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 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

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...
