WWE Smackdown Live 31/7/18 | My Coherent Review.


Smackdown has been killing it with their summerslam build. In other words, that episode was great. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good and what's ok and the reason why there's no what's bad is quite obvious. Now with the review. 


WHAT'S GOOD


The Bar vs The Usos semi finals match

That was a great match. New day having their own commentary team was amazing. Absolutely comedic GOLD. Anyways the match ends with sheamus reversing the uso splash into a roll up to win this match. Advancing into the finals to determine the number one contender for the tag teams championship. Yes the match was filled with commercial breaks but again, great match. 

Samoa Joe's promo

Joe admits that he respects Styles for building his house on SmackDown LIVE and making the WWE Title the most important championship in WWE.
Look. It's no secret that samoa joe can cut a great promo. However, that promo was great. His promo was basically about how AJ is a great champion but he's doesn't care about his family keeping this feud personal in the process. The promo ends with samoa joe telling AJ Styles that he will return to his family but not as WWE champion instead it's going to be joe. Another great promo by samoa joe and in my opinion, i could name only a few wrestlers in the WWE who's in level of samoa joe in terms of mic skills. 

Randy Orton looking vicious 

... and wipes the face paint off of his enemy.
I thought this was great. The great thing about this is that he was taking away jeff hardy's identity by beating the crap out of him and again i thought this was great. With nakamura delivering a kinshasa to jeff before this, it looks like were gonna have a triple treat match for the united states championship (No shit, omar). 

Daniel Bryan calls out The Miz 

Miz promises Bryan that his WWE Career is over and that the WWE Universe has moved on.
This entire segment was great and the best thing about this segment is that the miz basically stated that daniel bryan calling him out makes him a hypocrite considering that bryan walked out after the miz cut his best promo on talking smack. And he mentioned bryan's WWE contract expiring on September which was the whip cream on top of my starbuck's frappuccino. 

WHAT'S OK 

Zelina Vega vs Lana

Decent match. The match ends with aiden english helping lana from outside distraction but that didn't stop from vega winning this match with the roll up. Meanwhile aiden english explained lana as to why he came out to help her and she doesn't want to listen to him. Out comes rusev and lana was upset that rusev wasn't by her side during the match with zelina vega. Like i said on my last week's review, sad emoji. 

Charlotte vs Carmella 

The fight is on!
Surprisingly, this was the second time that carmella had a decent match. Not a bad effort by carmella. Anyways, the match ends with Charlotte delivering a figure four leg lock to carmella to win this match making a triple treat match and at first i hated this win considering that carmella lost a match twice hence making her look weak going into summerslam. However, i thought of becky lynch's facial expression after Charlotte won the match and immediately i didn't mind the win simply because they're teasing a heel turn from becky after Charlotte wins the title which i see that happening from a mile away. Maybe when a heel becky wins the championship, they could do a asuka vs becky match at wresltemania but will see.

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 ....
