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...

WWE Saturday Night Main Event (Dec 14th) Rundown/Review

 I don't know exactly what I was expecting with this, but I was pretty impressed overall. The whole set up was wonderful! From the set, the ropes, the dress code.. it all looked amazing! Let's not forget Pat and Jesse doing their thing in the best way they know how. We've got a lot to unpack, so let's get into it!

-Sami Zayn vs. Drew McIntyre 

This match was pretty damn good, from start to finish. Let's not forget.. the crowd was red hot for this. I wasn't exactly sure where this feud was going into this.. but now I am all for it. It seems Drew is going for Roman? I don't mind that at all! These two set the bar pretty high for the entire show, I'll be brave enough to say. In the end, it was Drew that brought home the win. I'll be pretty excited to see how this goes moving forward. 

-Women's World Championship Match: Iyo Sky vs. Liv Morgan

This match didn't go as I thought it did, but was still pretty good in my book. There were a few messy spots that were a little worry some.. I thought Liv broke her nose from that kick from Iyo.. later it was posted that she is fine, just a bloody nose overall. Liv's final move on Iyo looked insane and a little choppy.. but it allowed Liv to get the win and retain her title. I am pretty shocked there wasn't an interference to be honest.. and I am glad there wasn't. Liv's celebration was cut short due to Rhea making herself know.. and to let Liv know that this wasn't over between them. Hmm.. this makes you wonder who will win the Rumble. Will it be Rhea? Iyo... or a returning Becky? Could we even see Charlotte being thrown in the mix?

-World Heavyweight Championship Match: Damian Priest vs. Finn Bálor vs. Gunther

Another match that really took me by surprise. I didn't expect it to be THIS good! I was going into this match fully expecting Finn to steal the win.. OR having Dom come in to help Damian pick up the win. None of that took place,but what did take place was one HELL of a match. For me, it had me on the edge of my seat.. and in the end, it was Finn that took the pin for Gunther to retain his title. Once again we see Damian be saved from the "loss" and Finn taking the L ... maybe we are seeing the FINAL curtain call for Judgement Day. With Finn losing. it does make things interesting moving forward. While I really wanted DP to win.. Gunther will now be going into Rumble season as champ.. and for the love of God.. don't let Cena win it. I was thinking Punk or The Rock.. but I've seen ALOT of people talking about Cena and it being his last year. Will he beat the record? Hm..

-Women's United States Championship Match: Michin vs. Chelsea Green

I've been SO conflicted with this match. I love both Michin and Chelsea Green.. both women have done wonderful things, and honestly.. both deserve it. The match was okay overall, nothing majorly great.. but it was enjoyable. In the end, we saw Chelsea Green become the 1st ever Women's United States Champ! How freakin cool! Very much deserved, after all she has done since coming back to the WWE. Who will be the 1st to challenge Chelsea moving forward? And for the love of God.. someone give Nick a drink after this. 

-Undisputed WWE Championship Match: Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens

Oh my God. This match was wonderful and down right a slug fest. These two put on one hell of a show.. and the ending really took me by surprise overall. Towards the end, we saw not only one.. but two refs get taken out. Kevin was SET to win but when things didn't go his way.. things turned even uglier. A chair got involved but it wasn't KO that used it... it was Cody! WHAT.. and just like that.. he retained his title. But that wasn't all.. after everything was said and done Kevin (off air) attacked Cody and gave him a pile driver. Of course this led to Cody being taken out on a stretcher. the whole dramatics. Video also had shown Triple H and KO getting into it at the front of the stage. Things got heated and there was pushing of each other. I wish all of that could have been on TV.. but I can understand to an extent. This brings to the Rumble... Will there be a rematch? Will Randy return? Will KO ever win the title??

Overall: 9.1/10

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

UP NEXT: WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW

-How will the Wyatt Sicks respond to their loss?
-Will Drew go after Jey once again? or Punk?
-Will Liv still be against Rhea? Or a new challenger?

*I'm 90% sure that this will be a double taping.. so be clear of spoilers!

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...
