WWE Smackdown Live 26/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was overall an okay show that did a decent job at building some intrigued for what is a waste of a PPV in Fastlane. By the way, There's no women's match on this show which is rather odd. 

Opening segment. 

KO sits down at the table and signs the contract to challenge Bryan!

The show kicked off with Shane McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Rowan and Daniel Bryan all in the ring for a contract signing which is rare that a contract signing actually starts a wrestling show. Shane McMahon then showed Kofi Kingston career highlights which led to Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon introducing Kofi Kingston. 

Kofi Kingston cut a promo saying that he finally got a one on one WWE championship match after 11 years and he's gonna beat Daniel Bryan for that title. After that, Daniel Bryan signed the contract and Kofi was about to sign the contract but Vince McMahon randomly showed up. 

Vince announced that he's replacing Kofi with the returning Kevin Owens. First, Vince screwed Becky Lynch and now he screwed Kofi Kingston. That's odd because a Daniel Bryan vs Kevin Owens match is a Wrestlemania worthy match. Interesting to see where this goes. 

The Bar vs The Hardy Boyz.

Man, Matt Hardy looks great in this match. Anyways, this is a rematch from Extreme Rules 2017 if I'm not mistaken and it was okay. The Hardy Boyz won the match with the Swanton bomb to Sheamus from Jeff Hardy. 

Minutes after that, there was a locker segment between Aleister Black, Ricochet and Lana. Lana said that she doesn't get the hype and the veterans in Rusev and Nakamura will crush both of them. Aleister Black replied by saying that Rusev and Nakamura will fade to Black.  

R Truth vs Andrade vs Rey Mysterio for the United States championship.

R Truth, I thought you went miss or something? Nevertheless, a decent match but Andrade should've won that championship considering that R Truth is not doing ANYTHING with the US title. After the match, Rey was going for the 619 but Andrade retreated. 

Charlotte Talks About Becky's Arrest And Ronda Rousey Putting The Belt On The Middle Of The Ring. 

The Queen says Mr. McMahon was right about how she stays in her lane and always delivers, unlike Becky Lynch.

Charlotte Flair cut a good promo in that ring as usual. The queen calls Becky Lynch a criminal and calls Ronda Rousey a quitter. She also said that both women are scared of Charlotte and she showed footage from RAW back in November when Ronda Rousey was cutting a promo saying that she's not gonna quit basically. She ends the promo by saying that Charlotte will be on RAW next week so that Vince McMahon will crown her as the new RAW women's champion. Really like this segment and Charlotte might be other than Tommaso Ciampa, the best heel in all of WWE. 

Aleister Black and Ricochet vs Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura.

Another good showcase for both Aleister Black and Ricochet in what it was overall a decent match. The team of Aleister Black and Ricochet won the match with the black mass to Nakamura. 

Then, Kayla Braxton interviewed AJ Styles about how he's ready for another challenge in the house that AJ Styles built. After that, Randy Orton showed up and said: “The house that AJ Styles what?” Is that WWE’S attempt at comedy because I'm confused about what I just saw. 

Kofi Kingston and Kevin Owens vs Daniel Bryan and Rowan.

Started slow but picked up really nicely. The team of Kevin Owens and Kofi Kingston won the match with the stunner from Owens to Daniel Bryan. After the match, it seemed like Kofi is okay with Owens taking his spot which I don't get if that's the case but will see what happens. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Charlotte segment. 

Didn't like: R Truth's win.

Top 7 Best TV Wrestling Matches Of 2020.

2020 was to quote the 5 News Week Look Back article , "eventful, awful, wild and surprisingly quick."  That doesn't mean there weren't some good wrestling to watch on television so here it is.  My and I repeat MY top 5 best TV matches of 2020. some images via WWE.com #7 Cody Rhodes vs Darby Allin. AEW TNT Championship Semi-Finals Bout.  This list includes two matches that starred two people with fantastic chemistry. One of them is this gem of an encounter between Cody Rhodes and Darby Allin. All elite wrestling has introduced a brand new championship for the mid-card and was contested via a good old fashioned tournament.  The matches were fine but one of them stood out amongst the rest.  That, of course, being the Cody Rhodes vs Darby Allin bout at the tournament's semi-finals.  Allin actually pulled off a crossrhodes that looked so good that I don't mind him adding it to his arsenal.   The finish was executed a bit poorly which is why it is lower...
