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 Monday Night Raw on Netflix (Feb 24th) Rundown/Review

 Oh my friends, what a time this week is going to be! This Monday Night Raw was THE final Raw before The Elimination Chamber on Saturday! I have a feeling, moving forward.. this is going to change the game for us all going into Mania. 

We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!

-Kicking off Raw: Logan Paul Promo

I literary said "the is gonna be so good..." and then Logan came out.. what a way to start out. During this time, Logan did a promo about EC and blah blah blah.. CM Punk (THANKFULLY) came out and the two went back and forth. That was until Logan slapped Punk.. and took off like a bitch. Let's just say that things are gonna get GOOD within the Chamber match.

-Penta vs. Pete Dunne vs. Ludwig Kaiser

This match has come from the following weeks, and was actually pretty good overall. I did enjoy how all three worked together and found it pretty interesting to say the least. However, it does make you wonder where all of this is going in the end? What a completely wasn't expecting was Ludwig to pick up the win on Pete. Like.. where did that come from?? I'm not mad at it.. I had just assumed that Penta would get the win. Good on them for not over doing wins for Penta. 

**We did see a promo from Rhea and Iyo.. seeing they have a title match next Monday after the EC. This has me CONVINCED that we WILL see a triple threat at Mania. Rhea/Iyo/ and who ever wins the Chamber. 

 -LWO vs. The New Day

 I am not going to lie.. I almost skipped this match. I thought it was going to be a fully blown squash match and then move on. Boy.. was I wrong on this one. I thought the LWO did AMAZING and aren't seen enough to be honest. Those guys put on a hell of a show, however it just wasn't enough for the New Day. Of course met with a bunch of heat.. the New Day got the win. 

-Akira Tozawa vs. Gunther

 I get it, but I don't. Now I love Tozawa... he's good. Sure, he isn't no body builder.. but he's actually pretty good. Sure... he has a silly character, but at one time.. he didn't. What they are doing with him now is a little silly but you can SEE his potential but always comes up short. All of this to basically show how Gunther sees Jey Uso going into Mania. 

-Women's Intercontinental Championship: Lyra Valkyria vs. Dakota Kai

The match itself was good, I will say that. I take NOTHING away from both of these wonderful women. They work really hard and it shows. The story line isn't for me tho. You can't just keep going with the same people over and over. And now you've thrown Ivy in it as well. So what.. we are going to keep going back and forth until we finally end up with Dakota winning at Mania? A triple threat maybe? Of course we saw Lyra pick up the win, and then a beat down from Ivy on Dakota. 

-Bron Breakker vs. Dominik Mysterio

Didn't like it. I just really feel like more than lately all of Dom's matches have been just "nothing".. ending in DQ thanks to the Judgement Day. And of course we can sense the final straw coming from Finn as well.. but when?

-Cody Rhodes Responds 

This overall situation had me shook. Like can Saturday please get here faster? Cody began to talk about what happened on Friday but didn't get too far into the promo before Seth made himself known. We saw the two face to face as Seth talked to him about everything going on and what the risks where. What got he SHOOK is when Cody bit back at Seth basically telling him that The Rock didn't ask for his soul because Seth's might already be gone.. The gasp I let out of my body. Personally.. I don't see this happening, I can't see Cody doing this turn, but crazier shit has happened. 

-Women's Tag Title: Bianca Belair and Naomi vs. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez

There was a REASON this was the main event.. and I LOVED IT! This match blew the roof off the place. All 4 women kicked total ass and deserved all the spotlight. Overall, it's just best that you go watch it. Please and thank you.

However, in the end we got NEW Women's Tag Team Champs! But.. now the question is... where is Jade? And WHO was the one that attacked her? I have a feeling we will see very... very soon.

Overall: 8.3/10

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

UP NEXT: Wednesday Night Dynamite

-How will the tag division respond to Street Profits destruction??
-Will we see Tiffy and Charlotte face to face again?
-More on Jade/Bianca/Naomi?
-Wyatt Sicks video?
-Alexa Bliss

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...
