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 19th) Rundown

We are fully on the road to Bash In Berlin! Things are heating up and tonight was no exception. We have a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!

-Randy Orton kicked off Monday Night Raw, and it was great! However it wasn't long until Gunther came out and the two exchanged words. This led to a bit of a beat down between Gunther/Ludwig and Randy.. Of course, this resulted in a match between Randy/Ludwig in the main event. Overall I think this match at Bash In Berlin will be pretty dang good.. even tho I don't see Gunther dropping that title for a long while. 

-Sheamus vs Pete Dunne

I'll be honest this feud has been going on for a good few weeks now. The match itself was very good, as both men work very well together. Is this the end of the feud? Or will be seeing these two again soon? I really don't see how this can continue but I could see it going to a PPV potentially?

-Maxxine Dupri vs Ivy Nile

Um, can we please get a little clap for Maxxine and her new gear? Because.. YES MA'AM! The match didn't even really start I don't think.. but that didn't stop Maxxine from laying the beat down for a few minutes. I was impressed. I really hope they give her a bit of a push. She has gotten so much better over the last few months in my opinion. I would love to see her used regularly. It was then the lights went out and the Wyatt Sicks appeared to raise hell. American Made took to the ring to help Ivy.. and the attack was on. We saw Nikki take out Ivy and the rest taken out by the Wyatt Sicks. Uncle Howdy made himself known, taking out Chad with a beautiful Sister Abigail. I thought this was pretty dang good. Uncle Howdy does have a bit of a new look, and this makes me wonder if his gear is 100% ready. 

-Later in the night (closer to the main event) we see it is official. NEXT MONDAY we will see Uncle Howdy vs Chad Gable. This will be the first time Bo Dallas has been in a televised match since Crown Jewel in 2019! When I tell you I am HYPE! 

-CM Punk Promo

Punk came out to the ring and he didn't come alone. He had a strap in his hand this time. After some smack talk.. it was announced that at Bash In Berlin... It will be CM Punk vs Drew McIntyre in a strap match! I have a feeling WWE will be once again pushing the limits with this match. In simple terms, it's going to be one hell of a time. I still... STILL think this will go into Bad Blood coming in October but only time will tell. Drew did interrupt and words were exchanged. I wasn't too sure about this feud at first, but now... I am all in. 

-The New Day/Odyssey Jones vs The Final Testament

I mean.. I love this, but I hate this all at the same time. I was SURE that this was it. We did see it come to light that there was tension between Kofi and Woods. They talked about it, and it seemed to squashed. Hmm.. That however wasn't the case in this tho. Kofi made the choice NOT to tag Woods in... but Jones. While Jones DID get the win.. you can still tell the turn is coming. Just.. when? My husband made the comment that what if we completely get swerved during this and it's Kofi that turns? What a shock that would be! Also.. if and when they do break them up... it's so bitter sweet. Bitter because they've been together for so long but sweet.. because that feud would be AMAZING.

-No Disqualification Match: The Miz vs. Bronson Reed

This was one match that I wasn't sure about.. but here we are. I thought it was pretty good for the most part and loved that Miz did this match to stick up for R Truth. This however wasn't a match that I expected. You guessed it tho, Bronson's terror tour took the win in the end. We also saw Braun Strowman come out mid beat down after the match and made himself known. It looks like the two will be getting a match next week. Let's freakin GO!

 -Damian Priest vs Dom Mysterio

I get it, but don't. The match didn't happen.. Before the bell could ring, we saw the "Judgement Day" attack. Same with the ladies, Rhea was attacked with a chair from Liv and the beat down went on. Why even set up a match if this is how it will go? I will say.. this build up has been pretty good and I really think this match at BIB will be one for the books. However.. that is if there are no interruptions from the outside. In the end, The Terror Twins were laid out in the middle of the ring while Judgement Day stands tall. 

-WWE Women's Tag Team Championship: Triple Threat Match

This is no secret... I don't care for it right now. But this match hit pretty good. All of the ladies worked very well together, and I can't believe I am saying this.. but wouldn't mind seeing it again in the near future. In the end, The Unholy Union retained. I am PRAYING for this run to be good to them.. because let's face it.. in the start it SUCKED. We know Jade/Bianca will have them again, it's just when. 

-Randy Orton vs. Ludwig Kaiser

This match unexpectedly hit.. Some will say that Randy's run since his return has been awful. I however.. think it's been pretty damn good. We have to remember that Randy just signed a new contract with WWE which locks him in for another 5 years. Let's not get crazy about his run just yet. The man was out for a long time (over a year or more?) it's not like we can give him a title right out of the gate. Do I think he will in one before his contract is up? Yes! Let's just pace ourselves. I really did love this match and feel it really put an extra push on the fued with Randy and Gunther. We saw Randy take the win, while Gunther stood on the outside looking a bit frantic about his friend. 

Overall: 9.1/10

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

Next week on Raw: 

-How will The Terror Twins react to the beat down?
-Will Woods final snap?
-Uncle Howdy makes his HIGHLY anticipated in-ring debut.
-How will Drew/Punk play out before their strap match?
-Will we see Gunther/Orton face to face one last time before their match?

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

UP NEXT: 

-Wednesday Night Dynamte will be explosive as it will be the LAST Dynamite before All In!
-Friday Night Smackdown
-Sunday: AEW ALL IN

I am going to do my best to tweet on Wednesday like I did with Monday Night Raw.. But with my little 2 year old terror.. only time can tell. 

I hope you will follow along with all the fun!

until next time

xoxo,

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...
