WWE Smackdown 5/3/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a 7/10 Smackdown Live episode actually. Good show with one entertaining match and here's why. 

Opening Segment.

This show started off with everybody's favourite vegan, Daniel Bryan. At least he's my favourite vegan. Anyways, Daniel Bryan showed the crowd a video package about Kofi Kingston and then, he cut a promo saying that Bryan has been silenced after all of this. 

Daniel Bryan also said that Kofi is nothing more than a supporting player and not a leader. Bryan then called Kevin Owens “just like everybody else” and here came Owens himself. 

Owens cut a babyface promo saying that he's gonna keep Daniel Bryan's mouth shut. Back and forth promos between Owens and Bryan later and Kevin got a big face chokeslam from Rowan. A very weak segment and Owens’ face promo was kinda bland. However, I'll give this babyface run from Kevin Owens a shot. 

Jey Uso vs The Miz.

Before this, The Usos cut a great about how the team of Shane McMahon and The Miz are stepping up with a great tag team and they're gonna be welcomed to the Uso Penitentiary at Fastlane. Then, the team of McMiz came out to say that they're gonna make Cleveland, Ohio proud. The match itself was okay. Miz won the match here with the skull crushing finale to Jey Uso. 

Backstage Interview time with Kayla Braxton and her Interviewee is The Queen. Charlotte Flair said that she will invite Becky tonight to have a “friendly discussion”. 

R Truth US Championship Open Challenge.

Guess who answered the challenge this time? It was not Lacy Evans who at this point her gimmick is basically she comes and goes just like Vince's mentality but rather it was Samoa Joe, Rey Mysterio and Andrade. 

This match was pretty good actually. Samoa Joe won his first main roster championship with the uranage to Andrade. This was a long time coming and I hope that Joe actually does something with the championship. 

Aleister Black and Ricochet vs The Bar.

This was an Okay match. After the team of Aleister Black and Ricochet won the match with the 630 to Cesaro, Rusev and Nakamura seek attacked Aleister Black and Ricochet to which The Hardy came out to save the NXT guys. 

Mandy Rose vs Naomi.

This was a quick one. Mandy Rose won the match with the underhook slam. After the match, Asuka absolutely destroyed the team of Fire and Desire. 

Kayla Braxton interviewed AJ Styles about how he feels kinda sorry for Kofi Kingston considering that Kingston got robbed which led to Randy Orton coming out and replied with “Are you seriously talking about someone other than you {referring to AJ Styles}, deserves a title opportunity? {Laughs} man, I see why it took you 15 years to get here.” It looks like WWE is planting seeds for this feud (No shit, Omar). 

Kevin Owens vs Rowan. 

WWE Photo
This match ended quickly with a DQ because of Rowan and then, Mustafa Ali came out to save Owens and a brawl ensues. Great to see Mustafa Ali back in action.   

Charlotte Flair Invites Becky Lynch To The Ring.

WWE Photo
After Charlotte Flair showed the crowd a clip from RAW last night where Ronda Rousey beat the crap out of Becky Lynch, The Man came out and said that Ronda hits Lynch with her absolute best and Becky is still standing. Charlotte then attacked Becky Lynch which led to Becky Lynch locking in the disarmher to Charlotte. Compared to RAW’s end segment, this was rather okay at best. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: R Truth US Championship Open Challenge.

WWE Extreme Rules 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Man, I'm impressed with WWE in terms of PPVs as of late because overall, this was a fantastic show in my opinion with great matches but the crowd was dead for most of the show so that sucks.  I finally watched the pre-show match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura before I went to bed because the show aired at 2 am where I live and it was okay.  By the way, how interesting is it when on last year’s Extreme Rules show, Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States championship and now this year’s show, he won the intercontinental title. Also, it's funny that the intercontinental championship was the main event on last's year show and on this year's Extreme Rules PPV, it's on the preshow.  Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns and The Undertaker.  Mike Rome did better in announcing "The Best In the world" this time than on RAW. Mike Rome's announcement a few weeks ago sounded like that one friend that thinks he/she knows how to ...

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling.  What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill.  This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come.  Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai.  A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match.  Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match.  Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
