WWE Smackdown Live 27/11/18 | My Coherent Review.

24 hours later, Smackdown Live somehow manages to give me an entertaining show overall after that mediocre show that was last week’s. Why you ask? Well, I’m gonna tell you what’s good, what’s okay and what’s bad. Without further ado, on with the review. 

WHAT'S GOOD

Opening segment 

Flair claims she wasn’t trying to be Becky; she was just being Charlotte Flair, the only woman capable of giving Rousey the beating that she deserved.
Paige was on the ring to introduce the man Becky Lynch. Becky then grabbed the microphone and Becky said that she had to watch someone fight her battle at Survivor Series against Ronda Rousey. 

After that, Becky called out Charlotte Flair and Becky said that if it was her vs Ronda, she would’ve got the job done. Charlotte replied by saying that she wasn’t trying to be Becky, she was trying to be the queen Charlotte Flair WOOOOO! (I had to put that there I’m sorry). 

From there on was a bickering back and forth between Charlotte and Becky Lynch until Paige announced that at TLC, Charlotte will face Becky Lynch for the Smackdown Women’s Championship in a TLC match. 

Out came the entire women’s division and they demanded a championship opportunity. The general manager Paige set up a battle royal and whoever wins the battle royal will be added to the Smackdown women’s championship and will be turned into a triple threat match. I like this opening segment in my opinion.

A battle royal. Winner faces both Becky Lynch and Charlotte for the Smackdown women’s championship

The Empress and Deville battle on the ring apron...
I’m not gonna lie, the match itself was whatever but the reason why I put this on what’s good is because of the finish. 

Yes, people, Asuka won the battle royal and will be added to the Smackdown women’s championship match with TLC stipulation. Well, there’s one match I’m looking forward to at TLC. 


Jeff Hardy’s 20th-anniversary celebration

Jeff came out to the ring after that stellar video package played on the titantron and thanked his family but most importantly, he thanked his fans for letting him entertain the world. Out came Samoa Joe and he was splitting truth bombs on Jeff Hardy. 

Jeff then replied by saying that Joe can’t run on his parade and told him to fight him right here right now to which Joe because he’s a heel, he refused to do so. I like this segment and I hope that once they face each other, Joe can take the W he so desperately deserves. 

WHAT’S OK

The Usos vs The Bar

Decent match. The match ended with both Usos did a double roundhouse kick with a superkick courtesy of Jimmy Uso followed by a Uso splash by Jey Uso to Cesaro and just like that, they took the W. 
Does that mean that there are the number one contender for the Smackdown tag team championship? Will have to want and see. 


AJ Styles had some “words of wisdom” 

AJ says Bryan’s vicious post-match attack prevented him from being medically cleared for Survivor Series or SmackDown LIVE last week.
AJ was on the ring with massive AJ Styles chants. AJ Styles cut a promo on how he doesn’t mind losing the championship, just the way he lost it that bothered him. He got his bottom kick. So bad that he wasn’t medically cleared to compete for days straight. AJ also stated that he doesn’t care if it’s the old Daniel Bryan or the new Daniel Bryan, he's looking forward to beating the crap outta him at TLC. 

He would love to beat him right here, right now but he wasn’t on Minneapolis. AJ ended the promo by saying that he will take the championship because it belongs to him. Decent promo. Wasn’t bad or good but it did move the storyline from point A to point B and to that it was okay. 

Kofi Kingston vs The Miz 

WWE Photo
This was surprisingly decent in my opinion. The match ended with Miz grabbing the stew chair until Xavier woods took it with a no, no gesture and Kofi hit Miz with the trouble in paradise to win this match. 

Randy Orton explains why he took Rey's Mask

“I never understood what was so special about this piece of trash that I ripped off of Rey Mysterio’s face,” Randy Orton says. “I never bothered to learn the history because I didn’t care.”
Randy cut a promo basically saying that he didn’t intend on disrespecting his culture but tried to embarrass him instead. Then outta nowhere Rey Mysterio came out and they had a brawl but Randy grabbed Rey on the middle rope then hits the DDT. After that, he took the steel chair and hit him on Rey’s throat. It was okay I guess. 

WHAT’S BAD

Rusev Vs Shinsuke Nakamura 

WWE Photo
The Match hasn’t started because, during Rusev’s entrance, Shinsuke kicked him on his head and delivered a Kinshasa on the outside. 

The problem I have with this is that Shinsuke beat Rusev clean before so why did Shinsuke Nakamura made a statement like that instead of you know, actually trying to beat him clean again? I get it that WWE is trying to do build something with the US title but Rusev of all opponents like really though?

The 5 News Week: Florida Men In Government Talks About The Relationship Between WWE And The State.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 .major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. Tony Khan Wrote All Recent Episodes Of Dynamite All By Himself?  I've talked about Tony's other position as a writer for AEW on the February 16th edition of this very series and it's always interesting to read the stories involving the creative process of AEW television.  AEW's Dynamite show had recently aired its last set of filming and for the most part, they were fantastic and it's all thanks to one man, Vince Russo * stutters * I mean, Tony Khan.  From PWInsider and Mikey Johnson , The owner of AEW wrote all of the Dynamite scripts that were eventually taped in Georgia after he realized that the show was going to have a small crew because of the shut down across the country of US of A. The American nightmare himself, Cody has als...

WWE RAW 13/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

I didn't like this show. Thankfully, this episode didn't pull a Smackdown but because of how well last week's show went, I felt really underwhelmed watching that.   MVP Lounge. Special Guest, Dolph Ziggler.  Montel Von Porter welcomed his guest that shares a common hatred for Drew McIntyre and that guest is, of course, Dolph Ziggler.  Ziggler compliments the new United States championship design to which MVP let him know that he'll talk to his people and get a new WWE championship design once the show-off, wins the championship (and honestly, Ziggler's got a point, the WWE Title needs a new design).  Dolph further tells MVP that he's the reason why Drew defeated Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania for the WWE title.  Out came the Scotsmen himself and he basically said that he'll beat the crap out of him and Dolph got a bit of that with a punch. An enjoyable segment.  The thing I kind of appreciate about this feud is that Dolph...

WWE RAW 2/9/19 | My Coherent Review.

The second week in a row where RAW is a good show overall and here's why.  Seth Rollins vs Braun Strowman For The Universal Championship Contract Signing.  Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman came out to the ring at different times to make one of their championships matches official and they brought up reasons as to why they're going to win the championship of the universe you know like most contract signings.  Out came The O.C and AJ Styles became a typical wrestling fan for a moment by cutting a promo about how Rollins and Strowman didn't deserve their title opportunities. The O.C ignored Micheal Cole's saying of Rollins and Strowman having a contract signing and they had a brawl which led to a tag team match.  For an opening segment, this was weeeeeeeeeeak. I mean NXT's openings is not revolutionary but at least it's decent. That didn't do its job to build off this match not gonna lie.  The O.C vs Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman.  Afte...
