WWE RAW 11/3/19 | My Coherent Review.

This fallout show after Fastlane was quite poor and it's a great example of why RAW needs to get rid of the third hour. Don't know why the RAW after a PPV is usually not a good show but that's WWE for you. 

Opening Segment.

Rollins thinks Lesnar has a problem with guys who are Rollins̢۪ size and style, and he believes he̢۪s the one who̢۪s uniquely suited to beat Lesnar.
The show started with The Shield and Michael Cole at one point actually mentioned Dean Ambrose's contract expiration which is VERY rare. Anyways, Roman Reigns wanted a singles match tonight and told Rollins to stay the beast. After that, Reigns and Ambrose left the arena to give Seth some space. Out came Paul Heyman and he gave his usual stick. 
Seth Rollins replied by saying that guys like Balor, Styles and Daniel Bryan took Brock Lesnar’s limit and respects those guys but Seth is the only one that can slay the beast. 

Heyman then made excuses as to why Styles, Balor and Daniel took the Beast’s limit which led to Shelton Benjamin outta nowhere suplexes Seth and a match was made between those two. Speaking of which…..

Seth Rollins v Shelton Benjamin.

This is a very competitive yet decent match. Seth Rollins won the match with the stomp. The opening segment was also decent. Did its job to build off the universal championship at Wrestlemania. 

Finn Balor vs Bobby Lashley for the Intercontinental championship.  

WWE Photo
An okay match. The match ended with Lio Rush distracted Finn Balor which led to Finn trying to do a springboard manoeuvre but Lashley countered that into a spear and just like that, Bobby Lashley is the two-time Intercontinental champion. I don't mind it because that win will only lead to Balor winning back the championship at Wrestlemania in a rematch. Possibly with a stipulation match of some kind.   

Ronda Rousey Addresses Her Actions At Fastlane Last Night. 

Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey doesn’t care about what the “bandwagon fans” think.
First things first, shout out to the people that made memes about what Ronda Rousey said about professional wrestling. Basically what she said in that segment was that she will beat Charlotte and Becky Lynch because they're a joke. 

This would've been a great segment until Dana Brooke came out and cut a very generic and just plain awful promo which led to Ronda beating the crap outta Dana Brooke. 

Aleister Black and Ricochet vs Roode and Gable. 

WWE Photo
After the team of Aleister Black and Ricochet won the match with the black mass to Bobby Roode, The Revival from behind beat up Ricochet and Aleister Black. I don't know man, I hope this team of Aleister Black and Ricochet is a short term thing considering that they're better off alone. 

A moment of Bliss. 

Five Feet of Fury claims to be in total shock…
Alexa Bliss came out to present the host for Wrestlemania 35 and that person is herself. Alexa Bliss ends the segment by saying that this has been a moment of Bliss. Whatever. 

Braun Strowman was interrupted by a production assistant and he was gifted by the guys over at Saturday Night Live with a car. And you know what he does with the car? Strowman absolutely destroyed it. What the hell was that? I don't hate it but rather I'm really, really confused like where is WWE going with this? 

Elias Concert. 

WWE Photo
Elias was crapping on his hometown until No Way Jose interrupted the drifter. Elias then beat up the conga liners and No Way Jose. Meh. 

Nia Jax vs Natalya. 

WWE Photo
Holy crap Natalya, you got so many best friends like pick one. Anyways, the match hasn't started yet because of a brawl between Natalya, Beth Phoenix and Nia Jax. 

Batista and Triple H. Face To Face confrontation. 

“Your biggest mistake was always underestimating me, and we’re going to do this on my terms,” Batista says.
Triple H came out with his battle gear, wasting no time to call out Batista. Out came Batista with security guards. After Triple H called Batista a “model”, Batista cut a promo basically saying that Hunter should give Batista what he wants. Obviously, Hunter refused it and Batista again wanted to give Batista what he wants and that's a Wrestlemania match between those two. Triple H accepted it and made that match a no holds barred match. 

This was rather a disappointing segment man but I'm hopeful that the build for the next three week will be as good as this dull segment.

Kurt Angle Addresses His Future. 

He thanks WWE, every Superstar he ever shared the locker room with and the WWE Universe.
Kurt Angle was on the ring to announce that he's completing a farewell match at Wrestlemania and he made his last match in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania against Apollo Crews. The match was okay. Kurt Angle won the match with the Angle Slam. 

Roman Reigns vs Baron Corbin. 

WWE Photo
This match hasn't started yet because Drew McIntyre came out and deliver a series of Claymore kicks to Reigns. That led to Dean Ambrose telling Triple H that he wants a Fall Count Anywhere match between him and Mcintyre. Triple H accepted it and made the match official. 

Dean Ambrose vs Drew McIntyre. 

WWE Photo
Don't know why WWE would air a Fall Count Anywhere match on free TV filled with commercial breaks but nevertheless, this was a boring match if I'm being honest. Drew McIntyre won the match with the Claymore kick while Dean was hanging his head with a steel object of some kind. At this point, I was like “Finally, this show has ended”.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Ronda Rousey promo before Dana Brooke came out.

Didn’t like: Dana Brooke's promo, Batista and Triple H. Face To Face confrontation.

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 ...
