WWE Smackdown Live 18/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a good show that did its job to build some hype for WWE super showdown. Now usually on my reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad. However, I'm only gonna tell you what's good and what's ok for this review because I didn't find anything bad about this episode. Now, here we go.

WHAT'S GOOD

AJ Styles vs Andrade Cien Almas

Man, what a good match. One of my favourites moments from that match was when Andrade hit the stomp to AJ on the ring apron. The match ends with Almas going for the hammerlock DDT and AJ reversed it into a jackknife hold pin and turned it into a styles clash to win this match.

After the match, Samoa Joe outta nowhere attacked AJ and Samoa Joe tried to hit AJ on the steel steps but AJ reversed that and instead hit joe on the steel steps. Joe then put his thumb on AJ's eyes and ran away to the crowd. I don't mind almas losing because he looked good in defeat and I hope we get to see some championship gold from almas.

WHAT'S OK

Miz tv

Maryse feigned the injury, and Miz tries to get the jump on Bryan!

So far, 9 matches have been announced for WWE super showdown in Melbourne, Australia and we have a 10th. The Miz will indeed face Daniel Bryan and that match will determine the number one contender for WWE championship.

Miz then introduces his wife Maryse as his guest on Miz tv because why not? They go on and on about their victory at hell in a cell two days ago and the crowd were booing Maryse like as if Roman was there. Miz then calls out Daniel Bryan and then Daniel showed up and wasted no time to brawl with Miz.

During the brawl, Bryan hit a dropkick to Miz on Maryse's lower abdomen and she sold that like a champ shout out to her. That "pain" was a setup so that the miz could deliver a skull crushing finale to Daniel from behind and Daniel reversed it and threw him on the outside. Not a bad segment. Not bad at all.

Cesaro vs Kofi Kingston

The interaction between both teams promo wise was a bit cringeworthy in some aspects but the match after that was decent. The flip dive that Kofi did was great but unfortunately, that didn't help him win this match because Cesaro wins with a brutal looking neutralizer.

US championship match

Nakamura rakes the eyes to avoid a perilous predicament.

Before this, Aiden English was talking shit about Rusev behind his back until Lana heard it and wanted to tell Rusev but he wants to focus on his match with Nakamura for the United States championship.

Nakamura retains the championship with a roll-up via a distraction from Aiden. After Shinsuke's win, English hit rusev repeatedly with the custom rusev day microphone and sang the word "Happy Rusev day". I don't know how to feel about this but will see how this storyline develops.

Asuka vs Billie Kay

This is the first time Asuka looked somewhat dominant since she was on RAW. She wins with the Asuka lock.

Becky lynch's championship celebration

She says sheâ€™s here to show Becky the respect she didnâ€™t give Charlotte at SummerSlam.

This final segment of the night was okay in my opinion but Becky lynch's sarcasm was on point. WWE had a chance to do something different like a double turn with both women like Becky is the face and Charlotte is the heel but they blew it, however, I'm liking sarcastic Becky but it is going to get stale like Sami Zayn's heel run? We shall see.

What do think about Smackdown Live last night? Let me know in the comments below and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling. What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill. This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come. Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai. A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match. Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match. Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

WWE RAW 29/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

There were decisions being made on this show that I would've done it differently if I was on their spot but as a whole, this show was decent and unlike last week's episode, it actually made some progress going into Summerslam. Drake Maverick and Renee Michelle vs R Truth and Carmella. 24/7 championship. Lumberjack Match. First off, that intro about the 24/7 title was great. Shout out to the production guys for that. Also, mosh pit? Isn't this a lumberjack match? Anyways, the match ends quickly with a reverse suplex from Truth and then, The rest of the roster (yes, all of them) pinned R Truth to which Mike Kanellis of all people won the match. He then went inside the WWE officials' room and Maria Kanellis knocked on that door. Maria Kanellis said that if he doesn't open that door then she'll kick him in his "vagina". That line was random yet funny. As far as the 24/7 championship shenanigans are concerned, it was not offensive but it...

WWE RAW 21/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

I like this episode of Monday Night RAW. Probably one of the best episodes of RAW all year and I will also say that 2019 has been a great year for Monday Night RAW. I can only count one hand on how many episodes of RAW I actually hated. Ric Flair Reveals The Final Member of His Team. The nature boy started off this episode and I thought I've time jumped to 03 but I realized that he's the coach of his team at Crown Jewel and I said to myself "ohhhhhh". Ric Flair reveals the final member and that person is none other than the returning Drew McIntyre. Drew tells his captain that he's going to give him a preview of what he's going to do at Crown Jewel. That preview is a match between the Scottish psychopath and Ricochet. This was a nothing segment other than Drew coming back after several weeks. Drew McIntyre vs Ricochet. Ric Flair cut a passionate promo basically calling Hogan to show up on Smackdown this Friday. This was a very go...
