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 Monday Night Raw (Dec 23rd) Rundown/Review

I am finally back! What a freakin time we've had the last week. Once again, a hell of a sickness hit the household and we've been out. What started out as an ear infection for James.. ended up being a cold too. And it's safe to say that I caught it as well. Thankfully I am on the upper side of it all! The next two weeks will be pretty good in the wrestling world and you should get excited! Not only do we have World's End on Saturday.. but in less than TWO WEEKS.. we will see Raw on Netflix!We've got a lot to unpack, so let's get into it!

-Drew/Sami Promo

If you haven't watched this promo, I think you should. These two went back and forth before things unfolded into a brawl. However it wasn't too long until we saw Jey return after being attacked to help out Sami! While I wasn't too sure about this overall angle as it started, I am really starting to enjoy this story line. It will be very interesting to see how it all plays out moving forward. 

-Women's Intercontinental Championship Tournament: Iyo Sky vs. Natalya vs. Alba Fyre

I thought this overall match was pretty good. I was fully expecting Nattie to win.. honestly, because she hasn't won anything any a while in singles.. and she hasn't been back for very long either. It did take me by surprise when Iyo picked up the pin fall to move on in the tournament. I have a feeling we just might see Dakato and Iyo face off in the finals. Hmm.. are we seeing a heel turn in Damage Control.. 

-Chad Gable vs. Akira Tozawa

I ain't thrilled. Simple as that. Now.. don't get me wrong... I love Otis and Tozawa, but this just wasn't it. Where was this previously.. after the Wyatt Sicks situation?? I do love they are going back to this, just so we can see Chad vs Otis at some point in the near future. I honestly believe Otis deserves a big win and against Chad would be perfect! 

-Damian Priest vs. Dominik Mysterio

Can we please move on? Please.. I can see moving forward in the story line (kinda) but it's the same situation constantly. I can see how they are already making the right steps for the turn on Finn.. and this was another step. We can honestly say this wasn't a real match.. due to Finn getting involved. We also saw The War Raiders come to the aid of Damian, which was such a nice touch. I have a feeling going into Raw on Netflix we will see the end of Judgement Day and this whole feud. 

-The Miz vs. Dexter Lumis

I wish this match would have been longer, but I can understand. I did LOVE Dexter's entrance, so creepy in the best way. This match didn't last very long due to Final Testament getting involved resulting in a DQ. The rest of the Wyatt Sicks did come to the aid of Dex, except Uncle Howdy.. who was no where to be seen. It's also good to mention we saw a little "clue" being flashed across the screen after Miz come out saying.. "I Opened The Door".. so what does this mean? Is this a reference to Alexa Bliss? Or is there something else in store for Uncle Howdy a little more sinister? Only time will tell.. I can tell you, while this story line is slow, it will be a MAJOR part of 2025! If you are a little bummed about how slow this is all going, this let me let you in on this.. there will be ups and downs, and if you will also remember... Bray and Taylor love the little details and long story lines. Be patient my friends, it's worth it!

-Drew McIntyre vs. Sami Zayn

After that promo from earlier in the show, this match was so good! The energy of it all was really set in stone. It was really hard for me to pick who should win because I love both men.. but it was already stated that Sami has never beaten Drew clean. That was a dead give away.. In the end, it was in fact Drew that picked up the win to end the night. Hm...are we now set for Drew vs Jey?? I'd love to see it!

Overall: 8.9/10

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

UP NEXT: AEW Christmas Wednesday Night Dynamite 

-Will there be any returns or shocking change of titles at World's End?
-Who will walk about NEW AEW Champ?
-Will it be the end of Nia and Tiffy?
-What other matches could be set for Raw on Netflix premier??

So much happening, and I can't wait! 

xoxo,
Chels

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...
