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 (Oct 11th) Rundown/Review

It's the Smackdown after Bad Blood and what a show it was! We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it! 

-Smackdown opened with the returning Jimmy Uso coming out to give one hell of a promo following his shocking return last Saturday. It wasn't long until Roman Reigns joined and made the crowd acknowledge Jimmy. Loved this! Now.. I am LOVING this type of Roman.. so much better than when it was champ.. but that is just me. He just knows how to play his character so well in each story line he is in. We did get a comment from Roman saying that he didn't like being "out of control" and in this position. Jimmy mentioned that it was time to reconnect with a certain someone, but it was "no yeet". Hmm.. will we see a reunion just in time for Survivor Series??

-LA Knight vs. Carmelo Hayes

This wasn't has hyped as Hayes vs Andrade, but I still thought the overall match was very good. I loved that we are getting to see more Carmelo on Smackdown, and hope that continues moving forward. Of course, in the end we saw LA Knight pick up the win and retrain his US Title! 

-Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair vs. Lash Legend and Jakara Jacksonke

I thought this was pretty tasteless but KO interrupted Jakara and Lash's entrance to complain about Cody.. this comes after KO attacked him after Bad Blood. Randy did try to make peace but that backfired. 

This match didn't really give us anything in the long run.. just to say they defended the titles. The match was over within just a few minutes. Why do this? Just kind of seems pointless but that is just me.

-Naomi vs. Nia Jax

We saw our queen and champ give a promo about Crown Jewel. However.. Nia/Tiffy were interrupted by Naomi who challenged Nia to a match. In a shocking turn of events, Liv/Dom/Raquel came out to watch the match. Now remember...this was a non-title match. At one point, Raquel used Tiffy's briefcase and allowed Liv to use it as a weapon to take out Nia. Like clockwork, Naomi took advantage of this.. allowing for the win. Honestly.. I didn't expect that at all! But good for her. Not only that.. someone is still pissed. Not long after, Mami showed up to attack everyone in her path. This whole thing is gonna be insane leading up to Saudi. Also... did Nia say she was going to make Tiffy cash in on Liv?? Hmm...

-Solo Sikoa vs. Jimmy Uso

*Before the main event, we saw KO attacking Orton outside of the arena.. but we all saw this coming didn't we? Oh yeah. I wonder how this will play out moving forward? Are we getting KO and Cody again? Or a triple threat?

Brother vs Brother... oooo. 

I really liked this match but didn't like it at the same time. It kept telling the story as best as possible, but also.. I love Jimmy. I wish the crowd would have been a little more into it, but I understand where they are coming from at this point. It's been nothing but Bloodline for years... and now we have a new one.. I get it. Lol! In another shocking turn of events, we saw Solo pick up the win. Roman did come out to do his best to save Jimmy.. but was taken out by a Samoan Spike.

We are FOR SURE getting Jey... and maybe Sami?? Let's go! 

*Don't forget! Monday Night Raw was taped this week due to them being in the UK on tour. If you don't want spoilers, don't go looking. 

7.4/10

*UP NEXT: Tonight is AEW WrestleDream! 

I am pretty excited for this! I can't wait! I'll be doing my best to live tweet throughout the night!

until next time

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...
