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 Smackdown (Aug 2nd) Final Before Summer Slam Rundown

Oh boy, it's ALMOST time! Last night we saw the final Smackdown before Summer Slam and we have SO much to talk about. Tonight is said to be one of the BIGGEST Summer Slams yet.. But before we get to that, let's talk about last night. Let's get into it!

-We started off Smackdown last night with Solo and Cody. They made their way to the ring and gave a promo on each other and their match tonight. However, it wasn't long until things got a little dicey. The Bloodline made themselves known, and in the end Cody agreed to a Bloodline Rules match. So we know there will be some extra faces during that match. Roman? Jimmy? Jey and Sami? The Rock? So many opportunities to unfold with that. 

-Andrade vs Carmelo Hayes

We got round 2! This match was one of my favorites! Both men work so well together, and if I am being selfish, I would love to see it again. Them working together would be good too? A tag team maybe? I was however a little shocked when Andrade won a 2nd time. You could for sure see the sadness/disappointment in Melo. I really hope there is a turn around for Hayes, as he is really good and over. 

Apollo Crews vs Santos Escobar

I wanted to like this match, I really did. However, it just wasn't that great. It wasn't long enough, and honestly I felt it was lack luster. I wouldn't be opposed to seeing another match between the two.. maybe just a little longer. Santos got the win, but of course he had help from his team.

We knew we would be seeing Logan Paul tonight in a big fashion, and of course that delivered. Paul came out and revealed a champ banner.. however it had been defaced by LA Knight. I thought this was too funny. Major boos for the "hometown boy" last night. We saw at the start of the show that Logan came in his Prime truck. It wasn't long until we saw LA Knight taking the truck for a spin, leaving Paul to chase after him. This was too funny and I REALLY hope we are getting a NEW champ tonight. Can you imagine that pop??

Isla Dawn/Alba Fyre vs Belair/Jade

I was FULLY expecting to hear NEW champs tonight, however this just wasn't the case. While I do love Isla/Alba, I feel like they aren't booked properly. They've had maybe.. one or two matches since they won?And their promos have been less than great lately. I hope they can pull it together before they drop the titles. I feel like they will lose them to Belair/Cargill in the near future. In a strange turn of events, it was Blair Davenport that appeared and attacked Cargill to cause a DQ. Not the best way to end a match, but maybe this will go somewhere. Didn't she have a feud with Naomi? Can you say trios match?

DIY vs The Bloodline (Tag Titles)

Do I even really have to talk about this? As soon as the women's tag titles were retained.. I knew it was over. Why even put the titles on DIY if they were going to lose them so quickly? I don't feel like these were earned, just given. Regardless...Jacob ended up picking up the win for the titles.

The show ended by Solo having the titles on his shoulders. 

Overall: 6.9/10

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

-We didn't see Nia/Bayley.. does this mean the title will be changed? We did however see Nia present Tiffy with a new case. 

-LA Knight has the momentum to win the title, but will it happen??

-With the Bloodline Rules match, we are guaranteed to see a return or two? Will one of them be Roman?There is NO WAY Solo is winning this match.... right??

-Triple H said this Summer Slam will be one of the biggest yet... such a loaded statement!

Tonight is THE night! Stay tuned on Twitter for live tweeting during the show! Come follow along and say hi!

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...
