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...

Wrestlemania Night 1 (April 19th) Rundown/Review

Okay, okay... I didn't do a full rundown of Smackdown on Friday but hear me out... it's been a wild time let me tell you. The only thing I'll talk about real quick with Smackdown.. is that I am THRILLED about Hayes winning the battle royal.. that was amazing, and much needed for him. Also.. Street Profits vs DIY vs MCMG NEXT Friday after Mania is bullshit, and everyone knows it. We've got a hell of a night 1 to talk about.. so let's get into it!

-Anyone else LOVING the Mania set? Because YESSSSS! I loved the whole opening presentation!

-Jey Uso vs Gunther for the World Championship

This match was pretty good. We saw a little bit of everything to be honest.. and the story telling leading up was wonderful in my opinion. Gunther wanted to take the easy way out.. did his best to run away, to cheat.. but it just wasn't enough. In the end, Jey Uso made Gunther TAP OUT and now we have a NEW champ! When I tell you I was SCREAMING as the bell rang! This man DESERVED IT! I can't wait to see where this will go next, and who will be the next to challenge Jey coming out of Mania. 

-World Tag Team Championship: The War Raiders vs. The New Day

Wasn't really thrilled with this whole match, now don't get me wrong.. I get the story line and everything I just didn't like it personally. This is the first time the New Day has titles as being heel, so I can see this being interesting moving forward. Who will be the first to challenge? Could we see Theory and Waller getting a push?

-Jade Cargill vs. Naomi

 I have mixed feelings about this match overall.. but I will say I did love the story and presentation. Can we please talk about Naomi's new music and her outfit?? OH MY GOD! Jade looked AMAZING as well, and overall.. I do believe Jade winning was needed. Could this move forward? Oh yes.. I could see Naomi getting involved in the triple threat with Bianca... but only time will tell.

 

-United States Championship: LA Knight vs. Jacob Fatu

This match did NOT go the way I thought it was going to go.. but I am more than okay with it. Fatu's entrance was amazing and the mask just hit. I was fully prepared for Solo to cost Jacob as well, but we did not see that.. however, I do see the vision. The match overall was good and I enjoyed it very much. What I didn't expect was Jacob Fatu to win his FIRST title in WWE.. I am so proud of him and I just know this run is going to be HUGE for him. I do however see Solo turning on Fatu in the very near future.

-Rey Fenix vs. El Grande Americano

I am SO proud of both Chad and Rey for this.. it was a good match, but to be honest.. it wasn't over the top great. Both men deserved to have their moment.. and even tho "el grande americano" cheated to win.. the match seemed to be pretty fun.. all while adding some involvement from AAA wrestlers. It will be interesting to see where this will go from here on out.

-WWE Women's Championship: Tiffany Stratton vs. Charlotte Flair

 Okay... so I fully expected for this to be a upset. First of all, can we PLEASE talk about both ladies entrance?? WOAH! Tiffy ROCKED the Barbie look and entrance, all while Charlotte rocked the "Queen" entrance she deserves. The match itself was pretty damn good in my opinion, but did have a couple of moments of "oh my" towards the end. However in a shocking turn of events, Tiffy retained her title. This took me for a full ass loop, but I am more than happy about it! Will this move forward? Or will we see the two face off again? Tiffy did beat Char clean...

-Triple Threat Match: CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins

OKAY... First of all Seth Rollin's entrance was ICONIC.. along with Punk's as well. This match had it all.. it was intense, fun, and pretty brutal for the three. There was some team up teases along the way.. and it kept going making you wonder what would happen next. As expected, Paul Heyman did get involved. Paul turned on Punk.. seemingly going back to Roman. While Roman was able to beat Punk and Seth down.. Paul did the UNTHINKABLE and turned on Roman fully! Seth soaked it in, and ended up beating down Roman with a chair. Seth wins, and walks OUT of Mania with Paul Heyman. THIS IS HUGE!

Does this mean we will see Seth on Night 2? Hmm... Makes you think....

Overall: 8.9/10

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Prediction for Night 2
-Rhea will pick up the win
-Rusev will be facing Randy
-Wyatt Sicks RETURN
-Dom wins
-Liv/Raquel RETAIN
-Becky RETURNS
-Cena WINS

I feel I missed some but oh well.. I can't wait for tonight! I'll be LIVE tweeting at 6pm CST!

until next time

xoxo,
Chels

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...

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...
