WWE RAW 19/11/18 | My Coherent Review.

As usual, RAW was terrible. Why you ask? Well, I’m gonna tell you what’s good, what’s ok and what’s bad. However, this time it’s only what’s bad and what's okay because you know why. Here we go. 

WHAT'S BAD

The opening segment

RAW starting off with a bland, boring, formulaic (in a bad way) and generic opening segment and the unfortunate thing is that this formula ain’t ending anytime soon. Now, they announced officially a match between Braun Strowman and Baron Corbin in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match but with one condition given to both participants of that match. 

If Baron Corbin wins then he’s permanently the RAW general manager. If Braun Strowman wins then he’s facing Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble. Corbin then made a six-man tag match and Stephanie McMahon made it the opening match of this show and speaking of which……  

WHAT’S OK

Braun Strowman, Finn Balor and Elias vs Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre

A six-man elimination tag match and it was decent. Drew eliminated Finn Balor with the Claymore kick. Bobby Lashley speared Elias on the outside which eliminated Elias via a count out. The entire match ended in a DQ by Drew McIntyre with a chair and then a 3 on 1 beatdown happened between Drew, Lashley, Corbin and Strowman. 

This is probably the weakest I've seen Braun Strowman look. Don't know yet if that’s a good thing or a bad thing given that Drew looked like a legit badass in this and that could help him in the long run but will see. 

Sasha Banks and Bayley vs Nia Jax and Tamina

An okay match in my opinion. Nia Jax got heat but it wasn’t as loud as last night’s. Since Nia Jax now known as the face breaker, is she going to use a knockout punch as her finish? The answer is, god I hope not. The team of Nia Jax and Tamina won the match with Nia Jax delivered a Samoan drop to Bayley. 

Seth Rollins looks for Dean Ambrose

Wow, Dean Ambrose channelling his inner Samoa Joe with his manipulations. The Roman Reigns line was not only disgusting but it was extremely lazy like the writers can’t come up with ways to get heat from Dean? 

For that, I had to put it on what’s ok even though this is the best thing going on right now on RAW. By the way, 2018 is the year of low blows don’t cha agree? 

Ronda Rousey promo and match

Basically, this segment goes like this. Ronda was furious on the DQ finish from Charlotte and demanded to defend her championship against anyone hence, an open challenge. Baron Corbin showed up and denied her request. 

Then Ronda said that she hasn’t postponed a fight and she can take on anybody. Baron Corbin changed his mind and accepted her request. That led to a match between Mickie James and Ronda which was rather quick. Ronda retained her title with the armbar. After the match, Nia Jax warned Rousey with a fist pose. 

Bobby Roode and Chad Gable vs AOP

The team of Bobby Roode and Chad Gable won the match with a roll up from Chad Gable. Whatever. 

Lucha House Party vs The Revival

Lucha House Party won. I don’t like throwing that word around but let’s just say that the revival are buried.


Natalya vs Ruby Riott

A skippable match in my opinion. Natalya did a sharpshooter to Ruby but Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan helped Ruby from tapping out. Then, Ruby did a school boy roll up but Natalya countered that into a modified small package and That's how Natalya won the match.

WWE Smackdown 17/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening.  Images via WWE.com   The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Shanky.  After a backstage segment that included The Usos roasting Xavier Woods' kingship, the blue brand really started the show with a match (not this one) which is a rare thing to see on main roster television. And the match wasn't bad at all.  The Viking Raider defeated the team of Jinder and Shanky with a splash from Ivor. Does everyone want a Happy Corbin segment? Well, no and Drew McIntyre agrees as he took out Corbin and Madcap Moss to retrieve his sword which sounds like a bad King Arthur comedy flick or something.  Naomi Wants A Match With Sonya Deville.  Naomi is upset at how Sonya Deville acted like a Susan over the past few months so the glow queen challenged the actual manager to a match at Day 1 and Sonya was like, "Ahhhh, no".  Naomi then had a match with Shayna Baszler and within minute...

WWE Survivor Series 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans reading this and welcome to my coherent review for Survivor Series 2018. Overall, it was a very entertaining show throughout with some minor issues and here's why.  (KICK OFF SHOW) Tag team Survivor Series match  This match was a great example of a skippable match until the last moments.  Xavier Woods did the springboard elbow drop and both members of The Revival countered that into a shatter machine which look amazing.  Minutes later, Scott Dawson hit a superplex to Jimmy Uso and an immediate frog splash from Dash Wilder to a near fall.  After that, Both Usos hit a superkick to Dash followed by a Uso splash and just like that, the Smackdown team took the W which WWE wants to forget about that (so stupid). A decent match but with a boring start in my opinion.  (MAIN SHOW) Women’s Survivor Series match  Before the match started when Nia Jax’s music hit, she got volcanic heat from the Los Ang...

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...
