WWE Friday Night Smackdown Rundown/Review

I'm a little late, but here we go. We've got a lot to talk about.. so let's get into it! -Kicking off: Cody Rhodes We didn't get very much but was told by Nick Aldis that we are getting a No 1 Contenders match in which we will see Jacob Fatu vs Drew McIntyre. This is very interesting see that we didn't think Jacob was cleared. Cody did address his loss to Seth.. however now has his eyes set on the new fued that is brewing. This.. should be interesting to say the least.   -Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss vs. Sol Ruca and Zaria (for the Tag Team Titles) I loved this match! I LOVED seeing Sol Ruca and Zaria on the main roster.. and this match delivered overall. However in the end, it was Alexa and Charlotte picked up the win to retain their titles. If you haven't seen this match, please do.. it was worth it. I can't wait to see not only what Alexa and Charlotte will do next.. but what is next for Sol and Zaria.   -United States Championship Open Challenge: Sami...

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 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 ...

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...

WWE Evolution 2 Rundown/Blog

Okay, I didn't expect this PLE to go this hard.. but here we are. I was SHOCKED out of my mind with this. The build up might have not been good, but the show... they did that shit.  -Kicking Off:  Becky Lynch vs. Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria This was a whole lot better than I thought it was going to turn out. While I did want to see Bayley pull off a win, I did have to remember that Summer Slam is just under 3 weeks away. All three women did so damn good, but it was Becky that retained. So does this mean we could infact see Bayley and Becky once again face off at SS next month? Because that would be the best place for Bayley to win. -Jacy Jayne vs. Jordynne Grace I haven't been very familiar with Jacy Jayne, but I liked her! She is pretty good overall. There were some issues here and there within the match but they did their best to recover. However.. as expected we saw Blake Monroe turn on Jordynne Grace to cost her the match by hitting her with the title. It seems we are getting...
