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 Friday Night Smackdown Rundown/Review (Nov 15th)

 We are only a few weeks away from Survivor Series and I am SO READY! There are so many matches that haven't been announced and will be hopefully.. this week, so we have A LOT to unpack. Let's get into it!

-This week, Smackdown opened with Cody Rhodes coming out to kick off the show. Of course, we saw a good ole replay of everything that went down last week with KO and Randy.. and The American Nightmare was pissed. In Cody fashion, he called out KO for his actions but it wasn't KO that answered the call. Nick Aldis came out and revealed that KO was not in the building due to Nick not thinking it was the best idea.. The two went back and forth about how they'd handle this situation and Cody said he would not be waiting long for an answer. Hmm..

-B-Fab vs. Bayley vs. Candice LeRae

This was a match that I didn't know that I needed. Um.. B-Fab.. baby girl where have you been? Because YES MA'AM! I hope this isn't the last time we see you in the ring like this. Overall this match was pretty good, there were some messy moments but that is okay. In the end, and as expected.. we saw Bayley pick up the win to move forward in this tournament. 

-LA Knight vs. Berto

LA Knight had an open challenge and the exchange between Escobar/Elektra/Berto was pretty good and funny. While Escobar was the one who accepted the challenge, LA said he had done this and that.. and picked Berto. I thought this was a very good call and these two work very well together. I wouldn't mind seeing more of Berto in the mix moving forward. Like clockwork tho, LA Knight picked up the win and retained his title! After the match LA was attacked by Shinsuke Nakamura in a shocking turn of events. I don't know how to feel about this.. While I LOVE LA Knight I really don't want him to lose it to Shinsuke after only 100ish days. But.. I do know that it has been a while since we've been Shinsuke and does deserve another run. At least let this man keep the title until next year.. please. 

-Motor City Machine Guns vs. Street Profits

This match was PRETTY DAMN GOOD.. regardless of the result of the end. I thought these four men worked so well together, the chem was there my friends. Both teams are well loved and with the tension of The Street Profits.. you never know what will happen. I also couldn't say that MCMG would drop the titles like this. I could FOR SURE see them having the titles until after Wrestlemania. In a shocking turn of events we saw Ciampa attack the Profits which caused a DQ ending. Gargano did his best to clam things down but was shoved out of the way by Ciampa. After DIY took off up the ramp, MCMG did his best to apologize to the Street Profits but Dawkins took out Alex Shelley and walked away. Hmm.. so many things could take place. Are we going to see DIY and Profits next to face MCMG at Survivor Series?? Singles match of Alex Shelley and Dawkins?? What about a triple threat at SS?? With less than two weeks until the big PLE.. they are for sure getting the ball rolling. ALSO... can we please talk about Shelley getting launched over the announce table?? Because oh my God. 

**Sami and The Usos were backstage talking to Roman.. telling him they haven't been able to find a 5th member. Solo and his Bloodline made their way to the ring and the OG Bloodline followed. A brawl took place and Bronson Reed ended up coming to the aid of Solo.. taking out everyone of the OG Bloodline. So... let me get this straight.. we are getting Seth Rollins for the OG team? Good God.

-Nia Jax vs. Naomi

While I am not a huge fan of Naomi, I'll give her this. She is very good in the ring and her character is wonderful. This match was very good in my opinion, and for some reason I had it in my head that she was going to shock everyone and win. However this just wasn't the case. I am convinced that she will be winning the Royal Rumble but that is just me. We saw Raquel and Liv attack Belair and Cargill backstage. Tiffy did show up and get involved to help Nia out. Like clock work, Bayley came out too to help Naomi. We also saw Candice come to help Nia as well. Now.. I am FULLY convinced that Tiffy will not be successful in cashing in. Nia was able to retain her title in the end. 

Overall: 8.4/10

UP NEXT: Monday Night Raw

We've got SO MUCH to look forward to in the next TWO weeks with wrestling. AEW will be having Full Gear this Saturday and next after that will be Survivor Series. Who know what will happen or who will show up. SS is one of those PPVs that anything can happen. 

-Monday will be FINALLY be making both War Games official?
-Will there be more matches announced?
-This is the FINAL Wednesday Night Dynamite before Full Gear

This will be a pretty busy week for me, so bare with me on content. I'm doing my best!

until next time

xoxo,

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...
