WWE Smackdown Live 17/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a decent show that has it's problems but again a decent show nevertheless. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Let's discuss wrestling shall we?

WHAT'S GOOD


The Miz's "Funeral" segment

He promises Daniel Bryan̢۪s career is dead and his days of main-eventing WrestleMania are over.
Started odd but ended pretty great. He shitted all over daniel bryan which is typical but awesome miz and i liked the fact that the funeral symbolizes how the reunion of daniel bryan and kane was dead within few weeks. Hence the funeral itself which i thought it was clever in my opinion. Great stuff by the miz. 

AJ styles vs Andrade "Cien" Almas

This was a damn good match. I could watch these guys wrestle all day and i hope the rematch will have a stake or a sense of importance like challenging for the WWE championship or something in the future. If i could nitpick, i wish the match would've went a bit longer but again, i'm just nitpicking. AJ Styles wins with the calf crusher and to be honest i don't mind the win and the reason being is because andrade looked good in this match in my opinion and it was a great showcase on who andrade is capable of in the ring. 

Heel Randy is back

OH MY GOD. I've been waiting for this randy orton for god knows how long. Now the opening segment and the main event was decent but again i'm intrigued like really intrigued. Randy pulling jeff's ear looks so brutal like in the picture above but i'm excited for a vicious, prick randy orton. 


WHAT'S OK


Eric young vs Kofi Kingston

Decent match. Noting groundbreaking or anything like that. Eric wins here with a german suplex position into a neckbreaker which actually looked pretty impressive.


Samoa Joe vs Tye Dillinger

A complete squash match and to be honest, tye is better than this in my opinion but i could see why creative did this considering that he hasn't been on TV for weeks now. Joe wins with the kokina clutch.  



WHAT'S BAD


The women's championship situation. 

After forcing Mandy Rose to tap to the Dis-arm-her, Becky Lynch thanks the WWE Universe and talks about how great it feels to win.

The match was fine, her promo was fine but becky facing carmella next week gave me two problems with this. One, where's asuka in this? In my opinion she (asuka) deserves a rematch considering that she got screwed by outside shenanigans twice and two why's becky facing carmella in order to face carmella for the championship at summerslam? Her reasoning for the championship opportunity makes sense considering that just this past month, she beat 5 women in singles competition i believe and becky facing carmella next week feels completely unnecessary.

My Coherent Predictions On: Money In The Bank 2018

Money in the bank has THE WORST buildup of 2018 so far (at least on the RAW side). Is it going to be worst than RAW this past few weeks or possibly backlash?  Will find out this Sunday but anyways on with the predictions Sami Zayn vs Bobby Lashley What can I say about this feud? ● No meaning behind it. ● No meaning behind it. ● And why's Bobby Lashley promo last night sounds like bubbles from powerpuff  or something? Nevertheless, It's a shame that both lashley and zayn are given a shitstorm of a storyline considering that their better than this. WINNER : Bobby Lashley. Bludgeon Brothers vs Luke Gallows And Karl Anderson WOW! Another match I don't give two fucks about. However if they want to make the show intriguing and unpredictable then I'll put the belts on....   WINNER: Gallows and Anderson. Big Cass vs Daniel Bryan. WWE made the right call in my opinion on moving big Cass to smackdown because he...

WWE Survivor Series 2019 | My Coherent Review.

The Survivor Series shows as of a few years has gotten better in terms of overall positives and I thought that this year will be no exception. It pains me to say this but the 2019 edition of Survivor Series was just okay. A few highlights but overall, not an offensive 3 ½ hours of wrestling to watch, to say the least. Oh, and I haven't seen the pre-show matches so I can't talk about it.  Team RAW In Kabuki Warriors, Charlotte Flair, Natalya And Sarah Logan vs Team Smackdown In Nikki Cross, Dana Brooke, Sasha Banks, Lacey Evans And Sasha Banks vs Team NXT In Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Candice LeRae, Io Shirai And Toni Storm. Women's Survivor Series Match.  Io Shirai and Kairi Sane delivered some quick moves earlier in the match. Brooke delivered an impressive rolling Senton to Shirai. Given that LeRae and Io were hurt, they were both eliminated. Bianca Belair got rid of two women.  One, it was Nikki Cross with a roll-up and the other was Sarah Logan with a 450...

The 5 News Week: RAW Tag Team Championship Belt Reportedly Getting A Redesign Plus So Much More.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. RAW Tag Team Championship Belt Reportedly Getting A Redesign.  Both the RAW and the Smackdown Live Tag Team Championships belt design looks like in need of a desperate makeover for years now and according to a report from Heel By Nature , a belt insider by the name of Belt Fan Dan (cool name by the way) said that WWE has contracted Dave McMillan to design the men's tag team titles for RAW and Smackdown.  Dave McMillan is the same person that designed the "penny"  tag team title belts and debuted it in 2010. The report also stated that the "penny" design was actually the design for the women's tag team championship but later WWE scrapped it because they didn't like it. Thank God.
