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 (Jan 15th) Rundown/Review

It isn't a huge surprise that I haven't been doing AEW blogs recently.. and to be honest I didn't want to do this one. But.. I made the choice to go ahead and get my feelings out there about it. I will say..it was better than last week. However I still have my problems with the overall outcome. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it.

-Kenny Omega vs. Brian Cage (w/ Lance Archer)

I don't exactly know the story behind this match.. or if this one was just a happy return match. Regardless, I thought this match was pretty good overall. Both men work wonderful together! In the end it was Kenny that got the win. However that didn't stop the beat down afterwards. This led Ospreay to come help, but both men were over taken by The Don Callis family. Could we be seeing a tag team or trios in the mix sooner than later within this group? 

-Swerve Strickland/Ricochet 

As much as I don't want to say it.. I am actually enjoying this feud. While I wasn't too sure or thrilled about it at first.. having Ricochet in this situation works! We've never been able to see Richochet like this, and to be honest.. it's fun and interesting. Ricochet did come to the ring but was over come with "booing".. this was until Nana came out to hit Richochet with a chair. Swerve followed and the two took it out of the ring and into the crowd. I have a feeling this overall feud will be pretty intense. 

-The Hurt Syndicate vs. Private Party and Mark Briscoe

Nope. I didn't like this at all. First of all.. Private Party went through IT to get these titles and for them to have to defend this like this and within this story line is insane in the worst way. The match itself wasn't too good. I couldn't put my finger on it, but it just didn't click. But in the end, it was Hurt Syndicate got the win. PLEASE for the love of God don't take the titles off Private Party this soon. AT LEAST push it to Revolution in March. 

-MJF/Jeff Jarrett Promo

I won't say much about this, but omg. I honestly don't know how to feel about this one.. it was intense for one. The two went back and forth with the insults.. crossing the line that is for sure. It wasn't until MJF made comments about Owen Hart.. that Jeff snapped. The two went at it until they were broken up. Overall... yikes.

-Christian Cage (w/ The Patriarchy) vs. Hook (w/ Katsuyori Shibata)

I've been waiting for this match and to be honest... I really enjoyed it. It wasn't just a simple match and it was one that took Hook to his limit. I do feel both Christian and Hook work very well together, and hope we can see it again sooner than later. However things took a turn when The Patriarchy got involved resulting in a DQ.. and the beat down started. The shock of the night was when Joe returned to help out his friends to end the segment! The group is back together! 

-Women's Casino Gauntlet for Women's World Championship Opportunity

In this we saw:

  1. Kris Statlander
  2. Jamie Hayter
  3. Megan Bayne (FINALLY)
  4. Julia Hart
  5. Willow Nightingale
  6. Toni Storm
  7. Harley Cameron

I really liked this! And did anyone catch the AMAZING chemistry that Kris and Megan had in the ring.. please give me 20. Overall, this was really fun and interesting to say the least. But in the end.. it was Toni Storm that got the win! Hmmm and against Mariah May... this story line might be a good one after all.

- AEW World Championship: Jon Moxley (c) vs. Powerhouse Hobbs

I enjoyed it for the most part but something was just missing. I will say.. Hobbs did amazing and the match was intense. It took some time but Mox was able to get the win.. but not by pinning. I feel that is a bit important to point out. There was a after match beat down.. and FTR and Cope came to make the save. However.. it was a little late for that. 

Overall: 7.8/10

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

I love AEW and have since the start. I just wish there was a little MORE into the story lines. I am still holding on to it getting better... 

UP NEXT: WWE Friday Night Smackdown

-Will we see The Wyatt Sicks FINALLY?
-Bayley vs Tiffy
-Will anyone else be transferred from Raw/Smackdown?
-Will The Street Profits return??

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...
