we are looking at a 6 match card! This one is going to be good! We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!

-Smackdown opened with the Grayson Waller Effect, with our champ Cody Rhodes as a guest! You could feel the tension as Waller seemed pretty annoyed by everything Cody was doing. In such a short time he stopped him from his opening pose on the top rope, and took his catchphrase. Words were exchanged and it wasn't long until KO came out as well. I thought it was too funny when Waller played the video of KO betraying all his friends. I guess this is referring to what might happen to Cody sooner than later. WHAT IF... Cody is the one to turn on KO? Wouldn't that be something... In the end, Nick came out to book KO/Cody vs A-Town Down Under for the main event.

-LA Knight vs. Santos Escobar

I was looking forward to this match, because in the past these two have had some pretty good matches together. I was hoping this wasn't an exception. Like clockwork, we saw Angel and Berto attack Knight at the very start before the bell.  After that the match went on. The overall match had such great energy and was very fun. It wasn't long before LA hit the BFD and retained the title. I really hope this feud doesn't go on for long or really.. anymore. I am hype to see all who will go for the US Title and if will really click with energy.

-Naomi, Belair and Cargill vs. Fyre, Dawn and Davenport

VERY unpopular opinion on this.. I don't care for it. Now, I am not saying the ladies are not talented it's just this fued and how it's been going on. Fyre/Dawn.. their run has not been very good but recently have been attempting some life. But we now know where it's going.. The match was been made for BIB for the tag team titles. We know who will win... I just wish this whole thing had been planned out better. All the ladies are SO talented, and this could have been a very interesting and fun situation. I hope in the near future Belair/Cargill have good feuds lined up. 

-The Bloodline vs. Street Profits

I've been looking forward to this match all week. But beforehand, we saw Solo give an in-ring promo. Solo told Jacob to give his title to Tanga.. because he was injured, and that he was the enforcer and couldn't do both. Hmm... 

Overall the match was okay. It didn't live up to my own hype, but was still enjoyable. There were some fun spots here and there.. But we all know the ending. It was The Bloodline that kept the win. I wonder who will be the next to face the Bloodline? Will we be getting Sami and Jey? Or what about Jimmy and Jey? Either way, it needs to happen sooner than later. 

-A-Town Down Under vs. Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes

I enjoyed this match pretty well. I thought it was not only fun but competitive. I know it's coming. but I am so hype for Theory to turn on Waller. I mean.. we can't ignore it. It's been building for months now, and it keeps getting hinted at over and over again. I can see this being dragged out to Bad Blood or even Survivor Series... either way, the pop is going to be great. In the end, we saw Cody/KO take the win. At the very end tho.. I thought it was happening! KO appeared to be going to hit Cody with the belt but didn't. He handed it to him and walked away. With this happening twice.. are we going to see a full turn next Friday? Or even after Bash?

Overall: 7.8/10

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

We are only ONE WEEK away from Bash In Berlin and I believe the card is official! 6 MATCHES! This is going to be so good! Up next we will see Monday Night Raw! 

-How will Uncle Howdy come out? Alone or with the Wyatt Sicks? Will this be the end of his feud with Chad?

-How will The Terror Twins react after their beat down next week?

-Will Randy/Gunther be face to face for the last time before the bell rings?

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

TOMORROW: It's almost time for AEW All In London! I am HYPE! I will be doing everything I can to LIVE tweet with all the surprises and matches. 

I have some fun today with my family and I'll be on IG posting throughout the day. 

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...
