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 (Dec 27th) Rundown/Review

I tell you what.. I just am not having the best time with my blog. If you'll notice, I skipped Wednesday Night Dynamite this week.. and to be honest, I just didn't feel like doing it. This week has been so stressful and I just didn't have it in me. I had to really take a step back and think about doing this one today.. Last night James decided he wanted to party.. so what started as bedtime at 7:30pm, ended up being 11:45pm before there was any sleeping. Even after that.. I didn't go to bed until damn near 2am. I am hoping after tonight my drive for wrestling will be back a little. Tonight is World's End for AEW and it's suppose to be a huge one. It's the final show until AEW goes to Max.. 

Last night was also the FINAL Smackdown before they go to 3 hours next week. We are also going into a fun time with WWE, as in almost one week Raw will be on Netflix! It's been said the 1st Raw on Netflix will be one of THE biggest to date. We'll see about that... We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!

-Opening the show it was the video package of KO and Cody Rhodes and everything that went down at Main Event. Nick was shown talk about how KO still had the Winged Eagle belt and said he was NOT the champ. After that Nick said Kevin had until the end of the night to return the belt or there would be consequences. I smell another match, somehow... Monday Night Raw? Rumble?

-Bianca Belair, Naomi and Bayley vs. Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton and Candice LeRae 

I enjoyed this match pretty good for the most part. I really loved how these women have such great in ring chemistry together. Overall, it was enjoyable.. and of course there is history between the women. We saw once again.. another opportunity to cash in on Nia.. but that was stopped by Candice. Tiffy and Candice ended up getting into an argument, which allowed Naomi to pin Candice for the win. I don't like that very much.. due to the fact they keep teasing her cash in, which makes me think she won't do it successfully. They did the same thing with Damian and of course.. he won... but I just can't see this happening 2 years in a row. If they make her cash in unsuccessful.. I feel they ruined a big moment and a lot of time with her having the briefcase. 

-Braun Strowman vs. Austin Theory

This match was okay for the most part. It was a pretty fun match overall as well. Austin Theory shows once again his strength, but it just wasn't enough this time. I am still not over the whole tease of Theory and Waller splitting.. they just kind of forgot about it. I would love to see them feud going into Wrestlemania, resulting in a match between the two. But.. we've got time... so only time will tell.

-The Street Profits vs. Angel and Berto

This match was fun and while I wasn't sure at first.. I enjoyed it. This came after a backstage issue where Pretty Deadly told Street Profits that Angel/Berto were the ones that attacked them a few weeks ago. Things have kind of fallen flat since MCMG lost the titles.. I'd love to see more of a story line with this moving forward. Now, I completely understand that there is a story... it just seems to be at a stand still. Alex Shelley lost to Johnny (after he needed help) and then they are just going to leave it at that?? Huh... Maybe since next week will be 3 hours.. we will see more. 

**Chelsea Green celebrated her US Championship win, and it was wonderful! I loved this whole segment! Also... was that a dig at Piper? Are we going to see a split sooner than later? Hmm.. after the whole thing, we saw Michin come out and go for the attack.. resulting in Chelsea taking off.

-Carmelo Hayes vs. Sami Zayn

This match came after Hayes interrupted Sami and Nick in a conversation. I'll say.. while this whole episode was a little bland, this match really made up for it. I loved it! In the end.. Hayes avoided a Helluva Kick and took off from Strowman who ended up putting him back in the ring. The new Bloodline attacked Sami.. and while Strowman did his best to help but was overpowered. 

-At the end of the show Kevin Owens showed up with the title, and was given an ultimatum by Nick. Right after this, Cody showed up. A ladder match was propose by Cody.. to settle it once and for all and it was then made official. In good KO fashion.. attacked Cody and then stomped on his already injured neck. This should be interesting..

Overall: 6.9/10

=============================================================

We are going into a hell of a time within wrestling for the next two weeks. TONIGHT is World's End with AEW.. and next week will be 6 full hours of WWE wrestling. The following week will be the premier of Raw on Netflix!

-It was announced Rhea vs Liv will now be a Last Woman Standing.
-Who will come out champ at World's End?
-Will there be any returns?
-Will World's End have any returns or debuts?
-Will we see anything from Uncle Howdy?

-I'll be doing my best to LIVE tweet tonight! Be sure to follow along! 

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...
