WWE RAW 4/3/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show episode of RAW was decent actually. It made me wanna watch a waste of a PPV called Fastlane with higher expectations. 

Opening Segment. 


WWE Photo
The show kicked off with the Big Dog for the second week in a row. Roman Reigns cut a promo basically saying that this is the fan's yard now and calls out Seth Rollins to the ring. Seth Rollins said that he's gonna take Roman's fight with leukaemia and use it as motivation to beat Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship. 

Roman Reigns replied by telling Seth “good luck” and Roman's wants the band to get back together. Seth Rollins was conflicted at first but later accepted it. Dean Ambrose comes out and he was hit by Elias with a guitar. Decent segment and I was expecting for Drew, Lashley and Corbin to come out but I'm glad that didn't happen.

Finn Balor, Braun Strowman and Kurt Angle vs Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre. 

WWE Photo
This match was boring three weeks ago and this match was surprisingly okay. By the end of the match, Braun Strowman ran through the barricade and Lashley delivered Finn Balor with the spear, winning the match in the process. After the match, Finn Balor got physically dismantled by Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley. Meh. 

Backstage Interview with Charly Caruso showing Heavy Machinery a locker room footage about The Ascension basically crapping on Otis. Otis then was offended in a way that he looks like he's about to tear up. I'm sure Otis gonna tear up when he and his partner are gonna sit in catering for the rest of their main roster careers, barely utilized. 

Natalya vs Ruby Riott. 

WWE Photo
This was a quick one. Natalya won the match with a small package. Then, Lacy Evans shows up and leaves. I don't where WWE is going with this honestly. 

After that, Stephanie McMahon meets with the guys over at Saturday Night Live in her office. Whatever. 

Triple H Addresses The Attack From Batista To Ric Flair Last Week. 

WWE Photo
Triple H cut a promo about how he's known Richard Flier for years and how he's been with Ric at his best and worst times. Hunter then called Batista a quitter, a piece of crap and basically called him generic for not showing up which I thought it was funny. 

Triple H ended the promo by saying that Batista is facing not the game but rather the man. This segment was fantastic and this is a great example of how you can create magic even with no concrete plans ahead if you know what I mean? 

After that, Charly Caruso asked Stephanie McMahon about the RAW Women's championship. Stephanie McMahon said that Becky's suspension has been lifted and Becky Lynch will face Charlotte Flair for the Vacant RAW Women's championship. Interesting. 

Heavy Machinery vs The B Team vs The Ascension vs Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder In A Gauntlet Match. 

WWE Photo
The shortest gauntlet match I've ever seen. The Heavy Machinery won the match with the caterpillar from Otis. I really don't get why are they making fun of Otis' weight considering that it's NOT. FUNNY. However, this match did make Heavy Machinery look good as a fighting team and that's a positive.  

Backstage segment after backstage segment after god damn backstage segment later and we got a match between Elias and Dean Ambrose. Speaking of which….

Dean Ambrose vs Elias. 

WWE Photo
Before this, there was an Elias concert and he was no surprise, crapping on Philadelphia. The match itself was fine. Elias won the match with the drift away. 

After the match, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins came out to get Dean Ambrose on the same page and Ambrose decided to leave Reigns and Rollins with nothing. 

Then, Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley came out to beat The Big Dog and The King Slayer to which Dean Ambrose ran to the rescue and the trio did the shield pose. 

Sasha Banks vs Tamina. 

WWE Photo
This was okay. Tamina won the match with the superkick. 

Aleister Black and Ricochet vs The Revival. 

WWE Photo
After a waste of a segment between Braun Strowman and the guys over at Saturday Night Live, this match happened and it was meh. The match ended with a DQ because Bobby Roode and Chad Gable were beating up The Revival and then, both teams in Aleister Black, Ricochet, Bobby Roode and Chad Gable had a physical interaction. This is not a good look for The Revival but at least they didn't lose clean this time. 

Becky Lynch Signs A Hold Harmless Contract.  

WWE Photo
Stephanie McMahon came out with the championship and the contract. McMahon then called out Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch. Becky then signed the legal agreement and Ronda Rousey marches to the ring (get it, because we're in the month of March). 

Ronda Rousey wants the RAW women's championship back to which Stephanie McMahon gave her the championship. Ronda then craps on the fans because of them booing her for the past months and attacks Becky Lynch. So, Ronda Rousey is now a heel and I ABSOLUTELY love it. No more Ms. nice bitch indeed. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: End segment, Heavy Machinery looking good in that Gauntlet match, Triple H promo. 

Didn’t like: Too many backstage segments.

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...
