WWE RAW 6/8/18 | My Coherent Review.



Man, it feels like the RAW creative team for the most part, doesn't care about what they put on television. The show was once again skippable at best. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. 



WHAT'S GOOD

Ronda Rousey's RAW debut

For someone that's gonna face alexa bliss for the RAW women's championship at summerslam, i thought this was an impressive showcase for ronda and it makes her look good going into summerslam. Yes this was a glorified squash match but i understood the context of this but i could see why someone might not like this just because they've been cautious for this match only to be nothing but a squash. 

Paul heyman interview

I am not a fan of this storyline mainly because creative's intend is to build sympathy toward roman reigns which in my opinion roman is more somebody that you either love or hate not to feel sorry for. However i thought this interview, the way he sold this was fantastic and if you told me that he was actually crying his eyes out then i would believe you. That how good paul heyman is. 

WHAT'S OK


Roman Reigns vs Baron Corbin

Now the opening segment was a typical RAW opening segment but quicker which i appreciate. Anyways, the match was fine. At one point baron corbin hit a deep six and roman sold it pretty well in my opinion. The match ends when finn balor distracted corbin only for him to eat a spear 1 2 3, roman wins. Apparently, the feud between balor and corbin is still happening *sigh*.  

Jinder Mahal vs Baron Strowman

The problem i had with this feud is that the way braun strowman treated kevin owens during the extreme rules build last month and the kevin owens show before this match kinda addressed that problem. Anyways, the matched ended on a DQ because braun hit jinder with his money in the bank briefcase. 

Seth rollins vs Drew mcintyre and Dolph ziggler

This match was supposed to be a regular tag team match between seth and a mystery tag partner vs drew and dolph and everybody was like "OMG, is amborse coming back?" and he didn't unsurprisingly. Seth instead chose roman after seth refused a tag offer from tyler brezze but roman wasn't part of that match due to a request from Stephanie McMahon. The match itself last a short period of time nothing special really. Dolph and drew wins with dolph hitting the superkick. 

The B team vs The Revival

Before i talk about this match. Let me addressed the B team's theme music. This theme, this theme. SUCKS! SUCKS! SUCKS! (Speaking of theme songs, I'm working on a top 5 best NXT takeover theme songs so follow the blog for updates) Anyways, the match ended after 45 seconds because outcomes bray wyatt and "WOKEN" Matt hardy taking the place of both bo dallas's partner and scott dawson's partner and then hit their respective finishers on them. This feud is dead to me just like their tag team division. 

Rezar vs Titus O'Nell

I'm surprised it took him this long to beat titus o'nell. Rezar wins with a spinebuster via a distraction from akam which i wonder why? 

WHAT'S BAD


Mojo losing this match

Let me get this straight. Why does mojo take a L in this match? You're trying to create/establish a new star and just squashed tyler brezze last week and now he loses a match to bobby roode who's been doing nothing since his move from Smackdown Live. Wouldn't make more sense if rawley wins this match gaining his momentum in the process? 

Bobby Lashley interrupts Elias AGAIN!

Image result for Elias
I don't what are they feuding over. Say what you want about the finn balor vs baron corbin feud but at least they have a reason as to why they're feuding. Again, i need a reason as to why they're feuding because i don't have one clearly.  


Riott Squad vs The hugger and Boss connection 

WWE Photo
First off, welcome back ruby riott. Second, why i'm seeing this match again? And the worst part about it is that 9 times out of 10 the rematch has a different winner. In other words, 50/50 lazy booking. With the return of ruby riott, this will probably end up being a 6 women tag between the riott squad and bayley, sasha and ember moon on RAW or possibly at summerslam.

WWE Clash Of Champions 2019 | My Coherent Review.

This Clash of Champions show was one enormous meh. Also, AJ Styles in the pre-show? That's a first but that match was pretty decent as well as the cruiserweight championship match.  Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The RAW Tag team Championship.  During this tag team title match, Ziggler hits a devastating looking DDT to Seth Rollins outside the ring. The odd couple then delivered quick tag team moves but moments later Rollins reversed Ziggler's sleeper hold into a falcon arrow to which Rollins tagged Braun Strowman and took out Ziggler and Roode for a bit.  This match has ended with a Glorious DDT from Robert Roode to Seth Rollins after Braun accidentally knocked out Rollins and Ziggler threw the monster among men over the top rope.  A decent opener with a predictable ending that I don't mind. Maybe a triple threat match between the odd couple, The Viking Raiders and The O.C in Gallows and Anderson for the tag ...

WWE NXT 2.0 14/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

NXT 2.0 or as I like to call it, NXT "I'M DIFFERENT" edition.  Let's get the positives out of the way. I like the set and the way it compliments NXT's new water multicolour look. In a world with main roster WWE and its giant screen, the presentation definitely stood out.  The entrance stage set also gave me a bit of a Wrestlemania 27 vibes and because of it, I'm always going to remind myself of that dogsh*t of a PPV so that's definitely a negative.  The main question is, Was the inaugural episode of NXT "third times the charm" edition any good?  Yes. The main thing NXT did right is how they showcase some of the newer faces on the brand.  There were a few head-scratching moments but as a whole, I enjoyed the episode.  Images via WWE.com Bron Breakker vs LA Knight.  We all know that Bron Breakker is an awful name (Bronson Rechsteiner was perfectly fine) but my God, that dude has the LOOK!   I mean, if I had to choose to rebrand myself in WWE, I...

WWE RAW 28/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

Not an enjoyable show like last week's show but it was okay for a typical RAW episode but for a PPV build up, it wasn't good at all.  The Women's Tag Team Champions Opens The Show And….. Paige started off this episode of Monday Night RAW and introduces the Kabuki Warriors which Paige hasn't been on their side for weeks and I'll explain that last comment.  Paige was putting over the warriors and Asuka grabbed her microphone immediately which led to Paige getting her mic back which led to Kairi Sane grabbing Paige's mic. Asuka splits that green mist to Paige to which Becky Lynch came out and brawls with Kairi Sane.  That betrayal from the Kabuki Warriors made a lot of sense considering that Paige didn't benefit them other than being their English spokesperson. Gotta give a big shout out to Paige for selling that green mist without taking a bump. That was great.  Becky Lynch vs Kairi Sane.  That was a very good opener. Kairi Sane reve...
