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...

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

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...
