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 (Sept 11th) Rundown/Review

Tonight's Dynamite was something else, let me tell you! It's the fall out from All Out last weekend, and it did not disappoint! I wanted to go LIVE on YouTube, however you have to have at least 50 subscribers... Sadly, I am (I think) less than 20 away from my goal. This ended up not happening because my son had a little accident at dinner, and I was too worried about him during that time. I am going to be trying again tomorrow night during Friday Night Smackdown. We have a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!

-We kicked off Dynamite with an AMAZING video package/promo from Moxley, and the aftermath of his turn on Bryan Danielson. I thought that was pretty great, and really gave the reasoning behind Mox's actions. This feud is going to be something else it seems. 

We got Christian Cage opening the show, coming out with his title contract. Does anyone think he will be champion with the next year? I have this feeling, but I just can't pin point. This promo didn't last very long, but the point was made. Does anyone think that Killswitch might cost Christian in the long run? What about that little exchange between Killswitch and Jack Perry last week? Keeps you thinking doesn't it? I could have sworn earlier in the year, I had seen a report about Jack Perry trademarking "A Boy and His Dinosaur " but.. I can't 100% confirm.  

-Jack Perry vs. Lio Rush (TNT Title)

The first match of the night! I didn't think this one was going to be good, but I ended up really enjoying it. The two men work very well together, and between the strength and quickness of each one.. it ended up being very interesting. Overall, I wouldn't mind seeing them work together more. In the end, we saw Jack Perry pick up the win to retain his title. 

For an unannounced match, Private Party/Komander were coming out to take on Spanish Announce Project.. however this match didn't even start. Mox and his new group came to the ring and made their attack. Pac then went on to say that what had happened at All Out was inevitable. This group is more than I expected in the long run.. and they are just getting started. I can't wait to see what happens with them moving forward. What about Yuta tho? 

-Sammy Guevara vs. Ricochet

Loved it. Simple and to the point, I loved this match in every single way. These two work AMAZING together. Sammy and Ricochet both have the most amazing high flying abilities and quickness, which made this match not only enjoyable but gave a great story. This is the first time the two have been in the ring in about seven yeas. In the end, it was Ricochet that scored the win. This didn't last long due to Beast Mortos taking out Ricochet via spear. Sammy then chased Beast away with a chair. Hm..is this Ricochet's next opponent?? That's a match I wouldn't mind seeing in the very near future. 

Up next we had Darby come to the ring and that he is right here if there was anyone looking for him. Mox didn't wait very long until he came out with Shafir. We heard a pretty dang good promo from Darby about how he looked up to Mox but was pretty pissed about what he did to Danielson. In a shocking turn of events we heard Mox tell Darby he wanted him to give up his title shot. In the end, Darby told him to earn it. Moxley said to put up his title shot in a match at Grand Slam.. and Darby accepted.

-Mariah May vs. Queen Aminata

I love these two women. They are both wonderful in my opinion, and this match was showing it. These two women matched each other very well! This match gave the importance of the title in my opinion, as it was very hard hitting in the second half. But in the end, we saw Mariah May score the win. Can we PLEASE get Queen Aminata on Dynamite more? Please and thank you. Afterward, we had May with the mic saying that she hasn't yet had her title celebration and that she needed Mina. Hmm.. is that all that will be there? 

-The Learning Tree vs The Iron Savages

Why. Y'all already know how I feel about Chris and this character. However, I do love Orange Cassidy.. so that softens the blow of having to hear "HI GUYS". We saw a quick little bout of a match in which The Iron Savages lost in a quick manner. After the match we saw The Conglomeration dumping $7000 in pennies/change onto Chris Jericho's Bentley. I thought this was pretty funny. Can this be the end of this tho? Because... I'm struggle with keeping up with it. I will say.. did anyone see Big Bill's look at Chris after he talked about there was no friends in this business. Are we hinting at the demise of this group?? Please and thank you.

-Nigel McGuinness

Okay, this one is gonna piss some people off but let's do this. Nigel came to the ring (after we saw a backstage segment with Nigel needed to talk with Tony) and gave one hell of a promo. By the end, it was announced that at Grand Slam we would see Nigel McGuinness vs Bryan Danielson for the AEW World Championship. It was later said that this match would only take place IF Bryan was cleared in two weeks. Here is where people are crying.. so let me give my input. 

-Mox NEVER said that Bryan wasn't cleared while talking to Darby.
-This extends the feud between Mox/Darby/Danielson by at least two weeks.
-It was clarified that the match between Danielson/Nigel would only take place IF Danielson was cleared. 

Personally, I love it. I think it's interesting and fun. Remember.. it's wrestling, it's not that serious. Some people don't agree and that is okay.. to each their own. 

-Tag Team Casino Gauntlet Match

Teams:

    FTR
    Ospreay and Fletcher
    The Righteous
    Undisputed Kingdom
    The Acclaimed
    MxM Collection
    Top Flight
    The Outrunners
    Grizzled Young Veterans

I've seen a lot of people upset with this.. another Casino Gauntlet Match. I love it, personally. It's fun and you never know who will come out. I personally thought MCMG was going to debut but I was wrong. If they are headed to WWE, then I hope they are used greatly and respectfully. Wherever they go, I know they will be great! However, this match was great! I saw a lot of the tag teams I haven't in a while like MxM Collection (I don't watch Rampage or Collision right now), the Outrunners, and the Righteous. I LOVED the pop for Outrunners.. they are so over! In the end, we saw Ospreay and Fletcher take the win. The look on Osprey's face was PRICELESS! I can't wait for this match! What if we get Mark Davis back sooner than later?? I wouldn't mind a reuniting of United Empire? Only time will tell!

Overall: 8.9/10

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

With this being the fall out from All Out, I was pretty happy. But no Mercedes? Where's Britt? With Britt.. I can see her being off until Oct 2nd.. with that being the 5 year show, and it being in Pittsburgh. Will Bryan return next week? Hmm.. so much to think about on this one.

-Up NEXT: We have WWE Friday Night Smackdown

-Roman Reigns RETURNS
-Will the Bloodline explain their actions after an attack on NXT this week?
-Is there bad blood between Nia and Tiffy?

So much to check out tomorrow night! Again, I am going to do my best to hit 50 subscribers on YouTube and go LIVE but no promises. Between work and school lately, it's been kicking my butt. 

until next time

xoxo,
Chels

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...
