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 Money in the Bank Rundown/Review

 What a freakin time that was had at Money in the Bank.. my friends, we have a lot to talk about.. so let's get into it!

-Kicking off: Women's Money in the Bank

OH OKAY... I was very much impressed with the overall of this match. You could tell everyone was into it as well with the "This is awesome" chants. The ending had me on the edge of my seat because you really couldn't tell who was going to pull off the win.. but as expected, it was Naomi! I did want Alexa or Rhea to win.. but with this new character with Naomi.. this might be REALLY GOOD. Naomi has the chance to do some amazing work.. however it does led you to believe that Jade or Bianca could cost her the cash in. Moving forward, don't sleep on Naomi. 

-Dominik Mysterio vs. Octagón Jr. (Men's Intercontinental Championship)

Sadly I didn't get to watch this entire match, but it is important to remind that this match was less than 10 minutes. From what I saw, this match was pretty good.. and I am truly starting to like the AAA involvement. Dom did pick up the win to retain his title. 

-Lyra Valkyria vs. Becky Lynch (Women's Intercontinental Championship)

The overall match was pretty predictable, but I enjoyed this match. I didn't expect the match to be THAT good but it was. Both women work so well together, and I would love for this to keep going a couple more weeks. This whole situation really did wonders for Lyra, as well. Like clock work, Becky was able to pin Lyra for the win.. but it did seem Becky wasn't all "honest" in her pin. We have a NEW Women's IC champ. I smell Bayley lurking for one hell of a feud going into Summer Slam.

-Men's Money in the Bank

Okay, I thought the women's MITB was keeping me on the edge of my seat.. good God. This match was INTENSE (and in the best way possible). These men went to war to get their hands on the MITB briefcase. And for awhile there I was positive that El Grande was going to win.. and I was going to cry. We saw involvement as well.. not only from Seth's group but from Fatu! Can we all agree that Bron is a freaking beast?? Because oh my God. We ALMOST saw Solo win, but Jacob remembered what was said about him behind his back.. and screamed out "I HATE YOU SOLO" pushing Solo off the ladder. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS FEUD! It went back an forth for a while between LA Knight and Seth.. but it was Seth Rollins that was able to grab the briefcase for the 2nd time in his career. Did LA deserve it? Yes 110%.. but with Seth.. it does make sense. 

-John Cena and Logan Paul vs. Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes

While I wasn't thrilled starting off.. it did seem a bit slow and lacking, it did pick up some in the 2nd half of it all. Overall it was okay and they did what they were suppose to. It wasn't until the ending that Cena hit Cody with the belt to attempt to steal the win. However, it was someone dressed in black that attacked Cody.. that man... was R Truth! WHAT? This SHOOK me! R Truth came to SAVE WRESTLING my friends, and I was thrilled. WWE fans really bullied WWE into bringing him back. But. it does seem that he will be going by his real name.. Ron Killings. I hope this go.. he is treated properly, and we see a whole new side of Truth. Because of this.. Cody and Jey did pick up the win. 

Overall:  8.1/10

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

-Will we see Naomi on BOTH brands now?
-What is next for Roxanne and The Judgement Day?
-Will we get an announcement about matches for King/Queen of the Ring?

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...
