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...

Raw After Mania Rundown/Review (April 21st)

What a freakin Monday Night Raw! We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!

-John Cena KICKS OFF 

I don't know exactly what I expected, but it sure wasn't a full promo. I thought he was going to pull some bullshit along the way, but I was wrong. He came out and talked for a little while...We heard the crowd go back and forth with him, and we even heard the crowd chant "We Are Sorry"... after Cena had said something in the sense that everyone wasn't sorry for how they treated him. This was too funny... In a shocking turn of events, we saw Randy Orton come out of no where.. and attack him. It looks like we are getting Cena vs Orton at Backlash in about 3 weeks. 

-Valkyria and Lynch vs. Rodriguez and Morgan for the Women's Tag Team Championships  

I wasn't expecting this match so soon, but it kind of makes sense now. The match itself was pretty good, and it was something that I did enjoy. However what I didn't expect was Liv and Raquel to WIN BACK the titles! This took me by complete surprise! In the end, we saw Becky completely turn on Lyra and attack her multiple times. Are we seeing a major feud brewing?? Becky vs Lyra for the IC title? 

-New Day and a BIG return

The New Day came out to celebrate, but was interrupted by Alpha Academy. Also... can we just all agree that Woods saying "Thank God for The New Day" makes me want to crash out for some reason... Anyway, apparently there was suppose to be a match on the fly... but the lights went out and shit hit the fan real quick. Rusev made his return and attacked everyone in sight. This should be pretty interesting moving forward. I wasn't exactly surprised, but didn't know it was going to be this soon. 

-Iyo Sky vs. Stephanie Vaquer

This match was freaking AMAZING from start to finish. I loved the intro for it, and the surprise of Stephanie herself was great. Sadly, we didn't get a full finish.. and that was because of Roxanne and Giulia made the attack on Steph and Iyo. Rhea did come in for the save.. and made sure that Iyo knew she was still coming for that title. 

-Jey Uso Celebration

Okay, I have mixed feelings about this. I loved the reaction from everyone and the hype was wonderful. You could tell that Jey was over the moon and in his feelings a bit.. but it was wonderful over all. I do think they went a little over board with the stalling, but I can understand. However.. we also got Sami coming out. This was TENSE! We ended up getting Jimmy coming out as well.. but overall the feeling was something bad was going to happen. Sami is turning once again and it's going to be heart breaking. If you go back and watch, he was LOOKING at that title. He will turn and it will be a war. 

-Dominik Mysterio vs. Penta

The match itself was very good, and I loved that for both Penta and Dom.. however I just feel this might be over done for the waiting just as it was for the New Day turn. We saw a returning JD to help Dom pick up the win and the celebration was on. You could tell the entire time that Finn was on the edge and upset. He isn't happy at all, and you can FEEL the turn coming... but when? I do feel that last night would be PERFECT.. but I can see wanting to wait until everyone was involved. Having JD back kind of fully sets it in motion. 

Seth Rollins/Paul Heyman

This was INSANE and I loved every single moment of it. Paul and Seth head to the ring and before things can really get started.. CM Punk comes out to attack. There was a small beat down and in the end.. Seth stood tall. Paul let's everyone know there is a NEW big star in WWE.. and the Roman's music hits and the fight is on. I fully didn't expect Roman to show up last night, so I was thrilled! Roman took out Seth and Paul for a moment.. and then out of NO WHERE Roman was speared. By who?? BRON FREAKIN BREAKKER! I DID NOT SEE THIS COMING! BRON IS A HEYMAN GUY! The show ended with the three in the middle of the ring.. standing tall. 

WHAT... Business is starting to heat up folks. 

Overall: 9.4/10

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

-Alister Black makes his RETURN on Smackdown
-Will we see Alexa Bliss or The Wyatt Sicks?
-Will Liv/Raquel retain their titles after defending them on NXT?
-Who else could return?
-Will we see NEW Tag Team Champs between DIY/Street Profits/MCMG??

This Smackdown is going to be HUGE! Let's freakin GO!

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...
