WWE RAW 1/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Yesterday was October 1st and guess what? RAW aired that day and it was HELLA BORING. 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 ok and what's bad for this review because like I said earlier, this show was boring. 

WHAT'S OK

Dean Ambrose vs Braun Strowman

This match was pretty much Braun Strowman manhandling Dean Ambrose with a couple of offence by Ambrose of course. By the end of the match, Braun hit two bodyslams to Ambrose until Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins comes out and threw him outta the ring. In other words, Braun wins via DQ. 

Baron Corbin immediately comes out and he made a match between Seth Rollins vs Drew McIntyre and Roman Reigns vs Dolph Ziggler. 


Roman Reigns vs Dolph Ziggler.

Decent match. At one point, Dolph Ziggler put his fingers on Roman's eyes and delivered a zig-zag to a near fall. Roman Reigns wins with the all-powerful, the all dominant, the all mighty spear. 

Ronda Rousey vs Ruby Riott

Looks like Liv Morgan is fine which I'm happy to see. Anyways, the match was okay. Ronda wins with the armbar submission. 

Bobby Roode vs Connor of the Ascension

Meh match. By the end of the match, Bobby was preparing for the glorious DDT until Victor pushed Chad gable which distracted Roode and then Connor Delivered the dominator finish to Bobby Roode and wins. 

This is the first time The Ascension looked dominant since their main roster debut 3 years ago. 


The B team vs The Revival

The B team wins this match in what was a forgettable tag team match until out of nowhere the authors of pain were beating the crap outta both Axel and Dallas. Not bad. Not bad at all. 


Seth Rollins vs Drew McIntyre

Not as good as their first in counter but nevertheless a decent match. Claymore kick got Drew the win via a distraction from Seth. After the match, Seth got beat up by Dolph and Drew until Roman Reigns comes out to save him. 

Then Braun comes out to beat both Reigns and Rollins until Dean Ambrose comes out to save them and he got his ass kicked by Braun Strowman. 


Bobby Lashley vs Kevin Owens

Before the match, both Owens and Elias got booed like as if Roman was there until Lio Rush shows up and pretty much introduces Bobby Lashley. The match itself was fine. Kevin Owens wins via a distraction from Bobby Lashley. By the end of the match, Lashley tried to beat Elias, however, Kevin Owens hit Lashley from behind and it was a 2 on 1 beat down.  

Bayley vs Alicia Fox

Bayley wins with the Bayley to belly finish. That's it. You haven't missed much. 


Shawn Michaels on RAW

You know you guys feel old when Shawn Michaels is now bold which doesn't really fits him but whatever. The segment was a decent way to end in what was a boring Monday night RAW. 

WHAT'S BAD

The Opening Segment

The show starts with Charly Caruso asking Dean Ambrose did you believe in what Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre said last week and have you thought about leaving the shield to which Dean Ambrose basically answered with a yes in the sense that he won the WWE championship all by himself. 

He also said that he's waiting for the right moment to turn his back on his "brothers" if that's what people are thinking about it. Caruso then played a footage of last week where Dean thought of turning his back on Reigns and Rollins but he didn't. 

Caruso asked him "What was going through your mind there?" Dean answered with pretty saying that he's should've gone to Smackdown but he stayed on RAW to be with his "brothers". 

He then told Caruso that she should judge him based on his actions last week. His promo ends with him saying that the shield is a brotherhood and that's it. 

Baron Corbin came out to the ring and gave Dean three options. One, face Seth Rollins for the intercontinental championship. Two, face Roman Reigns for the universal championship and three, face Braun Strowman in singles action. 

I enjoyed that segment and would've put it in what's good up in till Baron Corbin forced him the third option which doesn't make any sense as usual with RAW. He could've just gave him two options and if he disobeys him then he goes one on one with Strowman but that's just me.

A moment of Bliss

Why? Because not only the segment itself was boring but the math in this made no sense and shout out to Italo Santana on twitter for pointing that out.

WWE Extreme Rules 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Man, I'm impressed with WWE in terms of PPVs as of late because overall, this was a fantastic show in my opinion with great matches but the crowd was dead for most of the show so that sucks.  I finally watched the pre-show match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura before I went to bed because the show aired at 2 am where I live and it was okay.  By the way, how interesting is it when on last year’s Extreme Rules show, Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States championship and now this year’s show, he won the intercontinental title. Also, it's funny that the intercontinental championship was the main event on last's year show and on this year's Extreme Rules PPV, it's on the preshow.  Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns and The Undertaker.  Mike Rome did better in announcing "The Best In the world" this time than on RAW. Mike Rome's announcement a few weeks ago sounded like that one friend that thinks he/she knows how to ...

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...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
