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...

WWE Friday Night Smackdown (Sept 20th) Rundown/Review

We are TWO weeks away from Bad Blood and things are heating up. I am still a little upset that Bad Blood will be starting (in my area) at 5pm... but oh well. We are usually not even eating dinner at that time, but we will be making it work. Last night's Smackdown was something else, and we've got a lot to talk about.. so let's get into it!

-LA Knight vs Andrade (for the United States Championship) 

One thing about this match. Super high energy. You could tell the importance of this match, and I loved it.. at first, I wasn't too sure but it grew on me. A couple of times during this match, I was convinced we were going to be seeing a new champion.. but thankfully I was wrong. LA picked up the win! Bravo to both men! 

-Roman Reigns/Cody Rhodes promo package

Woah. This was pretty damn good. Like.. fabulous, give me 14 good. Going into it, I wasn't exactly sure where it was going, but wow.. Can Cody and Roman work together? Are we going to see a major turn of one of the two? Only time will tell, I guess. If you haven't watched this, please do. 

-Apollo Crews vs. Giovanni Vinci

What in the Mississippi flap-jacks are y'all doing with this man? The hype. The video packages. Then you make this man lose like this twice? Please let this turn into something good, because at this point I am disgusted. Either don't use him, or book him better. This isn't just a Vinci thing, I'd feel this way with anyone.. I am just not a fan of this angle. 

*We (once again) saw Hayes and Andrade backstage. Words were exchanged and the fight began. That looked real, so real in fact that my husband was like "oh shit". Lol! These two could fight forever in my opinion. Round 6? Let's got!

*Backstage: We saw KO looking pretty upset after watching the video package of Roman and Cody. He went to the ring to give his thoughts but.. of course The Bloodline came out (besides Solo). Who gave that man a mic? And why.. because I was dying. I read on Twitter that someone said Tama had "big Beavis energy and honestly... I get it. Also.. I was in tears over that. DIY came out to help in the end. Nick was ready with security and made it official that there would be a six-man tag match for the main event. *insert eye roll here*

 -Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton vs. Bayley and Naomi

I wasn't sure about this match. I thought I would love it,but something about it seemed a bit off. Some confusion maybe? Maybe it was suppose to be that way due to the stipulation? Regardless, it wasn't awful. It was pretty tense, seeing that if Bayley/Naomi lost.. they would be leaving Smackdown. And also... with the tension between Nia and Tiffy. That turn HAS to be coming sooner than later. Bad Blood maybe? Anyway.. in the end (in a not so shocking turn of events) Bayley AND Naomi pinned Nia. Triple threat? I could see it. But then it was announced backstage that NEXT week it will be Bayley vs Naomi for the opportunity to face Nia at Bad Blood. I don't like this really.. but that just me. Bayley just had the title taken off of her, and Naomi.. I just personally didn't like her as champ. I'm not saying she isn't good, she is very good.. just not my cup of tea. Regardless, I hope the match is good/works out. 

-Street Profits and Kevin Owens vs. Bloodline

Like clockwork, DIY was taken out by The Bloodline so it was Street Profits that came in for the same. I saw ALOT of people saying that it didn't make sense.. but it does. A couple of weeks ago, The Bloodline cost SP at NXT when they had their title match. I can imagine they were looking for revenge. I can also see where people wouldn't see that, I personally didn't watch NXT.. but had seen it on Twitter the night of. In the end, it was mas chaos. The matched ended in no contest after the ref lost control. This resulted in more madness... as DIY came out "injured" to help as they could. Not only after Cody came to help as well. At the end of the show it was Cody Rhodes and KO that stood tall in the ring. It seemed KO was ready to attack Cody.. but didn't. They shook hands (delayed) and Kevin looked pretty upset. I am FULLY convinced that Cody is going to be the one to turn heel. You cannot convince me otherwise. Let me explain: Okay.. so everyone expects Roman to be the one turn on Cody because he wants the title back. It's been expressed that Cody's run has been lackluster since Mania. Everyone expects KO to turn on Cody due to not being able to win the title from him and being bitter. No one expects Cody to be the one to be heel and basically lose his shit. It's the small things... Cody said last week he was DONE with the Bloodline yet... he is right in the middle of it by the end of the night. WHAT. You can't tell me something isn't up. 

Just let me be delusional. Thank you.

8.2/10

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...
