WWE Smackdown Live 9/4/19 | My Coherent Review.

Just like Monday Night RAW, this was an okay episode and now thinking about it, I feel like this is just WWE creative’s way to put stuff out so that they could refill their creative juices you know what I mean?

Opening segment.

The show started off with the new WWE champion, Kofi Kingston along with the rest of the members of the New Day in Big E and Xavier Woods.

They then talked about what happened last night on RAW including the split that Big E did and how Xavier Woods meeting Kingston back in 2014 was Woods’ honour. Kofi Kingston said that this moment wasn't supposed to happen but here he is and thanked his family for being the best version of himself.

The Bar came out with “shut the fuck up” chants and they proposed a 6 man tag team match in the main event between The New Day, The Bar and Drew McIntyre from Monday Night RAW to which The New Day accepted. An odd choice for Drew to appear on SmackDown Live but it is what it is. Overall a decent segment.

Aleister Black, Ricochet and Ali vs Rusev, Shinsuke Nakamura and Andrade.

The first 6 man tag match of the night and it was okay. The team of Aleister Black, Ricochet and Ali won the match with the 450 splash from Ali which led to an RKO outta nowhere from Randy Orton to Ali and a stunner from Kevin Owens to Rusev. Weird but I like it.

R Truth And Carmella Recaps Wrestlemania 35.

WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal winner Carmella remembers cashing in her Money in the Bank contract to become SmackDown Womenâ€™s Champion.

You read the title right. That's exactly what they did until the United States champion Samoa Joe came out and put the inventor of the 5 seconds dance break to sleep. Braun Strowman from Monday Night RAW came out and they went back and forth until Joe retreated. Did the superstar shake-up came early or what?

The IIconics’ Women's Championship Open Challenge.

Local jobbers aka The Brooklyn Bells answered the challenge and it’s pretty disappointing but from a kayfabe perspective, it's smart that they're defending their championships against teams that bring no threat to them if that makes sense and technically if they do this then they are defending champions. The IIconcis obviously retained their championships with a double team manoeuvre I don't know but looked impressive.

Shane McMahon promo time.

Shane tells Greg Hamilton to get into the ring with him, and he thinks Gregâ€™s introduction was a little lacking tonight.

McMahon talked about how the WWE universe whats to see him beat The Miz and how he hits George Mizanin aka Mr Miz's potato face. Shane then called out Greg Hamilton to announced Shane McMahon’s name with conviction. This was okay.

After that, they played the same video back on RAW last night where a crocodile looking puppet was laughing in a dark background which I realize that's Bray Wyatt. I felt so dumb when I said that it's Mojo Rawley.

The Usos vs The Hardy Boyz for the SmackDown Live Tag Team Championship.

This was a pretty good match. During the match, Jeff reversed the whisper in the wind from Jey Uso and instead did a whisper in the wind of his own. Hardy Boyz won the match with the championships with The Swanton Bomb and then Lars Sullivan came out and destroyed the new tag team champions. Like I said on my RAW review (which you can click here to read it), Lars Sullivan should be on the blue brand considering that RAW has a lot of big dudes.

Becky Lynch Talks About Her Big Victory Two Nights Ago.

Becky knows sheâ€™s holding two big targets, and she promises to pull double duty after the Superstar Shake-up.

Becky Lynch cut a promo about her brawl with Lacy Evans on RAW last night. Becky Lynch ended the promo by saying that she welcomes all comers, all challengers. Minutes after she cut her promo, Lacy Evans hits Becky with the woman's right. Short but an okay promo from Becky Lynch.

The New Day vs The Bar and Drew McIntyre.

Before the match happened, Sami Zayn came out and simply said that this is not worth it. Okay? The match itself was okay. The New Day won the match with the trouble in paradise to Sheamus.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:

Like: The Usos vs The Hardy Boyz, the ending of the Aleister Black, Ricochet and Ali vs Rusev, Shinsuke Nakamura and Andrade match.

Didn't like: Sami Zayn coming out basically saying nothing before the main event.

For the fans reading this, don't expect an NXT review tomorrow because the NXT after a Takeover is usually a skippable show. Might post a superstar shake up predictions tomorrow. Anyways, what do you think about Smackdown Live this week? Follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions, follow me on the tweets @omar_playa and stay safe smarks.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode. The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW. NXT Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship. Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that. As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail). Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom. Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys. The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry: "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli. Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

A Brief Guide To Pro Wrestling Websites.

So. You just become a fan of pro wrestling and have dabbled into the fandom for a bit (it's a mess ain't it?) You've just followed some news sites' social media platforms but aren't sure whether the articles they put out are accurate or not. Well, you got the right guy to solve that problem if it's from a blog that barely gets any traction (that would be me in case you were confused). The news we get from the medium that is pro wrestling is an integral part of the online space. The reason being is that it's not only a great conversation starter but you could also learn something new today about the industry you love. That doesn't mean that all of the news you see on the timeline is reliable. I'm here to hopefully give you a guide to wrestling sites. There are many wrestling websites out there but I wanna highlight some of the notable ones. Okay? Here we go. #1: Wrestling Observer Newsletter aka F4WOnline. I can't talk about a guide t...
