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 Night of Champions (Rundown)

We are a little behind, but that's alright.. It has been one crazy time over here. TONIGHT is Monday Night Raw and I will be tweeting as best as possible. There is an EARLY start time tonight for Raw, so be sure to keep that noted if you are watching LIVE. I won't be however, due to conflicting time with dinner and getting the little one ready for bed. Tonight will also be the taping of Friday Night Smackdown, so be sure to stay away from spoilers. I prob won't be able to avoid them, but it isn't the end of the world. So let's be reminded now.. if you DON'T want spoilers then please avoid twitter for the week, AND be sure to mute the words if needed until then. We are less than TWO weeks away from Saturday Night Main Event AND Evolution 2.. for my AEW fans, we are also less than TWO weeks away from All In: Texas.. and if you are like me trying to watch all of them.. it's going to be a WILD two weeks leading up to all of it. 

This past weekend, it was Night of Champs for WWE.. and the game has changed a bit as we shift gears going not only into Saturday Night Main Event and Evolution 2.. but the stage is becoming more set for the FIRST ever Summer Slam 2 NIGHT EVENT! Oh.. how things are going to be wild. Let's get into it!

-Kicking off Night of Champs: King of the Ring Final: Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton

This match was damn good overall. BUT.. we did see another side of Cody if you know what I mean. While the match itself between the two has been pushing for a while, we saw a new side of Cody that had me a little on edge. Are we finally going to see heel Cody? His intentions seemed dark and calculated, almost desperate. We saw Cody start to target the hurt points on Randy, and used it to his advantage. Of course, Randy knew.. and his reaction told a story of pissed off and revenge. In the end (and as expected) Cody got the win.. and he told the crowd that it was time he got the ball back. So.. what will we see next? Cody and Cena at Summer Slam.. but I smell something alittle more coming our way.

-Riyadh Boulevard Street Fight: Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez

I honestly don't know what I expected going into this match, but it wasn't this. I actually was impressed by this overall, and was hoping we would see Rhea really put over Raquel.. while we did see Rhea do just that.. it just wasn't enough. Roxanne did come to the aid of Raquel, but Rhea was too much and picked up the win. I don't see why Raquel couldn't win this.. it's not like Rhea has something to lose on this. The question is.. where does this leave Roxanne and Raquel? What will become of the Women's Tag Team Titles? With Liv out.. things have really changed up for the rest of the year. Only time will tell. 

-Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross

I really feel this whole thing has been well over hyped. Now.. I take NOTHING away form Karrion or Sami.. both are wonderful and deserve their flowers. This match was just a little odd to me.. where does this go from here? While I did feel Karrion set to win.. out of no where, Sami did pick up the win. The story overall is very strange to me. And now it seems Sami will be in another match outside of anything to do with Karrion. Hmm.. just when I thought I had it figured out, no I don't...

-United States Championship Match: Jacob Fatu vs. Solo Sikoa

I'm all kind of messed up with this match. I love this feud going on.. but something about this whole situation rubbed me the wrong way. The match was good.. BUT... we saw the return of Tanga Loa to come help Solo, and we also saw the debut of Hikuleo... to come to the aid of Solo and take out Jacob. This allowed Solo to pick up the win, and become your NEW Men's US Champ. So happy for Solo.. but now we are back in the whole Bloodline situation, and it's really old. We still have Tama to return as well.. so will he join Jacob or Solo? Do we see Jimmy and potentially Jey in the mix to come to the aid of Jacob in the future? Messy.

 

-Queen of the Ring Final: Asuka vs. Jade Cargill

Both of these wonderful women deserved the chance for this overall... but the match just wasn't there for me. While Jade is very much improving and showing what she can bring to the table, it was a bit "iffy" for me. I did want Asuka to win.. she did not. Jade brought home the crown, which made all the most sense. Now we have it set for not only Tiffy.. but Naomi and potentially Bianca as well. Going into Summer Slam.. this feud might be one of the most important.  

-Undisputed WWE Championship Match: CM Punk vs. John Cena

I will admit, it had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. These two are wonderful, and it did made me sad to see them face off for the last time. While the match was good, we did see some issues.. Seth Rollins and his crew did come to the ring, briefcase in hand. Sami and Penta came to help save that as well. What really got me.. was we did see Seth hit Punk with the briefcase... allowing Punk to not lose clean. Cena got the win.. and retained his title. This ensures that we 100% see Cody and Cena at Summer Slam. But the question is... how will that match end? And what will the full build look like? Could we see (in an INSANE turn of events) heel Cody and face Cena? 

Overall: 7.9/10

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...
