WWE Smackdown Live 5/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live was a good show that did a good job to build the Elimination Chamber PPV and here's why. 

Opening Segment.

WWE Photo
The show started off with the queen, Charlotte Flair and she basically said that Becky is arrogant and how she needs to get healthy in her match at Wrestlemania. Charlotte also said that she's good to go and the queen would love to face Ronda Rousey. Then, Becky Lynch came out from the crowd, approaches to the ring and out came Triple H. 

Minutes after Triple H verbally puts her down, Becky slaps Triple H and walked off. I really like this segment but I also loved Charlotte's character change considering that last year, she portrayed was a completely different character. A bland one at that. Like I said on my RAW review (which you can click here), I really like what they're going with this storyline and I hope this has a satisfying conclusion. 

Rusev and Nakamura vs Gallows and Anderson.

This was a decent match actually. the unholy alliance of Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura won the match with Rusev delivered the matcha kick to Anderson. 

After that, The Usos cut a promo backstage basically saying that they are a different but great tag team and the best tag team should go to the Usos penitentiary. It was okay. 

Mustafa Ali vs Randy Orton.

A very entertaining match overall. During the match, Ali delivered the tornado DDT but Orton kicked out. Minutes after that, Randy Orton hit an RKO to Ali and won the match. After the match, Samoa Joe took out both Mustafa Ali and Randy Orton. 

 Then Samoa Joe cut a promo basically confident that he will win the WWE championship inside the chamber (Bullshit). 

Daniel Bryan And His Great Educational Promo About The Environment.

Obviously, since this episode took place in his home state, you would think that he'll cut a babyface promo right? The answer is yes (no pun intended). He did talk about how the state of Washington are intelligent and they need change. Bryan also said that people and the planet needs him as WWE champion. The fact that he didn't crap on his home state was a nice change of scenery. Overall a very good segment. 

Naomi and Carmella vs The IIconics vs Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville. 

WWE Photo
This was okay I guess? The team of Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville won the match with Mandy delivered an underhook slam to Naomi. 

Then, Andrade and Zelina Vega cut a promo backstage basically stating that Rey Mysterio is old news and Andrade is the future. 

Jeff Hardy vs Daniel Bryan.

WWE Photo
Decent main event. Jeff Hardy was going for the Swanton bomb however Rowan pulled Hardy's legs, ending that match into a DQ. After that, the participants in this match came out to the ring and brawled each other but Styles stood tall to end this episode of Smackdown Live. I feel like this ending should've happened on the go home show but I'm just nitpicking. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Daniel Bryan usual great promo, Mustafa Ali vs Randy Orton, Opening Segment.

Didn't like: Nitpick but where's the US champion in R Truth?

WWE Clash Of Champions 2019 | My Coherent Review.

This Clash of Champions show was one enormous meh. Also, AJ Styles in the pre-show? That's a first but that match was pretty decent as well as the cruiserweight championship match.  Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The RAW Tag team Championship.  During this tag team title match, Ziggler hits a devastating looking DDT to Seth Rollins outside the ring. The odd couple then delivered quick tag team moves but moments later Rollins reversed Ziggler's sleeper hold into a falcon arrow to which Rollins tagged Braun Strowman and took out Ziggler and Roode for a bit.  This match has ended with a Glorious DDT from Robert Roode to Seth Rollins after Braun accidentally knocked out Rollins and Ziggler threw the monster among men over the top rope.  A decent opener with a predictable ending that I don't mind. Maybe a triple threat match between the odd couple, The Viking Raiders and The O.C in Gallows and Anderson for the tag ...

WWE NXT 2.0 14/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

NXT 2.0 or as I like to call it, NXT "I'M DIFFERENT" edition.  Let's get the positives out of the way. I like the set and the way it compliments NXT's new water multicolour look. In a world with main roster WWE and its giant screen, the presentation definitely stood out.  The entrance stage set also gave me a bit of a Wrestlemania 27 vibes and because of it, I'm always going to remind myself of that dogsh*t of a PPV so that's definitely a negative.  The main question is, Was the inaugural episode of NXT "third times the charm" edition any good?  Yes. The main thing NXT did right is how they showcase some of the newer faces on the brand.  There were a few head-scratching moments but as a whole, I enjoyed the episode.  Images via WWE.com Bron Breakker vs LA Knight.  We all know that Bron Breakker is an awful name (Bronson Rechsteiner was perfectly fine) but my God, that dude has the LOOK!   I mean, if I had to choose to rebrand myself in WWE, I...

WWE RAW 28/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

Not an enjoyable show like last week's show but it was okay for a typical RAW episode but for a PPV build up, it wasn't good at all.  The Women's Tag Team Champions Opens The Show And….. Paige started off this episode of Monday Night RAW and introduces the Kabuki Warriors which Paige hasn't been on their side for weeks and I'll explain that last comment.  Paige was putting over the warriors and Asuka grabbed her microphone immediately which led to Paige getting her mic back which led to Kairi Sane grabbing Paige's mic. Asuka splits that green mist to Paige to which Becky Lynch came out and brawls with Kairi Sane.  That betrayal from the Kabuki Warriors made a lot of sense considering that Paige didn't benefit them other than being their English spokesperson. Gotta give a big shout out to Paige for selling that green mist without taking a bump. That was great.  Becky Lynch vs Kairi Sane.  That was a very good opener. Kairi Sane reve...
