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...

WWE Friday Night Smackdown Rundown/Review (AND MORE)....

 Oh my friends... how my heart hurts for those that were released last night. This seems to be a normal around right after Mania, but after this list.. Smackdown just was a little lack luster. While there was ALOT of NXT names include the shocking release of Cora Jade.. you also saw on the main roster being released Dakota Kai, Braun Strowman, Shayna Baszler, and Katana Chance/Kayden Carter. I have full confidence that everyone will be successful in their work moving forward. 

On to Smackdown... if I skipped something, you'll have to excuse me... But let's get into it! Also, it's nice to note that in ONE WEEK there will be Backlash! So that should be interesting. 

-Kicking off Smackdown: Damian Priest vs LA Knight

We saw some backstage fighting with Damian and Solo/Jacob Fatu.. which led to LA Knight coming out to the ring to give a little promo about last week and the match that went crazy. Out comes DP to speak his mind, and it wasn't long until the two went at it. It wasn't very hard to find out where this was going due to the rumors of a fatal 4 way at Backlash... so it wasn't shocking when Solo went in for the DQ. Looks like those rumors were right. 

-Pretty Deadly vs. Fraxiom

I'm not going to lie, I am SO glad Fraxiom is on Smackdown right now! This will lead to many of wonderful matches within the tag division, I feel. I loved this fully... all men work wonderful together and it's nice to see some fresh faces and situations. In the end, we saw Fraxiom pick up the win. So now the question is... who is next for the new main roster tag team? I'd LOVE to see them face MCMG and DIY. 

-The Miz vs Alister Black

I fully went into this thinking it was going to be a squash match, and while it technically could have been.. it was overall pretty fun. These two do work well together, and it has be wondering how long this feud will last. Alister Black picked up the win, but now it seems Melo (The Miz's partner) will have his go next week. 

-Zelina Vega vs Piper Niven

I AM LOVING Chelsea Green and this gimmick right now. She is the best to be honest... However I just wasn't a huge fan of the match. The story.. is wonderful, it's there tho. While we did see Vega pick up the win, Piper hit Chelsea on accident. Is this the next story? A break up within this group? Hmm.. it will be interesting to say the least. 

-Rey Fenix vs. Santos Escobar

Looks like things are finally breaking down with Santos and Rey, with Santos slowing losing everything. I loved this match to be honest. It was very good, and very well put together. I wouldn't mind seeing them work together again down the road if not sooner. But in the end, we did see Rey Fenix pick up the win. 

**We also did see Randy Orton do a small promo about John Cena, leading up to their match next Saturday. 

-Jade/Tiffy vs Nia/Naomi 

I enjoyed this match for the most part, but there is just so much going on, story wise.. Jade and Naomi feud still? Tiffy vs Nia STILL? But is Jade going for the title? Naomi for the title? Nia for the title?? Can we please NOT do fatal four way? If not.. then I can see the vision for the Money in the Bank line up. While the match was pretty good, I still feel it fell just a little short.. but... it was the main event, so that was nice to see. In the end, it was Jade and Tiffy that picked up the win. 

Overall: 8.4/10

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

UP NEXT: Monday Night Raw

-Will we see another glitch from The Wyatt Sicks
-Who will face Iyo next?
-Will Bayley return to face Becky or cost her at Backlash??

I'd LOVE to introduce everyone to Mouthing Off with Mike Wrestling Podcast! If you are a fan of wrestling, then you should make sure you give him a listen and a follow! All of his social media information is listed as @mown_podcast and I'll be sure to tag him in this Twitter post as well! After talking with Mike we did a little interview: Let's dive in!

 *How long have you been watching wrestling?

Mike:  I’ve been watching wrestling for as long as I can remember. I used to watch it with my grandma when she would babysit me at the age of 5 So I’d say 23 years but my earliest recollection of wrestling would be from 2005- to now! 

*With Wrestlemania behind us, what was your favorite and least favorite part of both nights? 

Mike: My favorite part of Wrestlemania hands down was getting to experience it live in Vegas with the crowd. To feel that energy and to hear the crowd going crazy it’s an unmatched experience. My favorite part was watching Jey Uso become the world champion for the first time in his career. My least favorite moment was Travis Scott getting involved in the main event and adding absolutely nothing to the Cody Rhodes/ John Cena rivalry.

*Who is your favorite WWE super star?
 3. With Wrestlemania behind us, what was your favorite and least favorite part of both nights? 4. Who is your favorite WWE super star?

Mike: My favorite WWW Superstar right now would be Cody Rhodes, I think Cody embodies what it means to be a “professional” in the wrestling industry. I also feel he can connect with just about any audience. If we’re talking all time favorite WWE Superstar of the past or present that would be Jeff Hardy!

 

Mike, thank you for all your content and having the time to answer some questions! Don't forget to follow Mike on all his online content! You won't be disappointed!

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...
