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

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?

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...
