WWE Smackdown Live 28/5/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a decent episode of Smackdown Live. Liked how they changed the way they approached storyline in this show.

Kevin Owens vs Kofi Kingston.

The show kicked off with a match which I appreciate WWE main roster TV for changing their formula every once in a while.

However, before that, he cut a promo about how the opening segment was supposed to be a KO show, how he hasn't beaten up Big E which is interesting, how he's gonna beat up Kofi (which Tom Phillips couldn't wait for the promo to end) and out came Kofi.

Kofi Kingston basically said that Kevin will play for his actions. The match itself was pretty solid. Kofi Kingston obviously won the match with the trouble in paradise.

Meanwhile, Truth and Carmella were looking for ways to run from the rest of the WWE superstars.

The Planet's Champions In Ring Interview With Kayla Braxton.

The Planetâ€™s Champion derides the WWE tag team division and calls it a joke.

Daniel Bryan and Rowan made a "knock, knock. Who's there?" joke but about the SmackDown Live tag team division. Daniel then crapped on Oklahoma and want's to save the tag team division and the planet.

Tucker says he and Otis love having fun, but itâ€™s time for Heavy Machinery to get down to business.

Kayla told them that there's one team that wants to challenge them and out came Heavy Machinery. Heavy Machinery challenged the planet's champions to which Daniel accepted but not in Oklahoma. This was aight and that's all I feel about it.

Mandy Rose vs Carmella.

By the way, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville were passing on copies of fitness magazines backstage that has Rose as the cover including Ember Moon who's reading a fiction book I believe. Mandy Rose won the match with a roll up.

Shane McMahon Appreciation Night.

Before this, Aleister Black cut a promo in a dark room with a black shirt and he basically said that he's waiting patiently for anybody to pick a fight with him. That's cool and all but when's Aleister going to compete in a match?

Shane showed the audience a great promo video package about himself (because he's the TOP heel even though he's not an active competitor), thanked Kevin Dunn for the video and said that there's no reason to boo Kevin Dunn which made me laugh for some reason.

Shane also said that he's gonna beat the respect out of Reigns. Elias replied by saying that he wrote a song about Shane McMahon. R Truth came out and pinned Drake Maverick to which Drew and Elias were beating up Truth. Elias pinned R Truth and just like that, Elias just won his first championship ever in WWE and Shane made a tag match between Drew, Elias, R Truth and Roman Reigns. Truth honestly saved this boring segment.

After that, Lacey Evans and Charlotte Flair were drinking tea in the locker room and they talked about how if it wasn't for that cash in, Charlotte would've been SmackDown Live women's champion. I really, really, really, really love this for some reason.

Bayley vs Lacey Evans.

The match ended with Bayley hitting Charlotte to which Charlotte ran to the ring and the ref was dealing with The Queen.

Lacey Evans was pinning Bayley via a modified roll up but the ref didn't see that until Bayley delivered a roll-up of her own and won the match. After the match, Charlotte and Lacy Evans were brawling to which Charlotte kicked Evans with a big boot. Ahhh, I was enjoying this friendship.

After a long video package about a match I don't give a crap about between Triple H and Randy Orton, Andrade cut a promo in the interview setting area basically saying that he will beat Finn at Super showdown.

Roman Reigns and R Truth vs Drew McIntyre and Elias.

As R Truth was about to enter the ring, Drew and Elias were beating up Truth again. Roman Reigns absolutely dominated the match and because of that, his team won the match with a spear to Elias.

After the match, Roman speared Elias again which led to R Truth pinning Elias and he became a two time 24/7 champion. I honestly really liked the ending and how Truth got the title back. It was a short and sweet moment if you ask me.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:

Like: The ending, Lacey Evans and Charlotte having a tea party.

Didn't like: Shane McMahon Appreciation Night before Truth showed up.

WWE Smackdown 20/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

That CM Punk return was so noteworthy, it blew this entire episode out of the water. That’s it. That’s the opening statement. Images via WWE.com Edge Wasn't Playing When He Said That He'll Put Seth Into Darkness. The show started off with the Rated R superstar saying that Rollins has made the guy find his heart when the blood runs black. In other words, he'll beat the shit out of Rollins at slamming of summer. Speaking of "the blood runs black", after Seth Rollins gave a speech on how he can't be on Sethy's level, the man that says "drip" more times than a white dude that streams on Twitch, was covered in black liquid following Gangrel's theme song playing in the background. Edge ain't f**king around. I appreciated the uniqueness of the segment and how it was a tribute to WWE's continuity (which if you've been watching WWE for a longer period of time then you'll know that WWE acknowledging their storytelling cohesion ...

WWE NXT Takeover: Toronto | My Coherent Review.

Another month or so, another great NXT Takeover event courtesy of the NXT creative team filled with top-notch in-ring action and storytelling. I know it feels tiresome when you heard people praise highly talk about the Takeover shows but trust me they are that good. The Street Profits vs The Undisputed Era for the NXT Tag Team Championship. During the match, Montez Ford delivered the people's elbow after hitting a spinebuster on Bobby Fish. The match ended with a frog splash from Montez Ford and The Street Profits continues to celebrate as tag team champions. I'm very conflicted with this decision mainly because I don't want to see more okay matches between The Forgotten Sons and Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan but I'm going to be optimistic hoping that it's not the case. Io Shirai vs Candice Lerae. Io's theme song is simple yet badass at the same time (no shit, Omar). The match started off with Candice rushing to the ring and brawled on the outs...

WWE RAW 2/9/19 | My Coherent Review.

The second week in a row where RAW is a good show overall and here's why. Seth Rollins vs Braun Strowman For The Universal Championship Contract Signing. Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman came out to the ring at different times to make one of their championships matches official and they brought up reasons as to why they're going to win the championship of the universe you know like most contract signings. Out came The O.C and AJ Styles became a typical wrestling fan for a moment by cutting a promo about how Rollins and Strowman didn't deserve their title opportunities. The O.C ignored Micheal Cole's saying of Rollins and Strowman having a contract signing and they had a brawl which led to a tag team match. For an opening segment, this was weeeeeeeeeeak. I mean NXT's openings is not revolutionary but at least it's decent. That didn't do its job to build off this match not gonna lie. The O.C vs Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman. Afte...
