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.

AEW Dynamite Blood And Guts | A Coherent Review.

Another watchable episode of AEW Dynamite but this time, it features the first-ever Blood And Guts encounter. Kenny Omega And Michael Nakazawa vs Jon Moxley And Eddie Kingston.  Don Callis announced that Michael Nakazawa is going to face Mox and Kingston all by himself only for Kenny Omega to show up and compete in the match anyway.  A weird booking choice but I'm just nitpicking.  What wasn't weird was how the match ended with a double team dragon suplex into a clothesline from the duo of Mox and Kingston to Nakazawa.  Then, a beatdown ensued from Omega's Posse to Jonny Mox and Eddie Kingston. The Young Bucks vs Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston? I'm down.  It was revealed later in the night that a number one contenders match for the AEW championship is set up for next week's show between Orange Cassidy and Pac. I'm assuming AEW is saving the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega encounter for All Out?  Either way, AEW has the potential to tell an interesting story of ...

WWE RAW 5/10/20 | A Coherent Review.

I have not said this in a RAW review in a very long time but the show as a whole was straight up dogsh*t awful.  It's so bad that I didn't like one ounce about this program.  pictures via wwe.com Randy Orton Remembers His Match At Clash Of Champions.  The show started off with Randy Orton recalling certain aspects about the WWE championship match at Clash Of Champions.  Orton goes on to say that Drew doesn't deserve the championship because the legends interfered in the ambulance match.  The promo ended with Orton bringing up the fact that he beat up four legends last week on RAW (again, explain the physics behind this?).  Drew showed up and he laid waste on the guy.  Randy has been quite exceptional in the dialogue department but this ain't it.  The promo actually put me to sleep and the show didn't even hit 10 minutes up until that point.  If they suddenly end the rivalry like nothing happened, while it doesn't make sense, I'm all for it be...

WWE NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff | My Coherent Review.

via WWE I don't watch or review the first NXT UK Takeover for some odd reason but I'm so glad I did because that was like the main NXT Takeovers, was absolutely great to watch. I'm just speechless and if you have watched the show then you'll know why (also, if you somehow didn't watch this show, what are you doing? Go and treat yourself with some wrestling goodness.) Noam Dar vs Travis Banks.  A very enjoyable opening match. Noam Dar proves that he's great at what he does with so many submission holes because if you don't know, I'm a technical wrestling connoisseur. Noam Dar won the match with a standing shining wizard.  Cesaro vs Ilja Dragunov. Always great to see Cesaro do what he does best and that's a fight inside the square circle. So, Ilja called out Cesaro because Cesaro's looking for an open challenge and Cesaro obviously picked his challenger.  The Swiss Cyborg started off this match by throwing Dragunov to the outside ...
