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 Monday Night Raw on Netflix (Jan 13th) Rundown/Review

 Oh boy, do we have some shit to talk about my friends. If you haven't already checked out the live tweets from last night.. then you prob should before we get into this. This might be one of the most heated reviews you'll get from me... We've got a lot to unpack, so let's get into it!

-CM Punk kicks off Monday Night Raw

Once again we saw Punk kick off Raw and declare that he WILL be in the Royal Rumble this year. However this didn't last long due to Seth coming out to exchange words. The two went back to back.. until Drew made himself known as well. I loved this segment overall and it really adds to the importance of the Rumble.. as it was announced all three men will be in it. I can FOR SURE see this being a HUGE Rumble. Things got tense but didn't go very much further than that. We also have to remember that it was also announced that Roman, Cena, and LA Knight have been confirmed as well for the Rumble.. 

-Chad Gable Open Challenge

Michael Cole said it best.. it was WWE's worst kept secret. Penta made his WWE debut and it was WONDERFUL! While I wasn't thrilled how everything went down in the start, I am happy for Penta! At the end of the day, everyone deserves happiness and deserves to follow their dreams and goals in life. This match (in my opinion) was hella good! Both men worked very well together and I look forward to see who else Penta will work with moving forward. Of course, Penta did get the win and after the match gave a little promo. 

-Sheamus vs. Ludwig Kaiser

Once again we saw this match.. and don't get me wrong I love the both of them and how they work together.. I just need more. While I am all about long term story telling.. there doesn't seem to be much of a story.. just replays. Sheamus did pick up the win and went face to face with Bron who was at ring side. Once again will see a title match with Sheamus or is this another way to introduce another three way? Hmm... They are going to need to do something but I actually forgot that Bron was champ. 

-Gunther Promo

I love Gunther.. I really do. However this run as champ isn't it for me. I don't know what it really is.. but it doesn't sit right with me. I am praying they don't just keep trying to extent his run, with it being so flat lately. AND PLEASE don't be saving such a feud with John Cena of all people. During Gunther's promo.. we saw Jey Uso come out to issue a challenge. Again.. I love Gunther and I love Jey.. but this isn't it. We know.. WE KNOW that Jey isn't going to win this match. The hype is very much there.. but don't let this man lose in such an important stage/title. Looks like we will see Gunther/Jey face off at the next Saturday  Night Main Event on Jan 25th.

**BACKSTAGE**

We saw Karrion Kross talk to Miz that let us know that The Wyatt Sicks have moved to Smackdown. Now.. I popped in the worst way when I heard this but it did get me thinking. What if Kross said this to get Miz out there by himself? Words were exchanged by Sami and Miz to set up a match.. Could we be seeing an attack??

-Women's Intercontinental Championship Tournament Final: Lyra Valkyria vs. Dakota Kai

Both of these women deserved it. Both women are wonderful and have been very hard working the last few months. However this match just wasn't it for me. Dakota has been very much deserving of a change and she DID deserve to become the 1st Women's Intercontinental Champ.. but that just didn't happen. Lyra picked up the win and claimed her title. Things will for sure be interesting leading up to her 1st title defense. 

-Sami Zayn vs. The Miz

What the hell was even this? A leveled up enhancement match? There really wasn't anything special about this match... it did have everyone on their toes as what to expect after the match with Wyatt Sicks.. Of course Sami got the win and The Miz took off to the back as it went to commercial. 

**RANT**

What the fuck was even that? Wyatt Sicks move to Smackdown in the middle of a feud?? Are we being trolled? Is Karrion Kross and The Miz going to be going as well? I am pretty pissed about this and while I am doing my best to keep my cool.. it's hard not to at this point. The Wyatt Sicks aren't being used like they should.. and everything is really falling flat. I take NOTHING away from Taylor and the rest of the group. But this is bullshit and a slap in the face to everything that has been done thus far since June. I know Taylor (in the latest interview) said there would be ups and downs.. but this one is pushing it. Like always I am going to do my best to trust the process, but my patience is running thin. I guess we will see what happens on Smackdown?

-Rhea Ripley Promo

Nope. We aren't doing this.. Is this a fever dream or something? Mami comes out and gives a little promo.. but it wasn't Liv or Becky that comes out. Nope, it's Nia Jax. Am I in the twilight zone right now or something. This turned into Bayley coming out and it was all bullshit from there. 

-Street Fight: Damian Priest vs. Finn Bálor

As much as I don't want to say this.. I actually enjoyed this match! It was pretty crazy and wild overall.. someone of the spots were pretty questionable at first but that just added to the madness. We did see some of the Judgement Day get involved but it wasn't a match seeing that War Raiders helped out DP. In the end it was Damian Priest that got the win to FINALLY end this feud once and for all. So where does this land the Judgement Day now??

Overall: 8/10

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

**Why no more story with Liv and Dom?
**Will more be transferred to Smackdown?
**Rhea facing Nia AND Bayley?
**Will The Judgement Day finally explode?
**What is next for Damian Priest?

UP NEXT: AEW Dynamite

until next time

xoxo,

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...
