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 Friday Night Smackdown (Feb 21st) Rundown/Review

 Did anyone else not really like this Smackdown? Because I have super mixed feelings overall.. 

We are now ONE week away until the Elimination Chamber.. and shit is hitting the fan. Let's get into it!

-The show kicks off with Nick telling Cody he won't be in the main event and The Rock.. would like to have a word with him basically. 

-Drew McIntyre vs. Jimmy Uso

The match itself was okay, but feel like it's done over and over again. What is the overall plot with these two? Roman? Regardless, it wasn't over the top match.. but just okay. In a shocking turn of events we did see Jimmy steal the win.. with a brutal beat down at the end at the hands of Drew. Things are looking iffy for Drew moving forward, but it seems it just pisses him off even more. Hmm.. where is this going overall? Because I am dying to know the end game for Mania for him..

-The Miz and Carmelo Hayes vs. R-Truth and LA Knight

This whole thing had me cackling. I love everything R-Truth.. seriously, he is such a gem. And the reveal for LA Knight was too funny. I did see a lot of people saying it was going to be Ricky, but think again my friends. The match was okay, that was until Nakamura decided to cost R Truth and Knight the match. I guess we will be seeing LA Knight and him go at it at the chamber?

-Tiffany Stratton vs. Candice LeRae

 Before the match, we saw Tiffy come out to give a little promo about being picked by Flair, but was interrupted by Nia and Candice.The match was good, I'll give it that. I do feel like people really sleep on Candice, but that is just me. Flair did come out at one point, and went to commentary. Tiffy got the win but was taken out by Nia.. in which Trish came out to help but was taken out as well. I have a feeling this tag match at EC will be so good! And of course to end things.. Flair stood tall as she pointed at the Mania sign. PLEASE for the love of God don't let Tiffy lose like this at Mania... it just wouldn't be right. 

-The Rock and Cody Rhodes

What in the Mississippi fu** was that? First of all.. of course (we knew this a month ago) Wrestlemania 42 was announced for New Orleans. And then the Rock went on to talk about Cody after he came out. The two spoke for a while, and that is where things got weird in the worst way. The Rock wanted Cody to become "his champion".. and this fool actually said "I want your soul" .... Excuse me sir... what did you say? Overall this whole promo/segment rubbed me the wrong way. One moment The Rock was baby face and then next he went full asshole heel. MY GOD the CROWD was confused and it was very apparent, they didn't like it either. I really hope they don't continue to with this whole "sell your soul for fame and fortune" because.. in basic terms... Imma head out. I don't like that shit, it's weird and makes me hella uncomfortable. And plus.. it just isn't needed. And yes.. I know all of this is "scripted" but still. 

-DIY vs. Pretty Deadly

Didn't like it. Not needed, and a story line that never ends. First of all the little promo that DIY did, wasn't needed by any means. The match didn't even really get started until Street Profits came out and raised hell.. taking out EVERYONE. DIY, Pretty Deadly, and even Motor City Machine Guns that came out to help. And can we all be happy that Alex Shelley has his blonde streak back.... because YES! 

It's more than safe to say, we will be getting a massive match at Mania for the tag team titles... and Street Profits will be winning. This isn't a bad thing by the way, it just should have been done A LONG time ago is all. 

-Damian Priest and Braun Strowman vs. Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa

I very much enjoyed this match! It was very intense and hard hitting. All men work so well together... and the story with The Bloodline is going crazy right now. The tension between Fatu and Solo is INTENSE and I love every single second of it. Not only did we see tension earlier in the night backstage, but we saw Fatu "accidentally" super kick Solo.. Things just weren't going right for The Bloodline and Damian Priest and Braun Strowman picked up the win. Also.. can we please talk about how well they team together?? Because yes.

Overall: 6.8/10

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

-UP NEXT: Monday Night Raw on Netflix

-Will we see more of Alexa and Wyatt Sicks after EC?
-Will Rhea return?
-Can you say NEW Women's Tag Champs?
-Jade Return??
-How will things break down with this being THE final Raw before EC?

until next time

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...
