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 Monday Night Raw Rundown

 What a freakin week, am I right? Of course I am a day late on my rundown.. but between food poisoning and with the little one sick.. it's been WILD over here. Regardless, the show must go on. We've got a good bit to talk about with Monday Night Raw.. and what is going on the next few weeks with wrestling news. Don't forget, Smackdown was in fact taped after Monday Night Raw.. so if you are wanting to avoid spoilers, please don't go looking for them. While I still have a little bit of insight on what happens on Smackdown this week.. I won't have the full rundown until Saturday or Sunday. I haven't decided which day yet because I think I am going to see my family the weekend.. just haven't decided on a day yet. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!

-Kicking off Monday Night Raw: Rhea Ripley

Okay okay... there is ALOT of talk about this situation, so let's dive in. Rhea Ripley came in to talk about what is next and going into Evolution. Iyo Sky did make herself known as well, all to say that she was looking to face Rhea next basically. As much as I love Iyo and all.. this run she has been on hasn't been my favorite, and is very lacking in my opinion. I think we all know she is SO much better than this. So in the end, it does look like we are getting Iyo and Rhea at Evolution 2. A lot of people are saying "Oh look it's Rhea Hogan"... Tell me, WHO ELSE? Who else is going to fill the shoes? With Liv out.. things did change a bit. We also have to think.. with Rhea filling in with last minute plans, could there by anyone that would ruin this match and cost Rhea? Think it though, friends. Regardless, this could be very interesting moving forward. 

-World Tag Team Championship Match: New Day vs. The Judgment Day

Okay, please understand how much this pains me... and I can't believe this words are even coming out of me right now. BUT THANK GOD... The New Day isn't champions anymore. The New Day are wonderful, they really are.. and I have no idea where this went wrong, but this run.. was terrible. The Judgement Day was able to regain the tag team titles in a DAMN good match. Let's just hope that this title run for Judgement Day is much better than the last. I can for sure see this going through Summer Slam. 

-Sheamus vs. Rusev

Was this a good match, oh yes it was. However.. I just can't put my finger on this feeling for this feud. Having Rusev return just seems off to me... like.. him as a character. He looks just give out and out of place. We did see Rusev pick up the win, which was shocking.. but we already know this feud will be going on for a little while. Summer Slam match? Oh for sure. 

BACKSTAGE NOTES:

-We saw Chad Gable is injured and will be stepping away. We also saw El Grande... in which we know is Ludwig. Interesting to say the least... have they been switching the two out here and there?

-Kross attacked Sami once again.. looks like this is going further than we thought. 

-Gunther Promo and More:

This whole segment was wild overall. Gunther said what he said, and I really hope that Gunther retains at SNME. We did see Seth Rollins come to the ring as well. Punk, LA Knight, and Rollins joined as well.. Multiple storylines were told, and to be honest.. it was perfect. Things are really starting to heat up for Summer Slam!

-Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria

This whole situation was good, but we all know where it is going... even before this match was announced. The build up has been a little bleak in my opinion, but I can understand the stretch. The match ended up being a draw... which confirmed that Becky will defend her IC title in a triple threat most likely at Evolution 2.  

-Sami Zayn and Penta vs. Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker

This match was actually pretty dang good overall. I am loving the story telling, and feel we are getting closer to another shocking moment with this. Heyman mentioned "plan b".. which makes me believe we are getting someone else in the mix. But the question is.. WHO? We did see Bronson/Bron pick up the win.. and attempted a post match beat down. However. .this just wasn't happening. Jey Uso returned and stood tall in the end with Sami and Penta. Hmm.. how does this look moving forward? What is next in the story line heading into SNME and Summer Slam?

Overall: 7.5/10 

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

UP NEXT: Friday Night Smackdown

-We know Roxanne has taken Liv's place with the titles, what teams will they face at Evolution 2?
-Will the Wyatt Sicks go for the tag team titles again?
-What is next for Cena and Cody going into Summer Slam?
-More women's matches announced? 

**We have SO much wrestling coming within two weeks.. so I will be doing my best to keep up with blogs and live tweeting. 

until next time

xoxo,
Chels

 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...
