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...

AEW Wednesday Night Dyamite (September 18th) Rundown/Review

We are about three weeks away from WrestleDream and things are heating up. This Dynamite didn't disappoint, and we've got a lot to unpack. So, let's get into it!

-Chris Jericho vs. Orange Cassidy

I wasn't expecting this one to open the show.. but here we are. I think everyone knows how I feel about the whole "Learning Tree" situation.. but this match wasn't awful. Over done... sure. I think are slowly seeing the downfall of the learning tree faction, with Big Bill and Jericho having a feud within the next few weeks. I assume they will have a match by Full Gear. Regardless, the match went on and honestly.. I thought Jericho was going to steal this one. With a roll of quarters, Orange took the win. Now can we be done? Please and thank you.

-Hook had a match with a local, and of course it was a squash. I hate those matches, and I really don't care who is doing it.. at least making it seem believable. This was also pushing Roddy and Hook which will face each other next week at Grand Slam. 

-Aminata and Sakazaki vs. Deeb and May

If we can just get more Queen Aminata that would be wonderful, because I love her. This match was pretty good, these four are wonderful to be honest and I would love to see more.. of course May being the champ... we see her a good bit. I also wonder who will be her next feud. The match took a turn when May caused a disqualification, and beat Yuka with the title belt. 

-We saw Yuta talk backstage. You could still tell he was in a strange head space and not himself. It seems he will be in the match defending the trios title next week at Grand Slam. Is Yuta going to turn too? Hmm.. So many questions. 

Jon Moxley, Marina Shafir and Claudio Castagnoli were coming through the crowd when Private Party decided to attack them. In the end of that beat down (now reversed)... Mox crushed Zay's hand with a hammer as the crowd was chanting "you sick f***".. it wasn't long before Darby arrived to have a face off with Mox and the BCC.

-The Beast Mortos vs. Ricochet

This match threw me for a loop. I wasn't expecting it to be this good, but here we are. I have been loving the fact that Mortos has been used more and more like a regular, and I hope it stays that way moving forward. In the end, these two work very well together within their styles. It made for one hell of a match. But in the end, we saw Ricochet picked up the win. 

Ricochet confirmed he will face Ospreay for the international title on October 2nd.. which of course pissed some people off. What does it matter? The man won all his matches thus far, it isn't that serious. I've seen the post of how ridiculous it is for Ricochet to get a title shot so soon... Mone did it? AND WON.. but that wasn't a problem?? Hmm.. mmkay.

- The Elite vs. Ospreay, Takeshita and Fletcher

I thought this match was wonderful! Things are getting a little tense between Ospreay/Fletcher and Takeshita... do we see a complete breakdown of this group moving forward? In the last few weeks, it sure has been teased. Overall, the match was pretty good and I enjoyed it. This leads be to believe next week at Grand Slam will be pretty interesting. Could we see NEW champs? That.. I would love. Could we also see Mark Davis come back and there will be a trios match? Again.. I would LOVE. In the end, we saw some false finishes (which had me on the edge of my seat) but it was Fletcher that got the win over Nick. 

-BEFORE THE MAIN EVENT: Hangman had an interview with Tony Schiavone, and he was almost attacked... however it was Jeff Jarrett that made the save. I've seen a lot of people talk about how this just wasn't it and how could Hangman feud with Jeff after the whole Swerve situation. This takes it back before hand in the Owen Cup.. some people are forgetting that. I like it, personally. Both men are wonderful and this feud is going to be something else. 

Overall: 8.7/10

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

UP NEXT: Friday Night Smackdown

NEXT WEEK: Grand Slam in NY!

-Where is Mone? And Britt? Hmm...
-Is the Orange and Jericho going to keep going? Please.. no.
-Who will May face next? Mina? Please... yes.
-Will Bryan be able to face Nigel? 

So much going on! It's going to be good!

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...
