WWE Monday Night Raw Rundown

 I'll tell you what.. I guess that tweet wasn't lying about Monday Night Raw...IYKYK. We've got A LOT to talk about.. and a crash out is on the horizon.    -Kicking off Monday Night Raw: Liv Morgan Liv Morgan came to the ring with Dom to give a promo, explaining her actions last week with Nikki Bella. In this, she also called out Iyo Sky.. and she wants another title shot. Iyo came to the ring as well, and it all but seemed like this was a story ready to kick off.  -Ivy Nile vs. Stephanie Vaquer vs. Raquel Rodriguez vs. Asuka (Queen of the Ring) This match was SO much better than I thought it was going to be overall. I really had this match between two women, and that was Vaquer and Asuka. All women did wonderful, and work so well together. We did see Rhea come out and cost Raquel in return from Rhea's match. And in the end, it was Asuka that got the win! She will now face Alexa Bliss this Friday! That match.. should be very good. It will be interesting t...

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

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

-Will we see more of Alexa and Wyatt Sicks after EC?
-Will Rhea return?
-Can you say NEW Women's Tag Champs?
-Jade Return??

WWE Monday Night Raw on Netflix Rundown (April 28th)

We've got one hell of a Monday Night Raw, and we've got a lot to talk about! Let's get into it! -Kicking off Monday Night Raw: Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Paul Heyman I thought this was wonderful! The promo that Seth gave was AMAZING and really gave a glimpse of what is to come within this group and story. Of course, we did have Sami come out to get a little promo with Seth as well.. and it was pretty damn good. I enjoyed it very much! I still fully believe that this was a push into the direction of Sami joining Seth/Bron/Paul shortly down the road. And this will come in the form of turning on Jey Uso.. I think it's going to be one of the best storylines this year to be honest.  -Rhea vs Roxanne  Are we finally getting Roxanne on the main roster? I hope so! I enjoyed this match overall, but wish it didn't end in a DQ.. I would have loved to have a clean match between these two. It does however look we will get Rhea NOT going for the title again right now (which...

WWE Friday Night Smackdown (April 11th) Rundown/Review

We are officially ONE WEEK away from Wrestlemania, and this one is going to be HUGE! I can't wait! We are going to talk a little bit about everything that has happened last night and then go straight into what I believe will happen next Sat and Sun! We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it! -Nick kicks off Smackdown with Randy  We got both men face to face in this, and I won't lie.. it was pretty damn good. Can we please see these two go at it at Mania?? It's been teased for far too long, and it would for sure deliver. However, before it could go any further.. Solo and Tama made themselves known. I think I can speak for everyone when I tell you that the air left everyone's body. But thankfully it was a set up for a tag team match between Randy/LA vs Tama/Solo.. -Women's Gauntlet Match Overall.. we kind of knew who would win this. I will say it was pretty good and nice to see all these teams go at it. I will also mention, whatever this is with Maxx...

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...
