WWE Monday Night Raw Rundown/Review

It just dawned on me that I never did my Smackdown Rundown... and I am so upset. Let's just say it was a busy and full weekend for me. Regardless, this week for wrestling is going to be HUGE.. so bare with me, as it will be ALOT! I think I will have a blog every single day from Saturday-Tuesday... I might even have two in one day. Saturday is TWO PPVs.. in Wrestlepalooza and AEW All Out.... I WILL be watching AEW first and LIVE so you can expect the tweets. I am unsure about watching Wrestlepalooza in real time due to AEW but I will be tweeting as best as possible when I do watch it. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it! -Kicking off: John Cena We had a pretty dang good promo with Cena and talking about Brock... A good bit of this confused me.. seeing that Brock has only been on Smackdown and not Raw leading up to their match on Saturday. I wish there was a little more. With this.. this makes me believe the match itself isn't going to end clean and will m...

WWE Monday Night Raw (Oct 28th) Rundown/Review

What a freakin show! If you didn't know.. Monday was a pretty special day. It was my 31st birthday! Of course we celebrated with going out to eat.. my favorite place (Chili's) was wonderful as always. We spent the day with family and enjoying our favorite things throughout the day. We had to end the day with the most delicious cake and of course Monday Night Raw. This was the final Raw before Crown Jewel on Saturday.. and we've got a lot to unpack. So.. let's get into it!

-The Usos

The show started off with Jey Uso making his way to the ring.. and spoke for a moment before asking Jimmy to come out as well. Jimmy thanked Jey for all the work done on Smackdown and said basically they needed to work together to take down Solo and his Bloodline crew. However.. Jey did mention that there was a lot in their relationship that needed to be fixed if they could work together. We did see Tama and Loa attack.. as well as Jacob.. while Solo watched from the ringside. Things were able to be turned around and all three men were taken down by Jey and Jimmy. A lot of people were talking about how this is being rushed, and I can see that.. but they have one month to do this. Are they doing this due to having Sami involved as well? Could that take some time too? Only time will tell! 

-Sheamus vs. Ludwig Kaiser

We've seen this match before if I am not mistaken, but I am not complaining. I actually really enjoyed this match overall. I feel both men work very well together and it ended up being very intersting. However we did see a hell of a Brogue Kick that allowed Sheamus pick up the win. Does anyone else think this will move forward in the story line? Or will they move on all together?

-Ivy Nile vs. Zelina Vega

I didn't really care of this match all that much. I love both women and hope to see more of them on tv.. but this match just wasn't really it for me. I've seen Vega have a very popular presence on Twitter..and for this to end this way was a little upsetting. There was some spots where this match was a little awkward feeling.. but in the end.. it wasn't very exciting. Ivy Nile ended up getting the win.. which in my opinion was a bad call. 

-The New Day vs. War Raiders vs. LWO

This match wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I don't know exactly why I thought that going into it.. but I enjoyed it. I honestly couldn't predict who would win... and by the end, I was a little shocked to be honest. All men worked very well together.. so that was a plus! We saw Chad Gable come out and resulted in LWO being taken out of the match all together. In the end, The War Raiders got the win to move forward in the tournament. For sure didn't see that coming.. I was pretty sure that The New Day would win. We also saw that Kingston was the one that was pinned.

*Before this match, we saw Seth Rollins and Bronson Reed go at it once again. From the ring to the parking lot.. things were pretty damn wild! If you haven't seen this segment, please go watch! I can't wait for their match on Saturday! 

*We also saw a small segment with The Miz and R-Truth! I thought this was too funny! The Miz did his best to get back in good graces with Truth.. but he wasn't having it. He smacked The Miz and told him "Good luck with the Wyatts... y'all gonna die" I did not expect that! LOL!

*Before the main event.. The Miz and Karrion Kross had words. Kross wanted Miz to bring him Bo Dallas.. or else Kross was going to break Miz's legs.. He wanted Bo by the end of the night. Hmm.. 

-Damian Priest vs. Dominik Mysterio

Ehh.. I wasn't thrilled with this at all. It was pretty predictable if you ask me.. of course we saw Dom do his best to cheat.. while Damian was able to use his size to move forward in the match. The match didn't feel important, and felt a little rushed. Of course there was the predictably of it all... Judgement Day interfered.. being able to distract the ref. Dom ended up being able to roll up DP and getting the win. I call pure bullshit. In the end.. DP did get the last laugh as he hit the Razor's Edge on Dom before striking him multiple times with a chair. One thing I did notice.. Finn didn't come out. Hmm.. are we having probelms within the Judgement Day??

Overall: 8.3/10

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

*If you were like me, waiting on something to happen with The Miz/Bo Dallas.. then you'll notice there wasn't anything that happened on air. This left A LOT of people disappointment. However about 30 minutes or so after Raw went off air we got some answers. In a digital video on Twitter.. we saw a very upset Miz looking for Bo around the arena. However.. things took a turn when Miz was kidnapped by Dexter! Didn't see that coming! Kross was notified by Scarlett. and the search was on. But.. in the words of Kross.. for only about 10 mins. LOL! This was too funny!

If you'll notice.. Friday Night Smackdown was taped due to them being overseas.. so if you don't want spoilers.. then don't go looking for them! I'll be posting like normal on Saturday for the results and my thoughts. 

-Up next.. we do have Wednesday Night Dynamite Fright Night! Things are heating up, friends! 

I'll be doing my best to live tweet during Dynamite tonight! 

until next time

xoxo,
Chels

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 ...

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...

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...
