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 Monday Night Raw Rundown/Review

This week has already been swamped, and it's only Tuesday. Honestly, the last like.. month has been WILD. Between doctor appointments, birthdays, health problems, and more... I am beat to pieces. But.. the show must go on! This is the first Monday Night Raw blog I have done in a minute... and to be honest, I didn't even notice until Saturday when I was working on Smackdown's blog. Regardless.. I am BACKKK.. and working on more content than ever. Let's get into it!

-Kicking off Raw: The Usos 

I'm so freakin happy to see these two together again.. but...will it last? Only time will tell after this promo/episode. It wasn't long until we did see Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker in the mix.. all four men exchanged words, until LA Knight made the attack on The Vision. Overall I did enjoy this.. but something just seems a little off with Jey. Are we going to see another side of him moving forward?

-AJ Styles vs. El Grande Americano

During the commercial break there was a small promo from a seemingly pissed off AJ Styles. Hmm.. they also made sure to post that said promo to WWE YouTube this morning. With AJ's contract expiring early 2026... does this mean we are seeing the final matches and feuds of AJ? 

We saw something pretty interesting here.. we saw a 2nd Grande Americano coming to El Grande's aid.. but then Dragon Lee came to help AJ ... resulting in AJ picking up the win. So... what the heck is happening here? What is up with the multiple Grande? Where is this even going? 

-Lyra Valkyria vs. Raquel Rodriguez

I enjoyed this match overall.. and I am really happy with everything Raquel is doing right now. She has improved so much over the last couple of months. In a shocking turn of events.. Raquel did pick up the win. But this does lead me to believe.. what is going on with Lyra? Is her losing having to tie into the Bayley situation?

**With Bayley: Her promos suggest a split personality? Could we see someone do a split personality outside of Bray and The Wyatt Sicks? I think Bayley of all people could pull this off in the best way. It isn't something you would think you'd see her do, but I think it would be wonderful! 

-AJ Lee returns to Monday Night Raw

I'm so happy to see AJ back on Raw! The crowd was amazing in welcoming her.. and she gave a very good promo. She did talk about her mental health and why she left overall.. but it wasn't long until we saw Becky come into the mix. This turned into Seth.. and eventually Punk making his way to the ring. The four had one hell of a promo and it was the match was suggested by AJ.. after she was willing to trade Becky's title for the tag team match. I have a feeling this is going to be REALLY good!

**ALSO: How wild was it to hear the crowd chant "therapy"... I love wrestling  

-Penta vs. Rusev

I thought this match was pretty good overall.. not something I really expected, but happy I got to see it. However I wasn't expecting to see Penta lose.. I really hope they aren't dropping the ball with the opportunity they have with Fenix as well. Maybe we will see a draft sooner than later?

-Nikki Bella vs. Asuka

I am not too sure about this whole situation. What are we doing here exactly? I feel there is so much happening with Asuka right now, and it's not terrible.. However, Nikki losing like this constantly is almost too much. Give the woman some grace will ya? Not only is she a Hall of Famer.. but she's been working fairly hard over the last few weeks. But... she is kind of being booked like a jobber. In the end.. Nikki lost to Asuka and it leads you to wonder what is next for Nikki...

-LA Knight vs. Bronson Reed

This whole thing is messy. I love it and hate it at the same time. The match itself was good, but you better believe that there was so bull crap mixed in with it. Of course Bron Breakker was there to make things a little harder for Knight... and of course Jey and Jimmy did their best to help out as well. However it just wasn't enough and Bronson Reed got the win over LA Knight. After the match however.. LA Knight ended up taking a spear from Jey.. and you could hear him say "it was all good" to Jimmy after. Are we getting full heel Jey? PLEASE for the love of GOD... don't turn Jimmy and Jey against each other again, I simply can't handle another feud between these two. Let them tag.. please let them tag.  

Overall: 7.8/10

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

UP NEXT: Friday Night Smackdown

-Will we hear from The Street Profits?
-What is next for The Wyatt Sicks?
-Tiffy vs Jade for the Women's Title
-Drew vs Randy
-Cody possibly return?

One more Monday Night Raw, 2 Smackdowns, and 2 Dynamites until All Out, and Wrestlepalooza ... things are expected to HEAT UP. It's going to be a WILD time!

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 ...

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...
