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.

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.

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 ...
