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 Raw on Netflix (Jan 6th) Rundown/Review

 Well, I am a little later than normal on this.. I had this huge plan to have this posted like the day after super early.. but of course that didn't happen. Life slapped me right in the face and I just had to roll with it. But, we have ALOT to get into with this.. so let's get into it!

-OPENING: Opening the show we saw the ring completely covered and we saw the cold open that was posted previously. After that went off, the cover dropped revealing the new ring and Triple H to welcome everyone.. let's not forget the hella fireworks. After this.. the dome with pitch black and The Rock made the grand entrance to welcome everyone. The Rock gave a little promo thanking everyone, including Cody Rhodes. Not everyone was thrilled overall about this, but I thought it was a nice touch. From here.. we went straight into the 1st match of this night.

-Tribal Combat: Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa

I was honestly alittle shocked that this match was first, but I get it. Holy moly.. this match really delivered! I was very impressed with both Solo and Roman putting on this kind of match. There of course was no rules so you know both sides had some help. Overall, I was on the edge of my seat moment after moment. What I didn't expect was Roman to win so clean. And he did.. at the end... I expected some kind of "moment".. Heyman to turn on Roman.. Drew to screw Roman...Nope. The Rock did come out right after Roman's win and put the Ula Fala on him tho. I found this a little odd, but no turn of any kind. I liked it and didn't at the same time. But it did leave me with more questions than answers. Who will Roman face at WM? Will Rock be involved? Hm.. I will say, this was THE best way to start off Raw on Netflix!

-The Last Time is Now - John Cena

This is so bitter sweet. We saw John Cena make his way to the ring to give one heck of a promo. He talked about everything he wanted to accomplish and more.. I have a feeling this is going to be one hell of a ride. Could he win the Royal Rumble? Or will he get his final chance at the Elimination Chamber to move on to WM for the last time?? I just pray this isn't a John Cena love fest and he gets everything shoved at him this year.

-Women's World Championship: Rhea Ripley vs. Liv Morgan

I have hella expectations  for this match, and it didn't deliver. Now don't get me wrong the match was wonderful! We did see Raquel and Dom do there best to interfere, but it wasn't enough. Mami did what she had to do and pinned Liv to regain her championship! YES, MA'AM! We didn't see Becky make her return, nor did we see Finn cost Liv her title. Hmm.. Guess those Twitter warriors were wrong about "Becky being backstage" after all. At the end of it all, we had The Undertaker (of all people) give his stamp of approval and drive his motorcycle around the ring.. to rejoin Mami at the front of the stage. This was pretty cool I will say.. but random. So where does this go next?   


-Jey Uso vs. Drew McIntyre

I loved this match, but hated it at the same time. Lol! I loved it because these two work wonderfully together and the story was there. However, the ending just didn't click with me. While we already knew the story and where it was going.. the ending was exhausting and it didn't make sense. Drew has the momentum.. and for Jey to win with a quick little roll up kind of threw me off guard. I for sure wasn't expecting that. So what does this mean next? Is Drew going to lose his mind? Will Jimmy return to help Jey and Sami? We shall see..

-CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins

Regardless of the ending... this match was freaking amazing. The story was told and it showed big time. These two torn the house down in all the best ways. What I didn't expect was for Michael Cole to government name Seth like that.. WHAT.. for sure wasn't on my bingo card for 2025. The battle went back and forth for a good while but it was CM Punk that got the pin for the win. Does this mean we will see the two in another match... maybe a 3 round situation?? I also loved seeing Punk tell the ref to check on Seth after the last move... But there was major surprise at the end like some were saying, and I am just okay with that. 

Overall: 9.3/10

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES:
-Hulk was damn near booed out of the building
-US gets commercials, while the rest of the world doesn't
-Wyatt Sicks were NOT on the show, but was referenced in a Miz/Kross segment
-The Rock said he would be a NXT New Years Evil
-Becky was not scheduled originally
-Penta will most likely be Chad Gable's opponent next week
-We will most likely see Wyatt Sicks next week

UP NEXT: AEW Dynamite 

**Just a little note here: It's wrestling. It's suppose to be fun. You know the talent have real names, and they go home after this to live a regular life. It isn't life or death. Just because Monday Night Raw, NXT, Wednesday Night Dynamite, Friday Night Smackdown, or Collision... doesn't cater to you and what YOU want.. doesn't mean it's okay to talk nasty to people.. or give death threats like it's a slice of cake. Be nice or fuck off. It's simple my friends.

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...
