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...
This Dynamite had just a little something to it, and it was one I won't forget! I loved the vibe of this episode and it just really got things heated for what is to come at Full Gear in just about THREE weeks. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!
-The show kicked off with Orange Cassidy.. and he was pissed. I love this side of OC.. because we don't really see it that often. It looks like we are for sure getting OC vs Mox at Full Gear! This one is going to be good!
-Adam Cole vs. Buddy Matthews
I honestly didn't expect this match to be this damn good, but here we are. This match was IT and I would love to see more. There was a few moments that it wasn't looking to good for Cole.. as he really sold the "ankle isn't well enough" parts. This did make me a little nervous, but loved how Buddy was able to really piss Cole off to get him back in the mix of things. In the end, and in a shocking turn of events.. Adam Cole picked up the win. The two men did shake hands in the ring.. and the lights went out. When the lights came back on.. it wasn't Buddy who was shaking hands with Cole.. it was Malakia Black. Are we getting these two next? Because yes please.
*We heard a little more from Kyle Fletcher and in the mix.. was waiting for Will to show up. The music hit.. but it wasn't Will that came out. It was Mark Davis! WHAT.. this threw me for 20 loops. I didn't expect him at all! You could tell there was so much disappointment from Mark.. and how he will have to make the choice. Will he side with Ospreay? Or will Mark turn as well? Only time will tell, and it's going to be so good!
-Mox Promo/In Ring
Mox and his crew came to the ring to respond to Orange from earlier in the show. We saw (in another shocking turn of events) Mox threatened to have Yuta given the same fate as Chuck Taylor from last week.. by putting a chair around his neck. Of course.. Cassidy made the save but was beaten down as well... even by Yuta. What the hell is even happening right now.. We saw The Dark Order come out to help as well as Darby coming down from the sky to join in on the battle. This took me out.. LOL! We even had Top Flight throw into the mix. I have a theory on what could be happening but we will get into that later.
-AEW World Tag Team Championship: Private Party vs. The Young Bucks
Coming into this match, I didn't know really what to think. I wasn't sure who would win.. or if it would be a steal for the Bucks. Nope.. this match was freakin AWESOME. I loved it from start to finish, and I'll be so bold to say.. if you haven't seen this match.. please go watch! In the end.. we saw NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPS.. When I tell you I was SCREAMING as they hit the 1,2,3! This comes after 5 years.. This was a well deserved situation and I couldn't be anymore happy for Private Party! All I ask.. is their run be worth it and good. Please don't let us down Tony! Afterwards into the show.. we saw The Bucks take off saying that they are done for awhile and it was too much with Mox basically.. that they were going to work from home for a while. Lol! Hmm.. this adds to my theory.
-Kris Statlander vs. Kamille
I loved this match.. but not the story line. The match itself was pretty solid! These women work very well together and you could tell throughout the entire bout. In the end, we saw Kris take the win. This was shocking.. but I can understand why. Doesn't this mean Kris will be facing Mone sooner than later? They did tease a split between Mone and Kamille.. and it is noticeable that everyone just isn't into Mone like they use to... Let's just be honest.. her hype isn't what it was suppose to be. Agreed?
-Swerve Strickland vs. Shelton Benjamin
Okay, can I get like 14 of these like ASAP?? I loved this and everything about it. My husband and I went around and around about how this could end.. and we were both pretty shocked about the ending. These two work amazing together and it shows big time. It made it to where you really couldn't tell who would win. It did shock me that Swerve picked up the win, but as time went on afterwards.. it made sense. After the match we saw MVP make a phone call.. and then the lights went out. Who comes out? It was BOBBY LASHLEY! I didn't expect this at all! I knew he was coming in.. but not like this. I am HYPE for this! PLEASE use this man better than he was in WWE. After Bobby made his entrance.. there was a huge attack on Swerve and Prince Nana to end the show. Ooo.. things are really heating up! I am guessing this will result in a match at Full Gear? Also.. please don't make this a situation where Swerve will turn on Nana and join in... because I don't think my heart can take it. They've already introduced it and it was "denied" but.. it's still there, you know?
Overall: 9.3/10
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am pretty excited about this weekend! We have Friday Night Smackdown tonight and of course it is recorded from last week.. due to being in Saudi for Crown Jewel. If you don't want spoilers.. once again, don't go looking for them. I WILL NOT be posting Crown Jewel in real time due to my husband not being home. That is one rule we have.. we don't watch PPVs without each other. During that time, I'll be doing my best to avoid any spoilers. I'll start posting Saturday night as I am watching on a re-run.
UP NEXT: Friday Night Smackdown
-Who else is really excited for Crown Jewel? I have a feeling there will be at least ONE surprise.
-Will Tiffy cash in??
-Will someone interfere in Cody/Gunther match? Hmm..
-Is anyone else really happy with The Wyatt Sicks right now? I am LOVING this slow burn story line.
We are also THREE weeks away from Full Gear and things are getting very interesting to say the least. Here is my de-lulu stance on it all:
-I am very confident that AEW is doing the Invasion story line. I am also very confident that Shane is involved as the main person over Mox. Over time.. it will be Mox (and the heels) verses OC (and the baby faces) until further notice. This is until The Bucks return with Kenny to "save" the company. I think (done right) this will be HUGE for AEW. I am also PRETTY SURE all of this will unfold at Full Gear when it's OC vs Mox for the title.
*I am a bit late on my posting.. this week has been really hard on me mentally and emotionally. My son (James) was diagnosed with level 3 autism.. and it rattled me pretty good on Wednesday. I love my sweet boy very much and he is my only child. He is well taken care of and has a HUGE support system moving forward.. but it won't stop my mama heart from hurting.
until next time
xoxo,
Chels
