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...
It's RUMBLE WEEK! My favorite PPV of the year, and this one is going to be HUGE!
*I've taken a small break over the last week or so due to some family health problems. Thankfully everything is getting back and order and I am able to continue with blogging more often. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!
-Seth Rollins Kicks Off Raw
I actually enjoyed this segment overall. We also saw Gunther and Logan Paul get into the mix of things. There was talk about Seth taking back what was his.. and a tease of Logan vs Gunther in the near future. Please God no don't do this. If it does happen, for the love of God don't put it on Logan.. we'll never hear the end of that mess. But could we also see a triple threat? That would be something. In the end, it's safe to say that this Royal Rumble will be a MUST SEE type of satiation.
-World Tag Team Championship: The War Raiders vs. The Judgment Day
This match was insane from start to finish. But I will say overall it was very good. We did (thankfully) see The War Raiders pick up the win.. but that wasn't before we saw JD take one hell of a bump. If you haven't seen that, let's just say I am thankful he is okay! JD did address the situation this morning letting us know he was okay and would be taking the next few months off due to broken ribs and a punctured lung. HOW SCARY.. It could have been MUCH worse, but still.. I can't imagine taking such a hit and returning to finish the match.
-Rey Mysterio vs. Xavier Woods
This match overall was okay, I guess. I am still kind of wondering what they are doing with Kofi and Woods after this heel turn. It seems it's just in the same spot since they started. You know.. no one likes them, they get into it with someone backstage and then there is a match. Is there more to it? Only time will tell. I am very interested to see it develop more. Of course in the end, we did see Rey pick up the win. And this was in Woods hometown.. in which his family (like Kofi) turned their backs to him. I thought this was a nice touch and pretty funny overall.
-Bianca Belair and Naomi vs. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez
I thought this was pretty interesting and I enjoyed it for the most part. Could we be seeing the end of Bianca/Naomi title run? The match itself was good and could have done without Dom being a bit of a distraction. This led to Liv/Raquel picking up the win. There isn't hardly any other women's tag teams that would be a good candidate.. so could it be Liv/Raquel next? I know that at NXT the tag titles are on the line and if Bianca and Naomi are successful... will we see another title match after the Rumble? This would allow Jade to get her revenge, and to not only let Liv/Raquel run together.. but set up a Mania turn on the team? Hmm.. Interesting...
**Jey Uso got one hell of an entrance...and gave a hyped up promo for the Rumble. Could we see Jey win? Hmm..
-Paul Heyman Reveals WWE 2K25 Cover
We saw the NEW 2K25 Cover and it was revealed to be Roman Reigns AND Paul Heyman! Well deserved I'll say.. You can get all the details on Twitter or online at WWE. You'll also see TWO more covers that include The Deadman Edition and The Bloodline Edition.
-Sami Zayn vs. Drew McIntyre
Moving into this match, I just wasn't too excited.. But I will say, this match was not only good, but very intense! However I fully expected Sami to pull the win.. but that just wasn't the case. It was Drew that pulled off the win. We did see Cody and KO get involved as well.. In a shocking turn of events we saw Sami accidentally hit Cody with the Helluva kick to end things out. Hmm.. we sure are seeing some issues with Sami after his Kross run in. What the heck is happening.. and are we really seeing Cody leave The Royal Rumble a champ?? Things are for sure heating up this week.
-Cody Rhodes Promo
This promo came after the whole situation from the last match. However, it was CM Punk that interrupted Cody. Things took a turn after what seemed like friendly talk... turned sour. If you haven't seen the exchange from these two, you HAVE to go watch it. I actually enjoyed it very much, and it does change things a little. Could we really see Cody and CM Punk at Mania? Or will things take a turn after the Rumble?
Overall: 9.1/10
==========================================================
-Things are heating up with Wyatt Sicks and Miz BOTH being on Smackdown.
-Will we FINALLY hear more about Alexa Bliss returning??
-Could we see a title change in the tag team division on Smackdown??
-Will we see MORE from Charlotte Flair before her Rumble return?
-Will there be MORE information on who attacked Jade? Bianca or Naomi??
**You voted, and it is official! Friday Night Smackdown will be streamed on TikTok where we will talk all about it! I'll be posting that more on Twitter Friday Night!
Until next time
