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 Friday Night Smackdown (Jan 10th) Rundown/Review

**If it hasn't dawned on you.. you'll see once again I am not posting AEW content at the moment. I am still on the edge of just not wanting to watch anymore. While I LOVE AEW, right now.. it's just not my cup of tea. I am going to do my best to actually watch and write about it next week.. as it it a TV special. I've done this before with WWE, and honestly.. burn outs happen. And that's okay..

Last night was Smackdown, and to be honest.. it wasn't blow your mind great. It was just okay.. and from the sounds of it.. I wasn't the only one that felt that way. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!

**We are THREE weeks away from The Royal Rumble.. and we are heading full speed into new story lines and matches leading up to it. I am pretty pumped about it to be honest!

The opening of Friday Night Smackdown was pretty wild if you ask me.. but I can understand. Paul Heyman opened the show and talked about Roman winning back the Ulafala. It wasn't long until we saw Cody Rhodes.. in all Cody fashion. But that once again.. didn't last long because out comes KO to start his crap again. It wasn't long until the two started to go at it. Back in the ring.. we saw Heyman surrounded by Fatu and Tonga.. but Jimmy did try and make the save. However.. Fatu was able to over take him. In the end, Cody did come back to make the overall save to drive the two away. WILD..

-Chelsea Green vs. Michin

I was really hoping they didn't do this to both women, but here we are. I thought this was a Saturday Night Main Event match but I was wrong apparently. I would love to see BOTH of these women have a fair match with no one on the outside.. but we can't have that overall. Piper did make it a little hard for it to be fair and after a small match.. Chelsea was able to retain her title. I feel like Michin could win next, but I also wish they wouldn't wear out the matches between the two women. Kind of an over kill if you ask me. 

-Los Garzas vs. Pretty Deadly

This match came after four of the tag teams came to Nick wanting a match. So in Nick fashion, it will be Los Garzas and PD and then MCMG vs A Town Down Under.. an official tournament if you will.. I am assuming this will come to a head at The Royal Rumble? The match itself was short and not very eventful.. and we did see Los Garzas get a little help from their group. With this, they did pick up the win. This was very shocking.. but at the same time I am kind of glad they won. They have so much potential! 

-Shinsuke Nakamura vs. LA Knight 

A little bit of a hot take... LA should have never lost the title. I do like Shinsuke, but this last run has been stale to me. Sure.. the new style looks wonderful and interesting.. but it just isn't it for me. The match was okay for the most part. It did appear that LA had this match won.. but it ended in a DQ when Tonga and Fatu interfered. We should have known this would happen when LA locked the two out of the building. Jimmy and Cody made the save and there you have it.. you're main event. Shocking.

-A-Town Down Under vs. Motor City Machine Guns

I am a sucker for literately anything MCMG.. and in my personal opinion, this match was pretty great. I love the way these two teams work together. The match itself was fast paced and fun overall. I'd say they've had good practice working together since they've had multiple matches together on the LIVE tours within the last month. In the end, it was Motor City Machine Guns that got the win and move on to face Los Garzas next week on Smackdown! So does this mean will we will see MCMG vs DIY once again but this time on the big stage of The Royal Rumble?? Hmm.. could this also mean we see Street Profits get involved to move this match to Wrestlemania??

-Naomi vs. Bianca Belair vs. Bayley vs. Nia Jax

We saw Tiffy come out to celebrate her new championship! I am so pumped for her! However it wasn't long until Nia came out and these two exchanged harsh words. One thing led to another with Bayley Bianca and Naomi coming out. Nick made it official with a No 1 contenders match.. The match itself was pretty good I would say but nothing that would blow me out of the water. In the end, and in a shocking turn of events.. it was Bayley that made the pin on Naomi for the win. And she will face Tiffy for the title next week! 

-Jimmy Uso and Cody Rhodes vs. Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga

This match was pretty good, but very wild for multiple reasons. First of all.. Is Cody apart of the Bloodline now? Because what the hell is happening?? Not only is he helping The Usos/Bloodline.. but there's also the "threat" that Roman is coming after the title? Will this causes overall problems? KO did show up and went at it with Cody... this led Jimmy to fight alone resulting in the pin allowing Fatu and Tonga to get the win. Cody and KO ended up going through a table and the end of the show was the after match.. while officials checked on the two. 

Overall: 8.6/10

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

UP NEXT: WWE Monday Night Raw on Netflix

-How will Rhea address Raw after winning her title back?
-Will we see any returns from Becky or Alexia??
-Will we FINALLY see The Wyatt Sicks?
-Are we going to see Liv and the after math of her loss?
-Will we see CM Punk and Seth go at it once again?

Things are for sure heating up with only THREE weeks to go until The Royal Rumble!

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...
