WWE NXT 19/6/19 | My Coherent Review.

This episode was okay. Nothing really happened besides some announcements for next week's show and beyond. 

The Rest Of Undisputed Era Celebrates Adam Cole's Big NXT Takeover Victory.

Adam Cole now being the 16th NXT champion, said that he told us so and he has fulfilled his prophecy. Cole also said that he's going to remake the NXT universe into an Undisputed image.

Did he unveil that image to the world? Well, it's not an image really but rather he shows us the NXT opening intro featuring the Undisputed Era only which was badass I must say. 

Adam Cole gave a warning to the North American champion and the NXT Tag Team Champions that they should shine those belts real nice. Speaking of The North American, out came the Velveteen Dream. The Dream said that the NXT Championship would look nice with his North American championship.

After Roderick Strong gave a lame response with "Dream on", Matt Riddle showed up and said that he's a stallion. Adam Cole countered that by saying that Riddle should go back to writing online reviews about the Attitude era. Was that a reference about his days at fightful? 

Tyler Breeze came out and told The Undisputed Era that they're in a match against Breeze, Riddle and Dream. This was an okay segment. Probably the best part about this was the crowd chanting "you're gorgeous" and "OG" to Tyler Breeze. 

Raul Mendoza vs The Debuting Damian Priest.

Damian Priest aka Punishment Martinez looked great in this match. Priest won the match with a twisting cutter. 

After the match, general manager William Regal made the announcement that a tournament is happening next week called "NXT Breakout" in which they selected 9 competitors and those people include Jordan Myles, BOA, Cameron Grimes aka Trevor Lee, Isiah "Swerve" Scott aka Shane Strickland, Dexter Lumis aka Sam Shaw, Bronson Reed aka Junah Rock, Angel Garza aka Humberto Garza and Joaquin Wilde aka DJZ .

I mean if I were one of those guys and I won the whole thing, I'll probably go for the NXT title but that's just me though. As far as this announcement goes, I love me some tournament. More tournament equals more wrestling and there's nothing wrong with that. Also, this is a great way of utilizing unused talent. Something that I wish the main roster would do. 

Taynara Conti vs Xia Li.

We go from a great video package about Mia Yim to a match that had a pretty bad looking judo throw from Conti. Xia Li won the match with a heel kick. Not a fan of this match to the honest. The crowd was into it so that's nice but I, unfortunately, wasn't. Curious as to where Xia Li goes from here though. 

Then, a Street Profits segment aired and they pretty much were celebrating their won with the fans outside or Full Sail and those guys are gonna face The Forgotten Sons so there's that. 

The Undisputed Era in Adam Cole, Bobby Fish and Roderick Strong vs Matt Riddle, Velveteen Dream and Tyler Breeze. 

WWE Photo
Matt Riddle delivering a kneebar to Adam Cole made me smile considering what Riddle said about Goldberg's kneebar. Minutes after that, Riddle did a suplex but Cole reversed that into a backstabber. 

Because Velveteen Dream tagged Tyler while Tyler was going to do a suicide dive and had some miscommunications, The Undisputed Era won the match with a suplex position into a backbreaker from Strong to the Velveteen Dream.

 In other words, Roderick Strong pinned the champ. Surely, Roderick's getting a North American championship match right seeing how the misunderstanding played put between Breeze and Drew right? Overall a decent 6 man tag match. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Damian Priest's debut. 

Didn't like: Taynara Conti vs Xia Li.

WWE Extreme Rules 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Man, I'm impressed with WWE in terms of PPVs as of late because overall, this was a fantastic show in my opinion with great matches but the crowd was dead for most of the show so that sucks.  I finally watched the pre-show match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura before I went to bed because the show aired at 2 am where I live and it was okay.  By the way, how interesting is it when on last year’s Extreme Rules show, Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States championship and now this year’s show, he won the intercontinental title. Also, it's funny that the intercontinental championship was the main event on last's year show and on this year's Extreme Rules PPV, it's on the preshow.  Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns and The Undertaker.  Mike Rome did better in announcing "The Best In the world" this time than on RAW. Mike Rome's announcement a few weeks ago sounded like that one friend that thinks he/she knows how to ...

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling.  What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill.  This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come.  Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai.  A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match.  Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match.  Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
