WWE NXT 20/8/19 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, a decent edition of NXT that has a lot going on and next week's episode should be even better than that given that the matches announced for next week's show. 

Adam Cole Told The Fans A Long Time Ago That He's Keeping His Championship.  


All members of Undisputed Era approached the ring and the leader in Adam Cole told people so that he's still going to champion and also said that if there was a Mount Rushmore of NXT champions, Cole's will be in it 4 times. 

WWE PhotoThe rest of Undisputed Era, however, weren't happy on taking an L at Takeover: Toronto and Cole encouraged Fish, O'Reilly and Strong to get a rematch for the championship they each competed in. Just we thought that the opening segment has ended, Jordan Myles shows up with an NXT championship match contract and Adam Cole told him that facing him will guarantee Jordan an Undisputed failure. 

Myles tried to hand him the contract but drop it in a trolly fashion. If I won the NXT Breakout tournament with a championship match of my choosing, I'm gunning for the NXT Championship and that made a lot of sense. As far as this segment goes, I like this segment a lot. 

Damian Priest vs Mansoor.

An okay match. Damian Priest squashes Mansoor despite a decent effort by Mansoor with a crucifix powerbomb

Mia Yim vs Vanessa Bourne.

Just like the Priest vs Mansoor match, this match was aight. After Mia Yim won her respective match, out came Shayna Baszler and she offered her the opportunity to join her gang in Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke but she refused by trying to beat Shayna's posse up and instead, Yim ate a 3 on 1 beating from Shayna and the gang.

I guess this feud is still going and I don't know what to feel about it just like other than I'm not interested in this feud whatsoever. Man, that really proves that the NXT women's division is really weak. 

What I am really interested in is a match between Keith Lee and Dominic Djakovic and its coming next week on NXT TV next week. F' yes, I can't wait. 

Bronson Reed vs Shane Throne.

This match came about when Bronson Reed was interviewed about what's Reed going to do next until his Australia native in Shane Throne showed up basically called him a loser and Reed requested Throne to face him to which Shane accepted. 

During the match, Rees delivered a beautiful looking sitout spinebuster to Shane Throne. The match ended with a quick running knee and Throne took the W in this decent matchup. Didn't expect that Throne would win this match of all people but I hope that doesn't hurt Bronson Reed in the long run.

Velveteen Dream shows up sitting on his sofa with the help of two women pushing it to the stage area and he brought up examples of his t-shirt costing $30 and his replica sunglasses costing $10 but Dream retaining his title by pinning Pete Dunne is priceless. 

The Dream ended the promo saying that Roderick Strong would give him an experience of some sort in order for Strong to get a rematch for the North American title. Decent promo and that's all I got to say about that. 

Matt Riddle vs Killian Dain.

Matt Riddle started off this match by storming Dain to him with a series of straight rights. Dain then beats up Riddle's ribs which put Riddle in resting mode throughout this match. Matt countered Dain with a suplex and another suplex German style which was very impressive to look at. 

WWE Photo

Dain kicked Riddle with a shotgun dropkick on to the corner and a cannonball to a near fall. Killian Dain reversed Riddle's corkscrew moonsault and minutes later, Dain tried to do a backdrop on the steel steps but instead, on landing his back, it landed on his face.

 A Senton was delivered by the Beast of Belfast on the steel steps and a 3 Vader bombs from the middle rope on Riddle inside the ring this time to win this match and after the match was over and done with, Matt Riddle rushed to Killian Dain, caught him with a sleeper and the show awkwardly faded to black. 

As you can tell from reading this, that was a brutal match but I really enjoyed this match and I hope Riddle is okay from that odd landing. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Matt Riddle vs Killian Dain, The opening segment. 

Didn't like: The Shayna Baszler feud with Mia Yim so far.

My Coherent Predictions On: Money In The Bank 2018

Money in the bank has THE WORST buildup of 2018 so far (at least on the RAW side). Is it going to be worst than RAW this past few weeks or possibly backlash?  Will find out this Sunday but anyways on with the predictions Sami Zayn vs Bobby Lashley What can I say about this feud? ● No meaning behind it. ● No meaning behind it. ● And why's Bobby Lashley promo last night sounds like bubbles from powerpuff  or something? Nevertheless, It's a shame that both lashley and zayn are given a shitstorm of a storyline considering that their better than this. WINNER : Bobby Lashley. Bludgeon Brothers vs Luke Gallows And Karl Anderson WOW! Another match I don't give two fucks about. However if they want to make the show intriguing and unpredictable then I'll put the belts on....   WINNER: Gallows and Anderson. Big Cass vs Daniel Bryan. WWE made the right call in my opinion on moving big Cass to smackdown because he...

WWE Survivor Series 2019 | My Coherent Review.

The Survivor Series shows as of a few years has gotten better in terms of overall positives and I thought that this year will be no exception. It pains me to say this but the 2019 edition of Survivor Series was just okay. A few highlights but overall, not an offensive 3 ½ hours of wrestling to watch, to say the least. Oh, and I haven't seen the pre-show matches so I can't talk about it.  Team RAW In Kabuki Warriors, Charlotte Flair, Natalya And Sarah Logan vs Team Smackdown In Nikki Cross, Dana Brooke, Sasha Banks, Lacey Evans And Sasha Banks vs Team NXT In Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Candice LeRae, Io Shirai And Toni Storm. Women's Survivor Series Match.  Io Shirai and Kairi Sane delivered some quick moves earlier in the match. Brooke delivered an impressive rolling Senton to Shirai. Given that LeRae and Io were hurt, they were both eliminated. Bianca Belair got rid of two women.  One, it was Nikki Cross with a roll-up and the other was Sarah Logan with a 450...

WWE NXT 24/4/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a meh episode of NXT. If this is the first time that somebody watches NXT with this episode then you'll have a hard time convincing that particular person to watch another episode you know what I mean?  The Forgotten Sons’ Jaxson Ryker vs Humberto Carrillo.  I don't watch 205 live but I'm loving every time Humberto wrestles. The match ended in a double count out because Ryker was beating the crap out of Carrillo until Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan showed up to save the young luchador. Not a fan of the Forgotten Sons but this feud for some reason made me wanna watch those two teams fight and I don't know why exactly.  After that, Adam Cole was asked backstage in a photo shoot about the Roderick Strong vs Johnny Gargano match until Matt Riddle showed up and said that it's his turn which led to Adam Cole leaving the shoot.  Aliyah and Vanessa Bourne vs Candice LeRae and Kacy Catanzaro.  This was okay. The team of Candice LeRae and Kacy Cat...
