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 7th) Rundown/Review

This was the first Monday Night Raw that was TWO hours since July of 2012! We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!

-The night kicked off with CM Punk, he didn't say very much.. but enough. He thanked his fans and all but said he wasn't sure about his future moving forward. So I am guessing Punk will be taking a bit of a break.. going into Crown Jewel in November. Hm.. He was interpreted by Seth Rollins... but words were not exchanged at this point. 

-Seth came to the ring and gave a promo after everything went down with Bronson Reed in the following months. He issued a challenge, but was then interrupted by Jey Uso.. who had a match next. Things seemed to get a little tense but never went further than that. Are we getting Seth vs Punk... or Seth vs Jey? Either way, I am HERE FOR IT!

-Jey Uso vs. Xavier Woods

This match was much shorter than I thought it was going to be. Good.. but short. I was really looking forard to this match and hoping we would get a little more insight to the whole Woods/Kofi situation. However, that wasn't the case this time. The match went on, and Jey Uso picked up the win. At the end, we saw Jey offer a handshake as a way of respect, but Woods was bitter and declined. Hmm.. interesting. Are we getting the full turn during the anniversary of The New Day next month? In a turn of events we saw Bron Breakker attack Jey with a Spear. Kingston attempted to help but was taken down as well. Woods did watch from the sidelines and did not help. Once again... Hmm... While I would love for them to go at it again, I hope it isn't something that is over done. 

-Good Ol' Fashioned Donnybrook: Sheamus vs. Pete Dunne

I don't know what I really expected during this match but I am a little frustrated overall. The match itself was PRETTY DAMN GOOD. Both men work very well together and the work paid off on giving everything they had. However, I am not happy with the ending. Why not put over Pete during all of this? It seems that Sheamus has been the overall winner in this, which just doesn't seem right but.. oh well. Does this mean ONCE AGAIN we will be seeing another match, with Pete standing tall? Please don't burn these two out. 

-10-Woman Tag Team Match

Natalya, Kayden Carter, Katana Chance, Zelina Vega and Lyra Valkyria vs Zoey Stark, Shayna Baszler, Sonya Deville, Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre. Okay... let's hurt some feelings. This match sucked. Plain and simple.. I felt like there was no direction and it was a bit messy. Also.. have we not seen this match 100 times within the last 2 months? I get story lines, and building it up.. but this is stupid at this point. In the end, Natalya, Carter, Chance, Vega and Valkyria picked up the win! 

*Backstage we saw The Miz and Kross speaking with each other and it's been made VERY clear that The Wyatt Sicks have picked their next target in The Miz/Kross.. The thing is.. when will they strike next. We have R-Truth vs The Miz next week so I feel it's only a matter of time. 

-World Heavyweight Championship: Sami Zayn vs. Gunther

Okay, this match was pretty dang good. I had this feeling in my head that we just MIGHT see Sami win this championship. But in my heart, I knew Gunther would keep his title for a little while longer. It made me feel that way due to the fact they already had the TWO posters for Crown Jewel. The match itself went pretty well and made everyone unsure of the final outcome. In the end, Gunther applied his sleeper on Sami and the match was stopped via ref stoppage. WOW.. didn't expect to see that one at all. 

So... now it's official! It will be Gunther vs Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel in November! That is gonna be pretty damn good! 

7.8/10

Up next: Wednesday Night Dynamite

-I have already seen Dynamite, but sadly I won't have this one up until maybe tomorrow or later on today. I haven't decided on what I will do just yet. Yesterday was pretty busy and I just didn't have it in me to blog nor tweet very much.

-This is THE final Dynamite until WrestleDream which is THIS Saturday!

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...
