WWE RAW 25/6/18 | My Coherent Review.



RAW last night was meh at best. Why you ask? Well, i'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad in non chronogical order. Now, on with the review.


WHAT'S GOOD


They're back

Where was authors of pain all this time? Well according to wrestling news source, the reason why they've been off TV for few months is simple. Creative have nothing for them which sucks considering that their a good hand for the tag team division. A feud is in place with titus and apollo and yes the match is going to be very predictable but it's better than being off TV for months.


Alexa Bliss's promo

Mickie is angry that “the angry maniac” Ronda Rousey attacked Bliss last week.

Although i'm not a fan of alexa winning the championship last week, she carried herself pretty well. In other words, her promo was great. By far the best thing about this promo was that she "thanked" everyone about her cash in. I'll let you guys figure that out. By the way, Nia jax is back and smiling hard as hell. The match after that with natalya was ok. Natalya wins here with the sharpshooter. Hoping their match at extreme rules is at least decent at best considering that both matches between nia and alexa sucked. 



The intercontinental championship match



Rollins and Ziggler collide at full speed!

All i can say about this match is WOW! What a match. Started a bit slow for me but it picked the hell up. I mean this is a pay per view quality match for me. The match ends with drew costing seth the match after seth delivered a falcon arrow. I didn't care when roman showed up to save him only to possibly leading up to a tag team match next week. I'll assume that a rematch is gonna happen at extreme rules which i don't mind. 



WHAT'S OK

To be honest, i didn't care all that much about the heel turn but i'm interested on what creative will handle this new persona of bayley. 


WHAT'S BAD



Rest of the show felt very similar of last week's show

The tag team title feud, the opening segment and the match after that, Mojo rawley refusing to face no way Jose and braun teaming up with kevin owens vs corbin and finn balor are just the examples of how this show felt very similar to last week with exceptions. I mean WWE, can you just come up with fresh matchups and storylines instead of basically rehashing last week's show? Very lazy writing on WWE's part.

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

The 5 News Week: There Was Supposed To Be A New Nation Of Domination Stable!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. Why Did The Sasha Banks And Asuka Match Have A Head Scratching Ending? The boss and the empress of tomorrow had a match of the night at Extreme Rules this past Sunday but the ending is a different story.  So, why did an over-complicated type of an ending like this was written into the PPV?  Well, good old Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez stated on Wrestling Observer Radio (From Cagesideseats ) that the finish was layed off like that so that the rematch (which was announced on the recent episode of Monday) will happen.  The hope for that is to "pop a number" in the ratings.  In other words, it was a reported marketing decision (no f'ing sh*t, Omar). Hey, at least we're getting a rematch, right?  Mike Bennett On Contemplating Leaving Pro...

WWE Smackdown 17/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening.  Images via WWE.com   The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Shanky.  After a backstage segment that included The Usos roasting Xavier Woods' kingship, the blue brand really started the show with a match (not this one) which is a rare thing to see on main roster television. And the match wasn't bad at all.  The Viking Raider defeated the team of Jinder and Shanky with a splash from Ivor. Does everyone want a Happy Corbin segment? Well, no and Drew McIntyre agrees as he took out Corbin and Madcap Moss to retrieve his sword which sounds like a bad King Arthur comedy flick or something.  Naomi Wants A Match With Sonya Deville.  Naomi is upset at how Sonya Deville acted like a Susan over the past few months so the glow queen challenged the actual manager to a match at Day 1 and Sonya was like, "Ahhhh, no".  Naomi then had a match with Shayna Baszler and within minute...
