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

We are now TWO weeks away from Night of Champions, and it's going to be BIG! I can't wait to see this full PLE unfold and what it will all hold. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!

-Kicking Off Smackdown

John Cena made his arrival to give a little promo about what all went down on Raw this week. However, it wasn't long until Cody Rhodes made himself known. I really enjoyed this interaction, and let's me see what is hopefully to come in the near future. Randy also made himself know, and then right after that.. LA Knight. The best part? Right after this little promo, Ron Killings came out and attacked Cena from behind. I thought this was wonderful to be honest!

-LA Knight vs Randy Orton vs Carmelo Hayes vs Aleister Black

I enjoyed this so much! I really didn't expect the ending tho, I will say that. I thought that it was for sure going to be Knight taking the win.. but also thought about Black picking up the win. HOWEVER, Bronson Reed did come in for the sneak to take out Knight. This allowed Randy to take over and pin Knight to advance in the King of the Ring. Hmm.. could this mean we see Randy vs Cody? Hmm.. this is very interesting moving forward into this.. and going into Summer Slam. 

-Jade Cargill vs. Piper Niven vs. Nia Jax vs. Michin

Honestly, I didn't care for this match overall. It was kind of obvious who was going to win, and moving into it.. I think I know the ending. While there was a couple of "woah" spots, that was about it... For a moment, I did think we were going to see Nia win.. but no. Jade Cargill picked up the win to move forward. Theory: WHAT IF.. we see Jade win the whole thing (as reported, she is getting her push) and win the Queen of the Ring. This would mean Jade will face Tiffy at Summer Slam. The match goes on.. and we will see Naomi come in and cost Jade cashing in. BUT WHAT IF... Bianca comes back and potentially costs Naomi? Or will she join her?? THINK ABOUT THIS!

-Motor City Machine Guns vs. Wyatt Sicks

MCMG will be the first ones to face the Wyatt Sicks.. and it was pretty dang good. There WAS a spot that was a little messy, but I truly think that was due to the ref. Overall, it was very good and I enjoyed it. Wyatt Sicks did pick up the win and will go on to the next victims. So it seems it's Wyatt Sicks vs EVERYONE moving forward. This will most likely mean they will face each tag team going into Summer Slam. There is 6 weeks until Summer Slam.. and there are at least 3 other tag teams they are having to go through. Could we see NEW tag teams at one of THE biggest Summer Slams?? This could be very interesting moving forward. 

-Cena/Punk

Once again we saw Cena come out and give another promo. This time it was talking about Ron Killings and the attack from earlier in the night. He called out Ron but it wasn't Ron that came out. It was Punk! The two exchanged heated words, and it was pretty dang good overall! By the end of it.. once again Ron Killings attacked Cena.. and it seems we have another match next week on Smackdown between the two. This.. should be good. And interesting. 

-Charlotte Flair vs. Alba Fyre vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Candice LeRae

This match was much better than I thought it was going to be.. and Alexa interrupting Charlotte's entrance was such a nice touch. Overall, the match was good. Before Chelsea's replacement of Alba.. I thought she was going to win, but I honestly forgot about her nose situation. We did see a little tension between Char and Alexa.. and as Char put on the figure four on Alba... Alexa gave Candice a Sister Abigail... and got the win. Are we getting a full blown crash out from Char? I hope so!

-Cody Rhodes vs. Damian Priest vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Andrade

While this match was pretty predicable, I was pretty dang good. I enjoyed the back and forth and the feel of importance of the overall match. In the end.. it was Cody that got the pin to move on. So it DOES seem we will be getting Cody vs Randy! Hmm.. could this ALSO mean we have the potential to see Cody vs Jey in the finals?? Oh.. that would be AMAZING! 

Overall: 8.7/10

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

Up Next: Monday Night Raw

-What will happen with the Judgement Day moving forward?
-Will we see Goldberg return to face Gunther after Gunther won back the title?
-Will Becky and Bayley meet face to face after the attack last week?
-Who will advance in the King/Queen of the Ring matches?

We are moving into such a crazy time in wrestling! We have Night of Champions, Saturday Night Main Event, Evolution, and All In to look forward to.. Not to mention Summer Slam (2 NIGHTS). With Summer Slam happening in about 6 weeks, all of this will be taking place before that! It's going to be WILD YALL!

until next time

xoxo,

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...
