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...

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,
Chels

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...
