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 Friday Night Smackdown Rundown/Review

It's time for Crown Jewel... it's actually going on right now, but I am waiting until tonight to watch it. It's a little hard to watch when a buck wild 3 year old is going all out. But... for now let's talk about Smackdown. We've got a lot to talk about!

-Kicking off Smackdown: Cody Rhodes

This was pretty much a given overall... Cody did come out to the ring and talk about Seth and his match.. It wasn't the best but it was something. Honestly.. I have no idea with the outcome on this match. I would love to see Cody win, but at the same time.. could Seth have something up his sleeve?  

-Sami Zayn vs. Shinsuke Nakamura

I am LOVING Sami doing these open challenges, it's so much fun.. and let's us know he is a fighting champ. I love it! This time it was Shinsuke that made his return to face Sami. The match was amazing overall, I enjoyed it.. but it ended with Tama Tonga returning and MFT attacking to end the match. I am so excited about this.. I have a feeling things are going to really heat up with the returns coming up and all. But with no pin on Shinsuke, does this mean he will get a rematch down the line? 

-Stephanie Vaquer and Tiffany Stratton vs. Giulia and Kiana James

This match was pretty good overall I will say.. but I really hope this doesn't lead to Tiffy vs Giulia down the line. I take nothing away from Giulia at all, she is wonderful.. but I would LOVE to see more of the title she has being put to a good feud.. It's been pretty lacking, so I am hoping after this weekend, it will heat back up. In the end, it was Stephanie and Tiffy that picked up the win.

-The Wyatt Sicks vs. Street Profits

We got to hear Street Profits come out to their old music and it was wonderful! And sadly, we still didn't see Uncle Howdy. I'll talk about that in just a moment. The match itself was pretty good, and I enjoyed it.. I kept waiting for something to happen, but the match did end pretty clean.. and the Wyatt Sicks retained! YAY! HOWEVER.. it was then that MFT made themselves known, and it's clear that they are ready for a fight. We saw Nikki (of all people) step up to Solo.. and Solo let Nikki know that he was looking for Uncle Howdy.

**I have nothing confirmed, so please take this with a grain of salt: With all the theories and rumors going around, I honestly don't think that Bo Dallas is injured at this time. I have reason to believe that he is on a small break, waiting on the right time (story wise), waiting on costume changes, or.. it could be a personal matter. Please remember also.. we are not entitled to know anything about their personal lives, and as much as it might pain us.. it's better to say patient, than to keep getting our hopes up. After this week, I do think that Bo will back in some shape or form next week. Again.. this is NOT confirmed... just my best guess of how things are shaping up. 

-Aleister Black vs. Damian Priest

This match was wild from start to finish, and I really liked it! While I wasn't very sure when this feud first started, I must say.. they work wonderful together. If you haven't watched this match, you for sure need to.. 

The ending got me tho, it really did. I didn't expect Zelina Vega to come out from the crowd to talk Damian out of going any further in the match. It was then that Black hit Priest with a fire ball to pick up the win. Talk about a wild finish! But is this where it ends? Or could we possibly see Rhea get involved later on down the road? That... that would be good!

Overall: 8.2/10

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UP NEXT: Crown Jewel 

Predictions:  

Bronson Reed vs Roman: Bronson Reed
Tiffany vs Stephanie: Tiffy 
AJ Styles vs John Cena: Cena
Cody Rhodes vs Seth Rollins: Seth Rollins
Rhea/Iyo vs Kabuki Warriors: Rhea/Iyo

Could we see some surprises? Who knows... 

I'll be doing my best to tweet when I watch later on today!

until next time

xoxo,

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...
