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.

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking). However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?” In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t. There are fans out there on the interweb that b...
