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.

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...

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that).  War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship.  First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so.  Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match.  Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.  Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...
