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 Crown Jewel (Nov 2nd) Rundown/Review

 Well, Crown Jewel has come and gone.. and it sure was something else, let me tell you! We've got a lot to unpack, so let's get into it!

-Bloodline(OG) vs. Bloodline(2.0)

I've seen a couple of people talk about how this match was lack luster and wasn't enough for them. My question is.. did y'all watch the rest of the PLE?? Because this had to be one of the best matches. I felt like the story was really told and you could feel the tension throughout the entire match. I really enjoyed it for the most part. However.. the ending is what took  me out. We saw Solo hit Roman with THREE Samoan Spikes.. to get the pin for the win. LIKE WHAT.. He pinned Roman?? Took me completely by surprise on this one. After the match Solo and his Bloodline went on to beat down the OG Bloodline.. because you know.. winning wasn't enough. But who makes the "save"? That would be Sami Zayn! We got a little worried when we thought he was working with Solo, but went on to help out the OG Bloodline. This is where things get a little dicey. During the fight there was a bit of a mix up.. and Sami ended up kicking Roman.. when Solo slipped out of the way. OH NO.. to end it all.. we see Sami, Jey, and Jimmy arguing in the ring. I'm tell you right now... they went quickly with reuniting the OG Bloodline because there is still tension between Jimmy, Jey, and Roman. But now they have FOUR weeks to bring Sami in after this mistake. That is FOUR Smackdowns to build up the story to make it work with War Games. 

-Belair and Cargill vs. Jackson and Legend vs. Sky and Sane vs. Green and Niven

This was the other good match in this PLE.. While there was a few mistakes throughout the match, it was still able to be saved and make everyone look good. Overall, I really couldn't tell who would take the win. My guesses would be either Belair and Jade would retain or we would see Iyo and Sane win. Very fun match in my opinion, and I'll go on to say that these women work fairly well together. In the end, Bianca and Jade picked up the win to retain! I am pretty interesting to see how this will go moving forward. Who will they face next?

-Seth Rollins vs. Bronson Reed

I love this feud. At first I wasn't 100% on this, but I am LOVING it and pray they give us more. This match was hard hitting and did such a good job at putting over Reed. This guy is IT! There is so much intensity in this feud and you can just feel the hate for each other. Seth does such a wonderful job with putting Reed over as well. We see Seth stomp Reed into the steps which results in a cut on his eye. After THREE more stomps, Seth picks up the win! I wasn't expecting this at all.. I could have sworn that Bronson would pick up the win. Right after the match Bronson got right up, staring straight at Seth the entire time. INSANE. Please tell me we are getting match number 3?? Because yes please.

-Liv Morgan vs. Nia Jax

Man.. this is where I am going to get annoying. What the hell was even this shit? Now, before we get started.. let me say my peace. I love Liv Morgan... she is wonderful and I believe she deserves the world. With that being said, this wasn't it. Nia deserved better.. she deserved a better ending that than. Of course we had Raquel and Dom helping out Liv to get the win. Let this woman win without help. What the hell happened with this? I am getting really sick of it overall and wish Judgement Day wasn't a thing anymore. While I am happy for Liv and all she has accomplished.. the ending should have been different. We also say Tiffy attempt to cash in but ended up not because of Nia and Raquel/Dom.

-Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens

This wasn't even a match, so..... What happened was.. these two just beat the hell out of each other (with KO being mainly in control) before the bell rang and they just went insane. We saw Randy give Adam Pearce an RKO (out of no where) and it went on from there. And yes.. Nick ran. LOL! This will be brought up I just know it. Also.. please let this be the start of a match between Nick and Adam at Survivor Series because I need it in my life. At the end, we saw KO put Randy through some tables to end it. I don't know what I expected for this match, but it wasn't this. I am more than certain we will see more of this on Smackdown next week.

-LA Knight vs. Andrade vs. Carmelo Hayes 

I enjoyed this match.. however it's just over done at this point. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it tho. All three men work wonderfully together but I hope this is the end of this feud. I'd love to see who else LA can fued with. The ending was pretty damn good.. as LA hit his finisher on both Andrade and Hayes at the same time.. and pinning Hayes to retain the tile.

-Gunther vs. Cody Rhodes

I felt like this match went on for forever. I can't tell you it was great nor bad.. it was just decent in my opinion. There was something different about this match, because you could really feel the intensity of it all. Gunther and Cody can work VERY well together and to be honest.. I expected someone to get involved. However, I was wrong. I am very much glad I was wrong on this.. because this match deserved it all in full without complications. At the end, I was more than convinced that Gunther has this.. and Cody would receive his first loss since Wrestlemania. Cody was able to counter a sleeper hold by rolling into a pin to pick up the win.

Overall: 7.3/10

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

I am just not a huge fan of Saudi PLEs.. But again.. that is just me. 

UP NEXT: Monday Night Raw

Remember: This MNR will be in Saudi as well! If I am not mistaken, it will be filmed TODAY around the same time of the PLE yesterday. Beware of spoilers! It will still air as the same time in the US as normal! 

until next time

xoxo,

WWE Monday Night Raw on Netflix Rundown (April 28th)

We've got one hell of a Monday Night Raw, and we've got a lot to talk about! Let's get into it! -Kicking off Monday Night Raw: Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Paul Heyman I thought this was wonderful! The promo that Seth gave was AMAZING and really gave a glimpse of what is to come within this group and story. Of course, we did have Sami come out to get a little promo with Seth as well.. and it was pretty damn good. I enjoyed it very much! I still fully believe that this was a push into the direction of Sami joining Seth/Bron/Paul shortly down the road. And this will come in the form of turning on Jey Uso.. I think it's going to be one of the best storylines this year to be honest.  -Rhea vs Roxanne  Are we finally getting Roxanne on the main roster? I hope so! I enjoyed this match overall, but wish it didn't end in a DQ.. I would have loved to have a clean match between these two. It does however look we will get Rhea NOT going for the title again right now (which...

WWE Friday Night Smackdown (April 11th) Rundown/Review

We are officially ONE WEEK away from Wrestlemania, and this one is going to be HUGE! I can't wait! We are going to talk a little bit about everything that has happened last night and then go straight into what I believe will happen next Sat and Sun! We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it! -Nick kicks off Smackdown with Randy  We got both men face to face in this, and I won't lie.. it was pretty damn good. Can we please see these two go at it at Mania?? It's been teased for far too long, and it would for sure deliver. However, before it could go any further.. Solo and Tama made themselves known. I think I can speak for everyone when I tell you that the air left everyone's body. But thankfully it was a set up for a tag team match between Randy/LA vs Tama/Solo.. -Women's Gauntlet Match Overall.. we kind of knew who would win this. I will say it was pretty good and nice to see all these teams go at it. I will also mention, whatever this is with Maxx...

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...
