WWE Monday Night Raw Rundown

We are so close to the road to Wrestlemania! We are a little over a month away from the Royal Rumble and things are getting HOT! Our next big WWE program will be Monday Night Raw: One Year on Netflix and things could change in a big way. Let's not forget outside of that.. we do have an AEW PPV in a few weeks as well. We have a lot to talk about from Raw, so let's get into it! Kicking off: Gunther After his win over Cena in his final match.. things were up to 11 with this opening. I don't give a damn what anyone says.. this was amazing. You can hate Gunther all you like (or even Triple H) but that doesn't change that he is now one of the best in the business. I love this for him. I love the "I don't give a shit" attitude.. the arrogant vibe, and the shit eating smile. It's perfect and I can't wait to see where go with this next. I did see them teasing AJ Styles... which would be pretty damn good as well.  The Usos vs. New Day I don't like it. We...

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??

until next time

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 Monday Night Raw Rundown/Review

What a time, everyone. I have been going going going for the last week or so.. so much that I haven't blogged. I hate when I have to skip weeks, but to be honest... sometimes it is like that. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it! -Kicking off Raw: Rhea Ripley We love Mami.. and she is MAD. Rhea addresses the attack of Asuka from last week.. which of course resulted in Iyo to come out as well. It wasn't long until Asuka and Kairi made themselves known and a brawl was set. This time.. it was Iyo that was misted by Asuka. My guess is that we are going to see some tag team action much sooner than later. I enjoyed this very much overall.. and am pretty happy that we are having Rhea and Iyo set away from the title action. But the question is.. when it is all set and done, are we going to see Rhea or Iyo turn on one another in a shocking turn of events? -Intercontinental Championship: Dominik Mysterio vs. Rusev I won't lie.. I was a little shocked about this...

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...
