WWE RAW Go Home Show 13/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

The go home show for RAW was surprisingly good that did it's job to make you or in this case make me excited for summerslam next week. Before i talk about this show, i what to give my thoughts to Nattie Neidhart aka Natalya and the entire hart family and friends who's been affected by the death of Jim The Anvil Neidhart. Now, i'm gonna give what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Let do this. 


WHAT'S GOOD

The opening segment and the alexa bliss vs ember moon match.

The promo from ronda starts by giving thoughts to her friend natalya on Jim The Anvil Neidhart passing which was classy and great. For some reason the camera guy was zooming on ronda's face way too much and i don't get it why. The promo ends by saying that she's gonna beat alexa to become the RAW women's champion. 

Outcomes alexa bliss with alicia fox by her side and basically saying that ronda's an "overhyped, overrated rookie" and she brought security guards to protect her from ronda which spoilers, that didn't go so well. The match with ember moon and alexa bliss was decent and the crowd were hot for most of this match. During the match, ember delivered a gutbuster to bliss which looked sick and devastating at the same time. Ember wins via DQ.  A great way to start RAW. 

Tag Team Title Match

Solid tag team title match. It was a bit short but sweet. One of the high points of this match was matt hardy delivering a superplex to scott dawson on the entire participants of this match. The B teams retains the championship by axel throwing dawson on the outside and pinning an unconscious bray wyatt. Now they just announced that the B team will defend the titles against the revival at the summerslam preshow which it should be a decent match. 

The intercontinental championship contract signing

I thought this entire segment was great and not only because of dean amborse returning which by the way, welcome back dean but it's because of the promo which was cut by dolph ziggler. I love the fact that the intercontinental championship is given in a higher pedestal. Kudos to creative on that one. 


WHAT'S OK

Baron corbin vs Tyler breeze and Braun and Finn vs Mahal and Owens

By the way, Baron cobin's theme song and entrance is great to watch. As far as the match itself, it was longer that it supposed to be. Baron wins with the great looking deep six. Now the tag match after this was surprisingly decent and one of the reasons why again, is because of the crowd. The team of braun strowman and finn balor wins with braun's running bodyslam to jinder mahal. 

Elias's biggest fan does a favour for Elias

For like a few seconds, i thought that the local competitor looked like fandango for a split second. Then Elias comes out and basically promoted his concert on summerslam weekend and told him that if you are fan then face bobby lashley. Bobby Lashley came out and cut a tolerateable (if that's a real word) promo and the match hasn't started yet? Meh segment but better than the duet a couple of weeks ago.

Paul heyman's swerve

Now, the segment was decent surprisingly because it's Monday Night RAW for God sake.
Some people and understandably so, thought that the twist or the swerve didn't make sense and i somewhat disagree with that.

Paul heyman has been loyal to brock for years with the exception of paul's heel turn in survivor series 2002. The thing is, if WWE puts a turn on brock then WWE are getting rid of brock's one if not his greatest asset.

However, the backstage segment of brock and paul heyman a couple of weeks ago makes this sudden turn of events meaningless but that's just me.


WHAT'S BAD

Meaningless matches

Speaking of the word meaningless, those matches are examples of filler and i don't like filler and that's my thoughts on that. Ruby wins with a school boy roll up and The team of Titus worldwide and bobby roode wins with roode hitting the glorious DDT to Mojo rawley.


Sound off in the comments on what do you think about RAW this week and follow me on twitter @omar_playa. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

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...

WWE NXT 24/4/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a meh episode of NXT. If this is the first time that somebody watches NXT with this episode then you'll have a hard time convincing that particular person to watch another episode you know what I mean?  The Forgotten Sons’ Jaxson Ryker vs Humberto Carrillo.  I don't watch 205 live but I'm loving every time Humberto wrestles. The match ended in a double count out because Ryker was beating the crap out of Carrillo until Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan showed up to save the young luchador. Not a fan of the Forgotten Sons but this feud for some reason made me wanna watch those two teams fight and I don't know why exactly.  After that, Adam Cole was asked backstage in a photo shoot about the Roderick Strong vs Johnny Gargano match until Matt Riddle showed up and said that it's his turn which led to Adam Cole leaving the shoot.  Aliyah and Vanessa Bourne vs Candice LeRae and Kacy Catanzaro.  This was okay. The team of Candice LeRae and Kacy Cat...
