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 Bad Blood: Results/Review/Rundown (Oct 5th)

Oh boy.. Last night was Bad Blood.. and it was something else, let me tell you. We've got a lot to unpack, so let's get into it! 

-Hell in a Cell: CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre

At first I was pretty pissed that this match was starting off the show, but by the end.. I understand now. HOLY GOD THIS WAS BRUTAL! Give these men their flowers and some time off.. because OUCH! These men went straight to WAR with each other and to be honest.. it was amazing. There was some pretty rough spots tho.. At first, when Punk was thrown into the cage.. that was brutal. But went Drew started gushing.. I was hollering. I didn't expect all of this, to be honest. The bracelet beads came into play and there was also a very beautiful throw back to Steve Austin and Bret Hart thrown into the mix. In the end, it was CM Punk that was the winner. So with this story over.. where does this leave both men? Who will they face next?

-WWE Women's Championship: Bayley vs. Nia Jax

I am so torn with this match, because overall I was SO WRONG.. I'm not mad about it either, I just thought it was pretty funny.. my vision, and then what really happened. The match itself was pretty good, and both ladies did AMAZING. There were some pretty close calls with Bayley picking up the win, but Nia was too much for her. We did here TIFFY TIME.. and to be honest.. I thought it was happening. With the ref destracted, Tiffy helped Nia pick up the win..but the tension is still very much there. I am begging this to not be a failed cash in, but the more this goes on.. the longer I am convinced that is what will be happening. 

-Damian Priest vs. Finn Bálor

I stated this before, and I will again... where was the hype for this match? Also.. are we getting Demon Balor.. because that "look" Finn had sure suggested it. Hmm.. I thought this match was pretty well done, and added more to the story. Once again we saw that Finn would have needed help, and almost had the match won. DP said NOPE.. and picked up the win, even with Carlito on the outside. Does this mean we are getting more of this? PLEASE.. 

- Triple H's "Historic" Announcement 

What kind of shit is this? Where is the announcement of the Elimination Chamber being in the UK in March?? Instead we get THIS?? Oh boy. Triple H made the announcement that on November 2nd at Crown Jewel in Saudi.. two men and women's champions would compete against each other.. and will win the new stupidly diamond-studded belt. BYE... Afterwards we got a little spat with Gunther and Goldberg of all people. For the love of God.. do NOT put Gunther in the ring with Goldberg. That man is young and has a whole career ahead of him... we don't need botch man risking anything. 

-Women's World Championship: Rhea Ripley vs. Liv Morgan

OH BOY, let's hurt some feelings. This match sucked rotten walnuts. Let me re-do that.. the first part of the match was pretty good, I guess. At some point, Dom opened the cage door and fell... resulting in him hanging by his leg from the cage. Perfect place for Liv to be distracted and Rhea to pick up the win. NOT! Rhea then went on to be the shit out of him with a kendo stick. Raquel made her return with NO pop what so ever.. taking out Rhea and resulting in a disqualification for the win. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?? I thought this was going to end things once and for all? Nope. I've read that this was actually botched but they went with it anyway. I guess that this means we are going to get Rhea/Raquel for a few months before Rhea wins the Royal Rumble in February. Ugh!

-Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu

It took Cody and Roman 13 minutes to come to the ring. 

Overall I thought this match was pretty good, and told a pretty good story along the way. I think everyone expecting someone to turn.. I sure did. I also didn't expect Roman and Cody to work so well together, but they did amazing. Can we also talk about how Cody FLEW off the top rope into Jacob Fatu?? Didn't see that one coming Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa made themselves known HOWEVER.. JIMMYYYYY made his return taking them both out. This allowed Roman to give Solo a hell of a spear for the win! 

After the match there was a bit of a beat down on Cody.. however Roman and Jimmy came back to make the save. To end the show, The Rock RETURNED and made himself known. The staredown was pretty intense.. and he counted 1, 2, 3... was he looking at Roman or Cody? From what I've read (because I sure don't remember).. he was looking at Cody.. reminding him that he pinned him on night 1 of Wrestlemaina.

We are getting Cody vs The Rock aren't we? Hmm..

*NOTED: There is now video circulating that Kevin Owens ATTACKED Cody Rhodes in the parking lot by his bus. I am guessing this will be fully revealed on Friday Night Smackdown. Oh.. this is getting GOOD! 

Overall: 8.9/10

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

-What is next for Drew/CM Punk if their feud is over?
-What is next for the Wyatt Sicks?
-If Rhea and Raquel are feuding.. who will be next for Liv?
-What is next for Damian vs Finn?

We've got ALOT to unfold for Monday Night Raw! Let's freakin 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...
