WWE Monday Night Raw Rundown

We are so close to the road to Wrestlemania! We are a little over a month away from the Royal Rumble and things are getting HOT! Our next big WWE program will be Monday Night Raw: One Year on Netflix and things could change in a big way. Let's not forget outside of that.. we do have an AEW PPV in a few weeks as well. We have a lot to talk about from Raw, so let's get into it! Kicking off: Gunther After his win over Cena in his final match.. things were up to 11 with this opening. I don't give a damn what anyone says.. this was amazing. You can hate Gunther all you like (or even Triple H) but that doesn't change that he is now one of the best in the business. I love this for him. I love the "I don't give a shit" attitude.. the arrogant vibe, and the shit eating smile. It's perfect and I can't wait to see where go with this next. I did see them teasing AJ Styles... which would be pretty damn good as well.  The Usos vs. New Day I don't like it. We...

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 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 Monday Night Raw Rundown/Review

What a time, everyone. I have been going going going for the last week or so.. so much that I haven't blogged. I hate when I have to skip weeks, but to be honest... sometimes it is like that. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it! -Kicking off Raw: Rhea Ripley We love Mami.. and she is MAD. Rhea addresses the attack of Asuka from last week.. which of course resulted in Iyo to come out as well. It wasn't long until Asuka and Kairi made themselves known and a brawl was set. This time.. it was Iyo that was misted by Asuka. My guess is that we are going to see some tag team action much sooner than later. I enjoyed this very much overall.. and am pretty happy that we are having Rhea and Iyo set away from the title action. But the question is.. when it is all set and done, are we going to see Rhea or Iyo turn on one another in a shocking turn of events? -Intercontinental Championship: Dominik Mysterio vs. Rusev I won't lie.. I was a little shocked about this...

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...
