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...
This Smackdown.... hmmm.. We've got a lot to talk about friends, so let's get into it!
-John Cena Kicks Off Smackdown
We got the same entrance as from Raw, but Cena wasn't able to get a word in this time.. this was due to Randy Orton making himself known. The two went back and forth before exchanging blows... and it was officially announced that we will see Randy Orton vs John Cena for the title at Backlash! This should be pretty dang good! Although I already smell some bullshit around the corner for the ending.
-Fraxiom vs Los Garzas
FINALLY we have a NEW tag team on Smackdown in the form of Fraxiom! I am over the MOON about this, and I can't wait to see the matches that will come of it. This match was pretty good overall, and I really enjoyed it. But in the end, we did see Fraxiom get the much deserved win. Who will they face next?
-Tiffany Stratton vs. Jade Cargill
We saw Tiffy come out and celebrate her big win from Saturday! It wasn't long until we saw Jade come out and talk some shit. And just like that Jade got her a title match on Smackdown. This was a bit painful to watch to be honest. Jade is great, but she has got to clean it up a bit.. because this was a little wonky..even Tiffy couldn't save it. But in the end, Naomi got involved and cost Jade the match. And just when we thought it was over, Nia Jax made her return to take out Tiffy. PLEASE for the love of God... I don't want this mess AGAIN. And after everything Nia said at the roast.. I am shocked that she is on TV right away. Roast or not.. some of that wasn't a joke, it was just mean.
-Solo/Jacob Fatu
Jacob Fatu and Solo came out to celebrate the US title win at Mania. It got real REAL quick when Solo said no one wanted Fatu in WWE besides Solo.. and took credit for everything pretty much. It wasn't long until Fatu had enough and took the mic away from Solo with a bit of a snatch. A few words were exchanged, until LA Knight came out and cut a little promo.. and then Drew came out as well. Which... was a little odd. Once again, words were exchanged.. Nick came out and offered a match between Knight/Drew for a chance at the US title. This should be pretty good.
-Chelsea Green vs. Zelina Vega
OKAY.. I'll say it. THANK GOD THIS HAPPENED. I love Chelsea Green... she is WONDERFUL and this whole run has been THE best. But you can only do it for so long, until you need a little story change. This match was okay for the most part, and we did see Niven and Fyre try to get involved to help Chelsea out.. but it wasn't enough and they were thrown out from ring side. In the end, Zelina got the win.. and is your NEW Women's US Champ! WELL DESERVED! I can't wait to see where this will go!
The Miz/Aleister Black
We saw The Miz come to the ring and talked about how no one "respects" him. He talks for a moment, and then the lights go out.. and out comes Aleister in his OG music. That... that was shocking. Miz was taken out with Black Mass.. and then just as quickly... left. People were so shocked.. but yet... it's been talked about for a month. This will be interesting moving forward, and now we know that Miz and Black will face each other next week on Smackdown.
-LA Knight vs. Drew McIntyre
I actually enjoyed this match overall. I like LA and Drew both and to have them work together is wonderful. However, this match didn't end like I thought it would. We did see Solo AND Damian get involved.. resulting in a DQ ending. Drew was deemed the winner to move forward to face Fatu down the road. But.. what does that mean for LA? Will we see LA vs Damian? Or.. is this going to be a multi man match at Backlash?? Either way, I think it will be pretty good. I am LOVING the titles seeming more important.
WYATT SICKS UPDATE/SITUATION:
Okay, this might be a little upsetting to some people.. but hold my hand when I tell you this. Stop listening to random crazy twitter fan pages. Stop holding on to "THEY ARE COMING THIS WEEK" every single week.. I know it's frustrating, I know it's hard to keep the hype. Taylor got hurt. No, you can't let the other members keep going, it wouldn't make sense said story line. Alexa is also involved. YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. I also don't think Alexa will be the leader, I think it will be a co leader type of situation. I think have Alexa be the main person to wrestle and such.. and have Bo/Howdy be the maintaining the strings. They will return when the time is right, and it will be wonderful. This type of situation takes time and patience as Rob has stated beforehand. If you lose your hope and hype, that's fine.. that is on you. For me.. I'll do my best to report the truth of what is happening, and maintain my patience. I fully feel everything will come full circle and all will be revealed.
-Street Profits vs. DIY vs. Motor City Machine Guns (TLC Tag Title Match)
OH MY GOD THIS MATCH WAS FREAKING AMAZING! Um, can we please say where was this at Mania?? HOWEVER.. I completely understand that if it was on Mania.. it most likely wouldn't have been 30 minutes. There is so much to talk about with this, but if I am being honest.. just go watch the match. It is well worth it! First of all... the chair spinning around Shelly's head was INSANE, and Tez beating up everyone with a fan's prosthetic leg...not to mention Dawkins and Ciampa remaking the Edge/Hardy spear. Talk about INTENSE the whole match. However in the end, we saw The Street Profits RETAIN their championships.. something I did NOT see coming to be honest. All of these men went to WAR and it was amazing.
Overall: 7.9/10
=========================================================
We are offically DONE with Mania and now we are heading into NEW storylines.. and new PLEs coming up. Who knows what else is to come..
-What will Rhea do next?
-Will we see Becky join Paul Heyman?
-What is next for the Women's Tag Team Champs?
-Who will Jey face next? Will Sami turn HEEL?
-Will the Judgement Day fully disband?
until next time
xoxo,
Chels
