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...

WWE Monday Night Raw (December 30th) Rundown/Review

 Oh this was a little bitter sweet.. I'll tell you. The last Monday Night Raw on USA Network. Next week we will finally be watching Raw on Netflix and boy... is it going to be HUGE! This week was very interesting, and we've got a lot to talk about. So... for the last time this year... let's get into it!

-I don't know how y'all feel.. but WWE keeps hitting with these openings, and this one didn't disappoint. The show opened with Joe and Wade introducing Jey Uso.. however, they were interrupted by The New Day instead. The boos were there, and they didn't hold back once again. I am loving this by the way! Lol! Not long into that, Jey went ahead and came out to join in on the fun of booing the New Day. After that was said and done Jey went on to call out Drew.. however it was Solo that came on the screen to talk about how he would finally defeat Roman next week.. and be the last one standing at the Tribal Chief. This was a distraction as well.. as Drew was able to attack Jey to close out the segment. Again.. with multiple stories in this, and being able to pull it off.. wonderful! 

-Otis vs. Chad Gable

I have mixed feelings about this overall. This has been something that has NEEDED to happen, but I feel like it easily could keep going too. I really wish Otis could have gotten a win.. he deserves it, and if you think about it.. it could have been THE final straw for Chad. I am very interesting to see how this story line moves forward.. if Chad will really move on or if there is more to it all. With all the talk about "this is over" posting online.. it makes me believe there WILL in fact be more. 

**We saw one hell of a promo/package from Liv and Rhea ahead of their match on Raw next week. With the saying "this has to end" being thrown around.. I have a feeling it will in fact be the end of this saga. I'll be sure to break down Netflix later on in this blog and give my full predictions. 

-R Truth vs. Dunne

There wasn't a match. This was pretty much a waste and could have been simply done backstage. While R-Truth was making his entrance.. Pete attacked Truth from behind throwing the match out all together. 

-Dakota Kai vs. Zoey Stark

This match was pretty good for the most part, you can tell both women really wanted the win. It wasn't very hard (if you look at the card) to see who would win.. and in the end, it was Dakota picked up the win to move on to the finals. Could we possibly see Kai and Iyo in the finals to face each other.. Hmm...

-Damian Priest and The War Raiders vs. The Judgment Day

I enjoyed this match very much! The only thing I really don't care for is the same motions of this story line. It's never ending and honestly.. it's the SAME SHIT. What is the end game for all of this exactly? Because I am completely dumbfounded. I'll love to see more of a change on this but.. only time will tell. In the end, it was Priest and War Raiders that picked up the win. This didn't last long due to Finn getting the cheap beat down on DP. Of course this is going to continue. And did anyone catch Finn telling Raquel to tell Liv good luck on her match on Monday? Is Finn going to cost her? Or will it be Becky?? Hmm.. 

- Sheamus/Ludwig Kaiser

We saw Ludwig come to the ring to call out Bron, however.. this didn't last long due to Sheamus returning and the two went to brawling. I have a feeling this starts the final journey for Ludwig to get the championship.. it's for sure his time. I'd love to see him holding a title before Summer. 

-Lyra Valkyria vs. Iyo Sky

This match took me by complete surprise to be honest. I fully expected Iyo to take this win very easy and quick.. BOYYYY was I wrong. These women put on one hell of show and I was very impressed. In the end, it was Lyra that picked up the shocking win to face Dakota in the finals. Soo... this makes me wonderful, who will actually win? My full guess would be Dakota.. but you can never be sure. 

-CM Punk and Seth Rollins Face-to-Face

Holy shat. If you haven't watched this promo/face to face.. please stop what you are doing, and come back to talk about it. I can't even fully recap this.. but it was INTENSE. I really loved it and the intense atmosphere. This really adds to next week and what will happen. If I am not mistaken.. this will be the main event and from the looks of it.. they will tear each other completely apart. 

Overall: 9.2/10

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

NETFLIX CARD AND PREDICTIONS:

*Tribal Combat: Roman vs Solo (Prediction: Roman wins and The Rock will return)

 *WWE Women's World Championship (Last Woman Standing): Liv vs Rhea (Prediction: Becky will return to cost Liv the title)

CM Punk vs Seth Rollins: Predictions: Seth will win 

Jey Uso vs. Drew McIntyre: Drew will win

John Cena’s retirement tour begins (this makes me so sad and worried as the same time...)

**Wyatt Sicks and The Final Testament will have a promo/segment. I am hoping this will be in ring.. and will finally lead to Uncle Howdy vs Kross at The Royal Rumble.

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

UP NEXT: AEW Wednesday Night Dynamte

**I am pumped for this and it will be the first time Dynamite will be on Max! I have a feeling this will be a big one.

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...
