WWE Friday Night Smackdown Rundown/Review

I'm a little late, but here we go. We've got a lot to talk about.. so let's get into it! -Kicking off: Cody Rhodes We didn't get very much but was told by Nick Aldis that we are getting a No 1 Contenders match in which we will see Jacob Fatu vs Drew McIntyre. This is very interesting see that we didn't think Jacob was cleared. Cody did address his loss to Seth.. however now has his eyes set on the new fued that is brewing. This.. should be interesting to say the least.   -Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss vs. Sol Ruca and Zaria (for the Tag Team Titles) I loved this match! I LOVED seeing Sol Ruca and Zaria on the main roster.. and this match delivered overall. However in the end, it was Alexa and Charlotte picked up the win to retain their titles. If you haven't seen this match, please do.. it was worth it. I can't wait to see not only what Alexa and Charlotte will do next.. but what is next for Sol and Zaria.   -United States Championship Open Challenge: Sami...

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??
-What will Jey have to say after Logan Paul attacked?

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 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 ...

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...

WWE Evolution 2 Rundown/Blog

Okay, I didn't expect this PLE to go this hard.. but here we are. I was SHOCKED out of my mind with this. The build up might have not been good, but the show... they did that shit.  -Kicking Off:  Becky Lynch vs. Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria This was a whole lot better than I thought it was going to turn out. While I did want to see Bayley pull off a win, I did have to remember that Summer Slam is just under 3 weeks away. All three women did so damn good, but it was Becky that retained. So does this mean we could infact see Bayley and Becky once again face off at SS next month? Because that would be the best place for Bayley to win. -Jacy Jayne vs. Jordynne Grace I haven't been very familiar with Jacy Jayne, but I liked her! She is pretty good overall. There were some issues here and there within the match but they did their best to recover. However.. as expected we saw Blake Monroe turn on Jordynne Grace to cost her the match by hitting her with the title. It seems we are getting...
