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 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 13/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

I didn't like this show. Thankfully, this episode didn't pull a Smackdown but because of how well last week's show went, I felt really underwhelmed watching that.   MVP Lounge. Special Guest, Dolph Ziggler.  Montel Von Porter welcomed his guest that shares a common hatred for Drew McIntyre and that guest is, of course, Dolph Ziggler.  Ziggler compliments the new United States championship design to which MVP let him know that he'll talk to his people and get a new WWE championship design once the show-off, wins the championship (and honestly, Ziggler's got a point, the WWE Title needs a new design).  Dolph further tells MVP that he's the reason why Drew defeated Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania for the WWE title.  Out came the Scotsmen himself and he basically said that he'll beat the crap out of him and Dolph got a bit of that with a punch. An enjoyable segment.  The thing I kind of appreciate about this feud is that Dolph...

Finn Balor Is Indeed Out Of Action.

A couple of days ago, WWE announced that Finn Balor suffered an injury and didn't specify on what the injury was. His last match, by the way, was a triple threat match at a house show last Wednesday in Santiago, Chile against Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre to which McIntrye won.  It turns out that Finn wasn't dealing with an injury at all, at least according to Mike Johnson over at  PWinsider . Instead, Balor is dealing with an illness and couldn't continue the Latin America tour. Finn is also unable to compete on the Mixed Match Challenge, replacing him with Apollo Crews. But the powers that be believe that he's 100% ready for TLC next week. Here's what he had to say about that via Twitter:  I am sorry I could not preform in #WWEBuenosAires Lo siento no pude competir en #WWEBuenosAires — Finn Bálor forEVERYone (@FinnBalor) December 7, 2018   I wish him nothing but a speedy recovery.  By the way, I report on the 5 major or minor news of ...
