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 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

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...
