WWE Monday Night Raw Rundown

We are so close to the road to Wrestlemania! We are a little over a month away from the Royal Rumble and things are getting HOT! Our next big WWE program will be Monday Night Raw: One Year on Netflix and things could change in a big way. Let's not forget outside of that.. we do have an AEW PPV in a few weeks as well. We have a lot to talk about from Raw, so let's get into it! Kicking off: Gunther After his win over Cena in his final match.. things were up to 11 with this opening. I don't give a damn what anyone says.. this was amazing. You can hate Gunther all you like (or even Triple H) but that doesn't change that he is now one of the best in the business. I love this for him. I love the "I don't give a shit" attitude.. the arrogant vibe, and the shit eating smile. It's perfect and I can't wait to see where go with this next. I did see them teasing AJ Styles... which would be pretty damn good as well.  The Usos vs. New Day I don't like it. We...

WWE Monday Night Raw (Aug 12th) Rundown

It's our favorite day of the week.. Monday Night Raw! There was so much that happened last week, this week was so highly anticipated. I'm not gonna lie, this week was pretty good. I didn't get to tweet as much as I wanted.. due to the little one and our puppy who decided to rip off his back nail. Things got a little crazy for a while. Regardless, we have a lot to talk about so let's get into it!

-Raw kicked off with Mami herself.. Rhea Ripley came out to the ring to give a promo on Dom and Liv.. I'm not gonna lie, she let em have it. It wasn't long before Dom/Liv appeared from the crowd. They went back and forth.. and DP appeared behind the two "love birds". They brawled (both Dom/DP and Rhea/Liv) throughout the back and crowd. Rhea did a great job.. but I'm not gonna lie.. Dom.. needs to work on his promo skills. It was a little cringe, and just unbelievable. 

-Damian Priest vs Carliot

This match wasn't really note worthy. It was okay, and of course it went along with the story line. I feel we will be seeing more of this in the weeks ahead tho. Like clockwork, Priest picked up the win and was then attacked by The Judgement Day. Rhea came out to help and The Terror Twins once again stood tall. I love this with Rhea/DP but the way they are showing Liv/Dom is a little cringe. Someone had said it's like watching a bad teen comedy. I can get that.. 

-Wyatt Sicks (Bo Dallas VHS)

I was shocked to see another tape this week. There was no post on Twitter indicating anything, so I was very happy about this. This tape was basically Bo telling us that he felt Bray last week in Baltimore. That everything was going to be full circle, and something big was coming. Hmm... Howdy? Alexa? Match at Bash in Berlin? I'm pretty excited what will be next.

-Odyssey Jones vs Vincent Winey

An enhancement match. There really wasn't anything special about this match overall.. other than showing off Jones and setting up for a match next week. You could tell that Woods was about to snap.. being looked over, talked over, and ignored. The turn is coming... and I honestly don't know how to feel about it. A heel Woods? This might be pretty good. The long term story telling has been beautiful tho! Next week we will see a 6-man tag between the men.

-Alpha Academy vs American Made

Can we just talk about this for a moment?? Because what in the world?? This match was AMAZING! No squashing.. just a hell of a match. I am so happy they are really pushing Otis and Tozawa like this. In the past both of them have been treated crappy, and they deserve to be shown how great they are. Did anyone else catch the Heavy Machinery line? Are we getting Tucky back? Or am I trippin? In the end, Ivy Nile attacked Maxxine.. this caused a distraction that allowed the Creed Brothers to pick up the win. Kinda pissed about this, but for the sake of the story line.. I get it. Will we see Maxxine back in the ring? Could this also hint at Nikki going after Ivy? We did hear that Chad said he had unfinished business with The Wyatt Sicks.. Hmmm

-Damage CTRL vs Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark 

I just can't get behind this. Either one of them. I take nothing way from any of the ladies, it just isn't my cup of tea I guess. The match wasn't awful, but with the finish it kind of made it a bit lack luster. I do love seeing the Unholy Union more and more on TV as champs tho. In the end, The Unholy Union attacked and took out everyone to stand tall. 

-Randy Orton/Gunther Promo

Does anyone else just LOVE seeing Randy on Raw? Not long after Randy came to the ring, Gunther responded and came out to join him. All was jabs and fun until Gunther brought in Randy's father and grand father. Then things became a little too serious. Before things could get physical, Drew McIntyre came out. In Randy fashion, he used that distraction to hit an RKO on Gunther. But that wasn't all.. CM Punk showed up and attacked Drew. It all back fired with Drew when CM Punk got his belt from him and beat the hell out of him. I though this was great, these two feuds are going to be AMAZING. 

-The Miz vs Bronson Reed

The set up for this match was too funny. The segment with Randy/R-Truth got me tickled. I felt the match wasn't note worthy or very impressive.. but it was a nice touch overall. Of course, Reed picked up the win. Are we setting up for an Miz turn? Since... this is kinda Truth's fault?

-Sami Zayn vs Bron Breakker (IC Title)

This feud has been pretty good. The build up, especially for someone that has just been called up as been so good. I love Bron.. and really feel that he has so much to do in the company. He was a great champ in NXT and I have no doubt he will be a great IC holder. Overall this match was pretty good, it gave a sense of urgency.. seeing that it was a 2 out of 3 falls. Those kind of matches always leave me on the edge of my seat. In the end, we saw Bron retain his title. These two work so well together, and honestly.. while I love Sami.. It will be good to see who is next for Bron. 

Overall: 8.4/10

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

Up next: We have Wednesday Night Dynamite! It's gonna be good! We are REALLY heating up as 1.5 weeks until All In! I have a feeling we will see the final few matches be put together, and I can't wait! Will we see Britt Baker confront CEO? It's two on one? Did anyone say Jamie Hayter?? I've heard many rumors that she might be returning AT All In. I've also heard many rumors about Tay coming back.. which is really exciting! 

Let's not forget we will have a double PPV.. Sunday 25th (AEW All In) and then Saturday 31st it will be Bash in Berlin.. that one starts at 12pm (CST). 

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

I am a little later than normal on my blogging. Yesterday was pretty crazy, and it I am being honest.. life has just been kicking my ass lately. But we are back, and getting it going. With so much wrestling, you can catch all my content live on Twitter! Come follow along and say hi! 

until next time

WWE Monday Night Raw Rundown

 I'll tell you what.. I guess that tweet wasn't lying about Monday Night Raw...IYKYK. We've got A LOT to talk about.. and a crash out is on the horizon.    -Kicking off Monday Night Raw: Liv Morgan Liv Morgan came to the ring with Dom to give a promo, explaining her actions last week with Nikki Bella. In this, she also called out Iyo Sky.. and she wants another title shot. Iyo came to the ring as well, and it all but seemed like this was a story ready to kick off.  -Ivy Nile vs. Stephanie Vaquer vs. Raquel Rodriguez vs. Asuka (Queen of the Ring) This match was SO much better than I thought it was going to be overall. I really had this match between two women, and that was Vaquer and Asuka. All women did wonderful, and work so well together. We did see Rhea come out and cost Raquel in return from Rhea's match. And in the end, it was Asuka that got the win! She will now face Alexa Bliss this Friday! That match.. should be very good. It will be interesting t...

WWE Monday Night Raw Rundown/Review

What a time, everyone. I have been going going going for the last week or so.. so much that I haven't blogged. I hate when I have to skip weeks, but to be honest... sometimes it is like that. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it! -Kicking off Raw: Rhea Ripley We love Mami.. and she is MAD. Rhea addresses the attack of Asuka from last week.. which of course resulted in Iyo to come out as well. It wasn't long until Asuka and Kairi made themselves known and a brawl was set. This time.. it was Iyo that was misted by Asuka. My guess is that we are going to see some tag team action much sooner than later. I enjoyed this very much overall.. and am pretty happy that we are having Rhea and Iyo set away from the title action. But the question is.. when it is all set and done, are we going to see Rhea or Iyo turn on one another in a shocking turn of events? -Intercontinental Championship: Dominik Mysterio vs. Rusev I won't lie.. I was a little shocked about this...

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...
