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 Dynamite (Dec 4th) Rundown/Review

Sadly, we didn't get to watch Dynamite live like we wanted to, but I am doing my best to keep up with it moving forward. Last week was rough, and to be honest.. this week is too... BUT I am doing my best to work with it all. I'll be honest... I am a little burnt out with AEW right now. And of course.. this comes not long after I really start getting back into WWE. This happens some times.. BUT.. I feel like by World's End.. things will be much better. These feelings pop up sometimes.. and guess what? That's okay! 

We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!

-Shelton Benjamin vs. Kyle Fletcher

I wasn't really sure about this match but as time went on.. it ended up being really good. These two work AMAZINGLY together and I loved it! I'd love to see them work together more, to be honest. Kyle is doing HUGE things and I can't wait to see how he will fair through this tournament. In the end.. Kyle cheated to get this win.. which did take me by complete surprise. He was able to use the ropes without the ref seeing this.. Things are heating up, I'll say. I can't wait to see how this will play out overall.

-Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal

This was okay for the most part, but didn't expect the winners. While it didn't really click at first.. it made since at the end. It was Kyle O'Rilley and Adam Cole that were the final two.. and they will face each other.. to see who will face MJF at World's End. Hmm.. I have a feeling it will be Kyle.. pushing this feud out more for Adam Cole and MJF. I do have a feeling this is going to be a good one tho.These two have a hell of a past.

**We did see Hook come to the ring to call out Nick and the rest of The Patriarchy. While detracted by Christian coming from the stage, it was Nick and Kip that attacked Hook from behind. Hook's hand ended up being smashed between two steel chairs. Hmm..

**Backstage we also saw Mercedes with a little interview from Renee. I'll just be honest.. with the women's roster being stacked right now.. having TWO titles that are being used like this is very upsetting. You have two women that aren't hardly seen or defending their titles and are in pretty bland story lines. I am very disappointed in Tony for this right now. I am PRAYING things will get better by or after World's End.

-Max Caster vs. Swerve Strickland

Squash. What ever is going on with Max and this weird ass story line.. I wish it would stop. I understand his little gimmick right now.. but this is kinda stupid. Just let the man turn and have it move forward. This wasn't even a match really.. Swerve beat his ass. lol!

-PAC vs. Jay White

Now this was a match I very much enjoyed! I don't know what happened.. but I am loving this with Jay White right now. I haven't always been a fan.. but something has just switched in me and I am here for it all. We did see Yuta try to get involved but it didn't stop Jay from picking up the win. After the match we saw Yuta get hit with a Blade Runner.. and Shafir showed up for a stare down, only for Mox to attack from behind. Hangman did show up as well.. ready to go with Mox, but Orange came out of no where and tried to strangle Mox with a cord. LIKE WHAT. The segment ended with White/Page/OC taking out the Death Riders. It looks like we are getting a fatal four way... prob at World's End. I wouldn't mind that at all!

-Anna Jay vs. Penelope Ford 

I loved this.. I really did, just as I have with their previous matches. There were some moments of splotches.. but overall very good. I could watch them every week.. I also wish they would let Ford pick up some wins as well. She deserves them! Anna Jay did pick up the win, and right after called out Mone. The two ALMOST were ready to fight, but Mone chickened out at the last second. PLEASE for the love of God let Anna Jay take this title from here RIGHT NOW. Please and thank you.

-Brody King vs. Claudio Castagnoli

This match was freaking awesome! I had to fight to stay awake but I knew this was going to be a good one. I was right! These two tore the house down and really gave it to each other in the best way. I didn't expect Claudio to pick up the win, but he did. I have a feeling this tournament is going to be AMAZING moving forward. With Claudio up to 6 points.. will he be able to move on to win the whole thing?? Only time will tell! 

Overall: 7.3/10

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

I really hope things pick up moving forward with AEW. Don't get me wrong, I love it and all.. everything is just in a tough spot right now I feel. You have multiple people out, and I honestly feel that some of the story lines are questionable. You have two women titles that are kind of being held hostage with bland story lines.. and you have the men's in limbo with one HELL of a story line. I think moving INTO World's End it will shape up, it's just it getting there. Things do have to change if they are going into MAX like this. Only time will tell...

UP NEXT: Tonight is WWE Friday Night Smackdown! SO MUCH could happen! I'll be doing my best to live tweet (with a bit of a delay) so come say hi! 

until next time

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...
