WWE Smackdown Live 16/4/19 Aka Superstar Shakeup Final Day | My Coherent Review.

Overall a good show but the Superstar shakeup element was a bit better than Monday Night RAW’s version. 

Opening segment. 

Owens congratulates Kofi for his incredible run to the WWE Title.

The second and final day of the Superstar shakeup started off with The Kevin Owens show and he obviously got a big ovation from the Montreal crowd. Owens said welcome to the Kevin Owens show in French and that's all I got from him speaking in French. 

 He then introduced ⅔ of The New Day in Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston and Owens asked him that they have a match between Rusev, Nakamura and Cesaro vs Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and himself. 

 The segment ended with all three of those men making a fool of themselves which I'm not gonna lie, it was entertaining. A decent segment in my opinion. Especially when Kevin Owens was gyrating. Hilarious stuff from Owens. 

Ali (Still Mustafa Ali to me) vs The first SmackDown Live Pick.

The first SmackDown Live pick is the Intercontinental champion, Finn Balor. Samoa Joe was supposed to be on RAW last night but he apparently got really sick. Anyways, the match itself was very good. Finn Balor won the match with the coup de grace. 

 After that, The New Day was searching for Big O aka Kevin Owens so that Kevin could eat a crap ton of pancakes to become an honorary member of The New Day which that's exactly what he did. 

Charlotte Flair vs Carmella.

During the match, Carmella delivered a cross body from the barricade to Charlotte which looked good. The match ended with Charlotte hitting the figure 8 and won the match. The match was a bit slow but it was solid. 

 After the match, Lars Sullivan came out and destroyed R Truth. If WWE was TV 14 again, guaranteed he's gonna beat up Carmella as well. Lars Sullivan is now officially on SmackDown Live even though by the end of my RAW review (click here to read it), I wrote that Lars Sullivan is on RAW which is an oopse from my part. 

Becky Lynch Has Her Own Announcement Regarding The Superstar shakeup (Yes, I got that from Tom Phillips). 

The Man has been keeping an eye on her potential challengers, and she vows to run right through Lacey Evans and “slap new heads.”

Becky Lynch talked about her win at Wrestlemania and wanting competition. Ember Moon and Bayley came out basically to challenge the championships. The IIconics came out and they said that Bayley and Ember got zero belts and how their belts look so much better than Becky's belts which I agree. 

 Paige came out and she announced who's gonna face the IIconics for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship and they are Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville or so I thought. That team is Asuka and Kairi Sane. All those women except for Becky had a brawl and you know what that means…..

Bayley, Asuka, Kairi Sane and Ember Moon vs The IIconics, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville.

The match was okay. The babyface team won the match with the insane elbow drop to Peyton Royce which is always great to look at. Ember Moon and Bayley coming to Smackdown Live is a great addition to the SmackDown Live women's division and I hope that Ember especially gets a championship opportunity ASAP. 

The New Day and Kevin Owens vs Rusev, Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro.

Another okay match. The New Day and Big O won the match with a stunner to Rusev. 

Vince McMahon announces the biggest acquisition in the history of Smackdown Live.  

Mr. McMahon claims it’s great to be back in Montreal.

Vince McMahon came out and he got  “You screwed Bret” chants which was hilarious. Then, he announced the biggest acquisition in the history of this show and that person is, Elias. Huh? I mean I like Elias but he's no BIG acquisition. 

 That was a BIG disappointment until the BIG Dog showed up (see what I just did there). The show ended with Roman Reigns telling everybody that SmackDown is his yard now and proceeded to spear Elias. I love this choice man and it makes a lot of sense considering that AJ Styles left the house that he built. 

 So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

 Like: Roman Reigns, Ember Moon and Bayley appearance, Finn Balor vs Mustafa Ali.

 Didn't like: Nothing really.

WWE RAW 29/3/21 | A Coherent Review.

Once again, this show was mediocre as f**k.  Images via WWE.com   The Hurt Business Is No More. Why? Because WWE hates friendships. All lame jokes aside, the actual reason is that Cedric Alexander and Shelton didn't get the job done on taking out Drew McIntyre.  Alexander and Benjamin weren't too happy with Bobby's words and it led to a brawl.   Wow. It looks like Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander will go right back to not being on TV for a longer period of time. I don't like this at all!  Riddle suggested an idea to Titus O'Neil of a Wrestlemania roast to which the guy was attacked by Sheamus. Speaking of Sheamus and Riddle…… Riddle vs Sheamus.  I ain't a fan of Riddle but he and Sheamus have incredible chemistry because this match was fun. Sheamus pinned the US champion.  After the match, Riddle pushed Sheamus to the outside. I smell a rematch happening at Wrestlemania.  Shane McMahon Calls Braun Strowman Dumb By Bringing up Strowman's Fifth Grade Repo

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand.  If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too.  *Cue the intro* Are you Ready?  Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.   Even Bischoff.  Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*.  The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).  Both Bliss and Nikki Cross talked about their c

WWE RAW 6/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW actually made me look forward to Extreme Rules and that's something WWE doesn't do all that well in recent years. It was a great effort by the powers that be.  Dolph Ziggler Picks The Stipulation For The WWE Championship At Extreme Rules: The Horror Show.  McIntyre is waiting for Dolph Ziggler to pick the stipulation for their championship match at Extreme Rules.  Drew got his wish as Dolph Ziggler said that Drew has been stabbing people in the back and that includes the person that Ziggler brought up but not verbally, Heath Slater.  In a very emotional promo, Slater told his former 3MB mate that he was there for Drew McIntyre when Drew was fired from WWE in 2014 but the Scotsmen wasn't there for Slater when he was fired this year.  So, the one-man-band challenged him to a match and the WWE champion accepted. How was the match?  It was a squash bout. Drew wins with the claymore to which Ziggler was picking on Heath and Mc
