WWE Smackdown Live 22/1/19 | My Coherent Review.

The Smackdown Live episode before the Royal Rumble was pretty good. However, it did things that I like and did one thing that I didn’t like. I will try to shorten my reviews from now on because looking at my reviews, it feels like I’m writing a mini novel.

Opening segment.

The Empress of Tomorrow immediately gets into a war of words with The Man.

Becky Lynch was on the ring and she cut a promo basically saying that Asuka took her title without pinning her clean and Becky is confident that she will take her title back this Sunday.

Asuka then approached to the ring without saying a word until Charlotte Flair came out and basically said that she’s going to win the Rumble. That led to a sneak attack from Asuka which led to a brawl between Asuka and Becky. I get that they wanna set up a brawl between Asuka and Becky but the sneak attack made no sense to me.

Naomi vs Mandy Rose.

After the distraction, Mandy Rose pinned Naomi to the cut of three and won the match. Match itself was fine.

The Miz vs Cesaro.

The match ended with Cesaro delivered the neutralizer to The Miz and then The Bar beat the holy hell outta both the Miz and Shane McMahon. So bad that both Cesaro and Sheamus put Shane McMahon on to The Miz through an announce table. This beatdown made The Bar look impressive and for that, I like it.

Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles face to face confrontation with Vince McMahon.

Minutes after Vince McMahon introduced both Bryan and Styles, Daniel Bryan cut a promo on how AJ Styles uses his fame for himself while Bryan uses his fame for the greater good.

He also said that he's not the people's champion but rather the planet's champion. Styles replied by saying that Daniel became a different person because of the WWE championship and he's a fickle because of it.

Vince got bored and told Bryan to get in the ring. Daniel Bryan then cut a promo about Vince McMahon and people like Vince. After Vince told Bryan to get in the ring again, Styles had enough which Bryan then hit him and ran. I like this segment, especially his promo on Vince McMahon.

Mustafa Ali vs Samoa Joe.

Decent match. Ali's dive is always great to watch. The match ended with Joe reversed Ali’s finisher and turned it into the kokina clutch and won the match.

After that, there was an entertaining New Day interview with Kayla Braxton. By the way, Tony Chimmel's appearance made me laugh.

Rey Mysterio vs Andrade. Two out of three falls match.

Pretty good match. Andrade won the first fall with the powerbomb over the top rope. Rey won the second fall with the Canadian Destroyer. In the closing moments of the match, Mysterio was going for a 619 but Samoa Joe interrupted and beat both Mysterio and Andrade.

Joe cut a promo on how this beatdown is nothing compared to what he's going to do in the Royal Rumble this Sunday and then Randy Orton outta nowhere hit an RKO to Samoa Joe. Well, that was an unexpected ending to this show.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:

Like: The main event, Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles face to face confrontation, The Bar's dominance after The Miz and Cesaro match.

Didn't like: Asuka's sneak attack to Becky Lynch.

WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...

AEW Dynamite Blood And Guts | A Coherent Review.

Another watchable episode of AEW Dynamite but this time, it features the first-ever Blood And Guts encounter. Kenny Omega And Michael Nakazawa vs Jon Moxley And Eddie Kingston. Don Callis announced that Michael Nakazawa is going to face Mox and Kingston all by himself only for Kenny Omega to show up and compete in the match anyway. A weird booking choice but I'm just nitpicking. What wasn't weird was how the match ended with a double team dragon suplex into a clothesline from the duo of Mox and Kingston to Nakazawa. Then, a beatdown ensued from Omega's Posse to Jonny Mox and Eddie Kingston. The Young Bucks vs Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston? I'm down. It was revealed later in the night that a number one contenders match for the AEW championship is set up for next week's show between Orange Cassidy and Pac. I'm assuming AEW is saving the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega encounter for All Out? Either way, AEW has the potential to tell an interesting story of ...

WWE RAW 1/3/21 | A Coherent Review

Bobby Lashley is the NEW WWE champion and all I can say is, what do you expect? It's not like WWE has ever messed up a performer's momentum, am I right? (That sarcasm was drier than Robert Patterson's sense of humour). All jokes aside, I thought this show was actually decent. Here's hoping that next week or the weeks after aren't a stinker. Images via WWE.com Drew McIntyre vs Sheamus. Monday Night RAW starting the show with a match is refreshing. And I immediately spoke too soon as Drew cut a promo before this about how he's had the worst February ever, recapping what happened to him that month. The Miz and John Morrison came out to tell Drew McIntyre that the Scotsmen is handling the WWE title with loss and wanted the former WWE champion to join him because Miz has a huge target on his back. McIntyre wasn't having Miz's BS to which MVP told The Miz that he has an hour to defend his championship. Sheamus showed up and both former men...
