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.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: A Broserweight Road Trip To Portland, Britt Baker Addresses Her Attack On Yuka Sakazaki Last Week.

While this was a typical night for AEW, NXT, however, had a go-home show to deliver just days before the next anticipated Takeover show in Portland, Oregon.  But, NXT's final show before the second Takeover of 2020 didn't bring it, unfortunately, in terms of quality as the 20th episode of AEW Dynamite was the better show this week even though AEW Dynamite is a hit or miss program.  NXT    Highlights.  Roderick Strong vs Bronson Reed. Before the match, a pissed off Roderick Strong demanded an apology from the Velveteen Dream given that Dream put his wife and child's face on his trucks.  By the way, Bronson Reed's theme song is killer and so is this match. A slow, technical, old-school type of match that wouldn't fit the big man on paper but the execution was a different story.  The lights turned purple and Reed hits the suicide dive but he missed a Samoan splash that led to a knee strike from Strong and wins the match.  Then,...

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara...

Roman Reigns Relinquishes The Universal Title Because He Has Leukemia.

I have a sad and unfortunate news to break. Two hours ago on RAW, Roman cut a great promo pretty much stating that he's been living with leukemia for over 11 years and the disease's return forced him to give up the universal championship. The segment ended with both shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins gave a group hug to Roman and did the triple shield fist pump. Ever since that, fellow WWE superstars reacted to the news on Twitter and here are the tweets so far. An amazing human being, an incredible performer & a man I’m proud to be friends with. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Get well soon, champ! #ThankYouRoman https://t.co/jL1Q5dVvzs — #WOKEN, yet #BROKEN, Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) October 23, 2018 My heart right now ....
