WWE Smackdown Live 4/6/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was one big meh of an episode. That’s all I’m gonna say about that. 

Opening segment. 

He recalls going back to Ghana for the first time in 26 years and says it̢۪s an amazing experience to tell children in Ghana that they can be whatever they want to be.
The show kicked off with you guessed it, Kofi Kingston who by the way, just came back from a vacation to his home country in Ghana. Kofi Kingston said that life full of craziness and full of surprises and wants to inspire people. 

Kofi showed a video footage of his trip to his home country and then talked about his vacation with tears. Dolph Ziggler came to ruin his moment by saying that he respects Kofi but that WWE championship should've been on his waist. 

Suddenly, Kingston is cut off by Dolph Ziggler, who will challenge him for the WWE Title on Friday at Super ShowDown.

Kofi replied by saying that he knows how Dolph Ziggler feels and Kofi showed Ziggler a video footage in Dec 2017 episode of Smackdown when he relinquished the United States championship. Kofi said that the reason why he played that footage is because Dolph always does after he doesn't get his way and that's quitting. 

After that, Dolph played of the footage of Ziggler's beatdown on Kofi a few weeks ago (Wow, a lot of video footages playing eh?) Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn came out to start off a tag match between Owens and Zayn vs Kingston and Woods. I actually liked this segment and yes, even with many video packages playing even though I joked about it a bit earlier. 

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn vs Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.

This was an okay match. The ⅔ of The New Day won the match with a trouble in paradise and then Dolph superkicked both Kingston and Woods. 

A Moment of Bliss. SmackDown Live Edition. 

Flair discloses that Shane has told her that there will be a match tonight to determine Bayley̢۪s challenger: Bayley vs. Alexa vs. Charlotte!
Alexa introduced Bayley until she wants for he coffee. Alexa then lists off her accomplishment then Bliss' coffee finally came to which Bayley smacked it. 

Carmella and then, Charlotte Flair came out to give their reasons as to why they deserve a championship and announced a triple threat match between Carmella, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss to determine who's gonna face the SmackDown Live women's champion at Stomping Ground. Decent segment. Didn't do anything for me but it did progress decently to a PPV. 

Then, R Truth and Carmella were talking backstage until Shane called on Carmella's phone and made a match for R Truth and that match is…….

R Truth vs Elias for the WWE 24/7 Championship in a Lumberjack match. 

WWE Photo
Elias won his second WWE 24/7 championship with a knee then a roll up. Then all the Lumberjacks were beating up Elias but Elias somehow escaped without the Lumberjack's knowledge to which Truth was chasing Elias under the ring and Truth won the title for the third time just like that. 

Wow, that segment made the entire rest of the WWE roster that was part of that match look really stupid like Elias WAS OUTSIDE CRAWLING FOR GOD SAKE!!!

Shane McMahon Says That What Roman Can Do, Shane Can Do Better If Not The Best. 

Shane says he had a great time decimating The Usos and Roman Reigns with The Revival last night.
Shane came out with The Revival from RAW and talked about him beating Roman Reigns on RAW last night. Shane McMahon made some dog metaphors about Roman and then, out came Roman Reigns himself.

Reigns superman punched The Revival and was walking to the ring slowly until Drew McIntyre kicked Roman's head off with the claymore kick. I have to say, this was a lot shorter than I expected and I didn't hate it but still, I don't care about this feud. 

Charlotte Flair vs Carmella vs Alexa Bliss. The winner faces the SmackDown women's championship at Stomping Ground. 

WWE Photo
During the match, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville showed up and were standing near the ring. The closing moments of the match, the duo know as Fire And Desire distraction Carmella to which Alexa Bliss hit a DDT to Carmella and won the match. 

On one hand, the feud between Alexa and Bayley started off great with a fantastic match at Payback 2017. On the other hand, Alexa Bliss and Bayley were part of the worst segments in RAW history. I'm confused but we shall see how WWE builds this to Stomping Ground. 

Lars Sullivan Exclusive In Ring Interview With Kayla Braxton. 

Kayla asks Lars what drives him.
Braxton asked him what's his motivation for wreaking havoc on RAW and Smackdown Live? Lars answered the question by telling her that she should call him The Freak. 

Braxton asked him about his match with The Lucha House Party and he replied with a nursery rhyme. I don't remember Lars Sullivan being that green in the mic. I'm I going crazy? Let me know in the comments. 

Andrade In Action. 

WWE Photo
Andrade was having a match with Apollo Crews until Finn Balor came out and brawled with him. This is the only time this match actually has a "build" if you call it that. 

Goldberg Talks About His Match With The Deadman at Super showdown. 

The former WCW Champion has been wondering for years what it would be like to fight The Undertaker… and now he finally gets the match he’s always wanted.
In Goldberg's promo, he mentioned the Undertaker line about how he doesn't need the family man and Goldberg agrees with him. Goldberg ended the promo by saying that he's next to which Undertaker showed up. 

This was a much better end segment than last night's version and during the show, they actually showed the extended version of The Undertaker's promo on RAW so there's that. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: The opening segment. 

Didn't like: The Lumberjack's looked really dumb, Lars Sullivan promo was pretty bad (even though I can't blame him for that). 

Guys, don't expect an NXT review tomorrow because the NXT after a Takeover is a skippable show.

WWE RAW 30/12/19 | My Coherent Review.

I'm back from a two-week review hiatus and honestly, it was refreshing but this ain't about me. You're here for my thoughts on the final RAW of the 2010s and it was decent until the ending.  I'm still in shock as to what did I just witness. I've not been this shocked from seeing an ending like that probably since watching the movie "Schindler's List".  Kevin Owens Wants To Take Seth Rollins And AOP Down.  Owens in a promo, says that the heel trio are disrespecting Rey Mysterio and shows footage of Mysterio losing the US title to Andrade in a house show even though the luchador wasn't 100%.  Seth Rollins and his friends came out and Kevin Owens immediately tried to attack AOP but that did not fail thanks to Samoa Joe and chaos has ensued to start off RAW.  Charly Caruso showed up to interview Samoa Joe about what AOP and Rollins did to him last week to which a bunch of security guards entered the locker room to get rid of Owens ...

WWE RAW 11/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show makes me wanna go home if I was an attendance of this show. In other words, RAW wasn't good and here's why.  Opening Segment.  The show started off with The Authority. A stable that I actually don't mind but that a different topic. Anyways, they run down the Elimination Chamber PPV card. After that, The Man Becky Lynch came out and Triple H said that he will lift the suspension if Becky apologizes to both him and Stephanie.    Becky then told Stephanie to shut her face and she refused to apologize. The segment ended with Hunter giving her two choices. Either Becky apologizes to them or Becky's WrestleMania match is off.  Compared to the segments on RAW and Smackdown last week, this was underwhelming.  Sasha and Bayley vs Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan vs Nia Jax and Tamina. Loser enters first in the Elimination Chamber match.  The match was fine. During the match, Bayley delivered two stunners on the ...

WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go.  WHAT'S OK The opening segment  This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles  Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...
