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 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 20/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of Monday Night RAW felt like if last week's show had a sequel if that analogy makes sense?  It didn't have a new, fresh take on the show and they instead played it safe which is fine. In this case, adding a few risks will definitely help the show from the overall feeling of emptiness metaphorically speaking of course.  Drew McIntyre Addresses The Man That Stomped Him Twice.   McIntyre opens a Monday Night RAW show with a promo for the second episode in a row. He wasn't shocked that Seth Rollins attacked him last week due to his new price possession and how the superstars want that taste of gold.  Angel Garza's music hits and the current United States champion, Andrade, strikes Drew but that led to not one but two claymore kicks on Andrade.  A decent opening segment. Did its job on building the main event match between Garza and Drew McIntyre. It must be cool for Angel Garza to go one on one with THE WWE champion. A definite car...

WWE RAW 3/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

I thought I would never say this but so far, I'm actually looking forward to Super showdown 2020 and this episode further explains why.  The red brand did a great job on building two upcoming shows and WWE should be applauded for that in my opinion (also, the crowd tonight was on fire. Shout out to Salt Lake City).  Randy Orton Respond About His Actions Last Week.  Following a brutal attack from the viper last week and a video package to open this very show, Randy explains his actions by not explaining much saying that he can't do this with a storm of boos that rivalled Salt Lake City's snowstorm earlier that day.  This was a brilliant segment. He continues to show emotion about what he did last week despite not saying much. It was short but sweet.  Liv Morgan vs Lana.   After the second victory in a row for Liv Morgan, Riott Squad leader Ruby Riott returned to betray her best friend and Lana used that attack from Ruby to further...
