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 25th) Rundown/Review

WHAT A FREAKIN SHOW! I am not going to lie, I am fully back with loving Smackdown lately. And this show delivered! We are ONE week away from Crown Jewel and things are heating up greatly! We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it! 

-Randy Orton kicks off Smackdown

We saw Randy make his way to the ring, but we also saw him make sure to speak with Triple H before hand in gorilla. If you'll remember last week, Nick Aldis refused to give Randy a match with Owens. Now here we are. Once to the ring, Orton demanded Triple H come to the ring and oh boy did he. Randy then accused Hunter of protecting Owens from this fight.. but in a weird turn of events Hunter said he was doing it to protect Randy from Owens.. Oooo....The two went back and forth, becoming a little heated as time went on. Finally.. Hunter agreed to give him the match at Crown Jewel.. but made sure to tell him to watch his back. Hmm.. is this telling what might come before their match? I though this was wonderful and really told a story and backstory of it all.

-Andrade vs. Carmelo Hayes

It's match number 7 for these two.. and boy can they deliver in a match! We also saw LA Knight as the special guest ref for this match as well! I thought the match itself was pretty damn good.. both men work so well together and honestly.. I would love to see more of them together. I know I am pushing it when I say this.. but they would be AMAZING as a tag team. But that is just my opinion. Melo accidentally kicked LA out of the ring.. which resulting in LA pulling him out of the ring and slamming him into the announce table. Andrade and LA got into it as well.. resulting in LA giving him a BFD. LA ended up ringing the bell himself and declared himself the winner. While I love LA so much. .and this run, I don't think this was the best way to end this match. But I can understand for the set up.. After the match, Nick caught up with LA and was PISSED. It looks like we are getting a triple threat at Crown Jewel! I hope this match delivers! 

-Naomi vs. Candice LeRae 

Are we seeing the fall of Nia and Tiffy? Seems like it. This has me wondering what will be happening at Crown Jewel on next Saturday.. Hmm..

I am pretty pumped to see Candice on Smackdown and not just Speed. While some of this match was a little wonky, it still was pretty good. We did see Indi get involved, as well as Bayley. Naomi used this distraction to her advantage and got the win. I could see them doing this match again.. but without the "distraction" to maybe make a better match. I wouldn't be mad at it. But does this mean we are getting Bayley vs Indi next?

*Cody Rhodes and Gunther: Face to Face

 I liked this! It was a little different, but still kinda similar to their last week. I knew things were going to be heated (as they always are, closer to the match) but I didn't expect Cody to lose his cool like that. I didn't expect him to attack Gunther. I loved it! However, Ludwig showed up to help.. that was until Randy came to help Cody to end the segment. People are pointing out the look Randy had while giving Cody his title.. Please don't do this to me. Please don't let Randy turn on Cody right now.

*Also.. I've seen the rumors. If Bill Goldberg cost Gunther the match and starts their feud... I'll cry. And I don't mean happy tears. Please don't do this to everyone. Gunther is young, protect him at all cost. Thank you. 

-DIY vs. Motor City Machine Guns

I have never been so ready for a match in my entire life. It was so good to see Shelley and Gargano in the ring together! This match was VERY good.. and it was a very high energy match. Both teams brought it to each other and you could tell the importance of it all. Sadly.. there was a bit of miscommunication and Gargano super kicked Ciampa off the apron. Because of this.. Shelley and Sabin were able to pick up the win.. becoming #1 conditioners for the tag titles! But.. this got the wondering if this will cause issues between DIY moving forward? Please don't split them up!

-Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa vs. Motor City Machine Guns

This was SHOCKING to me.. But the Bloodline came out and introduced themself to MCMG. This led to a match, as the Machine Guns were ready and asked for their title shot. Nick agreed to it, and sent a ref to the ring. I was NOT expecting this AT ALL.. but boy am I glad it happened. We saw Jimmy Uso make an appearance and attack Solo and Jacob Fatu. Roman soon joined and they all fought around the ring. Another masked man came out and took out Tama/Tanga.. this ended up being Jey Uso! In the end, this was enough for MCMG to take the upper hand and get the win! WE HAVE NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPS YALL! I don't give a damn what ANYONE says.. these two men deserved it! I could go on a 300 page rant about how much I love MCMG and how they deserve this, but I'll spare you this one time. Now.. let's just hope this really jump starts the tag team division to get their ass in gear. 

Smackdown ended with Jimmy and Jey hugging in the middle of the ring as Roman looks on from the stage.

WHAT A FREAKIN SHOW YALL!

Overall: 9.7/10

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

*Will Tiffy cash in at Crown Jewel? If so.. WHO?
*Will we see a NEW US Champ sooner than later?
*Will Rhea get involved with Liv vs Nia?
*Please tell me we aren't getting Goldberg back to face Gunther??

Up Next: WWE Monday Night Raw

Things are coming to a head.. and I can't wait to see how they unfold! 

Let's freakin GOOO!

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...
