WWE Smackdown Live 2/4/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show for Smackdown Live felt like it was a go home show for Backlash and not for the biggest professional wrestling show of the year. It was an okay show but it could've been so much better. 

The Kevin Owens show. 

KO asks Orton why he interfered in AJ’s match against Kurt Angle last week and if he’s proud of doing so.
This show started with The Kevin Owens’ Show which now thinking about it, Owens should've returned the SmackDown Live after mania but that's a different topic. Owens then introduced his guests and that's Randy Orton and AJ Styles. 

Kevin Owens asked Randy if Randy is proud of what he did last week? Orton replied with a yes and he also said that he saved the WWE universe from seeing the match between Styles and Angle which was funny. 

Styles replied by saying that Randy has been in WWE for 20 years and only learned one move. Styles also said that when AJ was wrestling at high school gyms, Randy was in WWE getting himself suspended for drug violations (ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh). 

This, of course, made Randy Orton mad and Randy said that Styles’ legacy ever since John Cena left to Hollywood is being a corporate bitch. Then both men had a brawl which led to Randy hitting an RKO, reversing the Phenomenal forearm in the process. 

Good segment and I'm impressed how WWE has built this feud. Should be a killer match at Wrestlemania. 

The Usos, Aleister Black and Ricochet vs The Bar, Rusev and Nakamura.

Decent match. After The team of The Usos, Aleister Black won the match with a double superkick from The Usos to Rusev, Alexa Bliss came out and she made a match between all of the Smackdown tag teams for the SmackDown Live Tag Team Championship this Sunday. Would've preferred a tag match between The Usos and The Hardy Boyz but whatever. 

The IIconics Has A Word For Their WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Opponents. 

WWE Photo
The Australian duo cut a promo about how he could pin one of their opponents to become WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. That it's. That was the segment. This is worth a 5 minute YouTube video and not in a television segment. 

The Miz vs Sanity. Three on One Handicap match. 

WWE Photo
We go from one in-ring promo segment to another. Well, kinda considering that it led to a match. In it, Miz said that he's the best version of himself and called Shane a son of a bitch. During the match, Shane McMahon came out and made this match into a falls count anywhere. At one point, they brawl outside the arena. The Miz won the match by pushing a production cart of some sort on to Eric Young's face. 

Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey have been released from the precinct. 

She remembers last year at this time when she and Charlotte were the best of friends and Ronda Rousey was about to debut and says she “smacked the smugness off Charlotte Flair’s face at SummerSlam.”
Becky Lynch came out and grabbed a microphone from Corey Graves’ hand. The Man said that ever since she slapped the crap outta Charlotte at SummerSlam last year, she had to fight to be in this year's Wrestlemania in the main event and she's gonna be a double champion. This was okay. 

An 18 Person Mixed Tag Team Match.

WWE Photo
 An 18 person tag match? That's a first. this match apparently has no ending like which team who the match? The babyface team? The heel team? After the match, Asuka like Apollo Crews on RAW last night threw pretty much everybody over the top rope. Glad that Asuka got that spotlight but the ending to this match made no sense whatsoever. 

Ali vs Samoa Joe. 

WWE Photo
The match ended with Samoa Joe reversed the 450 splash and instead delivered the clutch and won the match. Still can't get used to calling Mustafa Ali as just Ali. 

WWE Championship Contract Signing. 

Kofi Kingston and The New Day bound to the squared circle for the contract signing.
Michael Cole is moderating the contract signing apparently. After The New Day came out to the ring, the crowd started to chant “Kofi, Kofi, Kofi” while Daniel Bryan was cutting a promo. Daniel Bryan then called the crowd parricides and told Kofi that he doesn't feed off the crowd but rather the crowd feeds off Kofi. 

Kofi Kingston replied by saying that Daniel doesn't know who Kofi Kingston is considering that Daniel hasn't waited for 11 years to get a singles WWE championship match and Kofi Kingston will become WWE champion for the first ever. Decent end segment and I'm hoping that we as fans get to see the payoff of this storyline. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: The Kevin Owens show.  

Didn't like: A 17 Person Mixed Tag Team Match, The IIconics Has A Word For Their WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Opponents.

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...
