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 (Oct 14th) Rundown/Review

Last night was Monday Night Raw and it was taped from last week. The WWE is currently on tour in the UK.. which mainly seems to be Smackdown this time. They will be back in time for Friday Night Smackdown in Columbia, SC. We've got a lot to unpack, so let's get into it!

-We are on the road to Saudi! Crown Jewel will be Nov 2nd and things are really starting to heat up, card wise. 

-Rhea Ripley kicked off Monday Night Raw this week and she was PISSED. She went right into it and called out Liv and Raquel! However.. we saw Tiffy come out and let Mami know that she shouldn't cross Nia anymore. BOLD on Tiffy's part, if you ask me. It wasn't long after that we saw a bit of a beat down from Liv/Raquel.. leaving them standing tall by the end. I don't know how I feel about that ending..

-WWE Women's Tag Team Title: Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair vs. Damage CTRL

I wanted to love this match, but just couldn't get behind it fully. I love that we also saw NXT's Jakara and Lash Legend! The match itself was pretty good, much better that I thought going into it..but I wish we could have gone without the little interference.. but I can understand why. Of course Jade and Bianca took the win.. but this now leads to where they will go next? Could we see a rematch due to the interference? Or will Jade/Bianca set their eyes on Jakara/Lash Legend? That might be pretty good! 

-Alpha Academy vs. The War Raiders

We got The War Raiders back! AHHHH! Please don't use them in the wrong way, I beg of you! The only thing I really didn't like was using the Alpha Academy as bait. While the Academy is very good and entertaining... you can't tell me that they had a huge chance going into this match. Of course, in the end we saw The War Raiders took the win and go to the next round in the No 1 contender tournament for the tag titles.

-Cody Rhodes and Gunther Promo

We saw these two face to face in the ring before their big match at Crown Jewel coming in almost two weeks! The two exchanged words, and things were a little heated as things progressed. We saw Gunther refusing a handshake with Cody at first.. but then wished luck and walked out to close it out. I feel like this really made things more serious than they were. There's a level of respect and honor that has seemed to go into this match and I really like that. They've been able to build a story without a major reason.. just champion vs champion. If you haven't seen this promo, you really should. I think it was very well done for both men. 

-Kofi Kingston vs. Bron Breakker

Honestly, this match went on a lot longer than I thought it would. I thought the match was pretty good overall but going into it.. very predictable. After a huge Spear coming off the ropes.. Bron scored the win. We see afterwards Woods trying to make a save but was threatened by Bron. We did see Jey make the save and stood tall in the end. So we are for sure getting Jey vs Bron once again... hmm.. Please don't overwhelm this.

-R-Truth vs. The Miz

I don't think this match was needed, but I did enjoy it. I agree with what I had seen on Twitter that this was really just a situation of moving forward in the story line. The Final Testament arrived.. resulting in a bit of a distraction.. and that allowed Truth to steal the win. WHAT?! This threw me for a loop, and I loved it. Of course.. this ended in a beat down on Truth from AOP and the Miz delivering a Skull-Crushing Finale. We also saw a little Wyatt Sicks warning. If you want to see more about that, please go check out Twitter! BUT..it does look like the coordinates are located at Wells Fargo Center which is where they will be NEXT WEEK on Raw. This is also where Bray made his return at Extreme Rules in 2022. Ooo... this is going to be so good!

-Rhea Ripley and Tiffany Stratton vs. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez

I thought this match was pretty good! I loved Rhea and Tiffy working together, I thought they did pretty well. What I didn't enjoy was Nia interfering and making it a disqualification. Hmm.. I would love to have seen this match in full and have seen a pin. We ALMOST saw a cash in situation with Tiffy and Liv.. but Dom was able to make the save. I kind of like this layout right now, because now you don't know what Tiffy will do. Will she swerve us all and cash in on Liv instead of Nia? Or will Nia always be her goal? Makes you wonder..does it?

Overall: 8.1/10

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

*I'm not the only one that has been hearing references to Brock right? Is he really coming back??
*Will the Rhea/Liv saga come to an end before the Royal Rumble?
*Are we going to see the Wyatt Sicks next week? or another video?
*What other matches will be announced for Crown Jewel?
*What is next for The New Day.. and their celebration coming up next month? Is someone turning?

UP NEXT: AEW Wednesday Night Dynamite

*Things are REALLY heating up with AEW and I feel like this one isn't one you wanna miss. 

until next time

WWE Monday Night Raw on Netflix Rundown (April 28th)

We've got one hell of a Monday Night Raw, and we've got a lot to talk about! Let's get into it! -Kicking off Monday Night Raw: Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Paul Heyman I thought this was wonderful! The promo that Seth gave was AMAZING and really gave a glimpse of what is to come within this group and story. Of course, we did have Sami come out to get a little promo with Seth as well.. and it was pretty damn good. I enjoyed it very much! I still fully believe that this was a push into the direction of Sami joining Seth/Bron/Paul shortly down the road. And this will come in the form of turning on Jey Uso.. I think it's going to be one of the best storylines this year to be honest.  -Rhea vs Roxanne  Are we finally getting Roxanne on the main roster? I hope so! I enjoyed this match overall, but wish it didn't end in a DQ.. I would have loved to have a clean match between these two. It does however look we will get Rhea NOT going for the title again right now (which...

WWE Friday Night Smackdown (April 11th) Rundown/Review

We are officially ONE WEEK away from Wrestlemania, and this one is going to be HUGE! I can't wait! We are going to talk a little bit about everything that has happened last night and then go straight into what I believe will happen next Sat and Sun! We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it! -Nick kicks off Smackdown with Randy  We got both men face to face in this, and I won't lie.. it was pretty damn good. Can we please see these two go at it at Mania?? It's been teased for far too long, and it would for sure deliver. However, before it could go any further.. Solo and Tama made themselves known. I think I can speak for everyone when I tell you that the air left everyone's body. But thankfully it was a set up for a tag team match between Randy/LA vs Tama/Solo.. -Women's Gauntlet Match Overall.. we kind of knew who would win this. I will say it was pretty good and nice to see all these teams go at it. I will also mention, whatever this is with Maxx...

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...
