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/Review

What a freakin time Monday Night Raw was.. we've got ALOT to talk about so let's get into it!

-Kicking off: The Vision

What a promo this was, not to mention what was said. Looking back now.. there were hints to what happened in closing, but we will get to that. Seth pretty much told everyone he can do.. and did everything on his own. Which is wild... but okay. The crowd really played into all of this as well.. I thought this was interesting all the way around, and goes hand in hand with some of the other feuds Seth has been in before. Let's think about The Shield for a moment.. because... there are similar feelings. I was shocked that no one came out to stop or interrupt any of this. 

-Dominik Mysterio vs. Penta (IC Title)

I didn't think there would be a time for this to happen.. but here we are. I am actually LOVING what Dom is doing right now. It's so fun and interesting overall. The match itself was very good, but we did see Rusev show up... he was eventually taken out by Penta. However.. we also had Dom pull some shenanigans, resulting in his win over Penta to retain his IC title. Out of all the people.. please don't let Rusev be the one to beat Dom.. I don't mean that I don't want Rusev to win anything, just not right now. 

-Rhea Ripley vs. Kairi Sane

While this match was good, I keep wondering where this is all going overall. Do we see a turn on someone? Kairi turning on Auska? Iyo turning on Rhea? Rhea turning on Iyo? Don't get me wrong, I am loving it.. but it just has me wondering where this could be going down the line. By the end, Rhea did pin Kairi for the win.. but it was Auska who attacked Iyo at the end. Another match coming?

-Bronson Reed vs. Jimmy Uso

I love Bronson, and I love Jimmy.. but this is getting a little old. Are we setting up for a final match in the form of War Games? Because I swear this feud between these groups just keep coming and coming. The match itself was okay for the most part.. but it was Bronson that got the win over Jimmy. Bron did show up as well, attacking Jimmy... and Jey came in for the save. 

-Bayley and Lyra Valkyria vs. Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez

Shocked, but I actually loved this match. All women work so wonderful together. However.. what the heck are they doing with Bayley? Do they even know? Is she just Bayley.... or do we have a split personality? We had weeks of promo, a few weeks of crazy back and forth Bayley.. now.... nothing? We did see Lyra "smack some sense" into Bayley.. but that was about it. Bayley and Lyra got the win. Are we seeing a major turn? Or.. did we completely  switch gears? 

-Jey Uso vs. LA Knight vs. CM Punk

This match was good! I was really happy overall with how it went.. I fully expected LA Knight to win... but was happily shocked when CM Punk picked up the win. Now it seems.. once again it will be Punk vs Rollins. Interesting... seeing as the possible time line I had pictured moving into Rumble/Mania season. However, this celebration wasn't long due to Seth and The Vision making themselves known. It wasn't long until Punk was out numbered, there was a post match beat down. 

**What I didn't expect.. was Bron Breakker spearing Seth. LIKE WHAT? This is INSANE to me.. and something that I did NOT see coming. Bron spoke with Bronson for a moment, and he joined in as well. The show ended with Bron holding up the title.. and The Vision..without Seth... stood tall. 

***ALSO... I was watching WWE Vault and it was The Shield videos. I couldn't help but think about (when it was shown) as Triple H said "Plan B... there is always a Plan B"... WHICH... is the same thing that Seth said, right? So this leads to question, is this a work? ANOTHER situation... there has been a picture posted from a fan, with Seth's arm in a sling. If you noticed during the beat down from Bron and Bronson, Seth made sure to protect that arm. And so did Bron/Bronson. Could this all (once again) be a work? Or is Seth really hurt, and preparing to drop the title?

Overall: 8.6/10

 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...
