WWE NXT 24/4/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a meh episode of NXT. If this is the first time that somebody watches NXT with this episode then you'll have a hard time convincing that particular person to watch another episode you know what I mean? 

The Forgotten Sons’ Jaxson Ryker vs Humberto Carrillo.

I don't watch 205 live but I'm loving every time Humberto wrestles. The match ended in a double count out because Ryker was beating the crap out of Carrillo until Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan showed up to save the young luchador. Not a fan of the Forgotten Sons but this feud for some reason made me wanna watch those two teams fight and I don't know why exactly. 

After that, Adam Cole was asked backstage in a photo shoot about the Roderick Strong vs Johnny Gargano match until Matt Riddle showed up and said that it's his turn which led to Adam Cole leaving the shoot. 

Aliyah and Vanessa Bourne vs Candice LeRae and Kacy Catanzaro.

This was okay. The team of Candice LeRae and Kacy Catanzaro won the match with a springboard moonsault from LeRae. 

Cathy Kelly asked Io Shirai about the actions from Baszler last week and Io Shirai was about to speak until Shayna and the gang came from behind and the gang helped Shayna kicked Io right in the mouth. 

Also something that happened backstage, Kassius Ohno asked William Regal if Ohno could face the debuting Kushida and After Kassius left, William Regal made the match official. This should be very interesting. 

The Street Profits vs The War Raiders aka The Viking Raiders.

The match started quickly with a frog splash from Montez Ford and Rowe kicked out of 2. The War Raiders won the match with a double team slam to Montez Ford. Overall a good match. 

There were three interviewers asking Mia Yim about Shayna owning the NXT Women's division and Yim said that she learned a lot ever since facing the women's champion and she wants another shot at facing Shayna Baszler. 

Johnny Gargano vs Roderick Strong. 

WWE Photo
A decent main event. By the end of the match, The rest of Undisputed Era came out to save Strong and Matt Riddle showed up from behind to even the odds. Adam Cole then accidentally kicked Roderick Strong which led to Johnny Gargano delivering the slingshot DDT. After the match, there seemed to be some tension between Roderick Strong and his buddies. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: The Street Profits vs The War Raiders. 

Didn't like: after thinking long and hard, I have no negatives for this episode.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Three Big Returns, A Great Inaugural Women's Championship Match.

If you have been a fan of this site since January, then you'll know that I've completely rebooted my review process and now, I'm doing that again.  Don't worry, the format for my RAW, Smackdown and PPV reviews will still be the same but not on Wednesdays. So, here it is, My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays.  NXT The Highlights. Adam Cole vs Matt Riddle For The NXT Championship.  A match that opened this episode of the yellow brand, the original bro and the leader of The Undisputed Era tore the house down.  Whether it's Cole reversing the fireman's carry from Riddle into a backstabber, Cole hitting a Panama sunrise twice, a floating bro or the crowd chanting "Adam Cole, bro", it was a visual statement by NXT that the yellow brand is THE brand to watch.  Unfortunately,  Riddle felt short and ate the last shot but there was another highlight I wanna talk about….. Finn Balor Returns To N. X. T.  It's not a typo my friends, Finn ...

How Naomi's Royal Rumble 2020 Return SHOOK Black Twitter.

If you haven't been watching WWE for 10+ years, well first off, why are you here and secondly, can I be like you because I'm jealous?  Let me recap who Naomi is. She is a wrestler, actor, dancer, singer and a former women's champion who's been with WWE for 10 years.  In other words, Naomi is a future EGOT winner and you cannot tell me otherwise.  Thanks to her persona that resonated with the audience whether as a heel or a babyface, she has built up a following that is "ride or die" for the former funkadactyl aka stans which I am a part of.  Why? Because if there's one thing I have in common with Stan Twitter is that we love to call white people "ageing at the speed of crack".  She may be throwing glow sticks like an early 2010s Ellie Goulding music video, but she's a capable talent that can hang with the best of the best.  But, you read the title. This ain't about a career retrospect about Naomi (although I don't mind doing so), but ...
