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 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...
