WWE RAW 23/7/18 | My Coherent Review.


RAW was once again, a skippable show that did nothing to gain excitement for summerslam. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. Scratch that, I'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Without further a do, on with the review. 



WHAT'S OK

My Opinions on WWE Evolution PPV Announcement 

Triple H asks the women to step forward...
I'm i excited? No. However, do i completely hate the idea of a all women's PPV? Not at all. What do i mean by this? Well i said on twitter (*cough* follow me on twitter @omar_playa) basically is that this show could be a success or a failure.  Now the women's royal rumble match and the women's elimination chamber earlier this year have been very good so the in ring aspect of that show will do wonders. However, the evolution show will unfortunately be a glorified house show and again i don't mind it but i would like to see a certain storyline progress or add into the evolution show to give me a reason as to why i'm watching this show. 


The tag team title rematch

Match was fine. Exactly similar as extreme rules last week in terms of quality. The match ends with cutris pinning matt hardy with a crucifix pin to retain the tag titles. After the match, matt claps his hands to both cutris axel and bo dallas only to get beat up by matt and bray wyatt. I don't care and i hope this feud could get it over with. 

Bayley and Sasha are on the same page

This storyline is a roller coaster of emotions in the worst possible ways. One week i was intrigued with the beat down from bayley to sasha, the next week they were in counseling with doctor shellby and i hated it because they turned it into a comedy act. I'm glad they're friends again so that they can rebuild this storyline and hopefully creative does it the right way. 

Mickie james vs Natalya

Okay match. The match surprisingly ended with a win by mickie james and i like her armour looking attire. 

Bobby lashley vs Roman Reigns

Another decent match. Lashley hitting the spear got me to be honest. The match ends with roman hitting a spear of his own to win the number one contendership to face brock lesnar art summerslam and also repeat the same storyline that they gave us during wrestlemania season *sigh*. 

Seth rollins and Finn balor vs Drew Mcintyre and Dolph Ziggler

Decent match. Drew hitting the reverse Alabama slam to finn looked brutal. The match ends with the stomp delivered by seth to dolph to win the tag match. The match before this was a one on one match between drew and finn. The match ended in a DQ because dolph hit a lowblow to finn balor and then seth came to the rescue only for kurt to set up a tag match and i hate this formula. Now the reason why it isn't on what's bad is because both matches were decent but that doesn't mean i should let that aspect go. 


WHAT'S BAD


This segment

Now, i was enjoying this segment based on kevin owens's promo and hid reasoning as to why he's befriending with braun strowman but it went downhill from there. Out comes baron corbin assuming that he's announcing something that has to do with this feud and then jinder comes out and teaches braun his inner peace only to get his crap beat out strowman. This made jinder look stupid considering that he has to know what braun is capable of. Now a rematch between braun and owens is announced but if owens beats braun then he hold the money in the bank briefcase and it makes sense considering that he technically beat braun at extreme rules lat week.  Is it a ladder match or a one on one match? Will find out in the coming weeks. 

Titus worldwide confronts with the authors of pain

Why is this match happening? I get it creative are giving something for them to do however this is lazy writing at it's best. The match is probably gonna end up on the pre show. 


Mojo rawley vs Tyler breeze

If creative is building up mojo rawley as a serious competitor then why is he facing the same opponents over, over, again. He faced no way jose in what it feels like forever and now he faces breeze for the second time in a row. Do you see braun strowman in mid to late 2016 squash the same opponents over and over again? No. So why can mojo squash jobbers like a braun strowman in 2016. Again, i just don't get it even though i like this mojo rawley recenty. 

Ember moon vs liv morgan

Just like my opinion on mojo vs tyler breeze, why i'm i seeing this match again? Absolute LAZINESS by wwe creative. 

 Elias's concert gets interrupted so many times

Elias suddenly decides that he's too repulsed by those in attendance, and he makes his exit.
I get it they're promoting his album but the interruption feels completely unnecessary and doesn't add anything to the overall show. Either have him sing or don't do the whole thing. 



Sound off the comments below on what do you think about RAW this week and stay safe smarks.

WWE Smackdown Live 3/9/19 | My Coherent Review.

A pretty decent Smackdown Live episode considering that Smackdown Live has been RAW 2018: blue edition in recent weeks so I'm surprised that the episode was not terrible.  Bayley And Sasha Are Tired Of Being Humble. Well, Sasha Banks Is But Not Bayley Yet.  Bayley came out smiling as if nothing happened with some mixed reactions from the crowd. Bayley apparently doesn't get it because she's been humble with her best friend and she basically states that she's not the bad guy and never will be the bad guy (will see about that).  After Bayley talks about how Charlotte is selfish, out came the queen and she says that Charlotte is the queen of selfishness with no hugging but Sasha Banks came out before the queen was going to say about what she's going to do at Clash Of Champions.  Charlotte kicks the Smackdown women's champion and Sasha brawled with Charlotte which led to Bayley hitting Flair with a series of chair shots before Banks got her turn. ...

WWE RAW 16/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another L for the red brand in terms of overall quality. And they do not need that L considering that it's the final show before this year's SummerSlam event.  Images via WWE.com   Randal Keith Orton And Riddal Are Back Together?  Randy explained his actions last week, stating that he simply doesn't owe anyone an explanation because he's Randy Orton (okay?).  Out came the most obnoxious person in Riddle and he wanted RKBRO to reunite. Styles showed up to hype up his big goof in Omos.  That RKO last week was as confusing as the thought of Jupiter Ascending being a "good movie".    The question is, did the band realigned themselves once again?  The answer was a soft no if you stopped watching the show after the Riddle and AJ Styles match (I don't blame ANYONE that stops watching Monday Night RAW).  However, that became a solid yes after Randy's bout with Omos. Am I the only one that feels kinda mid about this?  It's not terri...

The 5 News Week: Everything YOU Need To Know About Adam Cole’s Status In WWE.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  Some images via wwe.com Everything YOU Need To Know About Adam Cole’s Status In WWE.  By the time this article hits the interwebs, this piece of news will be outdated as f**k because SO many reports have been released left, right and centre regarding Adam Cole's status in world wrestling entertainment (yea, no sh*t, a**hole).  So, Let's summarize this bad boy. Adam Cole's contract expired after the 2021 edition of NXT's Great American Bash show this past July and agreed to extend his contract till Summerslam (from Wrestling Inc ).  Dave Meltzer of "I should think before I say something", has heard that Cole was offered a contract from "the best brand for white guys with wrestling podcasts", AEW while...
