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...
**Let me start off by talk about how right now has been hard to write about Dynamite. I don't know what is going on with me lately, but there is so much with AEW that is upsetting.. I really want to love it, but I am just in a huge story line slump. Hopefully next week or the next.. I will fully be back as time goes on.
-In NOW news.. Friday Night Smackdown has turned to THREE hours and last night was SOMETHING ELSE! We've got so much going on, and we've got so much to talk about! Let's get into it!
-Cody Rhodes opened the show and gave us some interesting information. He revealed that he isn't cleared to wrestle due to KO and his actions. In a very strange turn of events we did see Drew McIntyre interrupt .. but not to attack. It seemed that Drew wanted to make friends, and let Cody know that is what he needed. This seemed to be all a work.. when KO attacked Cody from behind and the brawl was on. I liked this for the most part, but was for sure something a bit different.
-Andrade vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
I feel this is the same thing over and over again. It would be different if Andrade would have other feuds but he has been after the US title since he arrived it seems. The match itself was very good, and you can tell the two have a good bit of in ring chem. However.. it just wasn't time once again... Shinsuke was able to pick up the win. Is there a champ match coming? Hmm.. It wasn't long after until LA cut the celebration short for the attack. And it was later said that he will be facing Shinsuke for the US title next week. I smell a DQ from a mile away..
-Michin vs. Piper Niven
This whole situation has been fun and I have enjoyed it for the most part. These three work wonderfully together and each time it gets better and better. I will say.. it is very clear that Michin will most likely take this title from Chelsea before too long. Both women deserve their flowers over the last few months and this would be the best outcome. This match wasn't wonderful over the top.. but it was enjoyable. In the end, it was Michin that got the win!
-DIY vs. Motor City Machine Guns
Now we have one hell of a mess. The Street Profits are "hurt" and unable to compete.. so MCMG took their place. On top of that you also have Pretty Deadly and Angel/Berto involved.. The match itself was SO GOOD.. and all four men work wonderfully together. However the ending left a bad taste in my mouth. I say that.. but I can understand why they did this. Pretty Deadly did their best to distract MCMG but it was Angel/Berto that chased PD around to help MCMG.. This resulted in PD getting in the ring and "accidentally" resulting in the ref throwing out the match. DIY retains. So.. we have a hell of a situation. We have four teams going for the titles.. and only a couple of months until WM. Could we see an old fashion ladder match? Or to extend their reign will they do a small tournament until then? I would love to see MCMG regain the titles at the biggest stage of them all. But.. only time will tell!
- Naomi vs. Nia Jax
Before we get THE talk of Smackdown.. let me talk about this match for a moment. I went into this with my expectations LOW.. but BOY was I wrong all together. This match was AMAZING! Both women went to war and put on one hell of a show. And let's remember to get Naomi her flowers on this, because WOAH! This match was wonderful from start to finish. I did get a little worried when we saw Candice and Bianca.. who knows what will happen with extra women out there. In the end, it was Nia that pinned Naomi to retain her title! However things were not finished!
**Before the pin, we did see Tiffy come out and tease a cash in**
**However, after the match we saw Tiffy fully turn on Nia and hit her with the briefcase! She took out Candice, AND took out Bianca for good measure! AND SHE CASHED IN! It was Tiffy Time.. and she got the 1,2,3! AND NEWWWWWW Women's World Champ! HELL YEAH! I am so glad I was wrong on this. Tiffy deserves this 110% and I can't wait to see who she will feud with next. Could we see her face Charlotte?? Only time will tell!
-The New Bloodline vs. OG Bloodline
I feel like this match should have been earlier and then Nia/Naomi was last. But that is just me. The match itself was pretty good, but still felt a little too much as the same time. I can understand the importance, seeing that we will see Roman and Solo on Monday.. but the hype just wasn't there for me. In the end, and in a shocking turn of events.. we did see Solo take out Jey.. for the win.
*We also saw earlier in the show a segment with Paul Heyman and Solo.. and apparently Paul will be the one to hold the Ula Fala... and if Solo wins, Paul will belong to Solo. Interesting I'll say...
==============================================================
8.2/10
FINAL PREDICTIONS FOR RAW ON NETFLIX:
-Roman Reigns vs Solo (Tribal Combat Match): Roman wins, but somehow The Rock will end up with the Ula Fala
-CM Punk vs Seth Rollins: CM Punk will win
-Women's World Champ (Last Woman Standing): Rhea will win, due to Becky costing Liv
-Drew McIntyre vs Jey Uso: Drew will win
-Alexa Bliss will return (If it will be with the Wyatts, I cannot say)
-Wyatt Sicks will have a HUGE segment with The Final Testament
-Another MASSIVE Rumble match will be revealed
It's going to be a HUGE night for WWE and I can't wait! I'll be doing my best to LIVE tweet during all of this, but please remember that I WILL have a little time delay due to my son going to be around that time.
until then
xoxo,
Chels
