WWE Smackdown Live 18/12/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live was a decent show that did an okay job to build for next week's episode. Why you ask? Well, I’m gonna tell you what’s good, what’s okay and what’s bad. Here we go.

WHAT'S GOOD

Daniel Bryan and Andrade “Cien” Almas vs AJ Styles and Mustafa Ali

Styles clobbers "Cien" with a Phenomenal Forearm...

Before this, Daniel cut a promo on how people are destroying the environment every day and how Fresno, California ranks number 1 in pollution which led to Daniel shouting “SHAME, SHAME, SHAME”. The match itself was good and it was a good way to end this episode of Smackdown Live.

The team of AJ Styles and Mustafa Ali won the match with Mustafa delivered the 054 to Daniel Bryan which I don’t know if it’s just me but this felt like it was no accident when Ali pinned Bryan. Hopefully, this leads to something great for Mustafa Ali.

WHAT’S OK

Becky Lynch Speaks About Her Loss

First off, Paige gone as GM is a huge mistake considering that she’s one of the best things on Smackdown Live but it is somewhat interesting as to what her new position is.

Secondly, this was a decent opening segment and it went like this. Becky was furious over her loss at TLC and then out came Charlotte. Charlotte cut a promo on how if Ronda didn't interfere, the queen would’ve become champion.

After that, Asuka came out to the ring and said that she’s the new champion. Outta nowhere, Vince McMahon came out and he asked Asuka on if she would defend her championship tonight.

Out came Naomi and Vince announced an impromptu championship match between Naomi and Asuka. Speaking of which….

Asuka vs Naomi for the Smackdown Live Women’s Championship

It was okay I guess. During the match, Naomi hit Asuka with the rare view to a near fall but unfortunately, that wasn’t enough because Asuka won the match with the Asuka lock.

Samoa Joe “Apologises” To Jeff Hardy

Joe claims he and the WWE Universe are worried about Joe because â€œa man of your fragile conditionâ€ will succumb to his demons.

Jeff Hardy came out to the ring and asked Samoa Joe to apologize in front of him.

Out came Samoa Joe and said that he’s “worried” that Hardy might mess up again to which Jeff replied by saying that Joe is haunted by the fact that he hasn’t won a single title since coming to the WWE (which I understood that he talked about the main roster but Samoa Joe is a former 2 time NXT champion so Jeff’s wrong on that).

After that, Joe tried to punch Jeff but Jeff reversed that into a twist of fate. It was a whatever segment but I do think that Samoa Joe needs a win in order to make him look legitimate.

Hopefully, he proves Jeff wrong and actually wins some titles in the near future.

The Usos vs Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson

Decent match. At one point, Jey Uso tried to hit the suicide dive but Anderson reversed it into a kick on Jey’s face which made him stuck between the ropes.

By the end of the match, The Bar’s music hit and Sanity outta nowhere interfered in the match which made the match end in a DQ.

After the match, The Bar beat both Usos and The Good Brothers. Are they finally gonna utilize Sanity to their fullest potential? Hopefully but I highly doubt that.

WHAT’S BAD

The Miz and Mandy Rose vs The Fabulous Truth

The Miz and Mandy Rose won the match with a skull crushing finale to R Truth. I really like the duo of R Truth and Carmella but this was a throwaway match.

My question is, what do you think about RAW last night? Let me know in the comments below and click here to read my review for this week's episode of RAW. Make sure to follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions and stay safe smarks.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode. The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW. NXT Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship. Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that. As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail). Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that). War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship. First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so. Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match. Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship. Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...

WWE RAW 8/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, I really thought that this episode of Monday Night RAW was decent, however, this is not a Vince McMahon approved RAW without a few if not some logic holes. Seth Rollins And Becky Lynch vs Andrade and Zelina Vega. Damn, the second week in a row where Monday Night RAW started off with a match. Gotta say I'm impressed. This is an elimination mixed tag team match which I'll give some kudos to WWE for making this tag match feel different but we shall see how different it is from. Becky Lynch eliminated Zelina Vega which means that Becky is pretty much going to watch this match unfold if that makes any sense? Andrade did the three amigos to Seth and Seth countered the third suplex with the falcon arrow. That was nice. Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch won the match with the stomp to Andrade. Surprisingly, this was a decent opening match. After the match, Baron Corbin sought attacked Seth Rollins while Lacey Evans hits Becky Lynch with the woman...
