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.

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 .... Prayers for @WWERomanReigns 😞🙏🏻 https://t.co/9sqk0KfFnP — Lexi Kaufman (@AlexaBliss_WWE) October 23, 2018 He’s our locker room leader. He IS the business. He’ll be back. You go...
