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.

WWE RAW 16/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another L for the red brand in terms of overall quality. And they do not need that L considering that it's the final show before this year's SummerSlam event.  Images via WWE.com   Randal Keith Orton And Riddal Are Back Together?  Randy explained his actions last week, stating that he simply doesn't owe anyone an explanation because he's Randy Orton (okay?).  Out came the most obnoxious person in Riddle and he wanted RKBRO to reunite. Styles showed up to hype up his big goof in Omos.  That RKO last week was as confusing as the thought of Jupiter Ascending being a "good movie".    The question is, did the band realigned themselves once again?  The answer was a soft no if you stopped watching the show after the Riddle and AJ Styles match (I don't blame ANYONE that stops watching Monday Night RAW).  However, that became a solid yes after Randy's bout with Omos. Am I the only one that feels kinda mid about this?  It's not terri...

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Cody Rhodes vs Wardlow In A Steel Cage, Bianca Belair Calling Out Charlotte Flair.

For the second week in a row, All Elite Wrestling has knocked it out of the park in their premier pro wrestling show while NXT is cooling off the steam creatively that is Takeover: Portland. Hopefully, the yellow brand picks back up next week.  NXT       Highlights.  Broserweights vs Oney Lorcan And Danny Burch.  That dialogue when Riddle said that they partied so hard in Portland that Pete Dunne failed the wellness policy was hilarious. The champions are immediately getting back to work after that great performance this past Sunday.  Also, this is the return of Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan so it's great to see those guys. The champions are still strong thanks to that knee strike from Riddle to win this match. A good match indeed.  Chelsea Green vs Kayden Carter.  The reason why I put this in my highlights is not because of the match but rather Bianca Belair showing up and challenging Charlotte Flair saying that...

The 5 News Week: WWE Hitting The Road Once Again!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.   Some Images via WWE.com Johnny Ace Back On Being The Talent Relations For WWE.  John Laurinaitis returning as the talent relations for world wrestling entertainment aka big f**king yikes.  From F4WOnline and Dave Meltzer , Johnny is *sigh* back on the talent relations side of WWE and will be reporting to WWE's executive vice president of operations, Brad Blum.  The article did go on to mention that the talent relations side division has been split into "talent management and talent branding".  Fightful select has some additional information on this story about the backstage reaction of the news and pretty much, some of the talents weren't too happy with the news.  Keep in mind that WWE hasn't officially confirmed this news.  I don't ne...
