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 Clash in Paris -- Rundown/Review

Going into this PLE, I wasn't sure what to think.. overall.. I didn't think I was going to enjoy it either. The card (at the time) wasn't something I was happy with.. and honestly thought I might skip it. However, by showtime.. I was very much interested. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!

Kicking Off: Roman Reigns vs Bronson Reed

This match was REALLY good, but did run a little longer than I have liked. I didn't expect to see Roman pick up the win.. but was really happy we did. However.. by the end... everything made a little more sense. Post match we saw Bron Breakker come into play.. and Breakker and Reed beat down Roman, sending him on his way via stretcher. We also did see Jey come out to help, but it seemed it was a little too late. 

**It has since been reported that Roman has been "taken out" for the time being due to going to film 'Street Fighter' over the next couple of weeks. 

-The Wyatt Sicks vs Street Profits for the WWE Tag Team Titles

I've seen such mixed reviews on this match, but in my opinion.. this was great. The story is going wonderful and it makes perfect sense.. The power that the Wyatt Sicks has is wonderful and I think this is only the start. Both teams really did amazing, and you can more than see the cracks forming in The Street Profits now. The Wyatts did retain their titles, and now it is on to the next. So who will it be? The Miz and Melo? Or.. (as reported) MFT? Regardless, I can still see a couple of more months with Wyatt Sicks holding onto the tag titles. 

-Women's Intercontinental Championship: Nikki Bella vs. Becky Lynch

I didn't care for it. I hate that.. but it's true. Now.. don't get me wrong, both of these ladies are WONDERFUL but this match just wasn't it. It does make sense now (that I have watched the entire thing) that Becky does retain.. but I wish there was something a little more to it. I really hope whoever is next to face Becky does in fact win, but this run with Becks just don't feel right to me.  

-Good Old-Fashioned Donnybrook: Sheamus vs. Rusev

 One of the matches that I wasn't looking forward to at all, ended up being one of my favorites after all. You want to talk about hard hitting and being on the edge of your seat the ENTIRE TIME. Both men worked AMAZING together, and took each other to the limit. I fully expected Sheamus to pick up the win (esp after the last couple of weeks on Raw) but when Rusev made him tap out.. I was SHOCKED. Now.. while having these two go at it.. and the feud finally being over.. I hope what is next for both men is so much better overall.

-John Cena vs. Logan Paul

I didn't get to watch this entire match how I wanted to (some tiny human didn't want to go to sleep) what I did watch was pretty good. Now mind you.. this was another match I wasn't too thrilled about. I will say.. both men went CRAZY on each other and they preformed one HELL of a match. The back and forth.. the finishers... all just had you biting your nails at who was going to win. In a shocking turn of events (because I was SO convinced Logan was going to win) Cena did pick up the win. As much as I crap on Logan Paul.. boy did freaking amazing. But now is the question.. who will be next? Do we finally see Brock again? Or will there be someone else before then?

-Fatal 4-Way Match for the World Heavyweight Championship

VERY much conflicted about this whole situation. Now before.. we did get the news from Adam Pearce that Bron and Bronson were banned from the building and if they showed up.. they would be "fired". So.. that made me believe that we would be seeing a 4th man. 

The match itself was pretty good overall. There were some spots that I didn't expect.. the "working together" and turning all at once, the table spots.. just wild overall. I didn't expect for Seth to lose it, so that wasn't really on my mind. However we did have to remember.. being a fatal 4 way.. there are no rules. So when Punk ALMOST had it won.. someone came behind (dressed in all black) and did a low blow. This resulted in Punk losing to Seth once again. The masked person.. BECKY LYNCH. Didn't see this one coming by any means.. I mean sure, it has been talked about previously, but I didn't think it would actually become something down the line. SO......... does this mean we have a possible AJ Lee returning?? I'm not expecting it, because to be honest.. after hearing her talk about her mental health before she retired... I just want her healthy and happy. If anything... Bayley should be helping Punk... you know, since there is already some heat with Becky and all.

Overall: 7.2/10

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...
