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/Review

Last night was the final Smackdown before Clash in Paris on Sunday... and boy do we have a lot to talk about. This might be wild to say, but does anyone not like Raw but LOVE Smackdown right now? I feel like I am in that boat right now. I fully believe that a draft needs to take place OR.. just have some moving of wrestlers to make it a bit more even. Regardless... ALOT went down on Smackdown.. so let's get into it!

-Kicking off Smackdown: John Cena/Logan Paul Promo/Face Off

I love it and I don't... I don't know, it just seems so forced and a little disappointing seeing that the time is ticking away for Cena and his final matches. I would have loved to see him face someone else. Regardless, the promos between these two are insane. Both know how to spit it, and can for sure get under each others nerves. If you haven't watched their promos over the last few weeks, please do. I look forward to see what will take place tomorrow.. who will win... and will Brock show up?

*Backstage we saw The Street Profits preparing for their match against Melo Don't Miz.. and we saw someone we haven't in a while. We saw Bo Dallas (out of Howdy character) talking to both Montez and Dawkins... but it did seem it was more towards Montez. This isn't something we have seen from Bo in over a year, and it did make things very interesting moving forward. Could we see some BIG turns at Clash in Paris?

-Alexa Bliss vs. Chelsea Green

What was suppose to be a tag team title match... wasn't... this comes after Chelsea Green and Alba Fire attacked Charlotte before the match. Could this be extending their run.. before a potential turn? The match itself was pretty good overall, and in the end.. we did see Alexa pick up the win. So.. what is next?

-Michin vs. Kiana James

Very much pissed about this. Why tho? Just give the title to Michin already, and stop the madness. The Women's US title is a joke and it just seems to be getting worse. The title run thus far has been unbearable... Michin has been after a title for MONTHS and MONTHS and no result. However.. she still gets more and more chances. Please stop the suffering. Now.. no hate to Michin, she is wonderful.. the booking is just complete booty at this point. Make it interesting... And having Kiana James lose in like 5 seconds is diabolical, like why? 

-Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton Face Off

A good bit happened here, so if you haven't watched then please do. It looks like we are extending the whole Drew situation for a little while longer. Cody Rhodes STILL hasn't been seen since Drew's attack.. which we know that he has been filming AND... news broke that Cody and Brandi welcomed a new baby girl to their family. While I am very happy for them, this also leads the question.. why put the title on someone with such a full schedule? Maybe a little tone deaf to say but it's a little irritating. Regardless, do we think we will see Cody sooner than later?

**Just as Street Profits, Bo Dallas paid a visit to Melo and The Miz backstage.. interesting if you ask me. 

-The Street Profits vs. Melo Don't Miz

This match was very good and I enjoyed it for the most part. I couldn't tell who was going to win.. and in a strange turn of events, I wasn't expecting to see The Wyatt Sicks in the match itself. Now.. they didn't touch either team.. but just having their presence scared the hell out of Miz.. resulting in Melo not being able to get a tag. This cost them the match.. and now Street Profits will face Wyatt Sicks at Clash in Paris for the tag titles. Could we FINALLY see The Street Profits turn on each other? Regardless, this is one match I am actually looking forward to. 

-United States Championship Match: Sami Zayn vs. Solo Sikoa

This has been so weird overall. I understand the background of the feud, don't get me wrong.. but Sami beating Solo like..2 other times kind of made me think something else was going to happen. Regardless, the match was actually very good, and some parts had me on the edge of my seat. In the end, we FINALLY got Sami winning the US Championship! How exciting! Now.. the question is, where else will this go? Who will Sami face next? 

Overall: 8.9/10

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

UP NEXT: Clash in Paris PLE

-Will we see any NEW champ?
-Returns?
-SHOCKING TURNS?

**I WILL NOT be LIVE tweeting this PLE, but will be tweeting as I am watching tomorrow evening. I'll be avoiding as many spoilers as possible. 

until next time

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...
