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...

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 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...
