WWE Smackdown Live 15/1/19 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live was besides one match, was a skippable show and here's why. 

Opening Segment. 

The Empress of Tomorrow claims that Becky will be in Asuka̢۪s shadow after Royal Rumble.
Basically SmackDown Live started off with Becky was backstage and drank whatever the hell Otis made in the blender. She then was in the ring and Becky said being the man is not easy. Becky also said that she delivered everything she said and how Asuka hasn't beaten Charlotte before. 

Out came Asuka and she said that Becky only talks and Becky is like a bee that hasn't stung. Asuka ended the promo by saying that come Royal Rumble Becky is in her ring. Out came the Australian duo and they said that a champion shouldn't be intimidating but instead should be treated with class. 

They also said that they're gonna win the GORGEOUS looking women's tag teams titles and win the women's Royal Rumble match. Becky Lynch challenged one of the IIconics and Peyton Royce answered the challenge. This was compared to RAW’s opening segment, was so much better in terms of length. 

Becky Lynch vs Peyton Royce.

This match was used to further build this storyline between Asuka and Becky and turns out I'm right (No shit, Omar). Becky Lynch won the match with the disarmher. After the match, Asuka spoke Japanese with anger in her eyes and challenged Billie Kay to which she accepted that ended quickly with Asuka delivered the Asuka lock to Billie Kay. 

AJ Styles goes to the concession stand.

Styles was at the concession stand and basically did the opposite of what Daniel Bryan did last week. Out came Daniel Bryan and both of those men brawled until the officials separated them. 

Also happened backstage, Mandy sends a flirting message to Jimmy's Uso. Uh oh. 

Mustafa Ali vs Samoa Joe.

The match hasn't even started yet because, during Alias entrance, Samoa Joe absolutely beat the crap outta Mustafa Ali. 

Rey Mysterio vs Andrade (Cien Almas).

First off, WWE are I’m assuming getting rid of his last two names which it was whatever. Secondly, Their match late last year was amazing but was it any better? Too early to say but this was a great match.  Too many great highlights from both men. Andrade won the match with the hammerlock DDT from the top turnbuckle. Again, what a match. 


After that great encounter, Mandy was seducing Jimmy Uso and the reason why Mandy did it was became Mandy’s mad that Naomi thinks that she's as hot as Mandy. Then outta nowhere, Naomi stormed on the hotel room and beat the crap outta Mandy Rose. I feel like this will end with Naomi having a partner to face Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville. 

Shane McMahon’s Birthday Celebration.

WWE Photo
The Miz introduced the birthday boy to the ring. Shane then gave his usual cheap pop. After that, Miz showed him the gifts including a pretty good video package about Shane McMahon. 

Shane McMahon opened up about how he's always wanted to be a tag team champion and that's why he accepted this match. After the Miz sang the happy birthday song, The Bar came out and said that they will beat Shane and Miz at the Royal Rumble. McMahon then made a match between Miz and Sheamus. 

Match itself was rather quick and meaningless but this entire segment was boring. The Miz won the match with the roll up. After the match, Shane McMahon rushed to the ring to help a beaten down Sheamus. This wasn't a good way to end SmackDown Live in my opinion. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Rey Mysterio vs Andrade. 

Didn't like: Shane McMahon Birthday celebration and The Miz vs Sheamus.

WWE NXT Takeover: Toronto | My Coherent Review.

Another month or so, another great NXT Takeover event courtesy of the NXT creative team filled with top-notch in-ring action and storytelling. I know it feels tiresome when you heard people praise highly talk about the Takeover shows but trust me they are that good.  The Street Profits vs The Undisputed Era for the NXT Tag Team Championship. During the match, Montez Ford delivered the people's elbow after hitting a spinebuster on Bobby Fish. The match ended with a frog splash from Montez Ford and The Street Profits continues to celebrate as tag team champions.  I'm very conflicted with this decision mainly because I don't want to see more okay matches between The Forgotten Sons and Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan but I'm going to be optimistic hoping that it's not the case.  Io Shirai vs Candice Lerae.  Io's theme song is simple yet badass at the same time (no shit, Omar). The match started off with Candice rushing to the ring and brawled on the outs...

WWE RAW 13/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

I didn't like this show. Thankfully, this episode didn't pull a Smackdown but because of how well last week's show went, I felt really underwhelmed watching that.   MVP Lounge. Special Guest, Dolph Ziggler.  Montel Von Porter welcomed his guest that shares a common hatred for Drew McIntyre and that guest is, of course, Dolph Ziggler.  Ziggler compliments the new United States championship design to which MVP let him know that he'll talk to his people and get a new WWE championship design once the show-off, wins the championship (and honestly, Ziggler's got a point, the WWE Title needs a new design).  Dolph further tells MVP that he's the reason why Drew defeated Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania for the WWE title.  Out came the Scotsmen himself and he basically said that he'll beat the crap out of him and Dolph got a bit of that with a punch. An enjoyable segment.  The thing I kind of appreciate about this feud is that Dolph...

Finn Balor Is Indeed Out Of Action.

A couple of days ago, WWE announced that Finn Balor suffered an injury and didn't specify on what the injury was. His last match, by the way, was a triple threat match at a house show last Wednesday in Santiago, Chile against Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre to which McIntrye won.  It turns out that Finn wasn't dealing with an injury at all, at least according to Mike Johnson over at  PWinsider . Instead, Balor is dealing with an illness and couldn't continue the Latin America tour. Finn is also unable to compete on the Mixed Match Challenge, replacing him with Apollo Crews. But the powers that be believe that he's 100% ready for TLC next week. Here's what he had to say about that via Twitter:  I am sorry I could not preform in #WWEBuenosAires Lo siento no pude competir en #WWEBuenosAires — Finn Bálor forEVERYone (@FinnBalor) December 7, 2018   I wish him nothing but a speedy recovery.  By the way, I report on the 5 major or minor news of ...
