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 Angeles crowd and it did continue during the match at certain moments which made me laugh Ted Dibasie style. 

This ain’t a Survivor Series match without quick eliminations. Naomi got eliminated via a superkick from Tamina and then outta nowhere, Carmella eliminated Tamina via a school boy roll up. 

By the end of the match, Asuka eliminated Sasha Banks via the Asuka lock. Immediately after that, Nia delivered two leg drops followed by a Samoan drop and won the match. 

Not surprised by the finish considering that she has a title match coming up but it was disappointing that Asuka got eliminated like that with no offense given to Nia Jax. Overall an okay opener in my opinion. 

Seth Rollins (Intercontinental Champion) vs Shinsuke Nakamura (United States Champion) 

Started out slow but picked up pretty nicely in my opinion. At one point, Shinsuke was on the top rope then Seth grabbed him and delivered a superplex into a falcon’s arrow to a near fall.  By the end of the match, Shinsuke tried to hit the Kinshasa but Seth countered it into the stomp and won the match. 

Two things that bothered me was one, the Los Angeles crowd didn’t do it justice beacuse the match was very good and two, Nakamura losing was a mistake considering that he’s been doing nothing on Smackdown Live besides facing Rusev, hence losing a lot of momentum. Shinsuke Nakamura is the US champion and he needs to treated as a champion instead of being underutilised.  

The Bar (Smackdown Tag Team Champion ) vs AOP (RAW Tag Team champion) 

This was a quick match. Nothing really in this match in my opinion. AOP won that match with the double team powerbomb. 

Mustafa Ali vs Buddy Murphy for the Cruiserweight Championship 

That moment where Murphy pushed Ali outside of the ring looked absolutely brutal. This was my match of the night I mean that Spanish fly Mustafa Ali delivered to Murphy on the outside like DAMN! Buddy Murphy retained the championship via Murphy's Law which is a pumphandle lift into Whale Hunt.

Men’s Survivor Series match 

This match was all over the place in a good way. Samoa Joe was out of the via an elimination by Drew McIntyre which I wished that Jeff Hardy took that spot instead of Joe considering that Jeff has nothing going on storyline wise in my opinion. RAW won the match which wasn’t surprising given that the arena that will host this year’s TLC PPV promoted a match between Braun Strowman and Baron Corbin. 

Ronda Rousey (RAW Women’s Champion) vs Charlotte Flair 

I can’t do it justice by me just talking about how great this match was. It’s a FANTASTIC match with a FANTASTIC ending and I’ll explain what happened in the ending. Ronda was running to Charlotte until Charlotte grabbed a kendo stick and from there on, she destroyed the holy hell outta Ronda. 

The best part about this is that Charlotte was bland as a babyface and her turning heel like that out of nowhere was great. Props to Charlotte and Ronda for giving us a great match. 

Daniel Bryan (WWE Champion) vs Brock Lesnar (Universal Champion) 

This was uncomfortable to watch for the sake of Bryan’s health and well being until the last parts of the match. Bryan Lowblowed Lesnar and delivered the running knee to a near fall. Moments later, Daniel did the yes lock to Brock which almost made him tap until Bryan himself reversed that into a triangle lock which Brock Lesnar then reversed it into an F5 and won the match. That was a great match with a slow start.
