WWE Evolution | My Coherent Review.

Evolution had a piss poor build up going in and those types of build-ups will usually end up with a solid show but was this an exception? I would somewhat say yes considering that I liked certain things about this show as well as the things that I didn't like and here's why. 

Trish Stratus and Lita vs Alicia Fox and Mickie James

A decent opener in my opinion. There was a point in the match where Trish hit a beautiful sit out spinebuster to a near fall. The match ended with Trish delivered the stratusfaction to Mickie James but Alicia broke the count. Immediately after that, Lita hit the Twist fate followed by a moonsault on both Mickie James and Alicia Fox and the team of Trish and Lita won the match.   

20 Women Battle Royal number one contender match for a title opportunity.

That was a pretty good battle royal in my opinion but the finish was rather odd. I don't hate that Nia won the match because Ronda Rousey had a good match with Nia 4 months ago so I don't mind a rematch. However, I would much prefer Ember Moon facing Rousey just because it feels fresh and different at the same time but it is what it is. 

Toni Storm vs Io Shirai Mae Young classic tournament finals match

Good match and by the way, what a tournament this was. During the match, Shirai delivered an amazing moonsault to Toni Storm on the outside but that, unfortunately, wasn't enough because Toni Storm won that match with the Strom Zero. Congratulations to Toni Storm for winning the second annual mae young classic tournament. 

Sasha Banks, Bayley and Natalya vs The Riott Squad

This match was longer than it needed to be in my opinion. Anyways, The team of Sasha banks, Bayley and Natalya won that match with Sasha Delivered a frog splash to Liv Morgan. 


Kari Sane vs Shayna Baszler for the NXT women's championship

Brutal but a solid match. The way Shayna stomps on Kari's arm is and will always look cringe-worthy. The match ended with Marina Shafir delivered a kick on Kari's face followed by Baszler's clutch submission and just like that she's the first ever two-time NXT women's champion. 

Charlotte Flair vs Becky Lynch for the SmackDown women's championship

No WWE, there was a last women's standing match before and that was between Asuka and Nikki cross for the NXT women's championship and that happened a year ago. 

This reminds me when WWE promoted the Charlotte Flair vs Sasha Banks match at RoadBlock; End Of The Line and they proclaimed it as "the first ever iron women's match" which it wasn't and by the way, they added fake boos in the promo package which was ridiculous. 

But nevertheless, this was a great match. Becky Lynch retains the championship with Becky hitting a powerbomb through the table to a count of 10. Outstanding performance by those two. I'm really curious as to where the Smackdown Women's championship scene goes from here. 

Ronda Rousey vs Nikki Bella for the RAW women's championship

This match was one big MEH. Ronda retains the championship with the armbar submission on Nikki Bella. That wasn't a good way to end the show, to be honest. 

Well, that's all folks I hope you enjoyed my coherent review and if you did then follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions and comment below on what do you think about Evolution last night? Anyways, stay safe smarks.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Three Big Returns, A Great Inaugural Women's Championship Match.

If you have been a fan of this site since January, then you'll know that I've completely rebooted my review process and now, I'm doing that again.  Don't worry, the format for my RAW, Smackdown and PPV reviews will still be the same but not on Wednesdays. So, here it is, My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays.  NXT The Highlights. Adam Cole vs Matt Riddle For The NXT Championship.  A match that opened this episode of the yellow brand, the original bro and the leader of The Undisputed Era tore the house down.  Whether it's Cole reversing the fireman's carry from Riddle into a backstabber, Cole hitting a Panama sunrise twice, a floating bro or the crowd chanting "Adam Cole, bro", it was a visual statement by NXT that the yellow brand is THE brand to watch.  Unfortunately,  Riddle felt short and ate the last shot but there was another highlight I wanna talk about….. Finn Balor Returns To N. X. T.  It's not a typo my friends, Finn ...

How Naomi's Royal Rumble 2020 Return SHOOK Black Twitter.

If you haven't been watching WWE for 10+ years, well first off, why are you here and secondly, can I be like you because I'm jealous?  Let me recap who Naomi is. She is a wrestler, actor, dancer, singer and a former women's champion who's been with WWE for 10 years.  In other words, Naomi is a future EGOT winner and you cannot tell me otherwise.  Thanks to her persona that resonated with the audience whether as a heel or a babyface, she has built up a following that is "ride or die" for the former funkadactyl aka stans which I am a part of.  Why? Because if there's one thing I have in common with Stan Twitter is that we love to call white people "ageing at the speed of crack".  She may be throwing glow sticks like an early 2010s Ellie Goulding music video, but she's a capable talent that can hang with the best of the best.  But, you read the title. This ain't about a career retrospect about Naomi (although I don't mind doing so), but ...
