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...

AEW Wednesday Dynamite (Nov 13th) Rundown/Review

I don't know about y'all, but I LOVED this weeks Dynamite! It was so good and we are ALMOST to Full Gear which is NEXT Saturday! I am pumped and I feel like this PPV is going to be a huge one. We've got a lot to unpack so let's get into it!

-Jay White and Juice Robinson vs. Adam Page and Christian Cage

This was a match I didn't know that I needed, to be honest. I loved everything about it! It was very upbeat and was very fun. We did see Nick get involved which resulted in Hook coming out to take him out. Shayna also got involved for a distraction which resulted in Hangman getting the upper hand.. resulting in a win for Hangman and Cage. 

-Lance Archer vs. Roderick Strong

This match was bonkers! And I loved every single second of it! There was a few segments before this match but we will get to that in just a second. Also note.. this was a falls count anywhere match, which made it even more insane. In the end, we saw Strong pick up the win and will now face MJF at Full Gear next week. While some people wanted Adam Cole to face him first, I can understand the wait. 

**Mercedes Mone was backstage doing an interview while Kris made herself known. She ended up taking out Kamille and put Mone through the backstage wall. Completely unpopular opinion, but can we please just have Kris take the win next week? I love Mone and all... but this run just isn't it. It's fallen very flat and it's not enjoyable. 

**In the ring we saw Tony Schiavone interview Will Ospreay. He took no time calling out Fletcher. Words were exchanged between the two (which was really good by the way) and it led to Fletcher challenging Will to a match at Full Gear. It was accepted and all hell broke loose. Archer and Brian Cage arrived to back Fletcher and Will Hobbs and Mark Davis arrived to back Ospreay. There was a massive brawl which started the match between Archer and Strong.

-Konosuke Takeshita vs. Adam Cole 

In another bleed over, Takeshita attacked Strong before Adam Cole came out for the match. Pretty much all hell broke loose once again. I really liked this match overall, and you could feel the importance of the result of this match.. however you have a champion and someone who just came back. You could kind of see what the result would be, it was just how. In the end, Takeshita pulled out MJF's diamond ring.. and used it on Adam Cole to get the win.

-Britt Baker vs. Penelope Ford 

I wanted to love this, and I did... however I am just a little conflicted with the booking. I love Britt but I also really love Penelope. This is week TWO she has lost and I just don't see why it's needed. Give this woman a win, give her a push. Instead you have two championships that are being held that aren't really doing shit. Mone was GIVEN her championship after just a month or two. And May's run hasn't exactly lived up to the hype.. and I love Mariah. Anyway, these two women did have a bit of chemistry.. which was good for the most part. But in the end, Britt was able to lock in the lockjaw for the win.

**Before the match: We saw Death Riders beating up JD Drake for no reason what so ever. Mox ended up giving a promo about Orange and the power Moxley had. Mark Briscoe/Rocky and OC did come out as well to exchange words.. and challenged Yuta to a match next week. This might be pretty good leading up to Full Gear. Mox and company did try to leave after that and Darby.. went nuts to attack all of them resulting in a brawl until The Death Riders were able to get away in the truck.

-Lio Rush vs. Swerve Strickland

Let me be very honest for a moment, I wasn't hype for this match at all leading up to Dynamite. I thought this was pretty much going to be a "throw away" match. BOYYYYY.. was I wrong. This match was pretty damn good and I thought both worked very well together. Very solid from start to finish. At the end, we did see Swerve pick up the win, clean. After the match Swerve called out Bobby.. and liked clock work, MVP and Bobby showed up to exchange words. Shelton Benjamin did attack Swerve from behind and was taken out once again.

*WHAT COULD HAPPEN: They've already planted it, and I really hope this DOES NOT happen. My thoughts are that most likely.. Bobby will win this match.. Do we really think he wouldn't win his first match in AEW?? But what if Swerve turns on Prince Nana in a SHOCKING turn of events. They've planted it before hand at the start of this feud. I would be so upset to be honest. 

-FTR vs. House of Black

This was one solid match. This was also a match where you really couldn't predict who would win overall. I personally wanted House of Black to win, because if we are being honest.. they haven't exactly had a great win in a bit. They've lost their last few matches and it was just about time to be honest. After one hell of a bout, The House of Black got the win and will now move on Full Gear! Heck yes! 

Things are heating up! 

Overall: 9.6/10

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...
