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 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 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...
