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...

WWE Bash In Berlin (Aug 31st) Rundown

WOAH! What a freakin PLE! I wasn't really sure what to expect when coming into this, but boy was I impressed with this. We have a lot to unpack, so let's get into it!

-I didn't watch this in real time, and did my best to avoid anything until last night. 

-Undisputed WWE Championship Match: Cody Rhodes (c) vs Kevin Owens

I don't know what I expected this with. I know Cody wouldn't drop the title, but this build up to the match was very interesting to say the least. I would say this match was pretty damn good considering there wasn't really a start up feud. It was just kinda Cody's choice in the start. I was a little worried coming out of Smackdown on Friday with KO saying Cody was "hurt". That came to a head when Cody appeared to have hurt his knee. Take that with what you will on that. In the end, Cody got the win after a hell of a battle.. inside and outside the ring. I was FULLY expecting KO to turn on Cody afterwards, but that wasn't the case. This does have me wondering if Cody will turn on Kevin in a shocking turn of events. It's WAY to obvious for KO to turn.

-Women's Tag Team Championship Match: The Unholy Union vs Jade Cargill Bianca Belair 

I am so torn with this. The Unholy Union have had a pretty okay run thus far. I do feel that the longer their run.. the better they got. However, I can understand this change of hand. I love Jade/Belair as a tag team.. even tho sometimes I can get frustrated with creative. I thought this match was pretty good for these two. All women seem to work very well together and I really hope that we see The Unholy Union in the mix again soon. In the end, we saw Jade/Belair become NEW tag team champs once again! I'll be pretty excited to see who they face next on this run.

-Strap Match: CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre

Who else has been HYPE for this? And... is this the first time they have used the light system for this kind of match? It's safe to say these two beat the shit out of each other in this. I loved it! I love both of these men, and have been enjoying this feud more than I should. After a hell of a fight, it was Punk that got the upper hand.. and after multiple GTS it was time for the win. CM Punk was the first one to hit all 4 corners and got the victory. Also.. can we please talk about Drew selling those GTS? Because OMG, yes. Do I see one more match in this? HELL YES, and please be a Hell in a Cell match at Bad Blood.

Mixed Tag Team Match: Rhea Ripley, Damian Priest vs. Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio

This match was beautiful in every single way. I loved the story telling leading up, and of course the interruptions kept telling the story. All 4 can work very well together, and I feel this feud is something that will be remembered for a while. Will it keep going, OH YES! We saw Rhea lock in the head-scissors Dom, which was a throw back to the first time.. before they got Dom to join the Judgement Day.. that pop was great! I can expect a match or two within this group/feud at Bad Blood.. but who? Rhea and Liv? Damian and Finn? In the end, it was The Terror Twins that picked up the victory! Hell yeah!

-World Heavyweight Championship: Randy Orton vs. Gunther

Once again, I didn't know what to expect with this match. Apart of me REALLY wanted Randy to win this, but I can understand that Gunther does need more time as champ seeing his previous run. Also, someone pointed out that since Gunther has been in WWE.. 70% of the time, he has been champ. That is crazy! This match DELIVERED! Both men work AMAZING together and they put their heart and soul into this. This performance was like no other, and I hope everyone took notice to it. I was BLOWN AWAY. This really proved that Gunther HAS IT and I hope this is just the beginning for him. Overall, we saw Gunther win, as Randy passed out. Didn't expect that way to win, but.. I can get it. 

Overall: 9.2/10

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

Tomorrow night we have the fall out from Bash In Berlin:

-Will Uncle Howdy/Chad Gable continue or will there be a new story-line?
-How will The Judgement Day react to their loss?
-Who will challenge Gunther next?
-How will Drew react to losing to Punk?
-Will there be a new feud for Jade/Belair?

So much going on this week as we lead up to AEW's All Out on Saturday! Let's go!

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...
