WWE Monday Night Raw Rundown/Review

It just dawned on me that I never did my Smackdown Rundown... and I am so upset. Let's just say it was a busy and full weekend for me. Regardless, this week for wrestling is going to be HUGE.. so bare with me, as it will be ALOT! I think I will have a blog every single day from Saturday-Tuesday... I might even have two in one day. Saturday is TWO PPVs.. in Wrestlepalooza and AEW All Out.... I WILL be watching AEW first and LIVE so you can expect the tweets. I am unsure about watching Wrestlepalooza in real time due to AEW but I will be tweeting as best as possible when I do watch it. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it! -Kicking off: John Cena We had a pretty dang good promo with Cena and talking about Brock... A good bit of this confused me.. seeing that Brock has only been on Smackdown and not Raw leading up to their match on Saturday. I wish there was a little more. With this.. this makes me believe the match itself isn't going to end clean and will m...

AEW Wednesday Night Dynamite: GRAND SLAM (Review/Rundown)

Woah baby, what an episode of Dynamite! One of my favorite episodes of Dynamite is always Grand Slam! You never know what is going to happen! Anddd boy did this deliver! We've got a lot to talk about it, so let's get into it!

-Bryan Danielson vs. Nigel McGuinness 

I did not expect this to start off the show, but helllll yeah! We got a little scare at the start, not knowing if Bryan was going to show up. But we didn't have to wait long as The Final Countdown started to play. LOVE IT! After 13 YEARS we saw Nigel return to the ring and this match was SOOOO GOOD! I was pretty impressed with both men in this, and I really hope we will see Nigel have more matches in the near future. The match itself went a little longer than I expected, but I am not going to complain. In the end, we saw Nigel say "Thank You" before tapping out to Bryan. Alot of people were saying he said "f*** you" but I don't think that is the case. Things got really tense when Christian Cage came out holding the contract for his title shot, but Kip Sabian took the pen out of his hand and took off. This was so funny and good but what role will Kip have in all of this??

 -Hook vs. Roderick Strong

I keep forgetting about the "rules" for the FTW Championship to be honest. Going into this, I think I was fully expecting a weird Roddy quick win... oh but I was wrong. This match was pretty good! There were a lot of weapons that came into play, and it delivered. I was shocked when Hook retained, but so happy! What really got me was Hook at the end.. retiring the FTW championship and returning it to Taz. How freakin sweet was that. Taz shedding a tear almost got me.. 

- The Young Bucks vs. Will Ospreay and Kyle Fletcher

Um, excuse me.. this was 110% a PPV match in the best form. I went into this match fully expecting a regular match. I didn't think we were getting this banger of a situation. Also LOVED we got the United Empire opening. This was THE match of the night and you cannot tell me otherwise. These two teams work incredible together, and I NEED MORE.. please and thank you! But then we run into the shenanigans... Ospreay refused to let Fletcher (given by Don) use the screwdriver... The Bucks were able to hit the EVP Trigger (after using the title belts as a cheat) and got the pin on Fletcher. PLEASE for the love of GOD let this be a route of kicking Don OUT. If Fletcher turns on Ospreay I'll cry. I'm not even joking. Only time will tell! Next week shall be interesting. 

 *Prince Nana gave a little interview on stage with Tony S, and boy did it deliver too. It wasn't long into the interview that MVP made his AEW debut. Hmm.. he made sure to give Nana his BUSINESS card, and told him to give it to Swerve. Hmm.. are we getting two debuts sooner than later? This is going to be so good.

-Mariah May vs. Yuka Sakazaki

This was a pretty fun match in my opinion. I loved this! Overall, this was a very fun and interesting bout between the two ladies. Yuka is very creative and I loved the way this played out. In the end May got the Storm Zero on Yuka.. picking up the win. At the end of the bout, we also also Mina come out.. looking oh so confused. Are we getting May vs Mina at WrestleDream? Because I would love that! 

-Jon Moxley vs. Darby Allin

What the f*** was that. 

This match was a car wreck that wouldn't stop and I just couldn't look away. Both men work very well together and if I am being honest.. are BOTH willing to risk it all. A lot of people went on to say that Darby shat himself.. however, I think that was blood smeared from his hands. In a shocking turn of events, it was Mox that got the win with a Death Rider from the middle rope. WOAH BABY! We are getting Mox vs Bryan at Wrestle Dream. I am more than confident that Bryan will be retiring. What a wonderful way to go out too. If he doesn't, this does lead me to how far will he be going.. and WHO will take the title from him? Only time will tell! We are about TWO WEEKS away! 

*Danielson did show up at the end of the match to attack Mox.. but was taken out by Shafir, PAC, and Claudio. Others did show up as well to help Bryan.. and that ended the show. WOW!

 9.5/10

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

This week was INSANE and I loved it. Thus far, Monday and Wednesday night were both pretty damn good. Up next is Friday Night Smackdown and I hope they deliver! 

until next time

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 ...

WWE Monday Night Raw on Netflix Rundown Blog

What a Monday Night Raw on Netflix before Money in the Bank on Saturday! This one had it's ups and downs, but.. we got through it. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it! -Kicking Off: CM PUNK We saw a little promo talking about Money in the Bank.. seeing that his triple threat was the main event. It wasn't long until we saw Sami come out as well.. planting little seeds here and there for what could happen during said match.  -Women's Money in the Bank Qualifier: Stephanie Vaquer vs. Ivy Nile vs. Liv Morgan I enjoyed this match very much, and of course it was nice to see Stephanie Vaquer join the main roster. Sadly, we knew the out come before the match even started. It was kind of obvious Ivy wouldn't be moving forward (even tho it would be nice to see her in such a match), but it was a toss up. While it COULD have been interesting if Liv was involved.. it was actually Stephanie that picked up the win. Looks like someone will be booking double duty...

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...
