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...

Monday Night Raw on Netflix (Post Rumble) Rundown/Review

 What a freaking Royal Rumble! I keep seeing so many people talk about how Jey shouldn't have won.. but that crowd sure was happy... and I love to see it! I can't wait to see how this plays out over the next few months leading up to Wrestlemania. This has to be one of THE biggest Mania's leading up. The matches are going to be AMAZING. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!

-Jey Uso kicked off Monday Night Raw and it was EVERYTHING! Jey came out and gave one hell of an emotional promo, that was until Gunther ruined the moment and threatened what would happen if he picked him. The moment was tense, but the choice isn't made yet. Jey said he wanted to go to Smackdown on Friday to talk to Cody. Let's just say... Smackdown is going to be a MUST SEE situation.

-Penta vs. Ludwig Kaiser

We saw these two at the Rumble.. as Ludwig lasted only six seconds, being eliminated by Penta. The match itself was pretty good overall, and I found these two work together well. However, it just wasn't good enough for Ludwig and Penta ended up with an obvious win. We saw Jackie come out for an interview with Penta but it was Pete Dunn that interrupted that... with Ludwig coming in for a beatdown post match. Hmm... a little off in my opinion, but okay. Where is this going exactly?

-Charlotte Flair Promo

This was very interesting to say the least. For someone to seemly be baby face... Good God she took some negative reactions. Charlotte went on to talk about her return and how the last few yeas were hard for her. This is talking about not only her injury and surgery.. but news broke this weekend/week that her and Andrade had gotten a divorce. Rhea Ripley comes out during her promo and words were exchanged. Could we see Charlotte and Rhea once again at Mania? Because their matches were AMAZING! Looks like we will now see Charlotte at Smackdown to see what Tiffy is up to? **Not to mention, we also did see Charlotte go to NXT last night. 

-Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee vs. The New Day

Didn't care for it. Simple as that. Now, don't get me wrong, I wanted to like it.. but I can understand the whole situation. The New Day did get new music, which is shocking.. but I can understand with the character change. We also saw Logan Paul come out, this sadly caused a distraction.. which made The New Day get the win. So what is next after this? Do we see The New Day coming for the tag titles anytime soon? Mania maybe?

-Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match: Iyo Sky vs. Liv Morgan

Both of these women deserved this, and it has shown over the last year or so. Both women kicked butt in the this match, which of course put me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I fully expected Iyo to pick up the win, but it was SHOCKING when Liv ended up getting the pin to move forward and be in the Chamber next month. Sadly this was due to Rhea trying to get revenge on Raquel from earlier in the night when her and Iyo were attacked backstage. Iyo was pissed and things are heating up between the two. Could we see a last minute win for Iyo?

-Seth "Freakin" Rollins Promo

I LOVED this whole situation. I love this version of Seth, and it just keeps getting better. The tweets on Seth Monday Night took me OUT. Someone said Seth Freakin Yallins.. and I died a little. Seth bragged about hurting Roman who is out for a while apparently due to injury. Not only that, but he then called out Sami and gave him the biggest hype promo of a life time. After this, it was time for the final match and CM Punk came out to the ring. We saw a small brawl with Seth and Punk... and then it was on to the main event. 

-Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match: CM Punk vs. Sami Zayn

As much as I don't want to say it.. This match was pretty damn good. Both men deserved the win, and it really showed. I couldn't predict who would win, because honestly.. anything is possible this year.. seeing that NO ONE could have predicted the Men's Rumble. After a very well fought battle.. it was Punk that got the pin for the win. Afterwards, the two men shook hands showing respect. HOWEVER.. we saw a beaten up KO make himself known, ATTACKING SAMI! WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW? To end things for the night, we saw KO give Sami a package pile driver! THINGS HAVE HIT THE FAN FOLKS!

What does all of this mean? What is happening with Kevin Owens? Where does this leave things??

Overall: 8.9/10

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

-Will we see more of the Wyatt Sicks?
-It's been reported (once again) that Alexa Bliss will be at Smackdown.
-How will things turn out with DIY, Street Profits, MCMG moving forward?
-How will Tiffy and Charlotte face off?
-Will we see the RETURN of Jade?
-Will we get answers from Kevin Owens?

I can't wait to see how things play out! This Smackdown is going to be HUGE!

TONIGHT: We have Wednesday Night Dynamite! I am pretty excited about this, and am hoping to LIVE tweet a little more! 

until next time

xoxo,

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...
