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.

WWE RAW 16/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another L for the red brand in terms of overall quality. And they do not need that L considering that it's the final show before this year's SummerSlam event. Images via WWE.com Randal Keith Orton And Riddal Are Back Together? Randy explained his actions last week, stating that he simply doesn't owe anyone an explanation because he's Randy Orton (okay?). Out came the most obnoxious person in Riddle and he wanted RKBRO to reunite. Styles showed up to hype up his big goof in Omos. That RKO last week was as confusing as the thought of Jupiter Ascending being a "good movie". The question is, did the band realigned themselves once again? The answer was a soft no if you stopped watching the show after the Riddle and AJ Styles match (I don't blame ANYONE that stops watching Monday Night RAW). However, that became a solid yes after Randy's bout with Omos. Am I the only one that feels kinda mid about this? It's not terri...

WWE RAW 23/11/20 | A Coherent Review.

Monday Night RAW this week felt like 7 hours instead of 3 hours because this show was a snooze fest. There were a few good moments but for the most part, I was bored as f**k watching this episode. Images via WWE.com This Segment Bruh… To put it simply, the segment was straight up dogsh*t. Pretty much all of the competitors in the RAW Survivor Series men's team stated their reason as to why they deserve a WWE title opportunity (with jokes from Riddle cornier than any Nick Cannon's comedy sketch). Then, Braun Strowman attacked Adam Pearce because Braun was bothered by Adam Pearce saying, "last but not least" to him. Whyee? That attack from Strowman made him look so stupid. You (Braun) would've had a slight chance to face Drew for the WWE championship so why attack the guy? The New Day vs Shelton Benjamin And Cedric Alexander For The RAW Tag Team Championship. Moving on from something that is actually slightly worst? I would be co...

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Cody Rhodes vs Wardlow In A Steel Cage, Bianca Belair Calling Out Charlotte Flair.

For the second week in a row, All Elite Wrestling has knocked it out of the park in their premier pro wrestling show while NXT is cooling off the steam creatively that is Takeover: Portland. Hopefully, the yellow brand picks back up next week. NXT Highlights. Broserweights vs Oney Lorcan And Danny Burch. That dialogue when Riddle said that they partied so hard in Portland that Pete Dunne failed the wellness policy was hilarious. The champions are immediately getting back to work after that great performance this past Sunday. Also, this is the return of Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan so it's great to see those guys. The champions are still strong thanks to that knee strike from Riddle to win this match. A good match indeed. Chelsea Green vs Kayden Carter. The reason why I put this in my highlights is not because of the match but rather Bianca Belair showing up and challenging Charlotte Flair saying that...
