WWE RAW 10/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

RAW was once again bad, boring and frustrating to watch and also nothing really happened on this show. Why you ask? Well, here are my reasons as to why. Here we go. 

WHAT'S GOOD

Triple H's promo

 This was short but an affect promo. This build for the Undertaker and Triple H at the super showdown in Australia so far has been better than ANYTHING on RAW right now in my opinion. 


WHAT'S OK

Nikki Bella vs Ruby riott 


There was a point in this match where Nikki Bella did a beautiful looking spinebuster. Match overall was ok. Nikki Bella wins here with the rack attack 2.0 finish. 

Kevin Owens vs Tyler Breeze


The match hasn't started yet but the best part about this is that Owens is becoming more vicious. In other words, he's becoming more NXT Kevin Owens. He then cut a pretty good promo pretty much saying that he blames Bobby Lashley for his actions and injuring his best friend Sami Zayn. The promo ends with Owens proclaiming that RAW is the Kevin Owens show which I disagree because this is essentially the Roman Reigns show but whatever.

Alexa Bliss and Mickie James vs Ronda Rousey and Natalya


Eh match just like this feud but that face from Ronda though when Bliss slapped her in the face. Just by watching the highlights, Ronda wins with the armbar submission to Mickie James. 

WHAT'S BAD

The opening segment


This segment is not only similar to last week's segment but also the promo Braun cut where he said that he's not a coward like roman reigns who needs his shield brothers to take strowman down and does things himself yet he has a faction of his own in Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre? It just doesn't make ANY SENSE whatsoever. This main event storyline right now on RAW is just terrible to watch as a fan. 


Another AOP squash match 


I mean what do you expect In this really? The authors of pain won with the final chapter and by the way, they're now called by their abbreviation. Huh?  

Raw tag titles match between Dolph and Drew vs The B Team 


I don't mind a rematch if the first match was good. The problem is, that match other than the win was meh. So why do I need to watch a match that was meh? 

Dolph and Drew retain their championship by the claymore zig-zag finish to Bo Dallas and later that night Corbin announced that they're defending those belts against Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. To that I ask, why's Seth not defending his Intercontinental title? 

Bobby Roode and Chad Gable vs The Ascension


This match was longer than it needed to be honestly speaking. Roode and gable wins with the modified German suplex which was the same finish as last week's match.

It sounds like I'm complaining for the sake of complaining, however, the show was awful. So awful that I slept the minute after the women's tag team match and woke up almost an hour later to write this review but that didn't stop WWE from announcing that Mick Foley will be the special guest referee for the universal championship match at Hell in a cell. So excited *sigh*. 

What do you think about this week's episode of RAW? Let me know in the comments below and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling.  opinions. Anyways 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 ....
