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 Planet̢۪s 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 it̢۪s 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. 

Elias wrote Shane a song.

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 RAW 16/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another L for the red brand in terms of overall quality. And they do not need that L considering that it's the final show before this year's SummerSlam event.  Images via WWE.com   Randal Keith Orton And Riddal Are Back Together?  Randy explained his actions last week, stating that he simply doesn't owe anyone an explanation because he's Randy Orton (okay?).  Out came the most obnoxious person in Riddle and he wanted RKBRO to reunite. Styles showed up to hype up his big goof in Omos.  That RKO last week was as confusing as the thought of Jupiter Ascending being a "good movie".    The question is, did the band realigned themselves once again?  The answer was a soft no if you stopped watching the show after the Riddle and AJ Styles match (I don't blame ANYONE that stops watching Monday Night RAW).  However, that became a solid yes after Randy's bout with Omos. Am I the only one that feels kinda mid about this?  It's not terri...

WWE RAW 20/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of Monday Night RAW felt like if last week's show had a sequel if that analogy makes sense?  It didn't have a new, fresh take on the show and they instead played it safe which is fine. In this case, adding a few risks will definitely help the show from the overall feeling of emptiness metaphorically speaking of course.  Drew McIntyre Addresses The Man That Stomped Him Twice.   McIntyre opens a Monday Night RAW show with a promo for the second episode in a row. He wasn't shocked that Seth Rollins attacked him last week due to his new price possession and how the superstars want that taste of gold.  Angel Garza's music hits and the current United States champion, Andrade, strikes Drew but that led to not one but two claymore kicks on Andrade.  A decent opening segment. Did its job on building the main event match between Garza and Drew McIntyre. It must be cool for Angel Garza to go one on one with THE WWE champion. A definite car...

WWE RAW 17/8/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

This episode was A. S. S. Probably one of the most boring episodes I've seen all year.  The show was basically the Christmas episode/ the new year episode that came 4 months early.  And yes, I did post the Monday Night RAW review last Wednesday just like today (which is Wednesday) but it isn't going to be permanent though.  The reason why I posted the review a day late is that, life. Just life.  pictures via  WWE.com Drew Talks About What Randy Did To The Nature Boy Last Week.  McIntyre's reaction to what Randy did to Ric Flair was a feeling of disgust saying that Orton without question, heinously attacked a friend, a mentor and a father figure. As Drew continues to talk about how he'll beat the sh*t out of the legend killer, there were some technical issues that plagued the entire segment.  And who was responsible for that? Well, it was none other than Retribution.  Drew saw the verbal chaos going on f...
