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...
I'm a little late, you'll have to excuse me.. but I've been so sick lately with THE worst ear infection. It's seriously kicking my butt. This was THE final Raw before Survivor Series.. and it was something else. Let's get into it!
-Gunther kicked off Raw and was ready to do an interview and it wasn't long before things got heated between The Champ and Damian Priest... and it went on from there. In the end, Priest came out on top.. putting Gunther through the announce table with a Razor's Edge. I love this.. I really do, but they made it WAY to obvious with what will happen in the end.. and I'll get to this later.
-Dragon Lee and Rey Mysterio vs. American Made
At first I didn't think I was going to like this match... but it ended up being REALLY good. These two teams work very well together and even my husband liked it. In the end, we saw American Made pick up the victory.. which is much better than last weeks situation. Are we seeing American Made going for the titles anytime soon? I don't think I would mind that to be honest.
*Backstage we see Team Rhea (for War Games) arguing and fussing over the 5th woman to replace Jade.. Hmm.. how will this play out? If there are problems.. can they work through them in order to pick up the win on Saturday?
-Intercontinental Championship: Bron Breakker vs. Ludwig Kaiser
I wanted this match to be something great.. but the end ruined it. While at first I didn't care for Ludwig.. but now I kinda enjoy his work. This match was good overall... with just these two. But the match wasn't able to be finished due to Shamus causing a DQ. After a MASSIVE fight broke out.. we saw Adam come out to announce that it will be a triple threat at SS on Saturday for the title. No one asked for this. I didn't. In my opinion.. it was a waste of a match but... whatever.
**Who else is ready for Dom to turn on Finn? PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN NOW
-World Tag Team Championship: The War Raiders vs. Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh
Oh look... they defended the tag titles. I hope you can FEEL my eye roll right now. I don't like them as champs, I don't like this whole situation. Overall, the match was okay.. but in good Judgement Day fashion.. they had to play dirty retain their titles.
**The New Day 10 Year Celebration was announced for next Monday. They've been teasing this for MONTHS.. and now we are finally getting answers to what will happen. I'm FOR SURE looking forward to this.
- The New Day vs. Alpha Academy
This match wasn't long at all.. but so much happened at once. In the end.. Woods ended up getting pinned and resulting in a loss. Shat hit the fan folks.. After the match Woods and Kofi went to the back and all but threw the kitchen sink at each other. If you haven't watched this, PLEASE DO.. talk about INTENSE and they didn't let up on each other either.
What would happen: I am assuming that Big E will be returning with Woods and Kofi to celebrate the 10 years. In this time frame.. I couldn't tell you who could turn on who. Everyone kind of expects Woods to go off the deep end, but what if it's really Kofi? A heel Kofi?? Hmm.. Someone also said what if Big E just comes back and turns on the both of them? That would be a shock.. but I have a feeling who ever does turn will also turn on E as well.. resulting on him going away again if he isn't cleared. The segment alone has so much momentum.. and it has been going on for THREE months. I hope it's worth it.
-War Games Advantage Match: Bianca Belair vs. Nia Jax
I wasn't a huge fan of this match.. but did tell a bit of a story with the ending. Coming to the aid of Bianca was none other than Bayley.. in which has faced Nia previously (and lost the title to). With that.. Bianca was able to make the win and get the advantage for War Games. Does this mean that Bayley is the 5th woman.. it would make sense... but we already kind of knew that with WWE posting that this would be the first time Bayley wouldn't be in the War Games for the 1st time a couple of weeks ago. So.. kind of a give away.
Overall: 8.4/10
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**My predictions:
-Priest will NOT win the title back due to Finn.
-Priest WILL win the title back.. IF Finn gets involved and Dom stops him.
-Bron will RETAIN
-Charlotte returns after the Women's War Games
*We also saw another segment about the Wyatt Sicks. This time.. Scarlet was targeted by Nikki Cross!
**Alot of people were VERY upset about not seeing Uncle Howdy and them not getting a match at Survivor Series.. Please remember that not only has TAYLOR said that it will all be worth the wait.. but Windham as well. Bray Wyatt thrived off of making his story lines very well though out and would tell everyone to remain patient. I love it and the story telling.. It will just take some time, and I can understand why.
until next time
xoxo,
