WWE Smackdown Live 13/11/18 | My Coherent Review

Smackdown Live was while not a great show, it was a much better go home show than Monday Night RAW. Why you ask? Well, I’m gonna tell you what’s good, what’s ok and what’s bad. Now, on with the review.

WHAT’S GOOD

The Opening Segment

The show started off with AJ telling that he’s going to beat Brock Lesnar this Sunday until Paul Heyman outta nowhere showed up and grabbed a microphone.

Paul then went out of this way to praise AJ’s work as a wrestler and a champion. Styles then stated that while he lost the match itself last year, he, unlike Brock, wasn’t limping.

Daniel Bryan showed up and warned AJ not to mentioned his name which was rather odd. AJ then mentioned his name and then a brawl happened.

After that, they announced the main event for this show for the WWE championship which if you read my what’s bad section, you already know my thoughts on it. Overall a good segment.

WHAT’S OK

The Miz vs Rey Mysterio

Okay, match. Rey won with a crucifix pin and then Randy Orton tried to hit the RKO to Rey Mysterio but Rey reversed it and Randy instead delivered the RKO to The Miz which I thought it was funny.

Paige calls out the entire Smackdown Live Women’s division

Like the title stated above, Paige calls out the entire women’s division including the champ herself Becky Lynch and she picked Charlotte as her replacement to face Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series in Los Angeles. This might be a dumb question for most of you but did the hug from Becky to Charlotte indicated that Becky is now a full fledge babyface?

Look, it is possible that a rematch between Ronda and Charlotte will happen at Wrestlemania but considering that WWE promoted the Becky Lynch vs Ronda Rousey match like crazy (in a good way of course), it’s highly unlikely that WWE will go that route but will see how that match itself turns out.

The New Day vs The Bar and The Big Show

Another Okay match. The team of The Bar and The Big Show won with Big Show delivered the KO punch to Kofi Kingston.

WHAT’S BAD

Andrade “Cien” Almas vs Jeff Hardy

I don’t mind the match itself because it was decent but I do have a problem with Andrade losing matches, hence losing his momentum.

It’s one thing to lose few matches but it’s another thing to not only being featured less on the show but also lose several matches in a row and I get that it’s impossible to feature everybody in major roles but come on.

Andrade “Cien” Almas is a great talent and I hope that it’s temporary but given how the Smackdown creative team treats its mid-card champion, it’s unclearly that it is.

AJ Styles vs Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship

I thought this was a much better match than their encounter two weeks ago until the ending. Styles was aiming for a phenomenal forearm but Daniel Dodged it and hit the referee instead. Bryan then low-blowed Styles without the ref's knowledge followed by the running knee and just like that, Daniel Bryan is the new WWE champion. After the match, Daniel Bryan started to hit a beat up AJ Styles with a smile on his face.

I respect WWE going for an unpredictable route but I absolutely don't like the heel turn because WWE in terms of top singles wrestlers, has more heels on their roster than babyfaces and you need an equal level of heels and babyfaces so him turning heel doesn't make sense in my opinion.

I will say this, the two positive things coming out of this is one, the match that I've wanted to see for years now is happening this Sunday and two, the ending gives me a reason as to why I should watch Smackdown Live next week. I'm afraid that the heel turn will damage Daniel star power if that makes sense but I will give this a chance and hopefully I could enjoy this side of Daniel Bryan.

WWE Smackdown 21/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another time Pat McAfee shows me why he's better than Corey Graves. Both in the ring AND on the commentary table. As far as how I feel about this week's episode, it ain't good, people. It ain't good. An Image via WWE.com Sethy Mane Wanted A Tag Partner So….………. That he faces The Usos later in the show and if drippy Jesus wins, 2 out of 3 members of the Bloodline are barred off ringside in the blue title encounter (in case you were wondering, Kevin Owens was Seth's tag partner). BUTTTTTTTTTTTT! The tribal chief had other ideas. He proposed a pitch where if the "burn it down" man loses the tag match, the Rumble match is gone, FINITO! Bully Ray probably saw Seth Rollins' uttering Jox Moxley's name and reacted, "HOW DARE YOU!! BLASPHEMY!" Fortunately for SR The Drip Mane, he got what he wanted via a DQ finish thanks to a superman punch from Roman Reigns. While the ending did protect the tag champs, the consequences of i...

WWE Smackdown 17/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This recent instalment of Smackdown was decent. The women, for the most part, was the standout in this program and it honestly carried the show from a meh to a decent watch. The show started off with Jeff Hardy and Sheamus talking about the upcoming bar fight which you can scroll down to read my thoughts on it. Sasha Banks and Bayley Gives Us A New Perspective Of The Word "Greatness". The so-called "golden role models" were praising their greatness to which Nikki Cross was furious about the way she lost at Extreme Rules. So, Nikki wanted a rematch for the SmackDown women's championship and Bayley accepted that bout if Nikki faces her best friend, Alexa Bliss to determine the number one contender. That match started immediately after this segment and it was a good opener. Bayley and Sasha Banks were entertaining in the commentary as per usual. When Corey Graves brought the fact that Bayley didn't want t...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess? Smackdown. The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k. The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself. As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title. Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship. Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...
