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 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 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...
