WWE RAW 11/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show makes me wanna go home if I was an attendance of this show. In other words, RAW wasn't good and here's why. 

Opening Segment. 

Stephanie and Triple H say the match will only take place if Becky apologizes to both of them.
The show started off with The Authority. A stable that I actually don't mind but that a different topic. Anyways, they run down the Elimination Chamber PPV card. After that, The Man Becky Lynch came out and Triple H said that he will lift the suspension if Becky apologizes to both him and Stephanie.  

Becky then told Stephanie to shut her face and she refused to apologize. The segment ended with Hunter giving her two choices. Either Becky apologizes to them or Becky's WrestleMania match is off. 

Compared to the segments on RAW and Smackdown last week, this was underwhelming. 

Sasha and Bayley vs Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan vs Nia Jax and Tamina. Loser enters first in the Elimination Chamber match.

The match was fine. During the match, Bayley delivered two stunners on the ropes to Tamina and Morgan. Minutes after that, Nia Jax delivered the Samoan drop to Bayley and won the match. So that means that Bayley and Sasha Banks will enter the match first (No shit, Omar). 

Elias Concert. 

Elias is furious that he keeps getting interrupted, and he can̢۪t believe his album wasn̢۪t up for a Grammy.
A backstage segment between Becky Lynch and Finn Balor, A Seth Rollins promo package and Lucha House Party entrance interrupted Elias’ concert which at this point feels repetitive and a great example of bad creative writing. After Elias wanted to do a duet between him and Kalisto, he hits him with the guitar. Predictable. 

Finn Balor vs Drew McIntyre.

First off, a handicap match between Rush and Lashley vs Finn Balor for the Intercontinental championship is rather dumb I mean why not a single match instead? Anyways, The match was okay. Match ended in a DQ because of Bobby Lashley. After that, Kurt Angle comes to the rescue and outta nowhere Baron Corbin beat Angle hard which led to Braun Strowman coming out to the ring. You know what that means…….

Braun Strowman, Finn Balor and Kurt Angle vs Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre.

Three commercial breaks should tell you how I feel about this match because this match was boring. The team of Braun Strowman, Finn Balor and Kurt Angle won the match with Balor delivered the Coup de grace to Bobby Lashley. 

After that, Kevin Owens in a smartphone recorded video, tells the world that he has one more month until he returns to in-ring action. Can't wait. 

Nikki Cross vs Ruby Riott. 

WWE Photo
The match was okay. Ruby won the match here. I know this is a nitpick but man if you want to make Ruby look good going into Elimination Chamber, don't you want to put somebody other than Nikki Cross? 

Seth Rollins Talks About His Beating From Brock A Couple Of Weeks Back. 

The Kingslayer recalls lasting 65 minutes in a Gauntlet Match and winning the Intercontinental Title at WrestleMania and defending it on six continents.
Seth Rollins came out to the ring and he said that he's on a roll for the past year and he's glad to share that with the fans. Rollins also said that he took 6 F5s and he's still standing and he can beat Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania. 

Out came Paul Heyman and the advocate for Brock Lesnar said that the notion that all men are created equal is false. Heyman also that Seth is the architect of his own demise (great line by the way). 

Seth then said that Brock Lesnar held this show for too long and doesn't care about what he's going get at Wrestlemania. After that, Dean Ambrose told Seth Rollins to slay the beast. I thought this segment was decent and boy, that heel run from Dean was a waste. 

Dean Ambrose vs EC3. 

WWE Photo
Two things. One, Why I'm seeing this match and two, why can't EC3 win this match? 

Bobby Roode and Chad Gable vs The Revival for the RAW tag team championship. 

Dash drops an elbow into Gable's sternum.
This was a very good tag team match. Took WWE a long time to do this but The Revival are the new RAW tag team champions. How they did it? By a shatter machine of course to Chad Gable. I wonder why WWE gave The Revival the titles? 

Becky Lynch Makes Her Decision. 

WWE Photo
The Authority came out to the ring after Becky Lynch and advised her to say those two words. Becky Lynch then said “I'm sorry” and they made the match official. Ronda Rousey marched to the ring, Vince McMahon showed up, suspended Becky and replaced Lynch with Charlotte Flair. You know what, I don't mind a triple threat match because that's what this storyline is heading to. 

If I'm booking the SmackDown Live women's championship match at Wrestlemania, I would have booked an open challenge and the person that answers the challenge is none other than Shayna Baszler. If Baszler loses the NXT women's championship at the Takeover show. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 
.
Like: RAW Tag Team Title match. 

Didn’t like: EC3 vs Dean Ambrose, Nikki Cross vs Ruby Riott, Braun Strowman, Finn Balor and Kurt Angle vs Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre.

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 5/10/20 | A Coherent Review.

I have not said this in a RAW review in a very long time but the show as a whole was straight up dogsh*t awful.  It's so bad that I didn't like one ounce about this program.  pictures via wwe.com Randy Orton Remembers His Match At Clash Of Champions.  The show started off with Randy Orton recalling certain aspects about the WWE championship match at Clash Of Champions.  Orton goes on to say that Drew doesn't deserve the championship because the legends interfered in the ambulance match.  The promo ended with Orton bringing up the fact that he beat up four legends last week on RAW (again, explain the physics behind this?).  Drew showed up and he laid waste on the guy.  Randy has been quite exceptional in the dialogue department but this ain't it.  The promo actually put me to sleep and the show didn't even hit 10 minutes up until that point.  If they suddenly end the rivalry like nothing happened, while it doesn't make sense, I'm all for it be...

WWE NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff | My Coherent Review.

via WWE I don't watch or review the first NXT UK Takeover for some odd reason but I'm so glad I did because that was like the main NXT Takeovers, was absolutely great to watch. I'm just speechless and if you have watched the show then you'll know why (also, if you somehow didn't watch this show, what are you doing? Go and treat yourself with some wrestling goodness.) Noam Dar vs Travis Banks.  A very enjoyable opening match. Noam Dar proves that he's great at what he does with so many submission holes because if you don't know, I'm a technical wrestling connoisseur. Noam Dar won the match with a standing shining wizard.  Cesaro vs Ilja Dragunov. Always great to see Cesaro do what he does best and that's a fight inside the square circle. So, Ilja called out Cesaro because Cesaro's looking for an open challenge and Cesaro obviously picked his challenger.  The Swiss Cyborg started off this match by throwing Dragunov to the outside ...
