WWE Monday Night Raw Rundown

We are so close to the road to Wrestlemania! We are a little over a month away from the Royal Rumble and things are getting HOT! Our next big WWE program will be Monday Night Raw: One Year on Netflix and things could change in a big way. Let's not forget outside of that.. we do have an AEW PPV in a few weeks as well. We have a lot to talk about from Raw, so let's get into it! Kicking off: Gunther After his win over Cena in his final match.. things were up to 11 with this opening. I don't give a damn what anyone says.. this was amazing. You can hate Gunther all you like (or even Triple H) but that doesn't change that he is now one of the best in the business. I love this for him. I love the "I don't give a shit" attitude.. the arrogant vibe, and the shit eating smile. It's perfect and I can't wait to see where go with this next. I did see them teasing AJ Styles... which would be pretty damn good as well.  The Usos vs. New Day I don't like it. We...

WWE Friday Night Smackdown (Before NOC) Rundown

So, I am a little behind.. but that's okay. Right now I am going to talk about Smackdown, and we will get to Night of Champs later.. maybe later today, maybe tomorrow morning. I haven't made up my mind just yet. Regardless, we have a lot to talk about.. so let's get into it!

-Kicking off Smackdown: Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton

This part was a little dicey.. There was a tech issue and the feed was cut for those LIVE, however it was edited as best as possible when it aired in the United States. The two went back and forth with their choice of words, and the match is made my friends. I don't know about anyone else but this promo was different with Cody. I have this feeling that we are going to be seeing more of a heel Cody.. 

-Jimmy Uso vs. JC Mateo

I thought the whole Bloodline story was over.. and never coming back. Who am I kidding.. this is never going to end. I wasn't really thrilled with the match overall, but the story is there. There was some interference (like we didn't know that would happen) and JC ended up getting the win. I just want to know.. what the hell is the end game with this? Could we really see another Bloodline War Games? Because the more I think about it.. the more I could see it happening. Let's hope not.

-Zelina Vega vs. Giulia (U.S. Title)

Okay.. so here is my issue. I loved the match, it was actually much better than I thought it was going to be. Both women looked wonderful and worked well together as well. But in the end, it was Giulia that picked up the win to become your NEW Women's US Champ. I love Zelina. She is wonderful and amazing at everything that she does.. don't get me wrong. I just feel like this run was SO pushed and forced. They shouldn't have allowed Vega to go after the title so many times previously, they should have had her win FIRST... but that is just my opinion. Regardless, good on Giulia for picking up the win and getting her first title on the main roster. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, and who will be next to challenge her. 

-Jade/Asuka Promo

Both women are wonderful, and deserve to win to be honest. I could see Asuka winning and facing Tiffy for sure, I think the match would be damn good. However, I can see the story for Jade if she wins.. but we will get to that later on. We did see Naomi come out to talk crap, and while Jade went for her.. Asuka went in for the attack. 

-DIY vs. Andrade and Rey Fenix

I honestly don't even remember how this match came to be, but it was damn good. The overall match was very fun, and refreshing. In the end, it was Andrade and Rey Fenix that picked up the win. Having Rey tag with Andrade makes me think we will see a small run with those two.. before Penta will need help on Raw. What do we think about this? Could we see the Lucha Bros sooner than later? Or will they wait until the draft after Summer Slam to reunite the two?

-The Street Profits vs. Wyatt Sicks (Tag Titles)

Can we please talk about the Wyatt Sicks entrance? Because omg yes. We saw (once again) a new Uncle Howdy look.. and this time it caught more than just a few eyes. Are we seeing a completely NEW Uncle Howdy? Or is he morphing into something he should have been all along? Only time will tell. The match was pretty good overall, but as expected.. we did see the other tag teams get involved. We have about 5 weeks until Summer Slam.. just enough time for a little tag team tournament to see who will face the Street Profits. This would also be THE perfect way to push the Wyatts.. and give them the spotlight they deserve. I mean come on.. they debuted last JUNE and have yet to be on a PPV.. given... 5-6 months of that was Bo Dallas being out with injury. WWE... don't screw this up.

-Tiffany Stratton vs. Nia Jax (Women's Title)

I hope to GOD.. this is the last time we see these two go at it. Both women are wonderful.. but you can only put them together so many times. The match itself was better than I expected it to be, and was a bit brutal at times. Tiffy was able to put Nia through a table, allowing her to pick up the win.. after Nia was OUT. Who will Tiffy face next? Asuka or Jade? What about Naomi? Hmm..

-John Cena/PunkLife

This whole segment went CRAZY and I loved it. I never in a million years thought we would see this, and I actually enjoyed it. After Cena came out to talk some trash.. we heard an oh so familiar theme..Thuganomics. And we saw Punk, dressed just like Cena from back in the day. This promo was WILD and something I didn't expect. If you haven't seen this, you 110% should.

overall: 8.1/10

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

**Night of Champs Rundown will be out tomorrow morning. Last night was pretty rough with my little one, so the extra rest is much needed.

UP NEXT: Monday Night Raw

*We will talk about what is to come tomorrow on the next blog*

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 Monday Night Raw Rundown/Review

What a time, everyone. I have been going going going for the last week or so.. so much that I haven't blogged. I hate when I have to skip weeks, but to be honest... sometimes it is like that. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it! -Kicking off Raw: Rhea Ripley We love Mami.. and she is MAD. Rhea addresses the attack of Asuka from last week.. which of course resulted in Iyo to come out as well. It wasn't long until Asuka and Kairi made themselves known and a brawl was set. This time.. it was Iyo that was misted by Asuka. My guess is that we are going to see some tag team action much sooner than later. I enjoyed this very much overall.. and am pretty happy that we are having Rhea and Iyo set away from the title action. But the question is.. when it is all set and done, are we going to see Rhea or Iyo turn on one another in a shocking turn of events? -Intercontinental Championship: Dominik Mysterio vs. Rusev I won't lie.. I was a little shocked about this...

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...
