WWE Royal Rumble 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Royal Rumble 2019. Was it all that good? The answer is nope. Wasn't awful, it just made some booking mistakes or as I like it to call it, They've made some booking holes (this joke is as clever as WWE's booking these days). Without further ado, on with the review.

PRESHOW: Rusev vs Shinsuke Nakamura for the United States Championship.

The match itself was decent but Nakamura’s win made Rusev’s title reign a complete waste of air time at this point. Like why Rusev capture the US title only for a month later for Nakamura to get the championship right back? Makes no sense to me.

Speaking of a complete waste of time. The creative team decided to pair Scott Dawson and Rezar (because Akam got injured and recently had knee surgery) to face Bobby Roode and Chad Gable for the RAW tag team championship only for Dawson and Rezar to lose the match. Gotta love WWE's “creativity”.

Buddy Murphy vs Hideo Itami vs Kalisto vs Akira Tozawa for the Cruiserweight championship.

That was a fun match. Buddy Murphy retained his Cruiserweight championship with Murphy's law to Itami.

MAIN SHOW: Asuka vs Becky Lynch for the Smackdown Live Women’s Championship.

Decent opener. During the match, both of those women did their finishers between the ropes. The match ended with Asuka delivered the Asuka lock to Lynch with a bridge and just like that, Asuka is still the champion. I don’t mind the way Becky lost, it’s just the match could’ve gone a bit longer.

The Bar vs Shane McMahon and The Miz for the Smackdown Live Tag Team Championship.

A very good tag team match. Shane McMahon and The Miz won the match with a shooting star press from Shane to Cesaro and you know what? I ain’t even mad about it considering that the Smackdown Live roster are lacking good quality tag teams and putting Shane McMahon in the tag team division gives the division much more attention and hopefully, to have them put over some other teams with the exception of The Bar.

Ronda Rousey vs Sasha Banks for the RAW Women’s Championship.

Good match with an underwhelming ending. look, I know that Ronda was gonna retain the championship anyway, it’s just the way she won it with was again underwhelming. Ronda won the match with the piper’s pit. After the match, Ronda gave her respect to Sasha but instead Sasha gave Rousey the four sign. Intriguing.

The Women’s Royal Rumble Match.

This match reminds me of the 2009 Royal Rumble match. It wasn’t terrible but it was so boring. The right woman won in Becky Lynch. I’m really interested as to where this goes from here. Hoping for a triple threat match between Becky, Ronda and Charlotte at Wrestlemania.

AJ Styles vs Daniel Bryan For the WWE Championship.

The match was very good. Daniel Bryan retained his Championship with the help from Erick Rowan which didn’t he, Luke Harper, Daniel Bryan and Kane fought for the Tag Team Championship a couple of months ago? This pairing feels rather odd but I will give this a chance.

Finn Balor vs Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship

This was MATCH OF THE NIGHT right there. The match ended with Brock delivered the kamura Lock and that made Finn Balor Tap out (man, this show is full of unusual finishes). Brock is still Universal Champion. After the match, Brock put the mugging out of Balor for some reason. Will Brock defend his Universal Championship inside Elimination Chamber next month? Will have to wait and see.

The Men’s Royal Rumble Match.

Was I the only thing one that didn’t mind Nia Jax being in this match? Anyways, Seth Rollins is the 2019 Royal Rumble winner which I’m happy with. Overall a decent Royal Rumble match and that's all I gotta say about that.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:

Like: Buddy Murphy vs Akira Tozawa vs Kalisto vs Hideo Itami for the Cruiserweight championship, The Bar vs Shane McMahon and The Miz for the Smackdown Live Tag Team Championship, Ronda Rousey vs Sasha Banks for the RAW Women’s Championship, Finn Balor vs Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship.

Didn’t like: The Women’s Royal Rumble Match. The ending to Rusev vs Shinsuke Nakamura for the United States Championship, the entire Rezar and Dawson vs Bobby Roode and Chad Gable match.

My Coherent Predictions On: Money In The Bank 2018

Money in the bank has THE WORST buildup of 2018 so far (at least on the RAW side). Is it going to be worst than RAW this past few weeks or possibly backlash? Will find out this Sunday but anyways on with the predictions Sami Zayn vs Bobby Lashley What can I say about this feud? ● No meaning behind it. ● No meaning behind it. ● And why's Bobby Lashley promo last night sounds like bubbles from powerpuff or something? Nevertheless, It's a shame that both lashley and zayn are given a shitstorm of a storyline considering that their better than this. WINNER : Bobby Lashley. Bludgeon Brothers vs Luke Gallows And Karl Anderson WOW! Another match I don't give two fucks about. However if they want to make the show intriguing and unpredictable then I'll put the belts on.... WINNER: Gallows and Anderson. Big Cass vs Daniel Bryan. WWE made the right call in my opinion on moving big Cass to smackdown because he...

WWE Survivor Series 2019 | My Coherent Review.

The Survivor Series shows as of a few years has gotten better in terms of overall positives and I thought that this year will be no exception. It pains me to say this but the 2019 edition of Survivor Series was just okay. A few highlights but overall, not an offensive 3 ½ hours of wrestling to watch, to say the least. Oh, and I haven't seen the pre-show matches so I can't talk about it. Team RAW In Kabuki Warriors, Charlotte Flair, Natalya And Sarah Logan vs Team Smackdown In Nikki Cross, Dana Brooke, Sasha Banks, Lacey Evans And Sasha Banks vs Team NXT In Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Candice LeRae, Io Shirai And Toni Storm. Women's Survivor Series Match. Io Shirai and Kairi Sane delivered some quick moves earlier in the match. Brooke delivered an impressive rolling Senton to Shirai. Given that LeRae and Io were hurt, they were both eliminated. Bianca Belair got rid of two women. One, it was Nikki Cross with a roll-up and the other was Sarah Logan with a 450...

WWE NXT 24/4/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a meh episode of NXT. If this is the first time that somebody watches NXT with this episode then you'll have a hard time convincing that particular person to watch another episode you know what I mean? The Forgotten Sons’ Jaxson Ryker vs Humberto Carrillo. I don't watch 205 live but I'm loving every time Humberto wrestles. The match ended in a double count out because Ryker was beating the crap out of Carrillo until Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan showed up to save the young luchador. Not a fan of the Forgotten Sons but this feud for some reason made me wanna watch those two teams fight and I don't know why exactly. After that, Adam Cole was asked backstage in a photo shoot about the Roderick Strong vs Johnny Gargano match until Matt Riddle showed up and said that it's his turn which led to Adam Cole leaving the shoot. Aliyah and Vanessa Bourne vs Candice LeRae and Kacy Catanzaro. This was okay. The team of Candice LeRae and Kacy Cat...
