WWE Friday Night Smackdown Rundown/Review

I'm a little late, but here we go. We've got a lot to talk about.. so let's get into it! -Kicking off: Cody Rhodes We didn't get very much but was told by Nick Aldis that we are getting a No 1 Contenders match in which we will see Jacob Fatu vs Drew McIntyre. This is very interesting see that we didn't think Jacob was cleared. Cody did address his loss to Seth.. however now has his eyes set on the new fued that is brewing. This.. should be interesting to say the least.   -Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss vs. Sol Ruca and Zaria (for the Tag Team Titles) I loved this match! I LOVED seeing Sol Ruca and Zaria on the main roster.. and this match delivered overall. However in the end, it was Alexa and Charlotte picked up the win to retain their titles. If you haven't seen this match, please do.. it was worth it. I can't wait to see not only what Alexa and Charlotte will do next.. but what is next for Sol and Zaria.   -United States Championship Open Challenge: Sami...

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,
Chels

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 ...

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...

WWE Evolution 2 Rundown/Blog

Okay, I didn't expect this PLE to go this hard.. but here we are. I was SHOCKED out of my mind with this. The build up might have not been good, but the show... they did that shit.  -Kicking Off:  Becky Lynch vs. Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria This was a whole lot better than I thought it was going to turn out. While I did want to see Bayley pull off a win, I did have to remember that Summer Slam is just under 3 weeks away. All three women did so damn good, but it was Becky that retained. So does this mean we could infact see Bayley and Becky once again face off at SS next month? Because that would be the best place for Bayley to win. -Jacy Jayne vs. Jordynne Grace I haven't been very familiar with Jacy Jayne, but I liked her! She is pretty good overall. There were some issues here and there within the match but they did their best to recover. However.. as expected we saw Blake Monroe turn on Jordynne Grace to cost her the match by hitting her with the title. It seems we are getting...
