WWE RAW 5/11/18 | My Coherent Review.

The first RAW of November 2018 and as usual, it sucked. Why you ask? Well, I’m gonna tell you what’s good, what’s ok and what’s bad. Here we go.

WHAT’S BAD

Sasha Banks, Bayley and Natalya vs The Riott Squad

Sasha and Bayley comfort Natalya as The Riott Squad make their exit.

Look, I just wanna get this out of the way. Not only the match itself felt very similar to last week's match but the ending made NO SENSE whatsoever. If you don’t know what I’m talking about pretty much by the end of the match, Natalya did the sharpshooter to Sarah Logan and then Ruby Riott grabbed Jim NeidHart’s glasses and broke it which made Natalya cry. I mean, who won this match? Was it the Riott Squad or the team of Sasha Banks, Bayley and Natalya? Sadly, just like the whole “Who threw the pie at Kevin Owens’ face?” We will never know.

Nia Jax vs Ember Moon and Finn Balor vs Bobby Lashley

Why do those matches exist again? I put those matches in one post because just like the 6 women tag match, the matches felt way too similar to the previous matches in the sense that they’re average at best and I get that this is a 3 hour show and you need to do something in that timeframe but it is frustrating as a viewer to see the same matches with a similar outcome over and over again. I like the new turn of character that Bobby Lashley is portraying but you’re not gonna make me care about him as a character if you have him face the same person for the past weeks.

WHAT’S OK

The opening segment

... and chases Corbin out of the squared circle and up the ramp!

This was an okay segment to start off RAW. Baron Corbin announced that he is team captain for RAW men's team even though he’s not going to compete in the actual match. He then picked three members of team RAW so far and they are Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman.

Baron Corbin chose Alexa Bliss to be captain for RAW women’s team and she announced a six women tag match between Sasha Banks, Bayley and Natalya which you already know my opinions on it.

She declared the match to start now and she was interrupted by the former GM of RAW Kurt Angle. Kurt said that he lead his RAW team to victory last year and he wants to be part of Team RAW and Baron refused.

Kurt then wanted to face Baron and if he wins then he’s team RAW captain to which Corbin accepted. Corbin wanted Bliss to finish what she said and she was interrupted again. This time it was Braun Strowman and he wasted no time to brawl with the acting GM. Again, it was okay.

Apollo Crews vs Jinder Mahal

I can’t believe Jinder Mahal was the same person who won the WWE title and now a year later he’s misused on TV but at least Apollo got a somewhat big won. He won with the standing moonsault.

Ronda Rousey promo

I thought the promo was okay. Short and to the point. After that, Nia Jax came out to the ring and pretty much stated that she’s waiting for Ronda after Survivor Series. Whatever.

Elias vs Dolph Ziggler

Decent match. During the match, Elias did the knee strike that Kenny Omega does called the V trigger which doesn’t look as brutal compared to Kenny Omega. Elias then pushed Ziggler to the middle rope and delivered the drift away which gave him the W in this match.

WHAT’S GOOD

Drew McIntyre vs Kurt Angle

Now, this was supposed to be Kurt vs Baron but the reason why that match didn’t happen is that Baron took the limo and left to stay away from Braun Strowman. Now, the main reason why I liked this match was the finish and it fits considering that Drew is a heel (No shit, Omar). Drew won with the ankle lock.

AOP vs Seth Rollins for the RAW Tag Team Championship

The match was pretty much AOP man handling Seth Rollins for most of the match but it was surprisingly entertaining. AOP won the match with a double team manoeuvre. In other words, they are the new RAW tag team champions. After that, Dean was lurking around the outside, came into the ring, said this “Do you wanna know why I did what I did?”, stared at Seth with Seth asking why and immediately hit the dirty deeds. This is the storyline that keeps me from watching this poorly booked show and I'm hoping that it gets better in the coming weeks.

AEW Dynamite Blood And Guts | A Coherent Review.

Another watchable episode of AEW Dynamite but this time, it features the first-ever Blood And Guts encounter. Kenny Omega And Michael Nakazawa vs Jon Moxley And Eddie Kingston. Don Callis announced that Michael Nakazawa is going to face Mox and Kingston all by himself only for Kenny Omega to show up and compete in the match anyway. A weird booking choice but I'm just nitpicking. What wasn't weird was how the match ended with a double team dragon suplex into a clothesline from the duo of Mox and Kingston to Nakazawa. Then, a beatdown ensued from Omega's Posse to Jonny Mox and Eddie Kingston. The Young Bucks vs Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston? I'm down. It was revealed later in the night that a number one contenders match for the AEW championship is set up for next week's show between Orange Cassidy and Pac. I'm assuming AEW is saving the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega encounter for All Out? Either way, AEW has the potential to tell an interesting story of ...

WWE RAW 5/10/20 | A Coherent Review.

I have not said this in a RAW review in a very long time but the show as a whole was straight up dogsh*t awful. It's so bad that I didn't like one ounce about this program. pictures via wwe.com Randy Orton Remembers His Match At Clash Of Champions. The show started off with Randy Orton recalling certain aspects about the WWE championship match at Clash Of Champions. Orton goes on to say that Drew doesn't deserve the championship because the legends interfered in the ambulance match. The promo ended with Orton bringing up the fact that he beat up four legends last week on RAW (again, explain the physics behind this?). Drew showed up and he laid waste on the guy. Randy has been quite exceptional in the dialogue department but this ain't it. The promo actually put me to sleep and the show didn't even hit 10 minutes up until that point. If they suddenly end the rivalry like nothing happened, while it doesn't make sense, I'm all for it be...

WWE NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff | My Coherent Review.

via WWE I don't watch or review the first NXT UK Takeover for some odd reason but I'm so glad I did because that was like the main NXT Takeovers, was absolutely great to watch. I'm just speechless and if you have watched the show then you'll know why (also, if you somehow didn't watch this show, what are you doing? Go and treat yourself with some wrestling goodness.) Noam Dar vs Travis Banks. A very enjoyable opening match. Noam Dar proves that he's great at what he does with so many submission holes because if you don't know, I'm a technical wrestling connoisseur. Noam Dar won the match with a standing shining wizard. Cesaro vs Ilja Dragunov. Always great to see Cesaro do what he does best and that's a fight inside the square circle. So, Ilja called out Cesaro because Cesaro's looking for an open challenge and Cesaro obviously picked his challenger. The Swiss Cyborg started off this match by throwing Dragunov to the outside ...
