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 Backlash Rundown/Review (May 10th)

I took a little break this week from blogging, and now that Backlash is over... it's time to get back to work. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!

-Kicking off Backlash: Fatal 4 Way for the US Title

I enjoyed this for the most part, and everything that I thought was going to happen...didn't. However, that didn't stop it from being very good overall. Sadly, this was my only window to shower and get ready for bed.. so I did miss some here and there. I honestly can't wait for Drew and Damian to feud some more (if they do) because they work so well together. Hopefully after that very iffy table situation, Drew is all good. In the end, it was Jeff Cobb that made himself known to help out Jacob to retain the title. Hmm.. Jacob didn't look happy either. Are we finally seeing the straw that broke it all? Friday will for sure be interesting moving forward.

-Lyra Valkyria vs. Becky Lynch

I had an idea of what this match was going to be, and it for sure wasn't this. This match was freaking AMAZING and these two torn the house down with this overall. If you haven't watched this match.. you should 110%.. because I was blown away. The ending tho... I wasn't expecting Lyra to pull off a full blown upset and retain her title. It looks like the importance of this title just increased. While I wasn't sure at first, this whole situation is going to be HUGE.. and in the end, Becky will be IC champ.

-Dominik Mysterio vs. Penta

I was pretty excited for this match overall.. and it delivered. Dom did wonderful and I have loved seeing his progress over time. Dude is going to be a huge baby face. We did see the Judgement Day come out to seemingly help Dom.. but there was some weirdness coming from Finn. Did anyone else catch that? However there was no change of title, and there was no turn.. Dom picked up the win and left with Judgement Day to end it. The turn is COMING and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw it on the fall out on Monday Night Raw. 

-Gunther vs. Pat McAfee

This was pretty good. Like, much better than I thought it would be. Pat gave it his all... and lasted A LOT longer than I thought he would. We did see Michael Cole get involved but that was short lived.. I swear I thought we were going to see a MASSIVE upset but in the end.. Gunther made Pat pass out. While the match wasn't 5 star.. it was very good overall. 

-John Cena vs. Randy Orton

What the hell was even this? Overall the match was good. Just good. The ending... holy crap. I was pretty shocked overall.. the ending was very bleak and not what I really expected. I guess this once again goes back to "Cena ruining wrestling"... We saw him trying to cheat.. not once, but multiple times.. the ref going down multiple times was kind of getting old, and of course the random "management" coming out to try to get control of it all. ANDDDD we got Nick being RKO'd for the what.. 3rd time? This is for sure going to be something. And Cena retained. I love Cena and all.. but this whole story line has been iffy. Give me a little something more. Oh.. and the random ass R Truth segment. And after the whole post show.. we are FOR SURE getting Truth vs Cena at Saturday Night Main Event in 2 weeks. 

Overall: 7.3/10

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

-What will become of Judgement Day after Backlash? Finn didn't look pleased.
-Rhea and Iyo tag match, can they work together?
-WWE Draft NEWS?
-MIB qualifying matches?
-Do you think we will see any glitches?
-Will Jey respond after being attacked by Logan Paul?
-How will Becky react after LOSING to Lyra?

We are now 2 weeks away from Main Event... what will the remaining 2 matches be? And 2 weeks after that... we will have Money in the Bank. Things are heating up leading into the summer... lighting up the way for some MAJOR matches at the 1st ever 2 NIGHT Summer Slam. 

until next time

xoxo,
Chels

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...
