WWE Smackdown Live 21/5/19 | My Coherent Review.

This episode of Smackdown Live was okay. Much better paced show than RAW because Smackdown doesn't have a third hour. 

The showed started off with a backstage segment. What year is this? 2019 or 2002? Anyways, in it, Shane was in his office until Elias showed up and he mentioned that he will be in McMahon’s corner at Super showdown. Shane replied by also saying that he will be in Elias’ corner for his match with Roman Reigns on this very episode. 

New Day Introduces Their Best friend Back. 

WWE Champion Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods kick off SmackDown LIVE!
You know who they brought up? A light-skinned version of Big E (I'm not kidding, they actually brought that guy up by accident of course). No, they introduced Big E back after weeks and weeks of sitting at home recovering.

Big E then sniffed Xavier hair and Kofi’s armpits and they were entertaining as usual in those types of segments like how Kofi joked about not taking himself seriously as champion. Out came Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn and Zayn basically said that he didn't get anything when he was out for 9 months to which Big E said that he will get what Kevin Owens got at Money In The Bank and that's nothing. 

Sami also said that Kofi’s night wouldn't end in fun and Kofi countered back by saying that he will throw down when's it all set and done. This was aight. Nothing really memorable other than New Day's banter. 

After that, Carmella was looking for R Truth until she found him with a white coloured wing and she told him to hide somewhere else. 

Andrade vs Ali.

Decent match but if given more time, they could deliver a great match (No shit, Omar). Andrade was aiming at Ali's back and was almost successful at putting him down but he lost with a small package from Ali. 

I mean, Andrade should've won the match considering that he's a title match coming up in a few weeks. 

Mandy Rose vs Carmella.

Carmella came out with a pimped out version of R Truth and she brought up a good point earlier about how he should've not been on this show because of obvious reasons like how he's a 24/7 championship. Her point was proven because the entire superstars and referees stormed to the ring and both Truth and Carmella ran as fast as possible. 

Kayla Braxton interviewed Bayley about her big moment at Money In The Bank and asked her about what the competitors need to know about Bayley? She replied by saying that she hopes for the superstars to bring their best. 

Kofi Kingston vs Sami Zayn.

Before the match happened, Big E was sitting on the ground along with refs, the medical team and Xavier Woods checking on him and he said: “it was Owens”. Anyways, the match was okay. Kofi won the match with the trouble in paradise.

After the match, Paul Heyman came out and teased a cash in from Brock Lesnar until Dolph Ziggler came from outta nowhere and he was beating up Kofi. I'm just as confused about this as the commentators like what's his motivation for putting the mugging on Kingston? Find out in a few scrolls. 

Then, Roman Reigns was walking outside the arena until Elias was singing about Roman Reigns on the top of the production truck. 

Bayley and Becky Lynch vs Charlotte Flair and Lacy Evans. 

WWE Photo
This was okay. The team of Bayley and Becky Lynch won the match with the small package from Bayley to Charlotte. 

After that, Dolph Ziggler took a microphone and he aired his motivations for his vicious attack. Basically, he said that he should've been him being replaced by Ali at Elimination Chamber a couple of months ago and not Kofi Kingston. He ended the promo by saying that he will beat Kofi for the championship at Super showdown. 

We got another match confirmed for Super Showdown because if you have been on social media, you'll know why. So, they're playing the jealous trope in this feud and I don't mind it actually.

Roman Reigns vs Elias. Money In The Bank 2019 rematch.

This was okay. Elias hitting an elbow will always impress me. Roman Reigns won this match with the spear and then, Shane delivers Roman with series of bad punches until Roman came back with a superman punch. Drew McIntyre returned out of nowhere with a claymore kick. Still not a fan of this feud. If this is how they wanna build up Roman then they're not doing a decent job. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: The New Day's banter in the opening segment. 

Didn't like: The ending was poor, Andrade losing.

Roman Reigns Relinquishes The Universal Title Because He Has Leukemia.

I have a sad and unfortunate news to break. Two hours ago on RAW, Roman cut a great promo pretty much stating that he's been living with leukemia for over 11 years and the disease's return forced him to give up the universal championship. The segment ended with both shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins gave a group hug to Roman and did the triple shield fist pump. Ever since that, fellow WWE superstars reacted to the news on Twitter and here are the tweets so far. An amazing human being, an incredible performer & a man I’m proud to be friends with. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Get well soon, champ! #ThankYouRoman https://t.co/jL1Q5dVvzs — #WOKEN, yet #BROKEN, Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) October 23, 2018 My heart right now ....

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...

Let's Talk About The White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY. The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire.  It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it.  The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind.  Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie.  While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent.  Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat".  That spear from Edge to...
